Authors: Constantinescu David , Luxenburg Dylan , Syros Alina , Bondar Kevin J. , Barnhill Spencer , Vanden Berge Dennis , Vilella-Hernandez Fernando
Published: February 2023

Introduction:

Multisystem injuries affecting vasculature and nerves can be detrimental sequelae of knee dislocations (KDs). The purpose of this study was to provide an update of the current literature since the conducted search used in the publication of Medina et al on May 3, 2013, to evaluate (1) the frequency of vascular and neurologic injury after KD, (2) the frequency with which surgical intervention was conducted for vascular injury in this setting, and (3) the frequency with which each imaging modality was used to detect vascular injury.

Methods:

A two-author screening process was conducted in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines using the MEDLINE database. Frequency of vascular injury, surgical intervention, and amputation after KD were analyzed. Diagnostic modalities used in the acute-care setting were also evaluated.

Results:

Nineteen articles were analyzed for a total of 37,087 KDs. Of these, 10.7% sustained vascular injuries and 19.6% sustained nerve injuries. Overall, 62.2% of patients with vascular injury underwent surgical repair and 2.2% limbs resulted in amputation. Angiography was the most frequently used diagnostic modality (91.7%).

Discussion:

This review updates our understanding on the clinical implications of KDs including frequency of vascular injury (10.7%), amputation (2.2%), and nerve injuries (19.6%). Compared with prior literature, there was an increased prevalence of KD1 (32.4%) and lateral KDs (80.4%). Most vascular injuries after KD undergo surgical repair (62.2%).

Introduction:

Chondrosarcoma is a common primary bone tumor, and survival is highly influenced by stage at diagnosis. Early detection is paramount to improve outcomes. The aim of this study is to analyze the association between insurance status and stage of chondrosarcoma at the time of diagnosis.

Methods:

A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted using the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database. Patients with a diagnosis of chondrosarcoma between 2007 and 2016 were included. Exposure variable was insurance status and the outcome chondrosarcoma staging at the time of diagnosis. Control variables included tumor grade, age, sex, race, ethnicity, marital status, place of residence, and primary site. Both unadjusted and adjusted (multiple logistic regression) odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were computed to estimate the association between insurance status and stage.

Results:

An effective sample of 2,187 patients was included for analysis. In total, 1824 (83%) patients had health insurance (nonspecified), 277 (13%) had Medicaid, and the remaining 86 (4%) had no insurance. Regarding stage at diagnosis, 1,213 (55%) had localized disease, whereas 974 (45%) had a later stage at presentation. Before adjustment, the odds of being diagnosed at an advanced (regional/distant) stage were 55% higher in patients without insurance (unadjusted OR 1.55; 95% CI 1.003 to 2.39). After adjusting for potential confounders, the odds increased (adjusted OR 1.94; 95% CI 1.12 to 3.32). Variables with a significant association with a later stage at diagnosis included older age (P < 0.001), male sex (P < 0.001), pelvic location (P < 0.001), and high grade (P < 0.001).

Conclusion:

Being uninsured in the United States increased the odds of a late-stage diagnosis of chondrosarcoma by 94% when compared with insured patients. Lack of medical insurance presumably leads to diminished access to necessary diagnostic testing, which results in a more advanced stage at diagnosis and ultimately a worse prognosis. Efforts are required to remediate healthcare access disparities.

Trunnions and Modularity in Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Historical Review With Current Clinical Implications
Authors: Vajapey Sravya P. , Shah Vivek M. , Estok Daniel M.
Published: February 2023

Trunnion in total hip arthroplasty refers to the interface between the neck of a femoral stem and the femoral head. Clinical complications arising from damage to this junction, whether it be due to mechanical wear, corrosion, or a combination, are referred to as mechanically assisted crevice corrosion (MACC), also commonly known as trunnionosis. With the use of modular hip prostheses, which help customize offset and leg length to an individual patient's anatomy, the incidence of MACC and revision due to MACC has increased in recent years. Although the cause of MACC is multifactorial, with patient factors and technique factors contributing to this condition, taper design and geometry, metallurgical properties of implants, and size mismatch of the bearing couple are some of the implant factors that have also been implicated in this clinical phenomenon. Understanding the history of taper design and geometry, the track record of older implants, and the rationale behind the development of current prostheses can help surgeons choose the right implants for their patients and accurately assess the pros and cons of new implants being introduced to the market each year.
Effect of glutamine supplementation in elderly people with emphasis on sarcopenia, immunity and hypertrophy: a concise systematic review
Authors: Coelho Camilla Reis Fernandes
Published: February 2023

