Public Health Considerations for Adolescent Initiation of Electronic Cigarettes
Authors: Gaiha Shivani Mathur , Halpern-Felsher Bonnie
Published: May 2020

Adolescent use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) has increased dramatically, with younger and nicotine-naive adolescents starting to use these devices and use them more frequently than combustible cigarettes. In emerging evidence, it is shown that e-cigarettes are not effective in helping adult smokers quit and that youth using e-cigarettes are at risk for becoming nicotine dependent and continuing to use as adults. Important gaps in our knowledge remain regarding the long-term health impact of e-cigarettes, effective strategies to prevent and reduce adolescent e-cigarette use, and the impact of provider screening and counseling to address this new method of nicotine use.
Spin–state transition in the layered barium cobaltite derivatives and their thermoelectric properties
Authors: Klyndyuk A. I. , Chizhova E. A. , Shevchenko S. V.
Published: May 2020

Ba1.9Me0.1Co9O14 (Me = Ba, Sr, Ca) (BCO) layered cobaltites were prepared by means of solid-state reactions method. Crystal structure, microstructure, thermal expansion, electrical conductivity, and thermo-EMF for the obtained oxides were studied; the values of their linear thermal expansion coefficient, activation energy of electrical transport, and power factor values were calculated. It was found that BCO are p-type semiconductors, in which the spin-state transition occurs within 460-700 K temperature interval due to change in spin state of cobalt ions, which accompanied the sharp increase in electrical conductivity, activation energy of electrical conductivity, and linear thermal expansion coefficient, while thermo-EMF coefficient decreased. Partial substitution of barium by strontium or calcium in BCO leads to the increase in spin-state transition temperature and electrical conductivity of the samples, and, at the same time, thermo-EMF coefficient; consequently, their power factor values decrease.
Representative consolidation coefficient values in Hong Kong soils
Authors: Wong Hong-Yau
Published: May 2020

The traditional method of determining the coefficient of consolidation in Hong Kong soils is to use oedometer testing. However, this gives unrealistically low coefficients for more permeable soils, resulting in over-conservative foundation designs. To extend the determination to more permeable materials, test results from isotropic consolidation in a triaxial cell can be adopted. Building on a previous study into marine clay and decomposed granite, the study reported in this paper covered most major soil types in Hong Kong to provide designers with realistic values for consolidation coefficients. First, a new method was developed for processing the large volume of soil data collected. This made it possible to conduct a detailed examination from fundamental soil behaviour of how consolidation coefficients are affected by parameters such as soil type, in situ dry density, particle size distribution, testing type and testing laboratory.
The value of academics’ research-related online writing
Authors: Hynninen Niina , Kaufhold Kathrin
Published: May 2020

Research productivity indicators tend to ignore online and social media writing of academics, nevertheless, many academics for instance tweet and blog. It thus seems that there is additional value for writing in these genres. This study sets out to explore what roles writing in these hybrid online genres plays in relation to academics’ research activities. Drawing on in-depth research interviews with 29 academics with various L1s from three different disciplines, the study focuses on the participants’ perceptions of tweeting and blogging, and how they value writing in these genres in relation to core research-writing genres in their fields. Besides some differences in the evaluations between the disciplines, in general the academics expressed a strong orientation towards evaluative regimes related to writing in their core genres, particularly institutional merit systems and peer review systems. At the same time, the hybrid genres seemed to gain value beyond these systems in providing opportunities for self-actualisation and communicating on one’s own terms. The findings provide important insights into the ecology of genres academics make use of in the process of knowledge production.

Authors: Kiriş Avaroğulları Ayten
Published: May 2020

This study aims to determine the ways how the 5th grade (ages 10-11) students interpret historical knowledge based on historical sources. To study this student were given a worksheet containing historical sources and an open-ended question based on the historical sources. The data of this study is collected through one of the answers provided to the question by 150 students in elementary school. The data has been categorized under themes which have been created after study of students answers and related literature. The analysis of data demonstrate that pupils can interpret historical knowledge in the sources. Also it has been found that most of the pupils were able to synthesis their prior knowledge and information in the historical sources presented to them and were able reach personal conclusion. Yet some of the students tend to copy the information as is written on the historical source or respond emotionally. This study supports the idea that 5th grade (ages 10-11) students can read historical written sources and acquire historical information. Also this study gives information to social studies teachers on what consider when they prepare historical task for elementary school. Keywords Teaching history, social studies education, elementary school students, primary sources, historical reading
¿Campo artístico o tótems de un grupo de estatus? Ritual tradicional, innovación estética y reproducción social en las Fallas de Valencia
Authors: Rius-Ulldemolins Joaquim , Gisbert-Gracia Veronica
Published: May 2020

