The research Institute of Oncology of the Tomsk Research Center for Voice Rehabilitation of patients with cancer of the larynx and laryngopharynx after laryngectomy has developed a method for restoring voice function Ьу forming an esophageal voice using the method of biofeedback. The method of biofeedback speeds up the formation of voice skills due to the fact that the patient gets the opportunity during voice training consciously manage such parameters of the voice being formed as the duration of phonation, pitch frequency, frequency stability of the pitch. In order to study the effectiveness of the method developed by us, a study was conducted of the results of voice rehabilitation of 80 patients with cancer of the larynx and hypopharynx. Voice function was restored in 71 (88.75%) patients in the period from 8 to 22 days.

<p>Abstrak<br />Diseminasi nilai kalibrasi resistor standar kepada standar kerja di Puslit Metrologi - LIPI telah dilakukan. Hal ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan hasil kalibrasi dan estimasi ketidakpastiannya yang valid dan tertelusur ke SI pada standar kerja. Desiminasi dilakukan dengan cara mengimplenmentasikan nilai kalibrasi resistor standar 1 kΩ ke resistor acuan dan kemudian ke standar kerja. Nilai yang telah diturunkan kepada standar kerja, reference multimeter, telah dibandingkan dengan nilai pengukuran yang dilakukan oleh KRISS (Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science) melalui kriteria derajat ekuivalensi. Error number berdasarkan kriteria derajat ekuivalensi antara Metrologi - LIPI dan KRISS pada resistor-resistor 100Ω, 10Ω, dan 1Ω masing-masing adalah sebesar 0,51, 0,73, dan 0,87. Berdasarkan error number tersebut, hasil pengukuran Metrologi - LIPI memiliki kesesuaian nilai ukur dengan hasil ukur KRISS. Lebih daripada itu, hal tersebut telah memvalidasi hasil kalibrasi dan estimasi ketidakpastian dari resistor acuan dan standar kerja di Puslit Metrologi - LIPI.<br />Kata kunci: nilai kalibrasi, resistor standar, standar kerja, kriteria derajat kebebasan, validasi.</p><p><br />Abstract<br />Dissemination of calibration value of standard resistor to working standard in Research Center for Metrology LIPI has been done. It aims to get the calibration result and the uncertainty estimation that are valid and traceable to SI on the working standard. The desimination was performed by implementing calibration value of 1 kΩ standard resistor to reference resistor and then to working standard. The value that had been disseminated to working standard, reference multimeter, had been compared to the measurement value made by KRISS (Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science) through a degree of equivalence criteria. The error numbers based on the degree of equivalence criteria between Metrology-LIPI and KRISS for the resistors measurement of 100Ω, 10Ω, and 1Ω were 0.51, 0.73, and 0.87 respectively. Based on those error numbers, Metrology-LIPI measurement results had the measuring value agreement with KRISS measurement results. Moreover, Its had validated calibration result and the uncertainty estimation of reference resistor and working standard in Metrology LIPI<br />Keywords: calibration value, standard resistor, working standard, degree of equivalence criteria, validation.</p>

Access to external sources of technical knowledge is one of the keys to staying innovative for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The literature suggests that SMEs with a weak internal R&D capacity do not make much use of institutional sources like research institutes and universities. In this paper I investigate how trade associations can induce member SMEs to use a research institute. The case of a public research institute and SMEs in the textile industry in Kyoto, Japan is examined. Evidence from the case suggests that trade associations facilitate the use of the institute by expressing a collective ‘voice’ to the management of the institute. The effect is evident among active members in the use of services involving a large information gap as to their benefits. I also consider a shortcoming of the collective approach and suggest some measures to be taken on the part of research institutes.

Introduction. So far there has been no clear protocol on the treatment of bacterial infections in hematopoietic cancer patients undergoing polychemotherapy (PCT) and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Guidelines available from antibiotic therapy panels such as EMBT, NCCN, ECIL, Sepsis-3 often fail to cover the entire spectrum of clinical risk factors of severe complications caused specifically by multiresistant Klebsiella pneumoniae.The aim of the study — is to showcase the clinical experience of demonstration of the experience of the Research Institute of Pediatric Oncology and Hematology at N.N. Blokhin Russian Cancer Research Center with respect to adjusting antibacterial therapy for the spectrum of microorganisms found in the patient before the onset of antitumor therapy, and for the multiresistant microorganism findings in patients with blood cancers and febrile neutropenia (FN) undergoing PCT and HSCT.Materials and methods. The study involved five patients undergoing either PCT or HSCT for hematopoietic cancers at Research Institute of Pediatric Oncology and Hematology in October 2019 — October 2020, multiresistant Klebsiella pneumonia colonies found in each case. Results. Five patients with hematopoietic cancers and induced bone marrow aplasia were found to have multiresistant Klebsiella pneumoniae colonies on top of post-PCT/HSCT immunosuppression. Given high risk of death, these patients need early antibacterial therapy with reserve antibiotics outside standard empirical antibacterial treatment protocols should they develop FN. The Center's practices have shown that baseline protocols are often inadequate to the severity of these patients' conditions in a certain timeframe.Conclusions. To sum up the Center's limited experience, the finding is that additional research is required into the factors of risk of severe multiresistant Klebsiella pneumoniae infections in patients undergoing PCT and HSCT; algorithms must be developed for the treatment of patients in such a critical condition.
