Introduction:
Participation of women in medicine has increased markedly in recent decades, but gender disparities still exist, particularly in academic medicine. To provide insight into the gender gap, specifically in academic orthopaedic sports medicine, we investigated the relationship between gender and authorship in orthopaedic sports literature from 1972 to 2018.

Methods:
Information about every original article in four prominent orthopaedic sports medicine journals between 1972 and 2018 was extracted from PubMed. The proportions of female first, second, middle, and senior authors over time were determined. Gender influences on level of evidence, academic degrees, and academic productivity and longevity were also studied. Student t-test, multiple linear regression, chi-square test, Cochran-Armitage trend test, and Kaplan-Meier analysis were used to determine significance between groups.

Results:
In our sample, 16.6% of all authors were female. The proportion of female authors increased from 2.6% (1972 to 1979) to 14.7% (2010 to 2018). Female authors averaged fewer publications (1.9 versus 2.8 articles for male authors) and were more likely to be attributed middle authorship (45.9% versus 37.1%) than senior authorship (14.7% versus 22.1%, P < 0.001). Female authors were more likely to be full-time research staff, such as a PhD (18.2% versus 9.0%, P < 0.001), which correlated with a higher level of evidence (B = −0.162, P < 0.001). Gender differences in academic longevity decreased over decades (1972 to 1989, 1990 to 1999, 2000 to 2008), demonstrated by decreasing significance of Kaplan-Meier log-rank tests (<0.01, <0.01, 0.045).

Conclusion:
Female investigators in orthopaedic sports medicine are authoring publications at a growing rate, increasing almost sevenfold from 1972 to 2018. Although women published two-thirds the volume of male investigators overall, and were more likely to be full-time research staff, gender differences in academic productivity and longevity have decreased over time.

‘Macho meritocracy’ Singapore: Five lessons in ruthlessly pursuing public service excellence
Singapore and the Netherlands are small, export- and trade-dependent countries that perform excellently in many areas, such as good governance and integrity, policy effectiveness, liveability, innovation, and e-government. At the same time there are clear differences in political culture and history: Singapore has a more authoritarian governance style including limitations in press freedom, freedom of speech, and political activism. Within these contrasting contexts, both countries have introduced and implemented similar public management reforms since the 1990s. The aim of these reforms is to maintain public service excellence in a dynamic environment but the countries make contrasting choices in achieving this aim. This article describes how administrative excellence is organised and pursued in Singapore and identifies five lessons for the Netherlands: (1) Use positive narratives about government often; (2) be nuanced about capping top-level remuneration; (3) enhance the attractiveness of government as an employer; (4) invest in life-long learning; (5) be an authoritative expert amidst horizontalisation hypes.

Het Huis voor Klokkenluiders in een internationaal perspectief – Een kwalitatief vergelijkend onderzoek naar instellingen voor klokkenluidersbescherming
Dit artikel bespreekt hoe het Huis voor Klokkenluiders zich verhoudt tot gelijkaardige instellingen in tien andere landen, gebaseerd op 21 interviews en de analyse van beleidsdocumenten en onderzoeksrapporten. Het onderzoek laat zien dat deze buitenlandse instellingen ook vaak door de overheid gefinancierd zijn, maar enkel gericht op klokkenluiders in de publieke sector. Onderzoek naar misstanden en benadeling van klokkenluiders wordt vaak door afzonderlijke instellingen gedaan om belangenverstrengeling te voorkomen, terwijl het Huis beide taken combineert. Verder valt op dat naast Nederland weinig landen overheidsfinanciering voorzien voor psychosociale hulp aan klokkenluiders. Advies en preventie zijn wel belangrijk in de meeste landen.
Habitar, narrar e construir: a casa moderna nos relatos biográficos de seus moradores
Authors: Rosatti Camila Gui 
Published: April 2019

Este artigo analisa relatos, a partir fontes diversas, de uma clientela que transformou em narrativa a experiência de habitar casas modernas. Desejosos de habitar um espaço atualizado às diretrizes estéticas de seu tempo, esse conjunto de clientes encomendou, entre o final dos anos 1940 e início dos anos 1960, a construção de suas residências a arquitetos que despontavam no cenário artístico paulistano. Permeado por tensões e ambiguidades, o relato da construção e vivência nessas moradias é uma fonte preciosa para acessar as expectativas em torno de novos padrões sociais e espaciais. Oscilando entre a apologia do vanguardismo arquitetônico e a reclamação dos infortúnios de se habitar uma casa fora dos padrões convencionais, essas narrativas e memórias permitem acessar o imaginário e as ambições de seus moradores, as motivações que os levaram a empreender esse projeto e as decepções quanto à sua realização. Também apresentam observações agudas da vida cotidiana, pelas quais é possível apontar marcadores sociais ligados a posição de classe, gênero e idade, assim como posições estéticas e políticasde um novo grupo social em busca de diferenciação.
Os Katxuyana e a casa tamiriki: protagonismo ameríndio na valorização cultural
Authors: Mello Adriana Russi Tavares de , Abreu Regina Maria Do Rego Monteiro de 
Published: April 2019

