Abstract:
Background:Sjogren’s syndrome (SS) is a chronic progressive autoimmune disorder which occurs as primary (pSS) or secondary SS (sSS). With no approved disease modifying therapy, there is limited information on the treatment patterns and resource utilization among these patients (pts).Objectives:To describe pts characteristics, treatment patterns and healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) using electronic health records (EHR) of pts with pSS and sSS treated at the Providence St. Josephs Health system (PSJH).Methods:Pts ≥18 years of age with at least one clinical encounter with ICD-9-CM or ICD-10-CM diagnosis of SS, between Jan 2013 and Mar 2019 were included. Date of first encounter with SS diagnosis (index date) was used to assess pts demographics. Pt baseline comorbidities were evaluated during the 24 months pre-index period. Treatment patterns and HCRU were assessed during the 12 months post-index follow-up. Descriptive statistics were used to describe pts’ demographic and clinical characteristics, and medications use in the baseline and follow up.Results:Study cohort included 9,108 SS pts of which 76.5% had sSS diagnosis on index date. Majority of SS pts were women, Caucasian, with mean age of 58.3 yrs, and from western states in the US (Table 1). Endocrine conditions including hypo- and hyperthyroidism, and diabetes was the most common (45.5%) comorbidity at baseline, followed by rheumatologic disorders (25.6%) and neurological conditions (22.2%). Among patients with treatment information (4088, 44.88%), 42.95% were using symptomatic treatments for dry eye and mouth at baseline (Table 1). In the follow-up, SS pts had average 5.8 healthcare visits per patient per year (PPPY), including 0.6 inpatient and 3.4 outpatient visit respectively. About 40% of the SS pts (53.8% pSS and 35.8% sSS) were diagnosed by rheumatologists. Majority of the SS pts initiated treatment with cDMARDs (82%) and remained on the same treatment during 1 year follow-up (Fig 2).Table 1.Baseline Demographic and Clinical Pts CharacteristicsSS Pts (n=9,108)DemographicsAge (years) on index date, mean (SD)58.3 (15.1)Female, n (%)8,338 (91.6)Caucasian, n (%)6.936 (76.2)Western Region, n (%)8,998 (98.8)Married, n (%)5,164 (56.7)Never Smoked, n (%)4,847 (53.2)Primary diagnosis, n (%)2,137 (23.5)Comorbidities, n (%)Cardiovascular1,408 (17.2)Endocrine3,733 (45.5)Oncology800 (9.8)Blood disorders1,221 (14.9)Pulmonary1,802 (22.0)Neurological1,821 (22.2)Liver/Kidney1,782 (21.7)Rheumatologic disorders2,096 (25.6)Autoimmune/ Immune related1,527 (18.6)Baseline Medications, n (%)Symptomatic11,756 (43.0)NSAIDs21,578 (38.6)cDMARDs31,435 (35.1)Corticosteroid41,393 (34.1)bDMARDs5266 (6.5)1cevimeline, pilocarpine hydrochloride, ophthalmic insert etc;2aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen;3methotrexate, hydroxychloroquine, sulfasalazine, leflunomide, myophenolate mofetil, azathioprine;4prednisone;5sarilumab, belimumab, ustekinumab, infliximab, adalimumab, certolizumab pegol, golimumab, etanercept, abatacept, tocilizumab, rituximab, tofacitinib, baricitinibFigure 1.HCRU for pSS and sSS PtsFigure 2.Treatment Sequencing for pSS and sSS Pts.

Abstract:
Aim. To conduct a detailed study of the requirements of good distribution practice. Materials and methods. The analysis of the current Guidelines on good practices (GxP), in particular the Guideline ST-N 42-5.0:2014 of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine “Medicines. Good Distribution Practice” was performed. Interpretations for the implementation of the requirements of good distribution practice based on the experience of audits of distribution companies for GDP compliance with the requirements were proposed. Results and discussion. The dependence of the correct distribution of medicines on the personnel involved in this process has been studied, and the negative impact on the activity of a wholesale pharmaceutical company in case of non-compliance by the personnel with the relevant requirements has been determined. The benefits and risks that may arise during the distribution of medicines related to the staff have been identified. The requirements for the Authorized (Responsible) Person, the knowledge and experience that he must possess have been determined. The job description of the Authorized (Responsible) Person has been considered in detail. The responsibilities of the Authorized Person of a distribution company are listed. Conclusions. The detailed analysis proposed will minimize the risks and errors that can lead to a negative impact on the quality of medicines. The appointment of the Authorized Person of a distribution company, the requirements imposed on him, the knowledge and experience that the Authorized Person must possess have been studied in detail. The advantages and risks of the personnel management of a distribution company have been identified.

