Советская поэзия в 1926 году в зеркале анкетирования писателей и читателей
Authors: Павловец Михаил
Published: June 2018

В статье рассматривается проблема востребованности поэзии в СССР на примере всего одного – 1926 года, когда одновременно несколько литературных изданий решило исследовать отношение к ней читателей и самих поэтов. Анализ проведенных опросов читателей и библиотек показывает правоту Бориса Пастернака, который утверждал, что в настоящее время лирическая поэзия переживает кризис, связанный с утратой прежнего ее адресата и несформированности нового реципиента, который бы нуждался в лирических формах презентации субъектности ее автора.

Authors: Kumar Rakesh , Singh U. P.
Published: June 2018

An experiment was conducted during at Varanasi to find out the effect of residue management with Trichoderma application and weed management practices (W1- - Control, W2 -Hand weeding at 30 and 45 DAS, W3 - Isoproturon + 2,4-D (1.0 + 0.5 kg ha-1) at 30 DAS, W4 - Fenoxaprop 120 g ha-1 fb Metsulfuron 4 g ha-1 ) on growth, yield attributes and yield of wheat(Triticum aestvium L.) with weed density, WCE and net returns. The residue retention with Trichoderma application produced significantly higher crop growth, yield attributes, grain and straw yield as compared to residue retention alone and residue removal. Among the weedicide option fenoxaprop fb metsulfuron treatment was found most effective in controlling weed population and produced significantly higher grain (3355.06 and 3722.27 kg-1 ha) and straw yields (5050.23 and 5332.77 kg-1 ha) and higher weed control efficiency (74.19 and 75.07 %). Out of herbicides, Isoproturon + 2, 4-D gave the highest net return as compared to fenoxaprop fb metsulfuron followed by hand weeding twice.

Authors: Sarkar P. C. , Sahu Upali , Binsi P. K. , Nayak Natasha , Ninan George , Ravishanker C. N.
Published: June 2018

Natural gums, which have a polysaccharide backbone, are widely used in the food processing industry as binders, thickeners and texturizing agents. Although all are hydrocolloids and physico-chemical properties of various gums have been described by various workers, there appears to be lack of detailed studies on their functional properties, which show appreciable differences. The present study was carried out to determine the key functional characteristics of commercially important natural gums. These included flow, solubility, water holding capacity and oil holding capacity, angle of repose, bulk and true density, and coefficient of friction. The bulk density of various gums ranged from 0.95-1.20 g/mL, the lowest densities was that of Babool gum and the highest was of Piyar gum. The compressibility index of various gums ranged from 1 to 38.75%. Khair gum showed the highest solubility (83.65%) and Karaya gum showed the lowest solubility (60.06%). Psyllium gum showed the highest water holding capacity whereas gum Acacia showed the lowest value. Oil holding capacity of different gums varied from 114.66 to 214.66 (g oil/100 g gum). Ghatti and Piyar gums (38.13°) showed comparative decrease in angle of repose, whereas Guar gum showed an angle of repose of 39.80°.

Authors: Farahani Mehrdad Vasheghani
Published: June 2018

The present study was a comparative analysis of the inductive and the deductive methods in teaching English. Indeed, the major aim of the study was to compare the efficiency of these two approaches in teaching English grammar by inspecting studentsâ€™ performance. To this purpose, two identical groups of German pre-service teachers were randomly selected to participate in this research. Then, two English grammar topics (future tense and conditional sentences) were taught to them by the usage of PPP method as the deductive approach and the guided discovery technique as the inductive approach. Regarding the methodology, the design of the study was comparison group design (between-subjects design) and the TTT (Test-Teach-Test) method was obtained in which a grammar pre-test and post-test comparison were executed to check the level of improvement in the students. The achieved scores in the tests indicated that both the inductive and the deductive methods were equal in terms of efficiency.

