Unstable cardiac injury complicated with septic shock—a challenge
Authors: Garg Neha , Soni Kapil Dev , Aggarwal Richa 
Published: April 2016

Abstract

Background
Road traffic accident accounts for 70 % to 80 % of the blunt cardiac injury. The true incidence varies in the literature due to non-uniform criteria for diagnosis.

Case Presentation
Here, we describe the case of a young male presenting after blunt chest injury and hemodynamic instability. Initially, the patient had frequent episodes of arrhythmias and hypotension due to cardiac injury per se. However, he was stabilized by day 2. Subsequently, patient developed cellulitis followed by septic shock and succumbed to cellulitis on day 5 of injury.

Conclusion
Sepsis is difficult to be diagnosed and treated in the presence of cardiac injury. Myocardial depression has been found in sepsis, which contributes as an added comorbidity in an already compromised heart function. Sepsis also interferes with the diagnosis and follow-up of progress of blunt cardiac injury.
Post-burn breast reconstruction using an artificial dermis—a long-term follow-up

Published: April 2016

Abstract

Background
Full thickness burns of the chest in childhood are a devastating problem that requires challenging reconstructive options.
Integra is a bilaminate artificial dermis composed of shark chondroitin 6-sulfate and bovine collagen. The dermal matrix serves as a scaffold for fibroblasts and endothelial cells. Vascularization of the matrix begins after 2–3 weeks, and eventually, the matrix incorporates with the tissue to create a new dermis. The main advantage of the Integra is that the neodermis is of the same quality as a native dermis.

Case presentation
In this case report, we present post-burn breast reconstruction of a 12-year-old girl using Integra, with a long follow-up of 7 years. To the best of our knowledge, there is no published follow-up of breast development after reconstruction with Integra from its beginning point at the age of puberty until after the growing process has terminated.

Conclusions
Integra is a reliable reconstructive tool for burned breast. If done before puberty, it can help in getting normal developing tissue with satisfying esthetic results of size, shape and symmetry.

BackgroundTranscranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-pharmacological intervention for depression. It has mixed results, possibly caused by study heterogeneity.AimsTo assess tDCS efficacy and to explore individual response predictors.MethodSystematic review and individual patient data meta-analysis.ResultsData were gathered from six randomised sham-controlled trials, enrolling 289 patients. Active tDCS was significantly superior to sham for response (34% v. 19% respectively, odds ratio (OR) = 2.44, 95% CI 1.38–4.32, number needed to treat (NNT) = 7), remission (23.1% v. 12.7% respectively, OR = 2.38, 95% CI 1.22–4.64, NNT = 9) and depression improvement (B coefficient 0.35, 95% CI 0.12–0.57). Mixed-effects models showed that, after adjustment for other predictors and confounders, treatment-resistant depression and higher tDCS ‘doses' were, respectively, negatively and positively associated with tDCS efficacy.ConclusionsThe effect size of tDCS treatment was comparable with those reported for repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and antidepressant drug treatment in primary care. The most important parameters for optimisation in future trials are depression refractoriness and tDCS dose.
Thinking that one's life was in danger: perceived life threat in individuals directly or indirectly exposed to terror
Authors: Heir Trond , Blix Ines , Knatten Charlotte K. 
Published: April 2016

BackgroundPerceived life threat is associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Still, it is not known whether perceived threat may be important for PTSD in people indirectly exposed to trauma.AimsTo examine the prevalence of perceived life threat and the association with PTSD in individuals directly or indirectly exposed to terror.MethodData are cross-sectional from a survey 10 months after the 2011 Oslo bombing. Perceived life threat was measured by the question: ‘How great do you think the danger was that you would die?’ scored on a five-point scale. PTSD was measured with the PTSD Checklist (PCL).ResultsThe retrospective belief that one's life was in great or overwhelming danger was reported by 65% and 22% of employees who had been present or not present, respectively, at the site of the bomb explosion (n= 1923). A high perceived life threat was associated with PTSD among those present (odds ratio (OR) = 5.7, 95% CI 1.9–16.9) and not present (OR = 5.2. 95% CI 3.0–9.0), even after adjusting for objective exposure, demographics and neuroticism.ConclusionsPerceived life threat may play a central role in the development and maintenance of PTSD in people directly as well as indirectly exposed to terror. Moderating perceptions of having been in serious danger may be an appropriate approach to the prevention and treatment of PTSD.

