KENTSEL DEVRİM
Authors: Biçakcı Harun
Published: June 2018

1901’den 1991’e uzanan 90 yıllık bir yaşamda birçok önemli kitaplara ve yazılara sahip olan Henri Lefebvre, uzun yıllar görmezden gelinmiştir. Kitaplarının çevirileri de uzun zaman unutulmuştur. Değerlendirmeye alınan Kentsel Devrim kitabı da buna güzel bir örnektir. Orijinalinden tam otuz sene sonra İngilizceye çevrilmiştir. Düşünür ve felsefi boyutunun dışında aynı zamanda siyasal yaşamda da aktif biridir. 1928’de Komünist Parti’ye üye olmuştur. 1940’da direnişe katılmıştır. Bir anlamda denilebilir ki; heybesi hep dolu olarak siyasal yaşamda, hem yazılarıyla hem de mücadelesiyle aktif şekilde yer almıştır. Bu nokta da yazarın kitabın son bölümünde soru cümlesi olarak okurlara yönelttiği ve eleştirdiği durumu daha anlamlı kılmaktadır.

Authors: Da Mota Neto João Colares
Published: June 2018

O artigo tem por objetivo discutir as contribuições que os educadores populares Paulo Freire e Orlando Fals Borda forneceram, com suas obras e trajetórias político-intelectuais, para a formulação de uma pedagogia decolonial no continente latino-americano. A questão-chave que norteia este estudo é: qual o legado de Paulo Freire e Orlando Fals Borda para a constituição de uma pedagogia decolonial na América Latina? Os dados foram obtidos por meio de uma pesquisa de natureza teórica, inscrita nos domínios da história cultural e da história comparada do pensamento social latino-americano. As fontes primárias são as obras de Paulo Freire e Orlando Fals Borda, escritas em distintos momentos de suas trajetórias intelectuais. O artigo está organizado em duas partes centrais, além da introdução e das considerações finais: na primeira, de modo breve, apresenta-se a concepção de pedagogia decolonial adotada; na segunda, a partir desta concepção, perscruta-se o núcleo central das contribuições de Paulo Freire e Orlando Fals Borda para a formulação de uma pedagogia decolonial latino-americana.
Metalenguaje y gramática de algunos juicios cotidianos de verdad en español
Authors: González de Requena Farré Juan Antonio
Published: June 2018

Este artículo pretende ejemplificar los rendimientos metalingü.sticos, metadiscursivos y metacomunicativos del lenguaje cotidiano, mediante una descripción gramatical de algunos juicios de verdad en español. Con ese propósito, se realiza un estudio comparativo de algunas expresiones cotidianas del tipo “La verdad es que p”, “Es verdad que p”, o bien “Esto/Eso es verdad”; específicamente, se analizan los tipos de cláusula relacional, los movimientos retóricos, el contenido de los juicios, la realización gramatical del término verdad y el ámbito de la posible negación. Al poner de manifiesto que el lenguaje natural dispone de recursos semióticos u opciones de significación para volverse reflexivamente sobre sí mismo, este trabajo cuestiona la pretensión de disponer de metalenguajes formalizados de orden superior.

Authors: Mateo Gallego Carmen , Ruiz Yepes Guadalupe
Published: June 2018

Este artículo de investigación compara los resultados de un análisis sobre la evolución de la interlengua escrita de dos grupos de aprendientes de español como lengua extranjera (ele). Los participantes realizaron cuatro redacciones a lo largo de un semestre seguidas respectivamente de una sesión de terapia de errores. El grupo de prueba realizó las terapias mediante la plataforma online Kahoot, que introduce la gamificación y permite la metodología mobile learning, mientras que el grupo de control realizó actividades tradicionales en papel. Las profesoras señalaron los errores de las redacciones mediante el criterio minimal marking (Haswell, 1983) y seguidamente los estudiantes procedieron a su autocorrección. Aunque con los dos métodos se obtuvieron resultados positivos, el grupo de prueba muestra una evolución más notable en cuanto a la reducción del número de errores de cada escrito.

