Authors: Ma Junchao , Xu Xiaotong , Wang Shaoyu , Wang Ruifeng , Yu Nan 
Published: August 2019

Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore the feasibility of T1 and T2-mapping techniques in evaluating early Type 2 diabetic cataracts. Methods: Totally, 28 patients with Type 2 diabetes was prospectively collected, and 28 non-diabetic patients were collected as control group. All patients included had ophthalmological exploration and all patients underwent orbital MRI examination with T1 and T2-mapping on a Siemens-Skyra 3.0T scanner. T1 and T2 values of the lens nucleus were measured by region of interest (ROI) method based on Siemens-Syngo workstation. Two sample t-test was used to analyze the differences between groups. Pearson correlations were calculated between relaxation time (T1, T2) and clinical variables, such as fasting glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin etc. p < 0.01 was used to determine statistical significance. Results: In Type 2 diabetes group, the T1 value was 626.7 ± 56.8, T2 value was 29.4 ± 5.6. In non-diabetic group, the T1 value was 581.6 ± 64.7, T2 value was 24.8 ± 8.6. The T1 and T2 values of the lens in diabetic group were significantly higher than those in control group (p < 0.01, T1 value: 626.7 ± 56.8 vs 581.6 ± 64.7; T2 value: 29.4 ± 5.6 vs 24.8 ± 8.6). The T1 and T2 values of lens in diabetic patients were significantly correlated with glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and the correlation coefficients were 0.502 and 0.396, respectively. Conclusion: T1 and T2-mapping technique can sensitively reflect the alterative relaxation time of lens in diabetic patients. This technique can find abnormal changes earlier than slit lamp, and may be effective diagnostic methods for early lens disease. Advances in knowledge: T1 and T2-mapping techniques may be effective diagnostic methods for early lens disease, which can detect abnormal changes earlier than slit lamp examination.

The influence of (0.90-x) Bi2O3-xB2O3-0.10 (Ta2O5-Nb2O5) on the corrosion behavior of mild steel in 1MÂ hydrochloric acid was studied. Electrochemical polarization and impedance spectroscopic methods measurements were used. The inhibition efficiency increases with S1 concentration to reach 79% at 150 ppm. Polarization curves show that our inhibitors. S1 is a cathodic inhibitor type. The increase in temperature leads to a decrease in the inhibition efficiency of the used inhibitor. The thermodynamic study showed that the film was formed at the steel surface by physisorption in the presence of inhibitor. Moreover, in this study, the results showed that the inhibition efficiencies depend on the B2O3 andBi2O3 content in the glass. it is observed that the value at 50% of B2O3 in the glass provided better protection than the other content.

Published: August 2019

The present article aims to optimize the decarbonization of Timahdit oil shale layer Y by removing carbonates from the raw rock using acetic acid. The response surface methodology â€œcentral compositeÂ design (CCD)â€ has been used as a method of optimization to study the 3 factors of the process. The factors studied are the concentration of the acid, the processing time, and the ratio (liquid/solid). The optimal conditions with 68.17% of residue rate are obtained with 2 mol/l as concentration, 120 min as a time of treatment and 10.02 for the ratio.The raw (Y) and optimized materials (YO) were characterized by Scanning Electron MicroscopyÂ (SEM), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and X-rayÂ diffractionÂ (XRD). The results showed that the acetic acid used to remove carbonates affects the chemical composition and the texture evolution of the residues.
NADA POLIFONIK TEKS MARXIST ALA KUNTOWIJOYO: PENCARIAN JATI DIRI DARI MARXISME KE ISLAM
Authors: Makin Al 
Published: August 2019

