Неадаптиві копінг-стратегії поведінки як предиктори прокрастинації державних службовців
Authors: Kotlyar Lyudmila
Published: December 2020

Стаття присвячена дослідженню неадаптивних копінг-стратегій поведінки як предикторів прокрастинації державних службовців, виявленню основних тенденцій. Державний службовець, як суб’єкт управління, при виконанні своїх професійних функцій, постійно працює в умовах вибору прийняття рішення для подолання негативного впливу складних ситуацій, таких, що за своїми параметрами перевищують  його компетентності та ресурсний потенціал. Професіоналізм державних службовців виявляється в здатності  переборювати труднощі при виникненні великої кількості ситуацій, що пов’язані з прийняттям рішень, які не повинні відкладатися на потім.
За умови не адаптивної копінг-стратегії поведінки, державний службовець  використовує тактику прокрастинації та сфера пошуку рішення з подолання неприємної ситуації обмежується діями, які зменшують його контакти з цим положенням, а дії з переборення неприємного стану активно скасовуються державним службовцем, як несприятливі.
Неадаптивні  копінг-стратегії  поведінки у подоланні складних ситуацій при виконанні справ і прийняття рішень є предикторами прокрастинації державних службовців в управлінської діяльності. У результаті аналізу наукових джерел визначено сутність та основні ознаки неадаптивних копінг-стратегій поведінки, які є засобами прогнозування прокрастинації державних службовців в управлінській діяльності. Зокрема у науковій статті проаналізовані  актуальні наукові  підходи до визначення термінів. Визначені найістотніші аспекти вищевказаних явищ показали, що  прокрастинація є негативне явище, яке перешкоджає суспільному розвитку і розуміється як постійне відкладання актуальних і важливих справ та прийняття рішень, що завжди повторюються всупереч усвідомленню державними службовцями негативних наслідків та неготовністю взяти на себе відповідальність.
           Репрезентоване авторське ставлення щодо визначення неадаптивних копінг-стратегіїй поведінки у подоланні складних ситуацій при виконанні справ і прийняття рішень, які є предикторами прокрастинації державних службовців в управлінській діяльності. Неадаптивними копінг-стратегіями поведінки є: фокусування на емоціях і їх вирішенні; заперечення; ментальне та поведінкове відчуження; уникнення; ігнорування; примирення; дисимуляція.
Роль та місце взаємодії органів публічної влади та інститутів громадянського суспільства в Україні
Authors: Prykhodko Igor , Dokalenko Varvara
Published: December 2020

Статтю присвячено дослідженню громадянського суспільства, що перебуває в Україні на шляху до становлення. Визначено, що значний відсоток респондентів у цілому підтримують громадські організації та вважають, що вони сприяють залученню в Україні провідного закордонного досвіду з державного реформування. Причому це прослідковується на фоні постійного зменшення рівня довіри до органів публічної влади та загалом розчарування у їх дієвості. Очевидно, що подібне ставлення громадян до органів влади є результатом зневіри у покращенні рівня життя, проведенні ефективних реформ та загалом прийнятті державно-управлінських рішень. Звертається увага на те, що результати соціологічних опитувань мають слугувати індикатором, на який влада не може не звертати уваги й, відповідно, повинна намагатись покращити ситуацію. Одним з варіантів виходу є розвиток механізмів взаємодії з інститутами громадянського суспільства.
Відмічається, що загалом, самоорганізація громадян та подальше викристалізовування інститутів громадянського суспільства володіє великим потенціалом для забезпечення економічного, соціально-політичного, культурного розвитку країни. Одним з базових елементів при цьому має бути відчуття відповідальності як окремих громадян один перед одним, так і їх об’єднань, а врешті-решт й держави перед громадянами. Доводиться, що наразі в Україні механізми взаємодії органів публічної влади з інститутами громадянського суспільства мають низку недоліків, що супроводжується проблемами у взаєморозумінні влади й суспільства. Серед недоліків на першому плані виступають недосконалість нормативно-правової бази та її недієвість, а подекуди й просто відсутність будь-якого унормування. Також відмічається вплив низького рівня правової та політичної культури громадян, а також факти протистояння між громадськими організаціями та органами влади.
LISTERIA MONOCYTOGENES IN COW’S MILK PRODUCED BY FAMILY-OWNED DAIRY FARMS
Authors: Menozzi Benedito
Published: December 2020

