Authors: Röbenack Klaus , Voßwinkel Rick 
Published: October 2019

Zusammenfassung
Zahlreiche regelungstechnisch relevante Entwurfs- und Analysefragestellungen lassen sich als Entscheidungsprobleme formulieren und mit quantifizierten Ausdrücken darstellen. Um diese Formulierungen für die jeweilige regelungstechnische Aufgabe nutzen zu können, werden Methoden der Quantorenelimination verwendet. Dabei handelt es sich um ein aus der Modelltheorie stammendes Konzept, um quantifizierte Ausdrücke in quantorenfreie Äquivalente zu überführen. Dieser Ansatz wird in diesem Beitrag auf eine Reihe von Fragestellungen angewendet und anhand diverser Beispiele diskutiert.
Urban Water Infrastructure Asset Management Plan: Case Study
Authors: Ferreira Bruno , Carriço Nelson J. G. 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
The current paper aims the application of the Portuguese infrastructure asset management (IAM) methodology to a case study. The inevitable degradation of urban water infrastructures creates new challenges for water utilities engineers and manager, as they need to decide which components should be rehabilitated to efficiently match the public’s demand, while still providing a qualitative and efficient service that doesn’t compromise the financial integrity of water utilities.
This methodology is based on a five-step structured sequence - (i) definition of objectives assessment criteria and metrics; (ii) diagnosis; (iii) plan production; (iv) plan implementation; and (v) monitoring and revision – being structured in three distinct levels of planning and decision (i.e., strategic, tactical and operational). The IAM methodology was applied to a sixty-year-old water supply system (WSS) located in Lisbon’s metropolitan area, Portugal, mainly focused on steps (i) to (iii) and to the tactical level of planning. Results obtained are discussed and the main conclusions are presented.

Using the discourse domain hypothesis of interlanguage to teach scientific concepts: Report on a case study in secondary education
Authors: Naiditch Fernando , Selinker Larry 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
This paper reports work-to-date on a particular practical context, applying one approach to interlanguage, the discourse domains approach, merged with the rhetorical-grammatical approach, involving both language and content. The context is an MA course for teacher residents placed in urban schools, and their English language learners (ELLs) in math and science classes, providing content area teachers the linguistic support they need to teach the language of their content, and thus the content itself. We were interested in how exactly learners’ interlanguage creation interacts with their understanding of scientific concepts. We primarily look at the rhetorical function “definition,” with discourse level semantic choices, and attendant grammar, with ELL data gathered by the teacher residents. Correct definitions in expected grammatical form point to an understanding of the scientific concept within the discourse domain, providing evidence that the science or mathematics content has been understood by the student. In our data analysis, we concentrated on the semantics and grammar of this rhetorical function, but other functions kept intruding, especially “classification”. Cross-language transfer appears not to be a factor, but cross-domain transfer is. Finally, we discuss how the marriage of this view of interlanguage with safe rule rhetorical/grammatical functions can better support teacher preparation, especially given how challenging teaching ELLs is for content area teachers.
The Influence of Online Reviews on Restaurants: The Roles of Review Valence, Platform, and Credibility
Authors: van Lohuizen Anne-Wil , Trujillo-Barrera Andres 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Online reviews influence consumer decision making, retrieving valuable information about consumers to the companies. We investigate how review valence, platform type, and review credibility affect purchase intention (visit to restaurants). We use an experimental 2 × 4 between-subjects factorial design with two platforms (company websites and independent websites) and four types of review valences (neutral, negative, positive and balanced), with data of 256 respondents. Results show that purchase intentions are influenced by review valence. The effect is moderated by perceived review credibility. Review platform has no moderating effect on the influence of review valence. Results provide practical information for marketers in the service industry.

Abstract

Background
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers in patients older than 65 years. Emergency presentation represents about 30% of cases, with increased morbidity and mortality rates. The aim of this study is to compare the perioperative outcome between elderly and non-elderly patients undergoing emergency surgery.

Method
We retrospectively analysed CRC patients that underwent emergency surgery at the Departments of Surgery of the Sapienza University Sant’Andrea Hospital in Rome, and at San Donato Hospital in Arezzo, between June 2012 and June 2017. Patients were divided into two groups: non-elderly (< 65 years) and elderly (≥ 65 years). Variables analysed were sex, onset symptoms, associated disease, ASA score, tumor site and TNM stage, surgical procedures and approach, and morbidity and mortality.

