COVID-19 has disproportionately impacted older adults in long-term care (LTC) facilities in Canada. There are opportunities to learn from this crisis and to improve systems of care in order to ensure that older adults in LTC enjoy their right to the highest attainable standard of health. Measures are needed to ensure the mental health of older adults in LTC during COVID-19. The Canadian Academy of Geriatric Psychiatry (CAGP) and Canadian Coalition for Seniors’ Mental Health (CCSMH) have developed the following position statements to address the mental health needs of older adults in LTC facilities, their family members, and LTC staff. We outlined eight key considerations related to mental health care in LTC during COVID-19 to optimize the mental health of this vulnerable population during the pandemic.
Das Konzept sozialer Milieus als Perspektive zur Beschreibung und Erklärung sozialer Phänomene. Replik auf Bertram Barth
Authors: Sachweh Patrick
Published: December 2021

Mit dem Beitrag wird auf die Darstellung der Entwicklung und Konstruktion der Sinus-Milieus im Rahmen privat finanzierter Forschung von Bertram Barth in diesem Heft reagiert. Dabei wird zunächst der Grundsatz des Verfahrens, ein standardisiertes Instrument zur Erfassung sozialer Milieus aus qualitativer Forschung heraus zu entwickeln, gewürdigt. Sodann wird kritisch beleuchtet, inwieweit das geschilderte Vorgehen geläufigen Standards guter wissenschaftlicher Praxis entspricht und was die Voraussetzungen für eine Beurteilung der Erklärungskraft der Sinus-Milieus sind.
Chinas Zukunft – Imperium, nicht Hegemonie
Authors: Schubert Gunter
Published: December 2021

Dieser Aufsatz setzt sich mit der Frage auseinander, inwiefern der wirtschaftliche und politische Aufstieg Chinas als „imperial“ zu begreifen ist und insofern nicht als „hegemonial“. Orientiert am Kriterienkatalog der Imperiumstheorie von Herfried Münkler, wird argumentiert, dass ein neues chinesisches Empire entsteht. Der „Westen“ ist nicht angemessen auf diese Entwicklung eingestellt, weil die „imperiale Logik“ der Machtentfaltung Chinas bisher noch nicht hinreichend reflektiert worden ist. Die Unterscheidung zwischen Hegemonie und Imperium kann einen Beitrag leisten, das weltpolitische Agieren Chinas sachgerecht zu interpretieren.
Was sind Normen? Das reduktionistische und das konstruktivistische Normenverständnis im Dialog
Authors: Mende Janne , Möllers Christoph
Published: December 2021

Drei zentrale Fragen prägen die Untersuchung von Normen: der soziale Kontext von Normen, die Bewertung von Normen sowie die Macht in und durch Normen. Der Artikel geht diesen Fragen nach, indem er zwei Verständnisse von Normen miteinander in den Dialog bringt: ein konstruktivistisches und ein reduktionistisches Normenverständnis. Das aus dem Dialog entwickelte verschränkte Normenverständnis erlaubt es, die Eigentümlichkeit von Normen bei ihrer spezifischen Vermitteltheit mit sozialen Kontexten, normativen Verortungen und Macht in den Blick zu nehmen.
Disruption, Isolation, riskante Konfusion – Anmerkungen zur kriminalpolitisch relevanten Pandemiepolitik in europäischer und internationaler Perspektive
Authors: Nogala Detlef
Published: December 2021

Der Beitrag befasst sich mit Blick insbesondere auf Entwicklungen in Europa mit den allgemein disruptiven und kriminogenen Auswirkungen der Corona-Pandemie auf die Instanzen des Kriminaljustizsystems. Dabei wird unterschieden zwischen lediglich den Kriminalitätsverlauf der Vorkrisenzeit modifizierenden Einflüssen und solchen, die als pandemie-spezifisch eingeordnet werden könnten. Im Weiteren wird die Belastung der Instanzen organisierter staatlicher Sozialkontrolle (Gerichtsbarkeit, Justizvollzug, Polizei) in der Corona-Krise thematisiert. Abschließend werden, mit Bezug auf die internationale Diskussion, Überlegungen zu einem möglichen qualitativen Wandel organisierter Sozialkontrolle angestellt.
Die Europäische Staatsanwaltschaft – Rechtliche Einordnung der ersten supranationalen Strafverfolgungsbehörde
Authors: Strauch Lorenz
Published: December 2021

