Objectives: In this study, we presented our results regarding outcomes ofsurgical correction of sub-aortic membrane. Study Design: Retrospective observational study.Period: June 2012 to June 2017. Setting: CPEIC Multan, Pakistan. Methods: 51 patientsoperated for resection of sub aortic membrane. The resection of sub aortic membrane wasdone through the aorta. Evaluation of the aortic valve done in all patients. The aortic valve waseither replaced or repaired in cases of severe aortic regurgitation. Associated lesions such asventricular septal defects (VSD’s) were repaired with a dacron patch through the right atriumwhile ASD’s were repaired with a pericardial patch. Post-operative echocardiography was donebefore discharge and post-op LVOT gradients and aortic insufficiency were recorded for allthe patients. Results: There were 36 males and 15 females whose mean ages were 16.29years. On post-op echocardiography there was no residual significant LVOT gradient in anypatient. Three (3) patients developed mild to moderate aortic regurgitation post operativelybut none of them warrant any surgical intervention. There was only 1 death in the series whichwas due to VSD patch dehiscence. None of the patients developed conduction problems postoperatively needing any permanent pace maker. Mean pre-op LVOT gradient was 94.7 mmHgwhile it reduced to 20.7 post operatively (p-value <0.001). Conclusion: We concluded thatearly resection of sub aortic membrane can be safely accomplished with good results andsignificant drop in the mean LVOT pressure gradients post operatively.

Authors: ULUŞAHİN Mehmet , TOMAS Kadir , ARSLAN Mithat Kerim
Published: August 2021

Non-recurrent inferior laryngeal nerve (NRLN) is a very rare nerve variation seen during thyroidectomy. Identification and preservation of this nerve is crucial for post-operative life of the patient. In this paper, we presented a 55-year old female patient with right NRLN identified during operation performed due to multinodular goiter (MNG). This presented case was intraoperatively identified as NRLN during right lobe dissection and it was preserved through its course until entrance to the larynx with careful dissection. Patient was discharged at first postoperative day without problem during postoperative monitoring. Anatomic variations may cause nerve damage; therefore identification and preservation with careful dissection have utmost importance.

Published: August 2021

Introduction: The aim of this study is to evaluate the median maxillary labial frenum (MMLF) type and morphology and its associations with age and gender.

Patients and Methods: The present study was conducted on 1023 patients who attended to University Child and Adult Dental Clinic. Patients were divided into five age groups. The MMLF type and morphology of the patients were evaluated under dental unit light and classified according to the criterias described by Mirko et al. and Sewerin.

Results: 1023 patients included in the study, 51.4% (524) were male and 49.9% (498) were female. In all groups, gingival type (55.2%) frenum was the most frequently observed MMLF type, while simple frenum (66.9%) was the most frequently observed MMLF morphology. Papillar and papillar penetration types were observed more frequently in GI, GII and GIII groups compared to the GIV and GV groups. Persistent tectolabial type frenum was observed in only 3 patients in GI group and was not observed in any of the age groups. Although there were no significant differences were observed between MMLF type and gender, there were significant differences between MMLF type and age. MMLF is a small anatomical process yet it differs in type and morphology. It can be concluded that, with aging, the MMLF attachment level shifts from coronal to a more apical level.

Conclusions: The present study showed that, dental practitioners should be aware of the MMLF type and morphology variations in order to avoid excessive treatment especially in young patients.

Justification of Conditions for Application of Automated Control Systems for Surface Mining during Construction of In Pit Crushing and Conveying System using Simulation Modeling
Authors: Rylnikova M.V. , Vlasov A.V. , Makeev M.A.
Published: August 2021

