Economic efficiency and constraints of maize production under shifting cultivation farming system in low land of Gudeya Bila district, Oromia national regional state, Ethiopia: Stochastic frontier approach
Authors: Tesema Tolesa 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
Traditionally farming system of rural area in Ethiopia is based on producing maize without oxen ploughing which is characterized with clearing land by their own land and cultivating it without oxen ploughing. Thus for many years the farmers of Ethiopia are unable to meet their food security. This situation is continued currently in the study area in which the production system of maize is based on producing advanced methods of production that need improvements of efficiency of farmers .Therefore these studies analyze economic efficiency and constraints of maize production under shifting in the low land farming of Gudeya Bila district. The study was conducted using cross-sectional data collected during the 2020/2021 production year from 154 randomly selected sample households. To estimate the level of technical, allocative and economic stochastic production frontier model was employed and Tobit model was used to identify factors affecting technical, allocative and economic efficiency of sample households.The mean technical, allocative and economic efficiency were 78.78%, 69.99% and 56.66% respectively. The Tobit model results shows that education levels, family size, farm size, construction of terrace, frequency of extension contact, uses of credit, participation in off/non-farm activities and shifting cultivation had a significant positive effect on technical efficiency. Livestock holding and participation in off/nonfarm activities have positive effects and distance to plot were found to have negative effect on allocative efficiency while family size, soil conservation practice, credit, extension service, off/non-farm activities were found to have positive effect and distance to plot is negative influence on economic efficiency. The main conclusion steaming from this analysis was there is the possibility to enhance the efficiency of maize producers in the study area. Thus policies and strategies of the government should be directed towards the contraction of terrace, shifting from shifting cultivation to oxen farming, producing by fragmented of land rather than focusing only on single plot.

Abstract
Background

We compared the differences of Joint-preservation Limb Salvage (JPLS) and Joint-prosthesis Replacement Surgery (JPRS) on limb function and quality of life in patients with osteosarcoma in the knee.
Methods

This retrospective study evaluated the postoperative outcomes of patients treated with JPLS and JPRS for osteosarcoma around the knee between November 2000 and January 2019. All patients were followed up at 1 year postoperatively. Patients' lower extremity function, knee function, and quality of life were evaluated during follow-up using the MSTS score, IKDC score, and SF-36 score.
Results

The patients were divided into two groups: the joint-preservation group (16) and the prosthetic-replacement group (19). All 35 patients received a successful operation, and all incisions healed in one stage after surgery. At 12 months after the operation, the median MTST score in the joint-preservation group was 27(range 24 to30), higher than 24(range 13 to 30) in the prosthetic-replacement group (P < 0.05, Table 2). The median IKDC score in the joint-preservation group was 82.5(range 53 to 95), higher than the 60(range 41 to 80) in the prosthetic- replacement group (P < 0.05, Table 2). The SF-36 scores of physiological and social functions were higher in the joint-preserving group than those in the prosthetic-replacement group (P < 0.05), and there were no significant differences between the groups in the other indexes (P > 0.05). Comparing the distribution of each item in the MSTS and IKDC scoring criteria between the joint-preservation and the prosthetic-replacement group revealed that the limb function, pain, satisfaction, support assistance, and the walking and gait of the joint-preservation group were superior to those of the prosthetic-replacement group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in knee flexion between the two groups (P > 0.05). However, the joint-preservation group performed superior to the prosthesis-replacement group in terms of pain, swelling, twisting, softening of the leg, movement downstairs, sitting up from a chair, kneeling, squatting, running straight, jumping up with the injured leg and landing, and quickly stopping or starting (P < 0.05).
Conclusion

Compared with joint-prosthesis replacement surgery, joint-preservation limb salvage performed better joint function and quality of life. The findings provide a signal of superiority for JPLS to JPRS but further investigation is warranted in multicentre trials.
Prognostic Genomic Predictive Biomarkers for Early-Stage Lung Cancer Patients
Authors: Moon Hojin , Nguyen Alex , Lee Evan 
Published: September 2021

Aims:
Our goal is to find predictive genomic biomarkers in order to identify subgroups of early-stage lung cancer patients that are most likely to benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy with surgery (ACT).

