Mind the gap! The Lucent Line Sign: A Pathognomonic Radiographic Finding in Periprosthetic Hip Fractures Around Cemented Polished Tapered Femoral Stems
Authors: Maggs Joanna L , Swanton Eric W , Hubble Matthew JW , Wilson Matthew J
Published: August 2021

Introduction: Diagnosing minimally displaced femoral PPFs using plain-film radiographs can be challenging. As a result, fractures can be missed.
Case Report: We present four cases of minimally displaced PPFs around cemented polished tapered stems. In each case, radiographs demonstrate no clear cortical breach, but the presence of a fracture is highlighted by a pathognomic lucent line between the cement mantle and the prosthesis: The Lucent Line Sign.
Conclusion: Paying attention to the Lucent Line Sign can be pivotal in the diagnosis of minimally displaced PPFs around cemented polished tapered stems.
Keywords: Periprosthetic fracture, hip fracture, femoral fracture, taper-slip stem, polished-tapered stem, radiographs.
A Case Report of Osteomyelitis of Lower End of Tibia and Fibula as a Complication of Elastic Rubber Band Syndrome (Dhaga Syndrome)
Authors: Baddula Anand Reddy , Yalamanchili Ranjith Kumar , Vuthpala Venu Madhav
Published: August 2021

Introduction: Rubber band syndrome is a rare acquired condition poorly discussed in literature, when neglected can lead to devastating complications of compartment syndrome and infection of soft tissue and bone as seen in the present case. Rubber band or Dhaga (sacred thread) when worn for prolonged duration can bury into the skin and soft tissue.
Case Report: A 12-month-old girl developed osteomyelitis of tibia and fibula as sequelae of misdiagnosis and treatment for this syndrome. Assuming it to be a simple constriction band, incisions were given on medial and lateral aspect of the ankle, later she developed osteomyelitis of the tibia and fibula with in buried rubber band, which was removed and thorough curettage done and achieved good healing of the bones.
Conclusion: Rubber band syndrome in not an uncommon condition, but when neglected or misdiagnosed can lead to complications such as compartment syndrome and osteomyelitis of the bones in involved limb as seen in this case. In suspected cases, imaging with sonography and X-ray of involved helps in diagnosis.
Keywords: Osteomyelitis, rubber band syndrome, Dhaga syndrome, compartment syndrome.
An Early Periprosthetic Fracture of a Cementless Oxford Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty: Risk Factors and Mitigation Strategies
Authors: Xian Li Zong , Chye Andrew Tan Hwee
Published: August 2021

Introduction: The cementless Oxford partial knee arthroplasty is associated with low perioperative complications and good long-term survival rates. However, perioperative fractures remain a serious morbidity for patients.
Case Report: This case report describes an early post-operative tibial periprosthetic fracture through the keel slot, which we believe may be contributed by the deep implant keel design and the presence of a narrow metaphysis in the Asian knee. The patient subsequently underwent a revision total knee replacement and fixation of the periprosthetic fracture.
Conclusion: This paper discusses the ways to identify patients at high risk of developing periprosthetic fractures and to minimize such occurrences, including adopting a modified tibial preparation, doing precise saw cuts, and considering a cemented tibial implant.

Posterior Ankle Arthroscopy for Flexor Hallucis Longus Entrapment: A Case Report
Authors: Chinzei Nobuaki , Kanzaki Noriyuki , Nagai Kanto , Haneda Masahiko , Yamamoto Tetsuya , Kuroda Ryosuke
Published: August 2021

Introduction: Stenosing tenosynovitis is a chronic disorder frequently observed in finger triggering of a digit. Regarding the toes, although entrapment of the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) has already been reported in a few cases among sports players, the clinical condition is uncommon. Besides, the case without any specific causes is particularly rare.
Case Report: We report the case of a 26-year-old male with FHL entrapment. Even though he was unaware of any cause, he felt tenderness on the posteromedial side of his left ankle, and his great toe was locked in the flex position. Magnetic resonance imaging indicated effusion in the tendon sheath of the FHL and the possibility of a partial tear of the FHL. We hypothesized that the scar tissue secondary to the partial tear of the FHL may have been irritated at the retrotalar pulley below the sustentaculum tali, where the FHL glides. Therefore, posterior ankle arthroscopy was performed for the treatment of the FHL entrapment.
Conclusion: Orthopedic surgeons should list this pathology as a differential diagnosis of posterior ankle pain, even in non-athletes.
Keywords: ankle arthroscopy, flexor hallucis longus, stenosing tenosynovitis.
Pigmented Villo Nodular Synovitis as an Atypical Cause of Deep Motor Branch Neuropathy
Authors: Hammarstedt Jon E. , Duethman Nicholas C. , Dennison David G.
Published: August 2021

