Published: August 2018

ObjectivesWe investigated the prevalence and impact of sarcopenia on disease‐free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in advanced oropharyngeal cancer.Study DesignRetrospective study.SettingSingle‐institution tertiary cancer care center.Subjects and MethodsWe identified patients with advanced oropharyngeal cancer with pretreatment positron emission tomography–computed tomography scans for image analysis. Data were collected on the following variables: age, sex, smoking and alcohol status, stage (TNM and American Joint Committee on Cancer), human papillomavirus (HPV) status, body mass index (BMI), and treatment modality.ResultsOf 113 patients identified with oropharyngeal cancer, 32 had sarcopenia: these patients were older (63.5 vs 57.6 years, P =. 01), were less likely to be male (53.1% vs 76.5%, P =. 03), and had a lower mean BMI (24.5 vs 28.4 kg/m2, P =. 009). Eighty‐five subjects had HPV‐positive disease, and they had a higher BMI (28.2 vs 24.2 kg/m2, P =. 01) than that of patients without HPV. Twenty‐one subjects who were HPV positive had less cancer recurrence (24.7% vs 48.1%, P =. 04) than that of their HPV‐negative counterparts. Log‐rank testing showed no difference in DFS (P =. 06) associated with sarcopenia but a significant difference in OS (P =. 049). There were differences in DFS (P =. 009) and OS (P =. 023) based on HPV status. According to univariable and multivariable models, HPV positivity exhibited improved DFS and OS. Sarcopenia was not statistically significant in survival models; however, it was associated with increased mortality and recurrence.ConclusionSarcopenia is a prognostic factor affecting OS independent of HPV status in advanced oropharyngeal cancer.
Positive bias for European men in peer reviewed applications for faculty position at Karolinska Institutet
Authors: Holst Sarah , Hägg Sara 
Published: August 2018

Background: Sweden is viewed as an egalitarian country, still most of the professors are Swedish and only 25% are women. Research competence is evaluated using peer review, which is regarded as an objective measure in the meritocracy system. Here we update the investigation by Wold & Wennerås (1997) on women researcher’s success rate for obtaining a faculty position, by examining factors (gender, nationality, productivity, etc.) in applications for an Assistant Professorship in 2014 at Karolinska Institutet. Methods: Fifty-six applications, 26 Swedish and 21 women applicants, were scored both on merits and projects by six external reviewers. Additional variables, including grants and academic age, calculated as the number of years since PhD excluding parental or sick leave, were gathered. Productivity was assessed by calculating a composite bibliometric score based on six factors (citations, publications, first/last authorships, H-index, high impact publication). Results: Overall, academic age was negatively correlated with scores on merits, as assessed by peer review, although not reaching statistical significance. In men, associations between scores on merits and productivity (P-value=0.0004), as well as having received grants (P-value=0.009) were seen. No associations were found for women. Moreover, applicants with a background from the Middle East were un-proportionally found in the lowest quartile (Fisher exact test P-value=0.007). Conclusions: In summary, the gender inequality shown in peer review processes in Sweden 20 years ago still exists. Furthermore, a bias for ethnicity was found. In order to keep the best scientific competence in academia, more efforts are needed to avoid selection bias in assessments to enable equal evaluations of all researchers.
Noncontact Method of Conducting Elements “Writing” on Insulating Ge–Sb–Te Matrix Using a Laser Beam
Authors: Khodorov S. , Karpovski M. , Feldman I. , Shelukhin V. 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
Direct writing of low resistance wires on an amorphous Ge-Sb-Te matrix is reported. A 1342 nm continuous wave laser was used for local heating of the sample to form these wires. Mechanical contact was not needed for making the conducting elements. The properties of the samples were investigated down to 1.4 K and the laser conditions required for the writing of low resistance GST wires were found. The results are discussed with a view to possible applications, such as connectors and electrical wires made only via remote light exposure of the samples to make different resistors and non-linear elements
Study on a Quasi-Two-Dimensional Fan Model for Variant Bypass-Ratio Condition
Authors: Fu Dawei , Wang Yong , Zhang Haibo , Zheng Qiangang 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
In order to describe how the variant BPR affects the flow performance, a qusi-2D fan model was proposed. In the model, the stage cumulative method was applied to compute axial flow and the simplified radial equilibrium equation was applied to compute radial flow, then a dual-level iteration program was proposed for the nominal performance calculation. To compute the non-nominal flow characteristics on non-nominal BPR, a triple-level iteration program with the compensation factor was proposed to obtain the radial profiles. On that basis, Blade angles were designed for this model on the design point. With the inflow deflection factor designed as 0.8 and the loss factor along blade as 0.95, the pressure ratio error is only 0.21 % and the isentropic efficiency error is 0.06 %. Simulation showed that the variant-BPR profiles and the overall characteristics of flow at fan exit or for bypass & core ducts could be well computed with much less time-consuming.
Kulturelle und ökonomische Bedrohung. Eine Analyse der Ursachen der Parteiidentifikation mit der „Alternative für Deutschland“ mit dem Sozio-oekonomischen Panel 2016
Authors: Lengfeld Holger , Dilger Clara 
Published: August 2018

