Aprendizagem, Desempenho Escolar e Qualidade de Vida: Fatores de aproximação e de complemento
Authors: Cancian Queli Ghilardi , Cazarolli Micheli , Fachin Paulo Cesar
Published: September 2021

Inúmeros são os fatores que podem influenciar o desempenho escolar, assim, a autopercepção da criança ou adolescente quanto a condição de vida e saúde pode comprometer sua motivação frente ao aprendizado.  Um fator determinante é a qualidade de vida, mais do que um conceito a qualidade de vida expressa uma condição de vida, da realidade que abrange o bem-estar total dos seres humanos, em sua condição física, mental e emocional, além da condição econômica e das interações sociais. Envoltos nesta questão, traça-se como objetivo a investigação dos fatores de risco relacionados à qualidade de vida e o desempenho escolar da criança e do adolescente. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo de caráter descritivo, construído a partir da revisão bibliográfica de artigos, dissertações e teses publicados em bases de dados on-line. Os resultados encontrados apontaram para diferentes fatores, que podem limitar o desempenho escolar, entre eles a baixa qualidade de vida e qualidade social do aluno.  De modo que, a baixa qualidade de vida apresenta-se como resultante dos diversos fatores que abrangem as condições socioculturais, ambientais, físicas, emocionais e econômicas, do aluno e dos familiares.

Authors: Kay Robert Daniel , Taylor Adam James , Tye Erik Yeh , Bryman Jason Andrew , Runner Robert Patrick
Published: September 2021

Introduction:

High-percentage outpatient total joint arthroplasty (TJA) performed in a safety net hospital system has not been described. A rapid recovery protocol (RRP) was instituted at our safety net hospital that allowed eventual transition to outpatient TJA.

Methods:

Retrospective review of all primary total knee and hip arthroplasty performed by a single surgeon (RR) using an RRP was performed. The initial cohort of patients was monitored overnight with the goal of next-day discharge (n = 57), and as the RRP evolved, the subsequent cohort of patients had the possibility of same-day discharge (PSDD, n = 61). Outcome measures included the rate of same-day discharge in the PSDD cohort and short-term adverse event rates.

Results:

In the PSDD cohort, 86.9% (n = 53) of patients were successfully discharged on the day of surgery, and hospital length of stay was decreased by 17.7 hours (13.5 versus 31.2 hours, P < 0.0001). Comparing the next-day discharge and PSDD groups, no significant differences were found in 30-day emergency department visits (5.3% versus 3.3%, P = 0.67), 90-day complications (15.8% versus 13.1%, P = 0.79), 90-day readmissions (0% versus 3.3%, P = 0.50), or 90-day revision surgeries (0% versus 3.3%, P = 0.50).

Conclusions:

This study demonstrates that the transition to outpatient TJA can be successfully performed in a safety net hospital system without increasing short-term adverse events.
Brief aan Peter Hoefnagels

Letter to Peter Hoefnagels

This is a letter written by Brigitte Chin-A-Fat to the late Peter Hoefnagels, who was one of the Dutch pioneers in the field of divorce mediation and a professor of criminology and family law at Erasmus University Rotterdam. In 1997, TMD published an article from his hand in which he wrote how he had become inspired by the potential of divorce mediation and about his (first) experiences with this ‘new’ mode of dispute resolution in family disputes. The original article by Peter Hoefnagels, dating from 1997, is reproduced in 2021 in TMD in view of its relevance today and precedes the letter by Brigitte Chin-A-Fat.

Hoefnagels invented the so-called ‘divorce announcement’ and introduced psychology to the legal world of divorce and family mediation. Anno 2021, there are many (legal) developments which are bound to have an impact on the reform of Dutch divorce procedure.

The Dutch government has set up pilot projects experimenting with inter alia a ‘joint access’ to the family court. Many of these developments are in line with Hoefnagels’ suggestions to avoid harm being inflicted on the ex-spouses and notably their children to the largest extent possible. The author discusses some of the current pilot projects and connects the rationale underlying these experiments to Hoefnagels’ ideas as presented 25 years ago. She also looks into the future, notably which changes are likely to occur in the next 25 years in the field of divorce mediation.
A decade of whale watching in an important tourist desitination in the Pacific coast of Colombia: Challenges for proper management
Authors: Avila Isabel Cristina , Ortega Luis Fernando , Pretel Cristina , Mayor Gustavo
Published: September 2021

