Digital Marketing for Private Practice: How to Attract New Patients
Authors: StClergy Kevin D. 
Published: August 2019

AbstractDigital marketing in the hearing profession can be confusing, difficult, and make any private practice owner or manager frustrated with the results they are or are not getting. This article provides a digital marketing plan for getting new patients to contact your office for hearing healthcare services. Patients are confused when researching hearing aids, audiologists, and hearing tests. Some Web sites advertise bypassing licensed professionals, recommending only an online hearing test or an audiogram faxed into their office for the purpose of fitting hearing aids or other technology. We know this system does not take the place of a licensed professional but, Web sites that provide this information are very believable. Practitioners and managers are frustrated and confused by what they should be doing online. Patients continue to find other sources of misinformation before locating an established practice that can help them hear better and get much more out of their hearing healthcare. This article will give each reader a plan for getting results online and attracting new patients to their practice for less money than any other marketing medium available today.

Published: August 2019

Background Traumatic brachial plexus injuries (BPIs) represent a major cause of disability in young patients. The purpose of this study was to compare two populations (from Argentina and Germany) who suffered a traumatic BPI after a motorcycle accident to identify predictors of BPI and brain injury severity.
Methods Univariate and multivariable intergroup comparisons were conducted, and odds ratios were calculated to assess the associations between the different demographic, morphometric, and trauma-related variables, and the type and severity of patients' injuries. Pearson correlation coefficients were generated to identify statistically significant correlations.
Results A total of 187 patients were analyzed, 139 from Argentina and 48 from Germany. The two countries differed significantly in age and several morphometric and trauma-related variables. The clinical presentation was also convincingly different in the two countries. The following three variables remained as statistically significant predictors of a complete (vs. partial) BPI: living in Argentina (p < 0.001), presenting prior to 2015 (p = 0.004), and greater estimated speed at the time of impact (p = 0.074). As for BPIs, a disproportionate percentage (85.6%) of more severe brain injuries occurred in Argentinian patients (p < 0.001) and among those whose accident involved striking a stationary vertical object.
Conclusions This study identified several factors that might be considered when planning governmental policies and education initiatives to reduce BPI and brain injuries related to motorcycle use.
Level of evidence II-2 (evidence obtained from case–control studies).

AbstractThis study aims to determine the amount of time ophthalmologists using electronic health records (EHRs) spend looking at the patient and its correlation on patient satisfaction. This prospective cohort study examined 67 patients seeking care at two different ophthalmology clinics. Videos of entire office visits were recorded and each video was graded for amount of time spent by physicians gazing at the patient, computer, paper medical records, or other areas. Videos were also graded for the amount of time examining the patient, and the physician speaking during each visit. A patient satisfaction survey was administered at the end of each office encounter. Time of physician gaze to the patient was correlated to satisfaction outcome measures. Ophthalmologists spent 28.0 ± 21.2% of the visit looking at the computer. Overall, patient satisfaction levels were very high (4.8 ± 0.5, five-point Likert's scale). Ophthalmologists spent the same amount of time looking at patients who were extremely satisfied (28.8 ± 16.7%), as those who were not extremely satisfied (28.8 ± 15.9%). Ophthalmologists on EHRs spend over one-third of the time of each patient visit looking at the computer. However, patient satisfaction levels are very high. The amount of time that the ophthalmologist gazes at the patient or the computer does not appear to have an effect on patient satisfaction in this particular study. Further research still needs to be performed regarding the effects of EHRs on the patient experience. Physicians should continue to be sensitive to their patients' needs and approach the use of EHRs in patient encounters on an individual basis.

