A SkSP-R Plan under the Assumption of Gompertz Distribution

In this study, we designed a time-truncated SkSP-R sampling plan when the lifetime of units follows a Gompertz distribution (GmzD). The GmzD is briefly discussed. All of the plan parameters were obtained using a two-point approach, which is based on limiting quality level (LQL) and acceptable quality level (AQL). Moreover, operating characteristic (OC) values were calculated for the determined value of the plan parameters by using the OC function of the SkSP-R. Applications of two real life situations in engineering were presented to illustrate the applicability of the offered sampling inspection plan. It was found that the new SkSP-R sampling inspection plan can be used efficiently in the field.

FGF2 and EGF Are Required for Self-Renewal and Organoid Formation of Canine Normal and Tumor Breast Stem Cells

Recent studies suggest that human tumors are generated from cancer cells with stem cell (SC) properties. Spontaneously occurring cancers in dogs contain a diversity of cells that like for human tumors suggest that certain canine tumors are also generated from cancer stem cells (CSCs). CSCs, like normal SCs, have the capacity for self-renewal as mammospheres in suspension cultures. To understand how cells with SC properties contribute to canine mammary gland tumor development and progression, comparative analysis between normal SCs and CSCs, obtained from the same individual, is essential. We have utilized the property of sphere formation to develop culture conditions for propagating stem/progenitor cells from canine normal and tumor tissue. We show that cells from dissociated mammospheres retain sphere reformation capacity for several serial passages and have the capacity to generate organoid structures ex situ. Utilizing various culture conditions for passaging SCs and CSCs, fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) were found to positively or negatively regulate mammosphere regeneration, organoid formation, and multi-lineage differentiation potential. The response of FGF2 and EGF on SCs and CSCs was different, with increased FGF2 and EGF self-renewal promoted in SCs and repressed in CSCs. Our protocol for propagating SCs from normal and tumor canine breast tissue will provide new opportunities in comparative mammary gland stem cell analysis between species and anticancer treatment and therapies for dogs.

Cohesion to life on the land of migration: Olympic education and refugees

Due to global migration, addressing essential needs like nutrition, housing, and security has become a pressing concern for migrants and host communities, with social cohesion being a primary focus. To promote social cohesion, many state policies now include provisions that aim to leverage cultural and lifestyle differences as assets. This research examines the role of Olympic education programmes implemented through sports in establishing social cohesion among refugees. A qualitative single case study approach was used, collecting data through interviews and documents. Thematic analysis revealed intergroup conflict as a major obstacle to social cohesion, and the programme was seen as a potential mitigating factor. Stakeholders had diverse but similar goals and took action to achieve them. The programme's outcomes contributed to targeted development, with stakeholders recognizing the importance of a long-term social cohesion process. Short-term achievements also indicated potential medium and long-term changes.

Do it yourself - a lean startup toolbox for employee-driven green product innovation

Green product innovation (GPI) has become a key strategic issue for companies that aim at improving their environmental and economic performance. In order to harness their entire innovation potential, companies are well advised to integrate all employees into GPI processes. The concept of employee-driven innovation (EDI) recognises an underutilised potential of employees who are not formally assigned to innovation tasks. Still, there exists only limited research on tools and practices which employees can apply when engaging in GPI activities. With the aim of filling this void, this conceptual paper draws on the lean startup (LS) approach which applies lean thinking to entrepreneurship and innovation processes. LS principles complement GPI development since lean and green paradigms share the objective of resource efficiency and waste avoidance. This paper develops a process framework and toolbox which employees can use to validate and refine their GPI ideas before presenting them to their managers. Furthermore, it discusses to what extent the application of the presented LS framework enables employees to propose valuable GPI ideas.

