Published: April 2020

Aim. Evaluation of dysbiotic condition of intestine based on determination of local antioxidant index (LAI). Materials and methods. 155 patients with bacteriologically confirmed intestine dysbacteriosis were examined. 20 individuals with normobiocenosis of the intestine served as control. Feces dilution 10-2 was used for biochemical study. Catalase, superoxide dismutase activity and level of malonic dialdehyde was evaluated photometrically by the value of optical density of the samples. Microbial landscape of feces was studied by a bacteriologic method with parallel determination in samples of coprofiltrates of activity of the indicated enzymes and content of malonic dialdehyde. Evaluation of disturbances of microecology of the intestine was carried out by a biochemical method by calculating local antioxidant index in juxtaposition with microbial map data. Results. LAI parameter was significantly higher than 20 in coprofiltrates of people with intestine normobiocenosis. In patients with detected intestine dysbacteriosis, depending on its degree, LAI parameter changes were registered in the range from negative to 20. Dysbacteriosis in a part of patients had a prolonged character, LAI was lower than 14, that reflected the presence of a persistent inflammation. A tendency of normalization of microbial ecology and growth of LAI was observed during administration ofa probiotic preparation. Conclusion. A screening criteria is proposed, that differentiates the degree of severity of intestine dysbacteriosis based on calculation of local antioxidant index.

Guidelines for the safe use of procedural sedation and analgesia for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in adults: 2020–2025
Authors: Roelofse J , Jansen van Rensburg M
Published: April 2020

Writing guidelines on procedural sedation and analgesia is a formidable and challenging task. There are many disciplines and societies at international level now involved in writing guidelines and we need to be aware of what they see as important in their guidelines. We always need to identify new trends in sedation; for that we need to be involved at international level.

Our aim with these guidelines is to provide a guidance for safe sedation practice for all healthcare providers who are involved in sedation practice.

In this issue we have added adverse events and record-keeping, accreditation and the importance of simulation training to our recommendations under clinical governance. We would like our sedation practitioners to keep records and report adverse events to our societies, e.g. SOSPOSA, so that we all can benefit from the information we get.

It is also crucial that sedation practitioners keep their logbooks and update them regularly – “if it is not written down, it never happened”.

All aspects of accreditation remain an important issue and we need to address this urgently. This forms an important part of safe sedation practice, also done at international level, and we need to follow this. The facilities where we work, especially outside the operating theatre, must meet the requirements for safe practice. It is our responsibility to see that this is the case. In the appendices there is a practice appraisal
protocol that should be filled in by sedation practitioners doing sedation outside the operating theatre.

We do not cover sedation techniques in the guidelines. We believe sedation practitioners must learn the techniques with supervised clinical training.

Capnography for sedation outside the operating theatre will become a focus point in future. We are only supposed to be doing ASA I and II patients outside the operating theatre so there may be a feeling we do not need capnography. There is pressure to include capnography under monitoring as a minimum monitoring standard, like pulse oximetry and blood pressure monitoring.

Our appendices have been revised with more information on what patients need to know about sedation e.g. an example of a cover letter to the patient. This will include information to the patient, as well as information from the patient.

Sedation is today one of the fastest growing areas in anaesthesia care. Our research
studies show a low incidence of side-effects, and a high incidence of patient satisfaction.

To all our readers we wish you a safe sedation journey.

Authors: Vasconcelos Suelen Consoli Braga , Nascente Flávia Martins , Souza Cláudia Maria Duque de , Rocha Sobrinho Hermínio Maurício da
Published: April 2020

