Published: August 2019

AbstractExtensor mechanism disruption following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a devastating complication that causes high failure rates. There is controversy on what is the best way to do an extensor mechanism reconstruction. This study aims to compare both allograft and synthetic reconstructive techniques for success, reoperation, and infection rates and functional outcomes. The search on PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, BIOSIS, and Cochrane databases was performed on March 15, 2019, using the following keyword groups: (1) “extensor mechanism” and “total knee arthroplasty,” (2) “extensor mechanism” and “knee arthroplasty,” (3) “extensor mechanism” and “revision total knee arthroplasty,” and (4) “extensor mechanism” and “revision knee arthroplasty”. Only studies on extensor mechanism disruption after TKA that included sufficient data to compare these two surgical techniques were included. Meta-analysis was performed with random effect model using the DerSimonian–Laird method. Thirty studies were included. The overall success rate of the reconstruction was 73.3% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0. 651, 0.814). The success rate of allograft (72.8%, 95% CI: 0.626, 0.829) was not significantly different from synthetic material (78%, 95% CI: 0.707, 0.852, p = 0.416). There was no significant difference in revision rates between allograft (14.2%, 95% CI: 0.095, 0.189) and synthetic material (16%, 95% CI: 0.096, 0.223, p = 0.657). The overall relative risk of infection was 4.301 (95% CI: 1.885, 9.810). There was no significant difference in relative risk of infection between allograft (3.886, 95% CI: 1.269, 11.903) and synthetic material (4.851, 95% CI: 1.433, 16.419, p = 0.793). No statistically significant difference was found in mean postoperative Knee Society score (73.109 [95% CI: 67.296, 78.922] vs. 72.679 [95% CI: 69.184, 76.173], p = 0.901) between allograft and mesh reconstruction groups. There were no significant differences in overall failures, infections, functional outcomes, or revision reconstructions between allograft and synthetic material extensor mechanism reconstructions. Our results demonstrate the difficulty in treating this serious injury, independent of technique, as well as the significant risk for overall failure and infection.

Diminishing religious cultural heritage of holy Makkah and Medina due to commercialization of the sacred event.
Authors: Qurashi J. 
Published: August 2019

Abstract

This chapter examines the diminishing religious cultural heritage of holy Makkah and Medina in Saudi Arabia due to commercialization of the Hajj. The main focus of this chapter is how mosques and vital historical sites witnessed from the time of the Prophet Muhammad have been demolished, as have Ottoman-era manors and forts, prehistoric wells and stone bridges, including the houses of Sahba (the companions of Prophet Muhammad). The chapter further provides an insight into Hajj and Umrah Ziyara places (religious cultural heritage sites of holy cities), as the majority of Muslim pilgrims during the journey of Hajj and Umrah go for 'Ziyara' to see the religious cultural heritage sites of Makkah and Medina, though Ziyara is not part of the Hajj rites.

Abstract

This chapter determines the influence of physical environment cues at the Mevlâna Museum at Konya in Turkey, in the context of religious tourism. For this case study four main aspects of the physical environment at the Mevlâna religious site were considered: (i) decoration; (ii) ambience; (iii) design; and (iv) layout. Visitors were surveyed as to the effects of these physical environment cues. The findings of the case study are expected to incentivize the museum management about the issues to improve their attractiveness.

Authors: Legget J. , Histen S. 
Published: August 2019

Abstract

This chapter discusses identity issues related to managing existing missionary heritage buildings in order to serve visitors journeying with a sacred purpose. Using a case-study approach to analyse missionary sites in Northland/Bay of Islands, the chapter considers the importance of stakeholder relationships between the indigenous Māori and Pākehā (non-Māori), as New Zealand transitions into a 'Post-Treaty Settlement era'. The chapter further explores how New Zealand heritage tourism has the potential to offer different dimensions of Christian content or experience.
The pilgrim goes to the festival: changes in daily life caused by the pilgrimage to the shrine of Our Lady of the Abadia in Romaria, Brazil.
Authors: Marques L. M. , Silva V. de P. da , Santos J. C. V. 
Published: August 2019

Abstract

This chapter explores the everyday socio-spatial changes motivated and mediated by pilgrimage to religious festivals, using as an example the festival in honour of Our Lady of the Abadia (Our Lady of the Abbey), held annually in the city of Romaria, Minas Gerais, Brazil. It is indicated that the act of pilgrimage alters not only the routine of the residents of the destinations where they are held, but also those who participate in the event as tourists, vow-fulfillers, merchants, etc.; and a multiplicity of subjects, concerns and practices cause the pilgrimage to aggregate the sacred and the profane.
Managing catholic churches and sacred sites for protestant visitors to Malta.
Authors: Munro D. 
Published: August 2019

