Manajemen Kanker Kolorektal

Colorectal cancer was infrequently diagnosed few decades ago, but the number of cases increased dramatically until it becomes the third most prevalent malignancy after breast and lung cancer. Population aging and on top of unhealthy lifestyle were major contributor to the significant rise of the disease. Management of colorectal cancer has markedly evolved, allowing improvement in terms of survival and advance in quality of life. Nevertheless, the rate of survival could be boosted by raising public awareness over colorectal cancer, education program that may lead to better health behaviour, as well as health system policy that support disesase screening, considering the characteristic of the disease that is often asymptomatic, particularly in the early development.

DETERMINATION OF MEASLES VIRUS‐SPECIFIC NUCLEOCAPSID ANTIBODIES BY MEANS OF COUNTERIMMUNOELECTROPHORESIS

A counterimmunoelectrophoretic method for quantitative determination of antibodies against measles virus nucleocapsid is described. Unfractionated material from measles virus infected cell cultures was used as antigen, diluted to give only a nucleocapsid‐specific precipitate. Purified nucleocapsid and a rabbit hyperimmune serum against this antigen was used to establish the specificity of the test. The measles virus specific antibody titres determined by the method were comparable to those found in nucleocapsid complement fixation tests. It is concluded that the technique described offers a simple and sensitive method to determine nucleocapsidspecific antibodies

Toward the Conceptual Model of Continuous Improvement Teamworking

This chapter develops and underlines the concept of continuous improvement teamworking approach in a major banking organization. It is not a complete explanation of the continuous improvement teamworking approach but rather an illustration of the emergence of a new form and type of teamwork approach especially with banking organization becoming virtual organization and more competitive. With virtual meetings and interactive electronic communication, people at work above their normal face-to-face teamworking activities are having meetings, communication and sharing of information through a modernized continuous improvement teamwork approach with or without necessarily being in the immediate place of work but physically apart working across space, time, and organizational offices linked with Webs of digital collaborative communication technologies. The continuous improvement teamworking model is developed by the researcher using a deductive reasoning approach with 15 years of practical experience working with teams in a continuous improvement and change environment coupled with phenomenological methodology of ethnography (moderate participant observation as the method of collecting data) in the retail banking sector. This study has been done for nearly nine months, which represents about 190 hours spent in the major Australian retail bank. The model is a virtuous CTIO circle, which reflects the concern (issue)—task (action)—interaction (involvement and connection)—outcome (result) phases. It illustrates the new evolving consultative, participative, and interactive virtuous teamworking approach. The finding from the participant observation study has shown that synchronous conferencing, internet online functional services, continuous improvement, and team meetings form the essential four core elements of the CTIO model. The adoption of a continuous improvement teamworking approach is assisting in better running of retail banking operational activities and in achieving better performance. This chapter is important to senior managers and managers in improving the operational activities of their businesses to be more competitive.

Sensation, Incentive Learning, and the Motivational Control of Goal-Directed Action

Recent analyses of goal-directed action have not only pointed to the importance of the learning processes through which actions and their consequences are encoded, but have also emphasized the performance factors that influence choice between actions and action initiation more generally (Dickinson and Balleine 2002; Hasselmo 2005; Balleine and Ostlund 2007). It is important to understand why this is the case. Although the value of acting—or not acting—can often appear to be obvious enough from an adaptive perspective, in fact the information that can be derived from the action-outcome association is not sufficient to determine a course of action; knowing that an action results in a particular outcome does not entail whether that action should be performed or not. Although it might appear adaptive to perform food-related actions more frequently when food deprived and less frequently when replete, this need not necessarily occur and often doesn’t, something well documented in cases of eating disorders (Davis et al. 2004; Morrison and Berthoud 2007). In fact, what determines whether a specific action will be both selected and subsequently initiated is not just the identity but also the evaluation of the outcome associated with the selected action.In order to decide on a course of action, therefore, both the consequences and the value of the consequences of various alternative actions need to be specified. Therefore, establishing the determinants of a course of action, whether in psychological or neural terms, requires an account of (i) the learning processes through which action-outcome associations are encoded and (ii) the motivational and emotional processes that establish the value of the consequences or outcomes of actions. In this chapter both of these processes will be described further although, because there have been a number of recent reviews of the learning processes underlying goal-directed action (Balleine, Delgado, and Hikosaka 2007; Balleine, Liljeholm, and Ostlund 2009; Balleine and Ostlund 2007; Yin, Ostlund, and Balleine 2008; Balleine and O’Doherty 2010), I will mainly focus on evidence relating to the behavioral and neural bases of incentive learning, i.e., the process by which we and other animals assign value to the consequences or goals of goal-directed actions. To provide the basis for the presentation of current research on this issue I will focus first on evaluative conditioning, which constitutes the motivational basis of affective processes generally, and then turn to animal models of goal-directed action to describe how this basic evaluative process is elaborated into an incentive learning process in the service of this capacity. I will then take up the issue of the neural bases of incentive learning and describe some recent research on this issue in the final section.

