Animation Video of Eight National Heroes from North Sumatra: Digital Learning Media to Enhance Student Nationality Character

There are eight national heroes from Sumatra namely Sisingamangaraja XII, Ferdinand Lumban Tobing, Zainul Arifin, Tengku Amir Hamzah, Adam Malik, Kiras Bangun, Teuku Mohammad Hasan, and Tahi Bonar Simatupang who have a strong national character to be encouraged and imitated by students of North Sumatra. However, the national character is only contained in a learning textbook that has not been utilized as a digital learning media. For this reason, the animated video of eight National Heroes from North Sumatra is a digital learning media that is appropriate for enhancing the national character of colleger. The research aims to develop an animated video learning media that displays eight national characters of eight national heroes from North Sumatra. This research uses research and development methods. The results showed that this animated video is very interesting to be used as a digital learning media to enhance the national character of students.
Chapter 3: Developing predictors of alcohol use disorder in a chronic alcohol taking rat model with social defeat experience

Alcohol is a highly addictive substance, however, it does not necessarily cause alcohol use disorder (AUD). For instance, individual vulnerability to addiction exists and social stress may affect the severity of AUD. Specific personality traits (related to impulsivity, compulsivity and inability to cope with stress) are important predictors for the severity of AUD in later life. Here, we searched for potential behavioral predictors by first examining the baseline value of four different tests assessing spatial and social interaction before rats were exposed to social stress and alcohol. Long-term social stress was induced by exposing rats to the social defeat-induced persistent stress (SDPS) paradigm after which they had long-term access to alcohol using home cage two-bottle free-choice and operant self-administration paradigms. Using a 5-criteria classification of according to DSM-V, AUD severity was assessed in the control and SDPS-exposed groups. Using these 5-criteria a higher incidence of the AUD phenotype was detected in the SDPS group. Baseline affective behavior, measured as interaction with an adult conspecific (social approach avoidance, SAA), prior to stress exposure was significantly correlated with most AUD criteria and opposite in control and some in SDPS-exposed groups. Furthermore, a low SAA interaction rate correlated with protection from alcohol addiction, whereas exposure to stressful life events increased addictive behavior later on in this group. We conclude that most AUD sub-phenotypes are based on prior genetic and environmental factors that may have shaped the individual’s affective behavior. Subsequent exposure to social stress is able to transform the AUD predictive ability of affective behavior. Disrupted affective behavior might therefore be an interesting parameter in the prediction of developing AUD in humans.
Protein intake in athletes: a review

Abstract The current recommendation of the American College of Sports Medicine for proteins is 1.2–1.7 g/kg/day. This recommended protein intake is actually greater than the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for protein, which is around 0.8 g/kg/day, and is based on several studies that documented increased protein requirement in athletes. Most athletes generally consume more than the recommended protein intake of 1.7 g/kg/day apart from taking amino acid and protein supplements. The current review analyses if the increased protein intake has any beneficial effect on muscle building and performance of athletes, and if there is an optimal time and type of protein for ingestion if this is the case. Studies have shown that high protein intake accentuates renal insufficiency in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We also review if the high protein intake predisposes healthy athletes with normal kidneys and kidney function to any renal problems in the future.
Terror and Tourism: The Economic Consequences of Media Coverage

This paper studies the economic effects of news-coverage of violent events. To do so, we combine monthly aggregated and anonymized credit card data on tourism spending from 114 origin countries and 5 tourist destinations (Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia, Israel and Morocco) with a large corpus of more than 446 thousand newspaper articles covering news on the 5 destination countries from a subset of 57 tourist origin countries. We document that violent events in a destination are followed by sharp spikes in negative reporting at origin and contractions in tourist activity. Media coverage of violence has a large independent effect on tourist spending beyond what can be accounted for by controlling for the incidence of violence. We develop a model in which tourist beliefs, actual violence and media reporting are modelled together. This model allows us to quantify the effect of violent events and reporting.

Perception of Shared Governance and Its Relation to Nurses Empowerment in Benha and Menoufia University Hospitals