Uramba Bahía Málaga Natural National Park is one of the most important places visited by tourists to see humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) in Colombia. Humpback whales arrive from Southern Chile and the Antarctic Peninsula every year between May and December to reproduce, give birth and rear calves. To evaluate the current state of whale-watching in Málaga we analyzed tourist visitation data from 2011 to 2019 during the peak whale-watching season (July–October), and during one week in October 2020. We found that whale-watching activity has increased considerably. In 2019, 21,186 tourists realized whale watching in Málaga. Whale watchers per month increased by 108% and monthly whale-watching boat trips increased by 140%, in the last decade. Currently there are in average 19 boat trips per day (±18.0), and most boats are small (≤15 m). Tourists came mainly from Colombia (90%). August was the most important month for whale watching. Although environmental education activities are undertaken, currently responsible whale-watching guidelines are overlooked. At present, whale-watching activity produces important economic benefits for local people and neighboring sites, with a monthly expenditure of at least $362,409 USD, but to ensure the sustainable continuity of this activity, negative impacts on whales need to be minimized. We classified management challenges into social, economic and biological aspects. From a social perspective, operators should form a whale-watching community association; this would improve cooperation amongst operators, promote good practices in whale-watching and reduce pressure on whales. Economic recommendations include 1) whale-watching trips handled mainly by local people; 2) ticket prices unification; and 3) investment in tourist facilities. Biological recommendations focus on the welfare of whales and include: 1) follow the current whalewatching recommendations strictly; 2) reduce transit speeds to below 10 knots in the area during whale season; 3) use propeller guards; 4) promote land-based whale watching; 5) implement acoustic whale tourism; 6) reinforce environmental education programs; and 7) support long-term monitoring and scientific research. Based on these three aspects, we urge environmental and ethnic authorities, conferring with relevant stakeholders, to determine the whale-watching carrying capacity of the area and to promote a responsible tourism. Authorities need to strengthen the monitoring, oversight and control of this growing tourist activity in order to ensure its long-term persistence.
Centrum przesiadkowe w Bielsku-Białej jako szansa na rewitalizację terenów przydworcowych i scalenie rozdzielonych torami części miasta
Authors: Stangel Michał
Published: September 2021

Realizowane w ostatnich latach w wielu miastach Polski centra przesiadkowe są nie tylko okazją do modernizacji infrastruktury komunikacyjnej i integracji różnych środków transportu, ale też do aktywizacji oraz rewitalizacji sąsiednich terenów miejskich. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie przypadku Bielska-Białej, gdzie trwają prace studialne i planistyczne mające określić zasady ukształtowania centrum przesiadkowego. Jedną z metod poszukiwania optymalnych rozwiązań był studialny konkurs architektoniczno-urbanistyczny, obejmujący obszar ok. 30 ha w rejonie dworca kolejowego. Przyznano w nim dwie równorzędne główne nagrody, w tym za propozycję rozwiązań urbanistycznych oraz komunikacyjnych i powiązanie rozdzielonych terenami kolejowymi części miasta, zespołowi pracującemu pod kierunkiem autora (Michał Stangel, Tomasz Bradecki, Michał Beim, Anna Czapla, Katarina Kędrak). Metody opracowania koncepcji obejmowały analizy urbanistyczne, obserwacje w terenie oraz wariantowe studia projektowe. W rezultacie w koncepcji zaproponowano kształtowanie zwartej, wielofunkcyjnej i zielonej przestrzeni miejskiej w oparciu o sekwencję przestrzeni publicznych jako konkretyzację idei zrównoważonej mobilności oraz miasta zwartego w odniesieniu do konkretnej lokalizacji. Przykład ten może być interesujący w trzech aspektach: możliwości aktywizacji zaniedbanych terenów miejskich i scalanie miasta, kształtowania intermodalnego, „zielonego centrum przesiadkowego” promującego zrównoważoną mobilność; a także szerzej – wykorzystania studialnego konkursu w procesie poszukiwania optymalnego ukształtowania przestrzennego obszarów okołokolejowych.

