Published: June 2020

I en 3-årig studie finansiert av Norges forskningsråds program Miljø 2015 (prosjektperiode 2012–2015) har vi i bred forstand undersøkt hvordan barn erfarer natur i dag. I denne artikkelen vil vi rette fokuset mot barns lek i natur, basert på erfaringer fra ulike delstudier. Delstudiene representerer ulik grad av og innhold i den voksne tilstedeværelsen. Det gjør at vi kan sette fokus både på barns mer frie og egeninitierte lek i natur og aktiviteter som i større grad er planlagt og styrt av voksne. Vi finner at barn gjennom selvstyrt lek stimuleres til en mer sanselig, emosjonell og kroppslig naturkontakt der naturomgivelsene utforskes på lekens premisser, enn når voksne mer aktivt er til stede.
English abstract
A 3-year project funded by The Research Council of Norway, Program Miljø 2015 (project period 2012–2015) has examined how children experience nature today in different situations. In this paper we call attention to children’s free play in nature, based on various case-studies. They represent situations where adults have varying degrees of presence and also different roles for the children. This allows us to observe both situations where children are in free and self-initiated play and situations where adults guide and tightly look after the children. We find that children in free play are stimulated to a more sensuous, emotional and bodily interaction with nature, than situations when adults have more dominant presence and role.
Asylintervjuet med enslige mindreårige asylsøkere – en utfordrende samtale
Authors: Kjelaas Irmelin
Published: June 2020

Maria er ei afrikansk jente på 14 som har kommet alene til Norge for å søke asyl. Vi møttes under mitt feltarbeid på et omsorgssenter for enslige mindreårige asylsøkere under 15 år (Kjelaas 2016), og snakka om mangt og meget. Ett tema som stadig kom opp, var språk, flerspråklighet og språklige utfordringer. Maria hadde nemlig – i likhetmed mange andre asylsøkere – en svært sammensatt og kompleks flerspråklig kompetanse, som bød på flere utfordringer her, både på omsorgssenteret, på skolen og i asylprosessen. Spesielt utfordrende og også avgjørende er asylintervjuet, som er det viktigste grunnlaget for å vurdere om en asylsøker skal få opphold i Norge. Nettopp dette er fokus i denne artikkelen, hvor jeg ser på asylintervjuet med enslige mindreårige asylsøkere med et språkvitenskapelig blikk, og beskriver hvordan sosiolingvistiske perspektiver kan gi innsikt i de språklige utfordringene både intervjuer, tolk og barn møter i asylintervjuet. Innledningsvis gir jeg en mer generell redegjørelse for hvem de enslige mindreårige asylsøkerne er, og hva et asylintervju er og innebærer for barna.

Senmoderne bildebøker i barnehagen
Authors: Hovde Johannesen Elisabeth
Published: June 2020

Artikkelen demonstrerer hvordan den senmoderne bildeboka uttrykker tendenser i det senmoderne samfunnet slik blant andre sosiologene Anthony Giddens, Jon Arne Vetlesen og Finn Hjardemaal beskriver det, med vekt på barn og barndom. Den viser hvordan bøkene ikke bare speiler disse tendensene, men også konstruerer et barn/en barndom. Videre kontekstualiserer artikkelen den senmoderne bildeboka i barnehagen som samfunnsinstitusjon, og diskuterer hvilken rolle den kan spille som allalderlitteratur, for barn og ansatte.
English abstract
The article demonstrates how the late modern picture book can be seen as a reflection and expression of tendencies in the late modern society as described by sociologists Anthony Giddens, Jon Arne Vetlesen and Finn Hjardemaal, emphasizing children and childhood. The article shows how these books reflect these tendencies, but also design and produce a child and a childhood. Finally, the article contextualize the late modern picture in the kindergarten as an educational institution, and discuss its role as crossover-literature, for children and for employees.
Kultursensitiv omsorg i barnehagen
Authors: Zachrisen Berit
Published: June 2020

