Nursing team knowledge on cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Received on: 04/05/2019. Accepted on: 09/18/2019. Available on: 12/31/2019. ABSTRACT ! e objective of this study was to identify the theoretical knowledge of the nursing team on the cardiopulmonary resuscitation manoeuvres in basic life support, associating such knowledge to sociodemographic, economic and professional training variables. is is a cross-sectional, descriptive and quantitative study, in which the data were obtained from questionnaires applied to 351 employees of a nursing team of an emergency service and intensive care units. ere was a decline in the subjects’ knowledge about resuscitation and cardiopulmonary arrest over time. Socio-economic and professional factors were associated with the knowledge of nursing professionals. It is suggested that training with shorter intervals would increase the degree of retention and knowledge of the nursing team.
Effect of Adjuvant Chemotherapy is Responsible for Decreasing Segmental and Total BMD in BC Postmenopausal Women

Background: Women with breast cancer are at increased risk for the development of osteoporosis and skeletal fractures, as consequences of aromatase inhibition or chemotherapy-induced ovarian failure. We investigated the effect of adjuvant chemotherapy on biochemical markers of bone formation and resorption as well as on bone mineral density (BMD) of non-metastatic breast cancer (NMBC) postmenopausal Egyptian women. Methods: We followed 100 newly diagnosed women with T1-3 N0-2 M0 breast cancer, who had a mean age (±SD) of 55.06±8.78 year, before and after receiving 6-cycles of CAF chemotherapy treatment protocol. All participant women were subjected to blood biochemical analysis for determining serum levels of: erythrocyte sedimentation rate, calcium, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bone specific alkaline phosphatase (S.ALP), Osteocalcin, carboxytelopeptide of collagen type I (CTx-I), 25-Hydroxyvitamin D, Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) and tumor marker CA15-3. Segmental and total BMD were also investigated using Dual X-ray Absorptiometry technique. Results: We found ALP, S.ALP, and CTx-I levels were significantly lower (p<0.001), while PTH levels to be significantly higher for all women after chemotherapy as compared to their initial state before chemotherapy. Both segmental and total BMD, and consequently T- and Z-Scores after chemotherapy were significantly (p<0.01) lower than their levels before chemotherapy. We developed prediction mathematical formulae for spine, pelvis and total BMD for all women before and after chemotherapy. Conclusions: Adjuvant chemotherapy is responsible for decreasing both biochemical markers of bone formation and resorption as well as for decreasing segmental and total BMD in NMBC postmenopausal Egyptian women. We believe the mathematical formulae developed on basis of the two individual variables Age and BMI can be useful for assisting the clinician to frequently monitor bone health status of breast cancer patients in similar conditions.

line 8: The authors state "but no fully functional and rigorously validated tool was previously available for Python". They might want to say "written in Python" since seacarb is available for use in Python (through Rmagic or rpy2). line 12: "every solute is included"? "every" is a dangerous word.
Shut Down and Shut Out: Women Physicians in the Era of Medical Education Reform

Women made tremendous inroads into the medical profession in the late nineteenth century. By 1900, women constituted more than 10 percent of practicing physicians in some cities. Progress, however, did not continue into the twentieth century, as the fraction female among American physicians actually declined after 1900. This reversal is often linked to the professionalization of medical practice and the associated changes in medical education that led to a wave of medical school closures. Using a newly constructed panel data set of medical colleges, we show that women’s access to medical education was blocked not only by the closure of schools with traditionally high female enrollments, but also by the shrinking number of seats for women at the schools that survived. We find that female enrollment dropped when schools added requirements for pre-medical school college coursework. We also find that school rules and state regulations requiring hospital internships further decreased women’s enrollment in medical schools. JEL Classification Codes: K3, J2, J70, N3, N31, N32
Approahes to teaching and learning of chemistry at the second cycle secondary school level in Cameroon

This study is aimed at examining the influence of teaching methods on the learning of chemistry in secondary schools in Buea. The study adopted quantitative research design specifically quasi-experimental research design type. Target population comprised of lower sixth students in secondary schools in Buea Municipality. The sample size comprised of 32 students selected using stratified random sampling and simple random sampling. The quantitative data was analysed descriptively and inferentially. The study established that teaching using laboratory method had more impact on students’ learning as compared to explicit teaching and illustrated lecture methods on the learning of chemistry. This indicated that teaching using laboratory method improves learners’ performance.
Quick Routing in Autonomous Vehicles using Boosting Algorithms

