P134 Lung function in post-transplant Hodgkin's lymphoma patients

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

<sec><st>Introduction</st> Pulmonary complications are a prominent cause of morbidity and mortality following stem cell transplant (SCT) accounting for more than 30% of transplantation-related deaths. Exposure to agents associated with pulmonary toxicity (bleomycin, radiotherapy) is common in patients with Hodgkins lymphoma (HL) for whom SCT is a standard approach at relapse, making them potentially more susceptible to pulmonary toxicity post-transplant. Sequential pulmonary function tests (PFTs), are sensitive measures of lung disease after SCT allowing early diagnosis and treatment, thereby improving outcome. We report a retrospective analysis of serial PFT monitoring of patients with relapsed HL who underwent SCT. </sec> <sec><st>Methods</st> Patients were assessed with serial PFTs pre (T=0) and post SCT (initially 6&emsp14;weeks and then 3 monthly thereafter). Standardised PFTs were expressed as a percentage of the pre-transplant value (100%). Tests were carried out by the same personnel, to ensure standardisation and eliminate variability in patient performance. </sec> <sec><st>Results</st> 29 patients were studied with median age at SCT of 35.3&emsp14;years (range 17.1–60.7&emsp14;years). Pre-transplant conditioning utilised chemotherapy (predominantly BEAM—carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, melphalan) for all except two transplants (TBI based). The median follow up was 18&emsp14;months (range 3–117&emsp14;months) and a median of four PFTs performed (range 2–16). FEV<inf>1</inf> was decreased >10% in 13/29 and >20% in five of these patients, FVC was reduced >10% in 12/29 and >20% in 5/29. TLCO reduction >10% was observed in 21/29 and >20% in 13/29 and KCO decrease >10% occurred in 18/29 and >20% 9/29 patients. Reductions in TLCO/KCO occurred earlier than FEV<inf>1</inf>/FVC reductions (median 1.5 and 3&emsp14;months respectively). Recovery of lung function occurred in >50% of patients who had repeat investigation within 24&emsp14;m. Significant reduction of TLCO/KCO was observed in only 1/10 patients who had PFTs >3&emsp14;years from transplant (<cross-ref type="fig" refid="fig1">Abstract P134 Figure 1</cross-ref>). <fig loc="float" id="fig1"><no>Abstract P134 Figure 1</no> <link locator="thoraxjnl150987.35fig1"></fig> </sec> <sec><st>Conclusion</st> PFTs initially deteriorated in a significant proportion of patients but tended to recover by 30–40&emsp14;months post transplant. This could be due to pulmonary toxicity from conditioning therapy, post-transplant lung injury, or a combination of both. During the first 3&emsp14;years post-transplant, patients have an increased risk of developing pulmonary complications providing a rationale for serial PFTs. </sec>
Evaluation of the Lifetime and Effect of Furnace Thermal Cycling on Stress Rupture Behaviour of a Thermal Barrier Coated Superalloy Used in a Turbine Blade

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

AbstractThis paper highlights the trends recently observed while evaluating the lifetime of a thermal barrier coated (TBC) AE-437A Ni base superalloy mostly employed for manufacturing compressor and stationary stator blades in aero turbines from accelerated creep tests in air at 800°C. Based on accelerated stress rupture properties, the TBC specimens had superior life in terms of rupture hours compared to that of the bare substrate as severe high temperature oxidation is likely the cause of the reduced lifetime of the bare substrate while accelerated creep experiments are carried out in an oxidizing environment. The effect of furnace thermal cycling on accelerated creep properties of the TBC samples at 70 MPa and 800°C was also studied. It was observed that furnace thermal cycling (10 to 50, one hour thermal cycles) prior to creep loading, drastically reduces the rupture life of the TBCs. The life of thermal barrier coating prior to delamination and spallation is dominated by micro-cracking in both the th...

