Authors: Gabr Mohamed Elsayed , El Shorbagy Amira Mahmoud , Faheem Hamdy Badee
Published: August 2022

This research investigates the effect of heavy rain on highway traffic volume and average speed, and proposes a recharging well harvesting system as an alternative freshwater source in the context of climate change. The Cairo Autostorad highway was taken as a case study. The highway climate data were collected, and traffic was measured using Metrocount equipment during the period from 2008 to 2020. The results show that the studied road is about 12 km long, and about 40 water ponds exist along the route. Each pond has an estimated water volume of 300 m3, and a 30 cm recharging well, with a maximum recharging capacity of 25 m3/h with satisfactory performance, is recommended to be constructed for rainwater harvesting. The recharging wells will clear the ponding volume within 2.5 to 3.5 h after the rainfall has stopped. The design incorporates a 1.2 safety factor against blockage inside the well. In addition, a model was established between the average rainfall depth and the average measured highway speed for the period (2008–2020) during rainy months, indicating an exponential function with a determination factor R2 = 0.7076. The present rainfall (2020) and the representative concentration path (RCP) for 4.5 and 8.5 emissions scenarios were used to simulate the rainfall for future years: the 2040s, 2060s, 2080s, and 2100s. The results show that in the winter season for the current scenario (2020), the average rainfall depth was 45 mm, and the highway speed was 78 km/h. For the RCP 4.5 emission scenarios for the 2040s, 2060s, 2080s, and 2100s, the rainfall depths were 67.8, 126.4, 131.2, and 143.9 mm, and the corresponding reductions in the highway speeds were 23, 34, 35.3, and 36.9%, respectively, compared to the baseline scenario (2020). On the other hand, the RCP 8.5 emission scenarios show a reduction in the highway speed of 23, 34.5, 36.9, and 36.9% for the years 2040, 2060, 2080, and 2100, respectively, due to rainfall depths of 68.7, 128.4, 143.9, and 143.9 mm, respectively. This study helps policymakers to make wise decisions regarding sustainable water resource management and highway traffic problems related to rainwater depths in the context of climate change.

Authors: Wong Kirsten , Smith Alden , Alonso Jose , Long Jennifer
Published: August 2022

Background: Airway stenosis is a known complication of prolonged intubation in hospitalized patients. With the high rate of intubations in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia, laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS) is a complication of COVID-19 that drastically reduces quality of life for patients who may remain tracheostomy-dependent. Methods: Patient medical history, laryngoscopy, and CT imaging were obtained from medical records. Results: We report four cases of complicated LTS following intubation after COVID-19 pneumonia and explore the current literature in a narrative review. Four patients developed LTS following intubation from COVID-19 pneumonia. Three patients remain tracheostomy-dependent, and the fourth required a heroic operative schedule to avoid tracheostomy. Conclusion: Intubation for COVID-19 pneumonia can result in severe LTS, which may persist despite endoscopic intervention.

Jesus in the Ṣūfī Interpretations
Authors: Çakıroğlu Selim
Published: August 2022

This article aims to examine the Ṣūfī interpretation of the story of the prophet Jesus in the Qurʾān. The fate of Jesus, who came to the world in a miraculous way, resulted in a similar way. The fact that the verses in the Qur’an that mention the Jews wanting to kill him (as well as other verses) do not state what his ultimate fate was has been the focus of much discussion. The interpretations made by the Ṣūfīs, who put forward a different method in the Islamic tafsīr tradition in terms of their interpretation style, contributed to the emergence of original interpretations in Islamic thought. In this article, the approach of the Ṣūfīs in the debates around the issues of “the ascension of Jesus” and “the return of Jesus” in Islamic thought will be outlined, and the interpretations of the Ṣūfīs in terms of their methods in interpreting the stories about Jesus will be examined within the framework of eight leading Ṣūfī tafsīr books.
Estudo de fontes alternativas e uso racional de energia elétrica em empreendimentos imobiliários
Authors: Lombardi Carlos Roberto , Falcao Daniel Ferreira
Published: August 2022