The simulation modeling approach described in the article is intended to assess the efficiency of geo-technologies and can be applied: 1) to evaluate the implementation of smart geotechnologies with digital transformation of the mining systems; 2) to select the mining and transportation management system as well as the preferred logistic scheme of the mine. This approach makes it possible to make more reasonable investment decisions based on an objective quantitative assessment. Simulation modeling should be based on the results of geotechnical justification of structural parameters of the pit walls and benches in operating and limit states. Transition to automated systems to control smart geotechnologies in programmable mode and timely inclusion of the In Pit Crushing and Conveying (IPCC) technology into the transport scheme helps to: 1) remove people from the working zones inside the open pit; 2) significantly reduce the ore mining costs; 3) advance to a higher level of technology in developing the deposits; 4) process ores that were previously considered substandard. As an example, the assessment results are provided of the implementation of new rock mass transportation technologies at the Codelco copper mine in Chile in the Radomiro Tomic open pit.
A Dual-speed Induction Motor as a Source of Electrical Hazard in Operating Conditions of Coal Mine Process Support Areas
Authors: Denisova E.V. , Marenich K.N. , Dubinka E.S.
Published: August 2021

Hazardous states of the mine zonal electrical network are caused by the reversed energy flows of induction motors of the energy-consuming equipment in the run-down mode after the power supply is switched off. The electromotive force (EMF) induced in the powered-off stator windings of the dual-speed motors due to the transformer effect also pose a danger of electric shock. The paper presents a methodology and the results of studying the formation of induced EMFs in the powered-off stator windings of dual-speed induction motors, including the run-down mode and the functions that impact on the electromagnetic parameters. Analysis of the impact degree of these induced EMFs on the electrical safety parameters as part of the mine zonal electrical network is presented.

Objective: To characterize the epidemiological profile of patients treated at a hospital service with diagnosis of open fracture of the ankle and foot. Methods: Retrospective, descriptive, epidemiological, observational study of open fractures of the ankle and foot selected by convenience sampling in a hospital service in São Paulo, state of São Paulo, Brazil, from March 1, 2017, to March 1, 2019, totaling 109 patients. Data collection was conducted for the analysis of variables included in patients’ medical records. Results: The medical records of 700 patients with open fractures were assessed. Of these patients, 13.2% (109 patients) had open fractures of the ankle and foot. There was a predominance of male young adults (70.8%) and of left lower limb fractures (51.85%). Most cases were classified as Gustilo and Anderson type II fractures (42.6%). Motorcycle accidents (44.45%) predominated, and students and professional motorcyclists were the most frequent occupations (37.04%). The most adopted stabilization method was osteosynthesis (internal fixation) (44.45%), and primary amputation was required in 3.7% of the cases. Conclusion: Male young adults were the most affected by fractures of the ankle and foot, and traffic accidents were the leading cause. Most patients had an educational attainment of complete elementary education. Most fractures were classified as Gustilo and Anderson type II. Greater severity was observed in patients with associated injuries in other body segments and who developed early complications during hospitalization.

Wrinkle sign for the Silfverskiöld test
Authors: Sanhudo José Antonio Veiga , Canuto Giorgio Marin
Published: August 2021

Shortening of the triceps surae is evaluated using the Silfverskiöld test. The increase in dorsiflexion with the knee in flexion compared to the knee in extension makes the test positive. To perform the test, the examiner uses both hands and is not able to hold any device for objective measurement while assessing the magnitude of dorsiflexion. In view of this obstacle, this paper aims to describe a tip of a physical examination technique for evaluating the shortening of the triceps surae through the evaluation of the anterior wrinkle of the ankle. We performed the technique in a patient with shortening of the gastrocnemius and recorded the test, showing an increase in the anterior skinfold of the ankle. The test is simple, reproducible, requires no additional apparatus and shows variety in the severity of shortening. Level of Evidence V; Therapeutic Studies; Expert Opinion.
The influence of music and educational songs on EFL students' achievement from their teachers' perspective in Jenin Region
Authors:   Faculty of Major Language Studies, Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia, Bandar Baru Nilai, Malaysia, Bsharat Tahani
Published: August 2021

