Study Design: Randomized controlled trial. Setting: Tertiary Care Center in Karachi Pakistan. Period: Two years from April 2015 to April 2017. Materials and Methods: 60 patients were divided into two groups by utilizing a Random Allocation Software. All the patients involved in the study signed a duly informed consent. The inclusion criteria were patients who presented to us with a pilonidal sinus and agreed to participate in the study. All the procedures were performed by the same team of surgeons. Patient follow up was bi-weekly at the outpatient. Data were collected in a predesigned proforma with various variables such as patient demographics, clinical findings, treatment option used, postoperative results, complications (if any), healing time, length of hospital stay and time for a return to function among others. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS version 21.0. A p value of less than 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results: N= 60 patients were included in the study. There were n= 51 men (85%) and n= 9 women (15%). The mean age of patients in group A was 26.45 +/- 5.81 years and the mean age of participants in group B was 27.10 +/- 5.75 years. Symptoms lasted for 6.52 +/- 2.03 days, the most common presenting complaint was pain in 51.66% of patients followed by discharge in 40% and swelling in 33.33% respectively. The mean length of stay at the hospital for both the groups was 4.40 +/- 2.11 days (4.09 +/- 1.96 days in group A and 4.85 +/- 2.33 days in group B), mean time to return to normal functioning was 17.88 +/- 8.46 days (14.50 +/- 7.30 days in group A and 23.80 +/- 6.50 days in group B). The mean healing time postoperatively for both the groups was 39.98 +/- 24.46 days (21.90 +/- 10.15 days in group A and 67.30 +/- 9.09 days in group B. Early postoperative infection was found in n=7 (11.66%) patients, wound necrosis was found in n= 2 (3.33%) patients, and recurrence of the pilonidal sinus was found in n= 3 (5%) of the patients respectively. Conclusion: According to the results of our study primary closure technique provides better outcomes in terms of early return to functioning, shorter duration of wound healing and lower rates of wound infection as compared to excision and healing by secondary intention.

Authors: Telaumbanua Yohannes
Published: August 2019

The speech act of paying compliment (“you are looking good”) to someone is the attempt to establish the social relationship and ties solidarity between the communicators. In addition, it attributes credit to someone other than the speaker; usually the person addressed, for some “good” (possession, characteristic, skill, etc.) which is positively valued by the speaker and the hearer. Furthermore, the act of responding it is an interlocutor’s acceptance (“Thanks, Thank you”) and non-acceptance (“it is really quite old”) of the compliments. In conjunction with English teaching and learning process, the attempt to compliment and respond it can be used as a strategy to help the EFL learners able to open a conversation or a short talk with their classmates. The EFL lecturers/teachers will bridge the learners to strike up their conversations/short talks by providing some conversations/short talks’ situations. The situations, which relate to their friends’ possessions, characteristics, or skills, are used to attribute their credits as conversation opener.

Authors: Darmawan Rahmat
Published: August 2019

This research is aim for finding and describing the language skill of tourism actor in Simanindo sub-district which reflected on the results of using language in public by using linguistic landscape approach or known as LL. The research method which used in this research is descriptive and qualitative method. Basically, qualitative method observe the use of language on LL, review the form and meaning of language morphology and multilingual morphological situation as an international tourist area. In this research we observed that the use of language in all public spaces included street names, welcome greetings, directions, tourism business signs and so on and provided questionnaires for tourism actors regarding language skills. By using qualitative method, Data obtained will be fuller, deeper, trustworthy and meaningful so that the research objectives can be achieved. The findings of the research: language morphology dominated by the form of words and phrases. In the linguistic situation  the most dominant form of bilingual are mixing between the use of Indonesian and English. The meaning of the language contained in LL in Simanindo District is oriented to denotative and connotative meaning. Somewhat rare idiomatic meaning for dominant use of language in the LL is informative. The language skills of tour operators are generally still lacking. This is evident from the morphology of words, phrases, clauses and sentences in Indonesian and English by not applying the rules of writing and good translation. There is a difference between the use of LL made by the government and private institutions. LL by the government has uniformity at the linguistic and non-linguistic level while the independent tourism actors tend to produce the original language according to the wishes of each local community. This becomes significant with the language as the first component encountered by tourists in the tourist area. Language will determine whether the tourists will linger or leave the area immediately. Recommendation: (1) It should be a good linguistic planning of the use of language in the LL in Simanindo. (2) The need to reduce the language awareness of tourism. (3) It should be cooperation between the relevant institutions to provide training and counseling language in favor of language skills (language competence) tourism actors.

