Published: May 2022

Coal mining with an open-pit mining method can created the formation of pit lake filled with high turbidity water which has the potential to pollute and cannot be utilized if not managed properly. Treatment to reduce water turbidity to meet quality standards with chemicals is a common, but during post mining period, it is necessary to reduce the processing, which is expensive and uncertain, turning into a natural process and lower cost. The aim of this study is to analysis on the role of water hyacinth as macrophytes in reducing water turbidity on three different water sources for treatment. Water hyacinth is an aquatic plant that can be used to reduce water pollution such as high levels of turbidity in water quality. The experimental results showed that not significant on TSS < 200 mgL-1 but significantly different results, on TSS values between 200 - 400 mgL-1 and TSS > 400 mgL-1 and to be the basic reference data of the number of plants used in experiment to enlarge it on a field scale

Published: May 2022

Az Arborétumokban, de ma már kis kertekben is egyre több helyen találkozhatunk rovarhotelekkel. Sőt egyes áruházakban készen is megvásárolhatók. De mi magunk is elkészíthetjük azokat a ház körül található természetes anyagokból. Milyen célt szolgálnak ezek? A kertünkben károsító rovarok természetes ellenségeinek nyújthatunk otthont ezekben az építményekben, ráadásul kertünk különlegessége is lehet. Ezeknek a rovarhoteleknek a hasznosságát szeretném ismertetni és az építési technológiáját bemutatni.
Az állattenyésztés helyzete, kilátásai néhány Bács-kiskun megyei gazdaság példáján keresztül
Authors: Verba Hanna Krisztina , Kőszegi Irén
Published: May 2022

Magyarországon az állattenyésztés az 1980-as években még a mezőgazdaság húzóágazataként említhető, a termelési értékének 55-60%-os részesedésével. Az 1990-es évek végére ez az arány megfordult és a növénytermesztés került túlsúlyba [6.; in.: 2]. Jelen kutatásunk arra próbál rávilágítani, hogy hogyan látják az állattenyésztők a jelenlegi helyzetüket, milyen problémákkal, nehézségekkel kell szembenézniük, milyen tényezők vannak befolyással a gazdaságuk jövőjére. Összesen hat állattenyésztéssel foglalkozó gazdához látogattunk el, a kutatás módszere a mélyinterjú volt.

Published: May 2022

A Zöldségtermesztési Kutatóintézet paprikafajtákat szeretne észak-afrikai országokba exportálni, ahol nagyon magas a talajok sótartalma. Magyarországon is nagyon sok helyen magas a talajok és az öntözővíz sótartalma. Ezért vizsgáltuk két paprika fajtatípus (blocky és hegyes erős) négy-négy fajtájának palántakori sóstressz érzékenységét talajnélküli körülmények között. A sóstressz kiváltása előtt mértük a fajták nettó fotoszintézis intenzitásának értékeit. A sóstresszhez egy hétig háromféle sókoncentrációt (20, 40 és 80 millimol NaCl) adtunk az alap tápoldathoz, majd egy hét regeneráció után ismét vizsgáltuk, hogyan alakult a palánták nettó fotoszintézis intenzitása. A blocky típusú fajták kisebb stresszt mutattak a só kezelés végén, mint a hegyes erős fajták. Az egyhetes regeneráció után a hegyes erős fajták viszont jobban közelítettek az eredeti értékekhez, mint a blocky fajták

Vulnerability of Saudi Private Sector Organisations to Cyber Threats and Methods to Reduce the Vulnerability
Authors: Shafie Emad
Published: May 2022

