A Hashimoto-thyreoiditisben kialakuló papillaris pajzsmirigy-carcinoma klinikopatológiai jellegzetességei

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract: Introduction and aim: Former studies suggest the frequent coexistence of Hashimoto’s thyreoditis with papillary thyroid cancer, frequently featured by multifocal carcinogenesis but lower clinical stages compared to thyroid cancers lacking thyroiditis. We examined the clinico-pathological correlations between Hashimoto’s thyroditis and papillary thyroid cancer in our region in the North-Eastern part of Hungary. Patients and method: We included a total of 230 patients with papillary thyroid cancer who underwent thyroid surgery at the Surgical Department of the University of Debrecen. Patients’ sex, age, multifocality of thyroid cancer and clinical stage were evaluated. Results: Cases included 40 patients (17.4%) with (4 male, 36 female) and 190 (82.6%) patients without HT (44 male, 146 female). Hashimoto’s thyroiditis related thyroid cancer was almost exclusively associated with the papillary histological type. Multifocality of papillary cancer was significantly more frequent with coexisting Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (16/40; 40.0%) compared to cases uninvolved (45/190; 23.7%; p = 0.034). In contrast, lymph node metastasis was significantly less frequent among patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (4 pN1 [36.4%]; 7 pN0 [63.6%]) then without it (34 pN1 [82.9%]; 7 pN0 [17.1%]; p = 0.002). Conclusion: Higher frequency and multifocality of papillary thyroid cancer might be the consequence of preexisting Hashimoto’s thyroiditis to be considered as a preneoplastic stimulus supporting carcinogenesis, though the exact pathomechanism of this correlation is not clear yet.

Dance and Authenticity in Israel and Palestine

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Dance and Authenticity is an ethnography of dance performance and cultural form. It describes how dabkeh, a type of dance performed at Palestinian weddings, became a model for the Israeli Jewish debkah as a means of affirming Israeli Jewish belonging and common society. The Palestinian dabkeh, in turn, acquired nationalist meanings, especially after the 1967 war and the occupation of the West Bank. The book traces the history of these competing, and conflicting, dance forms, basing the argument principally on the ethnographic study of two Palestinian and one Israeli Jewish dance group conducted between 1998 and 1999. The result is a fascinating parallel ethnography, showing how the ethnography of dance forms contributes to evolving notions of collective national and political identity in a context of unequal power.
KOMPETENSI GURU PAUD DI BANJARMASIN YANG TIDAK MEMILIKI LATAR BELAKANG PENDIDIKAN S1 PAUD

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Teachers have abilities that play an important role in carrying out their duties, and their level of competence often determines the success of education. In an effort to meet competency standards, teachers are expected to have the knowledge and skills appropriate to their field. However, there are still gaps in this regard, especially in aspects such as pedagogic, professional, personal and social competencies. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the competencies of PAUD teachers who are not S1 PAUD education graduates in two institutions in Banjarmasin City, as well as identify factors that influence their competencies. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection through observation, interviews and documentation. The results showed that some teachers still face difficulties in preparing lesson plans independently, which has an impact on the monotony of the learning process. In addition, there are teachers who have not fully fulfilled aspects of social competence.
Defective Human Motion Perception in Cervical Dystonia Correlates With Coexisting Tremor

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

ABSTRACT Background The ability to predict temporal outcome of body movement is abnormal in idiopathic dystonia and can be altered by cerebellar neuromodulation. Tremor in cervical dystonia might be associated with performance on motion perception tasks. Methods A total of 15 cervical dystonia patients with and 14 without tremor and 15 age‐matched healthy participants estimated the termination of videos showing different movements (handwriting a sentence, ball reaching a target) after these were darkened at different time intervals. Results Cervical dystonia patients with tremor exhibited greater absolute timing error across all intervals of the hand motion task (group × task interaction effect, F 2,41 = 4.57; P = 0.016). The percentage of responses in anticipation for both motion tasks did not differ across groups, suggesting lack of timing error directionality. Conclusions Temporal processing of perceived motion in cervical dystonia is associated with the presence of tremor. Cortico‐cerebellar network abnormalities in cervical dystonia might account for motion processing changes in these patients. © 2020 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society
How Central Line Guideline Adherence and Application Impacts Patient Outcomes

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a frequent cause of patient morbidity and mortality\nand affect hundreds of millions of patients throughout the world annually. Central line-associated\nblood stream infections (CLABSIs) are one type of HAIs that contributes to poor patient\noutcomes. Properly assessing a central line for patency enables a health care provider to diagnose\na thrombotic occlusion, a common complication of central lines and precursor to infection, to\ndetermine if the assessment includes checking for a brisk blood return. There is a lack of\nresearch assessing the relationship between checking a central line for a brisk blood return and\nthe resulting rates of CLABSI. Using the theory of social suffering as a framework, the purpose\nof this study was to explore the relationship between central line assessment practices and\nCLABSI rates. This quantitative case control study included simple and multiple linear\nregressions and descriptive statistics to evaluate the 330 CLABSIs reported by 56 hospitals in\nMichigan and how the need to assess for a brisk blood return impacted the CLABSI rate at each\ninstitution. Furthermore, the policies and practices of central line assessment were compared\nbetween university- and community-based hospitals, which resulted in no statistical difference;\ntherefore, the null hypothesis could not be rejected. This study could contribute to positive social\nchange by encouraging administrators to focus on creating consistent central line maintenance\npolicies, adoption of these policies and adherence to the policies, in order to decrease the\nCLABSIs and improve patient outcomes.
COOPERATIVE EFFECTS AND PLASMA LOSSES IN A MAGNETIC FIELD.

