照顧歷程中靈性關懷-畢業照顧者的心聲
Authors: 邱惠茹 邱惠茹 , Hui-Ju Chiu 李孟芬
Published: November 2022

從擔任起家庭照顧者開始，即面臨生命中重大衝擊、改變及抉擇。許多家庭照顧者彷彿按下生命的暫停鍵，自己角色逐漸消失在照顧路上。本研究探討畢業照顧者從照顧歷程到責任終了後，靈性關懷介入對其照顧歷程的影響。以質性研究半結構式深度訪談進行資料蒐集，研究對象為曾擔任家庭主要照顧者至少1年以上，且結束照顧責任1～3年者。共訪問6位畢業照顧者，性別各半，年齡在23～61歲之間，5位基督徒及1位一般民間信仰者。訪談大綱經專家效度確認，訪談逐字稿以紮根理論分析。結果顯示家庭照顧者的照顧價值觀及生命反思隨著照顧歷程不斷變化，照顧歷程的靈性挑戰與悲傷歷程相似。提供靈性關懷可參考3R原則。家庭照顧者內在的自我靈性照顧深深連結於個人的信仰信念或社會規範中，是重要的復原因子。建議家庭照顧者本身要能主動向外與他人連結，向內接納自我，向人與至高者敞開心靈的通道；親友對家庭照顧者的靈性關懷，需持續至其結束照顧責任後。日常主動陪伴、連結與提供必要的支援，能預防其因失落而放棄生存意志。專業助人者在提供靈性關懷時，應視家庭照顧者為獨立需被關懷的個體；本研究並提出未來研究建議。

 

Being the main family caregiver means their lives are facing major impacts, changes, and choices throughout the entire caring process. Many family caregivers seem to press the pause button of their lives, and part-take in a completely different way of life. The purpose of the study is to explore the impact of spiritual care intervention on the care process of former primary family caregivers from the care process to the end of their responsibilities. Data collection was used semi-structured in-depth interviews. The subjects had taken the role as a primary family caregiver at least one year and had subsequently ended their responsibility for a minimum of one to a maximum of three years. Six former primary family caregivers were interviewed, among whose gender was equally distributed. Ages ranged from 23 to 61 years old. Five cases come from Christian background and one from traditional folk belief. The validity of the interview outline was agreed upon by experts. The interview scripts are analysed with grounded theory. The results show how care values and life reflections are constantly changing along with the care process. The spiritual challenge during of the care process is similar to the five stages of the grieving process. To provide spiritual care, one can refer to the 3R principles. The inner self-spiritual care of the family caregivers is deeply connected to the individual’s beliefs or social norms, and is an important resiliency factor. The family caregivers are encouraged to actively build connections outwardly, make peace with themselves inwardly, and open up their spirit to receive help from people and God. The spiritual care of relatives and friends for family caregivers are suggested to last beyond the end of the care. Daily active companionship, connection and provision of necessary support can prevent the caregivers from giving up their will to survive due to loss. When professional helpers provide spiritual care, they should treat family caregivers as independent individuals who need to be cared for. This research also proposes future research recommendations.

 
《權力與抗拒：從女同志案主諮商歷程與感受再探同志友善諮商》
Authors: 賴佳琳 賴佳琳 , Chia-Lin Lai 李淑菁
Published: November 2022

即使臺灣於2019年成為亞洲第一個同性婚姻合法化的國家，社會偏見仍無所不在。過往同志多被視為一群體概括討論，而不同性別社會化過程有其特殊性。本研究透過後結構女性主義的觀點，以質性研究深度訪談的方式，從女同志案主主體經驗出發，嘗試了解女同志諮商歷程互動經驗與影響。研究發現，女同志通常透過親友、醫生引薦資源，並先確認機構對同志的態度。此外，心理師的性別或性傾向、對於女同志的態度與理解程度會影響諮商關係；在醫病的權力關係中，儘管心理師可能透過評估同志情慾真實性、將同性戀病理化、對同志議題採迴避態度、刻板印象與異性戀視框作為權力展現的方式與歷程，女同志的抗拒型態包含沈默不語、選擇結束關係，甚至反過來教育對方。另一角度而言，心理師若能表明同志友善、敏覺於社會氛圍及同志重大事件，是影響諮商關係的關鍵因素，而諮商室外的社會行動也帶來安全感，能增加女同志求助的機會。本研究透過主體性的敘說，呈現女同志案主在諮商歷程中經驗與感受之獨特樣貌，並提出與女同志工作之相關建議，供諮商實務工作者參考。

