Thyroid Schwannoma Masquerading as a Neoplastic Lesion in an Adolescent Female- A Rare Case Report

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Primary schwannoma occuring in the thyroid gland is extremely rare. It appeared to be less than 1% of mesenchymal neoplasm of thyroid gland. Till date, there have been only 21 cases of primary schwannoma of thyroid gland reported in literature and only 1 case falls in the adolescent group. Majority of the cases were reported in the elderly age group. This report presents a rare case of schwannoma involving the right thyroid in a 16-year old adolescent female. She presented with a firm right neck mass, which moves with deglutition. Thyroid ultrasound revealed a single solitary right thyroid nodule. An ultrasound guided trucut biopsy of the nodule had aroused suspicion for thyroid neoplastic lesion. Right hemithyroidectomy was undertaken without complications. The final histopathological examination supported the diagnosis of schwannoma, which represent by the presence of Antoni A and Antoni B areas. Despite its rarity, a thorough review of earlier reported cases was done. Existing knowledge of this entity was summarised in this report, emphasising the interdisciplinary challenge in diagnosing it pre-operatively with sparing of unnecessary massive surgeries.
The most commonly used arrest and self-defence actions arsenal by different officers of internal services

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Background & Study Aim: Different officers of internal services have to use psychological and/or physical force, special means and even weapons. Throughout the year, officers have a limited number of hours given for specific professional compe tence development. We are making assumption that our research will provide information about the real situations of coercion and violence usage by different officers. The aim of this study is a recommendation, to use this knowledge to create optimal conditions for participants officer qualification courses, provide additional experience for them, and help to improve the quality of their work, and increasing public confidence. Material & Methods: The study involves all Lithuanian Departments of Internal Affairs officers: Police at lowest level (males) 186 persons and the State Border Guard Service (SBGS) 120 persons. The research was conducted in three di rections: the offenders behaviour that officers encounter during the detention, the distribution of actions per formed by the officers in fights with the offenders, self-defence training themes requested by the officers. Results: Police officers carry out offenders detentions approximately two times more often than SBGS officers do. Police officers more often face with the passively resisting offenders, whereas SBGS officers more often meet an aggressive resistance. Both police and SBGS officers perform approximately 1/3 of defend and 2/3 of at tack actions while arresting the offender. Police officers tend to use less arrest and wrestling actions. Police of ficers wish to devote more time to defend actions in the training, whereas SBGS officers – to attack actions. Conclusions: A more frequent participation in the detention of offenders is accompanied by the need of officers to devel op their defensive combat skills. Different officers have different needs of practical combat training, therefore, the different practical training programs should be prepared for them.

The Effects of Doubly Ionized Chemistry on SH + and S +2 Abundances in X-Ray-dominated Regions

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Recent laboratory measurements for the S^+2 + H2 reaction find a total rate coefficient significantly larger than previously used in theoretical models of X-ray dominated regions (XDRs). While the branching ratio of the products is unknown, one energetically possible route leads to the SH+ molecule, a known XDR diagnostic. In this work, we study the effects of S^+2 on the formation of SH+ and the destruction of S^+2 in XDRs. We find the predicted SH+ column density for molecular gas surrounding an Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) increases by as much as 2 dex. As long as the branching ratio for S^+2 + H2 -> SH+ + H+ exceeds a few percent, doubly ionized chemistry will be the dominant pathway to SH+, which then initiates the formation of other sulfur-bearing molecules. We also find that the high rate of S^+2 + H2 efficiently destroys S^+2 once H2 forms, while the S^+2 abundance remains high in the atomic hydrogen region. We discuss the possible consequences of S^+2 in the atomic hydrogen region on mid-infrared diagnostics. The enhanced SH+ abundance has important implications in the study of XDRs, while our conclusions for S^+2 could potentially impact the interpretation of Spitzer and SOFIA observations.
The Relations Between HSG Proven Tubal Occlusion, Stimulated Intrauterine Insemination and Pregnancy Rate

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Tubal factor infertility is one of the main causes of female infertility. Although its sensitivity is low, hysterosalpingography (HSG) is remains the firstline method for evaluating tubal patency. Aims: To compare pregnancy rates in patients with HSG proven proximal or distal unilateral tubal occlusion,and unexplained infertility undergoing both controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) and intrauterine insemination(IUI). Study Design: Case control study. Methods: In total, 237 patients undergoing ovulation induction (OI) with gonadotropins and IUI were divided into two groups and evaluated. Study group consisted 59 patients with HSG proven unilateral tubal pathology, and 178 patients with unexplained infertility taken as control subjects. Cumulative pregnancy rate was the primary endpoint. Results: Cumulative pregnancy rates after three cycles of OI and IUI were 15.25% in study group and 20.79% in control group. Pregnancy rates between two groups were not statistically significant. Although, pregnancy rates in patients with proximal tubal occlusion (21.8%) were higher than in those with distal tubal occlusion (7.4%), the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion: Our study data shows that, regardless of the HCG proven occlusion area, COS and IUI might be a preferred treatment modality in patient with unilateral tubal occlusion.
GSM to UMTS - Architecture Evolution to Support Multimedia