Neste artigo o protagonismo ameríndio na valorização de sua cultura foi analisado à luz dos conceitos de participação de “novos sujeitos de direito” e da objetivação da cultura. Esta reflexão partiu da reconstrução da casa tamiriki,um tipo construtivo abandonado por quase quatro décadas, enquanto o povo Katxuyana viveu longe de seu território, às margens do rio Cachorro, no município paraense de Oriximiná, Pará-Brasil. Desde que regressaram a essa região, no final dos anos de 1990, depois de conviverem com outros indígenas, os Katxuyana têm se mobilizado para assegurar sua tradição a seus descendentes, através do aprendizado de seu kwe’toh kumu(“nosso jeito de ser” katxuyana). Preservar o patrimônio indígena, nesse caso, implicou também fortalecer a figura do chefe da aldeia, o pata yotono, com a retomada do modo de organização social de uma aldeia katxuyana. A reconstrução datamiriki,ancorada na memória social dos anciões, revelou a importância de um lugar construído para a sociabilidade aldeã.
Entre direitos e redução de custos trabalhistas: a reforma trabalhista justificada pelos representantes empresariais
Authors: Bevilaqua Vinicius Foletto 
Published: April 2019

O objetivo do artigo é analisar as justificações dos representantes do setor empresarial brasileiro lançadas à reforma trabalhista de 2017. Para analisar as justificações, o recorte do artigo direciona-se para a esfera legislativa brasileira, especificamente concentrando-se nas audiências públicas realizadas na Câmara dos Deputados. A partir do referencial teórico da teoria das justificações de Boltanski, Chiapello e Thévenot, problematiza-se quais as citésmobilizadas pelos representantes do setor empresarial nos momentos críticos da esfera legislativa com relação à reforma trabalhista? Para a finalidade dessa proposta, a pesquisa se desenvolve com base na análise de documentos, a partir das notas taquigráficas das audiências públicas desdobradas na Câmara dos Deputados. Os registros de uma audiência pública foram analisados. O método de análise é a análise de discurso. Como resultados, identificaram-se que as justificações produzidas pelos representantes do setor empresarial gravitam em torno de discursos políticos como a redução do custo trabalhista, a “flexibilização” de contratos trabalhistas, a autonomia privada coletiva e o afastamento do Estado do processo de negociação coletiva. Conclusivamente, aponta-se que os discursos políticos dos representantes do setor empresarial perpassam, principalmente, a cité mercantil e, secundariamente, a cité industrial, evidenciando que as justificações mobilizadas mascaram interesses particulares dos representantes do setor empresarial.

Published: April 2019

An Augmented Reality (AR) application was developed to help students at SDU to learn the anatomy of the human body (mediastinum). This research project intended to evaluate whether AR strengthened the students’ self-efficacy and motivation, improved learning, and provided a good learning experience.
This study focusses on how AR can help students to translate two-dimensional into three-dimensional understanding and evaluates formats of the app (the use of quizzes) together with the didactic design of the teaching sessions with AR. The objectives were to examine A. the effectiveness of using AR on student’s short, long term, and transfer learning outcome compared with traditional teaching, B. the effect of quizzes, and C. app design in relation to didactic design.
In the AR world students saw a standardized hologram body combined with selected images from a computed tomography (CT) scan. The CT images were presented at the proper spatial positions in a hologram body. The user could select which structures to be shown at the body (e.g. skin, the vascular system, etc.). They could approach the body, circumvent it, study structures in details and compare the concurrent presentation with the different CT images.
During class one group received traditional teaching and two groups studied CT scans in Augmented Reality. One AR-group complemented the AR app with quiz questions and received corrective feedback. The other AR group did not use quiz questions but studied content on their own hand. A teacher was present and ready to help students in all groups.
The aim of this paper is to share lessons learned from this intervention and suggest solutions for app design and learning design to facilitate deeper learning processes and scaffold learners’ needs with AR as a learning resource.

Laboratory experiment was carried out using ‘PKM 1’ chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) seed to standardize bioprimed seeds under moisture stress condition inorder to improve seed germination and seedling vigour. To induce the moisture stress, optimize the different concentration of water holdings capacity viz., 80, 60, 40 and 20% were used for best bioprimed seed treatment (biocontrol agents (Pseudomonas fluorescens 60% 12 h, Trichoderma viride 60% 9 h) and liquid biofertilizers (Azospirillum 10% 9 h and Phosphobacteria 15% 9h )) along with hydroprimed seed and control seed. Seed bioprimed with Pseudomonas fluorescens 60% for 12 h improved the germination percentage ( 82), root length (14.2 cm), shoot length (6.2 cm), dry matter production (0.0489 g 10 seedlings-1) and vigour index (1673) compared to control seed. Seed biopriming with Pseudomonas fluorescens 60% for 12 h can be adopted to improve seed germination and seedling vigour under moisture stress condition upto 20%.