Abstract:
The introduction of artificial intelligence in any sphere of human activity today occurs at an accelerated pace. Recruiting is no exception. Is artificial intelligence able to force out selection specialists and self-interview a candidate? How do job seekers react to being interviewed by a robot, not a person? Is it possible to completely exclude a person from the personnel selection process and shift all functions to artificial intelligence? Let’s try to answer the questions posed in this article. The study analyzes the results of introducing a startup from the St. Petersburg company Stafory, which developed and introduced Vera, a robot recruiter, into the Russian and foreign HR market. The characteristic of modern software for recruiting and programs for recruitment agencies is given. The main advantages of using artificial intelligence in the system of mass recruitment of large trading companies are described.

Abstract:
This article highlights that by using a standard that enables complete product model data to be transmitted digitally, a company can build open systems to make information available on many platforms throughout its operations. The world of CAD/CAM has viewed the International Graphics Exchange Standard (IGES) as its translation standard for years, using the system to move two-dimensional models from one program to another. While IGES does, in fact, do a good job of transmitting basic geometry, another translator—the Standard for the Exchange of Product Data (STEP) —has been gaining on IGES in popularity. STEP goes considerably further than just transmitting geometry; it provides users with the ability to express and exchange digitally useful product information throughout a product's life cycle, including design, analysis, manufacturing, and support. In short, IGES transmits two-dimensional drawings, while STEP transmits complete product models. The updated schema, consisting of an ASCII file written in EXPRESS, is simply run through a utility that merges the extensions that have been added by Unigraphics with the standard ST-Developer libraries. Updating the translator to incorporate an upgraded version of the libraries is just as easy.

Abstract:
ObjectivesThis study aims to identify an association between potential risk factors and risk of hematological malignancies, especially for Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL) and leukemia, among Korean semiconductor workers.MethodsWe collected 54 cases who ever worked over 30 days at a Korean semiconductor manufacturing company and were diagnosed as NHL (ICD-10 codes: C82–C85) and leukemia (C91–C95) from January 1 st 1998 to December 31 st 2017. A total of 324 controls, frequency matched by age and sex (1:6 ratios) with no diagnosis of hematological malignancies, were randomly selected. The information on work history, occupational exposure and medical examination data was also collected for the study analysis. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to estimate odds ratios (ORs) after adjusting age, sex, education, employment year, smoking, alcohol and body mass index.ResultsNo significant association between hematological malignancies and occupational risk factors, including job title, cleanroom work and occupational exposures, was observed. As for leukemia, however, ORs were significantly increased by natural immunity to hepatitis B virus (HBV) [HBsAg(-), HBsAb(+), HBcAb(+)] (OR=11.92, 95% confidential interval 1.05–135.89) and a past or current (ever) HBV infection [HBsAg(+/-), HBsAb(+/-), HBcAb(+)] (6.52, 1.51–28.10). Furthermore, ORs for NHL were also significantly increased by insufficient serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] (12–20 ng/mL) (10.67, 1.27–89.53) and deficient 25(OH)D levels (<12 ng/mL) (12.22, 1.37–109.16) (p<0.05).ConclusionsRisk of hematological malignancies was not associated with occupational risk factors but significantly elevated by two factors, such as HBV infection and insufficient or deficient 25(OH)D level. A longitudinal cohort study is needed to confirm the association between these risk factors and cancers.

Abstract:
Emotions are a fundamental part of mental health and human behavior. In the workplace, optimal performance of employees is necessary for productivity enhancements and its relation to the quality of a manufacturing product, therefore leading a company to advantages and competitiveness. This means that the workplace staff must remain in a neutral or a calm emotional state, for an adequate job performance. When an operation is not pleasant or the same task is carried out for a long period of time (repetitive), it can cause negative emotions such as stress, and this will have repercussions in poor work performance. The purpose of this research is, by means of an electroencephalogram (EEG), to identify the stress in the repetitive assembly of a manufacturing product. To measure brain waves, the Emotiv Epoc equipment was used and a manufacturing line was designed, divided into three workstations, where the assembly of product comprising a LEGO car was carried out within a manual repetitive approach. The appearance of stress was determined by employing two different methodologies, the prefrontal relative gamma marker (RG) and the valence, arousal, and dominance (VAD) emotional categories. The results obtained from the first methodology, corresponding to the RG marker, displayed a significant more change between the relaxation state and the product assembly carried out at 70% of the standard time (ST). A less significant change was observed between the relaxation state and the product assembly carried out at 100% ST, thus signaling the presence of stress. Additionally, the results from the VAD methodology resulted in moderate and low levels of stress, when the product assembly was carried out at 70% and 100% standard time, respectively.

