Published: October 2023

O envelhecimento da população brasileira é uma realidade que vem sendo percebida há algumas décadas e que tende a se tornar ainda maior com o passar dos anos. Quando o envelhecimento resulta em senilidade, muitas vezes os familiares precisam abrigar os idosos em Instituições de Longa Permanência (ILPIs), nas quais pode ocorrer a perda da singularidade dos indivíduos. Nesse contexto, é de grande importância que os enfermeiros conheçam a realidade do idoso, a partir do seu próprio ponto de vista. Objetivos: Compreender os sentimentos e percepções apresentados por idosos residentes em duas ILPIs do oeste do estado de São Paulo. Método: Pesquisa descritiva, exploratória, com abordagem qualitativa. Os sujeitos da pesquisa foram sete idosos residentes em duas ILPIs do oeste do estado de São Paulo. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas gravadas e transcritas, que posteriormente foram analisadas segundo a análise de conteúdo temática, levantando duas categorias temáticas: 1) Sentimentos relacionados à história pessoal e 2) Impressões sobre as relações na ILPI. Resultados: Os sentimentos identificados nos discursos foram especialmente perda, solidão, inutilidade e culpa. Em relação às ILPIs, emergiram sentimentos de satisfação e insatisfação. Considerações Finais: As percepções advindas da análise dos resultados podem promover reflexões nos profissionais e gestores das ILPIs. É importante também que as equipes de trabalho possam ser compostas por profissionais diversificados e capazes de atender as necessidades enfrentadas pelos idosos institucionalizados.

Introduction: Upper Respiratory Tract Infection (ARI) is an acute respiratory infection caused by pathogens that are transmitted from human to human. Signs and symptoms usually appear quickly within a few hours to a few days. ARI is a very contagious disease and can occur due to decreased body resistance, for example due to fatigue or stress. Upper Respiratory Tract Infection (ARI) is one of the diseases that has the highest incidence rate and is the main cause of death and morbidity in infants and toddlers in Indonesia. Providing education to mothers of babies and toddlers regarding Upper Respiratory Tract Infections (ARI) is important.
Objective: To provide counseling and education at toddler posyandu.
Method: The strategy used is to carry out health education, where this strategy will be aimed directly at the target, namely mothers of babies and toddlers at Posyandu Balita Margosari RW. 05 Ledug Village. The implementation strategy that has been carried out is by providing health counseling on URTI, with lecture, discussion, and roleplay methods.
Result: implementation of health education on Upper Respiratory Tract Infections at the Margosari Toddler Posyandu. Before being given counseling, many participants still did not know or hear about ISPA.

Published: October 2023

Introduction: Anemia during pregnancy is a public health problem, especially in developing countries, and is associated with poor pregnancy outcomes. During pregnancy, iron deficiency anemia adversely affects maternal and fetal well-being and is associated with increased fetal morbidity and mortality. Affected mothers often experience difficulty breathing, fainting, fatigue, heart palpitations, and difficulty sleeping. They also have an increased risk of developing perinatal infections, pre-eclampsia, and bleeding. Babies whose birth weight is less than 2,500 grams will carry the risk of death and impaired child growth, including the risk of being stunted if not handled properly.
Objective: This activity aims to increase pregnant women's knowledge about anemia and stunting so that pregnant women can have a healthy pregnancy.
Methods: Health education activities about anemia and stunting were given to pregnant women in Joton Keboarum village, Klaten. This activity began with a coordination meeting with the village midwife regarding the implementation of providing anemia and stunting health education. The media used is material in the form of Power Point, which is provided with the help of an OHP.
Results: The most knowledge of pregnant women before being given counseling was poor knowledge, as many as 9 pregnant women (69.2%), while the knowledge of pregnant women after being given counseling was mostly good knowledge, as many as 11 pregnant women (84.6%).
Conclusion : there was an increase in knowledge about anemia and stunting after being given health education

