Inter-disciplinary therapy seems to be most promising. Radiotherapy is an effective alternative to surgery for hilar CCC (Klatskin tumors) if an adequate radiation dose can be delivered to the liver hilus. Here, we describe a patient for whom we used a stereotactic radiotherapy technique in the context of an inter-disdplinary treatment concept. We report a 45-year-old patient with a locally advanced Klatskin tumor. Explorative laparotomy showed that the tumor was not resectable. A metallic stent was implanted and the patient was treated by stereotactic radiotherapy using a body frame. A total dose of 48 Gy (3×4 Gy/wk) was administered. Therapy was well tolerated. After 32 too, local tumor recurrence and a chest wall metastasis developed and were controlled by radio-chemotherapy. After more than 56 mo with a good quality of life, the patient died of advanced neoplastic disease. Stereotactic radiotherapy led to a long-term survival of this patient with a locally advanced Klatskin tumor. In the context of inter-disciplinary treatment concepts, this radiotherapy technique is a promising choice of treatment for patients with hilar CCC.展开更多

In Rabelais and His Worm (1984) and Problems of Dostoevsky's Poetics (1987), Bakhtin has shown how Rabelais' and Dostoevsky's vision of the world is turned to the artistic way of seeing. The author of this paper has studied a novel and its connection to a writer's world view by using the theory of Bakhtin. The purpose of this paper is to show how the author has used Bakhtin's ideas and perspectives in her study. The subject of the author's doctoral dissertation is Finnish author Algot Untola (1868-1918), who published whole his ambiguous production by using pen names. Main research data are Untola's early works which include novels and newspaper articles that are written in the years 1906-1909. The research problem has been whether Untola's first novel Harhama (1909) carnivalized literature or not. The study has revealed that Untola's carnivalesque writings opposed the Finnish nationalist official culture. In previous study it has not been seen, because has not been taken into account his world view and its close relationship with the folk's unofficial laughing culture.展开更多

For disseminating a research data and information, it is important to use a simple language and an effective communication. The data research produced by specialists has three formal levels: The third one of communication system aims to break barriers to reach a wide audience. The present study wants to demonstrate the role of images in the process of deductive inference by three dimensional (3D) reconstruction of cultural heritage. The case study of Federico da Montefeltro office shows how inter-disciplinary works and technological resource can help society to understand history and meaning of heritage.展开更多

Viewing communication as information processing activity, this paper aims to explore the relationship between interdisciplinary information processing (IP) and design coordination performance. Both amount and quality are concerned regarding information processing. 698 project based samples are collected by questionnaire survey from design institutes in China's Mainland. Statistical data analysis shows that the relationship between information processing amount and design coordination performance follows a nonlinear exponential expression: performance = 3.691 (1-0.235IP amount) rather than reverted U curve. It implies that design period is too short to allow information overload. It indicates that the main problem in interdisciplinary communication in design institute in China is insufficient information. In additional, it is found the correlation between IP quality and coordination process performance is much stronger than that between IP amount and coordination process performance. For practitioners, it reminds design mangers to pay more attention to information processing quality rather than amount.展开更多

In the positive sense, Snow's proposition concerns the contradictions between the integrity of the research subject and the particularity of established disciplines, as well as the trend toward division and isolation in subdivisions of the humanities and social sciences. The key to solving Snow's proposition is to take an inter-disciplinary path that pays particular attention to combining discipline-centered with issue-centered research and individual work with teamwork, giving full play to individual endowment, social orientation and environmental orientation and to the optimization of evaluation systems and mechanisms.展开更多

However the design syntax of urban greenways is not explicitly discussed thus leaving a critical gap in knowledge. This paper begins tackling the larger question by acting on the fundamental subset of it, by operationatizing the design syntax of urban greenways. This is done through mathematics-based graph studies to analyze patterns and shapes, photography based thermal, material and morphology studies, and section analyses to make imagery-derived deductions on the design syntax. Recommendation on approaches to diversify and enrich the design syntax includes a more direct reference from ecosystem science theories such for siting and planning the urban greenways at macro- to meso-scale, a mixed-method approach, combining mathe- matics, photography and drawings based frames for analyses at meso- to micro-scale, and a turtle view scale for designing at meso- to micro-scale, with an emphasis on latter.展开更多

Evolutionary processes are part of all we know, from the physical and inanimate world to the simplest or most complex biological system. Evolution is manifested by land mark discoveries which deeply affect our social life. Demographic pressure, demand for improved living standards and devastation of the natural environment pose new and complex challenges. We believe that the implementation of new computational models based on the latest scientific methodology can provide a reasonable chance of overcoming today's social problems. To ensure this goal, however, we need a change of mindset, placing findings obtained from modern science above traditional concepts and beliefs. In particular, the type of modeling used with success in computational sciences must be extended to allow simulations of novel models for social life.展开更多
