Authors: Bilolikar Vivek , Rengifo Santiago , Desai Kaushal , Hozack Bryan 
Published: December 2023

Objectives Through this review, we sought to accomplish two goals: 1) analyze and synthesize the published case reports on upper extremity necrotizing fasciitis and 2) identify any trends in the diagnosis and treatment of upper extremity necrotizing fasciitis. Methods Studies included in this systematic review were conducted per PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines with the following eligibility criteria: (1) single case or limited case series, (2) established diagnosis of necrotizing fasciitis in the hand, wrist, or forearm, (3) English language publication. Results Most of the patients in this review (38, (70.37%)) presented with an inciting injury. A minority of patients had other associated co-morbidities independent of injury, including Diabetes Mellitus, immunosuppression, and IV drug use. The most common infectious agents were gram-positive cocci, identified in 32 (59.26%) cases, followed by gram-negative bacilli in 21 (38.89%) cases. The most common pathogen was Group A streptococcus (GAS), reported in 15 (27.78%) cases, followed by Vibrio vulnificus in 6 (11.11%) cases. Most patients were managed with empiric antibiotic treatment. Fifty patients (92.6%) reported surgical intervention and 45 (83.3%) had at least one debridement. Most patients in the cases reviewed had either no or minimal long-term sequelae following their infection. Conclusion Early recognition of the signs and symptoms of necrotizing fasciitis is imperative to avoid loss of limb and/or death. Further, aggressive management with empiric antibiotic coverage and rapid surgical intervention improves outcomes in patients with necrotizing fasciitis of the upper extremity.

Objectives The incidence of femoral periprosthetic fractures (PPF) is rising. Vancouver type C PPFs compromise the majority type of fracture associated with high complication rates. The complexity of Vancouver C-type PPFs lies in the presence of the femoral stem in the proximal fracture fragment. This study compares the biomechanical performance of four plate fixation configurations to repair Vancouver type C periprosthetic femur fractures. Methods Six large adult 4th generation biomechanical low-density femur Sawbones instrumented with cemented femoral stems were used to conduct this study. A comminuted Vancouver-type C PPF was simulated and fixed with a plate. Four proximal fragment construct configurations were studied with combinations of unicortical screws, bicortical screws, and cerclage cable fixation. Constructs were loaded in axial compression and four-point bending, and the stiffness was calculated. Results Constructs with bicortical screw fixation had significantly greater stiffness than those with unicortical screw and cerclage cable fixation in axial and four-point bending loads. Constructs with cerclage cable and unicortical screw fixation had greater stiffness than ones with unicortical screw fixation. Conclusion Using bicortical screws in the proximal construct of Vancouver type C PPFs increases construct stiffness in axial and bending loads. Though controversial, using cerclage cables might have a place for construct augmentation when using only unicortical screws or a combination of unicortical and bicortical screws.

Objectives This study aimed to present the short-term outcomes of tibiotalar joint arthrodesis using the Shotel ankle arthrodesis nail system. Methods 10 patients underwent ankle arthrodesis using the new nail system between 2021 and 2022 due to advanced arthritis. Patients were followed up for a mean of nine months. Outcomes were assessed using metrics such as radiographic union, pain, and patient-reported outcomes questionnaires. We explained a stepwise description of a novel technique for isolated tibiotalar ankle arthrodesis using a curved nail. We also presented our postoperative protocol, including weight-bearing and rehabilitation protocol. Results The union rate was 100% after a mean time of nine months of follow-up. There were no complications related to the hardware requiring revision or removal. Pain was measured with a visual analog scale and improved from a mean of 6.7 to 4.2. Conclusion Patients undergoing tibiotalar arthrodesis using the Shotel nail have acceptable outcomes. Considering this technique as a minimally invasive intervention, we believe that soft tissue complications are less than conventional open techniques.
1918-2018. La literature nationale comme projet unificateur
Authors:   UNIVERSITATEA DIN BUCUREȘTI, CERNAT PAUL 
Published: December 2023

