An arts-based autoethnographic exploration of a Black woman witnessing Slave Play: The audience’s the thing
Authors: Williams Britton
Published: May 2023

This autoethnographic arts-based study explores how racial composition of theatre audiences impacts a Black woman’s witnessing experience during a play that contends with racial trauma. Employing Christine Mayor’s embodied tableau method, it examines the experience of a Black drama therapist viewing Jeremy O’Harris’ Slave Play three different times – twice in the context of predominantly white audiences and once with a predominantly Black audience. The research question was ‘how does racial composition of the audience impact the experience of witnessing Slave Play for the Black drama therapist?’ What I found was that witnessing performances about racial trauma in predominantly white audiences increased my feelings of discomfort, invasive exposure and decreased capacity for presence. Conversely, witnessing performances about racial trauma during a BLACK OUT theatre performance fostered and inspired connection, joy and presence. These relational–cultural complexities underscore the necessity of considering audience composition, engagement and responses when exploring topics related to racial trauma in performance. They furthermore underscore the relational potentials of theatre audiences for drama therapy performances and beyond.
Walking alongside elders: A visual essay
Authors: Jones Vanessa
Published: May 2023

This visual essay has links with Miller’s El Duende one-canvas process painting by utilizing a different methodology and form with the use of four short films Into the Earth, Medicine Walk, Fireside Creatures and Whispers. The author screened these films in a range of settings to broaden conversation and dialogue about the Wild Elders therapy group’s working process. From these discussions she created this visual essay as a series of photographs and written text. It leads the viewer through key visual elements mapping the journey of individual and group transformation and growth. The essay concludes that by sharing the source material via animated filmmaking, the author has found new ways of extending the therapeutic reach of environmental arts therapy where visual landscapes of interconnection with Nature inspire creative acts of participation as well as personal and collective change. It offers the reader a process whereby they too can walk alongside elders.
Analysis of error distribution in catalyst-adsorbate binding energies generated by GNN

Published: May 2023

Scalable methods of storing renewable energy to reduce climate change require high- performance catalysts that can be discovered using Artificial Intelligence (AI), prompting data scientists to train models. In the OC20 dataset (IS2RE), the Graphormer model, a type of Graph Neural Network (GNN), performed the best. We hope to find trends in the error distribution of catalyst-adsorbate binding energies to explain and make improvements.

GNNs are based on Graph Theory, which makes them optimised for certain data structures. In the context of molecules, a graph can be used to represent the atomic and molecular structure of a compound through its edges and nodes. By using a GNN, it is possible to effectively capture the intricate relationships and dependencies between the atoms and bonds in a molecule. This is important for predicting and understanding the properties and behaviour of the molecule.

With Python and Jupyter Notebook, we had many cutting-edge packages and libraries at our disposal; some included are matplotlib, pandas, and Atomic Simulation Environment (ASE). Through the data exploration, wrangling, and analysis, several insights were gleaned.

Smaller unit cells tended to have larger errors. Across the period, there are local minima of errors in Group 10. Chlorine, perhaps because it is the only halogen, had an abnormally large error. Adsorbates containing Nitrogen had greater errors, as opposed to ones that are grouped as C1, C2 or O/H only.
How does the public transportation of Copenhagen consider the rights for disabled persons and the declaration of Barcelona?
Authors: Wondratschek Florian , Gangadharan Vaisakh , Singh Armaan , Jose Joji
Published: May 2023

Mobility is a central requirement for participation. Climate policy requirements are opposed by the fact that the public transport infrastructure, like so many areas of the transport infrastructure, already has significant deficiencies in terms of accessibility. Due to its function as a service of general interest, public transport is strongly geared to being a mobility offer for everyone due to the legal requirements of the European Union. In this study, the research group focuses on people with disabilities in the city of Copenhagen. Since early 2009, with the adoption of the UN Disability Rights Convention, the concept of inclusion has become a public interest in Denmark. It ensures that people with disabilities have equal access to means of transport. This requires a modular system that makes it clear what an inclusive bus stop can look like. The research wants to make a status quo finding of the inclusion in the public transport for people withphysical disabilities and the blind through a bus stop analysis and qualitative interviews.