Nach monatelanger Verzögerung hat die Europäische Staatsanwaltschaft (EUStA) am 1. Juni 2021 endlich ihre Arbeit aufgenommen. Die neue EU-Behörde, die durch die Verordnung (EU) 2017/1939 vom 12. Oktober 2017 eingerichtet wurde, soll das Geld der europäischen Steuerzahler:innen wirksamer schützen, indem sie Fälle von Betrug (einschließlich schwerem grenzüberschreitenden Mehrwertsteuerbetrug), Veruntreuung, Korruption, Geldwäsche und anderen „Straftaten zum Nachteil der finanziellen Interessen der EU“ untersucht und bekämpft. Die EUStA ist ein unabhängiges Organ der EU und als solches die erste supranationale Strafverfolgungsbehörde überhaupt. Ihre Einrichtung ist ein großer Schritt, insbesondere vor dem Hintergrund, dass das Strafrecht traditionell sehr stark in den nationalen Rechtskulturen verankert ist. Genau aus diesem Grund sind einige Mitgliedstaaten (noch) nicht bereit, sich an dem Projekt zu beteiligen. Sie haben Bedenken hinsichtlich ihrer staatlichen Souveränität, weshalb die EUStA nur im Wege einer „Verstärkten Zusammenarbeit“ realisiert werden konnte. Der Beitrag möchte die neue EU-Institution aus rechtlicher Sicht beleuchten und so herausfinden, ob die Skepsis der nicht-teilnehmenden Mitgliedstaaten berechtigt ist.
Wie Lehrende über geflüchtete, traumatisierte Kinder und Jugendliche in der Schule berichten
Authors: Weiß Sabine , Scheuerer Verena , Kiel Ewald
Published: December 2021

Die Studie nimmt in den Blick, wie Lehrende über geflüchtete, traumatisierte Schüler*innen berichten. Die Befragten verorten die Entstehung eines Traumas meist in einem isolierten auslösenden Ereignis im Herkunftsland der Schüler*innen oder auf der Flucht. An einer prozesshaften Entstehung von Traumata, wie sie die Forschung annimmt, orientieren sie sich kaum. Schilderungen zu Traumata sind ausgerichtet am Verhalten der Schüler*innen, das in den Kontext zu erfüllender Anforderungen gesetzt wird. Lehrer*innen argumentieren aus ihrer professionellen Rolle heraus: Bedeutsam sind Unterrichtskonzepte und die - monolingual ausgerichtete - Förderung der Unterrichtssprache. Haltungen und interpersonale Dynamiken sind hingegen kaum Thema. Weiter zeigt sich, dass die Institution Schule und das Bildungssystem Zwänge sowie Struktur- und Institutionslogiken schaffen, die eine Unterstützung traumatisierter Schüler*innen erschweren.

The Growing And Weeding of Dandelions
Authors: Sharp Tim ,   After Dinner Conversation
Published: December 2021

Can the stakes ever be so high that genocide of a species is a reasonable option? Is this ever the kind of choice you should put to a democratic vote? In this work of philosophical short story fiction, a civilization-sized space ship has been flying to populate the surrounding solar systems. They start with a skeleton crew, use ship resources and grow their population over generations, then arrive at a new planet. They drop off the extra people, replenish their raw resources, and do it all again. All is well until a weak radio signal makes them realize they are heading towards a planet that likely already has sentient alien life. If they don’t stop, their population will burst at the seams in the ship and they will likely run out of resources before the next solar system. If they do stop, they are likely to, over time, subjugate the indigenous population. They have just weeks to decide if they plan to make a course correction.
The Early J.S. Mill on Marriage and Divorce
Authors: Pötzsch Janelle ,   Romanian Academy - Iasi Branch
Published: December 2021

