Published: April 2023

Background: Golf is a popular sport involving overhead activity and engagement of the rotator cuff (RC). This study aimed to determine to what level golfers were able to return to golf following RC repair, the barriers to them returning to golf and factors associated with their failure to return to golf. Methods: Patients preoperatively identifying as golfers undergoing RC repair at the study centre from 2012 to 2020 were retrospectively followed up with to assess their golf-playing status, performance and frequency of play and functional and quality of life (QoL) outcomes. Results: Forty-seven golfers (40 men [85.1%] and 7 women [14.9%]) with a mean age of 56.8 years met the inclusion criteria, and 80.1% were followed up with at a mean of 27.1 months postoperatively. Twenty-nine patients (76.3%) had returned to golf with a mean handicap change of +1.0 (P=0.291). Golf frequency decreased from a mean of 1.8 rounds per week preinjury to 1.5 rounds per week postoperatively (P=0.052). The EuroQol 5-dimension 5-level (EQ-5D-5L) index and visual analog scale (EQ-VAS) score were significantly greater in those returning to golf (P=0.024 and P=0.002), although functional outcome measures were not significantly different. The primary barriers to return were ipsilateral shoulder dysfunction (78%) and loss of the habit of play (22%). Conclusions: Golfers were likely (76%) to return to golf following RC repair, including mostly to their premorbid performance level with little residual symptomatology. Return to golf was associated with a greater QoL. Persistent subjective shoulder dysfunction (78%) was the most common barrier to returning to golf. Level of evidence: Level IV.

Access to safe and affordable drinking water is a basic need for every human being. However, with Lusaka Province being the fastest province in Zambia, it is evident that the rapid development of upcoming residential areas as well as illegal settlements in the outskirts of the city has outplaced the installation of water supply system by the water utility company. Therefore, the main aim of this study was to assess Lusaka Water and Sewerage Company’s competitive priorities in its endeavor to provide safe and affordable water services in Lusaka’s upcoming residential areas. The research employed a non-intervention approach. Structured questionnaires and interviews were used for data collection. 30 household questionnaires were administered to households in Libala, Chalala and Obama residential areas respectively. Two water samples were collected randomly from each location and tested for quality. The findings showed that cost of drilling a residential borehole was K 17,351 with the reported minimum cost at K5000 and maximum at K75, 000. Borehole water from Chalala and Obama was found to be contaminated with total and feacal coliform bacteria. Nonetheless, piped water in Libala was found to be compliant with the World Health Organisation (WHO) standards. The residents in Libala were also generally satisfied with the water supply services, but had concerns over the high water tariffs, the late response to water problems and the elevated levels of chlorine in the water. Majority of the respondents also reported that a decentralized water supply system was an innovative idea. From the overall findings, the main operational core competency identified was the water quality. As a result, for LWSC to extend water supply to the upcoming residential areas in Lusaka, it was recommended that LWSC formulates a welldocumented operations strategy that will focus on the cost of the service and time of service delivery. These can be achieved through a well thought out and implementable capacity strategy and asset management. Capacity strategy will involve decisions on the sizing, timing, type and location of real assets or resources.

Due to the magnitude and complexity of many of these projects, contractors have resorted to subcontracting to share responsibilities and mitigate project risks. The Zambian government has also invigorated the practice of subcontracting in the construction industry as it plays an imperative role in increasing economy viability and development of local contractors. Ministerial Statement on July 25, 2012 directed RDA to ensure minimum of 20 percent sub-contracting on all major road contracts to Zambian-Owned Companies. Instead of improving project success, subcontracting can act as a catalyst for poor project outcomes. Though there are many reasons that contribute to problems from subcontracting, a strained relationship between main contractors and subcontractors can be seen as a notorious contributor to poor project outcome. The study aimed at investigating the relationship between main contractors and subcontractors in Zambia, establish factors leading to interface problems and those factor that can help improve this relationship. Questionnaire survey was adopted in order to collect data and investigate the relationship. A total of 80 questionnaires were distributed. The questionnaires were distributed by hand and via email. Out of the targeted 80 respondents 56 responded, giving a response rate of 70 percent. The study established that the relationship between main contractors and subcontractors in Zambia needed to improve, as it was not in an effective state. Interface problems were caused by payment issues, poor communication, unexpected price escalations and poor construction work. In order to address interface problems, the study found that there was need for better communication between the parties, timely payments and subcontractors’ access to labour and machinery

