Authors: Saad Ehsan S. S. , Ahmed Faten M.
Published: April 2021

Context: Emotional stability is the process in which the personality is continuously striving for a greater sense of emotional health. Job crafting and can be seen as a specific form of proactive behavior in which the nurse initiates changes (redesign) in the level of job demands and job resources to make their job more meaningful. Nurses with high emotional stability are more tending to adapt to changes in their job and enhance their job crafting.

Aim: This study aimed to assess the emotional stability of nurses and their relation to their job crafting.    

Methods: The study was conducted at the Psychiatric Mental Health Hospital in Benha city, Qalubia governorate, Egypt. A convenient sample of 100 nurses working in the setting mentioned above. A descriptive correlational design utilized to achieve the aim of the study. Two tools used for data collection, namely; Emotional Stability Assessment Questionnaire and Job Crafting Assessment Scale.

Results: The results reveal that near to two thirds (63%) of the studied nurses had a moderate level of emotional stability, and near to half (48%) of the studied nurses reported a low level of job crafting.

Conclusion: The study concluded that there was a positive, highly statistically significant correlation between the emotional stability of the studied nurses and their job crafting. Recommendation: Conduction of further studies in order to assess the relationship between emotional stability and job crafting with replication of this study on a larger probability sample from different geographical locations at the Arab Republic of Egypt. In addition to the establishment of a training program about emotional stability for nurses as needed, particularly those working under a stressful situation like the psychiatric mental health nurses and identify the needed corrective actions. Hospital administrators and nursing decision-makers should encourage the conduction of workshops regarding job crafting for nurses.

High levels of anxiety and psychological well-being in college students: A dual factor model of mental health approach
Authors: Carver Katherine , Ismail Hajar , Reed Christopher , Hayes Justin , Alsaif Haifa , Villanueva Marisa , Sass Sarah
Published: April 2021

Anxiety disorders are prevalent among college students and contribute to problems in social and academic functioning. The primary focus in the anxiety literature has been on symptoms and deficits in functioning rather than psychological well-being. The present study investigated the extent to which high levels of anxiety co-occurred with self-reported psychological well-being using a dual-factor model of mental health approach. Participants (n = 100) were categorized into two groups (high anxiety crossed with low and high life satisfaction), and groups were compared on several psychological well-being indicators. Supporting a dual-factor approach, students reporting high levels of anxiety and life satisfaction reported higher levels of hope, grit, gratitude, self-focused positive rumination, and savoring of positive emotions than students reporting high levels of anxiety and low levels of life satisfaction. Groups did not differ in emotion-focused positive rumination or in dampening of positive emotion. These results highlight well-being heterogeneity within individuals reporting high levels of anxiety, with implications for treatment and prevention efforts.
The idea of creating the position “clinical nurse”:
what do the medical professionals think about this?
Authors: Alikperova Natalya V. , Vinogradova Kristina V.
Published: April 2021

Introduction. The division of nursing staff into procedural, post and dressing personnel has long been fixed in the system of medical positions. Their work dictates the execution of highly specialized manipulations. Such a system of job responsibilities is transparent and understandable for medical personnel and patients. But in recent years, there has been a tendency to generalize labor functions and consolidate nursing specializations. In this regard, a special role is played by studies related to the identification of the attitude of medical personnel to this reform. Purpose of the study. Identification of the attitude of medical personnel to the idea of introducing the position of “clinical nurse“. Methodology. Sociological research using the quantitative method (mass questionnaire survey of nurses and doctors of medical organizations). Results. Based on the systematization of the information obtained by the authors in the course of the study, the main positive and negative aspects of the introduction of a new position in the health care system are identified. Discussion. Subject to the introduction of the new position of “clinical nurse“, its functionality should be fixed in educational programs along with the new functionality
of nurses. And not only when training nurses, but also their colleagues, doctors. In practice, the interaction of medical specialists should be built accordingly. Conclusion. The collected and systematized opinions of the respondents interviewed in the course of the study are valuable material for formulating recommendations for implementing the idea of creating a “clinical nurse“ position.