Attribution of authorship in instant messaging software applications, based on similarity measures of the stylometric features’ vector
Authors: Mazurek Marcin , Romaniuk Mateusz
Published: September 2021

This paper describes the issue of authorship attribution based on the content of conversations originating
from instant messaging software applications. The results presented in the paper refer to the corpus of conversations conducted in Polish. On the basis of a standardised model of the corpus of conversations, stylometric features were extracted, which were divided into four groups: word and message length distributions, character frequencies, tf-idf matrix and features extracted on the basis of turns (conversational features). The vectors of users’ stylometric features were compared in pairs by using Euclidean, cosine and Manhattan metrics. CMC curves were used to analyse the significance of the feature groups and the effectiveness of the metrics for identifying similar speech styles. The best results were obtained by the group of features being the tf-idf matrix compared with the use of cosine distance and the group of features extracted on the basis of turns compared with the use of the Manhattan metric.
Synergia jako wytyczna do budowania

Published: September 2021

Złożoność oraz zróżnicowanie przestrzeni miejskiej są wartością, decydują o jej jakości szczególnie w obszarach
śródmiejskich i centralnych. Dzięki zróżnicowaniu możliwe jest zadziałanie mechanizmów
synergii oraz symbiozy. Dla sukcesu projektowania urbanistycznego kluczowa jest pełna i weryfikowalna kwantyfikacja oraz waloryzacja złożoności i różnorodności, a więc warunków dla symbiozy oraz wystąpienia efektu synergii.
Graficzny zapis relacji przestrzennych, typowy dla prac urbanistycznych z wykorzystaniem grafów, wydaje się obiecujący dla zobiektywizowania efektów.
KONTINUITET RAZVOJA DRŽAVNOSTI BOSNE I HERCEGOVINE OD PRVOG ZASJEDANJA ZAVNOBIH-a 1943. GODINE DO REFERENDUMA GRAĐANA O SUVERENOSTI I NEZAVISNOSTI 1992. GODINE
Authors: Pejanović Mirko
Published: September 2021

Obnova i razvoj državnosti Bosne i Hercegovine u drugoj polovini dvadesetog stoljeća odvija se u kontinuitetu u periodu od odluka ZAVNOBiH-a 1943. do referenduma građana o suverenom i nezavisnom državno-pravnom statusu Bosne i Hercegovine 1992. godine. U vremenu od pet decenija, Bosna i Hercegovina je prošla tri društveno-istorijska perioda. Prvo, to je period razvoja Bosne i Hercegovine u doba državnog centralizma u jugoslovenskoj federaciji od 1945. do 1963. godine. U tom periodu, prema istraživanjima akademika Dušana Bilandžića, Bosna i Hercegovina nema sve odlike samostalnosti u privrednom, socijalnom i kulturnom razvoju. Bosna i Hercegovina je imala primarnu ulogu u razvoju bazne industrije, što je bilo nametnuto saveznim petogodišnjim planovima privrednog razvoja. Drugi period razvoja državnosti Bosne i Hercegovine odvija se od 1963. godine, nakon ustavnih promjena, pa sve do 1990. godine. U ovom periodu Bosna i Hercegovina postiže nove dimenzije u svojoj samostalnosti i odgovornosti za sopstveni razvoj privrede, obrazovanja i kulture. Ovaj period akademik Dušan Bilandžić (2007) naziva zlatnim dobom u razvoju državnosti Bosne i Hercegovine. Treći period u razvoju državnosti Bosne i Hercegovine započinje istorijskim preokretom kojim se izvodi politička pluralizacija i uvodi višepartijski sistem u bosanskohercegovačkom društvu 1990. godine. Kriza međustranačkih odnosa u višestranačkoj Skupštini Bosne i Hercegovine u odnosu na političke koncepcije budućnosti Bosne i Hercegovine, nakon disolucije SFRJ, rješava se provođenjem referenduma građana o suverenom i nezavisnom statusu države Bosne i Hercegovine 29. februara i 1. marta 1992. godine. Pozitivan ishod izjašnjavanja 64% građana Bosne i Hercegovine koji su izašli na referendum postaje osnova za dobijanje međunarodnog priznanja 6. aprila 1992. godine i članstva u OUN – 22. maja 1992. godine. Od tog vremena Bosna i Hercegovina egzistira u statusu suverene i nezavisne države.
POVIJESNA UTEMELJENOST DRŽAVNOSTI BOSNE I HERCEGOVINE
Authors: Šehić Zijad
Published: September 2021

