Professionalism and Its Predictors among Nurses Working in Jimma Zone PublicHospitals, South West Ethiopia

Professionalism is a conceptualization of obligations, attributes, interactions, attitudes, and role behaviors required for professionals in relationship to individual clients and to society as a whole or it is the conduct, aims or qualities that define a profession or a professional person [2-5]. The attributes of Professionalism include knowledge, spirit of inquiry, accountability, autonomy, advocacy, innovation and visionary, collaboration and collegiality, and ethics [6].
Phylogenetic inference identifies two eumetazoan TRPM clades and an 8th family of TRP channel, TRP soromelastatin (TRPS)

TRP melastatins (TRPMs) are most well-known as cold and menthol sensors, but are in fact broadly critical for life, from ion homeostasis to reproduction. Yet the evolutionary relationship between TRPM channels remains largely unresolved, particularly with respect to the placement of several highly divergent members. To characterize the evolution of TRPM and like channels, we performed a large-scale phylogenetic analysis of >1,300 TRPM-like sequences from 14 phyla (Annelida, Arthropoda, Brachiopoda, Chordata, Cnidaria, Echinodermata, Hemichordata, Mollusca, Nematoda, Nemertea, Phoronida, Priapulida, Tardigrada, and Xenacoelomorpha), including sequences from a variety of recently sequenced genomes that fill what would otherwise be substantial taxonomic gaps. These findings suggest: (1) The previously recognized TRPM family is in fact two distinct families, including canonical TRPM channels, and an 8th major, previously undescribed family of animal TRP channel, TRP soromelastatin (TRPS); (2) two TRPM clades predate the last bilaterian-cnidarian ancestor; and (3) the vertebrate-centric trend of categorizing TRPM channels as 1-8 is inappropriate for most phyla, including other chordates.
Fluctuating child–staff ratio: governing by numbers in finnish early childhood education

ABSTRACT This article explores the deployment of numerical criteria in the practices of steering by presenting a local case of governing early childhood education (ECE). In this case, a specific numerical tool for governance, namely, child–staff ratio is used in various ways in the everyday life of preschools. This paper uses data from interviews of preschool teachers and city administrators in charge of organization of ECE in one Finnish municipality and policy documents. The concepts of assemblage are used to explore how child–staff ratio receives various roles in steering the everyday life of preschools. The paper also explores the roles of teachers in the policy assemblages related to child–staff ratio. Focusing on these local-level practices, the article demonstrates that teachers are central components of the fluctuating ECE policy assemblages that involve governing by numbers.
Evolving trends in percutaneous coronary intervention

We aimed to assess, first, the change in demographics of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) over a 9-year period at a tertiary cardiac centre within the UK and, second, whether there has been a change in outcome for these patients in terms of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). A retrospective review of registry data on patients who underwent PCI at our institute from 2000–2008 was undertaken. Patients were divided into three groups according to when they underwent PCI: Group A 2000–2002, Group B 2003–2005 and Group C 2006–2008. Demographic data were collected along with the nature of coronary disease treated and MACCE rates.
Online Control and Near-Optimal Algorithm for Distributed Energy Storage Sharing in Smart Grid

This paper proposes an online control approach for real-time energy management of distributed energy storage (ES) sharing. A new ES sharing scenario is considered, in which the capacities of physical ESs (PESs) are reallocated to users, so that each user manages its own virtual ES (VES) without knowing detailed operations of the PESs. To optimize the ES sharing system in real time, an online algorithm is developed based on Lyapunov optimization framework. The advantage of the online algorithm is that it makes decisions only based on the realization of current system states, without having to predict future uncertain system states such as electricity price, user load, and renewable generation. In performance analysis, it is proven that the online solution is feasible and has a provable performance guarantee. Based on the analysis, an approach for optimal offline parameter selection is proposed to guarantee the online control performance. For practical need of privacy protection, a distributed implementation of the online control is proposed via alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). In the distributed implementation, users are allowed to manage their VESs locally without sending their private data to anyone. In simulation, actual real-time data of electricity price, home load, and home renewable generation is used. Results show that the proposed distributed online control approach can provide a near-optimal solution, compared with other benchmarks.
Linking Metrics to Objectives: Retirement Saving, Spending, and Active Management

