Authors: Maklakova Olga A. , Valina S. L.
Published: November 2019

There was performed an examination of 437 pre-school aged children living in the conditions of the pollution of atmospheric air with benzene, phenol andformaldehyde. Children with the elevated blood content of benzene, phenol andformaldehyde were detected to be diagnosed as having chronic respiratory diseases and asteno-neurotic syndrome by 3 and 1.3 times more often, respectively, in contrast to the reference group. Cardiorespiratory disorders in children with the elevated content of benzene, phenol and formaldehyde are manifested by restrictive and mixed disorders of airway conductance followed by the increase in markers of proliferative cell activity (CA-72-4 and M 20), changes in the electrophysiologicalprocesses in cardiac muscle pronounced by the decreased electric ventricular systole (QT interval) followed by the decline of the content in blood of glutathione-S-transferase, zAMF, nitrogen oxide and the increase in the lipids hydroperoxide level, and creatine phosphokinase activity.

Published: November 2019

By means of special devices there was performed research of air in premises of 17 cafes and restaurants where nargile is smoking. In the premises during the day and more there was evaluated a concentration of the following markers of tobacco smoke: carbon monoxide (CO), nicotine, tobacco smoke particles PM2,5 andpolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). In the air of the examined enterprises the concentration of the major markers of tobacco smoke was established to exceed by several times acceptable and safe levels. At that in cafes and restaurants where nargile smoking the higher concentration of CO and PAHs was on average significantly more frequently than in a cafes with a rare nargile smoking. The data obtained can be used to refute the opinion on the safety of nargile smoking and tobacco smoke from the nargiles. All modern legislative and administrative measures to restrict and ban tobacco smoking should be extend to smoking nargile.

The chromato-mass-spectrometric studies of volatile emissions of fresh-cut roses have revealed the persistence of wide range of organic compounds. The most large content was consist of terpene hydrocarbons. The contribution of oxygen-containing components (alcohols, ethers, aldehydes and ketones) varied in wide ranges in dependence on the content of the feeding solution. The significant part of plants ’ volatiles has no hygienic norm. Among the substances released into the air space ofpremises with volatile emissions ofplants, a significant part has not hygienic standards. Purposeful change in composition of the mixture of volatile organic compounds released by the plants, in the combination with chemical-analytical control of the content of these substances by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in terms of ecological and hygienic aspects may be useful in the development, use and determination of the optimal conditions of the implementation of environment improving phytotechnologies and evaluation of the efficacy and safety of their impact on public health.

The used methodology of the scientific substantiation of indicators is in the establishment of the conformity of laws of vital activity of indicator and pathogenic microorganisms in the real conditions of the action of the complex of factors, including disinfecting agents. In the one water sample simultaneously there were determined both the general indicator (GICB), thermotolerant (TTCB), glucose positive (GPCB) coliform bacteria, E.coli. On the base of long-term research in the various regions of the Russian Federation, as well with bearing in mind the analysis of domestic and foreign data, comparing the water quality and the incidence of intestinal infections in population it is recommended to use the index of determination of the total number glucose positive coliform bacteria (GPCB), which brings together a much broader range of bacteria of the Enterobacteriaceae family in comparison with total coliform bacteria (TCB) and thermotolerant coliform bacteria (TTCB) and warrants the absence in the test volume of water as an indicator lactose positive (E.coli, TCB, TTCB) and pathogens (salmonella) and potentially pathogenic bacteria which do not ferment lactose. Proposed index of GPCB is shown to allow to assess epidemiological risks not only more accurate, but also more efficiently without increasing the cost performance of bacteriological research.

Authors: Agbenyegah Albert Tchey , Motlhale Kelehile Joseph
Published: November 2019

The construction industry across emerging countries are exposed to high risk volumes and uncertainties. The industry requires efficient management systems not only to render the industry sustainable but to enable the industry to become viable. This phenomenon is common occurrence in rural areas across most emerging countries which are in dire need of infrastructure repairs and building employee skills. This study identifies integration challenges as one of the high risk factors (HRFs) of the construction industry. In addition, practical suggestions were stated based on empirical findings. The nature of risks as revealed by the survey represents series of challenges that confronts informal contractors during the integration processes. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs). A total of 134 informal contractors were approached for empirical data. Being qualitative and exploratory study, the interview processes and FGDs were in two sections; four informal contractors took part in face-to-face interviews. One hundred and thirty (N=130) informal contractors consisting of thirteen groups of 10 members each group participated in FGDs. Responses from interviews revealed multitudes of empirical outcomes which pointed to the complex nature of integration challenges that impede on the processes of integration. Drawing on the findings, practical recommendations were made ranging from tailored-made education and training initiatives and adequate funding models to reduce some of the integration challenges.

