Functional outcome of type 13 C2 distal humerus fractures treated with precontoured locking plates
Authors: Gowtam S. V. , Gunaki Ravindra B.
Published: June 2021

Background:

Distal humerus fractures pose the most challenging task in treatment, which can lead to poor functional outcomes. Anatomic reduction and internal fixation, along with early mobilization, are predicted to improve the functional outcomes. To evaluate the functional outcome, rate of malunion, and intercondylar fixation of distal humerus fractures treated with anatomically precontoured locking plates.

Methods:

Thirty patients of either sex admitted with type 13 C2 distal humerus fractures, were included in this prospective study. All patients underwent open reduction and internal fixation with anatomically precontoured locking plates and screws using the modified triceps tongue flap approach. Postoperatively, patients were followed up for 6 months. During follow-up, they were evaluated clinically, radiologically, and functionally by mayo elbow performance score (MEPS). The results were analyzed using Chi-square test.

Results:

A majority of the injuries were seen in males (66.7% vs. 33.3%). The mean age was 36.9 ± 14.7 years. The common mode of injury was through road traffic accident (66.7%). The right upper limb (76.7%) was the most common side involved. The overall excellent/good scores, according to the MEPS, were observed in 80% of the patients. The average time taken for the radiological union at the fracture site was 10.2 ± 2.1 weeks. The mean arc of extension-flexion at 6th weeks was 32.1°–104.1° and at 6th months was 11.5°–124.2°. The complications were early superficial infection (3.3%), ulnar neuropraxia (3.3%), delayed union (3.3%), malunion (3.3%), and chronic osteomyelitis (3.3%).

Conclusion:

Distal humerus fractures treated with anatomically precontoured locking plates was effective in preserving the functional outcome of the elbow.

Published: June 2021

Background:

Neck pain is a common problem in the medical practice, and the limited movement of the neck muscles can result in impaired chest movement. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between neck pain and pulmonary function using spirometry.

Methods:

We included 75 patients with chronic neck pain and 75 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. We performed spirometry and recorded forced-vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second of FVC (FEV1), forced expiratory flow at 25%–75% (FEF 25–75), and peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR). We also measured the neck active range of motion in all positions (flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and rotation) and administered the Neck Disability Index (NDI) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain.

Results:

Neck movements were significantly limited in all directions in patients with chronic neck pain. Pulmonary function (FVC, FEV1, FEF25–75, and PEFR) was significantly lower, and FEV1/ FVC was significantly higher in the neck pain group compared with the control group. In the neck pain group, restrictive pattern in spirometry was found in 39 participants (52%). The pulmonary function parameters (FVC, FEV1, FEF25–75, and PEFR) had a significant positive linear relationship with neck movement and a significant negative linear relationship with VAS and NDI scores.

Conclusions:

Patients with chronic neck pain had limited pulmonary function, which was related to a limited range of cervical movement.

Objective: The Jirapa District in Ghana falls within the African meningitis belt where over 500 million people are at risk of epidemic meningitis. The district suffered an outbreak of Neisseria meningitides, W (NMW) in 2012 and a mixed outbreak of Streptococcus pneumonia and NMW in early 2016. We investigated the outbreak to identify the source, causative agents, and magnitude and assess health facility preparedness and propose control measures.Design and Setting: We conducted a descriptive study in all sub-districts of Jirapa, between 28th February to10th April 2016. We reviewed records at health facilities, assessed health facility preparedness, searched for cases, traced contacts of case to administer chemoprophylaxis and collect CSF for laboratory analysis. Data were entered in Microsoft excel cleaned, and exported to stata-13 for analysis by person place and time.Results: A total 233 meningitis cases were reported with mean age of 22.4years and standard deviation 21.6. Males were (57%), females (43%) and 60.8% were less than 19 years. Attack rate of meningitis was 214/100,000 with case fatality rate (CFR) of 12.4% (29/233). Causative agents were NMW (69.5%) and streptococcus pneumonia (27.1%), mainly serotype STN1 and H. influenza (3.4%). The index case had travel history to dollar power, close to Tain District which is the epicentre for the 2016 meningitis outbreak in Ghana.Conclusion: The Jirapa district experienced a mixed outbreak of streptococcal and meningococcal meningitis in early 2016, facilitated by migration. Active surveillance and mass vaccination with multivalent vaccines is required to protect the population.Funding: Ghana Field Epidemiology and Laboratory Training Programme (GFELTP)Keywords: Meningitis, outbreak, surveillance, Jirapa, CSF

