Published: December 2020

Purpose Septic knee arthritis in children can be treated by arthrocentesis (articular needle aspiration) with or without irrigation, arthroscopy or arthrotomy followed by antibiotics. The objective of this systematic review was to identify the most effective drainage technique for septic arthritis of the knee in children. Methods The electronic PubMed, Embase and Cochrane databases were systematically searched for original articles that reported outcomes of arthrocentesis, arthroscopy or arthrotomy for septic arthritis of the knee. The quality of all included studies was assessed with the Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS) criteria. This systematic review was performed and reported according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Results Out of 2428 articles, 11 studies with a total of 279 knees were included in the systematic review. The quality of evidence was low (MINORS median 4 (2 to 7)). A meta-analysis could not be performed because of the diversity and low quality of the studies. In septic knee arthritis, additional drainage procedures were needed in 54 of 156 (35%) knees after arthrocentesis, in four of 96 (4%) after arthroscopy and in two of 12 (17%) after arthrotomy. Conclusion Included studies on treatment strategies for septic arthritis of the knee in children are diverse and the scientific quality is generally low. Knee arthroscopy might have a lower risk of additional drainage procedures as compared with arthrocentesis and arthrotomy, with acceptable clinical outcomes and no radiological sequelae.

Purpose The aetiology of unicameral bone cysts (UBCs) is unclear. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of elastic intramedullary nailing (EIN) combined with injections of methylprednisolone acetate (MPA) for the treatment of UBCs in children. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 53 children with UBCs in our hospital between January 2010 and April 2016. A total of 24 patients (Group A) were treated by EIN and MPA, whilst 29 patients (Group B) were treated by curettage, bone grafts and EIN fixation. The radiographs of the UBCs were evaluated following the Capanna criteria. All patients were followed-up on the third, sixth, 12th, 24th and 36th months. Fixation time, hospitalization time and complications were evaluated. Results In Group A, the mean number of MPA injections was 1.8 (1 to 3). Based on radiographic evaluation, eight patients were healed (Capanna grade I), 14 were healed with residual cysts (Capanna grade II), one showed recurrence (Capanna grade III) and one showed no response to the treatment (Capanna grade IV). In Group B, 11 patients were evaluated as Capanna grade I, 12 as Capanna grade II, three as Capanna grade III and three as Capanna grade IV. There was significant difference in the early postoperative function activity (p < 0.001), hospitalization time (p = 0.028), blood loss during surgery (p < 0.001) and surgery time (p < 0.001). Conclusion The combination of EIN and MPA for the treatment of UBCs in children is feasible, has little operative trauma, short surgery time, short hospitalization time, less blood loss and a low risk of incision infection.

Purpose
To evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and treatment patterns of ranibizumab 0.5 mg in prior ranibizumab-treated patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) enrolled in the LUMINOUS™ study.

Patients and methods
LUMINOUS, a 5-year, prospective, multicenter, observational study, recruited 30,138 adult patients (treatment-naïve or prior ranibizumab-treated or other ocular treatments) across all approved indications for ranibizumab. Patients were treated as per local ranibizumab label of participating countries. Here we report the mean change in visual acuity (VA) at Year 1, treatment exposure, overall incidence of ocular, non-ocular adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs (SAEs) in prior ranibizumab-treated nAMD patients (n = 16,167).

Results
At baseline, the mean (standard deviation [SD]) age of patients was 78.4 (9.0) years, 59.0% were female, and 80.0% were Caucasian. At Year 1 (n = 10,168), the mean (SD) VA change was −1.6 (12.6) letters (baseline VA: 58.3 [19.0] letters) with a mean (SD) of 4.7 (3.1) ranibizumab injections. Stratified by duration of prior ranibizumab treatment of <1 (n = 4,112), 1 to <2 (n = 2,095), 2 to <3 (n = 1,506), 3 to <4 (n = 1,123), 4 to <5 (n = 689), and ≥5 (n = 256) years, the mean (SD) VA change at Year 1 were −1.2 (13.5), −2.0 (12.3), −2.0 (11.3), −1.9 (11.8), −2.5 (10.9), and 0.0 (11.2) letters, respectively. Mean (SD) VA change in patients who received ≤6 and >6 injections over 1 year was −1.8 (13.8) and +0.5 (12.5) letters, respectively. The rate of ocular/non-ocular AEs and SAEs across all prior ranibizumab-treated patients over 5 years were 13.29%/23.02% and 0.84%/13.66%, respectively.

Conclusions
Overall, regardless of the prior ranibizumab-treatment duration, VA was maintained in these patients at Year 1, and those receiving ≥6 injections showed a trend towards gaining letters. There were no new safety signals. These results may help inform routine clinical practice to appropriately treat nAMD patients with ranibizumab to achieve optimal visual outcomes.

