The New APGAR SCORE: A Checklist to Enhance Quality of Life in Geriatric Patients with Hip Fracture
Authors: Bernstein Joseph , Weintraub Sara , Hume Eric , Neuman Mark D. , Kates Stephen L. , Ahn Jaimo 
Published: July 2017

Abstract:
For geriatric patients with hip fractures, the broken bone is the reason for admission, but only part of the overall disease. Indeed, it may be more helpful to consider the patient having geriatric hip fracture syndrome or sustaining a hip attack, as there are many associated medical, social, psychological, and other problems to which attention must be paid. To that end, we have identified a series of 10 steps, collected into a checklist, that can be undertaken for all patients with geriatric hip fracture. In homage to the maxim “we come into the world under the brim of the pelvis and go out through the neck of the femur,” we defined our checklist by the acronym APGAR SCORE, named after the classic checklist of the same name used to assess a newborn child. The 10 elements include attending to problems of Alimentation and nutrition, Polypharmacy, and Gait; initiating a discussion about Advance care planning; correcting any Reversible cognitive impairment; maximizing Social support; checking for and remediating Cataracts or other impairments of vision; assessing for and addressing Osteoporosis; and last, ensuring that Referrals are made and that the patient has a safe Environment after discharge. For the newborn, the Apgar score has been criticized as an imperfect tool, and likewise the problem of geriatric hip fracture will not be solved with this new Apgar score either. Nonetheless, a score of 10 here,1 point for each item, may help to optimize the outcome for this difficult disease.

Published: July 2017

➤ The medial and lateral menisci have an important role in load-bearing and shock absorption and contribute to knee stability, with meniscectomy resulting in increased anterior translation of the femoral condyle on the tibia.➤ Meniscal repair provides improved long-term outcomes, better clinical outcome scores, and less severe degenerative changes seen radiographically compared with partial meniscectomy.➤ Given the potential long-term sequelae of meniscal pathology, patients with symptomatic meniscal tears warrant a thorough assessment with surgical consultation to determine the optimal treatment strategy.➤ Advancements in surgical techniques and biologic augmentation have expanded the indications for meniscal repair to include tear patterns previously considered irreparable.
Detecting and Managing Mental Health Issues within Young Adults. A Systematic Review on College Counselling in Italy
Authors: Ghilardi Alberto , Buizza Chiara , Carobbio Egle Miriam , Lusenti Rossella 
Published: July 2017

Background:
College counselling can be considered as a front-line service in detecting and managing mental health issues within young adults. In this sense, it is important to investigate the effectiveness of counselling interventions.

Objective:
To provide a systematic review about college counselling in Italy; to assess which psychological interventions really meet student needs, and their effectiveness; to focus on the level of cohesion between Italian counselling services and the international guidelines about college counselling.

Method:
A systematic review about college counselling through PsycInfo and PubMed was carried out. Because of the scarceness of pertinent available articles, the survey was extended to Google Scholar and Riviste Web. Keywords: counselling, mental health, wellbeing, psychological support, university, students, Italy.

Results:
Out of thirty-four articles retrieved, 16 are relevant to academic counselling, the other 18 have been considered not pertinent to the aim of the present review. Data show a lack of homogeneity in methodology and organization between each University: different approaches towards students’ needs. Furthermore, no follow-up studies or measurement of effectiveness were found.

Conclusion:
This review is a contribution to disseminate the results of counselling experiences in Italy and represents an effort to encourage colleagues working in a web environment to share results and methods for a more organized protocol application.

Authors: Malik Atif A. , Robinson Simon , Khan Wasim S. , Dillon Bernice , Lovell Martyn E. 
Published: July 2017

Background:
Whiplash has been suggested to cause chronic symptoms and long term disability. This study was designed to assess long term function after whiplash injury.

Material & Methods:
A random sample of patients in the outpatient clinic was interviewed, questionnaire completed and clinical examination performed. Assessment was made of passive cervical range of movement and Visual Analogue Scale pain scores. One hundred and sixty-four patients were divided into four different groups including patients with no whiplash injury but long-standing neck pain (Group A), previous symptomatic whiplash injury and long-standing neck pain (Group B), previous symptomatic whiplash injury and no neck symptoms (Group C), and a control group of patients with no history of whiplash injury or neck symptoms (Group D).

