Authors: Ayesha Mushtaq  , Muhammad Athar Hussain  , Mushtaq Ahmad  
Published: October 2024

The study aimed to explore the attitudes of Cholistani people towards the education of their children, particularly focusing on daughters, in the context of the region’s nomadic lifestyle and socio-economic challenges. The objectives were to assess parental attitudes towards education, examine the variation towards the education for girls, and identify factors influencing these views. The study is quantitative and a descriptive research design was adopted. The population comprised teachers from 45 public schools in the District of Rahim Yar Khan. The sample included 119 teachers selected by simple random sampling technique. The data was collected using a self-structured questionnaire on a 5-point Likert scale and the collected data was analyzed by using the SPSS (employing frequency, percentage, mean score, and standard deviation analyses). Education for male children was often prioritized over female children. Stipends and financial incentives to promote education in the region, these measures were insufficient to address the deep-rooted challenges. The study concluded that a positive attitude toward education among the Cholistani people but socio-economic factors i.e. poverty, nomadic lifestyle, and gender bias, significantly hindered their ability to support and engage fully in the educational process. The availability of qualified teachers and the quality of educational management were also areas requiring improvement. The study recommended government investment in building more schools and improving existing ones with basic facilities including clean drinking water, proper sanitation, and safe transportation options. Mobile schools or flexible schedules should be introduced to accommodate the nomadic lifestyle of many Cholistani families.

The role of FDG-PET scanning and PET-adapted therapy in the primary treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma: A primer for clinicians
Authors: Crump Michael 
Published: October 2024

The evolving treatment paradigm for classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) remains focused on maintaining high rates of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), while seeking to reduce both short-term and late toxicities from chemotherapy and radiation. Functional imaging with fluoro-deoxyglucose (FDG)‑positron emission tomography (PET) combined with computed tomography (CT) is recognized as standard for staging and response evaluation of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Recent randomized controlled trials evaluating FDG-PET-guided therapy for patients with limited stage and advanced stage Hodgkin lymphoma provide clinicians and patients with meaningful data upon which to base individualized treatment approaches. FDG‑PET scanning after two cycles of therapy (interim PET or PET2) represents the most important determinant of further appropriate treatment and subsequent outcomes, and is now the cornerstone of risk-adapted therapy for all patients receiving curative-intent initial therapy for Hodgkin lymphoma. For patients with limited stage cHL, post-chemotherapy assessment (after two or four cycles of treatment depending on the regimen used) is also a key determinant of the need for the addition of involved site or nodal radiation as part of combined modality therapy. This review summarizes the important role of interim and end of chemotherapy FDG-PET scanning to guide individualized initial therapy for patients to achieve optimal treatment outcomes.
Front-line Management of Follicular Lymphoma
Authors: Hershenfeld Samantha , Teichman Jennifer , Berinstein Neil L. 
Published: October 2024

Follicular lymphoma (FL) is the second most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in Western countries. Most patients have an indolent disease course with 10-year survival estimates of 80% among all patients in the rituximab era. However, risk stratification schema can identify subgroups of patients at higher risk of early death and/or progression following front-line therapy. In addition, histologic transformation to an aggressive NHL occurs in approximately 2% of patients per year. Many patients can initially be observed, but ultimately, most will be treated with multiple lines of therapy during their lifetimes. Current Health Canada-approved systemic treatment options include chemoimmunotherapy and lenalidomide plus rituximab. Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors were initially approved but were later withdrawn because of toxicity considerations. Newer therapies likely to impact care in Canada include bispecific T cell engagers (BiTEs) and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy.
From Intractable to Treatable: Milestones and Horizons in the Management of HER2+ Breast Cancer
Authors: Li Meredith , Cescon David W. 
Published: October 2024

The human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family that initiates various signalling pathways that control cell proliferation and tumourigenesis. Historically, approximately 15% of breast cancers have been characterized by overexpression or amplification of HER2, known as “HER2+” breast cancers. This subtype has been associated with an adverse prognosis, along with a high risk of recurrence and worse survival outcomes. However, with the discovery and subsequent development of HER2‑targeted therapies, the clinical course of HER2+ breast cancers has fundamentally changed. Optimizing therapeutic strategies using existing and emerging HER2-targeted therapies to build upon these advances remains a major priority for clinical development and treatment delivery.
In 1998, the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Health Canada approved trastuzumab, the first HER2-targeted therapy. Trastuzumab, a monoclonal antibody that binds to the HER2 receptor, has demonstrated clinical activity and improved outcomes in patients with metastatic HER2+ breast cancer when combined with chemotherapy. Following soon after, the first trial of adjuvant trastuzumab (HERA) demonstrated improvements in outcomes when combined with chemotherapy for early HER2+ breast cancer. More than 25 years after its first approval, trastuzumab retains a central role in the treatment of both early and advanced HER2+ breast cancer and has provided a backbone for both new therapeutic combinations (eg. with small molecule inhibitors of HER2) and new classes of therapeutic agents (antibody drug conjugates [ADC]). These successors of trastuzumab are currently redefining the HER2+ treatment landscape in both advanced and early breast cancer.

