Authors: Serafimova Vesela
Published: April 2022

Depending on the objective of assessing the competitiveness of wine-producers, different methods can be applied. Methods for assessing the competitiveness of enterprises in the wine sector may be based on one or several indicators, on one or several parameters. Тhe factors most influencing the competitiveness of wine producers are: terroir, quality and price of wines, productivity, financial stability, growth, innovation, production and marketing flexibility, corporate image, advertising, adaptability to the market, etc. Ranking wine producers based on their competitiveness is essential to properly assess and analyse the state and position of each at a particular point in time, judging the outcomes of past events on this basis and laying a good foundation for planning future efforts. The aim of the article is to study the methods and methodology for analysis and assessment of competitiveness of wine producing enterprises.

Review question / Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of scalp acupuncture for poststroke depression for the first time, and the results of this systematic review will be helpful for clinicians to use scalp acupuncture in the treatment of PSD. Condition being studied: Post-stroke depression (PSD) is one of the most common psychological sequelae of stroke, which is a state characterized by low mood and aversion to activity. It is one of the main obstacles in the process of stroke rehabilitation, which has a detrimental impact on functional recovery and quality of life and even increases mortality. Although the pathogenic factors of PSD are complex and diverse, it is now widely believed to involve complex interactions between neurobiological dysfunctions, psychosocial distress and biological factors. Despite increasing awareness and clinically based research on PSD, drugs to relieve and treat symptoms have made only limited gains. The use of antidepressants is accompanied by various unavoidable adverse effects, including headache, nausea, restlessness, and sexual dysfunction. A previous meta-analysis demonstrated that acupuncture can be safe and effective for the treatment of post-stroke depression. However, there is a lack of systematic reviews to evaluate the efficacy and safety of scalp acupuncture, which is a commonly used acupuncture modality in the treatment of PSD. Consequently, this study will assess the efficacy and safety of scalp acupuncture therapy for PSD compared to other treatments.

Le syndrome de Glissement
Authors: Wieder Catherine
Published: April 2022

Aux côtés du syndrome de glissement, concept gériatrique français, les Anglo-saxons décrivent le failure to thrive, dont l’acception plus large semble moins spécifique. Il signifie littéralement « échec, défaillance à croître, à prospérer, à bien se porter » et désigne un fléchissement global associant amaigrissement, dénutrition, perte d’activité, déficit cognitif et infléchissement dépressif. Il est d’évolution moins brutale et sa létalité est moindre. Différents modèles explicatifs sont proposés : la dépression est souvent mise en avant ainsi que la dimension suicidaire. Le syndrome de glissement est aussi pensé comme une conduite régressive, un état post-traumatique ou un état de désorganisation psychosomatique. Les rapprochements avec la dépression sont conçus dans diverses dimensions. Ils se situent sur le plan de la symptomatologie, du lien de causalité et du processus étiopathogénique. Le texte est suivi d’une vignette clinique permettant de faire le lien entre « confinement » et « glissement ».
E-Learning as an Alternative Platform for Enhancing Knowledge and Managerial Skills: Evidence from Ahmadu Bello University in Sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: PAUL MAICHIKI MANASSEH , ABDULKADIR JAMILU , KOGI CHAT LOT
Published: April 2022

The advancement in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has revolutionised activities across all facets of human endeavours including learning and management. e-learning is an evolving educational platform and the scheme like other ICT-inclined sectors is facing series and peculiar challenges in Sub-Saharan Africa. These challenges range from poor infrastructure, poor funding, poor/low oriented masses, inadequate government policies, poor infrastructure such as electricity, technological deficiency on the part of service providers among many others. Nevertheless, e-learning has proven to possess the capacity to offer an alternative learning environment to boost knowledge and by extension enhance managerial skills, especially for those whose job schedules offer them limited time to travel over some relatively long distances to acquire knowledge through the conventional system. Thus, using the Ahmadu Bello University Distance Learning Centre (ABU DLC) in Nigeria as a case study, the paper argues that, the prospects offered by the e-learning platform can improve on Nigeria’s educational sector and individual managerial skills as well as organisational outputs. Therefore, using primary and secondary/documentary information, the paper stresses that e-learning in Nigeria though challenging, can add value to both individuals and the country’s educational sector and by extension boost managerial skills. When adequate resources among others are committed and properly harness to e-learning, it can comfortably serve as an alternative platform for learning, especially for interested individuals as obtainable in advanced countries in the contemporary global society.
Sözlükbirimlerin Ulusal-Kültürel Konotasyonları
Authors: BEYLEROVA Ayten
Published: April 2022

