Authors: Artino Adi , Juanda Bambang , Mulatsih Sri
Published: November 2019

Poverty is one of the indicator of development performance, in terms of community welfare. Cause of  poverty due to uneven distribution of income  and inequality of development. Village funding programs for each village provide positive implications for community welfare. This study aims to see the relationship of village funds to poverty in North Lombok Regency. The method used is geographically weighted regression (GWR). Village funds can reduce poverty in each village in North Lombok Regency, but it does not have a significant effect in reducing poverty because the resulting model is still influenced by other variables outside the model. The variable coefficient of the number of bachelor and paddy fields in each village can reduce poverty and some can increase poverty. So there is a need for policy variation to reduce poverty in each village.

Nostalgiczne kino Wiery Storożewej i Pawła Łungina (na podstawie filmów Podróż ze zwierzętami domowymi i Taxi Blues)
Authors: Waligórska-Olejniczak Beata
Published: November 2019

The article presents the interpretation of two Russian films, Travelling with Pets by Vera Storozheva and Taxi Blues by Pavel Lungin, from the point of view of the category of nostalgia. The article shows that the heroes of both artistic texts function in the hybrid reality, the collapse of the old world accompanies their search for the wholeness and new identity. Travelling with Pets emphasizes the spatial dimension of the experience, whereas Taxi Blues transforms it into the vision of the relationship with time, the continuum of past, present and future, which corresponds with the triad: history-memory-nostalgia.

Fejk – „fabuła z zamiarem oszukania”
Authors: Małecki Łukasz
Published: November 2019

While misinformation and propaganda have existed since ancient times, their importance and influence nowadays – in the age of social media – is still not clear. Recent social and political events, such as the controversial Brexit referendum in the United Kingdom and the narrow win of Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential election of 2016, have led to a wave of interest in the phenomenon of “fake news” – described usually as a piece of fabricated information that disseminates deceptive content or distorts actual news reports, shared on social media. Despite being a new term, “fake news” has also evolved very quickly and rapidly. The present article attempts to analyze how the term “fake news” is being developed in recent years. The article characterizes this relevant social phenomenon linked to cheating, misinformation and manipulation and also proposes its classification and definition.

A new distributed co-simulation architecture for multi-physics based energy systems integration
Authors: Çakmak Hüseyin , Erdmann Anselm , Kyesswa Michael , Kühnapfel Uwe , Hagenmeyer Veit
Published: November 2019

Simulating energy systems integration scenarios enables a comprehensive consideration of interdependencies between multimodal energy grids. It is an important part of the planning for the redesign of the current energy system infrastructure, which is essential for the foreseen drastic reduction of carbon emissions. In contrast to the complex implementation of monolithic simulation architectures, emerging distributed co-simulation technologies enable the combination of several existing single-domain simulations into one large energy systems integration simulation. Accompanying disadvantages of coupling simulators have to be minimized by an appropriate co-simulation architecture. Hence, in the present paper, a new simulation architecture for energy systems integration co-simulation is introduced, which enables an easy and fast handling of the therefore required simulation setup. The performance of the new distributed co-simulation architecture for energy systems integration is shown by a campus grid scenario with a focus on the effects of power to gas and the reversal process onto the electricity grid. The implemented control strategy enables a successful co-simulation of electrolysis coupled with photovoltaics, a hydrogen storage with a combined heat and power plant and a variable power consumption.
Design, synthesis and evaluation of biological activities of some novel anti-TB agents with bio-reducible functional group
Authors: Khani-Meinagh Hossein , Mostafavi Hossein , Reiling Norbert , Mahdavi Majid , Zarrini Gholamreza
Published: November 2019

