Published: February 2017

Introduction: Shieffield Peer Review Assessment (SPRAT) is an instrument to assess medical student’s performance using Multi Source Feedback (MSF) method. The previous study stated that MSF with SPRAT is an effective tool assessing professional behaviour (PB) of nursing students both in clinical setting and community setting. However it needs more items to be added. Based on that explanation, it needs conducting validity and reliability test to make sure that the tool is valid and reliable. Method: There were two types of validity test used, content validity test and construct validity test as well as reliability test, namely inter-rater reliability test and item covariance test. Participants were four clinical instructors and 116 nursing students. Result: Content validity test showed that two items must be added as part of assessment item, namely diciplines and faithness. Furthermore construct validity test showed that five items were not valid since they had pearson correlation score <0.3. However the items were included as consideration of nursing students’s PB. Inter-rater reliability test and item covariance reliability test showed that the tool was reliable with score 0.460 and 0.912 respectively. Discussion: The assessment tool can be applied to assess PB of nursing students since it valid and reliable. It needs to investigate the effectiveness of the tool in difference of PB of nursing students.Keywords: validity, reliability, assessment tool of PB (professional behaviour)

Published: February 2017

This study presented performance data on a low cost and easy maintenance pilot system for on-site treatment and reuse of water collected from wash sinks and fountains, as major sources of greywater (GW) at schools. Various treatment options were studied including screening, sand filtration, chlorination, and UV disinfection operated at different flow rates. Results showed that filtration operated at low rates is very effective in total suspended solids (TSS) removal, while UV proved to be more effective than chlorination for reduction of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and total coliforms. Removal efficiencies up to 63%, 30% and 20% were obtained for TSS, COD and BOD, respectively and reductions of log TC (CFU/100 ml) from 6.5 to 2 were obtained at a filtration rate of 14 m3/d·m2. Treated effluent satisfied WHO standards for reclaimed water reuse in landscape irrigation and toilet flushing. The filtration-UV system is robust, showing the best and most reliable performance for low and high strength GW treatment even under a 10-fold increase in flow rate. A 5 m3/d pilot plant was developed for schools having 500 students and detailed cost-benefit analysis indicated a net saving value, a surplus of $1,600 per year, and pay back after 6 years and 11 months.

En los resultados se halló que la causa principal de la deserción escolar es el factor económico, que los llevó a incursionar en el campo laboral de la agricultura, albañilería, comercio, oficios varios y ventas. En cuanto al factor familiar, se identifica un porcentaje alto de familias monoparentales que viven con uno de sus padres, especialmente, con la progenitora. A nivel personal, se encontró un alto porcentaje de jóvenes con desmotivación, causada por la situación socioeconómica, la lejanía de la institución educativa y la necesidad de laborar para suplir sus necesidades básicas.
Bildungsreformen und die Neukonstituierung der Schweizer Bildungsforschung in den 1960er- und 1970er-Jahren
Authors: Criblez Lucien
Published: February 2017

Schlüsselwörter: Bildungsreformen, Bildungssystem, gesellschafts- und wirtschaftspolitische MotivenDie Bildungsreformen der 1960er- und 1970er-Jahre führten in der Schweiz insbesondere zu einem quantitativen Wachstum des Bildungssystems. Motoren dafür waren erstens die Demografie (Bevölkerungswachstum durch Geburtenüberschuss und Zuwanderung), zweitens wirtschaftspolitische Motive (Mangel an qualifiziertem Nachwuchs), drittens gesellschaftspolitische Motive (mehr Chancengleichheit durch die Öffnung der höheren Bildung) und letztlich bildungspolitische Motive, insbesondere die Verkleinerung der Klassen und die Verlängerung der obligatorischen Schulzeit auf neun Jahre. Im Rahmen der Reformen wurden zwar der Kindergarten ausgebaut, das Unterrichtsobligatorium verlängert, neue Mittelschultypen geschaffen und der tertiäre Bildungsbereich ausgebaut. Aber in wesentlichen Bereichen (Sekundarstufe I, Gymnasium, Lehrerbildung, Universität) konnten keine strukturell tiefgreifenden Reformen durchgeführt werden – es kam zu wesentlichen Reformstaus, die erst in den 1990er-Jahren aufgelöst werden konnten.Von der Gemengenlage von Reformimpulsen, Reformversuchen, Reformprojekten und Reformblockaden profitierte insbesondere die Bildungsforschung. Mit dem Ziel einer „rationalen Bildungspolitik“ (Widmaier, 1966) wurden insbesondere in den kantonalen Bildungsadministrationen Bildungsplanungsstellen eingerichtet. Sie sollten als wissenschaftliche Informationsfunktionen die wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen für die Bildungspolitik beschaffen. Zwar wuchs im Zuge des Ausbaus der Hochschulen auch die universitäre Erziehungswissenschaft. Aber die Funktionalisierung der Wissenschaft beförderte ein primär utilitaristisches Konzept von Bildungsforschung, das teilweise bis heute nicht überwunden ist.

