Politano-Leadbetter Ureteroneocystostomy | Purpose: We evaluated the results and complications of children with reflux treated with the Politano-Leadbetter ureteroneocystostomy. In particular, we evaluated pre- and postoperative renal parenchymal scarring and the late development of hypertension. Materials and Methods: From 1965 through 1996, 666 children (814 renal units) were reimplanted by nine urologists. The average postoperative evaluation was 10.3 years, and 68.8% of all patiens were evaluable 10 years after surgery. Results: Postoperative complications occurred in 7.8% and consisted of small bowel serosal injury (0.3%), vesicocutaneous fistula (0.4%) and retrovesical hematoma (0.3%). Persistent reflux was the most common postoperative complication (5.6%) and was found to occur in higher grades of vesicorenal reflux. Ureteral stricture and hydronephrosis were seen in 1.2% of children, and was corrected with a secondary reimplantation. Late stricture occurred in all but 1 patient (0.2%). Renal parenchymal scarring was found in 21.2% of patients preoperatively, and this increased over time postoperatively to 27.7%. In 8.7% of these patients, hypertension developed between the 6th and 17th postoperative year. In 6.1%, nephrectomy was carried out, which normalized blood pressures in 87.9% of these 30 patients. Conclusions: The Politano-Leadbetter ureteroneocystostomy was successful in 93.6% of all 814 renal units surgically treated. The operation is safe, but can be associated with late development of hypertension despite correction of the reflux. | [

Simplest Normal Forms of Hopf–Neimark–Sacker Bifurcations | According to [Yu, 1999], at most two terms remain in the amplitude equation of the normal form of a continuous system, expressed in polar coordinates, with a Hopf or Generalized Hopf singularity, if we (only) apply specific nonlinear transformation to the conventional normal form; but, at least one remains in the phase equation. In this paper we show that, using a particular nonlinear scaling, these terms in the phase equation can be eliminated, which simplifies the (diffeomorphic) normal form given by [Yu, 1999]. Besides, we have also treated the Neimark–Sacker and Generalized Neimark–Sacker bifurcations, the corresponding discrete cases of the Hopf and Generalized Hopf, obtaining results which are similar to the continuous ones. | International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos | [

Digital transformation in enhancing knowledge acquisition of public sector employees | This research was conducted to determine knowledge acquisition by employing digital technology for public sector employees. This study adopts system quality, information quality, user satisfaction, service quality, and net benefit as the empirical considerations. The data analysis technique in this study used SEM (Structural Equation Modeling). Respondents in this study were 198 people consisting of public sector employees who used a learning management system. The results showed that service quality has a significant effect on user satisfaction. User satisfaction has a significant effect on net benefits. Meanwhile, system quality had no significant effect on user satisfaction, information quality had a significant effect on user satisfaction. The findings would imply the strategies to strengthen the implementation of e- learning is to increase user satisfaction. The finding managerially points out the necessity to evaluate the transformation of classical training programs in terms of face-to-face learning to blended learning by integrating online learning and face-to-face in the public sector knowledge acquisition model of training. The findings present an evaluation using empirical examination and highlights the importance of continuity to arrange action plans in public sector to synchronize knowledge acquisition model through training to obtain behavioral change and wider organizational impact of the training on public sector institutions. | [

Secondary Flow Phenomena in Rotating Radial Straight Pipes | Flow visualization results for secondary flow phenomena near the exit of a rotating radial-axis straight pipe (length ࡁ = 82 cm, inside diameter d = 3.81 cm, ࡁ/d 21.52) are presented to study the stabilizing (relaminarization) and destabilizing (early transition from laminar to turbulent flow) effects of Coriolis forces for Reynolds numbers Re = 500 ∼ 4,500 and rotating speeds n = 0 ∼ 200 rpm. The flow visualization was realised by smoke injection method. The main features of the transition phenomena are disclosed for Re = 1,500 and 4,500. The observed secondary flow patterns are found to be quite different from those obtained by theoretical or numerical analysis with one pair of symmetric and steady counter-rotating vortices. The practical implications of the visualization study are pointed out. | [

