Applied Theatre: Resettlement
Authors: Balfour Michael , Bundy Penny , Burton Bruce , Dunn Julie , Woodrow Nina
Published: November 2017

The book offers a compelling combination of analyis and detailed description of aesthetic projects with young refugee arrivals in Australia. In it the authors present a framework that contextualises the intersections of refugee studies, resilience and trauma, and theatre and arts-based practice, setting out a context for understanding and valuing the complexity of drama in this growing area of applied theatre.

Applied Theatre: Resettlement includes rich analysis of three aesthetic case studies in Primary, Secondary and Further Education contexts with young refugees. The case studies provide a unique insight into the different age specific needs of newly arrived young people. The authors detail how each group and educational context shaped diverse drama and aesthetic responses: the Primary school case study uses process drama as a method to enhance language acquisition and develop intercultural literacy; the Secondary school project focuses on Forum Theatre and peer teaching with young people as a means of enhancing language confidence and creating opportunities for cultural competency in the school community, and the further education case study explores work with unaccompanied minors and employs integrated multi art forms (poetry, art, drama, digital arts, clay sculptures and voice work) to increase confidence in language acquisition and explore different forms of expression and communication about the transition process.

Through its careful framing of practice to speak to concerns of power, process, representation and ethics, the authors ensure the studies have an international relevance beyond their immediate context. Drama, Refugees and Resilience will contribute to new professional knowledge building in the fields of applied theatre and refugee studies about the efficacy of drama practice in enhancing language acquisition, cultural settlement and pedagogy with newly arrived refugee young people.

Why Stand-up Matters
Authors: Quirk Sophie
Published: November 2017

Funny, lively and unpredictable, stand-up comedy is above all a medium to be enjoyed. Popular as a good night out and packing the TV schedules, stand-up permeates British society and culture.

Ubiquitous though it is, we are generally reluctant to consider comedy’s social consequences. When comedians offend we seem ready to consider the potential for stand-up to do some wider harm, yet we rarely consider the good that it might do.

This book looks at the social and political impact of stand-up comedy in both its positive and negative forms. Drawing on exclusive interviews with comedians such as Stewart Lee, Josie Long, Joe Wilkinson and Mark Thomas, and examples of comic material on everything from revolution, terrorism and homosexuality, to knitting and the inefficiency of the home shower, it explores comedy’s role in determining our attitudes and opinions. While revealing the conventions comics use to manage audience response, Sophie Quirk demonstrates how comedy audiences allow themselves to be manipulated, and the potential harm – and real benefits – that may arise from ‘just’ being funny.

Meyerhold on Theatre
Authors: Braun Edward
Published: November 2017

Meyerhold on Theatre brings together in one volume Vsevolod Meyerhold’s most significant writings and utterances, and covers his entire career as a director from 1902 to 1939. It contains a comprehensive selection from all published material, unabridged and translated from the original Russian, updated and supplemented with a critical commentary relating Meyerhold to his period and eye-witness accounts describing all his productions. The book is illustrated with photographs of Meyerhold’s designs and productions.

Within this diverse collection of sometimes dense, sometimes lyrical, and always fascinating writings, Meyerhold emerges from this book as a forerunner of such directors as Brecht, Piscator, Planchon and Brook, a relentless enemy of naturalism and a supreme exponent of total theatre whose influence continues to be felt throughout the theatre of today.

This fourth edition features a new introduction by Prof. Jonathan Pitches, which helps to demystify some of the terminology Meyerhold and his associates used, and indicates the fundamental connection between culture and politics represented in his life and art.

