A linear nonlocal problem with a parameter for partial integrodifferential equations of hyperbolic type is considered. This problem is investigated by the Dzhumabaev parameterization method. We offer an algorithm for solving nonlocal problems with parameter for partial integrodifferential equations of hyperbolic type. First,the original problem is reduceto an equivalent problem consisting a family of bound-ary value problems for ordinary integro-differential equations with parameters and integral relations. Then, we reduced the family of boundary value problems for ordinary integro-differential equations with parame-tersto a family of special Cauchy problems for ordinary integro-differential equations with parameters in subdomains and functional relations. At fixed values of parameters the family of special Cauchy problems for ordinary integro-differential equations in subdomains has a unique solution. A system of linear function-al equations with respect to parameters is compiled. We propose an algorithm for finding an approximate solution to the equivalent problem. This algorithm includes the approximate solution of the family of Cauchy problems for ordinary differential equations and solving the linear system of functional equations.

Published: February 2022

Aims:

The relationship between prosthetic position and range of motion (ROM) after total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been rigorously examined. However, the effects of limb lengthening on postoperative hip ROM remain unclarified. We aimed to examine the effect of limb lengthening on hip ROM after THA.

Methods:

We retrospectively reviewed the data from 120 patients who underwent unilateral THA. Univariate and multivariate regression models were used to evaluate the effects of the following patient- and surgery-related covariates on hip flexion ROM at 3, 6, and 12 months after THA: age, sex, body mass index, diagnosis, preoperative University of California Los Angeles activity score, preoperative Oxford Hip Score, preoperative flexion ROM, amount of leg lengthening, cup inclination, and cup anteversion.

Results:

A large preoperative hip flexion ROM was the strongest predictor of a large hip flexion ROM at 12 months after THA (standardized coefficient: 0.519, P < 0.0001). A larger amount of leg lengthening was associated with a smaller postoperative hip flexion ROM (standardized coefficient: −0.159, P = 0.039), and male sex was another predictor of a smaller postoperative hip flexion ROM (standardized coefficient: −0.204, P = 0.014). Cup inclination (P = 0.99) and anteversion (P = 0.18) were not significantly associated with hip flexion ROM at 12 months after THA.

Discussion:

A large amount of limb lengthening was associated with decreased hip flexion ROM after THA. In THA, minimizing the leg length discrepancy is important; however, the postoperative improvement in hip flexion ROM may be limited when a large amount of leg lengthening is needed.

La prestación de funciones sindicales a los sindicatos, por personas afiliadas y no afiliadas, puede encauzarse a través del contrato de trabajo, si concurren sus elementos estructurales definitorios, entre ellos la dependencia. La elección de un trabajador "sindicalista" para un cargo orgánico del sindicato empleador no altera la calificación del vínculo laboral en cuya virtud se prestan tareas sindicales, siempre que en el ejercicio del cargo se sigan cumpliendo los presupuestos del contrato de trabajo, causa de la actividad laboral del trabajador.

El trabajador puede instar la extinción indemnizada del contrato de trabajo por incumplimiento contractual grave del empresario; por ejemplo, cuando el empresario adopta una modificación sustancial de condiciones de trabajo sin cumplir lo dispuesto en el artículo 41 del ET y con menoscabo de su dignidad [artículo 50.1.a) ET]. El artículo 50.1 del ET conforma un numerus apertus (lista abierta) de incumplimientos empresariales graves que justifican la extinción indemnizada del contrato de trabajo por voluntad del trabajador.
Le salarié peut demander la résiliation judiciaire du contrat de travail lorsque l'employeur commet une faute qui est considerée comme grave. Par exemple, quand l'employeur a modifié un élément essentiel du contrat de travail sans satisfaire aux exigences de l'article 41 du texte refondu de la Loi espagnole sur le Statut des Travailleurs (ET), en attentant à sa dignité. Il est important de souligner que l'article 50.1 du ET prévoit un numerus apertus des manquements graves de l'employeur à ses obligations contractuelles et légales.
El descanso diario mínimo de 11 horas en cada periodo de 24 horas al que obliga el Derecho de la UE es por trabajador y no por contrato de trabajo cuando se celebran varios contratos con el mismo empresario: ¿conclusión extrapolable si los contratos se celebran con empresarios distintos o se trabaja simultáneamente como autónomo?

