Is the Horaana strain of the Culex pipiens group Culex pipiens pallens?

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The validity of the Horaana strain of the Culex pipiens group as Cx. pipiens pallens was studied. Judging from the fourth instar characters and morphology of the adult male genitalia, this laboratory strain is now out of the range of ordinary Cx.p. pallens in Japan, and must be identified as Cx. p. quinquefasciatus.

Assessment of the "E' book as a tool for drug monitoring.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

For two years, the following records were linked for 10 453 people: (1) basic attributes; (2) details of prescriptions; and (3) information about illnesses recorded by general practitioners (GPs) in an "E' book. Analyses were performed to reveal association between drugs and diagnoses. Although the "E' book has certain disadvantages for drug monitoring, the methods proved to be capable of detecting adverse effects of drugs. Unfortunately the number of practitioners using "E' books would be too small for detection of most serious hazards such as the induction of cancer. Hence it is concluded that the first priority should be to establish a record linkage scheme covering hospital admissions, obstetric deliveries, and deaths.
Designing model for career development service

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The purpose of this thesis was to design a model for a new career development service. The service has to solve the existing career development problems, such as understanding personal position and opportunities in the job market, ways to develop new skills, and how to keep the skill set up-to-date. \n\nThis study was based on existing knowledge and best practices about Service Design and Database modelling. The chosen conceptual frameworks for different parts of the service model execution created a holistic conceptual framework for service model design. It can be used for modeling other online services.\n\nThe model was explained graphically by using Service Encounter Blueprint, Entity-Relational modelling with verbal description. The validation of the service model was done by creating database prototype with real-life data. After that it was tested with specialists from chosen occupational area. \n\nThis thesis fulfilled the assigned objective. The designed model received good assessment from the users. Nonetheless, this study is only the first step for creating an online Career Development Service. The model can be changed in the next steps of service creation due to different reasons (for example, data analysis results, software specifics). But this is a well-described and validated model for the next steps of service creation.
Armaments and Escalation: Two Competing Hypotheses

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Since earliest times national leaders have believed that "if you seek peace, prepare for war." In the twentieth century, this belief has been challenged by those who see military "overpreparedness" not as a deterrent, but as a trigger for war-provoking arms races. This article attempts a comparative empirical test of these "preparedness" and "arms race" hypotheses with reference to serious great power disputes since 1816. It was found that, contrary to the prediction of the preparedness hypothesis, a crisis was no more likely to escalate to an all-out war when the "revisionist" great power possessed a significant military advantage vis-à-vis its "status quo" rival. Escalation was no more likely when the revisionist power was improving its relative position, nor when the revisionist power was both relatively stronger and increasing its lead. On the other hand, the existence of an arms race between the two powers prior to the dispute was very strongly associated with its subsequent escalation to full-scale hostilities. The implications of these findings for current policy debates are noted.
Inclusiveness of the Small-Holder Farmer Key Success Factors for Ethiopian Agribusiness Development

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

This case uses an example of a progressive women farmer entrepreneur (Hiruth) operating a dairy business in Ethiopia and offers valuable lessons for businesses operating in Africa and elsewhere in the world. While on the market side, the demand for milk based products is on the rise in Ethiopia, the supply side poses several known challenges. Due to supply shortage of the right quality milk, most processing facilities operate at 50% to 60% of their capacity. In such an operating environment, Hiruth has managed to create and grow her business at a rapid pace. This case demonstrates how Hiruth managed to build her supply base loyalty by assuring purchase and quality based price premium and managed to build a fool-proof supply chain. By positioning herself as an orchestrator of the chain rather than just as a buyer has enabled her to build a robust chain and a growing business.
Factors Influencing Payment of Retirement Benefits in Tanzania; A case of retirees in the Local Council of Masasi District