Past studies show that leadership style may impact employees’ overall job aspects. However, a search of the literature showed that there is a knowledge gap when assessing whether manager leadership styles in the Arab sector of Israel contribute to the improvement of different job aspects. Consequently, quantitative method research was conducted to fill this knowledge gap where the objective of the study was to investigate the impact of managers’ leadership styles on job satisfaction, job performance, and employees’ motivation and engagement. Relevant data were collected from participants using survey questionnaires. Purposive sampling was used to recruit 250 employees from different organizations from the Arab sector in Israel. According to the results of the questionnaires, a significant impact was found between the managers’ leadership style and the different job aspects. Moreover, A significant positive relationship was also found between Job satisfaction, Job performance, and employees’ engagement.
Validation of a longitudinal motorcycle riding dynamic model for a powered two-wheeler interactive simulator
Authors: Svoboda Josef , Toman Přemysl , Orlický Adam
Published: May 2023

Engine or battery powered two-wheeled vehicles are an essential part of a transport system. Its users are however more vulnerable in comparison with personal vehicles. In general, compared to four-wheel vehicles even a small percentage of accidents that include motorcycles causes a significant rate of all fatalities in the Czech Republic. Two-wheelers nowadays face the challenge of electric propulsion and wider user adoption. This fact emphasizes the need to assess rider´s behaviour. One way of examination of rider´s behaviour in safe and scientific environments is an interactive vehicle simulator. In order to develop a complex semi-active motorcycle simulator, a virtual model in Unity platform was created. The main purpose of this paper is to verify the longitudinal dynamics of the physical model for emerging interactive simulator. To achieve this goal, crucial parameters of the model were set. For validation of the model we defined several riding scenarios. Based on the data measured during a track test experiment in a real environment, model parameters further needed were indirectly defined. The results show that the output of the longitudinal dynamics model closely correlates with the real data gathered on a track.
Kyai’s Psychological Resilience in the Perspective of Pesantren: Lesson from Indonesia
Authors: Rahmatullah Azam Syukur
Published: May 2023

This study focuses on exploring the experiences of the kyai who have founded a pesantren. Founding a pesantren can be interpreted as establishing, raising, and developing a pesantren. These activities, of course, lead to heavy psychological experiences. Although in the end, the kyai still did not step down from the struggle for the pesantren, whatever the challenges and obstacles they faced, their existence in developing resilience was increasingly strengthened. This study is field research using descriptive qualitative. The phenomenological approach is used in this study, which is an approach that pays more attention to the subjective experience of the individual. The setting of this study is the Tahfidzul Qur'an Al-Ma'ruf Pesantren in Kediri, East Java. The primary informant is Kyai Ahmad Fauzan Pujianto as the pesantren’s founder, developer, and caregiver. He has experienced firsthand the events during his time with the pesantren. The results of the study showed several findings, including the types of obstacles to the kyai, among others, receiving death threats, burned down residence, the access road to the house was closed, the recitation study was disbanded, receiving messages of witchcraft (santet), prejudice, and hate speech. The basic principles of the kyai’s resilience in facing these obstacles are as follows: it is mandatory to have the will and ability to annul all personal weaknesses, being free from mental blocking and toxic thoughts, self-function with an accuracy of view, and focusing on self-strength as a human being who is given the potential to develop. The kyai themselves have skills in developing their self-resilience, i.e., by learning ABCS, avoiding thinking traps, detecting icebergs, challenging beliefs, putting in perspective, calming, and focusing. Several factors affect the quality of the kyai’s resilience, including emotion regulation, impulse control, reaching out, a causal analysis. The benefits of this study are as a role model and as a form of self-preparation for (prospective) kyai to strengthen their mentality and self-resilience in facing any form of “tests and obstacles” when establishing, raising, and developing pesantren.

O potencial do letramento digital para a transgressão da colonialidade do saber nos contextos da educação de pessoas jovens e adultas
Authors: Joaquim Bruno dos Santos
Published: May 2023

Ao aproximar os estudos dedicados à compreensão do papel do letramento digital no empoderamento de grupos sociais subalternizados e estudos situados na interface entre a educação de pessoas jovens e adultas (EPJA) e a perspectiva decolonial latino-americana, o presente artigo tem por objetivo apresentar indicações teóricas, sistematizadas por meio de revisão bibliográfica, que sinalizam o potencial do letramento digital para a transgressão da colonialidade do saber nos contextos da EPJA. A colonialidade do saber estrutura-se na hierarquização que delega os saberes dos grupos sociais subalternizados - dos quais fazem parte os sujeitos da EPJA - ao silenciamento ou à deslegitimação. A conjunção do potencial da EPJA e seus sujeitos de rebelião e do empoderamento por meio do letramento digital revela-se como brecha para a transgressão da colonialidade do saber, com vistas à transmodernidade.

