Authors: Maulana Muhammad Iqbal , Primadian Akmal , Pancawati Julieta , Bangun Kristaninta
Published: January 2019

Background: In the last decade, there are various methods of bone grafting in plastic surgery. Cancellous bone is more often used as bone graft than cortical bone due to its high osteoconductivity and osteogenic capability. The synthetic materials for bone graft such as tricalcium phospate (TCP) and hydroxy-apatite can be use as new alternative for bone grafting surgery.

Methods: The PubMed®  databases were searched using the terms: ‘bone graft OR bone grafting’ AND ‘cancellous bone OR iliac crest OR tibia’ AND ‘tricalcium phospate OR tricalciumphospate OR tri calcium phospate’, restricted to English language, and to a publication period from January 2010 to January 2017. The inclusion criteria were any kind of research paper that compared the utility of TCP synthetic graft and autograft as a bone graft.

Results: Out of 139 selected studies, only 8 met the inclusion criteria.  In 6 publications TCP graft has similar outcome and in 1 publication have a better result in reducing post operative complication. 

Conclusion: TCP graft can be used as substitution for autograft in particular clinical conditions and surgical methods.

Published: January 2019

The report presents two experiments carried out in Budker Institute for obtaining the maximum plasma beta (ratio of the plasma pressure to magnetic field pressure) in axially symmetric magnetic field. The experiments are based on injection of powerful focused neutral beams with high neutral power density in the plasma. The produced fast ion population significantly increases the plasma pressure. It the axially symmetric GDT experiment (Gas Dynamic Trap) the plasma beta exceeded 0.6 at the fast ion turning points. The CAT experiment (Compact Axisymmetric Toroid) is being prepared for obtaining a plasmoid with extremely high diamagnetism in axially symmetric magnetic field. Reversal of magnetic field in the plasmoid is possible in this experiment.

Authors: Prudente Clese Mary , Abbade Celina Márcia De Souza
Published: January 2019

Entre os diversos campos de estudos linguísticos, a Onomástica – ramo da Lexicologia que estuda os nomes próprios de pessoas (antropônimos) e de lugares (topônimos) – representa uma fonte de estudo da língua e sua relação com o patrimônio cultural de um povo. Considerando que, em sua formação, além de influências linguísticas, um topônimo recebe interferências externas, originárias de condições geográficas, históricas, políticas, religiosas e sociais, identifica-se, através do estudo toponímico, a relação existente entre o léxico de uma língua e a cultura do povo que a fala. Nessa perspectiva, analisa-se, pelo exercício do trabalho lexicológico, os 169 topônimos dos municípios do estado da Bahia inseridos nos volumes XX e XXI da Enciclopédia dos Municípios Brasileiros, publicada pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE) em 2 de julho de 1958, a fim de comprovar que traços de identidade e de cultura são neles conservados, podendo contribuir para a preservação da memória da região. Para a análise do corpus, utilizou-se a taxionomia proposta por Dick (1990) para um trabalho toponímico, registrando-se os dados coletados em fichas lexicográfico-toponímicas. A análise desenvolvida indica a relação dos topônimos com o ambiente cultural em que estão inseridos e permite verificar os aspectos que envolvem a língua, a cultura e a identidade das regiões analisadas.
DIET AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AS A UNIVERSAL FOUNDATION FOR CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT AND LIFELONG HEALTH
Authors: LEITÃO RAQUEL BEATRIZ
Published: January 2019

There is strong evidence that good nutrition and regular physical activity reduce the risk of several short-term health problems like anaemia or obesity, while also preventing long-term diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis or cardiovascular diseases. It is important, however, to analyse this relationship under a holistic approach to the concept of health, which goes far beyond disease prevention and comprises well-being. From this perspective, health can be seen as the condition that allows the individual to express his full potential as a human being, considering its interdependent dimensions: physical, intellectual, emotional, social, spiritual, vocational, financial and environmental. A healthy lifestyle, including not only diet and physical activity, but also sleeping patterns, as well as other factors that have influence on mental and social well-being, is crucial for an optimal child development. The present analysis focuses on children´s diet and physical activity as key determinants of health under a life-course approach. We discuss the early origins of health and disease, along with factors associated with the “building” of diet and physical activity habits that set the foundations for lifelong health.