Introduction: With regard to the anti-mycobacterial activity of 2-pyrazinoic acid esters (POEs), recent studies have shown that both pyrazine core and alkyl part of POE interact with the fatty acid synthase type (I) (FAS (I)) precluding a complex formation between NADPH and FAS (I). Methods: Considering this interaction at the reductase site of FAS (I) responsible for reduction of β-ketoacyl-CoA to β-hydroxyacyl-CoA, we hypothesized that POE containing a bioreducible center in its alkyl part might show an increased anti-tubercular activity due to the involvement of FAS (I) in extra bio-reduction reaction. Thus, we synthesized novel POEs, confirmed their structures by spectral data, and subsequently evaluated their anti-mycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) (H37Rv) strain at 10 μg/mL concentration. Results: Compounds 3c, 3j, and 3m showed higher activity with regard to the inhibition of Mtb growth by 45.4, 45.7, and 51.2% respectively. Unexpectedly, the maltol derived POE 3l having the lowest log p value among the POEs indicated the highest anti-mycobacterial growth activity with 56% prevention. Compounds 3c and 3l showed no remarkable cytotoxicity on human macrophages at 10 μg/mL concentration as analyzed by xCELLigence real-time cell analysis. In further experiments, some of the tested POEs, unlike pyrazinamide (PZA), exhibited significant antibacterial and also anti-fungal activities. POEs showed an enhanced bactericidal activity on gram-positive bacteria as shown for Staphylococcus aureus, e.g. compound 3b with a MIC value of 125 μg/mL but not E. coli as a gram-negative bacteria, except for maltol derived POE (3l) that showed an inverse activity in the susceptibility test. In the anticancer activity test against the human leukemia K562 cell lines using MTT assay, compounds 3e and 3j showed the highest cytotoxic effect with IC50 values of 25±8.0 μΜ and 25±5.0 μΜ, respectively. Conclusion: It was found that the majority of POEs containing a bioreducible center showed higher inhibitory activities on Mtb growth when compared to the similar compounds without a bio-reducible functional group.

Published: November 2019

Introduction: Oxidative stress has been suggested as the main trigger and pathological mechanism of toxic liver injury. Effects of powerful free radical scavenger С60 fullerene on rat liver injury and liver cells (HepG2 line) were aimed to be discovered.Methods: Acute liver injury (ALI) was simulated by single acetaminophen (APAP, 1000 mg/kg) administration, on a chronic CLI, by 4 weekly APAP administrations. Pristine C60 fullerene aqueous colloid solution (C60FAS; initial concentration 0.15 mg/mL) was administered per os or intraperitoneally at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg (ALI) or 0.25 mg/kg (CLI) daily for 2 or 28 days, respectively, after first APAP dose. Animals were sacrificed at 24th hour after the last dose. Biochemical markers of blood serum and liver autopsies were analyzed. EGFR expression in HepG2 cells after 48-hour incubation with C60FAS was assessed. Results: Increase of serum conjugated and unconjugated bilirubin (up to 1.4-3.7 times), ALT (by 31-37%), and AST (by 18%) in non-treated ALI and CLI rats were observed, suggesting the hepatitis (confirmed by histological analysis). Liver morphological state (ALI, CLI), ALT (ALI and CLI), bilirubin (CLI), α-amylase, and creatinine (ALI) were normalized with C60FAS administration in both ways, which may indicate its protective impact on liver. However, unconjugated bilirubin sharply increased in ALI animals receiving C60FAS (up to 12 times compared to control), suggesting the augmentation of bilirubin metabolism. Furthermore, C60FAS inhibited EGFR expression in HepG2 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion: C60FAS could partially correct acute and chronic toxic liver injury, however, it could not normalize bilirubin metabolism after acute exposure.
Factors associated with self-reported failure of binding to release among recreational skiers: an epidemiological study
Authors: Ruedl Gerhard , Benedetto Karl-Peter , Fink Christan , Bauer Robert , Burtscher Martin
Published: November 2019

Female recreational skiers have twice the knee injury incidence of male skiers and the reported proportion of failure of binding release is considerably higher among females. It remains unclear whether this sex difference belongs only to an injury of the knee joint or also to other body parts. Therefore, a total of 1369 injured skiers (43.1% females) were interviewed on sex, age, date of last binding adjustment, skill level, risk taking behaviour and injured body part and binding release at the moment of accident.Failure of binding release was reported within 39.9% of all cases at the moment of the accident. An actual binding adjustment was significantly associated with a decreasing proportion of failure of binding release. Failure of binding release was significantly higher for females compared to males (51 vs. 32%) and for cautious compared to risky skiers (42 vs. 33%) while sexes did not differ regarding the date of the last binding adjustment. Regarding knee injuries, female skiers showed a higher proportion of failure of binding release compared to male skiers (61 vs. 46%) with an OR of 1.8 (95% CI, 1.2-2.8).  In conclusion, failure of binding release was significantly more frequent in females compared to males, irrespective of the injured body part although sexes did not differ with regard to the date of the last binding adjustment.
Innate Talent in Sport: Beware of an organismic asymmetry – comment on Baker & Wattie
Authors: Davids Keith , Araújo Duarte
Published: November 2019