This paper discusses Mill’s early essay on marriage and divorce (1832) and gives two possible sources of influence for it: Plato’s arguments on the appropriate scope of the law in book IV of his Republic and Unitarian ideas on motherhood. It demonstrates that Plato’s Republic and Mill’s essay both emphasize the crucial role of background conditions in achieving desirable social aims. Similar to Plato’s claim that the law should provide only a rough framework and not concern itself with questions of etiquette (Republic, 425d), Mill envisions a society in which men and women meet as equals and hence are in no need of marriage laws. Besides, this paper will relate Mill’s essay on marriage and divorce to Unitarian ideas on the social role of women to account for his reservations about the gainful employment of married women and mothers. Mill’s claim that the rightful employment of a mother is “the training of the affections” (Mill 1970, 76) is fueled by the Unitarian conception of women as the moral educators of future citizens.
An Inhuman God for Our Inhuman Times
Authors: Sampath Rajesh ,   Romanian Academy - Iasi Branch
Published: December 2021

This paper attempts a careful reading of chapter I of Division Two, particularly section 53, on death in Heidegger’s Being and Time (1927). Our aim is to deconstruct some of Heidegger’s assumptions while imagining the margins of his text that could warrant a comparison and contrast with the biblical theological material of the New Testament. In parallel by reading the Synoptic Gospel of Mark on Jesus’s agony in the garden prior to his arrest, trial, death, and resurrection, we can initiate a series of comparisons and contrasts. For Heidegger, there is no conception or idea beyond death, and yet death itself as a possibility, even as the greatest possibility to be, is not like any other point in time that a human being can experience, grasp, remember, or anticipate while they are alive. It is not the witnessing of the medically certified death of another person or animal. Out of this paradox, we will argue for a greater philosophical degree of complexity that Jesus the human being experiences when it comes to the possibility of death and the impossibility to surmount it. In the same token we cannot exclude the theological doctrine of the single hypostatic substance (as two natures) of the historically finite person Jesus as human flesh and divine transcendence. So philosophically speaking, his death is unique even though its event as physical expiration on the Cross is like any other human being. However, the physical death of the human called Jesus does not answer the question of the meaning of death in the split-natured unified hypostatic substance of Christ, the Second Person of the Triune Christian God, which includes the First Person of the Father and the Third Person of the Holy Spirit. By tracing a series of complicated philosophical relations, we hope to contribute to the fields of philosophical theology, albeit a heterodox one, and the philosophy of religion while attending to the inherent secular limits that Heidegger’s philosophy requires in so far as he imagines his project as ‘ontological,’ and not ‘theological’ or ‘historical.’ We conclude with certain philosophical speculations to what is other to both Heidegger’s ontology and mainstream Christian theology.
O DIREITO FUNDAMENTAL À PROTEÇÃO DE DADOS PESSOAIS E AS CONDIÇÕES DE PRECEDÊNCIA EM TRÊS MEDIDAS NÃO FARMACOLÓGICAS ADOTADAS PELO BRASIL NO ENFRENTAMENTO DA COVID-19
Authors: Cunha e Cruz Marco Aurélio Rodrigues da , Camargo Luís Henrique Kohl
Published: December 2021

Este artigo objetiva analisar três medidas não farmacológicas adotadas pelo Poder Público brasileiro para o enfrentamento da Covid-19: 1) o repasse de informações pelas operadoras de telecomunicação sobre a circulação de pessoas; 2) o compartilhamento de dados pessoais para a implantação de teleatendimento pelo Ministério da Saúde; 3) o compartilhamento de dados ao IBGE de todos os consumidores de empresas de telecomunicações. Tais medidas tematizam questionamentos sobre a afetação e a possível violação do direito à proteção de dados pessoais. A metodologia aplicada é a analítica. O problema é resolvido por intermédio de levantamento bibliográfico e documental em três etapas: defenderemos o direito à proteção de dados pessoais como direito fundamental; descreveremos as três medidas objeto de análise; estabeleceremos as relações de precedência condicionada aplicáveis a cada uma das medidas. Concluímos que as medidas 1 e 2 podem ser adotadas desde que observadas condições específicas; e que a medida 3 representa violação do direito à privacidade e uma vigilância indevida

Sign-design; nuevas estrategias para modelar procesos y estructuras sígnicas
Authors: Farias Priscila , Queiroz Joáo
Published: December 2021

