Upgrading of educational programs: methodical aspects of the modern approach to the formulation of learning results
Authors: Khalina V. , Syrovatskyi O.
Published: June 2021

The quality of higher education in Ukraine today reaches a new level and this is facilitated by a number of factors: the European vector of development of the country as a whole, the adoption of new, harmonized with European standards, legislation, the emergence of a new paradigm for assessing the quality of educational programs. criteria, which makes it possible to move away from a formalized approach to the educational process as a whole and make it exclusively student-centered and, importantly, customer-oriented, like any service.

Student-centeredness is important, first of all, for identifying needs, which will then become learning objectives, and later on the learning outcomes of higher education students.

That is why, in order to improve the quality of educational programs, the most important role should be given to properly formulated learning outcomes, the process of their acquisition and assessment methods. After all, all this, in the end, gives the final integrated result – a quality specialist, competitive in the labor market and capable of retraining.

The essence of learning outcomes and their difference from a number of other concepts, types and the author's vision of the structure are presented in this study. A methodical approach to their formulation is presented, which is based on the hierarchy of the cognitive process and constructive coordination of the triad of components: learning outcomes, learning activities and assessment methods.

In addition, a clear understanding of learning outcomes helps teachers to improve curricula and make all assessment materials and tools most relevant to achieving certain learning outcomes, and helps students to optimally plan their learning and assess their own learning progress.

It is proved that the learning outcomes of higher education students are a crucial criterion for assessing the quality of the educational program, and stressed the need for a gradual departure from state standards of specialties, within the academic independence of higher education institutions to ensure more free formulation of learning outcomes as a factor in increasing the quality of educational services.

Published: June 2021

It is noted that in modern conditions the issue of online education development in Ukraine has become especially acute, in particular, in the development of a long-term program to improve secondary and higher online education and ensure its new level of quality. The article is devoted to determining the need for distance and online education, the differences between them, the necessary forms of communication, the advantages and disadvantages of these forms of education, as well as prospects for distance and online education in Ukraine. It has been identified that online and distance education is viable and effective teaching strategies, but each has its own clear advantages and disadvantages for both teachers and students. The article proves that there are the following differences between these types of education: the location of the teacher and students; interaction between teacher and students; intention of teaching strategy. The authors list the advantages of distance education: distance education can continue without interruption, even in cases such as emergencies or the COVID-19 pandemic; distance education provides more flexibility for students to work at their own pace and review assignments as needed. The article summarizes the main forms of online communication between students and teachers - video conferencing, forum, chat, blog, etc. In addition, the most common web resources for distance education: Moodle, Google Classroom, Zoom and others. The problems that arise in the implementation of distance education have been identified: it is impossible to use distance education if students do not have access to devices or the Internet at home; it is difficult to keep a real contribution of the student to the work; distance education can make falsification even easier than online education; distance education can lead to even more screen time for students. It was concluded that the use of the Internet in teaching is necessary both for teachers who seek to offer their students different ways of learning, and for the students themselves. It has been proven that distance education is most useful for those students who have constant access to technology at home and work responsibly and independently, and it has a clear advantage in the event of an unexpected restriction of classes in the free economic zone.

La cuestión de la infravivienda, un estudio de caso en la ciudad de Barcelona
Authors: Cornadó Còssima , Garcia-Almiral Pilar , Casals Jordi , Caballero Amaya
Published: June 2021

El concepto de infravivienda puede variar notablemente dependiendo del contexto urbano y social de cada lugar, éste se suele referir a aquel tipo de edificación y/o vivienda cuyos niveles de habitabilidad se encuentran por debajo de unos estándares mínimos establecidos, generalmente, en textos normativos. Su aparición a menudo va asociada a procesos de urbanización irregulares y al uso de vivienda de espacios no concebidos para ello, relacionándose, a menudo con situaciones de vulnerabilidad socioresidencial. El caso que aquí se presenta se centra en el barrio del Carmel en Barcelona, caracterizado por un crecimiento urbano en pendiente y la sospecha de la existencia situaciones de infravivienda. Se plantean como objetivos profundizar en el conocimiento de las condiciones de habitabilidad y estado de conservación de las viviendas del barrio para realizar un diagnóstico global de él. Para ello se diseña y emplea una metodología de estudio basada en una combinación de explotación de datos a partir de indicadores y campañas in situ. Los resultados permiten la detección de situaciones de infravivienda, la caracterización de las principales situaciones que la provocan y la categorización y priorización en la necesidad de actuación e intervención por parte de programas públicos de ayuda a la rehabilitación.

