ObjectiveDisplaced intra-articular tongue-type fractures are often treated with surgical interventions, and there is a lack of consensus regarding the surgical approach. This retrospective cohort study aimed to compare percutaneous cannulated screw (PCS) fixation and plating with a minimally invasive longitudinal approach (MILA) after closed reduction for the treatment of tongue-type calcaneal fractures.Materials and MethodsA total of 77 patients with intra-articular tongue-type calcaneal fractures between September 2015 and July 2019 were included in this study. They were randomly allocated into two groups: PCS fixation (n = 32) and MILA (n = 45). The outcome measures included demographic variables, operation time (OT), preoperative time (POT), hospital stay time (HST), blood loss, visual analog scale (VAS) scores, American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) hindfoot scores, postoperative complications, and imaging parameters. The patients were clinically examined at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months, with a final follow-up period of 27 months.ResultsNo significant differences were observed during the follow-up in calcaneal length, height, Gissane's and Böhler's angles, VAS scores, AOFAS hindfoot scores, or complication rates between the two groups. However, the postoperative VAS scores in the PCS group were significantly lower than those in the MILA group (p &lt; 0.05). Furthermore, the OT, POT, and HST in the PCS group were significantly shorter than those in the MILA group (p &lt; 0.05). Blood loss was lower in the PCS group than those in the other group (p = 0.044). However, postoperative calcaneal widening was significantly smaller in the MILA group than that in the PCS group (p &lt; 0.001).ConclusionsAfter closed reduction for the treatment of tongue-type calcaneal fractures, PCS fixation was superior to MILA in terms of OT, POT, HST, blood loss, pain, and degree of comfort. Meanwhile, MILA has the advantage of restoring the calcaneal width. Under the same rehabilitation program, the two approaches showed similar abilities in maintaining the closed reduction.

Educação no Brasil em tempos de pandemia é uma reflexão acerca da função da educação no referido contexto histórico-social. Abrange relações derivadas do trabalho docente e da gestão escolar, movidas pelas mudanças sociais, econômicas, políticas, educacionais e, tecnológicas. Objetivamos refletir sobre o contexto educacional brasileiro, no que tange ao trabalho docente e aos processos de gestão no intento de ressignificar a função da educação, enquanto construtora da autonomia e cidadania dos educandos, no contexto das ações educativas em tempos de pandemia, em que somos urgidos a agir e a decidir na incerteza. É uma pesquisa documental, fundamentada nos estudos de Adorno (1995), Bittar (2007), Dias e Porto (2010), Muller (2017), Perrenoud (200), ancorada na Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional, nº 9.394/96 e nas recomendações da UNESCO (2020), incluindo a Força-tarefa internacional para ajuda aos professores. As reflexões e conceitos se pautam na ressignificação da educação como direito de todos. Percebe-se as fragilidades na organização temporal, estrutural em relação ao que se recomenda e ao que se constrói entre os sujeitos e a não efetiva função social da escola, bem como a integração de toda a sociedade brasileira, nestes tempos de pandemia.

Published: April 2022

Se revisaron los métodos terapéuticos empleados para enfrentar los diferentes brotes de matlazahuatl en el siglo XVIII, a partir de cuatro escritos novohispanos de ese periodo. La medicina de la Ilustración, en vías de su desarrollo moderno, no influía aún en las prácticas médicas en la Nueva España, según se observa en los recursos paliativos y curativos empleados, así como en su eficacia, a la luz de los testimonios recabados.
La literatura médica y otros textos generados en esa época, describen la sintomatología y asignan diversos términos que oscurecen la identificación del matlazahuatl, factores que se han considerado en este trabajo al examinar el fenómeno epidémico.

Published: April 2022

Abstract
We have developed a process to grow high-crystallinity silicon films on insulators by intermittent pulse heating (IPH)-assisted plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition to address a drawback of incubation layer formation at the early stage of growth. By applying electrical pulses (22 V, 5 Hz, 10% duty ratio) to a Mo strip underneath a SiO2 layer, the surface is instantaneously heated to 1050 K while maintaining a steady substrate temperature of 670 K. The growth mechanism similar to that of solid-phase epitaxy enhanced its growth rate up to 1.2 nm s−1, which is five times greater than that of a-Si grown outside the Mo strip. The grown films assisted with IPH also showed a 97% crystalline volume fraction with no incubation layer.
Albumin aggregation using low-temperature atmospheric pressure helium plasma jet in argon and air atmosphere
Authors: Shimizu Tetsuji , Fukui Takahiro , Sakakita Hajime 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
A mechanism of albumin aggregation using a low-temperature atmospheric pressure helium plasma jet was investigated. This aggregation is one of the most dominant processes in the plasma-induced hemostasis. Using a chamber where air and argon can be used as surrounding gas, the role of reactive nitrogen species on the aggregation of albumin was tested. By changing the surrounding gas, it is possible to control the production of reactive species. The experimental results show that the stability of plasma discharge seems more important for the aggregation of albumin than the presence of reactive nitrogen species. Moreover, it was shown that long lifetime species in the solution and exposure to UV light do not play a major role in the aggregation.

A Critical Review of the Roles and Functions of Traditional Leaders
Authors: Nkareng Klaas-Makolomakwe  , Tanusha Raniga  
Published: April 2022

The epitome of pre-colonial African history and culture is embedded within the institution of traditional leadership. Yet, this institution is still mired by much controversy and the cloud of being seen as not fitting the principles of democracy, while needing to remain relevant to its subjects. Having survived both the colonial and apartheid eras in South Africa, it still faces legislative control in the post-1994 era. The discourses presented in this paper advance the contested views regarding the legislative control by the state over the institution of traditional leadership. Within rural areas, the institution is perceived by local citizens as independent and a valuable institution, upholding gender justice and cultural rights. Providing focused attention on the abuse of women, this paper offers insights from empirical evidence in KwaZulu-Natal on the prominent role played by senior women traditional leaders in addressing women abuse in rural communities.

