Published: August 2022

E lbow dislocation in children is uncommon condition in children, it’s occurred in 3 to 6% of all elbow injuries. Only case reports and small series reported in the literature. The aim of our study is to evaluate the outcomes of open reduction of neglected elbow dislocation (NED) in children. A retrospective review of 26 neglected elbow dislocation was treated by open reduction at our institution between January 2010 and December 2018 was performed. Age, mechanism of injury, associated fracture, manipulation by bone- setters, infectious complications, were recorded. The SOFCOT criteria was used to assess the stiffness of the elbow in preoperative and in postoperative. Besides, in postoperative we used DI SCHINO Criteria to assess useful ROM and subjective criteria to evaluate pain and performance of daily activity. A total of 26 patients with a mean age of 10 years ranging from 5 to 14 years, were identified and followed for a median of 4 years postoperatively. The median duration before presentation was 5 months ranges from 22 days to 5 years. All patients except one were manipulated by bonesetters with massage and manipulation. The dislocation was postero-lateral in 15 cases (58%). 17 patients (65%) have associated fracture. 17 patients went for internal approach, 5 posterior approach, and 4 with combined internal and external approach. Reduction of the ulnar humeral joint was assisted with a lengthening of the triceps with a Speed V-Y muscle plasty in 13 patients. According to SOFCOT criteria at the last follow-up we obtained 15(58%) of minim and moderate elbow stiffness, and according to DI- SCHINO criteria at the last follow-up, 7(27 %) has a very good result, 7(27%) has a good result. The open reduction and the early rehabilitation remain the key stone of treatment of NED in children regardless the chronicity of the injury. Prevention remains the best way to improve the prognosis of neglected elbow dislocations.

Published: August 2022

Contemporary uncemented femoral revision hip systems have become commonly used over the past decade and have enabled the reconstruction of leg length, offset and anteversion as independent variables through the use of modular junctions. Modular junction failures between the proximal body and distal stem have been described with revision systems, although this is rare. We sought to identify the survivorship of one revision system in a salvage arthroplasty scenario where no host bone support of the modular junction was present. From a series of 136 patients, 15 patients (16 hips) were identified without host bone support of the modular junction with a mean radiological follow up of over 6 years (76 months +/- 35 months). There have been no cases of prosthetic fracture over the follow-up duration, with two revisions performed for reasons of aseptic loosening and infection. The mean BMI of the study group was 30.2 with 78% of the cohort classified as overweight or obese. It is well recognised that, host bone support of the modular junction is preferable, however the satisfactory outcomes over the midterm in these complex patients suggests that modular revision systems remain an option.
Pediatric distal humeral supracondylar fracture – achievement of optimal pinning configuration
Authors: Chong Han Hong , Qureshi Assad
Published: August 2022

Pediatric supracondylar humeral fracture is com- monly managed using closed reduction and per- cutaneous Kirschner wires pinning. However, there is no consensus on optimal pinning configuration in the literature. Our study aims to review the pinning configuration in our department, correlate our results with the available literature, and suggest the optimal configuration using basic biomechanics principles. We performed a retrospective review on children that were treated with K-wire pinning for supracondylar fracture at our institution between August 2017 and August 2019. Intra-operative antero-posterior view fluoroscopic images were used to measure the pin separation ratio (PSR), pin crossing angle (PCA), medial inclination angle (MIA) and lateral inclination angle (LIA). Pearson Correlation was used to identify the relationship between the variables. Ninety-one patients were included for analysis (39 male: 52 female), with a mean age of 6. Average PCA in the crossed pin and lateral-entry only technique CA was 75° and 12°, respectively. Mean crossed pin and lateral-entry only technique PSR is 0.54 and 0.17, respectively. There was a significant difference in both mean PSR and PCA between the configurations (p <0.01). In subgroup analysis, optimal PSR > 0.33 and PCA >90° were best achieved in crossed pinning using 1 medial and 2 lateral pins. Assessing the biomechanical characteristics of the different fixation techniques, we have found that 2 lateral divergent pins and 1 medial pin using the crossed pin technique optimized both the PSR and PCA. We would recommend this configuration to optimize the stability of the fixation construct.
The prevalence of frozen shoulder in patients with limited Dupuytren disease

