Revision knee surgery techniques
Authors: Thienpont Emmanuel 
Published: June 2016

Revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) is a challenging, complex procedure. A comprehensive understanding of the anatomy, challenges and pitfalls is essential to achieve a good outcome for the patient. This review discusses the determinants of good outcomes of rTKA. These include, among other factors, the choice of the surgical approach, removal of the components, adequate reconstruction of the joint line and posterior condylar offset and the use of offset stems, as well as choosing the appropriate level of constraint. The modularity of many modern knee revision systems can help to address such issues as anatomical mismatch, gap balancing and malalignment. A well-planned surgical approach must be used in rTKA. A thorough understanding of related knee anatomy is essential. The incidence of joint-line elevation after rTKA is high. Contralateral radiographs, as well as algorithms based on the relationship between bony landmarks and the joint line, can help to reconstruct a physiological joint line during rTKA. Modularity added to systems, such as offset stems, are useful enhancements that may further improve the reconstruction of the anatomy. There are several options for managing the patella, with the best choice depending on the status of the patellar component and residual bone stock.Cite this article: Thienpont E.

What do we get from navigation in primary THA?

Published: June 2016

Navigation in primary total hip arthroplasty has a history of over 20 years. During this process, imageless computer navigation can be particularly helpful in optimally restoring the hip’s biomechanics. This involves the accurate placement of the acetabular component with the determination of the anteversion and abduction, whereby the navigated femur-first technique also allows for a calculation of the combined anteversion. Additional critical parameters such as the reconstruction of the rotation centre, as well as the femoral and acetabular offset, can also be optimally adjusted. Last but not least, an intra-operative evaluation and equalisation of the leg length is possible. Nonetheless, the disadvantages of this surgical technique in terms of the high costs in the acquisition and preservation of the necessary devices, as well as the longer operation time, must be taken into account. However, economic aspects are not the only thing preventing widespread use of the navigation technique. Determining the plane of reference (APP) for the optimal orientation of the implants is based on palpation of the bony landmarks – and this is influenced by the thickness of the soft tissue layer. Furthermore, the experience of the surgeon constitutes a variable that influences the accuracy of navigation. In summary, hip navigation certainly offers an interesting technique for the optimisation of total hip arthroplasty with reconstruction of proper biomechanics. At the same time, there is currently a lack of high-quality randomised controlled long-term trials that evaluate the clinical advantage for the patients, together with cost utility and survival rates.Cite this article: Renner L, Janz V, Perka C, Wassilew GI.

Aetiology and pathogenesis of bone marrow lesions and osteonecrosis of the knee
Authors: Marcacci Maurilio , Andriolo Luca , Kon Elizaveta , Shabshin Nogah , Filardo Giuseppe 
Published: June 2016

Bone marrow lesions (BML) of the knee are a frequent MRI finding, present in many different pathologies including trauma, post-cartilage surgery, osteoarthritis, transient BML syndromes, spontaneous insufficiency fractures, and true osteonecrosis. Osteonecrosis (ON) is in turn divided into spontaneous osteonecrosis (SONK), which is considered to be correlated to subchondral insufficiency fractures (SIFK), and avascular necrosis (AVN) which is mainly ascribable to ischaemic events. Every condition has a MRI pattern, a different clinical presentation, and specific histological features which are important in the differential diagnosis. The current evidence supports an overall correlation between BML and patient symptoms, although literature findings are variable, and very little is known about the natural history and the progression of these lesions. A full understanding of BML will be mandatory in the future to better address the different pathologies and develop appropriately-targeted treatments.

