Published: June 2020

Resumo
Objetivo Verificar se os ombros com acetabularização têm melhores resultados funcionais nos casos de artropatia do manguito rotador.
Métodos Avaliação transversal clínica e radiológica de 65 ombros com artropatia do manguito rotador por meio da mensuração da amplitude de movimento (ADM) do ombro, do escore de Constant-Murley, e das classificações radiológicas de Hamada e Seebauer. Os achados clínicos foram comparados com os radiográficos.
Resultados Segundo a classificação de Seebauer, com relação à ADM, observamos melhores resultados nos tipos A. Houve diferença estatística significativa na elevação anterior, e rotação medial entre os tipos A e B (p < 0.05). A rotação lateral não demonstrou diferença estatística significativa entre os tipos A e B. O escore de Constant-Murley apresentou melhores resultados nos tipos A, e houve diferença estatística significativa entre os grupos A e B (p < 0,05). Segundo a classificação de Hamada, observamos que a ADM teve melhores resultados nos tipos 3, 2 e 1, e houve diferença estatística significativa para a elevação anterior e a rotação medial (p < 0,05) quando comparadas com os grupos 4A, 4B e 5. Não houve diferença estatística significativa entre os grupos de Hamada em relação à rotação lateral. Ainda segundo Hamada, o escore de Constant-Murley apresentou melhores resultados nos tipos 3, 1 e 2, e houve diferença estatística significativa entre os grupos 3 e 5.
Conclusão A ADM e a função do ombro apresentavam-se melhores nos pacientes com acetabularização (Seebauer 1A e Hamada 3), e piores naqueles com artrose glenoumeral (Seebauer 1B, 2B e Hamada 4A, 4B e 5).

Authors: Almeida Raul Frankllim Carvalho 
Published: June 2020

Resumo
Objetivo Avaliar a incidência de instabilidade protética em uma série consecutiva de 42 casos de artroplastia total do quadril com uso do acetábulo de dupla mobilidade.
Métodos Estudo retrospectivo de 39 pacientes que passaram por artroplastia total de quadril (ATQ) primária ou de revisão usando taça de dupla mobilidade (TDM) acetabular entre janeiro de 2012 e janeiro de 2018. Foram avaliadas as taxas de complicações e de instabilidade após a cirurgia.
Resultados Foram feitas 42 artroplastias em 38 pacientes, com um seguimento mínimo de 16 meses. A média de idade da amostra foi de 60 anos. Em 38 casos, usamos TDM sem cimento, e nos outros 4 casos, TDM cimentada. Não houve instabilidade precoce ou tardia.
Conclusão A série aqui apresentada prova o bom resultado da TDM em artroplastias primárias, casos complexos e complicados de falha de osteossíntese de fratura proximal do fêmur, e cirurgia de revisão por instabilidade na ATQ. A falta de episódios de instabilidade prostética e complicações em casos complexos de ATQ primária ou de revisão aumentou a confiança nesse conceito.

