Practise on plastic: the impact of high fidelity simulation on learning and teaching
Authors: Nwankwo Ugonma , Hayes Catherine 
Published: September 2016

The integration of high fidelity simulation (HFS) as an adjunct resource into healthcare curricula is not a new phenomenon. Healthcare assistants (HCAs) are increasingly likely to be expected either to partake in high fidelity simulation training, or to work in the context of a multidisciplinary team (MDT) where this is commonplace activity in training or continuing professional development. HFS is regularly used in the context of medical, nursing and the allied healthcare professions to provide realistic scenarios where students can practise their clinical skills and interventions in an ethos of support and constructive feedback. Over the past five years particularly, the use of simulated practice as a teaching and learning tool within healthcare has increased in importance; it is seen as the major teaching method for practising and assessing developing skills, knowledge, attitudes and meaningful decision-making within the field of healthcare ( Humphreys, 2013 ). The use of HFS offers a safe, non-threatening environment, creating opportunities for learners to develop cognitive, psychomotor and affective competencies away from the patient's bedside ( Murray et al, 2008 ). This article provides an insight into the educational significance of HFS, alongside issues of implementation and educational focus.

Published: September 2016

ObjectivesThis study aimed to characterise and qualitatively grade the severity of the corrosion particles released into the hip joint following taper corrosion.MethodsThe 26 cases examined were CoC/ABG Modular (n = 13) and ASR/SROM (n = 13). Blood serum metal ion levels were collected before and after revision surgery. The haematoxylin and eosin tissue sections were graded on the presence of fibrin exudates, necrosis, inflammatory cells and corrosion products. The corrosion products were identified based on visible observation and graded on abundance. Two independent observers blinded to the clinical patient findings scored all cases. Elemental analysis was performed on corrosion products within tissue sections. X-Ray diffraction was used to identify crystalline structures present in taper debris.ResultsThe CoC/ABG Modular patients had a mean age of 64.6 years (49.4 to 76.5) and ASR/SROM patients had a mean age of 58.2 years (33.3 to 85.6). The mean time in situ for CoC/ABG was 4.9 years (2 to 6.4) and ASR/SROM was 6.1 years (2.5 to 8.1). The blood serum metal ion concentrations reduced following revision surgery with the exception of Cr levels within CoC/ABG. The grading of tissue sections showed that the macrophage response and metal debris were significantly higher for the ASR/SROM patients (p < 0.001). The brown/red particles were significantly higher for ASR/SROM (p < 0.001). The taper debris contained traces of titanium oxide, chromium oxide and aluminium nitride.ConclusionThis study characterised and qualitatively graded the severity of the corrosion particles released into the hip joint from tapers that had corrosion damage.

‘Laughter is a Harlequin’: Laughter and identity in a close reading of a Cuban punk band
Authors: Astley Tom 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
As Punk and Post-Punk have pointed out in previous issues (2.2 and 2.3), humour might be said to be at the heart of a variety of punk aesthetics, incorporating elements of satire, parody, shock and subversion as weapons against host cultures (and yet, paradoxically, often cementing those punk manifestations within and as constituent part of those same cultures). Rather than reassert the place (and types) of humour in punk, this article examines one of its symptoms, laughter, outlining the ‘dual face’ of laughter and its role in delineating both exclusionary and inclusionary identity spaces. By offering a close reading of several recorded bouts of laughter – some performed, manic and distinctly humourless, others apparently natural and spontaneous (though nonetheless deliberate parts of the recording) – in the work of controversial Cuban punk band Porno Para Ricardo, this article examines specifically the role laughter plays in the band’s work, but also suggests, more broadly, that laughter might constitute not only a telling identity marker for its audiences but also an important facet of the punk soundworld.
Striving for authenticity: Punk in China
Authors: Xiao Jian 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
This article explores issues of authenticity arising from an ethnographic study of punks in China. Through examining how participants articulate their punk lives, it focuses on one prominent aspect – pursuing authenticity in punk performance through deliberately choosing where and how to perform. Using the concepts of authenticity, I explore how punk musicians claim their own authenticity and perceive others within the punk group as inauthentic. I also examine how Chinese punks as a group attempt to establish certain performance-related norms regarding themes and styles, with the aim of challenging mainstream norms, the power of authorities and social morals in Chinese society. By unpacking the intragroup debates among punk musicians and their interpretations of punk practices as members of the punk group, I highlight various paths to striving for punk authenticity and the social implications of the punk phenomenon existing in China.

Objective(s)
High variability in clinical response to metformin is often observed in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients, and it highlights the need for identification of genetic components affecting the efficiency of metformin therapy. Aim of this observational study is to evaluate the role of tagSNPs (tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms) from genomic regions coding for six metformin transporter genes with respect to the short-term efficiency.

Design
102 tagSNPs in 6 genes coding for metformin transporters were genotyped in the group of 102 T2D patients treated with metformin for 3 months.

