Published: September 2020

BACKGROUND

Evidence relating to long-term outcomes of online education programs is largely lacking and head-to-head comparisons of different delivery formats are very rare.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of the study was to test whether eLearning Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) or blended training (eLearning plus face-to-face course delivery) implemented in an Australian public sector workplace were more effective than a control intervention at 1-year and 2-year follow-up, and whether blended MHFA training was more effective than eLearning alone.

METHODS

Australian public servants (n=608 at baseline) were randomly assigned to complete an eLearning MHFA course, a blended MHFA course or Red Cross eLearning Provide First Aid (PFA) (the control) and completed online questionnaires pre- and post-training and one year and two years later. The questionnaires were based on vignettes describing a person with depression or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Primary outcomes were mental health first aid knowledge, desire for social distance and quality of support provided to a person in the workplace. Secondary outcomes were recognition of mental health problems, beliefs about treatment, helping intentions and confidence, personal stigma, quality of support provided to a person outside the workplace, self-reported professional help seeking and psychological distress.

RESULTS

At 1-year follow-up, both eLearning and blended courses produced greater improvements than PFA training in knowledge, confidence and intentions to help a person with depression or PTSD, beliefs about dangerousness and desire for social distance. At 2-year follow-up, some of these improvements were maintained, particularly those relating to knowledge and intentions to help someone with PTSD. When eLearning and blended courses were compared at 1-year follow-up, the blended course led to greater improvements in knowledge and in confidence and intentions to help a person with depression. At 2-year follow-up, improvements in the quality of help provided to a person with a mental health problem outside the workplace were greater in participants in the blended course.

CONCLUSIONS

Both blended and eLearning MHFA courses led to significant longer-term improvements in knowledge, attitudes and intentions to help a person with a mental health problem. Blended MHFA training led to an improvement in the quality of helping behaviours and appears to be more effective than online training alone.

Polarized Dermoscopy Facilitates Diagnosis and Treatment of Plantar Pseudohirsutism
Authors: Naimer Sody
Published: September 2020

Background. Plantar cutaneous conditions are the most common causes of foot discomfort limiting ambulation. Identification of indwelling foreign bodies is greatly facilitated by dermoscopy, allowing early detection of the character of the underlying pathological etiology. Furthermore, polarized dermoscopy provides ideal conditions of illumination and three- dimensional visualization of the involved site, without direct contact with the cutaneous surface. This unprecedented report describes its implementation for a solitary hair implanted into plantar skin.  Case Presentation. A patient presented with localized plantar discomfort diagnosed as a soft tissue reaction to an embedded single human hair, folded and rooted inside the epidermis. Under magnified vision the phenomenon was characterized, the hair was extracted, the source was manipulated with a hypodermic needle and the lesion was removed with ensuing complete resolution. Conclusions. Previous reports of hair slivers embedded inside the skin were attributed to barbers or animal grooming and the treatment was dictated by the severity of the complications. In this relatively mild case the intervention was greatly facilitated by therapeutic dermoscopy. Therapeutic dermoscopy is advocated for use to evaluate and treat many diverse body surfaces, especially the plantar skin as it raises the likelihood of successful treatment of embedded foreign bodies.  Precisely how a single hair may become lodged into normal plantar skin remains to be explained

Background and objectives

The kidney failure risk equation is a clinical tool commonly used for prediction of progression from CKD to kidney failure. The kidney failure risk equation’s accuracy in advanced CKD and whether this varies by CKD etiology remains unknown. This study examined the kidney failure risk equation’s discrimination and calibration at 2 and 5 years among a large tertiary care population with advanced CKD from heterogeneous etiologies.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

This retrospective cohort study included 1293 patients with advanced CKD (median eGFR 15 ml/min per 1.73 m2) referred to the Ottawa Hospital Multi-Care Kidney Clinic between 2010 and 2016, with follow-up clinical data available through 2018. Four-variable kidney failure risk equation scores for 2- and 5-year risks of progression to kidney failure (defined as dialysis or kidney transplantation) were calculated upon initial referral and correlated with the subsequent observed kidney failure incidence within these time frames. Receiver operating characteristic curves and calibration plots were used to measure the discrimination and calibration of the kidney failure risk equation both in the overall advanced CKD population and by CKD etiology: diabetic kidney disease, hypertensive nephrosclerosis, GN, polycystic kidney disease, and other. Pairwise comparisons of the receiver operating characteristic curves by CKD etiology were performed to compare kidney failure risk equation discrimination.

