It is heartening to see the decline of the current pandemic which has taken a significant toll of our work, health and other valuable resources as we limp back to normalcy. The editorial team of the JKOA has been working tirelessly to bring new information in Orthopaedics and with this issue, we continue the endeavour to showcase the good work done by our members. It has been a privilege for the editorial team to serve KOA and with immense pride and responsibility as we present this new issue for the members. We congratulate the authors for their innovative scientific work presented in this issue. Scientific research and publication entirely stands on the honesty and integrity of the authors and the editorial teams of journals worldwide invariably are dependent on the sense of trust in their presumed ethical study. It is a matter of great concern to see an increasing frequency of misconduct in scientific publishing which include various forms of plagiarism, Salami slicing, manipulation of authorship and bias based on presence of potential conflict of interest. Duplicate publication is one such example where the authors submit their papers to multiple journal at the same time. The authors withdraw their manuscript as soon it is accepted in another journal. This appalling act amounts to disrespect for rules, guidelines and above all the ethics of publication. It results in loss of precious time and resources for the journal editors, reviewers associated with issues related to copyright. The authors should be aware that the journals frequently communicate with each on ethical issues and a failed response from the authors or their institution could jeopardise their paper. Our journal follows the COPE guidelines diligently which clearly mentions the problems and solutions related to duplicate submissions. Many of the journals state in their information for authors including that of ours, that dual submission is unethical and subject to automatic rejection. In recent time

This chapter identifies changes that the printing industry has undergone during the past 25 years as a result of the digital revolution. It also provides a brief historical perspective of the printing industry and how it has evolved. It is undeniable that the computer has had an impact on the development of print media and today it is rare to find any prepress work done without the use of some digital technology. The workflow of a traditional printed piece is described from start to finish and is compared to a more modern digital workflow to familiarize readers with the processes and contrast the old with the new techniques. This chapter will identify common problems that occur in the preparation of print media using digital technologies. In particular, it will explore a variety of problems and solutions related to the use of digital prepress as well as identifying new innovations intended to improve prepress operations in the future.

It is difficult to consider the development of science in Canada since the last World War without at the same time thinking of the late E. W. R. Steacie, and of the impact that he has had on this development. Temperamentally, he was the true scientist with all the scientist’s concentration and reserve, and yet to an outstanding degree he had a sense of the paramount importance that science would have in the world of the future. He was endowed with a compelling personality, had strong ideas about science, and had the firm conviction that research in Canada should be intensified and expanded both in the universities and in industry until it was commensurate with the standard of living prevalent in the country. With his understanding and clear vision, with his drive, his tenacity and powers of persuasion, Steacie was able to obtain from the government over the years increasingly important subsidies in support of scientific work in the universities. In scientific research his role has been truly remarkable, and his influence has been felt in all fields of scientific activity. He was always interested in men who did good work, no matter what the discipline was, and keen to help them in every way he could. If he had to defend a cause in which he believed, he was fearless and acted with vigour, without any consideration of possible adverse consequences to himself. He, more than anyone else, can be said to have moulded the present pattern of scientific research in Canada.

This article summarizes the major categories of ethical violations encountered during submission, review, and publication of scientific articles. We discuss data fabrication and falsification, plagiarism, redundant and duplicate publication, conflict of interest, authorship, animal and human welfare, and reviewer responsibility. In each section, pertinent historical background and citation of relevant regulations and statutes are provided. Furthermore, a specific case(s) derived from actual situations is(are) presented. These cases were chosen to highlight the complexities that investigators and journals must face when dealing with ethical issues. A series of discussion questions follow each case. It is our hope that by increasing education and awareness of ethical matters relevant to scientific investigation and publication, deviations from appropriate conduct will be reduced.

