Published: January 2023

Abstract
Background
The diagnosis of peritoneal carcinomatosis is challenging and can be difficult to detect with imaging, especially the detection of small-sized peritoneal lesions. The presence of peritoneal neoplastic spread alters tumour staging and is one of the most significant prognostic indicators in several malignancies, and the purpose of this study was to highlight the diagnostic value of PET/CT in detection of peritoneal carcinomatosis in patients with malignant neoplastic disease.

Results
PET/CT has 76.2% sensitivity, 88.9% specificity, 94.1% PPV, 61.5% NPV and 80% accuracy in detection of peritoneal carcinomatosis. Different patterns of FDG uptake of peritoneal carcinomatosis were found such as focal nodular uptake, diffuse abdominal uptake and liver surface focal or diffuse uptake. From all these different patterns, focal nodular uptake was the most frequent pattern. The best cut-off value of SUVmax was 5 for diagnosis.

Conclusions
The study affirms the significant role of PET/CT in the diagnosis of peritoneal carcinomatosis and its important value in the staging, management and follow-up of patients with secondary peritoneal malignancies, especially in case of unavailable or inappropriate peritoneal biopsy. Therefore, PET/CT could help reduce the number of laparotomies and a better selection of patients who are candidates for adjuvant chemotherapy.
Pilonidal sinus of external auditory canal as unpredicted lesion: rarest case presentation and review of literatures
Authors: Bofares Khaled Mohamed , Abdallah Hassan Huda M. , Ali Mohammed Faraj 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Background
Pilonidal sinus (PNS) is considered as a benign lesion of hair-bearing areas, particularly at the sacrococcygeal area. It is presented as a hole or tunnel in the skin. It may be filled with fluid or pus resulting in the formation of a cyst or abscess. Although PNS is a well-established lesion in general surgery as well as dermatology specialties by its occurrence at the sacrococcygeal region, but the surprising presentation of PNS is that at ENT specialty by its appearance at the external auditory canal (EAC), which is deemed unpredicted lesion at this particular region.

Case presentation
Nine years female Libyan child has been presented with a history of persistent offensive bloody stained yellowish discolored left ear otorrhea a few months before her presentation. The local examination including the microscopic examination revealed evidences of a grayish-pinkish pedunculated polypoidal mass raised from the junction of the superior wall with the anterior wall of the EAC, at the site of the junction between the cartilaginous and bony portions of EAC. The temporal bone CT scan revealed evidences of radiolucent soft tissue density mass arising from the wall of the EAC at its anterior-superior junction, with the intact tympanic membrane as well as the middle ear cavity. This was most probably in favor of the suggestion of granulation tissue or aural polyp. The mass was completely excised as one piece from its pedicle and sent for histopathological evaluation, which was in favor of the diagnosis of PNS.

Conclusion
We consider this case for reporting because of its scarcity and unexpected lesion at EAC. To the best of our knowledge, our case constitutes the second case of the EAC specifically, and the third case of external ear generally reported in the world. Thus, we tried to illustrate this unique and rare EAC lesion concerning how it is clinically as well as pathologically presented. In addition, we tried to review the literatures to elucidate whether this rare lesion has been reported before.

PURPOSE Chemotherapy has not demonstrated benefit over adjuvant endocrine therapy alone for postmenopausal patients with node-positive breast cancer with a 21-gene breast recurrence score (RS) of 25 or below (RS ≤ 25). We tested whether combined results from RS and the sensitivity to endocrine therapy (SET2,3) index of endocrine-related transcription (SETER/PR) adjusted for baseline prognostic index (BPI) improve prognostic assessment, and whether SET2,3 predicted benefit from anthracycline-based chemotherapy. METHODS A blinded retrospective clinical validation of SET2,3 in two randomized treatment arms from the SWOG S8814 trial comparing adjuvant anthracycline-based chemotherapy followed by tamoxifen endocrine therapy for 5 years, versus tamoxifen alone. SET2,3 assay was calibrated and measured using whole-transcriptome RNA sequence of tumor samples already tested for RS. The primary end point was disease-free survival (DFS). RESULTS There were 106 events in 283 patients over a median follow-up of 8.99 years. Proportional hazards assumptions were met during the first 5 years only. SET2,3 index and RS were not correlated (r = –0.04) and were independently prognostic (SET2,3: hazard ratio [HR], 0.48 per unit; 95% CI, 0.34 to 0.68; P < .001; RS: HR, 1.28 per 10 units; 95% CI, 1.14 to 1.44; P < .001). SET2,3 index did not predict chemotherapy benefit (interaction P = .77). SET2,3 was high in 93/175 (53%) patients with RS ≤ 25 (concordant low-risk), with 5-year DFS 97%. SET2,3 was low in 55/108 (51%) patients with RS > 25 (concordant high-risk), with 5-year DFS 53%. Both components of SET2,3 index were prognostic after adjustment for RS: SETER/PR (HR, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.46 to 0.92) and BPI (HR, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.31 to 0.64). CONCLUSION SET2,3 index was not correlated with RS, demonstrated additive prognostic performance, and was not chemopredictive in this subset of patients from S8814. The SETER/PR and BPI components of SET2,3 each added prognostic information to RS.