Of fundamental, theoretical and practical, relevance to sport science is the conceptualisation of talent, skill and expertise. Revisiting the question of innate talent is timely, given current pressure on young children selected to specialise in sport at an early age. Here, we re-iterate the conceptualisation of talent, skill and expertise in sport as an increasingly functional relationship between an athlete and a specific performance environment, developed over the macro-timescale of years and decades. This ecological dynamics rationale avoids an organismic asymmetry, the bias towards explanations of human behaviour which over-emphasise the role of inherent properties and qualities, identifiable through early selection. An ecological dynamics rationale, eschewing the organismic asymmetry of innate talent, in favour of exploiting and developing individual functionality in specific performance environments, challenges coaches and sport scientists to collaborate in new models for developing talent, skill and expertise.

Published: November 2019

Objectives: Chlamydia trachomatis is globally reported as a pathogenic infection and is the most common bacterial cause of sexually transmitted infection (STI) in most countries. In addition, chlamydial cervicitis and the adverse complications of the first line treatment, namely, azithromycin failure are highly prevalent. Thus, the present study will be conducted to determine and compare the effects of single-dose azithromycin and its combination with moxifloxacin based on syndromic and etiologic methods in the diagnosis and treatment of chlamydial cervicitis. Materials and Methods: This is a study protocol for a randomized clinical trial which will be performed at the Women’s Clinics and Health Centers in Amol, Iran during 2018. Further, the study will evaluate women with cervicitis complaints, who have a proven case of chlamydial cervicitis through syndromic or etiologic diagnostic methods and meet the inclusion criteria for the study population. Discussion: To the best of our knowledge, this trial will be the first study to explore the effects of single-dose azithromycin in combination with moxifloxacin in the treatment of chlamydial cervicitis. The results of this trial will further reveal the diagnostic value of syndromic and etiologic methods in the diagnosis of chlamydial cervicitis.

Authors: Amor Houda , Nyaz Shelko , Eid Hammadeh Mohamad
Published: November 2019

Objectives: The present study focused on tobacco smoke and its effect on semen parameters, sperm DNA quality (compaction and fragmentation) and clinical outcomes after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) therapy Materials and Methods: The semen samples were divided according to smoking status into the following 2 groups, 98 heavy-smokers (G1) and 43 non-smokers (G2). Semen was prepared and purified using the PureSperm gradients according to the WHO guidelines 2010. Protamine deficiency (CMA3 positivity) was assessed by chromomycin CMA3 staining and sperm DNA fragmentation (sDF) by TUNEL assay. Results: The mean concentration and the total motility were significantly higher in G2 in comparison to G1 (P=0.014, and P=0.026 respectively) and the results were similar for the mean percent of the progressive motility and normal morphology (P=0.0001). CMA3+ and sDF in G2 were significantly lower in comparison to G1 (20.35 ± 13.34% vs. 33.30 ± 22.33%, P=0.001; 14.23 ± 13.07% vs. 26.68 ± 19.77%, P=0.0001). Meanwhile, there were no significant differences in the ICSI outcomes, except for the pregnancy rate, which was significantly higher in G2 than in G1 (0.60 ± 0.49% vs. 0.38 ± 0.48%; P=0.013). In G1, CMA3+ correlated negatively with sperm concentration (r=-0.233, P=0.021) but positively with sDF (r=0.484, P=0.0001). In G2, sDF correlated negatively with progressive motility and morphologically normal spermatozoa (r=-0.304, p=0.047; r=-0.361, P=0.017 respectively). Conclusions: The findings of this study revealed that tobacco smoking altered sperm parameters and later affected the pregnancy results in ICSI therapy. CMA3 and TUNEL tests are therefore useful as a supplementary test before any ART treatment to ensure a good prognosis.
Relationship Between Placental Calcification and Estimated Fetal Weight Percentile at 30-34 Weeks of Pregnancy
Authors: Barati Mojgan , Masihi Sara , Barahimi Elnaz , Khorrami Mohammad Ali
Published: November 2019

