Public Reveal: Finding a place for Civic Architecture in the Contemporary City
Authors:   , Venter Amber
Published: November 2021

This research is an architectural enquiry into how the visibility of local government can mimic the performance of everyday political life. Using the conceptual framework of place and understanding of the collective community. The intention of this design proposal is to encourage the transparency of local authority through an architectural intervention in the city.

The driver of this research is the reduced physical presence of civic practices, with particular regard to the congregating place of local government. A framework is developed as a precursor to develop an understanding of the traditional civic architype. The aim is to reimagine a contemporary civic architecture which is detached from the corporate functions of local government. Architecture supports the celebration of collective rituals of movement and meeting.

An archetype investigation formalises a set design criteria by which the design case study is evaluated against. The background research comprises a critique of the spatial arrangement of the traditional town hall. An additional background task is consisted of a comparative inquiry into today’s local government accommodation.

The site is located in Tamaki Makaurau/Auckland City. The site analysis criteria utilised by this thesis is grounded in the research of Jan Gehl and his understanding of architectures impact on peoples’ behaviour in cities.

Finally the design case study is driven by dynamic circulation, which establishes a celebration of the formal and informal interactions between the participants of local government. Transparency and hierarchy are used to challenge the spatial and functional qualities of Auckland City Council. The result of the research will contribute to the inclusive understanding of the ordinary rituals of local government through architecture in the city.
Teaching Moral Education in Secondary Schools Using Real-Life Dilemmas
Authors:   , Balakrishnan Vishalache
Published: November 2021

The purpose of this study is to contribute to contemporary debates about alternative ways of teaching Moral Education (ME) in Malaysia by including the voice of students. ME in the Malaysian setting is both complex and compulsory. This study explores alternatives to the current somewhat dated approach. It seeks to discover what young adolescents describe as moral dilemmas, how they approach them and what they find useful in resolving these moral problems. The research is founded on a modified version of Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), extended to suit the multicultural, multiethnic Malaysian setting, and here called the Zone of Collaborative Development (ZCD). This study uses qualitative research methodology consisting of a modified framework of participatory action research (PAR) as the methodological framework. Data was gathered for textual analysis through a modified form of participant observation, focus group transcripts, interviews, and student journals. The research trials a process of resolving reallife moral dilemmas in the ME classroom. It critically analyses the types of reallife moral dilemmas that a selected group of secondary students face. It also indicates the moral choices they make and the moral orientations they use. Participants in this study were 22 16-17 year old adolescents from three different types of secondary schools in a Form Four ME classroom in Malaysia. They were from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds, but within a nonMuslim community of students. ME in Malaysia (MEM) is designed to cater for this group while Muslim students study Islamic Studies. Findings show that students were concerned about moral issues and values not covered in the current ME curriculum. The moral dilemmas that they identified were relational and context dependent. Multiple factors contributed to the problems they described. These factors included national legislation, Malaysian culture, ethnicity, and religion as well as the effects of history, in particular the Japanese occupation. Students named autonomy, self and mutual respect, trust, freedom, and tolerance as main conflicting themes in their reallife moral dilemmas. They found their peers helpful in providing support, advice, and direction. Students also appear to find the process trialled in the research interesting, interactive/collaborative, meaningful, and reflective. The analysis also shows that the respondents' moral choices were influenced by parents, culture, religion, utilitarianism, collaboration, and friendship, within a strong carebased approach. However, moral pluralism was also evident in the findings in cases where participants made decisions based on care and justice interchangeably. The study suggests that including students' voices in MEM in this way might better engage students' interest, whilst at the same time contributing to intercultural tolerance and understanding.
Behaviours That Put Female Youth at Risk of Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Sexually Transmitted Infections in Gerehu, Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea
Authors:   , Naemon Anna Sirimai
Published: November 2021