Published: June 2018

The present study aimed to examine the ways in which drama and drama techniques and practices, as implemented in the English language classes and combined with pedagogical practices to teach and learn English conversation, can create the appropriate conditions that promote learning environments conducive for learning English conversations. The participants of this study were thirty undergraduate male and female students who had studied English at the secondary and high school levels at the public schools in Ardebil. They were classified into two groups including Control and Experimental groups. The two groups were administered a Test-Retest evaluation to measure the targeted language skills that was to be taught to them. In order to collect the necessary data, two modern plays were taught and rehearsed in classroom context and then a retest were administered after the practice of these two modern dramatic discourse in the classroom. The different data-collecting techniques were used for the current research were participant observation (direct and indirect), and interviews. After analysing the data the results showed that there was no significant improvement in English competence of the Control group but the Experimental group revealed a tremendous achievement in their abilities in English conversations through the use of dramatic discourse.
Academic infractions of assessed work in Japanese langauge
Authors: Winch Junko
Published: June 2018

Google Translate (GT) is a free on-line translation tool and accessible to anyone including students who study languages.Before the advent of GT, dictionaries have been used by language learners, which have only receptive translation function.Unlike dictionaries, GT has two translation functions: receptive and productive. This productive function of GT has beenincreasingly creating problems in university language assessment and language teachers with students’ cheating, plagiarismor academic infractions. The purpose of this article is to find evidence that GT has a causal effect of students’ cheating,plagiarism or academic infractions. In addition, how coherence also seems to be associated with academic infraction isdiscussed before the methodology. The study investigated the formative Japanese coursework essay writings of threestudents who have studied Japanese for 1 year but with no basic understanding or knowledge of the Japanese language at auniversity of South of England. It is concluded that all the three students were suspected of committing plagiarism in spite ofteacher’s warning of plagiarism. The implications of this study are directed at institutions, teachers and students. Institutionsshould review the information gap between the websites which are written for students and the university’s officialpublished website statement on plagiarism. Institutions may also need to mention GT specifically in the plagiarismdocumentation. Institutions may also consider adopting an additional coversheet system to use as students’ declaration ofplagiarism. Language teacher should be familiar with the differences between plagiarism vs. cheatings, plagiarism vs.academic infractions/offences and the components of academic infractions of the university they work. Students shouldsubmit their own work, not using GT or copying and pasting translated sentences from websites.

BELAJAR MEMAHAMI TURATS
Authors: Wargadinata Wildana
Published: June 2018

The problem of source authenticity is the first question that a man who seeks the truth asks. This paper explains the phenomenon of turats and dynamics in several generations. Many people who strongly reject turats for no apparent reason, because they have not understood it. Conversely many also receive turats with a round but also understand it. Their unfamiliarity with turats, because they have lost the formulas of the salaf they use in every rulisannya. Each turats is written with a code that is a particular formula used by a group of humans to establish a secret relationship between them. The turats code here does not mean the secrets to be stored but it has been used among salaf scholars.

 

Masalah penelusuran keaslian sumber  adalah permasalahan pertama yang clipertanyakan seorang manusia yang mencari kebenaran. Tulisan ini menjelaskan fenomena turats dan dinamikanya pada beberapa generasi. Banyak orang yang menolak keras turats tanpa alasan yang jelas, dikarenakan mereka belum memahaminya. Sebaliknya banyak juga yang menerima turats dengan bulat tetapi juga memahaminya. Ketidakpahaman mereka terhadap turats, karena mereka telah kehilangan rumusan yang dimiliki para salaf yang mereka pakai dalam setiap rulisannya. Setiap turats ditulis dengan kode yang merupakan sebuah rumusan tertentu yang dipakai oleh sekelompok manusia untuk mengadakan hubungan rahasia antara mereka. Kode turats disini bukan berarti rahasia yang harus disimpan akan tetapi memang telah dipakai diantara ulama salaf.  

