BACKGROUND:
Surgical care is essential to improving population health, but metrics to monitor and evaluate the continuum of surgical care delivery have rarely been applied in low-resource settings, and improved efforts at benchmarking progress are needed. The objective of this study was to measure the intraoperative mortality at a Central Referral Hospital in Malawi, evaluate whether there have been changes in intraoperative mortality between 2 time periods, and assess factors associated with intraoperative mortality.

METHODS:
This was a retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing surgery at Kamuzu Central Hospital in Lilongwe, Malawi. Data describing daily consecutive operative cases were collected prospectively during 2 time periods: 2004–2006 (early cohort) and 2015–2016 (late cohort). The primary outcome was intraoperative mortality. Inverse probability of treatment weighting was used to analyze the association of intraoperative mortality with time using logistic regression models. Multivariable logistic models were performed to evaluate factors associated with intraoperative mortality.

RESULTS:
There were 21,090 surgeries performed during the 2 time periods, with 15,846 (75%) and 5244 (25%) completed from 2004 to 2006 and 2015 to 2016, respectively. Intraoperative mortality in the early cohort was 57 deaths per 100,000 surgeries (95% confidence interval [CI], 26–108) and in the late cohort was 133 per 100,000 surgeries (95% CI, 56–286), with 76 per 100,000 surgeries (95% CI, 44–124) overall. After applying inverse probability of treatment weighting, there was no evidence of an association between time periods and intraoperative mortality (odds ratio [OR], 1.6; 95% CI, 0.9–2.8; P = .08). Factors associated with intraoperative mortality, adjusting for demographics, included American Society of Anesthesiology physical status III or IV versus I or II (OR, 4.4; 95% CI, 1.5–12.5; P = .006) and emergency versus elective surgery (OR, 7.7; 95% CI, 2.5–23.6; P < .001).

CONCLUSIONS:
Intraoperative mortality in the study hospital in Malawi is high and has not improved over time. These data demonstrate an urgent need to improve the safety and quality of perioperative care in developing countries and integrate perioperative care into global health efforts.

Background: In response to a Grand Challenges in Global Health call for action to collect data about family planning intentions and increase the uptake of family planning methods in India, our team designed, developed, and piloted the My Future Family video game in Karnataka Province. The game educates adolescents about human sexuality and reproduction while asking players when they would like to achieve five important family planning milestones. Participants were also asked to report who influences them the most when making family planning decisions. Methods: Focus groups were conducted and the resulting data used to design the game which was iteratively tested and then piloted in 11 schools in rural and urban areas of southern India. Data was collected throughout gameplay and cross-checked with paper questionnaires. Results: In August 2017, we successfully piloted the game with 382 adolescents and validated its efficacy both as an educational tool and as an innovative means of accurate data collection. Conclusion: It has historically been problematic to gather accurate data about adolescents in India on this culturally sensitive topic for a variety of reasons. These include difficulties obtaining consent, developing appropriate survey methods, and framing questions in language that young people can understand. Our game met these challenges by working within a single school system with approval from senior administration, delivering information via a game environment which freed players from societal constraints, and communicating information via images and audio in addition to text in both English and Kannada (the local language).

A change in the characteristics of the traditional budget to budget performance requires legislators to understand the changes. This causes the function of members of parlement to be very important in the process of preparation, approval, and oversight the budget. Independent variable are knowledge of local legislators about the budget. Dependent variable is local financial control. Moderating variable are public participation and public policy transparancy.Respondents in this study are legislative assembly at regency and city of Bima, Nusa Tenggara Barat Province. The data was collected by the survey. Data analysis techniques using simple linear regression and using moderated regression analysis. The result of this study indicated that first, knowledge of the legislators about the budget have effect to the local financial control. Second, public participation able to moderate the effect of participation in knowledge of legislators about the budget to the local financial control. Third, the transparency of public policy able to moderate the effect of knowledge of legislators about the budget to the local financial control.

