Abstract 3149: Investigation of the potential therapeutic value of CAF-derived milk fat globule-EGF factor 8 protein (MFG-E8) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract The physiological state of the tumor microenvironment (TME) is closely linked with tumorigenesis. RNA sequencing data from our lab showed a broad range of dysregulated genes between ESCC isolated CAFs and paired peripheral blood isolated Fbcs. Among the 2347 up-regulated genes, we found the GO analysis is many focused in extracellular matrix and the top 4 GO terms enriched in cell development and adhesion. Due to this, enriched CAF-secreted extarcellular proteins attracts our attention. MFG-E8 is highly expressed secreted protein in CAFs but low expressed in tumor cells. TCGA database revealed high expression of MFG-E8 is associated with poor overall survival and disease-free survival. In addition, ESCC cell line k410 and K180 with MFG-E8 protein showed a strong ability in cell migration, cell invasion and apoptosis inhibition compared with the PBS group. The further western blot demonstrated MFG-E8 promoted ESCC cell migration and invasion by triggering EMT, and activated an altered akt/stat3 signaling pathway. Moreover, Anti-MFG-E8 antibody effectively reduced tumor size, especially combined with cisplatin. Therefore, MFG-E8 may act as a potential target effective therapeutic strategies.

Efficient visualization of XML query results

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is the basis for a growing body of industry standards for data exchange, and it is well on its way to becoming a mainstream technology for data integration. XML is transforming not just data; it is transforming information processing in general. The demands of today's advanced data integration challenges require a flexible XML standard for data aggregation and transformation, one that can seamlessly work with relational and legacy data sources, as well as new Web service technologies. Navigating through XML data may be easy or extremely complex. XML recordsets are classified as simple or hierarchical. However, most recordsets are hierarchical and contain collections of nested recordsets which permits unlimited nesting levels. A complicated hierarchical structure will be lengthy and a long page which requires scrolling prove less than optimal for user application. In this project, a paging algorithm is proposed to view lengthy XML results. This paging algorithm serves as an additional feature to display the XML results in manageable pages. This project will also include the research, development and integration of the paging algorithm into the existing XCalibur software. Although the functional requirements were met, additional features could be added to extend the capabilities of the program. Some recommendations include paging the table view according to path expressions, showing the page number, index of node and total number of nodes displayed in the tree view, return only required data at a time instead of the whole dataset and multi user support.

The Effect of Ego-depletion and Level of Binge Eating on Impulsive Behavior

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

본 연구에서는 자아고갈이 폭식수준에 따라 충동행동에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 557명의 참가자를 폭식척도와 한국판 식사태도 검사를 기준으로 폭식수준이 낮은 집단(50명)과 폭식수준이 높은 집단(50명)으로 나누어 인지적 과부하가 없는 과제와 인지적 과부하로 자기통제력을 낮춰 인지적 자원을 고갈시키는 자아고갈 과제에 무선할당하여 과제를 수행하였다. 반응억제능력은 음식단서와 중립단서가 제시되는 멈춤 신호과제를 실시하여 측정되었으며, 자아고갈 여부의 측정은 인지적 과부하 과제 후 자아고갈에 대한 리커트형 자기보고식 척도와 악력기의 악력으로 측정되었다. 실험 결과, 인지적 과부하가 없는 과제에서는 집단 간 차이가 유의미하지 않았으나, 인지적 과부하로 자기통제를 감소시키는 자아고갈과제에서는 폭식수준이 낮은 집단이 폭식수준이 높은 집단보다 음식단서에 대한 충동반응을 억제하는데 오랜 시간이 걸려, 자아고갈이 폭식수준이 높은 집단보다 폭식수준이 낮은 집단의 음식단서에 대한 충동행동에 영향을 미쳤다. 이는 폭식수준이 낮은 집단이 폭식수준이 높은 집단보다 동일한 자아고갈과제 수행에서 자기통제와 관련된 인지적 자원을 더 많이 사용하여 충동행동을 증가시킨 것으로 보인다.The goal of this study is to identify the effect of ego-depletion on impulsive behavior according to the level of binge eating. 100 participants were categorized into two groups (high and low binge group) by using binge eating scale and the Korean version of eating attitude test-26. Participants were randomly assigned to two different tasks: Ego-depletion task of depleting cognitive resources by lowering self-control through cognitive overload; non-depletion task without cognitive overload. Impulsive behavior of participants was measured by a computerized stop signal task that presented object cues and food cues. The results showed no significant difference between the groups in the non-depletion task but low binge group took longer time to suppress impulsive response to food cues than high binge group in ego-depletion task, indicating that the task affected the impulsive behavior of low binge group on food cues more than high binge group. These results could demonstrate that low binge group would increase the impulsive behaviors when they consume more cognitive resources related to self-control than high binge group.
The Limits of Analogy in Establishing the Legal Consequences of a Fictitious Divorce