Distal radioulnar joint arthroplasty with implants: a systematic review
Authors: Calcagni Maurizio , Giesen Thomas 
Published: June 2016

A severely painful, dysfunctional, or destroyed distal radio-ulnar joint (DRUJ) can be reconstructed by fusion, interposition of soft tissue, or by arthroplasty using prostheses. The objective of this study was to review the literature on implants and evaluate their effectiveness in terms of pain relief, range of motion and longevity. A search was carried out using protocols and well-defined criteria in PubMed, the Cochrane Library and by screening reference lists. The review was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. Of the 27 publications reporting on nine different implants, we excluded reports with less than five cases and silastic replacements of the ulna head. Eighteen publications describing a total of five implants were selected for analysis. Nine of the publications were useful for the evaluation of implant longevity. Despite methodological shortcomings in many of the source documents, a summary estimate was possible. It seems that DRUJ implants have good potential to improve function through pain reduction; an improvement was observed in 17 series, although it was significant in only seven series. Instability is not uncommon with ulna head-only implants, but they cause fewer clinical problems and re-interventions than might be expected. The risk of deep infection is small with the available implants. Overall implant survival in papers with at least five years’ follow-up is 95%, with a slightly better longevity of 98% for the constrained implants. Periprosthetic osteolysis/radiolucency is frequently reported. Its causes and consequences are not clarified.Cite this article: Calcagni M, Giesen T.

Published: May 2016

Nasutitermes corniger shows preferential feeding for the wood of different tree species, but it is not known whether attractiveness is a function of the state of decay. This study examined the foraging behavior of N. corniger towards wood in different stages of decay. Wood was exposed to weather for durations of 0, 3, 6 or 9 months. Then the wood was placed in a standard foraging arena with termites. Exploration and recruitment behavior were recorded for 1 h. Separate bioassays were conducted for three species: Pinus elliottii, Eucalyptus grandis and Manilkara huberi. In the tests with P. elliottii and E. grandis, more individuals were recruited to wood decayed for 6 months (191 and 185, respectively) than to undecayed wood (12 and 69, respectively). Similarly, more individuals were recruited to decayed M. huberi wood than undecayed, but only after 9 months (249 and 7, respectively). Decayed wood has therefore been demonstrated to be more attractive to N. corniger than undecayed wood. The different decomposition rates necessary to increase attractiveness may be explained by differences in wood density.
Effect of Soil Water Content on Toxicity of Fipronil Against Solenopsis invicta
Authors: Xu Yi-Juan 
Published: May 2016

