En este trabajo se analiza la relevancia de la información financiera por medio del coeficiente de determinación R2, siendo mayor para las empresas chilenas que para las mexicanas en la mayor parte del periodo analizado. Se emplea el modelo de Ohlson (1995), con variables contables como la utilidad por acción y el valor en libros, así como el precio de la acción, tanto en empresas chilenas como mexicanas que cotizan en la Bolsa de Comercio de Santiago y la Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, respectivamente, durante el periodo 1992-2010. Además, se realizaron pruebas clasificando a las empresas de acuerdo con características específicas, como empresas tangibles e intangibles, empresas que cotizan en Estados Unidos y empresas por sector económico. Los resultados obtenidos bajo una estructura de datos panel muestran que las variables contables son significativas para la valoración del precio de la acción, en el mercado chileno y mexicano, tanto en empresas que cotizan en Estados Unidos como en las que cotizan solo en sus países sede. Estos resultados son consistentes al clasificar a las empresas en tangibles e intangibles, así como para los sectores económicos más representativos de cada país.
Evidence on Annuity Choices in Chile
Authors: Ruiz José Luis
Published: July 2020

This study analyzes the empirical determinants of the annuity choice using data on retirees from the Chilean labor market. We find that sales agents, knowledge about the pension system, and greater education will be associated with an increase in the annuitization probability. Also, we expect that people in poor health are less likely to annuitize, which is supportive of the traditional view of adverse selection in the annuity market. Finally, we analyze the effects on annuity choices of the introduction of a Minimum Pension Guarantee.

Este artículo estudia el comportamiento de las primas de liquidez con datos de depósitos interbancarios y swaps, para el período de junio de 2006 a octubre de 2009, incluida la crisis financiera. Para el mercado estadounidense, la prima de liquidez presenta una volatilidad relativamente baja y un promedio de 42 puntos base anuales. Para una muestra de economías emergentes que incluye a Brasil, Rusia, India, China y Chile, la prima de liquidez es altamente volátil y los promedios en general superan los 100 puntos básicos. Además, el comportamiento de la prima de liquidez se modela con la cointegración vectorial (Johansen, 1988) y los resultados indican que para Brasil, Chile, India, Rusia, la prima de liquidez, el mercado de valores local y el tipo de cambio se cointegran en un equilibrio a largo plazo. y el VECM muestra que estas variables endógenas son complementarias en el ajuste de las desviaciones a corto plazo del equilibrio; Para China es diferente dado el sistema de tipo de cambio local. Estos resultados también son coherentes con una hipótesis de refugio. Para los EE. UU., Los resultados muestran la cointegración para las series de primas de liquidez, S & P500 y VIX.
The Effects of Service Quality on Customer Trust and Satisfaction in Internet Banking
Authors: Torres-Moraga Eduardo , Barra Cristóbal , Vásquez-Parraga Arturo Z. , Farías Antonio
Published: July 2020

Purpose - This study contributes a multidimensional measure of service quality impacting on the trust and satisfaction of customers using internet banking.

Design/methodology/approach - Unlike previous studies reporting on independent factors of service quality affecting customer trust and satisfaction, this study elaborates and tests a multidimensional measure of service quality in the context of internet banking services. In addition, this study tests a proposed model and rival models showing how service quality impacts on customer trust and satisfaction.

Findings - Service quality is a second-order factor with 6 dimensions revealing 6 important characteristics of the service quality that is expected in Internet banking. They are not separate

characteristics of service quality but dimensions of a construct. The proposed model showing a direct impact of service quality on satisfaction and an indirect one on trust is the best tested model using structural equations.

Research limitations/practical implications: The research limitations and practical implications of the results are discussed.

Originality/value - The study elaborates and tests a multidimensional measure that is a comprehensive, and at the same time, parsimonious, approach to service quality when explaining

En la medida que se conozcan las creencias que existen tras determinados comportamientos podremos explicarnos en muchos casos los motivos por los que las personas se comportan de

determinada manera. El presente estudio tuvo como propósito validar un instrumento para determinar creencias institucionales en el sector salud, el que está compuesto por 39 ítems, divididos en dos escalas, 18 ítems para la cultura del control y 21 ítems para la cultura del desarrollo. Este se aplicó a una muestra de 330 personas de diferentes estamentos y plantas de un hospital de alta complejidad. Se realizaron análisis de fiabilidad según el coeficiente de alfa de Cronbach, análisis factoriales y determinación de la fiabilidad por factores. Los coeficientes alfas para las diferentes escalas son 0,749 para la cultura del control y 0,858 para la escala de la cultura del desarrollo. El resultado del análisis factorial realizado por el método de componentes principales con rotación varimax mostró seis factores para la escala de la cultura del control y sies factores para la escala de la cultura del desarrollo. Se concluye que ambas escalas entregan un coeficiente alfa aceptable, de acuerdo con lo planteado por Morales et al. (2003).

