Cultural issues in pre-registered mental health student nurses’ clinical placements: an anthropologically informed critical incident study

The aim of this anthropologically informed qualitative study was to explore the primary cultural issues in mental health student nurses’ clinical placements and to explore how these issues in placements were dealt with, from the perspectives of years two and three mental health student nurses and their undergraduate university nursing educators. ‘Critical incident’ (Fitzgerald, 2000) focused ethnographic interviews (Spradley, 1979) were undertaken with a self-selected and purposive sample of 36 second and third year mental health nursing branch students, and 7 undergraduate mental health nursing branch educators across four nursing education centres in northern England. Member checking at descriptive and analytical levels was carried out, and these checks allowed for further exploration with the research participants to take place. Thematic analysis revealed that the primary issue to emerge from participants’ ‘critical incident’ accounts of cultural issues in clinical placements were problems with differentiating psychopathology from culturally validated phenomena. This issue relates to the clinical anthropological concept of the ‘normative uncertainty’ evaluation dilemma (Good and Good, 1986), and was particularly associated with concerns around assessing the clinical significance of service users’ religious beliefs, experiences, or practices.
SCIENCE IN INDIA - A PROFILE BASED ON INDIA'S PUBLICATIONS AS COVERED BY SCIENCE CITATION INDEX 1989-1992

With a view to mapping scientific research in india, we have analysed papers originating in India and indexed in the CD-ROM version of Science Citation Index (SCI) in the four years 1989-1992. With more than 10000 papers in each year (more than 42000 papers in about 2300 journals indexed in SCI in the four years), India is the twelfth largest publishing nation, down from eighth in 1980. Italy, the Netherlands, Australia and spain have published more papers than India in journals indexed in SCI in 1992. Chemistry and physics account for the bulk of the papers, followed by engineering and clinical medicine. India's contribution to areas such as classical biology and agriculture is noy properly reflected in SCI, as many journals in which Indian scientists publish are not covered by SCI. Although most Indian papers appear in low impact journals, the number of papers appearing in leading journals of the world, especially in the areas of physics, chemistry and materials science is increasing, even if only marginally. Also, the number of papres appearing in foreign journals as a whole, as well as the average impact factor of journals in which Indian scientists have published their work, is increasing, reflecting the increasing awareness among Indian scientists for the need to publish in high-impact journals. While the slide from the eighth to the twelfth position - from 2.8% of the world literature to about 2.0% - should be of concern, the increasing use of high impact journals is a welcome trend. In this macrolevel analysis we have looked at India as a whole and have not attempted to analyse the data at lesser levels of aggregation
Use of Social Media in Election Marketing in Bangladesh: Its Impact on Voting Behavior

Purpose: The main purpose of the study is to illustrate the use of social media in election marketing in Bangladesh and to identify how social media is changing voting behavior of voters. Social media marketing involves the use of online social media tools—such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn—to reach voters in innovative ways. In previous years, traditional media play a significant role in creating awareness among people, but over a period of time social media becomes an important marketing tool which not only aware people but also help to attract them in election marketing Methodology: The researchers use ‘Quant-Qual design’ for this research. Related articles, books etc. are reviewed for gathering secondary data. Convenience sampling method has been used to collect primary data from 120 registered voters. Findings: The study has found that social media efficacy within voters create voting awareness and political knowledge and change their mentality towards politics and make them aware about their voting right. The best summary of this research is that social media build a relationship between politicians and people through online campaign that helps to generate public trust for the politicians. Research Limitations: The main limitation of this study is that some of the people are not comfortable to give their comments on this survey because of the political content. It limits the validity of the research. Practical Implications: Study will help both voters and politicians in national election as well as all types of election taking place in any organization like schools, colleges, banks, universities in Bangladesh and all over the world. Originality: The study cites the present situation of using social media in election marketing in Bangladesh. Study also provides guidelines about the future effectiveness of the social media in Bangladeshi election and its impact on voting behavior.
腹部救急疾患に対する Interventional Therapy としての腹腔内膿瘍経皮的ドレナージ

Practical PAIN MANAGEMENT, October 2006 ©2006 PPM Communications, Inc. Reprinted with permission. Americans are more active in sports, at all ages, than ever in our history. Baby boomers, now in their 40’s and 50’s deny the inevitable aging of their bodies in order to keep a youthful intensity to their sports activities. Meanwhile American children are being pushed into high intensity training and new levels of competitiveness at younger ages than ever before. And in the middle, X-treme sports rule. All of these factors are resulting in escalating levels of sports related injuries and pain. New modalities to treat injury and pain are proliferating and now a few “old” modalities are gaining broad audiences in the U.S.
Perimenopausal Women's Intended and Actual Behavioral Response to Bone Health Interventions

