Prognostic Value for Perioperative Serum Total Cholesterol Level on Postoperative Long-Term Prognosis of Pancreatic Cancer: A Retrospective Clinical Study

Cholesterol correlates with occurrence and progression of pancreatic cancer and has predictive value for postoperative prognosis in various cancers. Our study intended to reveal the relationship between perioperative serum total cholesterol (TC) level and postoperative prognosis of pancreatic cancer. We retrospectively analyzed the data of pancreatic cancer patients who underwent surgical treatment at our hospital from January 2015 to December 2021. ROC curves between serum TC level at each time point and 1-year survival rate were drawn, from which study object and optimal cutoff value was determined. Patients were divided into low and high-TC groups, and perioperative data and prognosis were compared. Risk factors for poor postoperative prognosis were identified by univariate and multivariate analysis. Overall survival rates at postoperative 1, 2 and 3 years in the low and high-TC groups were 52.9%, 29.4%, and 15.6% and 80.4%, 47.2%, and 33.8% (p = 0.005), respectively. Multivariate analysis confirmed tumor differentiation degree (RR = 2.054, 95% CI: 1.396-3.025), pTNM stage (RR = 1.595, 95% CI: 1.020-2.494), lymph node metastasis (RR = 1.693, 95% CI: 1.127-2.544), and postoperative 4-week serum TC level (RR = 0.663, 95% CI: 0.466-0.944) as independent risk factors for prognosis of pancreatic cancer. We conclude that postoperative 4-week serum TC level has certain predictive value for long-term postoperative prognosis of pancreatic cancer.

Analysis of price setting process and pricing decision art object: A case study in art contractor industry

Price setting s a very complex matter and can bring profits and losses to the business if it is wrong in making pricing decisions. Art objects have different standards in determining their prices so that they do not have a definite price standard. This research focuses on how to determine the price of art objects through the pricing process and the value brought by the art objects. This research is a case study research using a qualitative approach. The company studied is an art contractor located in Bali. Researchers conducted field observations, studied company data and conducted interviews. The results of this study show pricing decision-making process in the art contracting industry has several stages to estimate project costs as a basis for making decisions to determine the final price. Each stage of the process correlates with one another and will reveal the costs of the project. The valuation of the art object is added to the project cost based on the artist's skill in making the art object. Each project will have a different value that is tailored to the artist who made the work on the project.

A Comparative Study: Land Acquisition for The Public Interest in Indonesia and India

Revoking land ownership rights in Indonesia and the Eminent Domain in India in an attempt to acquire land for the public good is a process that often causes conflict. Based on this, this research was conducted to describe the problem by comparing land acquisition and compensation processes in Indonesia and India. The type of research used is conventional law using secondary data, collecting data through literature studies that are qualitatively analyzed. The implementation of compensation in Indonesia starts with the Land Appraiser by calculating the loss value of the Land Acquisition Object. Based on the Indian law, compensation in India will be done by the Collector and the compensation amount decided by the Collector must meet solatium equal to one hundred percent of the money compensation and a sum of money calculated at 12% per year at the market value for that year. After all the calculations are completed, the Collector will give a report to the senior project officer and compensation will be given to the landowners.

Is Travel Journalism more similar to Newspaper Language or the Language of Tourism? A corpus-based study

ABSTRACT The Travel section of a newspaper is composed of texts which purport to at least partly comply with the ethical value of journalistic objectivity, yet the border between this type of writing and the overtly promotional texts produced in the tourism sector is somewhat blurred. This paper compares linguistic features in samples of text from Tourist Board websites and the Travel section and nine other sections of The Guardian to determine whether Travel Journalism can be categorised as a type of journalism, or whether it bears distinct similarities to Tourism Discourse. The results suggest that Travel Journalism differs from the other newspaper sections and is quite similar to the Language of Tourism on the basis of some features. However, in relation to others, it is decidedly different, thereby suggesting that Travel Journalism can be cleared of the allegation of being unduly influenced by the texts produced by the tourism industry.