 

Even if Taiwan has legalized same-sex marriage since 2019, landmarking the first country in Asia, mainstream prejudices and discrimination against the LGBT communities can still be found in daily lives. In the past, the LGBT communities were regarded as a homogeneous group, regardless of their distinctiveness of sexual/gender nature as well as socialization processes. In this sense, this research departs from post-structural feminism, adopting qualitative research methods in order to map lesbian clients’ experiences in the process of counselling, thus exploring power and resistance within their experiences. This study firstly found that even though most lesbians assumed counselors tended to be more LGBT-friendly than the general public, they still consulted trustworthy friends, relatives, and psychiatrists for introducing counselling resources to confirm those institutions were to what extent friendly before stepping into the counselling space. Secondly, the biological sex and sexual orientation of the counselors had different meanings for lesbian clients. Thirdly, counselors’ attitudes and knowledge towards lesbians influenced their counselling relationships. In particular, there were unequal power relations between counselors and clients. For instance, counselors may demonstrate their power by estimating the authenticity of sex passion between the same-sex, pathologizing homosexuality, avoiding LGBT issues, or stereotyping clients through heterosexual sexual lenses. However, clients are not passive recipients. Instead, Lesbian clients may utilize strategies such as keeping silent, educating the counselors, or ending the counselling relationship to resist the counselors’ power. Apart from that, counselors’ engagement in gender issues of the society matter in maintaining counselling relationships; for instance, awareness of social atmosphere and major LGBT events, their social action outside counselling room, etc. In other words, counselors’ claims or signals of LGBT-support do encourage lesbians to seek for help when needed and releases their alert to anti-LGBT religious beliefs. In sum, this research contributes to demonstrating the unique picture of lesbian clients in the counseling process, providing suggestions for counseling practitioners on how to work with their lesbian clients more effectively.

 
以多元觀點探討盧嘉興之明鄭無奉祀媽祖論
Authors: 戴文鋒 戴文鋒 , Tai Wen-Feng 楊家祈
Published: November 2022

戰後「祖廟」之爭，逐漸席捲全臺，其中在媽祖信仰各宮廟間可說十分激烈。如臺南市安南區鹿耳門、土城仔二村庄展開了「鹿耳門媽祖」信仰的正統之爭。激烈的辯駁從信眾延燒到研究者之間。在這樣的背景之下，盧嘉興從文獻著手，加上地圖考究，提出了「明鄭時期臺灣無奉祀媽祖」之論點，進而否定了二廟之爭，可說獨排眾議。

本文並無意探究那間媽祖廟為正統或是祖廟，而是分析盧嘉興文章的觀點與方法，同時重新爬梳文獻與相關研究，並從民俗信仰發展、文物等多元觀點，針對盧嘉興之論點，提出其貢獻與「明鄭時期臺灣無奉祀媽祖」的再探討。

 

In the post-war era, the controversy over the true "ancestral temple" gradually swept across Taiwan and it can be said that it was very intense among the various temples dedicated to the Matsu belief. For example, in the villages of Lo̍k-nīnn-mn̂g (鹿耳門) and Thôo-siânn-á (土城仔) in the Annan District of Tainan City, a dispute over the legitimacy of the "Luermen Matsu Temple" pitted the faithful against each other. The heated debate extended from the faithful to historians and researchers. Against this backdrop, Lu Chia-Hsing’s contention that "Matsu was not worshipped in Taiwan during the Koxinga Dynasty." is based on documentary evidence and research of old maps, which subsequently rejected the controversy between the two temples and can be considered a unique position.

This paper does not intend to investigate which Matsu temple is an orthodox or ancestral temple, but rather to analyze the viewpoints and methods of Lu Chia-Hsing’s articles and to consolidate the literature and related research. In addition, from a variety of perspectives, including the development of folklore beliefs and cultural relics, we seek to carry out a re-examination of Lu Chia-Hsing’s contributions as well as positions, such as the "absence of Matsu worship in Taiwan during the Koxinga Dynasty.

