Knetex – Development of a textile-integrated sensor system for feedback-supported rehabilitation after surgery of the anterior cruciate ligament
Authors: Demmer Julia , Kitzig A. , Schlage N. , Stockmanns G. , Naroska E. 
Published: February 2021

Abstract
Patients often report an effect after surgery of the anterior cruciate ligament which is called "giving way". This manifest itself by a drop of the knee or a felt instability. This phenomenon is difficult to measure and validate because it usually does not occur regularly and is not reproducible under laboratory conditions. The Knetex project takes up this point by trying to actively support the rehabilitation process with a bandage that can be worn in everyday life and is constructed as a smart textile using sensors and actuators. For this purpose, on the one hand it is attempted to actively record the phenomenon of the "giving way" by measuring knee angles etc. and by active user feedback. At the same time, the patient is specifically advised by means of actuators to correct incorrect posture or movement in order to make the rehabilitation process more effective and prevent further damage. Two 9-axis IMUs (inertial measurement units) form the basis of the system. These are used together with a textile strain sensor to calculate the knee angles. This paper gives an overview of the planned system, the initial experiments to measure the knee angles and the first results of the actuator study.

Abstract
Pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs) are a common complication associated with pancreatic injury. Drainage of a PFC is usually indicated if a patient becomes symptomatic with complications such as bacterial superinfection, septicaemia, fistulas, biliary obstruction or gastric outlet obstruction. Endoscopic ultrasound guided drainage is a well-established minimally invasive procedure to insert stents into a fluid collection, most prominently plastic double pigtail stents (DPSs) and lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS). Both, DPSs and LAMSs have advantages and disadvantages that need to be considered before treatment. However, the main factors leading to failure of currently available stent systems are the relatively short patency period and bacterial superinfection. In this study, we subjected two broadly used pancreatic stents, a DPS and a LAMS Hot AXIOS stent, which were retrieved from the same patient, to a systematic morphological analysis by scanning electron microscopy in order to identify factors related to stent topography and geometry and potentially involved in stent failure. Results of this work will provide essential information for future innovations regarding the stent design for drainage of PFCs.
Surgical Audio Guidance: Feasibility Check for Robotic Surgery Procedures

Published: February 2021

Abstract
In robot-assisted procedures, the surgeon controls the surgical instruments from a remote console, while visually monitoring the procedure through the endoscope. There is no haptic feedback available to the surgeon, which impedes the assessment of diseased tissue and the detection of hidden structures beneath the tissue, such as vessels. Only visual clues are available to the surgeon to control the force applied to the tissue by the instruments, which poses a risk for iatrogenic injuries. Additional information on haptic interactions of the employed instruments and the treated tissue that is provided to the surgeon during robotic surgery could compensate for this deficit. Acoustic emissions (AE) from the instrument/tissue interactions, transmitted by the instrument are a potential source of this information. AE can be recorded by audio sensors that do not have to be integrated into the instruments, but that can be modularly attached to the outside of the instruments shaft or enclosure. The location of the sensor on a robotic system is essential for the applicability of the concept in real situations. While the signal strength of the acoustic emissions decreases with distance from the point of interaction, an installation close to the patient would require sterilization measures. The aim of this work is to investigate whether it is feasible to install the audio sensor in non-sterile areas far away from the patient and still be able to receive useful AE signals. To determine whether signals can be recorded at different potential mounting locations, instrument/tissue interactions with different textures were simulated in an experimental setup. The results showed that meaningful and valuable AE can be recorded in the non-sterile area of a robotic surgical system despite the expected signal losses.

Diary as a Means for a Student to Discover a Country
Authors: Chodzkienė Loreta 
Published: February 2021

This paper aims to present a diary as a multifaceted means for incoming international students to become familiar with the host country (in this case, Lithuania), discover it through the ways of immersion and exploration, and reflect upon it on the diary pages. Every year the course of ‘Intercultural Communication’ taught at the Institute of Foreign Languages, Faculty of Philology, Vilnius University, welcomes a large number of incoming students from different parts of the world. Further to the subject syllabus, these students are given a special research task: to delve into the context of the host country, focus on a number of socio-cultural aspects, compare and contrast them to the similar ones in their native countries and reflect upon them in their diaries. The paper provides an overview of the accumulated empirical evidence on the attitudinal discoveries of 84 students representing 21 countries. The employed Interpretive content analysis proved to be a flexible and helpful research method to reveal the informants' existing cultural capital (Bourdieu 1994), to follow the flow of their interpretations consequently leading to the shifts in their attitudes, and thus, contribute to the development of the students' intercultural communicative competence. This paper sheds light on the informants’ attitudes towards Lithuania as the destination country for their Erasmus+ exchange, as well as their impressions of the academic environment of Vilnius University.

