Published: January 2023

The triphasic spiral liver computed tomography (CT) method is a standard way to find and describe a wide range of benign and cancerous liver lesions. This helps bring down the rates of death and illness among people with liver disease. Objective: To evaluate liver diseases in real time using Triphasic imaging procedure. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out at Al-Amin Diagnostic Center, Chattha Hospital, and Gondal Hospital. Before Triphasic CT Scan, each patient completed a form of written informed consent. A total of 65 people were examined. All diagnosed with various liver illnesses, as well as their findings were reviewed using Triphasic liver CT Scan. The typical patient was 53.5 years old. Patients' eligibility was determined using inclusion criteria. Results: The majority of data population was male 39 (60%) and female 26 (40%). The majority of the findings included Portal vein thrombosis 6 (9.2%) liver lesion 5 (7.7%), ascitis 3 (4.6%), cirrhosis of liver 6 (9.2% ), Hepatocellular carcinoma 12 (18.46% ), Dilated CBD 4 (6.2% ), cholilithiasis 8 (12.3%), portal hypertension 5 (7.7%), hepatic Mets 6 (9.2%), Hepatic contusion 6 (9.2%), Right lobe nodules 3 (4.6%), segment 8 tumor 1 (1.5%). Conclusions: Computer tomography is a useful modality for identifying liver pathology. sixty-five patients in this study were aged 30-84 years (60%) male and (40%) female and were found to have a greater incidence of hepatic cellular carcinoma in the liver (12) (18.46%) and it is more affected in males than females
IL-6 as an Inflammatory Marker in Hodgkin Lymphoma
Authors: Tariq Muhammad Akram 
Published: January 2023

Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a lymphoid tumor that develops from embryological or post-germinal center B-cells. The disease was originally recognized in 1832 by Thomas Hodgkin. Globally, 0.4% of clinically diagnosed cancers in 2018 were caused by HL. Regardless of age, ethnicity, or location, the prevalence of HL varies. It's a particular kind of malignant tumor in which the cancerous Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells are surrounded by a significant cellular infiltration of immune cells (lymphocytes, macrophages, eosinophils, mast cells, plasma cells, and collagen cells), which also contribute to the microenvironment of the tumor. Numerous chemotherapy drugs and low-dose field radiation have been found to significantly reduce illness mortality [1].
High levels of cytokines that stimulate the immune system, such as interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), and eotaxin are produced by developing tumor cells and/or by reactive immune cells associated with tumors. These markers are anticipated to promote B-cell activation and related high-risk DNA-modifying activities, which will lead to the growth of B-cell lymphoma. IL-6 is a critical cytokine that stimulates the growth of hematological and solid tumors and is synthesized by a wide range of cell types, including fibroblasts, ECs, epithelial cells, and monocytes as hematological tumor lines. Through the activation of JAK, it stimulates the transcription factors STAT. In NHL, lower progression-free survival and overall survival rates have been linked to higher blood IL-6 levels, and IL-6 production in HL cell lines has been demonstrated. Numerous investigations revealed that IL-6 expression correlated with early onset vascular development events, indicating that it may be involved in angiogenesis [2].
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is thought to play a crucial pathobiological function in classical HL among the biologic variables like cytokines. According to reports, adult patients with HL who have elevated serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) have better response rates, longer survival times, and B symptoms. TH-17 response may be elicited by HRS cells that express IL-6, but TH-2 response may be elicited by HRS cells that do not express IL-6. T-lymphocytes are known to be attracted by IL-6, and depending on how it interacts with other cytokines like TGF-beta, the lymphocytes may induce a TH-2 or TH-17 response. A significant cancer hallmark known as immune evasion can be brought on in cancer patients by the TH-2 response [3].

At the same time, network security is also a critical issue that major libraries need to pay attention to. Libraries should ensure network data security, prevent and solve in advance, and avoid the loss of libraries and readers.
The future is human
Authors: De Hoog Tanya 
Published: January 2023

Over the past decade, I’ve had great opportunity to engage with our international professional community in thinking about the future of structural engineering through conferences, classrooms, writings, presentations and board meetings. Our collective passion for this subject is profound, offering an inspiring prognosis for us. Our world is changing and we need to adapt and evolve to remain relevant. For the engineering profession, it is time to adopt a more human-centric focus to better leverage technological innovation and use it to make a greater contribution to our society. Key drivers of change in the engineering profession include digital transformation, climate change and stresses on the urban environment. This creates an opportunity to reassess what it means to be an engineer, who we are and how we can be more inclusive of different skillsets, what we value and where we will find meaning, purpose and fulfilment in our future careers. For future success, we engineers need to focus on our human qualities such as empathy, creativity and connection. We need to redefine our essential skillset, which will require broader training, education and diversity. It will require us to set a direction for the profession in which we focus collaboratively on positive outcomes for society, and find a balance between business profi t and social value outcomes as measures of success. This leads naturally into the following questions: can we achieve these competing demands? Will technology enhance our ability to solve complex problems more quickly, resulting in a stronger and more desired profession? What does the future engineer look like?
An expansive vision for structural engineers
Authors: Bell Glenn R 
Published: January 2023

