Published: October 2022

Objective

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is an uncommon, but potentially morbid, complication following foot and ankle fractures. Current standard is to not administer thromboprophylaxis to patients with such injuries. Nonetheless, patient and fracture factors might affect this risk/benefit consideration. The goal of this study was to determine what patients are most at risk.

Methods

The M53Ortho Pearldiver database was used to identify patients with fractures isolated to the foot and ankle that were treated non-operatively or operatively. Patients with pilon, other appendicular fractures remote from the foot and ankle, and other traumatic injuries were excluded. The 90-day occurrence of VTE was identified based on codes for deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. Characteristics of those patients who did and did not have VTEs were compared using chi-square analyses. Multivariate logistical regression was then performed to determined factors independently associated with VTE. Finally, timing of VTE relative to fracture was analyzed.

Results

A total of 298,886 patients with isolated foot or ankle fractures were identified, of which 1,661 (0.56%) had VTE in the 90 days following fracture. In terms of timing, 27.3% occurred in the first week, and 49.8% occurred in the first three weeks. Independent risk factors for VTE included (in decreasing order):prior VTE (odd ratio [OR] = 25.44), factor V Leiden (OR = 24.34), active cancer (OR = 1.84), specific fracture relative to metatarsal fracture (multiple fractures [OR: 1.51], ankle fracture [OR = 1.51], and calcaneus fracture [OR = 1.24]), surgical treatment (OR = 1.41), male sex (OR = 1.19), greater Elixhauser index (OR = 1.05), and increasing age (OR:1.05 per decade) (p<0.05 for each).

Conclusions

The present study found that, although only 0.56% of isolated foot and ankle fractures had a VTE within ninety days. Defined risk factors, such as Factor V Leiden, prior VTE, surgical treatment, active cancer, specific fracture patterns, and surgical treatment significantly affected the odds of their occurrence.

Authors: Kaggwa Mark Mohan , Najjuka Sarah Maria , Bongomin Felix , Mamun Mohammed A. , Griffiths Mark D.
Published: October 2022

Background

Depression is one of the most studied mental health disorders, with varying prevalence rates reported across study populations in Uganda. A systematic review and meta-analysis was carried out to determine the pooled prevalence of depression and the prevalence of depression across different study populations in the country.

Methods

Papers for the review were retrieved fromPubMed,Scopus,PsycINFO,African Journal OnLine, andGoogle Scholardatabases. All included papers were observational studies regarding depression prevalence in Uganda, published before September 2021. The Joanna Briggs Institute Checklist for Prevalence Studies was used to evaluate the risk of bias and quality of the included papers, and depression pooled prevalence was determined using a random-effects meta-analysis.

Results

A total of 127 studies comprising 123,859 individuals were identified. Most studies were conducted among individuals living with HIV (n= 43; 33.9%), and the most frequently used instrument for assessing depression was the Depression sub-section of the Hopkins Symptom Checklist (n= 34). The pooled prevalence of depression was 30.2% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 26.7–34.1,I2= 99.80,p<0.001). The prevalence of depression was higher during the COVID-19 pandemic than during the pre-pandemic period (48.1% vs. 29.3%,p= 0.021). Refugees had the highest prevalence of depression (67.6%; eight studies), followed by war victims (36.0%; 12 studies), individuals living with HIV (28.2%; 43 studies), postpartum or pregnant mothers (26.9%; seven studies), university students (26.9%; four studies), children and adolescents (23.6%; 10 studies), and caregivers of patients (18.5%; six studies).

Limitation

Significantly high levels of heterogeneity among the studies included.

Conclusion

Almost one in three individuals in Uganda has depression, with the refugee population being disproportionately affected. Targeted models for depression screening and management across various populations across the country are recommended.

Belongingness challenged: Exploring the impact on older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Derrer-Merk Elfriede , Ferson Scott , Mannis Adam , Bentall Richard P. , Bennett Kate M.
Published: October 2022

Objectives

The sense of belonging is a fundamental human need. Enacting it through face-to-face social activities was no longer possible during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this study, we investigate how the sense of belonging, and how it is enacted, changed longitudinally amongst older adults in the UK. In addition, we examine the interplay of the sense of belonging and resilience over time.

