the GoShare example in Taiwan
Authors: Yi-Nung Pen Yi-Nung Pen , Yi-Nung Peng Yu-Hsuan Lin
Published: October 2024

GoShare is an innovative green e-scooter rental service that has gained popularity in Taiwan. Its innovativeness lies in its being an electric green innovation and a widely available scooter rental service. To study consumers’ motivation to adopt an innovation with duality in nature-being a product and service innovation simultaneously. We utilized a two-stage research process: interviews first and followed by an online questionnaire survey effort. Building upon the learning from the interviews, we examined how potential adopters’ (1) environmental consciousness, (2) perceived innovation characteristics, (3) self-image related to the service, and (4) the perceived complementarity of the innovation in question impacts their adoption behavior. Logistic regression analyses were to present the findings. We found mixed support for our hypothesizes developed.

 
Modelling Nigerian residential dwellings: bottom-up approach and scenario analysis
Authors: Nwagwu Chibuikem Chrysogonus , Akin Sahin , Hertwich Edgar G.
Published: October 2024

Nigeria’s residential buildings consume a substantial amount of the country’s energy, so achieving a net-zero building sector with a rapidly growing population is a key challenge. To bridge the gap in research at a national level and support Nigeria’s commitment to an unconditional 20% reduction in emissions by 2030, this study develops bottom-up archetype models of different residential building typologies to estimate the energy and material use of Nigerian residential buildings. This creates an overview of the residential stock and how different archetypes perform. The study calculates a baseline energy and material use of Nigeria’s residential building stock using the BuildME tool and converts these data into CO2 emissions using a life-cycle assessment. Scenarios are modelled for 2020. Nigeria’s residential dwellings use approximately 0.3 kt of material per dwelling over a lifetime of 50 years and 2404 kWh/yr of energy per dwelling. Annualised, dwellings emit 2500 kgCO2-eq per dwelling due to material and energy use. Scenarios proposed for meeting Nigeria’s emissions targets will require improved energy efficiency, decarbonising the building envelope through a shift in construction materials and decarbonising grid electricity.
Policy relevance
This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the energy and material use of residential buildings in Nigeria, focusing on achieving the country’s commitment to a 20% reduction in emissions by 2030. It employs a bottom-up approach to model energy and material use, revealing the peculiarities of the dwelling stock across Nigeria’s four climatic zones. The study explores the implications of different policy scenarios on sustainable housing. The research suggests that meeting Nigeria’s emissions targets requires improved energy efficiency, a shift in construction materials and decarbonisation of grid electricity. It also highlights the potential benefits of a policy switch to materials such as timber, earthen blocks, adobe bricks and clay, which could significantly reduce construction-related emissions. These changes could improve the quality of life of households in Nigeria, combat climate change on a global scale and bring economic advantages to Nigeria.

Authors: Soares Guilherme Araújo , Brito Ynara Silva Luniere , Dolzane Maria Ione Feitosa
Published: October 2024

Com a reforma do “Novo” Ensino Médio, evidenciamos traços da ideologia neoliberal. Nesse contexto, o artigo problematiza algumas questões: O que é, afinal, o neoliberalismo? De que forma essas ideias se fazem presentes e modulam o novo ensino médio? E quais outras linhas emergem dessas problematizações? Essas questões estão implicadas sobre as ideias neoliberais presentes na reforma do Ensino Médio. Para alcançar esse propósito, mapeamos estudos que abordam esses conceitos utilizando o Método Cartográfico numa visão pós-crítica/pós-estruturalista. A ideologia neoliberal se manifesta na figura do “empreendedor” dentro da educação, uma categoria amplamente incentivada pela lógica do mercado flexível, que se impõe no modelo escolar do “Novo” Ensino Médio. Concluímos haver um intenso processo de precarização da educação, resultando em um acesso a uma educação ainda mais fragmentada, voltada para as demandas do mercado de trabalho capitalista. Portanto, ressaltamos a necessidade de lutar pela retomada de uma educação humanística.
A diagnostic journey: Unraveling von Willebrand disease in a child with inconclusive initial testing
Authors: Alesali Mohammad , Alaboud Mohammad Zakaria , Al Bizreh Shadi
Published: October 2024

Background: Epistaxis attacks in childhood are an important reason for pediatric emergency visits, most of which are minor and infrequent. However, recurrent epistaxis can be a sign of an underlying bleeding disorder such as von Willebrand disease. This case report highlights controversies and obstacles that may arise during the diagnostic process, hindering a clear confirmation.

