The Value of Nerve Ultrasound to Diagnose and Follow Up the Multifocal
Neurolyphomatosis in the Upper Limb---- Case Report and Literature Review
Authors: Zhuang Nan , Xie Lu , Liu Dongsheng , Xie HaiQin 
Published: March 2024

Introduction::
Neurolymphomatosis (NL) is a rare disease. Ultrasound (US) plays a crucial role in diagnosing and following up the NL.

Case Presentation::
A 59-year-old man was hospitalized with acute pain in the left upper extremity. Ultrasound revealed segmental swelling of multiple nerves around
his left elbow with abundant blood flow signals. Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) showed a rapid, complete and homogenous enhancement
in the nerve lesions in the early arterial phase. The NL was confirmed by imaging and flow cytometry, and he accepted chemotherapy. The posttherapeutic
ultrasound showed that the nerves in the left upper limb were basically normal. Unfortunately, the patient died of cerebral metastasis in
5 months.

Conclusion::
The nerve US and CEUS can show specific manifestations and provide more diagnostic information about NL.

Introduction:
Bee venom has therapeutics and pharmacological properties. Further toxicological studies
on animal models are necessary due to the severe allergic reactions caused by this product.

Method:
Here, Caenorhabditis elegans was used as an in vivo toxicity model, while breast cancer cells were
used to evaluate the pharmacological benefits. The bee venom utilized in this research was collected from Apis
mellifera species found in Northeast Brazil. The cytotoxicity caused by bee venom was measured by MTT assay
on MDA-MB-231 and J774 A.1 cells during 24 - 72 hours of exposure. C. elegans at the L4 larval stage were
exposed for three hours to M9 buffer or bee venom. Survival, behavioral parameters, reproduction, DAF-16 transcription
factor translocation, the expression of superoxide dismutase (SOD), and metabolomics were analyzed.
Bee venom suppressed the growth of MDA-MB-231 cancer cells and exhibited cytotoxic effects on macrophages.
Also, decreased C. elegans survival impacted its behaviors by decreasing C. elegans feeding behavior, movement,
and reproduction.

Results:
Bee venom did not increase the expression of SOD-3, but it enhanced DAF-16 translocation from the
cytoplasm to the nucleus. C. elegans metabolites differed after bee venom exposure, primarily related to aminoacyl-
tRNA biosynthesis, glycine, serine and threonine metabolism, and sphingolipid and purine metabolic pathways.
Our findings indicate that exposure to bee venom resulted in harmful effects on the cells and animal models
examined.

Conclusion:
Thus, due to its potential toxic effect and induction of allergic reactions, using bee venom as a therapeutic
approach has been limited. The development of controlled-release drug strategies to improve this natural
product's efficacy and safety should be intensified.

Published: March 2024

Abstract:
Every year witnesses an outbreak of some or the other zoonotic disease that causes the
unparalled loss of human life. The year 2022 presented the outbreak of Crimean Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF), which brought unprecedented challenges to individuals as well as to the
healthcare system all around the world, making it a serious health concern. Rising health concerns
have highlighted the importance of managing and decreasing the further transmission of the
CCHF virus. CCHF is one of tick-borne viral diseases, which spreads due to various reasons like
changes in global warming, environmental influences, and other ecological factors. All these factors somehow impact the disease prevalence. This disease has a negative impact on both humans
and livestock. The diverse climate and significant livestock population of India make it susceptible to the prevalence of CCHF. Therefore, it is the need of the hour to develop some strategies in
order to tackle the challenges posed by CCHF. This article includes all the cases of CCHF that
have occurred in India from the year 2011, along with the fatality rates associated with this disease. Also this study discusses the need to explore some specific drugs for the management and
prevention of such diseases. In addition, the pathogenesis of the disease progression, along with
some protective measures suggested by the government has been described for prevention of
CCHF. Subsequently, this article attempted to draw attention towards the risk that may be posed
by CCHF in the coming scenario, emphasizing the importance of taking proactive measures in
anticipation of such risks.

ABAQUS
Authors: Yang Lin , Gong Junhao , Liu Jialiang , Xia Jianqiu , Zhang Yu 
Published: March 2024

Background:
The substantial cutting force and elevated cutting temperature during the
machining of hardened steel GCr15 exacerbate tool wear.

