Perceptions of Specialty Palliative Care and Its Role in Pediatric Stem Cell Transplant: A Multi-Disciplinary Qualitative Study
Authors: Collins Griffin , Beaman Hannah , Ho Alvin , Hermiston Michelle , Cohen Harvey , Dzeng Elizabeth
Published: June 2021

Background Consultation of specialty palliative care remains uncommon in
pediatric stem cell transplant (SCT) despite growing evidence that early
integration of palliative care improves outcomes in patients with
advanced cancers or undergoing SCT. Little is known about how
multidisciplinary pediatric SCT teams perceive palliative care and its
role in SCT. Procedure We conducted semi-structured interviews of
members of a multi-disciplinary SCT team to understand their perceptions
of palliative care, how specialty palliative care is integrated into
SCT, and to identify barriers to increased integration. Eligible
participants included physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, social
workers, and child life specialists. Data was analyzed using thematic
analysis. Results Four major themes were identified. First, SCT team
members held a favorable perception of the palliative care team. Second,
participants desired increased palliative care integration in SCT.
Third, participants believed that the palliative care team had
insufficient resources to care for the large number of SCT patients
which led to the SCT team limiting palliative care consultation. And,
finally, the lack of a standardized palliative care consultation process
prevented greater integration of palliative care in SCT. Conclusions SCT
team members held a favorable perception of palliative care and saw a
role for greater palliative care integration throughout the SCT course.
We identified modifiable barriers to greater palliative care
integration. SCT teams who desire greater palliative care integration
may adapt and implement an existing model of palliative care integration
in order to improve standardization and increase integration of
specialty palliative care in SCT.
The Paradox of Precision and the Weapons Review Regime
Authors: Andresen Joshua
Published: June 2021

As aerial weapons become more accurate and precise, they paradoxically expose civilians to greater harm. They make the use of military force feasible where previously it had not been. While these weapons are subject to legal review to certify that they are capable of being deployed in a discriminate manner, weapons review practice in the US and UK lends cursory approval to weapons that are as likely to harm civilians as enemy combatants. This article argues that a robust contextualized review of weapon’s effects on civilians and combatants is both legally required and in states’ strategic security interests.
Autonomous Weapons Systems, Artificial Intelligence, and the Problem of Meaningful Human Control
Authors: Schwarz Elke
Published: June 2021

In this article, I explore the (im)possibility of human control and question the presupposition that we can be morally adequately or meaningfully in control over AI-supported LAWS. Taking seriously Wiener’s warning that “machines can and do transcend some of the limitations of their designers and that in doing so they may be both effective and dangerous,” I argue that in the LAWS human-machine complex, technological features and the underlying logic of the AI system progressively close the spaces and limit the capacities required for human moral agency.

The study was conducted in the period 2015-2017 in the experimental field of IRGR "K. Malkov” Sadovo. The elements of productivity of 24 varieties and lines of triticale (X. Triticosecale Wittmacks) were studied. The degree of variation of each of the indicators of productivity is determined by calculating a coefficient of variation. The results obtained show that the most variable indicator is the weight of grains in the central spike whereas the slightest variation is observed in the parameters of test weight and 1000 grains weight. Hierarchical cluster analysis and analysis of the main components (PC-analysis) are applied to assess the genetic similarity and distance between the different varieties. As a result of the clustering the studied samples were divided into six groups. The varieties Trit 32/6 and KS 60 are characterized with the greatest genetic proximity, followed by line BGR 30071 with the Bulgarian variety Rozhen. The largest genetic difference was reported between line BGR 30816 and variety KT 81. The applied analysis of the main components shows that the components PC 1, PC 2 and PC 3 explain 70.6% of the total variation of all traits by genotypes. The largest numbers of samples (9) belong to component 3, as four of them are located in the negative values of PC 3, and the other five genotypes are in the positive values of PC 3. Component 1 is represented by eight samples, and component 2 includes seven triticale genotypes.