Ulusal kimlik, her millete özgü milli düşünce, kültür, dil, din, tarih, vatanseverlik, milliyetçilik gibi kavramları içerir, yani ulusal kimliği, milletin maddi ve manevi kültürü temelinde şekillenir. Ulusal kimliğin bir parçası olan dil ve kültür birbiriyle yakından bağlantılı ve bağımlıdır. Kültür sadece toplumun geleneklerine, inançlarına ve tasavvurlarına değil, aynı zamanda dil ve konuşmaya da yansır. Düz anlamsal (denotatif) ve yan anlamsal (konotatif) yönler kendilerini dil birimleri anlamında gösterirler. Bazen farklı dillerde, belirli kelimeler aynı anlama, ancak farklı konotasyonlara sahiptir. Bu, ulusal kültürün özelliklerini yansıtır. Herhangi bir kelimenin konotasyonu, o kelimeyi kullanan milletlerin zihniyet ve kültürlerine bağlı olarak farklı şekillerde kendini gösterebilir. Örneğin, kurt kelimesinin farklı dillerde farklı konotasyonları vardır. Ruslar için kurt, kötü insanları temsil eder, ancak Türk halkları için en yüksek övgü, yenilmezlik, cesaret, korkusuzluk, özgürlük, bağımsızlık ve vatanseverlik ile eş anlamlı, Türkçülüğün sembolü, eski Türklerin ana totemlerinden biri olarak olumlu bir çağrışıma (konotasyona) sahip olduğu gibi, aynı zamanda kurnaz bir insan, zulüm ve açgözlülük sembolü olarak da olumsuz bir çağrışıma sahiptir. Kanaatimizce “kurt” kelimesinin dilimizde olumsuz bir konotasyonla kullanılması, Rus dilinin daha sonraki dönemlerdeki etkisinden kaynaklanıyor olabilir. Çeçenlerde de “kurt” zoononimi olumlu anlamda kullanılır, çünkü Çeçenya'da kurt karakterine özel bir saygı duyulur ve ulusal bir sembolizm görevi görür.

Authors: Rahman Md. Aliur , Ullah Rahmat , Asif Sharif Adnan
Published: April 2022

Bangladesh is a democratic country and to ensure democracy the presence of good governance is a must. One of the most colossal hinders in case of ensuring such governance is Corruption.  Today in Bangladesh there is freakish corruption at all levels. The root factor behind corruption is secrecy. If we want to assure transparency, and accountability in government there is a need to crack the corruption by breaking the deep dark chain of secrecy. Right to Information Act, 2009 in that case is an effective weapon to fight against corruption as it creates an opportunity for citizens to cooperate with the officials and institutions to look over the activities of the government. This paper examines the effectiveness of the Right to Information Act, 2009 as a tool for combating corruption in Bangladesh and citizens' perception of this act. Content analysis, case study, and survey research method has been used in this paper. The respondents for the survey were categorized on the basis of registered citizens of two districts in Bangladesh. The results argue that the RTI act can be an effective weapon to battle against corruption in Bangladesh and ensure the right to information for every citizen can accumulate all the development demands. Citizens have also agreed that ratification of the RTI Act in Bangladesh is a bright sign which is dedicated to setting up transparency and accountability in the public and other institutions. It is also seen that there is still lacking cases of knowing the act among the citizens. They don’t know how to use the act properly.
Agricultural Land Conversion, Poverty and Adaptation Failure of Peasants in Industrial Transition in Rice Center Areas-Indonesia

Published: April 2022

This study discusses the conversion of agricultural land in Karawang Regency, West Java, which was known as the national rice granary for almost a century. However, the role of agriculture has decreased drastically since the regency was designated as an industrial area replaced by the secondary sector. This study aims to explain the actions of farmers during and after land conversion in rice-producing areas in the Muslim community, Indonesia. A quantitative method and data analysis with cross-tabulation using google sheets were used. The results showed that the conversion of agricultural land involves capital and political power. Peasants are actively persuaded by accomplices in different ways to give up land. Lack of support and guidance by government officials and investors, causes land conversion to take place less transparently and it is detrimental to farmers. About 30 percent are getting poorer and failing to adapt in the process of transition to an industrial society. Around 28 percent become temporary workers or disguised unemployment. Therefore, a transparent conversion process, fair compensation, as well as effective and targeted government with business strategies are needed to prevent farmers from falling into poverty. Land conversion only fosters potential conflicts that can turn into riots at any time without such strategies.

