Abstract
As part of a broader effort to develop ground-motion data resources for China in a manner consistent with Next Generation Attenuation projects, we develop a database of geotechnical soil profiles and shear-wave velocity (VS) logs for sites having ground-motion accelerometers (this database is referred to as soil profile database [SPD]), and then use that data to develop site parameters. The site information is compiled for stations within the National Strong Motion Observation Network System (NSMONS) of China. This effort is focused on four provinces in western China (Yunnan, Sichuan, Gansu, and Xinjiang), which contribute 871 of 2023 NSMONS stations throughout China. Of the 871 sites, the SPD provides site information for 678 sites, or 78% of the total. To develop the SPD, geotechnical logs and/or VS profiles are compiled for 637 sites. This information is derived from previously unpublished reports and is assembled here in a uniform format and partially disseminated (only approximate site locations are provided). The remaining 41 sites in the SPD have confirmed bedrock conditions at the ground surface. Site metadata and parameters are compiled into a database, included as a supplemental material to this article, that includes the depth to the first occurrence of 0.5 km/s shear-wave velocity (Z0.5), three time-averaged shear-wave velocity parameters (VSe, VS20, VS30), and site classifications based on the Chinese building seismic design code and National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program Provisions. For sites with VS profiles that do not extend to 30 m, we present region-specific recommendations for extrapolating time-averaged velocities from the profile depth to 30 m. For sites with geotechnical logs but no profiles, we present procedures to estimate VS profiles from which the earlier parameters can be derived.

Green Tech: developing a new future
Authors: Gamarra Acosta Margarita 
Published: March 2022

Environmental care is a topic that has aroused special interest in the process of technological development. There is a great concern about the environmental impact of the non-sustainable projects and the interest in green research is growing to create a resilient global society. It is contradictory that while the impact of technology and industrialization has been highly negative on the environment, green technology has contributed to saving the planet. Green technology includes developments and research to protect the environment, improving the performance of the technology in a “green” manner, restoring the damage to the Earth, and optimizing processes conducive to environmental care.
EDITORIAL: Prácticas contables desde la utilidad para la toma de decisiones
Authors: Lemos de la Cruz Jorge Eduardo 
Published: March 2022

Las prácticas contables involucran a las instituciones, los agentes y el saber contable. La multiplicidad de problemas que en la actualidad son abordados por la contabilidad involucra formalmente y para distintos momentos en su desarrollo, a la economía, las finanzas, lo social y lo ambiental. A manera de exploración se construye alrededor de la cultura (y el lenguaje) como objeto posible de representación.
Este panorama diverso, amplía el campo de las prácticas y en especial las actitudes éticas de las personas, como también la disponibilidad de arquitecturas contables que permitan la representación, y dentro de ella la revelación de la información aparentemente suficiente y necesaria para los distintos usos e intereses.
En particular es de interés revisar las prácticas éticas de los agentes quienes a pesar de contar con dispositivos contables para dar cuenta de las implicaciones sociales y ambientales de los hechos económicos financieros, o evidenciar las acciones mismas de afectación y conflicto ambiental, no son relevantes en sus reportes. La literatura reporta insatisfacción en la revelación de la información centrando la dificultad en las decisiones de los sujetos frente a la construcción de la información.

Authors: Sonawane Heena , Sansare Kaustubh , Karjodkar Freny 
Published: March 2022

To assess the morphologic patterns of Incisive canal (IC), distance between the IC and buccal cortical plate in partially edentulous patients, distance between the maxillary central incisor (MCI) and IC in dentulous patients and measure length and width of IC on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan for implant placement. A total of 104 CBCT scans consisting of 52 dentulous and 52 edentulous patients aged between 20 and 60 years were retrospectively reviewed from the archives’ of oral radiology unit. Kodak 9000C 3D unit was used for obtaining these scans. The morphology, location and dimensions of IC was analysed by two observers. The correlation of age and gender with all the variables was evaluated. The most common pattern found in this study was slanted straight SS (36.5%). A single canal was reported in 95.19% scans. The mean distance from buccal cortical plate to IC was 5.09 while that from MCI to IC was 2.33. The mean canal width of IC in partially edentulous scans was 2.96 while that in dentulous scans was 3.11. The mean canal length of IC was 10.1 in partially edentulous group while it was 10.68, in dentulous group. The study population is safe for implant placement in regards to the pattern and number of canals of IC and compromised with respect to the bone available anterior to the IC. The implantologists’ needs to be aware of these shortcomings while planning implant in the upper anterior region.

