‘It's the relationship you develop with them’: emotional intelligence in nurse leadership. A qualitative study
Authors: Mansel Beryl , Einion Alys
Published: November 2019

Aim:

to investigate emotional intelligence (EI) and its relationship to nursing leadership.

Background:

strong, effective leadership is core to organisational competency and significantly influences care quality. EI is the ability to understand one's own feelings and to assess and respond to the feelings of others. It is linked to self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and social skills, all of which are vital in leadership roles. However, insufficient research explores EI in nursing leadership from the perspective of nurse leaders.

Design:

a qualitative study employed interpretive phenomenological analysis methods, using a purposive sample of band 7 sisters/charge nurses/team managers (n=5) from one Welsh health board. Semistructured interviews were recorded and analysed in four stages.

Findings:

four clusters of themes were identified, each with two to three subthemes. These were: sensing others—the empathetic leader; experiencing the affected sense of self; strategies employed to build the team; and reading the flux of the organisation.

Conclusion:

although the nurse leaders were unfamiliar with the concept of EI, their narratives reflected some core values of EI. However, significant barriers around time, pressure and staffing levels impeded their potential to use EI to become more effective leaders. Nurse leaders should harness the power of emotions to influence others to achieve excellent care.
A personal reflection: using theoretical frameworks to understand the impact of starting university on health and wellbeing
Authors: Froud Catherine , Andrewes Tanya
Published: November 2019

This article presents a personal reflection using theoretical frameworks as the basis of understanding multifaceted influences on the personal health of the primary author since beginning undergraduate university degree studies in nursing. It also explores theoretical and lay definitions of health and wellbeing, before analysing influences on health from a personal perspective. This illustrates how understanding, developed through the use of theoretical frameworks, can enable individuals to enhance their own health and wellbeing.
Contemporary considerations relating to health promotion and older people
Authors: Daly Louise , Byrne Gobnait , Keogh Brian
Published: November 2019

Health promotion in later life can support healthy ageing and wellbeing. Nurses across the continuum of care have an important role in promoting positive health and wellbeing messages, but they must be cognisant of the need to engage in, modify and tailor health promotion for and with older adults. This article provides an overview of contemporary issues relevant to health promotion and older people, and the role and contribution of nurses.

Published: November 2019

This work is a systematic study of titanium phosphates compounds Na0.5M0.25Ti2(PO4)3 (M = Mn, Ni), which are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), IR spectrometry, Raman and scanning electron microscopy. Indeed, the crystalline structures of the two compounds were determined in the orthorhombic system, with space group Pmmm (Z = 4); the determined unit cell parameters are: a = 14.59Å, b = 13.31 Å, c = 2.6 Å for Na0.5Mn0.25Ti2(PO4)3, and a = 14.60 Å, b = 13.31 Å, c = 2.67Å for Na0.5Ni0.25Ti2(PO4)3. The structures, compared to that of Li0.5M0.25Ti2(PO4)3, are constructed from [TiO6] octahedra and [PO4] tetrahedra connected by sharing angles along the c axis. The cations M = Mn2+, Ni2+, are located in half of the antiprismatic infection sites and are ordered.
Drawing as a democratic space within higher education, fine and applied arts: Categorization, process, outcome
Authors: Hall Andrew
Published: November 2019

This article tracks the presence, influence of and development of drawing as a creative practice in Higher Education, Art and Design at Central Saint Martins (CSM) University of the Arts London (UAL) since 1896. Connecting to both a historical and a contemporary discourse on the practice of drawing within this institution, the article explores the educational role that drawing has played in the fine and applied arts (in particular, graphic communication design) and its present state of evolution as an embodied practice within an expanded field that is intrinsically and fundamentally linked to the creative process and final creative outcome. Also cited are notable academics, creative practitioners and critical theorists who have made it their goal to open up the practice of drawing as a democratic space for all to participate in, and one can observe this territory through three distinctive, although interlinked, lenses: categorization, process and outcome.
Drawing as research: Correlating skills and practices with surgical training
Authors: Wright Jenny
Published: November 2019

