Anti-Oppressive Restorative Justice: Behavior Analysis in Alternatives to Policing
Authors: Leland Worner , Stockwell August
Published: March 2021

The history of American policing, behavior criminalization, and carceral justice is rooted in racist practice dating back to the 1700s. In addition to racially disproportionate punishment doled out by these systems, they are not designed to support behavioral punishment of harm or reinforcement of prosocial behavior for socially significant change. One alternative to this retributive carceral justice system is Restorative Justice. This paper offers a conceptually systematic examination of Restorative Justice for behavior change, an examination of the functional utility of various restorative approaches, alignment of Restorative Justice with behavior analytic ethics, and suggestions for incorporating anti-oppressive practices.
Labor Unions and American Poverty
Authors: VanHeuvelen Tom , Brady David
Published: March 2021

American poverty research largely neglects labor unions. We use individual-level panel data, incorporate both household union membership and state-level union density, and analyze both working and working-aged poverty. We estimate three-way fixed-effects (person, year, and state) and fixed-effects individual slopes models on the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) 1976-2015. We exploit the Cross-National Equivalent File’s – an extension of the PSID – higher quality income data to measure relative and anchored poverty. Both union membership and state union density have statistically and substantively significant negative relationships with relative and anchored working and working-aged poverty. Household union membership and state union density significantly negatively interact, augmenting the poverty-reducing effects of each. Higher state union density spills over to reduce poverty among non-union households, and there is no evidence that higher state union density worsens poverty for non-union households or undermines employment.

Authors: Dzyba А. А.
Published: March 2021

Elements of topiary art were studied in eleven park-monuments of landscape art (PMLA) and five complex monuments of nature (CMN), created in the second half of the twentieth century. To the elements of topiary art belong: shaped plants, plant-borders, hedges, living walls, pylons, berso, bosquets, and parterres. In PMsLA “Bondaretsky” and “Vysokivsky” were found no elements of topiary art. In nine PMsLA and five CMsN of Ukrainian Polissya were present five elements of topiary art (plant-borders, hedges (low, medium, high), living walls, pylons and shaped plants (ball, pyramid, cone, cube, complex geometric figures). The most common are plant-borders formed from Buxus sempervirens L., trimmed hedges from Picea abies Karst. and Thuja occidentalis L., untrimmed hedges from Juniperus sabina L., Physocarpus opulifolius Maxim., and Sorbaria sorbifolia (L.) A.Br., pylons and shaped plants in the form of a sphere, cube, complex geometric shapes - from Thuja occidentalis L. 12 families, 24 genera, 24 species, and 3 cultivars represent the systematic structure of woody plants in the elements of topiary art. Deciduous species of woody plants, namely the family Rosaceae Juss, prevail. In the elements of topiary art of PMLA and CMN there are species that are protected by the IUCN Red List (58 %), belonging to two categories of rarity NT (4 %), LC (54 %). In terms of the height of woody plants in the elements of topiary art, trees and shrubs are represented in equal numbers. By height, among tree plants prevail trees of the first magnitude 26 % and medium bushes 29 %, whereas there are slightly fewer trees of the fourth magnitude (15%) and high bushes (22 %). The condition of woody plants of 24 species and three cultivars is good, except for woody plants where timely and proper care was not carried out (formation of longitudinal and transverse profiles and annual pruning). Some plants should be replaced because of loss of aesthetics due to age.

Authors: Hidayat Taufik
Published: March 2021

Teknologi cloud computing merupakan revolusi yang dapat berbagi sumber daya, layanan dan data di antara pengguna melalui jaringan. Karena jutaan pengguna menggunakan hak yang sama pada jaringan untuk mentransfer data, maka data menjadi lebih rentan terhadap serangan keamanan dari pihak yang tidak memiliki hak akses atau penyusup. Sistem untuk keamanan data sekarang berkonsentrasi pada penyediaan keamanan internet dalam penyimpanan data cloud, tetapi kurang memperhatikan terhadap keamanan data saat sedang melakukan transfer data. Mempertimbangkan keamanan sebagai masalah yang sangat berpengaruh, sistem yang diusulkan berkonsentrasi pada penyediaan keamanan untuk mentransfer data menggunakan teknik enkripsi. Penelitian yang dilakukan menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan yang diusulkan meningkatkan keamanan sistem secara keseluruhan membuat penyusup sulit untuk mengambil data yang di transfer. Untuk mencegah itu semua penulis mengusulkan metode enkripsi pada cloud computingdengan menggunakan algoritma AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) yang dapat melakukan proses pengamanan dalam proses transfer data maupun penyimpanan data. Metode yang dilakukan dalam mencari usulan penelitian menggunakan sistematika review, karena metode SLR mampu berikan usulan dan peluang bagi penelitian pada masa mendatang.

