Background: In Nigeria, the elderly account for 4.97% of the total population and as one ages, the physiological status of the body gradually declines.Hypertension, cataract, osteoarthritis and neurological problems, constitute the commonest cause of morbidity among elderly. This results in inadequate medical attention leading to development of multiple health conditions and the inability to control certain physiological functions. Objective: This study aimed to describe the morbidity pattern, physiologic parameters and outcome among elderly patients attending the primary healthcare centres in Kosofe Local Government Area of Lagos State, Nigeria. Methods: The study was a descriptive cross-sectional consisting of 210 participants selected through systematic sampling. Data on morbidity pattern, physiologic parameters and disposition decisions were collected and analyzed using Epi-info, version 7.2. Proportions, means and frequencies were calculated and presented with Tables while Chi-square was used to test for association between morbidity and gender, age and outcome, vital signs and age, and disposition decision and sex. P-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Disease such as hypertension (51.4%), malaria (18.5%) and osteoarthritis (6.6%) constituted the major reasons of visit of the elderly to primary healthcare facilities. There were statistically significant associations between cardiovascular condition and gender (p=0.005), and between musculoskeletal condition and age of the respondents (p=0.005). There were statistically significant associations between the urological conditions and outcome of the respondents (p= 0.001), between the pulse and age of the respondents (p=0.001), between respiratory rate and age (p=0.001) and between percentage oxygen saturation of haemoglobin and age (p=0.001). Conclusion: Diseases such as hypertension, osteoarthritis and malaria constitute the major cause of visits to primary healthcare facilities among the elderly. Those with cardiovascular disease were more likely to be females. Those with age range of 75-79 years may likely have a pulse rate less than 60 bpm. Those within the age of 70–74 years are more likely to have a low blood oxygen saturation level. Those with urological condition were more likely to be referred.

Background: Entrepreneurship is frequently cited as a remedy to unemployment and stagnant economic growth. The rising demand for healthcare services has opened up nuance opportunities for entrepreneurship in the pharmaceutical industry. Yet, exposure of pharmacy students to entrepreneurship remains unappreciated. This study, therefore, investigated the determinants of entrepreneurial intentions among pharmacy students in the University of Lagos. Methods: An integrated model was developed which combined factors from the theory of planned behaviour, the entrepreneurial events model, risk taking, and family background to explain determinants of entrepreneurial intentions among pharmacy students in the University of Lagos. The study used a cross-sectional descriptive research approach. The snowballing sampling approach was used to sample 148 students from the specified sampling frame. The model was estimated using the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) estimation technique, whereas the hypotheses and research questions were tested using the t-test. Results: The findings revealed that perception of entrepreneurial desirability is a significant predictor of entrepreneurial intentions. Parental agreement was also found to have a negative but significant impact on entrepreneurial intention giving partial support to the hypothesis. This result prompts further research on the influence of parents on entrepreneurial intention. The other variables – attitude, social norms, perceived behavioural control, perception of entrepreneurial feasibility, risk taking were not significant in determining entrepreneurial intentions. Conclusion: Research and policies regarding entrepreneurship should focus on how best to make entrepreneurship attractive to pharmacy students to boost productive investment in the health sector and address the epidemic of youth unemployment.

Background: Non-adherence to treatment is an important and often unrecognized risk factor that contributes to sub-optimal control of glucose level and blood pressure among hypertensive diabetics. Adequate glycaemic control is of utmost importance in reducing the burden of disease attributable to diabetes, and its complications. Objectives: To assess adherence to medication therapy among hypertensive diabetic patients, determine barriers to medication adherence and evaluate respective clinical outcomes of therapy among hypertensive diabetics. Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional study was carried out using adapted and pretested questionnaire. The degree of adherence was determined and classified as high, medium or low depending on the scores. A total of 216 valid questionnaires were returned and analyzed out of the 300 distributed. Results: Of the study population, females were 121 (56.0%). Half of the respondents (50.0%) were above 60 years of age. Proportions of the subjects with good adherence to antidiabetics and antihypertensive were 17.1% and 22.7% respectively. High cost of medication, fear of side effects as well as poor knowledge of medication and disease complications were the major barriers to medication adherence identified. There was a statistically significant association between adherence and good glycaemic and blood pressure control. Conclusion: Adherence to antihypertensive and anti-diabetic medication was suboptimal among the respondents. Glycaemic and blood pressure control were also poor. Financial constraint, fear of side effects and poor knowledge of disease and medication are some of the significant barriers to medication adherence identified.

