В статье приведен обзор основных классических подходов к производству биологически активных пептидов (БП) и способы их идентификации. Показано, что традиционно используемые способы получения и анализа БП требуют значительных временных и материальных затрат, что ограничивает подробные исследования и оперативную разработку БП. Новые биоинформационные подходы in silico, используемые для идентификации, характеристики, разработки биоактивных механизмов и производства БП из пищевых белков, могут упростить получение и исследование БП, что позволит ускорить разработку функциональных продуктов с использованием БП.

The article describes the main classical approaches to the production of biologically active peptides and methods for their identification. It has been shown that the traditionally used methods of obtaining and analyzing bioactive peptides (BP) are not only very costly, but also require a significant amount of time, which limits detailed research and rapid development of BP. New bioinformatic approaches in silico used for identification, characterization, development of bioactive mechanisms and production of BP from food proteins can simplify the production and study of biologically active peptides, which will speed up the development of functional products using BP.

Для углубления фундаментальных представлений о механизме гелеобразования пищевых биополимеров на молекулярном уровне проведен термодинамический анализ условий и факторов, оказывающих влияние на процесс структурирования их водных растворов. На основе количественного описания параметров и оценки закономерностей структурирования при взаимодействии активных групп коллоидов с дисперсионной средой рассмотрены термодинамические особенности фазовых переходов гидроколлоидных систем. Обосновано, что энергетическое состояние таких водных систем зависит от показателя активной кислотности, определяется величиной заряда молекул, количеством реакционноспособных групп и вязкостью водных структур пищевых биополимеров. Представлен пример прогнозного расчета конформационных характеристик молекул желатина как одного из широко распространенных и типичных представителей пищевых биополимеров. Показано, что при рН 11 ед. заряд молекулы составляет минус 40 ед., а характеристическая вязкость (15,0 см3/г), гидродинамический радиус (5,24 нм) и площадь поверхности (345,0 нм2) являются наибольшими по сравнению с нейтральной и кислой средами.

To deepen the fundamental understanding of the mechanism of gelation of food biopolymers at the molecular level, a thermodynamic analysis of the conditions and factors that influence the process of structuring their aqueous solutions was carried out. Thermodynamic features of phase transitions of hydrocolloid systems are considered on the basis of quantitative description of parameters and estimation of regularities of structuring in the interaction of active groups of colloids with a dispersion medium. It is shown that the energy state of such water systems depends on the active acidity index, is determined by the amount of charge of molecules, the number of reactive groups and the viscosity of water structures of food biopolymers. An example of predictive calculation of conformational characteristics of gelatin molecules as one of the most common and typical representatives of food biopolymers is presented. It is shown that at a pH of 11 units, the charge of the molecule is minus 40 units, and the characteristic viscosity (15,0 cm3/g), hydrodynamic radius (5,24 nm), and surface area (345,0 nm2) are the largest in comparison with neutral and acidic media.

Исследована закономерность влияния модифицированных крахмалов Е 1442, Е 1422 и Е 1412 на скорость влагопереноса в желейно-фруктовом мармеладе (ЖФМ). Объекты исследования – модельные образцы ЖФМ, каждый из которых содержал 2% модифицированного крахмала (Е 1442, Е 1422 или Е 1412). Образцы были упакованы в полипропиленовую пленку толщиной 40 мкм и хранились в контролируемых условиях при температурах 18 и 28ºС. В качестве контрольного образца взят ЖФМ без влагоудерживающего компонента. За 8 недель хранения при температуре 18ºС массовая доля влаги образцов ЖФМ, изготовленных с использованием 2% модифицированного крахмала и без него, уменьшилась от 22,0% в различной степени: до 21,5% в контрольном (без крахмала); до 21,7% с Е 1412 и Е 1422; до 21,4% с Е 1442. Активность воды в процессе хранения ЖФМ с использованием модифицированного крахмала составила 0,70–0,75. При увеличении температуры хранения на 10ºС скорость влагопереноса ЖФМ, изготовленного без использования модифицированного крахмала, увеличилась в 2,2 раза. Скорость влагопереноса ЖФМ, изготовленного с использованием модифицированного крахмала, увеличилась в 1,3–1,7 раза. Установленные закономерности влияния вида модифицированного крахмала на скорость влагопереноса дают возможность управлять сроком годности желейно-фруктового мармелада.

