Four Propositions towards a Designed Future

Burton 한국국제미술교육학회 2018 미술과 교육 Vol.19 No.1

My presentation is an attempt to look into the changing world of culture and make central the discipline of artistic practice in education. It suggests that future art teachers educated as artists need to construct fluid, flexible and complex pedagogical repertoires that help them support the diverse needs of pupils and meet the challenges of contemporary schooling. I suggest that art education should be thought of as a “crossroads” discipline centered in art as reflective inquiry and the flexible organizations of pedagogical practice in supporting teaching and learning within the complex and changing ecological contexts of schools.

Background: Same-day discharge, defined as discharge from the hospital within 24 h of surgery, has been shown to be safe for joint arthroplasty. We examined demographic and clinical factors associated with same-day discharge and unplanned readmission following shoulder arthroplasty in adult patients.Methods: Utilizing data from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database, we extracted information of all patients that underwent shoulder arthroplasty. The primary and secondary outcome of interest was same-day discharge and 30-day unplanned readmission, respectively. We utilized multivariable logistic regression to identify covariates associated with these outcomes. Results: There were 17,011 patients analyzed when identifying predictors for same-day discharge. There was an increase in same-day discharge from 2007 to 2016. The odds of same-day discharge were significantly better for males (P < 0.001). The odds of same-day discharge was significantly decreased for every 10-year increase in age and for patients with insulin dependent diabetes, poor functional status, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, bleeding disorder, and comorbidity burden (all P < 0.001). There were 14,276 patients analyzed for hospital readmission. The odds of unplanned readmission were significantly higher for every 10-year increase in age and for patients with poor functional status, congestive heart failure, bleeding disorder, and higher comorbidity burden (all P < 0.001). Conclusions: The results of this study show that preoperative comorbidities and advanced age reduce the odds of same-day discharge. Risk stratification, preoperative optimization, and coordinated care after surgery may be helpful to optimize patients for same-day discharge.

Mistranslation or Adaptation in Medieval Manuscripts: Can One Tell the Difference?

Burton, Tom.L. 국제언어인문학회 2002 인문언어 Vol.4 No.-

Editors of medieval texts that are translated from other languages face difficulties when the translation differs significantly from the original. Are the differences unintended, the result of misunderstanding and mistranslation\ulcorner Or do they proceed from a conscious decision on the translator's part to change the meaning of the original\ulcorner Is it possible to be sure one knows the difference\ulcorner This paper discusses three test cases encountered in preparing for the Early English Text Society a critical edition of Sidrak and Bokkus, the fifteenth-century English verse translation of the Old French prose book of knowledge, Le livre de Sidrac.

Designing High Performance MEP Systems for Supertall Buildings: A Review of Challenges and Opportunities

Burton, Craig Council on Tall Building and Urban Habitat Korea 2017 International journal of high-rise buildings Vol.6 No.4

The design and construction of supertall buildings has grown dramatically in recent years. This area of practice has traditionally fallen within the purview of a very small group of architects and engineers, but this is rapidly changing, as unprecedented growth and densification has spread to markets not traditionally known for high rise construction. The design community has been increasingly committed to the adoption of green and sustainable design, and the integration of smarter, cleaner technologies across the building spectrum. This paper examines current supertall design trends, and suggests that recently completed and planned projects are trending towards more sustainable solutions, and that a unique set of best practices are emerging specific to Supertalls.

ASTRONOMY FROM THE HIGH ANTARCTIC PLATEAU

BURTON, MICHAEL G.,YANG, JI,ICHIKAWA, TAKASHI The Korean Astronomical Society 2015 天文學論叢 Vol.30 No.2

The Antarctic high plateau offers exceptional conditions for infrared and terahertz astronomy, as well as for programs requiring long, uninterrupted periods for measurements made with high cadence and photometric precision (i.e. time domain astronomy). In this review we summarise the special conditions of the Antarctic plateau which facilitate these observing regimes. We also outline some high profile science programs in each that could be conducted most effectively from the Antarctic high plateau, involving the first light in the Universe, the life cycle of our Galaxy, and the equation of state for the Universe. Three high plateau sites are under particular consideration for furthering such scientific programs{Dome A, Dome F and Ridge A. We summarise the activity underway at each site, which includes the building of new stations and the construction of facilities for optical, infrared and terahertz astronomy, as well as the plans for their future development.