Methods
Most significant hits were analyzed in the group of 131 T2D patients from Slovakia. Pharmacokinetic study in 25 healthy nondiabetic volunteers was conducted to investigate the effects of identified polymorphisms.

Results
In the discovery group of 102 patients, minor alleles of rs3119309, rs7757336 and rs2481030 were significantly nominally associated with metformin inefficiency (P = 1.9 × 10−6 to 8.1 × 10−6). Effects of rs2481030 and rs7757336 did not replicate in the group of 131 T2DM patients from Slovakia alone, whereas rs7757336 was significantly associated with a reduced metformin response in combined group. In pharmacokinetic study, group of individuals harboring risk alleles of rs7757336 and rs2481030 displayed significantly reduced AUC∞ of metformin in plasma.

Conclusions
For the first time, we have identified an association between the lack of metformin response and SNPs rs3119309 and rs7757336 located in the 5′ flanking region of the genes coding for Organic cation transporter 2 and rs2481030 located in the 5′ flanking region of Organic cation transporter 3 that was supported by the results of a pharmacokinetic study on 25 healthy volunteers.

ĮvadasŠis klinikinis atvejis atspindi nenumatytą ligos pasireiškimą. Tikime, kad jis privers apgalvoti jau žinomą gerybinių navikų, tarp jų ir meningiomos, elgseną, kuri gali įgyti nepriklausomą metastazinį potencialą. Kadangi gerybinių navikų metastazės yra diagnozuojamos pavėluotai, šiuo pavyzdžiu siekiame plėsti klinicistų sąmoningumą ir budrumą nagrinėjant ligas, kurioms būdingos neįprastos klinikinės apraiškos. Tai pirmasis Lietuvoje aprašytas intrakranijinės meningiomos metastazavimo į plaučiusatvejis.Klinikinis atvejisAprašome 66 metų moters atvejį. Ji skundėsi nuolatiniu produktyviu kosuliu, dusuliu, karščiavimu ir silpnumu, atsirandančiu fizinio krūvio metu. Krūtinės ląstos rentgenogramos parodė daugybinius, mažus, apvalios formos mazgus plaučiuose. Po atliktos torakoskopinės plaučių rezekcijos histopatologinio tyrimo būdu konstatuota meningioma. Atliktas galvos smegenų magnetinio rezonanso tyrimas, kurio išvada – kairiajame tilto ir smegenėlių kampe su dangalais susijęs, kontrastinę medžiagą gerai kaupiantis, smulkus navikas, išsiplėtusios giliosios smegenų venos. Histologiškai smegenų darinys, remiantis Pasaulio sveikatos organizacijos klasifikacija, yra I laipsnio fibrozinė meningioma.ApibendrinimasMeningioma yra traktuojama kaip neinvazinis ir nemetastazuojantis, gerybinis, intrakranijinis navikas. Metastaziniai židiniai yra neįprasti šios ligos eigai, dėl to gali būti diagnozuoti pavėluotai. Klinikinis atvejis paneigia literatūroje nurodytus rizikos veiksnius, kuriais remiantis būtų galima numatyti galimą meningiomos metastazavimą, kas leidžia priskirti meningiomą neprognozuojamos eigos navikams.

Resumo: O presente artigo procurou analisar a eleição para a prefeitura de São Paulo em 1953 sob a ótica do jornal O Estado de S. Paulo, periódico de maior tiragem e o mais influente na política paulista dessa época. Devido a uma lei federal, desde os anos 1920 não havia sufrágio para o Executivo paulistano; quando a lei foi revogada em 1952, surgiram duas campanhas que polarizaram a disputa, a do secretário estadual de Saúde, Francisco Cardoso, representando a situação e a do deputado estadual Jânio Quadros, representando a oposição. Apoiando a primeira campanha, o jornal estruturou suas notícias com base nessa perspectiva, e seus desdobramentos foram analisados e refletidos nesse breve espaço.Palavras-chave: História da Imprensa; O Estado de S.

Resumo: Este trabalho busca delinear como Herculano, em História da origem e estabelecimento da Inquisição em Portugal (1854-1859), aborda historiograficamente elementos relativos ao período de formação da cristandade, a era patrística. Leva-se em conta como os elementos em si são tratados e também o contraste entre tal tratamento e aquele conferido pelo autor a eventos temporalmente mais próximos, caso da Inquisição portuguesa. Em um primeiro momento, é esboçado como Herculano situa-se no cenário político, jurídico e religioso de Portugal no século XIX, a fim de que, em seguida, possa-se adentrar em sua produção historiográfica. Como conclusão, verifica-se que o período patrístico, em Herculano, caracteriza-se pela tolerância material do clero, pela autonomia e horizontalidade episcopal, sendo investido de significativo matiz liberal.Palavras-chave: Alexandre Herculano; Patrística; História da Inquisição; Liberalismo. Abstract: This work aims to outline how Herculano, in História da origem e estabelecimento da Inquisição em Portugal (1854-1859), historiographically addresses elements related to the period of formation of Christianity, the Patristic Age. It is taken into account the treatment given to the elements themselves and also the contrast between such treatment and the one conferred to temporally closer events, such as the Portuguese Inquisition. Firstly, we outline how Herculano situates himself in the political, legal and religious scenario of Nineteenth Century Portugal, so that, in a second step, we may enter into Herculano’s historiography. In conclusion, it is observed that the Patristic period, in Herculano, is characterized by material tolerance from the clergy, episcopal autonomy and horizontality, being invested of a significant liberal shade.Keywords: Alexandre Herculano; Patristics; History of the Inquisition; Liberalism.