Globally, fermented beverage and condiments are made by using different conventional practices, raw materials, and microorganisms. This paper presents the available literature review on the technology and microbiology of traditional Ethiopian beverages and condiment products. Traditional fermented beverage and condiment products have essential vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and antioxidants that are all enhanced through the process of traditional fermentation practices. In Ethiopia, fermented beverage and condiment products have practiced in a long history. During the production of traditional fermented beverage and condiment products, controlled natural fermentation process with the absence of starter cultures are used to initiate it. Moreover, the preparation of many traditionally fermented beverage and condiment products is still practiced in a household art, thereby a wide variety of fermented beverages and condiments are consumed in Ethiopia. In conclusion, the review discusses the nature of the beverage and condiment preparation, poor traditional household processing, and the extent and limitation of scientific work done so far and suggests some recommendations to limit the problem in Ethiopia.

Job involvement (JI) concerns the degree to which employees identify with their job. It may be influenced by the level of satisfaction of one's needs, be they intrinsic or extrinsic. Utilizing a sample of 150 bank officers from four major public sector banks in India, the present study investigated this stipulated relationship between JI and need satisfaction, but did not find any strong relationship. The important finding that emerged was that the bank officers, regardless of their job involvement, wanted more “decision making authority,” “opportunity for personal growth and development,” and “recognition for good work done.” One factor of importance for job involvement appeared to be satisfaction vis-a-vis “recognition for good work done.” Recommendations based on the findings include adequate feedback and incentives for good work, widening the area of responsibility, larger delegation of authority, and tangible as well as symbolic modes of recognition for raising need satisfaction and job involvement.

... In view of the number of organizations annually participating in these expeditions, the Argentine Government decided to establish one central organization to be responsible for the scientific work done by Argentina in the Antarctic. In addition, this organization was to be the common repository for information gathered on previous Argentine expeditions, as well as for that of future endeavours. The Instituto Antartico Argentino was therefore established in Buenos Aires. It is a scientific and technical organization whose mission is to study the nature of the antarctic region. From its inception, it has steadily grown to occupy a prominent position in antarctic affairs and become the leading organization influential in all Argentine antarctic problems. By Presidential Order the organization entitled "Instituto Antartico Argentino 'Coronel Hernan Pujato' " was established on 17 April 1951 under the administration of the Minister of Technical Affairs. The name honored Coronel Hernan Pujato, who commanded the first Argentine Army antarctic expedition. He became the Institute's first Director. With the preparations for the International Geophysical Year underway, the Institute's activities expanded and Captain Rodolfo N. Panzarini, now a retired rear admiral, was named Director. He still retains this position and is the main driving force behind the organization (see Fig. 1). At the time of his nomination, the organization officially took the name "Instituto Antartico Argentino" (I.A.A.). The Institute is an in-house polar organization, containing in one building the entire administrative staff, scientists, technicians, laboratories, shops, and equipment storage facilities necessary to carry out scientific investigations in the Antarctic. There is an advantage in keeping under one roof the majority of persons with an active interest in antarctic work so that they can confer easily with one another, exchange data, and have easy access to a polar library. Such a closely knit organization constitutes a potentially powerful voice in antarctic affairs. This voice perhaps is not as great a consideration in the present thinking of other polar organizations as it is with the Argentines, whose interest in Antarctica, and in particular the Palmer Peninsula area, is very strong. ...

Individual Research Results

As a matter of respect for the person, it is considered an ethical duty to offer to return research results to participants where appropriate. Nevertheless, the return of individual research results to participants raises many socio-ethical issues and greater challenges when the participant is a child. This discrepancy arises partly because the return of individual pediatric research results entails a tripartite relationship between researcher, child, and parent(s) and is embroiled in numerous considerations (e.g., acting in the best interest of the child, respect for the person, and respect for the autonomy of the parents/child).Extra caution is required in the pediatric research context because children cannot generally decide (consent) whether they want to be informed of their own research results or whether the results should be disclosed to parents. Children have long been considered a special and vulnerable group, and their parents, as guardians, play a critical role in the consent process. However, with regards to the return of individual research results, this might pose a potential conflict of interest between the current or future desires of the child and those of the parents.
