Nontraumatic Liver Herniation through a Right–Sided Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia of Morgagni: An Autopsy Case Report with a Review of Liver Herniations through the Defect and a Review of the Defect
Authors: Mambo Nobby C. 
Published: June 2018

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia of Morgagni (CMH) is a rare developmental defect that develops during the development of the human diaphragm. It is usually right-sided and tends to produce symptoms in later life when abdominal viscera herniate into the chest cavities. Herniations of the liver through this defect into the chest cavities are rare and are often not clinically suspected even when they are associated with symptoms. The amounts of liver tissue involved are usually small, do not cause symptoms and are often an incidental finding during imaging studies of the chest for unrelated symptoms. This case report documents a clinically unrecognized incidental herniation of the liver into the right chest cavity through a CMH. The report also reviews previously reported cases of liver herniations through a CMH and the possible causes of the defect.
Identifying Errors in Forensic Autopsy Reports Using a Novel Web-Based Program
Authors: Cain Matthew D. , Brazelton Jason , Dye Daniel W. 
Published: June 2018

Introduction Autopsy reports are often complex, with ample opportunity for errors and inconsistencies. These reports are often scrutinized by both families and attorneys. Identification of errors by proofreading physicians or clerical staff can be improved by utilizing a computer program to examine reports for discrepancies. Methods A webpage to review demographic consistency, organ descriptions, and pertinent information regarding gunshot wounds was developed to proofread reports. Thirty completed reports were analyzed from the Jefferson County Coroner/Medical Examiner Office. Additionally, a separate individual was instructed to sabotage reports and then determine if the software could detect the alterations. Results Of the 30 completed reports analyzed, no errors/omissions were identified; however, these reports were accurate upon manual inspection. Rarely, the computer triggered a warning that an organ should be confirmed if the author used a description that differed from the software's vocabulary (e.g., the author discussed “uterine wall” instead of “uterus”). The webpage detected eight out of ten errors supplied to the five sabotaged cases. These errors ranged from inconsistent age, race, and gender, to incomplete gunshot wound descriptions. Conclusion Identification of errors by a computer proofreading program can improve autopsy report quality. The webpage has been designed so that additional modules, such as strangulation proofreading, could easily be added. Furthermore, the ability of the software to detect errors will continue to improve as more words are added to its vocabulary. The webpage is freely available and can be adapted to other medical examiner offices needs from the GitHub website.
Ten Percent of SIDS Cases are Murder — or are They?
Authors: Milroy Christopher M. , Kepron Charis 
Published: June 2018

Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) has been used as a cause of death for over four decades. It has allowed deaths of infants to be registered as natural. Within this group of deaths, a certain number have been recognized to be homicides from inflicted smothering rather than being natural or accidental deaths. Research has been conducted using confidential inquires to determine how frequent homicide is in cases called SIDS. This paper traces the history of quoted rates of homicide. Early work suggested the figure was between 2-10% of all SIDS cases, though other workers have suggested figures as high as 20-40%. With the fall in the rate of infant deaths following the “Back to Sleep” campaigns, these figures have been reevaluated. If the higher figures were correct that 20-40% of SIDS were homicides, the fall in infant deaths would be expected to be less than it has been. Current data suggests a much lower figure than 10% of current cases, with much lower overall rates of infant deaths. As well as 10% of SIDS cases having been stated to be homicides, a related question is whether multiple deaths classified as SIDS are really homicides. The paper discusses the maxim that one death is a tragedy, two is suspicious, and three deaths indicate homicide. The paper also looks at court cases and the approach that has been made in prosecutions of sudden unexpected death in infancy as multiple murder.
Forensic Legacy of the Khmer Rouge: The Cambodian Genocide
Authors: Gruspier Katherine , Pollanen Michael S. 
Published: June 2018

The people of Cambodia were subjected to widespread forced migration and labor, disease, starvation, torture, murder, and indeed, genocide over a period of four years during the control of the country by Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge in the 1970s. While the country awaits some form of justice from the hybrid tribunal hearing cases against a few of the perpetrators of these crimes, it has undertaken to memorialize the dead in visible monuments in order that the people remember and never allow it to happen again. This paper outlines the few forensic investigations which have been undertaken on the remains of the deceased from this period in Cambodia's history. The current status of the legal proceedings and the current death investigation system in Cambodia are also presented. There is a wealth of objective forensic information that can be gathered from analyzing the remains that have been disturbed and placed in monuments (stupas), and also in the undisturbed graves across the country. This information cannot only assist in any legal proceedings, but can aide in training medicolegal experts in Cambodia for the future good of the country and its rule of law.
Fatal Entrapment of the Basilar Artery in a Longitudinal Fracture of the Clivus Due to Head Injury: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Authors: Walker Alfredo , Santos Marlise Peruzzo dos , Glikstein Rafael , Michaud Jean 
Published: June 2018

