Nurses’ Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices regarding Pressure Ulcer Prevention in the Umgungundlovu District, South Africa
Authors: Dlungwane Thembelihle Patricia
Published: November 2020

The prevention of pressure ulcers remains a serious problem for nurses. The effects of pressure ulcers include high treatment costs, litigation matters, and increased workloads on nursing staff. Pressure ulcers affect patients’ emotional, physical and social well-being. The pain caused by pressure ulcers prolongs rehabilitation and hospital stays and could eventually lead to disability and death. The purpose of the study, conducted in the Umgungundlovu District in South Africa, was to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of nurses regarding the prevention of pressure ulcers. A descriptive cross-sectional study with an analytical component was implemented. The data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Frequency distribution tables, the t-test and ANOVA were used in the analysis of the data. A p-value of less than 0.05 was deemed statistically significant. The mean knowledge of nurses (N = 223) was 69.1 per cent, which was low. There was a statistically significant difference in knowledge by rank (p = 0.001), years of experience (p = 0.002), previous knowledge of pressure ulcers (p = 0.001), and hospital ward (p > 0.001). There was a significant difference in knowledge between the nursing assistants and the registered nurses (p = 0.004). A large proportion of nurses (58%) had a positive attitude towards pressure ulcer prevention. The average practice score was 56.2 per cent. The nurses’ knowledge and practices of the prevention of pressure ulcers are unsatisfactory, although their attitudes are positive. Knowledge improvement is necessary to influence attitudes and practices. A multi-faceted approach is required to empower the nurses.

Objetivo: Avaliar a eficácia de dois métodos explicativos acerca da quantidade de dentifrício fluoretado. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo de caráter transversal, intervencional, descritivo e quantitativo, com uma amostra de 80 pacientes, de 5 a 10 anos de idade, atendidos em uma clínica escola de Odontologia em João Pessoa – PB. Os pacientes foram randomizados em quatro grupos: grupo controle, grupo com acesso à explicação oral, enquanto outro grupo teve acesso apenas a explicação escrita e um grupo com a explicação associada. Resultados:  Entre os participantes da pesquisa, 59,5% eram do sexo feminino e 40,5% do sexo masculino, com idade média de 7,59 anos. No teste estatístico de Kruskal Wallis, verificou-se que não há diferença estatística em relação ao método educativo utilizado entre os grupos, enquanto o teste de Wilcocxon demonstrou diferença entre os demais grupos quando comparados com o grupo controle, onde o método associado se mostrou mais eficaz. No teste de Friedman, constatou-se, mais uma vez, que o método associado se mostrou mais eficiente. Conclusão: De acordo com os resultados encontrados, observou-se que não há diferença estatística em relação ao método educativo utilizado entre os grupos de crianças, entretanto, outros testes demonstraram que o método associado apresentou melhores resultados.

Objetivo: Averiguar os conhecimentos de profissionais de saúde sobre o princípio da atenção diferenciada aos povos indígenas. Métodos: Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória de abordagem qualitativa. Como campo foi escolhido um hospital de um município do estado de Roraima. Foram aplicados questionários com 11 perguntas semiestruturados para 7 profissionais de saúde. Resultados: A maioria dos participantes não tinham experiência de trabalho com povos indígenas, e apresentaram uma compreensão limitada, não sabiam, ou não conseguiam construir uma opinião formada. Nas análises das falas dos profissionais, verificou-se que eles conhecem algumas características sobre atenção diferenciada, como por exemplo, percebem os aspectos culturais e a diversidade linguistica e étnica dos povos indígenas. No entanto, não faziam relação desses aspectos, para embasar atitudes e comportamentos em suas práticas assistenciais em saúde. Conclusão: Diante da percepção dos  profissionais de saúde, foram evidenciadas visões diferenciadas, sendo possível conhecer suas experiências em relação a realidade do trabalho no hospital, verificando uma preocupação com os conhecimentos sobre os povos indígenas e com a qualidade na atenção. As formações dos diferentes profissionais de saúde precisam ser revistas, no sentido de prepará-los para o trabalho em contextos interculturais.