Studiens mål er å undersøke hvordan kultursensitiv omsorg kan komme til uttrykk i en norsk barnehagekontekst. Begrepet kultursensitiv omsorg er inspirert av Gay (2002, 2010) (cultural sensitive care) og utviklet av henne innenfor en amerikansk skolekontekst. Det løfter fram betydningen av omsorgsgivers kulturelle bevissthet i omsorgsutøvelsen. Studiens problemstilling lyder: Hvordan kan kultursensitiv omsorg komme til uttrykk i en barnegruppe preget av etnisk mangfold? Det teoretiske rammeverket er knyttet til multikulturell og kulturelt sensitiv pedagogikk samt teori om omsorg (Gay 2010; Noddings 2010a; Vandenbroeck 2007). Studien synliggjør hvordan omsorgen i barnehagen foregår innenfor en kompleks sosiokulturell kontekst, og fordrer refleksjon hos omsorgsgiveren over hvordan kulturelle erfaringer og bakgrunner hos alle aktørene spiller med i møtene.
English abstract
The aim of the study is to explore how culturally sensitive care can be expressed in a Norwegian preschool. The concept culturally sensitive care is inspired by Gay (2002, 2010) and developed by her within an American school context. It highlights the importance of the caregiver’s cultural awareness in the caring. The research question is: How can culturally sensitive care be expressed in a preschool with children from diverse ethnic backgrounds? Theoretically, the study is linked to theory of multicultural and culturally sensitive pedagogy and theory of care (Gay 2010; Noddings 2010a; Vandenbroeck 2007). The study highlights how care in preschool is executed within a complex socio-cultural context, and calls for the caregiver’s reflection on how cultural experiences and backgrounds of all actors are playing together within the interactions.
Fysisk aktivitet i Aktivitetsskolen
Authors: Lund Siv , Løndal Knut
Published: June 2020

Artikkelen tar utgangspunkt i en studie av 20 andreklassebarns fysiske aktivitet gjennom en dag ved Aktivitetsskolen i Oslo. Resultatene viser et relativt høyt gjennomsnittlig fysisk aktivitetsnivået blant de undersøkte barna. Den fysiske aktiviteten kjennetegnes av hyppige vekslinger mellom type aktivitet og intensitet. Hoveddelen av barnas fysiske aktivitet oppstår i barnestyrt lek utendørs sammen med andre barn. Barnestyrt aktivitet har høyere intensitet enn voksenstyrt aktivitet, og intensitetsnivået er høyere ute enn inne. Det høye gjennomsnittlige aktivitetsnivået er i tråd med Aktivitetsskolens målsetning angående fysisk aktivitet. Samtidig er det store individuelle forskjeller, noe som kan tyde på at Aktivitetsskolen ikke lykkes med å stimulere til fysisk aktivitet for de minst aktive barna. Resultatene leder mot en anbefaling om økt pedagogisk kompetanse blant ansatte med tanke på tilrettelegging for fysisk aktivitet. Dette er spesielt viktig for barn med lavt aktivitetsnivå. I tillegg må AKS-ansatte ha tid og mulighet til å være til stede i barnas aktiviteter.
English abstract
This article is based on a study of 20 second-graders’ physical activity during a day in the After-School Program in Oslo. The results show that among the children studied, the average physical activity level is relatively high. The children’s activity is characterized by frequent changes in type of activity and intensity. The majority of children’s physical activity occurs in self-managed play outdoors together with other children. The self-managed physical activity is of higher intensity than the adult organized andthe intensity level is higher outdoors than indoors. The high average level of physical activity is in accordance with the aims of the After-School Program in Oslo. However, there are large individual differences. This may indicate that the After-School Program fails to promote physical activity for the least active children. The results lead to a recommendation for increased pedagogical competency among employees considering facilitating physical activity in After-School Programs. This is particularly important for children with low level of physical activity. In addition, the employees must have time and opportunity to be present in children’s activities.