Published: February 2021

Introducción: Existen múltiples tratamientos quirúrgicos del hallux valgus. El propósito de este estudio fue comparar los resultados radiográficos de corrección angular y su mantenimiento a mediano plazo, entre dos técnicas percutáneas: MICA y Bösch.
Materiales y Métodos: Análisis prospectivo comparativo de pacientes sometidos a cirugía de hallux valgus mediante dos técnicas percutáneas (grupo Bösch: 42 pies, grupo MICA: 36 pies). Se compararon las correcciones de los ángulos IM, MTF y AMD, y el poder de corrección de ambas osteotomías y su mantenimiento a mediano plazo. Se registraron las complicaciones posoperatorias. Seguimiento mínimo: 6 meses.
Resultados: La corrección promedio de los ángulos IM, MTF y AMD fue: 20,22°; 7,74°; 8,26° a los 6 meses en el grupo Bösch; y de 15,8°; 1,6° y 1,98° en el grupo MICA. El potencial de corrección IM fue mayor en el grupo Bösch. No hubo diferencias significativas entre ambos grupos en cuanto a la pérdida de corrección entre las 6 semanas y los 6 meses, salvo el ángulo MTF en el grupo MICA. La corrección del ángulo AMD fue mejor en el tiempo con la técnica MICA. Hubo 4 complicaciones con la técnica MICA y 8 con la técnica de Bösch.
Conclusiones: Ambas técnicas logran una corrección adecuada del hallux valgus moderado. Sin embargo, el poder de corrección del ángulo IM a mediano plazo fue mayor con la técnica de Bösch. En el otro grupo, aunque se perdió la corrección del ángulo MTF entre las 6 semanas y los 6 meses, los valores semantuvieron dentro de los 20° de valgo MTF.Nivel de Evidencia: II
Shugart, M. y Taagepera, R. (2017). Votes from seats. Logical models of electoral systems. Nueva York: Cambridge University Press

Published: February 2021

La literatura sobre sistemas electorales es voluminosa, pero pocos nombres resaltan tanto en ella como los de Matthew Shugart y Rein Taagepera. En "Votes from Seats" se vislumbra la continuidad y – en parte – la culminación de décadas de estudio de los sistemas electorales por estos autores. Expanden el camino iniciado en sus obras anteriores (v.g., Taagepera y Shugart, 1989 y 1993), pero también corrigen premisas que ahora consideran equivocadas y afinan predicciones que antes no pasaban de ser sospechas, como abiertamente declaran. En el tema concreto de los sistemas electorales, su funcionamiento y sus consecuencias, el libro está en la frontera del conocimiento. Aunque sintetiza conceptos y teorías que ya conformaban el paradigma de los estudios electorales – y que no resultarán novedosos para las personas conocedoras de la literatura – , Shugart y Taagepera llevan las hipótesis a un nuevo estadio de prueba empírica, ofreciendo una mirada más robusta a los mecanismos que unen a los sistemas electorales con los sistemas de partidos

Zrod kanibala Slovákov:Verejný a súkromý život Bélu Grünwalda vo Zvolenskej župe (1867–1874)
Authors: Demmel József 
Published: February 2021