The HIV and AIDS epidemic in Papua New Guinea (PNG) is growing at an alarming rate according to recent statistics and is increasingly affecting the young people. The majority of all known HIV cases are in young people below the age of 35 years. A crucial task remains for PNG to provide protection and safety for young people (who comprise more than 50% of the country's 5.2 million people) from the risk of sexual infections, harm and death. Whilst risk of infections are inevitably real and alive in local communities and seriously challenging youth, unfortunately, this group, poorly educated, unemployed, unheard and unsupported by service providers, disempowered and financially and socially vulnerable stand the highest risk of been affected by HIV/AIDS and STIs. The main aim of this study was to examine sexual behaviours and practices of female youth including their exposure to sexual violence and the protection strategies used. Amongst other things, this study also assessed how much female youth know and understand about HIV/AIDS and STIs including access to HIV and sexual health services. A standard questionnaire was completed through faceto-face interviews with 63 out-of-school and unemployed1 female youth (age 15-24) in the suburb of Gerehu in Port Moresby, PNG. The research identified some unsafe behaviours and vulnerable factors that are contributing to increase risk of HIV and STI for female youth in Gerehu. Female Youth women are inadequately educated about sex, sexual relationships, causes and nature of sexual infections, they own risks and sexual behavioural practices, condom negotiation skills, sexual coercion, stigma related risk, access to sexual treatment and services and how competing gender and socio-cultural factors create, perpetuate and increase risk of infection for them. Unless female youth adequately know these factors they are not able to avoid risk and protect themselves from HIV and STIs.
The Effect of Music Therapy on Self-Reported Affect in Hospitalised Paediatric Patients
Authors:   , Armstrong Ruth Elizabeth
Published: November 2021

The present research examines the effect of music therapy on the affect of hospitalised children. It took place on a paediatric ward of a New Zealand public hospital. This study aimed to investigate the role of music therapy in addressing patients' psychosocial needs. Literature on the impact of hospitalisation, and on the use of music therapy in hospitals and paediatrics was reviewed. The research involved an audit of the therapist's clinical notes from music therapy sessions over the course of seven months. The clinical notes included measurements of children's mood from the beginning and end of sessions, using McGrath's (1990) Affective Facial Scale. It was hypothesised that mood measures following music therapy would be higher than pre-music therapy scores. Statistical analysis of the facial scale data did not show a significant difference between 'before' and 'after' measures. These results were discussed with regard to a ceiling effect (this is, the measurements indicated patients were at the happy end of the scale before the music therapy session, so there was little room on the scale for mood to improve following music therapy). The measurement of emotion did not prove to be straightforward. The hospital environment may have influenced the patients' responses in a number of ways. These environmental influences are discussed with reference to examples from the clinical notes. The usefulness of facial scales in this context is discussed, as well as other limitations of the research. Suggestions for future research include the use of other mood measures, and the inclusion of measurements of parental mood and how this affects the child.
Paradigms on Indigenous Language Revitalisation: the Case of Te Reo Maori in Aotearoa New Zealand and Mapudungun in Chile
Authors:   , Gallegos Carina
Published: November 2021

The existence of systems of indigenous knowledge depend greatly on the existence of indigenous languages. Processes of language revitalisation seek to uphold indigenous knowledge by restoring endangered indigenous languages. Historical processes of colonisation and globalisation in Chile and Aotearoa New Zealand have impacted and threatened each country's indigenous language. This dissertation describes language revitalisation processes of te reo Maori in Aotearoa New Zealand and Mapudungun in Chile in order to further understand the implications of language on effectively revitalising indigenous culture and knowledge. The research and analysis presented implements comparative methodology through the use of case studies, direct observations, primary and secondary data sources. In an effort to evaluate and compare outcomes of indigenous language revitalisation schemes of te reo Maori in Aotearoa New Zealand and Mapudungun in Chile, this thesis focuses on case studies in the context of how education programmes in each country approach indigenous language revitalisation.
A Direction and Principles for the Reshaping the Government's Climate Change Communications and Engagement Strategy
Authors:   , Hannant Alex
Published: November 2021