Published: August 2022

Evidence from the literature suggests an association between Dupuytren disease and frozen shoulder syndrome, both clinically and histologically. An increased tendency for fibrotic healing after repetitive microtrauma could be an underlying mechanism. However, it remains unclear how strong this associa- tion is and if only mild signs of Dupuytren disease would also increase the risk of frozen shoulder. In 61 patients, we examined the hands for signs of Dupuytren disease and the shoulders for pain and limited motion. We found a 21,7% prevalence of frozen shoulder syndrome in patients with signs of Dupuytren disease versus 13,9% in those without. The other way around, in patients with frozen shoulder syndrome the prevalence of Dupuytren disease was 50% versus 36.7% in those without frozen shoulder syndrome. These differences were not statistically significant, contrary to similar research in the literature. However, methodological issues, especially the choice of control group, may explain the differences between our findings and previous studies. We conclude that the clinical association between Dupuytren disease may not be so strong as previously thought, especially in patients with only limited signs of the disease.

Published: August 2022

Terörizm, 21. Yüzyılda farklı isim, amaç ve tekniklerle birçok ülkede varlık göstermektedir. Bazen bağımsız, çoğu zaman bir ya da birkaç devletin güdümünde hareket eden terör örgütleri doğduğu bölgede kalmamakta, geniş bir alana yayılmaktadır. İletişim ve ulaşım tekniklerinin gelişmesi terörün eylem pratiğini kolaylaştırmaktadır. Hedefinde olan ülkelerin ekonomisini, siyasetini, politikalarını, yatırımlarını, sosyal hayatını, demografik özelliklerini, askeri politikalarını olumsuz etkilemektedir. Silahlı eylemlerle sadece güdümündeki bölgeyi etkilemekle kalmamakta, ülkelerin küresel anlamda siyasi, ekonomik iş birliğini sekteye uğratmakta ve zarar vermektedir. Aynı zamanda yatırımları durduran, refahın yönünü değiştiren terörün bitirilmesi için ortak söylemlerin kullanıldığı ancak ortak eylemlerin uygulanamaması teröre alan sağlamakta ve yayılımını kolaylaştırmaktadır. Bu çalışmada terörizm, küresel kamusal kötü bağlamında ele alınmış, ülkeler açısından ortaya çıkardığı olumsuzluklar irdelenmiştir. Nitel bir araştırma olarak tasarlanan bu çalışmada terörizmin beslendiği ve terörizme zemin hazırlayan her türlü argümanın ortadan kaldırılması gerekliliği üzerine odaklanılmıştır. Küresel bir sorun olan terörizmin çözümünün de küresel ortak bir mücadeleyle sağlanabileceği önerilmektedir.
Antik Akdeniz Bölgesinde Salgın Hastalıkların İnanç Değişiklikleri Üzerindeki Etkileri
Authors: TURGUT Murat
Published: August 2022

İnsanlık tarihi boyunca görülen salgın hastalıklar insanların korkulu rüyaları olmuştur. İnsanlar salgının mikroplardan kaynaklandığını bilmediği için uzunca bir süre salgının tanrılar tarafından gönderildiklerini düşünmüşlerdir. Atina salgınından itibaren ise salgının dinsel sebepli olmadığı da düşünülmeye başlanmıştır.

Salgın hastalıkların toplumlar üzerindeki en önemli etkisi öldürme güçleri olmuştur. Tarih boyunca özellikle de eskiçağda görülen salgın hastalıklar yüksek ölüm oranlarına sahip olmuşlardır. Salgınların öldürme güçlerinin yanında sosyal, ekonomik ve dini alanlarda pek çok değişime sebep oldukları bilinmektedir.

Salgınların tanrı tarafından gönderildiği düşüncesi salgının gene tanrı tarafından ortadan kaldırılabileceği inancını getirmiştir. İnsanlar salgından kurtulmak için tanrılarına dualar etmişler ve onlar için çeşitli sunular gerçekleştirmişlerdir. İnandıkları tanrısal güçlerin salgını durdurmada yetersiz olduklarını gördükleri zaman bazı insanlar dinden uzaklaşmaya başlamışlardır. Bu insanlar inançsızlık, panteondaki bir diğer tanrıya daha fazla önem verme veya dışarıdan bilinmeyen yeni dinleri kabul etme yollarından birini seçmişlerdir. Belirtilen yollardan son ikisi, ilk belirtilene göre daha çok tercih edilmiştir.

