description: This record contains raw data related to article "Total tumor volume as a predictor of survival in patients with multiple oligometastases treated with stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR)"
Abstract
Background: Delivering stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) in patients with multiple oligometastases represents a challenge for clinical and technical reasons. We aimed to evaluate the outcome of patients affected by multiple oligometastases treated with SABR and the impact of tumor volume on survival.
Materials and methods: We included all the patients treated with single course SABR for 3 to 5 extracranial oligometastases. All patients were treated with the volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) technique with ablative intent. End-points of the analysis were overall survival (OS), progression free survival (PFS), local control (LC) and toxicity.
Results: 136 patients were treated from 2012 to 2020 on 451 oligometastases. Most common primary tumor was colorectal cancer (44.1%) followed by lung cancer (11.8%). A total of 3, 4 and 5 lesions were simultaneously treated in 102 (75.0%), 26 (19.1%), and 8 (5.9%) patients, respectively. Median total tumor volume (TTV) was 19.1 cc (range 0.6-245.1). With a median follow-up of 25.0 months, OS at 1 and 3 years was 88.4% and 50.2%, respectively. Increasing TTV was independent predictive factor of worse OS (HR 2.37, 95% CI 1.18-4.78, p = 0.014) and PFS (HR 1.63, 95% CI 1.05-2.54; p = 0.028). Median OS was 80.6 months if tumor volume was ≤ 10 cc (1 and 3 years OS rate 93.6% and 77.5%, respectively), and 31.1 months if TTV was higher than 10 cc (1 and 3 years OS rate 86.7% and 42.3%, respectively). Rates of LC at 1 and 3 years were 89.3% and 76.5%. In terms of toxicity, no grade 3 or higher toxicity was reported both in the acute and late settings.
Conclusion: We demonstrated the impact of tumor volume on survival and disease control of patients affected by multiple oligometastases treated with single course SABR

title: Determinants of co-occurrences of diarrhea and fever among children under five years of age in South Sudan

description: Children in developing countries continue to suffer a disproportionate burden of morbidities, including diarrhea and fever, which are major causes of mortality. These morbidities tend to co-occur due to shared or overlapping risk factors. This study examines the determinants of co-occurrences of diarrhea and fever among children under five years of age (n = 8,338) in South Sudan using the national representative sample drawn from the 2010 South Sudan Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS4). The results show more than 50% of children under five are affected either by diarrhea (19%) or fever (16%), or both ailments (16%). Multinomial logistic regression analysis shows that variables related to the individual (child’s age, breastfeeding status, uptake of vitamin A supplements), family (mother’s pregnancy status, family wealth index), hygiene (water treatment status, waste disposal practices), and environment (national state of residency) significantly influence comorbidities among children under five years relative to children with neither diarrhea nor fever in South Sudan.The study suggests the need for parents and caregivers to be well advised and equipped with customized sanitation and hygiene skills to combat infectious diseases, so that they can play a key role in reducing comorbidities and mortalities among children under five years of age in their communities.

title: Retaining remote workers: factors that affect virtual and hybrid workers' job retention, retaining remote workers: factors that affect virtual and hybrid workers' job retention

description: Many organizations were not prepared for their workforce to work remotely before the COVID-19 pandemic, but despite the challenges, most people have adapted to this new way of working “remotely.” It is expected that this work trend is here to stay, with many organizations considering whether to allow workers to work fully remotely – also known as “virtually” – or to allow some flexibility for workers to choose whether to work a few days remotely – also known as a “hybrid” work mode. The objective of this study is to use factors from Herzberg’s motivation-hygiene theory, Deci’s self-determination theory, and life-course fit theory to better understand their effects on virtual and hybrid workers’ job retention. The research questions are as follows: 1) Is there a relationship between pay, promotion, supervision, fringe benefits, life-course fit, intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, and need for relatedness and job retention for virtual and hybrid workers? 2) Is the relationship of each factor with job retention moderated by job level (operational/specialist workers vs. managerial workers) and virtual intensity (virtual workers vs. hybrid workers)? Using the structural equation model (SEM), the results indicate that none of the motivator-hygiene factors – pay, promotion, supervision, and fringe benefits – significantly contribute to virtual and hybrid workers’ job retention. On the other hand, there is a significant relationship between life-course fit and job retention, which signifies that work/life interruption and family arrangements have a significant impact on virtual and hybrid workers’ job retention. There are also significant relationships between both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and job retention for virtual and hybrid workers, hence, to retain virtual and hybrid workers, organizations and managers must keep workers motivated both intrinsically and extrinsically. The interaction effect of “job level” as a moderating variable shows that the relationship between pay, promotion, fringe benefits, extrinsic motivation, and need for relatedness and job retention is more negative for managerial-level workers than for operational/specialist-level workers; and only life-course fit is more positively related to managers and above. The interaction effect of “virtual intensity” as a moderating variable shows that the relationship between pay and supervision and job retention is more positive for virtual workers than for hybrid workers, whereas the relationship between fringe benefits, life-course fit, and extrinsic motivation and job retention is more negative for virtual workers than for hybrid workers.

