Parameters of National Independence may be observed from economic independence and quality of the available resource, both human resource and natural resource. Indonesia has an advantage both in a demographic and natural resource that varies widely in various rural areas. Therefore, it is fitting for Indonesia to position the rural as a great power that will contribute to the resilience of the national economy. In line with this principle, the development of rural independence is manifested in a legal codification specifically discussing rural which give output in form of rural Funds and Badan Usaha Milik Desa (BUMDes). The implementation of strengthening rural independence through BUMDes which has been going on for 3 years shows a less significant development by various causes. From the quality of the management of human resources to the business fields that are considered to require new innovations. Welcoming the era of Indonesia 4.0 BUMDes Pay that presented as a village-owned business which is engaged in finance or capital in the form of digital financial service and office-free financial services (Laku Pandai). This service is carried out to become a means of assisting the empowerment of rural communities to strengthen productivity in order to sustain the national economy. This research is carried out to become a means of assisting the empowerment of rural communities to strengthen productivity in order to sustain the national economy.

The result of the assessment obtained as a whole can be concluded to increase with the outcome of the activity, namely target participants have an understanding of entrepreneurial motivation increased from 0% to 100%, have an understanding of the form of legal entities, the understanding of the importance of having business licenses has increased from 50% to 100%, and the understanding of business licensing procedures has increased from 10% to 80%.
Gathering up the Fragments after Boko Haram
Authors: Ahimah Anthonia O. , Shotts D'Anna K. 
Published: March 2019

Almost everyone has heard of the deadly terror group Boko Haram, which began to gain world attention in 2009. Their impact on northeastern Nigeria has been devastating: lives lost and disrupted, properties destroyed, culture and history eradicated by violence. Though they no longer hold territory, in 2014-15 Boko Haram controlled an area the size of Belgium, and also carried out multiple violent attacks in surrounding areas. The Northeastern Nigeria Baptist Digital History Project was begun to help affected Baptist churches in three northeastern states which suffered invasion, many of them with devastated and scattered congregations and damaged or destroyed buildings, recover the dignity of their history through researching, locating, digitizing, and indexing historical documents related to their founding and growth.
Original impetus for the project, headquartered in the Ibrahim Danin Library of Baptist Theological Seminary, Kaduna (located outside the Boko Haram sphere of influence) was the discovery of a trove of forty-year-old, handwritten working files created by missionaries present at the founding of many of the earliest Baptist churches in the area. Other primary materials already held by the Library contain clues to interpreting these records, and are also being digitized for access by scholars and researchers.

Published: March 2019

OBJECTIVE: Intermittent CT fluoroscopic biopsy is a new technology, but has not been studied widely. This study aims to investigate correlation between the radiation dose and fluoroscopic CT exposure factors to establish the low dose parameters for performing percutaneous lung biopsies, as well as the relationship of the mean diameter and depth of lesions with radiation dose, procedure time, success and complication rates. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a retrospective study to analyse lung biopsies performed using intermittent CT fluoroscopic technique with 18 G semi-automated coaxial gun on 256 slice scanner. A total of 50 patients were included in the study. Biopsy was done in three mAs and KVp settings (30 and 70, 10 and 120, 30 and 120, respectively). The statistical data analysis was performed using SPSS Statistics software. RESULTS: Pneumothorax occurred in 22 % of cases. Sampling rate was 98% but histopathological diagnosis was made in 94% cases. Mean procedure time was 30.5±11.1 minutes. Low dose protocol (30 mAs and 70 KVp) had least radiation exposure during biopsy procedure ( p < 0.001) with similar success rate, complications and procedure time ( p > 0.05) in comparison with high dose protocol (10 and 120, 30 and 120 mAs and KVp, respectively). Mean diameter of lesions didn’t correlate with radiation dose, success rate, complications and duration of procedure ( p > 0.05) while significant association was found when depth was correlated with radiation exposure during fluoroscopic biopsy, duration of procedure and complication rates ( p < 0.05) while no association was found with success rates. CONCLUSION: On third generation dual energy source CT scanner, reducing mAs and KVp to 30 and 70 during fluoroscopy biopsy can produce images whose complications and success rates are comparable to high dose CT. In general, intermittent CT fluoroscopy guided lung biopsy has good success rates with acceptable complications, while utilising less radiation dose and procedure time.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical application of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) diagnosis, detection of lymph node metastasis, radiotherapy and prognosis. METHODS: Twenty patients with diagnosed NPC in an early stage of radiotherapy were enrolled in our department between May 2010 and May 2013. T1 and T2 weighted magnetic resonance imaging and DWI of the nasopharynx and neck were performed 1 week before radiotherapy, during radiotherapy at a dose of 60 Gy, and 1 month after radiotherapy. Pertinent measurements and related data were recorded. RESULTS: In comparison with that before radiotherapy, the ADC value of the nasopharyngeal primary lesion increased significantly during radiotherapy at a dose of 60 Gy and at 1 month after radiotherapy (F = 187.160, P = 0.000). When the dose of radiotherapy reached 60 Gy, the DWI signals from both the neck and the retropharyngeal lymph nodes were significantly lower than those before radiotherapy. CONCLUSION: DWI can be used for sensitive and accurate diagnosis of lymph node metastasis in the neck and retropharyngeal space, monitoring of the radiotherapy effect in early stages of NPC and development of new medical treatment strategies.

