Estamos en guerra
Authors: Chacón Serrano Fernando
Published: February 2021

El conflicto armado de El Salvador (1980-1992) ha sido uno de los más largos y sangrientos de la historia reciente de Latinoamérica. Entre sus particularidades destaca la devastación de comunidades enteras por operativos militares que obligaron a su población a desplazarse, para luego ser reconstruidas al término de este. Ya han transcurrido 28 años de su fin formal, tiempo en el cual han emergido nuevas generaciones que no vivieron tal acontecimiento, pero que se han socializado dentro de las comunidades afectadas, en interacción con las víctimas directas (familiares y vecinos). A partir del contexto anterior, se realizó una investigación que tuvo por objetivo comprender la construcción de memorias del conflicto armado en jóvenes de una comunidad desplazada y explorar la forma en que sus memorias son un marco para interpretar las exigencias de su presente y su futuro. Mediante metodología cualitativa, se utilizaron las técnicas de relatos de vida y fotoelicitación con diez jóvenes, quienes crecieron después de 1992 en la comunidad Nueva Trinidad (Chalatenango), territorio reconstruido por exrefugiados. En general, se observa que los/as jóvenes, pese a no haber vivido la guerra, construyen memorias propias. En esa construcción emerge una trama narrativa que sigue un esquema de conflicto/guerra (bandos encontrados en constante disputa), no solo en referencia al pasado, sino también al presente y al futuro. La trama se alarga más allá del fin formal del conflicto, y sigue tejiéndose hasta alcanzar su vida actual. La memoria de la guerra les permite, entonces, examinar su presente y aseverar la continuidad de esta situación bélica, aunque con otras modalidades y personajes; además les sirve como orientación ética y política en la vida, desde la cual critican el mal proceder de sus gobernantes locales. A futuro, relatan que esta memoria les servirá para saber qué hacer si se repite otra guerra como la pasada.

STUDI KITAB SUNAN ABI DAUD
Authors: Pardosi Fakhrurrozi
Published: February 2021

Salah satu kitab Sunan Arba‟ah ialah kitab Sunan Abi Daud. Kitab ini merupakan salah satu kitab yang menghimpun koleksi hadis Nabi saw. Penulisnya terkenal sebagai sosok ulama yang terpercaya karena integritas kepribadian dan kapasitas intelektualnya. Isi kitab ini penting dikaji, difahami untuk kemudian dijadikan sebagai pedoman hidup. Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hadis-hadis dalam kitab ini umumnya berkualitas hasan dan merupakan hasil sortiran dari 500.000 menjadi 4.800 hadis saja, melalui penyeleksian yang sangat ketat. Kitab ini disusun dalam rentang waktu yang longgar. Meskipun sudah rampung di usia Abu Daud yang kedua puluhan, tetapi penambahan dan pengurangan terus dilakukan. Kitab ini memuat hadis-hadis hukum, yang disusun dengan sistematika fikih. Kitab ini juga banyak menyita perhatian umat Islam: ada yang mensyarah, meringkas dan bahkan menjadi pusat kajian para peneliti. Sebagaimana kitab lain, kitab Sunan juga memiliki nilai positif negatifnya. Di antara ulama yang mengkritik kitab Sunan adalah Imam Ibn al-jauzi, dengan alasan menurutnya kitab tersebut memuat beberapa hadis maudu`. Namun kritikan tersebut telah disanggah oleh Jalaluddin as-Suyuti.

Parlameter – a Corpus of Contemporary Slovene Parliamentary Proceedings
Authors: Fišer Darja , Ljubešić Nikola , Erjavec Tomaž
Published: February 2021

The paper presents the Parlameter corpus of contemporary Slovene parliamentary proceedings, which covers the VIIth mandate of the Slovene Parliament (2014-2018). The Parlameter corpus offers rich speaker metadata (gender, age, education, party affiliation) and is linguistically annotated (lemmatization, tagging), which boost research in several digital humanities and social sciences disciplines. We demonstrate the potential of the corpus analysis techniques for investigating political debates. The corpus architecture allows for regular extensions of the corpus with additional Slovene data, as well as data from other parliaments, starting with Croatian.
Debating Evil
Authors: Van Lange Milan , Futselaar Ralf
Published: February 2021

