Hanging and asphyxia: Interventions, patient outcomes and resource utilisation in a UK tertiary intensive care unit
Authors: Sutcliffe William JC , Saayman Anton G 
Published: December 2017

Introduction Suicide is increasing in the UK, and hanging is now the commonest mechanism. United Kingdom intensive care unit outcomes (including organ donation) after hanging have not been reported. Methods Retrospective analysis of cases admitted to a UK tertiary intensive care unit with a primary or secondary diagnosis of hanging/asphyxia. Case analysis divided between those with and without a history of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and outcomes described using the cerebral performance category score. Results A total of 33 cases were reviewed, 19 with a history of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (three survivors with cerebral performance category of 1–2), 14 without history of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (14 survivors, 11 cerebral performance category score of 1, 3 cerebral performance category score of 3). Three cases went on to have a good neurological outcome with a cerebral performance category score of one, and 16 died. The three survivors only had bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation and cardiac arrest was not independently confirmed. All three had a good neurological recovery despite two having hypoxic–ischaemic encephalopathy on computed tomography head. Of the three survivors, one received no temperature management and two received targeted temperature management. Median intensive care unit length of stay after hanging with cardiopulmonary resuscitation was 3.0 days (2.4–6.7 days). Fifteen patients were discussed with the organ donation specialist nurse, with six consenting to donation and six declining consent, with 18 solid organs donated. All 14 of those without a history of cardiopulmonary resuscitation survived, 11 with a cerebral performance category score of 1 and three having a cerebral performance category score of 3. No patients received active temperature management. Median intensive care unit length of stay in this group was 2.9 days (1.2–3.8). Conclusions Outcomes after confirmed cardiac arrest following hanging are poor, in keeping with existing international data, even in those surviving to intensive care unit admission. Despite low rates of consent to organ donation, the overall organ donation is high due to high referral rates. Despite the poor prognosis in this population, early initiation of full resuscitation should be offered to optimise survival and facilitate the possibility of donation.

Authors: Lapner Peter L. C. , Hynes Kelly , Sheikh Adnan 
Published: December 2017

Background Establishing the diagnosis of peri-prosthetic shoulder infection prior to revision shoulder arthroplasty can be difficult. The objectives of the present study were (i) to describe the technique of fluoroscopic capsular needle biopsy for the diagnosis of peri-prosthetic shoulder infection and (ii) to determine the feasibility and preliminary accuracy of the test in a pilot sample of patients undergoing revision shoulder arthroplasty. Methods Eighteen patients, comprising eight females and nine males with a mean age of 61 years (range 37 years to 81 years) underwent capsular needle biopsy during the work-up of suspected chronic arthroplasty-related glenohumeral infection. Intra-operative tissue samples were taken from a minimum of three regions of the joint capsule during revision surgery. Standard serum indices were obtained. Results Of 17 patients with possible infection, five had confirmed culture positive infections based on intra-operative biopsies. Of these five patients, four (80%) had positive cultures from fluoroscopic capsular needle biopsy, with matching cultures. There were no complications. No culture-positive patients had elevated serum indices for infection. Conclusions The technique for fluoroscopic capsular needle biopsy appears to be feasible and the preliminary results for this technique appear to be promising, with a sensitivity of 80% and a specificity of 100%.