Currently, the aging of the population is no longer a forgotten subject for health professionals in Brazil. This is due to the decrease in the birth rate in the country and the improvement in quality of life, this first factor was boosted after the ease of access to information on contraceptive methods and their distribution by the health system. As a result, the Nutrition area has been studying more diligently ways to provide elderly people with methods that contribute to a more comfortable, healthy, and long-lasting life. The nutritionist is essential to identify the deficits and disharmonization of the body of the elderly caused naturally over the years in people's lives, such as loss of muscle mass, and lack of nutrients, among others. Given this scenario, this work will be focused on showing that the use of oral Glutamine supplementation contributes to the gain of muscle mass in the elderly since this natural amino acid present mainly in the muscle tissue of the human body is greatly reduced due to loss of mass skin and body weight gain caused by the slow metabolism found in older people. In this way, supplementation along with a well-designed nutritional table and an exercise routine will promote less chance of injury to the elderly due to a lack of nutrients and greater physical resistance. To reinforce and prove this study, we will use the literature review method distributed in topics.

Faculty members were challenged to continue teaching beyond the traditional mode during the COVID- 19 pandemic. Therefore, the research focused on the level of management functions and technological preparedness of the faculty members with permanent employment status under the business programs of higher education institutions (HEIs) in Nueva Vizcaya. The idea behind the research was drawn from the theories of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling and technology preparedness in terms of technology access, technology skills and literacy, and attitude toward technology. The study’s findings revealed that faculty members have a high level of management and technology preparedness. Moreover, the study revealed that the profile of the faculty members had no relationship to their level of implementation of management strategies. On the other hand, younger faculty members have greater technology access and literacy skills. Furthermore, profiles were not a significant factor in their level of attitude toward technology. More results showed that when the level of implementation of management strategies is high, the result is also high in terms of technological preparedness. Based on the study’s findings, the researcher recommended an enhanced program for better implementation of flexible learning in HEIs.

Published: February 2023

Pakistan is home to several indigenous communities. However, life in cities is much more challenging than in under-developed areas. Due to social mobility, economic uplift, and better educational and health opportunities; communities migrate from their local towns to cities. Hence, each province reflects a diverse population and cultural groups speaking their mother tongues, practicing different religions, and following their cultural norms independently. Therefore, this study aims to explore the case of young migrant Kashmiri speakers who are residing in different urban parts of Karachi. As the focus is to identify the language use and identity patterns of young Kashmiri speakers in the presence of dominant languages and cultures. Consequently, the qualitative case study has been undertaken using purposive sampling to know about the scenario of young Kashmiris. For this purpose, data were collected from 05 participants using semi-structured interviews and the responses were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings of the study show that the young Kashmiris use the Urdu language in different domains like home, market, education, and friends because of upward social mobility and lingua franca. As a result, it is being used in their ancestral hometowns as well. While the Kashmiri language has been restricted and it is only used for fun and interaction with only relatives. Similarly, the linguistic identity is predefined by being proud of the Kashmiri language, its association and affiliation with the Kashmiri land, and geography. Overall, although the language patterns showed a shift, the linguistic identity is preserved by a high ethnolinguistic vitality among the young generation in cities.

Teaching English Sounds to Vietnamese Secondary School Students: From Theories to Applications Using Learner-centered Methods
Authors: Nguyen Hong Nhung
Published: February 2023

Pronunciation plays a pivotal role in language teaching for communicative purposes. Practitioners, however, are either ignorant or reluctant to teach pronunciation due to insufficient professional training, time restrictions, large classrooms, and excessive language knowledge. This research was conducted to fill this gap. The author carefully synthesized theories of language and second language (L2) learning to design a series of activities for teaching English pronunciation to Vietnamese secondary school students with the use of learner-centered methods. Sixteen pronunciation lessons on sounds from English 6 i-Learn Smart World (Vo et al., 2021) and English 7 i-Learn Smart World (Vo et al., 2022) were examined. The findings recommended some activities which were based on the pronunciation acquisition of meaning, form, and use and followed the Pre-While-Post teaching procedure. The pedagogical issues mentioned will be resolved in similar educational settings when this effort succeeds in developing a basic theory-based procedure to teach English sounds.

The Role of Labor Productivity in Reducing Carbon Emission Utilizing the Method of Moments Quantile Regression: Evidence from Top 40 Emitter Countries
Authors: Al-Jafari Mohamed Khaled , Abdulkadhim Altaee Hatem Hatef
Published: February 2023

Global warming has become one of the most serious world-challenging issues nowadays, and much effort is being done to combat its consequences. Therefore, studying the trade-off between carbon emissions and economic activity remains an attractive subject for researchers. In this study, the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis is adopted to verify the trade-off between carbon dioxide emissions per capita and labor productivity in the top 40 emitter countries. Accordingly, a panel data from the top 40 emitter countries is employed from 1992 to 2018, and the novel method of moments quantile regression (MMQREG) is used to analyze the nexus among the variables. In addition, four robustness tests were used to validate the initial results. The findings reveal evidence for the N-shape EKC in the top 40 emitter countries. This indicates that economic growth initially will improve environmental quality up to a certain labor productivity level. However, after reaching a certain turning point, per capita CO2 emission began to fall with rising labor productivity up to the second tipping point, and then, a subsequent phase of deterioration. Heterogeneous characteristics are, however, detected over the N-shape EKC. Like the conclusion reached from the MMQREG, the pooled ordinary least squares (POLS), the fixed-effects (FE), the random-effects (RE), and the fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) all confirmed the existence of the N-shape hypothesis.

