Authors: Aswar Aswar , Usman Mukran H. , Iskandar Azwar
Published: December 2020

This study aims to find the therapeutic strategies to the gay victims. The phenomenon of the rising of the gay community is increasingly worrying, of course that behavior is abnormal for Indonesians, especially for Muslims. This community actually began to grow in 1982 in Solo, 1985 in Yogyakarta, 1993 in Pekanbaru, 1999 in Surabaya, and still exists in cyberspace (social media). The research method applied is a qualitative approach with the type of composed hermeneutics research analysis, with the object study of therapeutic thought of Ibn Qayyim al-Jauziyah and the examined subject in the RSC-M Malang (Ruqyah Syar'iyyah Center Malang). The study found four therapeutic strategies that can be applied to the gay victims. First, the main focus of intervention is in mind/belief intervention. Second, the target towards an ideal person is the transfer from a sinful person to a person who obeys God's commandments and avoids His prohibition. Third, analysis and diagnosis is efforts to identify and find the errors in the chain of perception, belief, sex drive, behavior, and habit of the gay victims. Fourth, the application of homosexual victim alleviation techniques consists of prevention and healing pathways, prevention pathways is in the form of 'self-training' subjecting themselves to the same things, while healing pathways is in the form of the application of intervention techniques of the mind, self-conversion and statements of repentance and istigfar, as well as the worship therapy. The recommendations of this study is to be applied by practitioners and counsellors in providing counselling services to the gay victims.

Introducción. Dentro de las infecciones bacterianas que afectan al ser humano, la infección de las vías urinarias es una de las más frecuentes, afectando hasta 150 millones de personas en el mundo cada año. El uso indiscriminado de antibióticos y su manejo inadecuado han generado un aumento en la resistencia antimicrobiana. El objetivo del presente estudio es describir patrones fenotípicos de resistencia antimicrobiana de los microorganismos más frecuentes en pacientes con diagnóstico de infección de vías urinarias en centro de referencia de Bucaramanga. Metodología. Estudio de corte transversal, muestreo no probabilístico en pacientes con sospecha o diagnóstico de infecciones de vías urinarias que requirieron manejo intrahospitalario en una institución de salud de alta complejidad durante julio del 2017 y abril del 2018, de quienes se obtuvo urocultivo y antibiograma. Resultados. De 120 pacientes incluidos, se obtuvo un reporte de 116 urocultivos. El microorganismo más frecuente fue Escherichia coli, seguido de Klebsiella pneumoniae. El primero presentó alta sensibilidad a carbapenémicos y aminoglucósidos, baja sensibilidad a la Ceftriaxona y a la Ampicilina/Sulbactam. Por otro lado, el microorganismo Klebsiella pneumoniae presentó alta sensibilidad a carbapenémicos, pero resistencia elevada a la Ampicilina/Sulbactam y a la Ceftriaxona. El antibiótico empírico más utilizado fue la Ceftriaxona. Discusión. La distribución de microorganismos aislados es comparable con la ya descrita a nivel nacional e internacional. Los perfiles de resistencia antimicrobiana tienen puntos comunes como la resistencia a los betalactámicos, pero difieren en algunos aspectos, como la resistencia a cefalosporinas y quinolonas. Conclusiones. Los microorganismos aislados presentan altas tasas de resistencia a los betalactámicos y a las cefalosporinas, las cuales son ampliamente utilizadas. Esta información debe orientar el desarrollo de protocolos que permitan optimizar la toma de decisiones clínicas con respecto a la terapia antibiótica.