Gobierno corporativo: una revisión de literatura especializada
Authors: Jara Pinilla Natalia , Jara Bertin Mauricio Alejandro
Published: July 2020

El gobierno de la empresa ha sido un tema que ha ganado cada vez más importancia en el mundo corporativo. Pese a que sus comienzos en términos de discusión formal datan de mediados de los años 70, el concepto subyacente tiene sus raíces de mucho antes. El problema se origina por la teoría de agencia, que expone un conflicto de interés entre accionistas y proveedores. Existen varias definiciones de gobierno corporativo, pero todas apuntan a un sistema de mecanismos internos y externos que atenúan el problema de agencia entre los distintos participantes de la gran empresa moderna. Entre algunos factores que pueden configurar la seriedad de las relaciones dentro de la empresa se encuentran los sistemas legales, los que darán pie a la importancia relativa que tengan tanto mecanismos externos como el mercado, y mecanismos internos, como lo es el directorio.
Embarazo múltiple en útero Didelfo y Bicollis. Reporte de caso
Authors: Salazar de Escolero Aurora Del Rosario , Flores Paredes Ruth Geraldina
Published: July 2020

Resumen: El útero didelfo forma parte del grupo de anomalías müllerianas. Este se produce posterior a una falla en la fusión de los conductos müllerianos, resultando dos cavidades uterinas diferentes y dos cérvix que se unen en el extremo uterino inferior. En la mayoría de los casos esta malformación se asocia a un tabique vaginal longitudinal. Todo esto debido a deficiencias en el proceso de formación de los conductos müllerianos. Los embarazos gemelares en úteros didelfos se estiman en uno por cada millón de embarazos, pero en la actualidad se encuentran reportados pocos casos en el mundo. Esta revisión relata el caso de una paciente con útero didelfo, quién presentó un embarazo múltiple con un feto en cada uno de los hemiúteros. Sin ningún método de apoyo para la concepción del embarazo, se obtuvieron dos recién nacidos sanos, tras cesárea de emergencia por iniciar trabajo de parto y ruptura de membranas, con distocia de partes blandas ocasionada por el tabique vaginal.

Astronomical Constants and Universal Code in Holy Book
Authors: Al-Tamimi Mohammad Tayseer
Published: July 2020

At the beginning of 1995, I was looking to produce a new concept of the Astronomical Period (AP) which may be determined by the shortest period of Lunar years which this period includes leap years and common years, just to get a simple formula for calculating the average length of the lunar year where I finally deduced the first formula about this average by using the simple math (the four elementary arithmetic operations).

By this rule, I methodically educed what I essentially considered it as an acceptable consequence which, indeed, encouraged me to do more research about the best resources that required to deal with the concept of (AP) where I found something like the hidden signals in Islamic Holy Book (The Great Qur’an) which led me by the elicitation method to get the perfect astronomical constants besides of an evolving conclusion about what I considered it as a scientific guide to the universal code.

What the exiting in this research is: these (perfect astronomical constants) had successfully passed the test of three physical laws in motion which means that the hypothesis of this research (elicitation method) is not arbitrary, and the conclusions of this research had truly deduced by innovative scientific basis.
Distant Blocking of Celestial Lines of Communications Using Electromagnetic Pulse
Authors: Dmytryszyn Mark , Crook Matthew
Published: July 2020