Results

The kidney failure risk equation provided adequate to excellent discrimination in identifying patients with CKD likely to progress to kidney failure at the 2- and 5-year time points both overall (2-year area under the curve, 0.83; 95% confidence interval, 0.81 to 0.85; 5-year area under the curve, 0.81; 95% confidence interval, 0.77 to 0.84) and across CKD etiologies. The kidney failure risk equation displayed adequate calibration at the 2- and 5-year time points both overall and across CKD etiologies (Hosmer–Lemeshow P≥0.05); however, the predicted risks of kidney failure were higher than the observed risks across CKD etiologies with the exception of polycystic kidney disease.

Conclusions

The kidney failure risk equation provides adequate discrimination and calibration in advanced CKD and across CKD etiologies.

Ginger is one type of medicinal plants and spice, which has been known by the Indonesian people. Usefulness of ginger suchas for seasoning, mixed food/drink, medicines and cosmetics. Ginger has a distinctive aroma due to essential oil content and a specific flavor that is spicy derived from oleoresin compounds. Consumption continuously is excellent for health. Ginger has a spicy flavor is difficult to fresh, it needs to be inovaded. In this research ginger is processed into jelly candy. Jelly candies require a gel-forming material to form a chewy texture. In this research, the gel-forming material is used in the Caragenan. The Caragenan is exported using a solution of KOH 10%. This research aims to determine the effect of ginger varieties against the brightness of jelly candies, antioxidants, flavors and aromas, knowing the influence of the addition. The research was conducted in two phases. The first phase of the extraction of carrageenan from seaweed Euchema cottoni used a solution of KOH 10%. Caragenan extract is further analyzed for yield, moisture content, viscosity and gel strength. The second stage was making ginger jelly candy production with difference of caragenan concentration using nest design (Nested). The parent factor of three varieties of ginger is ginger elephant, red ginger and ginger emprit, while the concentration of caragenan, 7 grams, 8 grams and 9 grams. The analyzed parameters were water content, water content, sugar reduction, antioxidant, texture, color , pH and organoleptic (texture, aroma, color and flavor). The results showed that three varietas of ginger affect the brightness of jelly sweets, antioxidants, flavors and aromas. Best was results obtained at the treatment of Ginger Javanese with the addition of a 9 g caragenan with 82.331% of antioxidant activity, 4.835 N of texture, 13.132% of water content, 4.9 (strong) of organoleptic Aroma, 4.5 (supple) of organoleptic texture, and 4.6 (spicy) of flavor.

Published: September 2020

Pasteurized milk defined as fresh cow milk that processed through the heating process with a temperature of 65°C. Generally, pasteurized aimed to prevent the damage of milk due to destructive microorganism (pathogen) activity and able to control nutrition quality. Indonesia banana production in 2016 approximately 7.45  106 t, but only 1.5  106 t were consumed. Banana mostly consumed as fresh fruit or processed as a chip or nugget. This indicated that banana is less treated for a food product. Therefore, the objective of this research was to define the optimum Ambon banana maturity and syrup concentration for producing best-pasteurized milk. This research consisted of two main stages consisted of banana syrup production, and followed by application into pasteurized milk. The nested design was applied, with the main factor was the Ambon banana maturity (115 d, 120 d, and 125 d after flowering), and the sub-factor was banana syrup concentration (5%, 10%, 15%) with three replications. There was a significant effect of banana maturity and syrup concentration on the fat content and aroma of pasteurized milk. In comparison, there was a significant effect of banana syrup on the total dissolved solids (TDS) and total plate count (TPC) of pasteurized milk. The best treatment was 125 d Ambon banana and 15% syrup concentration, with TDS 13.11 °Brix, TPC 8.1  104 CFU mL-1, fat 12.65 %, protein 19.08 %, aroma 3.9 (like), and taste 2.5 (simply delicious).

