Introduction: Traditionally, moist dressings are being in used routinely by surgeons for management of diabetic foot ulcers. Recently, there is an encouraging trend of using VAC dressings in such patients. This study aimed to compare the outcome of VAC with moist dressing for management of diabetic foot ulcer. Study Design: Prospective randomized controlled trial. Setting: Department of Surgery, Al-Bukyriah General Hospital, Al-Bukayriah, Alqaseem KSA. Period: June 2012 to 07 December 2016. Methods and Material: 200 patients with diabetic foot ulcers. The patients were divided in two equal groups containing 100 patients each. In group A, 100 patients received VAC dressing treatment while in group B, 100 patients received wet dressings. Wound size, % reduction in wound size, appearance of granulation tissue and fate of wound were main outcome measured which were noted at start of study and at the end of study (4th week of therapy). Results: In group A, there were 73 (73%) men and 27 (27%) women with a mean age of 54.98+7.68 years and in group B, there were there were 75 (75%) men and 25 (25%) women with a mean age of 55.23+6.98 years. Size of wound before treatment in group A was 14.23± 6.78 cm2 which reduced to 5.11±1.91 cm2 at 4th wee and in group B it was 14.41±5.93 cm2 in the start which reduced to 11.29±3.63 cm2 at 4th week (p<0.05). Mean %reduction in wound size in group A was 63.22±9.19 and 22.92±7.18 in group B (p<0.05). In group A, 43 (43%) wounds healed spontaneously with shrinkage and group B only 2(2%) healed spontaneously (p<0.05). Conclusions: VAC therapy is superior to moist dressing in terms of achieving early granulation tissue, reduction in wound size and spontaneous wound shrinkage.

Objectives: To establish the association of raised LDL levels withvarious risk factors causing cerebral ischemia in stroke patients. Background: Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is a health concern worldwide. Itcauses enormous disabilities in adult age group, and is 2ndcommonest cause of deaths throughout the world. It has been established thatapproximately 15 million people succumb to stroke each year worldwide, out of this 5 million don’t survive and another 5 million become permanently handicapped and thus put significant burden on catering families. This study was conducted to identify contribution of different risk factorsin causing ischemic stroke in our population. Study Design: Descriptive, purposive case series study. Setting: Medical Unit-IV, Nishtar Medical College/Hospital, Multan. Period: One Year tenure spread between January 2017 to December 2017. Material and Methods: 205 cases between 40-70 years of age includingboth male and female patients with ischemic stroke, irrespective of disease duration were included in study. History of raised BP, previous stroke, history of stroke in family, diabetes and smoking was recorded on pre-designed questionnaire. Body mass index was calculated after noting weight and height of the patient.Venous blood (5 ml) sample was drawn and sent to the pathology laboratory of Nishtar Hospital Multan for estimation of serum LDL level and blood glucose level. Results: Of these 205 study cases, 92 (44.9%) patients were male while 113 (55.1%) patients were female. Mean age of patients in our setting was noted to 51.58 ± 8.05 years. In our study, 50 (24.4%) patients were smokers and 40 (19.5%) had history of hypertension. In our setting, family history of stroke was present in 39 (19%) and previous history of stroke was found in 31 (15.1%). Mean body mass index of our patients was calculated to be 23.17± 2.85 kg/m2and 30(14.6%) cases were obese in our study. Mean fasting blood glucose level was 118.32 ± 23.21 mg/dl(48 (23.4%) had diabetes). Mean low density lipoprotein level (LDL) noted in our study was 109.59 ± 49.15 mg/dl and raised level of LDL was seen in 88 (42.9%) of our study cases. Conclusion: By identifying the share of various risk factors contributing in ischemic stroke, we can target population at risk of ischemic stroke and strict control and regulation of modifiable risk factors we can prevent this ominous condition to occur. Our study results point towards early diagnosis which will ultimately lead to proper management to improve clinical outcome in such patients. Raised levels of LDL were significantly associated with gender, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, family history and previous history of stroke.
HERLYN WERNER WUNDERLICH SYNDROME;
Authors: Khan Bushra
Published: February 2019

Mullerian duct anomalies are underreported because these remain unrecognized. Unfortunately our knowledge of epidemiology has not paralleled the technical advances involved in their diagnosis and management. We report a case of 13 years old girl who presented with normal menarche and progressively severe dysmenorrhea. She was diagnosed to have a pelvic mass which was initially misdiagnosed as acute appendicitis, for which appendectomy was done. Later on, it was thought to be an ovarian cyst, till the time her IVU and CT scan confirmed diagnosis of Herlyn Werner Wunderlich Syndrome. Surgical management relieved symptoms. The aim is to create awareness among clinicians to keep a high index of suspicion of mullein duct and associated anomalies in young girls.

