Authors: Yuniar Yuni , Pahlevi Muhammad Reza , Hoerniasih Nia
Published: October 2021

Recently the ability to English speaking is very necessary since English has become a foreign language in Indonesia. A correct speech is become crucial to avoid misunderstanding conveying the information to the listener. Therefore, teaching English speaking is very necessary to the teacher in improving the students’ speaking skills. The main reason why learning to speak English is very difficult for the students is because students often use the Indonesian language (mother tongue) as the main language and are not accustomed to speaking in English in their daily life. One of the alternatives technique that can be used by the teacher is using tongue twister. The aims of this study is to explore about what are the problems that faced by the students while learning English speaking in Tongue Twister assisted. The classroom action research is a method that conducted in this research. There are two Cycles in this research and both of cycles showed of 77.14% of students has obtained a score of 75 and 77.13%. This result shows that the students have met the success criteria of the research and the students actively participate in the teaching and learning processes during English-speaking class.
“Intensive” verbal prefixes in Archaic Latin
Authors: Bertocci Davide
Published: October 2021

The goal of this paper is to give a brief outline of the synchronic conditions which trigger the emergence of aspectual values in Latin verbal prefixes. In particular, I will show that such a possibility is not the result of bare semantic effects, lexicalization of idioms or compounding strategies; rather, aspectual preverbation crucially has to do with syntactic factors, namely the argument structure of the verb, the prepositional character of the prefixes, and the interactions between those components.
Видовые приставки в языковом контакте (на материале молизско-славянского, резьянского и верхнелужицкого микроязыков)
Authors: Breu Walter , Pila Malinka , Scholze Lenka
Published: October 2021

This paper deals with Slavic micro-languages in situations of absolute language contact with German (Upper Sorbian, Burgenland Croatian) and Italian (Molise Slavic, Resian). The Slavic way of forming aspectual pairs has been preserved throughout, whereas aspect usage has changed. The behaviour of prefixes in borrowings varies according to the individual contact situations: Sorbian and Burgenland Croatian form prefixed partners even from loan verbs in contrast to Resian and Molise Slavic, borrowing telic verbs as perfectives and forming their imperfective partners by means of suffixation.
On the dynamism of aspectual pair formation in Czech
Authors: Esvan François
Published: October 2021

This paper aims to analyze the relationship between. perfectivisation and secondary imperfectivisation in Czech. Recent data show for loan verbs a strong tendency, after a short phase of biaspectualism, towards the creation of aspectual pairs through perfectivisation, e.g. bukovat - zabukovat (to book). This step does not necessarily conclude the process, since secondary imperfectives like zabukovávat are also frequent. This development is in opposition to the tendency towards the elimination of secondary imperfectives, which characterized the historical evolution of the Czech language (Šlosar 1981).
Аспектуальные антиномии в русском языке (на славянском фоне)
Authors: Petruchina Elena V.
Published: October 2021

This article discusses some antinomies concerning the category of verbal aspect in Russian, which generate apparent contradictions on a theoretical level. Special attention is paid to Russian aspectual pairs (considered in a cross-Slavic perspective). I focus on antinomies applying to different ways of expressing the aspectual semantics of verbs (lexical, grammatical and derivational), as well as on rules regulating the use of perfective and imperfective verbs. Our study confirms the need to distinguish between lexical and grammatical limits of action in a theory of Slavic aspect.

The rule of two in Radiology: An Update
Authors: Abdulwahab Alahmari
Published: October 2021

There are 10 rules used in medicine/radiology that taught to students so they can remember certain points that they have to do to have an accurate diagnosis. These rules are:-

1- Two views: One view is too few;
2- Two joints: Above and below the injured bone;
3- Two sides: Compare with the other normal side;
4- Two abnormalities:Find a second abnormality;
5- Two occasions: Compare the current x-ray with a previous one (especially in CXR);
6- Two visits: Repeat after an interval or a procedure;
7- Two opinions: Ask for a second opinion or use the red dot system;
8- Two records: Write down the radiographic and clinical finings;
9- Two specialists: Get a radiology report;
10- Two examinations: Ask for CT, MRI, US, NM, etc.
Umowa o praktyki absolwenckie i umowa o staż uczniowski – charakter prawny
Authors: Nycz Maciej Aureliusz
Published: October 2021

