Quality of Clinical Evaluation from Viewpoint of Nurse Interns and Nursing Unit Clerks; Nursing Students of the School of Nursing and Midwifery
Authors: Roohi Zahra Riahi , Salehi Shayesteh
Published: December 2016

Quality of nurse training programs requires clinical evaluation. The purpose of this study was to achieve a perspective of realities from viewpoint of nursing students during their internship and clerkship. This study was descriptive and quantitative; 180 nurse inters and nursing unit clerks were enrolled for the study. Data was collected using a researcher made questionnaire. Content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by a group of faculty members and clinical professors; reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha (0.89). The questionnaire consisted of two parts; demographic data and data related to clinical evaluation in four areas including content of evaluation, the role of instructor in evaluation, evaluation process and outcome of evaluation. The questionnaire was scored on a five-point Likert scale from always to never. At the end, there were two open questions about suggestions on clinical evaluation. Data were analyzed by SPSS22, descriptive and analytic statistics. Results showed that nurse interns evaluated the instructor as good (4.05 ± 0.06), evaluation content as average (3.65 ± 0.06), evaluation process as average (2.77 ± 0.76) and outcome of evaluation as poor (2.41 ± 0.69). Nursing unit clerks evaluated the instructor as good (3.84 ± 0.59), evaluation content as average (3.51 ± 0.68), evaluation process as average (2.60 ± 0.78) and outcome of evaluation as poor (2.56 ± 0.63). According to the results, quality of clinical evaluation of nursing students requires a review in existing processes and tools, as well as revision in programs and clinical evaluations by planners and instructors.
Pride and the city
Authors: Morrison Philip S
Published: December 2016

Pride in one’s city is an individual, and collective as well as institutional response to urban conditions which may be harnessed in support of expanding urban facilities and services. Pride is likely to be felt most keenly by those who have a stake in the city and for this reason anecdotal reporting of urban pride in the media is subject to likely bias in favour of vested interests.  In practice however we know very little about urban pride.  The vast literature on urbanism does not appear to have identified any role for urban pride let alone indicating which cities gather pride or who among its inhabitants exhibit such prideThis paper applies a multi-level statistical model to large random sample of residents in twelve New Zealand cities.  From the results we learn that, although financial stake holding is relevant,   urban pride is concentrated more broadly among those whose social and cultural identity is closely tied to the city. Where financial stake holding is most influential is when it is absent, for those experiencing financial difficulties are the most likely to disavow urban pride. Urban pride is a therefore a distributional property of cities in which the currencies are emotional and cultural as well as financial. Urban pride is relatively absent among those who fail to have a stake in the city as well as being weaker among those who live in relatively unattractive cities, and less attractive neighbourhoods.  As a barometer of rewards to living and investing in the city,  urban pride certainly warrants closer attention than it has received to date.

New curriculum design and teaching methods to enhance course performance and increase motivation of Saudi Arabian college students
Authors: Nash Julie
Published: December 2016

This study investigated the effect of cooperative learning on the performance of female college students enrolled in “writing and research” courses at Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University (Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia). Cooperative learning (CL) activities were employed in place of traditional lectures and group activities. Two populations were compared, one with the CL methodology and one with traditional methodology. The results were assessed by final exam scores, final course grades, the number of students passing, pre and post-tests and a self-report survey. We found that this sample of Arab college students performed at a higher level in the CL classes than in the traditional classes. Findings suggest that CL is an effective method for teaching Arab college students.
THE PRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLE IN THE BRAZILIAN ENVIRONMENTAL LAW
Authors: Antunes Paulo de Bessa
Published: December 2016

The problem to be addressed in this article is related to the precautionary principle and its incorporation into the Brazilian law. As it is beknown, this principle has been widely cited by Brazilian case law and it is an important part of the legal and environmental scholarly production. However, it follows that its application has been made fairly randomly, and even so there is no clear and operational definition of its content. The hypothesis being examined is that since the Rio Declaration’s - in its translation into Portuguese - environmental legislation has termed as legal principle, which internationally is an approach, a precautionary measure, as can be seen in both the texts in English and French of the Rio Declaration and other relevant legal instruments. The methodology to be used is the research of the case law and relevant legal rules, as well as the examination of the scholarly production on the subject. As a result, the conclusion is that there is an overuse of the precautionary principle by the Brazilian courts, especially by the Superior Court of Justice and that, in this case, the Federal Supreme Court has played a moderating role in relation to the application of the precautionary principle.

