<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Distal radius fracture is extremely common and represents 16% of fractures treated by orthopaedic surgeons. Near anatomical reduction with restoration of radial length, radial tilt and ulnar variances are important for good functional results. A variety of treatment options have been proposed for distal radius fracture closed reduction and immbolization in cast has been the main stay of treatment, but because it invariably results in malunion, poor functional outcome and cosmetic outcome, other modality of treatment were brought into practice like percutaneous intrafocal pinning, transulnar percutaneous pinning, external fixation, plating etc. This comparative study was to compare the clinical outcomes of closed reduction with cast and closed reduction with Percutaneous Kirschner wiring (PKW)/canullated cancellous screws (CC screws 4 mm)for the management of Colles fractures in patients between 20 and 70 years old. In this study we did an prospective study in 40 patients with extra articular distal radius fracture treated by both closed reduction with cast and closed reduction internal fixation (PKW/CC screws).</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> There were 20 patients with Colles fractures treated by closed reduction with cast and 20 patients treated with closed reduction internal fixation (PKW/CC screws).

Authors: Llopis‐Albert Carlos , Merigó José M. , Xu Yejun , Liao Huchang 
Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT: This study analyzes the level of satisfaction of stakeholders in the public participation process (PPP) of water resources management, which is mandatory according to the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD). The methodology uses a fuzzy set/qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA), which allows the identification of a combination of factors that lead to the outcome that is stakeholders' satisfaction. It allows dealing with uncertain environments due to the heterogeneous nature of stakeholders and factors. The considered causes range from environmental objectives pursued, actual capacity of efficiently carrying out those objectives, socioeconomic development of the region, level of involvement and means of participation of the stakeholders engaged in the PPP, and alternative policies and measures that should be performed. Results support the argument that different causal paths explain the stakeholders' satisfaction. The methodology may help in the implementation of the WFD and conflict resolution since it leads to greater fairness, social equity, and consensus among stakeholders.
Reverberações das cartas de alforria nas discriminações étnicas.
Authors: Dos Santos Júlio César , Da Conceição Aline Souza 
Published: December 2017

O objetivo do artigo é entender as narrativas nas cartas de alforria, como dinâmicas de produção de sentidos intergeracionais de pessoas em situações de discriminações étnicas. Questionamos os temas nas cartas de alforria que marcam narrativas de discriminação étnica nas ações e atividades atuais. O método de pesquisa foi uma busca documental nos cartórios da cidade por cartas de alforria e inventários de família com declarações de posse de uma pessoa sobre a outra, de 1872 a 1888. Um outro método se constitui na escolha de 3 homens da mesma família no corte do corpus de narrativas de doze homens, de três gerações, da cidade de Santo Antônio de Jesus, Bahia. Foram realizadas quarenta e oito horas de gravações de áudio e vídeo em entrevistas de história de vida e episódica. Na análise de conteúdo temática da narrativa das cartas de alforria foram encontradas reverberações dos mesmos temas de discriminação, racismo e preconceito étnico nas narrativas dos participantes. Foi escolhida a narrativa de P32 por apresentar vários significados que discriminam as populações negras no interior da comunidade do Quilombo Alto do Morro, como o “trabalho doméstico”; “a minha cor assim”. O foco da narrativa enfatiza o impacto da educação, como prática cultural em detrimento aos processos discriminatórios aos “de minha cor assim”. Conclui-se que a quantidade de leis contra o racismo sinaliza questões intergeracionais importantes, em como a reverberações dos significados, a dinâmica de produção de sentidos intergeracional de negros alforriados paralisa algumas pessoas, seus ancestrais e descendentes. Ao mesmo tempo constituíram-se significados de negações, de esquecimentos dos episódios de pessoas de uma mesma família do tratamento como inferior, com todos os processos cognitivos possíveis.

