Background:
Phyllodes tumors are uncommon biphasic breast tumors for which clinical findings remain insufficient to determine the optimal management strategy. The aim of this study was to report our experience of the clinicopathological features, prognostic factors, surgical treatment, and outcomes of patients presenting with phyllodes tumors in two different periods.

Materials and Methods:
We retrospectively reviewed the clinical and pathological data of 611 patients with histologically proven phyllodes tumors. The patients were separated into two groups: Period A, those who were treated from January 2006 to August 2013, and period B, those who were treated from September 2013 to September 2019. Clinical characteristics, histopathologic parameters, and outcomes were collected from patient records, and parameters were compared between the two periods.

Results:
The median follow-up was 7 months (range 0.5–84) in treatment period A and 14 months (range 0.5–118) in treatment period B. The median age was 38 years (range 12–75) in treatment period A and 40 years (range 12–79) in treatment period B. Analysis of the two treatment periods revealed an increase in tumor size at the diagnosis from 3.6 cm during period A to 4.5 cm during period B (P = 0.001). Most tumors were found in the upper outer quadrant, with an equal propensity to occur in either breast (34.6% vs. 42.2%). The pathologic diagnoses included 419 benign, 97 borderline, and 40 malignant lesions. Sixty cases (20 in period A and 40 in period B) experienced recurrence after surgery, including 35 benign phyllodes tumors (43% vs. 57%), 16 borderline tumors (38% vs. 63%), and 9 malignant tumors (44% vs. 56%) in either period (P = 0.003). Three cases (0.5%) (1 in period A and 2 in period B) had pulmonary metastases (0.3% vs. 0.7%). Multivariable linear regression analysis revealed that tumor size and a positive or undetermined surgical margin were the independent predictors of recurrence (P = 0.006, 0.020, and 0.004, respectively).

Conclusion:
Breast-conserving surgery with clear margins is technically feasible and a safe treatment for phyllodes tumors, but this strategy does not effectively further reduce local recurrence. Our findings demonstrated that clinical characteristics, tumor size, surgical margin, and pathologic features are the important predictors for tumor recurrence in patients with phyllodes tumors.

Exploring Ethical Dilemma in Big Data Analytics: A Literature Review
Authors: Leung Kelvin Tak Yiu , Dembicz Antos , Stevenson Anne 
Published: March 2022

Big data analytics has remarkably transformed every sector of the world, including the Emergency Service sector, health sector, science, and space, as well as the business sector, in the way they manage and run their activities every day. Big data analytics has made it possible and easier for all of these sectors to predict future outcomes, make more adequate critical decisions, and take more effective actions respectively. It now gives businesses the power to obtain, access, and leverage customers' data, and even control their behaviors. Many sectors are leveraging big data in that respect, especially businesses. They are incorporating big data analytical tools to obtain their users' data and access their personal information, such as their interests, behavioral pattern, ideas, security details, personal interactions, etc, which they store and leverage for their benefits. This information is obtained and accessed usually without the conscious knowledge and approval of their consumers. This is the major factor that has raised ethical concerns among several leaders and experts about the extent of the personal information that can be accessed, as well as the safety and wellbeing of the common people who are unaware that their personal information is being obtained, accessed, and used. Another concern is about the freedom of individuals. With the innovation and implementation of big data analytics, many of the businesses can technically control their users; what they want, need, and do, and thus, depriving them of the freedom to make decisions on their own. There is also another concern concerning the safety of the intellectual property of individuals and corporations. Big data analytics can lead to intellectual property infringement and theft, thereby denying people and bodies the right to their ideas and innovations. While on one hand big data analytics yield great promises, on the other hand, it raises critical ethical (security and privacy) issues, which if left unaddressed may become significant barriers to the fulfillment of expected opportunities and long-term success of big data. In this paper, we discuss the ethical dilemmas in big data analytics.

