Magda Donato: una pioniera del giornalismo spagnolo
Authors: Bernard Margherita
Published: June 2021

Magda Donato occupies an important position within the frame of feminine journalism in the first decades of XX century, but she deserves to be rescued from an unjust oblivion. This article studies Donato’s collaboration with one of the most prestigious magazines of the time, España, founded and directed by the philosopher José Ortega y Gasset.Next to the most preeminent signatures of the culture of the time, Magda Donato’s articles do not belong to an occasional collaboration; on the contrary, they constitute a column that faces the controversial themes of feminism, women’semancipation and family law. The journalist distinguishes herself by discoursive strategies which involve the reader and, at the same time, she produces a fragmentation of the point of view thanks to the use of a first person that doesn’t always express her voice and her real ideas: sometimes it represents the prejudices that Donato wants to fight. By this tecnique, the writer pushes the reader (especially women) to think independently and critically about the themes that animated the debate of that time.
Lo strappo nella coscienza del lettore (spettatore) in Pirandello (e Pasolini)
Authors: Orsitto Fulvio
Published: June 2021

This study has a twofold purpose: on one hand, it aims at confirming the importance of Pier Paolo Pasolini as one of the most relevant representatives of the postmodern trend in Italy and, on the other, it aims at liberating Luigi Pirandello's figure from the accusation of being an innovator only for the content of his works, but not for the language he chose to write them. While analyzing Pirandello's influence over Pasolini's oeuvre, this essay intends to demonstrate how the Sicilian author was certainly a modernist, but not an 'authoritarian modernist'. Indeed, his characters will never cross the threshold his works opened. Nonetheless, they will never return to the established order of things they have irrevocably altered. What is left of their existence will take place in an elsewhere, in a liminal zone near those horizons they helped opening; horizons later to be explored by postmodern narratives. This analysis is mainly based on Pirandello's The Late Mattia Pascal and Pasolini's What are the Clouds?, a short included in the film Caprice Italian Style [1968].
Interculturalidad: ¿Quo vadis? Desde la aparición de la Interkulturelle Germanistik hasta la normativa europea vigente con especial énfasis en el contexto español
Authors: Rodríguez Pérez Nieves , Heinsch Bárbara
Published: June 2021

This article focuses, first of all, on the revision of the concept of interculturality and its evolution in the field of German Studies over the last decades. This necessarily includes a revision of the most important definitions of culture and its derivatives, pluri- and multi-, within the context of the new socio-cultural constellations in European societies. Secondly, the “Boom” of interculturality will be analyzed, both regarding research and the new European regulations about language policy (Common Framework, White Paper on Intercultural Dialogue etc.) which reshape the profile of the new generations of academics and bring about a change in the paradigm. The next step will be to determine the importance of this phenomenon in the context of Spanish regulations. A deeper analysis of the concept of “intercultural competence” in the examined documents shows that it lacks concrete contents, because the term is often instrumentalized for political and ideological reasons.Its impact upon the scientific-academic field is still weak, in spite of its inclusion in many study programmes. Lastly, the necessity of concrete criteria to provide an education in intercultural competences will be highlighted. These criteria should not only be determined with an eye on employability, but they should also, and first of all, reflect the results of the latest studies concerning interculturality, especially those hinting at a “tertiary culture”.
Las mujeres en la Guerra de la Independencia y en la Constitución de 1812. Análisis desde la epistemología feminista y de género
Authors: Sanchís Vidal Amelia , Ramos Rovi María José
Published: June 2021

Madrid, 1808, the war against French broke out. Isla de León, 1810, the constituent period started. Throughout these two historical events, women were not given any chance. This has led the authors of this paper to ponder upon the following questions: were women objects or subjects? If subjects, were they ever unrestrained from being such? If objects, when will women be subjects without being restrained from being such? We strongly believe that the answers to these questions will be different depending on the epistemological and methodological models employed in a historical and legal research.
Cândido Lusitano e o Neoclassicismo português: as considerações preliminares à tradução da Arte Poética de Horácio
Authors: Teixeira Cláudia
Published: June 2021