Supraventricular Tachycardia in Pregnancy
Authors: Prabhu Gauri , SR Shubha , Bellad M.B. , Metugud Shridevi
Published: April 2021

The commonest arrhythmia in women of reproductive age, is
paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). We present a
rare case of SVT who presented for the first time during
pregnancy, who failed to respond to Electrical
cardioversion(ECV), but reverted back to sinus rhythm by
secondline pharmacotherapy.
PROCEDURE:
A 22 year old primigravidapresented at 37weeks in labour with
complaints of breathlessness and severe palpitations when she
was diagnosed to have supraventricular tachycardia(SVT) on
ECG and was referred to a tertiary care centre for further
management.Pharmacological cardioversion was attempted
with intravenous diltiazem, but in vain. Decision was taken for
electrical cardioversion with synchronized DC shocks of 50
joules and 100 joules successively, but was not successful too.
As a last resort, bolus of intravenous Amiodarone 150 mg was
given over 10 minutes followed by infusion at the rate of 24
mg per hour(2ml/hr), which finally brought down the heart
rate to 98bpm. In view of non-reassuring fetal heart rate
observed on CTG, patient was taken up for an emergency
caesarean section under epidural anaesthesia with grave risk
consent and shifted to ICCU post-operatively.
RESULT:
Patient delivered a male baby of birth weight 2.35kg. Patient
tolerated the surgery well and did not experience any episodes
of PSVT throughout the intra-operative period. Postoperatively
patient was managed in consultation with cardiologist.
Amiodarone infusion was continued for 24 hours at 24mg/
hour. Post-operative period was uneventful, patient was started
on oral anti arrhythmic medications and discharged on the
same.
CONCLUSION :
Accurate diagnosis, regular follow up and multidisciplinary
approach during acute episode and during delivery can prevent
life threatening risks that might be posed to the mother and
fetus in a case of PSVT. Treatment options include
nonpharmacological therapy, followed by adenosine and other
drugs if required, and lastly electrical cardioversion

Authors: Benchea Laura , Clement Alexandra , Nedelcu Alina-Elena , Statescu Cristian
Published: April 2021

Hypereosinophilic syndrome encompasses a heterogenous group of non-hematologic and hematologic disorders defined as peripheral blood eosinophilia >1500/mm3 persisting more than 6 months and eosinophilic end organ complications1,2. Löeffler endocarditis (LE) is the most common cardiac manifestation of the hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) and represents an acute form of primary restrictive cardiomyopathy3. We report the case of a 74 years-old woman with symptoms related to congestive heart failure and weight loss. At admission the patient had tachycardia and a grade 2/6 systolic mitral murmur. Laboratory findings revealed eosinophilia, hepatocytolysis syndrome and dyslipidemia. The electrocardiogram (ECG) showed non-specific ST-segment and T wave abnormalities. The echocardiography revealed left ventricular apical thrombus and entrapment of chordae tendineae with restricted motion of mitral leaflets leading to mitral regurgitation. The diagnosis of myocarditis was confirmed by the cardiac magnetic resonance imaging which showed the presence of a left ventricular mass with low signal on steady-state free precession imaging and diffuse circumferential subendocardial late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). When discussing the etiology of the HES the following were taken into consideration: hematologic, reactive or secondary disorders. This case is distinguished by diagnosis in an elderly woman and good response to corticosteroid therapy.
Weathering the Economic Impact of COVID-19: Challenges Faced by Microentrepreneurs and Their Coping Strategies during Movement Control Order (MCO) in Malaysia
Authors: Megat Tajudin Putri Noorafedah , Abd Rahim Nur Aira , Idris Khairuddin , Arshad Mohd Mursyid
Published: April 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic is a global crisis that has caused a punishing economic impact on businesses, particularly due to many countries adopting measures such as the Movement Control Order (MCO) to curb the spread of the COVID-19 disease. The impact hits the most on microentrepreneurs since they are not able to operate their businesses, of which the margins of profit and resources are relatively small. The purpose of this research was to explore the challenges faced by microentrepreneurs during MCO and their coping strategies used to overcome these challenges. This study utilized the qualitative case study approach and collected interview data among the identified microentrepreneurs that met the criterion sampling. The findings uncover that these microentrepreneurs typically faced challenges related to restricted cash flows, lack of customers and supplies shortage issues which impacted their income and business operations during MCO. These challenges were addressed using coping strategies, namely having the ability to control stress, developing a strong spiritual relationship with God, applying problem solving thinking skills, utilizing social capital (offline and online), and optimizing digital marketing. It is recommended that government agencies, NGOs, and social movement bodies contribute to microentrepreneurs by organising and engaging in digital empowerment programs to enable rural entrepreneurs to leverage on their access to digital commerce, internet marketing and alike.
Exploring Pre-University Students’ Construction of Reasoned Argumentation during Computer - Supported Collaborative Discussions Using Sequential Analysis
Authors: Selvam Pavithra Panir , Ma’rof Aini Marina
Published: April 2021

