Published: January 2015

Purpose We performed curved periacetabular osteotomy, a modification of the Bernese periacetabular osteotomy, to treat hip dysplasia. The purpose of our study was to compare the biomechanical stability of acetabular fragments fixed in place with 3 titanium screws, or with 2 or 3 bioabsorbable screws composed of particulate resorbable uncalcined hydroxyapatite (HA) and poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) termed HA/PLLA screws. Methods Curved periacetabular osteotomy was performed on 24 composite model hemipelves. Three groups of 8 specimens were affixed with 1) 3 titanium screws, 2) 2 HA/PLLA screws, or 3) 3 HA/PLLA screws. After fixation, the hemipelves were biomechanically attested with simulated push-off phase of the gait cycle using a servohydraulic material testing system. Results The average failure loads were not significantly different among the3 groups tested. However, the group repaired with 3 HA/PLLA screws showed significantly greater stiffness than the other groups. Conclusions All 3 fixation methods provided sufficient stability to allow for early partial weight-bearing after surgery. The use of 3 HA/PLLA screws provided significantly greater stiffness for acetabular fragment fixation.

Purpose Stair climbing is one of the important functional activities of daily living to maintain mobility and independence. Walking and stair climbing have been identified by clinicians and patients as critical functional activities before and after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Testing the ability to manage steps has been commonly used in clinical and research settings because it is an inexpensive and simple way to measure functional status after THA. The frequent use of this test supports studies seeking evidence to validate stair test (ST) as a measure of physical performance in subjects with THA. The aim of this study is to determine the test-retest reliability of the 9-step ST in patients with THA. Methods Patients performed twice trials for the ST on the same day with one hour interval. To assess test-retest reliability, the intra-class correlation coefficient – ICC (2,1), standard error of measurement (SEM), minimal detectable change at the 90% confidence level (MDC90) were calculated. Results A total of 37 patients with THA participated in this study. The ST showed very high reliability (ICC = 0.98 (95% CI, 0.96 to 0.99)). The SEM was 0.3 seconds and the MDC90 was 0.7 seconds. Conclusions Test-retest reliability of the ST was very high for the patients with THA, and the SEM and MDC90 were adequate for clinical use. The ST is less time consuming and has very high reliability to measure the functional level after THA in the clinical setting.

Published: January 2015

Introduction Piriformis syndrome involves the irritation of the piriformis muscle due to various reasons that are primarily related to anatomical variation or sciatic nerve compression due to contraction caused by overuse. In this study, we aimed to define an injection method that is easy to apply, safe, simple and repeatable. Materials and Methods We administered percutaneous lidocaine and depomedrol injections into the hips of 28 patients (14 men and 14 women) under fluoroscopic control. Bipolar injections of the piriformis muscle were performed at the medial pole, the intersection of the sciatic notch and the sacroiliac joint, and at the lateral pole of the femoral insertion region. Each injection was 5 cc, and the contrast agent was observed after the dyeing process. Results Clinical examinations were performed before and 6 weeks after the injections. The average of Harris Hip Score increased from a pre-injection score of 44.5 to a post-injection score of 68.5, and the Visual Analog Scale scores decreased from 8.3 to 4.2 (p<0.05). Comments Our findings lead to the conclusion that fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous local anaesthetic and corticosteroid injection is a simple and effective piriformis syndrome treatment that can feasibly be effectively performed by orthopaedic surgeons.
"Illness Is Nothing But Injustice": The Revolutionary Element in Bengali Folk Healing
Authors: Ferrari Fabrizio M. 
Published: January 2015

AbstractThis article seeks to reflect on how concepts such as "ritual," "illness," and "health" are intertwined in the practice of Bengali healers and their customers. By objecting to past and present logics that ascribe to folk healing an innate subalternity because of context (e.g., the village), mode of transmission (e.g., orality), gender and social background of votaries (e.g., low-caste, working-class sectors), my analysis discusses health-seeking rituals as an arena for revolutionary negotiations. This character is determined by the willingness of healers, health-seekers, and other-than-human entities (deities, spirits, demons, ghosts, etc.) to counter relative injustice, negotiate power, and actualize redemption by means of a radical, though often temporary, subversion of or challenge to an established order. This reading, which I derive from Ernesto de Martino’s "progressive folklore," wishes to contribute to discourses on religious folklore as a way of expressing, and perpetuating acceptable solutions to individual and social imbalance, including the perception of illness as uneven development. Folk healing is one of the liveliest forms of people’s knowledge; the actualization of ancestral needs; and one of the most easily available and culturally understandable form of creativity, reflexivity, and education. While critically addressing the limits of using de Martino’s theories in the frame of post-colonial ethnography, I go back to his definition of culture as the result of the "victorious struggle of health over the pitfalls of disease" ([1958] 2000:25) and discuss illness and its treatment among Bengali healers and their clients as ways to experience what de Martino called the expansion of self-consciousness.
If the Mother of God Does Not Listen: Women’s Contested Agency and the Lived Meaning of the Orthodox Religion in North Karelia
Authors: Honkasalo Marja-Liisa 
Published: January 2015