Background: Face mask is used globally as a protective device and was recommended to prevent the spread of COVID-19. However, there is a scarcity of information on public’s compliance with mask use in Nigeria. Objectives: To evaluate the knowledge and behaviour by adult residents in Benin metropolis about face mask use during the second phase of COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted, utilising a self-completed questionnaire from January to March 2021. Data collected were subjected to descriptive and inferential statistics. Every incorrect and correct response in face mask use behaviour was scored 0 and 1 respectively. Post summation, scores were marked as “satisfactory” or “not satisfactory”. In the event that 6 or more than 6 (out of 10) points were achieved, this was used as an outcome variable for the binary logistic regression analysis. Chi-square test was utilised to compare the “satisfactory” rates between variables and groups. P < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: The study shows that gender, marital status, religion, ethnicity, education and occupation (P<0.001) are among the factors influencing face mask use behaviour. About 53% of the population used a cloth facemask citing availability/accessibility as a key reason. Majority 381 (76.2%) of the respondents had good knowledge of the use of face mask as a preventive strategy during the pandemic. Only 179 (35.8%) respondents showed satisfactory mask use behaviour. Conclusion: The study revealed that respondents had good knowledge of the use of face mask but unsatisfactory mask-wearing behaviour during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: Malaria is a complex disease that varies widely in epidemiology and clinical manifestation in different parts of the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates 241 million malaria cases in 2020. April 25 every year, the world comes together under "World Malaria Day" (WMD) to raise awareness of the burden of malaria around the world. Objective: This study was conducted on WMD 2022 to evaluate the knowledge, attitude and practice toward malaria prevention in a sub-urban community in south-western Nigeria. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among residents in the Mushin local government area, Lagos State, on WMD 2022. A self-administered structured questionnaire was filled out by conveniently sampled participants in a strategic location in the venue. Descriptive analysis was carried out to determine participants’ knowledge and attitude to malaria and practices of malaria prevention. Results: One hundred and thirty-five (135) people participated in the study. Majority of the respondents were female (77; 57%) and between the ages 44 to 56 years (48; 35.6%). About (101; 75%) of the respondent had good knowledge of malaria but almost (79; 58.9%) had poor attitude to malaria. The majority (88; 65.2%) of the respondents had a poor practice towards malaria prevention. Conclusion: Most participants had good knowledge about malaria but poor attitude and practice of prevention of the disease. These findings stress the need to enhance community knowledge and sensitization efforts about malaria. Public health enlightenment efforts on malaria prevention should be intensified.
Új lehetőségek és elképzelések a vidékfejlesztésben és a fejlesztéspolitikában
Authors: Magda Sándor , Szűcs Csaba , Holló Ervin , Koncz Gábor
Published: May 2023