PENGARUH TAGAR #2019GANTIPRESIDEN TERHADAP PARTISIPASI POLITIK MILENIAL
Authors: Iqbal Themi  , Perdana Aditya
Published: February 2022

Abstrak: Evolusi perkembang internet dan munculnya media baru (Media Sosial) mempengaruhi banyak peristiwa politik, yang paling sering disoroti adalah terkait pengaruh penggunaan media sosial terhadap partisipasi politik. Namun sejauh ini literatur yang ada hanya menunjukan pengaruh langsung antara penggunaan media sosial  dan partisipasi politik tanpa proses mekanisme psikologis yang terjadi. Selain itu, fenomena tagar di Indonesia juga kurang mendapat perhatian para ilmuwan padahal tagar sebagai bagian dari konsep viralitas memiliki kemampuan penyebaran informasi dalam skala besar dan cepat bahkan dalam beberapa kasus mempengaruhi gerakan sosial. Oleh karena itu, artikel ini berupaya untuk menguji pengaruh konten tagar #2019GantiPresiden terhadap partisipasi politik online dan offline (low/high) dengan menggunakan Model Partisipasi Politik Media Sosial (SMPPM). Adapun metode yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data berdasarkan kuisioner dan teknik analisa regresi linier sederhana. Hasilnya (1) pengaruh tagar #2019GantiPresiden terhadap partisipasi online (low/high) lebih besar dibanding terhadap partisipasi offline (low/high), (2) konten tagar #2019GantiPresiden tidak memiliki tujuan partisipatif dan dan tidak lebih dominan dibanding tujuan individu sekalipun mereka sepakat dengan tagar tersebut, sehingga (3) tidak dapat meningkatkan rata-rata responden yang pernah melakukan partisipasi online/offline (low) menuju partisipasi online/offline (high).

Published: February 2022

This is a quasiexperimental research which objectives are to study efficiency of intra-articular analgesic injection and compare efficiency for pain relief between intra-articular analgesic injection and femoral nerve block in total knee arthroplasty at Somdech Phrapinklao hospital. 40 patients with operated total knee arthroplasty, randomised to 2 groups (20 patients). Control group received femoral nerve block, another group received intra-articular injection. Both groups receive spinal morphine nerve block, operated by same surgeon, same surgical technique and same kind of implant. After surgery all patients record VAS score at 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 hours, doses of injection and oral analgesic drug, degree of knee flexion and hospital stay. Statistics used percentage, mean, standard deviation and independent t-test. We found patients received intra-articular analgesic injection had lower VAS pain score, lower dose analgesic drug than patients who received femoral nerve block and more knee flexion postoperatively in statistic significantly. And both Intra-articular analgesic injection and femoral nerve block can decrease VAS pain score, decrease dose analgesic drug postoperatively and improved knee flexion suitable for guideline pain relief in total knee arthroplasty

To evaluate the visual function improvement for treatment of indirect traumatic optic neuropathy Study design was comparative historical controlled trial. Seven patients newly diagnosed with indirect traumatic optic neuropathy Study design was comparative historical controlled trial. Seven newly diagnosed with indirect traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) were enrolled for progesterone group. Nineteen indirect Ton patients were reviewed medical records for steroid group (N= 12) and observation group (N= 7). Patients in progesterone group were given Depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) 1 mg/kg. intramuscular injection every 12 hrs. for 5 days and observed for side effects. All patients were examined and reviewed for visual acuity by ETDRS chart, color vision test by Ishihara test, visual field testing by Humphrey automated perimetry, fundus and optic disc examination at baseline, follow-up 1 week, 1 month and 3 months. Demographic and clinical characteristic of patients in 3 groups were not different in terms of age, sex, underlying disease, side of eye, type of injury, baseline visual acuity, associated orbital fracture, history of amnesia, time to visit hospital and time to start treatment. Improvement in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) compared at 3 months from baseline showed no difference between 3 groups (p= 0.891). Analysis within steroid group showed statistically significant improvement of BCVA at 1 and 3 months (p= 0.015, 0.028 respectively). No improvement was shown in color vision and visual field in progesterone group. Only better baseline BCVA was the protective factor for better visual outcome (p= 0.027, Odds ratio = 0.004, 95%CI = 0.000 - 0.537). No side effects of progesterone were found in this study. Progesterone is a safe and promising neuroprotective agent that could be adjunctive or alternative to steroid in case of contraindication to corticosteroid treatment. This study showed no difference among choices of treatment therefor study in larger population is required. Steroid remains an effective option contrast with recent studies.

