Published: June 2020

Abstract
Background: The impact of handedness on clinical outcomes was easily overlooked in hip replacement. This study aimed to find whether the component positioning and hip function were affected by the handedness in total hip arthroplasty (THA) through direct anterior approach (DAA). Methods: Total 102 patients who underwent bilateral DAA-THAs simultaneously between May 2016 and November 2018 in our institute were reviewed. All surgeries were operated by one right-handed surgeon. Their demographic, cup positioning, stem alignment, femoral stem fit, Harris hip score (HHS), intraoperative and postoperative complications were used to evaluate the role of handedness in DAA. Results: The inclination of left cups was significantly larger than that of right cups (42.61±7.32 vs 39.42±7.19, p=0.000). The stem fit of left femur was significantly larger than that of right femur (84.34±4.83 vs 82.81±6.07, p=0.043). No significant differences in safe zone ratio, HHS and complications between bilateral hips were found. Conclusions: A surgeon's handedness had significant impact on cup's inclination and femoral stem fit in DAA-THA. However, there were no significant differences of cup malpositioning, stem alignment, hip function scores and complications between bilateral DAA-THAs.

Published: June 2020

Abstract
In order to understand scientists’ incentives to form collaborative relations, we have conducted a study looking into academically relevant resources, which scientists contribute into collaborations with others. The data we describe in this paper are an egocentric dataset assembled by coding originally qualitative material. It is 40 multiplex ego networks containing data on individual attributes (such as gender, scientific degree), collaboration ties (including alter–alter ties), and resource flows. Resources are coded using a developed inventory of 25 types of academically relevant resources egos and alters contribute into their collaborations. We share the data with the research community with the hopes of enriching knowledge and tools for studying sociological and behavioral aspects of science as a social process.

Aunque la trayectoria de la educación en el tiempo libre es dilatada, frecuentemente se subestima su potencial pedagógico y no es considerada como una opción para el desarrollo de competencias para la vida. De esta manera, tampoco se debe obviar el poder de la educación no formal como ámbito para la educación de competencias en una sociedad digital. Es por este motivo que el presente artículo aborda el desarrollo de la Competencia de Pensamiento Computacional en los contextos de educación no curricular. Para lograr los objetivos de la investigación, se plantea un estudio sujeto a una pequeña muestra participante en un casal de verano. La discusión de los datos obtenidos demuestra una mejora en el grado de conocimiento de los contenidos computacionales, tanto conceptuales como procedimentales, además de desarrollar un abanico de conocimientos del ámbito saber ser gracias al seguimiento de una secuencia didáctica basada en el uso del recurso digital Code.org
Trend analysis of climate change compound indices in Iran
Authors: Roshani Ahmad , Parak Fatemeh , Esmaili Hossein 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
The time-placement scheme of climate extreme changes is important. In this regard, a set of a compound indices derived using daily resolution climatic time series data is examined to assess climate change in Iran. The compound indices were examined for 47 synoptic meteorological stations during 1981–2015. The results show that most stations experienced a negative trend for the cool/dry (CD) and cool/wet (CW) index and a positive trend in CW was observed in some dispersed small areas. Both warm/dry (WD) and warm/wet (WW) indices have similar behavior, but the magnitude and spatial consistency of WW days were much less than WD days. The results show that more than 80% of stations experienced a decrease in the annual occurrence of the cold modes and an increase in the annual occurrence of the warm modes. On the other hand, universal thermal climate index (UTCI) change demonstrated a significant increase in the annual occurrence of strong heat stress (32–38 °C) and significant decrease in the annual occurrence of no thermal stress class (9–26 °C). Moreover, trends in tourism climate index (TCI), including TCI≥ 60 and TCI≥ 80, showed similar changes but with weak spatial coherence.
Hydropower development along Teesta river basin: opportunities for cooperation
Authors: Rahaman Muhammad Mizanur , Abdullah - Al - Mamun  
Published: June 2020

