A descriptive exploratory study on how nurse educators use digital stories in the classroom

Melissa Schwartz: A DESCRIPTIVE EXPLORATORY STUDY ON HOW NURSE EDUCATORS USE DIGITAL STORIES IN THE CLASSROOM This study examines the experiences of 12 nurse educators using digital stories in undergraduate nursing courses. Two issues were explored: 1) How and for what purpose are nurse educators incorporating digital stories in the classroom, and 2) What benefits and/or problems have been identified in the use of digital stories in nursing education. Study results showcase the most compelling reasons and methods for using digital stories as a pedagogical tool. Overall, student reactions were positive and benefits identified amidst the challenges. Knowledge gained from this study will assist educators in higher education as they incorporate digital stories in the classroom.

Successful Treatment of Persistent Hiccups with Baclofen and Gabapentin: A case report

Persistent hiccups are described as a recurring troublesome series of involuntary inspirations accompanied by glottic closure, lasting longer than a month. Recently, baclofen, the most effective treatment for intractable hiccups was found to be a useful drug for the management of chronic hiccups, and that substituting gabapentin for baclofen can be effective. Moreover, gabapentin was used successfully in combination with baclofen. We report here on three patients with persistent hiccups, where gabapentin was used successfully as an “add-on” with baclofen.
Numerical Simulation of Indoor Air Pollution Levels in a Church and in a Museum in Greece

Abstract Using the Nazaroff and Cass model, indoor air pollutant concentrations were predicted inside two buildings which house valuable cultural properties. Both are located in the centre of Thessaloniki, Greece. One building is an eighth-century Byzantine church, Agia Sofia, which is naturally ventilated; the other is an exhibition hall at the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki, with a conventional air-conditioning system. Model predictions were based on outdoor air pollutant concentration measurements, on meteorological data and on the design, use and operation of each building. The results, which cover a typical wintertime two-day period for each building, show that in these buildings, despite their differences, the indoor concentrations of air pollutants such as 03, NO, N02, HCHO, PAN and HN03 were generally higher than those recommended by most air quality standards. Changes in the ventilation of the buildings, to mitigate air pollution, are also discussed.
No-Fault Compensation Schemes for Medical Injury: A Review

This report was commissioned by the No-Fault Compensation Review Group in Scotland. It provides an up-to-date analysis of existing no-fault schemes in New Zealand, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland, as well as limited schemes which operate in Virginia and Florida in the United States. Drawing on such analysis, the report considers a number of specific elements such as the advantages and disadvantages of no-fault schemes; choice of model; equality of coverage; cost and affordability; access to justice; and linkages to patient complaints processes, professional accountability and patient safety. The report was designed to assist the Group in its deliberations on whether a no-fault compensation scheme for medical injury should be established in Scotland. The Group’s report setting out its findings and recommendations was published in 2011.
Représentations et conceptions des élèves grecs par rapport au concept d'équilibre chimique / Greek pupils' representations and conceptions about the chemical equilibrium concept

Le but de cette recherche était la détection et l’étude des représentations, des conceptions et des difficultés d’apprentissage des élèves grecs à propos du concept d’équilibre chimique. Cent soixante quinze élèves de 17-18 ans des filières scientifiques ont répondu par écrit aux six questions d’un questionnaire. Les résultats ont mis au jour que les élèves ont des difficultés à représenter des systèmes de substances en équilibre chimique au niveau moléculaire et au niveau empirique. Plusieurs élèves ont aussi des difficultés pour concevoir «l’histoire» d’un système, c’est-à-dire l’évolution dans le temps des substances initiales jusqu’à l’état d’équilibre, ainsi que le déplacement de l’équilibre chimique quand le système est perturbé. Souvent, ils font des prévisions basées sur des règles personnelles qu’ils ont développées, au lieu d’utiliser la loi de Le Chatelier et/ou la loi d’action de masse relative aux équilibres chimiques. La recherche d’éventuelles corrélations entre leurs représentations et leur performance en résolution de problème a mis au jour quelques sources possibles d’erreurs. Les conceptions des élèves ont été prises en compte pour la production d’un logiciel multimédia ayant comme but d’aider les élèves à surmonter leurs difficultés.
An Insight into implant failure through Inducible Displacement and Gait Analysis in Total Knee Replacements