Published: September 2020

Background: Spinal surgical interventions are generally used in the treatment of various spinal pathologies such as vertebral fracture, luxation-subluxation, congenital vertebral deformities, discal hernia, infection and tumor. Minimally invasive spinal surgery contributes to rapid recovery by reducing iatrogenic muscle damage and postoperative pain. In minimally invasive spinal surgery, a new hybrid imaging technique, the exoscope, has been developed in the last decade The purpose of this study was to report efficacy of the exoscopic microdecompressive spinal surgery (MDSS) and its early postoperative electromyography (EMG) results in dogs.Materials, Methods & Results:The material of this study consisted of the owned 10 dogs with spinal cord injury resulted from the different etiologies. On the basis of examinations, medical support (fluid therapy, corticosteroid, etc.) was applied to the required dogs. Exoscopic MDSS was performed under general anesthesia in dogs. The neurologic, radiologic and EMG examination were completed at pre- and postoperative periods. EMG results at postoperative 1st week showed increased conduction velocity and amplitudes in 3 cases. There was no significant change in a case. And, there was a slight slowdown in conduction velocity and significant decrease in amplitudes in a case. At postoperative 4th week, ther was increased conduction velocity and amplitudes in 8 cases and needle EMG showed that spontan muscle activity was normal in 5 cases, mild in 2 cases, moderate a case and severe in a case. But spontan muscle activity was unfollowed in a case. Postoperative outcomes were poor in 3 cases, fair in 3 cases, good in 3 cases and unfollowed in a case. Discussion: Spinal cord injuries encountered in veterinary medicine have significant morbidity and mortality. In spinal patients, in addition to neurological examination, lesion localization can be determined using imaging techniques such as radiology, computed tomography, and MRI. EMG and somatosensory evoked potentials examinations are used to evaluate quantitative functional recovery, especially in spinal cord injuries. EMG also provides an opportunity to evaluate muscle activation patterns during recovery. Exoscopic spinal surgery is the newest hybrid imaging technique. Exoscopic MDSS facilitated manipulation by providing adequate illumination and vision at the exploration site. Exoscopic MDSS has the advantages of microscopic surgery and is a new technique that can be applied in dogs with spinal pathology.
A LEITURA DE EMOÇÕES NO LIVRO INFANTIL ILUSTRADO: PALAVRAS E IMAGENS
Authors: Andersen Elenice
Published: September 2020

Este artigo aborda a dimensão emocional da leitura do livro infantil ilustrado. Tem por objetivo propor, com base em evidências de estudos cognitivos sobre a leitura de narrativas de ficção, um olhar para o livro que valorize a experiência vicária da criança na interação com as emoções das personagens (MIALL, 1989; OATLEY, 2012), bem como o papel dessa experienciação no desenvolvimento da empatia (DJIKIC; OATLEY; MIHNEA, 2013). Por meio dos procedimentos metodológicos da Análise de Conteúdo (BARDIN, 1977), orientados pelas categorias de relações entre palavra e imagem, conforme Nikolaveja (2013), discute possibilidades de leitura de emoções em uma obra da literatura infantil nacional destinada ao leitor iniciante, analisando as representações construídas colaborativamente por escritor e ilustrador de como as personagens pensam e sentem. Conclui que a dimensão emocional é onipresente na leitura e, portanto, necessita de um tratamento didático que reconheça a indissociabilidade cognição-emoção (DAMÁSIO, 2012). Além disso, propõe que as narrativas ficcionais infantis ilustradas, além de contribuir para a alfabetização verbal e visual, oferecem uma fecunda possibilidade de leituras sobre si e sobre o outro, que podem favorecer o desenvolvimento de importantes habilidades socioemocionais na criança, como a empatia.
O PAPEL DA MULTIMODALIDADE NA AQUISIÇÃO DA LINGUAGEM DE CRIANÇAS PREMATURAS
Authors: Cunha Divany Guedes Pereira da , Freitas Fernanda Aparecida Ferreira de , Coêlho Julyane Feitoza
Published: September 2020