title: Thai Immigration Deportation Dilemma: an English school analysis

description: International Relations (IR) have been preoccupied and dominated by some of the theoretical approaches such as realism, liberalism, constructivism, and their ‘neo’ branches. However, it is evident that the aforementioned theories also limit the framework of their discussion, elaboration, and the knowledge fostered with regards to the analysis of our world. Therefore, this research study proposes another potential IR theory called ‘The English School (International Society)’ as a core theory to analyse the Thai Immigration’s deportation dilemma regarding factors driving Thailand to change its decisions and course towards human rights. The research begins with an overview of The Thai Immigration Bureau’s structure, source of power and jurisdiction, immigration mechanisms, legal commitment, and organizational culture such as its bureaucratic nature and relationship with the government. Subsequently, the prominent cases leading to Thai immigration dilemmas, namely, the case of Rahaf Mohammed (formerly Rahaf Mohammed al-Qunun), Hakeem al-Araibi, and several other relevant cases are discussed respectively. The research findings reveal four major factors which influenced The Thai Immigration to change their decisions: (1) states and the group of states (intergovernmental organisations), (2) non-states actors, (4) social media and mass media, and (4) the government and bureaucracy. Altogether, these factors are the secondary institutions which promote and extend the primary institutions, human rights, over Thai authorities. The pattern can be demonstrated as ‘Complex Governance’, multiple routes of factors/actors. Moreover, the pattern leads to the finding of ‘semi-solidarist International Society’: a combination of pluralism and solidarism. While the International Society allows the existence of ‘sovereignty’ in the name of national security, ‘human rights’ is worshipped to safeguard humanity.

title: Changing the role of South Asian women in politics

description: South Asian women are prone to hurdles and challenges, as to be a leader in any given specialist field. To acquire accessible rights, women are supposedly needed to take initiatives as an activist. These notions are seen to be stronger in the context of South Asian countries, whereby, countless numbers of women are dominated in a male-dominated society. Despite such, women in South Asian region are rising up to becoming leaders, not only political leaders, but also, business leaders. Seeing such developments, this study focuses on identifying success factors that leads to the empowerment of women in South Asian countries. In an attempt to achieve the research aim, this study utilizes a qualitative research design, acquiring information via secondary sources of credible platforms. The secondary sources design revolves, firstly, around the history of patriarchal society in South Asian region, identifying the context of emerging women power in western and Asian world, and the transformation in gender relations in South Asia. With respect to the findings, this paper suggests key recommendations in maintaining an unbiased environment in the South Asian countries, and key policy recommendation revolving around education policies, family-friendly policies, inclusion policies, and workplace and employment policies.

title: Thai export during global COVID-19 pandemic

description: The global disruption of COVID-19 pandemic has widely raised concerns among global leadership institutions, especially, WHO. It does not concern only for global health issues, but it also responded to rising problems of economic impact. Even though, Thailand was ranked within the first tier group of strongest health policy for the COVID-19 management. But, the lacunae, however, was found in terms of the economic mismanagement due to complications of the situation that occurred in Thailand tourism and export economy. This paper examines, in general, the short-term economic effects on Thailand's export which caused by the national lockdown policy during the COVID-19 global widespread. This study aims to understand, in particular, how the 20-Year National Strategic Plan would fairly be one of the root causes of economic mismanagement of Thai government towards COVID-19 economic impact. This study employed the qualitative methodology in order to acquire data. The data will be collected from (1) documents from the government official websites, World Bank data, Economics journals, newspapers, and other related-academic studies; (2) conference participation of the affected groups of Thailand’s leading exporters and public authorities during August, 29 to 31, 2020 at Royal City Hotel (Bangkok) on the agenda of “Strengthening Capacity of Industrial Competitiveness in the aftermath of the COVID-19.” The findings show that Thailand’s export economy was affected by the COVID-19 in different sectors, but not all of them, such as the jewelry exporters. But, some of them are still operable and benefited such as the electronics industries and cardboard exporters. Although, the COVID-19 complicates the problems of Health, but the deep reason of economic miscalculation lied within the rationale of the National Strategic Principle. Because of the struggling threat perceptions and inability to change, this paper argues that the 20-Year plan contributes to the economic unpreparedness in Thailand's export economy amidst global disorders.

