STEM Education in the New Zealand Setting: A Case-Study of STEM in a Year 7/8 Classroom
Authors: Hall Tanithe
Published: April 2023

This article explains a case study undertaken for the purposes of answering the research questions: What does STEM education look like in a Year 7/8 New Zealand classroom? How do Year 7/8 students engage in the interdisciplinary approach of STEM education? Do/how do students value STEM learning in contrast to individual subject learning? This case study focused on a STEM unit of work with data collected through pre- and post-unit surveys, observations and student journals. Findings illustrate that students find STEM learning an engaging and interesting avenue for developing a deeper understanding when their learning is situated within a context they can connect with. The case study discussed in this article provides a rich example of STEM teaching and learning that will, hopefully, be informative for other teachers and researchers interested in exploring the integration of STEM education in the New Zealand setting.

Характерные черты отношений России с киргизскими племенами в конце XVIII–первой половине XIX века
Authors:   Kirgisko-Rosyjski Uniwersytet Słowiański, Яншин Вадим П.
Published: April 2023

The author of the article describes Russian relations with the Kyrgyz tribes from the late eighteenth to mid-nineteenth century. The main objective of Kyrgyz legations sent at that time to Russia was to acquire certain material goods. In relations with neighbouring powers the elders of the Kyrgyz tribes were guided by several principles. Firstly, they wanted to maintain the position of the only ruler in their tribes and clans. Secondly, to this end, the elders shifted between neighbouring powers (Russia, China and the Khanate of Kokand). Thirdly, the Kyrgyz ensured that no one interfered in their relations with the Kazakhs, with whom they shared common confession (Islam). Up until 1840s Russian politics towards the Kyrgyz tribes essentially focused on protection of merchant caravans which passed through Kirgiz lands on their way to East Turkestan. In later time Russia sought to create from the Kyrgyz territory a buffer zone between itself, China and the Khanate of Kokand.

Abstract Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effect of major depressive disorder (MDD) as a risk factor for suicidal ideation in individuals whose ages varied from 11 to 24 years and who were attending educational institutions. Data source: A systematic review was carried out by searching in PubMed and Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS). Original studies conducted in educational institutions, including individuals whose age varied from 11 to 24 years, in English, Spanish, or Portuguese were included. Data synthesis: Eight studies were selected for the meta-analysis, including 35,443 youths, with an average age of 16.8 years, predominantly female (51.2%), and from middle-income Asian countries (91.6%). An odds ratio of MDD of 3.89 (95%CI 2.46–6.17) for suicide ideation in youth was found. Subgroup analysis showed higher effects in Asia (OR=4.71; 95%CI 3.22–6.89) than Americas (OR=1.71; 95%CI 1.44–2.03). The meta-regression model indicated that younger adolescents (coef=-0.63; 95%CI 1.09–-0.18; p<0.01) and older studies (coef=-0.23; 95%CI 0.039–-0.08; p<0.01) presented higher effects of MDD on suicidal ideation. Conclusions: Early detection and treatment of MDD in youth patients are of utmost importance for preventing suicidal ideation. Educational institutions could play an important role in the early detection and intervention.

Background and objectives: COVID-19 is a life-threatening disease. Recognizing the main characteristics of the disease and its main complications will help future interventions, care, and management of health services since territorial and population diversities directly influence health outcomes. Our main objective is to describe the clinical characteristics, outcomes, and factors associated with mortality of patients with COVID-19 admitted to the intensive care unit of a public and tertiary hospital. Methods: Cohort study, conducted from March 1 to September 30, 2020. Poisson regression was performed to investigate the variables of hospital treatment as potential risk factors for in-hospital mortality. Results: Of the 283 eligible patients in this study, the hospital mortality rate was of 41.7% (n=118). The most common outcomes were acute respiratory distress syndrome, nosocomial infection, and septic shock. Factors independently associated with increased risk of death were age greater than 51 years old (RR=1.7, 95%CI=1.0-2.8), especially over 70 years old (RR=2.9, 95%CI=1.7-2.8), current smoker (RR=1.8, 95%CI=1.1-2.9), requiring the use of inotrope (RR=1.4, 95%CI=1.0-2.0), and presenting potassium greater than 5.0 mEq/l on admission (RR=1.3, 95%CI=1.0-1.7).