RJD: A Cost Effective Frackless Solution for Production Enhancement in Marginal Fields
Authors: Kamel Ahmed H 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
With the worldwide trend of low oil prices, high maturity of oil fields, excessive cost of horizontal and fracking technologies, and necessity for green drilling applications, radial jet drilling (RJD) technology can be a cost effective and environmentally-friendly alternative. RJD is an unconventional drilling technique that utilizes coiled tubing conveyed tools and the energy of high velocity fluid jets to drill laterals inside the reservoir.
In recent years, rapid advances in high pressure water jet technology has tremendously increased its application in oil and gas industry not only in drilling operations to improve drilling rate and reduce drilling cost, but also in production to maximize hydrocarbon recovery. In addition, RJD can be used to bypass near wellbore damage, direct reservoir treatments/injections, improve water disposal and re-injection rates, and assist in steam or CO2 treatments.
This paper highlights the theoretical basis, technological advancement, procedures, applications, and challenges of high pressure water jets. Several worldwide case studies are discussed to evaluate the success, results, pros, and cons of RJD.
The results show that nearly an average of four to five fold production increase can be obtained. The present paper clearly shows that radial jet drilling is a viable and attractive alternative in marginal and small reservoirs that still have significant oil in place to capture the benefits of horizontal drilling/fracking and to improve productivity from both new wells and/or workover wells that cannot be produced with the existing expensive conventional completions.
The Green Revolution: Social Change through Social Media
Authors: Tripathi Veena , Bhattacharjee Dhriti 
Published: September 2016

The advent of the internet changed the way we communicate forever. It became such a potent force that it was recommended as a nominee for Time Magazine’s “Man of the Year.” The world became euphoric about how this technology was changing the way we think. The changes were being brought about by people and that they were the change agents. It is required to understand the key concepts behind the emergence of social change through social media and their support in creating sustainability. This paper will report a study of five Indian social campaigns, right from their birth to the phase where they were no longer within the control of their parent organization but became a movement in their own rights. It is an exploratory study aimed at understanding the way social media works and how private organizations can also bring about a public change. The study will cover social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and organizational blogs. The variables will be drawn from the corporate sustainability reports, social media venues, working papers and other research studies. These factors and variables can be correlated to sustainability through which the objective to analyse the impact of social change through social media can be achieved. With sustainability becoming a mandate for big companies in India, this study will help in understanding how social media can play a decisive role in their sustainability policies. Int. J. Soc. Sc.

Published: September 2016

OBJECTIVEThe aim of this paper was to evaluate outcomes in patients with atypical meningiomas (AMs) treated with surgery alone compared with surgery and radiotherapy at initial diagnosis, or at the time of first recurrence.METHODSPatients with pathologically confirmed AMs treated at the University of Utah from 1991 to 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. Local control (LC), overall survival (OS), Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS), and toxicity were assessed. Outcomes for patients receiving adjuvant radiotherapy were compared with those for patients treated with surgery alone. Kaplan-Meier and the log-rank test for significance were used for LC and OS analyses.RESULTSFifty-nine patients with 63 tumors were reviewed. Fifty-two patients were alive at the time of analysis with a median follow-up of 42 months. LC for all tumors was 57% with a median time to local failure (TTLF) of 48 months. The median TTLF following surgery and radiotherapy was 180 months, compared with 46 months following surgery alone (p = 0.02). Excluding Simpson Grade IV (subtotal) resections, there remained an LC benefit with the addition of radiotherapy for Simpson Grade I, II, and III resected tumors (median TTLF 180 months after surgery and radiotherapy compared with 46 months with surgery alone [p = 0.002]). Patients treated at first recurrence following any initial therapy (either surgery alone or surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy) had a median TTLF of 26 months compared with 48 months for tumors treated at first diagnosis (p = 0.007). There were 2 Grade 3 toxicities and 1 Grade 4 toxicity associated with radiotherapy.CONCLUSIONSAdjuvant radiotherapy improves LC for AMs. The addition of adjuvant radiotherapy following even a Simpson Grade I, II, or III resection was found to confer an LC benefit. Recurrent disease is difficult to control, underscoring the importance of aggressive initial treatment.