This paper aims to analyze the “Discurso Preliminar do Traductor” which precedes the translation of Horace's Ars Poetica, published by Cândido Lusitano in 1758. In it, Cândido Lusitano reflects on the qualities of the Horatian' work, on the qualities and defects of many Commentaries and translations, published by several European commentators and translators, and on the principles that should be followed by the translators. The analysis made by Cândido Lusitano echoes the principles of neoclassical aesthetic, and thus it is intended to analyze this text in order to determine how those principles were received and understood by one of the most important theorists of Portuguese neoclassicism.

Der Ubersetzungssektor in Krisenzeiten in Spanien und die Erscheinung der neuen Technologien. Die neuen Ubersetzung-Apps für Android-Smartphones
Authors: Mira Rueda Concepción
Published: June 2021

During the last few years, the financia! crisis in Europe and other countries in the world has had a profound impact on every professional branch. Among these, we lúghlight its negative influence on the translation and interpreting branch. In tlús paper, we will tackle three main questions. Firstly, we will analyse the way labour market for translators and interpreters has been undermined by the crisis. Subsequently, the decisive factors will be explained. In addition, we will see how the financial crisis has become a matter of particular concem to more and more Translation scholars. Secondly, we will deal with new technologies that have emerged and become a successful product in the midst of the current economical crisis. However, we will not deal with new technologies on the whole, but those that have to do with Translation, i.e. new apps for Android-srnartphones. We will see how soplústicated are they and the way, sornetirnes, are they used in order to satisfy punctual translation needs on the part of individuals and enterprises, who rnay consider professional translations and interpreting like a luxury that not everyone can afford. Next, we will compare the latest translation apps: autornatic translators and voice translators. Lastly, we will focus on how the crisis is influencing on the Spanish Universities in terrns of Translation and Interp~ting studies. We will contrast the number of student enrolnlC'nL-, nnd what is the situation (reasons, goals and motivations) of the students who enrolled Translation and h1terpreting studies.

¿Dónde está la política criminal? Derecho penal y vida cotidiana en estudios socio-jurídicos anglosajones
Authors: Araya Moreno Javiera
Published: June 2021

A partir de una pregunta metodológica – ¿dónde está la política criminal? – el presente artículo revisa la literatura en estudios socio-jurídicos anglosajones con el fin de situar metodológica y analíticamente la política criminal en el marco de investigaciones empíricas. Una revisión no exhaustiva y deliberadamente parcial de estudios clásicos en la tradición denominada “derecho y sociedad” (Law & Society) permite reflexionar respecto al rol específico de las organizaciones encargadas de aplicar el derecho penal, y a la tensión entre perspectivas funcionalistas o estructuralistas, por un lado, y perspectivas pragmatistas y empiricistas, por el otro. Tres pistas de análisis son finalmente propuestas: primero, que la política criminal se encuentra del lado del “derecho en acción”; segundo, que tener acceso a ella requiere tomar distancia respecto de concepciones normativas y funcionalistas del derecho y; tercero, que estudiarla tal y como ésta se despliega en la vida cotidiana de justiciables y operadores jurídicos implica movilizar métodos empíricos que reposen sobre una concepción no idealizada de la vida cotidiana.
Predicting Inpatient Flow at a Major Hospital Using Interpretable Analytics
Authors: Bertsimas Dimitris , Pauphilet Jean , Stevens Jennifer , Tandon Manu
Published: June 2021

Problem definition: Translate data from electronic health records (EHR) into accurate predictions on patient flows and inform daily decision making at a major hospital. Academic/practical relevance: In a constrained hospital environment, forecasts on patient demand patterns could help match capacity and demand and improve hospital operations. Methodology: We use data from 63,432 admissions at a large academic hospital (50% female, median age 64 years old, median length of stay 3.12 days). We construct an expertise-driven patient representation on top of their EHR data and apply a broad class of machine learning methods to predict several aspects of patient flows. Results: With a unique patient representation, we estimate short-term discharges, identify long-stay patients, predict discharge destination, and anticipate flows in and out of intensive care units with accuracy in the 80%+ range. More importantly, we implement this machine learning pipeline into the EHR system of the hospital and construct prediction-informed dashboards to support daily bed placement decisions. Managerial implications: Our study demonstrates that interpretable machine learning techniques combined with EHR data can be used to provide visibility on patient flows. Our approach provides an alternative to deep learning techniques that is equally accurate, interpretable, frugal in data and computational power, and production ready.

