Improving the understanding and interpretation of myeloma screening among resident doctors and physician associates: a quality improvement project by Mahmoud Gouda, Hannah Hunter

“…For instance, several tests were incorrectly included, such as C-reactive protein, chosen by 17 out of 34 (50%) respondees; 11 out of 34 (32.4%) selected a skeletal survey, and 11 out of 34 (32.4%) chose liver function tests.The BSH guidelines recommend serum free light chains rather than urinary Bence-Jones proteins to test for monoclonal light chains.2 Despite this, most respondents (94.1%) selected urinary Bence-Jones proteins as part of the myeloma panel.The results also revealed a lack of confidence among participants in interpreting myeloma screen results (Fig 2). …”

Key technologies of efficient extraction of coalbed methane (gas) in Guizhou coal mine area by Wang YI, Longjun LIANG, Lichong YAN, Zhihua YAN, Jie CHEN, Wei GAO, Yi LOU, Fuqin YANG, Haiyang HU, Jiawei ZHU

“…It innovated and explored the following high efficiency extraction technology of “four zones” linked Wells in coal mining areas with Guizhou characteristics: ① By laying multi-functional pumping vertical Wells or small inclination oriented Wells in the goaf, it was the first time in Guizhou to realize efficient extraction and development of pressure relief gas in the overlying coal-covered strata and coal-bed methane in the sweet coal seam below the goaf; ② Taking advantage of the characteristics of spatial and temporal dislocation in the production area, the multi-mode extraction mode of “coalbed methane well + relief well + underground drilling” is adopted for the first coal seam mined in the upper protective layer, which realizes the purpose of the upper and lower vertical combined extraction of coalbed methane (gas) Wells and effectively solves the problem of multi-source gas flooding into coal mining roadway and gas accumulation in the upper corner during coal mining under the condition of coal seam group development in Guizhou; ③ In the preparation area and planning area, combined with the terrain and geological characteristics of the two areas, the horizontal well “well factory” + “two pairs of right and wrong” overlapping well layout mode is adopted to realize the efficient extraction of coal bed methane in the plane in advance and pre-pumping of the sweet coal seam and the pressure relief gas in the overlying coal-laden rock in the subsequent mining process, and at the same time to achieve the goal of “replacing the roadway with Wells”; ④ In view of the development of multi-thin coal seam groups in the study area and the development characteristics of “three zones” in the overlying strata after mining, due to the continuous change of the role of “four zones”, the surface coalbed methane Wells are initially deployed in the production area or preparation area, and the “bridge plug bottom sealing + layer selection perforation” technology is adopted to innovate the “transformation” technology of well structure to achieve the purpose of “multi-purpose in one well”; It also provides new technical ideas and accumulated valuable engineering experience for gas management in coal mine area under the condition of multi-thin coal seam group development in Guizhou.…”

Creative Design as Research The Application of Practice Base Research in Designing the Logo of Didar Gallery of Isfahan by Rasool Kamali Dolat Abadi

“…In this research design, the author has used four cognitive fields: "Graphics and Sign Design", "Process Design and Triz's Theory of Creativity" (The four basic pillars of Triz: “Contrast”, “Ideality”, “Function” and “Resources”; The eight principles of Triz: “Consolidation”, “Nesting”, “Prior Action”, “Periodic Action”, “Mediator”, “Replacement of Mechanical Systems”, “Homogeneity” & “Phase Transition”), "Contemporary Art and Galleries" (Applying seven features of Contemporary Art: “innovation and experimentation” in the unconventional design process, “using Multimedia as a new tool” in logo design, “conceptual-critical and questioning approach” which has deconstructive features, “process oriented design”, “Multiplicity of meaning”, “Multidisciplinary approach in sound engineering and image engineering” and “Social action and interactivity” through collaboration with different people for sign design) and "Structuralist & Post-Structuralist Philosophy" (Concepts such as “the metaphysics of presence”, “the priority of speech (parole) over writing (language)”, “endless chain of significations” ,“the trace of meaning”, “the Play of presence and absence”, “deferral of meaning”, “difference”).In designing the final logo of Didar Gallery, the designer paid attention to the histogram of the recorded sound of saying the word Didar, instead of a purely written or visual approach, taking into account selected theoretical principles in the four cognitive fields and while visualizing the sound, he redesigned the letters with deformation in its geometry.As a result, in the final design, the designer has increased the creative and thoughtful aspect of the logo by making changes in the design tools and design approach, and by deepening the design -by finding ideas from philosophical propositions (especially Derrida's deconstruction)- to the extent that the gallery logo, in addition to the status of its functionality can be considered as an artwork.…”
