Forming Diagnostic Opinions
Authors: Woerner Markus H. , Edmondson Ricca 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
Using an understanding of rhetoric as a method of communicative reasoning capable of providing grounds for conviction in those to whom it is addressed, this article argues that the formation of medical diagnoses shares a structure with Aristotle’s account of the rhetorical syllogism (the enthymeme). Here the argument itself (logos), together with characterological elements (ethos) and emotions (pathos), are welded together so that each affects the operation of the others. In the initial three sections of the paper, we contend, first, that diagnoses, as verdictive performatives, differ from scientific claims in being irreducibly personal and context-dependent; secondly, that they fit the structure of voluntary action as analysed by Aristotle and Aquinas; thirdly, that as practical syllogisms they differ from theoretical syllogisms, for example in taking effect in action, being ›addressed‹, and being intrinsically embedded in wider contexts of medical communication and practices. In the remaining sections we apply this account to textual evidence about diagnosis, drawing on work by the brain surgeon Henry Marsh. A rhetorical analysis of his observations on the formation of diagnostic opinions in situilluminates how moral, social and emotional features are fused with the cognitive aspects of medical judgement, making or marring how diagnoses and treatment are enacted. In other words, a philosophical- rhetorical account of diagnosis can help us to appreciate how medical diagnosis takes effect. We briefly conclude with some implications of our work for how diagnostic processes could in practice be better supported.

Abstract
Psychotherapy talk is characterized by epistemic, emotional and professional asymmetries of knowledge, which are continuously adjusted to by the participants in joint process of negotiation. Adjustment is based on structural features of communication: the fundamental sequentiality of verbal interaction, i.e. interrelated succession of utterances of at least two interlocutors, provides for and guarantees the achievement of intersubjectivity and therapeutic efficiency. Solution-oriented questions as a rhetorical practice serve to produce forward-looking awareness, expansion of knowledge and reorganization of knowledge on the patient’s side as well as an increased ability to act. These processes become apparent not only locally in the immediate context of solution-oriented questions but also globally in the course of the interaction as a whole. The data for this research consists of psychodiagnostic interviews conducted according to the concept and manual of the Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnostics (OPD Task Force 2009).

Abstract
In the present study, we have deposited hierarchical flower-like microstructured zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films directly on a glass substrate by using the simplistic aqueous chemical route for different concentrations of triethanolamine (TEA) which acted like a complexing agent. The as-synthesized ZnO thin films were subsequently annealed at 300 °C and are characterized with characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), photoluminescence (PL), and electrical resistivity. The hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure of as-synthesized ZnO thin films was confirmed by their XRD patterns and the well-resolved ZnO flowers-like morphology was revealed from the FESEM micrographs. From FESEM images it can be seen that the ZnO flower is composed of dozens of nanorods originating from the same core in a symmetric fashion with an average diameter of around 180-300 nm. The flower-like morphology was obtained at 0.3 M TEA concentration. Due to its hierarchical structure, the deposited ZnO thin films were employed for multiple applications such as gas sensing and anti-microbial activity. The ZnO thin films with micro-flowers like morphology showed the maximum gas sensor sensitivity ∼64.50 at 150 °C for 100 ppm of NO2 gas. Moreover, the bacteria were completely destroyed in the presence of as-deposited ZnO thin films.
Medaka Population Genome Structure and Demographic History Described via Genotyping-by-Sequencing

Published: November 2018

AbstractMedaka is a model organism in medicine, genetics, developmental biology and population genetics. Lab stocks composed of more than 100 local wild populations are available for research in these fields. Thus, medaka represents a potentially excellent bioresource for screening disease-risk- and adaptation-related genes in genome-wide association studies. Although the genetic population structure should be known before performing such an analysis, a comprehensive study on the genome-wide diversity of wild medaka populations has not been performed. Here, we performed genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) for 81 and 12 medakas captured from a bioresource and the wild, respectively. Based on the GBS data, we evaluated the genetic population structure and estimated the demographic parameters using an approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) framework. The genome-wide data confirmed that there were substantial differences between local populations and supported our previously proposed hypothesis on medaka dispersal based on mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) data. A new finding was that a local group that was thought to be a hybrid between the northern and the southern Japanese groups was actually an origin of the northern Japanese group. Thus, this paper presents the first population-genomic study of medaka and reveals its population structure and history based on chromosomal genetic diversity.
Transimperial History - Connectivity, Cooperation and Competition

