Abstract:

The digital humanities (DH) has a long and successful history of creating, using, and maintaining DH centres, as evidenced by the vast centerNet network. Furthermore, some of the most successful centres are constantly evolving in form and function. In this paper, we propose that the next phase in the evolution of the DH centre may involve a related phenomenon from the design research community, called the ‘Living Lab.’ The European Network of Living Labs describes them as dedicated to open forms of design for social good: ‘Living Labs (LLs) are defined as user-centred, open innovation ecosystems based on a systematic user co-creation approach, integrating research and innovation processes in real-life communities and settings.’ Current member labs deal with topics ranging from health and well-being (52%) to mobility (14%), but there are few that focus on issues central to DH, such as open social scholarship. We argue that incorporating more DH into the Living Labs network, and more Living Labs into DH centres, would benefit everyone involved. Specifically, DH labs could benefit from Living Labs’ experience with complex problems, and Living Labs could benefit from DH centres’ experience producing research.

Abstract:

AbstractIn last decades, the number of non-native land snails increased up to 15 percentages; they create more than eight percent of all the Slovakian species. Trend of newly established snail species corresponds with increases in the average temperatures as well as the intensity of foreign trade, suggesting a synergistic effect of both climatic conditions and socioeconomic factors. The research of the open-air garden centres in Slovakia confirmed both factors. We report here some of the newly established populations of sixteen mollusc species. In the old garden centres, the number of species as well as the number of individuals decreased slightly. Area of the garden centre has a very high impact on both abundance and species diversity. The size and age of garden centre proportionally influences the composition of mollusc assemblages. Two new species Cornu aspersum and Cepaea nemoralis were noticed for the first time in Slovakia. The recent findings of the introduced populations demonstrate the potential of this snail to colonise new areas.

Abstract:

The Essay considers 'the rule' of the so called post-civil political centre that corresponds to the familiar concept of open society, questioning the good as well as the bad sides of such 'rule'. The research is in the first place about global open society stability and attention is addressed to its present enemies - from terrorism, over organized crime, all the way to the so called local legitimates that are confronting the universal and global legitimates represented by the followers of the open society from the post civil political centre area. The Essay presents the debate with Fukuyama's thesis about the 'end of history' considering that open society, i.e. global post civil political centre has visible enemies who do not allow for dialectics of history to stand still as Fukuyama believed. Instead of Fukuyama's 'end of history' the Essay comes to the conclusion that present global situation is marked by post-modern opposition of liberal-democratic post civil centre and extreme anti civil margins, with reference to the opposition of open society and its enemies, which will put under limits further steps of history towards new socio-historical forms.

Abstract:

Introduction The British Orthopaedic Association/British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons guidelines for the management of open tibial fractures recommend early senior combined orthopaedic and plastic surgical input with appropriate facilities to manage a high caseload. The aim of this study was to assess whether becoming a major trauma centre has affected the management of patients with open tibial fractures. Methods Data were obtained prospectively on consecutive open tibial fractures during two eight-month periods: before and after becoming a trauma centre. Results Overall, 29 open tibial fractures were admitted after designation as a major trauma centre compared with 15 previously. Of the 29 patients, 21 came directly or as transfers from another accident and emergency deparment (previously 8 of 15). The time to transfer patients admitted initially to local orthopaedic departments has fallen from 205.7 hours to 37.4 hours (p=0.084). Tertiary transferred patients had a longer hospital stay (16.3 vs 14.9 days) and had more operations (3.7 vs 2.6, p=0.08) than direct admissions. As a trauma centre, there were improvements in time to definitive skeletal stabilisation (4.7 vs 2.2 days, p=0.06), skin coverage (8.3 vs 3.7 days, p=0.06), average number of operations (4.2 vs 2.3, p=0.002) and average length of hospital admission (26.6 vs 15.3 days, p=0.05). Conclusions The volume and management of open tibial fractures, independent of fracture grade, has been directly affected by the introduction of a trauma centre enabling early combined senior orthopaedic and plastic surgical input. Our data strongly support the benefits of trauma centres and the continuing development of trauma networks in the management of open tibial fractures.

Abstract:

To cope with new challenges, universities of technology need to team up and complement their continuing engineering education programmes with open distance learning. The European FACILE project provided a starting point for collaboration among universities in providing continuing engineering education with facilitated open distance learning. Facilitated open distance learning combines the flexibility of open learning with support of the learning process through local support centres. Following experiences with FACILE, European centres will form a network acting as a geographically separated virtual centre for continuing engineering education which will offer programmes for an audience located all over Europe.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The past two decades have seen increasing interests in open data. Many scientists believe that the original research data should be properly organized and opened to the public and researchers throughout the world, and, once the open-data strategies are put into practice, the entire scientific research enterprise could be transformed. Driven by the trend of data sharing many platforms and repositories have been established. Universities, funding agencies and academic journals are also taking an active role in facilitating data sharing. In this forum discussion organized by National Science Review and chaired by Jianhui Li, panelists from diverse backgrounds who have all participated in the development of open data gathered together and talked about the recent progress and future directions of open data.

