Background: chronic and acute pain are extremely common, particularly among hospitalizes surgical patients, cancer patients, and general medical inpatients. More than half of patients report significant pain. The knowledge and attitude of health professionals toward pain management have frequently been described as inadequate. The purpose of this study was to investigate the attitudes and knowledge of nurses working in health care regarding pain management. Methods: The Nurses' Knowledge and Attitudes Regarding Pain Survey was used in a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional design to examine nurses' perception (knowledge and attitude) about pain. We focused on the nursing field to assess nurses' perceptions of pain management. This study included a convenience sample of 200 nurses from hospitals. Results: Participants who scored 75% were thought to have poor knowledge and an abnormal attitude. Participants with a score of more than 75% were deemed to have adequate knowledge and a positive attitude. According to the findings of the study, the knowledge and attitude percentage means of correct answers about pain management were 61% (SD: 11.97%; 95% CI 59.33-62.6%). Inadequate knowledge and attitude were present in 89.5% of all participants, while adequate knowledge and attitude were present in 10.5%. Previous experience with pain management education was statistically significant (p 0.05). Conclusion and Recommendation: According to the findings of this study, nurses have insufficient knowledge and attitudes toward pain management. Younger nurses had a more positive attitude toward pain management than older nurses. Pain management education influences both knowledge and attitude. There is a need for innovative training approaches. Pain management education is an important part of the nursing orientation program and should be offered all year to all nurses. The NKASRP should be used as a baseline and follow-up measure to explore and test new evidence-based approaches to pain management among nurses.

Published: November 2022

Nuclear and non-nuclear models of hydrogen atom are proposed, each with N equal to 42 or 43 orbits of revolution. Aberration of electric field is invoked to describe radiation from nuclear model with particle of electronic charge -e and mass nm of electronic mass m, revolving in nth orbit, with angular momentum nL, at radius nr1 from a nucleus of charge +Ne and mass (Nm/2)(1 + N), where n = 1, 2, 3...N, and r1 is radius of first orbit. The revolving particles have total charge -Ne and same total mass as the nucleus. The non-nuclear model has two particles of same mass nm and charges +e and -e, revolving diametrically in nth orbit, at radius nr1 from a centre, with particles of total mass Nm(1 + N). Distinct masses nm gives discrete coplanar circular orbits. A particle dislodged from a circular orbit, revolves in an elliptic path with emission of radiation, at the frequency of revolution, in fine structure, before reverting to a stable circular orbit. The nuclear atom is identified with solid or liquid state of hydrogen and non-nuclear atom with gaseous state

Published: November 2022

Com base nos pressupostos teóricos da Sociolinguística (GÓMEZ MOLINA, 1996; BLANCO CANALES, 2004; MORENO FERNÁNDEZ, 2009) e nas contribuições da Linguística Aplicada (BARCELOS, 2001; AGUILERA, 2008), neste trabalho temos como objetivo principal analisar as concepções dos professores de Espanhol como Língua Estrangeira (ELE), em formação inicial, acerca das variedades linguísticas desse idioma. O estudo proposto é essencialmente qualitativo e de natureza interpretativista. Para desenvolvê-lo, investigamos 6 professores de ELE em formação inicial, matriculados em um curso de Licenciatura em Letras ˗ Espanhol. Os dados do estudo foram gerados por meio de questionários e de entrevistas. Como resultado, observamos que os sujeitos investigados demonstram ter preferências por determinadas variedades da Língua Espanhola em detrimento de outras. Avaliamos, ainda, que os fatores que mais influenciaram as atitudes dos futuros professores de ELE foram os de natureza fonética e fonológica (prosódia), em especial, o tempo/a duração de elocução e o ritmo de fala dos locutores hispanofalantes. Entretanto, averiguamos que a frequência de voz não é um elemento que exerce grande interferência nas atitudes linguísticas dos estudantes investigados.