Although financial advisors and institutions are increasingly urged to adopt objectives or goals-based investment strategies, there is a need to more clearly define what is meant by investment objectives and their effects on outcomes. In a controlled modeling experiment, the author formalizes two investor personas (Accumulator and Decumulator) and two investment strategies (Target Cash Flows and Target Wealth) to provide a deeper understanding of the effects on investor “success” or “failure. ” In addition, applying characteristics that are potentially available in actively managed funds, such as differences in investments in terms of beta, alpha, and sequence of returns, enables the demonstration of several surprising effects, including changes in the distribution of investment returns and, of importance, the trajectory of investor outcomes in an objectives-based framework. TOPICS: Retirement, style investing, wealth management Key Findings • The sequence of investor returns is a surprisingly large determinant of outcomes, matching the effects of asset allocation. • There is a premium to flexibility in goal-oriented cash flows; an adaptive approach may increase the chances of meeting a goal. • Too little attention has been given to the importance of actively managed investment strategies in reducing the risk of meeting an objective.
Black/white mixed-race experiences of race and racism in Poland

ABSTRACT Whilst literature on race and ethnicity in Poland is growing, it has yet to fully grapple with the diverse range of racial identities in Poland. Simultaneously, despite calls for Critical Mixed Race Studies (CMRS) to develop into a more global field, there remains a paucity of literature focusing on racial mixedness in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), and no substantive consideration of the lived experiences of mixed-race people in Poland. Taking these absences as our entry point, we bring Critical Mixed Race Studies into conversation with pieces of literature on race and ethnicity in Poland in order to extend the theoretical and empirical terrain of both fields. Drawing upon data from interviews conducted with black/white mixed-race people in Poland, this article casts light on the lives of this nascent group, and specifically on their experiences of racism and exclusion in a society imagined as homogenously white.
Mortality in childhood-onset type 1 diabetes

It is well-recognized that diabetes-related complications are the leading cause of the still increased morbidity and mortality from diabetes and exert a heavy economic burden on society. The discovery of insulin led to a dramatic change in life expectancy of patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Furthermore, it caused a major shift in the distribution of causes of death - from diabetic coma in the pre-insulin era, to long-term complications being the predominant causes of death nowadays. The aim of the present review is to assess the trends in the absolute and the relative mortality rates as well as the leading causes of death among patients with childhood-onset (< 18 years) T1D in populations from different latitudes. It is also observed how disease duration, age at diagnosis, and year of diagnosis affect these mortality trends. Eight population-based studies published in English in the last 14 years, as well as another one, published in 2001, with different duration of follow-up, are included in the review. However, it is hard to compare different populations due to the dissimilarities in the study methods and the characteristics of the examined cohorts.

A long term chronic fibrotic adhesion of elbow muscles alleviated by applying hivamat 200 deep oscillation therapy

Deep Oscillation® clinically is good for reducing fibrosis and scar tissues. A male, age 75, has had a painful and weakened right elbow for 35 years, which was diagnosed to be fibrotic adhesion with musculi extensor capri ulnaris and extensor digitorum communis at the right elbow. HIVAMAT® 200 (Physiomed Electromedizin AG, Germany) was applied five times a week at frequency=40 Hz; modes =5, pulse time =3, pause time=1; each treatment for 12 min; and duration of treatment = 45 days (still going). The physiological data were greatly improved: elbow strength (initial vs. post-treatment) 05.kg vs. 2.5 kg; shaking frequency, 1/15 min vs. 1/32 min; interior bending (degreeo), 45o vs. 30o; pronation (degreeo), 70o vs. 102o; adhesion relaxing sound ‘Kachi! ’, big vs. lower; midnight pain, always vs. disappeared. Conclusively, HIVAMAT® 200 is good for the soft tissue pains or chronic inflammation that are not treatable by means of common physical therapy.
INFLUENCE OF CANCER SEVERITY AND FUNCTIONAL STATUS OF CANCER ON CARDIAC PARASYMPATHETIC INDICATORS

Â Objective: To investigate the influence of cancer severity and functional status of cancer patients on cardiac parasympathetic indicators. Methods: A total of 267 patients with a fresh clinical diagnosis of solid malignant tumor not yet put on cancer therapy and 250 controls matched for age, sex of study subjects were included. Severity of cancer was defined based on the American Joint Committee on Cancer staging. Accordingly, study subjects were subdivided into early stage (Stage I and II combined) and advanced stage (Stage III and IV combined). In cancer patients, the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score and the Faces Pain Scale score (FPS) was noted. Two indicators of vagal function, expiratory:inspiratory ratio (E:I ratio) and root mean square of successive N-N interval difference (r-MSSD) were included. E:I ratio during deep breathing at six respiratory cycles/minute and r-MSSD at rest was obtained from 1 minute lead II electrocardiogram. Data were analyzed by applying suitable statistical tests. pâ‰¤0.05 was considered significant. Results: R-MSSD and E:I ratio was significantly reduced in the early and advanced stage of cancer compared to controls (pâ‰¤0.0001). r-MSSD and E:I ratio was significantly reduced in advanced stage compared to the early stage of cancer (pâ‰¤0.0001). r-MSSD and E:I ratio was significantly different in subgroups of stages of cancer and controls (pâ‰¤0.0001). In cancer patients, r-MSSD was negatively correlated with ECOG and FPS score (pâ‰¤0.0278, pâ‰¤0.0100). Conclusion: Severity of cancer affects vagal function. However, r-MSSD alone was associated with functional status (ECOG, FPS) of cancer patients.
Self-Calibrated Absolute Thickness Measurement of Opaque Specimen Based on Differential White Light Interferometry