This study evaluated the effect of Fipronil on the survival of fire ant workers with different doses and soil water contents and further examined the persistent effect of the same dose of powder at 10%, 50% and 90% soil water content. The results showed that mortality was positively correlated to the dosage. This result indicated that the survival rates of workers treated by powder at different RS W (Relative soil water content) were significantly different (P <0.01). At the RS W of 10% and 20%, the survival rates of workers were 40.67 and 49.00 respectively, which showed no obvious difference from other treatments but were lower than the control. The survival rate decreased sharply when the RS W was 90%, and was obviously lower than that of treatments at moderate (30-50%) RS W. The contact powder showed worst persistent effect when the soil water content was 10%, but at the soil water content of 50% and 90%, the lethal effect of the powder was higher and was more persistent.
Dilemma of the Lovesick Hero: Masculine Images and Politics of the Body in Seventeenth-Century Korean Love Tales
Authors: Lee Janet Yoon-sun 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
This article explores the masculine images and ideals produced by the love tales of seventeenth-century Korea. Although male characters were undoubtedly represented as vulnerable and passive characters, they were also offered opportunities to represent passionate love. Particularly, the exploration focuses on the configurations of lovesick men with a close reading of Unyŏng chŏn (The tale of Unyŏng) and Sangsa-dong ki (The tale of Sangsa-dong), which provide a model of romance fiction while at the same time exposing desire as it is regulated and expressed through Confucian ideology. At the center of the discussion is the question of the possible political effects of male characters’ romantic experience of “being lovesick”—what does male lovesickness represent, and how do the characters manage to negotiate with cultural norms while reproducing the significance of the male body? I examine the dilemma of male characters pursuing their romantic goals of love and marriage under the frame of lovesickness. Within the confines of Confucian society, which limited relations between men and women, rather than perceiving characters involved in romance as mere victims of love within an oppressive culture, this study reveals the complex negotiations between mind and body, morals and sexual desire, and gender ideals and romantic love.
Blurring Boundaries: Mixed Residence, Extraterritoriality, and Citizenship in Seoul, 1876–1910
Authors: Lee Sinwoo 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
This article examines the tensions surrounding the opening of Seoul to foreign trade and residence and how mixed residence and extraterritoriality played a decisive role in the boundaries of residence in Seoul as well as the boundaries of jurisdiction and citizenship in Korea from 1876 to 1910. Different from most capital cities in East Asia, Seoul opened in 1882 as a city of mixed residence with no foreign settlements established exclusively for foreign residents. As a result, the entire space inside the walls became an arena where multiple extraterritorialities directly challenged the sovereignty of the Korean state. It was against this backdrop of imperial powers’ growing presences and their attempts to make Seoul into an extraterritorial space that the newly established Taehan Empire strove to refashion Seoul into the imperial capital Hwangsŏng, as a means to reinsert its power into the capital’s space and residents. Despite its efforts, however, this article shows that the Korean government was losing its grip on both the capital’s space and residents, as a growing number of opportunistic Koreans evaded Korean jurisdiction by taking advantage of extraterritoriality or obtaining foreign citizenship.
Woman in Ethnocultural Peril: South Korean Nationalist Erotic Films of the 1980s
Authors: Lee Yun-Jong 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
As the most popular genre of South Korean cinema of the 1980s, erotic film not only played a breakthrough role after the national film industry’s catastrophic decline since the early 1970s but also seemed to conform to the totalitarian state’s cultural policy of promoting the “3Ss” (screen, sex, and sport) that served to control the minjung (people) in the 1980s. The erotic filmmakers’ seemingly conforming strategy has long caused South Korean film critics and historians to indiscriminately detract from the film genre by pejoratively tagging it “ero film” and to be prejudiced against its lack of artistic and ideological value. However, ironically, some of its subgenre films, particularly nationalist ero films, overflow with minjung nationalist ideology equipped with anti-Westernization and anti-Americanism. Resorting to the spectacularization of Korean woman’s body as the Korean peninsula and of male sexual assault of her body as symbolic of the colonization of South Korea, nationalist ero film interrogates the modernity and geopolitics of the nation. Yet, this article attempts to complicate and problematize the nationalist efforts of the sub-genre in the transnational feminist perspective by textually analyzing Murǔp kwa murǔp sai (Between the knees, 1984) and Kip ko p’urǔn pam (Deep blue night, 1984) to show how patriarchal the minjung nationalist ideology is and how this leftist thought paradoxically mirrors the oppressive regime’s political agenda.
Monetary Flows and the Movements of Children: The Transnational Adoption Industrial Complex
Authors: McKee Kimberly D. 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
Beginning with the worldwide adoption of nearly 200,000 Korean children from the Republic of Korea (ROK, South Korea) following the Korean War, transnational adoption has become a solidified practice. This article examines how South Korea’s relationship with the United States has become a template for a multimillion dollar industry spanning the globe. Specifically, this article finds that smaller deterritorialized sites—the South Korean state, orphanages, adoption agencies, and American immigration policy—operate in conjunction with one another. From their interwoven connections, the transnational adoption industrial complex (TAIC) emerged. The deployment of assemblage theory exposes how seemingly disparate organizations and governmental policies and procedures are neither static nor isolated but rather interconnect to create a global adoption economy.
Shifting Agencies through New Media: New Social Statuses for Female South Korean Shamans
Authors: Sarfati Liora 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
South Korean shamans (mansin) increasingly rely on new media for networking and advertising their services. They exert power and intention through their manipulation of the Internet and other mass communication media, while facilitating the expansion of these spiritual activities in South Korea and internationally, despite the lingering stigma. Historically, Korean shamanism (musok) was an orally transmitted tradition that was mastered mainly by illiterate low-ranking women within the neo-Confucian hierarchy. A growth in literacy has sparked a process of change, which has been accelerated by new media and technology. Since the 1970s, the individual agency of mansin in creating positive publicity and a positive social image for themselves has significantly increased. Evidence of this new agency is based on fieldwork among successful mansin in Seoul. Daily and ritual mansin activities, film representation of mansin, Internet home pages, and online portals of musok associations are analyzed to demonstrate how the visual and textual dimensions of the new media work jointly with other semiotic modalities to construct the image and scope of musok in contemporary South Korea and worldwide.
Family Is Beautiful: The Affective Weight of Mothers-in-Law in Family Talk in South Korea
Authors: Tilland Bonnie 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
In this article I examine ways of narrating social issues affecting families and perceptions in changes to lived family structure. I argue that the drastic decrease in the number of married couples living with parents-in-law has not seemed to mitigate the historically fraught relationship between daughter-in-law and mother-in-law, which remains an emotional touch point. This can be seen in the circulation of public discourses about this relationship. Rather than focus on the exact reality of these shifting prioritizations of affective weights, this article examines the ways public discourse (print media, TV dramas) about family relationships intersects with people’s real-life experiences with family. The extended family represented in the weekend television drama Life Is Beautiful showcases a laundry list of important contemporary social issues: divorced and remarried families, eldercare, homosexual relationships, etc. Although increasingly separated from actual co-residence, the mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship gains resonance in public discourse and comes to stand in for other familial relationships.
Ch’anggyŏng Garden as Neocolonial Space: Spectacles of Anticommunist Militarism and Industrial Development in Early South(ern) Korea
Authors: Henry Todd A. 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
This article uses Ch’anggyŏng Garden, a Chosŏn Dynasty palace transformed into an amusement park under Japanese rule, to trace the violent process of (South) Korea’s decolonization in the decade after 1945. It argues that the garden’s colonial afterlives resulted from contentious interactions between the state-building projects of bourgeois elites and the everyday practices of subaltern subjects. For his part, Syngman Rhee sought to identify the garden as a Japanese vestige, but faced popular opposition by citizens who favored its reuse as a recreational grounds. As a result of these contentious interactions, postcolonial leaders learned to creatively exploit this powerful, if unruly, site. To highlight these contestations, I analyze two overlapping spectacles aimed at channeling the spiritual and material energies of the masses in directions that would promote nationalist projects. The first heroicized individuals who died on behalf of their new state, encouraged future generations of South Koreans to support the ever-expanding Hot Wars of Asia. If these memorial services sought to promote anticommunist militarism, industrial expositions persuaded visitors to support state-led projects of capitalist development. Both exploitative, these interrelated projects benefited citizens in markedly uneven ways, as government and business officials subjected them to their neocolonial agendas.
Filling in the ‘floating gaps’ in the history of the Greek Orthodox community of Ayvalık: A study in cultural memory
Authors: Karachristos Ioannis 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
During the second half of the eighteenth century there was a significant increase in the Greek Orthodox Christian population in the region of the western coast of Asia Minor, which was accompanied by the establishment of new settlements and the growth of existing ones, as Ayvalık. In the following article we will study both the formation of this city’s ‘tradition of origin’ and its various transformations in the course of time. Ayvalık’s cultural memory was neither fixed nor unified since members of subsequent generations, as well as members of different sociocultural groups, often tended to fill the emerging ‘floating gaps’ according to their, sometimes, competing political agendas. In doing so, they formed nostalgic narratives by making use of certain elements of local and national history, myths and legends, folk tradition, religion and culture in order to mobilize groups and form identities.
Investigating deaf children’s plural and diverse use of sign and spoken languages in a super diverse context
Authors: Swanwick Ruth , Wright Sue , Salter Jackie 
Published: May 2016