En este artículo vamos a presentar los resultados parciales de un estudio que actualmente estamos desarrollando en el ámbito de la semiótica peirceana, más específicamente en el campo de las clasificaciones sígnicas de Charles S. Peirce. Creemos que la estrategia adoptada en este estudio, que llamamos Sign-Design, puede ser generalizada como un método de investigación en el campo de la semiótica. Se trata del abordaje sistemático de aspectos específicos de la teoría del signo de Peirce, que tiene como objetivo la construcción de modelos visuales de estructuras y procesos sígnicos, estableciendo conexiones entre la semiótica peirceana y los campos del diseño gráfico y del razonamiento diagramático (diagrammatic reasoning). Ella extrae del diseño gráfico una posible metodología y del campo de investigación, conocido como razonamiento diagramático, el argumento de que los diagramas son herramientas valiosas, no sólo para solucionar problemas específicos (problem solving), sino también, de una forma general, para la organización del pensamiento (cf. Chandrasekaran et al., 1995: xv-xxvII).
Los rumores más allá y más acá de la noticia (versiones no autorizadas de la realidad)
Authors: Assis Iasbeck Luiz Carlos
Published: December 2021

No son muchos los estudios—ni tampoco originales— sobre éste que tal vez sea uno de los medios más antiguos de la comunicación humana: los rumores, las habladurías. Sea por la fugacidad de su acción, sea por la prohibición que los toma tan atrayentes y peligrosamente cautivantes, los rumores son fenómenos comunicativos que preceden, parodian, agitan y realimentan la novedad de la noticia. Ellos reascienden el interés y la motivación que tienden a disminuirse cuando es revelado el misterio o cuando es autorizada la versión oficial acerca de un hecho esperado o acontecido. El rumor también crea efectos que lo convierte en foco de las atenciones y vigilancia del orden público, principal sospecha y mira preferida de esa manera subtextual de la realidad.

¿Una métrica de nueva planta? Métrica y Teoría de la Literatura
Authors: Paz Gago José María
Published: December 2021

La necesidad de dar un sustrato teórico-crítico a los estudios métricos ha chocado contra esos escollos de manera tan pertinaz que ni los intentos más ambiciosos de lograr una teoría métrica sólida han podido llegar a buen puerto o, cuando menos, no han tenido la esperada continuidad y, por tanto, no han hecho realidad la esperada revolución definitiva del análisis métrico de la poesía lírica. Desde un punto de vista epistemológico parece evidente que la Métrica Teórica debe vincularse a la Teoría de la Literatura y a la Poética, integrándose y formando parte de ellas, así como la Métrica Descriptiva se incarnará en la Crítica Literaria. La Métrica Comparada, tan frecuentada por los formalistas eslavos, constituirá un subdominio privilegiado de la Literatura Comparada, de igual forma que la Métrica Histórica debería constituir un subdominio en el campo de la Historia de la Literatura.
El perro del hortelano, de Pilar Miró: una adaptación no tan fiel de la comedia de Lope de Vega
Authors: Alonso Veloso María José
Published: December 2021

Cuando Pilar Miró decide acometer la adaptación de un clásico del teatro español, El perro del hortelano, de Lope de Vega, no hace más que seguir una vieja tradición que se remonta a los mismos comienzos del género cinematográfico. Como apunta Juan de Mata Moncho Aguirre (1999b: 225), «desde sus inicios, el cine español ha requerido de la materia argumental que proporcionan los textos teatrales, aun cuando nada haya más anticinematográfico que la pieza escénica, situada en el polo opuesto a los principios básicos que trajo el cine con su técnica antinaturalista».

"Det er lidt snyd, er det ik?" En kvalitativ undersøgelse af specialevejledning som forskningspraktik
Authors: Wichmann-Hansen Gitte , Bager-Elsborg Anna , Müller Sune Dueholm
Published: December 2021