Equatorward dispersion of a high-latitude volcanic plume and its relation to the Asian summer monsoon: a case study of the Sarychev eruption in 2009
Authors: Wu Xue , Griessbach Sabine , Hoffmann Lars
Published: November 2017

Abstract. Tropical volcanic eruptions have been widely studied for their significant contribution to stratospheric aerosol loading and global climate impacts, but the impact of high-latitude volcanic eruptions on the stratospheric aerosol layer is not clear and the pathway of transporting aerosol from high latitudes to the tropical stratosphere is not well understood. In this work, we focus on the high-latitude volcano Sarychev (48.1° N, 153.2° E), which erupted in June 2009, and the influence of the Asian summer monsoon (ASM) on the equatorward dispersion of the volcanic plume. First, the sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission time series and plume height of the Sarychev eruption are estimated with SO2 observations of the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) and a backward trajectory approach using the Lagrangian particle dispersion model Massive–Parallel Trajectory Calculations (MPTRAC). Then, the transport and dispersion of the plume are simulated using the derived SO2 emission time series. The transport simulations are compared with SO2 observations from AIRS and validated with aerosol observations from the Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS). The MPTRAC simulations show that about 4 % of the sulfur emissions were transported to the tropical stratosphere within 50 days after the beginning of the eruption, and the plume dispersed towards the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) through isentropic transport above the subtropical jet. The MPTRAC simulations and MIPAS aerosol data both show that between the potential temperature levels of 360 and 400 K, the equatorward transport was primarily driven by anticyclonic Rossby wave breaking enhanced by the ASM in boreal summer. The volcanic plume was entrained along the anticyclone flows and reached the TTL as it was transported southwestwards into the deep tropics downstream of the anticyclone. Further, the ASM anticyclone influenced the pathway of aerosols by isolating an aerosol hole inside of the ASM, which was surrounded by aerosol-rich air outside. This transport barrier was best indicated using the potential vorticity gradient approach. Long-term MIPAS aerosol detections show that after entering the TTL, aerosol from the Sarychev eruption remained in the tropical stratosphere for about 10 months and ascended slowly. The ascent speed agreed well with the ascent speed of the water vapor tape recorder. Furthermore, a hypothetical MPTRAC simulation for a wintertime eruption was carried out. It is shown that under winter atmospheric circulations, the equatorward transport of the plume would be suppressed by the strong subtropical jet and weak wave breaking events. In this hypothetical scenario, a high-latitude volcanic eruption would not be able to contribute to the tropical stratospheric aerosol layer.
Analysis of influential factors for the relationship between PM2.5 and AOD in Beijing
Authors: Zheng Caiwang , Zhao Chuanfeng , Zhu Yannian , Wang Yang , Shi Xiaoqin , Wu Xiaolin , Chen Tianmeng , Wu Fang , Qiu Yanmei
Published: November 2017

Abstract. The relationship between aerosol optical depth (AOD) and PM2.5 is often investigated in order to obtain surface PM2.5 from satellite observation of AOD with a broad area coverage. However, various factors could affect the AOD–PM2.5 regressions. Using both ground and satellite observations in Beijing from 2011 to 2015, this study analyzes the influential factors including the aerosol type, relative humidity (RH), planetary boundary layer height (PBLH), wind speed and direction, and the vertical structure of aerosol distribution. The ratio of PM2.5 to AOD, which is defined as η, and the square of their correlation coefficient (R2) have been examined. It shows that η varies from 54.32 to 183.14, 87.32 to 104.79, 95.13 to 163.52, and 1.23 to 235.08 µg m−3 with aerosol type in spring, summer, fall, and winter, respectively. η is smaller for scattering-dominant aerosols than for absorbing-dominant aerosols, and smaller for coarse-mode aerosols than for fine-mode aerosols. Both RH and PBLH affect the η value significantly. The higher the RH, the smaller the η, and the higher the PBLH, the smaller the η. For AOD and PM2.5 data with the correction of RH and PBLH compared to those without, R2 of monthly averaged PM2.5 and AOD at 14:00 LT increases from 0.63 to 0.76, and R2 of multi-year averaged PM2.5 and AOD by time of day increases from 0.01 to 0.93, 0.24 to 0.84, 0.85 to 0.91, and 0.84 to 0.93 in four seasons respectively. Wind direction is a key factor for the transport and spatial–temporal distribution of aerosols originated from different sources with distinctive physicochemical characteristics. Similar to the variation in AOD and PM2.5, η also decreases with the increasing surface wind speed, indicating that the contribution of surface PM2.5 concentrations to AOD decreases with surface wind speed. The vertical structure of aerosol exhibits a remarkable change with seasons, with most particles concentrated within about 500 m in summer and within 150 m in winter. Compared to the AOD of the whole atmosphere, AOD below 500 m has a better correlation with PM2.5, for which R2 is 0.77. This study suggests that all the above influential factors should be considered when we investigate the AOD–PM2.5 relationships.
De lagos propios a Patrimonio de la Nación. Disputas por el espacio acuático en la Reserva Nacional Pacaya Samiria
Authors: Campanera Reig Mireia
Published: November 2017