Methods

We employed a longitudinal qualitative research design to explore the experiences of older adults during one year of the COVID-19 pandemic (April 2020-April 2021). The analysis was undertaken with constructivist grounded theory.

Findings

Before the pandemic older adults were free to engage in social relationships with family and friends, often enacted within social activity groups where they felt valued and gained positive experiences. During the pandemic face to face enactment of belongingness was reduced; adjustments needed to be made to maintain the sense of belonging. The experience of older adults was heterogeneous. We examine three themes. First, how belongingness was enacted prior to the pandemic. Examples include: family holidays, visiting each other, sports activities, eating with friends and family, and visiting cultural events. Second, how participants adapted and maintained their social involvement. Examples include: distanced face-to-face activities; and learning new technology. Third, for some, a belongingness gap emerged and persisted. There was an irretrievable loss of family members or friends, the closure of social groups, or withdrawal from groups as priorities changed. As a consequence, of challenged belongingness, participants expressed increased loneliness, anxiety, social isolation, frustration and, feelings of depression. For many, the disrupted sense of belonging no longer fostered resilience, and some previously resilient participants were no longer resilient.
Dressed for eternity: Memory rituals and burial attire in contemporary Denmark
Authors: Mackinney-Valentin Maria
Published: October 2022

In Denmark, preparing the deceased for the funeral is almost entirely left to professionals. In most cases, next of kin say their final goodbyes at the site of the death. Only an estimated 20 per cent view the deceased after they have been prepared for the funeral. Death is widely considered a taboo, something difficult and even inappropriate to talk about. An estimated 80 per cent of Danes die in an institution either at a hospital, hospice or nursing home. The institutionalization of death, culture of individualism and absence of shared faith have diffused rituals regarding death in Denmark. There are hardly any formalized rituals for the relatives to engage with in the liminal space between the time of death and the funeral. The hypothesis of the article is that the choice of burial dress either as an individual, a family or institution holds further potential for making the transition from death to funeral more meaningful in contributing to the narratives of a person’s life. It requires a transference of symbolic meaning to a material object, mainly the final outfit. In this context, funeral attire becomes a material bridge between death and the beyond. Due to the intimate nature of the dress, the selection involves sharing the person’s life stories, values and preferences. As a ritual, the process may provide the bereaved with agency at a moment when they often feel paralysed. The chosen objects are transient, being part of the coffin ensemble, but hold lasting symbolic meaning as a visual biography for the loved ones to share. The article is based on case studies of the practices of selecting burial clothes with a hospice, two funeral homes, a nursing home and a priest in the period 2019–21, with a gap in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Special Issue: ‘Dream Factories: Prince, Sign o’ the Times, Box Sets and Cultural Artefacts’
Authors: Alleyne Mike , Fairclough Kirsty
Published: October 2022

This editorial examines historical and artistic contexts within which Prince’s Sign o’ the Times box set reissue might be viewed and heard, while also considering the overall posthumous output from the Estate. The discussion therefore explores the commercial and other functions of box sets in general and Prince’s reissued recordings in in particular, potential symbolic signification, and the critical polarization that often accompanies such releases. Moreover, the box metaphor is employed to address academic partitioning and intellectual conservatism in Prince historiography.
Prince and post-civil rights era Black music aesthetics
Authors: Valnes Matthew
Published: October 2022

