Does a dedicated hip fracture unit improve clinical outcomes? A five-year case series
Authors: Walton TJ , Bellringer SF , Edmondson M , Stott P , Rogers BA
Published: January 2019

Introduction

The aim of the study was to establish whether a dedicated hip fracture unit, geographically separate from the local major trauma centre, could improve clinical outcomes for patients sustaining proximal femoral fragility fractures.

Materials and methods

This study was a retrospective case series, using data collected from Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust’s submissions to the National Hip Fracture Database between 1 April 2011 and 16 September 2016. The outcomes measured were mortality, length of hospital stay, time from admission to surgical intervention and return to premorbid residence. Patients were compared before and after reconfiguration of services into a separate dedicated hip fracture unit geographically distinct from the major trauma centre.

Results

A total of 2117 patients (2178 injuries) were managed before the existence of the hip fracture unit, while 660 patients (673 injuries) were treated within the hip fracture unit. During the five-year study period, the 30-day mortality rate (pre-hip fracture unit 5.47% vs hip fracture unit 3.13%, P = 0.014), variance in the length of hospital stay (P < 0.001), mean time to surgical intervention (P = 0.044) and return to premorbid residence were significantly improved. An immediate 12-month comparison demonstrated significantly improved variance in length of hospital stay (P = 0.020) and return to premorbid residence (P = 0.015).

Discussion

The reconfiguration of services significantly reduced variance in length of stay, enabling accurate resource planning in future. Multiple incremental improvements in service provision, in addition to the hip fracture unit, may explain the lower mortality observed.

Conclusion

While further research is required, replication of the hip fracture unit service model may potentially afford significant clinical and financial gains.

Effectiveness Of Early Excisional Debridement In Burn Injuries To Sepsis Incidence And Mortality Rate At Burn Unit Of Hasan Sadikin Hospital
Authors: Bowo Setiagung Ambari , Soedjana Hardisiswo
Published: January 2019

Background: Sepsis is an important cause of mortality in patients with burn, although many factors influence it. Early excision debridement as source control treatment has been done routinely in our center. It was intended to prevent sepsis and decrease mortality rate.
Methods: We performed a retrospective, cross sectional study over 4 years (2012-2014) among patients with flame burns in Burn Unit Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital who underwent early excisional debridement. The criteria of patients were adult, with full thickness burn, without inhalation injury and co morbid disease. The mortality, length of stay, and incidence of sepsis were analyzed by simple regression linier statistics using SPSS 16.0 for Windows.
Results: Mortality rate of all patients was 43.3%, and 42.3% was directly caused by sepsis. Thirty-nine patients matched the criteria, 20 patients had early excision (< 3 days) and 19 patients had late excision (> 3 days). In early excision group, 75% got sepsis and 55% died. Mortality and incidence of sepsis wasn’t significantly different in both groups (p=0.252 and p=0.855). Both groups have same length of stay (mean : 13.1 and p=0.236).  Sex as confounding factor wasn’t significantly different (p=0.774). The extent of TBSA and age were significant factors causing mortality rate (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: There are many factors that contribute to the success of treating burn patient. Excision debridement was proven by this study not a major factor and ineffective to decrease sepsis and mortality in burned patients.
Honey As A Treatment For Diabetic Foot Ulcer: A Systematic Review
Authors: Insani Ide Bagoes , Widayanti Nurina , Rifki Aliyya
Published: January 2019

Background : Increased number of antibiotic-resistance bacteria has made honey widely reused as a modern wound treatment, including for Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) treatment. Researchers have studied mean duration of wound healing and effectivity of honey dressing compared to other substances, such as povidone iodine, normal saline or alginate. This systematic review was conducted to objectively evaluate mean duration of wound healing using topical honey dressing compared to other substances in the treatment of DFU.
Method : All RCT and CCT trials were collected from 4 electronic databases using keywords “Honey”, “Honey dressing”, “Diabetic foot ulcer”, and “Diabetic ulcer”. We included all English literatures with year of publication from January 2006 to November 2016; studies comparing honey with other substances; and patients with DFUs. Qualitative assessment of these studies were scored using Jadad Scale.
Result : A total of 5 studies involving 517 participants were included. None of 5 studies obtained full Jadad score in quality assessment due to lack of description on randomization method, blinding and dropouts. Three studies reported significantly shorter mean duration of wound healing in honey dressing compared to normal saline and alginate dressing. Other 2 studies reported insignificant difference compared to povidone iodine, although honey still has shorter mean duration of wound healing. Two studies reported less pain during dressing changes in honey dressing group.
Conclusion : Honey dressing was superior than control group (normal saline, alginate, and povidone iodine)  in reducing mean duration of wound healing in DFU patients. It was also proven to cause less pain during dressing changes. Due to high heterogeneity we are unable to carry out a meta-analysis.