Grain legumes have positive impact on global food and nutrition security. Grain legume collections, maintained at the Institute of Plant Genetic Resources - Sadovo are represented by 10 botanical genera. The aim of the current study is to evaluate the phenotypic diversity of local accessions from five grain legume collections (Vicia faba, Pisum sp., Lathyrus sp., Cicer arietinum and Lupinus sp.) and to select the best ones with potential to be used under different agro-climatic conditions. The assessment of morphological and agro-biological traits was performed according to the International Descriptor for each crop. The structural elements of the yield, such as the number of pods and the mass of pods and grains per plant, grains size, etc. have a significant impact on the productivity of the grain legumes. The variability of agronomic and biological traits has shown high genetic diversity in evaluated grain legume collections and increased the possibilities for their use in the breeding-improvement activity. Based on phenotyping assessment several grain legume accessions were distinguished as starting breeding materials: from pea collection - two cultivars and two local populations; from chickpea collection - four populations; from faba bean collection – eight populations; from bitter vetch collection – two accessions; from grass pea collection - six genotypes; from white lupin collection – two accessions. The study of the materials from the collections was focused on the interests of researchers, breeders and producers.

The article presents studies on the influence of the microbiological product “Trichodermine”, bio-organic fertilizers and growth regulators based on humic acids „Nagro”, „Stimix”, „BioLife” and mineral fertilizers (NPK) on the biological activity of the soil, the degree of disease, caused by Alternaria capsici-annui Savul & Sandu and pepper yield in field production. It has been found that the differences in the "Soil Biological Activity" indicator depends on the number of micro-organisms, the composition (species diversity) and the percentage of major Micromycetes. Organic products help optimize soil health and reduce the total content of fungal colonies, and in the Micromycetes composition the fungus Trichoderma sp. is more common. When mineral fertilizers are introduced, the number of fungal pathogens and toxin producers increases. A higher total yield was obtained in variants with biological treatment. The increase in yield is between 9% and 29%.

Published: June 2021

Seeds from the maize /Zea mays L./ variety Kneja 310 and landrace B0E0170 were subjected to controlled accelerated aging test (AA) for 72 hours and 120 hours at temperature 41±0.5°C and 100.0% air relative humidity. For the control variant, not subjected to the АА test seeds were used. After AA test, all seed variants were germinated and were used for an analysis of germination energy. The emerging coleoptiles were studied for the presence of anti-oxidative response (MDA, hydrogen peroxide, cell membrane stability), and morphological parameters and relative chlorophyll content were assessed as well as. A vegetation pot experiment was performed with the AA-72h variant and 15-day seedlings were morphologically and physiologically assessed. The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between the vitality of the seeds and their stress response to the controlled AA test, which simulated low-temperature storage. The germination rate of seeds and the fresh and dry weight of coleoptiles following ageing treatments were decreased. These results correlated well with the increased accumulation of total hydrogen peroxide and MDA content and the decrease of cell membrane stability. Negative changes were observed in chlorophyll content index, fresh and dry weight and leaf area of 15-day seedlings in pot trial. It was concluded that the controlled accelerated ageing could be used as a model for estimation of seed deterioration in maize after long-term storage.

The possibilities of using the biological products “Trichodermine” (Trichoderma viride Pers ex Fr.), “Gliocladine” (Gliocladium virens Miller et al.) and the mycorrhizal activator “Rhizo VAM Basic” (Glomus intraradices Schenck&Smith) for control of fungal diseases in garden pea and and their impact on the biometric indicators of young plants were studied. Biological preparations based on antagonistic fungi Trichoderma viride and Gliocladium virens improve the phytosanitary condition of the plants, the mycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices stimulates the formation of the root system and tuber formation, but has a weak fungicidal effect against Fusarium wilt in this culture. The experiment was performed on an artificial infectious background by Fusarium oxysporum Schlecht. f. sp. pisi (Hal.) Raillo, isolated from diseased plants. The effect of application of the biological products“Trichodermine” and “Gliocladine” is 34-68%, from “Rhizo VAM Basic” - 8% compared to the infected control. The combined application of biological preparations with fungicidal and mycorrhizal action significantly protects the crop from infection with the causative agent of Fusarium wilt of garden pea.
The Spillover Effect of Audit Firm Office Acquisition on the Audit Quality of the Existing Client Base

Published: June 2021

SYNOPSIS

This study investigates accounting firm office acquisitions. It explores whether office acquisitions affect post-acquisition office audit quality, particularly whether there is a spillover effect on the existing client base of the acquiring office. We capitalize on a unique circumstance: the 2002 acquisition of Arthur Andersen (Andersen) offices by other audit firms. This setting involves a set of offices in each of the remaining large international audit firms that acquired entire Andersen local practices and a set of offices that did not acquire Andersen practices. Using a within-audit firm matched sample and a difference-in-differences research design, we find robust evidence of higher audit quality post-acquisition among the audits of existing clients of the acquiring offices. These findings extend the literature on office audit quality and provide initial evidence of the impact of audit firm office acquisitions on the existing client base.