Researches on Inertial Mechatronic Motion Analysis Systems, Based on MEMS
Authors: Badea Cristian Radu
Published: January 2019

The aim of this paper is to provide an introduction into the inertial motion analysis field, focusing its attention on the analysis that is performed using modern mechatronic inertial motion capture systems, highlighting both the advantages and drawbacks of using such a system and outlining the main constituent elements of these systems as well as the necessary steps to be carried out in order to be able to accomplish such analysis.

A modern mechatronic inertial motion analysis system’s evolution it’s based on MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems) sensory network, each of which contains a combination of accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer. The signals from these MEMS are processed, by a microcontroller, using advanced algorithms in order to provide accurate data regarding body’s segments kinematics, global positioning and magnetic field. Those data are being transferred to a biomechanical model for the analysis. Despite its tremendous advantages, such as portability and real-time analysis capabilities, over alternative motion analysis systems, such as optical or mechanical systems, that based on external transmitters and/or video camera networks, restricting their use to special laboratory conditions and/or large workspace, mechatronic inertial systems are not based on an external infrastructure, they present a major disadvantage, namely the positional drift. The estimation of the human subject body’s segments positions and orientation, absolutely requires an initial calibration procedure, called „sensor to segment calibration”, that starts from the positional and orientation information received from the MEMS network, which are then transferred onto a biomechanical (scaled) model of the human body.
“How to become a woman without turninginto a Barbie”: Change-of-state verbconstructions and their role in Spanish as a Foreign Language
Authors: Ibarretxe-Antuñano Iraide , Cheikh-Khamis Fátima
Published: January 2019

Pseudo-copulative change-of-state (PCOS) verbs are predicates that involve a change in the composition of an entity undergoing a particular event. Due to their complex linguistic nature, these verbs are not easy to be accounted for and consequently, they represent a real challenge to language teachers and learners. First, this paper critically examines the specialized L1 and L2 literature on PCOS verbs in Spanish. Then, it is shown that previous studies are unable to provide a unanimous theory, but rather offer heterogeneous explanations that are full of exceptions and overlook semantic nuances. The second part of this work presents a corpus-based constructional study of the PCOS verbal structure [Vcl+NP] in two PCOS verbs,hacerse‘make.cl’andvolverse‘turn.cl’. It is argued that a multi-level family of PCOS constructions captures both the specificity of fully-saturated constructions (María se hizo mujer‘María became a woman’), as well as the more general abstract patterns ([Subject PCOS-verb Object]). This constructional approach offers a unified and motivated explanation for these PCOS verbs that can be very useful for Spanish as a Foreign Language (SFL).
The Right of the Governed: Foucault’s Theoretical Political Turn
Authors: Ferreira-Neto João Leite
Published: January 2019

This paper aims to understand the theoretical-political turn of Foucault constructed from 1978, which led him to a distancing from the Maoist left and to a return to the notion of subjectivity within a perspective of liberty, in the context of his governmentality studies. The historical-institutional aspects relating to his theoretical and political shift will be discussed, with basis on biographical sources and texts by the author published at that time. The conclusion is that Foucault used both Marxist and neoliberal contributions, avoiding reducing the politics to a confrontation between two projects, but considering it a complex field of plural strategies. He also began to theorize about the rights historically known as the ‘right of the governed,’ led by the question: ‘how to become subject without being subjected?’.
An Improved Shear Stress Monitoring Method in Numerical Direct Shear Tests by Particle Flow Code
Authors: Jiang Yaofei , Wang Liangqing , Wu Qiong , Sun Zihao , Elmo Davide , Zheng Luobin
Published: January 2019

