Authors: Barksfield RC , Coomber R , Woolf K , Prinja A , Wordsworth D , Lopez D , Burtt S 
Published: December 2014

Introduction The Royal College of Surgeons of England (RCS) has issued guidance regarding the use of reoperation rates in the revalidation of UK-based orthopaedic surgeons. Currently, little has been published concerning acceptable rates of reoperation following primary surgical management of orthopaedic trauma, particularly with reference to revalidation. Methods A retrospective review was conducted of patients undergoing clearly defined reoperations following primary surgical management of trauma between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2011. A full case note review was undertaken to establish the demographics, clinical course and context of reoperation. A review of the imaging was performed to establish whether the procedure performed was in line with accepted trauma practice and whether the technical execution was acceptable. Results A total of 3,688 patients underwent primary procedures within the time period studied while 70 (1.90%, 99% CI: 1.39–2.55) required an unplanned reoperation. Thirty-nine (56%) of these patients were male. The mean age of patients was 56 years (range: 18–98 years) and there was a median time to reoperation of 50 days (IQR: 13–154 days). Potentially avoidable reoperations occurred in 41 patients (58.6%, 99% CI: 43.2–72.6). This was largely due to technical errors (40 patients, 57.1%, 99% CI: 41.8–71.3), representing 1.11% (99% CI: 0.73–1.64) of the total trauma workload. Within RCS guidelines, 28-day reoperation rates for hip, wrist and ankle fractures were 1.4% (99% CI: 0.5–3.3), 3.5% (99% CI: 0.8%–12.1) and 1.86% (99% CI: 0.4–6.6) respectively. Conclusions We present novel work that has established baseline reoperation rates for index procedures required for revalidation of orthopaedic surgeons.
A review of cervical spine injury associated with maxillofacial trauma at a UK tertiary referral centre
Authors: Mukherjee S , Abhinav K , Revington PJ 
Published: December 2014

Introduction The aim of this study was to determine the incidence and patterns of cervical spine injury (CSI) associated with maxillofacial fractures at a UK trauma centre. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted of 714 maxillofacial fracture patients presenting to a single trauma centre between 2006 and 2012. Results Of the 714 maxillofacial fracture patients, 2.2% had associated CSI including a fracture, cord contusion or disc herniation. In comparison, 1.0% of patients without maxillofacial trauma sustained a CSI (odds ratio: 2.2, p=0.01). The majority (88%) of CSI cases of were caused by a road traffic accident (RTA) with the remainder due to falls. While 8.8% of RTA related maxillofacial trauma patients sustained a CSI, only 2.0% of fall related patients did (p=0.03, not significant). Most (70%) of the CSIs occurred at C1/C2 or C6/C7 levels. Overall, 455, 220 and 39 patients suffered non-mandibular, isolated mandibular and mixed mandibular/non-mandibular fractures respectively. Their respective incidences of CSI were 1.5%, 1.8% and 12.8% (p=0.005, significant). Twelve patients with concomitant CSI had their maxillofacial fractures treated within twenty-four hours and all were treated within four days. Conclusions The presence of maxillofacial trauma mandates exclusion and prompt management of cervical spine injury, particularly in RTA and trauma cases involving combined facial fracture patterns. This approach will facilitate management of maxillofacial fractures within an optimum time period.
Instrumental gesture as choreographic practice: Performative approaches to understanding corporeal expressivity in music
Authors: Newland Imogene 
Published: December 2014

Abstract
Existing qualitative approaches within the field of music perception and embodied music cognition provide scientific models for the evaluation of physical gestures and their expressive impact in performance. This article examines the ways in which qualitative research methodologies and outcomes may be used as stimuli for new choreographic research, drawing upon the original performance ‘Woman=Music=Desire’. Beginning with an illustrated account of expressive features of piano performance by music researchers such as François Delalande and Mark Thompson, recent departures in choreographic and related artistic practice that indicate a growing interest in the expressive function of musical corporeity are discussed. Through exploring such work, the intersubjective and kinesthetic relationship occurring between musician and spectator is explored via an examination of gestural empathy. Thus, through re-appropriating instrumental gestures within practice-led research that interrogates the close relationship between corporeity and expressivity, the musician’s body emerges as a dancing body with the creative potential for a new and exciting departure in choreographic practice. A trailer to the performance ‘Woman=Music=Desire’ may be found at http://www.imogene-newland.co.uk/perf_women_md.php.
Beyond #Talking and #Texting: African Immigrant Youth’s Social–Civic Literacies and Negotiations of Citizenship Across Participatory New Media Technologies
Authors: Watson Vaughn W. M. , Knight Michelle G. , Jaffee Ashley Taylor 
Published: December 2014