 
盧嘉興台灣鹽業研究論文之回顧與補述
Authors: 張復明 張復明
Published: November 2022

盧嘉興發表之鹽業研究論文計21篇，作者於1981年2月將之彙編重印，列為《臺灣研究彙集》第21冊，這是研究台灣鹽業史不可或缺的參考文獻。

該等論文探討主題有古鹽埕位置考證、晒鹽方法、鹽務制度及各縣市曬鹽場史略等四大類。由於論文研究當時，史料極度缺乏，且又處政治戒嚴時期，論文中有些觀點明顯錯誤，有些則遷就政治現實而曲筆，故有重新檢討之必要。

本文擬利用新出土史料來檢視盧氏有關台灣製鹽之源起、古鹽場、曬鹽法及鹽務制度之研究成果，並嘗試予以補正，以重新賦與論文新的生命，期能繼續嘉惠有志於台灣鹽業發展史之研究者。

 

A total of 21 research papers on salt industry published by Lu Jia-xing. The collection was published in February 1981 as Vol. 21 of the Taiwan Research, an indispensable reference for the study of the history of Taiwan salt industry.

The topics discussed in these papers are four kinds: location examination in ancient salt field, method of solar salt manufacture, salt selling system, and history of salt field in each county and city. At the time of research, there was a great shortage of historical data, and during the period of political martial law, some of the papers were clearly wrong, while others were misinterpreted in accordance with political realities. Indeed there needed to be reviewed.

In this paper, we would like to use newly unearthed historical materials to review Lu’s research on the origin of salt, ancient salt field, method of solar salt manufacture, and salt selling system in Taiwan and try to correct them to give new life. I hope that it can continue to benefit researchers who are interested in the historical of Taiwan salt industry.

Published: November 2022

Durante a pandemia da COVID-19 a busca pelo entendimento da doença proporcionou o descobrimento de biomarcadores inflamatórios que pudessem auxiliar no manejo da doença. Além disso, fatores de risco como o Diabetes mellitus (DM) possuem papel fundamental na gravidade e mortalidade da doença. Assim, marcadores como a Proteína C-reativa (PCR), dímero-D, relação neutrófilos-linfócitos (RNL), relação plaquetas-linfócitos (RPL) e relação monócitos-linfócitos (RML) mostram-se como potenciais biomarcadores prognósticos frente à fisiopatologia da COVID-19 associada ao DM. Em nosso estudo, tivemos como objetivo a avaliação de biomarcadores inflamatórios das amostras de 191 pacientes com COVID-19, dentre eles 47 possuíam diagnóstico de DM e 144 não possuíam a comorbidade, buscando uma melhor compreensão da doença. Como resultados, obtivemos que o parâmetro PCR sofreu aumento significativo em pacientes com COVID-19, destacando-se os resultados entre pacientes diabéticos, no qual esse biomarcador mostra-se como razão de risco independente para mortalidade.

Published: November 2022

Objectives: The aim of our study is to compare the usefulness of laparoscopic ventral hernia repair with conventional open ventral hernia repair. Methodology: The comparative type of study was conducted on 60 patients with incisional hernia of which 30 patients were included in the Laparoscopy group while the other 30 were included in the open surgery group. Results: The peak incidence of hernia in our study was in the 31-50 years of age group. The mean operation time of Laparoscopic ventral hernia was 142.1 minutes with an SD of ± 24.69 as compared to open repair which was 100.7 minutes. Postoperative complications were less in the laparoscopic repair group in comparison with the open repair group. In the open group, the majority of patients were discharged on 5-7 days as compared to the laparoscopic group in which the majority of patients were discharged on days 3-5.  Conclusion: Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair is a novel technique, various benefits found in the current study include lesser postoperative pain, lesser postoperative hospital stay, decreased incidence of postoperative complications, and obviously better cosmesis.
What is the interobserver agreement of displaced humeral surgical neck fracture patterns?
Authors: Spek Reinier W. A. , Kim Laura ,   Traumaplatform 3D Consortium
Published: November 2022

