Authors: Nagaraj Prasanna , Meganathan Harilakshmi
Published: September 2019

Background: Acute pulmonary oedema is an uncommon,but life threatening event in pregnancy. It causes significant morbidity and mortality due to pathophysiology of pre‐eclampsia and physiological changes of pregnancy which may aggravate certain pre-existing heart disease.Methods: This study was conducted to describe the clinical and epidemiological profile of antenatal women with acute pulmonary edema in obstetric ICU from January 2017 to December 2018 (2 years) in Mahathma Gandhi Memorial Government Hospital, Trichy, Tamil Nadu, India.Results: Acute pulmonary edema (n=31) accounts for 2.7% of ICU/HDU admissions in the study period. Most common etiology observed was severe preeclampsia (12 cases) followed by cardiogenic pulmonary edema (11 cases). Fluid overload, sepsis accounted for 7 cases and one mother with preexisting RHD had severe pre-eclampsia with acute pulmonary edema.Conclusions: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and heart disease contributes to major proportion of acute pulmonary edema in this study and it is imperative to recognize signs of critical illness. Skilled multidisciplinary teamwork plays an important role in optimizing maternal and fetal health.

Published: September 2019

Background: Ovarian neoplasms are a distinct entity in women health care and are increasingly contributing to morbidity and mortality among women. The burden is not only related to the increasing incidence but also to the varied pathological features depending on the tissue of origin and pathogenesis. The study was carried out to find the prevalence and determine the clinical presentation and histo-pathological distribution of ovarian neoplasms. Management options were also noted.Methods: It is a retrospective study carried out at Goa Medical College between January 2013 to December 2015. All patients diagnosed and treated for ovarian neoplasm were included in the study. Data was tabulated using Microsoft Excel and descriptive statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS version 23.Results: A total of 3111 patients were admitted in gynecology at Goa Medical College during the specified time period. Of these 358 cases were diagnosed with ovarian neoplasm. On histopathology 196 were benign tumors and 162 were reported to be malignant. Commonest presenting symptom was abdominal distention seen in 51.1% of the patients, pain in 44.4%, followed by dyspepsia in 26.85%. Epithelial tumors were most common (Benign - 39.3%, Malignant - 41%) followed by sex cord stromal tumors and germ cell tumors in 7.26% of cases.Conclusions: Surface epithelial tumors were most common neoplasm. An alarming high no. of malignant tumors (45.25%) was found in present study. 44.4% tumors presented in 41-50 years age group. Presenting complaints were vague and nonspecific leading to delay in diagnosis. Histological type correlates with prognosis; therefore, preponderance of histological type will guide treatment options and patient education with respect to epidemiology.

Authors: Agrawal Komal K. , Jain Mahima
Published: September 2019

Background: Pregnancy related acute kidney injury (PRAKI) is acute kidney injury occurring during pregnancy, labour, delivery, and/or postpartum period. Proper management of PRAKI is challenging because (i) both maternal and fetal health must be considered and (ii) the cardiovascular and renal adaptations of pregnancy add to the complexity of diagnosis and management. A multi discipilinary team is often needed to optimize all aspects of the pregnant women’s care.Methods: To study association and contributing factors in pregnancy related Acute Kidney injury, a retrospective study of 39 cases of acute kidney injury complicating pregnancies was carried out in department of obstetrics and gynaecology, B. J. Medical college over a period of 6 months, and results were studied and analysed. Etiological-factors, associated liver pathology, coagulation abnormality, thrombocytopenia, sepsis, recovery status and fetomaternal outcome were studied and results were tabulated. AKI was analysed in terms of maximal stage of renal injury attained as per risk, injury, failure, loss of function, and end-stage renal disease (RIFLE) criteria.Results: The incidence of ARF in pregnancy was found to be 0.3%. Hypertension and its related complications were the most common causative factor. 59.5% of cases required hemodialysis and except for 6 cases (14.3%) all had complete or at least partial recovery from failure.Conclusions: AKI complicating pregnancies are not uncommon in tertiary care centres. If recognized and treated promptly, recovery is assured in majority of 85.7% of cases. Early identification and prompt management of pre-eclampsia and sepsis can prevent majority of ARF cases.

