Freedom of Expression in the Internet Era
Authors: Song Zhaoyang
Published: September 2023

One of the most important human rights is the freedom of expression, yet in an era of the Internet’s explosive growth, the communicative character of speech has undergone significant change. The lines between legitimate and illegal forms of expression have also blurred, and if they do, they may have a huge negative impact on society, such as when hate speech is used. It is often assumed that only public authorities are responsible for governing freedom of expression, but nowadays, private companies also play a crucial role. The paper begins with a succinct explanation of freedom of expression and then analyses two typical methods used by public bodies in the US and the EU to regulate that right. After that, it presents about how private firms like Facebook and Twitter handle the right to free speech. Finally, it demonstrates that cooperation between public authority and private corporations is required to ensure freedom of speech under the objective circumstances of the rapid technological growth of private firms.

Published: September 2023

To screen the resistance towards alkalinity and acidity, the seeds of Azadirachta indica collected from six seed sources, comprising six agro-climatic zones of Tamil Nadu were utilized. The seeds were sown between paper towel medium. The solutions of pH ranging from 1 to 12 were employed as treatments to dip the paper towels sown with seeds from different seed sources. Water served as control. The result of the experiment proved that Azadirachta indica has the tolerance to certain level of acidity (up to pH 4) and alkalinity (up to pH 8). The species is not capable of germinating in a pH lesser than 4 or more than 8. Among the seed sources, significant variation has been exhibited. The seeds collected from Southern zone seed source exhibited good potential to tolerate a pH ranging from 4 to 8. Seeds collected from Cauvery-delta zone seed source were found to be more susceptible to extremes of pH.

The Application of Essential Facilities Doctrine in Antitrust Regulation of IP Rights
Authors: Feng Lingshan
Published: September 2023

The State Administration for Market Regulation has referred to the concept of "essential facilities" in two regulations, and some courts have utilized the essential facilities doctrine in their judgments to recognize a defendant's refusal to deal as an illegal act of monopolization. As a doctrine originally applicable only to tangible properties in the United States, the essential facilities doctrine has gradually evolved through case law to be applied in the context of intellectual property (IP) rights. Nevertheless, there remains significant controversy in China and other jurisdictions as to whether the essential facilities doctrine can be extended to IP rights. Given the fundamental differences between intangible and tangible properties, as well as the core mechanisms of IP laws, greater caution and limits must be exercised when applying the essential facilities doctrine to IP. Specifically, (1) compulsory licensing should only be implemented when the IP in question is deemed an essential facility; (2) Article 7 of the Provisions on the Prohibition of the Abuse of Intellectual Property to Eliminate or Restrict Competition should be interpreted as "harm the competition in the secondary market"; and (3) in cases involving compulsory licensing, the court should examine whether such licensing would have an unreasonable adverse impact on the rights holder.
To What Extent Do Sleep and Psychological Treatment of Lucid Dream Therapy Play an Effective Role in Mental Disorders?
Authors: Ngan Yusi
Published: September 2023

Sleep is such a complex and dynamic process and dream that it still is a scientific enigma. Over more than a century of research has established a wide range of dream-relevant theories, whereas, no one has yet reached an accurate conclusion about the function and meaning of dreams. So, in this project, I desire to review the relationship between sleep and dream and illustrate what is the function of sleep and dream. Firstly, is to state the specific processes of sleep. Humans undergo REM (Rapid Eye Movement) and NREM (non-rapid-eye-movement) during sleep. Additionally, there are various functions of REM, NREM sleep, and dreams which remain controversial. The third ambition of this project is to discuss whether dreams can act as a kind of therapy for mental disorders. And evaluate the effectiveness of lucid dreaming therapy (LDT) in patients suffering from mental disorders.
Surgeon Implicit Association of Women With Supportive Roles in Medicine
Authors: Alexander Jeremiah , Rajagopalan Dayal , Ramtin Sina , Ngoue Marielle , Ring David , Adams Julie
Published: September 2023

Background:

In a previous study, we documented patient implicit bias that surgeons are men. As a next step, we tested the implicit bias of surgeons that women in medicine have leading (chair, surgeon) or supporting roles (medical assistant, physician assistant).