There are highly creative and meticulous elements to both fine art drawing and surgical practices, especially with regard to close observation, use of tools and interaction with materials. Both artists and surgeons have a dynamic, physical interaction with surfaces, as well as an ability to review and select key features from complex structures. Building on my own drawing practice and observations of surgeons' work I have been able to develop a method for comparing and evaluating drawings. Analysing series of images made by students at Kings College Dental Institute, London, I correlated their data from the HapTEL learning system which was used to practice drilling and removing caries from a virtual tooth, and found evidence of a link between drawing aptitudes and a particular surgical skills. My work supports evidence of positive application of arts practices, with the possibility of building future work incorporating drawing and surgical training.
Sex Differences in the Association Between Frailty and Sarcopenia in Patients With Cirrhosis
Authors: Fozouni Laila , Wang Connie W. , Lai Jennifer C.
Published: November 2019

OBJECTIVES:

Frailty is prevalent in patients with cirrhosis and is hypothesized to result in part from sarcopenia, but the precise contribution of sarcopenia to frailty in this population is poorly understood.

METHODS:

Included were patients with cirrhosis from 2011 to 2014 who had an ambulatory frailty assessment and abdominal computed tomography scan within 3 months. Logistic regression assessed the associations between frailty (=Liver Frailty Index ≥4.5), and sarcopenia (=skeletal muscle index of <39 cm2/m2 for women and <50 cm2/m2 for men).

RESULTS:

Two hundred ninety-one participants were included: 33% were female. The median (interquartile range) Liver Frailty Index was 3.7 (3.3–4.2); 19% were frail. The median (interquartile range) skeletal muscle index was 49 cm2/m2 (31–69); 36% had sarcopenia. Among the 54 frail participants, 48% had sarcopenia. In univariable logistic regression, sarcopenia was associated with a 1.86× increased odds of being frail (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.02–3.38). After adjusting for sex, etiology, hepatocellular carcinoma, MELDNa, ascites, encephalopathy, and hypertension, sarcopenia was associated with a 2.38× increased odds of being frail (95% CI, 1.17–4.85). After stratifying by sex and adjusting for MELDNa, sarcopenia among males was associated with a significantly increased odds of frailty (odds ratio 2.81, 95% CI, 1.19–6.67), whereas sarcopenia among females was not (odds ratio 1.38; 95% CI, 0.45–4.25).

DISCUSSION:

In patients with cirrhosis, sarcopenia was associated with a nearly 2-fold increased odds of being frail. Two-thirds of frail men displayed sarcopenia compared with only one-quarter of frail women. Contributors to the frail phenotype may differ by sex and support the need for sex-specific strategies to reduce frailty in this population.

Domini est salus. Gebetspraktische Aspekte in Text- und Bildausstattung des Amuletts Ms Princeton 235
Authors: Hartmann Marie
Published: November 2019

In medieval Europe, Christian amulets comprised of illuminations and/or script were considered powerful apotropaic shields. This article focuses on a single example, Ms Princeton 235. It is argued that this object primarily functions as a prayer aid rather than as a magical object. Comparable to rosaries or prayer nuts, this amulet conveys its assumed protective powers through specific devotional acts. Its textual program prefigures such pious practices, which include carrying the amulet above one’s heart, folding and unfolding it, reciting a profession of faith and the divine names, making the sign of the cross, and contemplatively looking at a miniature showing the Arma Christi. Through an analysis of how the textual and visual features of Ms Princeton 235 prompt devotional practices, its claim to mediate divine grace and power become comprehensible.
Künstliches Licht im Kontext mittelalterlicher Gebetspraxis
Authors: Henkelmann Vera
Published: November 2019

