Authors: Yadav Vijendra , Ganie Parvez Ahmad , Prasad Rajendra Pranav , Jeyaraman Madhan
Published: October 2021

Background: Inter-condylar fractures of the distal humerus are uncommon injuries and present the most difficult challenge among fractures of the lower end of the humerus. The principle involves anatomical reduction and fixation with stabilization of extra-osseous implants. The functional outcome has been greatly influenced by the early graduated rehabilitative exercise. We aimed to evaluate the functional outcome of inter-condylar fractures of the distal humerus in adults using bi-columnar plating through a trans-olecranon approach.

Methods: A prospective study with 40 adult patients with inter-condylar fracture of the distal humerus were managed with bi-columnar plating through a trans-olecranon approach and were followed up for 12 months. The functional outcome was analysed by Mayo’s Elbow Performance Score (MEPS) at the end of 12 months follow up.

Results: The average age of study participants were 50.8 years. A total of 24 cases were due to RTA and 16 cases were due to direct falls. Out of 40 cases, 6 (15%) were of B1 type, 2 (5%) were of type B2, 12 (30%) were of C1, 10 (25%) of C2, and 10 (25%) were of the type of C3 according to AO classification. According to MEPS at the end of the 12th-month follow-up, excellent results were seen in 24 (60%), good in 8 (20%), fair in 6 (15%), and poor results in 2 (5%) cases.

Conclusions: Anatomically, bi-columnar plating for distal humerus is useful in providing stable fixation for complex distal articular fractured by trans-olecranon approach and facilitating early postoperative rehabilitation. Clinical and radiological results showed a good healing rate with a good range of motion.

Published: October 2021

Schwannoma is the most common type of benign tumor arising from the sheaths of the peripheral nerves. It occurs as a solitary tumor in most cases, but when it appears in multiple forms, it is necessary to differentiate it from plexiform schwannoma, schwannomatosis, neurofibroma and malignant peripheral nerve tumors. The authors experienced schwannomatosis in the tibial nerve without the features of neurofibromatosis type 2, so here we present a case report and literature review.
“Paris is Rome in Our Kingdom”. Political and Symbolic Bases of the Status of the Capital of France
Authors: Tsaturova Susanna
Published: October 2021

The article examines the process of the formation of Paris as the capital of France. The analysis is based on two directions. On the one hand, the main milestones of the history of Paris are explored, from ancient Lutetia in the era of Julius Caesar to the principal city of the French Kingdom under Philip II Augustus and the capital in the 14th — 15th centuries. By the 12th century, the city was given priority by its gigantic population, economic power, convenient location at the intersection of river and land trade routes, and its transformation into the intellectual capital of the West thanks to the fame of the Paris schools and university. No less important were the symbolic merits of the city: antiquity, the function of protecting the population, and the heroic past. The combination of these advantages determined the Capetians’ choice of Paris as the capital of the kingdom. On the other hand, the article examines the formation of the concept of “capital” and its meaning in the context of the formation of a centralized state. The political center of the country made the city the seat of the person of the monarch and his authorities. The status of the capital was expressed by the concept of “common homeland”, taken from Roman law. The primary weapon for gaining this status in the Middle Ages was the function of justice as a guarantee of the protection of the common interest and a resort for all. In this context, the symbol of the capital in the 13th — 15th centuries became the royal Palace on the island of Cité, where the supreme court of the country, the Parliament of Paris, administered justice regardless of the presence of the king. The analogy of the Parliament with the Roman Senate reinforced the political and social claims of the parliamentarians. The transformation of the Palace of Cité into a Palace of Justice now symbolizes this significant political heritage of medieval urbanism.

Authors: Madugba Joseph Ugochukwu , Agburuga Tony Uche , Egbide Ben-Caleb , Oludaro Fadoju, Samuel , Falaye Joseph
Published: October 2021

The management of public expenditure is crucial due to its effect on people’s standard of living. In line with this, this study investigated public expenditure growth and national consumption costs using a vector error correction approach. The objective is to determine the effect of capital and recurrent expenditure on the consumer price index. The dependent variable in this study is national consumption measured by the consumer price index, while the independent variable is public expenditure measured by capital and recurrent expenditures. An ex post facto research design was adopted, and data for the study spanning from 1981 to 2019 was sourced from the World Bank. Descriptive statistics, unit root tests, cointegration tests and vector error correction estimates were all conducted with the aid of EViews 9. Based on the results, we concluded that there is a positive but insignificant relationship between the consumer price index and capital and recurrent expenditures of the government in Nigeria. We recommend that Nigeria’s government should increase expenditure on projects that will improve the economy and the living standards of the people. Additionally, there is an urgent need for proper monitoring of allocations contained in the budget to ensure efficient and effective utilization of funds, as this will help to improve the standard of living of the people and improve the economy.

