Problems with Maintaining in Required Technical Condition and Revitalization of Medieval Defense Fortries
Authors: Bajno Dariusz , Grzybowska Agnieszka , Gajewski Jarosław
Published: August 2019

Often, in the centers of some towns you can find remains of defensive fortifications, which are not always cared for according to their uniqueness and historical values and sometimes are no longer recognizable. These objects in the eighteenth century have become unnecessary due to changes in the tactics of waging war and a significant modernization of armaments and war craft. Their appearance still gives the impression of massiveness, but in reality it often goes beyond the truth. In the 19th and 20th centuries these buildings were neglected and brought to a ruinous state, transformed into residential or public buildings, and even quite often dismantled. A large part of them no longer exists, hence the overriding goal now is to save their remains and revitalize. In the article, on the example of several such fortifications, their actual state and described activities that are undertaken in order to restore their technical and utilitarian efficiency will be approximated. As part of the article, a static and endurance analysis of the remains of a medieval defense wall of the length of about 70 m, located in one of the cities of south-western Poland will be carried out. Problems related to the implementation and effectiveness of ongoing repairs, reinforcements and structural maintenance will also be discussed, which coped well in times of its magnificence, in exceptional situations, i.e. burden of warfare, but currently they cannot resist climatic and environmental loads.

Methodology for portraying 3D structure using ArcGIS: a test case from the southern Canadian Rocky Mountains, British Columbia and Alberta
Authors: Thapa P , McMechan M E
Published: August 2019

In the study of structural geology, a three-dimensional (3D) geologic cross-section plays an important role in the understanding of subsurface structures and their geometric relationships. This Open File report describes the procedural workflow followed to
construct 3D cross-sections entirely within the ESRI ArcGIS software suit. The ArcGIS components involved include ArcMap, ArcScene and ArcCatalog (version 10.5.1), and extensions comprising 3D Analyst, Spatial Analyst and a third-party ArcMap plugin called Xacto Section Tools that was developed by
the Illinois State Geological Survey. ArcGIS allows the processing and analysis of vector (e.g. geological surface, faults, cross-section lines, etc.) and raster data (digital elevation model (DEM), surface) to create 3D cross-sections and fence diagrams with a high degree of spatial accuracy. This
method utilized surface information from digital bedrock geological maps, 2D structural cross-sections and a DEM derived from the geological map contours. Shapefiles of 3D cross-sections, the bedrock geological map, style file for cross-sections and geological map, DEM, cross-section lines, and
fault data are included in this report for visualization in ArcGIS software. Three movie files (.avi) are included for viewing without ArcGIS software. The methodology successfully allowed the 3D viewing of the structural geometry of the study area and should be applicable to for other geographic
locations and geologic settings.
Contact surfaces consistent with the map and cross-section data were readily created using ArcGIS in areas with minimal faulting. However, in areas with structural overlap caused by reverse faulting significant segmentation of the input data was required to generate meaningful
surfaces.
Factors contributing to primary caregiver delay in presenting children with chronic kidney disease for medical care in Ghana
Authors: Amoah Abigail , Duma Sinegugu E.
Published: August 2019

Background: Conforming to the 2016 World Kidney Day focus on raising awareness of the early detection of kidney diseases in children, we report on factors that contribute to primary caregiver delay in presenting their children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) for medical care in Kumasi, Ghana.Aim: The objective of the study was to explore and describe the factors that contribute to primary caregiver delay in presenting children with CKD for medical care in Kumasi, Ghana.Setting: The study was conducted in the Paediatric Renal Unit in Kumasi, Ghana.Methods: A qualitative study was conducted in January 2017. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data from a convenience sample of 10 primary caregivers whose children were admitted for CKD, but were not too ill. The primary caregivers had to respond to the research question: What factors contribute to your delay in presenting your child with CKD for medical care? Thematic data analysis and the ecological model of Schneider (2017) were used to organise the findings.Results: Four themes and related subthemes, including intrapersonal-related factors, interpersonal-related factors, community-related factors and infrastructural factors were identified as those that contribute to delay in presenting children with CKD for medical care.Conclusion: The findings show that primary prevention strategies for CKD in children should not only focus on personal-related factors but also cut across all levels of the socio-ecological model in order for them to be effective.

Acute hamstring injuries in rugby players: The influence of positioning during ice therapy on muscle length
Authors: Becker C. , Rayner D. , Van Zyl L. , Walters E. , Malherbe C. P.
Published: August 2019

The effect on muscle length of positioning with ice application to acute hamstring injuries in rugby players was examined. Ice was applied with the hamstring muscle group in either the lengthened or the shortened position. Players with grade I or II hamstring injuries were randomly allocated (via the randomized block method) to the different treatment methods. The active hamstring length of the injured leg was measured by means of knee extension before and after treatment on days 1, 2 and 3 post-injury. The uninjured leg was measured on days 1 and 3.The discussion of results covered only the clinical observations since the experimental group was too small for statistical analysis.

