Rice farming is an activity that is mostly carried out by rural communities in Aceh. Kuta Baro District is one of the sub-districts in Aceh Besar District and is the center of rice production but is inseparable from the various risks that threaten it. Rice farming does not always run smoothly, the declining level of farmers income can be caused by several risks thet often occur. Various risks faced by farmers in farming will be obstacle for farmers to increase production and farmers income. Considering the many risks faced by farmers and the limited resources and time that farmers have in overcoming the risks.so that no all risks can be handled properly, only some risks must be prioritizedbased on the sources of risks in rice farming. The purpose of this study is to map the most influential risks to rice farming and to determine the most important priority risks to rice farming in Kuta Baro District. The location of this research was chosen purposively, with a sampel of 30 farmers. The data used are primary data and secondary data. The methods and FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) methods. The results showed that based on the calculation of the RPN (Risks  Priorty Number )then there are 5 risks out of 26 risks faced by farmers thet must be prioritized. The risks that must be prioritized first are drought whit an RPN value of 329,07, whater shortages and whater restrictions from irrigation with an RPN value of 290,67, the third is pest and disease attacks eith an RPN 16, the four uncertain climate changes with an RPN value.

Comparison of English Teacher Feedback and Automated Writing Feedback on the Quality of English Language Learners’ Essay Revision
Authors: Han Feifei , Wang Zehua
Published: February 2022

This study compared the effects of teacher feedback (TF) and online automated feedback (AF) on the quality of revision of English writing. It also examined the strengths and weaknesses of the two types of feedback perceived by English language learners (ELLs) as a foreign language (FL). Sixty-eight Chinese students from two English classes participated the study. The two classes received TF and online AF (Scoring Network) respectively upon completion of their draft essays. While the two classes did not differ on the English writing proficiency, the class receiving TF obtained significantly higher scores on essay revision, indicating the better effect of TF. Students’ responses showed that, overall, TF was more positively commented upon because the encouraging words motivated students to revise. In contrast, the students receiving online AF criticized the Scoring Network for their difficulty to comprehend the feedback they were provided. The results suggest that English teachers may consider using TF as a major source of feedback in English writing for ELLs in China.

TiO2–TiOF2 composite has been synthesized in plasma by the unique method of pulsed high-voltage discharge due to the destruction of Ti electrodes and polytetrafluoroethylene wire. TiO2–TiOF2 features have been investigated by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It has been shown that composite with a porous surface morphology includes the nanocrystallites of sizes ranging from 40 to 200 nm. The average diameter of the pore is 3–5 nm. Electrochemical characterization of the nanostructured porous TiO2–TiOF2 composite was carried out in view of its application as an anode-active material for Li-ion battery. The initial high specific capacity of the composite is equal up to 1370 mAh g−1 at a rate of 20 mA g−1. It is higher (due to the TiO2 presence) in comparison with up-to-date TiOF2 anode materials. Galvanostatic charge–discharge cycling of the Li/TiO2–TiOF2 cell in the range of 3.0–0.005 V yields 205 mAh g−1 after 20 cycles.

Authors: Al-Mahdi Osama , Bailey Lucy
Published: February 2022

This article reports on an exploratory study of parental involvement in primary education conducted in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Drawing on a survey of 154 parents across 16 schools, parent views on parental involvement are explored – specifically, beliefs and experiences about parental involvement, and who should be held responsible for ensuring parental involvement. The study finds that the participants viewed all types of parental involvement identified by Epstein (2011) as important, and that it was emphasized by their children’s schools, but had a school-centered view of home–school relations. Furthermore, they identified a range of barriers to parental involvement, with parents’ other responsibilities featuring as the most important. Cultural factors influencing parental involvement within the specific cultural context of Bahrain are discussed.
„Capellae maiores et minores” i różne sposoby ich kształtowania w architekturze sakralnej po Soborze Trydenckim
Authors: Krasny Piotr
Published: February 2022