This article compares specific studio takes and live performances from the super deluxe Sign o’ the Times box set to argue that the ways Prince and his band integrate multiple styles and genres into their performances participate in the creation and development of a post-civil rights era Black popular music aesthetic. In particular, I demonstrate how the intellectual and physical labour of musical performance and sonic interaction found throughout the box set expands conceptions of what Black popular music should and could sound like. This article analyses four performances. It begins by examining two versions of ‘Witness 4 the Prosecution’. In version 1, Prince utilizes a more guitar-based rock sound, while the second presents a more synth-based approach that incorporates the new sound possibilities of music technologies. Through this comparison, I demonstrate how the way Prince works through these performances represents the kind of sonic freedom and flexibility that was a hallmark of his work. I then turn to a comparison between the original release of ‘Forever in My Life’ and the live performance in Utrecht. While the original release emphasizes Prince’s vocals and the drum part, the live performance becomes a vehicle for improvisation and interaction. By analysing the distinctions between the studio and the live performance, I argue that by incorporating elements like improvisation and call and response, Prince and his band situate their approach to post-civil rights era Black popular music aesthetics within the trajectory of Black music history.
Epidemiological trend and associated demographic factors for influenza cases in Tanzania, 2016-2019
Authors: Shedura Vulstan , Hussein Ally , Mchau Geofrey , Nyanga Salum , Kamori Doreen
Published: October 2022

Background: Influenza is the major public health of concern that accounts for up to one million of total health related global death annually.

Objectives: To determine epidemiological trend and associated demographic factors for influenza cases in Tanzania from 2016 to 2019.

Methodology: The cross-section study design was conducted using secondary data obtained from laboratory information system from 2016 to 2019. Logistic regression model was used to check the significant predictors for influenza.

Results: A total of 7260 samples were collected between 2016 to 2019 from clients with median age of 4 years [IQR=25; 26-1], most samples were from patients aged under five years. Most samples (19%) collected from Mwananyamala hospital. Overall sample collection was lower in 2016, but increased from 2017 to 2019. Trend shows strong evidence of correlation between SARI and ILI case definition on influenza positivity (r=0.78[0.60-0.799]). Laboratory confirmed cases was 17% with higher prevalence of influenza A [12% (881/7260)] as compared to influenza B [5% (373/7260)]. We observed the seasonality of influenza where higher number of cases occurred in rainy and cold seasons (January to June) than the rest of other months. When bivariate and multivariate logistic regression was done, the factors of age, case definition type and sentinel site were significantly associated with influenza positivity (p<0.05). Patients who presented with SARI were more likely to have influenza as compared to those who had ILI symptoms (aOR 0.75, 95% CI [0.64-0.89], P=0.001). Those who presented with ILI symptoms were more likely to be detected for influenza B as compared to those with SARI.

Conclusion and recommendations

Having known the seasonality of the disease apprise the proper allocation of resources for the surveillance activities. Since Influenza viruses may have pandemic potential, surveillance and data review activities are inevitable to create epidemiological awareness for prompt public health action.
New bone formation in the mandibular corpus after mucosal healing in a patient with medication related osteonecrosis of the jaw after treatment by bisphosphonates for multiple myeloma: a case report and pictorial review
Authors: Debiève Maxime , Crevecoeur Hervé
Published: October 2022

Objective: First cases of osteonecrosis of the jaw in patient exposed to bisphosphonates were presented in 2003. Bisphosphonates related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) was further extended to medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) to include antiresorptive and anti-angiogenic drugs. Some directives were described for the treatment of this disease in function of its gravity. Treatments of high stage of MRONJ are subject to discussion because of their morbidity. Complete healing is difficult to reach and often needs combination of invasive and non-invasive treatment.

Case report: We report and illustrate a clinical case of new bone formation after MRONJ on pamidronate and zoledronate treatment for multiple myeloma. The treatment of choice was sequestrectomy and conservative treatment.

Discussion: The consensus to reach a complete healing after MRONJ is not already known. More studies are needed.
Are the resources provided by Business Incubators suitable to the needs of their customers?
Authors: Hanson Suzan Lee , Araujo Fernando Oliveira de , Hanson Dennis
Published: October 2022