Authors: Garg Priyanka , Bansal Romi , . Roushali
Published: September 2019

Hyperthyroidism in pregnancy is much less common occurring in 0.1-0.2% of women with Grave’s disease being the most common cause accounting for 90% of the cases. It is important to diagnose hyperthyroidism in pregnancy because fetal loss in untreated patients is high and may even be life threatening for the mother. We are presenting a case of 29 years old G3P2L1 who presented to our emergency with amenorrhea of 7 months and history of loose stools for the last 20 days. It was associated with generalized weakness. She also had history of palpitations, weight loss and sleep disturbances. She was a known case of hyperthyroidism for the past 1-2 years and was already taking anti-thyroid drugs. B/L exophthalmos was apparently present. Patient was severly anaemic with haemoglobin of 5.5gms/dl. Ultrasound showed fetal demise at 28weeks. Patient was given 3 units of blood transfusion and was induced with prostaglandins. She delivered a dead male baby weighing 1.2kgs. Her postpartum period was uneventful. Timely diagnosis of graves hyperthyroidism and its optimal treatment throughout pregnancy is vital in reducing maternal, fetal and neonatal complications.

Published: September 2019

Tibia fractures are the commonest long bone fracture, most commonly resulting from high velocity injury. We investigated whether primary nailing in open tibia fractures were producing satisfactory outcomes and we compared the outcomes in terms of fracture union and rates of infection. We identified 202 citations related to our searches from our key words, out of which 89 were original articles, which were eligible and others were case reports and review articles. We found 4 from these references which had the parallel inclusion criteria and were reviewed. All 4 studies had almost similar time period for the fracture union. Infection rates in this study were directly related to the severity of the grade of injury, which were commonly experienced in grade III injuries. In conclusion, our analysis had no significant difference in postoperative healing duration, implant failure rates, postoperative infection and secondary operation rates in primary nailing for open tibia fractures.

Authors: Da Silva Leandro Carvalho , Nere Daniel Rodrigues , Camila de Lima Ferreira Antônia Débora , Bleicher Ervino
Published: September 2019

The Brazilian cowpea crop has been increasing in recent years due to the launch of new cultivars. However these are, in some cases, susceptible to cowpea aphid. In view of this, studies of the biology of, one of the main insect pests on advanced cowpea lines, is essential, since they form the next new cultivars to be the released. Accordingly, the objective of the evaluate the main advanced cowpea lines that confer resistance over the biological aspects of Aphis craccivora Koch. Eight advanced cowpea lines were studied, plus cultivar VITA 7 to provide a standard for aphid susceptibility. Number of living individuals, the longevity of insects and number of descendants produced were recorded daily. Highest nymph mortality rates, longest inter-generation intervals and the lowest reproductive duration, occurred when the aphids had lines MNCO4-762F-03 and MNCO4-762F-09 as host plants. Daily fecundity values (3.0 to 8.0 nymphs per day) varied according to lineage. Lowest total fecundity values were recorded when aphids fed on MNCO4-762F-03, MNCO4-762F-09 and MNCO4-792F-123

lines. MNCO4-762F-03 and MNCO4-762F-09 lines negatively impacted A. craccivora biology, and were the least suitable as hosts.

Published: September 2019

Usage and management alter the dynamics of soil organic carbon (SOC). The aim of this study was to compare the CO2 emissions in a Typic Humudept under different uses, and to relate the effects of CO2 emissions to the organic carbon content of the soil. Soil samples were collected from the 0-0.05, 0.05-0.10, 0.10-0.15 and 0.15-0.20 m layers under the following agricultural systems: no-tillage (NT), conventional (CT) and fruit orchard (FO). Samples were also collected from an area of native forest (NF) adopted as reference. The variables under evaluation were CO2 emissions and SOC content. Interaction between the usage or management systems and the soil layers influenced CO2 emissions in the soil. However, there was a difference in CO2 emissions between the soil layers under NF and CT only. In the 0-0.20 m layer, there was no difference in CO2 emissions under FO or CT, however these were greater than under NF or NT. In turn, the emissions under NT were lower than under NF at this layer. Furthermore, the systems with greater CO2 emissions showed less SOC. As such, in a Typic Humudept, the no-tillage management system results in reduced CO2 emissions. Greater SOC mineralisation has a direct impact on higher CO2 emissions.

