Authors: Gružauskas Valentas , Kriščiūnas Andrius , Čalnerytė Dalia , Navickas Valentinas 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
Real estate valuation uses 3 main approaches: income, cost and comparative. When applying the comparative method, correction coefficients based on similar real estate transactions are determined. In practice, the coefficients and similar real estate objects are usually determined by using qualitative approach based on the valuators’ experience. The paper provides an analytical method for the determination of correction coefficient, which limits subjectivity when using the comparative method for valuation. The provided analytical approach also integrates macroeconomic indicators in the calculation process. It also addresses issues when available historical real estate transaction data is limited. A machine learning approach was applied to determine the average price of real estate in the region, with the possibility of using this information to obtain correction coefficients where historical data was unavailable. Alternative research usually focuses on final price estimation of the selected real estate object; however, the valuation standard of Tegova released in 2018 does not allow for applying analytically based approaches for individual real estate object evaluation; these approaches can be used only as a supportive tool for valuators.

Published: June 2020

Abstract
The Act of 21 August 1997 on Real Estate Management imposes on district governors within the management of the Treasury-owned real estates, as well as the commune head, the mayor or city mayor – in the case of the real estate resources of the commune, poviat management - to the poviat real estate resource and voivodship board, in relation to the provincial real estate resource – the obligation to undertake actions in court proceedings, particularly in cases concerning ownership or other property rights. In addition, it obliges them to submit applications for the establishment of a land register and for its updating.
In practice, there are numerous cases of negligence in the registration of such properties, in the updating of their designation and demonstration of rights that affect the legal status. For the purpose of this publication, examples of legal-surveying documentation were analyzed to indicate the most common problems encountered in Poland in the regulation process of the legal status of properties, and the typical content of maps for legal purposes was systematized. In addition, selected approaches used in the area of the registration of rights to properties in other countries of the world were indicated.
When All Comes Crumbling Down
Authors: Lundberg Anders Per 
Published: June 2020

Based on ethnographic research in a local RCCG congregation, the Jesus House in Midtown, Sweden, this article focuses on the meaning of pastorship to its founding pastor, John, and on the nature of the relationship between John and his congregation. Results show that to John, pastorship means hard work but also an opportunity for social mobility. As he founded the Jesus House, John took on considerable financial risk, realistically turning him into a church-owner. Furthermore, the relationship between pastor and congregation implies a contract where John is expected to protect his congregants from illness and death. As a congregant dies, a crisis hits and the congregation starts to break apart. In order to save his congregation, John first appeals to his own spiritual powers, but then resorts to pleading to the structures of plausibility within the congregation. As the paper argues, this shows the importance of both cognitive and relational aspects of meaning-making.

Localizing Ground-Motion Models in Volcanic Terranes: Shallow Events at Mt. Etna, Italy, Revisited
Authors: Tusa Giuseppina , Langer Horst , Azzaro Raffaele 
Published: June 2020

ABSTRACTWe present a set of revised ground-motion models (GMMs) for shallow events at Mt. Etna Volcano. The recent occurrence of damaging events, in particular two of the strongest earthquakes ever instrumentally recorded in the area, has required revising previous GMMs, as these failed to match the observations made for events with local magnitude ML&gt;4.3, above all for sites situated close to the epicenter. The dataset now includes 49 seismic events, with a total of 1600 time histories recorded at distances of up to 100 km, and ML ranging from 3.0 to 4.8. The model gives estimates of peak ground acceleration (both horizontal and vertical), peak ground velocity (both horizontal and vertical), and 5% damped horizontal pseudoacceleration response spectral ordinates up to a period of 4 s. GMMs were developed using the functional form proposed by Boore and Atkinson (2008). Furthermore, with a slightly modified approach, we also considered a regression model using a pseudodepth (h) depending on magnitude according to the scaling law by Azzaro et al. (2017). Both models were applied to hypocentral distance ranges of up to 60 km and up to 100 km, respectively. From the statistical analysis, we found that reducing the maximum distance from the event up to 60 km and introducing a magnitude-dependent pseudodepth improved the model in terms of total error. We compared our results with those derived using the GMMs for shallow events at Mt. Etna found by Tusa and Langer (2016) and for volcanic areas by Lanzano and Luzi (2019). The main differences are observed at short epicentral distances and for higher magnitude events. The use of variable pseudodepth avoids sharp peaks of predicted ground-motion parameters around the epicenter, preventing instabilities when using a GMM in probabilistic seismic hazard analysis.
Weighted Template-Matching Algorithm (WTMA) for Improved Foreshock Detection of the 2019 Ridgecrest Earthquake Sequence
Authors: Lee En-Jui , Mu Dawei , Wang Wei , Chen Po 
Published: June 2020