Sample path large deviations for Lévy processes and random walks with Weibull increments

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

We study sample-path large deviations for Lévy processes and random walks with heavy-tailed jump-size distributions that are of Weibull type. Our main results include an extended form of an LDP (large deviations principle) in the $J_1$ topology, and a full LDP in the $M_1'$ topology. The rate function can be represented as the solution to a quasi-variational problem. The sharpness and applicability of these results are illustrated by a counterexample proving the nonexistence of a full LDP in the $J_1$ topology, and by an application to a first passage problem.
Statistical Study of Annual and Monthly Rainfall Patterns in Ekiti State, Nigeria

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Rainfall is a determinant factors of many human and natural resources, hence the need to study the anomaly in the trends. This paper examines the recent trends in the rainfall pattern for Ekiti State for 10 years (2001-2010) using data from Ekiti State Agricultural Development Programme , Ikole Ekiti. Descriptive and Time series analyses were used to depict the tempor al distribution of rainfall. The results show that there is a significant change in the distribution and characteristics of rainfall such as occurrence and intensity in the monthly and annual rainfalls in Ekiti State. The results of the standardized anomaly, Moving Average and the linear trend show that there are fl uctuations in the annual rainfall even though the positive and the negative deviation s are evenly distributed.

Mobile visual recognition and applications

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

With the increasing popularity and usage of smart phones, people are getting increasingly dependent on their smart phones to do the work for them. This includes making use of the mobile visual search system, which has been an emerging trend in different mobile applications. Mobile visual search involves using images, rather than text, to search for information. This makes for a fast and convenient method of obtaining information related to the image scanned. This project aims to develop a mobile application making use of mobile visual search system. The name of this mobile application is “Textbook Companion”. It is targeted towards both primary and secondary school students to aid in their learning. This project involves two sides – the front end and the back end. The front end is the mobile application, where the user can take a picture of an image from their science textbook. The image will then be transmitted to the server for further processing. To match the image captured to a prebuilt database of images, the Bag-of-Words (Bow) model is used. For every image queried, SIFT descriptors are extracted and compared against local image descriptors. The highest scored images are then returned as candidates and geometric verification is used to find the best match among the candidates generated. The back end is the web application, where the administration side can manage the database of textbook images. The enhanced web application contains different functionalities like uploading to the database, updating the database and viewing the existing records in the database. Users are also able to choose between uploading/updating a single record, or multiple records. After integrating the mobile application and the web application, the “Textbook Companion” should serve as a useful mobile application with high accuracy for students to aid in their learning. At the same time, the administration side should be able to manage the database of images efficiently and conveniently.

Influence of Rare Earth Elements on the Radiation-Shielding Behavior of Serpentinite-Based Materials

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

In this study, the neutron and gamma radiation-shielding properties of serpentinites from the Guleman ophiolite complex were investigated, and results were evaluated in comparison with rare earth element (REE) content. The linear and mass attenuation coefficients (LAC and MAC), half-value layer (HVL), mean free path (MFP), and effective atomic numbers (Zeff) of serpentinite samples were experimentally measured in the energy range of 80.99–383.85 keV. Theoretical MAC values were calculated. Additionally, fast neutron removal cross-sections, as well as thermal and fast neutron macroscopic cross-sections, were theoretically determined. The absorbed equivalent dose rates of serpentinite samples were also measured. The radiation protection efficiency (RPE) for gamma rays and neutrons were determined. It was observed that the presence of rare earth elements within serpentinite structure has a significant impact on thermal neutron cross-sections, while crystalline water content (LOI) plays an influential role in fast neutron cross-sections. Moreover, it has been observed that the concentration of gadolinium exerts a more substantial influence on the macroscopic cross-sections of thermal neutrons than on those of fast neutrons. The research results reveal the mineralogical, geochemical, morphological and radiation-shielding properties of serpentinite rocks contribute significantly to new visions for the use of this naturally occurring rock as a geological repository for nuclear waste or as a wall-covering material in radiotherapy centers and nuclear facilities instead of concrete.
Exploring English Teachers’ Cognitions on the Implementation of Autonomous Learning

