Authors:   Technical Sciences Academy of Romania, STEMATIU DAN , DROBOT RADU ,   Technical University of Civil Engineering Bucharest, Romania
Published: June 2023

Among the dam portofoliu administrated by an owner some dams show behaviour anomalies, progressive adverse phenomena or deficiencies of the equipment. The owner develops studies establishing the causes of the found phenomena and designs of the rehabilitation works for deficiencies remedy. Financing of the rehabilitation projects, sometimes requiring high costs, is usually provided from the owner’s own funds. Naturally, the funds that can be allotted are limited and very often cannot cover the costs required by all the technically approved works. Under these conditions, the funds distribution strategy should select primarily the works that contribute significantly to the dam’s safety improvement while in the meantime are bringing maximum benefit to the owner. A decision making strategy is developed in the present paper. Planning the rehabilitation works required by safety improvement is based on the combination of risk reduction and the efficiency of the intervention.

Published: June 2023

This paper brings an evaluation of different mobility scenarios in the context of COVID-19 pandemic. The mobility is a fundamental human need, a manifestation of an integrated society and an individual and rational act. Building scenarios offer a means of dealing with critical issues of innovation, reflexivity and framing in analysing change in socio-economic systems. Forecasting, exploratory or backcasting scenarios, they are all analysed from the point of view of collective behavioral choice, public policy or technology. The pandemic brought first a serious decrease in traffic and mobility imposing a lockdown, but after it generated an amplified transition to private motorised transport, as public transport is a potent force in disease spread. And this is translated by congestion and pollution. Luckily, based on the same priciples, walking and cycling gained particular importance. A key element in the concept of sustainable development is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

Authors: Kharisma Virgian
Published: June 2023

Breastfeeding is a very precious time for a mother who has just given birth to her baby. Where at this time, the mother gives breast milk which is called a golden liquid to the baby. Breast milk is the optimal nutrition for babies at the beginning of their life. However, in the process of breastfeeding, mothers often feel anxious and not confident that they can breastfeed their babies well and can provide enough breast milk for their babies' nourishment and growth. Peace of mind and feelings can affect the process of milk production. Hypnobreastfeeding is one of the techniques to help mothers to feel calm, comfortable, relaxed, and happy while breastfeeding. Giving positive affirmative sentences about Hypnobreastfeeding can help reduce anxiety and increasing the mother's sense of self-worth will help the nursing process go more easily. This study aims to explain how hypnobreastfeeding is used in nursing mothers. The method used is a literature review by utilizing Google Scholar and PubMed data. The results of a literature search found that Hypnobreastfeeding is beneficial for breastfeeding mothers. Hypnobreastffeding can overcome anxiety, increase motivation and confidence in mothers, and can increase breast milk production.

Using Service-learning to Promote Transdisciplinary Collaborations among Undergraduate and Graduate Students
Authors: SCHUETZE PAMELA , DOODY KATHY , FULCHER-ROOD KATRINA
Published: June 2023

Services to children are often provided through a transdisciplinary model, particularly when students are receiving special education services and supports. Given the individual and diverse needs of these children, professionals often work collaboratively in evaluating students, interpreting results, and making recommendations for appropriate services. Professionals are expected to have prior knowledge regarding the expertise of their trans-disciplinary peers. However, they may have never been presented with this opportunity during their preparation in higher education. Therefore, a project was designed to address this deficiency at two very different locations: a university campus-based child care center, and a residential facility supporting homeless women and young children experiencing poverty. Participants were 109 undergraduate psychology students in an advanced developmental psychology class, 93 exceptional education graduate students, and 24 undergraduate speech/language pathology students. In groups consisting of students from each discipline, students completed developmental screenings on 2-3 children ranging from 1 month to 5 years of age. Results of a pre-posttest evaluation indicated that students were significantly more comfortable working in transdisciplinary collaborative groups and more interested in working in transdisciplinary groups in a future professional capacity after completing this service-learning project.