Published: June 2020

A fim de obter informações acerca dos possíveis impactos no regime dos campos de precipitação e no regime de temperatura nas regiões hidrográficas brasileiras em decorrência do aumento das emissões de gases de efeito estufa, este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar as projeções resultantes de nove modelos participantes do Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX), considerando os cenários representative concentration pathways (RCP) 4.5 e RCP8.5 para o século XXI. Os modelos utilizados foram: Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis – Canadian Earth System Model (The second generation) (CCCma-CanESM2), Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (version Mk3-6-0) (CSIRO-Mk3-6-0), Irish Centre for High End Computing – European Community – EARTH (ICHEC-EC-EARTH), Institut Pierre Simon Laplace – 5 Component Models version A – Medium Resolution (IPSL-CMSA-MR), Model for Interdisciplinary Research on Climate version 5 (MIROC5), Hadley Center Global Environment Model version 2 – Earth System (HadGEM2-ES), Max Planck Institute – Meteorology – Earth System Model (MPIM-ESM), Norwegian Climate Centre – Norwegian Earth System Model version 1 – Medium resolution (NCC-NorESM1-M) e National Oceanic and AtmosphericAdministration – Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory – Earth System Model version 2M (NOAA-GFDL-ESM2M). Foram analisadas as anomalias e a tendência dos campos de precipitação e temperatura médias anuais no período de 2006 a 2095. Todos os modelos projetaram aumento da temperatura em todas asregiões. Para o cenário RCP8.5, a anomalia da temperatura indicou aumento de até 1,58ºC na região hidrográfica amazônica. A precipitação também pode aumentar em algumas regiões hidrográficas. A mediana das anomalias sugeriu aumentos entre 10 e 30% no Atlântico Leste, Atlântico Nordeste Ocidental,Atlântico Nordeste Oriental, Paraguai, Parnaíba, Tocantins-Araguaia e São Francisco. Anomalias negativas foram identificadas no sudeste e principalmente no sul do Brasil, indicando reduções na precipitação. O teste de Mann-Kendall-Sen sugeriu uma possível intensificação no regime de precipitações anuais em grande parte das regiões hidrográficas, exceto as do Atlântico Sul, Paraná e Uruguai. Em ambos os cenários, o teste apontou ausência de tendência na região do Atlântico Sul pela maioria dos modelos. Todos os modelos apresentaramtendência positiva significativa para a temperatura nos dois cenários e em todas as regiões. A maior e a menor tendência de aquecimento foram observadas no norte e no sul do país, respectivamente.

Published: June 2020

Much research has been carried out around the development of alternative
materials with the most varied purposes aiming at a positive contribution to the
environment through the use of solid waste. Among these solid contaminants,
the one produced in industrial effluent treatment stations, such as tanneries,
stands out, where leather processing has a negative environmental impact,
since the chemicals used in the treatment of raw materials, including
chromium salts, have a high degree of toxicity. These residues can be used
in the manufacture of alternative materials to promote the reduction of the
environmental impact generated by them. Therefore, this study aimed to
verify the feasibility of incorporating waste produced in a tannery effluent
treatment station, known as “leather powder”, in a polymeric matrix of
recycled polypropylene in the proportions of 10 and 20%, by means of
making specimens by extrusion and injection processes. The specimens
were analyzed in relation to the mechanical tests of tensile strength and
Izod impact. The specimens containing 10 and 20% of leather powder had
their resistance increased by 2.10 and 7.65% with respect to traction, 9.7 and
24.59% with respect to impact, respectively. The homogeneous distribution
of leather powder particles in the polymeric matrix may have contributed
to the increase in mechanical strength. This homogeneity was verified by
the morphological analyzes. Thus, it is feasible to insert leather powder in
recycled polypropylene in the proportions of 10 and 20%, presenting itself as
a solution for the proper disposal of these residues, thus having a favorable
contribution to the environment.

Published: June 2020

Less is known about the undergraduate nursing students’ ability to conduct beginning research. This study aims to explore and describe nursing students' experiences in planning and implementation of community health fairs; and utilizing evidence based practice integrated with research as a learning outcome. The study using a quantitative and descriptive design was conducted by senior nursing students during diverse community health events as a part of Gerontological nursing clinical. The students utilized three fall assessment tools: Balance and Gait test, Timed Up and Go test, and 10-year Fracture Risk Calculation. A total of 74 students participated in seven community health fair events focused on Fall Prevention. This health fair event was in conjunction with the National Fall Prevention Awareness week. A total of 201 older adults were served during the event by nursing students who provided screening process and related health education. Data were gathered and a group of students volunteered to complete the research process. The students participated in oral presentation in the Annual University Research Student Symposium and had poster presentation in the professional academic conference. Early systematic organized planning of the clinical experience gives students opportunity to integrate evidence based practice into research. Application of varied evidence based assessment tools focused on older adults enables students to understand the health issue in depth and the need for additional services. Health fair experiences improve students’ communication and education skills, reality of health issues of the target population in a community, and evidence based research.