Authors: Kafi Mojtaba , Ashrafi Mahboobeh , Azari Mehdi , Jandarroodi Borhan , Abouhamzeh Beheshteh , Rakhshi Asl Arash
Published: September 2019

Background: Nicotinic acid (niacin) is a broad-spectrum lipid-modifying agent that has potent antioxidant properties and reduces the production of lipid peroxidation.
Objective: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the maturation, embryo development and cryo-tolerance merit, and levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), total oxidant status, and total antioxidant capacity following the supplementation of bovine oocytes maturation medium with different concentrations of niacin.
Materials and Methods: Immature cumulus-oocyte complexes were cultured in tissue culture medium-199 maturation media supplemented with 0, 100, 200, and 400 µM niacin under a standard in vitro culture condition. After 24 hr of culture, the nuclear maturation rate was assessed. Then, two groups of immature cumulus-oocyte complexes were cultured in TCM-199 either with or without 400 µM niacin and evaluated for embryo development. Also, matured cumulus-oocyte complexes in both groups were frozen using a standard vitrification procedure. After vitrification, oocytes were warmed in two steps and evaluated for embryo development. In addition, the level of total antioxidant capacity, total oxidant status, and MDA were measured.
Results: The results indicated that although the treatment with 400 µM niacin increased in vitro nuclear maturation (87.6 ± 5.3), it did not improved the embryo development to the blastocyst stage. Higher cleavage and blastocyst rates were observed in vitrified oocytes that were cultured with supplemented 400 µM niacin compared to the control group (without niacin) (53.6 ± 2.7 and 10.6 ± 1.6 vs. 46.2 ± 4.1 and 6.3 ± 2.4, respectively). Also, the addition of 400 µM niacin to the maturation media could decrease MDA levels after maturation.
Conclusion: Niacin could improve the quality of in vitro embryo production (IVP) embryos and tolerance of bovine oocytes to vitrification.

Authors: MBBS Bushra Ashraf
Published: September 2019

Background: Preterm labor (PTL) is a serious emergency wherein robust management is imperative for achieving improved outcome.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of nifedipine alone vs nifedipine with vaginal progesterone in managing threatened PTL.
Materials and Methods: This comparative study was carried out at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, Islamabad over a 2-year’ period, from September, 2013 to August, 2015. The study included 276 patients with threatened PTL. Half of them were allocated to nifedipine alone group whereas the remainder half to the additional progesterone group. In nifedipine alone group (group A), all the patients were given 20mg of rapid release nifedipine orally. If uterine contraction continued, a 10mg dose was repeated every 20 min with a maximum of 40mg within the first hour. After completing the first hour, 20mg was given every 4–6 hr for 72 hr. In the additional vaginal progesterone group (group B), following successful tocolysis with nifedipine, additional - maintenance tocolysis was ensured with vaginal progesterone 200mg daily.
Results: Successful acute tocolysis was achieved with nifedipine among 86.23% patients. Mean pregnancy prolongation was 11.13 ± 5.08 days in group A while 29.73 ± 3.10 days in group B. (p ≤ 0.001).
Conclusion: Acute tocolytic therapy with nifedipine was successful in the majority of our patients. The additional daily use of vaginal progesterone suppositories resulted in significant prolongation of pregnancy as well as reduction in the rate of low birth weight and neonatal ICU admissions.

Authors: Koohestani Najmeh Vafere , Zavareh Saeed , Lashkarbolouki Taghi , Azimipour Fariba
Published: September 2019

Background: Radiations emitting from mobile phones have been proposed to affect people’s health, mediated by various mechanisms like induction of oxidative stress.
Objective: This study aims to investigate the effect of cell phone exposure on the oxidative status of mice preantral follicles (PFs) during in vitro culture.
Materials and Methods: PFs (n = 2580) were isolated mechanically from 16 to 18 day-old NMRI mice (n = 50) and divided into control and cell phone-exposed groups. PFs were cultured for 12 days and ovulation was induced using human chorion gonadotropin. The developmental parameters including size, survival, antral cavity formation, ovulation and oocyte maturation were assessed. In parallel, enzymatic antioxidants activities, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were evaluated.
Results: The diameters and the rates of survival, antrum formation, ovulation, and metaphase II oocytes of exposed PFs to cell phone were significantly lower than those of the control group (p ≤ 0.001). The PFs exposed to cell phone had significantly lower superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and catalase (CAT) activity compared with the control group. In the cell phone exposed PFs, the TAC level was significantly lower (p ≤ 0.001) and MDA levels were significantly higher (p ≤ 0.001), compared to the those of control group.
Conclusion: Exposure to cell phone compromised the developmental competence of mice PFs by increasing oxidative stress.

