Published: May 2023

Introduction:

Varus after antegrade medullary nailing of the proximal femur is associated with worse outcomes. Anecdotally, a more medialized “trochiformis” entry is beneficial to avoid varus with valgus-bend (greater trochanteric entry) femoral nails. However, the optimal entry point remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to define the optimal entry point for reconstruction nailing.

Methods:

Using standing alignment radiographs from 51 patients, we templated the ideal entry point for straight and valgus-bend nails from three major manufacturers using TraumaCad software. We measured the distance from the tip of the trochanter to the ideal entry site for each nail. We compared piriformis (PF) with trochanteric (GT) entry for each company and across manufacturers.

Results:

The mean greater trochanter offset from the femoral axis was 15.2 mm. The mean PF entry was 5.9 to 6.7 mm medial to the mean GT entry for each company's nail and was statistically distinct. No differences were observed in GT and PF entry points across manufacturers. Only 2 of 153 ideal GT entry points were lateral to the tip of the trochanter. An increased neck-shaft angle (NSA) and increased GT offset were correlated with a more medial ideal entry point.

Discussion:

The ideal entry point for GT nails is similar across manufacturers and is medial to the tip of the greater trochanter; however, PF and GT entry sites remain distinct. During preoperative planning and when executing femoral nailing intraoperatively, it may also be important to consider the NSA and GT offset of a patient before committing to a certain entry point.
Racial Disparities in Short-Stay and Outpatient Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty: 13-year Trend in Utilization Rates and Perioperative Morbidity Using a National Database
Authors: Barry Kawsu , Mekkawy Kevin L. , Nayar Suresh K. , Oni Julius K.
Published: May 2023

Background:

The objective of this study was to assess racial and ethnic disparities in short-stay (< 2-midnight length of stay) and outpatient (same-day discharge) total joint arthroplasties (TJAs). We aimed to determine (1) whether there are differences in postoperative outcomes between short-stay Black, Hispanic, and White patients and (2) the trend in utilization rates of short-stay and outpatient TJA across these racial groups.

Methods:

This was a retrospective cohort study of the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP). Short-stay TJAs done between 2008 and 2020 were identified. Patient demographics, comorbidities, and 30-day postoperative outcomes were assessed. Multivariate regression analysis was used to assess differences between racial groups in minor and major complication rates, as well as readmission and revision surgery rates.

Results:

Of a total of 191,315 patients, 88% were White, 8.3% were Black, and 3.9% were Hispanic. Minority patients were younger and had greater comorbidity burden when compared with Whites. Black patients had greater rates of transfusions and wound dehiscence when compared with White and Hispanic patients (P < 0.001, P = 0.019, respectively). Black patients had lower adjusted odds of minor complications (odds ratio [OR], 0.87; confidence interval [CI], 0.78 to 0.98), and minorities had lower revision surgery rates in comparison with Whites (OR, 0.70; CI, 0.53 to 0.92, and OR, 0.84; CI, 0.71 to 0.99, respectively). The utilization rate for short-stay TJA was most pronounced for Whites.

Conclusion:

There continues to persist marked racial disparities in demographic characteristics and comorbidity burden in minority patients undergoing short-stay and outpatient TJA procedures. As outpatient-based TJA becomes more routine, opportunities to address these racial disparities will become increasingly more important to optimize social determinants of health.

Authors: Mukaromah Ning , Azzamzuri Akhmad Saifulloh
Published: May 2023

A teacher who is still primarily focused on themselves is to blame for the less effective learning process. Problems arise as a result of this, according to numerous perspectives of educators. Some of the outcomes cause students to take a passive role in their education. This study is one step in a larger investigation on how best to apply learning theories, techniques, and strategies. This study employs a descriptive quantitative methodology using procedures for gathering data from surveys and interviews. Online surveying was done using a Google form. The study's findings regarding the application of the jigsaw-type cooperative learning role model in Islamic Education Philosophy courses revealed that students believed it was very interesting and not boring, and that it could assist students in finding solutions to issues during lectures. A discussion-based learning environment was also mentioned by students, who felt that their relationship with the professor was less personal as a result of their reluctance to voice their thoughts. And some other students are courageous enough to voice their opinions. Some students, among others, completed the assignment with complete accountability.