Infarction of the posterior cerebral artery circulation arising from entrapment of the basilar artery in a fracture of the clivus has been reported in the medical literature, predominantly in the radiology and emergency medicine journals. Review of the medical literature on the topic revealed 14 published cases of entrapment of the basilar and/or vertebral artery within a longitudinal fracture of the clivus. These were all reported between 1964 and 2016 and postmortem examination had been conducted on seven cases. To date, no case of entrapment of the basilar and/or vertebral artery in a fracture of the clivus has been reported in the forensic pathology literature, and the published literature on the entity is reviewed
Healed Fracture of Superior Horn of Thyroid Cartilage in Autoerotic Asphyxia: An Indication of Prior Activity? A Case Report Utilizing 3D Scanning and Printing of the Larynx
Authors: Eckhardt Michael , Shah Kabeer , Bois Melanie , Maleszewski Joseph , Moore Kellyanna , Lin Peter 
Published: June 2018

Evidence of prior autoerotic asphyxia is often difficult to establish due to the decedent's efforts to hide the activity from others. In this case report, we suggest that a healed fracture of the thyroid cartilage is indicative of prior autoerotic asphyxia activity. The decedent was a 45-year-old man who was found unclothed on the floor of his bedroom with a belt ligature around the neck. A second rope ligature was loosely wrapped around the decedent's wrists, scrotum, and penis. A definitive escape mechanism was not identified, but a nearby towel and barbell weight may have comprised a possible escape mechanism. There was no known history of depression or prior autoerotic activity. Autopsy was notable for the presence of a healed fracture of the right superior horn of the thyroid cartilage. Three-dimensional (3D) surface scanning and 3D printing was utilized to preserve the anatomical findings prior to histologic sampling. To our knowledge, this is the first reported use of 3D surface scanning and 3D printing for the purpose of documenting a forensic finding prior to alteration of the anatomical specimen for histologic sampling. Acute fractures of the superior horns of the thyroid cartilage are not infrequently seen in ligature hanging. Therefore, the presence of a healed fracture in the setting of autoerotic asphyxia likely indicates prior activity. Histologic sampling of the laryngeal cartilages to detect occult healed fractures in autoerotic asphyxia may be useful. Three-dimensional scanning and printing may alleviate concerns for specimen alteration due to histology sampling.
READABILITY OF ESL PICTURE BOOKS IN MALAYSIA
Authors: Ismail Adlina , Yusof Normah 
Published: June 2018

Predicting readability of a reading text for second language learners is important for teachers, educators, and other concerned parties to make sure the text matches targeted readers’ proficiency. Suitable reading materials would promote language development among readers, especially children. In Malaysia nowadays, English story books for children which are published locally can be easily found in libraries or bookstores. However, the readability of these reading materials has remained uncovered. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the readability of Malaysian English children story books on five aspects (narrativity, syntactic simplicity, word concreteness, referential cohesion and deep cohesion) as provided by the computational tool, Coh-Metrix Common Core Text Ease Readability Assessor (T.E.R.A). Ten local English children story books were selected as samples. It was found that the majority of the samples have high narrativity, syntactic simplicity, and word concreteness but average referential cohesion and deep cohesion. The result revealed that there is lack of attention given to the aspect of cohesion in children story books. This study recommends that children book writers consider the readability of ESL children story books to help children’s language development.

THE INFLUENCES OF ‘POWER DISTANCE’ ON PRE-SERVICE TEACHER LEARNING IN VIETNAM
Authors: Nguyen Huong Thi Mai 
Published: June 2018

Globalisation has moved nations to take steps to meet the demands of an increasingly competitive employment market. The Vietnamese Government has introduced a number of initiatives to equip its labour force with the necessary knowledge and skills, one of which is requiring teachers to change their teaching methods toward constructivist pedagogies. This study focuses on pre-service teachers’ learning in Vietnam, where a ‘large power distance’ is widely practiced in education. This article reports on part of the action research study, showing the influences of ‘large power distance’ on pre-service teacher learning in Vietnam. The findings show that the ‘large power distance’ in Vietnamese culture generated both negative and positive influences during the teacher learning process. The findings contribute to the discussions about the role of teacher educators in promoting change for better education in Vietnam.

