To estimate the sensitivity of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a diagnostic test in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, as well as its correlation with arthroscopic findings. Methods. Retrospective analysis of 270 patients who underwent ACL reconstruction surgery in our health department between 2007 and 2017. ACL injuries were diagnosed by radiologists specialized in musculoskeletal pathology, while the correlation between radiological and arthroscopic findings was determined through statistical analysis. Results. The sensitivity of the MRI regarding diagnosis of ACL injuries was 88.5%. In addition, the correlation between radiologic and arthroscopic findings was 73.3%. In 71% o…
A Generative Model of the Mutual Escalation of Anxiety Between Religious Groups
2018
We propose a generative agent-based model of the emergence and escalation of xenophobic anxiety in which individuals from two different religious groups encounter various hazards within an artificial society. The architecture of the model is informed by several empirically validated theories about the role of religion in intergroup conflict. Our results identify some of the conditions and mechanisms that engender the intensification of anxiety within and between religious groups. We define mutually escalating xenophobic anxiety as the increase of the average level of anxiety of the agents in both groups over time. Trace validation techniques show that the most common conditions under which …
Looking in Depth: Visual Distance Perception of Stimuli on Volumetric Multi-Planar Display

We characterize analytic curves that contain non-trivial self-affine sets. We also prove that compact algebraic surfaces do not contain non-trivial self-affine sets. peerReviewed
Childhood football play and practice in relation to self-regulation and national team selection; a study of Norwegian elite youth players.
2018
Childhood sport participation is argued to be important to understand differences in self-regulation and performance level in adolescence. This study sought to investigate if football-specific activities in childhood (6–12 years of age) is related to self-regulatory skills and national under 14- and 15-team selection in Norwegian elite youth football. Data of practice histories and self-regulatory skills of 515 youth football players selected at Norwegian regional level were collected and further analysed using multilevel analyses. The results revealed that high self-regulated players were more likely to be selected for national initiatives, and increased their involvement in peer-led footb…
On-chip quantum optical frequency comb sources
2018
Integrated optical frequency comb sources, based on nonlinear microring resonators, can be used to generate complex quantum states. In particular, we achieved multi-photon and high-dimensional entangled quantum states, as well as their coherent control.
A novel ultradeformable liposomes of Naringin for anti-inflammatory therapy
2018
[EN] Ultradeformable liposomes were formulated using naringin (NA), a flavanone glycoside, at different concentrations (3, 6 and 9 mg/mL). Nanovesicles were small size (similar to 100 nm), regardless of the NA concentration used, and monodisperse (PI<0.30). All formulations showed a high entrapment efficiency (similar to 88%) and a highly negative zeta potential (around -30 mV). The selected formulations were highly biocompatible as confirmed by in vitro studies using 3T3 fibroblasts. In vitro assay showed that the amounts (%) of NA accumulated in the epidermis (similar to 10%) could explain the anti-inflammatory properties of ultradeformable liposomes. In vivo studies confirmed the higher …
On vibrating thin membranes with mass concentrated near the boundary: an asymptotic analysis
2018
We consider the spectral problem \begin{equation*} \left\{\begin{array}{ll} -\Delta u_{\varepsilon}=\lambda(\varepsilon)\rho_{\varepsilon}u_{\varepsilon} & {\rm in}\ \Omega\\ \frac{\partial u_{\varepsilon}}{\partial\nu}=0 & {\rm on}\ \partial\Omega \end{array}\right. \end{equation*} in a smooth bounded domain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb R^2$. The factor $\rho_{\varepsilon}$ which appears in the first equation plays the role of a mass density and it is equal to a constant of order $\varepsilon^{-1}$ in an $\varepsilon$-neighborhood of the boundary and to a constant of order $\varepsilon$ in the rest of $\Omega$. We study the asymptotic behavior of the eigenvalues $\lambda(\varepsilon)$ and the eige…
Classical and quantum aspects of electric-magnetic duality rotations in curved spacetimes
2018
It is well known that the source-free Maxwell equations are invariant under electric-magnetic duality rotations, $\mathrm{F}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\mathrm{F}\mathrm{cos}\ensuremath{\theta}+^{\ensuremath{\star}}\mathrm{F}\mathrm{sin}\ensuremath{\theta}$. These transformations are indeed a symmetry of the theory in the Noether sense. The associated constant of motion is the difference in the intensity between self-dual and anti-self-dual components of the electromagnetic field or, equivalently, the difference between the right and left circularly polarized components. This conservation law holds even if the electromagnetic field interacts with an arbitrary classical gravitational background.…
Electromagnetic form factors and axial charge of the nucleon from Nf = 2 + 1 Wilson fermions
2018
We present an update on our determination of the electromagnetic form factors and axial charge of the nucleon from theNf= 2 + 1 CLS ensembles with increased statistics and an additional finer lattice spacing. We also investigate the impact ofO(a)-improvement of the currents.
Plasmon mass scale and quantum fluctuations of classical fields on a real time lattice
2018
Classical real-time lattice simulations play an important role in understanding non-equilibrium phenomena in gauge theories and are used in particular to model the prethermal evolution of heavy-ion collisions. Above the Debye scale the classical Yang-Mills (CYM) theory can be matched smoothly to kinetic theory. First we study the limits of the quasiparticle picture of the CYM fields by determining the plasmon mass of the system using 3 different methods. Then we argue that one needs a numerical calculation of a system of classical gauge fields and small linearized fluctuations which correspond to quantum fluctuations, in a way that keeps the separation between the two manifest. We demonstra…
The obligation to interact electronically with the Administration and its scarce guarantees
2018
La nueva Ley 39/2015 concibe a la Administración por defecto como e-Administración y da una vuelta de tuerca a la obligación de relacionarse por medios electrónicos. Con la nueva ley, la Administración ha de ser electrónica por defecto y no es necesario el consentimiento de la ciudadanía para la relación electrónica. Aunque se tiene derecho a elegir y cambiar el canal presencial o electrónico, se puede presumir dicha elección. Hemos pasado del derecho a la obligación de comunicarse electrónicamente con la administración, casi por defecto. Se analiza la posibilidad de imponer la relación electronicaelectrónica a través de norma reglamentaria bajo determinados requisitos y presupuestos materi…
Host-guest complexes of C-propyl-2-bromoresorcinarene with aromatic N-oxides*
2018
The host-guest complexes of C-propyl-2-bromoresorcinarene with pyridine N-oxide, 3-methylpyridine N-oxide, quinoline N-oxide and isoquinoline N-oxide are studied using single crystal X-ray crystallography and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The C-propyl-2-bromoresorcinarene forms endo-complexes with the aromatic N-oxides in the solid-state when crystallised from either methanol or acetone. In solution, the endo-complexes were observed only in methanol-d4. In DMSO the solvent itself is a good guest, and crystallisation provides only solvate endo-complexes. The C-propyl-2-bromoresorcinarene shows remarkable flexibility when crystallised from either methanol or acetone, and packs into one-dimensional sel…
Everolimus (EVE) and exemestane (EXE) in patients with advanced breast cancer aged ≥ 65 years: New lessons for clinical practice from the EVA study