According to the law number 28 year 2009 on local taxes and levies, building and land tax is 5 types namely P2 and P3. PBB P2 is the rural and urban areas, PBB P3 is the agricultural sector, fisheries, and mining. PBB P2 central tax formerly be transferred to local taxes. The regulation is effective from the beginning of 2014. Several regions had already been made since the transitional PBB P2 2012. One of the regions that conducted the transfer is in Yogyakarta. The purpose of this research was to study, analyze and concluded about potential of tax in Kabupaten Gunungkidul PBB P2 in 2014 and about the contribution of the PBB P2 in Kabupaten Gunungkidul last year until the year 2014. Based on calculations on the results of potential PBB P2 2104 year, the determination of the target and the realization of tax revenue PBB P2 in 2014 is far from the existing potential. A comparison of potential PBB P2 and the target of PBB P2 is 24,49 %, it means the determination of the target of PBB P2 is far from the existing potential. A comparison of the potential and the PBB P2 is 21,06 percent, it means the realization of tax revenue PBB P2 is far from the existing potential. In accordance with the results of the calculation of the potential research Abdullah (2012) said that when the budget income, the head of units tend to determine the target under the potential income actually. The calculation on the contribution indicate the percentage of PBB P2 in Kabupaten Gunungkidul from 2011 up to 2013 has been steadily declining. It means the role of PBB P2 or other contributions to the local revenue starting the year 2011 up to 2013 the less. This is because the realization of local revenue in Kabupaten Gunungkidul from 2011 until 2013 also rose, so as to cause the contribution of PBB P2 to local government revenue decline, although the realization of tax revenue PBB P2 increase from year 2011 up to 2013 .
The contest of queerbaiting: Negotiating authenticity in fan–creator interactions
Authors: McDermott Michael 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
Queerbaiting emerged as a named phenomenon through fan communities challenging the purportedly intentional exploitation of their queer sensibilities and desires. Analysing how this dynamic is staged through fan–creator interactions is paramount to understanding queerbaiting. I suggest that ownership over and claim of a single, authentic textual meaning and story is at the heart of the contest of queerbaiting. I employ fans and creators of the television shows Supernatural and Teen Wolf as case studies and analyse their interactions in online videos of fan conventions. I argue that the authenticity and commitment to a supposedly singular meaning is negotiated in these interactions through the humorous sexualization of the actors and characters. My central argument is that fan–creator contestations demonstrate that accusations of queerbaiting ultimately rely on notions of authorial intention and control.
‘Smile, Derek. Why don’t you smile more?’: The objectification of Derek Hale and queerbaiting in MTV’s Teen Wolf
Authors: Elliott Jaquelin , Fowler Megan 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
Holding in mind Barbara Creed’s assertion that the werewolf is a ‘feminized male monster, a queer creature aligned to the primal uncanny’, this article explores gender trouble and queerbaiting in MTV’s Teen Wolf – a series infamous in online fan circles for baiting fan favourite pairing Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski (dubbed ‘Sterek’ by fans) while largely failing to fulfil its promises of dynamic, three-dimensional LGBTQ representation. This article enumerates the queer cues embedded in Stiles and Derek’s narratives, paying special attention to Stiles’ implied bisexuality and Derek’s constant objectification by the camera, repeated sexual victimization, and the often queered repositioning of his body into the role of ‘damsel in distress’. By doing so, this article attempts to contextualize Teen Wolf fans’ reasons for shipping Sterek and will argue that this queer reading is indeed not a ‘willful misreading’, but one drawing upon a complex web of queer affect and queerbaiting in the show. This article will also examine the ways in which fans use both fan works and social media not only to explore readings of Derek and Stiles as queer and fight back against queerbaiting, but also to articulate the reparative potential of a consensual relationship with Stiles for Derek’s healing from his repeated trauma.
Controlling stereocomplexation, heat resistance and mechanical properties of stereocomplex polylactide films by using mixtures of low and high molecular weight poly(D-lactide)s
Authors: Srisuwan Yaowalak , Baimark Yodthong 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
Stereocomplex polylactide (scPLA) films were prepared by blending poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and poly(D-lactide) (PDLA) solutions before solvent evaporation. The PLLA/PDLA ratios were 80/20 and 60/40 (w/w). PDLAs with low and high molecular weights (M.W.) were used as PDLA mixtures. The scPLA films with different low/high M.W. PDLA ratios were investigated for both the 80/20 and 60/40 (w/w) scPLA film series. Stereocomplexation, heat resistance and the mechanical properties of the scPLA films were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and tensile testing, respectively. The results indicated that low M.W. PDLA can enhance the stereocomplexation and heat resistance of scPLA films while the high M.W. PDLA can improve tensile properties of scPLA films. It was concluded that the stereocomplexation, heat resistance and tensile properties of scPLA films could be controlled by adjusting the low/high M.W. PDLA ratio in PDLA fraction.
Design of a Compact High Gain Microstrip Patch Antenna for Tri-Band 5 G Wireless Communication
Authors: Abdelaziz Ahmed , Hamad Ehab K. I. 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
In this paper, a Tri-band microstrip-line-fed low profile microstrip patch antenna is proposed for future multi-band 5 G wireless communication applications. The proposed antenna is printed on a compact Rogers RT5880 substrate of dimensions 20×16.5×0.508 mm3 with relative permittivity, εr of 2.2 and loss tangent, tan δ of 0.0009. To improve return loss and bandwidth of the proposed antenna, a partial ground plane technique is employed. The proposed antenna operates at 10, 28, and 38 GHz, three of the selected frequencies which are allocated by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) for 5 G mobile communications. To reduce interference between the 5 G system and other systems in the band, a pair of T-shaped slots is etched in the radiating patch to reject unwanted frequency bands. The proposed design provides a gain of 5.67 dB at 10 GHz, 9.33 dB at 28 GHz and 9.57 dB at 38 GHz; the radiation pattern is mostly directional. The proposed antenna is designed and optimized using two commercial 3D full-wave software, viz. CST microwave studio and Ansoft HFSS. A prototype of the designed antenna that was fabricated and showed good agreement between the actual measurements of S11 & VSWR and the simulation results using both software.
„Wär’ schön, wenn sie’s schaffen würde!“