EFFORTS OF THE COMMUNITY IN INCREASING TOURIST VISITS TO THE PADANG ROCO TEMPLE TOURISM OBJECT IN DHARMASRAYA REGENCY

The tourism sector will become a national asset if it can be well-developed. One of the ways is by promoting tourist attractions, which is not only the responsibility of the government but also the community. The community plays a vital role in developing and maintaining the values of a tourist object. Hence, this research aims to examine the community's efforts in increasing tourist visits to the Padang Roco Temple Tourism Object in Dharmasraya Regency. The research approach used in this study was qualitative with a descriptive research type, and 12 informants were selected through purposive sampling. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and document studies. The analysis technique used was the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion. Based on the research results, the government and the community have tried to develop the Padang Roco Temple Tourism Object. Some of the efforts include 1) efforts by the caretakers of the temple to develop the facilities and infrastructure, 2) efforts by the local community groups to promote the Padang Roco Temple Tourism Object, and 3) efforts by the community to help in the development of the temple by donating land to the government.

TESTING THE TRUTH OF COMTE'S POSITIVISM BASED ON HABERMAS' CRITICAL THEORY

The development of science which is dominated by Comte's positivism paradigm for approximately four hundred years has made critical theorists represented by Jurgen Habermas as the second generation of the Frankfurt school continue to build criticism and test the truth of the theory of positivism. The size of the truth of science that Habermas cannot accept when there is Comte's limitations by legitimizing and justifying science through empirical fact research with standardization that has been determined through methodological prerequisites and norms. Habermas with his critical theory rejects this view because there is knowledge that cannot be measured by positivist research methodologies such as community communication and emancipation. On the other hand, Habermas also rejects the notion of value-free science such as Comte's testimony in his positivism because it has indirectly co-opted science with an interest that no longer has objectivity values, but is full of interests.

Efficient crowdsourced best objects finding via superiority probability based ordering for decision support systems

Best objects finding is a fundamental operation in decision support systems and applications. When numerical values of objects cannot be obtained from existing computer systems or in a machine learning manner, crowdsourcing proves a viable approach via harnessing human intelligence for data gathering. Most of existing studies ask crowds to submit pairwise preferences where a large number of crowdsourced questions are produced, thereby incurring huge monetary cost and long latency. To address this issue, we propose a framework for efficient best objects computation by leveraging crowdsourcing to provide object values. The framework employs three query operators ( i.e., top-k, knn, and skyline queries) to compute best objects, and minimizes the number of crowdsourced objects by eagerly pruning non-result objects via superiority probability based ordering. We first propose the concept of superiority probability, which describes the probability that an object is better than or equal to another object from the perspective of statistics. We then explore properties for objects pruning, and propose sequential and parallel ordering techniques for objects crowdsourcing based on the concept of superiority probability. Extensive experimental results show that the proposed framework achieves the promising efficiency in reducing the number of crowdsourced objects and latency.

Perceived values to personal digital archives and their relationship to archiving behaviours: An exploratory research based on grounded theory

Personal digital archiving (PDA) is a type of personal information behaviour related to personal memory and identity construction. The aim of this study is to discover and define individual’s perceived values in relation to personal digital archives, and to explore their relationship between PDA behaviours. Based on the grounded theory, drawing on in-depth interviews with 14 Chinese college students, both the perceived values in relation to personal digital archives and the PDA behaviours were coded through open, axial, and selective coding processes. This study found the perceived values in relation to personal digital archives mainly include subject value, object value, intermediary value, value to other subjects and social value, PDA behaviours mainly include accumulation behaviour, use behaviour, appraisal behaviour and disposal behaviour. Moreover, the value cognition of personal digital archives is the intermediary link between perceived values and PDA behaviours and is the core connecting the two. Value cognition can be divided into judgement on whether personal digital archives are valuable, subdivision of value types of personal digital archives, value evaluation of personal digital archives, and cognition of enhancing or weakening the value of personal digital archives. The study comprehensively analysed the perceived values, value cognition that drive PDA behaviours, built the relationship between perceived values, value cognition and PDA behaviours, and answered the question of why individuals want to archive from cognitive and behavioural perspectives. The findings of the study can help librarians to conduct more targetted PDA education and improve the public’s awareness and literacy in PDA.

