Authors: Goyal Parmod Kumar , Gupta Monika
Published: December 2019

A case of roadside accident in which neurosurgeon preserved the skull bone flap in abdominal layers during operation but the facts not explained to family considering it to be a routine neurosurgical procedure. Autopsy surgeon was unaware of such practice and casually informed family about operation on abdomen in spite of the absence of any abdominal injuries, which created hue and cry. With great difficulty finally, the family could be satisfied about the approved procedure. The importance of communicating to the family is stressed on although everything was meticulously documented in the hospital file.

Authors: Kour Bavneet , Budhiraja Grace , Dolma Kunzes , Guram Danish
Published: December 2019

Introduction:

A deviated septum can be asymptomatic or can cause functional and cosmetic abnormalities. Different studies have been proposed for the correction of deviated septum, but septoplasty has been the treatment of choice. Septoplasty is a more conservative surgery and endoscopic septoplasty has become increasingly popular over the past few decades.

Materials and Methods:

The study was carried out to compare the post-operative results among patients of conventional and endoscopic septoplasty and to assess the efficacy of endoscopic septoplasty with other surgeries. The present study was conducted among 40 patients of deviated nasal septum admitted in the Department of Otolaryngology of Adesh Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Bathinda. Patients were selected by simple random sampling and were divided into Groups A and B, with 20 patients in each group. Group A underwent conventional septoplasty and Group B underwent endoscopic septoplasty.

Results:

The male-to-female ratio in the present study was 3:1. Deviated nasal septum was commonly associated with inferior turbinate hypertrophy (45%) and concha bullosa (27.5%). Postoperatively, a significant relief from the symptoms of nasal obstruction (85%), nasal discharge (25%), headache (30%), and postnasal drip (55%) was observed in endoscopic septoplasty. Complication rate was higher in conventional septoplasty. The endoscopic approach facilitates proper alignment by limited and precise resection of pathological areas.

Conclusion:

Endoscopic septoplasty provides precise resection of the pathological areas and better illumination with limited flap dissection and exposure.

Authors: Abdullah Zainab H. , Merza Narmin S.
Published: December 2019

Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) is an opportunistic pathogen and one of the most importnat Multidrug resistant microorganisms responsible for a vast array of nosocomial infections. 41 (6.8 %) isolates of A.  baumannii were obtained from a total of 603 clinical samples of burn and sputum during the period from March 2018 to February 2019. Twenty two isolates (3.6%) of A. baummanni were recovered from burn infections and nineteen isolates (3.2%) from sputum specimens. Identification and characterization of these isolates was accomplished by the aid of selective media (CHROM agar Acinetobacter) and was finally confirmed by VITEK 2 identification system test. Molecular identification utilizing genus and species-specific primers to detect the 16S rRNA and blaOXA-51 was also applied.  The Antibiotic resistance testing was done by the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method, 24 .4% of the isolates were Multi-Drug Resistance (MDR), while 65.9% were extensive drug resistance (XDR). All isolates  were absolutely resistant (100 %) to most of the antibiotics in use: cefixime, cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, ceftazidime, piperacillin-tazobactam, amoxicillin-tazobactam, while the resistant profile for the other antibiotics can be represented as follows 98 %, 95 %, 90 %, and 83 % For both ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin, gentamycin and meropenem, amikacin, and azithromycin and imipenem, respectively. On the other hand, levofloxacin has a moderate effect on the isolates shown by 51% resistant isolates followed by doxycycline for which 39% of the isolates were resistant. Colistin was the only antimicrobial agent that has an intense effect as the majority of the isolates were sensitive. All the selected isolates of A. baumannii were successfuly produced band corresponded to the intended genes. Accurate and early detection of such bacteria is essential for stimulates effective treatment specifically in intensive care units. Molecular techniques have been successfully applied with high specificity using 16S rRNA and blaOXA-51-like gene as a simple and reliable method to differentiate  A. baumannii strains.
Frequency of Selenomonas Noxia in Oral Microbiota of Obese and Normal Weight People in Duhok-Iraq
Authors: Qadir Roshna M. , Abdulrahman Mahde S.
Published: December 2019