Abstract
The aim of this research is to examine the hydropower development potentials and identifying major hydropower projects along the Teesta river basin that is shared by Bangladesh and India. The upstream of Teesta river basin is located mostly in hilly areas of Sikkim where India plans to produce electricity of over 6,500 MW by developing the hydropower potential of the basin. The downstream basin is densely populated, mostly flat land and has no hydropower potential. As of today, Bangladesh and India have been unable to agree on an integrated development plan for the Teesta river basin. Previous negotiations on Teesta river basin management have focused only on sharing water rather than sharing the wide range of benefits from water resources including hydropower. This paper identified the existing, ongoing and upcoming hydropower development projects. The hydropower sharing opportunity exists between the two riparian countries and this type of natural resource development could reduce economic tensions and provide a platform for sustainable agreements.
Optimization of group borehole drainage of a mine above a high pressure, low permeability aquifer
Authors: Lu Haifeng , Zhang Yuan , Zhang Manman , Zhang Guifang 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
Drainage to lower water pressure is an effective measure for preventing and controlling water ingress when mining above a confined aquifer. The deep limestone aquifer in the Huaibei mining area, China, generally has high pressure, low permeability and variable water abundance, so it is difficult to meet single-borehole drainage requirements. In order to achieve good drainage, and take into account engineering and environmental protection requirements, a multi-objective optimization model of group borehole drainage was established. The model takes the minimization of single-hole flow and borehole numbers as the objective functions, and the drawdown in drainage boreholes and the water level control point as the constraint conditions. The particle swarm optimization algorithm was used to solve the model. The results indicate that, for a low permeability aquifer, measures such as using partially penetrating wells, increasing the number of drainage boreholes appropriately and reducing individual borehole yield have good drainage effects. The extent of drilling and amount of drainage are also relatively small. This is all to the good for the drainage. When the optimization results were applied to coal-face drainage in Huaibei the outcome was good.
Application of the hydroxyapatite crystallization-filtration process to recover phosphorus from wastewater effluents
Authors: Chang Hyangyoun , Park Nari , Jang Yeoju , Lim Hyunman , Kim Weonjae 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
Phosphorus crystallization-filtration (PCF) was devised as a novel tertiary process for phosphorus removal from domestic wastewater. The results obtained showed that during the PCF process, high pH and excessive calcium dosage conditions were required to obtain effluents with total phosphorus (T-P) and suspended solid (SS) concentrations below 0.2 and 10 mg/L, respectively, within 2 h of operation. Phosphorus was precipitated during the pre-treatment step, and thereafter it crystallized on the surface of the fixed seed material in the PCF reactor. Furthermore, the addition of Ca2+ resulted in phosphorus removal efficiencies &gt;95%, and pH, residual Ca2+, filtration depth, and linear velocity were identified as the main design and operation parameters of the PCF process. Following the pilot-scale PCF process, the average concentrations of T-P, PO4-P, and SS in the effluent were 0.05, 0.04, and 1.1 mg/L, respectively, corresponding to removal efficiencies of 90.9, 86.5, and 79.7%, respectively. The investigation of the backwashing sludge characteristics of the PCF process using SEM, FT-IR, EDS, and XRD analyses showed that owing to its high contents in calcite and hydrated phosphorus compounds, PCF sludge could be used as an alternative soil amendment resource.

Authors: Kaushik Niranjan , Kumar Nitin , Kumar Anoop , Sharma Vikas 
Published: June 2020

Background:
Fungal infections are opportunistic infections that become a serious problem
for human health.

Objective:
Considering the antifungal potential of the triazole nucleus, the study was carried out
with the objective of synthesizing some novel triazole derivatives with antifungal potential.

Methods:
1,2,4-triazole derivatives were synthesized via a two-step reaction (reported earlier). The
first step involves the reaction of substituted benzoic acid with thiocarbohydrazide to form 4-
amino-3-(substituted phenyl)-5-mercapto-1, 2, 4-triazole derivatives (1a-1k) while in the second
step, synthesized compounds (1a-1k) were then subsequently treated with substituted acetophenone
to yield substituted (4-methoxyphenyl-7H-[1, 2, 4] triazolo [3, 4-b][1,3,4] thiadiazine derivatives
(2a-2k). All synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, and Mass spectral
data analysis and were screened for their antifungal properties against different fungal strains i.e.
Candida tropicalis (ATCC-13803, ATCC-20913), Candida albicans (ATCC-60193), Candida inconspicua
(ATCC-16783) and Candida glabrata (ATCC-90030, ATCC-2001).