The regularity of the influence of modified starches E 1442, E 1422 and E 1412 on the rate of moisture transfer in jelly-fruit marmalade (JFM) was studied. The objects of the study are model samples of JFM, each of which contained 2% modified starch (E 1442, E 1422 or E 1412).The samples were packed in a polypropylene film 40 microns thick and stored under controlled conditions at temperatures of 18 and 28°C. JFM without a water-retaining component was taken as a control sample. During 8 weeks of storage at a temperature of 18°C, the mass fraction of moisture of the samples of JFM using 2% modified starch and without it decreased from 22,0% to various degrees: to 21,5% in the control (without starch); to 21,7% with E 1412 and E 1422; to 21,4% with E 1442. The activity of the water in the storage process of JFM, using modified starch amounted to 0,70 to 0,75. When the storage temperature was increased by 10°C, the moisture transfer rate of JFM, made without the use of modified starch, increased by 2,2 times. The rate of moisture transfer of JFM made using modified starch increased by 1,3–1,7 times. The established regularities of the influence of the type of modified starch on the rate of moisture transfer make it possible to control the shelf life of jelly-fruit marmalade.

Предложена конструкция сепараторной установки, отличающаяся от существующих тем, что ее основание выполнено с кольцевыми канавками полукруглого сечения, посредством которых ротор-барабан установлен с возможностью вращения на неферромагнитные шарики. Кроме того, подогрев сепарируемого продукта в установке осуществлен с использованием неизбежного тепловыделения в обмотках установки путем пропускания сепарируемого продукта по трубкам, которыми обвиты лобовые части обмоток установки. Для исследования аварийных режимов этой установки (обрывов фаз, короткого замыкания) и получения ее динамических характеристик разработана математическая модель в виде системы дифференциальных уравнений, описывающей взаимосвязи между ее параметрами (сопротивления обмоток статора и ротора, число витков в них) и параметрами переходных процессов (ударные токи, длительность переходного процесса). Смоделирована работа сепараторной установки при обрыве одного фазного провода с помощью пакета прикладных программ Simulink – Simulation and model-based design (MATLAB). Разработанная модель позволила оценить влияние параметров статора и ротора установки на переходный процесс в аварийных режимах и учесть это влияние на этапе проектирования. Преимущества предлагаемой установки – повышенная надежность, улучшенные энергетические и массогабаритные показатели.

The design of the separator unit is proposed, which differs from the existing ones in that its base is made with circular grooves of semicircular cross-section, through which the rotor-drum is mounted with the possibility of rotation on non-ferromagnetic balls. In addition, the heating of the separated product in the installation is carried out using the unavoidable heat generation in the windings of the installation by passing the separated product through the tubes that are wrapped around the front parts of the windings of the installation. A mathematical model in the form of a system of differential equations describing the relationship between its parameters (the resistance of the stator and rotor windings, the number of turns in them) and the parameters of transients (shock currents, the duration of the transient process) has been developed to study the emergency modes of this installation (phase breaks, short circuits) and to obtain its dynamic characteristics. The operation of the separator unit in the event of a single phase wire breakage is modeled using the Simulink is a Simulation and Model-Based Design (MATLAB) application software package. The developed model allowed us to estimate the influence of the stator and rotor parameters of the plant on the transient process in emergency modes and to take this influence into account at the design stage. The advantages of the proposed installation are increased reliability, improved energy and weight and size indicators.

