Authors: Yuan Chen , Hu Zhigang , Wang Kai , Zou Shubing 
Published: May 2021

Background: This study aims to establish an effective nomogram to predict the overall survival of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC).Patients and Methods: Data used to build the nomogram comes from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Patients diagnosed with ICC between 2005 and 2016 were retrospectively collected. Prediction accuracy and discrimination ability of the nomogram was evaluated by concordance index (C-index) and calibration curve. The area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to compare the precision of the 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival of the nomogram with 8th American Joint Commission on Cancer (AJCC) tumor–node–metastasis (TNM) staging system. Finally, it was verified in a prospective study of patients diagnosed with ICC in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from 2013 to 2020 by bootstrap resampling.Result: The study contains two parts of data; we establish a nomogram using external data, and we conducted internal verification and external verification. The nomogram that we have established has good calibration, with a concordance index (C-index) of 0.75 (95% CI, 0.74–0.76) for overall survival (OS) prediction. The AUC value of the nomogram predicting 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS rates were 0.821, 0.828, and 0.836, which were higher than those of the 8th AJCC TNM staging systems. The calibration curve for the probability of survival between prediction by nomogram and actual observation shows good agreement. The nomogram showed better accuracy than the 8th edition AJCC TNM staging.Conclusion: The nomogram established can provide a more accurate prognosis for patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

Published: May 2021

Detecting and monitoring exotic and invasive Coleoptera is a complex activity to implement, and citizen science projects can provide significant contributions to such plans. Bottle traps are successfully used in wildlife surveys and can also be adapted for monitoring alien species; however, a sustainable, large scale trapping plan must take into account the collateral catches of native species and thus minimize its impact on local fauna. In the present paper, we tested the use of bottles baited with standard food products that can be purchased in every supermarket and immediately used (apple cider vinegar, red wine, and 80% ethyl alcohol) in capturing exotic and invasive beetles in the area surrounding Malpensa Airport (Italy). In particular, we reduced the exposition type of the traps in each sampling round to three days in order to minimize native species collecting. We found a significant effect of the environmental covariates (trap placement, temperature, humidity, and forest type) in affecting the efficiency in catching target beetles. Nearly all invasive Nitidulidae and Scarabaeidae known to be present in the area were captured in the traps, with apple cider vinegar usually being the most effective attractant, especially for the invasive Popillia japonica.

As parasitoses intestinais se configuram como um grave problema de saúde pública, sendo frequentes em populações que se encontram em condições de vulnerabilidade como crianças em idade escolar e pré-escolar, principalmente em áreas carentes de saneamento básico. A presença de parasitas intestinais pode gerar quadros desde assintomáticos a diarreicos com presença de cólicas, colites e desnutrição. Apesar de sua magnitude, são doenças negligenciadas pelo poder público, sendo que a realização de estudos locais é de grande relevância por fornecerem subsídios para as tomadas de decisões públicas. Objetivos: Analisar a prevalência e a etiologia das parasitoses intestinais, relacionando com os fatores de risco socioambientais, econômicos e com o estado nutricional de crianças frequentadoras de uma creche pública localizada no Oeste da Bahia. Metodologia: Procedeu-se a um estudo de corte transversal envolvendo 29 crianças de 0 a 4 anos de idade, com realização do exame coproparasitológico em laboratório vinculado à Secretaria Municipal de Saúde; parceria firmada previamente. Foi realizada uma entrevista semi-estruturada aos familiares das crianças abordando os fatores de risco socioambientais e econômicos, as características demográficas e os hábitos de saúde das crianças, e para avaliação nutricional foram realizadas as medidas antropométricas das crianças. Seguiu-se à tabulação e análise dos resultados, sendo que o estudo se iniciou após aprovação pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da Universidade Federal do Oeste da Bahia. Resultados e Conclusão: Verificou-se uma prevalência significante de parasitoses intestinais (37,9%), sendo que Giardia lamblia (41,2%), Entamoeba coli (23,5%) e Entamoeba histolytica (17,6%) foram os parasitos mais frequentemente encontrados. A ausência de saneamento básico (72,2%); sem fornecimento de água potável e sem coleta e tratamento de esgoto; e a presença de hábitos como não realizar visitas pediátricas (58,3%) e andar descalços (61,1%), assim como o predomínio (83,3%) de uma renda domiciliar inferior a um salário mínimo foram os fatores de risco significantes encontrados associados ao desenvolvimento de parasitoses intestinais entre as crianças. Com relação ao estado nutricional, a maioria das crianças parasitadas (72,7%) apresentou-se eutróficas, 18,2% delas apresentaram sobrepeso, sendo que encontramos 6,2% das crianças não parasitadas com baixo peso. A taxa significante de prevalência das parasitoses intestinais, a alta frequência de giardíase; parasita patogênico e de veiculação hídrica; e a análise dos fatores de risco refletiram a necessidade da implantação de políticas públicas que visem a melhoria das condições de saúde, econômicas e de infraestrutura, alicerçadas no saneamento básico, no fortalecimento da economia e da educação em saúde na região.