Published: December 2020

On 1 April 1999, Akimiski Island of the western James Bay region of northern Ontario, Canada, was included in the newly formed territory of Nunavut, Canada—an Inuit-dominated territory—even though the Inuit had never asserted Aboriginal title to the island. By contrast, the Omushkegowuk Cree of the western James Bay region have asserted Aboriginal title to Akimiski Island. The Government of Canada by their action (or inaction) has reversed the onus of responsibility for proof of Aboriginal title from the Inuit to the Cree. In other words, the Government of Canada did not follow their own guidelines and the common-law test for proof of Aboriginal title. In this paper, we documented and employed Cree oral history as well as a sea-level retrodiction (based on state-of-the-art numerical modeling of past sea-level changes in James Bay), which incorporated a modified ICE-6G ice history and a 3-D model of Earth structure, to establish that criterion 2 of the test for Aboriginal title has now been fully met. In other words, Cree traditional use and occupancy of Akimiski Island was considered sufficiently factual at the time of assertion of sovereignty by European nations. As all the criteria of the common-law test for proof of Aboriginal title in Canada, with respect to Akimiski Island, have now been addressed, the Cree have sufficient basis to initiate the process of a formal land claim.
Frequent Flooding and Perceived Adaptive Capacity of Subarctic Kashechewan First Nation, Canada

Published: December 2020

Perceived (socio-cognitive) capacity is as important as objective (material resources) capacity in assessing the overall adaptive capacity of people at the community level. Higher perceived and objective capacities generate greater total adaptive capacity. This article assesses the perceived adaptive capacity of the Kashechewan First Nation, located in the flood-prone southwestern James Bay (Subarctic) region in Canada. The community is frequently disrupted by the elevated risk of spring flooding and has experienced five major floods since its establishment in 1957. Residents have been evacuated 14 times since 2004 because of actual flooding or flooding risk and potential dike failure. We surveyed 90 residents using 21 indicators to assess the community’s perceived adaptive capacity. The results indicate that residents’ risk perception and perceived adaptive capacity are high and are reshaping their adaptive behavior to the hazard of spring flooding. The strong positive interrelationships between human capital, social capital, governance, and other determinants, such as migration, personal resilience, and experience, also suggest high perceived adaptive capacity. Human capital and the other determinants are relatively higher contributors to the perceived adaptive capacity, followed by social capital and governance determinants. The results also indicate that residents’ disaster preparedness has also improved. The elevated flooding risk and frequently occurring emergencies have motivated the First Nation to modify their spontaneous and proactive adaptation responses for disaster risk reduction at the individual, household, and band levels. Planning to adapt to natural hazards to mitigate their impacts also requires a nuanced understanding of the perceived adaptive capacity that contributes to overall adaptive capacity. Translating the high perceived adaptive capacity into greater total adaptive capacity would contribute to enhancing community resilience.

Medicinal cupping is one of the traditional treatment methods that is trusted to give many benefits to the human health and still practising by various culture and societies around the world. The purposes of this treatment are to allow the toxin leaves the body,to stimulate the muscles and also helping in healing process for various diseases. The process start by placing special heated cups on specific points to create suction, then the points will be punctured. Each disease has specific cupping points to be cupped which located on the human nerves system. All the points actually connected to each other where a simple graph can be formed. Since there are limited studies that discuss medicinal cupping in a mathematics view, thus this research is conducted to introduce the easiest way on demonstrating the cupping points on the human nerves system by using the idea of graph. Hence, new definition of nerve vertex, nerve edge and nerve graph will be defined. Moreover, the idea of graph colouring will be applied to determine the optimal number of cupping points.

Contemporary Javanese songs are free songs by combining diatonic and pentatonic tones, without having to fulfill basic rules. By maintaining the authenticity of Javanese lyrics, there is the use of Indonesian in contemporary Javanese song lyrics. This research will examine how the use of Indonesian in contemporary Javanese song lyrics from the morphological aspects, especially those in the form of basic words and affixed words. There are three stages of strategy in this study, namely the stage of data filtering, data analysis, and presentation of the results of data analysis. The selection of data through observation is done using the basic technique, which is tapping. The tapping technique is followed by the advanced technique, which is a competent, free listening technique. The note taking technique as an advanced technique is also carried out to record the results of data listening on the data card in the form of transcription. Data analysis was performed to find out how to use Indonesian in contemporary Javanese song lyrics based on morphological aspects, especially those in the form of basic words and affixed words. It can be described that in addition to maintaining Javanese language, contemporary Javanese song lyrics also use Indonesian to convey expression and achieve aesthetics in song. Morphologically, the form of words used in relation to the use of Indonesian in contemporary Javanese song lyrics is the basic word and affix word. Basic words in the form of words that have not undergone a morphological process. Affixes used in contemporary Javanese song lyrics are suffixes, suffixes, and confixes. The affixes used are ber-, di-, meN-, ter-, and peN-. Suffixes in the form of -an, -ku, -mu, -i, -nya, and -pun. Meanwhile, there are also confixes ke-/-an, peN-/-an, di-/-kan, and meN-/-i.