Auditor Response to Estimated Misstatement Risk: A Machine Learning Approach
Authors: Hunt Emily , Hunt Joshua , Richardson Vernon J. , Rosser David
Published: June 2021

SYNOPSIS

We investigate whether misstatement risk estimated using advanced machine learning techniques—hereafter, estimated misstatement risk (EMR)—approximates auditors' risk assessments in practice. We find that auditors price EMR and auditor turnover is more likely to occur when EMR increases, indicating that EMR is associated with auditors' risk assessment. We also find evidence that EMR is positively and significantly associated with audit fees and auditor switching for companies with Big N auditors but not for other companies, suggesting that Big N auditors are more responsive to risks captured by EMR. Additional analyses reveal that companies switching auditors when EMR increases are more likely to engage non-Big N auditors. Surprisingly, we find little evidence that the association between audit quality and EMR differs by auditor type. Our findings are consistent with the notion that the documented association between audit fees and EMR primarily reflects a risk premium in our setting.

Authors: Fisher Ingrid E. , Hughes Mark E. , Janvrin Diane J.
Published: June 2021

The use of textual analysis methods in the accounting profession has grown markedly over the past decade. Accounting professionals as well as business and accounting accreditors have called for accounting students to acquire an increased depth and breadth of knowledge of digital data analytics. This case enables accounting instructors, who have no previous background or experience in textual analysis, to introduce students to the use of textual analysis in accounting and allows students to conduct simple analyses using freely available software and documents retrieved from publicly available SEC filings. This case is designed for auditing, accounting information systems, fraud examination, and financial statement analysis courses, but it can be used in any accounting course in which the content of relevant documents is subject to examination.

Published: June 2021

We conduct experiments with Big 4 auditors and business students to investigate psychophysiological responses to Big Data visualizations and the effects of visualization techniques on auditor judgment and audit quality. Results of the first experiment using pupillometry, eye gaze measurements, and automatic facial expression analysis indicate that different visualization techniques produce significant differences in the level of cognitive and emotional arousal. A second experiment investigates whether visualizations that were demonstrated to promote higher and lower levels of arousal have differential effects on auditor judgments and audit quality. In addition, the second experiment investigates whether the reliability of data sources underlying visualizations affect auditors' judgments. Results indicate that visualizations that increase arousal can enhance auditors' ability to recognize disconfirming evidence and incorporate this evidence into their decisions.
Institutional Dual-Holders and Managers' Earnings Disclosure
Authors: Peyravan Leila , Wittenberg-Moerman Regina
Published: June 2021

We investigate how institutional (non-commercial bank) investors that simultaneously invest in a firm's debt and equity (dual-holders) influence the firm's voluntary disclosure. Because institutional dual-holders trade on private information gleaned through lending relationships, we predict and find that borrowers increase earnings forecast disclosure to reduce these investors' information advantage following the origination of loans with their participation. We also show that the increase in disclosure is stronger when the access to a borrower's private information endows dual-holders with a greater information advantage and when the consequences of this access are likely to be more pronounced. We further find that institutional dual-holders earn excess returns when trading equity of non-guider firms following loan origination, but not when firms issue guidance, confirming that earnings disclosure helps level the playing field among investors. Our findings highlight that firms actively use disclosure to mitigate the adverse effect of dual-holders on their information environment.
The Diabetes-Specific Risk-Taking Inventory: Piloting a New Measure for Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes
Authors: Wasserman Rachel M. , Schwartz David D. , Anderson Barbara J.
Published: June 2021

OBJECTIVE

We sought to develop and pilot a new measure, the Diabetes-Specific Risk-Taking Inventory (DSRI), to assess unhealthy risk-taking behaviors among adolescents with type 1 diabetes.

Methods

Thirteen diabetes health care providers, 30 adolescents with type 1 diabetes (aged 15–19 years, 60% female, mean A1C 8.7% [72 mmol/mol], and 33% on insulin pumps), and the adolescents’ caregivers rated the perceived riskiness of each item on the DSRI. Adolescents completed the DSRI, for which they reported how often they engaged in 34 behaviors that could place them at risk for acute complications of type 1 diabetes or out-of-range blood glucose levels. Adolescents also completed the risk-taking subscale from the Risk-Taking and Self-Harm Inventory for Adolescents, and parents completed the parent-proxy Diabetes Management Questionnaire. Mean A1C during the previous year was obtained via medical chart review.

