Authors: Gumus Fatih , Saricaoglu Mehmet Cahit 
Published: July 2019

Objectives Previous studies have mostly focused on the left-sided cardiovascular changes, but right-sided cardiac changes and predictive factors have not been examined in advance following arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation. We aimed to identify new parameters which contribute to the prediction of right heart failure (RHF) after AVF creation. Methods The study cohort comprised 81 patients who underwent AVF creation between January 2014 and April 2019 in our center. The study cohort was divided into the patients with RHF ( n = 15, 18.5%) and without RHF ( n = 66, 72.5%) following AVF creation. Results Mean age of cohort was 49.9 ± 14.7 years (range 23–66) and 39 (48.1%) were men. Approximately 74.07% (60 patients) were in New York Heart Association Class II and III profile preoperatively. Independent predictors for RHF following AVF were right ventricle longitudinal strain (RVLS) free wall <-19% [odds ratio (OR) 2.31, 95% CI 1.02–3.22], and tricuspid regurgitation jet velocity (TRJV) >2.5 m/s [odds ratio (OR) 5.68, 95% CI 1.21–4.38]. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed with a resulting area under the curve value of 0.86 (95% CI 0.55–0.89, p = 0.004) for RVLS free wall <-14.2% and 0.81 for TRJV >2.61 m/s (95% CI 0.55–0.89, p = 0.005) in predicting RHF following AVF. Conclusions RVLS free wall <-14.2% and TRJV >2.61 m/s were independent predictors of RHF following AVF creation. The patients at risk for having RHF following AVF creation or who may benefit from AVF should be identified with predictive parameters and prospective clinical studies.

Background: The safety of hyaluronan intra-articular injections is mostly based on animal studies and clinical evidence rather than histologic studies from human administration. Objective: This study analyzed the histologic effects of viscosupplementation with sodium hyaluronate on the synovium and articular cartilage of human knee specimen status post total knee arthroplasty within 3 years of viscosupplementation. Methods: Twenty-four specimens from total knee arthroplasties from April 2012 to August 2016 at NYU Winthrop Hospital were selected for microscopic analysis. All cases had a diagnosis of end-stage osteoarthritis at the time of surgery. Thirteen of the cases had 3 viscosupplementation injections of the knee with Euflexxa, a hyaluronate-based viscosupplementation agent, within 3 years preceding a total knee replacement. The remaining 11 did not receive viscosupplementation and were incorporated as controls. Upon histologic review, synovium was categorized by degree of hyperplasia and inflammation and the presence or absence of foreign material and giant cell reactions. Residual articular cartilage was categorized by staining intensity, and the presence or absence of crystals, foreign material, and giant cell reactions. Results: No significant difference was found between these groups for degree of synovial hyperplasia ( P = .33) or for cartilage staining density ( P = .42). None of the samples displayed evidence of foreign material, crystals, or giant cell reactions. Conclusion: In this cohort of patients, we demonstrated that Euflexxa was administered without any discernible microscopic adverse tissue effects.
A randomized controlled trial of tibial component migration with kinematic alignment using patient-specific instrumentation versus mechanical alignment using computer-assisted surgery in total knee arthroplasty
Authors: Laende E. K. , Richardson C. G. , Dunbar M. J. 
Published: July 2019

Aims Patient-specific instrumentation of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a technique permitting the targeting of individual kinematic alignment, but deviation from a neutral mechanical axis may have implications on implant fixation and therefore survivorship. The primary objective of this randomized controlled study was to compare the fixation of tibial components implanted with patient-specific instrumentation targeting kinematic alignment (KA+PSI) versus components placed using computer-assisted surgery targeting neutral mechanical alignment (MA+CAS). Tibial component migration measured by radiostereometric analysis was the primary outcome measure (compared longitudinally between groups and to published acceptable thresholds). Secondary outcome measures were inducible displacement after one year and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMS) over two years. The secondary objective was to assess the relationship between alignment and both tibial component migration and inducible displacement. Patients and Methods A total of 47 patients due to undergo TKA were randomized to KA+PSI (n = 24) or MA+CAS (n = 23). In the KA+PSI group, there were 16 female and eight male patients with a mean age of 64 years (sd 8). In the MA+CAS group, there were 17 female and six male patients with a mean age of 63 years (sd 7). Surgery was performed using cemented, cruciate-retaining Triathlon total knees with patellar resurfacing, and patients were followed up for two years. The effect of alignment on tibial component migration and inducible displacement was analyzed irrespective of study group. Results There was no difference over two years in longitudinal migration of the tibial component between the KA+PSI and MA+CAS groups (reaching median maximum total point motion migration at two years of 0.40 mm for the KA+PSI group and 0.37 mm for the MA+CAS group, p = 0.82; p = 0.68 adjusted for age, sex, and body mass index (BMI) for all follow-ups). Both groups had mean migrations below acceptable thresholds. There was no difference in inducible displacement (p = 0.34) or PROMS (p = 0.61 for the Oxford Knee Score) between groups. There was no correlation between alignment and tibial component migration or alignment and inducible displacement. These findings support non-neutral alignment as a viable option with this component, with no evidence that it compromises fixation. Conclusion Kinematic alignment using patient-specific instrumentation in TKA was associated with acceptable tibial component migration, indicating stable fixation. These results are supportive of future investigations of kinematic alignment. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2019;101-B:929–940.
Routine fixation of displaced midshaft clavicle fractures is not cost-effective