Background: The Boileau classification distinguishes three surgical neck fracture patterns: types A, B, and C. However, the reproducibility of this classification on plain radiographs is unclear. Therefore, we questioned what the interobserver agreement and accuracy of displaced surgical neck fracture patterns is categorized according to the modified Boileau classification. Does the reliability to recognize these fracture patterns differ between orthopedic residents and attending surgeons?Methods: This interobserver study consisted of a randomly retrieved series of 30 plain radiographs representing clinical practice in a level 1 and a level 2 trauma center. Radiographs were included from patients (≥18 years) who sustained an isolated displaced surgical neck fracture if they were taken ≤1 week after initial injury. A ground truth was established by consensus among three senior orthopedic surgeons. All images were assessed by 17 orthopedic residents and 17 attending orthopedic trauma surgeons.Results: Agreement for the modified Boileau classification was fair (κ=0.37; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.36–0.38) with an accuracy of 62% (95% CI, 57%–66%). Comparison of interobserver variability between residents and attending surgeons revealed a significant but clinically irrelevant difference in favor of attending surgeons (0.34 vs. 0.39, respectively, Δ κ=0.05, 95% CI, 0.02–0.07).Conclusions: The modified Boileau classification yields a low interobserver agreement with an unsatisfactory accuracy in a panel of orthopedic residents and attending surgeons. This supports the hypothesis that surgical neck fractures are challenging to categorize and that this classification should not be used to determine prognosis if only plain radiographs are available.

Published: November 2022

Combretum platypterum is used in the treatment of malaria, swellings, lumps, conjunctivitis, backache, fever, helminthiasis and diarrhea in ethnomedicine. This study evaluates the anti-arthritis activity of aqueous leaf extract of C.platypterum. C. platypterum leaf sample was pulverized and the powdered sample was extracted using cold maceration, which was freeze dried, and graded doses of 50, 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg of the extract were administered for the anti-arthritis property using an established formaldehyde and Complete Freund’s adjuvant induced arthritis models in rats. The result showed that the extract had a significant reduction in the diameter of formaldehyde induced inflammation at day 10 (0.97, 0.97, 0.67 and 0.8 mm) and Complete Freund’s adjuvant at day 28 (1.98, 1.79, 1.77, 1.43 mm) when compared with arthritis control for days 10 and 28 (2.95 and 4.06 mm) (p < 0.05). Percentage inhibition of the leaf extract in formaldehyde at day 10 (67.12, 67.12, 77.29, and 71.86 %) and Complete Freund’s adjuvant induced arthritis at day 28 (51.23, 55.91, 56.40 and 64.78 %) showed a significant increase in the inhibitory effect of C. platypterum in dose dependent order. The ankle weight, erythrocyte sedimentary rate (ESR) and malondialdehyde level had a significant (p < 0.05) decrease in graded doses on complete freund’s adjuvant induced arthritis rats when compared with arthritis control C. platypterum leaf extract elicited a significant (p < 0.05) increase in endogenous superoxide dismutase on complete freund’s adjuvant induced arthritis when compared with arthritis control. This study led it credence to C. platypterum leaf extract scientifically validated for its anti-arthritis property

Despite the critical role of leadership in conflicts management in public organizations, alongside with the various initiatives undertaken to enhance this role, ineffective conflicts management continues to be a big challenge in public organisations and at the Zanzibar State Trading Corporation (ZSTC) in particular. Consequently, this study looks into the factors constraining leadership role in managing conflicts and recommends strategies for improving leadersâ€™ capacity to conflicts management at ZSTC. Qualitative approach was adopted and data were drawn from a purposive sample of 65 respondents through in-depth interviews, documentary review, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and non-participant observation. Findings confirmed that constraints to leadership in managing conflicts were in four categories; notably lack of effective communication, ineffective leadership and management practices, inequitable distribution of resources, and nonexistence of conflicts management institutions. To ensure effective leadersâ€™ role in managing conflicts, leaders need to have sound plans, adequate budget, engage in financial resources mobilisation and ensure recruitment of staff with relevant skills, as well as build capacities of the existing staff on communication and conflicts management skills. The organization should devise effective policies to smoothen conflict management

