Authors: Mermerkaya Musa Uğur , Alkan Erkan , Ayvaz Mehmet
Published: March 2017

Background. The aim of this study was to evaluate the mid- to long-term outcomes of metatarsal head resurfacing hemiarthroplasty in the surgical treatment of advanced-stage hallux rigidus. Methods. We performed a retrospective review of 57 consecutive patients (25 [43.9%] males, 32 [56.1%] females; mean age, 61.0 ± 6.4 years) who underwent first metatarsal head resurfacing hemiarthroplasty (HemiCAP) for hallux rigidus between August 2007 and September 2010. Sixty-five implantations were performed in 57 patients; 8 patients underwent bilateral procedures. All patients were clinically rated prior to surgery and at the final follow-up visit using the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) hallux metatarsophalangeal-interphalangeal scale and first metatarsophalangeal joint range of motion (MTPJ ROM). Results. The median follow-up duration was 81 (range = 8-98) months. The median preoperative AOFAS score was 34 (range = 22-59) points, which had increased to 83 (range = 26-97) points at the final follow-up visit (P < .001). The median preoperative first MTPJ ROM was 25° (range = 15° to 40°), which had increased to 75° (range = 30° to 85°) at the final follow-up visit (P < .001). Conclusions. First MTPJ hemiarthroplasty is an effective treatment method that recovers toe function and first MTPJ ROM, and provides good mid- to long-term functional outcomes.

Levels of Evidence: Level IV: Retrospective case series
Street work and the perceptions of children: Perspectives from Dilla town, Southern Ethiopia
Authors: Gebretsadik Daniel
Published: March 2017

Based mainly on an in-depth and multifaceted qualitative study of 24 purposely selected street working children in Dilla town, Southern Ethiopia, this study attempts to shed light on children’s use of streets as places of work, survival, socialization, play, learning and growth. Children see street work as a source of livelihood, evidence of agency, informal schooling, sense of responsibility and sphere of socialization. The study also shows that the discourse that views street working children as ‘out of place’ and ‘outside childhood’ is concerned more with defending the values of the writers rather than defending the real interests of the children involved. Children’s responsibilities for themselves and towards their families not only force them to be found at ‘wrong places’ but it also obliges them to engage in ‘wrong careers’. Children not only want freedom and play but they also want responsibility and respect for what they do and who they are, and work can bring both.

Published: March 2017

Aims:

Using a comprehensive large prospective regional ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) system database, we evaluated the prevalence, clinical and angiographic characteristics, and outcomes in patients with ischemic symptoms and new or presumed new left bundle branch block (LBBB). We then tested a new hierarchical diagnosis and triage algorithm to identify more accurately new LBBB patients with an acute culprit lesion.

Methods and results:

From March 2003 to June 2013, 3903 consecutive STEMI patients were treated using the Minneapolis Heart Institute regional STEMI protocol including 131 patients (3.3%) with new LBBB. These patients had fewer culprit arteries (54.2% vs. 86.4%; P<0.001), were older, more commonly women, with a lower ejection fraction, and more frequently presented with cardiac arrest or heart failure than those without new LBBB. At 1 year follow-up, all-cause mortality accounting for baseline differences was higher in patients with new LBBB (hazard ratio 1.73, 95% confidence interval 1.17–2.58; P=0.007). The new algorithm yielded high sensitivity (97%) and negative predictive value (94%) for identification of a culprit lesion. Using the definition of new LBBB with either hemodynamically unstable features or Sgarbossa concordance criteria on electrocardiogram (ECG), 45% of new LBBB patients would have been treated as ‘STEMI equivalent’.

Conclusion:

Patients with acute ischemic symptoms and new LBBB represent a high-risk population with unique clinical challenges. If validated in an independent dataset, the new algorithm may improve the diagnostic accuracy regarding reperfusion therapy for new LBBB patients.
Expert Consensus on Predictive Parameters for the Occurrence of a Fall and a Contralateral Hip Fracture 1 and 3 Years After Hip Fracture: A Delphi Survey
Authors: Joeris Alexander , Hurtado-Chong Anahí , Blauth Michael , Goldhahn Joerg , Bodmer Nicolas S. , Bachmann Lucas M.
Published: March 2017

Background:

Early identification of people at risk for a contralateral hip fracture would be desirable to favorably influence patients’ prognosis. A recent systematic review failed to depict stringent patterns of risk parameters to be used for decision-making in clinical practice.