MODEL PROBLEM SOLVING DAN MODEL PROBLEM POSING DILENGKAPI MULTI REPRESENTASI TETRAHEDRAL KIMIA DALAM MENINGKATKAN PEMAHAMAN KONSEP SISWA AbstractA learning model has its characteristics with advantages and disadvantages. A Teacher has a particular way of delivering chemistry materials. This study aims to investigate the implementation of Thinking Aloud Pair Problem Solving (TAPPS) and Problem Posing (PP) to enhance students' conceptual understanding of the topic of the mole concept. The learning model implemented was enriched with the tetrahedral chemistry representation, which included levels of the human element, macroscopic, sub-microscopic, and symbolic. This research used a quasi-experimental method with a randomized pretest-posttest comparison group research design. Data collection used paper-and-pencil tests to sixty-four grade 10 students in a public high school in Sragen, Indonesia. Data analysis employed an independent sample t-test. The research findings indicated that the PP model was able to generate a higher degree of students' conceptual understanding than the TAPPS model and have more students with sound conceptual understanding than the TAPPS model. The chemistry teaching integrated with the tetrahedral chemistry representation increased students' sub-microscopic and symbolic levels of understanding. The new approach should be embedded in every chemistry learning model for enhancing students' understanding.AbstrakSebuah model pembelajaran mempunyai ciri tersendiri dengan kelebihan dan kekurangannya.

Authors: Apriliani Agustin 
Published: December 2020

ABSTRACTThis research aimed to determine the effect of using Schoology as learning media on students’ writing interest. The research was done in a 2x2 experimental design with experimental and control classes selected as participants using purposive random sampling. The two groups had the same writing ability but received different learning media treatments, Picture Series for the control class, and Schoology for the experimental class. The Tukey’s test results showed that qobtain between columns A1 and A2(3.46) was higher than qtable (2.92) proving that using Schoology in teaching writing was significantly different from Picture Series. On the other hand, qobtain between cells A1B1and A2B1(4.47) was higher than qtable (3.08) proving that using Schoology differed significantly from Picture Series in teaching writing for students who had high interest. Then qobtain between cells A1B2and A2B2(0.41) was lower than qtable (3.08) proving that using Schoology did not differ significantly from Picture Series in teaching writing for students who had low interest. This study concludes that learning writing skills using Schoology affects students' levels of learning interests. Schoology, therefore, could be an alternative learning media platform for teaching and learning writing skills.ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan media pembelajaran Schoology terhadap minat menulis siswa. Penelitian dilakukan dalam rancangan eksperimen 2x2 dengan kelas eksperimen dan kelas kontrol dipilih sebagai partisipan dengan menggunakan purposive random sampling. Kedua kelompok memiliki kemampuan menulis yang sama tetapi mendapat perlakuan media pembelajaran yang berbeda yaitu Picture Series untuk kelas kontrol dan Schoology untuk kelas eksperimen. Hasil uji Tukey menunjukkan bahwa qobtain antara kolom A1 dan A2 (3,46) lebih tinggi dari qtabel (2,92) yang membuktikan bahwa penggunaan Schoology dalam pengajaran menulis berbeda secara signifikan dengan Picture Series. Di sisi lain, qobtain antara sel A1B1 dan A2B1 (4,47) lebih tinggi dari qtabel (3,08) membuktikan bahwa penggunaan Schoology berbeda secara signifikan dengan Picture Series dalam pengajaran menulis untuk siswa yang memiliki minat tinggi. Kemudian qobtain antara sel A1B2 dan A2B2 (0.41) lebih rendah dari qtabel (3.08) membuktikan bahwa penggunaan Schoology tidak berbeda secara signifikan dengan Picture Series dalam pembelajaran menulis untuk siswa yang memiliki minat rendah. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa pembelajaran keterampilan menulis menggunakan Schoology berpengaruh terhadap tingkat minat belajar siswa. Oleh karena itu, Schoology dapat menjadi platform media pembelajaran alternatif untuk pembelajaran keterampilan menulis.
