Title: Treatment of Primary Hyperparathyroidism with Ethanol Ablation Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism is commonly managed via parathyroidectomy. Non-surgical management includes bisphosphonates and cinacalcet. For patients who have failed medical management and are not surgical candidates, alternative therapies such as radiofrequency ablation and ethanol ablation are being evaluated. Clinical Case: An 85-year-old male with hypercalcemia due to primary hyperparathyroidism, stage 4 chronic kidney disease, pulmonary arterial hypertension, congestive heart failure, cirrhosis, nephrolithiasis, and urothelial carcinoma status post left nephrectomy in 2013 was admitted with fatigue, falls, insomnia, and constipation suspected to be due to hypercalcemia. Eleven months prior to admission, he was evaluated by endocrine surgery and was deemed a poor candidate for parathyroidectomy due to his multiple comorbidities. He was started on cinacalcet 30 mg daily four months prior to admission, which was gradually titrated to 90 mg twice daily. On admission, serum calcium was 12.2 mg/dL (8.6-10.3 mg/dL), albumin 3.3 g/dL (3.5-4.9 g/dL), phosphorus 2.0 mg/dL (2.7-4.6 mg/dL), 25-hydroxy vitamin D 54 ng/mL (25-100 ng/mL), and PTH 419 pg/mL (10-65 pg/mL). Due to his heart failure, IV fluid was cautiously administered and cinacalcet was increased to 90 mg three times daily. His corrected calcium decreased to 11.5 mg/dL. CT neck with and without contrast demonstrated a 1.9 cm lesion posterior to the right thyroid lobe. Parathyroid sestamibi scan demonstrated increased focal radiotracer uptake in the right tracheoesophageal groove consistent with parathyroid adenoma. Due to the size of the parathyroid adenoma, recurrent hospitalization for hypercalcemia, and degree of hypercalcemia at presentation, he underwent ethanol ablation of the parathyroid adenoma. Post ablation, cinacalcet was reduced to 90 mg twice daily. His serum calcium decreased to 9.9 mg/dL eleven days after ablation. Clinical lessons: In patients who are symptomatic, have failed medical management, and are not surgical candidates, ethanol ablation can be considered as a therapeutic option for primary hyperparathyroidism.

Wounded by Memory: Art, Glory, and the Fantasy of Revanche

In this thesis, I examine the imbrication of memory, masculinity, and glory in the cultural politics of revanche. I argue that revanche functioned not only as a desire to restore the annexed provinces of Alsace and Lorraine to France, but also as a cultural fantasy that reproduced and masked the antagonism between a glorious French past and resounding defeat in 1871, variously described as a wound or mutilation. The visual, I maintain, played a constitutive role in the construction of fantasy, as it bandaged as well as effaced the wound of defeat to reassert French glory. In paintings, posters, processions, films, and monuments, representations of dying soldiers and the war dead reveal how the fantasy of revanche changed between its emergence in 1871 and its abatement in post-World War I France. Across these media, invocations of the dead transitioned from calls to remember, to act, and finally, to forget.

Women and Democracy in Cold War Japan

Women and Democracy in Cold War Japan offers a fresh perspective on gender politics by focusing on the Japanese housewife of the 1950s as a controversial representation of democracy, leisure, and domesticity. Examining the shifting personae of the housewife, especially in the appealing texts of women’s magazines, reveals the diverse possibilities of postwar democracy as they were embedded in media directed toward Japanese women. Each chapter explores the contours of a single controversy, including debate over the royal wedding in 1959, the victory of Japan’s first Miss Universe, and the unruly desires of postwar women. Jan Bardsley also takes a comparative look at the ways in which the Japanese housewife is measured against equally stereotyped notions of the modern housewife in the United States, asking how both function as narratives of Japan-U.S. relations and gender/class containment during the early Cold War.

