Authors: Silveira Leonardo Lemos , Frizzo Giovanni
Published: November 2021

O artigo trata de investigar a organização do trabalho pedagógico (TP) da Educação Física (EF) em contexto de desigualdade social e pobreza, a partir de uma investigação em uma escola da rede pública municipal de Pelotas. A pesquisa se caracteriza por ser do tipo exploratória (Gil, 2002) de caráter analítico interpretativo. Para tanto, a concepção de método de apropriação da realidade pelo pensamento se fundamentou no materialismo histórico dialético para que possamos realizar a análises dos dados da realidade. Para a escolha da escola que estivesse localizada em uma região de desigualdade social utilizamos os dados do Plano de Habitação de Interesse Social (PLHIS, 2013). Ao analisarmos as condições efetivas do trabalho pedagógico, começamos a compreender as relações existentes na organização do trabalho pedagógico da Educação Física e o contexto de pobreza. Assim, entendemos que tanto a escola como os professores e professoras realizam a reelaboração da organização escolar e do trabalho pedagógico para adaptarem a escola e suas aulas ao contexto social da localidade. Este estudo nos mostrou que existem movimentos resistentes, tanto dos professores e professoras como dos estudantes, ao modo de educação capitalista, partindo da reorganização do trabalho pedagógico para novas possibilidades que reelaboram o antigo para a aplicação do que é novo, do que foi transformado e superado.

Published: November 2021

La mayoría de las personas con discapacidades físicas no participan en deportes regularmente y mucho menos en deporte de rendimiento. Por lo tanto, se necesita conocimiento sobre aquellos factores que inciden en la participación deportiva en los diferentes para deportes ofertados. Por esta razón, el presente estudio indagó en la percepción de dichos factores por parte de las mujeres para atletas que practican Para Powerlifting, teniendo como antecedente que de ese grupo poblacional ha existido menor crecimiento numérico a lo largo de los años. Para ello, se encuestaron 49 deportistas de 13 países participantes en el Bogotá 2018 World Para Powerlifting “Americas Open Championships”. Se logró identificar que la práctica del Para Powerlifting es un motivador importante debido a su oportunidad de conseguir un desarrollo deportivo profesional, que barreras como la falta de escenarios deportivos y adecuación específica de acuerdo con las necesidades de las personas con discapacidad y del deporte son altamente percibidas por las para atletas que adicionalmente manifiestan que, a nivel gubernamental se han tomado medidas. Sin embargo, aún falta mayor trabajo para lograr la masificación del para deporte en la población femenina.
Derivational Potential of Pronouns in German and Russian languages
Authors: Melgunova A. V.
Published: November 2021

The question of the use of pronouns as an element in the process of word formation of lexical units of the German and Russian languages is considered. The material was texts related to different genres: journalistic, popular science, scientific, artistic. The novelty of the research is seen in the comparison of the word-formation potential of pronouns in two languages, the word-formation system of which has some differences. The result of a comparative analysis of vocabulary related to different parts of speech is presented. Particular attention is paid to the possibility of using personal pronouns that are involved in nominal word formation. It is shown that lexical units with components — personal pronouns in the Russian language are less typical, however, they are used in texts of a certain subject and in some cases are tracing copies from the corresponding foreign words. Attention is paid to the emergence of neologisms and occasionalisms, the use of borrowings. The question is raised about the role of context in the interpretation of words with pronominal components. It is concluded that the derivational potential of pronouns is higher in German, but the lexical units of the Russian language can also be formed using similar elements. An increase in the number of words of this type in the Russian language is noted due to the translated terminology from the Germanic languages.
Model for Describing of Speech Genre “Spiritual Essay”: Basic Parameters and Implementation (Theolinguistic Aspect)
Authors: Smolina A. N.
Published: November 2021

A parametric model for describing the “essay” speech genre functioning in the church-religious style, which is called spiritual on the basis of its intentional, thematic-content, illocutionary and other features, is presented. The author suggests using the following parameters in the analysis of an essay with spiritual (religious-Christian) content: addresser, addressee, spiritual and religious intentions of the author, spiritual and religious thematic basis of content, composition, argumentation, used Christian images, tactics and strategies, representative linguistic stylistic means, intertextual content. The implementation of this model is shown on the basis of the text «“The effect of proximity” in history and everyday life» written by Archimandrite Makarii (Veretennikov). A spiritual essay is defined as a genre of a church-religious style: a text-reflection created by a clergyman and addressed to a representative of Christian culture, reflecting the personal experiences and impressions of the author. In the final part of the work, it is stated: the spiritual essay is realized as an independent genre and becomes an element of the structure of another genre, for example, writing, diary, etc., that is, it is embodied as an intragenre. The collection of spiritual essays by Archimandrite Savva (Mazuko) “Love and Emptiness” is used for research. The comparative analysis is designed to accurately and convincingly show the specifics of a spiritual essay.