Climate change is a global challenge that requires immediate individual and collective action. The self-evident fact that information alone is unable to motivate action suggests that effective communications and engagement will be critical in stimulating the required response. This research project explores how strategic thinking can be employed to support the New Zealand Government's climate change communication and engagement objectives. Strategic thinking is the active and deliberate pursuit of synthesising evidence with a creative anticipation of what might be possible. Rather than work within parameters set by precedent and convention, it represents the deliberate intent to question, disrupt and design new courses of action. This research explores the inertia in mainstream attitudes and behaviours towards climate change; relevant communications and social science best practice and theory; recent trends in New Zealand; and views and opinions from a diverse range of experts. The research outcome is a set of interconnected and interdependent principles that serve to inform and lead the development of a national climate change communications and engagement strategy.
Music Therapy for Young Children Who Have Special Needs: the Music Therapy Experience from the Perspectives of Carers and Professionals
Authors:   , Chiang Jenny Yu Kuan
Published: November 2021

This project aims to investigate how carers and other professionals perceive the music therapy process over time. Music therapy has been used to address a wide range of diagnoses and developmental issues of young children. The research was conducted during my clinical placement working with young children who have been referred to a child development team. The participants in this project were carers with children with special needs. The children were diagnosed with various disabilities and required different support and developmental goals. Each child attended individual music therapy sessions once a week over a period of three to nine months. It was speculated that many other changes or developmental progress could occur along with the goals and objectives set by me in the music therapy process. To understand fully what other changes or progress the children have made with the input of music therapy, the research was designed using open-ended interviews to find out what the carers and a professional witnessed during and in between the sessions. Three carers were involved in a one-on-one in-depth interview in which they were encouraged to talk about their observation and perception of music therapy. A speech-language therapist was also invited to participate in an in-depth interview. Data derived from the interviews was analysed using a thematic analysis approach. The findings compare themes generated from the clinical notes and interview data. The results showed some shared experiences amongst the participants as well as exceptions influenced by parental differences and the children's conditions. Examination of the similarities and differences between the clinical notes and the interview data helped me validate the outcome of music therapy intervention and gain more insights into effective practice.
Younger and Older Together: Children's Interactions in a Mixed-Age Early Childhood Centre
Authors:   , Fagan Tara Jan
Published: November 2021

Since industrialisation, children have increasingly become educated in age-bands to facilitate manageability. The contemporary 21st century Western world further limits mixed-age interaction for young children, yet there is little concern expressed about educational segregation based on age. At the same time, mixed-age settings have been noted to be beneficial for children's learning. This qualitative exploratory study, situated within a socio-cultural framework, considered the nature of children's interactions in one mixed-age Playcentre. Using narrative records that captured the nuances of the social interactions of three focus children, over the course of three Playcentre sessions for each child, the experiences of an 18-month aged girl, a 3-year-3-month old boy and a 4-year-7-month old girl were analysed to explore the qualitative nature of the social interactions that are enabled in a mixed-age early childhood setting. This study supports earlier studies that indicate that age makes a difference to the type of interactions that children engage in. In this study age impacted on the social interaction techniques and strategies that the focus children applied and was also a factor when choosing a peer to engage with. Older children were the ideal child to observe, and to engage with, and this assigned an unspoken leadership role to these older children. Yet, all children were active in their life-world with all being able to contribute to the interactions at the Playcentre, regardless of age. Each of the focus children took responsibility for one another, contributing to the upholding of centre rules and regulations while also respecting each others' needs. I argue that the children's social interactions within this Playcentre created a sense of togetherness within a community; this was the central feature of children's social experiences in this mixed-age setting.
Waitangi Park: Public Land in Competition
Authors:   , Price Nina
Published: November 2021

This thesis looks at Wellington's Waitangi Park, through the specifics of the Chaffers Park Design Competition, in order to explore the repercussions mistrust can have on social vision and political response. In examining aspects of this competition over a piece of public land, and comparing various accounts of events leading up to it, an interpretative impasse is reached that factual explanations alone cannot minimise. Because the search for truth proves elusive, other forms of evidence must be relied upon as sources of knowledge. In this instance, an analysis of experiences demonstrates the effect differing expectations has on human interaction, ones that are shown to have a significant impact on placemaking processes and organizational structures. When debates over public land degenerate into power struggles, the issue of control is brought to the forefront of attention. It raises questions concerning who owns public land, whether it properly belongs to local authorities or the public itself. Who gets to designate how these spaces are used, and select what ought and ought not to go on these sites? Here, the issue of representation is troublesome because so many different groups claim to speak for the public's interest, leaving the reader wondering whose interpretation to believe and place trust in. Where the perception is that democratic rights are being undermined, then doubt in the principles underpinning consultation processes soon emerges. And once mistrust becomes entrenched, organizational tinkering is not sufficient in itself to reverse a negative state of affairs; only joint satisfaction will do. But if satisfaction proves unforthcoming, then a withdrawal from engagement can be anticipated as committed individuals quit the field in disillusionment. This in turn causes a narrowing of vision and leads to uncreative political responses traits associated with acts of obliviousness.
The Social Environment of Public Transport
Authors:   , Thomas Jared Austin Peter Kay
Published: November 2021