Используемые в промышленности форпрессы для предварительного съема масла и экспеллеры для окончательного отжима различаются геометрией витков шнекового вала. В настоящее время наметилась тенденция к объединению этих аппаратов в единый маслоотжимной агрегат на основе геометрии наборов витков форпресса и экспеллера или двух совращающихся шнековых валов, позволяющих значительно увеличить продолжительность процесса за счет увеличения длины шнековых каналов. Предложено аналитическое решение математической модели распределения потока и гидростатического давления масличного материала в процессе отжима растительного масла непрерывным способом в канале витка шнекового пресса. Показана возможность математического моделирования этого процесса на основе двумерной модели слоистого течения неньютоновской жидкости с учетом геометрии витков шнекового вала и скорости его вращения, позволяющая рассмотреть этот процесс для современных маслоотжимных агрегатов на основе геометрии наборов витков форпресса и экспеллера или двух совращающихся шнековых валов. Получена оценка пропускной способности канала с учетом сопротивлений выходного устройства, а также аналитическое решение распределения потока и гидростатического давления масличного материала в процессе отжима растительного масла.

Used in the industry the pre-oil extraction pre-presses and the expellers for the final spin differ in the geometry of the screw shaft turns. Currently, there is a tendency to combine these devices into a single oil-pumping unit based on the geometry of the sets of turns of the forpress and expeller or two rotating screw shafts, which can significantly increase the duration of the process by increasing the length of the screw channels. An analytical solution is proposed for a mathematical model of the distribution of flow and hydrostatic pressure of oil-bearing material in the process of pressing vegetable oil in a continuous way in the channel of the screw press. The possibility of mathematical modeling of this on the basis of a two-dimensional model of a layered flow of a non-newtonian fluid, taking into account the geometry of the turns of the screw shaft and the speed of its rotation, is shown, which makes it possible to consider this process from a single point of view of using modern oil-extracting units, both on the basis of the geometry of sets of turns of the forpress and expeller, and two screw shafts. As a result of the conducted studies, an estimate of the channel capacity was obtained, taking into account the resistances of the output device, as well as an analytical solution for the distribution of the flow of oilseed material and the hydrostatic pressure of the oilseed material during the extraction of vegetable oil.

The combination of a radial diaphysis fracture and ipsilateral elbow dislocation is a rare lesion. Only a few similar cases have been reported in the literature. Such injuries need a concentric reduction of the dislocation and an anatomical fixation of the radius for optimal functional outcomes. The radial fracture and ipsilateral dislocation of the elbow were probably caused by forearm hypersupination with extension of the elbow. Closed reduction of the elbow and operative stabilization of radial fracture were done with good clinical, radiological and functional outcomes in 8 months follow-up period. We discuss through a clinical case of a radial shaft fracture unusually associated with postero-lateral elbow dislocation and through a review of the literature the clinical aspects, the mechanism, treatment and the evolving profile of this particular lesion.

Authors: Zager Lindsay N. , Jensvold Mary Lee A.
Published: November 2021

The goals of zoos are providing an entertaining and educational experience for visitors, promoting environmental conservation, and promoting positive welfare for nonhuman residents. Education can unify these goals. In this study, data were collected on visitors to the chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) exhibit at The Zoo Northwest Florida. Researchers implemented three conditions of education at the chimpanzee viewing platform: a graphic sign, a trained docent, and a control condition with no intervention. The sign and docent encouraged visitors to use affinitive chimpanzee behaviors. Visitors were significantly more active in the graphic sign condition and significantly less active in the docent condition, and their behavior did not vary from the expected value during the control condition. Visitors used the affinitive behaviors that were demonstrated in each experimental condition. These results suggest that both graphic signs and docent interaction affect visitor behavior and can be considered useful educational tools for fulfilling the goals of the zoos.

This study was conducted to assess comparative economic analysis of the areca nut and rice production. This study also aimed to assess the major governing factors and overall economy involved in the production, major problems leading to shift rice farming, key determinants of areca nut production in the study area. Seventy areca nut growers were selected by simple random technique and thirty rice growers were selected by purposive sampling technique. Three potential areas of Jhapa district: Mechinagar municipality 1, 2, 3, 4; Buddhashanti and Arjundhara were selected as the survey site where there is major shifting of rice cultivation for commercial areca nut farming. The data collection was done from both primary and secondary sources. Descriptive statistics benefit cost analysis, resource use efficiency through Cobb-Douglas economic model was used to analyze data using SPSS. It was found that areca nut production had significantly higher gross return in comparison to rice whose production was affected by factors viz. labor, manure, chemical fertilizers, pesticides and irrigation in areca nut while machineries use, chemical fertilizers, seeds, manure and labor for rice production. The major reason for adopting areca nut cultivation was easier in cultivation practice, low cost of cultivation and high economic return. The B/C ratio of areca nut and rice was 2.02 and 0.99 respectively which was statistically significant. The productivity of the areca nut can be increased by adopting improved cultivation practices and scientific technology. Since, agro climatic conditions favors the production of areca nut cultivation, it should be shifted from small scale to commercialized form.

