Published: March 2018

BACKGROUND:
Plasma transfusion is commonly performed for the correction of abnormal coagulation screening tests. The goal of this investigation was to assess the relationship between the dose of plasma administered and changes in coagulation test results in a large and diverse cohort of patients with varying levels of coagulation abnormalities and comorbid disease and in a variety of clinical settings.

METHODS:
In this single-center historical cohort study, all plasma transfusion episodes in adult patients with abnormal coagulation screening tests were extracted between 2011 and 2015. The primary outcome was the proportion of patients attaining normal posttransfusion international normalized ratio (INR ≤ 1.1) with secondary outcomes including the proportion of patients attaining partial normalization of INR (INR ≤ 1.5) or at least 50% normalization in pretransfusion values with respect to an INR of 1.1.

RESULTS:
In total, 6779 unique patients received plasma with a median (quartiles) pretransfusion INR of 1.9 (1.6–2.5) and a median transfusion volume of 2 (2–3) units. The majority (85%) of transfusions occurred perioperatively, with 20% of transfusions administered prophylactically before a procedure. The median decrease in INR was 0.4 (0.2–0.8). Complete INR normalization was obtained in 12%. Reductions in INR were modest with pretransfusion INR values <3. Patients receiving ≥3 units of plasma were more likely to achieve at least 50% normalization in INR than those receiving ≤2 units (68% vs 60%; P < .001).

CONCLUSIONS:
Changes in INR after plasma transfusion were modest at typically used clinical doses, particularly in those with less severely deranged baseline coagulation screening tests. Further studies are necessary to assess the relationships between plasma-mediated changes in INR and clinical outcomes.

Political system issues in the political thought of Jan Bobrzyński
The article elaborates on political thought of Jan Bobrzyński (1882‑1951), the Polish conservative politician, journalist, writer and philosopher. The paper is divided into three main sections. The first chapter provides biographical information. The second chapter describes the development of Bobrzyński’s ideas in the period of 1925‑1929. The third is devoted to the 1930s. One of the crucial themes of Bobrzyński’s journalism was a critique of democracy. In the 1920s, he became disappointed with an unstable parliament and supported the idea of a strong head of state. To a large extent, it was a result of his fascination with fascism. Bobrzyński was also involved in organising the Polish monarchist movement. He was promoting his ideas especially through his monthly magazine, „Nasza Przyszłość”. Moreover, his views on the political system can be gauged from the two projects of the Polish constitution he has published. The article shows how various views can be combined within the political views of one philosopher.
A Dynamic Model of Repositioning
Authors: Villas-Boas J. Miguel 
Published: March 2018

Consumer preferences change through time and firms must adjust their product positioning for their products to continue to be appealing to consumers. These changes in product positioning require fixed investments such that firms reposition only occasionally. I construct a model that can include predictable and unpredictable consumer preference changes, and where a firm optimally repositions its product given the current market conditions, and expected future repositionings. When unpredictable consumer preferences evolve away from a current firm’s positioning, the decision to reposition is like exercising an option to be closer to current consumer preferences, or waiting to reposition later or for those preferences to return so as to be closer to the firm’s current position. We characterize this optimal repositioning strategy, how it depends on the discount factor, variance of preferences, and repositioning costs. I compare the optimal policy of the firm with what could be optimal from a social welfare point of view, and find that the firm repositions more frequently than is efficient when there is full market coverage. With predictable changes in consumer preferences, the optimal repositioning strategy involves overshooting and asymmetric repositioning thresholds.