Self-driving automobiles are understandably the most attention grabbing utility of artificial intelligence. Until recently, we have just considered the prototypes of these cars in Sci-fi movies, with the whole thing else left to our imagination. But with advances in technology, this super notion has acquired a lifestyles of its own. Autonomous vehicle promises to improve traffic safety while at the same time, it must increase the fuel efficiency, reduce congestion and arrive to the destination at a minimum time span. We propose a novel technique to boost the algorithm to take the shortest path while the vehicle is in movement.
Advanced activities of daily living among the elderly: predictive factors

ABSTRACT A reduction in social activities can result in incapacities and worsening of quality of life. e present study aimed to characterize elderly subjects, describe their level of advanced activities of daily living and identify the change between activity levels (improvement, stability, worsening) and the predictors of change in advanced activities of daily living levels. is is a longitudinal study carried out with 353 elderly subjects. e following were used: Mini Exam of Mental State; socioeconomic and morbidity data; frailty phenotype and questions on advanced activities of daily living. Descriptive analysis was carried out with a multinomial regression model (p<0.05). It was identi"ed that there was a higher percentage of females, from 60 to 69 years old in the group at the worst level of advanced activities of daily living (41.1%). Improvement in advanced activities of daily living was associated with income of up to one minimum salary (p=0.004), non-frailty (p=0.006) and pre-frailty (p=0.028) while worsening was associated with living alone (p=0.038). Identi"cation of predictors of change in advanced activities of daily living and of the characteristics in the groups that were worsening or showing improvement may direct early interventions in health care.

Abnormal podocyte autophagy and apoptosis could result in podocyte loss in diabetics nephropathy (DN). The mechanism of Yu Nu compound in DN is still unclear. Therefore, the study aims to investigate the effects of Yu Nu compound and analyze the potential mechanism. Methods: Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats were administered using YNJ with different doses once a day by gavage for 4 weeks. The renal cortex injury was observed by HE staining and electron microscope. Cell apoptosis of renal cortex was analyzed by TUNNEL staining. The mTOR, autophagy-related proteins and apoptosis-related proteins were detected by Western blot or real-time PCR in vivo and vitro. MPC5 cells were exposed to high glucose (HG, 30mM) for 12h to simulate podocyte injury in DN. MPC5 cells were treated by serum containing YNJ with different dosages. Cell activities and apoptosis were, respectively, detected through Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8) assay and flow cytometry. Results: The results showed that the medium dose of YNJ had better effects on decreasing blood glucose and improving renal injury in GK rats, followed by decreasing mTOR levels. The autophagy levels were enhanced in renal cortex, accompanied with the increase of cell apoptosis in vivo. Besides, the proteins regulating autophagy and apoptosis were significantly modulated by YNJ in GK rats. Then, we found that the decreasing endogenous mTOR could reverse the effects of YNJ on podocyte apoptosis and autophagy in vivo. Discussion: The study suggested that YNJ recovered normal autophagy and suppressed apoptosis through regulating mTOR. The maintenance of normal basal autophagic activity possibly based on the effect of YNJ on multiple target was essential for maintaining podocyte function.
Decision Making in Orthopedic Surgery Through Hyper Low Dose Images Previously “Low Dose Fluoroscopy for Orthopedic Surgery” Final Paper Members:

Background In internal pelvic fracture reconstruction surgery, the surgeon inserts a k-wire into the pelvis to align the fractured bones. In order to know where the wire is and what trajectory it is following, the surgeon must use x-ray images. Typically, over 100 digital radiographs are taken during the insertion of one k-wire. In order to get a clear view of the instrumentation and pelvic bones, the surgeon images with high dose digital radiographs. The dose of each image adds up over the course of the surgery and can have negative effects on the patient. More importantly, the surgeon will accumulate a small radiation dose due to the photon scattering. Over many procedures, this dose will accumulate quickly. Finally, the discrete nature of digital radiographs causes the procedure to stop every time an image is taken. Our aim is to address these issues by enabling the use of hyper-low dose images. In the long term, we would like to shorten the overall surgery by applying hyper-low dose fluoroscopy.