Over the past decade, I’ve had great opportunity to engage with our international professional community in thinking about the future of structural engineering through conferences, classrooms, writings, presentations and board meetings. Our collective passion for this subject is profound, offering an inspiring prognosis for us. Our outlook has evolved from a somewhat pessimistic view to one that is decidedly optimistic. We see great opportunity for structural engineers to hold leadership roles in helping society meet its future challenges, and there is a generation of bright young professionals eager to make a difference in the world. We struggle, however, to understand how to bring about the needed change, in ourselves and in our industry, to play more impactful roles in serving society. Nonetheless, a common theme in our various conversations about our future suggests a path forward: we need a bolder, more expansive vision for who we are as structural engineers and what roles we play.
2020 vision: 'For an understanding of the future, look to the past'
Authors: McQuillan Don 
Published: January 2023

2020 President Don McQuillan – the Institution's 100th president – sets out his vision for the year in his inaugural address. In appointing me its 100th President, the Institution has conferred upon me a tremendous honour and provided me with an amazing opportunity for which I am thankful. The weight of responsibility is enormous but the road ahead, although challenging, is exciting and I count on your support as we walk it together. The choice of title for this address is almost a given in the year 2020. It is opportune to pause and reflect on what has been achieved under the leadership of 99 illustrious past presidents. Recent presidents have contemplated the future of our profession and how we must adapt and develop to meet the evolving challenges that face us. In 2018, under Faith Wainwright’s presidency, Council was tasked with considering developing trends, methods, materials, etc. and the outcome was the seminal strategy publication, The future of our profession. The Board formally adopted the report’s recommendations and the Institution’s April 2019 Technical Conference entitled ‘Strategically shaping the future of our profession’ explored three of the seven key issues in greater depth: 1.data and artificial intelligence 2.future of education for engineer 3.resilience. The Institution has since set up a task group to monitor progress as initiatives are rolled out, and its various committees and panels are also theming their activities around the key priority areas. Although the intention of this address is not to stargaze, the wisdom of Confucius is relevant: ‘Study the past if you would define the future’. Technologist Mike Ivicak gave this a slight twist: ‘For an understanding of the future, look to the past’. Ivicak went on to say: ‘The past and the future are actually not so different. Every past event has a cause or causes that, as we look back at them, typically make sense to us from our vantage point in the present. Likewise, each past event has implications and influences the events that follow it.’
Análisis de fiabilidad en la estimación de funcionalidad de la rodilla mediante video-análisis
Authors: Andrade Cristian , Espinosa David , Panamá Mauricio 
Published: January 2023

El objetivo del trabajo es evaluar la fiabilidad para estimar la funcionabilidad de la rodilla en ejercicios básicos mediante una técnica de video-análisis de bajo coste y no invasiva. Los datos fueron obtenidos a partir de marcadores anatómicos reflectivas que realizan la función de caracterizar el movimiento, ubicados en sujetos sanos siguiendo el protocolo CGM2, con tres sesiones experimentales por sujeto. El movimiento se registró mediante la cámara de vídeo de un smartphone, a 30 fps. Los videos fueron analizados mediante el software libre Tracker, y los cálculos cinemáticos (posiciones, velocidades, aceleraciones y EIR) se realizaron con software propio desarrollado en MATLAB siguiendo la metodología de movimiento en un solo plano. Se realizó el análisis calculando el coeficiente de correlación intraclase (ICC) y el error estándar medio (SEM) entre operador y entre sesión. La repetibilidad del ejercicio por un mismo sujeto es alta (ICC superiores a 0,89), sin embargo, es complejo lograr esta repetibilidad entre sujetos en diferentes sesiones (ICC entre 0,68 y 0,85), por lo que se requiere controlar mejor la instrumentación y las condiciones en las que se realizan las sesiones sean las mismas.
Sjeng Tans: martelaar, held, heilige?
Authors: Klijn Annemieke 
Published: January 2023

De katholieke doorbraaksocialist Sjeng, voluit Jean Guillaume Hubert, Tans (1912-1993) was één van de belangrijkste exponenten van de doorbraak, het principiële uitgangspunt van de PvdA. Tegen het einde van zijn "aardse loopbaan" bekeek Tans zijn "zorgvuldig afgesloten prijzenkast": ridder in de orde van de Nederlandse Leeuw, erepenning in goud van de gemeente Maastricht en nog één van de provincie Limburg, de dr. Tans-penning, de dr. Tans-leerstoel en een eredoctoraat van de Rijksuniversiteit Limburg. Vooral de verheffing "tot de eer van het Maastrichtse altaar" deed hem goed, ook al besefte hij dat zelfs een "heilige maar een mens blijkt te zijn". Op 25 februari 1993 overleed Tans in zijn geboorteplaats Maastricht.
'Voorlopig in alle stilte' terwerkstelling van politieke gevangenen in de mijn Willem-Sophia te Spekholzerheide (1945-1946)
Authors: Schoot Uiterkamp Annet 
Published: January 2023