Published: November 2019

This article is derived from the research entitled “Recovery of good pedagogical practices in the Yarumito Rural Educational Institution (REI), from an educational ethnographic perspective,” and it examines good pedagogical practices that occur within this educational institution. To the effect, an analysis was carried out of the information contained in the field diary, observations, and interviews with teachers, school administrators, and students, as well as the content of some videos regarding pedagogical practices. The most outstanding results are the following: 1) teachers must validate good pedagogical practices to overcome challenges in these post-industrial times; 2) in the face of the secularization of the school, product of the new mentality of postmodern educational subjects, it is necessary that teachers and school administrators are not indifferent to the reality of the context and to student necessities; 3) the desired school must be built based on the daily practices of educational subjects, on micro-agreements, and on structures of reception and hospitality
La representación de la mujer en las novelas libertinas del Siglo XVIII francés: una aproximación al pensamiento ilustrado
Authors: Varela Sarmiento Eugenia
Published: November 2019

The role of women in libertine fiction of the Age of Enlightenment in France is relevant from multiple perspectives. From a view on the nature of the female body to the image of a woman who reads and writes, the aesthetic philosophy of the eighteenth century shows an interest in how to represent women. It could be said that libertine novels open an accurate horizon to answer this question since their design combines image and text, which provides two efficient perspectives when it comes to learning more about enlightened femininity, considering the latter concept from the perspective of the image and the era in which it takes place. This paper aims to show, based on images of female representation in libertine novels, how the female body is conceived and what its contribution is to enlightened thinking. Finally, it seeks to identify the female protagonists of a way of thinking directed towards the knowledge of the world based on experience and contact with nature itself

Authors: Davies Rebecca , Murphy Kenneth , Sethi Faisil
Published: November 2019

Background: The use of sensory-based treatment developed in paediatric and neurodevelopment care is a relatively new practice in psychiatric intensive care and acute mental health settings. This report briefly reviews the literature on the use of sensory rooms in psychiatric
intensive care units and acute mental health settings, and outlines the development of a sensory room in a female psychiatric intensive care unit.
 Method: We provide an account of the process of establishing a sensory room in a psychiatric intensive care unit setting, including
considerations, protocol, training and feedback. The literature on sensory room use in psychiatric intensive care and acute mental health settings was reviewed using the PubMed database and Google Scholar for 'grey' literature.
 Results: Widespread positive patient and staff
perspectives on sensory room use in psychiatric settings were identified in the literature. Some studies have identified links between sensory-based care and reduced rates of restrictive practice. Feedback from patients using the sensory room established in the report revealed themes of patients
enjoying and valuing the practice, and highlighted the need for patient-centred choice in its provision.
 Conclusions: This report outlines the development of a sensory room in a female psychiatric intensive care unit and briefly reviews the literature on such, considering
its efficacy in both patient experience and possible developments in reducing more restrictive practices in care in this clinical setting. It provides a basis for further evaluation and research on sensory room interventions and their effectiveness in improving clinical outcomes.

Published: November 2019

A história da cidade de Americana, inspirada na obra de pesquisadores consagrados da região de Campinas, como Jolumá Brito e Celso Maria de Mello Pupo, é atrelada à Fazenda Salto Grande. A partir do plantio de cana-de-açúcar e, posteriormente, café e algodão, teria se dado a povoação da região entre os rios Atibaia e Jaguari, consolidando-se no final do século XVIII. Algumas questões, contudo, foram analisadas com profundidade, atentando-se para a construção de uma genealogia dos donos de terras na região, bem como das datas e demarcações geográficas. Neste sentido, a busca de fontes historiográficas permitiram abordar novas possibilidades sobre a história da cidade, como novos nomes e novas datas. Este estudo se propôs a seguir o percurso da construção da história da cidade, retomando documentos e buscando publicizar uma nova perspectiva para essa narrativa, embasando-se em uma pesquisa rigorosa feita pelos Historiadores Independentes de Carioba.
Patrimônio, geografia e paisagem