Authors: Dubova M. A. , Larina N. A.
Published: November 2021

The question of ways of creating a spatial continuum in the early stories of I. A. Bunin “On the wrong side”, “On the farm” and “On the Donets”, united by a single principle of nomination and included in the first book of the writer’s prose “To the end of the world” (1897) is considered in the article. The semantics of the title actualizes the spatial component of the author’s linguistic picture of the world, which determined the path of linguistic and stylistic analysis of the linguistic material of stories. The authors pay special attention to the means of lexical representation of space as one of the basic linguo-cognitive categories. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that the language material has been identified, systematized and described, which makes it possible to determine the individual author's characteristics in the creation of the spatial continuum of I. A. Bunin’s early stories. The relevance of the study is due to the appeal to the problems of cognitive linguistics. On the basis of statistical, descriptive and linguo-cognitive methods of analysis, the authors identify and describe the means of lexical representation of the spatial model created in the stories of I. A. Bunin, which is characterized by a clear structuredness and individuality of the author’s approach. In the course of the study, the authors come to conclusions that make it possible to characterize the features of the construction of space in the early stories of the writer, taking into account the individual characteristics of the author's world modeling, and also to analyze the linguistic parameters of the idiostyle of I. A. Bunin.

Authors: Zhatkin D. N. , Ryabova A. A.
Published: November 2021

The article continues a series of works devoted to the Russian reception of the Scottish writer James Hogg (1770—1835), a famous interpreter of folk ballads and author of “The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner” (1824). The facts and materials related to the perception of J. Hogg in Russia in the middle of the XIX — early XX century are collected and summarized. It is noted that during the period under review, no new translations of J. Hogg's poetry and prose into Russian were created, however, in the articles of leading literary critics (N. G. Chernyshevsky, M. L. Mikhailov, A. V. Druzhinin) when analyzing the works of N. V. Gogol, T. Goode, the translation activity of I. S. Turgenev expressed opinions on certain aspects of the biography and work of the Scottish author. It has been established that the main source of information about J. Hogge and his work was for the Russian reader of the second half of the 19th — early 20th centuries translated publications on the history of English literature and culture, other books by Western European researchers published in Russia. The manifestations of interest of Russian researchers and popularizers of English literature in the work of J. Hogg are comprehended, with special attention paid to the article by N. A. Solovyov-Nesmelov “James Hogg”, which was a literary sketch about the childhood of the writer, and the essay by K. F. Tiander the novel of the first quarter of the 19th century, which offers a different assessment from the predecessors of the Scottish author’s activities as a continuer of the traditions of M. Edgeworth.
“Faustian Theme” in Slavic Literary Monuments: Problematics of Motives
Authors: Zavelskaya D. A. , Novozhilov D. M.
Published: November 2021

The issue of conceptual correlation of Slavic stories about Savva Grudtsyn and Pan Tvardovsky with the concepts of “Faustian theme”, “Faustian legend” and “Faustian story” is considered. The question is raised about the legitimacy of referring the Slavic variants of the motive of the contract with the devil to the general group of similar motives by analogy with the “Faustian” one. A review of domestic and foreign scientific literature devoted to the difference and similarity of Slavic plots with the legend of Faust, as well as common sources and typological characteristics of the features of the “Faustian theme” is carried out. The results of a comparative analysis of texts about Faust, Savva Grudtsyn and Pan Tvardovsky are presented. Special attention is paid to the comparison of the anonymous work about Savva Grudtsyn with the novel by the Norwegian writer M. K. Hansen. The novelty of the research is seen in the fact that for solve this problem a systematic literary methodology is proposed in the key of historical poetics, based on the differentiation of the analysis of plots, motives, the system of characters and semantic accents of works. The relevance of the study is due to the introduction into scientific circulation of previously poorly studied texts of literature and folklore, in which the plot of a contract with a demon is seen. The definitions of specific motives are given, which make it possible to differentiate literary monuments according to the principle of a plot model and a system of characters. The author's development in relation to the sources of the specified plot type is presented.
Evacuation of “Children of North”: an Attempt to Mitigate Social Problems during Civil War
Authors: Chebakovskaya A. V.
Published: November 2021