Building Resilient Leadership
Authors: Van Breda Adrian 
Published: April 2022

Covid-19 poses the greatest challenges for effective leadership in many years. Covid-19 undermines the deepest security we feelas humans and disables people’s capacity to work and create. This opinion piece argues that leaders should not merely hold on until Covid-19 passes, but rather learn the lessons Covid-19 wishes to teach us. In so doing, leaders become resilient to adversity and can facilitate the resilience of employees, teams, and organisations. This article addresses these lessons in relation to our common humanity, the centrality of relationships, the vital importance of spirituality, and the need for structure to enable productivity.
Ayodele Awojobi as a Scholar-Activist
Authors: Fagunwa Temitope 
Published: April 2022

Intellectuals are the threads that hold societies together. They form the basis upon which the making and unmaking of the future of societies are built. In fact, it is almost impossible to assess the progression of earliest societies without considerations of the transformative roles of individuals with inimitable intellectual skills and essence. This article will attempt a preliminary study on the socio-cultural and political tasks of intellectuals in neo-colonial Africa. Since there is a nexus between colonial domination vis-àvisthe production and consumption of knowledge, the existence of neo-colonial Africa thus presents a society whose intellectuals are behind in the fulfilment of their historical task. The dominance of Western liberal epistemologies and methodologies across the purported African academy have precluded, to a reasonable extent, the existence of ‘African’ intellectuals whose mission ordinarily ought to be related to the actualisation of the African revolution. Nkrumah has argued that in birthing a revolutionised postcolonial Africa—a society free from all forces of capitalism and neo-colonialism—the intellectuals are destined for an important role. Chomsky has echoed this position when he posited that there has to be a connection between scholarship and activism. By exploring the socio-political activities of the ‘mighty giant’ Professor Ayodele Oluwatuminu Awojobi, this article examines the mandate of ‘African’ intellectuals as both the ‘producers of ideas’ and ‘workers for ideas’. Through the exploration of existing primary and secondary sources, this article argues that postcolonial African intellectuals have the duty of being inspired by the revolutionary life and works of the activistscholar Ayodele Awojobi. The ultimate submission of this article is that scholarship cannot only be an arena for rhetoric, but must also be committed to the production of pragmatic thoughts, ideas, and actions that have the capacity of transforming the prevailing repellent social conditions and realities of the vast majority of the downtrodden African masses.

Published: April 2022

Background: The current study aimed to determine the effect of video games among the Non-Video-Game Addicted (NVGA) and Video Game Addicted (VGA) in terms of mental health and physical activity among adolescents from Karachi.Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at public sector schools and colleges of different socioeconomic status of Karachi, Pakistan, from Jan-March 2020. Total of 321 students, adolescents, aged from 15-19 years, from both genders and who used to play video games but were considered as non-video game adictors (using less than four hours per day on video games) and video game adictors (using more than 5 hours per day). Questionnaires were used to collect data based on DSM-5 to find gaming addiction in adolescents with 21 questions. "General Health Questionnaire (GHQ)," with 14 questions on mental health. "International Physical Activity Questionnaire," for physical activity status. Students were divided into two groups: non-video game addicted (NVGA) and video game addicted (VGA). Results: Out of 321, 233 (72.6%) were VGA, and 88 (27.4%) were NVGA students. There were 184 (57.3%) males and 137 (42.7%) females. The mean addiction score was 2.221+0.49 and 3.34+0.35 in the VGA group and NVGA group, respectively. 19.0% of males and 8.4% of females were VGA. Variables used for video game addiction in the study were salience, tolerance to play the game, mood modification, relapse, withdrawal, conflict, and problems (such as sleep deprivation, etc.). The mean score for all these variables was higher in the VGA group (p<0.001). The mean score of MHQ responses was significantly higher in the VGA group, indicating the high intensity of distress.Conclusion: It has been concluded from the study that a very high frequency of video game addiction in adolescents (VGA group) caused mental and physical health problems in the study population.

Background: Construction industry is one of the most hazardous and accident prone occupation causing around 270 million accidents and 2 million deaths annually. In Pakistan reporting of incidence of occupational injuries and accidents is low. The present study aimed to determine the physical and mental health profile of construction workers in Lahore, Pakistan.
Subjects and methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among construction workers in Lahore from January 2020 to September 2020. The study included 181 participants by using non-probability convenience sampling technique. Data was collected by using a self-structured, pre-tested questionnaire. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 23. Chi-square test was applied and p-value <0.05 was taken as significant to find out association with duration of occupational exposure.
Results: Maximum number of the participants 55 (30.4%).was between age group 26-35 years and 97 (53.6%) were illiterate. Among 181 participants, 112 (61.87%) were found to be hypertensive, 98 (54.1%) were drug abusers. The total duration of hours spent on work per day was reported more than 10 hours in 50 (27.6%) of the participants. A significant association was observed between duration of occupational exposure and presence of chronic illnesses (p value=0.028) and mental health issues (p=0.041). A significant association (p-value= 0.026) was also found with duration of exposure with drug abuse. Bad effect of health on job performance was reported by 97 (53.6%) of the workers and 71(39.2%) of the workers reported restricted movements after injury during occupational exposure.
Conclusion: In this study, a relatively higher prevalence of chronic diseases, injuries and stress has been reported by construction workers, negatively affecting their occupation. Significant associations are seen with duration of exposure and its impact on physical and mental health.