Niedawno na mocy nowelizacji prawa oświatowego w prawie polskim pojawił się nowy typ zobowiązaniowej umowy pozakodeksowej ‑ umowa o staż uczniowski. Jest ona bardzo podobna do umowy o praktykę absolwencką.
Łączna analiza regulacji umownej w kontekście wydobycia różnic i podobieństw pozwala na przedstawienie obowiązków i praw stron w kontekście cywilnoprawnej metody regulacji. Praktyka i staż są niepracowniczymi formami zatrudnienia, bardzo podobnymi do umowy o pracę, a jednocześnie ‑ do umowy o świadczenie usług. Uprawnia to do stosowania niektórych przepisów w drodze analogii legis. Wskutek przyjęcia niepracowniczego charakteru zatrudnienia, przepisów prawa pracy nie stosuje się poza niektórymi wyraźnie wskazanymi przez ustawodawcę. W tym kontekście zwrócić uwagę należy na większą elastyczność czasu pracy na umowie o staż, która wiąże się jednak z wykonywaniem jej wraz z nauką w szkole, której czas wlicza się do dniówki. Umowa o staż zapewnia także większe bezpieczeństwo w pracy, ze względu na szerszy katalog niedozwolonych prac.
Praktykant i uczeń (osoba wykonująca staż uczniowski) są szczególnie określonymi stronami umowy, ale ich pozycja jest relatywnie słaba. Wyrównanie pozycji odbywa się poprzez kwalifikację „słabszych: stron stosunku praktyki i stażu jako konsumentów i  przyznanie im prawa koalicji w związkach zawodowych ( ograniczonego de facto do umów odpłatnych).
Ustawodawca przewidując niektóre, wskazane w artykule instytucje sankcjonuje nierówną pozycję praktykantów i uczniów, doprowadzając do rozpowszechnienia praktycznej nauki zawodu w warunkach rzeczywistych. Taką instytucją jest m.in. świadczenie pieniężne, którego regulacja jest osobliwa i posiada luki prawne. Podobnie orzec trzeba o regulacji wieku praktykanta.

The Covid-19 pandemic has decreased the revenue of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), including the laundry business. Marketing efforts to increase revenue have also encountered obstacles, ranging from technical problems to cost constraints. This Community Service is aimed at a laundry in Cipta Asri Batam housing. The purpose of this Community Service activity is to foster laundry SMEs so that they can continue to exist by creating various marketing techniques and innovative products. The creation of superior and innovative products is expected to increase turnover. These superior products will be marketed using social media, given the government's health protocol. This service was organized by a team of lecturers and students from the Management and Information System Programs at the University of Putera Batam. The team from the management program coaches management and marketing, while the team from the information systems guides the field of using informatics systems in improving SME marketing and productivity. The involvement of students in this service activity is educational where students can learn directly from the field but also could provide guidance according to the knowledge that has been obtained. Coaching materials focus on marketing, business management, and the use of informatics systems. The activity was carried out in two meetings attended by the object of the event and the surrounding community. It is hoped that this service activity would be able to add insight for partners and be able to help empower partners in a better direction.

Published: October 2021

El desarrollo de asignaturas experimentales basadas en la elaboración de informes grupales de forma colaborativa conlleva una carga de trabajo. Se propone una nueva metodología basada en la asignación de un líder o portavoz de grupo, evaluando su efecto sobre las calificaciones. Se observa una ligera mejoría en las prácticas mayor dificultad, y se disminuyen las incidencias o retrasos de las entregas de los informes, percibiendo por tanto una mejoría notable. Esta metodología, valorada positivamente por los estudiantes, exige que todos los integrantes del grupo se comuniquen con los profesores y se responsabilicen de que la entrega sea manera satisfactoria.
Marketing Agroalimentario: Una aproximación al uso de las nuevas tecnologías en el sector
Authors: Martinez Navarro Gema , De Garcillan Lopez-Rua Mencia
Published: October 2021

El sector agrario español es consciente de que durante los próximos años, con el gran número de empresas productoras, la importante reducción de los márgenes de venta y el creciente poder de las cadenas de distribución, irá teniendo lugar una selección natural de las entidades agrarias que seguirán desarrollando su actividad. Los cambios en la comercialización agraria se su-ceden a gran ritmo y se hace necesario aplicar estrategias para hacer frente a la incesante competencia, no sólo a la que tenemos dentro de nuestras fronteras sino también fuera de ellas. Las empresas agrarias desarrollan su actividad en un entorno altamente competitivo, por lo que se hace necesario que, además de mejorar sus sistemas para adaptarse al cliente y al mercado, establezcan y apliquen nuevas estrategias para hacer frente a su competencia. Las empresas agroalimentarias deben darse cuenta de la necesidad de estar más cerca del cliente si no lo quieren perder, y una forma ágil, fácil, de conseguirlo es a través de las nuevas tecnologías. Las nuevas tecnologías van a contribuir a vender sus productos sin intermediarios, directamente en el origen, llegar a mercados lejanos, informar a los clientes y posibles clientes de todo lo relacionado con su empresa, marca, productos, recomen-daciones... y establecer una relación directa y constante con tu cliente, y podrán recoger información muy valiosa para su estrategia de mercado.
El efecto curvilíneo del capital relacional en el desempeño financiero de la empresa: evidencia de México
Authors: Cernas Ortiz Daniel Arturo , Mercado Salgado Patricia
Published: October 2021