"1918-2018. National Literature as a Unifying Project ●	Abstract (original): This paper offers a new approach on the topic of the identity of Romanian Literature as National Literature. I will discuss the case of the referential History of the Romanian Literature from its Origins until Present Day (1941) written by the most important Romanian literary critic and historian G Călinescu. This holistic historical narrative sends to a particular strategy of legitimizing the national literature as a history of literary values. I will argue that his focus on Romanian language as a trademark of Romanian literary identity proves insufficient as there are too many examples which invalidate Călinescu’s theory. I will propose in exchange an alternative, rather relative, but dynamic and integrative perspective: national literature as a concept with a variable geometry. That means, among others, the outcome of a historical metamorphosis, with its multiple borders and changing statutes, also with its modern and pre-modern avatars. We know that the challenges and new conflict between national and supranational brought by globalisation radically reformulate literary national identities and particularly peripheral and semi-peripheral identities, which need to update their roles and strategies of affirmation and preservation. This approach regarding National Literature will open a new dialogue with concepts like Regional Literature and even World Literature (in terms of world system analysis)"
Political Hegemony Over the Public Intellectual in Communist Romania: Monica Lovinescu and Her Misrepresented Portrayal in the Print Press
Authors:   UNIVERSITATEA DIN BUCUREȘTI, VIZIREANU DANIELA 
Published: December 2023

● In the last decades of the Romanian communist regime, a few leading propaganda newspapers and publications such as Luceafărul and Săptămîna violently targeted Monica Lovinescu. This article aims to briefly explore several texts written against her by nationalist supporters of the regime between 1979 and 1989. For example, Artur Silvestri and Eugen Barbu wrote a tremendous number of articles against Monica Lovinescu, brought together in the series “Pseudo-culture on Short Waves” and “The Strategies and Tactics of Radio Free Europe”. Also, various articles from Romanian newspapers would become topics for discussion in the Parisian broadcasts of Radio Free Europe. The Communist Party paid attention to Lovinescu’s criticism of the Romanian regime in her weekly radiophonic program. Press campaigns, particularly in the 1980s, forcibly misinterpreted her journalistic and literary career, portraying her as an enemy of Romania from the West.
Fish Resource Survey in Benishangul-Gumuz Regional State based on Fish Resource Survey in Benishangul-Gumuz Regional State
Authors: Abegaz Hussein , Yalew Alayu , Mengistu Ermias 
Published: December 2023

The Benshangul Gumuz Regional State has ample natural resources; water bodies constitute perennial and intermittent rivers, reservoirs and flood plains with diversified fish species. The fishery resource has been exploited for centuries mainly by indigenous Gumuz and Berta peoples. The total annual harvestable fish from major Rivers is estimated to be 2400 tons/yr and River Abay covers 70% of the region’s total potential. The catch has never been recorded systematically and exact data are not known. However, the rural household based socio-economic survey conducted in 2006 indicated that from all sampled 150 Kebeles, 132 Kebeles (88%) used fish from the rivers. The survey reveals also that 70-83% of 20 Kebeles, 50-70% of 10 Kebeles and 10-45% of 19 Kebeles population have access for fishing at the nearby rivers. The whole population of Mandura and Sirba Abay Woredas and 83% of the population in 36 Kebeles of Maokomo, Guba, Bulen and Kemashi Woredas used fish for food. The current exploitation level is estimated only at 183 tons/yr. The catches are used mostly for home consumption and rarely sold in marketing places as fresh and/or dried when the production exceeds the needs of the family. Along the river coastal areas per capita consumption of fish amongst the peoples reaches about 22 kg/person/yr. Fishes are of special significance for food security in the region, as all the fish caught is going to be consumed by local communities.

