Porphyry, the Cave of the Nymphs, and the Mysteries of Mithras
Authors: Albanese Luciano 
Published: September 2019

Summary
Porphyry's Cave of Nymphs is dedicated to deciphering the philosophical and theological significance of the cave described by Homer in the Thirteenth Canto of the Odyssey. However, within the exegesis of the Homeric cave awaits another exegesis concerning the cave in which Mithras sacrifices the bull and in which the initiation of the worshippers and the common meal take place.
According to Porphyry, the cave of the Nymphs is the place in which the worshippers were initiated into the platonic mystery of the descent and ascent of souls. Mithras, assimilated to the Demiurge of the Timaeus, generates souls by killing the bull he has caught, ridden and dragged into the cave which symbolises the cosmos. The souls, which are created by the bull/moon like bees in a sort of bougonia (cf. Virgil, Georgics IV), and which are animated by his blood, descend into the cycle of generation and incarnation and are dragged down by Boreas, the cold wind that keeps them cool in the place of earthly generation. After successive reincarnations the warm wind of Notus dissolves the carnal vestments that imprison them and returns them to the heat of the Sun.
Conclusion. After the comparison between the text of Porphyry and the CIMRM will show that the theme of the descent and ascent of souls is very weak in Mithraic finds, and the reading of tauroctony as bougonia remains deprived of iconographic evidence. To sum up, The Cave of the Nymphs is more relevant to the history of Platonism than to the history of Mithraicism.
The Modena Relief: A Mystery of What?
Authors: Osek Ewa 
Published: September 2019

Summary
The subject of my paper concerns the iconography of the mysterious relief at Modena (Galleria Museo e Medagliere Estense, inv. 2676) showing a young god in a cosmic egg. The paper is to review the state of research in modern scholarship since 1863, to discuss various attempts at its interpretation, and to propose my own working hypothesis, which links the Modena relief to the Orphic Rhapsodies and the Middle-Platonic passage transmitted by Porphyry of Tyre in his The Cave of the Nymphs 21–29.
Symbols of Identity and Culture of the Monogram in the Late Antique Mithraism
Authors: David Massimiliano , Melega Alessandro 
Published: September 2019

Summary
The highest number of mithraea in urban context of the ancient world come from Ostia. Although we do not know the whole city, mithraea have been found in all districts of the town. The spread and fortune of the Mithraic worship are also attested by the plenteous epigraphic and sculptural materials. This research deals with the Mithraism at Ostia, focusing on the particular case of monograms, just mentioned by Giovanni Becatti in his seminal work about mithraea at Ostia, dating back to more than sixty years ago. After the recent discovery of the Mithraeum of colored marbles by the archaeologists of the Ostia Marina Project (University of Bologna), it seems necessary to examine and contextualize the phenomenology of Mithraic monograms at Ostia, as is done in relation to similar processes which involve the Christian world.

Authors: Prasad Maya , Baheti Akshay , Ramadwar Mukta , Chinnaswamy Girish , Vora Tushar , Qureshi Sajid 
Published: September 2019

Abstract

Background
Nuclear protein of the testis (NUT) carcinoma is a rare and aggressive malignancy associated with rearrangements of the nuclear protein of the testis (NUT) gene on chromosome 15q14. Because of its rarity, this tumor is often underdiagnosed and underreported, and there is limited literature regarding its biology and optimal management.

Methods and Results
We report our experience of five patients with pediatric NUT carcinoma, all of whom presented with midline head and neck mass. In spite of aggressive multimodality treatment, only one patient survives.

Conclusion
NUT carcinoma has a dismal prognosis in spite of aggressive multimodality management (surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy and/or radiation). Novel strategies are required to improve outcomes of patients with this tumor.
Perbandingan Biaya Jaringan dan Kelayakan Teknologi LTE pada Frekuensi 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz, & 2300 MHz untuk Mendukung Rencana Pita Lebar di Indonesia
Authors: Ariyanti Sri 
Published: September 2019

AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan membandingkan besarnya biaya penyelenggaraan teknologi LTE pada pita frekuensi 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz, dan 2300 MHz. Selain itu, dilakukan cost benefit analysis untuk melihat kelayakan bisnis teknologi LTE pada frekuensi tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan melakukan perhitungan link budget dan capacity dimensioning untuk memperoleh jumlah infrastruktur yang dibutuhkan, serta melakukan perhitungan biaya dan pendapatan untuk dilakukan cost benefit analysis (CBA). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pembiayaan operasional terbesar pada pembangunan jaringan LTE adalah BHP, kemudian disusul dengan harga sewa site. Biaya terbesar ada pada penggunaan pita frekuensi 2100 MHz dikarenakan BHP pita tersebut paling tinggi dibanding dengan frekuensi lainnya. Dari keempat frekuensi tersebut, frekuensi 2300 MHz paling layak digunakan, karena nilai BHP yang paling rendah dibanding frekuensi yang lain. Berdasarkan hasil perhitungan, pembangunan jaringan LTE pada keempat frekuensi tersebut layak dilakukan, dengan internal rate of return (IRR) terbesar pada pita frekuensi 2300 MHz. AbstractThis study aims to compare the cost of developing LTE technology at 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz, and 2300 MHz frequencies. In addition, cost-benefit analysis is carried out to find the feasibility of LTE technology business at those frequencies. This study uses a quantitative approach by conducting link budget and capacity dimensioning to obtain the number of cellular infrastructures. This study identifies and calculates cost and revenue for conducting cost-benefit analysis (CBA). The result shows that the most significant operational cost of LTE network development is BHP frequency (frequency license fee,) followed by site leasing cost. The most significant cost of LTE planning development from those frequencies is at 2100 MHz, because the frequency license fee of that frequency is the most expensive one among the other frequencies. The frequency of 2300 MHz is the most feasible frequency to use, since the frequency 2300 MHz license fee is the cheapest one among the other frequencies. According to the calculation result, LTE development at those frequencies is feasible, with the largest internal rate of return (IRR) is in the frequency of 2300 MHz.