Small reservoirs in arid and semi-arid areas help rural communities to cope with prolonged dry spells. More recently, the construction and operation of small reservoirs has resulted in upstream versus downstream water use conflicts in some river basins. In this regard, bathymetric information could be used as a tool to monitor the available surface water, and minimize or prevent water conflicts. The challenge is that it is difficult to survey a large number of reservoirs using the traditional sounding methods. Despite the availability of new methods of conducting bathymetric surveys, their utilization in Africa is still low, particularly for depth measurements of small reservoirs. This paper presents modern bathymetric survey and analysis techniques applied for quantifying the capacities of small reservoirs, using the case of the Kaleya River Basin in southern Zambia. The objectives of the survey were to: i) create a database of reservoir storage capacities; and ii) introduce an efficient modern approach of monitoring small reservoir storage capacities. A remote controlled Coden hydrographic survey boat equipped with a SONAR device mounted with Trimble OmniSTAR VBS providing DGPS was used to capture and record hydrographic (xyz) data with greater accuracy. Data analysis was done using Surfer 13 Golden software to produce ten contoured bathymetric maps of surveyed reservoirs. From this information, the reservoir capacities were computed, thus providing information on water stored in reservoirs in the basin. It is concluded that the quantification of storage capacity of small reservoirs using SONAR and GIS provides a quicker and cost effective way of obtaining accurate bathymetric data. Such data is important in resolving water use conflicts in river basins and for decision-making in the context of multiple water uses, climate change and or variability.
Bravo Segrave!
Authors: Segrave Jeffrey
Published: April 2023

On March 29, 1927, Sir Henry Segrave hurtled down Florida's Daytona Beach to establish a new world land speed record of 203 mph. Two years later, Segrave returned to Daytona Beach to reclaim the land speed record for England, driving at over 231 mph. His achievements were hailed in every leading newspaper in England and the United States. This article interrogates the cultural significance of Segrave's feats and argues that Segrave personified an era intoxicated with the allure of speed and infatuated with the power of the machine. Segrave also straddled the cultural divide between the values and virtues of the Victorian era and the emergence of the new technologically sophisticated modern world. Even more significantly, Segrave stood astride a tectonic shift in the place and role of England in the postwar world.
Arsenic and Axes

Published: April 2023

Crime and murder, in particular, is a facet of Polonia history both misunderstood and very often overlooked. True crime stories, especially those involving murder, are among the most popular genres in popular culture. Fascination with murder is not a recent development but dates back to the beginning of journalism. For many readers, their first encounter with murder is in the pages of the daily newspaper. Between 1876 and 1925, the local press reported twenty-one murders involving Baltimore Poles as both victims and perpetrators. These real-life homicides from Baltimore's Polonia history offer an opportunity to explore how their contemporaries regarded perpetrator, victim, and the act itself. They also offer insights into the harmful impact of immigration within the Polish community. The loss of kin support networks found in the old country and poverty experienced in their new homes sometimes lead to dysfunctional families. This disorder could result in heavy drinking, juvenile delinquency, and both petty and significant crime. Murder, as the most atypical of crime, also generated more print in the local press. These case studies were selected because they were all given extensive newspaper coverage. Family reminiscences supplement the newspaper accounts. Even today, two of these murders still resonate in local folklore.

