Cervantes and Don Quixote de la Mancha
Authors: Oyebode Femi 
Published: November 2016

SummaryMiguel de Cervantes, the most influential writer in Spanish literature, created two of the most recognisable fictional characters, Don Quixote de la Mancha and Sancho Panza, in 1605. His novel The Ingenious Hidalgo Don Quixote de la Mancha is regarded as the first modern novel and first international best seller. This article, in the 400th anniversary year of Cervantes' death, introduces Cervantes' biography, discusses the enduring features of his classic novel and explores the value and importance of the novel for psychiatry.

SummaryUp to 40% of people with depression do not recover following standard treatments such as medication and psychotherapy. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a treatment used worldwide for adult patients with severe clinical depression when antidepressants have repeatedly failed to control their symptoms. This article explains the use of TMS in clinical practice.
Auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia: helping patients to develop effective coping strategies
Authors: Turkington Douglas , Lebert Latoyah , Spencer Helen 
Published: November 2016

SummaryAuditory hallucinations (voices) are the most common symptom in schizophrenia, occurring in 70% of those with the diagnosis. A proportion respond to antipsychotic medication, but despite adequate concordance with prescribed medication, voices may still remain. Voice hearers often inadvertently activate coping strategies that maintain the symptoms and linked distress. Assessment can identify ineffective strategies. Effective strategies can then be initiated, starting with distraction to reduce distress in the short term and leading to focusing approaches that give an improved understanding of voice maintenance. This article describes how to recognise voice hearers' ineffective coping strategies and how to teach effective approaches that are a crucial catalyst in the recovery process.
What to do with female drug-using offenders?
Authors: Rix Keith J. B. 
Published: November 2016

SummaryFemale drug-using offenders are a large but under-researched and vulnerable population with specific needs. Only a handful of randomised controlled trials of interventions for this population are of sufficient quality to shed light on what might work to reduce their criminal activity and drug use, and interpretation of the results of most of these trials is limited by an ‘unclear’ risk of bias due to a lack of descriptive information. Better-quality research is needed to inform practitioners and policy makers. In the meantime, this month's Cochrane Corner review provides cautious support for the use of some psychosocial treatments, particularly if delivered in a gender-responsive way addressing issues of abuse and victimisation, in the expectation that re-imprisonment can be prevented, even if there is no proven effect on re-arrest rates and only uncertain effects on substance use.
Sexual violence and abuse and the care programme approach
Authors: Brooker Charles G. D. , Tocque Karen , Brown Martin , Kennedy Angela 
Published: November 2016

SummaryIn 2008 it became policy that all those on the care programme approach were assessed for sexual violence/abuse. The implementation of this policy was assessed 8 years on. The findings of a survey and data request to Health and Social Care Information Centre are disappointing. We argue that this important initiative needs to be reinvigorated.

Abstract
A representative gold(III) complex ion ([AuCl4]−), successively hydrolyzes to form [AuCl4−n(OH)n]− (n = 0–4) in aqueous solution as the pH increases and, finally, precipitates. It has been referred to as “gold(III) hydroxide” for the past fifty years. However, whether the precipitate is gold(III) hydroxide (Au(OH)3) or hydrous gold(III) oxide (Au2O3·nH2O) has remained uncertain. Few studies have been conducted to determine its chemical and physical properties. The aim of this investigation is to identify the precipitate and to determine its solubility. The precipitate was X-ray amorphous. Based on the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation, the shape was spherical and the particle diameter was approximately 9 nm. From the results of 197Au Mössbauer spectroscopy, Au L3-edge X-ray absorption (XA) spectroscopy and thermogravimetry/differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA) measurements, the precipitate composition was estimated to be Au(OH)3. Based on the composition, its structure was proposed to be a linear polymer. Moreover, its solubility at 298 K was determined to be 0.00120 g/100 g of H2O. This chemical and physical properties information of Au(OH)3 is essential for gold chemistry, for example, for preparing supported gold catalyst.
An Empirical Analysis of Self-Enforcement Mechanisms: Evidence from Hotel Franchising
Authors: Kosová Renáta , Sertsios Giorgo 
Published: November 2016

The relational contracts literature suggests that a principal can improve contract self-enforceability by specifying initial requirements that increase the agent’s ex post rents. Initial requirements specified in hotel franchise agreements—size and quality tier of the hotel—offer a unique empirical setting to test this. Using proprietary data on 5,547 new franchised hotels and their revenues, we find that hotels far away from their franchisor’s headquarters are larger, more likely to belong to a high quality tier, and generate higher revenues ex post. This supports the idea that the agent’s ex post rents can serve as a substitute to the principal’s monitoring intensity in the mitigation of agency problems. Our findings shed light on how formal contract terms can influence informal (relational) contracts between business partners. This paper was accepted by Bruno Cassiman, business strategy.