Organoleptic Properties of Cow Milk, Yoghurt, Kefir, and Soy Milk When Combined with Broccoli Oil: A Preliminary Study

Broccoli sprouts are an excellent source of health-promoting phytochemicals, such as glucosinolates, phenols, and vitamins. In this investigation, oil extracted from broccoli was adjusted to various concentrations (control, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, and 5%, respectively) and added directly to dairy products (cow milk, yoghurt, and kefir) and non-dairy products (soy milk), and their organoleptic properties assessed. The results showed that when the amount of broccoli oil was increased, the organoleptic properties (texture, color, and flavor) and overall acceptability tended to decrease. Cow milk, yoghurt, kefir, and soymilk supplemented with 1% broccoli oil showed the best organoleptic properties when compared to the control group. The fermented products such as yoghurt and kefir with added broccoli oil showed good organoleptic properties. Overall, the results of this study provide evidence for the use of broccoli oil in dairy and non-dairy products. Further research will be required to assess the various physiological active functions of broccoli oil.

Development of a Portable Low-Cost System for the Metrological Verification of Wheelchair Roller Ergometers

Abstract Wheelchair ergometers are widely used in research, clinical practice, and sports environments. The majority of wheelchair ergometers are roller systems that allow for wheelchair propulsion in the personal wheelchair on one or two (instrumented) rollers. Oftentimes these systems are only statically calibrated. However, wheelchair propulsion is dynamic by nature, requiring a dynamic validation process. The aim of the current project was to present a low-cost portable system for the dynamic metrological verification of wheelchair roller ergometers, based on an instrumented reference wheel. The tangential force on the roller is determined, along with its uncertainty, from the reference wheel properties, and compared with the force measured by the ergometer. Uncertainty of this reference wheel system was found to be lower than the one of the ergometer used, indicating that this novel approach can be used for the metrological verification of ergometers.

Continuous Artificial Prediction Markets as a Syndromic Surveillance Technique

The main goal of syndromic surveillance systems is early detection of an outbreak in a society using available data sources. In this paper, we discuss what are the challenges of syndromic surveillance systems and how continuous Artificial Prediction Market [Jahedpari et al., 2017] can effectively be applied to the problem of syndromic surveillance. We use two well-known models of (i) Google Flu Trends, and (ii) the latest improvement of Google Flu Trends model, named as GP [Lampos et al., 2015], as our case study and we show how c-APM can improve upon their performance. Our results demonstrate that c-APM typically has a lower MAE to that of Google Flu Trends in each year. Though this difference is relatively small in some years like 2004 and 2007, it is relatively large in most years and very large between 2011 and 2013.

Molecular detection of Cryptococcus from formalin-fixed&#13;\nparaffin-embedded tissue sample - a noncultural approach&#13;\nfor diagnosis of primary pulmonary cryptococcosis

Despite pulmonary cryptococcosis showing good response to antifungal treatment, making accurate diagnosis in a timely manner remains a challenge. Tissue for fungal culture is less sensitive, nonspecific, and time-consuming to allow for prompt diagnosis. We herein report a case of 31-year-old woman with no known medical illness but presented with history of cough and haemoptysis for two months. The chest X-ray and bronchoscopy revealed left lung mass. While tuberculosis showed negative result and no growth observed in the tissue culture, the histopathological examination (HPE) finding was suggestive of fungal infection. The formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue was sent for molecular testing, which revealed Cryptococcus neoformans. This report emphasises on the advantages and limitations of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) as an alternative method to confirm the diagnosis in cases of culture-negative fungal infection.

Re: Effects of Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections on Graft and Patient Outcomes After Kidney Transplantation