Results

Results indicated good content validity and feasibility for using the DSRI in a research context, as 100% of adolescents who consented to the study completed the measure. The DSRI was positively correlated with general risk-taking and negatively correlated with diabetes management, indicating preliminary evidence of convergent validity. The DSRI also correlated with A1C.

Conclusion

This pilot study extends our previous work in developing a conceptual model for illness-specific risk-taking. The DSRI is a promising new measure to assess illness-specific risk-taking, including unhealthy risk-taking behaviors, for adolescents with type 1 diabetes.
Efficacy and Safety of Bleaching Gels According to Application Protocol
Authors: Borges AB , de Abreu FS , Mailart MC , Zanatta RF , Torres CRG
Published: June 2021

Objectives:

This study evaluated bleaching efficacy, enamel microhardness, and roughness of highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide (HP) gels (35%–40%) using different application protocols. Gel decomposition and pH alteration were also analyzed.

Methods and Materials:

Bovine enamel/dentin specimens were divided into groups according to the bleaching gel—Pola Office Plus (POP–SDI, 37.5% HP), Opalescence Boost (OPB–Ultradent, 40% HP), Whiteness HP (WHP–FGM, 35% HP)—and application protocol—single application (SA) and multiple application (MA) during the in-office session. Deionized water was used in control group (no bleaching). Thus, seven final groups were obtained (n=15/group). Color (CIE L*a*b*), surface microhardness (SMH), and roughness (Ra) were assessed before/after treatments. The pH of gels was measured, and HP concentration was determined with potassium permanganate titration method in different times. Data were submitted to analysis of variance and Tukey tests (5%).

Results:

All gels presented similar and clinically acceptable bleaching efficacy (ΔE>2.7) for both SA and MA, as well as no significant differences for SMH and Ra comparing the two protocols in the same gel. Peroxide decomposition significantly increased with time, but final gel concentrations were still high after 45 minutes (32.29% POP; 38.45% OPB; and 32.74% WHP). The pH decreased over time (initial - after 45 min) for WHP (6.83±0.07 - 5.81±0.06), but minimal alterations were observed for POP (8.09±0.09 - 7.88±0.07) and OPB (7.82±0.11 - 7.87±0.07).

Conclusions:

Peroxide decomposition was very low for all gels tested, and pH remained stable for POP and OPB gels. Bleaching protocol did not influence whitening efficacy and hazardous effects over enamel, thus potentially there was no clinical significance. Therefore, for the products tested, there is no evidence for recommending the gel change during the bleaching session.

Authors: Jevne Kari Sjøhelle , Ulleberg Inger Heidi , Øien Ingvil
Published: June 2021

The field of interprofessional education is complex and intricate. Students from different professions, who have distinctive knowledge bases, develop a mutual understanding of how to work together in future professional environments. The aim of this article is to explore case-based teaching (CBT) as an approach to develop and provide effective teaching, preparing students for future work. Specifically, the article focuses on why and how CBT may be a useful approach in interdisciplinary and interprofessional education. A traditional scoping literature review is conducted to provide a broad overview of the field. The analysis ended up with three themes: (1) the theoretical foundations for CBT, (2) the reasons given for using CBT and (3) the process of case production. The article discusses how CBT, by taking complex real-world situations as a point of departure, may facilitate active learning strategies that promote relational agency and critical thinking through meta-learning. In this way, CBT prepares students to handle problems that they are likely to encounter in their professions.
Correlation of Retinopathy of Prematurity with Oxygen Saturation
Authors: S Praveen , A Waris
Published: June 2021

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is an abnormal vascular proliferative disease of retina that affects preterm infants. It is a leading cause of childhood blindness worldwide despite improvement in neonatal care and management. Earlier ROP was found to be associated with oxygen therapy only. Now it was concluded that aetiology of ROP was multifactorial but three factors have shown significant association with ROP: low gestational age (GA), low birth weight (BW), prolonged exposure to supplementary oxygen following delivery. Several investigators reported that lower oxygen saturation targets at young post-gestational ages with increased oxygen saturation targets at older post gestational ages reduced the incidence of ROP. However previous clinical studies are not conclusive.