U članku autor ukazuje na historijske prijelomnice, ključne za izgradnju identiteta bosanskohercegovačke posebnosti i paradigme jedinstva u različitosti. Promatra dugu genezu bh. državnosti, od vremena Kulina bana (1180– 1204) u kojem je afirmirana srednjovjekovna bosanska država, koja je svoju kulminaciju doživjela tokom vladavine Tvrtka I Kotromanića (1353–1391) kada je postala kraljevinom (1377). Period osmanske, austrougarske i uprave Kraljevine SHS / Kraljevine Jugoslavije autor promatra u kontekstu međunarodne diplomatije, javnog i tajnog aspekta nacionalnih težnji prema Bosni i Hercegovini te metodama njihove realizacije. Procesu obnavljanja državnosti Bosne i Hercegovine posvećena je posebna pažnja. Ukazano je na proces disolucije SFRJ i pokušaje osporavanja državnosti Bosne i Hercegovine, naglašavajući značaj probosanskih snaga koje su bile zaslužne za očuvanje nezavisnosti, cjelovitosti i suvereniteta međunarodno priznate države Bosne i Hercegovine.
THE GREAT SERBIAN THREAT, ZAVNOBIH AND MUSLIM BOSNIAK ENTRY INTO THE PEOPLE’S LIBERATION MOVEMENT
Authors: Hoare Marko Atilla
Published: September 2021

From the start of the uprising in summer 1941, the Communist Party of Yugoslavia conceived of the People’s Liberation Struggle in BosniaHerzegovina as a specifically Bosnian-Herzegovinian liberation struggle, waged under Bosnian-patriotic slogans. Nevertheless, the status of BosniaHerzegovina within the future Yugoslav state was not definitely resolved until November 1943. This period – autumn 1943 – witnessed the mass influx of Muslim Bosniaks into the People’s Liberation Movement, definitely transforming it from a movement that was overwhelmingly ethnic-Serb in composition into one that had a large Muslim Bosniak component as well. A decisive catalyst for the mass entry of Muslim Bosniaks in East Bosnia into the NOP was the fear among them that Hitler would cede East Bosnia to Nedić’s Serbia, thereby establishing a Great Serbia in which the Muslim Bosniaks would be subjected to genocide. The KPJ, by championing BosnianHerzegovinian self-determination, was able to win over a large part of the Muslim Bosniak population that feared the Great Serbian threat. This paper will look at the relationship between the Great Serbian threat and the influx of Muslim Bosniaks into the NOP during 1943.
PROSLAVA ZAVNOBIH-A 1969. GODINE
Authors: Katz Vera
Published: September 2021

Zanimljivost proslave 25. novembra iz 1969. jeste u tome što je ovaj datum te godine i službeno ozvaničen državnim praznikom Socijalističke republike Bosne i Hercegovine. Obilježavanje ovog važnog datuma iz bosanskohercegovačke historije smješteno je u kontekst važnih političkih, privrednih, društvenih, kulturnih i drugih promjena u jugoslavenskoj državi koje su se postupno odvijale već od sredine 60-ih godina, tj. u vrijeme davanja većih političkih ovlasti republičkim vladama. Kako je taj proces tekao u Bosni i Hercegovini može se analizirati na primjeru obilježavanja 26. godišnjice ZAVNOBiH-a. Tih je svečarskih dana u Sarajevu 29. novembra, na Dan Republike, Josip Broz Tito prisustvovao premijeri filma Bitka na Neretvi u novootvorenom modernom Kulturno-sportskom centru Skenderija, a dan kasnije, na svečanoj sjednici Akademije nauka i umjetnosti Bosne i Hercegovine, uručena mu je diploma prvog počasnog člana ove najviše naučne institucije u Bosni i Hercegovini. To je bilo vrijeme snažnog senzibiliteta jugoslavenske javnosti prema Bosni i Hercegovini nakon razornog zemljotresa u Banjoj Luci i Bosanskoj krajini, koji se dogodio samo mjesec dana ranije (27. 10. 1969), i Titove posjete postradalom stanovništvu dan kasnije (28. 10. 1969) obećavajući im pomoć cijele jugoslavenske zajednice. Značaj Bosne i Hercegovine u izgradnji jugoslavenske države Tito je naglasio i 29. novembra povodom premijere filma s poznatom tematikom iz Drugog svjetskog rata i podsjećanja na herojske bitke koje su se vodile na bosanskohercegovačkoj teritoriji.
ZAVNOBIH KAO HISTORIJSKI ODGOVOR NA VELIKODRŽAVNE POLITIKE PODJELE I UNIŠTENJA BOSNE I HERCEGOVINE
Authors: Bećirović Denis
Published: September 2021