Approaching the interplay of medieval prayer and artificial light, my article shows how artificial light had multiple levels of meaning and functions pertaining to the situation, the subject, and the intention of praying. It served practical purposes such as illuminating and highlighting spaces of prayer, thus enabling the devotees to read. What is more, artificial lighting contributed to orchestrating places of prayer, especially in church buildings, as spaces removed from everyday life, thereby emphasizing the sacredness of liturgical prayers and acts. In this context light also visualized the divine counterpart of prayer and the supernatural par excellence. Furthermore, it enveloped the praying person, who through his baptism regarded himself as a child of light, as it were. The goal of prayer, God’s love and care, seemed to be fulfilled in the here and now and materialized in the light. Artificial lighting was therefore immanent and transcendent at the same time. It communicated the divine and how this reality could reveal itself to human beings in the light – like a medium of salvation.

Befremdungen, Verstrickungen und Beschämungen
Authors: Huf Christina
Published: November 2019

Die response bezieht sich auf die Beobachtungen der Inszenierung von Lam Gods und setzt sich mit dem ethnografischen Beobachtungsprotokoll auseinander, das Birgit Althans zu einer der Szenen geschrieben hat. Verfasst wird diese response aus der Perspektive einer ethnografischen Kindheitsforscherin. Aus ethnografischer Perspektive interessiert Christina Huf insbesondere die Befremdung, die in dieser Szene so weit geht, dass die Ethnografin ihre teilnehmende Beobachtung am liebsten aufkündigen würde. Die Beschreibung der engen Verstrickung der Ethnografin mit dem Geschehenen auf der Bühne macht das Potential der diffraktiven Methodologie von Karen Barad für ethnografisches Beobachten und Schreiben offensichtlich. Die zum Ausdruck gebrachte Befindlichkeit und Empfindsamkeit der Ethnografin deute ich in kindheitstheoretischer Perspektive als eine Irritation der generationalen Ordnung.
Wem gehört das globale Volkstheater?
Authors: Aktaş Ulaş
Published: November 2019

Im Feld der Künste und der Kulturellen Bildung ist die Auseinandersetzung mit Migration und globaler Ungleichheit heute allgegenwärtig. Dies gilt auch für das globale Volkstheater von Milo Rau und seine Inszenierung Lam Gods. Postkoloniale Theorien kritisieren seit geraumer Zeit die unkritische Reproduktion von Prozessen des Otherings in Kunst und Pädagogik (Castro Varela/Dhawan 2009). Im Rahmen der response wird die Kritik postkolonialer Pädagogik an Formen der Repräsentation von Differenz innerhalb des Kunstfelds und der Kulturellen Bildung skizziert und auf der Basis einiger Videoausschnitte und des Materials der Method Labs in Bezug auf die Inszenierung Lam Gods reflektiert. In den Fokus wird die Frage gerückt, wie ein künstlerisch pädagogischer Umgang mit Differenz vor dem Hintergrund globaler Ungleichheit aussehen kann, der die bestehenden Muster kultureller Hegemonie nicht reproduziert?

Notes on cartography and further explanation
Authors: Rizzi Luigi
Published: November 2019

This article addresses one particular aspect of the cartographic enterprise, the cartographic study of the left periphery of the clause, the system of criteria, and the “syntacticisation” of scope-discourse semantics that rich and detailed syntactic maps make possible. I will compare this theoretical option with the conceivable alternative, the “pragmaticization” of a radically impoverished syntax, and will discuss some simple kinds of empirical evidence bearing on the choice between these alternative perspectives. I will then turn to the issue of whether the properties of the functional sequence (ordering, cooccurrence restrictions) are amenable to “further explanations” in terms of more basic principles constraining linguistic computations. I will argue that the search for deeper explanations is an integral part of the cartographic endeavour: it presupposes the establishment of reliable maps, and nourishes the pursuit of further cartographic questions. I will conclude by illustrating the issue of further explanation by comparing certain properties of topicalization in English and Italian, in particular the fact that DP topics are fundamentally unique in English, while they can be freely reiterated in Italian. This pattern can be plausibly traced back to intervention locality, once certain independent properties distinguishing Italian and English topicalization are taken into account.
Quantum chemical studies of selective back-extraction of Am(III) from Eu(III) and Cm(III) with two hydrophilic 1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-bis-triazolyl ligands
Authors: Huang Pin-Wen , Wang Cong-Zhi , Wu Qun-Yan , Lan Jian-Hui , Chai Zhi-Fang , Shi Wei-Qun
Published: November 2019