Authors: Majstorovic G. , Vasiljevic M. , Šišovic N.
Published: January 2019

Optical emission spectroscopy technique was used to measure gas temperature along the axis of cylindrical abnormal glow discharge parallel to the copper cathode surface (side-on) in hydrogen-argon mixture at low pressure. The rotational temperature of excited state of H2 was determined from the rotational structure of Q branch of Fulcher-α diagonal bands using Boltzmann plot technique while the obtained ground vibrational state temperature is assumed to be equal to gas temperature. The temperature T0 determined from the rotational population density distribution in an excited vibrational state can be considered as a valid estimation of the ground state temperatutre i.e. H2 gas temperature.

TRANSNATIONAL EDUCATION, LANGUAGE AND IDENTITY: A CASE FROM MEXICO
Authors: TACELOSKY KATHLEEN
Published: January 2019

Educating for a future that assumes students will be educated in the country where they were born or that they will remain in the country where they are currently in school does not reflect the reality of the movement of people in an age of globalization. The research presented here examines the case of children and youth in Mexican public schools who have had some or all of their education in the United States, transnational students (TS) with a particular focus on their linguistic situation. Results suggest that TS struggle with the linguistic transition from Spanish as language of the home to Spanish as the language of education. The paper concludes with suggestions for future research and application to other contexts.

Unilateral Enforcement of Un Security Council Resolutions: The Case of Operation Iraqi Freedom
Authors: Ansong Alex
Published: January 2019

The prohibition of armed aggression under Article 2(2) of the United Nations Charter is one of the most important developments in international law and international relations in the modern era. The fact that the right to wage war is no longer accepted as falling within the sovereignty of the state has ushered in an appreciably stable international order based on the rule of law and not the rule of might. While states obviously still engage in warfare and numerous wars have been fought by states in the era of the UN, the very fact that the prohibition of armed aggression has assumed universal acceptance as customary international law is a notable achievement. In spite of the prohibition of armed aggression under the UN Charter, self-defence and collective action mandated by the UN Security Council serve as notable exceptions. The US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 (i.e. Operation Iraqi Freedom) was peculiar because, the justification for the invasion hinged on the enforcement of UN Security Council Resolutions. This justification thus brought to the fore whether, under international law, there was the right to unilaterally enforce Security Council Resolutions. In the current resurgence of unilateralism typified by the US Trumpled withdrawal or threat of withdrawal from multilateral systems of international governance and cooperation, it is important to reiterate the lessons of unilateralism epitomized by the 2003 invasion of Iraq and the instabilities that have become offshoots of this invasion – e.g. the creation of monsters like the so-called Islamic State. This article discusses the resort to unilateralism under the guise of enforcing UN Security Council resolutions. It also engages in a brief discussion on the justifications for war prior to the UN Charter and the provisions on the use of force prescribed in the Charter. It uses the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 as a case study to shed light on legality of unilateral enforcement of UN Security Council Resolutions.

Moving beyond Co-optation
Authors: Valle Firuzeh Shokooh
Published: January 2019

Development discourse has centered a female entrepreneur as the savior of the developing world, while feminist development studies has been ambivalent about the focus on women as ideal development agents, as well as of market-based approaches as solutions to inequality. This dilemma has fueled debates regarding the co-optation of feminist politics for a series of state, transnational and corporate interventions that are antithetical to feminist principles of social justice. This study examines how a women's cooperative in Costa Rica that works on entrepreneurship and technology challenges boundaries between autonomy and co-optation through a series of organizational practices and loving relationships among themselves, as well as with the communities they serve. The research is based on in-depth interviews with the cooperative's associates, collaborators, and workshop participants, with Costa Rican government officials and administrators at national technical universities, and participant observation at the organization in San José. I found that solidarity-based organizational practices enable a feminist technopolitical praxis that challenges market-centered strategies by forging collectivized ways of living and working, and that in this context technology is localized, collectivized, and felt. These findings suggest that examining process and implementation defies fixed narratives on the relationships between gender, entrepreneurship, technology, and development.
Taking Stock of Flow
Authors: Clark Rob , Kwon Roy
Published: January 2019

Research suggests a positive link between foreign direct investment (FDI) and human rights. In this study, we revisit this relationship and find that FDI does not produce significant improvements in human rights conditions. Both flow and stock measures of FDI are negatively associated with human rights ratings, with the negative effect of stock being notably larger. We discuss complications associated with the use of flow measures in panel estimation and argue that stock measures represent what scholars more likely have in mind when estimating the longitudinal effect of foreign capital. We then show that stock's negative effect is robust to several methodological concerns, including denominator effects in the foreign investment rate, information effects in the dependent variable, endogeneity in the FDI–human rights relationship, and the removal of wealthy countries and influential observations from our models. Finally, we find that stock's negative effect is significantly smaller in democratic regimes. Overall, the results suggest that foreign capital does not improve human rights conditions, and it may prove detrimental, especially in authoritarian states.
The Strength of Near and Distant Ties
Authors: Randell Heather
Published: January 2019