Published: November 2019

O artigo apresenta uma discussão sobre o processo de valoração de paisagens que fundamentem a ativação de patrimônios culturais, materiais e imateriais chancelados pela UNESCO na Amazônia, relacionando-os aos patrimônios subalternos analisados pela perspectiva dialética, buscando dar visibilidade aos patrimônios locais não reconhecidos pela lógica hegemônica global. A pesquisa tem um caráter qualitativo, bibliográfico e os resultados demonstraram que os patrimônios amazônicos inscritos na dinâmica de produção do espaço e paisagens, não são reconhecidos pelos órgãos da patrimonialização mundial, mas devem ser o fundamento das políticas de patrimonialização, pois não se resumem a ideia dominante de serem feitos de pedra e cal.
A cidade e as escolas

Published: November 2019

Este artigo tem o objetivo de analisar a construção das escolas Corrêa de Mello e Ferreira Penteado na década de 1880, através do diálogo desses edifícios com a malha urbana de Campinas. Além de prédios escolares, esses colégios se tornaram monumentos para a memória  daqueles que detinham o poder político e econômico na cidade. Ambos os edifícios eram dedicados à educação popular e inseriam-se em Campinas como estratégia para marcar os espaços entre os grupos menos abastados e os mandatários da cidade, levando sua memória para o futuro. Como fontes, são utilizadas fotografias das escolas, plantas arquitetônicas, o mapa da cidade, jornais e almanaques do período. A análise é realizada a partir das lentes da nova história cultural, compreendendo a arquitetura como produtora e produzida do/pelo urbano, sendo os edifícios escolares possuidores de sentidos próprios que se ligam à memória e à cidade.

O presente texto aborda a exposição “Don’t follow the wind”, montada dentro da zona de exclusão do desastre nuclear de Fukushima, a partir de um diálogo com os conceitos warburguianos de “brisa imaginária” e de “sobrevivência”. O tema dos ventos é o promotor da co-incidência entre o trabalho em Fukushima e a teoria warburguiana, aqui conduzida pelo historiador de arte francês Georges Didi-Huberman. A hipótese trazida é a de que as obras da exposição carregam consigo um duplo emanar: por um lado, estão saturadas da radiação que as têm trespassado por anos; por outro, transportam a herança imagética das obras de arte numa cultura pós-nuclear - em que o perigo de um fim último sempre nos ronda.

The Position of Justice Collaborator to Reveal Corruption in Financial Management of Regional Government
Authors: Rosyida Nurma , Permana Artha Kadek Deddy , Yudhantaka Lintang
Published: November 2019

Regional autonomy that Indonesia government has implemented gives an authority to the regional government to manage their governmental affairs, including those related to their local financial management. This authority, however, is not well organized. Recently, corruption is increasingly found in local financial management, and it involves many parties within. To overcome such issue, the law enforcers may consider justice collaborator to define who the real culprit is, and thus, it needs particular criteria that refer to corruptors in the financial management of regional government. Therefore, this paper aims to analyze the key actor of corruption in the financial management of the regional government to determine justice collaborator. Using statute, conceptual, and case approaches, it finds that to determine the justice collaborator, it should identify the culprit. The criteria of corruptor in the financial management of regional government involve having a high position and dominant (influential) roles in making the crime happen, and may stop or continue the crime.

The Financial Services Authority only regulates information technology-based money lending and borrowing services that have not yet regulated sharia-based information technology financing services (fintech Syariah). This is evidenced by the provision of loan interest rates in the Financial Services Authority Regulation. This is contrary to sharia principles. The existence of Fintech Syariah is only based on DSN-MUI Fatwa Number 117/DSN-MUI/II/2018 which expressly states that information technology-based financing services are permitted with conditions that must be by sharia principles so that they cannot promise usury, gharar, maysir, tadlis, and dharar. Contracts that frame the legal relationship between the organizer, the financing provider and the recipient of financing, among others, the contract of wakalah bil ujrah, mudharabah, musyarakah, ijarah, and murabahah