Conclusion:

Dermatological manifestations are common among patients with ESRD. Early diagnosis and prompt management of the dermatological diseases may improve the quality of life of the affected.
The Geographic Determinants of Economic Growth and the Increasing Albania-Kosovo Trade Relations
Authors: Mehmeti Valbona
Published: November 2020

For the last few years, the trade volume between Albania and Kosovo has increased considerably, clearly showing that, on top of many other factors, the geographic determinants of economic growth and development must never be underestimated. On the other hand, the ever-closer economic integration of Albania and Kosovo is only natural and should not be considered as a cause for political rifts in the Western Balkans. The paper will go through the various documents and agreements adopted by Tirana and Pristina to promote mutual trade relations, and it will refer to an abundance of data indicating the improving trade relations. Subsequently, the paper will shed light on the patterns of economic behavior that Albania and Kosovo show, a behavior which can be better comprehended under the framework of geographic determinants of economic growth and development, such as location, resources, food productivity, population and population growth, regionalization, culture, etc.

Samoistny dozór kuratora sądowego – propozycja nowego środka karnego
Authors: Kobes Paweł
Published: November 2020

Zmieniające się tendencje w polityce kryminalnej polegające przede wszystkim na stopniowym odchodzeniu od represyjnego oddziaływania na sprawców przestępstw w kierunku ułatwiania im powrotu do normalnego życia społecznego oraz rosnąca pozycja zawodowa kuratorów są- dowych stwarzają przed tymi ostatnimi nowe możliwości postępowania z przestępcami. Jedną z nich jest stworzenie nowego środka karnego w postaci samoistnego dozoru kuratora sądo- wego nad przestępcą. W ramach takiego dozoru zawodowy kurator sądowy mógłby przede wszystkim realizować działania resocjalizacyjne z uwzględnieniem szerokiej autonomii kuratora.
Amerykańskie domy poprawy – houses of refuge – w opisie Alexisa de Tocqueville’a i Gustave’a de Beaumonta

Published: November 2020

Artykuł zawiera opis amerykańskich domów poprawy dokonany przez Alexisa de Tocqueville’a i Gustave’a de Beaumonta. Przedstawiono w nim ich własne opinie i komentarze, z których wy- czytać można zdanie badaczy na temat przyczyn przestępczości dzieci i młodzieży, charakter tej przestępczości, ogląd na szanse resocjalizacji oraz zasadność recepcji na gruncie francuskim metod resocjalizacji z amerykańskich domów poprawy. Tocqueville i Beaumont w 1831 r. od- byli dziewięciomiesięczną podróż do Stanów Zjednoczonych. Głównym celem ich wizyty było zbadanie systemów penitencjarnych: systemu pensylwańskiego i auburnskiego, jednak swoją uwagę skierowali również na system postępowania z nieletnimi przestępcami. Domy poprawy – houses of refuge – były instytucjami, które w swoim działaniu łączyły naukę i pracę, dyscyplinębudowaną także poprzez więź z wychowankami, progresywną klasyfikację oraz rozwiązania za- bezpieczające sytuację podopiecznych po wyjściu z instytucji.
Podstawa stosowania warunkowego przedterminowego zwolnienia
Authors: Sikorska Maja
Published: November 2020

W glosowanym postanowieniu SN odniósł się do kwestii podstawy stosowania warunkowego przedterminowego zwolnienia, w tym analizy zagadnienia pozytywnej prognozy kryminolo- gicznej. Autorka glosy aprobująco odnosi się do stanowiska SN, że charakter popełnionych prze- stępstw nie może wpływać na decyzję o warunkowym przedterminowym zwolnieniu. Ponadto, niezasadne jest nadawanie większego znaczenia okolicznościom popełnienia czynu, niż wszyst- kim pozostałym przesłankom wskazanym w art. 77 § 1 k.k., stanowiącym podstawę do zasto- sowania warunkowego przedterminowego zwolnienia. W przeciwnym wypadku instytucja ta stałaby się całkowicie zależna od okoliczności popełnienia przestępstwa i niezależna od postę- pów resocjalizacji sprawcy. Jednakże – w opinii autorki glosy – argumentacja sądu mogłaby być uzupełniona o dodatkowe argumenty, w tym sąd mógłby zwrócić uwagę na istotę prognozy kryminologicznej, która stanowi przekonanie, a nie gwarancję, że skazany będzie przestrzegał porządku prawnego i nie popełni ponownie przestępstwa.

