An Examination of the Triarchic Model of Psychopathy’s Nomological Network: A Meta-Analytic Review
Authors: Sleep Chelsea , Miller Josh , Lynam Donald , Weiss Brandon
Published: April 2019

Psychopathy is characterized by a constellation of traits including callousness, superficial charm, grandiosity, exploitativeness, irresponsibility, and impulsivity (e.g., Cleckley, 1941; Hare, 2003). Despite longstanding interest, the nature and scope of the construct as well as the centrality and sufficiency of its components remain debated (i.e., Fearless Dominance/Boldness; Miller & Lynam, 2012; Lilienfeld et al., 2012). Recently, the Triarchic Model of Psychopathy (TriPM; Patrick, Fowles, & Krueger, 2009) has garnered considerable interest, positing that psychopathy can be characterized by three partially overlapping, phenotypic domains: Boldness, Meanness, and Disinhibition. The present meta-analysis sought to examine the relations between these domains and other well-validated psychopathy measures and theoretically relevant outcomes in its nomological network. Across outcomes, Meanness and Disinhibition demonstrated robust convergent and criterion validity with other models of psychopathy as well as with pathological traits and externalizing outcomes; however, they manifested limited discriminant validity in relation to one another. In addition, empirical evidence for Boldness in relation to maladaptive outcomes was much weaker. Specifically, Boldness evinced the most robust relations with markers of adaptive functioning and only small relations with central criterion variables (e.g., externalizing behavior).
Testing the Spatial Accuracy of Address Based Geocoding for Gun Shot Locations
Authors: Wheeler Andrew Palmer , Gerell Manne , Yoo Youngmin
Published: April 2019

We assess the positional accuracy of address based geocoding of shooting incidents relative to the location recorded via acoustic gun-shot detection technology. This provides a test of the accuracy of typical address based geocoding methods used in crime analysis, as well as provides evidence for how much accuracy one gains when using sensors. Examining over 1,000 shooting incidents in Wilmington, North Carolina, we find that the majority of address-based incidents are quite accurate, on average within 60 feet of the actual location (using a street centerline geocoder), or within 90 feet (using Google rooftop geocoding). However, based on the incident narrative we identify a subset of transcription errors in over 10% of the cases that increases the distance between the true shooting location and that geocoded using address data. This suggests mechanisms to prevent human errors may be more frugal than those relying on sensors in geocoding shooting incidents. Data to replicate the analysis can be downloaded from https://www.dropbox.com/sh/bceyldwgj84ztlw/AABdQBnjKGdO3GUxWM0ZMd3Ya?dl=0.
Student Protests and Organised Labour: Developing a Research Agenda for Mobilisation in Late-Neoliberalism
Authors: Türkoğlu Didem
Published: April 2019

Students have a long history of protesting the introduction or rise of tuition fees. However, political parties do not often endorse their demands. Even the centre-left, which is known for its redistributive policies, does not necessarily ally itself with the student opposition to fees. In this article, I focus on the impact of social movement- organised labour alliances on the opposition of political parties to government policy. I argue that such alliances have a unique impact on centre-left parties, especially in relation to non-labour issues. I present two examples of this alliance, emerging from the quite different political contexts of Germany and Turkey. In Germany, student movements failed to block the introduction of tuition fees in 2006. However, in 2008-2011, after students established a deeper alliance with organised labour, tuition fees were scrapped. In Turkey, student movements had been protesting tuition fees for a quarter of a century before an alliance with labour gained the support of social democrats in 2011. These case studies suggest that labour-movement alliances are effective in shifting social democratic politics in higher education policy because of the labour's experience and know-how in alliance building with centre-left parties and the student mobilization's potential to make tuition fees an electoral issue cross-cutting party allegiances. This finding suggest that scholars need to take the degree of engagement in opposition alliances into account, in addition to union density, in order to more accurately measure the political power of the organised labour. This point has implications for analysing a variety of policy outcomes in policy areas exposed to permanent austerity measures.
Impacts of industrial and entrepreneurial jobs on youth: 5-year experimental evidence on factory job offers and cash grants in Ethiopia
Authors: Blattman Christopher , Franklin Simon , Dercon Stefan
Published: April 2019