The potentially imminent and existential threat from a nuclear electromagnetic pulse are arguably inflated, voiced to garner attention to the true issue, that today’s microelectronics are incredibly vulnerable to electromagnetic damage caused by sudden voltage spikes from the electromagnetic pollution. Additionally, a nuclear electromagnetic pulse does not need to be detonated in outer space to cause signification disruption to communications systems’ data and information flow across the celestial domain. High altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) detonations do not need to occur in outer space to have wide ranging effects; in describing electromagnetic pulses, the high-altitude moniker is tied to any detonation above nineteen miles (thirty point-five kilometers). High altitude electromagnetic pulse detonations ranging from fifty to one hundred kilometers can project wave effects into outer space and affect spacecraft through both direct damage (contemporary views regarding electromagnetic pulse) and radiation-induced torques on the solar arrays, misaligning satellite antennas and sensors. If an actor – state or otherwise – wished to compete or contest another along the congested celestial lines of communications (CLOCs), it can be done at great distance from the affected entity by use of a high altitude electromagnetic pulse on the ‘far side’ of the orbit. Additionally, the historic maritime tactic of blockade has applicability in space; yesterday’s ships are today’s gamma ray damage to microelectronics. Furthermore, the employment of a nuclear weapon-delivered high-altitude electromagnetic pulse remains a treaty violation, for those who are a party to. However, greater jurisprudence study is lacking regarding this matter, and the accompanying concern of transboundary harm as it relates to territorial sovereignty. In summary, an actor can contest another’s use of the celestial lines of communications by detonating a nuclear weapon, at high-altitude but within the atmosphere (i.e., below one hundred kilometers), and within the lateral boundaries of their sovereign territory and associated territorial waters, and allow wave’s effects to radiate widely to interrupt operations and possibly inflict permanent damage, all without being in violation of treaty or customary law. This manuscript substantiates the prequel baseline for follow-on research on mitigation of the deleterious effects on communication system circuits in attempts to void the blockage on celestial lines of communications, and the sequel is briefly introduced with a short description of the state-of-the-art research.
Correlating DYFI Data With Seismic Microzonation in the Region of Montreal
Authors: Rosset Philippe , Bent Allison L. , Chouinard Luc E.
Published: July 2020

The Western Quebec seismic zone has moderate seismic activity with few historical damaging earthquakes. Nevertheless, recent risk analyses have shown that the combination of a high level of urbanization with soft soil deposits in the metropolitan area of Montreal could lead to significant damage and economic losses. Over the two decades, several projects have been completed to develop a seismic microzonation to identify zones where seismic waves could be amplified. During the same period, Natural Resources Canada developed an internet application to collect reports from the population after an earthquake and to convert them to the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale (MMI). This paper presents a first comparison of the MMI data compiled after eight recent earthquakes felt in Montreal area with the existing zonation in terms of soil classes. It shows that the MMI from individual reports increases when the observer is located in a soft soil zone. Statistics on average MMI over a regular grid confirms this trend. The numerous reports collected through the internet application, and future applications based on data collected from social media, could become a very useful source of information to complement seismic field measurements when developing and validating seismic microzonation maps.
Analysing the Situation of ESL Teaching and Learning in Large University Classes in Pakistan
Authors: Panhwar Abdul Hameed , Barich Shah Nawaz , Shahzad Syed Khuram
Published: July 2020

The present study is based on a chapter of the PhD project conducted by the main researcher. It aims to explore the ESL teaching and learning practices in a Pakistani university by focusing on difficulties perceived and confronted by learners and teachers, and solutions suggested by them. One of the most significant issues at the university is large classes-exceeding to 100 and more students on average. The main researcher, being an ESL teacher at the target university, faced the same problem of large size and found it difficult to teach these classes. He embarked on analysing the situation so that he might come across some solutions through the suggestions and experiences of the ESL teachers and students of the same university. The design of the study is descriptive and the results of the present study come from the quantitative data collected through student and teacher questionnaires. The Student-participants were 300 undergraduate students from various major subjects attending English language support classes and 22 ESL teachers teaching these English language support classes at different institutes of the university. The data were analysed descriptively and presented with help of the boxplots. The views, commonly held by teachers are supported by the study’s findings i.e., large classes are likely to endorse teacher-centred approaches of teaching; very little significant student-student and teacher-student interaction is practised because of the inadequate physical environment; majority of learners remain off-task and appear to be unruly and they are given little, if any, feedback on their in-class and home tasks. Conversely, many teachers and learners reported that the adoption of group/pair work is likely to be an effective technique to use in these classes. Albeit a few teachers revealed having adopted group work infrequently, none used it all the time.