Contextual Politics of Difference in Transnational Care: The Rhetoric of Filipino Domestics’ Employers in Taiwan | The construction of foreign domestics as ‘Others’ has been a critical process to the globalization of domestic service. While the globalization of domestic service has been associated with a transnational female labour force, the transnational labour system has always been reconstituted as a new labour regime consistent with local particularity. In this article, I examine how Taiwanese employers discursively construct the otherness of their Filipino domestics. I argue that Taiwanese employers construct and naturalize the otherness of foreign domestics utilizing national identities, racial characteristics, and nationally based class difference. These differences, integral to the racialization of foreign domestics, are central not only to the persistence of their servitude at home but also to their social and political marginalization in the host society as a whole. The localization of a transnational labour force necessitates the examination of the contextual politics of difference. Rather than speaking of the universalized experience of foreign domestics, the contextual politics of difference provides a comparative framework for understanding not only the relational but also the contextual nature of identity construction. It demonstrates how difference is localized in the transnational system of care and how the localization of difference serves to reproduce social and global inequality. | [

Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes of “Silent” and “Non-Silent” Peritonitis in Patients on Peritoneal Dialysis | ♦Objectives We compared the clinical characteristics and outcomes of “silent” peritonitis (meaning episodes without fever and abdominal pain) and “non-silent” peritonitis in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD). ♦Methods Our cohort study collected data about all peritonitis episodes occurring between January 2008 and April 2010. Disease severity score, demographics, and biochemistry and nutrition data were recorded at baseline. Effluent cell counts were examined at regular intervals, and the organisms cultured were examined. Treatment failure was defined as peritonitis-associated death or transfer to hemodialysis. ♦Results Of 248 episodes of peritonitis occurring in 161 PD patients, 20.9% led to treatment failure. Of the 248 episodes, 51 (20.6%) were not accompanied by fever and abdominal pain. Patients with these silent peritonitis episodes tended to be older ( p = 0.003). The baseline values for body mass index, triglycerides, and daily energy intake were significantly lower before silent peritonitis episodes than before non-silent episodes ( p = 0.01, 0.003, and 0.001 respectively). Although silent peritonitis episodes were more often culture-negative and less often caused by gram-negative organisms, and although they presented with low effluent white cell counts on days 1 and 3, the risk for treatment failure in those episodes was not lower (adjusted odds ratio: 1.33; 95% confidence interval: 0.75 to 2.36; p = 0.33). ♦Conclusions Silent peritonitis is not a rare phenomenon, especially in older patients on PD. Although these episodes were more often culture-negative, silent presentation was not associated with a better outcome. | [

Influence of environmental and nutritional factors on the development of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) microgreens grown in a hydroponic system: A review | Lettuce microgreens are one of the most popular vegetables due to them being perceived as a “healthy food”, with high concentrations of nutrients, beneficial vitamins, and minerals. With a short vegetation period, they can be cultivated with minimum investment, and they are increasingly accepted by consumers, as they are healthy and easy to prepare. Lettuce has high ecological plasticity, but, despite this, its phenotypic expression, morphology, physiology, and anatomy are significantly influenced by environmental conditions. Lettuce microgreens contain higher quantities of phytonutrients and minerals and lower quantities of nitrates at the early stage of development than at the completely developed stage. The environmental conditions that influence the development of lettuce microgreens (and their quality) in a hydroponic system are as follows (average ideal values): light (400 W), photoperiodicity (12 h), light intensity (400 µmol m−2 s−1), colour spectrum (440-460 nm), temperature (20 ± 2 °C), and humidity (80 ± 5 %). The nutritional solution in a hydroponic system must be carefully monitored, by checking certain essential parameters such as the following (average ideal values): pH (6.3 ± 0.4), electrical conductivity (1.8 ± 0.2 mS), dissolved oxygen (6 mg L−1), and temperature (18 ± 2 °C). The analysis of expert literature reveals that there is a need to establish certain protocols for cultivating microgreens in hydroponic systems, to minimize the factors that can negatively influence the plants, in order to obtain higher concentrations of active substances. | [

