ABSTRACT Introduction During open surgical dislocated hip reduction, several anatomical structures, such as the round ligament, are approached. However, there is controversy over both the possibility of preserving the ligament and its functional importance. Materials and Methods This experimental study used skeletally immature rabbits as a model for congenital hip dislocation. Thirty-six rabbits comprised the sample that was submitted to the round ligament analysis. The sample was stratified for analysis (biomechanics, zymography, histology, and immunohistochemistry). Statistical analysis compared the unstable side to the control side of each rabbit. Results Biomechanical assays showed that the mean maximal strength of the round ligament on the unstable side was similar to that of the control side (p = 0.594), which was also the case with maximum deformation (p = 0.328). Histologically, there was a statistically significant increase in cellularity on the unstable side (p <0.001). Additionally, there was significantly greater collagen occupancy on the control side (p <0.001). Zymography revealed no significant difference in the amount of active metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) (p = 0.068). Conclusions Although histological analysis found evidence of significant changes in the RL in unstable hips, there were no significant differences in zymography, and no changes were observed in biomechanical tests.

Published: January 2022

ABSTRACT Introduction Humerus shaft fractures may be treated conservatively or surgically. In 2.5% to 13% of cases, nonunion is observed, and it leads to severe pain and morbidity. Plate osteosynthesis has become popular in the treatment of nonunion of the humeral shaft. In this study, we compared the clinical outcomes of patients with humerus shaft nonunion whom we treated with single- or double-plate fixation. Materials and Methods Fifty-three patients diagnosed with aseptic humeral shaft nonunion and treated with plate fixation were included in the study. Patients were evaluated according to the number of plates (single vs. double plates). The two groups were subjected to statistical evaluation according to their clinical and radiographical results. Results The average age of the patients was 53 years (range: 1-86); 28 (52.8%) were female and 25 (47.2%) were male. The union rate was 90.32% for single plate and 90.91% for double plate fixation. There was no statistically significant difference between single and double plates in the clinical and radiographical results (union time, union rate, Q-DASH score) (p > 0.05). There was a significant correlation between age and union times / Q-DASH scores according to the Spearman correlation test (p < 0.05). Transient radial nerve neuropraxia developed in 2 patients and 1 patient suffered from an infection that was treated with debridement and antibiotic therapy. Conclusion In our study, similar good results were obtained with single and double plates. In treatment of humeral shaft nonunions, a second plate is not needed if enough stability is provided with single plate fixation. Level of evidence III, Retrospective comparative study.

Published: January 2022

ABSTRACT The relationship between viral infection in pregnancy and congenital anomalies is reported in the medical literature. The risks for the SARS-CoV-2 virus interfering with implantation, growth, and fetal development are not yet known. Many drugs with potential teratogenic risk are being used for treatment. The studies with the vaccine excluded pregnant women from clinical trials, currently preventing high-quality evidence. We present a review of the most common anomalies in the upper extremities caused by congenital viral infection and the risks of anti-COVID-19 therapy and vaccine during pregnancy. We aim to alert orthopedic and hand surgeons to the possibility of these conditions in the future. Level of evidence V; Narrative review.

"Walking with a Smile but Her Shoulders are Hanging Down" Exploring "Coloured" Women's Occupational Resistance in the Face of Personal, Historied and Societal Suffocation
Authors: Christopher Chantal , Joubert Robin Wendy , Pillay Mershen
Published: January 2022