¿Pueden ser analizadas las fallas de Valencia con el concepto de campo artístico de Pierre Bourdieu? Esta cuestión ha sido abordada otras veces, pero ha obtenido una respuesta axiomática, considerando sólo su vertiente artística. Sin embargo, entendemos que, a diferencia de los campos artísticos modernos, en las Fallas y otras fiestas tradicionales no podemos constatar una dinámica de autonomización social ni una dinámica de oposición entre arte burgués y arte puro o la sustitución de vanguardias. Por el contrario, el dominio de los Fallas de la elite refleja la heteronomía del mundo fallero respecto del campo económico y social. Por ello a partir de datos cuantitativos y cualitativos el artículo analiza los límites de la aplicación de la herramienta heurística bourdiniana para la cultura festiva y propone el concepto de Randall Collins de ritual de interacción, derivado de la sociología de la religión de Durkheim, cuya perspectiva conflictivista permite comprender su efecto delimitador y jerarquizador de los grupos sociales. Aplicado en el caso de las Fallas nos habilita a comprender su instrumentalización en la reproducción del orden social en una vertiente neotradicionalista y conservadora.
Creatividad, autonomía y autenticidad: un estudio de los músicos indie en España.
Authors: Calvo Kerman , Bejarano Ester
Published: May 2020

Este artículo estudia a los músicos indie en España. A partir de treinta entrevistas a músicos, se discuten los conflictos sobre la autenticidad en el espacio alternativo contemporáneo. Los músicos indie conforman un espacio de creación propio, un “subcampo” en la terminología propuesta por Pierre Bourdieu. Es un espacio cruzado por relaciones múltiples y maleables con la industria y reconocido dentro de las músicas populares, en donde conviven convergencias artísticas con patrones de conflicto. El análisis revela la transformación de las preocupaciones de muchos de estos músicos. Para gran parte de ellos, lo relevante es remarcar las diferencias con otros músicos desde la perspectiva de la reputación y la autenticidad. Esas barreras de diferenciación, que entendemos como una expresión de capital subcultural, se construyen sobre una serie de estrategias, centradas en la experimentación, el conocimiento y el tránsito por espacios alternativos. En última instancia, el artículo sitúa a los músicos indie como altavoces privilegiados de conflictos valorativos e ideológicos en torno a la definición social de la independencia, y también como agentes relevantes en la articulación de dicha definición.
Paideia: entre lo político y la política de la institución imaginaria de la educación
Authors: Almaraz Cerda Marco Antonio
Published: May 2020

El artículo pretende elucidar lo que la institución de la educación es, a partir de la obra de Cornelius Castoriadis, y cómo es que se relaciona con la política como actividad y lo político como ejercicio. Partiendo de la premisa de que la educación posee la política y lo político como características intrínsecas. Así, se establece un siguiente vínculo entre sus formas más elaboradas, la institución de la paideia y la institución del poder. Esto admite presentar a la educación como la forma por la cual se transmite la paideia, la cultura; sinónimo de sociedad, es decir, el conjunto de valores que sostienen a esa sociedad. Esos valores comprenden el hacer, decir, pensar con los que se fabrican al individuo mismo, individuo que a su vez hace, dice y piensa a dicha sociedad, sin caer en reduccionismos, ni determinismos. Pues además del poder explícito latente y visible, está el infra-poder como generador de nuevas formas sociales, nuevas instituciones sociales. Por lo anterior, la relevancia de recuperar la reflexión sobre la finalidad, funcionalidad y necesidad de la paideia como creación humana que potencia tanto a la psique humana, como al colectivo anónimo.

Authors: Nchindila Bernard M. , Torto Richard T.
Published: May 2020

Little is known about persuasive effects of figures of speech in the English of advertisements in Ghanaian press. In the current study, we focused on this persuasive effect of figures of speech in the English employed in advertisements in newspapers in Ghana. Since advertising is a genre of mass media communication which unearths the exceptional qualities of products and services in a persuasive fashion, it is also a form of marketing communication through which business organizations inform the general public about new or improved commercial endeavors. Therefore, language plays an indispensable role in the transmission of the message. The language of advertising influences the reasoning, thinking, feeling and the general attitude of the audience. The study reported about in this article was underpinned by the Conventional Figurative Language Theory, utilizing the qualitative content analysis approach as the analytical framework. The findings revealed that copywriters of the Ghanaian newspapers employed English figures of speech (tropes and rhetorical figures) in advertisements for persuasive effect.