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The study was on factors influencing payment of terminal benefits to retirees in Tanzania. The research was conducted in Masasi District Council. The objectives of the study were; to explore factors influencing payment of terminal benefits to retirees in Masasi, to examine the process for payment of benefits in Social Security Funds in Masasi; and to explore challenges encountered by retirees during waiting for their benefits. The study opted qualitative research design and had 118 participants among retirees and officers who were selected as sample size. Both primary and secondary data were collected using questionnaires, interviews and documentary review. The data collected was analyzed and presented by narrative notes, numerical figures and percentages. Findings from the study revealed that; age of working, benefit formulae and employers’ contributions were among factors influencing payment of terminal benefits to retirees. It was also observed that some retirees were not paid their benefits on time, due to non-submission of correct documents needed for the processing of their benefits. It was concluded that, there are problems which need to be addressed by both employers and Social Security Funds in the country. The study recommended that employers should ensure well kept documents of their employees and should submit them to the relevant fund on time for benefits processing and payment; Managers should improve communication among key stakeholders in respective funds to ensure regular training of officials who deal with pension matters for employees.
SMEFT analysis of charged lepton flavor violating B-meson decays

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Charged lepton flavor violation (cLFV) processes, potentially important for various beyond the Standard Model physics scenarios are analyzed in the Standard Model effective field theory framework. We consider the most relevant two-quark–two-lepton (2q2ℓ) operators for the leptonic and semileptonic LFV B-decay (LFVBD) processes Bs→μ+e−,B+→K+μ+e−,B0→K*0μ+e−, and Bs→ϕμ−e+. We analyze the interplay among the Wilson coefficients responsible for these LFVBDs and other cLFV processes, like CR(μ→e), ℓi→ℓjγ, ℓi→ℓjℓkℓm, and Z→ℓiℓj, to find the maximal possible LFV effects in B-meson decays. We probe the scale of new physics in relation to the constraints imposed by both classes of the LFV decays while considering both the present bounds and future expectations. In view of proposed experiments at LHCb-II and Belle II to study charged LFV processes, we have also provided the upper limits on the indirect constraints on such LFVBDs. For the processes where the B meson is decaying to μ± and e∓, we show that new physics can be constrained by an enhancement of 2–4 orders of magnitude on the current sensitivities of the branching ratios of B+→K+μ+e−,B0→K*0μ+e−, and Bs→ϕμ±e∓.

Interfuel Substitution: A Meta Analysis

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Interfuel substitutability has been of longstanding interest to energy economists and policy makers. However, there has been no quantitative meta-analysis of this literature. This research report fills this gap by analysing a broad sample of studies of interfuel substitution in the industrial sector, manufacturing industry or sub-industries, and macro-economy of a variety of developed and developing economies. The primary study sample size has been included in the meta-regression to control for publication bias. At the industrial level, results for the shadow elasticities of substitution between coal, oil, gas, and electricity for forty-six primary studies show that, except for gas-electricity and coal-electricity, there are easy substitution possibilities between all the fuel pairs. Substitution possibilities seem more constrained at the macro level and less constrained in sub-industries. Estimates also vary across countries. Publication bias does not appear to be present, but model and data specification issues very significantly affect the estimates derived by each individual study. Estimates from cross-section regressions are generally largest, and fixed effects panel estimates are intermediate. Time-series estimates are mostly much smaller. Econometric research suggests that the fixed effects estimates, although biased downwards, are likely to be the best among the existing studies.

Tuberculosis of the craniocervical junction

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Tuberculosis of the craniocervical junction is rare even where the condition is endemic. It poses problems in both diagnosis and management. We describe 25 cases followed over a period of 12 years, and relate the presentation, diagnosis and management. Of our 25 patients 16 were managed conservatively and nine by surgery. In order to diagnose this condition a high index of suspicion and advanced imaging techniques are necessary. Early diagnosis and adequate treatment led to good results without fatal complications.
MiLeTS'21: 7th KDD Workshop on Mining and Learning from Time Series