Published: November 2018

Transimperial History – Connectivity, Cooperation and Competition This Forum article argues that a turn in empire history is needed, one which we label «transimperial». Whereas national history has been transnationalized in recent decades, the history of empires has, by and large, remained nationalized. Since transnational history, global history, postcolonial studies and new imperial history all offer an abundance of tools to tear down imperial borders and deconstruct nationalized narratives, the moment seems to have come for a shift, namely for what we call a transimperial approach to imperial history. We seek to show how such an approach makes it possible to dynamize and decentralize the history of empires both on the level of empirical research and historiographical narratives. By including marginalized empires we offer a way to overcome British centrism of empire studies. On the methodological level, this contribution seeks to discuss imperial competition, cooperation and connectivity not as separate phenomena but as entangled processes. The point is not to analytically isolate cooperation or competition but to shed light on how they reinforced each other and how connectivity plays into this. The article shows that a key to establishing a transimperial approach is to consider time and space together by focusing on the transformative aspect of competition, cooperation and connectivity in spaces in-between empires. In this article, we highlight transimperial histories avant la lettre, on which such an approach can rely. Finally, we discuss how this approach helps challenge essentializing master narratives in empire studies, be it the one in which the British Empire serves as a model for other empires or the one where the Japanese empire is seen as a mimicry of European imperialism.

Published: November 2018

INTRODUÇÃO: Tarefas motoras treinadas em ambiente aquático parecem potencializar o sistema proprioceptivo. Porém, é necessário investigar o efeito do meio aquático no desempenho neuromuscular de atletas. OBJETIVO: Avaliar o efeito de uma intervenção por exercícios neuromusculares funcionais aquáticos, com ênfase no sistema sensorial proprioceptivo, nas variáveis altura do salto e potência muscular, tendo a acuidade proprioceptiva como covariável. METODOLOGIA: Amostra composta por 14 homens universitários praticantes de futsal e dividida em grupo controle (GC/n=7) e grupo intervenção (GI/n=7). As variáveis potência mecânica muscular e altura do salto foram avaliadas por meio do teste de salto vertical de 60 segundos. A acuidade proprioceptiva foi avaliada pelo senso de posição articular e pela cinestesia quantificados pelo teste de percepção de movimentos passivos lentos (Tpassivo) e pelo teste de senso de posição articular (Tativo). As variáveis de desfecho foram mensuradas em dois momentos: antes e após a intervenção. A intervenção aquática foi aplicada durante seis semanas com três sessões em cada semana. RESULTADOS: Não houve efeito de grupo e nem do momento da avaliação na altura do salto, sendo que o GC alcançou altura de salto de 19,9±0,8 cm em comparação com o GI chegando a altura de 20,3±1,4 cm. Na potência mecânica muscular não houve efeito do momento, mas houve efeito do grupo, em que o GC apresentou potência de 366,2±17,6 W, enquanto GI apresentou 332,0±21,2 W, sendo menor que o GC. Nem o Tativo e nem o Tpassivo influenciaram a altura de salto e a potência mecânica muscular. CONCLUSÃO: A intervenção de exercícios neuromusculares aquáticos funcionais, com ênfase na propriocepção não afetou nem a potência muscular nem a altura do salto, este resultado não foi influenciado pela acuidade proprioceptiva.
Crosstalk between autophagy and iron in melanoma progression