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

In the Russian and foreign family legal reality, the practice of inappropriate use of divorces has become widespread. With the general attention of law to fictitious legally significant phenomena in the context of normative uncertainty of the concept, signs and consequences of fictitious divorce, it is necessary to check and take into account the possibilities of analogy as a traditional means of filling legal gaps in private law regulation in relation to the problem of the lack of legislative regulation of the legal consequences of fictitious divorces. At the same time, the method of analogy can and should act not only as one of the objects of study, but also as a means of achieving a scientific result. The study raises and rejects the scientific hypothesis about the similarity of the normatively undefined consequences of the depravity of the causa of a fictitious divorce and the regulated consequences of a fictitious marriage. At the same time, the author shows the positive role of the analogy of law as part of the means of settlement and family law disputes and methods of countering unfair behavior in marriage dissolution without the purpose of its termination. The significance of the work is manifested in its ability to doctrinally support the legislator’s abstinence from direct normative consolidation of the criteria of fictitious divorce and its invalidity. At the same time, the article indicates the way to situationally overcome the uncertainty of the concept under consideration using the analogy of law.
Deregulation of the Finnish Long-distance Bus Market

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Abstract A new law on public transport came into effect in Finland in December 2009. According to the new law, regulators are not allowed to restrict competition between bus companies, unless it is necessary for ensuring adequate quantity and quality of transport services. Until 2009 bus companies had to apply for and be granted a licence for operating any given connection, which restricted competition between bus companies. In this brief I look at how the Finnish long-distance bus market has changed from 2006 to 2017. The changes indicate that deregulating entry into the long-distance bus market has benefitted consumers. The supply of long-distance bus connections has increased and, on average, bus ticket fares have ceased to increase. These changes are to a large extent due to the deregulation of the long-distance bus market. Along with the new law, bus companies have become able to enter new routes and increase the number of connections where demand is high. As a result, the number of passengers has increased substantially.
Italian Nurses’ experiences during the COVID‐19 pandemic: a qualitative analysis of internet posts

Field: Nursing (Health Sciences)

Aim To investigate the experience of Italian nurses during the first wave of the COVID‐19 outbreak by analysing professional social media posts. Background The COVID‐19 outbreak has overwhelmed health care institutions; as a consequence, nurses’ lives and psycho‐physical health have been affected. Introduction The COVID‐19 pandemic forced nurses to work in physically and psychologically stressful conditions impacting on their life. Methods A qualitative descriptive study. All narratives (texts and videos) posted by nurses from the 23 rd of February 2020 to the 3 rd of May (from the start of the outbreak to the end of the first lockdown) were analysed and published on the five most popular Italian professional social media platforms. The Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative research guidelines were followed. Results Five themes emerged from the 380 narratives explored: ‘Sharing what is happening within myself’; ‘Experiencing unprecedented working conditions’; ‘Experiencing a deep change’; ‘Failing to rehabilitate the image of nurses in society’; and ‘Do not abandon us’. Even though nurses appreciated the recognition of their communities, they still felt devalued and not recognized as professionals. Discussion Several psychological, physical, social and professional implications emerged from nurses working during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Despite being highly praised, nurses perceived they had failed in rehabilitating the image of nurses in society. Conclusion The experience of working during the COVID‐19 pandemic represented a traumatic event for nurses but it offered them personal and professional growth opportunities. Implications for nursing practice, nursing policy and health policy Supporting nurses’ mental health is highly recommended, together with a cultural investment on nurses’ role recognition, and a zero‐tolerance policy towards violence and aggression towards nurses.
COMMENDING SOLA SCRIPTURA: THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE CHURCH, AND DOCTRINE

