Diclofenac versus Combination of Dexketoprofen and Hyoscine N-Butyl Bromide in the Treatment of Renal Colic in the Emergency Room Setting: A Single-Blinded Randomized Controlled Trial in a Tertiary Government Hospital in the Philippines

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction: Renal colic pain is a very severe pain usually being consulted at the emergency room. New pain relievers together with combination of other drugs is used for symptomatic relief. This study compared the efficacy and tolerability of Diclofenac versus Dexketoprofen with Hyoscine Nbutyl bromide (HNBB) in the management of acute renal colic at the emergency room.
Methodology: This was a single blind, randomized prospective study done from June 1, 2017 to August 31, 2017 at the emergency department of the Jose Reyes Memorial Medical Center. Allocation and randomization were done into two treatment groups: the Diclofenac and Dexketoprofen + HNBB. Subjectivity of pain relief was based using visual analogue score (VAS), this was taken before the treatment and 15, 30 and 60 minutes after administration of treatment.
Results: Twenty nine (29) patients were grouped into two: Dicloenac group (n=15) and Dexketoprophen + HNBB group (n= 14). Pain reduction in the combination group had a faster pain relief compared to Diclofenac alone with a 41% and 17% decline, respectively. The study showed that a faster pain relief was achieved with the Dexkoprophen + HNBB combination compared to Diclofenac alone.
Conclusion: Timing and onset of pain control in patients presenting with renal colic pain is essential in the emergency room setting to provide adequate relief. The use of the combination therapy of Dexkotoprofen + HNNB may have a significant advantage in terms of rapid onset of relief.
[Epidemiological data on anaemia during malignant affections].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

FREQUENT IN THE CASE OF CANCER: According to a European multicentre study on 15 000 cancer patients, the percentage of anaemia exceeded 66% during the development of solid tumours and 72% during development of malignant tumours. The lowest levels of haemoglobin were correlated with the lowest performance status, however no treatment had been prescribed for anaemia in the majority of patients. MULTIPLE MYELOMAS AND LYMPHOMAS: The frequency of anaemia appeared just as high during these malignant affections and the correlation between haemoglobin levels and performance status was just as clear. Likewise, around one half of the anaemic patients had not been treated in an adapted or efficient manner. SIGNIFICANCE OF ANEMIA DURING LYMPHOMAS: It appeared that the anaemia of Hodgkin's disease, related to the inflammation, was correlated with shorter survival, whereas the anaemia of non-hodgkin lymphoma, related to medullar infiltration, generally affected the complete rate of response.
Effects of Nitrogen and Plant Density on Competition between Two Maize Hybrids Released in Different Eras

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Core Ideas Nitrogen application rate and plant density affect competition between maize hybrids. Competitive outcomes are invariant under different N levels and plant densities. Nitrogen deficiency increased the competitive advantage of the superior competitor. Higher plant density reduced the competitive advantage of the superior competitor. Competition is a common phenomenon in plant communities, but it remains unclear whether it is influenced by soil productivity. To investigate whether N fertilization and plant density affect competition between maize ( Zea mays L.) hybrids, field experiments were conducted during the 2013 and 2014 growing seasons using a de Wit replacement series design. Two maize hybrids, YD13 and ZD909, which were released in different eras were tested. In each replacement series, dry matter accumulation (DMA), grain yield, and harvest index per plant of the component hybrids decreased as the proportion of YD13 increased under contrasting N and plant density combination. Despite different N and plant density combinations, competitive outcomes was invariant (i.e.,YD13 was always the superior competitor), the yield performance of ZD909 was always higher than YD13. When the plant density was held constant, N deficiency increased both inter‐cultivar competition and the degree of competitive asymmetry between YD13 and ZD909. When the N application rate was held constant, competition intensity intensified with increasing plant density; however, the degree of competitive asymmetry was reduced, mainly because the competitive advantage of the superior competitor (YD13) diminished at higher population densities. Our results suggest that N deficiency increases the competitive advantage of a superior competitor over a weaker competitor, but this advantage decreases in response to increased plant density. This probably implies that maize hybrids with weak competitiveness should be selected in breeding programs, especially under the condition of higher soil productivity and plant density, which is designated for dense‐planting and high‐yielding production.
An exploration of pre-service teachers' attributions in English