Published: July 2019

AimsThe primary aim of this study was to establish the cost-effectiveness of the early fixation of displaced midshaft clavicle fractures.Patients and MethodsA cost analysis was conducted within a randomized controlled trial comparing conservative management (n = 92) versus early plate fixation (n = 86) of displaced midshaft clavicular fractures. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was used to express the cost per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY). The Six-Dimension Short-Form Health Survey (SF-6D) score was used as the preference-based health index to calculate the cost per QALY at 12 months after the injury.ResultsThe mean 12-month SF-6D was 0.9522 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.9355 to 0.9689) following conservative management and 0.9607 (95% CI 0.9447 to 0.9767) following fixation, giving an advantage for fixation of 0.0085, which was not statistically significant (p = 0.46). The mean cost per patient was £1322.69 for conservative management and £5405.32 for early fixation. This gave an ICER of £480 309.41 per QALY. For a threshold of £20 000 per QALY, the benefit of fixation would need to be present for 24 years to be cost-effective compared with conservative treatment. Linear regression analysis identified nonunion as the only factor to adversely influence the SF-6D at 12 months (p < 0.001).ConclusionRoutine plate fixation of displaced midshaft clavicular fractures is not cost-effective. Nonunion following conservative management has an increased morbidity with comparable expense to early fixation. This may suggest that a targeted approach of fixation in patients who are at higher risk of nonunion would be more cost-effective than the routine fixation of all displaced fractures.

Published: July 2019

AimsType IIIB open tibial fractures are devastating high-energy injuries. At initial debridement, the surgeon will often be faced with large bone fragments with tenuous, if any, soft-tissue attachments. Conventionally these are discarded to avoid infection. We aimed to determine if orthoplastic reconstruction using mechanically relevant devitalized bone (ORDB) was associated with an increased infection rate in type IIIB open tibial shaft fractures.Patient and MethodsThis was a consecutive cohort study of 113 patients, who had sustained type IIIB fractures of the tibia following blunt trauma, over a four-year period in a level 1 trauma centre. The median age was 44.3 years (interquartile range (IQR) 28.1 to 65.9) with a median follow-up of 1.7 years (IQR 1.2 to 2.1). There were 73 male patients and 40 female patients. The primary outcome measures were deep infection rate and number of operations. The secondary outcomes were nonunion and flap failure.ResultsIn all, 44 patients had ORDB as part of their reconstruction, with the remaining 69 not requiring it. Eight out of 113 patients (7.1%) developed a deep infection (ORDB 1/44, non-ORDB 7/69). The median number of operations was two. A total of 16/242 complication-related reoperations were undertaken (6.6%), with 2/16 (12.5%) occurring in the ORDB group.ConclusionIn the setting of an effective orthoplastic approach to type IIIB open diaphyseal tibial fractures, using mechanically relevant debrided devitalized bone fragments in the definitive reconstruction appears to be safe.

