Effectiveness of Self-Instruction Module on Knowledge Regarding the Quality of Life of End Stage Renal Disorder Patients among Staff Nurses at a Selected Hospital, Mandya
Authors: Hashim Ajna S , K R Shobha
Published: October 2022

Background: Health, as defined by World Health Organization, is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Thus, in chronic diseases, the quality of life (QOL), which describes the patient health, is an essential scale for assessing the success of a treatment. Health-related QOL (HRQOL) is the subjective perception of the illness and its treatment on the physical, psychological, and social well-being. Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis (HD) experience the heavy burden of dialysis treatment through its physical dependence, mental influence, and the myriad symptoms of ESRD.
Objective: The study aims to assess the effectiveness of Self Instruction Module (SIM) on knowledge of clinical nurses regarding quality of life of end stage renal disorder patients at Adhichunchanagiri Hospital and Research Centre, Mandya, Karnataka.
Materials and Methods: Quantitative research approach and a pre-experimental one group pre-test post-test research design were used to accomplish the stated objectives. The investigator selected a sample of 60 nurses who were working in Adhichunchanagiri Hospital. The data were collected by using a self administered structured knowledge questionnaire. Planned teaching was given with appropriate A-V aid followed by pretest.
Result: Inferential and descriptive statistical analysis was performed by using SPSS-IBM 20. Results were calculated by using p value < 0.05. The results revealed that, in pretest 70% of the nurses had inadequate knowledge where as in posttest 68.3% of the nurses had gained adequate knowledge and the improvement was statistically significant at P<0.05.
Conclusion: The study result shows that after intervention knowledge regarding quality of life of end stage renal disorder patients among nurses were improved significantly.

Keywords: Effectiveness, self instruction module, quality of life, knowledge of staff nurses and end stage renal disorder.

Authors: Родович Юрий Владиславович
Published: October 2022

Цель данной статьи – проанализировать обстоятельства, при которых события 1990 и 1994 годов стали рубежными на пути к расширению Североатлантического блока на восток. В публикации показано, почему именно 1990 год стал отправной точкой на пути к продвижениюСевероатлантического альянса в сторону российских границ, а 1994 год открыл дорогу к реализации этого процесса. В связи с этим отмечаются роковая ошибка советского лидера М.С. Горбачева, допущенная при объединении Германии и упущенная им и президентом России Б.Н. Ельциным возможность при решении вопроса о выводе российских войск с территории Восточной Германии добиться приемлемых для страны условий и остановить продвижение НАТО в восточном направлении.

Determination of multi-modal dimension metric learning with application to web image retrieval
Authors: Zaboon Khalid Hameed
Published: October 2022

Many real-world applications, like multimedia retrieval, confront the difficulty of determining the distance between any two items on Multi-modal data. According to most current Dimension Metrics Learning (DML) techniques, distance metrics may be learned using just one feature type or an aggregated feature space where many features are simply connected. Even though DML has been extensively researched. This study proposes a new framework for online learning, as well as a new classroom learning system for online Multi-modal dimension metric learning (OMDML), that is both efficient and scalable. This paper proposes a low-rank OMDML calculation to reduce the expensive cost of DML on high-dimensional component space, which reduces the computational cost while maintaining extremely competitive or much higher learning accuracy. With the purpose of determining whether or not multi-modular image recovery calculations can be successfully implemented, a large number of experiments are carried out. In most datasets tested, the suggested approach consistently outperforms alternative state-of-the-art algorithms, according to extensive experimental results

Konfigurasi Ekspresi Keagamaan Artis Di Media Sosial
Authors: Mujrimin Bayu , Istiani Nurul , Aziz Muhammad
Published: October 2022

The religious expressions of the artist in the social media space have the potential to give an ambiguous impression to the public in responding to them. On the one hand, artists as religious people have the right to carry out their religious teachings in the public sphere. But on the other hand, the artist is also a public figure whose popularity is widely used by the industrial world. This study intends to identify the meaning of various religious expressions of some Indonesian artists in various accounts or social media channels. Through a phenomenological approach, the dramaturgical theory that was initiated by Erving Goffman is used as an analytical theory. This research data collection using observation and documentation techniques. Meanwhile, the data analysis technique is through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study conclude that religious expressions by some Indonesian artists in the social media space can be explained through three patterns. First, religious expression as religiosity. This pattern can be seen from the backstage which is shown as a religious person who carries out his religious teachings. Second, religious expression as a commodification of religion. This pattern can be seen from the appearance of the artists as brand ambassadors for certain business products. Third, religious expression as media capitalization. This pattern can be seen from the artist's religious expression following the media arrangement that emphasizes the elements of business and profit. The theoretical implication of this research shows that understanding and expression of religion can experience developments and changes in form in the dynamics of the construction of socio-cultural life.