Product branding is said to be a veritable tool that can be adopted in achieving customer patronage in the highly competitive market. Hence, this study assesses the implication of product branding on customer’s patronage. The specific objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of brand perception, service quality and customer relationship management on customer’s patronage. A survey research design was used for the study, with a structured questionnaire administered to collect data from the firms’ customers. The inferential statistical tool of regression analysis was adopted to analyze the formulated hypotheses. Findings revealed that brand perception has a significant effect on customer patronage (R2 = 0.308, P=0.000), it also shows a significant effect of service quality (R2 =0.623, P=0.000) on customer patronage, and a significant effect of customer relationship management (R2 = 0.585, P=0.000) on customer patronage. The study concluded that product branding if properly managed can influence customers patronage, and also having the ability to increase the customers base and profitability of the firm. It was therefore recommended that firms should give proper consideration to issues of customer relationship management; as well as enhancing the product service experience of customers so as to improve the perception of the brand in the mind of customers to foster brand loyalty.

Nusa Lembongan islands, Bali have a potential of coral reef diversity. Coral reefs have both ecological and high economic potential so that they are widely used. The economic benefits of coral reefs make these ecosystems very vulnerable to pressure from human activities. One of these human activities is the use of coral reefs in diving tourism activities. This research aimed to determine suitability and carrying capacity of coral reef ecosystem on Nusa Lembongan Island so that it can be recommended to manage coral reef ecosystem strategies to support the use of diving tourism. This study was conducted on six dive sites as observation points Observations on coral reef ecosystems were carried out using the intercept transect (LIT) method, and reef fish observation was carried out using the fish visual census method. Water quality sampling will be done in situ. Diving suitability was carried out by estimating the tourist suitability index (IKW) of six parameters, namely the brightness of the waters, coral community cover, coral life form, reef fish species, coral reef depth and current. The tourism suitability index value for the diving tourism category obtained was 74.07% (Jack Mangrove); 57.41% (Crystal Bay); and 61.11% (Manta Bay). The value for each observation point is included in the appropriate category of 50% -75%. It can be interpreted, that all observation points which are dive sites in Nusa Lembongan have supported diving tourism activities.Keywords: Tourism Suitability Index; Diving; Nusa lembongan.

Pendahuluan: Penuaan menyebabkan perubahan struktur dalam tubuh manusia. Salah satunya adalah perubahan struktur otot sehingga menyebabkan penurunan kekuatan otot. Menurunnya kekuatan otot anggota gerak atas maupun bawah dapat mempengaruhi kemampuan fungsional seseorang karena terjadi penurunan kekuatan genggaman dan kecepatan berjalan. Memasuki masa lansia menyebabkan seseorang sulit untuk beradaptasi dengan lingkungan dan terlalu menutup diri dengan dunia luar. Padahal aktivitas fisik penting untuk dilakukan karena aktivitas fisik mampu meningkatkan kekuatan otot. Tujuan Penelitian: Mencari hubungan variabel aktivitas fisik terhadap kekuatan genggaman dan kecepatan berjalan pada lansia di Kelurahan Panjer. Metode: Penelitian menggunakan studi observasi analitik secara cross sectional, dilakukan di Panjer dari Maret 2019 – Mei 2019. Penelitian ini menggunakan subjek sebanyak 100 orang.  Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan mengukur aktivitas fisik menggunakan kuesioner Baecke Index, kekuatan genggaman menggunakan Hand-Grip Dynamometer dan pengukuran kecepatan berjalan dengan mengukur waktu berjalan pada lintasan sepanjang 4 meter. Hasil: Didapatkan p sebesar (p=0,000) untuk kekuatan genggaman dan (p=0,001) untuk kecepatan berjalan dari hasil uji chi-square.