INTERNATIONAL LAW ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SEA SHIP EXECUTION RELATED TO BAD CREDIT
Authors: S. H., M. Kn. Fera Indriyati, , S. H., LL. M. An An Chandrawulan
Published: September 2019

Purpose: As ocean transportation instrument, the ocean vessel has an important role in improving the growth of economic rate, particularly naval economic business. The high cost of ocean vessel make businessmen difficult to acquire business capital, so they propose the application of credit and ocean vessel is made into mortgage. Although Indonesia is party in International Convention on Maritime Liens and Mortgages 1993, there is not any specific regulation arranging the execution of ocean vessel registered in Indonesia up to now. International Civil Law considers efforts to settle the issues must be started up by contract and agreement in advance. Based on the description, it is necessary to analyse to which extent International Civil Law might settle issues on the execution of ocean vessel and to which extent a court must pay attention and recognize foreign legal verdicts or rights emerged based on Foreign Court Verdicts or laws.

Methodology: This study uses a normative juridical approach, the study of which refers to legal norms contained in the legislation, court decisions and legal norms that exist in society. The research specifications used are descriptive analytics. The sources of legal materials used are primary and secondary data and data collection techniques carried out by means of library research, interviews and observations. Meanwhile, the data analysis technique in this paper uses qualitative analysis.

Main Findings:  An international agreement or agreement must contain a legal choice that will be used later because it will be a very complex problem if it is not determined from the beginning of the law which will be used if a dispute occurs. Ships that can be secured by mortgages are registered ships and ships weighing more than 20m3. In carrying out ship executions even though Indonesia has ratified the 1993 International Convention on Liens and Mortgage, the provisions for the execution of ships in Indonesia still refer to the provisions contained in Article 224 HIR or RIB and Article 258 Rbg.

Implications/Applications: This study will be helpful for practitioners and law-making authorities in formulating different policies and amendments in existing international law on the implementation of the sea ship execution related to bad credit.

Authors: Rasit Rosmawati Mohamad , Hamjah Salasiah Hanin , Misrom Azimah , Yahya Nur Hikmah
Published: September 2019

Purpose: The socio-culture of Muslim society in Malaysia ought to be the main aspect of constructing an advertisement message. However, in developing local media, advertisement contents still do not observe locality of culture and religion such that advertising fails to fulfill the social semiotics of Muslim society. This research analyzes the social semiotics element in advertisement text which constructs the socio-cultural discourse of Muslim society. Methodology: This is qualitative research using content analysis. The research sample was selected using purposive sampling. Discourses as material for analysis are TV adverts for health products. The three advert texts selected as initial research sample in analyzing the discourse and social semiotics are Almas Jus Nusantara, Qu Puteh Million Cell and D’Herbs Losyen Putih Susu. Research data was collected using coding form and analysed using Fairclough Discourse Analysis. Main Findings: Research results find that all three ads are still not clear on the social semiotics of the socio-culture discourse of Muslim society. Analysis proves that the discourse of advertisement text neglects the Islamic Advertising Principle so as to cause erosion of religious and socio-cultural values, while the social semiotics conveyed through the metaphor of women’s and men’s images are irrelevant in terms of the cultural identity of Muslim society.      Implications/Applications: Although social semiotics give a good interpretation of a product,  the locality aspect of socio-culture is also important to uphold the Islamic values for a Muslim product. Therefore, the preservation of cultural identity in marketing a product needs to be viewed from a wider perspective. In efforts to ensure the audience are aware of competitive products in the market, marketing must be balanced by taking into consideration the Islamic Advertising Principle.

Problems of vitality of the Turkic languages in the age of globalisation
Authors: Doszhan Gulzhan , Gauriyeva Gulzhan
Published: September 2019

In recent years, there is an apparent increase in interest of linguists to do comparative studies on lexicology over the genetic and typologically related languages. This paper has sought to critically research the role of mutual lexical enrichment of kindred languages and assimilation of loanwords, in particular, anglicisms to the vitality, maintenance and revitalisation of Turkic languages in the age of globalisation. The most important reasons for penetration and use of words and terms borrowed from English in modern Turkic languages have extra linguistic nature. However, intra linguistic factors are not an exception. Owing to distinctions of graphic bases of the alphabets and pronunciation norms of Turkic languages, the level of phonetic, grammatical and semantic assimilation of loanwords and terms in these languages are not identical. Because of incomplete phonological and graphic adaptation of loanwords, it becomes clear that in the Turkic languages national colouring, phonetic and orthographic norms of these languages are partly changed.