During a direct shear test in particle flow code (PFC; Itasca Consulting Group, Minneapolis, MN) simulation, the initial force is often neglected by the existing methods of monitoring shear stress, which results in a difference between the monitoring data and simulation result. An improved monitoring method, which involves monitoring the resultant force on the left and right walls (specimen boundary) as the shear force, is proposed to monitor the shear stress in this study. The effectiveness of the proposed method is first investigated by comparing the monitoring results with the peak shear strength of sawtooth triangular joints with base angles of 0°, 15°, and 30° and joints with Barton’s standard joint roughness profiles (joint roughness coefficient (JRC) = 5.8, 10.8, and 14.5) as predicted by well-known classical shear models under different normal stress conditions. Additionally, the capabilities of the proposed monitoring method were tested by comparing it with the peak shear strength obtained from laboratory direct shear tests on a real rock joint (JRC = 1.0) under different normal stress levels. Good agreement was found between the results of the numerical models that used the proposed monitoring method and well-known classical shear models as well as laboratory direct shear tests. The proposed method has a highly accurate capacity for determining the shear stress in numerical direct shear tests by PFC. This method has advantages for assessing joints with low roughness coefficients under low normal stress conditions. The results reveal that the proposed method reasonably reflects the shear characteristics of rock joints in numerical direct shear tests. The proposed method also contributes to the calibration of microparameters for a smooth joint model to more accurately represent the rock joint.

Authors: Junaedi Decky Indrawan , Mutaqien Zaenal
Published: January 2019

Preventative management, such as framework-based assessment, considered as the best option for invasive species management. Alternatively, risk assessment can be conducted based on traits of occurred invasive species to build prediction system for invasive risk assessment. This study aimed to test whether trait-based assessment system can differentiate the escaped from non-escaped exotic collections of botanic gardens and to compare the reliability of trait-based versus framework-based risk assessment on differentiating these escaped from non-escaped exotics. In this study, Bayesian logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the reliability of framework-based and trait-based risk assessment systems. For trait-based system, clear effect of leaf trait, height, and dispersal method to escape probability was detected. For framework-based system, clear effect of Tropical Weed Risk Assessment Protocol on escape probability was detected. Leaf trait, dispersal method and height are reliable predictors for escaped probability of botanic gardens exotic collection. The fact that the reliability of trait-based assessment systems is better than the commonly used framework-based system is the main novel finding in this study. This finding implies that trait-based is better than framework-based for invasive species risk assessment approach in Indonesian botanic gardens. Trait-based assessment also a relevant tool to support management with limited resources to conduct adequate early risk assessment.

Published: January 2019

Traffic accidents are one of the causes of high mortality in the community. Based on information from the World Health Organization (WHO) the number of accident victims in each year amounts to 1,300,000 fatalities, this is caused by traffic accidents that exist throughout the world. The police recorded data on accidents that occurred in several regions of East Priangan namely Ciamis and Tasikmalaya Regencies for the 2016-2017 period reaching an accident rate of ± 1500. The analysis that can be done to reduce the intensity of the occurrence of these events is to use data mining processing techniques. The right method is used by looking at the condition of the data obtained, namely the Association Rules method with the calculation of the Apriori Algorithm. This method will look for patterns of data relations that are formed from combinations of an itemset, so that knowledge will appear from large datasets. The pattern of the relationship sought is the linkages of itemset variables involved in the accident by involving 4 variables that describe the identity of the perpetrators, namely gender, age, profession and level of education and 22 attributes of the dataset. The minimum limit of support, confidence and lift ratio values used in the Apriori Algorithm calculation rules is 15%, 70% and 1.1. This value is used to get many rules that have a high level of occurrence accuracy. The results of the combination pattern calculation were 3 times iterations on each number of data in each region, the pattern of associations found in the Tasikmalaya region were the relation of the professional variables and the age of the perpetrator with the attribute of the Student profession dataset and the boundary group ages 16 to 30 years, while for the pattern associations found in the area of Ciamis Regency, namely the relation between age and education level with the attribute dataset of the 16 to 30 year age group and high school education level. The accuracy of the value obtained is calculated manually and uses one of the data mining applications as a comparison of value accuracy, namely Tanagra 1.4.