Published: December 2020

Prospective elementary teachers (PET) are required to have sufficient mathematical and didactic knowledge about fractions, but many of them have difficulties explaining various concepts of fractions to students. Given the importance of prospective teachersâ€™ knowledge of fractions, this study aims to investigate further the didactic knowledge of PETsâ€™ didactic knowledge of fractions. Their knowledge is seen from their ability to construct contextual tasks about fractions based on number sense, problem-solving, mathematical literacy, and problem posing. PETsâ€™ didactical knowledge is analyzed based on the anthropological theory of the didactic. This research method is qualitative with an internet-based research approach. The subjects of this study consist of 38 PsETs from a teacher education institution in Pekanbaru, Riau, Indonesia. The results of this study indicate that PsETsâ€™ didactic knowledge of fractions is inappropriate, especially in the aspect of constructing contextual tasks about the division of fractions by fractions. PsETs tend to present the type of task associated with simple fraction operations and techniques in the form of standard algorithms. This study also indicates that PsETsâ€™ theoretical knowledge is still limited to informal knowledge to support standard algorithms.
For Organizational Communication that Promotes the Sharing of Tacit Knowledge
Authors: Oliveira Márcio José Sol Pereira
Published: December 2020

Objectives - focusing the study's focus on sharing tacit knowledge in non-profit organizations (NPOs) in Portugal and taking as a case study the Portuguese volunteer firefighters (FBs), we listed as objectives ascertaining the main communicational barriers to tacit knowledge sharing and identify action strategies to be implemented by these organizations, with a view to promoting this communication.

Design / methodology / approach - A literature review on the barriers to sharing tacit knowledge, namely in its communicational dimension, was followed by a qualitative study, carried out with 8 Portuguese volunteer fire brigades, which allowed an analysis of the prevalence of these barriers and the determination of the main measures to be implemented, with a view to combating them.

Conclusions - It was possible to conclude which are the most prevalent communication barriers in these organizations and what measures to be implemented with a view to combating these barriers and promoting the sharing of tacit knowledge by increasing more effective communication.

Research limitations - This research focuses exclusively on the sharing of tacit knowledge, not considering other forms of knowledge. As this is a case study, although with very heterogeneous organizations, it cannot be replicated for different realities.

Originality / value - Studies in this area, aimed at the NPOs are scarce, as opposed to what happens in the private and public sectors. The case study option of organizations such as the Portuguese FBs, unique in their action and identity, accompanies the need, increasingly recognized by society, in enabling these organizations of competences for the best possible performance, in the face of the tragic events that have occurred in recent years in Portugal.
Study on the Oil Pipeline Design of R Oil Field
Authors: Liu Qing
Published: December 2020

It’s a compressive article consists of three parts, an overview of pipeline development in China, oil pipeline design for R oilfield and pipeline management suggestions. First, this article introduces the current status of pipeline construction, oil pipeline technology and gas pipeline technology in China in recent years. The current status of China’s pipeline construction is divided into three stages. In terms of construction, pipeline construction is developing in the direction of intelligence and modernization. Long-distance oil pipelines require technical breakthroughs in two aspects. One is the sequential oil product delivery technology to improve the type of oil that can be delivered sequentially; the second is the viscosity reduction delivery technology for heavy oil. Gas transmission pipelines are developing in the direction of high pressure, large diameter and high steel grade. Secondly, based on all the pipeline development above, in order to meet the development of R oil field, an oil-water two-phase pipeline transportation design and a pipeline crossing river design were carried out. Under the condition of the design pressure of the pipeline of 5.5MPa, it is preferable to produce a pipeline of φ219×6.5mm, and the steel grade of the pipeline is L360. A heating station and pumping station are needed in the transportation process, and the heating station and pumping station are combined for one construction. Considering that the strata of the river crossing section are mainly gravel sand layer, clay layer and non-lithological stratum, horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is adopted for river crossing, and suggestions are made for the construction process. Finally, after the pipeline was put into production, the corresponding auxiliary production system and supporting engineering suggestions were put forward.