Authors:   Department of Economics, Management, University of Aveiro, Portugal, Akbar Altaf
Published: April 2023

People are dependent on Social Media Networks (SMNs) to get in time information about crises. Therefore, emergency managers are interested in how individuals participate in social media networking sites after crises, as well as in how to encourage their participation. Based on the theory of self-determination, this study builds a theoretical model to investigate how various varieties of motivation lead to different kinds of participation in SMNs after a crisis. A survey was conducted after COVID-19, which occurred in China and Europe at the end of December 2019. The 310 data were gathered by a "time-lagged, two-wave survey" and "convenience sampling." According to the findings of this study, autonomous motivation is strongly linked to posting new COVID-19 content, while controlled motivation is significantly linked to commenting on others' COVID-19 content. Moreover, perceived autonomy and perceived relatedness are positively associated with autonomous motivation. This study proposes that crisis managers might wish to enhance various kinds of motivations; dependent on the particular take-part behavior chosen post crises. Moreover, perceived autonomy and relatedness are positively associated with autonomous motivation. The study proposes that risk managers may seek to promote different forms of motives based on the preferred style of participation after a crisis.

Published: April 2023

Pneumonia is a life-threatening disease and early detection can save lives, many automated systems have contributed to the detection of this disease and currently deep learning models have become one of the most widely used models for building these systems. In this study, two deep learning models are combined: DenseNet169 and pre-activation ResNet models, and used for automatic detection of pneumonia. DenseNet169 model is an extension of the ResNet model, while the second is a modified version the ResNet model, these models achieved good results in the field of medical imaging. Two methods are used to deal with the problem of unbalanced data: class weight, which enables to control the percentage of data to be used from the original data for each class of data, while the other method is resampling, in which modified images are produced with an equal distribution using data augmentation. The performance of the proposed model is evaluated using a balanced dataset consists of 5856 images. Achieved results were promising compared to several previous studies. The model achieved a precision value of 98%, an area under curve (AUC) based on ROC of 97%, and a loss value of 0.23.

Gambaran Pelaku Riba Perspektif Al-Qur’an
Authors: Syukkur Abdul
Published: April 2023

The Qur'an calls the perpetrator of usury like a dazed person in the afterlife, because he does not have a firm foothold, so he is unable to support his body and staggers. This kind of image of usury perpetrators is proof that usury behavior is very bad. This research provides a description of how bad the fate of usury perpetrators is in the Qur'an, by collecting verses from the Qur'an about the description of usury perpetrators, mentioning the interpretation of the mufassir, describing the whole picture and complementing it with the hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad SAW.  The conclusion of this study gets the idea that the perpetrator of usury will not rise from his grave at the end of the world, other than to exist in a state like a strangled madman, and another picture of punishment in the afterlife.

Published: April 2023

Objective Due to its comprehensive, reliable, and valid format, the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) is the gold standard for assessing the clinical competency of medical students. In the present study, we evaluated the importance of the OSCE as a learning tool for postgraduate (PG) residents assessing their junior undergraduate students. We further aimed to analyze quality improvement during the pre-coronavirus disease (COVID) and COVID periods.Methods This quality-improvement interventional study was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. The PG residents were trained to conduct the OSCE. A formal feedback form was distributed to 22 participants, and their responses were analyzed using a five-point Likert scale. Fishbone analysis was performed, and the ‘plan-do-study-act’ (PDSA) cycle was implemented to improve the OSCE.Results Most of the residents (95%) believed that this examination system was extremely fair and covered a wide range of clinical skills and knowledge. Further, 4.5% believed it was more labor- and resource intensive and time-consuming. Eighteen (81.8%) residents stated that they had learned all three domains: communication skills, time management skills, and a stepwise approach to clinical scenarios. The PDSA cycle was run eight times, resulting in a dramatic improvement (from 30% to 70%) in the knowledge and clinical skills of PGs and the standard of OSCE.Conclusion The OSCE can be used as a learning tool for young assessors who are receptive to novel tools. The involvement of PGs in the OSCE improved their communication skills and helped overcome human resource limitations while manning various OSCE stations.