Published: December 2016

Aumentar, invertir, investir, abrir y lograr una indisciplina óptima son cinco ideas que proponemos para generar contextos educativos creativos. Destacamos el papel de lo inesperado y de la sorpresa como elementos necesarios en las innovaciones educativas. En el artículo presentamos un estudio sobre experiencias realizadas con docentes inesperados en el contexto de clases de psicopedagogía en la Universidad Nacional de Río Cuarto (Argentina). Para la recolección de datos empleamos narrativas y cuestionarios abiertos de respuesta individual. Compartimos las valoraciones realizadas por los estudiantes y docentes que participaron del estudio. Los estudiantes valoraron la experiencia positivamente destacando aspectos como lo inesperado de la propuesta, la experimentación y el trabajo grupal. Los docentes destacaron el desafío que supone compartir el conocimiento y generar nuevas oportunidades para aprender. A partir de los datos analizados se presenta una nueva clasificación de docentes inesperados: docentes invitados, no esperados por los estudiantes, y docentes esperados que se desempeñan de manera inesperada. Invitar a docentes y desarrollar intervenciones didácticas inesperadas son acciones propicias para la construcción de contextos creativos en la universidad.

Published: December 2016

Background: In periodontitis, genetics and smoking play important roles in host immune system response. The aim of this study is to determine whether the genetic background of initial periodontitis and caries could be detected using an active matrix metalloproteinase (aMMP)‐8 chairside test in Finnish adolescents.

Methods: Forty‐seven participants gave approval for analysis of both oral fluid collection and DNA. An aMMP‐8 chairside test was performed on participants (adolescents aged 15 to 17 years), and full‐mouth clinical parameters of oral health were assessed including periodontal, oral mucosal, and caries status in Eastern Finland from 2014 to 2015. DNA was extracted from oral fluid samples and genotyped for 71 polymorphisms in 29 candidate genes for periodontitis. Results were analyzed using a logistic regression model. P values were corrected for multiple testing using false discovery rate (<0.05).

Results: aMMP‐8 chairside test positivity and three or more ≥4 mm pockets were associated with vitamin D receptor (VDR) (rs2228570, P = 0.002, q = 0.04) and MMP3 (rs520540, rs639752, rs679620, P = 0.0009, 0.003, 0.003, q = 0.04, respectively). None of the other single‐nucleotide polymorphisms studied showed a significant association with the aMMP‐8 chairside test and at least one caries lesion positivity.

Conclusion: Genetic polymorphisms of MMP3 and VDR are linked to initial periodontitis in Finnish adolescents, and the aMMP‐8 chairside test can eventually detect initial periodontitis in young patients with predisposing genetic background.
Making Leaders: Leadership Characteristics Of Makers And Engineers In The Maker Community
Authors: Oplinger James , Lande Micah , Jordan Shawn , Camarena Leonor
Published: December 2016