Isländische Ritter- und Abenteuersagas zeichnen das Bild einer imaginären Vorzeit, die geprägt ist von gewaltigen Schlachten, in denen riesenhafte Helden gegen Widersacher streiten, die grotesk überzeichnet scheinen. Was dem heutigen Leser als freiwillig oder unfreiwillig komische Übertreibung anmutet, nimmt sich vor dem Hintergrund mittelalterlicher Welt- und Vergangenheitskonstruktionen, einer Epoche, in der die Relikte von Sauriern als „Riesenknochen“ zu interpretieren waren, ungleich glaubwürdiger aus. Dem Rezipienten im spätmittelalterlichen Island bot dies in räumliche wie zeitliche Ferne projizierte Spektakel der Körper, obgleich es in erster Linie dem Vergnügen dient, zugleich mehr als das: Glaubhafte – oder zumindest „geglaubte“ – Schilderungen von den Wundern der Vorzeit, im Dienste der Unterhaltung.

In the context of the damage tolerance approach used to drive aircraft maintenance operations, it is essential to demonstrate the reliability of NDE inspections in detecting structural damage especially for additively manufactured components since this process produces components that may introduce material anomalies at any location within a component. The Probability Of Detection curve (POD) that links the probability to detect a detrimental flaw to its size is generally used as a key indicator for that purpose by giving the maximum flaw size that a NDE process can miss with a given level of probability and confidence. This information can then be used along with other inputs such as component geometries, mechanical properties, constraints, service and residual stresses and damage evolution speed to assess fracture risk and then adapt maintenance scenarios to optimize safety and component service life.

NDE reliability and risk assessment are based on statistical indicators that need a large amount of data to provide reliable metrics. It is difficult to obtain such indicators using a purely empirical approach that is based on physical trials and measurements as it may involve many mock-ups and costly processes. Simulation tools can achieve this goal via their ability to include and precisely monitor many parameters as well as high computing capacities that are now available.

The work presented in this paper involved cosimulations performed between the DARWIN® probabilistic damage tolerance software and the CIVA NDE simulation software. DARWIN computes fracture risk levels throughout a component, while CIVA can efficiently provide Probability Of Detection curves at different locations in a component and for various NDE methods. The presented application deals with a titanium gas turbine engine impeller disk and involves an Ultrasonic NDE inspection technique.

It appears to be a very interesting approach to connect together NDE and Fracture mechanics simulations, two disciplines that generally work on their own. Indeed, DARWIN helps the user to determine detrimental flaw types, locations and sizes which are key inputs to develop an effective NDE inspection method. CIVA can provide location-specific POD curves that enable DARWIN to quantity the effect of dedicated NDE on potential risk reduction. This highlights the importance of NDE simulation for safety and helps to identify potential changes in the physical NDE process and the maintenance cycle that provide the best compromise between detection performance and cost.
FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE – THE MONUMENT OF HUMANITY IN THE CRIMEAN WAR 1853.-1856.
Authors: Spaić Milan
Published: October 2023

Background: Ms. Florence Nightingale (F.N.) has been recognized as the founder of modern nursing. She had a prominent role in organizing the medical service for the British army in the Crimean War. Aim: The goal of the research was to determine the role and contribution of F.N. to the medical service during the Crimean War, her original organizing arrangements, and novel treatment modalities in the setting of a mass casualty situation. The impact of her war experience on her psychological condition has been assessed. Methodology: The research was done through a review of the historical documents, considering the work and the role of F.N. in the British Army medical service during the Crimean War. Result: The passionate work of F.N. in the field hospital earned her the nickname Angel of Crimea. She introduced novel methods of nursing and sanitation that reduced the mortality rate in the British Army by 70%. However, after the war, on her return home to England, she showed mood changes consistent with what is nowadays known as posttraumatic stress disorder. Conclusion: Engagement in the medical service during the war carries the inevitable risk of the development of posttraumatic stress disorder. This should be considered a real and obvious threat for medical personnel involved with the treatment of the injured during the war, i.e., the mass casualty situation. The contribution of F.N. to the organization and efficacy of the military medical service of the British Army has been discussed.