Prvá etapa verejného pôsobenia Bélu Grünwalda, obdobie pôsobenia vo funk- cii hlavného notára (1867–1871) a prvé podžupanské obdobie (1871–1874), je za- streté rovnako ako jeho mladosť. Ak však chceme pochopiť slovensko-maďarské národné konflikty po roku 1874, ktorých hlavnou postavou sa stal, musíme odkryť aj túto etapu jeho života, keďže jeho stanoviská k národnostným otázkam sa kryš- talizovali práve v týchto rokoch.The first era of Béla Grünwald’s (Szentantal, Hungary, 1839 – Courbevoie, France, 1891) public career, his life stage as notary (1867–1871) and as subcounty governor (1871–1874) in Zvolen County are almost unknown. However, if we want to understand the Slovak– Hungarian national conflicts after 1874, of which he became the main character, we must also reveal this stage of his life, as his views on national struggle crystallized in those years. Based on a note from Zvolen County dated 4 July 1867, the Minister of Culture József Eötvös removed the “Pan-Slavic” teachers from the grammar schools in Banská Bystrica. Grünwald’s biography highlights the central role of the new notary in this matter. Never- theless, this conflict did not provoke Grünwald’s struggle with the “Pan-Slavs” but was part of the power conflicts between the “Hungarian” and “Slovakian”, Catholic and Lutheran elites of Zvolen County. At the end of 1865, it was even one of the most important “battle- fields” where the local Hungarian and Slovak networks represented by Antal Radvánszkyand Štefan Moyses met.In April 1873, the first issue of the periodical Svornosť, Grünwald’s personal project, was published in Banská Bystrica. Grünwald’s primary goal was to push Slovak enthusiast periodicals from the Slovak public sphere. Therefore, after 1873, Grünwald became the number one enemy of the Slovak national movement and at the same time its target.At the end of 1873, the leader of the Slovak national movement Viliam Pauliny-Tóth published a text mocking Grünwald in the political newspaper of the Slovak national move- ment Národné noviny. Though Grünwald was represented by a pseudonym, it was easily recognizable to anyone. The attack and scandal had very serious effects not only on Grün- wald’s dislike of the Slovaks but also of his entire life. Pauliny-Tóth exposed Grünwald’s private life and love affairs to the public, destroying Grünwald’s social prestige down to the ground. Grünwald gave a political response to the attack: not long after, he managed to get the Hungarian government to close the three Slovak grammar schools and the Matica slovenská.
К вопросу о страдательном залоге в языках, распространенных на берегу Балтийского моря, с акцентом на севернорусском диалекте
Authors: Орос Арпад 
Published: February 2021

The two characteristics of the passive voice found in the North Russian dialect and in other Circum-Baltic languages, the accusative case of the patient or theme as an argument of a verb with passive morphology and intransitive verbs passivized raise a number of related questions. The author of the present paper explores the issues under discussion from an areal-historical perspective, concluding that the aforementioned languages have a tendency for the agent to be the same element as the subject and the patient or theme to be the same element as the (direct) object of the sentence. In the North Russian dialect, we can see an example where the above fact holds true irrespective of whether the verb has an active or a passive morphology as the theme of the sentence assumes the accusative case regardless of whether it is an argument of a verb in the active or in the passive voice.The question as to what lexical elements can function as subjects is itself interesting. Moreover, there seems to be a correlation between what level of abstraction the syntactic category of subject has reached in a language and the existence of a pure passive mean- ing. The less abstract the category of subject is, as in case of Circum-Baltic languages, the farther structures with a passive morphology seem to be from a pure passive meaning. In languages such as English, however, where virtually any noun can function as a subject, there seems to be a pure passive meaning and there is only one morphological way of form- ing passive sentences.The nature of linguistic similarities found in genetically less related languages spoken in the same area has been given a number of varied accounts. The most salient of them ap- pears to be B. Drinka’s explanation based on the influence of Western European languages on ones spoken in the East of the area where once the Hanseatic League existed in the middle ages and I. Seržant’s theory concerning the foregrounding of the agent as passive structures with a stative interpretation gradually assumed a dynamic one.In fact, participles in the North Russian dialect ending in -n / -t can express a dynam- ic, that is, eventive interpretation with a perfect meaning and can even co-occur with the -sja / -s’ postfix, the latter phenomenon being absolutely unimaginable in Standard Russian, where the two affixes are in complementary distribution. The author assumes that the topic should be studied from the perspective of sociology and cultural anthropology as well since linguistic similarities and differences often reflect similarities and differences in thinking beyond the realm of linguistics.
Tipo de cambio y su relación con la informalidad laboral en la zona de frontera Tulcán - Ipiales
Authors: Miranda Realpe Jorge Humberto , Viveros Almeida Luis Homero 
Published: February 2021

