EUROPEAN STANDARDS OF CARE FOR NEWBORN HEALTH
Authors:   European Foundation for the Care of Newborn Infants,   Association of Neonatologists of Ukraine
Published: December 2019

Medical treatment and care for preterm and sick newborn babies in European countries varies greatly. Significant differences are not only limited to the survival rates of such infants. In some European countries, preterm birth is also more commonly associated with chronic physical and mental disability than in others. This effect is exacerbated by the fact that in some parts of Europe, further assistance to these vulnerable children after discharge from the hospital (follow-up and early intervention) is not structured or even does not exist at all. Given the high level of inequality in health care delivery, agreed definitions and clear recommendations for infrastructure, medical processes, care procedures, and staffing capabilities are needed to compare and adjust the conditions of care in Europe. Therefore, there is an absolute need to ensure that high-level care is equally available throughout and for everyone. European standards of care for newborn health, developed on the initiative and under the project of the European Foundation for the Care of Newborn Infants (EFCNI), will help to overcome differences in clinical practice, structure and organization of care, as well as training of healthcare professionals. This publication presents the part of the standards regarding health care for preterm and sick infants.
The Question of Religion in T. S. Eliot’s Poetry: “Ash-Wednesday” as a Case Study
Authors: Bassou Mohammed
Published: November 2019

This article puts under scrutiny the religious manifestations in Eliot’s devotional poetry and the meditative questions that he raises. To do so, it limits the scope of my analytical reading to one of his well-known meditative poems, “Ash-Wednesday.”  I shall start with a theoretical analysis of his famous article, “Religion and Literature” and argue for the presence of its milestone ideas in Eliot’s poetry taking “Ash-Wednesday as a case study.” The study also discerns Eliot’s renunciation of the main tenets of Romanticism which he made use of before his conversion.

Las redes de alerta de emergencia nacen como necesidad de los organismos encargados de precautelar por la seguridad ciudadana, para tomar oportunamente las medidas correspondientes al detectar la ocurrencia de amenazas naturales y antrópicas, que pudieran afectar a sus territorios y sobre todo a los seres humanos que los habitan; esto ha hecho que se desarrollen sistemas aprovechando los avances tecnológicos en las redes de telecomunicaciones, permitiendo detectar eventos casi al instante de producirse y enviar información a esos organismos; a pesar de toda la tecnología utilizada en la detección oportuna de estos eventos, la última etapa, y quizá la más importante, que es la difusión de esas alertas a la ciudadanía que pudiera ser afectada, todavía no es todo lo eficiente y eficaz que debería ser. La comparación entre las distintas alternativas tecnológicas utilizadas para la implementación de sistemas de alerta de emergencia en diferentes partes del mundo, incluyendo los que se está instalando en cantones como Quito, Rumiñahui y Latacunga, que ason sistemas compuesto de sirenas de largo alcance, ubicadas en sectores estratégicos, permite concluir que no cubriría a toda la población de los territorios amenazados, reduciendo las posibilidades a los habitantes de tomar medidas para precautelar sus bienes materiales y sus vidas. Es así que para reducir ese inconveniente aparece la televisión digital terrestre como una solución complementaria a otros sistemas de alerta, con la diferencia que la emisión se la realizaría a una gran área de cobertura, en forma simultánea y de manera sectorizada, evitando alertar innecesariamente a poblaciones que podrían Recibido: Julio de 2016 Aprobado: Agosto de 2016

The Problems of the Functioning of Russian Orthodoxy in the New Sociocultural Conditions: the Typological Approach
Authors:   The Ural State Law University, Knysh Evgeny Viktorovich
Published: December 2019

The paper addresses the problems of the functioning of the Russian church in modern realities, characterized by its clash with external and internal challenges. It is indicated that the Russian church acts as an object of criticism in public space because of its inconsistency with a certain stable idea of what it should be. The author makes an attempt to answer the question of how, from the point of view of the functioning of culture, Russian Orthodoxy can respond to such challenges. This question is comprehended in a philosophical and cultural way, taking into account the dual nature of the church. As a result of such a reflection, the intensive (axiological) and extensive (institutional, success-oriented) types of functioning of the Orthodox culture are distinguished. The relevance of the embodiment of the intense modality of churchness today is grounded. The relevant experience of the development of a modern Orthodox parish in Yekaterinburg is given. In conclusion, some recommendations for a more active embodiment of the intensive type of churchness by the Russian Orthodox Church are presented. An important role in this process is given to the figure of the abbot and the work of the church with the local population.