This study examines the emergence of leadership characteristics within a new organizational community of individuals: the Maker community. The Maker community is a group of individuals that classify themselves as “Makers” and have become innovators and entrepreneurs through the creation of technological gadgets, artistic projects, and other end products. Historically, so-called Tinkers were motivated to design and develop objects in their garages apart from other people with similar motivations. Drawing from Quinn’s Competing Values Framework, these Maker communities exemplify emergent leadership characteristics within collaboration frameworks. Forty critical incident interviews with Makers express the leadership characteristics of these individuals. Characteristics may differ from individual to another, but a general representation of the community as a whole can be made from observing sub-groups within the community. The results hold important implications for leadership growth, cross-cultural management, and the future for what has become an emerging organizational community. The growth of this community has implications for the field of engineering education and new project-based learning coursework. The emergence of the Maker community including maker spaces has also become relevant in this context and the future of how we education engineers.
Immersive Planetarium Visualizations For Teaching Solar System Moon Concepts To Undergraduates
Authors: Yu Ka Chun , Sahami Kamran , Denn Grant , Sahami Victoria , Sessions Larry C.
Published: December 2016

Digital video fulldome has long been heralded as a revolutionary educational technology; yet the discipline-based astronomy education research literature showing planetarium effectiveness has been sparse. In order to help understand to what extent immersion impacts learning and the effect of the “narrative journey” model of presentation, we conducted a pre- and post-test effectiveness study of lectures on moon systems in the Solar System presented to 781 college undergraduates under immersive and non-immersive treatment conditions. Although all students showed some learning gains immediately after instruction, those who saw presentations in an immersive fulldome planetarium showed the greatest retention, compared to control classes that witnessed the same lecture and visuals on a flat screen in their regular classroom, and students that saw no interactive visuals. Because the same instructors, presentation visuals, and instructional outline were used for both the classroom and dome instruction using the virtual environment, the results suggest that the large display and wide field-of-view, two elements unique to the dome, resulted in greater attention, and were primarily responsible for the greater gains.
Ten Years Of Latin-American Journal Of Astronomy Education RELEA: Achievements And Challenges For International Astronomy Education Development
Authors: Bretones Paulo S. , Jafelice Luiz C. , Horvath Jorge E.
Published: December 2016

This study reviews 10 years of Latin-American Journal of Astronomy Education (RELEA), showing that the journal has become a valuable resource for publishing and highlights its pathway as scholarly journal. Furthermore, it is also a call to astronomy education specialists to consolidate their efforts considering similar journals worldwide. Publishing policies of the RELEA and their context are presented in relation to submission, refereeing and publication. The 75 articles published in 18 editions are analyzed and classified. The results showed an acceptance rate of 60.2%; an average of 7.5 articles per year/4.2 per issue. RELEA´s authors are mostly based in Brazil (81.3%); articles target chiefly a school level (university education: 28.0%, high school: 28.0%); their main study focus is learning and teaching (34.7%) and general astronomy content (33.3%). Our results show that compared to other Brazilian journals of education, RELEA had twice as much astronomy articles. In the international scene there has been about a half of astronomy education research, but twice of astronomy in science education research. The challenges related to improve the article submission are discussed: how to increase their number, the submission of Latin American countries, and how to bring in the issues and subjects not addressed until now. It is also encouraged graduate studies, new lines of research in astronomy education, and advertising the journal in universities and schools for professors and teachers. Finally, future possibilities are mentioned given the International Astronomical Union’s development programs.
The financial challenges of clinical legal education: an example from a Zagreb law clinic
Authors: Preložnjak Barbara , Brozović Juraj
Published: December 2016

Authors lay out the debate over the composition and direction of legal education in an era of law school’s curriculum reform and limited financial resources. Croatian Legal Aid Act created an opportunity for law students to become more actively involved in delivering primarily legal aid to local community. If law schools are not sufficiently financially resourced, they can hardly equip students with the needed skills to practice law and provide legal aid. Finally, the authors argue who should play a guiding role in financing a clinical legal education in law schools that are focused on educating students as social justice lawyers.