ABSTRACT
The template-matching algorithm (TMA) has become an important tool for detecting small and/or unconventional earthquakes, and newly detected seismic events have improved our understanding of earthquake physics, regional tectonics, and geological hazards. Standard TMA-based detection methods do not take into account the fact that the template waveforms themselves are contaminated with noise. In this study, we propose a weighted template-matching algorithm (WTMA), in which the normalized cross-correlation time series are weighted according to the signal-to-noise ratios of the corresponding template waveforms before they are being stacked for event picking. We present results from an extensive collection of numerical experiments to demonstrate that WTMA is capable of improving the detection rate of small to tiny (e.g., ML&lt;0.0) earthquakes while reducing the computational cost associated with the standard TMA-based detection methods. The application of our WTMA to the continuous waveform recordings before the Mw 6.4 earthquake in the 2019 Ridgecrest sequence allowed us to discover ∼200 foreshocks, a larger number than the ∼150 foreshocks detected using the standard TMA, and significantly larger than the 17 foreshocks documented in the Southern California Seismic Network (SCSN) catalog. Relocated hypocenters of the foreshocks suggest a complex faulting pattern that is consistent with the hierarchical interlocked orthogonal faulting that characterized the main Ridgecrest sequence. Magnitudes of the foreshocks obtained through careful waveform amplitude calibration provided a more robust estimate of the magnitude–frequency distribution, which reduced the minimum magnitude threshold and increased the b-value, as compared with those obtained from the SCSN catalog.

Published: June 2020

Background: Rarity of rare bleeding disorders (RBDs) is attributed to very low incidence based on ethnicity, distribution and complexity of diagnostic tools. There is scarcity of data on RBDs from Eastern India. This study aims to understand the distribution of RBDs in this region for better patient care.Methods: Retrospective study conducted on patients presented with symptoms/signs of bleeding from January 2018 to December 2019 (two years). Patients having bleeding manifestations from causes other than inherited coagulation disorders, IPDs, and vWD were included. Complete haemogram, peripheral blood smear, coagulation tests, vWD assay and platelet function tests were carried out.Results: Out of 2415 patients, 1570 were included after exclusion of other diseases. Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) and Hemophilia being excluded, 40/1570 (2.5%) patients were found to have RBDs. Median age was 11.6 years (range, 1.25-40 years). Most common was IPDs (2.9%, n=19); Glanzmann thrombasthenia was commonest (1.5%, n=10). vWD was second (1.7%, n=11) in occurrence; vWD type-III was the commonest subtype (0.9%, n=6). ICDs comprised 1.5% (n=10) of all patients; congenital afibrinogenemia (0.6%, n=4) was most common. Other ICDs prevalent in this cohort included FVII, FV, FX and FXIII deficiencies. Most common presentations were ecchymoses or prolonged bleeding from cut injuries or menorrhagia.Conclusions: RBDs may present in varied ways and are often difficult to diagnose correctly. Distribution of RBDs in this patient cohort differs from published literature from Western studies.

Background: Imported cases of malarial vivax also induce erythrocyte enlargement. The size of enlargement depend on the size of the parasite inside the cells. The aim of the study was to examine 20 slides of positive malaria vivax and seek for erythrocyte infected malaria and measure the size of enlarged cells and its shape. As a comparison, a number of normal erythrocyte also evaluated for its size and shape.Methods: This simple cross sectional design of microscope based study was conducted in Parasitology lab, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Kristen Indonesia, Jakarta-Indonesia, from January to June of 2019. All data collected and further processed using SPSS™.Results: A total number of 982 erythrocyte infected with P. vivax were examined individually. Those number consist of 243 immature trophozoite, 231 mature trophozoite, 251 micro-gametocyte, and 257 macrogametocyte. As a comparison also being examined 70 normal erythrocyte. Each erythrocyte infected with malaria vivax parasite enlarge to some extent, had irregular shape and the size varied based on the stage of the parasite inside the cells.Discussion: This enlarged erythrocyte is prone to cell sequestration and lysis, a condition that leads to anemia. Anemia affect not just the host but also the community. Proper management of malaria will reduce the burden to the community.Conclusions: Enlarged infected erythrocyte due to malaria vivax can cause anemia with effect to the host and also to the community.