PURPOSE: The uninsured rate began rising after 2016, which some have attributed to health policies undermining aspects of the Affordable Care Act. Our primary objectives were to assess the changes in insurance coverage and forgoing medical care because of cost in cancer survivors from pre-enactment (2016) through postenactment of those policies (2019) and determine whether there were subgroups that were disproportionately affected. METHODS: The 2016-2019 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System surveys were queried for 18- to 64-year-old cancer survivors. Survey-weighted logistic regression was used to assess temporal changes in (1) insurance coverage and (2) forgoing medical appointments because of cost in the preceding 12 months. RESULTS: A total of 62,669 cancer survivors were identified. The percentage of insured cancer survivors decreased from 92.4% in 2016 to 90.4% in 2019 (odds ratio for change in insurance coverage or affordability per one-year increase [ORyear], 0.92; 95% CI, 0.86 to 0.98; P = .01), translating to 161,000 fewer cancer survivors in the United States with insurance coverage. There were decreases in employer-sponsored insurance coverage (ORyear, 0.89) but increases in Medicaid coverage (ORyear, 1.17) from 2016 to 2019. Forgoing medical appointments because of cost increased from 17.9% in 2016 to 20.0% in 2019 (ORyear, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.1; P = .025), affecting an estimated 169,000 cancer survivors. The greatest changes were observed among individuals with low income, particularly those residing in nonexpansion states. CONCLUSION: Between 2016 and 2019, there were 161,000 fewer cancer survivors in the United States with insurance coverage, and 169,000 forwent medical care because of cost.

Cel pracyCelem pracy było zbadanie powiązania między osadzeniem rodzica, a nasileniem zaburzeń behawioralnych i emocjonalnych w rodzinie u dzieci ojców pozbawionych wolności.MetodaZbadano grupę dzieci więźniów i 2 grupy kontrolne. Grupę kryterialną tworzyły dzieci więźniów, wychowujące się w rodzinach o zwiększonym nasileniu zachowań dysfunkcjonalnych/problemowych (N=72). Grupę kontrolną (I) współtworzą dzieci i młodzież (N=76) wychowujący się w rodzinach pełnych, a poziom zachowań dysfunkcjonalnych/problemowych w rodzinie, a także poziom prężności psychicznej dzieci jest zbliżony do poziomu grupy dzieci więźniów (grupy kryterialnej). Drugą grupę kontrolną tworzą dzieci i młodzież z rodzin pełnych. W rodzinach tych dzieci zachowania dysfunkcjonalne/problemowe nie występują bądź są na bardzo niskim poziomie nasilenia, a poziom prężności jest istotnie wyższy w porównaniu z dziećmi więźniów i dziećmi z I grupy kontrolnej (N=98). Do pomiaru zaburzeń behawioralnych i emocjonalnych wykorzystano Kwestionariusz Achenbacha dla rodziców (Child Behavior Checklist).WynikiPoziom nasilenia zaburzeń behawioralnych i emocjonalnych dzieci więźniów okazał się istotnie wyższy we wszystkich kategoriach zaburzeń, w porównaniu z ich rówieśnikami z rodzin pełnych.WnioskiWyniki badań wskazują zatem, że dodatkowym czynnikiem nasilającym zaburzenia behawioralne i emocjonalne jest inkarceracja rodzica, która dotyka bardziej dziewczęta, aniżeli chłopców.