A vidékfejlesztési szakpolitika egyre inkább felértékelődik. Úgy gondoljuk, a vidékfejlesztést nem csak agrár-megközelítésből kell szemlélni. Az EU komolyan veszi a vidéken élők problémáit, és az életszínvonal növelésére törekszik. A KAP reformok segítenek a vidéki fejlesztéspolitika térnyerésében és a vidék fejlődésének gyors és pozitív változásában. Napjainkban globális versenyről beszélhetünk. Ennek jellemzői a következők: - a kereskedelem nemzetközivé válása, - a termelés és a tőkeáramlás világméretű növekedése, - az innovációs folyamatok globalizációja. Lengyel (2003) szerint ezek a fő jellemzők, mely ismeretekkel helytállhatunk a globális versenyben. Úgy gondoljuk, csak a tudásalapú társadalom fejlődési pályáján lehetünk sikeresek. Magyarország fejlődése a természeti erőforrások használatára épül. A falusi termelés mellett az energetikai célú termelés, valamint az integrált és az ökológiai gazdálkodás is elképzelhető. Indokolt a zöldség-gyümölcs termelés és az állattenyésztés fejlesztése. Nagyon fontos a foglalkoztatás növelése és a népességmegtartás. A vidékfejlesztés szerepe térben és időben változó. A változások áttekintése fontos, hogy az ismeretek birtokában a vidéki területek fejlődése nagyobb lendülettel folytatódjon. A versenyképességre ható tényezőket sok szerző elemezte. Említhető Csath (2019), Szűcs – Marselek (2019), Chikán A. (2017), Holló – Marselek (2016) munkássága. A falvak fejlesztése során fontos szempontokat kell figyelembe venni. Rövid áttekintésünkben csak néhány, a kutatással összefüggő területre utalunk. Ilyenek pl.: a földhasználat kérdése, a mező- és vidékgazdaság helyzete, az agrár-versenyképesség, a környezetvédelem, az öntözés és vízvédelem, a zöld gazdaság és a körforgásos gazdaság.
Két évtized birtokkoncentrációs folyamatainak vizsgálata Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok vármegyében
Authors: Czimbalmos Róbert , Kovács Györgyi , Fehér Alajos
Published: May 2023

Az Európai Unió és hazánk mezőgazdaságában az elmúlt évtizedek jellemző tendenciája volt a gazdaságok számának csökkenése, az egy gazdaságra jutó földterület folyamatos növekedése. Uniós csatlakozásunk óta a birtokkoncentráció még hangsúlyosabban van jelen. A tendenciát jól jelzik a 2010. és a 2020. évi Általános Mezőgazdasági Összeírások ide vonatkozó adatai. A 2010-es adatok szerint, a magyar mezőgazdasági művelés alatt álló terület több mint kétharmada a termelők alig 2,5 százalékának használatában volt. Ezt az országos tendenciát erősítette meg az 1997-2018 közötti időszakban, Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok megyében végzett kérdőíves felmérés-sorozatunk. A megyei és települési szintű vizsgálatainknál is az országos tendenciákkal találkoztunk, hasonló arányt tapasztaltunk, ez 2020-ra sem változott. Egy átrendeződés történt a nagy területtel rendelkezők méretkategóriáiban. A 300-500 és az 500-1 000 hektáros méretkategóriákban jelentősen emelkedett a földterület és a gazdaságok száma is, míg ebben a két legnagyobb méretkategóriában csökkent a földművelők száma és az általuk művelt terület is. Tulajdonképpen a most érvényben lévő támogatáspolitikához alkalmazkodott a gazdatársadalom: területeik szétdarabolásával, a tulajdonjogok szétírásával próbálták maximalizálni az elérhető támogatásokat. Fontos megjegyezni, hogy a „Földet a gazdáknak” kormányzati program keretében, 2015-2016 között újabb, mintegy 8 600 hektár – eltérő minőségű és méretű – addig bérelt, állami tulajdonú földrészlet került a gazdák tulajdonába. Azonban ez az állami lépés sem tudta csökkenteni a folyamatos birtokméret növekedést. A JNSZ vármegyében végzett kérdőíves felmérés-sorozatunk nagyban segítette a birtokkoncentráció mértékének, sajátosságainak, a farmdiverzifikáció és a multifunkciós mezőgazdaság feltárását, ugyanakkor elemeztük a terület- és tőkekoncentráció negatív és pozitív hatásait. Megfogalmazott hipotéziseink igazolódtak, összefoglalóan megállapítható, hogy egy folyamatos tőke- és birtokkoncentrációs folyamat eredményeképpen, a közepes- és nagygazdaságok folyamatosan erősödtek, a növénytermesztés túlsúlyba kerülésével a gépesítettség és a termelékenység jelentősen növekedett, míg a foglalkoztatottság csökkent. A farmdiverzifikációs folyamatok sajnálatosan az általunk elvárt szint alatt maradtak. Ebből a három évtized alatt kialakult csapdahelyzetből a gazdatársadalom számára a kitörést az ágazatok közötti torz egyensúly helyreállítása, javítása, a diverzifikáció és az Unió által is támogatott ökogazdálkodás arányának növelése jelentheti. Kérdéses ugyanakkor, hogy a következő támogatási ciklusban bevezetésre kerülő, méretkategóriáktól függetlenített, a hatékony gazdálkodást célzó támogatások elérik-e a kitűzött célt, vagy tovább gerjesztik a birtokkoncentrációt.
Zárt többszintes termelési rendszer - egy lehetőség
Authors: Ratkóczy Dániel , Mizik Tamás , Szabó Zoltán
Published: May 2023