Results
Of a total of 123 patients, 29 patients were non-elderly and 94 patients were elderly. No significant differences were observed in sex, onset symptoms and tumor site between the two groups. Comorbidities were significantly higher in elderly patients (73.4% vs 41.4%, p<0.001). No significant differences were observed between the two groups in surgical approach and the rate of one-stage procedures. Elderly patients were more frequently treated by Hartmann’s procedure compared to non-elderly patients (20.2% vs 6.9%). Left colorectal resection with protective ileostomy was most frequent in the non-elderly group (27.6% vs 11.7%). No significant differences were found in the pT and pN categories of the TNM system between the two groups. However, a higher number of T3 in non-elderly patients was observed. A consistent number of non-oncologically adequate resections were observed in the elderly (21.3% vs 3.5%; p<0.03). The morbidity rate was significantly higher in the elderly group (31.9 % vs 3.4%, p<0.001). No significant difference was found in the mortality rate between the two groups, being 13.8% in the elderly and 6.9% in the non-elderly.

Conclusions
Emergency colorectal surgery for cancer still presents significant morbidity and mortality rates, especially in elderly patients. More aggressive tumors and advanced stages were more frequent in the non-elderly group and as a matter it should be taken into account when treating such patients in the emergency setting in order to perform a radical procedure as much as possible.

Adsorptive Removal of Nerve Agent Gases by Carbon Nanotubes: A Density Functional Theory Study
Authors: Mohsennia Mohsen , Rakhshi Mahdi , Sameti Mahdi Rezaei 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Density functional theory (DFT) studies were performed to evaluate the adsorption behavior and electronic response of (4,4) carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to the organophosphorus nerve agents 3,3-dimethylbutan-2-yl methyl phosphono fluoridate (Soman), pinacolyl methyl phosphonate (SOS), diethyl fluorophosphates (SAS-F) and diethyl chlorophosphate (SAS-Cl). The calculations were performed using the triple numerical plus polarization (TNP) as the basis set with an orbital cutoff of 4.5 Å. The electronic exchange and correlation effects were analyzed by generalized gradient approximation (GGA) with the BLYP parameterization. The studied systems were fully optimized and adsorption energy (E
ad), interaction distances, geometric and electronic structures were investigated. According to the obtained relatively high E
ad, it was shown that Soman, SOS, SAS-Cl and SAS-F more likely to be absorbed on the CNTs surfaces, introducing an interesting candidate for chemisorption of the nerve agent gas molecules. As a result, the order of increasing of the E
ad values of the studied systems were |E
ad SAS-F/CNT| > |E
ad SAS-Cl/CNT| > |E
ad SOS/CNT| > |E
ad Soman/CNT| systems. The calculated partial density of states (PDOS) of the adsorption systems confirmed the strong electrons interaction between the nerve agent molecules and the CNTs surfaces. The obtained results indicated the potential application of CNTs in the design and fabrication of protective low-cost gas filters against toxic odorless nerve agent gases.
A review on immunohistochemical and histopathologic validation in PET-CT findings with consideration to microRNAs
Authors: Bădan Marius-Ioan , Bonci Eduard-Alexandru , Piciu Doina 
Published: October 2019

Purpose. This review provides an overview of some of the most recent clinical trials which investigated various types of cancer and other diseases, through the use of PET-CT imaging, highlighting the use of immunohistochemical stains or conventional histopathology for the validation or contradiction of their hypothesis. Furthermore, we investigate a potential new direction of research by analyzing the upcoming role of microRNAs in disease confirmation.
Methods. An extensive search of MEDLINE/ PubMed and SCOPUS electronic databases was made, using the MeSH terms "positron emission tomography computed tomography" and "immunohistochemistry" as well as ”SUV” and ”immunohistochemistry”, restricting the search by clinical trials and time period. Further searches were made for articles regarding Ki-67 and microRNAs in correlation with metabolic PET-CT uptake.
Results. Out of all 389 initial search results, 27 original articles were found relevant to the topic. Their contents were synthesized and discussed regarding the matter at hand. No relevant clinical trials involving microRNAs were found.
Conclusions. Immunohistochemical and histopathologic results remain widely used and indispensable in modern research, concerning PET-CT validation. Possible candidates for diagnosis confirmation, in future research, may reside in the further development of microRNAs.

ANALISIS WACANA KASUS PELECEHAN SEKSUAL TERHADAP PEREMPUAN PADA BERITA ONLINE DALAM PERSPEKTIF ANALISIS SARA MILS
Authors: Zamzuardi Yosi 
Published: October 2019

