Inventer ensemble notre futur numérique : une ardente obligation !
Authors: Curien Nicolas
Published: February 2019

Le phénomène des données massives ( big data ) a modifié en profondeur la nature du rapport entre expertise et décision. Dans le domaine du marketing, notamment, des cycles courts de programmation permettent l’activation de boucles adaptatives, l’action répondant en temps quasi-réel à la mesure. L’étape intermédiaire de la prévision est ainsi « économisée », l’algorithme transposant directement l’observation en stratégie. Cette caractéristique majeure de l’analyse moderne des données, déjà présente dans le courant de pensée français de la « prospective », dénote un glissement depuis l’attitude consistant à prédire le futur vers celle consistant à le forger, un changement de perspective qui nous invite à revisiter le dilemme entre déterminisme et libre arbitre. À cet égard, le très suggestif paradoxe de Newcomb constitue une base théorique utile à comprendre la mutation de la démarche prévisionniste en démarche « pré-visionnaire », dans le contexte actuel d’une invention collective de la société et de l’économie numériques.
Enfants confiés aux proches : comparaison France - Italie
Authors: Tillard Bernadette , Sità Chiara , Cadei Livia , Mosca Sarah
Published: February 2019

L’implication de la famille élargie et du réseau social des familles est un objet peu exploré en France comme en Italie. Cet article se focalise sur cette forme de suppléance familiale dans chacun de ces deux pays. Après avoir présenté les définitions de ces recours au placement dans la famille ou l’entourage en France et en Italie, les auteures mobilisent les connaissances statistiques et les rapports qui y sont publiés. Elles abordent les questions que posent ces sollicitations de l’entourage aux travailleurs sociaux. Une grande diversité des formes de recours en Italie contraste avec les statuts français plus figés de Tiers Digne de Confiance et du tout récent « accueil durable et bénévole ».
La paternité en contexte migratoire : déstabilisation et redéfinition du rôle paternel
Authors: Bergheul Saïd , Ramde Jean , Ourhou Abdelaaziz , Labra Oscar
Published: February 2019

L’intégration des pères immigrants ne se fait pas sans difficulté. Le processus migratoire est complexe et multidimensionnel. Malgré le fait que l’immigration est la plupart du temps planifiée, le contact du système familial immigrant avec les différents systèmes de la société d’accueil déclenche une série de déséquilibres. L’immigration a des impacts sur le rôle paternel dans le sens où elle déstabilise les pères, ébranle leurs identités et modifie leur engagement. Différents objectifs et questions de recherche sont abordés dans cette étude de type examen de portée (scoping review). Afin de localiser divers articles et recherches en français et en anglais publiés entre 2000 et 2017, plusieurs moteurs de recherches ont été interrogés à l’aide de mots clés en respect des critères d’inclusion et d’exclusion identifiés. Les résultats de l’analyse thématique des écrits (N=14) mettent l’accent sur la paternité dans les phases pré migratoire migratoire et post migratoire des pères. La question des pères immigrants réfugiés est aussi analysée. Il est important de préciser qu’il existe de grandes variétés de pères immigrants et différentes réactions au contexte migratoire.
Comparer les droites extrêmes
Authors: Froio Caterina
Published: February 2019

Les années 1980 marquent le début de « la troisième vague » des études sur les partis de droite radicale (PDR) qui ont émergé dans l’après-guerre en Europe. À partir de cette période, la littérature a consacré plus de publications à ces partis qu’à toutes les autres familles politiques. Sans prétendre à l’exhaustivité, l’article a pour objectif de proposer un état de l’art des travaux de facture comparative sur ce thème, structuré autour de trois questions : quelles sont les principales problématiques soulevées ? Quels cas d’études, données et méthodes d’enquête sont mobilisés ? Quelles recherches futures sont souhaitables dans un domaine d’étude déjà si riche ? Pour les aborder, l’article parcourt les évolutions réalisées dans les travaux comparatifs récents en langue française et anglaise sur les partis de la droite radicale. Je montre que les chercheurs ont commencé à s’intéresser à des problématiques et des cas plus variés que par le passé. Cependant à partir des années 1990 l’innovation théorique et méthodologique reste assez modeste, notamment lorsqu’il s’agit d’expliquer leur soutien électoral. En outre, les études qui s’intéressent à l’« impact » des droites radicales restent focalisées sur des domaines tels que ceux de l’immigration et de l’intégration européenne. Cet état des lieux souligne, d’une part, le besoin d’une recherche comparative novatrice qui reconnaisse plus explicitement la variété dans le champ des droites extrêmes et qui interroge critiquement l’usage du mot « populisme » ; d’autre part, la nécessité de travaux qui dépassent le paradigme du parti « outsider » pour la droite radicale afin d’en saisir les évolutions.
Pain After Anatomic Total Shoulder Arthroplasty Versus Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty

Published: February 2019

As anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) become increasingly common, differences between the 2 procedures are of importance. The purpose of this study was to determine differences in acute pain levels between patients undergoing aTSA and rTSA. Sixty patients undergoing aTSA or rTSA were assessed for participation. The primary outcome was postoperative daily visual analog scale scores, which were initially collected for 4 days postoperatively. Secondary outcomes included opioid consumption, length of stay, and complications. Comparisons between the 2 groups were assessed using a multivariable analysis, which controlled for sex, age, body mass index, and type of anesthetic. A total of 57 patients consented and were analyzed. No significant differences were found in postoperative visual analog scale scores in the first 4 days following surgery or at 1 year postoperatively. Patients undergoing aTSA had a higher mean opioid requirement in the first 4 hours postoperatively (1.0±0.7 vs 0.4±0.6 morphine milligram equivalents,
P
<.01). Forty percent of patients undergoing shoulder arthroplasty were prescribed narcotics within the 3 months prior to surgery. Patients who were prescribed narcotics prior to surgery were more likely to continue to require narcotics at extended time periods postoperatively. Patients undergoing aTSA required more opioid medication in the immediate postoperative period. However, after 4 hours postoperatively, no significant differences in pain scores or opioid consumption were found. These findings suggest that patients undergoing aTSA or rTSA have similar postoperative pain profiles. Patients who are prescribed narcotics before shoulder arthroplasty are at an increased risk for postoperative opioid demand. [

Ser caballero andante en tan detestable edad: antiguos y modernos en la autoconstrucción caballeresca de don Quijote
Authors: Álvarez Moreno Raúl
Published: February 2019

El estudio trata de mostrar cómo la disputa entre antiguos y modernos se constituye en un aspecto crucial en la autoconstrucción y en la deconstrucción de la identidad de Don Quijote. Éste, para lograr sus objetivos, se embarca en un proceso de imitación superador de sus modelos que se bifurca en el cuestionamiento de los mismos en tensión con su exaltación, así como en su autoensalzamiento en función de sus mismos atributos caballerescos. Tras analizar las desfavorables circunstancias de su siglo para el ejercicio de las armas, las derivadas de sus errores en el proceso imitativo y de sus propias deficiencias particulares, se ponen de relieve las divergencias insalvables entre su discurso emulador y la realidad, que le conducen a una derrota interior ficticia. Ésta será sólo aparente, al conseguir la mayor victoria, sobre sí mismo, tras liberarse de la imitiatio y en su posterior muerte, en la que supera a sus modelos. Su victoria final se verá refrendada por la consecución de sus objetivos de fama y gloria tras la muerte, por haber contribuido a mantener viva la llama humanística y por haber encontrado al historiador perfecto capaz de transmitir sus logros a las generaciones posteriores.

Don Quijote de la Mancha: el último caballero andante (de nuevo sobre la aventura de los leones)
Authors: Sales Dasí Emilio José
Published: February 2019

Este trabajo intenta profundizar, de nuevo, en la relación existente entre los libros de caballerías y el Quijote. Determinadas textuales y episódicas nos indican que Cervantes conoce y aplica elementos de la estética literaria precedente y plantea una salida original por medio del humor. La aventura de los leones puede ser vinculada con un famoso suceso del Amadís de Gaula. Pero también sirve para demostrar cómo Cervantes consigue plasmar el efecto cómico a través de desvíos intencionados y del sabio manejo del perspectivismo. Paralelamente, revela el proceso de dignificación que experimenta don Quijote en la Segunda parte de la obra, un título donde la conjunción de lo admirable y el humor permiten a su autor realizar una síntesis superadora de la tradición literaria caballeresca.
Don Quijote en la guerra del Francés
Authors: Caro López Ceferino
Published: February 2019

En 1808 algunos escritores políticos recurrieron a la figura de don Quijote para escribir unos opúsculos patrióticos en los que se comparaba a Napoleón y al Caballero manchego. Analizando esos textos se puede observar la ambivalencia del significado del personaje cervantino porque se lo consideraba a veces positivo y en otras ocasiones cargado de connotaciones negativas, por lo que la crítica a Napoleón se construía, según los casos, con la identificación o la oposición total de las dos figuras.
The Much Esteemed History of the Ever-Famous Knight Don Quixote de la Mancha (1699). El éxito editorial de una traducción abreviada inglesa
Authors: Lucía Megías José Manuel , G. Ardila J. A.
Published: February 2019