Authors: Sinclair-Smith R. , Arens L. J.
Published: August 2019

The pre- and post-operative 8mm cine-films and video films taken of seven hemiplegic children were reviewed. All seven have received regular and intensive physiotherapy but required surgery to obtain a good supportive functional hand. Video recordings provided a very useful method of assessing the outcome of hand surgery.
The International Literature on Teaching Faculty Development in English-Language Journals: A Scoping Review and Recommendations for Core Topics
Authors: Philibert Ingrid , Konopasek Lyuba , Riddle Janet
Published: August 2019

Background

With increasing physician mobility, there is interest in how medical schools and postgraduate medical education institutions across the world develop and maintain the competence of medical teachers. Published reviews of faculty development (FD) have predominantly included studies from the United States and Canada.

Objective

We synthesized the international FD literature (beyond the US and Canada), focusing on FD type, intended audience, study format, effectiveness, differences among countries, and potential unique features.

Methods

We identified English-language publications that addressed FD for medical faculty for teaching and related activities, excluding US and Canadian publications.

Results

A search of 4 databases identified 149 publications, including 83 intervention studies. There was significant growth in international FD publications for the most recent decade, and a sizable number of studies were from developing economies and/or resulted from international collaborations. Focal areas echo those in earlier published reviews, suggesting the international FD literature addresses similar faculty needs and organizational concerns.

Conclusions

The growth in publications in recent years and a higher proportion of reporting on participant reactions, coupled with less frequent reporting of results, transfer to practice, and impact on learners and the organization, suggest this is an evolving field. To enhance international FD, educators and researchers should focus on addressing common needs expressed by faculty, including curriculum design and evaluation, small group teaching, assessing professionalism and providing feedback. Future research should focus on approaches for developing comprehensive institutional FD programs that include communities of learning and practice and evaluating their impact.
O LARP COMO FERRAMENTA DE TRABALHO DO ATOR/PERFORMER
Authors: Da Rosa Thiago Vieira Borges , Barros Ariane Guerra
Published: August 2019

Esse artigo propõe uma pesquisa sobre larp (sigla de Live Action Role Playing Game), uma expressividade artística contemporânea com forte presença nos países escandinavos e trazida ao Brasil nos últimos anos, e sua relação com a performatividade de artistas cênicos de outras áreas, com especial atenção o teatro. Abordando o conceito de performatividade, traçamos uma relação entre o larp e a atuação/performance, e analisamos como algumas concepções do encenador Constantin Stanislavski podem estar relacionadas ao larp. Por fim, procuramos entender como a prática de diferentes jogos - produtos da arte do larp - podem auxiliar o ator/performer no exercício de seu trabalho.

ESPAÇO E TERRITÓRIO – ORGANIZAÇÃO, ORDENAMENTO E USO: NOTAS TEÓRICO-EPISTEMOLÓGICAS
Authors: Fachini Vicente Pereira Mirlei
Published: August 2019

O texto apresenta e avalia algumas das tendências e conceitos que, na ciência geográfica, orientaram estudos e perspectivas epistemológicas na definição de um “objeto de análise”. O foco central é a análise da noção de “organização do espaço”, ainda hoje muito presente no vocabulário dos geógrafos, bem como a de propostas mais recentes, como as de “ordenamento territorial” e “uso do território”. Cabe repensarmos a proposição, o uso, as implicações e heranças de tais conceitos e projetos, visando oportunizar análises mais generosas e capazes de destinar à Geografia um papel central junto às ciências sociais.
RETRATOS PARA A UNESCO DA RESERVA DA BIOSFERA DO CERRADO – RESBIO GOYAZ: SUAS PAISAGENS CULTURAIS E IDENTIDADES TERRITORIAIS
Authors: Almeida Maria Geralda de
Published: August 2019

Neste artigo preocupa-se em averiguar paisagens culturais e identidades territoriais que se vinculam às apropriações diversas dos atores e sujeitos na Reserva da Biosfera do Cerrado. A paisagem cultural é concreta, material e factualmente percebida pelos sujeitos e assimilada afetiva e culturalmente pelos homens. Simultaneamente, buscaram-se as identidades territoriais mediante a aplicação de algumas tipologias. Na investigação recorreu-se aos procedimentos qualitativos e quantitativos e à cartografia. Conclui-se que a Reserva da Biosfera do Cerrado – Resbio Goyaz –, apesar de seus 25 anos, carece de vontade política para sua implementação. As paisagens culturais são dinâmicas e sinalizam a precarização da Resbio Goyaz, diferentemente do que concebe a Unesco. E as identidades territoriais são reveladoras de conflitos e disputas empobrecedoras do valor da Resbio para a conservação ambiental do Cerrado e a sustentabilidade.