Reformy liturgiczne po Soborze Trydenckim doprowadziły do zasadniczych zmian w funkcjonowaniu liturgicznym i w kształtowaniu różnych partii świątyni. W różnych środowiskach terminem kaplica określano więc bądź prezbiterium, bądź aneksy ściśle powiązane z korpusem, bądź też autonomiczne budowle służące kultowi relikwii i cudownych obrazów oraz grzebaniu dostojnych zmarłych. Ten zamęt terminologiczny nie został uporządkowany w tekstach teoretyczno-artystycznych, takich jak mediolańskie Instructiones fabricae et supellectilis ecclesiastice. Nie sposób zatem wypracować jednoznacznej definicji nowożytnej kaplicy przykościelnej na użytek historii sztuki.
The effects of yawn-sigh, lip trill and tongue relaxation exercises on frequency and amplitude perturbation of voice in vocal training
Authors: Orhon Elif Şahin , Malkoç Tülün
Published: February 2022

In this study, the usability of lip trill, yawn–sigh and tongue relaxation exercises in vocal training programmes was evaluated. The exercise programmes were carried out with first-year students in a music teacher education programme, and the effect of these exercises on the quality of the voice was measured using acoustic measurement techniques. Thirty-one subjects were included in the study. The experimental group (n = 16) and the control group (n = 15) were determined randomly. While determining the groups, attention was paid to ensure that the characteristics of the groups were the same. An 8-week vocal exercise programme (one session per week) was carried out with the students in the experimental group. The voices of the students were recorded before and after each exercise, and then acoustic measurements of these recordings were made. The data obtained from the measurements conducted before the vocal exercises were compared with the measurement data obtained after the vocal exercises were carried out. The significance assessment of the differentiation of voice parameters in both the short term (comparison of the data obtained before the exercise and the data obtained immediately after the exercise) and in the long term (after the 8-week implementation phase) was made. A significant improvement was shown in voice quality in terms of frequency and amplitude perturbation parameters compared to the control group after each session and at the end of the 8-week exercise programme.

El hombre al que todos odiaron
Authors: Rodríguez López-Brea Carlos
Published: February 2022

El presente trabajo analiza el proceso de acoso y derribo que sufrió el líder de la CEDA, José María Gil-Robles durante la Guerra Civil española. En la primera parte se estudian las responsabilidades de dicho dirigente político en el golpe de Estado de 1936, al que se sumó esperando hacerse con el poder a medio plazo. Las cosas no salieron para él según lo esperado y su figura sufrió un profundo desgaste en los dos bandos en liza. Tras el 18 de julio, los republicanos vieron confirmada la vieja sospecha de que Gil-Robles era un conspirador que quería derribar la democracia por la fuerza, mientras que en la llamada España nacional, donde la Falange se hizo con el control de la propaganda, la CEDA y su jefe simbolizaban la “vieja política” que el falangismo supuestamente iba a  liquidar.
El Rocío
Authors: Mancha Castro José Carlos
Published: February 2022

Este artículo supone una aproximación al fenómeno religioso popular del Rocío durante los primeros años de la dictadura de Franco. La Virgen y su ritual fueron instrumentalizados para la construcción y reproducción de los imaginarios franquistas en la Baja Andalucía, hecho que venía siendo ensayado por el nacionalcatolicismo desde la Restauración y que sería intensificado para confrontar los proyectos laicistas y las reformas económico-políticas de la Segunda República. Desde los primeros compases de la guerra civil, el ritual fue profundamente controlado por elementos pertenecientes a la cultura política nacionalcatólica, sirviendo para la socialización de los valores, los símbolos y el modelo ideológico que defendían las derechas reaccionarias y tradicionalistas y para legitimar procesos de nacionalización, militarización, fascistización y recatolización. No obstante, se dio una hibridación de los imaginarios colectivos de las dos culturas políticas hegemónicas en el régimen de Franco: la fascista falangista y la nacionalcatólica y tradicionalista.
Filmar en el Rif: 1907-1927
Authors: Martínez Álvarez Josefina
Published: February 2022

