Authors: Galeitzke Mila , Steinhöfel Erik , Orth Ronald , Kohl Holger
Published: April 2017

The significance of intangible resources with regard to business success in general has evidently increased. This paper aims to draw conclusions on a broad empirical basis with regard to internal drivers of innovation and related differences between manufacturing and service enterprises. Measures to improve the enterprises’ innovation capability are studied on the basis of 38 intellectual capital statements. Furthermore, the data gained from a large scale survey among more than 1000 enterprises is analyzed with regard to product as well as process innovation. In subsequence, the results of both analyses are matched and compared.
New Process, Same Doubts: Participants’ Perceptions of Strategic Environmental Assessment in Western Newfoundland
Authors: Vespa Morgan , Sinclair A. John , Boerchers Morrissa , Gibson Robert
Published: April 2017

In order to learn about public participation in Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and identify opportunities for improvement of SEA, this research examined the Western Newfoundland Offshore Area SEA case in Canada. Through analysis of observation and interview data, findings reveal that participants involved recognized the shortcomings of the SEA process implemented despite being SEA neophytes. Data also showed that participants were aware that the basics of meaningful public consultation were not met. Participants recognized the need for alternative approaches and possibly an alternative name for the process in which they participated. They also indicated their dissatisfaction with the SEA, and related participation activities, noting they were left with feelings of distrust in the process and the sense that decisions were foregone. These findings undermine the credibility of SEA and erode its potential as a promising tool for enhancing policy, plans, and programs and eventually project decisions.
The Impacts of Intellectual Property Rights Protection on Cross-Border M&As
Authors: Hasan Iftekhar , Khalil Fahad , Sun Xian
Published: April 2017

We investigate the impacts of improved intellectual property rights (IPR) protection on cross-border M&A performance. Using multiple measures of IPR protection and based on generalized difference-in-differences estimates, we find that countries with better IPR protection attract significantly more hi-tech cross-border M&A activity, particularly in developing economies. Moreover, acquirers pay higher premiums for companies in countries with better IPR protection, and there is a significantly higher acquirer announcement effect associated with these hi-tech transactions.
Legitimidad y credibilidad en el sistema de AFP: Algo más que gobierno corporativo
Authors: Abarzua Eduardo
Published: April 2017

Este artículo discute algunas de las soluciones técnicas que se proponen para mejorar los sistemas de pensiones, en particular aquellas que se enfocan en el diseño institucional y la participación de propietarios. Se sostiene que cualquier rediseño viable del sistema deberá combinar la eficiencia económica con la legitimidad social. En este contexto, se problematiza la propuesta de entregar atribuciones a los propietarios de los fondos de pensiones como contraparte de las administradoras de fondos de pensiones. Un sistema de pensiones será durable en la medida que sea reconocido y aceptado como lícito y genuino por el conjunto de los actores de nuestro país.
Lucro, propiedad y eficiencia económica en el mercado de AFPs
Authors: Saavedra Eduardo
Published: April 2017

Este trabajo muestra que, desde la perspectiva de la eficiencia económica, es racional introducir una AFP sin fines de lucro, sea estatal o privada, siempre que: i) sus comisiones cubran exactamente sus costos medios totales; ii) entregue incentivos para mantener los costos marginales a la par del de sus rivales con fines de lucro; y iii) su gobierno corporativo la blinde del abuso de sus ejecutivos y controladores –o del uso político en caso de ser de propiedad estatal– y así no eleve sus costos fijos de largo plazo. Como el Estado chileno tiene dificultades para garantizar el cumplimiento de ii) y iii), una mejor opción parece ser introducir mayor competencia “eficiente” al sistema con AFPs privadas sin fines de lucro en lugar de una AFP estatal.

Mercados como espelho
Authors: Pardo-Guerra Juan Pablo
Published: April 2017

Este artigo interroga a conceitualização convencional dos mercados como redes, instituições e realizações performativas ao apresentá-los como espelhos culturais que refletem as idiossincrasias e modos de organização social de seus ambientes. Estendendo a metáfora weberiana do mercado como comunidades, e combinando-a com recentes teorias antropológicas do parentesco, o artigo propõe compreender processos de mercado como espaços de produção de relações sociais ao invés de transações meramente impessoais. Utilizando discussões a respeito de compensação e trocas nos mercados financeiros contemporâneos como um exemplo, o artigo defende repensar o papel e a ontologia dos mercados na vida moderna.