Sinaliza a necessidade de rompimento com paradigmas educacionais que a concebem como mecanismo reprodutor das desigualdades e ressalta a necessidade de que se constitua uma ação que permita abarcar a multiplicidade de situações e processos de desenvolvimento dos/das estudantes como uma medida importante, no campo da educação, para romper as desigualdades sociais.
"UM ESPECTRO RONDA O BRASIL": AS CONCEPÇÕES EDUCACIONAIS E O IDEÁRIO RELIGIOSO ANTICOMUNISTA DIFUNDIDO PELA REVISTA "A ORDEM" (1930-1045)
Authors: Rodrigues Ana Paula Aires , Gomes Marco Antonio De Oliveira
Published: August 2019

O presente artigo tem como objetivo apresentar discussões considerando o caráter educativo da Imprensa e sua influência na produção e veiculação de ideias. Trata-se de um estudo bibliográfico-documental, no qual foi priorizada a veiculação das ideias pela revista A Ordem (1930-1945), produzida pelo centro Dom Vital. A propaganda anticomunista d’A Ordem, foi a base para a discussão em questão. Entende-se que os fundamentos do pensamento católico, via de regra conservador, que se colocava em oposição ao pensamento liberal em ascensão no país, manifestava-se e era propagado, essencialmente, por meio da revista A Ordem. Conclui-se que apesar de se colocar no campo político oposto ao dos liberais, o pensamento católico mais aproximava-se do que se afastava, quando se tratava da “ameaça comunista”.
HOHFELD ON PRIVILEGES AND LIBERTIES
Authors: Nascimento Daniel Simão
Published: August 2019

Wesley Newcomb Hohfeld was an American jurist who published a series of articles between 1909 and 1917 that were very important for 20th century analytical philosophy of right. In these articles, Hohfeld analyzed how jurists and judges alike use the word ‘right’ to speak of the rights of groups and individuals. Since he presented his articles, it has been commonplace among ‘hohfeldian specialists’ to distinguish rights into four groups: privileges, or claims, powers and immunities. This paper has four sections. In section I, I present Hohfeld’s notion of privilege and point to a difficulty that has long been known by specialists, namely, that there are actually two significantly different legal relations that this notion is supposed to cover. In section II, I analyze and criticize the way (Wenar 2005) proposes we should define these two legal relations. In section III, I do the same with suggestion proposed by (Moritz 1960, 1073). In section IV, I present my own suggestion about how we should understand them.
RECEPÇÃO DE FREUD NA FILOSOFIA DE HERBERT MARCUSE
Authors: Silva Rafael Cordeiro
Published: August 2019

O objetivo do artigo é explicitar as formas da apropriação marcuseana do pensamento de Freud. Está dividido em quatro tópicos que correspondem ao que sustento ser a relação de Marcuse com a psicanálise. Essa relação se dá a partir da seguinte articulação: 1) apresenta-se como a defesa intransigente da ortodoxia freudiana contra as pretensões revisionistas; 2) fornece os elementos para a teoria marcuseana da sociedade; 3) a psicanálise apresenta conceitos que permitem uma crítica da sociedade e de sua cultura; 4) é evocada para discutir ecologia e a defesa radical do meio ambiente. Os tópicos 1 e 2 acima compõem o diálogo de Marcuse com Freud na década de 1950. O tópico 2 é específico de seu pensamento. O tópico 3 é desenvolvido em um texto datado de 1963. O único texto em que Marcuse vai a Freud para falar sobre a necessidade de uma política ecológica e radical está discutido na seção 4. A relação Freud e ecologia foi uma das últimas do autor e data de 1977. E essa associação de Freud com a ecologia reforça o caráter específico de seu pensamento em relação aos demais autores da Teoria Crítica.
10 años de historia Mapuche: desde la ley indígena al nuevo mal-trato colonial chileno (1993-2003)
Authors: Quiroz-Aminao Filip Escudero
Published: August 2019