Preparedness in Online Teaching and Learning
Authors: M. Kahigi Christine
Published: November 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has created the largest disruption of education systems in human history, affecting nearly 1.6 billion learners in more than 200 countries. Closures of schools, no, and other learning spaces have impacted more than 94% of the world’s student population. This situation challenged the education system across the world and forced educators to shift to the online mode of teaching overnight. Many academic institutions that were earlier reluctant to change their traditional pedagogical approach had no option but to shift entirely to online teaching-learning and assessment. The paper discusses the importance of online learning not just in times of crisis, but the need of the hour to innovate and implement online teaching as an alternative educational system. The lesson learned from the COVID-19 pandemic is that teachers and students/learners should be oriented on the use of different online educational tools. By looking at the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, & Challenges of e-learning modes, the importance and areas of preparedness have also been discussed.
The Padma Multipurpose Bridge: Construction Challenges and Sustainable Management
Authors: Md. Tauhid Ur Rahman  , Sadib Bin Kabir
Published: November 2022

An iconic building linking Bangladesh's southwest to its northern and eastern areas is the Padma bridge, which spans the third-largest river in the world with a complicated topology. By boosting production, employment, transportation, and the national and regional economy, this multipurpose bridge is projected to boost GDP growth by 1.2%. This study's primary goal is to pinpoint the greatest challenges encountered during Padma Bridge's construction and explain how sustainable management procedures might be put in place to address such difficulties. The most challenging tasks included finding a suitable site, dealing with complex river morphology, overcoming geotechnical barriers, controlling unfavorable environmental conditions, assembling massive construction equipment and materials, maintaining the construction schedule, and dealing with the COVID epidemic. To resolve these construction challenges, massive river training works and a unique pile foundation design that consists of six floating heaps and one center pile with the largest raking pile in the center were both utilized. To get around the difficulties in superstructural design, longer pre-assembled steel truss girders, pre-tensioned Super-T girders in viaducts, seismic isolation devices, and the largest friction pendulum bearings in the world were all made. Only a small number of people experienced COVID-19 without any fatalities or causing delays in the construction schedule since the Project was kept operational during the COVID-19 period by tightly enforcing the COVID laws and limits on people's mobility. The field of construction management would undergo a paradigm shift with this sustainable management of construction-related difficulties, which might later be used to design more intricate bridges.

Analysis of the Effect of Piping Geometrical Shape on Major Head Losses in Pipes
Authors: Alshorman Abdullah
Published: November 2022

This simulation study has been designed to study and scale the head losses (hf) through internal flow passages with different five cross-section areas: these are circular, elliptical, rectangular, square and triangular cross-sectional passages. Those equivalent hydraulic diameters (Dh) were modelled for each shape to be used in head loss calculations and analysis using the Darcy-Weisbach equation. These equations formed the main structure of the mathematical model of this study to enable the building of the subsequent computerized model using MATLAB® software. Five major parameters were considered for head losses investigation and scaling for each pipe shape, these are the pipe length (L), the hydraulic diameters (Dh), friction coefficient (f), volumetric flow rate or discharge (Q) and mass flow rate (dm/dt). The results showed that head losses of non-circular pipes have relatively higher head losses than that of circular pipes,
also the scaling head losses were strongly affected by the pipe geometry and shape, the flow characteristics and fluid properties. Furthermore, the head losses have been severely inversely affected by low pipe hydraulic diameter (Dh 0.10 m) and then be likely to be the same at higher pipe diameter (Dh ≥ 0.25 m) for all pipe shapes. Also, the most
recommended pipe shapes for lower head losses next to the circular pipe are elliptical and square, while the less recommended are triangular and rectangular shapes respectively.
Kinetics of Natural Kaolinite as a Catalyst for Toluene Dry Reforming
Authors: Abu El-Rub Ziad A
Published: November 2022