Background:

Individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) have a high risk of cardiovascular complications, but it is unknown to what extent fulfilling all cardiovascular treatment goals is associated with residual risk of mortality and cardiovascular outcomes in those with T1DM compared with the general population.

Methods:

We included all patients ≥18 years of age with T1DM who were registered in the Swedish National Diabetes Register from January 1, 1998, through December 31, 2014, a total of 33 333 patients, each matched for age and sex with 5 controls without diabetes mellitus randomly selected from the population. Patients with T1DM were categorized according to number of risk factors not at target: glycohemoglobin, blood pressure, albuminuria, smoking, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Risk of all-cause mortality, acute myocardial infarction, heart failure hospitalization, and stroke was examined in relation to the number of risk factors at target.

Results:

The mean follow-up was 10.4 years in the diabetes group. Overall, 2074 of 33 333 patients with diabetes mellitus and 4141 of 166 529 controls died. Risk for all outcomes increased stepwise for each additional risk factor not at target. Adjusted hazard ratios for patients achieving all risk factor targets compared with controls were 1.31 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.93–1.85) for all-cause mortality, 1.82 (95% CI, 1.15–2.88) for acute myocardial infarction, 1.97 (95% CI, 1.04–3.73) for heart failure hospitalization, and 1.17 (95% CI, 0.51–2.68) for stroke. The hazard ratio for patients versus controls with none of the risk factors meeting target was 7.33 (95% CI, 5.08–10.57) for all-cause mortality, 12.34 (95% CI, 7.91–19.48) for acute myocardial infarction, 15.09 (95% CI, 9.87–23.09) for heart failure hospitalization, and 12.02 (95% CI, 7.66–18.85) for stroke.

Conclusions:

A steep-graded association exists between decreasing number of cardiovascular risk factors at target and major adverse cardiovascular outcomes among patients with T1DM. However, risks for all outcomes were numerically higher for patients with T1DM compared with controls, even when all risk factors were at target, with risk for acute myocardial infarction and heart failure hospitalization statistically significantly higher.
Evolving Conceptualizations of Organizational Environmentalism: A Path Generation Account
Authors: Bothello Joel , Salles-Djelic Marie-Laure
Published: April 2017

Over the past 30 years, organizations of many different kinds have introduced environmental preoccupations into decision-making, engaging with – and in many cases co-constructing – a striking array of rankings, best practices, standards and other governance tools. However, there has thus far been surprisingly little exploration of the evolving normative implications of environmentalism: existing organizational research treats environmentalism as a static, uniform and quasi-naturalistic phenomenon. In this article, we argue instead that environmentalism is fluid and multifaceted, evolving over time to produce differing conceptualizations that become affiliated with – and mobilized by – particular groups of actors. Using the theoretical framing of path generation, we identify how environmentalism follows a path characterized by episodes of re-conceptualization and re-labelling, a discursive evolution reflecting incremental yet consequential interactions with other institutional paths. We engage in a conceptual history to identify junctures where environmentalism meets with other institutional trajectories, facilitating shifts in meaning. We identify moments of crookedness in the transnational environmental path that are symbolically reflected in label changes – from the emergence of “sustainable development” in the 1980s, to “sustainability” in the 1990s, and more recently, an offshoot towards “resilience”. Those label changes are not only, we propose, symbolic markers but are also performative and entrench consequential regime transformations with regard to environmentalism. Through our exploration, we contribute to theory development while also generating empirical implications: theory-wise, we identify mechanisms of path generation that inform broader debates around path dependence. Empirically, we illustrate how different variants of environmentalism are connected to specific meaning systems, exhibiting affinity with different organizational fields.
Delayed recognition of geomorphology papers in the Geological Society of America Bulletin
Authors: Goldstein Evan B
Published: April 2017

The Geological Society of America Bulletin was an early home for quantitative geomorphology research. Although geomorphology papers are not uniformly the highest cited papers in the Bulletin, many show ‘delayed recognition’—they garner only few citations directly after publication, before suddenly being widely and numerously cited (sometimes decades after publication). I focus here on (1) algorithmically detecting cases of delayed recognition in geomorphology literature from the Bulletin and (2) providing insight into why delayed recognition occurred for these papers.
André Bazin, le cinéma et l’historiographie française
Authors: Cortade Ludovic
Published: April 2017