Published: November 2020

Introduction:
In the first months of the child’s life, the spine is not ready to adopt and keep the upright body posture and to control the position of the body axis during locomotion. However, the authors’ clinical observations show that it is common to carry children in the first year of their lives in a way that could be a potential source of overload of the locomotive organ.

Aim:
The purpose of the work is to present the most common, incorrect ways of carrying infants and presenting their clinical consequences.

Material and methods:
Using the keywords ‘carrying children,’ ‘stacking babies,’ ‘moving babies,’ ‘carrying an infant,’ ‘stacking infants,’ ‘moving infants,’ the following databases were searched: Science Direct, Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus and Clinical Key. Works published after 1990 were searched.

Results and discussion:
The most frequently observed mistakes when carrying a baby include: excessive bending of the lower limbs resulting in lumbar spine kyphosis, carrying the child facing the parent with the head rotated to one side, carrying the child facing the carer with the head in hyperextension and shoulders in protraction, carrying an infant face down on the forearm and the so-called ‘carrying on the hip.’

Conclusions:
Incorrect carrying an infant can affect the incorrect stimulation of a child’s psychomotor development.

Published: November 2020

The paper deals with geodetic and metrological activities in the field of length parameter, on the basis of which the uniformity and accuracy of measurements and gauges are ensured also in international extent. The historical role of surveyors in determining the basic unit of length is briefly described. Furthermore, the impact of the application of the laser tracker on the accuracy of determination of the characteristics of the geodetic length standard Koštice (Czech Republic) is evaluated. Based on laboratory tests performed in VUGTK and interlaboratory comparative tests with a leading laboratory in the length parameter in Veisala (Finland), the declared uncertainties of measurement of the VUGTK laboratory were confirmed. These are applied in the metrological traceability of the geodetic length base in Javoriv (Ukraine).

Published: November 2020

Age-related decreases in executive function and an increase in arterial stiffness and plasma homocysteine levels are related to the risk of dementia. However, the association between executive function, arterial stiffness, and homocysteine levels remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between executive function, arterial stiffness, and plasma homocysteine in 82 middle-aged and older women. The Stroop interference time, Brachial-ankle Pulse Wave Velocity (baPWV), and plasma homocysteine concentration were collected. The correlation analyses revealed that the Stroop interference time was significantly correlated with plasma homocysteine (r = 0.40, p < 0.001) and baPWV (r = 0.38, p = 0.001). In addition, plasma homocysteine levels were significantly correlated with baPWV (r = 0.48, p < 0.001). In the mediated analyses, the plasma homocysteine level directly (β = 0.24; p = 0.037) and indirectly (β = 0.12, 95% confidence interval [0.007, 0.238]) affected the Stroop interference time. These results suggest that higher plasma homocysteine levels are associated with a decline in executive function mediated by higher artery stiffness in middle-aged and older women.

The effect of vertical gardens on temperature and CO2 levels in urban housing
Authors: Nugroho Agung Murti
Published: November 2020

The city's thermal environment plays an important role in achieving comfort and quality of life, especially during the current global pandemic. Meanwhile, reduction in the green areas has been observed to be continuously causing climate change in cities and one of the proposed solutions to this is by developing a greening system for buildings. This paper, therefore, assessed the ability of vertical garden to decrease air and surface temperatures as well as CO2 levels. The research involved field measurements of these parameters both inside and outside the building along with the modification of the vertical garden distance at 0.5 m and 1 m as well as the plant type including red spinach or amaranthus hybridus, mustard or brassica juncea, celery or apium graveolens linn, and cat's whiskers or orthosiphon spicatus. The results showed an average decrease of 0.75°C in air temperature, 16.4ºC in surface temperature, and 58.8 ppm in CO2 levels. Moreover, a maximum reduction of 6ºC was achieved in air temperature with red spinach plants at 0.5 m, 26.3ºC in surface temperature by the Rred spinach plant, and 124 ppm in CO2 levels by celery plants. In conclusion, a closer distance and darker color of the leaves as well as the red spinach species were found to be the main consideration in the application of vertical gardens in urban homes due to their ability to reduce the temperature on the limited land.