El capital relacional de una empresa consta del conocimiento que se encuentra incrustado en sus relaciones con entidades ajenas a ella. Diversas corrientes de investigación han proporcionado hallazgos divergentes sobre el posible efecto del capital relacional en el desempeño ﬁnanciero de la empresa. Construyendo sobre la teoría de la fortaleza de las relaciones sociales débiles, en esta in-vestigación se hipotetiza, y se encuentra, que el capital relacional tiene un efecto curvilíneo-invertido sobre la rentabilidad empresarial. En otras palabras, que la rentabilidad es más alta a niveles medios que a niveles bajos o altos de capital relacional. También se encuentra que la experiencia entre una empresa y aquéllas entidades con las que se relaciona modera tal efecto en forma parcial. La prueba empírica de esta investigación se realiza con una muestra de 29 empresas mexicanas que cotizan en el mercado de valores y que llevaron a cabo al menos una alianza estratégica o una joint venture durante los años 2000 y 2005.
Los nuevos sistemas de información en la gestión universitaria.: El caso de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea (UPV/EHU)
Authors: Ibarloza Ander , Malles Eduardo , Díaz De Junguitu Alberto
Published: October 2021

De la misma forma que el sistema de educación superior español viene evolucionando, impulsado por el proceso de homogeneización de las titulaciones en los distintos estados europeos, proceso que conduce también hacia la armonización de la metodologías docentes, los sistemas de in-formación y de gestión de las universidades se han ido adaptando, igualmente, a las nuevas necesidades de la comunidad universitaria y del resto de sus stakeholders. De forma muy especial, los gestores universitarios demandan una información más acorde a los cambios estratégicos y organizativos ac-tualmente en marcha, en especial tras la puesta en marcha de los nuevos planes de estudio y la obli-gatoriedad de contar con un Sistema de Garantía Interna de Calidad. Se presentan en este trabajo tanto las herramientas de información y gestión de la calidad tradicionalmente utilizadas como algunas de las que se están implantando en la actualidad en la UPV/EHU, y en particular en sus centros universi-tarios y titulaciones, orientadas todas ellas a que los responsables universitarios puedan disponer de información más relevante para su toma de decisiones.
Neurociencia y caos en la gestión organizacional
Authors: Sutil Martín Lucía , Miret Torremocha Mónica
Published: October 2021

La teoría del caos, la ciencia de la complejidad y los principios de la física cuántica se están utilizando como metáforas para explicar la evolución actual de la dirección y gestión de empresas. Los principios de Taylor y Fayol sobre la gestión y liderazgo empresarial están siendo cuestionados como consecuencia de los eventos económicos, financieros y sociales ocurridos a comienzos del siglo XXI. Fenómenos como la innovación tecnológica que lleva al acortamiento de los ciclos de renovación, la velocidad de los cambios, la globalización, la hipercompetitividad, una economía cada vez más conectada y la actual incertidumbre hace necesario replantearse la forma en la que entendemos la dirección y gestión organizacional. Tomando el enfoque de la teoría del caos y los nuevos descubrimientos en el campo de las neuroimágenes aplicados a la gestión y dirección de empresas, se propone un modelo teórico de gestión organizacional así como nuevas habilidades que los líderes empresariales deberían desarrollar para dirigir con éxito su organización y equipo.

Authors: Perossa Mario Luis
Published: October 2021

El trabajo propone acercar la temática de la necesidad del aprendizaje organizacional como medio de la mejora continua, pero por sobre todo integrar el concepto de aprender a aprender como opción del cambio y evolución de la organización hacia sus fines de mediano y largo plazo. En primer lugar se realiza una recopilación de las principales ideas desde la administración para luego agregar al trabajo las teorías psicológicas de cognición dual, buscando la integración y adecuación de los conceptos antes mencionados. El marco metodológico utilizado para este trabajo es la recopilación de papers de psicólogos que han trabajado en el comportamiento económico y de académicos de las ciencias económicas realizando investigaciones sobre economía conductual por una parte y de temas de aprendizaje organizacional en administración por otra, complementada con la visión desde la educación. Es en esencia un trabajo descriptivo que intenta ofrecer respuestas en el marco de la exploración académica, dentro de los mapas conceptuales propios de la cultura latina, en especial provenientes de la crítica Latinoamericana.

Authors: Rodríguez Ocaña Leticia , López-Hernández Eduardo Salvador , Rodríguez Luna Ana Rosa , Mandujano Contreras Juan Carlos
Published: October 2021