Music and songs are part of the lives of all. They bring a lot of knowledge about the culture and identity from which they were produced, as a cultural phenomenon. They influence the emotional domain of the lives of individuals and give their minds a deeper insight (Vishnevskaia and Zhou, 2019). This paper desires to explore the influence of music and educational songs on EFL students' achievement from their teachers' perspective in the Jenin region. The research has been designed to probe the role of songs in teaching English to EFL students. Literary research on songs has helped to highlight the importance of Educational songs in teaching EFL students. In this respect, the researchers adopt a mixed-method (qualitative and quantitative). Likewise, data was collected through a questionnaire administered to English teachers and interviews of ten English teachers. The findings analysis shows that music and educational songs are barely used to develop learners’ language skills. The ongoing research work suggests that EFL teachers should be trained on the effective use of educational songs and music in English classes. Moreover, schools and curriculum should be provided with educational songs teaching materials.

Published: August 2021

Many eighteenth-century writers were lavish in their praise of Franz Benda's solo performances on the violin, noting particularly his skill in extemporaneous ornamentation. The written-out graces that appear in all movements of these sonatas provide extensive musical documentation for Benda's style of performance and, perhaps more importantly, for eighteenth-century performance practice in general.

Background Percutaneous occlusion of ductus arteriosus is well established as the method of choice to treat this structural heart defect. A new generation of Amplatzer™ Duct Occluder II Aditional Sizes prostheses, with lower profile and greater flexibility, in addition to smaller retention discs, was developed for percutaneous treatment of patent ductus arteriosus. This study intended to demonstrate the experience of one center with the use of this device, evaluating technical aspects, immediate occlusion rates, and complications. Methods A retrospective study of a cohort of patients with patent ductus arteriosus treated with Amplatzer™ Duct Occluder II Aditional Sizes. Between October 2018 and March 2021, 27 patients with patent ductus arteriosus, types A and E according to the Krichenko classification, were treated with Amplatzer™ Duct Occluder II Aditional Sizes. The prosthesis was implanted by the usual anterograde approach in 25 patients, and retrograde in two cases. The prosthesis chosen were 2mm larger than the core of the defect, and the length of the prosthesis was 2mm for shorter lesions and smaller infants, and between 4 and 6mm for longer lesions. Results Out of 27 patients, 52% were female, with a mean age and weight of 44.2 months (1 to 135 months) and 15.8kg (2,0 to 29kg), respectively. In the sample, 11 patients presented type A patent ductus arteriosus, and 16 type E, with a mean ratio of 1.9:1 between the prosthesis waist and the central diameter. In all patients, the device was successfully implanted, and only one patient remained with residual shunt, presenting embolization of the prosthesis. This patient had the ductus arteriosus closed by another prosthesis. Conclusion Amplatzer™ Duct Occluder II Aditional Sizes demonstrated safety, versatility, and efficiency in cases of appropriate anatomy. The experience demonstrated here is from a single center, with the Amplatzer™ Duct Occluder II Aditional Sizes. Its increased flexibility and softness demand greater operator expertise.

Published: August 2021

One of the biggest problems faced by the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia is the handling of the problem of corruption which seems to never end, both in terms of eradicating or implementing laws regarding corruption. In Indonesia, an independent institution specifically dealing with corruption issues has been established, namely the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) since 2002. However, the fact is that until 2020 it has not really been able to effectively address the problem of corruption in Indonesia with various arrests made by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). proves that the problem of corruption that occurs inthis country and the government in Indonesia needs serious attention from various parties who play an important role in dealing with the problem. This writing aims to determine the extent to which legal certainty applies in the process of eradicating corruption in Indonesia, the researchmethod used is the normative research method. Based on the results of the research conducted, it can be concluded that the laws governing and law enforcement officials inovercoming the problem of corruption in Indonesia have not been fully effective in providing legal certainty to corrupt actors and the application of existing laws has not been able to fully guarantee the disappearance or no more corruption. will happen in the future, and there is a need for prevention that can give birth to new corruptors in the future by further increasing anti-corruption learning programs and carrying out various socialization or prevention of acts of corruption from an early age which is felt to help overcome the problem of corruptors in this country.
Two urgent needs in the battle against COVID-19
Authors: Franco Rafael , Serrano-Marin Joan
Published: August 2021