Aim:To validate a Danish version of the observational Abbey Pain Scale (APS) in a geriatric ward.Material and methods:The study population consisted of 50 old patients (70+ years), consecutively admitted to the geriatric wards of Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark, and fulfilling one of the following inclusion criteria: Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) < 5, delirium, non-communicative aphasia, or unconsciousness. APS has six subscales and ranges from 0 (no pain) to 18 (worst pain). Criterion validity was assessed by using Verbal Rating Scale (VRS) as the gold standard. Cohen's kappa (k) was the measure of agreement. Inter-rater reliability was measured by two independent ratings of the same patient at the same time and assessed by Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). Internal consistency between the subscales was analysed by Cronbach's Alpha. Responsiveness was tested if the first APS score was positive for pain. ‘Before’ and ‘after’ sum scores were compared by paired t-test.Results:We found poor agreement between APS and VRS (k=0.42). The inter-rater reliability was good (ICC=0.84). Cronbach's Alpha was 0.52 (fair agreement). In 66% of the patients, pain was observed and re-tested when an expected effect of analgesics had occurred. Of these, 88% reached a reduction on the APS sum-score (p<0.001).Conclusion:Our assessment of the Danish version of APS shows that this pain assessment scale should be considered as qualified and usable in severely demented and non-communicative older patients admitted to a geriatric ward.
Lateral closing isosceles triangular osteotomy for the treatment of a post-traumatic cubitus varus deformity in children
Authors: Su Y. , Nan G. 
Published: November 2016

Aims Cubitus varus is the most common late complication of a supracondylar fracture of the humerus in children. Correction can be performed using one of a number of techniques of osteotomy but each has disadvantages. We describe a new technique for correcting post-traumatic cubitus varus using a lateral closing wedge isosceles triangular osteotomy. Patients and Methods A lateral closing wedge isosceles triangular osteotomy was performed in 25 patients (15 male and ten female with a mean age of 9.5 years (6 to 12)) between May 2010 and April 2013. All patients had cubitus varus secondary to malunion of a supracondylar fracture, with good function of the elbow and a full range of movement. The osteotomy lines were marked on the bone with an isosceles triangular template made before surgery, after which the osteotomy was performed leaving the medial cortex intact. Fixation was performed using two lateral 2 mm Kirschner (K)-wires and patients were immobilised in an above-elbow plaster. By six to eight weeks callus was present and the wires and cast were removed. Patients were reviewed at four and six weeks, three, six and 12 months and then every two years until skeletal maturity. Clinical and radiographic outcomes were categorised as excellent, good or poor. Results A total of 23 patients had an excellent and two had a good outcome at a mean final follow-up of 3.4 years (two to four). The mean post-operative carrying angle in the corrected elbow was 11.7° (7° to 18°). One patient fell, displacing the osteotomy, and needed revision of the fixation. No patient had a nerve injury. Conclusion A lateral isosceles triangular osteotomy and with K-wire fixation is a practical, effective, reliable, safe and simple method of correcting post-traumatic cubitus varus in children. It has inherent stability and excellent cosmesis without prominence of the lateral condyle. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2016;98-B:1521–5.
The ‘three-legged stool’

Published: November 2016

Many hospitals do not have a structured process of consent, the attainment of which can often be rather ‘last-minute’ and somewhat chaotic. This is a surprising state of affairs as spinal surgery is a high-risk surgical specialty with potential for expensive litigation claims. More recently, the Montgomery ruling by the United Kingdom Supreme Court has placed the subject of informed consent into the spotlight. There is a paucity of practical guidance on how a consent process can be achieved in a busy clinical setting. The British Association of Spinal Surgeons (BASS) has convened a working party to address this need. To our knowledge this is the first example of a national professional body, representing a single surgical specialty, taking such a fundamental initiative. In a hard-pressed clinical environment, the ability to achieve admission reliably on the day of surgery, in patients at ease with their situation and with little likelihood of late cancellation, will be of great benefit. It will reduce litigation and improve the patient experience. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2016;98-B:1427–30.