Multimedia-Influence-Achievement Model (MIAM)
Authors: Akwene Godwill Chenyuei , Fouda Marcel Ndjodo
Published: May 2023

The recent outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increasing demand for new technologies to transmit learning content and facilitate student learning. This article aimed at presenting a new technology adoption model that examines the influence of multimedia exposure on learning motivation, and eventual student academic achievement. The current study focus propels the application of multimedia in education to facilitate students’ academic achievement. Using a sample of 354 students drawn from some secondary schools in Yaounde, data was collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The proposed new Multimedia-Influence-Achievement Model (MIAM) was tested and validated using SmartPLS 3.2.8 software. The analysis showed high factor loadings related to all the items indicating goodness of fit. The results showed that all six hypotheses expressed by the structural model were supported by the data. Multimedia exposure had a significant positive relationship with multimedia self-efficacy, attitude toward multimedia and learning motivation. Multimedia self-efficacy and attitude toward multimedia equally have significant positive relationship with learning motivation.  Furthermore, the results proposed that learning motivation is a predictive determinant of student’s academic achievement. In light of the above results, identification of facilitating conditions is a prerequisite to introduction of multimedia technology in the teaching and learning process.
Climate Change and Disasters in The Three Northern Regions of Ghana
Authors: Weobong Conrad Atogi-Akwoa , Dovie Delali B
Published: May 2023

The study documented disaster events, their impacts and the strategies used by local communities to avert or live with these disasters. A desk study approach was used in data collection. Information from stakeholder organizations working on climate change and related livelihood issues was collected. Data on disaster occurrence, impacts as well as mitigation and adaptation strategies were also obtained from individuals and groups in the communities of the research. The study revealed that the occurrence of floods, drought, wildfires and famine have been widespread in the study area in time and space. Rural communities have however been able to cope with these disasters through self-help and solidarity of households and informal social networks based on neighbourhood, kinship, clansmen, friends and relatives, and religious ties. External support agents, however, usually do not use these local structures. Such interventions miss the really vulnerable in the community. Traditional people have profound knowledge for disaster prediction. These include knowledge of local rain corridors, colour of clouds, prolonged drought followed by storms, thunder and lightning during first rains in the year, change in calls of birds, onset of breeding periods of birds as sign of change in season.
Inhibition of Return without Attentional Capture in the Traditional Spatial Cueing Paradigm
Authors: Matsuda Yukihisa
Published: May 2023

Numerous studies using the spatial cueing paradigm have revealed various characteristics of attentional capture and inhibition of return (IOR). In my previous study, attentional capture was not observed while IOR was observed. Although this is evidence supporting the independence of attentional capture and IOR, I considered the possibility of a problem with the SOA conditions. In the previous study, the SOA condition for observing attentional capture was 150 msec, while some other previous studies used the 100 msec SOA condition. This slight difference may be the reason why attentional capture was not observed. The purpose of this study was to determine if there is a difference between RTs in the 150 msec SOA condition and RTs in the 100 msec SOA condition. Based on previous research, it was expected that attentional functioning would not change significantly when SOA was changed from 100 msec to 150 msec. The results showed that there was no difference between RTs in the 150 msec SOA and the 100 msec SOA conditions. Moreover, robust IORs were observed in the 100 msec SOA with the absence of attentional capture. The results of this study provided additional evidence for the idea presented that attentional capture and IOR are caused by different mechanisms.

Authors: GÜLBAĞCI DEDE Hande , ÖZEN ÜNAL Deniz , YILMAZ Zuhal
Published: May 2023

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, distance education started at K-12 levels in the spring semester of the 2019-2020 school year. The Ministry of National Education had also published instructional tasks to be used in distance education at all grade levels in order to create mathematics learning opportunities for students and to provide resources for teachers. Well-structured and high-quality instructional tasks play an important role in students' learning mathematics. The aim of this study is to examine the quality of the elementary school mathematics tasks recommended for distance remedial education from multiple perspectives, in particular their cognitive demand levels. A total of 85 tasks focusing on 79 critical objectives in grades 1-4 mathematics were examined using document analysis. Results of this study showed that the majority of the tasks were at low cognitive demand level, cognitive demand levels did not show a balanced distribution, and some tasks had mathematical errors.
Transmedia strategies in school literary education: deconstructing kitsch and the semiotics of readerly creativity
Authors: Arkhangelsky Alexander , Novikova Anna
Published: May 2023