Salgın hastalıklara karşı insanların davranışları toplumdan topluma çeşitlilik göstermiştir. Toplumların reaksiyonları genellikle yeni inançların kabulü veya o inançlarda çareler aramak olmuştur. Bu çalışmada salgın hastalıkların sonucu antik Akdeniz toplumlarında yaşanan dinsel gelişmeler ve özellikle salgınların yeni inançlara geçişteki önemi incelenmiştir.

Published: August 2022

Ahîlik kendine has ilkeleri ve sistemiyle mensuplarına bir hayat nizamı sunmaktadır. Bu hayat nizamı dine ve dinin temel prensiplerine dayanmaktadır. Bu bakımdan İslâm dininin dünya ve ahiret hayatı arasında dengeli olmayı öğütleyen prensibinin Ahîlik Teşkilatı üzerinde önemli bir tesiri bulunmaktadır. Ahîliğin çalışmaya önem veren ve meslek eğitimini önceleyen anlayışı, dünya hayatının devamı konusunda önemlidir. Ahlakı, yardımseverliği, cömertliği ve birlik şuurunu benimseyen ilkeleri ise teşkilatın dünya ve ahiret arasında dengenin sağlanması konusundaki hassasiyetini göstermektedir. Anadolu’ya göç eden Türklerin bu coğrafyaya uyum sağlaması ve bölgede kalıcı olmalarında, Selçuklu ve Osmanlı Anadolu’sunun tarihî kodlarında Ahîliğin önemli bir tesiri bulunmaktadır. 21. yüzyılda insanlık tarihine sunacağımız medeniyet tasavvurunda Ahîliğin dikkate değer bir yönlendirici olacağı açıktır. Bu çalışma, tarihî bir olgu olan ancak ilkeleriyle tarihi aşan mesajlar veren Ahîlik Teşkilatı’nı konu edinmektedir. Araştırmada teşkilatın dünya ve ahiret arasında dengeli olmayı öne çıkartan söylemi ve Kur’ân ayetleri çerçevesinde şekillenen temel ilkeleri üzerinde durulmaktadır.

E-consumer rights aim to provide consumers and sellers a fair opportunity when dealing online, which requires both parties to know their rights and ethics. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to verify the impact of consumer rights available on reputed online store websites in Saudi Arabia (KSA) on the customer service, using expectation confirmation theory (ECT). A random sampling technique was used for primary data collection from a sample size of 152 faculty members. IBM Software Package for Social Sciences SPSS-26 and structural equation modeling (SEM) LISREL software programs were used for data analysis. The findings show that e-consumer rights have positive and significant effects on customers’ e-reliability and e-responsiveness. In addition, consumers’ income significantly influences their e-responsiveness, while the number of e-dealings per month significantly influences both e-reliability and e-responsiveness. The results of the study also provide an inventory of eight reasons why consumers prefer to deal with local electronic stores over foreign ones. Based on these findings, theoretical importance, practical implications, and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Representations of Women in Daniyal Mueenuddin’s Saleema and Qaisra Shahraz’s Zamindar’s Wife: A Feminist Stylistic Study
Authors: Afzal Anila , Sheikh Asmat A.
Published: August 2022

Gender stereotyping is an age old phenomenon used by patriarchal societies to maintain the hegemony of men over women. In this connection, literature serves as a powerful tool that the male society uses to promote sexism by representing woman as inferior Other of man. This research employs Mill’s feminist stylistic framework to determine how male and female authors differ in representations of women in their works. For this purpose, feminist stylistic analysis of Mueenuddin’s (2009) ‘Saleema’ and Shahraz’s (1998) ‘Zamindar’s Wife’ has been undertaken. Using qualitative method, the analysis has been done on the phrase/sentence level by adopting purposive sampling technique. The results indicate that sexism and gender bias against women dominate in Mueenuddin’s writing who has tried to maintain the male status quo unchallenged. In comparison, Shahraz has portrayed an unconventional and bold female character, yet her writing, too, is not totally free from gender stereotypes because escape from ‘internalized patriarchy’ is not easy. The study is significant as it validates and reinforces the previous studies that intervene on behalf of women by exposing and fighting the sexist attitude present against them in literary works. Future researchers can investigate the same data by analysing the text at the discourse level as proposed by Mills to further explore the issue.