Authors: Javadi Yaghoob , Tahmasbi Mozhdeh
Published: May 2020

The present study aims to use Sociocultural Identity theory to education with reference to teaching and learning English as a second language in the EFL textbooks development. The findings of this study revealed that there is a need to use the cultural sensitive and context-appropriate materials in the EFL textbooks. It is urgent to teaching materials correspond with the learners’ attitudes, religious opinions and preferences. Because, textbook is not only a commercially accessible reference book which is utilized in a language teaching program, it additionally serves as a significant way to convey political and ideological orientation. Moreover, textbooks decide not only content teaching and learning environments, but also what dominant or valid culture is passed on. Then one goal of textbooks is to serve as a means of facilitating the integration of content about ethnically, racially and culturally diverse individuals. To this end, textbook writers should avoid cultural inequalities and prejudices that learners can absorb in their learning, and have a balanced representation of social / cultural components such as ethnicity, gender, and race.

Las luchas contra el delito y sus efectos en la Argentina. Sobre la expansión del encarcelamiento y las dificultades de seguir a nuestros presos
Authors: Mancini Inés
Published: May 2020

This article aims to show some of the widespread effects of imprisonment. Considering fear of crime, imprisonment is one of the main solution that governments propose and societies accept. However, it is seldom thought that prison produces effects that extend well beyond those convicted. Accordingly, the increase in the incarceration rate and the selectivity of the penal system produces a socio-territorial configuration of links between poverty, justice, and imprisonment. Thus, popular neighborhoods whose inhabitants go to and inhabit in courts and prisons in various ways (as visitors, caregivers, or detainees). Thus, we find young men from popular neighborhoods that find prison as a possible destination and, at the same time, the women from these neighborhoods are supposed to take care of those young people incarcerated.

Оцінка екологічної небезпеки атмосферного повітря урбоекосистеми за станом депонуючого середовища
Authors: Barabash Olena
Published: May 2020

Діяльність промислових підприємств та викиди автомобільного транспорту є основними джерелами забруднення урбоекосистем і становлять суттєву загрозу здоров'ю населення міст в результаті емісії пилу в атмосферу. Висока кумулятивна здатність токсичних металів, зокрема плюмбуму призводить до його надходження в атмосферне повітря, ґрунти та підземні води, а в кінцевому підсумку – до накопичення в тканинах та органах рослинних організмах. Існує залежність між вмістом токсичних металів в атмосферному повітрі і випадінням їх в межах санітарно-захисної зони промислових та автотранспортних підприємств й розповсюдженням по всій території урбоекосистеми. Сніговий покрив депонує забруднення, тому досить часто використовується для проведення оцінки стану атмосферного повітря. Пошаровий відбір проб снігового покриву дозволяє встановити динаміку забруднення та вплив виробничих потужностей підприємств на стан урбоекосистеми. Застосування методів біотестування за допомогою рослинних організмів, які використовуються в якості тест-об’єктів засноване на їх чутливості до екзогенного хімічного впливу і відображується в реакції-відповіді рослин на забруднюючі речовини. Визначення фізико-хімічних показників снігового покриву та розрахунок фітотоксичного ефекту на основі методів фітотестування дозволяє виявити не лише присутність у сніговому покриві токсичних металів, але й отримати достовірну інформацію про їх розподіл в атмосферному повітрі міст. За результатами проведених досліджень отримано показники довжини пагонів Lepidium sativum. Тест-об’єкт був пророщений у пробах снігового покриву відібраного на відстані 5-50 м поблизу підприємства АЗС «WOG». Отримані дані порівнювались із значеннями довжини пагонів тест-об’єктів пророщених у пробах снігу з території паркової зони. Встановлено, що рівень забруднення атмосферного повітря токсичними металами на відстані 50 м від АЗС «WOG є найвищим. Фізико-хімічні показники снігового покриву та фітотоксичний ефект вказують на високу ймовірність потрапляння токсичних металів в атмосферне повітря за межі санітарно-захисної зони АЗС «WOG».
Elements of Eastern Poetics as Regulatory Tools of the Modern Literary Process
Authors: Bezrukov Andrey N.
Published: May 2020

