User Participation in Coproduction of Health Innovation: Proposal for a Synergy Project (Preprint)
Authors: Nygren Jens , Zukauskaite Elena , Westberg Niklas
Published: November 2017

BACKGROUND

This project concerns advancing knowledge, methods, and logic for user participation in coproduction of health innovations. Such advancement is vital for several reasons. From a user perspective, participation in coproduction provides an opportunity to gain real influence over goal definition, design, and implementation of health innovations, ensuring that the solution developed solves real problems in right ways. From a societal perspective, it’s a mean to improve the efficiency of health care and the implementation of the Patient Act. As for industry, frameworks and knowledge of coproduction offer tools to operate in a complex sector, with great potential for innovation of services and products.

OBJECTIVE

The fundamental objective of this project is to advance knowledge and methods of how user participation in the coproduction of health innovations can be applied in order to benefit users, industry, and public sector.

METHODS

This project is a synergy project, which means that the objective will be accomplished through collaboration and meta-analysis between three subprojects that address different user groups, apply different strategies to promote human health, and relate to different parts of the health sector. Furthermore, subprojects focus on distinctive stages in the spectrum of innovation, with the objective to generate knowledge of the innovation process as a whole. The project is organized around three work packages related to three challenges—coproduction, positioning, and realization. Each subproject is designed such that it has its own field of study with clearly identified objectives but also targets work packages to contribute to the project as a whole. The work on the work packages will use case methodology for data collection and analysis based on the subprojects as data sources. More concretely, logic of multiple case studies will be applied with each subproject representing a separate case which is similar to each other in its attention to user participation in coproduction, but different regarding, for example, context and target groups. At the synergy level, the framework methodology will be used to handle and analyze the vast amount of information generated within the subprojects.

RESULTS

The project period is from July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2022.

CONCLUSIONS

By addressing the objective of this project, we will create new knowledge on how to manage challenges to health innovation associated with the coproduction process, the positioning of solutions, and realization.
Prolonged Co-Generational Living: The Case of Israeli Arab Parents and Their Emerging Adult Children
Authors: Dor Asnat
Published: November 2017

Parents’ feelings and attitudes toward Prolonged co-generational living—emerging adult children (young adults in their mid-late twenties or more) living at their parents’ home, are the topic of this qualitative study. The research population included 14 Israeli Arab parents (seven mothers, seven fathers, from different families) who have at least one child age 21-30 living with them. Findings from the semi-structured, open interviews indicated that Arab parents highly valued family reputation and expected their children to respect social norms, including leaving home only upon marriage. At the same time, parents themselves support marriage at a later age than traditionally accepted. This blend of new and old is discussed in relation to the Arab society in Israel, which shows a gradual openness to modernization while maintaining traditional values and culture.

Published: November 2017

Case of business portfolio for self financing ofÂ  Indonesia Research Institute for Tea and Cinchona is very interesting to study. In general, the research institute of tea in tea producing countries in the world receive finanÂ­cing from the funds cess or levy or Government Budget. In PPTK, is a very rare case because the status of PPTK is a corporate. The unit of research and development as a cost center to produce innovations to increase the compeÂ­titiveness of national commodity tea as well as Cinchona, should be financed from the portfolio business unit. Therefore, portfolio business strategies are needed in order to play optimally the role ofÂ  PPTK accordance with its mandate. The method used to determine the position of corporate is SWOT analysis especiallyÂ  method to the value ofÂ  IFE and EFE. Furthermore, to determine the position and strategize potfolio business units use Boston Consulting Group (BCG) matrix. The results showed that the value of its IFE and EFE (-0.14; 0.11) is in quadrant II thatÂ  position of stability/ratioÂ­nalization, which led to the Selective MainÂ­tenance Strategy. BCG matrix of the mapping results, the majority of the business portfolio in PPTK be in the Quetion Mark. One business unit shoul be divested is Stevia estate due to its position of the Dog business group. Meanwhile, the business unit ofÂ  Cash Cow group are unit of garden and black tea factory and tea experiment garden of Simalungun. In order to better self financing of PPTK, several business units in the group of Question Mark with specific strategies should be push to move into the star groups, namely (1) unit of superior plant material production of tea and cinchona; (2) unit of garden and green tea factory; (3) laboratory services and expertise; and (4) unit of production of white tea and tea packaging.

