Comparison of125I Fibrinogen Count Scanning with Phlebography for Detection of Venous Thrombi after Elective Hip Surgery

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A comparison was made of 125I fibrinogen count scanning and phlebography in 142 limbs of 83 patients without known prior deep venous thrombosis who underwent total hip replacement. A localized accumulation of fibrinogen located away from the hip wound represented a fresh thrombus in 25 of 29 cases (86 per cent). However, of all the fresh thrombi demonstrated by phlebography, the fibrinogen scan detected only approximately 50 per cent. Major reasons for failure to detect thrombi were the presence of the wound and the small size of some thrombi. In defining whether or not fresh venous thrombosis was present in a given patient, the scan was accurate in three quarters of the cases. We conclude that fibrinogen scanning is a useful examination in patients after elective hip surgery, but less accurate than previously reported.
The Influence of Learning Models and Self-Efficacy Against Chemistry Learning Outcomes at Kutacane State High School

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

this study aims to find out: 1) the students' chemistry learning outcomes that are taught using the STAD type cooperative learning model and the Chemistry learning outcomes of students who are taught by the Make A Match learning model; 2) Chemistry learning outcomes between students with high levels of self-efficacy and learning outcomes of students with low self-efficacy; 3) the interaction between the learning model (type STAD and Make A Match) and self-efficacy in influencing the learning outcomes of Chemistry.The research method used is a quasi-2x2 factorial design experiment.The results of the study concluded that: (1) the average Chemistry learning outcomes of students taught with the STAD type cooperative learning model were higher than the Make a match learning model; (2) the average learning outcomes of Chemistry students who have high self-efficacy are higher in low self-efficacy; (3) there is an interaction between the learning model and self-efficacy towards the learning outcomes of Chemistry.
High Incidence of Peliosis Hepatis in Autopsy Cases of Aplastic Anemia With Special Reference to Anabolic Steroid Therapy

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The livers were collected from 47 autopsy cases of aplastic anemia aiming to study the correlation between the use of androgenic anabolic steroid and the formation of peliosis hepatis. Association of peliosis hepatis was found in 7 cases out of 19 cases with anabolic steroid therapy, while peliotic cavities were found only in one case out of the remaining 28 cases without anabolic steroid therapy. Out of 7 cases specified above, peliotic cavities in 5 cases were phlebectatic; phlebectatic and parenchymal types of peliotic cavities coexisted in one case, and one case was parenchymatous. Besides these cavity formations, remarkable dilatation of sinusoids often distinct at the periphery of the hepatic lobule was found in the 7 cases.
On the Optimality of Treating Interference as Noise for $K$ user Parallel Gaussian Interference Networks

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

It has been shown recently by Geng et al. that in a $K$ user Gaussian interference network, if for each user the desired signal strength is no less than the sum of the strengths of the strongest interference from this user and the strongest interference to this user (all signal strengths measured in dB scale), then power control and treating interference as noise (TIN) is sufficient to achieve the entire generalized degrees of freedom (GDoF) region. Motivated by the intuition that the deterministic model of Avestimehr et al. (ADT deterministic model) is particularly suited for exploring the optimality of TIN, the results of Geng et al. are first re-visited under the ADT deterministic model, and are shown to directly translate between the Gaussian and deterministic settings. Next, we focus on the extension of these results to parallel interference networks, from a sum-capacity/sum-GDoF perspective. To this end, we interpret the explicit characterization of the sum-capacity/sum-GDoF of a TIN optimal network (without parallel channels) as a minimum weighted matching problem in combinatorial optimization, and obtain a simple characterization in terms of a partition of the interference network into vertex-disjoint cycles. Aided by insights from the cyclic partition, the sum-capacity optimality of TIN for $K$ user parallel interference networks is characterized for the ADT deterministic model, leading ultimately to corresponding GDoF results for the Gaussian setting. In both cases, subject to a mild invertibility condition the optimality of TIN is shown to extend to parallel networks in a separable fashion.
Design and implementation of a fan beam coded aperture x-ray diffraction tomography system for checkpoint baggage scanning

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

X-ray diffraction tomography (XRDT) enables material identification throughout a volumetric object. We perform a simulation-based study to analyze how the image quality of a fan beam coded aperture XRDT system depends on the specifications of the detector used to measure the scatter signal. Going beyond simulation, we design and implement an XRDT prototype scanner that operates in near real-time to perform slice-by-slice imaging of a target object. The scanner is consistent with the requirements of airport checkpoint lanes and can run inline with existing transmission-based X-ray scanners.
Subspace Pursuit for Sparse Signal Reconstruction in Wireless Sensor Networks

