Authors: Malik A. T. , Li M. , Scharschmidt T. J. , Khan S. N. 
Published: April 2019

Aims The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in 30-day outcomes between patients undergoing revision for an infected total hip arthroplasty (THA) compared with an aseptic revision THA. Patients and Methods This was a retrospective review of prospectively collected data from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP) database, between 2012 and 2017, using Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes for patients undergoing a revision THA (27134, 27137, 27138). International Classification of Diseases Ninth Revision/Tenth Revision (ICD-9-CM, ICD-10-CM) diagnosis codes for infection of an implant or device were used to identify patients undergoing an infected revision THA. CPT-27132 coupled with ICD-9-CM/ICD-10-CM codes for infection were used to identify patients undergoing a two-stage revision. A total of 13 556 patients were included; 1606 (11.8%) underwent a revision THA due to infection and there were 11 951 (88.2%) aseptic revisions. Results Patients undergoing an infected revision had a significantly greater length of stay of more than three days (p < 0.001), higher odds of any 30-day complication (p < 0.001), readmission within 30 days (p < 0.001), 30-day reoperations (p < 0.001), and discharge to a destination other than the patient’s home (p < 0.001). Conclusion The findings suggest the need for enhanced risk adjustment based on the indication of revision THA prior to setting prices in bundled payment models of total joint arthroplasty. This risk adjustment should be used to reduce the chance of financial disincentives in clinical practice. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2019;101-B:547–551.

Published: April 2019

Aims We hypothesized that there is no difference in the clinical and radiological outcomes using local bone graft versus iliac graft for subtalar distraction arthrodesis in patients with calcaneal malunion. In addition, using local bone graft negates the donor site morbidity. Patients and Methods We prospectively studied 28 calcaneal malunion patients (the study group) who were managed by subtalar distraction arthrodesis using local calcaneal bone graft. The study group included 16 male and 12 female patients. The median age was 37.5 years (interquartile range (IQR) 29 to 43). The outcome of the study group was compared with a control group of ten patients previously managed by subtalar distraction arthrodesis using iliac bone graft. The control group included six male and four female patients. The median age was 41.5 years (IQR 36 to 44). Results The mean American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) hindfoot score improved significantly in the study and the control groups (p < 0.001). Fusion was achieved in 27 patients in the study group at a median time of 13 weeks (IQR 12 to 14), while all the patients in the control group achieved fusion at a mean time of 13.2 weeks (11 to 15). The mean talocalcaneal height and talar declination angle improved significantly in both the study and the control groups (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference between both groups concerning the preoperative or the postoperative clinical and radiological measurements. Donor site morbidity was reported in four out of ten patients in the control group. Conclusion Local calcaneal bone graft can successfully be used to achieve subtalar distraction arthrodesis with appropriate correction of alignment and calcaneal malunion. We recommend using local instead of iliac bone graft as it gave comparable results and avoids the possibility of donor site morbidity. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2019;101-B:596–602.

Published: April 2019

This paper deals with the preliminary research of the fire detection in a video stream. Early fire detection can save lives and properties from huge losses and damages. Therefore the surveillance of the areas is necessary. Early fire discovery with high accuracy, i.e. a low number of false positive or false negative cases, is essential in any environment, especially in places with the high motion of people. The traditional fire detection sensors have some drawbacks: they need separate systems and infrastructure to be implemented, to use sensors in the case of the industrial environment with open fire technologies is often impossible, and others. The fire detection in a video stream is one of the possible and feasible solutions suitable for replacement or supplement of conventional fire detection sensors without a need for installation a huge infrastructure. The paper provides the state of the art in the fire detection. The following part of the paper proposes the new system of feature extraction and describes the feedforward neural network which was used for the training and testing of the proposed idea. The promising results are presented with over 93% accuracy on a selected dataset of movies which consist of more and highly varied instances than published by other researchers involved in the fire detection field. The structure of the neural networks promises higher computational speed than currently implemented deep learning systems.
The Possibility of Interference Suppression by Correlation Receiver Applied to Marker Localization
Authors: Vestenicky Peter , Vestenicky Martin 
Published: April 2019

The actual applications of the radiofrequency identification (RFID) systems in industry are focused not only on the identification but also on the localization of the RFID transponders. The special type of the RFID transponders is used to localize and to identify the underground facility networks such as pipes and cables. In such applications the RFID transponders are called markers. The paper describes an analysis of the correlation receiver for RSSI based localization of the inductive coupled RFID markers. The analysis is performed by the modeling of the localization device and the marker in Matlab – Simulink software. The aim of the analysis is to examine the ability of the correlation receiver to suppress the interfering signals from industrial sources, for example from the long wave telemetry transmitters which have their working frequencies in the same band as the working frequencies of the markers.