Obesity represents one of the major problematic health issues worldwide. Recent evidences suggest that obesity is related with the alteration of the oral microbiome. The aim of this study was to measure the salivary bacterial Selenomonas noxia in Duhok population. A total of 155 saliva samples were collected from individuals (aged between 19-35 years) of both genders (86 females and 69 males). The individuals were divided into three groups (obese, overweight, and normal weight) based on their body mass index. Bacterial genomic DNA was extracted from saliva samples. Molecular detections of Selenomonas noxia were performed by the polymerase chain reaction. Among the 155 participants, 34.1% were obese, 26.4% overweight and 39.3% normal weight individuals. The prevalence rate of oral S. noxia among all people was 82.6%. The highest rate of S. noxia was in obese people (86.8%), followed by overweight (85.4%) and normal weight people (77%). The prevalence of S. noxia in overweight people was statistically significant in compare with the normal weight people (p<0.0001). Moreover, the oral carriage of S. noxia was highest among the overweight females (94.5%) followed by obese females (88.9%). However, no significant difference was found compared to males. The result revealed that it is possible to assume that the expansion of S. noxia in saliva is due to obesity. Moreover, the composition of salivary microbiome may lead to the risk that the overweight group is at risk of future obesity. However, further investigations are required with larger sample and participants with different socioeconomic status in order to address the exact link between obesity and oral bacteria. This could lead to a new and promising therapeutic way for improving human's health.

Bu araştırmada, oluşturulan iki farklı kaynaştırma koşulu ile 1103P ve Kober 5BB anaçlarının Alphonse Lavallée üzüm çeşidinde kallus gelişimine, yazlık tüplü fidan kalitesine ve fidan randımanına etkilerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Kaynaştırma koşullarını aşılı çeliklerin iki hafta 25°C’de kaynaştırma ortamında ve iki hafta 20°C’de su içinde bırakılması ile üç hafta 25°C’de kaynaştırma ortamında ve bir hafta su içinde 20°C’de bırakılması oluşturmuştur. Kaynaştırma aşamasında aşı yeri çepeçevre kalluslenme oranı, aşı yeri kalluslenme derecesi, katlama sonrası aşı yeri çapı ve kök sayısı üç hafta kaynaştırılanlarda daha yüksek olmuştur. Tersine olarak sürme oranı iki hafta kaynaştırılanlarda daha fazla meydana gelmiştir. 1103P’de, Kober 5BB’ye göre daha fazla kök sayısı ve kök kalluslenme derecesi elde edilmiştir. Aşı yeri çapı, kallus gelişiminin fazla olması nedeniyle üç hafta 25°C ve bir hafta 20°C koşullarında, iki hafta 25°C ve iki hafta 20°C koşullarına kıyasla daha fazla olmuştur. Fakat yazlık tüplü fidan aşamasında, kaynaştırma koşullarındaki farklılıklar fidan randımanını, sürgün uzunluğunu ve sürgün çapını etkilememiştir. Fazla kallus oluşumu olumsuz bir etkiye yol açmamıştır. Anaçlar tarafından fidan randımanı ve sürgün çapı etkilenmezken, 1103P’ne aşılılarda sürgün uzunluğu daha fazla meydana gelmiştir. Yazlık tüplü fidan randımanı dikimden 2.5 ay sonra tüm uygulamalarda %60.0-61.7 arasında değişmiştir.

Localization of Spiropyran Activation
Authors: Grady Martha , Birrenkott Cassandra , May Preston A. , White ScottR. , Moore Jeffrey S. , Sottos Nancy R.
Published: December 2019

Functionalization of planar and curved glass surfaces with spiropyran (SP) molecules and localized UV-induced activation of the mechanophore are demonstrated. Fluorescence spectra of UV-irradiated SP-functionalized surfaces reveal that increases in surface roughness or curvature produces more efficient conversion of the mechanophore to the open merocyanine (MC) form. Further, force-induced activation of the mechanophore is achieved at curved glass-polymer interfaces and not planar interfaces. Minimal fluorescence signal from UV-irradiated SP-functionalized planar glass surfaces precluded mechanical activation testing. Curved glass-polymer interfaces are prepared by SP functionalization of E-glass fibers, which are subsequently embedded in a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) matrix. Mechanical activation is induced through shear loading by a single fiber microbond testing protocol. In situ detection of SP activation at the interface is monitored by fluorescence spectroscopy.
Enzymatic Synthesis of a Fluorogenic Reporter Substrate and a High-Throughput Assay for Fucosyltransferase VIII Provide a Toolkit to Probe and Inhibit Core Fucosylation
Authors: Soroko Maxim , Kwan David
Published: December 2019

