Introduction.The local delivery of therapeutic antibiotic concentrations to the zone of surgical intervention in bone pathology enables either to prevent or significantly decrease the rate of osteomyelitis development. It that study the efficacy of vancomycin inclusion and release from three dimensional constructors based on sodium alginate, gelatin and octacalcium phosphate and vancomycin intended for bone defect substitution was studied.Materials and methods. Prototyping of 3D constructors was performed by extrusion 3D printing. Various concentrations of vancomycin were added as an additional component at the stage of preparation of hydrogel (“ink”) for printing. Physical testing of the constructors included electron microscopic evaluation of their microstructure and porosity as well as the study of mechanical strength for compression and stretching. Functional activity of printed constructors with respect to the test strain S. aureus ATCC 6538-P was assessed by a disc-diffusion method in vitro and on the model of infected excision skin wound in rats -in vivo.Results. Analysis of the kinetic curves showed that the principal release of the drug in the model liquid took place within the first day. The total volume of the bound and released vancomycin made up approximately 20% of the calculated initial amount for all three concentrations. Formation of the marked growth inhibition zone of S. aureus strain in presence of vancomycin rich constructors was demonstrated in vitro. Insertion of constructors into the zone of infected skin defect resulted in a decrease of inflammatory processes severity and rate as well as accelerated the terms of complete wound healing.Conclusion. Study results showed the principle potentiality of bone substituting implants 3D-printing using multicomponent hydrogel compositions without change of separate components characteristics.

Purpose of study: based on the analysis of clinical and radiation data to determine the most favorable positioning of the bone tunnels at different techniques of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.Study design: retrospective analysis.Patients and methods. Face-to-face and a remote examination was performed in 202 patients at terms from 1.5 to 5 years after primary ACL autoplasty using the graft from the popliteal muscle tendons. All patients were divided into 3 groups depending on the technique of the bone tunnels formation. The patients from the 1stgroup (n=109) were operated on using transtibial technique, from the 2nd(n=52) and 3rd(n=41) groups – using anteromedial technique with the positioning of the femoral tunnel in the central and anteromedial part of ACL attachment, respectively. Bone tunnels positioning was determined using CT with 3D reconstruction. Subjective evaluation was performed by IKDS-2000, KOOS and Lysholm knee score. To assess the tibiofemoral dislocation the anterior drawer, Lachman and pivot shift tests as well as arthrometry (comparison with the healthy side) were performed.Results.In patients from group 1 the tibial tunnel was positioned in the plane of either central or posterolateral part of ACL attachment. In groups 2 and 3 the tunnel was positioned closer to the anteromedial part. In the majority of patients form group 1 the femoral tunnel was positioned in the zone or slightly forwards of the anteromedial part of ACL femoral attachment, in group 2 – in the plane of central or posterolateral part, in group 3 – in the anteromedial part. In patients from the 1st and 2nd groups the subjective evaluation by IKDS-2000, KOOS and Lysholm knee score was comparable and much higher in the 3rdgroup (p<0.05). Objective evaluation showed positive manual tests results in 47 patients (62%) from the 1st group, 19 patients (51%) – 2ndgroup and 4 patients (11%) – 3rdgroup. Arthrometry showed the increase of anteroposterior tibiofemoral dislocation by 3.4±2.6 mm in the 1st group, 3.1±2.7 mm in the 2nd group and 1.2±1.4 mm. Statistical analysis did not reveal significant difference in knee stability between the patients from the 1stand 2ndgroups.Conclusion.Positioning of the femoral tunnel in the plane of anteromedial part of ACL attachment ensures better surgical treatment functional results. In anteromedial technique the use of posterosuperior contour of the lateral femoral condyle as a reference point enables to improve the accuracy of femoral tunnel positioning as well as to minimize the error risk at intraoperative marking.

