Solar Technology is fast becoming a preferred trend in the field of electric power. This is because of the fact that solar energy, freely available is transferred into electric power without causing any environment hazard. Commercial power system is grid organized system. Therefore, the solar system also needs cooperative to established grid system. Grid connected solar photovoltaic system is a friendly and affordable system for large solar power generation. These systems exhibit good power efficiency beside of their other advantages. Here we pursue our studies on 150 KW grid connected SPV system. In this paper we design and model a 150 KW SPV system and compared its performance with the real time data collected by us through our experimental setup. The experimental setup is based on the module provided by RenewSys DESERV 3M6 with 72 cells on SPV module. This module is a polycrystalline silicon module and was manufactured in the year 2018 and purchased in the same year. In this study important effects that the performance degradation is also considered and the overall results obtained are found satisfactory.

Authors: Čiginskienė Aušra , Dambrauskienė Asta , Zubavičiūtė Indrė , Kasputytė Greta , Pilvinis Vidas , Vanagas Tomas , Adukauskienė Dalia
Published: June 2020

Background. This analysis is aimed to determine the incidence of risk factors for VAP, drug resistance of A.baumannii strains, 7-day (early) and 28-day (late) mortality, and association of risk factors for VAP with early and late mortality in multidrug-resistant (MDR) A.baumannii VAP patients cohort.
Materials and methods. Adult subjects with the first episode of MDR A.baumannii VAP during 2 years period were included. VAP was diagnosed using the 2005 ATS/IDSA criteria. Risk factors for VAP pre­dicting early and late mortality were estimated using binary logistic regression analysis.
Results. The incidence of risk factors for VAP among 60 MDR A.baumannii VAP patients was: both conti­nuous sedation and stress ulcer prophylaxis –100%, exposure to intravenous broad-spectrum antibiotics within the last 90 days – 98.3%, current hospitali­zation ≥ 5 days – 95.0%, red blood cell transfusion – 60.0%, sepsis – 53.3%, mechanical ventilation before VAP >8 days and SAPS II score > 50 on ICU admis­sion – 50.0%. The resistance of A.baumannii strains to both piperacillin/tazobactam and ciprofloxacin was 100%, to carbapenems, cephalosporins 95.0%, to colistin 0%. Early mortality it was estimated to be 28.3%, late one – 55.0%. The SOFA score >12 on ICU admission have predicted early (OR 7.5; 95% CI 2.052-27.408, p=0.002) and late (OR 4.089; 95% Cl 1.292-12.92, p=0.017) mortality, >3 classes of antibiotics used before the onset of VAP (OR 3.993; 95% CI 1.050-15.193, p=0.042) – late one.
Conclusions. It was estimated twice higher late versus early mortality, and marginal resistance of A.baumannii strains to piperacillin/tazobactam, car­bapenems, cephalosporins and ciprofloxacin but co­listin. Both early and late mortality was predicted by higher severity of illness by SOFA score on ICU admission, but only late one – by the treatment with > 3 different classes of antibiotics before VAP onset.

Authors: Ambrazaitė Konstancija , Rugieniūtė Justina , Alzbutienė Giedrė
Published: June 2020