Published: August 2019

Background The treatment of peripheral nerve defects requires bridging materials. Skeletal muscle grafts have been studied as an alternative to nerve autografts because they contain longitudinally aligned basal laminar tubes that are similar to axons. Several pretreatment methods for muscle grafts have promoted axonal regeneration. Here, a new method of doxorubicin pretreatment was used, and the efficacy of the pretreated muscle graft was evaluated in a rat model of a sciatic nerve defect.
Methods A rat model of a 10-mm sciatic nerve defect was analyzed in three settings: muscle grafts with and without doxorubicin pretreatment (M-graft-w-Dox and M-graft-w/o-Dox groups, respectively) and a nerve autograft group (N-graft) (n = 6/group). The M-graft-w-Dox group was immersed in a doxorubicin solution for 10 minutes and rinsed with saline. Analyses of target muscle atrophy, electrophysiology, and histology were performed 8 weeks after grafting.
Results Electrophysiological parameters and target muscle atrophy were significantly superior in the M-graft-w-Dox group compared with the M-graft-w/o-Dox group. Histological assessment revealed the presence of a significantly greater number of regenerated axons in the M-graft-w-Dox group versus the M-graft-w/o-Dox group, while there were no significant differences between the M-graft-w-Dox and N-graft groups. The diameter of myelinated axons of the regenerated nerve in the M-graft-w-Dox group was significantly larger than that in the M-graft-w/o-Dox group, while it was not significantly different compared with the N-graft group.
Conclusion Pretreatment of muscle grafts with doxorubicin promoted significant peripheral nerve regeneration. This method may represent a new option for the treatment of peripheral nerve defects.

AbstractPrimary Ewing's sarcoma arising from frontal bone is rare. We report a case of 17-year-old boy with painless swelling in the frontoparietal region. Computed tomography showed destruction of bone and an enhancing extradural mass. The patient underwent wide excision combined with radio and chemotherapy. Histopathology revealed it to be round cell sarcoma, and immunohistochemistry confirmed it to be Ewing's sarcoma.
Extracting significant signal of news consumption from social networks: the case of Twitter in Italian political elections

Published: August 2019

AbstractAccording to the Eurobarometer report about EU media use of May 2018, the number of European citizens who consult on-line social networks for accessing information is considerably increasing. In this work we analyse approximately 106 tweets exchanged during the last Italian elections held on March 4, 2018. Using an entropy-based null model discounting the activity of the users, we first identify potential political alliances within the group of verified accounts: if two verified users are retweeted more than expected by the non-verified ones, they are likely to be related. Then, we derive the users’ affiliation to a coalition measuring the polarisation of unverified accounts. Finally, we study the bipartite directed representation of the tweets and retweets network, in which tweets and users are collected on the two layers. Users with the highest out-degree identify the most popular ones, whereas highest out-degree posts are the most “viral”. We identify significant content spreaders with a procedure that allows to statistically validate the connections that cannot be explained by users’ tweeting activity and posts’ virality, using an entropy-based null model as benchmark. The analysis of the directed network of validated retweets reveals signals of the alliances formed after the elections, highlighting commonalities of interests before the event of the national elections.
Spreading of perturbations in myosin group kinetics along actin filaments
Authors: Balassy Zsombor , Lauzon Anne-Marie , Hilbert Lennart 
Published: August 2019

Significance
The emergence of spatially distributed phenomena, such as traffic jams or disease outbreaks, results from spreading of local events to larger scale. We investigated spreading of local events in the simplified situation of a 1-dimensional system. In particular, we addressed perturbations in the mechanochemistry of groups of myosin molecular motors that propel linear actin filaments. Using in vitro experiments and simulations, we conclude that perturbations spread along filaments by local mechanical coupling; the kinetic stability of a given perturbation and actin length together determine the likelihood that a perturbation has system-wide impact. We also generalized these findings to a spin chain model with nearest-neighbor coupling, meaning that they should also apply in other systems with local coupling and linear geometry.

The effect of task modality and discourse mode on EFL learners’ narrative task performance
Authors: Asgari Majid , Jafari Sakineh 
Published: August 2019

AbstractThis study examined the effect of task mode (written vs. spoken) and discourse mode (pair vs. individual) on advanced Iranian EFL learners’ task performance. Participants, four groups of advanced learners, performed a narrative task in four conditions: the first group of participants performed the task individually in a spoken mode, the second group performed the task individually in a written mode, the third group performed the task in pairs in a spoken mode, and the participants in the fourth group performed the task in pairs in a written mode. The results indicated that the participants’ performances, in terms of complexity, accuracy, and fluency improved greatly among learners who worked in pairs rather than individually, and those who performed written tasks rather than oral ones.

