Introduction: Isolated terminal ileal ulcers (ITIUs) are being frequently encountered by the clinicians with the increasing numbers of ileal intubation during colonoscopies. This study was aimed at finding the etiologies of these ulcers in symptomatic patients and their association with various clinical features.
Methods: This was a hospital based prospective, observational, descriptive study performed on all consecutive patients who underwent ileocolonoscopy for various gastrointestinal symptoms between 1 July 2018 and 30 June 2019. Clinical, endoscopic and histopathological findings were analyzed to determine the etiology of ITIUs in symptomatic patients. Statistical analysis was done by SPSS 20.
Results: Among 60 (7.67%) of 782 symptomatic patients who had ITIUs on ileocolonoscopy, specific etiologies were established in 28 (46.67%) of them. Intestinal TB was the most common specific diagnosis, which was seen in 18 (30%) patients. Chronic abdominal pain with or without chronic diarrhea was the most common indication for ileocolonoscopy.
Conclusions: Specific etiologies like tuberculosis, Crohn’s disease, NSAID-induced ulcer and intestinal spirochetosis were seen in 28 (46.67%) of patients with isolated terminal ileal ulcers. The most common clinical features were chronic abdominal pain (65%) and abdominal pain with diarrhea (16.7%). No clinical presentation was significantly associated with any specific etiology, thus emphasizing the need for routine ileal intubation and tissue sampling for histopathological examination in all symptomatic patients undergoing colonoscopy.
Opportunities and Challenges of Allocation of Alternative Energy Resources in Japan
Authors: Snyder Karin 
Published: September 2019

In the case of Japan, which lacks any significant fossil fuel reserves (Gasparatos & Gadda, 2009, pp. 4038-4048) some alternative forms of energy production have been implemented. Japan has implemented alternative energy options such as nuclear power, photovoltaic power, hydroelectric power, and other various energy alternatives and renewable resources. These alternatives have the potential to lessen climate change. Japan is becoming an example of the economic and environmental outcomes associated with alternative energy sources. Following the Fukushima disaster, the Japanese government addressed the possibility of removing nuclear power from the energy mix entirely by 2040 (Hong et al., 2013, pp. 418-424). In May of 2012, a governmental advisory board announced its plans to replace nuclear power with a combination of renewable sources and imported fossil fuels by 2030 (Hong et al., pp. 2013, 418-424). Japan intends to supply ten percent of the country’s primary energy using renewable resources by 2020, under the Strategic Energy Plan of Japan (Japan Energy Report, 2013, pp. 1-31). As reported by the Japan Forum on International Relations in 2006, increased energy demands in Asia, accompanied with pressure to reduce carbon emissions, has created uncertainty surrounding Japan’s energy security since it has a large reliance on imported fossil fuels (Nasu & Faunce, 2013, pp. 68-74). The major goals of energy policy in Japan are energy security, economic development and environmental sustainability. To reach these goals, feed-in tariffs were approved by the Japanese government in the summer of 2012, in order to incentivize the use of renewable resources, especially photovoltaic power, and accelerate investment in renewable energy technologies (Frishberg, 2013, pp. 5-6). Since implementing these tariffs, Japan’s supply of solar generated power has grown by forty percent (Frishberg, 2013, pp. 5-6). There are many criteria that need to be met for efficient and useable sustainable energy technologies, such as accessibility to remote locales, user friendliness, adaptability to local conditions, efficiency and reliability (Balachandra et al., 2010, pp. 1842-1851). This criterion can be difficult to attain for large, growing populations.
The Technological Abyss: Heideggerian Ontology and Climate Change
Authors: Mazo Aaron 
Published: September 2019

Whenever a decision is made in a social, political, or economic context, it is implicitly grounded in
an ethical outlook. But where do these outlooks come from? To investigate this query, I examine
the basis for ethical decisions regarding technology, focusing specifically on geoengineering
responses to climate change. Subsequently, I argue that ethical considerations concerning climate
change, and their corresponding practical decisions, cannot be reliably made without sufficient
intelligibility regarding the objects and entities these decisions pertain to. To achieve this, I employ
a Heideggerian phenomenological framework through which being affords intelligibility. Doing so
elucidates fundamental inconsistencies in the way humans interact with technology. We are caught
up in what Heidegger calls enframing, the representation of beings as energy reserves. This is the
ground on which our ethical claims are based, but representation cannot afford actuality. When
things are represented in this way, truth is set aside in favour of will, and intelligibility is lost. The
goal, then—if we wish our ethical decisions to be legitimate—must be to gain intelligibility. We
must therefore free ourselves from enframing and look toward being. We cannot, as Heidegger
says, affect enframing’s removal, but we can prepare ourselves for such a change. Only once this
change occurs, can our relationship to technology be intelligible.
Recent advances in the management of cervical spondylotic myelopathy: bibliometric analysis and surgical perspectives
Authors: Chen Yu-Chun , Kuo Chao-Hung , Cheng Chieh-Ming , Wu Jau-Ching 
Published: September 2019

OBJECTIVECervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) has become a prevalent cause of spinal cord dysfunction among the aging population worldwide. Although great strides have been made in spine surgery in past decades, the optimal timing and surgical strategy to treat CSM have remained controversial. In this article the authors aimed to analyze the current trends in studies of CSM and to summarize the recent advances of surgical techniques in its treatment.METHODSThe PubMed database was searched using the keywords pertaining to CSM in human studies that were published between 1975 and 2018. Analyses of both the bibliometrics and contents, including the types of papers, authors, affiliations and countries, number of patients, and the surgical approaches were conducted. A systematic review of the literature was also performed with emphasis on the diagnosis and treatment of mild CSM.RESULTSA total of 1008 papers published during the span of 44 years were analyzed. These CSM studies mainly focused on the natural history, diagnosis, and treatment, and only a few prospective randomized trials were reported. For the authors and affiliations, there was a shift of clustering of papers toward Asian countries in the past decades. Regarding the treatment for CSM, there was an exponential growth of surgical series published, and there was a trend toward slightly more anterior than posterior approaches through the past decade. Patients with CSM had increased risks of neurological deterioration or spinal cord injury with nonoperative management. Because surgery might reduce the risks, and early surgery was likely to be correlated with better outcomes, there was a trend toward attention to mildly symptomatic CSM.CONCLUSIONSThere is emerging enthusiasm for research on CSM worldwide, with more publications originating in Asian countries over the past few decades. The surgical management of CSM is evolving continuously toward early and anterior approaches. More prospective investigations on the optimal timing and choices of surgery are therefore needed.
Dynamics of the number and nature management territory of Uilta (Oroks) of Sakhalin in the 19—21 centuries
Authors: Podmaskin V. V. 
Published: September 2019

Based on the generalization of information from Sakhalin researchers (ethnographers, historians, travelers, doctors) and the results of population censuses, the dynamics of the nature management area and the number of Uilta (Oroks) minority ethnic group of Sakhalin is examied. It is revealed that long-term living in the conditions of the island led to a number of original features of the traditional Uilta culture and successful adaptation to the ecological situation of Sakhalin. A gradual decrease in the number of Uilta and a reduction in the territory of resettlement is stated. It is shown that during the observed period, the nature management conditions of the Uilta on Sakhalin worsened, since the territory of resettlement and the number of population significantly decreased. Russian-Japanese territorial divisions of Sakhalin at the first part of the 20 century caused the formation of two isolated local Uilta groups. The small number of Uilta, significant changes in the settlement system and traditional nature management do not create the prospects for the existence and development of this ethnic group.
Geophysical paradigm of landscape: postulates and concepts
Authors: Sysuev V. V. 
Published: September 2019

Potential of advance in landscape science is associated with the synthesis of physical-mathematical, geophysical and empirical scientific directions on the basis of GIS technology. This stage is characterized as a geophysical paradigm of landscape science, a feature of which is a new understanding of the physical fundamentals, the need to consider landscapes as dynamic systems. Empirical theoretical concepts of physical geography enable us to apply physical laws to describe landscape structure and functioning. Land structures are described using independent morphometric parameters of geophysical force fields (gravity and insolation), which can be viewed as state parameters of geosystems. The modeling of landscape functioning in terms of continuum mechanics is closely related to the structure of landscapes through boundary conditions and distributed parameters of transfer processes. Verification and development of models requires the use of a complex of geophysical methods. Creating models in accordance with the principles of the irreversible thermodynamics is complete representation of the genesis of natural processes. The dualism and strong non-linearity necessitates the stochastic analysis of geosystems, including using the fractal methods.