Résumé

Cet article analyse l’influence exercée par l’historiographie française sur la conception du cinéma développée par André Bazin. Sur la base de documents d’archives et de l’analyse de ses textes critiques, il s’agit de mettre en évidence la façon dont le critique est influencé par l’historiographie de Lavisse lorsqu’il commente les films à la fois sous l’angle de l’unité et de l’identité nationales. L’analyse fait cependant apparaître que Bazin est avant tout un héritier de l’École des Annales, ce qu’il manifeste en s’intéressant aux mentalités, ainsi qu’au « temps long » et aux résurgences du passé, tout en reprenant l’intérêt manifesté par March Bloch et Lucien Febvre pour la géographie et la géologie.
The life and afterlife of French WWI songs: National identity then and now
Authors: Evans Beverly J.
Published: April 2017

Wartime music provides clear testimonial to the importance of melody and text in times of conflict. In the case of the Great War, which introduced the world to weapons of nightmarish capability, carefree popular ballads often stood shoulder to shoulder with sombre lyrics that called attention to the tragedy unfolding in the trenches. The first part of this article surveys the themes of French songs of the WWI era itself, such as ‘Ah! C’est la guerre’, ‘La Madelon’ and ‘La Chanson de Craonne’. The second concentrates on ‘La Madelon’, which underwent numerous transformations in response to events during the interwar years and World War II. The final section explores why the Great War took hold as a focus of French popular music in the late 1950s and continues to assert its presence to this day. A surprising number of contemporary artists have recorded World War I-themed songs, such as ‘La Guerre de 14–18’, ‘Jaurès’, ‘Verdun’, ‘Le No Man’s Land’, ‘Tranchée 1914’ and ‘La Chanson de Craonne’. What cultural phenomena might account for this in addition to the urge to memorialise? Examination of the internal and external forces that continue to fuel the ‘Grand débat sur l’identité nationale’ makes clear why songs of the Great War appeal to a citizenry determined to preserve the values of ‘Frenchness’ in the face of evolving demographics and increasing ‘Europeanisation’.
‘The NCEPOD Method’ – How the National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death designs and delivers national clinical outcome review programmes
Authors: Mason Marisa
Published: April 2017

Introduction

This publication describes the method used by the National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death (NCEPOD) to run confidential enquiries. With its history based around the review of surgical mortality, NCEPOD has now grown into a medical as well as surgical review and expanded its remit to review overall quality of care of all patients.

Methods and analysis

The work will describe the qualitative method used by NCEPOD to conduct a national confidential enquiry, starting with how a topic is selected through to report production. Covering all hospitals in the UK and using a network of local contacts, NCEPOD reviews a sample of cases from each hospital and provides in-depth multidisciplinary peer review to give a national picture on the quality of care provided. The peer review data collected is underpinned by quantitative data collected using questionnaires, and all analyses are undertaken using pivot tables in Excel. The paper will highlight the strengths, limitations and challenges of this qualitative method.

Ethics and dissemination

NCEPOD does not interact directly with patients and therefore does not require ethics approval. NCEPOD does, however, gain approvals through the relevant regulations in all UK countries to collect identifiable or anonymised data without consent.

Conclusion

The paper will be useful for those who need a reference document for the general approach to enquiries that NCEPOD now uses. It could also be read by those who would like to undertake their own local enquiry and would like a method to base it on.

Site-specific television as urban renewal: Or, how Portland became Portlandia
Authors: Parmett Helen Morgan
Published: April 2017

This article addresses the rise of what I call ‘site-specific television’, where the dispersion of television production outside traditional centers results in shooting locations that also serve as the crux of the televisual narrative. I argue that site-specific television constitutes ‘TV renewal’, in which on-location shooting practices are constitutive of urban regeneration efforts that draw on local, alternative, and creative cultures of production to help promote, rebrand, and revitalize marginalized city spaces with, often, gentrifying implications. Taking up Portlandia as a case study of site-specific television, I argue its on-location production practices depend on decentralized and embedded practices of production that align with recent economic and cultural changes in the television industry and in the city.
Helicobacter Pylori Infection in Texas Hispanic and Non-Hispanic White Men: Implications for Gastric Cancer Risk Disparities
Authors: Long Parma Dorothy , Muñoz Edgar , Ogden Susan M. , Westin Gustavo F. , Leach Robin J. , Thompson Ian M. , Ramirez Amelie G.
Published: April 2017

