Prospective study of management of Schatzker’s type V & VI tibial plateau fractures by different types of plate osteosynthesis
Authors: Patil Siddaram N. , Srinivas Pandurangaiah , Bhandary Divya
Published: August 2017

Background: Schatzker‘s type V and type VI fractures are bicondylar tibial plateau fractures which pose a challenge to the treating orthopaedician. Several studies have compared unilateral locked plate and double plating for their treatment and showed no statistically significant difference between these two fixation methods. So the quest for ideal implant for internal fixation (unilateral plating and dual plating) of these fractures continues. Hence we decided to do this study.

Methods: A prospective study of Surgical Management of thirty seven cases of Schatzker’s type V and VI tibial plateau fractures by different types of plate osteosynthesis (single unilateral locking plate and dual incision locking buttress plate) was carried out. The functional outcomes were assessed by the hospital for special surgery knee score system.

Results: 18 patients were fixed with a unilateral locking plate, 19 patients were fixed with a dual incision bilateral locking plates. All patients had satisfactory articular surface reduction and axis of alignment on immediate postoperative radiographs. All cases achieved union by 4.8 months approximately. All patients had either excellent or good HSS score. Mean HSS score at recent follow-up was 86.10 in DP group and 83 in SP groups (t value 2.81, p values 0.008).

Conclusions: We conclude that single plating and dual plating fixation of complex proximal tibial plateau fracture Schatzker‘s type 5 and type 6 ensures stable fixation, immediate mobilization, satisfactory radiological outcome, very high union rates and excellent functional assessment outcome with a very low rate of complications.
Tinea pedis: a clinico mycological study
Authors: Priya Balakrishnan Thenmozhi , Janaki Chellam
Published: August 2017

Background: To study the varied clinical presentations, the predominant etiological agent and incidence of tinea pedis in relation to sex, age group, occupation and aggravating factors among the patients. Also an attempt was made to know if any significant association is there with blood group and the occurrence of tinea pedis.

Methods: A study was conducted among 75 patients who attended Mycology clinic in tertiary care hospital. Detailed history was taken along with complete physical examination and local examination. All cases of tinea pedis were first confirmed by KOH examination. Isolation of the agent was done in Modified SDA medium with cycloheximide. Differentiation of the species was done by culturing on corn meal agar.

Results: Prevalence of tinea pedis infection was more common among males with male: female ratio of 2.26:1. The 21- 30 years age group was commonly affected by tinea pedis. The distribution of blood groups reflected the general distribution pattern of the population. Culture positivity was recorded in 81.3%.

Conclusions: More incidences of bilateral involvement and recurrent episodes were noted among the shoe wearing population than in the non-shoe wearing population. Any patients diagnosed with tinea pedis should be screened for diabetes as implied by the outcome of the study. Infected toe nails may be the site of primary infection and fungal disease can spread to other body areas from these primary sites. Trichophyton rubrum happened to be the chief isolate. 
A cross-sectional study on autologous: serum skin test in chronic urticaria in a tertiary care centre
Authors: D. Dharani , S. Krishnan , K. Manobalan
Published: August 2017

Background: Urticaria persisting daily for more than six weeks is termed as chronic urticaria. A significant number of them have an autoimmune basis, where ASST is used for detection of chronic autoimmune urticaria (CAU). The aim and objective of the study was to determine the frequency of autoimmunity with ASST in chronic urticaria patients.

Methods:This was a hospital based cross sectional study, 100 patients with chronic urticaria fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled in the study. Detailed history, physical examination and routine investigations were recorded and ASST was done for all patients.

Results:Thirty seven (37%) out of 100 CU patients were ASST positive. Statistical analysis of the clinical variables did not show significant difference between ASST positive and negative patients except for dermographism and mean duration of the disease.