Мониторы вибрирующих струн используются для измерения поперечных профилей пучков различной природы. Для увеличения точности сканирования, а в определенных случаях для устранения сканирования (измерение профиля с помощью матрицы струн), предложено использовать несколько вибрирующих струн. Такой монитор с двумя разнесенными на расстояние вибрирующими струнами составил измерительную часть лабораторного стенда, разработанного нами для обучения студентов ускорительной технике. Обсуждаются особенности такого двухструнного монитора, в частности проблемы перерассеяния мощности лазерного излучения между струнами.
Vibrating wire monitors are used to measure transverse profiles of beams of different nature. To increase the accuracy of scanning, and in certain cases to eliminate scanning (measuring the profile with a wire matrix), it was proposed to use several vibrating wires. Such a monitor with two spaced apart vibrating wires made up the measuring part of the laboratory stand that we developed for educating students in acceleration techniques. In this paper we discuss the features of such a double-wire monitor, in particular, the problems of laser radiation power redistribution between the wires.

Measuring Switching Costs in the Italian Residential Electricity Market
Authors: Magnani Marco , Manenti Fabio M. , Valbonesi Paola
Published: May 2023

Residential electricity markets in European countries are still characterized by low consumer engagement, especially where regulated and liberalized markets coex- ist. Using an original dataset on 2015–2018 prices for the Italian electricity mar- ket, augmented with the number of residential consumers, we study the presence and magnitude of switching costs—i.e., time-based and cognitive-based costs on consumers changing providers—in the liberalized market. We find that switch- ing from the incumbent involves high costs—almost as high as the yearly energy expenditure—while switching from competitors is less expensive. We also carry out two counterfactual analyses. In the first, we show that consumers would have incurred lower average switching costs over the years had the market been less concentrated. In the second, we simulate how switching costs could evolve once regulated prices are phased out, and the market is fully liberalized.

Timanian Fold-and-Thrust Belt and Caledonian Overprint in the Selis Ridge Imaged by New 3D Seismic Attributes and Spectral Decomposition
Authors:   University of Oslo, Koehl Jean-Baptiste , Polonio Israel , Rojo Luis
Published: May 2023

The present study is a detailed structural analysis of 3D seismic data in the Selis Ridge in the western Loppa High in the Norwegian Barents Sea, to which new seismic attributes and spectral decomposition were applied. The analysis reveals that pre-Devonian basement rocks are crosscut by a 40–50 kilometers wide, several kilometers thick, E–W- to WNW–ESE-striking fold-and-thrust belt, including a steep, kilometer-thick, top-SSW shear zone. The folds display dome- and trough-shaped geometries, the thrusts appear to have been reactivated dominantly as top-west structures, and the main shear zone warps over the top of the Selis Ridge. The fold-and-thrust belt is interpreted as part of the latest Neoproterozoic (ca. 650–550 Ma) Timanian Orogeny, which potentially reworked preexisting Neoproterozoic rift basins and highs, and was reworked during E–W Caledonian contraction in the Ordovician–Silurian. The results are analogous to recent findings in the northern Norwegian Barents Sea and Svalbard. The presented interpretation provides the basis for discussing Neoproterozoic–Paleozoic plate tectonics reconstructions, the influence of Precambrian–early Paleozoic structures on post-Caledonian fault complexes, the location of the Timanian and Caledonian suture zones, Neoproterozoic rifting, and the origin of the Seiland Igneous Province.

Published: May 2023

Development in the economic field is the main driver of development, micro-enterprises play an important role in development and economic growth, this happens not only in developing countries but also in developed countries. The formulation of the problem in this study is: 1. How is the implementation of credit restructuring for MSME debtors at Bank BRI Gianyar Unit Office?, 2. What are the legal consequences for MSME debtors if the restructuring efforts are not successful? The research method used is a type of normative legal research. The most important part of developing micro-enterprises is business loans obtained from credit obtained from a bank. In an agreement, the debtor sometimes defaults. The problem in this study is the occurrence of default on credit agreements. Default or non-fulfillment of the agreement can occur either intentionally or unintentionally. Parties who commit defaults can occur because they are indeed unable to fulfill these achievements or are also forced to carry out these achievements.
The Ambiguity Application of Business Judgment Rule Doctrine As Director Immunity Right in the Company Law (Analysis of Supreme Court Verdict No 121k/Pid.Sus/2020)
Authors: Alum Simbolon  , Calvin Pramarta
Published: May 2023