 

 
MENEMUKAN JATI DIRI DAN MENEMPATKANNYA PADA POSISINYA YANG TEPAT: Suatu Pengantar Menuju Ilmu Tasawuf
Authors: Dja'far Muhammadiyah
Published: June 2018

This paper discusses how to find the identity is very important to then put it in the right position. This is based on the understanding that humans who want the happiness of the Hereafter, will take the path that is not less than six kinds of positions, namely: a diligent person, or a scientist, or a student or officer, or entrepreneur, or a person solely subjected to monotheism . Whoever has attained the most honorable degree will feel the presence of his heart with God in all things. Nothing else occurred to him, and no one else tapped his hearing, nor his views, except those charged with worship. It is not worth a person who desires this dignity to himself, then becomes lazy in his worship. Indeed, the signs of this man who attains this dignity do not occur to him in an anxious, unimaginable heart, and will not be surprised by the shock of the situation anyhow.

 

Tulisan ini membahas tentang bagaimana menemukan jati diri sangat penting untuk kemudian menempatkannya pada posisi yang tepat. Hal ini berdasarkan pemahaman bahwa  manusia yang menginginkan kebahagiaan akhirat, akan menempuh jalannya yang tidak kurang dari enam macam posisi yaitu : orang yang tekun beribadah, atau ilmuwan, atau pelajar (mahasiswa) atau pejabat, atau pengusaha, atau orang yang semata-mata menekuni tauhid. Barangsiapa telah mencapai derajat yang paling mulia akan merasakan kehadiran hatinya bersama dengan Allah dalam segala halnya. Tiada lagi hal lain terlintas dalam hatinya, dan tiada lagi yang mengetuk pendengarannya, maupun pandangannya, kecuali yang bermuatan ibadah. Tidak pantas sama sekali seorang yang menginginkan martabat ini pada dirinya, lalu menjadi malas ibadahnya. Sesungguhnya tanda-tanda orang yang mencapai martabat ini tidak terlintas dalam hatinya sifat kuatir, dan tidak terbayang suatu maksiat di dalam hatinya, serta tidak akan dikejutkan oleh kegoncangan situasi bagaimanapun.

 
Imagen impresa y acción social. La decoración del libro al interior del proyecto cultural de Atalaya (1922-1927)
Authors: Villanueva Aldana
Published: June 2018

Atalaya (Alfredo Chiabra Acosta) representó uno de los actores fundamentales para la crítica de arte argentina en el marco de las corrientes renovadoras de vanguardia de la década del 20. Sin embargo, enrolado en las filas del anarquismo desde su juventud, efectuó desde su labor crítica una defensa de aquellas expresiones artísticas consideradas “menores”, en especial el grabado, aspecto que había resultado central para la estética libertaria en su misión de romper con la barrera entre arte y pueblo. En el momento que el movimiento anarquista reencauzaba sus periódicos y su labor doctrinaria y el arte parecía ya no estar a la orden del día desde un punto de vista práctico, Atalaya se propuso promover una revalorización del carácter revolucionario del arte en el seno del Suplemento Semanal de La Protesta (1922-1926). La decoración del libro y su ilustración por medio de grabados cobraron una dimensión significativa en su reflexión crítica. Estos valores puestos en el mundo del libro tuvieron su concreción efectiva cuando en 1926 fundó la Editorial de la Campana de Palo. Este trabajo se propone entonces abordar, en primer lugar, la reflexión teórico-crítica de Atalaya en torno a la decoración del libro y, en segundo lugar, analizar la empresa encausada por la Editorial de la Campana en el marco de la cultura de izquierdas de 1920.