Published: November 2017

Transparent soap was made using high quality materials that beneficial for skin health and beauty. The main ingredient of the transparent soap was virgin coconut oil (VCO), with the addition of white tea extract which was able to increase the benefits of transparent soap. This study aimed to create formulation of the transparent soap, to find the addition of the white tea extracts to produce transparent soap and to study the characteristics of the transparent soap after the addition of white tea extracts. The treatments in this study were the addition of white tea extracts A = 0% (w / w), B = 0.5% (w / w, C = 1.0% (w / w and D = 1.5% (w / w). Observations on the transparent soap were including chemical properties, physical properties of soap, antibacterial and organoleptic test. The results of the analysis showed that all transparent soap formulas met the requirements of solid soap SNI 06-3532-1994, except for the total fatty acid. The formula of transparent soap with treatment B (addition of white tea extract 0.5% w / v) was the best product with organoleptic test results reached 43.34%. The analysis results of those soap were 11.47% of water content and evaporating substances, 37.97% of total fatty acid, 0.519% of free fatty acid, 2.24% of unsaponified fraction, pH value of 9, hardness 0.0077 mm/g/sec, the foam stability of 76.88% and the activity of antibacterial inhibition diameter of 10.7 mm, respectively. This technology could be applied in the production of transparent soap with the addition of white tea extract and to be developed into some industrial scale.
Human now versus human over time. When instrumental rationality and utility are not enough
Authors: Ostapiuk Aleksander
Published: November 2017

The goal of this article is to show that instrumental rationality and utility that have been used in economics for many years does not work well. What is presented in the article is how significant the influence of utilitarianism has been on economics and why the economists get rid of humans? goals and motivations. It is shown in the article that the human who decides in present is absolutely different from the human who decides over time. Many economists neglected this problem because they wanted to have an effective and simple model. Becker?s economic method is presented as a dead end to which economics has been brought to. It is impossible to connect different selves of one human being by using the utility measure. The works of Schelling and Mill are used to explain this impossibility. The conclusion of this article is that instrumental rationality and utility have affected economics significantly. But, this simplified view on human nature is no longer valid. Hence, economics needs to think not only about the means but also about the human goals. Economics needs to rebuff relativism and show people how to achieve well-being. If we want to help people with their self-governance, we will have to choose reason over emotions.
Ut vis sic tensio

Published: November 2017

The mechanical properties of rubber-like materials have been offering an outstanding challenge to the solid mechanics community for a long time. The behaviour of such materials is quite difficult to predict because rubber self-organizes into mesoscopic physical structures that play a prominent role in determining their complex, history-dependent and strongly nonlinear response. In this framework one of the main problems is to find a functional form of the elastic strain-energy that best describes the experimental data in a mathematical feasible way. The aim of this paper is to give a survey of recent advances aimed at solving such a problem.
Effect of incisal loading during orthodontic treatment in adults: A randomized control trial
Authors: Puttaravuttiporn Pornputthi , Wongsuwanlert Mutita , Charoemratrote Chairat , Lindauer Steven J. , Leethanakul Chidchanok
Published: November 2017

Objective:

To measure the changes in tooth mobility, alveolar bone, and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL)/osteoprotegerin (OPG) in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) during orthodontic treatment to regain incisal function in the presence and absence of biting exercises.

Materials and Methods:

Thirty-six females (42.3 ± 6.5 years old) with periodontally compromised upper incisors received orthodontic treatment to obtain ideal incisor relationships. Eighteen subjects in the experimental biting exercise group were instructed to bite a soft plastic roll for 5 min/d; the 18 control subjects were not given plastic rolls. Alveolar bone thickness, height, and density around the upper incisors were assessed at three root levels using cone-beam computed tomography. GCF was collected at the labial and palatal sites of the upper incisors at pretreatment (T0), end of treatment (T1), 1 month after T1 (T2), and 7 months after T1 (T3). RANKL/OPG was determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.

Results:

Labial and palatal bone thickness significantly increased (>twofold) from T1 to T3 in the experimental group at all three root levels (all P < .05). Bone thickness correlated negatively with RANKL/OPG ratio between T1 and T2 (P < .05). Tooth mobility, bone height, and density were not significantly different between T1 and T3.