U radu autor, na temelju objavljene i neobjavljene arhivske građe i relevantne literature, analizira i prikazuje velikodržavne politike podjele Bosne i Hercegovine u periodu između dva svjetska rata i u Drugom svjetskom ratu, kao i historijski značaj odluka ZAVNOBiH-a kojima su negirane velikodržavne politike. Autor ukazuje na činjenicu da ZAVNOBiH predstavlja historijski odgovor antifašističkih snaga na velikosrpsku i velikohrvatsku politiku teritorijalne podjele i uništenja Bosne i Hercegovine.
MEDIJSKA PREZENTACIJA ZAVNOBIH-a U PERIODU 1995.–2017.
Authors: Poloni Željka
Published: September 2021

Medijska politika u Bosni i Hercegovini od samog početka rata do danas uglavnom ima dvojako i politički koordinirano izvještavanje o temi bosanskohercegovačke državnosti. Snažna poslijeratna intervencija međunarodne zajednice u medijsku oblast više je išla u pravcu uspostavljanja slobodnih medija i sprečavanja govora mržnje nego u pravcu konkretnog onemogućavanja stvaranja etnonacionalnih “slobodnih” medija koji su iskorišteni kako bi osnažili etničke podjele. Rezultat toga je oštro podijeljen javni diskurs, općenito i o bosanskohercegovačkoj državnosti, ali i o ZAVNOBiH-u. U ovom su članku kritički analizirani načini na koje se piše o ZAVNOBiH-u u poslijeratnim i današnjim dnevnim listovima. Analiza je podijeljena u dva dijela, u prvom su prikazani primjeri pozitivnog ili neutralnog govora o ZAVNOBiH-u, u kojima je on mahom predstavljen kao temelj državnosti Bosne i Hercegovine, a u drugom su tekstovi s negativnim tonom koji sadrže otvoreni pokušaj i besramno krivotvorenje historije. Najveća pažnja posvećena je antipropagandi prema ZAVNOBiH-u zbog toga što je to, u jednom dijelu Bosne i Hercegovine, politički kreiran i najučestaliji vid pisanja o ovoj temi.
ZAVNOBIH – BOSNA I HERCEGOVINA KAO ANTIFAŠISTIČKA ZAJEDNICA VRIJEDNOSNOG PLURALIZMA
Authors: Mujkić Asim
Published: September 2021

Autor polazi od uvida da višedecenijska etnonacionalistička vladavina u BiH počiva na mobilizacijama etničke partikularnosti koja za posljedicu ima proizvodnju odvojenih društvenih stvarnosti koje bi na kraju mogle dovesti do odvojenih teritorijalno-političkih entiteta, nukleusa malih jednonacionalnih država. Tome nasuprot, u iskustvu političkog zajedništva, kao kontraprincip, ističe se onaj ZAVNOBiH-a čiji je, autor sugerira, pravi smisao u stvari svojevrsni autohtoni politički ugovor društvenog zajedništva u svoj kompleksnosti i pluralnosti vrijednosti i na taj način predstavlja autentični – bosanskohercegovački – odgovor na ono vječno političko pitanje: “Šta je to što nas drži na okupu?” Ovaj ugovor počiva, prema autoru, na tri važna principa: zajednice vrijednosnog pluralizma (I. Berlin), socijalne pravde i principu antifašizma.
NAPUŠTANJE TEMELJNIH VRIJEDNOSTI ZAVNOBIH-a ETNOPOLITIZACIJOM I SEGREGACIJOM OBRAZOVNOG SISTEMA BIH
Authors: Pašalić Kreso Adila
Published: September 2021