El artículo tiene como objetivo establecer qué variables de la informalidad laboral se relacionan con el tipo de cambio del Cantón Tulcán en la Provincia del Carchi (Ecuador) y del Municipio de Ipiales en el Departamento de Nariño (Colombia). El enfoque utilizado fue el cuantitativo de tipo descriptivo correlacional y de corte transversal. Se procedió a trabajar con datos secundarios de varias fuentes oficiales y con estimaciones derivadas de un estudio de campo en los sectores de investigación. Entre las fuentes utilizadas están las publicaciones del Banco Central de Ecuador, Banco de la República en Colombia, el Banco Mundial e informes de rendiciones de cuentas del Gobierno Municipal de Tulcán, entre otros. Se llegó a determinar que la informalidad laboral en el sector comercial de Tulcán, no se relaciona con el tipo de cambio promedio Peso colombiano – Dólar americano (COP-USD), así como tampoco con el gasto de inversión del GAD municipal ni tampoco con el Valor Agregado Bruto (VAB) comercial. También se encontró una relación positiva entre el tipo de cambio COP-USD y el VAB comercial de Ipiales, por lo cual las apreciaciones del dólar americano reflejarían un aumento del aporte económico del VAB.
La medición del bienestar subjetivo en los hogares de Bogotá y Cundinamarca
Authors: Jurado Rodriguez Yashir , Sánchez de La Rosa Andrés Ricardo 
Published: February 2021

El trabajo investigativo tuvo como objetivo analizar la posible correlación entre la conformación de los hogares bogotanos y cundinamarqueses frente a la percepción subjetiva del bienestar en la Encuesta Multipropósito (EM 2017), efectuada por el Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadística (DANE, 2017). En el ámbito metodológico, se aplicó como herramienta de manejo de la información, el modelo de Regresión Lineal Múltiple Jerárquica (RLMJ). Como unidad de análisis se tomó el dato de los hogares en la EM 2017, asumiendo como variables el bienestar subjetivo y la estructura del hogar, para verificar si se lograba recolectar suficiente evidencia respecto de la influencia de la estructura del hogar en la percepción del bienestar subjetivo para comprobar la hipótesis alternativa. Una vez aplicado el modelo de RLMJ, se verificó que no hay relación entre las variables, por lo cual se procedió a aplicar el chi cuadrado mediante tablas cruzadas. Se pudo inferir que no existe relación entre el bienestar subjetivo y la estructura de los hogares bogotanos y de los municipios de Cundinamarca en la EM 2017, lo cual devela la necesidad de incluir la calidad de vida familiar y variables subjetivas mediante una prueba psicométrica que permita resolver el problema de medida del bienestar subjetivo desde una óptica de multiplicidad, por lo que se requiere el diseño de un instrumento especial.
Competing Norms on the Confiscation of Property in the Criminal and Criminal Procedure Legislation of the Republic of Belarus and of the Russian Federation
Authors: Lukashov Alexey , Sheveleva Svetlana 
Published: February 2021

The confiscation of property is a conventional measure of criminal law impact, therefore, it is included in different normative interpretations of all European states. The legal regulation of the confiscation of property changed in Belarus on July 19, 2019, when it was excluded from the system of punishments and ceased to be applied as a measure of additional punishment. The legislation preserved special confiscation of property acquired as a result of a crime or connected with committing a crime; at the same time, the scope of its application was broadened to include cases of exemption from criminal liability. Special confiscation is determined as a compulsory measure of criminal law character, and not a criminal law measure. A measure that is similar in its content — the confiscation of property — has been in force in Russia since 2006. The authors of the article describe the dual nature of confiscation provided for in the norms of the Criminal Codes and the Criminal Procedure Codes of both countries, as well as the legal ambiguity of these norms. They analyze the legal positions of the Constitutional and the Supreme Courts of Belarus and Russia on the problem of the correlation and application of competing criminal law and criminal procedure norms on confiscations, as well as the court practice of their application, which is contradictory and lacking in uniformity. They recommend how the above-mentioned norms of the Criminal and the Criminal Procedure Codes of Belarus and Russia could be amended. The authors also identify the positive and negative sides of normative regulation of confiscation in both countries and show how Russia and the Republic of Belarus could draw on the positive experience of one another: they give a positive assessment to the absence of a link between special confiscation of property and concrete articles of the Special Part of criminal legislation, as well as to the possibility of using the analyzed measure in cases of exemption from criminal liability without exoneration in Belarus law; Russian law poses a good example of regulating the possibility of seizing not only the property to be confiscated, but also money and other property whose value is proportionate to the value of the property to be confiscated in cases of its absence. It is proven that only the norms of criminal law could act as grounds for the confiscation of property in the Russian Federation (special confiscation in the Republic of Belarus). Criminal procedure norms should just regulate the procedure of applying the norms of criminal law on the confiscation of property (special confiscation).