Žmogaus vidinės ausies struktūroje esančioje sraigėje yra daugiau nei 20 000 juntamųjų klausos neuronų. Dažniausia klausos sutrikimo priežastis – šių ląstelių pažeidimas, sukeliantis neurosensorinį kurtumą ar neurosensorinį prikurtimą. Toks klausos sutrikimas galimas dėl klausos juntamųjų neuronų neišsivystymo arba pažeidimo. Likutinė klausa – sutrikęs gebėji­mas girdėti žemo dažnio garsus, kai dalis juntamųjų neuronų negali atlikti savo funkcijos dėl išvardytų priežasčių [3,5]. Pastaruosius keturis dešimtmečius, kaip vienas iš klausos atkūrimo metodų, taikoma kochlearinės implantacjos operacija. Remiantis li­teratūroje aprašomomis studijomis, nagrinėjančio­mis kochlearinės implantacijos operacijų rezultatus, stebimas likutinės klausos prastėjimas pooperaciniu periodu. Geresni rezultatai būdingi jaunesnio am­žiaus pacientams.
Darbo tikslas – išanalizuoti pacientų, kuriems atlikta kochlearinės implantacijos operacija, likutinę klausą, lyginant klausos audiometrinius duomenis prieš koch­learinės implantacijos operaciją ir po jos, įvertinti likutinės klausos audiometrinio klausos slenksčio vidurkio pokyčio priklausomybę nuo paciento am­žiaus, lyties ar kurtumo priežasties.
Atliktas retrospektyvinis tyrimas. Tyrime dalyvavo 47 Lietuvos sveikatos mokslų universiteto ligoninės Kauno klinikų Ausų, nosies ir gerklės klinikos paci­entai, kuriems 1997-2018 metų laikotarpiu operacijos metu implantuotas vienpusis ar abipusis kochlearinis implantas. Iš atrinktų pacientų 28 kochlearinės im­plantacijos operacija atlikta prelingvinio kurtumo amžiuje. Analizuoti audiogramų duomenys apskai­čiuojant 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, 2000 Hz ir 4000 Hz dažnių aritmetinius vidurkius.
Rezultatai. Gautais duomenimis, abipusė kochleari­nės implantacijos operacija atlikta 18 pacientų iki 3 metų. Likutinės klausos vidurkis prieš implantaciją buvo 88,46 (SD 13,85) dB, o po kochlearinės implan­tacijos operacijos – 96,17 (SD 11,42) dB. Likutinės klausos pokytis po operacijos laikytas statistiškai reikšmingu (p<0,001). Stebėtas vidutinio stiprumo ryšys (r= 0,546) tarp likutinės klausos prieš ir po operacijos. Statistiškai reikšmingo ryšio tarp liku­tinės klausos ir lyties, amžiaus ar klausos sutrikimo priežasties nenustatyta.

Authors: Čerkauskaitė Sonata , Liepinaitienė Alina
Published: June 2020

Tyrimo tikslas – įvertinti ir palyginti viešojo ir priva­čiojo sektorių bendruomenės slaugytojų įsitraukimą į pacientų sveikatos stiprinimo procesą.
Pasirinktas kiekybinis tyrimo metodas – momentinis tyrimas. Duomenų rinkimo metodas – anoniminė an­ketinė apklausa raštu. Tyrimo laikas – 2018 m. spalio – gruodžio mėnesiai. Tyrimo vieta – 4 privačiosios ir 1 viešoji įstaiga. Tyrimo dalyviai – 55 šiose įstai­gose dirbančios bendruomenės slaugytojos (28 iš vie­šojo ir 27 iš privačiojo sektorių). Duomenų statistinė analizė atlikta taikant SPSS 22.0 programą. Ryšiams tarp nepriklausomų požymių nustatyti apskaičiuotas Pearson chi kvadratas (χ2). Rezultatų reikšmingumui nustatyti naudotas reikšmingumo lygmuo (toliau – p). Duomenys laikyti statistiškai patikimi, kai p<0,05.
Rezultatai parodė, kad bendruomenės slaugytojos, dirbančios ir viešajame, ir privačiajame sektoriuose, dažniausiai įvairiais sveikatos stiprinimo klausimais konsultuoja tada, kai pacientui tokios informacijos reikia. Didesnei daliai viešojo sektoriaus slaugytojų nepakanka vizito laiko teikti pacientams informaciją ir juos mokyti stiprinti sveikatą, lyginant su privačia­jame sektoriuje dirbančiomis slaugytojomis. Viešojo sektoriaus slaugytojos teigia savarankiškai konsultuo­jančios pacientus sveikatos stiprinimo klausimais, o privačiajame sektoriuje dirbančios slaugytojos nekon­sultuoja pacientų, o jei konsultuoja, tai tik kartu su gydytoju. Prieita prie išvados, kad viešojo sektoriaus slaugytojos statistiškai reikšmingai dažniau bendrąją sveikatos būklės stiprinimo informaciją teikia tada, kai pacientams jos reikia ir savarankiškai konsul­tuoja įvairiais būdais (telefonu, kabinete, namuose). Beveik visos slaugytojos visada suteikia informaciją apie prevencines programas. Didžioji dalis šio sekto­riaus slaugytojų apie sveikatos stiprinimą informuoja, kai pacientams šios informacijos reikia, tačiau joms nepakanka vizito laiko teikti informaciją apie lėtines neužkrečiamąsias ligas, racionalios mitybos ir fizinio aktyvumo naudą, traumų ir susižalojimų prevenciją, nors apie užkrečiamąsias ligas ir jų išvengimo bū­dus dažniausiai informuoja kiekvieno vizito metu. Dauguma privačiojo sektoriaus slaugytojų sveikatos stiprinmo informaciją teikia, kai pacientams reikia, tačiau nekonsultuoja savarankiškai, o tik kartu su gy­dytoju. Visada apie prevencines programas pacientus informuoja mažiau nei pusė privačiajame sektoriuje dirbančių slaugytojų.