Under Attack! CEO Implicit Motives and Firm Competitive Responses Following Short Seller Activism
Authors: Shi Wei , DesJardine Mark R.
Published: June 2021

We investigate how CEOs’ implicit motives can shape firms’ competitive intensity in response to external threats. We examine this phenomenon in the context of short seller activism, which occurs when an activist short seller publicly denounces a firm to drive down its stock price. Implicit motives are motivational dispositions that operate outside of an individual’s conscious awareness. We find that CEOs’ implicit needs for achievement and power are associated with a decrease in competitive intensity following short seller activism, implying that implicit motives can lead CEOs to avoid behaviors that they fear may result in failure or the exposure of weakness in the wake of an external threat. This study contributes to research on external threats and corporate governance by highlighting the role of CEOs’ implicit motives in shaping firms’ responses to activists. We emphasize the importance of integrating implicit motives into upper echelons research.
Analysis of Breathing Exercises in Gymnastics Lessons
Authors:   State Institution Luhansk Taras Shevchenko National University, Ochkalov Oleksandr
Published: June 2021

The article is devoted to the study of the problem of analyzing the conduct of breathing exercises in gymnastics classes. The purpose of the article is to analyze the scientific and methodological literature on the problem of research and determination of the peculiarities of diaphragmatic breathing at rest and after exercise, as well as the rules for performing nasal breathing. It should be noted that all the links of the functional respiratory system do not work in isolation, but in close relationship with other systems of the body. At the same time, it is important to remember that only a person, unlike animals, is given the ability and ability to consciously, purposefully change, regulate breathing, control his breathing, train it. This is possible due to the presence of a person's self-awareness. Vast scientific experience confirms that breathing exercises are important and effective therapeutic and health-improving means. Systematic special breathing training – changes in breathing conditions and load regulation during breathing exercises affect the adaptive mechanisms of the body, which can significantly increase the efficiency and economy of external respiration and, at the same time, make the physiological reserves and adaptive capabilities of the body more stable.
Physical Therapy Means in Special Medical Groups for Scoliosis
Authors:   State Institution Luhansk Taras Shevchenko National University, Radchenko Alina
Published: June 2021

A significant place in the article is devoted to the means of physical therapy in a special medical group for scoliosis because scoliosis occupies a leading place in the structure of orthopedic pathology. According to the literature, many authors associate the development of scoliosis with impaired mineral metabolism and a decrease in bone density of the vertebral bodies. Scoliosis is a broad concept that includes morpho-functional changes in the human body that arise as a result of curvature of the spine and are manifested by changes in the activity of the respiratory, cardiovascular, nervous systems, musculoskeletal system, etc. Analysis of scientific works, familiarization with the results of theoretical developments of scientists and practical experience of higher educational institutions regarding the outlined problem made it possible to identify the features and effectiveness of some means of physical therapy in a special medical group for scoliosis. Among the modern and effective means of physical therapy are: therapeutic exercises. Adding specific sets of exercises should be done with the help of a physical therapist. Such exercises very well help children with poor posture to overcome awkwardness, form the correct moving stereotype, and adapt to changes in the body pattern in case of scoliosis. Also a modern and effective means of physical therapy fitball-gymnastics. Unlike conventional techniques, gymnastics on fitballs (fitness ball) provides a unique opportunity to train motor control and balance, relieve stress from the ridge, etc. Therapeutic swimming is the main and irreplaceable means of physical therapy, since the spine is unloaded, the asymmetric work of the intervertebral muscles is significantly reduced, which creates favorable conditions for performing movements that reduce the pressure on the growth zones of the vertebral bodies. The treatment of scoliosis is based on stretching (traction) of the spine – this is a series of effects dosed in strength and time, and is a highly effective method of treatment, which at the same time has an instant analgesic and long-term therapeutic effect on areas of degenerative and compression lesions of the spine. Therefore, the scientific problem under study is relevant today, meaningfully complex and multifaceted, since the problem of scoliosis in children has been devoted to many fundamental, periodic and other scientific works, therefore it is very appropriate for future physical education teachers to use some means of physical therapy in special medical groups for scoliosis, namely: therapeutic exercises and exercises aimed at traction of the spine.