We are proposing a method to investigate changes in historical discourse by using large bodies of text and word embedding models. As a case study, we investigate discussions in Dutch Parliament about the punishment of war criminals in the period 1945-1975. We will demonstrate how word embedding models, trained with Google’s Word2Vec algorithm, can be used to trace historical developments in parliamentary vocabulary through time.
Sustainability of Digital Editions
Authors: Pančur Andrej
Published: February 2021

The contribution is based on the position that, with regard to digital editions, the highest possible degree of digital sustainability of data, presentations, functionalities, and programme code should be ensured. This represents a significant challenge, especially in case of smaller digital humanities projects with limited financing, which does not allow for the long-term maintenance of technically-demanding digital editions. The alternative solutions facilitated by the swift development of static websites in the recent years are presented in the contribution. Digital editions based on the TEI have been successfully included in the SIstory portal repository as static websites, employing basic XML (XSLT) and web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript). All the static websites also have the possibility of displaying dynamic content.
Data Mining Workspace Sensors

Published: February 2021

While social sciences and humanities are increasingly including computational methods in their research, anthropology seems to be lagging behind. But it does not have to be so. Anthropology is able to merge quantitative and qualitative methods successfully, especially when traversing between the two. In the following contribution, we propose a new methodological approach and describe how to engage quantitative methods and data analysis to support ethnographic research. We showcase this methodology with the analysis of sensor data from a University of Ljubljana’s faculty building, where we observed human practices and behaviours of employees during working hours and analysed how they interact with the building and their environment. We applied the proposed circular mixed methods approach that combines data analysis (quantitative approach) with ethnography (qualitative approach) on an example of a “smart building” and empirically identified the main benefits of the new anthropological methodology.

El realismo metafísico, clave de la cultura europea
Authors: Barrio Maestre José María
Published: February 2021

En el discurso filosófico europeo el realismo es un concepto que viene siendo conflictivo desde hace tiempo. A partir de Kant la afirmación de que hay algo más allá de nuestras representaciones es esencialmente problemática. El mundo ya no se ve como el don de Dios a la criatura humana, sino como un «dato» que el hombre se da a sí mismo. Sin embargo, la actitud contemplativa ha hecho posible que Europa haya sido escenario de un gigantesco desarrollo cultural. A diferencia de las filosofías que pretenden «poner» la realidad, una filosofía realista, que entiende que la realidad no es tesis o constructo, sino que es a priori de todos mis constructos, está en las mejores condiciones para generar respeto, equidad, y por supuesto para reconocer algo tan humano como el amor.
La historiografía hoy: cambios en la relación historiador-fuentes
Authors: Bel Bravo María Antonia
Published: February 2021

En los últimos años hemos asistido al derrumbamiento de los grandes paradigmas objetivistas que apuntalaban a las escuelas historiográficas dominantes: Annales, la historiografía marxista o la historiografía liberal británica. Le han sucedido una multiplicidad de caminos y de orientaciones que han vuelto a poner sobre el tapete la cuestión central de si es posible lograr un conocimiento objetivo sobre el pasado, sobre la sociedad, sobre los procesos de cambio. En este estudio se trata de analizar la figura del historiador, quien, al interpretar el pasado, es consciente de que su interpretación está afectada también de historicidad, lo que le descarga de todo tipo de responsabilidad, pues ninguna interpretación podrá aspirar jamás a la validez universal, sino que, por referirse a acciones de sujeto construidas por otro sujeto, es siempre provisional, expuesta a la crítica de las nuevas generaciones que, sin duda, mirarán con otros ojos el pasado.
Un Papa para un mundo nuevo
Authors: Pérez-Soba Juán José
Published: February 2021