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

In post-Reformation dogmatics, the role of the Holy Spirit in relation to the doctrine of Scripture has often received insufficient attention. Contemporary treatments have erred in different directions, subjugating the doctrine of Scripture to communal hermeneutics or individual experience. By contrast, the magisterial Reformers offer a vital doctrine of the Holy Spirit for the doctrine of Holy Scripture in conjunction with the stewardship of that Scripture by the Spirit-birthed, confessing church. Drawing upon certain reformational insights, this paper will present a high doctrine of Scripture, in a manner that integrates the ministry of the Holy Spirit for illumination with the essential role of the Spirit within the confessing church for handling doctrine—particularly the doctrine of Scripture.
Relationship between endemic diseases and trace elements in the natural environment of Jilin province of China

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Jilin province is in the middle of the north eastern region of China. Several endemic diseases are recognized there: endemic goiter, endemic fluorosis, Kaschin - Beck disease and Keshan disease. Their etiology is uncertain but they are widely distributed in rural areas which are not contaminated by industrial waste. This study shows that there is a regular distribution of some trace elements (Se, Mo, I, F) in soil, crops and drinking water as the natural environmental factors (topography, climate, types of soil and plant) vary from east to west in the province. Endemic goiter is widely spread in the upland areas, which are deficient in iodine. Iodine levels in the drinking water were less than 5.0 ug/l which accounted for 60.72% of total samples. Endemic fluorosis was distributed only in the lowland areas of the plains. Fluorine contents in 80% of water samples were more than 2.1 mg/1 in the disease areas. Kaschin-Bec, disease and Keshan disease were distributed in the mountains and hills of the eastern part of the province. The selenium and molybdenum contents of soils, crops and drinking water in the disease areas were lower than those of non-disease areas. The difference between them was significant (pmore » < 0.01). Kaschin-Beck disease also occurred in the local plains where there were selenium deficiencies in crops and drinking water. The relationship between Kaschin-Beck disease and selenium in grains (corn) presented a significant correlation Keshan disease is also associated with deficiency in selenium and molybdenum. 13 references, 2 figures, 6 tables.« less

Neo-Victorian transcorporeality: Narrating Julia Pastrana's body

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Julia Pastrana (1834-1860) features prominently in neo-Victorian biofiction, which is probably indebted to her tragic life and posthumous exploitation in the hands of her husband-manager Theodore Lent. Pastrana’s career surpassed her death when Lent continued touring her embalmed body – an exhibition that would outlive him into the late twentieth century. Although Pastrana was repatriated and buried in 2013, she did not reach the final rest as her story continues to fascinate twentieth-first century audiences. This essay focuses on the ways in which Pastrana’s body has been constructed and produced narratively building on multiple discourses that straddle different disciplines and cultural settings that span three centuries. The two biofictional novels Julia Pastrana (2007) by Sandy Olson and Julian Fenech, and The Orphans of the Carnival (2016) by Carol Birch will be analysed through the lens of transcorporeality (Alaimo, 2010). By drawing on twenty-first century feminist theory on the body that has placed emphasis on the body as a dynamic and travelling concept through its orientations and intersectionality, my principal aim is to provide new insights into the ways in which contemporary novelists have rendered Pastrana’s body and to examine to which ends.
Normal Reference Values of Complete Blood Count in Healthy Adult Population of Pakistan; A Multicentre Study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Aim: To establish the reference values of hematological parameters in blood donors of all the four provinces of Pakistan as a general population. Methods: This was a multicenter cross-sectional study conducted from Jan 2017-Oct 2017 in the blood bank and the Dept. of Haematology, The CH&ICH, Lahore, Fatimid Foundation, Karachi, Bolan medical college, Quetta, Armed Forces Institute of Transfusion, Rawalpindi & Ayub medical college, Abbottabad, KPK. Blood samples of 1060 male and female blood donors were collected from the blood banks of all the centers mentioned above. CBC and differential were performed using an automated hematology analyzer in the respective departments. Results: The mean and 95% reference values (2.5th-97.5th) for males WBC 7.752+4.506×109 cells/L, RBC 4.958 +1.331, HB 14.258 +3.423 g/dl, HCT 41.967 +16.345, MCV 84.584 +15.933, PLT 219.485 +197.331, LYM 3.346 +10.112, NEUT 6.843+23.557, MONO 0.811 +3.601, EO 0.327 +0.995. For females WBC 7.174+3.037, RBC4.567 +1.086, HB 12.972 +2.752, HCT39.647 +48.186, PLT 264.07+175.079, LYM 2.537+5.005, NEUT 4.769+11.314, MONO 0.460 +0.909, EO 0.188+0.39 Conclusion: The hematological profile of the population in all four provinces of Pakistan differed from the reports of other countries and the standard reference ranges described in the textbook. So, our own hematological parameters must be followed. More studies must be carried out on other age groups and even on adults to strengthen our results. Keywords: Normal reference values, Complete blood count, Healthy adults of Pakistan