La comunicación es un fenómeno social en constante dinamismo sujeta a los cambios de pensamientos, con efectos que la misma dinámica del proceso provoca en los individuos o grupos. Los supuestos concernientes a problemas socio-ambientales logran estudiarse bajo un enfoque educativo y de comunicación, al partir de conocimientos adquiridos. Nuestro estudio está referido a la comunidad indígena chontal, ubicada en Olcuatitán, Nacajuaca, en el estado de Tabasco. Se aplicó un Modelo General de Educa-ción para el Desarrollo Humano Sustentable, cuyos resultados se comunicaron como parte de un proyecto con la finalidad de formar a los grupos para que sean capaces de proponer posibles soluciones a su problemática socio-ambiental. Revertir los conoci-mientos sistematizados de los saberes ambientales y otros tópicos en la comunidad chontal posibilitó diseñar diversos proyectos educativos, culturales y de sustentabilidad. La comunicación con medios masivos, específicamente mediante programas radiofóni-cos, implicó facilitar y divulgar las acciones concernientes a conservar el entorno por la sociedad. El uso de un medio como la radio, nos permitió difundir nuestra filosofía, las acciones diversas de gestión y de protección ambiental, entre otras, por medio de cápsulas y entrevistas; mientras que en otros medios comunicamos resultados y reflexiones hacia la ciudadanía para el buen uso de los servicios ambientales. Además, llevamos a cabo exposiciones itinerantes en escuelas primarias e interculturales, congresos acadé-micos, conferencias, publicaciones y socializaciones en redes a través del internet.
Pain Abdomen as a Presentation of Congenital Malrotation of Gut: A Case Series
Authors: Shah Syed Sajid Hussain , Khan Yousaf Aziz , Aalia Bibi
Published: October 2021

Malrotation of the gut can present at any age but the majority of patients present in neonatal period or early infancy. Most children present with a history of recurrent colicky abdominal pain, vomiting which can be bilious and failure to thrive. Delay in diagnosis leads to increase in mortality and morbidity. Here we present a series of three patients, one girl aged 6 years, one 10 months old boy and one 10 years old boy, who got admitted at our Pediatric Department in a one month period. Patients had a history of recurrent abdominal pain and occasional vomiting, seen and managed by multiple paediatricians and GP doctors with extensive diagnostic workup but never the accurate diagnosis was made. Thorough history was taken and examination done, planned work up done for diagnosis. High index of suspicion is needed in children presenting with recurrent pain in the abdomen. Targeted work-up should be done and patients be kept on follow-up for diagnosis of late presentation of congenital malrotation of the gut.
Gardens in “Trilistniks” (trefoils) by I. Annensky (on “real” and symbolic meaning of the image)
Authors: Shevchuk Yulia V.
Published: October 2021

The development of garden space at Annensky contributes to an understanding of the individual symbolism of the poet and the principles of organizing semantic unity of the “Trilistniks” (trefoils). In the first trilistniks, the subject occupies an ambivalent position of attraction and repulsion in relation to the garden space (flowers, birds, earth). The intensity of color and smell, as well as the principle of contrast, oxymoron, are important in the description. The garden refers to biblical mythology (“Trefoil of temptation”). Nature is renewed, and man cannot get rid of the burden of the “evil” past and the idea of inevitability of death (“Sentimental trefoil”). Observing the phenomenon of light and shade in the garden, the lyrical “I” thinks about the existence of the world simultaneously outside and inside a man (“Lunar trefoil”). The garden in the “Trefoil of doomness” dedicated to the perception of time is a closed space, “the door is clogged there.” Gardens are gradually growing dim, become flatter, empty and move inside the consciousness of a lyrical subject (sleep, nonsense, fiction). The flowers on the window, the dead garden and the sky are perceived as solid, frozen surfaces (“Ghostlike trefoil”). The image of the garden takes on fantastic features: the old manor is placed in the space of a fairy tale (“Trefoil from the old notebook”), shadows in the garden turn into ghosts of the past and are condensed (“Spring trefoil”). “Trefoil of the loneliness,” the last in the series, is dedicated to the issue of alienation of a modern man from natural world and people, the bright image of the garden (lilacs, sun, bees) is located outside the personal space of the “I.”
Yu. A. Sidorov and Mystical Anarchism (on the basis of lifetime publications)
Authors: Savelov Vjacheslav V.
Published: October 2021

Based on two only lifetime publications, the paper examines the history of Yu. A. Sidorov`s (1887–1909) perception and discussion of ideas of the “mystical anarchism”. In the almanac Chrysopras (1906) Sidorov published two poems that were obviously influenced by the slogans of this movement. I study parallels between these debut poems and the texts of authors related to the movement, in particular, between the poem Dreamer, you sent a revelation to the world… and Georgy Chulkov's article On the confirmation of personality (1906). The study proves that a number of young writers (not only Yu. Sidorov, but also V. Grigoriev, E. Kazakov) were striving to declare their solidarity with slogans of the moment on the pages of the almanac Chrysopras, ideologically close to the Moscow Vesy. In the second lifetime publication, his review (Russkaya Mysl, 1, 1909) on the book of essays by Chulkov The Cover of Isis (1908), Sidorov showed new sharply critical and subverting attitude to the movement. I try to find the reason for Sidorov's new skeptical position to these principles and slogans. The paper showed it to be the poet’s disappointment with the results of the 1905–1907 revolution and his turn towards monarchist sentiments, with subsequent support of the ideology within symbolism that was promoted by the Moscow magazine Vesy. The author pays particular attention to the parallels between Sidorov's polemic attacks against Chulkov and similar invectives against him by the Vesy magazine collaborators (Zinaida Gippius, Andrey Bely, Boris Sadovskoy, etc.)
Open-air museums of folk architecture: overview of creation and development in Russia
Authors: Gaiduk Maria Y. , Klimenko Alexander I. , Khramtsov Alexander B.
Published: October 2021

