Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background Hemophilia A is an X-linked inherited bleeding disorder caused by a deficiency of clotting factor VIII (FVIII). It is treated by infusion of FVIII clotting factor concentrate with dosing based primarily on bodyweight. Previous studies evaluating perioperative dosing strategies in hemophilia conclude that improvement with regard to consumption of clotting factor concentrates is possible. However, the magnitude and complexity of the problem has not yet been addressed. Moreover, guidelines to optimize treatment have been lacking. Methods In a retrospective multicenter study, we evaluated perioperative management in hemophilia A patients with clotting factor VIII (FVIII) plasma levels below 0.05 IUml-1 by quantification of perioperative infusion of clotting factor concentrate and achieved FVIII plasma levels, while exploring possible modifiers of clotting factor concentrate consumption. Results Data was collected in a total of 198 surgical procedures in 119 patients; 75 adults (140 surgical procedures; median age: 48 years; median weight: 80 kg) and 44 children (58 surgical procedures; median age: 4 years; median weight: 19 kg). In adults, mainly medium risk surgical procedures (n=86; 61%) were performed, which were most often orthopedic procedures (n=91; 65%). Children mainly underwent low risk surgical procedures (n=47; 81%), most frequently an insertion or removal of a central venous device (n=31; 53%). The median duration of hospitalization in adults and children was respectively nine (IQR 5-14) and seven (IQR 6-10) days; p=0.09. The median amount of clotting factor concentrate infused per surgical procedure was 26,100 IU (69 IUkg-1day-1). Depending on post-operative day, 67-81% of achieved FVIII plasma levels were outside of the predefined target range recommended by National Hemophilia Consensus. Moreover, 45% of FVIII plasma levels were below target range between 0-24 hours after surgery with the median deviation below the lowest required target level of 0.17 IUml-1. More than six days after surgery, 75% of the FVIII plasma levels were above target range with the median deviation above the highest target level of 0.31 IUml-1. No significant difference in frequency of under dosing or overdosing was demonstrated in adults or children. Neither was mode of administration of replacement therapy (continuous or bolus), or type of surgical procedure (low or medium risk), significantly related with under dosing or overdosing (Figure 1A-D). Moreover, under dosing was not correlated with clinical bleeding and overdosing did not lead to observed cases of vascular thrombosis. Overall, in this study population the total amount of clotting factor concentrate under dosed amounted to 422,000 IU and overdosed amounted to 3,320,300 IU, when calculated using the median deviation of achieved FVIII levels in comparison to the predefined target range and an in vivo recovery of 2.0 IUml-1 per 1 IUkg-1, a crude median half-life of FVIII concentrate of 12 hours and an overall median hospitalization period of nine days. Importantly, a reduction of clotting factor concentrate consumption of approximately 49% would have been realized if predefined plasma target levels could have been achieved. Conclusion Targeting of clotting FVIII levels in the perioperative setting is complex and forms a “moving target” for treating professionals. Optimization of dosing strategies by construction of algorithms with minimization of both under dosing and overdosing is obligatory to improve quality of care with a reduction of bleeding risk, a possible decrease of clotting factor concentrate consumption and potential cost reduction of treatment.

The H.A.D.-scale was originally used as a screening test for assessing the presence of clinically significant degrees of anxiety and depression. It has also been used as a measuring instrument outside hospital care. The main questions in this study are: l) Do the test items fit a sample of non-clinical persons? 2) Are the two subscales of Depression and Anxiety homogeneous? In total 163 persons answered the questionnaire. Two factor analyses are reviewed, a two factor solution and a four factor solution. The two factor solution did not split the items in the way originally intended. A four factor analysis with three interpreted factors gave a better solution. The analysis leads us to recommend great caution when interpreting the H.A.D.-scale, especially when used in a population outside of hospital care.