Conclusions:

Biting exercises significantly increased bone thickness but did not affect tooth mobility, bone height, or density. The RANKL/OPG ratio decreased 1 month after treatment (T2) and correlated with increased bone thickness. (ClinicalTrials.in.th TCTR20170625001).

Les abus occasionnels d'alcool en lien avec le rendement scolaire, l’investissement dans les études et les aspirations et attentes en matière de scolarité : une étude longitudinale chez les élèves du secondaire ayant participé à l’étude COMPASS
Authors: Patte Karen A. , Qian Wei , Leatherdale Scott T.
Published: November 2017

Introduction

Les liens longitudinaux entre la pratique de l'abus occasionnel d'alcool et
l’investissement dans les études, le rendement scolaire et les aspirations et attentes en
matière de scolarité ont été examinés au sein d'une cohorte d’élèves du secondaire.

Méthodologie

Des données appariées tirées de l’année 1 (A1 : 2012-2013), l’année 2 (A2 :
2013-2014) et l’année 3 (A3 : 2014-2015) de l’étude COMPASS (N = 27 112) ont été utilisées
dans différents modèles à équation d’estimation généralisée (EEG) multinomiaux
pour vérifier la probabilité relative des réponses à sept indices liés aux études chez les
élèves commençant à s’adonner aux abus occasionnels d'alcool à différentes fréquences,
après ajustement en fonction du sexe, du niveau scolaire, de l’origine ethnique et de
l’usage du tabac, ainsi que de la moyenne individuelle du prédicteur et de toutes les covariables
évoluant dans le temps.

Résultats

Parmi les élèves qui n'avaient jamais abusé occasionnellement d'alcool au
départ, ceux qui ont dit s’adonner régulièrement à ces abus par la suite étaient relativement
moins susceptibles de faire leurs devoirs, d’assister à leurs cours et de valoriser les
notes élevées et d’en obtenir, des abus occasionnels d'alcool plus fréquents conduisant
généralement à des risques relatifs plus élevés. Les élèves qui avaient dit ne jamais
s’adonner aux abus occasionnels d'alcool au départ et qui ont déclaré le faire « rarement
ou de manière sporadique » un an ou deux ans plus tard étaient, curieusement,
plus susceptibles de vouloir poursuivre des études postsecondaires. Ceux qui ont
déclaré avoir commencé à s’adonner aux abus occasionnels d'alcool « une fois par
mois » aspiraient également davantage à obtenir un diplôme collégial ou un diplôme de
premier cycle universitaire qu’un diplôme d’études secondaires, mais n'aspiraient pas
plus à un diplôme de deuxième cycle universitaire ou plus. Aucune aspiration n'a été
associée à ceux qui ont déclaré avoir commencé à s’adonner « toutes les semaines » aux
abus occasionnels d'alcool.

Conclusion

D'après nos résultats, les élèves qui commencent à s’adonner aux abus
occasionnels d'alcool ont un faible rendement scolaire et s’investissent peu dans leurs
études, ce qui peut nuire à l’atteinte de leurs objectifs scolaires. Cette étude vient rappeler
à quel point la prévention de la consommation de substances doit être considérée comme
une priorité en matière d’éducation, puisque les efforts faits dans ce sens pourraient également
favoriser la réussite scolaire.
Élaboration de critères définissant les pratiques prometteuses en promotion de la santé et en prévention des maladies pour le Portail canadien des pratiques exemplaires
Authors: Fazal Nadia , Jackson Suzanne F. , Wong Katy , Yessis Jennifer , Jetha Nina
Published: November 2017

Introduction

Dans le domaine de la promotion de la santé et de la prévention des maladies
chroniques, tant les pratiques exemplaires que les pratiques prometteuses peuvent
fournir des renseignements cruciaux sur les interventions qui améliorent les résultats sur
la santé des individus et des collectivités, notamment leur mode d’action et les raisons de
leur efficacité dans différents contextes.

Méthodologie

Nous avons établi des critères de définition des pratiques prometteuses
sur la base des critères de l’Agence de la santé publique du Canada (ASPC) pour les pratiques
exemplaires. Nous avons modifié et mis à l’épreuve (en trois phases) ces critères
en nous servant d’interventions décrites dans des publications. Nous avons résolu les
questions et les difficultés d’ordre théorique et méthodologique grâce à des consultations
et des discussions approfondies avec un groupe de travail.

