The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of multiple detector computed tomography (MDCT) in the preoperative staging of gastric cancer, prospectively comparing CT findings with pathological findings at surgery, in a single-center study. A total of 19 consecutive patients with primary cancer recruited between March and July 2014 were submitted to preoperative MDCT staging according to a standard protocol. All diagnostic procedures were performed by dedicated radiologists who were unaware of the final pathological results. Subsequently, 16 patients underwent surgical treatment and 15 were finally included in the study. The primary tumor was detected at CT in all 15 cases. CT results for T staging were in agreement with pathological findings in 12 of 15 cases, with overall accuracy of 80%. Stage-specific sensibility was high for advanced stages (sensibility for T1, T3, and T4 resulted 60%, 85.7%, and 100%, respectively), while earlier stages showed higher specificity (specificity for T1, T3, and T4 resulted 100%, 75%, and 91.7%, respectively). Overall N staging accuracy was 86.7%, with 13 of 15 patients correctly staged. Stage-specific sensibility was 75% for N0 and 100% for N3, while specificity was 100% for N0 and lower for advanced stages. Accuracy for peritoneal involvement was 100%. Our findings show a good performance of the diagnostic protocol performed with MDCT tested in this study.

Does Immigration Promote the Investment of the Monopolistic Firm?

In the present paper, we examine the effect of increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth on the optimal timing of investment of a firm that has a monopolistic power over the labor market. It is revealed that when the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is more than a threshold level, increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth accelerates the optimal timing of firms’ investment and enhances the economic growth, even if the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is formulated by the geometric Brownian motion, which is in sharp contrast to the standard result that an increase in the uncertainty postpones the optimal timing. With an increase in the immigrants over the past ten years, workforces in the host countries have been growing significantly to the extent that the immigrants represent 70% of the increase in the workforce in Europe, and 47% in the United States as OECD indicates. In the present paper, we attempted to investigate the effect of increased uncertainty caused by the growi...

Education Policy Implementation: A Mechanism for Enhancing Primary Education Development in Zanzibar

Education is one of the fundamental rights of individuals; therefore, the government of a country needs to develop and strengthen educational policy and quality as well as to ensure that everyone has equal access to basic education. The improvement of access and quality of education in the world is becoming as an essential factor in development, whereas the basic education (primary school), is acknowledged as a foundation of the higher educational development for every country. To fulfill this goal, governments introduce several policies and procedures; however, it requires some reforms and participation from the politician, policymakers, and other stakeholders to re-examine educational policy so that it can lead to multiplication and betterment of the reforms. Educational reforms actually focus on accountability. A positive educational development and reform is very challenging and needs more effort and strategy on how to use and utilize the resources effectively as such it can achie...