Authors:   , Williams Teruko
Published: April 2022

Practice Problem: A hospital in the Sacramento County area seeking the ANCC Pathway to Excellence Program® designation determined upon performing a gap analysis that Element of Performance 2.8, a peer evaluation program, was absent, thus creating a deficiency in the fulfillment of the requirements for the designation. PICOT: The PICOT question that guided this project was: In nurse leaders (P) how does the development of a formal peer evaluation process (I) compared to no formal process (C), influence the performance outcome score of self-efficacy (O) over 8 weeks (T)? Evidence: The evidence demonstrated that if a peer evaluation process is implemented among nurse leaders and the outcome is measured using a pre- and post-survey, it can affect self-efficacy scores of those nurse leaders. Intervention: A formal peer evaluation program for nurse leaders was developed to include a pre- and post-survey tool measuring self-efficacy. Post implementation the facility policy was amended to include the peer evaluation process at the annual performance review. Outcome: Nurse leader participants (n = 22 pre-survey, n = 16 post-survey) completed the new peer evaluation process including self-efficacy scoring. There was a noted increase in the post self-efficacy scores overall after the implementation of the peer evaluation process. Project results were not statistically significant but were clinically significant. Conclusion: Project results replicated literature findings that implementing a peer evaluation process correlates to an increase in nurse leaders’ self-efficacy scores. This program development, implementation, and policy amendment is beneficial to the hospital which will continue to move forward with obtaining the ANCC Pathway to Excellence Program® designation.

Published: April 2022

Practice Problem: Kidney failure affects 0.1% - 0.2% of the general population, yet the dialysis expenditure is 5%-7% of total healthcare budget spending. The increased incidence of chronic disease will result in more End Stage Renal Disease patients on dialysis along with more comorbidities. Thus, it is imperative for health organizations to have well established protocols and guidelines to manage the care of the dialysis patient. PICOT: The PICOT question that guided this project was: in patients receiving dialysis at an acute care dialysis unit (P), does utilizing a Standardized Policy for Quality Reporting on Dialysis Water Testing and Dialysis Machine Disinfection (I) compared to no policy (C) affect infection rates within eight weeks? Evidence: The evidence supported the need to optimize microbiological surveillance procedures, test pure water to ensure infection prevention practices, and ensure water safety protocols with monitoring and testing. Intervention: Collaboration with the organization’s dialysis peer group, regional lab, infection prevention, and dialysis educator helped to develop a regional standardized policy, as well as build the water testing standards into the regional lab’s information technology platform. Outcome: A regional standardized policy based on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) standards was developed and integrated into the regional lab’s information technology platform in efforts to ensure quality of care and safety. The project positively impacted clinical practice and improved infection rates, in which staff were compliant and competent after being trained. Conclusion: It is important to have strategies to reduce the risk of infection associated with dialysis; therefore, the project emphasized the importance of having a standardized policy to mitigate infections and ensure both quality of care and patient safety.

Published: April 2022

Psychogenic dermatitis is a chronic skin disease characterized by self-mutilation behavior that results in partial or complete hair loss (alopecia) and ulcers or injuries on the skin. In domestic cats, anxiety or stress can also generate excessive licking of the coat and, in this species, pheromones have been used to reduce stress and treat compulsive behavior. The aim of this study is to report the use of pheromone therapy (fraction F3 of the feline facial pheromone) in a group of five margay cats (Leopardus wiedii) kept at Sorocaba Zoo that were diagnosed with psychogenic dermatitis. The pheromone was sprayed at the rooms that held the five individuals for 60 days. After treatment, four of the five animals showed full recovery, which suggests that pheromone therapy is a useful fool to treat psychogenic dermatitis in margay cats.