COVERING UP AND SPEAKING UP! A RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF HIJABI NARRATIVES
Authors: Mat Nayan Shahreen 
Published: June 2018

In the debate concerning the state of women in Muslim societies, scholarly literature on the hijab or the Muslim dress code is often relayed by observers and not by those who enact the religious obligation. Post 9-11 and recent developments on both the local and global stage have heightened the focus on Islam and its followers. Hate, Islamaphobic, and extremist rhetoric have unfortunately overwhelmed the moderates. This state of exigency needs to be addressed. Focusing on Muslim women and the hijab, this paper attempts to address the hegemonic discourse on the dress code while bringing to the fore the narratives on hijab from personal conversations as well as texts from the media. Using bell hook's enactment as a rhetorical option and standpoint theory as a theoretical framework, this study seeks to contribute to existing literature by highlighting the voices of moderate, conscious, and practicing Muslim women who offer their views on the hijab. In expressing their faith and their practice of hijab, the women indirectly contribute to the act of da'wah while demonstrating their agency. Conversations with the women in this study revealed that the act of hijab for them correlates with the notion of agency, emancipation, and self-reward.

THE EFFICACY OF SIMULATED TEACHING IN PREPARING PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS FOR PRACTICUM
Authors: Mukhtar Munierah Ainaa , Hasim Zuwati , Md Yunus Melor 
Published: June 2018

Teacher training programme has been recognised for its importance in training and preparing pre-service teachers for practicum and teaching profession. Interest in the field is noticeable with a number of studies conducted on teacher training areas. To ensure that appropriate training is given for the pre-service teachers prior to their actual classroom teaching, there is a need to look into the extent the pedagogical and content knowledge are delivered and acquired. Pre-service teachers in local public universities have gone through difficult times adjusting to real school environment during practicum period even though they have attended and completed their fair share of mock teaching in simulated teaching classroom. In Malaysia, research on simulated teaching as part of teacher training is still limited and the focus is normally given on the area of assessments and curriculum. Hence, it is the aim of this study to identify issues faced by the pre-service teachers during the practicum. For the purpose of this study, six pre-service teachers were selected as participants from a local public university through purposive sampling; the participants have to have gone through both simulated teaching and teaching practicum. Data were gathered through one-on-one narrative interviews and focus group interviews and analysed with thematic and content analysis. The findings reveal that simulated teaching is effective because of the feedback gathered and it can be further improved by increasing its frequency, integrating more role plays, and including a comprehensive Q&A session after the teaching.Keywords: Micro-teaching, simulated teaching, teacher training programme, teaching practicum, pre-service teachers, educationCite as: Mukhtar, M.A., Hasim, Z., & Md Yunus, M.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, LOGISTICS PERFORMANCE AND MODERATING EFFECT OF FIRM SIZE: EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FROM EAST COAST REGION OF MALAYSIA
Authors: Mohd Zawawi Nur Fadiah , Abdul Wahab Sazali 
Published: June 2018

Information Technology (IT) is universally accepted as one of efficiency boosters. Logistics Service Providers (LSPs) around the world involve in IT implementation with the purpose to increase their service efficiency in catering business demands, especially for LSPs which operate in the areas of heavy trade activities. The activities create congestion which lead to deficient of LSPs performance and increase delivery time and total costs. However, the review of literature reveals that IT implementation met with productivity paradox. Thus, in order to examine how IT implementation influences the performance of LSPs in East Coast Malaysia, 81 LSP firms in the region were involved in this study. This study also investigated the moderating effect of LSP sizes on their performance. The findings reveal that IT implementation significantly influenced LSPs’ performance, but it happened vice versa for the moderator investigation. This study has bridged the literature gaps of IT adoption in such that it offers empirical evidence and new insights on the significant moderating effect of firm size in the relationships between IT implementation and logistics firm performance using Malaysian samples.Keywords: Information Technology, logistics service providers, performance, firm size, Malaysia.Cite as: Mohd Zawawi, N.F. & Abd Wahab, S.

Sustainability–differently
Authors: Dymitrow Mirek , Halfacree Keith 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
It is increasingly appreciated how all societies contain many ‘wicked problems’ or socio-cultural challenges that are multidimensional, hard to pindown and consequently extremely challenging to solve. Obtaining functional and inclusive societal organisation is not a simple matter of ‘doing it’ by subscribing to winning formulae as there are, for example, many choices to be made in the process. Moreover, given that conceptual frameworks always guide thoughts, judgments and actions, how we relate to ‘sustainability’ specifically becomes relevant if we aim to achieve a more liveable society. This journal issue expressly engages with the consequent need to recognise this complexity. It assembles a set of ‘brave’ takes on far-advanced problems bedevilling conventionally conceptualised paths towards sustainability. Arguing against oversimplification that comes from domination of polarising concepts and unquestioned practices and rhetorics, the aim is to foster explorations into new territories from which we may learn. Ultimately, the desire to deconstruct pernicious divisions and create new hybrid syntheses can progress sustainability.