Countries where only RNA and adenoviral (AV)-based vaccines are available need (urgently) the approval of classic-type (e.g. inactivated) anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccines; also, specific anti-COVID-19 medication is needed to combat the pandemic. Setting a threshold of 30% (in percentage of vaccinated population), the proportion of new cases versus total cases in Countries using RNA/AV vaccines increases (data taken from the date reaching 30% until August 22, 2021), where it decreases in the few countries mainly using CoronaVac inactivated vaccine. Although a third boosting shot with a different vaccine (heterologous boosting) is contemplated in Countries using CoronaVac inactivated vaccine (Uruguay and Israel), the equivalent heterologous boosting is not possible in those Countries that have not yet approved any classic-type vaccine.
Putting peer review to the test: A response to Caputo
Authors: Dunleavy Daniel J.
Published: August 2021

In a recent essay in Families in Society, Caputo replies to my call for a more robust system of peer review. In this brief response, I outline points of agreement and disagreement between the two of us. Ultimately, I find that our overarching goal, if perhaps implicitly, is the same: We both want to see a better system of peer review in the discipline of social work. I close with some considerations about the testing of peer review within social work journals, which I hope will help pave the way toward a more fruitful, rigorous, and transparent programme of research and knowledge governance.

Taka wiedza wydaje się być przydatna nie tylko legislatorom i konstytucjonalistom, czy osobom naukowo zajmującym się tę tematyką, ale także każdemu obywatelowi,który jest zainteresowany tę formą aktywnego udziału w życiu publicznym. Szczególna uwaga została zwrócona na problematykę zgromadzeń o charakterze spontanicznym, gdyż ich sytuacja prawna jest nie do końca jednoznacznie określona w polskim systemie.
On Quantum Gravity If Non-Locality Is Fundamental
Authors: Kauffman Stuart
Published: August 2021

I take non-locality to be the Michaelson Morley experiment of the early 21st Century, assume its universal validity, and try to derive its consequences. Spacetime, with its locality, cannot be fundamental, but must somehow be emergent from entangled coherent quantum variables and their behaviors. There are, then, two immediate consequences: i. If we start with non-locality, we need not explain non-locality. We must instead explain an emergence of locality and spacetime. ii. There can be no emergence of spacetime without matter. These propositions flatly contradict General Relativity, which is foundationally local, can be formulated without matter, and in which there is no “emergence” of spacetime.If these be true, then quantum gravity cannot be a minor alteration of General Relativity but must demand its deep reformulation. This will almost inevitably lead to: Matter not only curves spacetime, but “creates” spacetime.We will see independent grounds for the assertion that matter both curves and creates spacetime that may invite a new union of quantum gravity and General Relativity.This quantum creation of spacetime consists in: i. Fully non-local entangled coherent quantum variables.ii. The onset of locality via decoherence. iii. A metric in Hilbert Space among entangled quantum variables by the sub-additive von Neumann Entropy between pairs of variables. iv. Mapping from metric distances in Hilbert Space to metric distances in classical spacetime by episodic actualization events.v. Discrete spacetime is the relations among these discrete actualization events. vi. “Now” is the shared moment of actualization of one among the entangled variables when the amplitudes of the remaining entangled variables change instantaneously.vii. The discrete, successive, episodic, irreversible actualization events constitute a quantum arrow of time. viii. The arrow of time history of these events is recorded in the very structure of the spacetime constructed. ix. Actual Time is a succession of two or more actual events.The theory inevitably yields a UV cut-off of a new type. The cut-off is a phase transition between continuous spacetime before the transition and discontinuous spacetime beyond the phase transition.This quantum creation of spacetime modifies general relativity and may account for Dark Energy, Dark Matter, and the possible elimination of the singularities of General Relativity.Relations to Causal Set Theory, faithful Lorentzian manifolds, and past and future light cones joined at “Actual Now” are discussed.Possible observational and experimental tests based on: i. the existence of Sub- Planckian photons, ii. knee and ankle discontinuities in the high energy gamma ray spectrum, and iii. possible experiments to detect a creation of spacetime in the Casimir system are discussed. A quantum actualization enhancement of repulsive Casimir effect would be anti-gravitational and of possible practical use.The ideas and concepts discussed here are not yet a theory, but at most the start of a framework that may be useful.
Early Identifications of Apollo with the Physical Sun in Ancient Greece Tradition and Interpretation
Authors: Bilić Tomislav
Published: August 2021