Despite the fact that the world is at the rapid phase of agricultural modernization, but we are still concerned about food security. To meet the demand of exponential increase in population there is requirement of 70% more food by 2050. To overcome this situation we have to improve our existing crop varieties and make them genetically diverse, adaptive to climate change, input use efficient, high yielding, enhanced nutritional attributes, and better adaptable to a wide range of agro-ecosystems and should not deteriorate existing environment. Among the various methods of breeding to improve crop varieties mutation breeding (induced mutation) plays a crucial role for the development of genetic variation among themselves. Over past five decade mutation breeding is getting more popular and till now 3,362 mutant plant varieties from 240 different plant species in more than 75 countries are released. Different types of physical, chemical and combined mutagens have been used by various breeder to induce genetic variability in various crops. 2635 varieties are developed by physical mutagens, 398 varieties are developed by chemical mutagens and 37 varieties are developed by combination of physical and chemical mutagens. Continent wise, 82 varieties are developed by Africa, 2049 by Asia, 10 by Australia and Pacific, 959 by Europe, 53 by Latin America, and 209 by North America. Similarly, 1602 major cereals, 501 major legumes and 86 major oil seed mutant crop varieties are developed by mutation breeding/induced mutation. Mutation breeding improve several qualitative and quantitative characters of crop plant and is successfully applied in several cereal, grain legume, oil seed, vegetable, fruits, medicinal plant, ornamental plants and fodder crops. With the advancement of various plant breeding, genetics, and biotechnological tools mutation breeding contribute toward the increase in global food and agriculture production which ultimately overcome global hunger and improve the nutritional status of the globe.

Authors: Yadav Pankaj Kumar , Sharma Shaurav , Sharma Amrit
Published: November 2021

Rice is a staple food to over half of the world population. It is an economically important crop throughout South Asia. Rice in this region is susceptible to insect pests such as Planthoppers, Leafhoppers, Stem borers, Hispa and many others. Several management practices have been adopted in the region since historic times. The management practices include cultural, biological and chemical methods in addition to integrated and miscellaneous approaches. Rice farmers in the region rely heavily on the conventional cultural practices. However, the trend is shifting slowly to the chemical approaches with gradual increase in availability and affordability of synthetic insecticides. Integrated Pest Management (IPM), which focuses on sustainable crop production, has shown promising results. Modern management techniques such as genetic modification, use of digital technology, resistant cultivars, fungal entomopathogens etc. are more effective and eco-friendly. The focus at present should be the adoption of modified cultural methods, judicious application of chemicals, use of resistant cultivars and exploitation of biological resources.

Different types of cultural methods for the disease control are also evolving. In this study, we found out the different plant diseases occurring in summer vegetables in syangja district and compare the management practices, which are being used by conventional and commercial farmers. For this, farmers were asked questions related to the symptoms of diseases and the management practices which they are using for the control of disease. 72.9% of farmers pointed out disease as the major problem in summer vegetable. More number of Commercial farmers (75%) were found to use both chemicals and non-chemical disease management methods than conventional farmers. Botanical pesticides was in more use in commercial farms than in conventional farms. Not only botanical pesticides, chemical pesticides were also more in use in commercial farms. Commercial farms were found to use both chemical and botanical pesticides according to severity of disease. Conventional farmers were found to use a greater number of chemical pesticides as compare to botanical pesticides because of lack of knowledge and quick action of chemical pesticides.