O trabalho de cuidado no sindicato das trabalhadoras domésticas de Pelotas, RS
Authors: Cordenonsi Bonez Mateus , Brites Jurema Gorski
Published: July 2020

O objetivo deste artigo é refletir sobre as práticas cotidianas observadas no Sindicato das Trabalhadoras Domésticas de Pelotas-RS.  A partir de uma etnografia destacamos questões pouco analisadas na bibliografia sobre sindicalismo no âmbito do trabalho doméstico: o quanto as interações os atendimentos e as reuniões são recorrentemente permeados por relações de cuidado entre as diretoras sindicais e as mulheres que buscam auxílio. Nestas interações a trajetória histórica das militantes, bem como as experiências de gênero, de classe e raça vividas pelas próprias sindicalistas, fazem com que o momento dramático de rescisões de contratos, disputas com os patrões ultrapassem o estilo burocrático, não se limitando aos processos formais inerentes aos propósitos do sindicato. Assim, propomos que a finalidade última do sindicato de proteger e prover a categoria de esclarecimentos referentes aos contratos a aos direitos trabalhistas das trabalhadoras domésticas, são permeadas por um intenso e invisível trabalho de cuidado e práticas de resistência que emergem das habilidades  das diretoras para encontrar possibilidades em contexto de exclusão e pouco acesso aos direitos legais já conquistados pela categoria.

Radiology Education and the Quality of Care: Radiation Dose
Authors: Foster Melissa
Published: July 2020

The purpose of this quantitative, quasi-experimental study was to analyze whether the education of radiology personnel mandated by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) affects the quality of care delivered to radiology patients. One area of radiology quality of care was focused on the findings presented in this study: radiation dosage. Three groups of study participants were used. The participants were chosen and divided into groups based on their radiology background, non-radiology medical background, or lack of medical background. All study participants were required to complete an assessment asking participants what radiation dosage and shields they would use for a standard set of radiographic examinations. A training video was shown to those participants with no radiology background prior to the assessment. The data provided by each group was compared to determine similarities and variances between the groups and ANOVA calculations were completed. Differences were found between the assessments completed by members of all three groups. The results support the perception that ARRT-mandated education does affect radiation dosage chosen in the care of radiology patients.
Contabilidad de gestión: efecto en los factores clave del éxito competitivo en el sector cooperativo
Authors: Escobar Castillo Adalberto , Velandia Pacheco Gabriel , Navarro Manotas Evaristo
Published: July 2020

Las cooperativas cobran cada vez más relevancia por su participación en el mercado y para ser competitivas, sus directivos deben sortear las exigencias de entornos dinámicos, tomando decisiones a partir de información extensa, ambigua y cambiante. Por otro lado, se entiende a la contabilidad de gestión como la herramienta que apoya a la gerencia en este proceso, sin embargo, en la literatura no existe claridad sobre su contribución a la competitividad. En consecuencia, el objetivo es explicar la incidencia de las dimensiones de la contabilidad de gestión en los factores clave del éxito competitivo de las cooperativas multiactivas. Para ello, se desarrolla una investigación de enfoque cuantitativo, alcance explicativo y diseño no experimental-transeccional de campo. Se aplicó un cuestionario con escala ordinal tipo Likert de seis opciones a 126 gerentes. Los resultados demuestran una influencia positiva de la amplitud, oportunidad e integración y negativa de la agregación de la información contable. Se concluye que, de manera general la contabilidad de gestión contribuye a la competitividad de las cooperativas multiactivas; sin embargo, resulta relevante la relación inversa de la agregación, la cual puede ser explicada tentativamente por la complejidad de este proceso, exigencia de tecnología especializada para tal fin y alta participación de micros y pequeñas empresas en la muestra, más sensibles a los altos costos de implementación. La implicación de estos resultados sugiere analizar la relación negativa de la agregación en los factores clave del éxito competitivo en el contexto de este estudio.
El Balance Social y las relaciones entre los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible y los Principios Cooperativos mediante un Análisis de Redes Sociales
Authors: Alarcón Conde Miguel Ángel , Rodríguez Juan Fernando Álvarez
Published: July 2020