Anthropogenic activities were greatly restricted in many South Asian cities during the COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease-2019) pandemic creating an opportunity to observe source reduction of air pollutants. This study analyzed the change in columnar nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter (PM2.5, aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 µm) in five megacities of South Asian countries (Delhi, Dhaka, Kathmandu, Kolkata, and Lahore) from April 1 - May 31 over the previous three years (2018-2020). The Dutch-Finnish Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) provided satellite-based daily tropospheric columnar NO2 values for this study. Ground-based hourly PM2.5 data were collected from the World's Air Pollution: Real-time Air Quality Index Project. The study observed a decrease of tropospheric columnar NO2 in selected cities in 2020 compared to 2018 and 2019 from April 1 - May 31. The mean daily reading of PM2.5 was 36.56% and 45.44% less in Delhi; 12.67% and 23.46% less in Dhaka; in Kathmandu 28.32% and 37.42% less; in Kolkata 41.02% less in 2020 than 2018 and 34.08% less in 2019 during April 1 - May 31. The PM2.5 was 44.26% less in 2020 than in 2019 during April 9 - May 31 in Lahore. The daily mean difference in concentration during April 1 - May 31, 2018-2020 was significantly lower at α=0.01 level for both pollutants. Introducing appropriate mitigation measures would provide safer environments and reduce future air pollution in South Asian cities.

Published: March 2021

Solid waste disposal area is a function of many parameters. Geo-technical parameters are very important, since they are often connected to the surrounding open ground. In addition, secure and appropriate land that is usable is also scarce. Geo-technical parameters are also used in this document to establish a GIS model to determine a suitable location for landfill purposes. Surat Metropolitan City is India's most densely populated and fastest growing urban area. The research goals are to perform field experiments to collect data and move the facts to find an optimal position in the GIS platform to evolve a model. The expectations of planners were collected in order to find weights for each parameter using the analytical hierarchical method (AHP). In order to improve decision-making, GIS integration and Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) techniques are applied. It increases an atmosphere for transformation and mixing of geographical data and preferences of planners. Deterministic overlay and buffer operations are carried out by GIS. MCDA approaches test alternatives based on the individual beliefs and preferences of the decision makers. Many alternative sites have been illustrated by study findings. Economic analysis of the chosen site from the point of view of real activities is not included in this report.

A estimativa de casos novos de câncer de estômago para o Brasil em 2008 é de 14.080 entre homens e 7.720 nas mulheres. No Ceará, estima-se que será o segundo mais frequente em homens, e o terceiro, em mulheres. Para analisar o perfil clínico-epidemiológico dos pacientes com neoplasia de estômago, realizou-se estudo descritivo, transversal, quantitativo, de caráter retrospectivo, utilizando informações do Registro Hospitalar de Câncer e revisão de prontuário. A pesquisa incluiu 607 pacientes com neoplasia de estômago, atendidos no Hospital do Câncer do Instituto do Câncer do Ceará, de 2000 a 2004. Aproximadamente dois terços (63,3%) foram do sexo masculino, a média de idade de 62,1 anos, para os homens, e de 57,9 para as mulheres. A maioria (63,5%) possuía baixo nível educacional. A sublocalização mais frequente foi o corpo (43,2%). Quanto ao tipo histológico, as neoplasias epiteliais representaram 85,7%, sendo 70,0% adenocarcinoma. Na classificação de Lauren, o tipo intestinal foi mais frequente. Nas neoplasias com estadiamento informado, a grande maioria (77,7%) estava em estágio avançado (III ou IV). Há evidências de diferenças estatisticamente significativas ao comparar sublocalização e idade (proximal - média de idade maior), tipo histológico por idade (intestinal - média de idade maior), sexo (intestinal mais frequente em homens e difuso em mulheres) e nível educacional (intestinal ligado a nível educacional mais baixo). Conclui-se que as neoplasias de estômago compõem parte relevante do total de neoplasias atendidas nesse serviço e seguem o perfil descrito na literatura com relação à sublocalização anatômica, tipo histológico, estadiamento, idade, sexo e nível educacional.