We study two interventions for underemployed youth across five Ethiopian sites: a $300 grant to spur self-employment, and a job offer to an industrial firm. Despite significant impacts on occupational choice, income, and health in the first year, after five years we see nearly complete convergence across all groups and outcomes. Short run increases in productivity and earnings from the grant dissipate as recipients exit their micro-enterprises. Adverse effects of factory work on health found after one year also appear to be temporary. These results suggest that one-time and one-dimensional interventions may struggle to overcome barriers to wage- or self-employment.
Coronary angiography finding of exercise tread mill test positive patients in a tertiary care center
Authors: Shrestha Amit , Thapa Sanjeev , Shakya Shilendra , Shahi Ravi
Published: April 2019

Background: The diagnosis rate of coronary artery disease (CAD) has been dramatically increased with the development of interventional technique. Coronary angiography (CAG) is the “gold standard” tool for CAD diagnosis. Due to its invasive property, CAG has been limited. Treadmill test (TMT) is still broadly used as an economic and simple method to screen and assist the diagnosis of CAD. However, correct interpretation of such data is essential in determining diagnostic and treatment strategies.

Methods: All the patients attending outpatient department of Manmohan Cardiothoracic Vascular and Transplant Center (MCVTC) and having positive findings in tread mill stress test (TMT) using Bruce protocol underwent selective coronary angiography (CAG), in MCVTC Cath Lab using standard technique and were analyzed in multiple views with significant coronary stenosis defined as of ≥70 % lesion, 50-60% as borderline and 20-30% as minor coronary artery disease.

Results: A total of 303 patients (mean age 52.8 ±9.7 yrs) were included during a study period of approximately 1½ yrs (Oct 2015 to Dec 2016), among whom male were of average 53.6 ±10.5 yrs and female were of 51.7±8.6 yrs. Risk factor estimation among patients showed that 49.3 % were hypertensive, 29.9% were overweight, 15.2% were diabetic and 5.7% were smoker. Coronary angiography of patients revealed normal coronaries in 114(54.0%), borderline lesion in 29(13.7%) and significant lesion in 68 (32.2%). Among those with diagnosed coronary artery disease (CAD), 48(22.7%) had single vessel disease, 29(13.7%) had double vessel disease and 14(6.6%) had triple vessel disease. The sub group analysis based on of risk factor and coronary artery disease showed coronary artery diseases was highest among diabetics (57.7%) followed by smokers (55%) compared. The risk of Coronary artery disease found to be significantly higher among patient with ≥2 CAD risk factor. Males with stress test positive had significantly higher chances of having CAD than females (53% vs 35% respectively).

Conclusion: Coronary artery disease (CAD) among patients with TMT positive status is higher in patients with diabetics and smokers, especially those with two or more CAD risk factors. Results of this study showed that the pretest probability of treadmill stress-test is higher in males with two or more CAD risk factor especially diabetes and smoking compared to the female counterparts with similar factors, so should be supplemented by other non-invasive techniques (such as stress echocardiography, myocardial perfusion imaging) for further confirmation of diagnosis. (such as Astress echocardiography, myocardial perfusion imaging) for further confirmation of diagnosis.

Published: April 2019

Intrafocal pinning of distal radius fracture is indicated in unstable distal radius fractures without significant intra-articular displacement. It is a simple and effective, minimally invasive method of fixation for achievement of alignment and stability of unstable fractures. The study was conducted between November 2013 and October 2016. Patients attending the emergency and outpatient departments with history of trauma followed by pain and swelling of wrist, were evaluated clinically & radiologically. Patients with distal radius fracture who met the criteria were enrolled in the study. The operation was performed either under regional anaesthesia or intra venous anaesthesia. Reduction was carried out under image intensifier guidance and intrafocal pinning was undertaken with 2 Kirschner wires as described by Kapandji. Above elbow slab was applied for 3 weeks. Kirschner wires were removed at 6th week. Follow ups were done with radiological and functional evaluation on 1st week, 3rd week, 6th week, 12th week and 6 month. Of the 30 cases enrolled in our study, the age ranged from 40 to 72 years and the mean age of the patients was 54.77 years. The female/male ratio was 5:1 and the majority (83%) of patient sustained injury due to trivial trauma. All fractures united by 6 weeks. In the final follow up at 6th month, assessment of range of motion showed almost full range of motion. Functional evaluation was carried out with Gartland & Werleys Demerit point system (modified by Sarmiento et al). According to the score, 9 patients had excellent, 19 had well and 2 had fair results. None of the patient had poor results. Kapandji intrafocal pinning provides a stable fixation and good functional outcome in extraarticular distal radius fractures with few complications only.