One of the students' job readiness can be influenced by soft skills, which can be seen that soft skills are needed in aspects of planning and the job search process and success in pursuing a job career. In the current era of the industrial revolution 4.0, students are expected to be ready for all conditions in the field, they must be mentally and intellectually tested and intellectual. Instead of providing job readiness soft skills, skills, knowledge, organizational or work experience are also highly seen by employers. Because from a worker who is ready to carry out the assigned work and is responsible, human resources emerge who are ready to build a company well and to increase competitiveness for other offices.The purpose of this study is to obtain empirical data on variables that affect the job readiness of final year students majoring in office administration education UNJ, as for the specific research objectives, namely: knowing the influence of secretarial competence self esteem and self efficacy.
På vej mod en national selvforståelse
Authors: Bill Drude Terkildsen 
Published: December 2023

Grænsedelingen i 1920 var den endelige kulmination på de nationale strømninger og brydninger, som havde raset i Slesvig siden det nationale gennembrud i starten af det 19. århundrede. Alligevel var den nationale identifikation i Slesvig i 1920 stadig mangfoldig og i høj grad selvstændig fra kongeriget. Folkeafstemningerne i 1920 skabte imidlertid et behov for simple nationale billeder og budskaber, som befolkningen kunne forholde sig til og spejle sig i. Denne artikel undersøger de indre budskaber i den danske agitation og hvordan den danske bevægelse under afstemningskampen konstruerede et nationalt selvbillede. Artiklen påviser i den forbindelse, hvordan den nationale identitet historisk set og til stadighed formes og konstrueres.
Kampen om Flensborg
Authors: Nissen Mogens Rostgaard 
Published: December 2023

I de første uger efter folkeafstemningen 14. marts 1920 i afstemningszone 2, fandt en heftig opinionskamp sted i de rigsdanske aviser. Debatten drejede sig om Flensborg; skulle byen med til Danmark uanset afstemningsresultatet, skulle den forblive i Tyskland eller skulle den eventuelt internationaliseres og være under international kontrol. Argumenterne for eller imod var ikke nye, men de blev fremstillet skarpere efter afstemningen havde fundet sted, end det var tilfældet inden 14. marts. I artiklen tages der afsæt i de holdninger, som præsenteres i de fire store rigsdanske aviser; de konservative Nationaltidende og Berlingske Tidende – som ønskede Flensborg med til Danmark – og Politiken og Social-Demokraten, der var imod.
Hvordan skaber man et nationalt mindretal?
Authors: Thomsen Merete Bo 
Published: December 2023

I hundredåret for grænseafstemningen i 1920 er der talt og skrevet meget om de to nationale mindretal, som fremkom på hver sin side af den ændrede grænse. Her tænkes som regel på de organiserede mindretal, som imidlertid først skulle etableres ud af de lokale sindelagsmindretal. Hvordan denne organisering foregik, og hvordan de dansksindede reagerede herpå, er undersøgt i en række mellemslesvigske landkommuner i perioden 1920-33 og er temaet for denne artikel.
Hans Majestæts Haderslevske Amtsfiskeri
Authors: Nielsen Henning 
Published: December 2023

En nysgerrighed over for stednavnet ”Slusen”, som betegner indsøen Mindets udløb i Lillebælt ved Hejlsminde, fik forfatteren til at undersøge navnets oprindelse og baggrund. Studier af arkivmateriale viste, at ikke blot Hejlsminde, men også Bankel sø og Slivsø blev inddæmmet i slutningen af 1500-tallet og forsynet med tidevandssluser, som skulle omdanne de oprindeligt saltvandede åbne fjorde til ferskvandssøer, med henblik på opdræt og fiskeri af ferskvandsfisk. Fiskeriet administreredes af amtsforvaltningen i Haderslev og indgik sammen med fiskeriet fra en mængde større og mindre søer i ”Hans Majestæts Haderslevske Amtsfiskeri”. Artiklen fokuserer på de tre indsøer, som udgjorde et dominerende element i fiskeriet.