Objectives: The identification of at-risk fetus is considered as one of the most difficult challenges for clinicians and researchers although the clinical significance of placental calcifications (PCs) and its relation to adverse pregnancy outcome are controversial. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the relationship between PC and estimated fetal weight (EFW) percentile at 30-34 weeks of pregnancy. Materials and Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study was carried out on all pregnant women except for multiple pregnancy subjects who were admitted to an outpatient perinatal center from October 2016 to September 2018. Several parameters were measured at 30-34 weeks of pregnancy, including EFW, umbilical artery pulsatility index (PI), middle cerebral artery PI, cerebroplacental ratio (CPR), right and left uterine artery PI, along with right and left uterine artery notch. Finally, the calcification of the placenta with any shape and degree was determined as well. Results: In this study, 739 pregnant women were evaluated for PC, including patients with PC (9.87%), small-for-gestational age (SGA, 3.65%), and those with at least one abnormal Doppler index (23.95%). Patients with PC and those with at least one abnormal Doppler index had significantly higher SGA (29.62% and 12.42%, respectively). In addition, there were 55.55% and 30.13% patients with SGA and PC in the group with at least one abnormality in terms of Doppler indices. Conclusions: In general, the findings showed that PC is more common in SGA. Based on the results, at least one abnormality in Doppler indices was more common in PC and SGA, and uterine artery Doppler abnormality was the most prevalent abnormal findings in the arterial Doppler. Thus, PC may be an important marker for adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Comparison of Hemodynamic Changes Due to Endotracheal Intubation With Labetalol and Remifentanil in Severe Preeclamptic Patients Undergoing Cesarean Delivery With General Anesthesia
Authors: Rasooli Susan , Moslemi Farnaz , Ari Reyhaneh , Vazife Shenas Hale , Shokoohi Majid
Published: November 2019

Objectives: Stress replication to laryngoscopy and intubation are exaggerated in the patient with severe preeclampsia and this stress can lead to an increased risk of maternal mortality and morbidity. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacies of remifentanil and labetalol in attenuating these responses in women with violent preeclampsia undergoing cesarean section (C-section) with general anesthesia. Methods: In this double-blind study, 70 women with violent preeclampsia undergoing cesarean delivery were randomly assigned to two groups to receive either remifentanil 1 µg/kg or labetalol 0.25 mg/kg before the induction of anesthesia. Then, blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) were measured before and 1, 3, and 5 minutes after the intubation. The first and 5th-minute Apgar scores were evaluated as well. Results: All hemodynamic variables decreased in both groups after the administration of remifentanil or labetalol. Labetalol significantly attenuated the rise in BP and HR during laryngoscopy and intubation compared to remifentanil (P<0.001). Eventually, no significant difference was found between the Apgar scores of the two groups (P=0.97 and P=0.19, respectively). Conclusion: Overall, the administration of labetalol before the inspiration of anesthesia can control stress replication to laryngoscopy and shows better intubation and more stability than remifentanil in patients with severe preeclampsia undergoing C-section.
Perinatal protein restriction with postnatal catch-up growth leads to elevated p66Shc and mitochondrial dysfunction in the adult rat liver
Authors: Oke Shelby L , Sohi Gurjeev , Hardy Daniel B
Published: November 2019