Conclusions:ASST is a simple invivo clinical test for detection of basophil histamine releasing activity. Diagnosing CAU is important as these patients may need high doses of anti-histamines, systemic corticosteroids and/or immunomodulatory drugs. Autologous serum therapy itself has a therapeutic role in treatment of CAU patients.
A Tributação e Democracia: anos 1990 e governo Dilma Rousseff
Authors: Carvalho Guilherme Augusto Batista
Published: August 2017

o presente artigo visa apresentar brevemente uma discussão sobre tributação e democracia. O foco central está localizado na discussão teórica e nas evidências empíricas a respeito das repercussões que as decisões sobre tributação afetaram na escolha de políticas públicas dos eleitores brasileiros em dois momentos: anos 1990 e Governo Dilma. A pergunta central do trabalho é: Qual o motivo de tamanho distanciamento das decisões de política tributária entre os eleitos e os eleitores? A conclusão é que o Estado capitalista contemporâneo, mais do que nunca, se tornou um Estado devedor, o controle orçamentário e o estado de recessão estão sempre no “retrovisor”, fazendo com que todas as decisões tributárias passem pelo crivo do pagamento das dívidas e contas públicas.

o objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar um apanhado geral das tentativas de integração sob a ótica da complementação e do aproveitamento dos recursos energéticos disponíveis na América do Sul a partir das contribuições da Comissão Econômica para a América Latina e o Caribe (CEPAL) sobre desenvolvimento. Deste modo, esta pesquisa considera que as proposições de aproximação pelo viés energético desenvolvidas, inicialmente, pela Associação Latino-Americana de Livre Comércio (ALALC) e pela Associação Latino-Americana de Desenvolvimento e Integração (ALADI) como sendo os elementos basilares do processo que levou a constituição do Mercado Comum do Sul (MERCOSUL) e que, posteriormente, permitiram o lançamento da iniciativa da Integração da Infraestrutura Regional Sul-Americana (IIRSA). Neste sentido, este trabalho considera que as assinaturas da Declaração do Iguaçu, em 30 de novembro de 1985, e do Tratado de Assunção, em 26 de março de 1991, foram instrumentos de suma importância para embalar o movimento que motivou a formação da Comunidade Sul-Americana de Nações (CASA) e que culminou com a criação da União de Nações Sul-Americanas (UNASUL), pois evidenciou o reconhecimento de que a vertente regional passou a ocupar um espaço de grande relevância na
Silencing of Voice: An Act of Structural Violence Urban Aboriginal Women Speak Out About Their Experiences with Health Care
Authors: Kurtz Donna L. M. , Nyberg Jessie C. , Van Den Tillaart Susan , Mills Buffy , (OUAHRC) The Okanagan Urban Aboriginal Health Res
Published: August 2017

This article reports some of the preliminary findings of an ongoing participatory research study exploring the provision of health and social services for urban Aboriginal communities in the Okanagan Valley. In particular, the article examines how colonial structures and systems have worked to silence Aboriginal women’s voices and how this has affected the ways in which urban Aboriginal women seek out health services. The article addresses these issues through the voices of the Aboriginal women in the study. The women’s stories reveal the many assumptions and inequities that contribute to their marginalization. They describe how their voices are often silenced when they access health services and how this can cause them to either delay seeking needed health advice or accept the status quo. The women’s stories are used to stress the importance and power of voice. This is most evident in their experiences accessing the health services offered through community-based Friendship Centres, where many felt they had more control over the care they received. In the context of this article, the impacts of colonization and the silencing of women’s voices are viewed as acts of structural violence. The women’s stories provide crucial insights into how health care provision can be changed to help prevent these acts of violence, thus leading the way to improved health for all urban Aboriginal populations.
Cultural Safety: A Framework for Interactions between Aboriginal Patients and Canadian Family Medicine Practitioners
Authors: Baker Ava C. , Giles Audrey R.
Published: August 2017

Current approaches for non-Aboriginal family medicine practitioners encountering Aboriginal patients are based in cultural sensitivity, which is an inadequate model to satisfy the obligation of family medicine residents and physicians to Aboriginal health in Canada. In this paper, we advocate for the adoption of a cultural safety approach as a superior method for training family medicine residents in interactions with Aboriginal patients. Family medicine programs can integrate cultural safety into their curriculum by teaching residents about the colonial history of Aboriginal people to foster understanding of power imbalances. This knowledge can then be used to help family medicine residents learn to identify their own biases that may affect the care of Aboriginal patients. By advocating for family medicine practitioners to use cultural safety to challenge their own concepts of culture and to address their own worldviews, patient encounters between non-Aboriginal family physicians and Aboriginal patients may be made safer and more productive.
Assessment of Tuberculosis Outbreak Definitions for a First Nations On-Reserve Context
Authors: Samji H. , Wardman D. , Orr P.
Published: August 2017