O ácido hialurônico (AH) é um dos preenchedores dérmicos temporários mais usados na correção de rítides, linhas e sulcos faciais por ser seguro e eficaz. Este ácido é natural no organismo humano e dentre as suas funções destaca-se a manutenção do volume, sustentação, hidratação e elasticidade da pele. Múltiplos preenchedores dérmicos estão disponíveis variando em relação às características físicas e químicas, o que influi em seus efeitos. O conhecimento do profissional sobre a anatomofisiologia da pele, assim como as características e propriedades reológicas dos AH, bem como a escolha adequada do produto para a região em que será aplicado e a experiência na aplicação são de suma importância para a obtenção de um resultado natural e duradouro. Os objetivos deste estudo foram apresentar as principais vantagens do uso do AH como preenchedor dérmico, suas indicações, contraindicações, reações adversas e possíveis complicações no tratamento para o rejuvenescimento facial humano. Trata-se de um estudo de revisão bibliográfica narrativa. Foram consultadas as bases de dados virtuais PubMed/MEDLINE e Portal Periódicos Capes. Estudos demonstraram que a aplicação inadequada do AH em planos teciduais incorretos é crítico na indução de reações adversas, devido à distensão dos tecidos e ao trauma. Observou-se que reação inflamatória transitória, leve ou moderada e equimoses podem ocorrer alguns dias após o procedimento. Estudos revelam que bons resultados do preenchimento dérmico facial se mantêm por um período variável de 6 a 18 meses. Os procedimentos são rápidos, ambulatoriais, sem necessidades de testes ou afastamentos de atividades diárias, com reações adversas mínimas e complicações raras. Avaliação cuidadosa do paciente, planejamento terapêutico adequado e técnica apurada são fundamentais para alcançar os melhores resultados com o tratamento.
NEUROINFLAMAÇÃO NA DOENÇA DE ALZHEIMER
Authors: Machado Annelisa Pimentel Rezende , Carvalho Izabella Oliveira , Rocha Sobrinho Hermínio Maurício da
Published: April 2020

A doença de Alzheimer (DA) é umas das principais demências do mundo, sendo caracterizada como uma desordem progressiva e crônica que leva a destruição de neurônios colinérgicos. O quadro clínico envolve uma série de eventos graduais desde a perda de memória episódica até o desfecho de deterioração da memória, do comportamento e da execução de movimentos. Este artigo teve como objetivo abordar o papel da neuroinflamação na patogênese da doença de Alzheimer, com ênfase na participação da imunidade inata no processo de neurodegeneração. Trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica narrativa realizada no período de 2008 a 2019. As bases de dados para busca foram dados eletrônica Pubmed/MedLine e Portal Capes, utilizando-se os seguintes descritores “Alzheimer Disease, Inflammation, Neuroinflammation, Immunology, Cytokines”.  Foram encontradas 79 referências, 19 estudos foram excluídos por não obedecerem aos critérios de inclusão do trabalho. A patogenia da DA associa-se à formação cerebral das placas senis, que são depósitos extracelulares do peptídeo β amiloide e emaranhados neurofibrilares intracelulares constituídos, principalmente, por proteína Tau hiperfosforilada. Astrócitos e micróglias ativados são, caracteristicamente, encontrados próximos às placas senis, evidenciado a participação de elementos do sistema imune na neuroinflamação e neurodegeneração. Vários são os fatores capazes de ativar as vias inflamatórias na DA, como mutações genéticas, condições ambientais, emocionais, idade e hábitos de vida. Estes tipos de estímulos induzem um processo cíclico em que células da imunidade inata como a micróglia e o astrócito liberam moléculas pró-inflamatórias como citocinas, radicais livres, neurotoxinas criando assim um estado inflamatório crônico, contribuindo para a disfunção e morte neuronal com consequente progressão da DA.
Animals as representations of female domestic roles in selected fables from the Philippines and South Africa
Authors: Quintero Genevieve Jorolan , Makgabo Connie
Published: April 2020

South Africa and the Philippines are home to a number of indigenous groups whose cultures and traditions have not been tainted by centuries of colonization. This paper compares the pre-colonial literature of cultural communities in two countries, where one is part of a continent (South Africa) while the other is an archipelago (the Philippines). Despite the differences in their geographical features, the two countries share common experiences: 1) colonized by European powers; 2) have a significant number of indigenous communities; 3) a treasury of surviving folk literature. Published African and Philippine folktales reveal recurring images and elements. One of these is the use of animals as characters, performing domestic tasks in households, and representing gender roles. This paper compares how animal characters portray feminine characteristics and domestic roles in selected fables from South Africa and the Philippines, specifically on the commonalities in the roles of the female characters. The research highlights the relevance of recording and publishing of folk literature, and the subsequent integration and teaching thereof within basic and higher education curricula.Key words: Indigenous, Cultural communities, fables, folk literature, Philippine folk tales, South African folk talesHow to cite this article:Quintero, G.J. & Makgabo, C. 2020.  Animals as Representations of Female Domestic Roles in selected fables from the Philippines and South Africa. Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in the South. v. 4, n. 1, p. 37-50.

