Published: December 2019

Para um bom andamento dos procedimentos estéticos, o profissional deve está atento aos níveis de hidratação cutânea, pois a partir do mecanismo de hidratação da pele que se obtém bons resultados, além de tudo a pele permanecerá saudável, macia, com flexibilidade e elasticidade. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de uma revisão de literatura, exploratória de abordagem qualitativa e de método observacional. Esse trabalho possui como objetivo analisar como uma pele hidratada corresponde melhor aos procedimentos estéticos, através de uma revisão bibliográfica baseada em livros e artigos científicos. Os artigos científicos foram realizados com base em dados fornecidos mediante PubMed, Sciello, Science Direct, Revistas Cientificas e livros. Os estudos avaliados nesta revisão demonstram que, a hidratação é sim eficaz para manter a integridade da pele, essa hidratação irá aumentar a carga hídrica, restaurar a barreira lipídica da camada córnea e consequentemente proporcionará uma nutrição celular.

Published: December 2019

O objetivo do presente estudo foi compreender as ações comportamentais e temperamentais envolvidas no transtorno bipolar, através da história pessoal e familiar envolvidas nas narrativas de pacientes oriundos da zona rural, em unidade de atenção básica de saúde, no interior da Paraíba, levando-se em consideração a hipótese diagnóstica de espectro bipolar. Métodos: Participaram do nosso estudo 30 pacientes com idade média variando entre 12 a 67 anos, encaminhados por uma equipe de PSF (Programa Saúde da Família), da zona rural de Aparecida, localizada no interior da Paraíba, com hipótese diagnóstica de Transtorno Bipolar (DSM-V). Para a coleta de dados utilizamos a entrevista não estruturada, com características específicas interligadas ao transtorno bipolar. Este processo nos levou à análise quanti-qualitativa no sentido de análise de conteúdo clássica. A análise foi complementada com a Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD) como instrumento de avaliação dos pacientes. Resultados: Dos 30 pacientes entrevistados, 21 atingiram os parâmetros pré-estabelecidos ao espectro bipolar, predominando a atuação depressiva associada à euforia de grau moderado/grave; sendo que destes, 11 pacientes apresentaram indicadores de história familiar do transtorno.12 pacientes mostraram dificuldades em precisar o início do transtorno, informando várias nomenclaturas veiculadas ao diagnóstico, o que sinalizou um diagnóstico não preciso na 1ª consulta. O episódio de mania e hipomania prevaleceram no sexo masculino, e a presença de sintomas psicóticos no sexo feminino. Conclusão: Através da identificação do espectro bipolar pacientes carecem de tradução as diferentes maneiras mobilizadas pelas ações comportamentais e temperamentais na tradução dos prejuízos a sua vida quotidiana.

To demonstrate that percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) may in some cases be a safe option for patients with a high-risk surgical category, we report a complex clinical case of revascularization of multivessel coronary artery disease including left main coronary artery (LMCA) quadrifurcation.

Methods
For safety reasons, PCI was done in 2 separate sessions (staged PCI). Stenting of the LMCA quadrifurcation was performed using different stenting techniques in combination: modified balloon mini crush stenting technique was used - for LMCA and intermediate artery (IMA) stenting; modified balloon crush stenting technique was used for LMCA, circumflex artery (CX) and first obtuse marginal branch (OM1) stenting; provisional stenting technique was used for CX stenting, followed by sequential kissing balloon post-dilatation technique between LMCA and every branch; proximal optimization technique (POT) was performed in the LMCA. Left anterior descending artery (LAD), intermediate artery, circumflex artery, first obtuse marginal branch, left main coronary artery and its quadrifurcation were stented with 5 drug-eluting stents (DES) (Resolute Integrity, Medtronic); right coronary artery (RCA) was stented with 3 bare-metal stents (BMS) (Rebel, Boston Scientific).

Results
The interventions ended without complications, the ejection fraction increased from 35% to 48%, congestive heart failure functional class decreased to class I. Subsequent coronary angiography, eight months after the last PCI, revealed patent stents with mild, nonsignificant restenosis. More than three years after the intervention, the patient has no complaints (according to MACE).

Conclusions
It should be considered that in case of the selection of suitable patients and the use of the appropriate revascularization technique, LMCA quadrifurcation lesion can be successfully treated with PCI.

The return of large mammals is usually accompanied with various concerns, which does not differ even with the considered return of the bison to the landscape, which raises the need for residents of the region to cope with its presence. The public's attitude to the bison is related to its long-term absence and lack of information about its behavior, but especially to the potential risk associated with its permanent and unlimited presence in the landscape.