Questions/purpose:

(1) What is the relationship between the implicit associations and expressed beliefs of surgeons regarding women as leaders in medicine? (2) Are there factors associated with surgeon implicit association and explicit preference regarding the roles of women in medicine?

Methods:

A total of 102 musculoskeletal surgeon members of the Science of Variation Group (88 men and 12 women) completed an implicit association test (IAT) of implicit bias regarding sex and lead/support roles in medicine and a questionnaire that addressed respondent demographics and explicit preference regarding women's roles. The IAT consisted of seven rounds with five rounds used for teaching and two rounds for evaluation.

Results:

On average, there was an implicit association of women with supportive roles (D-score: −48; SD 4.7; P < 0.001). The mean explicit preference was for women in leadership roles (median: 73; interquartile ranges: 23 to 128; P < 0.001). There was a correlation between greater explicit preference for women in a leading role and greater implicit bias toward women in a supporting role (ρ = 0.40; P < 0.001). Women surgeons and shoulder and elbow specialists had less implicit bias that women have supporting roles.

Conclusion:

The observation that musculoskeletal surgeons have an explicit preference for women in leading roles in medicine but an implicit bias that they have supporting roles—more so among men surgeons—documents the gap between expressed opinions and ingrained mental processing that is the legacy of the traditional “roles” of women in medicine and surgery. To resolve this gap, we will need to be intentional about promotion of and emersion in experiences where the leader is a woman.

The Fragility of Statistical Significance in Sham Orthopaedic Surgery: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials
Authors: Pearsall Christian , Constant Michael , Saltzman Bryan M. , Parisien Robert L. , Levine William , Trofa David
Published: September 2023

Objectives:

The purpose of this study was to determine the stability of statistical findings among sham surgery randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in orthopaedic surgery using fragility analysis.

Methods:

PubMed systematic review was conducted to include studies reporting dichotomous outcomes pertaining to sham surgery. The final review included eight RCTs involving only partial meniscectomies and vertebroplasties from 2009 to 2020. With a fixed sample size with dichotomous outcome measures (events versus non-events), the Total Fragility Index (TFI), which is composed of the fragility index (FI) and reverse fragility index (RFI), was calculated by altering the ratio of events to non-events in an iterative fashion until results were reversed from significant to nonsignificant findings (FI) or vice versa (RFI). The TFI, FI, and RFI were divided by their sample sizes to obtain the respective total fragility quotient, fragility quotient (FQ), and reverse fragility quotient. Median fragility indices and quotients were reported for all studies.

Results:

The eight RCTs included 50 dichotomous outcomes involving either partial meniscectomies or vertebroplasties, with a median TFI and total fragility quotient of 5 [interquartile range (IQR) 4 to 6] and 0.035 (IQR 0.028 to 0.048), respectively, indicating that a median of five total patients or 3.5 per 100 patients would need to experience a different outcome to reverse significant or insignificant findings for each of the eight trials. Among the 8 statistically significant (P < 0.05) outcome events (16%), the respective FI and FQ were 2 (IQR 1 to 5) and 0.018 (IQR 0.010 to 0.044). Among the 42 statistically insignificant outcome events (84%), the respective RFI and reverse fragility quotient were 5 (IQR 4 to 6) and 0.04 (IQR 0.034 to 0.048). The median number of patients lost to follow-up was 1.5 (IQR 0.5 to 2).

Conclusion:

The unstable findings in partial meniscectomy and vertebroplasty sham surgical RCTs undermine their study conclusions and recommendations. We recommend using fragility analysis in future sham surgical RCTs to contextualize statistical findings.

Advising Orthopaedic Hopefuls in the Wake of a Pass/Fail US Medical Licensing Examination Step 1: A Proposed Method for Predicting US Medical Licensing Examination Step 2 Clinical Knowledge Outcomes
Authors: Paladino Lucas , Deshpande Abhishek , Lichtig Asher , Lin Ye , Tafur Julio Castillo , Diaz Alondra , Hirshfield Laura E. , Thames Geoff , Gonzalez Mark H.
Published: September 2023

Introduction:

Matching into orthopaedic residency has become difficult, and the US Medical Licensing Examination Step 1 transition to pass/fail scoring has complicated the process. Advisors' ability to mentor students has decreased, and program directors may rely on Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK) scores in selecting which candidates to interview. This study aims to offer a method to predict Step 2 CK outcomes based on preadmission and preclinical performance.