Published: February 2022

Increasing numbers of hip and knee arthroplasty may associate with higher risk of complications such as venous thromboembolism. Most of Thai orthopedic surgeons ignore thromboprophylaxis because of less symptomatic VTE in Asian population. The Thai consensus on venous thromboembolism in hip and knee surgery consist of twenty-four common questions about VTE including their supported literatures. The gold standard of diagnosis is contrast venography although the duplex ultrasound has more role in postoperative patients. Thai patients undergoing hip and knee surgery seem to have lower prevalence of VTE than Caucasian. However, mechanical or chemoprophylaxis should be considered especially in the high risk group and hip fracture in elderly.
ROTATIONAL MISMATCH OF SELF-ALIGN TIBIAL COMPONENT IN POSTERIOR-STABILIZED (PS) TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY
Authors: Khuangsirikul Saradej , Choowong Montri , Trakulngernthai Songpol , Chotanaphuti Thanainit
Published: February 2022

Background: Rotational alignment of femoral and tibial prosthesis is one of the important factors for outcomes of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Rotational malalignment may lead to patellar maltracking, anterior knee pain, femoro-tibial flexion instability and premature wear of the polyethylene inlay. Several studies have demonstrated higher revision rates and less favorable clinical results among patients with rotational malalignment. The transepicondylar axis is widely accepted as the best representation of the functional flexion-extension axis of the knee. On the other hand, no comparable agreement exists for tibial rotational alignment Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the accurate rotational alignment of components by posterior cruciate lignment substituting TKA using the center-post self-align technique. Method: From January 2007 to May 2009, 54 patients (60 knees) underwent the cemented, posterior ligament substituting TKA using the center-post self-align technique of the tibial component and performed computer tomography postoperatively. The rotational angle between the femoral and tibial components and the rotational variance from the transepicondylar axis were measured. Results: The rotational alignment of femoral components were 90% in the neutral group: 48.3% external rotate (mean 1.15 , range 0.1 – 4.9), 48.3% internal rotate (mean 1.53 , range 0.2 -3.8) and 3.4% were in neutral alignment. The rotation alignment of tibial components were 71.7% in the neutral group: 41.2% external rotate (mean 2.03 , range 0.2 -6.7), 56.7% internal rotate (mean 2.59 , range 0.3 -6.7) and 1.67% had neutral alignment. We found no rotational mismatch between femoral and tibial components in this study. All 60 knees had good patellar tracking by no thumb test technique without lateral released procedure. Conclusion: Femoral component rotations were mostly in the safe zone. Using the center-post self-align technique in posterior cruciate ligament substiting TKA, tibial component rotation was much more varied than the femur. However, all tibial component rotations were in between medial most and medial 1/3 of the tibial tuberble

Published: February 2022

Turnover rate of nurses in Thailand has been increasing due to excessive workload, stressful nature of the work and lack of psychological support. Therefore, the researcher has developed interventions to promote positive psychological strengths to improve retention rates among nurses. The purposes of this study were to examine retention of nurses and the effect of the program to develop positive psychological capital among professional nurses. The samples were randomly divided in two groups: experimental and control groups, consisting of 20 nurses each group. The experimental group received the program, including 16-hour class lectures, counseling and activities designed to reinforce the 5 elements of positive psychological capital: self-efficacy, hope, optimism, resilience and hardiness, while the control group did not. The study found that retention intention of nurses in the experimental group was greater than that of the control group with statistical significance