Improving the prevention and control of tuberculosis (TB) in Aboriginal communities in Canada is a matter of great urgency. Canadian-born Aboriginal people account for 21% of TB cases in the country even though they represent only 3.8% of the overall population. Moreover, age standardized rates of TB in Aboriginal people reveal an incidence almost six fold greater than the national rate. There are unique challenges in the prevention and control of TB in First Nations populations. We sought to investigate whether the Canadian Tuberculosis Standards definition being used Canada wide to address TB is appropriate in a First Nations on-reserve context or whether alternate definitions should be considered. In this study, we spoke to health care workers, scientists, and administrators involved in TB programs and care across the country to assess the suitability of the definition used to classify an outbreak. Our data showed that the majority of study participants did not support a First Nations-specific TB outbreak definition. Participants felt that a response protocol would be useful, along with a preamble to the definition detailing unique circumstances that may pertain to an outbreak on-reserve.
“I Like to Think I’m a Pretty Safe Guy but Sometimes a 40-Pounder* Will Change That”: A Mixed Methods Study of Substance Use and Sexual Risk Among Aboriginal Young People
Authors: Devries Karen M. , Free Caroline J. , Saewyc Elizabeth
Published: August 2017

We conducted a mixed methods study to explore links between substance use and sexual risk among Aboriginal young people in British Columbia, Canada. Individual in-depth interviews were conducted in 2004–2005 with 30 young people ages 15–19; we present a descriptive thematic analysis. Data from a 2003 provincially representative survey that included 2,467 Aboriginal young people attending secondary school were used to model relationships between substance use and sexual behaviour outcomes. Young people perceived that substance use affected community and extended family relationships and could shape behaviour during sexual encounters. Survey data show different age trajectories of risk. For young men, there was a strong and consistent linear relationship between substance use and potentially risky sexual behaviour across all age groups. For women, using more substances at younger but not older ages was a strong marker of sexual initiation. Using more substances in older but not younger age groups was a strong indicator for having more sexual partners. For both young women and young men, lifetime substance use and substance use at last sexual encounter did not predict condom use. Interventions must consider the effects of substance use on community structures and family relationships in addition to individual risk.
“The Wind Goes Inside of Me”: Kindergarten Children’s Theories About Running Fast
Authors: Halls Debbie , Wien Carol Anne
Published: August 2017

Children in a kindergarten class had difficulties with physical movement—bending awkwardly to tie shoes, going downstairs using two feet to a step, standing disengaged during exercise time. Debbie wondered whether she could design an emergent curriculum responsive to the movement potential of these children, promoting more fluent body awareness. She wanted to try supporting the project with Reggio-inspired pedagogy using documentation, changes to the environment, and adding many graphic materials. The entry point was an argument after recess about who could run fast. The children’s interest in how they run fast led to conversations about running, investigations of running outside, and theories of what permits fast running. Documentation and the illustration of theories through drawing and 3-dimensional figures led to deeper considerations by the children about how bodies work, and strongreflection by Debbie on the necessity of continual movement possibilities for young children in schools.

Authors: Atkinson Kim
Published: August 2017

Drawing on the experience of the author and her colleagues, this article explores moving from a theme-based curriculum in early years settings to an inquiry-based approach. New possibilities for doing curriculum are described as educators challenge themselves to engage in processes of critical reflection, enact democratic principles, and adopt an inquiry as a focal point for discussion among children, colleagues, and families. The article shares examples of educators reimagining curriculum as they embrace both the flow and uncertainty of an inquiry.