Abstract A40: Expression of cancer-associated fibroblast-related proteins differs between invasive lobular carcinoma and invasive ductal carcinoma | Abstract Purpose: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are classified into various functional subtypes such as fibroblast activation protein-α (FAP-α), fibroblast specific protein-1 (FSP-1), platelet-derived growth factor receptor-α (PDGFR-α), and PDGFR-β. In this study, we compared the expression of CAF-related proteins in invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) with those in invasive carcinoma of no special type (NST), and assessed the implications of the differences observed. Methods: Using tissue microarrays of 104 ILC and 524 invasive carcinoma (NST) cases, immunohistochemistry for CAF-related proteins [podoplanin, prolyl 4-hydroxylase, FAP-α, FSP-1/S100A4, PDGFR-α, PDGFR-β, and chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (NG2)] was conducted. Results: In invasive carcinoma (NST), tumor cells expressed a high level of PDGFR-α, whereas ILC tumor cells expressed high levels of podoplanin, prolyl 4-hydroxylase, FAP-α, and FSP-1/S100A4. In stromal cells of invasive carcinoma (NST), high expression levels of prolyl 4-hydroxylase, PDGFR-α, and NG2 were observed, whereas ILC stromal cells expressed high levels of FAP-α, FSP-1/S100A4, and PDGFR-β. In ILC, tumoral FSP-1/S100A4 positivity was associated with higher Ki-67 labeling index (p = 0.010) and non-luminal A type cancer (p = 0.014). Stromal PDGFR-α positivity was associated with lymph node metastasis (p = 0.011). On survival analysis of entire cases, tumoral FSP-1/S100A4 positivity (p = 0.001) and stromal podoplanin positivity (p = 0.035) were associated with shorter disease-free survival; only tumoral FSP-1/S100A4 positivity (p = 0.001) was associated with shorter overall survival. Conclusion: In ILC, the expression of FAP-α and FSP-1/S100A4 was higher in both tumor and stromal cells than that observed in invasive carcinoma (NST). These results indicate that CAFs are a potential target in ILC treatment. Citation Format: Lee YuKyung, Kim Eun-Sol, Koo Ja Seung.

Fault diagnosis of oil-immersed transformer based on MGTO-BSCN | In order to improve the accuracy and reliability of fault diagnosis of oil-immersed power transformers, a fault diagnosis method based on the Modified Artificial Gorilla Troops Optimizer (MGTO) and the Stochastic Configuration Networks with Block Increments (BSCN) is proposed. First, the original artificial gorilla troop optimization algorithm is improved, which effectively improves the convergence speed and optimization accuracy of the algorithm. Secondly, the conventional Stochastic Configuration Networks (SCN) learning methodology is modified when the fault diagnosis model is constructed. The original SCN adopts point incremental approach to gradually add hidden nodes, while BSCN adopts block increment approach to learn features. It significantly accelerates training. MGTO algorithm is used to jointly optimize regularization parameter and scale factor in BSCN model, and the fault diagnosis model with the highest accuracy is constructed. The experimental results show that the accuracy of MGTO-BSCN for transformer fault diagnosis reaches 95.9%, which is 3.5%, 9.9% and 11.7% higher than BSCN fault diagnosis models optimized by GTO, Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) respectively, reflecting the superiority of MGTO algorithm. Meanwhile, the comparison with the traditional model shows that the proposed method has obvious advantages in diagnostic effect. | [

A commentary on the shape of loess particles assuming a spatial exponential distribution for the cracks in quartz | AbstractAn important property of loess is a tendency to collapse on loading and wetting (hydroconsolidation) which can have serious consequences worldwide for civil engineering projects. Randomly generated particles are classified according to Zingg shape categories: disc, sphere, blade and rod. This paper differs from the previous by the same author [8] in that a uniform distribution is no longer assumed for the underlying spatial distribution. Randomly placed faults in the quartz mother-rock lead naturally to an exponential distribution for the linear dimension of the basic particle. Monte Carlo processes and analytical formulae are used to calculate the average dimensions for particles in the blade category, into which most loess has been shown to fall. | [