ANALYSIS OF SUPPLY CHAIN STRATEGIES: A CASE STUDY IN A SMALL-

Through well-defined Supply Chain Strategies (SCS), a company establishes long-term relationships with customers and suppliers, and also explores new options for processes, increases productive efficiency, and consequently delivers better customer service. There are methodologies developed to assist companies assessing their SCS performance. They are usually applied to largesized companies, where there is a well-defined structure. Nevertheless, this scenario is generally not observed in micro and small-size enterprises (MSEs), where a limited number of employees accumulates functions, and there is no clear division of departments. Therefore, the main aim of this work was to adapt a SCS evaluation methodology to MSE. A case study was analysed to demonstrate the proposed adaptation. The proposed methodology allowed the manager to identify and understand the relationships between the objectives in a logical way. In addition, it allowed a better assessment of the context, acting as a guide in the strategy formulation process.
The art of non-verbal communication in perlocutionary giftedness

Language aptitude and perlocutionary acts and effects have been subjects of extensive research since their true beginnings in the 1950’s and 1960’s, respectively. On the one hand, Carroll and Sapon (1959), Pimsleur (1966), or Biedroń (2012) aimed at revealing the factors responsible for a learner’s sixth sense for languages. On the other hand, almost simultaneously, Austin (1962) introduced the tripartite division of a speech act, with locutions, illocutions, and perlocutions as the integral components, later developed by Searle (1969), who shed new light on the Speech Act Theory (SAT). At that time, however, the role of the perlocutionary component was significantly diminished, since the primary goal of pragmatics was to investigate the speaker’s intentions. Gradually, the role of perlocutionary acts and effects changed and more attention was drawn to the perlocutionary aspect. In 1979, Cohen, Davis and Gaines highlighted the fact that perlocutionary acts have perlocutionary goals, which might be observed by the subsequent effects utterance have on the listener. In 2013, Post offered a new insight into the SAT and suggested that the role of perlocution ought not to be diminished, but enhanced and intensified. In 2015, Świątek suggested a contrasting approach to both concepts and combined them to investigate the role of individual differences responsible for one’s verbal perlocutionary giftedness. The research revealed that the aspects like verbal aptitude, anxiety, willingness to communicate, or personality type had considerable impact on perlocutionary skills and the desired perlocutionary effects. Świątek’s approach shed new light on the research on pragmatic aspects of glottodidactics and opened a new chapter in that field of science. The aim of the presentation is to concentrate on yet another fundamental factor of perlocutionary giftedness, i.e. non-verbal aspects in its manifestation. The research, based on experiential and comparative methods as well as individual case analysis, aimed at revealing a strong link between verbal perlocutionary giftedness and the accompanying non-verbal aspects of communication, such as kinesics, proxemics, vocalics, or posture, which affect the listener’s decisions, who then complies with the speaker’s will.
Digital Sustainability and its Implications for Finance and Climate Change

As the pandemic forced the entire world to a virtual standstill, nature revived a little. The US emitted 10.3% less CO2 in 2020 than in 2019 and other regions similarly experienced emission declines. Depending on the source, global carbon emissions were down between 4 and 8% in 2020.2 Consumers globally have expressed more concern about sustainability, an observation confirmed by large survey research by Accenture, Kantar, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), and Ipsos.3 In its latest Emissions Gap Report4, the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) explicitly connected the pandemic to climate change, nature loss, and pollution. Besides the acceleration of business digitalisation with the move to work-from-home, the pandemic has created a shift in how we think and talk about sustainability. Our thesis is that digitalisation and sustainability are converging and that new digital technologies will empower novel sustainability solutions that may help avoid the worst of climate change.
Scintigraphy after Various Methods of Myocardial Revascularization