The prominent role of reasoning skills in predicting academic outcomes is clearly evident over the years in that its inculcation in various face-to-face learning contexts has become progressively dominant, including in the collaborative learning (CL) settings. The pandemic crisis, however, challenged traditional learning approaches to shift to an online mode overnight resulting in dramatic changes of learning delivery whereby teaching is undertaken remotely and on digital platforms. Though impact of CL-based approaches in promoting reasoning skills have been well-documented over the years, a systematic analysis of learners’ behavioural patterns of argumentation and reasoning in a virtual collaborative learning environment is yet to be concretely established. The current study therefore sought to investigate the development of reasoned argumentation skills among pre- university students with mixed language abilities, using open-ending short stories via a computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) environment. Adopting the case study research design by applying a mixed-methods approach through both descriptive and sequential analyses, 12 pre-university students from a public research university served as participants of this study. The results show that language ability has a strong predictive factor on reasoned argumentation skills and there is an established tendency of the participants to produce constructive arguments over defensive or challenging viewpoints to alternative ideas. This calls for future studies to further investigate predictive factors of this tendency and to further ascertain the predictive role of language-rich discussions in facilitating various higher order thinking skills among learners.
Was Esarhaddon Considered to Be a God?
Authors: Nowicki Stefan
Published: April 2021

The aim of this article is to present the actions of Ik-Tešub, a king of Šubria at the time of Esarhaddon’s invasion, and to explain them as ritual countermeasures. Unlike earlier interpretations, which focused on a scapegoat ritual, a simple substitute ritual or a symbolic act of surrender, my proposal is to interpret the behaviour of the Šubrian ruler as a substitute king ritual based not on Mesopotamian but Hittite magical traditions. Moreover, the shape of this particular ritual might indicate that Esarhaddon was seen not only as the powerful king and governor of Aššur but in fact also as the god of plague himself.

Modeling bus bunching and anti-bunching control accounting for signal control and passenger swapping behavior
Authors: Xin Qi , Fu Rui , Yu Shaowei , Ukkusuri Satish , Jiang Rui
Published: April 2021

The conventional bus propagation process has two main shortcomings: one is bus bunching, the other is extra energy consumption by idling at signalized intersection and unexpected speed variation along the route. To overcome these problems simultaneously, an extended bus propagation model and an anti-bunching control are proposed. To extend the time-based bus propagation model, we employ finite state machine and intelligent driver model to establish a spatial-temporal based bus propagation model accounting for bus dynamic motion and passenger swapping behavior between bunching buses. To mitigate bus bunching and improve bus fuel economy in a cyber-traffic environment, an anticipated average speed planning is employed to improve headway regularity and reduce the chance of encountering red light, and then model predictive control accounting for state and control constraints is used to generate a smooth speed trajectory for connected bus to follow the commands given by anticipated average speed planning, which will in turn ensure that all the connected buses traverse signalized intersection and approach downstream stop in ecological driving behaviors. Numerical simulations show that the proposed model can imitate passenger swapping behavior when bus bunching occurs, and the anti-bunching control is suitable to mitigate bus bunching and guide connected bus to traverse signalized intersection and reach downstream stop with fewer delays.

Authors: Ho, MD Nhi , Dixit, MD, MPH Anjali A. , Inglis-Arkell, MD Christina , Manuel, MD Solmaz P.
Published: April 2021

Objective: This study sought to determine the rate at which nonopioid analgesics were utilized in postoperative pain management plans after pediatric ambulatory surgery in patients who were also prescribed postoperative opioids.Design: Retrospective cohort analysis.Participants: Patients ≤ 21 years old who were prescribed opioid medications after undergoing ambulatory surgery at a tertiary-care medical center. Methods: Postoperative day 1 (POD1) opioid prescription and use survey data along with electronic medical record data were extracted and analyzed for patients meeting inclusion criteria between April 2017 and December 2017. Main outcome measure: Recommendation to take nonopioid analgesics after discharge.Results: A total of 849 (63.2 percent) patients responded to the survey and 275 (32.4 percent) of these cases were prescribed postoperative opioids. Of the 273 cases included in this study, 137 (50.2 percent) received recommendations to take at least one nonopioid analgesic as well, and 164 (60.1 percent) reported using their prescribed opioids on POD1. Opioid use did not vary significantly with nonopioid analgesic recommendations. There was significant variability in opioid and nonopioid analgesic prescribing and recommendation patterns across surgical subspecialties.Conclusions: There was limited use of nonopioid analgesics in postoperative pain management plans after pediatric ambulatory surgery. This leaves many patients with only opioid-based agents as the first-line medication for postoperative pain management. These findings highlight an opportunity to educate prescribers and patients on the importance of step-wise multimodal analgesic plans.