AbstractFinnish Orthodox women’s ambiguous situation of interfaith marriages in Lutheran, secular Finland is marked by a peculiar triple sense of otherness, causing elements of deep crisis among many. Employing Ernesto de Martino’s concept of "dehistoricizing," the author claims that domestic religious rituals restore women’s agency and give them metahistorical solace. The ritual presence of the Mother of God binds together separate elements of domestic life and a mythical common past that creates and recreates mothers’ agency within the interfaith dilemma.
Targeting platelet receptors in thrombotic and thrombo-inflammatory disorders
Authors: Vögtle T. , Cherpokova D. , Bender M. , Nieswandt B. 
Published: January 2015

SummaryPlatelet activation at sites of vascular injury is critical for the formation of a hemostatic plug which limits excessive blood loss, but also represents a major pathomechanism of ischemic cardio- and cerebrovascular diseases. Although currently available antiplatelet therapies have proved beneficial in preventing the recurrence of vascular events, their adverse effects on primary hemostasis emphasize the necessity to identify and characterize novel pharmacological targets for platelet inhibition. Increasing experimental evidence has suggested that several major platelet surface receptors which regulate initial steps of platelet adhesion and activation may become promising new targets for anti-platelet drugs due to their involvement in thrombotic and thrombo-inflammatory signaling cascades.This review summarizes recent developments in understanding the function of glycoprotein (GP)Ib, GPVI and the C-type lectin-like receptor 2 (CLEC-2) in hemostasis, arterial thrombosis and thrombo-inflammation and will discuss the suitability of the receptors as novel targets to treat these diseases in humans.

Bijzondere onderzoeksmethoden nader bekeken: conjunctanalyse (vignettenmethode)
Om inzicht in te krijgen in de wijze waarop werkgevers kiezen tussen kandidaten voor het vervullen van vacatures, hebben we dit keuzeproces gesimuleerd, gebruikmakend van conjunctanalyse (ook bekend als de vignettenmethode). We hebben voor deze methode gekozen omdat hiermee het proces, dat werkgevers in de praktijk doorlopen bij dergelijke keuzes, dicht wordt benaderd. Verder is bij het gebruik van deze methode het risico van sociaal wenselijk antwoordgedrag kleiner dan bij directe bevraging van respondenten. Voor beleidsmakers is het belangrijk om te weten of het keuzeproces van werkgevers kan worden beïnvloed door de inzet van re-integratie-instrumenten zoals loonkostensubsidie. Op basis van de uitkomsten van de conjunctanalyse is het mogelijk voor een willekeurige kandidaat te schatten hoe aantrekkelijk hij of zij in het algemeen door werkgevers wordt gevonden, zowel zonder als met de inzet van instrumenten zoals loonkostensubsidie.
Onderzoek door lokale rekenkamers: maatschappelijke effecten versus beleidstechniek

Onderzoek door lokale rekenkamers: maatschappelijke effecten versus beleidstechniek
De opname van de rekenkamerfunctie in de Gemeentewet (medio jaren nul) betekende een belangrijke uitbreiding van de lokale en regionale onderzoeksinfrastructuur, bood perspectieven op versterking van de rol van de gemeenteraad respectievelijk Provinciale Staten, en bood perspectieven op meer evidence-based beleid. De missie van rekenkamers zou zijn om onderzoek te doen naar doeltreffendheid en doelmatigheid van beleid. Wat nu blijkt, is dat rekenkamers onderzoek doen naar de beleidstechniek op basis van de beleidscyclus, en niet naar doeltreffendheid en doelmatigheid van beleid. Onderzoek naar beleidstechniek is een enkele keer nuttig, maar zeker niet als voornaamste (of: enige) thema van rekenkameronderzoek. Een radicale koerswijziging wordt bepleit: één waarin de maatschappelijke effecten van beleid centraal staan.

