Predictors of Quality‐of‐Life Improvements Following Global Head and Neck Surgery Trips to Underserved Regions

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Objectives/Hypothesis To conduct longitudinal postoperative follow‐up and discern health‐related quality‐of‐life (HR‐QoL) changes using a validated questionnaire among patients undergoing head and neck surgeries during a short‐term, global surgical trip in a resource‐limited setting. To identify clinicodemographic predictors of post‐operative HR‐QoL improvements in this setting. Study Design Retrospective observational study with prospective follow‐up. Methods Patients undergoing surgery at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret, Kenya through the authors' short‐term surgical trip (STST) between 2016 and 2019 were asked to complete preoperative Short Form‐36 (SF‐36) HR‐QoL questionnaires, and postoperative SF‐36 questionnaires during subsequent follow‐up. Preoperative and postoperative SF‐36 domain scores, and two composite scores (mental component summary [MCS] and physical component summary [PCS]) were compared. Linear regression models were fit to identify clinicodemographic factors predictors of general health (GH), MCS, and PCS scores. Results Among the 26 participating patients, significant improvements were seen in post‐operative GH (mean change = 19.8) and MCS (mean change = 11.2) scores. Lower pre‐operative GH, MCS, and PCS scores were predictive of greater improvement in the corresponding post‐operative scores. Longer time to follow‐up was associated with greater improvement in GH score. Mean follow‐up interval was 23.1 months (SD = 1.8 months). Conclusions Utilizing the SF‐36 questionnaire, we found that patients' perception of their general and psychosocial health improved after undergoing head and neck surgeries through a global STST. This study provides important, preliminary evidence that that elective surgeries performed in low‐resource settings convey substantial benefit to patient QoL.

Response of Ratooning Grain Sorghum to Nitrogen Fertilizer and Insecticides1

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract Interest in production of two grain crops on the same land during a single warm season in the subtropical regions has increased rapidly during the past few years. Presently, grain sorghum is being ratooned for a second grain crop but production practices for the ratooned crop are not well defiled. To evaluate the effects of fertilizer N and insecticides on the production of ratooning grain sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench), field studies were conducted for 2 years on a Greenville soil (Rhodic Paleudult). Nitrogen (0 to 157 kg/ha) was applied immediately after the first crop was harvested and a combination of insecticides was applied just prior to heading and during the early bloom stage. Nitrogen uptake, grain size, grain yield, and insect population counts were used to determine treatment effects. Leaf N increased with increasing N application rates in 1977. Grain yield did not increase when applied N exceeded 112 kg/ha. Average weight per hundred seed for all treatments was 1.6 g compared with an average of 2.7 g for the planted seed. Insect infestation was high in 1977 and yields of the ratooned crops (averaged over N rates) were 2,210 and 1,383 kg/ha for the insecticidetreated and untreated areas, respectively. In 1978, leaf K ranged from 1.4 to 2.0% and increased with increasing N rates up to 67 kg/ha. Weight per hundred seed averaged 2.22 and 2.91 g for the insecticidetreated and untreated areas, respectively, but did not respond to applied N. Although insect monitoring revealed no evidence of high densities of phytophagous insects, grain yield averaged 67% higher when insecticides were applied. Yield increased with increasing N rates up to 67 kg/ha in the insecticide‐treated area but there was no response to applied N when insecticides were not applied. When averaged over N rates, yield from the insecticide‐treated and untreated area in 1978 was 3,136 and 1,882 kg/ha, respectively. Total grain yield from the planted and ratooned crop (with optimum N and insecticides) in 1978 was 9,847 kg/ha. Data from this study suggest that 67 kg/ha of N fertilizer is sufficient for ratooned grain sorghum; the applied N will be economical if a well managed insecticide program is followed.

Child language brokering in Swedish welfare institutions

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract This chapter investigates the asymmetries associated to child language brokering in Swedish welfare institutions. Group interviews with (a) people who have experiences of language brokering as children and (b) public service professionals who have used children as brokers in encounters with non-Swedish speaking service users are analyzed. Results show that both groups consider that resorting to child language brokering is wrong but at the same time they reproduce this social practice and see benefits in it. This ambiguity leads interviewees to lay responsibility on several levels: the parents who place unreasonable demands on their children; the public service professionals who allow children to take on responsibility in precarious situations, and society at large that may be accomplice to structural discrimination of non-Swedish speaking service users. The responsibilities identified by interviewees in their narratives are critically discussed in relation to the concept of “structural complicity” showing how power relations and social structures create situations where individuals act with complicity even when they do something that they consider to be a good solution for an imperative problem and for which they do not see any alternatives.
AN ANALYSIS OF PUBLIC ATTITUDES TOWARD THE INSANITY DEFENSE*