Authors: Wicaksono Sangaji Agung , Linarti Utaminingsih
Published: November 2021

Based on production data of overburden (OB) stripping at Pit 7 PT XYZ in February 2019, productivity of the excavators doesn’t reach the desired target. To find out the potential for increased productivity and effectiveness of using excavators, it’s necessary to do an analysis using the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) method. OEE is a performance measurement tool that has the ability to identify the root of the problem and it’s causative factors so that improvement efforts are more focused. The parameters used in the calculation of OEE value are: Availability, Utilization, and Productivity Index. Based on the result of data processing, the OEE value were 56,00% for excavator EX2313 and 34,19% for excavator EX2325. This means that the OEE value hasn’t been able to meet the world class standard OEE value in medium category, namely 60%. Improvement are made by reducing lost work time but obstacles can be avoided, so as to increase utilization. The proposed improvement provide increased in the OEE value were 12,73% for excavator EX2313 and 11,61% for excavator EX2325. This shows that the OEE value of PC800 with number EX2313 reaches the world class standard in medium category or productivity can be considered reasonable, namely 68,73%. Meanwhile, the OEE value of PC800 with number EX2325 still doesn’t reach the world class standard in medium category, namely 45,80%.
Leaving Your Dignity at the Door: Maternity in Wellington 1950 - 1970
Authors:   , Stojanovic Jane Ellen Esther
Published: November 2021

This thesis describes the maternity system in Wellington between 1950 and 1970 particularly from the perspectives of consumers and midwives. Four women consumers who experienced maternity in Wellington and two midwives who worked in Wellington’s maternity hospitals during this period provided their oral testimonies as the main primary sources for this study. The author’s recollections of being a student nurse and a consumer in Wellington and other primary and secondary sources are used to substantiate, explore and explain the topic. The study traces the sociopolitical changes in New Zealand maternity from 1900 to 1970 creating a backdrop against which Wellington’s maternity system, including the women, the hospitals, the workforce, maternity practices and the childbearing process are illuminated using the insights of women and midwives who experienced them. “That’s what this lady who had had her baby, said to me, she said, You lose your dignity when you have your baby”, was a comment from one of the interviewed women. This took me back to student days when a common saying was ‘You leave your dignity at the door when you go in to have a baby’. These comments suggested the title for this thesis. The oral testimonies of the six participants described positive and negative aspects of their maternity experiences, but the three strong themes that arose from their accounts included ‘being alone’, ‘lack of autonomy’ and ‘uncaring attitudes’.

Published: November 2021

The Internet is growing every day as a source of knowledge and medium for exchange of information. Midwives are beginning to recognise its potential for networking and collaboration, as well as a research tool for accessing evidence-based information that can be utilised in practice. This thesis explores the use of the Internet by midwives in New Zealand. It describes a pilot study, which took the opportunity to trial the use of the Internet as a research tool. The pilot study also tested a survey designed to discover how midwives regard and utilise the potential of the Internet to revolutionise the provision of maternity care. The sample for this study was a convenience sample of 54 midwives working in New Zealand. The midwives were invited by personal email to access the web site and complete the questionnaire. The data were then transferred by electronic transmission into the research database, and analysed by SPSS computer software. The data generated were nominal and descriptive statistics were used. This pilot study has shown that there is a population of midwives in New Zealand who regularly use the Internet for searching information, which they utilise in their professional practice, and pass onto colleagues and midwifery clients. Respondents were recruited to the study by way of ‘snowballing.’ One hundred and ten emails were sent out inviting midwives to participate in the study.

Authors:   , Bamford Anita F
Published: November 2021

Re-engineering is the "buzz" word of the nineties. Re-engineering has been successful in industry. Now the principals of re-engineering are being applied to healthcare. Considerations for re-engineering secondary healthcare in New Zealand will be examined in this literature review, which is divided into two sections. The first section provides the aims of the literature review, my background interest and knowledge of the topic, it's relevance to nursing practice, plans for addressing the literature review, and proposed sources of information. Section two illustrates the learning contract to manage the task of conducting the literature review. It identifies timelines for managing the project and agreed arrangements for communication with my mentor. Finally, a report will address my progress in relation to my learning contract articulating insights gained and hopes and dreams for successfully incorporating process re-engineering in my area of nursing and midwifery practice in the future.
The Jewel in the Crown: a Case Study of the New Zealand College of Midwives Standards Review Process in Wellington
Authors:   , Skinner Joan
Published: November 2021