Published: April 2016

The article provides the analysis of the current business environment in the country, a classification of the factors hampering the development of small business; the ways to adapt foreign experience of development of crediting of small business in the Russian conditions are presented. At present stage of development of small enterprises their activity is complicated by a number of problems, among which the problem of insufficiency of own financial resources deserves special attention and the difficulty of borrowing, which reduces the effectiveness and impact of the activity of small enterprises.
To identify the key small business lending trends in banks the study was conducted, which resulted in the conclusion that for the expansion of the volume of bank lending to small businesses in the Orel region and Russia it is necessary to increase the resource base of credit institutions (including the growth rate of equity capital) and investment attractiveness of lending. So the article identified the key trends in the development of bank lending to small businesses in the region and in the Russian Federation.
Non-functioning parathyroid adenoma: a rare differential diagnosis for vocal-cord paralysis
Authors: Kamali D , Sharpe A , Nagarajan S , Elsaify W 
Published: April 2016

Introduction Adenomas of the parathyroid gland typically present with symptoms of hyperparathyroidism, manifested by fatigue, bone pain, abdominal pain, weakness, dyspepsia, nephrolithiasis and skeletal bone disease. Here, we describe, for the first time, a case of a non-functioning benign tumour of the parathyroid gland presenting as vocal-cord paralysis. Case History A 49-year-old male presented with a 10-week history of dysphonia and the feeling of having ‘something stuck in my throat’. History-taking elicited no other associated symptoms. Flexible nasal endoscopy demonstrated paralysis of the left vocal cord. Computed tomography of the neck revealed a cystic lesion, 18mm in diameter adjacent to the oesophagus. After more rigorous tests, a neck exploration, left hemithyroidectomy, excision of the left paratracheal mass and level-VI neck dissection was undertaken, without incident to the patient or surgical team. Histology was consistent with a parathyroid adenoma. Conclusions This case emphasises the importance of including adenomatous disease of the parathyroid gland in the differential diagnosis despite normal parathyroid status as a cause of vocal cord palsy.
A politics of listening in Isabel Coixet’s Escuchando al juez Garzón (2011)
Authors: Hogan Erin K. 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
The coincidence of Baltasar Garzón’s recent trial, which evaluated the legality of certain investigations he conducted as Audiencia Nacional judge, and the bicentennial of La Pepa, Spain’s first though brief experiment in democratic constitutionalism, invite reflection on the state of democracy in Spain. This article on Catalonian director Isabel Coixet’s documentary primarily explores the practice of listening in the filmed interview of Garzón, Escuchando al juez Garzón (Coixet, 2011), and the relationship between listening and democracy that comes to light within the context of the commemoration of La Pepa concurrent to the trials that suspended Garzón from the bench for eleven years. This piece begins by drawing from the work of documentary scholar Bill Nichols and political scientist Susan Bickford, respectively, for its analysis of the voice of the documentary and the practice and promotion of democratic listening.

Core elements, crime prevention policies and limitations of Agnew’s general theory of crime and delinquency
Authors: Eker Ahmet 
Published: April 2016

Agnew has integrated and re-organized several leading criminological theories and results of empirical researches arguing that this new general theory has the capability of explaining all crime types. Effects of five life domains (self, family, peer, school and work) on individuals’ behaviors and decision making process have been explained in this theory. These five life domains encompass and affect whole lifespan of a person starting from the early childhood. These life domains not only affect individuals but also have mutual effect on each other. In addition, several external factors have effects on individuals, and in order to commit crimes, these external factors should interact with other variables (biological factors, family, school, etc.). If these life domains and other external factors have negative effects on individuals, the probability of offending will increase. On the other hand, if they provide positive support, their effects will protect individuals from engaging in crime. Additionally, this theory tries to explain the reasons why some individuals engage in criminal behaviors while others do not even though they share the same environments. Prior crime has been found one of the strongest factors that cause subsequent crimes. The core elements, variables that cause crime, crime prevention policies, and limitations of this theory are analyzed in this paper. ÖzetAgnew birçok önemli teoriyi ve bilimsel çalışmaların sonuçlarını birleştirerek ve yeniden organize ederek tüm suçları açıkladığını iddia ettiği kapsamlı bir genel suç teorisi yazmıştır. Bu teoride suça doğruca etki eden beş farklı yaşam alanının (bireyin kendisi, aile, arkadaş, okul ve iş) bireyin karar verme sürecine ve davranışlarına olan etkileri anlatılmıştır. Bu beş yaşam alanı bireylerin çocukluk yıllarından başlayarak tüm yaşantısını kaplamakta ve etkilemektedir. Yaşam alanları sadece bireyi etkilememekte aynı zamanda birbirlerini de etkilemektedirler. Bunlara ilaveten, diğer harici birçok faktörün bireyler üzerinde etkili olduğunu ve suçun oluşabilmesi için bu faktörlerin diğer faktörler ile (biyolojik faktörler, aile, okul, vb.) beraber mevcut olması ve etkileşime geçmesi gerektiği iddia edilmiştir. Bu yaşam alanları ve diğer faktörler bireye negatif etki yaptıklarında suç işleme ihtimalinin artacağı, öte yandan pozitif destek sağlıyorlarsa suçtan koruyucu etki yapacakları belirtilmiştir. Ayrıca, aynı koşullarda yaşayan bireylerin suç işleme veya işlememe konusunda sergiledikleri farklı davranışların sebepleri anlatılmıştır. Önceki suçların daha sonra suç işlemeye çok büyük etkisinin olduğu bulunmuştur. Bu makalede bu teorinin temel argümanları, suça neden olan faktörler, suç önleme önerileri ve bu teoriye getirilen eleştiriler incelenmiştir.
Zur Usability von anbieterunabhängigen Metasuchoberflächen für die Fachinformationsrecherche im Invisible Web -
Authors: Heinisch Christian 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
„invisible" werden diejenigen Informationen im Internet genannt, die sich hinter den Eingabemasken zu strukturierten, oft kostenpflichtigen Datenbanken verbergen. Sich im Rahmen einer Recherche sequentiell durch die unterschiedlichen Suchoberflächen durchzuarbeiten ist weder effizient noch benutzerfreundlich. Die Effizienz der Fachinformationsrecherche kann durch den Einsatz von anbieterunabhängigen Metasuchoberflächen jedoch erheblich gesteigert werden. Die Usability einer Metasuchoberfläche für die parallele Recherche in heterogenen Fachinformationsdatenbanken bemisst sich an der Einfachheit und Intuitivität der Bedienung und der Vermeidung von Informationsüberflutung. Der Aufsatz diskutiert die Usability und Effizienz von Metasuchoberflächen für die parallele Recherche an fünf typischen Herausforderungen.

