A Cadaveric Investigation of the Dorsal Scapular Nerve

Compression of the dorsal scapular nerve (DSN) is associated with pain in the upper extremity and back. Even though entrapment of the DSN within the middle scalene muscle is typically the primary cause of pain, it is still easily missed during diagnosis. The purpose of this study was to document the DSN’s anatomy and measure the oblique course it takes with regard to the middle scalene muscle. From 20 embalmed adult cadavers, 23 DSNs were documented regarding the nerve’s spinal root origin, anatomical route, and muscular innervations. A transverse plane through the laryngeal prominence was established to measure the distance of the DSN from this plane as it enters, crosses, and exits the middle scalene muscle. Approximately 70% of the DSNs originated from C5, with 74% piercing the middle scalene muscle. About 48% of the DSNs supplied the levator scapulae muscle only and 52% innervated both the levator scapulae and rhomboid muscles. The average distances from a transverse plane at the laryngeal prominence where the DSN entered, crossed, and exited the middle scalene muscle were 1.50 cm, 1.79 cm, and 2.08 cm, respectively. Our goal is to help improve clinicians’ ability to locate the site of DSN entrapment so that appropriate management can be implemented.

The Effect of Non Performing Loans, Third Party Funds, and Loan to Deposit Ratio on Credit Distribution

One of the financial institutions that has been growing rapidly in supporting financing for small and medium enterprises is the Rural Bank. Based on Law Number 10 of 1998, a Rural Bank is a bank that conducts its business activities either conventionally or based on sharia principles. This study aims to analyze the effect of NPL, TPF, and LDR on credit distribution, both partially and simultaneously, in Rural Banks in Bogor Regency during the period 2018–2022. Additionally, this study seeks to measure the extent to which these three variables contribute to credit distribution. The method used in this study is a quantitative approach with a causal research design. The dependent variable in this study is credit distribution, while the independent variables include NPL, TPF, and LDR. The study population consists of 22 Rural Banks operating in Bogor Regency, with the sample selected using a purposive sampling technique. The sample comprises Rural Banks registered with the Financial Services Authority (Otoritas Jasa Keuangan/OJK) that meet the research criteria. Based on the analysis of the coefficient of determination (R-Square), a value of 0.887 was obtained. This indicates that TPF, NPL, and LDR collectively contributed 88.7% to credit distribution in Rural Banks in Bogor Regency during the 2018–2022 period.

Polynomial evaluation on data-flow computers

In this master thesis we implemented algorithms for polynomial evaluation on data-flow architecture. Polynomial evaluation is relatively simple problem for today's central processing units. However with an increasing number of points in which we evaluate polynomial, time of evaluation can become a problem. We implemented algorithms for evaluation of sparse and dense polynomials on Maxeler data-flow computers. We tested our algorithms on real polynomials as well as on complex polynomials. We have achieved up to 20-fold speedup for dense and up to 70-fold speedup for sparse polynomials. Additionally, we customised our algorithms for evaluation of subproblem of point clustering and also for evaluation of Discrete Fourier transform. We analysed our results and presented them graphically.

What is the lived experience of growing up in an adopted family?

Research in the field of adoption typically looks at risk factors and statistical outcomes for adoptees and their families while relatively little research has examined the lived experience from the perspective of the adopted person. The primary purpose of this study was to elicit a “story” from the perspective of participants about their experiences of growing up with the knowledge that they are adopted, and examine qualitatively how their life unfolds, and what it means for them. Six participants were interviewed in an open format interview using each participant’s pre-prepared timeline as a guide for the interview. Interviews were audio recorded and subsequently transcribed. The narratives created were analyzed using the theoretical framework of descriptive phenomenology. From a content analysis, seven major and interrelated themes emerged: (1) Uniqueness – a felt sense of a qualitative difference from non-adoptees; (2) Connection – to others who share the experience of being adopted; (3) Vulnerability – to the possible content of the information they may come across if / when actualizing their curiosities; (4) Incompleteness – a feeling that there is missing information about their lives; (5) Acute or hyper awareness to similarities and differences with family members – the desire to share a genetic background or to look like someone; (6) Gratitude to / compassion for biological and adopted families; (7) Curiosity – about ones origins. These themes, in light of the current literature, identify that while there may be a formula, as in the set of common themes, it is not necessarily a formula for traumatic loss, rather an opportunity to help identify issues adoptees may need to work on through natural evolution or clinical work. Future studies will be important in adding validity to the themes identified as well as identifying individual variables that may be important when considering their experiences of growing up in adopted families.

Fall and Redemption

Derek Walcott's play Dream on Monkey Mountain (1967) interrogates the complexities of postcolonialism in the Caribbean. The Caribbean subject is saddled with the burden of rootlessness, planted in a foreign land that he has to perforce call "home." He finds himself in a multiracial and multicultural society that is alien to him that fractures his self, and consequently he questions his own identity. He is beset with amnesia about the glories of his native roots that he can go back to only imaginarily. His predicament is the direct fallout of colonial oppression. Walcott writes about the Caribbean postcolonial predicament in which people struggle with the history of forced uprooting, slavery, internalisation of the sense of inferiority, and the angst of "Europeanisation." This chapter sees Walcott's play as a literary text that writes about the dispossession of the colonised people and how, by reclaiming the cultural treasures of the dispossessed, the black man reclaims his identity. Thus, this chapter sees the "dream" as a metaphor of the amelioration of the "terrors" of colonialism leading to the redemptive Caribbean self.