In 1990 New Zealand midwives regained the legal right to practice autonomously Large numbers of midwives exited the hospital system to provide continuity of care both in the community and in the hospital. These midwives practise independently and are funded by the state to do so. The New Zealand College of Midwives has developed and promoted a midwifery model of partnership, incorporating this model into its Code of Ethics and Standards for Practice. In its commitment both to professional development and to accountability, and in partnership with consumers of maternity care, the College developed the Midwifery Standards Review Process. This process involves the midwife in an annual review of her practice. The midwife gathers and collates her statistics, and measures her practice against the NZCOM Standards for Practice. Consumer feedback forms are sent directly to the review co-ordinator. All this information is presented to a panel consisting of two midwifery peers and two consumer representatives. Together with the midwife they discuss her year's work and develop goals for the coming year. The purpose of the review is to provide the midwife with a supportive, educative environment in which to reflect on her practice while at the same time providing an avenue for professional accountability. This study describes the Midwives Standards Review Process in detail using a case study approach. It finds that the process is a unique and innovative addition to the ways peer review and reflective practice can be provided. It identifies the issues of quality assurance, reflective practice, supervision and competence as being of most relevance. In particular it develops the ideas of how reflective practice can be enhanced within a quality assurance model. It recommends that further research is undertaken to ascertain whether midwives using the process find it useful, in particular how it has assisted them in their professional development. Further research may also increase the body of knowledge on the nature of reflective practice and how it is best facilitated.
Hearing the Adolescents' Voice: a Study Evaluating the Use of Conjoint Analysis for Use with Adolescents to Determine Preferences for Inpatient Hospital Facilities
Authors:   , Gibson Catherine
Published: November 2021

Some adolescents spend considerable time in hospital in environments that are designed either with adults or with younger children in mind. This research used the economic technique of conjoint analysis and an informal discussion to canvas opinions regarding ideal combination of inpatient facilities and, because of the changing youth culture, the use of cell phones in hospital. The content of the conjoint analysis was, with the exception of the inclusion of the question regarding the use of cell phones, derived from the literature. Because conjoint analysis does not appear to have been used with adolescents one of the questions to be answered was whether this was a method of research that could be used with adolescents. The research was undertaken with 29 young people, most of who were from CanTeen (the adolescent cancer support group) in Wellington. The conjoint analysis, and discussion with the adolescents supported the general findings from the literature that adolescents do not want to be nursed in either overtly paediatric or, in their words, ‘dull adult wards’, as they enjoy bright lively surrounds. Ideally they would like to be nursed with their peer group and so have the opportunity to interact with young people of their age. The research demonstrated that adolescents are able to understand the concept of conjoint analysis and also supported findings from overseas that these healthcare consumers value having their opinions canvassed and are well able to give constructive and well thought out opinions. A report on the findings of this research will be presented to Capital and Coast District Health Board with the expectation that it will be considered when the final decisions are made regarding the upgrading of Wellington Hospital’s present facilities as it is anticipated that these facilities will contain dedicated adolescent beds within the paediatric unit.
Soothing Sounds: an Investigation into the Value of Music in Palliative Care
Authors:   , Hall Karen Anne
Published: November 2021