CLEARING THE MUDDY WATERS: IS LACK OF MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING QUALITY ACCOUNTING FOR MIXED FINDINGS AND CAN MEASURING FIDELITY HELP?

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

ABSTRACT\nObjective: The SMART ED study was a randomized, controlled trial of 3 brief interventions in ER settings targeting high-risk substance use. Findings in the main study indicated that there was no difference in outcomes for groups receiving minimal, rather than more extensive, behavioral interventions. This secondary analysis investigated the quality of (MI) sessions in the SMART ED study to examine the hypothesis that better quality of MI would be associated with improved client outcomes.\nMethod: The Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity Code (MITI 3.0) was used to evaluate 388 sessions, yielding indicators of MI Quality including Overall Spirit (MI Spirit), Reflection to Question (R:Q), Percent Open Questions (%OQ), MI Adherent (MIA) and MI Non-Adherent (MINA) behaviors. These quality indicators were used to predict client outcomes, measured as self-reported days of primary drug use, days with any drug use, and days of heavy drinking.\nResults: Fewer than half (49%) of sessions met minimal criteria for MI quality using the MITI 3.0. Only 7% of sessions met the criteria for advanced MI practice. None of these indicators were associated with substance use outcomes.\nConclusions: These findings raise the possibility that negative trials of MI may be accounted for by poor adherence to the method, rather than lack of efficacy. Recommendations for quality monitoring and standards for future studies using behavioral treatments are discussed.
Bringing science into the courtroom

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

While investigators have adequate tools for ensuring they reach a proper determination of fire causation, claims against manufacturers often progress to the courtroom despite forensic analysis indicating their products are not at fault. A solid defense strategy requires a reasonable alternative explanation grounded in scientific principles. Because the complexities of science may sometimes be lost on lay people and jurors, the use of visual and demonstrative materials can effectively convey these concepts.
The Case of the Missing Hegemon: British Nonintervention in the American Civil War

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Balance of power theories have come roaring back into prominence in recent years as international relations theory grapples with new developments, including offshore balancing and soft balancing. Recent works demonstrate the importance of more than just the distribution of power, and have addressed the role that domestic politics plays in balancing. One overlooked aspect of this debate, with implications for offensive realism and the current discussion on the United States and soft balancing, is the role that nonintervention conventions play in decision making. British nonintervention during the American Civil War presents a case at odds with offensive realist theory, as Britain should have intervened to protect its national interests—cotton, trade, and shipping—while also restraining a regional hegemonic power. Domestic cleavages, democratic peace norms, and public opinion pressures do not sufficiently explain this behavior. Instead, this paper posits that nonintervention was a result of British adherence to precedents and conventions.
Towards PDE-Based Video Compression with Optimal Masks Prolongated by Optic Flow

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Lossy image compression methods based on partial differential equations have received much attention in recent years. They may yield high-quality results but rely on the computationally expensive task of finding an optimal selection of data. For the possible extension to video compression, this data selection is a crucial issue. In this context, one could either analyse the video sequence as a whole or perform a frame-by-frame optimisation strategy. Both approaches are prohibitive in terms of memory and run time. In this work, we propose to restrict the expensive computation of optimal data to a single frame and to approximate the optimal reconstruction data for the remaining frames by prolongating it by means of an optic flow field. In this way, we achieve a notable decrease in the computational complexity. As a proof-of-concept, we evaluate the proposed approach for multiple sequences with different characteristics. In doing this, we discuss in detail the influence of possible computational setups. We show that the approach preserves a reasonable quality in the reconstruction and is very robust against errors in the flow field.