Abstract:

Let γn denote n-dimensional Lebesgue measure. It follows easily from the well-known volume mean value property of harmonic functions that if h is an integrable harmonic function on an open ball B of centre ξ0 in ℝn, where n ≥ 2, thenA converse of this result is due to Kuran [8]: if D is an open subset of ℝn such that γn(D) < + ∞ and if there exists a point ξo∈D such thatfor every integrable harmonic function h on D, then D is a ball of centre ξ0. Armitage and Goldstein [2], theorem 1, showed that the same conclusion holds under the weaker hypothesis that (1·2) holds for all positive integrable harmonic functions h on D.

Abstract:

Background: Cholecystectomy is a method of treatment for acute or chronic cholecystitis with cholelithiasis or any other diseases of gall bladder. The diagnosis of gall stone disease depends on an accurate history, physical examination, supporting lab investigations and a proper ultrasound of abdomen. After the advent of lap cholecystectomy there is revolution in minimally invasive surgery. Because of better technological innovations, the lap cholecystectomy has become gold standard presently.Methods: This prospective observational study was performed in Surgery Department in SGT Medical College, Budhera, Gurugram, over a period of 2 years from January 2017 to January 2019. Patients were taken from both sexes and all age groups from different units of surgery. A total of 100 patients were taken for study who underwent cholecystectomy.Results: Mean age of patients in our study was 38.64 years. Most patients were females. Procedure adopted was open in 18% patients and lap cholecystectomy in 74% patients. Conversion from laparoscopic to open was done in 8% patients. In 8% patients there were operative complications. Average hospital stay was much less for lap cholecystectomy.Conclusions: After the advent of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, most of the surgeons are performing more and more of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Here incision is small, pain is less, and hospitalization is shorter. Even in acute cholecystitis, in experienced hand, lap cholecystectomy can be performed safely. The author’s inclination is totally in favour of lap cholecystectomy, except the cases where lap cholecystectomy is contraindicated.

Abstract:

Aims. Our goal is to develop and provide an open end-to-end (Sun to Earth) space weather modeling system, enabling to combine (“couple”) various space weather models in an integrated tool, with the models located either locally or geographically distributed, so as to better understand the challenges in creating such an integrated environment. Methods. The physics-based models are installed on different compute clusters and can be run interactively and remotely and that can be coupled over the internet, using open source “high-level architecture” software, to make complex modeling chains involving models from the Sun to the Earth. Visualization tools have been integrated as “models” that can be coupled to any other integrated model with compatible output. Results. The first operational version of the VSWMC is accessible via the SWE Portal and demonstrates its end-to-end simulation capability. Users interact via the front-end GUI and can interactively run complex coupled simulation models and view and retrieve the output, including standard visualizations, via the GUI. Hence, the VSWMC provides the capability to validate and compare model outputs.

Abstract:

Abstract Expansion of cities and their impact areas extend also the semantic boundaries of urban ecentres, while public open space in the city centres maintain attractivity, especially within the medieval cores. The diverse functional processes that satisfy the needs of all users of urban space in general, on the one hand carry the function of circulation or communication, and on the other – relaxation or recreation. Elements of spatial organization and environment planning essential for the realization of each function differ, and depending on which of the functional processes prevails in the particular place, open space acquires either priority of communication or of recreation. The paper focuses on the interests and needs of main groups of users of the historical city centre – Riga Old Town, states availability of adequate space, as well as sets the criteria of high-quality public open space.

Abstract:

One-year-old ‘Florida Prince’ cultivar peach trees grafted on a ‘Nemaguard’ rootstock were planted in the early spring of 2018 at the Centre of Agricultural Research and Experiments, Minia University, located in southwest Egypt. The trees were planted 5 × 5 m in a randomised complete block design with four replicates, with ten trees in each replicate. In the late spring, two different pruning systems were applied; traditional open centre (OC) and de-branched top trees (DBT). The OC trees were headed at 80 cm above the ground. DBT is a modification of the OC, but no heading was undertaken and the new shoot growth arising from the 20 cm at the top of the plant were removed. Before the winter pruning took place, measurements were taken on the upper two opposite branches. The average length and diameter values of the upper two opposite branches at the top of the trees trained to the OC were higher than those trained with the DBT. In contrast, the distance between the upper two branches (25 cm) at the top of the DBT trees was significantly higher. Likewise, the values of the crotch angles (48°) and the number of branches (81 of 100 branches) that showed desired crotch angles (more than 40°) were remarkably higher in the trees trained with the DBT. After the winter pruning took place, the DBT trees were higher than the OC trees. Additionally, the trees trained with the DBT had low pruning costs and took less time. Moreover, the pruning wood weight of the DBT trees was about half of the pruning wood weight of the OC trees. In conclusion, the DBT training system showed the desired impact on the crotch angles and the tested pruning characteristics.

