Assessment of Metastatic Status of Axillary Lymph Nodes using Intravenous Fluorescein in Carcinoma Breast
Authors: Qaiser Darakhshan , Kataria Kamal , Srivastava Anurag
Published: April 2022

Background: Assessment of lymph node metastasis is of prime significance for staging and treatment planning for breast cancer. All enlarged lymph nodes do not contain metastasis. Sentinel lymph nodes biopsy is recommended for patients with clinically negative axilla. But there are no standard guidelines for managing patients with enlarge axillary lymph node. In the present paper we have evaluated the role of intravenous Fluorescein to identify the axillary nodal metastasis during axillary dissection.

Aim: Identification of metastatic fluorescent node during axillary dissection.

Methodology: The present cross-sectional study at All India Institute of medical sciences on 32 operable carcinoma breast cases were enrolled in the study. Fluorescent and non-fluorescent nodes were sent separately for histopathological evaluation.

Result: Present study include a total of 32 cases. From these 32 cases a total of 267 lymph nodes were separated out in which 185 nodes were fluorescent and 82 nodes were non fluorescent. Out of 267 fluorescent node 103 were histologically positive and remaining nodes were free of tumor. In non-fluorescent nodes only 6 nodes show the presence of tumor.

Conclusion: Intravenous 20% fluorescein sodium has a high sensitivity of 94.5% & specificity of 48% with positive predictive value of 55.7%, which is comparable to conventional sentinel lymph node procedure in detecting early metastasis. Besides time saving and non-toxic, this technique predicts the metastatic status of axillary lymph node during surgery, aiding appropriate surgical intervention.

Published: April 2022

Obesity and overweight tend to increase in prevalence in the whole world. Obese people have a higher incidence of cardiovascular diseases, stroke, osteoarthritis, diabetes mellitus and reproductive system diseases. This is especially evident in women. Hormonal imbalances is developed among obese women in the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, typically there are menstruation disorders, anovulation and female infertility. Adipose tissue is an endocrine organ, with an intricate role in bioactive molecules secrete, in particularly adipokines, which interact differently with a variety of molecular pathways, contribute to the development of insulin resistance, inflammation, hypertension, increased risk of cardiovascular events, disorders of blood clotting, differentiation and maturation of oocytes. In addition, women with obesity and metabolic syndrome have problems with conception at the endometrial level often, a significantly higher risk of having a miscarriage, and worse assisted reproductive technology outcomes. Obesity has negative effects on the endometrium in non-pregnant women, it is increasing the risk of abnormal uterine bleeding. Hormones derived from adipose tissue could be affected on the  function of  the uterus/endometrium and, consequently, affect the amount of menstrual blood loss. Contradictory results are observed in patients with endometriosis. The correlation of body mass index to the risk of endometriosis has not been proven in clinical studies, but there was a direct relationship between the severity of endometriosis and a high body mass index. The review presents possible relationships of diseases of the reproductive system with obesity and overweight, determining their development and pathogenesis of disorders of the formation of the functions of reproductive organs.
Numerical model for the settlement of loess subgrade in operation period reinforced by rotary jet grouting pile
Authors: Dong Lishan
Published: April 2022

The problems of subgrade settlement failure and uneven settlement are quite prominent due to hydraulic migration. The loess in the natural state has the characteristics of high strength and low compressibility. Composite foundation method is to set a certain proportion of reinforcement (pile) in the natural foundation, so that the pile and soil jointly bear the load, and has the effect of compaction method and displacement method. Based on the actual case of a highway disease in Shanxi Province, this paper studies the influence of treatment measures of rotary jet grouting pile penetrating or not penetrating the loess soil on the uneven settlement of highway subgrade in loess region by means of field investigation, analysis and numerical calculation. The results found that the lateral friction resistance of rotary-jet grouting pile penetrates through the loess is small. When the rotarjet pile is long and the underlying soft layer is relatively thick (4.5 m), the settlement of the foundation also quickly enters the stable state. When the underlying loess is deep, the settlement of the foundation increases with time.