Courts, Merchants and Commodities

The political and geographical peculiarities of the medieval Deccan meant that trade, together with military and revenue-collection duties, formed a crucial component of both the financial resources and the administrative responsibilities of the courtly elite. In this chapter, through an examination of the biographies of three individuals who combined trade and statecraft, and an analysis of the mercantile language in the cultural products of the Deccani courts, I discuss how these strikingly mercantile aspects of courtly society demonstrate that as an ethic, courtliness had both a practical, mundane aspect as well as an internal, spiritual aspect.

“Peer effects” in capital structure decision of Chinese firms-empirical investigation based on Chinese a-share listed firms

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to identify if peer firms’ capital structure decision plays a role in determining focal firms’ capital structure decision, despite the fact that correlated effects can also lead to co-movement of financing behavior among firms from the same industry (i.e. industry-specific capital structure). Design/methodology/approach - Instead of using relative measurement (of individual outcome variable over industry variable) as in previous work, this paper borrows the linear-in-means model and, after controlling for potential endogeneity problems, directly identifies the existence of peer effects with coefficient estimation. To deal with correlated effects, additional empirical investigations such as test of heterogeneity in direction and scale, social multiplier identification test and instrumental regression test based on another instrumental variable (that is less influenced by correlated effects) are performed. Findings - Using data from Chinese listed firms, this paper, for the first time, identifies the presence of peer effects in capital structure and debt maturity decision. Further investigations show that first, focal firms react asymmetrically to peer firms’ debt adjustment of different direction and scale. Second, social multiplier, a unique attribute of peer effects, is identified in the leverage choices. Third, the significant correlation of capital structure decision remains even if we use another “correlated effects-immune” instrument. All these results point to the fact that peer effects, rather than correlated effects, play a significant role in determining capital structure. Practical implications - The empirical results of this paper provide strong evidence that firms, driven by motivations such as either learning or competition, will actively react to peers’ financial decisions. As the bridge between individual firms and the industry, social multiplier can be fully taken advantage of to induce positive spillover of good management practices and prohibit inefficient decisions from spreading. Originality/value - This paper theoretically and empirically introduces peer effects – a well-acknowledged social concept – into capital structure decision of Chinese listed firms, thus both complementing the traditional capital structure theory and providing an empirical paradigm for peer effects research.

Faculty Opinions recommendation of Protection Against Marburg Virus Using a Recombinant VSV-Vaccine Depends on T and B Cell Activation.

Marburg virus (MARV) is the causative agent of hemorrhagic fever outbreaks with high case fatality rates.Closely related to Ebola virus, MARV is a filamentous virus with a negative-sense, single-stranded RNA genome.Although extensive studies on filovirus countermeasures have been conducted, there are no licensed treatments against MARV infections.An experimental vaccine based on the recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) expressing the MARV-Musoke glycoprotein demonstrated complete protection when a single dose was administered 28 days and up to 14 months prior to MARV challenge.Here, we analyzed the protective efficacy of an updated vaccine expressing the MARV-Angola glycoprotein (VSV-MARV).A single dose of VSV-MARV given 5 weeks before challenge provided uniform protection with no detectable viremia.The vaccine induced B and T cell proliferation and, importantly, antigen-specific IgG production.Transcriptomic signatures confirm these findings and suggest innate immunity engendered by VSV-MARV may direct the development of protective humoral immunity.

Efficient Scalable Multi-Level Classification Scheme for Credit Card Fraud Detection

The detection of fraudulent transactions in credit card world is an important application of classification techniques. As human behavior is unpredictable classifying any transaction either as fraud or non-fraud is not acceptable. In all of the previous studies, the transactions were classified in only two levels either fraud or legitimate. An approach where the credit card transactions can be classified in various fraud levels depending on different fraudulent situations mined from the historical behavior of the customers is proposed and implemented. To perform the classification, Efficient Scalable Multilevel Classifier (ESMC) algorithm is developed. Our algorithm is scalable to large dataset and results shows better accuracy than the previous algorithm implemented for credit card fraud detection. The concept of multi-dimensional decision tree is introduced to have better scalability in the field of distributed databases.