Keywords: Vitality, lexical system, Turkic languages, globalisation, anglicisms.
Ethnopolitical Tensions and Assessment of the Possibility of Ethnic-National Conflicts
Authors: Naydenko Vitaly N.
Published: September 2019

The article examines the problems of open and latent ethnonational tension in Russian society, which in the conditions of aggravation of the social situation, may lead to the use of spontaneous methods of solving ethnonational conflicts, including those of a violent nature. A survey of 20 experts, who are qualified specialists in the sphere of ethno-extremism counteraction and ethno-national conflict localization, conducted by the author of the article, has shown that the majority of them have assessed both the current and forecasted situation in the sphere of ethnonational relations as “tense” for the next five to seven years. In their opinion, “ethnonational tension” is conditioned by a number of long-term factors that will influence the content and dynamics of ethnonational conflict in the Russian Federation: the desire of the USA for global dominance and the confrontational policy of NATO member states towards Russia; the antiRussian policy of the Ukrainian leadership, which is attempting to accuse Russia of “unleashing and waging a hybrid war against Ukraine” and actively pushing Western countries to strengthen confrontation with the Russian Federation; attempts by some states to bring territorial claims against Russia; intensification of the fight against embezzlement of budgetary funds, systemic corruption and ethno-extremist manifestations in the North Caucasus region; the ethnopolitical situation in the Republic of Crimea, characterized by manifestations of Ukrainian nationalism and militant Islamism. According to expert estimates, the highest degree of ethnonational tension is currently maintained in the Republic of Dagestan, the Republic of Ingushetia, the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, the Karachayevo-Circassian Republic, the Republic of Crimea, the Republic of Bashkortostan and the Republic of Tatarstan. The results of research in the article testify to the necessity of constant study of the problem of ethnonational conflicts, research into the factors influencing the maintenance and dynamics of conflict potential, definition of Russian regions with an increased level of tension, development of recommendations to authorities on prevention and localization of ethnonational conflicts.
"We are Russians” (Associative Ethnic Images of Young St. Petersburg Residents)
Authors: Sikevic Zinaida V. , Fedorova Anna A.
Published: September 2019

The article is devoted to the study of ethnic identity of young people of Russian nationality (on the example of St. Petersburg), by means of associative method (verbal and non-verbal projections). The study found that the ethnic identity of Russians was positive in nature, which was revealed by both verbal and non-verbal associations. Men’s ethnic identity is much stronger than that of women, which is particularly evident in verbal images. This applies to both positive and negative opinions of social nature. The social character of men’s ethnic identity allows us to speak of its transition to the national stage of development, while “female” identity has predominantly ethnocultural orientation. Ethnic images, both verbal and especially non-verbal, are traditional, patriarchal and oriented to the past. The images are stereotypical, firm and weakly subject to dynamics, as evidenced by the similarity of associations in studies of 2001, 2009, 2016 and 2019. The associative method in the form of open questions with subsequent content analysis of characteristics, as well as incomplete proposals, allows us to look beyond controlled reflection, affecting the unrecognized mechanisms of formation of ethnic images.

The study revealed factors that influence the choice of future professions by schoolchildren; generalized schoolchildren’s ideas about the category of “profession” and its content; analyzed ideas of schoolchildren about their professional future; considered the interests of schoolchildren in building a successful career in the Arctic and Russian Far East regions.