Published: March 2019

BACKGROUND: The morbidity of breast cancer has been increased in these years and ranked the first of all female diseases. Computer-aided diagnosis techniques for mammograms can help radiologists find early breast lesions. In mammograms, the degree of malignancy of the tumor is not only related to its morphology and texture features, but also closely related to the density of the tumor. However, in the current research on breast masses detection and diagnosis, people usually use the fusion feature of morphology and texture but neglect density, or only the density feature is considered. Therefore, this paper proposes a method to detect and diagnose the breast mass using fused features with density. METHODS: In this paper, we first propose a method based on sub-region clustering to detect the breast mass. The breast region is divided into sub-regions of equal size, and each sub-region is extracted based on local density feature, after that, an Unsupervised ELM (US-ELM) is used for clustering to complete the mass detection. Second, the feature model is constructed based on the mass. This model is composed of the mass region density feature, morphology feature and texture feature. And Genetic Algorithm is used for feature selection, and the optimized feature model is formed. Finally, ELM is used to diagnose benign or malignant mass. RESULTS: An experiment on the real dataset of 480 mammograms in Northeast China shows that our proposed method can effectively improve the detection and diagnosis accuracy of breast masses, where we obtained 0.9184 precision in detection of breast masses and 0.911 accuracy in diagnosis of breast masses. CONCLUSIONS: We have proposed a mass detection system, which achieves better detection accuracy performance than the existing state-of-art algorithm. We also propose a mass diagnosis system based on the fused features with density, which is more efficient than other feature model and classifier on the same dataset.

PURPOSE: To investigate associations between the clinicopathologic features and CT perfusion parameters of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and non-TNBC using low-dose computed tomography perfusion imaging (LDCTPI), and to find potential clinical applications in the prognosis assessment of TNBC. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 60 patients with breast cancer confirmed by pathological examination were studied prospectively using LDCTPI on a 64-slice spiral CT scanner. The acquired volume data were used for calculations, mapping, and analysis by using a tumor perfusion protocol in the CT perfusion software package to measure 2 parameters namely, blood flow (BF), and permeability surface (PS) area product. Patients were grouped into TNBC ( n = 27) and non-TNBC ( n = 33) subtypes. Associations between these two subtypes and clinicopathologic characteristics were evaluated by both univariate and multivariate logistic regression. CT perfusion parameters values were compared for clinicopathologic characteristics using independent 2-sample t test. RESULTS: TNBC displayed higher CT perfusion parameters values (BF: 57.56±10.94 vs 52.70±7.79 mL/100 g/min, p = 0.006; PS: 38.98±9.46 vs 33.39±8.07 mL/100 g/min, p = 0.001) than non-TNBC. In addition, breast cancer with poorly histologic grade or positive Ki-67 expression showed higher BF and PS values than those with well and moderately histologic grade or negative Ki-67 expression ( p < 0.05). TNBC had poorer histologic grade ( P = 0.032) and higher Ki-67 expression ( P = 0.013) than non-TNBC. CONCLUSION: LDCTPI is a functional imaging technology from the perspective of hemodynamics with potential of clinical applications. The BF and PS values were higher in TNBC patient group than non-TNBC group. TNBC patients also have poorer clinicopathologic outcome.
ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ УКРАЇНСЬКО-КИТАЙСЬКОГО СПІВРОБІТНИЦТВА У ПРОМИСЛОВІЙ СФЕРІ: ІНТЕРЕСИ КИТАЮ ТА МОЖЛИВОСТІ УКРАЇНИ
Authors: Venger Vitalii 
Published: March 2019