La investigación etnográfica desarrollada entre 2008 y 2015 sobre un conflicto de pesca en un lago de la Reserva Nacional Pacaya Samiria —RNPS, Perú— reveló las vicisitudes históricas, políticas y culturales de la organización comunal de los espacios acuáticos de la várzea amazónica. Se constató que la creación del área natural protegida y sus políticas de gestión afectaron negativamente a los usos consuetudinarios. La administración del área, a pesar de que decía impulsar la colaboración con la población residente, no tuvo en consideración las nociones que someten a control social la extracción de recursos como el mezquineo. Tampoco contempló las normas consuetudinarias ni la cosmología acuática Kukama- Kukamiria. El artículo indaga en las articulaciones entre las lógicas comunales consuetudinarias que regulan el acceso y uso de los espacios lacustres, y la política de gestión institucional que se implementa. La investigación constató que las normatividades consuetudinarias y estatales entran en disputa por la soberanía de los espacios acuáticos y que la cogestión nunca llegó a implementarse plenamente, dada la dificultad de las instituciones públicas para compartir poder con las comunidades.
La remunicipalización del servicio de abastecimiento urbano de agua: instituciones y común
Authors: Bagué Tova Edurne
Published: November 2017

En el contexto social y político catalán surgido tras el estallido de la crisis de finales de 2008, el debate sobre la gestión del agua ha ido tomando relevancia pública hasta el punto de ser parte central en los programas políticos que las nuevas candidaturas electorales surgidas después del movimiento conocido como 15M prepararon para las elecciones municipales de 2015. Este proceso ha ido en paralelo con los cambios sociales acontecidos después del 15 de mayo de 2011, hecho que se constata en distintos aspectos. Algunas de las características que marcan este periodo son los cambios en el discurso, el cambio de algunos de sus protagonistas, el trato de la gestión del agua; así como la sustitución progresiva de una estrategia centrada en la no privatización, hacia el reclamo del aumento de la capacidad de decidir de la ciudadanía en la gestión del agua en el ámbito municipal. Pasando de una lucha a escala estatal y/o autonómica a una a escala local. En este artículo se enumeran aquellos aspectos que dan pie a la pregunta: ¿Qué concepción del común articula el nuevo escenario de lucha por el agua municipal y qué formas empíricas adquiere?
Engineered Scaffolds and Cell-Based Therapy for Periodontal Regeneration
Authors: Carmagnola Daniela , Tarce Mihai , Dellavia Claudia , Rimondini Lia , Varoni Elena M.
Published: November 2017

Background

The main objective of regenerative periodontal therapy is to completely restore the periodontal tissues lost. This review summarizes the most recent evidence in support of scaffold- and cell-based tissue engineering, which are expected to play a relevant role in next-generation periodontal regenerative therapy.

Methods

A literature search (PubMed database) was performed to analyze more recently updated articles regarding periodontal regeneration, scaffolds and cell-based technologies.