Published: March 2022

The over-reliance on oil export revenue with little attention to non-oil export has subjected the Nigerian economy to recurring adverse external shocks which further aggravate the problem of balance of payment deficit in Nigeria. Therefore, study set out to examine the impact of non-oil exports on balance of payment disequilibrium in Nigeria. The data used for this study is secondary in nature and it spans from 1970 to 2018. The study employed econometric tools of ARDL Cointegration analysis and ARDL Error Correction Model to explore the long run relationship and the impact of non-oil exports on balance of payment disequilibrium respectively. The result of Wald bound test revealed that there is existence of co-movement between non-oil exports and balance of payment while long run ARDL Error Correction Model results showed that non-oil export has significant negative impact on balance of payment disequilibrium. In the same vein, inflation and interest rate also have negative impact on balance of payment disequilibrium but interest rate is insignificant. Findings from the study also exhibited positive relationship between exchange rate, trade openness and balance of payment. However, the positive impact of exchange rate on balance of payment is significant while that of trade openness is not significant. The study, thus concluded based on the findings that the non-oil export has not been contributing positively to improve the balance of payment position in Nigeria. In line with these findings, the study recommended that government should devise plans and strategies of boost the non-oil export sectors such as agricultural, manufacturing, solid minerals and service sectors in order to build virile and strong non-oil export sectors that can achieve favourable balance of payment. Moreover, the citizens of Nigeria should be motivated by one way or the others to have a taste for locally produced goods.

Published: March 2022

The originality of the present work is to study, for the 1st time, the existence of shell shape deformation in Mytilus galloprovincialis mussel from Morocco Atlantic coasts, in relation with local environmental parameters. A slight difference is noted in the average calcium concentrations between the 2 sites, with values of 10.02⸱10–2 ± 0.15 mM and 10.3⸱10–2 ± 0.15 mM respectively at Haouzia and Jorf-Lasfar sites. A significant season al variation was observed in both sites, with the existence of 2 concentration peaks during the months of April and September. These results are correlated with the physicochemical records with the existence of a salinity gradient. Shell deformation was observed in 25.9 % of all individuals from Jorf-Lasfar site. These individuals (group 2) show a higher concentration of calcium ions in their shells, a reduced width and increased thickness.
HIGHLIGHTS
Due to increasing pressure of pollution and environmental factors on mussels from morocco coastal line, our research team investigated disturbance on shell shape by carrying out morphometric and calcium ions titration study:

At a morphometric level, we found that individuals with shell deformity lose width and gain thickness
At a physiological level, these individuals have an increased amount of calcium ions in the shell compared to mussels with no shell deformation
Suspected effect of environmental parameters on Mytilus galloprovincialis physiology

Mulberry fruit has a short shelf life of only 1 - 2 days under room conditions, make it one of the most fragile and extremely perishable fruits. This study investigated the effects of exogenous methyl jasmonate (MeJA) combined with polyethylene bag (PE) on postharvest decay, total ascorbic acid, total phenolic, anthocyanin, and antioxidant activities in 'Kamphaeng Saen 42’ mulberry fruits. The study was conducted at Postharvest Quality and Storage System Laboratory, Division of AgriScience and Technology (Postharvest Technology), Faculty of Bioresources and Technology, King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi in December 2019. The experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 4 replicates and 2 treatments consisting of 1) untreated with MeJA (control) and 2) fruits treated with 10 mmol L-1 methyl jasmonate (MeJA) combination with polyethylene bag (PE) and maintained at 10 ± 2 °C, 90 ± 2 % relative humidity (RH). The results showed that treating the mulberry fruits with 10 mmol L-1 MeJA before placing them in the PE bag was the most effective method to reduce fruit decay and also resulted in higher levels of total ascorbic acid, total phenols, and antioxidant activities than in the control at the end of storage (55.14 mg/100 g FW, 43.78 mg GAE /g FW and 28.91 mM TE /100 g FW), respectively. However, the treated fruits showed lower anthocyanin content than the control during the first 8 days of storage. These results suggest that the combination of MeJA with PE bag is beneficial in reducing fruit decay and increasing total ascorbic acid, total phenols, and antioxidant activities in 'Kamphaeng Saen 42’ mulberry fruits during storage at 10 ± 2 °C, 90 ± 2 % RH for 10 days.
HIGHLIGHTS