Abstract
Background Performing cardiac surgery in patients with cardiovascular risk factors incorporates a steady risk for the development of postoperative complications. Perioperative statin intake was associated with an improvement of perioperative outcomes in these patients. However, the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery guidelines regarding the perioperative statin treatment were changed recently due to large studies reporting about relevant adverse effects related to statin therapy.
Methods All relevant databases were searched including the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the metaRegister of Controlled Trials. Various registries were screened (National Research Register, the ClinicalTrials.gov, and gray literature) with search on online conference indices of relevant scientific meetings. No language restrictions were applied.
Results We identified 10 randomized controlled studies summarizing 3,468 participants undergoing various kinds of cardiac surgical procedures. All included studies presented with marked differences regarding study design. Pooled analysis indicated that statin pretreatment was associated with a formally reduced incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF) (odds ratio [OR] 0.63, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.39–1.00; p = 0.05) but with an increased incidence of renal failure (OR 1.20, 95% CI 1.01–1.44; p = 0.04) compared with control. Substantial heterogeneity was observed among studies reporting about AF.
Conclusion Current but sparse evidence reveals that statin pretreatment is associated with a higher rate of postoperative renal failure compared with control therapy but is ineffective to substantially reduce postoperative AF. Given the relevant heterogeneity among included studies, statin pretreatment cannot be generally recommended.
Arthroscopic Resection of Wrist Scaphotrapeziotrapezoidal (STT) Joint Ganglia
Authors: Chai Ho Lam , Pérez Cabello Álvaro , Yu Wai Ping Fiona , Ho Pak Cheong 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
Background Volar wrist ganglion is the second most common wrist mass and accounts for 20% of all cases. Surgery is the gold standard for persistent and symptomatic ganglia. Arthroscopic resection has gained popularity in the past two decades. Application of this technique to ganglia in less accessible locations, such as the scaphotrapeziotrapezoidal (STT) joint, however, remains controversial.
Case Description To date, no literature has described using the STT -ulnar (STT-u) and STT -radial (STT-r) joint portals for ganglionic resection.
Literature Review In this report, two cases of arthroscopic ganglionic resection utilizing the STT-u and STT-r joint portals at our institution were described.
Clinical Relevance Arthroscopic resection of STT joint ganglion under portal site local anesthesia is a technically feasible, safe, and effective approach. There was no recurrence observed for both cases at 50 months of follow-up.
Predicting Adverse Events beyond Stroke and Bleeding with the ABC-Stroke and ABC-Bleeding Scores in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: The Murcia AF Project
Authors: Camelo-Castillo Anny , Rivera-Caravaca José Miguel , Marín Francisco , Vicente Vicente , Lip Gregory Y. H. , Roldán Vanessa 
Published: June 2020

AbstractBackground The ABC (age, biomarkers, and clinical history)-stroke and ABC-bleeding are biomarker-based scores proposed to predict stroke and bleeding, but non-specificity of biomarkers is common, predicting different clinical events at the same time. We assessed the predictive performance of the ABC-stroke and ABC-bleeding scores, for outcomes beyond ischemic stroke and major bleeding, in a cohort of atrial fibrillation (AF) patients.Methods We included AF patients stable on vitamin K antagonists for 6 months. The ABC-stroke and ABC-bleeding were calculated and the predictive values for myocardial infarction (MI), acute heart failure (HF), a composite of cardiovascular events, and all-cause deaths were compared.Results We included 1,044 patients (49.2% male; median age 76 [71–81] years). During 6.5 (4.3–7.9) years, there were 58 (5.6%) MIs, 98 (9.4%) acute HFs, 167 (16%) cardiovascular events, and 418 (40%) all-cause deaths. There were no differences in mean ABC-stroke and ABC-bleeding scores in patients with/without MI (p = 0.367 and p = 0.286, respectively); both scores were higher in patients with acute HF, cardiovascular events, or death (all p < 0.05). Predictive performances for the ABC-stroke and ABC-bleeding scores were similar, ranging from “poor” for MI (c-indexes ∼0.54), “moderate” for acute HF and cardiovascular events (c-indexes ∼0.60 and ∼0.64, respectively), and “good” for all-cause mortality (c-indexes > 0.70). Clinical usefulness whether assessed by ABC-stroke or ABC-bleeding was similar for various primary endpoints.Conclusion In AF patients, the ABC-stroke and ABC-bleeding scores demonstrated similar predictive ability for outcomes beyond stroke and bleeding, including MI, acute HF, a composite of cardiovascular events, and all-cause deaths. This is consistent with nonspecificity of biomarkers that predict “sick” patients or poor prognosis overall.
Dear friends, traitors and filthy dogs
Authors: Vasilaki Maria 
Published: June 2020