The Secondary Medical School "Zvezdara" was founded in 1921 with the support of the United Kingdom as the first school for the education of nurses in our region. In our educational system, since 2000, various educational reforms have been implemented, affecting the education of nurses through innovation and change of plans and programs with changes in goals and outcomes of nursing education. The aim of the paper was to make a short critical review of the education of nurses from 1921 to 2021, with a focus on the history of the school institution as the oldest school institution for the education of nurses in this region. A qualitative analysis of the plans and programs was done, and then, by comparing the analyzed plans and programs, an insight into the changes in education that influenced the change in goals and outcomes of education was shown. The paper will highlight the advantages and disadvantages of the reform of the education of nurses. Available plans and programs and school monographs were used for the preparation of the paper, which were qualitatively analyzed, and then a comparative analysis was carried out. In the paper, the authors suggest the necessary changes that should be implemented in the future so that plans and programs better meet the educational needs of students and thus enable the development of the professional competencies of future nurses.
THE THORNED PATH TO AN ACADEMIC CAREER - NURSING EDUCATION IN NORTH MACEDONIA
Authors: Beshliovska Gordana , Madzovska Julijana
Published: October 2023

The title of “nurse” is acquired through four years of regular education in a secondary vocational school for nursing. Currently, fifteen schools are accredited to educate students, and several of them are authorized to conduct part-time education organized as formal education for adult retraining (requalification) lasting two years. The students in both cases will acquire the same title and competencies and are eligible to continue to the second level of education at a higher vocational school for nurses. The studies of nurses in higher professional education are a continuation of the education that provides a high professional education, but anyone who has completed secondary school, regardless of whether she or he is in the health profession, is eligible to study nursing. The title of “graduate nurse,” i.e., "graduated medical technician," is acquired through three years of regular or part-time studies. To study part-time, it is necessary to enclose verification of employment, regardless of whether you work as a healthcare worker or a completely different job. Four state higher vocational schools for nursing and a private one are providing nursing education. The competencies of a graduate nurse and a nurse with a secondary nursing school education are almost the same in practice. A person acquires the title of "nursing specialist" with the successful completion of the study program of the second degree of studies, with which she or he acquires education and qualifications for performing the health activity of a nurse with a special profile. The highest level of nursing qualification, the doctorate in nursing science or any other field of nursing, does not exist at universities where higher professional schools educate nurses. By obtaining a diploma from the third study program of a foreign higher education institution, where the studies have quality results as per the European directives for regulated professions, you are recognized in the Republic of North Macedonia. Studying abroad for an individual who pays on his own is too expensive, and the state does not provide scholarships, which is why the title is "The Thorned Road to an Academic Career".
Dynamic Nonlinear Relationship between Digital Transformation, Green Transformation in Manufacturing Industry and Labor Structure: Evidence from Panel VAR Analysis
Authors: Jiang Haiyong , Han Yinghui , Wang Yue , Chen Zhenyu
Published: October 2023

The digital transformation of manufacturing industry can promote the development of green transformation and promote the differentiation of workers’ skill structure; On the other hand, it will also hinder the green development due to the huge energy consumption generated by the application of digital technology and facilities. In addition, the green transformation of manufacturing industry will also have differentiated impacts on the employment of labour with different skills due to the innovation of green technology. The existing research has not discussed too much about the interaction among the digital transformation and green transformation in manufacturing industry and labour structure. So, this paper uses the PVAR model to examine the dynamic relationship between digital and green transformation within the industrial sector from the perspective of labour structure, specifically analyzing the impact difference across regions. The results suggest that there is a reciprocal connection between the digitization of manufacturing sector and the labour structure, particularly in the eastern region of China, but the overall interaction between the two remains weak. The interactive between the green transformation of manufacturing industry and the labour structure in the central and western areas has been delayed over periods 1-6. Digital and green manufacturing transformation reinforce each other in central and western regions. However, the digital revolution in the manufacturing industry is hindered by the green transformation in eastern region.