Published: November 2019

Islamic financial institutions had face problems and barriers such as the problem of delayed financing settlement (for any reason), where it is not possible to impose any interest due to the delay or the cessation of settlement which practiced in conventional banks due to riba’ prohibited (haram) in Shariah principles. This situation is more detrimental when some customers who purposely delay payment of their debts or purposely refuse to pay due to the absence of rules concerning penalty for late payment in Islamic banks. As a result, the Islamic banks had fail to achieve their targeted profits when the problem of debt payment occurs, the Islamic banks have to bear all the losses and finally face difficulties in achieving sustainability and lose out in their efforts to compete with the conventional banks which accept time-based interest for every default late payments of debts. This study aims to discuss the permissibility of late payment charges by way of ta’widh and gharamah from the Shariah perspective and to find the applicable law in Malaysia. Besides, the implementation of ta’widh and gharamah can be described as in the resolutions of the Shariah Advisory Council of Bank Negara Malaysia (SAC). Further, it will elaborate on how related this late payment charges with the concepts of Shariah, Maqasid of Shariah and Maslahah according to judgement of the fundamentals of the Islamic Jurispendence. Lastly, it will also discuss on how the imposition of ta’widh and gharamah is different from riba for deferred debts in Islamic financial institutions.
The Replacement of Criminal Fine in Criminal Taxation

Published: November 2019

The absence of provisions regulating the substitution of criminal fines in the KUP Law, raises legal uncertainty for law enforcement officials, especially prosecutors in executing court decisions. Considering the recovery of state financial losses that can be resolved by the consistency of court decisions, so the provisions in the KUP Law must meet the legal principles in criminal fines in criminal taxation acts. By not clearly stipulated the substitution of criminal fines in the KUP Law raises legal uncertainty. While substituting criminal fines in the KUP Law is only in the form of imprisonment. In practice, there are several forms of court rulings, there are substituting criminal fines with imprisonment, substituting criminal fines with confiscation of assets then auctioned to pay underpayment taxes, substituting criminal fines with confiscation of assets then auctioned to pay underpayment taxes if the convicted person does not have property that is adequate then replaced with imprisonment. The formulation of the legal issues in this study are: (1) the philosophy of substituting criminal fines in criminal acts in the taxation field, (2) Characteristics of substitution of criminal fines in criminal acts in the taxation field. The results of this study are expected to have a conceptual and legal reforms related to substituting criminal fines in criminal acts in the taxation field, so as to ensure legal certainty, justice and benefit, then the replacement of criminal substitute fines in criminal acts in the taxation field must be included in court decisions and followed up with execution of court decision by the Prosecutor as the executor.

During the cylindrical traverse grinding of a slender workpiece, the ground workpiece is easily bent by the normal grinding force owing to its low stiffness. Therefore, it is difficult to finish the slender workpiece with high accuracy. To prevent the elastic deformation of a workpiece during the grinding process, a steady rest is generally used. However, considerable skill of the worker is required to use a steady rest. Therefore, we developed a new traverse grinding method without any steady rest. In this method, the elastic deformation of a workpiece was kept constant by controlling the traverse speed of the workpiece. At the middle of the ground workpiece, where the elastic deformation increased easily, the traverse speed was slowed down. However, this method had a longer grinding cycle time because the average traverse speed decreased compared to that of the conventional method. To shorten the cycle time, the peripheral speed of the grinding wheel was increased to decrease the normal grinding force. Basic grinding experiments were carried out under several grinding conditions by changing the peripheral speed of the wheel. From these grinding experiments, it was confirmed that the normal grinding force and the form error of the ground workpiece decreased as the peripheral wheel speed increased. By using results obtained from basic experiments, grinding experiments involving changes in the traverse speed were carried out at two peripheral wheel speeds. The grinding cycle time was reduced successfully by increasing the peripheral wheel speed without an increment in the form error of the ground workpiece. Furthermore, a form error was observed at the end of the workpiece where the grinding wheel traveled away from the workpiece. The form error occurred because the normal grinding force decreased rapidly when the contact length between the workpiece and the wheel was decreased at the end of the workpiece. To prevent rapid changes in the normal grinding force, the traverse speed of the workpiece was increased at the end of the workpiece. By using this method, a ground workpiece with high form accuracy was obtained.
Ridge-Texturing for Wettability Modification by Using Angled Fine Particle Peening

