Liderazgos medios e institucional pedagógico en educación secundaria: un estudio de casos
Authors: Maureira Cabrera Oscar , Guíñez Gutiérrez Carla , Lizama Zamora Camila
Published: December 2021

INTRODUCCIÓN. Los liderazgos medio y distribuido constituyen referentes para explorar estrategias y prácticas de influencia en modalidades de enseñanzas que por naturaleza y especificidad curricular son organizadas por departamentos. Tal división del trabajo docente ha sido frecuentemente el modo de organización en educación secundaria, constituyéndose con jefaturas en unidades y roles de interacción clave para la mejora y el cambio. MÉTODO. A través del estudio de casos único y con entrevistas, observación y análisis de redes, se examinan sistemática y profundamente dimensiones del liderazgo institucional, departamental en Matemáticas y Lenguaje y factores asociados, en el contexto de institucionalización de departamentos disciplinarios en liceo polivalente municipal chileno de alta vulnerabilidad escolar, que durante una década ha mejorado progresivamente aprendizajes estudiantiles. RESULTADOS. Los resultados obtenidos evidencian dimensiones de liderazgo instruccional, una estructura intermedia de coordinación interdepartamental, manifestaciones de cultura colaborativa que favorecen la distribución de liderazgos, lineamientos pedagógicos institucionales para desarrollar comunidades de aprendizaje docente, roles de jefes de departamentos como enlaces y líderes medios. DISCUSIÓN. Los hallazgos son consistentes con dimensiones de liderazgo escolar y factores asociados a la mejora de la eficacia escolar. Sin embargo, en lo que respecta a decisiones sobre distribución de liderazgos, a diferencia de la centralidad que existe en la escuela con la Dirección, este se concibe tanto en estructura organizativa como en roles y funciones de un modo más estratégico y sinérgico. Esto impulsa progresivamente el protagonismo de jefes de departamentos como líderes medios y reconociéndose en estos, en interacciones entre pares, un liderazgo más distribuido que focalizado en sus funciones departamentales.
Formación inicial y formación permanente del profesorado de educación secundaria en España
Authors: López Rupérez Francisco , García García Isabel , Expósito-Casas Eva
Published: December 2021

INTRODUCCIÓN. A lo largo del presente siglo, se ha ido incrementando la importancia de las políticas centradas en el profesorado e informadas por evidencias, en especial, las de formación inicial y las de formación permanente. En este contexto, el presente estudio adopta una aproximación diagnóstica para España y sus comunidades y ciudades autónomas. MÉTODO. La metodología empleada se apoya en la base de datos de PISA 2018 y en análisis secundarios efectuados desde una perspectiva descriptivo-exploratoria sobre una muestra efectiva de 18.892 profesores, estratificada por jurisdicciones subnacionales. RESULTADOS. Solo el 35.92% de los encuestados contestan afirmativamente, en promedio, al conjunto de los 18 ítems del cuestionario TC045 relativo a aspectos de su formación inicial. Un 33.40 % lo hace para factores críticos de la enseñanza, y un 30.57% para competencias para el siglo XXI. Esa terna de cifras se reduce, para la formación permanente, a un 24.12%, un 23.74% y un 27.71%, respectivamente. El análisis territorializado muestra un comportamiento algo más diferenciado en el caso de la formación permanente, pero gruesamente homogéneo para las distintas jurisdicciones. Un análisis por cuartiles del ISEC indica, en términos generales, una falta de orientación compensatoria de las políticas de formación permanente. DISCUSIÓN. Los hallazgos empíricos señalan una falta de actualización de la formación inicial del profesorado de ESO que es particularmente destacable para el Máster de Secundaria en lo que concierne a los factores críticos de la enseñanza, lo que plantea la necesidad de efectuar una reforma del modelo, informada por evidencias. En cuanto a la formación permanente, se aprecia un deficiente alineamiento con los actuales desafíos, tanto en materia de enseñanza como de compensación educativa, lo que sugiere un cambio notable de modelo de formación permanente que aporte al profesorado y al sistema educativo mayores beneficios.
Leg Impalement – A Rare Injury Pattern Case Report
Authors: Pina Gabriel , Rita Vaz Maria , Vaz Ana , Borralho Nuno
Published: December 2021

Introduction: Impalement injuries are defined as rare, high-energy lesions caused by foreign bodies, usually steel bars or wooden objects, which pierce body cavities or extremities and remain interposed in the perforated body region. They usually occur with road accident or civil construction falls.

Case Report:A 24-year-old male patient was admitted at the emergency department after a motorcycle accident, resulting a left leg impalement with a wooden object. A partial deep peroneal nerve palsy and a proximal third fibula fracture were observed. The foreign body removal and wound debridement were performed. The patient evolved favorably without complications, with complete neurological recovery and returning to his normal life activities.