Este trabalho teve como objetivo ensinar o movimento retórico do gênero resumo escolar a estudantes do ensino médio integrado do Instituto Federal de Alagoas. O referencial teórico está representado pelas contribuições dos estudos retóricos de gênero (BAZERMAN (2009) e do gênero textual resumo (LEITE 2006; MACHADO, LOUSADA & ABREU-TARDELI 2004). Esta investigação é de natureza qualitativa e os instrumentos para análise dos dados estão compostos por dois resumos escritos em dois momentos diferentes: (1) antes do ensino do movimento retórico de gênero e (2) após o ensino do movimento retórico. Os resultados demonstram que, na primeira etapa, muitos estudantes entendiam que resumir era copiar de modo fiel os trechos considerados importantes. Na segunda etapa, percebemos que houve melhoras significativas quanto à escrita do gênero. A conclusão aponta para a necessidade de inclusão no ensino médio integrado de atividades de escrita dos gêneros que circulam na sua área de formação.

Preparing Community College Leaders to Meet Tomorrow's Challenges
Authors: L Eddy Pamela , L Garza Mitchell Regina 
Published: December 2017

Aim/Purpose: This article reviews the leadership development literature and posits that a learning centered approach will best support the development of community college leaders. But, it is important to recognize that community colleges have differing needs due to size, location, and the communities they serve.

Background:	American community colleges have received a great deal of attention over the last decade as institutions poised to contribute to the education of the workforce and to increase the number of citizens who possess a certificate or degree. Concurrently, community colleges also received attention due to the warnings about a pending presidential leadership crisis in the sector. As more and more sitting leaders retire, the demands of the job increase, and fewer individuals seek out top-level leadership positions, it is important to address how to develop community college leaders.

Contribution: The review of leadership development literature provides the backdrop for creating new programs to develop community college leaders. A multi-faceted approach is required in which succession planning occurs, graduate programs are revamped, and both individuals and organizations engage in the development of community college leaders.

Findings: It is important to recognize that community colleges have differing needs due to size, location, and the communities they serve. Graduate doctoral programs targeting community college leadership and national training programs can help prepare leaders, but they need curricular and program alignment targeting development of authentic leadership and ways to bridge theory with practice. Establishing succession planning can build a robust leadership pipeline that supports networked leadership and nurtures contextual competencies.

Impact on Society: Understanding better how to prepare leaders to face the challenges now facing community colleges requires questioning current practices and building different leadership development programs.
Del objeto al proceso: el paisaje de la reconstrucción post-catástrofe
Authors: Rocchio Daniele , Moya Ricardo 
Published: December 2017

La imagen post-catástrofe, desde el punto de vista arquitectónico-urbano, es el reflejo de dinámicas socio-espaciales relacionadas con fenómenos complejos. Desde el siglo XX se ha empezado a investigar con profundidad los desastres naturales desde un punto de vista principalmente disciplinar. Los estudios se han enfocado, tanto en poder predecir los acontecimientos cuanto en un trabajo metodológico de soluciones post-evento. Esta situación resulta ser de alta complejidad, donde convergen múltiples factores que definen el sistema de la realidad de emergencia. Los análisis y las estrategias de intervenciones se han orientados en planteamientos estáticos de recuperación urbana y de re-habilitación o construcción ex-novo de obras puntuales, los cuales no han resuelto las problemáticas reales que se presentan en una situación de post-catástrofe y no se ha definido un criterio sobre el paisaje de estas condiciones que pueda contestar a la pregunta: ¿Cuál es la representación de la imagen en este tipo de configuraciones socio-espaciales?
El presente artículo quiere definir el concepto de “paisaje de la reconstrucción post-catástrofe” para que el encuadre de la cuestión sea sobre el proceso (marco dinámico) y no sobre el objeto (marco estático). Esto se ha concretado, a nivel metodológico, a través de dos levantamientos in situ del parque construido y del sistema urbano en la cabecera parroquial de San José de Chamanga, lugar emblemático de la provincia de Esmeraldas en Ecuador. Los resultados nos llevan a definir dos tipos de paisajes que evidencian la necesidad de no intervenir con zonificaciones exactas y permanentes sino con modelos procesuales y adaptables al medio cambiante.
1.	ALOPECIA FIBROSANTE FRONTAL ASSOCIADA A LIQUEN PLANO PIGMENTOSO - RELATO DE DOIS CASOS
Authors: Santos Thuany Silva 
Published: December 2017