Authors:   Komsomolsk-on-Amur State University, Petrunina Zhanna Valeryanovna , Gromov Roman Alekseevich ,   Komsomolsk-on-Amur State University
Published: December 2019

The paper considers the Central Amur State Fisheries Trust activity in 1935–1936. The analysis of the enterprise’s work is carried out in accordance with the goals and objectives that the USSR leadership set for the country’s fishing industry in the period under review. In particular, one of the main goals was to solve the food problem. The authors estimate the role of the Central Amur State Fisheries Trust in attracting people to the region and solving socio-economic problems in the Far East. The materials of the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Municipal Archive served the main source for the research. They include statistical data of output and finance plans and reports on the activity of the trust itself as well as of other fish factories. It is concluded that the problems solved in the 1930s in the fishing industry of the Far East in many respects coincide with modern problems, and, therefore, the Soviet experience in dealing with complex issues can be applied in the present day realities.

The effects of achievement goal orientations and safety climate on safe and unsafe behavior
Authors: Jung JiHee , Park YoungSeok
Published: December 2019

The purpose of this study is to test the effect of achievement goal orientations and safety climate on safe and unsafe behaviors. Safe behaviors were measured by observances and automatic safe behaviors, and unsafe behaviors by violations and mistakes. Three fifty employees from corporations were participated in this research. Both mastery approach goal and performance approach goal orientations have significant positive relations with the safe behaviors and negative relations with the unsafe behaviors, but both mastery avoidance goal and performance avoidance goal orientations have significant negative relations with the safe behaviors and positive relations with the unsafe behaviors. This results suggest to confirm the multiple goal perspective of the achievement goal orientation argued both mastery goal and performance goal orientations have relations with adaptive and maladaptive behaviors. Safety climates measured by five factors, management values, safety practice, safety training, safety communication, and supervisor leadership, were significant positive relations with safe behaviors and negative relations with unsafe behaviors. Specially safety climates have significantly stronger correlations with unintentional behaviors(automatic safe behavior and mistake) than intentional behaviors(observance and violation). The relative contributions of individual variables and organizational variables to safe and unsafe behaviors were discussed.
The Five-Factor Model of Workplace Spirituality
Authors: Roh Sangchoong , Suh Yongwon
Published: December 2019

The purpose of the present study is to propose comprehensive conceptual model of workplace spirituality(WS) and to develp a scale that can measure the WS. In study 1, the five-factor model of WS was proposed, and 39 items were developed for constructing workplace spirituality index(WSI) scale. The 5-factor model of WS included the followings: 1) ‘a sense of inner life’ toward oneself, 2) ‘a sense of calling’ toward one's work, 3) ‘a sense of empathy’ toward one's colleagues, 4) ‘a sense of community’ toward on's organization, and 5) ‘a sense of transcendence’ above and beyond one's ego. A sample of 239 participants from six global companies completed the scale, and an exploratory factor analysis showed 5 factor structure, and 23 items were selected to constuct a final WSI scale. In study 2, a cross-validation study was conducted with a sample of 161 participants. A confirmatory factor analysis indicated a satisfactory fit for the 5-factor model of WS, and a secondary factor analysis revealed that the five factors were well converged into the higher factor of the whole WS. In study 3, a discriminant validation study was conducted with a sample of 400 employees to show a discriminant validity between WS and subjective well-being (SWB), quality of working life (QWL), and perceived value of work (PVW). The results showed that WS was a different construct with the above related concepts. Finally, theoretical and practical implications were discussed, and limitations and future suggestions were described.
Conflict transformation
Authors: Lee Byungjoo , Chang JaeYoon
Published: December 2019

This study investigated the conflict transformation pattern and the mediating role of emotions in nurse-physician conflicts. Nurses experience relatively heavier amount of relationship conflict compared to physicians. Relationship conflicts are known to have adverse effects on team satisfaction and team performance. Using a five-day diary study, data was collected from nurses in large hospitals. The respondents selected the physicians with the most frequent interaction, and answered questionnaires regarding that specific interaction while most existing studies used the information elicited from the interaction with the most conflicts. Several HLM analyses on conflicts scales showed that there were conflict transformation from task conflict to relationship conflict and that positive emotion mediated the transformation process. In other words, once task conflict was experienced, positive emotion decreases, and the decrease leads to the increase of relationship conflict the following day. However, the emotion itself did not carry over to the next day. This result suggests that nurses are capable of psychological detachment, which buffers the emotional association for two consecutive days.