Los Principios Cooperativos, como hilos conductores de la gestión cooperativa, estipulan la necesidad de realizar acciones en beneficio de la comunidad, formar a sus asociados, cooperar entre cooperativas y propiciar acciones para la preservación del medioambiente, entre otros. Esto conlleva a relacionar las prácticas de las cooperativas como contribuciones a los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS, en lo sucesivo). Por ello, a partir de un análisis de la relación entre Principios Cooperativos y las metas de los ODS se busca una lectura más depurada de estos aspectos. Se utiliza la metodología Delphi, entre 16 líderes del sector cooperativo colombiano, para identificar relaciones entre aquellos principios y los ODS y las relaciones resultantes se analizan a partir de teoría de grafos y el Análisis de Redes Sociales. Los resultados resaltan que la especificidad económica de las prácticas de algunas cooperativas en Colombia devela, luego de verificar la relación entre principios, prácticas y productos esperados, el grado de responsabilidad de las cooperativas con su entorno dados sus hábitos de No Prioridad del Ánimo de Lucro Personalista y en particular sus rutinas de emisión de Transferencias Sociales en Especie (TSE, en adelante), que en definitiva son las prácticas que estas empresas desarrollan en sintonía con los ODS. Estas prácticas podrían reportarse en el Balance Social como una de las herramientas más contundentes para demostrar el aporte de las cooperativas a los ODS.Con estos hallazgos se plantea, como propuesta final, fortalecer los vínculos instrumentales con fundamentos teóricos del institucionalismo económico contemporáneo y las nociones aplicadas de Balance Social, con el fin de contribuir a seguir revelando, en lateoría y en la práctica, el aporte de las cooperativas a los ODS.
El capital social local y sus determinantes: evidencia de Cataluña
Authors: Sànchez Coll Sergi
Published: July 2020

Ante la creciente importancia del estudio del capital social como componente institucional y la escasez de estudios empíricos a menor escala y fuera de los Estados Unidos, este trabajo pretende identificar algunos de determinantes observables del capital social en los municipios y comarcas de Cataluña, así como su relación con los niveles de capital social y su distribución territorial. Esto se consigue mediante el uso de la participación electoral, la densidad asociativa y las donaciones de sangre como variables de capital social. Usando datos de corte transversal y de panel y mediante regresiones por mínimos cuadrados ordinarios y de efectos aleatorios respectivamente se encuentran efectos relevantes sobre el capital social del grado de movilidad residencial, la densidad de población y asociativa, el régimen de propiedad de la vivienda, la renta, el nivel educativo y la edad. En ciertos casos las relaciones se corresponden con las encontradas en la literatura existente. Además, extrayendo sus componentes principales se elabora un índice de capital social, con el cual se observa una distribución geográfica desigual del atributo, penalizando el Área Metropolitana de Barcelona y la costa.
A missing tool to achieve the UN 2030 agenda goal n.8: a proposal for a regulatory framework at a federal level regarding worker
Authors: Arana-Landin Sofía
Published: July 2020

Worldwide interest and support for worker cooperatives at all levels, from global to local are increasing. The 2030 UN Agenda, Goal 8 aims to promote “sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all”. Even so, worker cooperatives are still rare in the United States.Unfortunately, as there is no comprehensive regulatory framework for worker cooperatives in the USA or a minimum legislation covering their concept at a federal level, the study is conducted through the judicial interpretation of sections 1381 through 1388 in subchapter T to the Internal Revenue Code. Nonetheless, a clear pattern and conclusions can be deducted out of it. The obsolete, partial, incomplete and inadequate regulation calls for a revision as it hinders potential worker cooperatives from getting the strength and resilience they need.This paper seeks to explore the reasons for this relative neglect, looking at a) the meaning of worker cooperatives at a federal level in the US, b) their possible separate regulation and federal/States competence issues, and c) possible ways of promoting worker cooperatives through US tax law complying with the 2030 UN agenda.

Authors: Ibrahim Fahmi Iqbal , Darmoko Darmoko
Published: July 2020

One result of culture is literary work, but broadly speaking literature is the work of individuals, only the object delivered will not be separated from the culture and social life of the community. The close relationship between literature and culture can produce literary works that have a function as cultural preservation. A complex culture can be reflected in a literary work. If traced carefully, it can be known that some authors have included a tradition and culture of an area in their literary work. One type of imaginary story is a novel. A novel is a term for a long, imaginary literary work that presents characters and displays a series of events and settings in a structured manner. This study uses the novel Asmara Djibrat Ludira (Furthermore abbreviated ADL) as a data source. The theory used for structural analysis in the form of figures, characterizations, plot, background, themes, and message in ADL novels is a structural theory from Panuti Sudjiman a book called “Memahami Cerita Rekaan” (Understanding Fiction Stories), while for analyzing darma (spiritual mission) in Javanese morality context, researcher using ethical theory from Franz Magnis Suseno and descriptive - qualitative method from Teeuw and John W. Creswell. The conclusion of this study shows that moral message contained in it regarding the role of soldiers who must always hold fast to the principles of spiritual mission and the spiritual mission (darma) of the main character's knights is done by fighting the invaders and saving his lover.

