Pemanfaatan Teknologi Digital dalam Proses Alih Media Arsip Statis
Authors: Laksono Ridho
Published: May 2018

AbstractThis study aims to describe the use of digital technology in the transfer of media. Discussion includes the process of media transfer (digitization), supporting facilities and infrastructure, and the challenges that arise in this process.The methods used in this study are literature study and participant observation. Through the above method, there are several aspects that need to be considered in the transfer of textual archives. The first is supporting facilities, archive and archivist conditions. Second, the stages of digitization process include preparation, scanning, editing, and storing textual archives in the digital file format.Based on the analysis of the context of the use of digital technology in supporting the process of digitization, some hypotheses are drawn. First is the importance of maintaining the archive since it is still active, this is intended to facilitate the processing of the archives. Second, the problem of authenticity of the archive should be the concern of the creator and user. This is important to be discussed further because one of the reasons for preservation of static archives is the legal aspect it has. Third, the process of digitization must refer to Undang – Undang Nomer 43 Tahun 2009 Tentang Kearsipan and Peraturan Pemerintah Nomer 28 Tahun 2012 Tentang Pelaksanaan  Undang – Undang Nomer 43 Tahun 2009 Tentang Kearsipan. This reference relating to archive processing that should refer to the principle of the original order and the provenance.Keywords:  Archives, digitization IntisariKajian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan pemanfaatan teknologi digital dalam alih media arsip statis.

Authors: Martínez-Guerra E. , Cifuentes-Quintal M. E. , De Coss R.
Published: May 2018

Resumen. Desde su descubrimiento en 2004, el grafeno ha generado una gran expectativa para sustituir la tecnología actual basada en silicio. En este trabajo, discutimos de manera simple cuáles son las propiedades que sustentan esta expectativa. En particular, nos referimos a las propiedades electrónicas y de transporte que se pueden aprovechar en dispositivos de alta velocidad. Además, presentamos una comparación (teoría y experimento) de las cantidades físicas que deben ser controladas antes de diseñar esta clase de dispositivos: dispersión de energía, velocidad de Fermi y masa ciclotrónica. Finalmente, proyectamos algunas formas de modular estas cantidades.

Diálogo para el avance científico y tecnológico a la nanoescala
Authors: Delgado Gian Carlo , León Magaña Elena
Published: May 2018

La manera en la que se adquiere el prestigio de las disciplinas depende de su utilidad en el mundo real, situación que ha detonado, entre otras cuestiones, sistemas jerárquicos epistémicos. Esta situación se traduce en la exclusión, al menos relativa, de visiones del mundo, una marginación que forma parte del modo en el que hoy día se innova y se lanzan al mercado muchos de los productos y servicios, esto es, del mecanismo mediante el que ésos son socializados. Si bien ya desde hace varias décadas hay avances en el estudio y análisis sobre la lógica, estímulos, incertidumbre e implicaciones del avance científico y tecnológico, la exclusión de ciertas visiones y valores en la toma de decisiones, en distintos ámbitos, no sólo el político, sigue aún arraigado. Considerando lo anterior, se propone la necesidad de reinventar e incentivar el diálogo como instrumento clave para, por un lado, enfrentar la incertidumbre y la creciente complejidad tecnocientífica propia de principios del presente siglo, y por el otro lado, para abrir canales interdisciplinarios más robustos útiles para ampliar el ejercicio de repensar los objetivos mismos de la actividad tecnocientífica. Y es que conforme avanza y se torna más compleja la ciencia y la tecnología —léase tecnologías convergentes a la escala nanométrica—, todo en un contexto de necesidades sociales básicas aún sin resolver para el grueso de la población mundial, concluimos que es necesario apostar por un manejo socialmente responsable de la ciencia y la tecnología sobre la base de un amplio y genuino diálogo y consenso social.

Authors: Torres Quezada Celia
Published: May 2018

El proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje en asignaturas de primer año de la educación superior, se ha transformado en un desafío para los docentes universitarios. En el área Química, entender su lenguaje implica que los estudiantes manejen el vocabulario químico y los conceptos matemáticos requeridos que, de no tenerlos claros, serán una limitante al momento de tratar de resolver un problema químico.