A túlnépesedés és a klímaváltozás egyaránt komoly kihívás elé állítja az emberiséget, ráadásul megkérdőjelezi a jelenlegi, intenzív inputhasználatra épülő termelési rendszerek fenntarthatóságát. Mindez egyaránt érinti az élelmezés- és az élelmiszerbiztonság kérdéskörét is. A népesség növekedésével ráadásul folyamatosan csökken az egy főre jutó jutó termőterület. Ezekre a problémákra együttesen nyújtanak válaszlehetőséget a zárt, többszintes, precíziós termelési rendszerek. Előnyeik közé tartozik, hogy függetlenek az időjárási viszonyoktól, egész évben lehetővé teszik a folyamatos termelést, valamint jól automatizálható a termelési folyamat. A precíziós technolgia révén kisebb az inputfelhasználás, a zárt rendszerben növényvédőszerre sincs szükség. Ugyanakkor a technológia legnagyobb hátránya, hogy a hagyományoshoz termeléshez képest jelentősebb a termelési költség. A családi ház pincéjében megvalósult római saláta kísérlet eredményei teljes mértékben összhangban vannak a szakirdalommal: kiemelkedően fontos a termelés minden paraméterének az optimális szinten tartása, mivel enélkül nem lesz ideális a saláta fejlődése. A költségkorlát miatt ez a hőmérséklet vonatkozásában nem teljesült, aminek a következtében megállt a fejek növekedése. Ugyanakkor az is kiderült, hogy a termelés egyszerűen és költséghatékonyan megvalósítható, vagyis technikailag nincs akadálya akár a városi környezetben történő termelésnek sem. Bár jelenleg gazdasági szempontból ez még nem mindenhol fenntartható (a termékelőállítás költsége magasabb, mint a szántóföldi növénytermesztés esetén), azonban környezeti és társadalmi előnyei vitathatatlanok.

本研究旨在探究女同志與前伴侶分手後的關係連結、社會支持與分手調適之關聯性。研究對象招募自我認同為女同志者，研究工具為：「分手後關係連結量表」、「社會支持量表」與「分手調適量表」等三項，問卷預試後由網路蒐集到938份有效問卷，並以獨立樣本t檢定、單因子變異數分析、皮爾森積差相關及多元迴歸進行分析。研究結果發現：（1）分手距今時間愈短、目前沒有伴侶與協商分手者，更傾向與前任伴侶聯繫；（2）20歲以上、交往時間愈長、分手次數愈多、目前有伴侶者，所獲得之社會支持較高；（3）20歲以下、交往時間短、分手次數較少者，分手後較具困惑感；（4）分手次數較多、分手距今較久、目前有伴侶者，有更正向之分手調適；（5）分手後與前任聯繫程度愈高者，具較高程度之痛苦、困惑與懷疑自我價值，及較多之愧疚與自責；與前任聯繫程度較低者，較易走出傷痛、肯定與瞭解自我價值及回到原本生活；（6）「分手後關係連結」與「社會支持」對「分手調適」多數向度具顯著預測力。最後根據結果提出建議，提供實務工作及未來研究者進行參考。

 

