abstract: Abstract The big data samples are important source for analytics. However, its relevant/irrelevant information, unspecified variables/scales, noise/null, and so forth impose huge challenges on the analysis of relevance, feature, cause, and evaluation. This paper proposes an evidential analytics to disclose buried information in big data samples. Technically, it models memberships composed of relevant preference and replaces data with these priors. Its operations include generating analytics baselines, reducing variables, identifying sparse features, and inducing rules by taking advantage of evidence. In illustration, a case study of semiconductor manufacturing in UCI secom is presented. It discloses relevant signals, key factors, variables' thresholds, sparse characteristics, and causal effect of damages buried in normal samples. The contribution of this paper not only contains these achievements but provides priori data for inference.

abstract: The purpose of this project paper was to identify the relationship between job satisfactions with the intention to leave among security personnel within Secom (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. a security service provider located in Shah Alam, Selangor. This study is aimed to identify the most high impact job satisfactions facets or dimension on the intention to leave the organization. It is also to identify the significant differences between studied demographic characteristics with the intention to leave among respondents. A questionnaire consists of six (6) facets of satisfaction developed by Wood et al. (1986) and Purani and Sahadev (2007) was used to measure job satisfaction with the intention to leave. The research is done via survey which inclusive of total of 57 questions for all facets or dimensions of job satisfaction and intention to leave; as well as their demographic characteristics. The data was analyzed by using the SPSS version 20.0. Respondents participated in the project paper was selected among security personnel of Secom (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. located throughout Malaysia. These employees were coming from various races, age group, marital status, years of working experience and academic levels. The findings indicate that there is a relationship between job satisfaction facets and the intention to leave. To add, satisfaction with supervisor and satisfaction to the management and human resource policies are said to have significant contribution and turns to be the dominant factor and has the highest impact to the intention to leave among security personnel in Secom (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. It was also found that different age group, marital status and education levels have significant differences with the intention to leave among respondents

abstract: Objective: To present a case of sclerosing polycystic adenosis (SPA) of the parotid gland, highlighting the probable etiology and the benign behavior of these cases. Case report: A woman of 22 years old had a right parotid mass with a slowly progressive growth associated with a chronic infection due to Epstein Barr virus. Initially, it was asymptomatic and subsequently the patient developed light dysesthesias in the region. A superficial parotidectomy was done and the microscopic study informed SPA. Conclusion: The SPA is similar to the fibrocystic changes, sclerosing adenosis and adenoid tumors of the mammary gland. The main location of the SPA is the parotid gland and it is considered a disease due to a pseudotumoral inflammatory reaction with a possible association with the Epstein Barr virus. There is evidence that monoclonal cell populations exist. The treatment consists in excision of the tumor with a superficial parotidectomy, which has demonstrated high cure rates. (c) 2014 SECOM.

abstract: Recently, TOD gains popularity as a traffic solution measure of high density urban regeneration projects. The purpose of this study is to investigate traffic impacts of high density TOD projects, and to identify the issues to be resolved. For a case study, it chooses Gangnamgucheong station in Gangnam area served by two subway lines, and designates 400m radius from the station as a site for high density development. The MOEs chosen for this study is traffic volume, time, distance, speed, and mode share. The SECOM model is adopted for traffic simulation. The analysis results show that high density TOD is an effective tool for traffic improvement even with only one station area being implemented. It is found that the traffic volume increases near the station in nature where high density development occurs, but it declines overall in the rest of Gangam area. The total travel time and distance of passenger vehicles decline, meaning that the traffic condition becomes better than before. With regulation on parking supply, the improvement becomes more vivid. In terms of the changes of traffic speed, both alternatives show 4.1% increase in speed, but the difference between alternatives is not quite noticeable because of the induced vehicle demand driven to the streets with improved traffic condition. The mode share changes occur for the benefit of subway ridership, because the study station is equipped with two subway line services. When mixed with parking supply restriction, the impact becomes clearer.

abstract: A 41 year old female with schizo affective disorder presenting with an eight year history of auditory hallucinations participated in a single case treatment study (A B A B A C B) of the effects of the Attention Training Technique (ATT) No antipsychotic medication was prescribed in this case following a serious adverse reaction in the past. The aim of the study was to test the impact of ATT on the frequency and duration of hallucinations using a repeated return to baseline followed by an alternating treatment design. The alternative intervention consisted of autogenic relaxation instructions. The patient monitored the frequency, duration, and her distress over the voices on a daily basis during baseline and intervention phases across a study period of 80 weeks. Visual analysis of the data showed that ATT when introduced at three phases following baselines or control conditions was associated with a reduction in auditory hallucination frequency and duration compared to the other phases. This contrasted with the autogenic relaxation intervention that was associated with an increase in duration and frequency of voices. The perceived benefits of ATT were maintained for varying periods of time.

abstract: Background Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) is a mixture of adipose derived stem cells/mesenchymal stem cells, endothelial/progenitors, pericytes, fibroblasts, and other cells obtained from fat tissue. A small sample of fat or adipose tissue can be obtained under local anesthesia using a cannula. After an enzymatic digestion and centrifugation, the adipocytes (fat cells) are removed to obtain an SVF. Here, we describe the rationale and, to our knowledge, the first clinical implementation of SVF intravenously in a patient with severe psoriasis. Methods Adipose tissue (60 mL) was collected under local anesthesia via a mini lipoaspirate procedure. The SVF was separated from the adipocytes via centrifugation after an enzymatic digestion. The cells were resuspended in normal saline and injected via bolus push intravenous. The subject was monitored over a period of 12 months for safety (adverse events) medication changes, and quality of life parameters. Results The patient did not report any safety concerns and did not experience any severe adverse events. The patient demonstrated a significant decrease in symptoms with a noticeable difference in skin quality appearance. Psoriasis area and severity index score went from 50.4 at baseline to 0.3 at 1 month follow up. Conclusion Overall, the patient reported improved quality of life and willingness to continue treatments. This successful initial case study demonstrates that this may be a feasible treatment plan for patients suffering from psoriasis.

abstract: &NA; The emergence of liquid biopsy using circulating tumor cells (CTCs) as a resource to identify genomic alterations in cancer presents new opportunities for diagnosis, therapy, and surveillance. We identified EML4 ALK gene rearrangement in expanded CTCs from a patient with ALK positive lung adenocarcinoma. At the time of radiographic progression, CTCs obtained from the patient revealed a drug resistance mutation (i.e. L1196M on the ALK gene) CTCs were expanded ex vivo and drug sensitivity testing was performed using two ALK inhibitors, crizotinib and ceritinib. The half maximal inhibitory concentration of ceritinib was 1664 nM compared with crizotinib (2268 nM) showing that ceritinib was a more potent ALK inhibitor. We show that it is feasible to detect serial genetic alterations in expanded CTCs and perform in vitro drug screening. These findings support the clinical utility of CTCs not only for diagnosis, but also a potential tool for drug sensitivity testing in distinct subsets of lung cancer and for personalized precision medicine.

abstract: Pulmonary seed embolization is a complication of prostatic brachytherapy with varying incidence rates. Key factors that reportedly influence the incidence of seed embolization include planning volume, quantity of seeds, seed placement, and type of seeds (stranded vs free) The clinical implications of seed migration are unclear because sequelae were not demonstrated in multiple short term studies yet there have been several reports of long term complications. We report a case of a 56 year old patient who presented with dyspnea approximately 6 years after brachytherapy treatment for a very low risk prostate cancer. Chest radiograph showed multiple linear densities overlying the right suprahilar lung. Computed tomography confirmed the location of the densities within the pulmonary arteries in the right upper lobe.