Published: October 2023

This exploratory research, by employing mixed method approach, intended to explore the understandings and perspectives regarding the way social media networks are being used by the university students. The main objective of research was to understand the university students’ perspective of SMNs and identify the patterns and purposes of social media usage by university students. One hundred and seventy students of two public sector universities in Sindh province participated in this research. Survey questionnaire was used as a major data collection tool. This questionnaire has twenty statements regarding social media usage and one open ended question related to problems associated with use of social media. Collected data was analyzed using demographic statistics, descriptive statistics, central tendency statistics and t-test. Thematic analysis and word clouds were used to analyze the open-ended question. From the analysis of data, it was found that use of social networking sites has positive as well negative influences on the academic performance, study habits and social interactions of the students. Many of the students (81%) believe that SMNs have brought improvement in their academic performance. It was also found that WhatsApp is the most preferred SMNs among university students. Another important finding was that on average 3-4 hours are daily spent on SMNs by the students. It was also found that faculty encourage the students to use SNS, however, percentage of teachers who do not encourage is also considerable. The study recommends that since internet and social media are accessible to a large population, particularly students, its usage may be planned in a responsible fashion particularly in educational institutes. It is also recommended that detailed guidelines to be developed by the concerned authorities for restricting social networking sites and other online sites during certain times for the students. To conclude, the findings of this research bring awareness regarding the good and bad impacts of this resource on students’ academic as well as personal habits.

In Urdu literature, sketching is a very popular and heartwarming genre like fiction. Sketch is also a separate genre like essay, fiction, drama, and story. Its religious symbols are also called (photo type, sketch). It is believed and recognized as gender, The art of sketching is both easy and difficult, language is also taken into account in sketching, is a very complex genre (which is consumed by sign language).When we mention sketching in Urdu literature, like other genres, there are very few creations of women in sketching. But the women who wrote sketches are of very high quality, but a question arises in the mind. Why hasn't physical examination been done in Khangari, and what is the reason for it, so many questions arise in the mind, is it the dominance of men over women in this society due to which women are being degraded, so maybe the rest of the castes Similarly, the tendency of women in sketching is less, famous sketchers of Urdu literature, who have written very good sketches, names of some of them are listed and comments are being made on the sketching of selected women. Saliha Abid Hussain, Hamida Akhtar Hussain Raipuri, Bano Qudsia and Razia Sajjad Zaheer are prominent among these women.

While in predicating and designating, quantifying and generalizing, and in numbering, English speakers use one/many figuring, Yoruba speakers do the same in whole/part as they, like their English counterparts, do the little embodied rituals (with hands, eyes, gestures) that go with these acts. Numbers as used in English and Yoruba languages reveal two systems of abstraction constructed in two diverse systems of categorization. The disparity in the two strings of abstraction is the divergence between Yoruba and English, regarding the forms of actions that bodies do, actions that are in turn coded as the language users engage in predication and designation. As a part of grammar, natural number is a historical product; an attempt at giving meaning. It has been naturalized, and is no longer seen as a social product. Establishing how the truths numbers form come into existence, Verran explains quantifying as resulting from ritualized and routinized collective embodied acting. She renders an account of generalization in the explanatory frame of “emergent worlds.” She tells of the experience of doing quantification and managing diversity in a manner that allows a “going-on together” in Yoruba classrooms, markets, and civil administration. She tells of practicing diversity and telling about that practice, a responsible communication of diversity as practicable and amenable to matters of mutual concern. She also recounts an ‘irresponsible’ doing and telling of difference (conservativist universalism and liberalist relativism), a contriving that legislates a moral order, presenting difference as undoable and unmanageable. Contemplating worlds as outcomes of reciprocally rebelling and cooperating co-players, we find explanatory frames that not only celebrate difference and sameness, and appreciate the place of the inanimate in the animate (human), but also that do not radically sever the symbolic from the material.

Gravity and Matter Reinterpreted
Authors:   Horia Hulubei National Institute of Physics and Nuclear Engineering, JORA RENATA
Published: October 2023

"In this work we propose a universal action for gravity and matter which in first orders leads to standard gravity and QFT theories. In our theory matter acts as conformal factors of generic conformal transformations applied to the metric. In this framework we derived easily the Schwarzschild metric with cosmological constant and the Reissner-Nordstrom metric. Moreover we estimate the value of the cosmological constant in very good agreement with the natural value."

