Spanish Study Group on Cochlear Implants for Persons with Marginal Benefit from Acoustic Amplification

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Recently the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the use of cochlear implants (CI) in patients with severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss with marginal benefit (<30% speech discrimination) from hearing aids (HA). A multicentre trial was developed to determine whether this approval could be applied to the Spanish population. Nine postlingual adults from 3 centres were selected for the study. The mean preoperative unaided PTA threshold (0.25 to 4 KHz) was 108.6 dB HL for the poorer ear and 99.8 dB HL for the better. In all subjects the poorer ear was implanted with a Mini Nucleus® 22 device. A single subject design study was used to compare performance with HA preoperatively and with CI postoperatively, or CI with contralateral HA. PTA measures and Spanish open set speech recognition tests were used. Comparing pre-implant levels with results after 6 months of CI use, all subjects improved significantly on all test measures: i) Mean aided soundfield threshold: 73.6 dB vs 39.8 dB ii) Mean bisyllablic recognition: 20% vs 57% iii) Mean consonant discrimination: 20% vs 49% iv) Mean CID sentences: 22% vs 73%. Five subjects discontinued use of the contralateral HA after implantation, three continued occasionally to use the HA, and one continued to use both on a full-time basis. Patients performed significantly better post-implant on speech recognition compared with their best pre-implant HA scores. Therefore the CI appears an appropriate treatment for Spanish speakers with a severe-to-profound hearing loss and marginal benefits with HA.

Generation and measurement of dc electric fields with space charge

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Characterization of the electrical environment in the vicinity of high voltage dc transmission lines requires measurement of a number of electrical parameters associated with the lines. These parameters include the electric field strength with significant space-charge contributions. This report describes an experimental effort to generate known dc electric fields containing controlled amounts of space charge. An apparatus which has been built for this purpose is described, and two types of field probes currently used for transmission line field measurements are examined with the apparatus. Limitations on the operation of one type of probe in the presence of very large current densities are identified and discussed.
The Impact of E-Governance Technologies on Public Service Delivery: Insights from e-Albania

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The study evaluates the impact of e-Albania, a digital governance platform launched in 2015, on public service delivery in Albania. By digitizing critical services such as tax filings and business registrations, the study assesses the platform`s influence on efficiency, transparency, and citizen satisfaction. A mixed-methods approach, combining surveys of 300 users and interviews with 20 public officials, examines technological enablers, including cloud computing, API integrations, and cybersecurity, in reshaping citizen-public administration interactions. Results reveal an 85% user satisfaction rate, significant improvements in service accessibility and efficiency, and reduced administrative bottlenecks. Challenges persist in bridging the digital divide, particularly for rural populations and individuals with limited digital literacy. While the study focuses on Albania as a single case, future research could explore comparative studies or assess long-term impacts of similar platforms regionally. Recommendations include enhancing digital inclusion, strengthening infrastructure resilience, and scaling e-Albania to ensure equitable access to public services. This study underscores the transformative potential of digital platforms in fostering trust, transparency, and citizen engagement while addressing structural inequalities in public administration. By focusing on e-Albania as a case study, it contributes valuable insights to the field of digital governance and public service improvement.
SEASONAL LIFE HISTORY PLASTICITY OF THE GROUP OF WINTER WHEAT AND TRITICALE ACCESSIONS

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The application of “spring analogs” to explore winterhardiness of wheat gives the possibility to obtain cultivars with higher hardiness. Seasonal life history plasticity of winter cultivars gives the possibility to obtain such “analogs”. Winterhardiness of 34 winter wheat and triticale accessions from Krasnodar was tested in West Siberia environment. Their ofsprings were sown early in the spring near Novosibirsk to study their plasticity and to obtain “spring analogs”. In the fall the percentage of fertile plants was equal to 0 in the case of 5 accessions and to not more than 59.3 in other 29 accessions partly because of the presence of sterile plants. The progeny of this sowing was sown next year late in the spring. As a result, in the fall fer tile plants were observed in the progeny of only 15 winter accessions. Also plants at the stage of tillering were observed in the progeny of 28 accessions at the beginning of winter. Some of them survived and developed seeds next year earlier than winter cultivars. Variability in performance was observed between these plants in spite of sandy soil (low humidity content) and May-June strong drought. So, such “winter-spring” plants can be used for breeding wheat and triticale accessions suitable for sowing late in the spring or early in the summer and harvesting next year earlier than winter cultivars. They can be developed in accordance with sustainable agriculture, because “winter-spring” plants were generated in an extremely unfavourable environment: sandy acid soil (pH 4.9–5.3) with low fertility (nitrogen content in the upper 40-cm layer was below 25 kg/ha) without fertilizer application. There is a theoretical posibility to breed “winter-spring” plants in simultaneous sowings with spring cultivars.
The Occurrence of Black and White in Economic Spanish and English

