Authors: Othman Siti Hajar , Rosli Nazirah Mohd , Nordin Norhazirah , Aziz Masturina Abdul
Published: June 2022

This study formulated the batter systems for crispy chicken burger patties using wheat flour-based batter and rice flour-based batter with the ratios of 2:2:1:1 and 2:1:2:1 (wheat flour/rice flour: corn flour: crispy flour: spicy flour). The crispy chicken burger patties were evaluated in terms of proximate compositions (moisture, ash, fat, protein, and carbohydrate contents) and sensory analysis. Crispy chicken burger patties made from rice flour-based batter with a formula ratio of 2:2:1:1 (RFBB1) were found to exhibit the lowest moisture and fat compositions but the highest protein composition. The sensory properties were evaluated using the 9-point hedonic scaling method in terms of overall acceptability, appearance, taste, crispness, juiciness, and color, which revealed that RFBB1 exhibited the best acceptability scores for all attributes. Then, the storage qualities of crispy chicken patties packed using different types of packaging materials (low-density polyethylene (LDPE), medium-density polyethylene, and high-density polyethylene) and stored at different temperatures (−18, 4, and 25 ℃) for 12 days were investigated in terms of color and texture. Regardless of the types of packaging materials and storage temperature, the hardness of crispy chicken burger patties decreased over time but crispness increased due to the reduction in moisture content. In terms of hardness and crispness, the RFBB1 was best packed in LDPE packaging material and stored at either cold or frozen temperatures.
Lettre d’un homme obscur. Rabelais à la lumière de la correspondance de Guillaume Budé
Authors: Menini Romain
Published: June 2022

La lettre que Rabelais adressa à Guillaume Budé en 1521 reçut une réponse qui parut en 1522 dans le deuxième volume de la correspondance de Budé, et constitua pour le futur auteur de la geste pantagruéline une première entrée en littérature. L’article analyse la connivence érudite qui caractérise l’écriture de la lettre rabelaisienne, en montrant combien la lecture des correspondances néo-latines de son temps (en particulier celles d’Érasme et de Budé) imprègne la pensée et le style de son auteur.
La Renaissance épistolographique dans l’œuvre de Guillaume Cretin
Authors: Delvallée Ellen
Published: June 2022

Cette étude aborde la correspondance poétique de Guillaume Cretin d’un point de vue épistolographique. Elle met tout d’abord en exergue la variété de ses pratiques épistolaires, puisque Cretin se montre tantôt fidèle aux artes dictaminis médiévaux, tantôt aux pratiques humanistes qui se développent depuis peu. Néanmoins, deux ans après la mort de Cretin, lorsque François Charbonnier confie cette correspondance à un éditeur, elle est organisée de façon à promouvoir une lecture plus moderne de ces épîtres, en mettant en exergue les échanges familiers et les recherches rhétoriques de son ami.
Traduction et tradition épistolographique : les sources italiennes des Lettres missives et familières d’Etienne du Tronchet (1569)
Authors: Panzera Maria Cristina
Published: June 2022

Longtemps considéré comme un recueil de lettres personnelles, les Lettres missives et familières d’Étienne du Tronchet (1569), secrétaire de Catherine de Médicis, sont en réalité le résultat d’une opération éditoriale complexe qui se place sous le signe de l’interculturalité, grâce à la traduction et à la réécriture des lettres des épistoliers italiens, en particulier Bernardo Tasso et l’Arétin. Si la structure du recueil porte l’empreinte de l’art des secrétaires alors en plein essor, l’intérêt de ce sujet se double d’une intention pédagogique que la lecture des paratextes laisse émerger pour esquisser une taxinomie des types épistolaires et de leur hiérarchie.
Les lettres d’Italie de Rabelais éditées par messieurs de Sainte-Marthe ou l’invention d’un recueil épistolaire
Authors: Charité Claude La
Published: June 2022

En 1651, paraissent pour la première fois les lettres envoyées de Rome par Rabelais à Geoffroy d’Estissac entre décembre 1535 et février 1536. Cette étude met en évidence comment les éditeurs de ces lettres, messieurs de Sainte-Marthe, inventent le corpus épistolaire des lettres d’Italie de Rabelais, dans le double sens du mot, c’est-à-dire comment ils exhument des textes inédits et comment, par ailleurs, ils construisent un objet textuel qui, dans une large mesure, est une fabrication éditoriale.