UTILIZATION OF JKN DENTAL PROSTHETIC SERVICES AT FIRST LEVEL DENTAL HEALTH FACILITIES IN BALI

Background: The utilization of dental prosthesis services in Indonesia is rare, compared to other dental and oral health services. The use of prosthesis services in Bali is still relatively low compared to other parts of Western Indonesia. Based on data from BPJS Kesehatan Denpasar Branch Office, the demand for dental prostheses services by participants in the three working areas of BPJS Kesehatan Denpasar Branch Office is still low. Method: This research was conducted using quantitative research. The population were all participants providers of FKTP BPJS Kesehatan Badung Regency, and samples were taken through purposive sampling. Quantitative data were analyzed using binary logistic regression. Result: The results that the predisposing factors for JKN program participants (income, knowledge of dental prostheses, knowledge of JKN dental prosthesis services, perceptions of service quality, and perceptions of cost); enabling factor (access), and the need factor (the perception of pain when losing a tooth) contributions have a significant positive effect on the utilization rate of JKN dental prostheses. The predisposing factors (age and education) and enabling factor (social support) do not have a significant effect on the utilization rate of JKN dental prostheses. Conclusion: The results that the predisposing factors for JKN program participants contributions have a significant positive effect on the utilization rate of JKN dental prostheses.

Exploring the intention‐behavior gap in the technology acceptance model: A mixed‐methods study in the context of foreign‐language teaching in China

Abstract This study explored the strength and mechanisms of the intention‐use link in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), based on data from a sample of 198 in‐service college‐level foreign‐language teachers in China. Its sequential explanatory research design involved, firstly, a quantitative approach to examine the structural relations among the TAM's variables, using path analysis on survey data; and secondly, qualitative interviews with a purposive sub‐sample of 16 of the same teachers, aimed at identifying potential influences on the intention‐behavior gap in their student‐centered technology use. Analysis of the quantitative data indicated a significant relationship between the teachers' intention to use technology and their teacher‐centered technology use of technology, but a non‐significant relationship between intention to use technology and their student‐centered technology use . The qualitative data revealed that facilitating conditions, prior experience with technology and technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) were the main obstacles to the interviewees' student‐centered technology use. Other factors also played a role in educators' intention‐use gaps, including habit, beliefs in students, Chinese teaching culture and assessment pressure. Practitioner Notes What is already known about this topic TAM has been supported by a multitude of studies. Previous findings on intention‐behavior linkage in TAM are inconclusive. Foreign language teachers' student‐centered technology use is limited. What this paper adds It conceptualizes two levels of technology use behavior using TAM as framework. It identifies an intention‐behavior gap in student‐centered technology use. It explores external and internal constraints to student‐centered technology use. Implications for practice and/or policy Educational institutions need to facilitate teachers' student‐centered technology use. Consistent training on integrating student‐centered technology use with teaching content are in need.

Epstein‐Barr virus suspension cell assay using in situ hybridization and flow cytometry

We have developed a procedure for quantitative assay of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-infected cells in suspension in either latent or replicative phase using in situ hybridization and flow cytometry. The cells were hybridized with EBV-specific digoxigenin or biotin-labeled oligonucleotide probes, followed by binding to fluorescein-conjugated anti-digoxigenin or phycoerythrin-conjugated streptavidin, respectively. The cells hybridizing to the specific probes were quantitated by flow cytometry. A strong shift in fluorescence intensity (20-fold) was observed when the EBV-positive culture cells were hybridized with a specific EBER1 antisense probe. The sensitivity of the assay was at least one positive cell out of 9,000 beyond the normal control mean ±2 S.D. We performed two-color in situ hybridization/flow cytometry using probes to an EBV replication phase-specific mRNA and EBER1 on B95-8 cells in which a small portion (2–4%) of cells induce spontaneously into the replicative phase. In addition, we have developed a method for simultaneous analysis of the cell surface phenotype and EBV nucleic acid content in individual cells. Cytometry 29:50–57, 1997. ©1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Design of soil moisture control prototypes for plant cultivation