Authors: Dayal Seema
Published: April 2019

Micro filarial infection is a common infection in India. In most of the cases microfilaria is an incidental finding in FNA smears prepared from swellings from various locations in the body Eosinophilia is generally associated with filarial infection. This study was conducted to know the association of microfilaria infection with different age group , clinical characters, eosinophilia. Method and Material: This study was done in Department of Pathology in Rural institute of Medical Sciences & Research Saifai Etawah (U.P.), India. Here, we include 30 cases which was clinically suspicious for microfilaria and also involves others in which microfilaria was incidental finding. Usually peripheral blood examination, FNAC and biopsy are done for the diagnosis of microfilaria. Result: The age of patients was from 16 years to 80 years. Maximum number of patients was of 21-30 years (33.33%). Swelling was chief clinical complaint (66.66%). Raised leucocyte count (70%), eosinophilia (33.33%) on blood smears, eosinophilia on cytology smears (26.66%) and raised erythrocyte sedimentation rate (46.66 %) were seen. Conclusion: Microfilaria infection is common health problem. Careful screening for microfilaria should be done in symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. Eosinophila is though usually seen with microfilaria infection but it is not mandatory to always found eosinophilia with microfilaria infection.

Authors: Marahatta Suchana , Upadhayay Paricha , Yadav Ramgyan
Published: April 2019

Syringoma is a benign appendageal neoplasm of the eccrine ducts. The word “Syringoma” has been derived from greek word “Syrinx”, meaning pipe of tube. Friedman & Butler has classified it into four principal clinical variants. Among them, generalized syringoma is a rare variant comprising two sub-varients: multiple syringoma and eruptive syringoma. It presents with multiple crops of skin colored to tan colored, flat topped papules of 1-3 mm diameter, distributed symmetrically over face, trunk and extrimities. It is a benign disease with great cosmetic concern.
Assessment of knowledge on non-pharmacological methods of pain relief during labour among nurses working in maternity and children hospital, Nepal
Authors: Dhakal Amshu , Shah Shrooti , Singh Babita
Published: April 2019

Background: Labor pain is a universal phenomenon and it is associated with the contraction of uterus. Rather than making the pain disappear with pharmacotherapy, the nurses can assist the laboring women to cope up with, build their self-confidence and maintain a sense of mastery of well-being. Thus, nurses must have knowledge to assess pain to implement pain relief strategies.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out among 52 nurses of Siddhartha Women and Children Hospital, Butwal, Nepal to assess Knowledge about Non-pharmacological Methods of Pain Relief during Labor using structured self-administered questionnaire. The reliability of the tool after pretesting was 0.883. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze the data.

Results: Among 52 nurses, 36.5% were 18-22 years of age, 46.2% of them had qualification of Proficiency certificate level Nursing, 40.4% had experience of 3 years- 6 years. In this study, 46.2% had satisfactory knowledge about non-pharmacological methods of pain relief during labor, 32.6% had fair knowledge and remaining 21.2% had poor knowledge.

Conclusion: This study concluded that less than half of the nurses had satisfactory knowledge about non-pharmacological methods of pain relief during labor. Since, there is an increased risk of complications resulting from pain and anxiety during labor, management of pain is very essential thus nurse’s knowledge on these methods is crucial. Hence, the nurses should be encouraged to enhance knowledge related to management of labor pain.

Guidelines for Implementing a Low-Cost Volunteer Desexing Skills Training Program for Veterinary and Veterinary Technology Students
Authors: Gates M. Carolyn , Littlewood Katherine E. , Kongara Kavitha , Odom Thomas F. , Sawicki Robert K.
Published: April 2019

Although desexing surgeries are considered a core clinical skill for small animal veterinary practice, it can be challenging for veterinary schools to provide students with adequate training opportunities in the traditional curriculum. At the Massey University School of Veterinary Science, we recently established an innovative extracurricular volunteer program designed to have students teaching other students how to perform different elements of desexing procedures as they progress through their degree. This program includes administrative and assistant roles for first-year students (responsible for client communication, patient restraint, and medical record keeping), physical exam and recovery roles for second-year students (responsible for assessing patient fitness for surgery, drawing up anesthetic drugs, and monitoring patients in recovery), anesthesia and neuter surgeon roles for third-year students (responsible for inducing, preparing, and monitoring spay patients and performing cat neuter surgeries), and spay surgeon roles for fourth- and fifth-year students (responsible for performing cat spay surgeries, discharging patients, and following up with clients to monitor recovery). This program has been successful in improving student confidence and competence while also providing a valuable low-cost desexing service to the community. In this article, we discuss the practical considerations and processes involved in implementing this program, including mapping the existing surgical curriculum, recruiting patients, setting up the surgical facilities, purchasing equipment and supplies, establishing standard operating procedures, developing training materials, maintaining clinic records, and monitoring program outcomes. These resources can serve as guidelines for other veterinary schools looking to expand desexing surgery training opportunities for students.
Development and Validation of a Canine Castration Model and Rubric
Authors: Hunt Julie A. , Heydenburg Matthew , Kelly Christopher K. , Anderson Stacy L. , Dascanio John J.
Published: April 2019