Qualitative and Quantitative Evaluation of Active Constituents in Callus of Lavandula angustifolia plant in Vitro
Authors: Salman et al. Zainab 
Published: June 2020

This study was conducted to describe a protocol for the callus establishing culture of Lavandula angustifolia plant and estimating their content of volatile oil. The quantity of volatile oil callus tissues was compared with that of leaves production. Callus was induced from leaf explants on Murashige and Skoog medium (MS) supplemented with Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and Benzyl adenine (BA) in different concentrations. Maximum callus fresh weight was obtained in the combination of 10 mg/L BA and 3 mg/L NAA which reached 18 g after four weeks. The results of this work showed that the quantity of volatile oil from the highest fresh weight callus was 6 ml compared with quantity of 18g of leaves which gave 0.5 ml. Volatile oil of leaf and callus extracts were analyzed using gas chromatography mass spectrometry method (GC-MS) which showed linoleic acid (56.61%) and oleic acid (57.93%) as main components.
The Oral Microbiome and Salivary Proteins Influence Caries in Children aged 6 to 8 years

Published: June 2020

Abstract
Background: Oral microbiome and salivary proteins play a critical role in the occurrence and development of caries. In this study, we used metagenomic and metaproteomic analyses to explore the microbiological and proteinic biomarkers and investigate the etiology of caries in 6-8 years old children. Our study aims to offer a better comprehension of these factors and the relationship with caries, and these findings might facilitate caries risk assessment and provide a basis for future prevention strategies.Methods: Children six to eight years old living in rural isolated areas including 40 caries-active subjects and 40 caries-free subjects were recruited. Supragingival plaque and unstimulated saliva were collected for 16S rDNA pyrosequencing and isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) technique coupled with quantitative nano-flow liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS), respectively. Results: We found 6 phyla and 13 genera predominant in all the samples, and differences in relative abundances can be observed. The Alpha diversity analysis demonstrated that the richness and diversity of the bacterial communities were similar between children with caries-free and caries-active groups; LEfSe detected differences in the bacterial community including Dialister, Selenomonas, Actinomyces, and Mogibacterium in the caries-active group (P<0.05) and Capnocytophaga, Fusobacterium, Desulfuromonadales, Haemophilus, and Porphyromonas in the caries-free group(P<0.05). The core microbiome was defined as 18 predominant genera in children with caries. The results of the salivary proteome identified 9135 unique peptides and 1662 proteins group from 20 salivary samples. Two hundred fifty-eight proteins were differentially expressed between the caries-free and caries-active groups.Conclusions: The diversity of the microbial community has little effect on caries but some bacteria with different relative abundance between the caries-active and caries-free group could be considered as potential biomarkers for children with caries. In addition, as a critical host factor of caries, the salivary proteins are different in caries-free and caries-active groups.

Abstract
Background: Many studies have found that use of aspirin can lengthen survival in patients with gastrointestinal cancer. The aim of this study was to assess the survival benefit of aspirin use compared with non-aspirin use for patients with esophageal, gastric or colorectal cancer. Methods : We searched online databases, including PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Embase and www.clinicaltrials.gov for studies that were conducted,, before April 30th, 2020, to identify relevant studies. Overall survival and cancer-specific survival of esophageal, gastric and colorectal cancers among aspirin users were compared with those among non-aspirin users. Data extraction and quality evaluation were independently conducted by 2 investigators. A meta-analysis was performed to calculate the pooled risk ratios (RRs) for overall survival and cancer-specific survival by using either a fixed-effects model or a random-effects model. Results : A total of 18 studies were included in this meta-analysis, with more than 74,936 patients. There were no significant differences between postdiagnosis aspirin use and overall survival for esophageal and gastric cancers. For colorectal cancer, a benefit that was associated with postdiagnosis aspirin use was observed for overall survival and cancer-specific survival [HR= 0.83, 95%CI(0.75, 0.9.);HR= 0.78, 95%CI(0.66, 0.92), respectively. However, a prediagnosis of aspirin use did not provide a benefit for overall or cancer-specific survival in colorectal cancer. HR values for overall and cancer-specific survival benefits for colorectal cancer associated with both prediagnosis and postdiagnosis aspirin were as follows: HR=0.75，95%CI(0.61, 0.92) and HR=0.78, 95%CI(0.73, 0.85), respectively. In addition, the survival benefit of postdiagnosis aspirin use appeared to be confined to patients with mutated PIK3CA tumors [HR= 0.78, 95%CI(0.50, 0.99)] and was positive for PTGS2 (COX-2) expression [HR= 0.75, 95%CI(0.43, 1.30)]. Conclusions: These findings provide further indications that postdiagnosis aspirin use improves overall survival and cancer-specific survival in colorectal cancer, especially for patients who are positive for PTGS2 (COX-2) expression and PIK3CA-mutated tumors. However, aspirin therapy does not improve overall survival in esophageal and gastric cancers, although the meta-analysis was mainly limited to retrospective studies.
