Interaction Between The Ideal Self, Motivation, Academic Goals and Academic Adaptation Towards The Nurse Graduation of Competency Test

Nurse competency test passing rate in Indonesia is still below expectations. There is a correlation between GPA at graduation index. However, there is a similar trend between graduation with underachievement and failure indices with higher GPA. It requires a separate study in addition to the theory and practice of academic ability, need to review internal factors themselves students. This study aimed to analyze the influence of the ideal self, motivation, goal, ability, academic performance and adaptation of learning on nursing graduation of competency test, using a cross sectional design on a number of 119 new graduates of nursing students from two universities in Makassar, Indonesia during July-November 2017. Samples were selected by systematic random sampling. Variable observed were ideal self, academic goals, motivation, learning adaptation, academic ability, and competency test graduation. Bivariate analysis were Pearson correlation and Spearman correlation and the multivariate analysis were Logistic regression and Linear regression. The results showed that the ideal self had a positive correlation with academic goals (rs = 0.240, p = 0.008) and motivation (rs = 0.211, p = 0.021). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that motivation (p = 0.019) and academic purposes (p = 0.000) had a significant influence on learning adaptation. Multiple logistic regression test showed that the learning adaptation (p = 0.037), and the academic ability in theory (p = 0.024) had a significant effect on the graduation of competency test. Graduates nurses must have a corresponding ideal self to improve motivation. Motivation directing and encouraging learning behaviors that affect graduation of competency test. Academic goal setting directs graduates to adapt the learning process. Competence of graduates is not enough with just a written test that predicted by the theory of academic ability, but needs to be equipped with a practice test. Keywords: Ideal self, Academic goals, Learning adaptation, Academic ability in theory and practice, Competency test.
The migration map trap. On the invasion arrows in the cartography of migration

ABSTRACT How is undocumented migration typically mapped in contemporary cartography? To answer this question, we conduct an iconological dissection of what could be seen as the epitome of the cartography on undocumented migration, the map made by Frontex – the EU’s border agency. We find that, rather than a scientific depiction of a migratory phenomenon, its cartography peddles a crude distortion of undocumented migration that smoothly splices into the xenophobic tradition of propaganda cartography – and stands in full confrontation with contemporary geographical scholarship. We conclude with an urgent appeal for more scientifically robust, critical and decidedly more creative cartographies of migration.
The Australian Marriage Equality Debate: A Qualitative Analysis of the Self-Reported Lived Experience of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex, and Queer (LGBTIQ) People

This study explored the lived experiences of a sample of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and queer (LGBTIQ) people during the Australian Government postal survey on legal recognition of same-sex marriage (August to November 2017). Negative impacts of public voting and debates on marriage equality for LGBTIQ people have been previously documented in United States, but less so in other national contexts. Thematic analysis was conducted using written responses of LGBTIQ participants ( N = 5,313) to open-ended questions on a larger survey. Findings revealed that LGBTIQ participants experienced the Australian Marriage Law Postal Survey debate as a pervasive and predominantly negative event. Participants reported experiences of prejudice and discrimination and increased fear, anxiety, anger, and depression. They also described the harm and hurt caused by widespread negative images of and messages about LGBTIQ people. Some participants felt their lives were under threat and reported psychological distress, including thoughts of suicide. Although a few participants noted positive support that helped them cope, most participants perceived the debate and vote as a highly stressful, socially fracturing process that threatened interpersonal relationships with family members, workmates, and communities. Many participants described feeling betrayed by the government, country, and Church. These findings extend previous studies that document the public health impacts of political processes that publicly debate the human rights of LGBTIQ individuals.
Immigration and Politics in the New Europe: Index

Closing Act: The fate of a congressman from Youngstown [Ohio] depends on decisions taken in Brussels or Tokyo. The tradeoff for price stability in Hamburg may be unemployment in Harlem. In such predicaments, governments and politicians must choose some mix of two broad strategies: one nationalist, one internationalist. They may try to regain control over their own destiny by reerecting barriers. Or they may seek instead to cooperate in an effort to manage politically. Robert Putnam and Nicholas Bayne, in Hanging Together (1987: 3) If the preceding analysis on immigration norms has proved anything, it is that efforts to create a common regime in Europe may take several forms. Nationalist and internationalist impulses within the European Union may be more compatible than traditional assumptions about cooperation have suggested. Too often, the policy discourse on globalization or European integration ignores the restrictive nature of cooperation that allows nations to remain protectionist – especially with regard to issues that are emblematic of their national sovereignty and identity. Perceptive immigration scholars have noted the trend toward restrictivism since the 1990s, yet the momentum toward Europeanization belies this phenomenon, and therefore the general point bears repeating. Increasingly, progress in European integration is accompanied by a reinvention of borders that can be understood only by examining the norms and attitudes that underpin immigration policy.
KNOWLEDGE AND AWARENESS ON HIV/AIDS OF SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TOWARDS AN ENHANCED REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH EDUCATION PROGRAM