El cine, desde su nacimiento, formó parte de la actividad civilizadora occidental, ya que los noticiarios cinematográficos recogían imágenes que alimentaban el sentido de pertenencia, tanto en las metrópolis como en los enclaves coloniales y que, al producir la admiración de los indígenas, abrían el camino para su aculturación. Desde 1907 y hasta la pacificación del protectorado español de Marruecos en 1927, el cine estuvo presente en la acción española. Los implicados en su consecución mostraron sus expectativas sobre el poder del cine: los ejércitos, esperando el refrendo de sus victorias; los críticos y los cineastas, insistiendo en la producción de una gran película sobre los logros nacionales en la modernización del Norte de África; los empresarios, prestos a aprovechar las oportunidades, y el público, dispuesto a emocionarse con la magia y el conocimiento ofrecido a través de la pantalla.
Les juifs des protectorats marocains dans les années 1920
Authors: Touboul Eva
Published: February 2022

En los años 1920 ambos Protectorados francés y español en Marruecos se enfrentan con una misma problemática, la del estatuto administrativo de una población judía globalmente mucho más occidentalizada que los autóctonos musulmanes. Tanto los israelitas franceses, promotores principales de la aculturación de los judíos marroquíes, como los filosefardistas españoles se refieren a la situación de los judíos de Argelia para pedir una nacionalización masiva. Sin embargo, por motivos distintos, las decisiones tomadas por París y Madrid llevarán a mantener a los hebreos de Marruecos en una situación administrativa poco clara.

Educação patrimonial e a pedagogia freiriana
Authors: Duarte Ana Paula Moreira Pinto , Garcia José Luiz Lopes
Published: February 2022

A Educação Patrimonial, quando associada ao licenciamento ambiental, refere-se a um conjunto de ações educativas que visam a criação de diálogos entre a comunidade detentora do patrimônio cultural e a equipe de execução do trabalho de campo e laboratório em Arqueologia. Tornou-se uma ferramenta fundamental para o fortalecimento da autoestima, da identidade e preservação das memórias. No campo teórico, Paulo Freire (1921-1997) contribuiu sobremaneira para se pensar metodologicamente à Educação Patrimonial. Dessa forma, buscamos no presente artigo discutir os resultados do Programa de Educação Patrimonial do Projeto de Resgate, Monitoramento Arqueológico e Educação Patrimonial da Linha de Transmissão de 138kV Barbosa Ferraz – São Pedro do Ivaí, realizado nos municípios de São Pedro do Ivaí, São João do Ivaí e Barbosa Ferraz - PR.  Esse Programa fundamentou-se teoricamente e metodologicamente nas contribuições de Paulo Freire, tendo como princípio norteador o estabelecimento de uma educação democrática, libertadora e dialógica.

ANALYSIS OF SCREW CONNECTION IN AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS
Authors: JÍROVÁ Radka , PEŠÍK Lubomír
Published: February 2022

Air conditioning systems in vehicles require long-term reliability during their entire service life. Especially, a good sealing function is needed for the prevention of coolant leaking. Unfortunately, in specific cases, after a particular time, screw connections of the air conditioning circuit lose their tightness, and the coolant starts to leak. Therefore, this paper focuses on the analysis and design optimisation of screw connections. We used the finite element method for describing the sealing, screw and disc spring behaviour. Then, we proposed a new design of the disc spring to obtain the proper force-deformation characteristics of the connection and ensure the tightness of the screw connection.