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Results from a public opinion survey of knowledge, attitudes, and support for the insanity defense indicate that people dislike the insanity defense for both retributive and utilitarian reasons: they want insane lawbreakers punished, and they believe that insanity defense procedures fail to protect the public. However, people vastly overestimate the use and success of the insanity plea. Several attitudinal and demographic variables that other researchers have found to be associated with people's support for the death penalty and perceptions of criminal sentencing are also related to support for the insanity defense. Implications for public policy are discussed.
Study of the Relation ship between ABO Hemolysis Disease of Newborn and Maternal antibody

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective To investigate the relation ship between ABO Hemolysis Disease of Newborn (HDN) and maternal antibody.Methods Blood type and the titer of blood group antibody of 510 couples were determined to observe the change of the titer of blood group maternal antibody which exceeded 64 and find out the incidence of HDN.165 suspected with hypercholesterolemia were examined.Results Of 510 couples, 204 couples were O-A (39.92%), 240 O-B(46.96%),59 O-AB(11.57%),2 A-B(0.39%). The rate of the titer of ABO blood group(64) was 49.6%. The incidence of HDN(the titer of antibody256) was 31.25%. There were 20 cases of ABO HDN(12.12%).Conclusion When the titer of IgG maternal antibody increases, the incidence of HDN will increase. It will be helpful for antenatal prediction of HDN to determine blood type in couples and IgG maternal antibody.
Exploring Idiomatic Expressions in Demi Lovato's 'Heart Attack': A Student Translation

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This study aims to determine the accuracy of students' translations of idiomatic expressions in song lyrics. The Data was collected from 24 students in the 4th semester of the English Department at Gorontalo State University. The song lyrics used for the study were from "Heart Attack" by Demi Lovato. Participants were given 30 minutes to translate the lyrics. The research utilized a qualitative method. Data analysis involved two steps: skimming the translations collected from participants and making notes on the presumed data, followed by identifying and classifying the accuracy of the translations. The study found that the quality of accurate translations was higher than that of inaccurate translations. Specifically, 42% of the translations were accurate, 40% were less accurate, and 18% were inaccurate. This indicates that the overall quality of students' translations of idioms is quite good, likely because some idioms in the song are familiar to them.

The need to consider underlying mechanisms: A response from dissonance

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Abstract Current research on emotional responses to dissonance has yielded consistent data in both developmental psychology and neuroscience. What seems to be lacking is a definition of what might constitute dissonance in non-musical domains. Thus, contrary to Juslin & Västfjäll's (J&V) proposal for the need to distinguish between six broad mechanisms, I argue that future research should rather focus on perceptual determinants of each basic emotion.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

음나무 잎 추출물의 총 폴리페놀 및 총 플라보노이드 함량은 각각 $75.9{\pm}6.1mg/g$, $59.0{\pm}6.7mg/g$으로 나타났으며, FRAP 값은 $0.3{\pm}0.0mmol\;Fe^2/g$이고, 그리고 DPPH에 대한 높은 항산화 활성이 존재하였다. 또한 음나무 잎을 첨가하여 돈피 튀김을 제조한 다음 품질특성을 살펴본 결과, 대조구에 비해 음나무 잎 첨가량이 증가할수록 돈피 튀김의 경도 및 TBARS값이 감소되었고, 콜라겐의 함량은 대조구에 비해 시료 첨가구에서 유의적인 높은 값을 보였다. Antioxidant activities of ethanol extracts from Kalopanax pictus leaves (KPL) were investigated $in$ $vitro$. Total polyphenols, flavonoids and ferric reducing/antioxidant power (FRAP) values of KPL extracts were $75.9{\pm}6.1$, $59.0{\pm}6.7mg/g$, and $0.3{\pm}0.0mmol\;Fe^2/g$, respectively. KPL extracts showed robust DPPH radical scavenging activity. In addition, the quality characteristics of fried pork skin treated with KPL extracts were also evaluated. Fried pork skin was produced containing KPL extracts at 0, 0.25, 0.5, and 1.0%, respectively. The hardness and TBARS values regarding fried pork skin treated with KPL were reduced by the addition of KPL extracts, whereas collagen content was increased compared to the control. These results suggest the possibility of manufacturing fried fork skin with KPL extracts for the improvement of quality.
Production of Multimaterial Components by Material Extrusion -Fused Filament Fabrication (ME-FFF)