The study determined the levels of knowledge and awareness on HIV/AIDS of 369 senior high school students of Los Banos Laguna, Philippines, towards an Enhanced Reproductive Health Education Program using an adopted and modified questionnaire from the research study of Marc Lester Quintana in 2018. The results were: high level of knowledge on HIV/AIDS in terms of transmission, prevention and protection; high level of awareness about the effects of HIV/AIDS in terms of physical, psychological, socio-economic and spiritual; there is a significant relationship between the levels of knowledge and awareness about the effects of HIV/AIDS. It was recommended that: senior high school students to become more knowledgeable and updated about HIV/AIDS; they should participate in activities in school in partnership with their educators and school administrators for the implementation of the Enhanced Reproductive Health Program, as permitted by their parents; and lastly future researchers to use this study and its output as a reference for similar future endeavors.
Grades, Behavior, and Engagement of Adolescents with Disabilities: An Examination of Social Relationships among Students, Parents, and Teachers.

Parent engagement has been extensively studied, but more information is needed on how teacher–parent relationships vary for adolescents with different disabilities, varying socioeconomic backgrounds, and racial/ethnic backgrounds. This study investigates associations between teacher–parent relationships, teacher–student relationships, student’s disability, socioeconomic status, racial/ethnic backgrounds, and school performance among 228 high school students. Cross-sectional data were gathered through student and teacher reports. Findings from correlational analyses reveal associations between (a) teacher–student and teacher–parent relationships, (b) teacher–parent relationships and students’ disability type and socioeconomic status, and (c) teacher–parent relationships and students’ grades, behavior, and engagement in school. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
The information about human evolution: An analysis of news published in Spanish communication media between 2015 and 2017

The present study examines a sample of 220 pieces of news related to human evolution, written in Spanish and published over a period of two years, both in digital and print media. The aim of this study is to assess the rigour and coherence of the information in the news in our sample with the scientific knowledge on the Theory of Evolution. To this end, errors and the incorrect use of concepts related to Biological Evolution are identified; classified according to criteria resulting from the review of previous studies and finally, the frequency of errors identified in news published in print media is compared with that identified in digital media. The results presented allow us to highlight the significantly high frequency of errors in the news analysed and the most frequent error categories. Results are discussed within the frame of the important role of dissemination of information played by scientific journalism in the processes of knowledge dissemination, in this case, related to human evolution
Predictors of Diagnostic Efficacy of Tagged White Blood Cell Scans in the Evaluation of Occult Infection

BackgroundTagged white blood cell scans (TWBCSs) are often used to identify sources of occult infection; however, the use of this diagnostic test is unclear. MethodsWe reviewed clinical cases in which TWBCSs were obtained to help identify the source of infection, assessing whether the results yielded new information and/or altered clinical management. We identified the records of 64 adult patients who underwent 68 TWBCSs during a 2-year period. ResultsClinical features included fever (51.5%), leukocytosis (64.1%), and persistently positive blood cultures (52.2%). The results of 10 (14.7%) of the 68 scans impacted the patient’s management plan; most of these scans were among patients with persistently positive blood cultures (8/10, 80%). ConclusionsIn this small retrospective series, neither fever nor leukocytosis predicted an abnormal TWBCS result. Patients with persistently positive blood cultures were the most likely to have clinical management altered by TWBCS results.

The Role of Foreign-Born Workers in the U.S. Economy.