This study aims to develop a kinetic model for natural kaolinite as a potential tar removal catalyst in biomass gasification processes. The catalyst was crushed, sieved (0.2mm), and analyzed using TGA, BET, and XRF. The apparent first-order kinetic parameters of the dry reforming reaction at temperatures ranging from 750 to 900°C under 1atm were used to determine kaolinite's catalytic activity. It was found that both dry reforming and thermal cracking reactions occurred simultaneously. Furthermore, the raw kaolinite catalyst significantly removed toluene (80% at 900°C), at activation energy and frequency factor of 209 kJ/mol and 5.86×109s−1, respectively. Capitalizing on its catalytic activity in its natural form and its high efficacy as fluidized bed material, kaolinite can have
great potential in primary and secondary tar reduction measures.

German Crime Dramas from Network Television to Netflix
Authors: Simon Sunka
Published: November 2022

German Crime Dramas from Network Television to Netflix approaches German television crime dramas to uncover the intersections between the genre's media-specific network and post-network formats and how these negotiate with and contribute to concepts of the regional, national, and global.

Part I concentrates on the ARD network's long-running flagship series Tatort (Crime Scene 1970-). Because the domestically produced crime drama succeeded in interacting with and competing against dominant U.S. formats during 3 different mediascapes, it offers strategic lessons for post-network television. Situating 9 Tatort episodes in their televisual moment within the Sunday evening flow over 38 years and 3 different German regions reveals how producers, writers, directors, critics, and audiences interacted not only with the cultural socio-political context, but also responded to the challenges aesthetically, narratively, and media-reflexively.

Part II explores how post-2017 German crime dramas (Babylon Berlin, Dark, Perfume, and Dogs of Berlin) rework the genre's formal and narrative conventions for global circulation on Netflix. Each chapter concentrates on the dynamic interplay between time-shifted viewing, transmedia storytelling, genre hybridity, and how these interact with projections of cultural specificity and continue or depart from established network practices. The results offer crucial information and inspiration for producers and executives, for creative teams, program directors, and television scholars.
The Cinematic Influence
Authors: Pugsley Peter C. , McCann Ben
Published: November 2022

Exploring the multiple aesthetic and cultural links between French and Japanese cinema, The Cinematic Influence is packed with vivid examples and case studies of films by Akira Kurosawa, Jean-Luc Godard, Hirokazu Kore-eda, Claire Denis, Naomi Kawase, Michel Gondry and many others. It illustrates the vast array of cinematic connections that mark a long history of mutual influence and reverence between filmmakers in France and Japan.

The book provides new insights into the ways that national cinemas resist Hollywood to maintain and strengthen their own cultural practices and how these national cinemas perform the task of informing and enlightening other cultures about what it means to be French or Japanese. This book also deepens our understandings of film's role as a viable cultural and economic player in individual nations. Importantly, the reader will see that film operates as a form of cultural exchange between France and Japan, and more broadly, Europe and Asia. This is the first major book to investigate the crossover between these two diverse national cinemas by tracking their history of shared narrative and stylistic techniques.
Tokyo Story
Authors: Phillips Alastair
Published: November 2022

Ozu Yasujiro’s moving family drama, Tokyo monogatari/Tokyo Story (1953), is universally acknowledged as one of the most significant Japanese films ever made, and regularly cited as one of the greatest films of all time in polls of leading critics and filmmakers around the world.

Telling the story of an elderly couple who travel to Tokyo to visit their grown-up children, the film contrasts the behaviour of their children, who are too busy to pay their parents much attention, and their widowed daughter-in-law who treats them with hospitable kindness. In its complex portrait of human motivation and lively sense of social space, it offers a profound and poignant insight into the generational shifts of postwar Japan.

Alastair Phillips combines a close analysis of the film and its key locations - the city of Tokyo, the town of Onomichi and the coastal resort of Atami - with a discussion of its representation of Japanese society at a time of great cultural change. Drawing upon Japanese and English language sources, he situates the film within various contemporary critical and industrial contexts and examines the multiple international dimensions of Tokyo Story’s long after-life to understand its enormous contribution to global film culture.