Published: April 2022

Various vanadates have been investigated to accelerate the development of advanced technologies, especially in the area of electronics. Amorphous FeVO4 was synthesized by the liquid phase precipitation method. This precursor was firstly discharged and then charged as cathode material of lithium second battery, in which the valence of two kinds of metals can be changed. Thermal analysis (TG-DTA), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) have been used for their characterization. The result revealed the existence of two pairs of redox couples, Fe3+/Fe2+ and V5+/V4+. The electrochemical investigation has shown that at higher potentials amorphous FeVO4 can react with 1, 1.5 and 2 mol Li, respectively.

Authors: Han Dawei , Zhang Dongjun , Wang Tianzhong , Yang Weidong
Published: April 2022

Simulative studies on a series of the cylinders subjected to underwater explosion were presented using coupled acoustic-structural analysis in ABAQUS in order to analyze the large local deformation feature and the influence of the outer water tank. The results revealed that large inward local deformation occurs on the front side of the cylinder, and the plastic hinge locates near the boundary of the spherical projection of the explosion to the cylinder with an approximate elliptic type. The inner water and the outer shell’s thickness of double-shell cylinders have great influence on the large local deformation feature of the inner shell, and with the increase of the outer shell’s thickness, large local inward deformation occurs on the back side of the cylinder, which is caused by the local jet effect of the inner water. The research can provide reference to the design and assessment of underwater anti-explosion structures.

Authors: Zhou Yu-Long , Han Lei , Jia Xiao-Jie , Zhao Er-Fei
Published: April 2022

Lattice boom used on the crawler crane are welded by slender high strength steel tubes. Many studies show that the actual bearing capacity of high-strength steel tubes is higher than the stability bearing capacity calculated according to the specification. To obtain the actual bearing capacity of high-strength steel tubes and apply it to engineering practice, a series of axial loading tests are carried out on two kinds of high-strength steel tubes of 20Mn2 and S890 to obtain their damage load. By handling test data, and the coefficient fitting and correction are carried out according to the stability coefficient calculation formula of the Chinese steel structure specification. The results show that it is conservative to calculate the bearing capacity of high strength steel tubes by using the stability curve in the specification, and the bearing capacity of high strength steel tubes calculated by fitted coefficient is more consistent with its actual bearing capacity.

Authors: Zhang Sen , Zhu Shunpeng , Xu Naiqiang
Published: April 2022

As an important basis for its structural optimization design, the heat transfer performance has a key influence on the reliability of automobile brake. Based on the finite element method, the transient heat transfer of automobile disc brake is analyzed under the condition of dynamic convection heat transfer coefficient. According to the simulation results, the CCD (Central Composite Design) sampling scheme is used to transform the optimization variable and target variable into multiple design points in the decision space. The optimization variable includes the total thickness, the height of the ventilation slot, the angle between the sides of the ribs, the number of ribs while the target variable includes the mass and temperature peak. According to the multiple quadratic regression model, the response surface function is constructed, and the approximate model of optimization analysis is obtained. The error analysis shows that the response surface function is equipped with good fitting accuracy. In order to facilitate the extremum search, the optimization of the quality is transformed into the constraint condition, and the multi-objective optimization problem of the brake disc is transformed into the single objective optimization problem. Through the sequential quadratic programming method, the Pareto optimal solution set of the optimal mathematical model is found. The results show that the temperature peak value is reduced by 7.8 % under the condition where the quality of the ventilation plate is basically unchanged. By weighting the Pareto optimal solution sets of different quality intervals, a good result evaluation of ventilation panel optimization is achieved.