Puissance d’un mode mineur : oser le journal d’apprentissage en pédagogie universitaire
Authors: Lapaire Jean-Rémi
Published: June 2022

Rares sont les unités d’enseignement qui proposent la tenue d’un journal pour mener des exercices d’observation et de réflexion, à la fois libres et guidés, engagés et distancés. Plus rares encore sont les dispositifs pédagogiques où le journal d’apprentissage constitue la pièce maîtresse de la formation et de l’évaluation semestrielles. Or l’écriture d’un journal permet à chacun de devenir acteur-scripteur de sa propre expérience d’apprentissage et ce faisant de prendre pleine conscience de son statut de sujet apprenant. Au travers de l’écriture diaire, chaque individu est appelé à aiguiser ses qualités d’observation, de mémorisation et d’interprétation des scènes d’apprentissage dans lesquelles il a joué ou s’est dissimulé en tant qu’apprenant. Bien que rédigé postérieurement à l’expérience et porteur d’un regard foncièrement rétrospectif, le journal donne une intensité particulière à la perception du moment présent. Savoir qu’on va devoir revenir sur ce qui a été dit, pensé, ressenti ou accompli encourage une meilleure qualité d’attention et de rétention dans l’instant, tout en donnant davantage de sens à la prise de notes. Pour peu que plusieurs modes d’écriture soient encouragés – rationnel ou impressionniste, distancé ou intimiste, continu ou fragmenté – tout ce qui est consigné dans un journal de bord comme une donnée d’expérience (de soi, des autres, du groupe), tout ce qui émerge d’un ressouvenir, peut devenir un matériau de composition et de création, un vecteur d’appropriation intime de savoirs lointains ou étrangers. Enfin, le journal offre une vision en flux et en devenir de la dynamique d’évolution d’un apprentissage, tout en révélant d’éventuels incidents ou défaillances. L’évaluation pluriannuelle du dispositif confirme le caractère innovant du format, révèle un engagement dans l’écriture qui contraste avec la difficulté à tenir le rythme. Sont également relevés un respect du contrat implicite de sincérité, paradoxalement doublé d’une résistance à se saisir des libertés accordées dans l’expression de la subjectivité ; une validation du journal comme outil d’apprentissage et d’évaluation dans la discipline ; une inégale sensibilité au caractère processuel de la réflexion et de l’écriture ; enfin une certaine hésitation à reproduire ce dispositif si on est soi-même appelé à enseigner un jour.
« B2 or not B2 » ou la mise en place de badges numériques pour attester des compétences en anglais de spécialité
Authors: Maserati Carole , Millot Philippe , Torrealba-Ortigoza Angelica
Published: June 2022

Dans ce compte rendu d’expérience pédagogique, nous montrons comment une petite équipe d’anglicistes de spécialité, aidés d’une ingénieure pédagogique, a créé des badges numériques attestant du niveau B2 en anglais pour des étudiants de philosophie et d’information-communication. Par son contenu, orienté sur la spécialisation disciplinaire ou professionnelle, et sa structure, centrée sur le contrôle continu, le badge numérique est le reflet et la valorisation de la formation en anglais de spécialité. Dans un contexte de pression accrue pour attester formellement le niveau de compétence en langues, où la tentation de recourir à des prestataires est parfois grande, le badge numérique « anglais de spécialité » apparaît comme une solution pragmatique et financièrement raisonnable, mais fortement dépendante de la qualité des conditions d’apprentissage et du niveau de structuration des équipes.