Abstract:
Somatic cells in semen could be a valuable source of nuclei for cloning animals by somatic cell nuclear transfer, especially when other ways of obtaining somatic cells are not available. The usefulness of the cells cultured from bovine semen for nuclear transfer was evaluated in the present study. Twelve ejaculates were collected from nine bulls representing three breeds: Charolais, Brahman, and a crossbreed rodeo bull. All of the samples were processed immediately, and somatic cells were isolated by centrifuging through 20%, 50%, and 90% percoll columns (Nel-Themaat et al. 2005 Reprod. Fertil. Dev. 17, 314–315). Somatic cell lines were obtained from 7 of the 12 ejaculates. These cell lines have classic epithelial morphology, express cytokeratin and vimentin, and proliferate well in the medium we previously designed for the epithelial cells in ovine semen (Jie Liu et al. 2007 Biol. Reprod. special issue, 177–178). Cell lines from three bulls that had been cultured in vitro for 1–2 months were used in the cloning experiments. Bovine ovaries were collected from a local slaughterhouse and transported to the laboratory in warm saline solution within 2–4 h. Compact cumulus–oocyte complexes with evenly distributed cytoplasm were selected and matured for 18 h at 38.5�C with 5% CO2 in humidified air. Cumulus cells were removed by pipetting in 0.3% hyaluronidase solution (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO, USA) for 5 min. Oocytes were selected for the presence of a first polar body and stained in 5 µg mL–1 Hoechst 33342 (Sigma) and 5 µg mL–1 cytochalasin B (Sigma) for 10–15 min before enucleation. Successful enucleation was confirmed by brief exposure of the oocytes to ultraviolet light. Epithelial cell lines cultured to 90–100% confluence were trypsinized, and a single cell was inserted into the perivitelline space of an oocyte. Fusion was induced by applying two 1.8–1.9 kV cm–1, 20 µs direct-current pulses delivered by an Eppendorf Multiporator (Eppendorf, North America) in fusion medium comprising 0.28 m Mannitol (Sigma), 0.1 mm CaCl2 (Sigma), and 0.1 mm MgSO4 (Sigma). One and half to 2 h post fusion, activation was induced by applying two 0.3 kV cm–1, 55 µs direct-current pulses in the fusion medium, followed by incubation in 10 µg mL–1 cycloheximide (Sigma) and 5 µg mL–1 cytochalasin B for 5 h in a humidified 5% CO2, 5% O2, and 90% N2 gas mixture at 38.5�C. The embryos were washed three times and cultured in commercially available G1/G2 medium (Vitrolife, Inc., Englewood, CO, USA) for up to 10 days. Blastocyst development rates using somatic cells from three of the bulls, 1-year-old Charolais, 6-year-old Brahman, and 8-year-old Brahman, were 15.9% (18/113), 34.5% (29/84), and 14.4% (13/90) of the fused one-cell embryos, respectively. Of these blastocyst stage embryos, 38.9% (7/18), 72.4% (21/29), and 61.5% (8/13) hatched, respectively. The present study shows that epithelial cells cultured from bovine semen can be used to produce blastocyst-stage embryos by somatic cell nuclear transfer.

Abstract:
In the spring of 1791,Waldemar joins the French colonists already at Gallipolis, Ohio Territory, hitching a ride on the boats transporting soldiers down the Ohio River to fight the Indians. He was fortunate not to continue the journey past Gallipolis, for it would culminate in the disaster known as St. Clair's Defeat, in which 97% of the Americans are killed or wounded. Unlike the other colonists, Waldemar owns no land at Gallipolis; in fact, they only thought they had ownership, having been swindled by Joel Barlow and company back in France. He is assigned to be an "Indian spy," tasked with scouring the woods daily for signs of Indian presence. Actually, the Indians intentionally spare the French but repeatedly attack the American settlers, including Daniel Boone and his family, at nearby Point Pleasant, Virginia (now West Virginia). Life is hard for Waldemar, as he waits for Charlotte to arrive. The travails of the colony are recorded in two newspaper and magazine articles the Mentelles later wrote, one of which has remained unknown to historians until now.