AbstractA growing line of research focuses on users’ discussions on social networking sites regarding the causes and consequences of the Greek crisis, as well as on online impoliteness in polarised political debates. Following this trend, I set out to examine how vocatives meant to address non-present interactants (such as politicians or collectivised others) are employed by Greek Facebook and YouTube users to delegitimate their perceived political opponents and attribute blame for the country’s problematic politico-economic situation. I am focusing both on standardly impolite vocatives (personalised negative vocatives) and on superficially polite vocatives (vocatives of mock-endearment and mock-deference), examining their structure and purpose in comments discussing the critical period of the 2015 Greek referendum and subsequent elections. Findings suggest that users exploit norms of standardised politeness and cultural expectations within the Greek interactional context to denigrate their political opponents. Additionally, capitalising on salient discourses on the Greek crisis and on the Greek historical past, on the political content of their discussions, and on the affordances of social media, they take advantage of taboo themes typically associated with impoliteness to name the culprits behind the troublesome everyday Greek reality.
Productive phonological bootstrapping in early EFL of 4th-graders in German primary schools
Authors: Kieseier Teresa 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
It has been suggested that learners can use their phonological knowledge receptively in other linguistic domains,
for instance to support lexical acquisition, a process referred to as “phonological bootstrapping” (Christophe et al., 1997). However, research on productive phonological processes in early foreign
language acquisition has been rare. The present study addresses this gap and shows that phonology functions as a deliberate
productive resource to compensate for lexical limitations in early foreign language acquisition. 184 4th grade students learning
English at German primary schools were asked to tell a picture story in English. Findings show that the majority of learners use a
strategy we name “productive phonological bootstrapping” to fill lexical gaps by adapting German items to the English sound
system. Similar phonological phenomena as in other language contact domains occur in a combination with manipulations based on
differences between German and English, suggesting an interplay of universal and language-specific processes.
Differential Object Marking in the speech of children learning Basque and
Spanish
Authors: Austin Jennifer 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
Basque speakers use dative case and agreement with animate,
specific direct objects, a pattern that has been argued to be an instance of
contact-induced Differential Object Marking (DOM) stemming from contact with
the leísta dialect of Spanish spoken in the Basque Autonomous Community.
This study compares the oral production of DOM in Basque and in Spanish by
bilingual and monolingual children and by adults. While the bilingual
children produced few tokens of DOM in Spanish, both bilingual and
monolingual children used DOM in Basque more frequently than adults. In
addition, bilingual children produced DOM at the same age in both Basque and
Spanish, but at an earlier age in Basque than monolingual children do,
suggesting that bilingualism in Spanish may accelerate the use of DOM in
Basque. The implications of these findings for grammatical innovations
driven by language contact are discussed.
The distribution of Differential Object Marking in L1 and L2 River Plate
Spanish
Authors: Judy Tiffany , Iverson Michael 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
This study examines Differential Object Marking (DOM) in native
and largely naturalistic near-native L2 River Plate Spanish speakers (L1
Persian). Persian and Spanish mark certain direct objects (DO). Most
syntactic descriptions of Spanish claim [+animate,+specific] DOs are marked
while in Persian, all specific DOs are marked regardless of animacy. Native
(n = 23) and L2 speakers (n = 8)
completed a Grammaticality Judgment Task with correction
(n = 48 experimental tokens) manipulating animacy and
specificity with marked and unmarked DOs. Individual level results show
divergence from conventional syntactic descriptions, and some native
speakers also produced corrected sentences traditionally considered
ungrammatical in Spanish (e.g. DOM with inanimate DOs). Since the L2
speakers did not indiscriminately accept all specific marked DOs, L1
transfer alone cannot explain their results.
Animacy hierarchy effects on L2 processing of Differential Object
Marking
Authors: Sagarra Nuria , Bel Aurora , Sánchez Liliana 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
Studies on L2 processing of Differential Object Marking (DOM) are
scant and mostly focus on the animacy of the object. We investigated the
interaction of three understudied factors in L1 and L2 processing of DOM:
type of animacy (human vs. non-human animal), gender and number of the
object (masculine vs. feminine, plural vs. singular), and morphological
salience of the DOM marker (e.g., al bound/less salient vs.
a unbound/more salient). Forty-three Spanish
monolinguals and 81 English learners of Spanish (39 intermediate, 42
advanced) completed a self-paced reading task with subject relative clauses
(RCs) containing DPs with singular and plural human or animal direct object
nouns. Results showed that L2 learners’ sensitivity to animacy hierarchy
differences is possible in cognitively easy conditions (unbound DOM,
masculine gender). These findings inform current L2 representational and
processing models, and stress the value of examining multiple factors to
fully understand the complexity of DOM.
Comprehension of Differential Object Marking by Hindi heritage
speakers
Authors: Bhatia Archna , Montrul Silvina 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
We investigated the comprehension of Differential Object Marking
(DOM) in Hindi heritage speakers who are second generation immigrants in the
United States. In Hindi, DOM is marked with the postposition
-ko, which is also a marker of dative case with