Introduction: Compression of the ulnar nerve in Guyon’s canal results in ulnar tunnel syndrome (UTS). The patient may present with sensory and motor deficits (zone 1), motor deficit (zone 2), or sensory deficit (zone 3). The most common causes of UTS include ganglion cysts, idiopathic ulnar nerve compression, occupational pressure neuritis (repetitive compression), prolonged compression, hook of hamate fractures, and arterial thrombus or aneurysm.
Case Report: We report an atypical cause of UTS involving pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) with a review of the literature. Surgical decompression of the ulnar nerve at Guyon’s canal has resulted in resolving motor weakness and improved interosseous strength at latest follow-up.
Conclusion: The most common causes of UTS are ganglion, occupational neuritis, prolonged compression, and ulnar artery thrombi/aneurysms. However, other more rare causes such as PVNS should be considered in the appropriate patient.
Keywords: Neuropathy, ulnar nerve, ulnar tunnel.
“Acute Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty for Combined Posterior Acetabulum Fracture with Ipsilateral Associated Posteriorly Dislocated Femoral Head with Femoral Neck Fracture. Using of Femoral Head as an Autograft Would be an Advantage”
Authors: Thorat Babaji , Singh Avtar , Arshad Mohammad , Salokhe Sharad , Mavani Ravi
Published: August 2021

Introduction: Traumatic posterior hip dislocation with comminuted fracture of the ipsilateral acetabulum and femoral neck is a rare fracture pattern. These injuries are associated with high energy trauma and pose challenges during management. Controversy exists between hip preservation and replacement surgeries in middle-age patients. Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) have a high risk of non-union, avascular necrosis, and post-traumatic osteoarthritis of hip requiring total hip arthroplasty hip replacement (THA) as a secondary procedure later.
Case Report: A 56-year-old male presented with posterior hip dislocation and comminuted fracture of ipsilateral wall and column of the acetabulum, and femoral neck following a high energy trauma. He was managed by acetabular reconstruction using femoral head structural autograft combined with acute primary uncemented THA. At 2-year follow-up, the patient had good functional outcome with a satisfactory range of motion without any difficulty in weight-bearing and doing his daily activities.
Conclusion: Although uncommon, acetabular reconstruction using femoral head structural autograft and acute primary uncemented THA is a viable alternative treatment option compared to ORIF in middle-age patients with fracture of ipsilateral neck and acetabulum. This facilitates post-operative rehabilitation and avoids further operations for possible developing AVN or secondary arthritis.
Keywords: Hip dislocation, acetabulum fracture, femur neck fracture, acute total hip arthroplasty, acetabular reconstruction, femoral head structural autograft.
A Case Report of Proximal Migration of Fibular Head with Intact Peroneal Nerve in a Post-Operative Infected Tibia Gap Non-union Managed by Ilizarov Technique
Authors: Koshire Spandan R , Koshire Rajesh R , Wankhade Ajay M
Published: August 2021

Introduction: We hereby present a rare case of proximal fibular head migration associated with Ilizarov technique for infected tibia gap non-union due to follow-up failure in post-operative management during the coronavirus disease (COVID) pandemic.
Case Report: A 45-year-old male patient had undergone primary external fixation with wound debridement for a compound tibia shaft fracture Grade 3 A Gustilo class which later on with a healed external wound with a discharging sinus at the fracture site was confirmed to be infected non-union and subsequently managed by Ilizarov ring fixation over an antibiotic coated intramedullary nail and local gentamycin beads after a necrotic bone fragment of around 6 cm was excised. Post-operative protocol of compression and distraction was initiated and the patient educated regarding the same before discharge. As the world over was hit by the COVID pandemic and the lockdown limited all possible movements in our country, the patient could not follow up for monitoring the Ilizarov limb lengthening procedure. He presented to us after 4 months after the relaxation of lockdown with radiological union at the docking site but with a shortening of about 3 cm. Vigorous knee range physiotherapy failed to improve range beyond 90° which prompted us to check X-ray the knee joint and revealed the complication of proximal fibular head migration of 4 cm but with no neurodeficit and currently the patient is being managed with full weight mobilization with the help of crutch and shoe raise and an improved knee range till 100° of flexion with no pain tenderness or any other complaints.
Conclusion: Having knowledge of this possible rare complication and the need for follow-up and monitoring with the importance of patient education makes practicing orthopedic surgeons equipped to handle and anticipate such undesirable complications.