Se propone integrar las relaciones química–matemática y química-lenguaje, mediante tutorías presenciales y virtuales, que apoyen el trabajo del docente y le den más sentido al aprendizaje de la Química. Se espera que la utilización de la plataforma “Aula Virtual”, contribuya al logro de los resultados de aprendizaje esperados, mediante actividades que articulen la Química con los conceptos de lenguaje y matemática.

Published: May 2018

This study aims to see the effect of visual thinking approach on improving students' mathematical connection ability. This is a quasi-experimental research with nonequivalent control group design. The sample is students on class VIII in Madrasah Tsanawiyah which is chosen by using purposive sampling technique. The research instruments used are a test of mathematical connection ability and an observation sheet. The results of the observations showed an increase in the activity of students and teachers in each meeting in the classroom that obtained learning by using visual thinking approach. The data of increased connection ability is not normally distributed, so the data analysis is done using U non-parametric test of Mann Whitney. From the data analysis, it can be concluded that there is no significant effect of learning by using visual thinking approach to students’ mathematical connection ability improvement.

Published: May 2018

Students’ spatial ability of MA Al-Hanif is very low. This is because the students rarely use mathematics learning media which helps learning process. One of learning media that can help imagination is Geogebra. This study aims to determine the improvement of mathematical spatial abilities of students with problem-based learning model assisted with Geogebra. The research method used is Classroom Action Research which implemented in 3 action cycles. Population in this study is students of class XI MA Al-Hanif in academic year 2016-2017, with sample as many as 17 people with Geometry course. The instrument used a matter of spatial ability test in each cycle, teacher and student observation sheet used in learning and student attitude questionnaire. The results showed that, by applying the learning model of problem-based learning problem assisted geogebra can improve spatial ability of the students. This is shown by the results of spatial ability tests in each cycle. In the cycle I, the classical absorption of students reaches 53%, the second cycle action goes up the classical absorption of 76% students and the third cycle action almost 82% of the classical absorption increases from the results of the study concluded that the problem-based learning model assisted geogebra can improve the students’ spatial ability. Furthermore, student and teacher activity toward geogebra assisted Problem-Based Learning model went run effectively and conducive. The response of students in geometry learning with Geogebra assisted problem-based learning model generally produces a positive impression.

Anticoncentration theorems for schemes showing a quantum speedup
Authors: Hangleiter Dominik , Bermejo-Vega Juan , Schwarz Martin , Eisert Jens
Published: May 2018

One of the main milestones in quantum information science is to realise quantum devices that exhibit an exponential computational advantage over classical ones without being universal quantum computers, a state of affairs dubbed quantum speedup, or sometimes "quantum computational supremacy". The known schemes heavily rely on mathematical assumptions that are plausible but unproven, prominently results on anticoncentration of random prescriptions. In this work, we aim at closing the gap by proving two anticoncentration theorems and accompanying hardness results, one for circuit-based schemes, the other for quantum quench-type schemes for quantum simulations. Compared to the few other known such results, these results give rise to a number of comparably simple, physically meaningful and resource-economical schemes showing a quantum speedup in one and two spatial dimensions. At the heart of the analysis are tools of unitary designs and random circuits that allow us to conclude that universal random circuits anticoncentrate as well as an embedding of known circuit-based schemes in a 2D translation-invariant architecture.

A SENSIBILIDADE SECULAR DA POLÍTICA BRASILEIRA
Authors: Dullo Eduardo , Quintanilha Rafael
Published: May 2018

A religião vem se consolidando como um tema de controvérsia e manifestação nas eleições brasileiras das últimas décadas. Apesar disso, os pesquisadores têm se mantido restritos aos agentes religiosos, ignorando a sua contraparte relacional, isto é, os agentes que questionam ou rejeitam a presença religiosa na política eleitoral. Este artigo pretende discutir as críticas feitas ao pertencimento religioso da candidata Marina Silva, sobretudo pela via do humor, como uma maneira de acesso à sensibilidade secular da política brasileira contemporânea. Uma das conclusões é a de que o conflito entre distintas comunidades morais pode ser melhor compreendido por meio do conceito de cismogênese, proposto por Bateson, e que esse conflito

mantém ativa a tensão dinâmica entre o religioso e o secular.