Günümüzde güncellenen rekabet koşullarında organizasyonlar içinde takım olarak tanımlanabilecek küçük grupların kullanılması kaçınılmaz hale gelmiştir. Yapılan çalışmalar takımların bireysel çalışma modellerine görece daha yüksek üretkenlik becerilerine sahip olduklarını ve çalışan mutluluğu açısından daha yüksek potansiyel taşıdığını göstermektedir. Takımların yüksek performans göstermesi ve hedefledikleri amaçlara ulaşabilmeleri için bazı temel özelliklere sahip olmaları gerekir. Bu çalışma ile “İş dizaynı” , “karşılıklı bağlılık”, “uyuşma”, “bağlam (görev içeriği)” ve “süreç” kavramlarının takım performansına etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu çalışma kapsamında on farklı spor takımının farklı branşlardaki üyelerine etkin takım özellikleri hakkında anket uygulanmış ve bu özelliklerin takım performansına etkileri araştırılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda, uyuşma, bağlam (görev içeriği) ve süreç boyutlarının takımların hem takım başarısına hem de takım etkinliğine önemli derecede olumlu etkisi olduğu görülmüştür.
Combustion and Emission Performance of an HCCI Engine Fuelled by n-Heptane/Toluene Blends at a Low-Load Operating Condition
Authors: Hongsheng Guo  , W. Stuart Neill
Published: January 2019

Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine technology offers high fuel efficiency and extra low nitrogen oxide (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) emissions, which makes it a potential alternative combustion mode to conventional diesel engines. A diesel fuel is usually composed of many classes of hydrocarbons among which aromatic compounds have attracted special attention due to their specific combustion characteristics. Understanding the combustion and emission characteristics of different classes of hydrocarbons is crucial for identifying appropriate diesel fuels suitable for HCCI combustion. Toluene is a typical aromatic compound in a diesel fuel. A study of toluene content may provide implications of the effect of aromatic in a diesel fuel on HCCI combustion. In this paper, the combustion and emission performance of an HCCI engine fuelled by n-heptane/toluene blends at a low load operating condition was investigated by experiment and numerical simulation. A modified Cooperative Fuel Research (CFR) engine and a in-house-developed multi-zone model were employed. The engine was operated at the condition of engine speed of 900 rpm, relative air/fuel ratio of 3.5 and without external exhaust gas recirculation. The investigated fuel blends covered a range from pure n-heptane to 70% toluene by volume. Both experimental and numerical results showed that an increase in toluene fraction in the fuel blend retarded combustion phasing. As a result, the optimal compression ratio, at which thermal efficiency reached its maximum for a fuel blend, increased with increasing toluene fraction. The maximum thermal efficiency increased as the toluene fraction increased from 0 to 50%, but then decreased with further increasing toluene fraction to higher values. The peak pressure rise rate also increased with increasing toluene fraction at a constant combustion phasing. An increase in toluene fraction resulted in an increase in unburned hydrocarbon emissions but had little effect on NOx emissions.
The Swansea RRHiME track: a new curriculum model for embedding rural and remote healthcare into undergraduate medicine programmes

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Many medical programmes around the world seek to provide experiences for their students in rural and remote health, community and primary care, with a view to encouraging future doctors to practice in under resourced and under-doctored areas of the world. New schools (and satellites of existing schools) have been established in rural and remote areas with a view to recruiting students from those areas who will go on to practice there. In these new schools, and in more traditional programmes, the primary curriculum models in use are either short placements in selected areas (including overseas electives) or immersive longitudinal clerkships, typically in a primary/community setting. A wealth of evidence exists of the success of these approaches, however, for many schools, the curriculum is more fixed and there are limited opportunities for introducing what can be seen as more radical change. In this paper, we describe a new approach to curriculum design offered by the Graduate Entry Medicine (GEM) programme at Swansea University Medical School which provides a selected group of students within the cohort with a range of opportunities in rural and remote health embedded within the existing curriculum. The Rural and Remote Health in Medical Education (RRHiME) track has been positively evaluated for 7 years and is transferable to a range of curricula and contexts. The longitudinal evaluation has demonstrated that students experience a prolonged engagement in rural health environments and/or focused on rural and remote health issues, not in terms of spending time in one context but in obtaining a variety of perspectives about, and deepening their understanding of, the issues, challenges and opportunities encountered in rural and remote settings.
An Epidemic of Incompetence: A Critical Review of Addictions Curriculum in Canadian Residency Programs
Authors: Bahji Anees
Published: January 2019