U ovom radu fokus neće biti na iznalaženju novih historijskih dokumenata niti novih dokaza o vrijednostima ZAVNOBiH-a u pogledu obrazovanja i kulturno-prosvjetnog djelovanja u formiranju “novog čovjeka”, “graditelja socijalističkog društva”. Svi važni dokumenti, ili najveći dio njih, već su poznati, sakupljeni i objavljeni i interpretirani. Težište ovog rada će biti više usmjereno ka podcrtavanju i reafirmiranju onih vrijednosti ZAVNOBiH-a koje i danas imaju univerzalni globalni karakter i koje prepoznajemo u dokumentima međunarodnih tijela i organizacija (UN, EU, OECD, UNESCO i sl.) ili u obrazovnim politikama zemalja razvijene demokratije, a koje su kod nas danas marginalizirane ili sasvim napuštene. Paralelno s ukazivanjem na temeljne vrijednosti odgoja i obrazovanja koje nam je ZAVNOBiH ostavio u nasljeđe, referiranjem na nekoliko najvažnijih dokumenata I i II zasjedanja ZAVNOBiH-a (1943–1945) u kojima je trasirana obrazovna politika, novi sistem vrijednosti za koji treba da se zalaže “nova škola” i “narodna prosvjeta”, pokušat ću ukazati na proces praktičnog udaljavanja od njih te na retrogradne tendencije obrazovnih sistema i odgoja mladih generacija u BiH od 1990-tih godina do danas. Kada su u višestranačkim previranjima krajem 1990-tih naglo, čak demonstrativno napuštane vrijednosti ZAVNOBIH-a zagovaranjem novog demokratskog i kapitalističkog društva, vjerovatno je bilo malo onih koji su mogli pretpostaviti da će se desiti nagli povratak, čak sunovrat na “staro”, prevaziđeno i napušteno, i to više od 60-ak godina unatrag. Novonastalo socioekonomsko raslojavanje, stvaranje malobrojne elite bogatih, kapitalistički sistem eksploatacije nezaštićenih radnika, sumnjiva privatizacija društvene i državne imovine, korupcija, korumpirano sudstvo i niz drugi oblika nehumanih društvenih odnosa pojačanih ratnim razaranjima (1991–1995) odrazilo se snažno na bosanskohercegovačko obrazovanje koje je u sebi zrcalilo sve slabosti tog “novog” sistema. Mnogi pokazatelji i istraživački nalazi potvrđuju da je obrazovni sistem BiH danas, u nekim bitnim postavkama, sličniji onom “starom” iz prošlog stoljeća, klasno podijeljenom, segregirajućem i demotivirajućem za narodne mase, koje je svjesno i odlučno napušteno već u toku NOB, nego ciljevima i vrijednostima za koje se zalaže savremena Evropa u prvim decenijama 21. stoljeća.
The Market’s Maturity for Public Procurement of Circular Furniture: A Study from Latvia
Authors: Simanovska Jana , Pelsa Inese
Published: September 2021

Public procurement plays an important role in the market by making up 14% of the Gross Domestic Product in the European Union, therefore it is seen as an important instrument to promote such products and services that better meet society’s demands, for example, sustainability. Starting from 2015, circularity is an important aspect of sustainability. Furniture is among the product groups with a significant impact on the material footprint, therefore approaches to increase material efficiency and circularity are of high value. With this research, the authors investigate the market’s maturity, i.e. the readiness of suppliers to offer circular furniture and services, as well as the readiness of municipalities to uptake it. 20 companies and 27 municipalities took part in the survey. Results show that the surveyed companies currently are more ready to offer more circular products and services than municipalities require in the procurement tenders. Most surveyed municipalities are maintaining and repairing the furniture by themselves that is a circular approach but without outsourcing. The market consultation before the tendering could help to understand the market abilities better and lead to more circular purchasing contracts. This is an important task considering the importance of public procurement in promoting a circular economy.
Infections in CSF Shunts and External Ventricular Drainage
Authors: Bayston Roger
Published: September 2021

Infection in those with hydrocephalus shunts or external drains (EVDs) can cause serious central nervous system damage with lasting sequelae. The infections usually involve bacterial colonisation and biofilm formation in the catheters. The nature and sources of pathogens and preventive measures are discussed. The risks of infection in shunts and EVDs is different. Infection in shunts is almost always initiated at their insertion or revision (exceptions are described). In contrast, in EVDs, the risk of infection persists throughout their use. The pathogen profile is also different. These factors are important considerations when planning preventive measures. Newer strategies such as antimicrobial catheters are discussed. Diagnosis of EVD infections in an already ill patient is difficult but guidelines can be useful. Treatment of the shunt and EVD infections are also addressed, with reference to modes and routes of antibiotic administration.