On the basis of archival sources, the experience of the evacuation of socially disadvantaged children of Karelia to the Kharkov province in 1919—1920 is revealed, the life support system of the “state child” in the Giev colony is analyzed. The study of this specific method of providing social assistance to children, used in the extreme conditions of the Civil War, made it possible to reveal the complexity and riskiness of such activities. The central place in the article is devoted to the study of the food issue, the supply of uniforms and other problems of providing for the colonists. The organizational component of the process of evacuation and re-evacuation of children is characterized, changes in the material base of the colony are shown, problems in the implementation of educational work within the institution are identified. Particular attention is paid to the characteristics of the medical and sanitary services for the inmates of the Giev colony with the definition of the sanitary and hygienic conditions of life in the institution, the availability of personal hygiene items for the children, as well as their examination by doctors. It is shown in the article that the supply of food and clothing for the inmates of the colony almost completely fell on the shoulders of its employees, who had to independently attract additional funding, improve the material living conditions of children, and look for the necessary resources for the development of subsidiary farming and workshops.
Sustainability disclosure and its impact on firm's value for Energy and Healthcare industry
Authors: Constantinescu Daniela
Published: November 2021

This paper investigates the relationship between sustainability disclosure measured through the combined and individual environmental, social, and governance (ESG) scores and the value of European companies from energy and health care industries. The reasons for this research are the increased awareness of sustainability disclosure, the inclusion of nonfinancial information in corporate reporting and possible added value to the company, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and its impact on the global economy. The sample consists of 305 observations for 61 European companies from different categories in the energy industry and 225 observations for 45 European companies in the health care industry. To apply the research model to the samples of companies set as panel data, two linear regressions were designed, each using a different dependent variable to increase the reliability of the outputs. The results indicate a negative and significant correlation between the environmental factor and firms’ value for the energy sector and no influence of the sustainability disclosure on the value of companies in the health care industry. The research contributes to the literature by addressing the impact of sustainability disclosure on the value of the European companies from sensitive industries, using both the combined and individual ESG scores to measure sustainability disclosure. Furthermore, the study encourages other academic research on this subject.
The Persistent Legacy of the Fallen Empires. Assessing the Effects of Poland's Historical Partitions on Contemporary Social Norms Regarding Education
Authors: Herbst Mikołaj
Published: November 2021

This paper refers to the historical experience of Poland in order to demonstrate the importance of former institutions on present regional differences in the norms regarding education. Previous studies revealed significant discrepancies between the scholastic achievements of students in different regions in Poland, ones that correspond to the partition of the country by its three neighbours (Austria, Prussia, and Russia), lasting from the late 18th century to the close of WWI. In particular, students in the former Austrian partition perform better than their peers in the two other regions. In this study, a self-designed survey of parents is used to operationalize different kinds of norms regarding education. As it turns out, parents from the region formerly under Austrian rule show more trust in educational institutions, more belief in the formative role of schooling, and less conviction in the material returns from education. The results show that contemporary discussions on the geography of educational achievements need to take into account the broad cultural context of education.
Experimental study on earth pressure reduction of waste tyre bales used as a backfill for rigid retaining structures
Authors: Duda Aleksander , Siwowski Tomasz
Published: November 2021

Waste tyre-derived products, including whole tyres, tyre bales, shreds, chips and crumb rubber, have been widely used in geotechnical applications. In particular, tyre bales have considerable potential for use in the construction of a lightweight embankment or road foundation over soft ground, slope stabilisation or landslide repairs and the backfilling for retaining structures. Proper design of tyre bale structures requires a reliable strength analysis to ensure an adequate factor of safety. The analysis should utilise the properties of the tyre bales and the baled structures, which must be properly determined. A laboratory test programme was developed to determine the key strength parameters of a backfill made of tyre bales supplemented with a lightweight aggregate. Full-scale direct shear tests were conducted to define the interface shear strength between the tyre bales and the filling material. Earth pressure reduction analysis based on the experimental results was performed as well to assess the effectiveness of waste tyre bales used as a backfill for rigid retaining structures.