Análisis de una poco conocida versión abreviada del Quijote en inglés, publicada en Londres por N. y M. Boddington en 1699, y reeditada en varias ocasiones en los siglos XVIII y XIX. Se editan y analizan los paratextos literarios que acompañan la obra, así como las estampas que la ilustran. En el siglo XVII se publicaron cuatro traducciones abreviadas del Quijote, y, como se demuestra en este artículo, la versión de 1699 fue la que mejor acogida recibió. Se resalta aquí la importancia de esta obra para conocer mejor la primera recepción del Quijote en tierras inglesas.
Cervantes, los musulmanes nuevos y la Información de Argel
Authors: Ohanna Natalio
Published: February 2019

Aunque se sabe con toda seguridad que Cervantes intentó fugarse de su cautiverio en Argel en cuatro ocasiones, no se ha llegado todavía a una opinión consensuada respecto de las razones por las que sobrevivió ileso esas aventuras, cuando los fugitivos recapturados pagaban con graves suplicios que servían de ejemplo para la conservación de la principal actividad económica de ese dominio del Imperio Turco. Tras una breve revisión de las muchas conjeturas formuladas por críticos y biógrafos cervantistas, este artículo indaga en torno a los documentos relacionados con el cautiverio de Cervantes y otras fuentes del periodo, hallando una respuesta en la tesis de que en la Berbería de los siglos XVI y XVII existían unos vínculos amistosos y de cooperación entre los cautivos cristianos y la influyente comunidad de musulmanes nuevos.

La novela, publicada en 1954 en una revista diocesana pamplonesa y luego en forma de libro en 1993, constituye un eslabón más en la larga y fecunda cadena de recreaciones del inmortal personaje cervantino y sus aventuras, una prueba más de su enorme vigencia como mito universal.
Africanisms in Turku
Authors: Avram Andrei A.
Published: February 2019

Turku is an extinct Arabic-lexifier pidgin, formerly spoken in Chad. The only available description is found in Muraz (1926) and it consists of a brief grammatical sketch, a vocabulary, and six dialogues. Tosco & Owens (1993) have analyzed in great detail the phonology and morphosyntax of Turku; their study also includes two short sections on the vocabulary and an appendix containing the non-Arabic words in Turku, in which etyma are suggested only for borrowings from European languages. The present paper is the first investigation of the African component of the vocabulary of Turku, which consists of lexical items, including ideophones, as well as semantic calques. For each of these categories, wherever possible, their source languages are identified. It is shown that the source languages include mostly Sara-Bagirmi languages and Sango, but also Fulfulde, Hausa or Kanuri. A distinction is made between lexical items taken directly from various African languages and those which may have entered Turku via Western Sudanic Arabic, given their occurrence in Chadian varieties (Decorse & Gaudefroy-Demombynes 1905, Deredinger 1912, Lethem 1920, Jullien de Pommerol 1999, Behnstedt & Woidich 2011, Heath 2013, McKone 2013). The analysis of semantic calques makes reference to potential areal features, beyond genetic affiliations. The findings are briefly discussed in relation to the external history of Turku, with a focus on the sociohistorical context of its formation and use.
Variation in Prosodic and segmental marking of yes-no questions in Tunisian Arabic
Authors: Bouchhioua Nadia , Hellmuth Sam , Almbark Rana
Published: February 2019

Recent work has highlighted the consistent co-occurrence of a partial rise-fall prosodic contour with a segmental vowel epenthesis marker to mark yes-no questions in the Tunisian Arabic of Tunis; the incidence of the segmental marker (epenthesis) varied according to the external factor gender, but did not vary according to language internal factors, such as phonological environment. In this paper we explore the relationship between the prosodic and segmental question-marking strategies further in a production study which investigates: i) regional variation between the north (Tunis) and the south-east of Tunisia; and ii) potential transfer of one or both strategies into speakers’ spoken second language English. Greater incidence of epenthesis is observed in yes-no questions produced by speakers from the south-east, accompanied by a different prosodic contour (with a lower boundary tone), and a difference in the quality of the inserted vowel (tending towards [u]). In L2 English yes-no questions, a small subset of speakers displayed TA epenthesis in their English productions, but only when accompanied by a TA rise-fall contour. Taken together the results confirm the close relationship between the presence of epenthesis and the complexity of the accompanying prosodic contour (a rise-fall rather than a plain rise).
Éléments lexicaux hébreux ou pseudo-hébreux dans le parler judéo-arabe de Fès des années 40. Emplois contextuels, dérivations sémantiques, adaptations phonologiques
Authors: Sibony Jonas
Published: February 2019