Renovación urbana mediante relocalización de asentamientos populares en San Miguel de Tucumán. El caso de Villa Piolín y El Triangulito
Authors: Cichero Pilar , Gómez López Claudia
Published: June 2021

El rol del Estado como controlador del crecimiento y desarrollo de nuestras ciudades es fundamental para corregir los desequilibrios que se producen en el mercado de suelo. En este sentido, las políticas públicas cumplen un papel primordial al ser utilizadas ya sea para corregir estos desequilibrios que se producen en el devenir urbano o para exacerbarlos aún más. En este artículo se estudian dos relocalizaciones de asentamientos populares en el Área Metropolitana de Tucumán (AMET de Tucumán), realizados en el marco del Programa Federal de Urbanización de Villas y Asentamientos Precarios de la Nación, ejecutado por el Instituto Provincial de la Vivienda conjuntamente con la municipalidad de San Miguel de Tucumán. A través de un análisis diacrónico de los usos del suelo, se evalúa el desarrollo de ambas intervenciones urbanísticas para tratar de develar quiénes fueron los beneficiarios de dicha operación.
Vulnerabilidad urbana en asentamientos informales de Ushuaia. Una aproximación analítico-comparativa desde la mirada de distintos actores
Authors: Fank Lucía
Published: June 2021

Existen múltiples desventajas asociadas a la informalidad urbana que inciden negativamente en las condiciones de vida de los habitantes y generan distintas situaciones de vulnerabilidad. El presente trabajo propone definir el grado y la composición de la vulnerabilidad urbana en asentamientos informales de la ciudad de Ushuaia, Argentina, desde un enfoque comparativo y multi-actoral. Para ello se aplica un índice que incorpora la integralidad de las problemáticas existentes, ponderadas según tres grupos de actores: referentes barriales, gobierno local y la academia especializada. Los resultados muestran que el nivel de vulnerabilidad urbana es mayor en asentamientos nuevos que en el resto de la ciudad, y que su composición varía según el caso y la mirada de los distintos actores. El análisis presentado constituye un insumo básico para la formulación de políticas públicas adecuadas e integrales para la atención de la informalidad urbana, y permite establecer criterios de priorización en futuros abordajes territoriales.
Impacto del diseño de modelos urbanos públicos y privados sobre la respuesta térmica del sector de piedemonte. El caso del Área Metropolitana de Mendoza, Argentina
Authors: Castillo Ana Laura , Correa Erica , Cantón María Alicia
Published: June 2021

La urbanización del piedemonte del Área Metropolitana de Mendoza ha generado una diversidad de impactos negativos sobre el territorio modificando sus condiciones naturales. Estos impactos provocaron un aumento de las superficies de absorción y retención de la radiación solar, promovieron la intensificación de la Isla de Calor Urbano (ICU) y generaron focos de ICU satélite. Este trabajo propone realizar un análisis comparativo de esquemas urbanos de origen público y privado mediante la simulación de sus comportamientos térmicos. Esto permitió identificar la relación entre el diseño de estos esquemas y su impacto en el comportamiento micro-climático del área. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que la estrategia de mayor impacto es el control de la radiación solar. En este sentido, variables de diseño como el ancho de los canales viales y la permeabilidad de los forestales, asociadas a la tipología y orientación de la trama impactan significativamente en la respuesta térmica del conjunto.
Assessment of oxidative status and inflammation in patients with arterial hypertension and subclinical hypothyroidism and their relationship to aging rates
Authors: Radchenko A. O. , Kolesnikova O. V.
Published: June 2021

Objective — to assess the oxidative status and severity of inflammatory processes in patients with hypertension (AH) and subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) and their relationship to the rate of aging.