Knee osteoarthritis is a debilitating disease causing pain and disability in adults. Biomechanical factors including obesity, abnormal magnitude and load distribution have been cited to play a role in its initiation and progression with its definite cause being multi-factorial. Total knee arthroplasty has become the treatment of choice for knee osteoarthritis and although the procedure is mostly successful, there are some patients who experience implant failures which necessitates revision surgery. Revision surgery is more complicated and thus there is the need to monitor patients who have undergone TKA so as ensure better outcomes and also address problems much earlier. Objective methods like Radiostereometric Analysis (RSA) has proven to be a good tool at diagnosing these implant failures. Inducible displacement with RSA has the potential to serve as a one-time measure to diagnose implant failures. Previous studies have applied loads to induce motion to the knee in various wayssquatting, exercising and weight-bearing on the affected limb. This was not standardized and caused wide variations in the data. This work looked at refining a device used to apply standardized loads to the knee resulting in a more portable and faster way of applying load to the joint. Gait analysis is used to assess implant function pre and post surgery. Some gait patterns have also been related to implant failure. Previous works have focussed primarily on associations between well-working implants (non-revised patients) and these gait patterns (adduction moments and flexion angles). This work focussed on any differences in the gait patterns between patients who did not undergo revision surgery and those that did. Although most parameter differences did not reach statistical differences, they point to important trends that may explain the causative factors (adduction moments) whiles others may point to the effects of disease progression (external rotation).
PERSEPSI PEREMPUAN PENGGEMAR KPOP TENTANG KONSEP MASKULINITAS BOYBAND KOREA SELATAN

Berbicara mengenai laki-laki tidak akan lepas dari kata maskulinitas atau sebuah kata sifat atau konsep gender yang berhubungan dengan peran sosial ataupun perilaku laki-laki. Konsep maskulinitas juga dipengaruhi oleh budaya yang dikonstruksi dan disebar luaskan oleh media kedalam masyarakat. Budaya populer yang hadir juga memberikan gambaran konsep maskulin yang baru kepada masyarakat dunia. Salah satunya yang konsep maskulinitas yang menuai perhatian masyarakat salah satu di Indonesia adalah konsep maskulinitas budaya Korea Selatan yang cukup berbeda dari konsep maskulin yang diketahui pada umumnya. Hallyu Wave atau Korean Wave adalah sebuah istilah sekarang banyak digunakan untuk merujuk pada popularitas hiburan Korea dan budaya di Asia dan bagian lain dunia. Dimulai dari munculnya drama korea hingga hadirnya boyband nya seperti Super Junior, Big Bang, CNBlue, TVXQ, EXO, BTS dan lainnya yang menambah semarak penyebaran budaya Korea. Salah satu hal yang menjadi daya tarik utama dari produk Hallyu Wave bagi penggemar perempuan adalah gambaran sisi maskulin para anggota boyband. Kini Hallyu Wave menjadi fenomena dimana penggemarnya atau bisa disebut dengan KPoper yang fanatik bersikap seolah idola mereka adalah segalanya, seperti mencari tahu semua informasi idola mereka, rela menunggu idola mereka di bandara, menganggap idola mereka sebagai pasangan imajinatif mereka hingga secara tidak sadar menjadikan idola mereka sebagai pria ideal. Jika dibandingan dengan maskulinitas yang ada di Indonesia serta latar belakang budaya yang berbeda tentu apa yang dilihat oleh penggemar akan sulit ditemukan di kehidupan nyata. Maka dari itu penelitian ini ingin melihat bagaimana persepsi perempuan penggemar KPop tentang konsep maskulinitas boyband Korea Selatan serta bagaimana dalam keseharian mereka. Untuk memenuhi tujuan penelitian digunakanlah teori S-O-R yang memiliki persepsi dalam responnya setelah mendapatkan stimulus dan interpretasi dari penggemar itu sendiri. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan fenomenologi dimana peneliti berusaha untuk memahami persepsi penggemar dalam melihat maskulinitas boyband Korea Selatan dan dalam keseharian mereka.
Medetomidine-Ketamine Anaesthesia in the Chimpanzee (Pan Troglodytes)

SUMMARY Twenty five captive chimpanzees were anaesthetised with intramuscular medetomidine at approximately 50 pg/kg plus ketamine at approximately 5mg/kg or 2mg/kg. Anaesthesia produced by both doses was characterised by rapid induction, prolonged and stable immobilisation, excellent relaxation and calm recovery. No qualitative differences were noted between the two dose rates when assessed 15 minutes after injection. Medetomidine was antagonized in 8 animals with intramuscular atipamezole, producing a mean recovery time of 16 minutes. Medetomidine was antagonized in 9 animals with intravenous and intramuscular atipamezole, giving a mean recovery time of 5.7 minutes. It is concluded that medetomidine-ketamine anaesthesia offers a number of advantages over other single-injection anaesthetic techniques in chimpanzees.
Dutch Journalism in the Digital Age