Osteocutaneous Turn-Up Fillet Flaps: A Spare-Parts Orthoplastic Surgery Option for a Functional Posttraumatic Below-Knee Amputation

Burton Harry,Iliadis Alexios Dimitrios,Jones Neil,Saini Aaron,Bystrzonowski Nicola,Vris Alexandros,Pafitanis Georgios 대한성형외과학회 2023 Archives of Plastic Surgery Vol.50 No.5

This article portrays the authors' experience with a complex lower limb bone and soft tissue defect, following chronic osteomyelitis and pathological fracture, which was managed by the multidisciplinary orthoplastic team. The decision for functional amputation versus limb salvage was deemed necessary, enhanced by the principles of “spare parts” in reconstructive microsurgery. This case describes the successful use of the osteocutaneous distal tibia turn-up fillet flap that allowed “lowering the level of the amputation” from a through knee to a below-knee amputation (BKA) to preserve the knee joint function. We comprehensibly review reports of turn-up flaps which effectively lower the level of amputation, also applying “spare-parts” surgery principles and explore how these concepts refine complex orthoplastic approaches when limb salvage is not possible to enhance function. The osteocutaneous distal tibia turn-up fillet flap is a robust technique for modified BKA reconstructions that provides sufficient bone length to achieve a tough, sensate stump and functional knee joint.

방사선 알레르기 흡착 시험법(Radioallergosorbent testing, RAST)에 기반을 둔 아토피에 대한 저감작을 경험 중인 개에서의 천공개선충과 임상수의사에 의해 야기되는 고부신피질양증

3.5살짜리 래브라도 리트리버(Labrador Retriever)는 매일 처방되는 피질스테로이드제에 무반응으로 비계절적, 심한 소양증을 2년간 앓고 있는 병력을 갖고 있었다. 공기유래 알레르겐(알러젠; Allergens)들에 대한 시험관내 RAST1(Radioallergosorbent testing; 방사선 알레르기 흡착 시험법)에 양성으로 나타난 것을 기초로 한 면역요법(Immunotherapy)을 18개월 동안 시행했으나 성공적이지 않았다. 부신피질호르몬(Adrenocorticotropic Hormone, ACTH)자극 시험법은 이것이 본래 임상수의사에 의해 발생(Iatrogenic)된 것임을 예시하여준다. 피부 찰과물(Skin scrapings)을 검사한 결과 개 천공개선충(Sarcoptic mange)이라는 진단이 내려졌다. 이버맥틴(Ivermectin)치료효과와 피질스테로이드(Corticosteroid)의 투약중지에 대한 반응이 극적으로 나타났다. 10개월 추적기간(10-month follow-up period)동안에 이 질병은 재발되지 않았다. 이것은 비록 계절적인 알레르겐을 배제하기 위해 긴 기간동안 추적이 필요하였으나 개 천공개선충이 오히려 피질스테로이드요법에 대한 2차적인 것보다는 1차적인 질병이라는 것을 말해준다. 아토피의 진단을 위해 혈청학적 시험법의 이용이 논의되었다.

Effect of low frequency motion on the performance of a dynamic manual tracking task

Burton, Melissa D.,Kwok, Kenny C.S.,Hitchcock, Peter A. Techno-Press 2011 Wind and Structures, An International Journal (WAS Vol.14 No.6

The assessment of wind-induced motion plays an important role in the development and design of the majority of today's structures that push the limits of engineering knowledge. A vital part of the design is the prediction of wind-induced tall building motion and the assessment of its effects on occupant comfort. Little of the research that has led to the development of the various international standards for occupant comfort criteria have considered the effects of the low-frequency motion on task performance and interference with building occupants' daily activities. It has only recently become more widely recognized that it is no longer reasonable to assume that the level of motion that a tall building undergoes in a windstorm will fall below an occupants' level of perception and little is known about how this motion perception could also impact on task performance. Experimental research was conducted to evaluate the performance of individuals engaged in a manual tracking task while subjected to low level vibration in the frequency range of 0.125 Hz-0.50 Hz. The investigations were carried out under narrow-band random vibration with accelerations ranging from 2 milli-g to 30 milli-g (where 1 milli-g = 0.0098 $m/s^2$) and included a control condition. The frequencies and accelerations simulated are representative of the level of motion expected to occur in a tall building (heights in the range of 100 m -350 m) once every few months to once every few years. Performance of the test subjects with and without vibration was determined for 15 separate test conditions and evaluated in terms of time taken to complete a task and accuracy per trial. Overall, the performance under the vibration conditions did not vary significantly from that of the control condition, nor was there a statistically significant degradation or improvement trend in performance ability as a function of increasing frequency or acceleration.