The Middle Eastern region has witnessed many cyber-attacks in recent years, especially in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabian organisations face problems anticipating, detecting, mitigating, or preventing cyber-attacks despite policies and regulations. The reasons for this have not been investigated adequately. This research aims to study the methods used to address cyber security issues in the private sector. A survey of IT managers of private organisations yielded 230 usable responses. The data were analysed for descriptive statistics and frequency estimations of responses, and the results are presented in this paper. Poor awareness of cyber security issues is reflected in the survey responses. The expenditure on cyber security, especially by large firms, was inadequate. There was a greater tendency to outsource many aspects of cyber security without concern about the risks. A very small percentage of IT managers considered the certainty of a cyber threat within the next year. It is important from the point of proactive strategies to prevent attacks. The findings highlight a lack of required knowledge and skills in performing their expected roles well. Additionally, many weaknesses have been detected in cyber security management in Saudi private organisations, and there is room to improve the quality of computer security systems. The published literature largely supported this. The findings from this study have implications for the stakeholders, especially IT managers working in the private sector of Saudi Arabia. The learnings from this study may be used to address the vulnerabilities identified. The findings clearly show the need to train IT managers of Saudi private organisations.

On behest of the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (MoHFW), an evaluation on Central Sector Scheme of Development of Nursing Services was done by National Institute of Health & Family Welfare (NIHFW) to assess the utilisation of facilities developed in various training institutions funded by MOHFW for upgradation into College of Nursing. Descriptive cross sectional design was adopted to select a total of 9 institutes from 8 states using random sampling method. Data were collected in December 2019 and January 2020 with the help of structured questionnaire and observation checklist related to scheme and statutory guidelines. The study revealed that all states/institutions utilised the fund under the heads as speciÀ ed but only few institutions (4/9) upgraded as per scheme guidelines and purposes. Rest of the institutions utilised the fund as per the decision of state government. Some institutions continued the same diploma course (2/9). Majority (7/9) institutions received only À rst instalment of fund. Three institutions (in Gujarat, Manipur & Tamil Nadu) utilised the entire amount as per the institution’s need. Utilisation certiÀ cate was submitted by all institutions. Most of the institutes (in Gujarat, Jharkhand, UP, Manipur and WB) utilised the fund for construction work including addition, alteration of existing building or construction of new school/college building. Although, all four upgraded institutions constructed separate building for college, only one institution (out of 4 upgraded institutions) constructed separate hostel. The remaining three institutes (Rajasthan, West Bengal and HP) do not have separate hostel building for students. Most of the institutes (7/9) utilised the fund for purchasing furniture and teaching aids. Various posts were created in most of the institutions; however, all higher-level posts are lying vacant due to administrative delay. The Àndings indicated that all the nursing training institutes beneÀ ted largely by the scheme for improving the quality of education by way of expanded infrastructure. The objective of the scheme i.e., increasing the graduate nurses by upgrading the school of nursing in to college of nursing couldn’t ach
Looking Ahead for Building a Strong Team in Nursing

Published: May 2022

Team building is an essential aspect of any health organisation from the perspective of whole organisation down to level of shift teams that perform variety of functions on daily basis. With the demand of integration of multidisciplinary approach in health care, nurses are challenged to work closely with each other to manage patient care. An effective nurse leader guides team members for collaborative effort to deliver satisfactory healthcare services. Teamwork improves morale and organisational productivity by working towards attainment of organisational goal. During new team formation, individuals have to develop trust and fellowship among the team. Nursing care provided by a strong team delivers higher quality of patient care. Nurses functioning as members of healthy team report higher levels of job satisfaction and lower levels of burnout. So, a nurse manager should build a strong team, which can strongly portrait nurses’ role in health care system by improving patient care.