Case presentation: An eight-year-old boy, who had a history of recurrent epistaxis and easy bruising since infancy, was presented to the Pediatric Emergency Department of Al Khor Hospital for a repeat episode of nosebleed. Local examination showed dilated capillaries in addition to nasal bleeding signs. Family history revealed similar past complaints in both his brother and his father. Previous epistaxis attacks were mostly left-sided. Blood workups were not diagnostic. Later, repeated blood tests led by high clinical suspicion resulted in the diagnosis of von Willebrand disease. The new diagnosis had a direct effect on the patient’s bleeding management. Nose bleeds peaked in frequency and severity over the next two years and decreased remarkably thereafter, the same pattern as before in the father and older brother.

Discussion: The heterogeneous nature of von Willebrand disease, overlapping with the healthy population, creates a diagnostic dilemma. Therefore, balanced diagnostic approach is crucial. Bleeding history and family history provide invaluable clues but are not definitive. The blood workups may struggle with the variations in function and fluctuating levels of the von Willebrand factor molecule. Although genetic testing is helpful in some cases, it has its limitations.

Conclusion: The diagnosis of von Willebrand’s disease generally follows the traditional approach. It begins with a detailed bleeding history combined with a focused family history that pinpoints potential cases, followed by blood testing. However, interpretation of blood workups can be challenging due to the patient-to-patient and within-patient variability of the disease, the wide panel of investigations, and the different cutoff levels in different guidelines. Despite all this, testing is irreplaceable. Management of bleeding should begin immediately and should not be affected by inconclusive blood workups.

Authors: Öztaş Kara Rabia , Sevimli Dikicier Bahar , Solak Berna , Aydın Büşra
Published: October 2024

Objective: Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is a common inflammatory skin disorder. There is scarce data regarding SD and metabolic syndrome. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in patients with seborrheic dermatitis.
Methods: Sixty-six patients with seborrheic dermatitis and 52 healthy controls were enrolled. Subjects’ height, weight, waist circumference, smoking status, and comorbidities were recorded. Blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, triglyceride, HDL, total cholesterol, and insulin levels were measured. Seborrheic dermatitis area and severity index (SASI) score, body mass index (BMI), and Homeostatic Model Assessment-Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) were calculated. The presence of metabolic syndrome was evaluated.
Results: BMI, waist circumference, glucose, HOMA-IR, and C-reactive protein (C-RP) were significantly higher in the SD group. The prevalence of hypertension and type II diabetes was significantly higher in the SD group than in the controls. There was no difference between the patient and control groups regarding metabolic syndrome. However, the duration of SD was significantly higher in SD with metabolic syndrome than those of SD without metabolic syndrome. There were no significant differences in age and SASI score between seborrheic dermatitis patients with and without metabolic syndrome.
Conclusion: SD patients may have an increased risk of metabolic syndrome development and may have higher inflammation and insulin resistance status compared with controls.

Published: October 2024

Antecedentes: La tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) es de importancia comercial y alimenticia para las familias nicaragüense. Objetivo: Evaluar el crecimiento de tilapia en estanques de liner, aplicando dos tipos de alimento multifuncional que contenían 24% y 14% de proteína. Metodología: Se seleccionaron dos estanques (G1 y G2), cada uno con capacidad de 90 toneladas de agua, en un sistema de producción semiintensiva. Ambos estanques fueron sembrados con una densidad de 13 peces/m², con pesos promedio iniciales de 22.9 g en G1 con fuente de alimento multifuncional de 24% de proteína y 20.2 g en G2 con alimento multifuncional de 14% de proteina. Se realizaron monitoreos biométricos semanales durante 9 semanas, así como un registro de parámetros fisicoquímicos dos veces al día, excepto la turbidez, que se midió a las 12:00 p.m. Resultados: Los resultados indicaron que los parámetros fisicoquímicos se mantuvieron dentro de rangos óptimos a lo largo del cultivo, sin variaciones significativas. Adicionalmente, el análisis de la densidad de microalgas en el estanque reveló que el alimento multifuncional con 24% de proteína no solo favoreció el incremento de biomasa, sino que también mejoró la productividad natural del ecosistema. El crecimiento registrado en el estanque con el alimento de 24% de proteína alcanzó los 135g, en comparación con los 98g en el estanque con alimento de 14% de proteína. Conclusión: Los tratamientos en estudio presentaron un Factor de Conversión Alimentaria de 0.7 al final del cultivo, estos resultados refuerzan la importancia de los contenidos proteicos en el crecimiento de tilapia.