Results:
Compound 2d displayed better percentage inhibition (26.29%, 24.81%) than fluconazole
(24.44%, 22.96%) against ATCC-16783, ATCC-2001 fungal strains respectively at 100μg/ml.
Compound 2f also displayed better percentage inhibition (28.51%) against ATCC-90030 as compared
to fluconazone (27.4%) at 200 μg/ml. Similarly, compounds 2e and 2j also exhibited better
antifungal properties than fluconazole at 200μg/ml. Compound 2e was found most potent against
ATCC-13803 (30.37%) and ATCC-90030 (30.37%) fungal strains as compared to fluconazole
(28.14%, 27.4%) at 200 μg/ml respectively whereas compound 2j exhibited better antifungal activity
(28.51%) against ATCC-60193 than fluconazole (27.7%) at 200 μg/ml.

Conclusion:
The results were in accordance with our assertions for triazole derivatives, as all
compounds displayed moderate to good antifungal activity.

Published: June 2020

Background:
There are different types of viruses found in nature which cause infection in
humans and other animals, some causing severe illness and others not. A unique coronavirus termed severe
acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) was isolated from lower respiratory tract
sample as the causative agent.

Objective:
This review article includes characteristics of COVID-19, current scenario of disease, causes
and symptoms of disease and how to prevent from its infection.

Methods:
We accomplished a comprehensive evaluation of the communication amid COVID-19 disease
and serious effects of the disease. There are many articles describing the general characteristics, prevention
and its harmful effects on humans which were included. The clinical diagnosis and present scenario
of the disease were also reviewed.

Results:
The recent outbreak of contagions with SARS-CoV-2 is termed Coronavirus Disease 2019
(COVID-19) by the World Health Organization (WHO). Many governments of the world, scholars and
scientists are engaged to discover the proper treatment and until a proper and right treatment for it is
found, we have to be careful to avoid infection.

Conclusion:
At present, the whole world is struggling with COVID-19 disease. COVID-19 quickly
spread into at least 215 countries and exterminated more than 300,000 persons by May 15, 2020. This is
the time to exercise restraint and caution. The rapid extent of disease allows deep examination and quarantine
conventions to prevent further transmission.

Published: June 2020

<em>Folklore (folktale) expresses the culture shared by a particular community. Comparing different folktales from different countries means viewing literature and culture comprehensively.The purpose of this study is to reveal the local wisdom about man and nature from three different countries by taking advantage of local and foreign folktales as teaching media for literature and culture. The three folktales used are from Japan, Indonesia, and America.The four functions of folklore offered by Bascom are chosen as one of the approaches used to analyze the three folklores from three different countries. Hereinafter, the exploration of local wisdom of each country is carried out to find the uniqueness and richness of culture.The results of the research reveal the Japanesse local wisdom in Tanabata San no Hanashi are hard working and discipline. Meanwhile, the local wisdom of Indonesian (Minangkabau people) in Kaba Malin Deman are leaving home town (merantau); treat guest well; stay with another family; one good deed deserves another (moral obligation); bathing as diversion. The local wisdom of the American (Indian/Caddo people) in Buffalo Woman, a Story of Magic fulfilled three of the Ten Indian Commandmen, they are Remain close to the Great Spirit, Treat the earth and all that dwell there on with respect, and Take full responsibility for your actions. In conclusion, the functions of folklore have correlation with the local wisdom about man and nature. Man must respect the nature where he/she lives and responsible for the actions taken. The teaching of literature and culture cannot be separated from the local wisdom of a nation.</em>
DERECHO Y VIOLENCIA: LA “OBJETIVIDAD” COMO ESPACIO DE SU INDISTINCIÓN. EL CASO DE LA CONSTITUCIÓN CHILENA DE 1980.
Authors: Bassa Jaime , Fuster Nicolás , Viera Christian 
Published: June 2020

This paper explores the complex relationship between law and violence. It proposes a critical reading of the interpretation mechanisms that try to override the political dimensions of the Constitution. In particular, it ana- lyzes the “originalism” of the Chilean constitutionalism that appeals to the objectivity of the Constitution, founded in the notion of truth hidden behind the idea of origin. Following the critical theory approach –Benjamin, Fou- cault, among others– the paper questions the assumptions that set aside the debate on the political content of the 1980 Chilean Constitution.