Faculty of Nursing, Benha University (0) , and Menoufia University (5) , Cairo, Egypt. E-mail of corresponding author; sohairmabrouk@yahoo,com. Abstract Background: Shared governance is an environment where professional nurses have the legitimate authority to make decisions about practice, standards, policies, and procedures. It's evident that shared governance enhances professional nursing practice, empowerment, communication, professional collaboration, a positive work environment and quality decision making. Aim: The present study aimed to examine the relationship between perception of shared governance and nurses’ empowerment. Methods: Setting: the study was carried out at Benha and Menoufia University hospitals. Research design: A descriptive correlational design was utilized. Sample consisted of 093 nurse managers and staff nurses. Tools: Data were collected through utilizing two tools, the first consists of two parts, the first part was intended to collect demographic characteristics of the study sample, and the second part was the Hess Index of Professional Nursing Governance to assess the nurses’ perceptions of shared governance. The second tool was job empowerment questionnaire to measure level of nurses' job empowerment. Results: Findings showed that the result revealed that the total mean score was 33.9±8.82, indicative of traditional governance. Nurses working in critical care unit and operating room have highest mean scores of shared governance (95.1±5.15 and 90.2±1.85) compared to nurses who are working in other units in Menoufia and Benha University Hospital respectively. There was a significant positive correlation between nurses' perception of shared governance and their overall job empowerment. Conclusion: it was conconclude that, the total mean score on Index professional nursing Governance scale in Benha and Menoufia University Hospitals was indicative of traditional governance and there was a significant positive correlations between total nurses' perception of shared governance and their job empowerment. Recommendations: Top manager should play an important role to support the presence of staff nurses at all levels of decision making that positively affects their job empowerment.
A NEW PARADIGM FOR ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT TEACHING IN UNIVERSITIES

Equipping of students with skills of making thoughtful decisions on environmental issues is one of the fundamental goals of environmental education. However, the scope and the content of environmental management disciplines are not been defined properly as a systematic standard discipline. This implies the discipline is developing faster. Meanwhile, collaborative service learning is a new concept combining both traditional voluntary service with contemporary assignment requirements and standards with strong instructional component. This approach is much relevant to an academic discipline with professional orientation. Further, The Service Learning (SL) approach would open space for training students to develop their skills in application of knowledge into broader community. This study applies the SL approach for data analysis. The study was conducted to compare environmental management study program of UCLAN, UK and RUSL, Sri Lanka and construct a model for improvement of environmental education of undergraduates based on Service Learning approach. Content of the discipline is conceptualized to a form of tree, leaving room for growth in all directions. Both universities have positive and negative situations and possess scope for improvement of the performance through SL approach. The paper also discusses issue on polarized nature in approaches of various stakeholders in higher education. The paper suggests integration of approaches in three types of stakeholders. Introduction of diverse degree programs based on same academic knowledge and differentiated based on professionalism is a satisfactory model for the purpose. SL approach is essential in providing professional skills and student centeredness is essential for both academic and professional courses.
Small-incision open distal subpectoral vs. arthroscopic proximal biceps tenodesis for biceps long head tendon lesions with repair of rotator cuff tears

The curative effect of small-incision open distal subpectoral vs. arthroscopic proximal biceps tenodesis for lesions in the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) combined with rotator cuff repairs (RCR) has remained controversial. The aim of the present study was to compare the two surgical methods. A total of 71 patients who received surgical treatment for LHBT lesions accompanied by RC tears were analyzed. Following arthroscopic RCR and tendectomy of the affected LHBT, 35 patients underwent small-incision open distal subpectoral tenodesis through a small incision (the subpectoral group), while the remaining 36 patients received arthroscopic proximal tenodesis (the arthroscopic group). The surgery time and intra-operative blood loss were compared between the two groups. In addition, the clinical outcomes were evaluated using scoring systems for the functional assessment of the shoulder joint. The subpectoral group had a shorter surgery time and less intra-operative blood loss than the arthroscopic group (P<0.05). The functional scores of the two groups significantly improved as time passed (P<0.05). The subpectoral group was significantly superior to the arthroscopic group with regard to the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score at 2 weeks post-operatively and visual analog scale score at 2 weeks and 3 months post-operatively (P<0.05). Small-incision open distal subpectoral and arthroscopic proximal tenodesis were demonstrated to effectively improve the function of the shoulder joint and relieve pain caused by LHBT lesions accompanied by RCR. However, small-incision open distal subpectoral tenodesis had the additional advantage of shorter surgery time, less intra-operative bleeding and encouraging early results compared to arthroscopic proximal tenodesis. The study was registered as a clinical trial in the Chinese Trial Registry (no. ChiCTR1800015643).
A MODEL OF TEXTBOOK USE

The aim of this paper is twofold. On the one hand it is intended to develop a model of the activity ‘textbook use’ that is of particular interest for research in mathematics education. On the other hand it is supposed to make a contribution to activity theory striving for “transcending the boundary between theory and practice” (Engeström, 1990) by applying activity theory to a particular activity. It appears that in the case of textbook use the triad ‘subject – mediating artefact – object’ as the nucleus of the human activity system does not entirely represent the activity ‘textbook use’. This will raise issues according to the model of the human activity system as suggested by Engeström (1999b).
Impact of Hyperoxia and Hypocapnia on Neurological Outcomes in Patients with Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Retrospective Study

