Authors: Akatyeva T. G.
Published: June 2020

In the town of Armizonskoye, Tyumen Region, Russia, industrial enterprises emit more than 230 tons of various pollutants into the air, and only about 50% of that total is retained. In this work the quality of atmospheric air in Armizonskoye was studied using the bioindication method. The objectives of the study were to identify the main pollutants in the air and to determine the most sensitive test functions of woody and herbaceous plants. The chemical method was used to determine the quantity and array of substances, emitted by some enterprises in different parts of the town. The bioindicators were common dandelion Taraxacum officinale Wigg, great plantain Plantago major L., warty birch Betula pendula Roth, and boxelder maple Aceraceae nequndo. The chemical analysis showed that the air is mainly polluted with iron oxide, manganese compounds, and suspended solids. The main sources of pollution are utility companies, Armizonagrostroy, and road maintenance companies. The most sensitive indicator among woody plants was boxelder maple, and among herbaceous plants, common dandelion. The bioindication method helped to map more and less polluted territories.
Exploring Consequences of U.S. Withdrawal from Afghanistan: An Overview and Perspective on Economy
Authors: Ramez Sayed , Raju Valliappan
Published: June 2020

Since 2003, the economic situation, life expectancy, and per capita income of
Afghanistan were increasing. This was mainly due to foreign aid reported $83
billion from 2003 to 2016. 90% of Afghanistan's military budget was also coming
from international donors. The role of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO) forces was strengthening the Afghan government. However, recently the
USA has decided to withdraw its troops. It is expected that the rest of NATO forces
will also evacuate Afghanistan. The whole process of withdraw of USA of
Afghanistan is mainly discussed in the military perspective in literature. There are
fewer articles on the expected economic impact of USA withdrawal. Therefore, this
research paper has provided an overview of the existing situation of the Afghan
economy, in parallel with war impacts and consequences of US withdrawal. The
paper concludes that in one USA evacuation will result in the diminishing of foreign
aid and reduction in the legitimacy of government, yet it will create opportunities
for Afghanistan to strengthen its relationship with neighbors and strengthen its
foundation.

Published: June 2020

Bazı üniversiteler, ön lisans, lisans ve lisansüstü eğitim programlarında yer alan dersleri ve zorunlu ortak derslerin tümünü veya bir kısmını uzaktan eğitim uygulamasıyla yürütmeye başlamıştır. Bu değişikliğin sebebi, artan öğrenci gereksinimlerine cevap verebilmek, onlara nitelikli bir eğitim sunmak ve çağın gerektirdiği bireysel gelişimi destekleyebilmektir. Araştırmanın amacı, üniversite eğitim programlarında yer alan zorunlu ortak derslerden yabancı dil dersinin uzaktan eğitim uygulamasının öğrenci görüşlerine göre değerlendirilmesidir. Araştırmanın modeli betimsel, yöntemi ise niteldir. Araştırmanın çalışma evreni 100 öğrenciden oluşmaktadır. Bu öğrencilerden 50’si Gazi Üniversitesi’nde, 2016-2017 öğretim yılında, Fen Edebiyat, Mühendislik, Tıp, Eğitim ve Hukuk Fakültelerinin birinci sınıfında öğrenim gören öğrencilerdir. Diğer 50’si ise 2015- 2016 öğretim yılında, aynı fakültelerden mezun olan öğrencilerdir. Veriler, görüşme tekniği ile toplanmıştır. Veri toplama aracı ise yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formudur. Verilerin analizinde, içerik analizi tekniği kullanılmıştır. Bulgulara göre yabancı dil dersinin uzaktan ve yüz yüze eğitim uygulamalarında olumsuz öğrenci görüşleri çoğunluktadır. Öğrenciler, uzaktan eğitim uygulamasının içerik boyutunda içeriğin basit ve yetersiz olduğunu, ders işlenişi (eğitim durumu) boyutunda öğretim elemanlarının etkili öğretim yöntem ve teknikler kullanmadığını ve ölçme ve değerlendirme boyutunda sınavların basit olduğunu belirtmiştir. Bu bulguların, uzaktan eğitim uygulayan kurumlar, uygulayıcılar ve Yükseköğretim Kurulu (YÖK) tarafından dikkate alınması, öğretimin niteliğinin arttırılmasına katkı sağlayabilir.

[THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DESCENDANT WAQF IN TERENGGANU] PELAKSANAAN WAKAF ZURIAT DI TERENGGANU
Authors: Mohamad Mohd Ridzuan , Mohd Yusoff Zurita , Nordin Nadhirah
Published: June 2020

Wakaf zuriat merupakan warisan penting bagi umat Islam. Pelbagai aspek yang menjadi perhatian terutamanya dari sudut tadbir urus wakaf. Wakaf Zuriat telah lama dikuatkuasakan di negeri Terengganu, ia bermula sejak belum kemerdekaan lagi. Hingga kini, kedudukan wakaf zuriat telah dikanunkan di dalam Enakmen Wakaf (Negeri Terengganu) 2016. Justeru, mengenai permasalahan pelaksanaan wakaf zuriat yang menjadi perhatian iaitu pertama bagaimana kedudukan ahli zuriat yang tidak mempunyai waris dan apakah peranan pihak penguasa terhadap status wakaf tersebut, kedua ikrar perwakafan yang sukar difahami, ketiga hasil manfaat tanah wakaf yang rendah dan apakah faktornya. Permasalahan ini juga mendapat perhatian oleh pihak Jabatan Audit Negara pada tahun 2014. Objektif kajian ini akan meneliti terhadap tiga aspek tersebut. Kajian ini dilaksanakan melalui reka bentuk kajian kualitatif dan pendekatan pula mengaplikasikan kaedah penerokaan. Data-data yang diperolehi melalui proses temu bual beberapa pegawai MAIDAM dan sumber atau rekod rasmi daripada jabatan tersebut. Kajian ini mendapati bahawa status ahli zuriat iaitu 3/12 adalah aktif manakala 9/12 dalam usaha pencarian oleh pihak MAIDAM. Bagi ikrar perwakafan pula, 6/12 ditulis dalam bahasa rumi manakala 6/12 lagi ditulis dalam bahasa jawi. Salah satu ikrar wakaf yang telah diteliti semula dan perlu mendapat keabsahan oleh Jawatankuasa Fatwa Negeri Terengganu iaitu wakaf zuriat Haji Abdullah Bin Mohamad al-Fatani. Manakala hasil pendapatan wakaf, ianya kurang memberangsangkan. Pihak pewaris masih memperolehi pulangan manfaat wakaf pada kadar yang rendah. Ini disebabkan pembangunan ke atas tanah-tanah wakaf zuriat yang sedia ada adalah bukan dalam bentuk komersial. Walau bagaimana pun, pihak MAIDAM dalam usaha ke arah membangun tanah wakaf tersebut dengan kerjasama pihak pemaju atau badan-badan yang berkaitan. Kesimpulannya, jika wakaf zuriat dapat diperkasakan dengan lebih optima maka warisan ini menjadi pemacu terhadap pembangunan sosio-ekonomi umat Islam di negara ini khususnya di negeri Terengganu.

Background: Cytogenetic analysis performed at diagnosis is considered to be the most important prognostic factor in AML. Objective: The purpose of this study was to observe the pattern of cytogenetic abnormalities in adult patients with de novo AML. Method: Total fifty-two newly diagnosed de novo AML patients were selected for the study. Six cytogenetic abnormalities including t(8;21), t(15;17), inv(16), BCR-ABL1, FLT3-ITD & NPM1 mutations were detected by Real-Time PCR. Results: In this study, 36 (69.2%) patients showed different cytogenetic abnormalities. The t(15;17) was found to be the most common. t(15;17), t(8;21) and inv(16) were found only in M3, M2 and M4 FAB subtypes, respectively. Significant association was found with increasing age and cytogenetic risk groups. BCR-ABL1 mutation showed significant relation with increased age. FLT3-ITD mutation showed significant association with increased WBC count and inv16 was significantly associated with relatively less bone marrow blast percentage. Conclusion: Cytogenetic study should be performed routinely in all cases of AML for proper diagnosis, prediction of prognosis and implementation of effective therapeutic measures.