The article deals with the nature of the synthesis of modern Russian prose and elements of Eastern poetics. On the example of Victor Pelevin’s texts – Т (2009), Batman Apollo (2013), Secret views of Mount Fuji (2018) – the question of functioning in the author’s artistic discourse of the designated signs is objectified. In a special way in V.O. Pelevin’s prose the religious and philosophical aspect of Zen Buddhism as the adjacent direction of East culture is played. Elements of Eastern poetics organize the plot and thematic block of works in a special way. The variant principle of Viktor Pelevin’s writing organically complements the literary process, moving in a spiral of increment of world art practice. Moreover, reading is in a situation of multiple connotations of meanings, as well as a constructive relational assessment of being. Elements of oriental poetics in Pelevin discourse acquire shades of semantic tricks. The synergy of the author’s experiment is also becoming a reception model for the potential reader. An open dialogue, thus, produces the manipulation and synthesis of cultural signs with their own halo of readings. The analysis of the prose of Victor Pelevin confirms the idea that the compilation of different aesthetically world contemplation positions expanding the horizon of meaning, reduplicate the rhizome connotations. It is concluded that the implementation of Eastern poetics in the texts of postmodernism at the level of motives and images objectively concretizes the process of cultural synthesis of modern literature.

On the Peculiarities of the Artistic Form of the Lezgin Folk Proverbs and Sayings
Authors: Gasharova Aida R.
Published: May 2020

National proverbs and sayings of Lezgins are analyzed. Attention is paid to the internal laws of proverbial poetics. The author dwells on a peculiar artistic form of Lezgin proverbs and sayings, which is evidence of a high level of creative thinking, aesthetic taste, poetic perception of various spheres of life by the people. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the issues of sound organization and the poetic form of the Lezgin folk proverbs and sayings have not yet become the object of comprehensive study. In this regard, the analysis of emotional and expressive means in small aphoristic genres of folklore is of great scientific interest. The goal of our work is to give an objective assessment of the peculiar poetic form of folk paremias, which is in the rhythmic organization, but our analysis does not pretend to a full interpretation of the topic under study. It is proved that the specificity of the artistic form of folk sayings is alliteration, rhyme, rhythm, sound repetitions that contribute to the poetic language of speech, the most clear expression of thoughts and the selection of the main meaning. A number of pictorial and expressive means of poetic speech helps her in this. Thus, rhythm and various kinds of rhymes contribute not only to the preservation of the unity of proverbs and sayings, but also to the selection of the main idea. The rhyme in folk proverbs plays a rhythmic and semantic role.
Stylistic Peculiarities of the Text of the Academic Lecture (Based on the Material of the English Language)
Authors: Sukhomlinova Marina A.
Published: May 2020

The article analyses some peculiarities in the style of a lecture in modern English. It has been found out that the most important stylistic characteristics include logical sequence, rigor of presentation, clarity, objectivity, monological nature of presentation, semantic capacity and some others. The contents of the lecture is oriented to the scientific community. In spite of the fact that the most part of the lecture is a monologue, the lecture genre has a dialogical character. The text of a lecture often contains citations which illustrate the points of view of different scientists. Functional and stylistic peculiarities of an academic substyle are reflected in the genre of a lecture, in particular, in the lexical, syntactic and grammar characteristics. The style of a lecturer can vary depending on the level of spokenness, which is expressed in the use of rhetorical questions and discourse markers. The author comes to the conclusion that a lecture is a peculiar genre which is created in the written form but which is presented to the audience in the oral or online form. A lecture genre is one of the basic university genres with a long history. There exist different styles of an academic lecture which are subject to changes depending on the academic discipline, personality of a lecturer, as well as modern communication technologies used by the lecturer. A lecture style is a complex notion which incorporates verbal, nonverbal and paraverbal components.

RESUMO

O artigo analisa as maneiras pelas quais as vozes e os escritos do passado, tanto os que chegaram até nós como os que ainda podemos obter de pessoas vivas, podem contribuir de maneira especial para o conhecimento e a interpretação da cultura escolar do passado. Defendemos que eles constituem um patrimonio histórico-educativo muito importante e valioso, que deve ser salvo e aproveitado. Através do mesmo são indicadas as potencialidades e os valores desses recursos, “egodocumentos”, e também seus problemas, bem como limitações e cautelas a serem consideradas pelo investigador. Em todo o trabalho se repassa e analisa diversos aspectos: o valor dos “testemunhos” como objeto de interpretação; o sentido e as contribuições da “memoria” e de seus quadros  sociais; a relação significativa que se establece entre memoria e “emoção”, uma vinculação que nos permite captar e revelar “vivencias” de práticas escolares. O artigo termina oferecendo um conjunto sintético, de desafios e caminhos de pesquisa e estudo, que aponta esse campo como sugestivo e necessário, o que nos permitirá não apenas conhecimento descritivo, mas também “personalizar” os protagonistas, contextualizando-os em sua comunidade sociopolítica.