隋唐人物信仰价值补论——以墓志石刻文字为线索
Authors: 臧克和  
Published: December 2017

摘要 碑板中之墓志文字，走向夸饰套路，词肥义瘠，向为金石文史家所诟病。所采取者，唯地理职官制度数项而已。其实，方当盖棺定论之际，一生功名事业取舍，价值倾向攸关。社会崇尚，风气煽被，当时习而相忘，文献忽焉不察者，往往集中流露于此。 隋唐社会，于家世人生，毋论生前阀阅显赫、文治武功，属当盖棺定论之际，所取态度，多为“朝市心违、山林志毕”。如此信仰取舍，文学史上以“魏晋风度”相标榜的魏晋南北朝同类石刻文献,尚未习见惯道;至于隋唐以降五代时期,则尤属罕睹。如此选择方式，从精神渊源看，或以为古代上流社会某类优雅生活态度之孑遗；而就人生程途论，以入世始，以出世终，世出世间法，有当于心行张弛有常、始张终弛之道。此乃天道循环之周期定数，抑亦人生程途之辙迹，契合隋唐之际儒道释中土交融之实际，与从《诗经》时代就盛行的“无竞”核心价值观念，存在一脉相承的线索。 依托“魏晋南北朝隋唐五代石刻历时语料库”，调查大量出土材料，统计某些高频语用现象，尝试分类对照，考察隋唐人生“少壮进用事功，迟暮退归隐逸”之价值信仰模式。
秦始皇刻石新考
Authors: 何 崝  
Published: December 2017

摘要 《史记》所记载秦始皇刻石六处七石之外，其他文献尚记载有赣榆秦始皇碑及朐山秦始皇碑，本文考证此二碑实为一碑。此碑已亡佚，而其碑文赖汉代应劭《风俗通》得以保存，惟应氏误以为此碑文为“古之封禅文”，今乃考定此“封禅文”即赣榆秦始皇碑之碑文。故《史记》所载秦始皇七刻石併此碑当为八刻石。 琅邪刻石颂辞之后“维秦王兼有天下”以下 208 字之“附记”，经本文考定，在秦始皇时曾全刻于石上，至二世时乃铲去“杨樛”以下文字刻其诏书于其上。至此，琅邪刻石之形制乃可确知。至于茅山刻石（即句曲刻石），乃文献误记，始皇实无刻璧之事，然埋璧祀神事则有之。至于始皇刻和氏璧为“传国玺”之说，悠谬无据，以作里巷闲谈视之可耳。

Comparison of transformer modeling on riser pole arresters behavior during switching transients
Authors: Abbaszadeh Amir , Abedi Mehrdad , Doustmohammadi Ali 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Arresters are widely used in power systems to protect other equipment against overvoltages. However, in some conditions, they can’t operate successfully. One of the disturbances leading to the failure of the riser pole arresters is the ferroresonance overvoltages. In this paper, at first the influence of different transformer simulation models of ATP software on the occurrence of ferroresonance is studied and then the effect of ferroresonance on the riser pole arrester has been scrutinized through the thermal and electrical performance of the arrester in an underground distribution system. The results show that the arrester temperature rises due to energy dissipation in a ferroresonance circumstance, which indeed may result into the explosion of the arrester. Also, applying different models of the transformer in the ATP software and comparing the results, it is shown that the available models do not show the same effect on the arrester.
Comparing simulation results of a structure defined mathematical model of aircraft
Authors: Kvasnica Peter 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
This paper is focused on creation, accuracy and simulation of 2-parameter control of a mathematical model for motion of aircraft in a flying simulator. We are discussing many of important advances in applied aircraft modeling. Modelling on various computer architectures (central, parallel, distributed) has an impact on a structure of a simulator system of aircraft. The way of description of a numerical method and its accuracy, a shared memory system and a distributed memory system, is an important part. Necessary accuracy of implemented simulation methods, an analytical approach to definition of mathematical models, and corresponding simulation implementation architecttures are presented in the article.
Die Juden in den Rechtssammlungen Burchards von Worms und Ivos von Chartres
Authors: Lotter Friedrich 
Published: December 2017