Objective: To determine the seroreactivity profile for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in a sample of community-dwelling older adults. Methods: Epidemiological survey using serological screening tests for reactivity to Treponema pallidum, HIV 1/2, and hepatitis B and C viruses in 495 older individuals (59.9% women) investigated regardless of signs or symptoms of STIs. Results: Reactivity rates for the etiological agents of AIDS and viral hepatitis B and C were compatible with the usual prevalence of these STIs in the Brazilian population. However, there was a very high prevalence of reactivity to syphilis (symptomatic or asymptomatic) in the group, equivalent to approximately 1290 cases per 10 000 older population, which suggests a proportionally greater exposure of older adults to infection with T. pallidum and to the risk of morbidity and mortality associated with STIs. Conclusions: This scenario indicates that adjustments are needed in geriatric centers to consider screening for STIs as an integral part of the routine clinical care of older people.

Zélia Cardoso nas charges: problematizando os olhares masculinos à política
Authors: Junior Cristian
Published: October 2024

O objetivo deste estudo é uma leitura das representações de Zélia Cardoso, nos processos que envolvem o governo Collor, que presidiu o Brasil de 1990 a 1992, nas, e a partir das charges da Folha de São Paulo produzidas pelos cartunistas conhecidos como Glauco e Spacca. Tentamos identificar, neste recorte, a maneira como as charges são e atuam como documentos do processo histórico brasileiro, relacionando-os com os estudos que fazem um certo balanço entre os ataques dirigidos a até então ministra Zélia Cardoso, destacando o fato de ela ser mulher e política em uma sociedade machista. Biroli (2011) chama atenção para este fenômeno, problematizando a presença de mulheres no noticiário político de 1982 a 2009. Para isso se fez necessário refletir sobre a relação das charges com o contexto do período, com a imprensa e com a própria História.
O consenso bipartidário: A chaga aberta da transição política (1974–1979)
Authors: Queiroz Pedro
Published: October 2024

Entre 1974 e 1979 o sistema político institucional esteve restrito aos partidos ARENA e MDB. Fruto da estratégia política contida no Ato Institucional Nº 2, para o controle do sistema partidário, tais agremiações constituíram o pequeno, mas existente, antro de disputa política, tanto das velhas elites do pré-1964, quanto da formação de novos representantes, em um binômio de aprovação ou contestação das ações da ditadura burgo-militar. A partir do estudo de fontes produzidas pelo MDB, em particular, como cartilhas e discursos em reuniões internas, fez-se uma análise de discurso com o objetivo de indicar como foi formado um consenso bipartidário entre os representantes permitidos pela ditadura burgo-militar que levou à “lenta, gradual e segura” passagem do poder de Estado às mãos dos civis, viga mestra dos acordos que renovaram a dominação de classe no Brasil, dando origem à Nova República. Tanto o anticomunismo, quanto a recusa ao “revanchismo” na abertura política foram denotados como condições sine qua non para a saída dos militares dos holofotes do poder e a manutenção de sua permanente tutela sobre o Estado brasileiro, a qual é sentida até os dias atuais.
Lei de terras de 1850: uma abordagem decolonial
Authors: Favaretto Felipe
Published: October 2024