Talar process fractures
Authors: Majeed Haroon , McBride Donald J. 
Published: March 2018

Fractures of the lateral and the posterior processes of the talus are uncommon and frequently missed because of a low level of suspicion and difficulty in interpretation on plain radiographs. Missed fractures can lead to persistent pain and reduced function. Lateral process fractures are usually a consequence of forced dorsiflexion and inversion of fixed pronated foot. These are also commonly known as snowboarder’s fractures. The posterior process of the talus is composed of medial and lateral tubercles, separated by the groove for the flexor hallucis longus tendon. The usual mechanism of injury is forced hyperplantarflexion and inversion causing direct compression of the posterior talus, or an avulsion fracture caused by the posterior talofibular ligament. CT scans are helpful in cases of high clinical suspicion. There is a lack of consensus regarding optimal management of these fractures; however, management depends on the size, location and displacement of the fragment, the degree of cartilage damage and instability of the subtalar joint. Non-operative treatment includes immobilization and protected weight-bearing for six weeks. Surgical treatment includes open reduction and internal fixation or excision of the fragments, depending on the size. Fractures of the lateral and the posterior processes of the talus are uncommon but important injuries that may result in significant disability in cases of missed diagnosis or delayed or inadequate treatment. Early diagnosis and timely management of these fractures help to avoid long-term complications, including malunion, nonunion or severe subtalar joint osteoarthritis.Cite this article: EFORT Open Rev 2018;3:85-92.

Ulysses and I: Joyce as a catalyst for graphic practice
Authors: Gregory Helena 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
This article will focus on elements of my graphic design practice that consider how text can inspire, be used with and act as imagery. I discuss my master’s project, an investigation into a reader’s response to text and a traditional graphic application of that research. This second project was made in collaboration with Joseph Haigh, a fellow student at Manchester Metropolitan University whose research is concerned with typographic landscapes. I consider how my haptic perception of the book has influenced this later work and how it continues to inspire my recent image-based responses.
Contingency as video research strategy
Authors: Hertzog Nickk 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
This article outlines the potential for contingency to operate as a methodological strategy in video practice using the examples of my own research into appropriation. My approach repositions appropriation practice away from gestures of critique and towards more nuanced strategies that focus on questions of meaning and extend ambiguity into practicable artistic methods. This is outlined in the network of influences and involvement and materials that formed my video project, Poor Old Horse (2016). Accordingly, contingency is positioned as a network of potential from which meaning forms precarious alignments and is accelerated through contemporary conditions of digital exchange.

The Impact of Knowledge Management on Work Performance through the Employeesâ€™ Competence: A Case Study of â€œMPâ€ Bank
Authors: Nasikhin Muhammad Annasrudin , Danila Nevi 
Published: March 2018

Since it was established in 2003 until 2014, the â€œMPâ€ bank had never provided its human resources development training. As a result, it decreased its employeesâ€™ performance which ultimately gave a bad impact on the bank. This was a serious concern for the management in 2015. This study aimed to determine and analyze the impact of knowledge management variables consisting of socialization, externalization, combination, and Internalisation on the employees performance indirectly through their competence. The path analysis was used to determine the indirect impact of knowledge management on the wmployessâ€™ performance, with theÂ samples of 140 people. The data analysis and hypothesis testing proved that knowledge management had significant effect on the employees performance indirectly through the employees competence. The R-square of socialization, externalization, combination, and internalisation of the employees competence were 70.5%; and the R-square of competence variable to the performance was 52%. This showed that knowledge management played an important role in improving the employees performance through their competence. It implies that the bank needs to provide in-house training for its employees resource development because only relying on the quality the employees get from the college was not enough
A Case Study of Bank Accounting Practices on Reserves for Impairment of Credit Deduction
Authors: Shonhadji Nanang 
Published: March 2018

The objectivity of the customers' feasibility is biased with the interest of the targeted credit that they are assigned to achieve. In addition, it remains an obstacle forsmall and medium class banks to be dependant on the long historical credit data of each customer to determine the credit-value loss (CKPN). Â This study uses a method of a qualitative case study with structured stages for determining the formation of credit-value loss (CKPN) with creditrisk+ model. The purpose of this study is to reveal the accounting practice of establishing CKPN with creditrisk+ model. The results show that the ATMR method caused BPR banks to provide a very large recovery fund when compared with CreditRisk+ method. Other findings reveal that the approach of ATMR is not maximized in producing accurate measure of credit risk and in accordance with the actual condition. This study contributes to providing an alternative to the determination of CKPN in addition to using ATMR and roll rate analysis model by the banks. For the regulators and professional organizations of the Indonesian Institute of Accountants, they can use it as sources of information to evaluate the application of PSAK 55, especially in determining the CKPN.Â