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) is a type of material extrusion (ME) additive manufacturing and is one of the most commonly used polymer-based additive manufacturing techniques. FFF could be used to produce green parts with complex geometry and after debinding and sintering a full metal or ceramic part is obtained. FFF offers the possibility of combining different materials. For polymers this is relatively easy. but for the production of ceramic and/or metal parts consisting of different materials this is a challenging task. First the materials to be combined have to show a similar expansion coefficient, second their powders have to sinter similarly and additionally both feedstocks have to be printable in the same machine and to show a comparable debinding behaviour. Here the complete processing route for the combined printing of filaments from steel and zirconia will be shown with emphasis on the required properties of the powders and related feedstocks.
The Structure Normal Form of Web Service Processes and Its Testing Algorithm

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Service composition is an efficient way to construct a new and value-added service from the existing Web services.However,there are still no rules to evaluate the level of structure soundness in the service process which is generated by service composition.To resolve such problem,the structure normal form of service processes was proposed in this paper.From the accessibility of the paths and structural redundancy,the level of structure soundness of a service process was divided into four levels in the structure normal form.The service process was modeled as a service net based on logic Petri nets,and the evaluation of the structure normal form was converted to analyze the structure features of the service net.Control flow net was built based on the service net and it separates the control flow and data flow in a service process.The language of control flow net was defined and the method to obtain it based on reduction and recursion was also provided.By analyzing the structure properties of the component character sequences in the language of control flow net,the structure properties of the service net are easily obtained,and then the level of the structure normal form of the service process can be evaluated.The corresponding definitions,judgment theorems and algorithm of the structure normal form were presented.Some application examples are given to show the feasibility and efficiency of the algorithm in testing the structure normal form of the service processes.
Tripartite relationship of urban planning, city growth, and health for sustainable development in Akure, Nigeria

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

We live in an urban planet. As the world continues to urbanize, urban development that support the health and wellbeing of city dwellers is far more important than ever before to achieve sustainable development targets. This study explores the complex relationship among urban planning, city growth, and health as critical drivers of sustainable development in the rapidly growing nodal city of Akure, Nigeria. The study provides a four-decade spatio-temporal model of urban Land Use Land Cover (LULC) changes in Akure between the years 1984 and 2023 from acquired Landsat satellite imageries. The result shows more than 20% net change increase in developed LULC classes between the study years. A strong positive correlation exists between the years covered in the analyses and urban development ( r = 0.93, p = 0.002), and a strong negative relationship with the forest land use ( r = −0.94, p = 0.002) with potential debilitating impacts on residents’ health, green infrastructures and the city’s sustainability in the future. Furthermore, results of key informant interviews (KIIs) of officials of the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development (MPPUD) in Akure, Ondo State, unveil various views on the “place of health” in urban planning practices in Akure. A lack of synergy between urban planners and public health practitioners in the city and limiting scope of functions of urban planning on the impact of health in Akure were observed. Thus, we recommend the integration of a sustainable urban planning approach as a guide to manage the city.
Buddhist-Christian Encounter and the Challenges of Multiple Religious Identity in Asia

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This chapter treats the question of Buddhist-Christian encounter against the backdrop of Asian pluralistic society and multiple religious belonging. An introduction raises questions around key terms ("Is it meaningful to speak of 'Asia' when the continent includes half the human population?" "How do we account for differences in major Buddhist traditions in Asia?"). The paper includes a mix of historical, sociological, and theological methodologies. The first section is historical-theological, looking at past examples of Buddhist-Christian dialogue, as well as examples of movements that are defined as "new religious movements" (the Taiping movement, Yiguandao). A second section uses a recent sociological survey of Taiwanese religions to address key examples of multiple belonging. For instance, more than 20% of Taiwanese identify Jesus as God or a god, but only around 5% of these use traditional Christian understandings. This section also raises the methodological question of how to pair these sociological understandings, which are often descriptive or phenomenological, with theological approaches, which are more normative. A third section turns to how to make sense of Christian and Buddhist borrowings, contextualizations, or appropriations. This chapter aims to enrich a dialogue that is faithful to the local context and respectful of all participants.
Solid Lipid Nanoparticles and Nanostructured Lipid Carriers for Drug Delivery Applications

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Lipid nanoparticles, such as solid lipid nanoparticles and nanostructured lipid carriers, are drug delivery systems in which solid lipids are dispersed in an aqueous phase stabilized by a surfactant layer. The great interest in these nanocarriers in the latest years is due to the biocompatible lipid matrix, associated with the potential for sustained drug release, and easy transposition to the industrial scale. Moreover, these lipid systems present the ability to prevent drug degradation, and to enhance cell uptake, usually increasing drug efficacy. This chapter will provide an overview of the recent literature on solid lipid nanoparticles and nanostructured lipid carriers for drug delivery applications. Thus, some background information on the origins, composition, characterization parameters and biological applications of these nanocarrier systems will be presented.