Com o objetivo de apontar as fontes alternativas e a utilização racional de energia elétrica em empreendimentos imobiliários, o estudo buscou, através de pesquisas bibliográficas, uma análise de diversas fontes de energia renováveis e procurou identificar as que melhor se encaixam para o propósito do trabalho. Três fontes de energia se destacaram para essa finalidade: energia eólica, cuja geração de energia elétrica ocorre através dos ventos, energia solar térmica, que utiliza coletores solares para aquecimento de água e a energia solar fotovoltaica, que produz eletricidade através da incidência da radiação solar. Disponibilizou-se metodologia de análise qualitativa para identificar as oportunidades de geração de energia própria em empreendimentos imobiliários. A fonte que melhor atende as unidades consumidoras para geração de energia elétrica é a fotovoltaica, cuja origem provém de uma reserva natural praticamente inesgotável: o sol. Através da redução de custos de equipamentos e de novos benefícios por parte do governo brasileiro, ela está se tornando cada vez mais acessível. O Ministério das Minas e Energia lançou em dezembro de 2015, um programa de desenvolvimento da geração distribuída de energia elétrica. Ele estimula a geração própria de energia nas unidades consumidoras conectadas à rede de distribuição de energia elétrica. Tem como atrativos incentivos fiscais e sistemas de compensação, aonde se pode guardar na rede de distribuição da concessionária, a energia produzida durante o dia e não consumida. Dessa forma, a rede da concessionária funciona como uma grande bateria que armazena esse energia e a devolve em momentos aonde não ocorre geração própria pelo sistema fotovoltaico, como por exemplo, à noite. Através do uso de produtos e equipamentos com melhor eficiência energética e do dimensionamento adequado dos sistemas fotovoltaicos conectados a rede para implementação em unidades consumidoras de edificações, abre-se uma nova perspectiva no uso de energia renovável, com estímulo significativo às ações de sustentabilidade e uma contribuição de vulto para uma menor agressão ao meio ambiente. Com as ações do governo se intensificando, promovendo mais debates públicos e incentivos, um novo cenário energético se desenha no Brasil. Junta-se a isso a elaboração de novos projetos que contemplem o uso dessa energia e teremos uma grande disseminação da sua aplicação em empreendimentos imobiliários.

Published: August 2022

Background: Sleep quality and quantity disorders are among the most important problems in old age. Healthy sleep behaviors are among the best ways to deal with sleep disorders among the elderly. This study aimed to determine the socio-cognitive determinants predicting healthy sleep behaviors among the elderly who had been referred to the retirement centers in Hamadan, Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed among 288 elderly people who had been referred to the retirement centers in Hamadan, Iran in 2020, and were selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected online using a self-administered questionnaire with items on demographic characteristics and the theory of planned behavior (TPB) constructs. Data were analyzed by SPSS software (version 16) using Pearson correlation, independent t test, one-way ANOVA, and linear regression tests at the significance level of 0.05. Results: The mean (±standard deviation) age of respondents in this study was 67.2 (±6.3) years. Perceived behavior control (β=0.409), attitude (β=0.251), and subjective norms (β=0.205) were stronger predictors of healthy sleep behavior intention among the elderly, respectively; collectively, they accounted for 28.5% of the variation in sleep health behavior intention. Behavioral intention (β=0.429) and perceived behavioral control (β=0.167) were also predictors of healthy sleep behaviors among the elderly. There was a statistically significant relationship between the educational level and healthy sleep behaviors (P<0.05). Conclusion: It seems that the development and implementation of educational programs based on the TPB for the improvement of attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavior control can play an effective role in promoting healthy sleep behaviors and sleep quality among the elderly.

Authors: Farhadi Nasab Abdollah , Majzobi Mohammad Mehdi
Published: August 2022

Background: Intravenous (IV) drug use and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection are closely related and are both among the major public health dilemmas worldwide. A considerable number of IV drug users are infected with HIV; this further adds to the risk of the occurrence of psychological disorders in them. This study aimed to assess the mental health status of IV drug users with and without HIV infection. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 270 IV drug users in Hamadan, including 90 HIV-positive and 180 HIV-negative subjects. The data were collected using general health questionnaire-28 items (GHQ-28) and then analyzed by SPSS, version 19. Results: Based on the results, HIV-negative IV drug users had a better mental health status than HIV-positive IV drug users, but this difference was not statistically significant (P=0.072). The assessment of GHQ-28 subscales revealed that the score of the social dysfunction subscale was significantly higher in HIV-positive compared to HIV-negative subjects (P=0.004). Conclusion: It appears that the mental health status of IV drug users is suboptimal, and HIV infection can compromise the quality of life of addicts, particularly in terms of social function. Thus, designing strategies to improve the mental health status of IV drug users and their compliance with hygienic measures can promote public health.

