Authors: Reksodiputro Mirta Hediyati , Koento Trimartani , Manunggal Dwi Wahyu 
Published: September 2021

Auricular defects must be treated early and properly because they may interfere with facial symmetry. Retroauricular skin is an ideal flap source for a non-reduction reconstruction procedure of the upper, middle, and lower auricular defects. Auricular reconstruction aims to achieve good anthropometric and aesthetic ear unit. The purpose of this case report is to present a reconstruction of auricular defects using the rectroauricular flap that results in a favorable aesthetic and normal anthropometric dimensions of the auricular. We report a case of auricular defect caused by post-excision of keloid located in the helical and antithetical area of the middle third of the right auricular, using a retroauricular flap. Normal values of the auricular’s anthropometric measurements were achieved, followed by a complete aesthetic ear unit. Retroauricular flaps are suitable for reconstructing partial auricle defects in the helical rim, temporal area, and conchae.
Keywords: auricular defect, retroauricular flap, aesthetic ear unit, auricular anthropometry.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To compare mineral types of naturally occurring uroliths in ferrets (Mustela putorius furo) from North America, Europe, and Asia and to identify potential risk factors associated with cystine urolithiasis in ferrets.

SAMPLES
1,054 laboratory submission records of uroliths obtained from ferrets between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2018.

PROCEDURES
For this cross-sectional study, the medical records databases at 4 diagnostic laboratories were searched for records of submissions of uroliths obtained from ferrets. Data collection included submission date; ferret sex, neuter status, and age; receiving laboratory and continent; and urolith mineral type. Regression analyses were performed to identify variables associated with cystine uroliths.

RESULTS
Of the 1,054 urolith submissions, 1,013 were from North America, with 92.6% (938/1,013; 95% CI, 90.8% to 94.1%) cystine uroliths, and 41 were from Europe and Asia, with only 26.8% (11/41; 95% CI, 15.7% to 41.9%) cystine uroliths. Median age was 2.0 years for ferrets with cystine urolithiasis versus 4.0 years for those with other types of uroliths. Submissions were more likely cystine uroliths for ferrets in North America versus Europe and Asia (adjusted OR [aOR], 59.5; 95% CI, 21.4 to 165.6), for ferrets that were younger (aOR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.58 to 0.77), or for submissions in 2018 versus 2010 (aOR, 21.1; 95% CI, 5.1 to 87.9).

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Results indicated that the proportion of submissions that were cystine uroliths dramatically increased in North America between 2010 and 2018. There is an urgent need to determine underlying causes and mitigate cystine urolithiasis in ferrets.
Efficacy of ethylene oxide–sterilized waterproof cases for handheld cameras as sterile barriers for intraoperative imaging and recording

Published: September 2021

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy of ethylene oxide (EtOH) sterilization of 4 different waterproof camera cases and the ability of those sterilized cases to maintain a sterile barrier for intraoperative camera use.

SAMPLE
3 action cameras, 1 smartphone, and associated waterproof cases.

PROCEDURES
Cases were inoculated by immersion in medium containing Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and then manually cleaned and subjected to EtOH sterilization. Cameras were disinfected, loaded into sterile cases, and sterilely operated for 2 hours. Samples were collected from cases after inoculation, EtOH sterilization, camera loading, and 1 and 2 hours of operation and from all cameras after 2 hours of operation. Procedures were repeated twice, followed by an additional challenge round wherein cameras were purposefully contaminated prior to loading. All samples underwent bacterial culture.

RESULTS
All cases were successfully sterilized, and loading of nonsterile cameras into sterile cases caused no contamination when cameras had been disinfected beforehand. Nonpathogenic environmental contaminants were recovered from 6 of 64 culture samples and 2 of 4 room samples. During the challenge round, only the postload sample for 1 case yielded E coli, suggesting sterile glove contamination; however, postload, 1-hour, and 2-hour samples for the GoPro case yielded E coli and S pseudintermedius, suggesting major contamination.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Results suggested that the evaluated cases can be safely sterilized with EtOH and used for image acquisition by aseptically prepared surgeons when cameras are disinfected prior to loading. Except for the GoPro camera, camera use did not jeopardize sterile integrity.