The purpose of this longitudinal repeated measures experimental study was to determine the effects of bone health testing using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) on outcomes of intentions toward and actual engagement in bone health behaviors (calcium intake, vitamin D intake, physical activity) among perimenopausal women. The Perimenopausal Bone Health Behaviors Model was developed based on the Theory of Planned Behavior and guided this study to determine how perimenopausal women respond to DXA and bone health information compared to bone health information only. One hundred fifty community-based perimenopausal women (ages 35-55) were randomly assigned to an intervention group (n=75 DXA and bone health information) or to a comparison group (n=75 bone health information). Baseline demographic data were collected. The Prevention Intentions Questionnaire and Behaviors Questionnaire were administered at baseline, at two weeks, and at two months after both groups received assigned interventions. Results showed 32% (n = 24) of intervention group women had low bone density. The intervention of DXA and bone health information showed near-significance (p = .068) over the intervention of bone health information alone in affecting women‟s intentions, and showed near-significance in affecting calcium intake (p = .052). Lower bone density test scores were related to higher intentions (r(74) = -. 23, p = . 046) at two weeks after DXA and bone health information, and were related to improved vitamin D intake (r(73) = -. 25, p = . 03) at two months after DXA and bone health information. At study end, Attitudes contributed 27.0% of the variance in Intentions among women who
Adolescent Alcohol Use Patterns From 25 European Countries

This study’s purpose is to describe European adolescents’ alcohol use patterns by grouping adolescents regarding their current alcohol use by cluster analysis (CA). Discriminant and latent profile analyses (LPA) evaluate and validate the solution that will be described further by ANOVAs. From 25 European countries, 57,771 students (49.4% male, 13.87 years) are grouped using hierarchical and k-means clustering. Alcohol use is measured by frequency of drinking occasions during the previous month and number of beverages consumed on the last drinking occasion. CA suggests four drinking patterns: mild (73.6%), episodic (20.0%), frequent (3.8%), and heavy episodic use (2.5%). Discriminant analysis attests a classification reliability of 94%, and confirmatory LPA replicates the cluster solution with a satisfying model fit. Three of the found patterns fulfill criteria for heavy drinking and underline the importance of individualized indicated prevention by promoting responsible use.
Alteraciones periféricas y centrales en la respuesta inflamatoria en un modelo de autismo en ratón

El autismo es un desorden severo del desarrollo neural que se encuentra principalmente caracterizado por un impedimento sostenido en la interaccion social, habilidades comunicativas reducidas y por patrones de comportamiento estereotipados o restrictivos. Existen cada vez mas evidencias clinicas y experimentales que relacionan alteraciones en el sistema inmune con la patogenesis del desorden de espectro autista (DEA). Los individuos autistas muestran en diversas etapas de su desarrollo signos de neuroinflamacion, respuestas inflamatorias alteradas y anormalidades inmunes. El objetivo general de esta tesis fue el de estudiar el rol que juega la respuesta inflamatoria/glial del sistema nervioso central en la manifestacion de comportamientos relacionados con el autismo. A tal fin utilizamos ratones expuestos en la prenez a 600 mg/kg de acido valproico (VPA600), los cuales muestran deficiencias en la interaccion social y han sido propuestos como un posible modelo de autismo. En este trabajo no solo confirmamos el fenotipo en una filial 1 (F1) de dos cepas endocriadas de raton, sino que extendimos el analisis conductual describiendo que los animales expuestos a VPA muestran niveles aumentados de comportamientos relacionados con la ansiedad. Evaluamos en estos animales la respuesta periferica y central a un estimulo inflamatorio, asi como el estado basal de activacion glial. Evidenciamos signos de activacion glial cronica tanto en el hipocampo como en el cerebelo de los animales VPA600, asi como una respuesta exacerbada al ser expuestos a un estimulo inflamatorio periferico (lipopolisacarido intraperitoneal, LPS): los animales VPA600 muestran niveles mas altos de corticosterona en sangre y un aumento en los niveles de expresion de citoquinas pro-inflamatorias en el bazo respecto de animales control. Sumado a esto, luego del estimulo con LPS los VPA600 muestran signos de neuroinflamacion: tienen mayor numero de celulas de la microglia en el hipocampo y exhiben mayores niveles de citoquinas pro-inflamatorias en el cerebelo. A fin de evaluar la posible relacion causal entre la neuroinflamacion observada en el cerebro adulto de los animales expuestos a VPA y la disminucion en la interaccion social, inyectamos LPS directamente en el lobulillo VI-VII del cerebelo. Al evaluar el comportamiento a las 24 horas, observamos una disminucion en la interaccion social, acompanada de una marcada neuroinflamacion. Los resultados que se presentan demuestran, por un lado, una neuroinflamacion basal y una respuesta inflamatoria alterada en el modelo VPA de autismo y, por otro, sugieren que la inflamacion en una region especifica del cerebelo puede modular los niveles de interaccion social. Teniendo ambas cosas en cuenta, proponemos a este modelo como una herramienta util para evaluar la contribucion de la inflamacion al desarrollo de los comportamientos relacionados con el autismo. Consideramos que estos estudios contribuiran a dilucidar el rol de las desregulaciones inflamatorias observadas en individuos con ASD.
Interferon-? in Multiple Myeloma