Predictors of Caring in the Context of Relationship-Based Care
Authors: Nelson John W. , Hozak Mary Ann
Published: June 2018

The caring connection between patients and health-care staff members is important to both patients and staff. This connection is amplified in organizations implementing Relationship-Based Care (RBC), a patient care delivery model that has relationships with self and others as its central concept. A secondary analysis of data from 542 health-care workers in a health-care system in the northeastern United States was performed to identify a profile of staff factors that predict a caring connection as perceived by staff. Specifically staff self-care, clarity (of self, role, and system), dimensions of job satisfaction, and demographics were examined in relationship to caring for patients. The study demonstrated that constructs within RBC do relate to the creation of a caring connection between health-care staff members and patients, including caring for self, having a direct relationship with the patient using concepts of Primary Nursing, clarity of role, and being a direct care provider.

Published: June 2018

This is a comparative study to evaluate the outcome of forty patients with bone loss in tibia using conventional external fixation device for group A while for group B using Ilizarov external fixator device each group consists of 20 patients, based on principles of distractive osteogenesis. Patients and methods: Forty patients with bone loss of 4 to 14 centimeters in tibia between April 2011 and April 2016 were treated, ages (15-65 years); female to male ratio was 6:34. The cause of defects in tibia was fracture due to road traffic accident (20 cases), bullet injury to leg (8 cases), gap nonunion (8 cases) and infected non unions(4 cases). They were divided into two groups each consists of 20 patients, conventional external fixator used for group A while for group B Ilizarov external fixator device was used with performing transverse corticotomy proximal or distal to the gap for both groups. Results: Evaluation of results was done according to Association for Study and Application of Methods of Ilizarov (A.S.A.M.I.) scoring system and it revealed that both functional and bony results were better in group B than group A. Conclusions: Fixation of the bone by Ilizarov frame gives more rapid union of the bone, less chance of pin tract infection and cosmetically more preferable because of smaller scar tissue of entry of K wires than Schanz pins. Prevention and treatment of equinus deformity and clawing of the toes can be done by extending the Ilizarov frame to correct them. In cases of severe soft tissue loss it is better to apply conventional external fixator as a provisional fixator till the soft tissue loss and swelling will be diminished.
Effet Du Stress Salin Sur Le Comportement Biochimique Et Anatomique Chez Deux Variétés De Piment (Capsicum Annuum L.) À Mila /Algérie
Authors: Bouassaba Karima , Chougui Saiida
Published: June 2018

Soil salinity is a permanent threat to the survival of plants. The choice of a salt tolerant species could be a solution to this constraint. This paper focuses on the concept of adaptation and sensitivity during the vegetative phase of sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) variety: Super marconi (Sp) and Marconi (M). Plants were stressed with different concentrations of NaCl ranging from 0, 25, 50 to 150 mM/l NaCl for 60 days. The results obtained showed that the application of stress results in a moderate decrease in plant size and the content of Chlorophyll a, b which declined during times of stress. An increase in proline content and soluble sugars was recorded in the leaves. It could be an indicator of salinity tolerance which explains the maintenance of a good water status among the studied plants. Regarding the ionic content (K+ and Na + ), salt stress caused a significant decrease in the content of K + , and a significant increase in Na+ content in both pepper varieties. Concerning anatomical structure of stems, the action of combined salts (50-150Mmol/L) causes a decrease in the size of the parenchymal cells, as well as the diameter of xylem vessels. It is concluded that the variety Super Marconi (Sp) is more tolerant to salinity compared to the variety Marconi (M). Hence, they have a significant role to play in agriculture, food, and economy.

Published: June 2018

Sand is classified among the low value development minerals, even though it is massively used in the world. The exploitation of that construction mineral at Nkol’Ossananga, around Yaounde, is done by craftsmen in unsafe conditions, such as: the exposure to a wide range of diseases and the destruction of the environment. We carried out a study on occupational health and safety and environmental impacts on the Nkol’ossananga site. Our method consisted firstly of the bibliographic review, sandpit quarry investigations afterwards, and lastly the data analysis. Tabulation of results showed that the population in the site is essentially threatened by diseases such as dysentery (15%), fibromyalgia (25%), typhoid fever (55%), otalgia (10%), ocular pains (15%), and malaria (45%). Craftmen work without any personal protective equipment (PPE) and are often victims of drowning and bacterial infections. The high demand of sand in Yaoundé involves the development of the activity in other sites and, in consequence, there is a deforestation and disappearance of many animals and vegetables species. The soil and water pollution is also noticeable due to pouring of engines waste oil in the site.