Discussion: Impalement injuries represent a challenge in pre-hospital care, emergency room, and operating room hospital care, due to its rarity and specificity: Type of object, anomalous foreign body location, and trajectory. There is a consensus that whenever possible, it should be removed in the operating room, due to the foreign body may be tamponing a major arterial laceration, thus preventing massive hemorrhage.

Conclusion: Neurovascular injury exclusion, foreign body removal in the operating room, debridement, and antibiotic prophylaxis represent the treatment basis of these injuries.

IDH1/2 Mutations in Cancer Stem Cells and Their Implications for Differentiation Therapy
Authors: Molenaar Remco J. , Wilmink Johanna W.
Published: December 2021

Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 (IDH1/2) are enzymes recurrently mutated in various types of cancer, including glioma, cholangiocarcinoma, chondrosarcoma, and acute myeloid leukemia. Mutant IDH1/2 induce a block in differentiation and thereby contribute to the stemness and oncogenesis of their cells of origin. Recently, small-molecule inhibitors of mutant IDH1/2 have been Food and Drug Administration–approved for the treatment of IDH1/2-mutated acute myeloid leukemia. These inhibitors decrease the stemness of the targeted IDH1/2-mutated cancer cells and induce their differentiation to more mature cells. In this review, we elucidate the mechanisms by which mutant IDH1/2 induce a block in differentiation and the biological and clinical effects of the release into differentiation by mutant-IDH1/2 inhibitors.

Realistic retinal modeling unravels the differential role of excitation and inhibition to starburst amacrine cells in direction selectivity
Authors: Ezra-Tsur Elishai , Amsalem Oren , Ankri Lea , Patil Pritish , Segev Idan , Rivlin-Etzion Michal
Published: December 2021

Retinal direction-selectivity originates in starburst amacrine cells (SACs), which display a centrifugal preference, responding with greater depolarization to a stimulus expanding from soma to dendrites than to a collapsing stimulus. Various mechanisms were hypothesized to underlie SAC centrifugal preference, but dissociating them is experimentally challenging and the mechanisms remain debatable. To address this issue, we developed the Retinal Stimulation Modeling Environment (RSME), a multifaceted data-driven retinal model that encompasses detailed neuronal morphology and biophysical properties, retina-tailored connectivity scheme and visual input. Using a genetic algorithm, we demonstrated that spatiotemporally diverse excitatory inputs–sustained in the proximal and transient in the distal processes–are sufficient to generate experimentally validated centrifugal preference in a single SAC. Reversing these input kinetics did not produce any centrifugal-preferring SAC. We then explored the contribution of SAC-SAC inhibitory connections in establishing the centrifugal preference. SAC inhibitory network enhanced the centrifugal preference, but failed to generate it in its absence. Embedding a direction selective ganglion cell (DSGC) in a SAC network showed that the known SAC-DSGC asymmetric connectivity by itself produces direction selectivity. Still, this selectivity is sharpened in a centrifugal-preferring SAC network. Finally, we use RSME to demonstrate the contribution of SAC-SAC inhibitory connections in mediating direction selectivity and recapitulate recent experimental findings. Thus, using RSME, we obtained a mechanistic understanding of SACs’ centrifugal preference and its contribution to direction selectivity.
Perceptions of professional soccer coaches, support staff and players toward virtual reality and the factors that modify their intention to use it
Authors: Greenhough Ben , Barrett Steve , Towlson Chris , Abt Grant
Published: December 2021

A small evidence base supports the use of virtual reality in professional soccer, yet there is a lack of information available on perceptions and desire to use the technology from those employed at professional soccer clubs. Therefore, the aim of the study was to compare and quantify the perceptions of virtual reality use in soccer, and to model behavioural intentions to use this technology. This study surveyed the perceptions of coaches, support staff, and players in relation to their knowledge, expectations, influences and barriers of using virtual reality via an internet-based questionnaire. To model behavioural intention, modified questions and constructs from the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology were used, and the model was analysed through partial least squares structural equation modelling. Respondents represented coaches and support staff (n = 134) and players (n = 64). All respondents generally agreed that virtual reality should be used to improve tactical awareness and cognition, with its use primarily in performance analysis and rehabilitation settings. Generally, coaches and support staff agreed that monetary cost, coach buy-in and limited evidence base were barriers towards its use. In a sub-sample of coaches and support staff without access to virtual reality (n = 123), performance expectancy was the strongest construct in explaining behavioural intention to use virtual reality, followed by facilitating conditions (i.e., barriers) construct which had a negative association with behavioural intention. Virtual reality has the potential to be a valuable technology within professional soccer although several barriers exist that may prevent its widespread use.
The challenge of involving old patients with polypharmacy in their medication during hospitalization in a medical emergency department: An ethnographic study
Authors: Fabricius Pia Keinicke , Andersen Ove , Steffensen Karina Dahl , Kirk Jeanette Wassar
Published: December 2021

Background

More than 70% of patients admitted to emergency departments (EDs) in Denmark are older patients with multimorbidity and polypharmacy vulnerable to adverse events and poor outcomes. Research suggests that patient involvement and shared decision-making (SDM) could optimize the treatment of older patients with polypharmacy. The patients become more aware of potential outcomes and, therefore, often tend to choose less medication. However, implementing SDM in clinical practice is challenging if it does not fit into existing workflows and healthcare systems.