In this retrospective single center study at a large-volume center, the authors have investigated association between post kidney transplant (KT) urinary tract infections (UTIs) and graft and patient outcomes, with a focus on recurrent (R)-UTIs (≥2 UTIs in any 6-month period or ≥3 UTIs in any 12-month period).Of 2469 patients included, 1835 (74.3%) had no UTI, 465 (18.8%) had nonrecurrent (NR)-UTI (urine sample containing >10 5 bacterial colony-forming units/mL) and 169 (6.8%) had R-UTI.The authors have found that patients with R-UTI had significantly worse graft function and graft survival compared with both those with no UTI as well as NR-UTI.R-UTI, but not NR-UTI, was associated with poorer patient survival compared with no UTI.Therefore, the association between UTI and worse patient outcomes in the KT population appears to be driven by recurrent cases.R-UTIs were more likely to be caused by multi drug resistant organisms, posing unique treatment challenges.Also, some risk factors, which have not been previously described, were found in this study for R-UTIs; increased age, African-American race and deceased donor status were also reported besides female gender, diabetes mellitus, ureteric stenting, re-transplantation, lack of antimicrobial prophylaxis and prolonged urinary catheterization which have been linked to R-UTI in the literature.

The Transition from Corporate Governance to Bankruptcy Governance – Convergence of German and US law?

The recently established doctrine of ‘deepening insolvency’, as an independent cause of action and/or theory of damages, holds a defendant liable for causing an insolvent company to incur additional debt in order to sustain its life. Based on a comparative analysis of the German concept of liability for delaying formal insolvency proceedings and the doctrine of ‘deepening insolvency, ’ this paper attempts to ascertain whether, and to what extent, convergence of German and US law can be observed in respect of the transition from corporate governance to bankruptcy governance.

Vortex Particle-Mesh simulations of Vertical Axis Wind Turbine flows: from the blade aerodynamics to the very far wake

A Vortex Particle-Mesh (VPM) method with immersed lifting lines has been developed and validated. Based on the vorticity-velocity formulation of the Navier-Stokes equations, it combines the advantages of a particle method and of a mesh-based approach. The immersed lifting lines handle the creation of vorticity from the blade elements and its early development. LES of Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) flows are performed. The complex wake development is captured in details and over very long distances: from the blades to the near wake coherent vortices, then through the transitional ones to the fully developed turbulent far wake (beyond 10 rotor diameters). The statistics and topology of the mean flow are studied. The computational sizes also allow insights into the detailed unsteady vortex dynamics, including some unexpected topological flow features.

Alternatives to standard cataract surgery

Two alternatives to standard cataract surgery have been developed which have distinct benefits in selected patients. Phacoemulsification, which requires only a small incision and little recovery time, is particularly suited to young patients. Elderly patients, who often cannot wear aphakic spectacles or contact lenses, may benefit from intraocular lens implantation.

Logarithmic corrections to the free energy from sharp corners with angle $2π$

We study subleading corrections to the corner free energy in classical two-dimensional critical systems, focusing on a generic boundary perturbation by the stress-tensor of the underlying conformal field theory (CFT). In the particular case of an angle $2π$, we find that there is an unusual correction of the form $L^{-1}\log L$, where $L$ is a typical length scale in the system. This correction also affects the one-point function of an operator near the corner. The prefactor can be seen as semi-universal, in the sense that it depends on a \emph{single} non-universal quantity, the extrapolation length. Once this ultraviolet cutoff is known, the term is entirely fixed by the geometry of the system, and the central charge of the CFT. Such a corner appears for example in the bipartite fidelity of a one-dimensional quantum system at criticality, which allows for several numerical checks in free fermions systems. We also present an exact result in the XX and Ising chains that confirms this analysis. Finally, we consider applications to the time evolution of the (logarithmic) Loschmidt echo and the entanglement entropy following a local quantum quench. Due to subtle issues in analytic continuation, we find that the logarithmic term in imaginary time transforms into a time-dependent $L^{-2}$ correction for the entanglement entropy, and a $L^{-2}\log L$ term for the Loschmidt echo.