Authors: Das Mitali , Singha H R , Saha Kishan
Published: January 2020

Polymerase Chain reaction (PCR) based molecular characterization has been undertaken for assessing the genetic diversity in five populations of Solanum torvum using SSR and RAPD markers. In this study, 8 SSRs produced 151 fragments of which 131 bands were polymorphic (86.38%). The primers, At5 amplified the highest number of polymorphic loci (27) and the highest PIC was recorded in CBT08 (0.54). In comparison, RAPD assay produced 70 bands with 79.16% polymorphism. The PIC value was highest in OPC14 (0.41). UPGMA clustering for SSR and RAPD markers grouped all the populations into two clusters. Our findings on SSR profile suggests that though different populations of S. torvum are inherited from a common ancestor eventually the population (STP5) with greater genetic diversity is stabilized in the high altitude of Sub - Himalayan region of Tripura in the due course of evolution.

Localization of agriculture with the aim of local food support has become a very urgent topic for Yamal region. The most fertile soils of this region are sandy textured anthropogenically affected soils. Microbiomes from disturbed soils of the Nadym region were studied using analysis of 16S rRNA metagenomic libraries. It was shown that plant cover is a driving force of microbiome composition. Forest soils covered with aeolian transfers from the quarry retaids a typical forest microbiome with the following dominant bacterial phyla: Proteobateria, Acidobacteria, Verrucomicrobia, Planctomycetes and Bacteroidetes. However, it contains significantly less Planctomycetes, which indicates greater aridity of the soil. The microbiomes of the overgrown quarries were strikingly differ from the soil microbiome and resemble those of arctic soils being dominated by Proteobacteria, Chloroflexi, Acidobacteria and Cyanobacteria. Absence of dense vegetation cover and availability of nutrients facilitated the formation of autotrophic microbial mats. The microbiome of the lower horizons of the quarry is characterised by Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria and Firmicutes. Presumably, most of the time these bacteria reside in a dormant state with short periods of activity due to nutrient uptake from the upper horizons.
Rain Water Harvesting for Food and Livelihood Security: A case study from Pali, India
Authors: Singh D. , Choudhary M. K. , Meena M. L. , Kumar Chandan
Published: December 2019

Arid zones are characterized by high evaporation, low and uneven rainfall, undulated topography, presence of salt layers at shallow depth in the soil and poor-quality ground water. Under these conditions an innovative farmer in the district of Pali in the state of Rajasthan, India explored options for farm diversification under hot-arid conditions at his farm. His motivation brought him to the ICAR-Central Arid Zone Research Institute (CAZRI), Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) where he was trained in various basic aspects of rain water harvesting. KVK, Pali studied the methods and innovative ideas utilized by the farmers and the subsequent gain in yield and income by adoption of rainwater harvesting at his farm on a yearly basis. Initially he constructed a small rainwater harvesting structure by which he was able to store substantial quantities of water for longer duration. As a result of constant motivation, he constructed a concrete rainwater storage structure (40M x 40M x 3.5M) and explored further options to increase production at his farm. Also, development of goat farming, intercropping, raising fodder crops and grasses, and developing a fishery, all from the gains of water harvested from rains, gave him confidence and added to the prosperity of his farm. Presently, on farm productive activities, family labour mobilization and diversification provide him with a stable income. This experiential learning also led to new knowledge emerging from interactions among a hitherto powerful scientific hierarchy and served as role model for other farmers’ adoption of innovative techniques.
Skolt Sami Reindeer Ownership: Structural Changes as the Triggers of a New Era
Authors: Itkonen Panu M.
Published: December 2019

This article combines views of economic and legal anthropology in its exploration of Skolt Sami reindeer ownership. The Skolt Sami culture and its key form of livelihood, reindeer herding, have adjusted to the modern industrial society fairly well so far, but it is getting more obvious that the aims and practices of a modern industrial economy endanger the continuity of Skolt Sami reindeer ownership. This article present accounts of Skolt Sami reindeer ownership in different time points, which indicates that we are witnessing a historical turning point in Skolt Sami culture. The centralization of reindeer ownership changes Skolt Sami culture in many ways, for example, by shrinking the traditional way of combining different forms of livelihood as a means of survival. The vulnerability of Skolt Sami reindeer herding has increased as a result of the changes. Therefore, this article develops questions and reasoning that could make it possible to increase the protection of Skolt Sami reindeer ownership. Anthropological researchers have stressed the importance of the social cultural whole of the community next to the economic features of culture. The emphasis on cultural continuity places sustainability before profitability in economic aims of reindeer husbandry.

