Authors: Akhmadeev R. G.
Published: October 2019

Statistics on the amount of individual entrepreneur (registered and stopping one’s financial-economic activity) have been investigated. Systematization of scientific – practical methods for formation of the concept “optimum taxing load” has been carried out. In order to equalize the tax burden for individual entrepreneurs, applying both the general tax regime and a special one in the form of a simplified tax system, it has been offered to harmonize the definition of the object of the insurance premiums taxation with the current single tax when choosing the object of taxation “income, after deduction of expenses incurred”. Since the fixed payment in terms of payment of insurance premiums is payable regardless of the actual conduct of its own business for the calendar year, this proposal will allow us proportionately fulfill tax obligations to the budget.

Single embryos were exposed to the beta blocker propranolol for 120 hpf in 96 well plates, during which apical endpoints were determined through microscopy. The water was then removed and analyzed for its exposure concentration and the embryos were frozen on dry ice. The embryos were then extracted within plates and injected directly from the plates using three different LC-MS methods: Flow-injection lipidomics, C18-Orbitrap and HILIC-Orbitrap. Reproducibility was evaluated using non-exposed embryos from four different 96 well plates incubated a year later than the first exposure plate.
Heterologous Production of Lasso Peptide Capistruin in a Burkholderia Host
Authors: Kunakom Sylvia , Eustaquio Alessandra
Published: October 2019

Burkholderia bacteria are an emerging source of natural products with applications in agriculture and medicine. Heterologous expression of biosynthetic gene clusters can streamline natural product discovery. However, production yields with the commonly used Escherichia coli host are usually low. Following the current paradigm that one host does not fit all, we aim to develop a Burkholderia host in order to ultimately tap into the biosynthetic potential of Burkholderia genomes, which can contain up to 27 biosynthetic gene clusters per genome. Because close phylogenetic relationship is expected to improve odds of success due to compatible gene expression and precursor supply, we tested Burkholderia sp. FERM BP-3421, a non-pathogenic isolate previously used to produce natural products at industrial scale. We show here that FERM BP-3421 can produce the model lasso peptide capistruin in yields that are at least 65-fold, and up to 580-fold higher than the previously used E. coli host.

Published: October 2019

Herein, we report the successful discovery of a new hierarchical structure of metal-organic nanocapsules (MONCs) by integrating chemical intuition and machine learning algorithms. By training datasets from a set of both succeeded and failed experiments, we studied the crystallization propensity of metal-organic nanocapsules (MONCs). Among four machine learning models, XGB model affords the highest prediction accuracy of 91%. The derived chemical feature scores and chemical hypothesis from the XGB model assist to identify proper synthesis parameters showing superior performance to a well-trained chemist. This paper will shed light on the discovery of new crystalline inorganic-organic hybrid materials guided by machine learning algorithms.
Chiral-Induced Spin Selectivity: A Symmetry Analysis of Electronic Transmission
Authors: Zöllner Martin Sebastian , Varela Solmar , Medina Ernesto , Mujica Vladimiro , Herrmann Carmen
Published: October 2019

The chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect, which describes the spin-filtering ability of diamagnetic structures like DNA or peptides having chiral symmetry, has emerged in the past years as the central mechanism behind a number of important phenomena, like long-range biological electron transfer, enantiospecific electrocatalysis, and molecular recognition. Also, CISS-induced spin polarization has a considerable promise for new spintronic devices and the design of quantum materials. The CISS effect is attributed to spin–orbit coupling, but a sound theoretical understanding of the surprising magnitude of this effect in molecules without heavy atoms is currently lacking. We are taking an essential step into this direction by analyzing the importance of imaginary terms in the Hamiltonian as a necessary condition for non-vanishing spin polarization in helical structures. Based on first-principles calculations and analytical considerations, we perform a symmetry analysis of the key quantities determining transport probabilities of electrons of different spin orientations. These imaginary terms originate from the spin–orbit coupling, and they preserve the Hermitian nature of the Hamiltonian. Hence, they are not related to the breaking of time-reversal symmetry resulting from the fact that molecules are open systems in a junction. Our symmetry analysis helps to identify essential constraints in the theoretical description of the CISS effect. We further draw an analogy with the appearance of imaginary terms in simple models of barrier scattering, which may help understanding the unusually effective long-range electron transfer in biological systems.
Assessment of the application feasibility of the genetic algorithm for airports operations optimization based on the collaborative decision-making principles
Authors: Lebedev G. M. , Malygin V. B.
Published: October 2019