Published: June 2022

This article describes the re-design of an English course for third‑year sports science students into a blended format at the school of Human and Social Sciences of University of Bordeaux. Online modules enable students to prepare for face‑to‑face classes in small groups with a focus on oral interaction and task-based learning. Here, we describe the rationale behind the course, the course architecture and activities before analysing feedback from both students and teachers. The aim of our study is to examine the impact of the course re-design on the learner. We investigate whether the course fosters greater engagement and encourages students to take on more responsibility for their learning. We also discuss the reactions of the teachers to the course and the impact it has on their role in the classroom.
Mise en scène du corps dématérialisé de l’apprenant en langues : La réalité virtuelle comme dispositif enactif prometteur
Authors: Privas-Bréauté Virginie
Published: June 2022

Les découvertes en neurosciences ont permis aux acteurs du milieu éducatif d’ancrer dans la réalité scientifique certaines de leurs intuitions relevant de l’apprentissage par l’expérience (Dewey). Ainsi, Aden a étudié la dimension didactique des pratiques théâtrales à la lumière du paradigme de l'enaction (Varela), inscrit dans les recherches autour de la cognition incarnée et des savoirs incorporés. C’est aussi dans ce paradigme que s’inscrivent nos recherches portant sur les mondes virtuels (Privas-Bréauté) et le potentiel didactique des environnements virtuels immersifs (EVI) en classe de langue, à travers la création d’un avatar, métaphore du corps de l’acteur/apprenant. Des expérimentations menées avec des étudiants de 2ème année de Master Métiers de l’Enseignement, de l’Éducation et de la Formation (MEEF) mention second degré anglais et espagnol complètent le protocole de recherche qualitative mis en place afin de comprendre comment la réalité virtuelle, à travers l’utilisation d’avatars, peut articuler théorie et pratique et faire émerger des questions phénoménologiques quant à la valeur ajoutée des EVI dans le cadre de l'enseignement/apprentissage des langues (Vial ; Shapiro).

Telles sont les questions qui ont animé l’équipe pédagogique des niveaux B1 et B2 d’Espagnol de l’université Toulouse Jean Jaurès, qui a engagé, à la rentrée 2018, une spécialisation de ces enseignements en contrôle continu par la mise en place de cinq parcours différents. C’est le fruit de ce travail que nous souhaitons présenter dans cette note pédagogique.
Schizophrenia, Recovery, and Culture
Authors: Tirupati Srinivasan , Padmavati Ramachandran
Published: June 2022

Recovery is a concept that defined a positive and empowering experience for people with Schizophrenia. Recovery is an innately personal phenomenon, but the cultural environment can influence the recovery process. The concept of recovery originated in the West. The Eastern cultures differ in various aspects from the Western cultures. Application of the Western model of recovery in an Eastern culture like India without considering the cultural differences would be misplaced. This paper discusses two cultural factors in Indian life, namely, the family and the doctrines of Karma and Fate, that can impact recovery from Schizophrenia. Understanding the impact of culture on schizophrenia recovery should also consider cultural variations between individuals and over time. Principles and practice of Recovery-oriented mental health care in India should consider the unique local cultural environment.
A Study on Parental Attitudes in Patients with Personality Disorders and Healthy Controls from a Tertiary Care Hospital in Northern India
Authors: Kour Sanjeet , Wani Zaid Ahmad , Ismail Haamid , Zargar Waris Ahmad
Published: June 2022

Background:

Personality disorders (PDs) comprise deeply ingrained and enduring behavioral patterns, manifesting themselves as inflexible responses to a broad range of personal and social situations. Our aim was to study sociodemographic profile and parental attitudes in patients with PDs and their comparison with healthy controls.

Materials and Methods:

It was an observational case–control study conducted in Department of Psychiatry, Government Medical College, Srinagar, J and K, India. A total of 41 cases and 163 controls were selected. Patients were diagnosed using Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-5 (DSM-5) criteria. Childhood Trauma Questionnaire was used for parental attitudes.

Results:

The mean age of patients and controls was 22.41 (standard deviation [SD] = 4.14) and 22.52 (SD = 4.15), respectively. Majority of the participants were females, single, were from nuclear families, and belonged to upper-middle socioeconomic class. Most of the patients were borderline PD (BPD), followed by histrionic PD. The frequency and inappropriateness of punishment by parents was more in patients than controls.