title: Deconstructing the Marvel Cinematic Universe: the security/popular architecture of American identity and threat perception

description: The film has become increasingly popular and more accessible in the age of globalization. Superhero genre especially from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) can be considered as the manifestation of global politics as it has shaped and represented how we think and visualize global politics and their security architectures. Moreover, in the field of international relations (IR), though some theories especially mainstream have been applied to the film studies, the MCU especially the latter series have never been untouched. This paper mainly uses theory of post-structuralism and the concept of architecture as event space introduced by Michael Shapiro in order to illustrate how films can portray the American identity, with the emphasis of identity of victim and savior, and how threats are perceived in the US foreign policy discourse, from terrorism, disaster, pandemic, national security, and human security. This paper selects four films i.e., The Avengers, Avengers : Age of Ultron, Avengers : Infinity War, and Avengers Endgame as case studies. In addition, the paper also examine how the concept of architecture of security such as buildings and locations throughout the series have played significant roles in emphasizing hidden meanings and agendas in global politics. Finally, the paper also discover the challenge on existing hegemonic discourses, such as the discourse of men as ‘protector’ and the discourse of Africa as ‘backward and uncivilized’.

title: Indonesia: domestic politics and its influence in foreign policy towards China’s belt and road initiative

description: This thesis founded that the process of foreign policy change is a result of the domestic politics that change whenever there is a new leader that comes into power. Especially, when a newly elected president takes control, it always brings about change in the government actor; however, despite this, the political systems dominated by political elites and military still persist. The new government comes with new interests that results in a new foreign policy direction and goals as they may not have been satisfied with the previous government’s performance and the difference in terms of how they defined the term “national interest”. Moreover, the Chinese factor also played a different role in the SBY and Jokowi governments which resulted in great foreign policy shifts as well.

title: Climate change under Trump administration: an analysis of domestic politics in foreign policy making

description: In 2017, President Donald Trump announced U.S. Paris Agreement withdrawal. Trump administration also began to revise and rescind the existing efforts meant to mitigate climate change impacts made by Obama administration. These behaviors are unconventional given the dreadful climate change impacts. Additionally, they went against global trend and public opinion. Several pieces of research analyze the rationales behind this decision. However, they focus on Trump‘s psychological factors especially on how he is a climate change denier. To fill the gap, this research aims to investigate the causes of U.S. Paris Agreement withdrawal and declining contribution toward climate change mitigation by emphasizing on domestic political explanation. Accordingly, this research employs document analysis to study the development and policymaking process of U.S. climate change policy to analyze significant domestic actors involved in policymaking. The research used 3 main concepts; Issue Salience, Elites in Policy Making and Two Level Game to further analyze factors shaping actors‘ decision. This research finds out that values and preferences of domestic actors have influenced the current policy direction as a result of U.S. domestic politics. More specifically, it was Republican modern conservative values shared by significant climate change policymakers during Trump era. Since the Party values individual freedom and economic prosperity, leading them to downgrade climate change concern, question its scientific consensus and oppose environmental regulations. Also the preferences of industrial interest groups, namely fossil fuel and automobile companies, who have sought to reduce burdens and costs on their businesses.

title: Social construction of Shan nationalism: a case study of the Shan State Army-South (SSA-South)

description: Despite various ceasefire agreements, violence in Shan state of Myanmar has not subsided. The Shan State Army-South (SSA-South) is one of anti-government insurgents that dismiss ceasefire agreements and continue their fight despite their lack of funding and well-organised military forces to fight for a separate Shan state from Myanmar. Due to the fact that the Shan nationalist movement is fragmented and divided into various groups, many groups have chosen to give up their fight or even cooperate with the central government of Myanmar. However, in the case of the SSA-South, they not only refuse to surrender but also persist with their fight regardless of structural changes in Myanmar’s political landscape. Their fight is sustained by a common myth and belief in the rights and legitimacy of Shan nationhood which is a product of social construction dating back to colonial times and the first Panglong agreement. There are multiple channels that have been used to maintain Shan national identity. This thesis aims to examine how Shan nationalism and national identity are fortified through social constructivism but maintained and disseminated by multiple channels of social communication.