Published: October 2018

The analysis of regulations in the field of labour safety and risks management was conducted. Several systemic methodological problems relevant to labour safety management system were identified. The main problems, complicating the realization of occupational risks management process are: uncertainty of purposes, complication of realization procedure and absence of tools for its optimization. To eliminate these problems optimal method of occupational risks management, based on mathematical models, was developed and proposed. Results of this study prove that the models should include indexes relatedto expenditures on occupational safety and also to harmful factors and their influence on an employee. The proposed models can be concidered as two optimization tasks, aiming at maximization of employee's safety together with the minimization of expenditures on occupational safety. These tasks are related to the convex programming and can be solved both with numerical methods and with the using of the standard MS Excel programme pack.

Periglaziäre, polygonal-verzweigte rinnenförmige Bildungen und glazitektonische Strukturen in Saale-Till am Elbe-Urstomtalrand bei Wedel (Schleswig-Holstein)
Authors: Grube Alf 
Published: October 2018

Abstract. Während der Sanierung eines Raffineriegeländes in Wedel / Holstein wurden im Jahre 2008 auffällige Strukturen beobachtet. Die in Aufsicht polygonal verzweigten, rinnenartigen Strukturen sind in einen bindigen und kalkreichen, saalezeitlichen Till der Niendorf-Formation eingeschnitten und im Querschnitt symmetrisch halbkreisförmig ausgebildet. Die polygenetisch entstandenen Strukturen sind mit kalkhaltigen, schluffigen Sanden gefüllt, die als umgelagerter Till mit aus den hangenden Sanden vermischtem Material bzw. äolischen Komponenten interpretiert werden können. Die Breite der Strukturen beträgt ca. 0,3 bis 1,5 m, die Tiefe bis zu ca. 0,8 m. Bis zu mehr als 10 m lange Risse, als schmale Bänder rötlich gefärbter Sande ausgebildet, sind oft zentral in den o. g. rinnenartigen Strukturen positioniert. Die rötliche Färbung ist auf anthropogene Verunreinigung zurückzuführen. Diese Bänder reichen bis auf die Sohle der rinnenartigen Formen. An der Unterseite der Rinnenstrukturen setzen häufig glazitektonisch angelegte Klüfte an, die bis zu wenige Zentimeter breit sind und über mehrere Meter Tiefe bis an die Sohle der Auskofferung zu verfolgen waren. Die Genese der Strukturen, die einen möglichen Zusammenhang der rinnenartigen Strukturen mit dem glazitektonischen Kluftnetz bzw. den vermuteten paläohydrogeologischen Verhältnissen einschließt, wird diskutiert.
First 36Cl exposure ages from a moraine in the Northern Calcareous Alps

Published: October 2018

Abstract. Ein gut erhaltenes Moränensystem in der Mieminger Kette (österreichische nördliche Kalkalpen) stellt einen geomorphologischen Nachweis eines vergangenen Gletschervorstoßes dar, der deutlich weiter reichte als die spätere Vergletscherung der „Kleinen Eiszeit“. Der rekonstruierte Paläogletscher lässt auf eine Erniedrigung der Gleichgewichtslinie von -70 bis -120 m schließen, während Blöcke auf der Moräne mit 36Cl auf das frühe Holozän (~10,4 ka) datiert wurden. Somit erfolgte der Gletschervorstoß höchstwahrscheinlich in einer gletscherfreundlichen Klimaphase während des Präboreals. Auf der inneren Seite der Moräne, im Bereich der ehemaligen Gletscherzunge, wurden weitere Blöcke auf hügeligem Moränenmaterial datiert, die wesentlich jüngere Alter um ungefähr 9 ka aufweisen. In Verbindung mit mehreren fossilen Blockgletschern im Kar, die sich nach dem Gletschervorstoß bildeten, deuten diese Alter auf eine längere Phase instabiler Bedingungen hin. Diese ist möglicherweise durch die Bildung von diskontinuierlichem Permafrost und periglaziale Prozesse im Kar zu erklären. All jene Formen liegen deutlich oberhalb einer Abfolge von Ufermoränensegmenten, die in Verbindung mit dem „Egesenstadial“ (Jüngere Dryas Kaltphase) stehen. Die 36Cl Alter, die hier vorgestellt werden, sind die ersten Expositionsalter von einer Moräne in den Nordalpen und bilden einen ersten Baustein für die Erarbeitung einer numerisch datierten Moränenchronologie für diese Alpenregion.
QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube in Saudi Arabia benchmarked with other sites of the Middle East: A meta-analysis review
Authors: Al-Ghafli Hawra , Al-Hajoj Sahal 
Published: October 2018