The paper provides an overview of the domestic experience of creating ethnographic museums in the open air. It traces stages and chronological periodization of the foundation of such museums in the world and studies historical conditions for the creation of open-air museums in Russia. The first experience of creating such a museum was demonstrated at the All-Russian Agricultural and Artisanal-Industrial Exhibition in Moscow in 1923. In the park-museum of Kolomenskoye village near Moscow, monuments of wooden architecture of the 17th–18th centuries were placed. For the first time, this paper comes up with a comprehensive classification of the open-air museums according to various grounds: the status of the museum complex (federal, regional, local), the specificity of the exposition, the architectural and urban planning principle of the organization; the principle of organizing the exposition and others. The study determined that most of the open-air museums are concentrated in the central part of Russia. The authors also explored potential for developing an open-air museum in the Tyumen region. The experience and examples of the functioning of museums allow for developing give “ground” for the development of ethnographic museums in all regions of the country. The creation of this complex is interesting not only from the point of view of implementing educational function for the population, but also in terms of developing the region's economy — the creation of the most diverse tourist product (landscape — architecture — ethnography).
How full is the glass? A perspective on women in medical leadership in Canada
Authors: Osler F. Gigi
Published: October 2021

What do we really know about the representation of female physicians in medical leadership in Canada? Female representation on the current boards of the Canadian Medical Association and provincial/territorial medical associations is 23% and 40%, respectively. Identified barriers to female medical leadership include gendered organizational and workplace culture, gender bias, inflexible work practices, unequal childcare and domestic responsibilities, and biased performance assessment criteria and recruitment practices. Identified enablers include flexible tenure policies, systematic parental leave policies, greater inclusivity in the workplace, and formal mentorship structures. More has been written about the costs of leadership for female physicians rather than the benefits.
EVALUATION OF THE LEVEL OF SHADOW ECONOMY IN LITHUANIAN REGIONS
Authors: Remeikienė Rita , Gasparėnienė Ligita , Yorulmaz Özlem , Schieg Martin , Stasiukynas Andrius
Published: October 2021

The article addresses a topical issue which is extremely relevant in crisis periods – evaluation of the level of the shadow economy in all Lithuanian regions. By applying the MIMIC modelling, three equations were developed for three different periods: economic upturn, economic downturn (crisis) and economic recovery. The number of immigrants, employment rate and population’s density were identified as the major shadow economy determinants in Lithuanian regions. The determinants identified are unique in the case of Lithuania because they reveal that the labour market (employment rate, the number of immigrants) and population’s density are the key factors that show how municipalities address the issues of the shadow economy. 10 municipalities with respectively high or low levels of the shadow economy were ranked for each period under consideration. The maps developed for different periods illustrate the general trends of the evolution of the shadow economy. This is the first study that estimates the size of the shadow economy in 60 municipalities (a small regional division) with different economic periods taken into account. Scientific novelty manifests through consideration of the regional shadow economy and proving significance of the labour market and immigration in reducing regional disparities.
NGC 147 Corroborates the Break in the Stellar Mass–Stellar Metallicity Relation for Galaxies
Authors: Zhuang Zhuyun , Kirby Evan N. , Leethochawalit Nicha , de los Reyes Mithi A. C.
Published: October 2021

The stellar mass–stellar metallicity relation (MZR) is an essential approach to probing the chemical evolution of galaxies. It reflects the balance between galactic feedback and gravitational potential as a function of stellar mass. However, the current MZR of local dwarf satellite galaxies (M
* ≲ 108
M
⊙; measured from resolved stellar spectroscopy) may not be reconcilable with that of more massive galaxies (M
* ≳ 109.5
M
⊙; measured from integrated-light spectroscopy). Such a discrepancy may result from a systematic difference between the two methods, or it may indicate a break in the MZR around 109
M
⊙. To address this question, we measured the stellar metallicity of NGC 147 from integrated light using the Palomar Cosmic Web Imager. We compared the stellar metallicity estimates from integrated light with measurements from resolved stellar spectroscopy and found them to be consistent within 0.1 dex. On the other hand, the high-mass MZR overpredicts the metallicity by 0.6 dex at the mass of NGC 147. Therefore, our results tentatively suggest that the discrepancy between the low-mass MZR and high-mass MZR should not be attributed to a systematic difference in techniques. Instead, real physical processes cause the transition in the MZR. In addition, we discovered a positive age gradient in the innermost region and a negative metallicity gradient from the resolved stars at larger radii, suggesting a possible outside-in formation of NGC 147.
Role of Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio as a Predictor of Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome in Blunt Abdominal Trauma Following Emergency Laparotomy in Sanglah General Hospital, Denpasar
Authors: Purnamantara I Made Dwi , Wiargitha I Ketut , Mahadewa Tjok Gede Bagus
Published: October 2021

BACKGROUND: Abdominal trauma, both blunt and penetrating abdominal trauma, is the third most common trauma, which is about 10% after head trauma (30%) and chest trauma (20%). Trauma has an influence on the balance of the immune system. The excessive inflammatory response can trigger systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). The ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes acts as a marker of the inflammatory response in both surgical and non-surgical patients.

