Neonatal septic arthritis is a rare condition which may present as an orthopedic emergency. The sequalae may be devastating in untreated cases. The presentation of neonatal septic arthritis could lead to multitude of differential diagnosis which consequentially delays the final diagnosis. It is very crucial to make an early diagnosis in such cases and commence prompt or timely appropriate management to prevent serious complications. Worldwide incidence in the neonatal age group is 0.3 per 1000 live births, although higher incidence of 0.6 per 1000 live birth has been reported in India, [1,2]. Older children are affected more than the younger age group and the hip joint is most commonly affected because of its unique anatomy and blood supply. The Pathogenic bacteria most commonly found to be responsible for septic arthritis are staphylococcus aureus, haemophilus influenza and streptococcus agalactiae (GBS). We are reporting a rare case of septic arthritis in the shoulder joint to a neonate caused by GBS bacteria, presenting as a late onset infection.

Authors: GASIMOVA Tukazban , ERÇİN YURCU Melis
Published: October 2023

2020 senesinde İkinci Karabağ Savaşı'nın en dikkat çekici sonuçlarından biri olan Zengezur koridoru, yerel, bölgesel ve kıtalararası olmak üzere üç boyutta önem taşımaktadır. Yerel düzeyde, koridorun geçtiği bölgeler üzerinden ülkelerdeki yerel ekonomik kalkınmayı teşvik edici rolü bulunmaktadır. Zengezur Koridoru, Türkiye, Azerbaycan ve Ermenistan'ın az gelişmiş bölgelerinden geçmesiyle büyük bir önem taşımaktadır. Koridor, Azerbaycan'ın uzun süredir işgal altında olan güneybatı bölgelerine bağlanmasını sağlarken, aynı zamanda Türkiye'nin de terörle mücadele eden doğu bölgelerine ekonomik büyüme sağlayacaktır. Bu çalışma, Zengezur Koridoru'nun Azerbaycan'ın dış ticaret ve lojistik sektörü üzerinde olası etkilerini araştırmayı hedeflemektedir. Lojistik sektörüne odaklanan çalışmada, koridorun sektöre etkileri, güçlü ve zayıf yönleri ile ortaya çıkaracağı fırsatlar ve tehditler değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmada SWOT analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, Zengezur Koridoru'nun Azerbaycan'ın dış ticaret ve lojistik sektöründe olumlu bir etki yaratacağı ve aynı zamanda toplumlar arasında barışa katkı sağlayacağı sonucuna varılmıştır. Koridor, Asya ile Avrupa arasında transit ulaşım projeleri için Azerbaycan üzerinden önemli bir fırsat sunmaktadır ve Azerbaycan Avrasya'da ulaşım ve lojistik merkezi olarak güçlenecektir. Ancak, koridor çalışmalarının net bir plana sahip olmaması ve bölgedeki güvenlik sorunlarının devam etmesi, Azerbaycan ve Ermenistan arasındaki sınırların belirlenmemesi gibi zayıf yönler bulunmaktadır. Ayrıca, ABD ve Avrupa'da etkili Ermeni lobileri de koridorun açılmasına karşı önemli bir tehdit oluşturmaktadır.

Yemen’s Public Sector transformation: Unpacking the dynamics of assessing organizational culture, leadership Approaches and Employees Adherence to Change
Authors:   Business School, University of International Business and Economics (UIBE), China., Almekhlafi Hesham Mohamed Othman
Published: October 2023

The primary aim of this research is to evaluate the influence of leadership style on affective commitment to change, taking into consideration the moderating role of organizational culture. This study utilizes a mixed-methods approach, incorporating both quantitative survey data from 371 employees in Yemeni public organizations and qualitative interviews with managers. The findings show that employees' affective commitment to change and transformational leadership are positively correlated. Furthermore, a favourable correlation is discovered between affective commitment to change and transactional leadership. The results have significance in that they point to the positive moderating influence of organisational culture on the association between affective commitment to change among employees and leadership styles. Interestingly, compared to transformational leadership, transactional leadership is a stronger predictor of affective commitment to change.