I denne artikel undersøger vi muligheder og begrænsninger ved en konkret vejledningsmodel, som en specialevejleder har udviklet, hvori studerende tilbydes partnerskab i form af tæt samarbejde og medforfatterskab på en artikel. Vi tager afsæt i litteraturen om "studerende som partnere" og placerer modellen teoretisk inden for denne litteratur som en radikal og elitær udgave af forskningssamarbejde med studerende. Datagrundlaget er longitudinale fokusgruppe-interviews og individuelle interviews med fire specialestuderende. Analysen viser, at de studerende oplever muligheder for et stort læringsudbytte, intens sparring og større jobafklaring. Samtidig viser analysen, at modellen er ressourcekrævende og appellerer til særligt ambitiøse studerende og vejledere.
Artiklen bidrager med nye fund om de indre spændinger mellem styring og selvstændighed, der kan opstå i vejledningen, når vejlederen har flere roller, nemlig rollen som både vejleder, bedømmer og projektleder. Artiklen afsluttes med en række råd til, hvad man bør være opmærksom på i implementeringen af denne type vejledning.
The space $D$ in several variables: random variables and higher moments
Authors: Janson Svante
Published: December 2021

We study the Banach space $D([0,1]^m)$ of functions of several variables that are (in a certain sense) right-continuous with left limits, and extend several results previously known for the standard case $m=1$. We give, for example, a description of the dual space, and we show that a bounded multilinear form always is measurable with respect to the $\sigma$-field generated by the point evaluations. These results are used to study random functions in the space. (I.e., random elements of the space.) In particular, we give results on existence of moments (in different senses) of such random functions, and we give an application to the Zolotarev distance between two such random functions.
Journalistik over Øresund
Authors: Eberholst Mads Kæmsgaard
Published: December 2021

In 2012, the world’s probably fi rst regional transnational news agency was founded in the Øresund region between Denmark and Sweden. News Øresund, as the agency is called, delivers free transnational news pertaining to the Øresund region to Danish and Swedish media. Such a transnational agency can ensure that the media publish more or diff erent transnational journalism than they would otherwise do, because the news media then does not need to do the transnational reporting themselves (Grieves, 2012). This article examines Danish media in the period before and after News Øresund, and it is argued that certain changes in the media content from the Øresund region can be traced before and after News Øresund. The changes in the media content can to a certain extent be attributed to News Øresund, as interviews with journalists on the examined media show that News Øresund is used daily in the newsrooms.
OPTIMISATION OF A RESIN-COATED CHROMITE SAND FOR RAPID SAND CASTING APPLICATIONS
Authors: Tshabalala Neo , Nyembwe Kasongo , Van Tonder Malan
Published: December 2021

Applications of three-dimensional printing (3DP) to sand casting have been well-established in the last two decades. The preferred raw material is silica (quartz) sand, as it is the most readily available and cost effective sand. However, silica sand as a refractory material has some technical limitations, including high thermal linear expansion, low refractoriness, and thermal conductivity. Therefore, it is not suitable for all castings. Other refractory sand types are available, including chromite sand, which is abundantly available in South Africa. Analysis of the physical and chemical properties of in-laboratory coating of a locally available chromite sand was conducted through known metal foundry tests that provide an understanding of the quality and suitability of the use of chromite sand as a potential substitute for silica material for rapid sand-casting applications. The results of this study will inform the industry about the optimisation of parameters for the manufacturing of a resin-coated chromite sand and its use in additive manufacturing using a Voxeljet VX 1000 printer.
Coming Back Home to Oppressive Mississippi: A Figurative Study of Jesmyn Ward’s Men We Reaped
Authors: Choiński Michał
Published: December 2021

The aim of the paper is to discuss the figurative aspects of Jesmyn Ward’s The Men We Reaped (2013). In her memoir, Ward demonstrates the connections between the systemic racism in the US South and the tragic stories of five African-American men who were close to her, and who died between 2000-2004. The tragic loss of these lives is presented through a number of figurative images which present the region through the metaphors of predatory animals, physical burdens and uncanny doubling. Also, the article reflects on how Ward coped with the trauma of loss through her writings, and how, in numerous interviews, she justified her decision to return home to Mississippi and to settle there, in spite of the systemic racism and the trauma of loss.
The Need for Efficiency of Energy Sources Management in Sustainable Architecture
Authors: Razzaghipour Amirali
Published: December 2021

