Published: December 2019

Aims Distal radial fractures are the most common fracture sustained by the adult population. Most can be treated using cast immobilization without the need for surgery. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of a definitive trial comparing the commonly used fibreglass cast immobilization with an alternative product called Woodcast. Woodcast is a biodegradable casting material with theoretical benefits in terms of patient comfort as well as benefits to the environment. Methods This was a multicentre, two-arm, open-label, parallel-group randomized controlled feasibility trial. Patients with a fracture of the distal radius aged 16 years and over were recruited from four centres in the UK and randomized (1:1) to receive a Woodcast or fibreglass cast. Data were collected on participant recruitment and retention, clinical efficacy, safety, and patient acceptability. Results Over an eight-month period, 883 patients were screened, 271 were found to be eligible, and 120 were randomized. Patient-reported outcome measures were available for 116 (97%) of participants at five weeks and 99 (83%) at three months. Clinical outcomes and patient acceptability were similar between the two interventions and no serious adverse events were reported in either intervention arm. Conclusion Both interventions were deemed efficacious and safe in the cohort studied. This study showed that a definitive study comparing Woodcast and fibreglass was feasible in terms of patient recruitment and retention. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2020;102-B(1):48–54

Published: December 2019

Aims Trochlear dysplasia is a significant risk factor for patellofemoral instability. The Dejour classification is currently considered the standard for classifying trochlear dysplasia, but numerous studies have reported poor reliability on both plain radiography and MRI. The severity of trochlear dysplasia is important to establish in order to guide surgical management. We have developed an MRI-specific classification system to assess the severity of trochlear dysplasia, the Oswestry-Bristol Classification (OBC). This is a four-part classification system comprising normal, mild, moderate, and severe to represent a normal, shallow, flat, and convex trochlear, respectively. The purpose of this study was to assess the inter- and intraobserver reliability of the OBC and compare it with that of the Dejour classification. Methods Four observers (two senior and two junior orthopaedic surgeons) independently assessed 32 CT and axial MRI scans for trochlear dysplasia and classified each according to the OBC and the Dejour classification systems. Assessments were repeated following a four-week interval. The inter- and intraobserver agreement was determined by using Fleiss’ generalization of Cohen’s kappa statistic and S-statistic nominal and linear weights. Results The OBC showed fair-to-good interobserver agreement and good-to-excellent intraobserver agreement (mean kappa 0.68). The Dejour classification showed poor interobserver agreement and fair-to-good intraobserver agreement (mean kappa 0.52) Conclusion The OBC can be used to assess the severity of trochlear dysplasia. It can be applied in clinical practice to simplify and standardize surgical decision-making in patients with recurrent patella instability. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2020;102-B(1):102–107

Aims The aim of this study was to describe implant and patient-reported outcome in patients with a unilateral transfemoral amputation (TFA) treated with a bone-anchored, transcutaneous prosthesis. Methods In this cohort study, all patients with a unilateral TFA treated with the Osseointegrated Prostheses for the Rehabilitation of Amputees (OPRA) implant system in Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg, Sweden, between January 1999 and December 2017 were included. The cohort comprised 111 patients (78 male (70%)), with a mean age 45 years (17 to 70). The main reason for amputation was trauma in 75 (68%) and tumours in 23 (21%). Patients answered the Questionnaire for Persons with Transfemoral Amputation (Q-TFA) before treatment and at two, five, seven, ten, and 15 years’ follow-up. A prosthetic activity grade was assigned to each patient at each timepoint. All mechanical complications, defined as fracture, bending, or wear to any part of the implant system resulting in removal or change, were recorded. Results The Q-TFA scores at two, five, seven, and ten years showed significantly more prosthetic use, better mobility, fewer problems, and an improved global situation, compared with baseline. The survival rate of the osseointegrated implant part (the fixture) was 89% and 72% after seven and 15 years, respectively. A total of 61 patients (55%) had mechanical complications (mean 3.3 (SD 5.76)), resulting in exchange of the percutaneous implant parts. There was a positive relationship between a higher activity grade and the number of mechanical complications. Conclusion Compared with before treatment, the patient-reported outcome was significantly better and remained so over time. Although osseointegration and the ability to transfer loads over a 15-year period have been demonstrated, a large number of mechanical failures in the external implant parts were found. Since these were related to higher activity, restrictions in activity and improvements to the mechanical properties of the implant system are required.