It appears that Apollo’s identification with the physical sun is predominantly understood in modern scholarship as a philosophical interpretation of a traditional religious belief. More precisely, it is often understood as an application of physical allegoresis on the tenets of traditional religion and thus attributed to a later stratum of Greek thought. A new evaluation of ancient evidence presented here reveals that the Apollo-sun identification was present in Greek ethnographic context from the earliest period and cannot be reduced to a philosophical reinterpretation of traditional myth and religion. At the same time, the authors interested in the interpretation of traditional religion in terms of natural philosophy were especially prone to use the Apollo-sun identification in their works, since it was able to provide substantial support for their hermeneutic approach.
On the Neurocognitive Co-Evolution of Tool Behavior and Language: Insights from the Massive Redeployment Framework

Understanding the link between brain evolution and the evolution of distinctive features of modern human cognition is a fundamental challenge. A still unresolved question concerns the co-evolution of tool behavior (i.e., tool use or tool making) and language. The shared neurocognitive processes hypothesis suggests that the emergence of the combinatorial component of language skills within the frontal lobe/Broca’s area made possible the complexification of tool-making skills. The importance of frontal lobe/Broca’s area in tool behavior is somewhat surprising with regard to the literature on neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience, which has instead stressed the critical role of the left inferior parietal lobe. Therefore, to be complete, any version of the shared neurocognitive processes hypothesis needs to integrate the potential interactions between the frontal lobe/Broca’s area and the left inferior parietal lobe as well as their co-evolution at a phylogenetic level. Here we sought to provide first elements of answer through the use of the massive deployment framework, which posits that evolutionarily older brain areas are deployed in more cognitive functions (i.e., they are less specific). We focused on the left parietal cortex, and particularly the left areas PF, PGI, and AIP, which are known to be involved in tool use, language, and motor control, respectively. The deployment of each brain area in different cognitive functions was measured by conducting a meta-analysis of neuroimaging studies. Our results confirmed the pattern of specificity for each brain area and also showed that the left area PGI was far less specific than the left areas PF and AIP. From these findings, we discuss the different evolutionary scenarios depicting the potential co-evolution of the combinatorial and generative components of language and tool behavior in our lineage.
A Broad Internalizing Dimension Accounts for the Genetic Associations between Personality and Individual Internalizing Disorders
Authors: Poore Holly , Watts Ashley L. , Friedman Hannah , Waldman Irwin
Published: August 2021

Much research has demonstrated that psychopathology can be described in terms of broad dimensions, representing liability for multiple psychiatric disorders. Broad spectra of psychopathology (e.g., internalizing and externalizing) are increasingly used as targets for research investigating the development, etiology, and course of psychopathology because they account for patterns of relatedness among disorders that were once presumed distinct. Thus, these spectra represent alluring targets for such study due to their comprehensive and parsimonious nature. Nevertheless, little research has established the role of individual disorders over and above broad dimensions in the study of psychopathology. In the current study, we investigate whether there are unique etiological associations between individual internalizing disorders and personality traits after accounting for their etiological associations with a broad internalizing dimension. We used a representative sample of twins (Npairs = 448) ages 4-19 to examine the etiological associations between internalizing psychopathology and Big 5 personality dimensions. Internalizing was positively genetically associated with neuroticism and negatively genetically associated with extraversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness. Moreover, internalizing accounted for most of the genetic variance shared between individual internalizing disorders and personality traits. Nevertheless, there were unique genetic associations between the following pairs of personality traits and disorders: neuroticism and social anxiety, extraversion and social anxiety, agreeableness and depression, and conscientiousness and compulsions. There was little evidence of environmental influences shared between internalizing and personality. In sum, a broad internalizing dimension adequately accounts for almost all of the etiological covariation between internalizing and personality, with several interesting exceptions.
A Scoping Review of Behavior Change Techniques Used to Promote Physical Activity among Women in Midlife