LOVE CONFESSIONS IN JAPANESE FROM STREET INTERVIEW
Authors: Filia Filia , Nurfitri Rizki
Published: July 2020

This paper examines expressions of love confession in Japanese. Love confession is expressed not only verbally but also nonverbally. Sometimes it needs to be communicated both verbally and nonverbally. It seems the variations of love confession not limited to the common phrases (such as suki desu 'I love you', tsukiatte kudasai 'can we have a relationship?'). In preliminary observation, we found love confession declared not only in common phrases but also in indirect expressions of love confession. This is become a point of departure to overview expression of love confession in Japanese.The data are collected from 12 street interview videos.

DEATH AND ONE OF ITS MANY NARRATIVES: THE STORY OF THE STOLPERSTEINE-PROJECT IN GERMANY
Authors: Suganda Sonya Puspasari
Published: July 2020

Within the contemporary German society, there is an initiative that has been ongoing for over 25 years. This initiative is called the Stolperschwelle which is conducted to commemorate the falling victims of the Nazi. An artist named Gunter Demnig started the whole project in 1992, and in 2017 – with the support of the society – he succeeded to place the 70.000th stumbling stone (in German; Stolpersteine), a 96 mm x 96 mm x 100mm brass plaques in the pavement of the last victim’s address. At first, it was meant to remember the death of the Jewish during the Nazi era, but nowadays the stumbling stones also represent the death of the marginalized groups including the Gipsy, the homosexuals, people with physical disability, and people who are falsely accused because of their religious and political belief. In the Stolpersteine-project, anybody can show their respect for the victims of the Nazi by sponsoring a stumbling stone – its manufacture and its installation for 120 euro – dedicated to one victim. This article analyses how this Stolpersteine-project can be viewed from various perspectives by using socio-cultural, historical, and urban landscape perspectives. The study is conducted using a qualitative approach through literature review. The findings show that the main story evolving around the Stolperstein project is the death of someone, caused by extremely terrible matter. By engaging in the Stolperstein, the modern German society tries to commemorate someone’s death, even someone they do not personally know. The historical perspective looks at the difference of microhistory and macrohistory when it comes to one nation’s history. In the Stolpersteine project, people deal greatly with microhistory. Finally, the urban landscape perspective emphasizes that the construction of space can contribute to reliving the past as well as building a better understanding for a nation’s generation.
PROBLEMS IN TRANSLATING FROM ARABIC TO INDONESIAN: A STUDY OF THE TRANSLATION OF QURANIC IDIOMS INTO INDONESIAN
Authors: Imamuddin Basuni , Muta’ali Abdul , Triwinarti Wiwin
Published: July 2020

This article analyzes message switching, idiomatic expressions, characteristics of idioms, idiomatic forms, and Quranic idioms. The data source of this research is 28 idiomatic expressions in the Quran. The method used is content analysis using a lexical, grammatical, and Arabic stylistic approach. Idiomatic expression is a form of combination of words whose meaning is not the same as the meaning of each word that forms the combination. This article will analyze idiomatic patterns in the Quran whether the Quran tends to use verbal phrase idioms, nominal phrase idioms, prepositional idioms, clause idioms, sentence idioms, and idioms in Arabic translated to non-idioms in Indonesian. Equivalents for idioms in Arabic are sought from among the idioms in Indonesian whereas non-idioms in Arabic are translated as idioms in Indonesian. Quranic idioms mentioned in this article are idioms found in the Quran. In Arabic tasybih baligh (the eloquent analogy) is a very sophisticated language style, there is nothing more sophisticate than tasybih baligh. The conclusion of this article is that the translation or transfer of the meaning of sentences in the source language (SL) into the target language (TL) is much easier than transferring the meaning of surface structures which are sometimes complex, have multiple interpretations, and difficult to understand. Translations of the Quranic verses are more likely to use a faithful translation approach, namely a translation that is faithful to the linguistic form of the source language (SL).
Prevalence of Clinodactyly in the Fourth and Fifth Toes of Newborns in Northern Spain: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: De Francisco-Peñalva Fernando , Martínez-Nova Alfonso , Carrafang Anne Cecile , Cuevas-García José Carlos , Sánchez-Rodríguez Raquel , Alonso-Peña David , Gijon-Nogueron Gabriel
Published: July 2020