Published: September 2021

Abstract
The article reports on the results of the numerical and the laboratory tests to determine the effect of concrete damages near support areas in compressed zone of the reinforced concrete beams on their residual bearing capacity of inclined sections. According to the experimental plan, 15 single-span freely supported experimental samples with dimensions of 100×200×1200 mm made with different artificial damages within the shear span aν (1d, 2d, and 3d) were tested. The numerical test of prototypes was performed in software complex LIRA-SAPR 2017. The results of laboratory and numerical experiments showed good convergence regarding the bearing capacity, however, the nature of the fracture in samples B11-B14 did not match. Empirical - conducting laboratory experiments on samples using modern methods of measurement; numerical modelling – using software complex LIRA-SAPR 2017; analysis and statistical processing of the obtained research results; comparison of the obtained results; abstraction; generalization; deduction; formulation of the main conclusions and recommendations. The analysis found that the bearing capacity decreases with increased area of damage and shear span. Conducting the calculations in software complex LIRA-SAPR allows to predict the work elements and determine the bearing capacity with good accuracy, but in comparison with the real data there still are some differences in the character of destruction.
Rethinking niche tourism: The example of backpacking
Authors: Richards Greg 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
This conceptual paper re-evaluates the concept of niches in tourism markets. As many regions are now attempting to address niche markets in tourism as a development strategy, understanding of the dynamics of niche markets is crucial. Current approaches are often limited to seeing niche markets as simple subsectors of larger consumer markets. We argue for a broader view of market niches as forms of social rituals involving both consumers and producers with a mutual focus of attention. Based on the work of Randall Collins we examine how interaction rituals are produced and maintained, and how these are also reflected in niche markets, such as backpacking. We illustrate the how backpacking produces a mutual focus of attention and boundaries to outsiders, helping to sustain the niche over the longer term. This analysis has implications for producers hoping to tap into niche markets, as they too need to become part of the niche community.

Published: September 2021

Abstract
Modified concretes and fiber concretes for rigid pavements have been investigated. Four-factor experiment was conducted. The amount of Portland cement, polypropylene fiber, metakaolin and polycarboxylate superplasticizer varied in the experiment. All mixtures had the same mobility S2.
The active mineral additive metakaolin increases the compressive strength of concrete and its tensile strength in bending. The amount of metakaolin at the level of 15.20 kg/m3 is rational. Due to a decrease in W/C with an increase in the amount of superplasticizer Coral ExpertSuid-5 to 0.9.1%, the compressive strength of concrete increases by 5.7 MPa, the tensile strength in bending increases by 0.5.0.6 MPa. Due to the introduction of polypropylene fiber, the tensile strength of concrete in bending increases by 0.6.0.9 MPa, the frost resistance of concrete increases by 50 cycles. Due to the use of a rational amount of superplasticizer and metakaolin, the frost resistance of concretes and fiber concretes concrete increases by 50-100 cycles. The use of a rational amount of modifiers and fiber reduces the abrasion of concretes by 40.45%.
The developed modified fiber concretes of rigid pavements, depending on the amount of Portland cement, have compressive strength from 55 MPa to 70 MPa, tensile strength in bending from 8 MPa to 9.5 MPa, frost resistance from F350 to F450, abrasion from 0.30 to 0.40 g/cm2. Such strength, frost resistance and abrasion resistance allow the use of fiber concretes in pavements with the greatest load and ensures high durability of the material and corresponds to the directions and tasks of the state scientific and technical program “National Transport Strategy of Ukraine for the period up to 2030”

Authors: Caruso James P. , Shi Chen , Rail Benjamin , Aoun Salah G. , Bagley Carlos A. 
Published: September 2021

Background:
Many patients with spinal juvenile pilocytic astrocytoma can experience prolonged remission after resection. However, some reports suggest that pregnancy may be associated with progression.

Case Description:
The authors provide an image report highlighting a case of rapid and aggressive transformation of an intramedullary astrocytoma of the cervical spine in a pregnant patient. Over the course of 1 year, the lesion progressed from a juvenile pilocytic astrocytoma to an anaplastic astrocytoma. Genetic testing revealed mutations associated with aggressive behavior.

Conclusion:
The case and associated imaging demonstrate the importance of close neurologic monitoring and counseling regarding risk of progression in pregnant patients with spinal gliomas.

La lógica formal, el pensamiento crítico y la cognición situada
Authors: Guamanga Miguel Hernando 
Published: September 2021

En este ensayo se plantea que la enseñanza de la lógica formal, en función del desarrollo de las habilidades esenciales de pensamiento crítico, debe enmarcarse en la enseñanza situacional (o cognición situada) a través del análisis y la evaluación de los argumentos auténticos que pululan en la realidad inmediata, para dar cuenta de los límites y alcances que tiene la misma lógica formal. La consecuencia pedagógica de esto es mostrar una lógica que trasciende así misma con el fin de validarse como una herramienta útil para el análisis y evaluación de argumentos; y que luego, en su inmanencia, se retrae para reconocerse falible y en continua revisión, para así poder o no ser inscrita en relación con el desarrollo de las habilidades del pensamiento crítico.