Authors: Seyedin, PhD Hesam , Moslehi, PhD Shandiz , Dowlati, PhD Mohsen , Ehsanzadeh, PhD Seyed Jafar
Published: November 2022

Background: Biological hazards such as epidemic, pandemic, and bioterrorism are the most probable types of emergencies and disasters, which cause a high rate of mortality and morbidity. Hospitals have an important role in reducing the consequences of biological hazards. Given this, we set out the present study to design a model for managing biological hazards in hospitals.Methods: A qualitative content analysis study was performed using in-depth semistructured interviews with 40 experts. We selected participants through purposeful sampling; also, we interviewed experienced experts, policy makers, and managers in the field of hospital management regarding biological hazards. The study setting was Iran Ministry of Health and hospitals as well as other relevant organizations responsible for hospital management in biological hazards. We analyzed the data concurrently using the method recommended by Graneheim and Lundman. Results: After collecting and analyzing the data obtained from the interviews, we extracted the dimensions of our model in the form of four themes, including mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery.Conclusion: Based on the results of the present study, we believe that a comprehensive and practical model for hospital preparedness regarding management of biological hazards is essential. The model of hospital preparedness in biological hazards leads to an effective response and reduces the physical, psychological, social, and economic consequences of biological hazards.
Reliability and validity of a new measure of agility and equilibrium: the reaction balance test
Authors: Oyama Yusuke , Murayama Toshio
Published: November 2022

Purpose.

The evaluation has been limited to a single ability, such as agility or equilibrium, and has not been conducted in a series of movements. In addition, a measurement method that is less burdensome for the participants has not been established. In this study, we designed a new reaction balance test (RB T) that combines agility and equilibrium and examined its reliability and validity.

Methods.

The participants were 49 young people (17 males, 32 females). Their whole-body reaction time (WRT) and center of pressure (COP) during a 30-second trial (COP30) of single-leg standing with open eyes were measured to determine their agility and equilibrium, respectively. Overall, 4 COP parameters were evaluated during COP30. For RBT, the participants were asked to quickly raise one leg after sensing a light stimulus and stand on the other leg for 10 seconds (COP10). The test evaluated their single-leg reaction time (SRT) and the same 4 parameters as those in COP30.

Results.

The intraclass correlation coefficients between agility (WRT and SRT) and equilibrium (total length [TL] at COP30 and COP10) were all > 0.81. In addition, no proportional error was observed for COP30 or COP10, only for TL of the non-dominant leg. There were significant associations between WRT and SRT for agility and between COP30 and COP10 for equilibrium for TL.

Conclusions.

It was suggested that the reliability and validity of RB T could be improved by evaluating TL by using the dominant leg for agility and the non-dominant leg for equilibrium.

Introduction: All actions that precede the arrival of the patient in the hospital are attributed to the prehospital care service. Qualified care at the time of occurrence, transportation and prior arrival at the hospital positively influences the morbidity and mortality rates due to trauma and are paramount for the survival of the victim. Objective: To describe the epidemiological profile of traumatic care performed by the basic emergency mobile service in the city of Pedras de Fogo-PB. Methodology: This is a field-based, descriptive, descriptive, retrospective study with a quantitative approach, based on SAMU records, from January 2017 to January 2018. Data collection was performed through an instrument prepared by the researcher that was filled using data obtained. Results: It was observed through this study that the prevalence of traumatic cases attended by the service had as its main cause the motorcycle and the young adult male. Final Considerations: Concluding that data are omitted from the charts and that the quality of care generates patient survival.