Refrigeration is an important milk preservation method. However, milk quality may deteriorate if the product is refrigerated for long periods, mainly due to the growth of psychrotrophic bacteria. This group of microorganisms includes pathogenic genera, most notably Listeria monocytogenes. The detection of this bacterium in food is important, given its pathogenic effects on human and animal health and also its economic relevance. This study focused on detecting the presence of L. monocytogenes in milk samples collected at small family-owned dairy farms. Samples were cultivated on PALCAM and ALOA agars for microbiological analysis and a molecular analysis by polymerase chain reaction was performed for the detection of L. monocytogenes. Despite the negative results obtained in both these analyses, further studies are recommended to confirm or refute the negligible effect of L. monocytogenes on small dairy farms.
Humanisme Bagi Sesama – Menyingkap Akar Kekerasan Dalam Relasi Antarmanusia Dan Etika Tanggung Jawab Menurut Emmanuel Levinas
Authors: Soebagiyo Editha
Published: December 2020

This article contains the most fundamental text of Emmanuel Levinas. His unique contribution is his argument that the morality is not a branch of philosophy, but first philosophy (TI 304). His starting point is the actual concrete encounter, with the “face” of the other, that underlies our sense of self and identity, and this, in turn is the beginning of Levinas’ understanding of what Philosophy is. Philosophy begins with the other and ethics is undertood as a relation of infinite responsibility to the other person. By this, he means that when we face someone, before we decide to respond others (to wish someone “great day”, to give or not to give money to a beggar), we are already put into a relationship with them. This is the reason why he calls that relationship ‘the original relation’. This unconditional responsibility is not something we take on or a rule by which we agree to be bound, it exists before us and we are ‘thrown’ into inexhaustible responsibility for them without any choice.  Although his big idea is not adequate for the solution of all our ethical problems, we find the strength of Levinas’ position in reminding us to the nature of ethical demand, which must be presupposed at the basis of all moral theories.

Jürgen Moltmann: Persahabatan Sebagai Antisipasi Kepenuhan Harapan
Authors: Denny Firmanto Antonius
Published: December 2020

Jürgen Moltmann’s theology of hope enacts the idea of hope as the foundation of friendship. Those who want to live in a friendship should be open to each other, acknowledging that misapprehension and misunderstanding are possible in a friendship journey. To achieve the value of salvation in experiencing friendship, one needs to have the courage to turn or direct his/her vision to the experience of God. God Himself has experienced that His logging to reach man and have good relationship with His people is obstructed by man’s stubbornness to refuse His love. Jesus’ passion and death is the peak of man’s refusal to God’s plan of love. Similarly, the faithful is able to open his/her heart and direct his/her vision to his/her friends only. The openness of one’s heart has the character of inviting and waiting until the right time his/her friends have the courage to open themselves in a salvaging relationship.  Until the time comes, for the faithful, the friendship with God is comforting and supporting in every failure and rejection. The task of every Christian is to facilitate and mend the relationship.  Moltmannian’s hope shows that the relationship between God, the Eschatology, and hope, is manifested in a commitment to inclusivity; the ministry to those in need, environment concern, and faithfulness to those who are poor and marginalized.

Published: December 2020

This is a short study of mental prayer according to St. Teresa of Jesus, doctor of the Church. Mental prayer according to her ‘is nothing else than an intimate sharing between friends to be alone with Him who we know loves us’. This definition is  biblical and ahead of  Dei Verbum, art.2. God is our friend. Mental Prayer has to be the soul of vocal prayer. Both are closely related as appear in the teaching of Jesus on the persistence of prayer (Lk 11:1-4,5-8,9-13).

Desafíos post COVID-19 de las políticas públicas en los modelos de innovación abierta, triple o tetra hélice en el mundo virtual y digital de la región latinoamericana
Authors: Chang López Roberto Enrique
Published: December 2020

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo reflexionar sobre las principales tendencias de modelos de innovación a nivel mundial para proponer políticas públicas post COVID-19, las cuales puedan fomentar el crecimiento económico en los países de la región latinoamericana aprovechando las tecnologías de la información y el servicio público digital. La pandemia del COVID-19 ha obligado a los gobiernos del mundo a tomar medidas de confinamiento forzado, ocasionado mayores niveles de pobreza y desigualdad social a nivel internacional. Los principales modelos de innovación en los países desarrollados consideran al gobierno como un actor estratégico para que cree las condiciones legales y tributarias que acelere las patentes y licencias, sean del sector público o del privado. En general, la academia es quien lidera el trinomio Universidad- Empresa- Gobierno. Los países de la región latinoamericana deberán evaluar si su legislación nacional está en línea con una economía basada en conocimiento o en políticas económicas previo a adoptar el modelo de triple, tetra hélice o el de innovaciones abiertas.

