Authors: Nasmil U.H.M. , Seneviratne S.M.K.S.
Published: January 2022

Introduction: Nursing students who undergo clinical learning in hospitals frequently communicate with nurses and patients. Communication barriers act as a burden to reach the desired quality of their learning. Previous studies indicate that barriers to communicate with nurses by nursing students are significantly higher compared to patient-related and nursing student-related barriers. This study aimed to describe perceived barriers to communicate with nurses and patients during clinical learning among nursing students of two state universities in Sri Lanka. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using a convenience sample of 120 nursing students from 2 nd , 3 rd and 4 th years in the University of Sri Jayewardenepura and the Eastern University of Sri Lanka. A previously validated questionnaire, consisting three barrier categories; nurse-related, patient-related and student-related was adapted and pretested for the study. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics in SPSS version 23. Results: The majority of participants were females (77.5%). All three barrier categories were perceived as moderate by a majority; 66.7%, 72.5% and 66.6% respectively. Nurse-related barriers had the highest overall mean score (3.31±0.56) compared to patient-related (3.12±0.64) and nursing student-related (3.00±0.68) barriers. The highest mean score (3.91±0.99) was evident for nurses’ negative attitudes towards nursing students, serious disease conditions of patients (3.75±1.03), and language differences (3.34±1.36). Conclusions: The three tested barrier categories were found to be moderate where nurse-related barriers were the highest and nursing student-related barriers were the lowest. The study recommends to provide adequate training on effective communication skills in clinical settings for nursing students. Continuing education programs for nurses should also focus on facilitating student training in clinical settings.Keywords: Clinical learning, Communication barriers, Nursing students, Nurses, Patients

Authors: Kodagoda A.S.K , Meegoda M.K.D.L
Published: January 2022

Introduction: Depression is a common mental disorder which can lead to major problems such as suicidal attempts. It is well known that the demands and pressure on undergraduates in medical faculties create tremendous challenges which result in an extensive range of psychological ailments like depression. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of different levels of depression among undergraduates in a selected medical sciences faculty in Sri Lanka. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using a convenient sampling technique among students in a selected medical faculty. The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) was used to assess depressive symptoms of the respondents. Descriptive analysis was done using SPSS version 23. Results: Mean age of the sample (n=397) was 24.1±2.5 years. The mean score obtained for depression was 10.5±8.3. Only 38.5% of the respondents had normal level of depressive symptoms while 7.1% and 4.0% of the respondents presented severe and extremely severe symptoms, respectively. Age (p=0.011) and academic year (p=0.001) showed a significant association with depression. Conclusions: The study demonstrates a considerable prevalence in different levels of depressive symptoms among undergraduates who are enrolled in medical and allied health sciences programmes. Therefore, it would be highly beneficial to reduce depressive symptoms by early identification. Studies to identify causes and interventional studies will contribute to implement measures to improve identification, and reduce the prevalence of depression among undergraduates.Keywords: Depression, Undergraduates, Mental disorder

Authors: Ranatunga S.A.C.D. , Balasuriya B.L.T. , Kariyawasan C.C.
Published: January 2022