The purpose of this study was to investigate the association among relational boundaries with an ex-partner, social support and adjustment to a breakup among lesbian individuals. The participants, who identify as lesbian were assessed with Post-Breakup-Connectedness-Attitudes Scales, Scale of Social Support and Scale of breakup adjustment. After the pretest, 938 online questionnaires were collected in LGBT community and analyzed by descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, Person’s correlation and multiple regression. The results demonstrated that: (1) individuals who were not currently in a relationship, had a shorter time since the breakup, and negotiated the breakup were more likely to maintain contact with their ex-partner; (2) individuals aged over 20, with a longer dating time, more breakups, and currently in a relationship tended to have more social support; (3) individuals aged below 20, with a shorter dating time and fewer breakups, tended to feel more confused after a breakup; (4) individuals with more breakups, a longer time since the breakup, and currently in a relationship tended to have a positive adjustment after a breakup; (5) the more contact with ex-partner, the more likely it was to experience more pain, confuse, self-doubt, guilt and self-blame, while the less contact with ex-partner, the more likely it was to experience self-affirmation and to get through pain, to understand self-worth, and to return to normal life; (6) relational boundaries and social support among lesbians individuals significantly predicted breakup adjustment. Finally, suggestions for counselors and further researchers are offered.

 
長期心理治療的人際經驗改變－心理師的觀點
Authors: 黃筱涵 黃筱涵 , Hsiao-Han Huang 陳婉真
Published: May 2023

人際經驗是個體發展自我形象與環境評估的關鍵因素。大部分尋求長期心理治療的個案，其困擾多與過去負面的人際經驗所帶來的關係議題有關。若個體在成長過程經常遭受拒絕，會發展出「世界不能控制、別人不可預測、不可信任」的觀點。因此，本研究旨在探討長期心理治療歷程，個案的他人表徵與自我概念之轉變，以及討論心理師在協助個案改變的相關促成與阻礙因素。本研究以質性研究方式進行，以六位長期心理治療取向為主的資深心理師作為研究對象，以一對一的方式與每位受訪者進行一次深度訪談。訪談內容著重探討個案他人表徵及自我概念的改變，並深入了解長期心理治療關係對於個案發展新的人際關係經驗之影響。以紮根理論的資料分析概念進行資料分析，透過逐字稿編碼，由訪談者的實務工作現場所呈現之資料建構出歸納式結論。研究結果發現：心理師所討論的個案改變包括三個面向：（1）治療前後期的他人表徵轉變，（2）治療前後期的自我概念轉變，以及（3）促進與阻礙個案人際經驗改變的因素。本研究據此提出結論：長期心理治療有助於個案創造正向的他人表徵與自我概念，並使個案有機會能夠體驗到正向的關係新經驗。

 

Interpersonal experience is the key factor for people to develop other-representation and to evaluate the environment. Most long-term psychotherapy clients’ issues stem from past negative experiences in interpersonal relationships. Individuals who have frequently experienced rejection during their growth process are susceptible to adopting the viewpoint that "the world is uncontrollable, and people are unpredictable and untrustworthy." Hence, the main purpose of this research is to explore the difference in other-representation, the transformation of self-concept during the long-term psychotherapy, and how counselors assist clients in changing their old pattern of other-representation and improving the self-concept. This is done to create new positive interpersonal relationship experiences.
This study used semi-structured interviews to collect data from 6 counselors who primarily conducted long-term psychotherapy for clients. Each psychologist was individually interviewed once. The contents of the interviews focused on changes of other-representation, self-concept, and the influences of long-term counseling relationships on clients’ development of new interpersonal relationship experiences. After data collection, the verbatim transcription of each interview was analyzed in a phenomenological approach. The study aims to obtain the effectiveness of long-term psychotherapy on the change of clients’ interpersonal relationship experience. The main findings of this study were as follows: (1) changes in other-representation; (2) changes in self-concept; (3) the factors that promote or interfere with the changes of clients. This study suggests that long-term psychotherapy can be conducive to creating positive other-representation and self-concept, and developing satisfying relationship patterns.

Telemedicine has been developed in different processes in each country. International academic circles have discussed the causes of difficulty in developing or spreading the use of telemedicine, which is affected by factors such as technological infrastructure, social progress, medical environment, policies, differences in insurance systems, public needs, medical habits, and cultural backgrounds. In 2021, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement from the United States of America published a white book on telemedicine development. The white book advocates for providing a high-quality virtual care model and developing a safe, equitable, and person-centered telemedicine framework. The framework consists of 6 elements: access, privacy, diagnostic accuracy, communication, psychological and emotional safety, and human factors and system design. The white book also provides practical suggestions on telemedicine. Telemedicine has become a new medical normal for various countries in the post-COVID era. In developing telemedicine, healthcare systems and providers must not only maintain the quality of care, but also pay attention to the unique and potential accidents and risks involved in virtual care. The results of this study provide a key reference to health care systems and personnel in establishing a safe, equitable, and person-centered telemedicine system.