Chronic Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori) infection is a major gastric adenocarcinoma (GA) risk factor. GA disproportionately affects U.S. Hispanics compared with non-Hispanic Whites (NHWs). Since H. pylori infection studies in Hispanics are few, infection rates in Hispanic and NHW men in Bexar County were compared, and relationships with ethnicity and obesity examined. Age- and zip code-matched participants from a community-dwelling cohort were randomly selected. Sera from 284 men were analyzed by enzyme immunoassay for H. pylori antibodies. Adjusted risk ratio estimation for matched data was conducted to identify differences. Hispanics had a markedly higher prevalence of infection (30.3%) than NHWs (9.2%). Matched risk ratio (mRR) analyses revealed a strong association between H. pylori seropositivity and Hispanic ethnicity (mRR = 3.31; 95% CI [1.91, 5.73], adjusted by BMI, smoking status, and family history of cancer (mRR range = 3.28-3.89). BMI mRRs (range = 1.19-1.22) were significant in all models. In this cohort, Hispanic men had higher H. pylori infection rates than NHWs, and parallel the disproportionately higher rates of GA; obesity contributes to this higher prevalence. Future studies should address country of origin, acculturation, and other factors influencing obesity to further elucidate risk of GA in Hispanic populations.

Published: April 2017

The administration of intravenous (IV) alteplase to patients with stroke via telestroke (TS) can be safe and effective. It remains unclear how quickly IV alteplase occurs during TS evaluations. We sought to compare door to needle times (DNTs) between patients receiving IV alteplase who present directly to our comprehensive stroke center (CSC) and those presenting to community hospitals in our TS network. Consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) who presented to emergency departments and received IV alteplase between August 2014 and June 2015 were identified at our CSC and TS network. Median DNTs with interquartile ranges were calculated in each cohort. During the study period, 117 patients with AIS (mean age 71 ± 15 years, 47% women) receiving IV alteplase were included in the analysis (65 CSC and 52 TS). Median DNT at our CSC was significantly shorter compared to TS sites (CSC: 43 [35-55] minutes vs TS: 54 [41-71] minutes, P < .01). The proportion of patients receiving IV alteplase ≤60 minutes of presentation was significantly higher at our CSC compared to our TS network (CSC 84.6% vs TS 63.5%, P = .02). Differences in favorable discharge to home were not significant (CSC 60% vs TS 46%, P = .14). Guideline-recommended DNTs ≤60 minutes can be achieved in community hospitals with TS guidance. Initiatives are required to better resemble DNTs found at stroke centers.
Developing Research-Led Teaching: Two Cases of Practical Data Reuse in the Classroom
Authors: Haaker Maureen , Morgan-Brett Bethany
Published: April 2017

Research-led teaching is an area that has gained attention and prominence within higher education. This article reviews two teaching resources developed from archived research data and demonstrates how this type of data reuse helps teachers establish a clear connection between research and teaching. The two teaching resources, developed by the authors in their time working at the UK Data Service, were created for use in higher education, and use Annette Lawson’s 1980s study of adultery and Stanley Cohen’s 1960s study of Mods and Rockers. The authors describe the resources in detail, explain how and why the content was developed, and explore the potential value that preserved real-world research data can have when using research to teach. The reviews of these resources point to the great possibilities for future development of teaching resources using archived data to support a range of teaching modules, from methods to topical undergraduate courses, as well as demonstrate the value of archived data and documentation for research practices.

Drivers and Inhibitors of Big Data as a Service Adoption in India
Authors: Verma Surabhi , Bhattacharyya Som Sekhar
Published: April 2017

The purpose of this research articles is to analyze the characteristics of big data as a service (BDaaS) markets which is currently in its initial stages from adoption driving and inhibiting perspectives. This study theoretically classifies the BDaaS market into drivers and inhibitors through the PEST analysis based on previous literature. Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) matrix was used to analyze the segmentation, drivers and inhibitors, to understand the nature of the early BDaaS market. This study has proposed a new theoretical methodology for analyzing the early market of BDaaS and it is expected that this methodology may be used in the market analysis of other fields beyond the BDaaS market. Customer factors in the consumerization phenomenon and social, political, and technological factors in the PEST analysis were the important drivers of BDaaS adoption. Suppliers from the consumerization phenomenon and political factors in the PEST analysis were the most important inhibitors of BDaaS adoption. The results have important implications for policymaking and fostering other newly established BDaaS markets in emerging economies.
AIDS in the City: Melodrama and the Social Marketing of HIV Prevention in Francophone West Africa
Authors: Cynn Christine
Published: April 2017