Veterinary educators use models to allow repetitive practice of surgical skills leading to clinical competence. Canine castration is a commonly performed procedure that is considered a Day One competency for a veterinarian. In this study, we sought to create and evaluate a canine pre-scrotal closed castration model and grading rubric using a validation framework of content evidence, internal structure evidence, and relationship with other variables. Veterinarians ( n = 8) and students ( n = 32) were recorded while they performed a castration on the model and provided survey feedback. A subset of the students ( n = 7) then performed a live canine castration, and their scores were compared with their model scores. One hundred percent of the veterinarians and 91% of the students reported that the model was helpful in training for canine castration. They highlighted several areas for continued improvement. Veterinarians’ model performance scores were significantly higher than students’, indicating that the model had adequate features to differentiate expert from novice performance. Students’ performance on the model strongly correlated with their performance of live castration ( r = .82). Surgical time was also strongly correlated ( r = .70). The internal consistency of model and live rubric scores were good at .85 and .94, respectively. The framework supported validation of the model and rubric. The canine castration model facilitated cost-efficient practice in a safe environment in which students received instructor feedback and learned through experience without the risk of negatively affecting a patient’s well-being. The strong correlation between model and live animal performance scores suggests that the model could be useful for mastery learning.

Intraoperative monitoring of olfactory function: a feasibility study
Authors: Momjian Shahan , Tyrand Rémi , Landis Basile N. , Boëx Colette
Published: April 2019

OBJECTIVE

Intraoperative neuromonitoring of the chemical senses (smell and taste) has never been performed. The objective of this study was to determine if olfactory-evoked potentials could be obtained intraoperatively under general anesthesia.

METHODS

A standard olfactometer was used in the surgical theater with hydrogen sulfide (4 ppm, 200 msec). Olfactory-evoked potentials were recorded in 8 patients who underwent neurosurgery for resection of cerebral lesions. These patients underwent routine target-controlled propofol and sufentanil general anesthesia. Frontal, temporal, and parietal scalp subdermal electrodes were recorded ipsilaterally and contralaterally at the site of the surgery. Evoked potentials were computed if at least 70 epochs (0.5–100 Hz) satisfying the artifact rejection criterion (threshold 45 μV) could be extracted from signals of electrodes.

RESULTS

Contributive recordings were obtained for 5 of 8 patients (3 patients had fewer than 70 epochs with an amplitude < 45 μV). Olfactory-evoked potentials showed N1 responses (mean 442.8 ± 40.0 msec), most readily observed in the patient who underwent midline anterior fossa neurosurgery. No component of later latencies could be recorded consistently.

CONCLUSIONS

The study confirms that olfactory-evoked potentials can be measured in response to olfactory stimuli under general anesthesia. This demonstrates the feasibility of recording olfactory function intraoperatively and opens the potential for neuromonitoring of olfactory function during neurosurgery.

Pertambahan jumlah penduduk tiap tahunnya tentu memperbesar kebutuhan air bersih, sehingga sistem distribusi air bersih sangat penting. Dalam penelitian ini sumber air yang digunakan sebagai sistem distribusi air bersih adalah dari waduk yang ada di Desa Mojosari Kecamatan Mantup. Desa Mojosari terdapat sebuah waduk yang berada di tengah desa dengan luasan 2 Ha dan kedalaman 3 meter. Tahap analisa data meliputi perhitungan proyeksi jumlah penduduk, perhitungan besar debit sampai tahun proyeksi, analisa volume waduk Desa Mojosari, kecepatan aliran pipa, analisa kehilangan tinggi tekan mayor losses dan minor losses. Dari hasil penelitian diketahui kapasitas waduk yang ada saat ini di Desa Mojosari adalah 6.000.000 lt. Sedangkan kebutuhan puncak musim kemarau terjadi selama dua bulan sebesar 14.452.731 liter.  Jadi waduk yang ada belum mampu mencukupi kebutuhan air bersih bagi masyarakat Desa Mojosari. Kehilangan tinggi tekan pipa total akibat gesekan (mayor losses) dan perubahan karakteristik aliran (minor losses) yaitu sebesar 55,27 m. Kata Kunci: Distribusi Air Bersih, Kapasitas Waduk, Desa Mojosari, Mayor Losses
Flint models in sparks of interdisciplinarity