Abstract
Studies on English language learning materials indicate that women are underrepresented and often appear in low-status professions, though gender equality increases within the last decade (Sunderland, 2015). To what degree does this finding apply for textbooks for learners of Dutch as a Second Language (DSL)? To our knowledge, there are no studies into gender and profession in DSL materials. Dutch however, constitutes an interesting case as both female, male and ‘gender neutral’ professional role nouns exist, while their use is not formally regulated. We systematically analyzed textual and pictorial representations of female and male professionals in textbook chapters about work in fifteen DSL textbooks published within the last 50 years. We drew on quantitative (e.g., number of fe/male and ‘gender neutral’ professional names; instances of male generics and firstness; number of depicted wo/men) and qualitative (e.g., nature of the most frequent professional names; categorization of textbook images) methods to do so. Results show that women are not underrepresented in dialogues and pictures, but that dialogue themes are unequally divided over women and men. Moreover, women are backgrounded through male generics and male firstness and female professional names appear less frequently than male names. Women are also described in gender typical roles, whereas men are not. This holds for both older (1974–2009) and recent textbooks (2011–2017). Overall, more ‘gender neutral’ nouns refer to men in the corpus, but they are used more frequently to refer to women within the last decade. Future studies should address the present theme from psycholinguistic and classroom discourse perspectives and consider additional analytical domains (e.g. chapters about family) and foci (e.g. analyses of verbs associated with wo/men). We discuss pedagogical implications (e.g., screen materials for male firstness; describe women in a greater variety of roles; reverse gender roles in class) for those with concern for gender equality in language education.

Abstract
In this research, cloud computing model on internet pricing scheme based on Cobb-Douglas utility function was formed. The model formed is a combination of cloud computing model, consumer problem model by using Cobb-Douglas utility functions. These model considers the level of customer satisfaction on the sale of a service product and the service quality of the service provider company. The model used is solved by using LINGO 13.0 program to get the optimal solution result. Based on the calculation, the optimal solution was obtained for two types of cases, for the first case is 217.76 and for the second case is 206.97 which is on cloud computing model with usage based pricing scheme and flat fee, respectively. Based on the result of each cases, both Internet Service Provider (ISP) and internet users will get maximum benefit when ISP applied models with utility function compared to the original model.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
The problem of cutting raw materials to fulfill the size of demand using certain cutting pattern is called Cutting Stock Problem (CSP). CSP aims to find the optimal cutting pattern with the minimum trim loss. In this research, all possible cutting patterns were generated by pattern generation algorithm where the materials were cut based on the length on the first stage and the width on the rest stage. All patterns were modeled to N-Sheet model and solved using Branch and Cut method. Based on the results, it showed that the N-Sheet model ensured as minimum a possible trim loss to fulfill the demands.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
Two-dimensional Multiple Stock Size Cutting Stock Problem (MSS2DCSP) is an optimization problem in determining the optimal cutting pattern of materials with length and width variables. The optimal cutting pattern is needed to minimize the number of materials used. This research implemented the pattern generation algorithm to generate Gilmore and Gomory models on every variation of material size. The first stage generated the pattern based on the length, followed by a pattern generated based on the width on the next stage. Then, Gilmore and Gomory models were generated according to the size of the material, where the Gilmore and Gomory model constraints ensured that strips cut in the first stage cutting were used in the second stage cutting and met all product requirements. The Branch and Bound method were used to determine the minimum size of the material sheets needed.
The irregularity of Avogadro’s hypothesis and determination of the gas constant value (R)
Authors: Bama Akhmad Aminuddin , Panagan Almunady T. 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
Avogadro’s hypothesis, which in reality is used as a “basis” in determining/calculating various thermodynamic variables, and decreasing various derivative equations, is less understandable. Avogadro’s hypothesis is a “hypothesis”, not a “law” that has been widely and correctly proven both analytically and empirically. For this reason, this paper discusses the objections associated with the hypothesis, as well as alternative solutions to determine the gas constant value R (not the universal gas constant as obtained from Avogadro’shypothesis) which depends on the type of gas. These gas constants are obtained through a simple assumption, that is from the definition that 1 (one) mole of gas is a unit related to the number of gas molecules in a certain volume measured at STP conditions (pressure 1 atm, and temperature 25°C = 298°K). With this assumption, it is clear that the gas constant is unique, so it becomes the character of the gas (for gas type X is R

=V
X/298 litters · mol−1 · atm · K−1).