We report a straight-forward enzymatic synthesis of the 4-methylumbelliferyl glycoside of a complex-type oligosaccharide substrate for core-fucosylation. We demonstrate the use of this synthetic glycoconjugate in a newly developed enzyme assay to probe the activity and inhibition of fucosyltransferase VIII, which catalyzes the core fucosylation of N-glycans on eukaryotic glycoproteins. In this fucosyltransferase assay, we use the fluorogenic probe and a specific glycosidase in a sequential coupled enzyme reaction to distinguish an unmodified 4-methylumbelliferyl oligosaccharide probe from a fucosylated probe. Our findings show that this strategy is very sensitive and very specific in its detection of enzyme activity and can even be used for analyzing impure tissue lysate samples.
Do Foreign-Born Workers Cause Native-Born Workers to Move or Leave the Labor Force?
Authors: Pinheiro Roberto B. , Dizioli Alan
Published: December 2019

This Commentary discusses how the presence of foreign-born workers in a local labor market affects the decisions of native-born workers to leave the labor force or move to another state. We analyze short panels obtained through the Current Population Survey and find that, in the short run, less-educated native-born workers react to a larger stock of foreign-born workers by either moving to a different state or dropping out of the labor force. In terms of magnitude, the effect is small but not insignificant.
Wage Growth after the Great Recession
Authors: Pinheiro Roberto , Yang Meifeng
Published: December 2019

Nominal wage growth since the Great Recession has been sluggish. We show that the sluggishness is due mostly to weak growth in labor productivity, as well as lower-than-expected inflation. We also find that wage growth since late 2014 has actually been above what would be consistent with realized labor-productivity growth and inflation, and this trend in wages reflects an increase in labor's share of income. We show evidence that this increase in the labor share may be due to a reversal of the trend to replace labor with capital.
Measuring the True Impact of Job Loss on Future Earnings
Authors: Krolikowski Pawel M.
Published: December 2019

The effect of job displacement on future earnings losses has often been calculated by comparing the earnings of individuals who suffer a displacement at some point in their career with the earnings of those who never lose a job. I show this approach leads to an overstatement of the earnings losses following displacement and discuss an alternative that can ascertain the true effects of displacement in some instances.
Sizing Up Systemic Risk

Regulators now use a framework for identifying systemically important banking institutions that is based on five broad measures of bank structure. Though size is only one of these equally weighted measures, it seems to be the focus of most attention. This Commentary explores whether the other measures contribute unique information or whether size is all one needs to identify all the institutions whose failure could bring down the financial system.
The Opioid Epidemic and the Labor Market
Authors: Aliprantis Dionissi , Chen Anne
Published: December 2019

Drug overdoses now account for more deaths in the United States than traffic deaths or suicides, and most of the increase in overdose deaths since 2010 can be attributed to opioids--a class of drugs that includes both prescription pain relievers and illegal narcotics. We look at trends in drug use and overdose deaths to document how the opioid epidemic has evolved over time and to determine whether it could be large enough to impact the labor force.
Have Inflation Dynamics Changed?

The article presents the results of research concerning electromagnetic (EM) ﬁeld emitted by rocks during the process of their destruction. The paper describes a measuring stand designed for subjecting rock samples to axial crushing. During the destruction of rock samples, both components of the electromagnetic ﬁeld emitted by the rock were recorded. The paper presents the results of research on hard coal samples, presenting the obtained time domain waveforms and frequency spectrum of the emitted EM ﬁeld components. Further potential uses of tests concerned with EM emitted by rocks are determined. Applications registering EM ﬁeld in mine environments may provide an early mine collapse warnings.
Systematic-RLNC Based Secure and QoS Centric Routing Scheme for WSNs
Authors: Notom Ajaykumar , Mrinal Sarvagya , Parag Prandkar
Published: December 2019

