This article presents a clinical case of successful multilevel treatment the combined gunshot wound of liver with the mechanism of hydrodynamic shock using «damage control» tactic. The patient received a combined thoraco-abdominal injured as a result of warfare on the east of Ukraine. The blind fragmental penetrating trauma of the chest cavity led to the rupture of the right dome of diaphragm and liver (S3–S6) by the mechanism of hydrodynamic kick (fragments the wreckage and input/output openings in the abdominal cavity were not found). The «damage control» tactic was implemented as follows. On the second level of medical care the rupture of the liver parenchyma eliminated by repeated firmwares with omentopexy. The post-traumatic period proceeded with the several consecutive complications: cutting the liver sutures, the arrosive bleeding from the right hepatic artery and the irreversible ischemia of the liver S5-S6. These complications were liquidated gradually on the IV level of medical care by the transpupillary choledochal stenting, vascular suture and the imposition of a typical anatomical resection of liver S5–6. Successful treatment of patients with the severe fragmental gunshot thoraco-abdominal injuries should be based on a clear understanding of the stages of traumatic disease and expected complications of parallel conduct medical evacuation, using «damage control» tactic on the all levels of medical care.

Published: January 2018

* Multiplanar sacral fractures are characterized by the combination of horizontal and bilateral vertical fracture lines, leading to complex fracture types.* With a resultant disconnect between the cephalad axial spine and the caudad segment attached to the pelvis and lower extremities, these fracture characteristics, along with associated soft-tissue complications, make these injuries difficult to treat.* Outcomes are maximized with stable fixation and often are based on initial neurological compromise, which can be a reliable predictor of a return to a functional level.* Several methods of reconstructing the posterior pelvic-sacral complex exist, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.* Surgeons should select a fixation strategy on the basis of a careful analysis of the specific fracture pattern and resultant vectors causative of pelvic, sacral, and spinal deformity.
Alexandre de Afrodísia pensa Aristóteles: o caso do intelecto produtivo [Alexander of Aphrodisias thinks Aristotle: the case of the productive intellect]
Authors: Neves Allan 
Published: January 2018

O título de “comentador” dado a Alexandre de Afrodísia (c. 200 d.C.) por filósofos posteriores revela seu importante papel na elucidação do pensamento de Aristóteles. Esse título, porém, oculta o fato de que, na tentativa de completar as insuficiências e problemas emergentes do texto aristotélico, Alexandre desenvolveu ele mesmo, com argumentos próprios, uma doutrina filosófica consistente que em alguns aspectos não encontra qualquer ressonância direta no primeiro mestre e que também levanta novas questões. Neste artigo, pretendo mostrar como isso é o caso na noética tomando em perspectiva a noção de intelecto produtivo (noûs poiêtikós), ela mesma inexistente no Estagirita. [The title of “commentator” ascribed to Alexander of Aphrodisias (c. 200 AD) by posterior philosophers reveals his important contribution to the elucidation of Aristotle’s thought. This title, however, conceals the fact that, in the attempt to fulfill the insufficiencies and emergent problems of the Aristotelian text, Alexander himself developed by proper arguments a consistent philosophical doctrine, which in some aspects does not have any resonance in the first master and that also arises new issues. In this article, I aim to show how this is the case in noetics, availing the notion of productive intellect (noûs poiêtikós), itself absent in Aristotle.]
"Salvar os corpos", "conectar revoltas": para uma noção de Direito em Camus ["Save the bodies", "connect revolts": for a notion of Law in Camus]
Authors: Duarte Amsterdan , Pereira Márcio 
Published: January 2018