Authors: Jeyaraman Madhan , Muthu Sathish , Shyam Ashok
Published: August 2021

Introduction: COVID-19 pandemic caused by the newly emerged strain of coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has had phenomenally casted its impact on the health-care systems globally. The rampant spread of contagiosity has challenged the solidarity of the medical fraternity of the developed and developing world. The rising turmoil enforces to trudge with stoicism and expresses the need for planning because of subjugating the prevailing conditions with judicial channelization of available resources. In many developed and developing countries, the resources such as appropriate equipment as well as personnel have been extended to combat the pandemic substantially. At the same time, the populous country such as India has taken a stand to cancel electively planned orthopedic surgeries. However, under the issued guidelines of apex authorities, trauma and emergency services had have been in continuity with a reorganized manner. Hereby, we discuss the present shift in paradigm in the field of orthopedics with an interplay of regenerative orthopedics and telemedicine and its pivotal role against the odds of the COVID-19 pandemic. Besides, we see over the future perspectives and challenges in the purview of resorting to an effective clinical practice in orthopedics specialty. Albeit these guidelines expound strategies to manage trauma and orthopedic cases amidst pandemics but the subsequent post-COVID-19 phase warrants explicable vision and planning. Indeed, resuming elective orthopedics surgical intervention in post-phase of pandemic shall definitively be a task invoking fundamental planning, especially in a resource-limited background. With the rollout of vaccines in the country, the scenario is in favor of returning to normalcy with evaluation for COVID-19 being added to the list of routine medical and surgical screening profiles.

Gossypiboma and Total Hip Arthroplasty – A Rare Accidental Finding Following a Periprosthetic Infection
Authors: Pina Gabriel , Pereira David , Borralho Nuno , Sousa Manuel
Published: August 2021

Introduction: Gossypiboma or textiloma is the technical term used to describe a surgical complication related to accidental retention of surgical material within the body, most often surgical swabs. Since it is rare in orthopedic surgery, its diagnostis is less common and often initially mistaken with soft-tissue tumors. The aim of this study is to point out the importance of this differential diagnosis in the event of clinical swelling or accidental intraoperative finding associated with previous surgery.
Case Report: Female patient presenting with 3 weeks hip pain and inflammatory signs, with a past history of a total hip arthroplasty 15 years before. Analytically presented C-reactive protein CRP of 13.67 mg/dl. Ultrasound and computed tomography CT scan revealed a solid lesion in the anterior thigh root and a liquid lesion in the lateral region of the hip.
Discussion: Gossypibomas can be classified into two types: The aseptic fibrous type, which produces adhesions and a fibrotic capsule, and the exudative type, which is characterized by abscess formation. This case report refers to an aseptic fibrous type, given an asymptomatic evolution over 15 years and histopathological findings. However, this diagnosis occurred following a periprosthetic hip infection.

Single-Stage Bilateral Stemless Shoulder Hemiarthroplasty using a Subscapularis-Sparing Approach for Bilateral Dysbaric Osteonecrosis of the Humeral Head in a Diver: A Case Report
Authors: Cárdenas Gabriel , Gasbarro Gregory , Aceituno Gianella
Published: August 2021

Introduction: Dysbaric osteonecrosis (DON) is a specific type of atraumatic osteonecrosis that has been shown to occur mainly in deep-sea divers and workers exposed to increased air pressure environments. The pathophysiology is not entirely understood but is thought to be due to subclinical decompression sickness resulting in arterial gas emboli. This leads to vascular occlusion and subsequent bone death.
Case Report: An active 56-year-old male diver presented with progressive bilateral shoulder pain and dysfunction due to bilateral DON of the humeral head and associated posterosuperior rotator cuff tearing. The diagnosis was confirmed by physical examination, X-rays, and magnetic resonance imaging. Due to failure of conservative treatment, a single-stage bilateral, subscapularis-sparing, stemless shoulder hemiarthroplasty with concomitant rotator cuff repair was performed. At 24-month follow-up, the patient showed satisfactory functional outcomes in both shoulders without complication.
Conclusion: This single-stage surgical treatment is an exceptional indication for a bilateral dysbaric humeral head osteonecrosis that can be considered in selected cases because may reduce the total recovery time and can be safe and effective at 24 months postoperatively.
Keywords: Dysbaric osteonecrosis, humeral head, rotator cuff.
A Case Report of Penetrating Extremity Trauma: A Near Miss Encounter
Authors: Shaji George , Franco Aubrey Conrad
Published: August 2021