AbstractThis paper examines the meaning of plurality and diversity with respect to deaf children’s sign and spoken language exposure and repertoire within a super diverse context. Data is drawn from a small-scale project that took place in the North of England in a Local Authority (LA) site for deaf education. The project documented the language landscape of this site and gathered five individual case studies of deaf children to examine their plural and diverse language practices at home and at school. Analysis of the language landscape and case studies from this context is undertaken in order to define and exemplify deaf children’s language plurality and diversity in terms of context and individual experience. Concepts of repertoire are explored with particular reference to the unique type of translanguaging that the plural use of sign and spoken languages affords. Implications of these preliminary insights are discussed in terms of the development of methodologies that are sensitive to the particular translanguaging practices of deaf children, and approaches to pedagogy that are appropriately nuanced and responsive to deaf children’s language plurality and diversity.
Das Netzwerk als Signatur der Epoche?
Authors: Wolf Harald 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
Der Aufsatz behandelt Aspekte der Netzwerkdebatte, die für eine soziologische Deutung der Gegenwartsgesellschaft empirisch wie theoretisch wichtig sind. Zunächst diskutiert er das Konzept der „Netzwerkgesellschaft“ von Castells als Beispiel für die Promotion des Netzes zur Signatur der Epoche. Anschließend zeichnet er die soziale Dynamik des Internet nach, um dann die gewonnenen Einsichten für eine Einschätzung von Problemen und Perspektiven der sozialwissenschaftlichen Netzwerkforschung zu nutzen. Eingebunden in eine „relationale“ Soziologie, so die Schlussfolgerung, vermag die Netzwerkforschung einen wertvollen Beitrag zur Analyse der Gegenwartsgesellschaft zu liefern; die Signatur der Epoche hingegen bezeichnet der Begriff des Netzwerkes nicht.
Leistungsbeurteilung und Geschlechtsdiskriminierung