The objective of this work was to design a differential assembly for an FSAE motor sports vehicle. The designed differential system consists of 3 braces made of AISI 1045 steel. The output shafts were made of AISI 4140 steel with hardened splines. These shafts were initially going to drive 94 mm constant velocity shafts. A 75 mm tripod joint was used to minimize the weight and cost of the system. The housing was held together with grade 12.8 hex head bolts, and the shafts were bolted onto the tri-pod joints using bolts of grade 8.8 which complies with FSAE rules. The input shaft which acts on the differential itself is made of EN36A steel and is where the drive sprocket is bolted to. All components were modeled using Finite Element Analysis to determine stresses and displacements under operating conditions.
STORYTELLING AND PRODUCT STOCKING: STRATEGIES APPLIED BY DIASPORA TOURISTS TO SYMBOLICALLY EXTEND THE VISIT TO THEIR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN
Authors: Berberović Denis , Kurtović Emir
Published: February 2022

Purpose – Purpose of this study is to understand how diaspora tourists as a specific tourist segment symbolically extend their holiday in the country of origin upon returning to the country of current living. Methodology – Aim of the research was to disclose underlying meanings of this specific consumption pattern. Data was collected through 24 semi-structured in-depth interviews with diaspora members from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Analysis was inductive, starting with microanalysis, proceeding then with axial coding around the revealed concept. Throughout analysis the comparative method was applied, alongside researcher's diary and memos as analytic tools. Findings – The concept of ‘bridging’ explains how diaspora tourists cross over from one reality to another on a symbolical level, i.e. when travelling back from the country of origin. It also is a symbolical bridging between complex of identities: the past identities and the present identity, which they have constructed in countries of current living. They seem to use two major strategies: storytelling and product stocking. Contribution – This paper reveals a new concept among diaspora tourists, i.e. their approach to extend their visit to the country of their origin on a symbolical level by using symbolically laden products. The research is further contributing by disclosing that diaspora tourists apply two different strategies in order to symbolically extend their home country holiday: the story telling strategy and the stocking strategy. Finally, it also suggests that the stocking strategy has two phases; the first phase being 'symbolic representation filling phase' and the second phase labelled as 'mainstream trend purchase phase'.
USING ANALYTIC HIERARCHY PROCESS (AHP) FOR TOURIST DESTINATION CHOICE: A CASE STUDY OF CROATIA
Authors: Blešić Ivana , Pivac Tatjana , Lena Lopatny Maja
Published: February 2022

Purpose – Understanding how and why people travel, decide and select a specific place, and what they expect from their destination to meet their actual needs is also a highly important topic. The goal of this article is to investigate the elements that influence Serbian visitors' decision to visit Croatia (Cratian coastline) as a destination. The most important characteristics, components, and types of tourism destinations are analysed. The definition of consumer behavior is explained, as well as the idiosyncrasies of the decision-making process. The most important internal and environmental elements that influence tourist decision-making are summarized. An examination of the cultural, societal, and personal psychological aspects that influence decision-making of Serbian tourists to travel to Croatian cost with different attributes like see, cultural and natural attractions, image, price, human resources is done. Methodology – As a result, the decision-making process is extremely difficult, particularly when determining which factors are more significant than others. The Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) method, which has a strong mathematical foundation, could be used to find a good solution to this problem. The Analytical-hierarchy process (AHP) is a systematic way to solving complicated problems that leverages hierarchical structures by generating priorities for various options decided by decision makers. AHP can aid tourism decision-making by examining a large number of decision factors (e.g., factors influencing destination choice, motives for visiting a place, hotel site selection, tourist indicators) and measuring the relevance of each component impacting the decision. The questionnaire used for this manuscript was taken from the paper Blešić et al. (2018). The questionnaire consist of five factors that include 22 items. Findings – Destination amenities, tourism infrastructure, cultural attractions, human resources, price, environmental features are the importnant attributes for choosing Croatian coast as tourism destination. Contribution – this study makes a valuable contribution by highlighting tourists’ motives for visiting coastline destinations in Croatia. Finally, understanding the motivations and preferences of tourists is critical to realizing the full potential of tourism. Consumer behavior research is crucial for tourism sector stakeholders because it can provide important insights into who the tourist is and how stakeholders (travel agencies, hotels, restaurants, food producers, cultural organizations, and so on) can target and develop markets successfully. This research will help researchers better understand what inspires Serbian tourists to visit a Croatian coastal location. The findings will indicate the most common travel motivations that lead Serbian travelers to choose Croatia as their vacation location.
THE EFFECT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON THE CROATIAN TOURIST SECTOR
Authors: Bogdan Siniša , Šikić Luka , Bareša Suzana
Published: February 2022

