Blunt maxillary fracture and cheek bite: two rare causes of traumatic pneumomediastinum

Subcutaneous facial emphysema is a well-known consequence of oral and maxillofacial traumatic injury. In some rare cases, the subcutaneous air collection could spread through the retropharyngeal and paralatero-cervical spaces, reaching the mediastinum. This clinical entity is known as pneumomediastinum and represents a severe and, sometimes, life-threatening condition. Other reported causes of pneumomediastinum are esophageal and tracheal traumatic or iatrogenic rupture. Finally, the so-called spontaneous pneumomediastinum is caused by a sudden increase in alveolar pressure and is usually seen in young men. We present two cases of pneumomediastinum as a consequence of unusual traumatic damage of orofacial tissues, followed by repeated sneezing and Valsalva maneuver.

Ações governamentais para a mitigação e prevenção de danos ambientais no Pantanal Mato-grossense após o grande incêndio de 2020

Incêndios florestais no Pantanal Mato-grossense degradaram cerca de um terço do território do bioma em 2020, sendo o maior incêndio registrado neste bioma até o presente. Houve a análise das principais medidas governamentais de caráter legal após esse episódio, visando responder ao seguinte questionamento: a partir das evidências existentes quanto às causas dos incêndios florestais no Pantanal Mato-grossense, as medidas adotadas pelo Estado brasileiro são aptas a prevenir incêndios florestais e a assegurar a reparação do dano ambiental a partir do desastre ocorrido? As medidas adotadas pelo governo brasileiro foram levantadas por meio de consulta legislativa e notícias veiculadas nos sítios eletrônicos oficiais dos poderes legislativo e executivo na esfera federal e estadual. A análise das medidas foi feita considerando as ações de caráter preventivo e de combate, em relação às principais causas dos incêndios ocorridos no ano de 2020. Entre as considerações finais do presente estudo temos que as medidas governamentais não apenas podem estar sendo insuficientes para evitar novas ocorrências de incêndios florestais, como também podem colocar em risco a biodiversidade dos ecossistemas atingidos, pois partem do pressuposto duvidoso em relação à causa do problema (acúmulo de biomassa), negligenciando a provável causa antrópica dos incêndios e a aplicação de instrumentos jurídicos existentes que poderiam ser utilizados para assegurar a aplicação da lei ambiental e, ainda, prevenir outros incidentes.
Communicating law enforcement professionalization: social construction of standards

Purpose – This paper seeks to analyze how institutional arrangements and discourses shape law enforcement professionalization efforts, to identify opportunities and potential problems associated with professionalization, and to propose research to address practitioner interests in education and training and public interests in accountability and service equity.Design/methodology/approach – The paper explores discourses surrounding law enforcement professionalization efforts to identify implementation barriers and potential consequences. It reviews earlier literatures and analyzes occupational standards data, utilizing a communicative perspective to investigate professionalization problems that have often been approached from political or economic perspectives.Findings – Although law enforcement is often urged to professionalize, educational standards for officers remain low. There is no clear nexus between college curriculum and law enforcement as a profession. This paper shows that competing discourses a...
New models of sanctity in italy (1960s-2010s). a semiotic analysis of norms, causes of saints, hagiography, and narratives

In cultures with a strong Catholic tradition saints represent models of life perfection, dialectically elaborated by a plurality of subjects and expressed in a thick intertextual network. Since the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), when the Church promoted a policy of adaptation of her tradition to the modern world, the modeling of sanctity has undergone a deep transformation. In a context of global change, new models of sanctity have assumed a central role in guiding the faithful by proposing a renewed religious alternative to growing secularization.
NeMoSanctI intends to study how models of sanctity have changed after the Second Vatican Council and their relationship with the culture of a country exemplum of strong Catholicism: Italy. To this end, it will apply a pioneering semiotic method based on the study of values, which will allow the comparative analysis of a corpus of texts of different genres:
- normative texts regulating sanctity emanating from the Church;
- judicial texts, i.e. causes of canonization of three famous Italian saints (Padre Pio, Gianna Beretta Molla, and Gerardo Maiella), with a focus on the dialectics between the models proposed by laic witnesses and by ecclesiastic inquirers;
- narrative texts, i.e. a sample of popular hagiography about the three saints, of official hagiographic collections, and of Italian literary texts, where the theme of sanctity tends to be unconventionally elaborated and dissociated from Catholic values.
Despite its relevance for a deeper understanding of the role of religion in today’s culture, a systematic research on new models of sanctity and on their intertextual codification is still missing. By carrying out this research and by proposing an innovative semiotic method for the analysis of models of life perfection, NeMoSanctI will have a significant impact on numerous disciplines, especially semiotics, religious and cultural studies, critical studies of hagiography and canon law, literary and Italian studies.
A simple method for direct observation of the converse magnetoelectric effect in magnetic/ferroelectric composite thin films