We consider the substitution of living classical texts with their simulacra, kitschy interpretations, to be one of the most important issues in literary education in schools. Traditional teaching methods and textbooks reproduce a set of pedagogical clichés. This leads to a loss of the skill of reading. As a result, the student gains a set of simple narratives about canonical texts, not the knowledge of them. The goal of our study is to give impetus to developing the classics. We think that this development is possible if teachers work with the text, starting with deconstruction of the narrative and clichés surrounding it, applying methods of analysis that are typical for the humanities, in particular semiotic analysis, formal analysis, and narrative analysis. Dominants and metaphors may become a starting point for transmedia extensions, which is extremely important for students’ subsequent independent creative work. We propose an approach to working with literary texts in a manner which stimulates the reader’s personal creativity in the process of becoming acquainted with classics. We have used the example of famous film adaptations and theatrical stagings of the novel War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy, as well as multimedia projects by trainees from grades 7–11.
Parodies in Chinese Government Work Reports
Authors: Hou Guojin , Jin Zixi
Published: May 2023

This study accounts for how parody enters such official political discourse as Chinese Government Work Reports (GWRs). It quantitatively and qualitatively studies parodies from 44 GWRs (1978–2021) via the convergence-economy, variation-effectiveness, and relevance model. Our findings are: 1) parodies have appeared more and more frequently in GWRs over the last 44 years; 2) word parodies occur more frequently in GWRs than phrase, sentence, and paragraph parodies; 3) brand-new parodies, of higher pragma-rhetorical values, are used in GWRs; 4) parodies tend to reoccur mimetically once utilized, for ready-made security and effectiveness; and 5) the increasing frequency of parodies is caused by the politicians’ quest for their identification-oriented “markedness effects.”

Published: May 2023

A new series of derivatives (compounds 8–20) of the breast antihormonal drug letrozole tagged with additional aryl groups were synthesized starting from the letrozole analog 7 via Suzuki cross-coupling reaction. Treatment of the ketone 9 with various aldehydes in base afforded the chalcone analogs 21–27. The structural assignments were done by IR, 1H, 13C and 2D NMR spectra. Compounds 13, 21–23, 25 and 26 have been selected for their anticancer activity against MCF-7 and WRL-68 cell lines. Compounds 13 and 22 were found to be the most potent anticancer agents with IC50 values of 34.75 and 58.79 (μg mL−1) (SI = 3.3 and 2.6, respectively). Molecular docking study of compounds 13 and 22 revealed hydrogen bond with the amino acids Arg115, Met374 and Met364 residues of the receptor 3EQM, respectively. Therefore, compounds 13 and 22 can be considered as promising anticancer agents due to their potent cytotoxic activity.

Tendo psicogeografia e a arte de andar como ponto de partida, produzimos um jogo de tabuleiro artístico de criação colaborativa. O jogo é baseado na experiência de mover-se por um lugar, neste caso, a cidade de Salvador, e sentir seu ambiente. É um jogo de arte baseado na colaboração, no vagar e no experimentar a cidade como arte, como jogo. Trata-se da topofilia difundida por Yi-Fu Tuan (1990), de apreciar o lugar, amando-o. Diferente de uma mera contemplação do lugar, este jogo pretende levantar questões de mobilidade, urbanismo, ambiente, estética e poluição.Palavras-chave: Caminhada; Cidade; Arte; Salvador; Jogo. A Cooperative Art Game. The Experience of Wandering in Salvador.Abstract: Having psychogeography and the art of walking as a starting point, we created a collaborative artistic board game. The game is based on the experience of moving around a place, in this case, the city of Salvador, and getting a feeling for its environment. It's an art game based on collaboration, wandering and experiencing the city as art, as a game. It is about the topophilia disseminated by Yi-Fu Tuan (1990), about appreciating the place, loving it. Different from a mere contemplation of the place, this game intends to raise questions of mobility, urbanism, environment, aesthetics and pollution. Keywords: Walk; City; Art; Salvador; Game.