Abstract. This article presents a comprehensive assessment of the perfusion-functional state of the LV myocardium after direct and indirect revascularization methods at various times after surgery to evaluate the complex relationship between myocardial viability and the method of revascularization. The research shows a significant advantage to using the YurLeon method of inducing extracardial revascularization of the myocardium in patients with diffuse coronary lesions. Aim. Comparative dynamic of scintigraphic indicators with various methods of revascularization. Materials and Methods.The study included 214 patients who underwent myocardial revascularization in various ways. Gated-SPECT was performed before the operation, as well as 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 or more years after the operation. Results.The groups of patients after CABG and CABG+YurLeon had differences in SRS indicators one year after surgery: 6.58±7.37 (after CABG) and 1.01±1.49 (CABG+YurLeon)(p<0.05). The most significant changes in systolic thickening (WT) occurred in segments with an accumulation of 26-40%: 1.78±1.84 (CABG), 0.51±0.85 (CABG+YurLeon), 2.6±1.19(PCI); and in segments 41-50%: 1.23±1.10 (CABG), 0.14±0.39 (CABG+YurLeon), 2.1±0.8 (PCI) (p<0.05). In the long-term period after revascularization, the total percentage of LV myocardial segments with "functional-perfusion mismatch" stood at: 11.08±11.69% of segments (CABG), 1.26±2.7% (CABG+YurLeon), 18.44±8.70% (PCI) (p<0.05). Conclusion. Comprehensive diagnostics of patients before surgery, including gated-SPECT, allow medical professionals to more effectively choose the method of revascularization and predict the nearest and separated results. Coronary bypass surgery together with the YurLeon technique of indirect myocardial revascularization in patients with severe diffuse lesions of the coronary artery shows more effective results than other methods of surgically treating IHD.

The Impact of Financial Crisis on the determinants of Capital Structure among Shariah Constructions Firms

The aim of this empirical study is to explore the factors that affect the capital structure of construction firms and to investigate whether the capital structure models derived from Western settings provide convincing explanations for capital structure decisions of the Malaysia firms. This study focuses on Shariah compliant construction companies since this industry has been contributing significantly towards Malaysia economic growth. In addition, this study also includes the impact of financial crisis towards firms’ capital structure decision. Panel data from 11 Shariah compliant construction companies in Malaysia were analyzed for duration of 17 years (2001-2017). Different conditional theories of capital structure are reviewed i.e. trade‐off theory, pecking order theory, agency theory, and theory of free cash flow, in order to formulate testable propositions concerning the determinants of capital structure of the construction firms. The dependent variable that being used is debt ratio, while independent variables are firm size, profitability, tangible asset, growth opportunity, liquidity, and crisis respectively. Finding indicates that firm size, profitability and tangible asset are significant towards debt ratio. However, other variables including financial crisis did not have any significant impact on capital structure decision. The results of this study provide important implication to investors and manager of firms in making best decision on capital structure. This study also adds values to the existing knowledge regarding determinants of capital structure and financial crisis.
Determinants of Bank Profitability in Macao

This paper examines the impact of bank characteristics as well as macroeconomic and financial structure variables on the performance of the Macao banking industry. Our results show that the capital strength of a bank is of paramount importance in affecting its profitability. A well-capitalised bank is perceived to be of lower risk and such an advantage will be translated into higher profitability. On the other hand, the asset quality, as measured by the loan-loss provisions, affects the performance of banks adversely. In addition, banks with a large retail deposit-taking network do not achieve a level of profitability higher than those with a smaller network. Finally, with regard to macroeconomic variables, only the rate of inflation exhibits a significant relationship with banks’ performance. Determinants of Bank Profitability in Macao 94
Object and Face Naming Tasks In Relation To Same and Different Category Conditions

An experiment of two factors (2X2) within participants ANOVA design was conducted. 20 UEL students in total have taken part. The experiment -partial replication of the Damian et al. (2001) and Vitkovitch et al. (2006) experimentshad two stimuli/factor 1 (object and faces) and a context/factor 2 of four conditions (homogene-ous/heterogeneous for objects and homogeneous/heterogeneous for faces). It was predicted that participants will need longer time to respond to homogeneous objects than to heterogeneous, whereas shorter time for homogeneous faces and longer for heterogeneous ones. The experiment has shown no significant semantic effect for homogeneous and heterogeneous conditions in the context factor, whereas an overall slow significance in relation to the stimulus factor, i.e. faces were named more difficult than the objects. The interaction that was found between objects and faces has shown marginal significance towards the predicted direction on behalf of the faces over the objects. There was concluded that object naming refers to minor latencies compared to high ones of face naming.