Background:
Receiving ACT appears to have a better prognosis for more severe early-stage non-small cell lung cancer patients than surgical resection only. However, not all patients benefit from chemotherapy.

Objective:
Preliminary studies suggest that the application of ACT is associated with a better prognosis for more severe NSCLC patients compared to those who only underwent surgical resection. Given the immense personal and financial costs associated with ACT, finding the patients who are most likely to benefit from ACT is paramount. Thus, the purpose of this research is to utilize gene expression and clinical data from lung cancer patients to find treatment-associated genomic biomarkers.

Methods:
To investigate the treatment effect, a modified-covariate regularized Cox regression model with lasso penalty is implemented using National Cancer Institute gene expression data to find genomic biomarkers.

Results:
This research utilized an independent validation dataset involving 318 lung cancer patients to validate the models. In the validation set with 318 patients, the modified covariate Cox model with lasso penalty were able to show patients who followed their predicted recommendation (either ACT for low-risk group or OBS for the high-risk group, n = 171) have higher survival benefits than 147 patients who did not follow the recommendations (p < .0001).

Conclusion:
Based on validation data, patients who follow our predicted recommendation by genomic biomarkers selected from the proposed model will likely benefit from ACT.

Authors: Alam Hilda Sulistia , Altahirah Sutrisna 
Published: September 2021

<p><strong><em>Background: </em></strong><em>Hemoglobin (Hb) is a protein molecule containing iron from red blood cells and myoglobin in the muscles which functions to carry oxygen from the lungs to all body tissues and brings back carbon dioxide from all body tissues to the lungs to be excreted from the body. Hb level during pregnancy is very important because it affects the condition of the mother and fetus. If the Hb level of pregnant women is low, it can cause anemia. Symptoms of anemia are dizziness, pallor, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and decreased appetite. One of the foods that are good for pregnant women to consume is corn.

Supportive Care Interventions for People With Cancer Assisted by Digital Technology: Systematic Review
Authors: Marthick Michael , McGregor Deborah , Alison Jennifer , Cheema Birinder , Dhillon Haryana , Shaw Tim 
Published: September 2021

Background
Although relatively new, digital health interventions are demonstrating rapid growth because of their ability to facilitate access and overcome issues of location, time, health status, and most recently, the impact of a major pandemic. With the increased uptake of digital technologies, digital health has the potential to improve the provision of supportive cancer care.

Objective
This systematic review aims to evaluate digital health interventions for supportive cancer care.

Methods
Published literature between 2000 and 2020 was systematically searched in MEDLINE, PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Scopus. Eligible publications were randomized controlled trials of clinician-led digital health interventions to support adult cancer patients. The interventions included were determined by applying a digital health conceptual model. Studies were appraised for quality using the revised Cochrane risk of bias tool.

Results
Twenty randomized controlled trials met the inclusion criteria for the analysis. Interventions varied by duration, frequency, degree of technology use, and applied outcome measures. Interventions targeting a single tumor stream, predominantly breast cancer, and studies involving the implementation of remote symptom monitoring have dominated the results. In most studies, digital intervention resulted in significant positive outcomes in patient-reported symptoms, levels of fatigue and pain, health-related quality of life, functional capacity, and depression levels compared with the control.

Conclusions
Digital health interventions are helpful and effective for supportive care of patients with cancer. There is a need for high-quality research. Future endeavors could focus on the use of valid, standardized outcome measures, maintenance of methodological rigor, and strategies to improve patient and health professional engagement in the design and delivery of supportive digital health interventions.

BOREDOM, HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY, AND IMMORTALITY
Authors: Elpidorou Andreas 
Published: September 2021

AbstractBernard Williams has famously argued that an immortal life would necessarily be boring. Despite the obvious importance that boredom occupies in Williams’s argument, he says very little about the nature of boredom. In this paper, I argue that attention to the empirical literature on boredom reveals a serious flaw in Williams’s argument. Specifically, I show that there is no available explication of boredom that is supported by the empirical research and which at the same time establishes Williams’s conclusions.