Abstract:The essay assesses all the regulations in these collections that relate directly or indirectly to Jews, dividing them into four topic-based groups (protection and toleration; the mission of the Jews; proselytism; reduction of rights and condemnation) each with further subdivisions. This provides a solid foundation for comparing the treatment of Jews advocated by Burchard and Ivo, as well as for comparing their propositions with those of other canon law collections. Since older systematic canonical regulations for Jews apparently did not serve as immediate examples for either Burchard or Ivo, whereas the latter had an influence on Gratian, it can be assumed that Burchard’s collection formed the beginning of a direct line of canon law developments for Jews. If we compare Burchard’s and Ivo’s regulations we notice a clear negative progression in the treatment of Jews between the former and the latter, even though Ivo, in principle, also advocated the protection of Jews. With either it becomes apparent, however, that the great majority of the later canonical regulations for Jews trace back to the distant past. Moreover, the comparison of Ivo’s
A Survey on Identifying and Addressing Business Analysis Problems
Authors: Jarzębowicz Aleksander , Marciniak Piotr 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Despite the growing body of knowledge on requirements engineering and business analysis, these areas of software project are still considered problematic. The paper focuses on problems reported by business analysts and on applicability of available business analysis techniques as solutions to such problems. A unified set of techniques was developed on the basis of 3 industrial standards associated with IIBA, REQB and IREB certification schemes. A group of 8 business analysts was surveyed to list problems they encounter in their work and to assess their frequency. Selected problems were further analyzed and most suitable techniques were proposed to address them. These proposals were validated through follow-up discussions with business analysts. The main results of research reported in this paper are: the comparative analysis of techniques included in IIBA, REQB and IREB standards and the list of problems reported by practitioners associated with techniques suggested as effective solutions.
Sworn translators in the legal context: A field of confluence between translation and interpreting
Authors: Luque Francisca García 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
As one of the most touristic areas in Spain, the Costa del Sol has a considerable percentage of foreign residents, both temporary and permanent. This leads to a demand for translation and interpretation services, especially with respects to tourism. Permanent residents of Malaga often require linguistic or cultural mediation. Depending on the nature of the situation, these services may be provided by either translators or interpreters or, in some instances, such as medical appointments and other daily activities, a non-professional translation or interpretation is often the adopted solution. However, in the legal field circumstances are different due to the fact that some written documents require a specific type of translation for administrative procedures. In this case, a professional figure known as the ‘sworn translator’ (traductor-intérprete jurado) necessarily comes into play. The official name of this professional has recently been changed (2009) from intérprete jurado (literally “sworn interpreter”) to traductor-intérprete jurado (literally “sworn translator and interpreter”). Before this legal modification solely the interpreting activity was mentioned while, paradoxically, the tasks performed were mainly related to translation, especially in the legal field. Although academia seems to separate translation and interpreting into two different professions, this paper aims to explore the figure of the sworn translator and interpreter, in line with the new name established in the legal decree, as a field of confluence between these two activities which, as we will see, are not always mutually exclusive.

Abstract
Xylocopa valga, commonly called the carpenter bee and the largest bee with metallicviolet hair cover, is extremely rarely observed in Poland. We hypothesize that a stable and possibly long-term population of X. valga can be maintained in Poland through the creation of suitable nesting conditions. X. valga has been observed since the spring of 2014 in Wisznice (south-eastern Poland). A nesting box made out of 25 wooden blocks with drilled holes was hung about 2.5 meters above the ground. X. valga were interested in the blocks made of willow wood but did not nest in the beech, alder and pine. The carpenter bees chose holes made with drill bits of 10, 15, 20 mm in diameter and a length of 10, 15 and 20 cm. X. valga flying in the same direction most often visited the flora taxa: Aquilegia vulgaris, Ballota nigra, Consolida ajacis, Delphinium consolida, Deutzia scabra, Catalpa spp., Wisteria spp., Robinia ambigua, Stachys spp. and Trifolium pretense. X. valga is a solitary bee, but unlike most other solitary bees it demonstrates aspects of social behavior. It was observed to display cohabitative behavior involving the use of a single hole by more than one female. The females showed aggressive defensive behavior and if approached too closely started buzzing loudly. The information obtained during the long-term observation shows that X. valga can be maintained in partly artificial conditions to increase and stabilize the bee population.
The Effects of Starvation of Honey Bee Larvae on Reproductive Quality and Wing Asymmetry of Honey Bee Drones
Authors: Szentgyörgyi Hajnalka , Czekońska Krystyna , Tofilski Adam 
Published: December 2017