The article proposes a formalization methodology of the basic characteristics of the production processes of the aviation industry major components, such as airlines, airports and air traffic control authorities. This technique is not exhaustive, but it is quite suitable as the basis for the formation of the initial data for decision-making optimization under the conditions of airport operations performance and air traffic management, based on the principles of work coordination of the airports operational units. It is proposed to use a genetic algorithm as a tool for optimizing collaborative decision-making, which allows for a smaller number of iterations in real time to obtain a suboptimal solution that meets the requirements of the process participants. The mathematical model in multiplicative form is presented in making an assessment of the application feasibility of the genetic algorithm, taking into account the interests of three stakeholders. Planning the use of aircraft for the airport flight schedule based on the formalized data of the airline fleet, the capabilities of the base airport apron, as well as the restrictions of permanent and temporary nature is accepted as the original product. The article demonstrates the potential advantage of the genetic algorithm, the point of which is that within each step of a suboptimal choice of priorities instead of brute-force options limited but effective direct search of a reduced number of those options that have been chosen as the "elite" by using multiplicative form is carried out.

The eating of fresh and minimally processed vegetables is getting popular among
Malaysians. This trend poses an increased risk of food poisoning associated with the
consumption of fresh produce contaminated with pathogenic bacteria. Salmonellosis is a
foodborne disease caused by several non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica serovars,
predominantly serovars Enteritidis and Typhimurium. The present study aimed to
determine the prevalence of Salmonella spp., S. enterica serovar Enteritidis and S.
enterica serovar Typhimurium in fresh leafy vegetables such as cabbages (n = 40),
lettuces (n = 20), and fruit vegetables such as tomatoes (n = 40), carrots (n = 40) and
cucumbers (n = 40), which were sold by three different hypermarkets and a wet market in
Kampar, Perak, Malaysia. The study was performed over a period of 13 months (January
2018 to January 2019). A combination of most probable number-multiplex polymerase
chain reaction (MPN-mPCR) method was used to quantify the concentrations of
Salmonella spp., S. enterica serovar Enteritidis and S. enterica serovar Typhimurium in
the examined samples. The results of this study demonstrated that of the vegetables tested,
tomatoes, carrots and lettuces were not contaminated by Salmonella spp., S. enterica
serovar Enteritidis and S. enterica serovar Typhimurium. However, the presence of
Salmonella spp. was detected in 3.3% of cabbages from the hypermarket, with estimated
microbial loads ranging from <3.0 MPN/g to 15.0 MPN/g. On the other hand, S. enterica
serovar Typhimurium was detected in 10.0% of the cucumbers from hypermarkets and
20% of them from the wet market. Their microbial loads were ranging from <3.0 MPN/g
to >1,100 MPN/g. This indicated that cabbages and cucumbers could be the potential
sources of salmonellosis. Therefore, the monitoring of food safety and hygienic practices
should be strictly enforced by relevant government agencies to avoid potential poisoning
by foodborne pathogens.