Résultats

L’équipe a établi un ensemble de critères relatifs aux pratiques prometteuses
qui diffèrent sur six plans des critères relatifs aux pratiques exemplaires.

Conclusion

Bien que plusieurs difficultés complexes se soient présentées pendant
l’élaboration des critères, des discussions et des débats exhaustifs nous ont permis de les
surmonter. Les critères de sélection du Portail canadien des pratiques exemplaires permettent
de repérer les pratiques exemplaires et prometteuses dans les domaines de la
santé publique, de la promotion de la santé et de la prévention des maladies chroniques,
voire éventuellement dans d’autres domaines.
Postcolonial dilemmas in Kiran Desai’s The Inheritance of Loss
Authors: Abraham Abraham Panavelil
Published: November 2017

The paper will try to analyze Kiran Desai’s Booker winning novel The Inheritance of Loss as story dealing primarily about the problems of migration faced by her characters, their tensions and dilemmas. One of the major concerns of diasporic literature is the problem of exile, displacement and the resulting consequences. Uprooting from one’s own home land is an agonizing process that brings numerous material and emotional traumas in the process of re-rooting in an alien land. The characters are often victims of circumstances and by the time they realize the problems, they are exhausted, miserable and frustrated.  Even when they come back after their traumatic experiences, like the Judge in the novel, they often develop a sense of distrust and anger. They are in a state of confusion from which they find it difficult to come out. The paper will focus on the experiences of some of the characters in the novel – Jemubhai Patel, the Judge, and Biju, the son of Judge’s cook who is the central character of the novel. The book seems to suggest that true happiness does not lie in material wealth or comforts, but in one’s own dignity, identity and sense of belonging. In the novel, the characters especially Biju has to undergo number of traumatic experiences that brought a lot of material loss, but he has a spiritual gain- the realization of what brings true joy in life.   Keywords: Alienation, Assimilation, Diaspora, Hybridization, , Identity, Immigrant, , Postcolonial
"MAITRES ANCIENS" DE NICOLAS MAHLER (D’APRÈS THOMAS BERNHARD) : L’ART À L’ÉPREUVE DE LA CARICATURE
Authors: FAURE-GODBERT Sylvaine
Published: November 2017

Old Masters of Nicolas Mahler (after Thomas Bernhard): Art Which Tests the Caricature. Nicolas Mahler, born 1969 in Vienna, is a major figure in the German-speaking world of comics and his graphic novel Old Masters (2011) falls in with his own reflection on art. I will try to identify the devices (options of narrative patterns, graphic style, etc.) thanks to which he aligns this adaptation of a comedy by the Austrian novelist and playwright Thomas Bernhard with his own works. The systematic wrecking of art that the musicologist Reger carries out in his diatribes thus translates in the graphic novel as a radical iconoclasm. Indeed, Reger’s defense of an aesthetic of the fragment as well as his praise for caricature become in Mahler’s adaptation quite an irreverent effort to deconstruct old masters and their works.
REZUMAT. Vechi maeștri de Nicolas Mahler (după Thomas Bernhard): arta și proba caricaturii. Nicolas Mahler, născut la Viena în 1969, figură majoră pentru banda desenată germanofonă, înscrie romanul său grafic Vechi maeștri (2011) în propria sa reflecție cu privire la artă. Vom căuta să determinăm prin ce procedee el reușește să plaseze în continuitatea operei sale această adaptare a comediei romancierului și dramaturgului austriac Thomas Bernhard. Demersul de a demola sistematic arta pe care îl întreprinde muzicologul Reger în diatribele sale se traduce astfel în romanul grafic printr-un iconoclasm radical. Estetica fragmentului adoptată de Reger, precum și preferința sa pentru caricatură dau naștere în adaptarea lui Mahler, unei lucrări de deconstrucție irevocabilă a picturilor vechilor maeștri.

Fictionalisation is easing the catharsis and the memory process. This article examines the status of testimonies from four graphic novels and the way by which the questions of liberty, individual liability, adaptation and forced submission to historical events are dealt with. Graphic novels participate to the in a privileged manner to the construction of the memories and the historical imagination.