Decolonising higher education: creating space for Southern knowledge systems
Authors: Manathunga Catherine
Published: April 2020

The complexity and scale of the globe’s current environmental and social problems requires genuine dialogue between all the world’s diverse knowledge systems. At present, despite decades of postcolonial, Indigenous and feminist research, higher education remains dominated by Northern, scientific knowledge. Northern knowledge continues to claim universality across time and space in many academic disciplines and continues to ignore calls for what de Sousa Santos calls ‘epistemic justice’. If we are to generate genuinely democratic approaches to knowledge production in higher education, a great deal of work needs to be done to decolonise teaching, learning and research in higher education. Decolonising higher education involves creating space for Southern knowledge systems. In this paper, I draw upon postcolonial/decolonial theories and historical transcultural understandings of deep, slow, ancient time to make a case for the importance of creating space for Southern, transcultural and Indigenous knowledge systems. I illustrate that decolonisation requires both quiet and gentle reflection as well as deep listening and courageous radical action. Finally, I highlight instances of what de Sousa Santos terms the sociology of emergences, within doctoral education from the global South.Key words:decoloniing higher educaiton, sociologies of emergence, global South, epistomologies of the South, Southern theoryHow to cite this article:Manathunga, C. 2020. Decolonising higher education: creating space for Southern knowledge systems. Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in the South. v. 4, n. 1, p. 4-25.

Authors: Dr. K. Madhava Rao
Published: April 2020

India is set to emerge as the world’s fastest-growing major economy by 2015 ahead of China, as per the recent report by The World Bank. India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is expected to grow at 7.5 per cent in 2015, as per the report. The improvement in India’s economic fundamentals has accelerated in the year 2015 with the combined impact of strong government reforms, RBI's inflation focus supported by benign global commodity prices.
The Indian economy has been witnessing positive sentiments during the past few months. The macroeconomic indicators have also displayed an encouraging trend in the recent times. However, the situation of the manufacturing sector in India is a cause of concern. At 16% value added to GDP, the sector does not seem representative of its potential which should have been 25%. However, the industrial growth scenario is improving and is estimated at 1.9% in the period April-October 2014-15.
Make in India is a major new national programme of the Government of India designed to facilitate investment, foster innovation, enhance skill development, protect intellectual property and build best in class manufacturing infrastructure in the country. The primary objective of this initiative is to attract investments from across the globe and strengthen India’s manufacturing sector. It is being led by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India. The Make in India programme is very important for the economic growth of India as it aims at utilising the existing Indian talent base, creating additional employment opportunities and empowering secondary and tertiary sector.
The present study is an attempt to understand the global and domestic outlook of manufacturing sector, growth dynamics, opportunities and challenges for manufacturing firms particularly in the states under the influence of DMIC.

Employee retention and talent management have been a critical issue for many national and global level organizations. People are the most valuable asset and their development in terms of skills, knowledge and abilities gives strength to an organization to achieve desired outcomes. Talent management practices aimed at getting the right person in the right job and to get the best out of their right people. The study aims to understand the role and relation of various talent management practices on employee retention in Life Insurance sector. The nature of study is descriptive type and depends on both primary and secondary data. The total sample size was 100 comprising of all levels of employees and selected through non-probability purposive sampling method. The data collected from primary data were analyzed using descriptive statistic and correlation method. The main finding of the study indicate that there is a positive relationship among various dimensions of talent management practices such as training & development, rewards & compensation, performance management on employee retention. The present study cannot be generalized because the sample size is inadequate and confined to only four private life insurers. The study concludes that by effective talent management practices, the top management of private insurance companies can improve retention rate of employees and thus enhances overall organizational performance. Therefore, the top level managers can adopt various talent management strategies in reducing attrition and thereby improving employee retention and organizational performance.