Published: December 2019

The purpose of the present study was to (1) examine the relationships between proactive personality and organizational citizenship behavior as well as task performance and (2) test the moderating effects of job meaningfulness, supportive leadership and autonomy culture(each representing task, social and organizational level) on these relationships based on the trait activation theory(TAT). A total of 435 employees working at various companies in Korea participated in a survey, and 404 data were used for statistical analysis after elimination of inadequate samples. The results of correlation analyses showed that proactive personality was significantly related to both organizational citizenship behavior and task performance. Furthermore, the results of hierarchial regression analyses demonstrated that job meaningfulness and supportive leadership moderated the relationship between proactive personality and organizational citizenship behavior, while the moderating effect of autonomy culture on the relationship between proactive personality and task performance was supported. Finally, the implications and future research directions were discussed.

Published: December 2019

The purpose of the present study was to examine the relative influences of sub-constructs of pay satisfaction on the sub-constructs of organizational commitment. This study also examined whether organizational trust has mediating effects on the relationships. Data were collected from 410 workers employed in a variety of organizations and a hierarchical regression was conducted to test hypothesis. Results indicated that the satisfaction for pay level has positive influence on continuance commitment, the satisfaction for pay system/management has positive influence on affective commitment and negative influence on continuance commitment, and the satisfaction for benefits has positive influences on all sub-constructs of organizational commitment. Also, the satisfaction for pay system/management and benefits has positive influences on the trust in management and members. The trust in management has negative influence on continuance commitment and the trust in members has positive influences on affective and normative commitment. In addition, the trust in members mediated partially the relationship between the satisfaction for pay system/management and affective commitment, and between the satisfaction for benefits and affective and normative commitment. The trust in management mediated partially the relationship between the satisfaction for pay system/management and continuance commitment, and between the satisfaction for benefits and continuance commitment.

Content validity and confirmatory factor analysis of Cooperative Learning Attitude Scale (CLAS) for the EFL students
Authors: HAİDARİ Sayed Masood , UZUN Nezaket Bilge
Published: December 2019

This study reports on the development of a cooperative learning
attitude scale for the EFL students based on expert reviews and examines its
construct validity. Three rounds of expert reviews were conducted. In each
round, five content experts reviewed the items and rated their relevance to the
content domain and their comprehensibility. The expert panel also assigned the
items to the suggested sub-scales. After item elimination and major revisions,
45 items representing five factors with perfect reviewer consensus were
retained. Although the scale was developed via expert review, the authors checked
the construct validity of the instrument through CFA by collecting data from
136 pre-service EFL teachers. The results suggested elimination of six more
items owing to their insignificant t values or low factor loadings, which were
eliminated after two reviewers recommended to. The resultant fit statistics
supported a good-fitting model with t statistics and item-total correlation
significant across all variables. The coefficient alpha confirmed internal
consistency of the scale and that of sub-scales.

Authors: Konečný Vladimír , Brídziková Mária , Gažo Patrik , Semanová Štefánia
Published: November 2019

A prerequisite for realizing the demand for public passenger transport is the existence of its potential which represents the population of a city, region or state. The number of inhabitants has a direct impact on the demand for transport. The paper deals with examining the relationship and dependence between the population demographic development and the demand for public passenger transport. Not only in Slovakia but also in Europe and in the world, the main problem is the ageing population. The changing age structure of the population changes requirements, demands and habits of transported population groups. A gradual increase in the holders of cards of a person with severe disability or a person with severe disability with accompaniment can be observed in Slovakia in recent years. This group of the population has also a very strong impact on the demand for public passenger transport. The dependence between individual variables is examined in the conditions of the Ţilina self-governing region.