Command economies, graduated responsibility, and Competence-Based Medical Education
Authors: Prost Eric
Published: June 2020

Competence-Based Medical Education (CBME) rightly emphasizes that residents are adult learners who should actively take charge of their own education by ensuring they are progressing towards competence in an array of Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs). Ironically, many CBME curricula then dictate exactly how this is to happen by listing a multitude of variables that must be checked off regarding the specifics of cases encountered. This is burdensome and unrealistic as well as contrary to the spirit of CBME. We want residents to know how to learn so they can problem solve in new situations. This is not achieved by dictating that they see nearly everything during their residency. Command economies with complete and rigid planning from above do not work. This also applies to residency training.
FAKTOR PENYEBAB BELUM OPTIMALNYA KUALITAS PENYELENGGARAAN PELAYANAN PUBLIK DALAM BIROKRASI PEMERINTAHAN

Published: June 2020

Pelayanan publik merupakan salah satu unsur penting bagi organisasi publik termasuk organisasi pemerintah. Oleh karena itu pelayanan publik yang diberikan aparatur pemerintah (birokrasi pemerintah) harus senantiasa berorientasi pada kepentingan publik. Pemenuhan terhadap kepentingan publik secara substantif sudah selayaknya memperhatikan kualitas pelayanan yang diberikan agar masyarakat yang dilayani dapat memberikan tanggapan positif terhadap hasil pelayanan yang diberikan oleh aparatur pemerintah tersebut. Namun dalam realitanya masalah pelayanan publik dilingkungan pemerintahan sudah lama menjadi pusat perhatian masyarakat seiring banyaknya kasus pelayanan publik yang dianggap kurang berpihak kepada kepentingan masyarakat. Ini mengisyaratkan bahwa kualitas pelayanan yang diberikan pemerintah belum menunjukkan hasil yang memuaskan bagi masyarakat. Pelayanan yang berbelit-belit, in-efisiensi, lambat, tidak ramah serta tidak jelasnya waktu penyelesaian dan tidak jelasnya biaya pelayanan merupakan bukti nyata bahwa kualitas pelayanan yang diberikan aparatur pemerintah masih rendah dan pelayanan publik belum berkualitas. Beberapa faktor penyebab belum berkualitasnya pelayanan publik adalah faktor SDM aparatur, organisasi birokrasi, tata laksana, pola pikir, kinerja organisasi, budaya birokrasi, inovasi birokrasi dan teknologi informasi, perilaku birokrasi, sistem dan strategi pelayanan, kepemimpinan yang transaksional, struktur organisasi yang adaptif, perilaku organisasi yang koruptif, lemahnya implementasi kebijakan, belum diterapkannya prinsip good governance dan komunikasi birokrasi.