With an ever-growing supply of online sources, information to produce news stories seems to be one mouse click away. But in what way do Dutch journalists actually use computer-aided research tools? This article provides an inventory of the ways journalists use digital (re)sources and explores the differences between experts and novices. We applied a combined methodological approach by conducting an ethnographic study as well as a survey. Results show that Dutch journalists use relatively few digital tools to find online information. However, journalists who can be considered as experts in the field of information retrieval use a wider range of search engines and techniques, arrive quicker at the angle to their story, and were better at finding information related to this angle. This allowed them to spend more time on writing their news story. Novices ended up more dependent on the information provided by others.
Patient Satisfaction Level with Health Care Quality at Dental Hospital of Hasanuddin University

-Patient satisfaction that related with quality of service is relation of perceptions of the care received and his expectations before getting the service. Most complaints of patients in a satisfaction survey concerning the presence of officers who are not professional in providing health services. This research is observational with cross sectional study design, which held on April 2016. Sample in this research were 94 patients who received treatment in Oral Surgery, Periodontology, Conservation, and Prosthodontic Department in Dental Hospital of Hasanuddin University. At the confidentiality of the disease, there is 6 people feel very satisfied, 55 people feel satisfied, 32 people feel quite satisfied, and one person was not satisfied. There are 16 people feel very satisfied, 52 people feel satisfied, 25 people feel enough satisfied, and 1 person was not satisfied with dimension empathy. Responsiveness in resolving patient complaints, 14 people feel very satisfied, 53 people feel satisfied, 26 people feel quite satisfied, and one person was not satisfied. Patients want a skilled officer who can provide them with information. They also want health care providers to work as a collaborative team and communicate with each other effectively to provide good quality services. Environment and being comfort in the room and room service are the key for patients statisfaction. Communicatio n is also an essential established between patient and doctor. Conclusion, Patients was satisfied with the health services in dental hospital of Hasanuddin University based on four dimensions studied: assurance, empathy, responsiveness, and physical appearance. Keywords--satisfaction level; quality of health care; dental hospital
The Effects of Using a Wiki on Student Engagement and Learning of Report Writing Skills in a University Statistics Course.

A wiki was used as part of a blended learning approach to promote collaborative learning among students in a first year university statistics class. One group of students analysed a data set and communicated the results by jointly writing a practice report using a wiki. A second group analysed the same data but communicated the results in a practice report that they wrote individually. Both groups were taught the same material. The report was used for practice as a way to support student learning and was not submitted for assessment. Both approaches improved report writing knowledge and did not differ in the mark obtained on an individually written research report subsequently submitted for assessment. The wiki approach produced higher engagement with other students, cognitive engagement, and class attendance than the individual approach. Qualitative feedback suggested some drawbacks to using a wiki. Overall participation was also low with only 2 of the 22 wiki subgroups completing all components of the practice report. The present findings suggest that student engagement, but not performance on assessment, may be enhanced when a wiki is used to support learning in higher education.
Factors associated with intention of hookah and tobacco supply in Iran: Application of the theory of planned behavior

ABSTRACT Aim: Planning to reduce the production and supply of hookah and tobacco can be a positive step toward reducing the use of hookahs and tobacco in the community. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the predictive factors for the supply of hookah and tobacco among handlers of public places and food centers based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 351 public and food service handlers in 2017 in Arak, selected by stratified random sampling. The participants completed a self-administered questionnaire including TPB constructs and demographic variables. Data were analyzed by SPSS-18 using independent t test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient and linear regression. Results: The intention to reduce the supply of hookah among public and food centers handlers was evaluated at undesirable levels. The results showed that the Subjective norms (β = 0.432) and perceived behavioral control (β = 0.392) were the most important predictors of the intention to reduce the supply of hookah and tobacco. Conclusion: Considering the effectiveness of the TPB in predicting the intention to supply the hookahs and tobacco, the use of these findings in planning the educational interventions is recommended among public and food centers handlers.
A Double-Sided View to Adult Vaccination: The Opinions and Attitudes of Patients and Health Workers

Objective: Although there are adult vaccination schemes in our country, there are serious deficiencies in the way that doctors direct the patients to this vaccination, but also patients have to make and demand these vaccinations. The aim of our study is to identify the shortcomings in this area and draw a roadmap for what arrangements should be made in terms of physicians and patients in order to increase adult immunization rates in primary care. Method: We conducted a two-phase, multicentered, descriptive clinical trial between October and December 2017. The first phase of the trial was carried out with patients from 3 Family Health Centers in Antalya, Istanbul and Osmaniye. Patients to be interviewed were selected voluntarily among Family Health Center’s applicants. The second phase of the trial was carried out with health workers, who were participated to trial from 26 different provinces of Turkey. In the process, a questionnaire of 19 questions was applied to primary health care workers by the internet. Results: 490 patients were included in the study. There was a significant difference between gender, age, education level and guideline follow-up and vaccination status of patients [p < 0.05]. 794 primary health care workers participated in the survey. There was a statistically significant difference between gender, age groups, education and follow-up of guidelines and vaccination status [p < 0.05]. Conclusion: As a result of the studies including our study about adult vaccination, only 10% - 20% of the targeted groups in adults can be vaccinated. However, just like in childhood during adulthood, vaccinations protect individuals from diseases and provide economic benefits. Firstly, the knowledge level of physicians on adult immunization should be updated with in-service trainings, they should first be convinced to vaccinate because they are in risk group and then they should be recommended vaccination to patient to increase the vaccination rates.
The Morris Tune