Çeliğin galvanizlenmesi, çelik yüzeyini korozyondan korumak için uzun yıllardır uygulanan önemli bir endüstriyel işlemdir. Çinko-nikel alaşım kaplama, diğer çinko alaşım kaplama teknolojilerine kıyasla daha iyi mekanik özelliklere, daha yüksek korozyon direncine sahip olduğundan birçok endüstride yaygın olarak tercih edilmektedir. Ağır metal kaplama endüstrisi proseslerinde kullanılan çeşitli kimyasallar ve hammaddeler sonucunda bu endüstriden kaynaklanan atıksular ciddi bir çevre sorunu yaratmaktadır. Bu sebeple ağır metal kaplama endüstrisinden kaynaklanan atıksularda çevre üzerinde toksik etkiye sahip olduğu bilinen kirleticiler deşarj limitleriyle sınırlandırılmıştır. Atıksularda ağır metallerin kontrolüne yönelik artan talep, daha etkili ve daha ekonomik arıtma yöntemlerinin araştırılmasına yol açmıştır. Bu çalışmada, Bursa Nilüfer Organize Sanayi Bölgesi içerisinde faaliyet gösteren tesise ait, çinko-nikel kaplama atıksularının Diplexin Zn-07 koagülantı ile arıtılabilirliği incelenmiştir. Yapılan çalışmalar sonucunda atıksuyun pH’ı %48’lik NaOH ile 8,51 değerine getirildiğinde, 0,14 mL Diplexin Zn-07 koagülantının dozlanmasıyla %98,65 çinko giderme verimi, %99,33 nikel giderme verimi elde edilmiştir. 1 m3 atıksuyun arıtılması için kullanılan kimyasalların maliyeti 1,83 Euro olarak hesaplanmıştır.

Published: April 2023

The presented protocol describes the analysis of fragments of the SARS-CoV-2 S-gene by the Sanger sequencing. Although whole-genome sequencing is the best method for identifying variants, this tool is not available for all laboratories. In addition Sanger sequencing retains its relevance in the face of increasing morbidity, a large number of samples, or a lack of reagents. For analysis, we selected sequence fragments where mutations of various VOC and VOI variants are most common. Depending on the task, different pairs of primers can be used.

“The Best Thing Was to Realize that I Am Not a Nobody. I Am Meaningful.” Students’ Perceptions of a Strengths-Based Approach to Guidance
Authors: Katajisto Marjo , Uusiautti Satu , Hyvärinen Sanna
Published: April 2023

This article reports findings from a study among 9th-graders who participated in a strengths-based intervention in two West-Finnish comprehensive schools. The intervention pursued to develop the students’ psychological capital (PsyCap), awareness of their strengths, and experiences of student guidance. The following research question was set for this study: How do students perceive the change in themselves during a strengths-based intervention? This research used the phenomenographic approach. The students were chosen from the original group of students participating in the intervention so that those who showed highest increase in PowerZone during the initial and end measures of the intervention were invited to interviews. Altogether six girls and four boys were interviewed personally. The results showed how strengths boosted students’ optimism evincing changes in perceptions of one’s own strengths; changes in attitudes toward schoolwork; and changes in attitudes toward the future. This research contributed to the discussion a very important viewpoint, namely that of the young people themselves. Their experiences should be at the core and considered carefully when developing new methods and tools for student guidance and counseling.

Micro- and nanoparticles of β-Ga2O3 are synthesized as a result of chemical reaction of an aqueous solution of gallium nitrate and various alkalis: ammonia, sodium, potassium, and lithium hydroxides. It is shown that particles morphology depends on the type and concentration of alkali. The use of microwave treatment of ammonia containing solutions made it possible to change the shape of particles from ellipsoidal to parallelepiped while maintaining their size. In contrast to the synthesis with ammonia, for other alkalis dispersed particles were obtained only at a ratio of alkali to gallium nitrate equal to 3, and these particles did not belong to the gallium oxide β-phase.
Smart Steps Towards Sustainable Transportation: Profitability of Electric Road System
Authors: COBAN Hasan Huseyin
Published: April 2023