indirect objects. Studies of Hindi heritage speakers have found omission of
-ko with animate, specific direct objects in oral
production and that speakers find omitted –ko acceptable in
the same contexts in judgment tasks. The present study assessed whether the
vulnerability of DOM in heritage grammars is also measurable at the level of
auditory and written comprehension. In addition, we investigate whether
accuracy with the comprehension of DOM relates to quantity and quality of
input by controlling for age of onset of bilingualism. Thirty-eight young
adult heritage speakers, 23 adult immigrants from India, and 43 Hindi
speakers in India (all Hindi-English bilinguals) completed an off-line
written/auditory sentence comprehension task with pictures. The results show
that Hindi speakers from India and the Hindi immigrants performed largely at
ceiling, whereas some heritage speakers had difficulty with DOM in
comprehension.
Differential Object Marking in Romanian as a heritage language
Authors: Montrul Silvina , Bateman Nicoleta 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
This cross-generational study investigated the potential
vulnerability of DOM in the oral production of Romanian heritage speakers as
a function of age of onset of bilingualism (simultaneous vs. sequential
bilinguals). In Romanian DOM marking generally co-exists with accusative
clitic doubling (CD). Fifty-two Romanian speakers in Romania, 32 Romanian
immigrants who arrived to the US after age 18, and 29 heritage speakers of
Romanian completed a written proficiency test and an oral narrative task.
The results showed that DOM is vulnerable to erosion in heritage speakers of
Romanian, and those speakers who omit DOM also omit CD. Age of onset of
bilingualism modulated DOM and CD omission in heritage speakers:
simultaneous bilinguals made more errors with DOM and CD than sequential
bilinguals. The Romanian immigrants did not show attrition of DOM.
Over-sensitivity to the animacy constraint on DOM in low proficient Turkish heritage speakers
Authors: Krause Elif , Roberts Leah 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
This study investigated knowledge of a semantics-morphosyntax
interface phenomenon in Turkish-German heritage bilingual speakers: optional
accusative case marking on indefinite direct objects, an instance of
Differential Object Marking (DOM), in Turkish and its interaction with the
animacy of the direct object argument. We investigated whether the non-DOM
language German, has an influence on the DOM-language Turkish in Turkish
heritage bilingual speakers whose dominant language is German. The results
of an acceptability judgment task show no cross crosslinguistic influence
from the dominant German; the results reveal instead a sensitivity to
animacy level of the indefinite direct objects, since heritage speakers make
finer animacy distinctions compared to the monolingual Turkish speakers. The
study also shows that proficiency level in Turkish contributes to DOM
accuracy in the bilingual speakers.
Acquisition of Differential Object Marking in Korean
Authors: Chung Eun Seon 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
The present chapter investigated whether Differential Object
Marking (DOM) in Korean can be subject to the same generalizations made for
acquisition of DOM in other languages – the early target-like use of DOM by
monolingual children in contrast to variability and incomplete knowledge of
second language (L2) and heritage language (HL) learners. The main findings
of the two studies reported in this chapter largely correspond to such
generalizations, although there were important differences. While native
Korean children and HL learners showed notable similarities with native
adult controls, L2 learners integrated relevant factors in a divergent
manner. Such findings indicate that early exposure to aural naturalistic
input plays a key role in the acquisition of the Korean DOM system.
Side-polished fiber sensor for measurement of the color concentration in lubricant products
Authors: Yunardi RT , Akbar AS , Sukmayani I , Supadi  , A’yun Qurrotul , Apsari R 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
Color concentration is a key parameter to mark lubricant product specifications. Lubricant color does not necessarily indicate product quality, but the grade’s color range can indicate possible contamination by another product. This study aims to design a side-polished fiber to measure color concentration in lubricants. The sensor is obtained by stripping the cladding of 1 mm polymer optical fiber. The side-polished fiber weaken light intensity due to the absorptive properties of color concentrate for visible light. The light source in this study is tri-color LED and the OPT101 as a light detector. Light passing through the fiber is converted by the detector into a voltage output. The results showed that the sensor is capable of detecting the concentration of color with measurement ranging from 10 mg/L to 200 mg/L. The output voltage of sensor’s sensitivity is up to 0.039 (mg/L)/mV, 0.042 (mg/L)/mV and 0.047 (mg/L)/mV for the red, green and blue light sources respectively. The average linear correlation is 97.3 % in liquid lubricants. The designed sensor could be applied in ASTM D-1500 for color scale measurement of lubricant oil products.
Thermally and optically functionalized titania nanoparticles for pH sensing
Authors: Islam Shumaila , Bakhtiar Hazri , Hani Jameela Binti Sapingi Husni 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
Owing to the sensing applications, titania nanoparticles (TNPs) are synthesized by sol-gel route at low temperature (80 °C). For pH sensing response, four different pH dyes (phenol red, bromophenol blue, cresol red, and phenolphthalein) mixture is immobilized within TNPs. Thermal and structural behaviour of synthesized TNPs is observed by Thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Thermally stable co-dyes immobilized TNPs confirms void-free surface morphology with heterogeneous chemical bonding. Furthermore, prepared sensing device has linear response with determination coefficient (R2) ∼ 0.97 and sensitivity is calculated as ∼154 I/pH at 431 nm. The response is optimized at pH 11.
Europium Doped Magnesium Zinc Sulfophosphate Glass as Potential Red Laser Host