Aim

The aim was to explore the determinants of patient involvement in decisions made in the ED about the patient’s medication.

Methods

The design was a qualitative ethnographic study. We observed forty-eight multidisciplinary healthcare professionals in two medical EDs focusing on medication processes and patient involvement in medication. Based on field notes, we developed a semi-structured interview guide. We conducted 20 semi-structured interviews with healthcare professionals to elaborate on the findings. Data were analyzed with thematic analyses.

Findings

We found five themes (determinants) which affected patient involvement in decisions about medicine in the ED: 1) blurred roles among multidisciplinary healthcare professionals, 2) older patients with polypharmacy increase complexity, 3) time pressure, 4) faulty IT- systems, and 5) the medicine list as a missed enabler of patient involvement.

Conclusion

There are several barriers to patient involvement in decisions about medicine in the ED and some facilitators. A tailored medication conversation guide based on the SDM methodology combined with the patient’s printed medicine list and well-functioning IT- systems can function as a boundary object, ensuring the treatment is optimized and aligned with the patient’s preferences and goals.
Development and psychometric testing of a new measure of the determinants that influence the adoption of WhatsApp in hospitals
Authors: De Benedictis Anna , Lettieri Emanuele , Piredda Michela , Gualandi Raffaella , De Maria Maddalena , Tartaglini Daniela
Published: December 2021

Background

Healthcare contexts are witnessing a growing use of applications to support clinical processes and to communicate between peers and with patients. An increasing number of hospital professionals use instant-messaging applications such as WhatsApp in their daily work. Previous research has mainly focused on the advantages and risks of WhatsApp usage in different clinical settings, but limited evidence is available about whether and how individual and organizational determinants can influence the use of WhatsApp in hospitals. Moreover, instruments to explore this phenomenon are lacking. A theoretical four-factor model based on the ‘Technology Acceptance Model’ and the Institutional Theory, guided the development of a new measure of the individual and institutional determinants of WhatsApp usage in hospitals.

Aim

To develop and psychometrically test the questionnaire ‘Digital Innovation Adoption in Hospitals’.

Method

A panel of researchers and clinical experts generated an initial pool of 35 items by identifying and adapting items from existing measures. These items were assessed for content and face validity by fourteen experts. The final 28-item ‘Digital Innovation Adoption in Hospitals’ questionnaire comprising four sections (Perceived risks, Perceived usefulness, Regulative factors and Normative factors) was administered online to nurses and physicians. Construct validity was tested through confirmatory factor analysis.

Results

The sample included 326 hospital nurses and physicians. The theoretical four-factors model was confirmed and the confirmatory factor analysis yielded acceptable fit indexes. The correlations between the factors were significant and ranged from -0.284 to 0.543 (p < .01). Reliability in terms of internal consistency was satisfactory with Cronbach’s alpha coefficient ranging from 0.918–0.973.

Conclusion

This study is the first to provide a validated tool to evaluate the use of WhatsApp in hospitals. The new instrument shows reasonable psychometric properties and is a promising and widely applicable measure of factors that influence the use of WhatsApp in hospitals.
Schistosome immunomodulators
Authors: Acharya Sreemoyee , Da’dara Akram A. , Skelly Patrick J.
Published: December 2021