Ahmed b. Muhammed el-Harrâd’a (d. 1948-?) Göre Kıraat Farklılıklarının Manaya Etkileri
Authors: KÜTÜKOĞLU Ahmet
Published: December 2020

Bu çalışmada Kur’an kıraatlerinin manaya ve Kur’an i‘câzına etkisi üzerinde durulmuştur. Manaya etkisi olmayan kıraat farklılıkları çalışmanın dışında tutulmuştur. Konuyu önemli kılan husus, kıraatlerin, anlam ve Kur’an i‘câzına etkisinin yeni bir inceleme alanı olması ve bu alanla ilgili çalışmaların azlığıdır. Çalışmanın en belirgin yönü, kıraat farkına bağlı anlam çeşitliliğini ortaya koyması ve bu vesileyle kıraat farkının insanlarda oluşturduğu tasvir gücüne işaret etmesidir.
Kıraatlerin manalarda ortaya çıkardığı anlam değişikliklerinin zihinde çağrıştırdığı tasvirler Kur’an üslubu açısından önemlidir. Kur’an’ın hedefi insanları doğru yola ulaştırmak olduğuna göre kıraatlerin dinleyenlerde oluşturduğu tesire bu vesileyle işaret etmek, lafzı ve manasıyla birlikte mucize olan Kur’an’ın asırlar boyunca hep yeni kalmasının ardındaki etkenler arasında kıraat farklarının yerini belirtmek hedeflenmiştir.
Geçmişte Kur’an’ın fesahat ve belagatiyle ilgili pek çok çalışma yapılmıştır. Buna karşın, kıraatlerin anlam üzerindeki etkisini ve Kur’an i‘câzına katkısını dile getiren çalışmaların sınırlı sayıda olduğu bir gerçektir. Henüz yeni sayılan bu alanda çalışmalarıyla öne çıkan isimlerden biri Ahmed b. Muhammed el-Harrâd’dır. Bu makalede onun, İ‘câzü’l-Beyânî fî Dav‘i’l-Kıraati’l-Kurâniyyeti’l-Mütevâtire adlı eseri bağlamında kıraatlerin anlam üzerindeki etkisine değinmek istiyoruz.
Söz konusu çalışmasında müellif, kıraatlerin, anlam üzerindeki etkilerini ve Kur’an i‘câzına katkısını ele almıştır. Bu esere bağlı kalarak Kur’an kıraatlerinin mana tasvirlerine ve Kur’an i‘câzındaki yerine ana hatlarıyla değinilmiştir. Kıraatlerin anlam ve i‘câz yönünün incelendiği bu çalışmada yazarın belirlediği sınırlar ölçü alınmıştır.
Muhtelifu’l-Hadis İlmi Bağlamında Nezir (Adak) ile İlgili Rivayetler
Authors: ÇELİKAN Serkan
Published: December 2020

Nezir (adak) toplumda yaygın bir uygulama olmakla beraber hakkında Hz. Peygamber’in (s.a.v.) hadislerinde müspet ve menfi yönde farklı ifadeler bulunmaktadır. Buna göre bazı rivayetler adak yapmayı mübah kabul etmekte ve adağın yerine getirilmesi gerektiğini ortaya koymaktayken bazıları da adağı yasaklamakta ve herhangi bir fayda sağlamayacağını bildirmektedir. Farklı içeriklere sahip bu rivayetler, sıhhat şartlarını taşımaları bakımından, hadis usulü ilimlerinden muhtelifu’l-hadisin konusudur. Bu ilmin rivayetler arasındaki ihtilafı gidermeye matuf yöntemlerinden ilkine göre hadislerin gerçekte birbiriyle çelişip çelişmediği ortaya konulur. Rivayetler arasında herhangi bir çelişki yoksa iki tür rivayetin de uygulama konusu olduğuna karar verilir. Şayet giderilemeyecek türden bir çelişki varsa hadislerden geç döneme ait olanlarının öncekilerin hükmünü kaldırdığı sonucuna varılır. Kronoloji hakkında bilgi bulunamadığındaysa, bazı yöntemler kullanılarak daha güvenilir olduğu belirlenen hadisler tercih edilir. Burada da bir eşitlik görülürse o zaman hüküm askıya alınır. Bu çalışmada hedeflenen de adak konusuyla ilgili birbirine muhalif görünen bazı rivayetleri ele almak ve nasıl anlaşılması gerektiğini ortaya koymaktır.