Di Indonesia, tidak semua daerah telah terintegrasi oleh jaringan 4G LTE dengan baik, sehingga memerlukan perencanaan 4G LTE yang tepat. Penelitian ini melakukan perancangan penambahan eNodeB baru dengan metode fronthaul microwave 4G LTE, dengan tujuan untuk memperbaiki bad coverage pada suatu area melalui peningkatan coverage dan kapasitas jaringan. Link fronthaul menggunakan frekuensi 71 GHz, penempatannya dengan menggunakan metode drive test untuk mencari bad coverage di Purwokerto Utara, Purwokerto Barat, dan Purwokerto Selatan. Hasil dari penentuan daerah bad coverage kemudian dibuat site hop berdasarkan site existing terdekat dengan daerah bad coverage tersebut. Dari hasil simulasi menggunakan Atoll 3.3.0, rata-rata kenaikan RSRP setelah ditambahkan fronthaul RSRP-nya, -91,7 dBm, naik 20%, dan CINR sebesar 13,95 dB, kenaikan sebesar 12%. Sedangkan untuk throughput, mengalami kenaikan setelah ditambahkan fronthaul, rata-rata menjadi 90,75 Mbps, dari 52,12 Mbps, naik 72%. Untuk simulasi link fronthaul microwave 71 GHz, level daya terima saat tidak terjadi hujan, sebesar rata-rata RSL -27,52 dBm, dan pada saat hujan, RSL turun, -58,17 dBm, dari ambang batas minimum -48 dBm. Untuk keandalan sistem, mendapat annual multipath availability pada 6 hop sebesar 99,999%, akan tetapi pada annual rain, availability rata-rata sebesar 99,90%. In Indonesia, not all regions have been integrated by the 4G LTE network, so it needs the optimal 4G LTE Planning. In this study, we plan the new eNodeB with fronthaul microwave 4G LTE method to solve the bad coverage problem in certain area by increasing coverage and capacity network with this method. The fronthaul links uses 71 GHz frequency and the placement of this link uses the drive test method to look for bad coverage in the North Purwokerto, West Purwokerto, and South Purwokerto. The results of the bad coverage were then used as a hopping site based on the site closest to the area's bad coverage. From the simulation results using Atoll 3.3.0, the average RSRP increases after fronthaul RSRP added, -91.7 dBm, up 20%, and CINR by 13.95 dB, rose by 12%. While for throughput, increased after adding fronthaul, on average to 90.75 Mbps, from 52.12 Mbps, up 72%. For the 71 GHz fronthaul microwave link simulation, the level of receiving power when there is no rain, RSL -27.52 dBm on average, and when it rains, RSL drops, -58.17 dBm, from the minimum threshold of -48 dBm. For system feasibility, the availability of annual multipath at six hops is 99.999%, but on average annual rainfall, availability is 99.90%.

Authors: Ekanga Georgette Ndongo , Gonsu Kamga Hortense , Same Ekobo Albert , Baiye William , Ntsomboh-Ntsefong Godswill , Essomba Arthur , Nukenine Elias 
Published: September 2019

Background: Nosocomial infection’s (NIs) data are scarce in developing countries. In some of these countries, national guidelines for its prevention by health facilities have introduced surveillance recommendations including Infection Control Assessment Tool (ICAT). The aim of our study was to evaluate the compliance levels of NIs recommendations.
Methodology: We conducted a cross-sectional study from September to December 2018 in 10 health facilities in Yaounde. A checklist with two modules from the ICAT (Health Facility information and Infection Control Program) was used to determine the degree of compliance towards the recommendations by performing interviews, observations and consultation of documents.
Results: Sixty (60) % of health facilities are aware of the national guidelines and regulation on the fight against NIs but only 30% have adopted them. Accreditation standards applicable to health facilities are not known by any of the health facilities. The recommendations concerning demographic characteristics, water supply and the general characteristics on rooms were generally respected (more than 50%) in 90% of the health facilities. 100% of health facilities had less than fifty (50)% compliance level for the fight against NIs recommendations with compliance levels below 15% for 50% of them. This worst compliance (less than 15%) was especially observed with recommended practices concerning responsibilities and authorities (40% of health facilities), functionality of infection and control committees (50% of health facilities), key personnel responsible for fight against NIs (30% of health facilities) and study of outbreaks and surveillance of NIs (100% of health facilities). Training programs on fight against NIs had better scores (30% of health facilities with more than 50% of compliance levels). The Fischer test shows that there is a significant relationship between the compliance with all these recommended practices and the health facility capacity (P= 0, 0476) .
Conclusion: NIs control programs in Yaounde health facilities are insufficient. Awareness, training, promotion and follow-up actions are necessary for the understanding and adoption of recommendations on the monitoring of NIs.