AbstractThis article is based on the KMP (Kestenberg Movement Profile) for assessment of child development and movement behavior. I investigate characteristic movement patterns in a videotaped child psychoanalytic session. How do therapist and child move together? Since the KMP is commonly applied in dance therapy to evaluate movement skills and give support to development process, I will propose some suggestions for alternative modes of moving and encourage the building up of a new dialogue through action modification.
„Kontakthof“ – Rhythmus und Bewegungsinteraktion bei Pina Bausch
Authors: Brandstetter Gabriele 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
The aim of this essay is to investigate “moments of meeting” (Stern 2005) and rhythms of interruption in Pina Bausch’s piece “Kontakthof” (i.e., the version “Kontakthof with Ladies and Gentlemen over »65«”, 2007). Combining the perspective of microanalysis and a close reading of two significant scenes of the piece with a macroanalysis of dance aesthetics and questions of framing in theatre theory, contextualising “Kontakthof” within the history of “Tanztheater” (the 70s/80s in post-war Germany), the article shows how the composition and bodily articulation of movement interactions are constituted between the dancers and the audience. The “Ponyriding” scene is based on rhythms of transgression touching the boundaries both between male and female dancers and between performers and audience. A close reading of the “Tango-Scene” shows how the rhythms of moving together and the disbalances between interruption in the movements and gestures of a “tango” can be compared with performative processes of turn-taking in language interaction.
From Carlyle’s Hero to Conrad’s Depraved: Hermeneutics of Morbidity in Heart of Darkness
Authors: Oyarzun Eduardo Valls 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
The author of this paper lays out a system of hermeneutics based on the idea of morbidity aimed at checking the commitment (or the lack thereof) of individual subjects to Victorian ethics. The system stems from Thomas Carlyle’s political agenda based on his concept of “hero worship”. The system is then deployed in order to probe into the purported morbidity of Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness. According to the author of this paper, the character of Marlow represents a curious mixture of the heroic archetype proposed by Carlyle, combined with new critical standpoints from other philosophical programmes (specifically Nietzsche’s) proposed at the end of the nineteenth century. Firstly, the author of this paper tackles the prototype of the hero (a sort of medium between reality and Divine Truth) Thomas Carlyle posited in his On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History (1841). The author of this paper then describes how Marlow shares some of the hero’s features (most notably social responsibility and work ethic), but fails to embody the main trait of Carlyle’s “great men”, namely, their ability to recognize Divine Truth. Indeed, rather than asserting the existence of the Truth, Marlow’s narrative reveals the existence of multiple truths, thus creating a sort of politically morbid revision of Carlyle’s formula.
The Fictional Avatars of Mrs W: The Influence of the Adoptive Mother and the Birth of Jeanette Winterson as a Writer
Authors: Walezak Emilie 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
Throughout her writing career, Jeanette Winterson has experimented with her life experience, revisiting in particular the complex relationship with her adoptive mother, Mrs W, in such works as Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit (1985), Sexing the Cherry (1989), and Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal (2011). This article examines the complex mother-daughter relationship between Jeanette and Mrs W to illustrate the birth of a feminist writer. In answer to her mother’s confiscation of her birth narrative, Jeanette Winterson has fictionalized Mrs W to alter traditional narrative paradigms she deemed repressive. The process has allowed the daughter to open up an enunciative space for herself through performative utterances: “I’m telling you stories. Trust me.” Finally, the parallel drawn between Mrs Winterson and Mrs Thatcher in the former’s fictional avatars highlights specifically the personal political itinerary of the feminist writer.
The Ideologies of War and Social Class inAtonement: A Critical Stylistic Analysis
Authors: Abdel-Moety Doha Mahmoud 
Published: September 2018