"In the digital era preserving the privacy of confidential information is the crucial issue in authentication and secret communication. Cryptography, steganography, data anonymization are few techniques used to preserve the information. Steganography is the process of hiding information into other non-secret sources of information like text, image or audio, so that secret information is not visible to the naked eye. This paper proposes a novel Prime Number Based Embedding (PNBE) approach for efficient data hiding to encode the data in images without any visual distortion. This approach proposes a novel scheme for identifying the embedding location of the data in the image and PNBE algorithm for the encoding and decoding of messages. The proposed approach is demonstrated with benchmark images. The data encoding capacity and quality are tested on different sized images. Experimental results show better hiding capacity in terms of bytes ranging from 6,327 to 12,448 based on the size of the image. The quality of the image is described as Peak to Signal Noise Ratio (PSNR), which computes the quality difference between original and compressed images. The efficiency of the proposed approach is demonstrated using PSNR with higher values. It is observed from the results that the proposed approach outperforms the existing ones in terms of embedding capacity and quality of the images. "

"Datasets comprise a collection of features; however, not all of these features may be necessary. Feature selection is the process of identifying the most relevant features while eliminating redundant or irrelevant ones. To be effective, feature selection should improve classification performance while reducing the number of features. Existing algorithms can be adapted and modified into feature selectors. In this study, we introduce the implementation of the Anarchic Society Optimization algorithm, a human-inspired algorithm, as a feature selector. This is the first study that utilizes the binary version of the algorithm for feature selection. The proposed Binary Anarchic Society Algorithm is evaluated on nine datasets and compared to three known algorithms: Binary Genetic Algorithm, Binary Particle Swarm Optimization, and Binary Gray Wolf Optimization. Additionally, four traditional feature selection techniques (Info Gain, Gain Ratio, Chi-square, and ReliefF) are incorporated for performance comparison. Our experiments highlight the competitive nature of the proposed method, suggesting its potential as a valuable addition to existing feature selection techniques."

Simple Assessing of Calcification Catalyzed by Thermophilic Bacteria
Authors: Yoshida Naoto
Published: October 2023

Several bacterial species have been found to involve the biomineralization phenomenon promoted by them. The formation of calcium carbonate mineral (calcification) is most abundant phenomena as biomineralization by bacteria. Here we introduce the simple assessing method of calcification catalyzed by thermophilic bacteria. To obtain the fresh biomass of thermophilic bacterium, the thermophilic bacteria was cultured on conventional nutrient agar medium at 60˚C. Fresh biomass of bacteria is simply placed on calcite promoting hydrogel surface, and incubated at 60˚C. After incubation for 24 to 72 h, a number of single crystals can be found in the biomass. This method provides simple assessing for screening of calcification upon thermophilic bacteria.

Netiquette: Fundamentals of Etiquette in Digital Communication
Authors: Oral Uğur
Published: October 2023

Socialization is an innate human need. The individual finds himself/herself in a social environment as soon as he/she is born. As human beings communicate with those around them, they become aware of the existence of some social regulators such as laws, moral rules, and traditions that regulate the relationships they establish. Among these rules, etiquette rules have a special place. Etiquette rules are the rules of respect and courtesy that should be shown sensitivity in interpersonal relations. Although they do not have legal sanctions such as the rules of law, when the rules of etiquette are violated, the person is shamed, excluded from society, and left alone. Today, in addition to face-to-face communication, there is a very intense socialization on digital platforms. Interpersonal communication evolved into a different internet-based relationship network. The rules called Netiquette, in the simplest definition, are regulations that beautify and protect social relations established through the internet. Digital platforms are not environments where freedoms are experienced unlimitedly and without rules. It should not be forgotten that only the environment is virtual, but the people are real. In other words, the rules of social behavior that regulate our relationships in our daily lives also apply to the communication we establish through the internet. Acting in a manner sensitive to the rules of etiquette when communicating with others over the Internet will further strengthen social relations, while the opposite situation will lead to the termination of existing relationships.