Published: August 2022

Background: Mental health status of university students is a critical issue due to its essential role in students’ academic performance. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the mental health status of first-year students at Hamadan University of Medical Sciences in 2020. Methods: All first-year students of Hamadan University of Medical Sciences entered this cross-sectional study through census sampling. Two Questionnaires, the Goldberg’s General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12) as a screening instrument, and a researcher-made questionnaire were used to collect demographic information. After data collection, the chi-square test and logistic regression coefficient were applied to analyze the data at a significance level of 0.05. Results: The results showed that out of 875 students, 170 cases (19.4%) suffered from mental disorders, including depressed mood (93.5%) and anxiety attack (22%) as the most and least common disorders, respectively. Fitting the logistic regression model revealed that the highest educational degree (P<0.001, medical residency), admission quotas other than the free quota (P=0.03), high (P=0.04) and low (P=0.01) financial status, and fathers’ unemployment (P=0.04) increased the chance of mental health disorders. Conclusion: Due to the high rate and negative consequences of mental health problems in university students, it is recommended that university counseling centers provide services for students with a focus on coping with more frequent mental disorders. Finally, it is suggested they have yearly follow-up surveys to recognize the effects of the university environment and different conducted programs on the students’ mental status.

Published: August 2022

BACKGROUND: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is the most frequent functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorder. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the different aspects of IBS among Middle Eastern residents. METHODS: During the study period, patients attending gastroenterology clinics of nine tertiary referral centers in four Middle Eastern couturiers (Iran, Egypt, Kuwait, and Turkey) were evaluated by Rome IV diagnostic criteria, and those who fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of IBS were asked to fill in a questionnaire covering different demographics and clinical aspects. RESULTS: Overall, during a 6-month period, 509 patients with IBS were included. 41.3% of the participants were male (210 patients), and 37.4% of them had academic education. 50% of the participants were Caucasian, and 34% were Arab, and originally, they were citizens of 18 countries. 77.4% of the participants were residents of subtropical areas, while 22.2% were living in temperate regions. The average age of the participants during the first presentation in subtropical and temperate areas were 38.4 ± 12.19 and 38.06 ± 12.18 years, respectively (P = 0.726). The most common subtypes of IBS in subtropical areas were unclassified (IBS-U, 44.4%), constipation dominant (IBS-C, 27.6%), mixed pattern (IBS-M, 21%), and diarrhea dominant (IBS-D, 6.8%) in descending order while in temperate areas the most common subtypes were IBS-U (43.3%), and IBS-D (22.1%), respectively (P < 0.001). Besides abdominal pain, the most common symptom of patients in each region was bloating (62.2% and 68.1%, respectively, P = 0.246). The rate of depression and anxiety were significantly higher among the residents of temperate areas in comparison with subtropical regions (41.6% vs. 16.5% and 80.5% vs. 58.4%, respectively, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Although the average age of IBS presentation is the same in subtropical and temperate areas, it seems that in temperate areas, the rate of IBS-D is more prevalent than in subtropical regions. The rate of anxiety and depression are significantly higher among those who searched social media and the internet to get information about their problems.

Published: August 2022

Background: Smoking is increasing among adolescents and young adults. Adolescents’ smoking can predict frequent smoking in early adulthood. This study aimed to explore the predictors of smoking among high school students using health belief model (HBM). Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study conducted in 2019 in Bandar-Abbas city, South of Iran, 444 male high-school students aged 15-19 years (mean age: 16.7±0.85) were explored. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire consisted of two main sections: sociodemographic characteristics and HBM constructs. The zero-inflated ordered probit (ZIOP) model was adopted for investigating the association between HBM constructs and smoking behavior. Results: Results indicated that 82% of the participants never smoked cigarette. The results of ZIOP model showed that the knowledge (P=0.026), susceptibility (P<0.001), severity (P=0.035), benefits (P=0.004), and cues to action (P=0.019) had significant effects on smoking cigarette after being adjusted for other covariates (i.e., age, parents’ education, losing one of the parents). Moreover, having a smoker friend was found to be an inflation factor (P<0.001). Adolescents with smoking friends were 44% less likely to avoid smoking. Conclusion: It was concluded that having a smoker friend, knowledge, susceptibility, severity, benefits, and cues to action had considerable predictive capacity for predicting smoking attitude. Therefore, it was recommended that these factors should be seriously considered when designing educational programs with the aim of reducing adolescent smoking.