Published: June 2020

Objective: Type 2 Diabetes affects approximately 10% of the population in the United States. Diabetes is associated with acute and long-term complications are more severe. Studies are providing a correlation between better self-care actions and a reduction of undesired diabetes outcomes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the implementation of a diabetes self-management education (DSME) program on glycemic control that was expected to improve staff knowledge and diabetes outcomes.Methods: This study conducted a quality improvement design. Providers and nursing staff in three primary care clinics were recruited. Diabetes Knowledge Test (DKT) and HbA1c were measured pre and post intervention.Results: Data from 15 staff participants were analyzed. The mean score for the pre-test was 81% while the mean score for the post-test was 87%. A paired t-test revealed t = 1.533, df = 3.998 and p = .160. The HbA1c percentage mean over 6 months decreased by 0.02% and subsequently in 3 months by 0.17%. The Friedman rank sum test was used to compare the differences, χ2(2) = 14.79, p < .001. Post-hoc analysis identified a statistical significance in the HbA1c from implementation to post implementation.Conclusions: There was an increase in the percent score in the provider and nursing staff knowledge after implementation of the DSME program. A decrease in percent change of the HbA1c was identified over the three- month implementation period. This study demonstrated that the implementation of a DSME program may contribute to improved glycemic control.

Published: June 2020

Problem/Significance: Nurses may not be required to engage in professional development; however professional development has been identified as a factor to improve leadership competence, confidence, decision making, and clinical practice. Specifically, nurses who participate in professional development education improve their leadership characteristics. This study will evaluate the leadership behaviors of frontline nurses participating in professional development compared to those who were not.Methods: A convenience sample of 248 staff nurses employed in the North East region of the United States responded to the descriptive observational study design. The subjective responses to the Leadership Practice Inventory® (LPI) and demographic variables were analyzed.Results: Clinical ladder nurses scored higher on all subscales of the LPI than did nurses not on the clinical ladder. Unit-based clinical champions scored highest on the LPI regardless of the clinical ladder level or participation.Conclusions: Professional development in the form of education, certification, preceptor programs, leadership development clinical ladder programs, and unit-based champions should be considered in order to improve patient outcomes.
Examination of Teachers’ Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge: A Western Regional Perspective of China’s Compulsory Education System
Authors: Gou Minghan , Liu Dongfang , Wang Zhengqing
Published: June 2020

Educational technology can provide many advantages for teaching and learning. However, the regional disparity is a well-known result of imbalanced development in China, and the understanding of Western teachers’ technological competence is incomplete. This study utilized the Technology, Pedagogy, Content Knowledge Framework (TPACK) in order to examine the overall status and influence of gender toward teachers’ technological competence in Western China. The survey method was employed to understand the participants (n = 361) perception of their level of TPACK. The results showed that teachers’ pedagogy knowledge and content knowledge were perceived as the highest among the seven types of knowledge examined. All types of technology-related knowledge were perceived as the lowest. Examination of gender influences showed that males perceived significantly higher levels of pedagogy knowledge, technology knowledge, and technological content knowledge. These findings contributed preliminary evidence of the status of teachers’ TPACK in Western regions of China and suggested that additional policies and initiatives should be targeted toward improving all teachers’ technological competence, particularly among female teachers in the compulsory education system.