Published: November 2018

Introduction.Autophagy, a catabolic process of protein and organelle recycling by transferring defective cytoplasm and organelles into double-membraned vesicles to degrade and regenerate materials, plays a critical role in maintaining energy homeostasis. Inefficiency chemo-and radiotherapy is largely associated with the activation of autophagy. Among the metals needed by the living organism, iron occupies a special place. The rapid growth of malignant tumors requires much more iron than the metabolism of normal cells.Objective.To elucidate the relationship between autophagy and iron in melanoma progression.Materials and methods.In this study we used 2D- and 3D-culturing of melanoma cells with high expression of CD71 (mel P and mel Z) and low expression of CD71 (mel Gus and mel Ibr), flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy.Results.The uptake of iron in cancer cells occurs through translocation of the complex of transferrin/receptor (CD71) in the cytoplasm with subsequent dissociation of iron from the complex. Chelation of iron by deferroxamine in melanoma cells mel P and mel Z reduced the level of autophagy about 2-fold. In the presence of an iron donor ferrum ammonium citrate the level of autophagy increased 2.5- fold. The same correlation was observed in melanoma cells with low expression of CD71. Chelation of iron in melanoma cells with high CD71 expression blocked the formation of capillary-like structures. In the presence of an iron donor the formation of capillary-like structures was also not observed. The same correlation was observed in melanoma cells with low expression of CD71. There was an increase in CD105 expression about 50 ± 5 % and 800 ± 50 % under the condition of iron chelation in melanoma cells with high and low expression of CD71, respectively. Quite unexpectably, iron donor also increased expression of CD105 about 35 ± 4 % and 300 ± 3 % in melanoma cells with high and low expression of CD71, respectivelyConclusions.The activation of autophagy promotes the survival of tumor cells by triggering a number of metabolic functions with the participation of iron.
Different Routes - Same Destination: Planning Processes for Decommissioning in South East Asia
Authors: Laister Steve , Jagerroos Sylvia 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
'As decommissioning has risen up the agenda for both Governments and oil and gas operators, the countries of Southeast Asia have adopted differing frameworks for the planning, permitting and execution of the decommissioning process. This paper presents a review of the frameworks adopted by a number of the key oil and gas countries in the region by reference to the legislative and guidance instruments to which they are signatories or have introduced, and the authors’ experience of working with Governments and oil and gas operators. The paper illustrates that countries such as Thailand, Malaysia and Brunei Darussalam are actively developing legislative and guidance frameworks with broadly common requirements, and identifies that opportunities exist for increased information sharing and capability building within and between countries in the region, to further encourage consistent, cost and time efficient outcomes.

Published: November 2018

Abstract
Among all risks that may posed to offshore platforms, one of severest is ship collision that associated with huge physical and financial damages. An oil tanker collided with a jacket on the South Pars gas field in 2015. The operator faced the challenges of killing a perforated HPHT gas well, wreck removal of platform, plug back and securing the remained wells that all were drastically damaged. The operation had to deal with harsh offshore weather conditions, lack of offshore facilities, put a balance cement plug using coiled tubing in the HT brine medium, lack of a straight path for coiled tubing run in hole, and had to provide an operational safe method while keeping the highest quality.
A dynamic positioning multi-purpose barge used in this operation in conjunction with a new designed deck for well intervention. A flexible hose connected from the designed deck bottom to inside the 10 3/4″ casing cut entrance, to prepare a straight path for coiled tubing string.
A gas tight and right angle set cement slurry designed in order to prevent unpredicted gas migration. The coiled tubing cementing operation and fluids hydraulic designed to have uncontaminated and stable slurry column at the end of the displacement in the brine medium. This goal achieved by using compatible high viscous pill and mud push fluids in bottom and top of cement slurry column to prevent instability, fingering, falling downwards, and consequently contamination of cement slurry with brine. The displacement and pull-out-of-the-hole method also designed in such a way to minimize the risk of flash setting of cement slurry in high temperature brine medium. This method prevents sticking of coiled tubing string while its maintain the stability of fluids interfaces.
This paper is a detailed description of all the operational and engineering challenges after the collision and the methods to overcome them except wreck removal and tie back phases. The advantages of using these novel concepts resulted in an operational safe method for salvage operation and securing the wells. This paper can be used as a guideline when encountered with such rare situation.
Estimating Cost and Commercial Risks of North Sea Decommissioning Projects: Lessons Learnt for Asia Pacific
Authors: Wan Ullok Stephanie Marie 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
The Cost Estimate is an essential document in the preparation of decommissioning cost projects and entails the quantification of commercial and schedule risks. This study lists the Lessons Learnt from the preparation of Cost Estimates for North Sea decommissioning studies. It reviews on a holistic manner the considerations by Estimators on the impact of statutory and contracting regime and the major influences of cost in decommissioning. This study also proposes theoretical cost savings and efficiencies currently being explored in the North Sea.
This study was conducted via interviews with a leader in North Sea decommissioning as well as extensive research of journals and web-based articles and releases. The identification of major cost elements which influenced decommissioning cost applied probabilistic analysis using Monte Carlo simulation.
Following the processing of data received, the author then applied the results to current conditions in Asia Pacific by considering the related challenges faced (and anticipated) by the region's offshore decommissioning industry.
The Lessons Learnt have been summarized into 5 main areas: Development of the Cost Estimate: Areas that have been highlighted as potential hazards include the preparation of the accuracy of estimates and cost consolidation over multiple projects. Suggestions are made to include the application of probabilistic analysis in cost estimates, a process to challenge cost-driving assumptions and adopting integrated Cost & Schedule Risk analysis in the development of the cost estimate.Collaboration and Data Analytics: The report highlights the opportunities that regional collaboration can drive a richer environment for data analytics. In the North Sea, organisations including the Oil and Gas Authority (UK) and the OSPAR commission have been tasked with centralising and disseminating.Statutory Regime: it is imperative to remind ourselves in this region that operators, and contractors, in the North Sea have had to keep up with changes in regulations and ever greater environmental obligations.Contracting Regime: Consideration of Contingent Liabilities and financial responsibility for decommissioning, even those who have sold, relinquished or otherwise disposed of their license is discussed. Contracting Strategies as well as the use of Decision Trees, Project Controls and Project Management in contract preparation and insurances are discussed.Adoption of Circular Economy Principles: Findings in the North Sea suggest that increasing re-use over the recycling of equipment and structures on installations can increase values by between five and seven times.
Comparison of Offshore Abandonment Projects in Indonesia: The Evaluation, Challenges and Effectiveness