Published: November 2021

The objective was to study the factors associated with inappropriate reduced doses of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) in real outpatient practice.Methods and materials. 10663 case histories of patients hospitalized to the therapeutic clinic of the university for 5 years (2014 — 2018) were studied, 1307/10663 (12,3 %) case histories of patients with AF were selected. Factors associated with inappropriate low doses of anticoagulant therapy (ACT) with NOACs at prehospital treatment were studied.Results. NOACs received 57.7 % (384/665) of patients with AF at the outpatient stage: rivaroxaban — 180/384 (46.9 %) patients, dabigatran etexilate — 110/384 (28.6 %) patients, apixaban — 94/384 (24.5 %) patients. Inappropriate reduced doses of NOACs were revealed in 68/384 (17.7 %) patients: apixaban — 22/94 (23.4 %), dabigatran — 18/110 (16,4 %) and rivaroxaban — 28/180 (15.6 %) (p>0,05). Patients who received inappropriate reduced doses of NOACs as compared to those who received standard doses of NOACs had higher frequency of major bleedings in the past (7.4 and 1.0 %; p=0.014) and had higher risk of bleedings (HAS-BLED 1.7±1,1 and 1.2±1.0; p = 0.0002). Proportion of patients who had HAS-BLED≥3 in these groups were 19.1 % and 8.6 % (p=0.033). All patients who received inappropriate reduced doses of NOACs had modifiable risk factors of bleedings. 85.3 % of patients with AF who received inappropriate reduced doses of NOACs had high risk of stroke according to CHA2DS2-VASc scale.Conclusion. In real outpatient practice, NOACs were recommended to 57.7 % of patients with AF. 17.7 % of patients received NOACs s in inappropriate reduced doses. Frequency of major bleedings in the past and bleeding risk in AF patients with inappropriate reduced doses was higher than in patients with standard doses.

Repensar el periodismo a partir de la cultura participativa de las personas y los valores de la identidad profesional
Authors: García Kevin Alexis
Published: November 2021

Este artículo analiza la crisis del periodismo informativo clásico centrado en las personas. La revolución informática ha propiciado una devaluación de los valores superlativos de la industria periodística convencional, y el desplazamiento de su hegemonía en aspectos como la cobertura intensa y rápida de un tema o un área geográfica, el acceso a las altas fuentes de información, y el control de la distribución y generación de contenidos. Al tiempo, las personas han encontrado en el ecosistema virtual nuevos entornos a través de los cuales pueden asumir roles activos en la comunicación pública de información. En ese contexto, se argumenta que el periodismo para sobrevivir como campo profesional, está llamado a reimaginar su paradigma clásico de funcionamiento y repensar el rol del periodista, retornar a la comunicación, aumentar sus rasgos de identidad profesional frente a la proliferación de desinformación y, principalmente, enriquecer y diversificar en las personas sus formas de participación.

Matar a Jesús: una autora entre lo privado, lo público y lo político
Authors: Arias Laura , Hurtado Jonathan , Santana Juliana
Published: November 2021

A través de Matar a Jesús (2018), buscamos analizar la tensión que se teje entre lo personal y lo político, así como la manera en que la directora utiliza el cine como una herramienta de comunicación con la que da cuenta de sus experiencias personales, convirtiendo las imágenes en un elemento político cargado de elementos biográficos. Para ello se realiza un análisis a través de la fuente principal -Matar a Jesús (2018)- poniendo el foco en el espacio fílmico, ambiente sonoro y guion, ya que estos aspectos dan muestra de cómo lo privado también puede -o no- estar en lo público y viceversa. Inclusive, este producto audiovisual nos da una muestra de cómo el cine puede llevar al ámbito público los dolores y sentires privados, y a su vez, ser una vía de sanación y búsqueda por el perdón personal.
Anamnetyczny wymiar liturgii Triduum Paschalnego w tekstach Mszału Rzymskiego
Authors: Kwiatkowski Dariusz
Published: November 2021

Artykuł przedstawia anamnetyczny wymiar liturgii misterium paschalnego Chrystusa, które uobecnia się w czasie Triduum Paschalnego. W celu zrealizowania postawionego celu badawczego posłużono się metodą hermeneutyki liturgicznej oraz metodą krytyczno-praktyczną. Podstawowym źródłem opracowania są formuły modlitewne zawarte w Mszale Rzymskim. Odwołując się do tekstów liturgicznych zawartych w Mszale Rzymskim, artykuł ukazuje liturgiczne: hic, nunc i hodie wydarzeń paschalnych. Liturgiczna anamneza jest spoiwem łączącym wszystkie celebracje Triduum Paschalnego. W tym przypadku można mówić o jednej celebracji rozłożonej w czasie. Triduum Sacrum  przedstawia swego rodzaju tryptyk, czyli trzy różne obrazy. By jednak zobaczyć i zrozumieć sens tegoż tryptyku każdy obraz należy oglądać razem z dwoma pozostałymi. Liturgia Triduum Paschalnego uobecnia najpierw Ostatnią Wieczerzę, gdzie Chrystus ustanowił sakramenty Kapłaństwa i Eucharystii, następnie mękę i śmierć na krzyżu, spoczynek w grobie i w końcu zmartwychwstanie Jezusa. Artykuł pokazuje, że Pascha Chrystusa, czyli Jego przejście ze śmierci do życia nie jest tylko pobożnym wspominaniem faktów z historii zbawienia, ale ich rzeczywistym uobecnieniem w formie sakramentalnej. Dzięki temu człowiek każdej epoki może zanurzyć się w tajemnicy misterium paschalnego Chrystusa i korzystać z jego zbawczych owoców.
Spory w Kościele w Polsce wokół sposobów przyjmowania Komunii św. w dobie pandemii w perspektywie historyczno-teologicznej
Authors: Bartocha Waldemar
Published: November 2021