Al recordar a san Juan Pablo II en el centenario de su nacimiento no se trata de hacer un ejercicio de memoria sino de interpretar una herencia viva que está presente entre nosotros. Su herencia nos pide saber extraer toda la vida que contiene. Su legado tiene un claro sentido sapiencial que connota una convicción interior y se convierte en una misión. Se podría resumir la aportación profunda de su propuesta desde la impronta bíblica de la verdad: propone la verdad como luz, no como una sentencia que se afirma, una misma luz ilumina a todos los hombres. Por eso, la perspectiva de san Juan Pablo II tiene la fuerza de la novedad que nace de dentro y que es capaz de “inventar” ante las nuevas situaciones. Su experiencia Conciliar había sido decisiva en ese punto y le hacía ver que debía “volver a las fuentes” como principio permanente de renovación eclesial. Entendió con toda claridad que la cuestión de fondo era la verdad, y que la auténtica fidelidad al Evangelio consiste en sacar de él ese tesoro de novedad en respuesta a los acontecimientos históricos que nos toca vivir.
La existencia de una competencia real en la oferta de servicios universitarios en España
Authors: Lostao Crespo Fernando
Published: February 2021

Universidades públicas y privadas compiten en España por el mismo mercado con unas reglas de juego muy distintas, ya que las públicas tienen financiación directa de sus costes aproximadamente en un 75%. Esta financiación no tiene la consideración de ayudas públicas prohibidas para el derecho europeo, dado que la educación subvencionada en la UE entra en la categoría de Servicio No Económico de Interés General. Sin embargo, y a sensu contrario, la educación pagada por el alumno, si es un Servicio Económico, al que, por lo tanto, debería aplicarse toda la normativa que tiene por objeto facilitar la prestación de los mismos, en donde el principio de autorización tendría que tener un carácter subsidiario. Pero muy al contrario, la legislación española, en especial la autonómica, está plagada de procedimiento de autorización, que limitan de modo artificial el desarrollo de las universidades privadas, conteniendo algunos de ellos requisitos expresamente prohibidos. Además, el sistema de financiación de la universidad en España es poco equitativo, poco eficiente, y no ayuda a la promoción de la competencia interna, permitiendo además que se den situaciones de abuso de posición de dominio, al utilizar las universidades públicas la financiación para fines distintos a la enseñanza e investigación oficial. En contraste, tenemos otros sistemas universitarios, como el británico, que financia directamente a los alumnos en forma de préstamos, que sólo deben comenzarse a devolver cuando los alumnos alcanzan un determinado nivel de ingresos.

Novelty as a Parameter for Using Arguments in Persuasive Communication
Authors: Kok Gerjo
Published: February 2021

Background: In this paper, a series of studies investigating one of the parameters for effectiveness in relation to using arguments in persuasive communication messages is described: the novelty of arguments.Method: The first study involves the elicitation of arguments, the second study entails the identification of novel arguments, and the third study focuses on the influence of novel versus familiar arguments. The main hypothesis for this series of studies was: Messages with novel, valid and relevant arguments will lead to more attitude change than messages with familiar, valid and relevant arguments.Results: This hypothesis is supported by the data: messages with new, valid and relevant arguments led to more attitude change than messages with familiar, valid and relevant arguments.Discussion: To ensure the central processing of arguments, messages need to be new to the receiver.There is a need for more experimental studies identifying parameters for effectiveness in relation to various behavior change methods.

Authors: Elmoheen Amr , AlEssai Galal , Awad Salem Waleed , Thomas Stephen H
Published: February 2021