Resumen: En este artículo se muestra la estrecha relación que en los años 30 y 40 del siglo XX se estableció entre el cómic y el serial cinematográfico. Se explora la importancia del cómic tanto a nivel cuantitativo, con la gran producción de películas seriales basadas en cómics, como cualitativo, con la interrelación que se produjo a nivel narrativo entre el modelo de serialidad infinita de las tiras de prensa y el modelo narrativo de los seriales. Se produjo una relación intermedial a nivel industrial que fue fundamental a la hora del desarrollo de los seriales y que tiene muchos paralelismos con el modelo de franquicias que domina el panorama audiovisual en nuestros días.
Abstract: This paper shows the close relationship that was established between the comic and the movie serials in the 1930s and 1940s. The importance of comics is explored both quantitatively, with the great production of serial films based on comics, and qualitatively with the interrelation that occurred at a narrative level between the open ended narrative model of the comic strips and the narrative model of the serials. There was an intermedia relationship at the industrial level that was essential when it came to developing the serials and that has many parallels with the franchise model that dominates the audiovisual scene today.

Exploring Multi-Level Composition and Efficient MCM Schemes for an Energy-Efficient Wavelet Haar Architecture
Authors: Seidel Henrique , Rosa Morgana da , Paim Guilherme , Costa Eduardo , Almeida Sergio , Bampi Sergio 
Published: September 2021

This work explores multi-level fixed-point Haar transform compositions combined with MCM (multiple constant multiplication) schemes for an energy-efficient hardware architecture. We investigate a set of six lower-level Haar transforms for composing a Haar-9 architecture. The multiple-level Haar transforms use as a base M=1, M=2, and M=3 resolution levels. The processing module (PM) of the Haar explores efficient MCM schemes. The architectures were described in VHDL and synthesized employing the ST 65nm CMOS cell library. The results show that Haar-II architecture presents the lower circuit area results since this architecture requires fewer arithmetic operators. However, the most energy-efficient Haar-9 hardware architecture employs a combination of two M=2 with five M=1 blocks with a efficient MCM architecture reduced to only two arithmetic operators.
The Difficulties Faced by Indonesian EFL Learners in Pronouncing "S" and "Es" Suffixes in the Simple Present Tense Verbs and in Plural Form of Nouns
Authors: Saputra Andri , Hakim M.Arif Rahman , Saputra Eko , Rahmat Yurike Nadiya 
Published: September 2021

The authors perceive that Indonesian EFL learners find it challenging to pronounce -s and -es suffixes properly. This position was first established during the authors’ teaching experiences in some high schools, English centre course and colleges (for students majoring in English Education) in Indonesia. The observations were confirmed not only during teaching, but throughout the authors’ own English study. It seemed difficult to adhere to the rules of suffix use in spoken language, i.e. How -s and -es suffixes should and should not be pronounced during a conversation. Generally speaking, Indonesian EFL learners do not pay much attention to pronouncing the suffixes of -s or –es, and although many English users accept such mistakes in conversation with non-native speakers, it is not, however, an error a native-speaker is likely to make. In fact, this issue could lead to misunderstanding when non-native English users have conversations with native speakers. This study aims to present comparative literature review of a number research studies related to teachers’ experiences and other EFL learners. Firstly, this study explains a presentation of existing relevant research on pronunciation is offered. This is followed by an explanation of the specific difficulties faced by Indonesian EFL learners in pronouncing -s and -es suffixes in the present tense verbs and plural form of nouns. The discussion part suggests practical ways of dealing with the difficulties in pronouncing -s and -es suffixes of present tense verbs and the plural form of nouns, and proposes several activities to this end.
Reading Journal Articles for Thesis Preparation: Voices from EFL Undergraduates
Authors: Rahman Kasyfur 
Published: September 2021

This paper seeks to explore the undergraduates’ experiences when reading journal articles as references for their thesis composition through a narrative inquiry. Four undergraduates of English Language Education program at UIN Mataram were interviewed to analyze what they encountered when reading such genre. The findings suggest that their experiences mostly circulated around their motivation and challenges, therefore the narratives were focused on these facets. In terms of motivation, these students seemed to be strongly driven by controlled motivation that entailed the need for a model, accessibility and currency, as well as demands from supervisors and institutions. Furthermore, these students also encountered challenges in terms of unfamiliar academic technical terms and vocabulary, boredom due to text complexities, and failed reading strategies. These findings imply the need of scaffolding the reading of journal articles for undergraduates in their final year of study.