Wasps-Bees-Mushrooms-Children: Reimagining Multispecies Relations in Early Childhood Pedagogies
Authors: Atkinson Kim
Published: August 2017

This article considers thinking with a common worlds framework in relation to reimagining our pedagogies to move beyond the nature/culture binary. Drawing on the work of scholars who engage with common worlds ethnographic projects, the author grapples with what it means to shift from humancentric perspectives of teaching children about nature toward attending to the interdependencies, mutual vulnerabilities, and responsibilities between humans and nonhumans. The article describes encounters between children, wasps, bees, and mushrooms as a means of illustrating how we might move toward different ways relating to the nature/culture divide, away from learning about toward thinking with.
Lessons From Research for Les Familles Exogames: A Literature Review
Authors: Blanchette Deans Rachelle
Published: August 2017

In this article, I draw from a recent graduating project where I examined the lessons from research for les familles exogames. This expression is used in the French early childhood education and education sectors to refer to families where one parent is French speaking while the other has another (predominantly the English) language (Ontario Ministry of Education, 2004). The focus of this article is on parental decisions with respect to language or languages spoken at home and choices of early childhood settings and schools. Given the focus on parental choice, the inquiry question is: What does the scholarly research say about linguistic and educational choices for young children from les familles exogames? The inquiry centres on the linguistic and educational choices for young children from les familles exogames from sociocultural and ecological systems perspectives. I examine the extant literature on bilingualism and, more specifically, on bilingualism in les familles exogames, and I share implications from research that are meaningful to parents and early years professionals.

Cet article est tiré d’un projet de maîtrise où j’ai examiné les enseignements tirés de la recherche sur les familles exogames. L’expression « familles exogames » est utilisée, dans les secteurs de l’éducation et de l’éducation de la petite enfance en langue française pour désigner les familles formées d'un parent francophone et d’un parent s’exprimant dans une autre (habituellement l’anglais) langue (Ministère de l’Éducation de l’Ontario, 2004). Ce document s’intéresse notamment aux décisions que prennent les parents relativement à la langue parlée, ou aux langues parlées, à la maison ainsi qu’au choix du milieu de la petite enfance et de l’école. Puisque l’accent est mis sur le choix des parents, la question d’enquête est: Que disent les chercheurs au sujet des choix en matière de langue et d’éducation pour les jeunes enfants de familles exogames? L’enquête s’articule autour des choix linguistiques et éducatifs pour les jeunes enfants des familles exogames des points de vue socioculturel et des systèmes écologiques. J’ai ainsi passé en revue les ouvrages publiés qui traitent du bilinguisme, et plus particulièrement du bilinguisme dans les familles exogames, afin de communiquer des résultats de la recherche qui sont utiles aux parents et aux professionnels de la petite enfance.
Movement/ing Provocations in Early Childhood Education
Authors: Land Nicole , Danis Ildikó
Published: August 2017

Drawing on an inquiry-based project focused on experimenting with movement in Canadian early childhood education, this article imagines how educators might think (with) movement pedagogically. The authors detail our practices of pedagogical inquiry, confront contemporary movement-related policies and pedagogies in Euro-Western Canadian early childhood education, and discuss three encounters with movement: (1) creating conditions with movement(s); (2) movement does...; and (3) attending to uncommon movements. We conclude by gesturing toward the uncertain, contingent, and generative potentialities of thinking with movement in early childhood education. 
A Conceptual Model of Children’s Rights and Community-Based Values to Promote Social Justice Through Early Childhood Curriculum Frameworks
Authors: Caplan Rachel , Loomis Colleen , Di Santo Aurelia
Published: August 2017

A “rights-integrative approach to early learning” has been proposed as a foundation for curriculum frameworks. Building on this work we conceptually explored the complementarity and compatibility of children’s rights to autonomy, protection, nondiscrimination, and participation, with community-based values of prevention and promotion, empowerment, diversity, and civic participation. We argue that it is necessary to infuse a rights-based approach with community-based values in early childhood curriculum frameworks to promote social justice for children as individuals and as a relational community. Our proposed expanded conceptual framework may be useful for evaluating early learning frameworks, nationally and internationally, from a rights-based social justice perspective.