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Diffusion of electrons and ions in a plasma across a magnetic field with the interplay of an anisotropic dynamical friction is formualted in terms of the methods of Brownian motion. For a special symmetry of the dynamical friction matrix it is found that for Larmor periods of the order of the relaxation time across the magnetic field the duffusion takes place as an ordinary Brownian motion uninhibited by the external magnetic field.

The facilitators, barriers, and perceived benefits of the web-based Mental Health Toolkit implementation at Finnish workplaces

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Mental health disorders are one of the leading causes of work disability. This study explored factors affecting the implementation of a web-based Mental Health Toolkit in six large Finnish workplaces. Using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) and thematic analysis, we identified facilitators and barriers to implementation. Key facilitators included alignment with organisational strategies, a supportive coordinator, and integration into existing practices. Barriers included resource and time constraints, poor fit with tasks, insufficient communication and limited meeting opportunities. The tools were perceived to enhance employees' sense of being heard, support discussions on well-being, and improve work practices. The study highlights the importance of strategic alignment and organisational support in implementing mental health tools. Our findings provide valuable insights for future workplace interventions, emphasising the need to consider workplace-specific contexts. These results highlight the potential of web-based tools to promote mental health and employee participation when effectively integrated and supported.

Price index that can be used both to track price changes associated with highway construction costs, and to convert current dollar expenditures on highway construction to real or constant dollar expenditures. The National Highway Construction Cost Index (NHCCI) is intended to replace the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Bid-Price Index (BPI) in the future, but also to be compared with BPI for historical purposes.
Environmental Management and Sustainability Science Master Thesis-Mandy van Leeuwen

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Public Private Academic Partnerships are becoming more popular in Denmark to guide companies in becoming more sustainable. The strength is in the interrelationship between the public, private and academic partner in which they interdependently make efforts on reducing their impact on the environment. However, not all the PPAPs in Denmark can show how they are actually achieving this. It is proposed in this research that an environmental impacts calculator like the Milieubarometer could show the member’s achievements in reducing their environmental impacts from direct consumption (i.e. electricity, fuels, water and waste). Interviews are conducted with five companies and the municipality to find out if and how the Milieubarometer can be used among the members of the PPAP. Three of the six interviewees provided data to enter in the Milieubarometer or entered the data in the tool themselves. Due to this, some adjustments for the Milieubarometer are proposed to make it feasible for the members to use. For the PPAP as a whole, the Milieubarometer is proposed as a tool to support internal discussions among the members to show the reductions made in their production related emissions (and with that in the financial costs) and/or to incite competitiveness among each other in reducing their CO2 emissions. Next to that, the Milieubarometer can be used to disclose the effectivity of joint organised environmental impact reduction programs, like a water consumption reduction plan. The Milieubarometer is seen as a way to communicate about environmental achievements, which is necessary for a good interrelationship between the partners of the PPAP as well as to external partners to show how important PPAPs are in reducing the impacts on the environment while still encouraging modernization among the partners.
A Robust Framework to Design Optimal Radar Deployment for Range-Based Target Localization Technique

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, the problem of designing the optimal positions of monostatic radars composing a multiplatform network is pursued. Leveraging the CRB of the target position based on radar range measurements, two different figures of merit (independent of the actual target location) are considered. Unlike the state-of-the-art techniques, which usually rely on the restrictive assumption that the target is at the center of the sensing region and study the determination of the optimal angular orientation of the nodes, a new approach to design the optimal radar deployment (without knowing target location) is developed. Specifically, a region where the target is likely to be present is considered and either the trace of the CRB averaged over the grid points sampling the surveillance area (shortly average CRB), or the maximum trace of CRB over the mentioned grid points (shortly worst-case CRB) is minimized. Hence, an optimization framework based on block majorization-minimization (referred to as block-MM) is proposed to deal with the formulated resource allocation problems. Remarkably, regardless of the considered figures of merit, the design objective decreases monotonically along the iteration steps of the proposed algorithm. The developed methodology can also efficiently handle the case of nonuniform measurement noise. Finally, via numerical simulations, the effectiveness of the developed methods is shown.
(Invited) Anion Exchange Membranes