A Lei de Terras de 1850, promulgada no Brasil, marcou uma mudança significativa na propriedade de terras, substituindo o sistema de sesmarias por uma estrutura mais organizada. A lei, que coincidiu com a proibição do tráfico negreiro, visava dinamizar a economia agrícola e incentivar a imigração. No entanto, impôs restrições a ex-escravos e estrangeiros que desejavam se tornar pequenos proprietários. A aplicação da lei beneficiou antigos latifundiários, enquanto aqueles que aspiravam a se tornar fazendeiros enfrentavam dificuldades financeiras. A lei perpetuou desigualdades sociais, concentrando a posse de terras nas mãos da elite. O impacto da Lei de Terras de 1850 ultrapassa os limites temporais e a própria vigência da lei, levando-nos a pensar criticamente sobre as políticas públicas e suas implicações sociais.

Ações de liberdade em Guarapiranga: a resistência e a agência negra na busca por liberdades
Authors: Câmara Maria
Published: October 2024

Este estudo, tomando como base as formas multifacetadas “dos abolicionismos brasileiro”, tem como proposta investigar e analisar as ações de liberdade, na realidade específica de Guarapiranga. A fim de desenvolvermos nossa pesquisa, focaremos no recorte temporal da segunda metade do século XIX, de 1850 a 1888. Para a delimitação deste recorte temporal, nos baseamos em dois pressupostos. Primeiramente, tivemos como fundamento a tese de Keila Grinberg e Sue Peabody (2014). Segundo as autoras, a partir da década de 1860, as ações de liberdade tornaram-se substancialmente frequentes, quando a revolta de escravizados se uniu a atuação de advogados abolicionistas. Em segundo lugar, a delimitação temporal foi influenciada pela data da lei nº 581, de 4 de setembro de 1850, conhecida como lei Eusébio de Queirós, que estabeleceu medidas para a repressão do tráfico internacional de escravizados africanos no Império. Sobre tal legislação, entende-se que seu processo afetou o sistema escravista, e, de alguma forma, as buscas por liberdades. Escolhemos o ano de 1888, como o marco final da análise, devido a promulgação da Lei Áurea, que declarou extinta a escravidão no Brasil. Tendo conhecimento que na região de Guarapiranga, no período de 1831 a 1872, os livres e libertos tiveram um aumento substancial, questionamos em nossa pesquisa, de que maneira as ações de liberdades foram importantes para o crescimento da população liberta em Guarapiranga.
Effect of spatially varying earthquake ground motions on seismic response of a railway viaduct considering multiple site configurations

Published: October 2024

Currently, it is admitted that extended structures are subjected to spatially varying earthquake ground motions. It has been recognized that the causes of this variability are time delay at each support of the structure, coherency loss effect caused by the propagation of seismic waves and local site effect. The spatial variation of local characteristics of the soil profile defines the site effect, which affects the amplitude and the frequency content of seismic ground motion. The main objective of this work is to provide comparative results and evaluate the variation of the dynamic response of a bridge adopting varying characteristics of soil foundation. Based on the density spectral method, an efficient simulation method of spatially varying earthquake ground motions is developed. The simulation of spatially variable seismic ground motions is performed for different locations on the ground surface with varying site conditions. According to of soil classification described in seismic codes, four diﬀerent soil configurations were considered for generating sixty-four displacement time series. Several dynamics analyses of a bridge to three cases of spatially variable seismic ground motions, besides the uniform case, are made. The results of this study indicate that depending on soil configurations beneath each support, the seismic response may vary significantly.

Authors: Guemache Abderezak , Mahmoud Drif , Bachiri Marwa , Hamzioui Louanes , Fares Kahoul
Published: October 2024

Natural clay and activated carbon are extremely encouraging for the removal of colored indicators in an aqueous solution. The natural clay and activated carbon were analyzed by     X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transformation (FTIR) and the colored indicator was characterized by UV-Visible. The effects of various experiments, such as initial phenolphthalein concentration, contact time, temperature, pH and decolorization were studied. Dye removal increases with the decrease in the initial concentration of phenolphthalein and the contact time of the solution. The phenolphthalein removal percentage increases accordingly, reaching 99% for activated carbon and 98% for natural clay. The Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models were used for descriptions of the adsorption equilibrium. The data was very well corrected with these models. Monolayer adsorption capacities were equal to 35 mgg-1 at pH 8.0 and temperature 27°C. Adsorption Measurements show that the adsorption process is very rapid and physical in nature. The results explain that the adsorption process is an exothermic and spontaneous physisorption.
Numerical simulation of cavitation flow around a wing with new tubercles design
Authors: Rabeh Noura , Baghdad Mohammed
Published: October 2024