Materials and methods. 98 patients (38 men and 61 women) of young and middle age with a median age of 48.3 years were examined. All patients were divided into 3 groups: controls — healthy volunteers (n = 20), comparison group — euthyroid patients with AH and signs of autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) (n = 36); main group — patients with AH and SH with signs of AIT (n = 42). Thyroid parameters, markers of oxidative stress (total superoxide dismutase, T‑SOD, total antioxidant activity, TAA, total hydroperoxides, THP), inflammatory markers (C‑reactive protein, SRP, tumor necrosis factor‑alpha, TNF‑a) were evaluated in all patients. The rate of aging was determined by estimating the biological age and age delta according to the methods of A. G. Gorelkin, B. B. Pinhasov (BA1, dBA1 respectively) and V. P. Voitenko (BA2, dBA2, respectively), as well as by determining the content of sirtuin 1 (SIRT1).

Results. Significant differences were found between the controls and the comparison group in the rate of aging by both methods (p < 0.05), between the control and the main group in the levels of CRP (p = 0.000), TNF‑a (p = 0.000), aging rates by both methods (p < 0.05), as well as between the comparison and the main groups in the values of CRP (p = 0.001), TNF‑a (p = 0.000), THP (p = 0.041), T‑SOD (p = 0.048), SIRT1 (p = 0.001), dBA2 (p = 0.030). Correlation analysis revealed a significant (p < 0.05) direct relationship between the rate of aging and the level of CRP, free thyroxine, THP, THP/TAA index, and the inverse relationship between the rate of aging and T‑SOD, TAA in the comparison group. A significant direct relationship (p < 0.05) between CRP and BA1, a direct relationship between TNF‑a and thyroid‑stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and a direct association of T‑SOD with TSH and inverse one with BA1 were found in the main group.

Conclusions. Patients with AH have a decrease in the rate of aging and a significant increase in SIRT1 compared with euthyroid patients with AH, that indicates a probable association with a slowing of aging rates. A significant increase in THP and a decrease in and T‑SOD levels, along with the presence of a connection with TSH and BA1, indicates a violation of redox processes in this category of patients and its association with aging rates. Patients with AH and SH also showed signs of metabolic inflammation, which was confirmed by a significant increase in the levels of TNF‑a, CRP, as well as by the presence of a direct link between TNF‑a and TSH. BA and aging rates increased with increasing CRP levels in euthyroid patients with AH, but no association between CRP and TSH was observed.

Perkembangan penafsiran Alkitab pada masa kini semakin mengalami kemajuan yang pesat, oleh karena upaya mencari tahu makna merupakan inti kehidupan manusia. Karena kemajuan tersebut maka hal memberikan dampak positif dan negatif dalam dunia penafsiran Alkitab. Dampak positifnya adalah banyak nilai-nilai kebenaran yang duluh tidak dipahami mulai bermunculan satu per satu dan dampak negatifnya adalah kemajuan penafsiran Alkitab akhirnya hilang Batasan. Seperti adanya metode penafsiran Higher Critism yang menjadikan Alkitab seperti buku lain yang nilainya lebih rendah dari Kitab Suci yang tidak lagi diyakini sebagai Firman. Akitab kini disejajarkan dengan buku biasa, bahkan sepertinya Alkitab tidak memiliki otoritas lagi sebagai Firman Allah dan tak jarang banyak orang yang mengkritik bahwa mitos dalam kitab Injil hanya sekedar mitos yang tidak memiliki otoritas sebagai kebenaran. Hal ini tentu menjadi tantangan bagi kekristenan saat ini. Memiliki sikap yang tegas sangat diperlukan dalam menghadapi pergerakan penafsiran tersebut. Sebagai orang Kristen kita tentu harus memiliki kekuatan untuk menangkis berbagai tuduhan yang merendahkan otoritas Alkitab, yakni kiritik terhadap Alkitab yang meragukan pengilhaman dan pewahyuan penulisan kitab suci secara khusus dalam kitab Injil yang menjadi pokok utama pembahasan makalah ini.