Doświadczenie czasu pandemii w Kościele w Polsce doprowadziło do intensyfikacji sporów wokół sposobów przyjmowania Komunii św. Różne kręgi, zwłaszcza tradycjonalistyczne, zaczęły propagować niewłaściwą argumentację teologiczną mającą na celu nie tylko podważenie zasadności udzielania Komunii św. na rękę, ale także możliwości ewentualnego zarażenia się wirusami przez Eucharystię. Celem artykułu jest ukazanie genezy tych sporów oraz reakcji Konferencji Episkopatu Polski i poszczególnych biskupów na działania podejmowane przez określone grupy osób bądź pojedyncze osoby rozpowszechniające, zwłaszcza w mediach społecznościowych, błędne poglądy teologiczne.  Po ukazaniu w pierwszej części opracowania istoty sporów oraz po wyodrębnieniu obszarów, do których można sprowadzić najczęściej pojawiające się błędy, w kolejnych częściach artykułu zostanie przedstawiona zarówno argumentacja historyczna, jak i teologiczna odnośnie kwestii udzielania Komunii św. na rękę.  Szerokie spojrzenie na zagadnienie, które w obecnym czasie wydaje się problemem krucjalnym, pozwoli wykazać prawdziwość postawionej we wstępie artykułu tezy. Błędem są bowiem wszelkiego rodzaju próby przeciwstawiania sobie obu form przyjmowania Komunii Świętej – „do ust” czy to „na rękę”. Nacisk w działalności mistagogiczno-katechetycznej Kościoła powinien być położony na to, co należy do istoty, czyli na godnym przyjmowaniu Najświętszego Sakramentu, a nie na absolutyzowaniu samej formy obrzędu. Spory w Kościele w Polsce wokół sposobów przyjmowania Komunii św. w dobie pandemii odsłoniły słabe strony życia Kościoła oraz rozwijające się przez lata nieprawidłowości, a także obnażyły poważne braki w formacji zarówno duchowieństwa, osób konsekrowanych jak i wiernych świeckich. Stąd też domagają się one konstruktywnej odpowiedzi ze strony Kościoła na płaszczyźnie jego pastoralnej działalności.

Published: November 2021

Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) play an important role for sugar consumption in Indonesia. Problem found with sugar industry in Indonesia is the low productivity of sugarcane because of cultivation techniques caused by low soil fertility. This research aimed to determine effect of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) and vermicompost in increasing the growth of sugarcane. The research method used Randomized Block Design (RBD) consisted of 2 factors with a combination of 6 treatments. The first factor was A1 = without PGPR A2 = PGPR (10 ml.L-1) and the second factor was P1 = 3.5 t.ha-1 (50% vermicompost recommended fertilizer), P2 = 7.t ha-1 (100% vermicompost recommended fertilizer) and P3 = 10.5 t.ha-1 (150% vermicompost recommended fertilizer). Variables of this observation are plant height, number of tillers, number of stems, number of internodes, stem diameter, brix value and the yield of sugarcane. At the age 7 months after planting, the treatment of PGPR application at a vermicompost dose of 7 t.ha-1 (78.46 t.ha-1) was able to reduce the need for a vermicompost dose which was shown by a higher yield value compared to without PGPR application with vermicompost 3.5 t.ha-1 and vermicompost dose of 7 t.ha-1. A higher stem weight obtained in the PGPR treatment when compared to the treatment without PGPR. At a vermicompost 7 t.ha-1 and a vermicompost 10.5 t.ha-1 showed a higher stem weight compared to vermicompost 3.5 t.ha-1.

Background:

Failure to prevent rebleeding after cerebral subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is the most frequent reason for high morbidity and mortality of aneurysmal SAH. Our study aims to identify the outcome after surgical clipping of aneurysmal SAH before and after the establishment of the neurovascular unit. The clarifications of the positive turnover in the outcome will be discussed.

Methods:

A retrospective cohort analysis was carried out on our experience with a controlled group of patients who underwent clipping for ruptured cerebral aneurysms (n = 61) from January 2015 to December 2019. A modified Rankin scale (mRS) was used to determine the outcome after 6 months of follow-up.

