Prognostic factors of recurrence after an intralesional excision of benign bone tumour in the peripheral skeleton
Authors: Pilič Turk Luka , Mavčič Blaž 
Published: November 2022

Background: Most aggressive benign bone tumours are treated surgically by an intralesional excision and bone defect filling. The primary aim of our study was to evaluate prognostic factors of recurrence after an intralesional excision of a benign bone tumour in the peripheral skeleton. We asked whether patient age and gender, maximal tumour diameter, histological diagnosis, and the tumour’s location statistically significantly impact postoperative tumour recurrences. The secondary aim was to evaluate preoperative differences between different histopathological groups of benign bone tumours and the impact of age and gender, maximal tumour diameter, histological diagnosis, and the tumour location on the number of diagnostic biopsies and curative surgical procedures.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data included a cohort of patients operated on at a single tertiary tumour centre between 2010 and 2020 with at least one-year follow-up. Ordinal logistic regression was used to assess the influence of input variables on the number of diagnostic/curative surgical procedures and postoperative recurrences.
Results: The cohort analysis included 261 patients with 61 local recurrences. The risk of tumour recurrence was significantly lower with higher patient age (p = 0.001) and tumour location in the distal femur (p = 0.033). Higher number of diagnostical procedures correlated with higher patient age (p = 0.028), larger maximal tumour diameter (p = 0.035) and connective tissue tumour diagnosis (p = 0.027). Higher number of curative procedures correlated with larger maximal tumour diameter (p = 0.008) and lower patient age (p = 0.001).
Conclusions: Preoperative features of benign bone tumours significant impact the number of surgical procedures needed to treat the tumour and the risk of postoperative recurrence. Although most of these factors are nonmodifiable, they represent an incentive to create evidence-based guidelines for biopsy indications, surgical techniques and consistent postoperative follow-up.

Authors: Renders Helmut 
Published: November 2022

Este artigo dialoga com o tema O amor de Cristo conduz o mundo à reconciliação e à unidade da XI Assembleia do Conselho Mundial das Igrejas. Trata-se tanto de uma problematização como de um alargamento do tema, apontando um desafio externo a e interno das igrejas cristãs. Na sua primeira parte, em conversa com Hartmut Rosa, discute-se o impacto da aceleração do tempo às dinâmicas que acompanham processos de reconciliação e introduz-se o conceito da ressonância para articular desfechos mais favoráveis. Na segunda e terceira parte, discute-se primeiramente a relação da reconciliação como promotora da justiça e, num segundo momento, o fortalecimento da virtude da retidão, ambas entendidas como aspectos sociais e pessoais essenciais para que processos de reconciliação sejam eficazes, transformadores e duradores. Espera-se, dessa forma, contextualizar melhor o desafio de promover dinâmicas de reconciliação no contexto da modernidade tardia, altamente caracterizada pelas dinâmicas da aceleração do tempo e as suas dissonâncias e alienações acompanhantes, e envolver nesses processos diversas vertentes da Igreja com agendas distintas – enfatizando ou temas da justiça social ou da retidão pessoal – porém, complementares – ou “reconciliáveis” e “ressoantes” – em potencial.
Problems of the effectiveness of international cooperation of the Customs authorities of the Russian Federation in the law enforcement sphere
Authors: Ovchinnikov Sergei Nikolaevich , Atamanchuk Vadim Valentinovich 
Published: November 2022

The article is devoted to the analysis of current international legal problems of international cooperation of the customs authorities of the Russian Federation in the law enforcement sphere. The paper analyzes the performance indicators of the Federal Customs Service of Russia in the law enforcement sphere during 2013-2021. As can be seen from the official statistics of the customs authorities of the Russian Federation, the share of indicators achieved using various forms of legal assistance is extremely small against the background of general indicators. At the same time, the quantitative effectiveness of the use of these methods remains, and even a slight increase is observed, however, against the background of an even greater increase in overall indicators, the share of results achieved with the use of forms of legal assistance has fallen significantly. Such a situation testifies to the insufficiently effective development of international customs cooperation in the law enforcement sphere and indicates the presence of significant unresolved problems in this area. The preservation and improvement of quantitative indicators of efficiency with a huge decline in the share among the general indicators, which indicates the insufficiently effective development of international customs cooperation in the law enforcement sphere, has been revealed. As a solution to the problem, recommendations on improving strategic documents defining the legal policy of the Russian Federation in the field of customs service development are presented. Taking into account the expansion of the tasks of international cooperation in the customs sphere, it seems advisable to expand the geography of this cooperation by prioritizing interaction with the customs services of the EAEU, BRICS, SCO member states - in this case, the geography of international customs cooperation will coincide with the priority areas of international cooperation of the Russian Federation as a whole, which, with the help of the existing legal and technical base of these organizations that will quickly create suitable conditions for international cooperation of customs authorities, including in the field of law enforcement.