Conclusion:

A positive correlation was seen between PDs and inappropriate parental attitudes and rearing styles. Therefore, it is required to have a better understanding of PDs and to help parents to develop skills to handle their children with utmost care in distress.
Metamotivation in medical students
Authors: Norouzi Ali , Alizadeh Maryam , Parmelee Dean , Nedjat Saharnaz , Norouzi Saiideh , Shariati Mohammad
Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND:

Metamotivation is a process that students use to monitor their motivational states to reach their academic goals. To date, few studies have addressed the ways that medical students manage their motivational states. This study aim to identify the motivational strategies of medical students as they use the metamotivational process to monitor and control their motivational states.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

This qualitative study uses directed content analysis of the narrative responses of 18 medical students to draft an in-depth and semistructured interview protocol which were conducted through WhatsApp due to social distance restrictions of COVID-19. Data were collected, encoded, and analyzed using deductive content analysis approach descripted by Elo and Kyngäs.

RESULTS:

Seven main themes were extracted as the motivational strategies of medical students including “regulation of value,” “regulation of situational interest,” “self-consequating,” “environmental structuring,” “efficacy management,” “regulation of relatedness,” and “regulation of situational awareness.” In this study by identifying new strategies, we provide a broader framework of metamotivational strategies in the field of the progression of learners in medical education.

CONCLUSION:

Medical students use a variety of strategies to regulate their academic motivation. To sustain and improve the motivation of medical students, identifying and strengthening metamotivational strategies is the first step.
Using logistic regression to develop a diagnostic model for COVID-19
Authors: Nopour Raoof , Shanbehzadeh Mostafa , Kazemi-Arpanahi Hadi
Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND:

The main manifestations of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) are similar to the many other respiratory diseases. In addition, the existence of numerous uncertainties in the prognosis of this condition has multiplied the need to establish a valid and accurate prediction model. This study aimed to develop a diagnostic model based on logistic regression to enhance the diagnostic accuracy of COVID-19.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

A standardized diagnostic model was developed on data of 400 patients who were referred to Ayatollah Talleghani Hospital, Abadan, Iran, for the COVID-19 diagnosis. We used the Chi-square correlation coefficient for feature selection, and logistic regression in SPSS V25 software to model the relationship between each of the clinical features. Potentially diagnostic determinants extracted from the patient's history, physical examination, and laboratory and imaging testing were entered in a logistic regression analysis. The discriminative ability of the model was expressed as sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and area under the curve, respectively.

RESULTS:

After determining the correlation of each diagnostic regressor with COVID-19 using the Chi-square method, the 15 important regressors were obtained at the level of P < 0.05. The experimental results demonstrated that the binary logistic regression model yielded specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy of 97.3%, 98.8%, and 98.2%, respectively.

CONCLUSION:

The destructive effects of the COVID-19 outbreak and the shortage of healthcare resources in fighting against this pandemic require increasing attention to using the Clinical Decision Support Systems equipped with supervised learning classification algorithms such as logistic regression.

BACKGROUND:

Basic infection control measures are required in India's health-care setting in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) to lower the prevalence of hospital-associated infections. The aim of the present study was to assess practices followed by nurses of NICUs for nosocomial infection prevention.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

From January to February 2020, a descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted. Participants in the study were chosen by total enumeration sampling technique, i.e., 60 nurses were included in this study who working in tertiary care institutions, India. The study respondents' knowledge and practice for nosocomial infection control strategies were assessed by using a 30-item and 27-item questionnaires, respectively. SPSS (version 23.0) was used to analyze the data collected.

RESULTS:

Results showed that all nurses (100%) were females, belongs to the age group of 26–35 years (82%), hold professional qualifications (34%) in GNM as well as post basic BSc nursing, married (72%), had 1–5 years of professional experience (66%), and working in the NICUs for 1–3 years (74%). Most of nurses (55%) had never attended any session on nosocomial infection prevention. Nurses of NICUs (70%) had just a moderate degree of understanding on nosocomial infection prevention. Nurses' practice showed good practise (60%) for nosocomial infection prevention in NICUs.

CONCLUSIONS:

The necessity to adopt health-care policy about nosocomial infections and execution of regular training program to upgrade and refresh nurses' knowledge and practices regarding for nosocomial infection control measures is indicated to fill gap among knowledge and practices concerning nosocomial infection control and prevention.