Cutting off the degrees of freedom, the models retain the element of the game and vulnerability - the cradle of scientific creativity. The established conceptual apparatus dictates the “rules of the game”, regulates the meaningful work of the language, defining actions according to the rules, in violation of the rules, their permissible change, etc. Inventing different language games (practical situations of possible application of basic concepts), we train conceptual competence (orientation, dexterity) of readers, students, instilling in them skills of applying concepts in changing situations, the ability to get out of conceptual deadlocks (L. Wittgenstein).

In the meaning of thinking style and cognitive activity, modeling saturates interdisciplinary communication (communus gifts of communication) with interval “exchange zones” (Peter Galison), builds “corridor situations” (M. Petrov), improves games in communication, overcoming breaks and pauses of misunderstanding. or ignorance. It reproduces, if possible, the traditional in cognitive activity.

To overcome the resistance of the stranger in his pragmatic development and discovery of the new. To expand the horizon of one’s own vision, understanding and representation in the striving to see the phenomenon in integrity. The language of the model makes it possible to bypass the disciplinary tightness of discourse at the expense of internal resources to be both open and autonomous - adaptively movable and stabilizing. In an instrumental sense, the model performs a constitutive function, organizing knowledge in a single pattern. This creates a prototype of the convergence mechanism, although the “qualifying” modeling function primarily enhances disciplinary disunity. Moving in the fork "between" disciplinary and conceptual disunity, modeling, as a state and mode of existence of cognitive activity, has the ability to generate a new one, its modeling. The assimilation of the life-giving function of modeling can be reproduced in the process of transdisciplinary learning and learning at the intersection of disciplinary and practical tasks in the model embodiment. In the zone of solving existential problems that go into the life world not only of an individual, a taste is born to expand the personal competencies of design and modeling that are in demand by the modern community.

Despite their wide clinical usage, stent functionality may be compromised by complications at the site of implantation, including early/late stent thrombosis and occlusion. Although several studies have described the effect of fluid-structure interaction on local haemodynamics, there is yet limited information on the effect of the stent presence on specific hemorheological parameters. The current work investigates the red blood cell (RBC) mechanical behavior and physiological changes as a result of flow through stented vessels. Blood samples from healthy volunteers were prepared as RBC suspensions in plasma and in phosphate buffer saline at 45% haematocrit. Self-expanding nitinol stents were inserted in clear perfluoroalkoxy alkane tubing which was connected to a syringe, and integrated in a syringe pump. The samples were tested at flow rates of 17.5, 35 and 70 ml/min, and control tests were performed in non-stented vessels. For each flow rate, the sample viscosity, RBC aggregation and deformability, and RBC lysis were estimated. The results indicate that the presence of a stent in a vessel has an influence on the hemorheological characteristics of blood. The viscosity of all samples increases slightly with the increase of the flow rate and exposure. RBC aggregation and elongation index (EI) decrease as the flow rate and exposure increases. RBC lysis for the extreme cases is evident. The results indicate that the stresses developed in the stent area for the extreme conditions could be sufficiently high to influence the integrity of the RBC membrane.

Background: Considering the role of psychological components in the life of patients with cancer, the present study was conducted to investigate the relationship between mental, existential, and religious well-being and death anxiety in women with breast cancer.

Methods: In this descriptive, correlational study, the statistical population included all women with breast cancer referred to Shahid Rahimi Hospital in Khorramabad in 2017. A sample of 100 patients was selected through convenience sampling and data were collected using Templer’s Death Anxiety Scale, the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale, and the Spiritual Well-being Scale. For the purpose of data analysis, mean, standard deviation, Pearson’s correlation coefficient and multiple regression were applied using SPSS 22.

Results: The study findings indicated a significant, negative correlation between mental well-being, existential well-being, and religious well-being and death anxiety in patients with breast cancer (α = 0.05).

Conclusion: According to the results of this study, mental, existential, and religious well-being are important contributors to mental health and quality of life of patients with cancer. Therefore, enhancing these components in cancer patients can be introduced as a complementary treatment along with medical treatments in order to improve psychological problems in clinical settings.