Results:

The median mRS score (i.e., outcome) on admission was 4, whereas it was with a median score of 2 six months after clipping (P ≤ 0.001). Overall, the cases with a good outcome were 63.9% of the sample, while the poor outcome conditions were 36.1%. The most cases with an improved outcome were after introducing the neurovascular unit, representing a transition of aneurysmal clipping practice in our center. The good outcome was changed from 42% to 76.7%, and the poor outcome was changed from 58% to 23.3% (P = 0.019). The crude mortality rate was similar to the rate worldwide (18%), with a noticeable decrease after organizing a neurovascular subspecialty.

Conclusion:

The outcome after clipping of ruptured SAH can be largely affected by the surgeon’s experience and postoperative intensive care. Organizing a neurovascular team is one of the major factors to achieve good outcomes.

Published: November 2021

The main objective of the study was to assess cost, returns and labor use status between mechanized and traditional rice farms in the Tarai of Nepal. The study was conducted using multistage sampling technique in Jhapa, Sunsari and Bardiya districts covering 274 mechanized and 220 traditional rice farms. Farm budget analysis was used to compute the cost and yield returns from both type of rice farms. The study revealed that the per hectare average human labor used by traditional farm was significantly higher (141.6 man days/hectare) than mechanized rice farm (72.7 man days/per hectare). The per hectare average machine hour used in mechanized farm was 14.0 hours. Number of bullock labor required in traditional rice farm was more than 4 times higher than in mechanized rice farm and was significant. Per hectare total cost of production in mechanized and traditional farms was NRs 85,434.6 and NRs. 95,993.6, respectively and the mean difference was significant. The mechanized rice farm had significantly higher income (NRs. 112711.1/ha) than traditional rice farm (NRs.102064.9/ha). The benefit csot ratio per hectare was significantly higher in mechanized farm (1.32) as compared to traditional(1.06). The variable cost saved in mechanized farm in comparison to traditional rice farm was NRs. 20,366.8 per hectare, which was 24.80 % and was significant. The study indicated that the use of farm machines for rice cultivation would significantly save the human labor cost, reduce cost of production, increase the yield thereby removing drudgery; addressing the labor shortage issues and making mechanized rice farm more profitable.

Published: November 2021

The vegetable seed is one of the growing high-value subsectors in Nepal because of the increasing commercialization of vegetable production, the deficit of seed supply, and the rising involvement of different actors at different levels of its value chain. In this context, the present study was designed to analysis the value chain of vegetable seeds with a special focus on the competitiveness of the value chain actors. The study was conducted in Western Rukum, Nepal in 2017. Data from 210 randomly selected vegetable seed producers using simple random sampling, 13 seed traders including seed collectors, seed companies and agro vets, eight enablers as well as information from secondary sources were collected and analyzed by using descriptive statistics. The result showed that even having nine functional vegetable seed marketing channels in the district there was a weak relationship among value chain actors. The actors involved in the production and marketing sides had different areas of interest. The producers were typically interested in access to technical input and market assurance in both price and quantity, on the other hand, the market actors were interested in quality assurance and market-led price fixation. Additionally, the market information was limited to the local level seed traders. In the contrast, networking among local traders was found very strong. However, they were also not sure about the quality of seed produced by farmers and had to wait until the quality test by the seed company to clear their product. The finding of this study indicates farmers should maintain the quality of seed, the seed traders should provide the essential information to producers regarding the price and quality standard that need to be met, and government agencies should increase the extension service on the technical know-how of high yielding varieties based on consumers demand to promote the export of the seeds.

Published: November 2021

In order to determine the benefit cost ratio analysis of Pleurotus ostreatus mushroom cultivation using different substrates an experiment was conducted in the field of Campus of Live Sciences, Tulsipur, Dang. Different substrates such as straw, khar, banana leaves and tree leaves were used for mushroom cultivation. On 30th day, the mycelium completely colonized the different substrate and reached pinhead stage of mushroom. After one week of mycelium colonization first harvesting was done and yield of 755gm,130gm,211gm and 300gm were obtained on rice straw,banana leaves,tree leaves and khar respectively. Then,second harvesting was carried out on 44th day and yield of 475gm,100gm,0gm and 180gm were obtained on rice straw, banana leaves, tree leaves and khar respectively. Total yield of 1230gm, 230gm, 211gm and 480gm were found on straw, banana leaves, tree leaves and khar respectively. Cost of cultivation under different substrates was almost similar and by anlaysing benefit obtained from mushroom cultivation under different substrates, benefit cost ratio was analysed and found to be 2.47,0.46,0.42 and 0.96 under straw,banana leaves, tree leaves and khar respectively. From this research it is clarified that it is benefical to grow Pleurotus mushroom using rice straw substrate as the benefit cost ratio is higher when rice straw was used as substrate than in any other substrates.