Introduction. The actual problem of organizing the process of foreign language teaching in modern conditions is the selection and application of appropriate information technologies to increase students' motivation, form an interest in learning a foreign language, implement pedagogical tasks, optimize the learning process and carry out regular interaction with students within the educational process. At the same time, it is important to take into account the preference of the students themselves to choose one or another technology, since a significant part of Chinese students who learn Russian in China then continue studying it in Russian universities. The purpose of this study was to conduct a comparative analysis between foreign students studying in Russian and Chinese universities on the preferences in the use of modern information technology, as well as the way of interaction with the teacher when studying Russian. Research methods. The study involved 417 foreign students from Russian and Chinese universities. The main methods of research: analysis of scientific and methodological literature, survey method, comparative analysis method. The φ-Fisher's test was used to establish statistically significant differences between the two groups. Results. International students from Russian universities use educational videos on the Russian language more often than students from Chinese universities (φemp = 3.591; p < 0.01). The educational platform Coursera is more often used by students studying at Chinese universities (φemp = 3.632; p < 0.01). Mobile applications were more frequently used by Chinese university students (φemp = 4.048; p < 0.01). There were no significant differences between the two groups in the frequency of use of voice assistants, online excursions and virtual travel services, educational environments, web quests, and educational podcasts during the study. The study of students' preferences in choosing a method of interaction with the teacher showed that 70% like to communicate with the teacher via messengers and 52% of respondents are ready to communicate with the teacher via videoconferencing. However, on average 85% responded that they prefer to study Russian in the classroom. Conclusion. The results of the study can be taken into account by teachers working with Chinese students when choosing modern information technologies, as well as ways of interaction with students in the framework of Russian language teaching.

Today, a serious problem of teachers has been the search for educational technologies aimed not only at assimilating students a certain amount of knowledge, but also at developing their personal, creative and cognitive abilities. One of the concepts that allow teachers to maintain such a balance in teaching professional English in universities and higher education institutions proved to be the WebQuest interactive activities on the Internet with the help of Marketing Mix Model WebQuest technology. Based on the "Marketing Mix Model WebQuest", a series of interactive lessons in the framework of the course ‘English for professional purposes’ was conducted in 2 groups (control and experimental) of 22 students each at the faculty of “Social Sciences and Mass Communications” in the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation. The aim of the research was to teach the students professional English terminology and topics through interactive activities on the Internet. Using WebQuest technology, students were asked to listen to foreign speech, adapt it in accordance with their level of perception, adjust the sound speed by breaking phrases into separate words and comparing the pronunciation and spelling of words. The results of the study and t-Student criterion calculation showed that the experimental group did better than the control one. Mean value of control group came up to 74,32 points whereas of experimental group – to 81,95 points. The significance level of t-Student test made p < 0,001. The results obtained indicate that the implementation of Marketing Mix Model WebQuest technology facilitated a more intensive participation in the learning process of students, which made it possible to increase the efficiency of perception and memorization of educational material, as well as to use an interactive learning environment to solve professional problems, which is especially important for teaching a professional foreign language.

Currently, the training of students-future specialists in information security is significantly modified. The necessary skills of such a specialist now include "soft skills", super-professional skills that are responsible for the effectiveness of participation in the work process. Information security itself is becoming an integral part of business modeling. This raises the question of choosing the most effective technologies for developing such skills, expressed in the relevant competencies of an information security specialist. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the use of gamification elements in the process of training students-future information security specialists. The research was conducted at the Siberian State University of Science and Technology, at the Department of Information technology security, as well as in the framework of the project «Development of a package of game cases for the discipline «Information security management»». In total, 182 students of the 3rd-5th year of specialty, 1-2 year of master's degree, as well as students of the 4th year of bachelor's degree in Information security took part in pedagogical and experimental work. The study shows that the time required to complete tasks to master the competence decreases (the time is reduced by up to 30% during the semester), and it is also noted that students who are able to master the competence received results at the beginning of the course. At the same time, the share of passively participating in the course elements in small groups is reduced to no more than 10%, and the number of non-participants in the development is practically reduced to zero. The results of the study selective response of participants in networked collaboration showed that the involvement and study of the material remains at a consistently high level as in previous years, and the time slice at the end of the experiment. For example, the assessment of the project organizers ' communication in the social network Vkontakte for 4 years of the project: 100% of participants are connected directly through at least one project participant; 93.75% are listed as friends of at least one project participant, the share of high-intensity information connections was 21.87%.