Zusammenfassung
Wir diskutieren und testen zwei Thesen zur Identifikation mit der AfD, in denen die Einstellung zu Flüchtlingen in Deutschland eine zentrale Rolle einnimmt. Nach der Modernisierungsverliererthese lehnen Personen mit niedrigem sozialen Status die Fluchtzuwanderung als Konkurrenzanstieg um Arbeitsplätze und Sozialleistungen ab. Die These der kulturellen Bedrohung besagt, dass eine neue Spaltungslinie zwischen Kosmopoliten und Kommunitaristen entstanden ist, wobei letztere u. a. die Flüchtlingszuwanderung als Gefahr für die kulturelle Homogenität der Gesellschaft ablehnen. Anhand des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels 2016 finden wir regressionsanalytisch einen starken direkten Effekt der Ablehnung von Flüchtlingszuwanderung auf die Wahrscheinlichkeit, sich mit der AfD zu identifizieren. Zudem zeigt sich ein schwächerer, über die Einstellung zur Flüchtlingszuwanderung vermittelter Statuseffekt. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass die These der kulturellen Bedrohung größere Evidenz beansprucht.

Published: August 2018

in the context of optimizing the financial mechanisms of the national healthcare system, introducing the single-channel financial principle and further developing the insurance-based medicine in Russia, a competent financial accounting becomes an important element of the entire healthcare system.Aim – compare the economic effectiveness of various methods of closing a loop ileostomy.Materials and methods. The study included 327 patients randomized into 3 groups. in group 1, the closure of an ileostomy was performed manually with the formation of an end-to-end ileo-ileoastomosis; in group 2, the anastomosis was formed in the ”side by side” manner; and in group 3, a semi-automated surgical technique was used for the anastomosis formation.Results. The average cost of the treatments (per patient) in groups 1 and 2 was 131,704.90 rubles. and 145,473.70 rubles, respectively, while in group 3, the cost was higher – 167,443,60 rubles (p <0,001). This cost increase in Group 3 was mainly due to the cost of a disposable stapler and cassettes.Conclusion. The formation of a manual ileoileoanastomosis of the end-to-end type was less budget-consuming in comparison with the other methods. The semi-automated procedure based on disposable parts was the most expensive method of closing a loop ileostomy.

Published: August 2018

The aim – to review and analyze the data on the long-term population-based efficiency of the screening procedures and other measures implemented according to Stage 1 periodical health checkup in the Russian Federation (by Order №36ан of 2015).Material and methods. This systematic search was carried out independently by two authors who used four databases: Scientific electronic Library, Cochrane Library, Medline/PubMed, and USPSTF. They looked into systematic reviews quoted by these sources. The criteria of the screening efficacy were the total / specific mortality and disability. The quality of the systematic reviews was assessed by the two authors using the international AMSTAR questionnaire.Results. According to the specific mortality rate, only the fecal occult blood test and the abdominal aorta ultrasonography are found to be efficient as screening methods for certain age and gender groups. The methodological quality of the studied reviews is high or medium to high. As follows from these high quality studies, the efficacy of mammography in female populations remains to be proven.