Results:
Data was analyzed by performing an Independent samples t-test and ANOVA, with level of significance taken as p<0.05. Comparing the four groups using a one-way ANOVA showed a significant difference between the groups (p<0.001). There were significant differences when comparing mean ranges of movement between Group A and Group D, and between Group B and Group D. There was no significant difference between Group C and Group D. similar differences were also seen in the pain scores.

Conclusion:
We conclude that osteoarthritis in the cervical spine, and whiplash injury with chronic problems cause a significantly decreased cervical range of movement with a higher pain score. Patients with shorter duration of whiplash symptoms appear to do better in the long-term.
STUDY OF HAND GESTURE RECOGNITION AND CLASSIFICATION
Authors: K Srinivas , Rajagopal Manoj Kumar 
Published: July 2017

To recognize different hand gestures and achieve efficient classification to understand static and dynamic hand movements used for communications.Static and dynamic hand movements are first captured using gesture recognition devices including Kinect device, hand movement sensors, connecting electrodes, and accelerometers. These gestures are processed using hand gesture recognition algorithms such as multivariate fuzzy decision tree, hidden Markov models (HMM), dynamic time warping framework, latent regression forest, support vector machine, and surface electromyogram. Hand movements made by both single and double hands are captured by gesture capture devices with proper illumination conditions. These captured gestures are processed for occlusions and fingers close interactions for identification of right gesture and to classify the gesture and ignore the intermittent gestures. Real-time hand gestures recognition needs robust algorithms like HMM to detect only the intended gesture. Classified gestures are then compared for the effectiveness with training and tested standard datasets like sign language alphabets and KTH datasets. Hand gesture recognition plays a very important role in some of the applications such as sign language recognition, robotics, television control, rehabilitation, and music orchestration.
A REVIEW ON PATIENT-CONTROLLED ANALGESIA INFUSION SYSTEM
Authors: Shola Usha Rani , V Neela Narayanan 
Published: July 2017

PCA is a patient-controlled analgesia infusion pump, which is used to infuse the medicine into the patients after surgery. It contains a syringe with pain medicine to infuse that is prescribed by the physician. The drugs used for pain control are high-alert medicines, since overmedication may cause death to the patients. These types of unbearable events may happen due to medical errors, prescription errors, adverse events (AEs), etc. Hence, it requires a precautionary attention or continuous monitoring for PCA pump infusion patients. However, always physicians or nurses may not monitor a patient continuously. To provide safety to the patient, the PCA pump needs a smart care process to alert the physician. This study represents the survey on PCA pump errors, AEs, and solutions for it to avoid them. The solution will automatically alert the infusion-related situation of the patients, those are taking the intravenous drug infusion at different procedure rooms in the hospitals. Moreover, it increases the safety to infusion pump with advances of decision-making in health, patient monitoring, alert notification to nursing, and productivity. This quality care can be achieved by integrating the PCA pump with other intelligent systems.
INVENTORY MANAGEMENT THROUGH EXTENDED STAR-RING SUPPLY CHAIN NETWORK
Authors: Prasath Gm Arun 
Published: July 2017

Objectives: The production-distribution inventory problem has two main sectors namely production and distribution. In this paper, the nonlinearmathematical model of extended star-ring supply chain network is developed.Methods: Planning a distribution network plays a vital role in minimizing the total expenditure of the project; to prove this, a ring network topology is taken to supply goods to the SWs and extended star network topology to supply goods to the selling stores. However, setting up separate SWs for each and every selling store will be highly expensive. Hence, keeping the minimum number of SWs is very important. Selection of SWs from the available SWs is done by replacing diverse values based on the distance limitation.Results: The suggested model is validated with the mathematical problem, and the optimum set of SWs is identified from the result. The result has been substantiated using analytic hierarchy process. Conclusion: The system of optimum number of SWs is obtained from the result.