PENTECOSTAIS E MOVIMENTO LGBT NAS ELEIÇÕES PRESIDENCIAIS DE 2014
Authors: Trevisan Janine
Published: May 2018

O artigo realiza uma análise da presença pentecostal nas eleições

presidenciais de 2014, especialmente no que se refere ao confronto estabelecido com o movimento LGBT. O artigo está dividido em duas partes. Na primeira, para compreender o processo que repercutiu em 2014, analiso as ações do governo Lula (2003-2010) e do primeiro governo Dilma (2011-2014) para atender as demandas tanto do segmento evangélico quanto do movimento LGBT, buscando destacar o processo político pelo qual lideranças evangélicas ganharam espaço e força política a ponto de confrontar demandas de movimentos sociais, especialmente feministas e LGBT. A segunda parte analisa o primeiro turno das eleições presidenciais de 2014, explorando o caso da controversa alteração no programa da candidata Marina Silva (PSB) sobre as políticas para o segmento LGBT. O caso foi mblemático para demonstrar o crescente embate político entre lideranças pentecostais e lideranças em defesa dos direitos LGBT no Brasil.
ASSISTÊNCIA SOCIAL ESPÍRITA E CULTURA DA FILANTROPIA: APROXIMAÇÕES E DISTINÇÕES ENTRE CARIDADE E AÇÃO CIDADÃ
Authors: Decker Norberto
Published: May 2018

Por meio de trabalho de campo em duas instituições espíritas de Curitiba, Brasil, que desenvolvem atividades de assistência social, identifico os modos de agir, de pensar e de crer das instituições espíritas vinculadas à área de ação social com o objetivo de apreender a perspectiva dos diferentes agentes sociais envolvidos em atividades definidas como prática da caridade e da assistência social. Aponta a etnografia para um rumo que a ação social espírita vem tomando nas últimas duas décadas ao se apropriar do conceito de cidadania e relacioná-lo ao de caridade, na busca de se produzir novas formas de atuação social do Espiritismo, tais como a inserção deste em fóruns organizados pela sociedade civil e em conselhos do Estado. Atesta-se, assim, a ocorrência de uma reavaliação das funções sociais da religião

junto ao Estado na área das políticas sociais de combate à pobreza, indicando valores religiosos como uma das motivações de participação cidadã.

O artigo busca mostrar como artistas ligados à Renovação Carismática

Católica lidam com o tema da inculturação, buscando nas fontes da cultura de massa brasileira elementos para a composição de uma estética religiosa pop centrada na transmissão do Espírito Santo através das mídias. O exemplo tratado é o da cantora de axé cristão Jake, que, através de imagens, letras, acompanhamento musical e adoção da fala regional nordestina, se transforma na figura da baiana, procurando

assim produzir uma mensagem cristã brasileira e promover a diversificação interna do movimento carismático.
A CREMAÇÃO NA ITÁLIA E NA FRANÇA: REFLEXÕES SOBRE AS CAUSAS E IMPLICAÇÕES DE UMA REVOLUÇÃO RITUAL
Authors: Favole Adriano
Published: May 2018

O objetivo deste artigo é o de refletir sobre as razões e sobre as consequências da recente difusão da cremação na Itália e na França. São países que, sobretudo por suas tradições católicas, adotaram esta prática bem mais tarde que os Estados do norte europeu. Apesar do fato de que atualmente a Igreja consinta a cremação, o rito fúnebre católico ainda é pouco propenso a integrar formas de personificação da memória. Por esse motivo, a exigência de se construir novas formas de ritualidades fúnebres é mais sentida nesses países. A tese expressa na parte central do artigo é que hoje em dia a cremação não é mais uma escolha de rompimento, mas apresenta muitas conexões com as ideologias, as práticas e as concessões dos seres humanos difusas na sociedade ocidental. A parte final do artigo coloca algumas questões relativas às novas ritualísticas fúnebres, abrindo novos caminhos de pesquisa em torno das práticas de cremação.
O PROFETA, AS MULHERES, O DIABO: ETNOGRAFIA DO FRACASSO DE UMA IGREJA PENTECOSTAL AFRICANA NA FRANÇA
Authors: Mottier Damien
Published: May 2018