Abstract: Two means physical processes are involved in failure of a dams structure: either a mechanical failure by sliding, or a hydraulic failure by erosion. The causes of failures are internal erosion (23 cases between 44), or external erosion (20 cases of overtopping) and 1 case of sliding. In consequence, internal erosion is the most frequent cause for all the water retaining structures. A series of test are needed to develop models that can describe the internal erosion. This research uses two kinds of tests. They are The Consodilated Drained (CD) Triaxial test and The Erodibility test with triaxial erodimetre. These two tests uses mixture between Kaolinite Proclay (25%) and Fontainebleau Sand (75%) with 9% of water content. The result shows that confinement pressure increase, time for obtained maximal deviatoric also increase. When deviatoric stress is increase, percentage of deformation is also increase. And also the volume variation of specimen is decrease in function of deformation. For the second test, the result shows after the loss of fine particles in the soil, the original dilative stress-strain behavior changes to be contractive and the peak stress is decreases. Comparing the results of Chang & Zhang in 2011, the curves rank in a coherent way for the stress-strain curve although it used different speciments.
Isogeometric Analysis of Euler-Bernoulli Beam Element
Authors: Gan Buntara Sthenly
Published: February 2019

Abstract: The Isogeometric analysis is a computational geometry based on a series of polynomial functions (Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline, NURBS) which are assembled to represent the exact geometry. In the Isogeometric analysis, the curvature geometry of the beam element can be represented exactly. The conventional beam element can be developed by using the Isogeometric approach which is based on Euler-Bernoulli principle which is under the assumption that the dimension of the beam cross section is small compared with the length of the beam. The geometric shape of the beam and the shape functions formulation of the element can be formulated by using the Isogeometric approach. This paper highlights the application of the NURBS for the Euler-Bernoulli beam element in the context of finite element analysis. Examples are given to verify the effectiveness of the Isogeometric approach in static and free vibration problems.

Published: February 2019

Along with the advancement of educational technology, the success of teaching activities in schools, especially in elementary schools, is not only determined by the teaching factors originating only from material books, but also by the utilization of information resources from the internet in enriching and expanding the source of teaching materials. The role of teachers in expanding their knowledge is considered very important to be continuously developed and improved. The utilization of the internet can encourage teachers to be more creative in developing innovations in learning materials in classroom. The flexibility of the Internet and its quickness to dynamically produce changes make the values of information and knowledge grow very quickly. It cannot be denied that besides having the positive aspects, the internet has also negative aspects. Therefore, the teachers have to be more aware of the negative and positive impacts of the internet in order to be able to well explain them to the students in the class. The available space on the internet can be also used by teachers to exchange ideas and communicate through e-mail, discussion forums, web blogs and social media. The research will then give the mapping pattern and comparison of the competence of teachers in MI Al Madarijut in using the internet media as an additional source of subject materials.

The purpose of this research is to review the teacher certification program (PPG) policy as an improvement in educational quality or merely a constellation of power. The method used is a descriptive research method with documentary analysis. The PPG program, both pre-service and in-service, contains a constellation of power. It can be seen from some notes. Firstly, there is no follow-up from the PPG program. Secondly, the results of interviews by the researchers reveal that the materials provided in this program are not different from those given at the university. Thirdly, even though PPG pre-service is aimed at improving the quality of prospective teachers based on the indicators specified in the program, why do teacher training and education universities not prepare their students to be quality teachers? if they do not do so, why they do not improve the concepts and learning in lectures at their respective universities instead of adding new programs. Fourthly, there are no similar programs in countries with quality education, such as Finland, South Korea, Japan and so on. Fifthly, the tests in the admission process only administer tests that indirectly measure the cognitive level

Published: February 2019

Understanding or comprehension is the ability of a person to fully understand something based on the situation, concept, and facts he has. Understanding is knowledge achieved through the process of understanding something. The level of understanding depends on the appropriate existing ideas and the establishment of new relationships between ideas. In mathematics, increasing understanding of concepts can be done using the PMRI learning model. Therefore, teachers must find a realistic problem related to learning materials and students’ daily life. This research aims to find out the effect of a learning model on the understanding of mathematical concepts. The research is an experimental study with samples of 60 testees. The hypothesis testing technique used is a one-way t test which consists of one independent variable, which is the learning model, and one dependent variable, which is the understanding of mathematical concepts. This research is carried out in Central Jakarta Public Senior High School, DKI Jakarta in 2015. From the research results, it can be concluded that there is an insignificant effect of a learning model on the understanding of mathematical concepts