Published: March 2021

Primitive retroperitoneal tumors are formations with varying degrees of severity. They may occur locally, being impressive due to their generous diameters, but they can also invade the entire body. The latest genetic studies have somewhat changed the vision about the etiology of soft tissue tumors, while the immunohistochemical studies offer customized results on recurrence, metastasis and survival rate. At the same time, the importance of the imaging findings is crucial, especially when the localization poses problems regarding the surgical technique and a means of adjuvant therapy must be chosen accordingly. The peculiarity of this case is that we managed to resect the impressively large retroperitoneal malignant tumor with oncological safety margins. We present the case of a patient admitted in 2012 in the Department of General Surgery II of the "Carol Davila" Central Military Emergency Hospital, because of the development of a bulky formation in the right hemiabdomen and subocclusive symptoms. A thorough investigation was performed. The initial suspicion was of a primitive retroperitoneal tumor, the CT aspect  indicating a liposarcoma. The total tumoral excision was decided and performed, with the previous checking of the specific areas of metastases. The diagnosis certitude was obtained after sending the 5.5 kg piece to the anatomical pathology examination. Post-operatively, the patient was referred to the oncological service for appropriate adjuvant treatment. So far, the surgical treatment combined with the oncological one has had favorable results.

Malignant melanoma is now a major public health problem. Annually, in the European Union about 10 cases of malignant melanoma occur per 100,000 inhabitants. Every 57 minutes, worldwide, a person dies due to the existence of a malignant melanoma. I report the case of a woman, C.V., aged 49, who comes to the emergency room of the University Emergency Hospital of Bucharest, for a posttraumatic abdominal pain syndrome (abdominal contusion caused by a traffic accident 5 days earlier); the thorough clinical examination performed in order to assess the posttraumatic lesions reveals no injury marks, and the paraclinical evaluations reveal no visceral injuries. During the clinical examination, the medical team on call identifies a dark brown pigmented tumor with a diameter of about 1 cm on the posterior face of the lower third of the left leg, which raises the suspicion of  malignancy. The patient is referred to a dermatology department. The corroboration of the dermatological clinical examination with the specific paraclinical investigations led to the decision to perform the surgical excision of the pigmented tumoral formation with the repair of the defect with a skin graft. The histopathological examination of the resected piece confirms the diagnosis of malignant extensive superficial melanoma. The patient returned to the department of general surgery with the indication for a surgical evaluation. The present paper attempts to answer the question: „What is the role of the general surgeon in the management of patients with malignant melanoma?” In the case of the presented patient, the role of the general surgeon was a complex one, with major prognostic implications.

After more than 20 years from the beginning of laparoscopic surgery, laparoscopic cholecystectomy still holds a conversion rate of 5.1 % in the specialty literature. We have conducted a retrospective study based on the experience of the clinical unit of General Surgery within “Prof. Dr. A. Ionescu” Emergency Clinical Hospital, between 1997 and 2013. A number of 2,309 laparoscopic cholecystectomies were performed. The average age of the group was 47.3 years. Conversion was performed to a number of 58 patients (2.51%), out of which 74.13% women (no. = 43) and 26% men (no. 15). The average age of the patients to whom the conversion was performed was 57. Conversion to open cholecystectomy was more frequent in patients over 60 (no. 38). The main preoperative diagnosis in converted patients was acute lithiasic cholecystitis. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a safe method with optimal results, being considered the “gold standard” in the treatment of bladder lithiasis. Conversion to open surgery is an expression of the surgeon’s experience and wisdom.

The Journal of Surgical Sciences is dedicated to students at medical universities and to young doctors; it has reached its third issue, proving that early enthusiasm and the founders’ ambition are equally strong, ensuring a development well worth to dwell our attention upon.

Due to the constant efforts of teachers and students involved in this project we have managed to build a communication platform through which information on medical research can be widely spread, while also maintaining the rigor of medical research and academia.

It is worth recalling the permanent support provided throughout this project by "Carol Davila" University of Medicine and Pharmacy, by the Romanian Student Society for Surgery, by the Circle of Surgical Sciences, as well as by the IASS Association.

Starting with the first issue of the journal, whose release took place in the National Congress of Surgery - Sinaia 2014 we focused on topics of great scientific interest, resulting from thorough investigation of the authors. The first issue of the journal brought together representative works developed within the scientific students’ circles, works that have been endorsed during the student sessions of the National Surgery Congress, the National Surgery Conferences and the Congress of Students. The second issue of the Journal of Surgical Sciences expanded the coverage of topics, authors, students, resident physicians and teachers of medical schools in the country who addressed many topics of great interest from a surgical point of view.

With each new page you read in this issue, by means of in-depth studies of the authors coordinated by first hand specialists you will discover new connections that lead towards knowledge.

The accuracy of the information presented, the variety of the topics addressed and the competence of the coordinating authors ensure quality content, which may be included in the scientific reference list of those concerned with broadening their knowledge horizon. With each issue we will strengthen the record of the publication and bring more numerous authors and topics which will whet your interest by means of the peculiarities addressed.