Internalization of Moderate Islamic Values in Education
Authors: Kamal Rahmat
Published: October 2019

This present study aims to investigate the essence and values of moderate Islam and internalize them in the process of education. The research findings are expected to be able to contribute a wide range of knowledge as one of alternatives to prevent and overcome symptoms of extreme and radical actions in students’ religious activities. It was a qualitative descriptive study by employing library research. This study highlights the imbalance between the concept of Islamic teachings demonstrating moderate values and the actions eroding the moderate Islamic values. Education plays a pivotal role to bring the image of peaceful Islam back by internalizing the moderate Islamic values in the process of education. The results reveal that (1) moderate Islam refers to a form of Islam that emphasizes the values of moderation between the ‘left-wing extremist group’ (liberal group) and the ‘right-wing extremist group’ (fundamental group) in implementing Islamic teachings; (2) moderate Islamic values include the values of tolerance in showing attitudes, the value of tolerance in respecting diversity, the value of inclusiveness in accepting something new with lots of strengths, the value of logic and flexibility in understanding texts, the value of relevance in interpreting texts by deeming their contexts, the value of innovation in solving problems that the answers have not been stated in the texts yet, and the value of social transformation; (3) the process of internalization covers three stages, namely: the stages of value transformation, value transaction, and trans-internalization. The first stage copes with the process that is carried out by teachers in informing the values of moderation conceptualized in Islamic teachings. The next stage promotes that the values of moderation are interactively communicated between teacher and students. The last stage suggests that familiarizing behavior and actions that represent the moderate Islamic values is performed through not only verbal communication, but also mentality and personality.

Islamic Boarding School or generally called Pondok Pesantren (Ponpes) is a community-based educational institution of Islamic religious education that organizes an integrated religious education with other types of education. Ponpes must be able to compete with other general educational institutions by conducting a management. In 2018, Indonesian government issued the accounting guidelines of Ponpes which mainly aimed at empowering economic of Ponpes in order to be able to prepare financial statements. The public volunteers of Economics Faculty of UNNES conducted services at Ponpes Aswaja (Semarang) which had not yet had good financial management. The recording of financial data such as santri’s tuition fee was still manual and the payment recapitulation still used folio books untidily. Consequently, it is difficult to find if the recapitulation is required for accountability. Therefore, it is necessary an integrated financial management system of Ponpes in order to record the financial data properly. The system can also facilitate Ponpes to carry out financial transparency and accountability in accordance with financial accounting standards. The voluntary activities focused on the understanding of Aswaja Ponpes administrators regarding accounting and financial management based on information technology called Sistem Manajemen Keuangan Pondok (Sikepo). The activities were implemented by training and mentoring of administrators based on Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA). Ponpes administrators were enthusiastic about Sikepo training. Sikepo could improve the understanding of accounting and financial management of Ponpes administrators. Furthermore, the system was then used to record every financial transaction in Ponpes. The final of financial statements were the recapitulation of student tuition fee, the use of funds for daily needs, and other activity reports. This system can also be used in all Ponpes over Indonesia.
Patient-Specific “Safe Zones” Reduce the Rate of Dislocation after Total Hip Arthroplasty
Authors: Vigdorchik Jonathan , Cizmic Zlatan , Novikov David , Bradley Michael , Miranda Michael , Watson David , Dennis Douglas , Kreuzer Stefan
Published: October 2019

INTRODUCTION: Most dislocations have been shown to occur within Lewinnek’s proposed safe zone (LSZ) for cup inclination (40°±10°) and anteversion (15°±10°). Using a functional and dynamic simulation that accounts for individual patient anatomy and variations in pelvic tilt, we created a patient-specific target orientation for the acetabular cup. The purposes of this study were to: (1) compare pre-operative acetabular cup parameters using this novel dynamic imaging sequence to the LSZ, and (2) describe rates of dislocation in patients whose pre-operative acetabular cup parameters were determined using dynamic imaging sequences.

METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 1,500 consecutive, primary THAs that underwent dynamic sitting and standing pre-operative acetabular cup planning. Using these inputs, we modeled an optimal cup position for each patient. Inclination, anteversion, pelvic tilt, pelvic incidence, lumbar flexion angles, and rates of dislocation were analyzed.