Foredeep vs. wedge-top facies trends and hierarchical thickness distributions, Pennsylvanian Atoka Formation, Ouachita Mountains, USA
Authors: Hou Pengfei , Jobe Zane Richards , Wood Leslie
Published: February 2019

As of Feb. 5th, 2019, this study has been submitted to Marine and Petroleum Geology (Elsevier). Topographic confinement can impose significant control on depositional styles of deepwater fan deposits. Currently, there is a lack of quantitative documentation on the spatial variation of topographic confinement in segmented deepwater basins. Herein, we investigated the Pennsylvanian Lower Atoka Formation in the Ouachita Mountains, south-central the United States which is a fine-grained submarine fan system deposited on the active Ouachita Fold and Thrust Belt. The basin is divided by two distinctive depozones that are laterally confined: foredeep and wedge-top, both of which are primarily sourced from the east. We quantitatively compared the lithofacies, architectural elements, and hierarchical thickness distributions of turbidite lobe deposits among proximal foredeep, distal foredeep, proximal wedge-top, and distal wedge-top depozones. The proximal foredeep and wedge-top show identical lithofacies compositions and thickness distributions of lobe deposits. However, the foredeep shows a significant proximal-distal decrease in sand-prone deposits and thicknesses of lobe deposits, whereas the wedge-top show little to no such changes. We demonstrated that the complex topography and stronger lateral confinement in the wedge-top depozone is the dominant control for this difference. The signal of topographic confinement increases hierarchically from bed to lobe scales because these deposits tend to stack more vertically rather than switching horizontally (or compensationally) due to confinement. The results have implications for predicting hydrocarbon reservoir distribution, recognizing the degree of confinement, and refining the depositional reconstruction of analogous laterally-confined turbidite systems.

Marine Social Science for the Peopled Seas
Authors: Bennett Nathan
Published: February 2019

Coastal communities, indigenous peoples, and small-scale fishers rely on the ocean for livelihoods, for subsistence, for wellbeing and for cultural continuity. Thus, understanding the human dimensions of the world’s peopled seas and coasts is fundamental to evidence-based decision-making across marine policy realms, including marine conservation, marine spatial planning, fisheries management, the blue economy and climate adaptation. This perspective article contends that the marine social sciences must inform the pursuit of sustainable oceans. To this end, the article introduces this burgeoning field and briefly reviews the insights that social science can offer to guide ocean and coastal policy and management. The upcoming United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021–2030) provides a tremendous opportunity to build on the current interest, need for and momentum in the marine social sciences. We will be missing the boat if the marine social sciences do not form an integral and substantial part of the mandate and investments of this global ocean science for sustainability initiative.
Interpersonal Style and PTSD Symptoms in Female Victims of Dating Violence
Authors: Bernard Nicola K. , Yalch Matthew , Lannert Brittany K. , Levendosky Alytia
Published: February 2019

Symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are some of the most common mental health symptoms women experience following exposure to dating violence (DV). However, not all women who experience DV exhibit PTSD symptoms. One factor that may influence whether or not women exhibit PTSD symptoms in the aftermath of DV exposure is interpersonal style, often operationalized in terms of two orthogonal dimensions, warmth and dominance. In this study, we examined the main and moderating effects of warmth and dominance on the association between DV and PTSD symptoms using latent moderating structural equation modeling in a sample of 303 female college students who reported DV exposure in the past year. Results indicated that warmth exerted a main effect predicting fewer PTSD symptoms. In addition, dominance moderated the association between DV and PTSD symptoms such that at high levels of DV, women who were high on dominance reported fewer PTSD symptoms than did women who were low on dominance. These findings suggest that aspects of interpersonal style may promote resilience to symptoms of posttraumatic stress following DV exposure. Directions for future research are also discussed.