Authors: Robson Noorzurani Md Haris , Bond Alyson J. , Wolff Kim 
Published: April 2019

AbstractPurpose: To report a case of adverse reaction to nicotine gum in a Chinese female with poor nicotine metabolic status after chewing a piece of 2 mg nicotine gum (NG). Background: NG is prescribed in smoking cessation programs to help individuals stop smoking. In smoking cessation treatment, the dose of NG should control withdrawal symptoms but avoid adverse effects. Case results: We describe a case of an adverse reaction following the administration of 2 mg NG to a female Chinese subject. This study compared a single dose of 2 mg NG with a single low dose cigarette (0.7 mg nicotine). Blood (5mL) was collected at baseline and 2h post exposure to NG. Blood pressure and pulse rate were also recorded. Nicotine metabolic rate was determined by calculation of the ratio of plasma cotinine (ng/mL)/plasma nicotine (ng/mL). The subject developed nausea and severe vomiting with raised blood pressure and pulse rate following administration of NG. The ratio of plasma cotinine/nicotine was 0.4 indicative of poor nicotine metabolic rate. Exposure to nicotine using the subject's normal cigarette did not produce similar adverse effects. Conclusion: NG may be associated with adverse reactions in smokers with low nicotine metabolic rate. Physicians in smoking cessation programs should be aware that some individuals may not tolerate this form of pharmacological treatment.
HIJAB DAN TUBUH YANG PATUH PEREMPUAN SALAFI DI KOTA MALANG
Authors: Fitrianita Titi 
Published: April 2019

For moslem hijab is pious symbol and submission to God. Using genealogy approach and Foucaults’s power and knowledge, this paper explains about salafi’s hijab concept and its consequences on women’s life. One of salafi’s doctrine is hijab. Salafi women embracing hijab based on salafi’s rule as an ideal shape and type of hijab, although Islam does not establish the specific rules about it. This research reveals that hijab is related to the roles of women in public and domestic area. There are three forms of compliance. First, covering face with cadar and wearing black dresses are major principle. Second, men and women are forbidden to stay at a one place without covering. Third, staying at home for women is obligatory. At the end, the hijab has became source of domestication on women salafi. Hijab bagi perempuan di dalam Islam berarti ketundukan pada perintah Tuhan dan dalam taraf tertentu secara sosial menunjukkan kesalehan. Menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan genealogi yang berfokus kepada pelacakan kekuasaan dan pengetahuan yang dikembangkan oleh Foucault. Tulisan ini melakukan pelacakan diskursus hijab pada perempuan salafi dan konsekuensinya. Salah satu ajaran paling utama dalam kelompok salafi adalah hijab. Perempuan salafi melaksanakan interpretasi hijab kelompok salafi sebagai tipe dan bentuk yang ideal meskipun Islam tidak secara spesifik menggambarkannya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa wacana hijab dijalankan perempuan salafi tanpa paksaan sehingga mereka selalu menempatkan dirinya di area domestik dan membatasi dirinya sendiri pada area publik. Ada tiga bentuk efek hijab yang membentuk kepatuhan. Pertama, menutup muka dan berpakaian berwarna gelap adalah sebuah keutamaan. Kedua, ikhtilat adalah haram. Ketiga, berdiam diri di dalam rumah adalah syariat. Diskursus hijab yang dipercayai kebenarannya menjadi sumber domestifikasi perempuan salafi.