In recent decades, there is increasing evidence suggesting that hyperoxia and hypocapnia are associated with poor outcomes in critically ill patients with cardiac arrest or traumatic brain injury. Yet, the impact of hyperoxia and hypocapnia on neurological outcome in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) has not been well studied. In the present study, we evaluated the impact of hyperoxia and hypocapnia on neurological outcomes in patients with aneurysmal SAH (aSAH). Patients with aSAH who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of a tertiary hospital in Hong Kong between January 2011 and December 2016 were retrospectively recruited. Patients' demographics, comorbidities, radiological findings, clinical grades of SAH, PO2, and PCO2 within 24 hours of ICU admission, and Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) at 3 months after admission were recorded. Patients with a GOS score of 3 or less were considered having poor neurological outcomes. Among the 244 patients with aSAH, 122 of them (50%) had poor neurological outcomes at 3 months. Early hyperoxia (PO2 > 200 mmHg) and hypercapnia (PCO2 > 45 mmHg) were more common among patients with poor neurological outcomes. Logistic regression analysis indicated that hyperoxia independently predicted poor neurological outcomes (OR 3.788, 95% CI 1.131–12.690, P=0.031). Classification tree analysis revealed that hypocapnia was associated with poor neurological outcomes in patients who were less critically ill (APACHE < 50) and without concomitant intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) or intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) (adjusted P=0.006, χ2 = 7.452). These findings suggested that hyperoxia and hypocapnia may be associated with poor neurological outcomes in patients with aSAH.
A Minskian extension to Kaleckian dynamics

Minsky’s financial instability hypothesis (FIH) has been criticized as suffering from a fallacy of composition that violates a central thesis of Kalecki. Nevertheless, Minsky’s description of borrowing and lending behavior is sufficiently compelling that it continues to drive new research. In this paper we propose a modified Kaleckian model in which a behavioral rule captures Minsky’s microeconomic argument that firms and banks increase the leverage of new loans during booms, but which translates through Kaleckian dynamics into a falling debt-to-capital ratio at a macroeconomic level. The expanding loan-to-capital ratio drives a potential instability, but in utilization, rather than debt.
Fair Trade and Wellbeing Improvements: Evidence from Sri Lanka

This paper investigates whether and how Fair Trade certification improves the wellbeing of small-scale producers by drawing upon a field study carried out by the authors in 2009 in the Central Province of Sri Lanka. A point of departure from earlier studies is to use a mixed methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative data to assess the impact of Fair Trade on a broader set of development indicators to capture both the monetary and non-monetary progress of farmers. Methodologically, to overcome the limitation of small sample sizes of non-experimental survey data, we propose the use of propensity-score weighted linear and non-linear regression models with and without instrumenting the farmers' participation in Fair Trade. Here we have made treatment and control groups observationally comparable by applying propensity score matching (PSM) to match and weight the data, following Hirano and Imbens. We have found that Fair Trade certification increased farmers' actual income from tea production significantly, with fewer hours of work per day and accelerated perceived improvement in overall household income, as well as empowering women in decision making. Our mixed methods approach led us to conclude that Fair Trade certification benefits Fair Trade tea farmers through increased tea income and risk reduction.

Daniel A Shock 1 Steven M Roche Rachel Genore Merle E Olson 3 1Agricultural Communications and Epidemiological Research (ACER) Consulting, Guelph, Ontario, Canada; 2Heartland Veterinary Services, Listowel, Ontario, Canada; 3Solvet Animal Health, Calgary, Alberta, Canada Background: The initiation of lactation challenges the ability of the modern lactating cow to maintain calcium homeostasis, and typically results in a drop in blood calcium levels, leading to mobilization of calcium reserves from skeletal stores. As such, the recommendation to provide supplemental calcium at parturition to older cows has become an industrystandard practice. Methods: Mature cows were treated at calving and 12 hrs later with either the novel calcium bolus (NB) or a commercially available calcium bolus (CB). Blood was collected from animals at 0, 1, 6, 12, 13, and 24 hrs following calving, and the resulting serum samples were analyzed. Results: Overall, there was no statistical difference between the NB and CB groups for blood calcium levels within the first 24 hrs following parturition (P = 0.50). Cows in both groups experienced a significant increase in serum calcium by 1 hr after parturition; however, this increase was not sustained through subsequent sampling times. Conclusion: This pilot study demonstrates that both boluses have a similar effect in the elevation of blood calcium.
Intertrappean beds of India