Water is one of the most essential requirements for living being to survive because 70–80% of the mass of most living bodies consists of water and various mineral and organic salts. Water is also most important component of our environment. Large amount of water is used in various industries or commercial level or domestic level and finally effluent water is loaded with large amount of pollutants such as organic chemicals (surfactants, dyes, phenols etc.), inorganic hazardous heavy metals (As in present case) microbes (bacteria, fungi etc.) pollutants particulate etc. Arsenic is a natural metalloid chemical that may be present in groundwater and surface water gets polluted, hence, aquatic life of plants and animals is disturbed and cause abnormal growth and various diseases, hence, short term or long term changes occurs in ecosystem. Hence, treatment of wastewater is essentially required before discharge effluent wastewater into ponds or lagoons, drains and rivers. Arsenic is one such element that contaminates the environment as reported in several countries. The largest population at risk is in Bangladesh followed by India (West Bengal). Arsenic is familiar as silent killer because dissolved in water, it is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, yet consumption of relatively small doses of this element in its most toxic forms can cause rapid and violent death. It is a human carcinogen in water over a wide range of pH values, having harmful effects on both human health and environment, even at low concentration. Because of this effect, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) set the arsenic standard for drinking water at .010 ppm to protect consumers served by public water systems. Ingestion only poses health problems if a dangerous amount of arsenic enters the body. Then, it can lead to cancer, liver disease, coma, and death. There is no effective treatment for arsenic toxicity. Only the removal of arsenic from aqueous system can prevent the toxicity. A great deal of research over recent decades has been done to lower the concentration of arsenic in drinking water and still there is a need to develop ecofriendly techniques. Existing major arsenic removal technologies include oxidation, adsorption, precipitation, coagulation and membrane separation. This book chapter presents a systematic description of current status of research in the area of arsenic removal from contaminated water and comparison of all technologies available with more emphasis on adsorption.

In the shipbuilding and marine industry, laser cleaning is considered an eco-friendly technology because it can significantly reduce the generation of secondary waste when removing the paint and oxide layer on a steel surface during ship repair work. Accordingly, various studies are being conducted worldwide for the application of laser cleaning. However, studies on the removal of various types of paint used on ships for anticorrosion and cosmetic effects and on the control of the scanning mode of laser cleaning application parts, such as square and circular, are limited. Therefore, in this study, the effects of the scanning mode and major process parameters were analyzed for four types of specimen coated with different paints and with various thicknesses. Consequently, it was possible to remove the paint on the steel surface completely by using handheld-type laser cleaning equipment with an average power of 100 W. In addition, the working time was reduced and the cleaning performance was improved by determining the scanning mode suitable for the laser cleaning application part and the optimal process parameters for each specimen.

Published: September 2021

Background The increasing number of bilateral breast cancer patients has been accompanied by a growing need for bilateral mastectomy with immediate reconstruction. However, little research has investigated the complications and aesthetic outcomes related to bilateral reconstruction. Therefore, we analyzed retrospective data comparing the outcomes of bilateral reconstruction using deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flaps or implants.

Methods This study included 52 patients (24 DIEP group and 28 implant group) who underwent bilateral mastectomy with immediate reconstruction between 2010 and 2020. Patient demographics, surgical characteristics, and complications were recorded. The difference between the left and right position of the nipple-areolar complex with respect to the sternal notch point at the clavicle was measured, and breast symmetry was evaluated.

Results The average weight of breasts reconstructed with DIEP flaps (417.43±152.50 g) was higher than that of breasts with implants. The hospitalization period and operation time were significantly longer in the DIEP group. Early complications were significantly more common in the implant group (36.53%) than in the DIEP group. The angles between the nipples and the horizontal line were 1.09°±0.71° and 1.75°±1.45° in the DIEP and implant groups, respectively.

Conclusions Although the surgical burden is lower, breast reconstruction using implants requires greater attention with respect to implant positioning, asymmetry, and complications than DIEP flap reconstruction. DIEP flap reconstruction has a prolonged operation time and a high risk of flap failure, but yields excellent cosmetic results and does not require intensive follow-up. Patients should be consulted to determine the most suitable option for them.

The diagnosis of the main complications resulting from lipoabdominoplasty has not yet been standardized. Infrared thermal imaging has been used to assess possible complications, such as necrosis and changes in micro- and macro-circulation, based on perforator mapping techniques, among others. The objective of this study was to present two clinical cases involving thermal imaging monitoring of the healing process of lipoabdominoplasty in the immediate postoperative evaluation and its preliminary results. Infrared thermography was performed 24 hours after the operation and on postoperative days 5, 25, and 27. In clinical case 1, it was found that the delta-R (∆TR)–defined as the difference in minimum temperature between the highest and lowest points in the SA3 region (caution suction area) following the classification established by Matarasso–was 0.4°C at 24 hours after surgery and decreased to 0.1°C on a postoperative day 5. There were no complications in this case. In contrast, in clinical case 2, the ∆TR was 1.7°C at 24 hours after surgery (upon hospital discharge) and remained high, at 2.2°C, on postoperative day 5. A higher ∆TR was found in the second patient, who developed necrosis of the surgical wound. The ∆TR thermal index may be a new tool for predicting possible complications, complementing the clinical evaluation and therapeutic decision-making.
Three states of stromal cells–solid, liquid, and aerosol–and innovative delivery methods not previously reported
Authors: Copcu Hasim Eray
Published: September 2021