Published: June 2022

While battling the life-threatening complications of COVID-19, its effect on the menstrual cycle and infertility has been somewhat ignored. This brief review aims on highlighting the importance of menstrual abnormalities being experienced during the post-COVID period and to make the clinicians aware about what to expect in regard of menstrual abnormalities by learning from various studies that have been conducted worldwide. This review article was written with systematic literature review with the help of data search machine such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Sciences, and Google Scholar. A search strategy leads to the extraction of 160 related articles that after the removal of inappropriate and duplicate articles, 33 articles were selected for the review. To find other potentially relevant articles, the references of the extracted articles were thoroughly examined. The search was carried out using keywords including “COVID-19,” “Menstrual abnormalities,” and “Infertility.” Using OR and AND, the keywords mentioned above were combined and then utilized in the search box of the databases. Articles published from January 2020 to September 2021 were included in this study. It includes worldwide data ranging from studies done in China, India, Ireland, Turkey, Jordan, and Germany. During the post-COVID period, there is a significant alteration in the sex hormones of females infected by COVID-19 which may manifest as menstrual cycle abnormalities such as decreased cycle length or prolonged menstrual cycle bleeding. It may also manifest as infertility due to ovarian failure due to suppression of ovarian function COVID-19 a novel coronavirus which is presently a pandemic has affected the world in manner reminding the world of 1918 Spanish flu. However, while battling the deadly pandemic, the clinicians should also be aware of the repercussions of the effect this infection has on multiple organs such as ovarian suppression leading to infertility, oligomenorrhea, or menorrhagia.

Authors: Rabacal Judith S. , Lausa Samson M. , Egcas Renante A. , Oducado Ryan Michael F. , Cleofas Jerome V. , Tamdang Khen A.
Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND:

The exponential increase of cases and the emergence of the new COVID-19 variants continue to be a challenge. It remains crucial to assess whether or not minimum health standards against COVID-19 are consistently followed. This study determined the higher education students' practice of protective measures against COVID-19 of more than a year into the pandemic.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

A questionnaire web survey, cross-sectional study was conducted among higher education students (n = 2309) of a public university in the Philippines. Data were analyzed using the SPSS software.

RESULTS:

Results indicated that students generally had a high practice of COVID-19 preventive measures. However, only 45.9% always practice physical distancing measures, and only 35.9% always seek information related to COVID-19 after more than a year into the pandemic. Female, married, graduate level, with a monthly family income of PHP 10,000 and above, and personal knowledge of someone who tested for COVID-19 had a significantly higher practice of COVID-19 protective measures. Older age, higher general self-reported health status, and higher intention to comply with recommended protective health behaviors were significantly correlated with higher practice of preventive measures against COVID-19.

CONCLUSION:

After more than a year of being into the pandemic, students still practice preventive health behaviors, however, this is not done consistently. As the pandemic is still not over in the country and many parts of the world, continuous monitoring and a reminder to practice minimum protective health protocols are needed to mitigate and prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Authors: Rajesh Chinthana , Ashok Lena , Rao Chythra R. , Kamath Veena G. , Kamath Asha , Sekaran Varalakshmi Chandra , Devaramane Virupaksha , Swamy V. Thippe
Published: June 2022

INTRODUCTION:

Educators, academicians, and teachers are responsible for the development of the nation's human capital. Teacher coping methods are becoming more widely recognized as a key factor in determining teacher effectiveness. The aim of this study was to identify the various coping strategies adopted by high school teachers in Southern India.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

A cross-sectional study was conducted in government, aided, and unaided schools of Udupi, a coastal district in Southern India. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data from 460 high school teachers chosen based on convenience sampling. The coping strategies were identified using a modified version of Brief COPE(Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced) Inventory (Carver, 1997). Data were entered using SPSS version 15 and descriptive statistics was performed.

RESULTS:

The study found that teachers had moderate level of coping skills in all domains. The most popular coping techniques used by secondary school teachers were positive reframing, active coping, and planning; nevertheless, substance use was recognized as the least popular coping strategy.