Highlights: Studies on business incubation reveal that little is known about what incubatees really want and need. What are their challenges? Are the available resources adequate to meet them? This work attempts to find methods to assist in answering these questions.
Goal: The present study investigates the suitability of resources supplied by incubators to the needs of incubated firms with the goal of proposing a methodology to assess resources’ customer satisfaction and identify opportunities for satisfaction enhancement.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The methodology integrates the research on Models and Typologies of incubators with the Resource-Based View and adopts a comparative customer-supplier framework aiming to enable a systemic approach to customer satisfaction. For validation purposes, empirical investigation was conducted in an incubator located in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Field investigation adopted mixed methods through semi-structured interviews and convenience sample selection.
Results: The empirical testing shows the methodology meets its purposes. Findings on customer satisfaction indicate three clear opportunities towards its enhancement.
Limitations of the investigation: The methodology was validated in one incubator with small population and sample.
Practical Implications: The methodology applied to a single incubator provides in-house reference to satisfaction enhancement. Aiming further-reaching initiatives, the methodology should be evaluated on larger samples and tailored to address cross-incubator comparison.
Originality/ Value: The method combines two stablished theoretical strands on incubation with a comparative customer-supplier approach. The resultant framework enables a systemic approach to customer satisfaction grounded in a set of field survey-collected information.
implementation of Open Banking in Brazil
Authors: Gonçalves Arthur Vilela , Araujo Fernando Oliveira de
Published: October 2022

Goal: To provide an overview of the implementation of Open Banking in Brazil from the perspectives of financial sector professionals and specialists.
Design / Methodology / Approach: A systematic literature review was conducted on three databases: Scopus, Web of Science, and BDTD. This led to the selection of 15 articles discussing the implementation of Open Banking in Brazil based on key variables from international literature. Questionnaires were used to investigate divergences and additions to the theoretical findings among a group of 150 specialists. The results obtained in the questionnaire were analyzed through the application of multivariate statistical techniques, in addition to qualitative techniques.
Practical Implications: The main benefits and difficulties faced by countries that have already experienced Open Banking implementation were identified. The perception of respondents from different groups was investigated regarding the implementation of this system in Brazil and potential business models stemming from this phenomenon. Thus, this study offers an overview of Open Banking implementation in Brazil from the perspectives of financial sector specialists.
Originality / Value: The overview of Open Banking implementation in the Brazilian banking sector is highly connected to investments in technology. This process has been disruptive, requiring banks to adopt a client-centric strategy instead of one based on products and services. As for the regulatory aspects, despite the country possessing a favorable environment for the development of new products and services stemming from Open Banking, banks are facing challenges to fulfill the implementation schedule established by the Brazilian Central Bank.

Games as a didactic tool (e. g., puzzles) are gaining recognition in environmental education to promote skill development, but also to develop a specific understanding of the natural world. However, a children’s puzzle containing representations of nature may unwillingly lead to “misconceptions” of biodiversity themes and processes, and an over-simplification of the relationship between people and nature. To solve this problem, positive connotations of biodiversity may prompt a conceptual change to a more nuanced, multifaceted conception of biodiversity.
Field resistance phenotyping of durum wheat to fusarium head blight in Algeria
Authors: HADJOUT Salah , BOUZNAD Zouaoui , MEKLICHE Leila , ZOUIDI Mohamed
Published: October 2022

In Algeria, several research studies point to the importance of the causative agents of fusarium head blight. Indeed, our research aims to study the phenotyping of the resistance of some durum wheat genotypes for their behavior to fusarium head blight, caused by four isolates of Fusarium culmorum (Wm.G.Sm.) Sacc.. For this purpose, the disease assessment is carried out in the field. The different evaluation criteria are: incubation period, measurement of the mass of a thousand grains and AUDPC (Area Under the Disease Progression Curve). The results obtained revealed that the varieties and lines resulting from crosses had a quite different level of susceptibility with regard to the four isolates studied and no genotype showed complete resistance (immunity) under our growing conditions. Among the tested material, the lines showed higher resistance than their parents. The reasons for this phenomenon is that crosses between genotypes implicated cultivars from Europe and Western Asia (Syria), where wheat domestication has occurred very early (between 12 000 and 10 000 years BP), which may be promising sources of resistance to fusarium head blight. The results also show a slight variability in behavior, also linked to the aggressiveness of the Fusarium species studied in this work.
Enhance the phytoremediation efficiency of Echinochloa colona (L.) Link for Pb-contaminated soil by phosphorus solubilizing bacteria
Authors: DO Quang Trung
Published: October 2022