Epidemiological data suggest an inverse relationship between birth weight and long-term metabolic deficits, which is exacerbated by postnatal catch-up growth. We have previously demonstrated that rat offspring subject to maternal protein restriction (MPR) followed by catch-up growth exhibit impaired hepatic function and ER stress. Given that mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with various metabolic pathologies, we hypothesized that altered expression of p66Shc, a gatekeeper of oxidative stress and mitochondrial function, contributes to the hepatic defects observed in MPR offspring. To test this hypothesis, pregnant Wistar rats were fed a control (20% protein) diet or an isocaloric low protein (8%; LP) diet throughout gestation. Offspring born to control dams received a control diet in postnatal life, while MPR offspring remained on a LP diet (LP1) or received a control diet post weaning (LP2) or at birth (LP3). At four months, LP2 offspring exhibited increased protein abundance of both p66Shc and the cis-trans isomerase PIN1. This was further associated with aberrant markers of oxidative stress (i.e. elevated 4-HNE, SOD1 and SOD2, decreased catalase) and aerobic metabolism (i.e., increased phospho-PDH and LDHa, decreased complex II, citrate synthase and TFAM). We further demonstrated that tunicamycin-induced ER stress in HepG2 cells led to increased p66Shc protein abundance, suggesting that ER stress may underlie the programmed effects observed in vivo. In summary, because these defects are exclusive to adult LP2 offspring, it is possible that a low protein diet during perinatal life, a period of liver plasticity, followed by catch-up growth is detrimental to long-term mitochondrial function.
El escándalo de La Celestina: magia y acumulación primitiva en la España del holocausto (1486-1507)
Authors: Pueyo Zoco Víctor M.
Published: November 2019

Este artículo examina el estado de la cuestión sobre la magia y la brujería en La Celestina. Lo hace centrándose en un muy sintomático silencio: el silencio alrededor de la intervención seminal de Silvia Federici sobre el asunto en su ya clásico Calibán y la bruja, silencio que en mi opinión no desmerece el calificativo de escandaloso. Sostengo que la obra maestra de Fernando de Rojas no puede ser propiamente evaluada sin prestar completa y escrupulosa atención a los complejos procesos históricos que subyacen a las dinámicas de caza de brujas en la baja Edad Media. La caza de brujas no es un fenómeno religioso o incluso un fenómeno político, o (para ser más precisos) es un fenómeno reli­gioso y un fenómeno político solo en la medida en que participa del más amplio panorama de la acumulación primitiva durante la transición del modo de producción feudal al modo de producción capitalista. Culpando obsesivamente a la Iglesia católica y a sus aparatos represivos (i.e., la Inquisición), la crítica liberal menoscaba este simple hecho. En mi cues­tionamiento de esta tendencia hermenéutica, originalmente apadrinada por José Antonio Maravall en los sesenta y seguramente hegemónica hoy, muestro cómo La Celestina no puede entenderse sino como un testimonio nostálgico de la no tan lejana economía medie­val del procomún.
Beatas y posesión demoniaca: contramodelos femeninos e Inquisición
Authors: Moncó Beatriz
Published: November 2019

En los siglos xvi y xvii se extienden por España grupos de mujeres que resultan insólitas a ojos de la sociedad, de la doctrina y de la Inquisición. Las beatas viven solas, sin obediencia a padres y maridos, y de forma independiente. No son monjas aunque algunas llevan hábito, y prometen castidad aunque no realizan votos. Son muestra clara de una nueva espiritualidad que las hace sospechosas, como mujeres y como católicas. Muchas de ellas encuentran en la posesión demoniaca un camino de perfección.
Recogimientos femeninos en la Nueva España y su papel como cárceles para mujeres marginadas
Authors: Ann Rice Robin
Published: November 2019

El propósito de este trabajo es examinar el papel de los recogimientos en la Nueva España como cárceles femeninas, en los siglos xvii y xviii. Por medio de la inspección y el análisis de tres casos de mujeres aprisionadas, dos en el recogimiento de Santa María Magdalena de Puebla y una en Santa María Magdalena de la Ciudad de México, se demuestran la persecución y la condena de mujeres por nimiedades sin distinción entre actos pecaminosos y actos delictuosos. Hubo una confusión entre la justicia secular y la eclesiástica que provocó el olvido de estas personas por años en el encierro.
De duendes enamorados. Tratamiento tradicional de un motivo en un caso recogido por el Santo Oficio novohispano
Authors: Carranza Claudia
Published: November 2019