We theoretically investigated the selective back-extraction towards Am(III) over Eu(III) and Cm(III) with two water-soluble 2,9-bis-triazolyl-1,10-phenanthroline derivatives BTrzPhen1 (with two ethanol side chains) and BTrz-Phen2 (with two 1,2-butanediol side chains) by density functional theory (DFT). The molecular geometries and formation reactions of the metal-ligand complexes were modeled by using M(BTrzPhen)(NO3)3 and [M(BTrzPhen)2(NO3)]2+. Am(III) selectivity over Eu(III) and Cm(III) with BTrzPhen2 was successfully reproduced by back-extraction reaction free energy analysis. Moreover, bonding properties between the metal cations and coordinated ligands (model complexes) were studied in terms of Mayer bond order and quantum theory of atoms in molecule (QTAIM). The difference in covalency between An–N and Eu–N bonds were found to be the key factors for Am(III)/Eu(III) separation, while the Am(III) selectivity over Cm(III) of BTrzPhen2 might be attributed to the competition of donor atoms for cation binding preference toward Am(III) and Cm(III).
Spatially resolved modelling of immune responses following a multiscale approach: from computational implementation to quantitative predictions
Authors: Grebennikov Dmitry S. , Bocharov Gennady A.
Published: November 2019

In this work we formulate a hybrid multiscale model for describing the fundamental immune processes in human immunodeficiency type 1 (HIV) infection. These include (i) the T cell migration in the lymphoid tissue, (ii) the replication cycle of HIV within an infected cell, (iii) the type I interferon (IFN) response of the target cells, and (iv) the spatiotemporal dynamics of the HIV and type I IFN fields. Computational implementation of the hybrid multiscale model is presented. It is based on the use of semi-implicit first-order symplectic Euler method for solving the equations of the second Newton’s law for cell migration and the alternating direction method for the initial-boundary value problem for reaction–diffusion equations governing the spatial evolution of the virus and IFN fields in 2D domain representing the lymph node (LN) tissue. Both, the stochastic and deterministic descriptions of the intracellular HIV infection and the IFN reaction are developed. The potential of the calibrated multiscale hybrid model is illustrated by predicting the dynamics of the local HIV infection bursts in LN tissue.

We consider contractions of lymphatic vessels and their influence on resulting flow in the whole network of lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes. We have investigated flow with zero pressure gradient and have found parameters, which influence the efficiency of contractions most significantly.
Sympathy or Religion? George Eliot and Christian Conversion
Authors: Blumberg Ilana M.
Published: November 2019

Ilana M. Blumberg, “Sympathy or Religion? George Eliot and Christian Conversion” (pp. 360–387)

This essay argues that a postsecular moment requires our return to George Eliot to consider anew the relations between religion and secularity. Looking at her early works, in particular “Janet’s Repentance” (1857) and The Mill on the Floss (1860), I suggest that Eliot offers us a counterintuitive narrative in which her heroines’ ethical transformation coincides with a conversion to Christianity rather than a move away from it. Rather than imagining a thoroughly Christian England revitalized by its turn to humanist religion, Eliot depicts a nominally Christian England, attached to hollow forms and mere custom, in need of conversion to an ardent faith. In these novels, evangelicalism, for all its flaws, functions as the vessel for such conversion when human beings’ own agency fails. I suggest here that what we have construed as sympathy over recent decades of critical reading may be more intelligible if we read it as grace, thus leaving us to reassess the extent to which major mid-Victorian intellectuals sought to conceive a post-Christian ethics.