Abstract

This chapter presents a case study of holy places in Malta. A large segment in the recent growth of faith-based tourism to Malta is represented by Protestant visitors. The majority arrive in Malta to discover the places where St Paul has left traces, while a much smaller number visits with the purpose of reconnecting with the Marian traditions which were discarded by Protestantism. One of the current issues is that there is an urgent need to provide a variation of interpretations of Maltese Roman Catholic churches and traditions in order to reach out and connect to the Protestant visitors and to make Malta's religio-cultural heritage relevant to them. A number of matters which need to be considered in product development, management and education are discussed.
The ancient wisdom and motivation of Shams-i Tabrezi or analogy of contemporary systems science and Shams-i Tabrezi ancient wisdom.
Authors: Jakulin T. J. 
Published: August 2019

Abstract

This chapter reviews some of the wise words of Shams-i Tabrezi (the spiritual instructor of the 13th-century Persian poet and Islamic scholar Jalal al-Din Rumi) and presents them in the language and diagrams of modern systems thinking. The wisdom of Shams-i Tabrezi presents the systems thinking of ancient history, which helped Rumi in his transformation to a poet and Anatolian mystic. It is significant that what systems science recognizes, its statements about life and living systems, confirm what Shams-i Tabrezi's wisdom brought to this world. This is evidence that wisdom from the past does not have time limits.

Abstract

Standard operating procedures and safety protocols are needed in all activities in the nursery. The official standards can vary depending on the country and local regulations, but high standards should be maintained whatever requirements are officially needed. Identification and elimination of hazards and risks, followed by developing specific safety procedures, and procedures for preventing and responding to workplace accidents and injuries are important features in establishing an effective occupational health and safety programme. Guidelines in health and safety issues relating to nursery practices in oil palm are given below.
Iron(II) complexes with N2O2 coordinating Schiff base-like equatorial ligand and 1,2-bis(pyridin-2-ylethynyl)benzene as axial pincer ligand
Authors: Schönfeld Sophie , Lochenie Charles , Hörner Gerald , Weber Birgit 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
Three new unique mononuclear iron(II) pincer complexes were synthesized using 1,2-bis(pyridin-2-ylethynyl)benzene as axially coordinating pincer ligand and N2O2 coordinating Schiff base-like equatorial ligands. Magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal that all three complexes remain in the high spin state throughout the entire temperature range investigated. Reasons for this are restraining sterical interactions revealed in the single crystal x-ray structure analysis and extended DFT-computational studies of one of the pincer complexes. Those interactions also lead to the formation of unexpected side products during the synthesis such as a complex with two ethanol molecules as axial ligand, whose x-ray structure was determined.