Identify the development and  general  features  of  the  design  of satirical  periodicals  of  Odessa  in  the  late XIX – early XX centuries. Methodology. The research methodology is  based  on  comparative  and  historical methods  that  help  to  trace  the  relevant retrospective  of  the  development  of satirical  periodicals.  Applied  art  analysis allows  to  explore,  identify,  compare  and describe  the  features  of  the  design  of certain publications. Results. On the basis of examples and the processed literary sources graphic-stylistic and technical features of artistic design of covers and pages of satirical periodicals of Odessa in the late XIX – early XX centuries are defined. The design of covers of such magazines  as  «Pchelka»,  «Crocodil», «Bomba»  is  analyzed.  It  was  found  that the  considered  editions  did  not  follow  a single  style  of  graphic  material,  but  this did  not  interfere  with  the  overall  design.

The aim of the article is to analyze the stylistic synthesis examples in the design of a modern costume, and to identify the actual combinations of two or more styles in one image which are preferred by Ukrainian designers. Models of modern women’s clothing, represented on the Ukrainian market by designers, trade locations, and printed fashion magazines has been used asthe objects of the analysis. Methodology.The systematic approach has been used for examination of the modern design activities as result of the postmodern culture influence and for detection of the relationship between artistic phenomena and the design practice. Art analysis has been used for the analysis of the shape, silhouette, costume plasticity, and allowed to reveal the main ways of different styles elements combination into a single structural integrity. Resalts. The interpretation of the different styles interaction problem in art and dsign by art theorists and costume practitioners has been given in the study. The analysis of women's clothing models represented on the Ukrainian market by such designers as Nadya Dzyak, Ksenia Schnaider, and such Ukrainian brands as RITO, Jul through the Ukrainian Fashion Week web-resource, own web-sites and online stores, and published by TRserial and ELLE has been provided. The fact that modern costume designers are vibrantly trying to combine components ofdifferent styles in one image, which allows obtaining a variety that reflects a wide range of human needs and preferences, has been demonstrated. Scientific novelty. The study of stylistic synthesis as a separate direction in the costume design has been represented. The visual series that allows studying of the stylistic combinations variability and identifying the need of stylistic synthesis introduction into the theory and practice of design techniques have been formed with the help of the selective method. The main directions of different styles synthesis in the designers developments have been determined. The practical significance. The analysis of stylistic synthesis promising techniques in the modern women's costume can supplement the insufficiently studied areas in the theory and practice of design. The results of the study can be used as practical recommendations for costume design and fashionable image formation based on the stylistic synthesis.

Kuta Bataguh is administratively located in Bataguh and East Kapuas Districts, Kapuas Regency, Kalimantan Tengah. The research aims to reconstruct the characteristics of Kuta Bataguh. This research is using interpretive-descriptive method with the inductive reasoning. Data collection used surveys, excavations, interviews, and literature study. The analysis included environmental, stratigraphic, artifactual, spatial, and absolute dating analysis. Survey (surface and aerial) and excavation activities were carried out inside and outside the fence, both downstream and upstream of the Karinyau River. The results illustrate that the characteristics of Kuta Bataguh are a large permanent settlement that is split by a river. The fortified settlement of Kuta Bataguh was the leader residence of Ngaju community group (as the center of power). By referring to the pattern, function and extent of this settlement, it can be assumed that the local authorities in Bataguh are on par with early state in their socio-political organization.

Multiple Intelligences, Chronic Relative Underperformance Risk and the Perception of the Organizational Creative Environment: Exploratory Correlational Study at Single Employer in the Netherlands

Published: November 2020

 Creativity is important within knowledge-intensive organisations. In this article, we research the relations between profiles of multiple intelligence and how employees assess their organisation as supporting creativeness. Multiple intelligences theory is important because it takes a more humanistic approach to skills, abilities and talents, in recognising that there is more to a human than the skills appreciated in classical g-theory. We are interested in whether different types of people look differently upon the organisation in this regard. Special attention is given to employees whose  multiple intelligence profile is higher than required for their job, a misfit inducing risk for chronic relative underperformance, and how this misfit relates to the assessment of the work environment.