The results obtained showed that schoolchildren are more oriented towards higher education, and their chosen professions are in demand in the Arctic and Russian Far East regions where there is a deficit of qualified personnel. The students are optimistic about their professional future, and they also positively assess the opportunities of starting a career with Arctic and Far East companies. Every tenth pupil from Arctic regions and every fifth pupil from the Far East regions noted that they had planned professional implementation in these regions earlier, almost every third pupil was interested in it, but they are not sure that it suits them. The results of the research may be useful in planning themed career guidance activities aimed at involving young people in strategic regions of the country, and useful for career guidance specialists, educators, relevant authorities and researchers.
On the history of researching electoral sociology
Authors: Zemskova Anastasiya Yu.
Published: September 2019

In our modern world electoral sociology, which is under constant scrutiny by the general public, as well as members of the media, in many ways shapes the image of sociology as a scientific discipline. Today sociology is often represented by media reports about the results of public opinion polls on the subject of politics and electoral affairs. Meanwhile a certain other trend is apparent: the high expectations imposed on electoral studies, as well as on their verifiability and efficiency, encourage the further development of sociological research and sociology in general. Scientific studies on electoral processes are defined by the convergence of various schools and paradigms of research, which implies an overlapping of different approaches and methods. This article presents the stages of electoral sociology’s development, from “straw polls” to contemporary theories of electoral behavior (the straw poll stage, electoral sociology in the 1930’s and 1940’s, ecological analysis in electoral sociology, the behavioral approach, the sociological theory on electoral behavior, the socio-psychological theory of electoral behavior, the theory of instrumental rationality), which in modern electoral sociology are known as “post-Gallup” theories. The author reveals the main characteristics of each stage of modern electoral sociology’s development, while highlighting its achievements and value, and giving a comprehensive analysis of modern theories of electoral behavior, with regards to issues located on the line between political sociology and sociology of law. Among these issues special consideration is given to elections as a political phenomenon, the political culture and political attitudes of the electorate, features of voting systems, political mechanisms and electoral technologies.
Impacto dos investimentos em tecnologia da informação nas variáveis estrategicas organizacionais e no desempenho de Micro e Pequenas Empresas (MPE)

Published: September 2019

O aumento nos investimentos e o crescente avanço da tecnologia da informação (TI) têm elevado o número de empresas que estão utilizando-a como ferramenta estratégica com o intuito de aperfeiçoar o desempenho e obter vantagem competitiva. À medida que esses investimentos tornam-se mais acessíveis financeiramente, mais rápida é a sua popularização entre as micro e pequenas empresas (MPE). Por outro lado, apesar dos benefícios aparentemente óbvios da TI, há dúvidas quanto ao seu impacto, principalmente para as MPE. É nesse contexto que o objetivo deste trabalho é medir o impacto dos investimentos em tecnologia da informação nas variáveis estratégicas organizacionais e no desempenho de micro e pequenas empresas. Para atingir esse objetivo, foram identificadas na literatura variáveis estratégicas e de desempenho para elaboração do instrumento de pesquisa. O método utilizado foi a pesquisa survey, e um modelo conceitual foi elaborado e validado por meio de testes estatísticos. A pesquisa foi realizada com 235 MPE, utilizando-se a modelagem de equações estruturais para a avaliação do modelo conceitual e das hipóteses da pesquisa. Constatou-se que há um impacto positivo dos investimentos realizados em TI na gestão de clientes com o desempenho de custos, vendas e produtividade. Detectou-se, ainda, que os investimentos em TI nas MPE impactam principalmente as variáveis Cliente e Eficiência Organizacional Interna, e verificou-se que, quando são realizados os investimentos em TI para o gerenciamento dos clientes e da empresa, maior parece ser o benefício trazido pelos investimentos em TI ao desempenho da organização.
Student Identification and Demonstration of Caring Behaviors During Simulated Patient Experiences
Authors: Bergen Jennie S. , Barber Linda A. Mason
Published: September 2019

A quantitative descriptive study was conducted to explore whether prelicensure nursing students perceive opportunities exist to display caring behaviors during simulated patient experiences and self-identify demonstration of these behaviors. Also, exploration of the specific caring behaviors students demonstrate during simulated experiences was an aim. Findings indicate opportunities to display caring behaviors during simulation are noted by students, and these behaviors are demonstrated during simulated scenarios. Implications of findings for the design of simulation experiences for prelicensure nursing students as a supplement to traditional clinical learning experiences and for evaluation of learning in the affective domain in a simulated environment are noted.
Care Without Assumption: The Perceptions of Transgender Persons Regarding Their Experiences With Nursing Care
Authors: Rivera Denise S.
Published: September 2019

