AbstractAt 1:47 a.m. on September 21, 1999, the Mw 7.5 Chi-Chi earthquake struck Taiwan. The purpose of this study is to (1) apply multiple spatiotemporal-frequency analysis to filter the post-seismic change in groundwater head to explore the implicit drawdown associated with excess pore-water pressure release and effective stress relief during post-seismic evolution and (2) establish a stochastic experimental optimization model for identifying the hydrogeological evolution. The approaches used for post-seismic drawdown filtration include multi-rank principal components decomposition, multi-frequent wavelet transforms decomposition, and multi-level wavelet de-noising. This study especially evaluates the following advanced post-seismic evolving parameters: (1) harmonic average leaking/injecting rate, (2) distance between the acting position and monitoring well, (3) storage coefficient under effective stress relief and formation compression, and (4) transmissivity for excess-pore-water pressure release. This study applies the integrated methodology on 179 monitoring wells in the Chou-Shui River alluvial fan. Results show that the overlying principal components PCs and low-level wavelet de-noising can filter additional sources/sinks, in which the extracted drawdown from PC1+PC3 was related to the excess pore-water pressure relaxation process, that from PC2+PC5+PC6+PC7 and high-frequency wavelet de-noised detail cD2 related to the earth tidal fluctuation effect, and that from PC4+PC9 and cD3 related to the barometric effect. According to the Riemann integral and an objective function value duration curve, calculated occurrence probability from the stochastic optimization for SC2, the storage coefficient was reduced from pre-seismic pumping test value 0.00107, post-seismic 27th hour evolving value 0.000826 to post-seismic pumping test value 0.000578 in 2004, and the transmissivity increased from pre-seismic test value 92.4 m2/h, post-seismic 27th hour evolving value 98.6 m2/h to post-seismic test value 147.6 m2/h. The results demonstrate that the SC2 and GH3 zones suffer from crustal compression and the permeability was increased to dissipate excess pore-water pressure and effective stress.

Published: September 2020

Abstract
Background
Pulmonary vein thrombosis (PVT) and cerebral infarction are rare but critical complications after video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS).

Case presentation
We experienced two cases of massive middle cerebral artery infarction after VATS for the left upper lobe. Although the precise source of their embolus was never identified, both cases were clinically suspected PVT. Unfortunately, case 2 died because of progressive cerebral herniation. We decided to perform contrast-enhanced computed tomography routinely after VATS for the left upper lobectomy (VATS-LUL) after these cases. Case 3, a 79-year-old female patient, underwent VATS-LUL for lung cancer. She developed PVT in the stump of the left upper pulmonary vein on postoperative day 4. Anti-coagulation therapy was begun immediately and continued for 3 months. She was free of complications 7 months after the operation.

Conclusion
PVT and cerebral infarction may occur after VATS-LUL. Appropriate postoperative management is required to recognize PVT and to prevent life-threatening stroke.
Microscopic research on the olfactory organ of the Far Eastern brook lamprey Lethenteron reissneri (Pisces, Petromyzontidae)
Authors: Kim Hyun-Tae , Park Jong-Young 
Published: September 2020

AbstractThe olfactory anatomy and histology ofLethenteron reissneriwere researched using a stereo microscope, a light microscope, and a scanning electron microscope. As in other lampreys, it shows same characters as follows: i) a single olfactory organ, ii) a single tubular nostril, iii) a single olfactory chamber with gourd-like form, iv) a nasal valve, v) a nasopharyngeal pouch, vi) a sensory epithelium (SE) of continuous distribution, vii) a supporting cells with numerous long cilia, viii) an accessory olfactory organ. However, the description of a pseudostratified columnar layer in the SE and Non SE is a first record, not reported in sea lampreyPetromyzon marinus. In particular, both 19 to 20 lamellae in number and olfactory receptor neuron’s quarter ciliary length of the knob diameter differ from those ofP. marinus. From these results, it might be considered that the olfactory organ ofL. reissnerishows well adaptive structure of a primitive fish to slow flowing water with gravel, pebbles, and sand and a hiding habit into sand bottom at daytime. The lamellar number and neuron’s ciliary length may be a meaningful taxonomic character for the class Petromyzonida.