Utilizando, principalmente, as noções de Absurdo, Revolta e Limite, este trabalho procura construir uma noção de Direito a partir do pensamento de Albert Camus. Para tanto, o primeiro passo será, com o autor, identificar e criticar um tipo de Direito que, apresentando-se ainda hoje influente, mimetiza o Absurdo para intensificar o exílio do indivíduo no mundo. Em seguida, buscaremos construir uma noção de Direito que, mantendo intensa articulação com as ideias de Revolta e Limite, constitua-se, simultânea e inseparavelmente, em afirmação radical da vida humana e em expressão do agenciamento coletivo da Revolta. [Using, mainly, the notions of Absurd, Rebellion and Limit, this work aims to build a notion of Law based on the thought of Albert Camus. In order to do so, the first step is to, along with Camus, identify and criticize a kind of Law that, still today, very influential, mimics the Absurd in a way to intensify the individual’s exile in the world. Next, we build a notion of Law that, maintaining an intense connection with the ideas of Rebellion and Limit, represents, simultaneously, a radical affirmation of human life and an expression of the collective agency of Rebellion.]

Published: January 2018

Background:
Electrical stimulation is increasingly relevant in a variety of medical treatments. In this study, surface electrical stimulation was evaluated as a method to non-invasively target a neural function, specifically natural sensation in the distal limbs.

Method:
Electrodes were placed over the median and ulnar nerves at the elbow and the common peroneal and lateral sural cutaneous nerves at the knee. Strength-duration curves for sensation were compared between nerves. The location, modality, and intensity of each sensation were also analyzed. In an effort to evoke natural sensations, several patterned waveforms were evaluated.

Results:
Distal sensation was obtained in all but one of the 48 nerves tested in able-bodied subjects and in the two nerves from subjects with an amputation. Increasing the pulse amplitude of the stimulus caused an increase in the area and magnitude of the sensation in a majority of subjects. A low frequency waveform evoked a tapping or tapping-like sensation in 29 out of the 31 able-bodied subjects and a sensation that could be considered natural in two subjects with an amputation. This waveform performed better than other patterned waveforms that had proven effective during implanted extra-neural stimulation.

Conclusion:
Surface electrical stimulation has the potential to be a powerful, non-invasive tool for activation of the nervous system. These results suggest that a tapping sensation in the distal extremity can be evoked in most able-bodied individuals and that targeting the nerve trunk from the surface is a valid method to evoke sensation in the phantom limb of individuals with an amputation for short term applications.
Effectiveness of Experimental Left-Turn Sign Usage in Terms of Crashes and Analyzing Severity of Left Turn Crashes in Alaska
Authors: Abaza Osama A. , Chowdhury Tanay Datta 
Published: January 2018

Background:
Ensuring safety in the roadways is one of the critical tasks as crashes generally bourgeoning rapidly all over the world. Because the turning movements of vehicles are important to motorist safety, Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT & PF) experimented with left-turn traffic signs at six signalized intersections in the city of Anchorage, Alaska.

Objective:
The study aims at evaluating effectiveness of the left turn signs and analyze severity of left turning crashes.

Methods:
Preliminary statistical analysis and Binomial Logistic regression are applied for analyzing the data.

Results:
Preliminary analysis of before (1994-1998) and after (2005-2012) crash frequency data showed a reduction of crashes at four of the six intersections studied per 1000 entering vehicles. An analysis of crashes per year indicated that left-turn crashes at five intersections declined significantly after 2009, showing an improvement in safety. Pavement markings with signage were vitally important in contributing to improve compliance rates. Covering the pavement markings with snow and ice in Alaska for long periods signify the importance of installation of left turn signage to reduce crashes at studied intersections. Logistic regression analysis revealed that improper turn and lane usage, careless driving and angle type crashes were the most significant factors contributing to PDO crashes. Dry pavement conditions as well as almost all day except evening peak and off peak period influence PDO crashes in Alaska.

Conclusion:
Left-turn signs were effective in reducing crashes, and proper maintenance of road markings as well as driver awareness increased the effectiveness of signage and level of safety for left turning vehicles.

