SummaryMultiple pin and methylmethacry-late external fixation devices were applied in 74 animals to successfully treat several different types of orthopaedic injuries. The major advantages associated with use of the technique included increased versatility in the location and angle of fixation pin place-ment and greater ease in placement of the connecting bar when compared with conventional clamp and connecting bar systems, particularly with transarticular placement of a device. The major disadvantages associated with the technique included, increased difficulty compared to conventional K-E systems regarding postoperative adjustment of the device and difficulty in removing individual pins that were loose or infected. Generally, removal of the device was not a problem, provided sufficient space was left between the connecting bar and the skin surface.Complications associated with the technique were similar to studies which have evaluated other types of external fixation and include fixation pin loosening, pin tract drainage or infection, fixation failure, osteomyelitis, angular limb deformity, mal-union, delayed union and nonunion.The multiple pin and methylmethacrylate external fixator provides a useful and effective method of repair for a wide variety of orthopaedic injuries. The use of methylmethacrylate as a connecting bar is a helpful adjunct to standard external fixation systems.The use of multiple pin and methylmethacrylate external fixation (MPMF) increases the versatility of the external fixation technique in small animal orthopaedic injuries. Disadvantages include difficulty in removing or replacing individual fixation pins.

We examine to what extent immigrant school performance is affected by the characteristics of the neighborhoods that they grow up in. We address this issue using a refugee place ment policy that provides exogenous variation in the initial place of residence in Sweden. The main result is that school performance is increasing in the number of highly educated adults sharing the subject's ethnicity. A standard deviation increase in the fraction of high-educated in the assigned neighborhood raises compulsory school GPA by 0.8 percentile ranks. Particularly for disadvantaged groups, there are also long-run effects on educational attainment. (JEL I21, J15, R23)

Life Movement

In this illustrated article, I begin with a question: Do rocks talk? The life, movement and migration of stories – and rocks, as the oldest living beings, have witnessed these histories and transformations (Donald, 2009; Tinker, 2004). This article explores the changing landscapes and stories of our lives, and the places where we live and dwell. It unravels discourses seeped in colonial histories, while recognizing our responsibilities as newcomers and settlers to these places and Indigenous peoples. This métissage of stories speaks to the meaning of places within our lives – and what we can learn from these places, when and if, we are willing to listen. And rocks, as the oldest living beings, always remember.

Two Age Groups

The article explores the changes in the psychological characteristics of the personality of senior age personnel, who play an important role in ensuring the professional performance of staff and passen-ger safety. The specifics of pilots’ activities, their psychological and personal qualities are noted and described, and changes that occur with the increase in age have been revealed. The study involved 466 people of two age groups, young and age. With the help of L.N. Sobchik’s “SMIL” method, a number of personal features of aviation personnel of older age groups have been revealed. The use of correlation analysis showed a number of differences in the two groups in such personal indicators as “overcontrol”, “pessimism”, “rigidity”, “introversion”. The results will allow to take into account the individual characteristics of young and age aviation personnel in psychological examination, place-ment of personnel.