Objectives: The State of Qatar, in recent decades, underwent rapid, and substantial population growth. The country's emergency medicine (EM) needs are met by government-operated facilities of the Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC), which see virtually all acute-care cases in adults and children. In 2017, emergency departments (ED) established the Medical Toxicology Consulting Service (MTCS). This report aims to outline the MTCS's initial 100 cases’ experience and report salient findings that can help ongoing national strategies in meeting Qatar's medical toxicology needs. Methods: The study setting is Qatar, and the clinical base for the MTCS was the country's sole level I center, Hamad General Hospital. The MTCS group is composed of six physicians, all with advanced training in medical toxicology. The study group is composed of the first 100 consecutive cases of the MTCS registry. Registry entry was triggered by in-person consultation, telephone consultation, or identification of cases by daily MTCS rounder surveillance of the ED's electronic tracking board. Results: The MTCS institution identified a significant number of medical toxicology cases within the national hospital system. The trends of poisoning in this study showed a median age of 30 years (range 1–81 years, IQR 22–36 years). Fourteen patients were < 18 years old. The median interval between exposure and ED presentation was 2 hours, with a range of 15 minutes to 24 hours (IQR 1–3 hours). Most patients (71%, 95% CI, 51%–80%) were symptomatic because they were exposed. The MTCS recommended therapeutic intervention in over a third of cases (36%, 95% CI, 27%–46%). Decontamination procedures were ordered in 8% of cases (95% CI, 4%–15%) and specific therapies recommended in 13 cases (13%, 95% CI, 7%–21%). Conclusions: The study highlighted that the availability of experts in medical toxicology, such as with a poison center or toxicology consultation service, results in significant resource conservation in the management of poisoned patients.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the microbiota in middle cerebral artery thrombi retrieved in mechanical thrombectomy arising out of symptomatic carotid plaque within 6 hours of acute ischemic stroke. Thrombi were subjected to next-generation sequencing for a bacterial signature to determine their role in atherosclerosis.Materials and Methods: We included 4 human middle cerebral artery thrombus samples (all patients were male). The median age for the patients was 51±13.6 years. Patients enrolled in the study from Pacific Medical University and Hospital underwent mechanical thrombectomy in the stroke window period. All patients underwent brain magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and circle of Willis and neck vessel MRA along with the standard stroke workup to establish stroke etiology. Only patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis and tandem lesions with ipsilateral middle cerebral artery occlusion were included in the study. Thrombus samples were collected, stored at –80 degrees, and subjected to metagenomics analysis.Results: Of the 4 patients undergoing thrombectomy for diagnosis with ischemic stroke, all thrombi recovered for bacterial DNA in qPCR were positive. More than 27 bacteria were present in the 4 thrombus samples. The majority of bacteria were Lactobacillus, Stenotrophomonas, Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus, and Finegoldia.Conclusion: Genesis of symptomatic atherosclerotic carotid plaque leading to thromboembolism could be either due to direct mechanisms like acidification and local inflammation of plaque milieu with lactobacillus, biofilm dispersion leading to inflammation like with pseudomonas fluorescence, or enterococci or indirect mechanisms like Toll 2 like signaling by gut microbiota.
Analyzing Economic Sustainability of Market Gardening and Rice Farms in Southwest Benin under FAFA Project
Authors: Viagannou Fanougbo Avoce
Published: February 2021

The issue of agricultural sustainability remaining a topical concern. While agriculture being an important sector for the development of world economies. It has noted that implementing farming sustainably for a better contribution in the next generation economic development needed. The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the economic sustainability of the rice farms and market gardening benefiting from the FAFA MC project in the Southwest juxtaposed departments in Benin. Specifically, it is first of all a question of assessing, with regard to the two types of farms, which type of farming is the most sustainable. Next, to see whether rice farms are more sustainable than market gardening farms; and finally, to highlight the relationship between economic sustainability and environmental and social sustainability. The data used where obtained from FAFA MC database (2012). Finally, a data of 48 farms were used in the analysis. The analysis techniques have consisted of three steps these are: descriptive analysis, the principal component analysis applied and an ascending hierarchical classification applied. The analysis of data supported by SPSS 2.0, Excel 2013 and SPAD 5.5 software package. To understand the economic sustainability of the farms, the sustainability indicators methodology of IDEA was employed. Overall, it emerges from the analysis of results that the farms considered have limited economic sustainability (a score of 38.25 / 100); group farms prove to be more economically sustainable than individual farms and vegetable farms are more economically sustainable compared to rice farms. So, it seems important to encourage groupings of individual farmers, to clearly define property rights on agricultural land, to sensitize producers to the application of the principles of sustainable development.