Dolpa is the largest district and one of the major apple-producing districts of Nepal. It had seemingly an increasing trend of production and productivity of apple despite having low productivity than the national average. A study was carried out to study the production and marketing status of the district. Preliminary studies were done and a household survey was carried out among 125 apple-growing farmers from different wards of Tripurasundari and Thulibheri Municipality. 10 commercial farmers in Juphal along with five wholesalers and retailers each based in Nepalgunj were also interviewed to observe the marketing status of apple. 16.59 % of the income was generated through apple production behind government jobs and other agricultural activities. Apple farming was found profitable with BC ratio of 1.39. Training, technical assistance, experience, and landholding were found to have a positive influence on the apple-growing farmers. The overall productivity of apple in the area was 7.55 MT per ha, which was lower than the national average. Improper Post-harvest handling and storage facility had created a post-harvest loss of 14.33 %. Most of the produce was marketed within the district only due to lack of good roads. Lack of irrigation and insect pest attack were the major production problems whereas lack of storage and poor transportation as the major marketing problems. Increasing the frequency of extension works, technical assistance and good transport of the produce were needed to be focused.
Evaluating Scalable Vector Graphics for Software Visualisation

Software visualisation employs various representations of software to help programmersbetter understand program code. However, there are many technologiesthat can be used to deliver software visualisations. These different software visualisationmedia have varying capabilities, and determining which medium isbest suited for a particular software visualisation application can be a complextask. To this end, this thesis presents a principled model for evaluating softwarevisualisation media. This model is then applied in the evaluation of the new“Scalable Vector Graphics” (SVG) standard, to determine if it is suited for use ina developing web-based software visualisation architecture. While the evaluationfinds that SVG can realise a broad range of software visualisations, it is clear thatit falls short in making the development of software visualisations as easy as itcould. This thesis presents a way forward for creating complex software visualisationswith SVG through the development of a domain-specific SVG library. Thefoundation for this library is illustrated and discussed.
Women only? an Exploration of the Place of Men within Nursing
Authors:   , Entwistle Mark
Published: November 2021

This dissertation came out of my wondering why there are still so few men going into nursing especially when one considers that the history of nursing reveals men have been a part of nursing for a long time. In New Zealand it is only since the mid seventies that men have been able to gain the exact same nursing qualifications as their women colleagues.

Men in nursing are still seen as unusual in that they work in a predominantly female occupation and have had their masculinity questioned by the myth that all men in nursing must be gay. There is also the notion that caring is a difficult task for men and is seen by society as a uniquely feminine ability. Both issues are related to dominant notions of masculinity. In addition to this there is currently a crisis in terms of a nursing shortage and it has been suggested that one way to resolve this crisis is to encourage more men into nursing. Thus this exploration as to why there are so few men in nursing is timely.

Men who choose nursing as a career risk challenging the traditional roles of their gender stereotype. A comprehensive search of the literature from different disciplines reveals deeper issues than just the commonly held assumption that nursing is not masculine. Exploring the issues of gender with a particular focus on masculinity has uncovered the concept of hegemonic masculinity. This describes how gender is practiced in a way that legitimises patriarchy, reinforcing the dominant position of men overiwomen as well as over other groups of men. It is these patriarchal attitudes that have seen men marginalised within nursing. On the one hand men in nursing could be seen as challenging the current dominant masculine ideal. However, on the other hand men in nursing may not challenge this hegemonic masculinity; instead often supporting the status quo in an effort to maintain their own masculinity.

The implication for nursing, if it is to increase the numbers of men in the profession, is to challenge this notion of hegemonic masculinity. This needs to be done appropriately by critically examining this concept rather than by merely replacing one hegemony with another. A greater awareness of how hegemonic masculinity and notions of gender have historically affected, and continue to affect the development of nursing is important. However, issues of gender and masculinity have often been overlooked in nursing education. It is now time for nursing education to include a critical exploration of gender issues and how it relates to men as part of undergraduate nursing education for both men and women students.
Critical Case Study: Supporting the New Graduate Nurse Entering Specialist Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing Practice
Authors:   , Haggarty Carmel Elizabeth Anne
Published: November 2021

This critical case study was undertaken for the purposes of illuminating information relating to new graduate nurses’ experiences in their first clinical placement, in order to consider ways an established entry to practice programme (the programme) can better support and enhance the students’ transition from student nurse to staff nurse within psychiatric mental health nursing practice.