Objective:

To perform a consensus study using the Delphi method to reach an expert consensus on predictive parameters for the occurrence of a fall and a contralateral hip fracture 1 and 3 years after hip fracture.

Methods:

A list of potential members of the expert panel was identified based on the authors’ list of a recently conducted systematic review. Participating experts were asked to name parameters determining the probability for a fall and a contralateral hip fracture 1 and 3 years after an occurred hip fracture, separately. Additionally, we asked how those stated parameters should be measured. All mentioned parameters were compiled and sent back to the experts asking them to weight each single parameter by assigning a number between 1 (not important) and 10 (very important). The survey was conducted online using the REDCap software package. We defined expert agreement if the interquartile range of attributed weights for a parameter was ≤2. A relevant parameter had at least a median weight of 8.

Results:

Twelve experts from 7 countries completed the survey. Presence of fall history and mental and general health status were considered relevant irrespective of the outcome. For falling within 1 and 3 years, the number of medications and residential status were considered relevant, while for fractures within 1 and 3 years, osteoporosis management was considered important.

Conclusion:

Using the insights gained in this consensus study, empiric studies need to be set up assessing the prognostic value of the selected parameters.
Corporate Social Responsibility and Social Entrepreneurship: An Indian Context
Authors: Singh Archana , Majumdar Satyajit , Saini Gordhan K.
Published: March 2017

The present paper presents critical points of view on the existing corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices in India. It argues that due to society's awareness, people's expectations from the government and companies have significantly increased due to various reasons. At the same time, performing on all the three parameters of `triple bottom line'- financial, social and environmental became extremely crucial for the corporate sustainability. In such a changing context, traditional form of CSR seems no longer relevant. The authors emphasize the need of thinking of more innovative models of CSR, so that business benefits and social benefits can be combined in true sense. Few examples of such innovative models of integrating CSR and social entrepreneurship (SE) are discussed in the paper. The authors believe that SE can support CSR, and effectively bridge the gap between business and society.
Entrepreneurship and Well-being: Towards Developing a Novel Conceptual Framework for Entrepreneurial Sustainability in Organisations
Authors: Gopinath Neha , Mitra Jay
Published: March 2017

We explore, in conceptual terms, the relationship between well-being and entrepreneurial organisations. We pay attention to existing entrepreneurial organisations where a defined culture may have evolved over time. Interest in well-being has gained accelerated momentum in policy circles, management boards and among researchers, and studies in entrepreneurship abound celebrating innovation and the value of entrepreneurial growth. Yet, we do not appear to know much (beyond anecdotal insights) about high-impact driven entrepreneurial firms, their visionary high-octane fuelled leaders and the essential well-being of their creative employees and associates. We believe there is a difference between successful organisations and entrepreneurial organisations that achieve success, and that the well-being in these different types of organisations finds a different form of purchase in their unique environments. Moreover, not all entrepreneurial organisations are able to sustain their entrepreneurial competitive advantage. One possible reason for such instability is the well-being (or its deficit) in these organisations. We, therefore, argue that obtaining critical insights into the relationship between well-being and entrepreneurial organisations is essential. To this end, we navigate the literature on entrepreneurial firms and well-being and come up with some critical propositions for future research which could offer new insights into sustainable entrepreneurship which embraces the well-being of both the entrepreneurs and the employees who work with them.
The Emerging Properties of Business Accelerators: The Case of Botswana, Namibia and Uganda Global Business Labs
Authors: Ganamotse Gaofetoge Ntshadi , Samuelsson Mikael , Abankwah Ruth, M. , Anthony Tibaingana , Mphela Thuso
Published: March 2017