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This study explores English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers' comprehension of autonomous learning and their strategies for fostering it. Utilizing qualitative research methods, including open-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, data was gathered from teachers in Solo, Indonesia. The findings indicate that while teachers have a foundational understanding of autonomous learning, their practical application is still in the early stages. They recognize the significance of learner autonomy but often find it challenging to fully encourage students to learn independently. Although they express a desire to modify their teaching strategies to promote independence, they acknowledge the difficulties involved. The study underscores the necessity for further professional development to equip teachers with the knowledge and skills required to effectively promote autonomous learning in EFL classrooms. Future research should focus on strategies for supporting teachers in this area and examine the impact of autonomous learning on student outcomes.
Federal Taxes and the Radiating Potencies of State Court Decisions

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

THE process of decision in the federal courts has enabled a number of taxpayers to reduce their taxes by preventing the Commissioner of Internal Revenue from arguing in court what may be the vital issue of a case.They have accomplished this by obtaining a decision of a state court on issues of local law involved in a federal tax proceeding.Recent Supreme Court decisions have indicated that a local rule of law is what any state court has most recently said it is, although such court may be far from the top of the local judicial hierarchy.'Federal judges now apparently have no power to look into the sources of local law, once the local court has spoken.They must accept the latter's view unless some undefined "convincing evidence" shows it to be wrong.Professor Corbin, in a trenchant article, has analyzed a few of the ramifications of these decisions. 2He dwelt principally on the plight of the litigant unwillingly brought into the federal court, possibly on diversity of citizenship, and confronted with an adverse decision of a local lower court, rendered in a prior case, on the issue involved in his proceeding.The later litigant may have more at stake and may be able to retain more learned and diligent counsel than the I sing party in the earlier case who failed to appeal. 3Nevertheless, le has no chance to present his argument on the local law.t Member of the New York Bar; formerly with the Securities and Exchange C0nimission; now attorney in Tax Division of Department of justice.The opinions e.pressed in this
Functional impairments in ADHD in function of anxiety, depressive and somatic complains in Brazilian young adults

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction Comorbidities between Anxiety Disorders, Depressive Disorders or Somatic Symptoms, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can cause variability in the functional impairments faced by young adults. Knowing the possible configurations resulting from these comorbidities is important for a better understanding of the cases, diagnostic processes, and proposed treatments. Objectives To verify associations between indicators of the aforementioned mental disorders, and symptoms of inattention or hyperactivity-impulsivity, and functional impairments in different areas of life, related to ADHD. Methods There were 27 participants (23 women, age m = 22.5 sd = 1.8, education m = 15.7 sd = 2.2), with complaints of inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity compatible with ADHD, screened with ASRS-18 score> 24 and WASI IQ> 79, and assessed by DIVA-2.0 (symptoms of ADHD), ASR-ASEBA (depressive, anxiety and somatic problems), EPF-ADHD (functional impairments in the academic, professional, affective, domestic, social, health, financial, traffic areas and legal risk). Spearman’s Correlation analysis was performed in the SPSS program (significance p <0.05). Results Increase in depressive problems associated with increased symptoms of inattention (rho=0.386, p=0.049) and hyperactivity-impulsivity (rho = 0.406, p = 0.036). Increased somatic problems associated with increased functional impairment in health (rho=0.458, p=0.016). Increase in depressive problems associated with increased losses in the academic (rho=0.437, p=0.023), affective (rho=0.408, p=0.034), domestic (rho=0.550, p=0.002), social (rho=0.445, p=0.002), financial (rho=0.389, p=0.045) and health (rho=0.514, p=0.006). Conclusions ADHD with comorbidities can have a peculiar clinical evolution with specific characteristics, including diagnosis, management, and response to treatment. These subgroups with different intervention needs demand outlining needs and personalized treatment. Disclosure No significant relationships.
Enzyme Dynamics along the Reaction Coordinate:  Critical Role of a Conserved Residue