Regency is included in the category of underdeveloped regions and has the highest poverty rate in Banten Province. Therefore, the Regional Government of Pandeglang together with the central government has sought to develop the potential of the region with various policies, one of which is the Development of the Special Economic Zone of Tanjung Lesung. Various government policies and the needs of the community, the private sector towards residential space, pushed the northern and southern regions of Pandeglang to experience greater population density. This condition raises a new culture from the local community, namely making the residence and area adjacent to the road as a micro business. The micro business continues to be developed by the government, although it is contrary to the policy of the Pandeglang Regency RTRW.
What do we talk about when we speak of cosmological redshift?
Authors: Bengochea Gabriel R
Published: February 2019

From the first observations made by Slipher, our understanding and interpretation of the cosmological redshift was evolving until reaching the current consensus, through the expanding universe and the emergence of modern physical cosmology within the framework of General Relativity. The redshift is one of the most basic concepts of astronomy, and is one of the few observational parameters that can be measured directly. To refer to the temporal evolution of objects or cosmic structures in the universe, we often do so indistinctly through cosmic time or cosmological redshift. But repeatedly this connection ends up generating confusion not only among popular science communicators but also within the professional astronomical community. In this article, we will make a pedagogical approach to the link between cosmic time and cosmological redshift, and we will also clarify several common misunderstandings around this relation.

Published: February 2019

Purpose: The tests to estimate aerobic fitness among children require substantial space and maximum effort, which is often difficult for children. We developed a simple submaximal step test (Step Test of Endurance for Pediatrics, or STEP) and assessed its reliability, validity, and ability to estimate aerobic fitness among elementary school children. Method:Children aged 5–10 years completed the STEP with a protocol consisting of 0.1-, 0.2-, and 0.3-metre (4, 8, and 12 in.) step heights. Participants underwent treadmill testing with open circuit spirometry to determine actual maximal oxygen consumption (V̇o2max). Intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs) assessed test–retest reliability of the STEP and its component tests. Multivariate linear regression assessed the associations between the STEP and V̇o2max, adjusting for potential covariates such as age, sex, BMI, and comorbidity count. Results: The STEP showed excellent reliability (ICC ≥ 0.92; N = 170), irrespective of effort level during testing. Significant effort issues and collinearity among the independent variables led us to exclude children aged 5–6 years ( n = 45) from the regression analysis. The final regression model for children aged 7–10 years with adequate effort ( n = 111), as defined by a respiratory exchange ratio of 1.0 or more, showed that the STEP, sex, and BMI were significantly predictive of V̇o2max ( R 2 = 0.51). Conclusions: This new, effort-independent step test can estimate the aerobic fitness of children aged 7–10 years. Regression equations to estimate V̇o2max from the STEP were provided.
Adverse Birth Outcomes Associated with Types of Eating Disorders: A Review
Authors: Charbonneau Kimberly D. , Seabrook Jamie A.
Published: February 2019

At least 5% of women have an eating disorder (ED) during pregnancy. These EDs affect prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) and weight gain during pregnancy, factors associated with birth complications and adverse neonatal outcomes. This review contributes to the literature by examining several adverse birth outcomes associated with EDs and differentiates between past and present EDs. Of the 18 articles reviewed, EDs were associated with preterm birth in 5/14 (36%) and small-for-gestational-age in 5/8 (63%) studies. Anorexia Nervosa increases the odds of a low birth weight baby, particularly when women enter pregnancy with a low BMI. Binge Eating Disorder is positively associated with having a large-for-gestational-age infant, and Bulimia Nervosa is associated with miscarriage when symptomatic during pregnancy. Having a current ED increases the risk for adverse birth outcomes more than a past ED. Since the aetiology of adverse birth outcomes is multi-factorial, drawing conclusions about causal relationships between EDs and birth outcomes is problematic given the small number of studies reporting these outcomes. Resources should target preconception interventions that put EDs into remission and help women achieve a healthier BMI prior to pregnancy, as these have been consistently shown to improve birth outcomes.
Prevalence and Characteristics Associated with Modified Texture Food Use in Long Term Care: An Analysis of Making the Most of Mealtimes (M3) Project
Authors: Vucea Vanessa , Keller Heather H. , Morrison Jill M. , Duizer Lisa M. , Duncan Alison M. , Steele Catriona M.
Published: February 2019

Purpose: To describe the prevalence and characteristics of modified-texture food (MTF) consumers when applying standard diet terminology.

Methods: Making the Most of Mealtimes (M3) is a cross-sectional multi-site study including 32 long-term care (LTC) homes located in 4 Canadian provinces. Resident characteristics were collected from health records using a defined protocol and extraction form. Since homes used 67 different terms to describe MTFs, diets were recategorized using the International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative Framework as a basis for classification.