Este artículo repasa la presencia de motivos tradicionales en torno a los duendes, existentes en una autodenuncia realizada en la ciudad de Guatemala en el siglo xviii. El relato encontrado en una carta dirigida a la Inquisición muestra también la situación de opresión de una mujer mulata en su sociedad, pero también la influencia de un imaginario mágico que fue, por otro lado, bastante recurrente y socorrido entonces y en los siglos anteriores y que sin duda se mantiene hasta nuestra época. Este caso también, según ve­remos, puede tener cierto grado de picardía y erotismo implícitos, acordes ambos con las descripciones en torno a estos seres sobrenaturales.
Mujer y magia amorosa en Zacatecas durante el siglo xviii
Authors: Rodríguez Castañón Graciela
Published: November 2019

Las consideraciones culturales acerca de los hombres y las mujeres dependen en mucho del control religioso y social que se ha ejercido en cada época. En la etapa colonial en la Nueva España el discurso de la Iglesia fue determinante en la manera en que las per­sonas construían sus relaciones, de acuerdo al estrato socioeconómico, los convenciona­lismos familiares, las normas sociales y culturales, la tradición religiosa, el medio geográ­fico; así, el amor ideal quedó supeditado a las normas sociales, a la religión y a la magia. La magia constituyó el camino heterodoxo propicio para dar salida a las preocupaciones y problemas de pareja. Fue una herramienta mediante la que se pretendió obtener por lo menos una parte del poder para manipular al antojo las relaciones sexuales, lograr casarse, sostener relaciones extramaritales, o simplemente fue el consuelo de muchas mujeres que sufrían las manifestaciones del poder del hombre a través del maltrato físico.

Quantitative and qualitative analyses with 5081 eligible pediatricians who registered to participate in the 2017 pilot; 81.4% (n = 4016) completed a quarter 4 survey and/or the end-of-year survey (January 2018) and compose the analytic sample.

RESULTS:

Nearly all (97.6%) participating pediatricians said they had learned, refreshed, or enhanced their medical knowledge, and of those, 62.0% had made a practice change related to pilot participation. Differences were noted on the basis of subspecialty status, with 68.9% of general pediatricians having made a practice change compared with 41.4% of subspecialists. Within the 1456 open-ended responses about participants’ most significant practice change, responses ranged widely, including both medical care content (eg, “care for corneal abrasions altered,” “better inform patients about. . .flu vaccine”) and nonspecific content (eg, providing better patient education, using evidence-based medicine, increased use of resources in regular practice).

CONCLUSIONS:

As a proctored examination alternative, MOCA-Peds positively influenced self-reported learning and practice change. In future evaluation of MOCA-Peds and other medical longitudinal assessments, researchers should study ways to further encourage learning and practice change and sustainability.

En este trabajo se evaluó la degradación fotocatalítica del herbicida glifosato en solución acuosa con un catalizador comercial (TiO2 Degussa P25) y un catalizador sintetizado a partir de TiO2 dopado con manganeso (TiO2-Mn), soportados en anillos de borosilicato de diámetro interno y externo de 6.52 mm y 7.59 mm, respectivamente y una longitud aproximada de 9.43 mm, mediante el uso de un reactor continúo de lecho empacado. El catalizador sintetizado fue por  FTIR, SEM-EDS y AFM, permitiendo determinar algunas características físicas y químicas. Las condiciones de operación del reactor fueron un caudal de alimentación de 4.25 mL min-1 de una solución de glifosato de pH natural de 4.45 y un tiempo de retención de 1 h y 25 minutos; en el cual se llevaron a cabo ensayos de fotocatálisis heterogénea, fotólisis y adsorción por un tiempo de 150 minutos, obteniendo como resultados los porcentajes de remoción y el orden de la reacción fotocatalítica para el catalizador soportado en los anillos. A partir de los estudios de degradación realizados, se logró un porcentaje máximo de degradación con el TiO2-Mn soportado en los anillos del 39.19%, comparado con el catalizador comercial TiO2 Degussa P25, con el cual se alcanzó un 28.6% de remoción. El modelo de reacción que sigue la degradación del glifosato es de pseudo-segundo orden debido a los procesos de difusión intrapartícula, en los que la molécula de glifosato es adsorbida en los poros del catalizador para luego ser degradada.