The use of comparative market coefficients to measure office property market and fair values: Some special aspects

Subject. This article deals with the issues of assessing the market value of office real estate. Objectives. The article aims to substantiate the need to use special calculated values of multipliers differentiated by the main cost factors. Methods. The study is based on the verification of the considered methods of valuation of office real estate on the basis of pair and multiple regression methods, as well as the theoretical and methodological aspects of assessing the value of office real estate, in particular, on the application of the gross rent multiplier (GRM) method. We also used general scientific methods of cognition, empirical and economic analysis methods, methods of scientific abstraction, comparison, classification, generalization, grouping, and graphic analysis. Results. The article identifies the main factors in determining the value of office real estate, analyzes the values of the office real estate objects’ value by published multipliers and various calculated types of multipliers, and also it compares the values obtained. It focuses on the fact that the value of office real estate obtained on the basis of published values of gross rent multipliers, is underestimated. The article also justifies the need to use multipliers that are more detailed in terms of cost factors.

Percolation and jamming properties in object growth model on a lattice with impurities

Percolation model with nucleation and object growth is studied by Monte Carlo simulations on a triangular lattice with point-like impurities. Growing objects are needle-like objects and self-avoiding random walk chains. In each run through the system the lattice is initially randomly occupied by point-like impurities at given concentration . Then the seeds for the object growth are randomly distributed at given concentration ρ. The percolation properties and the jamming densities are compared for the two classes of growing objects on the basis of the results obtained for a wide range of densities ρ and up to the percolation threshold for the monomer deposition on a triangular lattice. Values of the percolation thresholds have lower values for the needle-like objects than for the self-avoiding random walk chains. The difference is largest for the lowest values of ρ and , and ceases near the values of the site percolation threshold for monomers on the triangular lattice, . Values of the jamming coverage decrease with for given ρ. This effect is more prominent for the growing random walk chains.

Monocular Depth Estimation Network Based on Swin Transformer

Estimating depth from a single image is challenging because a single 2D image may correspond to many different 3D scenes with the same depth. While most deep learning based depth prediction methods extract depth features using small convolutional kernels with small receptive fields, which results in deformed depth edges and inaccurate depth values of distant objects in the depth estimation results. Aiming at this problem, we propose a depth estimation network based on Swin Transformer and the encoder-decoder structure. We construct the encoder using the Swin Transformer network, which can encode long-range spatial dependency and extract features on various scales and across different channels. The decoder of the proposed network is in charge of fusing the features from the encoder by the operations of interpolation, concatenation, and convolution. Experiments on KITTI and NYUv2 datasets show that our proposed network can get more accurate depth edges and depth values than the state-of-the-art methods.

Logics for Temporal Information Systems in Rough Set Theory

The article discusses temporal information systems (TISs) that add the dimension of time to complete or incomplete information systems. Through TISs, one can accommodate the possibility of domains or attribute values for objects changing with time or the availability of currently missing information with time. Different patterns of flow of information give different TISs. The corresponding logics with sound and complete axiomatization are presented.

Yōkobo

As part of a multidisciplinary research and a PhD project to strengthen the connection between retired couples living at home, we imagined and designed Yōkobo. It is a robot at the crossroads of a sensitive approach and a robotic trend that bridges the gap between humans (Human-Robot-Human Interactions field). As a theoretical contribution, Yōkobo is at the intersection of various concepts: behavioral objects, robjects, weak robotics, and slow technology. Yōkobo is a trinket bowl placed in the entrance of homes. Its discreet presence expresses hospitality and celebrates small moments of everyday life, welcoming visitors and inhabitants of the house. The name comes from the contraction of “yōkoso” (welcome in Japanese) and “robot” (with French pronunciation). In addition to these functions, Yōkobo expresses the state of the home using data from connected IoT devices, combining various house parameters (such as temperature, air quality, etc.) to express the home's “mood” through its motions. Finally, Yōkobo used in tandem with house keys, can convey a trace, a message based on motion. And a trace is a memory of the partner's passage. Yōkobo is resolutely innovative and disruptive. It does not sit within the lineage of the general vision of what robots are and what they can do: it is an object intended to be unobtrusive, stemming from ambient computing, while having an ongoing subtle presence. It does not make sounds, unlike voice assistants and the trend for using voice modality interaction. It expresses its environment only through motion and light. to move away from home's companion robots and the biases they can generate through facial representation, Yōkobo has neither an anthropomorphic shape nor can talk. Yōkobo is intended to be made of natural materials such as ceramic, wood, or wool to break with the idea of plastic, disposable, and toy robots, and to improve its integration in everyday home life. as a slow technology product, understanding and integrating Yōkobo into one's life takes time and requires accepting not having a clear, repetitive, and instantaneous response to an action. Its contribution is not measured in terms of efficiency and utility; it is the sum of different experiences with the product over time that creates the object's meaning and value. Getting to know Yōkobo's expressive motions is continuous and progressive. Yōkobo is an object that is understood through perception and touches the poetic sensibility of its users. Yōkobo is a concept that puts people's relationships at the center. It does not impose itself to propose an exclusive Human-Object relationship. It reveals the presence of the other by expressing the last impermanent trace of the other's passage. It is an object of sensitive presence. This work is the result of interdisciplinary research between roboticists, designers, and ergonomists. The navigation (directions and overlay) of this pan.able demonstrates the design and engineering processes, as well as the interaction modalities.