Objective: Needlestick injuries are important for healthcare workers due to their morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to determine the risk group of needlestick injuries (NSIs) among healthcare workers, and possible risk groups, actions, and prevention practices of the healthcare workers. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 249 healthcare workers(doctors, nursing staff, laboratory technicians and the cleaning personnel) in a tertiary care pediatric hospital in Turkey. Results: Among the 249 healthcare workers, there were 35 physicians, 124 nursing staff, 11 laboratory technicians and 79 cleaning personnel. Seventy (28.1%) were males, 179 (71.9%) were females. The most common equipment associated with needlestick injury were syringe needles ( 54.6 %), followed by intravenous cannula (peripheral catheter) (17.2%). In 103 (41.2%) cases, the injury occurred during use of the needle, with the greater part of injuries (24%) while establishing a venous access. Most healthcare workers experienced hand injuries (%82.7). Conclusion: This study revealed that the high risk group for needlestick injury was nurses followed by the cleaning personnel. Healthcare workers did not take the necessary measures for themselves. Needlestick injuries could be prevented easily by increasing the use of needles when needed, increasing awareness for using devices with safety features, promoting education and safe work practices for needles and related systems.

Authors: Sülü Ayşe , Çay Ümmühan , Öztel Ocak Hikmet
Published: February 2021

Streptococcus acidominimus is rarely pathogenic in humans and is usually detected in veterinary science. In the literature, there are approximately 20 case reports that Streptococcus acidominimus is a human pathogen. They are pneumonia, pericarditis, infective endocarditis, sepsis, brain abscess and gradienigo syndrome. Only two of these cases were in the pediatric age group, one was infective endocarditis at the age of 15 years, other one was otitis media and gradenigo syndrome at the age of 12 years. There are no cases of invasive infection due to Streptococcus acidominimus in Turkey. Here, we report a case of infective endocarditis caused by Streptococcus acidominimus at 14 years of age.

Leishmania is a vector-induced endemic tropical disease caused by protozoans. The most common cutaneous, mucosal and visceral forms are the cutaneous form. The main drugs in treatment are pentavalent antimony compounds, but their side effects create limitation of use. Local antimony compounds are used primarily in the treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis. In some cases, alternative treatment modalities are required due to insufficient response to local treatment. Systemic amphotericin B treatment is one of the alternative treatments. In a patient who developed cutaneous Leishmania at 21 months and who did not respond with local meglumine antimoniate therapy, a total of 21 mg/kg dose of systemic amphotericin B was given intermittently and successful results were obtained.

Objective: Resistance to at least isoniazid and rifampicin, which are the most important drugs in TB treatment, is called multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). MDR-TB is a life-threatening condition that affects children as well as adults. Material and Methods: The medical records of children diagnosed with MDR-TB between June 2015 and October 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. Results: Seven female (77.8%) and two male (22.2%) patients were included into the study. Their mean age was 11.58 ± 4.23 years (3.75-15 years). Five patients (55.5%) had family members with MDR-TB. All of them had pulmonary tuberculosis. Acid-resistant bacteria (ARB) were observed in three (33.3%) patients, nucleic acid amplification tests were positive in four (44.4%) patients, and positive cultures were observed in seven (77.7%) patients. Seven patients had microbiologically and two patients had clinically confirmed MDR-TB. Five patients (55.5%) had isoniazid and rifampicin resistance, two patients (22.2%) had isoniazid, rifampicin and streptomycin resistance. A treatment protocol consisting of pyrazinamide, ethambutol, amikacin, protionamide and moxifloxacin was started after evaluating the culture results of the patients and family members. Cycloserine was added to the treatment protocol of four (44.4%) patients. The total treatment process was continued for 18 months. Conclusion: Management of childhood MDR-TB is a long and difficult process, but it is a preventable and treatable disease.