Published: April 2021

La «gamificación», aplicada a la educación, puede afectar positivamente a la motivación e implicación del alumnado, si bien aún existen pocas investigaciones que respalden sus bondades y marquen pautas sobre cómo realizar este proceso. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo generar hipótesis dirigidas a facilitar el diseño de un futuro estudio piloto en el ámbito de la educación superior en modalidad e-learning. Para ello, se estudiaron factores relacionados con el alumnado y el profesorado del Máster de Educación y Nuevas Tecnologías de la Universidad a Distancia de Madrid (UDIMA). La metodología utilizada combina aspectos cualitativos y cuantitativos con una finalidad descriptiva y exploratoria. Para la obtención de datos se utilizaron dos cuestionarios on-line diferentes para el profesorado y el alumnado, incluyéndose en este último una traducción del test BrainHex. A partir de los datos y de la revisión de la literatura existente se generan conclusiones acerca de la aceptación del alumnado y del profesorado respecto a la introducción de la gamificación en la formación, sobre qué tipo de elementos de gamificación son más adecuados para su uso en el contexto de la UDIMA y a la motivación de qué aspectos o conductas deberían dirigirse para su éxito.

В статье обобщены материалы широко известных зарубежных и отечественных ученых и экспертов в области прикладной науки «менеджмент качества» по результатам их многолетних исследований (более 30 лет) проблемы влияния различных факторов внешней среды на результативность функционирования, управления, поддержки и улучшения систем менеджмента качества (СМК) различных организаций, разработанных на основе требований международных стандартов (МС) ISO серии 9000. Установлено, что за последние 10 лет наблюдается устойчивая тенденция снижения уровня мирового рынка услуг по сертификации СМК во всех сферах и отраслях общественного производства и услуг. Многие компании отказываются от сертификации из-за высокой его стоимости и повышения интенсивности работы с документированной информацией. Аналогичная тенденция падения интереса потребителя к стандартам ISO серии 9000 имеет место и в Казахстане. Так, по наблюдениям авторов статьи в стране количество сертифицированных предприятий по МС ISO на сегодня по сравнению с 2010 годом уменьшилось в два раза. Сделан вывод, что решение проблемы кроется в осознании высшим руководством предприятия, того факта, что дорога к качеству сложна, терниста, бесконечна и нацелена на перманентное улучшение механизмов ведущих к устойчивому развитию и доминированию на рынке на основе МС ISO серии 9000.

Финансовая политика играет ключевую роль в организации деятельности любого государства. Она является частью социально-экономической политики государства по обеспечению сбалансированного роста финансовых ресурсов во всех звеньях финансовой системы страны. Определяющим значение финансовой политики государства является системная организация финансов с учетом действия экономических законов и в соответствии с целями развития общества. Следует отметить, что государством разрабатываются множество видов политик, начиная с экономической, социальной и заканчивая технологической, инновационной, внутренней, внешней. Для реализации любых видов политик требуется аккумулирование соответствующих денежных средств, накоплений, своевременность их формирования и использования, требует разработки и реализации качественной и дееспособной финансовой политики. Поэтому финансовая политика играет приоритетную роль в организации и регулировании общественной жизни всего государства.

Abstract. Recently, there has been increasing interest in the relation between particulate matter (PM) pollution and atmospheric-boundary-layer (ABL) structure. This study aimed to qualitatively assess the interaction between PM and ABL structure in essence and further quantitatively estimate
aerosol radiative forcing (ARF) effects on the ABL structure. Multi-period
comparative analysis indicated that the key to determining whether haze
outbreak or dissipation occurs is whether the ABL structure satisfies the
relevant conditions. However, the ABL structure change was in turn highly
related to the PM level and ARF. |SFC−ATM| (SFC and ATM are
the ARFs at the surface and interior of the atmospheric column,
respectively) is the absolute difference between ground and atmosphere layer ARFs, and the |SFC−ATM| change is linearly related to the PM concentrations. However, the influence of ARF on the boundary layer
structure is nonlinear. With increasing |SFC−ATM|, the turbulence
kinetic energy (TKE)
level exponentially decreased, which was notable in the lower layers or ABL, but disappeared at high altitudes or above the ABL. Moreover, the ARF effects
threshold on the ABL structure was determined for the first time, namely
once |SFC−ATM| exceeded ∼55 W m−2, the ABL structure tends to quickly stabilize and thereafter change little
with increasing ARF. The threshold of the ARF effects on the boundary layer
structure could provide useful information for relevant atmospheric-environment improvement measures and policies, such as formulating phased
air pollution control objectives.