Published: December 2019

The aim of this work was to identify procedures adopted by family farms in the centre and north of Portugal and Galicia (Spain), and to verify whether they resemble those used in organic farming. A checklist was prepared in Portuguese and Spanish and applied personally to managers of family farms. The participation was voluntary and 125 valid responses were collected.

The results show that farmers included in the study owned small family farms where labour is mainly performed by the family, and tended to adopt, in general, good agricultural practices, many of which are common to organic farming, such as crop rotation, avoidance of GMO or avoidance of phytoregulators. However, they failed to adopt some important practices, including the use of seeds inoculated with mycorrhizae, composting, biological and biotechnical control or avoidance of chemical control for plant protection. It was further concluded that gender and age of the farmers did not significantly influence the type of agricultural practices, contrarily to the level of education and region, which were significantly associated with many of the cultural interventions investigated.

Published: December 2019

The global climate change has become one of the imperative issue for the smallholder dominated agriculture and tourism sectors in Sri Lanka. This study investigated the perception of farmers on climate change and the potential of agritourism as a sustainable adaptation option to mitigate the negative impacts of climate change in both tourism and agricultural sectors. The study was carried out in the low country dry zone (LCDZ) and the upcountry wet zone (UPWZ) of Sri Lanka. A survey strategy followed by structured and unstructured interviews were undertaken to collect the data. The sample was composed of 100 farmers each from the UPWZ and LCDZ respectively. The study revealed that there had been climate extremes in both climatic zones in terms of high rainfall and longer dry spells. Thus, it was important for the farmers to have necessary knowledge and skills on different diversification techniques related to crop-production, integrated farming systems and climate resilient production which are economical and mitigate the adverse climatic effects. However, the results revealed that the farmers have altered the cropping patterns and crop management practices rather than adopting entrepreneurial activities like agritourism. Lack of awareness of agritourism within the farming community is the main reason for farmers not contemplating this important diversification option. The results indicate that a significant number of farmers showed interest in considering agritourism as an option to mitigate climate change. It is important to educate farmers on diversification options.

Authors: Bartoń Elżbieta , Ślusarz Robert , Guz Ewa , Jasik Józef , Turowski Krzysztof , Mazur Anna , Zarzycka Danuta
Published: December 2019

Introduction. Satisfaction of patients with nursing care is an important, subjective indicator of the quality of relational care, conditioned by the level of care provided and individual patient perception of care. The project adopted a compensation model for the satisfaction of patients with care.Aim. The aim of the work is to present what dimension of satisfaction from nursing is dominant among patients with lumbar spine pain syndrome and to determine whether their assessment depends on the severity of functional consequences of pain.Material and Methods. The research was performed using the diagnostic survey method and the survey technique. The research tools allowing for the collection of information were: Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Scale — NSNS and Visual Analog Scale by Barbara Headley. In addition, an original questionnaire was developed by the authors, taking into account medical and socio-demographic variables. The research was carried out from January to October 2017 among 205 patients of two neurosurgical clinics. The selection of patients for the research was purposeful. The project received a positive opinion of the Bioethics Committee at the Medical University in Lublin. Statistical analysis was performed using, among others, multivariate analysis of MANOVA variance in a mixed scheme.Results. In the assessment of patients with lumbar spine pain syndrome, the dominant dimension of satisfaction with nursing is the positive experience from the nursing care received at the ward (M = 5.66, SD = 0.56), and satisfaction with the care received is at a statistically significantly lower level (M = 3.05, SD = 0.48). The overall satisfaction with nursing is highest in patients displaying low (M = 4.40, SD = 0.49) and high (M = 4.43, SD = 0.53) functional consequences of pain.Conclusions. The results of the research compiled in the context of the compensatory satisfaction model indicate that patients formulating an opinion in terms of satisfaction with nursing are based on an objective assessment, i.e.: experienced care events.

Published: December 2019

Introduction. Back pain is a medico-socio-economic problem that affects about 90% of the population. People associated with medical professional are particularly exposed to frequent perceived back pain, which translates into their daily functioning.Aim. The aim of the study is to assess spinal pain in a group of professionally active nurses and their impact on everyday functioning.Material and Methods. The study included a group of 100 nurses from the Provincial Children’s Hospital in Bydgoszcz, who are professionally active. The diagnostic survey method was used, while the tools were: author’s questionnaire, VAS scale and Revised Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Scale Questionnaire (Polish version). Data has been prepared statistically. The level of p ≤ 0.05 was assumed to be statistically significant.Results. In the group of nurses who have work experience within 11–20 years, the average pain perceived was at the level of 3.21 points, while among women with seniority over 21 years, the average pain perceived was about 4.5 points. Pain ailments were also experienced by nurses working in the profession less than 10 years — the average of 1.62 points. The seniority of the studied women remained statistically significant, the average correlation with the pain results (p = 0.000).Conclusions. The problem of pain in nurses is a frequent phenomenon. Seniority in the profession is related to the occurrence of pain in nurses, i.e. the higher the seniority, the greater the perception of pain, which translates into their functioning. The place and system of nurses’ work are not factors significantly affecting the occurrence of back pain. (JNNN 2019;8(1):16–22)