Le parler judéo-arabe de Fès est une déclinaison de l’arabe fassi dont la culture spécifique et le mode de vie des locuteurs engage un renvoi vers la culture juive et se réfère constamment aux corpus de références de celle-ci (Bible hébraïque, Talmud etc.). En cela, nombre de mots hébreux et araméens s’immiscent dans la langue. Ces apports apparaissent majoritairement à l’écrit ou dans la langue des lettrés. Pourtant, une quantité plus modeste d’entre eux, mots hébreux ou pseudo-hébreux, s’intègre dans la langue parlée courante des hommes comme des femmes du quartier juif.
On the Way to Understand the Pan-Arab Voice
Authors: Attwa Mona Farrag
Published: February 2019

This paper presents the preliminary results of a PhD dissertation that investigates the linguistic features accessible to and employed by Arabs in their cross-country communication in a pan-Arab globalized TV setting, relating the indexicalities of these features to identity and ideology. The framework that guides the study is polylingualism in superdiverse communities. The scope of this paper focuses on the use of features of national dialects, the interlocutors’ dialects, and Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). The results show that Arabs dominantly use distinctive features of their national dialects. Using features from MSA or the interlocutor’s dialect, in most cases, is not to ensure clarity of communication. The use of these features serves functions such as creating a funny atmosphere and embracing everybody into the big sphere of Arabism and Arabness within. Results also show that in a globalized TV setting, Arabs tend to avoid getting into circumstances of incomprehensibility and project a sense of celebration of their superdiversity within an Arab world that is perceived as one.
Les futurs en arabe de Tripoli (Libye) : temporalité, aspectualité et modalités
Authors: Benmoftah Najah , Pereira Christophe
Published: February 2019

L’arabe de Tripoli contemporain possède divers marqueurs qui permettent d’exprimer différents futurs : le participe actif, la conjugaison préfixale nue et trois préverbes (b-, ḥā- et taw-). Le but de cette étude est de déterminer précisément la ou les fonction(s) de chacun de ces marqueurs, afin d’en préciser le sémantisme, par le biais d’une approche transcatégorielle, qui considère la façon dont vont s’entrecroiser les catégories du temps, de l’aspect et des modalités. Ces catégories linguistiques coexistent et se manifestent à des degrés différents, permettant à quatre « futurs » de se distinguer : le participe actif exprime l’aspect prospectif et nomme un procès situé en contigüité avec le moment d’énonciation, avec valeur de certitude ; la conjugaison préfixale nue exprime un futur aspectuel en rupture avec le moment de l’énonciation, donc non certain ; le préverbe ḥā- exprime un futur de certitude, mais en rutpure avec le moment d’énonciation ; le préverbe taw- exprime un futur d’engagement : l’énonciateur s’engage au moment de l’acte de parole à réaliser une action dans un futur situé en rupture avec le moment d’énonciation, donc dans le domaine du non certain. Quant au préverbe b-, il dit l’intention ; il marque en outre l’antériorité dans les subordonnées temporelles ; il exprime enfin l’éventuel et l’irréel.
Perceptual Dialectology of Egypt. A View from the Berber-Speaking Periphery
Authors: Serreli Valentina
Published: February 2019

Perceptual dialectology is a sub-branch of folk linguistics first systematized by Dennis Preston in the 1980s (e.g. Preston 1989, 1999). Through the technique of mental mapping, borrowed from cultural geography, perceptual dialectologists seek to discover the perceived distribution of speeches, populations, and prevailing ideologies. In the Arabic-speaking context, map task experiments were conducted by Theodoropoulou & Tyler (2014) among students at Qatar University, and by Hachimi (2015) among Moroccans of different age, gender, social class and origin, to identify dialect boundaries and labels across the Arabic-speaking world and to understand the underlying ideologies.This paper discusses lay speakers’ perception of the linguistic boundaries in Egypt, based on a map-drawing experiment submitted to secondary school students, in the Egyptian Oasis of Siwa. Siwa is a Berber enclave situated 50 km away from the Libyan border, where the beginning of mass Arabization dates back to the 1980s and whose geographical and social peripherality limited dwellers’ mobility and contact with outsiders. The map task, which asked the students to locate on a map of Egypt languages and dialects spoken in the country, was part of a questionnaire administered in 2011, with the aim of understanding the patterns of language use in the oasis, through the study of speakers’ attitudes, beliefs and ideologies (Serreli 2011). The results show that the respondents are aware of the major linguistic boundaries within Egypt, although they did not pay the same attention to all areas: Siwa, the area around Marsa Matruh, the Nile Delta region and Upper Egypt were identified quite clearly by a great number of students, while the Sinai Peninsula was taken into account to a lesser extent and the oases were largely ignored. The paper also presents the respondents’ labelling choices, which tell us something about their ideas and judgements of Egyptian communities and their reciprocal relationships.