Published: August 2022

Waterpipe use has grown significantly in recent years. Hookah use has been shown to be associated with various human health problems such as cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, and cancer. The aim of this review study was to investigate the pollutants in the indoor air of waterpipe cafes. An automated literature search was conducted to identify any relevant studies published up to February 2022. For this search, international digital databases (PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Scopus) were chosen. Multiple keywords were used in the systematic literature review, including "hookah" OR "waterpipe" OR "hubble-bubble" OR "narghile" OR "shisha" AND "café" AND "indoor air." After removing duplicate papers and analyzing titles, abstracts, and full texts, 25 studies remained for analysis and interpretation. Particulate matter, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), BTEX compounds, carbon monoxide (CO), nicotine, aldehydes, and bioaerosols were found to be the most prevalent and challenging contaminants in the indoor air of waterpipe cafes. Because of the growing popularity of waterpipe use in cafes, particularly among young people and teenagers, and the high concentration of pollutants in this area, as well as the long-term presence of individuals in these areas, it is necessary for officials to adopt restrictive laws in these places.
Comparison of Syllabification
Authors: M Selvakumar
Published: August 2022

On the topic of syllabification, the types of writing and the changes that writing goes through are compared based on the stories told by Tolkappiyam Nannool. In the Tamil grammar which was followed in the Initial method, the grammar was heavily concerned with punarchi. Just as syllabify is related to verbal grammar, it can be seen in Tolkappiyam and Nannool grammar books that devote a large part of syllabify in written grammar. In this way, it is necessary to find out about the stories that are included in the two books, Tolkappiyam and Nannool. The syllabify is one of the characteristics of Tamil language. As words continue, they join each other naturally without change and subject to deformation. This pattern is one of the main reasons why words need to be added and separated. The combination of the final letter of the adverb and the initial letter of the adverb is called Eluttu punarchi. The stories about Punarchi are told in six iyaals such as Tolkappiyam Punarial and in three iyaals such as Nannool Uyirirru Punarial. The aim of this study is to compare the rules for writing in the works mentioned in these two grammar books.
Literature and Religious Sculptures
Authors: S.P Salavani sree
Published: August 2022

The records of the sculpture exhibited in the classical literature are carried forward here. Although direct visual records about the sculpture are not found in the songs, we can know the data about the sculptures through the Thalavan, Thalavi, friends, and others featured in the songs. A separate place has been given to Lord Shiva and it is also known that Balarama, Surya, Cupid, Shiva, Chaman, etc. were worshipped. It can also be seen that the worship of Balarama that existed during the Sangam period disappeared in the later days. Sculptures of Lord Shiva, who bent the Himalayas into a bow and has the Ganga as his hair accessory, are seen in the temples built later, with goddess Parvati on the high Kailaimalai. When the Lord intended to create the world, it is conveyed that the old man Ayan was the first person to do the work of creation and that he was not given a special place. It is evident that there is an ancient custom of celebrating Kamavel in the period of Ilaveni, which is the time for Cupid.

LA EXPRESIÓN DEL PROMOTOR DEL GEN ahybadh4 EN PLANTAS TRANSGÉNICAS DE Arabidopsis thaliana ES ESPECÍFICA EN LA RAÍZ
Authors: Onofre Janette , Legaria-Solano Juan , Avonce Nelson , Iturriaga Gabriel
Published: August 2022