Results: MTFs were prescribed to 47% (n = 298) of participants (n = 639) and prevalence significantly differed among provinces (P < 0.0001). Various resident characteristics were significantly associated with use of MTFs: dysphagia and malnutrition risk, dementia diagnosis, prescription of oral nutritional supplements; lower body weight and calf circumference; greater need for physical assistance with eating; poor oral health status; and dependence in all activities of daily living.

Conclusions: This is the first study that used a diverse sample of LTC residents to determine prevalence of MTF use and described consumers. The prevalence of prescribed MTFs was high and diverse across provinces in Canada. Residents prescribed MTFs were more vulnerable than residents on regular texture diets. These findings add value to our understanding of MTF consumers.
Transformative Leadership
Authors: Barstow Hernandez Joan
Published: February 2019

The ideas behind the conceptual framework and eighteen capabilities of Núr University’s Transformative Leadership Program were developed in the 1990s as a Bahá’í-inspired approach to leadership that could be used in academic settings or in projects of social action involving the general public. Since then, this program has been used in approximately sixty projects or workshops in forty countries in North and South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia, generating a significant impact regardless of culture. Both the conceptual framework, which consists of six elements, and the capabilities are closely related to a method of transformative learning, which enhances the power of its focus.
Reading of Sona Farid-Arbab’s Moral Empowerment: In Quest of a Pedagogy
Authors: Filson Gerald
Published: February 2019

In setting out to determine the nature and scope of education, questions immediately arise when considering what makes education effective. Among those questions are the following: What should be the goal of education? How can we fit everything into a curriculum at a time when knowledge and information are accumulating at an unbelievable rate? And how can education address our need to learn about both the physical and the social world, different as they are? Farid-Arbab’s book, Moral Empowerment: In Quest of a Pedagogy, is an admirable effort to provide answers to such questions by starting with two even more fundamental questions: What is the nature of the human being, or learner? And what is the nature of understanding?
Anthropologists and Designers Co-Designing the Future
Authors: Korčulanin Laura , Meal Verónica Reyero
Published: February 2019

During the last weekend of October 2018, specialists
from around the world met in Lisbon for the sixth
‘Why the World Needs Anthropologists’ symposium
(WWNA). This yearly conference – which provides
a space for sharing information, experiences and
discussions regarding applied anthropology – has
gone from a one-afternoon symposium to a three-day
event with lectures, panel discussions, speed-talks,
workshops, guided tours, social events and
‘Hot-Spots’ – stands where a range of institutions,
sponsors and partners can present what they do. This
year’s conference gathered more than 300 people
from 33 countries (and more than a thousand online
visitors via live-streaming) to reflect on the possibilities
that the emergent discipline of design anthropology
brings to anthropologists and designers and
for cross-disciplinary collaborations. Significantly
named, Designing the Future was a response to what
many in the field feel is a time when the world needs
more engaged anthropologists to spark ideas and
bring out informed and well-thought-out research-based
solutions.
Preisbildung, Monopol und Spekulation beim städtischen Boden
Authors: Fassbinder Helga
Published: February 2019

Durchschnittliche Bodenpreissteigerungen von 1 000 % innerhalb von 10 Jahren in Ballungsgebieten (1); Gewinne durch Widmungsänderung von landwirtschaftlicher in städtische Nutzung des Bodens in Höhe von 50 Milliarden innerhalb von 10Jahren (2); innerstädtische Sanierungen in fast jeder größeren Stadt, die Wohngebiete in Geschäfts- und Verwaltungsareale verwandeln (3), markieren das Ausmaß an räumlichen Bewegungen in den industriell entwickelten Regionen und die Probleme, die sich in diesem Zusammenhang aus dem privaten Grundeigentum und seiner spezifischen gesellschaftlichen Einbindung und Absicherung ergeben. Die Literatur, die diese Phänomene beschreibt, ist mittlerweilen zahlreich, insbesondere die Nachrichtenpresse wartet nahezu täglich mit Spekulationsgeschichten und Skandalen, horrenden Gewinnen der Grundbesitzer (,,Jeden Morgen, wenn er aufwacht, ist Baron Finck um eine Million reicher"), Erpressungen gegenüber Gemeinden und neuerdings auch Zusammenbrüchen spekulativer Bauvorhaben auf. Eine Vielzahl von Bürgerinitiativen und Protestgruppen werden durch die Folgen von Bodenpreissteigerung und Bodenspekulation aktiviert, auch die Gewerkschaften sehen hier eines der Hauptprobleme bei der Verteuerung der Lebenshaltung und Verschlechterung der Lebensbedingungen (4).