"Kierrätyksen pitäisi olla helppoa!" Kotitalouksien jätteiden lajitteluun vaikuttavat tekijät
Authors: Kokkonen Henna
Published: December 2020

Jätteiden lajittelu on monille kuluttajille ja kotitalouksille yksi kodin arkipäiväisistä askareista. Samalla siihen kiinnitetään yhä laajemmin huomiota niin Suomessa, Euroopassa kuin maailmanlaajuisestikin. Käsittelen tässä tutkimuksessa kotitalouksien jätteiden lajittelua ja siihen vaikuttavia tekijöitä. Tutkimuksen aineiston keruu suoritettiin sähköisellä kyselyllä, jossa pääpaino oli avoimilla kysymyksillä. Olen tehnyt aineiston analysoinnin sisällönanalyysilla, minkä jälkeen olen teemoitellut lajitteluun vaikuttavat tekijät. Tämä on tapahtunut teoriaohjaavasti, eli olen huomioinut sekä tutkimuksen viitekehyksen että aineiston kautta esiin tulleet lajitteluun vaikuttavat tekijät. Tämän tutkimuksen tulosten perusteella tärkeimmät lajitteluun vaikuttavat tekijät ovat lajittelun helppouteen liittyvät asiat, kuten asianmukaiset astiat ja riittävät tilat kotona, sopiva matka keräyspisteelle sekä yleisten keräyspisteiden määrä. Tämän lisäksi myös tiedolla on merkitystä, sillä lajittelua pidetään usein vaikeana tiedon puutteen tai tiedon epäselvyyden vuoksi sekä puutteellisten pakkausmerkintöjen tai jätelajien tunnistettavuuden takia. Lajittelun motivaatiotekijöitä ovat puolestaan moraaliset normit ja huoli ympäristöstä. Vastaajien mukaan tietoisuus raaka-aineiden uusiokäytöstä, lajittelun ympäristöystävällisyydestä tai sekajätteen määrän vähentämisestä sai heidät lajittelemaan. Tämä tutkimus lisää tietoa siitä, millaisia esteitä ja mahdollisuuksia lajittelussa kuluttajien mukaan on. Tutkimuksen tulosten perusteella on todettava, että kierrätysastetta ei saada nousemaan tavoitetasolle ilman, että kotitalouksien ja kuluttajien näkemykset otetaan huomioon, sillä he ovat toiminnassa juuri se toteuttava taso.
Katastrofitutkimuksen käsitteistöä suomeksi ja Suomessa: kimmoisasti vaaroja kohti?
Authors: Meriläinen Eija , Nikkanen Maija , Räsänen Aleksi , Silvast Antti
Published: December 2020

Katastrofitutkimus (disaster studies) pureutuu vaaroihin, katastrofeihin ja kriiseihin. Tutkimusalue ei ole vakiintunut yhteiskuntatieteiden osaksi Suomessa, mutta sillä on annettavaa erityisesti luonnonilmiöihin kietoutuneita katastrofeja tutkittaessa. Tämä katsausartikkeli tarkastelee, millaista suomenkielistä käsitteistöä katastrofeja tutkittaessa käytetään tai voitaisiin  käyttää. Käsitteistön tarkastelu on tärkeää useasta syystä: (1) katastrofit ovat ajankohtaisia kansainvälisesti ja Suomessa, (2) aiempi kotimainen käsitteistö on osin ongelmallista luonnonilmiöihin liittyvien vaarojen yhteydessä, ja (3) käsitteistön selkeys auttaisi yhteistyötä katastrofikontekstissa, jossa aihepiirin politiikka ja tutkimus ovat kytkeytyneet toisiinsa. Artikkelissa käymme läpi avainkäsitteitä kolmelta kantilta. Ensiksi ammennamme käsitteitä kansainvälisestä katastrofitutkimuksesta. Toiseksi käymme läpi Suomen katastrofiriskien hallinnoinnin politiikkaa ja sen sanastoa. Kolmanneksi tarkastelemme suomalaista riskejä ja poikkeusoloja koskevaa tutkimusta. Keskustelussa tutkimusalueen avainkäsitteet hahmottuvat ja kirkastuvat. Haastamme esimerkiksi ”luonnononnettomuuden” käytön käsitteenä katastrofeista puhuttaessa, sekä pohdimme, kannattaako puhua ”resilienssistä” vai kantaisiko kimmoisuus oleelliset merkitykset paremmin. Vaikka painotammekin tiettyjä käsitteiden tulkintoja, emme pyri lyömään lukkoon yksittäisiä määritelmiä, sillä käsitteiden monisyisyys kuuluu tutkimukseen.