La glicina betaína es uno de los solutos compatibles con el metabolismo más eficiente. En las plantas, la biosíntesis de la glicina betaína se lleva a cabo en dos pasos enzimáticos. Primero se oxida el sustrato colina a betaína aldehído por medio de la colina monooxigenasa (CMO); el segundo paso es catalizado por una betaína aldehído deshidrogenasa (BADH) que convierte la betaína aldehído a glicina betaína. Estudios previos mostraron que la transcripción del gen ahybadh17, que codifica para la BADH de Amaranthus hypochondriacus, es inducida por estrés hídrico y salinidad, en paralelo a un incremento en los niveles de glicina betaína. En el presente trabajo se analizó la expresión del promotor del gen ahybadh4 de A. hypochondriacus en plantas transgénicas de Arabidopsis thaliana. Para este propósito se construyó un gen quimérico con una secuencia de 1.5 kb correspondiente a la posible región promotora del gen ahybadh4 fusionada con el gen reportero uid A de la  -glucuronidasa (GUS). Las semillas de las plantas transgénicas (T3) obtenidas, fueron crecidas durante 7, 14 y 21 días después de la germinación y fueron sometidas a tratamientos de estrés osmótico y ácido abscísico (ABA) por un periodo de 16 horas. Los análisis histoquímico y fluorimétrico de GUS mostraron una expresión constitutiva y específica en la raíz. Estos resultados permiten concluir que la secuencia 5’ de 1.5 kb del gen ahybadh4 no se regula por estrés ósmótico o ABA en A. thaliana.

Published: August 2022

Se evaluaron los efectos del acolchado plástico (con y sin), tres fechas de siembra y cinco variedades (Deltapine 90, Deltapine 5415, Deltapine 5416, Stoneville 453 y Deltapine 80) sobre el comportamiento productivo del cultivo de algodonero (Gossypium hirsutum L.) durante 1994 y 1995, con base en las variables rendimiento (REND), número de bellotas por planta (NB), peso individual de bellotas (PB) y altura de planta (AP). En el segundo año se agregaron variables de calidad de fibra: porcentaje de fibra (PF), longitud de fibra (LF), resistencia (RES) y finura (FIN). El acolchado plástico (con polietileno negro, calibre 150) ocasionó un aumento promedio de 35.6 % en el rendimiento de algodón en hueso (fibra + semilla), de 27.8 % en NB y de 13 % en AP; el PB no fue afectado. Las fechas de siembra no tuvieron efecto notorio sobre el rendimiento, aunque PB, NB y AP fueron estadísticamente mayores en la primera fecha de siembra. Las variedades presentaron rendimientos similares. El acolchado redujo los valores de longitud y resistencia de la fibra, pero elevó el porcentaje de fibra; la mejor calidad de fibra se logró en la tercera fecha de siembra, excepto en el porcentaje de fibra que fue mayor en la primera fecha. El acolchado también acortó en 22 días el periodo a la cosecha, comparado con el promedio regional, para la primera fecha de siembra. Se concluye que conviene aplicar el acolchado plástico para aumentar el rendimiento de algodón, que además permite adelantar la fecha de siembra sin detrimento de la producción, aunque con una ligera pérdida de calidad. La mejor combinación de tratamientos fue siembra en la primera quincena de marzo, con acolchado de plástico negro.

Para determinar la respuesta a sequía de cuatro pastos: Brachiaria decumbens cv Chontalpo (BD), Brachiaria brizantha cv Insurgente (BB) y los híbridos CIAT 36060 y 36061, se estableció un experimento en invernadero en Montecillo, México, en el año 2000. Se probaron dos periodos de sequía: 80 y 100 días después de la siembra (estados vegetativo y reproductivo, respectivamente), además del testigo que permaneció con riego. La conductancia estomática en estado vegetativo en todos los genotipos disminuyó alrededor del día 10, mientras que en estado reproductivo el híbrido CIAT 36061 resistió más días en sequía. En potencial hídrico se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas (P≤0.05) entre periodos de sequía, entre genotipos y en la interacción de ambos. La acumulación de prolina presentó diferencias (P≤0.05) entre periodos de sequía y entre materiales, en donde el híbrido CIAT presentó la acumulación más baja en los dos tratamientos de sequía. En la acumulación de biomasa aérea se encontraron diferencias (P≤0.05) entre periodos de sequía, y los híbridos tuvieron el mayor rendimiento de materia seca, en raíz. El híbrido CIAT 36061 presentó la relación biomasa de raíz/biomasa aérea más alta, y fue el que resistió mejor la sequía.