Results

Evidence supports the importance of scaffold physical cues to promote periodontal regeneration, including scaffold multicompartmentalization and micropatterning. The in situ delivery of biological mediators and/or cell populations, both stem cells and already differentiated cells, has shown promising in vivo efficacy.

Conclusions

Porous scaffolds are pivotal for clot stabilization, wound compartmentalization, cell homing and cell nutrients delivery. Given the revolutionary introduction of rapid prototyping technique and cell-based therapies, the fabrication of custom-made scaffolds is not far from being achieved.
Incidence of Postoperative Neurologic Complications in Pugs Following Portosystemic Shunt Attenuation Surgery
Authors: Wallace Mandy L. , MacPhail Catriona M. , Monnet Eric
Published: November 2017

Postoperative seizures occur in 5–12% of dogs following surgical attenuation of congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunts (CEPSS) and are often refractory to treatment. Because pugs are predisposed to necrotizing meningoencephalitis, they may be at higher risk of developing neurologic complications after CEPSS attenuation. We hypothesized that pugs have a higher prevalence of postoperative neurologic complications and that pugs who died due to neurologic complications would have evidence of encephalitis at necropsy. Records were searched for pugs that had undergone surgical correction of a single extrahepatic CEPSS. Fourteen pugs met the inclusion criteria and were compared with a control group of 30 dogs of varying breeds who also underwent surgical attenuation for a single CEPSS. Four of 14 pugs (28.6%) died or were euthanized within 1 mo after surgery for neurologic complications, compared with only 1 of 30 dogs in the control group (P < .029). No evidence of necrotizing meningoencephalitis was seen on necropsy. Pugs may be at an increased risk of developing fatal neurologic complications following surgical attenuation for CEPSS. Further studies are indicated to investigate reasons for this increased risk, as well as to determine any factors that may indicate which pugs are at higher risk.
Incorporating stand level risk management options into forest decision support systems
Authors: Eyvindson Kyle , Saad Rami , Eriksson Ljusk Ola
Published: November 2017

Aim of study: To examine methods of incorporating risk and uncertainty to stand level forest decisions.Area of study: A case study examines a small forest holding from Jönköping, Sweden.Material and methods: We incorporate empirically estimated uncertainty into the simulation through a Monte Carlo approach when simulating the forest stands for the next 100 years. For the iterations of the Monte Carlo approach, errors were incorporated into the input data which was simulated according to the Heureka decision support system. Both the Value at Risk and the Conditional Value at Risk of the net present value are evaluated for each simulated stand.Main results: Visual representation of the errors can be used to highlight which decision would be most beneficial dependent on the decision maker’s opinion of the forest inventory results. At a stand level, risk preferences can be rather easily incorporated into the current forest decision support software.Research highlights: Forest management operates under uncertainty and risk. Methods are available to describe this risk in an understandable fashion for the decision maker.
HEALTHCARE LOGISTICS: AN INTEGRAL, PROCESS-ORIENTED APPROACH
Authors: Geesteranus Peter Maas , Mańkowski Cezary
Published: November 2017

The healthcare industry is in full swing. Pressure on the industry increases as a result of social, economic and financial developments. An aging population, increase in care demand, high costs and higher demands on customer value are significant aspects in this. One of the ways of dealing with this, in the Netherlands as well as in Poland, is to organize healthcare processes more efficiently in combination with a more empathetic focus on the customer. Healthcare Logistics stands for an integral approach of the design of healthcare processes, in order to make a contribution to the optimizing of customer value, cost control and savings in the healthcare. Lean and process management focus mainly on designing healthcare processes as efficient as possible where appointments with the customer of those processes are the principle. The logistic contribution counts mainly for tuning the required and available capacity. For the development and putting into practice of integral and customer oriented process management there are several models and tools available, which are deployed in conjunction with each other. Hence the article is focused on integral process oriented approach of healthcare logistics.
PASSENGER LOGISTICS CENTERS PRESENTNESS AND FUTURE
Authors: Buczek Bartłomiej
Published: November 2017