W artykule przedstawiono możliwości identyfikacji i weryfikacji tonerów na wydrukach uzyskanych z rożnych drukarek laserowych przy użyciu skaningowej mikroskopii elektronowej. W sumie 21 wydruków uzyskano z 21 rożnych modeli maszyn drukujących Brother i Konica Minolta. Szesnaście wydruków uzyskano z drukarek, w których były oryginalne kasety z tonerem, a pięć z drukarek z zamiennikami. Ustalono jasne kryteria oceny indywidualnej. Na podstawie zdjęć SEM oraz tych kryteriów ujawniono szczegóły topografii struktury tonera. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań określono różnice lub podobieństwa tonerów na badanych wydrukach.

SEM analysis of black toner on printouts. Part II

Document examiners are frequently asked to determine whether or not a printout originated from a particular laser printer. The printer can rarely be identified unless some unique defects or irregularities of the printing are present on the printout. This article presents an overview of a systematic approach to characterizing and discriminating the toner of different laser printers using scanning electron microscopy. A total of twenty-one collected printouts were printed on twenty-one different Brother and Konica Minolta printing machine models. Sixteen printouts were obtained using printers with original toner cartridges while five printouts were obtained using printers with compatible cartridges. Clear criteria were established for individual assessment. Based on the SEM images and established criteria the details of topography of the toner structure were revealed. Due to this study, the differences or similarities of toners on tested printouts were determined. The SEM technique can be successfully, simply, and rapidly applied to the analysis of toners on paper documents.

Niniejszy artykuł dotyczy zakazu członkostwa funkcjonariusza Agencji Bezpieczeństwa Wewnętrznego i Agencji Wywiadu w partii politycznej oraz uczestnictwa w działalności tej partii lub na jej rzecz. Zakaz, o którym mowa, został ustanowiony w art. 81 ust. 1 ustawy z 24 maja 2002 r. o Agencji Bezpieczeństwa Wewnętrznego oraz Agencji Wywiadu. Służba publiczna wymaga wprowadzenia pewnych ograniczeń praw funkcjonariuszy w stosunku do reszty członków społeczeństwa. Neutralność polityczna stanowi gwarancję właściwej realizacji zadań i celów wymienionych formacji. Wskazano, że przepis art. 81 ust. 1 ustawy o Agencji Bezpieczeństwa Wewnętrznego oraz Agencji Wywiadu zawiera dwie niezależne od siebie normy prawne, tj. zakaz członkostwa w partii politycznej oraz zakaz uczestnictwa w działalności partii politycznej lub na jej rzecz. Uwagę skupiono na wskazaniu granic tych zakazów. W tym aspekcie wytyczono sferę dozwolonego zachowania funkcjonariusza. Podkreślono również, że ograniczenia, o których mowa, nie naruszają praw i wolności zagwarantowanych Konstytucją RP.

The prohibition of political party membership and of participation in political party activities or on its behalf imposed on officers of the Internal Security Agency and Foreign Intelligence Agency

This paper was entirely devoted to the issues connected with the prohibition of membership in a political party of an officer of the Internal Security Agency and Foreign Intelligence Agency and the participation in the activities of that party or on its behalf. This prohibition was established in Article 81 (1) of the Act of 24 May 2002 of the Internal Security Agency and Foreign Intelligence Agency. Public service requires the introduction of certain restrictions on the rights of officers in relation to the rest of members of society. Political neutrality guarantees proper implementation of the tasks and aims of this formation. There was indicated that aforementioned provision of Article 81 (1) of the Act of 24 May 2002 of the Internal Security Agency and Foreign Intelligence Agency contains two independent legal norms i.e. prohibition of membership in a political party and prohibition of participation in the activities of political party or on its behalf. Attention was therefore focused on indicating the limits of these prohibitions. In this aspect, the sphere of official behavior has been demarcated. There was also underlined that these limits in question do not violate the rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Polish Constitution.
An Occupation-Based Program to Promote Mental Health of At-Risk Youth in an After-Care Setting
Authors:   , Smith Alexa
Published: June 2021