AIM: The purpose of the study was to predict the incidence of SIRS using neutrophils-to-lymphocytes ratio (NLR) in patients with blunt abdominal trauma undergoing emergency laparotomy.

METHODS: This study is an observational analytic study with a prospective design which was carried out at the emergency room, intensive care unit, Sanglah Hospital, Denpasar, Surgery for 1 year from January 2019 to December 2019, involving 59 research subjects with the consecutive sampling method who is met the inclusion and exclusion criteria.

RESULTS: The area under the curve value obtained an NLR sensitivity of 87.1% with a cutoff point of 5.25. In the path analysis, it was found that NLR was the dominant factor and had a positive effect of 43.9% (p < 0.001) on SIRS.

CONCLUSION: NLR is expected to be used as a reference to predict the incidence of SIRS in blunt abdominal trauma following laparotomy emergency.

Published: October 2021

BACKGROUND: Diarrhea is the particular disease that still affects children in Indonesia, with rotavirus being the most common etiology among children under 5 years old. Rotavirus and non-rotavirus diarrhea can spread to the extraintestinal and localized to the liver which causes liver cell damage, thus, the level of the glutamic oxaloacetic and glutamic pyruvic transaminase enzymes increases. AIM: The objective of the study was to prove that there are differences in serum levels of glutamic oxaloacetic and glutamic pyruvic transaminase in children with acute diarrhea due to rotavirus and non-rotavirus infection. METHODS: This study used a cross-sectional design, the research subjects were children aged 6 months old until 60 months old with acute diarrhea in Denpasar Public Health Center, Sanglah, and Wangaya General Hospital within the period of March 2018 until March 2021. Statistical analysis used the Mann–Whitney. RESULTS: A total of 70 subjects were analyzed in this study. There were 24.28% of subjects with rotavirus. Each group had nearly the same degree of severity of 29.4% for rotavirus and 30.2% for non-rotavirus, with a median of serum levels of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) 47 (19–261) and glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) 25 (7–217). The results of this study showed that the median difference in aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase levels was not significant in rotavirus and non-rotavirus diarrhea (SGOT 45 [16–168], 32 [11–261], p = 0.077; (SGPT 22 [14–91], 18 [5–217], p = 0.12). CONCLUSION: This study concluded that there is a higher median level of SGOT and SGPT in children with acute diarrhea due to rotavirus infection compared to non-rotavirus infection, although it is not statistically significant.

Published: October 2021

Background: Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) is a growing pandemic around the globe that was initially discovered in Wuhan in December 2019. Despite the relatively high incidence of cutaneous manifestations in COVID-19, their role in early recognition and disease progression has not been fully investigated.
Aim of this study: To report the possible incidence of the cutaneous lesion in COVID 19 patients and to describe various cutaneous manifestations and their correlation with other clinical features in Covid-19 positive patients to facilitate diagnosis and prognostications toward this virus.
Methods: This research was conducted as a cross-sectional study. Skin lesions photography and their analysis were collected by dermatologists from 18 cities in Iraq between September 2020 to January 2021. The data were processed using statistical package SPSS version 23.
Results: A total of 3117 confirmed COVID-19 cases were included in this study. Around 268 patients developed skin lesions with age ranged between 8 to 84 years. Of these skin lesions, 46.2% developed during the illness with minority erupting during the prodromal phase, whilst 38.8% appeared after hospitalization. The most common skin lesion was in the form of urticarial 36.74% followed by herpetic lesions 28.4%, maculopapular rash 11.74% and the remainder being candidiasis, oral thrush, chilblains, and other skin conditions. The most affected area was the torso (46%) followed by limbs, face, fingers, and toes.
Conclusion: This study demonstrated the high incidence rate of dermatological lesions in different phases of COVID-19 with urticarial rash being the most frequent clinical pattern.
Strengthening Moral Courage Among Nurse Leaders
Authors: Edmonson Cole
Published: October 2021

Moral distress among practicing nurses is frequently discussed in the nursing literature, along with well-developed recommendations for increasing moral courage in practicing nurses. Implementing these recommendations depends on nurse leaders being morally fit to lead and to create an environment in which moral courage actions can emerge. The literature is lacking pertaining to nurse leaders’ preparation to lead in a morally courageous and transformational manner in our current corporate environments and hierarchies of healthcare. In this article, the author reviews the literature addressing moral distress and moral courage among direct care nurses; describes the development of an intervention to strengthen the moral courage of nurse leaders; reports a study that involved implementing this intervention; presents the findings of this study; evaluates the effectiveness of the intervention; and discusses the findings in terms of lessons learned and future directions. He concludes with a call for healthcare leaders to demonstrate moral courage and create environments that promote morally courageous acts that enable nurses to remain centered on the patients, families, and communities we serve.