Covid-19 Pandemic 三年多來，台灣至今有超過1000 萬人確診，及1 萬多人不幸逝世！隨著病毒的突變，和防疫政策的調整，民眾、醫界乃至台灣社會都接受著不同的考驗和試煉。尤其是2022 年的Omicrone ，在半年多有超過1000 萬民眾的大規模感染。然而台灣的社會並沒有人心浮動，遑論社會動亂；經濟發展如常，GDP依舊上升。這除了台灣人民優異的健康素質，堅靭的醫界體系功不可沒！大醫院在原本急、重、難、罕的醫療照顧之外，更負責COVID重症病患的收治；基層醫療也不遑多讓，除了持續提供一般疾病、慢性病照護、疫苗接種之外，更承擔輕症確診者的遠距判讀、遠距診療及遠距居家照顧；醫院、診所分工合作，充分展現了分級醫療的價值，共同守護了台灣人民的健康，也成為全球的典範。

 

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic 3 years ago, the total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Taiwan has exceeded 10 million and over 10,000 people have died from the disease. Following the mutations of the virus and the adjustments made to pandemic prevention policies, Taiwan citizens, the medical field, and Taiwan’s society have overcome and continue to face different challenges. During the prevalence of the Omicron variant in 2022, over 10 million citizens were infected within 6 months. Taiwanese people have shown unwavering resilience in the face of pandemic, let alone the possibility of social unrest. Instead, economic development continued as normal and Taiwan’s GDP continued to grow. In addition to Taiwan citizen’s excellent health literacy, the contributions of Taiwan’s firm and robust medical care system plays a crucial role in controlling the pandemic. Large-scale hospitals not only provide health care services for patients with acute, severe, difficult-to-treat, and rare diseases, but also shoulder the responsibility to receive and treat patients with severe COVID-19 symptoms. Similarly, the primary level of the medical care system not only continue to provide services, including offering care for common and chronic diseases and vaccination, but also contributing to the telemedicine diagnosis, treatment, and home-based care for patients with mild symptoms of COVID-19. The division of labor between hospitals and clinics comprehensively demonstrates the value of hierarchical medical care, which jointly safeguards the health of Taiwanese people and serves as a global paradigm.

Purpose: Improving medication reconciliation is listed as one of the goals for quality of care and patient safety, particularly in an aging society with multiple chronic diseases. Materials and Methods: This study enrolled older adults in home care, and the study period was January 1, 2020, to March 31, 2021. From January 1, 2020, to March 31, 2020, the medication reconciliation rate for older adults in home care was only 11.8%. After the collection of up-to-date data, Pareto charts and cause-and-effect diagrams were used to identify the following causes underlying the low reconciliation rate: lack of medication reconciliation guidance tools, lack of primary contact information, lack of implementation of home medication reconciliation procedures, and a lack of medication reconciliation information available during hospitalization.

醫療機構對於病人安全文化的關注以及韌性/復原力的推動興趣穩步增長，2014年新版安全態度調查量表(簡稱新版量表)自原來的六構面擴增到八個構面，近年來此項調查每年收集全國超過11萬多名醫療作業人員的回覆，這是一項極為有用的資料。然而，新版量表的運用卻出現直接以「復原力」取代新構面「情緒耗竭」的迷思，且很多的應用是以相關性的分析為主，無法將分析結果帶入實際操作面使用。本文的目的即是引述多方專家論述與研究發現，釐清復原力/韌性、情緒耗竭、病安風氣、與韌性推動之間的關係，以導正此種迷思，並提出未來運用新版量表推動韌性的構想建議，以提升該調查的附加價值，協助醫院有效促進醫療機構韌性的推動。