Authors: Kaczan Teresa , Śmigiel Robert , Kazimierska-Zając Magdalena , Dymarek Robert , Rosińczuk Joanna
Published: December 2019

Introduction. The Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is a rare disorder characterized by a wide spectrum of symptoms i.a. umbilical hernia or omphalocele, macroglossia and above-average pre/postnatal growth (macrosomia).Aim. To present a case report of a child with BWS who underwent an early logopedic intervention and rehabilitation procedures including Bobath neuro-developmental treatment (NDT) and orofacial stimulation based on the Castillo-Morales concept (CMC).Case Report. The paper presents a case of a girl with BWS and the course of her psychomotor development during the 24 months of her life. The child has numerous defects typical for this syndrome, i.e. facial dysmorphism, macrosomia, and significant hypertrophy of the tongue as well as embryonal carcinomas such as hepatoblastoma and neuroblastoma. Psychomotor development was assessed at the age of 12 months using the Munich Functional Developmental Diagnostics (MFDD). At the age of 2, development of fine and gross motor skills and independence level do not differ significantly from the norm. The biggest problem concerns verbalization of needs due to the enlarged tongue. The girl still remains under multidisciplinary team care and is intensively rehabilitated.Discussion. There is no doubt that the care of children with BWS requires an interdisciplinary team of specialists. The child needs not only proper physical development, but also correct interpersonal relationships built on verbal communication. Therapy should be started as early as possible before bad habits develop.Conclusions. The knowledge of clinical features characteristic for the syndrome allows for rapid diagnosis and providing interdisciplinary care since the moment of birth. Children with BWS develop in individual ways depending on the type of genetic cause and additional defects. The care of BWS children must involve permanent and interdisciplinary co-operation with many specialists. (JNNN 2019;8(1):23–29)

Published: December 2019

The role of nurses as health professionals var-greatly throughout the world. What is constant for all nurses is that the nursing profession is expected and committed to serve society and provide high quality and safe health care to all recipients of health care. To that end, safety and quality initiatives are underway across the globe to achieve the best health care outcomes possible based on the implementation of scientific evidence and best evidence-based clinical practices available. The purpose of this paper is to explain how safety and quality improvement (QI) initiatives achieve high quality outcomes for patients and how an understanding of the relationships among research, evidence-based practice, and QI and the role of the professional nurse in QI helps nursing meet its commitment to achieve the best possible care and outcomes for patients. The Model for Improvement is provided as a scientific methodology for QI initiatives in health care. Nurses understand the processes of care including what works well and what does not, and they have the clinical experience and scientific knowledge needed to improving processes of care that lead to more effective patient outcomes.

Published: December 2019

In accordance with the WHO (World Health Organization) definition applicable since 1980, stroke (BS) is a disease syndrome characterized by a sudden occurrence of focal or generalized cerebral dysfunctions, which last longer than 24 hours, unless they are fatal. Thrombolytic therapy is currently the recommended and most effective method of treatment of recent ischemic stroke. The success of treating stroke equally depends on the appropriate organization of the entire team caring for the patient.In order to efficiently conduct thrombolytic treatment in a patient with acute ischemic stroke, medical and nursing staff working in the Department of Stroke Treatment should have the following skills: high level of professional responsibility, high professional competence, have the ability to cooperate in a team and establish interpersonal contacts, including those with the patient and their family. Team members should make difficult decisions jointly, analyze and modify their activities so that treatment could be implemented as soon as possible while maintaining the utmost discretion and clinical alertness.This article was prepared in order to summarize and organize available knowledge on the cooperation between the doctor and nursing staff in the diagnosis and thrombolytic therapy of patients in the acute stroke period.