A promising solution for phytoremediation of metal-contaminated soils is to use plants in combination with phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB). In this study, we subjected to isolate PSB from paddy soil and investigate their ability in improving the phytoremediation of lead (Pb2+) by a weed plant (Echinochloa colona (L.) Link) as well as in promoting the growth of E. colona under Pb stress condition. Total 06 PSB (labeled from TB01 to TB06) were isolated and the TB04 showed the strongest phosphate-solubilizing activity with the highest values of phosphorus solubilization index (PSI = 7.13) obtained from Ca3(PO4)2. Especially, the phosphorus solubilizing ability of the TB04 strain was not affected by the high Pb2+concentration. The TB04 strain was identified as Pseudomonas putida Trevisan, 1889 (accession number FJ976601.1). Furthermore, E. colona inoculated with TB04 strain significantly increased the phytoremediation efficiency of Pb from Pb-contaminated soil and the growth was enhanced clearly. These results suggest that the TB04 strain could potentially use as an inoculant in combination with E. colona to construct novel constructed wetlands for phytoremediation of metal-contaminated soil.

Published: October 2022

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) is a promising solution to improve plant growth under salt stress. Among PGPR, Pseudomonas is a genus of bacteria that possesses a variety of mechanisms in promoting plant growth and inducing resistance to biological as well as non-biological stress. This study aimed to isolate the genus Pseudomonas from the salty-contaminated rhizosphere of plant root collecting at Nam Dinh, and also investigate their functions in promoting the growth of peanut seedlings under salty conditions. Nine Pseudomonas bacteria were isolated, but only seven of them were identified by Pseudomonas-specific primers. Two of those seven isolates, ND06 and ND09, were chosen based on their characteristics in promoting plant growth such as the production of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), phosphate solubilization, and nitrogen fixation. In addition, both two strains also carried the coding gene for 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase which plays an important role in supporting plants to withstand various stress conditions. Especially, the ND09 strain improved the growth parameters of peanut seedlings under normal and salty stress conditions; while the ND06 only presented the plant growth enhancement under salty stress but not in normal conditions. These results suggest the ND09 strain may be used as a biological agent for eco-friendly agricultural practices in the future.
Novel procedure for the identification of a starting point for the CMP
Authors: Trum Christian , Sitzberger Sebastian , Rascher Rolf
Published: October 2022

In the field of precision optics, more and more glass materials that are difficult to machine are being used because of their interesting optical properties. At the same time, the geometries are getting more demanding and the tolerances to be achieved are tighter. The establishment of an efficient process chain is therefore becoming an ever-greater challenge. Particularly in the field of CMP, knowledge of the machining properties of pads and slurries are required to design efficient processes. This knowledge has to be gained through time-consuming in-house tests, as the manufacturers of the consumables are usually only able to provide basic data. In addition, the boundary conditions under which the data were collected are often incomplete defined and thus not comparable. The novel methodical procedure presented here for the initial design of CMP processes is based on a standardized procedure for carrying out the tests. From the resulting database, a starting point for the design of own processes can be identified quickly and unerringly. This article describes the structure of the procedure as well as the necessary background. In addition, the visualization and the procedure for selecting start parameters are discussed using an example application.
Forced Labor Camps for Jews inReichskommissariatUkraine: The Exploitation of Jewish Labor within the Holocaust in the East
Authors: Dean Martin Christopher
Published: October 2022

Using mainly survivor testimonies, more than 120 forced labor camps for Jews have been identified in Reichskommissariat (Rk) Ukraine, a larger number than previously known. Many were road construction camps along Transit Highway IV, where living conditions were harsh and Jews that fell sick were routinely shot. Similar camps also extended eastward into the Dniprpetrovsk and Cherkasy regions. In addition, a few camps for Jews engaged in bridge construction were established on the fringes of Rk Ukraine, using the labor of Jews from Transnistria. In the Volynia, Rivne, and Brest regions the Germans also established camps for work in agriculture, peat-digging, forestry, lumber, and for skilled craftsmen. The Jews in most of these camps were killed by the end of 1942, either together with the inmates of nearby ghettos, or separately a few weeks later. The location of many camps in the countryside facilitated the escape of some Jews. A few remnant ghettos, such as that in Volodymyr-Volynsky, existed into 1943. Little trace remains of these camps today, even where the Jewish gravesites have been marked by memorial stones.