 

Hospitals’ interest in promoting patient safety culture and resilience has steadily increased. The latest version (2014) of the Safety Attitude Questionnaire (SAQ) for assessing safety culture within health-care institutions was expanded from six to eight dimensions. This questionnaire has been used to collect responses from more than 110,000 health-care practitioners in Taiwan each year. However, the new SAQ dimensions are often misinterpreted, and some have claimed that hospitals or practitioners directly replace the “emotional exhaustion” dimension with a “resilience” dimension. However, most of these claims or applications are based on correlation analyses that cannot be implemented in practice. This paper dispels myths related to the dimensions of the new SAQ by clarifying the relationships among resilience, emotional exhaustion, safety climate, and resilience promotion based on theories and research findings. Additionally, this paper proposes utilizing the new SAQ to promote resilience, thereby enhancing the value of the instrument.

環境清潔落實與否在預防和控制醫療照護相關感染方面扮演著重要的作用，首先，環境清潔可以減少病原體的存活和繁殖，特別是常見的抗藥性細菌。定期清潔和消毒病房、手術室、護理站等高風險區域，可以有效地減少微生物的存活和繁殖，同時減少醫護人員和病人接觸到病原體的機會，進而減少醫療照護相關感染的發生率，疾病管制署於104年11月公告醫療機構環境清潔感染管制措施指引，衛生福利部自105年病人安全目標六-落實感染管制，其執行策略：定期環境清潔機制，107年更具體地明訂需執行監測環境清潔品質。由此可見，落實環境清潔及有效之監測是感染管制非常重要的一環。目前常用於醫院環境清消品質監測的方式主要分為三類，包括：目視觀察評量法、螢光標示檢測法、微生物負荷殘留檢測法，已有許多文獻發表，透過前述的環境清潔監測方式可改善清潔人員環境清潔落實程度與降低細菌的移生及感染，因此醫療機構必須加強落實環境清潔，進行定期的消毒和清洗，以減少病原體和病菌的存活和繁殖。這可以減少病人感染病原體和病菌的風險，同時減少抗藥性菌株的傳播和擴散。

 

Environmental cleaning is key in preventing and controlling health care–associated infections. First, environmental cleaning can reduce the survival and reproduction of pathogens, especially those of common drug-resistant bacteria. The regular cleaning and disinfection of high-risk areas, such as wards, operating rooms, and nursing stations, can effectively reduce bioburden levels. An excellent cleaning environment reduces the risk of medical staff and patients being exposed to pathogens, thereby reducing the incidence of medical care–associated infections. Cleanliness is a goal of disease safety and an strategy for implementing infection control. Since 2017, various stipulations pertaining to the monitoring of environmental cleanliness quality have been implemented. The implementation of environmental cleaning and effective monitoring are crucial aspects of infection control and prevention. At present, the methods commonly used to monitor the quality of hospital environmental cleanliness can mainly be divided into three categories, namely visual observation, fluorescent labeling and detection, and microbial load residue detection. Numerous studies have explored the aforementioned environmental cleaning and monitoring methods and reported that they improved the quality of environmental cleaning by cleaning personnel and reduced bacterial colonization and the spread of bacterial infections or contamination. Accordingly, health care facilities must strengthen their environmental cleaning processes and conduct regular cleaning and disinfection to reduce the survival and reproduction of pathogens. These measures reduce the risk of patients contracting pathogens and the risk of resistant strains spreading.

 
Adaptation, Litigation, and Petrifaction: Bernard Shaw and That “loathsome plagiarism” The Chocolate Soldier
Authors: Wixson Christopher M.
Published: May 2023

Between July 1925 and March 1928, Bernard Shaw clashed with an attorney called Jesse Levinson over whether any cinematic version of The Chocolate Soldier would infringe his copyright on Arms and the Man. The case charted novel contours of intellectual property rights with regard to “talking picture” adaptation. Shaw would, in the course of preparing for this particular trial, discover that stunning acts of plagiarism had already occurred in the musical adaptation of Arms and the Man, entailing consequences for its prospective transfer to film. Although it caught the attention of the press at the time, the protracted legal dispute receives scarce mention in the scholarly conversation around Shaw’s life and writing. A much fuller account of it, however, emerges from the archived casefile of Shaw’s London solicitors, newly acquired by David Grapes.
“I’m a slave now, for all my fine clothes”: Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion and the Dido Myth
Authors: Sjölin Mette Hildeman
Published: May 2023