"Due to the the multitude of composite materials available, choosing the most adequate ones is a difficult task. Apart from most relevant characteristics such as aesthetics and mechanical strength, it is just as important to obtain smooth restorations, given the negative effects of bacterial plaque retention on the stomatognathic system. We have considered four of the composite resins most frequently used by dentists in Romania and we used laboratory tests to analyse the wear resistance and surface roughness after applying 3 finishing systems. We show that finishing systems have a powerful impact on composite materials roughness, and the best results are obtained with a microhybrid composite. As for wear resistance, nanohybrid composites proved to be superior to microhybrid ones. The results of the study suggest that the structure of the composite material counter-balances its roughness. From a clinical perspective, the quality of the surface of dental restorations is important not only functionally, preventing their wear and bacterial plaque retention, but also from an aesthetical point of view.

"The seismic recordings from certain types of buildings in urban areas during moderate earthquakes from Vrancea-intermediate depth focal region are processed and analysed. One of the most important element in hazard evaluation at national level is the seismic recording network which has been upgraded in the last years up to over 20 strong motion accelerometers in Bucharest and 135 in Romania with easy data handling (accelerations easy to transform in displacements). The general behaviour of reinforced concrete buildings in Bucharest Metropolis during destructive seismic events from Vrancea-intermediate depth focal region is briefly described. The analysis of the elastic response spectra is made for four buildings subjected to the two recent earthquakes with magnitude higher than 4.8, of October 28, 2018 and January 31, 2020 from Vranceaintermediate depth seismic zone. The information consisting in maximum level of the pseudo-acceleration to which the buildings were subjected may be used to detect and quantify any exceedance of the code spectra of interest in near real-time. The recorded earthquakes data are transmitted in real time to the National Data Centre. The goal is to develop and implement modern techniques and tools able to estimate the effect of earthquakes on the built environment in the shortest time possible after a major earthquake. "

Destanlar Işığında Türk ve Moğol Halklarında Büyü
Authors: ÇÖLOĞLU Raşit
Published: October 2023

Türk Destanları üzerine yapılan incelemelerde büyünün önemli bir yer tutmadığı, Türk destancıların daha ayağı yere basan, gerçekçi ve avuntudan uzak bir anlatımı tercih ettikleri görülmektedir. Diğer yandan Moğol ve Moğol etkisindeki Türk destanlarında (Moğolca ve Altay Türkçesinde varyantları olan Cangar Destanı gibi) büyünün ağırlıklı bir yeri olduğu hemen dikkat çeker. Büyünün, Türk ve Moğol destancılık geleneğine yansımasının benzer kurguya sahip destanlar üzerinden karşılaştırılması Türk ve Moğol bakış açısındaki farkların daha açıkça görülmesini sağlar. Bu özelliklere sahip destanların başında Alpamış Destanı gelir. Alpamış’ın Oğuz, Kazak ve Özbek varyantları daha gerçekçi ve büyüye yer vermeyen bir anlatım sunarken Moğol etkisi altındaki Altay varyantı olan Alıp Manaş Destanı Moğol bakış açısına yakınsar ve metinlerde büyü her an başvurulan yollardan biridir. Bunun yanında büyücülüğe bakıştaki bu iki ekolün birbirine geçtiği Er Kökçö gibi bazı Orta Asya Türk Destanları da vardır. Ancak bu destanlarda bile Moğol ve Moğol etkisindeki Türk destanlarında olduğu gibi kahraman tüm gücünü büyüden almamaktadır. Makalede karşılaştırmalı metin analizi yönetimi kullanılmıştır.

Pruning replay buffer for efficient training of deep reinforcement learning
Authors: An Gavin , Zhang Sai
Published: October 2023

Reinforcement learning (RL) is a type of machine learning that develops artificial intelligence by training an algorithm through multiple generations to understand what strategies to use in various situations. RL has applications in virtually every field, from transportation to research. However, RL is limited in that it is very resource intensive, partially because of the necessity of a large replay buffer, which contains the data learned from each episode. This study provides knowledge on replay buffer reward mechanics to inform the creation of new pruning methods for improving RL efficiency. Specifically, we develop a novel approach designed to reduce storage complexity of the replay buffer and training data and thus improve model efficiency. We create three algorithms, Threshold Replay Buffer Pruning (TRBP), Cluster Replay Buffer Pruning (CRBP), and Inverse Threshold Replay Buffer Pruning (ITRBP), for this purpose, testing three contradicting theories on reward mechanics. We hypothesized that TRBP’s theory would be the most conducive to real-world conditions, which our results corroborated. These results indicated that TRBP can achieve a 2-fold reduction in replay buffer size with only a 5% reduction in score, while CRBP and ITRBP performed much worse. This supported the hypothesis that TRBP’s reward thesis is the most accurate out of the three algorithms, as well as demonstrated that TRBP is a potentially effective replay buffer pruning algorithm.