Published: November 2022

Monitoring the inflation of tyre pressure plays a significant role in ensuring safety of motor vehicle users both private and public. Accurate measurement of tyre inflation pressure requires a tyre pressure gauge, which is consistent and that complies with other metrological characteristics. Proper metrological control of the manufactured and imported gauges is paramount to measure the accuracy of the tyre pressure. The control of conformity to metrological characteristics for new and those in use is still uncertain, their accuracy is also not known to both users and their customers who inflate pressure in their motor vehicle tyres. This study assessed the legal metrological control of the tyre inflation pressure gauges in Dar es Salaam. The assessment was done by taking a sample of 255 bus drivers, 159 inflation pressure gauge users and also 159 inflation pressure gauges located in Kinondoni. The results reveal that users are aware of calibration and verification of their gauges. It was indicated that 89.9% of 159 respondents had no idea of calibrating their instruments while 10.1% were aware, 96.9% never attended any training regarding calibration. About 98.1% had never been visited by any regulatory authority for calibration and verification.Â It was observed that only 18.2% of 159 tested instruments were accurate while the remaining were deviating from 40 % and 30% for positive and negative deviation respectively. The government should consider adding the instruments in the list of those subjected to legal metrological control to have accurate tyre pressure inflation gauge. The additional of the instruments will enable the regulatory authorities to carry out calibration and verification to the manufactured and imported tyre pressure inflation gauges in the country and getting rid of counterfeit and inaccurate instruments

Therefore, the study applied the Sustainable Livelihood Approach (SLA) to study the role of VICOBA microcredits on promoting the micro and small scale industrialization in Tanzania. The data were collected from 24 VICOBA leaders and clients through focus group discussion technique in Kilimanjaro region. The data were analyzed using content analysis where the role of VICOBA microcredits in promoting sustainable industrialization and challenges limiting the same were categorized as themes for the study. The findings from the study revealed that VICOBA microcredits have played the following roles on the promotion of sustainable micro and small scale industrialization in Kilimanjaro Tanzania: Supporting the production of raw materials, act as a source of entrepreneurial industrial ventures and facilitate training in industrialization matters. Also, the study revealed that the challenges faced by micro and small scale industries owned by VICOBA members were low productivity, unreliable markets for the products, low trust by the community and inadequate capital. The paper recommends that the government of Tanzania should support VICOBA clients to promote their contributions to the industrialized economy in Tanzania. This also will activate the sustainable livelihood of VICOBA clients.

Regular surveys for pathogens of Craspedonta leayana in and around Jorhat District of Assam were undertaken. Four important entomogenous fungi, viz. Aspergillus sp., Fusarium sp., Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana were isolated from the dead, fungus infected larvae, pupae and adults of C. leayana. The laboratory studies were carried out to see the pathogenicity of two entomopathogenic fungi, viz. Aspergillus sp. and Fusarium sp. on C. leayana. The pathogenicity studies showed differential percentage mortality with respect to different concentrations of spore suspensions. Another experiment was conducted to see the field efficacy of Aspergillus sp., Fusarium sp. and B. bassiana on C. leayana. All the fungal species were found significantly pathogenic to the V instar larvae. However, in both the laboratory as well as field conditions, Fusarium sp. at the concentration of 2x107spores/ml was found to cause the highest mortality. Apart from fungal infected larvae many diseased pupae were also collected which did not produced any fungal filaments under humid conditions. Spraying crude maceration of these diseased pupae did not produce disease to healthy IV and V instar larvae, the prepupae or pupae.
Effect of salinity on Acacia nilotica (L.) Willd. during germination and early growth
Authors: Kumari Bimlendra , Babbar S. , Datta K.
Published: November 2022

The effect of salinity types (chloride and sulphate dominated) and levels (4-16 dS m-1) on germination and early growth characters was studied in Acacia nilotica (L.) Willd., an important timber tree of semi-arid zone. Salinity of both the types significantly inhibited germination and growth in Acacia nilotica. However, chloride dominated salinity was found to be more deleterious. The germination percent decreased to half at lowest (4 dS m-1) level of chloride dominated salinity. At 16 dS m-1, the decrease was 90 percent. Similarly, the growth characters such as root, shoot lengths, dry weights at all the stages (i.e. 28 days and 4-12 months) were also affected more in chloride dominated salinity. The decrease in plumule, radicle lengths of seedlings at 4 dS m-1 was 50-60 percent in chloride dominated salinity, whereas in sulphate dominated salinity there was slight increase in these characters at lower level and the decrease was 50 percent at highest level. At later seedling stages (4, 8 and 12 months), the effect of both the types of salinities was less on all of the growth characters. However the chloride dominated salinity caused more reduction even at the lowest level. Hence, in Acacia nilotica salinity of both the types is more deleterious at germination and early seedling stage as compared to later grown stages. The tree species can be successfully used for afforestation programmes on saline wastelands by raising the seedlings in nursery with normal conditions with good soil and water.