Published: November 2016

Fractures around total knee arthroplasties pose a significant surgical challenge. Most can be managed with osteosynthesis and salvage of the replacement. The techniques of fixation of these fractures and revision surgery have evolved and so has the assessment of outcome. This specialty update summarises the current evidence for the classification, methods of fixation, revision surgery and outcomes of the management of periprosthetic fractures associated with total knee arthroplasty.Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2016;98-B:1489–96.

Published: November 2016

Objectives A possible solution for the management of proximal femoral bone loss is a modular femoral endoprosthesis (EPR). Although the outcome of EPRs in tumour surgery has been well described, the outcome of their use in revision hip surgery has received less attention. The aim of this study was to describe the outcome of using EPR for non-neoplastic indications. Methods A retrospective review of 79 patients who underwent 80 EPRs for non-neoplastic indications was performed, including the rates of complication and survival and the mean Oxford Hip Scores (OHS), at a mean of five years post-operatively. The mean age at the time of surgery was 69 years (28 to 93) and the mean number of previous operations on the hip was 2.4 (0 to 17). The most common indications for EPR implantation were periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) (n = 40), periprosthetic fracture (n = 12) and failed osteosynthesis of a proximal femoral fracture or complex trauma (n = 11). Results Salvage was achieved in all patients. A total of 25 patients (25 EPRs, 31.6%) had a complication, the most common being infection (n = 9) and dislocation (n = 3). Further surgery was required for 18 EPRs (22%), nine of which were revision procedures. The five year survival of the EPR was 87% (95%CI: 76% to 98%). The mean OHS was 28 (4 to 48). Inferior survival and outcomes were seen in EPRs which were performed for the treatment of infection. However, the eradication of infection was achieved in 33 of the 40 (82.5%) which were undertaken for this indication. Conclusion We recommend the continued use of proximal femoral EPRs for non-neoplastic indications, including PJI. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2016;98-B:1463–70.
A randomised feasibility study comparing total hip arthroplasty with and without dual mobility acetabular component in the treatment of displaced intracapsular fractures of the proximal femur

Published: November 2016

Aims The optimal treatment for independent patients with a displaced intracapsular fracture of the hip remains controversial. The recognised alternatives are hemiarthroplasty and total hip arthroplasty. At present there is no established standard of care, with both types of arthroplasty being used in many centres. Patients and Methods We conducted a feasibility study comparing the clinical effectiveness of a dual mobility acetabular component compared with standard polyethylene component in total hip arthroplasty for independent patients with a displaced intracapsular fracture of the hip, for a 12-month period beginning in June 2013. The primary outcome was the risk of dislocation one year post-operatively. Secondary outcome measures were EuroQol 5 Dimensions, ICEpop CAPability measure for Older people, Oxford hip score, mortality and re-operation. Results Only 20 patients were recruited during this time. The baseline demographics were similar in the two groups and no patient suffered a dislocation. Differences in secondary outcomes were not analysed due to the small sample. Conclusion This feasibility study suggests that any trial investigating the effectiveness of total hip arthroplasty for fracture of the hip might not be deliverable within the constraints of current systems of care in the United Kingdom.

Turn's online advertising campaigns produce petabytes of data. This data is composed of trillions of events, e.g. impressions, clicks, etc., spanning multiple years. In addition to a timestamp, each event includes hundreds of fields describing the user's attributes, campaign's attributes, attributes of where the ad was served, etc.
Advertisers need advanced analytics to monitor their running campaigns' performance, as well as to optimize future campaigns. This involves slicing and dicing the data over tens of dimensions over arbitrary time ranges. Many of these queries need to power the web portal to provide reports and dashboards. For an interactive response time, they have to have tens of milliseconds latency. At Turn's scale of operations, no existing system was able to deliver this performance in a cost effective manner.
Kodiak, a distributed analytical data platform for web-scale high-dimensional data, was built to serve this need. It relies on pre-computations to materialize thousands of views to serve these advanced queries. These views are partitioned and replicated across Kodiak's storage nodes for scalability and reliability. They are system maintained as new events arrive. At query time, the system auto-selects the most suitable view to serve each query.
Kodiak has been used in production for over a year. It hosts 2490 views for over three petabytes of raw data serving over 200K queries daily. It has median and 99% query latencies of 8 ms and 252 ms respectively. Our experiments show that its query latency is 3 orders of magnitude faster than leading big data platforms on head-to-head comparisons using Turn's query workload. Moreover, Kodiak uses 4 orders of magnitude less resources to run the same workload.