The purpose of the article is to analyze the scientific and methodological literature on the problem of research and definition and coverage of methods and techniques of remote control of physical activity during distance learning online and independent classes of higher education. Listed ways to use exercise control. First, teachers must conduct operational and ongoing monitoring of the load and recovery of students in each class more carefully. Second, students must master the skills of self-control both in everyday life and by exercising. Third, it is mandatory to keep a diary of self-control to record physical education and sports, which will identify early signs of fatigue and timely make appropriate adjustments to the training process: to determine the effectiveness of classes, tools and methods, optimal planning of the amount and intensity of exercise and rest in separate classes. Fourth, weekly mandatory reporting to the teacher. The following conclusions are made. Distance learning, as well as face-to-face and independent classes, always need control. Exercise control should not be spontaneous. Each student must master the methods of self-control and use them during physical activity both in the classroom online and during independent classes. Modern innovative gadgets are replacing conventional devices.

The article highlights the problem of gradual professional training of future coaches in the field of fitness, recreational physical culture, studying at the State University of Physical Education and Sports. The main aspects of such training are the formation and improvement of a complex of personal and professional qualities. In this regard, a sociological survey of students of the first cycle of study (1-3 courses) in the specialty «Fitness and recreational programs» was organized. For this, questionnaires were developed, the questions of which were conditionally divided into 3 categories: the first – determines the knowledge of preparation for the profession and activities of a fitness trainer; the second – studies the aspirations to acquire new skills, knowledge and skills of a fitness trainer; the third – reveals the professional qualities and abilities of a fitness trainer. The analysis of the survey results revealed that all the interviewed students are confident in the correct choice of their profession. In the learning process, there is a gradual, staged, growth of the level of professional training, including the formation of professional and personal qualities, as well as professional and motor abilities. At the same time, it can be noted that all the students participating in the survey, to one degree or another, are engaged in self-improvement, attending various events aimed at improving the level of their preparedness for the activity of a fitness trainer. This allowed a larger number of students (67%) to get a job in fitness clubs by the third year. In addition, it turned out that all the students who participated in the survey were involved in some kind of sport. Many of them work as trainers in fitness clubs without changing their direction in sports. Thus, one can observe the phased dynamics of the formation of a specialist, fitness trainer, from the first year of study at the university to the third.

Trajectories of pain and function in the first five years after total hip and knee arthroplasty
Authors: Dainty Jack R. , Smith Toby O. , Clark Emma M. , Whitehouse Michael R. , Price Andrew J. , MacGregor Alexander J.
Published: June 2021

Aims

To determine the trajectories of patient reported pain and functional disability over five years following total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Methods

A prospective, longitudinal cohort sub-study within the National Joint Registry (NJR) was undertaken. In all, 20,089 patients who underwent primary THA and 22,489 who underwent primary TKA between 2009 and 2010 were sent Oxford Hip Score (OHS) and Oxford Knee Score (OKS) questionnaires at six months, and one, three, and five years postoperatively. OHS and OKS were disaggregated into pain and function subscales. A k-means clustering procedure assigned each patient to a longitudinal trajectory group for pain and function. Ordinal regression was used to predict trajectory group membership using baseline OHS and OKS score, age, BMI, index of multiple deprivation, sex, ethnicity, geographical location, and American Society of Anesthesiologists grade.

