Chapter 3 Is Chronic Post-Surgical Pain Preventable ?

Chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP) is a common problem following surgery. It has significant impact on the patients’ quality of life, chronic pain treatment services and resources in general. The prevalence of CPSP ranges between 5 and 50% of all surgical patients, but severe CPSP is present in less than 10% of the patients. The recognised potential risk factors for CPSP are young age, female gender, overweight, psychological factors, genetic tendency, pre-operative pain, surgery-related factors and severe post-operative pain. Hence, early identification of patients at risk will help to reduce the proportion of patients who are likely to develop CPSP. Different modalities of treatments or interventions are used to prevent the CPSP. These modalities include pre-emptive use of gabapentin, pregabalin or SNRIs, perioperative administration of ketamine, NSAIDs and steroids. In addition, the following interventions have been studied: surgical technique selection, regional and local anaesthesia, intrathecal administration of morphine and multimodal analgesia. Since the present evidence of these interventions is inconclusive because of methodological issues, further studies are still needed to develop more effective and evidence-based strategies to prevent CPSP.
Stable models in multi-adjoint normal logic programs

Multi-adjoint normal logic programming arises as an extension of multi-adjoint logic programming considering a negation operator in the underlying lattice. In the literature, we can find different semantics for logic programs with negation [3]– [5]. We are interested in considering the stable model semantics in our logic programming framework. This paper summarizes a broad study on the syntax and semantics of multi-adjoint normal logic programming framework which has been recently published in [1]. Specifically, we will analyze the existence and the unicity of stable models for multi-adjoint normal logic programs.
The Influence of Social Distance on Community Corrections Officer Perceptions of Offender Reentry Needs

APPROXIMATELY 600,000 OFFENDERS return to society from federal and state prisons every year (Petersilia, 2003). Of approximately 300,000 offenders released in 15 states in 1994, 67.5 percent were rearrested within three years (Langan and Levin, 2002). Offenders’ ability to reintegrate successfully is hindered by obstacles such as difficulty in obtaining employment, acquiring housing, and admission to colleges and universities (Allender, 2004; Cowan & Fionda, 1994; Graffam, Shrinkfield, Lavelle, & McPherson, 2004; Harris & Keller, 2005; Hunt, Bowers, & Miller, 1973; Nagin & Waldfogel, 1993; Paylor, 1995; Starr, 2002; Whelan, 1973), serious social and medical problems (Petersilia, 2003), and mental health issues ranging from depression to low self-esteem to anger management problems (Fletcher, 2001; Heinrich, 2000; Helfgott, 1997). Newly released offenders encounter stigmatization (Bahn & Davis, 1991; Funk, 2004; Steffensmeier & Kramer, 1980; Tewksbury, 2005) and loss of social standing in their communities (Chiricos, Jackson, & Waldo, 1972), and are in need of social support (Cullen, 1994; Lurigio, 1996) and substance abuse and mental health treatment (Lurigio, 2001; Petersilia, 2003).
Feature-Resolved Simulations of Turbulence over Superhydrophobic Surfaces

Direct numerical simulations are used to study the drag reduction effect of superhydrophobic surfaces in both laminar and turbulent regimes. The superhydrophobic surfaces are longitudinal grooves mounted on one side of a plane channel. The laminar simulations are compared to the experiments of Maynes et al. (2007). The effects of groove geometry, trapped gas and interface meniscus are independently studied. An alternative to the commonly used zero-shear boundary condition is applied to consider the effect of the gas at the interface. Fully wetted turbulent simulations were performed at Reτ = δ δν = 400 with groove widthw = w/δν = 3.6 and heighth = h/δν = 3.6 in viscous wall unit. The results show that geometry causes an apparent slip to the external flow which extends up to y = y/δν = 2 from the wall and yields overall drag reduction of about 5%. The instantaneous solution shows behavior similar to riblets in that the near wall vorticity does not penetrate into the grooves yielding overall drag reduction. The failure of the interface is examined and a simple criterion is proposed.
Identity politics in Social Media in the 2019 Presidential Election