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. In Canada and the United States, the rising number of apparent opioid-related deaths have given to the aptly-named opioid epidemic. Despite the criticism physicians have received for their role in opioid overprescribing, physicians may very well be in the position to vanquish the opioid epidemic. While the importance of the importance of Addictions training in psychiatry and other disciplines has been recognized in Canada at a national level, training resources are scarce and difficult to implement, even when delivered in online formats. Many have speculated that the delivery of high-quality Addictions training has been hampered by multiple roadblocks endemic to the Canadian medical education system, particularly stigma towards individuals with substance use disorders. In navigating the winds of change in the Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME) era, it remains unclear how Addictions will be embraced. To date, there are no defined addictions competencies in the Canadian CBME infrastructure, despite the critical findings of the Association of Faculties of Medicine report in 2017, which was generated in response to the opioid epidemic. Despite these challenges, those who struggle with addiction can lead full, happy, productive lives if they have the right resources. With time, we can only hope that the increasing visibility of addiction will translate to improved training and curricula for the next generation of physicians.

Uma das realidades do ensino de bioquímica é o adensamento dos conteúdos e complexidade interdisciplinar, agravada por uma abordagem exclusiva ou excessivamente expositiva. Diante disso, avaliamos aplicação do Ensino Híbrido Gamificado, baseada na sala de aula invertida (SAI), na melhoria da aprendizagem. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida no curso de Ciências Biológicas/UFRN e teve uma abordagem qualiquantitativa, com acompanhamento e monitoramento dos alunos através de um processo gamificado, para incentivar o engajamento do aluno. Como resultado, cerca de 84% dos alunos declararam aumento do seu interesse pela disciplina e 94% afirmaram que a aprendizagem foi melhor na SAI, o que pode ser evidenciado pelo impacto positivo nas notas avaliativas. Além disso, observou-se que o método contribui para a aprendizagem colaborativa e para a personalização da aprendizagem. Assim, os resultados fornecem dados para uma ampla reflexão sobre a eficácia desse modelo para o Ensino da Bioquímica.

Demografik geçiş sürecinin
etkisiyle dünya genelinde nüfus hızlı bir şekilde yaşlanmaktadır. Nüfusun
yaşlanması son yıllarda hızla gelişen ve üzerinde durulması gereken bir konu
olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu sürecin etkisi birçok açıdan tartışılabileceği
gibi, bazı ampirik çalışmalar yaşam boyu gelir modeli kapsamında nüfusun
yaşlanması ile eşitsizlik arasındaki anlamlı ilişkiyi ortaya koymaktadır. Bu
çalışmanın amacı da demografik geçiş sürecinin etkisiyle söz konusu olan nüfus
yaşlanmasının, OECD ülkelerinde ekonomik refah düzeyindeki eşitsizlik üzerinde
ne ölçüde bir etkisinin olduğunu, 2003-2014 dönemi için hem gelir hem de
tüketim eşitsizliği çerçevesinde analiz etmektir. Bu kapsamda dinamik panel
veri analiz yöntemi uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar 15-64 yaş arası nüfustaki
artışın hem gelir hem de tüketim eşitsizliğini artırdığını ortaya koyarken, 65
yaş üzeri nüfustaki artışın yalnızca gelir eşitsizliğini artırdığı görülmüştür.