Frozen shoulder idiopatik adalah gangguan pada sendi glenohumeral bahu yang mengalami peradangan sehingga menyebabkan nyeri kronis, membatasi gerakan sendi bahu dalam melakukan aktivitas fungsional. Beberapa metode yang dapat menurunkan gejala yang ditimbulkan diantaranya mobilization with movement (MWM), hold relax exercise (HRE) dan active resistance exercise (ARE) dengan mengurangi rasa nyeri dan disabilitas pada sendi bahu serta meningkatkan kekuatan otot pada area bahu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membuktikan kombinasi MWM dan HRE lebih baik daripada kombinasi MWM dan ARE dalam menurunkan disabilitas bahu pada pasien frozen shoulder idiopatik. Penelitian menggunakan metode eksperimental dengan pre test and post test two group design. Pelaksanaan di klinik Fisioterapi Denpasar pada bulan Januari sampai Februari 2020. Sampel berjumlah 18 orang terdiri dari 11 orang perempuan dan 7 orang laki-laki yang dibagi secara acak dalam 2 Kelompok perlakuan. Kelompok I diberikan kombinasi MWM dan HRE dan Kelompok II diberikan kombinasi MWM dan ARE. Alat ukur yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah SPADI. Hasil penelitian yaitu kombinasi MWM dan HRE dapat menurunkan disabilitas pada frozen shoulder idiopatik dengan nilai signifikansi p < 0,05 dengan nilai 74,18 menjadi 50,16, kombinasi MWM dan ARE dapat menurunkan disabilitas pada frozen shoulder idiopatik dengan nilai signifikansi p < 0,05 dengan nilai 72,61 menjadi 57,86. Simpulan dari penelitian ini adalah kombinasi MWM dan HRE lebih baik daripada kombinasi MWM dan ARE dalam menurunkan disabilitas bahu pada kasus frozen shoulder idiopatik dengan nilai signifikansi p < 0,05.

Setiap remaja putri akan melewati masa pubertas yang ditandai dengan terjadinya menstruasi. Pada saat fase menstruasi biasanya disertai rasa nyeri, keluhan ini disebut dengan dismenore. Nyeri yang dirasakan dapat menggangu aktivitas sehari-hari. Ada beberapa metode yang dapat diberikan untuk menurunkan nyeri yang dirasakan saat haid. Diantaranya adalah metode abdominal stretching, core strengthening, dan pilates exercise yang bertujuan untuk menurunkan nyeri dan meningkatkan kekuatan otot disekitar perut hingga panggul. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui mana yang lebih efektif antara metode abdominal stretching dan core strengthening excercise dibandingkan  metode abdominal stretching dan pilates exercises dalam menurunkan intensitas dismenore primer. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan eksperimental dengan pre test and post test contol group design. Lokasi penelitian dilakukan di SMA Dwijendra Denpasar,Bali dengan jumlah sampel 28 orang yang memiliki kategori dismenore primer dengan derajat nyeri sedang hingga berat, dibagi menjadi 2 kelompok perlakuan. Kelompok I diberikan abdominal stretching dan core strengthening exercise, kelompok II diberikan abdominal stretching dan pilates exercises. Alat ukur yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Visual Analouge Scale (VAS). Sebaran data dalam penelitian ini menggunakan analisi Wilcoxon dan Man Whitney karena data tidak berdistribusi normal. Hasil dalam penelitian ini yaitu metode abdominal stretching dengan core strengthening exercise dapat menurunkan intensitas dismenore primer dengan nilai signifikan p = 0,001 dengan nilai median VAS 6 menjadi 4 metode abdominal stretching dengan pilates excercise dapat menurunkan intensitas dismenore primer dengan nilai signifikan p = 0,001 dengan nilai median VAS 6 menjadi 4. Antara kelompok  I dan  kelompok II, tidak didapat perbedaan pre test (P=0,178), post tes (P=0,173), dan perubahan (P=0,561) Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah tidak ada perbedaan efektivitas antara metode abdominal stretching dengan core strengthening dan abdominal stretching dengan pilates exercises dalam menurunkan intensitas dismenore primer.