Published: December 2016

O presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar na literatura científica nacional e internacional como se utiliza a aromaterapia como ferramentaterapêutica para a redução da ansiedade. Trata-se de uma pesquisabibliográfica que adotou como método a revisão integrativa da literatura. Foram selecionados estudos publicados entre 2008 e 2012, nas bases de dados Scielo, Medline e Cinahl. A análise se constituiu de uma amostra de 20 artigos científicos, sendo 13 com delineamento experimentale quase experimental e 07 revisões sistemáticas ou integrativas.A síntese do conhecimento permitiu afirmar que a aromaterapia representa uma prática terapêutica segura, embora ainda subestimada nas práticas de cuidado em saúde. A construção dos níveis de evidência ficou inviabilizada devido às discrepâncias nas populações estudadas, nos delineamentos das pesquisas, nos diversos óleos essenciais utilizadose nos diferentes métodos de aplicação da aromaterapia. As lacunas de conhecimentos identificadas nestas pesquisas versam sobre a necessidadede desenvolvimento de novas formas de avaliação da efetividade desta prática, incluindo a relação terapeuta-paciente e os diferentes modosde comunicação intrínsecos à aromaterapia.

Authors: Pires Ludmilla De Morais Santos , Barbosa Maria Alves
Published: December 2016

Introdução: A naturopatia clássica é um sistema de assistência à saúde baseado no vitalismo que utiliza, simultaneamente, a dietoterapia, hidroterapia, fitoterapia, cinesioterapia e ordenoterapia (em alemão Ordnungstherapie). No Brasil, não são conhecidas as características das instituições que oferecem a naturopatia em regime de internação. Objetivo: Investigar a localização, ano de fundação e características relacionadas à estrutura, assistência e resultados assistenciais de serviços de internação que adotam a naturopatia clássica. Material e métodos: Estudo exploratório e descritivo, de abordagem qualitativa, realizado com diretores de 12 dos 16 serviços identificados. Foram realizadas entrevistas in loco, com aplicação de formulário e questionário semiestruturados. Os dados qualitativos foram submetidos à análise categorial de Bardin. Resultados: Os estabelecimentos estão presentes em todas as regiões geográficas brasileiras e o pioneiro foi fundado em 1968. Os dados são divididos em quatro categorias: perfil administrativo, estrutura física, perfil assistencial e resultados assistenciais. Todas as instituições possuem personalidade jurídica de direito privado, sendo a maioria entidade beneficente. Os estabelecimentos são de pequeno e médio porte e estão integrados à natureza. A assistência, de perfil humanista, é realizada mediante métodos naturais, contempla a integralidade do indivíduo e enfatiza a educação em saúde e a mudança do estilo de vida. Os resultados assistenciais são a promoção de bem-estar, melhora do estado emocional, criação de vínculo, dentre outros. Considerações finais: Distribuídas em todo o país, as instituições possuem perfil beneficente, oferecem assistência humanizada e integral, empregam métodos naturais de tratamento e promovem saúde e bem-estar. Novas pesquisas mostram-se necessárias.

Authors: Portella Caio Fábio Schlechta
Published: December 2016

Introdução: A insônia está entre os mais frequentes transtornos que afetam a população na contemporaneidade, devido a mudanças hormonais e psicossociais importantes é muito prevalente na perimenopausa. Há uma relação ainda pouco estudada entre eficiência do sono e prática meditativa. Os tratamentos utilizados para insônia normalmente são de alto custo e paliativos. Objetivo: Avaliar o efeito da meditação na insônia (causada por sintomas característicos da perimenopausa) e qualidade de vida nesta fase da vida. Método: Ensaio clínico controlado para avaliar os efeitos da meditação em mulheres com insônia no período da perimenopausa e o impacto na qualidade de vida em 8 semanas de intervenção. O estudo foi realizado de abril a julho de 2013 com 33 mulheres na perimenopausa de idade entre 40 a 55 anos em 3 unidades de órgão público no município de São Paulo, SP. As participantes foram divididas aleatoriamente em dois grupos, um que praticou somente Higiene do Sono-HS (n=15) e outro que praticou Meditação + Higiene do Sono-M+HS (n=18). Foram realizados encontros semanais com as participantes de ambos os grupos para pratica de meditação em grupo e/ou critérios de higiene do sono. O grupo M+HS também realizou prática diária de meditação. Para avaliar a significância estatística das diferenças de médias antes e depois das intervenções em cada grupo foi utilizado o teste de Wilcoxon. Resultados: Houve melhora da insônia em ambos os grupos, no entanto comparando as diferenças de escore do Índice de Gravidade de Insônia entre os grupos estudados, o grupo M+HS teve um efeito superior em ambas as medições em relação ao grupos HS. No grupo M+HS, houve redução estatisticamente significativa nas categorias do Índice Menopausal de Kupperman: Palpitação, Parestesia e a Pontuação Total já no grupo HS não houve redução significativa em nenhum parâmetro do Índice de Kupperman. Houve melhora significativa da pontuação geral de qualidade de vida aferida pelo WHOQOL breve no grupo M +HS, e no grupo HS houve melhora no domínio relações sociais. Conclusão: Os resultados sugerem que a meditação pode ser ferramenta útil no tratamento da insônia primária durante o período da perimenopausa. A qualidade de vida durante este período também é favorecida de maneira global pela prática diária de meditação.
Arte e saúde: uma interface a serviço da integralidade
Authors: Roman Joana Anschau
Published: December 2016