Optimal analysis on low frequency line spectrum sound control of power equipment using dynamic vibration absorber
Authors: Ma Jiangang , Wu Jian , Geng Mingxin , Ma Bo , Shen Chen
Published: April 2022

As generated by alternating current with the frequency of 50 Hz, the noise characteristics of power equipment reveal to be low frequency and line spectrum. The paper proposed a method to reduce the noise of the power equipment by installing dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) on the surface of it. The coupling between the attached DVA and the equipment may lead to undesirable frequency shift of the DVA itself, which will diminish the noise suppression effect of the whole system. The traditional passive DVA design method does not consider the effect of dynamic coupling. To solve this problem, global demodulation algorithm is applied to analyze the optimal parameters of DVA, which is integrated in the model of power equipment, to get the lowest single frequency radiated sound power level (SPL) of the equipment. The finite element model is established to verify the noise reduction optimal effect. The results show that the noise reduction effect of the optimized system is significantly improved compared with that using the classical parameter setting. The research can provide references for noise reduction optimization of power equipment in the future.

Published: April 2022

The integrated water distributor (IWD) is the adjustment terminal during the interval injection process. Its quality and performance are directly related to the effect of layered water injection. The IWD’s flow field is considered the research object, and the transient simulation is developed with Fluent dynamic grid and Fluid-Structure Interaction technology. The internal flow of the IWD during closing is simulated, and the mechanical behavior of the valve core is analyzed. The results show that: as the valve opening decreases, the high-speed areas appear at the throat of the valve core and the upper wall of the valve outlet; the throat of the valve presents a higher pressure gradient; the most serious deformation point appears on the lower side of the valve core, and the deformation increases as the valve core move down; the maximum equivalent strain occurs at the root of the valve core and increases as the valve core moves down.

Contact characteristics analysis of angular contact ball bearings with local defect
Authors: Xu Endian , Yang Lihua , Yu Bo
Published: April 2022

The contact angle and load distribution are important indicators for reflecting the operating condition of the angular contact ball bearing (ACBB). However, the raceway with local defect may cause serious diversification of contact angle and contact load. To analyze the effect of defect on bearing performances, a mechanical model considering the centrifugal force and gyroscopic moment of the rolling element is established for the defective ACBB. On this basis, the impacts of number of rolling elements on the load distribution and contact angle of defective ACBB have been evaluated. Also, the influence of defect size is taken into consideration. The results indicate that when a rolling element passes through the defect area, the rolling element will be partially or completely unloaded, while the others are loaded. This condition causes the load distribution and contact angle of ACBB are significantly influenced by the size of the defect. Under high-speed condition, the centrifugal force will aggravate the variation of the load distribution and contact angle in the defect area. The study in current work will be of great significant for revealing the failure mechanism and preventing premature failure for the ACBB.

Published: April 2022

A design of peel-speed sensitive flexible fastener was proposed based on a novel modified polyurethane. Taking the microtrichia of the head-arrester system of lestes barbarous as the bionic prototype, the structure of the micro protuberance was designed as self-mating type with hemispherical caps. Considering the nonlinearities of contact behavior and of the material property, a micromechanical model of typical interlocking element is established. Adopting the explicit dynamics finite element method, the mechanical responses of fastener in peeling are analyzed. The detachment of interlocking element is predicated by taking the total strain energy as an indicator. The influences of peel speed and friction coefficient on the mechanical performances are parametrically studied. The results show that the maximum peel force and the strength increased with respect to the enhancing peel speed because of the intrinsic nonlinearity in the constitutive relation of novel modified polyurethane the investigation adopted. With larger friction coefficient, the maximum peel force, the total strain energy and the corresponding de-adhesion displacements are respectively enhanced.