Methods:

The study investigated 486 students from a US medical school who enrolled in 2017 and 2018. Data on demographics, preadmission, and preclinical performance were collected. Before model creation, it was found that sex, Medical College Admission Test scores, Comprehensive Basic Science Examination performance, and preclinical curriculum performance produced optimal models. Multivariate ordinal logistic regression models were built to predict probabilities of four outcome levels of Step 2 CK: <235, 235 to 249, 250 to 265, and >265. Finally, nomograms were created to visualize probability calculations.

Results:

Each model's odds ratios revealed that female sex, higher MCAT scores, and better Comprehensive Basic Science Examination and preclinical performance were associated with an increased likelihood of being in higher Step 2 CK scoring groups. Preclinical performance had a profound effect, especially for those in the top 1/3. Models were successful in assigning higher probabilities to students in higher Step 2 CK scoring groups in more than 80% of instances. Nomograms presented provide examples of how to apply these models to an individual student.

Discussion:

This study presents a novel method for predicting probabilities of Step 2 CK outcomes that can be used to mentor students at a time point when Step 1 previously filled this role. It may assist in identifying orthopaedic hopefuls at risk of performing poorly on Step 2 CK and can foster the development of individualized guidance and mitigation strategies.
Demographics and Early Outcomes of Commercial Antibiotic Cement Usage for Infection Prophylaxis During Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty in Patients Older Than 65 Years: An American Joint Replacement Registry Study
Authors: Ricciardi Benjamin F. , Porter Kimberly R. , Myers Thomas G. , Ginnetti John G. , Kaplan Nathan , Thirukumaran Caroline P.
Published: September 2023

Introduction:

The use of antibiotic-laden bone cement (ALBC) for infection prophylaxis in the setting of primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains controversial. Using data from the American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR), (1) we examined the demographics of ALBC usage in the United States and (2) identified the effect of prophylactic commercially available ALBC on early revision and readmission for prosthetic joint infection (PJI) after primary TKA.

Methods:

This is a retrospective cohort study of the AJRR from 2017 to 2020. Patients older than 65 years undergoing primary cemented TKA with or without the use of commercially available antibiotic cement were eligible for inclusion (N = 251,506 patients). Data were linked to available Medicare claims to maximize revision outcomes. Demographics including age, sex, race/ethnicity, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), preoperative inflammatory arthritis, region, and body mass index (BMI) class were recorded. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between the two outcome measures and ALBC usage.

Results:

Patients undergoing cemented TKA with ALBC were more likely to be Non-Hispanic Black (P < 0.001), have a CCI of 2 or 3 (P < 0.001), reside in the South (P < 0.001), and had a higher mean BMI (P < 0.001). In the regression models, ALBC usage was associated with increased risk of 90-day revision for PJI (hazards ratio 2.175 [95% confidence interval] 1.698 to 2.787) (P < 0.001) and was not associated with 90-day all-cause readmissions. Male sex, higher CCI, and BMI >35 were all independently associated with 90-day revision for PJI.

Discussion:

The use of commercial ALBC in patients older than 65 years for primary TKA in the AJRR was not closely associated with underlying comorbidities suggesting that hospital-level and surgeon-level factors influence its use. In addition, ALBC use did not decrease the risk of 90-day revision for PJI and was not associated with 90-day readmission rates.

Authors: Pollock Jordan R. , Doan Matthew K. , Moore M. Lane , Haglin Jack M. , Arthur Jaymeson R. , Deckey David G. , Patel Karan A. , Bingham Joshua S.
Published: September 2023

Background:

Chargemasters are lists of all services offered by a hospital and their associated cost. This study analyzes chargemaster data to determine price differences among different hospitals for total joint arthroplasty.

Methods:

In May 2020, the chargemaster data for highly rated orthopaedic hospitals were accessed, and the diagnostic-related group (DRG) codes related to primary and revision total joint arthroplasty were analyzed (DRGs 466, 467, 468, 469, and 470). The prices listed for each hospital were averaged, and descriptive statistics were calculated. Furthermore, Medicare reimbursement was collected. A subanalysis was performed to determine relationships between geographic and demographic information.