Crowding is identified both internationally and in New Zealand as a key issue in public transport. Unfortunately, the concerns of public transport providers are focussed on economic imperative rather than a concern for the actual experiences of patrons. The social needs of public transport passengers are neglected, both in practice and in research. This research examines the delicate balance between the need for privacy and the need for social interaction in the setting of public transport. These needs are examined through naturalistic observation of 1703 passengers' behaviours, such as seat selection, activity use, and conversation on buses and trains. This was followed by a survey-based Exploratory study examining a range of individual difference variables. Based on the findings of this Exploratory study measures were identified for use in a series of subsequent surveys of public and private transport users. Specifically, questionnaires measuring the attitudes and self-reported behaviour of train (N = 319), car (N = 305) and bus commuters (N = 216). Results suggest that the seating layout of public transport forces people into an intimate distance with strangers, causing social discomfort. Hall's (1966) proxemic theory suggests that these intimate distances are typically reserved for people with closer relations. People compensate by adapting to this close yet impersonal social situation. There is evidence that interactive strategies such as talking and positive body language with other passengers reduces the level of social discomfort, whereas defensive strategies do not reduce discomfort, but do form a negative relationship with social interaction which helps perpetuate a socially stagnant atmosphere. Discomfort from close interpersonal distance and less positive attitudes towards other passengers, while not as important as instrumental variables (such as longer trip durations), are still potential barriers to public transport patronage and should be given greater attention. In conclusion, interactive behaviours are determined to be necessary to reduce social discomfort in public transport. Festinger and colleague's (1950) passive contact theory (PCT) is interrupted in the public transport setting, and it is posited that pro-social behaviours, such as smiling, and acknowledging other passengers with greetings are a precondition for successful interpersonal interaction.

Authors: Zusryn Alyta Shabrina , Rofi’i Muhammad , Gani Ariel Nian
Published: November 2021

Indonesia's population has been dominated by young and Muslim people in recent years. However, these conditions are not comparable to the Islamic financial literacy level in Indonesia, which is still low. Therefore, there is a need for early education for young people who are in high school. This activity aims to provide an introduction and knowledge of Islamic finance to generation Z, namely, Islamic Senior High School (MAN) 3 Jakarta students. In its implementation, this workshop used video and game crossword puzzles to educate MAN 3 Jakarta students about Islamic finance. The results of the evaluation of this activity show that after the workshop, the number of students who answered correctly in the aspect of Islamic financial literacy drastically increased. After the workshop, the number of students who knew of Islamic financial institutions also increased. On the intention side, there is an increase in students' attractiveness to Islamic financial products and services. Therefore, educational workshops on Islamic finance need to be developed and carried out on a large scale not only for high school students but also for students and the public.

Published: November 2021

The existence of street vendors (in Indonesian called Pedagang Kaki Lima/PKL), who are often shabby and disturb the visual image of the city, has become an issue raised in this community service program. This service program assists PKL Communities along Wahidin Sudirohusodo Street Yogyakarta (in front of the Duta Wacana Christian University Campus). The PKL Wahidin community has the intention to improve itself to organize street vendors that involve relevant stakeholders (according to the Yogyakarta City ‘gandeng-gendong’ program) it is hoped that it can become an identity for an image of a city in Yogyakarta. The process of designing street vendors tents using participatory design methods, community-based design with stages in the form of surveys, observations, interviews, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), and making tent design mockups. The participatory design method chosen was expected to make the community have a ‘sense of belonging’ to the arrangement of street vendors along Wahidin Street so that sustainability would be created. This tent design can later be moved (movable) and following user needs and because the location of the design sidewalks remains environmentally friendly to pedestrians.