Abstract
Researchers increasingly call for examination of the potential of participatory new media technologies to reframe practices of citizenship teaching and learning and civic action. We draw upon a qualitative, interpretive case study of nineteen second- and 1.5-generation African immigrant youths to examine multiple, shifting conceptualizations of citizenship and negotiations of civic identities across diverse local/global, on/offline participatory new media technologies. We point to ‘social–civic’ literacies as emerging and complicating spaces of political literacy, civic identity constructions, and formal/informal citizenship teaching and learning opportunities. We draw implications for productive debate across shifting notions of citizenship, democratic education and participatory new media technologies in English and Social Studies classrooms.
Deleuze and becoming-citizen: Exploring newcomer films in a Franco-Canadian secondary school
Authors: Bangou Francis , Fleming Douglas 
Published: December 2014

Abstract
Citizenship and citizenship education have been traditionally bounded to either a geographically bound nation-state or a historically shared culture. In this article we argue that it is no longer enough to explore the complexity of what we term becoming-citizen in today’s information-based society where multiple national and cultural connections and affiliations are a mouse click away. We make the case for the importance of understanding how developing literacies affect how citizenship is transformed in pedagogical settings, particularly in terms of how Information and Communication technologies (ICT), the curriculum and teaching intersect and affect each other as complex systems. To do this, we use Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of agencement and Multiple Literacies Theory (MLT) to map how citizenship emerges in a group of young newcomer students’ texts (broadly defined) as filmed with pocket size digital video cameras. The research reported here comprises part of a three-year research project on the interrelationships between citizenship, technology and pop culture in a French secondary inner-city Ottawa schools. We begin with an outline of the concepts of agencement and MLT. We then briefly summarize the current literature on citizenship education before proceeding to an account of how our research has been guided by rhizoanalysis. We then proceed to three vignettes associated with the curriculum used in the particular school under study and two video clips shot by two newcomer students. We conclude with a discussion of the implications of our study in terms of theory and practice.
Crossing boundaries: An exploration of how three Social Studies teachers understand and teach patriotism in Singapore
Authors: Chua Shuyi , Sim Jasmine B.-Y. 
Published: December 2014

Abstract
In 1965 Singapore became independent after a two-year merger with Malaysia and over 100 years of British colonization. Since then, the government has been inculcating patriotism in its citizens through educational policies such as the introduction of Social Studies at secondary school. This process of education for patriotism is interesting in the case of Singapore in two respects: how teachers understand the link between patriotism and loyalty to the government; and whether teachers dare to cross boundaries to engage students in discussions that may challenge pro-government views. This study explores the perceptions and practices of three Social Studies teachers to address two issues. First, how do Social Studies teachers understand ‘patriotism’? Second, how do they teach it within or beyond boundaries? The findings show that teachers did not think that patriotism meant loyalty to the government; instead it meant loyalty to one another as Singapore citizens. Though the translation of teachers’ understandings of patriotism into the classroom differed from teacher to teacher, in terms of helping students think critically, there were elements of crossing the boundaries set by the ruling party.
Trauma Treatment in Young Children with Developmental Disabilities: Applications of the Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) Model to the Cases of "James" and "Juan"

Published: December 2014

This case study series investigates the application of the Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) model for young children with developmental disabilities who were exposed to trauma. Two Latino clients and their families were selected for systematic write-up: "James," 14 months old who, following medical trauma (surgery and stroke) showed global developmental delays; and "Juan," 6 years 2 months old with autism in the context of early exposure to domestic violence and a history of physical and emotional abuse. Utilizing the CPP model, we addressed the families’ histories of traumatic events, including domestic violence, medical trauma, and attachment concerns associated with parental adjustment to diagnosis. The CPP model was selected with the goal of strengthening the relationship between each child and his caregivers; restoring the child’s sense of safety, attachment, and appropriate affect; and improving the child’s behavioral and social functioning. Clinical insights regarding the application of the CPP model for young children with developmental disabilities who were exposed to trauma are offered. In addition, cultural applications for Latino families are explored.