A alopecia fibrosante frontal (AFF), variante do líquen plano pilar, foi descrita por Kossard em 1994. Trata-se de uma alopecia cicatricial caracterizada por rarefação progressiva da linha de implantação fronto-temporal. A dermatoscopia tem grande importância no aumento da acurácia diagnóstica, sendo uma relevante ferramenta para distingui-la dos demais diagnósticos diferenciais.O Líquen plano pigmentoso (LPP), é outra variante do líquen plano, de ocorrência incomum, que acomete principalmente mulheres, de fototipo III e IV, entre a terceira e quarta décadas de vida. Neste artigo serão relatados dois casos da rara associação entre LPP e AFF.

There is an increasing interest these days in the green route of synthesis of metal nanoparticles using plant extract, fungus and bacterial- mediated eco-friendly materials. Silver nanoparticles were synthesized using an intracellular extract of Ganoderma lucidum, a mushroom from Nepal then characterization of silver nanoparticles was performed. The Ag-NPs thus formed show surface plasmonic resonance with a maximum absorption band at 420 nm. Their crystalline nature was confirmed as a face-centered cubic structure by the XRD, Furthermore, SEM revealed that they were in the size range of 10-30 nm and were spherical in shape. The possible biomolecule involved in the reduction and stabilization of Ag-NPs were believed to be oxidized polyphenol, and carbonyl group, amino acid residue. Ag-NPs exhibit good antioxidant activity but showed low antioxidant in comparison to the fungal extract alone, which was studied using DPPH antioxidant assay. The effect of the colloidal silver nanoparticles solution against six human pathological bacteria was carried out by Disc diffusion method. The zone of maximum inhibition was seen in Bacillus subtilis (17.0 ± 0.13 mm) and least effective against Escherichia coli (10.1 ± 0.2 mm). Further, the results showed that Ag-NPs in combination with antibiotics have better antibacterial effect as compared with Ag-NPs alone. The maximum effect with a 3.2 and 5.3 fold increase was seen in Gentamicin and Streptomycin respectively providing the synergistic role of Ag-NPs. The results of antimicrobial studies indicated that the Ag-NPs are the metal of choice and can be effectively used in combination with antibiotics in order to improve their efficiency against various pathogenic microbes.

Bone Mineral Density and Osteoporosis in Women of Rural and Urban Dwellers
Authors: Begum Shamim MF , Begum Rubina , Alam Rajibul 
Published: December 2017

Introduction: Bone mineral density (BMD) is an important and measurable risk factor for osteoporotic fractures. Many studies showed higher bone mineral density and lower incidence of fracture in rural population compared to urban population. But all these studies were done in developed countries and very few studies were found in developing countries. This study was carried out to determine the bone mineral density (BMD) in women of both urban and rural dwellers and to evaluation the rate of occurrence of osteoporosis in these two groups.Method: A total 376 women with age range 35 to 85 were analyzed and divided in two groups. Group I rural (n204) and group II urban (n- 172), who were studied at two different Nuclear Medicine centers of Dhaka with different problems specially for low back pain and joint pain. Bone mineral density of lumbar spines (L2-L4) in anterior-posterior position and hip were measured using the Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry-DEXA (Norland XR36). The T- scores were calculated and results were compared between rural and urban women. The history of physical activity, dietary intake of calcium, smoking habit, number of parity and socio-economic condition was also compared with BMD.Results: The mean T score of lumber spines in rural group was -2.31±1.10 and in urban group was -1.78±1.03. The hip of rural group showed mean T score -3.11±1.09 and urban group -3.02±1.09. Mean bone mineral density was lower in rural women than urban but statistically no significant difference was observed between the two groups (P <0.01 and P <0.02 respectively). In rural group 39.2 % cases showed osteoporosis in lumbar spines and 76.4% cases in hip. In comparison the urban group revealed osteoporosis in lumbar spines in 22.7% cases and in hip 40.9% cases.Conclusion: This study revealed lower bone mineral density in rural women than urban in our study population but this difference is statistically not significant.Bangladesh J.