“I am a SALCer”: Influences of Identity on Fear of Making Mistakes in English Interactions
Authors: Noguchi Junko
Published: June 2020

This preliminary study attempts to examine the potential factors that enable EFL learners working in an English-only self-access learning center (SALC) to overcome their fear of making mistakes when they communicate in English with their peers. Through the interviews with those student workers called “SALCers,” it was revealed that the degree of their Willingness to Communicate (WTC) (McCroskey & Baer, 1985) was quite high when they interact with other SALCers in the SALC. On the other hand, their WTC is low when they are instructed to communicate in English in their English classrooms. The findings seem to indicate that some of the distinctive characteristics of the SALC work environment free the learners from the fear of making mistakes in English. Moreover, an analysis of interviews conducted with the SALC student staff indicated they had strong identities as SALCers and a shared sense of community, which also seemed to enhance their WTC. In this paper, the prominent characteristics of both the SALC and the SALCers themselves which seem to enhance their willingness to communicate by reducing the anxiety of making mistakes will be delineated with examples.
Effects of CALL on Self-directed FL Vocabulary Learning
Authors: Wu Jing
Published: June 2020

This paper focuses on whether computer technologies could help to create a better learning environment for FL vocabulary learners in China, activating their utilization of various vocabulary learning strategies and thereby enhancing self-directed vocabulary learning (SDVL). A vocabulary learning system called Learning Vocabulary In Domain was developed especially for this research purpose. In the judgmental analysis, students’ satisfaction levels to the vocabulary learning conditions under the computer-based mode and paper-based mode were statistically compared and discussed. As a result, the CALL mode was more favorable to the students during their self-directed learning. The superiority of CALL was further reinforced by the empirical analysis of comparing the students’ vocabulary performances under the two learning modes.

Published: June 2020

Over 1.2 million poultry birds were infected with highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) (H5N1) in Nigeria between 2006 and 2008. A resurgence of HPAI in 2014 in Kano and its spread to other states plagued the poultry subsector with job losses, increased poultry mortality and a drastic fall in revenues. We carried out this study to determine the pattern, trend and burden of HPAI in poultry birds between 2015 and 2017 in Kano State Nigeria. We obtained Avian Influenza (AI) surveillance data for 2015-2017 from the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Abuja. Variables analyzed were the number of poultry chicken affected, mortality in infected poultry, the number of poultry depopulated by local government areas (LGAs), and trends of avian influenza within the study area. In the years under review, over 3.7 million poultry chickens were affected across 26 states in Nigeria. Kano State accounted for 30% of the total mortality in Nigeria. In 2015, 648,686 poultry chickens were exposed to HPAI, H5N1 across 21 LGAs in Kano, 34,504 (5.3%) died, 561,126 (94.7%) was depopulated. In 2016, 382,963 poultry birds were exposed, 9,737 (2.5%) died and 375,026 (94.7%) poultry was depopulated. In 2017, targeted surveillance conducted on a pool of ducks at Sabon Gari market in Kano led to the isolation of HPAI. H5H8. The decline in the incidence of AI cases from week 17-31 of 2015 and week 13-33 of 2017 was in tandem with supplies of AI control kits and equipment to Kano State. These measures should be complemented with the training of poultry stakeholders on biosecurity measures on the farm with a view of preventing a future outbreak of avian influenza. These findings have been communicated to the Chief veterinary officer of Nigeria for consideration.

Testing Engine Oil Specifications and Properties and its Effects on the Engines Maintenance and Performance
Authors: Rawashdeh Mohannad O. , Fayyad Sayel M. , Awwad Ahmad S.
Published: June 2020

This paper presents the results of practical mechanical tests of motor oils, their specifications and characteristics and the effect of their physical and chemical properties on the performance of the engine. The performance of the engine has a strong relation with the engine oil type and efficiency. The degree of stability of oils properties is very important because if oil or lubricants lose their properties, mechanical and chemical excessive corrosion of the motor metals may occur. Consequently, damage occurs to one or more parts of the engine, thereby the system is breaking down where the cost of downtime is too expensive. It has been found that a higher viscosity value is not the optimum as it increases temperature and energy consumption due to frictional losses. The values required for viscosity is the ideals that gives the stable results regardless temperature variations under any conditions of operation, at which the power losses are minimal and the fuel economy is optimal.