Abstract:
Alexey Vladimirovich Ivanov, a twenty-something computer geek from Chelyabinsk, Russia, in the Ural Mountains, earned his living hacking the computer networks of American companies. After breaking into a firm’s servers, he would contact it on behalf of “The Expert Group of Protection Against Hackers” and demand thousands of dollars in exchange for tips on how to plug its security holes. One Connecticut company that initially refused to pay received this e-mail from Ivanov:… now imagine please Somebody hack you network (and not notify you about this), he download Atomic software with more then 300 merchants, transfer money, and after this did ‘rm -rf/’ [a Unix command that deletes directories] and after this you company be ruined. I don’t want this, and because this i notify you about possible hack in you network, if you want you can hire me and im allways be check security in you network. What you think about this?... If a firm did not comply with his unsubtle threats, Ivanov would delete its computer files or post its customers’ credit card information on the Web. Not surprisingly, most firms gave in to the extortion. When FBI officials became aware of Ivanov’s scams, they sought help from the Russian police. But as Brendan Koerner explained, “The Russian interior ministry’s ‘Department R,’ which fights cybercrime, can barely keep up with the kontoras in St. Petersburg and Moscow, much less police a distant outpost like Chelyabinsk.” So the FBI took matters into its own hands. Under the guise of a fictional American Internet security firm called “Invita,” the FBI invited Ivanov to the United States to audition for a job identifying flaws in the networks of potential Invita clients. When Ivanov arrived, undercover agents asked him to prove his ability to break into computer networks. Unbeknownst to Ivanov, the FBI was using a “sniffer” keystroke recording program to learn the usernames and passwords for his computers in Russia. After the audition, the FBI arrested Ivanov and, using his usernames and passwords, downloaded incriminating information from his computer in Russia—information later used to convict him.

Abstract:
Chapter 5 presents the range of material resources that Walker gifted to black individuals and organizations as an expression of her gospel of giving. Administered by her legal adviser, Freeman B. Ransom, these gifts reflected Walker’s philanthropic motivations during a period of significant financial growth for her company in the early 1910s. Drawing insights from the types of gifts given and the kinds and locations of recipients supported, the chapter demonstrates how black women’s philanthropy moved through black communities around the country. As a result, social needs were met, and a national infrastructure of organizations and networks was gradually constructed to navigate the debilitating effects of Jim Crow, and, eventually, dismantle the institution. The chapter presents four categories of giving by Walker: monetary, tangible nonmonetary items, employment, and institution building. It considers organizations she funded such as the colored branch of the YMCA and black schools and social services agencies, which were typically run by black women. Walker also engaged in criminal justice advocacy by funding attainment of pardons for black men jailed for murder. The geography of Walker’s giving emphasizes the importance of the cities of St. Louis, Missouri, and Indianapolis, Indiana, in her life story, as she maintained philanthropic commitments in those cities throughout her lifetime and afterward through her estate. The chapter examines Walker’s affinity for those cities and contrasts her gospel of giving, which emphasized the joy experienced in giving, with the larger scientific philanthropy movement of the era, which promoted rationalism over emotions in giving.

"Versatile and enduring, Lauren Shuler Donner stands among the leading producers working in Hollywood today. Her movies have resonated critically and commercially—raking in billions at the box ofce worldwide—while several also have become dening lms of their particular decade. Shuler Donner’s rst feature lm, comedy Mr. Mom (1983), developed from an original idea by writer John Hughes, was a break-out success and helped launch both Hughes’ and actor Michael Keaton’s movie careers. She went on to produce 1980s favorites such as Joel Schumacher’s St. Elmo’s Fire (1985), Hughes’ Pretty in Pink (1986), and Ladyhawke (1985). The latter, starring Michelle Pfeiffer, was directed by her then husband-to-be, Richard Donner, with whom she now runs production shop The Donners’ Company. In the 1990s, with a producer deal at Warner Bros., Shuler Donner made political comedy Dave with director Ivan Reitman, and also produced whale adventure movie Free Willy (which spawned sequels and a TV series). Both lms were box-ofce highlights of 1993. They were followed by more standouts, including Nora Ephron’s romantic comedy You’ve Got Mail (1998), starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks, and Oliver Stone’s football drama Any Given Sunday (1999). Among Shuler Donner’s executive producer credits is Warren Beatty’s hip-hop political satire Bulworth (1998). In the next decade, Shuler Donner ramped up the comic book-based X-Men franchise, which has yielded multiple sequels and spin-offs for Twentieth Century Fox. The producer also managed to work on movies such as Southern period drama The Secret Life of Bees (2008) and family comedy Hotel for Dogs (2009). Entering her fourth decade as a lm producer, Shuler Donner has various projects percolating. Among them, an X-Men: First Class sequel, as well as The Wolverine (2013), starring Hugh Jackman."
