Abstract

Objective
To investigate the extent of asbestos exposure among patients with primary lung cancer in Japan.

Methods
A retrospective estimation of potential asbestos-exposed individuals, as determined by the presence of pleural plaques identified on chest computed tomography (CT), was conducted on 885 pathologically confirmed primary lung cancer patients (mean age 71.3 years, 641 males). All patients were diagnosed at 29 hospitals across Japan between 2006 and 2007. Since these hospitals belong to the Japan Federation of Democratic Medical Institutions (MINIREN), an organization of medical institutions for workers, the study subjects may contain a higher proportion of workers than the general population.

Results
Pleural plaques were identified in 12.8% of subjects (15.8% in males and 4.9% in females), consisting exclusively of cases older than 50 years. They were found most frequently on the chest wall pleura (96.5%), followed by the diaphragm (23.9%) and mediastinum (9.7%). Calcifications were seen in 47 cases (41.6%). The highest prevalence of pleural plaques was seen among workers from construction-related fields (37.7%). No distinct lung cancer histology was observed in patients with pleural plaques. Coexistence of pleural plaques and small irregular opacities was observed in 2.5% of subjects.

Conclusion
In a Japanese population representing more workers than general Japanese, 12.8% of patients with primary lung cancer may have experienced asbestos exposure at some time in the past. Special medical attention should be paid to individuals with a history of employment in construction-related occupations, as workers in this sector showed the highest prevalence of pleural plaques.

Abstract

Objective
In recent years, the Chinese government has attached great importance to occupational health under the guidance of people-oriented concept. This paper introduces the current status and future development of occupational health in China’s Thirteenth Five-Year Plan (13th FYP) period (2016-2020) to promote the cooperation and exchange on occupational health between China and other countries.

Methods
We collected statistical data about occupational diseases and information addressing occupational diseases. We included all types of official reports, guidelines, policies, and relevant laws published by the Chinese government.

Results
China has carried out a series of strategies and measures to reduce the incidence of occupational diseases, and has made progress in occupational health protection. However, occupational health in China still faces severe conditions and challenges for occupational diseases that have not been prevented and controlled effectively. To actively promote the future development of occupational health during the 13th FYP period, China has issued a series of important policy documents (such as the Plan for a Healthy China 2030, the 13th FYP for Occupational Disease Prevention and Control, and the 13th FYP for Occupational Health Hazard Prevention and Control) in the last two years.

Conclusion
The overall situation condition of occupational health in China is still serious. Occupational health in China’s 13th FYP period faces a series of challenges, future tasks include plans to add the employer and regulatory levels of occupational health management, and occupational health education and publicity to the current technology-dominated approaches.

Abstract

Objective
The times spent in sedentary behavior (SB) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) are independently associated with health outcomes; however, objective data on physical activity levels including SB among different occupations is limited. We compared accelerometer-measured times spent in SB, light-intensity physical activity (LPA), and MVPA, and the patterns associated with prolonged bouts of SB between white- and blue-collar workers.

Methods
The study population consisted of 102 full-time plant workers (54 white-collar and 48 blue-collar) who wore a triaxial accelerometer during waking hours for 5 working days. Accelerometer-measured activity levels were categorized as SB (≤ 1.5 metabolic equivalents (METs)), LPA (1.6-2.9 METs), and MVPA (≥ 3.0 METs). A sedentary bout was defined as consecutive minutes during which the accelerometer registered less than ≤ 1.5 METs. Accelerometer variables were compared between white and blue-collar workers through analysis of covariance.

Results
During working hours, white-collar workers spent significantly more time in SB and less time in LPA than blue-collar workers (SB: 6.4 h vs. 4.8 h, 73% vs. 55% of total work time; LPA: 1.9 h vs. 3.5 h, 22% vs. 40% of total work time, p&lt;.001), whereas the MVPA time was similar between the groups. White-collar workers spent significantly more SB time in prolonged sedentary bouts (≥30 min) compared to blue-collar workers. During leisure time, the SB, LPA, and MVPA times were similar between the groups.

Conclusions
White-collar workers have significantly longer SB times than blue-collar workers during work hours, and do not compensate for their excess SB during work by reducing SB during leisure time.

Published: March 2018

OBJECTIVES:
Among adolescents and young adults with nonfatal self-harm, our objective is to identify risk factors for repeated nonfatal self-harm and suicide death over the following year.

METHODS:
A national cohort of patients in the Medicaid program, aged 12 to 24 years (n = 32 395), was followed for up to 1 year after self-harm. Cause of death information was obtained from the National Death Index. Repeat self-harm per 1000 person-years and suicide deaths per 100 000 person-years were determined. Hazard ratios (HRs) of repeat self-harm and suicide were estimated by Cox proportional hazard models. Suicide standardized mortality rate ratios were derived by comparison with demographically matched general population controls.