This paper presents the way in which Kuntowijoyo searches for an epestimological formulation and critical thinking from Marxits to Islamic tendencies. This effort fills the gap left by some Indonesian readers of Kuntowijoyo’s works who only highlight his Islamic ideas in literature, culture, history, and sociology from which Kuntowijoyo unleashes the idea of prophetic paradigmn to differentiate his thought from secular Western mode of thinking. This paper also compares Kuntowijoyo’s text to the performance dangdut music of Rhoma Irama to discover the tone and rhytm of polyphone, by which I mean complexity of the text in combining Western and Eastern thoughts. This writing sheds light on the polyphonic tone of Kuntowijoyo’s text and the shifting paradigm of his thought from Marxist to Islamic tendencies.Tulisan ini membahas pergulatan pemikiran Kuntowijoyo dari aliran Marxist menuju arah Islamis. Dalam tulisan ini menyoroti para pembahas di Indonesia yang sering menekankan gagasan islami Kuntowijoyo dalam sastra, budaya, pemikiran sejarah dan sosiologi, terutama gagasan tentang profetiknya dalam bidang-bidang tersebut. Tulisan ini sekaligus membandingkan teks polifonik Kuntowijoyo yang meramu tradisi Marxisme Barat dengan musik dangdut Rhoma Irama sebagai tolak ukur nada dan irama polifonik. Baik musik dangdut ataupun teks Kuntowijoyo menghadirkan berbagai unsur perpaduan Barat dan Timur dan sekaligus mengarah pada pencarian identitas keislaman Kuntowijoyo dan Rhoma Irama. Tulisan ini sekaligus memberi sumbangan baru pada pembacaan teks polifonik dan pergeseran gagasan Kuntowijoyo dari Marxist ke Islami yang tidak mendapatkan porsi cukup dari para pembahas di Indonesia.
Real-time distributed co-movement pattern detection on streaming trajectories

Published: August 2019

With the widespread deployment of mobile devices with positioning capabilities, increasingly massive volumes of trajectory data are being collected that capture the movements of people and vehicles. This data enables co-movement pattern detection, which is important in applications such as trajectory compression and future-movement prediction. Existing co-movement pattern detection studies generally consider historical data and thus propose offline algorithms. However, applications such as future movement prediction need real-time processing over streaming trajectories. Thus, we investigate real-time distributed co-movement pattern detection over streaming trajectories.
Existing off-line methods assume that all data is available when the processing starts. Nevertheless, in a streaming setting, unbounded data arrives in real time, making pattern detection challenging. To this end, we propose a framework based on Apache Flink, which is designed for efficient distributed streaming data processing. The framework encompasses two phases: clustering and pattern enumeration. To accelerate the clustering, we use a range join based on two-layer indexing, and provide techniques that eliminate unnecessary verifications. To perform pattern enumeration efficiently, we present two methods FBA and VBA that utilize id-based partitioning. When coupled with bit compression and candidate-based enumeration techniques, we reduce the enumeration cost from exponential to linear. Extensive experiments offer insight into the efficiency of the proposed framework and its constituent techniques compared with existing methods.
Development of a Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical Device for Wood Densification Adaptable to Universal Testing Machines and Its Evaluation in a Tropical Species
Authors: Tenorio Carolina , Moya Roger 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
There is considerable interest in the development of thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) treatments to increase the density of low-density woods. However, the development of processes for improving the properties of low-density woods in regions with lower investments in investigations and development, such as tropical areas, is often limited by the equipment and infrastructure constraints. The aim of this work is to outline the development and construction of an inexpensive THM densification device (THM device) that controls the application of heat, load, and steam, by adapting an accessory to a 60-Mg universal testing machine (UTM). The THM device was evaluated using the Vochysia guatemalensis wood (tropical species). The inexpensive densification THM device uses steaming, temperature, and compression and can be adaptable to a 60-Mg-capacity UTM. It also allowed us to successfully conduct the densification process on 20 by 70 by 300 mm wood samples of a low-density tropical species. However, there were some drawbacks discovered: for example, the steam application, pressure, and temperatures were controlled independently, which was not convenient. It would be more convenient to concentrate them in a single control unit. Additionally, a high variation was observed in the compression and stabilization thickness.