Results

Data described two discrete trajectories for pain and function: ‘level 1’ responders (around 70% of cases) in whom a high level of improvement is sustained over five years, and ‘level 2’ responders who had sustained improvement, but at a lower level. Baseline patient variables were only weak predictors of pain trajectory and modest predictors of function trajectory. Those with worse baseline pain and function tended to show a greater likelihood of following a ‘level 2’ trajectory. Six-month patient-reported outcome measures data reliably predicted the class of five-year outcome trajectory for both pain and function.

Conclusion

The available preoperative patient variables were not reliable predictors of postoperative pain and function after THA and TKA. Reviewing patient outcomes at six months postoperatively is a reliable indicator of outcome at five years. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2021;103-B(6):1111–1118.
Orthoplastic management of open tibial fractures in children
Authors: Smith James Richard Alexander , Fox Clare E. , Wright Thomas C. , Khan Umraz , Clarke Anna M. , Monsell Fergal P.
Published: June 2021

Aims

Open tibial fractures are limb-threatening injuries. While limb loss is rare in children, deep infection and nonunion rates of up to 15% and 8% are reported, respectively. We manage these injuries in a similar manner to those in adults, with a combined orthoplastic approach, often involving the use of vascularised free flaps. We report the orthopaedic and plastic surgical outcomes of a consecutive series of patients over a five-year period, which includes the largest cohort of free flaps for trauma in children to date.

Methods

Data were extracted from medical records and databases for patients with an open tibial fracture aged < 16 years who presented between 1 May 2014 and 30 April 2019. Patients who were transferred from elsewhere were excluded, yielding 44 open fractures in 43 patients, with a minimum follow-up of one year. Management was reviewed from the time of injury to discharge. Primary outcome measures were the rate of deep infection, time to union, and the Modified Enneking score.

Results

The mean age of the patients was 9.9 years (2.8 to 15.8), and 28 were male (64%). A total of 30 fractures (68%) involved a motor vehicle collision, and 34 (77%) were classified as Gustilo Anderson (GA) grade 3B. There were 17 (50%) GA grade 3B fractures, which were treated with a definitive hexapod fixator, and 33 fractures (75%) were treated with a free flap, of which 30 (91%) were scapular/parascapular or anterolateral thigh (ALT) flaps. All fractures united at a median of 12.3 weeks (interquartile range (IQR) 9.6 to 18.1), with increasing age being significantly associated with a longer time to union (p = 0.005). There were no deep infections, one superficial wound infection, and the use of 20 fixators (20%) was associated with a pin site infection. The median Enneking score was 90% (IQR 87.5% to 95%). Three patients had a bony complication requiring further surgery. There were no flap failures, and eight patients underwent further plastic surgery.

Conclusion

The timely and comprehensive orthoplastic care of open tibial fractures in this series of patiemts aged < 16 years resulted in 100% union and 0% deep infection, with excellent patient-reported functional outcomes. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2021;103-B(6):1160–1167.
Symptomatic Os Subtibiale Following Injury: A Case Report of Failed Conservative Treatment, Leading to Differential Diagnosis Made Intraoperatively
Authors: Bandyopadhyay Abhijit
Published: June 2021