RESULTS:
The 12-month suicide standardized mortality rate ratio after self-harm was significantly higher for adolescents (46.0, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 29.9–67.9) than young adults (19.2, 95% CI: 12.7–28.0). Hazards of suicide after self-harm were significantly higher for American Indians and Alaskan natives than non-Hispanic white patients (HR: 4.69, 95% CI: 2.41–9.13) and for self-harm patients who initially used violent methods (HR: 18.04, 95% CI: 9.92–32.80), especially firearms (HR: 35.73, 95% CI: 15.42–82.79), compared with nonviolent self-harm methods (1.00, reference). The hazards of repeat self-harm were higher for female subjects than male subjects (HR: 1.25, 95% CI: 1.18–1.33); patients with personality disorders (HR: 1.55, 95% CI: 1.42–1.69); and patients whose initial self-harm was treated in an inpatient setting (HR: 1.65, 95% CI: 1.49–1.83) compared with an emergency department (HR: 0.62, 95% CI: 0.55–0.69) or outpatient (1.00, reference) setting.

CONCLUSIONS:
After nonfatal self-harm, adolescents and young adults were at markedly elevated risk of suicide. Among these high-risk patients, those who used violent self-harm methods, particularly firearms, were at especially high risk underscoring the importance of follow-up care to help ensure their safety.

<p><strong>Bahasa Indonesia:</strong></p><p>Al-Qur’an sebagai salah satu pedoman yang mewartakan prinsip dan doktrin ajaran Islam mempunyai apa yang disebut dengan kepastian teks (<em>qat’i al-wurud</em>). Dalam proses menjaga kepastian teks tersebut, terdapat peran serta manusia yang salah satu caranya dengan menghafalkan al-Qur’an. Namun, menghafal al-Qur’an tidak semudah yang dibayangkan sebagaimana menghafal suatu lagu atau syair. Problem yang dihadapi oleh seseorang yang sedang menghafal al-Qur’an memang banyak dan bermacam-macam. Mulai dari faktor minat, bakat, lingkungan, waktu, sampai pada metode menghafal itu sendiri. Metode STIFIn sebagai salah satu metode menghafal al-Qur’an dalam implementasinya menawarkan solusi menghafal cepat yang dilakukan mulai sebelum proses menghafal. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dalam implementasinya, dengan cara memetakan penghafal berbasis pada teori hereditas, sehingga berimplikasi pada rekayasa pembelajaran yang berbeda antar masing-masing potensi. Demikian pula dengan tes kemampuan hafalan guna mengetahui kekuatan dan kemampuan masing-masing dalam menghafal al-Qur’an. Hal tersebut kemudian diikuti dengan klasifikasi penghafal al-Qur’an berdasarkan teori sirkulasi STIFIn ketika melaksanakan kegiatan setoran kepada pembina, sehingga dalam pelaksanaan metode STIFIn sangat membantu santri untuk bisa menghafal al-Qur’an dengan lebih mudah dan nyaman, karena menyesuaikan metode dengan potensi genetik masing-masing.</p><p> </p><p><strong>English:</strong></p><p>Al-Qur'an as one of the guidelines that proclaim the principles and doctrines of Islamic teachings has what is called the certainty of the text (<em>qat'i al-wurud</em>).

However, memorizing the Qur'an is not easy as imagined as memorizing a song or poem. The problem faced by someone who is memorizing the Qur'an is many and varied. Starting from the interest factor, talent, environment, time, until the method of memorizing itself. The STIFIn method as one of the methods of memorizing the Qur'an in its implementation offers a solution to memorize quickly that began before the memorization process. The results of this study indicate that in its implementation, by mapping the memorizers based on the theory of heredity, so that it implies different learning engineering between each potential. Similarly, the tests of the ability of memorizing to know the strength and ability each person in memorizing the Holy Qur'an. It is then followed by the classification of the who memorized the Qur'an based on the STIFIn circulation theory when carrying out the deposit activities to each coach, so in the implementation of STIFIn method is very helpful for santri to be able to memorize the Qur'an more easily and comfortably, because have adjusted the method with their respective genetic potential.</p>