Parental investment can moderate the negative effects of low socioeconomic status on children’s health: an analysis of Kenyan national data
Authors: Mbuma Vanessa , Lissner Lauren , Hunsberger Monica
Published: November 2021

Background

Stunting is an indicator for cumulative growth deficits and long-term undernutrition. Determinants of stunting include poverty, food insecurity, poor sanitation, and low maternal education. Stunting has both short and long-term detrimental health and developmental effects on children. In 2020, around 149 million children under five were stunted worldwide. This study examines whether parental investment moderates the association between maternal education and childhood stunting in Kenya.

Methods

The 2014 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey was used to examine the variation in childhood stunting, analysed using binary logistic regression. Subgroup effect modification models were utilized to incorporate the interactions between maternal education and parental investments: marital status, household size, number of antenatal visits and breastfeeding duration on childhood stunting.

Results

This analysis included 17247 children under 5 years. The results indicated that 26% of Kenyan children under five were stunted in 2014. The prevalence of stunting was greater among males (30%) than females (22%). There was an increasing adverse effect of decreasing maternal education levels on stunting as secondary education (odd ratios (OR)=1.63; 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.40-1.98), primary education (OR=2.95; 95% CI=2.51-3.46) and no education (OR=3.07; 95% CI=2.56-3.68) relative to higher education. Breastfeeding for ≥12 months was associated with a lower risk of adverse effects of primary education (OR=3.03; 95% CI=1.82-3.36), compared to breastfeeding for <6 months (OR=4.01; 95% CI=1.11-15.50), relative to higher education. Smaller households (2-4 members) (OR=2.96; 95% CI=1.81-5.12) and 5-7 ANC visits (OR=2.22; 95% CI=1.50-3.43) diminished the adverse effects of no maternal education relative to higher education on stunting.

Conclusions

In Kenya, childhood stunting still is a critical public health challenge. Parents can invest more in their offspring through planning for fewer children, attending sufficient antenatal clinics, and providing adequate breastfeeding to moderate the negative effects of low socio-economics status on their children’s health.

Published: November 2021

The seeds of Trigonella foenum graecum (Fenugreek) was fed to laying hens at dietary level of 6% for 28 days. FG seeds generally had no toxic effects as evidence by normal liver function tests. Histological examination of liver sections from FG seeds fed hens (groupT) lack of any histopathological changes as compared with hens fed basal diet (groupC), and the activities of plasma transaminases enzymes were not altered. On the other hand the plasma level of ALP enzyme significantly increased under the effects of feeding FG seeds. Plasma sugar of groupT revealed a significant elevation correlated with a decrease in plasma proteins. The results of the present work indicate a nontoxic effect of FG seeds on hepato cellular function

Published: November 2021

The thermal behavior of some complexes derived from biologically nucleic acid constituents has been studied applying differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) techniques. Thermodynamic parameters, decompositions and thermal stabilities are calculated and explained. All the complexes gave exothermic peaks with -ve signs for change of entropy values, ΔS which indicate that the activated transition states are more ordered, i.e. in a less random molecular configuration than the reacting complexes. TGA gives the mechanism of decomposition.
Effect of radial impeller size in the presence and absence of baffles on the copper exchange on zeolite NaX
Authors: Svilović Sandra , Ćosić Marija , Bašić Anita
Published: November 2021

Effect of hydrodynamics on ion exchange in a batch reactor is still not appropriately studied even though proper mixing parameters may considerably affect the process of solid suspension and its costs. In this work, hydrodynamic conditions generated by straight blade turbine (SBT) impellers on suspension in the batch reactor with and without baffles were investigated. The aim of this work was to analyze influence of impeller diameter and zeolite mass on just suspended impeller speed, (NJS) power consumption, maximum amount of copper exchanged onto zeolite NaX and copper exchange kinetics as well. All experiments were conducted at the same temperature, initial concentration of the copper solution and zeolite particle size. The obtained results showed that just suspended impeller speed decreases as impeller diameter increases in the reactor with and without baffles but this trend is considerably more pronounced in the reactor with baffles. The increase in zeolite mass causes a slight increase of NJS in the both reactor. In the reactor with the baffles this increment became noticeably higher as impeller diameter decrease. Power consumption, at the state of complete zeolite suspension, decreases as impeller diameter increases and its values in the reactor without baffles are considerably lower as well. Kinetics results indicated that the amount of copper ion increases significantly in the initial stage and then gradually until the equilibrium is reached for all hydrodynamics conditions and mass of zeolite examined.