Capitalizing on Economic Function of the Institution of Zakāt in Modern Economy
Authors: Ahmed Shaikh Salman
Published: June 2020

This study analyzes the economic potential of the institution of Zakāt on income redistribution, poverty and aggregate demand. Through a mathematical exposition, we show that if a person keeps idle investible wealth, then Zakāt will deplete the idle wealth over time. On the macroeconomic front, proportional Zakāt linked with income will act as an automatic stabilizer. If an economy is in disequilibrium and policies fail to immediately recover and boost incomes, wealth Zakāt will enable the distributive allocation that works independently of the business cycles and will help in stabilizing the extremes of the business cycles. In this way, wealth Zakāt will act as a permanent stabilizer. We discuss that Zakāt is an important tool for redistributing income and it can also increase aggregate spending. The redistribution from people with lower MPC to people with higher MPC will boost aggregate spending even with the same level of aggregate income. Finally, we recommend certain steps at the policy and implementation level so that the institution of Zakāt can be effectively utilized to contribute in poverty alleviation. We recommend that it is appropriate to disburse Zakāt at the federal level. This way, the regional disparities can be reduced more effectively. To gain the trust and the confidence of people, it is vital to improve the governance and transparency. In this regard, we recommend that the Zakāt collection and disbursement details shall be reported in a standard way periodically. We also highlight the importance of creating synergies between Zakāt and other welfare programs. We also draw attention towards modifying the accounting standards to achieve transparent computation, assessment and collection.

West Sumatra Province has a high Muslim population and also has a high amount of zakat funds even though it is not yet potential. Regulation of zakat which is different from other provinces in West Sumatra is the existence of compulsory zakat regulations which are directly deducted from salaries for the State Civil Apparatus (ASN). This has a positive impact on the collection of zakat funds in West Sumatra. This should be accompanied by the application of good zakat to reduce poverty. This study used questionnaire to obtain primary data in the province of West Sumatera. This study had 200 respondents, uses poverty indicators and the average time taken to exit poverty as an analysis tool. The results of this study indicate that zakat can be an instrument to reduce poverty, by empowering zakat effectively and increasing economic growth. This research also proves more concisely when the poor can exit of poverty if compared with the absence of zakat application. As for the implications given in this study, the government is expected to be able to support the existence of zakat as an instrument to reduce poverty and achieve the fulfillment of the potential of zakat which is maximized in the collection.

Authors: Zulim Patricia , Perera Anjali , Stutzman Sonja , Olson Daiwai
Published: June 2020

Background: Stroke survivors are a higher risk for post-stroke depression (PSD) after they return home from the hospital. Given that many stroke patients have friends or family members (care partners) present after hospital discharge, this pilot study examined the utility of psychiatric nurses educating family members on how to recognize PSD.

Methods: This pilot study identified stroke patients and their care partner while they were in the hospital, to provide education on depressive symptoms, community resources, safety resources (e.g., suicide hotline), how to address symptoms of depression with their care partner. A descriptive observational design was used wherein a psychiatric delivered PSD education to the patient’s care partner (instead of the patient). Knowledge of depression was assessed immediately prior to-, immediately after-, and at a 2-week follow-up after-, the education intervention.

Results: This pilot study was not powered to detect a statistically significant difference. However, among the 20 subjects (mean age 61 years), fewer scores fell in the lower range (less knowledge of depression) immediately after the education and at the 2-week follow-up phone call.

Conclusion: This study demonstrates the potential of multi-disciplinary nursing consultation to improve outcomes.

The study determined the six key components of health care access: approachability, availability, accessibility, affordability, acceptability, and accommodation, as perceived by a rural community in Taytay, Rizal, Philippines.

Methods: This descriptive-cross sectional study included a convenience sample of 62 participants. The Perceived Access to Health Care Instrument was utilized. Frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and univariate linear regression were used to analyze the data.