Juvenile cellulitis (JC) is a rare skin disease of puppies. Its recognition is important, since spontaneous resolution is rare an untreated animals can die. It is probably an immune-mediated disorder, characterized by sudden onset of skin lesions on the face, ear and submandibular lymphadenomegaly. This article presents a literature review and two case reports of JC: a two-month-old female dachshund and a fifty-day male pointer, both with alopecia, edema, crusting, papules and pustules in the face, blepharitis, enlarged lymph nodes and genital edema. Treatment was based on the administration of prednisone and cephalexin. Soon after treatment onset, the dachshund began to present otitis and the pointer, tetraparesis and bacterial folliculitis. There was remission of signs three weeks and seven weeks after therapy onset, but scars remained. The recognition of the disease enables the use of immunosuppressants that, if instituted early, improve the prognosis.

Published: April 2022

Intervertebral disk disease is one of the most common neurological conditions in dogs; thoracolumbar disk is a usual cause of neurological dysfunction in this species. Several clinical and surgical treatments have been described, ranging from acupuncture and confinement to the use of anti-inflammatory, analgesic and muscle relaxant drugs, as well as the employment of varied surgical decompression techniques. The partial thoracolumbar lateral corpectomy is an alternative and effective surgical technique to treat chronic and acute thoracolumbar disk disease. It allows adequate access to the floor of the spinal canal for removal of disc material with minimal handling of the spinal cord, allowing wide and effective decompression. This review deals with anatomical, surgical and biomechanical aspects of this technique, and discusses its indications, advantages and disadvantages.

Published: April 2022

Gastric foreign bodies are found in dogs and cats of all breeds and ages. However, according to the literature and to routine clinics and hospitals, young animals ingest foreign bodies more commonly than adults. In addition to vomiting, anorexia, depression and abdominal pain may also be present. Radiography is a complementary test method that is most often helpful in diagnosing the presence of these objects. A gastrostomy is indicated when removal of the foreign body cannot be achieved. Lead is a toxic metal that is extremely harmful when absorbed by the body. This work reports the case of a mongrel bitch that ingested large amount of lead parts used as weight in angling. The patient underwent surgery for removal of the foreign material, and failed to show symptoms of heavy metal poisoning.

Published: April 2022

The domestic cat is a target species in terms of cruel acts. Studies have shown that cats suffer from two main types of malicious acts: intentional poisoning by pesticides and traumatic lesions; the latter may be of accidental or non-accidental nature. The most frequently observed traumas in veterinary medicine are of mechanical order and can be caused by various instruments. Between 1998 and 2012, 90 victims of traumatic lesions were necropsied by the Animal Pathology Service of FMVZ-USP. Among these, 41.1% were female and 27.8% were male; gender information was not available for the remainder 31%. 67.8% of the animals were from blunt force trauma; in 36.7%, from stab wounds, in 3.3%, from incised-stab wounds and in 5.6% from other types of injuries. In recent years, the demand for animal necropsies with forensic purposes has increased, and careful examination of the trauma is key to elucidating cases concerning suspicion of animal abuse.

A straightforward approach to novel 2-dialkylamino-4H-pyrido[1,2-a][1,3,5]triazin-4-ones synthesis is presented. The construction of these compounds was achieved by one-pot synthesis involving condensation of 2-aminopyridine or 2-aminopicolines with ethoxycarbonylisothiocianate, followed by amination of the thioureas, and finally thermal ring closure of resulting guanidines. This allowed access to the unreported title heterocycles. We described an efficient, facile, one-pot synthesis of a novel 2-dialkylamino-4H-pyrido[1,2-a][1,3,5]triazin-4-ones in order to obtain a library of pyridotriazines which will be used as building blocks in medicinal chemistry.

Pulmonary lymphangiectasia a rare cause of chylothorax: A case report
Authors: Conner James , Mahon Richard , Camps Juan
Published: April 2022

Background: Pulmonary lymphangiectasia (PL) is a rare disease characterized by dilation of the pulmonary lymphatic vessels. PL should be considered in the differential diagnosis in infants with pleural effusion, especially in the presence of chylothorax.
Case Presentation: A 3-week-old neonate presented with tachypnea, cough, and reluctance to feed. Work-up found bilateral chylous pleural effusion. The patient was initially managed conservatively with bilateral tube thoracostomies and octreotide, however output from chest tubes did not subside. A left thoracotomy was performed with wedge biopsy of the apical segment of the left inferior lung lobe and multiple titanium clips were used to control thoracic duct. Postoperatively the patient continued to have high chest tube output, despite placement of clips. Histology of the biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of congenital pulmonary lymphangiectasia.
Conclusion: Pulmonary lymphangiectasia is a rare cause of chylothorax. The treatment is often challenging as found in the index case.