Published: September 2019

Objectives: The aim of the study is to compare the efficiency of Ki-67 with special stains in the stroma of different grades of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) and to evaluate the influence of these changes in predicting the prognosis of these tumors.
Materials and Methods: A total of 30 cases of different grades of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma and 6 cases of control were sections and stained with Picrosirus red (PR), combined Alcian blue-periodic acid Schiff reagent (AB-PAS) and Immunohistochemical (IHC) marker Ki-67.
Results: Collagen fibre nature using PR stain and proliferative activity of malignant epithelial cells using IHC marker Ki-67 was found to be statistically significant. Mucin presence using AB-PAS was statistically insignificant.
Conclusion: Prognosis in different grades of oral squamous cell carcinoma can be accessed by change in collagen fibres birefringence, as the tumour progresses there is change from mature to immature collagen. Ki-67 is a good proliferative marker and shows that there is positive correlation with histological grading of oral squamous cell carcinoma. Presence of acidic or neutral mucin in OSCC needed to be further studied. For assessing the prognosis in different grades of OSCC, special stains can also be used.
Keywords: Collagen, Mucin, Squamous cell carcinoma, Ki-67.

Published: September 2019

This article discussed Blended Learning after the flourished utilization of Learning Management System (LMS) in English classrooms. LMS is found to be one of the efficient digital tools in delivering the content learning, especially English subject. Almost all language skills can be exploited by LMS. It provides English learning both synchronous and asynchronous modes; which meet the purpose of personalized learning. However, there still could be found that LMS has been mistakenly used and created blended learning becomes inefficient learning strategy in the classroom, mostly in face to face meetings. To tackle the problems, this paper attempts to propose the concept of face to face interactions in blended learning classroom. It will be seen from LMS’s ability in the classroom, characteristics of Generation Z students, and the demand of 21st century skills for future workforce.

Published: September 2019

Introdução: A lesão de pele é considerada crônica quando ultrapassa seis semanas para cicatrizar, sendo um problema de saúde pública, devido ao impacto psicológico, social e econômico para o paciente, com elevados e crescentes custos para o sistema de saúde. Objetivo: compreender as limitações no cotidiano das pessoas com lesões crônicas. Material e métodos: estudo descritivo, exploratório, de abordagem qualitativa, realizado em um município de Minas Gerais com nove usuários de uma unidade básica de saúde. Utilizou-se a entrevista aberta para a coleta de dados, que após transcrição na íntegra foram submetidas à Análise de Conteúdo na modalidade temática. Resultados: os indivíduos descreveram que a dor dificultava a realização dos afazeres domésticos e ocupacionais. A limitação de conviver com a lesão crônica também se relacionava com a dependência para realizar essas ativida­des. O afastamento social foi relatado pelos participantes devido ao odor e secreção, o que ocasionava a baixa autoestima. Conclusão: as lesões repercutem sobre as esferas psicoemocionais dos pacientes, com impactos negativos sobre a qualidade de vida. Demonstra, portanto, a importância do atendimento pautado no acolhimento humanizado e na escuta sensível durante todo o tratamento.

Published: September 2019

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the
antiproliferative activities of some the fruits, traditionally used in folk
medicine. Therefore, the
fruits of Fructus cynosbati (Rosehip), Rubus fruticosus (Blackberry), Sorbus torminalis (Wild service tree), Vaccinium myrtillus (Blueberry) and Vitis labrusca (Isabella grape) were used in the
present study.Material and Methods: Methanol extracts of the
fruits were obtained and added to ARPE-19 (no-trasformed) and HeLa
(transformed) culture media at various concentrations. Taxol and DMSO were used
as positive and negative controls, respectively. After 48 h of cell incubation,
the cytotoxic effect of the extracts was assessed by MTT. Cell viability values
​​were calculated for each group. The statistical analysis of the data was
performed using unpaired t-test. p values ​​less than 0.05 were considered
significant.Findings: V. labrusca showed dose dependent cytotoxic activity against both cell lines. In
additions, V. myrtillus and R. fruticosus extracts
exhibited moderate cytotoxic effect on both cell lines at higher concentrations.
Extracts of F. cynosbati and S. torminalis were found to decrease the cell
viability in a dose-dependent manner in HeLa cells and the results were
statistically significant (p &lt;0.05). Additionally, S. torminalis extract was found to be the most effective
extract against the HeLa cells.

Conclusion: These results demonsrated that S. torminalis methanol extract has a potent in vitro antiproliferative effect
toward the human cervical cancer cell line HeLa. Further work needs to be done
on isolation and purification of specific bioactive compounds in S. torminalis methanol extract.