La hipótesis del ovillo desmadejado
Authors: Picornell Merce
Published: August 2019

This chapter explores some of the challenges posed by a ‘comparatist’ definition of Iberian Studies. These challenges relate to the reification of the genealogy of cultural, institutional or political links that often justify Iberian literary research. They are also characterised by the tendency to idealise the Iberian context as a net of relations ‘between equals’, which contributes to hide the heterogeneity and the hierarchies between the literary units under analysis. The case of Majorcan literature and culture – an often excluded node of the Iberian ‘peninsular’ network – will be used to argue that exploring this topic from its so-called peripheral ‘others’ offers some solutions to this ‘comparatist’ definition in the contemporary context. Specifically, this chapter focuses on two different aspects of relevance to Iberian Studies: the difficulty of defining the local or regional status of Majorcan literature, and the intersection of local and global synergies in its actual configuration.
La imagen de España en el cine catalán posterior a 2012
Authors: Martínez-Expósito Alfredo
Published: August 2019

An essential component in the study of peripheries, the epistemic construction of the notions of center and centrality can be approached from many different perspectives. This paper focuses on the intersection of two of them: the imagological paradigm and the theory of nation branding. In the intersectional space between them, concepts such as cultural stereotyping, soft power and commercial nationalism are mobilised in ways that differ when a peripherical mindset is favoured. These theoretical tools open up a reflection on the processes of resemantisation that the image of Spain undergoes in contemporary Catalan cinema, as exemplified in the later works by director Ventura Pons. A commentary of Miss Dalí (2018), in the broader context of Pons’ production and of recent Catalan cinema, leads to provisional conclusions about strategies such as erasure, rarefication, negativisation and othering.
Dedica di tre magistrati locresi
Authors: Piccinini Jessica
Published: August 2019

This fifth-century-BC dedicatory inscription ‘to the goddess’ reports the three offerers, who were likely some local magistrates, whose names, i.e. Oinadas, Eukelados, Cheimaros, are rarely attested outside Locroi. The stone was found in the chora of the ancient polis, suggesting that it probably belonged to the rich extra moenia sanctuary of Persephone, which is well documented by ancient literary sources that refer to pillages and destruction, as well as by archaeological evidence, among which helmets and the famous pinakes.
Oracolo di Dodona per Corciresi e Oricii
Authors: Intrieri Maria
Published: August 2019

The lamella, found in the oracular sanctuary of Dodona, contains a public enquiry addressed by Corcyreans and Oricians to Zeus Naios and Diona. The enquiry belongs to the most widespread typology of requests in Dodona: those aimed at obtaining the indication of the divinities to whom it was better to offer prayers in order to obtain protection or support. It is not clear whether this was a periodic practice linked to the attention paid to obtain divine help in the domain of ritual action or to a specific decision matured by the two poleis while facing some adversity. It suggests, however, the existence of a close relationship – perhaps a sympoliteia – between Corcira and Orikos.
Comparison of four off-the-shelf unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and two photogrammetry programmes for monitoring pasture and cropping field trials
Authors: Trolove Michael R. , Shorten Paul
Published: August 2019

Rapid advancements in UAVs, computing power and photogrammetry techniques now permit low cost biological-monitoring applications using off-the-shelf hardware and software. The utility of four UAV models costing $1,200 - $11, 000 and two photogrammetry programmes were assessed in separate experiments to evaluate their ability to detect standardised plant targets and to generate useable orthomoasic images. The colour and contrast of standardised targets influenced detection by UAVs more than their size as height increased. A large green rosette (50.8 cm2) could be detected by all UAVs from 28–90 m, while a yellow target 13 times smaller could be detected at 36–100 m, with the more expensive UAVs being effective at the higher altitudes. Monitoring vegetation cover or flowering plants is possible at the minimum allowable height altitude of 20 m by all four UAVs. However, identification of species in their vegetative state would require the UAVs with the better camera optics. The two photogrammetry programmes produced suitable orthomosaic images under the pasture, maize and hill country scenarios tested.