The project is to design an active solar tracking system which able to track the sunlight with the aid of light dependent resistor (LDR) as input sensor to read the intensity of sunlight. The solar tracking system uses platform as a base and it is moved by a servo motor as the platform needs to be moved towards the sunlight to get the optimum light. The solar tracking system is programmed by using microcontroller Arduino Uno as a main controller. After the setup of the hardware and program, the tracking motion of the tracking system has been implemented to track the sun based on sunlight direction. In this work, it is designed that the motion of the tracking system is depends on the value read by LDR. As a conclusion, the solar tracking system can increase the solar panels efficiency by keeping the solar panels perpendicular with sun’s position.

Apropos to numerous environmental issues highlighted globally and locally, Malaysia has now moving forward towards new agenda of greening the cities. A positive movement trend of new green building in the country can be seen as number of projects going into green rating application are increasing yearly. Nevertheless, sustainability impact is considered as significantly small since newly developed green building represent small percentage as compared to the existing non-green building. Therefore, the idea of greening the existing building through refurbishment emerged in order to achieve wider sustainability objectives. Apart from that, supported with recent evolvement of technology and digitalization in construction industry, in lieu with governments’ strategies to adopt Industry 4.0, Building Information Modelling (BIM) has also been acknowledged and used broadly as a solution to integrate and facilitate management of information throughout building lifecycles. Considering these two areas; sustainability and BIM are continuously gaining momentum these days, this paper attempts to explore BIM’s potentials as an enabler to help greening the existing non-green building. Literature review is conducted focus on reviewing BIM and sustainability present status in Malaysian construction industry, also their relationship including examining potential areas where BIM may contribute to enhance the buildings’ sustainability performances. Based on the reviews, there is a potential of bridging the two areas considering both has becoming a national construction industry agenda since the government released CITP2016-2020. To further concur the ideas, literature reviews has also proven that the ability of BIM to facilitate various functions has enable it to support several sustainability analyses such as energy, carbon emission, lighting, water, materials and waste, building and site, and costing analysis.

Unsteady simulation of tonal noise from isolated centrifugal fan
Authors: Ottersten Martin , Yao Huadong , Davidson Lars
Published: December 2020

In this study, an isolated centrifugal fan is investigated for the aerodynamic and acoustic performances usingRANS and URANS simulations. The noise is predicted by coupling the URANS and the Ffowcs Williams andHawkings acoustic analogy. The aerodynamic properties obtained from RANS and URANS are consistentwith the experimental data. The magnitudes of the tonal noise at the blade passing frequencies are wellpredicted. Recirculating flows, which are responsible for reducing the fan efficiency and increasing the noisegeneration, are observed between the shroud and the blade trailing edges. It is found that the recirculatingflows are associated with the gap between the shroud and the inlet duct.
Semantic interference through multiple distractors in picture naming in people with aphasia