In Francophone West Africa, bilateral and multilateral HIV prevention focuses on combating stigma, increasing awareness, and encouraging safer sexual practices, especially through the use of mass media. This approach works in the service of neoliberal mandates to produce African consumers and to frame the HIV epidemic as an issue to be addressed largely through rational individual choice and integration into commercial markets. The behavior change it promotes and represents relies on securing female reproductive heterosexuality and the family. The melodramatic mode has proven vital to such efforts, for example, in the soap opera SIDA dans la cité (AIDS in the City, Radiodiffusion-Télévision Ivoirienne, 1995, 1996–97, 2003), which consisted of three series produced by the US-based Population Services International (PSI) in Côte d'Ivoire. To the extent that AIDS in the City draws from the techniques and tropes of Hollywood melodrama, Anglo-American feminist film criticism provides useful critical frameworks for reading the series, even as such readings necessitate a broadening of the terms of aesthetic and political debates around melodrama and African media, as well as complicate Anglo-American feminist attempts to recuperate the melodrama as a quintessentially American mode.
A Strange Child of Paradise: The Artistry of Arletty's “Self” in Les enfants du paradis
Authors: Picherit Hervé
Published: April 2017

This essay argues that the French actress Arletty, née Léonie Bathiat, engaged in a multifaceted and complex form of selfhood that profoundly influenced her role in the classic film of the French occupation period, Les enfants du paradis (Children of Paradise, dir. Marcel Carné, France, 1945). Adopting Marcel Mauss's categories of the human mind, the author maintains that the relationship between Arletty's person, her star persona, and her function as a personnage (character) constitutes a unique form of aesthetic selfhood recognized by her contemporaries but largely unacknowledged by later critics. The author argues that Arletty's unique form of stardom—allowing her “self” to unite otherwise contrary attributes—anchors Enfants's reconciliatory influence over a society fragmented by war and enemy occupation. As the actress purportedly declared: “Si mon cœur est français, mon cul, lui, est international” (If my heart is French, my ass is international). Such was the public perception of Arletty, which the author contends allowed her to be at once “French” and “international” and thus adhere to categories that would be mutually exclusive for anyone else. Furthermore, this article analyzes Arletty's role at the heart of the symbolic mechanisms of Enfants, in which she embodies an aesthetic unity that evokes the possibility of transcending the ideological divisions of occupied and liberated France.
Made in Movieland: Imitation, Agency, and Girl Movie Fandom in the 1910s
Authors: Anselmo Diana W.
Published: April 2017

This article employs the concept of imitation as a lens through which the author explores the complex relationship established between the fledgling Hollywood film industry and the first generation of girls to be culturally construed as “adolescent” and “movie fans” in the US. Interlacing early twentieth-century psychological literature, sociological studies, and materials published in film fan magazines, industry trade publications, and general newspapers with girls' own fan letters and photographs, the author maps the ways in which imitation became a source of agency and pleasure for movie-loving girls during the 1910s—a decade when popular and scientific sources understood imitative behavior as both a mark of women's intellectual inferiority and a product of female adolescent arrestment. The main goal of this piece is thus to show that adolescent girls contributed significantly to the implementation of Hollywood's star system. This article also analyzes the ambivalent modes of representation and address journalists directed at girl spectators and how such modes evidenced the film industry's growing dependence on young female audiences, as well as the broader patriarchal anxiety over girls' newfound public autonomy, spectatorial pleasure, and homoerotic identification.
Interview with Paromita Vohra: Remaking the “Political” in Social Documentary
Authors: Kishore Shweta
Published: April 2017

In her films, Paromita Vohra is the trickster, the bahurupiya who entertains, unsettles, and ultimately encourages the spectator to think, reflect, and reconsider. Always penetrating in her analysis, Vohra is interested in the ways power is exercised through history and discourse. Her films are aesthetically distinct in the context of the formal histories of social documentary in India, which emerged at a moment of political crisis and subsequently came to be associated with instrumental use in education, advocacy, and public address. For Vohra, the textual stability of documentary address, representational regimes, and cinematic and verbal language are important areas of political interrogation. Each film is a complex construction in which the “real” is only one element in an affective and reflexive architecture of performance, fiction, poetry, and the intuitive. In this interview, Vohra and the author discuss the filmmaker's discomfort with the historical conventions of social documentary and how she reworks documentary's aesthetic terms through the prisms of the personal.
Stephanie Rothman Does Not Exist: Narrating a Lost History of Women in Film
Authors: Kozma Alicia
Published: April 2017