Biological heterogeneity is a characteristic of multiple myeloma. A dysregulated cytokine network underlies the various phases of the disease. Numerous cytokines, either promoting or inhibiting plasma cell growth, are involved in tumor control. Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) showed the most powerful inhibiting activity on myeloma cell proliferation. This effect was demonstrated on IL-6 dependent myeloma cell lines, but not on IL-6 independent ones. It was also evident on fresh explanted bone marrow myeloma cells. The antiproliferative effect of IFN-γ seems mainly due to the inhibition of IL-6, the central myeloma growth factor. IL-6 inhibition may occur at various levels: a downregulation of IL-6 receptor has been reported, and also a block of the IL-6 signal trasduction pathway via interaction with cytoplasmic proteins such as p91 has been suggested. Our findings showed that IFN-γ strongly inhibited myeloma cell proliferation to the same extent as dexamethasone (DEX), whereas interferonce (IFN-α) inhibited Ig secr.
PENGARUH KUALITAS PELAYANAN TERHADAP LOYALITAS PELANGGAN MELALUI KEPUASAN KONSUMEN SEBAGAI VARIABEL INTERVENING

In this era of globalization, the activity and mobility of the community has become increasingly rapid, hence the means of transportation is a part that is very much needed by the community in daily life. This opportunity causes competition among companies engaged in transportation services to attract consumers and retain consumers with the marketing strategies that they implement. One of the transportation services companies in Indonesia is PT Kereta Api Indonesia and one of the fleets owned is the Kaligung Train The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Service Quality (X), on Customer Loyalty (Y) through customer Satisfaction (Z) (study on passengers of PT KAI DAOP IV Semarang Kaligung Train). This type of research is explanatory research. The number of samples taken was 100 respondents, who were passengers of the Kaligung train. The sampling technique uses purposive technique and accidental sampling. In analyzing the data using validity, reliability, cross tabulation, correlation coefficient, determination coefficient, simple linear regression analysis and t test using SPSS 21.0 for Windows software
THE ANALYSIS OF USER'S INTENTION IN USING MOBILE PAYMENT: A CASE OF YAP!

This study discusses the acceptance of mobile payment in Indonesia using the case study of mobile payment YAP. The model used in the research is TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) and the analysis process uses SEM-PLS (Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square). This research is a quantitative research by using analysis of primary data in the form of questionnaires distributed to all of YAP users. The results of the study show that a person's main factor in using the YAP mobile payment services is influenced by one's experience in using mobile payment services (at least toward using) and social influence from other person (perceived social influence). The expected experience is supported by the perception of benefits from the mobile payment services. This perception of benefits is influenced by the level of ease and degree of conformity of a person's habits in making payment transactions. This can be used by mobile payment service providers to create services with applications that are easy to use, convenient, and have the power of interest for users such as giving a gimmick to certain payment transactions.
THE CANADIAN JOURNAL OF NEUROLOGICALSCIENCES

380 general morphological, physiological features of skeletal muscle and its general pathological reactions. In addition to discussions of biopsy handling and staining techniques, there is also a brief section illustrating common histological and ultrastructural artifacts. The remainder of the chapters in this section illustrate and discuss the normal and abnormal cellular and subcellular components of skeletal muscle in some detail. The second major section describes the pathology of skeletal muscle on a disease-by-disease basis. The division of the text into two sections has an invaluable didactic advantage for the diagnostician. Muscle diseases rarely have pathognomonic single abnormalities, and usually it is a suite of abnormalities that points to the disease in question. The initial discussion of abnormalities on a structure-by-structure basis is therefore useful in shaping the differential diagnosis and guiding discussion with the referring clinician. Where a disease is defined by a single morphological feature (e.g. myopathy with cylindrical spirals) there is occasionally some redundancy. The discussion is skeptical in tone but insightful. I sometimes found myself wishing for more discussion of the molecular aspects of some disease entities, but in general the text is concise, and the references carefully chosen. There is considerable historical depth in some areas as well: these features strongly and positively reflect on the clinical experience of both authors. Probably the strongest feature of the book is the wealth of superb illustrations of ultrastructural and light microscopic features. There are over 100 beautifully printed color plates, and over 600 black and white photographs. These are carefully and liberally distributed throughout the text. The variety and quality of these illustrations alone ensure that this book will remain an important diagnostic guide for some time to come. I would recommend this reference to anyone interested in morphological aspects of skeletal muscle disease, whether resident, fellow or practicing clinician.