The Clinical Risk Management of Stalking

Stalking behavior is now a criminal act throughout the United States and Canada. Defined explicitly in most states, and referred to as criminal harassment in Canada, stalking is typically &amp;quot;the willful, malicious, and repeated following and harassing of another person that threatens his or her safety &amp;quot; (Meloy and Gothard, 1995, p. 258). Although not the province of psychotherapy, the mental health clinician in public or private practice is likely to encounter this behavior, usually in cases where the patient is the victim; less often where the patient is the perpetrator; and occasionally where the clinician is the victim. The majority of cases of stalking, or what I clinically term obsessional following, involve prior acquaintances or prior sexual intimates (Meloy, 1996). The clinical awareness that a patient may be the victim of stalking usually first arises when complaints of repetitive, intrusive behavior by another are voiced by the patient. Such acts may range from repeated, unwanted invitations that are just annoying, to chronic harassment, often

Development Strategy Implemented by the Koto Tinggi Village Government in Sarugo Tourism Village Using 4A Analysis (Attraction, Accessibility, Amenities, Ancillary)

Tourism has experienced a paradigm shift from consumptive to participatory, where tourist villages are one form of tourism that emphasizes cultural interaction and community empowerment. This study aims to explore the development strategy of the Saribu Gonjong (Sarugo) Tourism Village in Nagari Koto Tinggi. The research method uses the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach and 4A analysis (attractions, accessibility, amenities, support). The stages include local asset mapping, participatory discussions, action planning, strategic role sharing, and field training. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and literature studies of key informants such as Pokdarwis, Bundo Kanduang, youth, and village officials. The study results showed that mentoring succeeded in identifying cultural and social assets, strengthening community capacity, and increasing collaboration between parties. Cultural attractions need to be packaged more thematically, while accessibility and amenities are still challenges. The village government plays an active role as a facilitator and regulator of tourism village development. This study concludes that through 4A analysis it is effective in encouraging the development of tourism villages based on local potential in a sustainable manner. Still, long-term success requires infrastructure improvements, further training, and ongoing cross-sector coordination.

Predictable Failure of the Measures against “Excessive Personal Debt” in France? A Form of Social Assistance – Viewed from a Sociological Angle

Personal financial debt levels of a population provide an indicator of on-going hardship and insecurity. By the end of 2013 in France, commissions set up in 1989 to stabilise the level financial debt had received over a million requests. Despite heavy legislation aiming at maximum deleveraging, a growing number of groups of individuals are still struggling to manage their everyday finances. This article will make a critical assessment of public policy measures introduced to tackle excessive debt in France. It will go on to argue that, the legal and social approach to the issue of personal debt has, in reality, contributed to its failure – from a solidarity point of view at least.

Determination of the fair value of a multifunctional family farm: a case study

The article analyses problems of the determination of the fair value of a multifunctional family farm using the method of discounted cash flow, presents a model of determination of the fair value of a multifunctional family farm and tests it for a selected family farm. The specificity of the cash flows in a multifunctional family farm is related to the cash flows from financial support, different value drivers of the earnings before interests and tax and their calculation methodology, and the value of created public goods and externalities. Two types of discount rates are used to determine the value of a family farm: market-based and social discount rate (SDR). It is appropriate to use the SDR to discount the cash flow of investment, the economic and social benefits whereof are distributed among present and future generations. The stages of the determination of the fair value of a farmer’s farm include: value drivers’ decomposition; differentiation of cash flow and discount rates and measuring value drivers; forecasting cash flow and discount rate value drivers; value drivers’ composition; determination of the terminal value; cash flow discounting.

Immature teratoma arising from uterine corpus in an 11‐year‐old girl: Case report and review of the literature

Abstract Teratomas are one of the most common germ cell tumors, and they usually occur in ovaries. Extragonadal teratomas are rare, especially immature ones. Only several cases of primary teratomas of the uterus have been reported since 1929. Here, the case of an 11‐year‐old patient who had a 6‐month history of sustained abnormal vaginal discharge is presented. Transabdominal ultrasonography revealed a solid mass in her uterus, resulting in the patient undergoing surgery. Examination of PET‐CT scans revealed a mass in the right ovary of the patient 20 days after surgery. The patient underwent a second surgery followed by chemotherapy. This is the youngest case among reported patients of primary immature uterine teratoma, and this patient showed no evidence of recurrence during 2 years of follow‐up.