Director is personally liable for the company's losses if proven guilty or negligent in carrying out his duties and may be personally sued by the shareholder as a result of his negligence or mistake in carrying out the management of the company which causes the company to suffer losses. This surely emits fear for Directors and hinders them in making important decisions for the Company. Essentially in carrying out their duties, Directors are always faced with uncertain so that fear of threats to the director’s personal liability is one of the factors that reduces performance. This research uses normative-empiric research by analyzing the written law from such various aspects as theory, history, philosophy, comparison, structure and composition, scope and material, consistency, general explanation, and article by article, formality, and binding power of law, and mainly BJR norm application in the Supreme Court Verdict Number 121K/PID.SUS/2020
The results of this research shows that Judges in the Supreme Court Decision Number 121K/PID.SUS/2020 didn’t consider the criteria for "readiness of information" and "the criteria for taking action to prevent continued losses" which are the essential criterias of the business judgment rule but only considered PT Pertamina has an asset impairment, PT Pertamina Hulu Energi is a subsidiary of a state-owned Enterprise, the Defendant (incasu Karen Agustiawan) has obtained permission from the Board of Commissioners, and the business decision doesn’t contain elements of fraud, conflict of interest, unlawful acts and intentional errors, however these considerations create ambiguity and potential new legal disputes. because the actions of the Defendant (incasu Karen Agustiawan) have fulfilled all elements of the business judgment rule in Article 97 paragraph (5) of the Company Law, although the legal considerations of the Panel of Judges are incomplete, the business judgment rule can still be applied in the Supreme Court Verdict Number 121K/PID.SUS/2020.

Assessing the agreement in retraction indexing across 4 multidisciplinary sources: Crossref, Retraction Watch, Scopus, and Web of Science
Authors: Schneider Jodi , Lee Jou , Zheng Heng , Salami Malik Oyewale
Published: May 2023

Previous research has posited a correlation between poor indexing and inadvertent post-retraction citation. However, to date, there has been limited systematic study of retraction indexing quality: we are aware of one database-wide comparison of PubMed and Web of Science, and multiple smaller studies highlighting indexing problems for items with the same reason for retraction or same field of study. To assess the agreement between multidisciplinary retraction indexes, we create a union list of 49,924 publications with DOIs from the retraction indices of at least one of Crossref, Retraction Watch, Scopus, and Web of Science. Only 1593 (3%) are deemed retracted by the intersection of all four sources. For 14,743 publications (almost 30%), there is disagreement: at least one source deems them retracted while another lacks retraction indexing. Of the items deemed retracted by at least one source, retraction indexing was lacking for 32% covered in Scopus, 7% covered in Crossref, and 4% covered in Web of Science. We manually examined 201 items from the union list and found that 115/201 (57.21%) DOIs were retracted publications while 59 (29.35%) were retraction notices. In future work we plan to use a validated version of this union list to assess the retraction indexing of subject-specific sources.
International mobility and career progression of European academics
Authors: Iversen Eric James , Woolley Richard
Published: May 2023

The international mobility of academic researchers is a topic of sustained scholarly and policy interest. International mobility has come to be seen as something of a ‘rite of passage’ for early career researchers. Many early career grants require international visits of significant duration. In many national science systems, access to tenured positions and/or mid-career support grants requires or values previous international experience. International mobility can thus be understood as an important contributing factor in the transition to independence in academic careers. This paper uses data from surveys of the mobility of European university researchers to consider the role of international scientific mobility (job changes and long stays) in the transition to career independence. Results suggest that whilst overall mobility appears to have a positive effect on competence acquisition and career progress, this finding varies according to epistemic (disciplinary) and institutional (national system) factors, and gender.

Published: May 2023

The “science-society connect” deals with “transferring the benefits of scientific work to meet existing and emerging societal needs”. In other words, it talks about taking the science to the society so that the society can benefit from scientific research and scientific temper can be inculcated in citizens. The “science-science connect” refers to “sharing of ideas and resources within the knowledge ecosystem”. Though traditionally, science communication happened using journals and conferences but with the penetration of social media, it has grown beyond these boundaries. Therefore, the use of social media for diffusion of scholarly communication into the society has drawn interest across the world. This work presents an exploratory analysis of effectiveness of Twitter as a medium for diffusion of scholarly communication beyond science-science networks.
Impact Factor polarization during the COVID-19 pandemic

Published: May 2023

The COVID-19-related research field has emerged with a number of papers and citations in a very short time period. Journals published COVID-19-related works have increased their impact factor (IF), which reflects the attention on COVID-19. With publications of COVID-19-related works in Web of Science, we found that COVID-19-related papers increased IF of journals but more benefits were given to the high IF journals. Highly cited COVID-19-related papers were distributed in high IF journals. This increases the inequality of IF in research category. In conclusion, our findings imply that IF is vulnerable to external events, therefore it supports to warn the use of quantitative indicators in assessment.