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Subspace pursuit (SP) algorithm provides the two most important features of greedy algorithms. It has lowest computational complexity in comparison to other greedy algorithms such as OMP and ROMP. It provides the reconstruction quality of same order as that of linear programming techniques for very sparse signals. SP algorithm estimates the sparse signal step by step, in an iterative fashion. The presented analysis shows that SP exactly recovers the sparse signals for temporally correlated data collected during real-time experimentation using NI WSN platform. The efficacy of recovered signal is analyzed using the parameters of peak signal to noise ratio and root mean square error.
A new genus of long-legged cricket Luzarina (Orthoptera: Phalangopsidae) from the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract In the neotropical region, the subtribe Luzarina is the most representative within Phalangopsini, currently with 128 valid species distributed in 49 genera (Cigliano et al. 2025). In this contribution, a new genus and species, <italic>Parapalpigera amazonica </italic>gen. et sp. nov., is described based on specimens collected in Northern Brazil, in the Amazon rainforest. The genus is closely related to <italic>Melanotes</italic> Desutter-Grandcolas, 1993 and <italic>Palpigera </italic>Hebard, 1928, but it can be distinguished by the following combination of characteristics: reduced tegmina without stridulatory apparatus; absent tympanum; very elongated and thin palps; shape of the endophallus sclerite; bifid endophallus apodeme; and shape of the female copulatory papilla.
The Road Not Yet Taken for Defusing Conflicts in Active Debris Removal: A Multilateral Organization

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The dual-use nature of active debris removal (ADR) and of on-orbit servicing (OOS) technology implies the latent possibility of aggressive interference with foreign entities’ space objects. This can create an atmosphere of escalatory competition in which space actors start or continue to develop offensive or retaliatory space capabilities to protect their space assets. An arms race or conflicts in space could follow, to the detriment of the peaceful uses of outer space for the benefit of all. Apart from the drafting of non-binding rules of conduct, guidelines and transparency measures and the difficulty of negotiating restrictive binding regulations, this paper discusses a third way to help safeguard security and peace in space that has not received adequate attention in literature: a broad intergovernmental organization of a civilian nature tasked with the research, design, and operation of ADR/OOS missions. Rather than limiting freedom of action, the organization would offer, in principle, a positive means of peaceful collaboration while reducing the need for unilateral ADR/OOS operations. The advantages of this approach are manifold. Through extensive multilateral cooperation many of the legal hurdles surrounding space debris and ADR (e.g. definition, liability, jurisdiction and control) could be surmounted. Moreover, a co-governed, depoliticized, multilateral organization to implement ADR operations, open to all willing and peaceful participants, would promote far-reaching transparency and act as an institutionalized Transparency and Confidence-Building Measure (TCBM). Tensions and misunderstandings could be reduced and the threat of escalation neutralized, while collective experience, institutional learning, and goodwill would be put towards more effective, future international legal instruments on space debris and ADR with global support.
Lipopolysaccharide and the lung: a story of love and hate

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a major component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. LPS is one of the most potent microbial inducers of inflammation and is responsible for many of the deleterious effects of pulmonary infections. In contrast, surfaces of the body are constantly exposed to small amounts of LPS. This interaction appears to stimulate more beneficial, protective mechanisms. Overall, the interactions between LPS and the body are important; however, factors that determine the nature of this response are not known.

LPS is a prototypical pathogen associated molecular pattern (PAMP), a term that was introduced by Janeway and Medzhitov 1, which describes structurally conserved molecules of microorganisms. PAMPs bind to receptors of the innate immune system, consequently called pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). In 1996, the Drosophila protein Toll was shown to be required for flies to mount an effective immune response against the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus . In 1998, toll like receptor (TLR)4 was positionally identified as the LPS receptor and found to be required for mice to effectively respond to Gram-negative bacteria. These findings have guided the field of (innate) immunity over the last few years. Thirteen mammalian TLR analogues have been identified and functionally linked to various processes, ranging from inflammation and infection, to arthrosclerosis and sterile inflammation 2.