Published: April 2022

As far as industry, agriculture, urbanization, lithology and climate are concerned, surface-water vulnerability to pollution has not ceased to amplify especially in semi-arid to arid areas. In the countries of the southern shore of the Mediterranean and most particularly in Algeria, surface-water quality is highly impacted by anthropogenic activities and climate change. It thus requires a complete diagnosis of the evolution of these impacts through a survey. The present study aims at characterizing and assessing the temporal evolution of surface-water quality in Sikkak wadi watershed (north-western Algeria), particularly at the Sikkak dam. The methodology that was applied to assess and interpret monthly surface-water quality results gathered throughout an 11-year period of time survey (2005−2015) included the following: a quality-grading method, a trend-following approach, a seasonal analysis as well as a principal components analysis (PCA). The results analyzed according to the classification of the Algerian National Agency for Water Resources (ANRH) revealed that the Sikkak dam water is characterized by a natural mineralization that is good (61.37%) to medium (38.63%) taking into account electrical conductivity (EC), chloride, sodium, calcium, magnesium and sulfate contents. However, it is found to be highly contaminated by organic pollution ranging from bad grade (46.37%) to fairly medium quality (34.98%). COD, BOD, nitrate, nitrite, ammonium and orthophosphate were used as the evaluation parameters. In general and taking into account all the parameters of pollution, the ‘medium’ and ‘good’ classes dominate the quality of the surface water of the Sikkak dam with a percentage of 40.37% and 37.28% successively, followed by the ‘poor’ (20.72%) and ‘very poor’ (1.63%) classes. The trend-following method shows that the surveyed waters moderately tend towards more alkaline and exhibit increasing COD and chloride. Further, the waters show a decreasing EC, BOD5, organic matter, nitrogen and phosphate as well as most of the salinizing and carbonating compounds. This is mainly due to the contribution of wastewater treatment plant in improving the water quality. The PCA confirmed that the different forms of pollution (domestic, industrial, agricultural) and salinization (for 56.77%) are the main factors for the degradation of the quality of the dam water.

Published: April 2022

Degradation mechanism of methyl orange (MO), a typical azo dye, with pyrite (FeS2) activated persulfate (PS) was explored. The results showed that when the initial concentration of MO was 0.1 mM, FeS2 was 1.6 g/L and PS was 1.0 mM, the removal rate of MO could reach 92.9% in 150 min, and the removal rate of total organic carbon could reach 14.1%. In addition, both pH ≤ 2 and pH ≥ 10 could have an inhibitory effect in the FeS2/PS system. Furthermore, Cl− and low concentrations of had little effect on the degradation of MO with FeS2/PS. However, and high concentrations of could inhibit the degradation of MO in the system. Besides, MO in river water and tap water were not degraded in FeS2/PS system, but acidification (pH = 4) would greatly promote the degradation. In addition, the removal rate of MO with FeS2/PS could still reach about 90% after five cycles of FeS2. Furthermore, the intermediates and possible degradation pathways were speculated by LC-MS, and the degradation mechanism of MO by FeS2/PS was that the cycle of Fe(III)/Fe(II) could continuously activate persulfate to produce . The results could provide technical support for azo dye degradation in the FeS2/PS system.
Design-oriented evaluation of the hydrodynamics in a full-scale combined filter-lamella separator for urban stormwater treatment
Authors: Stricker Max , Littfinski Tobias , Heinz Eva , Pecher Klaus Hans , Lübken Manfred , Grüning Helmut , Wichern Marc
Published: April 2022

The development of compact treatment devices with high removal efficiencies and low space requirements is a key objective of urban stormwater treatment. Thus, many devices utilize a combination of sedimentation and upward flow filtration in a single system. This study, for the first time, evaluates the flow field inside a combined filter-lamella separator via computational fluid dynamics. Herein, three objectives are investigated: (i) the flow field for different structural configurations, (ii) the distribution of particulate matter along the filter bed and (iii) the dynamic clogging in discrete filter zones, which is addressed by a clogging model derived from literature data. The results indicate that a direct combination of a filtration stage with a lamella separator promotes a uniform flow distribution. The distribution of particulate matter along the filter bed varies with configuration and particle size. Clogging, induced by particles in the spectrum <63 μm, creates gradients of hydraulic conductivity along the filter bed. After treating about half of Germany's annual runoff-efficient precipitation at a rainfall intensity of 5 L/(s·ha), the filtration rates increase in the front of the filter bed by +10%. Thus, long-term operating behavior is sensitive to efficient filter utilization in compact treatment devices.