Summary
Starvation during larval development has a negative effect on adult worker honey bees (Apis mellifera L.), but much less is known about the quality of drones starved during their development. We verified how starvation on the second day (early starvation) or the sixth day (late starvation) of larval development affects body mass, ejaculated semen volume and forewing size, shape, size asymmetry and shape asymmetry in drones after emergence. The larvae were starved for ten hours by being separated from nursing bees with a wire mash for 10 hours either early or late during larval development. Drones starved both early and late were smaller (254.1 ± 1.97 mg and 239.4 ± 2.12 mg, respectively) than the control regularly fed individuals (260.9 ± 2.01 mg), and their wing size changed as well (control: 889.76 ± 1.06; early: 880.9 ± 1.17; late: 868.05 ± 1.48). Starvation at a later phase of larval development caused more pronounced effects than at an earlier phase. On the other hand, ejaculated semen volume (control: 0.7 ± 0.043 μl; early: 0.88 ± 0.040 μl; late: 1.08 ± 0.031 μl), wing size asymmetry (control: 0.49 ± 0.025; early: 0.51 ± 0.026; late: 0.52 ± 0.03) and wing shape asymmetry (control: 17.4 ± 0.47 x 10-3; early: 16.9 ± 0.41 x 10-3; late: 17.6 ± 0.43 x 10-3) were not affected by starvation. This suggests that drones attempt to preserve characters which are important for their future reproduction.
Media Choice Proliferation and Shifting Orientations Towards News in the United States and Norway, 1995–2012
Authors: Elvestad Eiri , Shaker Lee 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Around the world, rapid media choice proliferation is empowering audiences and allowing individuals to more precisely tailor personal media use. From a democratic perspective, the relationship between the changing media environment and news use is of particular interest. This article presents a comparative exploration of citizens’ changing orientations towards local, national and international news in two very different countries, Norway and the United States, between 1995 and 2012. Prior research suggests that more media choice correlates with a decrease in news consumption. Our analysis shows a pattern of increasing specialization in news orientation in both countries. We also find that the strongest Norwegian trend is one of specialization while the strongest trend in the United States is one of disconnection. Altogether, the results illustrate how local conditions shape the effects of global technological developments.
The Use of the Kano Model to Enhance Customer Satisfaction
Authors: Južnik Rotar Laura , Kozar Mitja 
Published: December 2017

Abstract

Background/purpose: The interest of measuring customer satisfaction is reflected in its ability to gain customer loyalty, enhance favourable word of mouth, lead to repeat purchases and improve a company’s market share and profitability. The issue of integrating the Kano model of customer satisfaction with other models and tools to support development or improvement of a product, or to determine market strategies, is relatively unexplored in the Slovenian sector. This research aims to construct the Kano model in order to enhance customer satisfaction in the case of home appliances.

Design/Methodology/Approach: Data was collected using an online survey amongst randomly selected individuals from the service interventions for an end users database. Principal component factor analysis was first used to identify the underlying factors of home appliance characteristics. In the next phase we calculated the derived and stated importance of customer satisfaction, which was then used to construct the Kano model of customer satisfaction. We further analysed which factors are the strongest drivers, or predictors, of repeat purchase using multiple regression analysis.

Results: In the study we identified the underlying home appliance factors. The results show that these factors are: sales environment, price, user features, design features and technical features. The results were then used to construct the Kano model where the analysis goes beyond the qualitative analysis by implementing two approaches, stated and derived importance approach. According to the Kano model, marketers should concentrate on delight characteristics such as: wider knowledge of the salesperson, professional skills of the salesperson, design of home appliance, brand of home appliance. What is more, factors called ‘user features’ are the strongest predictors of repeat purchase.

Conclusion: This paper links the Kano model with measuring customer satisfaction and presents a contribution for marketing research theory. Therefore, the results could be used to support optimization of business decision-making, as well as for further scientific research.