Tea is well known as favourite healthy drink for almost all people over the world. Tea propagation using conventional and modern ways are now developing rapidly. However, information regarding the protein profile of tissue culture of tea plant has not been revealed yet. This study aimed to determine the difference of protein profile of tea’s tissue culture using SDS-PAGE. This study was conducted using embryonic axes of TRI2025 tea clone cultured on MS media supplemented with 2,4-D for inducing somatic embryogenesis and globular-like structure (GLS) regeneration, and MS media supplemented with BAP for inducing shoot via organogenesis. The results revealed that proteins in the size of 37.69; 54.89; 60.77; 71.35; 87.34; and 92.99 KDa might be involved at somatic embryogenesis, and about 38.69 KDa, 69.27 KDa, and 55.76 KDa respectively for GLS, initiation of shoot, and initiation of GLS derived leaf. Predicted key protein for leaf initiation both directly or through GLS was about 31-33 KDa, while for callusing were about 27.56 and 52.73 KDa, and constitutive protein was about 22.75 KDa. This study provides the first report of protein profile of tea’s tissue culture. The information obtained can be beneficial as a marker for explant for somatic embryogenesis, GLS, or organogenesis pathway and as a scientific information for further biotechnology development.

To overcome with the occurrence of various type of corruption that required a special strategy.In this article, the authors use normative juridical approach method, that is by doing observation and then review and analyze secondary data in the form of legal materials, especially primary law materials and secondary legal materials. The collected data, both qualitatively and quantitatively, is further classified according to the data types. After that, the results of the study are arranged in a systematic and coherent manner, using problem studies that are specific to take the basics of general knowledge. The conclusion will be drawn in response to the issues that raised in this paper.The legislation that has been regulated the reverse evidence of corruption is considered to be ineffective, in several regulationabout corruption, only gratification acts that embrace pure inverse evidence, while others are not purely adherent, whereas the effectiveness of the system of reversal of the burden this evidence is very good if it can be implemented properly and based on strict rules, the problem that concerned in this study is, the contradiction between the presumption of innocence principle and the presumption of guilt principle underlying this evidentiary system.The ideal concept offered in this study is, with the renewal in the setting of the eradication of corruption, and ultimately embraces the reversal of the burden of evidence purely in the corruption trial by considering the concept of equilibrium.

In the journal this time will discuss that question and analyze the appropriate punishment to the perpetrators so that deterrent, analyzes the impact of psychological casualties and challenge what we will encounter when trying to eradicate the case. Cases of sexual abuse have been around some of the last decade and became the most widely performed case, estimated the year 1970 was the initial disclosures of sexual abuse in children. It can be seen from the year the case was started and why we can't stop it the case was there first. Judith Lewis Herman in his book says that children who have become victims of abuse and trauma will tend to do it to others as adults later. It's like a cycle to continues, our task in tackling these cases is finding a way to keep people who have become victims can recover from trauma and break that cycle.

Snacks which are most widely consumed by early childhood are biscuits. The conventional raw ingredients of biscuits are varied with yellow corn starch, which contains beta-carotene. The composition of yellow corn biscuit consists of 50% yellow corn starch, 40% wheat flour, and 10% cornstarch, and butter. The use of butter was varied in 25%, 30%, and 35%. An analysis was conducted on its energy content, protein, fat, and beta-carotene, as well as acceptance. The results of the study showed nutrient content was not entirely different from the use of margarine 25% and 35%, the energy was 441-468 kcal, protein was 6.4 to 7.3%, fat was 18.3 to 21.7%, and beta-carotene 2,721 -4,134 mg. The energy density of corn biscuits was 3.5 - 3.9 g / 1000 kJ. Yellow corn biscuits were considered as high-energy biscuits (> 400 kcal). The organoleptic test of the biscuits in early childhood conducted on all indicators (color, aroma corn, fragrant aroma, and crispness, sweet and savory taste) showed that the biscuits were categorized as likable. The use of different percentage of margarine is not significant concerning the acceptability of biscuits, except for the aspect of the fragrance and sweetness between the use of margarine 30% to 35%. Industrial-scale production is necessary for the dissemination of the consumption of yellow corn biscuits with margarine 35%, in particular for the early childhood