Published: October 2021

The concept of care coordination is often touted as the preferred way to streamline care for complex patients. Care coordination is even more popular with the mention of it in the Affordable Care Act of 2010 and with new Medicare payment models. The purpose of this article is to define care coordination, briefly describe trends for older adults and care coordination, and explore roles for registered nurses. We describe elder-appropriate models of care coordination useful for older adults with multimorbidity. A brief exemplar provides an example of evidence-based care coordination services provided by a nursing and social work team, a model supported by recent literature. As a result of this discussion, readers will become informed about possibilities for the future of care delivery and the future of professional nursing practice.
Workplace Discrimination: An Additional Stressor for Internationally Educated Nurses
Authors: Baptiste Maria
Published: October 2021

Discrimination against internationally educated nurses (IENs) remains a seldom-explored topic in the United States. Yet, the literature describing experiences of IENs indicates that some do experience workplace discrimination as an additional workplace stressor. IENs view this discrimination as an obstacle to career advancement and professional recognition. Consequences of workplace discrimination affect IENs’ physical and psychological well being, the quality of patient care, and healthcare organizational costs. In anticipation of future nursing shortages, understanding and minimizing workplace discrimination will benefit nurses, patients, and healthcare organizations. In this article the author addresses motivation and challenges associated with international nurse migration and immigration, relates these challenges to Roy’s theoretical framework, describes workplace discrimination, and reviews both consequences of and evidence for workplace discrimination. Next, she considers the significance of this discrimination for healthcare agencies, and approaches for decreasing stress for IENs during their transition process. She concludes that workplace discrimination has a negative, multifaceted effect on both professional nursing and healthcare organizations. Support measures developed to promote mutual respect among all nurses are presented.
Relationships Between Nurses and Physicians Matter
Authors: Siedlecki Sandra , Hixson Eric
Published: October 2021

Both safety and quality of care patients receive depend upon the quality of the practice environment where care is provided. In this article, the authors review relevant literature, and describe their study that identified how nurses and physicians define respectful behavior; examined perceptions of the relationship between nurses and physicians in clinical settings in which they practice together; and analyzed the impact of nurse-physician relationships on nursing care decisions. Perceptions of nurse-physician relationships were assessed using the Professional Practice Environment Assessment Scale and perceptions of respectful behavior and the effect of physician behavior on nursing practice were assessed with single, forced-choice items. The authors report finding that physicians rated relationships significantly better than did nurses. Additionally, they note that 55% of nurses said that a physician’s behavior impacted nursing decisions, and that younger, less experienced nurses were more likely to report being affected by negative physician behaviors than older nurses or nurses with more experience. They discuss how nurses’ and physicians’ different perceptions of the same environment is not surprising, but is instructive, and conclude that acknowledging differences in values, incentives, and perceptions can provide insights that focus improvement initiatives.
Compter les morts
Authors: Balcázar Melina
Published: October 2021

La mort violente, le travail précaire, la pauvreté font partie du quotidien de la frontière nord du Mexique. C’est à cette mort effroyable, car brutale et quotidienne, que l’écriture contemporaine se trouve confrontée et qui la porte à trouver d’autres dialogues esthétiques et éthiques. Devant cette réalité, la tâche de l’écrivain devrait être, selon l’injonction lancée par l’écrivain chilien Roberto Bolaño, de « savoir mettre la tête dans l’obscur, savoir sauter dans le vide » et écrire minutieusement l’horreur en intégrant document et fiction. À partir des exemples de Roberto Bolaño et Sergio González Rodríguez – qui ont été profondément marqués par cette Frontière qui sépare le Nord du Sud, les riches des pauvres, les hommes des femmes, l’anglais de l’espagnol –, on analyse ici la portée politique de cet acte, obsessionnel et douloureux, de « compter les morts ».