Konsep mengenai Kerajaan Allah dijelaskan dalam perjanjian baru, baik yang terdapat dalam kitab Injil maupun kitab-kitab lain yang ditulis oleh Rasul Paulus terhadap beberapa Jemaat. Jika dilihat dalam kitab Perjanjian Baru, konsep tentang kerajaan Allah seringkali ada teks yang saling bertentangan. Namun, sebenarnya jika seorang ahli telah meneliti lebih dalam mengenai konsep tentang kerajaan Allah itu maka sebenarnya tidak ada ayat atau bagian dalam teks Perjanjian Baru yang saling bertentangan. Tetapi justru saling melengkapi dan saling mendukung. Konsep Kerajaan Allah menjadi bahan diskusi yang besar dalam kelas-kelas teologi Kristen. Dari sinilah kita dapat mengidentifikasikan bahwa memang perlu tema ini diperhatikan secara serius dalam studi Perjanjian Baru kapanpun dan dimanapun, supaya dapat memberikan jawaban-jawaban terhadap berbagai pertanyaan yang diajukan oleh beberapa orang mengenai Kerajaan Allah.

The present paper highlights how alcohol use disorder (AUD) conceptualizations and resulting diagnostic criteria have evolved over time in correspondence with interconnected sociopolitical influences in the United States. We highlight four illustrative examples of how DSM-defined alcoholism, abuse/dependence, and AUD have been influenced by sociopolitical factors. In doing so, we emphasize the importance of recognizing and understanding such sociopolitical factors in the application of AUD diagnoses. Last, we offer a roadmap to direct the process of future efforts toward the improved diagnosis of AUD, with an emphasis on pursuing falsifiability, acknowledging researchers’ assumptions about human behavior, and collaborating across subfields. Such efforts that center the numerous mechanisms and functions of behavior, rather than signs or symptoms, have the potential to minimize sociopolitical influences in the development of diagnostic criteria and maximize the treatment utility of diagnoses.

Background: Oxytocin is hypothesized to promote positive social interactions by enhancing the salience of social stimuli, which may be reflected by altered amygdala activation. While previous neuroimaging studies have reported that oxytocin enhances amygdala activation to emotional face stimuli in autistic men, effects in autistic women remain unclear. Methods: The influence of intranasal oxytocin on neural response to emotional faces vs. shapes were tested in 16 autistic and 21 non-autistic women by fMRI in a placebo-controlled, within-subjects, cross-over design. Effects of group (autistic vs. non-autistic) and drug condition (oxytocin vs. placebo) on the activation and functional connectivity of the basolateral amygdala, the brain’s “salience detector”, were assessed. Relationships between individual differences in autistic-like traits, social anxiety, salivary oxytocin levels, and amygdala activation were also explored.Results: Autistic and non-autistic women showed minimal activation differences in the placebo condition. Significant drug × group interactions were observed for both amygdala activation and functional connectivity. Oxytocin increased left basolateral amygdala activation among autistic women (35 voxel cluster, MNI coordinates of peak voxel = -22 -10 -28; mean change=+0.079%, t=3.159, ptukey=0.0166), but not non-autistic women (mean change =+0.003%, t=0.153, ptukey=0.999). Furthermore, oxytocin increased functional connectivity of the right basolateral amygdala with brain regions associated with socio-emotional information processing in autistic women, but not non-autistic women, thereby attenuating group connectivity differences observed in the placebo condition. Conclusions: This work demonstrates that intranasal oxytocin increases basolateral amygdala activation and connectivity in autistic women while processing emotional faces, which extends and specifies previous findings in autistic men.
Yesus dan Ilmu Logika: Metode Pengajaran Yesus dalam menggunakan Ilmu logika
Authors: Bangri' Rensi Arnice
Published: June 2021

Yang di maksud dengan metode sering disebut dengan teknik. Untuk mencapai suatu tujuan maka seseorang memakai metode (teknik) tertentu. Metode hanya merupakan alat dan sarana untuk mencapai tujuan. Demikian juga Yesus menggunakan seluruh kehidupan-Nya untuk mengadakan pendekatan mengajar bagi murid-murid-Nya. Boehlke menyatakan: “suaran-Nya, air muka-Nya, gerak-gerik-Nya, sikap-Nya terhadap para pendengar semuanya itu untuk menarik perhatian orang banyak. Rupahnya terdapat juga suatu suatu dalam nada suara-Nya yang menimbulkan kepercayaan dalam diri mereka. Apa yang diungkapkan-Nya dapat dipercaya. Para murid yang memenaggil Yesus sebagai guru dibenarkan oleh Tuhan Yesus (Yoh. 13:13). Yesus yang adalah guru yang Agung menggunakan pengarajan yang begitu luar biasa sehingga tanpa diminta banyak orang selalu berbondong-bongong mengikutiNya. Hal ini membuktikan bahwa Yesus menggunakan metode yang menarik sehingga banyak orang selalu mengikuti Dia dan takjub akan pengajaran-Nya (Mrk. 1:22, 12:37). Keahlihan-Nya sebagaiseorang Guru diperhatikan dan dipuji oleh orang Yahudi sehingga dengan sendirinya mereka menyebut Yeus sebagai “Rabi”. Ini menjadi sebuah gelar kehormatan yanghendak menyatakan bahwa betapa Ia di segani di kagumi oleh orang sebangsaNya sebagai pengajar yang mahir
Skillful decadal prediction of unforced southern European summer temperature variations
Authors: Borchert Leonard , Koul Vimal , Menary Matthew , Befort Daniel , Swingedouw Didier , Sgubin Giovanni , Mignot Juliette
Published: June 2021