The study investigates the benefits of adding non-uniform leading-edge tubercles to hydrofoils, drawing inspiration from the complex shaping of humpback whale flippers. The focus is on managing cavitation, a phenomenon that can affect hydrofoil performance. While previous research has mainly looked at uniform sinusoidal tubercles and their positive impact on flow dynamics and cavitation control, this study introduces a new perspective by examining the effects of non-uniform tubercles on hydrofoil performance. Advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations using ANSYS Fluent 2024 were used to assess how these non-uniform tubercles affect the lift, drag, and cavitation characteristics of the NACA 634-021 hydrofoil. The simulations incorporated the Schnerr-Sauer cavitation model and the SST k-ω turbulence model to accurately capture the flow dynamics. The results show that non-uniform tubercles improve cavitation control by disrupting the flow in a way that delays the onset and reduces the severity of cavitation. The modified hydrofoils (non-uniform tubercles) display improved hydrodynamic performance compared to baseline designs, with significant reductions in drag and increased lift at higher angles of attack. This study provides valuable insights into the potential of mimicking natural designs to enhance flow stability and address cavitation issues, offering a significant contribution to advanced hydrofoil design in scenarios where controlling cavitation is essential. The broader implications of this research underscore the potential of mimicking natural designs to transform hydrofoil engineering and enhance flow stability in various applications.

Biometric and Geographic Information-based Identity Authentication Method
Authors: Yang Xiaopeng
Published: October 2024

With the ongoing advancements in computer technology and mobile internet, mobile payment has become an integral component of daily life. Identity authentication technology serves as a critical measure to ensure the security of mobile payments. This paper addresses the issue of low security associated with single-factor identity authentication while highlighting the substantial overhead involved in multi-factor authentication methods. We propose a novel identity authentication method that integrates biometric data and geographic information. In this framework, the identity authentication server first performs system initialization, configures system parameters, and stores them securely. Subsequently, the identity authentication client submits an authentication request to the server and completes its registration process. Finally, the server processes this request from the client, conducts user identity verification, and returns an authentication result. This approach effectively mitigates risks posed by attackers attempting to falsify biometric data or geographic information during the identity verification process and offers robust services for biometric- and geography-based identity authentication.

Authors: Zhu Jiayuan
Published: October 2024

This paper aims to investigate software vulnerability detection methods based on deep learning to address the ever-growing challenges in software security. With the rapid development of information technology, software vulnerabilities have become the primary targets of cyberattacks, posing severe threats to economic, military, and social security. By analyzing the limitations of existing software vulnerability detection methods, this paper explores the potential applications of deep learning technology in this field. Through a literature review, relevant theories of software vulnerabilities are introduced, including the concept, types, and impacts of vulnerabilities. Subsequently, detailed descriptions of deep learning-based vulnerability detection methods are provided, encompassing Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) and their variant LSTM, as well as the application of program slicing techniques in vulnerability detection. By evaluating and improving existing deep learning models, a novel deep learning-based vulnerability detection framework is proposed, with its workflow and technical principles elaborated. The proposed deep learning-based vulnerability detection method can effectively enhance the accuracy and efficiency of software vulnerability detection, reduce reliance on expert knowledge, and lower human resource costs. Experimental results demonstrate that this method performs exceptionally well on multiple datasets, indicating broad application prospects and significant research value. The deep learning-based software vulnerability detection method offers new insights and tools for addressing current software security challenges. In the future, with the continuous development and improvement of deep learning technology, this method will play an even more crucial role in the field of software vulnerability detection.