Schistosomes are long lived, intravascular parasitic platyhelminths that infect >200 million people globally. The molecular mechanisms used by these blood flukes to dampen host immune responses are described in this review. Adult worms express a collection of host-interactive tegumental ectoenzymes that can cleave host signaling molecules such as the “alarmin” ATP (cleaved by SmATPDase1), the platelet activator ADP (SmATPDase1, SmNPP5), and can convert AMP into the anti-inflammatory mediator adenosine (SmAP). SmAP can additionally cleave the lipid immunomodulator sphingosine-1-phosphate and the proinflammatory anionic polymer, polyP. In addition, the worms release a barrage of proteins (e.g., SmCB1, SjHSP70, cyclophilin A) that can impinge on immune cell function. Parasite eggs also release their own immunoregulatory proteins (e.g., IPSE/α1, omega1, SmCKBP) as do invasive cercariae (e.g., Sm16, Sj16). Some schistosome glycans (e.g., LNFPIII, LNnT) and lipids (e.g., Lyso-PS, LPC), produced by several life stages, likewise affect immune cell responses. The parasites not only produce eicosanoids (e.g., PGE2, PGD2—that can be anti-inflammatory) but can also induce host cells to release these metabolites. Finally, the worms release extracellular vesicles (EVs) containing microRNAs, and these too have been shown to skew host cell metabolism. Thus, schistosomes employ an array of biomolecules—protein, lipid, glycan, nucleic acid, and more, to bend host biochemistry to their liking. Many of the listed molecules have been individually shown capable of inducing aspects of the polarized Th2 response seen following infection (with the generation of regulatory T cells (Tregs), regulatory B cells (Bregs) and anti-inflammatory, alternatively activated (M2) macrophages). Precisely how host cells integrate the impact of these myriad parasite products following natural infection is not known. Several of the schistosome immunomodulators described here are in development as novel therapeutics against autoimmune, inflammatory, and other, nonparasitic, diseases.

Published: December 2021

Modern processes of geopolitical, socio-economic development of states and the global economy requirethe intensification of scientific and technical cooperation within the framework of regional associations,which include developing countries. This is necessary for the transition from a resource-based economy to aknowledge economy and a significant improvement in the welfare of the population.Unfortunately, despitethe presence of appropriate prerequisites, scientific and technical cooperation between the member states ofthe Shanghai Cooperation Organization is extremely poorly developed.It seems that one of the reasons forthis is the absence of a convention document regulating in detail various aspects of cooperation in the areaunder consideration.The necessity of development and adoption of the Shanghai Cooperation OrganizationConvention on international scientific and scientific-technical cooperation is substantiated.It is proposed toinclude in this document the goals and principles of international scientific and technical cooperation, ruleson a permanent SCO body on international scientific and technical cooperation, provisions on financialsupport for scientific and technical cooperation, framework norms on the legal regime of territories ofadvanced scientific and scientific-technical development, as well as the norms disclosing the legal status ofparticipants in international scientific and scientific-technical cooperation.

THE IMPACT OF DENTURES ON THE NUTRITIONAL HEALTH OF THE ELDERLY
Authors: Cafaro Gellar M. , Alter D.
Published: December 2021

Objective: There are many factors that can affect appetite in the older adult. Physiological factors affecting appetite can include cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease, renal disease, mental health issues, and even side effects of medications. Decreased ability to ambulate due to joint issues or pain can also negatively impact an older adult’s appetite. But perhaps one significant factor that is commonly overlooked is the ill fitting partial or complete denture. According to the American Dental Association, there are approximately 57% of people ages 65 to 74 wearing some form of denture. Due to this large number of denture wearers, it becomes imperative that health care providers learn to incorporate an oral assessment into their plan of care each time an older adult patient is examined. This assessment can assist providers to identify and differentiate unintentional weight loss and loss of appetite as being either part of a disease process or as a symptom of denture issues. Only then can the overall health of the elderly be holistically viewed and treated. The aim of this paper is to provide a summary of published data expressing the nutritional issues that occur in the elderly due to either being edentulous or from wearing improperly fitting dentures.

Published: December 2021

Objective: Older adults with obesity are at increased risk of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and vitamin D deficiency, but data on the effect of vitamin D supplementation in this population are equivocal. This study evaluated the effect of vitamin D supplementation on functional progression of KOA in older adults with obesity. Participants with Body Mass Index ≥30 kg/m2 and aged ≥ 60 years from the Osteoarthritis Initiative progression cohort were stratified by baseline vitamin D use. The relationship between vitamin D supplementation and progression of KOA at 72 months was characterized. The Western Ontario McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain scale was the primary outcome measure. Secondary measures included: WOMAC disability, Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly, gait speed and Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) scales. In older adults with KOA and obesity, baseline supplemental vitamin D use did not predict functional progression of osteoarthritis at 72 months.
En busca de una geografía de las novelas
Authors: Margueliche Juan Cruz
Published: December 2021

La propuesta de este trabajo fue analizar las miradas de la literatura en relación con la configuración del espacio en las propuestas de dos autores: Moretti y Casanova. Se trabajó a través de dos obras. La primera es el trabajo de Franco Moretti (2001) con su Atlas de la novela europea 1800–1900. La segunda propuesta versó sobre el trabajo de Pascale Casanova (2001) con La República mundial de las letras. Entre ambas propuestas se buscó indagar por un lado, la mirada que tienen los diferentes autores sobre el rol de la literatura en relación con la configuración de los espacios en la novela y el mundo real y, por otro lado, en comprender la red literaria que nutre el sistema mundial, como así también a las obras en su carácter individual, como pieza literaria. En este sentido, se presentarán brevemente el corpus y la propuesta metodológica de cada una de las obras y se buscará realizar un trabajo comparativo entre ambos libros identificando sus visiones y emergentes espaciales.
Reflections on Teaching Against White Supremacy During a Time of Social Rupture and Transformation
Authors: Wahab Stephanie , Fonseca Erica
Published: December 2021