Diversity is a reality for the Indonesian nation, one form of diversity, namely religion. Religion is a guide from the creator of how humans can live in differences so as to create an orderly and harmonious life. However, the phenomenon that occurs is just the opposite where religion in fact makes someone to claim the truth of each religion. This certainly becomes a serious conflict for the Indonesian people considering that Indonesia is a plural country and should have an understanding of tolerance. Actually tolerance is not just a concept that must be understood but must be realized in attitudes and behaviors so that a harmony between religious people will be realized. Amid the current global developments, technological sophistication cannot be dammed so that people can easily receive information. Responding to this phenomenon if we especially as youths who basically have an important role in building inter-religious harmony cannot properly take advantage of the existence of social media, it will easily accept and even spread hoax issues, the impact of this will certainly damage the relationship between harmony religious people should be as young people as filtering and wise in the use of social media. Through social media, we as young people can do positive things as well, pour creative ideas to channel talents that we have such as making writings or images so that they can be enjoyed by others, communicating with distant friends or adding friends by joining a social group that later will add insight and foster harmony among others Keywords: Social Media, Harmony, YIPC

AbstractConsider the boundary blow-up Monge-Ampère problem$$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle M[u]=K(x)f(u) \mbox{ for } x \in {\it\Omega},\; u(x)\rightarrow +\infty \mbox{ as } {\rm dist}(x,\partial {\it\Omega})\rightarrow 0. \end{array}$$HereM[u] = det (uxixj) is the Monge-Ampère operator, andΩis a smooth, bounded, strictly convex domain in ℝN(N≥ 2). UnderK(x) satisfying appropriate conditions, we first prove that the boundary blow-up Monge-Ampère problem has a strictly convex solution if and only iffsatisfies Keller-Osserman type condition. Then the asymptotic behavior of strictly convex solutions to the boundary blow-up Monge-Ampère problem is considered under weaker condition with respect to previous references. Finally, iffdoes not satisfy Keller-Osserman type condition, we show the existence of strictly convex solutions under different conditions onK(x). The proof combines standard techniques based upon the sub-supersolution method with non-standard arguments, such as the Karamata regular variation theory.
Flachheitsbasierte algebraische Fehlerdiagnose für einen Euler-Bernoulli-Balken mittels Modulationsfunktionen
Authors: Fischer Ferdinand , Deutscher Joachim 
Published: July 2019

Zusammenfassung
Zur Fehlerdiagnose für verteilt-parametrische Systeme (SVP) wird eine neue Methode vorgestellt, die keine Systemapproximation erfordert. Die Anwendung von Integraltransformationen auf das SVP ermöglicht das Aufstellen einer Eingangs-Ausgangs-Beziehung, aus der sich ein algebraischer Ausdruck für den Fehler herleiten lässt. Um die Fehlerdiagnose unabhängig von den Störungen und unbekannten Zuständen zu machen, wird die Bestimmung der als Modulationsfunktion bezeichneten Integralkerne auf die Realisierung eines Arbeitspunktwechsels für ein SVP zurückgeführt. Aufgrund der Flachheit dieses SVP können die zugehörige Trajektorienplanung und der Steuerungsentwurf systematisch mit flachheitsbasierten Methoden erfolgen. Damit stellt der Beitrag erstmalig einen neuen Zusammenhang zwischen der Fehlerdiagnose für SVP und der Flachheitseigenschaft her. Die neue Diagnosemethode wird im Beitrag auf einen Euler-Bernoulli-Balken mit polynomialen sowie beschränkten Störungen zur Detektion von Aktorfehlern angewendet und in Simulationen validiert.
From Eu-phoria to Eu-phobia? Changing Turkish Narratives in Eu–Turkey Relations
Authors: Yılmaz Gözde 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Since the 1999 launch of EU candidate country status, EU–Turkey relations have reached a new level of closer engagement. Across time, the relations demonstrate different levels of engagement and, accordingly, different narratives. Regarding the Turkish narratives of the EU, the EU is framed across time as follows: EU as a democratic anchor; EU as a disappointment; EU as an untrustworthy entity; EU as an enemy. As seen, Turkish narratives demonstrate a trend from EU-phoria to EU-phobia. In the end, it is important that EU–Turkey relations and Turkish narratives on the EU are not immune to domestic developments, especially those shaped by populist politics in the last two decades.
G2-metrics arising from non-integrable special Lagrangian fibrations
Authors: Chihara Ryohei 
Published: July 2019