With the industrialization of the world, energy resources need management more than anything else. Because today we live in an energy-dependent world, we need energy to generate heat and cold, to create light, to start car engines, to run factory gears, to harvest crops, and so on. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the need for efficiency of energy sources management in sustainable architecture was conducted. In this research, a descriptive-analytical method has been used to look at the concept of energy resources management and sustainable development and their relationship, to study renewable energy sources in Iran and to propose proposed solutions in this regard. The results show that energy management requires the presentation of policies by managers of a country and also requires public education at the community level. Achieving sustainable development also requires access to sustainable energy sources that non-renewable energy and fossil fuels are not suitable sources in this regard due to unsustainability, but renewable energy will remain for future generations if used, unlike fossil fuels. They will not lead to pollution and global warming. Undoubtedly, by replacing renewable energies with non-renewable energies, the steps taken towards sustainable development will become stronger. In addition to these issues, the epidemic and the increase in the number of victims and victims of the Covid-19 virus, which led to the closure of oil fields, refineries, mines, etc., was another blow to the managers and officials of countries to find out more than ever the only solution to these problems is referring to renewable energy.
The Models of Auto-Confessional Author
Authors: Gashi Agron Y.
Published: December 2021

A discussion that used a theoretical discourse as opposed to the discourse used by positivism began in the second half of the past century with the focus on the issue of the author in literature. The search for the author by the method of looking for him/her in between the lines was evident in literary theories, especially after Roland Barthes’ eminent essay The Death of the Author (written in 1968). Afterwards, the issue of the author was regarded by European and Anglo-American schools as an issue to be discovered within the text either as the presence of the narrator or the author, or as an explicit presence as an auto-confessional author. Being of such an explicit nature, it is not unexpected that the auto-confessional author has oftentimes been neglected. Upon this consideration, the auto-confessional author is the object of this paper that aims to set about a theoretical and conceptual confrontation with the purpose of framing a model of the auto-confessional author and his manifestation in literature.
International Student Strategy of Turkey: Analysis of The Present Situation and Suggestions for The Solutions of The Problems
Authors: Kürtül İbrahim , Kapağan Enver , Kundakçı Mustafa , Bacaklı Yılmaz
Published: December 2021

Since knowledge today is the most powerful core source for individuals, society and states, it is becoming an essential leverage that affects profoundly the dynamics of all parties. For this reason, information gains a nature that will affect all dynamics of individual and social life. Moreover, the fact that there is no boundary for knowledge is very convenient for states that want to expand their power and efficiency. Due to that, they allocate a huge number of resources on producing knowledge. Commercializing the strategic knowledge is also an affirmative determinant for this allocation.

Higher education institutions are places where qualified information is processed and transferred. For this reason, it is only possible to reach qualified information by receiving education in higher education institutions that provide this service under appropriate conditions. The transformation of knowledge into a basic need for people and societies today significantly increases the demands for higher education. In countries that develop higher education institutions with their investments, the demands for these institutions are increasing day by day not only by the citizens of the countries but also by international students who cannot access qualified information in their countries for various reasons. In this sense, Turkey has become a centre of attraction in higher education seriously. It is vital for Turkey to successfully implement perpetually the Internationalization Strategy Document in Higher Education to meet fast increasing international student demands.

This paper makes an effort to review the current situation of the internationalization strategy of higher education in Turkey, summarize its implementation, emphasize problems encountered, and propose very essential suggestions for the solutions of these problems. It will surely help Turkey’s effort to reach its target on the internationalization strategy of higher education, and to become an important centre of attraction for both international students and academic staffs. As suggested in this paper, this aim is acquired only under the condition of identifying problems, making decisions very fast for the solutions, and prosecuting the implementation of the decisions continuously.
Mass Mobilization in Indian Politics: A Case Study of Non-Cooperation Movement
Authors: Dar Farooq Ahmad , Khan Muhammad Sajid , Zahoor Muhammad Abrar
Published: December 2021