Objects used in this study were three water phantoms, each with a diameter of 165 mm, 230 mm, and 305 mm. The image quality-analyzed was CT Number and noise. Measurement of image quality was carried out following Bapeten's provisions. Noise Power Spectrum (NPS) graphics were also used to further observes noise texture. The CT Number accuracy, CT Number, and noise uniformity obtained with and without CARE Dose 4D, on the three phantoms were still within Bapeten's threshold. This indicates that the use of CARE Dose 4D can still image a homogeneous object accurately. The results of the NPS curve showed that the two modes, in three phantoms, were having the same noise texture. The NPS curves also showed that the use of CARE Dose 4D produces higher noise than the non-CARE Dose 4D mode. Meanwhile, there were significant differences from the CTDIvol obtained from the two modes. The use of CARE Dose 4D software reduced dose of up to 54.34%. From this, the use of CARE Dose 4D software can reduce the radiation dose while maintaining image quality.
CHARACTERISTICS OF RAINFALL AND PRECIPITABLE WATER IN THE ANNUAL AND SEMIANNUAL RAINFALL IN THE AREA WITH VARIOUS INTENSITY OF EL NINO (SUMATERA CASE STUDY)
Authors: Safril Agus
Published: May 2020

Indonesia has a range of islands in the maritime continent which surrounded by oceans with strong cloud convection. El Nino events at weak, medium, or strong intensity can cause different effects of convection. Based on these conditions, it is necessary to analyze the characteristics of rainfall when El Nino occurred in Sumatra. The analysis was carried out by looking at the percentage of dominant frequency events of Normal (N), Normal (N), and Above Normal (AN) rainfall in El Nino years. The analysis was also carried for the relationship between the content of precipitable water and sea surface temperatures in the Central Pacific (Nino of 3.4 indexes). The results of the analysis show that the effect of El Nino (in the annual rain cycle) is stronger than the region with the semi-annual rain cycle. The annual rain cycle area in the El Nino intensity category is weak, medium, strong (predominantly BN-N rain characteristics). In the semi-annual rainfall cycle (rainfall between N-AN) it is medium (BN-AN), and strong (N-BN). The average composite percentage in the years of EL Nino shows a weak intensity with the average of rain BN between 37-50%, medium (42-53), and strong (42-48%). Whereas in the annual cycle region, the average rainfall characteristics of the BN category are weak (50-58%), moderate (36-56%), and strong (32-60%). Characteristics of different rain characteristics are due to differences in the atmospheric ability to capture moisture. Correlation in the region with the annual rain cycle (June-July-August) between the Nino 3.4 Index and the precipitable water content shows a strong (r) correlation (-0.4 to -0.6). This is in contrast with the region semi-annual rain cycle which shows a weaker correlation (0.2 to 0.3).

Published: May 2020

Case:

We present a rare case of extraskeletal para-articular osteochondroma (ESPAOC) in the ankle of a 9-year-old boy, which was causing pain and limiting the range of motion of the ankle joint. The lesion might have also contributed to the deformity of the medial aspect of the talus. Total resection resolved all of the symptoms, with no recurrence at 1-year postoperatively.

Conclusion:

Operative excision should be considered when ESPAOC directly restricts ankle motion because it can lead to chronic pain and joint degeneration if left untreated.

Background: There is a lack of evidence of life events prior to suicide and associated with an increasing suicide risk for Chinese rural elderly. The aim of this study was to identify the pattern of life events which precede suicide among the elderly in a Chinese culture context. Methods: A total of 12 counties were randomly selected using two-stage stratified cluster sampling method. 242 suicide cases aged 60 years and older were collected from these counties from February 2014 to September 2015. 242 living controls were matched by age, gender, and location. Data in current study were collected through face-to-face interviews by psychological autopsy method. The 46-item Life Event Scale for the Elderly was used to measure the life events before suicide/interviews. Results: Approximately 99.6% of suicides and 88.4% of controls experienced at least one type of life event. The suicide elderly experienced more long-term life events than recent life events. The top three most frequent life events were being diagnosed with chronic disease, hospitalization, and being diagnosed with terminal illness for suicide elderly. More female suicides experienced the death of spouse, while more males experienced hospitalization, diagnosed with terminal illness and suffered family poverty. Experienced at least one type of life events, had unstable marital status, physical diseases and mental disorders were the probability-changing factors for suicide.Conclusions: Life events were common for the rural elderly, especially long-term life events. The experience of any type of life events is the probability-changing factor for suicide. More attention should be paid to the rural elderly who experienced more long- term life events and experienced health related life events.