Magnetic resonance imaging radiomic feature analysis of radiation-induced femoral head changes in prostate cancer radiotherapy
Authors: Abdollahi Hamid , Mahdavi Seied Rabi , Shiri Isaac , Mofid Bahram , Bakhshandeh Mohsen , Rahmani Kazem
Published: February 2019

Background and Purpose:

As a feasible approach, radiotherapy has a great role in prostate cancer (Pca) management. However, Pca patients have an increased risk of femoral head damages including fractures after radiotherapy. The mechanisms of these complications are unknown and time of manifestations is too long; however, they may be predicted by early imaging. The main purpose of this study was to assess the early changes in femoral heads in Pca patients treated with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) using multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) radiomic feature analysis.

Materials and Methods:

Thirty Pca patients treated with IMRT were included in the study. All patients underwent two mpMRI pre- and postradiotherapy. Thirty-four robust radiomic features were extracted from T1, T2, and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) obtained from diffusion-weighted images. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was performed to assess the significance of the change in the mean T1, T2, and ADC radiomic features postradiotherapy relative to preradiotherapy values. The percentage change values were normalized based on the natural logarithm base ten. Features were also ranked based on their median changes.

Results:

Sixty femoral heads were analyzed. All radiomic features have undergone changes. Significant postradiotherapy radiomic feature changes were observed in 20 and 5 T1- and T2-weighted radiomic features, respectively (P < 0.05). ADC features did not vary significantly postradiotherapy. The mean radiation dose received by femoral heads was 40 Gy. No fractures were observed within the follow-up time. Different features were found as high ranked among T1, T2, and ADC images.

Conclusion:

Early structural change analysis using radiomic features may contribute to predict postradiotherapy fracture in Pca patients. These features can be identified as being potentially important imaging biomarkers for predicting radiotherapy-induced femoral changes.

Using system simulation to search for the optimal multi-ordering policy for perishable goods
Authors: Huang Y.C. , Chang X.Y. , Ding Y.A.
Published: February 2019

This paper explores the possibility that perishable goods can be ordered several times in a single period after considering the cost of Marginal contribution, Marginal loss, Shortage, and Purchasing under stochastic demand. In order to determine the optimal ordering quantity to improve the traditional newsvendor and maximize the total expected profits, and then sensitivity analysis is taken to realize the influence of the parameters on total expected profits and decision variables respectively. In addition, this paper designed a multi-order computerized system with Monte Carlo method to solve the optimal solution under stochastic demand. Based on numerical examples, this paper verified the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed model. Finally, several specific conclusions are drawn for practical applications and future studies.
Siouxsie and the Banshees' Peepshow
Authors: Bennett Samantha
Published: February 2019

In 1978, Siouxsie and the Banshees declared 'We don't see ourselves in the same context as other rock'n'roll bands.' A decade later, and in the stark aftermath of a devastating storm, the band retreated to a 17th-century mansion house in the deracinated Sussex countryside to write their ninth studio album, Peepshow. Here, the band absorbed the bygone, rural atmosphere and its inspirational mise en scène, thus framing the record cinematically, as Siouxsie Sioux recalled, 'It was as if we were doing the whole thing on the set of The Wicker Man'.