Authors: Saisa-ard Jingjo , Supasyndh Ouppatham , Satirapoj Bancha
Published: February 2022

Background: Anemia commonly occurs among patients with advanced stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) and has been associated with poor clinical outcomes. The role of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors in aggravating the anemia of patients with CKD is controversial. Objective: To evaluate the effect of ACE inhibitors on hemoglobin levels among patients with advanced CKD. Method: Twenty-two patients with CKD stages IV or V and presenting stable hemoglobin levels over 12 weeks were randomly assigned either to receive enalapril (N=10) or amlodipine (N=12) among those whose blood pressure was controlled with antihypertensives other than ACE inhibitors. Hemoglobin level was monitored at 8 and 16 weeks after treatment. Results: Clinical characteristics were similar at baseline between the enalapril and amlodipine-treated groups, and no difference was observed in blood pressure control during follow-up. Enalapril exhibited no significant change in hemoglobin levels from 11.1 (IQR 11.1 to 11.5) g/dL at baseline to 11.4 (IQR 10 to 12) g/dL at 8 weeks and 10.7 (IQR 9.9 to 11.8) g/dL at 16 weeks of treatment. Hemoglobin levels during the 16-week follow-up declined on average by -0.3 (IQR -0.9 to 0.4) g/dL per 16 weeks in the enalapril group and by -0.1 (IQR-0.7 to 0.4) per 16 weeks in the amlodipine group (P=0.868). Conclusion: Administration of ACE inhibitors on blood pressure control was not associated with declining hemoglobin levels among patients with advanced CKD. Additional studies are necessary to confirm this result.
Organizational Citizenship Behavior and Corporate Social Responsibility: Evidence from Taiwan Listed Electronics Firms
Authors: Shih Hsien-Ming , Chen Bryan H. , Chen Mei-Hua , Wang Ching-Hsin
Published: February 2022

As enterprises expand, they have increasingly consumed social resources and influenced the society. The public has gradually become aware of this, and consequently, enterprises have begun to emphasize corporate social responsibility as a core business strategy. The interviewees/participants in the study were listed electronics companies in central Taiwan. Questionnaires were used in the study to collect data. A total of 211 valid questionnaires were collected and IBM SPSS 20 was used to analyze the data. The result of the study shows that interviewees participants doubt whether their companies fairly assess their performance or not; however, they consider that their companies take the responsibility of complying with the law and maximizing profits. As a result, medium or large enterprises, or listed electronics companies that intend to fulfill corporate social responsibility, should invite supervisors, senior employees, or female employees and those who do not typically participate in decision making or regular meetings (e.g., employees who work on production lines, or those who are not supervisors or do not work in marketing) to participate in meetings, and provide them training, or distribute manuals or send letters to them. This can enhance organizational citizens’ identification with their company, motivate them to help their companies fulfill corporate social responsibility and thereby improve corporate image, enhance employees’ commitment and awareness of organizational citizenship, and create an improved organizational climate.
Σε Αναζήτηση Ηθικής: Ο κατακερματισμός της παγιωμένης σχέσης μεταξύ ηθικής και οικονομίας από το σύγχρονο νεοκλασικό μοντέλο οικονομικών
Authors: Παπαδόπουλος Γιάννης
Published: February 2022