Published: December 2019

A prevalência de enteroparasitose e sua associação com perfil hematológico e bioquímico, em adultos de ambos os gêneros, na faixa etária 18 e 65 anos, residentes na cidade de Cametá, Brasil, foi avaliada, por meio de um estudo prospectivo, quantitativo e transversal. Foram coletadas amostras de 76 individuos para exames parasitológicos, hemogramas e bioquímicos. Em 18 amostras (23,68% dos participantes) não foi detectada qualquer infecção por enteroparasita e 58 (76,31%) apresentaram helmintos e/ou protozoários. Quanto às alterações hematológicas, houve uma leve diminuição nos níveis de hemoglobina, hematócrito, VCM, HCM e aumento de leucócitos e segmentados, porém não significativos quando correlacionados com a presença dos parasitas. No que se refere aos parâmetros bioquímicos, não houve diferenças significativas entre o grupo controle (n=18) e os participantes positivos (n=58) do estudo. Entretanto, foi observado um aumento significativo nos níveis de triglicerídeos, colesterol total e fração LDL (p<0,0001) dos participantes positivos em relação aos negativos. Das 58 amostras positivas, 40 estavam infectadas por apenas um enteroparasita e 18 por dois ou mais parasitas. Independentemente do número, apenas alterações bioquímicas foram observadas, sugerindo que o parasita utiliza as lipoproteínas plasmáticas do hospedeiro como veículos lipídicos, para promover uma resposta de fase aguda.

Published: December 2019

Background: Cervical cancer have significant impacts on the quality of life (QOL) of the women experiencing it. Limited studies are exploring QOL among Indonesian women diagnosed with cervical cancer.Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the QOL of women with cervical cancer who received radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the QOL among 164 women with cervical cancer undergoing treatment. A consecutive sampling technique was used to recruit the samples. The EORTC QLQ-C 30 and QLQ-CX 24 were used to measure the QOL and sexual-related symptoms. The data collected were analyzed and presented as descriptive statistics in the form of means and standard deviations. Results: The mean of the global health status of general well-being and QOL of the women was 54.56 ± 25.47. In the QOL subgroups of functional status, the physical function (55.94) and role functions (55.34) were most frequently reported to affect QOL. Regarding sexual-related symptoms of the women, sexual worry (52.72) and menopause symptoms (48.03) were the two most prevalent symptoms which impacted QOL.Conclusions: The quality of life of women with cervical cancer in Indonesia was generally at the higher end of the scale, and yet the majority of the women reported high prevalent symptoms of cancer and adverse effects of treatments. Comprehensive, high quality and culturally sensitive care for women with cervical cancer needs to be implemented in Indonesia, which has unique social and cultural beliefs.
Towards an Enterprise Model for the Academic Researcher
Authors: Eyitayo Oduronke , Leburu-Dingalo Tebo K. 
Published: December 2019