This article examines Stephanie Rothman and her career as a second-wave exploitation film director between 1966 and 1974. Marginally represented in film histories and archives, Rothman made seven films during her short career and flourished in the primarily masculinized world of second-wave exploitation filmmaking. Despite her success, she remains largely obscure to academic and popular film communities. Grounding the discussion in a series of interviews conducted with the director, the author examines Rothman's role as the rare woman director working in second-wave exploitation filmmaking—and, indeed, in Hollywood—through her professional and personal ideology, her relationship with Roger Corman, and her marginalized place in film history. In so doing, this article provides an interventional model for the reconceptualization of film histories and archives through a feminist framework.

Introduction: Self-Identity and Ambivalence
Authors: Perl Jeffrey M. , Garcia Humberto , Halevy Noa , Valdina Peter
Published: April 2017

In this introduction to the first installment of the Common Knowledge symposium on xenophilia, the editor explains the rationale of the new project, citing increases in aggressive xenophobia internationally. He comments on the intergroup-relations theorist Todd Pittinsky's argument that, since tolerance is not logically the antithesis of negative feelings toward out-groups, even long-established traditions of toleration are inadequate to prevent intergroup aggression. Pittinsky proposes that tolerance be replaced, as a principle of peacekeeping, by the encouragement of positive feelings toward out-groups, and the author of this essay responds by showing how the Freudian theory of ambivalence and the history of literature on which Freud drew in constructing it support Pittinsky's viewpoint. Enemies regularly fall in love, above all in Shakespearean drama, which Freud explains by arguing that all human relations are love-hate relations. Thus, this essay suggests, it takes as much psychic energy to repress the love in what appear to be relationships of hatred as to repress the hatred in what appear to be relationships of love. There is a metaphysical component as well to this argument: the xenophobe and xenophile equally presuppose that the identity principle (a = a) is applicable to society as well as to mathematics; both assume that each discrete social group is self-identical and differs from all other groups more or less radically. The main difference between –phile and –phobe is the latter's relative incapacity to live with ambivalence. Given these arguments, one must expect to find negative as well as positive motives in the etiology and conduct of xenophilia—and the first installment of the Common Knowledge symposium is said to focus on cases of xenophilia in which varieties of enmity accompany that singular and underrated variety of love.
A STRANGER'S LOVE FOR IRELAND
Authors: Garcia Humberto
Published: April 2017

A contribution to the Common Knowledge symposium on xenophilia, this article examines the travelogue of Mirza Abu Taleb ibn Muhammed Isfahani (1752–1805), the Muslim Indo-Persian scholar, poet, and Lucknow nobleman who sympathized with the Irish during his travels to England and Ireland in 1799–1802. Translated from Persian to English by an Irish scholar working for the British East India Company, Charles Stewart, and published in London in two editions (1810, 1814), The Travels of Mirza Abu Taleb Khan records the author's love for the Irish and theirs for him. This mutual xenophilia, the article argues, is politically motivated by Abu Taleb's strong, but mostly tacit, reservations about the English, his imperial patrons. He realigns the relationship between metropole and colony by casting Ireland as the bridgehead of a glorious Islamic-Persianate culture that spread westward, a transcultural fantasy that takes two forms. First, the unconditional hospitality Abu Taleb experiences among his Irish and Anglo-Irish hosts leads him to imagine a linguistic-ethnic kinship between ancient Celts and Persians, recalled in the similarities he sees between a subimperial capital, Dublin, and an Indian Mughal city, Lucknow. Second, in his detailed account of a patriotic performance that he attended in Dublin of the British siege of Seringapatam in 1799, he identifies with the skeptical audience who, he assumes, are self-conscious about this propagandistic medium.
SOCIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CURRENT STATE OF THE LABORATORY PHASE OF PROVIDING DENTAL ORTHOPEDIC TREATMENT TO THE POPULATION (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE IRKUTSK REGION)
Authors: ��������  , Fedchishin Nikita , �����  , Kitsul Igor
Published: April 2017

Key problems of the dental laboratories in public health sector include insufficient material and technical equipment,

weakly theoretically and practically trained personnel and often a mismatch between the structure and organization

of the laboratories themselves and modern requirements. To improve the functioning of the dental service, the actual

problem remains the laboratory phase of providing dental orthopedic treatment to the population, which has an extremely

important medical and organizational value in the quality assurance of orthopedic treatment and achievement

of optimal final result. Until not distributed modern technology, they are not accessible to the majority of the population.