A novel technique for fast determination of K in partitioning cluster analysis
Authors: Cebeci Zeynel , Cebeci Cagatay
Published: June 2018

The input argument k refers to the number of clusters is needed to start all of the probabilistic and possibilistic partitioning algorithms. Although some progress has been made toward its solution, determining this user-specified argument is still one of the main issues in partitioning cluster analysis. Therefore, fast and even automated techniques are needed for determining k in partitioning clustering. In this paper, for determination of k, we proposed the KPEAKS, a simple and fast technique based on the descriptive statistics of peak counts of the features for clustering multidimensional datasets. The experiments on the synthetic and real datasets revealed that the mean of the largest two peak counts and the mean of third quartile and maximum peak count of the features can be successfully used for the estimates of k.

Authors: Parmar Ishwar Singh , Soni Peeyush , Salin Krishna R. , Kuwornu John K. M.
Published: June 2018

This study examines farmers’ access to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and Non-ICT systems in the semi-arid region in the state of Rajasthan in India. The Primary data was collected from 133 farmers consisting of 68 ICT users, 62 Non-ICT users, and three moderate users. The empirical results of the multiple regression analysis revealed that education level and landholding size (in acres) influences farmers’ access to ICT and non-ICT systems. However, household labor variable adversely affects access to technology. It also concludes that comparatively female farmers have lesser access to ICT. The empirical results of the multiple regression analysis revealed that education level and landholding size (in acres) influences farmers’ access to ICT and non-ICT systems. However, household labor variable adversely affects access to technology. It also concludes that comparatively female farmers have lesser access to ICT.
The study recommends educating and sensitizing farmers about the benefits of ICT, coordination between government and private sectors for the effectual development of ICT, creating effective linkages of Krishi Vigyan Kendras (Farm Science Centers)(KVKs), Agriculture Extension as a profession for farmers and 24×7 television and radio channels dedicated to agriculture. This study can be used for productive implementation of ICT and Non-ICT sources considering the socio-economic characteristics of farmers in the similar situation.

Towel curettage for a new definition of postpartum period after cesarean section
Authors: Elsharkawy Suzan
Published: June 2018

Background: The objective of the present study was to compare effect of towel curettage as a new technique, to no curettage in caesarean section on postpartum period duration and hemoglobin level.Methods: Prospective, randomized controlled trial included 403 eligible participants that were attending Elshatby maternity hospital in the duration of this study (2016) and scheduled for primary caesarean section. The patients were randomized into two groups A and B. Group A had towel curettage after manual separation of the placenta, where the decidua and the placental bed were thoroughly curetted by a surgical towel. Group B had manual separation of placenta only.Results: Towel curettage actually shortens the puerperal bleeding days by almost a week and the volume of blood loss by around half a gram/dl, a situation that could be of great concern in the developing countries where iron deficiency anemia can be considered endemic.Conclusions: Suzan towel curettage is a new, simple, cheap methods that deceases duration of puerperium and the amount of useless blood loss post-partum, which may save a good percentage of women from suffering the negative influences of iron deficiency anemia.

Published: June 2018

Background: Antenatal exercise (ANE) has been reported to improve postpartum health outcomes in women. However, postpartum health related outcomes of ANE have been inconsistent in previous studies and have not been studied in a Nigerian population. This study assessed the influence of ANE on postpartum health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of Nigerian women.Methods: 350 purposively selected women participated in this cohort study. During the last two pregnancy trimesters, participants completed a questionnaire assessing ANE practice/pattern while the Short Form (SF-36) questionnaire was used to assess HRQOL during postpartum. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with alpha level set at 0.05.Results: Majority (82.9%) of the women practiced ANE. Women who did not exercise showed significantly (p = 0.001) higher general health scores than those who did not. Women who exercised for <30 mins also showed significantly (p = 0.040) higher general health scores, as compared to those who exercised for ≥30 mins.  HRQOL was negatively correlated with each of practice and duration of ANE.Conclusions: It was concluded that ANE practice and patterns did not improve postpartum HRQOL. Improved education and supervision of ANE is recommended for improved postpartum health outcomes.