Introduction: Screening for Latent Tuberculosis Infections (LTBI) constitutes a key step in health surveillance programs especially among adults of high-risk groups. To our knowledge, this is the first systematic and meta-analysis review that aims to critically assess and compare the agreement of QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT-GIT) and Tuberculin Skin Testing (TST) among adults of high-risk groups in Saudi Arabia and compare results with other sites of the Middle East.
Methodology: Kappa estimates were meta-analyzed using random effect model and several subgroup analyzes were performed to explain overall heterogeneity. Funnel plot, Begg’s and Egger’s tests were employed to assess overall publication bias.
Results: 18 studies were meta-analyzed, comprising 5070 adults of high-risk groups. Pooled kappa estimates from Saudi Arabia (κ = 0.29, 95% CI: 0.16, 0.41) showed lower rate of agreement compared to other sites of the Middle East (κ = 0.33, 95% CI: 0.25, 0.41). However, a significant level of heterogeneity (I2 = 96.7%, p > 0.001) were identified across collected evidence. Begg’s and Egger’s tests confirmed absence of significant publication bias in this review (p = 0.49 and p = 0.16, respectively).
Conclusion: This work revealed fair to poor agreement between TST and QFT-GIT, indicating that these two tests are not interchangeable in such settings. Substantial evidence is still needed before considering the sole use of QFT-GIT as an alternative to TST in these populations. Moreover, there is an urgent need for longitudinal studies in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East to accurately assess precision of LTBI diagnosis.
Determinants of adherence to tuberculosis treatment in Iranian patients: Application of health belief model
Authors: Azizi Nemat , Karimy Mahmood , Salahshour Vahid Naseri 
Published: October 2018

Introduction: Adherence to TB treatment is an important issue for TB control, with key health consequences. Identification of the factors associated with that adherence is also important. The objective of this study was to identify factors associated with adherence to tuberculosis treatment, using the health belief model (HBM).
Methodology: Overall 297 TB patients were recruited to the study using the census method. All patients completed a 40-question survey form anonymously. The questionnaire was developed based on the Health Belief Model. Data collection was carried out through interviews and questionnaires, as well as observing medical records and medical cards to be used in medical performance checklists.
Results: The participants comprised 159 men and 138 women with an average age of 56.8 years (range 19-72 years). The results showed that the variables of perceived threat, benefits, barriers, and self-efficacy accounted for 42% of the variance in therapeutic adherence. The strongest predictor of adherence was found to be self-efficacy.
Conclusion: HBM appears to be a suitable model in predicting therapeutic adherence in TB patients. Our results emphasize the centrality of self-efficacy in treatment adherence, that health educators should consider when developing programs to motivate patients to adhere to treatment.
Ontologie et logique à Byzance. Photius I er de Constantinople et la distinction entre les termes « homme » et « humanité »
Authors: Erismann Christophe 
Published: October 2018

Le penseur byzantin du neuvième siècle Photius a consacré plusieurs courts traités à la question catégoriale, commentant neuf des dix catégories aristotéliciennes une à une. Il est aussi revenu dans deux courts textes – les Amphilochia 27 et 230 – sur la question de la prédication. Il s’interroge dans ces deux traités sur le mode de prédication propre aux termes « homme » et « humanité », analysant notamment le référent de ces termes. Ces réflexions contiennent plusieurs thèses significatives de son ontologie particulariste.
Le travail de l’Homme-machine et les promesses d’abondance
Authors: Jorda Henri 
Published: October 2018