Human enhancement and the concept of liminality
Authors: Popper Miroslav 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
The article considers human enhancement from the perspective of liminality. It defines the concept of liminality, introduced by ethnologist van Gennep in an attempt to generalise the rites of passage. It shows how, thanks to Turner, this concept has spread beyond anthropology to characterise the many situations ‘betwixt and between’ associated with transitioning from the original social structure to the new one. The article points out that, by definition, liminal situations break down traditional structures; hence, polemical debates on whether to allow human enhancement cannot be conducted from the position of existing normative standards. It argues, on the contrary, that these must be fundamentally expanded so as to reflect the current transitional phase from treatment to enhancement and that preparations must be made for the policies and institutions that will deal with the consequences. Otherwise, we will face threat of a new kind of totalitarianism.
A critical approach to Hannah Arendt’s concept of worldliness and its applicability in the social sciences
Authors: Gómez Noelia Bueno 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
This article will explain and critically examine Hannah Arendt’s concept of worldliness with the aim of clarifying its limitations when it is used in the context of the social sciences, particularly where understanding and contributing to solving the problem of the forced displacement of people are concerned. Arendt defines “worldliness” as “having a world” in the double sense of having a tangible world of references and a political world. Her ideas regarding the worldliness of tribes and stateless people will be discussed and criticized, together with her avoidance of considering the relevance of oral history and oral resources and her position on human rights. Finally, this article proposes that social scientists require a broader conception of worldliness, in which intangible resources like shared oral narratives, virtual networks or shared views of the homeland are not dismissed, and can even serve as a basis for fighting for political and social rights.
Emotions and political rhetoric: Perception of danger, group conflict and the biopolitics of fear
Authors: Gil Marta 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
In the present article I shall argue that human emotion is multifaceted and has a cognitive dimension in virtue of its intricate connections with beliefs, memories, imagination, and other products of human rationality. Human emotion also has a social and political dimension. When we think about fear we cannot characterize it as a mere stimulus-response phenomenon: it is, due to its cognitive facet, more complex and related to our ideas about survival and well-being. This leaves fear exposed to political rhetoric, and thus to political manipulation. Fear can be aroused, guided and nourished amongst the population, giving rise to a biopolitics of fear. In this article, I will consider the heuristics and biases that lead people to evaluate risks mistakenly, and governments to consequently act erroneously. I will also consider how these psychological mechanisms are exploited by social entrepreneurs in order to achieve their own goals, such as reinforce in-group bonds, generate a sense of crisis or keep hold of power. I shall argue that we must be alert to certain kinds of political discourse that pose a threat to democratic society.
A note on the rate of convergence for Chebyshev-Lobatto and Radau systems
Authors: Berriochoa Elías , Cachafeiro Alicia , Díaz Jaime , Martínez Eduardo 
Published: April 2016

