Background

All life on earth has adapted to the effects of changing seasons. The general and ESKD populations exhibit seasonal rhythms in physiology and outcomes. The ESKD population also shows secular trends over calendar time that can convolute the influences of seasonal variations. We conducted an analysis that simultaneously considered both seasonality and calendar time to isolate these trends for cardiovascular, nutrition, and inflammation markers.

Methods

We used data from adult patients on hemodialysis (HD) in the United States from 2010 through 2014. An additive model accounted for variations over both calendar time and time on dialysis. Calendar time trends were decomposed into seasonal and secular trends. Bootstrap procedures and likelihood ratio methods tested if seasonal and secular variations exist.

Results

We analyzed data from 354,176 patients on HD at 2436 clinics. Patients were 59±15 years old, 57% were men, and 61% had diabetes. Isolated average secular trends showed decreases in pre-HD systolic BP (pre-SBP) of 2.6 mm Hg (95% CI, 2.4 to 2.8) and interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) of 0.35 kg (95% CI, 0.33 to 0.36) yet increases in post-HD weight of 2.76 kg (95% CI, 2.58 to 2.97). We found independent seasonal variations of 3.3 mm Hg (95% CI, 3.1 to 3.5) for pre-SBP, 0.19 kg (95% CI, 0.17 to 0.20) for IDWG, and 0.62 kg (95% CI, 0.46 to 0.79) for post-HD weight as well as 0.12 L (95% CI, 0.11 to 0.14) for ultrafiltration volume, 0.41 ml/kg per hour (95% CI, 0.37 to 0.45) for ultrafiltration rates, and 3.30 (95% CI, 2.90 to 3.77) hospital days per patient year, which were higher in winter versus summer.

Conclusions

Patients on HD show marked seasonal variability of key indicators. Secular trends indicate decreasing BP and IDWG and increasing post-HD weight. These methods will be of importance for independently determining seasonal and secular trends in future assessments of population health.

Tolerance is one of the important values of the French education system that is brought up at school. Transferring values is the mission of the school along with the transfer of knowledge and skills. The need for fostering tolerance in French school students is driven by the current political and socio-economic situation in France. The rise in manifestations of intolerance, violence, xenophobia, racism in society has led the state to take active steps in public education, in particular, to introduce such a compulsory subject as moral and civic education. The purpose of the article is to highlight the experience of fostering tolerance in French secondary schools in the context of the school subject of "moral and civic education". The process of education of tolerance through the prism of moral and civic education is considered in the article. By analyzing the content of the curriculum, as well as methods such as synthesis, generalization, systematization, structural method, the basic approaches to the education of tolerance, the corresponding principles of moral and civic education, as well as the components by which the introduction of tolerance to the students of French schools are highlighted.

Educating tolerance in French secondary schools is a systematic, ongoing process organized at the state level. It is implemented, inter alia, through the teaching of the compulsory subject of "moral and civic education", which covers all students from elementary to high school. Education of tolerance is carried out in accordance with the principles of moral and civic education (principle of autonomy, principle of discipline, principle of coexistence, principle of community) and is based on the values of the French Republic.

According to the principles of moral and civic education, the following approaches to the cultivation of tolerance have been identified: sensitive, normative, cognitive and practical. Each of these approaches has different components, such as sensitivity, judgment, law and rule, obligation and responsibility. They find their practice in the subject of "moral and civic education".

At the present stage of the development of the Ukrainian state, which is the stage of active modernization of the education system, special attention should be paid to the revival, restoration of everything pedagogically valuable that has already been accumulated by mankind. In view of this, the article analyzes the contribution of native pedagogues (Feofan Vyshenskyi, Ioann Serhiiev, Ivan Uspenskyi, Serhii Rachynskyi, Vasyl Zenkovskyi) to the development of issues of teacher preparation for the upbringing of the younger generation.

To reach the goal, the following methods of scientific cognition were used: general scientific (analysis of scientific sources, synthesis, generalization and systematization of collected material), historical (comparative and historical, structural and systematic, retrospective, actualization) and chronological updates.