Results: The study revealed that health care access in terms of approachability was rated as good, whereas availability was rated as good, and accessibility was rated as fair. On the other hand, the affordability of health care services was rated as good, the acceptability was rated as good while the accommodation was rated as fair. It was also revealed that none of the demographic profiles significantly predicted the perceived access to health care

Conclusion: Assessment of health care access is an important measure of health care equity and despite several factors previously shown to affect health care access, the results of this study showed that the participants have good access to health care in their community
Reflections of Positive Experiences in Midwifery and Nursing of Maternal-Newborn Education in Thailand: Lessons Learned from Naresuan University
Authors: Buakhai Pantipa , Rithpho Pratuma
Published: June 2020

The success of maternal and child health practices emphasizes on health policies, building effective partnerships, advocating for investments in maternal and newborn health, and coordinating research that focuses on improving maternal health in pregnancy and during and after childbirth.  In these situations, nurses and midwives are the key resources that comprise the greater part of the health-care workforce. Nurses and midwives make substantial contributions to healthcare delivery systems especially in primary care, acute care, and community care setting. Thailand has an excellent production of nurses since they can perform duties as a nurse and as a midwife. This is what we think nurses from other countries should apply in their countries to improve health services. We can also show that our country has a low gender gap in employment not just in nursing. This paper would like to present the lessons learned from Thailand Nursing Education purposed in midwifery, maternal, and newborn nursing at Naresuan University. Specifically, the purpose of this article was to discuss the midwife and maternal and newborn education standards in Thailand and describe the experiences using reflective knowledge in order to inform current and future midwifery and maternal and newborn nursing practices in Thailand.
“Hulas at Hiya”: Reflections on Filipino Context of Human-Connectedness and the Nature of Nursing
Authors: Martinez Rudolf Cymorr Kirby
Published: June 2020

This paper, through the lens of ethnography, explores and analyze the Filipino concept of hulas and hiya as the context of human-connectedness and its implication to the contemporary understanding of the nature of nursing and the process of knowing persons as persons. It is argued that the concepts of hiya and hulas are social constructs deeply ingrained in the Filipino psyche and society. Both markedly influence how Filipino persons present themselves and act in accordance with their unique and complex social dynamics. As such, this paper supports the idea that between the dichotomy of social and medical sciences, the discipline of Nursing shares the paradigmatic orientation and values of the former more than the latter. It is implied that education in nursing at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels must include scholarship, research, and studies on the prevailing local cultural knowledge to shed a deeper appreciation of unique practices and concepts affecting the understanding of nursing science and its expression as a discipline.
Evaluation of Adnexal Masses with Gray Scale Ultrasonography and Color Doppler Flow Imaging in the First Trimester of Pregnancy
Authors: Khan Midrarullah , Zubair Muhammad
Published: June 2020

Sonography is common use in early pregnancy has led to the exposure of incidental adnexal masses more often. Assessment of grayscale and color Doppler sonography outcomes is as precise when based on static images. To determine the evaluation of adnexal masses with grayscale ultrasonography and color Doppler flow imaging in first trimester of pregnancy. This Cross Sectional study was conducted at the Department of Radiology, Jinnah Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan. The study was conducted from July to Dec 2019. The patients were selected by nonprobability convenience sampling. All pregnant patients were undergoing abdominal ultrasonography to detect the adnexal masses. The data was collected by the questionnaire. Overall 68 individuals involved in this study out of which 29(96.7%) are benign diseases on the left side of patients and malignant are only 1(3.3%). Patients having benign diseases of right-sided are 33(86.8%) and malignant are 5(13.2%). Benign diseases are 62(91.2%) out of which 43 patients had cystic, 15 are mixed and 4 are solid components.  Malignant diseases are found only 6 patients out of which 3 are mixed and 3 are solid components. Majority of the adnexal masses identified in pregnancy is benign and will resolve suddenly. Doppler sonography has severe limitations in the differentiation of benign from malignant adnexal disease on the basis of low-impedance flow.
Simulation of Energy Bands for Metal and Semiconductor Junction
Authors: Kyaw Wut Hmone , Aye May Nwe Myint
Published: June 2020

This paper presents the metal-semiconductor band structure analysis for metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET). The energy bands were observed at metal-semiconductor and semiconductor-metal junctions. The simulation results show energy variations by using gallium-nitride (GaN) material. Gallium nitride based MOSFETs have some special material properties and wide band-gap. From the energy band, the condition of contact potential, conduction and valence band-edges can be analyzed. The computerized simulation results for getting the band layers are investigated with MATLAB programming language.