Abraham T. Mosisa is an economist in the Division of Labor Force Statistics, Bureau of Labor Statistics. E-mail: Mosisa_A@bls.gov As the 21st century begins, the ethnic and racial composition of the U.S. workforce continues to diversify at a rapid pace. Much of that change reflects an expansion in the share of foreign-born workers, from about 1 in 17 in 1960 to 1 in 8 workers today.1 Additionally, the geographic areas of origin of those workers have shifted. In 1960, about 3 in 4 of the foreign born had come from Europe; today, that proportion is less than 1 in 6, largely reflecting the influx of immigrants from Latin America and Asia. The large increase in the number of foreign-born workers, which has occurred in recent years, has contributed to the U.S. labor force expansion during that period. Between 1996 and 2000, the foreign born constituted nearly half of the net labor force increase.2 This article first reviews the history of immigration, focusing on the changing national origins of the foreign born; then, it presents a comparison of labor force characteristics of the foreign-born population with those of the native-born population; and finally, discusses the role of the foreign born in regards to the labor force growth that occurred between 1996 and 2000.3 In this article, contrary to the customary BLS practice of counting Hispanics (an ethnic group) as part of the race category to which they belong, Hispanics are not included in the estimates for whites, blacks, and Asians, but, instead, are shown separately.4 This was done because currently Hispanics constitute a large proportion of the foreign born, and they have distinctive characteristics, which will be outlined further throughout this article. Hence, if they were included in the estimates for the major race group, clear-cut comparisons of employment characteristics among the groups would be difficult to make. The data used in this study are primarily from the Current Population Survey (CPS), the monthly survey of about 60,000 households conducted by the Bureau of the Census for the Bureau of Labor Statistics.5
Comparison between conventional haemorrhoidectomy and stapler haemorrhoidopexy

Background: To make comparison between Stapled haemorrhoidopexy and conventional haemorrhoidectomy in terms of operating time, postoperative pain and bleeding and other complications, hospital stay and time to return to work. Methods: It is prospective study including 45 patients divided into two groups, first group consists of 25 patients of having conventional (open and closed) haemorrhoidectomy and other group consists of 20 patients having stapler haemorrhoidopexy carried out in Gandhi medical college associated Hamidia Hospital, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India. Results: The duration of surgery was 45 minutes in conventional group and 40 minutes for stapler haemorrhoidectomy. The average duration of hospital stay for the stapled group was 3 days and for the conventional group it was 6 days. The average time to return to work in the stapled group was 10 days as against 20 days in the conventional group. There is considerable decrease in pain in stapler group both in immediate post-operative and during follow up in comparison to conventional group. There is less complains of bleeding episodes in stapler group having nearly half of the patients having bleeding episodes in comparison to conventional group. There is no significant difference in recurrence rate between two groups. Conclusions: We conclude that stapled haemorrhoidopexy is associated with less postoperative pain and morbidity than conventional techniques. Staplerhaemorrhoidopexy has decreased operating time, hospital stay and duration of return to work as compared to conventional haemorrhoidectomy. There is no significant difference found in terms of recurrence in both the procedures. So stapler haemorrhoidopexy is better procedure in treatment of grade II and grade III haemorrhoid in comparison to conventional haemorrhoidectomy.
Pharmacotherapeutic follow-up in oncology

Background Morbidity and mortality associated with the use of medicines is a great problem of public health. The pharmacist has a key role in detection, preventing and resolving drug-related problems (DRP). This is even more important in the case of cancer patients, where the high number of treatment protocols and the extensive supportive therapy increases the number of drugs used. This particular setting is a challenge to the clinical pharmacist. Purpose Analysis and characterisation of pharmacotherapeutic follow-up and pharmacist interventions in oncology patients. Materials and methods Retrospective study of pharmacotherapeutic follow-up from January to September of 2011, in a central hospital. Results Between January to September of 2011 the team of oncology pharmacists monitored 56 patients (29 males and 26 females) with mean age of 69 years (min.: 33; max.: 93). Colorectal cancer was the most prevalent cancer in the study population, followed by breast and pulmonary cancers. The team monitored 316 drugs (a mean of 5.64 drugs per patient). The follow-up detected 43 DRPs, resulted in 43 pharmaceutical interventions (0.77/patient). The majority of interventions were related to the need to adjust dosages (53.5%), followed by the need to substitute one or more medicines (11.6%) and those related to adverse effects (11.6%), such as emesis protocol optimisation and other supportive treatment. The physicians accepted approximately 79% of pharmacist interventions. Conclusions The results show that cancer patients are one of the groups most at risk of DRPs. The analysis, characterisation and quantification of pharmaceutical interventions performed on the oncology unit are an important step in documenting the activities of hospital pharmacists in this area, enabling them to be measured. The pharmacist interventions stand out as individual contributions throughout the patient's cancer treatment, highlighting the role of the pharmacist as part of the multidisciplinary team.
PRospective Evaluation of Cardiac Decompensation in Patients with Heart Failure by Impedance Cardiography Test: The PREDICT Multicenter Trial