ABSTRACT Women in South African townships remain an invisible population in terms of understanding their lives and the implications on wellbeing. "Coloured" women's narratives problematise and critically explore their lived realities as socially constructed oppression that has not been addressed following the end of legislated apartheid. The politics of the personal, display the matrix of domination at play, in a specific sociocultural milieu while contrapuntally illustrating their standing up to resist capitulation. These actions and activities are occupations of resistance, occupations that are in opposition to, and possibly a reaction to, perceived injustice as well as the suppression of occupational choice and self-determinism. Occupations ofresistance are hard work, performed with or without public acknowledgement while fostering perseverance to cope, to feel in control and, against the odds, to be resilient. The suffocating conditions that belie the narratives illustrate the lack of adequate solutions to these issues and call for a new humanism. These women's narratives allow us to envision authentic public health discourses that recognise grassroots explanations and solutions. Keywords: Coloured women, occupations of resistance, new humanisms, women's suffocation.
Investigating Student-Donor Memberships Within Collegiate Athletics
Authors: Bogina Austin , Gordon Brian
Published: January 2022

The purpose of this study was to discover the primary characteristics associated with offering student-donor memberships within collegiate athletics. The secondary purpose was to detail the best practices for properly implementing a student-donor membership”. Through semi-structured interviews, the unique insights of 10 NCAA Division I Power-5 fundraising and development associates were able to be explored. The results of this study produced five factors associated with student-donor memberships: structure, benefits, membership fee, communication, and branding. These findings fill a gap in the existing literature due to there being no previous research conducted on student donor programs within collegiate athletics. Furthermore, this study illustrates the common characteristics among student-donor memberships and what we already know about athletic annual funds. While no current research exists on how student-donors fit into the donor life cycle, the results of this study further the knowledge on this highly important yet under examined group.

Faz geçişleri ve kritik parametrelerin incelenmesi yaklaşık yüzyıllık bir geçmişe sahiptir. Bilimin bu alanına gösterilen ilgi, önemli araştırmalarla faz geçişleri ve maddenin kritik durumlarıyla ilgili bir bilgi birikimi elde edilmesini sağlamıştır. Buna karşın, yapılan teorik ve deneysel çalışmalar halen maddenin basınç, sıcaklık diyagramının tamamlanmamış olduğunu da göstermektedir. Özellikle (p-T) faz diyagramında plazmanın yer almaması, sıvı fazın basınca bağlı sınır aralığının belirsizliği ve denge eğrilerinin durumu araştırmaların odak konularının oluşturmaktadır. Saf maddenin hal diyagramında (p-T) sadece üç fazın ve bu fazları birbirinden ayıran sınır eğrilerinin iki temel nokta ile temsil edilmesi hal diyagramını sınırlandırmaktadır. Buna karşın, evrenin %98’ni oluşturan ve maddenin dördüncü fazı olarak kabul görmüş olan plazmanın (p-T) faz diyagramında yer almaması ve sıvı fazın belirsizliği devam ettikçe, faz geçişleri ve kritik parametrelerin çözülmesi mümkün değildir.

Published: January 2022

Apple is a climacteric temperate fruit with high market demand providing essential components to the body. Nowadays, apple production is increasing every year especially in EU member countries are the highest producer. Hence, this paper reviews the postharvest quality and associated changes during handling. Usually, farmers face difficulty in estimating the right harvesting time though Different methods exist to test the maturity stage such as counting the days after full bloom, color change, firmness test, measuring soluble sugar, starch iodine test and Streif index. Depending on different factors, farmers can choose the best maturity estimation method in various locations. Postharvest diseases of apples makeup a major part of the economic losses incurred during apple production. Annual losses of many fruits, including apple, vary from 5 to 35% and for developing countries, it ranges between 20%-50%. The most common causes are poor harvesting methods, transportation and storage methods which can open access for fungal growth species such as Botrytis species. B. cinerea is one of the most important of the species with unique characteristics causing the highest losses.