This article is dedicated to the role of passenger logistics centers in passenger logistics support systems. Presentations were made through the prism of defining the role of passenger logistics support systems. In today’s conceived economic reality, the rules of logistics also apply to everyday human activities. People have to meet their needs and move around. In this perspective, man becomes a resource. There must therefore be passenger logistics support systems, the key elements of which are passenger logistics centers. They fulfill the key logistic functions and enable the achievement of the logistics objectives (5 “W”). The article attempts to describe the present and future role of passenger logistics centers. Information on these centers has been collected, based on scientific achievements of specialists in this field (including M. Chaberek), on railway infrastructure managers and on the author’s experience. Finally, conclusions were drawn, in which direction should be assessed both passenger logistics support systems and, above all, passenger logistics centers. An attempt was also made to determine the postulated future role of passenger logistics centers in the logistics system of the country.
RAILWAY TRANSPORT UNDER POLISH LAW
Authors: Ruciński Maciej
Published: November 2017

The article presents an outline of the law governing railway transport in comparison with the regulations for road transport. The comparison shows that railway entrepreneurs are much more encumbered with legal obligations than road carriers, which in part is due to the specificity of this branch of transport. The essential constraints to the competitiveness of railway transport relate to the cost of access to railway infrastructure and its condition. The article also points out the faulty legislation, disadvantageous to both modes of transport, and attempts to determine the impact of legal solutions for the development of rail transport.
THEORY OR PRACTICE? THE CONCEPT OF LABORATORY IN THE TEACHING PROGRAMME IN THE FIELD OF LOGISTICS
Authors: Krzywda Joanna , Krzywda Dariusz
Published: November 2017

This paper presents the concept of setting up a packaging laboratory in the field of studies of logistics. The springboard for the discussion is an assumption that now with an increasingly demanding job market and much sought-after hands-on experience in candidates for jobs in logistics there is a need to increase the number of hours of experiential learning classes for students of logistics. Since it is not always possible to establish professional laboratories, which require significantly high financial means, it should be considered how to provide for the basic objectives which a laboratory should offer when having much more modest financial means. This is the reason why this paper defines what can be expected from practical classes and what type of classes should be conducted in a laboratory. The discussion also included an analysis of a short pilot study of experiential learning classes conducted in a laboratory of packaging materials.

Authors: Liu Katy C. , Rosdahl Jullia A. , El-Dairi Mays
Published: November 2017

A 71-year-old white man presented to an outside hospital with acute bilateral vision loss of 1 week’s duration. Five days prior to presentation he had been diagnosed with anterior uveitis by his primary ophthalmologist and was started on prednisolone acetate 1% and atropine eye drops. He reported a remote history of acute vision loss in the setting of a sinus infection with recovery of his vision following treatment of the infection. The patient’s symptoms did not improve, and he was transferred to a tertiary care facility for additional workup. On further questioning, the patient endorsed new-onset headache of 2-3 weeks’ duration, severe pain with chewing, scalp pain, and weight loss. He denied recent eye or head trauma. He denied recent illness, fevers, chills, night sweats, cough, and shortness of breath. He denied recent alcohol or drug use, and he denied any history of sexually transmitted diseases.
Strategies of Actors Influencing Electoral Integrity: A Case Study of the Czech Republic
Authors: Jarabinský Ivan
Published: November 2017