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo explorar as práticas de arte em saúde e sua possível relação com a Integralidade. Foram utilizadas quatro distintas abordagens dessa interface, que foram escolhidas a fim de ressaltar a pluralidade deste tema e também por serem práticas com maior impacto social, são elas: arteterapia junguiana, arteterapia gestáltica, doutores da alegria e práticas de arte em terapia ocupacional. Para isso foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa exploratória por meio de investigação documental realizada nos principais documentos destas abordagens. Os resultados constatam que essas abordagens amparam os seguintes preceitos: (1) ética de cuidado em saúde; (2) autonomia e emancipação – marco conceitual da promoção da saúde; (3) prevenção, tratamento e reabilitação; (4) luta social no enfrentamento de modelos hegemônicos em saúde, criando espaços para a inclusão social. Tais preceitos encontrados nestas práticas são coerentes com os princípios da noção de Integralidade. Através deste estudo conclui-se que as práticas de arte são ferramentas valiosas para a implementação da Integralidade.

Ficção e realidade ou literatura e sociedade: limiares
Authors: Breunig Tiago Hermano
Published: December 2016

O presente trabalho pretende aprofundar o significado da afirmação de Peter Sloterdijk segundo a qual o humanismo naufraga como escola de formação humana por meio da literatura, postulando, por conseguinte, o fim da utopia da formação humana por meio da literatura, a qual supostamente promoveria uma resignação a partir da leitura e da escrita. Para tanto, interessa o fato de que o conceito de literatura proposto por Sloterdijk como uma comunidade subjacente ao humanismo se coaduna com o conceito de literatura proposto no Brasil por Antonio Candido, sobretudo na medida em que Sloterdijk sugere pensar o humanismo segundo o modelo de uma sociedade que recorda as academias mencionadas por Candido como formadoras da literatura brasileira, e a literatura como meio comunicativo pelos quais os homens se formam a si mesmos.
Reflection of History and Struggle in Modern African Drama: A Reassessment of the Historical and Dramatic Characters in Emeka Nwabueze’s The Dragon’s Funeral
Authors: Ugwu Agozie Uzo
Published: December 2016

Historical facts evidently have often time provided source materials for the modern African playwright in creating his story. The committed playwright combines the fact of history, blends it with artistic ingenuity and presents a dramatic experience of a people. This combination of facts of history with fiction could be referred to as “faction”. The facts of history may include struggle for emancipation, war, famine, outbreak of a disease, political instability, fashion, terrorism, natural disaster, colonialism, imperialism, neo-colonialism, etc. It is in view of this that this paper surveys the struggle by Nigerian women during the colonial period for their emancipation out of the evils of colonialism and economic exploitation. The gallant Nigerian women of Aba in 1929, who vehemently challenged the British colonial administration of heavy tax imposition on Nigerians, have been represented in dramatic form by Emeka Nwabueze in his play The Dragon’s Funeral. This work has done a reassessment of the major characters in the play. The aim is to see how these dramatic characters in the play conform to the actual historical characters. For the purpose of dramaturgy, the playwright seems to have added some dramatic techniques; like the aesthetics of storytelling to provide a more vivid dramatic experience. The representation of historical characters in the play provides obvious evidences of the reflection of history and struggle in modern Africa drama and also emphasises the efficacy of modern African plays as viable tools for the documentation of history.