Woke Culture in Canada? Anthropological Errors and Opportunities for Mission
Authors: Roderick Ellen 
Published: March 2022

With the recent emergence of the so-called “woke culture” in North America and Europe, and given the wide variety of ways “woke” has been interpreted by Christians, this paper begins by defining “woke culture” through the lens of anthropology: what is “woke culture” and what does it presuppose about the meaning of being human? The paper argues that “woke culture” carries within it the seeds of an anthropological error: it ignores the original evidence of the giveness of an embodied identity, including both the inherent meaningfulness of having received one’s body from another, and the significance of its sexual differentiation as male or female. A reduced understanding of human freedom as pure “self-making” also follows. By contrast, Pope John Paul II presents an adequate anthropology by placing embodied human experience at its center. Taking Canada as a case study for “woke culture,” examples from the three fundamental anthropological categories of birth, love (sexual difference) and death are discussed. In the face of the great confusion generated by this new category of “woke,” assessing its anthropological foundations prepares those who are engaged in Catholic education or pastoral work to respond adequately to the challenges it brings. The paper invites both a critical reading of woke culture, and a fearless creativity to be present within it.

Background: Chemotherapeutic agents such as cyclophosphamide and busulfan have been shown to have a negative impact on the spermatogenesis process. Based on this fact, the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of edaravone on spermatogenesis in busulfan-induced mice.
Methods: Forty adult male mice were equally divided into the four groups: 1) control, 2) edaravone, 3) busulfan, and 4) busulfan + edaravone. Then, the sperm parameters, histopathological examinations, and serum levels of testosterone, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH) were also assessed. Caspase-3, Beclin-1, and ATG-7 mRNA levels were also determined using real-time PCR.
Results: Our results revealed that treatment of mice with edaravone in busulfan-induced azoospermia significantly improves sperm parameters, including total count, morphology, and viability (p<0.05). Furthermore, edaravone administration led to a significant increase in serum testosterone (p<0.0001) and FSH (p<0.001) levels, as well as testis weight (p<0.05) and volume (p<0.01). Edaravone also prevented a decrease in the number of testicular cells including spermatogonia (p<0.0001), primary spermatocytes (p<0.001), round spermatids (p<0.0001), Sertoli (p<0.01), and Leydig cells (p<0.0001) in busulfan-treated mice. Additionally, in busulfan-induced azoospermia, edaravone significantly reduced the percentage of sperm with immature chromatin (p<0.0001). Following treatment with edaravone, a decrease in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and an increase in glutathione (GSH) production were noted compared to busulfan-treated mice. Furthermore, caspase-3 (p<0.05), Beclin-1, and ATG-7 (p<0.001) genes expression decreased significantly in treatment groups compared to busulfan-induced azoospermia.
Conclusion: According to our findings, edaravone can improve spermatogenesis in busulfan-induced azoospermia through free radical scavenging and autophagy modulation in testicular tissue.

Background:
Proximal tibial osteotomy (PTO) is a well-established treatment for coronal deformity and focal cartilage defects. However, the utility of joint-preserving interventions must be weighed against potential effects on subsequent total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of PTO on subsequent TKA by comparing outcomes in patients with bilateral TKAs following unilateral PTO.

Methods:
Patients who underwent bilateral TKAs from 2000 to 2015 at a single institution and had previously undergone a unilateral valgus-producing PTO were reviewed. We evaluated 140 TKAs performed in 70 patients (24 female, 46 male) with a mean age at PTO of 50 ± 8 years. The patients underwent conversion to TKA at a mean of 14 ± 7 years following ipsilateral PTO and were followed for a mean of 25 ± 7 years (range, 6 to 40 years) following PTO. The Knee Society Score (KSS), Forgotten Joint Score-12 (FJS-12), subjective knee preference, and revision were compared between the PTO-TKA and contralateral TKA-only sides.

Results:
The PTO side demonstrated similar KSS Knee subscores (41 ± 16) compared with the contralateral side (39 ± 16, p = 0.67) immediately prior to arthroplasty. Patients had significant improvements in KSS (p < 0.001) after TKA, with clinically similar KSS values at 2 to 15 years of follow-up when knees were compared in a pairwise fashion (p = 0.10 to 0.83). Five PTO-TKA knees (7%) and 4 control TKA-only knees (6%) underwent revision at a mean of 5 years postoperatively (p = 0.76). The number of all-cause reoperations was approximately twice as high in PTO-TKA knees (13% compared with 6% in TKA-only knees, p = 0.24). At the time of final follow-up, PTO-TKA knees demonstrated similar FJS-12 scores (72 ± 26) compared with the contralateral knees (70 ± 28, p = 0.57). Nineteen percent of patients preferred the PTO-TKA knee, 19% preferred the contralateral TKA-only knee, and 62% stated that their knees were equivalent (p > 0.99). The final Tegner activity score was 2.5 ± 1.4.

Conclusions:
Long-term clinical function of TKA following PTO was excellent, with patients demonstrating comparable subjective outcomes and equivalent knee preference compared with the contralateral TKA-only knees. Further, well-matched studies are needed to evaluate long-term revision and reoperation rates following PTO-TKA.