Introduction: In penetrating injuries, neurovascular structures are the main concern as they can be damaged either at the point of injury or are at risk of iatrogenic damage during exploration. Lapse in planning and a hasty attempt at retrieval in the emergency, often results in retention of a part of the foreign body. In this case report, we emphasize the need for exploration in the operating room to prevent potential complications from missed foreign body.
Case Report: A 24-year-old motorcyclist involved in a road traffic collision was received at our trauma center, with a foreign object sticking out from his lower third right arm. On clinical exam, there were no distal neurovascular deficits. A radiograph was taken and the patient was shifted to the theater. On exploration, the foreign body was removed with gentle manipulation after careful debridement, along its path of insertion. Only localized muscle injury was noted. All the surrounding neurovascular structures were intact. At 3 weeks, wound had healed with no residual symptoms.
Conclusion: Penetrating trauma is notorious for neurovascular injuries and therefore a meticulous history taking, clinical exam, and planning is vital. Exploration in the operating room is a must for complete and safe retrieval of the foreign body.
Keywords: Penetrating trauma, foreign body, surgical exploration, retrieval.

Authors: Ayuzar Eva , Rusydi Rachmawati , Muna Hayatun , Muliani Muliani
Published: August 2021

The mortality of tinfoil barb during transportation is relatively high due to the oxygen consumption rate and excretion of these fishes. Therefore, the use of an appropriate anesthetic drug becomes one of the solutions for solving this transportation problem of tinfoil barb. One of the natural anesthetic drugs with potential to be studied is Chromolaena odorata leaves. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of anesthetic compounds from Chromolaena odorata leaves in the closed transportation of tinfoil barb. The experimental design used was a non-factorial completely randomized design that consisted of four treatments and three replications,then followed by a Tukey test to see if there was a significant difference. The experimental treatments were A (0 ml/L of leaves filtrate), B (80 ml/L of leaves filtrate), C (90 ml/L of leaves filtrate), and D (100 ml/L of leaves filtrate). The observed parameters were fish behavior towards unconscious condition, onset time, immotilization time, survival rate, and water quality. The results showed that the shortest onset time was obtained from treatment D (100 ml/L leaves filtrate), namely 58 minutes towards unconscious condition, then the longest immotilization time was also shown by treatment D, which was 371 minutes. The highest survival rates were also shown by treatment D which were 94,33% during transportation and 76,33% during culture. The water quality parameters during the experiment were in an optimum condition of tinfoil barb. Keywords:AnestheticChromolaenaodorataTransportationTinfoil barb

Published: August 2021

Functional food is a food ingredient in addition to basic needs as nutrients that can also play a functional role in health. This research aimed to determine the physicochemical characteristics and fatty acid composition of catfish oil, red palm oil, and shark liver oil as functional food ingredients. The research method was to extract fish oil from belly flap, purify catfish oil, and process red palm oil (RPO) from crude palm oil (CPO). The analysis parameters consisted of sensory analysis, oil chemical characteristics (free fatty acid analysis, peroxide, iodine, saponification, and acid numbers), total carotene, tocopherol, and analysis of fatty acid composition. The results showed that the catfish oil after being purified had sensory characteristics, smelled slightly fishy and semi-solid, and had a bright yellow color. The results of the analysis of chemical characteristics showed that the free fatty acid numbers of catfish oil and shark liver oil were following IFOS standards (1.33 and 0.62%), and the RPO numbers for peroxide and free fatty acids according to the SNI standards (9.56 meq kg and 1.44%). The highest ω-3 and ω- 6 fatty acids were in shark liver oil (3.56 and 35.35%), followed by catfish oil (1.72 and 19.9%). and RPO does not contain ω-3 and ω-6. Catfish oil, RPO, and shark liver oil act as functional foods. The fatty acid composition of catfish, shark liver and red palm oil contains saturated and the fatty acid composition of catfish, shark liver and red palm oil contains saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Mono and poly unsaturated fatty acid (FUFA anf MUFA) in crude catfish oil, pure catfish oil, shark liver oil, and red palm oils were 56.71, 58.12, 63.81 and 47.39% respectively. The result of analysis showed composition of in catfish oil 1.72 and 19.9 %. The content of and of shark liver oil was 3.5 and 35.5%.  Whereas in red palm oil does not Ω 3 and Ω 6. The content of EPA and DHA in shark liver oil was 0.08, 0.09 but not in catfish and red palm oil. The total content of carotene and tocopherol in red palm oil was 513.86 and 925.80 mg/kg, respectively. The nutritional composition of catfish oil, red palm oil, and shark liver oil has the potential to be used as functional food. Keywords:Characteristic physicochemicalCaroteneTocopherolω-3ω-6