Published: June 2018

Background: The primary objective of the present study is to determine the episiotomy rate and factors associated with practice of episiotomy at the maternities in Bukavu town, South-Kivu, DRC.Methods: A case-control study was carried out the women who underwent the episiotomy (case) and those which did not undergo episiotomy (control) over one 12 months period between January to December 2015. A total of 1878 women had a vaginal delivery at a rate of one case for one control (939 cases and 939 controls) were included. Their medical files were exploited. The factors associated with episiotomy were performed by logistic regression.Results: The rate of episiotomy was 20.4%. It was found that after the logistic regression, the Primiparity (OR = 4,5;95% CI:2,31-4,49), the existence of a foetal distress (OR = 4,2;IC to 95% CI :2,36-5,29), the antecedent of episiotomy (OR = 3,9;95% CI:2,83-7,07), private character of maternity (OR= 3,3; 95% CI :2,12-6,30) and the fact that the childbirth was directed by a doctor (OR = 2,3; 95% CI :1,85-5,08) were strongly associated with the practice of the episiotomy in our medium of study.Conclusions: This study showed UA-S/D ratio and UA-RI>2SD are significant predictors of perinatal deaths and immediate neonatal resuscitation in preeclampsia. Acute fetal distress in labour or neonatal nursery admission could not be predicted.

Background: To highlight common pattern of congenital malformation seen at hospital population of tertiary care center in Maharashtra.Methods: The study was a descriptive prospective study and conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology of government medical college Latur, Maharashtra for a period of six months. Study includes all womens coming for 2nd trimester MTP due to congenital anomalies in foetus and women’s admitted in labour having anomalous foetus. Details of maternal age, parity, type of anomaly present and sex of fetus were noted.Results: Total babies born in the study period were 3482 (including the second trimester abortions). Total babies with congenital abnormality were 75, making the prevalence 2.15%. 10 cases (13.33) had multiple anomalies involving more than one system. The predominant system involved was central nervous system 40 (53.33%) followed by gastrointestinal system 15 (20%). In this study male babies affected more than females.Conclusions: Prevalence of the congenital anomalies will be definitely higher at tertiary care center and to know prevalence in community, more community based studies are required. Increased awareness about preventable risk factors may help in reducing the incidence of congenital anomalies.
A study of the factors affecting the receding age of onset of menarche in young girls
Authors: Dharmarha Noor , Konda Anuradha
Published: June 2018

Background: Present study highlights that the worldwide trend of declining age at menarche is also seen in urban Indian girls. The aim of the study was to evaluate the age of menarche and to find out the factors associated with the timing of menarche.Methods: The study was an observational cross sectional study. 258 healthy, menstruating, adolescent girls aged 10-16 years, were selected by simple random sampling. Pre-designed structured questionnaires were distributed after taking informed consent. Anthropometric measurements were taken using standard techniques. The average age of menarche was calculated. The association of the age at menarche with the proposed factors was analyzed using chi square test and Pearson’s correlation coefficient. “P value” less than 0.05 was considered as significant.Results: The mean age at menarche was found to be 12.23±1.09 years. The study found a strong association between the respondent’s age at menarche and her sister’s age at menarche (p=0.002). The study also found a strong association between age at menarche and the socioeconomic status (p=0.021). This study however found no association of menarcheal age with factors like birth weight, type of diet, frequency of milk intake, body mass index, waist hip ratio, amount of exercise, unstable environment at home and psychosocial stress.Conclusions: The worldwide trend of declining age at menarche is also seen in urban Indian girls. This trend underlines the importance of investigating the factors associated with it and studying the future implications of a lower age at menarche.

Authors: Naik Manuja , Bhargava Meena , Yadav Kalpana
Published: June 2018

Background: The proposed study was carried out to determine incidence of congenital malformations, incidence of CM in live and still births, risk factors attributable, maternal and perinatal outcome, to frame the recommendations for early detection and prevention of CM.Methods: Prospective observational study. The cases selected from those attending the antenatal O.P.D. and those admitted in wards of Obs and Gynae Dept., GMH who delivered congenitally malformed baby dated from August 2013-July 2014. A detailed history, examination, relevant investigations was done.Results: Out of 9014 deliveries, 110 babies had CM. The incidence of CMs was found to be 1.22%. Maximum number (24.55%) of CM s were of CNS, most common was NTD (Anencephaly). Incidence of CMs was more in still births, mothers of age >40 yrs and <20 yrs, of illiterate, educated <8 std., house wives, rural areas, unbooked and multigravida. Most CM fetuses were delivered prematurely (67.27%). CVS and CNS systems were more commonly involved in consanguinous married couples. CM was associated with drug intake, 1.82% on antiepileptics, 1.82% on antihypertensives, 3.64% on oral hypoglycaemics,0.91% on NSAID,6.36% on unspecified drugs. 12.73% CMs were seen in passive smokers, 6.36% consumed alcohol, 17.27% pan/gutka intake. Majority were delivered by vaginal route, maximum fetuses (82.73%) were in vertex presentation, maximum (67.27%) CMs were in male babies.Conclusions: Many malformations arise because of the interplay of genetic, environmental and multifactorial factors. The stress imposed may be reduced considerably by understanding the causes of the malformations and adopting the management strategies outlined for the prevention or reduction of CM.