Authors: Anthony A. Adeyanju , Manohar K. 
Published: April 2019

The study utilized the exhaust gas from a diesel engine to preheat water in the constructed shell and tube heat exchanger.
The theoretical analysis of the heat exchanger was carried out using the Log Mean Temperature Difference (LMTD) method. The Volumetric flowrate of the water was manipulated using a valve and the resulting output temperature of water leaving the heat exchanger was recorded. Experimentation was carried out to determine the effects of volumetric flow rate on the output temperature and the effectiveness of the heat exchanger. After the test and data analysis, it was discovered that that at flow rate of 3.0 Liter per minute (LPM) the effectiveness of the heat exchanger was peak at 43.34%. The volumetric flow rate of water is inversely proportional to the output temperature of water and it was also established that the effectiveness of the heat exchanger depends on output temperature of and the mass flow rate of the water. Also it was proven that by preheating water before it enters the boiler of the Rankine cycle the efficiency of the cycle increases.

Published: April 2019

Aim: A study was conducted to evaluate supplementary effects of oil palm bunch ash (OPBA) and poultry manure (PM) on the growth and yield performance of mungbeans.
Study Design: The study used a 3 x 3 factorial experiment laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications.
Place and Duration of Study: The experiment was carried out at the University of Calabar Teaching and Research farm, Calabar, Nigeria during the 2014 and 2015 cropping seasons respectively
Methodology: Mung bean variety NM 92 was planted in a well prepared field to evaluate its response to PM and OPBA applications. The treatments included three levels of OPBA (0, 5 and 10 t ha-1) and three levels of PM (0, 5 and 10 t ha-1. PM was cured and applied two weeks before planting while the OPBA was applied at planting. Plant growth data including plant height, number of leaves, number of branches and leaf area were measured at 2,4, 6 weeks after planting whereas the yield data including days to fifty percent flowering, number of pods, pod length , pod and seed yield were recorded
Results: The highest agronomic parameters as well as yield attributing characters and yield were obtained when 10 t ha-1 OPBA or 10 t ha-1 of PM were applied. Each of the levels of applications significantly decreased the number of days to 50% flowering. The highest seed yields of 0.77 t ha-1 in 2014 and 0.82 t ha-1 in 2015 were obtained with the applications of 5 t ha-1 OPBA + 10 t ha-1 PM and 10 t ha-1 OPBA + 10 t ha-1 PM, respectively.
Conclusion: The best agronomic, yield attributing characters and yield of mungbeans were obtained when 10 t ha-1 OPBA or 10 t ha-1 of PM were applied. Also the combined application of 5 t ha-1 OPBA + 10 t ha-1 PM or 10 t ha-1 OPBA + 10 t ha-1 PM gave significantly higher increment in yield. Hence, from our study, it was found that both organic matter sources may be used to obtain higher yields in mungbeans.

Published: April 2019

A 2 x 3 factorial experiment was conducted at two sites in Maiduguri, Borno State during the 2009 cropping season. The objective was to evaluate the influence of rice husk-mulch on soil water balance components under sorghum and millet crops. The treatments comprised of two test crops (sorghum and millet) and three rates of application (0, 10 and 15 t ha-1) of rice husk mulch, fitted in a split-plot design. The test crops were assigned to the main plot, while the mulch application rates were assigned to the sub-plot. The treatments were replicated three times. The components of soil water balance determined were annual rainfall, moisture storage within sorghum and millet root zone, drainage below crop root zone and seasonal crop evapotranspiration. Profile moisture content was measured weekly with the aid of a neutron probe installed at a depth of 2.0 m using access tubes. Also, soil (0 – 30 cm depth) moisture content was determined gravimetrically on weekly basis. Rainfall was measured using a manual rain gauge installed at each of the two sites. Findings in this study indicated that, under the prevailing circumstances, annual rainfall was lower than the amount observed over a ten-year period in Maiduguri. Consequently, soil moisture storage, drainage and seasonal crop evapotranspiration generally declined. An average of over 90 % of this low annual rainfall was lost as seasonal crop evapotranspiration. Sorghum plots stored higher moisture within the root zone, had higher drainage and lower seasonal evapotranspiration than millet plots. Moisture storage and drainage increased with increasing mulch application rate, while, seasonal crop evapotranspiration decreased with it.

Published: April 2019

AbstractExploiting contact lenses for ocular drug delivery is an emerging field in the area of biomedical engineering and advanced healthcare materials. Despite all the research conducted in this area, still, new technologies are in their early stages of the development, and more work must be done in terms of clinical trials to commercialize these technologies. A great challenge in using contact lenses for drug delivery is to achieve a prolonged drug release profile within the therapeutic range for various eye‐related problems and diseases. In general, desired release kinetics to avoid the initial burst release is the zero‐order kinetics within the therapeutic range. This review highlights the new technologies developed to achieve efficient and extended drug delivery. It also provides an overview of the materials and methods for fabrication of contact lenses and their mechanical and optical properties.