HIGHLIGHTS A holistic approach is used to capture the system behavior concerning hydrodynamics, filter resistance and filter clogging. The filter media improves the distribution of flow in the lamella stage. Larger particles utilize only about 50% of the filter area due to inertia effects. Gradients of hydraulic conductivity regionally alter filtration rates and flow rates in the inclined plates.
‘I found what I had lost: myself’. Writing as a form of self-care in times of crisis
Authors: Ostaszewska Aneta
Published: April 2022

This essay is situated within the broad area of autoethnography, particularly referring to the idea of ‘writing about writing’, which is grounded in the reflection of the process of writing and the contexts in which that writing occur. The author employs a personal narrative to reflect on the situation that she had found herself in during the Covid-19 pandemic and which can best be defined by the concept of trajectory. It is a biographical situation marked with chaos and disintegration, evoking identity changes. As a result, the trajectory set new directions for the course of the biography. In the discussion on the schemes of dealing with the trajectory of suffering, author refers to Paul Ricoeur’s narrative concept, in particular the refiguration phase, as a stage of redefining one’s own life situation. Finally, author comes to the conclusion that the process of writing this essay can be viewed as a form of self-care, which Audre Lorde defined as self-preservation.
America in Performance of 20th Century Identity and Individualism in Chrissie Hynde’s Reckless
Authors: Masterson James
Published: April 2022

Chrissie Hynde relocated to London from her native Ohio in 1973. She has now spent well over twice as much time in Britain as she has in America, only moving back briefly to care for her dying parents - whose passing facilitated the releasing of her autobiography: Reckless (2015). When she moved to London she felt she had found her spiritual home, in direct contrast to Akron, her fast changing hometown. In forming this link Hynde can tell us a lot about America from a British perspective. She lived on the front line with, for example, first hand experience of the Kent State University shooting, whilst England still had no place for the Street Fighting Man: Her America is not the wild west of her hero Keith Richards, nor the ‘continuous positioning of himself vis-à-vis America’ of her ex-husband Ray Davies. Hers is the visceral and realistic picture of a failing society. Hynde is a complex character. Famously tetchy, intensely private, why did this American become such an Anglophile, living under the noses of the infamous English media? Cynical of the American Dream she chose to escape to what was the most exciting place in the world of entertainment in the 1970s. Talking of her material heritage she states ‘it was the ‘land of opportunity’ but people like mine didn’t get very many back then’. How prescient she was, as those failures come home to roost now in the politics of the US. Chrissie Hynde is arguably the epitome of the ‘British Other’, a legal alien if you will, offering a perceptive eye and commentary upon the world across the pond. Like Henry James before her, she adds an extra, informed, dynamic in her sharp analysis of America compared to anyone else.

Over recent decades, scholars from a range of disciplines have used life writings from below to explore the lives of people outside elites and the secure middle class. Such texts offer information otherwise unavailable about the decisions people made, and the terms in which they understood or presented their experiences. Three recent monographs about life writings from below in Britain, although dealing with very different genres – pauper letters, working women's autobiographies, military memoirs – across two hundred and fifty years, demonstrate what can be gained from the comparative reading of a corpus of texts.
I’m So Bored with the USA: Reflecting America in British Punk Memoirs of the 1970s
Authors: Raghunath Anita
Published: April 2022

In recent years there have been an increasing number of biographies and autobiographies written by the leading figures of the British punk scene of the Seventies and Eighties. As we pass the 40th anniversary of 1977, it can be argued that the British punk scene has also ‘come of age’ in academia with a number of retrospectives that examine not only the contemporary impact of punk in the Seventies but also the legacy of the punk movement in shaping British culture.

With a focus on John Lydon’s text Rotten: No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs (1993) and Viv Albertine’s Clothes, Clothes, Clothes. Music, Music, Music. Boys, Boys, Boys (2014), this article will examine how these autobiographies draw attention to ways in which the British sub-cultural scene offered a platform through which British culture and identity could be reassessed as anti-American and anti-capitalist. This study will also highlight to what extent the self-reflexive framing of these personal narratives within the larger political, cultural and social landscape, can be read as a characteristic feature of the British punk memoir. Through these texts it is possible to uncover the pivotal role of the British punk scene in the development of a counter cultural identity that mirrored changes in the contemporary national identity. As such, punk memoirs, biographies and autobiographies not only give perspectives on a subversive youth cultural scene but, perhaps more importantly, can offer unique insights into the evolution of post-imperial British identity.
Autobiography through Anecdotes in Joe Pieri’s Isle Of The Displaced
Authors: Zekri Masson Souhir
Published: April 2022