Este artigo propõe-se a resgatar, sob o ângulo da seduçãohomem/mulher (cruzando teorias do gênero e da antropologia de religiões), o primeiro estudo de caso feito sobre o fracasso da instalação de uma igreja pentecostal africana na França. A empreitada religiosa fracassada de um pastor-profeta canadense de origem

congolesa é analisada a partir de contradições internas da autoridade carismática invocada nessa igreja. O vocabulário das estruturas do parentesco espiritual, que servia para formalizar a hierarquia interna da assembleia, é instável, na medida em que a insegurança matrimonial dos fiéis coloca grande parte das filhas espirituais na posição de futuras esposas. A sedução exercida pelo pastor-profeta nunca é estranha ao funcionamento concreto da assembleia. Dois elementos vêm revelar essa instabilidade: uma acusação de bruxaria, feita por uma mulher contra outra, próxima ao pastor; e o segundo casamento do pastor, por conveniência, que desloca o parentesco espiritual, valorizando a autoridade do parentesco carnal. Apoiando-se

em uma descrição dos atores e dos acontecimentos, o artigo mostra os benefícios de uma etnografia do fracasso.

Engaging students through the VLE: comparing like with like using the #VLEIreland student survey
Authors: Raftery Damien , Risquez Angelica
Published: May 2018

Virtual learning environments (VLEs) provide the core infrastructure for the digital learning experiences for many students in Irish and international higher education institutions. Hence the student experience and voice offer an important perspective to understand to what extent this proves a strategic choice, and investment of institutional resources and lecturers’ time. However, surveys comparing a diversity of institutions at different moments in time offer serious methodological limitations to data analysis. In this paper, results of the #VLEIreland student survey are presented for four Irish higher education institutions, which were surveyed using the common questionnaire with 3,332 student responses in 2011 and 5,170 when the survey was repeated in 2013. To some extent, this allows us to analyse the data while relatively controlling for institutional influences. This snapshot of students’ use and perceptions at two points allow for tentative trends to be drawn as to any changing patterns over time. The comparison of results indicate a consistent finding of high frequency of use (with almost half using daily in the more recent findings). The VLE thus provides a stable base for sharing learning resources, managing assignments and student communications. The consistency of the findings indicate a certain maturity of use of the VLE, albeit with a continued emphasis on disseminating notes and other learning resources to students. As the student VLE experience is largely determined by their lecturers’ use, a continued emphasis on the development of digital capacity of lecturers (as well as students) is needed.
Ubiquitous mobile use: student perspectives on using the VLE on their phone
Authors: Raftery Damien
Published: May 2018

With the rapid increase in the use of smart phones (and other mobile devices), students in Irish and international higher education institutions are increasingly accessing virtual learning environments (VLEs) using their phones via an app or their browser. This brings both welcome flexibility for the students’ digital learning experiences and wider opportunities to support both asynchronous and synchronous learning in innovative ways. However challenges exist, initially regarding the functionality, user interface, reliability and speed of mobile use of the VLE (specifically via a VLE app as well as a phone browser) but also how best to empower students and lecturers to harness the potential benefits. This article explores the 2017 results of the #VLEIreland student survey in one higher education institution, expanded to include questions about student experiences of using a VLE app. Almost all students have smart phones, with the VLE app used by 7 in 10 students surveyed and, despite the many limitations of the VLE app, two-thirds found it useful. Student comments highlighted the benefits of notifications on the student’s phone and the convenience of easy, flexible access to the VLE. Barriers to the use of the VLE app included poor design and working of the app, and limitations of the student’s own phone. A major implication of increasing mobile access is that the VLE design needs to be more responsive for users, that the VLE itself be fully functional and user-friendly on smart phones and the challenges to design, develop and deliver a rich functional VLE app are met. There is potential for flexible mobile access to the VLE outside of class to be complemented by increased in-class use to enrich innovative approaches to engage learners. Increased mobile VLE usage has consequences for how lecturers use the VLE; they need to be conscious of this mobile use when designing, creating and using their VLE course as well as utilising appropriate digital pedagogies.
The Digital Turn: staff perceptions of the virtual learning environment and the implications for educational developers
Authors: Harding Nuala
Published: May 2018

Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) have become a critical part of the Higher Education (HE) learning, teaching and assessment environment over the past two d ecades. The study in this paper complements the longitudinal study designed by the #VLEIreland Project team to examine the key drivers and barriers for uptake and usage of an institutional VLE amongst students. There is a dearth of literature on VLE usage by staff in an Irish context. The findings of the #VLEIreland staff survey, presented in this paper, help us understand staff usage of technology tools including the VLE, and places this in a wider context. In 2014, the project team developed an electronic survey instrument to examine staff perceptions of the VLE and online learning tools. This collaborative study involved seven Irish HE institutes. There were 580 respondents to the electronic survey. Findings show lack of time as a considerable barrier to staff usage of the VLE and that staff usage is primarily for distribution of resources, communication and assignment submission. However, insights can also be gleaned from the data to assist educational developers when designing appropriate interventions for the development needs of staff. When considered in conjunction with findings from student data, the common misconceptions about VLE usage can be addressed including a negative impact on attendance and over-reliance on lecturers. In addition, consideration for the professionalisation of teaching in terms of digital literacy and technological skills is considered of vital importance to empower staff in the era of the digital turn.
Unlocking First Nations health information through data linkage
Authors: Walker Jennifer , Pyper Evelyn , Jones Carmen R , Khan Saba , Chong Nelson , Legge Dan , Schull Michael J , Henry David
Published: May 2018

IntroductionThe importance of Indigenous data sovereignty and Indigenous-led research processes is increasingly being recognized in Canada and internationally. For First Nations in Ontario, Canada, access to routinely-collected demographic and health systems data is critical to planning and measuring health status and outcomes in their populations. Linkage of this data with the Indian Register (IR), under First Nations data governance, has unlocked data for use by First Nations organizations and communities.

ObjectivesTo describe the linkage of the IR database to the Ontario Registered Persons Database (RPDB) within the context of Indigenous data sovereignty principles. 

MethodsDeterministic and probabilistic record linkage methods were used to link the IR to the RPDB. There is no established population of First Nations people living in Ontario with which we could establish a linkage rate. Accordingly, several approaches were taken to determine a denominator that would represent the total population of First Nations we would hope to link to the RPDB. 

ResultsOverall, 201,678 individuals in the national IR database matched to Ontario health records by way of the RPDB, of which 98,562 were female and 103,116 were male. Of those First Nations individuals linked to the RPDB, 90.2% (n=181,915) lived in Ontario when they first registered with IR, or were affiliated with an Ontario First Nation Community. The proportion of registered First Nations people linking to the RPDB improved across time, from 62.8% in the 1960s to 94.5% in 2012.

Conclusions This linkage of the IR and RPDB has resulted in the creation of the largest First Nations health research study cohort in Canada. The linked data are being used by First Nations communities to answer questions that ultimately promote wellbeing, effective policy, and healing.
Satisfacción del cliente con la actividad comercial de los mercados públicos de la Heroica Ciudad de Huajuapan de León, Oaxaca / Customer satisfaction with the commercial activity of the public markets of the Heroica Ciudad de Huajuapan de León, Oaxaca
Authors: Rosales Reyes Perseo , Maya Espinoza Ivonne
Published: May 2018

Los locatarios de los mercados públicos municipales, así como los pequeños comerciantes de la Heroica Ciudad de Huajuapan de León, Oaxaca, habitualmente se quejan por la irregularidad en sus ventas y responsabilizan de esta situación a la competencia, leal o desleal, que deben enfrentar diariamente con el comercio ambulante y los supermercados de las zonas aledañas.    Sin embargo, no se suele tomar en cuenta que esta situación también pudiera ser causada por el nivel de insatisfacción de los clientes con el servicio que se les ofrece. Por tal motivo, el objetivo de esta investigación fue profundizar en las raíces de esta problemática a través de la opinión de los clientes que frecuentan los principales mercados públicos de la mencionada ciudad. Para ello, se realizó una encuesta in situ con clientes localizados en las salidas de los mercados públicos municipales Porfirio Díaz e Ignacio Zaragoza. Las dimensiones estudiadas fueron las siguientes: a) elementos tangibles: apariencia de las instalaciones físicas, equipos, personal y materiales de comunicación, b) fiabilidad: habilidad para realizar el servicio prometido de forma fiable y cuidadosa, c) capacidad de respuesta: disposición y voluntad para ayudar a los clientes y proporcionar un servicio rápido, d) seguridad: conocimientos y atención mostrados por los dueños y encargados, así como sus habilidades para inspirar credibilidad y confianza, y e) empatía: atención individualizada al cliente. Los resultados demuestran que los supermercados y los vendedores ambulantes son opciones de compra complementaria para las personas, de modo que no están desplazando a los mercados públicos municipales. Sin embargo, se detectaron que estos establecimientos tienen algunas desventajas para los clientes relacionadas con las medidas de seguridad, la carencia de limpieza, el desorden que existe, así como la falta de comunicación y publicidad. Esto significa que los mercados públicos deben perfeccionar todos los aspectos de su servicio, específicamente lo relacionado con la empatía. Asimismo, trabajar más en los elementos tangibles, inspirar mayor seguridad a su clientela y reforzar la fiabilidad y la capacidad de respuesta.