Published: August 2019

Abstract
The research about fractures identification around the geothermal manifestations of The Airklinsar Ulu Musi (AUM) in South Sumatra Indonesia has been carried out. The specific identification was carried out using 2D resistivity method. There are at ease four measurement lines were properly used (The proper length is 384 m.). Those are direct parallel to each other (with the considerable distances are 150 m), and also to the possible strike of Barisan Mountain. Line 1 typically comprises a visible track that intersects some of the geothermal manifestations. The ultimate aim of the comprehensive study was to accurately determine the porous zone scientifically based on the local distribution of rock resistivity values. This porous region is analogous to an extensive area of the possible fracture that acts as a conduit for geothermal fluid to the earth surface. The satisfactory results sufficiently showed that the fracture zone pattern was only exist below Line 1 (with a possible distance of 256-288 m), with starting at a desired depth of five up to 35 m. The specific zone is accurately represented by the resistivity value ranging 15 up to 192 Ωm. Furthermore, it can be reasonably assumed that the fracture pattern below the Line 1 is precisely a possible crack. It extends inward (not extending in the possible direction of the other line) until it encounters the primary fault, the Sumatran Fault.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
As depicted by its three components, A (academic), B (business), and G (government), the Triple Helix principle aims at narrowing the gap between the competencies of university graduates and those required by businesses or industries in the real world, under the corridor of government rules and regulations. The main issues that will be addressed by the triple helix concept is the national policy to attain 23% of renewable energy portion by the year 2025. However, the conventional electricity construction, which usually prefer a large-scale interconnected system, is currently facing serious delay due to difficulties in acquiring land and permit. Moreover, such large-scale power plants are not sufficient to serve consumers that are scattered in more than three thousand islands in Indonesia archipelago. In addition, such big projects are mostly owned by giant investors that depend on foreign fund and technology, leaving no opportunity for local people to contribute and have ownership over their energy needs. STT PLN proposes a simple small-scale distributed generation that can be owned and managed by local people by using renewable energy sources that are available around the communities. Waste is the most attractive resources because by converting waste to energy, the problem of waste can be solved at the same time. Based on the research and pilot project that had been conducted in three locations, Listrik Kerakyatan (Community-based Electricity) is technically simple so it can be applied and managed by local people. It is also economically viable as the required capital is relatively small and affordable by small enterprises. The commutative law of math also says that 1x1000 = 1000 x1. Therefore, going by that law, the total capacity generated by 1000 units of small LKs can be similar to one large unit of conventional model.
Bethe-Salpeter approach to three-body bound states with zero-range interaction
Authors: Ydrefors E , Alvarenga Nogueira J H , Karmanov V A , Frederico T 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
The Bethe-Salpeter equation for three scalar bosons, with zero-range interaction, is solved in Minkowski space by direct integration of the four-dimensional integral equation. The singularities occuring in the propagators are treated properly by standard analytical and numerical methods, without relying on any ansatz for the Bethe-Salpeter amplitude. The results for the binding energies and transverse amplitudes are compared with the results computed in Euclidean space. A fair agreement between the calculations is obtained.

Authors: Duarte D C , Farias R L S 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
In this work we study the effects of an external magnetic field in the competition of chiral and diquark order parameters in cold and dense quark matter, using a SU(2) version of the NJL model. We verify the influence of the magnetic field in the phase diagram, and perform a comparison of the results obtained using a Fermi-Dirac form factor regularization with ones obtained by using a method that makes a full separation of the finite magnetic contributions and the divergencies, the Magnetic Field Independent Regularization.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
In this work we evaluate the π
0 pole-mass in the RPA approximation at finite magnetic field and temperature in the NJL SU(2) model. To this end, we employ an alternative version of the Magnetic Field Independent Regularization based on the Riemann-Hurwitz zeta function. To employ this formalism, we present a set of equations applied to the gap equation and pseudo-scalar polarization loop at the mean field approximation and random phase approximation.