Pelaku tindak pidana, termasuk pelaku makar wajib dilindungi hak asasinya dalam proses penyidikan sampai pemidanaan. Praktik menunjukkan bahwa pelanggaran Hak asasi manusia terhadap tahanan dan narapidana masih saja terjadi. Melalui pendekatan penelitan yuridis normatif, disimpulkan bahwa Penegakan hukum terhadap mereka yang dianggap sebagai pelaku makar khususnya dalam  penggunaan upaya paksa dan pemasyarakatan masih ditemukan adanya pelanggaran HAM bukanlah menunjukkan adanya pelanggaran HAM  secara khusus terhadap pelaku makar karena praktik serupa pun terjadi juga terhadap penindakan tindak pidana lain.

State-Owned Enterprises are legal entities created by the Government using funds taken from the State Revenue Budget (APBN) as a form of state effort to meet the needs and benefits of the Indonesian people, but in carrying out their business several problems arise related to the limitations of the flow of state finances in the finances of the Agency. State-Owned Enterprises, which often this lack of clarity causes several problems related to legal qualifications due to business actions that are not profitable for State-Owned Enterprises that lead to criminal acts of corruption. detrimental to state finances. The Law Number 40 of 2007 concerning Limited Liability Companies has clearly adopted the legal principle of Immunity Doctrine against the structure of Limited Liability Companies, namely the Business Judgemaent Rule. there are several aspects to qualify as an action in accordance with the principles of the Business Judgment Rule. State-Owned Enterprises in carrying out business are subject to the Limited Liability Company law, but in terms of finances, it refers to the regulation on State Finance, this is the point of problems in the State-Owned Enterprises sector

Abstract. Eastern Africa has experienced strong climatic changes since the
last deglaciation (15 000 years ago). The driving mechanisms and
teleconnections of these spatially complex climate variations are yet not
fully understood. Although previous studies on lake systems have enhanced
our knowledge of Holocene precipitation variation in eastern Africa,
relatively few studies have reconstructed the terrestrial temperature
history of eastern Africa from lake archives. Here, we present (i) a new
branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (brGDGT) temperature
calibration that includes Bale Mountains surface sediments and (ii) a
quantitative record of mean annual air temperature (MAT) over the past 12 ka cal BP using brGDGTs in a sediment core collected from Garba Guracha (3950 m a.s.l.) in the Bale Mountains. After adding Bale Mountains surface sediment
(n=11) data (Baxter et al., 2019) to the existing East African lake dataset, additional
variation in 6-methyl brGDGTs was observed, which necessitated modifying the
MBT5ME′ calibration (MBT denotes methylation of branched tetraethers) by adding 6-methyl brGDGT IIIa′ (resulting in the
MBT Bale Mountains index, r2=0.93, p<0.05). Comparing the
MBT5ME′ and the new MBT Bale Mountains index, our high-altitude Garba
Guracha temperature record shows that warming occurred shortly after the
Holocene onset when the temperature increased by more than 3.0 ∘C
in less than 600 years. The highest temperatures prevailed between 9 and 6 ka cal BP, followed by a temperature decrease until 1.4 ka cal BP. The
reconstructed temperature history is linked to supraregional climatic
changes associated with insolation forcing and the African Humid Period
(AHP), as well as with local anomalies associated with catchment
deglaciation and hydrology.
Validating the Nernst–Planck transport model under reaction-driven flow conditions using RetroPy v1.0

Abstract. Reactive transport processes in natural environments often involve many ionic species. The diffusivities of ionic species vary. Since assigning different diffusivities in the advection-diffusion equation leads to charge imbalance, a single diffusivity is usually used for all species. In this work, we apply the Nernst–Planck equation, which resolves unequal diffusivities of the species in an electroneutral manner, to model reactive transport. To demonstrate the advantages of the Nernst–Planck model, we compare the simulation results of transport under reaction-driven flow conditions using the Nernst–Planck model with those of the commonly used single-diffusivity model. All simulations are also compared to well-defined experiments. Our results show that the Nernst–Planck model is valid and particularly relevant for modeling reactive transport processes with an intricate interplay among diffusion, reaction, electromigration, and density-driven convection.