Published: January 2022

Mamey apple (Mammea americana) is a tropical fruit largely consumed and more and more coveted as it is a rich source of antioxidants. There is considerable interest in fruits phenolic compounds due to their different characteristics and particularly to their role in protection against cardiovascular diseases and cancers through their antioxidant activity. Nutritional characteristics were determined in six mamey apple fruit accessions: Sonson, Pavé 11, Lézarde, Ti Jacques, Escouët and Antonio. The pulps of the ripe fruits were analyzed for moisture, ash, total lipid, total protein, and carbohydrate contents. This study represents a detailed report of phenolic compounds in mamey apple pulp. The metabolite profiling associated with the antioxidant potential represents an important step to the bioactive molecules characterization. The results showed that the accessions studied contained three main classes of phenolic compounds: flavan-3-ols, phenolic acids and flavonols. Those phenolic compounds characterization was then carried out first using liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to Diode Array Detector (DAD). Finally, spectral characteristics and fragmentations were acquired by Mass Spectrometry (MS) using the Electrospray Ionization Interface (ESI). All the identified compounds are interesting metabolites known for their biological properties and nutritional benefits
Physico-chemical properties of Ethiopian Apis mellifera Honey: Review
Authors: Sintayehu Berhanu , Dereje Mamo Tadesse , Amauel Jorge
Published: January 2022

The aim of this review is focused on the physical, chemical, and antioxidant properties of Ethiopian honey such as moisture contents, reducing sugars (glucose and fructose), free acidity, pH, hydroxymethylfurfural, (HMF), phenolic compounds, minerals, and water-insoluble solid and enzymatic activity of honey. Generally, the average values of the parameter were within the acceptable ranges of National, EU, and FAO/WHO which was set as permission limit requirement for general blossom honey quality. Accordingly, HMF (9.46±7.11mg/kg), moisture contents (18.93%±1.92%), free acidity (23.2±10 meq/kg), pH (3.94±0.14) ash content (0.32%±0.13%), electrical Conductivity (0.41±0.16 mS/cm), water-insoluble solids (0.20%±0.07%), reducing Sugar (70.46%±3.5,0%), and Sucrose (2.75%±1.1%) of the honey was found to be low, this value suggesting that Ethiopian honey were of good quality. The total phenolic contents of honey were high and strongly correlated with the antioxidant activity/radical scavenging capacity. A large portion of research findings are not focused on medicinal value therefore, more research would be important to focus on honey from medicinal plants and to build up the possible relations between the bioactive substances in plant parts and their nectars.
ATLANTIS: An adaptive multi-arm phase II trial of maintenance targeted therapy after chemotherapy in advanced/metastatic urothelial cancer - Rucaparib arm v1
Authors: J Jones Robert , Crabb Simon , Powles Thomas
Published: January 2022

Background: Metastatic urothelial cancer (MUC) is the eighth most common cause of cancer death in the UK. Chemotherapy is standard treatment for MUC. Although MUC is initially sensitive to chemotherapy, patients usually relapse within 6 months of completion. The outcome, once relapse has occurred, is very poor (median overall survival 8 months). Therefore, maintaining response to chemotherapy is an attractive goal, and a good environment for testing active single agents in MUC. ATLANTIS is a multi-arm, multi-stage signal searching trial. Patients will be allocated to treatment (vs observation or placebo where possible) based on biomarker expression. Design: ATLANTIS is a randomised phase II biomarker directed umbrella screening trial of maintenance therapy in biomarker defined subgroups of patients with advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival. The protocol consists of a generic main section plus novel drug-specific appendices. The relevant novel drug-specific appendices will be amended when each specific subgroup trial completes or when a further novel drug subgroup is introduced. Central tissue screening for biomarker will occur prior to randomisation. Objectives: The trial will investigate whether maintenance targeted therapy after chemotherapy, with treatment selection based on biomarker expression, delays time to progression and overall survival for patients with MUC. Endpoints: Primary: To compare progression-free survival (PFS) of trial drug and placebo/observation. Different drugs will be tested in different biomarker defined subgroups in an adaptive design. PFS has been chosen as the primary end-point as it is largely objective (the majority of urothelial cancer patients will display progression in accordance with RECIST1.1 criteria) and clinically meaningful - progression after first line therapy represents the transition to the lethal stage of the disease and often the requirement for further cytotoxic therapy. Secondary: Overall survival, response rate, maximum percentage decrease in measurable disease, safety and tolerability. Exploratory: Progression free survival in subgroups defined by biomarkers other than those used for treatment allocation. Translational: Archival tissue, plasma and circulating tumor DNA will be stored and used for future research.