Mass-Mobilization is one of the key ingredients for not only launching a movement but also for spreading any political agenda. The involvement of the masses always plays an important role in a process of bringing change anywhere and at any time. The history of South Asia, however, witnessed that in the struggle against the colonial rulers, to begin with, started by the elite alone. Politics was considered as the domain of a selected few and the common men were considered as ignorant and perhaps irrelevant and thus were kept at a distance. It was only after the beginning of the twentieth century and especially after the entrance of Gandhi on the political screen that the masses gained importance and were directly involved in political affairs. They not only became part of the Non-Cooperation Movement but also played an important role in spreading the movement all across India. In this paper, an attempt has been made to highlight Gandhi’s efforts to mobilize Indian masses during the Non-Cooperation Movement and its impact on the future politics of the region. The paper also discusses in detail different groups of society that actively participated in the process of mass-mobilization.
Yoganın Ses Eğitiminde Kullanılabilirliği: Performansa Dayalı Deneysel Bir Araştırma
Authors: Ertek Babaç Ezgi , Köse H. Seval , Baş Aslan Ummuhan
Published: December 2021

Bu araştırmanın amacı, bedenin ve zihnin gevşemesinde önemli bir yaklaşım olan ve aynı zamanda bilinen en eski gevşeme yöntemlerinden biri olan yoganın duruş, nefes ve meditasyonu içeren uygulamalarının, ses eğitiminde öğrencilerin performansında herhangi bir fark yaratıp yaratmadığını araştırmaktır. Yöntem olarak, nicel araştırmanın önemli bir türü olan deneysel araştırma ve onun bir deseni olan, ön test-son test kontrol gruplu desen kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu, Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy Üniversitesi Müzik Eğitimi Anabilim Dalında 2019-2020 eğitim öğretim yılında 1. sınıfta okutulan ses eğitimi dersini alan öğrencilerden seçkisiz atama yöntemi ile belirlenen 18 (9 deney-9 kontrol) öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada veriler, Ertek Babaç ve Dalkıran (2019) tarafından geliştirilen “Bireysel Ses Eğitimi Performans Ölçeği” aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Araştırmacı tarafından yoga eğitmenliği eğitimi alınarak, deney grubunda bulunan öğrencilere 10 hafta boyunca haftada 1,5 saat olmak üzere Hatha Yoga duruş, nefes ve meditasyon pratikleri uygulatılmıştır. Yoga pratiklerine henüz başlamamış öğrencilerin ses performansı ile 10 hafta boyunca ses eğitimi dersi ile eşgüdümlü olarak ilerleyen yoga pratiği sonundaki ses performansları arasında anlamlı bir fark olup olmadığı araştırılmıştır. Yoga pratiğine katılmayıp yalnızca ses eğitimi dersine devam eden kontrol grubunda bulunan öğrencilerin de 10 haftalık süreç sonundaki değişimleri ölçülmüştür. Bunun yanı sıra yoga pratiği yapan deney grubu öğrencileri ile yapmayan kontrol grubu öğrencilerinin arasında herhangi bir fark olup olmadığı araştırılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonuç bölümünde, yoganın, deney grubundaki öğrencilerin performansları üzerinde, alt problemler doğrultusunda ele alınan hedef davranışların tamamına katkısının olduğu ortaya koyulmuştur. Deney-kontrol grubu karşılaştırılmasında ise, eseri doğru artikülasyon ve diksiyon ile seslendirme ve eseri doğru notasyonla seslendirme hedef davranışları dışında kalan tüm hedef davranışlarda anlamlı bir fark bulunmuştur. Performansın bütününe bakıldığında yoganın, ses eğitiminde öğrencilerin performans becerilerinin artmasını desteklediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
Achieving physical examination competence through optimizing hands-on practice cycles: a prospective cohort comparative study of medical students
Authors: Zhang Zinan , Tang Zhenwei , Wang Fang , Yu Jingjia , Tang Youzhou , Jiang Boyue , Gou Yue , Lu Ben , Tang Anliu , Tang Xiaohong
Published: December 2021

Background

Deliberate practice (DP) was proposed for effective clinical skill training, which highlights focused, repetitive practice and feedback as the key points for practice. Although previous studies have investigated the effect of feedback in DP, little is known about the proper repetitive cycles of clinical skills training especially in physical examination (PE) training.

Methods

We drew learning curves and designed a comparative study to find out the optimal number of hands-on practice cycles, an important aspect of DP, in abdominal PE training for medical students. A comparative study was conducted to validate the optimal number of hands-on practice by dividing students into two cohorts including Cohort A (high-frequency hand-on training) and B (low-frequency hand-on training).