Se seleccionaron e identificaron cinco especies forrajeras nativas del estado de Guerrero, México: Bothriochloa sp, Sorghum halepense (L.) Pers, Desmanthus virgatus (L.) Willd, Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Stend, Acacia farnesiana (L.) Willd, consideradas forrajes no convencionales por ser productos naturales, no utilizados actualmente para la alimentación animal. El objetivo fue determinar la composición química en muestras representativas de las cinco plantas, vainas con semillas y panojas. Los análisis realizados fueron: análisis químico proximal, fracciones de fibra, perfil de aminoácidos, factores antinutricios, minerales y vitaminas hidrosolubles. Se encontró que el valor de proteína cruda osciló entre 60 y 202, fibra cruda entre 132.5 y 354.8, extracto etéreo 17 a 32.4, eportados en g-1 kg-1 de materia seca (MS). El contenido de lignina en las gramíneas fue 52 a 82 y en las muestras de leguminosas fue de 132 a 202 g; mientras que la celulosa para el primer grupo fue de 189 a 276 y para el segundo de 95 a 269 g kg-1 MS. De los factores antinutricios analizados el inhibidor de tripsina cuantificado fue de 1.0 a 4.97 UIT mg-1, hemaglutininas y saponinas no se detectaron. Se analizaron los siguientes minerales: Ca (301-652), Mg (57-88), K (565-1286), Na (64.3-630), Zn (0.93-5.1) y Fe (8.3-21.0) (reportados en g kg-1). Se cuantificaron 17 aminoácidos y 3 vitaminas (B1, B2 y B3) de cada muestra presentando valores similares entre ellas. Se concluye que las panojas y las vainas con semillas podrían considerarse como un recurso no convencional en la alimentación de rumiantes.
Preferencias de consumidores y disponibilidad a pagar por atributos de calidad en carne de conejo orgánico
Authors: Jaramillo Villanueva José Luis , Vargas López Samuel , Guerrero Rodríguez Juan de Dios 
Published: July 2017

La demanda de productos cárnicos, especialmente los de especialidad, están altamente segmentados entre los diferentes tipos de consumidores. En este trabajo, las preferencias del consumidor por atributos relacionados con la calidad (inocuidad, frescura, textura, color, orgánico y precio) por carne de conejo son analizadas para descubrir su nicho de mercado potencial. A partir de datos obtenidos por encuesta a una muestra aleatoria de 197 personas, se realizó análisis descriptivo, de correlación y un modelo econométrico para identificar las variables potencialmente explicativas de la disponibilidad a pagar (DAP) de los consumidores por el atributo orgánico. Las preferencias se midieron utilizando una escala Likert de cinco categorías. Los atributos más preferidos, en orden de importancia, fueron lo orgánico, la inocuidad, la frescura, y el precio de la carne. El atributo “orgánico” es altamente preferido por el 64 % de la muestra, seguido de la inocuidad. Las razones para preferir carne orgánica son por salud y responsabilidad social. Las características, escolaridad, ingreso del hogar, conocimiento sobre alimentos orgánicos, y el atributo inocuidad fueron significativas (P<0.05) de la DAP. Esto revela la importancia del nivel de ingresos y la educación formal en la decisión del consumidor sobre el posible sobreprecio por estos alimentos. El sobreprecio que los consumidores pagarían por kilogramo de carne de conejo orgánico fue del 15 % de la media del precio ($13.50 más por kilogramo) que los consumidores pagan.
Can Management Accounting Help Aid Associations Make Tough Choices in Haiti?
Authors: Krumwiede Kip R. , Paik Gyung H. (Daniel) , Walden W. Darrell 
Published: July 2017

ABSTRACT
Based on an actual situation, this case explores the use of management accounting analysis in a difficult make-or-buy decision in the real world of humanitarian aid. An aid organization produces a specially designed, highly nutritious peanut butter medicine to save the lives of Haiti's malnourished children. The challenge is deciding whether to source the peanuts from Haitian farmers and pay more or from foreign suppliers and pay less. Students perform both quantitative and qualitative cost-benefit, break-even, operating leverage, and product costing analysis. Performance measurement, incentive issues, short-term versus long-term thinking, micro- and macroeconomics, and ethical issues are also considered. The case is best suited for cost accounting and managerial (particularly M.B.A. managerial) accounting courses.

