Acetabular defects are a major obstacle to achieving good outcomes after revision hip arthroplasty. One way to deal with this problem is to use acetabular augments. We aimed to describe mid-term outcomes of revision hip arthroplasty using acetabular augments.Materials and methods. We analyzed 85 cases (83 patients) of revision hip arthroplasty using acetabular augments performed during 2012-2018 period: 53 women and 30 men with average age of 57±13 years (25-79). Distribution of acetabular defects was: 51 cases — Paprosky IIIA, 17 cases — Paprosky IIIB, 12 cases — Paprosky IIB, 5 cases — Paprosky IIC. 14 patients had chronic pelvic discontinuity. Aseptic loosening was indication for the operation in 83 cases, periprosthetic hip fracture — 1, dislocation — 1. The amount of previously undregone ipsilateral hipsurgeries was 1 in 35 cases, 2 in 25 cases, 3 and more in 25 cases. Average follow-up period was 38±19 months (1-79).Results. The average HHS score improved from 37±7 preoperatively to 73±9 after 3 months and to 80±11 after 12 months postoperatively (p = 0.001). Average VAS score improved from 7±2 preoperatively to 4±1 after 3 months and to 3±1 after 12 months postoperatively (p = 0.001). Stable acetabular fixation was achieved in each case according to X-ray findings at final follow-up. However, radiolucent lines were present around the cup in 10 cases (11.8 %) followed by no clinical evidence of aseptic loosening. Hip center of rotation was restored from 26.40±18.38 mm (4-75) preoperatively to 4.78±5.02 mm (0-20) postoperatively relatively to 0 point. Complications manifested in 9 out of 85 cases (10,6%). Distribution of complications was: periprosthetic joint infection in 6 cases, recurrent dislocation — 2, periprosthetic hip fracture — 1.7 patients required implant removal and exchange.Conclusions. Good mid-term outcomes can be achieved using acetabular augments during hip revision surgery in setting of acetabular defects. Acetabular augments are a reliable option in case of Paprosky IIIB, IIIA defects and chronic pelvic discontinuity, providing good mechanical stability.
The Effectiveness of Internet-Based Self-Help Interventions to Reduce Suicidal Ideation: Protocol for a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Büscher Rebekka , Torok Michelle , Sander Lasse
Published: May 2019

Background

Suicidal ideation is a highly prevalent condition. There are several barriers for individuals to seek treatment that may be addressed by providing internet-based self-help interventions (ISIs). Current evidence suggests that ISIs for mental disorders may only be effective in reducing suicidal ideation if they specifically target suicidal thoughts or behaviors.

Objective

The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to investigate the effectiveness of ISIs that directly target suicidal thoughts or behaviors.

Methods

We will conduct a sensitive systematic literature search in PsycINFO, MEDLINE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and the Centre for Research Excellence of Suicide Prevention databases. Only randomized controlled trials evaluating the effectiveness of ISIs for suicide prevention will be included. Interventions must be delivered primarily in a Web-based setting; mobile-based interventions and interventions targeting gatekeepers will be excluded. Suicide ideation will be the primary outcome; secondary outcomes will be completed suicides, suicide attempts, depressiveness, anxiety, and hopelessness. Study quality will be assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. We will provide a narrative synthesis of included studies. If studies are sufficiently homogenous, we will conduct a meta-analysis of the effectiveness on suicide ideation and, if possible, we will evaluate publication bias using funnel plots. We will evaluate the cumulative evidence in accordance with the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation framework.

Results

This review is in progress, with findings expected by August 2019.

Conclusions

This systematic review and meta-analysis focuses on the effectiveness of ISIs for suicidal thoughts and behaviors. It will provide guidance to clinical practice and encourage further research by synthesizing the best available evidence.

Reimbursement of Apps for Mental Health: Findings From Interviews (Preprint)
Authors: Powell Adam C , Bowman Matthias B , Harbin Henry T
Published: May 2019

BACKGROUND

Although apps and other digital and mobile health tools are helping improve the mental health of Americans, they are currently being reimbursed through a varied range of means, and most are not being reimbursed by payers at all.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to shed light on the state of app reimbursement. We documented ways in which apps can be reimbursed and surveyed stakeholders to understand current reimbursement practices.