We are in an age where there are several societal and scientific challenges that are facing humanity. The academic researcher is not left out of this entire dilemma. The same researcher who is expected to be active in research within the university system is also expected to be committed to teaching and service assignments. The research task itself requires a lot of processes scattered around various work, culture, people and structure such as writing proposals, liaising with the research department, looking for materials in the library, learning appropriate applications with the Information Technology (IT) department etc.
The study is based on a case study of the University of Botswana. It uses the Nadler-Tushman Congruence Framework to perform a gap analysis on the current system. The outcome from the study is a proposed model to help align work, culture, people and structure. The blueprint provided by the model will allow one to see the real impact of change, identifying where gaps and opportunities exist, and understand how and where things can be improved for the benefit of all stakeholders. The paper also proposes that a more detailed model can be achieved using The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) architecture model.
Ideal mathematical model of shock compression and shock expansion
Authors: Šmída Zdeněk , Kolarčík Kamil , Honus Stanislav 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Shock compression and expansion are phenomena which occur mainly in screw or vane compressors. They occur when there is an imbalance in the built-in and total pressure ratio. These are phenomena that have a negative impact on the operation of these machines and, in general, cause instability in operation, an increase in energy consumption and an overall worsening of the operational economy. The aim of this article is to present newly discovered information regarding making work processes of said compressors more effective, as in many cases, shock phenomena are subconsciously underestimated. The set aim was reached by creating an ideal simulation of isothermal compression of an ideal gas with the implementation of shock phenomena, which were performed on a screw compressor with the operating pressure 7 bar and a flow performance of 3 440 l min−1. Based on the simulations performed, the hypotheses which set forth that the impact of shock phenomena ultimately leads to a sudden increase in compressor power consumption were confirmed. E.g. at 6 bar, the instantaneous power consumption increases by about 5.74% during shock compression and by about 55.95% during shock expansion. This paper deals with new insights and at the same time presents the follow-up research.

Abstract
Structural analysis of aeromagnetic and Landsat data over Ankpa area, Benue state was carried out to delineate the basement topography, hydrocarbon potentials, groundwater availability and the structures that control basin formation. The Landsat imagery generated from this study was further processed using Geomatica software (version 9.0). The results obtained revealed that the drainage pattern is dendritic which could be associated to the lithological, structural and topographic differences. Also, this may indicate the presence of alluvial rocks, typically of the same geology, mainly of sedimentary rocks. This present study is in good agreement with the areas in the lineament map of high-density structures. The observation showed that the study area constitutes densely lineaments that cut across each other, which may be attributed to groundwater availability and upward migration of hydrocarbon-bearing formation. The structural trend is predominantly in the NE-SW direction and agrees with the Landsat data structural trends. Significantly, this NE-SW trend is in agreement with the trend of Benue Trough (NE –SW) and could be that they have the same structural control.
Performance Evaluation of CNT/MoS2 Hybrid Nanofluid in Machining for Surface Roughness
Authors: Gugulothu Srinu , Pasam Vamsi Krishna 
Published: December 2019

Present work is motivated by the high thermal conductivity of MWCNT and low coefficient of friction due to MoS2 nanoparticles which can significantly improve the heat transfer and lubrication performance of hybrid nanofluids than nanofluids. Hybrid nanofluids are prepared with CNT/MoS2 nanoparticles of 1wt% in sesame oil, neem oil and mahua oil by varying hybrid ratio (i.e. 1: 1; 1:2 and 2:1) and surfactant. The hybrid nanofluid composition is evaluated based on stability analysis from sedimentation and zeta potential studies. The concentration of nanoparticles is varied by preparing CNT/MoS2 hybrid nanofluid using obtained composition for stability and selected the optimal concentration for the lowest coefficient of friction obtained in friction test. The property of thermal conductivity is also evaluated for varying concentration of hybrid nanofluid at room temperature. The contact angle for CNT/MoS2 hybrid nanofluids is evaluated with a contact angle meter to understand the lubrication effect. Experimental findings for stable hybrid nanofluid are found to be sesame oil, SDS with 15% content of nanoparticle weight and 1:2 hybrid ratio. From friction test, it is observed that 2 wt%concentration is optimal for least coefficient of friction (0.038). Minimum surface roughness (Ra) is observed with 2 wt% of hybrid nanofluid compared to dry machining and conventional cutting fluid. Optimum conditions for minimum surface roughness are evaluated in turning of AISI1040 steel with the use of 2wt% of CNT/MoS2 hybrid nanofluid in RSM. Ra value is observed to decrease with an increase in cutting speed and increased with an increase in feed and depth of cut.

Published: December 2019

This study focuses on the problem of the extent to which human rights and islamicity (Islamic law norms) are accommodated within Indonesian anti-terrorism law (Law No. 5 of 2018). The study uses a qualitative approach with a documentary study in data collection. The result shows that Law No. 5 of 2018 has threatened human rights in some issues. This is indicated by certain matters including arrest, detention, capital punishment, interception, and revocation of citizenship. Meanwhile, the islamicity of Law No. 5 of 2018 is open to interpretation and reinterpretation. The study of measuring human rights and islamicity of Law No. 5 of 2018 has a significant contribution to the substantive implementation of Islamic criminal law in the context of Indonesianness, as well as modernity, which also means the implementation of Islamic law and human rights at once.