Is open access a "solution without a problem" for the humanities?
Authors: Eve Martin Paul
Published: October 2023

At a recent talk I gave, I was asked whether open access in the humanities is a "solution without a problem". Without wanting to disparage my questioner, I consider this to be a question born of institutional privilege and of conservatism. Firstly, I consider it a perspectivized take on the situation; just because one cannot see a problem does not mean that it doesn't exist, merely that it is invisible to that particular questioner.

Please welcome Rukwatitan (over on Mark Witton’s blog)
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

I just read Mark Witton’s piece on the new new titanosaur  Rukwatitan  (as opposed to the old new titanosaur  Dreadnoughtus  ). I was going to write something about it, but I realised that Mark has already said everything I would have, but better. So get yourselves over to his piece and enjoy the titanosaurianness of it all!

tiny brontosauruses

This arrived on my Facebook wall, courtesy of Raul Diaz. For a split second I really did think the one second from the right was an older-model Carnegie  Brachiosaurus  toy. I assume that, like me, you have people in your life that you don’t correspond with very often, and when you remember that they exist, it just makes you happy.
Halogen bonds 3: “Nitrogen tri-iodide”
Authors: Rzepa Henry
Published: October 2023

Nitrogen tri-iodide, or more accurately the complex between it and ammonia ranks amongst the oldest known molecules (1812). I became familiar with it around the age of 12-13, in an era long gone when boys (and very possibly girls too) were allowed to make such substances in their parent’s back gardens

an experiment which earned me a personal request to visit the head teacher.
I’m speaking at ESOF2014 on “Should science always be open?”
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

In a couple of weeks (in the early afternoon of 25 June), I’ll be speaking at ESOF 2014 (the EuroScience Open Forum) in Copenhagen, Denmark. The session I’m part of is entitled “Should science always be open?“, and the irony is not lost on me that, as that page says, “You must be registered and signed in to download session materials.” So here is the abstract for my talk — one of four in the session, to be followed by an open discussion.
Sauroposeidon in 3D
Authors: Wedel Matt
Published: October 2023

I was in Oklahoma and Texas last week, seeing  Sauroposeidon  ,  Paluxysaurus  ,  Astrophocaudia  , and  Alamosaurus  , at the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, the Shuler Museum of Paleontology at SMU, and the Perot Museum of Nature and Science, respectively.
Mid-Mesozoic Field Conference, Day 3: Dinosaur Journey Museum
Authors: Wedel Matt
Published: October 2023

Actually we had the Jurassic talks today, but I can’t show you any of the slides*, so instead you’re getting some brief, sauropod-centric highlighs from the museum. * I had originally written that the technical content of the talks is embargoed, but that’s not true–as ReBecca Hunt-Foster pointed out in a comment, the conference guidebook with all of the abstracts is freely available online here.
Come on, AAAS. You can do better than this.
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

A couple of weeks ago, more than hundred scientists sent an open letter to the AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science) about their new open-access journal  Science Advances  , which is deficient in various ways — not least the absurdly inflated article-processing charge.
Get your relative-lengths-of-sauropod-necks T-shirts!
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

Are you a lover of sauropod necks? Do you long to demonstrate to your friends and family how much better[1] they are than the necks of other long-necked critters? Are you crazy for the Taylor and Wedel (2013a) paper on  why sauropods had long necks; and why giraffes have short necks  , but disappointed that it’s not, until now, been obtainable in T-shirt form? If so, it’s your lucky day!
Summer of Student Innovation: Mobile App Development Update

Mike Taylor’s ESOF2014 talk: should science always be open?
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

As recently noted, it was my pleasure and privilege on 25 June to give a talk at the ESOF2014 conference in Copenhagen (the EuroScience Open Forum). My talk was one of four, followed by a panel discussion, in a session on the subject “Should science always be open?“. I had just ten minutes to lay out the background and the problem, so it was perhaps a bit rushed. But you can judge for yourself, because the whole session was recorded on video.
The freakily consistent colour palette of Wedel and Taylor (2013) on caudal pneumaticity
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