What we want is that this publication should continue to stand for an actual tribune from where both enthusiastic students of the Universities of Medicine and Pharmacy in the country and abroad as well as young doctors interested in surgical sciences can spread valuable information and studies developed with utmost competence. We also intend to put the medical community events in the spotlight and we want to encourage probable initiatives of professionals who believe that they have a say in the field. Authors who wish to make their work known by means of the pages of this journal will be able to see their results printed after meeting the selection criteria established by the editorial staff.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate and compare the clinical outcomes of closed reduction with minimal invasive osteosynthesis with the ones of open reduction with internal fixation in talus fractures. In this study we used the Bucharest University Hospital, Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology database. We retrospectively reviewed the records of 65 patients with 70 talus fractures, 5 of them were bilateral) managed in our department between 2010-2013. The 65 patients were divided into two groups. In the first group, there were 26 patients with 27 talus fractures who were treated by closed reduction under C-arm control followed by minimal invasive osteosynthesis. We compared the results with the ones of the second group of 39 patients who had 43 talus fractures who were treated by open reduction with internal fixation. The mean age was 32.5 years (range: 22-79) for the first group and 35.1 years (range: 20–85). The gender distribution was 15 males/11 females for the first group and 27 males/12 females for the second group. The average follow-up was 4 years (range 2-7.3years). To evaluate properly the clinical outcome, we determined the American Foot and Ankle Score at 3,6,12 months and every year after that and we recorded the complications for each case: avascular necrosis, tibiotalar osteoarthritis and talocalcanean osteoarthritis. By groups, the complications were: for Group 1: avascular necrosis – 2, tibiotalar osteoarthritis – 1, talocalcanean osteoarthritis - 3, and for Group 2: avascular necrosis – 4, tibiotalar osteoarthritis – 1, talocalcanean osteoarthritis – 4. Group 1 had an average value of the American Foot and Ankle Score at of 85.6 +/- 9.2 (extremes: 54-96) at 3 months, of 89.4+/-8.9 (extremes:61-97) at 6 months and of 94.5 +/-8.8 (extremes: 64-100) at 1 year, while in Group 2 the average value for the American Foot and Ankle Score was 73.9 +/- 9,6 (extremes: 50-91) at 3 months, 82.1+/-7,6 (extremes: 55-90) at 6 months and of 89.5 +/-8,7 (extremes: 60-94) at 1 year. Talar fractures are most commonly followed by complications as osteoarthritis of the adjacent joints and avascular necrosis of the talus. Tibiotalar and talocalcanean osteoarthritis are well tolerated by patients, and the postoperative recovery is considerably faster in the case of closed reduction with minimally invasive osteosynthesis.

The revolution of minimally invasive techniques from the last two decades  lead to minimally invasive aortic valve replacement. Minimal “J” shaped sternotomy extended in to the 4 intercostal space provides good access to the aortic root and the possibility  to connect the patient to the extracorporeal circulation machine without the use of new instruments. We present a 69-year-old patient that presents in to our clinic with degenerative aortic valve disease with severe stenosis and mild regurgitation. Minimally invasive aortic valve replacement was performed with success in our clinic, being a safe and efficient procedure. This technique could become the standard procedure for isolated aortic valve replacement, with substantial benefits regarding respiratory function.

Amputations in the upper extremity due to trauma are, by definition, devastating injuries that involve multiple critical structures of the fingers, hand, arm, or any combination of the three and nearly always lead to significant disabilities, both directly and through their psychosocial impact. Replantation is defined as the reattachment of a part that has been completely cut off and the reconnection of the damaged vascular structures. Chances of viability depend on the degree of vascular, bone, muscle and nerve lesions, the level of amputation, the trauma mechanism, the pacient’s age and comorbidities, the ischemia time while the functional recovery is assessed according to the following criteria: the active range of motion, the two-point discrimination sensibility ratings, the grip and pinch strength, the cold intolerance, and the return to previous employment. We report a case of a man D.V., aged 51, with a non-pathological personal history, admitted in April 2014 in the Emergency Hospital of Bucharest with the diagnostic “Severe injury by circular right upper limb. Hand amputation from radiocarpal joint, 3 hours old”. The pacient was urgently transported in the operating room, where the right hand replantation was performed. He was first hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit, then he was transferred in the Plastic Surgery and Reconstructive Microsurgery Clinic. Post-operatively, the results were favorable, our patient achieved at 6 months evaluation S3+ and M4 on British Medical Research Council‘s scale.