Published: June 2016

Abstract
In Zeiten einer zunehmenden Bedeutung betrieblicher Personalbeurteilung und leistungsabhängiger Entlohnung stellt sich die Frage, inwieweit Instrumente der Leistungsbeurteilung Geschlechtsdiskriminierungen in personal- und führungspolitischen Entscheidungen stützen oder sogar verdecken können. Der Artikel wirft einen kritischen Blick auf unser gesellschaftlich verankertes Verständnis von Leistung, bietet eine dazu differierende Beschreibung der Leistungsbeurteilung als sozialen Prozess an und skizziert auf dieser Basis Quellen der Geschlechtsdiskriminierung. Abschließend werden Gestaltungshinweise für Instrumente der Leistungsbeurteilung gegeben.
Kontinuität und Wandel im deutschen System der industriellen Beziehungen: Offene Fragen
Authors: Streeck Wolfgang 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
Trotz tiefgehenden wirtschaftlichen und politischen Wandels erscheint das deutsche System der industriellen Beziehungen bemerkenswert stabil. Neue Forschungsergebnisse über den Einfluss der Internationalisierung auf die Beziehungen zwischen Arbeitgeber und Arbeitnehmern in den einhundert größten deutschen Unternehmen bestätigen diesen Eindruck. Genauere Betrachtung zeigt jedoch eine wachsende Abhängigkeit des Tarifverhandlungssystems von dem System der sozialen Sicherung; Tendenzen zu einem verfestigten Dualismus im Arbeitsmarkt und im Arbeitsmarktregime; eine Einkapselung des ursprünglich universalistischen Systems industrieller Bürgerrechte in ein schrumpfendes Segment der Wirtschaft; eine zunehmende Entpolitisierung und „Privatisierung“ von Beteiligungsrechten; einen Trend zur Integration von Interessenvertretung am Arbeitsplatz in die Arbeitsorganisation; und einen Rückgang der Fähigkeit des Nationalstaats, in die private Sphäre großer Unternehmen einzugreifen.