Social Justice and Social Work is a foundational course required for all social work students in the master’s of social work program at Portland State University. Although the course has long focused on interrupting oppressions including White supremacy, teaching the course during the fall of 2020 required a nimble dance between our familiar modes of teaching and the need for spontaneous adaptation and creativity. The unique landscape for this course included teaching the course remotely (Zoom), inside a university embattled around the arming of its security force (that killed a Black man in 2018), in a city targeted by an armed federal response to the racial uprising led by Black Lives Matter, in a state with a long history of White supremacy and Black exclusion, and under a federal administration explicitly aligned with White supremacy. This paper offers a reflection of our teaching about and against White supremacy during this unique moment in time. We position our writing at the intersections of teaching and activism, of hope and uncertainty. It is from our shared commitment to the abolishment of White supremacy that the following tenets were derived, grounding our experimental teaching in complexity, complicity, and social transformation: (1) remembering for the future, (2) attending to collective grief and rage, (3) bringing the streets (racial uprising) into the classroom, and (4) repurposing the classroom for social transformation.

Published: December 2021

Dengue hemorrhagic fever is an acute febrile disease caused by the dengue virus, which enters the human bloodstream through the bite of a mosquito of the genus Aedes Aegypti or Aedes Albopictus. Based on World Health Organization (WHO) records, it is estimated that 500,000 dengue hemorrhagic fever patients require hospital treatment every year and most of the sufferers are children. To analyze the relationship between recovery time in dengue fever patients and the factors that influence it using regression analysis, the dependent variable is the failure time and the function of the response variable tends to fail constant so to find out the relationship using Cox proportional hazard regression. Cox proportional hazard regression is a regression model that is often used in survival analysis. Survival analysis is a method used to describe data analysis in terms of time from the time of origin defined until a certain event occurs. In this study, the recovery time of dengue fever patients as a function of failure is proportional. The observations used by the researchers for each patient were not the same. The population of this study were all patients with dengue fever. The data used was obtained from the medical record section for data on the length of hospitalization of patients regarding the recovery of patients with dengue fever. The conclusion of the research shows that the factors that affect the recovery time of dengue fever patients are hematocrit, platelets, immunoglobulin G, and immunoglobulin M.

Published: December 2021

The Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) is one of the most commonly used method to estimate linier regression parameters. If there is a violation of assumptions such as multicolliniearity especially coupled with the outliers, then the regression with OLS is no longer used. One method can be used to solved the multicollinearity and outliers problem is Ridge Robust Regression.  Ridge Robust Regression is a modification of ridge regression method used to solve the multicolliniearity and using some estimators of robust regression used to solve the outlier, the estimator including : Maximum likelihood estimator (M-estimator), Scale estimator (S-estimator), and Method of moment estimator (MM-estimator). The case study can be used with this method is data with multicollinearity and outlier, the case study in this research is poverty in Central Java 2020 influenced by life expentancy, unemployment number, GRDP rate, dependency ratio, human development index, the precentage of population over 15 years of age with the highest education in primary school, mean years school. The result of estimation using OLS show that there is a multicollinearity and presence an outliers. Applied the ridge robust regression to case study prove that ridge robust regression can improve parameter estimation. The best ridge robust regression model is Ridge Robust Regression S-Estimator. The influence value of predictor variabels to poverty is 73,08% and the MSE value is 0,00791.

Published: December 2021

E-commerce refers to business transactions using digital networks such as the internet. Based on the rank on the Appstore and Playstore, Shopee places the first rank. In 2019, Shopee had 56 million visitors. Meanwhile, in the same year, it had 3,225 workers. The imbalance between the number of Shopee visitors and Shopee employees allows users to be disappointed with Shopee's services, but on the other hand, there are also many users who are happy with its services. With both positive and negative responses to the services provided by Shopee, this study analyzes the factors affecting the acceptance of Shopee Apps on students of Universitas Diponegoro Semarang. The analysis was based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). It used the Structural Equation Modeling with the Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) approach. The study used primary data obtained by distributing questionnaires to students of Universitas Diponegoro. The result showed 28 valid indicators, 5 deal inner models, and 8 significant pathways. All the causality between latent variables contained in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) have a positive and significant effect, it's just that the results of integrating trust variables on TAM, namely the latent variable between trust and interest in usage behavior, have no significant effect.