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This chapter has shown how operators can move from legacy GSM/GPRS networks towards initial launch of UMTS networks and then on to reach the real 'all-IP' solution of 'IM' and the feature-rich user opportunity that this offers. Operators will see benefits from the cost and capability optimisations in the circuit-switched area as well as the service migration path towards IP-based voice and multimedia applications. As the race to gain UMTS licences and to roll out networks gains speed, and as operators move from launch phase to consolidation it is obvious that the evolving UMTS architecture will give operators the platform to broaden out the service capability to users. This will not only provide higher speed access to data/Internet services but also create an environment to deliver services which are a long way away from the current simple telephony services we experience and use today. In reality, these new features cannot be created by a 'big bang' approach and some of the limitations of legacy systems must be taken into account when providing the complete package for users. This will ensure that while users can access the feature rich capabilities offered by IM, they still get usable and meaningful capability when served by legacy networks.
Prioritized Replay Dueling DDQN Based Grid-Edge Control of Community Energy Storage System

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This paper develops a new prioritized replay dueling DDQN (PRD-DDQN) method for grid-edge control of community energy storage system with good robustness to uncertainties and fast convergence speed while achieving good control performance. The control problem is first formulated as a Markov decision process (MDP) considering the current time interval, state of charge of the CESS, the price signals, and the pre-trading power between MG and CESS/utility grid. Unlike the double deep Q-network-based method to solve this MDP, the proposed PRD-DDQN endows the agent with a powerful capability of learning by interacting with a more complex environment. This is due to the collaboration of the dueling structure and prioritized replay policy based on the sum-tree. As a result, the control accuracy, model robustness, and algorithm convergence speed are significantly enhanced. Besides, the proposed algorithm supports minute-level and multi-agent parallel control. Comparison results with a deterministic model-based method and other deep reinforcement learning-based methods demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed approach.
Significance of the Diagnostic Q Wave of Myocardial Infarction

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Correlation between the QRS complex and postmortem ventricular anatomy was made in 1184 instances of normal conduction: (1) Mechanical reliance on the sheer presence or absence of a Q wave greater than 0.03 sec in duration led to "correct" diagnosis of infarction or not in 79% of the series. (2)With normal conduction, abnormal Q waves isolated to either the anteroseptal (V l -V 4 ) or inferior (II, III, a V F ) electrocardiographic zones were frequently false (46%). However, abnormal Q waves restricted to the lateral zone (V 5 -V 6 ) or in a combination of more than one electrocardiographic zone, were rarely false predictors of the presence of infarction (4%). (3) Classical localization of infarction with normal conduction was statistically relatively reliable as compared with bundle-branch block. The increased frequency of the anatomic pattern of lateral basal infarction in association with normal QRS complexes (but known infarction) suggests relative "electrical silence" of the laterobasal left ventricle in abnormal Q-wave genesis. (4) Lesions confined to a given anatomic location in the left ventricle tended to place particular emphasis and limits on the spectrum of electrocardiographic expression but did not yield a uniform single pattern of Q-wave distribution.

Hydrated Lime–Enriched CO2 Sequestration Binders Reinforced by Polyvinyl Alcohol

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Carbon capture utilization and storage technique (CCUS) is an effective way to mitigate climate change. Carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration binders (CSB) composed of hydrated lime (CH) and cement has great application prospects in CCUS. Although CH in CSB can improve the carbon absorption capacity, it causes a significant decrease in flexural strength. This study focused on the effect of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) on the CO2 absorption capacity and flexural strength of CSB. The results show that PVA is beneficial to enhancing the flexural strength of CSB either under natural carbonation or accelerated carbonation. This enhancement is more pronounced at an early age for CSB with high CH content. Furthermore, CO2 uptake experiments show that the PVA would not reduce the CO2 absorption of CSB and even has a slight improvement effect. Finally, thermodynamic modeling and price calculation were adopted for CSB to illustrate the chemical phase and economic cost changes. The outcomes of this study shed new light on PVA to optimize CSB.
Engendering the Right to Participate in Decision-making: Electoral Quotas and Women’s Leadership in Latin America

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Since elite women mobilised around suffrage rights in the nineteenth century, gaining access to decision-making power has been a central objective of women’s movements in Latin America. Today these demands appear to have been realised. Between 1991, when Argentina became the first democratic state in Latin America to establish a strict women’s quota, and 2000, when Colombia became the most recent country in the region to do so, 12 Latin American countries enacted national laws establishing a minimum level of 20 to 40 per cent for women’s participation as candidates in national elections. The regional trend toward the enactment of quota laws is unprecedented in world history. Only Belgium and Taiwan have similar quota legislation. Today (December 2000), women occupy 13 per cent of the seats in the lower houses of parliament in Latin America. The region ranks behind North-ern Europe (at 39 per cent), and compares with the world average, the rest of Europe, as well as the United States (all at 13 per cent).KeywordsParty ListDistrict MagnitudeArgentine CaseLatin American CultureArea Significant DifferenceThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.