The analysis of the works of Feofan Vyshenskyi, Ioann Serhiiev (Kronshtadtskyi), Ivan Uspenskyi, Serhii Rachynskyi, Vasil Zenkovskyi suggests that these teachers paid great attention to the issues of preparing the form teacher to the organization of educational activities with students. According to the pedagogues, the leading qualities that a teacher should have include: the presence of a vocation, which is manifested even before joining the teaching specialties by students; honesty; justice; thorough preparation for every lesson; constant self-improvement; availability of scientific knowledge necessary for the professional activity; continuous improvement of every next lesson; trying to make lessons more engaging, understandable and accessible; love for children, which does not end even when the students are ungrateful, do not appreciate the good attitude and abuse the teacher’s love, etc.

It has been found that the analyzed works regarding the preparation of the teacher for organizing the educational activity of the younger generation are notable for the harmony of pedagogical ideas of past years with the present, namely: the development of a child should correspond to his or her physical and spiritual abilities, natural abilities; the upbringing of a child cannot be linked with his or her physical and moral abuse; upbringing is a multidimensional process carried out by educators, teachers, parents, etc.; the education process should be carried out by specially trained people.

The article analyzes the peculiarities of preparation of womankind for the spiritual and moral education of the young generation in the orthodox monasteries of Ukraine in the XIXth – at the beginning of the XXth centuries. During the study we used: historical methods (historical-typological, historical-structural, chronological, retrospective), which allowed to trace the development of the issues under study in the specified period; general scientific (analysis, synthesis, systematization, comparison, generalization) in order to find out the degree of the study of the mentioned problem; comparative-semantic, which made it possible to compare the content, forms and methods of preparation of womankind for spiritual and moral education of students in the orthodox monasteries of Ukraine in the studied period.

It has been established that spiritual and moral education was carried out with the obligatory observance of religious orthodox principles in all educational institutions of the Russian Empire (as well as in the Ukrainian territories that were part of it) in the XIXth – early XXth centuries. The purpose of education and upbringing in the schools at the monasteries was to form a spiritual and moral personality who believes in the divine creation of the world, honors everything created by God.

The analyzed issues of preparing women for the spiritual and moral education of the younger generation are notable for the harmony of pedagogical ideas of past years with the present, namely:

spiritual and moral education should be based on the orthodox principles; effective organization of spiritual and moral education is promoted by such forms of extra-curricular work as: literary evenings, vocal and literary morning perfomances, exhibitions, excursions, school magazines and newspapers; it is pedagogically expedient to use such methods of education as: persuasion, positive example, reminding, instruction, request, warning, inurement (strengthening of will), encouragement (rewards) and punishment in organizing the spiritual and moral education of students.

It has been proved that the content, forms and methods of spiritual and moral education of the students in the monastic schools of the mentioned period were generally progressive. In particular, the curricula clearly defined the amount of knowledge from each discipline in the academic years, tasks and educational goals of each course were specifically formulated, methods of studying the course were revealed. The educational process was built on the principles of clarity and accessibility, consistency and taking into account the age characteristics of children.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the definition of the key category of the research, which is artistic and productive activity of a senior preschooler. The scientific analysis of the degree of the problem development has been carried out by specialists. It is stated that the formation of competencies of the child’s artistic and productive activity is considered as a priority of the state educational policy. This activity type is the basis of the child’s overall development, influences on the solving of the tasks of all areas of education. In the course of the research the psychological basis of the concept under study has been determined. In particular, attention is drawn to the scientific generalizations of L. Vyhotskyi. It is noted that the activity of a senior preschooler is an active process of interaction of a child with the outside world. Therefore, artistic and productive activity at this age is becoming widely used. In the article, based on the analysis of the scientific works of V. Vorozhbit, the valuable aspect of artistic and productive activity of the child has been highlighted.

It is specified that the basis of artistic and productive activity is the creation of a word picture. The world picture in this context is a characteristic of the creative thinking of the artist. It is also stated that the word picture is a kind of summary of this thinking, embedded in the artistic product. In artistic and productive activities, the word picture also manifests itself as the perception and experience of its viewer, reader, listener. The word picture is as an aesthetic, holistic and concrete form of reflection of the real world.