Background: The management of heart failure could be improved if physicians had additional objective measures that could signal disease progression and monitor the efficacy of treatment. Objectives: This study evaluated noninvasive impedance cardiography (ICG) variables in chronic heart failure (HF) patients to determine if they could predict short term risk defined by the composite end point of all-cause death or hospitalization or emergency department (ED) visit due to HF. Methods: We prospectively evaluated 212 patients who had a prior episode of HF decompensation within three months. Baseline variables included age, gender, race, HF etiology, ejection fraction, and medications. Every two weeks for 26 weeks, we collected blinded ICG (BioZ® ICG Monitor) and clinical variables including heart rate (HR), systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP, DBP), patient self-assessment with visual analog score (VAS), New York Heart Association class (NYHA), and weight. Results: During the follow-up period, there were 2,316 study visits. Fifty-nine of 212 patients (27.8%) had 104 HF events (16 deaths, 78 hospitalizations, and 10 ED visits). In visits preceding versus not preceding a HF event ≤ 14 days, there were significant differences in HR, SBP, VAS, NYHA, and 14 of 17 ICG variables. The below median ICG stroke index (33.6 ml/m 2 ) and above median thoracic fluid content (32.1 /kohm) had a 6.46 relative risk (RR) (95% confidence interval [95% CI] 4.48 – 9.04) for a HF event within 14 days versus a patient with an above median stroke index and below median thoracic fluid content. Multivariate regression analysis was performed incorporating all baseline, clinical, and ICG variables as well as changes in clinical variables from the previous visit, and resulted in six independently associated variables to a HF event ≤ 14 days: VAS, NYHA, SBP, and three ICG parameters (velocity index, thoracic fluid content index, left ventricular ejection time). When ICG variables were combined to form a composite ICG score, the ICG score had the strongest association (chi square 13.83, p < 0.0002) with the subsequent occurrence of a HF event, followed by VAS, NYHA, and SBP. Patient visits with a high risk ICG score had an 8.4% HF event rate ≤ 14 days and 8.29 RR (95% CI 5.74 - 11.50) for a HF event versus those with a low risk score.
Analysis of the Productive, Structural, and Dynamic Development of Augmented Reality in Higher Education Research on the Web of Science

Augmented reality is an emerging technology that has gained great relevance thanks to the benefits of its use in learning spaces. The present study focuses on determining the performance and scientific production of augmented reality in higher education (ARHE). A bibliometric methodology for scientific mapping has been used, based on processes of estimation, quantification, analytical tracking, and evaluation of scientific research, taking as its reference the analysis protocols included in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-analyses for Protocols (PRISMA-P) matrix. A total of 552 scientific publications on the Web of Science (WoS) have been analyzed. Our results show that scientific productions on ARHE are not abundant, tracing its beginnings to the year 1997, with its most productive period beginning in 2015. The most abundant studies are communications and articles (generally in English), with a wide thematic variety in which the bibliometric indicators “virtual environments” and “higher education” stand out. The main sources of origin are International Technology, Education and Development Conference (INTED) Proceedings and Education and New Learning Technologies (EDULEARN) Proceedings, although Spanish institutions are the most prolific. In conclusion, studies related to ARHE in the WoS have become increasingly abundant since ARHE’s research inception in 1997 (and especially since 2009), dealing with a wide thematic variety focused on “virtual environments” and “higher education”; abundant manuscripts are written in English (communications and articles) and originate from Spanish institutions. The main limitation of the study is that the results only reveal the status of this issue in the WoS database.
Determining Factors for Delisting of Companies Listed on BM&FBOVESPA*

Traditionally, the capital market has attracted the interest of scholars and researchers, motivated to understand the process of going public and trading securities of companies on a stock exchange. In this research context, an aspect had been neglected, something which indicates a gap in the body of knowledge about the capital market and corporate governance: delisting of companies. We aim to identify the determining factors for delisting companies from the Commodity & Futures Exchange BOVESPA (BM&FBOVESPA). Methodologically, this research has related a set of variables collected from secondary data available on the database of the Securities Commission of Brazil (CVM), BM&FBOVESPA, and Economatica. By analyzing 227 listing cancellations, between 2001 and 2012, the results indicate that delisting of companies from BM&FBOVESPA is determined by the following factors: (i) greater concentration of ownership and control; (ii) lower free float; (iii) lower liquidity of shares; (iv) greater availability of cash; and (v) larger size. The fact that the controlling shareholder is a public or private company determines significant differences in the decision to delist. While in the first case cash availability is the most important factor, in the second liquidity is the main determining factor for delisting. From the academic viewpoint, this research extends the studies on delisting, still incipient in the Brazilian capital market context. For the capital market, identifying the characteristics of companies prone to cancel listing may prevent investors concerned about inherent risks at the time of acquiring shares by the controlling group interested in delisting.