Published: August 2021

Women in midlife experience health risks that could be mitigated by regular physical activity (PA), but rarely achieve PA levels that can protect their health. As a result, many behavioral interventions are designed to promote PA in this population, though their efficacy and effectiveness appear to be limited. It is not clear which theoretical models or associated behavior change techniques (BCTs) are used in PA interventions designed for women in midlife, and little is known about how BCTs are activated in such interventions. A synthesis of this information would be useful as an initial step toward improving PA interventions for this at-risk group, and thus, represented the goal of the present scoping review. Of the 4,410 initial results, 51 articles met inclusion criteria, and these described 36 unique interventions. More than half of the articles (59%) named an underlying theoretical model and interventions included an average of 3.76 identifiable BCTs (range 1-11). However, descriptions of many interventions were limited and did not provide enough detail to determine whether or how specific BCTs were activated. The present review identifies important limitations of existing literature and key opportunities for advancing the design of PA interventions for women in midlife.
“Aduhai Malangnya Pak Kaduk, Ayamnya Menang Kampung Tergadai” Sebagai Manifestasi Kritikan dalam Kancah Politik Tempatan: Analisis Pragmatik

Published: August 2021

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis baris seloka Pak Kaduk “Aduhai malangnya Pak Kaduk, ayamnya menang kampung tergadai” dengan kancah politik tempatan. Data kajian ini diperoleh melalui antologi Lukisan Zaman oleh Shaari (1991) dan enjin pencarian Facebook (isu semasa berkaitan politik tempatan). Bagi mempertalikan data kajian ini, pengkaji telah menggunakan pendekatan pragmatik: Teori Relevans oleh Sperber dan Wilson (1986). Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa, wujudnya manifestasi kritikan terhadap baris seloka ini seperti, “kritikan terhadap sikap seseorang yang membuat keputusan secara melulu”, “kritikan terhadap sikap seseorang yang tidak memikirkan keputusan yang diambilnya akan menyebabkan orang lain terkena tempias” dan “kritikan terhadap golongan atasan menggunakan kuasa atau tipu helah untuk memperdayakan orang bawahan”. Rumusannya, manifestasi kritikan terhadap baris seloka ini tidak terhenti pada peringkat permukaannya sahaja, namun maknanya dapat diperluas dalam konteks politik semasa. Kajian ini diharap dapat menjadikan khazanah lisan tinggalan nenek moyang ini sebagai rujukan lanjut dalam memperkatakan perihal suasana politik tempatan semasa. Hal ini dikatakan demikian kerana sejarah sesebuah negara itu juga boleh dirujuk melalui hasil kesusasteraannya.
Cultural Consumption and Covid-19: Evidence from the Taking Part and COVID-19 Cultural Participation Monitor surveys

Published: August 2021

How did cultural consumption change during the Covid-19 pandemic? Whilst the impact of the pandemic on cultural production has been given significant attention, work on consumption has seen less attention (Roberts 2020 on leisure time notwithstanding). This paper addresses this gap in the literature by presenting a comparative analysis of two, nationally representative, surveys of cultural activity in England. The analysis demonstrates that, when cultural consumption moved online and to digital modes of delivery and engagement as a result of the pandemic, there was no discernible transformation in the stratification of cultural participation in England. The majority of the population, characterised by the absence of participation in formal, and often state-funded, cultural forms, saw no change to their patterns of engagement. Where cultural consumption did increase, this was among the small minority of people who were already highly engaged. This minority maps closely onto pre-existing inequalities identified by existing research on cultural consumption, in England and beyond. For cultural consumption and the stratification of taste, it seems that the ‘new normal’ of pandemic life was much like the ‘old normal’ of an art and cultural audience characterised by significant inequality.