Introduction: Classical Hairy Cell Leukaemia (cHCL) and Hairy Cell Leukaemia variant (HCL-v) are both rare and slow-growing mature B cell neoplasms. According to flowcytometry data, they fall into the group classified as CD5- CD10- B cell lymphoproliferative disorders. Methods: Two cases with features atypical to two neoplasms at the time of diagnosis were studied. Results: Case 1 was a 15 year old male with right cervical lymph nodes (1x1 cm) in the posterior triangle, a few ecchymotic patches on the arm and a massive splenomegaly. C-reactive protein (CRP) level was 53 mg/dL. Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) was 98 mm/1 st hour. Full Blood Count (FBC) revealed typical features of pancytopenia with monocytopenia. The liver and renal profiles were normal. Morphology of bone marrow was suggestive of cHCL. Flowcytometry and BRAF V600E mutation was positive confirming the diagnosis of cHCL. Case 2 was a 55 year old male presenting with moderate splenomegaly and absolute lymphocytosis. The FBC revealed leukocytosis which is commonly seen with monocytopenia. Blood pictures revealed many hairy cells with moderately basophilic cytoplasm and visible nucleoli suggesting HCL-v. Flowcytometry findings and negative BRAF V600E mutation confirmed HCL-v. Conclusions: Clinical findings, blood images, morphology of bone marrow, flowcytometric findings and positive BRAF V600E mutation confirmed the diagnosis of cHCL in case 1 (15 year old boy) making it as a very rare case. The morphological findings on blood, the presence of characteristic CD markers on flowcytometry and negativity of BRAF V600E confirmed the case 2 as HCL-v, despite having CD10 positivity and monocytopenia.Keywords: Flowcytometric immunophenotyping, Hairy cell leukaemia, Hairy cell leukaemia variant
Islam, Modernity and the Concept of Progress (Islam, Pemodenan dan Konsep Kemajuan)
Authors: Zaharani Nor Farhain , Akhmetova Elmira
Published: January 2022

This paper aims to review definitions and scope of modernity and analyze it in the context of a specific religion, Islam. The paper then highlights the harmony between progress and Islam based on the historical examples from the glorious eras of Islamic civilization in Andalusia and the Abbasid caliphate, in which modernity and religion were complementary in producing the novel innovations of that time. Knowledge creation and technological advancements were strongly pursued during that time by numerous renowned Muslim scholars, intellectuals and philosophers. This paper then examines the current situation in the Muslim world. The majority of Muslim nations are backward, impoverished and stagnant due to rigidity and restrictions in political and intellectual freedom, in addition to gender inequality and discrimination. As the paper finds, these unprecedented qualities are not a part of Islamic teachings, but the consequential effect of post colonialism and the politicization of religion by certain squatters using Islam for political interests and purposes.

Resumo: A aplicação do projeto de extensão intitulado Desenvolvimento social e aplicação de tecnologias sociais em ações multidisciplinares na Unidade de Conservação Monumento Natural das Árvores Fossilizadas do Tocantins (Filadélfia-TO) permitiu conhecer a realidade do Programa de Assentamento (PA) Recreio. Por ser uma assentamento da Reforma Agrária, questionou-se, inicialmente, a produção no assentamento, a participação de famílias em algum programa destinado à agricultura familiar. A intenção era fortalecer e dar visibilidade à produção local por meio de orientações sobre a economia solidária, a agricultura familiar e a realização de uma feira para a exposição da produção. Contudo, em meio à pandemia da COVID-19, algumas visitas de campo foram realizadas, o que permitiu colher informações importantes sobre o PA, e, neste sentido, houve a necessidade de reestruturar o projeto. Por serem as mulheres as principais protagonistas na recepção da extensão, optou-se, para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa, às teorizações da Divisão Sexual do Trabalho e do Desenvolvimento humano. Como procedimento metodológico, fez-se uso das visitas a algumas propriedades, roda de conversa, aplicação de questionário às participantes e outras observações tomadas junto à informante. Os resultados apontam as dificuldades enfrentadas pelas mulheres no âmbito da ausência de água potável para ingestão e outros usos, dificuldades na mobilidade da produção para obtenção de renda e a própria invisibilidade de seus trabalhos.

Published: January 2022

Este artigo se propõe a refletir sobre as desigualdades entre os gêneros presente no campo das sociabilidades delitivas, sobretudo, nos espaços juvenis imersos na prática de ato infracional. Essas contradições entre homens e mulheres têm se agudizado, produzindo violências e visões dúbias sobre o feminino e o masculino. Desse modo, buscamos compreender a partir de oficinas e entrevistas como os jovens autores de ato infracional internos no Centro de Atendimento Socioeducativo (CASE), do município de Mossoró-RN, percebem os papéis sociais de ambos os gêneros. Nesses roteiros, a dominação masculina e a demarcação dos papeis de gênero são inflexibilizados, sobremaneira, nas sociabilidades delitivas. Temas como a virilidade, honra e masculinidades são engessados em prol da afirmação de protótipos heteronormativos. Nesse sentido, os jovens, imersos nesse contexto, precisam projetar precocemente estes atributos ditos masculinos. Assim, observamos nesse interim que os socioeducandos percebem e reproduzem em suas relações cotidianas (des)valores morais fundados numa visão patriarcal sobre o masculino e o feminino.