In the lung, TLR4 is expressed by several different cell types, including professional host defence (dendritic cells, macrophages) and structural (endothelial and epithelial cells) cells. Animal models and patient studies have proved that TLR4 contributes significantly to the response to inhaled LPS 3, …

Early Adolescence in Social Withdrawal: Two Hikikomori in Treatment

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Social withdrawal is a potential signals of distress and mental illness such as psychosis, mood disorders, anxiety (Kirkcaldy & Siefen, 2012). The term 'hikikomori" defines a particular form of social withdrawal recognized in Japan at the end of the last century (Saito, 1998). At the moment in all the west world (United States, France, United Kingdom, Spain, Italy) there is an increasing frequency of adolescents and young people who show symptoms of hikikomori like a life style centered on the own home and refusal of the school. Requests to take care of social withdrawal teenagers (hikikomori) are increasing. This work describes two cases in treatment of early adolescents. Authors analyse the terapeutic steps of the clinical treatment of two very young teenegers arrived to the Public Health Service because their extreme social withdrawal. The work focusses the attention on the relationship with the patients, the families and the social context. The two cases show that the treatment of hikikomori sindrome is complex. A single type of approach (e.g. individual psychoterapy or family therapy) is not sufficient. Combining different patterns it is possible to create a network of treatments able to promote the resources of subject and of his/her familiar and social context. Results underline the necessity of increasing the clinical knowledges on the social withdrawal sindrome and creating new protocols useful for the treatment.

Divided into two sections, the article begins by considering the medical history, exploring how the building developments reflect this type of history at the Frith. The second section focusses on the health benefits of having a garden environment within a hospital setting. Overall, this article will support the project by heightening the importance of the garden through both its history and its health benefits, helping contribute to the restoration and future developments of the garden.
On the Use of Minimum Chi-Square Estimation

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

The method of maximum likelihood estimation is widely used and its sovereignty has been questioned recently by Berkson (1980) who argues that minimum chi-square and not maximum likelihood is the basic principle of statistical inference. In any application a wide range of estimators exist that would be classed by Berkson as minimum chi-square estimators whilst in the literature the definition of such a class is not without ambiguity. This paper reviews some aspects of the history and background to this ambiguity and argues in favour of a wider use of pure minimum chi-square estimation. The usefulness of this method in the wider context of statistical modelling is illustrated by a consideration of the appropriateness of a geometric distribution to some bus passenger frequency data.

The study was based on a literature review about housing provision assessment, and used process and product indicators to assess eight housing programs and projects carried out in four different Brazilian states. This study concluded that all initiatives had positive assessments in terms of quality and costs, and pointed out several factors that can define the procedures that should be adopted procedures for different stages of the process, as well as the basic design criteria.
Sulpiride gastro-retentive floating microsponges; analytical study, in vitro optimization and in vivo characterization

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Sulpiride (SUL), anti-dopaminergic drug, has a specific site for absorption located in the upper portion of the gastrointestinal tract hence, its oral delivery represents a challenge regarding SUL absorption and bioavailability. So, a gastro-retentive oral platform of SUL was developed to increase its gastric residence time, release SUL at a controlled rate in the stomach and consequently, enable it to reach its specific absorption site. Floating microsponges were prepared via quasi-emulsion solvent diffusion method and characterised for their physico-chemical properties. In addition, Taguchi design of experiment was utilised to optimise some independent variables affecting microsponges performance. The optimised SUL microsponges showed a yield of 79.82 ± 2.37%, an encapsulation efficiency of 89.11 ± 2.28% and in vitro time for floatation of 8.0 h. Additionally, pharmacokinetics were investigated in rabbits and compared with the commercial SUL formulation, Dogmatil® capsules. Optimised SUL microsponges showed a significantly (p < .05) higher Cmax, AUC and 2-fold increase in oral bioavailability compared with the commercial product. Moreover, the optimised SUL microsponges remained present in the stomach up to 8.0 h post administration when viewed via X-ray radiographs in rabbits. It could be concluded that the floating microsponges could be useful as an oral platform to enhance the sulpiride absorption and bioavailability.
Natural history of t(11;14) multiple myeloma (MM).