Published: December 2014

Abstract
We investigate a class of quasi-linear nonlocal problems, including
as a particular case semi-linear problems involving the fractional Laplacian
and arising in the framework of continuum mechanics, phase transition phenomena,
population dynamics and game theory.
Under different growth assumptions on the reaction term, we obtain
various existence as well as finite multiplicity results by means of variational and topological
methods and, in particular, arguments from Morse theory.
Nonlinear tensile creep behavior of radiata pine at elevated temperatures and different moisture contents
Authors: Pearson Hamish , Ormarsson Sigurdur , Gabbitas Brian 
Published: December 2014

Abstract
Tensile wood creep has not been measured previously in the temperature region 135°C–150°C for a range of moisture content (MC) up to fiber saturation point due to equipment and measurement challenges. Yet this is the region where the most dramatic softening effects can be observed. The aim of this study was to develop specialized equipment to measure tensile solid wood creep over 70°C–150°C for a range of MC and loads. Creep displacement was successfully able to be isolated from elastic and mechanosorptive strains and statistically modeled by regression analysis. This proved more accurate than complex series expansions consisting of spring- and dashpot-type components. The best creep displacement relationship was a power law with a strain root mean square error of 0.28%. The amplitude of the power law was nonlinear with respect to stress and temperature and changed by a stress factor of up to 0.9 for a stress of up to 1.2 MPa and by a temperature factor 1.2–6.3 over the investigated range. The creep relationship provides a valuable tool for predicting time-dependent distortion and internal stress of wood during drying or thermohygromechanical modification below 150°C.
An efficient timing device to record activity patterns of small mammals in the field
Authors: Ferreira Mariana Silva , Vieira Marcus Vinícius 
Published: December 2014

AbstractWe propose a simple, accurate, and inexpensive timing device to record the activity patterns of small mammals in the field using live traps. The present timing device can be used in cage-type live traps. It is built from commercially available components and does not require special skills to construct. The device is set outside the trap and does not need to be permanently affixed or require drill perforations, as others devices do. This device is easily incorporated into long-term monitoring studies to provide temporal information about small mammal populations without affecting their behavior.

Benjamin y Wittgenstein. Una aproximación morfológica
Authors: Delgado Rojo Jose Luis 
Published: December 2014

El presente trabajo explora la posible afinidad de método entre las obras de Walter Benjamin y Ludwig Wittgenstein. El intento por parte de Benjamin de desarrollar un nuevo método de representación histórica gravita en torno a la categoría de “origen”, la cual sostiene sus más importantes trabajos de investigación histórica. En paralelo al trabajo de Benjamin, Wittgenstein dedicó una especial atención al problema de una exposición filosófica de los fenómenos, en especial en sus investigaciones sobre el lenguaje, a través de categorías como la “representación perspicua” o la “visión de aspectos”. La filiación común de la reflexión de ambos autores en la morfología de Goethe nos permitirá definir el perfil de un posible enfoque estético para la investigación filosófica, dirigida a captar la generalidad de los fenómenos sin renunciar a salvaguardar su singularidad única.DOI http://dx.doi.org/10.15304/ag.34.1.1664
De las máquinas totalitarias al "Capitalismo emocional". Consideraciones en torno a la "impostura de la desinhibición"
Authors: García Ferrer Borja 
Published: December 2014

Frente a la reverberación del mito de la autonomía personal en el acervo posmoderno, exploramos las nuevas tecnologías del poder para someternos a una subjetivización coactiva y heterodirigida, toda vez que nuestro sistema de los afectos se revela, a tenor de la evolución experimentada por el sistema capitalista, infinitamente más decisivo que cualquier armadura ideológica al respecto. En un horizonte marcado por la innovación y la seducción, la dictadura invisible del Capital pivota cada vez más sobre la producción y deshinibición del deseo, al abrigo de técnicas cuyas prerrogativas no se limitan a producir sistemáticamente instrumentos de trabajo y bienes de consumo, sino que también nos manipulan y determinan.DOI http://dx.doi.org/10.15304/ag.34.1.1973
Estudio de la epéntesis en el aprendizaje de cabezas silábicas complejas en inglés por hablantes de español: aproximación al marco de la Teoría de la Optimidad
Authors: San Segundo Fernández Eugenia 
Published: December 2014

En este trabajo hemos intentado mostrar cómo un modelo optimalista puede aplicarse a un estudio de la variación en la interlengua de hispanohablantes que están aprendiendo inglés. En concreto, nos hemos centrado en el fenómeno de epéntesis vocálica en inicio de sílaba ante secuencia s + consonante. Se ha aplicado el algoritmo del aprendizaje gradual de Boersma y Hayes (2001), siguiendo el modelo de variación de tres gramáticas de Cutillas (2004). En el análisis de los resultados, observamos que, para nuestras dos informantes, las restricciones de sus respectivas gramáticas presentan bandas de rigurosidad que se solapan, y se proponen algunas explicaciones para este hecho.DOI http://dx.doi.org/10.15304/verba.41.1045