ANALISIS PENERAPAN CONTROLLED FOREIGN COMPANY RULES DALAM MENGATASI BASE EROSION AND PROFIT SHIFTING DI INDONESIA
Authors: Mightyn Alfa , Andriani Arifah Fibri
Published: August 2019

One cause for the inability to achieve the expected tax revenue target for some last years was the practice of tax avoidance. One form of tax avoidance is the utilization of Controlled Foreign Company (CFC) to defer the recognition of income from overseas over WPDN capital to be taxed in the country. This practice is also faced by many other countries in the world. The issue of the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) has been of concern to developed and developing countries. G20 countries cooperate with OECD to form a BEPS Project to formulate measures to address these BEPS. Indonesia as one of the Associate Members of the Project BEPS has a position that is parallel to the other OECD countries and participates in implementing the BEPS results. BEPS Project has resulted in BEPS Action Plans which one of them is Action 3: Strengthening CFC Rules. Action 3 will provide recommendations to the domestic law related to the design of CFC Rules. Until now, related to Action 3, BEPS Project has issued a Public Discussion Draft Action 3: Strengthening CFC Rules. This draft is divided into seven "building blocks" required for CFC Rules to be effective. The aim of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of CFC Rules in Indonesia, whether it is sufficient to prevent BEPS. After that, we can determine what steps should be taken by Indonesian tax authorities to strengthen the CFC Rules in Indonesia based on seven dimensions of building blocks. The conclusions of this study are (1) CFC Rules in Indonesia as a whole have not been able to overcome BEPS; and (2) When compared with the recommendations of the Discussion Draft Action Plan 3, CFC Rules Indonesia needs to be improved. However, the necessary improvements should be adjusted to match the needs and characteristics of Indonesia.

NEW REGULATION TO REGISTER THE ANOMALOUS CONSTRUCTIONS AND FINANCE URBAN REGENERATION PROJECTS IN TURKEY: DEVELOPMENT PEACE
Authors: BOZ Yüksel , ÇAY Tayfun
Published: August 2019

In the past year a brand new term, Development Peace, has been introduced by the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization of Turkey (MEUT) to register the constructions contrary to development and finance urban regeneration activities. Development Peace has been announced as a regulation in order to establish agreement between the owners of the irregular constructions and the government by providing Construction Registration Deed (CRD) on condition that a certain payment must be made based on the property value. The irregular properties except those constructed on private land and on public land reserved for social facilities will benefit from the regulation. Development Peace covers all kinds of constructions that are not in accordance with the Development Law. In May 18th, 2018 a temporary article explaining this new regulation has been added to the Development Law No. 3194 in Turkey. The anomalous constructions are not a newly discovered problem in Turkey and come from the past. The MEUT has taken the initiative and offered a solution for the majority of the buildings in Turkey. The Development Peace, in addition to its many benefits for the people owning irregular properties, will support urban regeneration projects with the income collected through its implementation. While the government forgives the citizens involved in illegitimacy, the law abiding citizens might be demoralized as the formers are getting rewarded. Development Peace-like regulations might have a pitfall such as encouraging the people that have tendency to violate laws. Therefore, the government should take precautions instead of authorizing irregular constructions. On the other hand, this new regulation covers all kinds of constructions no matter how resilient they are against natural hazards (esp. earthquakes), which is the other flawed side of the regulation.

Clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa often exhibit multidrug resistance due to their inherent ability to form biofilms. Drug resistance in Ps. aeruginosa is a major clinical problem, especially in the management of patients with nosocomial infections and those admitted to ICUs with indwelling medical devices. To evaluate the biofilm forming abilities of the clinical isolates of Ps. aeruginosa and to correlate biofilm formation with antibiotic resistance. A total of 90 consecutive isolates of Ps. aeruginosa obtained from various specimens collected from patients visiting the Manipal Teaching Hospital, Pokhara, Nepal between January 2018 - October 2018 were studied. Isolates were identified by standard microbiological methods. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. All the isolates were tested for their biofilm forming abilities by employing the tissue culture plate assay. Of the 90 Ps. aeruginosa isolates, maximum i.e 42 (46.6%) were from patients in the age group of > 50 years. Majority (30; 33.3%) of the isolates were obtained from sputum samples. However, percentage isolation from other specimens like urine, endotracheal tube (ETT), pus, eye specimens and blood were 18.9%, 16.7%, 16.7%, 7.8% and 6.7% respectively. All the isolates were sensitive to polymixin B and colistin, 91.1% of the organisms were sensitive to imipenem, and more than 80% to aminoglycosides (80% to gentamicin, 83.3% to amikacin). A total of 29 (32.2%) organisms were biofilm producers. Maximum numbers of biofilm producing strains were obtained from ETT (8 of 15; 53.3%), pus (8 of 15; 53.3%) and blood (2 of 6; 33.3%) i.e from all invasive sites. None of the isolates from noninvasive specimens such as conjunctival swabs were biofilm positive. Significantly higher numbers of biofilm producers (23 of 29; 79.3%) were found to be multidrug resistant as compared to non-biofilm (6 of 61; 9.8%) producers (p=0.000). Ps. aeruginosa colonization leading to biofilm formation in deep seated tissues and on indwelling devices is a therapeutic challenge as majority of the isolates would be recalcitrant to commonly used antipseudomonal drugs. Effective monitoring of drug resistance patterns in all Pseudomonas clinical isolates should be a prerequisite for successful patient management.

Adverse drug reaction (ADR) is an injury caused by taking medication. ADR may occur following single dose or prolong administration of drug or combination of two or more drugs. While major advancements of discipline of pharmacovigilance have taken place in the West, not much has been achieved in Asian countries. Labour is characterised by forceful and painful uterine contraction that result in cervical dilation and foetus decent from the birth canal. Anti-spasmodic drugs like hyoscine butylbromide and valethamate bromide have been used to accelerate cervical dilation and thus reduce the labor duration. The objective was to observe ADR with hyoscine and valethamate for cervical dilation during labor. It was a hospital based cross sectional study. Investigation was carried out in the form of questionnaire. All the consecutive patients who were in active stage of labor were included in the study. They were given Intravenous (IV) valethamate bromide 8mg and hyoscine butylbromide 20mg, 3 doses half an hour apart. After administration of the drug, the progress of labor was monitored and management was done as per protocol in obstetrics and gynaecology department. ADR reported were blurred vision in 47.7% of the patients, followed by dry mouth (36.9%) and tachycardia (19.2%). Other ADRs were nausea (6.2%), dizziness (3.8%), flushing (2.3%), vomiting (1.5%), fever (1.5%) and constipation (1.5%). No statistical significance was found when ADR was compared between the age group of 18-25 years and 26-35 years. Therefore, ADR reported were irrespective of the age of the patients and no life threatening or severe forms of ADR were seen with hyoscine and valethamate during cervical dilation.

Nasal obstruction, the most common presenting symptom in nasal and sinus disease, is defined as patient discomfort manifested as a sensation of insufficient airflow through the nose. Nasal septal deviation is the most common anatomical cause of nasal obstruction. Surgical correction of a deviated septum, nasal septoplasty, is the definitive treatment for septal deviation. Many studies have discussed about outcomes of septoplasty. However, there is limited published literature on nasal septoplasty and its outcome in Nepal. The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcome of septoplasty using Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) scale, a validated outcome instrument assessing quality of life (QoL) related to nasal obstruction. A total of 52 patients aged 18 years and above, with nasal obstruction at least for 3 months, undergoing septoplasty alone were included in the study. Baseline NOSE score was calculated a week before surgery. The patients were followed up after 3 months to record postoperative NOSE score. On statistical analysis, the mean NOSE scores before and 3 months after septoplasty were 45.58±21.38 and 8.46±8.37 respectively. The mean difference was 37.11± 21.22 and p value on paired t test was less than 0.001(highly significant). The mean differences of each component of the NOSE scale questionnaire were also found to be highly significant statistically with p values less than 0.001. Gender and age did not seem to affect the outcomes. In conclusion, NOSE scale is a valid, reliable and responsive instrument that is brief and easy to complete and has potential use for outcome studies in adults with nasal obstruction. This instrument showed that septoplasty, if done in properly selected patients, results in significant improvement in nasal obstruction and disease specific quality of life with high patient satisfaction.