Samantha Bennett looks at how Siouxsie and the Banshees' Peepshow is better understood in the context of film and film music (as opposed to popular music studies or, indeed, the works of other rock'n'roll bands). Drawing upon more than one hundred films and film scores, this book focuses on Peepshow's deeply embedded historical and aesthetic (para)cinematic influences: How is each track a reflection of genre film? Who are the various featured protagonists? And how does Peepshow's diverse orchestration, complex musical forms, atypical narratives and evocative soundscapes reveal an inherently cinematic record? Ultimately, Peepshow can be read as a soundtrack to all the films Siouxsie and the Banshees ever saw. Or perhaps it was the soundtrack to the greatest film they never made.
Blood Transfusion Trends in Primary and Revision Total Joint Arthroplasty: Recent Declines Are Not Shared Equally
Authors: Kimball Chloe C. , Nichols Christine I. , Vose Joshua G.
Published: February 2019

Introduction:

This study examined whether recent nationwide declines in the incidence of transfusion following total joint arthroplasty were equal across inpatient facilities.

Methods:

This analysis used the Premier database (2010 to 2015). Cohorts of primary total hip or knee arthroplasty (THA or TKA) and revision THA or TKA were defined.

Results:

Among 1,013,024 patients who met selection criteria, the overall incidence of transfusion declined from 2010 through 2015 (primary THA: 22.1% to 7.1%; primary TKA: 18.1% to 3.2%; revision THA: 30.6% to 18.5%; and revision TKA: 19.8% to 9.8%; all P < 0.001). However, patients older than 65 years were associated with lower odds of transfusion relative to those younger than 65 years (P < 0.05 for three of four cohorts); smaller hospitals were associated with higher odds versus large hospitals (P < 0.05 all cohorts), and academic hospitals were associated with higher odds of transfusion versus community facilities (P < 0.05 for three of four cohorts).

Discussion:

During this study period, a meaningful proportion of total joint arthroplasty procedures were performed at facilities with the most room to improve. Decreases in transfusion rates were dependent on specific hospital characteristics; these results may help direct targeted improvement initiatives.

Oral Opioids Are Overprescribed in the Opiate-Naive Patient Undergoing Total Joint Arthroplasty
Authors: Huang Philip S. , Copp Steven N.
Published: February 2019

Introduction:

The opioid epidemic in the United States continues to escalate and contribute to potentially preventable deaths. Because many opioid addictions begin with prescription medication, focus on limiting exposure and decreasing availability are essential. This study identifies the average number of opioid pills consumed following primary total knee and hip arthroplasty (TKA and THA) at our institution in opiate-naive patients to provide an estimate of medication required. We hypothesized that the average number of pills consumed for both TKA and THA was significantly less than the amount prescribed at discharge.

Methods:

We prospectively evaluated 99 consecutive patients undergoing primary TKA (51) and THA (48). Patient characteristics and opioid prescription information were pulled from review of medical records. Patients brought remaining pain medications to their first follow-up visit (30 days). We calculated the number of pills consumed. Pill consumption was converted into opioid morphine equivalents. Current pain level and the need for pain medication refill were assessed.

Results:

Median number of pills prescribed over 30 days was 90 for both TKA and THA. Median number of pain pills consumed was 67 in TKA patients and 37 in THA patients (P < 0.001). Higher oral morphine equivalent consumption was seen in TKA patients compared with THA patients. Mean pain scores of TKA and THA patients were 3.2 and 1.8, respectively (P = 0.002). Also, TKA patients were 5 times more likely to require a refill (P = 0.006) compared with THA patients.

Discussion:

Pain medication was significantly overprescribed by more than 34% in TKA and 140% in THA. Prescribing practices of narcotic pain medications following total joint arthroplasty result in significantly excess amount of opioids available for potential abuse.

In the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, Hitler and Stalin devised to partition Poland for all future. Toward their goal of enslaving the nation, the Nazis systematically exterminated the Polish intelligentsia and prohibited tertiary education to create a nation of serfs. Still, the Soviets and their lieutenants continued a policy with similar if largely non-lethal effects for another 45 years under the banner of social engineering. The fate of the Lwów School of Mathematics is a prominent example of brute atrocities but also of great resilience, enduring creativity and irrepressible revival. Among the world’s most advanced biotopes of mathematics in the interwar period, the Lwów School suffered debilitating losses from Hitler’s genocide, wartime emigration, and the post-war brain drain of defections inspired by communism. The Scottish Café was perhaps the best-known liberal scholarly hotbed of cutting-edge mathematical ideas east of Göttingen, the caliber of its patrons reflective of the most noteworthy mine of mathematical talent outside of Oxford, Cambridge, Paris and Moscow in its day. It is a conclusion strikingly evidenced by the Scottish Book: three-quarters of a century later, a quarter of the mathematical challenges described therein is still awaiting resolution.

De lange mars van het voorzorgsbeginsel: redding van de bij?