Published: May 2022

Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is a powerful method of evaluating the clinical competencies of the nursing students. To build the capacity of nursing faculty of af'Agrave;liated colleges under the TN Dr MGR Medical University in OSCE and implement OSCE as part of University practical examination for nursing students' workshops were conducted by The TN Dr MGR Medical University, Chennai. The study was conducted in 2 phases using pre-experimental one group pre-test and post-test research design. Phase 1 included 78 post graduate faculty members from 13 selected nursing colleges representing 6 specialities in nursing from various zones of Tamil Nadu, who were trained in OSCE. The baseline data of faculty, existing practice of OSCE in the selected nursing colleges and the knowledge of faculty in OSCE before and after the capacity building programme were assessed using a Structured Questionnaire. In phase 2 the trained faculty of the 13 colleges conducted similar workshops in selected zones of Tamil Nadu by including the faculty members (N =1002) from the nursing colleges. Data collection was done in a similar manner in all the zones. Study 'Agrave;ndings revealed that 38.4 percent of the colleges were already practicing OSCE. In Phase 1 there was a signi'Agrave;cant improvement in the OSCE knowledge scores of the faculty in post-test (M= 17.6, SD = 2.35) in comparison with the mean pre-test (M=13.75, SD =3.04), out of 20, the total score (p 'lt; 0.001). In phase 2 the faculty from Vellore, Tiruvannamalai, Tirunelveli, and Madurai reported higher mean difference scores between pre- and post-test. OSCE can be effectively used as part of formative and summative evaluation in Nursing. Nursing faculty members need be periodically trained in OSCE to implement it uniformly and effectively.

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have a significant role to play in schools and classrooms. The world is shifting towards a new digital era and school administrators and teachers must adapt to prepare their students for it. This study aimed to assess the ICT competency of high school administrators and teachers in Antique, Philippines in terms of cognitive ability, skills, and attitudes. The results showed that both school administrators and teachers rated themselves to have high proficiency in general computer uses and skills in using Microsoft Office and other productivity tools, use of the internet and data management. They were also rated to have high proficiency in applying ICTs in classrooms to create an ICT learning environment. However, the standard deviation shows that the ratings were varied, particularly for use of internet, data management, and application of ICTs in classrooms. There were no significant correlations between the proficiency of school administrator and teachers. However, sex, age, owned devices, internet speed, and hours using the internet per day were found to be significant factors.

MGNREGA enacted in 2005 as a social safety net based on right based framework to provide unskilled wages and employment to the needy households has gradually incorporated innovative schemes for creation of long-term durable assets to enhance the livelihoods of the participating households and making them self-reliant. This paper attempts to explore the impact of Horticulture initiative on small holders, underprivileged women & tribal households, which was initiated by Government of Jharkhand in 2016. The secondary data was accessed from the official website of MGNREGA for further analysis. A questionnaire-based interview of sampled beneficiaries of Horticulture Scheme from two Districts of South Chhotanagpur division of Jharkhand was administered for primary information. Case studies have been incorporated for creating support evidence for the study. The study reveals that the Horticulture Scheme under MGNREGA, “Birsa Munda Baagwani Yojana” (BMBY) has significant impact on the life of unskilled workers who became the beneficiaries of this scheme. Inclusion of scheduled tribe and schedule caste to this scheme is significant. It has accommodated the marginal landholding households to be the beneficiaries. Provision of associated training and support from NGOs, CBOs and administration have increased the coverage and inclusion of the marginal section and also ensured the technical assistance to most of the beneficiaries.

An investigation into the association between the cumulative effect of studying and practising manual therapeutic techniques and low back pain in chiropractic students
Authors:   , Fyfe Charmaine Chantel
Published: May 2022

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the cumulative effect of studying, and practising manual therapeutic techniques (including receiving manipulation), is associated with chiropractic students experiencing low back pain (LBP). According to Smith (2005), students currently registered in the Durban Institute of Technology Health faculty were found to have the highest proportion of LBP when compared to students in other faculties. Thirty seven percent of the students with LBP were chiropractic students. In a study performed by Macanuel et al. (2005) on undergraduate chiropractic training, it was concluded that chiropractic students experience side effects during chiropractic technique class. There is epidemiological evidence that chiropractors are a high-risk group of health professionals who experience low back disorders (Tim 1996, Lorme and Naqv 2003, Rupert and Ebete 2004). Rupert and Ebete (2004) suggest that the majority of chiropractors have suffered an occupational injury primarily related to administering manual procedures.