Los movimientos terroristas ante el nuevo orden mundial de la información
Authors: Ripoll Molines Fernando 
Published: May 2021

El acceso a los medios de comunicación ha permitido conocer y vivir situaciones de violencia, que sin pertenecer necesariamente a nuestro entorno social o geográfico, se han relacionado con reivindicaciones sociales, nacionalistas o religiosas. Sin embargo no es un fenómeno reciente, aunque la inmediatez de dichos medios nos haga pensar lo contrario. Todo esto hace que dicha forma de reivindicación despierte el interés de analistas políticos, sociólogos, psicólogos, etc. en cuanto que dichos actos son llevados a cabo por grupos humanos que pueden pertenecer a similares ideologías políticas aunque no geográficas, compartir una identificación lingüística o religiosa, representar a minorías étnicas, cuyo objetivo final les lleva a emplear acciones muy violentas como un método más incardinado en un plan que por supuesto tiene en cuenta el impacto que estos tienen.
Todos los grupos terroristas modernos necesitan la publicidad y cuanto más pequeños son, más la precisan. Partiendo de esta idea, es obvio que la elección de los objetivos viene determinada por esta circunstancia. Esta estrategia terrorista sólo funciona en los países en donde existe libertad de información, tratándose, en la mayoría de los casos, de países industrializados y de corte democrático, cuya base es la libertad de expresión y comunicación unidas a la libertad de prensa.

INTRODUÇÃO: As relações entre intermediários e jogadores de futebol de base maiores de 16 anos têm demonstrado maiores relevâncias, principalmente por fatores como o aumento das transferências e no incremento dos salários. OBJETIVO: Analisar como são iniciadas, sustentadas e encerradas as relações entre intermediários de futebol e jogadores de base menores de 16 anos de idade. MÉTODOS: Caracteriza-se como uma pesquisa qualitativa com delineamento exploratório,. A seleção da amostra foi não probabilística, de modo intencional, por conveniência. Participaram deste estudo 04 intermediários, homens com idades entre 36 e 42 anos. Para coleta de informações, foram utilizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas, as quais foram gravadas e posteriormente transcritas. RESULTADOS: Emergiram das entrevistas 187 unidades de registro, sendo alocadas em categorias e subcategorias, em conformidade com os pressupostos da análise de conteúdo. Considerou-se que as relações se iniciam a partir da análise de jogadores e os primeiros contatos entre agente e família do jogador. Sustentam-se à base da confiança e através da oferta de benefícios materiais e de serviço por parte do intermediário. O encerramento das relações pode ocorrer por motivos alheios antes da celebração do primeiro contrato profissional. CONCLUSÃO: Conclui-se que o principal interesse dos intermediários é fidelizar o jogador para lucrar financeiramente quando esse se profissionalizar. TITLE: A brief analysis of the relationship between intermediaries and football players under the age of 16ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The relations between intermediaries and base football players over 16 years old have shown greater relevance, mainly due to factors such as the increase in transfers and the increase in wages. OBJECTIVE: To analyze how the relations between soccer intermediaries and youth players under 16 years old are initiated, sustained and ended. METHODS: It is characterized as a qualitative research with an exploratory design, which allowed the interpretation of the results found. The sample selection was non-probabilistic, intentionally, for convenience. Four intermediaries, men, aged between 36 and 42 years, participated in this study. To collect information, semi-structured interviews were used, which were recorded and later transcribed. RESULTS: 187 record units emerged from the interviews, being allocated into categories and subcategories, in accordance with the assumptions of content analysis. It was considered that the relationships start from the analysis of players and the first contacts between the player’s agent and family. They are sustained on the basis of trust and through the offer of material benefits and service by the intermediary. The termination of relationships may occur for other reasons before the conclusion of the first professional contract. CONCLUSION: The main interest of intermediaries is to retain the player to profit financially when he becomes professional.