AbstractThe present study is concerned with the representation of ideologies in fiction. It attempts an analysis of Ian McEwan’s novelAtonementand aims at revealing the ideologies of war and social class by analysing textual conceptual functions. It applies a critical stylistic analysis based on Jeffries’s (2010) framework. The study addresses the following questions:How are the concepts of war and social class presented in the novel?Which categories are used to introduce war and social class in the novel? What is the linguistic realization of the categories selected?What doesAtonementreveal about British society and the period during which the events took place?To what extent are McEwan’s ideologies reflected in the novel?The results of the study show that war and social class constitute an important part in the novel. There are references to them from the very beginning of the novel. They are presented ideologically through the categories of naming and describing, negating, representing actions/events/states, prioritizing, hypothesizing, implying and assuming, presenting others’ speech and thoughts, and representing time, space and society. These categories employed specific linguistic realizations that helped the author achieve his purpose and influence readers. The results also reveal the wayAtonementportrays the circumstances of British society before, during, and after the Second World War. Moreover, they indicate the existence of historically accurate information related to war. Finally, the results demonstrate that the representations of war and social class inAtonementare ideologically loaded. These representations reflect McEwan’s own attitude toward history, war, and social class.
Digitale Herausforderungen für das Kartellrecht

Zusammenfassung
Seit etwa zwei Jahrzehnten erleben wir weltweit eine mit dem Begriff der Digitalisierung beschriebene Revolution der Informationsverarbeitung. Diese Revolution durchdringt alle Lebensbereiche und hat zu einem tiefgreifenden gesellschaftlichen, politischen und wirtschaftlichen Wandel geführt, dessen Bedeutung nicht überschätzt werden kann. Grundlegende technische Voraussetzungen für den digitalen Wandel sind einerseits die Entwicklung und ubiquitäre Verfügbarkeit des Computers und anderer digitaler Geräte wie etwa Tablets oder Smartphones sowie andererseits die Entstehung des Internets 1991 und seine immer umfassendere Nutzung. Die Bedeutung der digitalen Informationsverarbeitung kommt in Schlagworten wie „Web 2.0“, „Industrie 4.0“, „Big Data“, „Sharing Economy“ und „Internet der Dinge“ zum Ausdruck. Die Digitalisierung hat auch zu weitreichenden wirtschaftlichen Veränderungen geführt, indem sie digitale Produkte wie etwa Betriebssysteme und Anwendungsprogramme für Computer, soziale Netzwerke wie Facebook oder LinkedIn, Messenger-Dienste wie WhatsApp und viele andere mehr – hervorgebracht hat. Daneben werden heute aber auch nicht-digitale Waren und Dienstleistungen in großem Umfang über das Internet vertrieben. Die Herstellung und der Vertrieb digitaler Produkte sowie der Internetvertrieb von sonstigen Waren und Dienstleistungen lassen sich unter dem Begriff der „digitalen Märkte“ fassen. Die Art und Weise, wie digitale Erzeugnisse hergestellt und über das Internet vertrieben werden, hat die Austauschbeziehungen auf den betreffenden Märkten und auch die dort herrschenden Wettbewerbsbedingungen erheblich verändert. Aus diesen Veränderungen ergeben sich Herausforderungen für das Kartellrecht, denen in diesem Beitrag nachgegangen werden soll.

OBJECTIVE:
We aimed to evaluate the long-term outcome of resective epilepsy surgery in patients with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS).

METHODS:
We reviewed the case reports of 90 patients with LGS who had undergone resective surgery between 2003 and 2014 at the Severance Children’s Hospital and managed them for a minimum period of 2 years.

RESULTS:
At the time of surgery, the patients were between 3.0 and 23.5 years old (mean ± SD: 9.3 ± 4.4). The time from seizure onset to surgery ranged from 0.7 to 20.1 years (7.2 ± 4.3). On postoperative follow-up for an average period of 6.1 ± 2.2 years (range: 2.1–11.4 years), 45 patients (50.0%) had no seizures, and 15 (16.7%) reported infrequent seizures. Seizure-free outcomes were achieved in 15 of the 21 (71.4%) hemispherectomies, 23 of the 51 (45.1%) multilobar resections, and 7 of the 18 (38.9%) single lobar resections. On high-resolution MRIs, 20 patients (22.2%) had negative findings, 8 of whom (40.0%) became seizure-free after resective surgery. Malformation of cortical development was the most common pathologic finding and was noted in 57 patients (63.3%). Seizure-free patients achieved better adaptive behavior and social competence than did patients with persistent seizures at the second (2–3 years after surgery) and third (4–6 years after surgery) follow-ups, as indicated by social quotients (P &lt; .05).

CONCLUSIONS:
Resective surgery is a viable option in some patients to treat seizures that are associated with LGS, with a high probability of seizure control and better adaptive function.