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Time series data are ubiquitous. Rapid advances in diverse sensing technologies, ranging from remote sensors to wearables and social sensing, are generating a rapid growth in the size and complexity of time series archives. This has resulted in a fundamental shift away from parsimonious, infrequent measurement to nearly continuous monitoring and recording. This demands development of new tools and solutions. The goals of this workshop are to: (1) highlight the significant challenges that underpin learning and mining from time series data (e.g. irregular sampling, spatiotemporal structure, and uncertainty quantification), (2) discuss recent algorithmic, theoretical, statistical, or systems-based developments for tackling these problems, and (3) synergize the research activities and discuss both new and open problems in time series analysis and mining.
Water Quality during the Recreational High Season for a Macrotidal Beach (Ajuruteua, Pará, Brazil)

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

ABSTRACT Pessoa, R.M.C.; Pereira, L.C.C.; Sousa, R.C., and Costa, R.M., 2016. Recreational Quality on a Macrotidal Beach (Ajuruteua, Pará, Brazil). Proceedings of the 14th International Coastal Symposium (Sydney, Australia). Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue, No. 75, pp. 1221 - 1226. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Coastal tourism in the Brazilian Amazon region is limited by logistic problems and climatic conditions, with recreation being concentrated in the school vacation period and bank holiday weekends. The present study evaluated the temporal variation in recreational, climatological, hydrodynamic, and microbiological processes among two bank holiday weekends and one weekend during the summer school vacation in July. One weekend was the Easter bank holiday in the rainy season in April, and the second was Brazilian Independence day, in the dry season in September. Data on hydrodynamics (tides and waves), climate (rainfall), and microbiological parameters (thermotolerant coliform levels) were collected, and the number of visitors was recorded every 3 hours between 07:00 h and 19:00 h (Friday through Monday), during each study period. The largest numbers of bathers were recorded during the dry season (July followed by September). The high precipitation levels recorded during the rainy season resulted in a reduced number of visitors and consequently low concentrations of thermotolerant coliforms. High rainfall rates are typical of Amazonian beaches and affect recreational activities. While there is no basic sanitation in the study area, the low concentrations of thermotolerant coliforms indicate that the water was safe for bathers In April and September. During the July vacation, however, high concentrations of beachgoers resulted in the contamination of the water, which was unsafe for bathing. Given this situation, management measures are urgently needed to increase the recreational quality of the beach and improve the water quality during the school vacation period.
Festive landscapes: the contemporary practice of well-dressing in Tissington

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Well-dressing is a festive practice that takes place in many Derbyshire Villages. Each summer wooden boards are coated in clay and flower petals are pressed into them to make pictures, these are then used to adorn local wells and water sources. This article examines well-dressing in the village of Tissington in relation to different aspects of the Peak District Landscape. It argues that well-dressing is the product of specific geological characteristics of the landscape. It asserts that the practice produces new forms of affective landscape. These include readings of the botanical landscapes and the community landscapes that form around the event. It goes on to argue that well-dressing also makes visible a hegemonic landscape that structures village life. Detailed analysis of this event reveals connections between the local and the global and articulates a set of diverse landscapes which texture contemporary rural life.

Method: The study was carried out descriptively and cross-sectionally. The sample of the study consisted of 200 sexually active women aged 15- 49 years who used the coitus interruptus method at any stage of their lives, and applied to a Mother and Child Health Family Planning Center in Bornova, Izmir so as to use an effective family planning method. The data of the study were collected by face to face interview method using the questionnaire form prepared by the researchers in line with the literature.The data were evaluated in SPSS, 16.0 package program and the numerical and percentage distributions of the collected data were created. Results: Sixty percent of women aged 15-49 years who participated in our study were in the 20-34 age group, and 40% of them were literate / primary school graduates.It was determined that 30.5% of these women were using the coitus interruptus method because of their spouses desired and 34% of these women quit this method due to its negative aspects.Seventy-eight percent of these women were using effective family planning methods because of their positive features and 56.0% of them preferred IUD as an effective method. It was determined that 17% of the women in our study got pregnant while using the coitus interruptus method.In addition, a significant difference was detected between age and the reasons why women preferred the coitus interruptus method (p <0.05). Conclusions: According to the results of the study, women included in the study prefer the withdrawal method because their spouses desired, and quit it because of the negative aspects of the method.
Five-year overall survival with S-1 plus docetaxel as adjuvant treatment in curatively resected pStage III gastric cancer in JACCRO GC-07.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