Back in 2013, when we were in the last stages of preparing our paper Caudal pneumaticity and pneumatic hiatuses in the sauropod dinosaurs  Giraffatitan  and  Apatosaurus  (Wedel and Taylor 2013b), I noticed that, purely by chance, all ten of the illustrations shared much the same limited colour palette: pale brows and blues (and of course black and white). I’ve always found this strangely appealing.

Open Letter to the AAAS about Science Advances
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

Dear  AAAS, This is an open letter concerning the recent launch of the new open access journal, Science Advances. In addition to the welcome diversification in journal choices for authors looking for open access venues, there are many positive aspects of Science Advances: its broad STEM scope, its interest in cross-disciplinary research, and the offering of fee waivers.

So, this is on the shelves right now. Underage anthropomorphic martial chelonian cargo notwithstanding, the  Triceratops  on the cover is pretty standard. The one on the inside is much less so. Or, at least it would have been up until a couple of years ago. Apparently, dinos that are  All-Yesterdays  -ed out are a pop culture Thing now.

Give a talk that holds attention!
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

I am just back from SVPCA, where I saw fifty 20-minute talks in three days. (I try to avoid missing any talks at all if I can avoid it, and this year I did.) As always, there was lots of fascinating stuff, and much of it not about the topics that I would necessarily have expected to enjoy.

The Committee will provide long term perspective to the project and serve as a guide to our international student team that runs the Open Access Button.
SO close
Authors: Wedel Matt
Published: October 2023

I have often argued that given their long hindlimbs, massive tail-bases, and posteriorly-located centers of mass, diplodocids were basically bipeds whose forelimbs happened to reach the ground. I decided to see what that might look like. Okay, now obviously I know that there are no trackways showing sauropods actually getting around like this. It’s just a thought experiment.

 [NOTE: see the updates at the bottom. In summary, there’s nothing to see here and I was mistaken in posting this in the first place.]  Elsevier’s War On Access was stepped up last year when they started contacting individual universities to prevent them from letting the world read their research.
Five conversations
Authors: Wedel Matt
Published: October 2023

   5. Brian Kraatz, 2004  In the spring of 2004, I was killing time over in Tony Barnosky’s lab at Berekeley, talking to Brian Kraatz about something–mammals, probably. Brian told me that I should consider going to the International Congress of Zoology that was happening in Beijing that fall. He’d actually told me about it several times, but I kept forgetting about it. It seemed remote from my concerns.
LAST CHANCE to book your place for TetZooCon
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

Folks, You may know that the inaugral TetZooCon is set to take place next Saturday (12 July) at the London Wetland Centre. It’s an informal convention that’s condensed around occasional SV-POW!sketeer Darren Naish’s absurdly informative blog Tetrapod Zoology, and features a day of talks, a palaeoart workshop and a quiz. At £40 for the day, it’s a bit of a bargain.

Here’s how I’ve been describing it:  Understanding posture and motion in the necks of sauropods: the crucial role of cartilage in intervertebral joints  The sauropod dinosaurs were an order of magnitude bigger than any other terrestrial animal.

Just over a year ago, in his write-up of the Edinburgh SVPCA, Matt included a photo of me standing in front of a Giant Irish Elk (  Megaloceros  ), positioned so that the antlers seem to be growing out of my head. Matt finished his post with a background-free version of that photo, and commented: It has come to pass.
Here’s that sheep-skull multiview you ordered
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

Remember I picked up those three sheep skulls (and some other bones, including a complete neck) from a shallow pit in a field near where we live? Here is first of the skulls, cleaned up and photographed in orthogonal views. It’s interesting to compare it to the pig skull from way back: Sheep and pigs are both perfectly well-behaved artiodactyls, but their skulls are  dramatically  different.