Prognostic Value of Hyperreflective Material on Visual Acuity in Treatment-Naïve BRVO
Authors: Venkatesh Ramesh , Pereira Arpitha , Sangai Sajjan , Thomas Sherina , Yadav Naresh Kumar
Published: June 2020

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:

To correlate between hyperreflective material (HRM) seen on optical coherence tomography (OCT) and visual outcomes in treatment-naïve acute branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).

PATIENTS AND METHODS:

Demographic and OCT features of patients with acute BRVO were analyzed retrospectively. OCT parameters noted were macular edema type, HRM presence and location, and outer retinal layer integrity. Eyes were separated into two groups: Group 1 (BRVO without HRM) and Group 2 (BRVO with HRM).

RESULTS:

Forty-seven eyes (67%) were included in Group 1 and 23 eyes (33%) were included in Group 2. Mean presenting logMAR visual acuity in Groups 1 and 2 was 0.521 ± 0.428 (mean Snellen equivalent = 20/66) and 0.627 ± 0.427 (mean Snellen equivalent = 20/85), respectively. Poor vision at final visit was noted in the BRVO with HRM group (
P
= .027). More intravitreal injections were required for macular edema resolution in the HRM group (4.83 vs. 2.67).

CONCLUSIONS:

Presence of HRM in BRVO is associated with poorer vision. It can be a useful prognostic biomarker.

Utility of a Genetic Screening Panel in Patients With Suspected Inherited Retinal Dystrophies
Authors: McGowan Heather , Madreperla Olivia R. , Snyder Alexandra L. , Fine Howard F.
Published: June 2020

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:

To evaluate disease characteristics and frequencies of genetic mutations in a cohort of patients with known or suspected retinal dystrophies.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:

A cohort of 37 patients with known or suspected retinal dystrophies received genetic testing with a panel of 31 genes known to result in the development of retinal dystrophies. Disease characteristics identified during chart review were analyzed and related back to their associated genetic mutations in an attempt to link clinical features with genotypes.

RESULTS:

Eighteen of 37 patients (48.6%) tested positive for a variant(s) in one or more of the 31 genes tested. Mutations were discovered in 14 of the 31 genes, with
USH2A
being the most frequently mutated gene. Both gene-positive and gene-negative patient groups had similar disease characteristics including reduced visual acuity, legal blindness, dyschromatopsia, nyctalopia, and reduced peripheral vision.

CONCLUSIONS:

This investigation demonstrates the utility of genetic testing in a cohort of patients who carry a clinical diagnosis of retinal dystrophy. In this cohort, a significant number of patients had a genetic mutation or variant identified.

Two congruences concerning Apéry numbers conjectured by Z.-W. Sun
Authors: Wang Chen
Published: June 2020

Let $ n $ be a nonnegative integer. The $ n $-th Apéry number is defined by

   $ A_n: = \sum\limits_{k = 0}^n\binom{n+k}{k}^2\binom{n}{k}^2. $

Z.-W. Sun investigated the congruence properties of Apéry numbers and posed some conjectures. For example, Sun conjectured that for any prime $ p\geq7 $

   $ \sum\limits_{k = 0}^{p-1}(2k+1)A_k\equiv p-\frac{7}{2}p^2H_{p-1}\pmod{p^6} $

and for any prime $ p\geq5 $

   $ \sum\limits_{k = 0}^{p-1}(2k+1)^3A_k\equiv p^3+4p^4H_{p-1}+\frac{6}{5}p^8B_{p-5}\pmod{p^9}, $

where $ H_n = \sum_{k = 1}^n1/k $ denotes the $ n $-th harmonic number and $ B_0, B_1, \ldots $ are the well-known Bernoulli numbers. In this paper we shall confirm these two conjectures.
« Innovez ! Participez ! » Interroger la relation entre musée et numérique au travers des injonctions adressées aux professionnels
Authors: Appiotti Sébastien , Sandri Éva
Published: June 2020