The use of the effective age in the calculation of the cadastral value as a factor in the sustainable development of the region

In the Russian Federation taxes are calculated based on the cadastral value of immovable property, formed on market information, including information related to the economic characteristics of using of a real estate object. This creates conditions for the rational and efficient use of land plots and capital construction projects (capital construction object). However, it is worth noting that today these conditions are poorly implemented due to biased cost indicators forming the base real estate taxation. The purpose of the study is to test methodological tools for calculating the cadastral value of a capital construction object, taking into account adjusted effective age in the context of sustainable development of the region. When performing repair and restoration work, physical wear is compensated only partially. In this regard, the cost of a constructed building and the cost of a building that was overhauled or reconstructed in the same year are not equivalent to each other. The proposed by the authors corrected effective age allows us to reflect the content of difference between the year of construction and the year of reconstruction or overhaul as a whole. This makes it possible to resolve the issue of using such a pricing factor as a date of overhaul (reconstruction). At the moment, regions do not have a unified position in a practical approach to this issue. To demonstrate the applicability of methodological tools, the assessment of cadastral value was carried out within the framework of the cost approach. The sample used includes 132 objects, residential and non-residential buildings located on the territory of the city of Tomsk, in respect of which reconstruction was carried out. The results showed that the calculation models of physical depreciation of a building based on corrected effective age become more flexible because partial compensation of physical depreciation is taken into account during the renovation. In total, these measures lead to the accuracy increase while calculating the cadastral value.

ВИТРАТИ ЗАБУДОВНИКА ЖИТЛОВОГО БУДІВНИЦТВА: ВИДИ, СТРУКТУРА ТА ОБЛІКОВО-АНАЛІТИЧНЕ ВІДОБРАЖЕННЯ

The article focuses on the importance of accounting for expenses of a housing construction developer, since they affect the determination of the final cost of housing construction. The price attractiveness of the entire residential complex depends on the accuracy of the cost of housing construction and its distribution among individual residential real estate objects. The study shows the dynamics of the cost of 1 m2 of living space in terms of individual settlements, according to which it is determined that the highest cost of housing is in the capital, the lowest – in Kirovohrad Oblast. It is noted that in addition to the differentiation of the cost of residential m2 by oblast, the cost of 1 m2 of living space depends on the location of the residential complex (business centre, residential area of the city, etc.). It is argued that the cost of housing construction is the basic basis for determining the price of housing construction. The paper presents an indicative structure of costs for the construction of a residential complex. According to it, it is determined that the largest share in the total cost of financing housing construction is the cost of construction of the frame (40%) and the cost of finishing works. It is noted that over the past 10 years, the developer has spent a significant amount of money on the construction of a residential complex to improve the adjacent territory in order to increase the attractiveness of the residential complex. It is considered that the main production costs for the construction of a residential complex by a developer are accounted for in Account 23, and after the construction work is completed and the residential complex is put into operation, the amount of accumulated costs is written off and the sales value of the construction object as a whole, individual apartments and 1 m2 of living space is determined accordingly. It is determined that if a developer simultaneously implements several housing projects, general production costs arise, which are registered in Account 91 and distributed among individual construction projects. In addition to the costs directly related to the construction object, the customer also bears the costs associated with the management of the enterprise, which are recorded in Account 92, and the costs associated with the sale of apartments (Account 93), unless housing intermediaries are involved in this process.

