Delayed Treatment of Traumatic Cervical Dislocation: A Case Report and Literature Review by Fabian Roland Bechet, Pierre Stassen, Dan Scorpie, Thierry Della Siega

“…We emphasize the need of dynamic radiographies to exclude unstable injuries but also a prereduction MRI (especially in unexaminable patients) to detect any dangerous disc fragment. If there is no visible change in the radiological status while attempting to reduce the dislocation by external maneuvers, there is little chance to reduce it successfully only by a single approach. …”

Identifying and Ranking Security Indicators in Online Social Networks with an MADM Technique by Hamed Fathi, Alireza Amini

“…For this purpose, a questionnaire with 24 items was distributed, and 262 samples were collected and analyzed.Findings: The results show that security indicators in online social networks in order of priority are implementing authentication and licensing mechanisms, using up-to-date software and avoiding suspicious programs, restricting personal information dissemination, monitoring to prevent unauthorized processing of information, compliance with standards the country's IT infrastructure, and the installing an intruder detection system. Also, based on the results of the Spearman correlation test, all factors have had a positive and significant effect on social network security.Originality/Value: In this study, we concluded that there is a significant relationship between the influential factors and the security of social networks on the line defined for these networks. …”

Investigation and Application of Water-Saving Monitoring Technology in Public Institutions by WANG Kang, ZHENG Yongjie, ZHANG Zhen, TANG Yanping, SONG Wenhao, GUO Xiaoming

“…Considering the characteristics of water use and the current situation of water facilities in public institutions,this study comprehensively employs the Internet of Things (IoT),cloud deployment,databases,three-dimensional (3D) visualization,and other advanced techniques to create a water-saving reconstruction scheme with integrated software and hardware for public institutions.Therefore,a smart water management platform for public institutions is built to implement advanced water-saving concepts and improve the water management level.The main research results are as follows:① By intelligent remote monitoring equipment,the multiclass water measurement network is designed to realize the fine collection of zonal water use data;② this study designs a reconstruction scheme of water facilities and explores the utilization mode of unconventional water sources to improve the utilization efficiency of water resources;③ multiple algorithms and statistical methods are used to analyze the time series of water use data,and thus this study realizes the analysis of pipeline network leakage and damage,identification of water use anomalies,and water-saving statistical analysis,and the investigation of water use laws;④ the platform with functions of monitoring and early warning is established to achieve real-time remote monitoring of water use,statistical analysis of historical water use,and identification and warning of pipe network leakage,so as to detect water anomalies in time and save water.The research results are first applied to the construction of the water-saving institution of the Pearl River Water Resources Commission to build a benchmark for the construction of water-saving institutions in the southern region.On the basis of application experience,the comprehensively integrated monitoring technology for water-saving in public institutions is developed,which provides a new idea for public institutions to save water.…”