CONCLUSION:

Positive reframing, active coping, and preparation were the most commonly used coping strategies by the teachers in the survey. Teachers are a vital resource who have received less attention than they deserve for their psychological well-being. A customized intervention program based on their perceived needs could be a good place to start.

Published: June 2022

In COVID pandemic, attending the continuing medical education, workshops, and conferences with physical attendance is not possible. We designed, developed, and hosted the first of its kind academic virtual/online conference at par with an in-person academic conference to disseminate the expertise of the renowned subject experts along with researchers to present their research work due to the ongoing pandemic. We, in this article, had summarized the most critical steps in order to make the process easier for first-timers while providing our more comprehensive walkthroughs on each step. We choose a live session of the speakers on the Zoom meeting mode to retain the atmosphere of a live conference. WhatsApp, Google (Google Meet and E-mail), and Kahoot were other platforms to communicate with speakers, researchers, and participants to seamlessly participate. A number of advantages in terms of protection for delegates/speakers and their families came from the Virtual Conference on Nutrition and Health, restricting the spread of COVID-19, low budget for organizers, economically much cheaper alternatives both for speakers and participants, dissemination of knowledge, time productive, and meeting research paper presentation eligibility for a professional course. When one is new to technology, try adding an innovative aspect as a starting point to future virtual and in-person events, and seeing how it works is imperative. Ensuring Internet bandwidth, updated hardware, or webcam and/or microphone functionality at the participant end is critical.

Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND:

COVID-19 initiated in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and over a period of time, the infection outspread across the world in a rapid pace. To protect the people and to further limit the spread of infection, lockdown was declared in most parts of the world including India. As all people were forced to stay indoors during this pandemic, internet was the only source of entertainment whose overuse has side effects on anxiety and sleep quality. This study is aimed to know the impact of Internet addiction during COVID-19 on anxiety and sleep quality among college students of Bhubaneswar city.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

This was a web-based cross-sectional, questionnaire study. It administered 475 students from six colleges. The students were assessed by a proforma containing demographic details, patterns of internet use, Youngs Internet Addiction Test, Generalised Anxiety disorder score, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 21.0 using Chi-square test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test.

RESULTS:

The mean age of the study group was 18.81 ± 1.189. Out of 475 students, 60.6% were female and 39.4% were male. 23.6% and 13.4% of recruited students had severe internet addiction and anxiety disorder, respectively. The mean global PSQI score in the study was 6.356 ± 1.88. About 84.6% of the students had poor global sleep quality score. All components of sleep quality were significantly associated (P = 0.000) with different degrees of internet addiction except sleep duration (P = 0.589) and efficiency (P = 0.767).

CONCLUSION:

Females were highly addicted than males. The study findings specified that students' excessive internet usage leads to anxiety, and affects mental health. Monitoring and controlling students' internet addiction through informative sessions on how to use the Internet adequately is useful.

Authors: Jahanshahi-Amjazi Roya , Rezaeian Mohsen , Abdolkarimi Mehdi , Nasirzadeh Mostafa
Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND:

In terms of public health, vaccination is considered as the most effective approach against the infectious diseases. Accepting and receiving the first vaccine produced as an innovation may not be easy. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the predictors of intention to receive COVID-19 vaccine by Iranians aged 18–70 years based on the health belief model in 2021.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

This descriptive study was performed on 2365 people aged 18–70-year old in Iran by random cluster sampling. Receipt of data was done electronically questionnaire through the Porcelain system. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 20 using Chi-square, one-way analysis of variance, independent t-test, and multiple regression analysis at a significance level of 0.05.

RESULTS:

The mean score of receiving the Iranian corona vaccine was 3.06 ± 1.30 out of 5 points. About 16.7% reported that they will definitely choose the Iranian vaccine. The highest correlation was between the intention to receive the vaccine with self-efficacy (r = 0.239, P < 0.001) and barriers to receiving the vaccine (r = −0.237, P < 0.001). Self-efficacy (β = 0.114, P < 0.001), perceived barriers (β = −0.126, P < 0.001), and benefits of vaccine (β = 0.061, P = 0.022) were most important predictors the intention to receive the vaccine.