Objectivity, practicality, and significance of practice guidelines for the practicing neurologists: What we learnt from consensus criteria in CIDP, Myasthenia Gravis and Inflammatory Myopathies.

The value of practice guidelines in the three most common autoimmune neuromuscular disorders, namely Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP), Myasthenia Gravis (MG) and Autoimmune Inflammatory Myopathies (AIM), has been extensively debated regarding their usefulness in clinical practice, objectivity and universal value considering that guidelines are also established regionally in certain countries. This commentary highlights common concerns on how guidelines are presently generated, pointing out: (a) non-sufficient diversity among Task-Force members to identify and address not only routine clinical and electrophysiology issues but also immunology, imaging, pathology, biomarkers, epidemiology or treatment economics; (b) Task-Force being often comprised by the same or seemingly like-minded members conveying the erroneous impression that experts with opposing views might have been excluded, even if this is clearly not the case; and (c) relying on web-based registries or retrospective data collections from heterogeneous sources. As a result, the existing practice guidelines in CIDP, MG and AIM remain an unfinished business but an excellent base for further enhancement. Guidelines can be extremely helpful not only for clinical trials but also in clinical practice if viewed as a living document with continuously updated versions by experts even with opposing views with precise information on diagnostics, pathomechanisms, therapeutic schemes, evolving biomarkers and economics of new therapies with validation of the post-guidelines criteria. Geographic diversity should be taken into consideration because the availability of biomarker testing, and therapies differ among countries. Patient preferences need to be also considered in therapeutic guidelines because newly marketed drugs offer more options steadily changing the therapeutic algorithms in autoimmune neuromuscular diseases generating also questions as to whether they also influence decisions on insurance coverage. Collectively, these startup considerations are aimed to make practice guidelines more objective, widely acceptable worldwide and more practical or easier to follow in clinical practice.

CONDITION OF PRESERVATION AND METHODS OF MATERIAL EVALUATION OF THE OBJECTS OF ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE IN PRYKAPATTIA

The Ukrainian state is a country with centuries-old history, on her walks of life unique sights of architectural inheritance are kept. Prykarpattya counts 3944 sights of cultural heritage, from what 1443 are the objects of sights of architecture, 90 sights are the objects of national value, other 1353 are local. Two monuments of sacred architecture are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List: the Church of the Holy Spirit in 1598 in Rohatyn and the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in 1808 in the village of Nyzhnii Verbizh, Kolomyia district. The basis of the development of the state is the preservation of cultural heritage, because it is a kind of engine of socio-cultural development of each nation. Preservation can be carried out by protecting, including material elements in modern urban planning, maintaining and monitoring the state of preservation and functioning of the cultural heritage object. The material part of the architectural heritage includes: urban planning systems, buildings and structures, anthropogenic landscapes, monuments of architecture, urban planning, monumental art, archeology, etc. The intangible part of the architectural heritage includes: professional experience, concepts theoretical views and ideas accumulated by the people and fixed in any form. Issues related to the protection and preservation of architectural heritage are regulated by the Convention for the Protection of European Architectural Heritage, which was ratified in 2006. The issue of assessing the architectural heritage is spelled out in the Law of Ukraine “On the Protection of Cultural Heritage”, which states that each architectural monument is an object of real estate and is subject to monetary valuation, since it carries property value. The article describes the number of architectural objects that we refer to as cultural monuments of national importance and on the example of several of them described their current state of preservation and architecture, as we see most of the architectural monuments need restoration. In the article, we analysed the methodology for assessing the state of preservation of architectural monuments and methods of monetary valuation of architectural objects and determined that none of them takes into account the historical value of the architectural heritage object, so we proposed to identify and take into account the following main criteria for evaluating an architectural monument: construction period, historical memory of the object, location of the object, tourist potential, socio-cultural object, uniqueness of the object, authenticity of the object. It is necessary to take into account the historical aspect in the methods of assessment, first of all, in order for people to realize the importance of preserving and protecting architectural objects. Keywords: architectural monument, state of preservation of architectural heritage, assessment of architectural heritage objects.
