Introduction:
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a treatment used for both elective (eg, osteoarthritis) and nonelective (eg, fracture) indications. Patients undergoing nonelective THA may not be able to undergo the same preoperative optimization protocols as those undergoing elective THA. We aimed to determine differences in 30-day, 90-day, and 1-year surgical site infection (SSI) rates; 90-day and 1-year periprosthetic joint infection (PJI)–related revision; and 90-day and 1-year PJI-related surgery (ie, revision or irrigation and débridement) between nonelective and elective THA status.

Method:
This retrospective cohort study using the Medicare Limited Data Set included fee-for-service Medicare beneficiaries aged 65+ years who underwent inpatient primary THA in 2017 to 2020. Propensity score matching (1:5, nonelective: elective) was used. We assessed differences in surgical site infection (SSI), periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) outcomes by nonelective versus elective surgery status using mixed-effects logistic regression models, reporting adjusted odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).

Results:
From a total of 433,326 patients, 88,940 (19,094 nonelective; 69,846 elective) were successfully matched. Nonelective surgery status was associated with markedly higher odds of 30-day SSI (OR 1.55, 95% CI 1.25 to 1.92, P < 0.001), 90-day SSI (OR 1.53, 95% CI 1.30 to 1.78, P < 0.001), and 1-year SSI (OR 1.41, 95% CI 1.25 to 1.59, P < 0.001). Nonelective status was also associated with higher odds of 1-year PJI-related revision (OR 1.33, 95% CI 1.08-1.63, P = 0.006) but not 90-day PJI-related revision. Similarly, nonelective status was associated with higher odds of 1-year PJI-related surgery (OR 1.33, 95% CI 1.09 to 1.62, P = 0.004) but not 90-day PJI-related surgery.

Conclusion:
Nonelective THA status was an independent risk factor for SSI throughout the first postoperative year and for 1-year PJI-related revision and PJI-related surgery. Additional research is necessary to elucidate the etiology of observed differences in infection risk between patients undergoing nonelective and elective THA and to define strategies to mitigate this difference in infection risk.

Integrating TEI/XML Text with Semantic Lexicographic Data
Authors: Wills Tarrin , Johannsson Ellert Thor , Battista Simonetta 
Published: November 2024

Traditional excerption-based historical dictionaries often provide a very detailed semantic analysis of a high proportion of words in the corpora they cover. The Dictionary of Old Norse Prose will have analyzed and defined around 7% of all words in a 11 million word corpus, for example. Linking the semantic analysis of excerpted citations to new digital texts of the works in the corpus offers the potential to give much more detailed context for the citations in the dictionary and at the same time contextual semantic information (definitions) for a high proportion of specific words in the corpus. The task is nontrivial as it involves linking separately-formed datasets consisting of tens of thousands of tokens. This paper describes a process by which a very high proportion of citations in the dictionary are linked to individual words in new digital editions, using sorting and lexical information. The result is that users of the dictionary can view the citations in their full textual context, and readers of the text can access definitions specific to individual words in the text.
Hillforts – built by collective action or coercive leadership?
Authors: Ødegaard Marie , Teigen Arild L. 
Published: November 2024

This article was first published in "Vol. 88 (2024)" of Norsk Arkeologisk Årbok in 2024. In 2025 it was re-published in the second issue of Viking Special Volumes.
In this article, we will examine the socio-economic and military landscape of the Early Iron Age (AD 1–600) in the historical county of Vingulmark, which consisted of the area from Eiker in the west to Bohuslän in the east. Our starting point is hillforts, which are usually interpreted as places of refuge for people in rural areas in times of unrest. In Norway, around 450 hillforts are known, mainly dated to the period AD 200–550. Vingulmark contains 109 of them, thus almost a quarter of the known hillforts. We discuss why there are so many hillforts in Vingulsmark, and the relation between hillforts and central farms / places in Vingulmark. Are the hillforts the result of community solutions in farming communities or was the construction of the hillforts controlled by elites from one or more centres, under threats of coercion? We will assess the hillforts in relation to socio-economic relations, settlement expansion, central farms and central places in a landscape perspective with the application of anarchist theories and collective action theory.