Authors: Lulu Zhang  , Bo Li  , Jianping Wei  , Zhihui Wen  , Yongjie Ren
Published: April 2020

To study coal permeability evolution under the influence of mining actions, we conducted a sensitivity index test on permeability to determine the influence of axial and confining stresses on coal permeability. Loading and unloading tests were performed afterward, and the differences between loading and unloading paths in terms of strain and permeability were studied. A permeability evolution model was built in consideration of absorption swelling and effective stress during modeling. An effective stress calculation model was also built using axial and confining stresses. The calculation results of the two models were compared with experimental data. Results showed that permeability were more sensitive to confining stress than axial stress, and effective stress placed a large weight on confining stress. Large axial and radial deformations at peak strength were observed during unloading. In the unloading phase, the permeability of coal began to increase, and the increment was enhanced by large initial axial stress when confining stress was loaded. permeability sensitivity to axial and confining stresses were used to explain these permeability changes. The calculation results of the models fitted the experimental data well. Therefore, the proposed models can be used to calculate effective stress on the basis of axial and confining stresses and describe permeability change in coal under the influence of mining actions.
CONVEYOR BELT WEAR CAUSED BY MATERIAL ACCELERATION IN TRANSFER STATIONS
Authors: Doroszuk Błażej , Król Robert
Published: April 2020

In conveyor transport systems, different solutions to the transfer points constructions are used. Choosing the right solution requires conditions analysis of the cooperation between two conveyors. For years, the analytical methods have been used to evaluate the discharge trajectory of the transported material. Increasingly, to evaluate the movement of grains in the transfer space to analyze the behavior of the bulk material in contact with transfer chute elements, researchers successfully use simulations performed in the discrete element method (DEM). Well-constructed chute allows the material stream to be uniformly fed onto the receiving conveyor with a desired stable tangential speed. Proper design reduces motion resistances and belt wear. In the paper, the analysis of selected construction solutions of transfer points and the possibilities of their usage in copper ore transport systems were performed. The research was conducted using the DEM simulations of the ore flow. For specifying the best conditions of the cooperation of the feeding and receiving conveyors, a series of simulations were generated. The criteria for the comparative evaluation of the analyzed solutions were the values of acceleration zone length and abrasive wear of the belt.

Introduction. Bloodstream Infections has become in one of the priorities for the antimicrobial stewardship teams due to their high mortality and morbidity rates. Usually, the first antibiotic treatment for this pathology must be empirical, without microbiology data about the microorganism involved. For this reason, the population studies about the etiology of bacteremia are a key factor to improve the selection of the empirical treatment, because they describe the main microorganisms associated to this pathology in each area, and this data could facilitate the selection of correct antibiotic therapy.
Material and methods. This study describes the etiology of bloodstream infections in the Southeast of Spain. The etiology of bacteremia was analysed by a retrospective review of all age-ranged patients from every public hospital in the Autonomous Community of Valencia (approximately 5,000,000 inhabitants) for five years.
Results. A total of 92,097 isolates were obtained, 44.5% of them were coagulase-negative staphylococci. Enterobacteriales was the most prevalent group and an increase in frequency was observed along the time. Streptococcus spp. were the second microorganisms more frequently isolated. Next, the most prevalent were Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus spp., both with a stable incidence along the study. Finally, Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the fifth microorganism more frequently solated.
Conclusions. These data constitute a useful tool that can help in the choice of empirical treatment for bloodstream infections, since the knowledge of local epidemiology is key to prescribe a fast and appropriate antibiotic therapy, aspect capital to improve survival.

Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was carried out to develop appropriate questionnaire items as research instruments. This study has developed and certified the instruments of safety management commitment and safety administration through the EFA study. It is applied in the context of occupational safety and health management (OSH) of construction industry. This study was divided into two constructs namely Safety Management Commitment (SMC) and Safety Administration (SA) to measure safety attitude. Safety administration construct was measured by safety programs and safety monitoring. Whereas, safety management commitment construct was measured by safety planning and safety management. This study was conducted to evaluate the contractor’s safety management attitude to the safety culture at the construction site. About 100 respondents were selected through simple random sampling to fill out the survey. Based on the reliability test, this study has set an instrument consist of eight items to develop two components for the construct of safety management commitment. While, for the construct of safety administration consist of six items for two components. This setting is based on the internal reliability value (Alpha Cronbach) for measurement of the instrument. The procedure is described in detail to carry out an EFA analysis to develop the instrument’s construct of SMC and SA. For the future, researchers can develop a study by applying instruments thoroughly in various fields of research.

The Situation and Chances of Roma students in Secondary and Tertiary Education in Hungary
Authors: Csikósné Maczó Edit , Rajcsányi-Molnár Mónika
Published: April 2020

Addressing student drop-out or early school leaving has long been a major challenge for education policy makers at both national and international levels. This phenomenon affects all levels of education and has a profound impact on those classes of society that are economically and socio-culturally disadvantaged. This is particularly the case of the largest minority group in Hungary, the Roma, and its roots go back to primary education. Since the 1990s, so from the change of the regime, a positive tendency could have been observed in the completion of primary education, but in secondary school graduation and in obtaining a higher education degree they are still far behind the non-Roma population. In the current study, we identify causes of their learning failures, and we also present a selection of study grants that are available to young Roma students and support them to achieve higher levels of education. We also highlight the difficulties faced by those Roma youth, who have origins in traditional communities but obtain higher educational degrees.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly . A Broad look at the Adaptation of Technology in Education
Authors: Ilin Vladislav
Published: April 2020

Technology in education is a global phenomenon affecting learners of all ages. The breadth and variety of available tools make it difficult to implement a standardized method for assessing the impact of technology on learning. The lack of a consensus on good and bad practices results in inconsistent application and mixed learning results.   This article takes a look at the adaptation of technology to education and examines the various tools used to enhance learning. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using technology, as well as review methodologies for evaluating the impact.   The essay concludes by identifying several problems with the way technology is evaluated and offers suggestions for further research to address those problems.

Authors: Perangin-angin Mori Agustina
Published: April 2020

Facing death is not the expected experience for nurses, but nurses cannot avoid this situation. Death attitude is the most important factor influencing healthcare’s professionalism. This study aimed to identify the death attitudes based on nurses’ characteristics using the Mann-Withney and Kruskal Wallis test. The Spearman rho test was also carried out to see the relationship between the dimensions of death attitudes. The instrument used was the Death Attitudes Profile-Revised (DAP-R) questionnaire consisting of 32 statements divided into 5 categories: fear of death (7 statements), death avoidance (5 statements), neutral acceptance (5 statements), escape acceptance (5 statements), approach acceptance (10 statements) using 7 Likert scales. The result of this study was there is no significant difference between gender, level of education, length of work and palliative training (sig> 0.05). There is a significant relationship between fear of death and neutral acceptance (sig value of 0.014 <0.05). It is needed further study to identify factors that influence nurses' death attitudes.

Menghadapi kematian bukan pengalaman yang diharapkan perawat, namun perawat tidak bisa menghindari situasi tersebut. Sikap terhadap kematian merupakan salah satu faktor yang paling penting yang mempengaruhi prilaku profesional tenaga kesehatan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi perbedaan sikap terhadap kematian berdasarkan karakteristik perawat dengan menggunakan uji non parametric Mann-Withney dan Kruskal Wallis. Uji Spearman rho juga dilakukan untuk melihat hubungan diantara dimensi sikap terhadap kematian. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah kuesioner Death Attittudes Profile-Revised (DAP-R) yang terdiri dari 32 pernyataan yang dibagi menjadi 5 kategori yaitu takut terhadap kematian (7 pernyataan), menghindari kematian (5 pernyataan), menerima kematian sebagai bagian alamiah (5 pernyataan), menerima kematian sebagai bentuk kelepasan dari penderitaan (5 pernyataan), menantikan kehidupan setelah kematian (10 pernyataan). Kuesioner ini terdiri dari 7 skala Likert.  Hasilnya adalah tidak terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antar jenis kelamin, tingkat pendidikan, lama kerja dan pelatihan paliatif (sig > 0.05). Terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara takut terhadap kematian dengan menerima kematian sebagai bagian alamiah, dengan nilai sig 0.014 < 0.05.