Low competition in the field of high-tech prosthetics causes a high cost. The lag in manufacturing technologies and

professional development leads to lowering the quality of public assistance, often inefficient and low-quality dental

prosthetics, further enhances the problem, increases the level of need in dental orthopedic care for most of the population

using the services of the state dentistry.

We studied distal colon of Wistar rats including descending transverse colon and rectum. Feature of distal colon in the

left flexure are short mesenterium growing in size towards rectum, common mesenterium with small intestine attached

to it on the right side and ligament forming left flexure and attached to it on the left side. It was found that one of the

variants of normal blood supply is the absence of a. mesenterica caudalis. In this case blood supply comes from arterial

arch formed by a. rectalis media and a. colica media. Moreover, in the classic variant of blood supply we revealed a

variation in the amount of straight branches that go to this segment of colon wall from left colic and superior rectal

arteries (from 3 to 5 from each artery).

The structural features of rectum is weak expression of rectal ampulla that causes the depletion of fecal masses immediately

after passing into rectum. Crypt compartment of colon of Wistar rats consists by 80,6 % of obligatory flora

represented with Bacteroides ssp., Lactobacillus spp., Bifidobacterium spp., Enterococcus faecalis, E. coli (lac+), Grampositive

rods. Facultative flora is represented with Proteus mirabilis, Peptococcus spp., Candida spp., Staphylococcus

The article presents data from a study of 161 child with pneumonia. Two groups of patients with uncomplicated pneumonia

and pneumonia with pleural pulmonary complication were formed. The study of coagulation hemostasis was realized

in the studied groups. It was found that in children with uncomplicated pneumonia levels of SFMC and D-dimer were

significantly higher than in normal conditions that indicates activation of coagulation hemostasis. When complicated by

pneumonia hemostasis matches the current intravascular coagulation: thrombocytosis, increased levels of fibrinogen, hypoor

hypercoagulation on aPTT, changing TV thrombinemia (SFMC is 5 times higher than normal), and increased level of

D-dimer, inhibition of fibrinolysis, which indicates more pronounced activation of coagulation in children with pneumonia.

Heel tendon injuries is the most common trauma of tendomuscular apparatus. Old ruptures of heel tendon occur in 58 % of cases in humans. The aim of the research was to estimate the effectiveness of treatment of the patients with old ruptures of heel tendon with Myerson type III defects who had tendon reconstruction on Chernavsky and short plaster splint immobilization of lower extremity for 4 weeks. We operated 10 patients using reconstruction on Chernavsky in our clinic from 2012 to 2014 (average age – 47,6 ± 12,0 years, 8 males and 2 females). All patients had old ruptures of heel tendon. Average time from the moment of trauma till the operation was 112,6 ± 80,4 days. Diastasis between the ends of tendon was 5,8 ± 0,7 cm that corresponds to Myerson type III. Average term of staying at hospital was 10 ± 2 days. We didn’t register any complications in postoperative period. Term of plaster immobilization of the operated extremity was 4 weeks. AOFAS score was 34,2 ± 6,8 points at the control examination in 1,5 months that corresponds to bad functional result. We registered good functional results (88,6 ± 3,5 points) in 3 months. In 6 months, functional results were 95,9 ± 1,6 points. In 12 months after the operation average score was 97,9 ± 2,1 points that corresponds to excellent functional result. Using heel tendon reconstruction on Chernavsky at the Myerson type III defects in combination with short plaster immobilization and early activization of patients allows to decrease term of rehabilitation of patients after the operation.

The article presents the examination of the ovaries of embryos, ovaries of human feti and ovaries of children of the tender

age. The researches revealed the increase of the surface of follicles, nucleus and primary oocyte’s cytoplasm that tells

about the fact that further follicular maturation continues in the ovaries of a child of 2–4 months old. Also we registered

the increase of nuclear cytoplasmic ratio, appearance of single mature follicles with cumulus oophorus that testifies to

the fact that the ovary is functionally mature. Furthermore the research revealed increased content of lipids and DNA in

follicular epithelium that also tells about functional maturity of the ovary. It was found that incretory activity of an ovary

during the first year of life is provided by the cells originated from the connective tissue membrane of atresic follicles.