PURPOSE To identify genomic alterations as potential therapeutic targets in extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) of the vulva. METHODS We identified all patients with primary vulvar EMPD who were treated at our institution and underwent paired tumor-normal massively parallel sequencing of 410-468 cancer-related genes (MSK-IMPACT assay). EMPD of the vulva samples sequenced from 2014 to 2019 were reviewed and somatic mutations identified, with specific focus on mutations of potential therapeutic targets. Clinical data were abstracted from electronic medical records. Microsatellite instability (MSI) was assessed by MSIscore. RESULTS Tumors of 26 patients with EMPD underwent genomic sequencing. At diagnosis, all patients had noninvasive or microinvasive (< 1 mm) disease; invasive disease eventually developed in 2 patients. Primary treatment was surgery for 19 patients (73%) and imiquimod topical therapy for 7 (27%). Seven patients had ≥ 2 surgeries as part of clinical course (1 patient had 5 vulvar resections). Samples had a median of 2 coding mutations in the genes analyzed (range, 0-29). The most common mutations were in PIK3CA (n = 9; 35%), ERBB2 (4 mutations and 3 copy number alterations; 27%), and TP53 (n = 7; 27%). MSIscore was available for 23 samples; all were microsatellite stable. After tumor genomic profiling, a patient who was initially treated with multiple resections and imiquimod was found to have a PIK3CA p.E542K mutation. She underwent PI3K-inhibitor treatment for 18 months before disease progression. CONCLUSION EMPD of the vulva has a chronic and relapsing course, often requiring multiple surgical resections. Effective topical treatments are lacking. We identified targetable mutations ( PIK3CA or ERBB2) in > 25% of a real-world clinical cohort. Additional prospective research implementing targetable therapies for EMPD treatment is warranted.

Objective: To clarify the surgical indications and the appropriate perioperative management of ischial pressure ulcers (PUs). Method: A two-year prospective, nationwide registry study was carried out across 26 medical institutions in Japan. All participating institutions managed ischial PUs according to the standardisation of total management and surgical application for the refractory decubitus (STANDARDS-I) perioperative protocol. Analysis was conducted on a range of clinically or statistically important variables for the achievement of primary or secondary endpoints: complete wound healing and hospital discharge at three months, and complete wound healing at one month after surgery, respectively. Results: A total of 59 patients took part in the study. All patients underwent surgery for ischial PUs during the study period. Patients who had achieved the primary endpoint had a higer preoperative functional independence measurement (FIM score), a higher ‘G’ score in the DESIGN-R scale and were more likely to have healed by primary intention. Patients who had achieved the secondary endpoint were more likely to have spastic paralysis, preoperative physiotherapy and localised infection of the wound, among other variables. Conclusion: This survey suggests that preoperative physiotherapy increases the speed of wound healing, and good granulation of the wound bed preoperatively increases the likelihood of woundless discharge from hospital, whereas the existence of comorbidities negatively influences the likelihood of woundless discharge from hospital. The study also suggests that the existence of spastic paralysis, preoperative infection of the wound, or surgical reduction of the ischial tubercle speeds up the healing of the wound. However, the wound failed to heal significantly more often in patients with increasing white blood cell count after surgery.