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

8014 Background: t(11;14) is a standard risk cytogenetic marker in MM. Methods: We reviewed 366 patients with MM who had t(11;14) by FISH and 732 age and period-matched controls without t(11;14), seen at our institution from 2004 to 2014 and outcomes were analyzed using time to first progression or death (PFS1) and overall survival (OS). Results: For the t(11;14) group at diagnosis, the median age was 63.7 yr (range, 22.1-95.4) with 64.5% of patients being male. Eighty nine (24.3%) patients were above 70 yr of age at diagnosis. 33.8%, 40.3% and 25.9% patients belonged to ISS 1, II and III stages respectively. 13% patients had elevated LDH. Monosomy 17 or del 17p were identified in 10.6% patients. The median follow up period was 56.9 months (m) (95% CI: 54.6-62.2) and 209 (57.1%) patients were alive at last follow-up. Among patients receiving proteasome inhibitor (PI)-based, immunomodulator (IMiD)-based, PI+IMiD based or other agent based induction therapy, 71.2%, 70.3%, 90.4% and 37.5% patients respectively attained ≥PR as best response to induction (p < 0.01). During their course, 223 (60.9%) patients underwent stem cell transplant. Median PFS1 and OS were 23.1 (CI: 20.8-27.9) and 78.6 (CI: 66.7-105.9) m respectively. Among the controls, high risk cytogenetics (HRC) was present in 142 (19.4%), and the median OS was 83.8 m (CI: 70.8-97.0) being comparable to t(11;14) group (p = 0.8). For all 1098 patients, using a Cox-proportional hazards model with age > 70 years, induction therapy (novel agent-based vs others), cytogenetics [HRC vs t(11;14) without HRC vs no HRC or t(11;14)], and ISS stage III vs II/I as predictors, age > 70 years [HR-2.2 (CI: 1.8-2.8) and p < 0.01], ISS III vs ISS II/I [HR-1.4 (CI: 1.1-1.8) and p < 0.01] and HRC [HR of 2.1 (CI: 1.6-2.8) vs no HRC or t(11;14) (p < 0.01) and 1.9 (CI = 1.4-2.6) for t(11;14) without HRC (p < 0.01)were associated with reduced OS. The risk for reduced OS did not differ between t(11;14) without HRC, and those without t(11;14) or HRC [HR-1.1 (CI: 0.9-1.4), p = 0.4]. Conclusions: Our study characterizes the outcomes of a large cohort of MM patients with t(11;14) at diagnosis. Advanced age, HRC and advanced stage at diagnosis were associated with worse OS in our cohort. t(11;14) MM without HRC does not differ in outcome compared to non-t(11;14) MM without HRC.
Learning Models to Improve Students' Social Skills: How is the Development Process?

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Living with other people requires communication and social skills, such as working in a team, having the determination to succeed, solving problems, communicating well, making decisions, managing oneself, and interacting with friends, so these need to be taught and trained from an early age. The development of social skills is not only related to academic aspects, but also equips students with social life skills. One way to improve social skills is through implementing the social inquiry development learning model. This learning model is designed and aims to create a learning experience that not only focuses on academic knowledge but also on developing social skills. This research approach is a Research and Development (R&D) approach using development design. The research and development procedure used is the 4-D (Four-D) model. The final product of this research is the development of an Inquiry Learning Model which has been evaluated by material experts, learning model experts, as well as limited testing. This research produces (1) The inquiry learning model can improve students' social skills. So that the inquiry learning model product is suitable for use as a learning model in the PGSD Department. (2) The Inquiry Learning Model is effectively used in social studies courses because it increases learning outcomes (Gain Score) between the experimental class and the control class.
Drought tolerance in F1 interspecific hybrid between, Solanum melongena and its wild ancestor, Solanum insanum

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The need for improved aubergine varieties is increasing because of climate change’s effects such as drought. To solve this problem, the use of wild ancestor of aubergine, Solanum insanum, as a source of genes seems appropriate since this species is found in various climates. The objective was to obtain aubergine genotypes with genes from the wild species, S. insanum, giving them the ability to adapt to drought. Drought tolerance of accessions from Solanum melongena and Solanum insanum and their F<sub>1</sub> progeny was assessed using 16 phenotypic descriptors. Variance and genetic parameters (heritability (h2), genotypic (GCV) and phenotypic (PCV) coefficients of variation, correlations) relating to growth dynamics were estimated. F1 hybrids exhibited better drought tolerance abilities than parental accessions. The values of floral characteristics of these hybrids were higher in dry season. This favoured reproduction at expense of vegetative growth. Finally, high differences between GCV and PCV corroborated by low values of h2 show that plant selection based on growth dynamics would be ineffective for improving aubergine against drought. Development of plant organs determined by genes with pleiotropic effects is reflected by contrasting values of genotypic and phenotypic correlations.