En este artículo se busca repasar los primeros diez años que vivió el Pueblo-Nación Mapuche bajo el amparo de la Ley Indígena, la Corporación Nacional de Desarrollo Indígena y como se fueron desarrollando y prolongando los problemas originados desde el Acuerdo de Nueva Imperial. En el trascurso de estos diez años dilucidaremos como las organizaciones Mapuche y el Movimiento fueron cimentando su camino hacia la autodeterminación y como el paradigma cambia radicalmente desde 1997 con los sucesos de Lumako y el ascenso de la Coordinadora Arauko-Malleko de cara al siglo XXI, donde el recrudecimiento y la mano dura del Gobierno de turno hace aplicar una legislación creada en dictadura como la Ley Antiterrorista.
Educação para manejo do mundo
Authors: Luciano Gersem José dos Santos
Published: August 2019

Este artigo trata da ideia de “educação para manejo do mundo” que foi o tema de minha pesquisa doutoral publicada em 2011. A ideia central é a educação indígena Baniwa como processo formativo e transformativo, cujo propósito é o manejo do mundo no sentido de compreendê-lo para respeitá-lo e dele garantir o equilíbrio da vida e da existência humana e da natureza. Conhecimento para o manejo do mundo e da natureza possibilita a construção permanente de uma vida e existência humana desejável e sustentável, baseada no princípio filosófico indígena de bem viver da natureza e com a natureza, contrapondo-se à ideia globalizada do conhecimento para exploração, destruição e dominação da natureza e da vida. De acordo com o pensamento indígena de manejo e domesticação permanente da vida e do mundo, o poder não está nas mãos das sociedades humanas, mas na composição da natureza, ao contrário do pensamento ocidental globalizado, em que o poder político, histórico e civilizatório está nas mãos das sociedades humanas.

ESTUDO COMPARATIVO ENTRE AS EQUAÇÕES EMPÍRICAS E O MÉTODO DA VELOCIDADE NA ESTIMATIVA DO TEMPO DE CONCENTRAÇÃO
Authors: Menezes Filho Frederico Carlos Martins de , Sá Rafael Alan de
Published: August 2019

RESUMO: Tão importante para projetos hidrológicos, a estimativa do tempo de concentração (tc) é realizada pela utilização de equações empíricas obtidas em estudos internacionais; desconsiderando-se, muitas vezes, os limites de aplicabilidade a que foram propostas.  Não obstante, observa-se a não utilização do método da velocidade do Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), o mais recomendado para a estimativa do referido tempo em bacias urbanas. Deste modo, o presente artigo objetivou analisar qual a estimativa de “tc”, utilizando equações empíricas versus a adoção do método da velocidade, resulta no melhor ajuste de projeto. Para tal, compararam-se os valores obtidos entre os métodos por meio da construção de 168 cenários hipotéticos oriundos da combinação entre parâmetros como a declividade, a extensão do escoamento natural; do escoamento em canais rasos revestidos e do escoamento em canais artificiais. Calculou-se, então, para todos cenários, a vazão de projeto pelo Método Racional. Pela discrepância dos valores obtidos para os tempos de concentração e vazões entre as equações e o método da velocidade, ressalta-se a importância do levantamento em campo da bacia em estudo, bem como do conhecimento das faixas de aplicação de equações empíricas. Verificou-se que a influência das extensões de escoamentos em trechos naturais ou definidos, afetará sobremaneira nas vazões de projeto calculadas; demonstrando a importância da definição do método mais apropriado pelo projetista.

Authors: Carvalho Taynara Franco de , Souza Neto Samuel de
Published: August 2019

A discussão sobre a análise de práticas é o objetivo desse ensaio. Procurou-se apresentar algumas possibilidades de utilização de estratégias da análise das práticas no campo da Educação Física Escolar. Essas estratégias têm possibilitado a investigação dos saberes docentes, considerando a prática enquanto local de produção de saberes. Além disso, podem contribuir para o fortalecimento do trabalho do professor. Sendo assim, consideramos que é relevante aos professores compreenderem melhor as ações diárias junto aos alunos, bem como reconhecer que suas ações envolvem uma pluralidade de saberes. Por fim, apontamos que embora o exercício de análise das práticas seja uma tarefa que demanda conhecimento e tempo, a sua relevância é inegável para o campo da Educação Física Escolar.
A description of three new bathyteuthid squid species from the North Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico
Authors: Judkins Heather , Lindgren Annie , Villanueva Roger , Clark Kristine , Vecchione Michael
Published: August 2019

Currently, three species in the squid family Bathyteuthidae are recognized as valid: Bathyteuthis abyssicola Hoyle, 1885, Bathyteuthis bacidifera Roper, 1968, and Bathyteuthis berryi Roper, 1968. Using morphology and DNA sequencing (COI, 16S), we discovered three
additional species of bathyteuthids collected from the North Atlantic Ocean and adjacent basins between 2009 and 2018. Two of the newly discovered species share the absence of arm-base photophores as well as differences in arm-sucker and buccallappet sucker counts. In the third species, the
adult female individual has arm-base photophores but the two juveniles (sex undetermined) do not. All examined individuals of this species exhibited <1% divergence rate for the COI locus. We describe and name the three new species based on both morphological and molecular characters.