METHODS

Individuals from over a dozen stakeholder organizations in the domains of digital behavioral and mental health, care delivery, and managed care were interviewed. A review of Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) and Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCSPCS) codes was conducted to determine potential means for reimbursement.

RESULTS

Interviews and the review of codes revealed that potential channels for app reimbursement include direct payments by employers, providers, patients, and insurers. Insurers are additionally paying for apps using channels originally designed for devices, drugs, and laboratory tests, as well as via value-based payments and CPT and HCSPCS codes. In many cases, it is only possible to meet the requirements of a CPT or HCSPCS code if an app is used in conjunction with human time and services.

CONCLUSIONS

Currently, many apps face significant barriers to reimbursement. CPT codes are not a viable means of providing compensation for the use of all apps, particularly those involving little physician work. In some cases, apps have sought clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration for prescription use as digital therapeutics, a reimbursement mechanism with as yet unproven sustainability. There is a need for simpler, more robust reimbursement mechanisms to cover stand-alone app-based treatments.

Numerical analysis of the stress-strain state of thin shells based on a joint triangular finite element
Authors: Klochkov Yuriy V , Nikolaev Anatoliy P , Vakhnina Olga V
Published: May 2019

Relevance. The use of the finite element method for determining the stressstrain state of thin-walled elements of engineering structures predetermines their discretization into separate finite elements. Splitting irregular parts of the structure is impossible without the use of triangular areas. The triangular elements of shell structures are joint in displacements and in their derivatives only at the nodal points. Therefore, ways to improve the compatibility conditions at the boundaries of triangular elements are relevant. Aims of research. The aim of the work is to improve the compatibility conditions at the boundaries of adjacent triangular elements based on equating the derivatives of normal displacements in the middle of the boundary sides. Methods. In order to improve the compatibility conditions at the boundaries of triangular elements in this work, the Lagrange functional is used with the condition of ensuring equality in the middle of the sides of adjacent elements derived from normal displacements in the directions of perpendiculars tangent to the middle surface of the shell. Results. Using the example of analysing an elliptical shell, the efficiency of using a joint triangular finite element is shown, whose stiffness matrix is formed in accordance with the algorithm outlined in this article.

Aims of research. Investigation of a wave of unloading in a cylindrical network of nonlinear elastic fibers. Given the many options for wave propagation in cylindrical networks, an attempt is made to solve the problem of continuous waves. Methods. The movement of the network in the axial direction is cornsidered. nonlinear elastic fibers; To a basis of a cylindrical system are accepted: an individual vector i r parallel wave of unloading; cylindrical network; to a cylinder axis, j r · an individual vector of a tangent to cross-section section continuous waves of the cylinder, k · an individual vector perpendicular to the previous ones, x - is the coordinate in the direction of the axis of the cylinder, y - is the length of an arc of the circumference of the cylinder. The problem reduces to a hyperbolic system of equations under appropriate conditions. Since the wave speed increases when the net is stretched, the stretch wave will obviously be discontinuous. In order to study continuous waves, the problem of wave propagation is solved when unloading a pre-stretched cylinder from a nonlinear basis. The problem is solved by the method of characteristics. Results. The results are illustrated with calculations and can be used at calculations of various flexible pipes, including flexible drilling.
Sociological aspects of the transformation of agrarian structure of Serbia in 1990-2018
Authors: Šljukić S , Šljukić M
Published: May 2019