Shaw’s Pygmalion is commonly thought of as an adaptation of the myth of Pygmalion, the sculptor who fell in love with his own sculpture. However, the name of “Pygmalion” in ancient mythology is shared by Dido’s brother, Pygmalion of Tyre. This article suggests Pygmalion as playing with these two mythological Pygmalions by moving through the play from the myth of Pygmalion the Cypriot sculptor to the myth of Dido, who escapes from her tyrannous brother, Pygmalion of Tyre. It is particularly relevant that Dido’s alternative name is “Elissa,” which in Dryden’s translation of Virgil’s The Aeneid is spelled “Eliza.” Dido, therefore, shares the first name of Eliza Doolittle, the heroine of Shaw’s Pygmalion who escapes from the arguably tyrannous Henry Higgins at the end of the play. Reimagining Eliza and Higgins as Dido and her brother leads to a reading in line with Shaw’s anti-romantic vision of Pygmalion.

Modern Approaches to the Research of Inequality as a Social and Pedagogical Problem
Authors:   Trakia University, Lavrentsova Elena
Published: May 2023

The article examines inequality as a problem relevant to the subject area of social pedagogy, the deeper conceptualization of which would contribute to enriching its thesaurus. Using the historical-comparative method and the method of qualitative analysis of the publications devoted to social inequality, the author highlights the main approaches for its research. Based on the analysis undertaken, it is noted that social inequality is important to consider as a complex phenomenon determined by the various factors that are perceived as key causes of status differences between individuals. Its reproduction is determined by the peculiarities of the functioning of social institutions and the distribution of resources within the existing stratification model of society, the influence of which is dynamic and depends on specific historical conditions. Following the conceptual-theoretical and methodological framework proposed by Göran Therborn, an attempt is made to examine social inequality from the standpoint of social constructivism. Such an approach could become a productive tool for assisting professionals in the field of social pedagogy.

Introduction: The purpose of this research was to examine how a very low-calorie ketogenic diet affected body composition and metabolic rate in overweight and obese people. Method: A 12-week weight loss program using a ketogenic diet that had only a few hundred calories per day was offered to 80 participants at the Hayatabad Medical Complex in Peshawar. Participants consumed 800-1000 calories each day and were instructed to maintain a state of ketosis. Data on body composition, metabolic rate, and appetite hormones were collected at baseline and after the intervention. Results: The study's findings demonstrated that a ketogenic diet consisting of extremely few calories helped people lose a considerable amount of weight and improved their body composition and metabolic rate. Participants' weight, fat percentage, and circumference of the waist all decreased, as well as an increase in lean body mass. The metabolic rate of the participants increased, suggesting that the ketogenic diet may help with weight reduction and metabolic health. Conclusion: This research shows that an exceedingly low-calorie ketogenic diet may help those who are overweight or obese, especially those who have insulin resistance, lose weight.

Aspiring clinical psychologists – the hopes and concerns of undergraduate psychology students about their future
Authors: Dickinson R. , Conway A. , Shirley L.
Published: May 2023

The number of psychology students at UK universities is at an all-time high (Higher Education Statistics Agency, 2022) and over half of psychology students who are interested in a career in mental health are specifically interested in becoming clinical psychologists (National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health, 2019) and from our experience (as a student, educator, and career consultant), aspiring to this career can result in high levels of anxiety. To explore the experiences of aspiring clinical psychologists, we conducted semi-structured interviews with thirteen undergraduate psychology students who hope to become clinical psychologists. From our thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006), we identified three themes: ‘Information: what, when, who?’, ‘The rocky road to clinical psychology training’ and ‘Choosing clinical psychology and its cost’. The study led to the development of an undergraduate ‘Clinical Psychology Club’ to support the career choices of aspiring undergraduate clinical psychologists.