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

With the developments in cognitive psychology, language learners' beliefs have received considerable attention in the domain of language teaching and learning. One area that merits investigation as to what the learner brings to this educational process is learner attributions which are commonly defined as 'perceived causes of success and failure'. This paper investigated pre-service teachers' perceptions of student attributions and their performance in English. Attributions are categorized as either internal (for instance ability) or external (for instance task difficulty). Motivated by these theoretical concerns, the study investigated the attributions of 122 pre-service teachers majoring in English and the connections between attribution and proficiency and gender. The study concludes with a set of far-reaching pedagogical implications and suggestions for learner training and teacher action in the EFL classroom. The results underscore the need for pre-service students to become aware of their own perceptions with regard to students' success and failure in English.
FEELING MYSELF: THE RISE OF INTIMACY AS AUTHENTICITY IN ADDRESSING IMAGINED PODCAST LISTENERS

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This study aims to theorize the parasocial relationships between podcast creators and listeners, but with a unique focus on the perspective of the creators themselves. While parasocial relationships are typically studied from the perspective of the audience, understanding the creator's viewpoint can provide valuable insights into the dynamics of these relationships and the modes of addressivity they evoke, particularly with the emergence of intimacy as a keyword in podcast studies (Swiatek, 2018; Spinelli & Dann, 2019; Euritt, 2020, 2023). Through in-depth interviews with prominent podcasters in the Israeli podcast scene, we explore: How do podcast creators imagine their listeners? How are these imagined listeners shaped by the creators’ personal dispositions, their own experiences as podcast listeners, their assumptions about podcasting as a medium, and their actual interactions with their listeners? We argue that the starting point for the postulated intimacy between podcasters and listeners is an imagined addressee whom the podcaster conceives as similar to themselves. Just as authors imagine their audience as they write novels, we assume that the creator’s imagined audience impacts the actual audience that emerges. We also argue that this addressee is brought into being through a shared understanding of intimacy as authenticity, even though only the notion of intimacy actually implies some form of relationship. In making these arguments, we propose a typology of different kinds of imagined relationships with perceived listeners, contributing to a more complex understanding of podcasting and its cultural meaning.

Multiple central nervous system lesionson chronic corticosteroid therapy – a diagnostic challenge

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PSNCL) is a rare extranodal non-Hodgkin´s lymphoma (NHL), representing less than 1% of NHLs and approximately 2% of all primary brain tumors. PCNSL can be a diagnostic challenge, presenting with variable neurological symptoms that reflect involvement of the brain parenchyma and, more rarely, other nervous structures, such as the eye, spinal cord or peripheral nerves. There is no formal consensus regarding how diagnostic evaluation for suspected CNS lymphoma should be performed, which may result in a delayed diagnosis. By writing up this clinical case and review of the literature, further evidence is provided for loss of distinctive histological and radiographic findings of PCNSLs on corticosteroid therapy, which may difficult the diagnosis workup . A 75-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus chronically medicated with Hydroxychloroquine 400 mg, Deflazacort 9 mg and Azathioprine 25mg daily, presented to the hospital with a 5-month history of progressive neurological deficits. As in most CNS lymphomas developing in immunocompromised individuals, she was diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, Epstein-Barr virus positive. This clinical case was particularly challenging, because lesions were not accessible to biopsy and therapy with corticosteroids masqueraded and delayed the diagnosis of PCNSL, via the profound apoptotic effect of corticosteroids on lymphoma cells, causing them to disappear in a very short time interval (“vanishing lymphoma” phenomenon), and reducing lesion contrast enhancement on brain MRI. As reported in the literature, the clinical course was aggressive, and the patient died 7 months after the first symptoms.
Developing a B2B web site effectiveness model for SMEs

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Purpose The study examines SMEs' investment in B2B web sites and the relationship between organizational drivers such as adoption readiness and constraints and evaluation of investments. We investigate how these drivers influence the perception of B2B web site benefits and the effect a great understanding of issues has on stakeholder satisfaction in the investment. Design/methodology/approach A quantitative approach is used to test the hypotheses, which are developed from the literature. Following a pilot study, a survey of 1,000 Australian SMEs with B2B web sites is used to collect the data, which is analyzed using structural equation modeling techniques. Findings Findings reveal the mediating relationships between organizational drivers and their influence on SMEs' perceptions of benefits and stakeholder satisfaction and support the B2B web site evaluation effectiveness model. Further insights show that SMEs do not understand the complementary nature of the organizational drivers that support strategic alignment and therefore fail to realize benefits from their web sites. Research limitations Limitations of the research are noted and discussed with regard to constructs and the views of survey respondents. Practical implications Results suggest that SMEs consider reallocation and/or prioritization of resources and business objectives in order to improve their IT investment evaluation practices. This would have a direct impact on the level of IT benefits realized, and ultimately affect the degree of stakeholder satisfaction with B2B web site adoption. Originality/value A key contribution is the development of a B2B web site evaluation effectiveness model that supports greater understanding of how SMEs can gain more value from their B2B web sites.
Lexical diversity as a predictor of complexity in textbooks on the Russian language