Introduction: Introduction: Os subtibiale is a rare accessory bone found adjacent to the distal tibia and is mostly asymptomatic. Differentiating it from a medial malleolar fracture is challenging. Most cases of acute ankle trauma that presents with an Os subtibiale are initially diagnosed as fractures by treating physicians at emergency centers. It is therefore critical for an orthopedic surgeon who gets referral for such cases to consider complete history of such patients to understand the cause of their symptoms. The goal is to avoid unnecessary surgical treatment and to realize that a symptomatic Os subtibiale can be successfully managed by conservative means. Nonetheless, certain cases may require surgical treatment if conservative treatment options fail. This is a case report of a patient that was diagnosed as a case of symptomatic Os subtibiale intraoperatively, after conservative options were unsuccessful.
Case Presentation: An 18-year-old patient with an injured right ankle was referred to our clinic after failed attempts to resolve his symptoms conservatively. Based on our initial clinical and radiographic examination, the patient was continued on a conservative treatment plan assuming, it was a case of unsuccessful fracture union. After almost a year of failed conservative treatments, surgery was offered to the patient, with the understanding that the bone fragment might either be fused or completely removed based on intraoperative diagnosis. At surgery, it was observed that the bone fragment had the characteristic of an Os subtibiale. It presented as a round, smooth structure with well-formed cortical boundaries, and minimal attachment to the distal tibia. A diagnosis of symptomatic Os subtibiale was made intraoperatively, which was then successfully excised using standard orthopedic instrumentation. The patient healed uneventfully and reported a pain free, normal ankle range of motion at latest follow-up of 18 months.
Conclusion: Accurate diagnosis of O
Limb Salvage Surgery in Fungating Giant Cell Tumors: A Report of Three Cases

Introduction: The WHO defines giant cell tumor as a benign locally aggressive neoplasm with metastasizing capacity and aggressive behavior. Very rarely, these tumors are seen fungating, mostly when neglected. But when they do, the treatment option commonly conferred is amputation of the limb which is disabling and traumatizing.
Case Report: We report three cases of fungating limb masses (proximal tibia, distal fibula, and distal radius) diagnosed with giant cell tumor histologically, undergoing limb saving surgeries with various reconstruction techniques to endorse a good quality of life and functioning limb.
Conclusion: Our study is one of the earliest to report medium-term follow-up after such limb salvage procedure. We recommend that salvage procedures should be considered in giant cell tumors even in the presence of fungation if there is no neurovascular encasement.

Prominent Resident’s Ridge as a Potential Cause of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Impingement: A Case Report
Authors: Dhillon Mandeep Singh , Hooda Aman , Rathod Pratik M
Published: June 2021

Introduction: The resident’s ridge is an arthroscopic landmark that is consistent with the anterior border of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) femoral attachment. The identification of the landmark allows for accurate graft placement.
Case Report: We report a case of a 30-year athletic individual with an ACL-deficient knee, who had an abnormally large resident’s ridge, abutting the midsubstance of the torn ACL; the residual femoral attachment was behind the ridge. Resection and burring of this ridge were needed to expose the posterior aspect of the intercondylar notch; even after bone-patellar tendon-bone graft placement, some additional removal of bone had to be done to reduce graft impingement on this area in extension.
Conclusion: Abnormal resident’s ridge may be misleading about the anatomy of the lateral femoral condyle area. Appropriate resection of abnormal bone is the key to the identification of femoral footprint and graft placement. We speculate that this bony projection may even have contributed to the ACL injury, and extra bone had to be removed to minimize subsequent impingement.

Published: June 2021

Introduction: Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a rare complication of total knee replacement (TKR), yet it is a serious and debilitating condition. Bacterial infection accounts for the majority of cases and fungal infection is estimated to cause 1% of all prosthesis infection.
Case Report: This case presents a 60years female, who presented to our outpatient orthopedic clinic complaining of right knee pain, swelling, and hotness. The physical examination revealed redness, hotness, restricted range of movement, and tibial loosening, 9 months following TKR revision. Culture of the joint aspirate showed growth of “Candida parapsilosis” and second aspirate confirmed the diagnosis. The patient then underwent two stages revision surgery with placement of amphotericin B loaded cement, to maintain high local antifungal concentration in addition to decrease the side effects of amphotericinB infusion such as thrombophlebitis and the more serious systemic effect as nephrotoxicity. The post-operative course was uneventful, with gradual improvement and restoration of normal movement range.
Conclusion: Fungal PJI is a rare complication of TKR, yet it results in severe debilitating symptoms and impairment of the patient functional capacity. Careful evaluation of the patient followed by a detailed workup is necessary for the identification of the underlying causative micro-organism. Two-stage revision surgery with antifungal loaded cement spacer and antifungal therapy currently is the standard of management. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first fungal PJI following total knee arthroplasty reported in Jordan.