Introducción: Nuestro objetivo es evaluar el impacto de la participación activa del especialista en Patología Infecciosa en el pronóstico de los enfermos con bacteriemia/candidemia. Pacientes y métodos: Estudio observacional, longitudinal y prospectivo de una cohorte de pacientes con bacteriemia/candidemia en un hospital de tercer nivel (2010-2011). Se analizaron los factores asociados con fracaso terapéutico (persistencia de la bacteriemia/candidemia o muerte relacionada) mediante análisis bivariante y multivariante. Resultados: Se valoraron un total de 324 episodios de bacteriemia/candidemia significativa, de los que en 252 pacientes (78%) el Servicio de Medicina Interna Infecciosas aplicó un sistema de participación activa (recomendación sobre el tratamiento antibiótico). La adquisición de la bacteriemia se consideró nosocomial o relacionada con cuidados sanitarios en 154 pacientes (47,5%) y comunitaria en 170 (52,5%). Los focos de infección más frecuentemente identificados fueron: urinario (31%), catéter vascular (14%), intraabdominal (12%) y desconocido (15%). El 31,6% era portador de sonda vesical y el 35,4%, de catéter venoso central. El 24% de los pacientes no presentaban fiebre (>38 °C) en el momento de cursar los hemocultivos. La bacteriemia fue persistente en 35 pacientes (11%). La mortalidad global fue del 17,4% y del 15% relacionada («fracaso» terapéutico, 20%). Se asociaron a un mayor fracaso terapéutico el índice de Pitt ≥ 3 (OR 7,94), McCabe III (OR 3,11), uso previo de antibióticos (OR 2,93) y la ausencia de participación activa de los especialistas clínicos en Patología Infecciosa (OR 2,44). Conclusiones: En la cohorte de pacientes con bacteriemia/candidemia estudiada, la gravedad de la enfermedad de base, la gravedad al inicio, el uso previo de antibióticos y la ausencia de participación activa de los especialistas clínicos en Patología Infecciosa se asociaron a fracaso terapéutico.

Published: February 2017

The mechanical properties of nanocomposites obtained by incorporation of fairly uniform hematite nanorods (?-Fe2O3 NRs) into epoxy resin were studied as a function of the content of the inorganic phase. A thorough microstructural characterization of the ?-Fe2O3 NRs and the nanocomposites was performed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The TEM measurements revealed rod-like morphology of the nanofiller with a uniform size distribution (8.5 nm?170 nm, diameter?length). High-magnification TEM and AFM measurements indicated agglomeration of ?-Fe2O3 NRs embedded in the epoxy resin. Stress at break, strain at break, elastic modulus and tensile toughness of the nanocomposites were compared with the data obtained for pure epoxy resin. Significant influence of nanofiller on the mechanical properties of epoxy resin, as well as on the glass transition temperature, could be noticed for samples with low contents of the inorganic phase (up to 1 wt. %).