Objectives the terminological analysis of the identification of perineal body and associated muscles according to native and foreign literature.
Material and methods.The literature on human anatomy, topographical anatomy, operative surgery, obstetrics, gynecology, proctology as well as urology was reviewed. We analyzed articles from several peer-reviewed scientific medical journals on the topic of the perineum and pelvic organs diseases.
Results.The review of the literature indicates that most of native authors use the term "centrum tendineum perinei" despite last two international anatomical terminology revisions in 2003 and 2019. At the same time, the foreign authors use the term "perineal body" which is in line with contemporary anatomical terminology.
It was also found that the authors disagree on the terminology and morphology not only of the "centrum tendineum perinei" but also of the muscles that form it.

The work ethic of medieval Muslim Ahi brotherhood: A comparison with Catholic and Puritan work ethics
Authors: Arslan Mahmut
Published: December 2020

This paper compares and analyzes the Catholic Social Teaching, Puritan work ethic and Islamic ethic of medieval Muslim Ahi Brotherhood of Anatolia in terms of business ethics. A high level of similarity can be found between Catholic social teaching (CST) and a branch of the Islamic work ethic of Ahi movement. Islamic Ahi work ethic has also significant similarities with the historical Protestant work ethic. This similarity reveals the opportunity to cooperate and to foster a more humanitarian workplace, particularly in multi-cultural organizations both for Christians and Muslims. We can argue that many ethical problems arise in organizations as a result of a violation of ethical values and virtues. Corruption, sexual harassment, mobbing, nepotism, are direct results of the lack of such virtues. Therefore, it is possible to merge Catholic, Protestant and Islamic values to create a more humane workplace.

Authors: Thakur Rinky , Kumar Sachin , Kumar Sanjay
Published: December 2020

Background: Prescription pattern monitoring forms an important element of the Drug Utilization Study. It provides clinicians with a feedback which they can use in improving their prescribing practices and assures rational prescription of drugs. Objectives: To evaluate prescription patterns for patients seeking consultation for various types of allergic conjunctivitis. Methods: It was an observational study of six months duration from June 2019 to December 2019. Newly diagnosed allergic conjunctivitis patients visiting the Ophthalmology OPD were included. Their demographic profile, diagnosis, clinical findings and drugs prescribed were noted and analysed. Results: A total of 114 prescriptions were analysed, out of which 71 were of males (62.28%) and 43 of females (37.72%). The mean age was 11.71±8.53 years with majority under 10 years of age. Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis (SAC) was found to be the most common type (50.88%) followed by Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) (24.56%). Perennial Allergic Conjunctivitis (PAC) accounted for 10.53% while Atopic Keratoconjunctivitis (AKC), Contact allergy (CA) and Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis (GPC) together accounted for 14.03% of the total number of cases. The dual-acting antihistaminic/mast cell stabilizing drugs were most commonly prescribed (22%) with Olopatadine at the top (16.28% of the total). Artificial tear (16.86%), topical steroids (12.29%) and systemic antihistaminics (19.43%) were other commonly prescribed drugs. Conclusion: Among various types of allergic conjunctivitis, SAC was the most common followed by VKC, PAC, AKC, CA and GPC in that order. Dual acting drugs with both antihistaminic and mast cell stabilizing action were most commonly prescribed.
ODONTOGENIC KERATOCYST IN ANTERIOR MAXILLA MIMICKING RADICULAR CYST: A CASE REPORT
Authors: Salunkhe Gaurav , Patankar Sangeeta , Sridharan Gokul
Published: December 2020

Odontogenic keratocyst is a common developmental odontogenic cyst arising from the remnants of dental lamina characterized by aggressive clinical behavior, increased potential for recurrence and its occasional association with Gorlin- Goltz syndrome. The lesion primarily occurs in early adults with increased preponderance to occur in the third molar region of the mandible. On certain occasions, odontogenic keratocyst may occur in unusual sites such as the ramus, maxillary sinus and in the anterior region. The occurrence of the lesion in the maxillary anterior region especially in relation to the periapical region of the tooth may pose diagnostic difficulties owing to its similarity to a radicular cyst. The difference in the clinical behavior and prognosis of odontogenic keratocyst from that of a radicular cyst makes it mandatory to differentiate between the two lesions. This presentation reports a periapical lesion in anterior maxilla diagnosed histopathologically as odontogenic keratocyst with relevant literature review.