One of the constitutive elements of former socialist societies that suffered radical transformations in recent decades of ‘the transition’ is certainly the agrarian structure. The authors focus on the sociological aspects of the Serbian agrarian structure transformation from the breakdown of the socialist system to the present day. The first phase of changes (1990-2000) created an environment and prerequisites for the differentiation of peasantry that continues until the present day. The second phase (2001-2012) is characterized by the appearance of large agricultural enterprises that emerged primarily as a result of privatization. During the third phase (2013-) Serbia has been drawn into the global process of ‘land grabbing’. The authors argue that in agriculture, instead of the middle class consisting of farmers, the country got a very differentiated peasantry opposing the large enterprises; and this situation is typical for post-socialist states due to three interrelated reasons: the new social-economic order was not built on the ruins of socialism but rather from the ruins; different actors within the Serbian society pursued their particular interests in the process of changes and followed demagogical declarative instructions from external experts, especially from the West; new political elites did not strive to build ex-socialist states according to their own model but rather met the needs and carried out the plans of their governments and companies, i.e. the term ‘periferization’ should be used instead of the term ‘transition’. In the final part of the paper, the authors try to answer the question why the transitional expectations regarding agrarian structural transformation did not come true, and the institutional framework for the majority of farmers working on the medium-size lands was not created. The authors also try to predict the upcoming possible alterations within the agrarian structure of the Republic of Serbia.
Religious harmony and tolerance of the urban residents of Kazakhstan: Results of the sociological research
Authors: Shabdenova A B , Alimbekova G T
Published: May 2019

Researchers believe that in recent decades in Kazakhstan the religious situation has changed, which was manifested in an increase of the number of believers who follow religious precepts and build their lifestyle according to them. Kazakhstan is a multi-ethnic country, where representatives of different ethnic and religious groups live. It is important to study the level of tolerance and religious harmony between different social groups. The article presents the results of the sociological study of tolerance and religious views in Almaty - the most populated city of Kazakhstan - based on the method of individual standardized interview. The results of the survey show the prevalence of tolerant relations for the majority of respondents said that they had not experienced any problems or insult based on their religious views. At the same time, the refusal to accept a person of another religion or other religious views as a member of one’s family is more typical for Moslems, namely of Kazakh and Uzbek ethnicity, and also for people with a low level of education and low incomes of the household. On the one hand, there is a clear desire for religious harmony; on the other hand, there are transformations of religious practices based not so much on the phenomenon of faith but on national traditionalism. The results of the survey prove that level of religious harmony is influenced to a certain extent by social-economic conditions.
‘Small sociality’ in the world of large sociology: Reflections on the ideas of R. Collins (to the 30th anniversary of the City Sociological Workshop in the SPSU)
Authors: Deriugin P P , Lebedintseva L A
Published: May 2019

The year 2019 marks the thirtieth anniversary of the Sociology Department of the Saint-Petersburg State University. During all this period, there was the City Sociological Workshop with the meetings held several times in the academic semester to discuss the most relevant controversial issues related to both theoretical sociology (especially new approaches) and the Russian society social life. The initial idea of the Workshop was to ensure communication between scientists and researchers, and the development of intellectual activity, exchange of ideas and solidarity of sociologists of Saint Petersburg. Then the scope of discussions widened and covered a broader Russian context and even international topics. Thus, speakers of the Workshop today are from different Russian cities and other countries. Despite the changed format, the Workshop kept its name - City Sociological Workshop - as a well-known and recognizable brand for the sociological community. Today, there are several forms of its activities: methodological workshops, presentations, meetings and schools. As a small organizational form the Workshop has many advantages described by R. Collins. In particular, the analysis of the ‘network maps’ of interpersonal relationship allowed Collins to argue that the creation of ‘small groups of direct contact’ ensures a social space in which new ideas are developed and accumulated, and intellectual rituals, ‘rivalry for the space of attention’ and other basic elements of the evolution of the scientific thought are formed [1]. Despite different difficulties of thirty years under the changing social and technological realities of the information society, the City Sociological Workshop proves its necessity and importance at the beginning of the third decade of the twenty-first century.
Russian language through the prism of national culture and realities
Authors: Nikalayenko Siarhej V
Published: May 2019

The article focuses on the system of developing linguistic and cultural competence through regional realities, values, personalities, etc. in general secondary educational institutions in the Republic of Belarus. The sociocultural aspect in the coherent linguistic methodological system of teaching Russian and developing learners’ speech is considered as a substantial component of all spheres - language, speech, communication, cultural linguistic study . Cultural linguistic (or linguocultural) aspect is realized through mastering language: 1) as a system of preserving and transmissing cultural values, 2) as a means of comprehending general and nationally-specific (for the Russian and Belarusian) ideals, traditions, customs, values and norms which guide the dialogue of cultures. As an interrelated educational process, the sociocultural aspect implies that students acquire the peculiarities of social relations expressed in meanings (peacefulness, non-aggressiveness, tendency to consent and search for compromises, helping another person, denying unmotivated violence, reasonable needs, etc.). The sociocultural aspect also means developing learners’ ability to comply with the norms that determine these relations.
Specific language of Russian Internet poetry
Authors: Bartosh Julija V
Published: May 2019