Na ruim tien jaar op de interne markt te zijn toegelaten, heeft de Commissie drie omstreden gewasbestrijdingsmiddelen (neonicotinoïden) verboden waarvan een causaal verband met bijensterfte in Europa werd vermoed. Vanwege wetenschappelijke onzekerheid hierover was het verbod gebaseerd op het voorzorgsbeginsel. Het beroep tegen deze toepassing van het beginsel is door het Gerecht in dit arrest ongegrond verklaard. Het is daarmee het eerste arrest waarin met zoveel woorden en zoveel overtuiging het voorzorgsbeginsel wordt getoetst en toegepast. Ondanks deze voorlopige zege voor de bescherming van milieu en menselijke gezondheid is het afwachten of de transitie naar een duurzaam gebruik van bestrijdingsmiddelen zal plaatsvinden. Dit hangt vooral samen met fundamentele vragen over de verhouding tussen de wetenschap en de politieke besluitvorming.

Hollow Core Slabs on Winkler Foundation
Authors: Al-Azzawi Adel A.
Published: February 2019

This research dealt with the linear elastic behavior of hollow core slabs resting on a linear Winkler type foundation. A finite difference method was used to model the slabs as wide beams and the foundation as elastic springs. The finite element method was also used to model the problem using ABAQUS 6.10 software program. A comparison between the method proposed in this paper and methods from previous studies was made to check the accuracy of the solutions. Several important parameters were incorporated in the analysis, viz. the hollow core size and shape, subgrade reaction and slab depth, to trace their effects on deflections, bending moments and shear forces. A computer program coded in Fortran was developed for the analysis of hollow core slabs on an elastic foundation. It was found that the maximum difference in deflection between the present study and the exact solution was 3% for the finite difference and 7% for the finite element method.

Transportation is an important life aspect to save travel time from one place to another. However, traffic congestion is a major problem. Therefore, PT TReKKa intends to develop Metro Kapsul, a mass public transportation system that is suitable for densely populated developed cities. A series of technical analyses and evaluations is necessary to ensure vehicle safety in steady-state curving, traction, and braking. The maximum velocity and acceleration/deceleration in these conditions can be used to decide the development and manufacturing process of Metro Kapsul. The analyses consisted of theoretical and numerical simulations. The theoretical analysis involved applying force equilibrium condition of a rigid body. The simulation was modeled according to a real model of Metro Kapsul. The results showed that both values could be categorized as comfortable based on ASCE 21.2-2008. From this study, the safe longitudinal acceleration and deceleration of Metro Kapsul were obtained, i.e. 0.90 m/s2 and 0.97 m/s2, respectively, while the emergency longitudinal deceleration is 1.25 m/s2. When cornering, the maximum velocity is limited by the centrifugal acceleration, which is 0.6 m/s2. To conclude, the current design of Metro Kapsul is already good in steady-state performance. Further research is required for full dynamic and transient conditions with track irregularities.
Development of Instant Microbial Starter for Production of Fermented Cassava Flour: Effect of Vacuum Drying Temperature, Carrier Media, and Storage Temperature
Authors: Kresnowati Made Tri Ari Penia , Bindar Yazid , Rahmina Fathya

Cassava is an important crop for tropical countries such as Nigeria, Brazil, Thailand, and Indonesia. The potential utilization of cassava in the food industry can be enhanced by processing cassava into fermented cassava flour (fercaf), which has been shown to have a neutral color and aroma as well as low cyanogenic content. The use of specific microbial starter in the cassava chip fermentation for fercaf production will direct the fermentation process, maintaining a high quality of the produced flour. Thereby, the availability of an easy-to-use microbial starter is important for the production of fermented cassava flour. The aim of this study was to evaluate vacuum drying methods in the preparation of microbial starter for fermented cassava flour production. In particular, the effects of carrier media, drying and storage temperature on cell viability in dry starter were tested. The results showed that different methods should be applied to different microbial species. Bacillus subtilis and Aspergillus Oryza should be prepared using fercaf as the carrier media at a drying temperature of 55 °C, whereas Lactobacillus plantarum starter should be prepared using skim milk as the carrier media at a drying temperatur of 40°C. Apart from B. subtilis, the starters should be stored in a refrigerator.
How can community-university engagement address family violence prevention? One child at a time.
Authors: DeRiviere Linda
Published: February 2019