A produção científica de uma área de conhecimento ou sobre uma temática específica é condição sine qua non para fortalecer e ampliar os resultados das pesquisas desenvolvidas. Da mesma forma que produzir é importante, também é preciso adotar estratégias para medir essa produção, considerando diferentes aspectos e variáveis, incumbência essa atribuída ao campo da Ciência da Informação, por meio de técnicas bibliométricas. Mesmo que os estudos bibliométricos sejam importantes, muitas temáticas recentes carecem de estudos que quantifiquem os aspectos inerentes à produção científica da temática, como acontece com a Educação a Distância. Portanto, questiona-se com que frequência esse tema tem sido abordado na literatura nacional, na área da educação, no decorrer dos tempos. Este estudo objetiva apresentar uma análise quantitativa da produção científica em Educação a Distância no Brasil, publicada em artigos científicos nos periódicos nacionais da área de Educação. Para tanto, apresenta os fundamentos teóricos e conceituais da Ciência da Informação e suas relações com a Bibliometria e alguns fundamentos históricos da Educação a Distância; identifica os periódicos classificados nos estratos A1, A2 e B1; e, por fim, analisa a distribuição das publicações, considerando a evolução temporal dos artigos, a frequência de artigos por número de revista e o número de artigos, considerando o Qualis Periódicos. Metodologicamente, a pesquisa se caracteriza como descritiva, com procedimentos de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental e utiliza técnicas bibliométricas. Os resultados indicaram uma amostra de 206 artigos, distribuídos entre 95 periódicos. Percebeu-se uma tendência de crescimento da produção científica sobre Educação a Distância, com acentuada elevação no período de 2006 a 2011. Esse crescimento está relacionado à criação das políticas públicas e planos governamentais em prol dessa modalidade de educação no Brasil. Portanto, concluiu-se que os fatos históricos e os investimentos relativos à Educação a Distância são fatores que interferiram na produção científica sobre esse tema na área da Educação.

INTRODUCTION:
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver condition worldwide. A weight loss goal of ≥10% is the recommended treatment for NAFLD; however, only a minority of patients achieve this level of weight reduction with standard dietary approaches. This study aimed to determine whether a very low calorie diet (VLCD) is an acceptable and feasible therapy to achieve and maintain a ≥10% weight loss in patients with clinically significant NAFLD.

METHODS:
Patients with clinically significant NAFLD were recruited to a VLCD (∼800 kcal/d) intervention using meal replacement products. Anthropometrics, blood tests (liver and metabolic), liver stiffness, and cardiovascular disease risk were measured at baseline, post-VLCD, and at 9-month follow-up.

RESULTS:
A total of 45 patients were approached of which 30 were enrolled 27 (90%) completed the VLCD intervention, and 20 (67%) were retained at 9-month follow-up. The VLCD was acceptable to patients and feasible to deliver. Intention-to-treat analysis found that 34% of patients achieved and sustained ≥10% weight loss, 51% achieved ≥7% weight loss, and 68% achieved ≥5% weight loss at 9-month follow-up. For those completing the VLCD, liver health (liver enzymes and liver stiffness), cardiovascular disease risk (blood pressure and QRISK2), metabolic health (fasting glucose, HbA1c, and insulin), and body composition significantly improved post-VLCD and was maintained at 9 months.

DISCUSSION:
VLCD offers a feasible treatment option for some patients with NAFLD to enable a sustainable ≥10%, weight loss, which can improve liver health, cardiovascular risk, and quality of life in those completing the intervention.

Aim. The study aims to reveal objective psychophysiological indicators that are related to flow state. Materials and methods. Thirty-one (31) athletes of different competitive levels (20 females and 11 males, mean age 19.1 ± 4.59 years) participated in the study. The dynavision D2 training device was applied for creating optimal flow state conditions during the experiment. Physiological indicators were recorded by the Thought Technology hardware and software system. Heart rate variability, respiration rate (thoracic and abdominal), finger temperature, skin conductance were analyzed. Flow state depth was estimated based on the participants’ answers during the semi-structured interview that followed the experiment. Results. According to the results of the interview, all athletes were divided into two groups: the first group included athletes experiencing flow state (“flow” group), the second group composed of athletes who did not manage to experience flow state (“no-flow” group). When comparing these two groups after the experiment, it was revealed that the first group had higher levels of standard deviations of heart rate compared with the second group. In the first group (flow), the following indicators were significantly higher after the experiment: standard deviation of the RR-intervals (SDRR), skin conductance, and finger temperature. In the second group (no-flow), only skin conductance increased significantly. Conclusion. The results allow us to conclude that the flow state is characterized by a marked increase in the sympathetic nervous system (a higher level of stress compared to the same activity without flow).