'For the time being keep it silent'. Employment of political prisoners at the mine Willem-Sophia in Spekholzerheide (1945-1946)'. This article investigates the beginnings of the employment of collaborationist prisoners in Dutch coal mines after the Second World War, especially in the mine Willem-Sophia in Spekholzerheide (1945-1946). Such employment, made urgent by shortage of fuel as well as of labour, was debated in the early months of 1945. Initially the military commander in charge (‘Militair Gezag’) forbade employment of prisoners unless no regular unemployed were available. Mine directors insisted, particularly because in the months following the liberation of the southern part of Limburg, political prisoner camps housed numerous skilled miners. In collective memory their employment is supposed to have generated much resistance among miners and their unions, as it was supposed to be a degradation of their profession. But research in the archives does not produce much evidence to corroborate this as far as the Willem-Sophia is concerned: the first Dutch coal mine to employ these ‘infected’ miners.
Bij het afscheid van een dame. De Roermondse Sint Elisabethvereniging in 1909
Authors: Heemels Maurice 
Published: January 2023

At the farewell of a lady. The Roermond women’s charity of Saint-Elisabeth by 1909
In the Low Countries, poor relief was primarily the responsibility of private organisations until the early twentieth century. One out of many was the Roermond ‘Sint Elisabethvereniging’, a Roman Catholic women’s charity that tried to help the urban poor in times of unemployment, illness, old age and financial worries. By 1909 the work of the Sint Elisabethvereniging was done by fifteen women. Being part of the Roermond elite, many of these ladies were related to one another. Only four of them were married, and their husbands, like the fathers and brothers of the other ladies, were almost exclusively working as legal experts (lawyers, judges and notaries). The ladies lived near to each other in the better neighbourhoods of the city. It was almost impossible for outsiders to become a member of this rather exclusive group of ladies. Charity provided them with a means of fulfilling their Christian duties and confirming their social status. Furthermore the work gave them the opportunity to meet other women at a time when women of the higher social classes were expected to stay at home. For most of the ladies their membership of the Roermond Sint Elisabethvereniging was also ‘an escape from loneliness’.
Revitalisering van het mijnverleden in Heerlen door hybride taalculturele praktijken

Revitalisation of Heerlen’s coal mining past through languagecultural practices
This paper examines how inhabitants of Heerlen relate to the coal mining past of this city through a variety of languagecultural practices that cut across diverse media forms and genres, both textual (poems, rap songs), visual (portrait photography, material commodities), and digital (posts on Facebook, YouTube videos). Through these practices people in Heerlen express, repeat, and renew their individual and collective memories of Heerlen as the centre of the former Eastern Mining District in the twentieth century. We argue that Heerlen is undergoing a process of revitalisation that creates social personae, embedded locally, which are labelled tuupisch (typical). From a normative perspective, performances of identity and memory attributed and/or imagined as linked to this tuup (type) are often parodic and hybrid in character. Through an analysis of various examples, the paper demonstrates the critical potential of such hybrid languagecultural practices to contest dominant perspectives on the city’s mining heritage, to renegotiate place-based identities, and to establish new forms of cultural memory

Tawakkal merupakan manifestasi keyakinan di dalam hati yang memberi motivasi kepada manusia dengan kuat untuk menggantungkan harapan kepada Allah SWT dan menjadi ukuran tingginya iman seseorang kepada Allah SWT. Disamping Islam mendidik ummatnya untuk berusaha, Islam juga mendidik umatnya untuk bergantung dan berharap kepada Allah. Dalam kata lain, mereka menyerahkan iman dan keyakinannya kepada Allah di dalam suatu urusan, maka pada suatu ketika mereka akan merasai keajaiban tawakkal. Keyakinan utama yang mendasari tawakkal adalah keyakinan sepenuhnya akan kekuasaan dan keagungan Allah SWT. Tawakkal merupakan bukti nyata dari tauhid. Tawakal merupakan wujud keimanan dalam hati yang sangat memotivasi manusia untuk bertawakal kepada Allah SWT dan menjadi tolak ukur tingkat keimanan kepada Allah SWT. Apalagi Islam mendidik umatnya untuk berusaha Islam juga mendidik umatnya untuk bersandar kepada Allah dan berharap kepada Allah. Dengan kata lain, jika mereka menyerahkan keyakinan dan keyakinan mereka kepada Allah dalam hal apapun, maka suatu hari mereka akan mengalami keajaiban Tawakkal.