A novel characterization method is presented to directly observe the pure converse magnetoelectric (ME) effect, i.e., the electric-field modification of magnetization, in composite magnetic/ferroelectric (FE) layered thin films. A low-frequency AC electric-voltage, rather than DC voltage bias, is applied to the FE thin films to minimize the leakage current, whereby the possible side effect of heating can be avoided. In particular, by synchronizing the frequency of the Kerr signal detector to the AC actuation voltage bias, the voltage-induced change of the magnetization in the magnetic films can be in situ recorded even under zero external magnetic fields. For illustration, this method is applied to two similar magnetic/FE composite thin films, with significant strain-mediated converse ME coupling being demonstrated in both cases.
Tunnelling under a conical intersection: Application to the product vibrational state distributions in the UV photodissociation of phenols

When phenol is photoexcited to its S(1) (1(1)ππ∗) state at wavelengths in the range 257.403 ≤ λ(phot) ≤ 275.133 nm the O-H bond dissociates to yield an H atom and a phenoxyl co-product, with the available energy shared between translation and well characterised product vibration. It is accepted that dissociation is enabled by transfer to an S(2) (1(1)πσ∗) state, for which the potential energy surface (PES) is repulsive in the O-H stretch coordinate, R(O-H). This S(2) PES is cut by the S(1) PES near R(O-H) = 1.2 Å and by the S(0) ground state PES near R(O-H) = 2.1 Å, to give two conical intersections (CIs). These have each been invoked-both in theoretical studies and in the interpretation of experimental vibrational activity-but with considerable controversy. This paper revisits the dynamic mechanisms that underlie the photodissociation of phenol and substituted phenols in the light of symmetry restrictions arising from torsional tunnelling degeneracy, which has been neglected hitherto. This places tighter symmetry constraints on the dynamics around the two CIs. The non-rigid molecular symmetry group G(4) necessitates vibronic interactions by a(2) modes to enable coupling at the inner, higher energy (S(1)/S(2)) CI, or by b(1) modes at the outer, lower energy (S(2)/S(0)) CI. The experimental data following excitation through many vibronic levels of the S(1) state of phenol and substituted phenols demonstrate the effective role of the ν(16a) (a(2)) ring torsional mode in enabling O-H bond fission. This requires tunnelling under the S(1)/S(2) CI, with a hindering barrier of ∼5000 cm(-1) and with the associated geometric phase effect. Quantum dynamic calculations using new ab initio PESs provide quantitative justification for this conclusion. The fates of other excited S(1) modes are also rationalised, revealing both spectator modes and intramolecular vibrational redistribution between modes. A common feature in many cases is the observation of an extended, odd-number only, progression in product mode ν(16a) (i.e., the parent mode which enables S(1)/S(2) tunnelling), which we explain as a Franck-Condon consequence of a major change in the active vibration frequency. These comprehensive results serve to confirm the hypothesis that O-H fission following excitation to the S(1) state involves tunnelling under the S(1)/S(2) CI-in accord with conclusions reached from a recent correlation of the excited state lifetimes of phenol (and many substituted phenols) with the corresponding vertical energy gaps between their S(1) and S(2) PESs.
Steam and management under pressure

The industrial sector could reduce its energy use by at least 13%. 75% of the potential savings can be found in steam and electric motor systems. Actions to tap the full potential in steam systems have been taken in the past but without success since findings from energy audits were not, or partly, implemented. 