The global average temperature has increased by about 1°C compared to pre-industrial times and the temperature increase continues. The effects of climate change are already affecting living conditions on Earth. Through the Paris Agreement, the countries of the world have committed to limit global warming to below 2°C compared to pre-industrial times and to make efforts to keep the increase below 1.5°C. The transportation sector accounts for about 15% of Turkey's greenhouse gas emissions, and more than three-quarters come from diesel fuel. Already in ten years, transport emissions must be reduced by 70% according to the national targets. It is about both reducing emissions by 2030 but also ensuring that we are completely emission-free by 2050. The vast majority of emissions in the transport sector come from road traffic. Electric vehicles have emerged as the most promising solution to energy and environmental security concerns. However, a major constraint for electric vehicles has been the limited range and fast charging capacity. Various electric road technologies have great potential to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduce air pollution, and reduce noise in urban areas. This article proposes to discuss the inductive and conductive charging system and required system configuration in the concept of electric roads for electric buses. The model solution algorithm is designed and it is validated on the E-bus route R40 in Kayseri City, Turkey. It is found that if an electric road system is used instead of a diesel bus for a bus line route of 35.5 km, it will amortize itself in 10 years.

Bu çalışma, Vietnam Savaşı’nın dönüm noktası olan Kuzey Vietnam Ordusu ve Viet Kong’un 1968’de gerçekleştirdiği Tet Saldırısı’nın askeri bir mağlubiyete rağmen politik zafere nasıl ulaştığını analiz etmektedir. Genelde savaş, özelde ise gerilla mücadelesi, politik hedefler içeren şiddet olayları sürecidir. Bu anlamda silahlı mücadelenin önemli hedeflerden biri, irade üstünlüğünün, en az kayıp ile hasma kabul ettirilmesidir. Psikoloji ise, bu meydan okumanın en önemli değişkenleri arasındadır. Nitekim savaşta en büyük başarı, zararı en alt düzeyde tutarak hasmın mücadele azmini ve direncini kırmaktır. Bu bağlamda gerilla savaşı, gayri nizami harp yöntemlerini içeren bir yıpratma savaşı olarak, psikolojik unsurları da açığa çıkaran bir araştırma alanıdır. Bu çalışma, 1968’de gerçekleştirilen Tet Saldırısı örneği üzerinden gerilla savaşının stratejik yapısını açıklamayı hedeflemektedir. Literatürde Vietnam Savaşı’nın dönüm noktası olduğuna yönelik bir fikir birliği bulunan Tet Saldırısı, askeri başarısızlığın politik anlamda başarıya nasıl ulaşabileceğini anlamak açısından önemlidir. Viet Kong gerillalarının hasımlarından yedi kat daha fazla zayiat verdiği bu saldırı, hasımlarını Vietnam Savaşı hakkında bir umutsuzluğa sürüklemiştir. Çalışmanın tarihsel sınırlılığı 1967-1975 tarihleri arasındadır. Çalışma, Türkçe literatüre, gerilla savaşı konusunu Tet Saldırısı üzerinden inceleyerek katkı sunmayı hedeflemektedir. Bu analiz, savaşın psikolojik unsuru gibi soyut boyutlarının yarattığı etki ile kapasite açısından savaşın belirleyici unsurlarından birisi olabileceğini de göstermektedir.

Ancak “deniz güvenliği” kavramına yönelik farklı bakış açıları, kavramın tek bir tanımının olmamasına dolayısıyla söz konusu güvenliği tehdit eden unsurların da farklı anılmasına yol açmaktadır. Deniz güvenliğini tehdit eden unsurlar üzerinde küresel ölçekte bir uzlaşının sağlanamaması, hem deniz güvenliği konusunda küresel ortaklık zemini oluşmasını engellemekte hem de bu tehditlerle mücadelenin zayıflamasına neden olmaktadır. Deniz güvenliğini tehdit eden en güçlü ortak tehdit unsurlarının belirlenmesi, bu tehditlerle mücadelede ortak hareket edilmesi açısından önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı; deniz güvenliği kavramının tanımlanmasında kapsamlı bir analiz gerçekleştirmek ve 21. yüzyılda deniz güvenliğini tehdit eden en güçlü unsurları belirlemektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda 21. yüzyıl deniz güvenliği tehditleri; akademik çalışmalar, devletler ve uluslararası örgütler tarafından yayınlanan strateji belgeleri, askerî dokümanlar ve raporlar kapsamında belirlenmiştir. Daha sonra AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) Yöntemi aracılığıyla bu tehditlerin önem dereceleri tespit edilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda 21. yüzyılda deniz güvenliğini tehdit eden en önemli ilk üç unsur sırasıyla; 0,3169 önem derecesiyle ile İklim Değişikliği, 0,2104 önem derecesiyle Deniz Kirliliği ve Çevre Sorunları ve 0,1783 önem derecesiyle Devletlerarasındaki Deniz Sınırı Anlaşmazlıkları olarak tespit edilmiştir.

