Intralabyrinthine Mri Flair As A Predictive Marker For Hearing Loss In Vestibular Schwannomas In Neurofibromatosis Type 2, Robert L. Walker, Maxwell T. Laws, H. Jeffrey Kim, Christopher Zalewski, Ashok Asthagiri, Sruthi Ranganathan, Christina Hayes, John D. Heiss, John A. Butman, Prashant Chittiboina

Department of Radiation Oncology Faculty Papers

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The onset of hearing loss due to vestibular schwannomas (VS) is inevitable but does not correlate with the size of the tumor. In patients with Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2) and VS, we previously found an association between pre-contrast fluid-attenuated inversion recovery magnetic resonance imaging (FLAIR MRI) signal in the labyrinth and hearing loss. Here, we asked whether FLAIR hyper-intensity could serve as a predictive biomarker for hearing loss in NF2 patients with VS.

METHODS: A prospective longitudinal study (NCT00598351) of NF2 enrolled 168 subjects between 2008 and 2013. This study included 34 patients with small VS (total …

Blockchain Adoption In Thailand’S Elections: Perspectives, Limitations, And The Proposed Tberm Model, Charm Peeraphirom, Waiwit Chanwimalueng

Jurnal Wacana Politik

This study assesses Thailand’s readiness for blockchain-based elections by utilizing qualitative methods and semi-structured interviews with five experts in law, technology, economics, and administration. The data were analyzed through the dimensions of privacy, accessibility, transparency, security, and scalability. Findings reveal that while blockchain enhances integrity, significant barriers exist including insufficient transaction throughput, high costs, voter coercion risks, and limited digital literacy. Legal gaps regarding the PDPA also hinder adoption. Consequently, the study proposes the Thailand Blockchain Election Readiness Model (TBERM) which is a hybrid framework integrating blockchain auditing with physical polling units to mitigate security and accessibility concerns. The results …

Collaborative Compliance: A Consortium-Based Framework For Achieving 21 Cfr Part 11 Readiness In Redcap Across Ctsa Institutions, Theresa Baker, Katie Keenoy, Et Al.

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Academic research institutions using REDCap often face challenges aligning with U.S. FDA requirements for electronic records and signatures under 21 CFR Part 11 (Part 11). A National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences(NCATS) working group developed an implementation guide for Part 11 compliance in REDCap. Within six months after release, 259 individuals representing 164 institutions accessed the guide. Individuals who downloaded the guide reported reduced vendor reliance, improved documentation, and establishment Part 11-ready REDCap instances. This working group demonstrated how collaboration between technical and regulatory experts at many peer institutions is effective in improving regulatory compliance across the research enterprise.

Jurnal Ilmu Ternak Universitas Padjadjaran

In this study, GIS-based land suitability analysis is used to optimize the cultivation of forage for goat production in Limapuluh Kota Regency, West Sumatra. We assessed five important forages—cassava, Calliandra calothyrsus, Gliricidia sepium, Sesbania grandiflora, and Leucaena leucocephala—by incorporating a multi-criteria evaluation (including slope, soil characteristics, and climate conditions). Results show clear agroecological niches: cassava flourishes extensively, even on marginal lands, C. calothyrus and G. sepium need specific adaptations to soil and climate, Sesbania grandiflora excels as a high-protein choice in various zones, whereas Leucaena leucocephala requires strict geographic targeting. Processing protocols (sun-drying, co-feeding) and species-specific …

Jurnal Ilmu Ternak Universitas Padjadjaran

The availability of dairy cow milk in Indonesia is still insufficient to meet domestic needs, one of which is caused by the declining dairy cow population due to infectious diseases, namely FMD (Foot and Mouth Disease). Not only does it cause economic losses, FMD also results in a decline in the reproductive status of dairy cows. To assess whether a cow's productivity level is good or not, it can be determined quantitatively by calculating several reproductive efficiency parameters, namely Service per Conception (S/C), Conception Rate (CR) and Pregnancy Rate (PR). The aim of this research is to describe the reproductive …

The Translation Of The Oriental Tale: The Translator Has A Decisive Cultural Role, Khalid Hammoumi

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

The reformulation of the original Arabic text by the 18th and 19th century French translator testifies to this translator’s commitments to the Arabic original as well as to his future French-speaking audience. It is indeed a text determined by a number of constituent elements, whether in form, style or substance, ideas which naturally follow the culture and the environment. To illustrate these ideas, we treat the case of the translation of Thousand and One Nights. Antoine Galland, the orientalist scholar and the first French translator of these oriental tales.

Translation Of Media Terminology: Strategies And Problems, Ouafae Benzina

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

This study is a reflection on the problem of translating media terminology. This is an area in which profusion of terminology is considerably given its accelerated development. Indeed, the progress that characterizes this field leads to the appearance of neologisms whose transposition into French is most often an extremely complicated task. Technological advances and the speed with which they develop have created a huge need for terminology. We, therefore, propose in our contribution to deal with strategies for translating media terminology and its problems

Cultural Development /Culture Of Development, Abdelkader Bezzazi

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

Since the current debate situates the concepts of heritage and development within an academic framework, it is essential to examine the disciplinary field in which they intersect. The central inquiry concerns the articulation of these two notions: how they forge systemic links and exert transformative social forces. These forces fundamentally target values whose impact must be measurable and verifiable through specific indicators. Consequently, this field necessitates a multi-perspective approach, integrating diverse research experiences and specialized expertise. Such transdisciplinarity requires rigorous coordination between these various analytical angles. These complexities justify a cautious and meticulous methodological intervention

Reaction Mechanisms During Co2 Absorption In Ethanolamine Solutions, Teng Weiwei, Wu Yan, Fan Yuxin, Liao Tao, Wang Zicheng, Yu Hui, Li Meng, Xu Xiaoling

Coal Geology & Exploration

Objective Presently, CO₂ capture technology based on the ethanolamine solutions suffers from drawbacks such as high energy consumption and elevated costs. A primary method to address these challenges is to construct blended amine solutions by synergistically integrating the absorption and desorption advantages of different types of ethanolamines. Hydroxyethyl ethylenediamine (AEEA) and N-methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) represent two major commonly used absorbents, and their blending necessitates an accurate understanding of their CO₂ absorption patterns, including CO₂ loading capacity, the ion-concentration distribution patterns of reaction products, and reaction orders. Currently, their absorption mechanisms remain poorly understood, and there is a lack …