Published: December 2017

AbstractEffects of swirling secondary flow on the decay characteristics of non-circular under-expanded supersonic primary jets were experimentally studied. Primary jet is issuing from a convergent-divergent nozzle with different exit geometry such as circle, cruciform, triangle and rectangle. In this study, two different methods were used to impart swirl on the secondary flow as follows, (i) introduction of- angular vanes inside the secondary flow duct and (ii) using tangential inlets at the secondary flow duct. This swirling secondary flow influences the boundary condition of the primary jet and results in reduction of jet core length and shock train length, it also enhances the jet decay rate. Maximum shock train length reduction of 70 % is achieved when swirling secondary flow (tangential injection method) is introduced over the circular primary jet.
A Strategy for Inspection of Cracks in a Thick Structure Using an ECT Probe

Published: December 2017

Abstract
A strategy for enhancing the inspection precision of cracks in a thick structure is proposed. The key problem of inspection of cracks in a thick structure is the penetration depth of eddy currents. Using lower frequency to drive the probe can overcome it, but too low frequency will cause too small signal to noise ratio and inspection sensitivity. To solve these problems, effects of frequency, inspection mode, and probe type on eddy current testing signals were studied. At last, an effective strategy for inspection of cracks in a thick structure was proposed.
Introducción del tema huella hídrica en la enseñanza de ciencias: Percepciones y perspectivas de los cambios desde el aula
Authors: Ferreira da Luz Culpi Vera Lúcia , Pereira Alves João Amadeus 
Published: December 2017

La inclusión de discusiones asociadas al consumo de agua en las clases de Ciencias marca la necesidad de contextualización y ampliación de este tema, direccionándolo a abordajes más actualizados, frente a la actual crisis hídrica de Brasil y de varios otros países, de manera que se promuevan discusiones más profundas en el contexto educacional, con ejemplo de enfoques que tomen en cuenta la huella hídrica. El presente artículo se refiere a una investigación cuyo problema central reside en la siguiente cuestión: ¿Cómo la utilización de estrategias didáctico-metodológicas basadas en elementos provenientes de la huella hídrica contribuye a la comprensión de asuntos relacionados con la utilización/destino y preservación del agua por parte de los estudiantes, considerando que la crisis actual compromete este recurso natural? La investigación a nivel de maestría es de naturaleza cualitativa, desarrollada con 35 estudiantes del sexto año de la Ense- ñanza Fundamental en una escuela de Curitiba, estado de Paraná, Brasil. El recorte metodológico es del tipo participante, con la utilización de múltiples recursos para la elaboración de datos. Para estructurar la construcción de tales estrategias se realizó, antes del trabajo en la clase, un estudio de levantamiento sobre cuestiones relativas al agua, especialmente sobre la percepción de los estudiantes ante los niveles de consumo en diferentes contextos (agricultura, industria y por las poblaciones). Eso permitió el diseño de un cuestionario investigativo sobre la forma como los alumnos ven, relacionan y comprenden aspectos relativos a los recursos hídricos. A esto se unió la opción de instrumentos que facilitan la obtención de datos, como: diario de campo, manuscritos de participantes de investigación y grabaciones en audio, cuando se consideraron necesarias en el proceso. En este contexto, el análisis de contenido, propuesto por Laurence Bardin, fue el más apropiado para la apreciación de datos, ya que tal método se refiere a un preanálisis, seguido de exploración del material para el trato de los datos y, por último, su interpretación. Los resultados de la investigación revelan que los estudiantes participantes se han mostrado reflexivos y abiertos a discusiones sobre el contenido tratado, de modo que el uso de reportajes sobre asuntos de carácter socioambiental, publicados en periódicos y revistas, aliado al consumo doméstico pueden configurarse en una importante herramienta para el debate de temas sociocientíficos como en el caso de la actual crisis de los recursos hídricos en Brasil.