LES ‘CHANTS DU MORT’ ET LA SPLENDEUR NOIRCIE DE LA VIE QUI RÉSISTE
Authors: ROTIROTI Giovanni
Published: November 2017

Songs to the Dead and the Dark Splendor of Life Which Resists. This study aims to demonstrate how some Songs ‘To the dead’ from Gorj district (collected by Constantin Brăiloiu and translated in French by Ilarie Voronca, with the title Chants du mort) have considerably influenced the European poetry in the XXth century. These funeral songs, coming from an ancient oral tradition and very popular during the Romanian Middle Age, are the archaic proof of Romanian popular poetry, since they deal with Pre-Christian immaginary. In these songs the dead aims to be ready for a long trip, where he meets some supernatural entities, who drive him to the afterlife. In this article, a relevant part is dedicated to Paul Celan and Ilarie Voronca, and a specific attention is paid to the revolutionary trait of the sense of loss, to grief elaboration and to exile, in a world which has been destroyed by the Holocaust.
REZUMAT. Cântecele mortului (Ale mortului) și strălucirea întunecată a vieții ce persistă. Dorim să probăm prin acest studiu că unele cântece din cuprinsul culegerii Ale mortului din Gorj (culegere de text funebru popular datorată cunoscutului etnomuzicolog român Constantin Brăiloiu, pusă în circulație grație traducerii în limba franceză de către Ilarie Voronca, cu titlul Chants du mort) au exercitat o influență considerabilă asupra poeziei europene din secolul al XX-lea. Aceste cântece funerare vin din cea mai îndepărtată tradiție orală ce a atins în teritoriile românești o circulație medievală impresionantă. Le considerăm o dovadă a începuturilor poeziei românești cu origini în epoci arhaice, coborând în imaginarul precreștin. În aceste cântece mortul își face cunoscută dorința de a fi pregătit pentru o lungă călătorie pe parcursul căreia întâlnește entități supranaturale, ce îl conduc spre viața de apoi. O parte însemnată din economia articolului este dedicată lui Paul Celan și lui Ilarie Voronca ; acordăm o atenție deosebită accentelor revoluționare ale sentimentului de înstrăinare, de pierdere, de cristalizare a durerii și de percepere a exilului, într-o lume aneantizată, redusă la cenușă de Holocaust.

Adolescence and Trauma. The Mother - Daughter Relationship in Hva er det med mor, of Vigdis Hjorth. The figure of the mother was a subject of debate in Norwegian literature especially beginning with the 1970s. Although at first the authors insisted upon the role of women in a society in full economic, social and political development, today the emphasis relies on the transparency of family relations. Our intention is to analyze the intergenerational relations that appear in the novel of Vigdis Hjorth, What is happening with mother [Hva er det med mor] and to see to what extent the figure of the mother influences the fate and the moral and psychosomatic development of her girl.

Tendința de a spune totul despre familie și despre sine a devenit astfel un adevărat fenomen în ultimii ani. Intenția noastră în acest articol este de a analiza relațiile intergeneraționale care apar în romanul lui Vigdis Hjorth, Ce se întâmplă cu mama mea?, pentru a vedea în ce măsură figura mamei influențează soarta și cursul moral și psihosomatic al copilului său.

Ficción de performance original en el exordio de ARGONÁUTICAS de apolonio de rodas
Authors: Llanos Pablo Martín
Published: November 2017

Las características del narrador apoloniano han sido objeto de análisis de un número importante de estudios sobre Argonáuticas. Generalmente, se reconoce que este presenta las características típicas del narrador homérico, combinadas con dos características muy notables que lo alejan de este modelo épico: una muy marcada conciencia literaria y el uso frecuente de elementos y técnicas de otros géneros literarios. En este trabajo intentaremos demostrar que estas características forman parte de una técnica literaria que atraviesa toda la obra y que denominamos “ficción de performance original”. Esta “ficción” supone que el texto de Argonáuticas es el resultado de una performance épica, mientras que, a la vez y paradójicamente, acentúa su composición escrita. Así, esta “ficción” recrea la experiencia y los problemas ante los que un lector alejandrino se enfrentaba al leer las épicas homéricas, creando en el poema una poética de la recepción como forma de renovación del género épico.
Effect of blood collection by the push-pull technique from an indwelling catheter versus direct venipuncture on venous blood gas values before and after administration of alfaxalone or propofol in dogs

OBJECTIVE To compare the effect of blood collection by a push-pull technique from an indwelling IV catheter versus direct venipuncture on venous blood gas values before and after administration of alfaxalone or propofol to dogs.