The goal of this study is to examine the behaviour of electoral stakeholders that has influenced the quality of parliamentary elections in the Czech Republic since the 1998 elections. The text attempts to answer these questions: ‘What kinds of strategies do political actors use in electoral processes that decrease the quality of elections?’ ‘Do these tactics vary over time?’ ‘Are they efficient?’ ‘Who are the actors?’ The Czech Republic, as a newly established democracy, features comparably very high electoral integrity, while neighbouring countries experience (from time to time) electoral problems. This work aims to describe the behaviour of electoral stakeholders in order to understand whether they behave in a manner which maintains a high level of electoral integrity. The framework for analysis is constructed on the background of Andreas Schedler’s work (2002; 2013) with respect to influencing the level of institutional rules or the game within those rules. The analysis consists of different kinds of data sources. Among these, election observation mission reports, parties’ strategic documents (party manifestos), secondary analyses (providing the explanation of behaviour), and news (offering information about behaviour on a daily basis) are most important. The results will provide a description of primary electoral stakeholder behaviour, which then allows us to better understand how they affect electoral integrity.
Between Milieu and Vacuum. Organizational, Programmatic, and Electoral Strategies of the Former Party of Democratic Socialism (PDS) and the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia (KSČM) Reexamined
Authors: Kim Seongcheol
Published: November 2017

This paper proposes an updated approach to explaining two outcomes unforeseen by the existing comparative literature on post-communist successor parties: 1) the electoral stabilization (and even growth) and 2) the divergent developments of the Party of Democratic Socialism (PDS; later DIE LINKE) in Germany and the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia (KSČM). The paper proceeds by integrating a critical reexamination of earlier studies’ organizational and programmatic explanations of electoral success with an analysis of the party-system level of government-opposition signaling and positioning vis-à-vis other parties, which can be expected to take on heightened importance in ‘third-generation elections.’ It is argued that both parties’ successes were tied to a strategic orientation toward going beyond their confinement in a delimited electoral ‘milieu’ and occupying a wider electoral ‘vacuum’ to the left of their Social Democratic competitors, albeit with early programmatic modernization and delayed organizational centralization in the PDS as opposed to a near-total continuity of programmatic non-reform and decentralized organization in the KSČM. The findings suggest that earlier studies specifically overlook the impact of subsequent (‘third-generation’) iterations of party competition on successor-party success as well as the mediation of organizational and programmatic factors by the party-system level.

Por un concepto de las empresas públicas peruanas
Authors: Cueva Orlando Vignolo
Published: November 2017

Las empresas públicas deben ser definidas expresamente en el Derecho administrativo peruano, más allá de toda discusión multidisciplinaria sobre su existencia efectiva y valor en la actual realidad del país. Esto último es una necesidad urgente para delimitarlas en su contenido jurídico y asegurar que esta técnica tenga equilibrados alcances, partiendo siempre desde su justificación constitucional y obligatoria práctica al servicio del interés público. En adición esta tarea resulta necesaria debido a la poca precisión dogmática que mantiene nuestro Legislador en el escueto y algo desordenado régimen de actividad empresarial del Estado, el cual termina siendo sólo uno más en un conjunto de normas sectoriales que regulan a varios de estos sujetos económicos de titularidad pública.

A releitura do princípio da capacidade econômica nos tributos ambientais e o novo princípio da capacidade poluidora
Authors: Rabbani Roberto Muhájir Rahnemay
Published: November 2017

O “princípio da capacidade contributiva” ou “princípio da capacidade econômica”, vem determinado no art. 145, § 1o, da Constituição da República Federativa do Brasil de 1988 (CRFB), e é um dos alicerces do Direito Tributário. Este princípio estabelece que cada cidadão deverá contribuir para os gastos públicos na medida de sua possibilidade financeira. Ao tratar de tributos ambientais, o Direito Ambiental alia-se ao Direito Tributário em prol de um objetivo comum: a proteção ambiental. Contudo, diante deste cenário, verifica-se que o “princípio da capacidade contributiva” tem seu protagonismo deslocado, cedendo lugar para o princípio ambiental do “poluidor-pagador”, conforme o art. 225 da CRFB, a Lei 6.938/81 e diversos acordos internacionais. Sem negar a aplicação dos princípios tributários, em especial o “princípio da capacidade contributiva”, a partir de revisões doutrinárias e legais, o presente estudo tem como objetivo apresentar um inovador princípio tributário-ambiental, o “princípio da capacidade poluidora”, que insere um novo paradigma no sistema tributário.