We assess the capability of decadal prediction simulations from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 6 (CMIP6) archive to predict European summer temperature during the period 1970-2014. Using a multi-model ensemble average, we show that Southern European (SEU) summer temperatures are highly predictable for up to 10 years in CMIP6. Much of this predictive skill, is related to the externally forced response: historical simulations explain about 90% of observed SEU summer temperature variance. Prediction skill for the unforced signal of SEU summer temperature is low: initialized model simulations explain less than 10% of observed variance after removing the externally forced response. An observed link between unforced SEU summer temperature and preceding spring Eastern North Atlantic - Mediterranean sea surface temperature (SST) motivates the application of a dynamical-statistical model to overcome the low summer temperature skill over Europe. This dynamical-statistical model uses dynamical spring SST predictions to predict European summer temperature, and significantly increases decadal prediction skill of unforced European summer temperature variations, showing significant prediction skill for unforced Southern European summer temperature 2-9 years ahead. As a result, dynamical-statistical models can benefit the decadal prediction of variables with initially limited skill beyond the forcing, such as summer temperature over Europe.
Rift kinematics preserved in deep-time erosional landscape below the northern North Sea

Published: June 2021

Our understanding of continental rifting is largely derived from the stratigraphic record. This archive is, however, incomplete as it does not capture the geomorphic and erosional record of rifting. New 3D seismic reflection data reveals a Late Permian-Early Triassic landscape incised into the pre-rift basement of the northern North Sea. This landscape, which covers at least 542 km2, preserves a drainage system bound by two major tectonic faults. A quantitative geomorphic analysis of the drainage system reveals 68 catchments, with channel steepness and knickpoint analysis of catchment-hosted paleo-rivers showing that the landscape preserved a >2 Myrs long period of transient tectonics. We interpret that this landscape records punctuated uplift of the footwall of a major rift-related normal fault at the onset of rifting. The landscape was preserved by a combination of relatively rapid subsidence in the hangingwall of a younger fault and burial by post-incision sediments. We show how and why erosional landscapes are preserved in the stratigraphic record, and how they can help us understand the tectono-stratigraphic evolution of ancient continental rifts.

We present new Late Pleistocene-Holocene shortening rates across the frontal fold-and-thrust belt, namely as, the Sub-Himalaya (SH) from the far-western Himalayan sector of Jammu. OSL-dated offset/ folded fluvial strath terraces suggest that the intraplate convergence is partitioned among several active structures in the SH. Estimated cumulative Late Pleistocene- Holocene shortening rate in the SH is ~9.5±1.3 mm/yr, which is ~70–75% of the measured geodetic convergence rates. Our study invokes the existence of a ~350–400 km-long out-of-sequence fault-boundary within the SH which accommodates ~5.3±2.3 mm/yr shortening since Late Pleistocene-Holocene. Our study also highlights that ongoing crustal shortening is not accommodated only at the toe of the Himalayan wedge.
R-package netglm - generalized linear models for network data
Authors: Elmer Timon
Published: June 2021

The netglm R-package estimates generalized linear models for network data based on the Multiple Regression Quadratic Assignment Procedure (MRQAP; Krackhardt, 1988). This package allows to investigate associations between characteristics of dyads in networks (e.g., the level of homophily between two actors) and a binary or continuous tie variable (e.g., friendship, amount of time spent together). One unique feature of this package is that it allows to estimate multi-group MRQAP models, where multiple networks are analyzed simultaneously (e.g., networks of multiple classrooms). Furthermore, parallel processing is implemented.