This study uses longitudinal semi-structured interview data to understand the role of social capital in environmental migration. I investigate how rural agricultural households displaced by the Belo Monte Dam in the Brazilian Amazon used ties to family and close friends in both the origin and destination during the course of migration, from pre-migration planning through post-migration livelihood reconstruction. I discover that the majority of households made strategic use of strong ties, relying on local and translocal social capital to help them find and purchase new property. Also, numerous households migrated to the same destinations as other displaced households and/or to places where family and friends had already lived beforehand. Maintaining strong ties in the destination was a priority for many households, as it facilitated the process of rebuilding livelihoods by providing social, financial, and emotional support. This study sheds light on how households make use of social networks during environmental migration, which can in turn help us better understand how social ties may shape migration decisions, capabilities, and destination choices among those displaced due to future environmental change.

Published: January 2019

Over exploitation of consumed fishes causes declining of  targeted fish populations that will lead to a cascade effect to the guild compositions. The change of carnivorous, omnivorous and herbivorous fish populations drives to the food chain destructions and unstable ecosystems. The objective of this study was to build fish community modelling based on guild compositions. This study was conducted on fish communities in the Banjaran River. The data collected were species richness, the abundance of fish and the guild composition among carnivore, herbivore, and omnivore. Survey and purposive random sampling technique were applied and Banjaran River was divided into five sites based on the physical characteristics of the environment and fishing activities. Species richness data were analyzed by ANOVA, the composition of the carnivorous, omnivorous and herbivorous fish was analyzed descriptively based on the guild pyramides.  About 115 individuals consist of 17 species belong to 5 families were found. The species richness in the five sites in was relatively similar (P > 0.05 (P = 0.269)). The fish community in site 3 had the balanced composition which was composed by 3% carnivores, 21.2% omnivores and 75.8% of herbivores.  This fish community modelling could be an an alternative way to manage fish community.  By controlling the carnivorous fish population, the natural resource especially fish as food resource will sustain and the species loss will be prevent.

Published: January 2019

Conventionally, cultivations of Nepenthes are conducted by using seeds, cutting, and filial separation. However, there are many obstacles come both from time and technical aspect. In vitro culture is an alternative way for cultivating  N. ampullaria (Jack,). One of a technique of in vitro culture is micro cutting. BAP (6-benzyl amino purine) growth regulator could be added to optimize the growth of  N. ampullaria microcutting. The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of  BAP on the growth of Nepenthes microcutting. This research was done experimentally using Completely Randomized Design (CRD). BAP treatment consisted of 5 concentrations: 0; 0.5; 1; 1.5; 2 (ppm), each treatment were multiplied 4 times. The parameters observed were: a time of bud initiation, time of root initiation, total of leaves, total of new buds, total of roots, length of leave, length of root, and height of bud. The data obtained were analyzed with ANOVA (Analisis of Variance) and continued with 5% and 1% LSD (Least Significant Different)  test. The result showed that addition of BAP affected the growth of  N. ampullaria microcutting in total leaves, length of leave, and total of buds. LSD test proved that 0.57 ppm of BAP was optimal concentration to increase total buds, whit the value reached of 3.86. Here, we found that BAP can be utilized to enhanche N. ampullaria growth on in vitro culture. The benefit of this study is to conserve N. ampullaria in vitro using BAP at  0.57 ppm.

Physiological stress for a long time can lead to impaired kidney organ function. Snakehead fish meat are known to contain important nutrients such as albumin, glutamine, glycine, cysteine, and various minerals that can improve kidney function. This study was conducted to examine and analyze the effect of snakehead fish supplementation in feed towards body weight, kidney weight, diameter and number of glomerulus in Wistar rats with physiological stress. This study used 20 male Wistar rats divided into 5 groups consisted of 1 control group (P0) and 4 treatment groups (P1: 5%, P2: 10%, P3: 15%, P4: 20%). The treatments were performed with 4 times repetition. This study used Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The variables measured were body weight, kidney weight, diameter and number of renal glomerulus. The data obtained were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) at 5% significance level and continued with Duncan test with 5% significance level. The results of this study were: the supplementation of snakehead fish with 20% of concentration can increase the body weight; concentration 10; 15; and 20% can increase the weight of the kidney; concentrations of 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% can increase the glomerular diameter in Wistar rats with physiological stress. The supplementation of snakehead fish with concentration of 5% to 20% did not affect the number of glomerulus of Wistar rats with physiological stress. Results of this study is useful as information for people who study the mechanism of kidney repair due to physiological stress.