Published: November 2022

Background
Research into the kettlebell swing has increased in the last decade. There has been a paucity of literature assessing an individual’s ability to perform the kettlebell swing exercise. The purpose of this study was to determine the test-retest reliability of the one and five repetition maximum (1RM and 5RM) kettlebell swing.

Materials & Methods
Twenty four recreational resistance-trained participants performed an isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) and two familiarization sessions followed by three test sessions for each RM load approximately one week apart, using a custom-built plate-loaded kettlebell. On each test occasion, subjects completed a series of warm-up sets followed by 3–4 progressively heavier kettlebell swings to a standardized height until 1RM or 5RM was reached. Test-retest reliability was calculated using the intra-class correlation (ICC) and typical error was represented as the coefficient of variation (CV%) with 90% confidence limits (90% CL). The smallest worthwhile change (SWC%) representing the smallest change of practical importance, was calculated as 0.2 × between-subject standard deviation. The relationship of kettlebell swing performance and maximum strength was determined by Pearson correlation with ±90% CL between the absolute peak force recorded during IMTP and 1RM or 5RM.

Results
Results demonstrated a high test-retest reliability for both the 1RM (ICC = 0.97, 90% CL [0.95–0.99]; CV = 2.7%, 90% CL [2.2–3.7%]) and 5RM (ICC = 0.98, 90% CL [0.96–0.99]; CV = 2.4%, 90% CL [1.9–3.3%]), respectively. The CV% was lower than the SWC for both the 1RM (SWC = 2.8%, 90% CL [1.9–3.5]) and 5RM (SWC = 2.9%, 90% CL [1.9–3.6]) kettlebell swing. The correlation between IMTP absolute peak force and the 1RM (r = 0.69, 90% CL 0.43–0.83) was large and very large for the 5RM (r = 0.75, 90% CL [0.55–0.87]).

Conclusions
These results demonstrate the stability of 1RM and 5RM kettlebell swing performance after two familiarization sessions. Practitioners can be confident that changes in kettlebell swing 1RM and 5RM performance of >3.6 kg represent a practically important difference, which is the upper limit of the 90% CL.

Tomato is a popular and extensively cultivated vegetable among the economically promising commodities in the horticulture sector in Kenya. It provides a wide variety of nutrients with many health-related benefits. This study investigated the effect of integration of pruning and earthing up on postharvest. The experiments were carried out in a split-plot arranged in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) and in CRD for both field and laboratory work respectively. Fruit yield data was taken after each harvest. The results from the analysis of variance for the effect of factors (earthing up and pruning system) and their combined effect showed that there was a significant effect on the average weight loss percentage and total soluble solids in both cultivations. The treatments had a significant effect on the average weight loss percentage, total soluble solids, and fruit firmness in both cultivations. The highest fruit weight loss percentages were recorded from all stem pruning system with no earthing up. The highest fruit firmness (3.41 N mm-1 in cultivation 1 and 3.24 N mm-1 in cultivation 2) was recorded from a single stem pruning system and earthing up to 30 cm. The highest total soluble solids (TSS) percentage 6.09 % was recorded in both cultivations under a single stem pruning system and earthing up to 30 cm. To improve tomato postharvest, farmers are encouraged to consider triple stem pruning system in combination with earthing up to level 30 cm.

Published: November 2022

Background: COVID-19 Pandemic had led to an unprecedented emergency which led to many transformations in all aspects of life including dietary practices. A good and balanced die played a crucial role in prevention of disease and faster recovery. For a good dietary practice, knowledge and awareness is needed. Even the SDG 2 deals with food, nutrition and curbing with hunger. The purpose of this study was to explore the awareness of good dietary habits and the nutritional content of everyday meals among rural communities as well as to assess the nutritional status and physical activity.
Methods: This was a observational cross-sectional study conducted amongst the community of from two rural zones in Jalgaon district, Maharashtra in April to June 2022. Convenience sampling with the sample size as 40 households residing in the community was used. The head of the family of each household were surveyed using a pre-designed and pre-tested structured questionnaire. The tool used to explore the daily food consumption, assessment of nutritional status and physical activities of the participants. The study also determined at people's awareness of what a balanced diet is and the concept/effects of malnutrition in addition to anthropometric measurements. Data was entered in spreadsheet and analysis was done with the Microsoft excel using descriptive statistics.
Results: Of those surveyed, regarding nutritional awareness, it was found that 92% and 82% of the subjects have not even heard of the term "Balanced diet" and “Malnutrition” respectively. The BMI ranges of the study subjects, showed that majority (22, 55%) of the study participants had normal BMI, followed by (13, 32.5%) as underweight i.e. BMI below 18.5 and (5; 12.5%) as pre-obese category, i.e. BMI above 25. It was observed that the individuals used to undertake around 8 hrs of physical activity per day on an average. Regarding the diet pattern, it was noted that rural communities still follow follows traditional wisdom of a balanced diet from ancestral roots. Due to poverty and lack of resources, they tend to stick to whatever is affordable and locally available.
Conclusion: Considering the significant unawareness regarding nutrition and balanced diet as observed, we conclude that the Government’ plans and efforts around food security will be more successful if raising public awareness about the significance of nutrition and food is the first step in this regard. The right to food and the right to health can only reach the rural areas when the awareness index in these areas is enhanced by utilizing all available tools and approaches.
Dicyanobenzothiadiazole (DCBT) Organic Dye as a Visible Light Absorbing Strong Photoinduced Oxidant with a 16 Microsecond Long‐Lived Excited State