Objective:
In this study, the influence of cutting parameters on cutting force and cutting temperature
in the process of hard-cutting GCr15 was studied, the cutting parameters were optimized, and
the cutting force and cutting temperature were predicted.

Methods:
The cutting simulation model was constructed using ABAQUS software, and the cutting
force and cutting temperature were investigated under various cutting parameters through range
analysis, variance analysis, and signal-to-noise ratio transformation analysis.

Results:
The simulation and experimental results demonstrated that the cutting force could be optimized
by utilizing cutting speed vc=140 m/min, feed rate f=0.1 mm/r, and cutting depth ap=0.1
mm. Under these conditions, the cutting force in the x-direction was measured as 78.560N, while
the cutting force in the y-direction was 32.423N. Moreover, for achieving the optimal cutting temperature,
the recommended cutting parameters were cutting speed vc=120 m/min, feed rate f=0.1
mm/r, and cutting depth ap=0.4 mm.

Conclusion:
Compared to the conventional analytical method, which is burdened with high costs
and low efficiency, the patent leverages finite element simulation technology to replicate the hardcutting
process and its underlying cutting mechanism. This innovation simplifies the otherwise
complex and laborious experimental and measurement procedures. By studying cutting force and
cutting temperature, the optimization of cutting parameters can be achieved, thus offering valuable
theoretical insights for practical production.
Engineering Economic Systems: Past, Present and Future
Authors: Brandeau Margaret 
Published: March 2024

At Stanford, engineering economic systems emerged as a discipline in the late 1960’s. The department’s curriculum had four central areas: decision analysis, optimization, economic sciences, and dynamic systems. The emphasis was on both practice and theory. The Management Science and Engineering Department at Stanford (MS&E), founded in 2000, is an outgrowth of the former Engineering Economic Systems Department. MS&E focuses on the codesign of engineering platforms and social systems in the 21st century, at scale and with pervasive data. The goal is to understand, design, implement, and control large-scale, integrated systems of people and machines. The intellectual spectrum ranges from analytics and computation to social and behavioral sciences. This article describes examples of past and present projects in the areas of energy, education, the economy, the environment, and health. Looking to the future, we are likely to see the continual emergence of new technologies, increasing amounts of data, increasing levels of connectivity, advances in computing, ubiquity of machine learning and artificial intelligence, and increasing importance of the need to address social and environmental problems. These will lead to new ways of analyzing problems and rich new opportunities for the tools of engineering economic systems to have impact.

Published: March 2024

Background: Surveillance of incidence and survival of central nervous system tumors is essential to monitor disease burden and epidemiological changes, and to allocate health care resources. Here, we describe glioma incidence and survival trends by histopathology group, age, and sex in the Norwegian population.
Material and methods: We included patients with a histologically verified glioma reported to the Cancer Registry of Norway from 2002 to 2021 (N = 7,048). Population size and expected mortality were obtained from Statistics Norway. Cases were followed from diagnosis until death, emigration, or 31 December 2022, whichever came first. We calculated age-standardized incidence rates (ASIR) per 100,000 person-years and age-standardized relative survival (RS).
Results: The ASIR for histologically verified gliomas was 7.4 (95% CI: 7.3–7.6) and was higher for males (8.8; 95% CI: 8.5–9.1) than females (6.1; 95% CI: 5.9–6.4). Overall incidence was stable over time. Glioblastoma was the most frequent tumor entity (ASIR = 4.2; 95% CI: 4.1–4.4). Overall, glioma patients had a 1-year RS of 63.6% (95% CI: 62.5–64.8%), and a 5-year RS of 32.8% (95% CI: 31.6–33.9%). Females had slightly better survival than males. For most entities, 1- and 5-year RS improved over time (5-year RS for all gliomas 29.0% (2006) and 33.1% (2021), p < 0.001). Across all tumor types, the RS declined with increasing age at diagnosis.
Interpretation: The incidence of gliomas has been stable while patient survival has increased over the past 20 years in Norway. As gliomas represent a heterogeneous group of primary CNS tumors, regular reporting from cancer registries at the histopathology group level is important to monitor disease burden and allocate health care resources in a population.