RESULTS: From July …
Nuevas pinturas europeas en el MOBAT (Chile)
2018
El MOBAT es uno de los espacios culturales más significados de Chile, por la historia que envuelve su emblemático edificio como por la cantidad y calidad de obras artísticas y piezas históricas que atesora. Sin embargo, desde el terremoto de 2010, permanece cerrado al público y pendiente de ser restaurado y rehabilitado. En este trabajo completamos otros estudios anteriormente publicados sobre la colección de pintura europea que el museo alberga entre sus muros. The MOBAT is one of the most significant cultural spaces in Chile, due to the history that surrounds its emblematic building as well as the quantity and quality of artistic works and historical pieces that it treasures.

Między stronami mocy : przyczynek do analizy ustrojowej uniwersów fantastycznych
2018
In popular parlance the Star Wars universe often serves as an example of a binary division between good Rebels and evil Empire. However, a detailed legal analysis of the turbulent political and legal history of the good old Republic and its transformation into the Empire casts doubts on this popular opinion. The Republic seems to be a degenerate system, based on exploitation of the weak, slavery and dominance of the military order (the Jedi), exercising power without any democratic control. Surprisingly, the transformation of the Republic into the Empire was formally admissible, and backed up by republican constitutional principles. Moreover, it has been purported here that the political sy…

Naprawdę renesans apologii
2018
Artykuł jest krytyczną prezentacją książki Przemysława Artemiuka Renesans apologii (Płock 2016). Autor analizuje w niej zjawisko „nowej apologii”, której celem jest obrona chrześcijaństwa wobec zarzutów, podważających jego wiarygodność. Apologia, której renesans obserwujemy, nie jest kopią dawnej apologetyki, lecz przyjmuje nową, odmienną postać, określoną przez aktualny kontekst społeczny, kulturowy i religijny. Artykuł przedstawia pojęcie i genezę nowej apologii, główne obszary jej zainteresowań oraz poddaje krytycznej analizie sposób, w jaki została przedstawiona w omawianej książce. Rozprawa Artemiuka stanowi znaczący i oryginalny wkład w rozwój współczesnej teologii fundamentalnej oraz…