Published: November 2019

The industrial demand for wettability control has been increasing because wettability is a key factor for achieving novel anti-contaminant surfaces and related products. In this paper, the potential of angled fine particle peening (angled-FPP) was explored as a method of surface modification to control wettability. Angled-FPP, which is an abrasive jet machining process conducted using a peening nozzle set at an angle inclined to the material surface, is a potential texturing technique. With it, it is possible to create periodically aligned peaks and valleys (“ridges”) on the peened surface. Because control of wettability could possibly be achieved by varying the geometric characteristics of the texture, an attempt was made to vary ridge texture by conducting angled-FPP using three kinds of shot particles: steel, glass, and alumina grit. Thereafter, changes in the wettability owing to creation of a ridge texture on the surfaces were evaluated, with focus on the geometric and morphological features of the ridge texture. The results indicate that the size of the ridges depends on the size and shape of the shot particles, and the angled-FPP conducted using finer angular particles created densely concentrated ridges. The superficial appearance of the ridge texture differed depending on the shot particles used for angled-FPP. The topographies created by angled-FPP using steel particles and alumina grit were “hierarchical” (i.e., the ridge structure was overlapped by finer-scale roughness). In contrast, angled-FPP conducted using glass particles created ridge structure with a quite plain surface. Measurement of the water drop contact angle revealed that the surface became less hydrophilic after creation of the hierarchical topography. It was concluded that the predominant influence on the wettability of the angled-FPP surfaces came from the superficial morphology of the ridge texture.
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP): History, Politics, and Public Health Implications
Authors: Nestle Marion
Published: November 2019

This commentary introduces a special section of AJPH on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the US government’s largest antihunger program and third-largest antipoverty program. SNAP demonstrably lifts adults, children, and families out of poverty, thereby constituting a vital component of this nation’s public health safety net.

Despite its well-documented benefits, SNAP is under political and budgetary siege, mainly from congressional representatives and lobbying groups opposed to a federal role in welfare. In part, SNAP is protected from total annihilation by its unusual authorizing legislation—the Farm Bill.

This commentary provides a brief overview of the political history of SNAP and its Farm Bill location as background to the deeper analyses provided in this series of articles.
Management and Outcomes of In-Season Anterior Shoulder Instability in Athletes
Authors: Lemme Nicholas J. , Kuczmarski Alexander S. , Goodman Avi D. , Ready Lauren V. , Dickens Jonathan F. , Owens Brett D.
Published: November 2019

» Anterior shoulder dislocation is a common problem in athletes and has serious implications due to the rate of injury recurrence and the resulting extended time out of play.

» There are a variety of management options that address shoulder instability in an in-season athlete, and the decision-making approach should be individualized to the athlete.

» Although nonoperative management and return to play in the same season may be a suitable option for a subset of athletes who wish to return to play as soon as possible (during a recruiting season, for an upcoming Combine, or if they are in the last season of their career), given the high risk of recurrence, we recommend that immediate surgical intervention should be considered to decrease the risk of further damage to the glenohumeral joint.

» Arthroscopic stabilization currently is the most commonly performed intervention for athletes with anterior shoulder instability in the United States, but open repair remains an excellent option for high-risk patients.

» In collision athletes with subcritical glenoid bone loss between 13.5% and 25%, early open anterior capsulolabral reconstruction or a Latarjet procedure is recommended. If glenoid bone loss exceeds 25%, the Latarjet or another glenoid osseous augmentation procedure should be performed to reduce the risk of recurrent anterior instability.
Intramedullary Nailing of Lower-Extremity Periarticular Fractures

Published: November 2019

Intramedullary nailing is used to stabilize distal femoral, proximal tibial, and distal tibial periarticular fractures with short proximal or distal segments, as well as some intra-articular fractures in which a stable articular block can be created. Intramedullary nailing may be beneficial in complex fracture patterns with diaphyseal extension, segmental injuries, or patients who might benefit from a decreased incision burden. Step 1: Preoperative planning. Review imaging and make sure there is a nail with adequate interlocks. Consider the use of adjunctive techniques to obtain and maintain alignment, and how intra-articular fracture lines will be stabilized. Step 2: Position and prepare the patient. Step 3: Exposure for nailing via suprapatellar, infrapatellar, or knee arthrotomy approaches. Limited exposure of fracture planes may also be necessary for adjunctive techniques. Step 4: Convert an OTA/AO C-type fracture to an A-type fracture if needed. Step 5: Obtain appropriate starting point and trajectory with the nail starting wire and use the opening reamer. Step 6: Obtain reduction, if not yet done, and pass the ball-tipped reaming wire across the fracture. Step 7: Ream while holding reduction. Step 8: Pass nail. Step 9: Verify reduction is maintained and correct if needed. Step 10: Place interlocks, preferably multiplanar, in the short segment. Create a fixed angle construct if desired and convert adjunctive techniques/provisional fixation to definitive fixation as needed. Step 11: Perform final checks. Step 12: Closure. Step 13: Postoperative plan. For extra-articular fractures, one may expect healing with maintained alignment from what was present at the case end intraoperatively in the vast majority of cases. For intra-articular fractures, development of posttraumatic arthritis is an additional concern.