Published: December 2021

A portfolio is a combination of two or more securities as investment targets for a certain period of time with certain conditions. The Markowitz method is a method that emphasizes efforts to maximize return expectations and can minimize stock risk. One method that can be used to measure risk is Expected Shortfall (ES). ES is an expected measure of risk whose value is above Value-at-Risk (VaR). To make it easier to calculate optimal portfolios with the Markowitz method and risk analysis with ES, an application was made using the Matlab GUI. The data used in this study consisted of three JII stocks including CPIN, CTRA, and BSDE stocks. The results of the portfolio formation with the Markowitz method obtained an optimal portfolio, namely the combination of CPIN = 34.7% and BSDE = 65.3% stocks. At the 95% confidence level, the ES value of 0.206727 is greater than the VaR value (0.15512).

Authors: Fatmarizka Tiara , Ramadanty Raudhatus Shofy , Khasanah Dini Afriani
Published: December 2021

Introduction: Around 50-70% of pregnant women have reported pregnancy-related back pain during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. Physical and physiological aspects during pregnancy might affect the quality of life (QoL) of pregnant women, and the problems due to the alteration can be seen in how they run their daily activities. The effect of LBP in pregnancy on the QoL among pregnant women must be known to avoid the pain that affects pregnant women’s activities and well-being. The aim of this study is to review the relationship between low back pain and the QoL during pregnancy.Methods: Using the search terms via PubMed and Google Scholar, seven cross-sectional studies have met the inclusion criteria and included for further analysis. The appraisal tool for Cross-Sectional Studies (AXIS) is used to assess the quality of the included studies including the risk of bias.Results: The findings show that LBP in pregnancy affects the level of quality of life such as sleep quality and sexual activity, limits the activities and productivities, and even make physical disability among pregnant women. The 75-90% was of the range score obtained from the AXIS critical appraisal.Conclusions: This review mentioned those pregnant women with PRBP had decreased QoL during and after childbirth, so the awareness of health professionals needs to be improved.
A Qualitative Inquiry into Rural Primary Schooler's Hygiene during the Covid-19 Pandemic in Kupang regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia
Authors: Nayoan Christina Rony , Kiling Indra Yohanes
Published: December 2021

Introduction: The importance of personal hygiene in preventing the spread of infection cannot be underestimated. Handwashing is an essential aspect of personal hygiene, especially among children. This study aimed to explore primary school students' hygiene in rural and remote areas in the Kupang regency. Methods: This study was conducted as a part of the end line evaluation of the MEMBACA II project. Teachers from four primary schools in three villages were purposively selected to participate in this study. The teachers were recruited from the participant schools of the MEMBACA II Project. Data was collected using phone interviews. Data were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis. Results: In total, there were 31 participants across four primary schools interviewed. The participants consisted of teachers, village leaders, village reading camp facilitators, and school supervisors. Participants were recruited as a proxy for providing information about students' hygiene. There were three themes identified as a result of the data analysis. The first theme is an improvement in children’s hygiene behavior. The second theme is the benefit of the little doctor program in children’s hygiene practices. The third theme challenges in children’s hygiene promotion and education. Overall, children were used to handwashing practices. They understood the importance of handwashing, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. They were also aware of four essential times of handwashing. However, the adults perceived the need for handwashing equipment and access to clean water were the main challenges to maintaining students' hygiene. Conclusion: The study demonstrated the significance of regularly teaching children about handwashing in making handwashing habits among these youngsters. A continuing provision of health literacy and access to clean water is required to maintain hygiene behavior
Northern Soulscapes: Writing through Brexit in the work of Gerald Dawe, Angela Graham and Dara McAnulty
Authors: Ferguson Frank
Published: December 2021