Entrepreneurship is an engine for economic development worldwide ( Kelley, Singer, & Herrington 2016 ). For developing economies, the importance of entrepreneurship is associated with increased productivity and reduction in the rising unemployment rates, particularly among the youths. Consequently, several models and support programmes have been designed to facilitate successful entrepreneurial activities amongst youth. The article discusses the business acceleration model of the Global Business Labs (GBL) which is replicated in Botswana, Namibia and Uganda based on a Swedish model, between 2012 and 2015 but failed in Mozambique and Zambia. Using a multiple case study method, this article presents the results of a cross-country case analysis of the GBL programme with a view to understand the emergence of a business accelerator. Despite replication of the programme in respect of concepts, materials and operational systems, the cases reveal variations in operational experiences and acceleration performance across the five countries. Using the emergence theory, the article highlights these differences. The major contribution of the study to theory, in determining how business accelerators come into being, includes the duality of intentions and exchange between key stakeholders and the resource burst as a triggering mechanism in developing countries. The study further informs development of a model for successful business acceleration launch and subsequent performance for developing economies.
The Influence of Big Five Personality Traits and Self-efficacy on Entrepreneurial Intention: The Role of Gender
Authors: Murugesan R. , Jayavelu R.
Published: March 2017

This study attempts to investigate the influence of the Big Five personality traits and self-efficacy (SE) on entrepreneurial intentions. It also aims to find out whether the influence of a set of personality traits and SE on entrepreneurial intention differs across gender. The target population of this study was students enrolled in Bachelor of Technology (BTech). The results offer support for the relation of openness, neuroticism, conscientiousness and agreeableness, and SE with entrepreneurial intention—except on the relation of extraversion and entrepreneurial intention. Based on the findings, the study argues that the relationship between entrepreneurial intention and Big Five personality traits is moderated, at least partially, by gender.
Trends in Public Debt in India: Lessons from Greek Crisis?
Authors: Bhattacharjee Subhomoy , Das Dakshita
Published: March 2017

There is not much new in the divide in economic literature between fiscal and monetary policy; what is new post-2008 is the emergence of the role of money supply and that of public debt to prominence as the instrument of choice for central banks and the government treasury. To a large degree, money supply and public debt now eclipsed the central role variables such as tax and interest rates had played in the setting of economic policies in countries both developed and developing. While literature is evaluating how the change in the role of these stock parameters to that of policy variables will play out, this article takes up the more mundane task of examining only one of them, which is public debt in the context of India.

We believe that there is a key reason to do so. The Indian government has not used public debt as an active policy tool, so far, even as several countries have begun to do so ( Mohanty, 2012 ). Instead, it has held on to a general desideratum of the need to reduce it; borne out of the scare of the balance of payments crisis of 1991. But 25 years after the crisis, it is important to examine if there is a conscious understanding within the government for the need to measure and deploy public debt especially as the room for active deployment of other fiscal tools, namely taxation is circumscribed.

By FY14 India’s public debt (centre and states combined), as percentage of GDP, stood at 66.7 per cent; it was 70.6 per cent in FY09. For the sake of comparison, the world’s most indebted countries include Greece, of course, with its general government net debt at 173 per cent of its GDP. Others in the top 20 include Italy, Egypt, Portugal, Spain, France, the United Kingdom, Japan and the United States of America. By current estimates, India does not rank amongst the most indebted countries of the world. But is the position, one of strength or of a passive arrival that offers little or no policy direction to the government? Moreover, this article also argues that in the absence of such direction, there has been a build-up of debt in the economy instead of a reduction. Most of that build-up has been sought to be balanced by recourse to non-tax revenue. As fresh options to tap non-tax revenue dry up, public debt could emerge as the new pressure point for the economy.
Anisotropic elastic wavefield imaging using the energy norm
Authors: Rocha Daniel , Tanushev Nicolay , Sava Paul
Published: March 2017

Based on the energy conservation principle, we derive a scalar imaging condition for anisotropic elastic wavefield migration. Compared with conventional imaging conditions that correlate displacement components or potentials from source and receiver wavefields, the proposed imaging condition does not suffer from polarity reversal, which degrades the image quality after stacking over shots. Our imaging condition also accounts for the directionality of the wavefields in space and time, leading to the attenuation of backscattering artifacts, which commonly appear in elastic reverse time migration images in the presence of strong model contrasts. In addition, our new imaging condition does not require wave-mode decomposition, which demands significant additional cost for elastic wavefields in anisotropic media. To properly image structures, we rely on the anisotropy parameters used in migration, as one would do for any other imaging condition. Our imaging condition is suitable for arbitrary anisotropy. We show the successful application of the anisotropic energy imaging condition by performing numerical experiments on simple and complex geologic models. We compare its quality with conventional counterparts by simulating complex geologic settings with vertical or tilted transverse isotropy.
Circuits of State
Authors: Hill Jonathan
Published: March 2017