Authors: Bondareva Lydia , Fedorova Nataliia
Published: June 2020

The given work considers the accumulation levels of technogenic radionuclides by some components of the river Yenisei near the discharge area of the water containing a big number of technogenic radionuclides, this water being discharged from the Mining and Chemical Combine (MCC). The investigation was carried out during the operation of the nuclear reactor included into the facility of the given enterprise (2006-2009). The content of gamma-emitting technogenic and natural radionuclides was measured. Using the method of gamma spectrometry, a considerable amount of technogenic radionuclides of the activation type ( 24Na – up to 1950 Bq·kg-1 , 51Cr – up to 2860 Bq·kg-1) were detected in biological objects. Making some assumptions in calculating the dose rate, for the organisms under study the following largest doses were revealed (μGy·day-1): aquatic plants – up to 39, fish: grayling - 22,3 and pike - 36,4. These values are considerably lower than the accepted radiation dose for aquatic biota which amounts to 10 mGy·day-1 .

A Lacewing Bug, Paleoanomala aptenus gen. et sp. nov. (Hemiptera: Tingidae), in Mid-Cretaceous Burmese Amber
Authors: Poinar, Jr. George , Vega Fernando
Published: June 2020

A female lacewing bug in mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber is described as Paleoanomala aptenus gen. et sp. nov. (Tingidae: Hemiptera). This specimen is small and flightless and has partially fused hemelytra. The dorsum is covered with areoles formed by large dark punctures. The vestigial eyes, lack of ocelli, and a flattened body suggest that this specimen lived in a stable, protected habitat. It is proposed that the precursor of Paleoanomala was macropterous with functional wings, however, the suture separating the original hemelytra is now partially fused and not capable of separation.
Quels enseignements de la privatisation du rail ?
Authors: Freyssinet Jacques
Published: June 2020

Par sa radicalité, la privatisation des chemins de fer britanniques en 1993 n’a d’équivalent dans aucun autre pays. Il en est résulté un bouleversement du système de relations professionnelles qui a créé un défi vital pour les syndicats. La vigueur et la permanence des luttes sociales se sont combinées avec de multiples sources d’inefficacité pour engendrer depuis 2018 une crise du système qui n’a, à ce jour, pas trouvé de solution. Au moment où la France s’engage de manière plus prudente dans cette voie, il est utile d’examiner le bilan de l’expérience.
La sécurité nationale s’invite dans les échanges économiques internationaux

Published: June 2020

La conjonction de l’effondrement du commerce mondial et d’une grave récession consécutive à la pandémie de COVID-19 va durcir les politiques protectionnistes mises en œuvre par les gouvernements des pays les plus puissants déjà à l’œuvre depuis la crise de 2008. La conjoncture historique qui s’est formée à la fin des années 2000 s’est traduite par un resserrement des relations entre économie mondiale et géopolitique. Le « nationalisme technologique » risque fort d’être une forme certes modérée mais de plus en plus prégnante sur l’échelle de la conflictualité mondiale.
Qu’est-ce que le « trumpisme » ?

Published: June 2020

Le trumpisme prend la forme d’une présidence plus démagogique qu’autoritaire dont la principale dynamique est une polarisation exacerbée et personnalisée. Une telle évolution affaiblit les capacités de gouvernement du président. Ainsi, l’héritage de Donald Trump risque de se résumer aux conditions qui ont permis son accession au pouvoir en 2016 et qui se pérennisent : personnalisation du pouvoir, omniprésence médiatique, dérégulation du financement des campagnes et apathie électorale.

Published: June 2020

L’accident de la centrale de Fukushima en 2011 a poussé le Japon à réduire la part du nucléaire dans son mix énergétique. Ce pays est ainsi entré dans « l’ère du démantèlement ». La fermeture de centrales nucléaires est un processus long et complexe. Certaines problématiques fondamentales – comme la gestion des déchets radioactifs – n’ont pas encore trouvé de solution. Alors que d’autres pays s’engagent sur la voie du démantèlement, l’exemple japonais mérite une attention particulière.