Exorciser l’homme des sciences humaines : programmes du poststructuralisme
Authors: A. Kittler Friedrich 
Published: December 2017

« Exorciser l’homme des sciences humaines » constitue un manifeste dans lequel Kittler se penche sur les « Programmes du poststructuralisme ». Récapitulant deux siècles de « sciences humaines » (de l’institution philosophique des notions d’histoire, d’esprit et d’homme au xixe siècle à leur remise en cause dans la psychanalyse, la linguistique et l’ethnologie du xxe siècle), Kittler conclut à la dissémination des discours. En creux, il dessine toutefois une ligne plus radicale. Là où un exorcisme chrétien ne se conçoit pas sans la parole : celui auquel il invite fonctionne par une combinatoire quasi mécanique des sciences dont la clé est l’opérationnalisation mathématique et technique, c’est-à-dire informatique, de la négation. Le programme implicite de Kittler étant de faire l’archéologie d’un « Esprit » devenu « Légion ».
La mort de l’auteur selon Friedrich Kittler
Authors: Guez Emmanuel , Vargoz Frédérique 
Published: December 2017

En 1900, Stéphane Mallarmé, Christian Morgenstern, Hugo Ball ou encore Stefan George bouleversent la création littéraire en produisant des œuvres qui semblent s’affranchir du sens en même temps qu’elles expérimentent les matérialités de la page, des lettres ou des sons. Une partie de la littérature ne se préoccupe plus d’ouvrir à un monde de l’imagination accessible par-delà les lettres écrites, et explore au contraire l’écriture automatique ou le pouvoir de signifiants qui font obstacle à l’intentionnalité de l’acte d’écriture. Mais un auteur qui ne se reconnaît plus dans ce qu’il écrit est-il encore un auteur ? Si à l’âge classique folie et littérature s’excluaient, le xxe siècle est le siècle d’une écriture qui s’écrit toute seule, et qui à ce titre échappe à l’exigence du sens pour devenir un simple jeu de symboles, c’est-à-dire un code qui ne peut se déchiffrer qu’a posteriori. Pour Friedrich Kittler, l’auteur est une fonction de son environnement média-technique et celui de 1900 est façonné par l’apparition du phonographe, qui enregistre ce que l’écriture échouait à dire (les bruits), du cinéma qui convoque l’imaginaire en agissant directement sur le système nerveux et de la machine à écrire qui permet d’écrire plus vite que l’on ne pense. Si tout s’écrit, que faut-il lire et comment ? Le tournant du xixe siècle est aussi l’époque en Europe d’une réforme pédagogique qui encourage les libres essais des élèves et non plus la lecture des auteurs classiques. La « mort de l’auteur », énoncée par Roland Barthes et Michel Foucault, est ainsi en réalité pour Friedrich Kittler celle de l’auteur de ce qu’il appelle le système d’inscription 1800, c’est-à-dire le réseau institutionnel et technique déterminant les modalités selon lesquelles les données peuvent être, à cette époque, adressées, stockées et traitées. Ce qui disparaît est le monopole d’une conception herméneutique de la lecture qui faisait d’un monde d’idées universelles le fondement et l’horizon de la littérature et de la lecture, pour laisser place aux matérialités de l’écriture et à une prise en compte renouvelée de la visualité de la page graphique.