Published: March 2018

Fly ash and sandblasting slag widely used as concrete’s builder because it contains quite high silica (SiO2) approximately 58,20% and 98,97%. Fly ash and sandblasting slag can increase concrete power pressure and contains characteristic like cement. Method of concrete making and technical feasibility test on this research use SNI standar (SNI 03-2834-2000). Environmental feasibility test use Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedur (TCLP) according PP No. 101 tahun 2014. The results of this research show that the use of sandblasting slag can increase concrete power pressure at age of immersion 28 days. Concrete power pressure with 5%; 10%; 15%; and 20% sandblasting slag are 16,32 MPa; 17,81 MPa; 18,89 MPa; and 15,24 MPa. The use of sandblasting slag and fly ash can increase concrete power pressure at age of immersion 28 days. Concrete power pressure with 5% sandblasting slag and 30% fly ash; 10% sandblasting and 25% fly ash, 15% sandblasting and 20% fly ash, and 20% sandblasting and 15% fly ash are 18,53 Mpa, 16,08 MPa, 17,20 Mpa, and 15,91 MPa. Based on the TCLP test, the concentration of heavy metal substances in 10% SBE are below the standard. Thus, it is scientifically proven to conclude that concrete with 10% and 15% sandblasting slag and 5% sandblasting slag and 30% fly ash; 15% sandblasting and 20% fly ash are technically proper and safe for the environment.

Guidelines for DNA barcoding of coralline algae, focusing on Lithophylloideae (Corallinales) from Brazil
Authors: Torrano-Silva Beatriz N. , Vieira Bruno R. , Riosmena-Rodríguez Rafael , Oliveira Mariana C. 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
Multiple-marker (COI-5P, UPA, psbA and rbcL-3P) and two algorithmic approaches [automatic barcode gap discovery (ABGD) and Poisson tree process (PTP)] were used for species delimitation of Lithophylloideae in Brazil. The integrative approach was mostly congruent between markers and algorithmic methods of species delimitation, suggesting the occurrence of 24 species. Based on morphology and molecular data, Amphiroa rigida, Amphiroa vanbosseae, Lithophyllum atlanticum, Lithophyllum kaiseri, Lithophyllum margaritae, Titanoderma pustulatum, Titanoderma prototypum and Paulsilvella huveorum, which were previously reported for Brazil, are confirmed in this work. Six new species are distinguished by both molecular and morphological traits, and they are provisionally named as Amphiroa sp. 1, Amphiroa sp. 2, Amphiroa sp. 3, Lithophyllum sp. 1, Lithophyllum sp. 2 and Lithophyllum sp. 3. Another 10 species are cryptic and cannot be distinguished based on traditionally used morphological traits. These include Amphiroa sp. 4, Lithophyllum sp. 4, three species that are morphologically named under Amphiroa beauvoisii, and six that share the morphology described for Amphiroa fragilissima. All four markers used were useful for species delimitation. However, a combination of practical aspects and levels of intra- and interspecific divergence values led us to propose the use of rbcL-3P as a standard DNA barcode marker for the Corallinales.

The group of diffeomorphisms of a non-compact manifold is not regular
Authors: Magnot Jean-Pierre 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
We show that a group of diffeomorphisms D on the open unit interval I, equipped with the topology of uniform convergence on any compact set of the derivatives at any order, is non-regular: the exponential map is not defined for some path of the Lie algebra. This result extends to the group of diffeomorphisms of finite dimensional, non-compact manifold M.