Identity politics is an important issue in contemporary Indonesian politics. The use of religion and ethnic labels has become one of the agendas in winning elections. Especially with the existence of social media that actively spreads the idea of identity politics. This research itself was carried out by analyzing qualitatively issues of identity politics that are rife in social media. As a result, identity politics in the 2019 presidential election then illustrates that the issue of identity is becoming increasingly widespread in political contestation in Indonesia.
The phylogeny and taxonomy of New Zealand Notoacmea and Patelloida species (Mollusca: Patellogastropoda: Lottiidae) inferred from DNA sequences

The systematics of Notoacmea Iredale, 1915 have been confused because of their highly variable shells. We used DNA sequences from a mitochondrial gene (COI) and a nuclear gene (ITS1) to define the species boundaries among New Zealand Notoacmea species, using the allied genus Patelloida Quoy Gaimard, 1834 as outgroup. Phylogenetic trees of 195 individuals showed 14 well-supported, reciprocally monophyletic clades, which we treat as species: N. badia Oliver, 1926, N. cellanoides Oliver, 1926, N. daedala (Suter, 1907), N. elongata (Quoy Gaimard, 1834), N. parviconoidea (Suter, 1907), N. pileopsis (Quoy Gaimard, 1834), N. scapha (Suter, 1907), N. scopulina Oliver, 1926, N. sturnus (Hombron Jacquinot, 1841), N. subantarctica Oliver, 1926, Patelloida cortica (Hutton, 1880) and three new Notoacmea species, N. potae, N. rapida, and N. turbatrix, which are described here. Of the above names, N. daedala and N. subantarctica are resurrected from synonymy. Notoacmea helmsi (E.A. Smith, 1894) and N. virescens Oliver, 1926 are interpreted as synonyms of N. elongata.
An Overview of the Cellular Mechanisms of Flavonoids Radioprotective Effects

Considering the remarkable application of radiotherapy in the treatment and diagnosis of various diseases and even nuclear war, it is important to protect healthy tissues and people at risk from the radiation. Currently, there is no ideal and safe radioprotective agent available and we are seeing a great effort to find these agents from natural sources. Phenolic compounds, as well as flavonoid, are presented widely as the second metabolite in plants and they have been considered for investigation according to their benefits for human health, healing and preventing many disorders. The major bioactive benefits of flavonoids include antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-aging, anti-bacterial and viral, neuroprotection and radioprotective effects. Their lower toxicity and oral administration have made it suitable for radiotherapy patient, radiation, military forces, and even the general public. This review attempts to provide a summary of the main molecular mechanisms involved in flavonoid radio-protective effects. Data of these studies will provide a comprehensive perspective to flavonoids and can help to optimize their effects in radioprotection procedures.
Feature-Preserving Detailed 3 D Face Reconstruction from a Single Image

Dense 3D face reconstruction plays a fundamental role in visual media production involving digital actors. We improve upon high fidelity reconstruction from a single 2D photo with a reconstruction framework that is robust to large variations in expressions, poses and illumination. We provide a global optimization step improving the alignment of 3D facial geometry to tracked 2D landmarks with 3D Laplacian deformation. Face detail is improved through, extending Shape from Shading reconstruction with fitted albedo prior masks, together with a fast proportionality constraint between depth and image gradients consistent with local self-occlusion behavior. Together these measures better preserve the crucial facial features that define an actor’s identity, andwe illustrate this through a variety of comparisons with related works.
SURFACE AND SUBSURFACE ALTERATIONS INDUCED BY HARD TURNING OF AISI 52100 BEARING STEEL