Animals are capable of representing different scale spaces from smaller to larger ones. However, most laboratory animals live their life in a narrow range of scale spaces like homecages and experimental setups, making it hard to extrapolate the spatial representation and learning process in large scale spaces from those in conventional scale spaces. Here, we developed a 3-m diameter Barnes maze (BM3), then explored whether spatial learning in the Barnes maze (BM) is calibrated by scale spaces. Spatial learning in the BM3 was successfully established with a lower learning rate than that in a conventional 1-m diameter Barnes maze (BM1). Specifically, analysis of exploration strategies revealed that the mice in the BM3 persistently searched certain places throughout the learning, while such places were rapidly decreased in the BM1. These results suggest dedicated exploration strategies requiring more trial-and-errors and computational resources in the BM3 than in the BM1, leading to a divergence of spatial learning between the BM1 and the BM3. We then explored whether prior learning in one BM scale calibrates subsequent spatial learning in another BM scale, and found asymmetric facilitation such that the prior learning in the BM3 facilitated the subsequent BM1 learning, but not vice versa. Thus, scale space calibrates both the present and subsequent BM learning. This is the first study to demonstrate scale-dependent spatial learning in BM in mice. The couple of the BM1 and the BM3 would be a suitable system to seek how animals represent different scale spaces with underlying neural implementation.

Near-surface mercury and ozone depletion events occur in the lowest part of the atmosphere during Arctic spring. Mercury depletion is the first step in a process that transforms long-lived elemental mercury to more reactive forms within the Arctic that are deposited to the cryosphere, ocean, and other surfaces, which can ultimately get integrated into the Arctic food web. Depletion of both mercury and ozone occur due to the presence of reactive halogen radicals that are released from snow, ice, and aerosols. In this work, we added a detailed description of the Arctic atmospheric mercury cycle to our recently published version of the Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with Chemistry (WRF-Chem 4.3.3) that includes Arctic bromine and chlorine chemistry and activation/recycling on snow and aerosols. The major advantage of our modelling approach is the online calculation of bromine concentrations and emission/recycling that is required to simulate the hourly and daily variability of Arctic mercury depletion. We used this model to study coupling between reactive cycling of mercury, ozone, and bromine during the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) spring season in 2020 and evaluated results compared to land-based, ship-based, and remote sensing observations. The model predicts that elemental mercury oxidation is driven largely by bromine chemistry and that particulate mercury is the major form of oxidized mercury. The model predicts that the majority (74%) of oxidized mercury deposited to land-based snow is re-emitted to the atmosphere as gaseous elemental mercury, while a minor fraction (4%) of oxidized mercury that is deposited to sea ice is re-emitted during spring. Our work demonstrates that hourly differences in bromine/ozone chemistry in the atmosphere must be considered to capture the springtime Arctic mercury cycle, including its integration into the cryosphere and ocean.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk menganalisis gaya berjalan terhadap cedera yang dimiliki oleh mahasiswa. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan yaitu penelitian analitik dengan one short case study design. Sampel dalam penelitian berjumlah 100 orang yang merupakan masiswa Fakultas Ilmu Keolahragaan UNNES yang terdiri dari laki-laki dan perempuan. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Kota Semarang dan setiap sampel telah menandatangani informant consent. Data dalam penelitian ini diperoleh dari analisis video ketika sampel melakukan gerakan berjalan yang dianalisis menggunakan software dartfish versi 8.0. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa analisis gerak berjalan rata-rata memiliki kecepatan sebesar 1.13 s. Rata-rata panjang langkah sebesar 1.22 m, dan lama siklus sebesar 1.08 s. Pada fase initial swing hasil sudut siku 169.82° dan sudut lutut 117.69°. Adanya ketidaknormalan pada anggota tubuh dapat mempengaruhi walking gait yang yang berasal dari cidera. Kecepatan dalam berjalan memberi dampak terhadap cedera yang diderita oleh anggota tubuh. Dengan meningkatnya kecepatan berjalan maka akan memberi beban berlebih pada anggota tubuh yang sedang mengalami cedera dan akan memperparah cedera tersebut. Penelitian ini hanya terbatas pada hasil analisis walking gait yang diolah dalam bentuk data kinematik. Diharapkan pada penelitian selanjutnya dapat membahas data kinetik dan pengaruhnya terhadap walking gait.