Purpose – The COVID-19 pandemic, unprecedented in terms of the speed at which it spread globally, affected the whole world swiftly after the initial outbreak and has produced heterogeneous effects on various industrial sectors and particularly pronounced effects on the tourism industry. This paper analyses the effect of the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic through Europe on the tourist stocks in Croatia by means of application of the event study methodology. Methodology – The analysis starts with a descriptive overview of the market-wide performance of different sectors in the period before, during and after the initial pandemic outbreak and subsequently explicitly tests for the COVID-19 outbreak effects on the tourist sector. First, a 35- day event window is specified so that important events related to the pandemic can be identified. Second, the first officially reported COVID-19 incidence in Italy and the World Health Organization’s declaration of a global pandemic are used as identified events in a shorter 10day window event study estimation. Findings – The results robustly point to the significant negative effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the returns of tourist stocks on the Zagreb Stock Exchange. However, the overall results do not provide evidence of the relatively stronger COVID-19 effects on the tourist sector, but rather equal effects across different sectors. Contribution – This research offers a novel comprehensive review of the literature regarding the research topic and provides insights into the sectoral effects of the global financial shock caused by the COVID-19 pandemic on the local market. As this pandemic is increasing the market volatility, this research will be of importance to fund managers and carries implications for economic policy in terms of sectoral stimulus distribution and debt refinancing.

Published: February 2022

Purpose – Numerous new forms aimed at meeting the sophisticated needs of modern consumers characterize tourism, as one of the fastest growing sectors in the world. In such conditions, the concept of slow tourism gained importance accompanied with a strong need to slow down the pace of life. The aim of this paper is, in addition to explaining this phenomenon, to examine the manner of travel when visiting slow destinations in the autonomous province of Vojvodina, as well as to determine the goals and outcomes of tourist visits. Methodology – For the purposes of the research, authors form list of goals, outcomes and mode of travel. The list of goals and outcomes expected after the trip in the questionnaire was taken and adjusted to the scale applied by the authors Oh, Assaf and Baloglu (2016), while authors introduced some question to the last segment of questions about the mode of travel. Findings – Based on the results, it is concluded that the ways of travel of slow tourists are largely related to the goals and outcomes of tourists who visited Vojvodina, and all tourists included in this study are highly satisfied with Vojvodina as a slow destination. Contribution – The contribution of this study is reflected in the fact that slow tourism has not been sufficiently researched in Vojvodina, and this study is significant because it initiated research on this topic, which can be a great potential of this region.

The ever increase of moral degradation cases has proven the inability of Indonesian modern educational institutions to create students with good character. On the contrary, Islamic boarding school educational institutions are one of the institutions that are expected to be able to change the morals of the community, especially students to socialize through programs, regulations, and habits of students in Islamic boarding schools. This study aims to see the impact of the Taslihul Huda Islamic Boarding School education on the morals of the santri community through existing activities, programs, and regulations. The researcher used interviews and observations to find data from the head and boarding school administrators, the community, and the students who were there, then the researchers analysed and processed the data by triangulation. From the results of the study, it can be said that the existing programs and regulations at the Taslihul Huda Islamic boarding school are effective in shaping the morals of the santri and the community's ability to provide positive responses to students in engaging with the community.

Authors: Krueger Van S. , Shigley Christian , Bokshan Steven L. , Owens Brett D.
Published: February 2022

» The most common type of humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament (HAGL) is a purely ligamentous avulsion involving the anterior inferior glenohumeral ligament (IGHL), but other variants are seen, including posterior lesions and those with an osseous avulsion.

» A central lesion between the intact anterior and posterior bands of the IGHL is gaining recognition as a distinct clinical entity.