Popular Sovereignty and Constitutional Continuity
Authors: Winterton George 
Published: January 2018

Australian constitutionalism appears to be in turmoil. Ever since the Free Speech cases of 1992, commentators have been telling us that constitutionally we have undergone a “glorious revolution” and that Australian constitutionalism has experienced a “fundamental paradigm shift” from parliamentary to popular sovereignty. They have remarked on the “inadequacy of our constitutional theory of government” and urged us to acknowledge “a new foundation on which, step by step, our constitutional jurisprudence will need to be rethought.” This would include a new theory of judicial review.Some of this hyperbole can be attributed to youthful exuberance and, for older enthusiasts, to the allure of novelty. All are excited by the prospect of implied constitutional rights. The constitutionally “frozen continent” admittedly presented a fertile field for those commentators who have complained of our “impoverished constitutional culture”, bemoaned the absence of “an underrmg [constitutional] philosophy or vision” or even “an overall framework”, and queried the appropriateness of our existing “constitutional concepts, ideals and values ... to the Australia of the late twentieth century”. Our constitutional framers have even been criticised for adopting features of the United States Constitution only “at a secondary machinery level” but “nothing of [its] spirit”; or, as another commentator put it, “drawing on its most conservative, least inspiring features — jettisoning the rest”. The original United States Constitution’s solicitude for slavery was presumably overlooked.
A Hybrid-Approach to Protect Rights? An Argument in Favour of Supplementing Canadian Judicial Review with Australia's Model of Parliamentary Scrutiny
Authors: Hiebert Janet L 
Published: January 2018

One of the difficult issues liberal democracies face is how to distinguish allowable government action from the protected sphere of human activity. Rights have become increasingly important as a critical standard for evaluating the justification of policy. Yet no consensus exists on the best institutional methods for defining the scope of rights or for ensuring that rights are adequately and appropriately considered in the formulation of policy. Since the Second World War, many countries have shown an increasing interest in utilising a bill of rights against which to evaluate state action. Even parliamentary systems, founded on Dicey's precepts that the rule of law and parliamentary sovereignty are a superior way for respecting rights, have departed from, or have been pressured to alter, this institutional framework.However, a bill of rights, which accords a more authoritative role for judges in resolving citizen-state conflicts, is not without its critics. Proposals for bills of rights attract a wide range of concerns that judicial review of codified rights will reify rights, distort the way political issues are dealt with, assign priority to a different range of values, and result in elected officials reneging on their political responsibility to undertake controversial political decisions.
Choice of Law in Tort–The Song that Never Ends
Authors: Greene Janey 
Published: January 2018

This is the song that never endsIt goes on and on my friendSomeone started singing it not knowing what it wasAnd they'll go on forever now becauseIt is the song that never ends …Choice of law in tort may seem to be a tune we cannot get out of our heads at the moment, but it must be remembered that it presents a set of problems which have vexed legal minds — practical, academic and judicial — for centuries. Recent years have seen the issue of conflicts between the tort regimes of the Australian states and territories prove particularly difficult to address. This article will first canvas some of the reasons for the difficulty in formulating a rule in this area. These reasons are many and varied. First, the proper or central function of the law of tort itself has long been the subject of dispute. Then, the very nature of a right in tort has not lent itself to any obvious choice of law approach. The rapid evolution in this century of new kinds of torts has exacerbated the matter.

Ocena warunków przewozu i dobrostanu tuczników w transporcie lokalnym
Authors: Tereszkiewicz Krzysztof , Kusz Dariusz , Molenda Piotr 
Published: January 2018