Locating Temporary Migrants on the Map of Australian Democracy
Authors: Mares Peter
Published: August 2017

This article asks whether there should be a limit on the number of years that a temporary migrant can reside in Australia before either being granted permanent residence or required to depart.
Temporary migration on the scale now experienced in Australia is a relatively recent phenomenon that contrasts strongly with the established pattern of permanent settler migration that characterised Australia in the 20th Century. As a result, the question of whether or not there should be a limit to temporariness has not yet been addressed in public policy debates.
Drawing on the approach of Jospeh H. Carens (2013), I take Australia’s self-definition as a liberal democracy as a standard to which the nation sees itself as ethically and politically accountable. I argue that a commitment to liberal democracy renders a purely contractual approach to migration invalid—more specifically, a migrant’s consent to the terms of a temporary visa does not provide sufficient ethical grounds to extend that temporary status indefinitely. Moving beyond a contractual approach to consider whether current temporary migration arrangements are consistent with the principles of representative democracy raises debates within liberalism, particularly between cosmopolitan and communitarian perspectives. I argue that practical policy must reconcile these cosmopolitan and communitarian positions. I consider, but reject, the option of strictly time-limited temporary visas that would require migrants to depart after a set number of years and instead recommend a pathway to permanent residence based on duration of stay.
‘Half of Myself Belongs to this Town’: Conditional Belongings of Temporary Migrants in Regional Australia
Authors: Boese Martina , Philips Melissa
Published: August 2017

A growing number of temporary visa holders reside in regional Australia, from skilled temporary visa holders to international students at regional university campuses and Working Holiday visa holders. Many of these residents spend prolonged periods of time in regional locations, often alongside groups with other migration and refugee backgrounds, and many hold permanent residency aspirations. This paper contributes to recent scholarship on affective citizenship and place-based belonging through an investigation of the social, cultural and legal dimensions of temporary migrants’ sense of belonging in regional communities. Our analysis of qualitative interviews with regional residents on different temporary visas and local employers and service providers shows that many temporary residents in regional locations develop a feeling of place-based belonging grounded in social relations and shared cultural affiliations as well as the efforts of local stakeholders who are keen to retain migrants in the location. Yet the rights restrictions associated with temporary visas tend to diminish such feelings of belonging and further exacerbate feelings of tenuous belonging for those migrants who are lacking place-based social or cultural connections. We conclude that the multidimensional nature of belonging deserves more attention in the current context of policies that are on the one hand promoting the regional settlement of temporary migrants, whilst on the other hand excluding these migrants from most social rights granted to other taxpayers.
‘We’re Sending you Back’: Temporary Skilled Labour Migration, Social Networks and Local Community
Authors: Mayes Robyn
Published: August 2017

This paper contributes to the emergent literature on the temporal and dynamic constitution of temporary skilled migrant networks, foregrounding under-researched interrelations between migrant and non-migrant networks. It does so through examination of the lived experience of transnational, temporary skilled labour migrants resident in Ravensthorpe in rural Western Australia (WA) who were confronted with the sudden closure of the mining operation where they were employed. As a result they faced imminent forced departure from Australia. Drawing on qualitative data collected in Ravensthorpe three weeks after the closure, this paper foregrounds the role of this shared, profoundly socially-disruptive event in the formation of a temporary, multi-ethnic migrant network and related interactions with a local network. Analysis of these social relations foregrounds the role of catalysing events and external prompts (beyond ethnicity and the migration act) in the formation of temporary migrant networks, along with the importance of local contexts, policy conditions and employer action. The social networks formed in Hopetoun, and associated mobilisation of social capital, confirm the potential and richness of non-migrant networks for shaping the migrant experience, and foreground the ways in which these interrelations in turn can shape the local experience of migration, just as it highlights the capacity of community groups to act as social and political allies for temporary migrants.that would require migrants to depart after a set number of years and instead recommend a pathway to permanent residence based on duration of stay.
The Imperial German Navy, 1897 - 1918: Negotiating the nation
Authors: Bachmann Jesse
Published: August 2017