Abstract:

Implicit in the discussion about the “open” future of the library are questions about the library’s identity in an increasingly digital context and anticipations of change (Anderson et al., 2017). But the “open” future of the library does not need to be a passive future. Much like the traditional library, whose books and reading rooms were positioned between students and faculties, the future library can still occupy a similar liminal space, even as digital access supplants books and librarians do less shushing. But the future library must actively seek to occupy that space. As a future library service, a writing centre can be positioned to help do so. This paper draws on the experience of the Academic Writing Centre at the University of Oslo (UiO). As part of the University Library, the Writing Centre is already actively helping to mediate the space between students and instructors. Empowered by its liminal position, the Writing Centre offers tailored, non-hegemonic writing support based on student and faculty needs. As a best practices presentation, this paper identifies key aspects of the Writing Centre’s operational model to demonstrate how the Writing Centre at UiO has already begun to actively (re)position the University Library in the space between students and faculties. Drawing from Academic Literacy theory (Lillis, 2001; Lea & Street, 1998), this paper characterizes the space between students and instructors in the context of academic writing, emphasizing the aspects of identity formulation germane to the writing process (Ivanič, 1998; Lillis, 2010), as well as the faculties’ mandates to develop discourse literacy. From its liminal position between the faculties and the students, and with an awareness of the nature of the gap between the two, the Writing Centre (as part of the University Library) aims to actively support students and instructors toward each other and spark broader collaboration with the University Library, now and in the future. On a practical level, this paper discusses successes and challenges for the Academic Writing Centre so far and offers insight into the Writing Centre’s important role in the future library.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction Access to clinical trials is a common request for patients with brain tumours. However, opening clinical trials requires additional work per centre opened. We have previously shown that surgical and oncology workload varies between centres, and fluctuates over time. There is a trade-off between offering access to clinical trials and increasing costs associated with opening trials in centres that treat few patients. Methods We used two separate datasets from England covering 3 years – one for neurosurgical workload and one for radiotherapy. We only included adult patients and calculated cumulative proportions of the malignant primary brain tumour population (C71) by number of centres. We investigated stability by checking how many patients would have to be added/ removed from a centre to change their rank. Results There were 7061 surgical and 5060 radiotherapy patients. To capture 25% of patients, we would need to open trials in 4 surgical/5 radiotherapy centres; for 50%, 9 surgical/ 13 radiotherapy centres; for 75%, 16 surgical/ 24 radiotherapy centres. Centre rank was fluid: adding 16 surgical/9 radiotherapy patients would change the rank of a centre. Discussion These are the first data to allow for rational planning of trials in brain tumour patients. We have shown that we can reach 75% of the brain tumour population by opening trials in ~50% of surgical and radiotherapy centres. Centre rank alters over year, so we should be cautious about being too prescriptive. Nonetheless, these data should allow some rational planning of trial centre inclusion.

Abstract:

Background: Appendicectomy is one of the most common procedure in general surgery, accounts for approximately 1% of all surgical operation. Laparoscopic appendicectomy are likely to have less postoperative pain, early discharge, decreased wound infection, better cosmesis and also early return to routine work. Laparoscopic procedure for appendicectomy is compared with open surgical technique with respect to duration of surgery, post operative pain, duration of analgesic, post operative complications, post operative length of hospital stay and return to routine work.Methods: This is a prospective and comparative study from September 2013 to August 2014 involved 100 cases, 50 open and 50 lap appendicectomy, which were randomly selected and were operated in department of surgery, Dr S. M. C. S. I. Medical College, Karakonam.Results: In present study pain score was 2.7±0.9 for open group as compared to 1.3±0.5 in lap group (P<0.05) because of longer incision stretch of muscles and wound infection. Post operative complications like vomiting was lower in laparoscopic group with 8% as compared with 36% in open group (P<0.05) and ileus was lower in lap group with 17.3±7.1 and for open group 30.8±8.9 with P<0.05 which were significant. There is significant reduction in incidence of post operative wound infection in lap group 4% as compared to open group 26% (P<0.05). Duration of post operative hospital stay was significantly low for lap group 2.8±0.9 as compared to open group 4±2.9. The return to normal activity was low for lap group 8±3.15 days as compared to open group 13.7±3.15 days. Duration of surgery for open appendicectomy was 48.2±12.4 and for lap appendicectomy was 68.5±20.3.Conclusions: Laparoscopic appendicectomy is better than open appendectomy in selected patients with acute or recurrent appendicitis.