Published: December 2023

Background:Emerging data have supported the immunostimulatory role of radiotherapy, which could exert a synergistic effect with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). With proven effective but suboptimal effect of ICI and chemotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), we designed a pilot study to explore the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) plus adebrelimab and chemotherapy in TNBC patients.Methods:Treatment-naïve TNBC patients received two cycles of intravenous adebrelimab (20 mg/kg, every 3 weeks), and SBRT (24 Gy/3 f, every other day) started at the second cycle, then followed by six cycles of adebrelimab plus nab-paclitaxel (125 mg/m² on days 1 and 8) and carboplatin (area under the curve 6 mg/mL per min on day 1) every 3 weeks. The surgery was performed within 3–5 weeks after the end of neoadjuvant therapy. Primary endpoint was pathological complete response (pCR, ypT0/is ypN0). Secondary endpoints included objective response rate (ORR), residual cancer burden (RCB) 0-I, and safety.Results:13 patients were enrolled and received at least one dose of therapy. 10 (76.9%) patients completed SBRT and were included in efficacy analysis. 90% (9/10) of patients achieved pCR, both RCB 0-I and ORR reached 100% with three patients achieved complete remission. Adverse events (AEs) of all-grade and grade 3–4 occurred in 92.3% and 53.8%, respectively. One (7.7%) patient had treatment-related serious AEs. No radiation-related dermatitis or death occurred.Conclusions:Adding SBRT to adebrelimab and neoadjuvant chemotherapy led to a substantial proportion of pCR with acceptable toxicities, supporting further exploration of this combination in TNBC patients.Funding:None.Clinical trial number:NCT05132790.

Published: December 2023

Background: The child and adolescent obesity have become a major public health problem. Selenoprotien p1 (SEPP1) is widely acknowledged to be among the most delicate functional indicators of Se status and it plays a role in the metabolism of Se and in anti-oxidative defense. So, we aimed to assess Selenoprotein-p level in obese children and adolescents.
Methods: This cross-sectional comparative work included 60 children: 30 obese children and the control group consisted of 30 children who were healthy and matched in terms of gender and age. A comprehensive taking of history and clinical assessment with anthropometric measurements were conducted on all children and adolescents. Basic investigations and serum selenoprotien-p1 level were performed.
Results: Serum selenoprotien-p1 (SEPP1) levels were substantially decreased in obese children contrasted to controls.
Conclusions: Selenoprotien p1 levels were substantially decreased in obese children and adolescent. Selenoprotien p1 could be a sensitive functional biomarker of selenium status.

Genetic variation among populations in parental exclusion of heterospecific larvae in burying beetles
Authors: Takata Mamoru , Matsuo Yuki 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThe family is the smallest unit of society, where parents invest significant time and resources in their offspring, providing parental care through defense and feeding. These parental investments, which benefit the offspring by increasing their survival rates and growth, are constantly at risk of exploitation by both conspecifics and heterospecifics. As a result, parents are known to employ various mechanisms that prevent the inclusion of unrelated young in the family unit. In this study, we investigated burying beetle Nicrophorus quadripunctatus, which exhibits elaborate parental care, and found that the rate of exclusion of heterospecific larvae varies genetically across different populations. Two populations were identified: one where competing congeners were present and one where they were absent. We bred individuals from these populations under laboratory conditions, isolated from competitors, and tested the exclusion rates of unrelated larvae. Our results revealed that parents from the population coexisting with competitors had a significantly higher exclusion rate of heterospecific larvae. In contrast, no significant differences were observed between the populations regarding the exclusion of unrelated conspecific larvae. These findings suggest that the exclusion of heterospecific larvae is genetically higher in populations where competitors are present. This study represents an important step toward understanding the genetic basis underlying parental acceptance or rejection of unrelated young, offering new insights into the evolution of family life and parental care strategies.