Published: January 2022

The variety of factors affecting the thermal conditions of a frictional couple results in complexity of the simulation of this problem. Among these factors, thermophysical (thermal conductivity, specific heat, coefficient of linear expansion of bodies, etc.) and also mechanical ones (elasticity, hardness of contacting bodies, etc.) play an important role. The conditions of friction, wear and heat generation are also determined by the characteristics of the so-called “third body”, i.e., thin near-surface and intermediate layers, the physical and mechanical properties of which differ from those of the interacting bodies, and by the microgeometry of their surfaces in the contact zone. The method of determination of thermal contact conductance in mathematical modelling of contact interaction with considering friction and hear generation by “third body” is presented. Using of modified conditions of heat contact in mathematical model of contact thermoelasticity taking into account of friction and heat generation is proposed. After numerical analysis, the graphs of dependence of thermal contact conductance on the input parameters are constructed and substantial influence of some of them is detected. On the example of one-dimensional non-stationary contact problem of thermoelasticity with heat generation of friction the influence of some physical and mechanical parameters on the temperature and heat fluxes in the contact bodies is investigated.

Currently, an industry analysis becomes important in shedding light about Coach Ins.’s possible solutions to the perceived challenges. For example, an extremely intense competition in luxury goods has been attributed to low market-entry barriers because not all corporations pose the capacity of gaining great achievements. For instance, many firms have had to withdraw from the market due to failures arising from ineffective follow-up financial support. In addition, two sets of customer groups exist. On the one hand, fashion-conscious customers prefer designs that keep up with the latest fashion trends. On the other hand, rational customers are those who prefer affordable luxury goods that may not only be characterized by classic styles but also stay without being outdated for a substantial period. Prior to the provision of recommendations towards retaining a competitive advantage in the wake of increasing or stiffening global competition and a decline in consumer spending within the luxury goods industry, Kurt Lewin’s 3-stage model is selected and discussed as a guiding framework guiding technological change realization at Coach Inc.

The motive of the project is to develop a under budget system that automates the process of farming by interfacing cutting edge technologies like Drones and ‘NDVI’ to improve the level of productivity in Agriculture. Humans and satellites have a hard time beating a drone’s eye for detail in scanning farming systems from above. Flying below the clouds, collecting and sending images in almost real-time, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) gained ground quickly in agriculture in the last decade as part of so-called precision agriculture. Among their wide range of applications, they can help farmers check crops’ health, track livestock, plan fertilization, assess damages, and map fields at high-resolution. But all this comes with a cost. Currently the models of drones used for such applications cost extensively higher, which makes it unfeasible for the small farmers, especially in India. The projects aim on designing a drone system that can work on both autonomous as well as manual mode and perform mapping, inspecting and spraying processes with efficiency accuracy and considerably good speed which can help boosting the profits of the farmers with large as well as small agricultural lands. As there are lots of restrictions on Drone flight in India. The project aims to follow and implements all the norms stated by the government. (e.g., Permission before flight). The project aims towards overcoming all the above-mentioned problems by automating the procedure.