Published: February 2023

This study examines the effectiveness of an innovative model of integrating financial education into a career planning course at the college level. A total of 104 freshman students (48 in the day division and 56 in the evening division) were sampled. Based on the analysis of the “College Students Financial Planning Survey Questionnaire” revealed that: 90% of the daytime students and 97% of the evening students agreed on the importance of financial education and financial planning in career planning; daytime and evening students share common perspectives on the importance of financial planning in career planning: to realize their dreams, they need to have an adequate financial foundation to support their daily living expenses, and then to plan their financial management well for future retirement security. There are several items of college students’ financial planning status varies between the different education programs. According to the analysis of various score results from the “Career Planning Course Learning Satisfaction Questionnaire”, there was no significant difference across academic systems in the analysis of satisfaction with the integration of financial education into a career planning course; the three most important overall satisfaction analyses all indicate a high level of satisfaction, including: the overall teaching content, the overall content design of financial education, and the benefit of integrating financial education into the career planning courses for personal career planning. Finally, this study offers some specific suggestions for integrating college financial education into a career planning course.

An Advanced Control and Stability Analysis of Wind Solar Integrated Microgrid
Authors: Nazia S. B. , Babu A. Satish
Published: February 2023

In this article, we suggest a micro-grid methodology based on renewable energy sources (RES) in order to make more efficient use of renewable energy sources and use less energy from the traditional power grid. Off-grid, RES likes solar (generated by a photovoltaic panel) and wind can be stored in a battery and utilised to power loads. As an additional measure, a Fuzzy logic-based energy-saving method has been applied. Microgrids are used to integrate these systems in a decentralised fashion, and they provide a suite of technology solutions that facilitate communication between end users and dispersed power plants. This raises the question of how best to administer these systems. In order to guarantee that both the generating and distribution systems produce energy at low operating costs, energy management in microgrids is described as a data and monitoring network that allows the required functions. In this study, we discuss the difficulties associated with using RES and managing a microgrid. Voltage and frequency variations result from the dynamic nature of DG systems. Unpredictable dynamics result from the load's unknowability. As a result of this nonlinear dynamic, there are observable changes to the microgrid's operation. In this study, we test the efficiency of the microgrid in a variety of settings. We compare the PI controller's performance on the MATLAB/Simulink platform to that of a Fuzzy logic-based controller with various levels of complexity.

Collective Ownership and Representation in a Sustainable City

The question is no longer whether we should move to an environmentally sustainable way of living; rather, the question is – how are we supposed to do that? Katharina Pistor’s seminal book The Code of Capital pointed out that our current form of capitalism is enabled by private law, which selectively ‘codes’ certain assets, endowing them with the capacity to protect and produce private wealth. Law can be changed by the legislature, but legal concepts can equally be imbued with new meanings due to changing ways of seeing in society. Indeed, our investigation into two legal innovations – the Community Land Trust (CLT) and the Zoöp model – demonstrates how little change of the legal hardware of society is required for meaningful legal change in service of sustainability in the city and beyond. Whereas the CLT rethinks the stewardship function of property rights, the Zoöp model transforms corporate governance structures to consider nonhumans’ interests – and both do so without waiting for relevant legal changes to be enacted by legislatures. To evaluate the potential and the limitations of these two legal innovations, we assess the extent to which these innovations align with four ‘glocal’ lenses of the Doughnut model developed by the British economist Kate Raworth: to what extent to these legal innovations support the thriving of humans and environment both locally and globally?
A Review on Stem Cells: A New Toll in Diseases Therapy
Authors: Baseer Abdul Qadeer , Mushfiq Shafiqullah , Omid Mohammad Tahir
Published: February 2023

Stem cells are known as special somatic cell types that have the ability to self-renew and differentiate into various types of cells. They are categorized into two major groups such as embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent, which have the potency to differentiate into almost all cell types and grow up from the mesoderm, endoderm, and ectoderm germ layers at the beginning stages of embryo. While adult stem cells can be pluripotent or multipotent, which can differentiate into the family of a closely related cells. Over few decades, researchers have been studying and exploring new ways to treat different types of diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease by using stem cells. Hence, embryonic and adult stem cells have been widely used in stem cell therapy. Here, we elaborate the problems of using embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells in stem cell therapy and its possible solutions, and discuss the applications of both stem cells types in biology-based field including disease modelling, regenerative medicine, drug discovery and cytotoxicity studies.