In this article, we present a self-calibrated absolute thickness measurement method for opaque specimens based on fiber-optic white light interferometry. A new type of self-reference probe, which is composed of a fiber ferrule, an integrated beam splitter, and a gradient index lens, is presented. In our setup, two probes of this kind are fixed facing each other, and the distance between them can be measured. Then we insert a specimen between the probes and measure the distance between the specimen surfaces and probes on both sides. This way, a self-calibrated measurement of specimen thickness can be realized without the traditional calibration process using a standard thickness sample. Thus, the uncertainty component introduced by the standard thickness sample can be eliminated. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated by measuring standard thickness samples calibrated by the National Institute of Metrology of China, and the results show a good agreement with the nominal values. Also, we analyzed several key uncertainty components, as well as the reliability of our method. The calculated extended measurement uncertainty (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\bf {k} = 2$ </tex-math></inline-formula>) is <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$0.06~\mu \text{m}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> for Cr specimen with a nominal thickness of 10.56, and <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$0.08~\mu \text{m}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> for Ni specimen with a nominal thickness of <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$31.46~\mu \text{m}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>.
Determination of Agronomical Characters as the Resistance Attributes of Twenty Soybean Varieties to Stink Bug (Nezara viridula L.)

The research was conducted to study the agronomical characters as the resistance attributes of twenty soybean varieties to Nezara viridula. The results showed that the twenty soybean varieties had a different response to stink bug infestation. Gepak Kuning, Seulawah, and Sinabung were resistant to stink bug, while Argomulyo were highly susceptible, and Grobogan and Malabar were susceptible. Besides resistance to stink bug, Sinabung also had the highest seed yield (2.95 t/ha). The seed yield of Gepak Kuning and Seulawah were not high, i.e. 2.20 and 1.82 t/ha respectively. The three highly susceptible or susceptible varieties also showed the lowest seed yield, i.e. 0.68 t/ha (Argomulyo), 0.42 t/ha (Grobogan) and 0.99 t/ha (Malabar). The negative correlation was shown between resistance to pest with days to maturity, duration of the reproductive phase, the number of unfilled pods, and weight of 100 seeds. Seed yield also had a negative correlation with duration of reproductive phase and weight of 100 seeds. It indicated that varieties with short duration of reproductive phase and small seed size were preferred by Nezara viridula as food sources. Therefore, these two characters can be used to determine the soybean resistance to Nezara viridula.
Men in Maternity Study: a summary of the findings from pre-intervention interviews with women and their husbands attending antenatal clinics at ESIC facilities in Delhi.

The results of the baseline survey suggest that the women from the control and intervention groups share almost similar individual and background characteristics. A general comparison of male and female data on the same question suggests that men are more likely to give a positive response than women as frequencies for all variables with a yes-no response show higher proportions of men responding yes. Results reinforce the evidence from the literature that the Men in Maternity interventions are addressing issues that are locally relevant. For example the survey suggests that both men and women would like their husbands to be involved in maternity care; that there is an unmet need for postpartum family planning methods; and that more information on sexually transmitted infections and HIV/AIDS is vitally needed. Besides these differences in levels of knowledge and perceptions on most issues between men and women suggests that communication on all these reproductive health issues between spouses should be encouraged. The success of the MiM intervention in meeting the need for reproductive health information and communication to change behaviors on these critical issues will be assessed through a survey of the same population six months after the birth of the child.

Evaluation the efficiency of some controlling methods on olive seedlings infected with root-knot nematodes Meloidogyne spp.