(In)dependence and addictions: Governmentality across public and private treatment discourses | In light of the current spike in opioid addiction in upper middle-class white populations, we examine addiction treatment discourses on the webpages of public methadone clinics and private rehabilitation facilities through a critical theoretical lens. While both discourses exercise social control over opioid-addicted clients by regulating their everyday practices, we find classed differences in these discourses when they are aimed at differently socially located populations. Private treatment discourses trust clients to be led to a state of self-governance through a holistic transformation of ‘mind, body, and spirit’, while public clinics’ websites frame patients as unruly bodies that must be chemically rendered docile through medication before they can return to everyday life. | [

Inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 activity in subchondral bone modifies a subtype of osteoarthritis | AbstractOsteoarthritis (OA) causes the destruction of joints. Its pathogenesis is still under investigation, and there is no effective disease-modifying therapy. Here, we report that elevated cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression in the osteocytes of subchondral bone causes both spontaneous OA and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The knockout of COX-2 in osteocytes or treatment with a COX-2 inhibitor effectively rescues the structure of subchondral bone and attenuates cartilage degeneration in spontaneous OA (STR/Ort) mice and tumor necrosis factor-α transgenic RA mice. Thus, elevated COX-2 expression in subchondral bone induces both OA-associated and RA-associated joint cartilage degeneration. The inhibition of COX-2 expression can potentially modify joint destruction in patients with arthritis. | [

Influence of discount price announcements on consumer's behavior | The theoretical framework that underpins this research study is based on the Prospect Theory formulated by Kahneman and Tversky, and Thaler's Mental Accounting Theory. The research aims to evaluate the consumers' behavior when different patterns of discount are offered (in percentage and absolute value and for larger and smaller discounts). Two experiments were conducted to explore these patterns of behavior and the results that were obtained supported the view that the framing effect was a common occurrence. The patterns of choice of individuals in a sample were found to be different due to changes in the ways discounts were offered. This can be explained by the various ways of presenting discount rates that had an impact on the influence of purchase intentions, recommendations and quality perception. | [

Modeling of Heat Transfer in a Moving Packed Bed: Case of the Preheater in Nickel Carbonyl Process | Heat transfer in a two-dimensional moving packed bed consisting of pellets surrounded by a gaseous atmosphere is numerically investigated. The governing equations are formulated based on the volume averaging method. A two-equation model, representing the solid and gas phases separately, and a one-equation model, representing both the solid and gas phases, are considered. The models take the form of partial differential equations with a set of boundary conditions, some of which were determined experimentally, and design parameters in addition to the operating conditions. We examine and discuss the parameters in order to reduce temperature differences from pellet to pellet. The calculation results show that by adopting a constant temperature along the preheater outer wall and decreasing the velocity of the pellets in the preheater, the difference in temperature from pellet to pellet is reduced from ∼120°C to ∼55°C, and the thermal efficiency of the preheater is tremendously improved. | [

The great unread New Zealand novel: David Ballantyne’s Sydney Bridge Upside Down | David Ballantyne’s novel The Cunninghams (1948) was deemed upon publication to be a “masterly study of working-class family life in a New Zealand town” and it was praised for its “utmost fidelity” to the “minutiae of small-town life”. The novel’s grim tone, Depression-era setting, local referent and critical realism did much to establish Ballantyne as an author with “social interests”, as did his own assertion that a writer is “an investigator of human existence” who “must try to understand the way in which average people live out their time”. Ballantyne was one of several new writers deemed to be the “sons” of Frank Sargeson, capable of developing the line of realism established by the latter’s short stories that appeared between 1935 and 1945. Yet, in spite of his early promise, Ballantyne’s career as a fiction writer failed to take off, partly because of a long period of alcoholism, and partly because of the direction he took in his subsequent fiction. If his first novel answered literary nationalism’s need for an authentic depiction of local life, then Sydney Bridge Upside Down (1968), with its gestures towards the non-realist modes of fairy tale and gothic, was almost guaranteed to remain outside the body of writing understood to constitute “New Zealand literature”. Yet, by combining aspects of realist with non-realist modes, the novel creates a mythologized version of New Zealand society in which threats associated with sexuality take on nightmarish, almost elemental forms that are far more effective in terms of representing the ways in which New Zealand society can damage the individual than social realism. | [