Le Royaume-Uni pourrait devenir leur chef de file en donnant une nouvelle impulsion à l’Association européenne de libre échange (AELE). Une bonne articulation entre l’UE et l’AELE permettrait une unification historique du continent. Des États importants comme l’Ukraine et la Turquie seraient intégrés à cette architecture. Un tel projet entraverait les visées russes dans les marges orientales de l’Europe.
Mariama, entre excision et fantôme, les difficultés d’un devenir-femme
Authors: Guittonneau-Bertholet Mireille
Published: June 2020

Il s’agit dans ce texte de montrer la nécessité d’entendre ensemble les différents éléments qui composent l’identité sexuée d’un sujet : les fantasmes, la culture et l’histoire transgénérationnelle ; l’identité sexuée étant véritablement une construction originale, faite de matériaux composites que chacun assemble de façon singulière. Ainsi, dans l’histoire de Mariama, pour comprendre ses interrogations sur son identité sexuée, il a fallu articuler son interprétation de l’excision partielle subie par elle, bébé, et ses fantasmes infantiles sur la différence des sexes en lien avec sa position d’enfant ayant dû inconsciemment remplacer un frère mort en bas âge. Dans ce texte, sont également interrogés les temps psychiques qui accompagnent le travail psychique dans des situations de trauma.
Pratiques radicales des modifications corporelles, fantasme d’unicité et lien social contemporain
Authors: Dumoulin Quentin , Hamon Romuald , Peoc’h Mickaël
Published: June 2020

Dans cet article les auteurs s’attachent à rendre compte des pratiques de modifications corporelles, notamment lorsqu’elles se présentent de façon exacerbée. Ces pratiques s’ancrent dans un lien social qui voit se conjoindre aujourd’hui scientisme et néolibéralisme. Les plus extrêmes sont parfois prônées au nom du transhumanisme, ou mues par une promesse de « plus-de-vie » garantie par la science. Deux cas qui peuvent s’apparenter au transspécisme viennent éclairer les logiques du lien social ayant présidé à leur entrée dans le registre du possible. Mais ils témoignent avant tout que ces pratiques se fondent d’un vœu subjectif d’unicité ou d’exception à l’égard du genre humain. En examinant le concept psychanalytique d’identité, tel que défini par Freud puis Lacan, les auteurs soulèvent l’analogie entre un manque structural d’être pour le sujet de l’inconscient, et sa quête inextinguible d’identité. Ce souhait d’excepter à l’ensemble des humains apparaît paradoxalement soutenu par le lien social aujourd’hui, qui prescrit tout à la fois l’unicité et la différence pour chacun.

Effondrements et résurgences dans une expérience d’agriculture urbaine et de design collaboratif à Rio de Janeiro
Authors: Szaniecki Barbara , Biz Pedro , Dos Santos Costa Diego
Published: June 2020

Les effets catastrophiques de l’action de l’Homme sur la Terre se font évidents au point de marquer une « cène » ou ère généalogique. En Amérique latine, l’effondrement est perçu de façon très concrète. Extractivisme, expropriations et expulsions se sont accentués de façon dramatique au cours des dernières décennies. Depuis ce continent dont les veines sont, selon Eduardo Galeano, continuellement ouvertes, nous articulons la réorientation politique vers le Terrestre proposée par Bruno Latour avec la réorientation ontologique du design proposée par Arturo Escobar, et nous proposons d’observer et d’analyser une initiative qui articule agriculture urbaine et design autonome au sein d’un ensemble de favelas situé à Rio de Janeiro. Là, des expérimentations de design collaboratif cherchent à réparer des terrains de vie et à faire ressurgir les liens socioculturels de la communauté de Penha.
Personal Devices and Smartphone Applications for Detection of Depression
Authors: Basco Monica Ramirez , Kyrarini Maria , Makedon Fillia S.
Published: June 2020

Rates of depression in youth are at historic highs, and suicide is the second most common cause of death among college-aged youth. During 2016 and 2017, the American College Health Association found that 39% of college students, at least once, “felt so depressed that it was difficult to function.” Depression frequently goes undetected and untreated in youth, often leading to poor academic performance, substance abuse, social dysfunction, legal difficulties, ill health, suicide attempts, or completed suicide. Crucial to preventing such negative consequences is the ability to recognize early warning signs of depression to provide decision-making guidance about how and where to get help. This article summarizes approaches to detect depression and depressive symptoms using sensory data collected from everyday devices widely used by students. Methodologies that raise user awareness provide an opportunity to take an action, one of which might be to seek treatment for depressive symptoms. Similar approaches may be adapted for use in other psychiatric disorders.