Authors: Juk Yohanna , Salles-Filho Sergio , E F Pinto Karen , Spatti Ana Carolina , Coggo Cristofoletti Evandro , Araujo Tetzner Gabriela , Campgnolli Emily
Published: May 2023

Recent events have reinforced the need to implement responsible research assessments to address different inequalities in science (e. g. gender, race, language). Funding agencies have a central role in mitigating or perpetuating inequities and can influence societal priorities and policies. Considering this background, we investigated how six FAs worldwide are addressing EDI in their funding activities. The following aspects were considered: if more types of diversities are being addressed besides gender approaches; if FAs hold specific departments to address EDI issues; if internal guidelines to eliminate EDI-related bias in peer review processes, grants, and projects evaluations we implemented; if FA conducts a systematic evaluation of diversity data; and finally, if FAs makes diversity data available. Our findings indicate that FAs are considering EDI in their activities and advancing in a more intersectional approach to addressing it.

Published: May 2023

The conversion of areas of agricultural crops to eucalyptus plantations is considered effective for the global supply of wood, protecting natural forests and for increasing the fixation and global storage of carbon (C) in the soil, contributing to the mitigation of climate change. In this sense, the impact of the conversion of sugarcane to eucalyptus in the carbon stock in an argisol (acrisols) and a oxisol (ferralsols) from the Zona da Mata of Pernambuco, Brazil, was evaluated. One area of forest, two areas of eucalyptus, with seven years of planting and two areas of sugarcane, with 15 and 17 years of planting, were selected. The granulometric analysis of the soil was performed and determination of the carbon stock was performed through the values of density (Ds) and soil total organic carbon (TOC). The sand content was higher than clay, in the three uses and in the two soil classes. Lower Ds was observed in eucalyptus soil in both soil classes. In the acrisols, the highest concentrations of TOC and carbon stocks were in the eucalyptus soil when compared to sugarcane. However, in the ferralsols, the concentrations of TOC and carbon stock were higher in sugarcane. It is concluded that the planting of eucalyptus has the potential to store carbon, but this will depend on the soil conditions of the area in which the eucalyptus is inserted.

Published: May 2023

The Sítio Rangedor State Park is an important conservation unit in an urban area with remnants of Amazon Forest in different stages of succession. The Park presents a characteristic bryophyte flora and can be useful to evaluate the local environmental quality. The objective of this study was to survey the diversity, distribution and ecological aspects of bryophytes in this Conservation Unit. The specimens were collected on different substrates throughout the area during the rainy and the dry season. Sixteen species of bryophytes were recorded, 15 moss species and one liverwort species. Most taxa are widely distributed and well represented in all phytogeographic domains; only Garckea flexuosa (Griff.) Margad. & Nork. presented a rare distribution.  Microcalpe subsimplex (Hedw.) W.R. Buck and Weisiopsis bahiensis (Müll. Hal.) Broth. are endemic to Brazil, and the latter is a new record for Maranhão. There was a predominance of life forms with high (tuft) and intermediate (mat and weft) tolerance to desiccation, as well as generalist species as to tolerance to light incidence. Information on global and national geographic distribution, functional groups and endemism is provided. The most abundant species was Hiophyla involuta. (Hook.) A. Jaeger. Acrocarpous growth predominated among mosses. Calymperes palisotii Schwägr. presented investment in resistant propagules, reflecting the highly seasonal climate of the region. The data provide a basis for future investigations and reinforce the need for greater efforts aimed at environmental education activities in the area. Further, the registration of rare and endemic reinforces the importance of the conservation of this area.

Awarded the “Best Picture” at the 94th Oscars, CODA portrays two kinds of marginalized people: the hearing-impaired people and their hearing descendants. The hearing-impaired people are often the marginalized people who are “otherized” by the hearing people, also their binary opposites; while the descendants of the hearing-impaired people are also marginalized into a third space, since they cannot integrate into either side of the binary opposites. Combining the classic images of the two kinds of marginalized people in other films and works, and explaining the roles of the two kinds of marginalized people in the film with the theories of dualistic opposition and the "thirdspace", we can better learn the survival plight of the two kinds of marginalized people, listen to their voices, and understand their tendencies of resistance and integration in face of the mainstream society and culture.