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Conformational flexibility of the enzyme architecture is essential for biological function. These structural transitions often encompass significant portions of the enzyme molecule. Here, we present a detailed study of functionally relevant RNase A dynamics in the wild type and a D121A mutant form by NMR spin-relaxation techniques. In the wild-type enzyme, the dynamic properties are largely conserved in the apo, enzyme-substrate, and enzyme-product complexes. In comparison, mutation of aspartic acid 121 to alanine disrupts the timing of active-site dynamics, the product-release step, and global conformational changes, indicating that D121 plays a significant role in coordinating the dynamic events in RNase A. In addition, this mutation results in 90% loss of catalytic activity despite the absence of direct participation of D121 in the chemical reaction or in interactions with the substrate. These data suggest that one role of this conserved residue is to facilitate important millisecond protein dynamics.
Transnuclear Mice with Pre-defined T Cell Receptor Specificities Against Toxoplasma gondii Obtained via SCNT

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Mice that are transgenic for rearranged antigen-specific T cell receptors (TCRs) are essential tools to study T cell development and function. Such TCRs are usually isolated from the relevant T cells after long-term culture, often after repeated antigen stimulation, which unavoidably skews the T cell population used. Random genomic integration of the TCR α and β chain and expression from nonendogenous promoters represent additional drawbacks of transgenics. Using epigenetic reprogramming via somatic cell nuclear transfer, we demonstrated that T cells with predefined specificities against Toxoplasma gondii can be used to generate mouse models that express the TCR from their endogenous loci, without experimentally introduced genetic modification. The relative ease and speed with which such transnuclear models can be obtained holds promise for the construction of other disease models.
Special Testimony as a Reforming Concept in the Indonesian Juvenile Criminal Justice System

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Children who have suffered from sexual violence face an increased risk of re-victimisation during judicial proceedings. A study by Hannah (2019) and Nina Papalia (2021) indicated that approximately 50% of child victims experience re-victimisation during trials, as they are required to relive their traumatic experiences. Countries like Norway and Brazil have introduced additional preventive measures to mitigate these negative effects. This normative study utilises statutory, conceptual and comparative approaches, aiming to examine the regulations governing the testimony of child victims of sexual violence in Indonesia, Norway and Brazil. Additionally, it seeks to identify positive aspects that could enhance Indonesia’s juvenile justice system. The findings suggest that Brazil’s ‘Special Testimony’ model for child testimony is more suitable for adoption in Indonesia than the ‘Nordic Model’ used in Norway. The ‘Special Testimony’ approach that could be integrated into Indonesia’s juvenile justice system includes (1) conducting investigations with electronic recording, which can be used as evidence in court; (2) having testimony examined by a psychologist or investigator trained in child psychology; (3) limiting a child’s testimony to a single occurrence during the investigation stage, unless deemed necessary by the judge; and (4) utilising technology or electronic devices during special examinations by a psychologist in a designated interview room.

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Vocabulary is one of language component and the most important thing in learning English. Less of vocabulary can make the student difficult in learning English and to express their ideas into sentences. According to Bintz (2011), states the importance of vocabulary learning, as follows:
“Vocabulary is critically important because a word is an instrument for thinking about the meanings which it expresses.”
In other words, if there is no sufficient knowledge of mastering vocabulary, someone will not be able to express his idea easily or even to communicate with others using the target language. Find the word game is focused in teaching of vocabulary and expected that find the word game can be a good method for the students in learning vocabulary.
The problem of this research is “is there any significant effect of find the word game on vocabulary mastery at eight grade students’ on MTS Al Qodiri Jember in the academic year of 2016/2017? The purpose of the research is to know whether or not there is any significant effect of find the word game on vocabulary mastery eight grade students’ of MTS Al Qodiri Jember in the academic year of 2016/2017.