DESIGN Prospective randomized clinical study.

ANIMALS 30 healthy client-owned dogs that weighed ≥ 10 kg (22 lb) and were anesthetized for elective surgical procedures.

PROCEDURES All dogs were premedicated with methadone (0.5 mg/kg [0.2 mg/lb], IM), and 20 to 30 minutes later, anesthesia was induced with either alfaxalone (1 to 3 mg/kg [0.5 to 1.4 mg/lb], IV to effect; n = 15) or propofol (2 to 6 mg/kg [0.9 to 2.7 mg/lb], IV to effect; 15). Immediately prior to premedication and after anesthesia induction, paired blood samples were collected from the cephalic veins; 1 by direct venipuncture and 1 by use of a push-pull technique from a 20-gauge catheter. All blood samples underwent venous blood gas analysis immediately after collection. Results were compared between sample collection techniques before and after anesthesia induction and between anesthesia induction protocols.

RESULTS All results were within established reference ranges. For many variables, statistically significant but clinically irrelevant differences were detected between samples collected by direct venipuncture and those collected by the push-pull technique but not between the 2 anesthesia induction protocols.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results indicated the push-pull technique was an acceptable method for collection of blood samples from dogs for venous blood gas analysis that could be used instead of direct venipuncture for patients with patent IV catheters.

Published: November 2017

OBJECTIVE To determine the effects of oral gabapentin administration prior to veterinary examination on signs of stress in cats.

DESIGN Randomized, blinded, crossover clinical trial.

ANIMALS 20 healthy pet cats with a history of fractious behavior or signs of stress during veterinary examination.

PROCEDURES Cats were scheduled for 2 veterinary visits 1 week apart and randomly assigned to receive a capsule containing 100 mg of gabapentin (13.0 to 29.4 mg/kg [5.9 to 13.4 mg/lb]) or placebo (lactose powder) prior to the first visit and the opposite treatment prior to the second visit. Owners were instructed to administer the assigned capsule orally 90 minutes prior to placing the cat into a carrier and transporting it to the veterinary hospital. Standardized physical examinations and blood pressure readings were performed. Owners assigned a cat stress score during transportation and examination, and the veterinarian assigned a compliance score at the visit. Scores were compared between treatments, controlling for various factors.

RESULTS Owner-assessed cat stress scores during transportation and veterinary examination and veterinarian-assessed compliance scores were significantly lower when cats received gabapentin than when they received the placebo. Sedation was a common effect of gabapentin administration, and ataxia, hypersalivation, and vomiting were also reported. All effects resolved within 8 hours after gabapentin administration.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Owners' perception of stress in their cats is a primary reason for failing to seek veterinary care. Results of this study suggested that gabapentin is a safe and effective treatment for cats to help reduce stress and aggression and increase compliance for transportation and veterinary examination.

The outcome of the pregnancy was favorable for both mother and fetus. During labor the fetus developed bradycardia and the patient delivered by Cesarean section a 3400 g baby-boy with 8 Apgar Score; the anesthesia was spinal. 18 hours after delivery the patient presented mild respiratory distress. The symptomatology was caused by the enlargement of the parotid gland. The treatment was supportive and the remission occurred 10 hours after the onset. The initial discussion that raised this case was caused by the viral, infection and stenotic cause of the parotiditis. All these reasons had no medical argument. It was also debated about the anesthesia but, until now, the medical literature didn’t report any case of association between parotiditis and spinal anesthesia. It is also impossible to correlate the parotiditis with IVF procedure. As a conclusion, this case is unique because it represents the parotiditis without unknown case that appeared after Cesarean section and spinal anesthesia in a healthy woman.