Reasons for Failure of Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty Performed Through a Direct Anterior Approach
Authors: Duethman Nicholas C. , Statz Joseph M. , Trousdale Robert T. , Taunton Michael J.
Published: June 2020

The direct anterior approach (DAA) for total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a technique popular among some arthroplasty surgeons. There is currently a paucity of data regarding reasons for failure of THA using the DAA. The authors conducted a retrospective review of prospectively collected data on 56 patients who underwent revision THA at their institution after failing primary THA that was performed through a DAA either at their institution (n=8) or elsewhere (n=48) from January 1, 2010, to June 1, 2017. Patients were grouped by modes of failure and compared using patient characteristics, surgical factors, and radiographic outcomes. Total hip arthroplasties performed through the DAA failed due to infection in 21 (38%) patients, aseptic/mechanical loosening in 14 (25%) patients, intraoperative fracture in 6 (11%) patients, postoperative fracture in 6 (11%) patients, tendinitis or pain of unknown etiology in 3 (5%) patients, metallosis in 3 (5%) patients, instability/dislocation in 2 (4%) patients, and leg length discrepancy in 1 (2%) patient. Patients who underwent revision due to unrecognized intraoperative fracture had a lower body mass index (BMI) and weight than patients who had failure due to postoperative fracture, aseptic loosening, or infection. The 4 most common modes of failure included infection, aseptic loosening, unrecognized intraoperative fracture, and postoperative fracture. Together, these made up 84% of failed DAA THAs. Patients with a lower BMI are more likely to have failure due to intraoperative fractures. Patients with a higher BMI are more likely to have failure due to postoperative fracture, aseptic loosening, or infection. [

Gluteus Maximus Transfer as an Augmentation Technique for Patients With Severe Abductor Deficiency of the Hip
Authors: Quisquater Laurent , Timmermans Annick , Vandenabeele Frank , Driesen Ronald , Corten Kristoff
Published: June 2020

Impaired abductor function of the hip following severe abductor deficiencies can be devastating for functionality and quality of life. Recently, gluteus maximus transfer has been proposed as a solution to these difficult problems. However, outcome results are sparse. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of gluteus maximus transfer on improvement of pain, disability, and quality of life in patients with severe hip abductor deficiencies. Gluteus maximus transfer was performed in 16 patients with severe disruption of the abductor muscles of the hip. Data were collected preoperatively and at 6 weeks, 3 and 6 months, and 1 to 2 years after surgery. The measurements pertained to complications, healing of the flap based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings (in 10 patients), evaluation of Trendelenburg gait and sign, and patient-reported outcome measures of pain, disability, and quality of life. Preoperatively, all patients had a positive Trendelenburg sign and reported severe pain at the level of the greater trochanter. At a mean follow-up of 20 months, the Trendelenburg sign was negative in 7 patients and the Trendelenburg gait had disappeared in 7 patients. There was an improvement in patient-reported outcome measures but not to a significant level except for the pain subscores. Two patients had a postoperative seroma that resulted in a visible bump on the lateral side. Seven of 10 repairs with MRI follow-up showed perfect ingrowth on MRI without signs of rerupture. Gluteus maximus transfer for abductor deficiency of the hip may be effective for pain relief and functional improvements. Most patients showed an improved quality of life but were not completely pain free. [