OBJECTIVETo determine the impact of 20 weeks of exercise training in aerobic capacity on left ventricular function and glycemic control in adolescents with and without type 1 diabetes.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSFifty-three adolescents with type 1 diabetes (aged 15.6 years) were divided into two groups: exercise training (n = 38) and nontraining (n = 15). Twenty-two healthy adolescents without diabetes (aged 16.7 years) were included and, with the 38 participants with type 1 diabetes, participated in a 20-week exercise-training intervention. Assessments included VO2max and body composition. Left ventricular parameters were obtained at rest and during acute exercise using MRI.RESULTSExercise training improved aerobic capacity (10%) and stroke volume (6%) in both trained groups, but the increase in the group with type 1 diabetes remained lower than trained control subjects. Increased stroke volume in adolescents with type 1 diabetes resulted from greater left ventricular contractility (9% increase in ejection fraction and an 11% reduction in end-systolic volumes) and, to a lesser extent, improved left ventricular filling (6%), suggesting that impaired diastolic function can be affected by exercise training in adolescents with type 1 diabetes. Insulin use decreased by ∼10%, but no change in glycemic status was observed.CONCLUSIONSThese data demonstrate that in adolescents, the impairment in left ventricular function seen with type 1 diabetes can be improved, although not normalized, with regular intense physical activity. Importantly, diastolic dysfunction, a common mechanism causing heart failure in older subjects with diabetes, appears to be partially reversible in this age group.

Definiendo un género. La "Antología de la literatura fantástica" de Silvina Ocampo, Adolfo Bioy Casares y Jorge Luis Borges
Authors: Annick Louis 
Published: July 2017

A pesar de que la Antología de la literatura fantástica se presenta como una compilación que realizaron Jorge Luis Borges, Silvina Ocampo y Adolfo Bioy Casares (tanto en la portada como en la página del título los nombres aparecen en ese orden), críticos y lectores han tendido a minimizar la participación de Silvinaen la empresa. Frecuentemente la autoría se atribuye, sin reservas, a Borges y Bioy Casares; otras veces, la presencia de Silvina es justificada en función de las sabidas relaciones personales (esposa de Bioy, amiga de Borges), y cuando su participación no es ignorada, es reducida a una presencia puramente nominal...

EMPIRICAL TEST OF PUT-CALL PARITY ON SPX OVER THE SHORT BAN 2008
Authors: Do Huyen 
Published: July 2017

Put call parity is a theoretical no-arbitrage condition linking a call option price to a put option price written on the same stock or index. This study finds that Put call parity violations are quite symmetric over the whole sample. However during the ban period 2008 in the U.S., puts are significantly and economically overpriced relative to calls. Some possible explanations are the short selling restriction, momentum trading behaviour and the changes in supply and demand of puts over the short ban. One interesting finding that the relationship between time to expiry, put call parity deviations and returns on the index is highly non-linear.
Key word: Put-call parity, SPX, short ban 2008

A Comparison of Test Content: the IELTS Listening Test and TOEFLiBT Listening Test
Authors: Nguyen Hoa 
Published: July 2017

The study compares the content of two internationally popular EFL tests: the IELTS and TOEFLiBT. It focuses on one component which Vietnamese students often find most challenging: the listening one. Framework for comparison is generalized from Bachman (1990), Bachman and Palmer (1996), Bejar et al (2000) and Buck (2001). Findings reveal that the two listening tests share some similarities but many differences in the facet of test rubric and facets of test input.
Several similarities can be seen in test rubric such as salience of parts, sequence of parts, relative importance of parts and time allocation. As regard to test input, the two tests also have several same features in format, nature of language input (lexical density, mode of presentation, genre and text types).
Many differences between the two tests can be seen and the most prominent ones are specification of procedure and task, situation inputs in the form of situation prompts, listening text length, number of fillers in the listening texts. These differences might imply that the two tests measure different underlying constructs. Analytical evidence of these differences can be beneficial for both test takers and test trainers while preparing for a test as well as making a choice of which test is more suitable for them.

Abstract
The BeSSeL Survey is mapping the spiral structure of the Milky Way by measuring trigonometric parallaxes of hundreds of maser sources associated with high-mass star formation. While parallax techniques for water masers at high frequency (22 GHz) have been well documented, recent observations of methanol masers at lower frequency (6.7 GHz) have revealed astrometric issues associated with signal propagation through the ionosphere that could significantly limit parallax accuracy. These problems displayed as a “parallax gradient” on the sky when measured against different background quasars. We present an analysis method in which we generate position data relative to an “artificial quasar” at the target maser position at each epoch. Fitting parallax to these data can significantly mitigate the problems and improve parallax accuracy.