Published: August 2018

A presente pesquisa expõe uma análise a respeito de como as diversas manifestações do design podem influenciar no desempenho dos alunos da Educação a Distância e como estes discentes percebem a disposição dos conteúdos nas salas de aulas virtuais. Na execução deste trabalho, a evasão também foi evidenciada, de modo que não se poderia deixar de investigá-la. Com isso, o objetivo do estudo foi estabelecer uma relação direta entre o design da sala de aula e o nível satisfatório de aceitabilidade/interesse/motivação com o ambiente virtual de aprendizagem. Obviamente que essas variáveis estão ligadas diretamente a causas de evasão. Sendo assim, constatou-se que a disposição dos conteúdos e a forma como as salas de aulas virtuais são postas influenciam no interesse pelas disciplinas e, consequentemente, podem alterar as estatísticas de evasão. Como pressuposto metodológico para a execução da investigação, foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica em conjunto com a aplicação de questionário eletrônico, direcionado para os diversos atores da modalidade: educandos, professores, coordenadores e tutores do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia da Paraíba. Assim, concluiu-se que existem muitas variáveis para determinar a permanência ou a evasão nos cursos a distância, todavia, o arranjo da plataforma e das salas virtuais são de suma importância para auxiliar no êxito do alunado em geral. Palavras-chave: design e evasão, novo aluno da EaD, sala de aula virtual. Virtual Classroom Design for the New Profile of Distance Learning StudentAbstractThe proposed research analyzes how the design showing may reflect in the performance of distance learning student and how those students perceive the content arrangement in the virtual classrooms. During this research education dropout was highlighted, demanding special attention. Thus, the objective of the study was to establish a direct relationship between the design of the classroom and the satisfactory level of acceptability/interest/motivation with the virtual learning environment. Obviously, these variables are directly linked to causes of evasion. This way, it was verified that the content arrangement and the way the virtual classrooms are disposed influence the interest for the subjects and consequently reflects in the dropout statistics. As methodological assumption for this research it was carried out a bibliographic review and an electronic survey with the involved parts: students, professors, coordinators, and tutors in the Federal institute of education, science and technology of Paraiba state. Thus, the research showed the existence of several factors to determine the stay or dropout of a student in a distance learning course. However, the course organization and the virtual classroom arrangement are essential for the student success. Keywords: design and dropout, new distance learning student, virtual classroom
REDIMENSIONANDO A FORMAÇÃO DE PROFESSORES E O FAZER DOCENTE A PARTIR DA PEDAGOGIA DA ESCUTA
Authors: Machado Niqueli Streck , Barbosa Maria Carmen Silveira 
Published: August 2018

Este artigo apresenta reflexões sobre como a escuta das crianças pode contribuir para repensar a formação inicial e continuada de professores[1] e consolidar a especificidade do fazer docente na Educação Infantil. Visando aos objetivos do estudo, adota uma metodologia interpretativa, que segue percursos próximos ao círculo hermenêutico. Compreende a docência com crianças como uma prática relacional, que se realiza desde o estar com as crianças. É, portanto, um saber que se produz em contexto e que exige que os professores aprendam a escutar as crianças para constituírem seu modo artesanal de ser docente, sua artesania docente. As conclusões mostram que compreender o que significa uma Pedagogia da Escuta é necessidade imediata no sentido de apontar proposições para a formação inicial e continuada de professores, e redimensionar o fazer docente como um compromisso fundamental para pensar uma Pedagogia da Infância.[1] Tendo em vista a sugestão das organizadoras do Dossiê para que nos manifestássemos sobre o uso do masculino genérico no texto, consideramos que nos pareceu mais interessante usar esta estratégia gramatical de escrita que adotar o esquema binário – professor e professora ou professor/a – que determina as posições de gênero ou identidades sexuais, desconsiderando as ambiguidades de muitos daqueles que escolheram viver nas bordas, nos muros e nas fronteiras. Também, como diria Fúlvia Rosemberg, oferece mais fluência ao texto.
‘…And yes, i was in the building’ (9-11-2001): thematic selections in personal recounts of a tragedy
Authors: Recski Leonardo Juliano 
Published: August 2018