Pendahuluan: Penurunan kemampuan fungsional pada pasca Total Knee Replacement  (TKR) yakni gangguan pada lutut yang mengalami kekakuan akibat peradangan pasca operasi dan dengan pemberian latihan Progressive Resistance Exercise (PRE)  hanya meningkatkan kekuatan otot tungkai namun belum mampu menstimulasi proprioceptive dalam membantu meningkatkan kemampuan fungsional. Tujuan Penelitian: untuk membuktikan penambahan teknik Prorioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) pada latihan standar fisioterapi lebih meningkatkan skor kemampuan fungsional dibandingkan penambahan Progressive Resistance Exercise (PRE) pada latihan standar fisioterapi pada pasien pasca operasi total knee replacement. Metode: Penelitian eksperimental dengan desain pre - post test grup. Jumlah sampel penelitian 20 orang dan terbagi ke dalam dua kelompok. Kelompok 1 mendapat perlakuan Progressive Resistance Exercise (PRE) dan latihan standar fisioterapi, sedangkan Kelompok 2 mendapat perlakuan Prorioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) dan latihan standar fisioterapi, pengukuran kemampuan fungsional dengan WOMAC Test  pasca Total Knee Replacement (TKR). Hasil: Paired t-test pada ke dua kelompok dengan nilai signifikansi p = 0,001 (p < 0,05) dan hasil independent t-test pada ke dua kelompok dengan nilai signiikansi p = 0,001 (p<0,05) sehingga hasilnya pada ke dua kelompok terjadi peningkatan secara bermakna. Simpulan: Penambahan teknik PNF pada latihan standar fisioterapi lebih meningkatkan skor kemampuan fungsional dibandingkan dengan penambahan teknik PRE pada latihan standar fisioterapi pada pasien pasca operasi total knee replacement di Denpasar.

Can the Other Speak? Mediated Counter-Narratives of Tatars and Mappilas
Authors: K.P. Abdullakkutty
Published: June 2021

Tatars in Russia and Mappilas in India, two imagined communities of dif- ferent socio-cultural, ethno-national and geo-political identities, have more contrasts than commonalities. Their similarity lies in the constructed otherness of Tatars and Mappilas regarding the origin, spread, and survival of these two communities. Orientalist historiography, literary imageries, and ideological intrusions have constructed a common ‘other’ whose stereotyped media images and biased narratives are now part of everyday discursive practice. Rejecting these age-old intellectual narratives and media images, a new wave of intelligentsia among the Tatar and Mappila communities brings counter-narratives on the history, tradition, and everyday life of these communities. Media, especially cinema, have become a major tool for reinterpreting Tatar and Mappila identity and culture and challenging the distorted images of these subaltern communities.
КУЛЬТУРА. ОСВІТА. ОСОБИСТІСТЬ: МЕТОДОЛОГІЧНИЙ ТА СВІТОГЛЯДНИЙ ПОТЕНЦІАЛ ПЕДАГОГІЧНОЇ КУЛЬТУРОЛОГІЇ
Authors: БІЛЬЧЕНКО Євгенія
Published: June 2021

Метою статті є комплексний аналіз відносно нової теоретичної та прикладної парадигми знання – педагогічної культурології – у контексті загальної структури культурології як науки, що складається з двох крил: соціального й філософського. Методологічними засадами дослідження стали позитивізм, критична теорія, феноменологія, герме- невтика, філософія діалогу та універсальна етика. Наукова новизна. Установлюється мета (інкультурація), структура (соціально-філософська, раціонально-емоційна) і подвійний предмет педагогічної культурології: освітні виміри культу- ри й культурні виміри освіти крізь призму проблеми люди- ни та її місця в загальному процесі трансляції цінностей. Виявляється відмінність між педагогічною культурологією та культурологією освіти за змістом (освіта) і характером (трансляція цінностей). Установлюються три предметні грані педагогічної культурології: суб’єкт, культура та вихо- вання, відображені в її трьох головних методологічних дже- релах: філософська антропологія, культурологія, педагогіка. Автор статті виявляє, що від соціальної культурології педагогічна культурологія успадкувала орієнтацію на крити- цизм, позитивізм, феноменологізм, раціональність, колективізм і соціалізацію, притаманні для «інтелектуала», який когнітивно пізнає знання щодо культури. Філософська культурологія при- вносить у педагогічний дискурс універсалізм, герменевтику, діалогічність, емоційність, індивідуалізм та інкультурацію, притаманні для «інтелігента», який аксіологічно переживає культурні смисли. Єдність соціальності й філософічності відображається в єдності суб’єктивних та об’єктивних форм культури й у єдності думки і дії, теорії і практики у вихованні. Висновки. Головною світоглядно-методологічною рисою педагогічної культурології є гетерохронність у репрезентації культури – зрівняння в часі унікальних істинних подій, завдя- ки чому можливе формування особистості як універсального етичного суб’єкта, здатного до критичного мислення, діалогу, культурної творчості. Педагогічна культурологія фіксує сутність культури як освіти й освіти як культури. Культура становить світоглядну передумову, внутрішній зміст і кінцевий продукт освіти. Освіта становить форму реалізації культури, головною функцією якої є трансляційна функція як основа для кумуляції та інтеракції культурних цінностей.