Published: December 2019

OBJECTIVES:
The tuberculin skin test (TST) has been preferred for screening young children for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) because of concerns that interferon-γ release assays (IGRAs) may be less sensitive in this high-risk population. In this study, we compared the predictive value of IGRAs to the TST for progression to tuberculosis disease in children, including those &lt;5 years old.

METHODS:
Children &lt;15 years old at risk for LTBI or progression to disease were tested with TST, QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube test (QFT-GIT), and T-SPOT.TB test (T-SPOT) and followed actively for 2 years, then with registry matches, to identify incident disease.

RESULTS:
Of 3593 children enrolled September 2012 to April 2016, 92% were born outside the United States; 25% were &lt;5 years old. Four children developed tuberculosis over a median 4.3 years of follow-up. Sensitivities for progression to disease for TST and IGRAs were low (50%–75%), with wide confidence intervals (CIs). Specificities for TST, QFT-GIT, and T-SPOT were 73.4% (95% CI: 71.9–74.8), 90.1% (95% CI: 89.1–91.1), and 92.9% (95% CI: 92.0–93.7), respectively. Positive and negative predictive values for TST, QFT-GIT, and T-SPOT were 0.2 (95% CI: 0.1–0.8), 0.9 (95% CI: 0.3–2.5), and 0.8 (95% CI: 0.2–2.9) and 99.9 (95% CI: 99.7–100), 100 (95% CI: 99.8–100), and 99.9 (95% CI: 99.8–100), respectively. Of 533 children with TST-positive, IGRA-negative results not treated for LTBI, including 54 children &lt;2 years old, none developed disease.

CONCLUSIONS:
Although both types of tests poorly predict disease progression, IGRAs are no less predictive than the TST and offer high specificity and negative predictive values. Results from this study support the use of IGRAs for children, especially those who are not born in the United States.

Published: December 2019

Background and aimsSpirituality is an important component of 12-step programs for behavioral and substance addictions and has been linked to recovery processes. Understanding the neural correlates of spiritual experiences may help to promote efforts to enhance recovery processes in behavioral addictions. We recently used general linear model (GLM) analyses of functional magnetic resonance imaging data to examine neural correlates of spiritual experiences, with findings implicating cortical and subcortical brain regions. Although informative, the GLM-based approach does not provide insight into brain circuits that may underlie spiritual experiences.MethodsSpatial independent component analysis (sICA) was used to identify functional brain networks specifically linked to spiritual (vs. stressful or neutral-relaxing) conditions using a previously validated guided imagery task in 27 young adults.ResultsUsing sICA, engagement of a ventral frontotemporal network was identified that was engaged at the onset and conclusion of the spiritual condition in a manner distinct from engagement during the stress or neutral-relaxing conditions. Degree of engagement correlated with subjective reports of spirituality in the scanner (r = .71,p < .001) and an out-of-the-magnet measure of spirituality (r = .48,p < .018).Discussion and conclusionThe current findings suggest a distributed functional neural network associated with spiritual experiences and provide a foundation for investigating brain mechanisms underlying the role of spirituality in recovery from behavioral addictions.

Published: December 2019

This research begins from the phenomenon of adolescents who deliberately and join in by others behaving immorally. This phenomenon illustrates moral disengagement, which is the mechanism of individual cognition to look for logical reasons that their immoral behavior can be justified logically. Previous studies found inconsistent research results about the variables that affect moral disengagement. Therefore this study aims to find answers whether concern for other, perspective taking, and internal locus of control have an effect on moral disengagement. This study used correlational quantitative method with multiple regression tests. 500 respondents from high school and vocational high school students in the Province of West Java. The results showed that concern for others, perspective taking and internal locus of control had a significant negative effect on moral disengagement.