AbstractIn our article “A Reexamination of Red Linear Style in the Lower Pecos Canyonlands of Texas,” we presented the results of an analysis of 444 Red Linear style pictographs from 12 sites in the region. Using this greatly expanded data set, we produced a list of diagnostic attributes for the style and documented stratigraphie relationships among pictographs through macro- and microscopic field analysis. We identified 38 examples of Red Linear under Pecos River style, a style previously assumed to be older than Red Linear. No Red Linear figures were identified superimposing Pecos River style. These results were verified by an independent group of archaeologists and chemists engaged in the analysis of Lower Pecos rock art. We concluded that Red Linear style is either older than or contemporaneous with Pecos River style. In Harrison’s comments, he argues that our methods were faulty and the data inadequate to support our conclusions. We address a few of Harrison’s critiques in our response; however, a more careful reading of the original article and supplemental materials is advised.
Geographic Information System Modeling of De Soto’s Route from Joara to Chiaha: Archaeology and Anthropology of Southeastern Road Networks in the Sixteenth Century
Authors: Sampeck Kathryn , Thayn Jonathan , Earnest Howard H. 
Published: January 2015

AbstractThis research revisits the question of the most likely paths traveled during the 1540 entrada of Hernando de Soto and colonizing efforts of Juan Pardo about 20 years later by utilizing the spatial modeling method of geographic information system (GIS) analysis to evaluate the favorability of different paths and place them within the context of recent archaeological and ethnohistoric research. Analysis results make the larger anthropological point that GIS route modeling should explicitly take into account the size of the party traveling. Routes for small parties are not the same as optimal routes for large armies such as de Soto’s, which included hundreds of people, pieces of equipment, and livestock. The GIS-modeled routes correlate with the distribution of contact-period archaeological sites and attested eighteenth-century routes. More accurate estimation of Spanish routes allows us to better model the Native American social, economic, and political nexus of this period, showing that the residents in far eastern Tennessee were probably part of a dynamic borderlands between the chiefdom of Coosa to the west and the ancestral Cherokee heartland to the east. This anthropological refinement in GIS modeling will be useful in investigating ancient paths of interaction in many parts of the world.
Le terrorisme est une violence politique comme les autres
Authors: Clément Pierre-Alain 
Published: January 2015

L’objectif de cet article est de contribuer à la réflexion sur la typologie des violences politiques et du terrorisme. Une voie délaissée par le champ, y compris par la recherche théorique. Le but est de marginaliser les dilemmes clivants et fréquents du champ, notamment sur la définition et la causalité du terrorisme. La typologie des violences politiques proposée est déductive. Elle évite deux faiblesses des typologies actuelles : dépendance à une définition du terrorisme et absence de lien entre violences étatiques et subétatiques. Trois critères définissent l’acte violent : mandat, intention et ciblage. La variable temps est intégrée pour une analyse dynamique des organisations violentes.
L’« ingérence démocratique » en Afrique comme institution, dispositif et scène
Authors: Keutcheu Joseph 
Published: January 2015

La présente étude décrit l’ingérence comme étant ritualisée dans un contexte de montée en puissance de la démocratie en tant que sujet de préoccupation internationale. La formation d’un référentiel international de la gestion démocratique de l’État en Afrique s’impose ainsi aussi bien aux « entrepreneurs d’intervention » qu’aux « importateurs » de modèles institutionnels dans ce continent. La mise en oeuvre d’instruments internationaux d’action publique de promotion de la démocratie ouvre la possibilité de voir des logiques réalistes à l’oeuvre dans les différentes formes d’intervention. Elle permet également d’envisager l’interventionnisme et la réception de « modèles institutionnels » en Afrique comme des « rites d’interaction » au sens où Goffman l’entend.
L’infléchissement parabolique dans Le chant du Dire-Dire de Daniel
Danis
Authors: Brousseau Rivet Geneviève , David Gilbert 
Published: January 2015

Le présent article déplie les différentes strates du récit dramatique où
s’entremêlent récit de vie et témoignages des trois frères Durant au fil d’une étourdissante
suite de péripéties, ce qui conduit à en dégager une double vision parabolique qui scelle
finalement le statut métadramatique de l’oeuvre, ouverte dès lors à une interprétation sans
fin. Outre à cette dimension autotélique, il faut certainement accorder de l’intérêt à la
posture paratopique de l’auteur, qui prend ses distances à l’égard de la naturalisation du
verbe dans le champ théâtral québécois, tout en y allant de ses propres images verbales et
de ses néologismes qui relèvent d’un procédé d’« étrangéisation ».
La validation du récit par la poétique de la parole dans le théâtre de Daniel Danis
Authors: Ryngaert Jean-Pierre 
Published: January 2015

Dans cet article, l’auteur cherche à cerner en quoi l’accumulation d’épisodes, souvent violents, dans le théâtre de Danis se trouve à prendre le contrepied des usages dominants des « raconteurs d’histoires » dans l’espace public contemporain. Raconter ne suffit pas, encore faut-il savoir jouer des modalités énonciatives que l’acte de parler libère chez le locuteur danisien. Cette poétique de la parole est certes marquée par le Gestus de la comparution, du témoignage d’après les faits — temporalité dans l’après-coup et responsabilité de dire le vrai —, mais aussi par la vivacité émotionnelle de la mise en confidence et du commentaire, à même un dispositif apte à faire du spectateur un partenaire du choeur des parleurs. Là est l’originalité de cette choralité à la fois intime et publique, objectivante et parfaitement subjective.
Un désir de refondation
Authors: Jubinville Yves 
Published: January 2015