Abstract:

Objective: The Consultant Outcomes Publication has made it mandatory to submit surgeon-level data on radical cystectomy (RC) practice in England. The current analysis describes contemporary surgical practice and compares this by surgeon and centre case volume. Materials and methods: Between 1 January 2014 and 31 December 2015, data on 3742 RCs performed by 161 surgeons over 84 centres were recorded on the British Association of Urological Surgeons audit and data platform. Centre case volumes were grouped as high (> 60), medium (30–60) and low (< 30), while surgeon case volumes were grouped as high (> 30), medium (8–30) and low (< 8). All data averages were for the combined 2-year period. Results: The median number of RCs performed was 16/surgeon and 31/centre; 45.4% of cases were performed for muscle-invasive transitional cell carcinoma (TCC). The commonest performed urinary diversion was ileal conduit (85.2%), followed by orthotopic bladder substitution (5.7%). Open radical cystectomy (ORC) was performed in 67.8%, robotically-assisted cystectomy (RARC) in 20.6% and laparoscopic cystectomy (LRC) in 9.1% of cases. RARC was more likely to be performed by high-volume surgeons and centres. The majority of patients underwent a lymph node dissection (LND), with rates varying from 79.5% to 90.3%. Reported rates of high-grade complication were generally low across all groups, suggesting under-reporting. There was a trend towards higher reported transfusion rates as centre volumes decreased. The median length of stay (LOS) was 7–9 days for minimally invasive approaches compared to open surgery, which was 11–12 days. Mortality rates were low across all groups. Conclusions: Compliance with the data registry is high. ORC remains the most common approach. High-case volume surgeons and centres more commonly offer RARC. The majority of patients undergo LND. There is a trend towards higher reported rates of transfusion as centre volume decreases. LOS is shorter in RARC and LRC in comparison to ORC, but is otherwise similar across centres and surgeons.

Abstract:

A novel microstrip bandpass filter using stepped impedance resonators (SIRs) with asymmetric open stub-loaded is proposed in this paper. The filter uses asymmetric open stubs as capacitive loads, resulting in higher-order spurious frequencies suppression and wider upper stopband. Compared with the traditional filter based on stepped impedance resonators at the same design frequency of 2.4 GHz, the proposed filter can significantly reduce the circuit size of 45 %. By changing the geometric dimensions of the asymmetric open stub-loaded SIRs, which can achieve single-band bandpass filter at the centre frequency of 3.5 GHz and dual-band bandpass filter at the centre frequency of 2.4/3.5 GHz.

Abstract:

This study aims to investigate the inbound open innovation and firm performance in different time periods across different organisations. Specifically, a conceptual model at firm level analysis was proposed based on literature review. The model was tested with structural equation modeling, using the empirical data which were collected from 60 research centre projects and 62 business unit projects in 2008. Results reveal the causal relationship between the implementation of inbound open innovation and the firm performance in both research centre and business unit. Comparative results showed that regarding research centre, increasing the frequency of inbound open innovation, efficient interal R&D activities and the higher degree of product newness make projects stable and efficient; consequently, the success of firm performance is achieved. As for the business unit, the frequently inbound open innovation practices are necessary for terms of generating efficiency and outcomes, and efficient inter R&D stargeties are significant conditioned by the degree of product newness, contributing to the firm performance as well.

Abstract:

Objective: To compare robotic partial nephrectomy (RAPN) with open partial nephrectomy (OPN) to assess efficacy and impact of learning curve. Methods: From 2010 to 2015 159 patients had a partial nephrectomy (82 OPN and 77 RAPN). All data were collected prospectively. We compared the demographics, peri and postoperative outcomes. Results: Mean age was 60 years in both groups; 59% of patients were men. Tumour size was larger in the open group (34 mm vs 30 mm; P<0.08), but RENAL nephrometry scores greater than 6 were comparable (over 60%). Mean ischaemic time was longer in the RAPN group (18 vs 13 minutes; P<0.04) but complication rates were similar. The RAPN cohort had a reduced estimated blood loss (100 ml vs 300 ml; P<0.01) and shorter median hospital stay (2 vs 5 days; P<0.01). Only two patients in each group were margin positive. The RAPN cohort demonstrated reduced estimated blood loss and a trend towards more complex tumours with increasing learning curve. Conclusion: RAPN is superior to OPN in terms of reduced hospital stay and estimated blood loss without compromising oncological outcomes. This service can be delivered safely and effectively in a low to medium volume cancer centre; these results are similar to published figures from high volume international centres.