Full textAbstract:
博士<br>國立政治大學<br>亞太研究英語博士學位學程(IDAS)<br>106<br>The Republic of China (ROC) is at the epicenter of two of the most intractable disputes of our time: the dispute over the Senkaku/Diaoyutai Islands with China and Japan, and the territorial and maritime disputes in the South China Sea with Brunei, China, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Vietnam. These disputes have been considered as two potential volatile flashpoints in the contemporary international arena and have sparked massive public nationalistic demonstrations around East and Southeast Asia. They have their official origins in the 1930s in the South China Sea and immediately after the World War II in the East China Sea. The claims were articulated by the Nationalist government (Kuomintang) of the Republic of China while in power in mainland China and kept after its retreat to the island of ROC. The claims have different scopes and natures given their origins, the number of competing claimants and area demanded. In the East China Sea, the area claimed involves the Diaoyutai Islands and the interpretation of their ownership based on treaties and documents signed by Japan after its surrender in 1945.
Using qualitative research method, this study aims to contribute by offering a clear assessment of the drivers behind of ROC’s foreign diplomatic policies towards the maritime and territorial disputes which it is currently involved. Specifically, the goal is to examine the key factors that shaped the Ma Ying-geou’s foreign policies to the maritime disputes in East and South China Sea during his two terms as president from 2008 to 2016. Ultimately, it aims to identify what factors and players at each level of analysis best explain the diplomatic policies proposed and implemented by Ma Ying-jeou towards the maritime disputes.

CRF is well known and studied as a hypothalamic-releasing factor. It, along with ACTH and cortisol, are mobilized under diverse conditions, including adversity, and are often thought of as part of the stress axis. CRF, however, is much more than this. One aim of this book is pushing the conception of CRF beyond the HPA axis, and what most people know about CRF. Since its original discovery, research has shown that this molecule is much broader than a hypothalamic-releasing factor. It took a while to discern CRF and its properties outside of its role as an ACTH-releasing factor. Now, the scientific community knows that CRF is a dynamic and diversely widespread peptide hormone with many roles and functions, beyond its role as a releasing factor in the brain. CRF in invertebrates is linked to basic regulatory functions such as osmotic regulation, food intake, learning, and circadian rhythmicity.

Full textAbstract:
Most of the energy used by buildings goes into heating and cooling. For small buildings, such as houses, heat transfer by conduction through the sides is as much as, if not greater than, the heat transfer from air exchanges with the outside. For large buildings, such as offices and factories, the greater volume-to-surface ratio means that air exchanges are more significant. Lights, people and equipment can make significant contributions. Since the energy used depends on the difference in temperature between the inside and the outside, local climate is the most important factor that determines energy use. If heating is required, it is usually more efficient to use a heat pump than to directly burn a fossil fuel. Using diffuse daylight is always more energy efficient than lighting up a room with artificial lights, although this will set a limit on the size of buildings.

This chapter provides a history of nuns in Venice and its lagoon, including a discussion of secular and ecclesiastical regulation of nuns by the designated magistracy, the Provveditori sopra Monasteri, and the Patriarch of Venice and Bishop of Torcello, the nuns’ relationship with the outside world, and efforts to reform their behavior. It explores the role of nuns in Venetian society, focusing on the significant majority who were from the ruling patrician class and the effects of this factor on their musical lives. The physical layout of nunneries is considered, as are internal governance, finances, and record-keeping. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the methodology the author developed for dealing with the large number of institutions over several centuries for which the archives are often very fragmentary.

While governments attributed the retention of capital punishment to the threat posed by the IRA, simultaneously they railed at the ineffectiveness of the ordinary courts. The jury had long been vulnerable to outside influences, whether this involved its packing with members supportive of the authorities or its intimidation by subversive elements. A complicating factor, especially in political crimes, was sympathy for perpetrators which could translate into a reluctance to convict. Sometimes the state dispensed with judges and juries and set up special tribunals, staffed initially by army officers, to ensure that prosecutions were secured, and enemies dispatched. The work of these extraordinary courts—the military courts, the Special Criminal Court, and the Special Powers Tribunal—is the focus of this chapter. The role of Seán MacBride and the cases of Seán McCaughey, George Plant, and Patrick McGrath, among others, are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Gender was a critical factor in the Islamic tradition, especially in its law. That law was shaped by the Qur'an, the practice of Muhammad and his companions as known through hadith, the status of women in Arabia at the rise of Islam, but even more by the customs and attitudes of people living in those regions outside Arabia conquered by the early Muslim Arabs. From them, Muslims adopted practices segregating and secluding women. These practices and the misogynist attitudes behind them confirmed in Islamic law a gendered hierarchy of rights, although particular social circumstances might mitigate the full implementation of that hierarchy. Within the family women might play important, even decisive roles, although in public spheres such as politics their formal role was considerably more restricted. Interestingly, however, specifically religious spheres such as mystical devotion and education provided meaningful channels for women's participation.