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

The present paper deals with lexical units (words, expressions, fixed constructions, collocations, locutions, proverbs) with the component of the colours black and white in their structure which are used in economic language, i.e., language used in the fields of business, finance, banking, trade and other aspects of the economy. It is primarily aimed at the meaning of these lexical units and subsequently compares and contrasts their connotations to verify whether the symbolism of the colours black and white (negative or positive) is also reflected in economic language. Special attention is paid to the semantic extension and the use of these naming units by Spanish and English speakers. The chosen approach assumes that the differences in the meaning and usage of these constructions derive from the cultural differences between the countries where Spanish or English are spoken.
Device-Free Multi-Person Respiration Monitoring Using WiFi

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Device-free respiration wireless monitoring is an emerging vital sign monitoring technique which could estimate respiration rate in a contactless manner by analyzing the cyclical influence of human respiration on surrounding wireless signals. This technique has a wide application prospect in the fields of intelligent vehicles, fatigue driving detection, and smart space. State-of-art methods have achieved excellent performance in monitoring the respiration of a single person. However, when there are multi-person need to be monitored simultaneously, most of existing methods will fail due to the aliasing of multiple respiratory signals. To solve this problem, we explore to separate multiple respiratory signals through a multi-domain analysis method. Specifically, we try to observe the influenced wireless signals from both the Doppler domain and angle of arrival (AoA) domain. We design a super resolution method to build the two-dimensional Doppler AoA map (DAM), and then, estimate the respiration rate of each person by clustering and analyzing the DAM. Experimental results on commodity WiFi hardware show that it can monitor the respiration rate of three persons simultaneously with an accuracy of 97.5%.
Does the Interference of GR® Volunteer Corn Alters Stress Metabolism on Soybean?

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

ABSTRACT: The cultivation of GR® corn prior to soybean favors the occurrence of GR® volunteer corn plants interfering in soybean crops. The interference of volunteer corn causes the soybean yield losses, and the magnitude of losses varies with the corn density. The soybean yield losses can be partially explained by the occurrence of oxidative stress, which occurs by the higher content of reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The objective of this study was to quantify H2O2 content and the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) on soybean as a function of interference of populations of GR® volunteer corn originated from individual plants and clumps (clumps are seven corn plants emerged at the same point) in different times, as well as to determine wheter this interference alters stress metabolism on soybean. Quantification was performed at 20, 35 and 46 days after emergence (DAE) of soybean. The mean volunteer corn populations were 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 10 and 12 plants or clumps m-2. The results show changes in H2O2 content and SOD, CAT and APX activity as a response to interference with volunteer corn populations and origins. The higher activity was observated for SOD. Soybean yield reduce with the increase of populations of volunteer corn originated from individual plants and clumps.
Increasing Cold Lake Recovery by Adapting Steamflood Principles to a Bitumen Reservoir

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

Abstract The Cold Lake project, located in Alberta, Canada, is the world’s largest heavy oil in situ thermal development, with production of about 24,000 m3/d (150 kB/d) of oil from more than 4500 wells. In 2009, Cold Lake produced its one billionth barrel (160 million m3) of heavy oil. The world class Cold Lake hydrocarbon resource is characterized as a bitumen deposit, featuring in situ viscosities in excess of 100,000 mPa-s. Early depletion plans envisioned a thermal recovery process similar to the steamflood technologies employed to recover heavy oil in California’s San Joaquin Valley. The order of magnitude difference between Cold Lake and California in-situ viscosities, however, severely limits steam injectivity below fracture pressure, necessitating the development of a Cold Lake specific cyclic steam stimulation (CSS) process throughout the 1980s. Continual process optimization combined with infill drilling has resulted in a progressive increase in expected bitumen recovery from 13% to greater than 40% of effective bitumen in place (EBIP). A multi-disciplinary reservoir management effort conducted over the last several years has provided the view that Cold Lake recovery levels may potentially be increased to over 65% by adapting steamflood principles to mature CSS areas of the reservoir: reservoir simulation was used to define the steamflood opportunity’s technical and economic viabilityan extensive selection process based on several criteria was used to select an appropriate field trial locationtrial plans were reviewed with experts with California steamflood experiencea Cold Lake steamflood field trail was designed, implemented and successfully operated for three years As cyclic process efficiency declines due to lack of steam confinement, steamflood technologies become an attractive recovery scheme in mature Cold Lake reservoir by capitalizing on large scale inter-well communication while focusing on gravity drainage: trial results to date are encouraging and in agreement with performance predictionssuccess to date has benefited from the evaluation of prior trails at Cold Lake, review of global steamflood analogs and extensive reservoir simulation efforts prior to field trial design and implementationsteam confinement is a significant but manageable operational challenge
Exploring the influence of refuges and additional foods on predator–prey interactions amidst environmental stochasticity and water level fluctuations