У статті розглянуто існуючий стан українсько-китайського співробітництва. Виявлено, що на сучасному етапі українсько-китайські відносини зазнають певного випробування. За період незалежності України ці відносини, загалом, розвивалися по висхідній та досягли найвищої точки розвитку у грудні 2013 р., коли був підписаний Договір про дружбу та співробітництво. Наразі політичні зміни, що відбулися в Україні дещо призупинили розвиток двосторонніх відносин.
Розкрито основні напрями співпраці КНР з іншими країнами в контексті проекту "Один пояс, один шлях". У цьому контексті виявлено, що Китай є свідомим прихильником української євроінтеграції та завжди визначав Україну як «важливу державу в Європі». Зокрема, керівництво Китаю вітало підписання Україною Угоди про асоціацію з ЄС та розглядає залучення України до розбудови «Нового економічного поясу – Великий шовковий шлях», що є особистою ініціативою голови КНР. У разі успішної реалізації амбітного китайського плану – Україна матиме принципово нове геополітичне місце «першої європейської країни на Шовковому шляху».
Проаналізовано можливості та переваги України у разі залучення її до проекту "Один пояс, один шлях". До них належать: активізація торговельно-економічної співпраці шляхом збільшення обсягів торгівлі товарами з високою доданою вартістю та продукцією сфери високих технологій; реалізація великих проектів; розширення взаємних інвестицій; поглиблення співпраці в сферах високих технологій, таких як, авіація, суднобудування, біоінженерія, розробка нових матеріалів тощо.
Визначено перспективні напрями українсько-китайського співробітництва. Доведено, що найпотужнішу і довготривалу базу для співробітництва між Україною та КНР становлять наука і технологія. В умовах необхідності швидкої та ефективної модернізації української економіки, налаштування її на рейки сучасного світового ринку інвестиційні, виробничі та науково-технологічні можливості КНР можуть стати для України вагомим ресурсом розвитку та модернізації відповідних галузей економіки, поштовхом до відновлення позицій нашої держави на світових ринках технологій. Також це дає можливість китайському бізнесу зайняти відповідні ніші на українському ринку, що нині інтегрується з ЄС. Серйозні перспективи відкриває взаємодія України і КНР у такій структурно утворювальній сфері як прокладання транспортних коридорів та постачання азійських товарів до країн Європи.
Окреслено потенційні загрози від активізації двостороннього співробітництва у промисловій сфер, що полягають, насамперед, у можливій зміні цільового призначення інвестицій.

The objects and subjects of formation of the mechanism of financial security are shown and the principles and functions of the mechanism of financial security are disclosed. The research of existing theoretical approaches for determination of necessary conceptual apparatus is carried out. The analysis of the issue of the mechanism of formation of financial security of an enterprise and the review of the studies of domestic scientists and practitioners have been conducted. Also the analysis of the aspects of the definition of the structure of the category and the issue of structuring are defined. The role of financial security as a component of the economic security of an enterprise has been studied. The review of the methodical tools for evaluating financial component existing on the micro level has been considered. The category of financial security as a level of provision of enterprises with financial resources to meet their own needs and execute existing liabilities as well as the resistance to internal and external negative influences, characterized by the balance and their ability to provide financial stability, effective functioning and economic growth have been considered. The economic content of the notion "mechanism of formation of financial security of an enterprise" is determined. "Financial and economic mechanism" as a combination of methods, and forms and a tool of exertion of influence on the economic and social stabilization of the enterprise through the state system support, which is founded on an institutional basis is considered. The analysis of the whole set of normative and legal acts, methods, measures, due to which the influence of the subject towards the object for creating security and countering threats is carried out. Investigated and taken into account are theoretical and practical processes of cyclic development of enterprises providing an opportunity for managers to make sound management decisions in the future. Models of behavior of the enterprise that determine its readiness for adaptation as well as models in the context of the company's life cycle are considered. Prospects for further research and issues that require consideration and development of real measures to counteract existing threats are highlighted.