Zur Problematik der doppelten Wirtschaftsrechnung am Beispiel der Wirtschaftsreformen in der DDR
Authors: Damus Renate
Published: February 2019

Wenn der Darstellung und kritischen Reflexion über die Entwicklung der „Wirtschaftsreformen" in der DDR Ausführungen vorangestellt werden, in denen die Vorstellungen hinsichtlich eines stärker zentralen bzw. dezentralen Modells an Handvon Bettelheim und Brus entwickelt werden, dann nicht deshalb, weil ich der Ansicht bin, daß damit bereits die entscheidende Ebene der Auseinandersetzung mit hoch entwickelten osteuropäischen Staaten angesprochen wäre. Die Ebene zentral- dezentral ( oder gar verkürzt: Plan/Markt) ist aber zumindest bis vor kurzem in mehrerer Hinsicht Ausgangspunkt kritischer Reflexionen gewesen. Auch heute läßt sich nachweisen, daß sie auch noch bei den Kritikern implizitenthalten ist, die meinen, daß in den osteuropäischen Staaten die Arbeiterklasse ihre Macht an eine herrschende Klasse verloren habe, was m.a.W. bedeutete, daß die Arbeiterklasse in diesen Staaten die Macht schon einmal in Händen gehabt hätte (und zwar solange, wie Stalin herrschte). Dieser sehr personalistischen Argumentationsweise liegt die Annahme zugrunde, daß das zentrale Wirtschaftssystem, wie es sich in der UdSSR herausgebildet hatte und als Grundmodell nach 1945 auf die ,,Volksrepubliken" übertragen wurde, im Gegensatz zu den dann geschaffenen dezentraleren Strukturen nicht mit sozialistischen Vorstellungen konfligicrt. Zentrale Planung wird in dieser Argumentation sakrosankt, sie wird mit gesamtgesellschaftlich für diese Staaten weitgehend gleichgesetzt.
Halbheiten in der Überwindung des Leninismus
Authors: Rabehl B. , Spohn W. , Wolter U.
Published: February 2019

Es ist kein Zufall, daß die ausführliche Leninkritik des PKA: ,,Leninismus - neue Stufe des wissenschaftlichen Sozialismus? Zum Verhältnis von Marxscher Theorie, Klassenanalyse und revolutionärer Taktik bei W. I. Lenin, Westberlin 1972" in der bisher spärlichen Lenindiskussion der westdeutschen sozialistischen Opposition fast völlig ignoriert wurde. Dies liegt bestimmt nicht nur an der rein äußerlich durch den Umfang und die vielen Wiederholungen hervorgerufenen mühseligen Lesbarkeit des Buches, sondern hat seinen eigentlichen Grund in der eigentümlichen politischen Stoßrichtung der Argumentation. Nachdem das PKA die DKP zur „distinkten Arbeiterpartei" erhoben und alle linkskommunistische Kritik am Leninismus als sektiererisch verworfen hat, wird nun doch auf Basis der Marxschen Theorie eine systematische und grundsätzliche Kritik an Lenin, dem Idol des Marxismus-Leninismus, eingeschlossen der DKP, geführt. Dabei kommt das PKA nicht umhin, richtige Elemente der linkskommunistischen, luxemburgianischen, trotzkistischen etc. Positionen aufzunehmen, ohne sie natürlich als solche zu kennzeichnen. Doch bleibt auch die Kritik an Lenin eigentümlich ambivalent: einerseits gelingt es dem PKA in vielen entscheidenden Punkten theoretische und taktische Verkürzungen der Marxsehen Theorie von Lenin nachzuweisen, andererseits wird Lenin nichtsdestoweniger als revolutionäres Vorbild gepriesen. Das PKA gebärdet sich so gleichsam als Wolf im Schafspelz, der aber lieber Schaf als Wolf sein will. Diese Haltung erlaubt es aber der DKP, nach ihrem Belieben die Diskussion mit dem PKA zu führen oder eben auch nicht zu führen, und macht es der nicht an die DKP gebundenen sozialistischen Opposition, die selbst in vielen leninistischen Dogmatisierungen steckt, leicht, das PKA als literarische Repräsentanten der DKP abzutun.