AbstractThis paper is devoted to Hermite interpolation with Chebyshev-Lobatto and Chebyshev-Radau nodal points. The aim of this piece of work is to establish the rate of convergence for some types of smooth functions. Although the rate of convergence is similar to that of Lagrange interpolation, taking into account the asymptotic constants that we obtain, the use of this method is justified and it is very suitable when we dispose of the appropriate information.
FMR study of samples obtained by nitriding and nitrides reduction of nanocrystalline iron
Authors: Typek Janusz , Guskos Nikos , Zolnierkiewicz Grzegorz , Guskos Aleksander , Karolina Kielbasa , Pelka Rafal , Arabczyk Walerian 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
Samples obtained by nitriding of promoted nanocrystalline iron and the nitrides reduction at various nitriding potential in terms of thermodynamic parameters were investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance/ferromagnetic resonance (EPR/FMR) method at room temperature. Experimental FMR spectra were fitted by the Dysonian-type resonance lines arising from the presence of different Fe–N phases. The obtained FMR parameters allowed us to identify the component phases and to determine their magnetic properties. In general, the proposed simple method of decomposition of the FMR spectra produced results on the phase content in investigated samples that were consistent with XRD measurements and additionally, magnetic characteristics of the studied nanomagnets.
Synthesis and characterization of Cu-MFI catalyst for the direct medium temperature range NO decomposition
Authors: Valkaj Karolina Maduna , Tomašić Vesna , Katović Andrea , Bielańska ElżBieta 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
In this study the physico-chemical and catalytic properties of copper bearing MFI zeolites (Cu-MFI) with different Si/Al and Si/Cu ratios were investigated. Two different methods for incorporation of metal ions into the zeolite framework were used: the ion exchange from the solution of copper acetate and the direct hydrothermal synthesis. Direct synthesis of a zeolite in the presence of copper-phosphate complexes was expected to generate more active copper species necessary for the desired reaction than the conventional ion exchange method. Direct decomposition of NO was used as a model reaction, because this reaction still offers a very attractive approach to NOX removal. The catalytic properties of zeolite samples were studied using techniques, such as XRD, SEM, EPR and nitrogen adsorption/desorption measurements at 77 K. Results of the kinetic investigation revealed that both methods are applicable for the preparation of the catalysts with active sites capable of catalyzing the NO decomposition. It was found out that Cu-MFI zeolites obtained through direct synthesis are promising catalysts for NO decomposition, especially at lower reaction temperatures. The efﬁciency of the catalysts prepared by both methods is compared and discussed.
QUIETE: a scheme for a new index of the
environmental quality of green areas
Authors: Brambilla Giovanni , Gallo Veronica 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
Notwithstanding the green areas are important
for preserving and promoting the health of population,
they are often exposed to noise pollution, especially in urban
areas. However, the perceived quality of a green area
does not depend only by its sonic environment, as all the
human senses contribute to form the individual appraisal
together with other features of the area. Thus, an holistic
approach is required as that offered by the soundscape approach.
The present paper proposes the scheme of a new index,
QUIETE, to quantify the quality of a public park, taking
into account its perceived overall quality and the relative
sound level determined by the difference between the
noise descriptor LA (i.e. LAeq, LA50, . . .) and a reference
level Lref . By the QUIETE index it is easy to identify the areas
requiring noise mitigation actions, and provide understandable
information to the users of the park on the areas
for their enjoyable fruition. The formulation of the QUIETE
index is rather flexible and the reference level Lref has to
be fixed considering the objective to accomplish. To evaluate
the feasibility and potential of QUIETE, it has been
applied to the data collected in 8 urban parks in Milan and
Rome with different location (from downtown to suburban
area) and size. The Lref value has been set at the noise
limit issued by current Italian legislation for green areas
(LAeq = 50 dBA for day-time). A “tentative” rating scale
for QUIETE is also proposed and its values are reported by
a colored scale on the map of the park to summarize the
data and to pr
Nach dem Pflegestärkungsgesetz II: Eine alternative Interpretation der Probleme und ein Plädoyer für potenzialorientierte Reformen
Authors: Kehl Konstantin 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
The German long-term care insurance has been introduced 20 years ago and recently reformed, but is still subject to criticism. A continued decline of informal care-giving is indicated by a decreasing percentage of people who receive cash benefits for informal care. It renders the political goal of strengthening informal care unachievable, even though it would contribute to the financial sustainability and a more encompassing approach to care. Referring to socio-demographic developments, the author suggests a capability-oriented policy strategy aiming at the mobilization of resources within the social proximity of the affected elderly. Such a strategy would not only contribute to reduce costs, but would also increase quality of life and public legitimacy. As part of such an approach policy instruments will be discussed that aim at activating and facilitating informal care.