Published: August 2022

Los diseños de cruzas dialélicas se utilizan en investigaciones sobre el mejoramiento de plantas y animales, con el fin de generar información experimental que permita evaluar diferentes aspectos genéticos asociados con un conjunto de progenitores. Los investigadores se han enfrentado a diversos casos particulares del modelo lineal, los cuales dependen de los términos, fijos o aleatorios, considerados en él. En la teoría clásica, se describen las metodologías de análisis bajo los modelos I y II, este último llamado modelo de componentes de varianza. Una tercer forma de inferencia, la predicción de combinaciones lineales entre componentes de efectos fijos y aleatorios o simplemente aleatorios, ha mostrado tener importantes ventajas sobre los estimadores obtenidos a partir del modelo de efectos fijos. La mayoría de los algoritmos disponibles, analizan estos experimentos bajo los dos primeros modelos, o bien considerando la tercer posibilidad en diversas situaciones, en diseño de bloques completos al azar; a pesar de ello, el análisis suele ser complicado y con frecuencia, el diseño utilizado es el completamente al azar. En este trabajo se obtiene un algoritmo integrado en SAS-IML, para efectuar el análisis de experimentos de cruzas dialélicas balanceados, con o sin el ensayo de las cruzas recíprocas, parciales o completos, establecidos en diseño completamente al azar o en bloques al azar. El algoritmo considera la estimación o predicción de parámetros en los casos en que los componentes genéticos y ambientales en el modelo, se consideran fijos o aleatorios.

Thus, this study aims to solve the specific syabu (Methamphetamine) drug abuse in the district of Sandakan, Sabah by targeting the local Muslim community through factors that influence a person in the use of Syabu and figures that can be taken to alleviate this problem among the Muslim community in Sandakan. The study uses a qualitative method which is to use the method of interview and analysis of documents. Based on the research conducted, the factors contributing to drug abuse are driven largely by the sociodemographic factors of a person, economic factors, and the lack of emphasis on Islamic education. Social factors also play a role in which peer factors drive drug abuse in the guts of those involved. The consequences of this drug abuse led to an increase in crime rates, adversely affecting the health and collapse of family institutions. To overcome the widespread abuse of Syabu, there are seven measures highlighted by researchers as an effort to curb the spread of the virus in the life landscape of the Muslim community in Sandakan in particular, and Malaysian families in general.

The minbar is an important mosque element found in the prayer hall. A range of height, width and length is available. The proportion of the minbar to the prayer hall is sometimes overlooked, diminishing the interior aesthetic value. The golden ratio is a design choice that is vital in developing the optimum product design. It is often recognised that using this ratio effectively is a terrific method to create. Thus, this study aims to apply the Golden Ratio principle to the minbar by describing the aesthetic value and interior proportion mathematically. This study determined the appropriate ratio of anthropometric elements via golden spiral template made in AutoCAD programme. When a/b equals a+b/a, the ratios equal 1.618. A total of 27 extant minbars from mosques in Johor were studied. The study's conclusions focused on the front and side elevations of the minbar's width, height, and depth. 11.1% (3 minbar) had the best proportion among the 27 components. 1.5 and 1.7 are close to the golden spiral ratio's ideal ratios. In general, the 88.9% minbar does not meet the golden ratio requirements for height, width, and weight. The Golden Ratio is used to make beautiful minbars. The proportion of mathematics related to user comfort and aesthetic appeal. The elegant design creates a safe and comfortable minbar.
The Ba'th and Syria, 1947-1982
Authors: Perry Glenn E.
Published: August 2022