Quo Vadis Constitutional Complaint in Indonesia: Authority and Discretion of Constitutional Judges/Quo Vadis Constitusional Complaint di Indonesia: Antara Kewenangan dan Diskresi Hakim Konstitusi
Authors: Mahfiana Layyin , Lisma Lisma
Published: October 2021

AbstractThe guarantee of citizens' constitutional rights is one of the conditions for realizing an excellent legal state. However, several studies show that there is no precise mechanism for filing constitutional complaints. Although since 2003, a Constitutional Court has been established. This article aims to describe the problems of filing a constitutional complaint in Indonesia. This article is based on doctrinal legal research with a statutory and conceptual approach. The results of this study indicate that there is no regulation that authorizes the handling of constitutional complaint cases to the Constitutional Court. Judges of the Constitutional Court are rigid in examining cases under their authority and have never exercised discretion over them. This condition has the potential to ignore the constitutional rights of citizens. So there is a need for an amendment to the 1945 Constitution and a revision to the Constitutional Court Law. However, this change requires political will from the authorities.Keywords: constitusional complaint; constitutional court; discretion.Abstrak Jaminan hak konstitusi warga negara merupakan salah satu syarat terwujudnya negara hukum yang baik.

Artikel ini berdasarkan penelitian hukum doktrinal dengan pendekatan peraturan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan konseptual. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa belum ada regulasi yang memberikan kewenangan penanganan perkara constitutional complaint kepada Mahkamah Konsitusi. Hakim Mahkamah Konstitusi rigid dalam memeriksa perkara yang menjadi kewenangannya dan tidak pernah melakukan diskresi terhadapnya. Kondisi ini berpotensi mengabaikan hak-hak konstitusi warga negara.

Legal Analysis of the Nature of Cyber Currency in Iran: A Comparison to EU Law
Authors: Norouzi Nima
Published: October 2021

Electronic money as the monetary value stored in an electronic instrument is the last step in the gradual evolution of money, described as the immaterialization and invisibility of money. It is an emerging phenomenon that can perform the functions and duties of money. This study aimed to investigate the legal concept of cyber currency in Iran-Islamic and EU law in a comparative view. This study mainly considered e-money as a payment method and discusses it from different perspectives. In analyzing the legal nature of this phenomenon, it used two different approaches by combining an empirical-analytical method and a comparative study. The first approach was to analyze the nature of electronic money as a type of money. The second was to analyze the nature of electronic money in the light of non-monetary theories and describe it as one of the legal institutions used in business. This study concluded that electronic money would have different legal effects in its legal analysis, depending on who the publisher and acceptor are and how its publication and circulation process is defined and explained. The description of electronic money in the form of non-monetary theories ignored its role as an efficient payment tool in today's advanced business environment.

Published: October 2021

Propomos analisar por meio de uma abordagem enunciativa como as formas linguísticas representadas por verbos pronominais, apaixonar-se e arrepender-se, se sustentam na articulação entre o referencial histórico e as pertinências do dizer na atualidade, à luz dos pressupostos teórico-metodológicos da Semântica da Enunciação, desenvolvidos por Eduardo Guimarães (1995, 2005) e Luiz Francisco Dias (2013a, 2013b, 2015a, 2015b, 2018a), no Brasil. Observamos que as ocorrências enunciativas com os verbos pronominais significam por uma memória de sentidos que ganha pertinência na atualidade do dizer e tematizam relações de afetividade entre os interlocutores que podem ou não obter êxito com a reciprocidade de sentimentos, ideais e ações.
Efeitos de sentidos dos verbetes "colonizador" e "colonizadora" nos relatos sobre a colonização de Sinop
Authors: Warmling Keila Rejane , Nunes Silvia Regina
Published: October 2021

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo refletir sobre os sentidos postos em circulação a partir dos verbetes dicionarizados colonizador e colonizadora, bem como os modos como esses verbetes foram/são tomados em relação à historiografia Sinopense. Nesse sentido, ao articular a História das Ideias Linguísticas e a Análise de Discurso materialista, refletimos sobre os instrumentos linguísticos não apenas em sua função metalinguística, mas na relação com a historicidade. Assim, constatamos que a ausência da marcação do gênero feminino nos dicionários e o não-uso do termo colonizadora para designar a mulher-empreendedora atestam as assimetrias que sempre permearam as questões de gênero.