The immediate effect of spinal manipulative therapy on club head velocity in amateur golfers suffering from mechanical low back pain
Authors:   , Jermyn Gareth John
Published: May 2022

Background: Back pain among the golfing population is considered endemic as it has been recommended to golfers that they should attempt to use a state of maximal spinal rotation in their golf swing in order to achieve maximum ball distance. Evidence suggests that maximum spinal rotation range of motion will be more restricted in the golfers with low back pain, even though this maximum rotated position has been considered ideal for developing optimal Club Head Velocity (CHV). Research has demonstrated an approximate 1:3 relation between CHV and air travel (i.e. distance) of the golf ball. An increase in 1mph in CHV would increase air travel of the golf ball by approximately 3 yards. If one considers that CHV is primarily influenced by the strength and power of the torso (low back and abdominal muscles), muscle balance and flexibility, which are responsible for the static and dynamic postural stability of the golf swing, it stands to reason that low back pain, which has been identified as the most common problem affecting amateur golfers, will affect CHV. Objective: The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the immediate effect of spinal manipulative therapy on club head velocity in amateur golfers suffering from mechanical low back pain in terms of subjective and objective measures.

Authors:   , Marquis Janay
Published: May 2022

Lateral epicondylitis is the most common cause of chronic lateral elbow pain in adults (Bowen et al. 2001:642). No uniform treatment regime is available for lateral epicondylitis, although most authors do agree that treatment should begin with a conservative approach before progressing to more complex and invasive therapies (Kamien 1990:174). The purpose of this study was to investigate the relative effectiveness of dry needling myofascial trigger points of the forearm extensor muscles as an adjunct to cross friction massage, in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis.

What writing workshop tutors do
Authors: Travers Molly
Published: May 2022

Creative writing for adults is normally taught in writing workshops, and the assumption is that the best tutors will be published writers. Based on observations of academic, community and conference writing workshops in Australia, USA and UK, this paper explores the methods used by workshop tutors, whether practising writers, academics, or teachers who are interested in writing. Three writing workshop case studies are given in illustration. A standard format for conducting workshops is identified, but the success of the workshop is likely to depend on the intention of the tutor - whether to identify excellent writing and perhaps discourage poor writers, or to encourage all writers - and the intention of the student in attending that tutor’s writing workshops.
Relacje pomiędzy władzami centralnymi a władzami samorządowymi w świetle nowej ekonomii instytucjonalnej
Authors: OWSIAK KATARZYNA
Published: May 2022

The author tries to answer the question whether the new institutional economy may be more useful than the neoclassical economy in explaining economic and social relations existing within the institution of the state. The observed disturbances between central and local authorities, notably the attempts to diminish the role of self-government, can negatively affect the provision of public and social goods to the citizens, and consequently, lead to non-effective use of the limited resources and outlays. Based on her analysis of the concept of institution, the essence of the relation between central and local authorities and some concepts and methods of the new institutional economy, such as ‘principal – agent’ relationship, transaction costs, and cost–benefit analysis, the author concludes that the methods of the new institutional economy are useful in the analysis of the mechanism of the functioning of public authorities. Moreover, as in the case of the relationship between the economy and public institutions, there is a need for an institutional equilibrium within the system of public authorities (the state).

Published: May 2022

Benefiting from European Union financial aid since 1963, Turkey has been receiving financial support as part of the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA II) (2014–2020) available to candidate and potential candidate countries. There were 3 687 EU grant-assisted projects implemented in Turkey under the responsibility of the Central Finance and Contracts Unit (CFCU) until 2016. The total amount of grants for these projects was 452 million € and 381 million € of this amount was EU grant contribution. The aim of this study is to explore the impact of the EU’s financial aid rendered through these projects on the institutional capacity building and regional development. The research area covered by the study is one particular region of the country, namely NUTS-2 region TR82. Primary data was collected through a questionnaire sent to subjects sampled from institutions/organizations, which are located in the region and carried out projects received through the CFCU before 2016. The chi-square (χ2) test was used to test the relationship between the legal status, location (city), project management experience of the institutions/organizations surveyed and the effects related to institutional capacity building and regional development. The results of the analyses are presented and interpreted. Together these analyses show that EU grant-assisted projects implemented through the CFCU contribute to institutional capacity building and regional development.