RESULTS: Mean age of patients was 63 years. Mean pelvic tilt was 4.7o when supine, -0.3o when standing, and -0.7o when flex-seated. Mean pelvic incidence was 54o and mean lumbar flexion was 43o. Mean inclination was 40° and mean anteversion was 24°. Only 56% of the dynamically planned cups were within the LSZ (p<0.05). Mean inclination and anteversion difference between dynamic and LSZ was 1.3o and 8.9o, respectively. Only 0.5% of dynamically planned cups dislocated post-operatively, all were within LSZ.

DISCUSSION: Acetabular cup positioning in patient-specific safe zones reduces the rate of dislocation after THA. Historical target parameters for cup inclination and anteversion significantly differ to target values obtained with the use of functional imaging.
Reliability of pelvic parameters measurement with sterEOS: preliminary results
Authors: Guezou-Philippe Aziliz , Dardenne Guillaume , Dorniol Morgane , Letissier Hoel , Lefèvre Christian , Stindel Eric
Published: October 2019

SterEOS is a software developed by EOS Imaging® allowing the measurement of 3D orthopaedic parameters on two bi-planar radiographs. The goal of this preliminary study was to assess the reliability of the pelvic measurements. Two observers, a novice and an intermediate user, measured three times these parameters on pre and postoperative EOS images coming from ten patients. Intra- and inter-observer precision have been evaluated with intra-class coefficient (ICC) and Bland-Altman graphs. On preoperative EOS images, a high intra- and inter-observer precision (ICC>0.8) was obtained for the measurement of the femoral head diameter, the femur length, the pelvic version and the pelvic obliquity. The offset, the femoral neck length, the pelvic incidence and the sacral slope measurement had a high intra-observer precision but a lower inter-observer precision. The measurement of the acetabulum inclination and anteversion, the CCD angle, the femur torsion, the pelvic rotation and the anterior pelvic plane inclination had a low intra- and inter-observer precision. Similar results were found on postoperative EOS images. Our results are partially consistent with the literature since authors found high intra- and inter-observer precision for all pelvic parameters. Further studies are therefore needed to evaluate the impact of the observer experience on the reliability of those measurements.
Neuromonitoring to avoid euthanasia in a quadriplegic patient
Authors: Vermeersch Geert
Published: October 2019

Background: Under very limited circumstances euthanasia can be performed in Belgium since 2002 (Verwilghen, 2012). If a patient has medical condition with no hope on improvement, with physical and/or psychological suffering, he can ask for terminating his life. The written demand is on voluntary bases, well considered, repeated and was not induced due to external pressure from other people. Neuromonitoring has been used in spine surgery during the last four decades. (Lall, et al., 2012) (Gonzales, Jeyanandarajan, Hansen, Zada, & Hsieh, 2009) With the development of new modalities, new applications were introduced in spine surgery in order to avoid neurological damage during surgical procedures.

Method: A patient with a partial recovered ASIA A C7 quadriplegia suffering from wounds caused by his spinal instrumentation had intraoperative neuromonitoring. In case he became dependent for his personal care, he wanted to have euthanasia executed on him.

Conclusion: So far there is no literature on the use of neuromonitoring to avoid euthanasia in cases where spinal surgery is needed, but surgery has an inherent risk of causing damage to nerval structures, which can cause loss of recovered nerve function after spinal cord injury. This potential loss of independence was an unbearable physical and psychological suffering the patient would not want to go through again. By using neuromonitoring, the key muscles were observed during the surgery. No neurological events were seen during the prodecure. He had some general weakness after the surgery but kept his autonomy, so no euthanasia was needed.