Published: June 2020

Increasing demand for Moringa stenopetala suggests that great opportunities exist for a supply-side response amongst rural smallholder farmers, especially in Southern Ethiopia. It needs evidence to understand whether or not smallholders farmers participate or if they benefit from participation in these new market opportunities. This study analyzes the welfare impact of smallholder farmers’ participation in Moringa market (measured in terms of crop income, per-capita annual consumption expenditure and per capita daily calorie intake) in Segen area people zone of Southern Ethiopia. Cross-sectional data from 385 randomly selected smallholder farmers were used in the analysis. Endogenous Switching Regression(ESR) model that accounts for selection bias was used in impact assessment. This was further expanded with the generalized propensity score (GPS) approach to evaluate the effects of level of market participation on the response of the outcome variables. Results from ESR shows that demographic, institutional, socio-economic, and market factors affect participation decision and welfare of the farm households. Overall, Moringa market participation have a positive and significant impact on rural farmers welfare, with substantial differencial impacts between groups. Results from GPS, also shows the same as the welfare of the households has increased with the level of Moringa market participation. Policies aimed at reducing the transaction costs of accessing markets, promoting the tree via different medias, working on rural institution capacity building, encouraging and assisting Moringa associations, designing appropriate support from different stakeholders, encouraging market linkages among diverse market players, and providing farmers with the chance of attending basic education are critical to the improvement of household welfare.
Digital Development of Slovenian Wood Industry
Authors: Kropivšek Jože , Grošelj Petra
Published: June 2020

he research examined the digital development of the Slovenian wood industry, especially the implementation of the concept of Industry 4.0 into practice. Within this, the implementation of specific technological pillars was studied, with the emphasis on smart factories and smart, innovative products. In the empirical part of the research, we prepared a survey and interviewed selected managers and entrepreneurs. We compared answers regarding sub-sectors, the size of the companies and the level of digitalization. The general results show that around half of the surveyed companies are already implementing the Industry 4.0 concept into their businesses, while the rest are beginners when speaking about digitalization. The biggest obstacles to the implementation of the concept are the high investments in equipment and the lack of financial support from the state. The lack of digital competencies, which is especially prevalent among older workers, is another major barrier that businesses face. Only 30 % of the surveyed companies are engaged in the production of smart products. We can conclude that digitalization in the Slovenian wood industry is still at a relatively low level, but with the latest strategic orientations at both the state and business level, this situation will certainly improve in the near future.

Authors: Zardini Filho Carlos Eugênio
Published: June 2020

Objetivo: Este estudo analisou a agência britânica de esporte alto desempenho, UK Sport, oferecendo uma visão detalhada de elementos de governança e sua evolução. Ademais, algumas práticas da agência britânica são comparadas com ações da entidade pública brasileira SNEAR.Método: Utilizou-se um design descritivo e exploratório por meio de um estudo de caso. O procedimento de coleta de dados é caracterizado como pesquisa documental.Relevância: Há uma necessidade contínua de se entender melhor os sistemas esportivos de alto rendimento. Em outro prisma, organizações frequentemente moldam suas estruturas, abordagems e estratégias baseando-se em “concorrentes”. Nos últimos 50 anos, o recente sucesso esportivo do UK Sport pode ser entendido como o mais relevante referente a esportes de elite. Além disso, estudos envolvendo benchmarking ainda são incipientes no Brasil.Resultados: Influenciado pelos Jogos Olímpicos de 2012, a UK Sport evoluiu rapidamente se tornando uma organização mais profissional. Sua evolução profissional foi guiada por aspectos complementares de governança, ou seja, mais e melhor qualificados funcionários, uma composição de Conselho mais “empresarial”, uma nova estrutura organizacional, processos transparentes de recrutamento, mais recursos financeiros disponíveis e investimentos sendo feitos através de metas e critérios estratégicos. Ademais, as administrações duradouras que lideraram a UK Sport forneceram a estabilidade necessária para se implementar mudanças ao longo dos anos.Contribuições: O estudo apresentou algumas idéias que podem ajudar a SNEAR a melhorar suas práticas de governança. Especialmente, um primeiro passo relevante seria publicar seu planejamento estratégico, usando como exemplo o foco estratégico do WCP da UK Sport, sem atletas e esportes não-Olímpicos/Paraolímpicos e menos atletas e esportes Olímpicos/Paraolímpicos recebendo apoio financeiro.