The disproportionate tendency for young adults from disadvantaged backgrounds to shift from schools to the juvenile justice system is referred to as the “school to prison pipeline”. Treating and preventing mental health difficulties is within the scope of occupational therapy, and while the school system assists in mental health treatment, there is a lack of mental health supporting services in after-care settings. The purpose of the program development project is to increase the supportive mental health services provided to at-risk youth in the after-care setting. The project ran mental health group sessions using Cole’s Seven Step Model with participant groups of 10-20 middle school students at two after-care facilities once a week for 9 weeks. Based on the program results, the participants were the most interested in sessions covering confidence building, conflict resolution, and positive communication with adults. They believed that sessions covering aggression, conflict resolution, and positive communication with adults were the most effective in reaching their targeted goal. Increasing the amount of services provided to at-risk youth in urban areas can both increase engagement in typical occupations of youth and decrease the overwhelming number of these youths in the juvenile justice system.

Improved Rectangle Attacks on SKINNY and CRAFT
Authors: Hadipour Hosein , Bagheri Nasour , Song Ling
Published: June 2021

The boomerang and rectangle attacks are adaptions of differential cryptanalysis that regard the target cipher E as a composition of two sub-ciphers, i.e., E = E1 ∘ E0, to construct a distinguisher for E with probability p2q2 by concatenating two short differential trails for E0 and E1 with probability p and q respectively. According to the previous research, the dependency between these two differential characteristics has a great impact on the probability of boomerang and rectangle distinguishers. Dunkelman et al. proposed the sandwich attack to formalise such dependency that regards E as three parts, i.e., E = E1 ∘ Em ∘ E0, where Em contains the dependency between two differential trails, satisfying some differential propagation with probability r. Accordingly, the entire probability is p2q2r. Recently, Song et al. have proposed a general framework to identify the actual boundaries of Em and systematically evaluate the probability of Em with any number of rounds, and applied their method to accurately evaluate the probabilities of the best SKINNY’s boomerang distinguishers. In this paper, using a more advanced method to search for boomerang distinguishers, we show that the best previous boomerang distinguishers for SKINNY can be significantly improved in terms of probability and number of rounds. More precisely, we propose related-tweakey boomerang distinguishers for up to 19, 21, 23, and 25 rounds of SKINNY-64-128, SKINNY-128-256, SKINNY-64-192 and SKINNY-128-384 respectively, which improve the previous boomerang distinguishers of these variants of SKINNY by 1, 2, 1, and 1 round respectively. Based on the improved boomerang distinguishers for SKINNY, we provide related-tweakey rectangle attacks on 23 rounds of SKINNY-64-128, 24 rounds of SKINNY-128-256, 29 rounds of SKINNY-64-192, and 30 rounds of SKINNY-128-384. It is worth noting that our improved related-tweakey rectangle attacks on SKINNY-64-192, SKINNY-128-256 and SKINNY-128-384 can be directly applied for the same number of rounds of ForkSkinny-64-192, ForkSkinny-128-256 and ForkSkinny-128-384 respectively. CRAFT is another SKINNY-like tweakable block cipher for which we provide the security analysis against rectangle attack for the first time. As a result, we provide a 14-round boomerang distinguisher for CRAFT in the single-tweak model based on which we propose a single-tweak rectangle attack on 18 rounds of this cipher. Moreover, following the previous research regarding the evaluation of switching in multiple rounds of boomerang distinguishers, we also introduce new tools called Double Boomerang Connectivity Table (DBCT), LBCT⫤, and UBCT⊨ to evaluate the boomerang switch through the multiple rounds more accurately.
Permutation Based EDM: An Inverse Free BBB Secure PRF
Authors: Dutta Avijit , Nandi Mridul , Talnikar Suprita
Published: June 2021