Real-Time BCI Scheme to Assisting Disabled Persons Using Motor Imagery EEG Signal Classification

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Electroencephalography (EEG) signal-controlled Brain-computer interface (BCI) schemes have created hope for physically impaired people to lead a stress-free life. It is quite challenging to preprocess EEG signals and make them eligible for use in neuro-robotics applications as there exist various categories of artifacts in the raw EEG signal. As physically disabled people need to perform real-time actions, this study proposes a real-time BCI scheme that is usable and efficient for neuro-robotics applications in their rehabilitations. The ultimate goal is to classify hand, foot, and tongue motions as four-class motor imagery (MI) task-related impulses using the more efficient classification technique in this study. The proposed approach achieves state-of-the-art levels of accuracy and a kappa score of 77.41% and 0.70, respectively, on the benchmark dataset taken. Classifiers such as Skl-ANN, SVM, LDA, and others have been evaluated for the experimental subjects. It is believed that the higher classification accuracy and lower processing load of the proposed BCI system will make it acceptable for usage in real-world settings to facilitate the rehabilitation and reintegration of physically impaired persons.
The great typography bake-off: comparing legibility at-a-glance

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Typography plays an increasingly important role in today's dynamic digital interfaces. Graphic designers and interface engineers have more typographic options than ever before. Sorting through this maze of design choices can be a daunting task. Here we present the results of an experiment comparing differences in glance-based legibility between eight popular sans-serif typefaces. The results show typography to be more than a matter of taste, especially in safety critical contexts such as in-vehicle interfaces. Our work provides both a method and rationale for using glanceable typefaces, as well as actionable information to guide design decisions for optimised usability in the fast-paced mobile world in which information is increasingly consumed in a few short glances. Practitioner summary: There is presently no accepted scientific method for comparing font legibility under time-pressure, in 'glanceable' interfaces such as automotive displays and smartphone notifications. A 'bake-off' method is demonstrated with eight popular sans-serif typefaces. The results produce actionable information to guide design decisions when information must be consumed at-a-glance.

An Object of Vindication: Problems of Law Enforcement

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The paper is devoted to examining objects of civil rights in order to establish whether it is possible to subject them to vindication. The paper analyzes such objects as things, “incorporeal things”, non-cash funds, uncertified securities, intellectual property, shares in the authorized capital of limited liability companies, digital rights, cryptocurrency, etc. The author determines the legal nature of the objects under consideration with due regard to the theory of law and legal stances of courts. As a consequence, the author substantiates the relativity of the possibility or impossibility of their vindication under Art. 301 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. Also, the author examines the issues of existence of special mechanisms for protection of rights holders of uncertified securities and shares in the authorized capital of limited liability companies to find the interrelation between them and vindication. The paper provides the analysis of judicial practice on the issue of claiming civil law objects from someone else’s illegal possession. Conclusions are drawn as to which objects can be subject to vindication under Art. 301 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, which objects can be claimed by analogy of the law and which objects cannot be subjected to vindication.
Investigating the Potential of Nuclear Energy in Achieving a Carbon-Free Energy Future

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

This scientific paper discusses the importance of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate the effects of climate change. The proposed strategy is to reach net-zero emissions by transitioning to electric systems powered by low-carbon sources such as wind, solar, hydroelectric power, and nuclear energy. However, the paper also highlights the challenges of this transition, including high costs and lack of infrastructure. The paper emphasizes the need for continued research and investment in renewable energy technology and infrastructure to overcome these challenges and achieve a sustainable energy system. Additionally, the use of nuclear energy raises concerns, such as nuclear waste and proliferation, and should be considered with its benefits and drawbacks. The study assesses the feasibility of nuclear energy development in Latvia, a country in Northern Europe, and finds that Latvia is a suitable location for nuclear power facilities due to potential energy independence, low-carbon energy production, reliability, and economic benefits. The study also discusses methods of calculating electricity generation and consumption, such as measuring MWh produced by power plants, and balancing supply and demand within the country. Furthermore, the study assesses the safety of nuclear reactors, generated waste, and options for nuclear waste recycling. The transition to a carbon-free energy system is ongoing and complex, requiring multiple strategies to accelerate the transition. While the paper proposes that nuclear energy could be a practical means of supporting and backing up electricity generated by renewables, it should be noted that there are still challenges to be addressed. Some of the results presented in the paper are still based on studies, and the post-treatment of waste needs to be further clarified.
Conversational Storytelling Among Japanese Women: Conversational Circumstances, Social Circumstances, and Tellability of Stories

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This book presents research findings on the overall process of storytelling as a social event in Japanese everyday conversations focusing on the relationship between a story and surrounding talks, the social and cultural aspects of the participants, and the tellability of conversational stories. Focusing on the participants’ verbal and nonverbal behavior and their use of linguistic devices, the chapters describe how the participants display their orientation to the a) embeddedness of the story in the conversation, b) their views of past events, c) their knowledge about the story content and elements, and d) their social circumstances, and how these four elements are relevant for a story becoming worth telling and sharing. The book furthers the sociolinguistic analysis of conversational storytelling by describing how the participants’ concerns about social circumstances as members of a particular community, specifically their role relationships and interpersonal relationships with others, influence the shape of their storytelling.