As Professor Olson explains in his preface, this book is intended to be "an intermediate essay" - something that combines the two opposite approaches that he has found to be inadequate for most students. He identifies these two approaches as, on the one hand, specialized studies written by social scientists emphasizing theoretical concepts relating to development and underdevelopment and suitable to advanced students and, on the other hand, general textbooks on the history of the entire Middle East since before the rise of Islam. In effect, he is proposing to write a general account of contemporary Syria, particularly on the rise of the Ba'th Party and the history of the country under Ba'thist rule. Not only is he right about the need for such surveys, but he has also done quite a good job with this one. While its usefulness could have been enhanced by the availability of an inexpensive paperback edition. this book should serve the purpose of courses on twentieth century Middle Eastern history quite well. Portions of the book could also be used in various social science courses in conjunction with works of a more theoretical nature. Professor Olson's book is like most surveys - "intermediate" or more general - in not being based primarily on his own original research. He uses some primary materials, like writings of Michael Aflaq, but in the main this book is a synthesis of books and articles by such people as Tabitha Petran, Patrick Seale, Gordon Torrey, Raymond Hinnebusch, Malcolm Kerr, and Nikolaos Van Dam. The author was quite conscientious about giving credit to all of these secondary works, as indicated by his 22 pages of footnotes for 188 pages of text; this, together with an excellent lengthy bibliography, provides a valuable guide for students and others who want to pursue particular matters in depth. The author provides what, in many ways, is a favorable picture of the al-Asad regime, particularly during its early years. The regime is said, despite the predominance of the Alawi minority in it, to have widespread support not just among minorities but throughout the rural areas (even extending to Sunnis, including devout ones), where its achievements have been considerable, and to have been in the process of further ...

Objetivo: compreender as dificuldades enfrentadas pelas pessoas com estomias intestinais a partir das vivências de autocuidado. Método: trata-se de estudo descritivo, qualitativo, realizado com 30 pessoas com estomias intestinais, em um Centro Especializado em Reabilitação no Rio Grande do Norte, de abril a junho de 2017. A entrevista semiestruturada foi gravada, transcrita e os dados coletados foram analisados seguindo os pressupostos da análise de conteúdo de Bardin. Resultados: a partir das vivências de autocuidado mencionadas pelos participantes, emergiram as dificuldades agrupadas nas categorias: higiene e manuseio do equipamento coletor; necessidades de cuidado com a pele periestomal; equipamento coletor e os episódios de vazamento; convívio social após a estomia; dificuldades e potencialidades da assistência de Enfermagem. As pessoas com estomias apresentaram dificuldades relacionadas à limpeza do estoma, recorte do equipamento coletor, aparecimento de complicações periestomiais, vazamentos de efluentes, afastamento de atividades sociais e informações insuficientes sobre o autocuidado. Considerações Finais: diante das dificuldades encontradas, torna-se necessário refletir sobre as mudanças nas práticas assistenciais para desenvolver o autocuidado da população com estomias, as quais podem se beneficiar do uso de tecnologias educativas instituídas desde o período pré-operatório. Este estudo contribui para a compreensão das experiências de autocuidado vivenciadas por essa população a serem abordadas pela enfermagem na promoção da educação em saúde. Além disso, espera-se que o estudo subsidie pesquisas com novas estratégias para fortalecer a assistência a esse público e o avanço da ciência de Enfermagem.

Hunian merupakan salah satu dari lima kebutuhan pokok yang telah ditetapkan oleh Persatuan Bangsa-Bangsa, masyarakat dapat memenuhi pengadaan huniannya secara mandiri mulai dari perencanaan, pembangunan hingga pengelolaannya; masyarakat kelas menengah memiliki prosentase tertinggi diantara lima kategori masyarakat yang ada di Indonesia, mengingat pengetahuan tentang bangunan hijau relatif baru sehingga potensi permasalahan pada pengadaan huniannya juga relatif tinggi. Guna mengurangi permasalahan sebagai akibat salah rancangan, tentu membutuhkan kerjasama beberapa pihak terkait yakni perencana dan pelaksana disatu sisi, juga pihak regulator yakni Pemerintah yang memahami beberapa kriteria tentang prinsip bangunan hijau yakni tepat guna lahan, efisiensi dan konservasi energi, konservasi air, sumber dan daur material, kesehatan dan kenyamanan dalam ruang. Metode Penelitian dilakukan dengan wawancara penghuni yang menjadi sampel penelitian, dilanjutkan dengan pengumpulan data primer maupun data sekunder dengan kriteria yang telah ditentukan. Tujuan penelitian adalah melakukan evaluasi pada hunian yang terpilih menjadi sampel penelitian berdasarkan Greenship Homes sesuai acuan GBC Indonesia. Hasil yang didapatkan memang belum seperti yang diharapkan pihak-pihak tertentu yang menginginkan tidak terjadinya pemborosan pada tingkat global maupun pribadi. Perlunya sinergi yang baik antara perencana dan pelaksana bangunan di Indonesia guna proses pembangunan di Indonesia dapat terjamin keberlanjutannya.