Over the last decades, turning of hardened steel for finishing purposes has earned visibility as a process that can potentially match grinding. This is due to the fact that economic advantages can be obtained when turning instead of grinding, however, turning of hardened steels has not been able to replace grinding to a greater extent owing to the difficulty of the former in providing the same level of dimensional accuracy achieved by the latter. The aim of this work is to assess the influence of cutting parameters (cutting speed, feed and depth of cut) on the dimensional and geometric deviations induced by finish turning of hardened AISI 52100 steel (60 HRC) with mixed alumina (Al2O3 + TiC) cutting tools. Additionally, the influence of the cutting parameters on the microstructure and subsurface microhardness profile is investigated. The novelty of the present work is to establish a relationship between surface (dimensional and geometric deviations) and subsurface (microstructure and microhardness variation) alterations induced by hard turning, which are crucial to the performance of the machined component. The results show that feed significantly affects diameter deviation, circularity, concentricity and surface roughness, while depth of cut affects diameter deviation and parallelism error. The influence of cutting speed is significant only with regard to the concentricity error. As far as subsurface alterations are concerned, higher surface microhardness values were obtained when combining higher cutting speed and lower feed and depth of cut. Clear evidence of microstructure alterations was observed under the most severe cutting condition only.
How firms translate intended ambidexterity into innovation outcomes : The role of performance measurement systems

This paper examines the extent to which design and use attributes of performance measurement systems (PMSs) influence the conversion of intended competence ambidexterity into the achievement of ambidextrous innovation outcomes. Drawing on paradox and organisational conflict literature, this study emphasises the role of cognitive conflict in shaping the relationships between PMSs and ambidexterity. Using crosssectional survey data from a sample of 90 Irish firms, the paper investigates whether a) the balance of performance measures and b) the degree to which performance measures are used for debate and discussion among the top management team (TMT) impact on the generation and management of cognitive conflict in order to simultaneously achieve incremental and radical innovation outcomes. Findings reveal that cognitive conflict significantly drives the achievement of ambidextrous innovation outcomes. Furthermore, the results of this study indicate that intentions to develop competence ambidexterity do not generate cognitive conflict by themselves. Rather it is through the combined presence of balance in the design of a PMS and the use of performance measures for debate and discussion among the TMT that cognitive conflict is activated. Overall, the paper emphasises the relevance of the role of PMSs as conflict generators in order for ambidextrous firms to be able to realise their strategies.

Numerical investigation of the lean effects in centrifugal compressors

The continuous needing of performance improvements in the centrifugal compressor technology for industrial and aeronautical applications, as well as the modern CAD techniques allow and ask for new impeller designs. In this paper a numerical analysis of opposite lean angles on the rotor blades is carried out. These methodologies are widely applied to axial turbomachines, but few papers in the open literature can be found on centrifugal compressors. Blade lean effects on the rotor outlet flow and the vaneless diffuser performances are discussed. Some of the blades have been tested for 3 tip clearances and 3 flow rates to get a deeper understanding of the involved phenomena. Results show a weak dependence of the rotor efficiency on rotor blade lean; notwithstanding, the local flow field at the rotor outlet presents different patterns that affect the flow evolution in the vaneless diffuser and its performances
Information Acquisition, Efficiency, and Nonfundamental Volatility

We analyze efficiency and nonfundamental volatility in a class of generalized beauty-contest economies with endogenous information. As in models of rational-expectations equilibria, agents learn about exogenous states and endogenous aggregate actions. As in models of rational inattention, agents choose their information structures subject to a cost. We identify conditions on information costs that guarantee the existence of efficient or inefficient equilibria; we further identify conditions that guarantee the existence or nonexistence of equilibria with zero nonfundamental volatility. Mutual information, the cost typically assumed in rational-inattention models, guarantees the existence of an efficient equilibrium with zero nonfundamental volatility.
CHAPTER TWELVE CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE EVALUATION Theory , Practice , and Future Implications ∗ , †

In the last two decades, the evaluation literature reflects increasing attention to culture and cultural contexts in the field. A lion’s share of this literature has focused on culturally responsive evaluation (CRE) concepts and frameworks.1 Much less literature considers the practice, practical application, or ways in which those in the fieldmaximize the use of such frameworks. As this chapter will reveal, most of the current CRE literature discusses either theory or practice; very few, if any, provide discussions of both theoretical and practical applications of CRE. As the practice of evaluation by non-profits, consultants, academics, and the general public grows, the need to use CRE in evaluation practice has increased because evaluators work in diverse cultural, contextual, and complex communities in the United States and in many other parts of the world. In this fourth edition of the Handbook, this chapter provides a core resource on the history, theory, and application of CRE. This opportunity to bring CRE theory and practice to a wider audience is set within an increasing global demand for monitoring and evaluation of public programs and the requirements by
InFo: Indoor localization using Fusion of Visual Information from Static and Dynamic Cameras