AbstractWe study special Lagrangian fibrations of SU(3)-manifolds, not necessarily torsion-free. In the case where the fiber is a unimodular Lie group G, we decompose such SU(3)-structures into triples of solder 1-forms, connection 1-forms and equivariant 3 × 3 positive-definite symmetric matrix-valued functions on principal G-bundles over 3-manifolds. As applications, we describe regular parts of G2-manifolds that admit Lagrangian-type 3-dimensional group actions by constrained dynamical systems on the spaces of the triples in the cases of G = T3 and SO(3).
The Atmospheric Whereby: Reflections on Subject and Object
Authors: Rauh Andreas 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Atmospheres constitute an ordinary perceptual phenomenon that can become a new experience, as the former are more than the sum of single-sensory perceptual factors. Drawing on the terminological pair ‘subject’ and ‘object’ and its interdependencies, the atmospheric phenomenon can be approached in an essayistic fashion (and by means of applying an aesthetic focus in the broadest sense). In so doing, it becomes clear that the atmosphere serves as a condition for the emergence as well as actualization of special perception. Based on Gernot Böhme’s research and further studies, specific (ontological) determinants are identified and differentiated according to the definitional facets of the ‘and’, the ‘in-between’ and the ‘whereby’ or ‘in what way’. These considerations demonstrate to what extent perception precedes the separation of subject and object in that the atmospheric ‘whereby’ is responsible for creating tuned spaces and situations. Turning to the objects of perception and their concomitant ecstasies as well as to the subject of perception with its reception helps to clarify which components of an atmosphere work in what way. In this context, methods of exploratory involvement and participation (in the Parcours Commenté but even more so in the Aesthetic Fieldwork) gain in importance in order to explore atmospheres from a lifeworld perspective.

Abstract

Gustav Hugo and the Göttingen student riots 1809/10. This paper deals with legal transplants during the Napoleonic era in Germany. Among the many changes introduced in the French ‘model kingdom’ of Westphalia, founded in 1806, were the introduction of the Code Napoléon and a complete reorganization of the judiciary. One of the institutions severely affected by these developments was the venerable University of Göttingen with its ancient privileges and royal prerogatives. The famous Romanist und founder of the Historical School, Gustav Hugo, was at its helm during the most turbulent phase of this reorganization. His achievements as vice rector are the subject of the second part of the paper.
SEGMENTASI PASAR KONSUMEN MAKANAN DI JAKARTA, INDONESIA DENGAN PENDEKATAN FOOD-RELATED LIFESTYLE
Authors: Ishano Chandra Cipta 
Published: July 2019

Recently, the needs and desires of consumers seem to be more diverse. It is caused by the various lifestyle of consumers. Therefore, marketers need to make a classification of consumers or which is called a market segmentation. Market segmentation is the activity for grouping heterogeneous market into smaller homogeneous market in order to form a product preference to the needs of significant market segments. Conventional segmentation tool, such as demographic segmentation is less effective in predicting consumer because of what is often called market fragmentation. Demographic variable is not enough to recognize consumers because marketers need to know the lifestyle of consumers. The concept of lifestyle segmentation as a result of psychographic segmentation group began to develop in the 1970s. Analysis of consumer lifestyle has become a very popular tool in research in the field of marketing.In 1993, the concept of new lifestyle-related products to a category of its achievement with cognitive-deductive system developed by Brunso, Grunert, and Bisp was begun from Market-Based Productand Process Development in Danish (MAPP) research group di Arhuss School ofBusiness.They applied to food by developing an approach to food-related lifestyle (FRL), which was focused as the concept of lifestyle approach to explore market segments related to food generally.

Objective of this research; 1) determine the perception of ranchers against the properties and behavior of the leadership of the companion in the Society of Al-Awwaliyah 2) analyze the relationship between productivity breeder with productivity of livestock in the Society of Al-Awwaliyah 3) identify the relationship perceptions of ranchers against the leadership companion with productivity of livestock in the Society of Al-Awwaliyah , The data used in this study are primary and secondary data. Primary data were obtained from questionnaires which stem from ranchers while secondary data sourced from literature in the form of books and articles. Data processing was performed using Chi-square analysis using SPSS software version 21. One of the factors relating to the productivity of ranchers is the perception of ranchers against the leadership of their companion. Leadership companion views of the nature and behavior of which is owned by a companion. Productivity ranchers indirectly related to the productivity of the cattle business. Characteristics breeder visits of age, years of education, experience ranchers, and businesses in addition to ranchers. The results of data analysis showed that there is a significant relationship between business other than ranchers with ranchers productivity. The relationship between the perception of the nature of the companion breeder with productivity ranchers produce Pearson Chi-Square value is 9.751 and Asymp. Sig. (2-sided) of 0.002. This is due to interest ranchers against leadership qualities possessed by a companion who produce prolific ranchers. Ranchers consider that a companion of his leadership qualities are ideal as a companion.