This article traces the creation and transformation of the largest electrical grid in northern Mexico, from its concession during the Porfirio Díaz regime through the Mexican Revolution and into the early 1930s. Built by Canadian promoters in the last years of the Porfiriato on the Conchos River in Chihuahua, La Boquilla hydroelectric dam came into service in the middle of a battlefield in 1915. Through the 1920s, in which there was virtually no Mexican state, La Boquilla primarily powered US-owned mining interests in the region. By the end of the decade, however, authorities had incorporated this emerging energy system (now called the Boquilla-Francke grid) into two federal irrigation districts, via flows of both electricity and water. Conceptually, this article traces the relationship between material infrastructures of power and state formation in Mexico.
New Technologies of Resistance
Authors: Hatch Anthony Ryan
Published: March 2017

African Americans face ongoing technological assault in the United States most visibly at the hands of state agents. Technological transformations that have simultaneously enabled the oppression of African Americans have also shaped African American resistance movements in the United States. This essay addresses how technologies shape the conditions for the struggle between racisms and resistance against racial power. Technologies helped provide the mechanisms through which black liberation movements aimed to raise and transform people's consciousness about racism. African Americans' use of social media technologies to organize and engage in protest against racism flattens hierarchies within social movements, removes the media filters that select particular stories for promotion and circulation, and has the potential to expand movement participation.
Teaching the History of Radical Science with Materials on Science for the People (1969–1989)
Authors: Schmalzer Sigrid
Published: March 2017

The author relates her experience teaching an undergraduate seminar on the 1970s–1980s movement Science for the People (SftP). She taught the seminar in conjunction with a three-day conference that brought together students, scholars in science and technology studies, and former SftP members. The seminar required students to delve into primary sources produced by and about SftP. By analyzing these materials and comparing SftP activities with other forms of science activism, students gained an understanding of the differences between liberal and radical approaches to scientific knowledge and political engagement. The seminar thus offered unusual opportunities, easily adoptable in other courses, to explore the history of radical science—with the concepts of “history,” “radical,” and “science” all serving as subjects of critical inquiry.
The Land beneath Our Feet
Authors: Serlin David
Published: March 2017

In this interview, historian Gregg Mitman discusses the background and significance of The Land beneath Our Feet, a documentary he completed with Sarita Siegel in 2016 that explores a 1926 scientific expedition to Liberia undertaken by Harvard University's Department of Tropical Medicine and funded by the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company. Mitman reveals how Harvard's ethnographic film footage, which constitutes some of the only surviving visual media of early twentieth-century inland Liberians, raises complex questions about film's relationship to national memory and local heritage, thus challenging habitual associations between the medium of film and the practices of racial science.
Unplanned Purchases and Retail Competition
Authors: Johnson Justin P.
Published: March 2017

I propose a framework in which asymmetric multiproduct retailers compete for one-stop shoppers who have biased beliefs about their future purchase probabilities (and so make unplanned purchases). One firm carries a full portfolio of products while the other carries an incomplete but endogenous one. Using this framework, I examine the phenomenon of loss leading, the optimal product portfolio of the smaller firm, and the effects of banning loss leading. Among other results, I show that there is a nonpredatory (and possibly procompetitive) justification for the observation that such larger firms may charge below cost on the core product lines of their smaller rivals.