Published: February 2023

One of the most crucial aspects that shoppers take into account while selecting clothing from racks is fit, and even clothes manufactured by tailors are accepted. When designers create clothing for them, one of the first things that clients look at is fit.

The current study was carried out in Delhi and NCR. The study focuses on the age range that includes young adult women (18-35). To gather data on the study criteria i.e., ever purchasing readymade saree-shirt, place of purchasing, kinds of fitting problem they faced, type for saree-shirt style they like the most etc, a questionnaire was developed. The study's samples were chosen through the use of purposeful random sampling.

Majority of respondents belongs from Meerut district and faced difficulty to find the accurate size, they prefer boutique for their saree-shirt as they have the opinion that finishing of the saree-shirt is good, they get the saree-shirt within the time duration, and they give preference for four dart style over other styles.

The present study was undertaken to assess the fitting problems with saree-shirt facing by customer. Customers face fitting problems not only with readymade as well as stitched saree-shirt. A proper fit for clothing is crucial. A proper fit increase confidence and frees body from impediments so that you can move quickly in the workplace, at home, or at the gym.
Achieving One Trillion Dollar Economy for Tamil Nadu: Some Implications and Concerns
Authors: Rangarajan C , Shanmugam K.R.
Published: February 2023

This study examines whether Tamil Nadu’s economy will become a US $1 trillion economy by 2030, given its current slow growth regime, inflation, and rupee depreciation. Our analyses indicate that, assuming an inflation rate of 5% and 2% exchange rate depreciation per annum, the Tamil Nadu economy needs to grow at a real growth rate of 13.2% per annum for 8 consecutive years from 2023-24 to 2030-31 to reach the US $1 trillion target. Considering the growth contributions of sub sectors, this study simulates multiple growth strategies to achieve 9% overall growth, which would achieve the target in 2033-34. Further, it examines whether export promotion will help to achieve this target. Finally, it shows that the current level of debt-GSDP ratio is a hindrance to growth. It suggests that ensuring 14% nominal (i.e., 9% real) growth of economy, the state should target for a revenue surplus from 2023-24 onwards, such that it contains its fiscal deficit to only 2% level and obtains a sustainable threshold debt level of about 18% in 2034-35.
Bangladesh in Global Peacekeeping: Military as a Soft Power in Portraying the Country as a Responsible Power
Authors:   Doctoral student, Department of International Relations, South Asian University (SAU) in New Delhi, India, Pulami Manish Jung
Published: February 2023

Bangladesh is one of the largest contributors of armed forces to the UN peacekeeping operations around the globe. The country has successfully presented itself as a responsible member of the international community by upholding and preserving the values of global peace and international security. Thus, drawing the facts from Bangladesh’s role in global peacekeeping, the study has forwarded the idea of military as a soft power, highlighting the country’s remarkable contribution to peacekeeping missions. It also illustrates the critical role of soft power for any country to rise as a responsible power. The study has pointed out optimistic and overwhelming international and local responses in enhancing the global image, thus, proving peacekeeping missions as a soft power for Bangladesh. The study explains that this has illustrated Bangladesh as a rising responsible power in the international community. It focuses that Bangladesh’s response to a particular conflict issue around the globe has demonstrated that it adheres to normative, idealistic, and moral values of maintaining peace and international security. The study also points out some of the challenges faced by Bangladesh in peacekeeping missions which could hinder its pathway as a responsible power.
Global and Regional Implications of Sino-Indian Rivalry: A Focus on the Strategic and Economic Dimensions
Authors: Hosen Saddam
Published: February 2023

The paper makes an effort to answer two key questions. To begin, what strategic and economic implications does the Sino-Indian conflict have? Second, what are the global and regional trends in Sino-India conflict in the future? Even though there is a lot of literature on Sino-Indian ties and conflict, there’s much less academic concentration on the implications of Sino-Indian conflict, especially in the hard power dimension. The paper observes that in international and regional affairs, the Sino-Indian competition is not a new phenomenon. The dispute between India and China has posed significant geostrategic challenges to regional peace and security in Asia in recent years. The paper further points out that the geopolitical rivalry between India and China would likely enhance China's naval presence in the Indian Ocean region to challenge India and its western allies. In terms of the economic dimension, India and its western allies, such as the United States and Japan, can develop new supply chains in IOR in order to diminish China's reliance. It argues that while the future of the Sino-Indian conflict may bring great competition rather than cooperation, the reality of the economic system and transnational developments may enable India and China to expand their economic collaboration.