Full textAbstract:
Whether or not a blockade can be lawfully conducted during a civil war is an issue of contention. Under the traditional concept of the law of armed conflict, blockades could only be conducted by the naval forces of belligerent states, thus making it legally impossible for a blockade to occur outside of an international armed conflict. The one exception to this rule was the doctrine of recognition of belligerency, under which either the state involved in a civil war, or a third state, recognized the belligerent status of the non-state party. Through analysis of the Geneva Conventions and case law from international criminal tribunals, it is argued that the doctrine of belligerency is no longer required, and that the existence of an armed conflict should be the determinative factor in considering whether or not a blockade can be undertaken during a civil war.

Gender is a factor of youth migration; it shapes the roles, capacities, access to resources, and cultural expectations in society. Gender defines who leaves and who stays behind in the place of origin, or the extent from which the youth travels outside of their own communities. This collection is possibly the first to present the intersection of gender and youth migration with encompassing themes related to imperial histories, negotiating identities, education, and work using diverse studies in Canada, France, Hungary, Bangladesh, Turkey, Italy, Albania, Ethiopia, U.K. and the U.S. Gendered modalities suggest that there are particular ways or modes in which gender as a system of power relations become manifest in youth migration, either voluntarily or coerced, and consequently, their negotiation of structures and limiting social practices.Gender and youth are intrinsically connected to migration, and this book is about these connections in multidisciplinary perspectives in an increasingly globalized world.

Japan’s post-Cold War security policy displays significant changes compared to the Cold War period. One critical change has been the incorporation of the Japanese military, known as the Self-Defence Force (SDF), as a legitimate and important tool of Japanese post-Cold War security policy practice. It has developed new roles both outside and within the US-Japan alliance to contribute to regional/international security. The question is how the Japanese security policymaking elite has been able to bring about this critical change to the security policy practice in light of the domestic social and legal constraints that have traditionally prevented the expansion of Japan’s security role, in military terms, in regional and international affairs. This research introduces external military crises as an important factor for change in Japanese security policy. It argues that the Japanese security policymaking elite achieved security policy expansion by utilizing external military crises as policy windows, inflating and deflating threat elements to circumvent the constraints and justify the implementation of security policy initiatives. This utility of external military crises to widen the role of the Self-Defence Force (SDF) in shaping Japan’s security priorities, as well as its proactive contribution to regional/ international security are outlined in four key case studies - international peacekeeping in 1992, regional defence in 1997-99, global missions in 2003-05, and collective self-defence in 2014-15.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractTranscriptionally active HPV infection is recognized as a prognostic factor in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Also, p16 positivity has been established as an effective surrogate biomarker for HPV and shares its prognostic significance in cancer of the oropharynx. Less clear is the prognostic role of p16/HPV status in non-oropharyngeal head and neck cancers since relevant studies have produced conflicting results. The existing evidence suggests that p16 is a poor surrogate marker for HPV infection in non-oropharyngeal cancers, while the prognostic impact of HPV positivity is reserved for the oropharynx. Consequently, routine HPV testing is not recommended for disease sites of the head and neck outside oropharynx.

AbstractMillions of undocumented and irregular migrants live in the EU, and many more live in the countries outside of it. In Finland, the number of undocumented migrants has so far been rather small—up to a few thousand people. There are many kinds of undocumented migrants, but the common factor is that they reside in a country without the proper legal right to do so and their presence is not fully approved by that country’s authorities.This chapter presents the main findings of the research about the everyday lives of undocumented migrants in Finland, showing how these findings corresponded closely with the international academic literature and brought insight to the current discussion. The results are reflected in the broader EU context and beyond. Additionally, the chapter suggests promising research themes on the topic, as they emerged from the main findings.Research has already demonstrated that no country can expel all its undocumented migrants. The results of this study and earlier studies have also suggested the revision of immigration and asylum policies in the EU, including Finland, to create win-win situations for both undocumented migrants and the countries in which they reside.