Waste and Circular Economy
Authors: Senatore Gianluca , Teofili Simone 
Published: May 2021

This work aims to describe and analyze the new socio economic phenomenon of waste-based circularity. To describe this process of recovery and transformation of waste, which represents the basis of circular economy, it is necessary to understand the complex articulation of the production of goods and materials, their yield and their capacity of transformation. At the heart of all this is a series of human behaviors and habits dictated by legal rules and economic and cultural approaches. If we manage to better understand these behaviors, we can activate a series of processes which could help us to determine and encourage more sustainable behaviors from an environmental, economic and social point of view.

A Data-driven Approach to X-Ray Spectral Fitting: Quasi-deconvolution
Authors: Rhea Carter , Hlavacek-Larrondo Julie , Kraft Ralph , Bogdan Akos , Geelen Rudy 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
X-ray spectral fitting of astronomical sources requires convolving the intrinsic spectrum or model with the instrumental response. Standard forward modeling techniques have proven success in recovering the underlying physical parameters in moderate to high signal-to-noise regimes; however, they struggle to achieve the same level of accuracy in low signal-to-noise regimes. Additionally, the use of machine learning techniques on X-ray spectra requires access to the intrinsic spectrum. Therefore, the measured spectrum must be effectively deconvolved from the instrumental response. In this note, we explore numerical methods for inverting the matrix equation describing X-ray spectral convolution. We demonstrate that traditional methods are insufficient to recover the intrinsic X-ray spectrum and argue that a novel approach is required.

ObjectivePsoriatic arthritis (PsA) substantially impairs quality of life. Clinical trials generally focus on polyarticular PsA, but less is known about the assessment and management of oligoarticular and moderate PsA. An online survey was conducted to determine Canadian rheumatologists’ perspectives on the definition and treatment of oligoarticular and moderate PsA.MethodsRegional and national experts treating patients with PsA were asked to complete an online survey to assess their approach to identifying and managing patients with PsA. Survey questions were developed based on guidance from a committee of Canadian rheumatologists.ResultsSixty-four of 78 rheumatologists responded, representing 6 major Canadian provinces. Nearly half of respondents were in practice > 20 years. The majority of rheumatologists reported using swollen joint count (SJC) to describe moderate PsA (86.4%) and oligoarticular PsA (96.7%), and considered location of inflammation in PsA assessments. SJC cutoff scores for reporting moderate PsA varied among rheumatologists, suggesting lack of an agreed-upon definition for moderate PsA. Sixty-eight percent of rheumatologists identified access to treatment as the greatest challenge with oligoarticular PsA.ConclusionAccording to the surveyed rheumatologists, SJC remains a key assessment variable when defining oligoarticular and moderate PsA. Although the number of joints is considered when determining the effect of PsA on patients, joint location and functional impairment are also considered when describing the disease as moderate. Access to treatment for patients with < 5 affected joints is challenging.