Farys po arabsku z drugiej ręki prozą
Authors: Siwiec Paweł 
Published: January 2023

ADAM MICKIEWICZ’S FARYS IN ARABIC ‒ SECOND HAND TRANSLATION IN PROSE
In 1830, the French version of Mickiewicz’s narrative poem Farys was published in a prose translation of the poet himself. On its basis, an Arabic translation was produced by a Cairo teacher named M. Jamali. In 1910, thanks to the efforts of the Mickiewicz’s son, Władysław, it appeared in a bilingual brochure together with the original French text. In the same year, the Egyptian monthly Az-Zuhūr also published an Arabic translation of this poem, without mentioning the translator’s name. This article presents a comparative analysis of both of these Arabic translations and shows that the version published by Az-Zuhūr is nothing else but an editorial revision of the Jamali’s work.

The aim of the text is to present the Japanese translation of Yitskhok Katsenelson’s Song of the murdered Jewish people, authored by two Germanists, Masatomo Asukai and Kazuyuki Hosomi, published in 1999 under the title Horobosareta Yudaya no tami no uta by the Tokyo publishing house Misuzu. In addition to providing details of the publication itself, as well as the profiles of the translators and the background to the creation of the Japanese edition, the linguistic aspect of the translation is discussed in particular, focusing on problems of versification, the syntactic devices used and the choice of vocabulary. The article provides a more detailed analysis of selected, albeit representative, fragments of the translation, as varied in content and style as possible. Some space has also been given to the critical apparatus of the Japanese edition, i.e. comments, footnotes, afterwords etc., as well as to translations of the titles of individual parts of The song…
On Computing with Some Convex Relaxations for the Maximum-Entropy Sampling Problem
Authors: Chen Zhongzhu , Fampa Marcia , Lee Jon 
Published: January 2023

Based on a factorization of an input covariance matrix, we define a mild generalization of an upper bound of Nikolov and of Li and Xie for the NP-hard constrained maximum-entropy sampling problem ( CMESP ). We demonstrate that this factorization bound is invariant under scaling and independent of the particular factorization chosen. We give a variable-fixing methodology that could be used in a branch-and-bound scheme based on the factorization bound for exact solution of CMESP , and we demonstrate that its ability to fix is independent of the factorization chosen. We report on successful experiments with a commercial nonlinear programming solver. We further demonstrate that the known “mixing” technique can be successfully used to combine the factorization bound with the factorization bound of the complementary CMESP and with the “linx bound” of Anstreicher.

Scheduling Advertising on Cable Television
Authors: Souyris Sebastián , Seshadri Sridhar , Subramanian Sriram 
Published: January 2023

Scheduling Advertising on Cable Television Advertisement scheduling is a daily essential operational process in the television business. Efficient distribution of viewers among advertisers allows the television network to satisfy contracts and increase ad sale revenues. Ad scheduling is a challenging multiperiod, mixed-integer programming problem in which the network must create schedules to meet advertisers’ campaign goals and maximize ad revenues. Each campaign must meet a specific target group of viewers and a unique set of constraints. Moreover, the number of viewers is uncertain. To solve this problem, S. Souyris, S. Seshadri, and S. Subramanian develop and implement a practical approach that combines mathematical programming and machine learning to create daily schedules. According to standard business metrics and the small integer programming gap, these schedules are of high quality. Using their methods, leading networks in the United States and India experience a 3% to 5% revenue increase, which translates to about $60 million annually for one prominent user.

Perspectivas para o trabalho no Brasil
Authors: Filgueiras Vitor Araújo 
Published: January 2023

Este artigo está sendo redigido durante o segundo turno das eleições presidenciais de 2022. Não se sabe, portanto, quem estará à frente do Poder Executivo Federal daqui a menos de 3 meses. Pensar em projetos e suas possíveis implementações, nessas circunstâncias, demanda considerar que dois cenários muito distintos estão no horizonte, mas apenas um deles vigorará em 2023. O objetivo deste texto é demonstrar como as perspectivas para o trabalho no Brasil dependem da forma como as forças do trabalho assumirão (ou não) as narrativas empresariais sobre políticas públicas, considerando as experiências já vividas no país. É preciso que as forças do trabalho adotem nortes mais críticos, e condição necessária para isso é a formulação e disseminação de uma agenda própria e consistente por trabalhadores e suas instituições. Caso mude o governo, há condições de alterar os nortes das políticas públicas no campo do trabalho mesmo sem alteração legislativa e impacto orçamentário.