Authors: Shubhashini N. , R Vinaya Kumar , Kini Annapoorna , H.B. Swetha , B.S. Srikanth Choudhary , Shetty Nithin Kumar
Published: December 2020

AIM: To evaluate antimicrobial effect of diode laser when used adjunctively with sodium hypochlorite, methylene blue or toluidine blue in Enterococcus faecalis inoculated root canals.
METHODOLOGY: 70 extracted uniradicular premolars were prepared with ProTaper files and sterilized. 5 were kept aside as negative control (G1) and the remaining 65 were inoculated with Enterococcus faecalis and incubated for 7 days. Following this, 5 were kept as positive control (G2) and the other 60 were randomly distributed into six groups: G3, diode laser irradiation (1.5W) with sodium hypochlorite; G4, diode laser (3W) with sodium hypochlorite; G5, diode laser (1.5W) with methylene blue; G6, diode laser (3W) with methylene blue; G7, diode laser (1.5W) with toluidine blue; G8, diode laser (3W) with toluidine blue. Subsequently, turbidity was assessed and CFU count determined following intracanal sampling and plating.
RESULTS: G4 exhibited significantly lower mean CFUs/mL (P˂0.001) among the experimental groups. G4 demonstrated the most (98.8%) while G7 exhibited the least antibacterial effect (28.66%). Highest turbidity was observed in G5 (0.1310) while the lowest was noted in G4 (0.0287).
CONCLUSION: Diode laser used adjunctively with sodium hypochlorite exhibited superior antibacterial efficacy when compared to its use with photosensitizer dyes like methylene blue and toluidine blue.

Medical students are more vulnerable to develop nutritional anemia ( i.e. haemoglobin, iron , vit B12, folate deficiency) & vitamin D deficiency due to irregular eating habits & hectic study schedule. Anemia among this age group has significant health consequences ( e.g. poor cognition, decreased attention span , depressed immunity, repeated infections, increased fatigue etc) . So the present study was planned to ascertain the prevalence of anemia , iron , folic acid ,vit B12 & D deficiency among young adult female & male medical 1st year MBBS students of Medical College Kolkata,( batch 2019-2020) ,West Bengal,India and to suggest intervention strategies. 63 % & 37% female & male students respectively were found to be anaemic & low level of hemoglobin is significantly associated with type of family as 22% of study subject’s belonged to joint family and 78% subjects belong to nuclear family. (p=0.002) & there came out to be no significant association between socio-economic status and anemia (p=0.213) . Among these subjects with anemia 12 had iron deficiency . Serum folic acid levels were normal in the 100 study subjects . 30% students had low serum levels of vitamin B12 , and there was no gender preference (9 suffered from severe deficiency, 21 students were in low normal range) . In this study, moderate Vitamin D deficiency was found to be present in 42% subjects, mild insufficiency in 57% subjects, and adequate serum Vitamin D levels in just 1%. Periodical and routine health check-up and haemoglobin estimation of the students at the time of entrance to Medical Colleges should be done. Iron and folic acid tablets and deworming drugs in therapeutic doses should be provided to the anaemic students. Students should be motivated and educated to take balanced diet, rich in green leafy vegetables and fruits.

Trauma to the chest is considered as one of the most serious injuries of the chest and it is also a common cause of mortality and morbidity. It is also the leading cause of death from physical trauma after head and spinal cord injury. Chest trauma is the primary or a contributing factor in approximately 1/4th of all trauma related deaths. Chest trauma accounts for 20-25% of deaths due to trauma. Approximately, 16,000 deaths per year in India alone are a result of chest trauma. The study was conducted on 25 patients of blunt chest trauma admitted in a G.G. Hospital affiliated to M.P. Shah Govt. Medical College during the years 2016- 2018. Detailed clinical history was recorded including age, sex, symptoms, mode of injury, associated injuries, external bleeding and mental status. Out of 25 patients having blunt chest trauma most common age group was 31-40 years, road traffic accident being the most common mode of injury in 60%, 64% having less than 4 ribs fractured, 60% having hemothorax and 54% having pneumothorax and 60% patients were treated with intercostal tube drainage. The study revealed that road traffic accident was the most common cause of blunt chest trauma. Majority of the patients with blunt chest trauma can be managed conservatively with pain management. Few required intercostal tube drain without the need of other invasive therapy.

Published: December 2020

Chronic kidney disease is progressive forms of renal disorders associated with reduced renal function having no well known etio-pathogenesis. The conventional approach of management includes dialysis and renal transplantation, which are involving the high costs and complexity so very few patients are able to obtain adequate treatment for kidney disorders because of financial limitation. Therefore, exploration of a safe and alternative therapy is needed, which proves to be helpful in reducing the requirement of dialysis and in postponing the renal transplantation. The use of herbal drugs for the prevention and treatment of various diseases is constantly developing throughout the world. The present case is totally treated through Ayurvedic approach and it seems to be effective and safe.