L’auteur réfléchit ici aux tenants et aboutissants du « vivre-ensemble » dans
plusieurs oeuvres de Danis. L’analyse fait travailler des notions empruntées à la sociologie
et à l’anthropologie afin de tester quelques hypothèses touchant la référence aux origines
ensauvagées du monde danisien — sans pour autant y voir un passé érigé en mythe fondateur —,
mais renvoyant aussi aux tensions qui affectent ses membres volontiers en rupture de ban
dans leurs rapports avec les représentants de l’autorité et de la bien-pensance. Ce faisant,
le théâtre de Danis exposerait des mondes livrés à la logique de dissolution du « commun »,
mais en même temps animés par des mouvements de résistance et, en dernière instance, à la
recherche d’une communauté réinventée en mesure de se dresser face à la société administrée.
C’est de là, peut-on penser, qu’émane la volonté affichée dans cette dramaturgie de
privilégier les figures marginales et métissées dans la reconquête, jamais acquise mais
toujours espérée, d’une liberté pour tous — visée utopique qui se nourrit de questionnements
multiples sur la modernisation rapide de la société canadienne-française, en exhumant les
traces de ce que ses agents ont pu refouler.
Oiseaux migrateurs
Authors: Selao Ching 
Published: January 2015

Kim Thúy et Linda Lê sont toutes deux d’origine vietnamienne, l’une est québécoise et l’autre française. Si les deux auteures ont en commun d’avoir vécu l’expérience singulière des boat people, la représentation de l’exil dans les écrits de chacune diffère considérablement. Dans Ru, Kim Thúy présente l’immigration comme une renaissance, comme la réalisation du « rêve américain », alors que l’exil est dans l’oeuvre de Linda Lê l’expression d’une perte irréparable. Cet article propose d’explorer les différents points de vue sur l’expérience exilique et l’intégration tels qu’on les retrouve dans le premier livre de Kim Thúy, qui semble avoir un parti pris pour le bonheur, et dans quelques textes de Linda Lê, qualifiée de « professeur de désespoir » par Nancy Huston et d’« écrivain méchant » par Simon Harel. Il s’agira en somme de voir comment le récit de l’une rassure, tandis que l’écriture de l’autre déroute par son intransigeance et son refus du conformisme.
Intraplate volcanism due to convective instability of stagnant slabs in the mantle transition zone
Authors: Motoki Matthew H. , Ballmer Maxim D. 
Published: January 2015

AbstractThe study of volcanism can further our understanding of Earth's mantle processes and composition. Continental intraplate volcanism commonly occurs above subducted slabs that stagnate in the Mantle Transition Zone (MTZ), such as in Europe, eastern China, and western North America. Here, we use two‐dimensional numerical models to explore the evolution of stagnant slabs in the MTZ and their potential to sustain mantle upwellings that can support volcanism. We find that weak slabs may go convectively unstable within tens of million years. Upwellings rise out of the relatively warm underbelly of the slab, are entrained by ambient‐mantle flow and reach the base of the lithosphere. The first and most vigorous upwellings rise adjacent to lateral heterogeneity within the slab. Ultimately, convective instability also acts to separate the compositional components of the slab, harzburgite, and eclogite, from each other with harzburgite rising into the upper mantle and eclogite sinking into the lower mantle. Such a physical filtering process may sustain a long‐term compositional gradient across the MTZ.
A brittle failure model for long‐period seismic events recorded at Turrialba Volcano, Costa Rica

Published: January 2015

AbstractA temporary seismic network, consisting of 23 broadband and six short‐period stations, was installed in a dense network at Turrialba Volcano, Costa Rica, between 8 March and 4 May 2011. During this time 513 long‐period (LP) events were observed. Due to their pulse‐like waveforms, the hypothesis that the events are generated by a slow‐failure mechanism, based on a recent new model by Bean et al. (2014), is tested. A significant number (107) of the LPs are jointly inverted for their source locations and mechanisms, using full‐waveform moment tensor inversion. The locations are mostly shallow, with depths < 800 m below the active Southwest Crater. The results of the decompositions of the obtained moment tensor solutions show complex source mechanisms, composed of high proportions of isotropic and low, but seemingly significant, proportions of compensated linear vector dipole and double‐couple components. It is demonstrated that this can be explained as mode I tensile fracturing with a strong shear component. The source mechanism is further investigated by exploring scaling laws within the data. The LPs recorded follow relationships very similar to those of conventional earthquakes, exhibiting frequency‐magnitude and corner frequency versus magnitude relationships that can be explained by brittle failure. All of these observations indicate that a slow‐failure source model can successfully describe the generation of short‐duration LP events at Turrialba Volcano.