Using a Free Permit Rule to Forecast the Marginal Abatement Cost of Proposed Climate Policy
Authors: Meng Kyle C.
Published: March 2017

This paper develops a method for forecasting the marginal abatement cost (MAC) of climate policy using three features of the failed Waxman-Markey bill. First, the MAC is revealed by the price of traded permits. Second, the permit price is estimated using a regression discontinuity design (RDD) comparing stock returns of firms on either side of the policy's free permit cutoff rule. Third, because Waxman-Markey was never implemented, I extend the RDD approach to incorporate prediction market prices which normalize estimates by policy realization probabilities. A final bounding analysis recovers a MAC range of $5 to $19 per ton CO2e. (JEL G12, G14, Q52, Q54, Q58)
Evidence Games: Truth and Commitment
Authors: Hart Sergiu , Kremer Ilan , Perry Motty
Published: March 2017

An evidence game is a strategic disclosure game in which an informed agent who has some pieces of verifiable evidence decides which ones to disclose to an uninformed principal who chooses a reward. The agent, regardless of his information, prefers the reward to be as high as possible. We compare the setup in which the principal chooses the reward after the evidence is disclosed to the mechanism-design setup where he can commit in advance to a reward policy, and show that under natural conditions related to the evidence structure and the inherent prominence of truth, the two setups yield the same outcome.

ATP is dispensable for both miRNA- and Smaug-mediated deadenylation reactions
Authors: Niinuma Sho , Tomari Yukihide
Published: March 2017

MicroRNAs (miRNAs), as well as the RNA-binding protein Smaug, recruit the CCR4-NOT deadenylase complex for shortening of the poly(A) tail. It has been believed that ATP is required for deadenylation induced by miRNAs or Smaug, based on the fact that the deadenylation reaction is blocked by ATP depletion. However, when isolated, neither of the two deadenylases in the CCR4-NOT complex requires ATP by itself. Thus, it remains unknown why ATP is required for deadenylation by ribonucleoprotein complexes like miRNAs and Smaug. Herein we found that, in the absence of the ATP-regenerating system, ATP is rapidly consumed into AMP, a strong deadenylase inhibitor, in Drosophila cell lysate. Importantly, hydrolysis of AMP was sufficient to reactivate deadenylation by miRNAs or Smaug, suggesting that AMP accumulation, rather than ATP depletion, caused the inhibition of the deadenylation reaction. Our results indicate that ATP is dispensable for deadenylation induced by miRNAs or Smaug and emphasize caution in the use of ATP depletion methods.

Published: March 2017

The paper analyzes the formation and establishment of the labor market and conducted social and economic assessment of employment and unemployment in Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan’s economy is on the verge of a new phase, which should ensure its effective development in the context of globalization. The effective development in modern conditions of globalization and internationalization is associated, primarily, with the use of labor resources. These resources are one of the most important and difficult, because most of them do not remain unchanged. It is necessary to pay special attention to improving the following: incentives for labor and taxation; professionalism of administrative staff; country’s ability to retain talent. The proportion of working women to men has decreased in 2013 in comparison with 2012. For any country the problem of employment and unemployment was and still remains, one of the most important factors in social policy. In general, the government takes measures to support employment and reduce unemployment so that to improve the situation in the labor market. The state implemented a number of important, long-term programs.

Published: March 2017

. In drawing up the working units machines can be aggregated with a tractor according to the three schemes - mounted, semi-mounted and trailed. The mounted aggregation method, compared with a trailing one, has several advantages. Location of mounted machine behind the rear wheels of the tractor at the idling time can cause the loss of longitudinal stability and controllability. Analytical dependences were established, influencing the longitudinal stability and controllability of the tractor. Each tractor has a minimum mass of the working machine, which is provided for the aggregation power-saving mode of transportation. The total weight of mounted units, consisting of the mass of a tractor, driven machine and ballast weight must not exceed the maximum mass of the tractor, disclosed in the technical specifications. The dependence, which is determined by the maximum mass of the working machine with a tractor, was determined. Setting additional ballast weights leads to displacement of the center of mass of the tractor in the direction of movement of the machine. The evaluation of longitudinal stability, determining the controllability, is measured according to the coefficient longitudinal stability control. The coefficient of a stock of longitudinal stability is determined by a formula of professor D. A. Chudakov. The analysis of the obtained relationships and the analysis of the factors, affecting on the tractor’s longitudinal stability and controllability were carried out.

The decision model of identification of significant diagnostic characters (order parameters) is presented within using of neural network decision model for binary classification (division of a group of subjects being in two different ecological and psychic conditions). Similar problems are the basis of cognitive and heuristic activity of a human who has to identify order parameters in any process and analysis of any events. We have shown that the possibility of order parameters identification (significant хi) is low in a small number of iterations (p<100) with initial weight characters xio based on uniform distribution (xio from an interval (0,1)). If p increases (p>100, p>1000), accuracy of order parameters identification increases too. Within the frameworks of the model there is a hypothesis on the connection of reverberation in hippocampus with efficiency of a heuristic brain activity.