Heavy Crisis, New Perspectives? Investigating the role of Consumption, Time Wealth and Meaning Construction during countrywide Covid-19 lockdown in Germany
Authors: Hüppauff Tilmann Levi , Richter Nadine , Hunecke Marcel
Published: June 2021

The Covid-19 pandemic profoundly changed the way we live and consume. One open ques-tion is whether the crisis provides an opportunity to increase alternatives to materialistic con-sumption. We characterize these alternatives as sustainable leisure behaviour. In this context, Time Wealth and Meaning Construction in the form of Life Reflection might be important variables. In our study we aimed: (i) To investigate changes in behaviour frequency of con-sumption and sustainable leisure before and during lockdown. (ii) Analyse how potential changes in behaviours are appraised and if there are intentions to keep changed behaviour fre-quencies. (iii) Analyse whether Time Wealth and Life Reflection can be related to reduced consumption behaviours and increased sustainable leisure behaviours during lockdown.We collected data from 947 participants in a Germany-wide online survey using questionnaires. Participants reported behaviour frequency of consumption and sustainable leisure before and during lockdown. In cases where behaviour frequencies changed participants evaluated this change and indicated future intentions.Main findings: (i) Pairwise t-tests revealed reduced consumption behaviour in Electronics and Clothes. All sustainable leisure behaviours increased during lockdown. (ii) The increase of sustainable behaviour was positively correlated with evaluation and future intentions and we found mixed results concerning consumption behaviour. (iii) In multiple regression analysis, Time Wealth was positively related to sustainable leisure behaviours as well as Life Reflection except for Outdoor Activities. Explorative analysis revealed small but significant positive correlations of sustainable leisure behaviours with Life Satisfaction and Presence of Meaning.In section 4.3 we discuss how findings can inform future actions towards sustainability.
Weight location moderates weight-based self-devaluation and perceived social devaluation in women

Overweight and obese (“heavyweight”) people devalue themselves because, it has been proposed, they are socially devalued. However, for women, social valuation depends not only on how much weight they carry but where on their bodies they carry it. Here, we investigate whether weight-based self-valuation and perceived social valuation also depend on body shape. Study 1, using a nationally-representative sample from NHANES (N=1,093 reproductively-aged women), showed that, controlling for body fat, weight labeling (by self and others) and wanting to lose weight depended on weight location. Study 2, in a direct test of predictions using an undergraduate sample of women (N=215), showed that with increased body fat, women with an abdominal weight distribution reported more self-devaluation (e.g., lower self-esteem) and perceived social devaluation (e.g., higher perceived weight discrimination); women with a gluteofemoral weight distribution, however, were shielded—partially or fully—from these adverse effects of increased body fat.

INTRODUCTION

Intramedullary (IM) nailing is most commonly preferred for adult tibial shaft fracture. The objective of this study was to find the accuracy of predicting the tibial nail length pre-operatively from contra-lateral tibial tubeorsity to medial malleolar distance (TMD) length.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

After ethical clearance (UCMS/IRC/239/19) from the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of Universal College of Medical Sciences, all patients with recent fracture of tibia, who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were enrolled in the study and the informed written consent was obtained. The study was conducted on 45 patients of aged more than 15 years who attended Universal College of Medical Sciences Teaching Hospital (UCMS-TH) over a period of one year (Nov 2019 to Oct 2020). The TMD length of contra-lateral leg were measured preoperatively using a measuring tape and the ideal length of IM nail were measured intra-operatively using IM tibial nail under fluoroscopic guidance.

RESULTS

Analysis showed that majority of patients were males (77.78%) out of total 45 patients. The mean length of TMD length of contra-lateral leg and the ideal length of IM nail were 33.067 ±1.60 and 33.11 ±1.68 respectively. The mean difference between these two measurements was 0.04 (95% CI, -0.64 to 0.72). The significant correlation was found between these two measurements i.e r=0.88 by Pearson’s correlation (95% CI, 0.79 to 0.93), (p<0.001). Most of the TMD length were equal (37.78%) to ideal length of IM nail.

CONCLUSION

We recommended TMD length measurement of contralateral leg as an excellent anthropometric parameter for preoperative planning.