História, lutas e desafios da organização do Movimento Nacional da População de Rua (MNPR)
Authors: Da Silva José Arnaldo Gama 
Published: January 2023

Este artigo busca debater as possibilidades de organização de setores da classe trabalhadora, os quais se encontram em situação de rua. Nesse caminho, experiências mundiais de organização das classes subalternas em situação de rua são importantes, já que o fenômeno do pauperismo é histórico e tem escala global. Em tempos de avanço do neoliberalismo, de um lado, que tem por objetivo a destruição total dos direitos sociais, e de outro, de crise dos instrumentos clássicos de organização da classe trabalhadora, como partidos políticos e sindicatos, lançar a possibilidade de organizar trabalhadores em situação de rua torna-se um desafio ainda maior. No Brasil, a criação do Movimento Nacional da População de Rua (MNPR), em 2005, foi um passo fundamental nesse sentido. Palavras-Chave: Pauperização. Movimento Social.

A actividade tutelada como prática de autonomização dos indivíduos sem-abrigo em Portugal: uma análise crítica
Authors: Aldeia João 
Published: January 2023

Nas sociedades ocidentais, a intervenção sobre a vida na rua pressupõe que cada indivíduo é sem-abrigo devido a uma falha íntima que deve ser corrigida através de um processo de ressubjectivação que o autonomize, tornando-o capaz de sair da rua e garantir a sua sobrevivência pelo desempenho de uma actividade remunerada. Uma das práticas de intervenção mais relevantes é a injunção à actividade, um procedimento pelo qual os sujeitos sem-abrigo são incentivados, de forma suave ou coerciva, a realizarem actividades diversas sob a orientação de outrem. O objectivo da realização destas actividades é levar a que os indivíduos sem-abrigo se produzam a si mesmos como sujeitos empenhados em modificar quem são. Com base num trabalho de campo*** que consistiu na observação directa da actuação de vários profissionais da intervenção sobre a vida na rua, bem como de interacções entre indivíduos sem-abrigo, foi possível constatar que o objectivo de autonomização não pode ser alcançado através da prática de injunção à actividade tutelada tal como esta é de facto desenvolvida. Dados os obstáculos estruturais à saída da rua e a situação de heteronomia em que estas práticas de autonomização decorrem, elas bloqueiam quer a autonomia dos sujeitos sem-abrigo, quer a transformação íntima que visam promover. Palavras-Chave: actividade; autonomia; indivíduos sem-abrigo; subjectivação.*** Este texto é uma versão revista de uma secção da minha tese de doutoramento em sociologia (Aldeia, 2016a).

Over 30  W single-frequency all-fiber amplifier at 1120  nm with high ASE suppression
Authors: Liu Liu , Li Can , Tao Yue , Jiang Man , Ma Pengfei , Zhou Pu 
Published: January 2023

A 1120 nm linearly polarized all-fiber single-frequency amplifier based on
Yb-doped fiber (YDF) is reported. A maximum output power of
30 W is achieved by 976 nm clad-pumping and
1018 nm core-pumping, with corresponding slope efficiencies of
51.9% and 70.0%, respectively. With the 976 nm clad-pumping
configuration, a signal to amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) ratio
of more than 45 dB is realized at maximum output power. The
polarization extinction ratio of the amplifier is measured to be more
than 21 dB in the whole power scaling process. In addition, the
intensity noise of the amplifier at maximum output power is also
characterized to be around

at frequencies above 2 kHz and
is comparable to that of the seed laser. Moreover, the deterioration
of frequency noise and linewidth of the amplified laser is negligible.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest output power of a
single-frequency all-fiber amplifier that exploits the fundamental
transition of YDF at 1120 nm, even without any external
intervention for suppressing ASE in the short wavelength range.