This article seeks to analyze the linkages between the Imperial German Navy and Germany’s domestic sphere from the years 1897 to 1918. Prior scholarship has suggested that the expansion of the Imperial German Navy, beginning in 1897, was strongly caused by internal domestic factors. This article disagrees with this assertion, pointing out how international concerns were the main motivating factor. Nonetheless, the paper does accept the general premise that the navy played a strong role in Germany’s domestic sphere. To this end, this article analyzes how, prior to World War One, the navy was built into a national symbol aimed at overcoming the German empire’s regional particularities. This article then bridges a gap in existing scholarship by linking the pre-war symbolic importance of the navy to its experience during the war and the naval revolts that occurred in 1918. In particular, this article argues that the national idea codified in the navy prior to the war was then challenged by the navy’s generally poor experience during the First World War. This contributed to the naval revolts of 1918 which caused a reevaluation of the German nation and toppled the empire.

The Taxonomy Spatial Measure of Development in the Standard of Living Analysis
Authors: Kuc Marta Ewa
Published: August 2017

Incorporation of spatial relationships in the construction of taxonomy measure of development is gaining popularity in Polish literature. However, there is no one common idea concerning how the spatial relationship should be taken into account when creating a synthetic variable nor, indeed, where the spatial weight matrix should be placed. It seems that the inclusion of spatial relationships is more important in smaller regions’ analysis, as they are more affected by the situation in the neighbourhood. This explains why, in this research, rankings of the standard of living in Nordic regions were constructed on the basis of proposals presented by Antczak, Pietrzak and Sobolewski, Migała-Warchoł and Mentel. The aim of this study is to identify the advantages and disadvantages of above-mentioned approaches and to compare the compliance of results obtained from them.

Women’s inequality seems to be a product of political, legal, cultural and religious forces. Research has been conducted on the experience of gender equality of other countries, in this case, Australia. The promotion of gender equality through the politico-legal process,especially through its Constitution and legislation, has resulted in significant progress for women in Australia. This article uses gender analysis. The Australian constitution will be analyzed in in a gendered way. It is expected that the findings may assist in improving the constitutional framework for the protection of women’s rights in Indonesia. Thus, the aim of this paper is to question how Indonesia can learn from a liberal democratic state to empower women through constitutional amendments or other politico-legal processes.Keywords : gender equality – constitutional law – gender analysis

Police discretion by definition is the power to make decisions of policy and practice. Police have the choice to enforce certain laws and how they will be enforced. Discretion is bounded by norms (professional nor ms, community norms,  legal norms, moral norms). Officers will exercise discretion in situations here the facts or people involved don not necessarily line up with the law.  Discretion is exercised far more in speeding cases, vandalism, domestic violence or juvenile cases rather than homicide, rape case, thievery, robbery. Officers often feel minor  offenses are more about educating citizens, whereas serious offenders deserve the full punishment of the law. If a police officer uses his/her discretionary power correctly, not only will it help the police officer in their situation, it will help the general community as well.Key words : discretion, police officer

Hubungan kerja terjadi setelah adanya perjanjian antara pengusaha dan pekerja, di mana pekerja menyatakan kesanggupannya untuk bekerja kepada pengusaha dan pengusaha menyatakan kesanggupannya untuk membayar upah pekerja. Namun dalam hubungan kerja terdapat kecenderungan akan adanya ketidakseimbangan kedudukan antara pekerja dan pengusaha di mana pekerja mempunyai posisi tawar lebih lemah daripada pengusaha. Perjuangan para pekerja untuk menegakkan hak-hak normatif tidak serta merta dapat dilaksanakan, sebab dibutuhkan suatu dukungan nyata dari organisasi sebagai wadah untuk memperkokoh kedudukan pekerja. Hal ini kembali dikaitkan dengan hak fundamental pekerja, yakni salah satunya adalah kebebasan berserikat. Dengan pelaksanaan prinsip kebebasan berserikat, dapat diwujudkan dengan menjadi anggota dalam serikat pekerja. Perwujudan penerapan perlindungan hak-hak normatif pekerja oleh Serikat Buruh adalah melalui pembentukan perjanjian kerja bersama antara Serikat Buruh dengan pengusaha.Kata Kunci: Hukum Perburuhan, Prinsip Kebebasan Berserikat, Hak Berserikat, Serikat Buruh, Perlindungan Hak Normatif Pekerja.