Published: April 2019

Abstract
For the first time, the modified supercritical carbon dioxide extraction (MSCE) of biologically active compounds from Feijoa sellowiana leaves was investigated. Total yield (TY) and bioactivity of biocompounds in terms of DPPH• (%DPPHsc) and HO• (%HOsc) radicals scavenging were maximized via multivariate optimization. The optimized conditions were the pressure of 272.34 bar, supercritical carbon dioxide flow rate of 1.58 mL min−1, temperature of 52.48 °C, and dynamic extraction time of 110.62 min. The predicted values of the TY, %DPPHsc, and %HOsc were 81.12 mg g−1, 85.16 %, and 75.66 %, respectively. The chromatographic analysis demonstrated gallic acid as the main biophenolic (136.20 ± 0.16 mg g−1). The scanning electron microscopy images showed dramatic disruption of cells treated with MSCE. A comprehensive comparison was made between current findings and other techniques (conventional and ultrasonic waves assisted extraction). More TY was achieved using conventional method but the bioactivity of MSCE products was considerably better.
Group velocity mismatch at ultrashort electromagnetic pulse propagation in nonlinear metamaterials
Authors: Kasumova Rena J. , Safarova Gulnara A. , Ahmadova Asmar R. 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
The parametric interaction of optical wave pulses in metamaterials is considered in the first approximation of the theory of dispersion. The interaction between the quasi-monochromatic pump wave and the wave pulse at the total frequency with quadratic phase modulation is assumed. The results of calculation of the shape of the spectrum of an excited signal wave at a difference frequency are presented for low frequency pumping. It is shown that the effects of group mismatch in metamaterials lead to a narrowing of the spectrum of the excited wave. With an increase in the modulation degree of a weak exciting wave, the spectrum of the excited wave broadens.
Das neue Internationale Einheitensystem – jetzt auch für Außerirdische
Authors: Härtig Frank 
Published: April 2019

Zusammenfassung
Der 20. Mai 2019 wird als revolutionärer Tag in die Geschichte des internationalen Einheitensystems eingehen. Ab diesem Datum werden sich alle Einheiten auf Fundamentalkonstanten abstützen. Die letzten Maßverkörperungen, wie der Internationale Kilogramm-Prototyp, werden an Bedeutung verlieren und in den Ruhestand geschickt. Auf der Basis von Fundamentalkonstanten wird ein System geschaffen, das eine deutlich höhere Stabilität aufweist und eine Vielzahl an Möglichkeiten zur Realisierung der Einheiten zulässt, die sich auf physikalische Zusammenhänge abstützen. Darüber hinaus sind dem neuen Einheitensystem weder Schranken im Hinblick auf dessen Genauigkeit noch Grenzen im Hinblick auf dessen Realisierungsbereiche auferlegt. Ein System, das viele Vorteile bietet, jedoch nicht mehr so einfach zu verstehen ist, wie das bisherige. Die sieben Basiseinheiten, die Sekunde, der Meter, das Kilogramm, das Ampere, das Kelvin, das Mol und die Candela, werden erhalten bleiben und weisen in ihrer Darstellung nur geringfügige Änderungen auf. So wird die Revolution des Einheitensystems für unser tägliches Leben keine bemerkbaren Auswirkungen haben. Damit geht die ca. 120 Jahre alte Vision von Max Planck in Erfüllung, ein Einheitensystem zu schaffen, das prinzipiell auch für außermenschliche und außerirdische Kulturen geeignet ist.

Abstract
Marins, EF, David, GB, and Del Vecchio, FB. Characterization of the physical fitness of police officers: a systematic review. J Strength Cond Res 33(10): 2860–2874, 2019—Physical fitness tests (e.g., aerobic power, muscular endurance, and flexibility tests) are commonly used to assess the ability of police officers to perform work-related tasks. The purpose of this study was to describe, from a systematic literature review, data related to police physical fitness. The research was conducted in 5 electronic databases to search for original studies that measured physical fitness (aerobic and anaerobic capacity, strength, endurance, power, flexibility, agility, and speed) of police officers, as well as the article references. Original studies assessing objective measures of physical fitness in police officers were included, with no date restriction. Fifty-nine articles were included in the review. The studies mostly measured cardiorespiratory fitness indirectly, strength, and muscular endurance, as well as other performance components (body composition, power, flexibility, speed, agility, and anaerobic profile), with police officers generally presenting values similar or above the average of the general population. It can be concluded that intervention studies are needed to promote and incorporate programs related to improvement or maintenance of physical fitness in police officers, which would result in health benefits and specifically improvement in performance of specific tasks of police work. This review provides summary information to assist in the selection of physical fitness tests for police populations. Still, these findings have practical applications for public security agencies and its personnel responsible for the development and implementation of physical programs in policemen population.
Elastoplastic Behavior of Compacted Kaolin under Consolidated Drained and Shearing Infiltration Conditions