Accordingly, the current study aimed to identify the relationship between twenty-first century skills and psychological quality of life among female students at King Abdulaziz University in Jeddah. To achieve its purpose; It relied on the descriptive correlational approach, as the study was applied to a sample of (214) undergraduate students at King Abdulaziz University, and the measures of the twenty-first century skills and the quality of psychological life were prepared by the researcher, after verifying their psychometric characteristics, which came to a high degree. The study found the following results: There is a positive correlation, statistically significant, between the skills of the twenty-first century and the quality of psychological life among a sample of female students at King Abdulaziz University. The results concluded that the level of all twenty-first century skills (learning and creativity skills - digital culture skills - life and work skills) is available to female students at King Abdulaziz University at an advanced or high level. In addition, there were no statistically significant differences in the degrees of twenty-first century skills among a sample of female students at King Abdul Aziz University, due to the effect of the specialization variable. There are also statistically significant differences in the scores of twenty-first century skills among a sample of female students at King Abdulaziz University due to the impact of the current general assessment variable, in favor of female students whose assessment is high. Also, there are no statistically significant differences in the degrees of the quality of psychological life among a sample of female students at King Abdulaziz University due to the effect of the variable of specialization. Finally, there are statistically significant differences in the degrees of psychological quality of life among a sample of female students at King Abdulaziz University, due to the effect of the current general assessment variable.

Published: October 2023

The study examined the relationship between culture and organizational performance in Nigeria, focusing on three ethno-geographical locations. The results underscored a notable link between culture and organizational performance, revealing that organizations meeting the expectations of stakeholders – including owners, employees, and customers – tend to thrive within a culture conducive to their operations. Nonetheless, the performance of organizations is notably influenced by several key factors such as organizational context, cultural dynamics, economic and political conditions, availability of equipment, and the reliability of public utilities, notably electricity. The prevailing Nigerian cultural values prioritize collective orientation over individualism, lending support to consultative management approaches. It is worth noting, however, that this study is confined to the manufacturing sector, specifically textile firms, and its findings may not be directly applicable to other organizations outside this scope.

INFLUENCE OF ANCHORING ON THE SEISMIC FRAGILITY OF BUCKLING IN LIQUID STORAGE TANKS CONSIDERING SOIL-TANK INTERACTION: A CASE STUDY FOR WINE STORAGE TANKS
Authors: ULLOA ROJAS JUAN , COLOMBO JOSE IGNACIO , WILCHES JOSE , ALMAZAN JOSE
Published: October 2023

In the last decades, numerous liquid storage tanks have been affected by strong earthquakes, the damage observed ranges from the partial collapse to the total collapse of the storage tanks. Elephant-foot buckling is one of the most common failures observed in these structures, which can provoke their collapse and complete loss of contents. While hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads typically impact the seismic response of tanks, the soil type on which they are built plays an important role in influencing their performance during earthquakes. However, the soil-tank interaction has not been considered in the seismic fragility analyses of continuously supported tanks. This research aims to evaluate the seismic fragility of a continuously supported wine storage tank with a particular focus on elephant-foot buckling considering the soil-tank interaction. A specific soil condition and a typical wine storage tank are evaluated utilizing pushover-based seismic analysis and the Capacity Spectrum Method (CSM). 3D nonlinear Finite Element (FE) models are developed considering the tank, foundation, and soil. Seven ground motion records compatible with the soil type are considered. The seismic fragility is estimated using the FE models and the ground motion records. Both unanchored and anchored conditions are evaluated. The obtained results show that for the considered case study, the anchored condition shows better seismic performance when compared to the unanchored condition.