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate clinical pharmacist-led medication review service for hospitalized pediatric patients. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out between November 2017-April 2018 in an education and research hospital in Istanbul. Clinical pharmacist-led medication review was conducted by using Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe (PCNE) Classification V8.02 in hospitalized pediatric at general pediatric service. Potential drug-related problems (DRPs) were identified and classified. These DRPs were presented the physicians and the percentage of accepted recommendations by the physician were recorded. Results: Among forty-three patients (21 male and 22 female), the median age of them was calculated as 6 (3-36) months. Of them, 25.58% had 16 DRPs. The most common DRPs were associated with potential drug-drug interactions (n= 9); and dose selection (n= 5), which represented 56.25% and 31.25% of drug-related problems, respectively. It was observed that 63% of these problems were occurred during selection of drugs (at prescription level) according to PCNE classification. Of the clinical pharmacist’s recommendations regarding these DRPs, 87.5% were accepted by the physician. Conclusion: To optimize rational drug use, numerous studies related with clinical pharmacist-led medication review by using PCNE classification were present in adult patients; however, there was no sufficient studies conducted in pediatric patients. Clinical pharmacists have an important role in the classification of DRPs and to provide rational drug use in pediatric patients.
100 Years of the Police in the Face of Petty Offences
Authors: Sadło-Nowak Agnieszka
Published: February 2021

Police in the face of petty offences - that is, a few words about how the law of petty offences has developed and what role of the Police is (and has been) in fighting against them since Poland regained its independence. Petty offences are minor acts and there are many of them in the surrounding area . These are actions that are very burdensome for residents and affect their sense of security. A petty offence is the most frequently committed prohibited act that society is, and has historically been, confronted with, and the main reason for citizens to report to police officers. Petty offences, in particular those related to disturbing public order, quiet hours , littering and drinking alcohol in prohibited areas are, due to their nature and frequency, the most burdensome acts in society. These acts are often combined with each other and are committed simultaneously. Due to the prevalence of petty offences, they affect the general public. The Code of Petty Offences contains a catalog of penalties and a number of other ways of responding to petty offenses committed. The ways in which the police react and practice have changed over the years, just as the whole of the broader law of petty offences has changed.
Its development began after Poland gained its independence in 1918. The Constitution of March 1921 did not directly decide on the model of adjudication in cases of petty offences, but adopted an important principle - the citizen's right to a fair trial (Articles 72 and 98).
Pansofia Komeńskiego współcześnie: archaizm czy transgesyjna koncepcja człowieka w ujęciu uniwersalnym. Społeczne, edukacyjne i kulturowe wymiary
Authors: Dobrowolska Barbara
Published: February 2021

Artykuł jest próbą zestawienia uniwersalnej koncepcji J.A. Komeńskiego, jaką stanowi pansofia, z jedną ze współczesnych koncepcji psychologicznych. Jest nią transgresyjna koncepcja człowieka Józefa Kozieleckiego. Transgresja oznaczająca przekraczanie dotychczaso-wych granic materialnych, społecznych i symbolicznych ma swój osobowościowotwórczy wy-miar, niezależnie od kontekstów historycznych, kulturowych i społecznych, co potwierdza pan-sofia Komeńskiego. Analiza jej różnych wątków wskazuje na holistyczne, zintegrowane ujęcie wizji rozwoju człowieka poprzez kształcenie, które ma prowadzić do szeroko rozumianej aktywności i mądrości. Wiąże się to z przekraczaniem jego granic intelektualnych i społecz-nych najpierw w poznawaniu samego siebie. Ma służyć budowaniu świata i tworzeniu har-monii w życiu społecznym, ostatecznie przynosząc pozytywne konsekwencje społeczne. Opiera się to na „aktach tworzenia”, w których człowiek jawi się jako istota twórcza, zdolna do kreowania określonej kultury życia społecznego. Pansofia Komeńskiego jest uniwersalnym systemem, w którym człowiek poprzez swoją integralność, wynikającą z kształcenia i sprzyjających mu warunków społecznych, jest zdolny do naprawy świata. Liczne analogie między pansofią Komeńskiego i koncepcją transgresyjną Józefa Kozieleckiego pozwalają uznać XVII-wieczny system idei i wizji człowieka za aktualny współcześnie, niezależnie od dzielących obie koncepcje różnic społeczno-kulturowych.