At a time of when the global crises of pandemic and climate change could be said to offer sufficient challenges to life in the British and Irish Isles, the implementation of Brexit provides a further gargantuan difficulty. Borders, bureaucracies and belief systems dissolve like the certainty that subjects once felt to their connection to states or Unions. Or new borders and systems appear, bringing with them unwieldy new protocols and practices. Shelves empty, goods sit locked in containers; caught up in the holding pattern of another new normal of online retail inertia. Dislocation, fear and anger rise. The epicentre of the Brexit shambles can be said to be located in the ever betwixt and between location of Northern Ireland. Here with its newly imposed sea border with Great Britain and its maintenance of European Union relations with the Republic of Ireland we see a fractured and fractious society struggling as ever to come to terms with how to balance the aspiration of opposing ideologies and national ambitions with an additional level of chaos. In a time of catastrophe what can literature do? This question, often posed during “The Troubles” has very much come back to be painfully reiterated to writers, readers and critics at a time of multiple lockdowns. However, if an examination is made of publishing in Ireland in the last couple of years, we see a buoyant press offering a number of intriguing responses to the significance and efficacy of literature to respond to the current human predicament. In this article I will examine the work of three contemporary writers, Gerald Dawe, Angela Graham, and Dara McAnulty. I will argue that their use of genre (memoir, short story, nature diary) provides a fresh and robust response to the chaotic present of Northern Irish political life. In their separate ways they contest the fixed, static and impermeable political echo chamber of Northern Ireland. Dawe, I contend, seeks a means through his autobiographical work to retrace time and space in the history of the province and articulate alternative ways of interpreting the past. He is able to draw sustenance and restoration from often overlooked times of possibility in his own and the wider story of Belfast. In Graham’s case, I would suggest that her bold and assertive first collection of short stories provides an acerbic and raw inspection of the past but one that also provides glimpses of reconciliation and genuine hope in the face of trauma. I conclude by exploring the work of McAnulty. Ostensibly a diary that traces his engagements with nature, his book is a tour de force that reimagines Ireland as a location gripped in the ravages of the Anthropocene startlingly brought to life by a young man faced with the challenges of autism. Part memoir, part praise poem to nature, it is a remarkable coming of age non-fiction work, which along with Dawe’s and Graham’s writing suggests that Northern Irish literature offers a broad and brilliant retort to the current local and global calamities that we face.
From Unparalleled “Greatness” to Predictable Insularity. A Composite Sketch of “Warped Britishness” as Drawn in Selected Works of Contemporary English Fiction
Authors: Bartnik Ryszard
Published: December 2021

Brexit, as seen from the present perspective, is seemingly a success story. Taking into account a myriad of voices expressed in the public domain over the past few years, it is legitimate to make a cautious claim that some of the expectations people shared before/during the referendum have been inflated and deflated in the post-plebiscite reality. In 2016, across the majority that voted for the divorce, a growing consensus on the soundness and solidity of pro-Leave arguments about Britain being in crisis was seen. The proponents of change had endorsed the policy of restoring a sense of national dignity. That mode of reasoning, though still present within current “British” mindsets, has been confronted with the “unplanned” turbulence of national (re) adjustment. The whole process of bidding farewell to the European Union has led to sentiments of uncertainty/anxiety/regret, rather than to the anticipated sense of satisfaction/relief. Therefore, it seems both vital and interesting to juxtapose the passion about restoring people’s trust in Britishness/Englishness, and its “exceptionality” with more sobering projections of a new post-Brexit world. In order to discuss the consequences of this self-inflicted condition, I will here elaborate on selected English literary texts. They feature authors who draw conclusions running parallel to Anderson’s assumptions that in times of crisis a general predilection for self-deluding (re)constructions of collective identity can be observed, which are variously expressed in a merely referential, subversive or satirical manner.
Are We In This Together?: The Polarisation of the British Society and the Marginalisation of Otherness in Ali Smith’s Seasonal Quartet
Authors: Dobrogoszcz Tomasz
Published: December 2021

Ali Smith’s seasonal quartet—Autumn, Winter, Spring, Summer—was written and published at lightning speed, between the 2016 Brexit referendum and Britain’s effective departure from the EU in 2020. The article examines how the novels engage with the issue of Brexit, as they become the chronicle of a grinding cultural process and critically confront the transformation of the British nation. I survey various psychological factors related to the polarisation of the British nation and investigate Smith’s presentation of the way in which the populist propaganda of menace produced by the right-wing media leads to marginalising Otherness. Employing the nomadic theory of the subject developed by Rosi Braidotti, I analyse Smith’s literary strategies used to represent not only post-truth manipulation and institutionalised British xenophobia, but also the actions of people who resist them.
Ziemia rolnicza jako dobro publiczne – stanowisko austriackiej szkoły ekonomii
Authors: Maśniak Jacek , Daniłowska Alina , Chądrzyński Mariusz , Gruziel Kinga
Published: December 2021