Em lingüística sistêmica, a estrutura temática é vista como o ponto de partida para a manifestação de experiências em uma oração. A estrutura temática é empregada por escritores a fim de prover uma base estrutural para o seu discurso, que pode se relacionar ao que o antecede, ou oferecer uma indicação sobre o que vem a seguir. Este artigo investiga quatro narrativas pessoais do trágico atentado de 9 de Setembro de 2001 a fim de sumarizar como elas são tipicamente caracterizadas em relação às informações contidas em seus Temas. Os resultados demonstram que com relação a características gramaticais e lexico-semânticas, os Temas nestas narrativas são fundamentalmente estruturados para apresentar eventos seqüenciais e priorizar quando as coisas acontecem, onde os eventos ocorrem e quem está envolvido. Com base nos resultados, sugere-se que a compreensão de como o ordenamento de elementos lingüísticos funciona, em diferentes gêneros em inglês, na condução dos leitores e na sinalização e organização de significados, pode oferecer a escritores uma ferramenta importante para criar e gerenciar os significados de seus textos.
Grammatical competence and parsing performance
Authors: Pagani Luiz Arthur 
Published: August 2018

Apesar de ter sido publicado em 1992, o que poderia significar que já estivesse ultrapassado, este livro aborda uma questão ainda pouco difundida entre os lingüistas brasileiros, e aponta para uma implicação séria entre a teoria e a análise gramatical, que também tem recebido um tratamento descuidado na tradição lingüística brasileira.

Published: August 2018

* Decompressive surgical procedures for degenerative spondylolisthesis are supported by Level-II evidence demonstrating a sustained benefit compared with nonoperative care.* Decompression and arthrodesis have a proven role for select cases of degenerative spondylolisthesis, but recent Level-I evidence comparing decompression alone with decompression and arthrodesis is conflicting with regard to the clinical benefit for stable grade-I or grade-II degenerative spondylolisthesis.* The addition of segmental arthrodesis increases operative time, blood loss, length of stay, and hospital charges.* Among patients undergoing arthrodesis, Level-I evidence supports inferior outcomes in patients with radiographic pseudarthrosis.* A multitude of techniques exist to achieve segmental lumbar fusion; no strong evidence supports any single operative technique for providing superior clinical outcomes.

Anomaly of Law Enforcement in Basuki Tjahaja Purnama Case
Authors: Ersya Muhammad Prima 
Published: August 2018

The case of former Jakarta governor Basuki Tjahaya Purnama began when he spoke in Kepu-lauan Seribu on September 27, 2016, quoting a verse of the Holy Qur'an that was deemed to have no relevance to the purpose of his arrival which became the basis of the allegation on de-famation against religion as defined in Article 156a of the Criminal Code. As a follow-up of the case, the legal process for the report is conducted and immediately becomes the focus of community concentration. However, in the case of law enforcement process is considered to have some peculiarities and deviate from the principle or principle of criminal procedural law. This is what makes this case interesting to investigate further by using seve-ral instruments related legislation, such as Law No. 8 of 1981 About Criminal Procedure Law. The paper is discussed using the normative juridical approach that focuses on reviewing violations of the principle or principle of criminal procedural law in the law enforcement of religion defama-tion by Basuki Tjahaya Purnama. In the future it is hoped that the negligence of application of the principle or principle of criminal procedure does not happen again.

ABSTRAK
Kasus Mantan Gubernur DKI Jakarta Basuki Tjahaya Purnama diawali saat ia berbicara di Kepulauan Seribu pada tanggal 27 September 2016 dan mengutip salah satu ayat Kitab Suci Al Qur’an yang dianggap tidak memiliki relevansi dengan tujuan kedatangannya, sehingga hal tersebut dijadikan dasar laporan atas dugaan tindak pidana penistaan terhadap agama sebagaimana yang dirumuskan dalam Pasal 156a Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana. Sebagai bentuk tindak lanjut dari kasus tersebut, maka proses hukum untuk laporan tersebut dilakukan dan langsung menjadi fokus konsentrasi masyarakat. Namun dalam hal proses penegakan hukumnya dinilai memiliki beberapa ke-janggalan dan menyimpang dari asas atau prinsip hukum acara pidana. Hal inilah yang membuat kasus ini menarik untuk diteliti lebih lanjut dengan menggunakan beberapa instrumen peraturan perundang-undangan yang terkait, diantaranya adalah Undang-Undang Nomor 8 Tahun 1981 Tentang Hukum Acara Pidana. Pembahasan dalam tulisan ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode pendekatan yuridis normatif yang fokus menelaah pelanggaran terhadap asas atau prinsip hukum acara pidana di dalam penegakan hukum kasus penistaan agama oleh Basuki Tjahaya Purnama. Sehingga dikemudian hari diharapkan kelalaian penerapan asas atau prinsip hukum acara pidana tidak terulang lagi.