Σε αυτό το άρθρο εξετάζουμε την εξέλιξη της σχέσης μεταξύ ηθικής και οικονομίας. Κυρίως μετά την οικονομική κρίση του 2008, πολλοί οικονομολόγοι, μελετητές και οι φοιτητές ένιωσαν την ανάγκη να βρουν απαντήσεις έξω από την κυρίαρχη οικονομική σκέψη. Μερικές από αυτές τις απαντήσεις έχουν δοθεί, από τη γέννηση της οικονομίας ως ανεξάρτητου τομέα, από την ηθική φιλοσοφία. Ωστόσο, από τη μαθηματικοποίηση της οικονομίας και την απομάκρυνση από το πεδίο της πολιτικής οικονομίας, που κάποτε εμπεριείχε οικονομία, φιλοσοφία, ιστορία και πολιτικές επιστήμες, η ηθική φιλοσοφία έχασε το ρόλο της εντός των οικονομικών συζητήσεων. Τρεις είναι οι κύριες θεωρίες της ηθικής. Ο ωφελιμισμός, η ηθική βασισμένη σε κανόνες και η ηθική των αρετών. Το νεοκλασικό οικονομικό μοντέλο πράγματι επέλεξε τη πρώτη εκ των τριών ώστε να αιτιολογήσει την υπόσταση του, ωστόσο αμέλησε —σκόπιμα ή μη— να συμπεριλάβει τις άλλες δυο. Ο ωφελιμισμός μεταφράστηκε σε ανάλυση κόστους οφέλους, η οποία ταιριάζει στη θεωρία του «homo economicus» και του εγωιστικής αποτύπωσης του ανθρώπινου είδους και ενώ ο σύγχρονος καπιταλισμός αναγνωρίζει τον Άνταμ Σμιθ ως πατέρα του, δεν φαίνεται να αναγνωρίζει ή να θυμάται όχι μόνο τους υπόλοιπους σπουδαίους διανοητές της περιόδου του Σκωτικού Διαφωτισμού, αλλά και την Θεωρία των Ηθικών Συναισθημάτων του Σμιθ. Συμπερασματικά, εάν η ηθική οφείλει να παίξει κάποιο ρόλο στη διαμόρφωση μιας μετακαπιταλιστικής οικονομικής θεωρίας, και να την βοηθήσει να ξεφύγει από την αέναη και άσκοπη προσπάθεια δημιουργίας μιας Wertfreiheit, η μονοδιάστατη επιλογή και ερμηνεία της ηθικής από οικονομολόγους δεν μπορεί να οδηγήσει σε ορθά συμπεράσματα αναφορικά με τη διαδικασία λήψης αποφάσεων.
Participatory Planning
Authors: Hahnel Robin
Published: February 2022

The Centre for Postcapitalist Civilisation presents Professor Robin Hahnel’s mέta Working Paper entitled Participatory Planning (accessible here), part of the “Towards (a Better) Postcapitalism: A Handy How-To Guide” series under “Allocation.” mέta Working Papers’ series “Towards (a Better) Postcapitalism: A Handy How-To Guide” publishes solicited policy papers on aspects of how would a non-dystopian postcapitalism look like. The series focuses on three ‘pillars’: Production | Allocation | Decision-making i.e., how could/would postcapitalist production be like (and who would own the means of production), what shape would the allocation of goods take (and which alternatives to the market economy may be explored), and what would be the main tenets of postcapitalist democracy. In this paper, Professor Robin Hahnel addresses the second pillar, ‘allocation’, as participatory planning.

Smartphone photography for smart assessment
of post-surgical wounds – an experience during
the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Salati Sajad Ahmad
Published: February 2022

Objective: This study was undertaken with an aim to assess the feasibility of substitution of real-life clinical follow up with a review of smartphone captured digital photographs of post-surgical wounds by a clinician to assess wound healing.
Method:
The postoperative patients who understood the objectives got enrolled in the prospective study and were followed up. They were requested to capture the digital photographs of the wounds with the smartphones and send through WhatsApp on postoperative days 3, 5, 7, 15 and 30 or else whenever they felt need for review due to symptoms like fever, pain, redness or swelling.
Results: 24 abdominal, 2 extremity and 1 neck wounds were followed up in 27 patients. 3 patients developed complications and all were detected with 100% accuracy. 81% of the patients were satisfied with this mode of postoperative wound assessment.
Conclusion: The experience shows that, in the follow up of postsurgical wounds, there is good correlation between real life clinical and remote photographic review. Incorporating photographic wound assessment into a postoperative follow-up care pathway may potentially decrease the postoperative hospital visits and decrease burden on healthcare facilities.
Application of the collagen matrix in the prevention of anastomotic leakage after gastrectomy D2 with Roux en Y anastomosis
Authors: Pawlus Jan , Lichota Jarosław , Sulikowski Tadeusz
Published: February 2022