The relevance of the study is conditioned upon the necessity to explore the possible influence of chimerisation on the productivity of germinative duck chimaeras and their descendants. To obtain duck chimaeras, the method described by Aige-Gil & Simkiss and Tagirov was applied. Shanma duck embryos were used as recipients and Shaoxin duck embryos homozygous for the plumage colour gene (wild type) were used as donors. To evaluate the egg production of germinative chimaeras of ducks, the analysis of experimental animals and their control counterparts was performed. Analysis of the age of sexual maturation (laying the first egg) indicates that the chimaeras matured later. While in the control group the average age of puberty was 139±9 days, in the chimaera group it was 148±13 days. Thus, it can be concluded that in this experiment chimaeras matured later than control animals, which may be related to the effect of busulfan during the sterilisation of recipient embryos. The average live weight of ducks in the control group was lower, and the group itself was more united. Thus, in control ducks, the weight was 1422.40±57.00 g, and in chimaeras – 1608.80±94.76 g. The advantage of chimaeras over the control group in terms of live weight may be related to the fact that the control group consisted of recipients of the Shanma breed. Egg production of ducks for the entire research period was 87.5±0.05% (control) and 79.5±0.12% (busulfan). The weight of eggs in ducks of two groups for the entire period was: 70.62±0.199 g (control) and 71.15±0.157 g. Morphometric parameters of eggs of the researched groups of ducks: average values of egg length – 6.056±0.0564 cm (control) and 6.269±0.1341 cm (busulfan); egg width – 4.520± 0.0053 cm (control) and 4.529±0.004 cm (busulfan). There were no statistical intergroup differences in the morphometric parameters of the eggs of the research groups. Analysis of the productivity of daughters of germinative duck chimaeras demonstrates that, in general, the chimerisation of parents did not affect the productivity of their daughters. The analysis of the productivity of the group of daughters obtained from chimeric animals demonstrates that, by most indicators, this group occupies an intermediate place between the groups whose breeds served as donors and recipients. The method author of the research uses to obtain chimaeras is of practical value for the conservation of genetic resources
Development of lifetime productivity of cows depending on the live weight of heifers of different ages
Authors: Klimkovetskyi Anton
Published: January 2022

One of the problems of modern dairy farming is the short period of productive use of cows. It is observed both in Ukraine and in most countries of the world with developed dairy cattle breeding. The consequence of a short period of productive use is a decrease in the lifetime productivity of cows. The purpose of this work was to investigate the possibility of influencing the duration of use and lifetime milk yield of cows by selecting heifers by live weight during their growing period. The study analysed the lifetime productivity of 1071 cows of the Ukrainian blackand-white dairy breed, starting from their rearing and up to retirement from the herd. Animals were divided into five groups by live weight at the age of 3, 6, 12 and 15 months using standard deviation (σ) from the mean. Within the groups, the number of calvings, productive life expectancy, lifetime estrus and estrus for higher lactation and the average period between calvings were determined. It was established that the hope for higher lactation is associated with the weight of heifers at the onset of puberty and sexual maturity. Animals, which at 6 months had a live weight of +0.5-1.5 σ and at 12 months more than +1.5 σ from the average in the herd, were characteristics of the highest milk yield. The group of traits of lifetime productivity (number of calvings, duration of productive use and lifetime milk yield) was positively influenced by the live weight of heifers at the age of 3, 6, 12 and 15 months, which exceeded the average for the herd by 0.5-1.5 σ. Cows belonging to these groups exceeded other groups by 0.2-1.4 calving. During the period of use, these cows received 11- 32% more milk than the average for the herd. The results of the research expand the understanding of the impact of heifer breeding on the development of lifetime productivity of cows and can be used for the selection of livestock and correction of plans for the cultivation of dairy cattle