Published: February 2021

The roots of today's education system stem from one of the most significant peda-gogists and thinkers, John Amos Comenius (1592-1670). His entire comprehensive and sys-tematic work represents a turning point, not only in the field of the development of pedagogy, as a science and its disciplines, but also in the field of the development of human thought in general. After a brief review of life and work of John Amos Comenius, the paper presents the basic concepts of pedagogical theory through the chapters they cover – his reforming and educational mission, contribution to the establishment and development of didactics and methodology of pedagogy, contribution to school, preschool and family pedagogy. Of particu-lar importance is the chapter that deals with pansophism as an ideological concept of univer-sal wisdom and pedagogy, because the central theme of the paper is focused on the relations-hip between pansophism and his overall pedagogical work. The aim of this paper is to theore-tically research the connection between these problems, as well as to understand their broa-der implications and current scientific achievements. The paper uses the method of theoreti-cal and historical analysis with the technique of content analysis of available and relevant historical and pedagogical sources and documents. The concluding remarks point to the im-portance of Comenius as a reformer important for the overall development of pedagogy as a science. His pansophism is permanently imprinted as a seal with a reflexive echo and reper-cussions on all later occurrences in the field of teaching and pedagogical educational activities. The ideas of John Amos Comenius that are practically tested and attested, carry a special strength and vitality even after three centuries, which makes him one of the true pedagogical classics.
Development of Subgrade Stabilization and Slab Undersealing Solutions for PCC Pavements Restoration and Repairs
Authors: Behnood Ali , Olek Jan
Published: February 2021

The loss of functionality and the development of distress in concrete pavements is often attributable to the poor subbase and subgrade conditions and/or loss of support due to the development of the voids underneath the slab. Subgrade soil stabilization can be used as an effective approach to restore the functionality of the subgrades in patching projects. This research had two main objectives: (1) identifying the best practices for soil stabilization of the existing subgrade during pavement patching operations and (2) identifying and developing new, modified grouting materials for slab stabilization and undersealing. Various stabilization scenarios were tested and showed improved performance of the subgrade layer. The use of geotextile along with aggregate course was found to significantly reduce the settlement. Non-removable flowable fill was also found to significantly reduce the subgrade settlement. Cement-treated aggregate and lean concrete provided the best performance, as they prevented formation of any noticeable settlement in the underlying subgrade.
Acquisition de compétences en coordination des greffes de cellules souches hématopoïétiques : efficacité d’un parcours d’apprentissage pour les infirmières novices
Authors: Page Cheryl , Cordon Charissa , Wong Jiahui
Published: February 2021

L’augmentation du nombre de patients admissibles à recevoir une greffe de cellules souches hématopoïétiques (GCSH) (ACO/CCO, 2017) entraîne un besoin accru d’infirmières spécialistes, la coordination des GCSH étant un rôle hautement spécialisé; il n’y a pourtant que peu de recherches portant sur la formation des infirmières. Habituellement, cette formation se fait par préceptorat, sans processus d’orientation formel. Objectifs : Pour la présente étude pilote, un parcours d’apprentissage et des outils pédagogiques ont été élaborés en complément d’une approche systématique normalisée de la formation du personnel, et ce, dans le but d’améliorer la qualité des soins. Méthodologie : Huit infirmières, sans expérience en coordination des GCSH, ont participé à l’étude et rempli les évaluations de suivi. Elles ont été évaluées avant l’intervention pour vérifier leurs connaissances ainsi que leurs lacunes pour chaque sous-rôle de la coordination de l’allogreffe et de la greffe autologue. Après cette évaluation, les infirmières recevaient une trousse d’étude autonome personnalisée respectant les étapes du parcours d’apprentissage avec un outil d’évaluation des compétences. Fondée sur les compétences, la formation se faisait « par modules », c’est-à-dire que les infirmières devaient maîtriser une compétence avant de passer à la suivante. Les infirmières étaient évaluées à l’aide du modèle de Kirkpatrick (2006) avant et après la période d’orientation pour voir l’évolution de leurs connaissances et de leurs comportements en coordination des greffes. Résultats : Les participantes ont réagi favorablement aux outils et disent avoir grandement enrichi leurs connaissances et leurs compétences en coordination des greffes après la période d’orientation. Pour compléter la présente étude pilote, d’autres recherches devraient examiner l’utilisation d’un parcours d’apprentissage pour guider les nouvelles infirmières en GCSH dans leur rôle de coordination.
Building competency in hematopoietic stem cell transplant coordination: Evaluating the effectiveness of a learning pathway for nurses new to this role
Authors: Page Cheryl , Cordon Charissa , Wong Jiahui
Published: February 2021