The processing of natural and nutritious coconut sap juice and coconut sap concentrate for commercial production was conducted by the members of the Samahang Magniniyugan ng Tawan-tawan (SMT) at Barangay Tawan-tawan, Baguio District, Davao City, Southern Mindanao, Philippines from February to May, 2007. The processing of coconut sap juice and concentrate involves simple, easy to follow procedures and few equipment are required. 

Results of the chemical analysis revealed that coconut sap juice, an oyster-white liquid and coconut sap concentrate, a sticky, golden orange syrup has 84.3% and 25% moisture content; 0.24% and 0.94% crude protein; 18.99 and 63.79 mg/100 mg sodium (Na); 0.85 and 1.51 mg/100 g calcium (Ca) and 0.05 and 0.33 mg/100g iron (Fe), respectively indicating that these coconut sap food products are nutritious and good for one’s body. While physical (color) analysis showed that these products are pure and natural since no food coloring was detected. A partial budgeting analysis on the profitability of producing coconut sap juice and coconut sap concentrate over the traditional fermented toddy indicated an additional profit or net income of Php19,728.00 and Php21,402.00 per month, respectively (Php41= $). 

The benefits derived from the commercialization of the technology on coconut sap food products by the adaptors were discussed. Factors for successful adoption and commercialization of coconut sap juice and concentrate were likewise recommended.

High quantities of mineral fertilizers (MF) are required for good coconut seedling production, whose up dated recommendation is 232 grams per seedling. The objective of this work was to assess the substitution of the MF by organic fertilizer as sugar-cane filter cake (SCFC) on coconut seedlings in polybag. The SCFC is an organic residue from sugar-cane manufacturing composed of various chemical elements, as for instance: nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium. The experiment was carried out at the Itapirema Research Station, Goiana, Pernambuco State, Brazil, in a randomized complete block design, with factorial disposition 52, replicated three times, with six tall coconut seedlings per plot. The treatments were the combinations of five doses of MF (in g seedling-1): 46.25; 92.50; 138.75; 185.00 and control, using urea, simple superphosphate and potassium chloride at the proportion of 1:2:3, respectively, and five doses of SCFC (in kg polybag-1): 0.5; 1.0; 1.5; 2.0 and control. Eight months after young coconut seedlings replacement to the polybags the following parameters were measured: collar girth (CG), leaf area (LA), number of live leaves (NL) and plant height (PH). For leaf nutritional diagnosis and growing media chemical and physical analyses, samples were collected. There was significance for the two factors, individually, to all parameters. The trend analysis revealed linear, quadratic and cubic responses, according to the studied character. The mixture of 0.5 kg of SCFC polybag-1 plus 46.25 g of the MF was sufficient for obtaining seedlings of excellent quality and promoting a fertilizers economy around 80%. According to other results from this research, the number of seedlings per plot and the critical level of nutrients in the leaf of coconut seedlings should be reviewed.

Coconut is one of the major plantation crops which plays a pivotal role in the economy of Sri Lanka. The objective of this study is to investigate the presence of heavy metals in fresh coconut kernel and in some coconut products in Sri Lanka.

Levels of lead (Pb), Chromium (Cr), Aluminum (Al), Ferrous (Fe), Copper (Cu), Manganese (Mn), Cadmium (Cd), Zinc (Zn), and Arsenic (As) were determined in samples of fresh coconut kernel, coconut milk, coconut milk powder, and coconut cream using the Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (AAS) method. Fresh coconut kernel and coconut products were found to contain Fe, Zn, Cu and Mn. Fresh coconut kernels showed the highest content of these metals. Coconut cream and coconut milk samples demonstrated the lowest levels of these metals. Potentially toxic heavy metals such as Pb, Cd, As, and Al were not detected in the tested samples. The occurrence of the heavy metals in all the coconut products tested was below the permissible levels suggested by the USDA, World Health Organization, and the Quality Standards of CODEX Vol. 1 Section 6, 1991.