Published: June 2018

Background: Female sterilization, which is also called tubal ligation or tubal occlusion, is a surgical procedure which aims at permanent contraception. When female sterilization is performed at the time of birth with caesarean delivery or very soon after vaginal birth, such sterilization is called puerperal or postpartum sterilization. This study is to analyse the puerperal sterilization done in our hospital regarding age, living children, timing of sterilization and complications.Methods: A retrospective analytical study of 6069 cases of puerperal sterilization performed over a period of 5 years from January 2013 to December 2017.Results: During the study period, 6069 cases of puerperal sterilization cases were done. Out of which 4714 (77.67%) patients had undergone caesarean tubectomy, 1355 (22.32%) patients had undergone mini-laparotomy. Maximum number of patients was in the age group of 20-29yrs (80.3%). Majority of patients (68.62%) had two living children. Complications were encountered in 32.38% of patients.Conclusions: The findings in this study showed that the incidence of voluntary surgical contraception is low. Adequate education and counseling will lead to acceptance of the procedure and consequently, a reduction in high maternal mortality from unwanted pregnancies.

Ectopic pregnancy is a life-threatening condition occurring in 1-2% of all pregnancies. The most common site of implantation for an ectopic pregnancy is the fallopian tube. Authors report a case of recurrent ipsilateral ectopic pregnancy following right partial salpingectomy of a 29-Year-Old woman that led to tubal rupture. The pregnancy was conceived spontaneously. Diagnostic of ruptured ectopic pregnancy was done after clinical and ultrasonography examination. The presence of a massive hemoperitoneum with a positive pregnancy urinary test that lead us to the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy. She underwent a laparotomy for a suspicion of ruptured ectopic pregnancy. The ectopic pregnancy was identified in the left remnant fallopian tube. Partial salpingectomy, removal of tubal stump, and resection of the uterine cornua, was performed. The postoperative recovery was uneventful. She has stayed for five days at the Hospital. All patients, even though they have already received a definitive contraception by tubal section and ligature or unilateral or by bilateral salpingectomy for any reason, must seek an ectopic pregnancy in case of pelvic pain, vaginal bleeding and/ or amenorrhea. Authors propose to carry a total salpingectomy after a chosen surgical treatment.

Authors: Walter Sophie L. , Ali Aamna , Killick Rowena , Day Charlotte , Barrows Michelle , Cahill David J.
Published: June 2018

Pre-eclampsia is a well-recognised complication of human pregnancy however case reports suggest that it also affects non-human primates. The authors present the case of a primigravid western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) who developed behavioural changes, significant proteinuria, and ultrasound features of suspected fetal distress at term, three days prior to her estimated due date. A working diagnosis of pre-eclampsia was made, and the baby was delivered by emergency caesarean section. In spite of a prolonged recovery complicated by sepsis, anaemia and persistent proteinuria in the mother, both mother and baby made a good recovery. This case highlights how the application of basic principles of obstetric medicine and collaboration between obstetricians and veterinarians in the care of captive gorillas resulted in the successful management of pregnancy complications.

Published: June 2018

Diabetic ketoacidosis in pregnancy is a rare but potential life-threatening condition for the mother and the fetus. It tends to occur latter in pregnancy and is more common in patients with pregestational diabetes. Obstetricians should be aware of the events that can trigger diabetic ketoacidosis in pregnancy. Prompt recognition and aggressive treatment of this condition are essential in order to reduce perinatal mortality and morbidity. The authors present a case of a pregnant woman with type 1 diabetes with a poor surveillance of pregnancy and noncompliance to treatment that develops severe diabetic ketoacidosis at 34 weeks of gestation.
Umbilical true knot: a case study
Authors: Kommuri Hima Bindu , Diana G. Valsa
Published: June 2018

Umbilical cord true knot is a rare condition which affects about 1% of all pregnancies. The incidence is not only very low, but it is often undiagnosed antenatally when present despite the availability of prenatal ultrasonography as in this case, where the diagnosis of true knot of umbilical cord was missed even when an ultrasonogram was done 1 week prior to the presentation of patient with decreased fetal movements to opd. Majority of times it does not have any relation with fetal outcome but in certain occasions it is associated with intrauterine fetal demise as in present case presented here. Risk factors include long umbilical cord, polyhydramnios, small fetus, male fetus, etc.