Published: August 2021

Fishing port scan support fishery resources management by incorporating social-economic activities to improve the local community's welfare; however, it can also negatively impact the environment by increasing waste pollution to the surrounding waters. Kutaraja Fishing Port, Banda Aceh, is one of the active fishing ports that conduct multiple activities, such as industrials, transportations, and domestic activities threatening the environment through the production of pollution such as heavy metals. The purpose of this study is to determine the concentration of heavy metals Zinc (Zn) and Chromium (Cr) and the sediment contamination level in the Kutaraja Fishing Port, Banda Aceh. This research was conducted in February 2021 at the water site of Samudra Kutaraja Fishing Port, Banda Aceh, and sampled sediments using the purposive sampling method. Samples were then analyzed for heavy metal concentration using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) instrument in the laboratory of the Aceh Industrial Research and Standardization Center (BARISTAND). The results showed that the concentration of heavy metal Zn ranged from 15.6507 - 27.2939 mg/kg. The majority of heavy metal Cr concentrations were below the test limit of 0.000, except at station 2, which was 9.1212. Both heavy metal concentrations are still categorized as low contamination criteria and still below the Australian and New Zealand Environment and Conservation Council (ANZECC, 2000) and the Canadian Council of Ministers for the Environment (CCME, 2002). This research proved that both heavy metals do not threaten the biota and have a low contamination level in the waters.Keywords:SedimentHeavy metal (Zn)Heavy metal (Cr)Atomic-absorptionSpectro-photometerAssessment

Kakap River Estuary plays an essential role in the life organisms, but it is vulnerable to environmental changes and pollution caused by human activities. This study aims to assess the presence of plankton species, their abundance and diversity as aquatic ecological bio-indicators in Kakap River Estuary. Plankton and water samples were taken for three months, with a frequency of one sample per month, viz. in March, April and June 2020 from four sampling stations in Kakap River Estuary, West Kalimantan. A total of 34 species of plankton were observed from all sampling sites, and identified to belong to 18 classes. Chlorophyceae had the highest relative abundance among the phytoplanktons (40.10%), followed by Bacillariophyceae (21.86%) and Cyanophyceae (19.28%). Oscillatoria sp. and Hydrodictyon sp. were the most dominant phytoplankton species. There were 8 classes of zooplankton identified from all sampling stations throughout the research period. Hexanauplia had the highest relative abundance among the zooplanktons (36.56%) followed by Euglenophyceae (24.37%). The plankton diversity index (H ′) values ranged between 2.33 -3.11. The plankton evenness index value ranged from 0.79 to 0.89 which indicates high plankton evenness at all samping stations, and this is supported by a low dominance index value at all stations ranging from 0.06-0.16. Station 1 had high Shannon-Wienner diversity index score, while for station 2, 3, 4, their scores were in the moderate level. Overall. the diversity index of the plankton from all sampling sites indicated that the quality of the water had no pollution to light pollution level.Keywords:PhytoplanktonZooplanktonWater quality
Fracking, fashion and the environmental activism of Vivienne Westwood
Authors: Moir Aidan
Published: August 2021

Vivienne Westwood frequently utilizes her iconic status to advocate for a variety of social, political and economic issues (). Since 2008, environmental politics, climate change and fracking policies have been the focus of her activism. Westwood regularly attends anti-fracking protests, such as in 2015, when she gained significant news attention for driving a tank across British Prime Minister David Cameron’s lawn. This article explores the possibilities of Westwood’s design activism within visual culture to communicate the grave environmental consequences of fracking and climate change. In addition to her political activities, Westwood has incorporated an environmental critique into her fashion collections, such as transforming her 2015 London Fashion Week performance into an anti-fracking protest. Westwood consequently draws upon her privileged status as a cultural icon to position her runway and subsequent media attention as a platform encouraging critical debate in regard to ethical fashion and environmental change.
Coming apart at the seams: How the theatrical within fashion makes space for empowerment
Authors: Montgomery Jess
Published: August 2021

Relationships between fashion and theatricality open up spaces of fantasy in which new ways of being can be imagined. In drawing upon the ways in which theatre exists in a space that is both physically real and created through imagination, the theatrics of high fashion similarly create spaces that are both physically real and imagined. Though often read as a symptom of an unnecessarily excessive system, theatricality in fashion can alternatively signal a turn towards a more ethical fashion system. Because fashion (as it relates to the production and consumption of clothing and other wearable goods) is invariably part of the problem, it provides a unique and valuable way of investigating practices of overconsumption, waste and environmental abuse. However, because high fashion functions in a space of slippages between the physically real and the imaginary, it also contains the potential to provide imaginings of possible alternative futures. Drawing upon Steven Meisel’s photography editorial for Italian Vogue, ‘Water & Oil’ (August 2010), this article investigates the ways in which fashion’s excessiveness can be reimagined as an argument for the essentialness of pleasure, and that pleasure is not synonymous with waste.
Michael Winterbottom’s The Claim (2000) as a transnational and transcultural adaptation of The Mayor of Casterbridge
Authors: Pereira Margarida Esteves
Published: August 2021