Insecurity and political apathy in Nigeria’s elections: a study of Kano State elections (2011 - 2019)
Authors: Mahmud Muhammad Alamin , Ozden Kemal 
Published: November 2024

This paper explores insecurity as a cause of political apathy that hinders political participation in Nigeria, taking Kano State as the context of the research. It adopts qualitative approach, simultaneously using both primary and secondary sources; in-depth interviews, scholarly articles and journals. Interviewees were purposively sampled. Rational Choice Theory is used as the theoretical pedestal to elucidate that partaking in political activity though an element of liberal democracy happens based on the choice and volition of citizens. Such a right could be taken away when citizens are disenfranchised as a result of insecurity; political violence, hooliganism etc. The study finds out among other things that violence emanates from the misconduct of thugs, sponsored or hired by politicians to rig elections, intimidate voters and scare off opponents at polling units. Also, belief of politicians that elections must be won by hook or crook and at all cost scares voters from falling victims at the hands of politicians and their political soldiers. Accordingly, the study recommends adequate civic education and political sensitization to citizens at early age through conventional schools and otherwise. Also, the electoral body should sanitize the system by employing stringent rules in the electoral process to ensure safe and violent-free environment before, during and after elections. Vetting and screening to-be political officers should also be rigorous, entailing character, records, use of drugs and association with political hooligans.

Published: November 2024

This study aims to determine the effect of the use of interactive learning media (wordwall) on the understanding of basic mathematical concepts of grade IV students at SDN 1 Tebaban. This type of research is a quantitative research of experimental methods with a quasi-experimental design of pretest-posttest control group design. The population of this study is class IV A and IV B which totals 35 students. The sample of this study uses a saturated sampling technique. The data collection technique in this study uses observation sheets, questionnaire sheets and pretest and posttest test sheets. The data analysis techniques in this study include observation and questionnaire data analysis, descriptive analysis, normality test, variance homogeneity test and independent samples test. The results of the observation sheet showed that the students' understanding of basic mathematical concepts in the experimental class reached 75% ('Very Good'), higher than the control class which only reached 62.99% ('Good'). Based on the results of the questionnaire, the use of wordwall interactive media was proven to be more effective in improving students' understanding than mind mapping learning media and teaching aids in the control class, with 91% of students in the experimental class supporting the use of wordwalls, compared to 80% in the control class. The t-test showed a value of Sig. (2-tailed) 0.02, so that the alternative hypothesis was accepted, indicating a significant influence of interactive learning media on the understanding of mathematical concepts of grade IV students at SDN 1 Tebaban.
Significancia y Pertinencia de la Empresa Publica en Bolivia
Authors: Ribera Cuellar Julio 
Published: November 2024

Uno de los temas que siempre ha estado en discusión y continua con mayor profundidad en debate es el rol de las empresas públicas y su significancia en el desarrollo del país. Tradicionalmente en Bolivia, el estudio sobre la pertinencia de que exista la empresa estatal ha sido de máximo interés, tanto para académicos, investigadores y científicos, como para los gobiernos, entendiéndose por pertinencia de la empresa pública la conveniencia de que exista y sus resultados en el logro de las metas establecidas por el Estado para cubrir necesidades sociales y/o prioridades de gran magnitud que conforman el andamiaje del desarrollo de la sociedad. Al mismo tiempo, si bien a nivel internacional, en algunos países capitalistas, la privatización de empresas estatales ha sido una de las políticas públicas más generalizada de los últimos años, con el modelo neoliberal en las economías mundiales, no dio los mismo resultados en países de economías emergentes, donde como contrapartida se promovió y se consumó la nacionalización de empresas privadas, que si bien a estas se les atribuye mayores ventajas en lo concerniente a rendimiento y productividad, en términos económicos para el desarrollo integral del país fue un fracaso, debido a sus efectos de rentabilidad y beneficios económicos absolutamente segmentados y poco masificados en el conjunto de la diversidad social boliviana. Sobre este tema existen diferentes argumentos, desde lo conceptual hasta lo empírico. Al respeto, diversos estudios señalan que, si bien las empresas privadas demuestran mayor eficiencia, productividad y competencia, las empresas públicas tiene un rol más destacado en razón de la responsabilidad de atender requerimientos de la sociedad en su conjunto. Empero. en la praxis internacional se muestra la significancia y pertinencia de la empresa pública, a partir de su propia existencia como ente que gestiona la propiedad del Estado en beneficio de la satisfacción de la sociedad que la compone.
The Development of Masculine Power in Sandplay
Authors: Dundas Evalyn 
Published: November 2024

This case study describes a 23-year-old man, suffering with depression. He is unable to verbalize his thoughts or feelings. Through 12 sandtrays, the process shows the emerging feminine, the balance of the masculine and feminine and the developing androgyny of the energy. Significant miniatures are used. The snake holds renewal and healing; the frog rebirth and the dark life; and the tree, the earth/sky connection. The Russian stone woman and old man, hold the polarity of the balancing opposites. The work of the sandplayer with the witness in the therapist, along with the work of his male analyst, provided the containment for this individual to find renewed health.
Navajo Sand Painting and Sandplay
Authors: Baker Clare 
Published: November 2024

The comparisons and contrasts between Navajo sand painting and Sandplay therapy is considered by this writer. The Navajo Ceremony combines rituals of symbolism for several days. The central piece of the ceremony involves Changing Woman, the collective symbol of the life cycle. The similarity of these two expressions is the apparent loosening of the "psychic logjam" in symbolic form. The correlations are striking. Both provide the means for waking up images of the Collective, which prompt balance and healing.