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

I didn't think I was going to work on anion exchange membranes until Shimshon gave me a call in early 2008 wanting to talk about quaternary ammonium-containing polymers. It has been an interesting journey since then. CellEra's support allowed me to hire my first postdoc - Jingling Yan - and also introduced me to a great cast of characters including Ziv, Dario, John, Yanagi-san, Lin, and the rest. It has been a wild ride and I still remember our dinner in Old Jaffa where I have since eaten with my wife and my parents. I have to thank Shimshon for all of that. It was an interesting time where there was so much excitement and promise in a technology that didn't even work very well. But, Shimshon's vision has really now come true with major federal programs starting in anion exchange membrane fuel cells, dedicated conferences, and some of the highest-impact work in fuel cells now occurring in the orbit of anion technology. Once again, we are following Shimshon. This talk will trace my journey in anion exchange membranes over the last 10 years and show how our thinking has evolved from the early days of chloromethylated poly(sulfone) to our new generation of Ziegler-Natta poly(olefin) anion exchange membranes that show high base resistance and good fuel cell device performance.
Investigation effect of 12-week High-Intensity Interval Training FOXO1 Gene Expression of Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue and Insulin Resistance in Type 2 Diabetic Rats

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background and Objectives: Studies have pointed to the possible role of FOXO1 in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes, due to the claim that it affects glycemic control and lipid metabolism. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 12 weeks of high-intensity interval (HIIT) on FOXO1 expression in subcutaneous adipose tissue, insulin resistance, insulin resistance, and blood glucose in type 2 diabetic rats.\nMaterials and Methods: This is a fundamental and experimental research. The statistical population of this study is all male Wistar rats of Pasteur Institute of Iran. Among them, 14 male Wistar 10 week old rats weighing 220 ± 20 gr Randomized method was used to participate in the study. After a fasting night (12 hours), rats were diabetic by injection of nicotinamide and streptozotocin and divided into 2 groups of HIIT training and control. 12-week exercises were performed in 5 sessions of 30 minutes per week in the running of the treadmill with 1-minute repetitions and 2-minute active rest. The untrained diabetic group did not attend any exercise program. 48 hours after the last training session, the rats were anesthetized and slaughtered. A t-test was used for statistical analysis.\nResults: 12 weeks of periodic exercise decreased the relative expression of FOXO1 in comparison with the control group (P = 0.033). However, there was no significant difference in insulin resistance between the two groups (P = 0.921), but glucose and insulin decreased significantly with 12 weeks of periodic exercise (P = 0.001).\nConclusion: 12 weeks of HIIT training leads to a decrease in blood glucose levels, despite the lack of insulin resistance in type 2 diabetic rats. This improvement can be attributed somewhat to signaling pathways dependent on changes in the expression of FOXO1 independent of insulin resistance.

Exploring constrained quantum control landscapes

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The broad success of optimally controlling quantum systems with external fields has been attributed to the favorable topology of the underlying control landscape, where the landscape is the physical observable as a function of the controls. The control landscape can be shown to contain no suboptimal trapping extrema upon satisfaction of reasonable physical assumptions, but this topological analysis does not hold when significant constraints are placed on the control resources. This work employs simulations to explore the topology and features of the control landscape for pure-state population transfer with a constrained class of control fields. The fields are parameterized in terms of a set of uniformly spaced spectral frequencies, with the associated phases acting as the controls. This restricted family of fields provides a simple illustration for assessing the impact of constraints upon seeking optimal control. Optimization results reveal that the minimum number of phase controls necessary to assure a high yield in the target state has a special dependence on the number of accessible energy levels in the quantum system, revealed from an analysis of the first- and second-order variation of the yield with respect to the controls. When an insufficient number of controls and/or a weak control fluence are employed, trapping extrema and saddle points are observed on the landscape. When the control resources are sufficiently flexible, solutions producing the globally maximal yield are found to form connected “level sets” of continuously variable control fields that preserve the yield. These optimal yield level sets are found to shrink to isolated points on the top of the landscape as the control field fluence is decreased, and further reduction of the fluence turns these points into suboptimal trapping extrema on the landscape. Although constrained control fields can come in many forms beyond the cases explored here, the behavior found in this paper is illustrative of the impacts that constraints can introduce.
Incisal edge reattachment: literature review and treatment perspectives.

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

Anterior crown fractures in children and adolescents are a common form of injury, affecting approximately 25% of that population. Common restorative treatments such as composite bonding, laminate veneers, or full-coverage restorations tend to sacrifice healthy tooth structure and challenge dentists to match the adjacent unrestored dentition. Incisal edge fragment reattachment, including the use of current bonding techniques, is a restorative treatment option that offers the advantages of simplicity, immediate esthetics, and conservatism in cases of dental trauma. This article presents a comprehensive literature review on this restorative technique. It also provides diagnostic and treatment algorithms to simplify and clarify the recommended diagnostic and clinical regimens.
Determinants of foreign direct investment in Malaysia:what matter most?

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

This paper examines the determinants of foreign direct investment in Malaysia for the period 1970-2008. The causality and dynamic relationships between foreign direct investment (FDI) and its key determinants is identified using autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) framework. The result suggests that among the variables, financial development and economic growth contribute positively to the inflow of foreign direct investment in Malaysia. The establishment of more financial intermediaries with a modern and sophisticated technology in the banking system creates a favorable environment to the foreign investors. The evidence provides strong policy recommendation on sustaining high growth and financial deepening in Malaysia.