Esse artigo tem como objetivo apresentar considerações teóricas sobre o desenvolvimento da linguagem de crianças prematuras sob uma perspectiva multimodal. Os procedimentos metodológicos envolveram uma breve revisão da literatura de artigos científicos indexados em bases de dados nacionais e internacionais, livros, dissertações e teses sobre a temática pesquisada. Após a busca, leitura e seleção dos textos, os resultados foram divididos em: 1- Prematuridade, 2- Aquisição da Linguagem na perspectiva multimodal e 3- Linguagem, multimodalidade e prematuridade. Nas bases de dados pesquisadas foi observada a escassez de estudos que discutissem o desempenho linguístico de crianças prematuras, a partir da multimodalidade. Os estudos analisados demonstraram que as crianças nascidas mais precocemente tiveram um desempenho pior na linguagem do que as prematuras moderadas e tardias, além de lenta aquisição na produção de gestos, atrasos no léxico, pragmática, sendo os atrasos na fonologia e gramática menos difusos. Observou-se um risco de desenvolvimento pré-verbal e verbal menos favorável nos prematuros, e que o conhecimento era transmitido com menos frequência através da modalidade gestual falada bimodal nestas crianças. Podendo-se destacar também o papel dos gestos como um preditor significativo para habilidades de linguagem em crianças prematuras, associando-se positivamente ao desenvolvimento de habilidades lexicais e morfossintáticas. Percebe-se a relação existente entre aquisição da linguagem e multimodalidade em crianças prematuras, sendo relevantes as pesquisas voltadas para essa temática, assumindo a indissociabilidade envolvida na matriz gesto-fala. Diante do exposto, sugere-se mais estudos voltados para os aspectos multimodais e linguísticos da referida população, beneficiando o entendimento de como eles se revelam ou, até mesmo, de como podem ser criadas estratégias de ampliação da comunicação, considerando os variados contextos de circulação da Língua com vistas à interação.

İnsanlar, doğaları gereği geçmişe özlem duyarlar. Özellikle de ortalama bir yaşamsal rutine tabiiyetin gerçekliğinde yeterince varoluşsal bir tatmin duygusu elde edemediklerinde, kendilerini sıklıkla geçmiş yaşantılarında, pratiklerinde, alışkanlıklarında bulurlar. Bu sembolik deneyimler özellikle medya endüstrisi çağında temsili doyum arayışının da temel araçlarıdır. Deyim yerindeyse, böylelikle temsili hazlarla hayatlarındaki anlam eksikliğini gidermeye çalışırlar. Günümüz medyatik popüler kültür koşullarında nostaljiye eğilimin daha da artmış olmasının önemli bir nedeni, kişisel ve kolektif hayatı anlamlandıran değerlerin gitgide özgünlüklerini ve derinliklerini yitirerek metalaşması ve rutin yaşamsal pratiğin uğradığı anlam kaybı olabilir. Nostalji olgusu, şimdinin ve geleceğin belirsizliğine karşılık küresel değer salgını içinde köklerinden ve yerlerinden edilmiş, değerleri, duyguları ve alışkanlıkları bakımından adeta sürgünde yaşayan bireylere bir nevi konumlanma olanağı, yitirilmiş aşinalık duygusuna ilişkin bir tür ikame veya aidiyet duygusu sunuyor da olabilir. Bu çalışma, kullanımlar ve doyumlar yaklaşımı temelinde, nostalji talebinin medyanın etkili retoriği tarafından tahkim edilmiş görsel reklam örnekleri odağında ne tür söylem biçimleri eşliğinde üretildiğinin eleştirel bir çözümlemesini yapmayı amaçlamaktadır.