Mulberry fruit is one of the most fragile and extremely perishable fruits resulting in its has short shelf life
Exogenous MeJA combined with PE bag were applied to decay reduction and enhanced total ascorbic acid, total phenolic, and antioxidant activities in ‘Kamphaeng Saen 42’ mulberry fruit
Mulberry fruits treated with 10 µmolL-1 MeJA combined with PE bag were the most effective in reducing fruit decay and increasing total ascorbic acid, total phenols, and antioxidant activities in 'Kamphaeng Saen 42’ mulberry fruits

Published: March 2022

Adsorption process has been performed to investigate the potentiality of coriander leaf to sequester brilliant green (BG) dye from the aqueous phase. Coriander leaf of 75-micron size has been characterized by SEM, BET, FTIR etc. In the present study, emphasis has been given on the removal of BG dye under different conditions viz. dose of biomaterial (10.0 - 100.0 mg), pH (2.0 - 12.0) and dye concentration (10.0 - 100.0 mg/L) by Taguchi optimization. The batch experiments have been conducted at 25 ℃ with stirring speed of 120.0 rpm. The kinetic study is performed at two different temperatures, 30 and 40 ℃. The batch adsorption process for sequestration of the dye followed pseudo-2nd order kinetics (R2 = 0.99). The study also reveals that the Freundlich isotherm is the best fitted (R2 = 0.96) model. The adsorption capacity is 68.49 mg/g and the overall removal efficiency is above 80.0 %.
HIGHLIGHTS

The coriander leaf (75-micron) has been investigated as an effective adsorbent for Brilliant green dye in aqueous environment
Effects of physico-chemical properties of adsorbent (BET, pZC, zeta potential, bulk density, moisture, ash etc.) and the role of several operating parameters (contact time, pH, dose and concentration) have been investigated
Langmuir, Freundlich isotherm models and pseudo-second-order kinetic model favour the adsorption phenomena

Authors: Sharma Nishant , Habibullah Parveen Sultana 
Published: March 2022

Connected Autonomous Vehicles Ecosystem (CAVE) is fast becoming a reality. This paper reviews various architectures that leverage IoT technology to progressively create a system of interconnected Autonomous Vehicles (AV) that is effective, robust and secure. Accurate and fast perception of the external environment is key to movement of AVs in CAVE. IoT technology through sensors and internetworking can help an AV to do reliable perception. State of the art methods for perception of AVs in CAVE are reviewed. Self-awareness is another important aspect. IoT and Artificial Intelligence (AI) can come together to assist an AV in self-diagnosing anything abnormal. One such use case is presented for onboard diagnostics in an AV. Accurate AI is key to making effective strategies and to take control actions with error feedbacks that carefully maneuver an AV from its source to destination. The transition from legacy vehicles to CAVE requires AI methods that combat threats and have effective overall movement in mixed mode traffic systems (MMTS). Strategies for effective movement in MMTS are presented.
HIGHLIGHTS

Role of IoT technology is identified in different areas of Connected Autonomous Vehicle Ecosystem (CAVE)
A comparison of different technologies in various domains of CAVE is presented and their pros and cons are discussed
Use case for onboard diagnostics of an autonomous vehicle in CAVE is presented to emphasize the role of IoT Technology in [automated] preventive maintenance
Key studies are reviewed that emphasize important issues like robust architectures for CAVE, threats in CAVE and reliable functioning in mixed mode traffic systems