Kategoria dóbr publicznych jest jednym z fundamentalnych elementów koncepcji zawodności rynku i jednocześnie jednym z argumentów uzasadniających interwencję ze strony państwa. Zwolennicy tego podejścia podkreślają specyfikę ziemi i jej duże znaczenie w kształtowaniu zrównoważonego rozwoju gospodarczego. Celem artykułu jest przedstawianie krytycznego stanowiska wobec koncepcji ziemi rolniczej jako dobra publicznego. Przyjęto założenie, że teoria dóbr publicznych jako naukowe uzasadnienie interwencjonizmu państwowego w rolnictwie, w tym również na rynku ziemi rolniczej, ma dużo bardziej polemiczny charakter, niż jest to przedstawiane w głównym nurcie badań. Jako alternatywne podejście do badania kwestii ziemi rolniczej zaprezentowane zostało stanowisko austriackiej szkoły ekonomii. Praca ma charakter teoretyczny. W analizie wykorzystano wnioskowanie dedukcyjne i logikę w postaci werbalnej. Przeprowadzona analiza problemu wskazała, że według kryteriów stosowanych w teorii dóbr publicznych ziemia rolnicza jest typowym dobrem prywatnym. Dyskusyjna jest natomiast kwestia takich dóbr integralnie z ziemią związanych, jak krajobraz rolniczy i jakość środowiska naturalnego. Jednak specyfika tych dóbr nie musi prowadzić do wniosku, że interwencja państwa jest konieczna. Przeciwko interwencji państwa przemawiają takie względy, jak: brak możliwości obiektywnej identyfikacji potrzeb społecznych, polityczny i redystrybucyjny charakter interwencjonizmu państwowego, istnienie rynkowych mechanizmów finansowania dóbr publicznych.
Perception of environmental insurance risk vs. implementation of control measures in organizations managed according to ISO 14001:2015 in Poland
Authors: Lemkowska Malwina
Published: December 2021

The numerous studies of risk perception to date have been focused on three different areas of the subject. Firstly, researchers have aimed at the identification of risk perception determinants, secondly, they have created recommendations on how to communicate the risk to society, and finally they have analysed the relationships between risk perception measures and the means of risk control implemented in organizations. The last indicated research area is complemented by the following paper. On the basis of data derived from online interviews it was concluded that the higher the assessment of the measures of environmental insurance risk perception, the more frequently organizations implemented selected means of risk control in the environmental management system according to ISO 14001 (EMS ISO 14001). The largest number of statistically significant dependencies were observed in the area of variables which describe the informative potential of EMS ISO 14001 (informative potential variables) and those which directly determine the volume of environmental insurance risk (the volume of risk variables). Simultaneously, not all categories of risk perception measures are equally related to the frequency of risk control means implementation. A particularly large number of statistically significant correlations were identified for the following variable: the evaluation of the likelihood of the occurrence of environmental damage.
Postprawdziwa polityka klimatyczna Donalda Trumpa
Authors: Płachciak Adam
Published: December 2021

Celem artykułu jest próba ukazania antyklimatycznej retoryki Donalda Trumpa jako postprawdy politycznej, dla której fakty w kształtowaniu opinii społecznej posiadają mniejsze znaczenie niż odwoływanie się do emocji i osobistych przekonań. Poglądy Trumpa na temat „globalnego ocieplenia”, funkcjonujące szczególnie w ich medialnej popularyzacji, mają istotny związek zachodzący między produkcją i dystrybucją dyskursu politycznego amerykańskiego prezydenta a sposobem sprawowania przez niego władzy. Podstawą podjętych rozważań była wypracowana na gruncie krytycznej analizy dyskursu perspektywa badawcza.
Postępowanie dowodowe na rozprawie głównej bez udziału oskarżonego w świetle art. 378a Kodeksu postępowania karnego a standardy rzetelnego procesu
Authors: Badowiec Renata
Published: December 2021

Celem artykułu jest przestudiowanie nowej regulacji, tj. przepisu art. 378a k.p.k., wprowadzonego nowelizacją z 19 lipca 2019 r., w kontekście standardów rzetelnego procesu. Prawo do obrony, które jest także elementem standardu rzetelnego procesu, przysługuje każdemu od chwili wszczęcia przeciwko niemu postępowania karnego aż do wydania prawomocnego wyroku. Istotne jest, że prawo do obrony musi być zagwarantowane proceduralnie po to, aby miało charakter realny i efektywny. W opracowaniu powołane i omówione zostały standardy: konstytucyjny, unijny oraz strasburski, a następnie na ich podstawie przeanalizowano treść art. 378a k.p.k. Rozważania prowadzą do wniosku, że przewidziana w art. 378a k.p.k. możliwość przeprowadzenia czynności dowodowych podczas usprawiedliwionej nieobecności oskarżonego lub jego obrońcy jest nie do pogodzenia z obecnie obowiązującymi standardami rzetelnego procesu.
Elements of Social Engineering Methodology Used During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Trukhachov Oleksandr
Published: December 2021

The article focuses on elements of social engineering (SI) that could be used by the states in their own interests during the COVID-19 pandemic. These elements were used to form negative public opinion, change the political landscape, and reduce citizens’ trust in their own governments. These elements are influence and persuasion. Traditional media and social networks play a major role in the use of these SI elements. SI has a long history of theoretical study as a scientific phenomenon. Practical elements of SI have a large arsenal, from government tools to influencing individuals. The article aims to demonstrate using SI elements, influence, and persuasion by the interested states and governments to obtain certain preferences for both foreign and domestic policies.