Evidence for extensile crack initiation in point source time-dependent moment tensor solutions
Authors: Baker Calum , Young R. Paul
Published: April 2023

A time-dependent moment tensor inversion technique is applied to 20 seismic events recorded ahead of an advancing tunnel excavation at the Underground Research Laboratory (URL) in Canada. The data are recorded on a 16-sensor triaxial accelerometer array, and the events are chosen from a section of the tunnel such that the event-sensor paths are unaffected by the presence of the tunnel. Factorization of the moment tensor rate functions for each event and subsequent decomposition of the subevents into isotropic and deviatoric components indicate that the events are of three types. The first group shows implosional/shear failure source mechanisms. These are associated with the observed collapse of excavation holes drilled at the side of the tunnel and provide confidence that the method is producing realistic results. The second group of events occurs in the region ahead of the face and show tensile/shear failure mechanisms. These are interpreted in terms of crack initiation ahead of the face and may explain why the tunnel undergoes notching and failure in the floor and roof when the modeled stresses are below the measured rock strength. The third group of events shows predominant shear failure throughout their rupture history. These are interpreted in terms of failure on pre-existing crack surfaces. This study highlights the value of using source mechanism studies of associated seismicity to understand the processes that may be taking place in environments where the stress field is complex both spatially and temporally.
Periodic seismicity near Mt. Ogden on the Alaska-British Columbia border: A case for hydrologically triggered earthquakes?
Authors: Wolf Lorraine W. , Rowe Charlotte A. , Horner Robert B.
Published: April 2023

An unusual series of seismic events has been observed routinely on networks operated by the Geological Survey of Canada in Sidney, British Columbia, and the Alaska Earthquake Information Center, Fairbanks, Alaska. Events are concentrated in a cluster near Mt. Ogden, about 50 km southeast of Juneau, and have a seasonal cycle of recurrence. A study of earthquake activity indicates that the annual cycle has two pulses, one beginning in May and increasing into June and July, and the second beginning in late August and increasing into October. Events are largely absent during winter months. In the 17-year period between 1975 and 1991, a cumulative total of 164 events with ML ∼ 3 has occurred in the month of October, contrasted with none in March or April.

Epicenters for the events appear to lie near the Speel River, a northeast-southwest-oriented stream that drains glaciated areas of Mt. Ogden. Although the regional tectonic setting holds many candidates for seismic sources, including an active transform plate margin and recent volcanic activity, the periodic behavior of the cluster is not easily reconciled with these phenomena. In addition, the frequency of occurrence and magnitudes of the events are not consistent with patterns of glacier-generated seismicity. Examination of recent seismic activity yields a b-value of 1.0.

Statistical comparisons of earthquake activity near Mt. Ogden with cycles of seasonal phenomena support a hydrologically related causal mechanism. These apparent correlations raise the possibility that the earthquakes are triggered either by transient changes in pore pressures due to the influx of meteoric water within faulted rock near Mt. Ogden or by increased pore pressures due to surface loading of glaciated areas.
A comparison of regional-phase amplitude ratio measurement techniques
Authors: Rodgers Arthur J. , Lay Thorne , Walter William R. , Mayeda Kevin M.
Published: April 2023

We compare several procedures for measuring regional-phase amplitude ratios commonly used in discrimination studies. Amplitude measurements are made on both raw velocity-proportional broadband seismograms and instrument-deconvolved displacement seismograms in the time and frequency domains. Pn/Lg and Pg/Lg ratios are measured on vertical-component waveforms for regional earthquakes observed at the Global Seismic Network (GSN) station ABKT (Alibek, Turkmenistan). Time-domain amplitude measurements are made on narrow-band filtered wave-forms using signal energy measures given by the absolute mean, rms, and envelope mean, and peak measures given by the absolute maximum and envelope maximum. Frequency-domain measurements are made by computing the log10-mean amplitude within a narrow band from the broadband spectrum of each windowed phase.