Widespread microplastic contamination has been of growing concern worldwide and poses a growing threat to the marine environment, particularly the impact on the food chain. This study quantified the presence of microplastics in two bivalves of commercial interest at the Pak Kadae Estuary, Bandon Bay, Surat Thani province, Thailand: green mussel Perna viridis (L.) and cockles Tegillarca granosa (L.). Data collection was carried out over two seasons: dry season (April - May 2019) and wet season (June - August 2019). Microplastics were extracted using a 10 % potassium hydroxide (KOH) digestion method and then identified under a microscope. Results confirmed the presence of microplastics in both cockles and green mussels, during the dry season, with mean concentrations of 0.30±0.07 and 1.26±0.10 items/individual, respectively. During the wet season, the mean microplastic concentrations were 0.20±0.07 and 0.56±0.15 items/individual in the cockles and green mussels, respectively. There was a greater concentration of microplastics found in green mussels compared to cockles (P < 0.05) with no seasonal variation being observed. Five different shapes of microplastics, including fiber, fragment, pellet, rod, and film, were detected in the soft tissues of the bivalves. Fibers were the most common shape in green mussels (49 - 69 %) during both seasons. Cockles, in contrast, predominantly contained the pellet shape in the dry season (49 %) and fiber in the wet season (59 %). In addition, the microplastic concentrations were positively correlated to shell heights of the bivalves (P < 0.01). The number of microplastics recorded in the two commercially exploited species demonstrated the need for controlling plastic pollution in coastal ecosystems.
HIGHLIGHTS

Green mussels showed higher contamination with microplastics than blood cockles
An average (Mean±SD) of 0.28±0.05 to 2.14±0.36 items/individual in cockles and 0.65±0.13 to 3.43±0.21 items /individual in mussels were obtained
Microplastic fibers were the dominant shape found in shellfish
Blue microplastics was the most frequently found in green mussels whereas the black color dominated in cockles

Selective laser melting (SLM) or powder bed fusion is a type of additive manufacturing technology with applications in, e.g., the orthopedics, energy, and aerospace industries. Several studies investigated the localized corrosion behavior of SLM-fabricated Type 316L (UNS S31603) stainless steel. However, little is known about the effects of tribocorrosive conditions on the response of stainless steels fabricated by SLM. In this study, the effects of third-body abrasive particles on the tribo-electrochemical behavior of SLM 316L stainless steel produced by SLM were investigated and compared with wrought counterparts (including UNS S31703, 317W) in 0.6 M NaCl. It was found that the presence of Mo played a more decisive role in the tribocorrosion behavior than the manufacturing method, i.e., 317W revealed the best tribocorrosion behavior vis-a-vis wrought 316L and the SLM-fabricated specimens. The improved tribocorrosion behavior contrasted with the much higher breakdown potential of the SLM-fabricated samples. Nano-scale secondary ion mass spectroscopy was used to investigate the effects of Mo on passivity. The implications of passivity and tribocorrosion behavior are discussed.
COMPUTES: DEVELOPMENT OF AN INSTRUMENT TO MEASURE INTRODUCTORY STATISTICS INSTRUCTORS’ EMPHASIS ON COMPUTATIONAL PRACTICES
Authors: LEGACY CHELSEY , ZIEFFLER ANDREW , BRONDOS FRY ELIZABETH , LE LAURA 
Published: March 2022

The influx of data and the advances in computing have led to calls to update the introductory statistics curriculum to better meet the needs of the contemporary workforce. To this end, we developed the COMputational Practices in Undergraduate TEaching of Statistics (COMPUTES) instrument, which can be used to measure the extent to which computation practices—specifically data, simulation, and coding practices—are included in the introductory statistics curriculum. Data from 236 instructors were used in a psychometric analysis to evaluate the latent structure underlying instructors’ response patterns and understand the quality of the items. We also examined whether computational practices are being emphasized differently across institutional settings. Results suggest that the latent structure is best captured using a correlated multidimensional model and that most items were contributing information to the measurement process. Across institutional settings, curricular emphasis related to data and simulation practices seem quite similar, while emphasis on coding practices differs.

Published: March 2022

The associations between social anxiety, attachment insecurity, and emotional schemas were investigated among college students in the current study. A correlational design was used, and 502 college students (64.7% female, 35.3% male) participated in the study. In data collection, the Experiences in Close Relationships Scale (ECR), Social Anxiety Scale (SAS), and Leahy Emotional Schema Scale (LESS) were used. In data analysis, the Pearson correlation and hierarchical regression analysis were used. Before conducting hierarchical regression analysis, multivariate outliers, multicollinearity, and normality were assessed. Results revealed that female students had higher scores on the dimension of social avoidance. Moreover, attachment insecurity (avoidant and anxious) and emotional schemas were significant predictors of social anxiety of college students.