In CRYPTO 2019, Chen et al. have initiated an interesting research direction in designing PRF based on public permutations. They have proposed two beyond the birthday bound secure n-bit to n-bit PRF constructions, i.e., SoEM22 and SoKAC21, which are built on public permutations, where n is the size of the permutation. However, both of their constructions require two independent instances of public permutations. In FSE 2020, Chakraborti et al. have proposed a single public permutation based n-bit to n-bit beyond the birthday bound secure PRF, which they refer to as PDMMAC. Although the construction is minimal in the number of permutations, it requires the inverse call of its underlying permutation in their design. Coming up with a beyond the birthday bound secure public permutation based n-bit to n-bit PRF with a single permutation and two forward calls was left as an open problem in their paper. In this work, we propose pEDM, a single permutation based n-bit to n-bit PRF with two calls that do not require invertibility of the permutation. We have shown that our construction is secured against all adaptive information-theoretic distinguishers that make roughly up to 22n/3 construction and primitive queries. Moreover, we have also shown a matching attack with similar query complexity that establishes the tightness of our security bound.

Published: June 2021

There exists a strong association between sociodemographics and risk of Haematological malignancies (HMs), documented in a wide range of populations, yet relatively little is known about the extent of their causal link. Sociodemographics are classifiable characteristics of populations. The analysis of these features may aid in identifying disease predictors, which may be essential to incidence reduction and improved outcomes. In this retrospective study design, 78 cases of adult HMs diagnosed at Benue State University Teaching Hospital from June 2012 to July 2019, were analysed to determine the effects of age, sex, religion, tribe, marital status, household income, employment status and educational level on HMs. The study showed that age and sex were predictors of HMs, particularly the middle and older age groups. Marital status, religion, tribe, educational level, employment status and household income showed no significant association with HMs. The findings may help clinicians make informed risk assessments of their patients and provide the appropriate framework for strategic disease control, policy formulation, resource allocation, and further research focus. We advocate for expanded research with focus on the effects of sociodemographics on outcomes of HMs.

Published: June 2021

En la obra se analiza el proceso de difusión de las Normas Internacionales de Contabilidad para el Sector Público (NICSP) y su armonización, considerando sus antecedentes y la manera en que ha evolucionado, con especial referencia a la nueva gestión pública y la relevancia del proceso de modernización contable de las entidades públicas. Se destaca la importancia de los pasos a seguir en la armonización contable, como un fenómeno que se presenta a escala mundial, toda vez que los organismos públicos cada vez son más fiscalizados. Con respecto a la reforma contable y la normalización del sector público en México se examinan las principales características de la contabilidad gubernamental en los sectores federal, estatal y municipal, así como en los entes públicos centralizados y descentralizados. En cuanto al marco normativo se considera la Ley General de Contabilidad Gubernamental (LGCG) y la función principal del Consejo Nacional de Armonización Contable (CONAC), organismo responsable de emitir todos los principios y normativas que permitan llevar a cabo el proceso de armonización. Lo anterior se complementa con ejercicios prácticos, con el objetivo de difundir el nuevo proceso de contabilización en aras de mejorar la transparencia y rendición de cuentas. El libro está dirigido a todos los interesados en la contabilidad gubernamental, desde funcionarios, empleados, contadores públicos hasta estudiantes de posgrado y licenciatura, en particular estos últimos, ya que es muy importante que se conozcan las reformas que se han suscitado en la reciente década.

Field experiment was conducted to study the influence of organic manures and biofortification of selenium on growth, yield and selenium contentof cucumber (CucumissativusL.) during 2019 at Koneripalayam village in Perambalur district, Tamil Nadu. The popular variety Green Long suitable for this region was used for the present study. The experiment was carried out during two seasonsviz., Season I (February-May) and Season II (July-October)in randomised block design with fifteen treatments and three replications. The results of the experiment revealed that application of 25 tFYM ha -1 and 2 kg CBF ha -1 along with foliar application of Se (20 µg L-1) significantly recorded the highest vine length (209.1 cm and 214.6 cm), number of leaves (108.2 and 113.7), leaf length (15.7 cm and 15.9 cm) and leaf breadth (16.2 cm and 16.5 cm) in first and second season, respectively. The highest number of fruits per vine (13.3 and 16.5), fruit length (19.6 cm and 20.8 cm), fruit girth (17.1 cm and 18.2 cm), mean single fruit weight (78.1 g and 81.2 g), fruit yield vine-1 (723.5 g and 1009.2 g)and selenium content per fruit (8.1 µg kg-1 and 10.6 µg kg-1) in first and second season respectively was obtained with1 t EM ha -1 + 2 kg CBF ha -1 + Se (20 µg L-1) as foliar application. Among all the organic manures, farmyard manure was proved to be superior in respect of growth parameters and enriched manure in respect of yield parameters. The foliar application of selenium was found to be the best method of its supplementation in plants and relatively higher values of Se content in fruits were noted with higher dose of Se as folior application.