There has been an increased need for highly skilled nursing staff trained in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) care driven by the increase in transplant eligible patients (CCO, 2017). There is a lack of literature pertaining to orientation to HSCT coordination, a highly specialized nursing role. Historically, orientation to HSCT coordination has been preceptor based without a formal orientation process. Objectives: For this pilot study, a learning pathway and educational tools were developed and evaluated to support a standardized and systematic approach to the staff education and to improve quality of care. Methods: Eight nurses new to HSCT coordination participated in this study and completed the follow-up evaluations. Nurses were assessed before the intervention to identify knowledge gaps for each sub-role of allogeneic and autologous stem cell coordination. Following the assessment, nurses received a tailored self-directed learning package mapped to a learning pathway and a competency evaluation tool. A competency-based “building-block” training approach was used in which a new skill was added only after a previous skill was mastered. Utilizing the Kirkpatrick (2006) model, nurses were evaluated pre- and postorientation to assess changes in both knowledge and in behaviour relating to transplant coordination. Results: Participants reacted favourably to these tools and reported a significantly higher level of knowledge and competency in the transplant coordination role following orientation. Further research on the use of a learning pathway to guide the orientation of nurses to the HSCT coordination role would complement this pilot study.

The Wellness Beyond Cancer Program is part of a tertiary care hospital in Ontario, Canada. It provides cancer survivors with information and resources needed to self-manage their follow-up care (i.e., learn relevant information and skills to adapt to life with a chronic illness) after active cancer treatment (i.e., chemotherapy, radiation). A program evaluation was conducted on the two-hour survivorship education class (one component of the overall Wellness Beyond Cancer Program) with the purpose of evaluating whether attendance increased survivors’ perceived knowledge and intent to self-manage follow-up care. Breast (n = 107) and colorectal (n = 38) cancer survivors who attended classes completed questionnaires on information needs and intent to self-manage pre- and postclass. Perceived increase in knowledge and intent to self-manage follow-up care were unrelated to age, gender, or time since diagnosis. After attending the class, survivors reported increased knowledge (F(1,11) = 144.6, p < .001) and intent to participate in self-management of their follow-up care (F(1,103) = 57.3, p < .001). Improvements in knowledge predicted increased intent to self-manage (R2 = .64; F(4,86) =  38.5, p < .001). Colorectal cancer survivors showed greater improvement in intent to self-manage than breast cancer survivors (β = .14, t = 2.2, p < .05). These results can inform the development and implementation of future education classes for survivors.

Objective: To know the impact of acne among female university students on their quality of life. Methodology: A cross sectional study conducted included 260 female students at the King Khalid University. A self-administered questionnaire was used in Arabic for data collection. It consisted of personal data, practices and conditions related to health, specific questions on acne vulgaris and the Acne Quality of Life (QOL) questionnaire. Results: Prevalence of acne among participant students was 87%. Its severity among 48% of participants was mild, 39.6% was moderate, while 12.3% had severe acne. Its prevalence did not differ significantly according to participants’ personal characteristics. The mean score for self-perception was 18.4+8.0, for role emotional was 14.4+8.8, for role social was 14.4+6.4, for acne symptoms was 13.4+5.2, while mean overall score was 60.5+24.4. Acne QOL scores for all domains were significantly lower among students who have acne. Scores for all domains and overall scores were lowest among students having severe acne. Students’ acne QOL scores differed significantly according to their family monthly income regarding “self-perception” (p=0.005), role emotional (p=0.037) and overall (p=0.012). Conclusions: Prevalence of facial acne is very high among students and significantly affects their QOL. During management of acne patients, health care professionals should consider its psychosocial aspect. Limitations: Generalizability of the results is limited to female university students only and limited personal characteristics were assessed in the present study. Conflict of interest: There is no conflict of interest involved with this study Key words: Acne, quality of life, female university students.