The review of domestic and foreign literary sources for 2002–2014 made it possible to deepen into the problem of interstitial cystitis and put together different points of view and also to systematize the store of knowledge. Interstitial cystitis is a complex disease with marked clinical manifestation and defeat of urinary bladder with varying severity. For the purpose of diagnostics and treatment optimization of the disease in point in the review they presented the criteria whose existence will make it possible to make the diagnosis of interstitial cystitis. The multifactorial etiology of the disease requires the multiplane causal and pathogenetic therapy but more often empirical and symptomatic. In the article describe the algorithm of treatment of patients with the diagnosis of interstitial cystitis.

The aim of the research was to develop a new technique for suturing the surgical incision in submammary area after subpectoral reconstructive breast surgery with good cosmetic result. Clinical observation group included 10 patients. It was found that the new technique of suturing the surgical incision, in comparison with the method offered by M.B.Calo-braceet al. (2014), allows to decrease the duration of suturing from 6min 10±0.06 sec down to 5min 29±0.04 sec (р<0.01), to reduce number of stitches from 24 down to 15, to shorten postoperative stitch from 4.24±0.06cm down to 3.71±0.07cm (р<0.01), and to shorten cicatrix length in 1year after the operation from 4.78±0.19cm down to4.25±0.22cm (р<0.05). Therefore, the developed technique of suturing the surgical wound provides the location of postoperative cicatrix in the area of submammary fold which makes it less noticeable. Moreover, it allows to shorten the length of postoperative cicatrix, decrease the duration of the surgery and to secure adequate stability of implant fixation.

The aim of the research was to study electrophysiological values in patients with blade-humerus pain syndrome at cervical osteochondrosis and posttraumatic shoulder injuries. We managed 71patients: 33patients with cervical osteochondrosis and brachialgia getting conservative treatment in the neurosurgical unit of Irkutsk Scientific Center of Surgery and Traumatology (group1) and 38patients with injuries of shoulder joint capsules and ligaments getting treatment in the unit of traumatology and orthopedics (group2). Comparison of electroneuromyographic values in pa-tients of both groups showed unidirectional changes in the values and accentuated decrease in electroneuromyographic parameters on both affected and unaffected extremities. In both cases median nerve was affected most. We registered the decrease in conduction velocity of motor fibers of intact nerves in patients of both groups. Lack of clinical signs of lesion of these nerves can be indicative of functional changes in nerve conduction which reflect generalized reaction on the lesion of certain nerve stems.

The aim of the study was to analyze the peculiarities of combined spinal and pelvic pathology in children living on the industrial area of the Irkutsk Region. To perform the analysis we carried out the clinical-roentgenological research, and when making orthopedic examination we took into consideration ecological factors and used the chart of mul-tivariative analysis. It was found that in the structure of combined pathology, pelvis asymmetry ranks first, scoliosis ranks second, Legg–Calve–Perthes disease ranks third. According to the assessment of age structure of combined pathology we can conclude that at the equal manifestations of scoliosis, Spina bifida, retrospondylolisthesis, pelvis asymmetry, children of 11–15y.o. more often have Legg–Calve–Perthes disease, children of 16–21y.o. – coxarthrosis. In its turn relative share of Legg–Calve–Perthes disease cases in children living within a radius of 5km from the industrial center is the largest (21 из 28 cases). It’s important to mention that Legg–Calve–Perthes disease was registered in all examined boys and only in 35.5% of girls. I and II degrees of manifestation of clinicoroentgenologic disorders of combined spine and pelvis pathology prevail (77 and 43 cases correspondingly) over the disorders of the III degree (15cases).

The purpose of the research was to establish main causes of development and outcomes of adhesive obstruction.We analyzed the outcomes of treatment of 154 patients with acute intestinal obstruction. The following data were taken into consideration: age, gender, surgeries in past medical history, terms of adhesions manifestations, clinical symptoms, findings of additional examinations, methods of treatment, outcome. It has been established, that the most frequent causes of adhesions were appendectomy (23%), stomach operations (21 %) and gynecological interventions (14 %). After surgeries performed in conditions of regional hospitals, adhesions developed after appendectomy, gynecological operations and interventions on the intestine. In patients operated in city hospitals intestinal obstruction more often occurred after extensive operations on the stomach, appendix, and after gynecological interventions. Urgent surgical interventions more often led to adhesive process in the abdominal cavity (63 %). Mortality made 5.8 %. Causes of death were intestinal fistulas and abdominal sepsis.Thus, acute adhesive intestinal obstruction as an extreme form of abdominal adhesions continues to be an urgent medical issue.