Music has almost turned full circle in its application for people whose physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being needs to be addressed, particularly in palliative care. Music has been used for centuries to enhance everyday life, and offer therapeutic properties to heal the body and the soul. Since the development of palliative care as a specialised area of medicine and nursing in the 1970s there has been an increased awareness in providing total or holistic care. This acknowledges the patient as a whole person, and the multitude of difficulties that patients and their families may face. Music can be useful in helping individuals to cope with the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual pain that accompanies dying. Because of music's non-threatening nature, it can often 'speak' where words are sometimes difficult. Music is tied closely to human emotions, and often music can be the catalyst to 'lift the lid' off these emotions in a safe, supportive environment. This qualitative study focuses on van Manen's theory of the 'lived experience' in relation to two families and asks the first thesis question. What is the value of music in the care of someone who is dying? Over the course of their loved one's illness these families provided music in the patients home as part of their care. The study also captures the experiences of two nurses who work in the palliative setting, and their use of music in providing holistic care to their patients. Their experiences relate to the second question. How can nurses be assisted in introducing music into their planned care of patients? The results demonstrate the effectiveness of using taped music for someone who is dying, and the reduction in symptoms, such as anxiety, and pain. It also highlights the importance of the individual's choice, and the special moments that can be achieved for both patient and families when music is used in a caring, supportive environment. This encourages communication, especially in the sharing of emotions. This study may be the first qualitative study in New Zealand, that addresses the value of music in palliative care, therefore there is a need for continued research into this therapy as a treatment modality as part of planned care in palliative nursing.
"I'm Ready for You. Why Won't You Come, Baby?" A Narrative Study of Induction of Labour for Prolonged Pregnancy
Authors:   , Davies Rhondda Suzanne
Published: November 2021

The voice of women's experience of prolonged pregnancy and induction of labour is largely absent in the literature. This research relays and reflects upon the stories of four women who were induced because their pregnancies were overdue.  The date a woman's baby is due has assumed huge significance. However our methods for dating a pregnancy remain imprecise. Despite this, a very precise timing is recommended by some practitioners as to when to induce, since increasing length of pregnancy increases level of risk of morbidity or mortality to some babies.  For the women awaiting the onset of labour and their families, the undercurrents, which affect the milieu as the days pass, include powerful dichotomies. For example the best available research makes a clear recommendation to intervene but reinforces the woman's choice of management, suggesting that it is acceptable to choose to wait. Women experience emotional vulnerability due to apprehension both about continuing to wait, and about having the increasing likelihood of an induced labour. This is a decision that comes closer and closer, yet may not be necessary - a tense 'race' of sorts is in progress. Women experience mounting physical and social pressures, and a generalised, escalating frustration. Some of the common assumptions made about what it is like for women are that it is a struggle to accept the concept of the unreliability of the due date, to parry well meaning but unhelpful comments and the associated pressure, and to remain confident and phlegmatic when there is an alternative to waiting. An increasing number of women go on to be induced. The primary indication cited is 'prolonged pregnancy'.  I have employed a narrative approach, using a feminist process and story telling, to convey the experience of being overdue and being induced, together with commentary informed by the literature and reflection on practice. Here women are speaking to women. The vivid detail and openness of the stories engrave messages to caregivers regarding women's needs for support while waiting, and for more information. The stories repeat messages documented in research carried out 25 years ago. Women require best available information, wish to be included in decision making, and should be encouraged to question their midwives and other caregivers on all aspects of pregnancy and proffered interventions.
If a Client is Operating From a Samoan World View How can S/He be Holistically and Appropriately Treated Under the Western Medical Model?
Authors:   , Esera Folole Iaeli
Published: November 2021

This paper is an analysis of the cultural and traditional factors that I believe are essential considerations in the treatment of Samoan people who have been diagnosed with a mental illness.  Just as important to any diagnosis is the spiritual nature of our culture and traditions, which forms the most part of my people's belief system. A full understanding of these will explain how the traditional beliefs and cultural values of Samoan people have an impact on their perception of mental illness, its causes and cures. Greater emphasis will be placed on 'ma'i -aitu', the Samoan term for most ailments pertaining to the mind or psyche.  The focus will be on defining 'ma'i -aitu' as part of a Samoan world view and likewise a description of a similar type of manifestation in the Papalagi (western) context of a psychiatric disorder and how treatment and management is usually undertaken.  The issues addressed in this paper will serve to highlight the Samoan client's world view from a Samoan perspective of mental illness which then poses the question of how they can be managed holistically and appropriately under the Papalagi medical system. Furthermore, does the traditional belief system of Samoans run deeper than we originally thought and can the replacement thereof by a foreign culture be responsible for the increased mental problems in Samoans living in New Zealand?  This paper emphasises the importance of integrating the western medical model and Samoan health models, for appropriate mental health service delivery to Samoan people.