Published: April 2023

Potatoes are one of the widely consumed foods throughout the world. Usage of potatoes increases day by day. India is the second largest country in producing potatoes. It is good if we predict the disease earlier. By this wastage of potatoes decreases. Most of the potato disease can be predicted based on condition of leaf. Potato disease are of 2 types – Early blight and Late blight. Dataset is taken from Kaggle website which contains 2000 pictures of healthy and unhealthy potato’s leaf. The dataset contains three classes, two disease classes and one healthy potato class. Models are trained by different train-test splits to understand better and get accurate results. To test performance of the data Applied Accuracy Precision, Recall, F1 score and ROC/AUC curve are used. By using Gradient Boosting approach results are better even for mostly effected leaf.
Simulation of outdoor air pollution in Southampton

The city of Southampton is committed to monitoring and reducing outdoor air pollution, in particular, Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) and Particulate Matters (PM2.5/PM10), which have been linked with adverse health effects under short- or long-term exposure. This project investigates the air pollution contributed mainly by road sources, which consist of major and minor roads in Southampton, by using Atmospheric Dispersion Modelling Software (ADMSRoads), and provides further understanding on the air pollution contributions based on qualitative and quantitative analysis. The model was validated by comparing the modelled concentration with the observed data from the Southampton AURN pollution monitoring station. This study has found out that although the simulation exhibits a tendency to underpredict pollution concentrations, the dynamics of the model were relatively promising as it managed to capture the trends over time of the concentration of air pollutants relatively consistently. Therefore, future improvements to the model may be made by applying correction factors to overcome the bias offset to obtain more realistic predictions of air quality. The simulation has also correctly predicted poorer air quality within the Air Quality Management Areas (AQMA) declared by Southampton City Council (SCC), which implies that road sources have a notable contribution towards the air pollution. The advantages of this model are that it can be quickly altered to predict response to future policy actions and that it has sufficient resolution to be used for epidemiological studies linking air pollution with the prevalence of health conditions in the city. The findings so far indicate that further pollution control measures are still warranted as most of the pollutant concentrations from road sources exceed the latest (2021) WHO air quality guidelines developed to protect public health from effects of exposure to air pollutants.
Investigating the impacts of connected and automated vehicles on road carbon emissions: A semi-systematic literature review
Authors: Toliyat Seyed Mohammad Hossein , Remfry Catherine , Levi Isaac
Published: April 2023

Rapid development of Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) besides the urgency of cutting down carbon emissions in the next three decades raise a question about the impact of CAVs deployment on carbon emissions from transport sector. The uncertainties around this question are grave due to the complex interactions between technological capabilities, policy interventions and public travel behaviour. Previous modelling and simulation studies suggest a wide variation in how CAVs may contribute to carbon saving strategies or worsen CO2 emissions. This indicates a necessity for breaking the technology down into the mechanisms as well as features that directly or indirectly affect emissions at vehicular and/or network levels.

This paper aims to investigate the mechanisms and different ways that CAVs may decrease or increase road carbon emissions in order to constrain the uncertainties. A semi-systematic literature review was designed and conducted which resulted in identification of 40 relevant publications and documents. Subsequently, 38 levers were ascertained and classified across five major categories: i) emissions per mile; ii) emissions per vehicle; iii) emissions from infrastructure; iv) vehicle miles travelled (VMT); and v) emissions per manufactured vehicle.

The estimates for potential impacts of the most significant levers on key performance indicators (KPIs) such as VMT, vehicle occupancy rate and number of manufactured vehicles are provided. Some of the plausible policy interventions are discussed. The findings are also closely related to energy consumption (other than carbon emissions). Therefore, the results can be used for studying potential implications for mass adoption of automated and electric vehicles (AEVs).
Tibial avascular necrosis in a trimalleolar ankle fracture
Authors: Renier Edee , Powell Eric
Published: April 2023

Fractures involving the distal tibia and fibula are challenging to treat, and can have debilitating sequelae. While many fractures can be treated conservatively, open reduction with internal fixation for displaced or unstable variants is the standard of care. Complications in treatment of these complex fractures are relatively common and often unavoidable. The authors present the case study of a 49 year-old female who underwent open reduction with internal fixation of a closed  Danis Weber type-B trimalleolar ankle fracture and suffered avascular necrosis of the anterior lateral tibial plafond. This patient underwent successful trimalleolar ankle fracture fixation surgery, and subsequently suffered collapse of the anterior lateral aspect of the tibia 14 weeks following her index procedure. This case study lends an example of avascular necrosis causing devastating osseous collapse despite timely and robust fracture fixation.