Published: June 2023

Amaç: Yaş grubu 0-5 olan çocuk annelerinde probiyotik bilgi düzeyi ve kullanım durumunun incelenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Şubat 2017-Temmuz 2017 tarihleri arasında Gaziosmanpaşa Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi’ne çocuklarında ishal şikayeti ile ayaktan başvuran 400 gönüllü anneye sosyodemografik verileri, probiyotik gıda farkındalığı ve kullanımı ile daha önce ishal olma durumu, ishale yönelik tedavi gibi bilgileri içeren hasta görüşme formu yüz yüze uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan annelerin probiyotik gıda bilgi farkındalık düzeyi %36 düzeyindedir. Probiyotik farkındalığı olan annelerin daha yüksek düzey gelirli ve eğitimli olduğu izlenmiştir (p<0.001). Önceki yıl hiç ishal şikayeti olmayan çocukların yılda 1- 2 kere veya 3 kereden fazla ishal geçiren çocuklara göre annelerin anlamlı düzeyde daha fazla oranda probiyotik farkındalığı olduğu belirlenmiştir (p=0.015). Annelerin %43’ü ishal sırasında ticari probiyotik tedavi kullanımını gerekli görmezken, en sık (%26,8) kullanmama nedeninin “ishal için reçetelenen probiyotik tedavinin etkili olmadığı inancı” olduğu görülmüştür. Sonuç: Çalışma, ev yapımı probiyotik içeren bir diyetin ishalin sıklığını veya süresini azaltabileceğini göstermiştir. Bu nedenle, bir çocuğun sağlıklı bağırsak florasını geliştirmede evde tüketilen doğal probiyotiklerin besin değerini ve probiyotik diyet içeriğinin ishal vakaları üzerindeki etkisini dikkate almak faydalı olacaktır.

Authors: Blanco Melody , Lowe Tawny , Mohamed Shehnaaz , Ansar Sumayya , Johnson Jessie
Published: June 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic brought the world to a standstill, forcing businesses to close or adjust operations to online platforms. Nursing Educational Institutions (NEIs) were similarly affected by the implementation of public health measures to reduce the transmission of COVID-19, leading to abrupt lockdowns and campus closures, reduced or no face-to-face time in labs, and a sudden loss of clinical placement sites for students. To combat this problem, NEIs had to adjust their conventional practices and find alternative, novel approaches to fulfill the required hands-on lab teaching and clinical practice hours for their students. Many NEIs turned to simulation to close this gap for nursing students. Therefore, this integrative review seeks to explore what innovative simulation strategies were used during the pandemic era and the lessons that can be learned from these innovations. Key Terms: COVID-19, simulation, innovative strategies, undergraduate nursing

Authors: Helvaci Mehmet Rami , Candan Esra , Ceylan Ayse , Sencan Huseyin , Abyad Abdulrazak , Pocock Lesley
Published: June 2023

Background: Sickle cell diseases (SCD) are severe inflammatory processes on vascular endothelium, particularly at the capillary level since the capillary system is the main distributor of hardened red blood cells (RBC) into the tissues. Methods: All patients with the SCD were included. Results: The study included 222 males and 212 females with similar ages (30.8 vs 30.3 years, p>0.05, respectively). Disseminated teeth losses (5.4% vs 1.4%, p<0.001), ileus (7.2% vs 1.4%, p<0.001), cirrhosis (8.1% vs 1.8%, p<0.001), leg ulcers (19.8% vs 7.0%, p<0.001), digital clubbing (14.8% vs 6.6%, p<0.001), coronary heart disease (18.0% vs 13.2%, p<0.05), chronic renal disease (9.9% vs 6.1%, p<0.05), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (25.2% vs 7.0%, p<0.001), and stroke (12.1% vs 7.5%, p<0.05) were all higher but not acute chest syndrome (2.7% vs 3.7%), pulmonary hypertension (12.6% vs 11.7), deep venous thrombosis and/or varices and/or telangiectasias (9.0% vs 6.6%), and mean age of mortality (30.2 vs 33.3 years) in males (p>0.05 for all). Conclusion: Although the hardened RBC-induced capillary endothelial damage is present in whole body even at birth, severe exacerbations during additional stresses are called as acute painful crises. An increased basal metabolic rate, exaggerated sickling, diffuse capillary endothelial damage, exaggerated capillary endothelial inflammation and edema, generalized tissue hypoxia, and multiorgan insufficiencies may be the main causes of mortality during the crises. Although rapid RBC supports are the main treatment option, corticosteroids should also be added to decrease severity of endothelial inflammation and edema, and to prevent tissue hypoxia and multiorgan insufficiencies during such crises. Key words: Sickle cell diseases, acute painful crises, capillary inflammation, capillary edema, corticosteroids, metabolic syndrome, atherosclerosis