When we refer to an object or concept by its name, activation of semantic and categorical information is necessary to retrieve the correct lexical representation. While in neurotypical participants it is well established that semantic context can interfere with or facilitate lexical retrieval, these effects are much less studied in people with lesions to the language network and impairment at different steps of lexical- semantic processing.Here we applied a novel picture naming paradigm, where multiple categorically related and unrelated words were presented as distractors before a to-be-named target picture. Using eye tracking we investigated preferential fixation on the cohort members vs non-members. Thereby we could test whether explicit acknowledgement of the category is mandatory to induce semantic interference. We found that in contrast to neurotypical participants (van Scherpenberg, Abdel Rahman, & Obrig, 2020), participants suffering from mild to moderate aphasia did not explicitly acknowledge the categorical relationship, but still showed a large interference effect of ~35 ms. On the contrary, preferential fixation on the categorically related cohort words correlated with higher non-verbal semantic abilities and integrity of the anterior temporal lobe (ATL). This highlights the role of supramodal semantics – putatively housed in the ATL – for explicit semantic processing while semantic interference may be largely independent thereof. Our study adds further evidence to the observation that despite the implicit, automatic nature of semantic processing, it can influence naming speed and accuracy. This may be of particular importance to understand and intervene with linguistic deficits in people with aphasia.
The impact of information structure on the emergence of differential object marking: an experimental study

Many languages exhibit differential object marking (DOM), where only certain types of grammatical objects are marked with morphological case. Traditionally, it has been claimed that DOM arises as a way to prevent ambiguity by marking objects that might otherwise be mistaken for subjects (e.g., animate objects). While some recent experimental work supports this account (Fedzechkina et al., 2012), research on language typology suggests at least one alternative hypothesis. In particular, DOM may instead arise as a way of marking objects that are atypical from the point of view of information structure. According to this account, rather than being marked to avoid ambiguity, objects are marked when they are given (already familiar in the discourse) rather than new. Here, we experimentally investigate this hypothesis using two artificial language learning experiments. We find that information structure impacts participants’ object-marking, but in an indirect way: atypical information structure leads to a change of word order, which then triggers increased object marking. Interestingly, this staged process of change is compatible with documented cases of DOM emergence (Iemmolo, 2013). We argue that this process is driven by two cognitive tendencies. First, a tendency to place discourse given information before new information, and second, a tendency to mark non-canonical word order. Taken together, our findings provide corroborating evidence for the role of information structure in the emergence of DOM systems.

Objectives. Written benefit finding is known to improve psychological and physical health in a range of patient groups. Here, we tested the efficacy of written benefit finding, delivered online during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown, on mood and physical symptoms. We also investigated perseverative thinking as a moderator of these effects. Design. A quantitative longitudinal design was employed. Main Outcome Measures. Participants (n = 91) completed self-report measures of anxiety, depression, stress and physical symptoms at baseline, and two weeks after being randomised to complete three consecutive days of writing about the positive thoughts and feelings they experienced during the pandemic (written benefit finding) or to unemotively describe the events of the previous day (control). State anxiety was measured immediately before and after writing. Perseverative thinking was measured at baseline. Results. Anxiety and depression symptoms decreased between baseline and the two week follow-up, but did not differ significantly between the two conditions. Perseverative thinking was negatively associated with changes in symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress, but did not moderate any writing effects. There was a significant reduction in state anxiety in the written benefit finding condition. Conclusions. Written benefit finding may be a useful intervention for short-term improvements in wellbeing.
Cultural influence on COVID-19 cognitions and growth speed: the role of cultural collectivism

Published: December 2020

Many challenges faced by humans require large-scale cooperation for communal benefits. We examined what motivates such cooperation in the context of social distancing and mask wearing to reduce the transmission intensity of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). We hypothesized that collectivism, a cultural variable characterizing the extent that individuals see themselves in relation to others, contributes to people’s willingness to engage in these behaviors. Consistent with preregistered predictions, across three studies (n=2864), including a U.S. nationally representative sample, people’s collectivist orientation is positively associated with intentions, positive beliefs, norm perceptions, and policy support for the preventive behaviors. In separate analyses at the country level (n=69 countries), more collectivist countries demonstrated lower growth rate in both COVID-19 confirmed cases and deaths. Together, these studies demonstrate the positive role of collectivism at the individual- and country-level in reducing COVID-19 transmission, and highlight the need to consider culture in public health policies and communications.
Occupational Inequalities in Temporal Autonomy: A Multidimensional Perspective
Authors: Ganault Jeanne
Published: December 2020