Published: September 2020

Seven crude oils from four oil fields in the Sirte and Murzuq Basins in Libya were investigated in order to estimate their organic geochemical homogeneity. Saturated biomarkers (n-alkanes and isoprenoids) were analyzed using gas chromatography?mass spectrometry (GC?MS). The parameters calculated from the distributions of n-alkanes and isoprenoid aliphatic alkanes, pristane and phytane were used to interpret the organic geochemical characteristics of the oils. Based on the high relative concentration of lower n-alkane homologues in the C11?C16 range and high API values, the oils were classified as light oils. These results also implied that the oils were not biodegraded. The parameters calculated from the distributions of saturated biomarkers indicated that all investigated oils were generated from source rocks containing organic matter of a similar marine origin but with a contribution of terrestrial organic matter. The results also demonstrated that these source rocks were deposited in an oxic environment. The same source rock or the same type of source rocks for all seven samples were postulated. It was concluded that, if the crude oils from these distant basins originated from the same source rocks, they must have had different lengths of their migration pathways.

The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of increasing doses of mineral and organic fertilizers on the root chemotaxis of Avena strigosa and avoidance of Folsomia candida. Five soil samples were used for the mineral fertilization with NPK and other five soil samples were used for the organic fertilization with poultry litter-based organic fertilizer. The experiment included control soils (without applications) and soils containing 4-, 8-, 16- and 32-ton fertilizer per ha. A. strigosa was planted and cultivated in the soils for 14, 21, 28 and 35 days and avoidance behavior of F. candida. The root amounts in the soils containing mineral fertilizer were higher than those of the soils containing poultry litter-based organic fertilizer. The avoidance behavior of F. candida from the soils containing poultry litter-based organic fertilizer increased from 8- to 32-ton ha-1. Applications of high poultry litter-based organic fertilizer doses in soil increase the toxic effects for A. strigosa and F. candida.

Trata-se de uma pesquisa-ação colaborativo-crítica desenvolvida em uma escola municipal de ensino fundamental de Vitória (Espírito Santo). A investigação é um desdobramento do projeto “Observatório Nacional de Educação Especial: estudo em rede nacional sobre as salas de recursos multifuncionais nas escolas comuns”, cujo objetivo foi promover formações continuadas com professores com ênfase na inclusão de estudantes público-alvo da educação especial nas escolas por meio de práticas pedagógicas inclusivas. Fundamenta-se nas concepções de Meirieu (2002, 2005), que defende a educação para todos e os investimentos na formação docente. Aplica, como procedimentos teórico-metodológicos, a observação do trabalho pedagógico no cotidiano escolar, os momentos de formação, a colaboração nas atividades de classe e as entrevistas semiestruturadas. Os dados, produzidos entre março e outubro de 2015, conduzem ao entendimento de que os momentos de formação continuada são espaços-tempos propícios para problematizar as práticas pedagógicas e o uso de laudos médicos como elementos que podem induzir à rotulação dos discentes como sujeitos não propensos à aprendizagem, culminando na negação do direito à educação. As formações desafiaram os professores à pesquisa, ao estudo, à desconstrução de verdades cristalizadas sobre os alunos e à busca por novas alternativas de ensinar a todos.
O praxema no contexto esportivo: a linguagem expressa pelo corpo, a exemplo do voleibol
Authors: Oliveira Raquel Valente de , Ribas João Francisco Magno
Published: September 2020