The Function of Silence in Gertrud von le Fort’s Novel “The Veil of Veronica”
Authors: Piasta Ewa Anna Anna 
Published: August 2019

The German writer Gertrud von le Fort is among the leading representatives of the German Renouveau catholique – a religious and literary movement, originated in France in the 1900s. By turning to the values of an authentic Catholicism, the movement was aimed at a renewal of literature and society through faith. The subject of this article is the best known novel by Gertrud von le Fort, The Veil of Veronica, part one of which is titled The Roman Fountain, and part two – The Wreath of Angels. The objective of the present study is to analyse a variety of aspects and functions of silence, as seen in the novel The Veil of Veronica as well as to prove the assumption that this phenomenon is found both in the language layer of the text through direct reference or indirect implication, and in the layer of meaning, when used to highlight specific affections of the characters and to suggest what is not conveyed by language. The analysis is preceded by a theoretical introduction, in which the author defines the phenomenon of silence on the basis of the existing literature, focusing on its multiple meanings and functions.The analysis of the novel enables to argue that silence can mean understanding, a complete lack thereof, be an expression of refusal to communicate verbally, as well as an attitude of readiness to listen. In each of these cases, it is a form of communication. Silence is frequently related to profound experiences of literary characters and provides a means to intensify artistic expression. Silence is also connected with religious practice, as it arises from the experience of the sacred, which is of particular significance in the novel.
Hernia intraesponjosa de Schmörl sintomática. [Symptomatic intraosseous Schmörl herniation]
Authors: Guimbard Pérez Joint Halley , Barriga-Martín Andrés , Romero-Munóz Luis María 
Published: August 2019

Las hernias discales intraesponjosas vertebrales o nódulos de Schmörl consisten en una herniación o una extrusión del núcleo pulposo del disco intervertebral a través del platillo vertebral hacia el cuerpo adyacente. Suelen asociarse a deformidades vertebrales, como la enfermedad de Scheuermann, o a enfermedades reumáticas, como la espondilitis anquilopoyética. En general, son hallazgos casuales y cuadros asintomáticos; son pocos los casos publicados de nódulos sintomáticos. Su aparición estaría relacionada con un platillo vertebral debilitado por traumatismo o estrés repetido. Cuando el nódulo es agudo o reciente, puede ser difícil diferenciar la degeneración benigna de una infiltración maligna o una infección. Presentamos un caso inusual de un nódulo de Schmörl doloroso en un hombre sin antecedentes de relevancia, que enmascaró una lesión metastásica de carcinoma pancreático a nivel lumbar. Se realiza una revisión bibliográfica. ABSTRACTIntraosseous disc herniation –or Schmörl nodes (SN)– are a herniation or prolapse of the nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral disc through the vertebral plate and into the adjacent vertebral body. They are usually associated with vertebral deformities, suchas Scheuermann’s disease, or rheumatic diseases, such as ankylopoietic spondylitis. In general, they are spontaneous and asymptomatic findings, and there are only a few reported cases of symptomatic nodes. The etiology is supposedly related to a weakened spinal plate due to trauma or repeated stress. When the node is acute or recent, it can be difficult to differentiate a benign degeneration from a malignant infiltration or infection. In this paper, we discuss the unusual case of a painful Schmörl node in a man with no relevant history and a masked metastatic lumbar spinal tumor originated from pancreatic cancer. We performed a literature review.
Lesión traumática del nervio axilar identificada luego de la reparación del manguito rotador. [Traumatic injury of the axillary nerve identified after rotator cuff repair]
Authors: Cock Atehortua Julián Guillermo , Restrepo Noriega Victoria Eugenia 
Published: August 2019