Abstract
QuantumATK is an integrated set of atomic-scale modelling tools developed since 2003 by professional software engineers in collaboration with academic researchers. While different aspects and individual modules of the platform have been previously presented, the purpose of this paper is to give a general overview of the platform. The QuantumATK simulation engines enable electronic-structure calculations using density functional theory or tight-binding model Hamiltonians, and also offers bonded or reactive empirical force fields in many different parametrizations. Density functional theory is implemented using either a plane-wave basis or expansion of electronic states in a linear combination of atomic orbitals. The platform includes a long list of advanced modules, including Green’s-function methods for electron transport simulations and surface calculations, first-principles electron-phonon and electron-photon couplings, simulation of atomic-scale heat transport, ion dynamics, spintronics, optical properties of materials, static polarization, and more. Seamless integration of the different simulation engines into a common platform allows for easy combination of different simulation methods into complex workflows. Besides giving a general overview and presenting a number of implementation details not previously published, we also present four different application examples. These are calculations of the phonon-limited mobility of Cu, Ag and Au, electron transport in a gated 2D device, multi-model simulation of lithium ion drift through a battery cathode in an external electric field, and electronic-structure calculations of the composition-dependent band gap of SiGe alloys.
Random walks in non-Poissoinan activity driven temporal networks
Authors: Moinet Antoine , Starnini Michele , Pastor-Satorras Romualdo 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
The interest in non-Markovian dynamics within the complex systems community has recently blossomed, due to a new wealth of time-resolved data pointing out the bursty dynamics of many natural and human interactions, manifested in an inter-event time between consecutive interactions showing a heavy-tailed distribution. In particular, empirical data has shown that the bursty dynamics of temporal networks can have deep consequences on the behavior of the dynamical processes running on top of them. Here, we study the case of random walks, as a paradigm of diffusive processes, unfolding on temporal networks generated by a non-Poissonian activity driven dynamics. We derive analytic expressions for the steady state occupation probability and first passage time distribution in the infinite network size and strong aging limits, showing that the random walk dynamics on non-Markovian networks are fundamentally different from what is observed in Markovian networks. We found a particularly surprising behavior in the limit of diverging average inter-event time, in which the random walker feels the network as homogeneous, even though the activation probability of nodes is heterogeneously distributed. Our results are supported by extensive numerical simulations. We anticipate that our findings may be of interest among the researchers studying non-Markovian dynamics on time-evolving complex topologies.
Effect of the isotope mass on the turbulent transport at the edge of L-mode plasmas in ASDEX Upgrade and JET-ILW
Authors: Bonanomi N. , Angioni C. , Crandall P.C. , Di Siena A. , Maggi C.F. , Schneider P.A. 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
The nature of the turbulent transport in the edge region of ASDEX Upgrade and JET-ILW deuterium (D) and hydrogen (H) L-mode plasmas is studied using local gyro-kinetic simulations. For both devices the turbulence is found to be dominated by an electron drift-wave destabilized by the high collisionality in the plasma edge and strongly related to the kinetic electron dynamics. The isotope ion mass is found to have an important impact on the edge turbulence. In linear simulations, wider eigenfunctions of the electrostatic potential with a lower isotope mass translate in a lower threshold in the normalized electron temperature gradient and in a higher linear growth rate. In non-linear simulations, higher turbulent transport is predicted with a lower isotope mass. The effect of the isotope mass on the turbulent fluxes is enhanced by electromagnetic effects, which are found to be important in non-linear simulations. Remarkably, when considering all the effects in the non-linear simulations and the experimental uncertainties, the predicted fluxes can reproduce the experimental fluxes and their behavior with the isotope mass.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
Job promotion is the best action of a company to improve the progress of the company itself, thus it must be done objectively and responsibly respectfully. There are a number of benchmarks for carrying out the promotion process which as a whole can be recognized as an honorable action for someone selected through this promotion process, in this study called criteria, the benchmark consists of seven criteria that can represent strength that can be recognized based on company provisions. This rule has two understandings that are interpreted differently and are quite difficult for mathematical calculation processes. For criteria that are meaningful and related to time have the meaning that the weight of the smallest value is the best, or different meanings that bear the weight of the greatest value are the best. For this promotion process, a combination of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method and the VIKOR index elimination system is used, both of which have far different functions, namely AHP is intended to determine the preference weighting scale while VIKOR is intended to determine the ranking of each alternative over the alternative. The decision on the outcome of the best promotion is the fifth employee (K5) with a score index of 0.00 and followed sequentially (K2), (K3), (K1), (K4) sequentially with a score index of 0.62; 0.66; 0.75 and 0.93. This result is used as a benchmark for the best decisions.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
Milkfish is a type of fish that lives in fresh water. Caught milkfish will be sorted at fish processing companies and will be a variety of milk, fish products in the form of cooked or in the form of fresh fish. A manual separation system of milkfish often experiences errors in the separation of fish species so that it takes a long time in the process of separating these types of fish, because it is very dependent on the skills of employees or employees. Errors in the separation of milkfish based on their size will cause a failure in the production section because it will affect the difference in the maturity level of a product, which will result in errors in the process of cooking the fish, which has an impact on the loss in the financial sector of a company. In order to maintain the quality of milkfish and speed up the sorting of milkfish, it is necessary to create a system that can help workers and employers in distinguishing the quality of milkfish based on their size. So the writer will create a system “Image Quality Classification of Milkfish Using Fuzzy K-Nearest Neighbor Method Based on Descriptors of Forms and Co-occurrence Testing was carried out using 45 images of milk fish. From the test results based on the shape feature and the co-assurance matrix produces 100%, which is in accordance with the form feature requirements and the co-insurance matrix as the reference data.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
This paper presents of a material procurement model for multi-item single supplier material considering the life time and minimum order quantity. Procurement of several types of material (multi items) is carried out simultaneously from one supplier with consideration of the savings in ordering costs. The problem is when the order must be performed simultaneously, and how much material must be ordered to obtain a minimum total cost. The cost variables considered in this model are purchase costs, ordering costs, storage costs, and expired cost. This modeling was inspired by a real case found in a manufacturing company located in Bandung. Facts in the field show there were frequently waste due to material has expired. This happens because the material age is relatively short, while the order size must follow the minimum quantity stipulated by the vendor or supplier. Until now the authors have not found a model which fits to this case. However the authors found several articles which have similarities to, and the authors made it as comparison. The developed model departs from the basic model which be developed by several experts. The author modified little bit by adding the cost variable such as the expired cost. Then the authors engaged the model with completely algorithm. This model is a continuation of the single item model developed by Arifin D, and Charisma C, which has been presented and published in the IEOM Conference Proceedings 2018.