CONCLUSION:

Approximately 38% reported that they would definitely and probably not choose the Iranian corona vaccine. Therefore, it is suggested that more information should be provided about the features and benefits of domestically produced vaccines compared to foreign products.

Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND AND AIM:

Bipolar disorder (BD) is one of the most challenging psychiatric disorders in the management area that can lead to functional, occupational, and cognitive disorders. Without proper care, this complication can lead to profound psychological challenges and even death. The aim of this study is to design a minimum data set (MDS) for BD.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in two steps. In the first step, a survey was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, and SCOPUS databases to identify the demographic, managerial, and clinical data elements. Then, the required data elements were extracted from the studies by the data extraction form and used in a questionnaire. In the second step, to confirm the data element set, the designed questionnaire was distributed and collected among 20 psychiatrists and subspecialists during a two-stage Delphi technique. Descriptive statistics (frequency and mean) were conducted to analyze the data.

RESULTS:

Totally, 112 managerial and clinical data elements in 14 categories were extracted from the studies. Based on the experts' opinion and their consensus, 88 necessary data elements were considered to bipolar MDS. “Medication nonadherence,” “history of suicide,” and “substance abuse and addiction” were the most important data elements.

CONCLUSION:

In this study, an MDS was designed for BD. Providing this MDS, in addition to improving the clinical processes, it is possible to help electronic system designers and health data managers to know what information should be included in the health systems or any kind of self-care or self-management software to meet the information needs of these patients.

BACKGROUND:

The Health System Reform Plan, especially in medical education, has undoubtedly caused changes in the university. The continuation of this project requires recognizing the challenges confronted by those in charge of its implementation. This study aimed to explore the challenges of the implementers of the Transformation and Innovation Plan in Medical Education in the universities of Macroregion 5.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

The qualitative research was conducted using the content analysis method. Semi-structured interviews with health and medical education managers were used to collect information. Participants were 11 educational leaders of universities who were selected by purposeful sampling. Data collection continued until data saturation was reached. Data analysis was performed continuously and simultaneously with data collection. The Graneheim and Lundman methods were used to analyze the data.

RESULTS:

From 11 interviews, one theme, five categories, and 12 subclasses were obtained. Five categories include lack of proper groundwork, weak leadership, structural problems, inability to fund, and inadequate monitoring.

CONCLUSION:

Innovation and transformation in medical education are one of the critical missions and admirable actions of the Ministry of Health in the field of education, but a review of this plan can, in addition to identifying shortcomings and problems, pave the way for success, and progress in future programs.

Purpose: Due to the immediacy of the COVID-19 phenomenon, researchers recognized a need to examine the effects of restrictions on communication patterns between committed, cohabiting partners. Prior literature investigated factors contributing to communication satisfaction; however, a substantial gap remains within the occupational therapy (OT) literature. The study explored perceived satisfaction of quantity and quality of communication before and during COVID-19 restrictions between cohabitating, committed partners and its relation to occupation.

Methods: A questionnaire sent via e-mail recruited subjects from an occupational therapy doctorate (OTD) program who self-identified as having quarantined with a committed partner during COVID-19 restrictions. A mixed-methods design consisted of two phases: a questionnaire which measured perceptions of quantity and quality of communication before and during COVID-19 restrictions and a virtual focus group which gathered information on lived experiences regarding communication during the same time periods.

Results: The questionnaire provided quantitative data (n=12) on demographics, communication satisfaction, communication frequency, and frequency of media use. Paired sample t-tests did not show a significant difference in means before or during COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. Four themes emerged from the focus group (n= 6) including change in routines, personal reflections, and quantity and quality of communication.

Conclusion: Findings suggested that quarantining with a committed partner during COVID-19 restrictions had mixed effects on quality and quantity of communication, however, satisfaction remained consistently high. Participants reported adapting to challenges created by COVID-19 restrictions by altering habits and routines specific to communication with their committed partner. The study presents information on the patterns of communication in intimate partner relationships vital to the profession of OT.