The article emphasizes that the educator provides guidance, directs the child to life success, productive activity. The analysis of the research materials has showed that the essence of artistic and productive activity is the use of artistic means. Forms of the expression of artistic and productive activity occur at the intersection of other activities: productive, artistic, subject and practical, artistic and creative, technical, artistic and aesthetic. The result of artistic and productive activity is the final product, which influences the formation of vital competence, permeates all directions of education.

The novelty of the definition of "artistic and productive activity" is provided by an integrative approach in defining the essential components. The author states that productive activity is the process of creating the final material product (drawing, plasticine craft, building construction of s). The process of creation involves the construction of an image which includes thinking, imagination, memory. Productive activities include visual and constructive.

Hexagonal braiding technology is a kind of state-of-the-art braiding method, which uses hexagonal horngears to driveyarn carriers and make yarns intertwined into fabrics. In terms of hexagonal braiding principles, the braiding parameterslike initial arrangement of yarn carriers, yarn number and horngears sequence were defined, and then the movementpaths of yarn carriers in hexagonal braiding process and stitch length were obtained, which could be converted intocoordinates on the xoy plane and the coordinates along z-axis. In that case, a group of spatial coordinates were got tocreate the yarn trajectories and fabric structures in Matlab. And then, B-spline curve was utilized to fit the yarntrajectories. Considering the compactness of hexagonal fabric, the coordinates conversion algorithm and conversionmatrix were utilized to optimize the fabric structure, so a more compact fabric structure was established. The braidingangle variation and volume fraction of fabric showed that after coordinates conversion the braiding angles became morestable than original fabric model, and the fiber volume fraction of fabric was improved too. So the fabric structure modelwas available to describe hexagonal fabric structure, which can offer the reference for the further study on properties ofhexagonal braiding technology and application of hexagonal braided fabric

Catheters designed for chronic peritoneal dialysis have Dacron cuffs meant to protect the patient against bacterialinfection and catheter migration that may lead to a high peritonitis rate in case of extensive use. Peritoneal catheter isfixed by suturing the skin with a non-absorbable monofilament thread ranging from 4/0 to 2/0. The two types of suturesmost commonly used are Roman sandal and Chinese fingertrap. In this study we selected 44 dogs, both males andfemales with CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) undergoing peritoneal dialysis. We have created two groups: first group(A) of 22 patients were treated using a peritoneal catheter for chronic treatment, with Roman sandal suture and thesecond group of 22 patients (B) were treated using a peritoneal catheter for chronic treatment, with Chinese fingertrapsuture. All patients from group A kept the catheters until the end of the treatment (22 out of 22, 100%). Eight out of14 patients (36.36%) from group B needed secondary suture. Four out of the eight patients (18.18%) form the group Bneeded secondary suturing because of the suture weakening. Three out of the eight patients (13.63%) form the groupB needed secondary suturing of the catheter because of the skin rupture at the initial placement spot of the suture. Oneof the eight patients (4.54%) form the group B needed secondary suturing of the catheter because of the catheterreplacement, due to the weakening of the suture and its lack of resistance to the aggression manifested by the patients

Published: February 2020

Background: The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Calls to Action ask that those who can effect change within the Canadian healthcare system recognize the value of Indigenous healing practices and support them in the treatment of Indigenous patients.

Methods: We distributed a survey to the Canadian Rheumatology Association membership to assess awareness of Indigenous healing practices, and attitudes informing their acceptance in patient care plans.

Results: We received responses from 77/514 members (15%), with most (73%) being unclear or unaware of what Indigenous healing practices were. Nearly all (93%) expressed interest in the concept of creating space for Indigenous healing practices in rheumatology care plans. The majority of support was for the use in preventive or symptom management strategies, and less as adjuncts to disease activity control. Themes identified through qualitative analysis of free-text responses included a desire for patient-centered care and support for reconciliation in medicine, but with a colonial construct of medicine, demonstration of an evidence bias, and hierarchy of medicines.