Several postoperative problems have been reported in conventional cervical laminoplasty (C-LAMP), such as loss of cervical curvature, sagittal imbalance, and loss of range of motion (ROM). Selective laminectomy (S-LAM) is a less invasive procedure that may prevent the problems associated with conventional C-LAMP. In this study, the authors prospectively compared neurological outcomes and radiological parameters in C-LAMP and S-LAM for the treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopathy. Fifty-three patients were enrolled, with 25 patients receiving conventional double-door C-LAMP and 28 patients receiving S-LAM. Measured outcomes included operative time, intraoperative blood loss, Japanese Orthopaedic Association score for neurological recovery, cervical sagittal alignment at C2-7, cervical sagittal vertical axis from occiput to C7, C7 slope, and cervical ROM at C2-7. No difference was found in operative time, whereas intraoperative blood loss was significantly less in the S-LAM group (
P
<.05). No significant difference in neurological recovery was found between the 2 groups. The postoperative C2-7 angle was significantly smaller (
P
<.05) and cervical sagittal vertical axis greater (
P
<.01) in the C-LAMP group. Postoperative ROM at C2-7 was greater (
P
<.01) in the S-LAM group. In the CLAMP group, postoperative kyphotic change was greater in patients with high C7 slope. However, in the S-LAM group, postoperative sagittal alignment was preserved even in patients with high C7 slope. Postoperative cervical alignment, sagittal balance, and cervical ROM were better preserved in the S-LAM group compared with the C-LAMP group. Selective laminectomy is an effective, minimally invasive method for cervical spondylotic myelopathy with spinal cord compression at limited levels. [

Notions of Atmosphere: Toward the Limits of Narrative Understanding
Authors: Milosavljević Milić Snežana
Published: June 2020

The change of methodological paradigms, introduced by postclassical narratology and especially its cognitivist orientation, has thus far not reflected on the phenomenon of atmosphere. This is somewhat surprising, if we consider that the contemporary conceptualization of atmosphere and the increased interest in the questions it brings forth arise from new phenomenology and phenomenological aesthetics, fields that have directly initiated the development of postclassical narratology. Starting with the phenomenological concept of atmosphere of M. Merleau-Ponty and H. Schmitz (atmosphere as an ecstasy of experience, a specific modus of presence with a quasi-objective and inter-subjective status fitting into the extra-linguistic framework, atmospheric perception as seizing the surfaceless space) and the aesthetic relevance of the concept (G. Böhme, T. Griffero, E. Fischer-Lichte), this article presents the terminological instability and semantic vagueness of atmosphere and related terms within the narratological discourse of M. Bal, G. Prince, M.L. Ryan and P. Abbott (atmosphere as receptive and narrative disposition, the accompanying factor of morphological categories, the thematic-psychological distinctive characteristic of genre). The primary objective of the paper is to reexamine the methodological legitimacy of the concept of atmosphere, both regarding the limits of narrative understanding and its interpretative potential which might become relevant within cognitive theories of intertextuality (E. Panagiotidy, M. Juvan), while also being a humanistic response to the challenges of new epistemological paradigms and a return to the transcendental essence of literature.
Effects of interplanting peppermint (Lamiaceae) in strawberry (Rosaceae) onDrosophila suzukii(Diptera: Drosophilidae) and seed-feeding pests (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae, Miridae, Rhyparochromidae)
Authors: Renkema Justin M. , Frewin Andrew , Hallett Rebecca H.
Published: June 2020

Spotted-wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii(Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae)) is a pest of tender fruit and berry crops because female flies oviposit in ripening fruit. Frequent insecticide applications are needed for control during fruit ripening, with few noninsecticide options available. The effect of interplanting peppermint (Mentha × piperitaLinnaeus (Lamiaceae)) in strawberry (Fragaria × ananassaDuchesne (Rosaceae)) onD. suzukiifruit infestation was investigated because peppermint essential oil deterredD. suzukiifrom fruit in the laboratory, and interplanted aromatic plants reduced crop pest populations in other field studies. Regardless of whether peppermint was untrimmed or periodically trimmed to reduce shading of strawberries and promote release of volatiles,D. suzukiiinfestation was consistently lowest in strawberries adjacent to no peppermint. Interplanted peppermint also reduced strawberry yield in the second year of the experiment. Abundance ofLygus lineolaris(Palisot de Beauvois) (Hemiptera: Miridae), a strawberry pest, was higher in plots with peppermint, but abundances ofLigyrocoris diffusus(Uhler) (Hemiptera: Rhyparochromidae) andNeortholomus scolopax(Say) (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae), seed feeders but not common strawberry pests, were lower in plots with peppermint. Overall, interplanted peppermint is not recommended forD. suzukiimanagement, but other strategies for using volatile, repellent compounds in the field should be investigated.