Family violence in Indigenous communities is one of the most pressing policy challenges of our times. This issue is highly related to the stressors caused by the disadvantaged socio-economic circumstances of Indigenous peoples, such as poverty and unemployment, and community trauma attributed to colonization and a loss of culture. This article is a case study based on the evaluations of four community-university engagement initiatives for Indigenous children, youth, and their families at a small inner-city university. It documents six principles for policy development used to engage students in their education and to begin to perceive themselves as high school and post-secondary graduates. These programs are just a few examples of how a small inner-city university took an imaginative community development approach to promoting social change, with each program tantamount to an anti-violence strategy.
Keeoukaywin: The Visiting Way - Fostering an Indigenous Research Methodology
Authors: Gaudet Janice Cindy
Published: February 2019

Decolonizing research methodologies are increasingly becoming the forefront of research with, for and/or by Indigenous peoples. This paper aims to highlight an Indigenous research methodology that emerged from a Metis researcher’s relation with Omushkego people from Moose Cree First Nation (Moose Factory, Ontario, Canada) during my doctoral research from 2012 to 2016. The contents of the article represent a decolonizing process of doing research with a broader research aim to make links between land-based pedagogy and milo pimatisiwin (good life). It is with the Omushkego people of Moose Cree First Nation and how the community itself led me to remember, to reclaim and to regenerate what I came to identity as Keeoukaywin meaning the Visiting Way. With relationality at its core, the Visiting Way - Keeoukaywin - re-centers Metis and Cree ways of being as a practical and meaningful methodology to foster milo pimatisiwin, living and being well in relation. The study shows how an Indigenous research methodology promotes self-recognition in relation to the land, history, community and values and demystifies our own epistemic relation to historical truths.
Strafbare Strafverfolgung
Authors: Singelnstein Tobias
Published: February 2019

Judges, prosecutors and police officers tasked with criminal prosecution are given special powers authorising them to infringe upon constitutional rights and interests usually protected by criminal laws, e.g. to make arrests or to conduct surveillance. Reversely, abusing such powers is considered a gross injustice. It is between these poles that this book systematically examines the distinct conditions and limits of officials’ criminal liability for unlawful conduct. In doing so, it provides an essential piece that has so far been missing in a general doctrine of legal errors and their consequences concerning procedural errors in criminal proceedings. The work focuses on crimes against the administration of justice and against individual rights, particularities regarding the general limits of culpability, and specific limits pertaining to the offender’s position. The arising issues are solved based on the premise of criminal law’s comprehensive accessoriness to procedural law.
Assessment of Maneuverability in Waves
Authors: Shigunov Vladimir
Published: February 2019

Maneuverability of ships is presently standardized (normed) by rules of classification societies, shipowner requirements, and International Maritime Organization (IMO) standards for ship maneuverability. The latter address turning, initial turning, yaw checking, course keeping, and emergency stopping abilities, evaluated in simple standard maneuvers in calm water, and have practically become an industry standard. However, these standards do not address ship maneuverability in adverse weather conditions; after the introduction of the energy efficiency design index (EEDI), the importance of this issue increased because of concerns that propulsion and steering abilities of ships may become insufficient if EEDI requirements are achieved by simply reducing the installed power. To provide a rational basis for the standardization of maneuverability of ships in adverse weather conditions, relevant criteria, measures, and standards need to be developed, as well as efficient ways to evaluate the criteria in practical design and approval, keeping in mind that, on the one hand, maneuvering in waves is a difficult hydrodynamic problem, presently tackled in research projects in few centers worldwide, and, on the other hand, simple practical regulations are urgently required to be routinely used in design and approval of all new-built ships as a part of EEDI requirements. Obviously, this contradiction requires significant simplifications. The aim of this study was to outline possible approaches to practical assessment, based on a sequence of pragmatic simplifications and leading to practical assessment procedures of various complexity (some of which are implemented in the presently acting 2013 Interim Guidelines for determining minimum propulsion power to maintain the maneuverability of ships in adverse conditions, and in other proposals), validate the proposed simplifications, and summarize remaining difficulties.

1. Introduction

Maneuverability of ships is presently standardized (normed) by rules of classification societies, shipowner requirements, and nonmandatory (but gaining increasing acceptance by administrations and classification societies) IMO standards for ship maneuverability (IMO 2002), which address turning, initial turning, yaw checking, course keeping, and emergency stopping abilities, evaluated in simple standard maneuveres in calm water. These standards do not address ship maneuverability in adverse conditions, which requires, on the one hand, evaluation of ship-specific environmental forces and, on the other hand, assessment of the ability of the ship's steering and propulsion systems to overcome these forces.