Artikel ini membahas kemiskinan struktural pada wanita di kota Surabaya sebab tidak membagikan peluang yang serupa untuk wanita buat memperoleh akses pangkal energi. Ibu rumah tangga pada keluarga miskin seakan terencana dimiskinkan tetapi mereka memiliki energi lenting yang dapat membuat keluarganya bertahan di tengah situasi yang serba kekurangan. Riset ini memakai metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan naratif buat mendefinisikan cara pemiskinan ibu rumah tangga pada keluarga miskin di kota Surabaya serta untuk mengambarkan daya lenting ibu rumah tangga pada keluarga miskin supaya mereka sanggup bertahan hidup. Hasil riset ini membuktikan kalau bunda rumah tangga pada keluarga miskin kota Surabaya hadapi feminisasi kekurangan. Bunda rumah tangga keluarga miskin mempunyai sumber daya manusia (SDM) yang terbatas. Mereka tidak diberi peluang buat mengakses pangkal energi di luar yang bisa tingkatkan kapasitasnya. Mereka hadapi bobot dobel dimana mereka tidak bisa meninggalkan profesi domestiknya. Guna memenuhi kebutuhan hidup keluarganya serta menghadapi situasi yang krisis, ibu rumah tangga pada keluarga miskin memiliki daya lenting antara lain merupakan berdagang di depan rumahnya, menghemat pengeluaran, menjual atau menggadaikan benda, mengikuti arisan, serta meminjam uang pada orang sebelah atau kerabat atau perbankan. This study discusses structural poverty among women in the city of Surabaya because it does not provide equal opportunities for women to get access to resources. Housewives in poor families seem to be deliberately impoverished but they have resilience that can make their families survive in the midst of deprived conditions. This study uses a qualitative method with a narrative approach to describe the process of impoverishment of housewives in poor families in the city of Surabaya and to describe the resilience of housewives to poor families so that they are able to survive. The results of this study indicate that housewives in poor families in the city of Surabaya experience the feminization of poverty. Housewives of poor families have low human resources. They are not given the opportunity to access outside resources that can increase their capacity. They experience a double burden where they are not allowed to leave their domestic work. To meet the needs of their families and face a crisis situation, housewives in poor families have resilience, including selling in front of their homes, saving expenses, selling/pawning goods, participating in social gatherings, and borrowing money from neighbors/relatives/banks

This study was conducted to examine the effect of starting a meal with salt and date palm on the sense of taste in COVID-19 patients. This study was conducted using a randomized controlled method. Patient and disease information forms and Visual Analog Scale were used for data collection. Salt and date palm were used to stimulate the sense of taste in two different experimental groups. No procedure was made in the control group except for the practice of the clinic. The results were analyzed using SPSS version 25. The mean ages of all groups were between 43.42 ± 8.60 and 47.22 ± 12.04 years. Fever, sore throat, dry mouth, cough, muscle weakness, and similar symptoms were present in all groups. Significant improvements were found in patients with hypoageusia and ageusia after date palm and salt application (p<0.01). For taste impairment caused by COVID-19, consumption of date palm and tasting very little salt for therapeutic purposes may help to alleviate taste impairment. Based on the data obtained from this study, the pathophysiology of the effects of date palm and salt on taste complications should be investigated.
Lower / upper extremity F-wave ratio for detecting early diabetic neuropathy
Authors: Ünlütürk Zeynep , Tekin Selma , Erdoğan Çağdaş
Published: January 2022

Results of conventional nerve conduction studies may be within normal limits in early diabetic neuropathy. Previous studies demonstrated that F-wave latency should be used to detect this early neuropathic process. The aim of this study is to evaluate the sensitivity of lower/upper extremity F latency ratios in detecting the early neuropathy in patients with diabetic neuropathic pain. 44 patients with diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP) and 44 control subjects whose both conventional nerve conduction studies and F-wave latencies were within normal limits were included to the study. We compared the nerve conduction parameters and lower/upper extremity (tibial/ulnar) F latency ratios of the groups. Tibial F latency was significantly prolonged and tibial/ulnar F latency ratio was significantly higher in DNP group. Our results support that F-waves are useful for detecting early diabetic neuropathy and suggest that comparison with a control group will demonstrate a difference even when the individuals’ F-wave latencies are within the normal limits. The difference was significant for tibial but not for ulnar F latency values supporting the length dependent involvement. The tibial/ ulnar F-wave latency ratio was significantly higher in the DNP group, suggesting that it might also be useful to detect early neuropathy and to demonstrate that the underlying process was predominant in lower extremity. Further studies may provide additional information about the utility of this ratio for detecting early neuropathy even when F-wave latencies are within normal limits.