» HAGL lesions are most commonly seen in patients with anterior instability without a Bankart tear or in those with persistent symptoms despite having undergone a Bankart repair.

» Magnetic resonance imaging is the most sensitive imaging modality. An arthrogram is helpful with subacute and chronic lesions when the joint is not distended. Arthroscopy is the gold standard for diagnosis.

» While some have reported success with nonoperative management, surgical repair with either arthroscopic or open techniques has provided a high rate of successful outcomes; however, the literature is limited to mostly Level-IV and V evidence.

Background

Although neoadjuvant therapy (Nac) is recommended for high-risk resectable pancreatic cancer (R-PDAC), evidence regarding specific regimes is scarce. This report aimed to investigate the efficacy of S-1 Nac for R-PDAC.
Methods

In a multicenter phase II trial, we investigated the efficacy of Nac S-1 (an oral fluoropyrimidine agent containing tegafur, gimeracil, and oteracil potassium) in R-PDAC patients. The protocol involved two cycles of preoperative S-1 chemotherapy, followed by surgery, and four cycles of postoperative S-1 chemotherapy. Two-year progression-free survival rates were the primary endpoint. Overall survival (OS) rates and median survival time (MST) were secondary endpoints.
Results

Forty-nine patients were eligible, and thirty-one patients underwent resection following Nac, as per protocol (31/49; 63.3%). Per-protocol analysis included data from 31 patients, yielding the 2-year PFS rate of 58.1%, and 2-, 3-, and 5-year OS rates of 96.8%, 54.8%, and 44.0%, respectively. MST was 49.2 months. Intention-to-treat analysis involved 49 patients, yielding the 2-year PFS rate of 40.8%, and the 2-, 3-, and 5-year OS rates of 87.8%, 46.9%, and 33.9%, respectively. MST was 35.5 months.
Conclusions

S-1 single regimen might be an option for Nac in R-PDAC; however, the high drop-out rate (36.7%) was a limitation of this study.
Fermatean Hesitant Fuzzy Sets with Medical Decision Making Application
Authors: Kirişci Murat
Published: February 2022

Fermatean fuzzy set idea obtained by combining fermatean fuzzy sets and hesitant fuzzy sets can be used in practice to simplify the solution of complicated multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems. Initially, the notion of fermatean hesitant fuzzy set is given and the operations related to this concept are presented. Aggregation operators according to fermatean hesitant fuzzy sets are given and basic properties of these operators are studied. To choose the best alternative in practice, a novel MCDM method that is obtained with operators has been created. Finally, an example of infectious diseases was examined to indicate the effectiveness of the suggested techniques.

Background: To assess the potential values of clinical characters, tear HSV-sIgA and tear HSV-DNA for prediction of stromal HSK recurrence.Methods: Tears and serum IgG/IgM/IgA from 187 stromal HSK patients were collected. All the 187 tear samples serum samples were tested by ELISA for sIgA/ IgG/IgM/IgA. 146 tear samples were also tested by PCR for tear HSV-DNA. Subsequent follow-up time for monitoring recurrence was performed on all the 187 patients for 2 to 55 months.Results: The positive rate of tear HSV-sIgA was 36.90% (69/187), while for tear HSV-DNA, the positive rate was 10.96% (16/146). Totally 29 of the 187 participants experienced recurrence (15.51%). Previous episodes, tear HSV-sIgA–positive and tear HSV-DNA-positive patients had significantly shorter relapse-free survival (P<0.01, P<0.01 and P=0.0123 respectively). Patients combined univariate and multivariate analysis together, only tear HSV-sIgA was the factor for predicting the risk of herpes keratitis recurrence (HR=2.768, 95% CI =1.148-6.674, p= 0.023). By using Youden index, the concentration of tear HSV-sIgA >= 22.34 U/ul indicated a higher risks for relapse (sensitivity=79.31%, specificity=63.92%, Youden index=0.43).Conclusions: Though episode, tear HSV-sIgA and tear HSV-DNA all have high correlation with recurrent herpes keratitis, only tear HSV-sIgA is considered to be the most appropriated candidate for predicting the risk of recrudescent HSK. As tear HSV-sIgA >=22.34 U/ul, the risks for recurrence will be much higher. It is might be an appropriate cut-off value for predicting recurrence.