The investigation was undertaken at B.B.A. University, Lucknow (UP) during rabi season of 2017-18 and 2018-19 to study the influence of varieties and spacing on growth characters of sprouting broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var. italic Plenck). Four varieties viz. V1- Pusa Broccoli KTS-1, V2-Palam Kanchan , V3-Palam Vichitra , V4-Palam Samridhi and four spacings viz.- S1- 60x45 cm, S2 - 60×30 cm, S3 - 45×45 cm, S4 - 45×30 cm were evaluated in factorial randomized block design with three replications. The results revealed that the variety Pusa Broccoli KTS-1 showed the highest plant height (66.7 and 66.2 cm), stem diameter (3.5 and 3.5 cm),plant spreading (E-W and N-S) (61.3, 62.5 and 54.2, 55.3 cm), leaves per plant (23.7 and 23.9), length of leaves (51.1 and 51.1cm) and width of leaves (30.3 and 30.6 cm). Spacing of 60x45 cm produced significantly highest values of plant height (67.3 and 68.4 cm), stem diameter (3.4 and 3.4 cm), leaves per plant (24.3 and 24.5), length of leaves (51.9 and 52.0 cm) and width of leaves (31.0 and 31.2 cm). The lowest values of these growth characters were recorded under spacing of 45x30 cm. The interaction effect between variety Palam Vichitra and spacing of 60x45 cmshowed significant beneficial effect on growth parameters viz.- plant height (68.3 and 68.8 cm), stem diameter (3.5 and 3.6 cm), plant spreading (E-W and N-S) (64.1 and 68.1 and 54.5 and 55.6 cm), leaves per plant (24.7 and 24.9), length of leaves (52.7 and 52.5 cm) and width of leaves (31.3 and 31.3 cm) in sprouting broccoli.
Evaluation of indigenous land races of deep-water paddy of North East India for nutraceutical value
Authors: KALITA KANDARPA
Published: June 2021

Deep water paddy is a nature’s marvel for many ethnic communities living in flood prone river basins of some Asian and African countries. In recent times there is resurgence in interest on local land races in view of alarming depletion of agro-biodiversity and the urgency to preserve them. In Assam, the north eastern state of India, deep water paddy is being cultivated since time immemorial by several ethnic communities living in the Brahmaputra river basin. Although not properly enumerated, it is known that more than 70 land races of Bao Dhanexists. Moreover, recent works have revealed that contrary to general perception deep water paddy are rich in nutritional and nutraceutical values with 9% to 13% protein. Further interest on deep water paddy got a boost with the report that land races with red kernel (red rice) are rich in dietary antioxidant anthocyanin and study showed that they have impressive anti-oxidative activity in vitro. Deep water paddy or floating paddy popularly referred to as Bao dhan in Assam, represent a unique crop capable of withstanding diverse stress and man’s ingenuity to co-exist with hostile nature and weather condition. Owing to their antioxidant capacity and the associated health benefits, anthocyanins have gained increased attention in recent years, hence the study was initiated.
TURKEY,GREECE AND THE ENERGY COMPETITION STRATEGY IN THE EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN
Authors: BAOUNI Hamida
Published: June 2021

The Turkish-Greek energy rivalry in the eastern Mediterranean is one of the important developments that the region has known over the past few years. The outcome of this rivalry is of great importance not only for the two States but for the entire region, given the status and importance that the two States occupy and their relationship with regional and international Powers. We have therefore tried, through our theme, to identify the backgrounds and causes of this rivalry and to define its mechanisms and future directions. What can be emphasized is that the most important conclusion that has been drawn is that it is not possible to understand the reality of this competition by relying on the immediate reasons. We mean here to focus on the legal factor, where we found that the latter overlaps with other backgrounds related to history, economic and Geo-strategic interests. On the other hand, and with a view to maximizing their interests, Greece and Turkey have engaged in a number of strategies, ranging from security, political and economic strategies, and it is clear to us that the Greek movement has been associated mostly with regional and international alliances as opposed to the Turkish movement. We have also come to the conclusion that the scenario of confrontation and escalation will remain unlikely over the next few years, as there are several signs that peace will prevail over war.