Time-domain amplitude ratios for raw velocity and instrument-deconvolved displacement seismograms are very similar (linear correlations ≧0.97), indicating that the instrument response does not affect the time-domain amplitude ratio measurements for the broadband GSN data at the frequencies studied (0.75 to 9.0 Hz). Time-domain amplitude ratios made using the energy or peak measures are well correlated among themselves (linear correlations ≧0.97). However, the energy and peak measures are slightly less well correlated with each other (linear correlations between 0.87 and 0.99). For the time-domain measures, the correlations generally degrade, and the scatter increases for the higher-frequency bands. Time- and frequency-domain measurements are well correlated for the lowest-frequency band (0.75 to 1.5 Hz). However, as the frequency band increases, the correlations decrease and the slopes deviate from 1.0. Time-domain amplitude ratios (for both Pn/Lg and Pg/Lg) are consistently larger than the frequency-domain amplitude ratios. Investigation of the frequency spectra of broadband and narrow-band filtered phases revealed that significant energy from outside the passband, particularly from lower frequencies, possibly biases the time-domain measurements. Log averaging the spectral amplitudes in a given passband before forming the amplitude ratios does not bias the measurements to the low end of passband. Better agreement between time- and frequency-domain measurements is found when linear averaging of the spectrum is used. These observations suggest that with care, time- and frequency-domain measures can be made to agree. We suggest that log-averaged frequency measures look promising for discriminant measures because (1) frequency-domain measurements offer complete control of the frequencies that contribute to the measurement, and (2) log averaging of the spectra does not overweigh spectral amplitudes associated with lower frequencies within the passband. However, because we consider only earthquake data, we cannot evaluate the discrimination performance of the various measurement techniques.
Bringing Families to the Bedside

Published: April 2023

Family involvement with hospitalized patients is a necessary and beneficial component to impact the patient experience while improving patient outcomes, reducing readmission rates, and increasing patient safety. There are numerous barriers preventing families from being present at the hospital bedside that require modern day solutions. Using the following PICO question is a useful strategy to identify published evidence that may improve these issues: In adult hospitalized patients (P), does utilizing technology to communicate with families in real time bedside rounds (I) compared to no family presence (C) improve patient experience quality metrics (O)? An extensive critically appraised literature review showed multiple benefits of involving families in healthcare and improving the experience of patients. This project used a phone and iPad with various collaborative technology platforms to connect families to the bedside during beside rounds by way of audio calls and video chats with an aim to improve physician and nursing communication, explanations regarding medications, and discharge instructions Press Ganey scores. Out of 200 participants, 54% preferred to use technology as a substitution to in-person real time rounds. Press Ganey scores improved in 3 out of the 4 measured categories while also showing an absence of negative patient comments regarding untimely or a lack of patient status updates from healthcare providers. The study further identified high quality and efficient technological platforms. Using technology to virtually bring families to the hospital bedside during multidisciplinary bedside rounds is a valuable and feasible strategy.
Disparities in Cervical Cancer in Black Women
Authors:   , Williams Kristin , Cornelius Frances Haider
Published: April 2023

Background- Black women are two times more likely to die from cervical cancer than White women, despite Black women having higher cervical screening rates than White women. One of the factors contributing to the racial disparity in cervical cancer mortality has been Black women's decreased likelihood to adhere to medical recommendations for follow-up after an abnormal Pap smear. Over the past decade, there has been attention placed on clinical provider implicit bias as a contributing factor to racial disparities that exist within healthcare. Though implicit bias has been recognized as a barrier to adherence to medical recommendations, there have been no studies to date that have explored patient perceived experiences of provider bias as a possible factor in adherence to follow-up recommendations after an abnormal Pap smear for Black women. Methods- A cross-sectional study design was used to determine a significant predictive relationship between perceived discrimination and intention to follow-up after an abnormal Pap smear among black women in comparison to other races. Seven predictors of discrimination along with intention to follow-up after an abnormal Pap smear were measured via survey. Results- 250 subjects were surveyed to capture their experiences of patient-perceived discrimination and their intention to follow-up after an abnormal Pap smear result. Black women did not indicate a significant relationship between patient perceived discrimination and intention to follow-up after an abnormal Pap smear when compared to other races. Conclusion- Despite results, Black women still continue to experience a disparity in cervical cancer outcomes, with literature supporting a decrease in follow-up after an abnormal Pap smear. Additional studies should be conducted to explore the role that patient perceived discrimination plays in patient follow-up after an abnormal Pap smear result.
Estimate If Double Wedge System Prevented Sacral Pressure Injuries in Critically Ill Patients
Authors:   , Fiori Michelle , Eastwood Abigail Jane
Published: April 2023