The article analyses the linguistic means of modern Internet poetry having millions of readers and actively developing on the Internet. Being a kind of mass literature, the Internet poetry “complicates linguistic reality”, influencing the literary language “by virtue of its mass character” (Solganik, 2010). Therefore, the study of such “alternative” art seems relevant: it can later become the material for a new poetic theory becoming urgent nowadays. The author took as the material for the study poetic websites (“Stihi.ru”, “Izba-Chitalnya”, etc.) and thematic groups in social networks (“Rifmach”, “Filashki”, “Artichoke”, etc.). The purpose of the article is to identify the specificity of the language of the Internet poetry, analyze cases of unconventional use of language means in modern Internet poetry. Undoubtedly, not only Internet authors are looking for new forms and methods, but it is the Internet poets who consciously violate all the norms - the norms of versification, of the language, of text structure in order to reveal the potential of the language. The study revealed a lot of experiments with genres and language tools, for example in the graphic design of the text (for instance, graphic symbols in an unconventional function), in specific features of vocabulary, word formation, morphology and syntax.
The key concept as a structuring base of Russian and Belarusian linguistic worldview
Authors: Pivovar Yekaterina S
Published: May 2019

This article presents the comparative analysis of the key concepts in linguistic world views of the Belarusians and Russians. The key concepts Motherland, language, freedom are considered. To reconstruct the key concepts the author took classical Russian and Belarusian artistic texts. The work is relevant due to the novelty of the presented language material and the insufficiency of the comparative analysis of the key concepts in various linguistic cultures. The linguistic world views of closely related nations are of particular interest in this regard. The identified universal and nationally specific components in the structures of key concepts led to the conclusion that the mentalities of the Russians and Belarusians are not the same. We are planning to continue a comparative study of key concepts (family, nation, man, etc.) in order to identify similar and different features not only of particular concepts, but also of the national concept spheres of the Russians and Belarusians. The author used general linguistic methods (descriptive, comparative) and methods of cultural and cognitive linguistics (linguocultural and semantic-cognitive methods of text studies). This article is a prepared under the supervision of Doctor of Philology, Professor V.A. Maslova.
Prospects of Using Microbiota Correction Methods in the Treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Authors: Akinshina A. I. , Smirnova D. V. , Zagainova A. V. , Makarov V. V. , Yudin S. M.
Published: May 2019

Aim. The present article examines key methods of microbiota correction (antibiotic therapy; pro-, pre- and metabiotic therapy; faecal microbiota transplantation) used in treating inflammatory bowel disease, as well as compares the clinical trial results of these methods.

Key findings. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an umbrella term used to describe a group of chronic diseases of unknown aetiology. In the past, bacteriological methods based on the isolation of a pure bacterial culture were used to determine the microbiota composition. However, such methods did not provide complete information on the microbiota composition. In recent years, preference has been given to more accurate and faster molecular genetic methods allowing a more detailed study of the key mechanisms by which microbiota affects the intestine in Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), as well as of the effect of microbial metabolites on their pathogenesis. The article provides an overview of main microbiota metabolites and their role in regulating the intestinal barrier func

tion. One of the current issues consists in the development of personalised approaches to therapy and remission maintenance in IBD, including via methods for correcting the microbial composition: probiotic, prebiotic and metabiotic therapy, as well as faecal microbiota transplantation.

Conclusion. The use of probiotics, prebiotics, and metabiotics can enhance the effectiveness of therapeutic regimens and significantly improve the quality of life of patients with chronic IBD. The use of antibiotics and faecal microbiota transplantation in treating IBD is the subject of extensive discussion and debate. The safety of these methods has not been confirmed so far; therefore, it is vital to continue studying their influence on the clinical condition of patients.