Published: January 2022

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a well-established method for treating severe aortic stenosis. Prosthetic valve dislocation immediately after deployment is a rare and feared complication. We present a case of a patient with severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis who was admitted for TAVI. During balloon inflation the valve (Edwards SAPIEN XT) dislocated into the left ventricle as a result of the watermelon effect caused by a narrow, severely calcified sino-tubular junction. A second valve of the same type and size was immediately implanted in a suboptimal position in order to reduce severe aortic regurgitation. This facilitated the use of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support (V-A ECMO). The patient was thereafter stabilized and transferred for urgent surgery, where both prosthetic valves were removed. The aortic valve was replaced with an additional reconstruction of the ascending aorta.

Chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) is a serious, yet underdiagnosed condition that can cause severe lower extremity pain in running athletes. CECS is a transient increase in compartment pressure leading to severe pain, paresthesia, and vascular compromise. Understanding the detailed anatomy is paramount to proper diagnosis and treatment. Diagnosis is made with measuring compartments pressures before and after exercise at certain time intervals. When properly diagnosed and treated, CECS can be appropriately managed and patients can return to their previous level of activity.

Authors: Widiyanto Andi , Purnomo Bagiyo Condro
Published: January 2022

Gedangan village, a dairy farming center, has many biogas reactors that are used for cooking and lighting petromax lamps. Previous community service activities resulted in the construction of three Biogas Power Plants (PLT-Biogas) capable of producing 15 kW of power but which were not fully utilized. Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) is the approach method used to actively involve the community in the program. To optimize the PLT-Biogas, the service team rearranges the equipment and replaces the UPS with an inverter and battery charger before constructing a street lighting electricity network that can be used by the entire community. The next step is to provide operational and maintenance training for the long-term use of PLT-Biogas. As a result, the initial stage of electrical energy is currently used for street lighting in two hamlets, as well as freezers and water pumps, with a potential savings of 2,775.6 kWh per year. By converting biogas energy to electricity, this community service activity can help to kickstart the realization of an energy self-sufficient village.

The article discusses the prospects for the oil and gas content of the Upper Permian deposits in the southwestern marginal part of the Vilyui syneclise. In this margin, the Permian terrigenous complex with proven oil and gas productivity in the central part of the syneclise, pinches out. The study area, represented by the monoclinal slopes of the Vilyui syneclise, is considered a promising area for the exploration of non-structural hydrocarbon traps in the Upper Paleozoic sediments. The objectives of the study include identifying general patterns of sediment formation, associated mainly with the development of the alluvial complex, and substantiating the potential opportunities of migration and accumulation of hydrocarbons in the predicted traps. The research is based on the interpretation of the latest seismic surveys and prior-years geological and geophysical data. Authors carried out structural and paleo-structural analysis, identified lithofacies in the well log, generalized and analyzed the geochemical conditions of the oil and gas content of the Upper Permian deposits, traced the pinching out of the Upper Permian deposits on the southwestern margin of the syneclise, and also outlined areas of river valleys development that form zones of advanced reservoirs. The results of the studies have validated promising oil and gas accumulation zones on the southwestern slopes of the syneclise associated with non-anticlinal hydrocarbon traps. Authors also drew up a diagram of the oil and gas potential of the Upper Permian deposits. The obtained results are of interest for prospecting for oil and gas in the area under study.