Published: June 2018

This paper focuses on evaluating the degree of three metal pollution (Cu, Zn and Pb) in the sediments of Béni Haroun dam, located in northeastern of Algeria. For this reason, the superficial sediments were sampled at five stations, and the samples were taken at different seasons of the year. The results show low Cu and Zn levels which reflect natural conditions in relation to the area of geological nature. It also highlights the presence of Pb contamination (2.29 to 91.86µg/g). This result was also confirmed by various indices, including the geoaccumulation index (Igeo) and the contamination factor (FC). The Igeo values for Pb show moderate contamination of the Bge2 and Bge3 stations. CF values indicate moderate to considerable contamination for most stations by Pb. However, low or absent of Zn contamination was noted in all stations except for the Bge5. The correlation matrix and the PCA between all metal elements indicates that they were derived from similar sources. The contamination sources would probably establish a significant relationship between runoff and the erosion of agricultural lands. It is therefore an anthropogenic metal pollution related to agricultural activity using fertilizers and pesticides.

Published: June 2018

The impact of chemical pollution on organism’s characteristics was assessed through morphological features in IV and V sectors of Ebrié Lagoon using Sarotherodon melanotheron (Rüppel, 1852) as bioindicator. Sampling was carried out during a whole year in three sites (Layo, N’djem and Ahua) characterized by contrasted environments(respectively moderate, medium and high levels of pollution). The morphological studies were based on morphometric biomarkers such as fluctuating asymmetry (FA) and average body shape. Fluctuating asymmetry was evaluated among individuals within sites using ANOVA Procrustes. Average body shape was compared among sampling sites using Principal Components Analysis (PCA), Canonical Variates Analysis (CVA) and MANOVA. Fluctuating asymmetry did not vary between sampling sites. However, the average body shape was significantly different between specimens from Ahua and both those from Layo and N’djem. There was no significant difference between fish from Layo and those from N’djem.Allometric effects and the abiotic parameters influenced, to some extent, the body shape of individuals.A morphological differentiation according to the geographical distance was also observed. The study revealed a morphological adaptation of the populations of S. melanotheron in the study area.

Introduction: Sarcopenia is a natural disturb that usually affects older people consisting in strength and muscle mass loss. Sedentary lifestyle and nutritional habits are some inducing factors. Supplementation may contribute to improvements on life quality in elders predisposed to sarcopenia. Objectives: verify the relevance of protein supplementation on life quality of elders predisposed to sarcopenia. Assess the individual's evolution along the study. Methods: protein supplementation application during 45 days on 13 elders, comparing them with 13 elders in control group without supplementation. Anthropometric measurements were performed before and after the 45 days period and evaluated for each participant, as well as their nutrition, individually. Results: We observed a improvement in some anthropometric measures, and a reduction in others, that might be explained by previous pathologies already diagnosed. Muscle mass changes were positive, according with specific reference measures. Some elders reported motor strength improvements, disposition and energy. Physical active participants showed more significant results and sedentary ones. Conclusion: positive outcomes were obtained from protein supplementation in older people, and more correlated studies are still necessary, considering the field's relevancy to longevity and overall life quality.

The study privileged the truly free (open) softwares. One advance was the inclusion of the Tangent Polar Diagram into the Ester package. The tool helps to differentiate, in folded regions, conical folds from cylindrical folds. In the comparative evaluation, it was observed that diagrams produced by Ester 2.1 are similar to those generated by other programs. The advantage relates to resources that are not available in the other softwares analyzed. It is concluded that, in addition to resources heretofore unavailable, the tests showed good functionality. The experience signals new directions in the search for educational alternatives for teaching-learning in Structural Geology.