Published: April 2019

Abstract
This study presents a comprehensive laboratory study to characterize the elastoplastic behavior of compacted kaolin under consolidated drained (CD) and shearing-infiltration (SI) triaxial conditions. The laboratory tests include a soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC), isotropic consolidation (IC), CD, and SI tests under different net confining stresses to consider in situ stress state and matric suctions that describe the volume change characteristics of unsaturated soil with respect to two stress state variables (i.e., net normal stress and matric suction). Consistently prepared specimens of statically compacted kaolin were used in this study. The results of the SWCC tests demonstrated that the air-entry value and yield suction (so) increased with an increase in net confining stress. The IC tests indicated the strong influence of matric suction on compressibility and stiffness of the compacted kaolin. The results of SI tests indicated that water infiltration reduced the matric suction of the soil and was accompanied by a degradation in deviator stress. It was also found from the CD and SI tests that the failure envelope of compacted kaolin was unique. For practical purposes of transient analyses, therefore, the CD and SI tests, as well as the SWCC and IC tests, might be performed to obtain more rigorously elastoplastic behavior of unsaturated soil under CD and SI conditions.

Authors: Azizi Fereidoun , Takyar Miralireza , Madreseh Elham , Amouzegar Atieh 
Published: April 2019

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
Recent studies show that long-term (LT) antithyroid drugs reduce relapse of hyperthyroidism in patients with Graves’ disease. Our objective was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of LT methimazole treatment and to compare remission rates in Graves' disease patients after LT and short-term (ST) therapy.

METHODS:
In this randomized, parallel group trial, 66 consecutive patients with untreated juvenile Graves’ hyperthyroidism were enrolled. After a median 22 months of methimazole treatment, 56 patients were randomly assigned to either continue low-dose methimazole treatment (n = 24, LT group) or to discontinue treatment (n = 24, ST group). Twenty-four patients in LT group completed 96 to 120 months of methimazole treatment. Patients in both groups were managed for 48 months after discontinuation of treatment.

RESULTS:
Except for 3 cases of cutaneous reactions, no other adverse events were observed throughout 120 months of methimazole therapy. Serum free thyroxine, triiodothyronine, thyrotropin, and thyrotropin receptor antibody remained normal, and the required daily dosage of methimazole was gradually decreased from 5.17 ± 1.05 mg at 22 months to 3.5 ± 1.3 mg between 96 and 120 months of treatment (P &lt; .001). Hyperthyroidism was cured in 92% and 88% of LT patients and in 46% and 33% of ST patients, 1 and 4 years after methimazole withdrawal, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS:
LT methimazole treatment of 96 to 120 months is safe and effective for treatment of juvenile Graves’ disease. The four-year cure rate of hyperthyroidism with LT methimazole treatment is almost 3 times more than that of ST methimazole treatment.
Homerocentos and the Ontology of Christ
Authors: Drzyżdżyk Szymon 
Published: April 2019

This article deals with the problem of the ontology of Jesus Christ that emerges from the pages of the poetic works of the fourth and fifth century that are known as Homerocentos. It consists of three parts. The first presents the Homeric concept of the incarnation, which shows the understanding of the incarnation of the deity present in the Iliad and the Odyssey. In the second, a brief approximation of the incarnation tendency present in the Bible. The final part focuses on an attempt to harmonize the biblical and Homeric conception of the incarnation, and thus to reveal the ontology of Jesus Christ in the Homerocentos.
Chrystocentryzm wiary w Lumen fidei papieża Franciszka
Authors: Kluz Marek 
Published: April 2019