Published: June 2020

ABSTRACT
Auditors' discussions in audit plan brainstorming sessions provide valuable knowledge on how audit engagement teams evaluate information, identify and assess risks, and make audit decisions. Collected expertise and experience from experienced auditors can be used as decision support for future audit plan engagements. With the help of Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, this paper proposes an intelligent NLP-based audit plan knowledge discovery system (APKDS) that can collect and extract important contents from audit brainstorming discussions and transfer the extracted contents into an audit knowledge base for future use.
Exploring the Data Processing Practices of Cloud ERP—A Case Study
Authors: Gao Lei 
Published: June 2020

ABSTRACT
Although cloud enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are becoming popular, there are still firms that have yet to migrate to the cloud because of data confidentiality and data security concerns. Firms that plan to adopt cloud ERP systems are expected to first understand cloud ERP's data processing practices. This study proposes a case study method with a systematic content analysis of cloud ERP providers' data processing agreements. The study will explore the data disclosure, data security, data sub-processing, and data retention and deletion practices of cloud ERP providers. In addition, this study investigates the linguistic characteristics of cloud ERP providers' data processing agreements including readability, litigious language, and uncertainty language. The findings of this study can help organizations to have a better understanding of the data process practices of cloud ERP providers, as well as the shared responsibilities between cloud ERP providers and users in maintaining data security.
Business Process “De-Engineering”: Establishing the Value of the Human Auditor in an Automated Audit System
Authors: Alles Michael G. 
Published: June 2020

ABSTRACT
Automation in auditing is driven by the principles of business process reengineering (BPR), whose default position is to eliminate labor. BPR assumes that assurance arising from human and technological inputs are substitutes and not complements. Until that hypothesis is validated, human auditors should not be perceived as expendable artifacts to be removed as quickly as possible. What is needed is a systematic exploration of what is the minimum human involvement for auditing to retain the trust of its stakeholders. In this paper, I propose that business process reengineering in auditing is complemented with what I call business process “de-engineering” (BPD). Whereas BPR asks how to remove workers from a predominantly manual process, BPD asks when adding a human would add value to a predominantly automated process. BPD in auditing focuses attention on the human/machine interactions in the audit process and will help determine their relative strengths and weaknesses.
Contract-Based Cost Analytics
Authors: Beaulieu Philip R. 
Published: June 2020

ABSTRACT
Big data analytics are changing product costing practice in its decision-facilitating role, and have made arbitrary overhead allocation unnecessary. Contracts-to-system applications, which extract cost data directly from contracts without resorting to conventional cost accounting, are key components of emerging practice, and are currently offered by all Big 4 accounting firms to audit and consulting clients. I call this practice contract-based cost analytics (CBCA) and illustrate it with a special order decision scenario. Benefits of CBCA are reductions in cost estimation assumptions, timeliness, intuitive appeal to non-accountants, improved access to unstructured data, improved negotiations regarding cost and sales, outsource-based budgeting, and support for capital budgeting decisions (in addition to short-term scenarios). The biggest obstacle to CBCA is accountants' familiarity with linear cost behavior assumptions.

Highlights

Abstract
Vascular access is an essential component for a successful hemodialysis program. Cannulation technique is an important factor for dialysis access survival. For patients with exhausted upper limb vascular access, lower extremity permanent dialysis vascular access (LE-PDVA) is one of the alternatives. The buttonhole cannulation (BHC) technique for LE-PDVA has never been reported in literature. Here we report on a 57-year-old end-stage renal failure patient who had suffered multiple complications related to dialysis access and ended up with exhausted upper limb vascular access. The BHC technique was successfully used on his LE-PDVA for hemodialysis.