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The parametric model of the text as a research problem is of paramount importance in modern linguistics and education, since it opens up new approaches to understanding the processes of comprehending texts of various types. In the current study, 17 Russian language textbooks for elementary school were employed to identify correlations between lexical diversity indices and other complexity predictors. The total volume of the corpus compiled for the study is 439,938 words. The two-stage research algorithm included the evaluation of the reference values of text features at the basic level (word length, sentence length, the number of unique, non-repeating words and the number of word forms), evaluation and subsequent contrasting of complexity predictors, i.e. lexical diversity and readability indices. All calculations were performed with the automatic text analyzer RuLingva. The study revealed a positive dynamic of readability and no evidence of lexical diversity increase across grades. An average level of vocabulary diversity and overlaps of every 4th word in the text are fixed. No indication of correlation between text readability and lexical diversity is found. The obtained results can be useful to researchers, textbook authors, and teachers selecting textbooks. The prospects are seen in implementing functional and epidigmatic stratification of the vocabulary of the Russian textbooks under study.
Peroxide vulcanized EPDM rubber/polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane nanocomposites: Vulcanization behavior, mechanical properties, and thermal stability

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Effects of two different polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS), an acrylisobutyl POSS (AIBuPOSS) containing an acrylate group along with seven isobutyl group on its cage and an octaisobutyl POSS where the acrylate group is absent, on vulcanization behavior, mechanical properties, and thermal stability of peroxide vulcanized ethylene‐propylene‐diene rubber (EPDM) were investigated. The POSS was incorporated into the EPDM by melt mixing with POSS content of 0–10 part per hundred of rubber (phr). Oscillating disk rheometer analysis revealed that the acrylate group of the POSS are activated by dicumyl peroxide and improves the peroxide crosslinking efficiency of EPDM rubber. Solid state 29 Si‐nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy analysis and field emission scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X‐ray analysis of the EPDM/POSS vulcanizates showed that the AIBuPOSS are covalently grafted onto the EPDM chain during vulcanization and are dispersed uniformly at the nanometer scale in the rubber matrix. The EPDM/AIBuPOSS nanocomposites exhibit great improvement in tensile, tear strength, and modulus with a concurrent increase in elongation‐at‐break. Enhanced thermal stability in the nanocomposite was also observed. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 55:2814–2820, 2015. © 2015 Society of Plastics Engineers
The Protection of Adaptation Rights to E-Novels Infringed by the Website in Perspective of Copyright Law

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Technological development causes infringement to e-book copyright especially e-novel by copying and distributing it without rights for example that is loaded on the website. In line with that, this study aims at explaining and analyzing the protection of adaptation rights for infringement in the form of e-novels by the website in the perspective of copyright law; and explaining and analyzing the legal consequences of the use of the e-novels by the website on the adaptation rights of the creator. This research uses normative juridical research with the approach to applying the laws of UUHC and the case approach in the form of the infringement of the e-novels on the website in www.corongbaca.com. The primary data taken from interview and the secondary data obtained from library studies. The data analyzed qualitatively and descriptively. The result of the study indicates that protection of the creator's adaptation rights from infringement of e-novels by the website in this case has not been realized because the creator who made the e-novel does not get benefit from the adaptation rights of the novel, namely royalties that are distributed based on an agreement with the website then regarding the legal consequences of using e-novels by websites on the author's adaptation rights, there are two consequences that have been carried out, namely: deletion of website content from www.corongbaca.com, and complaints to the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DGIP), but there has been no follow up on the complaint. As for claims for compensation and criminal charges, the parties did not do so.
IoT Based Solar System Parameter Measurements