Published: August 2019

Newly licensed nurses gain knowledge and skills at the academic level to enter the profession as novice nurses. A nurse residency program is crucial in the successful transition of new nurses to their professional role. In addition, supportive structures are essential for new nurses to acquire the skills, knowledge, and decision-making abilities appropriate for their specific area of practice. At Houston Methodist, an additional element of the nurse residency program includes transition to practice classes that are designed to increase new nurses’ knowledge and understanding of relevant skills. The classes provide practice in specific environments and improve self-confidence with elements identified through Casey-Fink surveys. In addition to the initial classes developed to support these areas, feedback showed the need to incorporate specific classes for specialized environments. As a result, the coordinators of the nurse residency program, experts, and leaders from specialty areas explored and developed specific learning opportunities. The aim of this article is to showcase the strategies used to develop customized approaches to ensure successful transitions to practice for newly licensed nurses.
Rearing technique and demographic parameters of Tetrastichus giffardianus Silvestre (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae)
Authors: Fernandes Elania Clementino , Souza Mariana Macêdo , Souza Maria Itala Alves , Felipe Antonio Gabriel Nunes , Araujo Elton Lucio
Published: August 2019

Tetrastichus giffardianus Silvestri (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) is a gregarious koinobiont endoparasitoid of frugivorous dipterans. In recent years, T. giffardianus has been detected parasitizing Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) in different Brazilian semiarid sites. Thus, T. giffardianus has potential to be used in the biological control of C. capitata in semi-arid conditions. However, one of the factors limiting the use of this parasitoid is the lack of detailed information on rearing methods and bioecological aspects. Therefore, the main objectives of this study were to demonstrate a rearing technique for T. giffardianus and to determine the increase in population under laboratory conditions. Specimens of T. giffardianus were obtained in the field through of the collection of fruits infested with C. capitata. The specimens obtained were used to adapt a rearing methodology for T. giffardianus under laboratory conditions. Information on demographic parameters for a T. giffardianus population was obtained using the same methodology. Based on the parameters evaluated, we found that the intrinsic rate of population increase of T. giffardianus was 0.34, the average time of one generation was 19.7 days, the population doubling time was 2.03 days and the finite rate of population increase (?) was 1.41. The demographic parameters obtained demonstrated that, with the rearing technique used, it is possible to maintain populations of T. giffardianus and enable them to multiply under laboratory conditions.

The goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of strategic insulin administration on follicular growth, progesterone production, and pregnancy rate in beef cattle. Two experiments were conducted, in experiment 1, 215 cows crossbreed cows (Bos indicus × Bos taurus) (Control Group, n = 109; Insulin Group, n = 106) were submitted to fixed-time artificial insemination (TAI) with application of 2 mg of estradiol benzoate and a vaginal device containing progesterone on day 0. On day 9, the device was removed and 0.5 mg of estradiol cypionate was administered with 12.5 mg of dinoprost and 0.25 UI kg-1 of insulin for the treated animals. On day 11, artificial insemination (AI) was performed on all animals. On days 9 and 11 according to the protocol, was evaluated follicular growth and estrus manifestation, and 30 days after AI the pregnancy rate. In experiment 2, 85 cows were utilized, including Aberdeen Angus, Hereford, and crossbreeds (Control Group, n = 49 and Insulin Group, n = 36), and were submitted to the protocol for fixed-time embryo transfer (FTET), and progesterone concentrations were evaluated. On day 0, the cows received 2 mg of estradiol benzoate and a vaginal device containing progesterone. On day 5 of the protocol, 0.150 mg of cloprostenol was administered. On day 8, the vaginal device was removed and 20 mg of purified porcine pituitary extract and 0.25 UI kg-1 of insulin was given to the animals in the treatment group, and on day 9, 1 mg of estradiol benzoate was administered. On day 17, an embryo transfer was performed and blood collection for evaluation of progesterone levels in animals submitted to FTET were collected. In experiment 1, the follicular growth rate and the pregnancy rate were similar between groups (P > 0.05) and in experiment 2, the production of P4 was not different between the animals that received the insulin application and the control group. The utilization of a single dose of insulin for beef cows did not affect the ovulatory follicular diameter, progesterone concentrations, or pregnancy rate.