Background: Polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal gammopathy and skin changes (POEMS) syndrome is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome involving multisystem. Optic disc edema (ODE) is the most common ocular manifestation in patients with POEMS syndrome and serves as an independent prognostic factor. However, parameters previously used to estimate its severity were inconvenient and costly. This study was designed to bring forward a novel and practical parameter, optic disc edema area, to evaluate ODE in patients with this disease and applied it to assess effectiveness of lenalidomide combined with dexamethasone in respect of ODE.Results: Forty-one treatment-naive patients with POEMS syndrome were enrolled in this single-center prospective study and treated with lenalidomide combined with dexamethasone. They received ocular examination to determine optic disc edema (ODE) area and other optic manifestations. Meanwhile, serum VEGF was measured before and after treatment. Among 41 enrolled patients, 38 received complete ocular examinations, and 25 of which had ODE at initial visit. Binocular mean ODE area of patients with ODE was significantly related to ODE grade (r = 0.620, p = 0.003) and peripapillary retinal thickness (r = 0.760, p < 0.001) before treatment. Serum VEGF was significantly higher in patients with ODE than their counterparts (p = 0.025) and positively correlated with binocular mean ODE area (r = 0.460, p = 0.036). After treatment, ODE area, along with serum VEGF, decreased markedly (p < 0.001).Conclusion: ODE area was a reliable index to evaluate ODE severity and could precisely reflect ODE improvement through systemic treatment. Additionally, it was related to serum VEGF, a key factor in disease pathogenesis, suggesting its potential as an indicator of the overall severity of this disease.Trial registration: Clinicaltrials, NCT01816620.

Published: May 2020

Background: The study aimed to investigate the complications rate of and risk factors for unplanned reoperation among elderly patients who underwent posterior lumbar fusion (PLF) for degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis (DLS).Methods: A total of 1100 DLS patients who were older than 60 years were reviewed from January 2006 to December 2016; 33 patients underwent unplanned reoperations and were analysed and divided into two groups (group A: posterolateral fusion, 650 patients; group B: intervertebral fusion, 450 patients). Sex, body mass index (BMI), radiographic data and clinical outcome data were analysed to evaluate the complications rate of and the risk factors for unplanned reoperations.Results: A total of 33 patients underwent unplanned reoperations (3%). The patients were followed for an average of 4.20±2.25 years (group A) and 4.32±2.54 years (group B) without a significant difference. Significant differences were found in mean age, levels of involvement, hospital stay, surgery time, and blood loss between the groups. The causes of unplanned operation were wound infection, screw misplacement, neurological deficit, nonunion, and screw fracture, which were significant except for wound infection between the groups. Higher BMI (obesity), diabetes mellitus (DM), more bleeding and sex (female) were risk factors for complications. Cases of screw misplacement, neurological deficit, nonunion and screw fracture in group A were more significant than those in group B.Conclusion: Patients with higher BMI, DM, older age, posterolateral fusion, and female sex predicted a higher incidence of unplanned reoperations. Spine surgeons may need to pay more attention to their preoperative training and to improving surgical techniques that could reduce the reoperation rate.

With the demand for higher energy density and smaller size lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), the development of high specific capacity active materials and the reduction of the usage of inactive materials are the main directions. Herein, a universal method is developed for binder-free electrodes for excellent stable LIBs by rolling the electrospun membrane directly onto the commercial current collector. The rolling process only makes the fiber web denser without changing the fiber structure, and the fiber web still maintains a porous structure. This strategy significantly improves the structural stability of the membrane compared to the direct carbonized electrospun membrane. Moreover, this method is suitable for a variety of polymerizable adhesive polymers, and each polymer can be composited with different polymers, inorganic salts, etc. The electrode prepared by this method can be stably cycled for more than 2000 cycles at a current density of 2500 mA g -1 . This study provides a cost-effective and versatile strategy to design the LIB electrode with high energy density and stability for experimental research and practical application.