AbstractStrong photoinduced oxidants are important to organic synthesis and solar energy conversion, to chemical fuels or electric. For these applications, visible light absorption is important to solar energy conversion and long‐lived excited states are needed to drive catalysis. With respect to these desirable qualities, a series of five 5,6‐dicyano[2,1,3]benzothiadiazole (DCBT) dyes are examined as organic chromophores that can serve as strong photooxidants in catalytic systems. The series utilizes a DCBT core with aryl groups on the periphery with varying electron donation strengths relative to the core. The dyes are studied via both steady‐state and transient absorption and emission studies. Additionally, computational analysis, voltammetry, crystallography, and absorption spectroelectrochemistry are also used to better understand the behavior of these dyes. Ultimately, a strong photooxidant is arrived at with an exceptionally long excited state lifetime for an organic chromophore of 16 µs. The long‐lived excited state photosensitizer is well‐suited for use in catalysis, and visible light driven photosensitized water oxidation is demonstrated using a water‐soluble photosensitizer.

AbstractBackgroundEffective cultural competency (CC) training for future health professionals is an important first step towards improving healthcare disparities (HCD). The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) now requires that institutions train residents and faculty members in CC relevant to the patient population they serve.MethodsUsing Kern's Model, we created and implemented a novel CC curriculum tailored to specific program needs in an emergency medicine residency program.ResultsAt the end of the curriculum, respondents reported having a better understanding of the importance of CC for their practice (p = 0.004) and of how a patient's personal and historical context affects treatment (p = 0.002). They also reported an increase in the frequency of practicing strategies to reduce bias in themselves (p < 0.001) and others (p < 0.001), as well as comfort interacting with and treating patients from different backgrounds (p < 0.001). Lastly, they reported improved preparedness to collaborate with communities to address HCD (p = 0.004) and to identify community leaders to do so (p < 0.001).ConclusionsThe challenges of CC training demonstrate the need for a standard yet adaptable framework. We have designed, implemented, and evaluated a novel curriculum tailored to the specific needs of our EM residency program. The curriculum improved participants' attitudes, preparedness, and self‐reported behaviors regarding CC and HCD. This framework represents an example of a successful model to meet ACGME requirements.
Data‐iteration cooperative adaptive cruise control of mixed heterogeneous vehicle platoons with unknown dynamic characteristics

Published: November 2022

AbstractThis paper considers the cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) problem of mixed heterogeneous vehicle platoons composed of human‐driven and CACC vehicles with unknown dynamic characteristics and an alternative to CACC for platooning of the heterogeneous vehicle platoon is presented. Adaptive dynamic programming is firstly used to learn the dynamic characteristics of acceleration of vehicles from the sampled data. Then the data‐iteration optimal CACC controller is computed to ensure that each CACC vehicle can reach a desired inter‐vehicle distance and desired common velocity with no prior knowledge of the dynamics of vehicles in the mixed platoon. Moreover, the string stability of the mixed vehicle platoon is derived by establishing some sufficient conditions on the acceleration transfer function of adjacent vehicles. Two simulation experiments of a six‐vehicle mixed platoon are used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed CACC method.
A Mellin transform approach to pricing barrier options under stochastic elasticity of variance
Authors: Kim Hyun‐Gyoon , Cao Jiling , Kim Jeong‐Hoon , Zhang Wenjun 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThis article considers a problem of evaluating barrier option prices when the underlying dynamics are driven by stochastic elasticity of variance (SEV). We employ asymptotic expansions and Mellin transform to evaluate the option prices. The approach is able to efficiently handle barrier options in a SEV framework and produce explicitly a semi‐closed form formula for the approximate barrier option prices. The formula is an expansion of the option price in powers of the characteristic amplitude scale and variation time of the elasticity and it can be calculated easily by taking the derivatives of the Black–Scholes price for a barrier option with respect to the underlying price and computing the one‐dimensional integrals of some linear combinations of the Greeks with respect to time. We confirm the accuracy of our formula via Monte‐Carlo simulation and find the SEV effect on the Black–Scholes barrier option prices.
Effects of social complexity and gender on social and non‐social attention in male and female autistic children: A comparison of four eye‐tracking paradigms
Authors: Putnam Orla C. , Sasson Noah , Parish‐Morris Julia , Harrop Clare 
Published: November 2022