Por um lado a exploração turística do Parque Nacional do Iguaçu, e por outro a exploração turística da hidrelétrica de Itaipu, responsável pela geração de energia elétrica. Ainda é possível notar o fortalecimento de áreas de caráter turístico por iniciativa da esfera pública, através da definição de zonas específicas para o desenvolvimento turístico pelo Plano Diretor Municipal.Contribuições teóricas/metodológicas: A pesquisa evidencia a relação entre urbanismo e turismo através da análise do Plano Diretor de Foz do Iguaçu, demonstrando a importância do planejamento urbano estar vinculado e integrado ao planejamento turístico, como forma de desenvolver a cidade como um todo.
Tuberculosis surveillance and its discontents: the ethical paradox
Authors: Bayer R. , Fairchild A. L. , Zignol M. , Castro K. G.
Published: June 2020

In June 2017, the World Health Organization issued the Guidelines on Ethical Issues in Public Health Surveillance. Using the frame of public health ethics, the guidance declared that countries have an affirmative duty to undertake surveillance and that the global community had an obligation
to support those countries whose resources limited their capacity. The centrality of TB surveillance has long been recognized as a matter of public health practice and ethics. Nevertheless, contemporary global realities make clear that TB surveillance falls far short of the goal of uniform
notification. It is this reality that necessitated the paradoxical turn to research studies that require informed consent and human subjects' ethical review, the very burdens that mandated notification were designed to overcome.
Upholding ethical values and human rights at the frontier of TB research
Authors: Stillo J. , Frick M. , Cong Y.
Published: June 2020

Until recently, human rights have played a minor role in the fight against tuberculosis (TB), even less so in TB research. This is changing, however. The WHO's End TB Strategy and Ethics Guidance stress respect for human rights and ethical principles in every area of TB care, including
research. The desired reductions in TB incidence and mortality are impossible without new tools and strategies to fight the disease. Yet, little suggests that the current state of TB research—including funding levels, evidence being produced, and community involvement—will alleviate
concerns related to the availability, accessibility, and acceptability of TB diagnostics, drugs, and prevention in the near future. In this article, we consider these ethics concerns in relation to the right to enjoy the benefits of scientific progress and the right to health. We also reflect
on community involvement in research and offer recommendations in the spirit of the rights to health and science, such as involving affected communities in all aspects of research planning, execution, and dissemination. Finally, we argue that states have a responsibility under international
law for the continued realization of the right to health. This realization rests, in part, on the realization of the right to science.
5-Fluorouracyl – frakcja wdychalna.
Metoda oznaczania w powietrzu na stanowiskach pracy
Authors: Bonczarowska Marzena , Brzeźnicki Sławomir
Published: June 2020

5-Fluorouracyl (5-FU) w temperaturze pokojowej występuje w postaci białego lub bezwonnego proszku. 5-FU jest jednym z najczęściej stosowanych cytostatyków, wykazującym silne działanie w przypadkach nowotworów układu pokarmowego a zwłaszcza w przypadku raka jelita grubego. Zawodowe narażenie na 5-FU (przez skórę lub drogą inhalacyjną) dotyczy głównie pracowników służby zdrowia oraz osób zatrudnionych przy produkcji tego leku. Narażenie na 5-FU tymi drogami może skutkować uszkodzeniem szpiku kostnego, negatywnym wpływem na układ sercowo-naczyniowy oraz w przypadku kontaktu ze skórą podrażnieniami skóry i reakcjami alergicznymi.
Celem pracy było opracowanie i walidacja metody oznaczania stężeń 5-fluorouracylu w powietrzu na stanowiskach pracy w zakresie od 1/10 do 2 zaproponowanej wartości NDS, zgodnie z wymaganiami normy europejskiej PN-EN-482. Do badań wykorzystano zestaw do wysokosprawnej chromatografii cieczowej z detekcją spektrofotometryczną. Rozdziałów chromatograficznych dokonywano przy użyciu kolumny analitycznej XTerra C-18 o wymiarach 150 × 2,1 mm, o uziarnieniu 3,5 µm, którą wymywano mieszaniną acetonitrylu i wody z dodatkiem kwasu mrówkowego.
Metoda polega na zatrzymaniu obecnego w powietrzu fluorouracylu na filtrze z włókna szklanego, ekstrakcji filtra za pomocą mieszaniny acetonitryl:woda z dodatkiem (0,1%) kwasu mrówkowego i chromatograficznej analizie otrzymanego roztworu. Zaproponowany sposób ekstrakcji 5-FU z filtrów umożliwia wysoki odzysk analitu. Średnia (dla trzech stężeń) wartość współczynnika odzysku wynosi 0,93. Zależność wskazań detektora UV-VIS w funkcji stężeń 5-FU ma charakter liniowy (r=0,999) w zakresie stężeń od 0,052 do 2,6 μg/ml. Obliczone granice wykrywalności i oznaczania ilościowego wynoszą odpowiednio 0,007 i 0,022 µg/ml.
Zastosowanie w oznaczeniach detektora UV-VIS oraz kolumny XTerra pozwala na selektywne i specyficzne oznaczenie 5-FU w obecności innych leków cytostatycznych. Metoda zapewnia możliwość oznaczenia 5-FU na poziomie 0,00014 mg/m3 tj. na poziomie 1/25 obowiązującej wartości NDS. Opisana w Załączniku 1 w formie Przepisu Analitycznego metoda, spełnia wymagania normy PN-EN-482 stawiane procedurom oznaczania czynników chemicznych.