Abstract. The rate of production of HONO from illuminated TiO2 aerosols in the
presence of NO2 was measured using an aerosol flow tube system coupled
to a photo-fragmentation laser-induced fluorescence detection apparatus. The
reactive uptake coefficient of NO2 to form HONO, γNO2→HONO, was determined for NO2 mixing ratios in the range 34–400 ppb, with γNO2→HONO spanning the range (9.97 ± 3.52) × 10−6 to (1.26 ± 0.17) × 10−4 at a
relative humidity of 15 ± 1 % and for a lamp photon flux of (1.63 ± 0.09) ×1016 photons cm−2 s−1 (integrated
between 290 and 400 nm), which is similar to midday ambient actinic flux
values. γNO2→HONO increased as a function of NO2
mixing ratio at low NO2 before peaking at (1.26 ± 0.17) ×10-4 at ∼ 51 ppb NO2 and then sharply decreasing
at higher NO2 mixing ratios rather than levelling off, which would be
indicative of surface saturation. The dependence of HONO production on
relative humidity was also investigated, with a peak in production of HONO
from TiO2 aerosol surfaces found at ∼ 25 % RH.
Possible mechanisms consistent with the observed trends in both the HONO
production and reactive uptake coefficient were investigated using a
zero-dimensional kinetic box model. The modelling studies supported a
mechanism for HONO production on the aerosol surface involving two molecules
of NO2, as well as a surface HONO loss mechanism which is dependent
upon NO2. In a separate experiment, significant production of HONO was
observed from illumination of mixed nitrate/TiO2 aerosols in the
absence of NO2. However, no production of HONO was seen from the
illumination of nitrate aerosols alone. The rate of production of HONO
observed from mixed nitrate/TiO2 aerosols was scaled to ambient
conditions found at the Cape Verde Atmospheric Observatory (CVAO) in the
remote tropical marine boundary layer. The rate of HONO production from
aerosol particulate nitrate photolysis containing a photocatalyst was found
to be similar to the missing HONO production rate necessary to reproduce
observed concentrations of HONO at CVAO. These results provide evidence that
particulate nitrate photolysis may have a significant impact on the
production of HONO and hence NOx in the marine boundary layer where
mixed aerosols containing nitrate and a photocatalytic species such as
TiO2, as found in dust, are present.

Abstract. In the frame of the EMEP/ACTRIS/COLOSSAL campaign in Milan during winter 2018, equivalent black carbon measurements using the Aethalometer 31 (AE31), the Aethalometer 33 (AE33), and a Multi-Angle Absorption Photometer (MAAP) were carried out together with levoglucosan analyses on 12 h resolved PM2.5 samples collected in parallel. From AE31 and AE33 data, the loading-corrected aerosol attenuation coefficients (bATN) were calculated at seven wavelengths (λ, where λ values are 370, 470, 520, 590, 660, 880, and 950 nm). The aerosol absorption coefficient at 637 nm (babs_MAAP) was determined by MAAP measurements. Furthermore, babs was also measured at four wavelengths (405, 532, 635, 780 nm) on the 12 h resolved PM2.5 samples by a polar photometer (PP_UniMI). After comparing PP_UniMI and MAAP results, we exploited PP_UniMI data to evaluate the filter multiple-scattering enhancement parameter at different wavelengths for AE31 and AE33. We obtained instrument- and wavelength-dependent multiple-scattering enhancement parameters by linear regression of the Aethalometer bATN against the babs measured by PP_UniMI. We found significant dependence of the multiple-scattering enhancement parameter on filter material, hence on the instrument, with a difference of up to 30 % between the AE31 and the AE33 tapes. The wavelength dependence and day–night variations were small – the difference between the smallest and largest value was up to 6 %. Data from the different instruments were used as input to the so-called “Aethalometer model” for optical source apportionment, and instrument dependence of the results was investigated. Inconsistencies among the source apportionment were found fixing the AE31 and AE33 multiple-scattering enhancement parameters to their usual values. In contrast, optimised multiple-scattering enhancement parameters led to a 5 % agreement among the approaches. Also, the component apportionment “MWAA model” (Multi-Wavelength Absorption Analyzer model) was applied to the dataset. It was less sensitive to the instrument and the number of wavelengths, whereas significant differences in the determination of the absorption Ångström exponent for brown carbon were found (up to 22 %).