Data collection was done in a large institute for mental health care in the Netherlands. On a voluntary basis, employees were assessed on their personal multiple intelligences profile using the MIDAS® questionnaire. They simultaneously assessed their organisation on supporting creativity, using the KEYS® to Creativity and Innovation questionnaire. The data were analysed in three ways (1) by correlating the values of their multiple intelligence with the assessment on creative climate; for this 189 records could be used, (2) by computing the risk of chronic relative underperformance, and correlating this with creativity climate; for which 147 records of mental health workers remained for the analysis; and (3) investigating whether there was a difference in scores when the results were grouped by highest or lowest intelligence.

Results show that there is mild support for our expectation that multiple intelligences matter and that employees with profiles that are high on intelligences not required for the job assess the work environment as less beneficial for creative output. It is concluded that organisations (which consist of a spectrum of differently profiled humans) may benefit from taking into account these differences within their workforce. Limitations to the study design are also discussed.

In this study the relations between multiple intelligences profiles and chronic relative underperformance, and how the organization is perceived as contributing to creativity are explored, using data retrieved for this purpose from mental health workers. There are several, though weak, relations between intelligences and the perception of several attributes of the work environment (as measured by the KEYS®).
Rasch gone mixed: A mixed model approach to the Implicit Association Test
Authors: Epifania Ottavia M. , Robusto Egidio , Anselmi Pasquale
Published: November 2020

The Implicit Association Test (IAT) is one of the most commonly used measures for the implicit assessment of preferences and attitudes. Nevertheless, the meaning of the IAT effect remains unclear. Since the IAT is based on the speed and accuracy with which different stimuli are categorized in the category to which they belong, the sense of the IAT measure is strongly related to the functioning of the stimuli used to represent the categories. Thus, a model providing a fine-grained analysis at both respondents and stimuli levels would help in clarifying and interpreting the IAT measure. By applying Linear Mixed Effects Models to IAT accuracy and time responses, this study aims to present a modeling framework for IAT data resulting in such a detailed analysis at both respondents and stimuli levels. The proposed models provide a detailed picture of the contribution of each stimulus to the IAT effect, allowing for the identification of malfunctioning stimuli that can be eliminated or substituted to obtain better performing IATs. Additionally, the detailed information on respondents' performance yields a better understanding of the classic measure of the IAT effect (i.e., the D score). Implications of the results and future research directions, also implying different implicit procedures, are discussed

Rethinking brain-wide interactions through multi-region “network of networks” models
Authors: Perich Matthew , Rajan Kanaka
Published: November 2020

The neural control of behavior is distributed across many functionally and anatomically distinct brain regions even in small nervous systems. While classical neuroscience models treated these regions as a set of hierarchically isolated nodes, the brain comprises a recurrently interconnected network in which each region is intimately modulated by many others. Uncovering these interactions is now possible through experimental techniques that access large neural populations from many brain regions simultaneously. Harnessing these large-scale datasets, however, requires new theoretical approaches. Here, we review recent work to understand brain-wide interactions using multi-region "network of networks" models and discuss how they can guide future experiments. We also emphasize the importance of multi-region recordings, and posit that studying individual components in isolation will be insufficient to understand the neural basis of behavior.
Understanding scientific collaboration: Diversity of collaborators and sequences in publication bylines
Authors: Chinchilla-Rodríguez Zaida
Published: November 2020

Comparing distinct dimensions of diversity and author order in publications could improve the understanding of collaborative work and help to identify opportunities for and risks of evaluation of collaborative work in different scientific career stages. Thus, the aim of this paper is to better understand the contextual dynamics of evaluating collaborative work by investigating the relationship between the sequence of authors in the publication bylines and the diversity of their collaborators. The diversity of collaborators is quantified with three separate dimensions, namely topic, impact, and gender diversities. Using the ArnetMiner dataset containing ACM-indexed publications in computer science, we find that the following three patterns relate to higher-impact scientific publications: (1) greater (less) topic diversity of collaborators plus more (less) tendency to work as first or last authors; (2) less (greater) impact diversity of collaborators plus more (less) tendency to work as first authors; and (3) greater gender diversity of collaborators plus more tendency to work as last authors. We also detect different patterns of authors’ first-, middle-, last-authored publications before and after their Ph.D. graduation and find that there are some differences for topic and impact diversities but not many differences for gender diversity in terms of Ph.D. students and researchers in their later stages of careers. Some implications are described, and a brief description of the limitations and future research are provided.
