Authors: Kooijman Margit K. , Swinkels Ilse C. S. , Koes Bart W. , de Bakker Dinny , Veenhof Cindy 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
Background
The first aim of this research was to investigate the current prevalence of musculoskeletal ultrasound in Dutch physiotherapy practices. The second aim was to explore experiences of physiotherapists with musculoskeletal ultrasound in a primary care setting with patients presenting with shoulder complaints.

Methods
A random sample of 1000 owners of primary care physiotherapy practices was sent a questionnaire to investigate the prevalence of musculoskeletal ultrasound. A second questionnaire was sent to physiotherapists using musculoskeletal ultrasound to explore experiences with it in patients with shoulder complaints.

Results
The net response rate of the first questionnaire was 57.7%. In 18% of the physiotherapy practices musculoskeletal ultrasound was offered. Sixty-nine physiotherapists returned the second questionnaire. Physiotherapists indicated they most often used musculoskeletal ultrasound in patients with shoulder complaints, mainly for suspected tissue damage (83.7%), followed by making a diagnosis (63.3%) and for determining the choice of treatment (36.7%). Physiotherapists reported the biggest advantage was that they were better able to diagnose presenting shoulder complaints. The most frequently mentioned disadvantage of the use of musculoskeletal ultrasound was that assessment is difficult and that there is a risk that findings may not be sufficiently linked to history and physical examination.

Conclusion
One in six physiotherapy practices in the Netherlands offer musculoskeletal ultrasound. It is mainly used for patients with shoulder complaints, with an emphasis on detecting tissue damage and as an aid for diagnosis. Physiotherapists trained to work with musculoskeletal ultrasound seem enthusiastic and are at the same time aware of its disadvantages.

Abstract
Background
Despite great progress in surgery and other treatments, the prognosis of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is still very poor. HER2 has strong therapeutic implications in certain cancers, such as breast cancer and gastric cancer. However, literature on the frequency of HER2 expression in ESCC is scarce. In the present study, HER2 protein expression, HER2 gene amplification and the relationship between HER2 status and clinicopathological characteristics were evaluated in a large cohort of Chinese ESCC patients.

Methods
A total of 857 consecutive ESCC patients who received radical esophagectomy without neoadjuvant therapy between January 2014 and October 2015 were included in this retrospective study. HER2 protein expression was analyzed by immunohistochemistry (IHC), and its correlation with clinicopathological parameters was assessed. In addition, 65 cases, including 13 HER2 overexpression (3+) cases and 52 HER2 equivocal (2+) cases from the 857-case cohort, and another 104 ESCC cases, including 1 HER2 overexpression (3+) case, 3 HER2 equivocal (2+) cases and 100 HER2 negative (1+/0) cases, were selected to construct tissue microarrays (TMAs). Dual-color in situ hybridization (DISH) was performed on the TMAs to assess HER2 gene amplification and the relationship with clinicopathological parameters.

Results
We found HER2 overexpression (3+) status in 1.5% (13/857) of cases and HER2 equivocal (2+) status in 6.1% (52/857) of cases. HER2 IHC expression was significantly associated with gender (P = 0.028). However, there were no significant correlations between HER2 IHC expression and age, tumor differentiation, pT stage, pN stage, pM stage and pTNM stage (P > 0.05). Regarding the 169 cases analyzed by DISH, 14 (of 14, 100%) HER2 overexpression (3+) cases, 10 (of 55, 18.2%) HER2 equivocal (2+) cases, and 0 (of 100, 0%) HER2 negative (1+/0) cases showed HER2 gene amplification. HER2 gene amplification was not significantly associated with clinicopathological characteristics such as age, gender, tumor differentiation, pT stage, pN stage, pM stage and pTNM stage (P > 0.05).

Conclusions
Approximately 1.5% of the Chinese ESCC patients had HER2 overexpression based on IHC. IHC and DISH had a high concordance rate. These results provide valuable insight for the future treatment of ESCC.

AbstractThe aim of this article is to consider the semi-linear fractional system with Sobolev exponents $q = \frac{{n + \alpha}}{{n - \beta}}$q=n+αn−β and $p = \frac{{n + \beta}}{{n - \alpha}}$p=n+βn−α ($\alpha \ne\beta$α≠β): $$\left \{ \textstyle\begin{array}{l} {( - \Delta)^{\alpha/2}}u(x) = k(x){v^{q}}(x) + f(v(x)),\\ {( - \Delta)^{\beta/2}}v(x) = j(x){u^{p}}(x) + g(u(x)), \end{array}\displaystyle \right . $${(−Δ)α/2u(x)=k(x)vq(x)+f(v(x)),(−Δ)β/2v(x)=j(x)up(x)+g(u(x)), where $0 < \alpha, \beta < 2$0<α,β<2. We first establish two maximum principles for narrow regions in the ball and out of the ball by the iteration technique, respectively. Based on these principles, we use the direct method of moving spheres to prove the non-existence of positive solutions to the above system in the whole space and bounded star-shaped domain. As a consequence, the monotonic decreasing properties of $W(x) = { \vert x \vert ^{\frac{{n - \alpha}}{2}}}u(x)$W(x)=|x|n−α2u(x) and ${W_{1}}(x) = { \vert x \vert ^{\frac{{n - \beta}}{2}}}v(x)$W1(x)=|x|n−β2v(x) along the radial direction in the whole space are obtained.
Automated Detection of Surface Cracks and Numerical Correlation with Thermal-Structural Behaviors of Fire Damaged Concrete Beams