Construction Safety on Scaffolding: Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Safety Management
Authors: Rebelo Mário António , Silveira Francisco Renato , Czarnocka Elzbieta , Czarnocki Krzysztof
Published: November 2019

The construction industry is one of the most hazardous industries, with a high number of working injuries and fatalities. A special issue for occupational accidents in the construction industry is the use of scaffolds, which is usually attributed to falls from height. Research and practice have demonstrated that decisions made upstream from the construction site can influence construction worker safety. Therefore, it is crucial to assess the risk levels for different construction stages on scaffolding, with various work trades, aiming to prevent the occurrence of fall accidents. The use of new techniques and methodologies, such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), is of major importance. The growing implementation of BIM in Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) is changing the way safety can be approached.
This study reviews the existing literature about BIM and construction safety on scaffolding, to explore useful findings and detect knowledge gaps for future research. Despite the enormous evolution of research and technological innovations based on BIM for construction safety, there is still a flagrant lack of knowledge and solutions for identifying hazards related to construction on scaffolding.
Der philosophische Glaube angesichts der Offenbarung
Authors: Jaspers Karl
Published: December 2019

Ein Plädoyer für die Verständigung zwischen den Religionen
Mit dem Glauben an Offenbarung hat Jaspers sich schon sehr früh auseinandergesetzt. Der Offenbarungsglaube bildete das Gegenüber, angesichts dessen ihm bewusst wurde, was er selbst den philosophischen Glauben nannte: einen Glauben an Transzendenz jenseits konfessioneller Gebundenheit, der, so die Hoffnung, imstande war, den Frieden zwischen den Religionen herzustellen, ohne bewährte religiöse Bindungen aufzulösen.
Dennoch sollte es Jahrzehnte dauern, bis Jaspers das Verhältnis zwischen philosophischem Glauben und Offenbarungsglauben in drei einschlägigen Publikationen zum Thema machte. Band 13 der KJG enthält als zentralen Text das Alterswerk Der philosophische Glaube angesichts der Offenbarung (1962/1963). Zur Seite gestellt sind ihm der Festschriftbeitrag «Der philosophische Glaube angesichts der christlichen Offenbarung» (1960), der aus dem das genannte Buch hervorgegangen ist, sowie das mit Heinz Zahrnt geführte Gespräch «Philosophie und Offenbarungsglaube» (1963).

A New Perspective on Transfer Policy: Are Community College Transfer Students Getting an Equitable Academic Experience at Small Private Colleges?
Authors: Hyatt Sally E.
Published: December 2019

With the declining enrollment of the traditional college student, small private universities are increasing attracting community college transfer students, yet community college transfer research invariably occurs at the public university. To provide a view from the private college, this qualitative study sought to describe how faculty perceived the community college transfer student experience at a small, nonprofit, private university. Using an ethnographic study design, twelve faculty were interviewed, describing the culture, the perception of the students’ experience with the university, as well as the institutional policies that applied to community college transfer students. Findings illustrated the potential for inequity within the academic experience between student types. Analysis of the interview data developed the following themes: a systematically distinct experience for community college transfer students, limited access to signature programs for community college transfer students, and the unmet needs of community college transfer students. These themes, gathered from a thematic data analysis, helped the researcher present a new perspective on transfer policy and implications to practice for campuses as well as future research recommendations centered on equity and academic policy.
The Impact of Human Resource Development on Organizational Effectiveness: An Empirical Study
Authors: Kareem Mohanad Ali
Published: November 2019

Human resource development is a relatively new area of professional practice and academic study. Over the past two decades, human resource development has become the fastest growing area of management development, due to the great interest of organizations in the face of intense competition and changes in the business environment. Despite this significance of HRD but, there is a lack of empirical researches or studies have specifically dealt with examining how HRD practices effect on organizational effectiveness practically, in universities and institute level. This study tries to address this gap. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships between the practices of human resource development and organizational effectiveness in the Iraqi public universities context. This study adopted the survey method to collect primary data. The survey was created by the google-forms tool, which is commonly used by researchers for collecting data. The web-based questionnaires were distributed through E-mail designed to collect the relevant data from the public universities of Iraq including a number of deans, heads of departments, faculty members and principals of the execution units which seems to provide a corresponding sample for conducting data collecting and analyzing. An online questionnaire was distributed to around 342 employees, out of which 215 complete questionnaires were obtained. For analyzing the data, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), structural equation modeling (SEM) were used. This study finds that HRD practices such as talent development, training and development, organizational development and career development have a positive and significant impact on organizational effectiveness. This study has confirmed the significance of HRD practices and how they are positively related to organizational effectiveness. The results of this study have the potential to help the decision makers of universities to develop effective HRD practices which will enable them to improve employees’ competencies in enhancing organizational effectiveness. Also, this study recommends universities’ managers to use effective HRD practices which are aimed at building excellent employees’ competencies and increase the integration between human resource development and organizational effectiveness.