Published: November 2019

La tercera novela de la pentalogía con que Manuel Scorza relata los levantamientos indígenas peruanos tiene como protagonista a Raymundo Herrera. Su insomnio y el afán de mantener viva la queja hacen de él una autoridad desconcertante. Él representa la memoria de su comunidad, simbolizada en su participación en episodios históricos desde el siglo XVIII. Durante su desvelo contempla el abuso sin descanso; ello hace que arrastre a su comunidad hacia la recuperación de sus tierras. La queja es el reclamo por ese despojo. No lucha solo: otros líderes, excluidos de la historia oficial, lo acompañan en una cabalgata que aspira a devolverle la tierra a la comunidad y, con ella, su tiempo y su historia, inscrita en el paisaje.

Authors: Pacheco Quispe Jhonny Jhoset
Published: November 2019

En el presente artículo se aborda el análisis de una epístola poética que corresponde a las Cartas a Antonio,de César Moro. Así, se describe la categoría del «discurso del Amo», el cual funciona como mecanismo poético deíndole amoroso en el que participan dos actuantes, el Amo y el Esclavo, además de delinear las consecuencias de este procedimiento. Para realizar ello, utilizamos el marco teórico psicoanalítico de Jacques Lacan vertido en sus Seminarios. Y la herramienta de trabajo textual que usamos es la hermenéutica.

BackgroundA large number of students at a school located in Guangzhou city developed a sudden onset of symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting. In order to control the outbreak, an epidemiological investigation was conducted to determine the causative agent, sources, role of transmission and risk factors of the infections.MethodsThe study population consisted of probable cases and confirmed cases. An active search was conducted for cases among all students, teachers and other staff members. A case control study was carried out using online standardised questionnaires. Data were obtained regarding demographic characteristics, gastrointestinal symptoms, personal hygiene habits, history of contact with a person with diarrhea and/or vomiting and dining place in the past 3 days. Rectal swabs or stool specimens of the cases, food handlers and environmental smear swab samples were collected to detect potential intestinal viruses and bacteria. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals were calculated.ResultsA total of 157 individuals fit the definition of a probable case, including 46 with laboratory-confirmed norovirus infection between March 8 and March 22, 2018. The proportion of the students who had eaten delivery food three days before the onset of disease in the case group was 2.69 times that in the control group (95%CI: 1.88-3.85). Intake of take-out food three days before, exposure to similar cases 72 hours before onset and case in the same dormitory were risk factors. A total of 20 rectal swab samples from students, 10 rectal swabs from food handlers and 2 environmental swab samples of out-campus restaurant were tested positive for norovirus (GⅡ, genogroup Ⅱ strain ).ConclusionsThe outbreak of norovirus infectious diarrhea was determined. Food handling practices carries potential risk of acute gastroenteritis outbreaks due to a lack of surveillance and supervision. More attention should be paid to the monitoring and supervision of food handlers to reduce the incidence of norovirus-related acute gastroenteritis associated with delivery food.

Background: Drugs are commonly used in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) to treat an underlying cause, or its numerous complications and comorbidities. The objective of this study was to examine the quality of prescribing in patients with CKD in Australian general practice from February 01, 2016 and June 01, 2016, using validated indicators. Methods: We evaluated Australian general practice data obtained from the NPS MedicineWise MedicineInsight dataset for patients with CKD and aged 18 years or older. We used 16 internationally validated prescribing quality indicators focused on medication need, choice and safety in patients with CKD, and we compared results for patients using clinical and sociodemographic factors. Results: Among 44,259 patients with evidence of CKD stages 3-5, 13,263 (30%) had documentation of a diagnosis of diabetes. Less than half of all patients (40.8%) with CKD stages 3-5 and aged 50 to 65 years were prescribed a statin. The use of an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) was higher in patients with concomitant diabetes (64.1%) compared with those without diabetes (51.5%; P<0.001), yet only 69.9% of the patients with diabetes and microalbuminuria were receiving an ACEI or ARB. There were 7,426 patients (16.8%) with CKD stages 3-5 potentially receiving non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including 14.3% of those patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) below 30 mL/min/1.73 m2. Potentially inappropriate medication use was more common in CKD patients living in relatively disadvantaged socioeconomic areas, as well as in regional and remote areas. Conclusions: We identified areas for possible improvement in the prescribing of preventive medications, as well as deprescribing of potentially nephrotoxic medication, in patients with CKD stages 3-5. Australian programs working to improve quality use of medication need to focus on improving the appropriate prescribing of recommended preventive medications in patients with CKD, such as an ACEI/ARB and statin, and deprescribing of NSAIDs in patients with concurrent ACEI/ARB therapy.