Published: March 2020

AbstractThere are two specific aims in this study; first is to develop and validate an automated crack detection technique for the fire damaged beam. Second is to investigate whether the detected crack information and thermal-structural behaviors can be numerically related. To fulfill the aims, fire tests and residual strength tests are conducted on RC beams having different fire exposure time periods and sustained load levels. To detect the automated cracks, surface images of the fire damaged beam surfaces are taken with digital cameras and an automatic crack detection method is developed using a convolutional neural network (CNN) which is a deep learning technique primarily used for analyzing intricate structures of high-dimensional data [such as high definition (HD) images and videos]. The quantity of cracks detected using the proposed CNN changes depending on the test variables, and the changing trends are similar to those of the crack lengths obtained from the optical observation. Additionally, it is found that the quantity of the automatically detected cracks is numerically related to the temperatures inside the beams as well as the stiffnesses obtained from the residual strength tests.

Abstract
Objective
To investigate the effect and safety of ketogenic diet (KD) for the treatment of paediatric patients with super-refractory status epilepticus (SRSE) in febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES).

Method
From January 1, 2015 to October 31, 2017, ten critically ill paediatric patients with SRSE in FIRES were included in this study and treated with KD. The treatment effects of KD were evaluated by using continuous encephalography (CEEG) and amplitude-integrated electro-encephalography (aEEG).

Results
All 10 patients fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of SRSE in FIRES and achieved ketosis within 24–72 h following the administration of KD. CEEG and aEEG were monitored for several weeks to assess the efficacy of KD on status epilepticus (SE). SE was contained in 8 patients within 2 to 19 days after initiation of KD, and KD was discontinued in the other 2 patients. One of the 10 patients demonstrated severe adverse effects.

Conclusion
KD may be an alternative and safe treatment option in critical paediatric patients with SRSE in FIRES.
Graphene hybrid waveguide stimulation using a photoconductive terahertz generator
Authors: Fakhar Bahareh Hosseini , Ghazialsharif Mohammad , Abrishamian Mohammad Sadegh 
Published: March 2020

Typically, terahertz (THz) surface plasmon polariton (SPP) excitation involves phase-matching engineering and THz plane-wave generation. This requires antennas, lenses, and other optical phase-matching devices. Herein, we demonstrate a novel, to the best of our knowledge, method to excite THz SPPs in graphene directly by using an 800 nm optical pump and a photoconductive source. We miniaturize the SPP excitation setup by eliminating the plane-wave generator and the need for mode matching between the plane wave and the waveguide, thereby improving the power efficiency of THz SPP excitation; an average SPP power of 0.6 mW is obtained for an optical pump power of 25 mW.

Authors: Fitrawaty Fitrawaty 
Published: March 2020

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bagaimana interdependensi instrument kebijakan moneter dengan pengangguran di Indonesia selama periode tahun 2000 – 2011. Data yang digunakan adalah data time series yang diperoleh dari Bank Indonesia, Biro Pusat Statistik dan institusi lainnya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Vector Auturegression (VAR) dilanjutkan dengan Struktural Vector Auturegression (SVAR). Berdasarkan hasil interpretasi VAR dan SVAR, secara khusus diperoleh bahwa keterkaitan antara instrumen moneter dengan pengangguran (UNEMP) memiliki arah yang berbeda. Variabel operasi pasar terbuka (OPT), tingkat suku bunga diskonto (rDiskonto), dan tingkat bunga domestik (rDom), mempunyai arah yang negatif terhadap variabel pengangguran, sedangkan variabel giro wajib minimum (GWM), nilai tukar (EXC) mempunyai arah yang positif. Keseluruahan instrumen moneter secara parsial berpengaruh tidak signifikan terhadap UNEMP. Begitu juga setelah dilakukan shock dengan menaikkan OPT sebesar 5% pada tahun 2010, diperoleh bahwa variabel OPT, GWM, rDiskonto, rDOM, EXC, juga tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap pengangguran.
This study is intended to analyze the correlation of monetary policy instruments with unemployment in Indonesia during the period 2000 - 2011. The data used are time series data obtained from Bank of Indonesia, the Central Statistics Bureau and other institutions. This study uses Vector Auto regression (VAR) method followed by Structural Vector Auto regression (SVAR). Based on the results of the interpretation of VAR and SVAR, it was found that the relationship between monetary instruments with unemployment (UNEMP) had different directions. Open market operations variable (OMO), discounted interest rates variable(discount), and domestic interest rates variable (FDOM), have a negative correlation to the unemployment variable, while the statutory reserve requirement (GWM), exchange rate (EXC) variables have a positive correlation. The partiality of monetary instruments has no significant effect on UNEMP. Likewise, after the shock of increasing OPT by 5% in 2010, it was found that the OMO variable, GWM, discount, FDOM, and EXC, also had no significant effects on unemployment.