ОРГАНІЗАЦІЙНО-ПЕДАГОГІЧНІ ЗАСАДИ ФІЗИЧНОЇ ПІДГОТОВКИ ОФІЦЕРІВ У ВІЙСЬКОВИХ ЗАКЛАДАХ ОСВІТИ В СПОЛУЧЕНИХ ШТАТАХ АМЕРИКИ

У статті представлено результати аналізу особливостей фізичної підготовки офіцерів у військових закладах освіти США на початку XXI століття. З’ясовано, що фізична підготовка майбутніх офіцерів має децентралізований характер, оскільки збройні сили США розділені між різними міністерствами, що обумовлює відсутність єдиної системи керівних документів. Система військової професійної освіти в США охоплює широку мережу закладів, що відрізняються один від одного відомчою приналежністю, особливостями і якістю освіти, а також її основними завданнями. Водночас ці заклади освіти входять до державного сектору американської вищої школи та керуються встановленими стандартами освіти. Фізична підготовка є однією з основних навчальних дисциплін. Навчальні програми з фізичної підготовки у військових школах дещо різняться залежно від належності до видів збройних сил. Проте загальними характерними їхніми рисами є висока насиченість занять фізичними вправами і дух змагальності. Є також спільні завдання, якими передбачено розвиток фізичних якостей та оволодіння кадетами руховими навичками; формування психічної стійкості до умов бойових дій і здатності діяти в екстремальних умовах; формування впевненості у своїх силах, згуртованості військових підрозділів; формування потреби у щоденних заняттях фізичними вправами та дотримання принципів здорового способу життя. Курсанти постійно беруть участь у різних змаганнях, що проводяться як на рівні закладу, так і в масштабах збройних сил або національних турнірів. Фізична підготовленість є одним із основних критеріїв відбору кандидатів під час вступу до військових шкіл, коледжів та академій. Фізична програма сприяє розвитку лідерів-професіоналів, забезпечуючи основу для їхніх фізичних базових навичок. Цей розвиток досягається за допомогою основних курсових занять з фізичної підготовки, перевірки фізичної підготовленості. Кожен курсант повинен брати участь в університетських або міжвузівських змаганнях упродовж навчального року, бути членом спортивного клубу.

Стаття присвячена проблемі професійної підготовки майбутніх офіцерів Національної гвардії України. Метою статті був узагальнений аналіз інноваційних педагогічних технологій у підготовці майбутніх офіцерів Національної гвардії України. Автор довів актуальність запропонованої у статті проблеми: зміст професійної підготовки офіцерських кадрів НАНГУ повинен враховувати кращий світовий досвід підготовки фахівців сектору безпеки та оборони, постійні зміни у сучасній світовій спільноті, і водночас – Євроінтеграційний напрям України. Одним зі шляхів забезпечення якісної професійної підготовки майбутніх офіцерів НАНГУ є застосування педагогічних інновацій. Відповідно до проблеми здійснено аналіз науково-педагогічної та психологічної літератури. Виокремлення інноваційних педагогічних технологій у професійній підготовці майбутніх офіцерів Національної гвардії України проведено за компонентами цієї підготовки: морально-психологічним, правовим, управлінським, військово-прикладним. Для реалізації морально-психологічного компонента професійної підготовки автором запропоновано тренінги та воркспейси; військово-прикладного – технологію моделювання професійних ситуацій, а також використання тренажерів і симуляторів для вогневої підготовки та підготовки з особистої безпеки майбутніх офіцерів; для управлінського компоненту запропоновано вивчення нових управлінських інструментів за допомогою інформаційно-комунікаційних технологій. Сформульовано висновки проведеного дослідження та перспективи подальших наукових пошуків (аналіз досвіду підготовки фахівців сектору безпеки та оборони у країнах із високим рівнем розвитку, а також вивчення стандартів НАТО щодо підготовки таких фахівців).

Objective: Exercise-associated Muscle Cramp (EAMC) is an intense, painful, and involuntary contraction of skeletal muscles during a physical activity. Runners are more prone to this syndrome than other athletes. The present paper aims to review of the literature on EAMC in runners to determine the reasons and nature of EAMC in this sports field. Methods: A search was conducted for related studies from 1997 to 2021 in MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE/SCOPUS, LILACS, CINAHL, CENTRAL, Web of Science, PEDro, Google Scholar as well as MagIran, IranDoc, IranMedex, MedLib using MeSH Keywords. The reference section of the studies were also checked to find more studies. Finally, 15 eligible papers on EAMC in runners were reviewed and findings were reported. Results: Several factors were found to be effective in EAMC among runners, including dehydration, electrolyte deficit, cold, long training or competition period, increased body temperature during training or competition, history of injury or muscle cramp, increased training intensity in short time, and dietary restrictions. Conclusion: The cause of EAMC in runners seems to be multifactorial.