In this article, we will be focusing on issues of transnational and transcultural film adaptation using as a case study a particular screen adaptation of the novel The Mayor of Casterbridge by Thomas Hardy entitled The Claim (Michael ). The article aims to analyse the film in relation to these issues, taking into account notions of transcultural adaptation and transnational film productions, as well as mobility and migration in the context of a nineteenth-century film text. It is not only a text that relocates Hardy’s narrative into a new geographical/cultural dimension, but also it is itself a transnational production. Moreover, in the case of The Claim, there seems to be a clear understanding of processes of intercultural community construction that are particularly productive to look at. The article establishes a link between the particular transcultural perspective raised in this film and Michael Winterbottom’s oeuvre, taking also into account other adaptations of Hardy’s novels by the same director and the Western genre that underlies this film production.
The state of the British garden: Mike Bartlett’s Albion and its Chekhovian scions
Authors: Young Stuart
Published: August 2021

Mike Bartlett’s Albion (2017) is a highly sophisticated and illuminating instance of the diversity and complexity of adaptation. Although declaring no explicit relationship to informing source texts, amongst myriad intertextual allusions Albion manifests an engagement with Chekhov’s drama that abundantly affords adaptation’s pleasures. As well as deploying the principal hallmarks and strategies of Chekhovian dramaturgy, Bartlett reconfigures in Brexit Britain scenarios, characters and relationships from The Seagull and The Cherry Orchard. Moreover, demonstrating the thoroughness with which the English have appropriated and naturalized Chekhov, Bartlett implicitly challenges cardinal assumptions of that domestic tradition, through his nuanced subversion of both the ‘country-house’ and ‘state-of-the-nation’ play. Consequently, he reveals adaptation as a richly dialogic process, in which source and adapted texts shed light on each other. The politics of dramatic form(s) and of cultural adaptation and appropriation, to which Bartlett’s revision of a preeminent part of English dramatic heritage points, deftly parallel, and function as an analogue for, the conservative heritage enterprise that Albion portrays. Highlighting the longstanding association of the countryside and landscape with English cultural identity, the protagonist’s project of restoring an historic country garden to its former grandeur is laden with especial significance at this contemporary moment of national crisis.

The Administration of Hajj in Brunei under the British Residency (1906 – 1954): A Historical Perspective
Authors: Mobeen Bazilah
Published: August 2021

This article explores the historical perspective of the administration of hajj in Brunei under the British Residency from 1906 until 1954. The pilgrimage reports were initially issued by the British and the British-Indian Officers. Malaysian pilgrims were previously misclassified as Javanese due to oversimplification of the officers in charge before the 1920s. Nevertheless, Bruneian pilgrims might interrelate with the same problem as they shared the same hajj routes. Eventually in the 1920s, the pilgrimage reports were mainly handled by the Malay Pilgrimage officer who was also known as the Malayan Pilgrimage Commissioner in 1948. The Malayan Pilgrimage Commissioner was responsible in handling the pilgrims from Brunei, Federation of Malaya, Sarawak, North Borneo, and Singapore during the pilgrimage season in Mecca at the time. Even though the Malayan Pilgrimage Commissioner eliminated the misclassification of Malaysian pilgrims, Bruneian pilgrims continued to be enumerated together with pilgrims from Malaysia under the rubric of ‘Malay Pilgrims’. Primary and secondary research method are conducted for this article where various primary and secondary sources related to the administration of hajj in Brunei from 1906 until 1954 are used. This article discusses the roles and duties of the British Residents, local officers, Malayan Pilgrimage Commissioner, Medical Officers, and Sheikh Haji (Hajj Sheikh) in the hajj administration of the pilgrims from Brunei. This article further analyses British interests behind their involvements in the hajj administration.
British Naval Power and its Influence on Indonesia, 1795–1942: An Historical Analysis
Authors: Carey Peter , Reinhart Christopher
Published: August 2021