Authors: Putra I Nyoman Wijana Asmara , Ratnadi Ni Made Dwi
Published: October 2021

Intangible assets, such as information, are becoming increasingly essential to companies. Intellectual capital is another term for knowledge assets. The aim of this study is to find empirical evidence of the influence of intellectual capital and intellectual capital disclosure on firm valuation, as well as to identify the types of disclosures made by the banking industry listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2015-2019. The data used in the analysis were secondary data from annual reports. A six-way numerical coding scheme determines the disclosure item index. With 36 disclosure objects, the disclosure categories are divided into three categories: structural capital, human capital, and external capital. Content analysis and multiple linear regression are two data analysis methods. The results of the analysis show that an average of 49.91 percent is expressed in the form of a narrative, 16.44 percent is in the form of a combination of qualitative and quantitative, 7.53 percent is in the form of numbers and 1.44 items are expressed in the form of monetary units (rupiah). Meanwhile, an average of 24.33 percent of items of disclosure were not disclosed. Intellectual capital disclosure has a positive impact on firm value, while intellectual capital has no impact. According to research, investors in the banking industry consider intellectual capital disclosure when making investments.

Published: October 2021

O processo de envelhecimento humano traz modificações na capacidade funcional dos idosos. O risco para a incapacidade funcional se agrava quando o idoso é acometido pela Doença de Alzheimer (DA). Nosso objetivo foi avaliar a funcionalidade, de idosos com DA, por meio das atividades instrumentais de vida diária (AIVDs) e relacioná-la com o estágio da doença. A amostra foi composta por 56 idosos com DA, para avaliação das AIVDs utilizou-se a Escala de Lawton e Brody e para avaliar o estágio da doença a Escala de Avaliação Clínica da Demência (CDR). Os dados foram apresentados na forma de estatística descritiva. A maior parte dos participantes encontrava-se no estágio grave da doença (CDR3: 41,1%) e a minoria deles no estágio inicial (CDR1: 23,2%). Em relação às AIVDs a maioria dos idosos com foi classificada com dependência total (35,7%), e os idosos no estágio grave da doença foram os que mais apresentaram dependência total (30,3%). Apenas idosos do grupo que se encontrava no estágio leve obtiveram classificação de independentes (5,3%), e nesse mesmo grupo não houve nenhum classificado como dependente total. Em conclusão observamos que, idosos com Doença de Alzheimer apresentam um declínio funcional progressivo na realização de atividades de vida diária.
A2CM: a new multi-agent algorithm
Authors: Paczolay Gabor , Harmati Istvan
Published: October 2021

Reinforcement learning is currently one of the
most researched fields of artificial intelligence. New algorithms are being
developed that use neural networks to compute the selected action,
especially for deep reinforcement learning. One subcategory of reinforcement
learning is multi-agent reinforcement learning, in which multiple agents are
present in the world. As it involves the simulation of an environment, it
can be applied to robotics as well. In our paper, we use our modified
version of the advantage actor–critic (A2C) algorithm, which is suitable for
multi-agent scenarios. We test this modified algorithm on our testbed, a
cooperative–competitive pursuit–evasion environment, and later we address
the problem of collision avoidance.

Optical metrology has an increasing impact on
observation and experimental activities in Civil Engineering, contributing
to the Research and development of innovative, non-invasive techniques
applied in testing and inspection of infrastructures and construction
materials to ensure safety and quality of life. Advances in specific
applications are presented in the paper, highlighting the application cases
carried out by LNEC (the Portuguese National Laboratory for Civil
Engineering). 

The examples include: (i)
structural monitoring of a long-span suspension bridge; (ii) use of close
circuit television (CCTV) cameras in drain and sewer inspection; (iii)
calibration of a large-scale seismic shaking table with laser
interferometry; (iv) destructive mechanical testing of masonry
specimens.

Current and future research
work in this field is emphasized in the final section. Examples given are
related to the use of Moiré techniques for digital modelling of
reduced-scale hydraulic surfaces and to the use of laser interferometry for
calibration of strain measurement standard for the geometrical evaluation of
concrete testing machines.
Uncertainty of factor Z in gravimetric volume measurement
Authors: Win Mar Lar
Published: October 2021

In the gravimetric volume measurement method,
the factor Z is generally used to facilitate an easy
conversion from the apparent mass obtained using a balance to the liquid
volume. The uncertainty of the measurement used for the liquid volume can be
divided into two specific contributions: one from the components related to
the mass measurements and one from those related to the mass-to-volume
conversion. However, some ISO standards and calibration guides have
suggested that the uncertainty due to the factor Z is
generally neglected in the uncertainty calculation pertaining to gravimetric
volume measurement. This paper describes the combined effects of the density
of the water, the density of the reference weights, and the air buoyancy on
the uncertainty of factor Z in terms of how they
subsequently affect the uncertainty of the measurement
results.
A Multi-source Information Fusion Approach in Tunnel Collapse Risk Analysis based on Improved Dempster-Shafer Evidence Theory