Nine Meditations on Difference and Repetition
Authors: de la Garza Sarah Amira
Published: January 2020

In the spirit of Gilles Deleuze, who sought to interrogate the presuppositions of the ideas and concepts we assume as a function of our education and social existence, this essay uses poetic prose to reflect upon nine quotations from Difference and Repetition as they are relevant to questions of merit and distinction. Like Deleuze, the author assumes that allusive and even metaphysical prose employing neologisms and creative (re)interpretation of language can be especially helpful when critiquing and seeking to understand repetition, tradition, and hierarchies that have been locked in place by disciplined styles of expression.
Can We Share the Light?
Authors: Smith Lionnell
Published: January 2020

In this essay, I discuss the overwhelming presence of whiteness within communication studies and its effects on Black/African American communication scholarship. This autoethnography reveals a juxtaposition of my initial experience with the National Communication Association and its current political struggle with issues of diversity and intellectual merit. Drawing from personal experiences and observations, I argue that communication pedagogy is essentially a double-edged sword that simultaneously liberates and subjugates. The goal of the essay is articulated in a pointed call to action for communication faculty, imploring us all to use our pedagogical agency to de-center whiteness within communication studies.
In the Name of Merit
Authors: Dutt-Ballerstadt Reshmi
Published: January 2020

Racial violence in the academy is enacted upon faculty of color, particularly women, in multiple disciplines. This essay attempts to both expose and suggest that everyday systemic racism has become a pervasive and normalizing feature within disciplines that continue to privilege white and Eurocentric forms of knowledge making while devaluing others. Furthermore, attempts to challenge such supremacies are immediately countered by calls and charges of incivility. This is an essay about the costs of unmasking norms of civility as it bears upon constructions of both whiteness and meritocracy.

Seed viability and germination are central topics for Seed Science and Technology, especially regarding useful and/or threatened plants, such as medicinal and crop species. Both seed viability and germination may be affected by various factors, including phytopathogens, environmental conditions and age of the seeds. Therefore, on one hand there is a constant need to monitor seed quality and on the other to prevent pests and improve recruitment performance. These topics are addressed in this issue through new user-friendly techniques or existing protocols, which may include inter-disciplinary approaches combining molecular, ecological and agronomic skills.
Hyphaene petersiana dormancy and germination
Authors: Mutete P. , Mazarura U. , Gasura E. , Richardson-Kageler S. , Ngadze E. , Kativu S.
Published: December 2019

Hyphaene petersiana is a naturally occurring palm tree in Zimbabwe. The tree provides an important supplementary source of income to the communities where it is found, with a high demand for foliage for making baskets and sap for wine making. Propagation is both by vegetative and sexual methods, however, sexual propagation is constrained by the inherent dormancy of the seeds. Breaking seed dormancy is also the first step towards developing a conservation programme for the tree. The effect of water soaking (for 12, 24 and 48 hours), chemical scarification (sulphuric acid for 10 minutes), de-husking (tegument removal), sand papering as well as chemical treatment (thiourea and potassium nitrate) were compared with untreated seeds (control). No germination was observed for seeds treated with sulphuric acid. Water soaking for 12 hours gave the highest germination (71.7%) although not significantly different to other treatments.

This study aims to reveal the coherence of 19 analytical exposition texts written by the fourth semester students of English Department of UNNES through analysis of schematic structure, thematic choices, and thematic developments. Coherence is an essential component to create a make-sense text. Thus, it is very important to know the students’ competency in writing a good text. This study applied a qualitative approach. It employed theories of schematic structure based on stages proposed by Gerot and Wignell (1995), thematic choices from Gerot and Wignell (1995) and thematic developments by Eggins (2004). The findings indicated that students preferably used topical Theme (67.79%) and textual Theme (30.42%). In addition, in terms of thematic developments, Theme Reiteration is the commonest pattern applied by the students. Based on the findings, students’ texts were less coherence because there were several texts having an incomplete thesis at the beginning of the paragraph and one text leaving 1 out of 3 stages of exposition text. Furthermore, the over-use of Theme Reiteration might show that the students’ writing skill is low because they could not elaborate their ideas through various methods. In short, the students could be regarded as novice writers.

This study is about analysis of textual meanings in English textbook instructions. The main purpose of this study is to analyse the textual meanings found in the textbook instructions to support the learning objectives. Textual meaning is indicated by Theme and Rheme within the clauses. Halliday and Matthiessen (2014) said that theme is coded by three elements, they are topical, textual and interpersonal. The student textbook entitled Bahasa Inggris Kelas X 2017 Revision published by The Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture was chosen as the object of the study because it is the most widely used textbook in state shools in Indonesia. Meanwhile, the data were the instruction clauses in Chapters 1-7 (the first semester) of the textbook.

The findings show that the English textbook instructions in Chapters 1-7 contains Unmarked Topical Theme (76%), Textual Theme (17%), Marked Topical Theme (5%), and Interpersonal Theme (2%). Unmarked Topical Theme is the most dominant type of Theme found in the clauses which is realized by verb. It is in line with the dominant mood type of the instruction, that is imperative which thematized verb in the clauses (Halliday and Mattheissein, 2014).