Hospital-acquired pressure injuries are a significant concern for microsystems. Critically ill patients are at higher risk of developing sacral pressure injuries due to immobility, treatment modalities, poor nutritional status, and disease processes. Turning and repositioning patients are interventions proven to prevent sacral pressure injuries. A double wedge repositioning system has been implemented in the MICU to aid in the prevention of sacral pressure injuries. The aim of this quality improvement project is to estimate if double wedge system prevented sacral pressure injuries in critically ill patients. A closed chart review was completed on charts identified as developing unit-acquired pressure injuries pre implementation of the double wedge system for November 2019 and January 2020 and was compared to charts identified post implementation in November 2020 and January 2021. Five sacral pressure injuries occurred in the microsystem for November 2019 and January 2020. The chart review identified admission Braden Scale scores, pressure injury present on admission, stage of acquired pressure injury and documentation of double wedge utilization. Following implementation of the double wedge system, zero pressure injuries occurred November 2020 and January 2021 suggesting the double wedges are an effective intervention. However, lack of documentation of double wedge use presents the need for further evaluation. Utilization of the double wedge system is encouraged. Updating the organization's policy requiring documentation of device utilized for repositioning is suggested in order to identify effective versus ineffective interventions.

Specimen Mislabeling Quality Improvement Project
Authors:   , Ekimoglou Matthew , Poyss Alicemarie R.
Published: April 2023

Upon completing a microsystem assessment of the Emergency Department at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania a trend of mislabeled lab specimens was discovered. There were a total of 14 mislabeled specimens in fiscal year 2020 and 4 mislabeled specimens as of January fiscal year 2021. Specimen labeling errors put patients at risk for transfusion-related death, medication errors, misdiagnosis, and patient mismanagement. A quality improvement project was initiated to determine if proposed changes would decrease the amount of mislabeled lab specimens by 50% in the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania's Emergency Room by May 2021. Proposed changes included posting of signage and reminders, shift huddles, and signing of an accountability form. Data was collected by pulling reports from the safety event reporting system from fiscal year 2020 and comparing it to data post implementation of the proposed changes, specifically looking to compare it to data for February and April of 2021. Data collection revealed 1 lab-mislabeling error in February 2021 and 2 errors in April 2021. There was a 25% reduction in lab-mislabeling errors when analyzing the data. The 3 errors that occurred in the Emergency Room post implementation cost the institution around $1,500. Signage, huddles, and the accountability forms do not remove human error from the lab labeling process. Research suggests that the use of barcode scanning for lab specimens is the real fix for the issue at hand. As the gateway to care in the hospital, the Emergency Department presents an added level of danger for mislabeling errors. Keywords: Specimen, mislabeling, errors, lab, Emergency Department

Abstract What Leadership Style Do Executives Practice in Healthcare Environment? M. H. Malak, W. Lorman, A. Rundio, M. G. Simion, & D. Simion Objectives The objective of this research was twofold. 1) To identify which leadership style is predominantly being practiced in magnet and non-magnet hospitals among C-level executives such as Chief Nursing Officers (CNOs) and 2) To determine if the servant leadership style was more suitable in the healthcare environments than transformational leadership style? Participants There were ten (n = 10) voluntary participants recruited from various acute care hospitals in the Tri-state area (New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania). Forty percent (n = 4) participants worked in a magnet hospital; whereas, sixty percent (n = 6) participants worked in a non-magnet setting. All of the participants were C-level executives i.e., Chief Nursing Officers (CNO) or Chief Nursing Executives (CNE). Method A qualitative study design was utilized for this research. A leadership research tool was developed for this study. The data collection procedure consisted of pre-interview questionnaires an interview with each participant. The interview was conducted using a combination of direct and open-ended questions. The data were analyzed using a thematic approach. Results Fifty percent (n = 5) participants believed that they practiced servant leadership style and the remaining fifty percent (n = 5) believed that they practiced transformational leadership style; however, post-interview, it was determined that forty percent (n = 4) practiced transformational, while thirty percent (n = 3) practiced servant leadership, twenty percent (n = 2) practiced situational leadership, and ten percent (n = 1) practiced visionary leadership style. Thirty percent (n = 3) participants believed that the servant; whereas, seventy percent (n = 7) believed that the transformational leadership style was "most beneficial" for magnet hospitals. On the other hand, sixty percent (n = 6) of participants believed that the servant and forty percent (n = 4) believed that the transformational leadership style was "most beneficial" for non-magnet hospitals. Furthermore, eighty percent (n = 8) participants believed that the servant leadership style was best for any healthcare organization. Conclusions In conclusion, this research finding demonstrated that transformational, servant, and situational leadership styles were predominantly being practiced among the participants. Also, the best-suited leadership styles for magnet hospital is transformational and servant for non-magnet hospitals.
The Sais Inscription. Translation and Commentary
Authors: Apenko Mikhail
Published: April 2023