Published: October 2022

The deactivation of nickel catalysts in the dry reforming of methane (DRM) process has been one of the issues of interest to researchers. In this research, the effect of active phase and support promoter uses and synthesis method on synthesized Ni–Co/Al2O3–MgO nanocatalysts efficiency in wall coated microreactor on dry reforming of methane process studied. To determine the characteristics of the synthesized samples, XRD, BET, FESEM, and Ft-IR analyses have been performed. Analyses show that the use of ultrasound waves in the synthesis of catalysts improves the catalyst surface morphology so that about 82% of the particles of the synthesized sample are smaller than 100 nm and , increases the specific surface area to an average of 10%, and makes its structure smaller. Also, the total pore volume on the surface of the samples also shows a 10% increase. The use of promoters increases the catalyst activity and makes it more stable up to 18 h on stream. The use of a wall-coated microreactor improves heat transfer, easier access of reactants to active sites, no pressure drop, and higher activity than a conventional U-type fixed bed reactor. Nanocatalysts with Ni/Co = 5 and Al/Mg = 5 has shown the highest and most stable activity throughout the temperature range in the DRM process.
Durability evaluation of mechanical and thermal properties of graphite–copper hybrid powder filled polypropylene composites
Authors: Dweiri Radwan
Published: October 2022

The sustainability of polymer composites in real time environments can be ensured by durability studies. This paper aims to evaluate the durability of mechanical and thermal properties of graphite (G) and copper (Cu) particle-filled polypropylene (PP) composites. Three types of composites, PP/G, PP/Cu, and PP/G/Cu, were prepared by melt compounding and compression molding. The compressive strength, microhardness, and thermal properties of the composites were tested after 2 and 90 days of storage under ambient conditions. The results showed a noticeable decrease in the compressive strength of the composites, reaching ∼60–70 % compared to that of the neat PP and showed a ductile-like fracture mode. A further decrease in the strength values of ∼90 % occurred when the composites were tested after 90 days and a brittle-like fracture mode was observed. The addition of G and Cu to PP improved its microhardness and a drastic decrease also appeared after 90 days compared to that of their counterparts tested after 2 days. DSC measurements showed that the melting temperature, T
m, decreased and crystallization temperature, T
c, increased indicating a better ability of the fillers for nucleation in PP and obstructing its crystal growth. The degree of crystallinity, X
c, of PP in the composites decreased compared to that of the neat PP and it increased when tested after 90 days compared to that tested after 2 days.

Modern trends in the development of Russian society define new tasks for the education system, one of which is the active involvement of students in the practical activities of the discipline being studied. We propose the introduction of a system-activity approach to teaching physics at technological university. The advantages of the approach presented include its consistency and productivity, more individual and flexible character in comparison with traditional training. The most important component of the system-activity approach of teaching physics is a properly structured sequence of educational activities that organizes the development of the studied material; the acquisition of skills to perform computational tasks; the implementation of experimental activities and receiving research products. The implementation of the system-activity approach is considered on the example of the section “Magnetismˮ of the physics course. The purpose of the study. Determination of the specifics of using a system-activity approach in the process of teaching students at a technological university. Methodology (materials and methods). In the course of the research, methods of studying and analyzing psychological, pedagogical and methodological literature, generalizing pedagogical experience of using a system-activity approach in the process of teaching physics were used. Results. The article presents a meaningful model of a system-activity approach in teaching physics and describes the possibilities of its usage as an effective approach in the process of teaching students at technological university. An example of the usage of a system-activity approach in teaching physics from the section “Magnetismˮ in the form of an algorithm for the work of students to obtain a research product is presented. The effective usage of the approach in educational activities by the method of statistical verification of the student T-criterion at technological university is reasoned. The conclusion is made that the system-activity approach allows to combine cognitive, developmental and motivational functions; to identify professional knowledge, skills and methods of activity, personal qualities, the system of professional values of students at technological university.