In this paper a highly robust and eﬃcient systematic-random linear network coding (S-RLNC) routing scheme is proposed. Unlike classic security systems, the proposed S-RLNC transmission model incorporates an advanced pre-coding and interleaving concept followed by multigeneration mixing (MGM) based data transmission to assure secure and QoS eﬃcient communication. The proposed S-RLNC MGM based routing scheme exhibits higher throughput (99.5-100%) than the existing NCC-ARQ-WSN protocol (80%). Unlike NCC-ARQ-WSN, the proposed model incorporates multiple enhancements, such as RLNC concept, systematic network coding, MGM concept, IBF provision and redundant packet optimization. Combined, all these optimizations have strengthened the proposed S-RLNC MGM to exhibit optimum performance for secure and QoS-centric communication over WSNs.
O RETORNO DA VIOLENTA EMOÇÃO E A OFENSIVA PATRIARCALISTA AO AVANÇO DOS DIREITOS HUMANOS DAS MULHERES: O CORPO FEMININO COMO TERRITÓRIO BIOPOLÍTICO
Authors: NIELSSON JOICE GRACIELE , Wermuth Maiquel Ângelo Dezordi
Published: December 2019

O artigo analisa em que medida o “Pacote Anticrime” proposto pelo Ministério da Justiça, ao permitir a redução ou isenção de pena por excesso de legítima defesa em crimes cometidos em decorrência de “violenta emoção”, efetiva uma blindagem à violência de gênero no Brasil. Isso porque, grande parte dos assassinatos de mulheres no Brasil são cometidos justamente sob a alegação de um sentimento de “violenta emoção”. Identifica, portanto, a dimensão pública e política desta violência, e seu papel na sustentação de relações de poder patriarcalistas que controlam biopoliticamente o corpo feminino. Em sua realização utiliza o método fenomenológico-hermêutico.

Development of a Methodology and an Optimization Model for the Performance Evaluation of the Employees in the Public Economic Management and Procurement Systems: The Case Study of the Spanish Air Force
Authors: Marín Manuel A. Fernandez-Villacañas
Published: December 2019

The economic administration and procurement system of public sector structures are composed of a series of management units whose staff assigned to them needs to be optimized. In order to achieve this, the work analyzes the concept of performance evaluation presented in the Spanish Public Administration, similar to other countries of the EU and Latin America. A methodology has been designed to evaluate performance using systemic analysis and organizational behavior, taking as a case study the Spanish Air Force. Traditional performance evaluation models are based on the psycho-sociological research of workers, which are static and require a lot of management effort. Faced with these limitations, a new dynamic and interdisciplinary model has been designed and implemented to evaluate performance and measure workload that can be used with high periodicity and requires little management effort. The model in question focuses mainly on the generation of strategic intelligence through the exploitation of the databases of the economic management information system. This strategic intelligence serves to guide decision-making regarding the reallocation of jobs and personnel to identify training needs and the necessary changes in organizational culture and leadership. In general, this model allows an improvement in the effectiveness, efficiency, economy and service level of the system, and can be applied to other Spanish military organizations or those belonging to other countries of the international community as well as other structures of the public administration dedicated to economic management and procurement.

Telah banyak diteliti metode stophole untuk menghambat pertumbuhan retak pada bahan logam, namun belum ada penelitian tentang metode stophole ini untuk menghambat retak pada bahan komposit. Penelitian ini mengguankan komposit epoxy dan serat kaca dengan katalis epoxy hardener (polyaminoamide), arah serat yang digunakan adalah serat acak, lapisan komposit terdiri dari 4 lapis,  dengan komposisi 30% serat, 69.7% resin, dan 0,3% katalis digunakan. Spesimen uji menggunakan CTS sesuai standar pengujian ASTM E 647 dengan retak awal sepanjang 20 mm dengan variasi diameter lubang stophole 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, dan 5mm serta jarak lubang dan retak 5mm, 10mm, dan 15mm. Hasilnya didapatkan jarak lubang yang paling optimum yang menyebabkan tegangan tarik tertinggi terletak pada jarak 10mm dari ujung retak, dan diameter optimumnya adalah 5mm dengan kekuatan tarik maksimum 22.74 Mpa, lebih tinggi daripada kekuatan tarik maksimum tanpa stophole (13.3 Mpa). Sehingga dapat disimpulkan adanya variasi stophole mempengaruhi tegangan tarik maksimum komposit epoxi serat gelas, karena pada ujung retak dan sisi lubang terdapat pemusatan tegangan, dan juga perbedaan mode patahan.