Internet and mobile users have conveniently adopted Roman script since long for writing Urdu. But it is being used in an irregular and disorganized way. Therefore, an organized and systematic Roman script is imperative to explore ample possibilities of its usage. The current study is qualitative in nature. The Urdu Romanization table is used as a tool in this regard. This tool has been framed by finding out equivalents of Urdu alphabets in the Roman letters so that the sounds and etymology of the traditional Pearsio Arabic script of Urdu from different languages (Sanskrit, Persian, Arabic, and Turkish) could be used and preserved in a proper way.
A TRANSLATION STUDY OF SELECTED SURAHS OF HOLY QURAN ON COMPARATIVE ANALYTICAL BASIS OF HUMAN TRANSLATION VS MACHINE TRANSLATION
Authors: Zubair Hassan Bin , Sadia Dr. Saba , Sibtain Dr. Masroor
Published: August 2022

This research explores the comparisons to human performance which are often made in quite general and exaggerated terms. Thus, it is important to be able to account for differences accurately. This paper reports a simple, descriptive scheme for comparing translations, which is applied to four Surahs of the Holy Quran, and compares the human translation with machine translation. The method applied for the study is qualitative. Within the qualitative domains, one of the four methods of assessment of translation has been adopted from Waddington (2001). The analysis is done on four parameters namely textual, syntactic, semantic, and social. The results obtained from the data confirm that human translation is far better and superior in comparison with machine translation as human translation almost covers the four above-mentioned aspects. On the other hand, machine translation lacks and misses many important levels of translation and does not convey the true spirit of meaning from one language to another language. However, machine translation is quicker and faster as compared to human translation. It is concluded that machine translation is not as reliable, trustworthy, and dependable as human translation. This study has a prospect for further studies with some limitations of human translation.

Objective: To determine association of cervical dialatation rate with body mass index (BMI). Introduction: The prevalence of overweight and obesity is increasing among women of childbearing age. Observational studies show that obese women have up to a 2-fold increased risk for a cesarean delivery compared with normal-weight women. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of maternal overweight and obesity on the pattern of labor progression in pregnant women with a singleton, term pregnancy with spontaneous onset labour. Methods: We analyzed data from 1531 pregnant women with a term pregnancy those were admitted in SSMC ,Rewa from August 2017- July 2018 with spontaneous onset labour pain at term. The median duration of labor by each centimeter of cervical dilation was computed for under weight(Body mass index BMI<18.5 kg/m2), normal-weight (BMI_ 18.5 –24.9 kg/m2), overweight (BMI >24.9-29.9 kg/m2), and obese (BMI>30 kg/m2) women and used as a measurement of labor progression.  Results: After considering inclusion and exclusion criteria all laboring females were allowed to progress naturally and four hourly partogram was recorded. All females who required augmentation ,caesarean or instrumental delivery were excluded from the study.

Published: August 2022

Background; Both overweight and obesity have been identified as risk factors for sexual dysfunction in men, but the relationship between sexual function and amount of body fat in females is still obscure. There are few reported studies in women assessing the relationship between female sexual function index (FSFI) and body weight. Objectives; To determine the sexual function of overweight and obese women. Subjects and methods; The study- included overweight and obese women were randomly chosen. Result; There was statistically significant relation between obesity and arousal, lubrication, orgasm and total FSFI score. Conclusion; Body mass index and obesity may affect sexual function in women. This effect can be seen in all sexual function parameters (libido, arousal, lubrication, satisfaction and orgasm) decreased with rising BMI, although definitive conclusions need to be studied further. Given that obesity can affect sexual function in a variety of its dimensions, and obesity and overweight are related to physical health, healthcare providers try to preserve physical health and improve sexual satisfaction by proposing BMI reduction, which is considered one of the most important factors in mental health so provide the basis for women’s health.