Genetic improvement of Egyptian cotton (Gossypium barbadense L.) for high yield and fiber quality properties under semi arid conditions

Between 2016 and 2018, the Agriculture Research Center's Sakha Agriculture Research Station conducted two rounds of pedigree selection on a segregating population of cotton (Gossypium barbadense L.) using the F2, F3, and F4 generations resulting from crossing Giza 94 and Suvin. In 2016, the top 5% of plants from the F2 population were selected based on specific criteria. The superior families from the F3 generation were then selected to produce the F4 families in 2017, which were grown in the 2018 summer season in single plant progeny rows and bulk experiments with a randomized complete block design of three replications. Over time, most traits showed increased mean values in the population, with the F2 generation having higher Genotypic Coefficient of Variance (GCV) and Phenotypic Coefficient of Variance (PCV) values compared to the succeeding generations for the studied traits. The magnitude of GCV and PCV in the F3 and F4 generations was similar, indicating that genotype had played a greater role than the environment. Moreover, the mean values of heritability in the broad sense increased from generation to generation. Selection criteria I2, I4, and I5 were effective in improving most of the yield and its component traits, while selection criterion I1 was efficient in improving earliness traits. Most of the yield and its component traits showed a positive and significant correlation with each other, highlighting their importance in cotton yield. This suggests that selecting to improveone or more of these traits would improve the others. Families number 9, 13, 19, 20, and 21 were the best genotypes for relevant yield characters, surpassing the better parent, check variety, and giving the best values for most characters. Therefore, the breeder could continue to use these families in further generations as breeding genotypes to develop varieties with high yields and its components.

Optimal Stabilizing Controller for the Region of Weak Attraction under the Influence of Disturbances

This paper considers an optimal stabilization problem of quantitative discrete event systems (DESs) under the influence of disturbances.We model a DES by a deterministic weighted automaton.The control cost is concerned with the sum of the weights along the generated trajectories reaching the target state.The region of weak attraction is the set of states of the system such that all trajectories starting from them can be controlled to reach a specified set of target states and stay there indefinitely.An optimal stabilizing controller is a controller that drives the states in this region to the set of target states with minimum control cost and keeps them there.We consider two control objectives: to minimize the worst-case control cost (1) subject to all enabled trajectories and (2) subject to the enabled trajectories starting by controllable events.Moreover, we consider the disturbances which are uncontrollable events that rarely occur in the real system but may degrade the control performance when they occur.We propose a linearithmic time algorithm for the synthesis of an optimal stabilizing controller which is robust to disturbances.

A Novel Powered Nasal Irrigation After Endoscopic Sinus Surgery in Patients With Chronic Rhinosinusitis: A Preliminary Study

Background and Objectives We aimed to compare the efficacy of a novel powered irrigation system with that of the manual bottle-squeeze method for postoperative healing after endoscopic sinonasal surgery (ESS).Subjects and Method In this prospective randomized clinical trial, 29 patients were enrolled for nasal irrigation (NI) with either NOSSHA® (Womens Care Co., Ltd.) powered irrigation system (NOSSHA® group, n=14) or manual irrigation (control group, n=15). Objective findings were evaluated using the modified Lund-Kennedy scores. Subjective outcomes were assessed using the total nasal endoscopic score (TNES), total nasal symptom score (TNSS), visual analog scale (VAS), and quality of life (QOL) questionnaires in each group at baseline, and 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks after ESS. We compared the postoperative changes between both groups.Results The mean TNES of patients were significantly higher in the NOSSHA® group than in the control group (p=0.015); however, the improvement in TNES was achieved 2 weeks earlier in the NOSSHA® group. The improvement in TNES (p&lt;0.001) and TNSS (p&lt;0.001) was statistically significant in both groups. The improvement in QOL was statistically significant in the NOSSHA® (p&lt;0.001) and control group (p=0.007). The improvement in the TNSS and QOL was earlier in the NOSSHA® group by 4 and 7 weeks, respectively; no early improvement occurred in the NOSSHA® group for the VAS score.Conclusion We validated the usefulness of postoperative NI using a powered device, which may be useful for patients who cannot tolerate manual NI.

The Unity of the Manifest and Scientific Image by Self-Representation

Sellars (1963) distinguished in Empiricism and Philosophy of Mind between ordinary discourse, which expressed his “manifest image”, and scientific discourse, which articulated his “scientific image” of man-in-the-world in a way that is both central and problematic to the rest of his philosophy. Our contention is that the problematic feature of the distinction results from Sellars theory of inner episodes as theoretical entities. On the other hand, as Sellars attempted to account for our noninferential knowledge of such states, particularly in correspondence with Castañeda, discussed by Lehrer and Stern (2000), he is lead to account of representation of such states that incorporates the states into what Lehrer has called exemplar representation (2004, 2011a) and Ismael reflexive self-description (2007). What is common to the three accounts, with some differences, is that such states may be function reflexively in selfrepresentation. Our argument is that the elaboration of this account, suggested in Sellars, shows how the discourse of the manifest image can be transformed into the discourse of the scientific image as self-representations of scientific entities.