Reflexiones sobre Neurociencia, Influencia y Economía Conductual.
Authors: Domínguez-Muñoz Antonio
Published: April 2023

Se revisan diversos aspectos parciales para buscar los motivos que subyacen a las decisiones que tomamos los seres humanos, poniendo especial énfasis en su racionalidad o irracionalidad con respecto a un objetivo implícito y superficial, sea este maximizar el beneficio de la economía clásica o vivir más felices desde un enfoque psicológico.Desde ese punto de vista, nuestras decisiones parecen irracionales. Sin embargo, si los seres humanos somos animales racionales, también somos animales y mostramos, por ello, los efectos de millones de años de evolución. La pregunta, entonces, sería ¿por qué ha evolucionado nuestro cerebro para hacer el tipo de elecciones que hace?
Feedback and winning-losing probability effects on economic behavior in risky choices decision-making
Authors: Pérez-Acosta Andrés M. , Farina Rafael , Valle Mauricio A. , Oliveira Bueno José Lino
Published: April 2023

Myopic Loss Aversion (MLA) is one of the study objects of behavioral economics. It corresponds to the fact that participants, when facing choice situations, cannot rationally evaluate the risks and profits of available options, leading them to choose investments more likely to occur but less profitable. This behavior shows that they cannot evaluate the options satisfactorily, so they have sub-optimal decisions. There may be conditions for MLA more favorable for it to occur, as the frequency one shows the participant the outcomes of their choices (feedback) and the probability of winning or losing. In this way, this study aims to evaluate how feedback influences participants' choices and the influence and interaction of the winning and losing probability. This study had the participation of 80 people, ages 18 to 30 years, all university students, 29 women and 51 men, without either relation to business degree courses or familiarity with the research area on economic behavior. The experiment consisted in making nine repeated choices in a lottery game. Participants started the experiment with R$1000 (a thousand) fictitious reais (Brazilian currency); each lottery game had a cost of 150 reais, and the profits returned this invested value with an addition of more 150 reais. The results indicate that the presence of feedback induces participants to bet more. However, the winning and losing probability do not influence the invested amount, and there was no interaction between these two factors.

La educación universitaria del siglo XXI está afrontando un cambio en los métodos de enseñanza aprendizaje. El estudiantado ha pasado de un proceso de aprendizaje pasivo (metodologías pasivas) basado en clases magistrales a un proceso de aprendizaje activo (metodologías activas) donde el alumno participa en las actividades de clase que previamente el docente ha planificado. Dentro de las metodologías activas, la clase invertida (flipped classroom) se está consolidando como una de las principales tendencias educativas. El objetivo de este estudio es aplicar la metodología activa de la clase invertida en una unidad de la asignatura de Contabilidad y aproximar si esta metodología mejora los resultados de aprendizaje del alumnado universitario, así como conocer su grado de satisfacción con la nueva metodología. La muestra del estudio está formada por alumnado matriculado del curso académico 2021-22 en la asignatura de Contabilidad del Grado en Turismo y que realizó el examen final de la asignatura (Grupo Experimental). Y como grupo de comparación se tomaron los/as estudiantes del curso anterior (Grupo de Comparación), cuyas clases se desarrollaron a través de la clase magistral. El procedimiento para implementar la clase invertida se realizó en cuatro fases y para conocer el grado de satisfacción de los/as alumnos/as con la metodología del aula invertida, se les pidió a los/as estudiantes que realizaran un cuestionario anónimo y voluntario. Los resultados del estudio indican que la implantación de la metodología de la clase invertida está asociada con una mejora en el rendimiento académico y a un alto grado de satisfacción del estudiantado independientemente del sexo y la edad. Este estudio aporta una evidencia empírica sobre la investigación de la docencia en el área de la Contabilidad, y en particular, sobre la influencia de la clase invertida en la actitud sobre el estudiantado y los resultados académicos de una asignatura.