Background

The foot of a newborn is a structure that is under formation and is susceptible to presenting pathologic disorders from the moment of birth. Evidence of the prevalence of clinodactyly in newborns is scarce. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine that prevalence and its interrelationship with gestational and neonatal factors.

Methods

In a sample of 305 newborns (147 boys and 158 girls), the commonest podiatric medical alterations with either a genetic or a postural component present at the moment of birth were explored physically. The prevalence found in the sample was then related to different anthropometric, gestational, and racial/ethnic parameters of the newborn.

Results

The sex of the newborn was unrelated to any podiatric medical pathology found. Clinodactyly was present in approximately 90% of the fifth toes studied. Breech or transverse fetal presentation and the width of the forefoot affected the appearance of clinodactyly of the fourth and fifth toes. The anthropometric differences between the feet of boys and girls were verified.

Conclusions

The presence of clinodactyly of the fourth and fifth toes in newborns is a frequent clinical finding and should, therefore, be considered in the podopediatric examination. In the neonatal population studied, the pathologic disorders explored did not depend on sex. The prevalence of fourth and fifth toe clinodactyly was significantly influenced by breech or transverse presentation and by forefoot width, but not by the mother's race/ethnicity.

Published: July 2020

Background

Onychomycosis is the most common infectious nail disorder. Direct mycologic examination is still the cornerstone of diagnosis; however, it may take several weeks to obtain a result. Recently some dermoscopic patterns that can be useful in the diagnosis of onychomycosis were described. However, published data on dermoscopic features of onychomycosis are still limited.

Methods

We performed a prospective dermoscopic study of patients with positive fungal culture between April and December 2016. Patients with a final diagnosis of psoriasis or lichen planus were excluded from the study. Dermoscopy (polarized and nonpolarized) was performed.

Results

Thirty-seven patients were enrolled, 24 women and 13 men (median ± SD age, 48.6 ± 16.1 years). Nail samples were culture positive for Trichophyton rubrum (89.2%), Trichophyton interdigitale (8.1%), and Candida albicans (2.7%). Distal and lateral subungual onychomycosis was the most frequent clinical subtype (59.5%). The most frequent dermoscopic features were subungual keratosis (73.0%), distal subungual longitudinal striae (70.3%), spikes of the proximal margin of an onycholytic area (59.5%), transverse superficial leukonychia (29.7%), and linear hemorrhage (13.5%). Brown chromonychia was most frequently seen with nonpolarized dermoscopy (66.6% versus 24%; P = .027).

Conclusions

Specific dermoscopic signs of onychomycosis are mostly related to the proximal invasion of the nail plate. Detection of these signs is simple and can, in some cases, help avoid mycologic testing.
Tibia Fracture in Staged Limb Salvage Using External Ring Fixation and Intramedullary Nailing: A Report of Two Cases
Authors: Powers Nicholas S. , St. John Jason M. , Burns Patrick R.
Published: July 2020

Limb salvage for Charcot's neuroarthropathy has been shown to have high complication and failure rates. The aim of our report of two cases it to present a unique complication encountered with staged limb salvage for Charcot's neuroarthropathy. In two cases, patients developed delayed tibial shaft fracture associated with previous wire placement despite insertion of locked intramedullary nail fixation that spanned the delayed fracture. Both patients experienced fractures following advancement of weight after definitive fixation. In both patients, there was noted complication with the sites of the pins and revision of external fixation before fracture. In each case, the fracture was within the construct of the intramedullary fixation and successfully treated with an extended course of nonweightbearing. Complications of external fixation and intramedullary fixation are well reported within the literature; however, tibia fracture is rare. Based on these cases, it would seem prudent to recognize the risk of delayed pin-site complications and ensure adequate length of intramedullary fixation to span the potential areas of stress.