Evaluation of the gamma dose rate inside Egyptian buildings, utilizing theoretical and experimental techniques
Authors: Salama Elsayed , Soliman Hala
Published: May 2019

The indoor low gamma dose rate exposures due to Egyptian room building materials are assessed by means of three different techniques: experimentally by using a thermoluminescent dosimeter, theoretically by using the general room model and by the Monte Carlo simulation through the RESRAD-BUILD software. The present study aims at validating the theoretical methods so that it can be amply used for measuring the low dose rates usually associated with the building materials. The measured in door dose rates were in the range of 55.92 ? 14.47 to 86.89 ? 16.68 nGyh?1 de pending on the position inside the room as obtained by the thermoluminescent dosimeter after 5 months' accumulation. Lower dose rates are obtained near the door and windows while higher dose rates are obtained at the center of the room, and close to the extended walls. Comparable results of the dose rates at same positions inside the room are obtained by the RESRAD-BUILD software. The room model is restricted to the room center and also gives comparable results. The three methods showed comparable results, which in turn confirm the recommendation of using theoretical ones, with RESRAD-BUILD software being more accurate.

Published: May 2019

Simultaneous indoor measurements of radon, thoron and equilibrium equivalent con centrations, by three different continuous radon monitors in real ambient conditions, were performed and compared during two weeks period. Radon concentrations varied from 153 Bqm?3 to 870 Bqm?3 with variations of thoron concentrations in the range (2.17-219) Bqm?3. Obtained arithmetic means of equilibrium equivalent radon and thoron concentrations were (130 ? 50) Bqm?3 and (23 ? 18) Bqm?3, respectively. The inter-comparison of active radon de vices was focused on consistency of results between them selves and the influence of environmental conditions on the behavior of each detector system. The obtained statistically significant correlation between the results of used monitors, validates them for application in radon diagnostic measurements as the first step in radon remediation and dose assessment.

Untuk melakukan penilaian maka ketiga proses tersebut dipetakan kedalam COBIT Process Assessment Model (PAM). Hasil penilaian tata kelola TI menyatakan bahwa Universitas Tanjungpura berada pada level kapabilitas 0. Hal ini dikarenakan dengan tidak tercapainya persyaratan Largerly atau Fully Achieved pada seluruh proses APO yang dinilai. Hasil penilaian kemudian digunakan sebagai acuan analisis Critical Success Factor, Key Goal Indicators, dan Key Performance Indicator yang dapat digunakan sebagai panduan bagi Universitas Tanjungpura untuk memperbaiki tata kelola TI khususnya pada pengelolaan manajemen dan strategi TI.

Internet sudah menjadi bagian yang tidak terpisahkan dari aktivitas manusia sehari-hari. Dengan internet segala informasi bisa didapatkan dalam waktu yang cepat, dari berbagai penjuru dunia dapat saling berkomunikasi dan bertukar informasi. Akan tetapi dengan adanya internet, keterbukaan informasi menjadi hal yang biasa, walaupun terkadang ada informasi yang masih bersifat rahasia (confidentiality). Informasi dapat berupa apa saja, tidak terkecuali informasi dan data yang berkaitan dengan institusi pendidikan, Fakultas Matematika dan Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam Universitas Tanjungpura salah satunya. Di Fakultas MIPA sendiri ada beberapa informasi-informasi informasi yang hanya boleh diakses oleh kalangan tertentu saja. Misalnya ada beberapa aplikasi yang hanya dapat dibuka di lingkungan FMIPA saja maka dibuatlah mekanisme Virtual Private Network menggunakan protokol SSTP (Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol) agar Server dan aplikasi yang ada di lingkungan FMIPA dapat diakses menggunakan internet diluar lingkungan FMIPA. Konfigurasi SSTP dapat dilakukan menggunakan perangkat router mikrotik yang dihubungkan menggunakan perantara Virtual Private Server (VPS) yang ada di internet, kemudian diintegrasikan pada router mikrotik, sehingga kedua kondisi tersebut dapat saling berinteraksi seolah-olah pengguna berada dilingkungan FMIPA Untan