Doppler ultrasound is more accurate than pulse oximeter plethysmography in the measurement of systolic arterial pressure from the median caudal artery in anesthetized dogs
Authors: Whittaker John H. , Kapaldo Nathaniel , Bortoluzzi Eduarda M. , Rankin David C. 
Published: March 2024

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To compare the accuracy of doppler ultrasound (DOP) and pulse oximeter plethysmography (POP) in the measurement of systolic arterial pressure (SAP) to invasive blood pressure (IBP) in anesthetized dogs.

ANIMALS
40 client-owned healthy dogs > 10 kg.

METHODS
Dogs were anesthetized for surgical procedures in dorsal recumbency. Invasive blood pressure was measured from a dorsal pedal artery. DOP and POP device probes were placed over the median caudal artery with a flow-occluding cuff for noninvasive blood pressure measurement. Systolic arterial pressure measured by DOP, loss of pulse oximeter plethysmograph (POPL), and return of pulse oximeter plethysmograph (POPR) were compared to SAP measured by IBP. A linear mixed model was used to determine correlation. Bland-Altman analyses were performed to determine bias, SD, and limits of agreement. The accuracy of DOP and POP was compared to IBP across different tensive states.

RESULTS
Conditional R2 values for DOP, POPL, and POPR versus IBP were 0.92, 0.85, and 0.87, respectively (all P < .001). The biases for DOP, POPL, and POPR compared to IBP were +7.6 ± 13.1, +3.9 ± 14.4, and +8.6 ± 15.2 mm Hg (bias ± SD), respectively. Limits of agreement (lower, upper) were (−18.1, +33.3), (−24.3, +32.1), and (−21.2, +38.4) mm Hg for DOP, POPL, and POPR, respectively. DOP and POP overestimated SAP during hypotension (SAP < 90 mm Hg), DOP to a lesser magnitude.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
DOP measured from the median caudal artery may be acceptable for SAP measurement in dorsally recumbent, healthy anesthetized dogs > 10 kg. POP was determined an unacceptable method.
New Moorish architectural identity in Tlemcen, Algeria
Authors: Mazouz Fatima , Triqui Manar 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
In Algeria, the city of Tlemcen is home to 60% of the country’s Arab-Islamic architectural heritage, also known as Moorish. During the French colonization, the rich Moorish historical and architectural heritage was largely diminished. The architecture of Tlemcen’s historic old town was gradually replaced by classical architecture in the early days of colonization, and then by modern architecture from 1940 onwards. After the independence in 1962, the city has carried out huge programs of facilities and new housing, based on modern architectural principles. In 2011, Tlemcen was designated a “Capital of Islamic Culture” and, in preparation for this international cultural event, new cultural facilities and hotels have been built, inspired by Moorish heritage. Given the heterogeneity of references and in particular the identity crisis ensuing in architecture in Tlemcen, this event was the key moment for validating a stylistic choice, which directly recounts the history of the city. The question is: what authenticity is expressed by the current use of the Moorish referent? Is it technical and material authenticity, or merely symbolic and cultural genuineness? This study delves into the question of identity in architecture. It analyses the new Moorish-style buildings in Tlemcen and highlights their contribution to the quest for a local identity and the ambition to produce local architecture. The article supports the hypothesis that architecture is an effective means of expressing identity and that it has always had, and continues to have, a close relationship with memory. The methodology is based on a combination of several investigative tools: surveys, photographs and archive consultation. These tools helped develop a building analysis grid, which serves as a repertory for describing the buildings, according to two levels of reading of the architectural work. We have chosen three Moorish and four contemporary buildings to which the different criteria of the analysis grid are applied. The results of the analysis of the new buildings show that, in a way, they enabled to establish continuity and dialogue with the Moorish heritage.
Appraisal of the historical impact of neglected, modernised small-scale architectural objects by Rudolf Frič