Хемолимфа представља главну тјелесну течност пужева, чија је циркулација условљенаритмичким контракцијама срца и мишића стопала (Sembrat, 1981). Хемолимфа садржи протеине,пуферске системе и респираторни пигмент те обезбјеђује релативно сталан састав унутрашњесредине организма. Протеини обезбјеђују колоидно-осмотски притисак. Главну улогу, међупротеинима, у одржавању колоидно-осмотског притиска имају албумини, док је улога глобулиназнатно мања. Посебну улогу у хемолимфи имају респираторни пигменти, који врше транспортгасова. Концентрација глукозе у хемолимфи cпецифична је за сваку врсту, али је могуће варирањекод једне исте јединке у зависности од њене физиолошке активности. Код пужа Helix pomatiaоткривена су два облика холинестараза: једна потпуно растворљива (FS) у хемолимфи и која чини90% од укупне активности, и друга мембрански везана која је растворљива у детерџентима (DS).Присуство хемоцита још је једна од карактеристика хемолимфе. Они директно учествују успречавању истицања хемолимфе из организма на мјесту оштећења. Циљ рада је поређењекарактеристика хемолимфе Helix pomatia из различитих станишта. Узорци виноградског пужасакупљени су са два различита локалитета, од којих је један смјештен на планини Озрен, док седруги налази у урбаном подручју Добоја. С обзиром на то да локалитете са којих су сакупљениузорци карактеришу различити комплекси абиотичких и биотичких услова, истраживањaтјелесних течности као показатеља стања организма имају посебан значај јер истовремено служе икао биоиндикатори стања животне средине. Нижа вриједност концентрације протеина иактивности ацетилхолинестеразе установљене су код јединки које су сакупљене на подручју градаДобоја. Концентрација протеина зависи од многих спољашњих и унутрашњих фактора који утичуна организам, од старости организма, активности животиње, репродукције и сл. Претпостављамода је хипопротеинемија забиљежена код пужева сакупљених у урбаном подручју посљедицаредукције синтезе протеина у хепатопанкреасу изазване повећаном концентрацијом полутаната.Активности ацетилхолинестеразе користе се као биомаркер који има широку примјену умониторингу различитих загађења. Инактивација активности ацетилхолинестеразе кодиспитиване групе пужева сакупљених на подручју Добоја може се објаснити присуствомантропогеног загађења. Мјесто настанка хемоцита, тип пролиферације и постојање матичнихћелија још увијек нису утврђени. Упркос сталном напретку у проучавању карактеристикахемоцита мекушаца, одговарајући систем њихове класификације и номенклатуре и даље непостоји. Ми смо на размазима хемолимфе идентификовали два типа хемоцита. Резултати нашегистраживања показују да постоје разлике у физиолошким параметрима код јединки којенасељавају станишта са другачијим условима.

Background:

Surgical or nonsurgical treatment of an Achilles tendon rupture includes a period of immobilization that is a well-documented risk factor for deep venous thrombosis (DVT). The DVT is a source of morbidity in orthopedic surgery because it can progress to pulmonary embolism. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of DVT and pulmonary embolism after surgical treatment of an Achilles tendon rupture.

Methods:

A retrospective analysis was made of patients who underwent surgical treatment of Achilles tendon rupture between January 1, 2006, and November 30, 2014. Patient data were collected from the hospital medical record system.

Results:

Of 238 patients with a mean age of 39 years (range, 18–66 years), 18 (7.6%) were diagnosed as having symptomatic DVT. The average body mass index of the patients with DVT was 31.8 (range, 24–33). Of the patients with DVT, 11 were older than 40 years and two-thirds had a body mass index of 30 or greater. Pulmonary embolism was diagnosed in four patients (1.7%), none of whom had DVT symptoms.