Published: November 2018

Abstract
Conduct comparative evaluations of offshore wells abandonment projects on either platform or underwater, whether rig or rigless. Identify challenges and effectiveness in terms of operations and costs. Discuss the preparations to be made before the work and the procedures to be done.
Based on data of the offshore wells abandonment which were conducted between 2014-2017 in Indonesian waters, classification was made on subsea and platform, then differentiated the water depth and the total well depth, and are grouped to its method with the rig or rigless. Then look at the problems in the well. Money spent is also a point of comparison for evaluation. Plugging procedures refer to national and international standards that are recognized. Evaluating the work schedule of each group were assessed.
There is a very clear distinction between the well abandonment on subsea and those on the platform. Also there are some differences between the use of the rig with rigless. This study illustrates how much it will cost to cover the well and also recommends work in the form of a project campaign to achieve its effectiveness.
Plugging and abandoning the wells are commonly done on wells that are no longer expected to be productive. This comparative evaluation helps to illustrate how effectively doing the well abandonment works in the form of a project campaign.
An Alternative Approach to Well Re-Entry and Permanent Well Abandonment from a Monohull Vessel in the UK Continental Shelf
Authors: Canny Steven A. 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
Post COP (cessation-of-production) operations are a source of expenditure with no financial return. Therefore, the focus on the cost of operations and technology is acute. The permanent abandonment of subsea wells can involve significant expense, with project logistics, interfaces and the high number of parties involved contributing to the project cost. As such, new project execution models have been developed to reduce the conveyance cost, and reduce the project interfaces.
The paper presents a novel project-managed execution model to safely execute Phase III well-abandonment operations and annulus fluid removal for surface disposal. The project used a monohull service vessel and new market technology to successfully abandon wells compliant to local and international legislation and standards. Using technology from alternative exploration sectors, allied to existing well-construction technology, presents a system that is capable of subsea well re-entry and pressure containment, to perform the permanent abandonment and safely dispose of well fluids to surface. Tubular milling, cutting and open-water recovery operations are presented and discussed, with the engineering and quality, health, safety and environment (QHSE) drivers highlighted.
Five wells were selected for the Phase III well abandonment operations using a bespoke system that was integrated into a monohull vessel, which resulted in a reduced day rate compared to a semi-submersible rig. The technology solutions taken from alternative exploration sectors are presented, and the integration to a vessel of opportunity, to provide a marine vessel with a heave compensated hoisting system and tubular handling capabilities. For well re-entry, a pressure-containing re-entry workstring is used, conveyed on drillpipe. The pressure-containing, circulation and disconnection capabilities are presented, along with how potentially pressurized and harmful wellbore fluids are taken back to the vessel for disposal. Multi-annuli perforation technology, which allows a multi-annuli well barrier to be set across the wellbore, is also described.
With five wells successfully completed, the key performance indicators (KPIs) are discussed, and project lessons learned are presented.