In Indonesian history, Britain has never been considered a prominent player in the politics of the archipelago. From an Indonesian perspective, the British presence only lasted a brief five years (1811–1816) during short-lived interregnum regime led by Thomas Stamford Raffles (1781-1826). This began with the British seizure of Java from the Franco-Dutch administration of Marshal Daendels (1808-11) and his successor, General Janssens (May-September 1811), and ended with the formal return of the colony to the Netherlands on 19 August 1816. However, as this article demonstrates, Britain has had a long-lasting and decisive influence on modern Indonesian history, dating from the time when the archipelago entered the vortex of global conflict between Britain and Republican France in the 1790s. The presence of the British navy in Indonesian waters throughout the century and a half which followed Britain’s involvement in the War of the First Coalition (1792-97) dictated inter alia the foundation of new cities like Bandung which grew up along Daendels’ celebrated postweg (military postroad), the development of modern Javanese cartography, and even the fate of the exiled Java War leader, Prince Diponegoro. in distant Sulawesi (1830-55). This British naval presence had pluses and minuses for the Dutch. On the one hand, it was a guarantor of Dutch security from foreign seaborne invasion. On the other, it opened the possibility for British interference in the domestic politics of Holland’s vast Asian colony. As witnessed in the 20th-century, the existence of the Dutch as colonial masters in the Indonesian Archipelago was critically dependent on the naval defence screen provided by the British. When the British lost their major battleships (Prince of Wales and Repulse) to Japanese attack off the east coast of Malaya on 10 December 1941 and Singapore fell on 15 February 1942, the fate of the Dutch East Indies was sealed. Today, the vital role played by the Royal Navy in guaranteeing the archipelago’s security up to February 1942 has been replaced by that of the Honolulu-based US Seventh Fleet but the paradoxes of such protection have continued.

This study discusses about the effect of organization climate on innovative work behaviour. The respondents ofthis study were 124 employees who work in a mining company which implement innovation. This research wasa quantitative research and used Innovative Work Behaviour Scale by Janssen (2000) and Organizational ClimateMeasurement by Patterson et al. (2005). The data analysis technique used multiple regression analysis. The resultshowed that there was an influence of organizational climate on innovative behavior in the workplace by 12.1%,R2 = .121; F(1, 122) = 16,721, p < .05.The results also showed from the three dimensions of organizational climate,only two has significant effects, they are flexibility & innovation, t(120) = 2.433, p < .05, and outward focus,t(120) = 2.113, p < .05. Dimension which not significantly affect innovation work behaviour is reflexivity, t(120)= -.143, p = .886. The implications of this study can be considered by organizations to develop a supportiveorganizational climate so that employees feel comfortable to display innovative work behaviors and at the endwill ultimately have a positive impact for the organization.

Changes from traditional face-to-face to internet-delivered psychological assessment are urgently needed giventhe long-lasting pandemic, the general need for fast and efficient tests and test procedures, and easier availabilityand access for test-takers in remote settings. We used a quasi-experimental non-randomized group design for thecomparison of two word fluency test procedures: one traditional that is face-to-face (n = 30) and one supervisedvia internet (n = 30). Participants were 17-31 years, education level high school and Bachelor. The letters S, K, Twere used for the phonemic fluency test, for the emotion word fluency test subjects had to generate words relatedto subjective emotional feelings or the expression of emotions. The results showed that traditional administeredand internet-delivered testing are equivalent (our hypothesis) as seen from the absence of significant differencesbetween the two groups in the performances of all four word fluency tests (p > .05) and small effect sizes (Cohen’sd range < .5). Significant correlations were found between the fluency tasks, irrespective of the way of testadministration (p < .05). It can be concluded that the word fluency tasks can be assessed by supervised internet-delivered testing, but this is limited to a sample of young adults.

Acts of terrorism carried out by terrorists have an impact on the families of the terrorists, especially if their familiesremain stay in their environment. The families of the terrorists experience many changes following the terrorismcommitted by their family member(s) and even putting the families in a crisis. This research aims to obtain adescription of family resilience in the families of terrorists following a terrorism. This research uses a qualitativeapproach with a case study method. The data collection techniques used were direct observation and interviewwith the family (both parents of the terrorist/perpetrators). Data triangulation was done with the significant others(cousins of the terrorist/perpetrator and local public figures). The research subjects were a particular familyconsisting of a father, a mother, and a child (the child was the perpetrator of a terrorism). The results showed thatthe resilience aspects of the belief system in the family of the terrorist can interpret all events well, organizationalpatterns that can adapt to situations but with a less open communication to one another. The family of the terroristhave gone through the process of becoming resilient and have used the strength and resources available to thefamily to increase resilience in the family, especially with respect to the social stigma of society given to thefamily following the terrorism.