Published: October 2021

The tunneling collapse is the main engineering hazard in the construction of the drilling-and-blasting method. The accurate assessment of the tunneling collapse risk has become a key issue in tunnel construction. As for assessing the tunneling collapse risk and providing basic risk controlling strategies, this research proposes a novel multi-source information fusion approach that combines Bayesian network (BN), cloud model (CM), support vector machine (SVM), Dempster-Shafer (D-S) evidence theory, and Monte Carlo (MC) simulation technique. Those methods (CM, BN, SVM) are used to analyze multi-source information (i.e. statistical data, physical sensors, and expert judgment provided by humans) respectively and construct basic probability assignments (BPAs) of input factors under different risk states. Then, these BPAs will be merged at the decision level to achieve an overall risk evaluation, using an improved D-S evidence theory. The MC technology is proposed to simulate the uncertainty and randomness of data. The novel approach has been successfully applied in the case of the Jinzhupa tunnel of the Pu-Yan Highway (Fujian, China). The results indicate that the developed new multi-source information fusion method is feasible for (a) Fusing multi-source information effectively from different models with a high-risk assessment accuracy of 98.1%; (b) Performing strong robustness to bias, which can achieve acceptable risk assessment accuracy even under a 20% bias; and (c) Exhibiting a more outstanding risk assessment performance (97.9% accuracy) than the single-information model (78.8% accuracy) under a high bias (20%). Since the proposed reliable risk analysis method can efficiently integrate multi-source information with conflicts, uncertainties, and bias, it provides an in-depth analysis of the tunnel collapse and the most critical risk factors, and then appropriate remedial measures can be taken at an early stage.

Authors: Liang Chao , Zhang Xiangrong , Cui Dedong , Yan Zhengang , Zhang Xiangyu , Chen Puhua , Luo Qiang , Hu Jiang , He Xuan
Published: October 2021

The accuracy of the pitch angle deviation directly affects the guidance accuracy of the laser seeker. During the guidance process, the abnormal pitch angle deviation data will be produced when the seeker is affected by interference sources. In this paper, aiming to detect abnormal data in seeker pitch angle deviation data, a method based on Smooth Multi-Kernel Polarization Support Vector Data Description (SMP-SVDD) is proposed to detect abnormal data in guidance angle data. On the one hand, the polarization value is used to determine the weight of the multi-kernel combination coefficient to obtain the multi-kernel polarization function, and the particle swarm optimization is used to find the optimal kernel, which improves the detection accuracy. On the other hand, the constrained quadratic programming problem is smooth and differentiable, and the conjugate gradient method can be applied to reduce the complexity of problem solving. Through simulation experiments, it is verified that the SMP-SVDD method has higher detection accuracy and faster calculation speed compared with different detection methods in different guidance stages.

Authors: ADAM-TROIAN Jais , Arciszewski Thomas , Bonetto Eric
Published: October 2021

PurposeThe assessment of population mental health relies on survey data from representative samples, which come with considerable costs. Drawing on research which established that absolutist words (e.g. never) are semantic markers for depression, we propose a new measure of population mental health based on the frequency of absolutist words in online search data (Absolute Thinking Index; ATI). Our aims were to first validate the ATI, and to use it to model public mental health dynamics in France and the UK during the current COVID-19 pandemic. MethodsTo do so, we extracted time series for a validated dictionary of 19 absolutist words, from which the ATI was computed (weekly averages, 2019-2020, n = 208) using Google Trends. We then tested the relationship between ATI and longitudinal survey data of population mental health in the UK and France. ResultsATI was linked with survey depression scores in the UK, r = .68, 95%CI[.34,.86], β = .23, 95%CI[.09,.37] in France and displayed similar trends. We finally assessed the pandemic’s impact on ATI using Bayesian structural time-series models. These revealed that the pandemic increased ATI by 3.2%, 95%CI[2.1,4.2] in France and 3.7%, 95%CI[2.9,4.4] in the UK. Mixed-effects models showed that ATI was related to COVID-19 new deaths in both countries β = .14, 95%CI[.14,.21]. ConclusionOur results demonstrate the validity of the ATI as a measure of population mental health (depression) in France and the UK. We propose that researchers use it as cost-effective public mental health “thermometer” for applied and research purposes.