Cet article propose d’interroger la relation entre mondes numériques et musée à travers le prisme des injonctions au numérique qui lui sont adressées. Pour ce faire, une enquête de terrain a été menée dans des services de médiation, de communication et du numérique de deux institutions culturelles françaises : la RMN - Grand Palais (Paris) et le Museon Arlaten (Musée d’ethnographie provençale d’Arles). Chacune à leur échelle, les institutions étudiées donnent à voir une transformation profonde des relations qu’elles entretiennent avec le numérique. L’article étudie plus particulièrement les dynamiques de mise en forme des discours injonctifs au numérique (innovation, participation) au sein des politiques des établissements étudiés et leurs impacts sur les pratiques professionnelles.
Stratégies éditoriales des musées. Une approche de la médiation par l’accès ouvert aux données numérisées
Authors: Juanals Brigitte , Minel Jean-Luc
Published: June 2020

Les politiques d’accès ouvert aux données culturelles des musées concernent désormais la mission de diffusion et de partage des collections et des connaissances. Cet article étudie les régimes d’accès et de circulation médiatique du patrimoine numérisé mis à disposition sous la forme de données culturelles en privilégiant une entrée par la médiation. Le terrain d’enquête est constitué par une sélection de vingt-et-un musées états-uniens ayant mis à disposition leurs données culturelles. Il apparaît que le choix d’une stratégie de diffusion des données culturelles ouvertes, en articulation avec un dispositif sociotechnique, implique, à une échelle transnationale, un débat sur le modèle de gouvernance permettant leur gestion pérenne. Ces données appartiennent au patrimoine culturel des institutions patrimoniales et des États qui les détiennent, ainsi qu’aux différentes catégories de publics qui en sont les usagers.
Le design de l’expérience au musée : nouvelles perspectives de recherche
Authors: Blondeau Virginie , Meyer-Chemenska Muriel , Schmitt Daniel
Published: June 2020

Cet article part du constat que la compréhension de l’expérience des visiteurs, entendue comme construction de sens au fur et à mesure de leur visite dans ses dimensions corporelle, cognitive et émotionnelle, pourrait s’enrichir de nouvelles méthodes d’enquêtes. La recherche met en œuvre Remind, une méthode d’entretien des visiteurs en rappel stimulé qui permet de recueillir des verbalisations très précises de l’activité cognitive et émotionnelle de ceux-ci. Appliquée à l’étude des médiations instrumentées, cette méthode permet d’identifier des séquences élémentaires récurrentes de l’expérience des visiteurs. Ces séquences conduisent à faire la proposition d’une grammaire descriptive de l’expérience des visiteurs en relation avec des médiations instrumentées et à envisager l’utilité d’un nouveau champ de recherche pour le « média exposition » : le design d’expérience.
Contribuer à la diffusion du patrimoine documentaire sur Wikipédia : pratiques et enjeux pour les institutions culturelles
Authors: Bideran Jessica de , Wenz Romain
Published: June 2020

Pour les institutions patrimoniales, la participation à des initiatives ouvertes telles que Wikipédia est un changement de paradigme. Sur la base d’une expérience d’enseignement de plusieurs années en lien avec des structures culturelles conservant du patrimoine documentaire, l’article permet de confronter les réflexions théoriques contemporaines sur la dissémination des connaissances à la réalité des institutions administratives. L’enjeu pour les acteurs est de concilier les besoins et principes d’une encyclopédie généraliste et mondiale avec les attentes d’institutions historiquement centrées sur la présentation de collections à des visiteurs physiques. Toutefois, vouloir être présent sur Wikipédia implique pour l’institution culturelle de repenser sa posture vis-à-vis de publics virtuels et non moins collectivement organisés et engagés.