Published: March 2017

As the shortage of competent well-trained employees is becoming more and more acute, so is the problem of recruiting and selecting appropriate personnel

for organizations.

Meanwhile the healthy performance of HRM service, and particularly, well-considered personnel recruitment and selection procedure, helps to slow down

employee turnover, which in turn, positively influences on financial well-being and performance of an organization. Employee turnover can have several effects

on the organizational performance. Dependant on the sphere of activity and jobs of permanently changing employees, this effect can be favorable or virtually

imperceptible, but in certain cases can lead to loss of competitiveness and setback in production. Despite the urgency of the high employee turnover problem,

employee retention programs are still can be found in only few organizations.

The major guidelines for shaping recruitment and selection process are presented in the paper, accompanied by the list of the most popular and efficient

methods of hiring, based on internal and external sources. Especially emphasized are the conditions and stage-after-stage recommendations for proper personnel

selection, making it possible to hire employees, whose personal character traits qualify for the job and/or the set of activities to be implemented. The

above said proves high theoretic and practical importance of the study, carried out by the authors.

The article considers the disparities in the development of labour markets in the Volga Federal District. The method for the regions’ typology is proposed, which is based on the analysis of the employed population concentration in the sectors of economy using the index of localization, which allows presenting the labour market of the Volga Federal District as the sum of four segments: agroindustrial, industrial, mixed and service. The comparison of the obtained typology of the regional labour markets with the labour market indicators was carried out based on the analysis of unemployment level and duration, levels of employment and economic activity. According to the results of this comparison, the regions which belong to the group with industrial labour market have the best positions at the labour market. Agroindustrial regions and regions with mixed labour markets, where the share of employment in the primary sector of the economy is large enough, have the greatest level of unemployment and the lowest level of employment. Thus, if the structure of regional labour demand has a large share of agricultural labour force than all other things being equal the risk of unemployment in the region increases.
Sunk Cost Fallacy in Driving the World’s Costliest Cars
Authors: Ho Teck-Hua , Png I. P. L. , Reza Sadat
Published: March 2017

We develop a behavioral model of durable good usage with mental accounting for sunk costs. It predicts higher-than-rational usage that attenuates at a rate that increases with sunk costs. Singapore government policy varied the sunk cost of buying a new car. Using Singapore data, we estimate the elasticity of driving with respect to sunk costs to be 0.048, which implies that government policy between 2009 and 2013 was associated with 86 kilometers per month, or 5.6%, more driving. The results are robust to specifying sunk costs as relative to buyer income and estimation with Hong Kong data. We believe this to be the first field evidence of the sunk cost fallacy in usage of a major durable good.

A team approach to supporting the nutritional needs of patients living with multiple sclerosis
Authors: Bell Nicola , Brammer Lorna
Published: March 2017

Multiple sclerosis is the most common cause of non-traumatic disability in young adults, with most diagnoses occurring between the ages of 25–49 years. Nutrition must be managed effectively and holistically to improve health and quality of life.

Dysphagia management is collaborative and can enhance nutrition and hydration goals as well as reduce the risk of aspiration pneumonia. A case study demonstrates the specialist clinical skills and frameworks used to achieve nutrition, hydration, safety and patient focused outcomes.
Could lateral tilt mattresses be the answer to pressure ulcer prevention and management?
Authors: Hampton Sylvie
Published: March 2017

Pressure ulcers have been part of illness for thousands of years and are not reducing in number. Traditionally, since the Crimean War, patients have been ritually repositioned every 2 hours, regardless of the individual need. Pressure ulcers occur mainly on bony prominences, and so it makes sense to reposition into the 30 degree tilt, off of bony prominences. Nevertheless, this still takes time in order to reposition on a regular basis. It is time to look at automatic repositioning, reducing nursing time, increasing patient comfort and releasing carers to provide more social support to the patients.