Localization in an indoor or Global Positioning System (GPS)-denied environment is paramount. It drives various applications that require locating humans or robots in an unknown environment. Various localization systems using different ubiquitous sensors such as camera, radio frequency, inertial measurement unit have been developed. Most of these systems cannot accommodate for scenarios which have substantial changes in the environment such as a large number of people (unpredictable) and sudden change in the environment floor plan (unstructured). In this paper, we propose a system, InFo that can leverage real-time visual information captured by surveillance cameras and augment that with images captured by the smart device user to deliver accurate discretized location information. Through our experiments, we demonstrate that our deep learning based InFo system provides an improvement of 10% as compared to a system that does not utilize this real-time information.
Real Interest Rates , Inflation , and Default 1 Sewon Hur Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland sewonhur

This paper argues that the comovement between inflation and economic activity is an important determinant of real interest rates over time and across countries. First, we show that for advanced economies, periods with more procyclical inflation are associated with lower real rates, but only when there is no risk of default on government debt. Second, we present a model of nominal sovereign debt with domestic risk-averse lenders. With procyclical inflation, nominal bonds pay out more in bad times, making them a good hedge against aggregate risk. In the absence of default risk, procyclical inflation yields lower real rates. However, procyclicality implies that the government needs to make larger (real) payments when the economy deteriorates, which could increase default risk and trigger an increase in real rates. The patterns of real rates predicted by the model are quantitatively consistent with those documented in the data.
THE ATTITUDES AND PERCEPTIONS OF TRANSFER STUDENTS TOWARDS NON-NATIVE SPEAKERS ENGLISH

In the field of English Language Teaching (ELT), a vast number of teachers are not native speakers of English. The majority of students worldwide learn English in foreign language (EFL) contexts and consequently, most English teachers work in similar contexts too. These non-native teachers have taught hand in hand with the native speakers for centennial however, research on the students’ in the facets of attitudes and perceptions of their teachers have only been carried out recently. This paper reports on a study conducted which investigated the attitudes and perceptions of transfer students towards their non-native lecturers. The students were queried via a questionnaire and interviews. On the whole, the students had a favorable attitude although some shortcomings were indicated. The reasons for the students’ attitudes and perceptions are discussed.
A study on the characteristics of self-propulsion factors for a ship equipped with Contra-Rotating Propeller

Contra-rotating propeller (CRP) is well known as an efficient energy saving device recovering the loss of rotational energy of forward propeller by aft propeller and its performance is said to be improved around 10% compared with conventional propeller (CP). It is also known that not only the open water efficiency but also the self propulsion factors are changed from a ship with CP. Especially effective wake factor indicates the drastic change from CP which sometimes reaches to the gain of 10% order power reduction. Although effective wake factor is one of the major parameter to constitute vessel’s performance with CRP, detailed investigation on the characteristics of this factor is not yet appeared. Accordingly in this paper, both experimental and theoretical investigations were carried out to clarify the physical characteristics of this factor. Furthermore, we conducted sea trail for two actual ships and a large benefit in effective wake factor by the amount of 10% was verified which was almost equivalent value derived from model test.
Generational Differences in Password Management Behaviour

Passwords still remain a very common authentication method for online accounts. Many studies have investigated people’s risky password management behaviour, including reusing passwords, writing them down, and sharing them with others. However, most studies provide limited information about the demographics of their participants. There may be substantial differences in password management behaviour between younger and older people, as they represent very different generations with different experiences of the Internet, and investigation of these differences could be a first step to helping people manage their passwords more appropriately. An online survey asked 45 younger and 47 older people about their password management behaviour. Significant generational differences were found in password behaviours including storing passwords, sharing them with others, forgetting them, and logging in from a shared computer. There were also significant differences in respondents’ ratings of their password security knowledge and password strength. Finally, there was a significant social desirability bias in answers to several questions.