The "Double-edged Sword" Effect of Service-oriented Leadership on Employee Role Pressure
Authors: Zhang Yuting
Published: May 2023

service-oriented leadership is a key issue in the study of many leadership styles, but previous studies mainly focused on its positive impact on employees, teams and organizations, while ignoring its negative impact to a large extent. In order to solve this problem, this study mainly discusses the influence of service-oriented leadership on role stress, its influence on role stress through two intermediary variables of organizational support and perceived obligation, as well as the regulatory role of leadership trust. This study takes 202 employees as the subjects of the questionnaire, and the results show that there is no significant influence between service-oriented leadership and role stress. The reason is that the negative intermediary effect of organizational support between service-oriented leadership and role stress is offset by the positive intermediary role of perceived obligation between service-oriented leadership and role stress. Leadership trust negatively regulates the relationship between service-oriented leadership and role stress, but does not significantly regulate the relationship between service-oriented leadership and organizational support and perceived obligations. This study expands the research on the negative benefits of service-oriented leadership and enlightens managers on how to reduce the role pressure of employees.

As consumers are increasingly presented with a plethora of products to choose from, product stories have emerged as a vital marketing tool for capturing their attention and encouraging purchasing decisions. Drawing upon consumer perception theory, narrative transportation theory, and involvement theory, this study examines the impact of three narrative types of product stories - authenticity, conciseness, and humor - on consumers' purchase intentions, while considering the moderating roles of product involvement and purchase decision involvement. Based on the findings of this study, we provide recommendations for corporate marketers to enhance their marketing strategies.

Change is critical for any organization in this day and age. New technologies, external/internal business environments, crises, and health pandemics can occur at any time. Running a business has become difficult. Employee involvement has been studied by researchers in recent decades and identified as a key outcome for achieving organizational change. Employee involvement was defined by the researchers in three ways. Employee participation is the process by which employees actively participate in decision-making and problem-solving on a daily basis. Empowerment primarily refers to the autonomy and delegation of power to make the right decisions about their work, resulting in employee responsibility and, ultimately, their outcome. Teamwork is defined as two or more people working together to achieve a goal. Because of the uncertainty that can bring about change, teamwork is known to have significant value. Organizational Change refers to an organization's ability to change its business structures, strategies, and habits. These variables may thus have a negative or positive impact on the success of change. To address this research, data was collected from telecommunications companies using a questionnaire, and Smart PLS and structural equation modeling were used to analyze the data. This paper includes conclusions, limitations, and recommendations for future research.

In this paper, a rhodamine B-salicylic acid based binary compound probe RB-SA was designed and synthesized, and its structure was characterized by 1HNMR and 13CNMR. The probe provides a colorimetric/fluorescent dual-channel response to Fe3+ in the aqueous phase. Under the induction of Fe3+, the spirolactam ring of the probe RB-SA changed from closed loop to open loop, and a new absorption peak appeared at 560 nm and the solution color changed from colorless to red, while the fluorescence signal turned on, and the fluorescence intensity at 587 nm increased linearly with the addition of Fe3+. It was shown that the probe RB-SA exhibited high sensitivity to Fe3+, with a minimum detection limit (LOD) of 5.19 nM and a complexation constant of 1.03 × 104 M-1 based on fluorescence spectroscopy titration data.

Published: May 2023

Light, which helps us to see better in the dark, exists in many forms. However, on the one hand it does have benefits for us in our daily life and on the other hand the use of unrestricted artificial light can cause some damage to our body and wildlife life. In this paper, we try to develop a model that can move from qualitative to quantitative assessment. 13 typical and common causes of light pollution are selected for further study by AHP-Fuzzy Integrated Evaluation. We divided the 13 causes into 3 types, including human activities, natural environment and ecological factors, and used hierarchical analysis to give the weight of each indicator and construct a judgment matrix M-C to finally obtain the final weight of each factor. After this, we built an evaluation set containing five levels. Using the weight scores for fuzzy evaluation, according to the maximum subordination principle, we obtained an overall evaluation result: M=C*η×100.