The experiment was conducted at the Animal Production Center (Núcleo de Produção Animal – NUPRAN) of the Center for Agrarian and Environmental Sciences of the Universidade Estadual do Centro-Oeste - UNICENTRO - CEDETEG Campus, Guarapuava, State of Paraná. This study aimed to evaluate biomass production, plant physical composition, chemical composition and dry matter contents of the plant and structural components of forage corn. The experiment was carried out in 5x5 factorial with five planting densities (80, 160, 240, 320 and 400 thousand plants ha-1), harvested in 5 times (40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 days after planting). The harvesting time caused a statistical difference for all parameters, and the planting densities factor only caused statistical difference in leaf participation and dry biomass production. There was no interaction for any of the parameters evaluated. Forage corn, harvested in the vegetative stage, can be a great ally of the rural producer, since it presents high potential for food production with high nutritional value in a short period of time, and in significant amount with production of up to 14,720 kg ha-1 dry biomass reached at 80 days of cycle with 320 thousand ha-1, freeing the soil for the production of another crop.
A Study of the Construction of English Hidden Curriculums at Primary Schools in China
Authors: Mo Haiwen , Luo Fengjuan
Published: August 2019

The hidden curriculum is an important part of curriculums, and constructing the primary school English hidden curriculum is helpful for the implementation of the new National English Curriculums, the development of students’ key competencies and the reform of basic English teaching in China. However, according to the survey conducted with 40 primary school leaders, 60 primary school English teachers as well as 300 primary school students, the hidden curriculum is always ignored in primary school English teaching in China. Schools should meticulously design the educational environment on campus, highlighting the characteristics of English hidden curriculums, integrate English into the class culture, optimizing English educational environment. It is necessary to build a harmonious relationship between teachers and students, to enhance students’ motivation of learning English, to mobilize social and family participation, and to build multiple hidden curricular resources of English so as to promote the reform of English teaching and improve the quality of English teaching at primary schools in China.
Clinical Practice of Midwifery Graduates During Community Service Placement, Limpopo Province South Africa
Authors: Simane-Netshisaulu Khathutshelo G. , Maputle Maria S.
Published: August 2019

Midwifery graduates are placed in health facilities for community service during their first year of practice. The purpose of the study was to explore how midwifery graduates experienced their clinical practice during community service placement in Limpopo province. A qualitative study which is explorative and descriptive in nature was conducted in five selected hospitals. Population comprised of all midwifery graduates who have undergone a comprehensive nursing programme regulated by R425 of 19 February 1985, as amended; working in selected hospitals. Non-probability, purposive sampling method was used to select five graduates working in maternity unit of each selected hospital. Sample comprised of twenty-five participants. In-depth face to face interviews were used to collect data. Findings revealed that graduates experienced differences between theory and practice at different levels. Loss of students’ status, high level of responsibility and inadequate clinical learning opportunities made their transition difficult. In conclusion, graduates felt exposed to two different worlds of midwifery practice resulting in frustration and reality shock. Study recommends that midwifery training programme include opportunities to discuss realities of transition period, to enable graduates to deal with midwifery issues in a real and practical situation. Mentors should help graduates to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Structured support programmes should be offered to alley feelings of fear and insecurity resulting from increased levels of responsibility and accountability graduates are faced with.
A Bivariate Index for Visually Measuring Marginal Inhomogeneity in Square Tables
Authors: Ando Shuji
Published: August 2019

For square tables, the marginal homogeneity model which has a structure that the row marginal distribution is equal to the column marginal distribution was proposed. Thereafter, various extended models of marginal homogeneity have been proposed, these models can be classified into two types marginal inhomogeneity. On the other hand, various indexes which measure the degree of deviation from marginal homogeneity have been proposed. However these indexes cannot concurrently define degrees of deviation from marginal homogeneity with respect to two types marginal inhomogeneity. This paper proposes a bivariate index that can concurrently define degrees of deviation from those. The proposed bivariate index would also be utility for visually comparing degrees of deviation from marginal homogeneity in several tables using confidence regions.
Putin, Wodka und Politik. Zum Einfluss der Mediennutzung während der Fußball-WM 2018 auf die Wahrnehmung des Gastgebers Russland
Authors: Schallhorn Christiana , Häußinger Katharina
Published: August 2019