Introducción: La prevalencia del dolor de hombro oscila entre el 6,7% y el 66,7%; los trastornos del manguito rotador y especialmente la ruptura pueden alcanzar una prevalencia del 22,1%. Debido a los importantes avances y estudios en la reparación de esta lesión, la cirugía artroscópica ha permitido una mejor identificación, visualización y clasificación, y un mejor manejo de los pacientes. Además, la ruptura del manguito rotador o la fractura de la tuberosidad mayor del húmero incrementan el riesgo de lesión nerviosa (riesgo relativo –1,9), más significativa en pacientes >60 años. Se presenta a un paciente con ruptura postraumática del manguito rotador, quien requirió reparación artroscópica mínimamente invasiva, con evolución posoperatoria estacionaria y diagnóstico de lesión del nervio axilar, sin recuperación autolimitada atribuida a luxación anterior e inestabilidad secundaria altrauma inicial.Conclusiones: La lesión del nervio axilar es más frecuente que lo esperado y, en muchas ocasiones, la identificación temprana se pasa por alto debido a la alta asociación con otras lesiones. Por lo tanto, el diagnóstico y el manejo oportunos requieren mucho cuidado por parte del médico tratante. AbstractIntroduction: The prevalence of shoulder pain varies between 6.7% and 66.7%; whereas rotator cuff disorders–especially rupture–can reach a prevalence of 22.1%. Due to the important advances and studies in the repair of this injury, arthroscopic surgery has allowed a better identification, visualization and classification, as well as a better handling of the patients. In addition, rotator cuff ruptures or greater tuberosity fractures increase the risk of nerve injury (relative risk -1.9), which is more significant in patients >60 years old. We discuss the case of a patient with post-traumatic rotator cuff rupture who required minimally invasive arthroscopic repair. No weight-bearing was allowed during the postoperative period. Patient presented a non-self-limited axillary nerve injury secondary to anterior dislocation and resulting instability after the original trauma.Conclusions: Axillary nerve injuries are more common than expected and, in many cases, early identification is not possible due to its high rate of association with other injuries. Therefore, treating physicians must be very careful in order to achieve a timely diagnosis and management of the patient.
Effects of Exercise on Chemotherapy Completion and Hospitalization Rates: The OptiTrain Breast Cancer Trial
Authors: Mijwel Sara , Bolam Kate A. , Gerrevall Jacob , Foukakis Theodoros , Wengström Yvonne , Rundqvist Helene 
Published: August 2019

Abstract

Background
Exercise during chemotherapy is suggested to provide clinical benefits, including improved chemotherapy completion. Despite this, few randomized controlled exercise trials have reported on such clinical endpoints. From the OptiTrain trial we previously showed positive effects on physiological and health-related outcomes after 16 weeks of supervised exercise in patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Here, we examined the effects of exercise on rates of chemotherapy completion and hospitalization, as well as on blood cell concentrations during chemotherapy.

Patients and Methods
Two hundred forty women scheduled for chemotherapy were randomized to 16 weeks of resistance and high-intensity interval training (RT-HIIT), moderate-intensity aerobic and high-intensity interval training (AT-HIIT), or usual care (UC). Outcomes included chemotherapy completion, hospitalization, hemoglobin, lymphocyte, thrombocyte, and neutrophil concentrations during chemotherapy.

Results
No significant between-groups differences were found in the proportion of participants who required dose reductions (RT-HIIT vs. UC: odds ratio [OR], 1.08; AT-HIIT vs. UC: OR, 1.39), or average relative dose intensity of chemotherapy between groups (RT-HIIT vs. UC: effect size [ES], 0.08; AT-HIIT vs. UC: ES, −0.07). A significantly lower proportion of participants in the RT-HIIT group (3%) were hospitalized during chemotherapy compared with UC (15%; OR, 0.20). A significantly lower incidence of thrombocytopenia was found for both RT-HIIT (11%) and AT-HIIT (10%) versus UC (30%; OR, 0.27; OR, 0.27).

Conclusion
No beneficial effects of either RT-HIIT or AT-HIIT on chemotherapy completion rates were found. However, combined resistance training and high-intensity interval training were effective to reduce hospitalization rates, and both exercise groups had a positive effect on thrombocytopenia. These are important findings with potential positive implications for the health of women with breast cancer and costs associated with treatment-related complications.