Authors: Sari Sri Adelila , Prawoto Agung
Published: May 2018

Activity of students is very important and need to be considered by the teacher to get the optimal results, especially in chemistry subjects.Chemistry subjects are difficult for students because they are abstract and complicated, such as colloids material. So that, additional information is needed to make the abstract material into concrete and complex become more obvious. Proper use of media is a way to increase students' understanding of colloids. In order to students quickly understand the concept of colloids and activities of students to be better, therefore a teacher is required to choose and make a learning media.This study was aimed to describe learning activities of students using innovative developed pop-up book on colloids. The development method used was research and development (R & D) through ADDIE model. Subjects in this study were thirty one of senior high school students from grade XI, SMAN 4 Banda Aceh which were taken by purposive sampling. Data of students’ activities were collected using observation sheet. Besides that, the eligibility of developed pop-up book was measured using questionnaire which was filled by expert validators. Results showed that the eligibility of pop-up book was found to be 73.50 percent belong to the category of decent. In addition, the learning activities were found to be increased from 76.21 to 86.25 percent from first meeting to second meeting, respectively. It concluded that the learning activities of students using developed innovative pop-up book on colloids material were very good.
Effectiveness assertive training on discipline of learning in junior high school
Authors: Dewantari Tri , Izzaty Rita Eka
Published: May 2018

Discipline in learning is the obedience of students in the implementation of learning. In fact, in schools there are still students who are not in accordance with the rules of the class, do no work, come to school not on time.

As a science, guidance and counseling has become a helping profession that has been approved by society in the world, especially in academic and practical profession. In the begining, counseling was growth and developed in America which concern in how to place someone qualified with one work, this focus was to make a career decision through a counseling interview and assessmen, and also growth to help people to make decision and learn something new about them self in theraputic process, with psychological threatment and technique. As a multidicipliner science, counseling more flexible than any other dicipline. But in this 21 century counseling as a profession that has been challenges by something that must admit and counselor must know about this, such counseling multicultural, indigineous science that become an interesting subject, counseling has a value contract or not?, and counseling to educate and make client learn something or something that client found by them self? With liberate counseling?. This article will discuss more further about paradigm of guidance and counseling profession with point of view a philosophy and professional challenges in the future that must be understanding and face in the future without lose our cultural and religion values.

The purpose of this study is to investigate International postgraduate perceptions of difficulty with academic writing in Malaysian public universities. This research employed survey and semi-structured interview to collect data. A survey was used to collect demographic data and students’ perceptions of difficulties in general writing and language-related skills. The results revealed that students had a positive attitude towards academic writing; however, they were not well-prepared in terms of academic writing skills in their home country. Moreover, students perceived greater difficulty with language related problems than general writing skills.  This study implied that international postgraduate students who graduated from non-English medium instruction universities should be supported in terms of general writing and language related skills through computer-assisted writing instruction to be autonomous writers.

Background

Declines in the ability to rapidly generate quadriceps muscle torque may underlie disability in individuals with tibiofemoral osteoarthritis.

Objective

To determine whether quadriceps rate of torque development (RTD) predicts self-reported disability and physical performance outcomes in individuals with tibiofemoral osteoarthritis.