Detecting the mechanisms of longitudinal salt transport during spring tides in Qiantang Estuary

ABSTRACT Saltwater intrusion has immediate influences on the water resources utilization, aquatic environment and ecological system. Hence, it is essential to detect the mechanisms of salt transport. This study adopted observations including instantaneous flow velocities, tide levels and salinity during 10 tide cycles at 2 stations in upstream and downstream of Qiantang Estuary in China. The variables of instantaneous flow velocity and salinity were decomposed into the time-average, time-varying and vertical-varying components using the flux decomposition model. Then, the salt flux components attributed to various physical processes were quantified. During spring tides, the longitudinal salt transport is controlled by advection transport and tidal pumping transport in the upper river reaches, while being mainly controlled by advection transport in the lower river reaches. The net water flow fluxes and salt fluxes are landward in the lower river reaches. However, the transport direction of the salt fluxes is inconsistent with that of the net water flow fluxes in the upper river reaches, where the net water flow fluxes are mainly seaward while the net salt fluxes are mainly landward. In general, there are significant positive correlations between the net landward salt flux and the tidal range. Thus, the tidal range can be used as an important indicator for determining the required amount of freshwater to be discharged from the reservoir in order to resist saltwater intrusion. The vertical distribution of salt in Qiantang Estuary is relatively uniform. The vertical shear force has limited influence on the salt transport. The research results are expected to supply a reference to future research on other macro-tide estuaries.
Identifying polycentricism: a review of concepts and research challenges

ABSTRACT Assessment of polycentricism is one approach to understand the process of urban expansion and its structural changes. The assessment is important to provide knowledge as a basis for future planning and policy. This review article structures the existing concepts of polycentricism, examines the methodologies applied for polycentricism assessment at different spatial scales and across world regions. Based on this, it identifies future research challenges. The review shows that studies of polycentricism have been conducted primarily in cities across the more developed world regions while in the developing world regions, fewer studies are available and only began to emerge in the 1990s, two decades later than the West. The reviewed studies use employment distribution and travel behavior as the primary sources of data. To compensate for the lack of well-documented employment distribution and mobility data, more diverse indicators and sophisticated digital-based approaches have been applied in the latest studies that focus on cities in developing world regions. The reviewed studies demonstrate for the examined cases a general shift towards polycentric development. While in the more developed world regions polycentricism is influenced by employment decentralization, in the developing world regions this phenomenon is influenced by market forces and spatial planning policies.
On the Behaviour of 316 and 304 Stainless Steel under Multiaxial Fatigue Loading: Application of the Critical Plane Approach

In this work, the multiaxial fatigue behaviour of 316 and 304 stainless steel was studied. The study was based on the critical plane approach which is based on observations that cracks tend to nucleate and grow in specific planes. Three different critical plane models were employed to this end, namely Fatemi–Socie (FS), Smith–Watson–Topper (SWT) and the newly proposed Sandip–Kallmeyer–Smith (SKS) model. The study allowed equi-biaxial stress state, mean strain and non–proportional hardening effects to be taken into consideration. Experimental tests including different combinations of tension, torsion and inner pressure were performed and were useful to identify the predominant failure mode for the two materials. The results also showed that the SKS damage parameter returned more conservative results than FS with lower scatter level in both materials, with prediction values between FS and SWT.
Replication is more efficient than you think

This paper revisits replication coupled with checkpointing for fail-stop errors. Replication enables the application to survive many fail-stop errors, thereby allowing for longer checkpointing periods. Previously published works use replication with the no-restart strategy, which works as follows: (i) compute the application Mean Time To Interruption (MTTI) M as a function of the number of processor pairs and the individual processor Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF); (ii) use checkpointing period [EQUATION] à la Young/Daly, where C is the checkpoint duration; and (iii) never restart failed processors until the application crashes. We introduce the restart strategy where failed processors are restarted after each checkpoint. We compute the optimal checkpointing period [EQUATION] for this strategy, which is much larger than [EQUATION], thereby decreasing I/O pressure. We show through simulations that using [EQUATION] and the restart strategy, instead of [EQUATION] and the usual no-restart strategy, significantly decreases the overhead induced by replication.