AbstractEye tracking has long been used to characterize differences in social attention between autistic and non‐autistic children, but recent work has shown that these patterns may vary widely according to the biological sex of the participants and the social complexity and gender‐typicality of the eye tracking stimuli (e.g., barbies vs. transformers). To better understand effects of sex, social complexity, and object gender‐typicality on social and non‐social gaze behavior in autism, we compared the visual attention patterns of 67 autistic (ASD) and non‐autistic (NA) males (M) and females (F) (ASD M = 21; ASD F = 18; NA M = 14; NA F = 14) across four eye tracking paradigms varying in social complexity and object gender‐typicality. We found consistency across paradigms in terms of overall attention and attention to social stimuli, but attention to objects varied when paradigms considered gender in their stimulus design. Children attended more to gendered objects, particularly when the gender‐typicality of the object matched their assigned sex. These results demonstrate that visual social attention in autism is affected by interactions between a child's biological sex, social scene complexity, and object gender‐typicality and have broad implications for the design and interpretation of eye tracking studies.
Distinct social attention profiles in preschoolers with autism contrasted to fragile X syndrome

Published: November 2022

AbstractSocial attention is a critical skill for learning and development. Social attention difficulties are present in both non‐syndromic autism spectrum disorder (nsASD) and fragile X syndrome (FXS), and our understanding of these difficulties is complicated by heterogeneity in both disorders, including co‐occurring diagnoses like intellectual disability and social anxiety. Existing research largely utilizes a single index of social attention and rarely includes children with intellectual impairment or uses a cross‐syndrome approach. This study investigated whether multi‐trait social attention profiles including naturalistic initial eye contact, facial attention, and social scene attention differ in preschool children with nsASD and FXS matched on developmental ability (DQ) and contrasted to neurotypical (NT) controls. The relationship between DQ, ASD severity, and social anxiety and social attention profiles was also examined. Initial eye contact related to social scene attention, implicating that naturalistic social attention is consistent with responses during experimental conditions. Reduced eye contact and lower social scene attention characterized nsASD and FXS. Children with nsASD displayed less facial attention than FXS and NT children, who did not differ. Lower DQ and elevated ASD severity associated with decreased eye contact in nsASD and FXS, and lower DQ was associated with lower social scene attention in FXS. Sex, social anxiety, and age were not associated with social attention. These findings suggest social attention profiles of children with nsASD are highly similar to, yet distinct from, children with FXS. Children with nsASD may present with a global social attention deficit whereas FXS profiles may reflect context‐dependent social avoidance.
Transcription‐independent functions of p53 in DNA repair pathway selection
Authors: Wang Yu‐Hsiu , Sheetz Michael P. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractRecently discovered transcription‐independent features of p53 involve the choice of DNA damage repair pathway after PARylation, and p53's complex formation with phosphoinositide lipids, PI(4,5)P2. PARylation‐mediated rapid accumulation of p53 at DNA damage sites is linked to the recruitment of downstream repair factors and tumor suppression. This links p53's capability to sense damaged DNA in vitro and its relevant functions in cells. Further, PI(4,5)P2 rapidly accumulates at damage sites like p53 and complexes with p53, while it is required for ATR recruitment. These findings help explain how p53 and PI(4,5)P2 maintain genome stability by directing DNA repair pathway choice. Additionally, there is a strong correlation between p53 sequence homology, genome mutation rates as well as lifespans across various mammalian species. Further investigation is required to better understand the connections between genome stability, tumor suppression, longevity and the transcriptional‐independent function of p53.
Wild animals as an underused treasure trove for studying the genetics of cancer
Authors: Sepp Tuul , Giraudeau Mathieu 
Published: November 2022

AbstractRecent years have seen an emergence of the field of comparative cancer genomics. However, the advancements in this field are held back by the hesitation to use knowledge obtained from human studies to study cancer in other animals, and vice versa. Since cancer is an ancient disease that arose with multicellularity, oncogenes and tumour‐suppressor genes are amongst the oldest gene classes, shared by most animal species. Acknowledging that other animals are, in terms of cancer genetics, ecology, and evolution, rather similar to humans, creates huge potential for advancing the fields of human and animal oncology, but also biodiversity conservation.