Results

The learning curve study of 16 students exhibited a threshold of four repetitive practices when 81.25% students reached the competence score. A total of 74 students’ final exam scores were collected for analysis. Students in Cohort A (4–5 PEs) scored significantly higher than those in Cohort B (≤3 PEs) (84.41 ± 11.78 vs 76.83 ± 17.51] in the final exam (P = 0.030)).

Conclusion

High-frequency practice can improve students’ competence of abdominal PE skill. We recommend four cycles of hands-on practice for each student in a training course like PE training.

Pollutants emitted into the atmosphere, such as ozone, which raises temperature, contributes to climate change. This may have inverse effect on the local air quality. However, other Particulate Matter (PM) components can heat or cool the temperature. Weather and environmental pollution can cause headaches, heart disease, respiratory problems, acid rain, fever, and other symptoms that are harmful to both people and the environment. This research center on development of smart sensors to monitor our environment's exposure to weather and environmental contaminants. This was made possible by developing an interface between data collection and monitoring equipment that interfaced with a website and analysis software. The online portal records and analyzes the measured data from the monitoring device in accordance with the WHO (World Health Organization) standard. It also compares the measured data from various locations. The main microcontroller in this work is an Arduino UNO which helps in data collection; and the CoolTerm application which helps exchange data with hardware connected to serial ports with the microcontroller. The system monitors environmental changes such as temperature and precipitation. The data is displayed as graphical statistics on the web site's design in the form of web portal information.

Offices on the Federal Polytechnic Ile Oluji campus, in addition to the production powerhouse, are used to test the equipment. Each dataset was generated in three minutes and compared to the WHO standard. People who live near generators, according to the findings, face a greater risk to their health.

Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) declared Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), as a pandemic in January 2020. The morbidity and mortality associated with the disease are enormous COVID-19, with a multi-systemic pathology, exhibits thrombosis as a common manifestation. Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and thrombotic lesions have been reported in >70% and >30% of patients, respectively, who have died due to the COVID-19 and therefore, heparin is included in the treatment of moderate to severe cases. This retrospective study was undertaken to check the effectiveness of prophylactic therapy with heparin at reducing mortality in critically ill COVID-19 patients.

Methodology: The study included retrospective data from case records of 169 critically ill COVID-19 patients with or without comorbidities and an anticoagulant regimen. The data were thoroughly studied for demographic profile, comorbidities, type and dosage of anticoagulants, length of intensive care unit stay, and mortality rates.

Results: The male to female ratio of the study subjects was 125/44 (76%/24%). Patients with comorbidities were critically ill as compared to those with none (140/29), and diabetes mellitus was the most common comorbidity, found in 99 patients. Mortality rate was significantly higher in patients who had not received any anticoagulant (p = 0.015) and in patients who had received unfractionated heparin (p =0.036) as compared to those who received low molecular weight heparin (LMWH).

Conclusion: The prophylactic administration of heparin improves the survival rate of the critically ill covid 19 patients is more when compared with the patients who do not receive heparin. LMWH is very effective in reducing thrombotic complications and mortality in critically ill COVID-19 patients.

Introduction: Tuberous sclerosis is a rare hereditary disease that creates noncancerous tumours in the brain, kidneys, heart, liver, eyes, lungs, and skin. Seizures, intellectual incapacity, developmental delays, and behavioral issues are just a few of the warning symptoms. Like Skin problems, and lung and kidney problems. A hereditary mutation in one of two genes causes TSC.TSC1 and TSC2 are two distinct TSC types. The proteins hemartin and tuberin, which act as tumour suppressors and govern cell proliferation and differentiation, are produced by these genes. [1].

Background: Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare genetic disorder that affects 1 in every 6,000 to 1 in every 18,000 people. It's a life-threatening condition caused by the formation of benign tumors/lesions in several organs. Tumors can affect organ growth and/or function and are frequent in the brain, heart, skin, kidneys, and lungs. The number of organs affected, as well as the size of tumours inside each organ, varies greatly. As a result, the disease's symptoms are extremely variable and unexpected [2].

Case Presentation: A 35-year old female admitted to AVBRH on date 25/11/2021 with the chief complaint of fever chills, nausea, vomiting and itching and back skin over mouth and eye surrounding area since in 10 days.