Climate warming due to increases in atmospherictemperature and heavy metal contamination constitutesa major issue for the aquatic ecosystem. Heavy metal toxicity hinges on an organismâs tolerable limit ofexposure to these elements, and in the aquatic environment, higher temperatures enhances this toxicity infish. The purpose of this study was to investigate the combined effects of higher temperature and differentfeed uptake on Hg and Cd accumulation in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Fish were exposed to asingle concentration of 10 Î¼g/l mercury (Hg) or 100 Î¼g/l cadmium (Cd) for 30 days under 24 Â°C (roomtemperature) and 32 Â°C (elevated temperature) conditions in a 7-L aquaria. The feed used in this experimentcomprised pellets, water and pellets, and water and silkworms, in combination with temperature andheavy metal exposure. Results demonstrated Hg and Cd accumulation in flesh, kidney and liver increasedwith increasing temperature. The influence of different uptake mediahas an effect onHg and Cdconcentration levels in fish organs. The order of Hg and Cd accumulation in organs, from the highest levelto the lowest, was kidney, liver and flesh.

Published: October 2022

Trees utilised by elephants often undergo a significant amount of damage compared to trees utilised byother browsers. Woody plants play a crucial role in plant community dynamics, species composition, andthe savannah systemâs functioning. As drivers ofecosystems, elephants are capable of transforming habitatsin terms of structure and species composition. In this paper, the damage caused by elephants on differentselected tree species in Venetia-Limpopo Nature Reserve was studied following a field-based approach.Field data collected for trees included the species name, GPS location, tree height class, extent, and type ofdamage resulting from elephant foraging. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) was usedto evaluate vegetationâs vigour using Landsat-5 imagery. A Multiple Ring Buffer Tool was used to extractmean NDVI values of buffer rings spread around waterholes at 400-metre intervals. The impact on woodyvegetation along the vegetation gradient, âPiosphereâ, was evaluated. NDVI values extracted for the differentyears indicate that the impact on woody vegetationdegradation along the Piosphere gradient is negligible.There was no statistically significant relationship (Pearson correlation r3= â0.500, P = 0.391), trend or patternbetween the number of damaged trees and the type of damage. Different trees at different height classeswere utilised inconsistently by elephants. The dominant (45%) type of damage was for Broken Main Stem(BMS), with the lowest (1%) damage being for BarkStripping (BS). Overall, there was a statistically significantdifference (Pearson correlation r3= 0.973, P = 0.146) between the number of trees selected by elephants inthe various height classes. Trees between 3 m and 4 mwere the most selected and the impact seemed to bestabilising at these tree heights. Additional studies need to be focused on the recruitment rates of elephantforaged trees in the reserve to prevent local extirpation of these species in the future.

In recent years, various local materials on a global scalehave been valued and research has multiplied,which has advanced the science of materials. Among these local materials which consume little energy, wecite raw earth which offers the advantages of a fullyvirtuous life cycle as well as plant fibers which arefrequently found in several regions of Tunisian territory.These materials have recently received increasedattention as an ecological and green alternative and havearoused the interest of a certain number of scientificworks in order to characterize this material and other natural materials available locally with a view tousing them in the construction and thermo-acoustic insulation of buildings. Raw earth is one of the modernbuilding materials, although it has been used worldwide for millennia, due to its hygrothermal, acousticand mechanical performance. It is a natural material available in abundance and easily recyclable. It oftendoes not require any purchase, transport or major transformation. This article aims firstly to present a stateof the art of building with raw earth (adobe) combined with plant fibers. The latter used as reinforcementin composite materials have specific competitive mechanical properties compared to those of syntheticfibers (glass, carbon, ...) and are an environmentallyfriendly alternative to these fibers because of their lowcost, low density, biodegradability and availability. Secondly, we present our approach to formulate anearth mortar allowing the making of blocks of adobe, intended for the construction of works such as walls,arches and domes. Adobe is stabilized and reinforced withtreated rush fibers.

The upstream to downstream problems of waste increase from year to year. The data shows that this iscaused by the lack of community understanding of waste treatment and sorting. Research data on campusand municipal waste show that the most consumed types of food and beverages on campuses are packagedrice (65.8%) and drinks with plastic packaging (49.4%). Thus, there is great potential for the accumulation ofinorganic waste generated from consumption activities on campus. This research focuses on the wastemanagement paradigm shift in campuses and urban communities, from a linear economy to a circulareconomy. This research uses the socio-legal research method. It is hoped that this paradigm shift does notonly strengthen and support the governmentâs program, namely zero waste but also provide more economicbenefits for the community, through circular economy-based waste management. In addition to a cleanand healthy environment, the community can also use waste as a source of additional income.

Comunicación del diagnóstico de enfermedad de Alzheimer: reflexiones bioéticas
Authors: Labos Edith , Fustinoni Osvaldo
Published: October 2022

Al comunicar al paciente el diagnóstico de enfermedad de Alzheimer, pueden originarse situaciones no acordes con la necesaria conducta ética profesional. Presentamos dos casos en los que, al actuarse con imprudencia, no se respetó el requisito de no maleficencia, En ambos casos la revelación diagnóstica empeoró la situación previa a la consulta, provocando en el paciente y su familia decisiones y consecuencias desafortunadas. El uso abrupto y cortante del término “Alzheimer”, junto a la información insuficiente sobre las características de la afección, parece haber sido el factor principal de un impacto emotivo negativo, mostrando una actitud profesional dueña de un saber “absoluto” e inapelable, en un vínculo sin equidad. El acto de comunicar un diagnóstico debe ajustarse al criterio de prudencia, y no solamente al de veracidad o exactitud, evitando por sobre todas las cosas provocar un daño mayor al ya causado por la enfermedad.