Conclusions:

Venous thrombosis continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality in postoperative patients. Limited data are available for the use of thromboprophylaxis in foot and ankle surgery. In light of the literature review and results of this study, we suggest that routine thromboembolism prophylaxis should be considered for patients with Achilles tendon rupture.
The Rare Lateral Cuneocuboid Coalition: A Case Report
Authors: So Eric , Renner Kevin , Quisno Amanda , Logan Daniel
Published: November 2017

Tarsal coalitions typically occur at the talocalcaneal or calcaneonavicular joints. Common findings are pain, limited range of motion, and a pes planus deformity. The focus of this case report includes the presentation, imaging, treatment, and outcomes for a 21-year-old woman diagnosed with a rare lateral cuneocuboid coalition with chronic pain. Clinical and radiographic examinations, typically used to diagnose the common coalition, were unremarkable. Magnetic resonance imaging was diagnostic of the lateral cuneocuboid coalition, which was successfully treated with surgical resection. At 6-year follow-up, she reports resolution of symptoms and has returned to her normal presurgical activity level pain-free. This case is only the third lateral cuneocuboid coalition reported in the literature. The rarity of this coalition and its nonsuspicious clinical presentation make it worthy of acknowledgment.

Background:

We sought to show the biomechanical and morphometric properties of flexor hallucis longus (FHL) and flexor digitorum longus (FDL) tendon grafts harvested by specific surgical approaches and to assess the contribution of FHL slips to the long flexor tendons of the toes.

Methods:

Thirteen fresh-frozen amputated feet (average age, 79 years) were dissected. The connections between the FHL and FDL tendons and the contribution of FHL slips to the long flexor tendons were classified. The biomechanical properties of the tendons and slips were measured using a tensile device.

Results:

The connections between the FHL and FDL tendons were reviewed in two groups. Group 1 had FHL slips (11 cases) and group 2 had cross-slips (two cases). The FHL slips joined the second and third toe long flexor tendon structures. Tendon length decreased significantly from the second to the fifth toe (P < .001). Apart from the second toe tendon being thicker than that of the fourth toe (P = .02) and Young's modulus being relatively smaller in the third versus the fourth toe tendon (P = .01), biomechanical and morphometric properties of second to fourth tendons were similar. Mechanical properties of those tendons were significantly different from fifth toe tendons and FHL slips. Morphometric and biomechanical properties of FHL slips were similar to those of the fifth toe tendon.

Conclusions:

Herein, FHL slips were shown to have biomechanical properties that might contribute to flexor functions of the toes. During the harvesting of tendon grafts from the FHL by minimally invasive incision techniques from the distal plane of the master knot of Henry, cutting slips between FHL and FDL tendons could be considered a cause of postoperative function loss in toes.
Ubiquitin turnover and endocytic trafficking in yeast are regulated by Ser57 phosphorylation of ubiquitin

Despite its central role in protein degradation little is known about the molecular mechanisms that sense, maintain, and regulate steady state concentration of ubiquitin in the cell. Here, we describe a novel mechanism for regulation of ubiquitin homeostasis that is mediated by phosphorylation of ubiquitin at the Ser57 position. We find that loss of Ppz phosphatase activity leads to defects in ubiquitin homeostasis that are at least partially attributable to elevated levels of Ser57 phosphorylated ubiquitin. Phosphomimetic mutation at the Ser57 position of ubiquitin conferred increased rates of endocytic trafficking and ubiquitin turnover. These phenotypes are associated with bypass of recognition by endosome-localized deubiquitylases - including Doa4 which is critical for regulation of ubiquitin recycling. Thus, ubiquitin homeostasis is significantly impacted by the rate of ubiquitin flux through the endocytic pathway and by signaling pathways that converge on ubiquitin itself to determine whether it is recycled or degraded in the vacuole.