O esporte configura-se como um fenômeno sociocultural de grande relevância para a humanidade, sendo uma das manifestações culturais mais difundidas socialmente, inclusive nos mais diferentes âmbitos de ensino. Como uma teoria que objetiva analisar a lógica interna das práticas motrizes, assim como das esportivas, e auxiliar em seu processo de ensino-aprendizagem, a Praxiologia Motriz caracteriza-se como uma ciência que apresenta diferentes conhecimentos. Um deles é o praxema, elemento específico do jogo, referente à linguagem corporal do jogador, que se manifesta por meio das ações motrizes, sendo uma forma de comunicação e de contracomunicação não verbal. Com base nisso, este artigo objetiva elucidar o praxema no contexto esportivo, tomando como exemplo o voleibol, e sua importância na leitura de jogo e na atuação de seus jogadores. Para isso, realizou-se uma pesquisa teórica, de cunho exploratório, mediante a qual se constatou que a orientação e a linguagem corporal dão indícios aos jogadores sobre qual praxema será manifestado e, portanto, a intencionalidade e as ações motrizes que serão executadas em determinada situação do jogo, tanto por companheiros quanto por adversários. Consequentemente, isso os auxiliará nos processos de análise, interpretação e antecipação, bem como na leitura de jogo e na tomada de decisão dos participantes dessa modalidade esportiva.

Objetivo: analizar las características de las viviendas receptoras de las remesas en Puebla (México), dada su significativa presencia en los montos nacionales. La hipótesis fue que, dadas las especificidades étnicas en Puebla, las características de las viviendas receptoras y el comportamiento de los envíos son diferentes a los que se originan desde la población no indígena. Metodología: se empleó un modelo de regresión logística binomial a partir de los datos de la Encuesta Intercensal de 2015, el cual permite establecer el nivel de asociación entre las categorías de las variables analizadas y la posibilidad de que una vivienda indígena sea receptora de remesas. Resultados: se encontraron diferencias en las características de la población indígena, lo que puede tener relación con el mercado laboral al cual se insertan en el destino y a las particularidades étnicas del grupo. Limitaciones: dadas las características de la fuente de información, no se cuenta con otras variables relevantes para el estudio de las remesas como es el monto o el uso que se les da a estos recursos. Conclusiones: los hogares con mayor propensión a recibir remesas son los que cuentan con jefaturas femeninas, con poca escolaridad (hasta primaria completa), no unidas, con grados medios de marginación (principalmente), además de ser receptoras de otro tipo de ingresos como jubilaciones, remesas internas o programas del gobierno.

Se evaluó el crecimiento de la carpa común (Cyprinus carpio), lechuga (Lactuca sativa) y espinaca (Spinacia oleracea) durante 12 semanas, incorporando el suministro de tres dietas alimenticias. Se usaron tres tanques, en los cuales se depositaron 28 peces, 20 plantas de lechuga, 20 de espinaca, para cada tanque y adicionalmente se sembraron testigos de las plantas para tener un grupo control. Las dietas se manejaron con concentrado y lenteja de agua (Lemna minor), en concentraciones de 100% concentrado, 70% concentrado y 30% lenteja, y 50% concentrado y 50% lenteja. Cada semana se midió la longitud, ancho y peso de los peces, en las plantas la altura y el número de hojas y en el agua la cantidad de amonio, nitritos, nitratos, pH y temperatura. Al final del proyecto experimental se evidenció, que no hubo diferencias considerables en el crecimiento de los peces, sin embargo, los peces del tanque 3 tuvieron una longitud de 0.24 cm en promedio de diferencia con el tanque 1. El tanque 1 permitió que el número de hojas y altura de la lechuga tuviera unas diferencias significativas en relación con el grupo control y las plantas de espinaca se desarrollaron mejor en el grupo control que en las plantas del sistema acuapónico.