Under Section 5, Subsection 5 of the Regulation of the Minister of National Education of August 9, 2017, on conditions for organizing education and care for children and adolescents with disabilities, children and adolescents who are socially maladjusted, and children and adolescents who are at risk of social maladjustment, children with disabilities are granted equal access to education in mainstream schools as well as to curricula, methods, and organization of instruction that are adapted to their psychophysical abilities and provided within an inclusive education model. Many researchers who analyze the conditions for successful inclusion of students with disabilities in mainstream school argue that assistive technology can help these students overcome a lot of barriers they encounter in inclusive settings, thus giving them a chance of a significantly higher level of academic performance and social functioning. This paper explains what assistive technology is and provides a review of available solutions in the area of technological support for students with visual impairments, hearing impairments, communication disorders, and mobility disabilities. It also analyzes the use of assistive technology in working with students with disabilities in a diverse school setting from the point of view of challenges facing teachers and the whole environment supporting students with disabilities.

Authors: Ito Márcia , Pereira Débora
Published: June 2020

O modelo GRPC (Gestão do Relacionamento do Paciente Crônico) usa os conceitos de CRM (Customer Relationship Management) na gestão do relacionamento entre o paciente e seu médico para melhorar a assistência médica. Porém, coordenar as atividades de assistência (coordenação de cuidado) realizadas pelos profissionais que atendem o paciente (time de cuidado) é tão importante quanto aumentar o acesso do paciente aos serviços de saúde. Assim, estendeu-se o modelo GRPC para comportar a gestão do relacionamento do time de cuidado: um ambiente colaborativo que ajude a coordenar a assistência dos pacientes, usando e compartilhando a informação por todo o time de cuidado, o paciente e seus familiares.

Published: June 2020

Giriş: Behçet hastalığında (BH) nörolojik tutulum nadir olsa da, morbiditenin ana nedenlerinden biridir. Bu çalışmada Nöro-Behçet hastalığının (NBH) klinik ve radyolojik özelliklerinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır.

Yöntemler: Ocak 2011- Aralık 2017 tarihleri arasında nöroloji kliniğinde NBH tanısı alan 22 hastanın demografik ve klinik özellikleri retrospektif olarak gözden geçirilmiştir.

Bulgular: Hastaların yaş ortalaması 39.18±12.25 olup, erkek/kadın oranı 1 idi. Nörolojik tutulum gelişimine kadar geçen ortalama hastalık süresi 8.95±4.28 yıldı. 20 hastada (%90,9) parankimal santral sinir sistemi (SSS) tutulumu mevcutken, 1 hastada (%4,5) parankim dışı SSS tutulumu ve 1 hastada (%4,5) periferik sinir sistemi tutulumu mevcuttu. Parankimal tutulumu olan 20 hastanın 16’sında (%80) beyinsapı, diensefalon ve/veya bazal gangliyon tutulumu mevcutken, 9 hastada (%45) hemisferik tutulum, 1 hastada (%5) meningial tutulum ve 3 hastada (%15) spinal kord tutulumu mevcuttu. 1 hasta enfeksiyon nedeni ile kaybedildi. 21 hastanın 16’sının (%76,1) 3. Ay takip verisi mevcuttu. 5 hastanın nörolojik muayenesi normal (%31,25), 1 hastada (%6,25) sadece duyusal bulgular mevcut, 7 hastada (%37,5) belirti ve bulgularda kısmi düzelme olup mobilize iken, 3 hasta (%18,75) ağır sekelle immobildi.