This chapter analyses the rise of incidence in childbearing outside marriage. In the last quarter of the twentieth century, the percentage of births outside marriage rose from 9% in 1975 to 40% in 2000. This chapter shows that the major factor accounting for this change is the dramatic rise of cohabitation among young people. It then analyses why there has been widespread substitution of cohabiting unions for direct marriage in Britain. The chapter concludes with a discussion on the implications for changes in family life.

Why is there a demand for consultants and outside directors? That is because what they are asked for objective advice and the clue—this chapter describes them as external activate factors—is precious. This chapter focuses on how the external activate factor affects human creativity, especially the process of creating new products or services, and the author conducted an experiment to compare the effect of external activate factors at a lecture of graduate school. As a result, when the external activate factor is provided, the emergence of abduction and new rules was observed, and the effect of storytelling was confirmed. Further research is to find what kind of external activate factor is preferable.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this article is to assess the psychometric properties of the Standards Assessment Inventory (SAI) in order to confirm its construct validity using modern statistical procedures. The SAI is a 50-item assessment designed to measure the degree to which professional development programs align with seven factors related to “high quality” teacher learning (Learning Forward, 2011). These seven factors are Learning Communities, Leadership, Resources, Data, Learning Design, Implementation, and Outcomes. In their original evaluation of the factor structure of the SAI, Learning Forward (2011) tested one model containing all 50 items loading onto a single factor, and seven individual factor models, each containing one of the seven standards of professional development. To date there has been no published report related to the psychometric properties of a seven-factor model, which allows each of the seven standards to covary. The initial test of this model produced a poor fit, after which a series of modifications were attempted to improve the functioning of the SAI. After all meaningful modifications were added, the overall fit of the SAI was still outside of a range that would suggest a statistically valid measurement model. Suggestions for SAI modification and use are made as they relate to these findings.

Full textAbstract:
This concluding chapter addresses the Mississippi blues today and its future. Most of the great Mississippi blues artists have been replaced largely by blues artists in a new category, namely revivalists. The blues revival, characterized by an interest in and support for the music by people outside the traditional black community, was certainly a factor in Mississippi blues already in the mid-1980s in respect to research, recording, and the sponsorship of festivals and other performance venues, but at that time the revival more or less took artists as they had been performing in Mississippi black communities and presented them in new settings for new audiences. Now, thirty years later, there are many blues artists, both black and white, who have begun their performing careers with an orientation toward the blues revival audience. Another new factor is the appearance of blues families, that is, blues artists whose parents or grandparents were also blues artists.

Full textAbstract:
A rapidly changing business environment generates a growing demand for enterprises to understand their markets. Knowledge about markets is a strategic resource and enterprises are advised to invest in understanding their markets, competitors, and customers. Market orientation is widely studied as a concept describing how enterprises generate and respond to market knowledge. Market orientation is a cultural factor which we analyze in the framework of organizational culture. We examine market orientation as a cultural factor, as adopting a new type of culture inside and outside an organization can be particularly challenging for Small- and Medium-Enterprises (SMEs). SMEs have not been considered as very active participants in global business, where market knowledge is of utmost importance. For example, Keskin (2006) finds that market orientation is an antecedent of learning orientation in SMEs and market intelligence guides their learning processes. This chapter examines both theoretically and empirically how market orientation as a cultural factor is related to the internationalization processes of SMEs. This hopefully helps us to understand how SMEs can develop their businesses to a global level.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter compares the mainstream (mostly white) environmental movement and the subaltern (mostly minority) environmental movement in Austin in the 1980s and 199s. It argues that, while each group responded to similar issues like sense of place, health, community cohesion, and development, disparate histories led to very different conceptions of what constituted the environment for different the different groups. While whites tended to imagine the environment as something outside human society that humans sometimes used, minorities tended to imagine the environment as something that humans were squarely inside of and often as something that was a factor in discrimination. While both movements were largely successful in their own rights, they rarely found common ground.