Eighty abstracts of the research articles written by the students were collected using purposive sampling. The frequency of occurrence of each move was statistically calculated and tallied. Two ESL (English as a second language) researchers validated the data classification. The findings revealed that 53.75% of the abstracts were found out to be written in accordance with the structure. Most abstracts give information on the purpose, methodology, and findings of the associated article. About half of the articles omit introduction of the topic and discussion of the findings. Moves “product” and “conclusion” were missing in a few abstracts. The students’ lengthy “introduction” move and over brief “product” move were found in most abstracts. Some rhetorical moves appeared to have higher incidence of occurrences than the others. The findings lend further insights into the needs of professional development among academics, particularly in academic research report writing.  Keywords: rhetorical moves, student’s article abstracts  INDONESIAN ABSTRACT Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan abstrak skripsi mahasiswa dilihat dari sudut pandang retorik- meneliti apakah abstrak-abstrak tersebut memiliki ‘rhetorical moves’ yang esensial dan apakah ‘rhetorical moves’dipresentasikan dalam urutan sesuai dengan klasifikasi lima langkah Hyland (Pendahuluan, Tujuan, Metode, Produk, dan Kesimpulan) gerakan retoris. Delapan puluh abstrak artikel penelitian yang ditulis oleh siswa dikumpulkan dengan menggunakan purposive sampling. Frekuensi terjadinya setiap ‘move’ dihitung. Dua peneliti ESL (bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa kedua) memvalidasi klasifikasi data. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa 53,75% abstrak ditemukan ditulis sesuai dengan strukturnya. Sebagian besar abstrak memberikan informasi tentang tujuan, metodologi, dan temuan dari artikel yang terkait. Sekitar setengah dari artikel menghilangkan pengenalan topik dan diskusi tentang temuan. Tidak terdapat Move "produk" dan "kesimpulan" dalam beberapa abstrak. Ditemukan pula move "pengantar" yang panjang dan "produk" yang singkat pada kebanyakan abstrak. Beberapa move tampaknya ditemukan lebih banyak daripada yang lain. Temuan ini memberikan wawasan lebih lanjut mengenai kebutuhan pengembangan profesional di kalangan akademisi, terutama dalam penulisan laporan penelitian akademis.Kata kunci: Rhetorical Moves, Abstrak  Skripsi  Mahasiswa

A narrativa como categoria de análise no ensino de História
Authors: Das Chagas Martins Carmentilla
Published: June 2018

A vida social em suas múltiplas dimensões vem se reconfigurando com o pragmatismo delineado pelas tecnologias da comunicação e informação e pelo mercado. Tempo e espaço foram revolucionados pelos fluxos e mobilidades: nas redes sociais circulam informações que fazem emergir sociabilidades distendidas; as experiências no tempo são qualificadas pela permanência do transitório, portanto, são vivências compassadas pelo instante (Hartog, 2014).
“Apesar de você, amanhã há de ser outro dia”? a oposição à ditadura militar em livros didáticos de História
Authors: Cezar Coelho Mauro , Pleres Ribeiro e Silva Jefferson
Published: June 2018

o presente artigo concorre para os estudos sobre a narrativa didática, por meio da análise de conteúdos relativos à ditadura militar, em livros didáticos do Ensino Fundamental, publicados entre os anos 1993 e 2013. Nosso objetivo foi perceber a relação entre o saber veiculado por eles e a produção historiográfica recente, relativa à temática da ditadura. Verificamos que, a despeito dos avanços vividos pela produção didática, desde a introdução dos processos de avaliação, as narrativas didáticas dedicam pouco espaço aos homens e mulheres que se opuseram ao regime. Argumentamos que a distância que as narrativas guardam em relação à produção historiográfica é um indício importante a justificar esse silêncio.
Cerco à liberdade: a complexa dinâmica do poder nos EUA
Authors: Azevedo Cecilia
Published: June 2018