Clinical applications of stromal cells obtained mechanically from adipose tissue are quite popular methods. However, generally accepted protocols still do not exist. In this study, three new delivery methods using different protocols are presented as innovative methods in accordance with an approach called “Indication-based protocols.” In mechanical methods, before cutting the fat tissue with ultra-sharp blades, which we define as “Adinizing,” mixing it with different liquids such as saline or plasma provides the stromal cells in liquid form with high number and viability as a final product. At the same time, since stromal cells and extracellular matrix are preserved by mechanical methods, it was deemed appropriate to use the term total stromal cells (TOST) instead of stromal vascular fraction for this final product, unlike the product obtained with the enzyme. TOST can be combined with plasma and used for dermal filling in “solid” form. In addition to this filling effect, it will also cause a change in the tissue regeneratively. Finally, the stromal cells obtained from liquid can be applied clinically in aerosol form with the help of nebulizer. We believe that three innovative delivery methods can be used successfully in the treatment of many clinical situations in the future.

Epignathus is a rare congenital orofacial teratoma that arises from the sphenoid region of the palate or the pharynx. It occurs in approximately 1:35,000 to 1:200,000 live births representing 2% to 9% of all teratomas. We present the case of a newborn of 39.4 weeks of gestation with a tumor that occupied the entire oral cavity. The patient was delivered by cesarean section. Oral resection was managed by pediatric surgery. Plastic surgery used virtual 3-dimensional models to establish the extension, and depth of the tumor. Bloc resection and reconstruction of the epignathus were performed. The mass was diagnosed as a mature teratoma associated with cleft lip and palate, nasoethmoidal meningocele that conditions hypertelorism, and a pseudomacrostoma. Tridimensional technology was applied to plan the surgical intervention. It contributed to a better understanding of the relationships between the tumor and the adjacent structures. This optimized the surgical approach and outcome.

The potential to differentiate into different cell lines, added to the easy and cost-effective method of extraction, makes adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) an object of interest in lymphedema treatment. Our study’s goal was to conduct a comprehensive systematic review of the use of ADSCs in lymphatic tissue engineering and regeneration. On July 23, 2019, using PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Clinical Answers, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Embase databases, we conducted a systematic review of published literature on the use of ADSCs in lymphatic tissue engineering and regeneration. There were no language or time frame limitations, and the following search strategy was applied: ((Adipose stem cell) OR Adipose-derived stem cell)) AND ((Lymphedema) OR Breast Cancer Lymphedema). Only original research manuscripts were included. Fourteen studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Eleven studies were experimental (in vitro or in vivo in animals), and only three were clinical. Publications on the topic demonstrated that ADSCs promote lymphangiogenesis, and its effect could be enhanced by modulation of vascular endothelial growth factor-C, interleukin-7, prospero homeobox protein 1, and transforming growth factor-β1. Pilot clinical studies included 11 patients with breast cancer-related lymphedema, and no significant side effects were present at 12-month follow-up. Literature on the use of ADSCs in lymphatic tissue engineering and regeneration demonstrated promising data. Clinical evidence is still in its infancy, but the scientific community agrees that ADSCs can be useful in regenerative lymphangiogenesis. Data collected in this review indicate that unprecedented advances in lymphedema treatment can be anticipated in the upcoming years.
Machine learning for access control policy verification
Authors: Hu Vincent C
Published: September 2021

Access control policy verification ensures that there are no faults within the policy that leak or block access privileges. As a software test, access control policy verification relies on methods such as model proof, data structure, system simulation, and test oracle to verify that the policy logic functions as expected. However, these methods have capability and performance issues related to inaccuracy and complexity limited by applied technologies. For instance, model proof, test oracle, and data structure methods initially assume that the policy under verification is faultless unless the policy model cannot hold for test cases. Thus, the challenge of the method is to compose test cases that can comprehensively discover all faults. Alternatively, a system simulation method requires translating the policy to a simulated system. The translation between systems may be difficult or impractical to implement if the policy logic is complicated or the number of policy rules is large. To answer these challenges, this internal report (IR) proposes an efficient and straightforward method for access control policy verification by applying a classification algorithm of machine learning, which does not require comprehensive test cases, oracle, or system translation but rather checks the logic of policy rules directly, making it more efficient and feasible compared to traditional methods.