Authors: Kiaček Matúš 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The context of interwar period Czechoslovakia lacks a formal on both the personality and built artefacts on the often overlooked Bratislava builder, Rudolf Frič. Small-scale architecture tends to be undervalued because of its size, utility, multiplicity, or related momentariness, and because of the automatic consideration of its banality. This paper aims to analyse their architectural qualities presented in concrete typologies and realisations. Tram shelters, gas stations, mausoleums, and small detached houses are thus researched. Their architectural values, both in construction and in form, are identified and clarified. On the other hand, it is noted that the scale and ephemerality conditioned by the utility character are the crucial reasons for their undervaluation. This is especially the case of traffic buildings, where the same dynamic that initiated their origin also resulted in their end, as they become obsolete rather soon. Some of these projects by Frič such as: Rybáček House, Polák Tram stop, the Zikmund Brothers’ gas station, as well as the Frič family tomb, are confronted with other relevant realisations, prove that small-scale architectural objects and peripheral typologies have the architectural qualities for which they would deserve the public and professional interest. Moreover, these objects reflect their variety, being situated in diverse urban situations, from the architecturally and historically intact city centre, through to newly urbanised dwelling area, urban periphery up to a provincial town. Additionally, they illustrate the asymmetric position of the Slovak situation compared to the Czech one, particularly in transport architecture. The presented works characterise the style of Frič based on the high-quality craftsmanship details rather than explicit architectural forms. This transfer of new typologies and structural forms with partial urban impacts, underscores the neglected and crucial contribution to architecture by Frič.
How the COVID-19 shock influenced companies listed on the WSE and how they managed their liquidity
Authors: Czajkowska Agnieszka , Bolek Monika , Pluskota Anna 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The aim of the article is to analyze the liquidity of non-financial companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. The article addresses the liquidity of the examined group against the background of the entire market and its relationship with debt, profitability, growth and the risk of bankruptcy, including in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The article examines the assertion that COVID-19 influenced the practice of aggressive liquidity management in terms of indebtedness, profitability, value creation, and risk of bankruptcy. The research revealed that public companies behaved differently than the entire sector by pursuing an aggressive management policy and that the pandemic caused an even greater decrease in the static liquidity ratios while cash conversion cycle (CCC) increased. In addition, the decline in EPS growth and the increase in Z-Score during the pandemic could mean that enterprises focused on reducing the risk of bankruptcy rather than maximizing value during the pandemic shock. Before the pandemic, CCC influenced DER, and during the pandemic, static indicators began to play a more important role in the financial strategies of the surveyed companies. The research results add to liquidity theory and its impact on shaping financial strategy, especially during a financial crisis. In addition, an analysis of the impact of liquidity on earnings per share (EPS) growth and Z-Score was conducted. They represent the creation of value and the assessment of the risk of bankruptcy, making this paper particularly insightful. The results obtained provide valuable guidance to decision-makers managing liquidity and debt in corporate finance.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the effects of financial bootstrapping and government support on working capital, as well as the moderating role of entrepreneurial orientation towards the impact of working capital on financial performance. The study was conducted on 260 MSME owners in the food and beverage sector in Semarang, Surakarta, and Salatiga, in Central Java Province, Indonesia. By using a Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis, the determinant effects and consequences of working capital were determined. The findings of this study indicate that financial bootstrapping and government support are proven to have a significant positive effect on working capital. Working capital has a significant positive effect on financial performance, but entrepreneurial orientation is not confirmed to moderate the effect of working capital on financial performance.
Overconfidence in Financial Literacy: Implications for Planners
Authors: de Zwaan Laura , Lee Chrisann , Liu Yulin , Chardon Toni 
Published: March 2024

ABSTRACT
Financial literacy of clients is an important consideration for financial planners as it has implications for determining financial capacity. Likewise, overconfidence is also an important concern, given that overconfident clients may indicate they understand advice when in reality they do not. Using an online survey, we gathered data on subjective and objective levels of financial literacy from a sample of university students. We then examined the associations between self-assessed and actual levels of financial literacy with the aim of identifying overconfidence. We find, generally, respondents do not overestimate their financial literacy; however, respondents with English as a second language were significantly more overconfident than other demographic groups. These findings can help planners in identifying clients who may be overconfident in their own financial literacy.