Reading literacy is a basic requirement in the process of teaching and learning. It is one of the important skills needed to be mastered, along with writing skills, speaking skills, and listening skills. The term literacy is not a foreign thing in today’s world of education. In this paper, researchers will focus on reading literacy and the relation of environmental factors based on Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Theory and literacy development. This theory introduces five systems in the ecology of human development, which are microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, macrosystem and chronosystem. Through this paper, the researcher will try to understand how the environment surrounding the students’ lives will affect their psychological, personality and intellectual development. A good relationship between students and individuals around their surrounding will also make them psychologically balanced human beings. It can also help students to improve their academic performance. In conclusion, a positive environment will help students to achieve excellence, while a negative environment will hamper all such efforts.

Leaders should have compiled an annual program related to teachers, of course, namely: Teaching programs such as, among others, the need for teachers in connection with transfers and others, division of teaching tasks, procurement of textbooks, teaching tools and visual aids, procurement and development laboratory, library procurement and development, learning outcomes assessment system, extracurricular activities and others. Student programs such as the terms and procedures for new student admissions, student grouping, class division, guidance and counseling, health services and others. Staffing such as acceptance and placement of teachers, division of duties of teachers and supervisors, welfare of teachers and employees, transfers and promotions and so on.

Finance includes procurement and financial management for various planned activities, both money from the government and foundations. Equipment includes renovation of physical infrastructure and addition of workspaces, study rooms and so on. Many factors must be considered in planning such as economic, social, political and cultural factors, laws and regulations, the development of science and technology and the existence of other Islamic boarding schools. Planning is always related to the future which is always changing rapidly, without planning educational institutions, including Islamic boarding schools, will lose opportunities and cannot answer questions about what will be achieved, how to achieve it. Therefore, planning must be made so that humans can be focused on the goals to be achieved.

School is an institution where a student studies formally and is a forum for students to determine the direction or steps they want to take and to determine the goals they want to achieve for their future. School is the second place after home for students to study. At school, students will exchange ideas with colleagues and receive good attention from educators (teachers). Educational activities in schools are always related to human development efforts, so the success of education is very dependent on the human element. Because the human element determines the success or failure of education. One of the human elements that determine the quality of education is the teaching staff. The personality of the educator is a measure of the personality formation of students in education. Educators must be able to be role models that should be followed by their students at school as figures who have good personalities.

Para que assim, verifique-se os fundamentos de um turismo educacional para propiciar a prática de uma atividade turística conservadora e que tenha a adesão da sustentabilidade. Para a realização desta proposta, foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico, na qual foram apurados trabalhos nos Periódicos da Capes e Google Acadêmico com as seguintes temáticas: exploração de territórios para atividades turísticas; turismo educacional; turismo e sustentabilidade; e, atividade turística no Monte Carmelo. Sendo emergidas informações que eram tratadas com a natureza qualitativa e com base no método de Análise de Conteúdo de Bardin (2011). A região tem potencial turístico elevado, devido ao fato de possuir área de vegetação preservada e também ser situada ao lado do rio São Francisco, de modo que também possui um mirante com o patrimônio cultural de uma capela e da comunidade em si, por ser tradicional e que obtém de vários costumes relacionados principalmente a religiosidade. Contudo, ainda há necessidade de explorar o potencial turístico da região, através de uma maior divulgação e abordagem de materiais sobre detalhes do território.
MEDITATION IN THE LABYRINTH: INTERACTION BETWEEN COGNITION AND PROPRIOCEPTION

In various parts of the world, work the maze theme as recreation and as an anti-stress resource for the troubled reality of large centers. Hospitals develop experiences with labyrinths as a tool to support the treatment of diseases. Henry Head proposed the term "body scheme", explaining that each individual constructs a model of himself, which constitutes a pattern in which postures and movements are composing themselves in a manner consistent with this pattern. It proposed the integrality between the different body perceptions and the influence of unconscious aspects in these experiences. Upon receiving sensory information, the CNS processes them in the context of previously learned responses and performs an automatic postural correction response, which is guided or expressed through the mechanical response that is supported. There are studies considering the contributions of various brain regions to adaptive behavior, and often conceptualize systems that govern brain-behavior relationships within separate and distinct domains. From a neurological point of view, behaviors can be differentiated between cognitive, attention/executive, language, visuospatial, learning and memory and sensory and motor domains.