Published: October 2019

Computer-assisted navigation has the potential to improve the accuracy of cup positioning during total hip arthroplasty (THA) and prevent leg length discrepancy (LLD). The purpose of this study was to compare acetabular cup position and post- operative LLD after primary THA using posterolateral approach. Between August 2016 to December 2017, 57 THAs using imageless navigation were matched with 57 THA without navigation, based on age, gender and BMI. Post-operative weight-bearing radiographs were assessed using for anteversion, inclination and LLD. Goal for functional cup placement was 40° inclination and 20° anteversion based on preoperative weight bearing pelvic images. Functional LLD was measured as compared to pre- operative radiographs and contralateral side. Proportion of cups within Lewinnek’s safe zone, proximity to a pre-operative target of and the LLD >5 mm was assessed. The mean age was 54.9 ± 9.6 years (30 – 72) and 57.6 ± 12.5 years (20 – 85) in control and navigated groups, respectively. Mean cup orientation in the navigated group was 20.6°± 3.3° (17 - 25) of anteversion and 41.9°± 4.8° (30 - 51) of inclination, vs. 25.0°± 11.1° (10 - 31) and 45.7°± 8.7° (29 – 55) in control group, where were statistically significant (p=0.005 and p=0.0001), respectively. In the navigated group, significantly more acetabular cups were placed within Lewinnek’s safe zone (anteversion: 78% vs. 47%, p=0.005; inclination: 92% vs. 67%, p=0.002). There was no significant difference in mean LLD in navigation and control groups (3.1 ± 1.5 mm vs. 4.6 ± 3.4 mm, p=0.36), although fewer LLDs >5 mm were reported in the navigated group (7.1%) than in controls (31.4%, p=0.007). The use of this image-less computer-assisted navigation improved the accuracy with which acetabular cup components were placed and may represent an important method for limiting post-operative complications related to cup malpositioning and LLD.

BACKGROUND: The typical goal of TKA is to obtain a neutral mechanical axis of the leg. The NAVIO® Surgical System (Smith & Nephew, Pittsburgh, PA, USA) is aimed at reducing technical errors and outliers. The aim of this study is to assess the surgeons’ learning curve and limb alignment in TKA.

METHODS:

The first sixty-nine patients who underwent TKA with the NAVIO system by two experienced surgeons were included in this study. Pre- and postoperative mechanical limb alignment and balancing was measured by the NAVIO system. Registration time, planning time and cutting time was monitored preoperatively by the NAVIO™ system. All data was analyzed retrospectively.

RESULTS:

The mean preoperative mechanical limb alignment was 3.18° varus (SD 4.28°, range 15.08° varus to 4.30° of valgus). The mean intraoperative planned angle was 0.59° varus (SD 0.97°, range 2.50° varus to 0.99° valgus). The mean postoperative alignment was 1.17° varus (SD 1.78°, range 4.52° varus to 4.33° valgus. The mean extra surgical time (EST) for registration and planning decreased from 23.4min (SD 3.7min) to 13.2min (SD 2.0) throughout the learning curve with a range of 10min05sec to 28min19sec.CONCLUSION: The NAVIO robotic system is a valuable tool in assisting total knee arthroplasty. It allows the surgeon to accurately determine optimal implant position for each patient and minimize statistical outliers in alignment.
Development and validation of image-based subject-specific skeletal models of spinal deformity patients for use in motion analysis

Published: October 2019

Conventional radiographic analysis in spinal deformity only quantifies the static skeletal body structure and no conclusions can be drawn with respect to functional abilities. The aim of this work was to introduce subject-specific, skeletal full spine multi- body models in a spinal deformity population for quantifying their full dynamic function. To accomplish this, the creation of a subject-specific model as well as its use with optical motion capture was validated.

As such, this work puts within reach the extension of the current state-of-the-art clinical management from static based concepts with concepts that integrate dynamic functional data.