O artigo apresenta um delineamento representativo de uma parcela dos professores/as de Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, que entre as décadas de 1930 e 1940 solicitaram carteira profissional junto à Delegacia Regional do Trabalho, em contexto de expansão do ensino, de mudanças na profissionalização professoral e nas políticas vinculadas ao trabalho no Brasil. Com fontes inéditas, fichas de qualificação profissional e fotografias 3x4, investigamos quem eram esses trabalhadores docentes que atuavam em instituições escolares da capital sul-rio-grandense, com atenção às especificidades pessoais (nome próprio, instrução, estado civil, cor, sexo, nascimento) e fisionômicas. A análise buscou compreender como as experiências dos registros fotográficos permitem apreender singularidades individuais conformadoras de imagens do “ser professor”.
As tropas do governo provisório na guerra civil de 1932
Authors: Lopes Raimundo Helio
Published: November 2022

O presente artigo busca analisar as tropas do Governo Provisório que lutaram na guerra civil de 1932, mais conhecida como “Revolução Constitucionalista de 1932”. Para tanto, inicialmente concentrar-se-á na formação e estrutura das tropas, investigando como elas foram construídas a partir da opção do governo federal e da ação dos interventores estaduais. As tropas varguistas foram compostas por militares das forças armadas, polícias estaduais e voluntários, de modo similar às tropas arregimentas pelo estado de São Paulo. Em um segundo momento, o artigo analisa como as tropas do Governo Provisório foram retratadas na historiografia, acadêmica ou não, sobre o evento. Nesse aspecto, é notório que o discurso construído pelos adversários paulistas sobre essas forças, marcado pela desqualificação e depreciação, foi forte e amplo e ainda hoje é recorrente na maioria das análises sobre esse evento.
A Lei Agamenon e as eleições de 1945
Authors: Angeli Douglas Souza , Costa Rafael Navarro
Published: November 2022

Com o fim do Estado Novo (1937-1945), muitas mudanças ocorreram no sistema político e partidário no Brasil. Getúlio Vargas e seu grupo político articularam e negociaram essas alterações, processo que se acentuou a partir de 1944. Tais esforços estavam concentrados em estabelecer um código eleitoral que levasse o país a um modelo democrático e, ao mesmo tempo, não significasse o enfraquecimento de seu grupo político. Esse movimento acabou resultando na publicação do código eleitoral de 1945, o Decreto-Lei 7.586 de 1945, conhecido como Lei Agamenon. Nosso objetivo nesse artigo é analisar, a partir de fontes relativas ao código eleitoral e dos dados eleitorais, as mudanças ocorridas no processo eleitoral, na qualificação e alistamento dos eleitores e na constituição dos partidos políticos brasileiros, e seus impactos nos resultados das eleições de 2 de dezembro de 1945.

A pandemia provocada pelo novo coronavírus, iniciada em 2019, proporcionou maior visibilidade e reconhecimento aos serviços de saúde, que passaram a trabalhar com o quantitativo aumentado de atendimentos e, por muitas vezes, insuficiente de colaboradores. O hospital é uma unidade complexa, uma vez que é local que se destina ao atendimento do maior bem jurídico constitucionalmente tutelado, que é a vida. Muitos hospitais sofreram forte impacto com a redução de profissionais, seja por afastamento médico, por instabilidade psicológica e, infelizmente, por perdas de vidas. Nesse contexto se reflete a importância do gerenciamento de pessoas, considerando que o capital humano é o recurso primordial para que o trabalho em saúde seja exercido com a máxima excelência. Para isso, é necessário que os colaboradores estejam envolvidos com a missão do serviço, trabalhando em prol da prestação do cuidado. O domínio na gestão de pessoas facilita o alcance de objetivos institucionais e pessoais; profissionais bem assistidos, valorizados e satisfeitos favorecem o funcionamento equilibrado do serviço, levando a resultados quantitativos e qualitativos satisfatórios.