Linear elastic fracture mechanics based flaw evaluation procedures in Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code require calculation of the stress intensity factor. Article A-3000 of Appendix A in ASME Section XI prescribes a method to calculate the stress intensity factor for a surface or subsurface flaw by making use of the flaw location stress distribution obtained in the absence of the flaw. The 2015 Edition of ASME Section XI implemented a number of significant improvements in Article A-3000, including closed-form equations for calculating stress intensity factor influence coefficients for circumferential flaws on the inside surface of cylinders. Closed-form equations for stress intensity factor influence coefficients for axial flaws on the inside surface of cylinders have also been developed. Ongoing improvement efforts for Article A-3000 include development of closed-form relations for the stress intensity factor coefficients for flaws on the outside surface of cylinders. The development of closed-form relations for stress intensity factor coefficients for axial flaws on the outside surface of cylinders is described in this paper.

Full textAbstract:
Gas turbine performances are directly related to outside conditions. The use of gas turbines in combined gas-steam power plants, also applied to cogeneration, increases performance dependence by outside conditions, because plants boundary conditions become more complex. In recent years, inlet air cooling systems have been introduced to control air temperature and humidity at compressor inlet resulting in an increase in plant power and efficiency. In this paper, the dependence of outside conditions for an existing cogenerative plant, located in Tuscany (Italy), is studied. The plant is equipped with two GE-LM6000 aeroderivative gas-turbines coupled with a three pressure level heat recovery steam generator, cogenerative application being related to the industrial district. The ambient temperature has been found to be the most important factor affecting the plant performance, but relative air humidity variation also has considerable effects. The field performance data are compared with a numerical simulation. The simulation results show a good agreement with the field performance data. The simulation allows evaluation of design and off-design plant performance and can become a useful tool to study the outside condition influence on power plant performance.

Flaws detected in nuclear power plant components during in-service inspections are typically evaluated based on stress intensity factor influence coefficient databases and solutions from industry standards and public literature (e.g. API-579, ASME Section XI Code, WRC-175 Bulletin, Raju-Newman, etc). For certain components in the Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) nuclear power plants, such as Bottom Mounted Instrumentation (BMI) nozzles, the cylindrical component geometry may fall outside the applicability limits of stress intensity factor influence coefficient databases. This situation occurs where the thickness to inner radius ratios of the cylindrical geometry is greater than 1.0. Accurate stress intensity factor (SIF) solutions are essential to flaw evaluation since the SIFs are used in the determination of both the allowable flaw size and crack growth in order to determine acceptability of the detected flaw. In this paper, stress intensity factor influence coefficients are generated based on a three-dimensional finite element analysis for axial flaws located on the inside surface and outside surface of a cylindrical component with thickness to inner radius ratios (t/Ri) of 1, 2, 4, & 6. Non-dimensional influence coefficients are determined at the deepest point of the crack front and the surface point of the flaw based on a 4th order polynomial fit for a through-wall stress profile. The influence coefficients are generated for semi-elliptical flaws with a/c ratios = 0.125 through 2; where a is depth of the elliptical flaw, and c is the half-length of the elliptical flaw. The influence coefficients developed are suitable for calculating stress intensity factors for cylindrical components with high thickness to inner radius ratios.

A CsI(T1) scintillation detector with a two-dimension position-sensitive photomultiplier readout at RIBLL is developed. The position resolution of the detector was obtained with RIB 17N, and the performance of detector was simulated by using GEANT4. The simulation results accorded with the experimental ones. The reflection factor of the aluminum foil outside the scintillator plays an important role on the position resolution.

Full textAbstract:
In this study Stress Intensification Factor (“SIF”) and stress analysis for core to jacket joints are investigated. The three-dimensional finite element shell model consists of two shells: the jacket and the core. The effect of the welded joint discontinuity is taken into account by applying a stress concentration factor. It is presumed that the core and shell are ASTM A-106 GR B [1]. The joint is modeled for different pipe-outside diameters and wall-thicknesses and SIF is calculated for different Head shapes, which are discussed further in this paper. The model is examined with different mesh types and the results are discussed. Temperature gradient in pipe wall-thickness causes thermal stress. The thermal stress, combined with operating, sustained and differential expansion stress are considered in the stress analysis of core and jacket shell. The results for different temperature gradients are compared. The imposed displacement loads caused by global temperature difference between core and the jacket are taken from a beam model run of a typical discontinuous steam jacketed piping system.