The following barriers have been identified:
 There is no business case for steam saving measures for enterprise decision makers;
 There is a lack of technical (steam) expertise of energy auditors and within enterprises generally;
 There is no formal organisational structure for dealing with energy efficiency (energy management).
The objectives and goals of the STEAM-UP proposal are: 
• Bridging the gap between audit results and implementation by developing an in-depth steam audit covering:
 state of the art steam expertise;
 involvement of all stakeholders in the enterprise;
 identification of non-energy benefits to strengthen business cases;
 energy management to secure prolongation.
• Reducing the effort for measure implementation by developing an integrated solution for business case reporting  and energy management implementation.
• Achieve energy savings during this action of 55,6 GWh/a through piloting 75 of the in-depth steam audits. 
• Building capacity amongst 400 energy auditors for the use of the in-depth steam audit methodology in their daily practise.
• Building capacity amongst stakeholders in 75 enterprises on steam and the business benefits to increase steam efficiency.
• Building capacity amongst 40 energy management training providers to enable integration of the in-depth steam audit methodology in regular energy training programmes. 
• Promote knowledge transfer on steam and the benefits to increase steam efficiency. 
This project focuses on the large, energy-intensive industry but the methodology will also be applicable for SMEs. The developed methodology can be made applicable for a wide range of utilities and processes.
Cellulose-based porous scaffold for bone tissue engineering applications: Assessment of hMSC proliferation and differentiation

Physical foaming combined with microwave-induced curing was used in this study to develop an innovative device for bone tissue regeneration. In the first step of the process, a stable physical foaming was induced using a surfactant (i.e. pluronic) as blowing agent of a homogeneous blend of Sodium salt of carboxymethylcellulose (CMCNa) and polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA700) solution. In the second step, the porous structure of the scaffold was chemically stabilized by radical polymerization induced by a homogeneous rapid heating of the sample in a microwave reactor. In this step 2,2-Azobis[2-(2-imidazolin-2 yl)propane]Dihydrochloride was used as thermoinitiator (TI). CMCNa and PEGDA were mixed with different blends to correlate the properties of final product with the composition. The chemical properties of each sample were evaluated by spectroscopy analysis ATR-IR (before and after curing) in order to maximize reaction yield, and optimize kinetic parameters (i.e. time curing, microwave power). The stability of the materials was evaluated in vitro by degradation test in Phosphate Buffered Saline. Biological analyses were performed to evaluate the effect of scaffold materials on cellular behavior in terms of proliferation and early osteogenic differentiation of human Mesenchymal Stem Cells. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Regularity of methane migration of heavy steep-thick coal seams in top-coal caving workings and comprehensive control

Top-coal caving in heavy steep-thick coal seams with short-distance workings is one of key approaches for fully recovery of coal resources. However,movement of rock masses is complicated. In high sectional top-coal caving it often occurs hazards of abrupt methane release,problems of exceeding methane and potential methane disasters. For hybrid control to methane problems in top-coal caving of Wudong colliery,the theory analysis,parameters testing and in-situ experiment are adopted with remarkable effects,which indicated that the methane pre-drainage rate was up to 5. 8% in B4- 6and methane concentration maintains 0. 02% in tail-entry. Besides methane draining amounts reached 23 900 m3with mining in working face which was 67. 55% of total ones,which was prerequisite to achieve safe and efficient excavation in extremely thick and steep coal seams.
Levels of von Willebrand factor and ADAMTS13 determine clinical outcome after cardioversion for atrial fibrillation

Summary Von Willebrand factor (vWF) plays an essential role in platelet adhesion and thrombus formation. Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) exhibit higher plasma vWF and lower ADAMTS13 antigen levels compared to controls. Little is known about vWF and ADAMTS13 in AF patients treated with cardioversion (CV). Thus we investigated the alterations of plasma vWF and ADAMTS13 after CV and evaluated the predictive value of these parameters for recurrence of AF. In this observational study we determined plasma levels of vWF and ADAMTS13 in 77 patients before and immediately after CV, as well as 24 hours (h) and six weeks thereafter, by means of commercially available assays. The vWF/ ADAMTS13-ratio was significantly elevated immediately after CV (p=0.02) and 24 h after CV (p=0.002) as compared to baseline levels. ADAMTS13, 24 h after CV, exhibited a significant association with recurrence of AF (HR: 0.97; p=0.037). Accordingly, tertiles of ADAMTS13 showed a stepwise inverse correlation with the risk of recurrent AF (HR: 0.50; p=0.009). After adjustment for confounders, ADAMTS13 remained significant as an independent predictor of recurrent AF (HR: 0.61; p=0.047). Similarly, the vWF/ADAMTS13-ratio, 24 h after CV, was associated with rhythm stability and remained an independent predictor of recurrent AF (HR: 1.88; p=0.028). The regulation of vWF and its cleaving protease ADAMTS13 after CV might play a critical role in producing a pro-thrombotic milieu immediately after CV for AF. Since ADAMTS13 plasma concentration and the vWF/ADAMTS13-ratio are independently associated with rhythm stability, these indexes might be used for prediction of recurrence of AF.
„How exactly does this work?”