Published: October 2024

Brand visual identity is a critical component of brand image and impacts consumers' brand perception and attitude. Although scholars and practitioners have increasingly researched brand visual identity, most focus on brand communication and corporate management perspectives, necessitating a systematic review of consumer attitudes based on brand visual identity elements. This study aims to review the impact of brand visual identity on consumer attitudes and provide directions for future research. We conducted a systematic search using PRISMA guidelines, reviewed relevant articles published in four databases (Web of Sciences, ProQuest, Scopus, and Elsevier) in the past two decades (2004-2024), and obtained 559 articles in May 2024. We conducted a thorough peer-review of both theoretical and empirical journal articles, followed by a scoping review. Thirty-four studies were eligible, analysing consumers' perceptions of various core elements of brand visual identity (BVI) (such as brand logo, colour, name, typography, and font), as well as the impact of brand visual identity on consumer attitudes and the practical implications of brand management. The results show that the consumption of visual identification elements affects consumers' perceived brand quality, brand personality, brand satisfaction, loyalty, favourability, and so on., as well as purchase intentions and social attitudes. In summary, the findings indicate that brand visual identity elements impact consumer perceptions and attitudes. However, despite some progress, further research is necessary to arrive at more definitive and robust conclusions.

Published: October 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é relatar um estudo de caso de avaliação formativa realizada por meio de vídeos, com duas turmas, uma de Cálculo I e outra de Cálculo 2, em uma universidade brasileira, no período da pandemia do covid-19 entre os anos de 2020 e 2021. A metodologia utilizada para a análise das atividades desenvolvidas foi a qualitativa. Para as avaliações das aprendizagens na disciplina, os estudantes enviavam vídeos ao professor, semanalmente, mostrando as respostas produzidas para as atividades, explicando como desenvolveram cada uma delas. Como feedback, o professor comentava cada resolução em forma de comentário, na plataforma Teams. Concluímos que a avaliação por meio de vídeos produzidos pelos alunos favoreceu as aprendizagens numa perspectiva formativa, com duas características principais: a primeira, proporcionou ao estudante não apenas a escrever suas resoluções, mas também a explica-las oralmente, expondo os seus pensamentos no desenvolvimento das respostas; a outra, proporcionou ao professor uma melhor compreensão do processo cognitivo dos estudantes, por meio de suas falas, permitindo fornecer feedbacks mais precisos em relação aos aspectos que necessitavam ser aprimorados para o sucesso acadêmico nas disciplinas.

Several obstacles have been proposed as potential roadblocks to parental involvement in schooling. This study sought to examine the influence of parental occupation on parental involvement in education among public day secondary schools in Moyale Sub-County, Marsabit County. This study used a descriptive cross-sectional design. The target population included 10 public day schools with a total enrollment of 1861 students. The sample size was 329 students, who were selected using simple random sampling. The findings indicated that parental occupation had a positive and significant relationship with parental involvement in education. The study concluded that parental occupation contributed significantly to parental involvement in education. The study recommended that school management should create awareness among parents about the role their occupation plays in their children’s education. Parents should be able to strike a balance between work and getting involved in the education of their children.

Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a crucial crop in Ethiopia, and breeders test newly developed elite lines for superiority to existing cultivars to boost national productivity. The study was undertaken during the 2021–22 to 2022–23 cropping seasons at seven environments in optimum moisture areas of Ethiopian using 36 diverse and advanced bread wheat genotypes to evaluate the GEI by the graphical method of GGE biplot and to identify the genotypes with high mean yield performance and stability. Field experiments were conducted at the Adet, Asasa, Kulumsa, and Sinana research centers in Ethiopia. The experiments were planted in an alpha lattice design replicated three times in six rows of 2.5m long. Row-to-row distance and distance between blocks were 0.2m and 1.5m, respectively. The analysis of variance revealed that genotype, environment, and their interaction showed a highly significant effect on the yield as reflected in the GGE model and the GGE model indicated the suitability of the genotypes EBW202136 (33), Boru (1), and EBW202172 (12), with high mean yield and stability, whereas the genotypes EBW202185 (16) and Deka (36) produced high mean yield, but unstable. Likewise, the genotypes EBW202164 (27) and EBW202192 (29) produced low mean yield and unstable. The AMMI analysis of variance for grain yield across the environments showed that 17.26% of the total variation was attributed to genotypic effects, 64.03% to environmental effects, and 18.71% to GEI effects. Two mega environments were identified based on GGE biplot analysis and the which-won–model indicated the adaptation of genotypes Boru (1), EBW202159 (4), EBW202172 (12), EBW202171 (19), and EBW202136 (33) to first mega-environment and genotypes EBW202157 (3), EBW202166 (5), EBW202160 (6), EBW202162 (9), EBW202185 (16), Dursa (17) and Deka (36) in the second. These approaches allowed the identification of stable and high-yielding genotypes (EBW202136 (33) and EBW202172 (12)) which can be included in the national verification program, with a plan to release a new variety, and other genotypes with high yield could be utilized in breeding programs to further improve grain yield in bread wheat.
The Solar Flux Dependence of Ionospheric 150 km Radar Echoes and Implications

Published: November 2017

AbstractRadar echoes from the daytime equatorial ionospheric F1 region, popularly known as “150 km echoes,” have challenged ionospheric plasma physicists for several decades. Recent theoretical simulations showed that enhanced photoelectron fluxes can amplify the amplitude of plasma waves, generating spectra similar to those of the radar echoes, implying that larger solar fluxes should produce more frequent and stronger 150 km echoes. Inspired by this proposal, we studied the occurrence and intensity dependence of the echoes on the EUV flux observed by SOHO over several years. The occurrence and intensity of the echoes were found to have an inverse relationship with this EUV flux measurement. The multiyear trend is independent of the variability often observed over successive days with nearly identical EUV fluxes. These results imply that the relationship between the echoes and EUV flux is more complex. We propose that gravity waves modulate the amplitude of 150 km echoes through changes in the variations in plasma density and photoelectron fluxes associated with the gravity wave‐induced neutral density modulations.
P and S Velocity Structure in the Groningen Gas Reservoir From Noise Interferometry
Authors: Zhou Wen , Paulssen Hanneke 
Published: November 2017

AbstractNoise interferometry has proven to be a powerful tool to image seismic structure. In this study we used data from 10 geophones located in a borehole at ∼3 km depth within the Groningen gas reservoir in the Netherlands. The continuous data cross correlations show that noise predominantly comes in from above. The observed daily and weekly variations further indicate that the noise has an anthropogenic origin. The direct P wave emerges from the stacked vertical component cross correlations with frequencies up to 80 Hz and the direct S wave is retrieved from the horizontal components with frequencies up to 50 Hz. The measured intergeophone travel times were used to retrieve the P and S velocity structure along the borehole, and a good agreement was found with well log data. In addition, from the S wave polarizations, we determined azimuthal anisotropy with a fast direction of N65°W±18° and an estimated magnitude of (4±2)%. The fast polarization direction corresponds to the present direction of maximum horizontal stress measured at nearby boreholes but is also similar to the estimated paleostress direction.
USArray Imaging of Continental Crust in the Conterminous United States
Authors: Ma Xiaofei , Lowry Anthony R. 
Published: November 2017

AbstractThe thickness and bulk composition of continental crust provide important constraints on the evolution and dynamics of continents. Crustal mineralogy and thickness both may influence gravity anomalies, topographic elevation, and lithospheric strength, but prior to the inception of EarthScope's USArray, seismic measurements of crustal thickness and properties useful for inferring lithology are sparse. Here we improve upon a previously published methodology for joint inversion of Bouguer gravity anomalies and seismic receiver functions by using parameter space stacking of cross correlations of modeled synthetic and observed receiver functions instead of standard H‐κ amplitude stacking. The new method is applied to estimation of thickness and bulk seismic velocity ratio, vP/vS, of continental crust in the conterminous United States using USArray and other broadband network data. Crustal thickness variations are reasonably consistent with those found in other studies and show interesting relationships to the history of North American continental formation. Seismic velocity ratios derived in this study are more robust than in other analyses and hint at large‐scale variations in composition of continental crust. To interpret the results, we model the pressure‐/temperature‐dependent thermodynamics of mineral formation for various crustal chemistries, with and without volatile constituents. Our results suggest that hydration lowers bulk crustal vP/vS and density and releases heat in the shallow crust but absorbs heat in the lowermost crust (where plagioclase breaks down to pyroxene and garnet resulting in higher seismic velocity). Hence, vP/vS variations may provide a useful proxy for hydration state in the crust.