Full textAbstract:
In designing a bolted joint consisting of dissimilar hollow cylinders, the load factor (the ratio of an increment in axial bolt force to an external tensile load) is important. In the present paper, the effect of the load application point, the ratio b/a of the outside diameter to the inside diameter of dissimilar hollow cylinders, Young’s modulus ratio between the dissimilar hollow cylinders on the load factor and the interface stress distribution are examined using FEM calculations. As a result, it is found that the values of the load factor decrease as the ratio b/a increases and the positions where the load application point approaches the interfaces while the value of the load factor is independent of the bolt preload. In addition, it is found that the value of the load factor is less than 0.1 for steel and steel hollow cylinder joints, it is less than 0.2 for aluminum and aluminum hollow cylinder joints and it is less than 0.15 for aluminum and steel hollow cylinder joints while the material of bolt is steel in the present study. For verification of the FEM calculations, experiments to measure the load factor and a load when the interfaces start to separate were carried out. The FEM results are in a fairly good agreement with the experimental results. Finally, based on the obtained results, a design method for bolted joints with dissimilar hollow cylinders is demonstrated for determining the nominal bolt diameter and the bolt strength grade.

Molten salt reactor (MSR) system, a candidate of the Generation IV reactors, has inherent safety, on-line refueling and good neutron economy as typical advantages. An optimized MSR is developed by changing the size of fuel channel and the graphite-to-molten salt volume radio, based on the Molten-Salt Reactor Experiment (MSRE), which was originally developed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). In this paper, shielding calculations for the optimized MSR are presented. The goal of this study is to determine the necessary shielding to decrease the neutron and gamma dose rate to the acceptable level according to national regulations. The operating temperature of the optimized MSR is designed in the range of 500 °C–700 °C, heat removal is also considered in the shielding design. The shielding calculations are carried out by using Monte Carlo method. The shielding system of the optimized MSR consists of 7 zones: the core, the core can, the reactor vessel, the thermal shield, the reactor cell containment, the shield tank and the concrete wall. The combinations of shielding materials in the thermal shield were evaluated. The thermal shield filled with carbon steel balls and circulating water gets an excellent shielding performance and heat removing effects. The neutron spectra and dose distributions, as well as the energy deposition over different shields have been analyzed. The total neutron dose rate outside the thermal shield is attenuated by a factor of about 104, and the gamma dose rate by a factor of about 103. These results show that the shielding design could low dose rate to an acceptable level outside the shielding and far below dose limit required.

Full textAbstract:
Vapor condensation on silicon nanotubes has been simulated by classical molecular dynamics to understand how the nucleation and condensation process for pores is affected. Two different nanotube aspect ratios were examined to see if there are growth rate changes. The rate for the two different types of nanotubes did not show significant variation meaning that the aspect ratio is an insignificant factor to enhance condensation. This result is consistent with previous nanorod studies. The supersaturated vapor gathered both inside and outside of the tube. Unlike the growth rate, however, the occurrence of homogeneous nucleation was hindered contrary to other basic geometries in previous studies.

Linear elastic fracture mechanics based flaw evaluation procedures in Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code require calculation of the stress intensity factor (KI). The 2015 Edition of ASME Section XI [1] implemented a number of significant improvements in Article A-3000, including closed-form equations for calculating stress intensity factor influence coefficients (Gi) for circumferential flaws on the inside surface of cylinders. In the 2017 Edition [2], closed-form equations for axial flaws on the inside and outside surfaces of cylinders have been implemented. In this paper, closed-form equations are developed for circumferential cracks on the OD surface of cylinders, based on tabular data from API 579 (2007 Edition) [3]. The equations presented, represent a complete set of Ri/t, a/t, and a/ℓ ratios. The closed-form equations provide G0 and G1 coefficients while G2 through G4 are obtained using a weight function representation for the KI solutions for a surface crack. These equations permit the calculation of the Gi coefficients without the need to perform tabular interpolation. The equations are complete up to a fourth order polynomial representation of the applied stress. The fourth-order representation for stress will allow for more accurate fitting of highly non-linear stress distributions, such as those depicting high thermal gradients and weld residual stress fields.