Published: June 2020

Abstract
Demand for rare earth ions (REIs) doped inorganic glasses have been ever-increasing for diverse photonic applications. Synthesis of these glasses needs the appropriate choice of suitable host matrices, modifiers, and REIs as dopants to improve their spectroscopic traits. In this realization, a new series of magnesium-zinc-sulfophosphate glasses were prepared with varied europium ions (Eu3+) doping contents (0 to 2.0 mol%). Such melt-quench synthesized glasses were characterized at room temperature by diverse analytical techniques to determine their physical and optical properties. XRD pattern of as-quenched samples confirmed their amorphous nature. Densities of the glass system were observed to increase from 2.540 to 2.788 g.cm−3 with the increase in Eu3+ doping contents from 0 to 2.0 mol% which were attributed to the generation of more bridging oxygen atoms and enhanced network compactness. Photoluminescence (PL) emission spectra of glasses exhibited four characteristic peaks positioned at 593, 613, 654 and 701 nm assigned to corresponding 5D0→7F0, 5D0→7F2, 5D0→7F3, and 5D0→7F4 transitions in Eu3+, in which the intensity of the peak at 613 nm (red) was highest. Emission intensities of all peaks were enhanced with the rise in Eu3+ content up to 1.5 mol% and quenched thereafter. It was affirmed that the physical and optical traits of these glass compositions can be improved by adjusting the Eu3+ doping contents. The proposed glass compositions may be potential for the development of varied photonic devices especially for eye safe solid-state red laser and fibre sensors.

Published: June 2020

Abstract
In this work, we have successfully fabricated the fiber Bragg grating (FBG) with 1 cm and 3 cm grating length, respectively. The different grating length fabricated by adjusting the slit aperture in order to control UV light transmission while inscribing on the single mode fiber. Then the FBG was demonstrated through different grating length over temperature sensor to determine the differences for temperature sensing. The range for temperature The measured sensitivity of 1 cm and 3 cm grating length is 0.0103 nm/°C and 0.0132 nm/°C respectively at the same value of applied temperature. As a results, the shorter grating length, 1 cm has higher sensitivity response compared to 3 cm grating length over temperature sensing.