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Using the Internet of Things Technology for supervising solar power generation can greatly enhance the performance, monitoring and maintenance of the plant. With advancement of technologies the cost of renewable energy equipment is going down globally encouraging large scale solar plant installations. This massive scale of solar system deployment requires sophisticated systems for automation of the plant monitoring remotely using web based interfaces as majority of them are installed in inaccessible locations and thus unable to be monitored from a dedicated location. The Project is based on implementation of new cost effective methodology based on IOT to remotely monitoring a solar plant for performance evaluation. This will facilitate preventive maintenance, fault detection of the plant in addition to real time monitoring.
Natural History of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infections in Hemophiliacs: Effects of T-Cell Subsets, Platelet Counts, and Age

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Serial T-cell subsets and platelet counts were determined in a cohort of 84 hemophiliacs in whom time of seroconversion for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody could be ascertained. An abrupt decrease in the number of T-helper (T4) cells was seen in 9 patients 12 to 24 months before the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) was diagnosed (p = 0.0007 compared with those who did not develop AIDS). Thrombocytopenia also was associated with an increased risk for AIDS (p = 0.02), as was older age at the time of seroconversion (p = 0.03). Ten patients developed AIDS at 24 to 95 months after seroconversion, for a cumulative incidence (+/- SE) of 18.0% +/- 7.1% at 6 years. Hemophiliacs who had T4 cell counts of less than 200 cells/microL had a 50% +/- 16% cumulative incidence of AIDS within 2 years, indicating that decreasing or very low T4 cell counts have predictive value for the development of AIDS. Furthermore, the data suggest that thrombocytopenia and older age may be markers for a cofactor that increases the risk for AIDS in hemophiliacs.
Ambitious food system interventions required to mitigate the risk of exceeding Earth’s environmental limits

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Transforming the global food system is essential to avoid exceeding Earth’s environmental limits. A robust evidence base is crucial to assess the scale and combination of interventions required for a sustainable transformation. We developed a risk assessment framework, underpinned by an evidence synthesis of global food system modeling studies, to quantify the potential of individual and combined interventions to mitigate the risk of exceeding global environmental limits for agricultural area, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, surface water flows, and nutrient cycles by 2050. GHG emissions and nutrient cycles are the most difficult limits to avoid exceeding and are conditional on shifts toward diets with a low proportion of animal-source foods; steep reductions in emissions intensity; substantial improvements in nutrient management, feed-conversion ratios, and crop yields; and efforts to limit overconsumption and food waste. Ambitious actions across the global food system are needed to ensure the required level of risk mitigation.
Whistleblower support in practice: Towards an integrated research model

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

A pervasive theme of this book is how empirical research into whistleblowing has focused to date on primarily two things. First, researchers and policy makers have sought to know the patterns of whistleblowing in organizations: how much is there, who does it, when and why they do it, and what appears to happen as a result, primarily to the whistleblower themselves. As sketched in Parts II and III of the book, however, this research is now turning towards a more complete understanding not simply of whistleblowing, but of the role it plays in governance and political life, including how managers, organizations and institutions respond, and what happens in terms of other outcomes, including measures of impact and effectiveness. Secondly, efforts to protect whistleblowers since the 1970s have been spearheaded by legal reforms aimed at removing legal barriers and bases for retaliation, incentivizing whistleblowing, compensating whistleblowers for career and life damage, and regulating for institutions to recognize and respond more effectively to whistleblowing within their governance systems. As documented by the previous chapters in this Part, however, knowledge about the effectiveness of these legal approaches has been fragmented, anecdotal and limited, rather than integrated and systematic. It has tended to involve comparative legal and institutional research, and case-based research, rather than detailed empirical evidence of how these legal and organizational systems are actually performing in practice.
Afghan Historiography: Classical Study, Conventional Narrative, National Polemic

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract Histories of Afghanistan typically detail political narratives of the rise of dynasties, the reach of empires, and the struggles of an insecure nation‐state. English language histories developed out of early nineteenth‐century British colonial contacts, later Great Game and Cold War competition, and recent decades of Islamic politics. Yet beyond such representations, other histories have situated peoples and territories designated as “Afghan” within wider, centuries‐old interregional flows of trade, culture, migration, and ideology. Ethnographers and activists have contributed to historical understanding with powerful and often polemical studies evaluating national characteristics, social identities, and gendered lives. Over time, as evolving populations and regions have been regarded as Afghan, just so have evolving understandings, interests, and scholarship produced an ever more complex Afghan historiography.