Published: February 2022

Background
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has emerged as a prevention method or minimizer of the normal cognitive deterioration that occurs during the aging process. tDCS can be used to enhance cognitive functions such as immediate memory, learning, or working memory in healthy subjects.
Objective
The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of two 20-minute sessions of anodal transcranial direct stimulation on immediate memory, learning potential, and working memory in healthy older adults.
Methods
A randomized, single-blind, repeated-measures, placebo-controlled design was used. The sample is made up of 31 healthy older adults, of whom 16 were in the stimulation group and 15 in the sham group The anode was placed on position F7, coinciding with the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex region, and the cathode was placed on Fp2, the right supraorbital area (rSO).
Results
When comparing the results of the treatment group and the sham group, differences were observed in working memory and learning potential; however, no differences in immediate memory were found.
Conclusion
The results showed that tDCS is a non-invasive and safe tool to enhance cognitive processes in healthy older adults interested in maintaining some cognitive function.
Chronic Stress, Behavioral Tendencies, and Determinants of Health Promoting Activities in Nurses: A Mixed-Methods Approach
Authors: Heuel Luis , Lübstorf Svea , Otto Ann-Kathrin , Wollesen Bettina
Published: February 2022

Background

Demographic changes and medical advances require a highly professionalized nursing sector while nurses experience high, and often chronic, levels of stress. As high-quality care can only be sustained with a healthy workforce, individualized stress-alleviating interventions for nurses are needed. This study explored barriers and resources associated with health promoting activities in nurses with different stress levels (and work-related behavioral tendencies) and identified health behavior determinants based on the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) model.
Methods

Applying a cross-sectional mixed methods design, 43 nurses first filled out questionnaires assessing chronic stress (SSCS) and work-related behavior patterns (AVEM). Subsequently, interviews were conducted. With content analysis, categories of health promotion-related barriers and resources emerged. behavior determinants (self-efficacy, outcome expectancies), current health behavior, and B&Rs were quantified with magnitude and frequency coding. Finally, stress and AVEM patterns were triangulated with behavioral determinants and barriers and resources.
Results

Of the included nurses, 84% were chronically stressed while 49% exhibited unhealthy behavioral tendencies at the workplace. 16 personal and organizational themes (six resources, ten barriers) were identified that influence health promotion behaviors. Stress was associated with resource frequency (p = .027) and current health promotion activities (p = .07) whereas results concerning AVEM patterns were not easily interpretable. Self-efficacy significantly explained variance in health behaviors (p = .003). Implications for future health behavior change interventions in nursing populations are discussed.
Conclusion

Health promotion related barriers & resources affect health promotion in nurses. Practitioners need to design interventions that address population specific barriers for sustainable health promotion.

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the acute stress on the heart following one session of high intensity interval training in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) versus healthy controls. Methods. High intensity aerobic exercise was performed by 4x4 minutes intervals (90-95% of maximal heart rate), followed by a ramp protocol to peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak). Echocardiography was performed before, and 30 minutes after exercise. Heart rhythm was monitored 24h pre-exercise, during and 24h post exercise by Holter electrocardiogram. Results. After exercise we report a reduction in in both groups in the early diastolic peak mitral annular velocity, the ratio of mitral peak early to late diastolic inflow. Further, left atrial end-systolic volume was reduced after exercise. The LV end-diastolic wall thickness increased in CG. T2D had significant more supraventricular extrasystoles per hour before and after exercise. Conclusion. One single session of exhaustive exercise induced acute cardiac alterations in both left- and right-sided cardiac chambers with reduction in volumes and indices of systolic and diastolic dysfunction in both T2D patients and controls. There was no indication of different stress response in T2D compared to controls. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02998008
