Aims The aim of this study was to determine the association between knee alignment and the vertical orientation of the femoral neck in relation to the floor. This could be clinically important because changes of femoral neck orientation might alter chondral joint contact zones and joint reaction forces, potentially inducing problems like pain in pre-existing chondral degeneration. Further, the femoral neck orientation influences the ischiofemoral space and a small ischiofemoral distance can lead to impingement. We hypothesized that a valgus knee alignment is associated with a more vertical orientation of the femoral neck in standing position, compared to a varus knee. We further hypothesized that realignment surgery around the knee alters the vertical orientation of the femoral neck. Methods Long-leg standing radiographs of patients undergoing realignment surgery around the knee were used. The hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA) and the vertical orientation of the femoral neck in relation to the floor were measured, prior to surgery and after osteotomy-site-union. Linear regression was performed to determine the influence of knee alignment on the vertical orientation of the femoral neck. Results The cohort included 147 patients who underwent knee realignment-surgery. The mean age was 51.5 years (SD 11). Overall, 106 patients underwent a valgisation-osteotomy, while 41 underwent varisation osteotomy. There was a significant association between the orientation of the knee and the coronal neck-orientation. In the varus group, the median orientation of the femoral neck was 46.5° (interquartile range (IQR) 49.7° to 50.0°), while in the valgus group, the orientation was 52.0° (IQR 46.5° to 56.7°; p < 0.001). Linear regression analysis revealed that HKA demonstrated a direct influence on the coronal neck-orientation ( β = 0.5 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.2 to 0.7); p = 0.002). Linear regression also showed that realignment surgery was associated with a significant influence on the change in the coronal femoral neck orientation ( β = 5.6 (95% CI 1.5 to 9.8); p = 0.008). Conclusion Varus or valgus knee alignment is associated with either a more horizontal or a more vertical femoral neck orientation in standing position, respectively. Subsequently, osteotomies around the knee alter the vertical orientation of the femoral neck. These aspects are of importance when planning osteotomies around the knee in order to appreciate the effects on the adjacent hip joint. The concept may be of even more relevance in dysplastic hips.

OBJECTIVEPreoperative planning of thoracolumbar deformity (TLD) surgery has been shown to improve radiographic and clinical outcomes. One of the confounders in attaining optimal postoperative alignment is the reciprocal hyperkyphosis of unfused thoracic segments. Traditional planning utilizes standing radiographs, but the value of sitting radiographs to predict thoracic flexibility has not been investigated. Authors of the present study propose that alignment changes from a sitting to a standing position will predict changes in unfused thoracic segments after TLD correction.METHODSPatients with degenerative spine pathology underwent preoperative sitting and standing full-spine stereotactic radiography. A subset of TLD patients who had undergone corrections with minimum T10-pelvis fusions was analyzed in terms of pre- to postoperative alignment. Radiographic parameters were analyzed, including the T1 pelvic angle (TPA), T1–L1 pelvic angle (TLPA), lumbar pelvic angle (LPA), pelvic tilt (PT), mismatch between pelvic incidence and lumbar lordosis (PI-LL mismatch), and T2–12 kyphosis (TK). Thoracic compensation was calculated as the expected TK minus actual TK (i.e., [2/3 × PI] − actual TK). Statistical analysis consisted of paired and unpaired t-tests and linear regression analysis.RESULTSThe authors retrospectively identified 137 patients with full-body standing and sitting radiographs. The mean age of the patients was 60.9 years old, 60.0% were female, and the mean BMI was 27.8 kg/m2. The patients demonstrated significantly different radiographic alignments in baseline spinopelvic and global parameters from the preoperative sitting versus the standing positions: LL (−34.20° vs −47.87°, p < 0.001), PT (28.31° vs 17.50°, p < 0.001), TPA (27.85° vs 16.89°, p < 0.001), TLPA (10.63° vs 5.17°, p < 0.001), and LPA (15.86° vs 9.67°, p < 0.001). Twenty patients (65.0% female) with a mean age of 65.3 years and mean BMI of 30.2 kg/m2 had TLD and underwent surgical correction (pre- to postoperative standing change in TPA: 33.90° to 24.50°, p = 0.001). Preoperative sitting radiographs demonstrated significant differences in alignment compared to postoperative standing radiographs: larger TPA (39.10° vs 24.50°, p < 0.001), PT (35.40° vs 28.10°, p < 0.001), LL (−11.20° vs −44.80°, p < 0.001), LPA (22.80° vs 14.20°, p < 0.001), and unfused Cobb (T2 to upper instrumented vertebra [UIV] Cobb angle: 19.95° vs 27.50°, p = 0.039). Also in the TLD group, mean thoracic compensation was 6.75°. In the linear regression analysis, the change from sitting to standing predicted pre- to postoperative changes for TK and the unfused thoracic component of TPA (5° change in preoperative sitting to preoperative standing corresponded to a pre- to postoperative change in standing TK of 6.35° and in standing TPA of 7.23°, R2 = 0.30 and 0.38, respectively).CONCLUSIONSSitting radiographs were useful in demonstrating spine flexibility. Among the TLD surgery group, relaxation of the unfused thoracic spine in the sitting position predicted the postoperative increase in kyphosis of the unfused thoracic segments. Sitting radiographs are a useful tool to anticipate reciprocal changes in thoracic alignment that diminish global corrections.

Bisexual And Transgender

Some students perceive lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) positively, even though LGBT is a sexual deviation that is not appropriate with values and norms. There are several factors that influence an individual's perception of LGBT, including sexual identity. This study aims at looking at the contribution of sexual identity to student perceptions about LGBT. This research used a quantitative approach with a descriptive method and a simple linear regression analysis. The sample of this research was 385 taken from 15.752 undergraduate students of Universitas Negeri Padang which the sample was drawn by using the Slovin formula and continued with a Proportional Random Sampling technique. The instrument used was the Guttman model's sexual identity scale and the scale of students' perceptions of the LGBT Likert model. After analyzing the data with the descriptive technique and the simple linear regression analysis, the results showed that sexual identity significantly contributed to the students' perceptions of LGBT. This research has implications as a basis for counselors to help students avoid sexual identity mismatches and prevent the emergence of positive perceptions of LGBT.

The question of compensation in addition to sensitive to be driving someone to worl due to an effect on morale and discipline employees. Therefore , any  agency or any organization should be able to provide compensation equal to the workload  to create a workforce that efficient and effective manner can be realized. Amaore than that, the company’s goal to improve performance. Performance assessment is a subjective process that involves human judgments. Thus, performance assessment is very likely wrong and very easily influonced by sources that are not actual, so it must be taken into account and considered reasinable. Frformance appraisals are considered  to meet the target if it has a good impact on new employees who rated their performance. Simple linear regression analysis using SPSS version 12:00 data processing obtained tegression equation Y = 0,487 X 74 + with an explanation of X = award, 74 = constant, 0.487 = coefficient awards, and Y = performance based on simple linear regression equation in case of increase of one unit of the  performance award will be increased 0.487 units.