The study was aimed to evaluate different controlling methods and agents including the nematicide Rugby, the bio-agents Trichoderma.harzianum and Trichoderma.atroviride, compost of poultry manure, cows and sheep dung. These agents were compared for their effect on nematode populations and plant growth parameters of olive infected plant. The results revealed that Rugby was the most effective treatment that decreased all measured criteria of nematode infection including gall number / 2 g root, Female number / 2 g root, number of egg masses/2g root and number of males and juveniles/100g soil which recorded 0.33/2g root, 0.33/2g root, 0.33/2g root, 0.00/100g soil respectively. The highest values of some plant growth parameters including plant height, root length, number of branches/plant and leaf area/plant were gained from treated with the poultry manure treatment that resulted in 32.66cm2, 34.00cm2, 22.88g, 7,00 branch/plant and 5.37cm2 respectively. Among all treatments compost of poultry manure, cow dung and sheep dung had increased biochemical indicators of plant health such as percentage of nitrogen content (1.93, 1.93, 1.89)% portion content(12.07, 12.07, 11.8)% and chlorophyll a, b and total chlorophyll content (0.604, 0.503, 0.488), (0.302, 0.258, 0.244), (0.906, 0.671, 0.732) mg/g fresh weight respectively.
QUASICONFORMAL HARMONIC MAPPINGS BETWEEN DOMAINS CONTAINING INFINITY

Assume that $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}$ and $D$ are two domains with compact smooth boundaries in the extended complex plane $\overline{\mathbf{C}}$. We prove that every quasiconformal mapping between $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}$ and $D$ mapping $\infty$ onto itself is bi-Lipschitz continuous with respect to both the Euclidean and Riemannian metrics.
School climate multidimensionality and measurement: a systematic literature review

ABSTRACT School climate refers to individual perceptions of moral, relational and institutional aspects of school life. A growing body of research has confirmed the importance of studying school climate for developing interventions able to reduce problem behaviours and to promote student and teacher wellbeing. However, the literature shows that research in the field meets some challenges, as it is difficult to empirically capture the nature of such a complex and broad construct. In the current work, we build on the results of previous reviews for addressing in particular two main concerns of researchers, namely school climate multidimensionality and measurement. In particular, we present an overview of empirical research carried out from 2010 and on, with the aim of specifically addressing three issues. First, to describe which measures were actually used in the empirical studies. Second, to explore whether Wang and Degol’s (2016) effort to establish a common multidimensional ground was echoed by authors researching in the field. Third, to account for studies that were based on multiple informants and longitudinal data. In the conclusion, we discuss the main limitations in the current literature and suggest areas of future development and intervention.
Development and Validation of Supervision Scale in Phone Consultation in Iran

The purpose of the present research is to develop and validate an instrument for supervision in phone consultation. Literature review and focus group discussion in the first stage led to the extraction of twenty items for the supervision scale. After the initial administration and the group work of the specialized team and upon receiving the feedback, the repetitive and overlapping items were deleted and ten important items were selected. Finally, the instrument was administered on 499 consolers of phone consultation in 19 provinces of Iran, consisted of male and female individuals cooperating in the counselor’s voice. The consolers were trained and assessed by 96 supervisors. The supervisors consisted of male and female supervisors introduced as supervisors by the State Welfare Organization of Iran in different provinces all over the country. This study was conducted in State Welfare Organization of Iran. The exploratory factor analysis on the supervision scale revealed two dimensions: therapeutic alliance and intervention. The result showed the supervision scale was a valid and reliable instrument for assessing the consultation process in the semi-structured model of phone consultation. The finding is in line with previous studies in terms of therapeutic alliance, intervention in the semi-structured model of phone consultation.
Lasers Without Lost Cities: Using Drone Lidar to Capture Architectural Complexity at Kuelap, Amazonas, Peru

ABSTRACT We report the results of drone lidar survey at a high-elevation archaeological site in the Chachapoyas region of Peruvian Amazonia. Unlike traditional airborne remote sensing, drone lidar produces very high-density measurements at a wide range of scan angles by operating at low altitudes and slow flight speeds. These measurements can resolve near vertical surfaces and novel dimensions of variability in architectural datasets. We show in a case study at Kuelap that the number of detected structures almost exactly matches the number reported from previous ground level surveys, and we use these data to quantify the relative circularity and size frequency distribution of architectural structures. We demonstrate variability in domestic architecture that was obscured in previous models produced using low-resolution remote sensing. Spatial analysis of these attributes produces new hypotheses about the site’s construction history and social organization.
Microwave-assisted hydrothermal growth of ZnO micro-nano structures

Various methods have been introduced to synthesize ZnO nanostructures, however as in most nanomaterial fabrication processes, these methods require sophisticated equipment and relatively high cost. Hydrothermal method has been known as a simple and inexpensive route to produce ZnO nanostructures. Unfortunately, this method takes a long production time in order to produce high quality ZnO hence making it less efficient. In this study, ZnO micro-nano structures have been successfully synthesized via a fast and low wattage microwave-assisted hydrothermal growth. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope characterizations were done on samples. The rapid heating process generated from rotation, friction and collisions of water molecules inside the microwave resulted in faster reaction process compared with conventional hydrothermal method. Due to its time and cost efficient, this method is useful for optimizing the resulted ZnO and its further applications.