PENGARUH PENYUSUNAN POLARISASI PADA SISTEM ANTENA MIMO TERHADAP KAPASITAS KANAL
Authors: Rizki Abdurrahman , Pramudita Alloysius Adya , Yunita Trasma
Published: September 2020

Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) system is a technology that has the potential to be developed to increase channel capacity. The increase in channel capacity in the MIMO system is not only determined by the number of antennas, but is determined by the characteristics and arrangement of the antenna concept. This study identifies the effect of circular polarization on the MIMO antenna system on channel capacity. Co-polarization consists of a Left Hand Circular Polarization (LHCP) and Right Hand Circular Polarization (RHCP) configuration, while cross-polarization consists of an RHCP-LHCP configuration. The co-polarization of the antenna with the LHCP configuration results in an estimated channel capacity of 11,578 bps / Hz when it is at the lowest Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) is 5 dB

Published: September 2020

Antena mikrostrip merupakan antena yang sering digunakan untuk berbagai keperluan karena mempunyai beberapa kelebihan antara lain kecil, sederhana, dan murah. Dibalik kelebihan itu, terdapat beberapa kekurangan yaitu mempunyai Bandwidth yang kecil dan Gain yang kecil. Substrat tidak homogen telah digunakan untuk menurunkan indeks dielektrik yang efektif dari substrat Homogen, menekan gelombang permukaan yang berasal dari sebuah patch, dan meningkatkan pola radiasi dari patch. Pada penelitian ini, didapatkan hasil performansi yang lebih baik pada antena dengan menggunakan substrat tidak homogen. Performansi antena yang paling baik berupa peningkatan bandwidth sebesar 128,15 MHz (29,558%), gain sebesar 0.8076 dBi (11,855%), dan frekuensi tengah dari antena bergeser ke kanan (bertambah) sebesar 1,0075 GHz (9,842%) daripada performansi dengan substrat homogen.
Predictors of Indulgence in Procrastinating Behaviour: Demographic Variables and Self-Esteem
Authors: Richard A. Adu
Published: September 2020

The study investigated demographic variables and self-esteem as predictors of indulgence in procrastinating behaviour. It utilized a correlation survey design involving two hundred and forty two sampled male (114) and female (128) civil servants in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. Data were collected from the sample using two scales. All the scales were re-validated. Seven hypotheses were tested. The results of simple regression analyses showed that both age and self-esteem independently predicted indulgence in procrastinating behaviour. Likewise, the results of t-test analysis revealed that marital status had significant influence on indulgence in procrastinating behaviour and that the single respondents indulged more in procrastination than married respondents. Further, the results of analysis of variance indicated that educational qualification had significant effect on indulgence in procrastinating behaviour. Multiple regression analysis results revealed that self-esteem, gender, age, marital status, educational qualification, and work experience jointly predicted indulgence in procrastinating behaviour and that only self-esteem and educational qualification independently predicted procrastination. The findings indicate that, self-esteem, and the listed demographic variables are significant predictors of indulgence in procrastinating behaviour among employees in this investigation. The study recommends that management and employers of labour should take cognizance of these predictors in their recruitment, training and development programs to enhance employees’ output and lessen indulgence in procrastinating behaviour.
The Concept of Adhyas in Sankar and Post Sankar Vedanta
Authors: Dr. Uma Sharma
Published: September 2020

In any consistence metaphysical system, the three basic ingredients, Methodology, epistemology and ontology must exists harmoniously. The system Sankar Vedanta is closely connected with her non dualistic ontology and its epistemological position clearly implies a strict monism. Moreover, the epistemological issues in Sankar Vedanta have a certain definite contemporary significance. It is also use full to compare the point with the philosophical position of Kant.

The central question which we want to discuss with reference to these three epistemologies is does the act of observation make a difference in the thing or system which is under the observation of an observer? And if this type of epistemology is accepted, can it be saved from a solipstic ontic position? The observer is not merely a passive receiver of the knowledge of the object before him or her. It is remarkable thing that Sankar theory of Adhyasa is one of the most consistent theories in harmony with the rest of Sankar Vedanta.