We remind you of some technical artifices required in order to resolve difficult cases, such as: antegrade laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), subtotal laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SLC) and the “stairs” clipping of the cystic duct. Also we acknowledge the closing of the cystic duct. We analyzed the medical records of 15251 laparoscopic cholecystectomies performed during 1994-2015, with emphasis on: surgical technique, conversion rate, hemorrhage, postoperative bile leaking, iatrogenic MBD injuries and mortality. We divided the cases in 5 study groups, group 1 (1994-2004) N= 5138, group 2 (2005-2015) N= 10113, group 3 (fundus first cholecystectomies, N=2348), group 4 (retrograde cholecystectomies, N=12889) and group 5 (subtotal laparoscopic cholecystectomy-SLC, N=14) which we compared regarding the main parameters. We prefer to perform a “step by step” clipping each time the length of the clip does not cover all the circumference of the cystic duct. This artifices, is a simple laparoscopic gesture easy to perform and has the advantage of avoiding a large excessive and risky laparoscopic dissection in the vicinity of the main biliary duct. More seldom we appeal to the suture of the cystic stump using the intra-corporeal knots or a simple stump ligation with an extracorporeal preformed not. We did not encounter any late or early complications following the implementation of this technical laparoscopic artifice. Laborious laparoscopic cholecystectomies performed by a well-trained surgical team ensure the premises of a good performance even while adopting laparoscopic ingenious and difficile gestures that also respect the intra-operatory rules and principals.

Published: November 2017

The problem of uncertainty often becomes an obstacle, especially in terms of diagnosing the provision in this study. There is an algorithm that can solve this problem is Dempster-shafer (D-S), this algorithm has belief value that serves to determine the influence between symptoms. Belief value is obtained from experts, when there are new symptoms must have to ask the experts to know the value of belief, and takes time as well. So the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm will help generate and optimize the value of belief in D-S. PSO is able to produce optimal belief value. This research is to generate value belief D-S with PSO.

"Scum of the Earth": Patočka, Atonement, and Waste
Authors: Alvis Jason
Published: November 2017

Sacrifice, solidarity, and social decadence were essential themes not only for Patočka's philosophical work, but also for his personal life. In the "Varna Lectures" sacrifice is characterized uniquely as the privation of a clear telos, as counter-escapist, and as sutured to a comportment of finite life that is non-causal and non-purposive.  In his Heretical Essays a similar hope is expressed to extract meaningfulness from use-value, and to deploy a Socratic and Christian "Care for the Soul" that can counteract the decadences of our age.  These interests and developments of the practice and notion of sacrifice point to Patočka's double-hereticism, both of the post-industrial age of technological advancement, and of what had become the unthought-through (and therefore taken for granted) of the Christian tradition. In both senses, his theory of sacrifice is not unlike that of St. Paul, who saw the necessity of counter-acting the decadence and pompousness of the Corinthians by calling them to become "scum of the earth." This helps reveal how sacrifice presumes, in general, an operative notion of waste, and this paper seeks to lend further understanding to the relation between solidarity and sacrifice by developing, from out of Patočka's own work, precisely how waste figures prominently in such a relation. Waste may be refused by merit of being deemed to have no value; waste can mark a layer of expenditure of using "something up" in a way that overlooks its societal surplus; and waste could depict whatever is, like a wasteland, uncultivable and barren. Waste then is employed in the essay as a heuristic tool for understanding how the normalization of the relation between solidarity and sacrifice is in need of being inverted, and how this inversion has consequences also for how solidarity can be considered in relation to atonement.

Warna menjadi bahasan yang menarik untuk dianalisis karena kosakata warna dalam setiap bahasa memiliki keunikannya tersendiri. Warna dalam bahasa Sunda banyak dipengaruhi oleh keadaan alam. Berdasarkan pada pendekatan MSA, kosakata warna diklasifikasikan berdasarkan warna dasar, tanda alam dan keterangan/kata sifat. Penulis melihat adanya makna asali kosakata warna yang dapat diperoleh dengan memperbandingkan dengan kosakata warna bahasa Sunda dan bahasa Indonesia. Warna dasar dalam bahasa Sunda memiliki perbedaan dengan bahasa Indonesia. Bahasa Sunda awalnya tidak mengenal konsep warna biru sebagai warna dasar. Selain itu, variasi warna dalam bahasa Sunda sangat rapat, seperti warna hijau yang memiliki banyak ciri dengan menggunakan tanda alam dan kata sifat.