Sonuç: BH’da nörolojik tutulum farklı klinik tablolar şeklinde ortaya çıkabilmektedir. NBH’da yüksek morbidite ve mortalite riski, erken ve doğru tedavinin önemi akılda tutularak BH olan hastaların nörolojik belirti ve bulguları dikkatle değerlendirilmelidir.

Published: June 2020

Amaç: Multiple Sklerozis (MS) otoreaktif T lenfositlerin miyelin antijenlerine karşı gösterdiği reaksiyon sonucu ortaya çıkan otoimmün bir hastalıktır. Fas-FasL yolağı T hücre apoptozisinde önemli bir rol oynamaktadır ve otoimmun hastalıklarda Fas-FasL yolağında defektler olduğu bilinmektedir. Bu çalışmada FAS -670 A/G ve FASLG -844 T/C fonksiyonel gen polimorfizmleri ile serum sFas ve sFasL düzeylerinin MS gelişimine ve hastalığın patogenezine katkısının araştırılması amaçlanmıştır.

Yöntemler: Çalışmaya 108 MS hastası ve kontrol grubu olarak da 98 sağlıklı birey dahil edilmiştir. FAS -670 A/G ve FASLG -844 T/C polimorfizmlerinin belirlenmesi için PCR-RFLP tekniği kullanılmıştır. sFas ve sFasL düzeyleri solid fazlı sandviç ELISA kiti kullanılarak ölçülmüştür.

Bulgular: MS hastalarında FAS -670 AG genotipi frekansı (%55,55) sağlıklı kontrollere (%72,44) göre düşük (p=0.014), GG genotipi frekansı ise hasta grubunda (%19,44) sağlıklı kontrollere (%3,06) göre anlamlı derecede yüksek bulundu (p = 0.0001). Hasta ve kontrol grupları arasında FASLG -844 T/C polimorfizmi açısından anlamlı bir fark bulunamadı (p > 0.05). Serum sFasL düzeyleri MS grubunda, sağlıklı kontrol grubuna göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir şekilde yüksek bulunmakla (p = 0.015) birlikte, sFas düzeyleri gruplar arasında benzer bulundu (p = 0.705). FAS - FASLG polimorfizmleri ile serum sFas - sFasL düzeyleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunamadı.

Sonuç: Sonuçlarımız FAS -670 AG genotipinin MS riskini azaltarak (RR = 0.475, p = 0.014) koruyucu bir rol oynayabileceğini, GG genotipinin ise MS ile ilişkili güçlü bir risk faktörü (RR = 7.644, p = 0.0001) olabileceğini, serum sFasL düzeylerindeki artışın ise bu faktörün MS patogenezine katkı sunabileceğini gösterebilir.

Published: June 2020

: SARS-CoV-2 is a novel infectious agent that rapidly spread from a single city in China to all parts of the world. Right now, the world is facing a major pandemic crisis and every infected patient can infect the other two to three persons. The non-specific symptoms at the early stages of coronavirus 2019 (Covid-19) and also the presence of infected asymptomatic patients result in the absence of accurate estimation of infected patients. Although coronaviruses often affect the upper or lower respiratory tract, viral shedding in plasma or serum can occur and therefore, there is a theoretical risk regarding the transmission of these viruses by transfusion. Experience with other viruses from the corona family group (SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV) tells us that Covid-19 might have a significant impact on blood supply. Until now, SARS-CoV-2 has not been identified as a transfusion transmissible virus and viremia has only been diagnosed in serious patients who would not be allowed for blood donation. In this review article, the safety of blood products during the Covid-19 outbreak is discussed.