Este artigo socializa um trabalho desenvolvido na comunidade Barreiro Grande situada no município de Serra do Ramalho-BA, por meio do projeto Tecendo Saberes, proposta que fortaleceu a relação entre estudantes da Educação de Jovens e Adultos e estudantes do 4º e 5º ano turma multisseriada. O projeto foi desenvolvido em duas etapas: a primeira etapa discutiu-se a organização do trabalho pedagógico das escolas do campo e das turmas multisseriadas e, no segundo momento, os estudantes da EJA apresentaram suas culturas, saberes e produções locais em uma roda de diálogo com os alunos do 4º e 5º ano turma multisseriada.  O projeto contou com a participação de 2 coordenadores, 3 professores e 30 estudantes. Ao possibilitar o contato entre os estudantes e a socialização do que os estudantes da EJA produzem evidenciamos a importância de um currículo vivo para este público que reconheça a cultura e as formas de vida. Os jovens e adultos têm muito a ensinar as crianças da comunidade no sentido de permanecer viva suas manifestações sociais e culturais. Em síntese, podemos afirmar que a EJA construiu sua própria especificidade como educação, com um olhar sobre os seus sujeitos, uma educação ampla, plural que não se restringe ao ensino.

Pets: Theological Dilemmas and Spatial Accommodation Among Turkish-Speaking Migrants in the Northwest of England
Authors: ÇOŞTU Mehmet Davut
Published: June 2022

Based on individual interviews in the Northwest of England, this article examines how Turkish-speaking (TS) migrants experience pet practices. Building on approaches to space-making practices, as well as studies on everyday lived religion, this article explores how TS migrants constitute pet practices within their understanding of Islam and the context in where they live.This article shifts the emphasis from the study of texts to the study of lived practices. This study explores how texts are employed in distinctive ways by individuals in everyday life. Additionally, it has been discussed that Muslims’ lives cannot be reduced to text only. Instead, the text and the context mutually reconstitute individuals’ everyday lives. TS migrants established a way of life by taking seriously into account the mutual relationships between the text and the context. They lived in a certain context without excluding the text. This study explored that their everyday lives are inspired by the text. Particularly, pet practices are chosen to demonstrate the negotiation between the text and the context.Despite the increase of pet practices among Muslims in Europe, including Britain, it is less researched. Examining the stories of six men in the UK who are mixed married, this article pushes further the discussions of Islamic views on dogs, by exploring the challenges that male migrants face theologically and socially, and strategically adapting to deal with unique situations and their everyday experiences. It reveals that mixed married TS migrants come across two main strategies to deal with this practice: convincing kids to avoid dog adoption or creating religious spaces in the home sphere by not allowing dogs to enter certain rooms.
Çokluk Kuramı Bağlamında Kur’an’da Kitleler
Authors: KOYUNCU Sena
Published: June 2022

İnsan toplumsal bir varlıktır. İnsanlık tarihi boyunca bireylerin birbirleriyle iç içe ve bir arada yaşaması hasebiyle kalabalıklar meydana gelmektedir. Bu kalabalıklar zaman içerisinde kolektif bir tutumla kitle halini alırlar. Kalabalıklaşan ve daima çokluğu önceleyen kitleler bilinçli bir şekilde bir araya gelerek oluşan yapılar olmakla beraber bir takım temel özellikleri de bünyesinde barındırmaktadırlar. Bazı kitlelerin inançlı bireyleri de bünyesinde barındırmasıyla beraber bu kitlelerin din ile ilişkisinden bahsetmemiz mümkün hale gelmektedir. Bu nedenle çalışmamızda ilk olarak çokluğu önceleyen bu yapıyı ve bu yapıya dair özelliklerin neler olduğu; çokluk (büyüme) arzusu, kitlelerde eşitlik, belli bir hedefin olması, bir lidere (öndere) bağlı olma, biz olma durumu ve kolay ikna edilebilir olma özellikleri bağlamında ele alınacaktır. Aynı zamanda Kur’an’da bu özelliklere sahip olan kitle örnekleri irdelenerek değerlendirilmiş buna bağlı olarak kitlelerde mevcut olan çokluk durumu Kur’an’da nicelik (çokluk) ve kitle ilişkisi bağlamında ele alınmıştır. Çalışmada anlayıcı yaklaşım metodolojisi bağlamında nitel yöntemin tarihi dokümantasyon tekniği kullanılmıştır.