Accurately resolving the timing of formation of Au-Sb-W deposits hosted in metasedimentary rocks has been the aim of extensive research but has also led to controversy. In this study, we present high-precision laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) U-Pb dating of hydrothermal apatite and wolframite from the Woxi Au-Sb-W deposit, South China. Veins are dominated by quartz, native gold, auriferous pyrite, arsenopyrite, stibnite, scheelite, wolframite, and apatite. Wolframite grains yield U-Pb ages of 144.8 ± 1.5 Ma (2s) and 140.3 ± 1.4 Ma, which overlap with apatite ages of 148.7 ± 2.4 to 144.1 ± 2.7 Ma. Collectively, the new data confirm the Woxi deposit is solely Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous in age, despite previous dates using other isotopic systems that were as old as Silurian. Our compilation of geologic characteristics, tectonic setting, and geochronology of Au-Sb-W deposits from the western part of the Jiangnan belt shows there were two episodes of Au-Sb-W metallogenesis. These events in the Late Triassic and Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous related to an extensional setting following Triassic intracontinental orogeny and to Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous extension associated with Izanagi plate rollback, respectively.
A Role for Crustal Assimilation in the Formation of Copper-Rich Reservoirs at the Base of Continental Arcs
Authors: Tassara Santiago , Ague Jay J.
Published: August 2022

Understanding the behavior of chalcophile elements during the evolution of arc magmas is critical to refining models for the formation and distribution of porphyry copper deposits used in mineral exploration. Because magmas in continental arcs undergo copper depletion during their early differentiation, a widely held hypothesis posits that the removed copper is locked at the base of the crust in copper-rich cumulates that form due to early sulfide saturation. Testing this hypothesis requires direct evidence for such copper-rich reservoirs and a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms driving sulfide saturation. Interaction between oxidized magmas and reducing crustal material in island arcs has been shown to be an efficient process causing sulfide saturation. However, the extent to which crustal assimilation impacts the flux of chalcophile elements during magmatism in thick continental arcs remains to be established. Here, we provide a deep perspective into these problems by studying a suite of subarc cumulate rocks from the Acadian orogen, New England (USA). These cumulates record the imprint of subduction zone magmatism and represent the residues left behind during the genesis of intermediate to evolved Acadian magmas (ca. 410 Ma). We find that the most primitive Acadian cumulates are enriched in copper (up to ~730 µg g–1) hosted by sulfide phases, providing direct evidence for the formation of lower crustal copper-rich reservoirs. The Acadian cumulates reveal a wide range of δ34S values, from –4.9‰ in the ultramafic rocks to 8‰ in the most evolved mafic rocks. The negative δ34S values observed in the most primitive and copper-rich cumulates (avg –3‰) reflect the assimilation of isotopically light sulfur from surrounding sulfidic and graphite-bearing metasedimentary rocks (δ34S of –19 to –12‰), whereas the more evolved cumulates with positive δ34S signatures may have formed from different magma batches that experienced less sediment assimilation. The assimilation of these reducing metasedimentary rocks caused a critical drop in oxygen fugacity (~DFMQ –2.5 to –1.9; FMQ = fayalite-quartz-magnetite buffer) in the evolving magmas, ultimately leading to extensive sulfide saturation and the consequent formation of copper-rich subarc cumulates. Assimilation-driven sulfide saturation may be a common process at the root of thickened arc crusts that triggers the formation of lower crustal copper-rich reservoirs, which play a pivotal role in the fate of copper during arc magmatism. Thus, deeply buried reducing metasedimentary crustal material at the base of continental arcs can act as a barrier to the magmatic flux of chalcophile elements and may play a crucial role in the genesis and distribution of porphyry copper deposits.

ABSTRACT The family unit is the bedrock of any society. Unfortunately, this unit is being attacked from within and without by problems like divorce, illegitimate children and widowhood rites which are rocking the very foundation upon which the society is built. The thrust of this work which is on the Obolo (Andoni) people seeks to examine the relationship between the marital status of a woman and the legitimacy it confers on her Obolo born child. In other words it seeks to answer the following questions: are there truly illegitimate children in Obolo land? How has Obolo customs and tradition treated the problem of illegitimate children over time? What prospects exist for such children in Obolo land? Recommendations were made on how to ameliorate these problems. Key Words: Obolo land, Andoni, legitimacy, Marital Status