Background As global populations age, governments have come to rely heavily on family carers (FCs) to care for older adults and reduce the demands made of formal health and social care systems. Under increasing pressure, sustainability of FC’s unpaid care work has become a pressing issue. This paper explores FCs’ care-related work goals, and describes how those goals do, or do not, link to technology. Methods We employed a sequential mixed-method approach using focus groups followed by an online survey about FCs’ goals. We held 10 focus groups and recruited 25 FCs through a mix of convenience and snowball sampling strategies. Carer organizations helped us recruit 599 FCs from across Canada to complete an online survey. Participants’ responses to an open-ended question in the survey were included in our qualitative analysis. An inductive approach was employed using qualitative thematic content analysis methods to examine and interpret the resulting data. We used NVIVO 12 software for data analysis. Results We identified two care quality improvement goals of FCs providing care to older adults: enhancing and safeguarding their caregiving capacity. To enhance their capacity to care, FCs sought: 1) foreknowledge about their care recipients’ changing condition, and 2) improved navigation of existing support systems. To safeguard their own wellbeing, and so to preserve their capacity to care, FCs sought to develop coping strategies as well as opportunities for mentorship and socialization. Conclusions We conclude that a paradigm shift is needed to reframe caregiving from a current deficit frame focused on failures and limitations (burden of care) towards a more empowering frame (sustainability and resiliency). The fact that FCs are seeking strategies to enhance and safeguard their capacities to provide care means they are approaching their unpaid care work from the perspective of resilience. Their goals and technology suggestions imply a shift from understanding care as a source of ‘burden’ towards a more ‘resilient’ and ‘sustainable’ model of caregiving. Our case study findings show that technology can assist in fostering this resiliency but that it may well be limited to the role of an intermediary that connects FCs to information, supports and peers.

Background: Global countries are suffering from a shortage of health professionals. Turnover intention is closely related to job satisfaction and burnout, making good use of these relationships could alleviate the crisis. Our research aims to examine the mediating role of job satisfaction in the relationship between burnout and turnover intention. Methods: This research was conducted in Huangpi, China. The convenience sampling method and self-administereded questionnaires were used. 1370 of valid samples were collected with 97.72% effective rate. Descriptive analyses were conducted to describe social demographic factors. The structural equation model (SEM) was performed to adjust model fitting, and the mediation effect test was carried out by using the bootstrap method. Sobel-Z test was used to verify the significance of mediation effect. Results: The mean age was 36.98 (SD=9.84). The fitting indices of hypothetical model are not good. After the adjustments, χ2/df =5.590, GFI=0.932, AGFI=0.901, CFI=0.977, NFI=0.973, IFI=0.977, TLI=0.970, RESEA=0.058. The revised model fitted well, and the SEM was put up by using the bootstrap method. The mediating effect is partial, and Soble-Z test indicates that the mediation effect is significant. Burnout is negatively correlated with job satisfaction (p<0.01) and the standardized path coefficient is -0.41. Job satisfaction is also negatively correlated with turnover intention (p<0.01) and the standardized path coefficient is -0.18. Burnout is positively correlated with turnover intention (p<0.01) and the standardized path coefficient is 0.83. Conclusions: Job satisfaction is a mediating variable that affects the relationship between burnout and turnover intention. The mediating effect was a partial mediating effect and has a low impact of 7.4%. Improving treatment and giving more promotion opportunities for workers to improve job satisfaction, conducting career planning course and paying attention to employee psychological health to reduce job burnout. The above measures may be helpful to reduce employee turnover rate and alleviating the current situation of a shortage of health personnel in China.
