Authors: Culpepper Sylvia , Leonik Conrad , Mosalakanti Saijayanth , Rumps Mia V. , Mulcahey Mary K.
Published: June 2024

Introduction:

The quality and volume of information on orthopaedic surgery residency program websites are helpful for informed decision making of prospective applicants. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the content on orthopaedic surgery residency program websites and identify areas for improvement.

Methods:

In November 2023, 203 orthopaedic surgery residency programs were reviewed using the Association of American Medical Colleges Residency Explorer tool. Fourteen nonfunctional websites were excluded, leaving n = 189. Websites were assessed for 11 variables: resources for assisting resident research (eg, biomechanics laboratory, research assistant, and advisors), residents' past institutional affiliations, current resident profiles (including hometown and interests), alumni data, fellowship matches, American Board of Orthopedic Surgery I/II pass rates, Alpha Omega Alpha Society affiliation, target United States Medical Licensing Examination/ Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Learning Exam Step 2 scores, educational activities (journal club, grand rounds, didactics), evaluation methods, and mentorship.

Results:

Website variables differed markedly among identified program types, which included community programs, university programs (UPs), and affiliated programs (APs). Disparities were noted in the disclosure of residents' previous institutions (P = 0.001), the availability of alumni names (P = 0.001), research resources (P = 0.001), academic activities (P = 0.007), assigned mentorship programs (P = 0.006), and fellowship match information (P = 0.027). Notably, community programs shared statistically significantly less information in these areas compared with UPs and APs (P = 0.001). While there was a proportionate sharing of information between UPs and APs, UPs exhibited a slightly higher overall percentage of websites sharing more detailed information.

Conclusion:

The quality and comprehensiveness of information on orthopaedic surgery residency program websites vary markedly. Most of the orthopaedic surgery residency programs provided information on residents' past institutions and academic activities. However, very few provided information on designated mentorship programs or objective measures such as target Step 2 examination scores and ABOS pass rates. Improving the quality of information available on program websites will enhance transparency and consistency, enabling prospective applicants to make more informed decisions about where to apply and interview.

Various communications of laryngeal nerves with literature review
Authors:   Korean Intraoperative Neural Monitoring Society, Choi Jung bum
Published: June 2024

The vagus nerve gives rise to the superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) and recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) in the neck. Despite progress in the development of new techniques of head and neck surgeries, laryngeal muscles are often paralyzed postoperatively due to iatrogenic injury to the laryngeal nerves. Therefore, the understanding of the complexity and variability of the anatomy of larynx is important to reduce the risk of nerve injury. And a thorough understanding of the complex anastomoses between the laryngeal nerves is crucial in patients with laryngeal muscle paralysis. In these reasons, we review the anatomic anastomosis of laryngeal nerve connections and their functions with literature review.
Far-Field Localization for RIS Empowered Wireless Systems Leveraging Beamforming
Authors: Alhafid Abdulrahaman , Ali Y , Younis Sedki
Published: June 2024

Reconfigurable intelligent Surfaces (RISs) have lately received a lot of interest due to their capability of providing a smarter controlled radio environment. This paper investigates the use of RIS beamforming to attain user equipment (UE) localization in far-field propagation with two localization schemes in millimeter-wave (mmWave) with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signaling. The first scheme adopts a single RIS that leverages the time of arrival (ToA) and angle of departure (AoD) measurements. For this model, the impact of various parameters on the localization accuracy are examined. In addition, the Cramer-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB) for the positioning, i.e., the position error bounds (PEB), is derived to be used as benchmark. Also, an efficient multi-RIS aided localization scheme is proposed, in which the use of only AoDs to estimate the UE position is shown to be possible, whereas this was challenging without using multi-RIS scenario. The main contribution of this paper is relieving the complexity of localization algorithm by eliminating the necessity of ToA estimation where consensus-based fusion of AoDs estimations is used. The estimation of AoD from the RIS to the UE is obtained by using the RIS as a beamformer to scan the working area with successive beams. The highest received signal at UE from a particular beam will determine the AoD. The performance of the two localization models - discussed in this paper - are evaluated via extensive numerical simulations. For the first model, the simulation results and PEB demonstrated that increasing the number of beams that swept the region of interest has a significant impact on the accuracy, while using RIS with a large number of elements demonstrated marginal influence on the localization accuracy for a large number of RIS elements. Furthermore, the results reveal that the localization accuracy of the proposed multi-RIS localization scheme outperforms the performance of the first model by increasing the number of RISs and the number of beams. In addition, the proposed scheme benefits from being computationally efficient due to the release of ToA estimation in the first model that requires the computation of inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) of the oversampled version of the received signal for a sufficient number of transmissions and fine-tuning using search optimization to attain accurate estimation

A New Approach to Public Contracting of Sustainable Construction Using Innovation Partnership
Authors:   Lusíada University, Tavares Luís
Published: June 2024

Sustainable public procurement of construction projects is a key objective to fulfill the targets of the EU Green Deal, the new Regulation approved by the European Parliament, and the conditions required by the Facility of Recovery and Resilience approved by EU. However, most of the adopted procedures are based on traditional procedures, open competition, or restricted procedures, which are not appropriate for developing an innovative approach aiming for more ambitious sustainable objectives. Innovation partnership is a new procedure introduced by the EU Directives of Public Procurement of 2014 ( Article 31º of 2014/24/UE), and it has been discussed and applied to the development of new products but, unfortunately, its potential has not been studied as a tool to prepare and to award more innovative and sustainable contracts of public works. This is the objective of the research presented in this paper, and a set of guidelines is deduced and discussed to support public contracting authorities to make better use of innovation partnerships.