Level of Evidence:
Therapeutic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Authors: Agrawal Alok Chandra , Inamdar Anupam Pradip , Garg Ankit Kumar , Choudhary Ranjeet 
Published: March 2022

Case:
We present a case of a 12-day-old male baby who presented with right elbow deformity and inability to flex the elbow. Radiographs and computed tomography scan of the elbow revealed loss of humeroulnar alignment, superior migration of olecranon, and posteromedial displacement, suggesting an elbow dislocation. The child was successfully managed with open reduction and Kirschner wire fixation of the elbow joint. At 1-year follow-up, the child has a well-reduced and stable elbow joint with a functional range of movements.

Conclusion:
Congenital dislocation of the ulnohumeral joint can occur because of hypoplasia of the skeletal components or tissue interposition within the joint articulation.

Authors: Hung Chermaine , Mathews Katherine D. , Shibli-Rahhal Amal 
Published: March 2022

Case:
Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BeMD) is caused by a loss of dystrophin leading to muscular weakness. Glucocorticoids are used to delay loss of muscle strength but frequently result in osteoporosis and fractures. Bisphosphonates are the drug of choice, and there are limited data on the efficacy of denosumab. We describe 2 patients who were treated with denosumab and had stable to improved bone density with no side effects.

Conclusion:
Denosumab can be considered for the treatment of osteoporosis in adults with DMD/BeMD, especially when the response to bisphosphonates is not satisfactory.

Published: March 2022

Case:
This case report describes the occurrence of a squeaking knee joint on active flexion-extension in a 35-year-old man who had previously undergone posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction surgery. The patient suffered from psychosocial distress because of the noise and complained of persistent left knee pain. After nonsurgical treatment failed to resolve the noise, arthroscopic surgery was performed to debride the interposed nonabsorbable suture located on the intra-articular surface, resulting in squeaking sound elimination.

Conclusion:
Surgery was necessary to alleviate a squeaking knee joint caused by interposed nonabsorbable sutures after PCL reconstruction in this patient.

Case:
In this article, we present a case report of a patient with limited medical history and without apparent local injury, who developed left hand Group A Streptococcus-induced necrotizing fasciitis after undergoing a prolonged endodontic procedure.

Conclusion:
In addition to host factors, perhaps, the virulence of the bacteria present in the oropharynx and the expected bacterial load based on the length and complexity of a dental procedure need to be considered when deciding on whether or not to administer prophylactic antibiotics to patients undergoing dental procedures.
SISTEM PENDUKUNG KEPUTUSAN PENENTUAN KARYAWAN BERPRESTASI MENGGUNAKAN METODE SIMPLE ADDITIVE WEIGHTING PADA KANTOR DINAS PERHUBUNGAN KAB. PESISIR SELATAN

Setiap karyawan pasti ingin dinobatkan sebagai karyawan berprestasi, tapi semua itu tidak akan terlepas dari tahap-tahap penilaian. Kantor Dinas Perhubungan Kabupaten Pesisir Selatan awalnya melakukan penilaian karyawan berprestasi hanya berdasarkan pada pemantauan hasil kerja karyawan dan lamanya karyawan bekerja di kantor tersebut. Keputusan seseorang bisa salah karena proses pemilihan karyawan berdasarkan subjektifitas. Oleh karena itu diperlukan sistem pendukung keputusan untuk proses pemilihan karyawan tersebut. Sistem pendukung keputusan ini dapat menentukan nilai perhitungan terhadap semua kriteria. Sistem ini menggunakan metode Simple Additive Weighting (SAW). Metode ini merupakan suatu metode yang mencari penjumlahan terbobot. Pada studi kasus kantor Dinas Perhubungan Kabupaten Pesisir Selatan, terdapat empat kriteria yaitu kedisiplinan, spiritual, sosial, kerapian. Dalam hal ini untuk menentukan karyawan berprestasi dilakukan dengan cara penjumlahan bobot dari rating kinerja pada setiap alternatif untuk semua atribut. Nilai yang lebih besar akan mengindikasikan bahwa alternatif lebih terpilih. Pada kasus tersebut metode SAW ini dapat menentukan karyawan berprestasi berdasarkan nilai tertinggi.

Every employee would want to be named an outstanding employee, but all of that will not be separated from the assessment stages. The Office of Dinas Perhubungan of Pesisir Selatan district initially conducted an employee performance assessment based solely on monitoring the employee's work and the length of time the employee worked at the office. Someone's decision can be wrong because the employee selection process is based on subjectivity. Therefore we need a decision support system for the employee selection process. This decision support system can determine the calculated value against all criteria. This system uses the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method. This method is a method that looks for weighted summation. In the case study of Dinas Perhubungan of Pesisir Selatan district, there are four criteria, namely disciplinary, spiritual, social, neatness. In this case, to determine the outstanding employee is done by adding the weight of the performance rating on each alternative for all attributes. A larger value will indicate that an alternative is preferred. In that case, the SAW method can determine the employee's achievement based on the highest score.