Untreated wastewater of Batik industry can pollute the environment because it contains metal compound, COD, BOD, which are higher than the allowable values. Therefore, a treatment of this wastewater prior discharging to water stream (i.e. river) is very important. This research aims to investigate the use of Teak sawdust as activated carbon, and also the effect of adsorbent concentration, adsorption contact time, as well as coagulation-flocculation-adsorption sequencing process to the level of COD, BOD, and Zn in Batik wastewater. The Batik wastewater used for this research obtained from Batik industry in Rembang, which mostly used naphtol as the coloring agent. The wastewater was initially treated by coagulation-flocculation process, followed by adsorption process. The coagulant-flocculant used in this research was 1 g/L of alum and 3 g/L of lime. Whereas, the adsorbent used was activated carbon made from Teak sawdust with variation of concentrations: 10, 16, 23, and 26 g/L. Whereas, the adsorption contact times were 20, 40, 100, 160, and 220 minutes. The results showed that the coagulation-flocculation process was able to decrease the levels of COD, BOD, and Zn by 73.28%, 73.62%, and 79.21% respectively. Additionally, the adsorption process by activated carbon also further decreased the levels of COD, BOD, and Zn significantly. Based on the results, the optimum concentration of activated that gave the best result was 26 g/L with 220 minutes contact time. Overall, the combination of coagulation-flocculation and adsorption sequencing process was able to decrease the level of COD, BOD, and Zn up to 96.69%, 96.90%, and 91.90% respectively.

The use of detergent predictably causes large quantities of phosphate ion in water bodies. It is considered to trigger eutrophication, that creates a severe reduction in water quality. Adsorption using activated carbon is one of the effective methods for the removal of phosphate from wastewater. Recently, the use of microwave irradiation in activated carbon preparation is a promising alternative to replace conventional heating using a furnace. In this study, the use of microwave heating was compared to conventional heating. The result showed that pore of activated carbon was larger than that of the char and the activated carbon prepared using 30% of ZnCl2 had the adsorption performance higher than that of prepared using 20% of ZnCl2. The optimum adsorption occurred at pH 4 and the equilibrium was reached after 180 minutes. The Langmuir equilibrium model was more appropriate than the Freundlich equilibrium model. While the kinetics model analyzed using pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, internal diffusion, and external diffusion indicated that the pseudo second order was most suitable for the adsorption of phosphate by teak leaf activated carbon.

The diminishing of fossil fuel reserve has raised a consideration on the renewable energy development. Biodiesel is among the promising renewable energy which is feasible for large-scale production. Biodiesel is generally synthesized through the alkaline-catalyst transesterification of vegetable oil. The common catalyst for biodiesel is homogeneous base catalysts which are active but show several drawbacks related to the environmental aspects. Therefore, development of heterogeneous alkaline catalyst for biodiesel production is critical. CaO catalyst is considered a favourable heterogeneous base catalyst for transesterification reaction and it can be derived from various natural resources. In this work, CaO catalyst from eggshell was synthesized from eggshell waste. To improve the catalyst activity, CaO was combined with ZnO active metal, resulting ZnO/CaO catalyst. In this research, the development, characterization, and application of ZnO/CaO catalyst for waste cooking oil (WCO) transesterification to produce biodiesel has been investigated. Various concentration of ZnO was combined with CaO to determine the best formulation of ZnO/CaO catalyst development. It was demonstrated that the addition of ZnO active metal on CaO catalyst could remarkably improve the biodiesel yield through WCO transesterification reaction. The addition of 6% ZnO active metal on CaO, forming ZnO/CaO 6% catalyst, has exhibited the optimal enhancement of biodiesel yield. Furthermore, it was found that the optimum amount of ZnO/CaO 6% catalyst added in the reaction system was 3% w/w catalyst/WCO.