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

By considering that the predators have some additional foods apart from the focal prey and the prey take refuge, a predator–prey model with the effect of seasonality in a fluctuating environment is investigated in this study. Gaussian white noises, created by random fluctuation of water level, are introduced on the prey’s growth rate and predator’s mortality rate. Both the deterministic and stochastic systems are analyzed mathematically as well as numerically. Our analytical findings show that the intensity of environmental noise, additional foods and prey refuge play significant roles in survival as well as extinction of both prey and predator populations in the aquatic system. Our numerical results show that the effectual level of additional foods, depending on water level, has positive as well as negative effects on the predator and prey populations. We find that both species strongly persist at certain water level and for the low intensity of noise. However, for an increased value of noise intensity, they persist weakly and then go to extinction. Overall, our findings show that the variations of water level together with additional food and white noise plays crucial roles in persistence and extinction of species in the ecosystem.
Ørsted Initial Field Model

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Magnetic measurements taken by the Ørsted satellite during geomagnetic quiet conditions around January 1, 2000 have been used to derive a spherical harmonic model of the Earth's magnetic field for epoch 2000.0. The maximum degree and order of the model is 19 for internal, and 2 for external, source fields; however, coefficients above degree 14 may not be robust. Such a detailed model exists for only one previous epoch, 1980. Achieved rms misfit is <2 nT for the scalar intensity and <3 nT for one of the vector components perpendicular to the magnetic field. For scientific purposes related to the Ørsted mission, this model supercedes IGRF 2000.
Solitary Leptomeningeal Metastasis from Lung Cancer: A Case Report

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) is a rare but devastating cancer complication. LM occurs when cancer spreads into the leptomeningeal layer or cerebrospinal fluid. Intracranial magnetic resonance (MR) images of LM are characterized by the diffuse enhancement of the leptomeninges along the cerebral sulci, cerebellar folia, and cranial nerves. Here, we report an extremely rare case of LM with an atypical MR image revealing tumor mass confinement to the arachnoid membrane. The case involves an 85-year-old man who was referred to our hospital with a three-day history of dysarthria. Radiological examination revealed a solid lesion with heterogeneous enhancement and a cystic component in the extra-axial region of the right parietal lobe. Upon subsequent general examination, multiple lung cancer metastases were suspected. The patient underwent gross total resection of the brain mass in the right parietal region. Although the tumor slightly adhered to the dura mater, it was sharply demarcated from the surrounding parenchyma and pia mater. Based on pathological examination, the tumor was diagnosed as small cell lung cancer metastasis. This metastatic brain tumor was exclusively confined to the arachnoid membrane and, except for a few blood vessels, the dura mater was not infiltrated by metastatic tumor cells. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of LM in which the tumor mass is confined only to the arachnoid membrane. Thus, in cases with atypical MR images, a general examination considering the possibility of LM is important for prompt and accurate diagnosis.
Preparation of cypress (Cupressus sempervirens L.) essential oil loaded poly(lactic acid) nanofibers

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract This study investigated the production of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) nanofibers containing cypress (CUP) essential oil (EO) via electrospinning. The nanofibers were produced from polymer solution prepared with different percentages of cypress EO. Cypress EO-containing PLA nanofibers were characterized and some mechanical and thermal properties were examined using thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and dynamic mechanical analysis. The thermal stability of the nanofibers was reduced depending on the percentage of the cypress EO. As the ratio of the cypress EO to polymer matrices was increased, it was observed that the glassy transition temperatures of the nanofibers decreased and their flexibility increased. The T g value was determined to be 53.74°C for the neat PLA nanofiber, while 51.83°C for the PLA-CUP nanofiber (containing 15% cypress EO). According to the results of releasing trial, the increased amount of cypress EO resulted in less cypress EO releasing from polymer matrices. The nanofibers were observed to exhibit antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus . The inhibition zone diameter of the nanofibers containing 10% cypress EO was 20 mm for S. aureus and 16 mm for E. coli , while 10 mm in the presence of Kanamycin.
Evaluation of the clinical analysis service provided to an emergency department

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

"Introduction: Time for releasing test results and critical value communication by the clinical laboratory are considered important determinants of patients’ length of stay in the Emergency Department (ED). As well as physician satisfaction, they are used as quality indicators of the Clinical Analysis Service (CAS). Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the time to return a test result, the communication of critical values and the level of satisfaction of the ED physicians of a university hospital with the CAS. Material and methods: A physician satisfaction survey was conducted using a questionnaire. The test turnaround time for emergency requests was analyzed by observation of the pre-analytical phase and monitoring the analytical and post-analytical phases through the laboratory information system. In order to evaluate the communication of critical values by the CAS, a document analysis of the process was performed. Results: Physicians’ overall satisfaction with the CAS was considered average. Greater satisfaction was observed with reliability of the results and the staff courtesy and lesser with the delivery time of results. The test turnaround time exceeded clinicians’ expectations and the average described in the literature. No experience with critical-value communication was perceived. Conclusion: The results show several opportunities for progress in the relationship between ED and CAS. The improvement of laboratory quality indicators also depends on the involvement of ED physicians and nurses and embraces monitoring, planning, education and investment in system computerization."