Authors: Akşamoğlu Melih , Menzilcioğlu Mehmet Sait
Published: June 2023

Objective: We aimed to investigate the image quality of paranasal sinus computed tomography (CT) scans obtained with the “Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine” (AICE) software and ultra-low dose parameters in patients with prediagnosed rhinitis, sinusitis or nasal septum deviation.
Methods: The first 50 patients (31 men and 19 women, aged 18-70 years) who agreed to participate in our prospectively planned study were included in the study. Imaging of the patients was performed with a 160-slice multidetector CT device Canon Aquilion Prime SP (Canon Medical Systems, Otawara, Japan). Tube voltage of 80 kV and tube current of 40 mA were chosen. The effective radiation dose (ED) was calculated based on the “dose-length product” (DLP) information of each patient. Evaluation of images was made on reformat images made with “AiCE Bone” filter in the axial and coronal planes. All images were double-blindly evaluated by 2 radiologists out of 5 points (5 = very good; 1 = not diagnostic). The visibility of 17 bilateral important anatomical landmarks examined on paranasal sinus CT was scored (0 = not visible; 2 = completely visible). In the evaluation of images, the agreement between radiologists was evaluated with Kappa statistics.
Results: The median ED value of the CT protocol was 0.015±0.001 mSv [range 0.012-0.017 mSv]. The overall image quality of the images in our study was interpreted as 4 (good) or 3 (moderate) for all patients. Inter-research agreement was 92%. Most of the anatomical landmarks evaluated were completely visible. Six (bilateral of three) anatomical landmarks could be partially visible in some patients.
Conclusion: Combining the ultra-low dose CT protocol and the AiCE reconstruction algorithm makes it possible to achieve very low ED values ​​in paranasal sinus CT scans and still obtain sufficient image quality in indications such as septum deviation and sinusitis.

Bên cạnh đó, tác phẩm còn thể hiện một nền văn hóa Hồi giáo đậm nét, hiển nhiên bởi Atiq Rahimi viết về Afghanistan- đất nước mà Hồi giáo ngự trị.

Published: June 2023

Kelompok LGBT di Indonesia masih rentan mendapat perlakuan diskriminatif yang didorong oleh stigma dengan pembenaran agama dan moralitas. Tindakan diskriminatif diperparah dengan dorongan pernyataan aparat negara dan pemuka agama, sehingga memunculkan homofobia di kalangan masyarakat. Indonesia sendiri belum memiliki undang-undang khusus yang mengatur tentang LGBT secara menyeluruh, namun telah terdapat beberapa peraturan daerah yang mendiskriminasikan hak-hak LGBT. Kelompok LGBT seharusnya memiliki hak asasi manusia (HAM) yang sama dengan masyarakat lainnya. Yogyakarta Principle merupakan hasil bentuk perjuangan kesetaraan hak LGBT di Indonesia yang telah ada sejak tahun 2016, namun pihak pemerintah tidak dapat merespon tuntutan prinsip tersebut dengan baik karena terkendala dengan ajaran agama dan adat istiadat yang ada di Indonesia. Ketiadaan hukum yang jelas dan berbagai bentuk opresi dari beberapa kelompok menyebabkan kedudukan kelompok LGBT yang hanya sebagai warga negara kedua di Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hak-hak LGBT apa saja yang dimiliki dan atau dibatasi oleh undang-undang Indonesia, baik secara langsung maupun tidak langsung. Metode yang digunakan merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan sosio-legal melalui studi kepustakaan yang dianalisis secara deskriptif dan normatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kaum LGBT dianggap mengancam ketentraman masyarakat, melanggar nilai-nilai yang diajari agama, serta dianggap tidak sehat secara mental, sosial, dan spiritual. Hal tersebut membuat kaum LGBT mengalami keterbatasan dalam tiga hak, yaitu hak mengekspresikan diri, hak menikah, dan hak untuk masuk dalam pemerintah. Oleh karena itu, dapat disimpulkan bahwa undang-undang yang berlaku di Indonesia kurang dapat melindungi hak LGBT karena undang-undang yang ada di Indonesia masih sangat terikat dengan nilai-nilai sosial dan agama.