Aim. University students represent a specific group of young people in the final phase of biological, social and professional maturing and, at the same time, they are finishing their education and preparing themselves for long life obligations and period of living as an adult. The aim of this study was to determine the quantitative characteristics, descriptive models and prevalence of the body structure of the female students of the University of Belgrade. Material and Methods. The sample consisted of 862 female students of the University of Belgrade (26 Faculties) from all study programs (from bachelor to PhD). The average age of students was: 22.2 ± 2.6 years. The whole sample was divided into eight BMI sub-classes according to WHO standards. All measurements were performed in the period 2014–2018 and were conducted according to the standardized procedure, using the InBody 720 measurement system. Results. Based on the results of the BMI prevalence, it can be argued that 6.85 % of female students are underweight, 80.14 % has normal BMI value, 9.64 % are overweight and only 3.13 % of the students are obese. Considering percent of body fat (PBF) as a criteria of nutritional status, 0.5 % of female students had PBF under the essential biological level (below the 10.0 % limit), 1.9 % had PBF at an essential level, 19.4 % had PBF at the level of athletes, 33.3 % had fitness level of PBF, 29.4 % had normal body fat level, and the percent of the sample in the obese category was as high as 15.6 %. Results of ANOVA Regression have shown that trend of body fat changes per kg·m–2 of BMI was between 1.5496 and 1.5181 % depending on the regression model, with a standard error of estimation value of 4.59 % of body fat. Conclusion. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the morphological status of the female students of the University of Belgrade is at the level of persons with normal BMI, but with twice as big prevalence of underweight (6.85 %), i.e. malnutrition, than obesity (3.13 %), i.e. overnutrition.
Obsah a cíl výuky psychologie z pohledu studentů učitelských oborů

Published: September 2020

Článek je zaměřený na cíle výuky psychologie pro učitelské obory ve vztahu k obsahu výuky. Na tuto problematiku kurikula se díváme skrze výpovědi studentů, kteří absolvovali výuku psychologie na dvou pedagogických fakultách: jedné v České republice a jedné na Slovensku. Z hlediska obecně formulovaných cílů výuky psychologie – funkční psychologické gramotnosti – článek nabízí kritický pohled na aplikační rovinu výuky psychologie, kterou studenti kladně hodnotí a vyžadují, ale se kterou mohou být spojené dva obecné stereotypy vnímání psychologie: (1) věda, která dává rady, návody, tj. „kuchařky“, (2) a umožňuje „testovat“ a poskytuje „testy“.
Uvedené stereotypy vnímání psychologie totiž stojí na opačném pólu od funkční psychologické gramotnosti. Identifikaci těchto kritických oblastí cílů výuky psychologie spojených s aplikační rovinou by měla být věnovaná pozornost napříč formami kurikula. Navrhovaným východiskem je rozvoj kritického a psychologického myšlení ve výuce psychologie.
Klíčová slova: funkční psychologická gramotnost, představy studentů, postoje studentů, výuka psychologie, stereotypy ve výuce, kurikulum.

AbstractThis study aims to compare the quality of fat extracted from different priced dry pet food for adult cats through classical and instrumental methods: pressure differential scanning calorimetry (PDSC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) or gas chromatography (GC). Fat extracted from pet food was examined for induction time (IT), fatty acid composition, free fatty acid (FFA) content and peroxide value with the use of PDSC, GC, acid–base and iodometric titration, respectively. FT-IR data from the selected spectral regions correlate with the value of oxidation IT or the content of FFA. This resulted in construction of a reference model for IT with the following statistical features: Rcalibration = 0.917 (RMSEC = 28.0) and Rvalidation = 0.841 (RMSEP = 34.6). For fatty acid content, model statistics were as follows: Rcalibration = 0.912 (RMSEC = 0.61) and Rvalidation = 0.856 (RMSEP = 0.75). Discriminant model that uses spectral data alone, calculated with performance index 83.7 allowed distinguishing the studied pet food samples due to the price. Studies conducted proved PDSC and IR as reliable analytical techniques to control and monitor the quality of dry pet food for cats. Considering quality of the studied samples, it was proved that low-priced pet foods can be stored longer than premium-priced ones, while former is nutritionally more beneficial for adult cats.