Route 37 links the New Jersey (USA) mainland to beach communities in Seaside Heights and is an emergency evacuation route. Carrying three lanes of traffic in each direction, the adjacent bridges are approximately 4900 ft (1490 m) long. Following the devastation of Superstorm Sandy in 2012, a special underwater inspection revealed severe scour damage at 23 piers, necessitating emergency scour countermeasures. The worst location suffered 15 ft (4·6 m) of local scour with 10 ft (3 m) of timber pile exposure. A fast-track inspection, analysis and design, expedited client responses, continuous coordination and excellent team cooperation achieved timely repairs to the worst-affected locations, while keeping the bridges open for much-needed access to the barrier island for storm recovery efforts. Emergency repairs included installation of grout-filled fabric formed bags installed in situ around the pile caps as formwork and filling voids beneath the caps with grout. Precast solid armouring blocks were then installed around the toe of the grout bags. These repairs preserved not only the most severely undermined piers, but also provided a resilient, long-term repair. Recent underwater inspections verified the effectiveness of the repairs, which have encouraged material deposition and replenished the natural bay bottom.

Published: November 2019

Introduction. In the literature the issue of indications for surgical treatment of CPC (congenital pseudoarthrosis of the clavicle) is exposed to discussion. Also, there are no accurate age indications for surgery. The conducted research has shown that the course of CPC is accompanied by clavicle shortening as well as by bone fragments deformation in 60% of the cases, which has a significant effect on the planning of surgery.
Purpose of study: to develop a differentiated approach to the treatment of congenital pseudoarthrosis of the clavicle in children, taking into account the clinical and radiological picture.
Patients and methods. 27 patients with the congenital pseudoarthrosis of the clavicle (CPC) aged from 4 up to 16 years old were operated. In 6 observations bone fragments deformation of the clavicle was absent, and in 21 observations various deformations occurred. The surgery included restoration of clavicle axis, replacement of bone tissue defect with bone autograft, fixation of bone fragments with a needle.
Results. After the first surgery, bone fragments consolidation of the false joint was reached in 82% of the cases (22 patients); the recurrence of the false joint was observed in 18% (5 patients). Repeated surgeries were successfully performed on four of them; one patient is being observed on an outpatient basis.
Conclusion. The results of the surgical treatment have shown that for the union of a false joint it is necessary to use differentiated approach to the adoption of surgical technique with regard to bone fragments deformation. Partially eliminated deformation and clavicle sternal bone fragment high standing served as the main reason for the recurrence of pseudoarthrosis.

The Suspension and Setting Aside of Delinquency and Probation Orders under the Companies Act 71 of 2008
Authors: Cassim Rehana
Published: November 2019

A significant innovation of the Companies Act 71 of 2008 is contained in section 162. This provision empowers a court to declare a director delinquent or under probation on various grounds. The effect of a delinquency order is that a person is disqualified from being a director of a company, while being placed under probation means that he or she may not serve as a director except to the extent permitted by the order. A delinquency order may be unconditional and subsist for the director's lifetime, or it may be conditional and be effective for seven years or longer, as determined by the court. A probation order generally subsists for a period not exceeding five years, and may be subject to such conditions as the court considers appropriate. The harsh effects of these orders are alleviated by section 162(11) of the Companies Act. Under this provision, a delinquent director may apply to court after three years have elapsed, to suspend the delinquency order and to substitute it with a probation order, with or without conditions. A person who was placed under a probation order may apply to court after two years for the probation order to be set aside. This article examines the procedure under section 162(11) of the Companies Act for the suspension and setting aside of delinquency and probation orders. The factors that a court must take into account in exercising its discretion whether or not to grant the application, as set out in section 162(12) of the Companies Act, are also examined. This article draws on relevant jurisprudence as decided on the equivalent provisions in the corporate legislation in the United Kingdom and Australia. The method of interpretation used in these jurisdictions provides useful guidance on how best to apply and interpret sections 162(11) and (12) of the Companies Act. Recommendations are made regarding the proper approach to interpreting, applying and enhancing sections 162(11) and (12) of the Companies Act.