Designers et ergonomes à l’épreuve de la reconnaissance professionnelle : un essai de comparaison entre deux cultures de la conception dans l’industrie française des télécommunications
Authors: Vial Stéphane , Watkin Thomas
Published: October 2021

L’objectif de cet article est d’éclairer la spécificité de deux cultures de conception, celle des designers et celle des ergonomes, en mettant à profit l’exercice de la comparaison pour identifier les caractéristiques de leurs cultures professionnelles respectives. En combinant des données issues d’une intervention de consultance en entreprise et celles issues de plusieurs entretiens réflexifs réalisés après l’intervention, nous cherchons à enquêter de manière originale sur des traits culturels propres à chacun des deux métiers (designer, ergonome), en mobilisant la notion sociologique de culture professionnelle. Dans un premier temps, nous présentons le contexte théorique et professionnel de l’étude de la culture professionnelle pour appréhender la conception des ergonomes et des designers (section 1). Ensuite, la méthodologie dite post interventionnelle décrit les ateliers menés pendant l’intervention et une série d’entretiens post-intervention (section 2). Enfin, nous distinguons trois pistes de résultats sous la forme d’un essai comparatif de la culture professionnelle des deux métiers : des complémentarités malgré une mission commune, un effet de hiérarchie du design par une domination des designers sur les ergonomes, et une représentation de leurs savoirs-faire partagée selon le sens donné à leurs compétences (section 3).
Design Methods and Innovation Projects as Creativity Consultancy
Authors: Henke Niklas
Published: October 2021

Le design apparaît aujourd’hui comme un champ de pratique dont l’intégration peut contribuer à la compétitivité d’entreprises placées au cœur d’injonctions à l’innovation. L’intégration de ces pratiques, des méthodes qui les caractérisent et de l’imaginaire qu’elles véhiculent au sein des organisations, représente une évolution majeure dans laquelle les agences d’innovation jouent un rôle central. Cette contribution propose une mise en perspective des activités de ces agences en termes de Creativity Consultancy. Ces pratiques guidées du design et de l’innovation apparaissent comme constitutives d’une culture de conception spécifique marquée par une forme de domestication de la créativité. Cette rationalisation appliquée aux principes du design contraste avec les pratiques des designers, lesquelles accordent une place centrale à l’intuition et à l’implicite. Cette contribution s’appuie sur un ensemble d’entretiens menés auprès de designers et porteurs de projets d’innovation, sur une enquête en ligne et sur des observations participatives. Elle situe finalement la Creativity Consultancy dans un champ de tension entre son potentiel économique et les défis inhérents à sa gestion, avant de signaler les tendances émergentes et d’en détailler les implications potentielles.
Photographie réflexive et pratiques informationnelles : une méthodologie au service de la complexité
Authors: Aillerie Carine , Mazurier Valentine
Published: October 2021

Cet article questionne les possibles apports méthodologiques et épistémologiques de la photographie réflexive à l’investigation de cet objet intrinsèquement complexe qu’est, en tant que telle, la « pratique informationnelle » (Chaudiron et Ihadjadène, 2010). Cet objet s’inscrit dans un champ de recherche aujourd’hui largement documenté et dans lequel le choix d’une méthode visuelle et participative répond à une volonté d’approcher de plus près l’expérience informationnelle individuelle. Issue de travaux en sciences de l’information et de la communication, la proposition concerne les pratiques informationnelles de collégiens et d’étudiants. Elle s’appuie sur les résultats de deux études distinctes ayant chacune fait le choix de la photographie réflexive, entendue comme la prise de clichés par les participants eux-mêmes et constituant la base d’entretiens individuels d’élicitation (Harrington et Schibik, 2003 ; Bigando, 2013).
Odd characteristic classes in entire cyclic homology and equivariant loop space homology
Authors: Cacciatori Sergio L. , Güneysu Batu
Published: October 2021

Given a compact manifold

M

and a smooth map

g\colon M\to U(l\times l;\mathbb{C})

from

M

to the Lie group of unitary

l\times l

matrices with entries in

\mathbb{C}

, we construct a Chern character

\mathrm{Ch}^-(g)

which lives in the odd part of the equivariant (entire) cyclic Chen-normalized cyclic complex

\mathscr{N}_{\epsilon}(\Omega_{\mathbb{T}}(M\times \mathbb{T}))

of

M

, and which is mapped to the odd Bismut–Chern character under the equivariant Chen integral map. It is also shown that the assignment

g\mapsto \mathrm{Ch}^-(g)

induces a well-defined group homomorphism from the

K^{-1}

theory of

M

to the odd homology group of

\mathscr{N}_{\epsilon}(\Omega_{\mathbb{T}}(M\times \mathbb{T}))

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Operating Characteristics and User Interface
Authors:   Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) Committee
Published: October 2021

Adaptive cruise control (ACC) is an enhancement of conventional cruise control systems that allows the ACC-equipped vehicle to follow a forward vehicle at a pre-selected time gap, up to a driver selected speed, by controlling the engine, power train, and/or service brakes. This SAE Standard focuses on specifying the minimum requirements for ACC system operating characteristics and elements of the user interface. This document applies to original equipment and aftermarket ACC systems for passenger vehicles (including motorcycles). This document does not apply to heavy vehicles (GVWR > 10,000 lbs. or 4,536 kg). Furthermore, this document does not address other variations on ACC, such as “stop & go” ACC, that can bring the equipped vehicle to a stop and reaccelerate. Future revisions of this document should consider enhanced versions of ACC, as well as the integration of ACC with Forward Vehicle Collision Warning Systems (FVCWS).