Spicate infl orescences with attached fl owers from the Deccan Intertrappean beds at Mahurzari, Nagpur District, Maharastra, India augment our understanding of the late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) extinct angiosperm genus, Sahnipushpam, which was previously documented only from detached fl owers and fruits. We studied new specimens as well as earlier published material to advance understanding of the morphology and possible systematic affi nities of Sahnipushpam. The infl orescence is at least 4.8 cm in length and 6.0–6.5 mm in breadth. The infl orescence axis is 1.2–1.5 mm in diameter, with scattered, vascular bundles. Numerous sessile fl owers are closely arranged on the axis. They are small, actinomorphic, and mostly pistillate, sometimes hermaphrodite. A single fused tubular whorl, interpreted as perianth, surrounds the ovary and is quadrangular to subcircular in cross section with lysigenous spaces inside. The androecium includes four stamens with small anthers, positioned in the angles of the perianth. In situ pollen grains, studied by both light and scanning electron microscopy, are 25–30 μm in maximum dimension, oblong to somewhat boat-shaped, extended monosulcate, with a fi nely reticulate exine. The gynoecium is superior and free from the perianth, tetrato pentacarpellate with a single locule that is partitioned into 4 or 5 major subunits and further into 8–11 minor subunits, by incomplete, radially oriented septa. The single seed or ovule is multilobed or ruminate due to penetration of major and minor incomplete septa from the ovary. The style is stout with a prominent central canal divided by thin horizontal septa. The stigma is peltate and more or less umbrella-like. The new infl orescence specimens resolve the previous controversy over which side of these unusually shaped fl owers and fruits was apical, and confi rm that the original interpretation was correct. Despite excellent preservation and many distinctive characters now known for this genus, the systematic affi nities relative to living angiosperm families remain elusive. The combination of scattered vascular bundles and monosulcate pollen suggests affi nities with the Piperales or with the monocots. Members of extant Piperales are similar in the possession of oil cells and have some members with only one whorl of perianth, but other features of Sahnipushpam seem remote from Piperales, and closer to the monocotyledonous family, Araceae, which share tendencies for expanded stigma, small number of stamens, sometimes 4and 5-carpellate fruits. The similarities with Araceae are scattered among unrelated genera, and may be in part attributable to convergent evolution. The possibility remains that this fl ower belongs to an extinct family with few if any extant relatives.
Characterization of breast tomosynthesis systems: A comparison and optimization

Aim: The aim of the study is to characterize the dependency of image quality on absorbed dose for two breast tomosynthesis (BT) systems, GE Senographe Pristina and Siemens Mammomat Inspiration and compare the systems. The image quality was evaluated by different parameters such as: in-plane and in-depth spatial resolution, artifact spread function (ASF) and signal-difference-to-noise ratio (SDNR). Material & Method: In this work, BT volumes were acquired using one GE and one Siemens system with different acquisition and reconstruction settings. For the Siemens system, two reconstruction algorithms were evaluated, one is used in our clinic Unilabs Skane, and the other is a newly developed reconstruction algorithm called EMPIRE. For the GE system, the algorithm used in clinical routine was evaluated. The phantoms used were CIRS phantoms with and without anatomical background (models 020 and 021), including imaging targets simulating microcalcifications and carcinomas. The thickness of these phantoms could be varied to simulate different breast thicknesses. Another in-house made phantom was used for measurement of the depth resolution. The image quality was evaluated on reconstructed images. Result: For all breast thicknesses, the GE system used a lower automatic exposure control (AEC) dose in comparison with the Siemens system. At AEC settings, the in-plane resolution of the two systems are comparable, although GE has slightly smaller FWHM compared with Siemens (330 μm vs. 380 μm in the tube motion direction, 290 μm vs. 340 μm in the orthogonal direction). Regarding the depth resolution, the FWHM of the GE system is higher than that of the Siemens system (2.3 mm vs 5.5 mm). Also, GE has narrower ASF for microcalcifications compared with Siemens (3.1 mm vs 5.0 mm). For the larger objects simulating carcinoma, however, Siemens has narrower ASF compared with GE (9.8 mm vs 13.9 mm). For all breast thickness, the GE system provides the same SDNR value at lower dose than the Siemens system with the reconstruction algorithms currently in use. However, with the newly developed algorithm EMPIRE, the SDNR value is generally higher than Siemens TOMO_STANDARD and comparable or higher than GE. With consideration to the anatomical noise, a dose increase does not result in a significant SDNR gain. Conclusion: In this study, there is no clear advantage of any system. Both systems have good performance in different aspects and there are some uncertainties that need to be considered.Regarding the optimization, the results did not motivate a dose increase for SDNR gain. The studied parameters may not be representative for the image quality desired by radiologists and thus, further qualitative study is necessary.
Effects of twelve weeks program of aerobic training in young male

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a twelve-week aerobic training program on the body composition of overweight or obese young men. The sample consisted of 21 males of 21.86 ± 1.85 years old. The training was carried out for twelve weeks, running it 3 times a week for a period of 60 to 90 minutes. Before and after the program, their weight, height, body mass index, percentage of lean mass, percentage of fat mass through bone densitometry were evaluated. It’s concluded that the aerobic training of twelve weeks of duration in young men with overweight or obesity produces improvements in the studied parameters, being able to influence with this in the improvement of the health and quality of life of these population.