Comdb2 is a distributed database system designed for geographical replication and high availability. In contrast with the latest trends in this field, Comdb2 offers full transactional support, a standard relational model, and the expressivity of SQL. Moreover, the system allows for rich stored procedures using a dialect of Lua. Comdb2 implements a serializable system in which reads from any node always return current values. Comdb2 provides transparent High Availability through built-in service discovery and sophisticated retry logic embedded in the standard API.
In addition to the relational data model, Comdb2 implements queues for publisher-to-subscriber message delivery. Queues can be combined with table triggers for time-consistent log distribution, providing functionality commonly needed in modern OLTP.
In this paper we give an overview of our last twelve years of work. We focus on the design choices that have made Comdb2 the primary database solution within our company, Bloomberg LP (BLP).
Data-driven disruption
Authors: Rajaraman Anand 
Published: November 2016

We live in an era where software is transforming industries, the sciences, and society as a whole. This exciting phenomenon has been described by the phrase "software is eating the world." It is becoming increasingly apparent that data is the fuel powering software's conquests. Data is the new disruptor.
It's hard to believe that the first decade of the Big Data era is already behind us. Silicon Valley has been at the forefront of developing and applying data-driven approaches to create disruption at many levels: infrastructure (e.g., Hadoop and Spark), capabilities (e.g., image recognition and machine translation), and killer apps (e.g., self-driving cars and messaging bots).
In this talk, we first look back on the past decade and share learnings from the frontlines of data-driven disruption. Looking ahead, we then describe challenges and opportunities for the next decade. Since this has also been a personal journey, we will use examples drawn from personal experience to illustrate each point.
The Influence of Mg(II) and Ca(II) Ions on Rutin Autoxidation in Weakly Alkaline Aqueous Solutions
Authors: Živanović Slavoljub C. , Nikolić Ružica S. , Nikolić Goran M. 
Published: November 2016

Summary
Rutin (quercetin-3-O-rutinoside) is one of the most abundant bioflavonoids with various biological and pharmacological activities. Considering the ubiquitous presence of Mg(II) and Ca(II) ions in biological systems we decided to investigate their influence on the autoxidation of rutin in weakly alkaline aqueous solutions. Changes in UV-Vis spectra recorded during the rutin autoxidation in aqueous solution at pH 8.4 revealed that this process was very slow in the absence of metal ions. The presence of Mg(II) and, especially Ca(II) ion, increased the transformation rate of rutin. UV-Vis spectra recorded after prolonged autoxidation indicated the formation of humic acidlike products in the presence of Mg(II) and Ca(II) ions. Four new compounds formed during the initial stage of rutin autoxidation in the presence of Mg(II) and Ca(II) ions were detected by HPLCDAD. Based on the analysis of their DAD UV-Vis spectra and comparison of their retention times with the retention time value for rutin, we concluded that the initial rutin transformation products were formed by the water addition on double bond in ring C and hydroxylation of ring B. A very small decrease of the initial rutin concentration (4%) was observed by HPLC-DAD in the absence of metal ions for the period of 90 minutes. However, rutin concentration decrease was much larger in the presence of Mg(II) and Ca(II) ions (14% and 24%, respectively). The more pronounced effect of Ca(II) ion on the rutin autoxidation may be explained by the stronger binding of Mg(II) ion to rutin and thus greater stabilizing effect on reaction intermediates caused by its higher ionic potential (charge/ionic radius ratio) in comparison to Ca(II) ion. The results of this study may contribute to the better understanding of interactions of Mg(II) and Ca(II) ions with natural phenolic antioxidants which are important for their various biological activities.
Teacher Education in English for Special Purposes
Authors: Antić Zorica 
Published: November 2016

Summary
This paper establishes a basic framework for addressing the issue of teacher’s role and education in English for Special Purposes (ESP) with an overview of English for Medical Purposes (EMP).
The content of an ESP/EMP syllabus is determined by the learners’ reasons for learning English. This has led to a change in the role that teachers have in specialized English classes compared to general English. They are required to work actively with the learners and medical subject teachers in order to create a syllabus that would promote effective learning.
Teacher education encompasses adequate knowledge, teaching and professional skills, interests and attitudes towards teaching.