Abstract In the course of the miniaturization and compaction of components and assemblies of components, the application of metallographic target preparation methods has seen a noticeable boost in recent years – not just in electronics industry but also in other industries and in the field of quality assurance in general. In this context, methods are as manifold and diverse as there are possible targets. Besides the classical method, that is progressive hand grinding accompanied by constant visual checks, more and more semi-automatic and automatic systems or aids are used, aiming at rendering the preparation process more user-independent, more effective, and more reproducible. The replication “target preparation” of the DGM working group aims at illustrating common target preparation methods in the field of materialography and at comparing these methods in terms of preparation effort and accuracy by means of typical samples. Besides reaching the target levels, the focus was also on preparation quality. As samples of electronic components/assemblies usually provide all possibilities of combinations of materials and as such impose higher requirements in terms on the preparation as for homogenous materials, they were chosen as test material. Evaluating the test results revealed the entire range of applied methods with comparable resulting accuracy, but partially differing qualitative results and different levels of effort. Procedures during these preparations resemble each other and as a result of the test, recommendations could be made for target preparation in general.
Exclusive caesarean section delivery and subsequent urinary and faecal incontinence: a 12-year longitudinal study

To investigate the association between delivery mode history and urinary and faecal incontinence, specifically a history of exclusive caesarean section deliveries.Twelve-year longitudinal study.Maternity units in Aberdeen, Birmingham and Dunedin.Women who returned postal questionnaires 3 months and 12 years after index birth.Data on all births over a 12-month period were obtained from units and women were followed 3 months, 6 years and 12 years after the birth.Urinary incontinence (UI) and faecal incontinence (FI) 12 years after index birth.Of the 7883 women recruited at 3 months, 3763 were followed up at 12 years: nonresponders were similar in their obstetric factors. After adjustment for parity, body mass index and age at first birth, women who delivered exclusively by caesarean section were less likely to have UI than those who only had spontaneous vaginal births (odds ratio [OR] 0.46, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.37-0.58), but not if they had a combination of caesarean and spontaneous vaginal births (OR 1.14, 95% CI 0.89-1.47). There was no difference in FI among women who had exclusive caesarean births (OR 0.94, 95% CI 0.66-1.33) or mixed caesarean and spontaneous vaginal births (OR 1.06, 95% CI 0.73-1.54).Unless women are resolved to have all their deliveries by the abdominal route (and their medical advisors agree), caesarean section does not protect from subsequent UI. Even among those who do deliver exclusively by caesarean section, 40% still report UI; and this strategy confers no benefit for subsequent FI.
Smart ordering plan as a service

Knowing how much to order and when is a longstanding industrial problem called order planning.  The 2 main approaches are:
1. Upfront ordering. Allows capturing quantity discounts and simplifying operations, but causes high inventory costs (e.g. space, amortisation).
2. Just-in-time ordering. Minimises inventory costs, but requires a higher quality control, increases order fees and reduces discounts on quantities.
However, the right solution lays in the grey area in-between. Sometimes part of the inventory might go bad after a certain time and forces frequent ordering, storage space might be limited, suppliers might impose minimal order amounts, may be some material has long lead times. In summary, a myriad of real-world considerations that current solutions ignore, achieving only partial optimisations.

Simultaneous bactericidal and osteogenic effect of nanoparticulate calcium phosphate powders loaded with clindamycin on osteoblasts infected with Staphylococcus aureus

Staphylococcus aureus internalized by bone cells and shielded from the immune system provides a reservoir of bacteria in recurring osteomyelitis. Its targeting by the antibiotic therapy may thus be more relevant for treating chronic bone infection than eliminating only the pathogens colonizing the bone matrix. Assessed was the combined osteogenic and antibacterial effect of clindamycin-loaded calcium phosphate nanoparticles of different monophasic compositions on co-cultures comprising osteoblasts infected with S. aureus. Antibiotic-carrying particles were internalized by osteoblasts and minimized the concentration of intracellular bacteria. In vitro treatments of the infected cells, however, could not prevent cell necrosis due to the formation of toxic byproducts of the degradation of the bacterium. Antibiotic-loaded particles had a positive morphological effect on osteoblasts per se, without reducing their viability, alongside stimulating the upregulation of expression of different bone growth markers in infected osteoblasts to a higher degree than achieved during the treatment with antibiotic only.