Det sammanflätade intresset
Authors: Andersson-Skog Lena , Eriksson Martin
Published: June 2021

This article focuses on the interaction between the state and Swedish banks during the establishment of two institutes for small business credit, AB Industrikredit and AB Företagskredit, between 1958 and 1962. These institutes were established as intermediaries between the supplementary pension system and the credit market. We have been able to elucidate this process by the Swedish Bankers’ Association granting us privileged access to archival material on these negotiations.

It is demonstrated that the strong ideological conflict characterizing the parliamentary debate on the supplementary pensions system did not spill over into the system being implemented within the financial sector as this was organized through the examined credit institutes. Instead, the banks and the state were able to negotiate through established channels and arenas for business-government relations in the financial sector. Even if the parties initially exhibited mistrust based on different historical interpretations of the market for small business credit, they also recognized the degree of change that would be brought on by the supplementary pension system with regard to the financial markets and capital formation as a whole. Hence, they downplayed ideological differences and strived to reach an outcomethat was mutually beneficial in its final form. A crucial indication of this consensus is that fifty percent of each institute was owned by the state while the other fifty percent was owned by the banks.
¿Cómo se definen relevancia, pertinencia y demanda de la investigación científico-tecnológica? Agendas orientadas y evaluación académica en los Proyectos de Desarrollo Tecnológico y social (PDTS)
Authors: Alonso Mauro , Nápoli Mariángela
Published: June 2021

Este artículo propone analizar una herramienta de política científica lanzada en el año 2012, los Proyectos de Desarrollo Tecnológico y Social (PDTS), abordada en trabajos recientes en el campo Ciencia, Tecnología y Sociedad (CTS), a la luz de nuevos hallazgos y aportes bibliográficos.  Puntualmente, abordaremos dos recursos que resignificaron a los PDTS y permiten brindar una mirada crítica a las políticas científicas actuales: la evaluación y sus actores involucrados, y la definición de criterios de novedad local, relevancia, pertinencia y demanda que componen el contenido de la ciencia producida. La metodología elegida se basa en el análisis descriptivo de los documentos y revisiones teóricas de trabajos previos. Como posibles conclusiones, consideramos que los PDTS permitieron pensar contenidos de trabajo e investigación científica que se encontraban determinados por los actores involucrados en la evaluación que no provenían, solamente, del mundo académico; de esta forma, la relevancia y/o pertinencia de los temas podría estar dada por un sector extra-académico que prioriza fines de utilidad social.

As interest in local food development and urban agriculture increases, the Cooperative Extension Service is challenged to serve local and urban food communities in Arkansas. Urban farmers in Arkansas have differing motivations for operation than those in production agriculture, so understanding agricultural county agents’ perceptions of urban farmers is critical for program development and implementation in this sector and to bridge any gaps between Extension and urban producers. This study was conducted to determine the perceptions of, awareness of, ability to assist with, and barriers to working with urban farmers in Arkansas. An emailed instrument was sent to Arkansas staff chairs and agricultural county agents and data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. A total of 57 agents participated in the survey. Responses from agents in more populous regions of Arkansas were comparatively analyzed to those from less populous regions. Results indicated agents infrequently interacted with urban farmers in their counties, yet believed Extension was a valuable resource for urban farmers and that more resources should be allocated to developing urban farming programming. Respondents also self-identified as having low levels of personal knowledge relating to urban agriculture, with 72% of respondents indicating they were not knowledgeable or slightly knowledgeable about urban agriculture. There was a significant difference between the responses of agents in more populous counties and those in less populous counties. Future research aims to conduct a similar survey relating to local food in Arkansas, not just urban agriculture.