Published: February 2017

Solvent extraction is an efficient, economical and widely-used technology for the purification of wet process phosphoric acid (WPA). This present work focused on the development of a solvent extraction system, TC, representing tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) and cyclohexanol mixtures. The equilibrium phase diagram of the system H3PO4?H2O?TC at 298.2 K and atmospheric pressure was obtained. The effects of extraction time, phosphoric acid concentration, extractant concentration, temperature and phase volume ratio on extraction efficiency were studied. The extracted complexes were estimated to be 1.8H3PO4 2TC. The extraction process of H3PO4 was exothermic and the enthalpy change, ?H, was obtained. The solvent mixtures had a high efficiency for phosphoric acid purification via multi-stage counter-current extraction from the industrial WPA in a reciprocating plate extraction column with an H3PO4 extraction yield of 85.08 % at 313.2 K. The stability, extraction efficiency and recycling capability of TC for H3PO4 extraction were also estimated.
Improving listening comprehension skills relying on metacognitive strategies - focus on vocabulary and specific l2 instruction
Authors: Jerotijevic-Tisma Danica
Published: February 2017

The present paper aims at investigating the application of an instructional
method specifically focused on the expansion of metacognitive awareness and
its effect on Serbian EFL students? listening comprehension. The current
study is a follow-up research of a similar study by Vandergrift and
Tafaghodtari (2010). However, we sought to expand the previous research by
investigating the relationship between the students? current level of L2
(target language) vocabulary and listening test scores. Our study likewise
differed in the sample of participants, the target language, teaching and
testing material used, and the duration of the very experiment. To answer the
proposed research questions we conducted an experiment with 57 Serbian
secondary school EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learners divided into
experimental (n=27) and control group (n=30). The results of the pre- and
post-tests of the two groups showed the beneficial effects of developing
metacognitive strategies and the strong positive correlation between the
level of vocabulary and listening comprehension. The paper underlines
important pedagogical implications especially regarding the enhancement of
metacognitive awareness and vocabulary proficiency of students in order to
improve performance on listening comprehension tasks.
The relationship between working memory and mathematical skills in third-grade primary school students
Authors: Kovacic-Popovic Anita , Vujanovic Marina
Published: February 2017

Working memory is an important factor that accounts for individual
differences in mathematics achievement among children. A specific component
of working memory is the visuospatial working memory, responsible for
maintenance and processing of visual and spatial information significant for
successful task completion. This research was aimed at examining whether
there is a link between visuospatial working memory and the level of
acquisition of mathematical skills. The research was conducted in primary
schools in Belgrade in the second academic term of the year 2016. The sample
included 103 students of both genders, aged 9 to 10. In order to assess the
visuospatial working memory we used the Houses Recognition test and the
Jigsaw Puzzle task. Bearing in mind the results of the Neuropsychological
Test Battery for Number Processing and Calculation in Children, a group of
children with learning difficulties in mathematics was formed. The results
indicated that the capacity of visuospatial working memory was directly
proportional to the results of the test of mathematical skills. The analysis
of the results of mathematical skills has shown that there was a significant
correlation between the children with difficulties and those without
difficulties in learning mathematics (p<0.05). Furthermore, there is a
difference between these two groups at the level of both active and passive
visuospatial working memory, with the better results achieved by the students
with no learning difficulties in mathematics. Visuospatial working memory is
very significant for the acquisition of mathematical skills and achievement
in mathematics.
Management of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: A Call to Action
Authors: Bril Fernando , Cusi Kenneth
Published: February 2017

Traditionally a disease of hepatologists, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has recently become a major concern for a broad spectrum of health care providers. Endocrinologists and those caring for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are at center stage, as T2DM appears to worsen the course of NAFLD and the liver disease makes diabetes management more challenging. However, the nature of this relationship remains incompletely understood. Although the increasing prevalence of NAFLD is frequently attributed to the epidemic of obesity and is often oversimplified as the “hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome,” it is a much more complex disease process that may also be observed in nonobese individuals and in patients without clinical manifestations of the metabolic syndrome. It carries both metabolic and liver-specific complications that make its approach unique among medical conditions. Diabetes appears to promote the development of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), the more severe form of the disease, and increases the risk of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Patients and physicians face many uncertainties, including fragmented information on the natural history of the disease, challenges in the diagnosis of NASH, and few pharmacological agents with proven efficacy. However, recent advances in diagnosis and treatment, combined with the risk of serious consequences from inaction, call for health care providers to be more proactive in the management of patients with T2DM and NASH.