Published: June 2024

Introduction: We aimed to investigate the surgical outcomes following inguinal and subinguinal urological procedures under deep intravenous sedation (DIVS) with multimodal local anesthesia (LA).
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study from September 2022 to December 2023 including adult patients deemed eligible for day surgery (American Society of Anesthesiologist score 1–3) undergoing radical orchiectomy (RO), microscopic varicocelectomy (MV), or microscopic denervation of spermatic cords (MDSC). All procedures were performed at a single urologic ambulatory surgical center and outpatient clinic, and by a single surgeon (PP). Procedures were performed through a subinguinal or inguinal approach with DIVS and adjunctive multimodal LA. We evaluated intraoperative complications and relevant surgical outcomes and parameters.
Results: A total of 103 patients were included in the analysis with a mean age ± standard deviation of 37.3±9.6. This included 25 patients who underwent RO, 54 patients who underwent MV, and 24 patients who underwent MDSC. All procedures were completed successfully without intraoperative complications. Oncologic outcomes were preserved, fertility outcomes improved, and pain scores reduced similar to the expected rates in the literature.
Conclusions: Our preliminary results demonstrate the safety, effectiveness, and feasibility of performing inguinal and subinguinal urologic procedures under DIVS with LA. These findings suggest that this technique preserves high-quality care while avoiding unnecessary risks of general or spinal anesthesia, representing an opportunity to transfer these cases outside of hospitals’ operating rooms into outpatient ambulatory centers.

Authors: Sanz-Benito Iván , Lázaro-Cantabrana José Luis , Grimalt-Álvaro Carme
Published: June 2024

Como consecuencia de la transformación que ha generado en el sistema educativo la irrupción de las tecnologías digitales, las facultades de Educación se han visto obligadas a incorporar nuevos contenidos relacionados con la competencia digital docente (CDD) y la inclusión digital dentro de sus planes de estudios. El objetivo de esta investigación ha sido el de analizar en qué medida se aborda la inclusión digital en las guías docentes de los grados de Educación Infantil y Primaria de las universidades españolas. Para ello, se ha utilizado la metodología de análisis documental tomando como referencia el modelo COMDID sobre CDD. De los resultados obtenidos se desprende que, a pesar de la importancia que otorgan las universidades al hecho de formar en inclusión digital, son numerosos los currículos que no contemplan un trabajo sistematizado y secuencial de esta competencia. Esto supone que no todo el alumnado universitario recibe los conocimientos necesarios que le permitirán ejercer la función docente de manera inclusiva e innovadora. Como principal conclusión, se destaca que debería integrarse de forma explícita la CDD y el trabajo de la inclusión digital, como parte de esta, en los planes de estudios de los grados de Educación Infantil y Primaria.

Um estudo sobre as dificuldades na ressocialização do apenado pelo trabalho
Authors: Taveira Sara Julia Oliveira Santos , Biazotto Sibele Letícia Rodrigues de Oliveira
Published: June 2024

O presente estudo trata da importância da ressocialização do apenado como alternativa à crise do sistema penitenciário brasileiro. O sistema carcerário brasileiro, para além de suas finalidades básicas, deveria ser um órgão ressocializador, posto que a ressocialização do apenado é um pilar do direito penal, para que haja a reinserção do preso na sociedade, para que este siga sua vida longe dos crimes ao sair do cárcere. No entanto, atualmente, essa opção por muitas vezes é ineficaz, pela precariedade no sistema carcerário e falta de políticas de ressocialização. Assim, o presente estudo tem como objetivo geral destacar a importância da ressocialização do apenado e, como específicos, descrever a atual situação do cárcere brasileiro e demonstrar como a ressocialização pelo trabalho pode contribuir para diminuir os números da reincidência. Em relação às técnicas e aos procedimentos utilizados no estudo, serão levantamento bibliográfico em artigos, jurisprudências, legislação e obras.

O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a influência de secas severas e do contexto sociopolítico na conservação da Floresta Estadual do Antimary, localizada no Estado do Acre, a partir da análise espaço temporal da densidade dos focos de calor. Para analisar o padrão de comportamento da distribuição dos focos de calor, foram utilizados dados disponibilizados pelo INPE (Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais), sendo aplicado a função de densidade de Kernel e o agrupamento em classes a partir do método da quebra natural. Foi verificado que historicamente a grande pressão de focos de calor que afetam a floresta vem da porção oeste e noroeste. No período avaliado ocorreu um aumento de 151% na área ocupada pela classe de densidade de focos de calor “Muito Alta, e, uma redução de 21% no somatório da área das classes “Ausência de Focos”, “Muito Baixa” e “Baixa”. É verificada uma tendência de estabilização no número de focos de calor da Amazônia brasileira após a última seca severa em 2015, o oposto ocorreu na FES Antimary, indicando a influência da sequência de eventos sociopolíticos observados entre os anos de 2018 e 2023 na incidência de focos de calor da região.