This study was aimed at describing the effectiveness of integrating technology in English language teaching for stimulating students’ critical thinking designing in the form of a systematic literature review. The data were obtained by documenting relevant research articles published in national and international journals indexed in SINTA (4-1) and SCOPUS. There were 52 research articles focusing on the integration of technology in English language teaching for stimulating students’ critical thinking. Those research articles were re-selected by using inclusion criteria. The gained data were reviewed, compared, and interpreted with relevant theories. A factual content analysis was conducted to check its validity and reliability. The findings showed that the integration of technology is distributed into three learning aspects; learning method, learning media, and learning platform. Technology is integrated as a learning method through the implementation of online learning, digital storytelling, and online peer-reviewed assessment. Those methods showed a positive impact towards students’ critical thinking. The integration of technology as a learning media was purposed to provide a fun learning environment and improve students’ learning motivation. It also influences students’ critical thinking. It was found that the learning media used by teachers in English language teaching were Youtube video, Toondoo, E-book, Mind Mapple, podcast, and other browsing applications. Those media were effective in stimulating students’ critical thinking. Using technology as a learning platform is also effective to stimulate students’ critical thinking as a supporting tool in providing forum discussions and conducting online classrooms interaction that enable students to explore their critical thinking skills.
Revisiting Pre-Service Education for Secondary EFL Teachers in Indonesia

In recent decades, English has gained prominence in Indonesia. However, due to instructors' lack of English proficiency, English instruction at the secondary level shows a significant failure. Today, amid the COVID-19 epidemic, which has pushed remote education, the challenge of teaching English as a foreign language in Indonesian secondary schools becomes more severe. Due to in-service teachers' lack of English proficiency and ICT abilities, future Indonesian English teachers' pre-service education at the secondary level should be revisited. This qualitative study investigates the extent to which teacher education programs (PPG) equip prospective EFL instructors to use Technology, Pedagogy, and Content Knowledge (TPACK) in their classroom instruction. It also explores the viewpoints of pre-service EFL teachers (student teachers) and teacher educators on EFL pre-service teacher education programs at several Teacher Education Institutions (TEIs) in West Java, Indonesia. Results of surveys and semi-structured interviews as the primary data sources underline the importance of preparing future English teachers by utilising TPACK and providing teacher educators with all the skills and materials required to train their students properly. A key finding of this study is the insufficient English competencies of teacher educators and pre-service teachers. This research is vital for improving English teacher education in Indonesia.
Interrogating The Discourse of Power and Its Resistance in Nawal El Sadaawi’s God Dies by The Nile

This paper employs Foucault’s theory on Discourse, Power and Knowledge to highlight the powers shaping the Egyptian woman in God Dies by the Nile. The paper also uses the feminist theory in identifying the ways that the Egyptian woman uses to resist the discourse of power in the narrative. The paper therefore focuses on the power dynamics in the novel. Thus questions addressed in this paper include: how the discourses of family, society and religion are generated in the novel; how patriarchy shapes the discourse of power in the narrative and the subtle means used by women to resist and play out power in the novel. Using thematic approach, textual analysis and the novel as a primary source, the paper discusses patriarchal discourse and power politics. Examining a selection of discourses and how they affect the body of the female help in appreciating the effect of patriarchy on women in the novel. The study concludes that discourse alone does not explain the power dynamics in the novel. Silence, rebellion, female bonding, the creation of paranoia in the men through silent but open resistance to patriarchy are some of the power dynamics played out in the novel by the female gender.
The sequence of the treatment of combined fractures of the pelvis, spine, and extremities in polytraumatized patients

‘Damage control’ is the therapeutic strategy in the treatment of polytraumatized patients and aims at securing vital functions and controlling bleeding with a favorable effect on the post-traumatic immune response.

The post-traumatic immune dysfunction is based on a disturbed balance between immunostimulatory and anti-inflammatory mechanisms. The extent of the immunological ‘second hit’ can be limited by delaying deferable surgical therapies until organ stabilization has been achieved by the treating surgeon.

Pelvic sling is easy to apply and noninvasive with effective pelvic reduction. Pelvic angiography vs pelvic packing are not antagonistic, but rather should be considered as complementary methods.

Operating as early as possible on unstable spinal injuries with confirmed or suspected neurological deficits by decompression and stabilization with a dorsal internal fixator.

Dislocations, unstable or open fracture, vascular involvement, and compartment syndrome are considered emergency indications. In extremity fracture treatment, primary definitive osteosynthesis is often dispensed with and instead, temporary stabilization with an external fixator is performed.