Near-infrared photometry of Galactic planetary nebulae with the VVV Survey

Planetary nebulae (PNe) are powerful tracers of evolved stellar populations. Among the 3000 known PNe in the Galaxy, about 600 are located within the 520 square-degree area covered by the VVV survey. The VVV photometric catalogue provides an important new dataset for the study of PNe, with high-resolution imaging in five near-infrared bands. Aperture photometry of known PNe in the VVV area was retrieved from source catalogues. Care was taken to minimise any confusion with field stars. The colours of the PNe we are determined for H-Ks, J-H, Z-Y, and Y-J, and compared to stars and to other types of emission line objects. Cloudy photo-ionisation models were used to predict colours for typical PNe. We present near-infrared photometry for 353 known PNe. The best separation from other objects is obtained in the H-Ks vs. J-H diagram. We calculated the emission-line contribution to the in-band flux based on a model for NGC 6720: we find that this is highest in the Z and Y bands at over 50%, lower in the J band at 40%, and lowest in the H and Ks bands at 20%. A new view of PNe in the wavelength domain of the Z and Y bands is shown. Photo-ionisation models are used to explore the observed colours in these bands. The Y band is shown to be dominated by HeI 1.083 mu and HeII 1.012 mu, and colours involving this band are very sensitive to the temperature of the ionizing star. The VVV survey represents a unique dataset for studing crowded and obscured regions in the Galactic plane. The diagnostic diagrams presented here allow one to study the properties of known PNe and to uncover objects not previously classified.

The Use of Integrative Approaches in Lesson Planning in Mathematics

This study determined the integrative approaches used in the Daily Lesson Plans (DLPs) in Mathematics. Specifically, it answered the following sub- problems: 1. What are the integrative approaches used in the Daily Lesson Plans (DLPs) in Mathematics? 2. What is the level of usage of the integrative approaches along: activity, analysis, application, abstraction, and assignment? 3. Is there a significant difference on the level of usage of the integrative approaches between the Junior High School and Senior High School along the different parts of the lesson plan? 4. What are the problems encountered by the teachers on the use of integrative approaches? and 5. What lesson exemplar as model on the use of integrative approaches may be developed? The researcher employed the survey-comparative type of research. The integrative approaches used in the Daily Lesson Plans (DLPs) in Mathematics were identified and the level of usage to the different parts of the lesson. The hypothesis that there is no significant difference on the level of usage of the integrative approaches between the Junior High School and Senior High School along the different parts of the lesson plan were also tested. Likewise, the problems encountered by the teachers on the use of the integrative approaches determined and lesson exemplar was developed as model on the use of integrative approaches. The study has a total of 126 respondents but only 118 responses were retrieved or 94 percent retrieval rate. The data on the integrative approaches used in the Daily Lesson Plans (DLPs) in Mathematics was treated using frequency count and percentage. However, on the level of usage of the approaches in the lesson, frequency count and weighted mean were used. Frequency count and ranking were utilized to identify the problems encountered by the teachers.

Migration and Emission Characteristics of Trace Elements in a 660 MW Coal-Fired Power Plant of China

Trace elements (TEs) emitted from coal-fired power plants have caused widespread concern. The onsite investigation of TEs emission from a Chinese 660 MW pulverized coal (PC) boiler equipped with selective catalytic reduction (SCR), electric submersible pump (ESP), wet flue gas desulfurization (WFGD), and wet electrostatic precipitator (WESP) was conducted by using U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Method 29. Simultaneous sampling of the coal, bottom ash, ESP ash, flue gas, and by-products from WFGD and WESP processes was performed. Results show that TEs mass balance rates for the entire system, furnace and each air pollution control device (APCD), are in the acceptable range of 70–130%, which confirms the validity and reliability of the field test data. The studied TEs are mainly distributed in bottom and ESP ash with the ratios of 2.11–12.15% and 87.83–97.83%, respectively, while little amounts of them exist in WFGD, WESP, and the stack. Coal combustion by-products such as bottom ash and gypsum have little influence on soil from the perspective of TEs while more attention should be paid to Ni, Zn, and Cd in the ESP ash. Waste water from WFGD should be treated carefully especially for Cr and Mn. WESP wastewater has no influence on groundwater except for Mn, Ag, and Sb. Zn, Ni, and Sb prefer to enrich in ESP ash while accumulation of Mn occurs in bottom ash. Ba is enriched in both bottom and ESP ashes. ESP has great removal efficiency for TEs with the value exceeding 99.87%. Both WFGD and WESP are capable of capturing TEs, which results in the overall removal rate across ESP + WFGD + WESP of more than 99.90%. TEs concentration in the flue gas emitted from the stack is extremely low with the range of 0.00–1.33 μg/m3. The ultralow-emission (ULE) coal-fired power plant equipped with SCR + ESP + WFGD + WESP has good effects on TEs emission control.

The implications of revised WHO classification (2008) of chronic myeloid neoplasms.

Myeloid disorders constitute a subgroup of hematological malignancies of myeloid lineage. In the revised 2008 WHO classification system, the nomenclature for myeloproliferative entities has been changed from "chronic myeloproliferative diseases" to "myeloproliferative neoplasms", the definition criteria has changed, and and the MDS/MPN has emerged as a well defined entity the subgroup formerly known as "myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative diseases" has changed to "myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms". The World Health Organization classification of myeloid neoplasms relies on the association of clinical, morphologic, immunophenotypic and genetic diagnostic features. The current review highlights these changes and also provides diagnostic algorithms that are tailored to routine clinical practice.