The novel corona virus (COVID-19), a pandemic, spread to around 198 countries, and has affected millions of people globally. The associated morbidity and mortality challenged the nations in several ways. One such unaddressed area is the mental health impact on the healthcare workers and staff during this pandemic. The review aims at summarizing the evidence of mental health issues of COVID-19 pandemic on the frontline healthcare workers (HCW’s).
Materials and methods:
A review of the literature of the mental health issues faced by the healthcare workers during the pandemic was done. Literature search was conducted in the following databases: PubMed, Google Scholar, Embase; articles relevant to the subject, in the duration of last 8 months (Jan-2020 to Aug-2020) were reviewed. We have highlighted the most relevant data concerning the disease characteristics, personal and organizational factors that may have contributed to development of psychological changes, distress and mental health symptoms.
Results:
There is a generalized climate of wariness and uncertainty, particularly amongst the health professionals, which has been provoked by the disease characteristics of the current COVID-19 pandemic and various sociodemographic variables. Other factors included, rapid spread of disease, severity of symptoms, lack of knowledge of the disease, organizational factors and death among healthcare professionals. The mental health problems varied with respect to the sociodemographic variables like, gender, profession, age, place of work, social support and department of work. Evidence suggests that COVID-19 may be an independent risk factor for increase in stress, anxiety, burnout and depression amongst the healthcare professionals, which could have long-term psychological implications.
Conclusion:
It is of utmost importance to protect and ensure the mental health of the healthcare professionals, to address large scale health crisis. Therefore, planning of future prevention strategies is essential to promote mental well-being.

Authors: Chen Minjie , Sullivan Charles R.
Published: December 2020

Circuit models for multiphase coupled inductors are summarized, compared, and unified. Multiwinding magnetic structures are classified into parallel-coupled structures and series-coupled structures. For parallel-coupled structures used for multiphase inductors, the relationships between a) inductance matrix models, b) extended cantilever models, c) magnetic circuit models, d) multiwinding transformer models, e) gyrator-capacitor models, and f) inductance dual models are examined and discussed. These models represent identical physical relationships in the multiphase coupled inductors, but emphasize different physical aspects and offer distinct design insights. The circuit duality between the series coupled structure and the parallel coupled structure is explored. Design equations arising from these models are streamlined and summarized, and a simplified equation showing the relationships between current ripple for interleaved multiphase buck converters with and without coupling is presented. The models and design equations are verified through theoretical derivation, SPICE simulation, and experimental measurements.
Receiver Operating Characteristics of GNSS Coarse/Acquisition Signals With Short Codes
Authors: Enneking Christoph , Antreich Felix , de Almeida André
Published: December 2020

Reliable signal acquisition with low computational complexity is an important design objective for the evolution of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS).

Most GNSS signals consist of long pseudorandom noise (PRN) codes whose acquisition is expensive in terms of memory, computation time, and energy. As these resources are particularly scarce in the emerging mass-market user segment, dedicated coarse/acquisition (C/A) signals with short codes are being designed to keep the number of acquisition search bins low.

However, reducing the code length degrades the receiver operating characteristic (ROC), as multiple access interference (MAI) from other C/A signals increases the probability of false alarm.

MAI complicates the C/A signal design process considerably, because (quite different from stationary noise) it does not affect each bin of the search space in the same way.

Taking into account the cyclostationarity of C/A signals, we propose a new randomized version of the spectral separation coefficient (SSC) as a simple yet accurate interference measure, which can be used for ROC performance evaluation and optimization.

Accounting for MAI and other random degradation effects (e.g. data symbol transitions or finite search resolution), we establish a new methodology to assess the ROC for shorter and shorter PRN codes. Ultimately, our approach enables the C/A signal designer to minimize the PRN code length while ensuring a given target ROC performance.
Using Radio Wave Satellite Propagation Measurements for Rain Intensity Estimation
Authors: Adjei-Frimpong Bernard , Csurgai-Horváth László
Published: December 2020

The European Space Agency launched a communication satellite called Alphasat in 2013, with two experimental beacons to carry out a scientific experiment by measurement at frequencies of 19.7 GHz and 39.4 GHz respectively. Propagation through the atmosphere at these frequencies is affected by the resence of atmospheric gases and other particles like water vapour, rain and ice drops. Rain attenuation is the most significant parameter which degrades the performance of the links by absorbing and scattering radio waves that can be determined as the measured received signal power’s deviation from the nominal, non-attenuated level. Rainfall statistical data are also measured and recorded by the propagation terminals to provide additional information to apply prediction methods that require minutes of integration time rain intensity.