Abstract : This study discusses the discourse of sexual violence that occurs among women in online media coverage. Good media can display balanced information. Various reports related to sexual harassment often experienced by women can be represented in a discourse differently. At present the exploitation of women is carried out through more intellectual and neatly packaged methods, one of which is through discourse revealed in the mass media. Women in the media are positioned visually prominent , but also marginalized in meaning. If this continues, it will reinforce the existence of gender differences between women and men which has implications for the potential for increasing gender oppression with women as victims. The problem discussed in this study is a critical discourse analysis using the theory of Sara Mils. The discussion of Sara Mills around discourse theory makes the discourse of feminism a vortex of study. In addition, it also addresses women's issues such as how women are displayed in text, images, photos and in the news. The focus of this study is to examine 1) how the text experiences bias in representing women in the text, 2) how the marginalization of women is formed in weakening women's position.Abstrak: Penelitian ini membahas tentang wacana kekerasan seksual yang terjadi di kalangan perempuan dalam pemberitaan media online. Media yang baik dapat menampilkan informasi yang berimbang. Berbagai pemberitaan terkait pelecehan seksual sering dialami perempuan dapat direpresentasikan ke dalam sebuah wacana secara berbeda-beda. Saat ini eksploitasi terhadap perempuan dilakukan melalui cara-cara yang lebih intelektual dan dikemas secara apik, salah satunya melalui wacana yang diungkap dalam media massa. Perempuan dalam media diposisikan yang menonjol secara visual, tetapi juga terpinggirkan dalam makna. Hal tersebut jika terus dibiarkan, akan mempertegas adanya perbedaan gender antara perempuan dengan laki-laki yang berimplikasi pada potensi meningkatnya penindasan gender dengan perempuan sebagai korbannya. Permasalahan yang dibahas dalam penelitian ini adalah analisis wacana kritis menggunakan teori Sara Mils. Pembahasan Sara Mills seputar teori wacana menjadikan wacana feminisme sebagai pusaran kajiannya. Selain itu juga membahas isu-isu perempuan seperti bagaimana perempuan ditampilkan dalam teks, gambar, foto serta dalam berita. Fokus penelitian ini yaitu mengkaji 1) bagaimana teks mengalami bias dalam merepresantasikan perempuan dalam teks, 2) bagaimana marginalisasi perempuan terbentuk dalam pelemahan posisi perempuan.
¿Puede hablar el subalterno en la cuentística contemporánea de Cuba?
Authors: Ebenhoch Markus 
Published: October 2019

Después de la caída del muro de Berlín, en Cuba comenzó el así llamado “Período Especial en tiempos de paz”. Como consecuencia de los profundos cambios políticos y sociales surgieron en la narrativa cubana de los noventa nuevos discursos postrevolucionarios. En este trabajo se examina la representación del habla subalterna, concretamente el caso de los personajes afectados por la miseria económica, en un corpus de 120 cuentos escritos entre 1990-2000. Partiendo de los conceptos teóricos de Antonio Gramsci y Gayatri Spivak, así como de los temas tratados en el corpus, se presentan y discuten los resultados del análisis narratológico de aquellos 59 cuentos que contienen descripciones de pobreza; además se aborda el estatus del autor cubano, los personajes literarios y el lenguaje utilizado. El análisis de la instancia narrativa resulta asimismo de suma importancia para la cuestión de la articulación subalterna: entre estos 59 cuentos, 29 utilizan instancias narrativas homodiegéticas, de los cuales 18 viven en condiciones miserables. Si bien 23 cuentos se caracterizan por instancias narrativas heterodiegéticas, en solo dos textos los lectores se encuentran frente a una focalización interna que se encuentra dentro de una perspectiva subalterna. Tres de los siete cuentos que oscilan entre instancias narrativas homodiegéticas y heterodiegéticas se construyen con narradores pobres.

Abstract

Background
Patients with RAS wild-type (WT) nonresectable metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) may receive either bevacizumab or an anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) combined with first-line, 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy. Without the RAS status information, the oncologist can either start chemotherapy with bevacizumab or wait for the introduction of the anti-EGFR. Our objective was to compare both strategies in a routine practice setting.

Materials and Methods
This multicenter, retrospective, propensity score–weighted study included patients with a RAS WT nonresectable mCRC, treated between 2013 and 2016 by a 5-FU-based chemotherapy, with either delayed anti-EGFR or immediate anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Primary criterion was overall survival (OS). Secondary criteria were progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR).

Results
A total of 262 patients (129 in the anti-VEGF group and 133 in the anti-EGFR group) were included. Patients receiving an anti-VEGF were more often men (68% vs. 56%), with more metastatic sites (&gt;2 sites: 15% vs. 9%). The median delay to obtain the RAS status was 19 days (interquartile range: 13–26). Median OS was not significantly different in the two groups (29 vs. 30.5 months, p = .299), even after weighting on the propensity score (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.86, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.69–1.08, p = .2024). The delayed introduction of anti-EGFR was associated with better median PFS (13.8 vs. 11.0 months, p = .0244), even after weighting on the propensity score (HR = 0.74, 95% CI, 0.61–0.90, p = .0024). ORR was significantly higher in the anti-EGFR group (66.7% vs. 45.6%, p = .0007).

Conclusion
Delayed introduction of anti-EGFR had no deleterious effect on OS, PFS, and ORR, compared with doublet chemotherapy with anti-VEGF.