Results:

The median price for a major hip or knee joint arthroplasty without complications was $68,016 (range: $39,927 to $195,264). The median price of a revision of hip or knee arthroplasty without complications was $90,966 (range: $58,967 to $247,715). The cost of living in the city in which the hospitals are located was weakly correlated with procedure pricing, whereas the median income had no notable relationship to chargemaster pricing.

Conclusion:

The published cost of DRG codes in arthroplasty is widely variable among the top 20 US orthopaedic hospitals, with little correlation to the cost of living or median income of the area.

Purpose: This research project aimed to investigate the perceptions of online learning versus face-to-face learning of Bachelor of Science in Rehabilitation Science (BSRS) Program students in Cohorts 2017, 2018 and 2019 in China. Methods: This quantitative study utilized a cross-sectional descriptive survey design involving 177 students from the BSRS Program. A link to the Qualtrics survey, which included a consent page, was sent to participants via social media platforms. Pilot testing of interviews was conducted to get an overlook of students’perceptions regarding both learning modalities. Survey questions were constructed according to the results of that pilot study. Results: Students preferred face-to-face to online learning (47% vs. 14%). Half of the respondents (45%) were equally motivated by face-to-face and online learning. Face-to-face learning was the most effective learning method (45%). Conclusion: Students gained more knowledge from face-to-face learning than online learning but concentrated well in both online and face-to-face classes. Face-to-face learning was the most popular teaching method and will continue to be in the near future, especially in Health Science Professions Education.

Numerical Simulation of Ordinary Differential Equation by Euler and Runge–Kutta Technique
Authors: . Inderjeet , Bhardwaj Rashmi
Published: September 2023

In this paper, we explore Modified Euler’s technique & classical Runge Kutta
technique of order 4th. These numerical techniques are employed to provide an approximate solution to an initial value problem with ordinary differential equations. These approaches are certainly effective and practically good for solving ordinary differential equations, & they are all used to evaluate degree of accuracy of each approach. We create a table of approximate solution and exact solution comparisons to acquire and assess the level of accuracy of numerical data. The exact and approximate solutions show good agreement, and we compare the computational effort required by the proposed methods. Additionally, we observed that numerical solutions with very short step sizes provide more accurate results. We now identify the errors in the suggested methods and graphically illustrate them to demonstrate their superiority over one another. The Runge-Kutta 4th order approach is more effective in terms of results and also produces less error.
Enhancing Rural Wellbeing: Unravelling the Impact of Economic Diversification in Sarawak

Published: September 2023

This study delves into the multifaceted dynamics of economic diversification in the state of Sarawak, Malaysia, as well as the deep implications for rural wellbeing. Specifically, the aim of the study is to look into various economic diversification measures and their impact on the Iban rural community in Sri Aman, Sarawak. Sarawak, endowed with abundant natural resources and a diverse cultural legacy, has embarked on a transformative journey towards economic diversification in order to support sustainable development and enhance rural populations' livelihoods. This study used a mixed-methods approach, including surveys and in-depth interviews. It was found that the majority of households have increased their income by diversifying their sources of income by engaging in both farm and non-farm activities, such as formal and informal trading, wage labour, and remittances. The benefits of livelihood diversification can be seen in the community's decreased reliance on a single activity, the development of infrastructure, the survival of the Iban culture, and the resilience of the community.

Lagere regels onder parlementaire controle. Een andere kijk op het primaat van de wetgever

In de Aanwijzingen voor de regelgeving staat dat met parlementaire betrokkenheid bij gedelegeerde wetgeving terughoudendheid moet worden betracht. De praktijk geeft daarvan echter niet steeds blijk, zo volgt (ook) uit een beknopt onderzoek naar in 2018, 2019 en 2022 gepubliceerde wetgeving. De auteurs bepleiten het ‘primaat van de wetgever’ een andere invulling te geven. Parlementaire betrokkenheid bij de totstandkoming van belangrijke normen is daarbij leidend. Aanwijzingen 2.35, 2.37 en 2.40 kunnen vervallen.