WTe know little about dancing in the market towns, villages, and hamlets of Tudor and Stuart England. No farmer or apprentice blacksmith left a choreographic record like that of an Inns of Court reveler; the countryman's dances were transmitted "foot to eye," as his songs were transmitted "lip to ear. " Nor was there a Tusser to describe choreographic activities as there was one to tell us how country people plowed and sewed. Writers occasionally provide a hint of what village dancing was like, but nothing precise; their purpose was never to provide information sufficient unto a performance. At most they delineate style, not content, like Palsgrave, Princess Mary's tutor, who laced his French lessons with such sentences as, "I lyke nat his daunsing, he hoppeth and tryppeth lyke one of the countraye," and "Are you nat ashamed to skyppe thus in your daunsynge, lyke a gyrle of the countray," and "Marke hym whan he daunseth, you shall se hym springe lyke a yonckher. " Palsgrave, like other writers of the period, exhibits the prejudices of the city.2 What the "yonckher" danced is clear enough, at least in name: morris, hornpipe, jig, round, and country dance. But when we try to particularize, to go beyond nomenclature, our sources usually prove luxuriant, contradictory, and inadequate. The morris provides a cautionary example. It was, in many ways, the national dance of England, as much city as country dance, performed by "rude mechanics" in both venues; that much Machyn's diary,3 the records of
DOSeqSLAM: Dynamic On-line Sequence Based Loop Closure Detection Algorithm for SLAM

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is vital for modern autonomous robots. Visual place recognition of pre-visited areas, widely known as Loop Closure Detection (LCD), constitutes one of the most important SLAM components. In this paper a sequence-based LCD algorithm is proposed by evolving SeqSLAM method. Instead of using fixed-size sequences’ length during search process, as in the original approach, we suggest a dynamical length definition based on the images’ content proximity. Specifically, sequence segmentation is achieved through a feature matching technique applied on the incoming visual sensory information, while the mechanism operates on-line without the need of any pre-training procedure. Each sequence’s similarity score, produced by a weighted average function, is utilized as a decision factor for the loop closing selection. Finally, an extended image-to-image search in the chosen group of images, avails the system of identifying the appropriate match. A temporal constraint prevents early pre-visited areas to be presented as false-positive matches. The method is evaluated on several outdoor publicly-available datasets, revealing a substantial improvement on SeqSLAM.
Serial Montreal Cognitive Assessments Demonstrate Reversible Cognitive Impairment in Patients With Acute Transient Ischemic Attack and Minor Stroke

Background and Purpose—Cognitive changes after ischemic stroke are often overlooked, particularly acutely and in patients with mild or transient deficits. We assessed patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA)/minor stroke with serial cognitive screening tests. We tested the hypothesis that mild acute deficits are transient and improve after TIA/minor stroke. Methods—Patients with acute TIA/minor ischemic stroke, without a history of cognitive impairment, presenting with a National Institute of Health Stroke Scale score ≤3 were assessed <72 hours of onset. Patients were administered the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) at days 1, 7, 30, and 90. Cognitive impairment was defined as MoCA <26 and MMSE ≤26. Results—One hundred patients with a median (interquartile range) National Institute of Health Stroke Scale score of 1 (2) and median age of 68 (20) years were included. Baseline median MoCA score (26 [4]) was lower than the MMSE (29 [2]; P<0.0001). Cogniti.
PPARα Activators Inhibit Tissue Factor Expression and Activity in Human Monocytes

Background—Tissue factor (TF), expressed on the surface of monocytes and macrophages in human atherosclerotic lesions, acts as the major procoagulant initiating thrombus formation in acute coronary syndromes. Peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor-α (PPARα), a nuclear receptor family member, regulates gene expression in response to certain fatty acids and fibric acid derivatives. Given that some of these substances reduce TF activity in patients, we tested whether PPARα activators limit TF responses in human monocytic cells. Methods and Results—Pretreatment of freshly isolated human monocytes or monocyte-derived macrophages with PPARα activators WY14643 and eicosatetraynoic acid (ETYA) led to reduced lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced TF activity in a concentration-dependent manner (maximal reduction to 43±8% with 250 μmol/L WY14643 [P 0.05, n=3]). Two different PPARγ activators (15-deoxy_Δ12,14-prostaglandin J2 and BRL49653) lacked similar effects. WY1464.