A Laurentian provenance for the Dalradian rocks of north Mayo, Ireland, and evidence for an original basement–cover contact with the underlying Annagh Gneiss Complex

Abstract: Metasediments of the early Dalradian Grampian Group (Erris Group) and probable equivalents (Inishkea Division) structurally overlie Palaeoproterozoic to Neoproterozoic Annagh Gneiss Complex orthogneisses in NW Mayo, Ireland. Sm–Nd isotopic data suggest a Palaeoproterozoic source for the metasediments. K-feldspar and granitoid clasts from the Doonamo Formation, Erris Group, record U–Pb zircon ages of c . 1740 Ma and c . 980 Ma, respectively. These ages are within error of the c . 1730–1750 Ma Mullet gneisses and c . 990 Ma Grenvillian migmatitic leucosomes in the underlying Annagh Gneiss Complex. U–Pb detrital zircon data reveal that the Erris Group was deposited after c . 955 Ma, with predominant input from c . 1640, c . 1500 and c . 990 Ma interpreted Laurentian sources (Labradorian, Pinwarian and Grenvillian terranes, respectively). Limited detrital zircon data from the Inishkea Division yield similarly aged detritus and a tentative maximum depositional age of c . 1005 Ma. Correlation of both sequences with the Scottish Dalradian Grampian Group is considered valid based on detrital zircon U–Pb and whole-rock Sm–Nd data. The clast ages support the hypothesis that the Dalradian unconformably overlies the Annagh Gneiss Complex in north Mayo, whereas the detrital zircon data imply more distal Laurentian sources. Dalradian deposition is thereby tied to the margins of Laurentia. Supplementary material: U–Pb zircon (secondary ion mass spectrometry) data and descriptions of dated zircon grains are available at http://www.geolsoc.org.uk/SUP18414 .

Gender, Class, and Human/Non-Human Fluidity in Théodore and Hippolyte Cogniards’ <i>féerie</i>, <i>The White Cat</i>

Abstract The Frères Cogniard produced immensely popular vaudeville féeries in the nineteenth century and among them most popular was The White Cat (1852), which grafts two tales together by Marie-Catherine d’Aulnoy: “The White Cat” and “Belle-Belle, or the chevalier Fortuné.” The féerie foregrounds gender, class, human/thing, and species fluidity, which undermines hierarchies supported by dichotomies that in very similar ways privilege men over women, the upperclass over lowerclass, persons over things, and human animals over non-human animals. The essay traces these different forms of fluidity, examining the role of marvelous in general and metamorphosis in particular in problematizing normative structures of identity and revealing their arbitrary nature.

Clinical significance of <i>Proteus mirabilis</i> bacteriuria in dogs, risk factors and antimicrobial susceptibility.

The objectives of this study were to describe the <i>in vitro</i> antimicrobial susceptibility and clinical significance of <i>Proteus mirabilis</i> in canine bacteriuria and to identify the risk factors associated with <i>P. mirabilis</i> urinary tract infections. This is a retrospective observational study of 48 <i>P. mirabilis</i>-positive canine urinary cultures. Only 22 of the 48 <i>P. mirabilis</i> isolates (45.8%) were non-susceptible to at least one tested antimicrobial. Most <i>P. mirabilis</i> isolates (98%) were susceptible to enrofloxacin, 93.7% to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, and 85.4% to ampicillin, cephalothin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Five multidrug-resistant isolates were detected (10.4%). A significant increase in antimicrobial resistance was observed over the study period. Positive <i>P. mirabilis</i> cultures were associated with bacterial cystitis in 36 of 39 dogs (92.3%), pyelonephritis in 2 of 39 dogs (5.1%), and one dog had both bacterial cystitis and pyelonephritis (2.5%). There was no subclinical bacteriuria. Most urinary tract infections were complicated as risk factors were identified in 37 of 39 dogs (94.8%). The most commonly identified risk factors were the presence of a contaminated peri-vulvar area with urine/feces or a hypoplastic vulva. To conclude, <i>P. mirabilis</i> bacteriuria was associated with upper and lower urinary tract infections in this study and was found more frequently in complicated bacterial cystitis. Multidrug-resistant isolates and increased <i>P. mirabilis</i> antimicrobial resistance have been identified over the last 10 years, but most isolates remain susceptible to first-line antimicrobials such as amoxicillin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.

ADDITIONAL ELEMENTS OF ALPHABETICAL THINKING IN PSALM XXXIV

Abstract This article develops a suggestion by A. Ceresko (VT 35 [1985], pp. 99-104) and finds that Ps. xxxiv may contain six alphabetizing sequences: 1) an abbreviated alphabetic acrostic with no 2) an overriding array made from the initial letters of the first and middle lines of the acrostic and the last line of the psalm; 3) an initial verse with an array 4) a twenty-two verse reversed partial alphabetic mezostic; 5) a twenty-one verse reversed telestic; 6) a final verse with an inverted array. Analogy of cuneiform acrostics and tablets decorated with wreaths of wedges suggests that Ps. xxxiv's acrostic and telestic uses of the alphabet and the letter may signify God, to whom the texts are addressed, and/or the author scribe himself.