In a prospective, non-randomized trial, 222 hips across seven centers received the same THA system of a tapered wedge stem and novel additively manufactured titanium porous clusterhole acetabular shell in primary THA. 113 hips were implanted with a robotic-assisted surgical system while 109 hips were implanted manually. The robotic-assisted cohort yielded a similar mean skin-to-skin surgical time of 80.35 minutes compared to 79.35 minutes for the manual cohort (p=0.8895), along with a shorter hospital stay of 0.96 days compared to 1.59 days (p<0.0001). The robotic-assisted cohort resulted in a lower blood loss of 199.8 cc compared to 310.1 cc for the manual cohort (p<0.0001). Standard deviation for incision length was 81% of the value in robotic-assisted cases when comparing with manual cases (2.2 cm vs. 2.7cm). Robotic-assisted THA cases demonstrated improved clinical outcomes with a higher 6-week postoperative HHS (81.0 vs. 78.4), physical VR-12 (39.5 vs. 35.9), and LEAS (9.2 vs. 8.0). The EQ-5D treatment effect size at 6-weeks postoperative for robotic-assisted cases exceeded a large effect with a value of 0.91, while the effect size for manual cases was 0.59. Robotic-assisted 3-D patient specific planning and haptically guided robotic-assisted surgical execution demonstrated an improved operative experience relative to blood loss, and incision length. The robotic cohort also yielded improved early clinical and functional outcomes when comparted to manual techniques at six weeks. These early, enhanced robotic-assisted THA results support surgeons using robotics with the goals of decreased patient pain, greater range of motion, and increased joint stability.
Spontaneous Healing of Brown-Sequard Syndrome Caused by Cervical Disc Herniation

Brown-Sequard syndrome (BSS) is most commonly seen in patients with spinal trauma and extramedullary spinal neoplasm. Pure BSS caused by cervical disc herniation is extremely rare. Operative treatment is generally recommended those patients with BSS to improve neurological function. Here, we report a rare case of spontaneous healing of BSS caused by cervical disc herniation. Two years follow-up showed complete disappearance of symptoms without recurrence. To our knowledge, no similar cases have been reported before. Therefore, for appropriate patients, conservative treatment can be considered for a few months before deciding on surgical treatment.

Authors: Jenny Jean-Yves , Saragaglia Dominique
Published: October 2019

The survival rate of navigation-assisted total knee arthroplasty when mechanical revision was considered as the end-point was 98% after 10 years and 96% after 15 years. These figures compare favorably with previously published literature about conventional implantation. Longer follow-up is required to prove superiority of any technique.

Published: October 2019

During the last few years, total knee arthroplasty has evolved from basic surgery to restore basic function, to a fast-track procedure to relief pain and get the patients back to a high level of activity.. However, the way physiotherapy is performed, remained the same. This paper presents the results of 185 patients that used a mobile health application to track their recovery. Adherence and clinical results were evaluated and reported. Our study demonstrated an excellent patient acceptance and compliance of the outpatient autonomous recovery app. Patient satisfaction was outstanding, and functional recovery was securely within conventional range.
Femoral Trochlear Groove Recreation Following TKA Correlates with Improved Patient Reported Outcome

Published: October 2019

Femoral component recreation of the trochlear groove is a major factor in determining post-operative patello-femoral tracking. Significant variation arises in recreation of the trochlear groove when a standardised implant design is applied to variable patient anatomy and alignment. However, the impact of variation on patient outcome is not well understood. This study sought to understand whether the accuracy of recreation of the trochlear groove drives patient outcome following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). 430 TKA patients were analysed; patients had pre- and post-operative CT scans and postoperative Knee Injury & Osteoarthritis Outcome (KOOS) scores at 6 months post- surgery. Based on the pre- and post-operative CT scans, femoral trochlear groove positioning and the post-surgery “build-up” of the medial and lateral apex either side of the groove were modeled and measured. Correlations between changes to this native morphology and KOOS scores were statistically tested. Patients who had increased implant build-up on the trochlear lateral apex had a worse outcome (correlation with KOOS Pain score: r = -0.2, p = 0.03), and this was found to be driven by impairment when straightening and pain when bending. The results suggest that reducing the proximal lateral apex of the trochlear groove post-implantation leads to improved patient outcomes when straightening the knee, with implications for both implant design and target component placement.