Liberty and Coercion: The Paradox of American Government from the Founding to the Present, publicado em 2015 pela prestigiosa Princeton University Press, se impõe como uma obra fundamental para todos os interessados em História dos Estados, como também o são dois livros anteriores do autor - The rise and fall of the New Deal Order (organizado em conjunto com Steve Fraser) e The American Crucible: Race and Nation in the Twentieth Century. Atualmente na Universidade de Cambridge, na Inglaterra, Gary Gerstle é sem dúvida nenhuma um dos maiores nomes da historiografia dos EUA, laureado com os mais relevantes prêmios ao longo de sua trajetória acadêmica no país. Após se notabilizar na História Social, enveredando por questões também caras à História Cultural, como a das identidades coletivas, Gerstle, com o livro em tela, contribui para o ímpeto recente da História Política, especificamente dos estudos sobre as instituições governamentais, tema que não despertou muito entusiasmo nos historiadores de sua geração.

A segunda edição de 2018 apresenta artigos relacionados à temática da sustentabilidade e das mudanças climáticas. A respeito do primeiro tema, os estudos concentram-se em área urbana e não urbana, enquanto no segundo, na identificação dos impactos projetados pelo Painel Intergovernamental sobre Mudanças Climáticas (IPCC) nas edificações.Em virtude da ação antrópica e visando criar condições para o desenvolvimento sustentável nos empreendimentos de implantação das rodovias, um dos estudos ressalta a necessidade de aplicação de métodos de Avaliação de Impacto Ambiental (AIA). Já dentro do meio urbano, há estudo que foca na necessidade de controlar a emissão de poluentes nos corpos d’água, enquanto outro apresenta caracterização fisiográfica e do uso e ocupação do solo das microbacias urbanas, demonstrando a influencia das ações do homem neste ecossistema. Há ainda estudo que indica a necessidade de planejamento integrado para garantir uma mobilidade urbana sustentável dentro das cidades.Quanto ao impacto estabelecido pelo IPCC, o estudo identifica a necessidade de se preocupar com os efeitos do aquecimento global nas estratégias passivas estabelecidas para algumas zonas bioclimáticas brasileiras. Os autores sugerem a necessidade de adaptar construtivamente as edificações para torna-las resilientes ao impacto às mudanças projetadas.Por fim, destaca-se esta edição é mais um esforço da equipe editorial em fornecer maior abrangência nacional à revista, focada na meta de elevação do seu conceito junto a CAPES. Ivan Julio Apolonio CallejasEditor chefe

Stretchable Supercapacitors Based on Carbon Nanotubes-Deposited Rubber Polymer Nanofibers Electrode with High Tolerance against Strain
Authors: Yoon Juyeon , Lee Joonhyung , Hur Jaehyun
Published: June 2018

We report a new fabrication method for a fully stretchable supercapacitor based on single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT)-coated electrospun rubber nanofibers as stretchable supercapacitor electrodes. The deposition conditions of SWCNT on hydrophobic rubber nanofibers are experimentally optimized to induce a uniform coating of SWCNT. For surfactant-assisted coating of SWCNT, both water contact angle and sheet resistance were the lowest compared to the cases with other surface treatment methods, indicating the most effective coating approach. The excellent electromechanical properties of this electrode under the stretching condition is demonstrated by the measurement of Young’s modulus and normalized sheet resistance. This superb tolerance of the electrode with respect to stretching results from i) high aspect ratios of both nanofiber templates and the SWCNT conductors, ii) highly elastic nature of rubbery nanofiber, and iii) strong adherence of SWCNT-coated nanofiber on the elastic ecoflex substrate. Electrochemical and electromechanical measurements on the stretchable supercapacitor devices reveal that the volumetric capacitance (15.2 F cm-3 at 0.021 A cm-3) of the unstretched state is maintained for strains of up to 40 %. At this level of strain, the capacitance after 1,000 charge/discharge cycles is not significantly reduced. The high stability of our stretchable device suggests potential future applications in various types of wearable energy storage devices.
Scapular Winging in the Pediatric Patient
Authors: Klyce Walter , Thome Andrew , Gil Joseph A. , Solga Patricia
Published: June 2018

* Scapular winging is a rare condition that can lead to considerable functional impairment and cosmetic deformity but is frequently missed or misdiagnosed.

* Scapular winging is of particular concern in the pediatric patient given its association with birth injuries, perinatal thoracic operations, inherited disorders, and potential malignancies.

* Primary scapular winging may develop from nerve palsy, an osseous abnormality, or a soft-tissue defect.

* Secondary scapular winging is typically due to glenohumeral dysfunction but can also be voluntary or habitual.