Background: Quality of family planning services is an ever-increasing worldwide issue which is basically deserted in the developing nations. Provision of high quality family planning services that satisfy clients’ needs can ensure continued services utilization and increase contraceptive prevalence rate, lowered fertility rate, and improved women and children’s health.Aim: this study intended to assess the quality of family planning services in maternal and child health care centers in Damanhour city.Design: this was a descriptive study that utilized Dounabedian model to assess quality of family planning services structure and process and clients’ satisfaction was used as an outcome indicator.Setting: the three available maternal and child health centers in Damanhour city.Participants: all health care providers and a convenience sample of 300 non pregnant women who utilized the family planning clinics at the selected maternal and child health centers.Tools of data collection: three tools were utilized; basic data structured interview schedule for clients and health care providers, structural quality is assessed through facility audit while the process of family planning services provision was measured by using an observational checklist. After the observation of the family planning care process, an exit interview was done with the clients to measure their satisfaction with the provided family planning services.Results: The study findings revealed that none of the studied family planning clinics had high total quality of care level (structure & process) where 66.7% of them had low level of the total quality of care. However, 74.3% of the studied family planning clients were moderately satisfied with the total quality of care level (structure & process) in the studied maternal and child health centers. Finally, a significant positive correlation was confirmed between the overall family planning clients’ satisfaction level and the total quality of family planning care level; total structure and total process quality of family planning services delivery.Conclusion and recommendations: it can be concluded that family planning services in maternal and child health centers at Damanhur had low total quality of care level with moderate clients’ satisfaction. This shed the light on the urgent need for numerous quality enhancement measures to promote all quality elements in the studied maternal and child health centers. In addition to, emphasizing clients' satisfaction as a high priority output of care.
Critical Reflexivity of Communities on Their Experience to Improve Population Health

Published: June 2018

Although community capacity has been prominent in the public health literature for nearly 20 years, the field has only operationalized a few dimensions. An intriguing dimension of capacity is a community’s ability to critically reflect.

On the basis of previous research as well as theoretical and practical insights from management and organizational learning literature, we offer a process framework for critical reflexivity practice in community. The framework draws on ideas regarding cognition and agency, praxis, as well as the transformative learning model to conceptualize how reflexivity happens as an emergent community process.

The implication is that reflexivity is a community-level process of making meaning of experiences that drive a common narrative. Inclusivity and establishing consensus are paramount, and can be difficult in light of power dynamics and consideration of dissenting voices and different experiences; enlightened self-interest and creating conducive spaces for dialogue are key in this process. Strengthening communities’ ability to gain and employ collective wisdom from their experience will also build their overall capacity for population health improvement.

Published: June 2018

Background:

Pseudotumor formation following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a well-known complication mainly associated with metal-on-metal (MoM) bearings and taper corrosion on modular-neck femoral stems. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of revision surgery for symptomatic pseudotumors in a large cohort of patients treated with primary THA with a standard stem and a non-MoM articulation.

Methods:

We included 2,102 patients treated with a total of 2,446 THAs from 1999 until May 2016 in a prospective, observational cohort study. All patients underwent THA with the same uncemented, non-modular-neck femoral stem and metal-on-polyethylene (MoP) (n = 2,409) or ceramic-on-polyethylene (n = 37) articulation. All patients were followed by means of a combination of surgical and medical chart review, follow-up visits, and the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register. Metal artifact reduction sequence magnetic resonance imaging (MARS MRI) was used for diagnosis of the pseudotumors, and serum metal ion levels and inflammatory marker levels were measured for all patients who underwent a revision due to pseudotumor.

Results:

The prevalence of revision for symptomatic pseudotumor formation was 0.5% (13 cases) at a mean follow-up time of 7 years. The incidence rate was 0.9 case per 1,000 person-years. All 13 revisions were done in patients with an MoP articulation.