Zasadniczą perspektywę dla pojmowania wiary wyznacza prawda o Chrystusie – Synu Bożym, który stał się człowiekiem. Wiara jest zawsze odniesieniem do osoby Chrystusa i do Jego dzieła zbawienia. Dla chrześcijan Jezus Chrystus jest Objawicielem, który objawia człowieka samemu sobie i ukazuje mu sens jego życia. Postać Jezusa Chrystusa sprawia, że wierzący wszystkich czasów mogą wciąż doskonalej wnikać w Jego nieskończoną głębię egzystencjalną i moralną.Celem publikacji jest uświadomienie potrzeby wskazania konsekwencji, które wywołują w człowieku postać Chrystusa i Jego dzieło zbawienia. Chodzi zatem o odniesienie prowadzonej refleksji chrystologicznej do naszego życia, aby znaleźć odpowiedź na pytanie, kim jest Jezus Chrystus dla naszej wiary. Punktem odniesienia niniejszego studium jest encyklika Lumen fidei papieża Franciszka.
Większość źródłem prawdy o dobru?
Authors: Andryszczak Piotr 
Published: April 2019

W naszych czasach polityka, dążąc do zbudowania państwa prawa, sięga często do opinii dominujących wśród większości obywateli. Źródłem prawa jest wtedy wola większości. Takie stanowisko, choć atrakcyjne, zawiera poważny błąd. W artykule został on krytycznie zanalizowany, a następnie zaproponowano rozwiązanie nieuwikłane w grę między większością a mniejszością.
Działalność sióstr z anglikańskiego zgromadzenia Sisters of Bethany w Persji w latach 1890–1898 w kontekście relacji między Kościołem Anglii a Asyryjskim Kościołem Wschodu
Authors: Rzepka Marcin 
Published: April 2019

Działalność sióstr należących do Society of the Sisters of Bethany w Persji wśród Asyryjczyków w latach 1890–1898 stanowiła część szerszego przedsięwzięcia misyjnego realizowanego pod auspicjami arcybiskupa Canterbury – The Archbishop of Canterbury’s Mission to the Assyrian Christians. Celem misji było wsparcie Asyryjskiego Kościoła Wschodu poprzez promocję edukacji oraz druk ksiąg liturgicznych. Artykuł, przedstawiając okoliczności wysłania sióstr, skupia się na wymiarze edukacyjnym prowadzonej przez nie działalności, ukazuje przy tym odmienność i unikatowość prowadzonych działań na tle prezbiteriańskich i katolickich inicjatyw misyjnych podejmowanych wśród ludności asyryjskiej w tym czasie.
O niektórych uchybieniach legislacyjnych w nowym statucie Uniwersytetu Papieskiego Jana Pawła II w Krakowie
Authors: Kroczek Piotr 
Published: April 2019

Prawodawstwo jest sztuką. Wymaga ona ogromnej wiedzy na temat zasady prawa, ale także znajomości techniki redagowania aktów prawnych. Ze względu na szczególne znaczenie prawa w Kościele, każdy prawodawca kościelny musi dołożyć wszelkich starań, aby należycie wykonywać swoją pracę. Krytyka wyników jego działalności powinna być zawsze postrzegana jako wyraz szczerej troski o Kościół. W perspektywie technik legislacyjnych w niniejszym artykule przedstawiono analizę nowego statutu Uniwersytetu Papieskiego Jana Pawła II w Krakowie, który wszedł w życie 8 czerwca 2015 roku. Ogólny wniosek z rozważań jest taki, że statut, o którym mowa, został napisany bez większego poszanowania zasad dobrego prawodawstwa i powinien zostać wkrótce zmieniony.
Regulacja prawna zaręczyn w Polsce
Authors: Szponder Robert 
Published: April 2019

W polskim systemie prawnym instytucja zaręczyn była regulowane niezależnie od siebie zarówno w prawie cywilnym, jak i kanonicznym. W prawie cywilnym były początkowo instytucją prawa zwyczajowego. W obcych porządkach prawnych obowiązujących na terytorium Polski w wieku XIX i pierwszej połowie wieku XX instytucja zaręczyn znalazła się w większości kodeksów. Regulacje te chroniły swobodę zawarcia małżeństwa, różne natomiast mogły być skutki majątkowe. Dopiero po drugiej wojnie światowej w Polsce udało się stworzyć własne prawo małżeńskie, które przez kilka lat obejmowało także zaręczyny. W prawie kanonicznym przez długi okres nie było jednolitych przepisów w odniesieniu do zaręczyn. Na początku XX wieku wprowadzono wymogi dotyczące prawnej formy zaręczyn. Przepisy te nie przetrwały jednak do czasów współczesnych.