Cerebrospinal fluid shunts in the maternity context
Authors: Thompson Simon D , Richens Yana
Published: March 2017

Advances in medicine mean there are more women with complex medical histories giving birth. This may include women with conditions such as hydrocephalus requiring a cerebrospinal fluid shunt. Midwives should understand the principles of care for such women and work with the multidisciplinary team to provide indiviulaised care throughout the pregnancy and intrapartum period.
Courage, commitment and resilience: Traits of student midwives who fail and retake modules
Authors: Power Alison
Published: March 2017

In the context of staff retention in maternity services in the UK, the concept of resilience has a high profile. The ever more complex demands of contemporary midwifery practice in the UK lead some midwives to make the difficult decision to leave the profession, with the top five reasons being: dissatisfaction with staffing levels; dissatisfaction with the quality of care they were able to give; excessive workload; lack of managerial support; and poor working conditions. It is estimated that around 20% of students who commence the pre-registration midwifery programme will not qualify to become a midwife; reasons for non-completion of studies include deciding it is the wrong career choice, financial difficulties and family circumstances. Academic failure, however, is not cited as a key reason for leaving the course. This article shares the stories of three students who failed and then retook a theory module during their pre-registration midwifery programme. The students show courage in their willingness to publicly discuss their experiences; commitment to their chosen profession by retaking the module; and resilience by persevering despite the additional emotional and financial demands of their situation. A fourth student offers advice for others who might find themselves in the same situation.

An unusual haemorrhagic complication of an anastomotic leak and a novel method of controlling the haemorrhage
Authors: Martin S , Armstrong A
Published: March 2017

Introduction

Restorative proctocolectomy (RP) is undertaken for patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and ulcerative colitis, but is associated with a risk of anastomotic leak.

Case history

A 20-year-old male with a family history of FAP had a RP with a double-stapled J-pouch and covering loop ileostomy. At ileostomy reversal 21 months later, he presented with significant anal bleeding. He proceeded to theatre for endoscopy. Pouchoscopy showed a pouch full of blood and a foreign object trapped in a diverticulum. The foreign object (an undigested tablet) was removed with grasping forceps and the bleeding spot identified. Hemospray® (Cook Medical, Winston-Salem, NC, USA) was deployed in the bleeding cavity to enable immediate control of haemorrhage. Recovery was uneventful and he was discharged home 72 hours later.

Conclusions

This case: (i) demonstrates a successful and novel method of controlling haemorrhage not amenable to use of conventional haemostatic mechanisms; (ii) highlights the potential problems of using prolonged-release medications in patients with gastrointestinal strictures/diverticulae.
A Avaliação no Sistema Educacional Brasileiro: Um resgate historiográfico
Authors: Santos Ronaldo Bezerra dos
Published: March 2017

Inicialmente tratar-se-á do objeto de estudo deste artigo – avaliação externa no sistema educacional brasileiro, sua importância, seus fundamentos, sua aplicabilidade, o que não impede que se trate de forma introdutória, na verdade um resumo historiográfico, do percurso da educação brasileira, com ênfase nas inúmeras reformas ao longo dos anos que se seguem desde a sua introdução no território brasileiro, a cargo dos padres jesuítas – portanto um início de cunho confessional – alcançando as duras medidas empreendidas pelo Primeiro Ministro português Marquês de Pombal, que culminaram com a expulsão daqueles sacerdotes dos domínios da Coroa portuguesa, seguindo-se um breve período da estada da família real no Brasil, observando-se as medidas engendradas por el-rei de Portugal D. João VI, de características até certo ponto descentralizadoras, adentrando no período imperial, em cujas ações dos imperadores reflete-se o pouco caso com a educação voltada para os súditos pobres do império, e finalmente desembocando na República, visualizando um pouco de cada uma de suas fases: República Velha, onde a educação sempre esteve relegada a segundo plano, e a política era o principal assunto nas rodas sociais; República ditatorial e populista de Vargas, com pouca descentralização e maior atenção ao ensino técnico-profissionalizante;  República do regime ditatorial militar, promovendo a racionalização da educação, principalmente universitária, para impedir a coesão para a subversão; e por fim uma introdução superficial na fase de redemocratização, do país, a partir de 1985, alcançando todos os ex-presidentes, com um levantamento rápido sobre suas reformas no sistema educacional brasileiro.