Authors: Safri Yofi Firdan , Arifudin Riza , Muslim Much Aziz
Published: January 2019

Health is a human right and one of the elements of welfare that must be realized in the form of giving various health efforts to all the people of Indonesia. Poverty in Indonesia has become a national problem and even the government seeks efforts to alleviate poverty. For example, poor families have relatively low levels of livelihood and health. One of the new policies of the Sakti Government Card Program issued by the government includes three cards, namely Indonesia Smart Card (KIP), Healthy Indonesia Card (KIS) and Prosperous Family Card (KKS). In this study to determine the feasibility of a healthy Indonesian card (KIS) required a method of optimal accuracy. The data used in this study is KIS data which amounts to 200 data records with 15 determinants of feasibility in 2017 taken at the Social Service of Pekalongan Regency. The data were processed using the K-Nearest Neighbor algorithm and the combination of K-Nearest Neighbor-Naive Bayes Classifier algorithm. This can be seen from the accuracy of determining the feasibility of K-Nearest Neighbor algorithm of 64%, while the combination of K-Nearest Neighbor-Naive Bayes Classifier algorithm is 96%, so the combination of K-Nearest Neighbor-Naive Bayes Classifier algorithm is the optimal algorithm in determining the feasibility of healthy Indonesian card recipients with an increase of 32% accuracy. This study shows that the accuracy of the results of determining feasibility using a combination of K-Nearest Neighbor-Naive Bayes Classifier algorithms is better than the K-Nearest Neighbor algorithm.

Published: January 2019

Economic growth indicates a decent standard of living but it falls short of explaining human well-being and economic development in the long run. Human development, by being a broader concept, includes not only economic growth but also education and health indicators. It, therefore, better indicates longer term economic development and human well-being of a country. Number of studies already point to a significant relationship between logistics performance and economic growth. This research investigates whether a similar relationship between logistics performance and human development exists and the mediator role of global connectedness, which is related to both concepts.  The purpose of this study, therefore, is to examine the mediator role of global connectedness in the relationship between logistics performance and human development. The results of the analysis show that global connectedness plays a partial mediator role in the relationship between logistics performance and human development.
HİZMET SEKTÖRÜNDE FAALİYET GÖSTEREN İŞLETME YÖNETİCİLERİNİN, MİNTZBERG TAKSONOMİSİNE GÖRE ÜSTLENDİKLERİ ROLLERİN, İNSAN KAYNAKLARININ İÇSELLİK VE DIŞSALLIK STATÜSÜ ALGISINA ETKİSİ: BİR UYGULAMA

Hizmet sektöründe faaliyet gösteren örgütlerde, çalışanların müşterilerle yüz yüze olmalarından dolayı, insan kaynaklarının davranışsal yaklaşımlarla örgütle bütünleştirilmesi, büyük önem arz etmektedir. İçsellik ve dışsallık statüsü, bu davranışsal yaklaşımlar arasındadır. Değerli olduğunu ve önemli görevler üstleneceğini düşünen çalışan, içsellik statüsü elde edip performansını yükseltmektedir. Dışsallık statüsü algısına sahip olan çalışan ise, düşük performansa sahip olmakta ve dolayısıyla sunduğu hizmetin kalitesini düşük tutarak örgütsel etkinliği olumsuz yönde etkileyebilmektedir. Bununla beraber çalışan, liderinin sergilediği rol bağlamında da örgüt içerisindeki statüsünü algılamakta ve içsellik ya da dışsallık statüsü hissedebilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, hizmet sektöründe faaliyet gösteren örgütlerin yöneticilerinin Mintzberg taksonomisine göre üstlendikleri rollerin, çalışanların içsellik ve dışsallık statüsü algısına etkisini araştırmaktır. Bu amaçla, hizmet sektöründe faaliyet gösteren zincir bir otelin Yalova halkasında anket uygulaması yapılmış olup anketler; Sharp’ın (1993) 46 adet sorudan oluşan ve yöneticilerin örgütteki rollerini belirlemeyi hedefleyen Yönetici Rolleri Ölçeği; Stamper ve Masterson (2002) tarafından geliştirilen ve 6 ifadeden oluşan, çalışanların içsellik ve dışsallık algılarını ölçmeye yönelik Algılanan Örgütsel Aidiyet Ölçeği –AADve demografik sorulardan oluşturulmuştur. Ulaştırılan 150 adet anketten 108 adet geri dönüş alınmış olup veriler SPSS 20.0 paket programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular, karar verici ve bilgilendirici rollerin istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olmadığını gösterirken, kişilerarası rollerin aidiyet algısı üzerinde azaltıcı bir etkiye sahip olduğunu ortaya koymuştur.