The article presents a Russian translation of an important epigraphic evidence of the Hellenistic Egypt, the so-called Sais Inscription. The Sais Inscription was compiled in the Late Middle Egyptian language during the reign of Ptolemy II Philadelphus (285—246 BCE) in late 260s but was later transported to Rome. Only three fragments of an inscription exist to this date: A). Codex Ursinianus, fol. 6 ro — redrawing of a part of the inscription made in 16th century, B). a fragment of a stela at the National Archaeological Museum of Naples (No. 1034) and C). a large fragment of a stela at the Musée du Louvre (No C 123). The available fragments make it possible to reconstruct the first eleven columns of the text which was probably longer. These fragments allowed Chr. Thiers to publish the reconstructed inscription in 2001. The present publication is largely based on this reconstruction and aims to clarify some disputed passages of the text and to provide its new commentary. It is necessary to note the importance of the text for the researchers of Hellenistic Egypt. It provides the information on the nature and the peculiarities of interaction between Ptolemy II Philadelphus and the Egyptian elite. The text describes the gathering of its members at Sais organized by the king in order to bring the statue of Arsinoe II to Sais. According to a number of researchers, this might be an early case or a prototype of a synod, a special gathering of the Egyptian priesthood intended to discuss and to decide important issues in the development of the Ptolemaic dynastic cult.

This study measures the economic impact of hotels and similar establishments on the overall economy of the Hungarian Veszprém District. It is considered to be an individual part of the total hospitality sector. The Local Multiplier is utilized in the study from three perspectives: direct, indirect and induced effects. Both secondary public data as well as primary data sources, merely questionnaires, were used to collect data. The resulting score for the induced impact (LM3) is 1.96, meaning that for every forint brought into the economy of the district of Veszprem by the hotels and similar establishments, another extra forint is generated. The study also finds that revenues of the Veszprem district as share of the national figures have shrunk significantly and development has stagnated in absolute terms over the past four years.
The Modelwise Interpolation Property of Semantic Logics
Authors: Gyenis Zalán , Molnár Zalán , Öztürk Övge
Published: April 2023

In this paper we introduce the modelwise interpolation property of a logic that states that whenever \(\models\phi\to\psi\) holds for two formulas \(\phi\) and \(\psi\), then for every model \(\mathfrak{M}\) there is an interpolant formula \(\chi\) formulated in the intersection of the vocabularies of \(\phi\) and \(\psi\), such that \(\mathfrak{M}\models\phi\to\chi\) and \(\mathfrak{M}\models\chi\to\psi\), that is, the interpolant formula in Craig interpolation may vary from model to model. We compare the modelwise interpolation property with the standard Craig interpolation and with the local interpolation property by discussing examples, most notably the finite variable fragments of first order logic, and difference logic. As an application we connect the modelwise interpolation property with the local Beth definability, and we prove that the modelwise interpolation property of an algebraizable logic can be characterized by a weak form of the superamalgamation property of the class of algebras corresponding to the models of the logic.