À partir du xix e siècle, la machine permet de rêver d’une société où personne ne manque de rien, où l’automatisation rend le travail moins pénible et fait disparaître les tâches les plus serviles. Ce monde, imaginé par Andrew Ure dès les années 1830 et par Norbert Wiener dans les années 1950, n’est pas celui de l’organisation capitaliste du travail où l’Homme-machine est destiné à être un rouage efficace, condamné à travailler toujours plus vite dans le respect des procédures. Ainsi, l’Homme-machine contient des promesses d’abondance, mais engage aussi des mécanismes de savoir et de pouvoir, et une autre promesse énoncée par Foucault, celle de l’effacement de l’humanité, quand la mécanisation des êtres ne concerne plus seulement leur corps mais leurs décisions.

Pour le développement d’une linguistique ergonomique : l’exemple des langues contrôlées
Authors: Condamines Anne 
Published: October 2018

Cet article vise à définir la linguistique ergonomique comme un domaine de la linguistique qui, en s’appuyant sur l’expérience de l’ergonomie, cherche à répondre à des besoins spécifiques, tout en mettant en œuvre une approche scientifique. Le concept d’utilisabilité, central en ergonomie car il place l’humain au cœur des besoins, est particulièrement adapté à la perspective de la linguistique ergonomique. Afin de mettre en œuvre cette branche de la linguistique au travail, nous proposons, d’une part, de baser les études sur des corpus (usage réel de la langue, en situation), et, d’autre part, de mettre en place des tests pour évaluer la pertinence des propositions de « normalisation » qui sont faites. Nous focalisons notre intérêt sur l’évaluation et la constitution des langues contrôlées, qui sont considérées comme une des façons de limiter les risques liés à l’utilisation de la langue dans les organisations. Trois études réalisées dans les domaines de de l’aéronautique et de l’espace et prenant pour objet la question des langues contrô­lées sont présentées. Elles permettent d’aborder différents aspects de l’utilisabilité des langues contrôlées.
A literary figure or patriarchal reality? Reflections on the ‘ēšet hayil in light of depictions of womanhood from selected Yorùbá and Sotho proverbs
Authors: Masenya Madipoane 
Published: October 2018

In varying Jewish and African contexts (cf. the Yorùbá and Sotho in the present essay), the ‘ēšet hayil is regarded as a historical figure who should serve as a model for women both young and old. As an organic scholar within an African context, I am both fascinated and also challenged by how biblical notions of gender and womanhood, as portrayed in the paean on the ‘ēšet hayil in Proverbs 31:10–31, seem to be at variance with notions of gender and womanhood as depicted in some Yorùbá and Sotho proverbs. Noting the emphasis in Proverbs 31:10–31 on the positive image of the ‘ēšet hayil as the ideal wife, this article shows that overall, in the African proverbs, the woman is depicted positively as a mother, though many proverbs (cf. especially the Yorùbá proverbs) cast the woman as a wife in a negative light. It is argued that the epitome of womanhood, which in Proverbs 31:10–31 is the ideal wife, appears to stand in tension with the image of a good mother and of a bad wife observed in some of the African proverbs. This article therefore focuses on the kind of gender- and family-conscious hermeneutic that may be envisioned when Proverbs 31:10–31 is read in the Yorùbá and Sotho contexts.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: The research carried out in this article entails Old Testament Studies, Gender Studies and African Languages. Sotho and Yorùbá proverbs on womanhood are used as a hermeneutical lens to interrogate the text of Proverbs 31:10–31, resulting in fresh insights on womanhood. The resultant output makes a needed contribution in challenging patriarchal ideologies and contexts.