Gastgeberländer wollen mit der Ausrichtung von Sportgroßereignissen ihr Image verbessern. Trotz der unterhaltenden, zumeist positiven Vor- und Nachberichterstattung rund um die Wettkämpfe ist es jedoch fraglich, ob die Imageverbesserung aufgrund der parallel eher kritischen, krisenbehafteten Berichterstattung in den Nachrichten während des Turniers gelingt. Dies wird am Beispiel der Fußballweltmeisterschaft 2018 untersucht. In einer Vorstudie im Rahmen des Confederations Cups in Russland 2017 bestätigen die Ergebnisse der Inhaltsanalyse reichweitenstarker Nachrichtenmedien zunächst, dass über Russland vor allem in Verbindung mit krisen- und konfliktbehafteten Themen berichtet wird. Die Ergebnisse der Hauptstudie, einer Panelbefragung (N = 125) vor und nach der Fußballweltmeisterschaft 2018, zeigen aber, dass die Bewertung Russlands nicht durch die Nachrichtenrezeption beeinflusst wird. Nach der WM bewerten Rezipienten Russland positiver, und zwar umso stärker, je häufiger sie WM-Sportsendungen geschaut haben. Das, was die Befragten vor der WM mit Russland assoziieren, bleibt auch nach der WM weitestgehend gleich. Neben sportbezogenen Assoziationen verbinden Befragte Putin, Wodka und Politik mit Russland. Trotzdem scheint Russland, insgesamt gesehen, sein Image durch die WM verbessert zu haben.
Sprachliche Qualitätskriterien der Fußball-Live-Kommentierung im TV. Eine inhaltsanalytische Untersuchung am Beispiel ausgewählter Spiele bei der EURO 2016
Authors: Schaffrath Michael
Published: August 2019

Im vorliegenden Aufsatz werden zunächst auf der Basis theoretischer Vorüberlegungen, empirischer Studien sowie einzelner „Best-Practice“-Publikationen verschiedene Funktionen der Fußball-Live-Kommentierung als einer spezifischen Form des Kommentars präsentiert. Darauf aufbauend werden sieben sprachliche Qualitätskriterien abgeleitet, die im Rahmen einer explorativen Studie mit der Methode der Inhaltsanalyse am Beispiel von zwölf ausgewählten Live-Kommentierungen der Fußball-Europameisterschaft 2016 geprüft werden. Die Messungen der Kommentierungsintensität belegen, dass alle TV-Kommentatoren dem Anspruch, „nicht zu viel zu reden“ und im Fernsehen die Bilder wirken zu lassen, adäquat nachkommen. Die sich ergebenden Differenzen im Sprechumfang rekurrieren nicht auf divergierenden Dramaturgien der Spiele, wie Korrelationsanalysen bestätigen. Die Auswertungen zu Aspekten des individuellen Sprachvermögens der Kommentatoren zeigen eine recht hohe Anzahl an Versprechern sowie Grammatik- und Syntaxfehlern. Die Analyse sprachlicher Mittel, um Emotionalität auszudrücken, dokumentiert, dass Metaphern und Floskeln sowie Superlative und Augmentativa zum Standardrepertoire der Live-Kommentierung gehören. Insgesamt könnte die sprachliche Qualität durch mehr rhetorische Originalität und begriffliche Kreativität erhöht werden.
Europäisches Wirtschaftsrecht
Authors: Kilian Wolfgang , Wendt Domenik Henning
Published: August 2019

Law exams of all kind in Europe require knowledge about at least some fields of Economic Law from the perspective of national and supranational law. Most textbooks related to European Law confine themselves to a public law perspective and focus on Institutions and the Single Market Freedoms. For students and practitioneers who want to get to the core of economically relevant subjects (e.g. Competition Law; Corporate Law; Trade Law; Capital Market Law; Labour Law; Private Insurance Law; Trademark Law; Copyright Law; IT-Law; Consumer Law) more detailed and reliable knowledge about Regulations, Directives and Court Decisions have to be provided. The authors of the book on „European Economic Law“, which comes to its 5th edition, are experts in the respective fields and present the state of the art by texts, graphics, leading cases and summaries in a well structured manner. References are made to ruling principles and theoretical assumptions as well.
Storytelling with Augmented Reality
Authors: Yurt Meltem
Published: August 2019

Children love stories; they even need them. Through stories, they do not only dive into a fantasy world, but also learn to understand facts. Storytelling as a method of knowledge transfer is therefore widespread and essential. Can this tool be raised to a new, more effective level with the help of augmented reality (AR) technology? What potential or risks does augmented reality entail for children? The theoretical framework of this work is the topic of storytelling and its influence on children as a tool for knowledge creation, which is followed by the technical basics of augmented reality. Theoretical learning approaches as well as practical examples and various studies on learning efficiency reveal additional factors with regard to added didactic value. A model based on research literature with categories of AR storytelling is then applied to three case studies, and the results are evaluated by means of expert interviews put into a practical context. Finally, the author discusses the limitations of the use of technology in imparting knowledge to children.
The Evolution of Elderly Telehealth and Health Informatics
Authors: P. Lyons Joseph , Watson Kimberly , Massacci Angela
Published: August 2019