Methods

This controlled laboratory, cross-sectional study assessed quadriceps strength and RTD in 76 individuals (55% female; mean ± SD age, 61.83 ± 7.11 years) with symptomatic and radiographic tibiofemoral osteoarthritis. Early (0–50 milliseconds), late (100–200 milliseconds), and overall peak RTDs were quantified in the symptomatic (involved) and contralateral limbs and used to calculate bilateral average values. Disability was assessed using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) function subscale and 3 physical performance tests, including the (1) 20-m fast-paced walk, (2) 30-second chair stand, and (3) timed stair climb. Separate univariate regression models were used to determine the unique associations among measures of quadriceps RTD, WOMAC function score, and physical performance outcomes after accounting for quadriceps strength (change in R2).

Results

Greater involved-side late RTD and greater bilateral average early RTD were associated with faster walking (change in R2 = 0.05, P = .013 and change in R2 = 0.05, P = .043, respectively). Greater bilateral average late RTD was associated with faster walking (change in R2 = 0.20, P<.001) and faster stair climb (change in R2 = 0.11, P = .001). No quadriceps RTD variable was significantly associated with WOMAC function score (change in R2 range, <0.01–0.017).

Conclusion

Involved-limb quadriceps RTD was weakly associated with physical performance outcomes, but not self-reported disability, in individuals with tibiofemoral osteoarthritis. Bilateral average quadriceps RTD was moderately associated with walking speed.

Published: May 2018

Background

Musculoskeletal injuries during military service are a primary source of disability, resulting in 2.4 million annual health care visits and 25 million limited-duty days. While the injury incidence during basic training is well documented, there is little understanding of injury distribution by organization type in the US Army following initial training.

Objective

To compare injury incidence, distribution, and impact across various military units.

Methods

In this prospective observational cohort study, comprehensive injury data from subject questionnaires and medical chart reviews were collected over 12 months for 1430 initially healthy Army personnel, representing combat, combat support, combat service support, and ranger units. Health care utilization and time loss due to injury were also collected.

Results

Of 1430 soldiers, 481 (33.6%) had time-loss injury, 222 (15.5%) were injured without limited work, 60 (4.2%) reported an injury but did not seek medical care, and 667 (46.6%) were uninjured. Across the whole sample, injuries were responsible for 5.9 ±14.4 medical visits per soldier, 21 902 days of limited work, and $1 337 000 ($1901 ± $6535 per soldier) in medical costs. Considering only those reporting injury, each person averaged 36.3 ± 59.7 limited-work days. The injury incidence was highest in combat service support units (65.6%), with a risk ratio 1.60 times that of the reference group (combat, 41.1%).

Conclusion

Combat support and combat service support personnel were more likely to have 1 or more injuries compared to rangers and combat personnel. The higher relative risk of injury in support units should be explored further. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2018;48(10):749–757. Epub 22 May 2018. doi:10.2519/jospt.2018.7979

Published: May 2018

Background

The impact of risk adjustment on clinic quality ranking for patients treated in physical therapy outpatient clinics is unknown.

Objectives

To compare clinic ranking, based on unadjusted versus risk-adjusted outcomes for patients with low back pain (LBP) who are treated in physical therapy outpatient clinics.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study involved a secondary analysis of data from adult patients with LBP treated in outpatient physical therapy clinics from 2014 to 2016. Patients with complete outcomes data at admission and discharge were included to develop the risk-adjustment model. Clinics with complete outcomes data for at least 50% of patients and at least 10 complete episodes of care per clinician per year were included for ranking assessment. The R2 shrinkage and predictive ratio were used to assess overfitting. Agreement between unadjusted and adjusted rankings was assessed with percentile ranking by deciles or 3 distinct quality ranks based on uncertainty assessment.

Results

The primary sample included 414 125 patients (mean ± SD age, 57 ± 17 years; 60% women) treated by 12 569 clinicians from 3048 clinics from all US states; 82% of patients from 2107 clinics were included in the ranking assessment. The R2 shrinkage was less than 1%, with a predictive ratio of 1. Risk adjustment impacted ranking for 70% or 31% of clinics, based on deciles or 3 distinct quality levels, respectively.

Conclusion

Important changes in ranking were found after adjusting for basic patient characteristics of those admitted to physical therapy for treatment of LBP. Risk-adjustment profiling is necessary to more accurately reflect quality of care when treating patients with LBP.