Conclusions:

This study demonstrated a 0.5% prevalence of revision due to symptomatic pseudotumor formation in a cohort of patients who underwent THA with a non-MoM construct. Surgeons should be aware that symptomatic pseudotumor formation requiring revision surgery is a tangible complication even after standard MoP THA.

Sustained Preoperative Opioid Use Is a Predictor of Continued Use Following Spine Surgery
Authors: Schoenfeld Andrew J. , Belmont Philip J. , Blucher Justin A. , Jiang Wei , Chaudhary Muhammad Ali , Koehlmoos Tracey , Kang James D. , Haider Adil H.
Published: June 2018

Background:

Preoperative opioid use is known to increase the likelihood of complications and inferior outcomes following spine surgery. We evaluated the association of preoperative opioid use and other risk factors with postoperative opioid use.

Methods:

We queried 2006-2014 TRICARE insurance claims to identify adults who underwent lumbar interbody arthrodesis, lumbar discectomy, lumbar decompression, or lumbar posterolateral arthrodesis. The duration of preoperative opioid use was categorized as acute exposure, exposed without sustained use, intermediate sustained use, and chronic sustained use. Cox proportional-hazard models that adjusted for demographic factors, preoperative diagnoses, comorbidities, postoperative complications, and the type of procedure performed were used to identify factors associated with a reduced likelihood of opioid discontinuation following the surgical procedure.

Results:

There were 27,031 patients included in this analysis. Following the surgical procedure, 67.1% of patients had discontinued opioid use by 30 days, and 86.4% had ceased use by 90 days. Overall, 2,379 patients (8.8%) continued to use opioid medications at 6 months. Duration of preoperative opioid use, among other demographic and clinical factors, was the most important predictor of continued use following a surgical procedure.

Conclusions:

The majority of patients who were using prescription opioids prior to the surgical procedure discontinued these medications postoperatively. Duration of preoperative use appears to be the most important predictor of sustained use following a surgical procedure.

Clinical Relevance:

Our results indicate that the majority of patients who are using prescription opioids prior to spine surgery discontinue these medications following surgical intervention. Among those who continue opioid use ≥90 days after the surgical procedure, the duration of preoperative use appears to be the most important predictor.
Analysis of Factors Related to the Sex Diversity of Orthopaedic Residency Programs in the United States

Published: June 2018

Background:

Women are underrepresented as applicants to and trainees of orthopaedic surgery residencies. Factors that attract women to or deter them from orthopaedic surgery have been previously published; however, there has been no analysis of the programs that train high percentages of female residents and the factors that differentiate them from programs that have low percentages of women. The purpose of this study was to identify and compare these factors between programs with high and low percentages of female residents.

Methods:

Information on each orthopaedic surgery residency program listed in the American Medical Association (AMA) Fellowship and Residency Electronic Interactive Database (FREIDA) was collected utilizing residency program web sites, an online survey distributed to residency program coordinators, and a follow-up telephone survey. These included data on resident and faculty demographic characteristics and residency program curriculum structure. The prevalence of factors in programs with the highest percentages of female residents was compared with those with lower percentages.

Results:

Data were obtained from 143 (97.3%) of 147 programs, with 3,406 residents identified. Only 485 residents (14.2%) were female. Programs with more female residents had more female faculty members per program (p = 0.001), a higher percentage of faculty who were female (p < 0.001), more female associate professors (p < 0.001), more women in leadership positions (p < 0.001), and a higher prevalence of women’s sports medicine programs (p = 0.03); were more commonly listed in the Top 40 for National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding (p = 0.03) and U.S. News & World Report rankings (p = 0.02); and were more likely to offer a research year (p = 0.045).

Conclusions:

There are greater percentages of female residents at orthopaedic residency programs with more female faculty members, more women in leadership positions, a women’s sports medicine program, and the option to do a research year. Departmental and national leaders may consider these factors when efforts are undertaken to enhance the recruitment of female applicants and improve female interest in orthopaedic surgery as a specialty.