Authors: Köse Çobanoğlu Reyhan , Ertuğrul Derun Taner , Yavuz Bünyamin , Beyan Esin
Published: October 2024

Aim: The risk of ischemic stroke is increased 5-fold in patients with atrial fibrillation (the most common reason for cardiac arrhythmia). The aim is to investigate whether insufficiency in anterior pituitary hormones develops in patients diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and no history of cerebrovascular accident.
Method: A group of 65 patients with chronic /paroxysmal atrial fibrillation without a history of cerebrovascular accident and a group of 65 healthy controls without arrhythmia were included in this study. Atrial fibrillation was diagnosed by electrocardiography or 24-hour rhythm holter. Demographic data, biochemical tests, echocardiography findings were compared between the groups. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: There was no statistical difference in gender and age distribution between groups (p<0.05). (Patient group: Mean age 68 ± 7 years (16 (24.6%) male and 49 (75.4%) female) / Control group: Mean age 67 ± 6 years (18 (27.7%) male and 47 (72.3%) female). Serum insulin-like growth factor-1, adrenocorticotropic hormone and cortisol levels were significantly lower in the patient group compared to the control group (p=0.048, p=0.005, p=0.023). There was no significant difference in serum thyroid-stimulating hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, and prolactin levels between groups. Left atrial diameter and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter were higher in the patient group (p<0.0001). The left ventricular ejection fraction value was lower in the patient group (p<0.0001).
Conclusion: It was thought that the reason for the low level of insulin-like growth factor-1 in the setting of normal liver and kidney functions and simultaneous cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone deficiency, in patients with atrial fibrillation with no history of cerebrovascular accident might be due to silent cerebral ischemia leading to pituitary dysfunction.

Published: October 2024

Aim: The hormone levels during the menstrual cycle, directly and indirectly, affect the hearing system. In our study, it was aimed to examine the effects of changing hormone levels during the menstrual cycle on auditory middle latency responses in healthy individuals with different stimuli types and the psychosomatic effects of premenstrual complaints on auditory performance.
Methods: In the study, 20 healthy women aged 18-35 years, with regular menstrual cycles and no auditory or vestibular complaints were evaluated for auditory middle latency responses with click and level-specific (LS) CE-Chirp® stimuli during the menstruation period of the follicular phase (1-5 day, menstrual phase), the ovulation phase (14-17 day) and the luteal phase (21-28 day). To evaluate the effect of premenstrual complaints on auditory performance, the participants were asked 5 questions.
Results: In the auditory middle latency assessment with click stimuli, a statistically larger Na-Pa amplitude was obtained in the menstruation phase compared to the ovulation phase in both ears. In the auditory middle latency evaluation with LS CE-Chirp® stimulus, statistically shortened Nb latencies were obtained in the right ear in the menstruation phase compared to the ovulation phase.
Conclusion: Although the clear effect of changing gonadal hormone levels on auditory evoked middle latency responses could not be determined, the findings show that neural transmission increases in the menstrual phase when the estrogen level is low. Click stimulus is more sensitive to hormonal changes, and the use of click stimulus has been recommended in the later side of lesion studies. In our study, no psychosomatic effect of complaints in the premenstrual period on auditory performance was observed.

Introduction:

Adjunctive suture augmentation of patellar plate fixation has yet to be investigated. Our biomechanical study sought to evaluate whether suture augmentation improves dorsal patellar locking plate fixation. Our hypothesis was that suture augmentation would improve fixation of this construct.

Methods:

A transverse patella fracture in six matched cadaveric pairs was stabilized using a patellar locking plate with or without suture augmentation. Specimens were tested at 60° knee flexion with load placed through quadriceps. Cyclic loading followed by load to failure was done. Stiffness, deformation at peak, and nonrecoverable deformation were calculated.

Results:

During cyclic loading, suture augmentation demonstrated a higher average stiffness throughout all loads. At the final cycle, deformation was markedly higher without suture augmentation. Average load to failure was higher with suture augmentation. Maximum load to failure occurred at 2500 N in both groups.

Conclusion:

Suture augmentation in a transverse patellar fracture model improved dorsal plate fixation, leading to less fracture displacement at the final load. Although suture augmentation demonstrated higher stiffness and lower deformation, these trends were not statistically significant. In both groups, plate fixation sustained very high loads, which reflects the fixation strength of the dorsal locking plate and screw construct in this fracture model.