Arguedas y la hermenéutica del mundo de la vida en Los ríos profundos
Authors: Mosquera-Schwenninger Nani
Published: April 2023

Quisiera empezar esta ponencia preguntádome: ¿a qué se debe que la obra de Arguedas hermane hombres y mujeres, sin tener en cuenta su nacionalidad? Analizando su obra, nos preguntamos cómo un autor, que podría parecer tan circunscrito al ámbito nacional, ha sido tan universal. Arguedas mismo se definió una vez como «un provinciano de este mundo». Cornejo Polar habla de la universalidad de Arguedas1 , en tanto que toma partido por los que no tienen voz y les da la voz, creando un nuevo lenguaje que expresa el alma india. Es esta búsqueda de la justicia la que iguala a los marginados y oprimidos del mundo.
Los ríos profundos y la representación de proyectos raciales
Authors: Chalupa Federico Abel
Published: April 2023

Mi ángulo de lectura está basado en dos teorías críticas raciales. Trabajo la conexión entre raza e imaginario nacional a partir de la teoría de la etnicidad ficticia de Etienne Balibar, en especial su propuesta central de que «toda comunidad social reproducida por el funcionamiento de instituciones es imaginaria» (2002, p. 221) .
Bailar la máquina : historia e imagen dialéctica en El zorro de arriba y el zorro de abajo
Authors: Hibbett Alexandra
Published: April 2023

Hay un pasaje de Los zorros donde Arguedas abre la historia . Lo hace a través de crear una imagen dialéctica en la figura de don Diego bailando frente a las ocho máquinas de la fábrica de don Ángel, en el tercer capítulo de la novela. Lo que resulta de esta imagen es una propuesta radicalmente moderna, y con esto quiero decir, desmitologizante, opuesta y contraria al mito entendido como un intento de cerrar el curso del tiempo a una homogeneidad sobre la cual basar una identidad y un futuro fijos. La imagen dialéctica presente en el capítulo tres de Los zorros interrumpe y suspende tanto al mito de la modernidad occidental (esto es, el mito del progreso) como lo andino entendido como una categoría mítica, abriendo la historia a significados y porvenires radicalmente nuevos.
Sumak Kawsay : la poética del movimiento y de la vida en José María Arguedas
Authors: Mamani Macedo Mauro
Published: April 2023

El territorio verbal de la obra de Arguedas es irrigado por múltiples ríos1 divinizados o humanizados. Ellos atraviesan el terreno plural de su narrativa, poesía y ensayo. La potencia de su voz es simbólica porque alcanza distancias y profundidades. Así, puede ahondar en el corazón del wakcha y de la piedra o puede extenderse como un manto sonoro sobre los pueblos, convocándolos para el movimiento. Todo ello demuestra su poder significativo. El río, en su obra, se configura como símbolo cultural, río textual que ha sido absorbido del río real de la naturaleza, con todo el espesor de sus significados. Por ello, los ríos son representados con distintas magnitudes en sus diversas funciones como ríos poderosos y vivos dentro de la naturaleza viva: Sumak Kawsay2 .

Authors: Esparza Cecilia
Published: April 2023

Las recientes celebraciones por el centenario del nacimiento de José María Arguedas confirman su vigencia como héroe cultural del Perú. Estudiosos de la obra y la biografía de Arguedas coinciden en identificar al escritor con las metáforas con las que representamos a la nación. Esta es la imagen oficial de Arguedas, creada a partir de sus propias declaraciones y la interpretación de su obra y su vida por la crítica desde la década de los setenta.
Memoria, mito y símbolo en la narrativa arguediana : aportes de los narradores transculturados
Authors: Huamán Carlos
Published: April 2023

La obra de Arguedas, que se inicia con la experiencia literaria indigenista y termina con una ampliada visión de las culturas en el Perú y la diversidad de sus personajes, forma parte de una propuesta neoindigenista o andina, conocida en el ámbito internacional como «transculturada» (véase, por ejemplo, Rama, 2004; Pacheco, 1992). En tal sentido, son varias las preguntas que emergen como impulsoras de respuestas posibles al tema propuesto en este trabajo: teniendo en cuenta «la dinámica de los encuentros culturales», ¿cuál fue la postura de Arguedas en su dialogo con otros escritores latinoamericanos que, como él, buscaban recuperar la memoria de los pueblos, su lengua y cultura? ¿Cuáles fueron los rasgos literarios fundamentales que hicieron que la obra de Arguedas tenga relación con otras a nivel internacional? Para abordar el tema propuesto considero necesario referirme a la memoria, al mito y al símbolo como recursos unificadores de escritores que, como Arguedas, hacían de puente entre lo rural y lo urbano, entre lo oral y lo escrito.