Associated with such life writing genres as (auto)biographies and memoirs, anecdotes are described as stories which “illustrate particular ideas, concepts, and views of the way a life is lived, making considerable editorial commentary on the nature of a particular ideological moment and the effect of that moment on individual lives.”(Encyclopedia of Life Writing) Anecdotes thus focus on, and highlight, episodes of a person’s life by transforming them into tales and stories using fictional narrative techniques and suspenseful plot twists.

Having emigrated from Italy to Scotland at the beginning of the twentieth century and established his fish and chip shop in Glasgow, Joe Pieri was then interned and turned into an “enemy alien” on the day Italy declared war on Britain in 1940. In Isle of the Displaced, his book about this traumatic event, Pieri turns the most marking aspects of his journey to, and life in “Camp S” in Canada into a series of witty and comic anecdotes. This paper focuses on the definitions and history of anecdotal theory in order to analyse Pieri’s fictionalisation strategies and the way these stories function as a psychological dam in times of crisis, in addition to re-inscribing these important events in British and Italian histories. The main contention of this article is that the appeal of fiction increases during life’s most difficult times mainly thanks to the imaginative and tragic-comic powers of literariness.
Patient and provider experience with virtual care in a large, ambulatory care hospital in Ontario, Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic: An observational study (Preprint)
Authors: Chu Cherry , Nayyar Dhruv , Bhattacharya Onil , Martin Danielle , Agarwal Payal , Mukerji Geetha
Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND

Virtual care use increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact on patient and provider experience of that shift is unclear.

OBJECTIVE

We evaluated patient and provider experience with virtual visits across an academic, ambulatory hospital in Toronto, Canada and assessed predictors of positive experience with virtual care.

METHODS

Survey data was analyzed from consenting patients who attended at least one virtual visit (video or telephone) and from consenting providers who delivered at least one virtual visit. Distributions for demographic variables and responses to survey questions are reported, with statistical significance assessed using chi-square tests and t-tests. Ordinal logistic regression was used to identify any patient predictors of responses.

RESULTS

During the study period, 253 patients (mean age(SD) 45.1 years (15.6)) completed 517 video visit surveys and 147 patients (41.6 (16.4)), completed 209 telephone visit surveys. A total of 75 and 94 providers completed the survey in June 2020 and June 2021, respectively. On a scale of 1-10 regarding likelihood to recommend virtual care to others, fewer providers rated a score of 8 or above compared to patients (providers: 66.0% for video and 52.2% for telephone versus patients: 80.3% for video and 71.8% for telephone). Patients of non-White ethnicity had lower odds of rating a high score of 9 or 10 compared to white patients (OR(95% CI) 0.52(0.28-0.99)).

CONCLUSIONS

Patient experiences with virtual care were generally positive, but provider experiences were less so. Findings suggest potential differences in patient experience by ethnicity, warranting further investigation into equity concerns with virtual care.
Lipstick on a pig: Qualitative understanding of the efforts to redesign electronic audit and feedback reports for primary care. (Preprint)
Authors: Rouleau Geneviève , Reis Catherine , Ivers Noah Michael , Desveaux Laura
Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND

In Ontario, Canada, a government agency known as Ontario Health is responsible for making audit and feedback reports available to all family physicians. The confidential report provides summary data on three key areas of practice: safe prescribing, cancer screening, and diabetes management.

OBJECTIVE

This report was redesigned to improve its usability and the objective of this study was to explore how the redesign was perceived.

METHODS

We conducted qualitative semi-structured interviews with family physicians who had experience with both versions of the report, recruited through purposeful and snowball sampling. We analysed the transcripts following an emergent and iterative approach.