Szczegóły konstrukcyjne organów Paula Voelknera na przykładzie unikalnego katalogu firmowego z 1900 roku
2018
This article presents a unique advertising brochure dating from 1900 which was published by the organ building company Voelkner from Duninów and which has been discovered in the State Archives in Wrocław in the files of the Silesian Evangelical Consistory. The catalogue contains 47 pages and is a valuable source for the history of the Voelkner company. By studying this publication, the reader will get acquainted with the trends prevailing in the field of organ building at the turn of the 19th to the 20th centuries. However, the advertising folder does not contain any listing of the works realized by the company, which is probably its greatest shortcoming.

Perusopetuksen opetussuunnitelmamuutoksen merkitys luokanopettajan ammatti-identiteetille ja opetustyölle
2018
Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan perusopetuksen opetussuunnitelmamuutosta luokanopettajien näkökulmasta. Tutkimuksessa selvitetään, millaisia merkityksiä luokanopettajat antavat perusopetuksen opetussuunnitelmamuutokselle heidän opetustyössään, ja miten he ymmärtävät oman ammatti-identiteettinsä opetussuunnitelmamuutoksessa. Tutkimukseen osallistui kuusi luokanopettajaa, joista kaikki olivat työskennelleet luokanopettajana perusopetuksen opetussuunnitelman perusteiden 2004 aikana vähintään neljä vuotta. Tutkimuksen aineisto on kerätty puolistrukturoiduilla teemahaastatteluilla. Tutkimuksen aineiston analyysissä on hyö- dynnetty sekä aineistolähtöistä sisällönanalyysiä kuin myös teoriaohjaavaa an…
Evolution from γ-soft to stable triaxiality in 136Nd as a prerequisite of chirality
2018
The level structure of 136Nd has been investigated using the 100Mo(40Ar, 4n) reaction and the JUROGAM II+RITU+GREAT setup. The level scheme has been extended significantly. Many new bands have been identified both at low and high spin, among which are five nearly degenerate bands interpreted as chiral partners. Excitation energies, spins, and parities of the previously known bands are revised and firmly established, and some previously known bands have been revised. Configurations are assigned to the observed bands based on cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations. The band structure of 136Nd is now clarified and the various types of single-particle and collective excitations are well unders…
Pienikokoisen metallinpaljastimen kehittäminen kudoksen sisäisten kohteiden paikantamiseen
2018
Luunmurtuman onnistunut paraneminen vaatii murtuma-alueen luiden pysymistä paikallaan ja oikeassa asennossa koko paranemisen ajan. Tämän pakottamiseksi ortopedi voi asentaa potilaan luuhun erilaisia metallisia tukirakenteita, yhden vaihtoehdoista ollessa Kischner piikeiksi tai K-piikeiksi kutsutut pitkät ja ohuet neulat. Luunmurtuman parannuttua piikit tulee poistaa, mutta paranemisen aikana näiden päälle muodostunut luu- ja sidekudos vaikeuttavat piikkien löytämistä ilman tarpeettoman kudosvaurion aiheuttamista potilaalle. Tässä tutkielmassa kerron erityisesti näiden K-piikkien havaitsemiseen kehittämästäni, pienikokoisesta metallinpaljastimen prototyypistä, jonka toiminta perustuu anturin…
Attitudes des francophones à l'égard de l'accent finnois en français
2018
Työn tavoitteena oli selvittää, miten ranskankieliset suhtautuvat suomalaiseen aksenttiin puheessa. Natiivien suhtautumista vieraskieliseen aksenttiin ja vieraan kielen ääntämisen oppimista ja opetusta on tutkittu aiemminkin, mutta ranskankielisten suhtautumisesta suomalaiseen aksenttiin ranskan kielessä ei ole aiempaa tutkimusta. Tutkimus pyrkii toisaalta näyttämään, miten aksenttiin suhtaudutaan ja toisaalta osoittamaan, ettei kielen täydellinen, natiivinkaltainen, ääntäminen ole välttämätöntä ymmärretyksi tulemisessa. Aihe on mielenkiintoinen ja ajankohtainen, sillä ranskaa opetetaan vieraana kielenä ympäri Suomea ja opetus muuttuu ja mukautuu oppijoiden tarpeisiin jatkuvasti. Tutkimus s…