Conclusions: Overall, respondents were open to the idea of inclusion of Indigenous healing practices in patient’s car plans, emphasizing importance for patient empowerment and patient-centered care. However, they cited concerns that provide the indication for further learning and reconciliation in medicine.
Urban Tissue of Traditional Chinese and Southeast Asian Port Cities: The Influence of Maritime Trade
Authors: Wang Han , Jia Beisi
Published: February 2020

In the process of urban development and regeneration, a city always gradually derives multiple morphological characteristics from its original single form. The transformation of urban form can be viewed as representation of consequence of overlapping of cultural attributes, an urban quality which is often ignored by property developments. This paper addresses that culture is a starting point to analyze traditional urban forms of Chinese and Southeast Asian traditional port cities. On the one hand, it analyzes their urban morphological characteristics focusing on the urban tissue level, which can reflect a process of urban evolution based on multi-culture brought by the ancient maritime trade. On the other hand, four port cities with similar cultural attributes including Quanzhou and Guangzhou in China, Hanoi in Vietnam and Malacca in Malaysia are analyzed comparatively to demonstrate their morphological differences and similarities. Based on the analysis of the two aspects, the paper recovers the relationship between cultural attributes and urban morphology, as well as some universal and special rules of urban development.

Social Autonomy and Decision Making in L2 Group Work
Authors: Feick Diana
Published: February 2020

This article presents an investigation into the socio-interactional nature of learner autonomy in language learning groups. The study is situated in the context of a mobile phone video project with 13 Mexican adult learners of German as a foreign language (GFL). The aim was to examine autonomy, heteronomy and participation in L2 classroom negotiations in a group work situation. These constructs have been shown to be highly influential in second language learning in an institutional context (Little, 2000; O’Leary, 2014; Schmenk, 2008; Thornbury, 2011). Decision-making episodes of three project groups were examined from an interactional, participational and sequential point of view. The analysis offered both an etic and an emic perspective on L2-group negotiation processes and allowed for the detailed reconstruction of collective and cooperative participation mechanisms.

Autonomy and Reflection on Practice in a Self-Access Language Centre
Authors: Tassinari Maria Giovanna
Published: February 2020

The present paper illustrates some structures and processes established in order to make the Centre for Independent Language Learning, a self-access language centre (SALC) at the Freie Universität Berlin, an autonomous and autonomy fostering learning and working environment. Since the SALC staff is mainly composed of student assistants, one of the aims of the SALC manager is to foster the student assistants’ autonomy and their reflection on practice by giving them spaces for decision-making and personal initiative, supporting them in keeping track of their work, asking critical questions, planning, implementing and evaluating their projects and thus helping them to develop as professionals while actively contributing to a reflective practice at the SALC.

As a part of the reflection on practice process, a survey among the student assistants was conducted, to gather data about the student assistants’ perspective on their experience at the SALC, their perception of autonomy, their overall evaluation of their work as well as comments and suggestions for further development of the SALC. While reflecting on ways to manage the SALC at the Freie Universität Berlin, the present paper intends also to contribute to the more general discussion on how to evaluate the impact of self-access language centres.

Malnutrition is an important issue in hospitalized patients. Poor nutrition may lead to increased risk of morbidity and death, impaired mental and physical conditions, apathy, depression, self-neglect, increased risk of medical complications, increased risk of pressure ulcers, reduced immune response, delayed wound healing, longer hospital stays, and reduced quality of life. However, few studies have investigated malnutrition in psychiatric patients. Psychiatric patients are known to have an increased risk of malnutrition, but psychiatric hospitals rarely conduct physical examinations and nutritional assessments. In this preliminary study, patients from a psychiatric ward of the Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital were chosen using the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool. We used the before-and-after analysis to test the effect of a nutrition intervention on the selected parameters. We found that patients who had an impaired nutritional status showed significant increases in body weight (mean: 43.6 ± 7.5 vs. 46.5 ± 8.2 kg; P < 0.001), BMI (mean: 16.8 ± 2.0 vs. 17.9 ± 2.1 kg/m2; P < 0.001), and total calorie intake (mean: 1128 ± 230 vs. 1378 ± 320 Kcal; P < 0.001). Nutritional intervention significantly improved body weight, BMI, and total calorie intake. Nutritional intervention may help prevent malnutrition and improve the management of psychiatric patients.