Authors: Lengyel Imre , Kotosz Balázs 
Published: March 2018

Az Európai Unióhoz 2004-ben csatlakozott a négy visegrádi ország (V4), Csehország, Lengyelország, Magyarország és Szlovákia. Az itt élők nagy reményeket fűztek a csatlakozáshoz, a vérmesebb elvárások szerint pár éven belül életszínvonaluk felzárkózhat a fejlett nyugati tagállamokéhoz. A „felzárkózás”, „közeledés”, „utolérés”, egy bizonyos felfogásban „konvergencia” sokrétű és sokféle értelmezésben használt fogalmak, vágyott célként egy-másfél évszázada fogalmazódnak meg a kevésbé fejlett országokban, térségekben. Az Európai Unió regionális politikájának is egyik fő célja a kevésbé fejlett régiók fejlődésének felgyorsítása és felzárkóztatásuk a tagállamok átlagához.
Tanulmányunkban azt vizsgáljuk, hogy e négy, közepesen fejlett, hasonló történelmi múlttal és társadalmi-gazdasági szerkezettel rendelkező posztszocialista ország térségeinek mennyire volt sikeres a felzárkózása az Európai Unió korábbi tagállamainak átlagához 2000 és 2014 között. A felzárkózás főbb jellemzőinek vizsgálatához a NUTS3-as területi szintet vesszük alapul. Alapvető kérdésünk, hogy megfigyelhető-e felzárkózás, ha igen, akkor e területi szinten hasonló vagy nagyon eltérő mértékű volt? Az egy lakosra jutó, vásárlóerő-paritáson számolt bruttó hazai termék (GDP) alakulását elemezzük, a felzárkózás mértékében megfigyelhető egyenlőtlenségeket pedig az entrópián alapuló Theil-indexek segítségével vizsgáljuk. A megyék felzárkózását befolyásoló tényezők közül kettőt elemzünk részletesen: az országos folyamatok hatását, illetve a megye legnagyobb városának – mint potenciális agglomerációs előnnyel rendelkező településnek – lehetséges szerepét.

Published: March 2018

Background. Menstrual pain syndrome is accompanied by a complex of neurovegetative, metabolic-endocrine and psycho-emotional disorders. Dysplasia of connective tissue is characterized by a high level of functional disorders of the central and autonomic nervous system and emotional disorders.
Aim. Detection of features of a clinical current of primary dysmenorrhea in adolescent girls with signs an undifferentiated dysplasia of connecting tissue (UDCT). Materials and methods. 210 adolescent girls at the age of 11–17 full years suffering primary dysmenorrhea were examined. Depending on the presence or absence of clinical signs of undifferentiated connective tissue, two groups were identified. The main group consisted of 120 patients, the comparison group comprised 90 patients. The severity of the menstrual pain syndrome was assessed using the three scales of the McGill Pain Questionnaire. For psychological testing was used a scale of self-assessment of anxiety of Ch.D. Spielberger – Yu.L. Khanina.
Results. In 90.9 ± 2.6% of patients of the main group the debut of a dysmenorrhea has taken place in the period of formation of menstrual function — within the first 2 years after menarche. The average value of the rank index of pain in the main group was higher than in the comparison group (3.5 ± 0.1 and 2.8 ± 0.1, p < 0.001). In an internal picture of perception of pain at patients of the main group the emotional component prevailed. Their psychoemotional status was distinguished by a higher level of the average score of reactive (45.3 ± 0.9 and 36.3 ± 1.4; p < 0.001) and personal (49.9 ± 0.6 and 41.4 ± 1.0; p < 0.001) of anxiety.
Conclusions. The obtained results give the grounds to consider the presence of clinical manifestations of an undifferentiated dysplasia of a connecting tissue in adolescent girls as a predictor, which is making heavier a clinical current of a menstrual pain syndrome.

Today, large-scale simulations are thriving because of the increase of computating performance and storage capacity. Understanding the results of these simulations is not easy, and hence, support for interactive and exploratory analysis is becoming more important. This study focuses on spatio-temporal simulations and attempts to develop an analysis technology to support them. It uses a database system for supporting interactive analysis of large-scale data.
Since the data gained via spatio-temporal simulations is not suitable for management in a relational DBMS (RDBMS), this study uses an array DBMS, a type of DBMS that has been garnering increased attention in recent years. An array DBMS is designed for the management of large-scale array data; it provides a logical model for array data, yet it also supports efficient query processing. SciDB is used as our specific array DBMS in this paper.
This study targets disaster evacuation simulation data and demonstrates via experimentation that the query-processing functions offered by an array DBMS provide effective analysis support.
Simulation of Matrix/Fracture Interaction in Low-Permeability Fractured Unconventional Reservoirs
Authors: Ding D. Y. , Farah N.. , Bourbiaux B.. , Wu Y.-S.. -S. , Mestiri I.. 
Published: March 2018

Summary
Unconventional reservoirs, such as shale-gas or tight oil reservoirs, are generally highly fractured (including hydraulic fractures and stimulated and nonstimulated natural fractures of various sizes) and embedded in low-permeability formations. One of the main production mechanisms in unconventional reservoirs is the flow exchange between matrix and fracture media. However, because of extremely low matrix permeability, the matrix/fracture exchange is very slow and the transient flow may last several years to tens of years, or almost the entire production life. The commonly used dual-porosity (DP) modeling approach involves a computation of pseudosteady-state matrix/fracture transfers with homogenized fluid and flow properties within the matrix medium. This kind of model clearly fails to handle the long-lasting matrix/fracture interaction in very-low-permeability reservoirs, especially for multiphase flow with phase-change problems. Moreover, a DP model is not adapted for the simulation of matrix/fracture exchange when fractures are described by a discrete-fracture network (DFN). This paper presents an embedded discrete-fracture model (EDFM) dependent on the multiple-interacting-continua (MINC) proximity function to overcome this insufficiency of the conventional DP model.