Students assessment is useful for evaluating curriculum, guiding learning and giving awareness for tutors and students about the ability to change. Most practicing physicians are involved in assessing clinical competence of trainees, peers, and other health professionals. Ideally, the assessment of competences (what the student is able to do) should provide insight into actual performance, as well as generate new knowledge and improve performance.

Published: December 2016

Aims: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of pain education combined with music intervention on pain levels and the beliefs about and satisfaction with pain management.
Methods: This study was conducted using a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design involving an experimental group and control group. The sample size was 60; each group consisted of 30 participants. The control group received routine care, whereas the participants in the experimental group received pain education and a music intervention program.
Results: No significant difference was observed in average pain levels between the two groups. Most patients in the experimental group considered the effects of music to be satisfactory in relieving pain. No difference was observed in beliefs about and satisfaction with pain management between the two groups.
Conclusions: The results can be used as a reference in clinical practice for joint replacement patients who require pain and anxiety management.

A means to check the efficiency of refrigeration is offered, which can be used in « stabulation » as well as in a dynamic circulation.

The preparation of wine — and particularly the nature of its clarifying process — is shown to widely influence the efficiency of refrigeration, especially in « stabulation ».

Treating the basic wines from Champagne through bentonite seems to be the best clarifying adjuvant.

The conductance measures according to WURDIG'S technique enable to contemplate a first study on the quantitative measuring of the protecting, colloid effect.

Application of iron based foliar sprays to chloritic wines can augment, sometimes very greatly, the iron concentration is the leaf blade. Resulting in a reduction in the concentration of macroelements and in some phytotoxicity due to an excess of non metabolizable iron.

At the same time, the concentration of amino acids and notably of proline (stress index) is increased. The application of these foliar sprays was insufficient to resolve cases of iron chlorisis.
Influence de la clarification du moût de raisin sur sa teneur en acides gras
Authors: Bertrand Alain , Miele Alberto
Published: December 2016

En vinification en blanc, le débourbage des moûts est nécessaire pour obtenir des vins de qualité. Cette opération doit être conduite avec un très grand soin. En effet, d'une part les bourbes grossières confèrent au vin des odeurs végétales et, d'autre part, en présence de lies fines la synthèse des esters par les levures est faible. L'hypothèse de « nutriments des levures apportés par les bourbes » a été émise (RIBÉREAU-GAYON et al., 1975).

L'objet de la présente note est de montrer l'incidence de la clarification des moûts sur leurs teneurs en acides gras totaux.

Authors: Faiz Pan Mohamad
Published: December 2016

The judicial appointment process is one of essential elements for maintaining judicial independence and public confidence of a court. This article analyses the practices of judicial appointment process exercised by three different main state institutions in selecting constitutional justice in Indonesia where the mechanism and process for selecting them have been implemented differently. It also examines the tenure of constitutional justice, which is a five-year term and can be renewed for one term only, that may lead to another problem concerning the reselection process of incumbent constitutional justices for their second term. The article concludes that the judicial appointment process and tenure of constitutional justice in Indonesia have to be improved. It suggests that if the proposing state institutions could not meet the principles of transparency, participation, objective and accountable required by the Constitutional Court Law, the judicial appointment process should be conducted by creating an independent Selection Committee or establishing a cooperation with the Judicial Commission. Additionally, the tenure of constitutional justices should also be revised for a unrenewable term with a longer period of nine or twelve years.