RESULTS

Saturation was reached after 17 family physicians participated. Two key themes emerged as factors that impacted the perceived usability of the report: (1) alignment between report and recipients’ expectations and (2) capacity to engage in quality improvement. Family physicians expected the report and its quality indicators to reflect best practice, to be valid and accurate. They also expected the report to offer feedback on clinical activities they perceived were within their control to change. Further, family physicians expected the goal of the report to be aligned with their perspective on feasible quality improvement activities. Most of these expectations were not met, limiting the perceived usability of the report. The capacity to engage with audit and feedback was hindered by several organizational and physician-level barriers including the lack of fit with existing workflow, competing priorities, time constraints, and insufficient skills for bridging the gaps between their data and the corresponding desired actions.

CONCLUSIONS

Overall, the redesigned feedback report was not perceived as highly usable, given the misalignement between report and family physicians’ expectations as well as limited capacity to engage with the report. Consequently, the potential impact on clinical practice may be limited. Co-interventions to address the barriers of using audit and feedback report, as well as creating space for bridging together audit and feedback designers and recipients are avenues to consider for improving usability and effectiveness such quality improvement initiatives.
Rehabilitation Approaches and Strategies in the Management of Adult Patients Following Pelvic Fractures: Protocol for a Scoping Review (Preprint)
Authors: Sobantu Ntombenkosi Appears , Tshabalala Muziwakhe Daniel , Chetty Verusia
Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND

Pelvic fractures can lead to disability and a poor health-related quality of life, thereby contributing to the burden of disease in South Africa. Rehabilitation plays an important role in improving the functional outcomes in patients with pelvic fractures. However, there is limited published research that presents optimal interventions and guidelines to improve outcomes in affected individuals.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this study is to examine and map the range of and gaps in rehabilitation approaches and strategies used by health care professionals globally in the management of adult patients with pelvic fractures.

METHODS

The synthesis of evidence will follow the framework outlined by Arksey and O’Malley and supported by the Joanna Briggs Institute. The identification of research questions; the identification of relevant studies; the selection of eligible studies; charting data; collating, summarizing, and reporting of the results; and consultation with relevant stakeholders will be undertaken. Peer-reviewed articles written in English; from quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods studies; and searched through Google Scholar, MEDLINE, PubMed, and Cochrane Library will be considered. Studies eligible for selection will be full-text articles written in English about adult patients with pelvic fractures. Studies on children with pelvic fractures and on interventions following pathological pelvic fractures as well as opinion papers and commentaries will be excluded from the study. Rayyan software will be used for title and abstract screening to determine inclusion in the study and to improve collaboration between the reviewers. The Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (version 2018) will be used to appraise the quality of the studies.

RESULTS

This protocol will guide a scoping review to examine and map the range of and gaps in rehabilitation approaches and strategies used by health care professionals globally in the management of adult patients with pelvic fractures, irrespective of level of care. Impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions in patients with pelvic fractures will be highlighted, which will give an indication of the rehabilitation needs of the affected individuals. Results of this review might provide evidence for health care professionals, policy makers, and scholars to aid rehabilitative care and further integration of patients into health care systems and community.

CONCLUSIONS

The rehabilitation needs of patients with pelvic fractures will be drawn from this review and will be presented in a flow diagram. Rehabilitation approaches and strategies in the management of patients with pelvic fractures will be identified to guide health care professionals in the promotion of quality health care for these patients.

„VELIKI RESET“: POKUŠAJ REANIMACIJE GLOBALIZMA
Authors: Gajic Aleksandar
Published: April 2022

U radu se detaljno analizira koncept „Velikog reseta“ od strane njegovih glavnih propagatora Klausa Švaba, Tijeri Malerea, princa Čarlsa i Kristaline Georgijeve i to metodom analize sadržaja njihovih govora, knjiga te dokumenata Svetskog ekonomskog foruma. Potom se analiziraju vizije ciljeva ovog globalnog poduhvata, uključujući i njihove geopolitičke dimenzije, stavljene u savremeni najširi društveni kontekst. U završnom delu rada se traže idejni i ideološki koreni koncepta „Velikog reseta“; isti se pronalaze u ideologiji globalizma iz čeka se izvlači jasan i nedvosmislen zaključak da ovaj koncept predstavlja novu, recikliranu verziju globalističkih ideja koja pokušava da im udahne novu životnu snagu zarad dostizanja identičnih krajnjih ciljeva ali uz pomoć novih metoda.
El otro cuerpo de la ciudad. Uso y función del escudo de armas de la Ciudad de México desde la perspectiva de su cabildo secular (1523-1629)
Authors: Aranda Ruiz Alejandro
Published: April 2022