The objective of this study is to determine the type of governance of the four main agricultural value chains in Tamaulipas, northeast of Mexico. For the preparation of this research used a qualitative design, using a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews to a sample of representatives of the four selected chains. The results showed that in all the studied networks, control and coordination capacity is limited by the influence that has a link on the rest of the chain. In all cases, was that the industrial link is who leads the chains and exert control over the rest of the links. The results showed that, when the industrial link is located close geographically to the rest of the links (chains of rice and sugar cane), the chains showed a hierarchical type, where the industrial exercised dominion over the rest of the links and captures most of the income. On the other hand, in chains where control is exercised by links that are outside the territory (chains of soybeans and sorghum), they function as captive chains, putting the rest of the chain to its influence and control.
Risk factors for infection with carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae: a case-case-control study
Authors: Gómez Rueda Viviana , Zuleta Tobón John Jairo
Published: December 2019

Objetive: To evaluate the association between quinolone exposure and the emergence of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) and to estimate CRKP-specific mortality.Methods: Case-case-control study implemented in a tertiary care institution. Three groups of patients were analyzed: 61 consecutive cases of infection with CRKP (Group I); 61 randomly chosen cases of patients infected with carbapenem-sensitive Klebsiella pneumoniae (CSKP; Group II); and 122 randomly chosen controls without CRKP or CSKP infection. Matching was based on the length of stay in intensive care unit and the date of bacterial isolation. An active search was performed for patients with CRKP and CSKP infection, and prospective cases were included in the study. We compared the results for Groups I and II against those for the controls by using two conditional logistic regression analyses that included infection as the dependent variable and controlled for time at risk and co-morbidities.Results: Exposure to quinolones was not associated with CRKP infection: no association was found in the analysis of CRKP with the controls (OR= 1.7; 95% CI: 0.2-6.5) or in the analysis of CSKP against the controls (OR= 0.6; 95% CI: 0.2-1.6). Use of carbapenems (OR = 3.3; 95% CI: 1.2-9.3) and colonization with CRKP (OR = 3.3; 95% IC: 1.2-9.3) were specific risk factors for infection with CRKP. Mortality associated with CRKP was 61.3%.Conclusion: No association was found between exposure to quinolones and infection with CRKP; however, colonization by CRKP and use of carbapenems are risk factors for infection with CRKP.

Introduction: There is controversy in medical literature regarding the use of electromagnetic fields to promote bone healing.Methods: After designing and building devices capable of generating an electromagnetic field for this study, their safety was confirmed and the electromagnetic therapy was randomly allocated and compared to placebo in patients with fracture of the femoral diaphysis. Treatment began six weeks after the fracture and it was administered once a day, during 1 h, for eight consecutive weeks. Twenty devices were built, 10 of which were placebo-devices. Between June 2008 and October 2009, 64 patients were randomized in two different hospitals and were followed for 24 weeks. The mean age was 30 years (18-59) and 81% were males.Results: Healing observed at week 12 was 75% vs. 58% (p= 0.1); at week 18, it was 94% vs. 80% (p= 0.15); and at week 24, it was 94% vs. 87% (p= 0.43) for the device group and the placebo group, respectively.Discussion: This study suggests that an electromagnetic field stimulus can promote earlier bone healing compared to placebo in femoral diaphyseal fractures. Faster bone healing translates into sooner weight bearing, which – in turn – permits quicker return to normal daily activities.

Objective: To determine the in vitro toxicity of different concentrations of sevoflurane in cells exposed to X-ray. Methods: The genotoxic effects of sevofluorane were studied by means of the micronucleus test in cytokinesis-blocked cells of irradiated human lymphocytes. Subsequently, its cytotoxic effects on PNT2 (normal prostate) cells was determined using the cell viability test (MTT) and compared with those induced by different doses of X-rays. Results: A dose- and time-dependent cytotoxic effect of sevofluorane on PNT2 cells was determined (p> 0.001) and a dose-dependent genotoxic effect of sevofluorane was established (p> 0.001). Hovewer, at volumes lower than 30 μL of sevofluorane at 100%, a non-toxic effect on PNT2 cells was shown. Conclusion: Sevofluorane demonstrates a genotoxic capacity as determined in vitro by micronucleus test in cytokinesis-blocked cells of irradiated human lymphocytes.