Esophagoenteral anastomotic leaks are one of the most serious complications of gastric cancer surgeries. Leaking anastomosis has a negative impact on patient's prognosis as it translates into increased reoperation rates, direct and indirect mortality, as well as increased risk of cancer recurrence. Literature contains reports on the use of additional measures aimed at preventing anastomotic leaks. Collagen matrices with tissue adhesives used to prevent anastomotic leaks following D2 gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y anastomosis have not been described well in Polish literature. However, international reports on such use of these materials are available. Collagen matrices have been successfully applied in selected patients undergoing total or subtotal gastrectomy at the Department of General, Minimally Invasive, and Gastroenterological Surgery. We hereby present our experience in a group of 6 patients presenting with anastomotic leak risk factors.
Changes within the scope of criminal liability of healthcare professional as introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Król-Całkowska Justyna , Szymański Waldemar , Wallner Grzegorz
Published: February 2022

The COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic has markedly affected the life of people worldwide. In Poland, one of its consequences consisted in new laws being put into force to regulate the provision of healthcare services. This gave rise to much anxiety and concern within the healthcare community, particularly among the specialists in interventional medicine. Taking into account all signals received by the National Consultant, Voivodeship Consultants, as well as the Association of Polish Surgeons and the Polish Chamber of Physicians and Dentists, the new regulations negatively affect the performance of healthcare professionals, e.g. in the context of diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making or activities potentially beneficial for patients not being undertaken. The authors of the article have analyzed the regulations in force in an attempt to bring their interpretation into line with their substance and their objective, as well as to provide comprehensive answers to questions and concerns as raised by interventional surgeons.

THE PROSECUTORIAL COUNCIL ON THE EXAMPLE OF KOSOVO
Authors: Nowak Krystian
Published: February 2022

The article concerns the constitutional position of the Kosovo Prosecutorial Council in the light of the Constitution of 2 April 2008. The author discusses the composition, organization and competences of the Council of Prosecutors. It is a body with a clear anchoring in the Constitution (article 110). The solution adopted with regard to this body means that the Council has the competences concerning the appointment and promotion of prosecutors, their transfer, conducting disciplinary proceedings, as well as the powers related to the functioning of prosecutor’s offices and issuing general guidelines. The mixed composition of the Council does not disqualify it from being an independent body, particularly as the current regulations ensure that prosecutors (elected by other prosecutors) have a majority in its composition.
TELEWORKING AS AN ATYPICAL FORM OF WORK
Authors: Huras-Darkowska Agnieszka
Published: February 2022

The technology and conditions accompanying the pandemic, the corona virus introduced permanent remote work. Work is done at home. This form has ceased to be a problematic privilege, but has become a willingly used solution that brings profits to both employees and employers. The first forms of remote work were created almost half a century ago, and teleworking has become a huge breakthrough. Already during these pioneering projects, it was possible to observe the positive impact of this model of performance of duties not only on the activities of specific companies, but also on the natural environment and the functioning of cities. The world has changed beyond recognition since then. At the same time, however, teleworking itself has been reflected in the applicable regulations, and a definition of remote work cannot be found there. It should be emphasized that remote work is not the same concept as teleworking. These are completely separate models of flexible forms of employment. Unfortunately, in practice, these terms are very often used interchangeably. This is due to many aspects that are almost identical, but the differences are very large.
PERFORMING WORK OR OTHER PAID ACTIVITIES BY A CHILD IN SPORT
Authors: Matuszak Michał
Published: February 2022

The thesis of this study is based on the recognition that the current legal regulation regarding the performance of work or other paid activities by a child in modern sport is sufficient. The performance of work by children is becoming increasingly practical, because usually the condition for achieving success in senior sports at the highest level is to start training at the age of only a few years. The Labor Code introduces art. 304 [5], which allows children to perform work or other gainful activities after meeting a number of criteria contained in this legal provision. This study presents a detailed analysis of this regulation, and then transfers these considerations to the ground of modern practice in sport. The author in this study relies on many independent levels - both code regulations - labor code, civil code, family and guardianship code, internal regulations of Polish sports associations, as well as practice.