Este artículo se centra en el papel que desempeñó el escudo de armas de la Ciudad de México como segundo cuerpo de la ciudad y de su cabildo secular entre 1523 y 1629. Tras analizar las circunstancias en las que se produjo la concesión del escudo en 1523 y los significados de éste, el artículo aborda el uso y función de las armas cívicas y los diferentes contextos en los que era empleado por el cabildo secular. Todo ello muestra cómo la heráldica constituyó, para las autoridades municipales de la Ciudad de México, una poderosa herramienta de representación que, además de proyectar su concepción de México como ciudad conquistada y de conquistadores, dotaba a la colectividad mexicana de un cuerpo místico y trascendente que hacía de la ciudad una realidad eterna.
De la alegre compañía a la parábola evangélica y al desierto bíblico (o viceversa): a propósito de un cuadro atribuido al pintor flamenco Joos van Winghe
Authors: Azanza López José Javier
Published: April 2022

Este trabajo tiene su origen en el recurso del “cuadro dentro del cuadro” característico de la pintura costumbrista de Flandes y de los Países Bajos en los siglos XVI y XVII, en la que las denominadas Merry Companies (alegres compañías) conectan con frecuencia con pasajes bíblicos o mitológicos para alcanzar una lectura en clave moral. En este contexto se inscribe Compañía elegante, tocando con antorchas (1570-1603), atribuido a Joos van Winghe, escena nocturna con la música como protagonista en la que el virginal que toca una muchacha está decorado con una escena de difícil interpretación. Un análisis más profundo nos conducirá por diversos escenarios que transitan desde el desierto bíblico y la parábola evangélica hasta la fiesta galante, por medio de los cuales se teje una tupida red de pensamiento encaminada, en última instancia, a la denuncia de los deleites mundanos y a adoptar una actitud vigilante ante el Juicio Final.
La Exposición Internacional de Carteles de 1934 en la Ciudad de México y el desarrollo de un “estilo nacional”
Authors: De Luca Marco
Published: April 2022

Este artículo se centra en la Exposición Internacional de Carteles de 1934, presentada en la Ciudad de México y en otras urbes del país. Desde la perspectiva de la historia conectada, se argumenta que dicha exposición dio cuenta de la inserción de México en el campo de las artes gráficas con fines didácticos y de propaganda, al tiempo que desembocó en la incorporación de nuevos estilos, técnicas y contenidos en la cartelería mexicana que eventualmente tendrían repercusión en la Liga de Escritores y Artistas Revolucionarios y luego en el Taller de Gráfica Popular. Al prestar atención a las transmisiones iconográficas, estilísticas y de contenido de los carteles soviéticos e italianos a la iconografía mexicana, se muestra cómo se incorporaron las vanguardias extranjeras en el proceso de definición de un estilo “nacional”.

Abstract: Due to various features and economic benefits cloud platform has rapidly become famous and is widely used for giving services on over internet. Due to immediate increase in the number of users on cloud platform, data centers are also developed rapidly in terms of hardware resource, traffic volume, virtual resources, and storage. Thus, it is a making cloud platform or solution architectures very difficult handle all the resources on cloud like how many resources are running without using it, duration, by user, etc. To manage the unused resources which are running on the cloud platform which will cost for the organization, this system is going to help to cleanup unused resources and gives the notification to the users and helps organization to save the cost of those resources. The monitoring dashboard system will show all the resources of cloud platform which are running in respect to each service and can be easily monitor on dashboard and resources cost can also be shown on dashboard and as well as on chart system with respect to various services. This paper discusses about how unused cloud resources will get cleanup and monitoring the resources using dashboard for useful insights which will be helpful for decision making process in the organization.