Introduction:

This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the supercapsular percutaneously assisted total hip arthroplasty (SuperPATH) and the standard posterior approach in hip arthroplasty in treating femoral neck fractures in elderly patients.

Method:

A systematic search was conducted for studies from 2012 to December 2022. Meta-analysis was conducted using Review Manager 5.3 on surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, Harris hip scores, and visual analog scale scores.

Result:

A total of 26 studies involving 2,236 patients with femoral neck fractures were included. The SuperPATH group performed better than traditional posterior approach group in reducing intraoperative blood loss (in ml), shortening incision length (in cm), length of hospitalization period (in days) and improving Harris Hip score (HHS). The operation time took longer than the traditional posterior approach, with statistically significant differences. The VAS scores at 1 week and 3 months after surgery in the SuperPATH group were lower than those of the traditional posterior approach, with statistically significant differences. There was no statistical significance between the two groups in VAS scores 2 weeks and 1 month after surgery.

Conclusion:

The SuperPATH group resulted in better effects in reducing intraoperative blood loss (in ml), shortening incision length (in cm), length of hospitalization period (in days), and improving Harris hip score (HHS), which is conducive to the rapid postoperative recovery of patients.

Introduction:

Bone and joint tumors are the third most common cause of pediatric cancer–related deaths in the United States. Although there have been improvements in survival rates among pediatric cancer patients over the past few decades, bone and joint cancers remain the exception. Considering current clinical trials involving novel targeted therapies, the establishment of updated mortality rates and predictors of survival for this cancer would be prudent. This investigation sought to determine updated 5-year survival rates and predictors of survival among pediatric Ewing sarcoma (ES) of bone treated within the United States.

Methods:

The National Cancer Database was retrospectively inquired for all pediatric ES cases within the most updated bone and joint public use file available in September 2022. The reported data were truncated to only include patients with reported 5-year vital (ie, survival) status. Cox proportional hazard regression was conducted on both the truncated data and the entire cohort to validate the findings. The patients were then separated into alive versus deceased cohorts, and univariate regression analysis was done followed by multivariable regression of notable variables of interest.

Results:

Overall, an aggregated 5-year survival rate of 74.5% was found in the included patient cohort. Patients with localized cancer had a comparatively improved 5-year survival rate of 84.70% as opposed to those with macrometastatic disease on presentation with a survival rate of 50.4%. Patient demographic-, tumor-, and treatment-specific variables all demonstrated an effect on survival. The multivariable predictors of worse mortality were found to include older age, larger tumor size (>8 cm), macrometastatic disease on presentation, and positive surgical margins.

Conclusion:

This analysis serves to establish updated survival rates of pediatric ES treated within the United States to set standards for comparison among future studies. Continued multi-institutional and international collaboration is needed to optimize current treatment results and develop novel targeted therapies.
Open-Source Solutions in Archival Institutions

Open-source solutions offer a cost-effective alternative for archival institutions facing budget constraints. The absence of licensing fees and the ability to modify and customize the software without vendor lock-in make open source particularly appealing. This financial flexibility allows institutions to allocate resources to other critical aspects of preservation and access.
In the article the author presents various advantages and disadvantages of using open-source software.
The Catalog of Procedures as Part of Recordkeeping

Published: October 2024

The Regulation of the Government of the Republic of Serbia on recordkeeping of state administration bodies, which applies to other holders of public administration bodies from 2023, adapted recordkeeping to the needs of e-administration. The designed ePisarnica (Serbian erecords centre) as a unique software solution for recordkeeping and managing centralized registry of records, and a unique system for managing documents as a separate software solution, caused a number of changes in the way of managing registries on files in regard to the so far way of recordkeeping. The catalog of procedures is a new element in office business, it is a record of all administrative and non-administrative procedures of administration bodies and entities exercising public powers. The catalog also contains a codebook of records categories with retention periods. The paper will show the development and innovations in recordkeeping and the role of the catalog of proceedings in the central record of cases with special reference to the catalog of proceedings of provincial bodies.