Many elderly individuals experience memory loss and often dementia as they age. This causes problems for the elderly due to diminished skills and increase in medical problems and natural decline. The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) introduced a national home telehealth program, Care Coordination/Home Telehealth (CCHT). Its purpose was to coordinate the care of veteran patients with chronic conditions and avoid their unnecessary admission to long-term institutional care. Such programs are cost-effective. Long-term care insurance companies are likely to cover these services. Home care and nursing home corporations are following the VHA’s lead. We have recently witnessed significant advances in technology. Internet and mobile applications have opened a new world, providing information and opportunities for individuals to learn more information about illness and at a much faster rate. Smart home technology has evolved. Elderly patients often encounter difficulties using these technologies. Despite the advances in telehealth and telemedicine and the evolution of the technology, many individuals cannot afford the treatment or the technology. These same individuals and families are part of the digital divide, and they have not embraced the new technology. Federal programs have been developed and implemented to help this portion of the population.
Housing Provision for the Youth in Lithuania: Attitudes and Experiences
Authors: Brazienė Rūta
Published: August 2019

This paper is aimed at analysis of housing provision for the youth in Lithuania. In this paper, the main trends of scientific research and the newest studies in the housing provision for the youth field were briefly discussed. Based on a qualitative data, young person’s attitudes and experiences towards housing provision were identified. In this paper only part of the data collected by implementing the National Science Programme ‘Welfare Society’ supported by the Lithuanian Science Council Project ‘Housing Provision for the Youth: Processes, Problems and Solutions in Lithuania (JABS)’ (GER 007/17) were analysed. Based on the data analysis of 26 semi-structured interviews, the main thematic lines reflecting youth housing issues were identified: the first acquisition of home ownership vs housing provision strategies, the role of employment status and financial resources for housing provision and housing purchasing opportunities. The research results disclosed that the main housing provision and transition to an independent residence issues for the youth is lack of financial resources and stability on the labour market, constantly increasing housing purchasing and rent prices, and ineffective Lithuanian housing policy.
Precarity: The Significance of a Controversial Concept
Authors: Gasiukova Elena , Shkaratan Ovsey
Published: August 2019

The authors focus on the category of precarity that refers to the phenomenon of dynamic instability resulting from income fluctuation and frequent job changes. Precarious workers view their situation as deviating from the norm and standards of living typical of their immediate circles. Thus, the term precarity describes a situation which is beyond the scope of the labour market and not confined to categories representing non-standard employment relations. As both objective and subjective parameters need to be taken into consideration in precarity studies, the conceptualisation of the phenomenon should not be subject to rigid universalist categories. Identification criteria prove to be contextual. The authors are convinced that the term precarity denotes a fundamentally new phenomenon not reduced to employment insecurity situations of the past. The article demonstrates that it is wrong to equate the modern situation of precarity with the position of an exploited proletarian worker, as the structural components of the labour market have changed, and the experience of the previous generation has affected the development of employment standards used as a benchmark today. The concept of precarity refers to a phenomenon without any precedents in the past and is highly relevant for studying modern labour markets.
The Evaluation of the Link Between Empowerment and Capability for Work of People Suffering from Epilepsy
Authors: Okunevičiūtė Neverauskienė Laima , Krutulienė Sandra
Published: August 2019

Theoretical aspects of (self-)empowerment, in the background of capability approach, are presented in the article as well as the results of the empirical research which analyse peculiarities of (self-)empowerment and its connection with employment (capability for work) of people suffering from epilepsy. According to the results of this research, a significant part of people suffering from epilepsy do not consider themselves as the rulers of their own life. They also believe their rate of (self-)empowerment is low. In addition, people suffering from epilepsy estimate the subjective control while making personal choices (and controlling their own life in general) as low. A bigger part of them would like to make some changes although only one out of two feels responsible for those changes. People suffering from epilepsy tend to believe that their influence on activities in society would be low. Employment capability has a significant connection with the empowerment indicators of people suffering from epilepsy. The empowerment indicators of employed people suffering from epilepsy were significantly higher compared to the same indicators of capability for work of unemployed people suffering from epilepsy as well as with persons without capability for work. A tendency of a higher empowerment evaluation of employed persons can be noticed in all of the estimated fields: (self-) empowerment as a control, (self-)empowerment as a choice, (self-)empowerment as a change and (self-)empowerment in a society.