Seven of the 1999 students of the programme participated in the research. The project provided the researcher with a variety of challenges related to her dual role as researcher and programme coordinator. Data was collected through the use of discussion groups, participants and researcher jointly identifying the themes that were explored. These themes related to preceptorship and support, socialisation of the new graduate and risk management.

The research has provided rich data that has and will continue to be used to inform future developments within both the educational and clinical components of the programme. The research has also provided opportunities for personal and professional growth through the sharing of experiences and working together to identify emancipatory action which has in turn led to transformation.
Transforming Experiences: a Reflective Topical Autobiography of Facilitating Student Nurse Development Through International Immersion Programmes
Authors:   , Levine Mary Anne
Published: November 2021

The focus of this study is the impact of an international education programme on baccalaureate nursing students taken by me, their teacher/professor, to become immersed in another culture. This is an unusual undertaking for a nursing education programme but it is one to which I have been passionately committed for more than 20 years. This study examines my life-work in a deeply reflective and narrative way. I have used many sources of data to assist in the creation of my story including the framework of Moustakas (1990) and Reflective Topical Autobiography as described by Johnstone (1999). My story is woven throughout this thesis as I gradually reveal more of myself as I feel that who I am should be a continuous thread that lends credence to multiple sections of this work. Several of my reflective stories about the immersion programme experiences, called here, vignettes are included, so that my reflections, thoughts, and feelings can be expressed. “I didn’t have to create the world I wrote about it. I realized that words could tell. [sic] That there was such a thing as an emotional sentence” (Lorde, 1984, p. 85). The genesis of the emotional sentence emerged through the use of interviews with student participants and my own introspective process. In this way I came to a new understanding of myself and my passion for this way of working.

I found that these educational experiences had the ability to change the personal and professional lives of participants. Students’ world views expanded exponentially as the true-life experiences in which they actively participated nurtured a profound metamorphosis. It is important to recognise the critical social nature of this work. I have carefully considered the issues of class and gender, poverty and powerlessness, and the inherent dialectic as key elements in the reflective process. The awareness of these social issues coupled with profound personal changes that occurred when immersed in another culture frame the contribution of this work to the profession of nursing in general and to midwifery specifically. In addition, I have been changed. My “way of being” has become radically different. I realise that I facilitate life transformation for participants by providing the platform; I realise the connection, potency, and power of student-teacher relationships; and most of all I learned that I teach from the heart.
Nurse Talk: Features of Effective Verbal Communication Used by Expert District Nurses
Authors:   , MacDonald Lindsay Margaret
Published: November 2021

This thesis represents an appreciative enquiry to identify features of effective verbal communication between nurses and patients.

Using a method developed by the Language in the Workplace Project (Stubbe 1998) two nurse participants recorded a small sample of their conversations with patients as they occurred naturally in clinical practice. These six conversations constitute the main body of raw data for the study. The data was analysed using a combination of discourse and ethnographic analysis.

Experience in nursing, particularly insider knowledge of the context of district nursing, helped me to uncover the richness of meaning in the conversations. The subtle interconnections and nuances could easily have been missed by an outside observer.

The study has shown that in their interactions with patients, expert nurses follow a pattern in terms of the structure and content of the conversations and it is possible to identify specific features of effective nurse-patient communication within these conversations. The most significant of these are the repertoire of linguistic skills available to nurses, the importance of small talk and the attention paid by nurses to building a working relationship with patients, in part, through conversation.

The findings have implications for nursing education and professional development.
Avances en Terapia Celular

Todos los tejidos de nuestro organismo se van desgastando con el paso del tiempo, y de forma natural son capaces de limitar este desgaste desarrollando una interesante capacidad de regeneración y reparación, lo cual nos permite alcanzar a la mayoría de los seres humanos la madurez y una esperanza de vida que se va elevando continuamente. Estos mecanismos de regeneración intrínsecos son muy limitados, posiblemente asociado a que durante el desarrollo y evolución de la especie hemos preferido aumentar nuestro sistema defensivo ante agresiones externas, mediante un entramado inmunológico muy eficaz, en lugar de seleccionar la regeneración de nuestros tejidos como ocurre en otras especies animales como el ocelote, la estrella de mar... a expensas de una menor capacidad defensiva ante agresiones externas; lo cual impide a nuestro organismo reparar o renovar grandes cantidades de tejido dañado de forma aguda por medios naturales. Actualmente, para paliar estar grandes agresiones a tejidos específicos, la medicina y en especial la cirugía ha desarrollado un sistema de trasplantes de órganos que, aún siendo en nuestro país uno de los más eficaces del mundo, no está exento de complicaciones como la escasez de donantes o el rechazo inmunológico.