El foco informativo y la posición sintáctica de los depictivos orientados al sujeto en español
Authors: Heidinger Steffen 
Published: December 2014

En este artículo analizamos la posición sintáctica de los depictivos orientados al sujeto (DOS) - como cansado en Juan llegó cansado al partido - con respecto a otros constituyentes posverbales como el objeto directo (Od) y los adjuntos locativos (LOC). La base empírica de nuestro estudio resulta de un experimento de producción en el que consideramos de manera sistemática el factor del foco informativo (36 participantes, realizado en Córdoba/España, febrero 2012). Los principales resultados acerca de la relación entre el foco informativo y la posición sintáctica del DOS frente a Od y LOC son: 1) La posición no marcada de los DOS depende de la función sintáctica del segundo constituyente: en el contexto de un Od, el orden no marcado es …-Od-DOS, mientras que en el contexto de un LOC es …-DOS-LOC. 2) Los tres constituyentes - DOS, LOC y Od - aparecen en la mayoría de las ocasiones en posición final cuando son el foco estrecho de la oración. 3) Muchos autores sostienen que en español el foco informativo debe estar en posición final de la oración. Según nuestros datos, la posición final es la posición preferida para el foco informativo, pero la focalización estrecha no implica la posición final del constituyente respectivo. 4) La posición del DOS depende decisivamente de la estructura informativa de la oración correspondiente; por eso, la estructura informativa debe incluirse en la determinación de la posición sintáctica y en la descripción de los órdenes.DOI http://dx.doi.org/10.15304/verba.41.1501
La elección del caso pronominal en dos corpus orales puertorriqueños
Authors: Aleza Izquierdo Milagros 
Published: December 2014

Esta investigación tiene por objeto un estudio contrastivo del uso de los pronombres átonos (clíticos) en dos corpus orales de Puerto Rico que corresponden a dos generaciones distintas. Ya que este país es uno de los distinguidores de caso, resulta especialmente interesante conocer con qué verbos y en qué estructuras se documentan ambos casos o se ve favorecido el dativo en lugar del acusativo, con el fin de comprobar si existen factores específicos que condicionan la elección del pronombre. Para ello, abordamos el uso de los clíticos de tercera persona en verbos o construcciones transitivas y de caso reinterpretado.DOI http://dx.doi.org/10.15304/verba.41.1667

Phenomenological model for determining velocity field of LPG jet in combustion chamber of direct injection S.I. engine
Authors: Ga Bui Van , Tho Phung Xuan , Quang Nhan Hong , Huong Nguyen Huu 
Published: December 2014

A phenomenological model has been established to predict the velocity distribution of LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) jet in combustion chamber of spark ignition (SI) engine. A shaped coefficient \(\beta\) governing the similarity of velocity profiles of LPG jets has been defined based on the theoretical and experimental analyses of turbulent diffusion jets. The results show that \(\beta\) is constant for steady jet but it is not the case for unsteady one. The model will enable us to calculate the velocity profiles of LPG jet after ending injection. This is necessary for research of stratified combustion in direct injection LPG SI engines.
On the high resolution regional weather forecast model (HRM) and forecasting tropical cyclone motion over the south china sea
Authors: Duc Le , Thang Le Cong , Xin Kieu Thi 
Published: December 2014

Chan (1995) [2] has found that, only 70% in 60 cases of the tropical cyclone (TC) movement test (TMT-90) developed from steering flows. The 30% remain of cases have to be explained by nonbarotropic processes. We are of the opinion that all weak, slow-moving and unexpected changing TCs over the South China Sea are in this 30% set. The nonlinear interaction between barotropic and nonbarotropic processes has affected on motion and structure of such TCs. In this paper, we use the high resolution weather forecast model (HRM), which is able to simulate meso-scale phenomena in limited regions, to predict motion of TCs in the South China Sea in 2002-2004, including two typical weak, slow-moving and unexpected changing TCs Mekhala and Nepartak. We have chosen two forecast domains with different areas and resolutions. The results show that with the smaller domain, appropriate buffer and higher resolution HRM can predict better motion of TCs operating in the South China Sea.