Transgender persons lead highly marginalized lives coupled with secondary social issues, making it challenging for them to receive respectful quality healthcare. The purpose of this study was to explore the lived experiences of transgender patients, so that nursing curricular changes may be instituted. The narrative inquiry allowed the exploration of patient perceptions with nursing care. Four themes emerged, including marginalization, uninformed nursing, system factors, and nursing role significance. Transgender persons suffer from discrimination and feelings of marginalization as a result of institutional culture, personal bias, and assumption. More research may support curricular and system advances for transgender patients.
Swanson's Theory of Caring: An Application to the Role of Nursing Education
Authors: Jarvis Keri
Published: September 2019

Swanson's Theory of Caring emerged from three phenomenological studies carried out in three separate perinatal contexts. Contexts included women who had miscarried, neonatal intensive care unit caregivers, and mothers deemed socially at risk.Swanson identified five caring processes or constructs in the miscarriage study: knowing, being with, doing for, enabling, and maintaining belief. This author conducted a field exercise to test whether the five constructs comprising Swanson's Theory of Caring could be applied to students' evaluation of faculty. The results indicated that students could apply Swanson's Theory of Caring to the evaluation of faculty.

Introduction: ICH (intracerebral hemorrhage) is a medical emergency with high mortality and morbidity that occurs in 15-20% of stroke cases. However, in the Multicenter Surgical Trial in Lobar ICH (STICH) study no benefit was found from the initial operative handler in Lobar ICH patients. Many clinical and radiological factors that affect outcomes of patients.Methods: The design of this study was a cross-sectional study. Clinical and radiological factors were analyzed by chi-square test and Kruskal-Wallis test. Then significant results were sought Relative RiskResults: This research was conducted from January 2017 to September 2018 starting from sampling to processing data. Sampling was carried out at the medical record center of Dr. Hospital. Soetomo Surabaya. Data collection is done by using secondary data in the form of patient medical records. All of the collected intracerebral hemorrhage patients were 302 and the total patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in the study as the study subjects. Patients who met the criteria obtained 247 research subjects.Conclusion: There are several factors that influence the outcome of ICH stroke patients. Radiological factors and clinical factors both have an impact on outcomes. Further research is needed to find out which factors can be a diagnosis for choosing treatments that provide better outcomes. Statistically more than 1 variable is needed to determine an action that results in a more significant outcome of living patients. This shows that the choice of treatment for patients with different characteristics requires different treatments. Further analysis is needed to look for indications of the use of Operative or Conservative actions16.

Published: September 2019

Televizyonun yaygınlaşması ve hayatımızda büyük yer kaplamasıyla sadece bizleri değil çocuklarımızı da büyük ölçüde etkilemiştir. Çocuklara yönelik kanallar, çocuk programları ve çizgi filmlerle çocukları kendilerine bağımlı hale getirmeyi başarmıştır. Çocukların gelişim dönemlerinin en önemlisi olan 0-6 yaş aralığında gelişimlerini olumsuz etkileyecek her türlü etkenden onları uzak tutmak gerekir. Bilinçli bir ebeveyn veya eğitimci tarafından kontrol edilemeyen televizyon izleme saatleri, gelişigüzel izletilen programlar ve çizgi filmler çocukların bedensel-duygusal-sosyal-dil gelişimlerine zarar verecektir. Teknoloji çağında yaşarken çocuklarımızı bu ürünlerden kopuk yetiştiremeyiz. Ailenin çocuklarının gelişimi ve yaşını göz önünde bulundurarak izlettikleri kaliteli programların olumlu etkilerinin olduğunu da belirtmek gerekir. Bilinçli bir medya okuryazarlığı ile çocuklarımızın seçici olmalarını, doğru ve yararlı programları ayırt edip izlemelerini sağlayabiliriz. Çizgi film karakterlerine ait hikâyelerin kitaplaştırılması olayı farklı bir boyuta taşımaktadır. Çocukların sevdiği çizgi film karakterlerinin hikâyelerini okumak okuma alışkanlığı kazanmalarında, olumlu ileti ve değer aktarımında eğitimci ve ailelerin işini kolaylaştırır. Ancak dikkat edilmesi gereken nokta yayın evlerinin ticari kaygı taşımadan çocukları ve çocuk dünyasını göz önünde bulundurarak eserler ortaya koymasıdır. Bu çalışmada çizgi filmlerden kitaplaştırılan Pepe, Canım Kardeşim Leliko hikâyelerinin içerik açısından aktardığı ileti ve değerleri ve okumaya olan katkısını inceleyeceğiz.