Secondary traumatic stress symptoms are marked by the emergence of traumatic memories experienced by otherpeople, rejection of the stimulus that triggers traumatic memories, and emotional turmoil. If left untreated, it maylower the quality of service and health of social workers. To lower secondary traumatic stress symptoms, it isnecessary to deliver psychological treatment that can be easily and independently done, is effective and cost-efficient, and universal. As such, Therapeutic Tremor Exercises through Self-Induction are consideredappropriate to respond to this need. This study aims to identify the effect of self-induced unclassified therapeutictremor exercises on reducing secondary traumatic stress levels. This study hypothesizes that there will bedifferences in secondary traumatic stress levels among social workers before and after samples are given self-induced therapeutic tremor exercises. Subjects consisted of female social workers (n = 5) who were indirectlyexposed to traumatic stories of victims for at least 2 hours a week. The study used a single-group pre-post designby comparing secondary trauma stress levels before and after the intervention. The intervention was a one-dayjoint training and 14-day independent training. Wilcoxon’s signed-rank test showed significant differences withZ = -2.023, p = .043, whereby secondary trauma stress levels prior to the intervention (M = 45.4) was higher thanafter the intervention (M = 26.2).

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the possible food security crops which provide high yield and quality product in short period of time. Due to the lack of clearly known best varieties of it, its adoption to farmers is very less. The present study was conducted to assess the type of potato farmers prefer, adoption of released potato varieties and its management practices in west and Kellem Wollega Zones, Ethiopia. Survey was carried out in Ayira, Yubdo, Hawa Gelan, Dale Wabara and Dale Sadi woreda where four kebeles were purposively selected based on the potato farming potential. Open and close ended interview questions were generated for 384 selected representative farmers. Data was analyzed by SPSS software. The result showed that, 97.6% of the farmers have willing to farm potato. 47.3% and 22.7% of them experienced to farm local potato (land race) and released potato varieties, respectively. Farmers use landrace potato due to less awareness to released potato and accessibility of local potato. 70.1% of farmers responded there is no adoption of released potato in the area. Factors hindering potato farming in the study area are potato disease and lack of released potato. The least method used by farmers is use of resistant potato. Generally, there is scarcity of released potato seeds indicating that there is no its adoption in the study site. This problem is enforcing farmers to use local potato varieties which may not resist above stated hindering factors and make farmers to face food insecurity problems and economic reduction. Therefore, improving locally existing potato or attracting the improved potato varieties from elsewhere to the zones may be a solution of its adoption.
Unreliable Accounts: How Regulators Fabricate Conceptual Narratives to Diffuse Criticism
Authors: Ramanna Karthik
Published: August 2021

In 2010, the U.S. accounting rulemaker (FASB) updated its longstanding constitution to eliminate “reliability” as a fundamental accounting property. FASB argued that “reliability” was misunderstood in practice and that this amendment clarified its original intent. Drawing on primary archival resources and field interviews with regulators, I provide evidence that the change also sought to legitimize the rise of fair-value accounting. By eliminating the need for accounting to be “reliable,” the change attempted to neutralize concerns about the subjectivity in fair-value estimates. Such subjectivity can facilitate accounting manipulation, and some fair-value rules can be attributed to lobbying by managers who stand to benefit. The change illustrates “conceptual veiling,” wherein regulators, seeking to diffuse criticism, including suspicions of capture, manufacture costly conceptual narratives for justifying their actions.
Cheap Talk with Multiple Experts and Uncertain Biases
Authors: Karakoç Gülen
Published: August 2021

A decision maker solicits information from two partially informed experts and then makes a choice under uncertainty. The experts can be either moderately or extremely biased relative to the decision maker, which is their private information. I investigate the incentives of the experts to share their private information with the decision maker and analyze the resulting effects on information transmission. I show that it may be optimal to consult a single expert rather than two experts if the decision maker is sufficiently concerned about taking advice from extremely biased experts. In contrast to what may be expected, this result suggests that getting a second opinion may not always be helpful for decision making.

Vitally essential red fluids like packed cells and red wine are seriously influenced in quality when stored over prolonged periods. In the case of red cell concentrates, the resultingstorage lesionhas particular significance in perioperative medicine. We hypothesized that, in contrast, aging rather improves the properties ofred winein several ways. A translational approach, including (I)in vitroexperiments, (II) a randomized, blinded crossover trial of acute clinical effects, and (III) a standardized red wine blind tasting was used. Three monovarietal wines (Cabernet Sauvignon, Chianti, Shiraz) in three different vintages (range 2004–2016), each 5 years different, were assessed. Assessments were performed at a German university hospital (I, II) and on a garden terrace during a mild summer evening (III). Young wines induced cell stress and damage while significantly reducing cytoprotective proteins in HepG2 hepatoma cells. Sympathetic activity and multitasking skills were altered depending on wines’ ages. Hangovers tended to be aggravated by young red wine. Aged variants performed better in terms of aroma and overall quality but worse in optical appearance. We found no evidence for ared wine storage lesion. However, we plead for consensus-based guidelines for proper storage, as it is common in clinical medicine.