Celem opracowania była ocena warunków transportu i dobrostanu tuczników oraz oszacowanie ekonomicznych strat transportowych w zależności od odległości transportu i wielkości rocznej skali produkcji tuczników. Badania przeprowadzono w latach 2014-2015 metodą ankiety bezpośredniej. Materiał badawczy stanowiły dane opisujące 120 operacji transportowych, w których trakcie do uboju przewieziono łącznie 4300 tuczników. Z badań własnych wynika, że zwierzęta były przewożone zarówno pojazdami specjalistycznymi, jak i adaptowanymi środkami transportowymi, głównie agregatami rolniczymi. Pojazdy specjalistyczne częściej wykorzystywano w transporcie na większe odległości i z gospodarstw o większej rocznej skali produkcji tuczników. Przeprowadzone badania wykazały liczne przypadki przekroczenia dopuszczalnych norm obsady tuczników w czasie transportu, głównie w transportach realizowanych od największych producentów. Najwyższe straty ekonomiczne wynikające z obniżenia dobrostanu tuczników w przeliczeniu na jedno transportowane zwierzę odnotowano w przewozach na najdłuższym dystansie oraz z gospodarstw o największej skali produkcji.

Published: January 2018

ABSTRACT

Objective:
To test the hypothesis that mutations in the parathyroid hormone 1 receptor (PTH1R) include effects in both primary and permanent teeth.

Materials and Methods:
DNA was extracted from saliva samples of 29 patients (8 familial and 21 sporadic) who presented with clinical evidence of infraoccluded teeth, and their unaffected relatives (N = 22). Sequencing followed by mutational analysis of the coding regions of PTH1R gene was completed for all individuals (N = 29).

Results:
Eight of 29 cases revealed a heterozygous pathogenic variant in the PTH1R gene; five of eight variants represented distinct mutations based on comparison with the dbSNP, HGMD, and ESP databases. One mutation (c.1765 T&gt;C p.Trp89Arg) was found to segregate within a family (n = 3). In silico analyses for all variants revealed a putative pathogenic effect. A genotype-phenotype correlation was reported as defined by a functional mutation in PTH1R and corresponding effects on one or more posterior teeth only; unilateral or bilateral involvement, infraoccluded primary teeth.

Conclusions:
Novel mutations were reported in the PTH1R gene that included PFE-affected primary molars, thus providing the basis for using a genetic diagnostic tool for early diagnosis leading to proper management.

Published: January 2018

ABSTRACT

Objective:
To examine the changes in visual attention influenced by facial angles and smile during the evaluation of facial attractiveness.

Materials and Methods:
Thirty-three young adults were asked to rate the overall facial attractiveness (task 1 and 3) or to select the most attractive face (task 2) by looking at multiple panel stimuli consisting of 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90° rotated facial photos with or without a smile for three model face photos and a self-photo (self-face). Eye gaze and fixation time (FT) were monitored by the eye-tracking device during the performance. Participants were asked to fill out a subjective questionnaire asking, “Which face was primarily looked at when evaluating facial attractiveness?”

Results:
When rating the overall facial attractiveness (task 1) for model faces, FT was highest for the 0° face and lowest for the 90° face regardless of the smile (P &lt; .01). However, when the most attractive face was to be selected (task 2), the FT of the 0° face decreased, while it significantly increased for the 45° face (P &lt; .001). When facial attractiveness was evaluated with the simplified panels combined with facial angles and smile (task 3), the FT of the 0° smiling face was the highest (P &lt; .01). While most participants reported that they looked mainly at the 0° smiling face when rating facial attractiveness, visual attention was broadly distributed within facial angles.

Conclusions:
Laterally rotated faces and presence of a smile highly influence visual attention during the evaluation of facial esthetics.

Adivinhação, superstição e religião no último século da República (Cícero e Lucrécio)
Authors: Novak Maria da Gloria 
Published: January 2018

Confundem-se religião e superstição no último século da República e a religião é poderosa arma nas mãos dos poderosos. O homem se sente fraco e imagina forças sobrenaturais que o protejam, tendência que o estoicismo reforça e o epicurismo combate. Assim, adivinhação e epicurismo são absolutamente incompatíveis. Lucrécio, materialista e coerente, clama contra todas as formas de superstição e contra o comportamento absoluto que dela deriva. Cícero (que tão veementemente critica a adivinhação) defende-a e defende também a religião oficial, porque sabe que só esta pode manter o homem livremente submisso ao Estado.