Soil moisture is one of the important parameters for the process of hydrology, biology and biogeochemistry. In the cultivation of plants, it is necessary to control soil moisture to get good crop yields. In this study we designed a system of automatic soil moisture control for the purposes of crop cultivation. The system works by watering automatically when the soil moisture for the plant decreases. The system is designed using an STM32 microcontroller and humidity sensor to check soil moisture. STM 32 microcontroller will process the information that is delivered by sensor by giving a limitation range on a certain value between <; 3000 and >3000. If the sensor reads is <; 3000 then STM 32 sends the signal to the servomotor which then servomotor will move to 0° position and if the result is >3000 then STM 32 will send a signal to the servomotor to move to 180 ° position. From the test results it is proven that the system can work well automatically with a success rate of around 90%.

Flexible, Eco-Friendly and Profitable Car Sharing Contracts: An Investigation into consumers’ behavior

Recently car sharing companies have grown across the United States. Members of these companies, when faced upon the decision on the amount of time to rent a car for, do not always make rational decisions. This behavior negatively affects both the customers and the company as if customers reserve a car for the wrong amount of time, they might either return it early and pay for extra time that they do not need, or they might return it late and incur a penalty fee. When this happens, the company needs to find a way to satisfy other customers’ that might have been displaced. This research paper therefore aims at analyzing customers’ behaviors and understanding which variables affect customers’ decisions when reserving a car. Through a random effects logistic regression analysis, data was analyzed to understand which variables influence a late return. Results showed that the two variables playing the most critical roles in the percent change of late returns are the time of the day and whether or not a customer had to pay a penalty on their previous rental.

The Linguistic and Cultural Interpretation of Dissonant Heritage: the ATRIUM Cultural Route

The European Cultural Route ATRIUM (Architecture of Totalitarian Regimes in Europe's Urban Memory) deals with dissonant heritage, referring to a contrast of meaning and value systems between the past and the present. The route will be examined within the framework of a set of communication strategies for cultural routes. This short paper will look at some linguistic aspects related to the ATRIUM route and its ‘dissonant heritage’. By analysing some examples of existing promotional approaches related to this particular heritage, it will outline some considerations for a communicative strategy appropriate to the overall narrative structure of the ATRIUM cultural route, with special regard to a bottom-up constructivist approach.

Conceptual design of mechanisms using kinematic building blocks: A computational approach.

Although numerous ingenious mechanisms have been designed and built, the fundamental task of conceptualizing these devices is still a mixture of art and science. Sophisticated computational tools for kinematic and dynamic analysis of mechanisms have been developed. However, there is a lack of computational methods for generalized synthesis to achieve fully automated design capability. The matrix methodology presented in this dissertation forms the basis for a computable approach to conceptual design of mechanisms. This representation scheme was originally proposed by Kota (Kota 90) and has been extended to represent building blocks at different levels of abstraction. In this methodology, the continuous design space of a mechanism's domain is discretized into functional subspaces, and each subspace is uniquely represented by a conceptual building block. In the higher level of abstraction, each building block is represented by a motion transformation matrix and an operational constraint vector. In the lower level of abstraction, each building block is represented by a parametric matrix and a motion equation. The design task (desired behaviors) is represented by a motion transformation matrix and an operational constraint vector. By manipulating the matrices and vectors, the given task can be decomposed into subfunctions which is a series of building blocks. With the help of the lower level representation, a qualitative simulation of the motion of the synthesized mechanisms can be performed. The matrix scheme serves as a formal means to perform these tasks, as follows: (a) represent and reason with the building blocks at different levels of abstraction, (b) generate alternate conceptual design configurations, and (c) facilitate rapid simulation of design concepts by readily connecting a series of building blocks. The synthesis methodology based on this representation scheme has been successfully implemented in a computer program. This program (Conceptual Design and Qualitative Simulation of Mechanisms) takes as input the user supplied specification of input/output motion requirements and constraints, and generates and simulates various conceptual design solutions.