Trend and Instability Analysis of Milk Prices in Major Markets of India
Authors: Tanwar Rashmi , Singh Sunil Kumar 
Published: November 2024

The growth rate of production and per capita availability of milk and growth rate, variability and convergence/divergence of retail prices of milk in the major consuming markets of India has been examined in this article using annual production and per capita availability of milk data for the period from 1980-81 to 2022-23 and deseasonalised monthly milk retail prices from 1975-76 to 2022-23 was utilized to study the growth rate, variability and convergence/divergence of retail prices of milk. The entire period was further divided into two sub-periods and Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR), Coefficient of Variation around the trend and Bandyopadhyay (1989) methodology were applied to examine the growth rate, variability, instability and convergence/divergence of milk retail prices. The study concluded that the production and per capita availability of milk was increasing continuously. The highest average milk retail price was recorded in Delhi market during TE2022. The growth rate of milk retail prices were increased in Delhi and Kolkata markets while in Mumbai and Chennai markets, it was reduced from sub-period I to sub-period II. The variability of milk retail prices were reduced from sub-period I to sub-period II in all the selected markets. The Mumbai market exhibited highest reduction in variability in milk retail prices while the Chennai market showed lowest reduction in retail price of milk from sub-period I to sub-period II. The positive and negative deviation trend lines were diverging during sub-period I while they were converging during sub-period II. This indicated that instability of milk retail price was reducing during sub-period II. The reduction of variability and instability in milk retail prices was caused by the increased production and per capita availability of milk, increased milk processing capacity and improvement in marketing infrastructure in the recent time.
Photo‐and Electroluminescence from Nitrogen‐Doped and Nitrogen–Sulfur Codoped Graphene Quantum Dots

Published: August 2018

AbstractAs opposed to inorganic counterparts, organic quantum dots often exhibit lower fluorescence efficiencies and are complex to synthesize. Here we develop nitrogen‐doped (N‐GQDs) and nitrogen–sulfur codoped (NS‐GQDs) graphene quantum dots exhibiting high‐yield visible and near‐IR emission that are synthesized via a single‐step microwave‐assisted hydrothermal technique with a single glucosamine‐HCl starting material (thiourea precursor used for NS‐GQDs). As‐synthesized N‐GQDs and NS‐GQDs are well‐dispersed (average sizes of 5.50 and 3.90 nm) with high crystallinity and pronounced G‐band. Formed by the bottom‐up assembly of glucosamine, they contain amine linkage and a variety of oxygen‐containing functional groups assessed by Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy with ≈2% sulfur for NS‐GQDs. The synthetic procedure allows varying their size and the bandgap. Unlike other graphene‐based quantum dots, these GQDs exhibit bright, stable fluorescence both in the visible and near‐IR with high quantum yields of up to 60%. Excitation‐dependent visible fluorescence is attributed to size‐dependent bandgaps, with near‐IR emission potentially arising from the emissive defect states/their arrangements. Advantageous properties of these GQDs are utilized to develop exciton recombination layer for organic light‐emitting devices exhibiting both photoluminescence and electroluminescence in the visible. Produced by ecofriendly one‐step scalable synthesis brightly‐emissive N‐GQDs and NS‐GQDs become a promising material for novel organic optoelectronics.
Low‐Voltage, Printed, All‐Polymer Integrated Circuits Employing a Low‐Leakage and High‐Yield Polymer Dielectric
Authors: Stucchi Elena , Dell'Erba Giorgio , Colpani Paolo , Kim Yun‐Hi , Caironi Mario 
Published: August 2018

AbstractIn the path toward the integration of organic field‐effect transistors (OFETs) and logic circuits into low‐cost and mass produced consumer products, all‐organic devices based on printed semiconductors are one of the best options to meet stringent cost requirements. Within this framework, it is still challenging to achieve low voltage operation, as required by the use of thin film batteries and energy harvesters, for which a high capacitance and reliable organic dielectric is required. Here, the development of a parylene‐C based dielectric bilayer compatible with top‐gate architectures for low‐voltage OFETs and logic circuits is presented. The polymer bilayer dielectric allows the high yield fabrication of all‐polymer, bendable, transparent p‐ and n‐type OFETs operating below 2 V, with low leakage, uniform performances, and high yield. Such a result is a key enabler for the reliable realization of complementary logic circuits that can operate already at a voltage bias of 2 V, such as well‐balanced inverters, ring‐oscillators and D‐Flip‐Flops.