Tertiarization, diversification and intensification of work have brought about new forms of temporal autonomy, which are often reduced to having (or not having) control over one’s work hours or work schedule. As such, an abundant literature has focused on who gets temporal autonomy, without exploring exactly what that autonomy entails. This has important implications on our understanding of how temporal autonomy relates to social inequalities. This paper thus intends to shed light on the multiple dimensions of temporal autonomy and to determine whether they are linearly and hierarchically distributed among the French wage-earner population. Using data on 8086 respondents from the 2010 French Time-Use survey, three dimensions of temporal autonomy are identified: control over work time; control over time off; and autonomy in work organization. While control over work time can be read as a social gradient, control over time off is found to be industry-specific and less available to workers in education, health, personal services and manufacturing, and autonomy in work organization is more dependent on size of establishment and is gradually more prevalent as size decreases. These results contribute to better understand the extent to which social position shapes working conditions.

Background: Clindamycin is regarded as a reserve drug in the treatment of staphylococcal infections. Among few therapeutic alternatives available for treatment of erythromycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections, clindamycin has several advantages but major limitation in its use is the development of resistance resulting in treatment failure. Routine clindamycin susceptibility test may fail to detect such inducible resistance which can be detected by Double disc diffusion test (D-test). The present study was undertaken to determine the incidence of inducible clindamycin resistance among clinical isolates of S. aureus in a tertiary care hospital in central Nepal. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among the patients visiting Bharatpur Hospital from September to November 2019. A total of 1279 clinical samples were examined for the identification of S. aureus by standard microbiological procedures. Antibiotic susceptibility testing of the isolates was done by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method and all the erythromycin-resistant isolates were subjected to D-test for the phenotypic detection of inducible clindamycin resistance according to CLSI guidelines (2016). Results: S. aureus was recovered from 4.5% (58/1279) samples of which 35 isolates were Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and 23 were multi-drug resistant (MDR). Tetracycline was found to be the most effective antibiotic whereas erythromycin was the least effective. D-test revealed that 39.7% isolates showed iMLSB phenotype, 3.5% showed cMLSB phenotype and 56.8% showed MS phenotype. The percentage of inducible and constitutive resistance was seen higher amongst MRSA isolates compared to Methicillin-Sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) isolates. Incidence of S. aureus was found higher among females and in the age group 20-30 years and in pus samples (p<0.01). Conclusions: Routine testing of inducible clindamycin resistance is suggested among the clinical isolates of erythromycin-resistant Staphylococci to avoid treatment failure.

Background: General anesthesia for cesarean section is being less popular for cesarean section in present days but sometime general anesthesia is inevitable. The aim of the study is to assess the trends of general anesthesia, indications, clinical outcome in mother and fetus in high altitude setting of tertiary care center of Nepal.

Methods: We conducted descriptive cross-sectional study all cases of cesarean section in Karnali Academy of health Sciences (KAHS) located at high altitude over three years period   in our institute. Data were retrieved from the hospital records during three fiscal year (Jan 1st 2017 to Jan Dec 31st 2019). The record of all the patients who underwent cesarean section under general anesthesia was reviewed for demographic details, indication of general anesthesia, trends for general and spinal anesthesia and maternal and neonatal outcome.

Results: Out of total deliveries 2175, 309 (14.2%) cases account for cesarean section. Among them, 52 (17%) required general anesthesia . Eclampsia 19(36%) remain the major indication for General Anesthesia in cesarean section followed by failure of spinal anesthesia number 14 (26%) , cord prolapse six (12%), antepartam haemorrhage five (10%), spinal site infection four (8%), Khiphoscoliosis two(4%), Patients request  two (4%). Use for general anesthesia technique was consistent for three years with slow rise in use of spinal anesthesia . There was no any anesthesia related maternal mortality and nine intraoperative neonatal  

Conclusions:  General anesthesia practices are consistently required in rural high-altitude setup. Eclampsia is the commonest indication followed by failure of spinal anesthesia and cord prolapse. Neonatal outcome is still not good.