4065 Background: JACCRO GC-07 is a randomized controlled trial to explore postoperative S-1/docetaxel compared to S-1 alone after D2 gastrectomy for pStage III gastric cancer (GC) patients. The second interim analysis demonstrated that the significant improvement of RFS was obtained by S-1/docetaxel compared to S-1 alone. The study was terminated by the recommendation of independent data and safety monitoring committee (Yoshida K et al. J Clin Oncol 2019; 37:1296-1304). Preplanned analysis to evaluate RFS at 3 years, the primary endpoint, was also published (Kakeji Y et al. Gastric Cancer 2022; 25:186-196). We report the 5-years follow-up data from the trial. Methods: Patients with pStage III GC were randomly assigned to receive either S-1/docetaxel (S-1 80-120mg/body on days 1-14 with a 7-day rest followed by docetaxel 40mg/m 2 on day 1 and S-1 80-120mg/body on days 1-14 every 21 days for 6 cycles followed by S-1 80-120mg/body on days 1-28 every 42 days for 4 cycles) or S-1 (80-120mg/body on days 1-28 every 42 days for 8 cycles) after D2 gastrectomy. Blocked randomisation was performed and stratified by the stage (IIIA, IIIB, IIIC) and histological type (differentiated or undifferentiated). The primary endpoint was 3y RFS and the secondary endpoints were OS, TTF and safety. This analysis presents the final preplanned assessment of outcomes after 5 years. Results: Of 915 randomly assigned patients, 912 patients were included in the intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis. In the final analysis, 426 recurrences and 373 deaths were confirmed among the ITT population during the median follow-up period of 63.72 months (3.52-111.87). The 5y RFS of 59.8% in the S-1/docetaxel group was significantly superior to 50.6% in the S-1 group (HR 0.726, 95% CI: 0.599-0.879, p = 0.0010) and the 5y OS was 67.9% in the S-1/docetaxel group and that of S-1 group was 60.3%, respectively (HR 0.752, 95% CI: 0.613-0.922, p = 0.0059), confirming the significant improving effect on the survival of the patient. Conclusions: Adjuvant treatment with S-1 plus docetaxel should be considered for patients with pStage III gastric cancer who underwent D2 gastrectomy without neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

The Chinese burden of atrial fibrillation Systematic review of atrial fibrillation studies in China

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background : Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common heart rate disorders, but most relevant studies are mainly focused on Europe and The United States, while information about AF in Chinese population is scarce. The purpose of this study was to provide a systematic review of the literature on atrial fibrillation in China. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first systematic review for China’s burden of AF. Methods : A systematic literature search (Medline 2001-2021) identified studies reporting the prevalence or incidence of ATRIAL fibrillation, risk factors for atrial fibrillation, comorbidities of atrial fibrillation, and use of antithrombotic therapy in China. This report focuses on descriptive analytical data. Results : Studies reported a wide variation in the prevalence of AF, with a range of community-based and hospital-based AF rates (from 0.49% to 8.8% and 4.4-35.7%). Aspirin and warfarin use were found to be particularly low in community-based studies in China, and warfarin and amiodarone use were higher in hospital-based studies than in other countries. Stroke is the most common complication of atrial fibrillation. Conclusions: We need higher quality studies to understand the burden of AF in China and work to improve community delivery and monitoring of antithrombotic therapy after AF. Given the size of China’s population, the impact on healthcare resources could be significant in the future.

Improved Extraction Technique for the Infrared Spectrophotometry Analysis of Dioxathion, Malathion, and Other Organophosphate Insecticides in Livestock Emulsion Dips

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Abstract Certain livestock emulsion dips of dioxathion, malathion, and other organophosphate insecticides are not amenable to complete extraction of active ingredient by previous methods employed in infrared spectrophotometric determination. Evidence is presented which indicates that the major interference is dirt or soil contributed to the emulsion by animals during dipping. An improved extraction technique is presented which obviates this difficulty; it is recommended as a standard substitute in infrared analysis of organophosphate livestock dips.