Re-inventing and Re-shaping the Symphony Orchestra for Sustainability
Authors: Ng Kea Chye Gerald
Published: November 2021

The performing arts industry has always been an ever-evolving industry due to the creative
nature of this industry. Although the symphony orchestra has not seen much physical dramatic
changes since perhaps the late 1800’s, current events worldwide such as the outbreak of the
Covid-19 pandemic, the economic uncertainty as well as technological advancements has seen
the operations of many symphony orchestras hitting the pause button, many unsure if the
orchestra might resume their operations. Symphony orchestras worldwide are forced to come out
with various ideas to re-invent and re-shape itself.
This paper aims to examine the possibilities of how a symphony orchestra, an institution that is
heavily dependent on audiences filling up their concerts is re-inventing itself in order to sustain
their very existence. Ongoing efforts such as digitalising ‘live’ concerts through digital platforms
and other arising issues such as choice of technological equipment, cost and revenue as well as
the perception of orchestral musicians and audiences of such re-invention and re-shaping of the
symphony orchestra will be discussed. The findings from this paper may be used to further
develop the ideas of re-invention and re-shaping symphony orchestras based on the demands
and needs of each individual orchestra.
Reaching Our Roots: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Promoting Sustainability of the African Blackwood Tree
Authors: Palmer Katherine
Published: November 2021

Prized by instrument makers for its tone and resiliency since the early nineteenth century, the
African Blackwood tree (Dalbergia melanoxylon), also known as granadilla or mpingo (Swahili),
faces an uncertain future. Often overharvested and inefficiently used, African Blackwood has
been on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s “near threatened” red list since 1998
and is categorized by CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild
Fauna and Flora) in Appendix II, which restricts and controls trade. As instrument
manufacturers, makers, and musicians continue to purchase the wood, there is little recognition
of the sustainability issues around the tree. Furthermore, many communities that harvest the
wood are unaware of the musical nature of the product.
The purpose of this presentation is to introduce an interdisciplinary approach to conservation of
and education about African Blackwood. Since 2010, Daraja Music Initiative (DMI), a 501(c)3 nonprofit
and a Tanzanian NGO, has provided music and conservation education in the Kilimanjaro
Region of Tanzania, where mpingo is the national tree. By bridging seemingly divergent
disciplines, DMI has raised awareness of sustainability issues both in Tanzania and
internationally through the global clarinet community. This presentation will give a brief
historical overview of African Blackwood trade, highlight the major conservation issues, and
provide information about developing partnerships for increased sustainability in a community
setting.
To Stamp One's Feet: Resurgence of the Artesa as an Identity Reassessment in Afro-Descendant Communities of Costa Chica, Mexico
Authors: Rodríguez Carlos Ruiz
Published: November 2021

An artesa is a large zoomorphic stamping platform in the shape of a cattle related animal (horse,
bull or cow) made of one piece of parota tree wood (Enterolobyum Cyclocaroum). Until the midtwentieth
century, most collective Afro-descendant celebrations in Costa Chica region (Mexico)
implied a fandango de artesa, where stamping dance on an artesa –along with other musical
instruments and singing– was the center of the festivity. Nevertheless, since then fandangos
began to gradually fall into neglect until practically disappear. In the 1980s, through the
intervention of some anthropologists, the fandango underwent into a process of resurgence.
Firstly, immersed in the agenda of the institutional programme ‘Our Third Root’ -dedicated to
the cultural recognition of Afro-descendants- and later on embraced by a local movement
concerned with ‘Afro-Mexican’ political recognition, artesa resurgence went through substantial
changes. This process brought new functions, meanings, performative formats, construction and
esthetical values to this musical instrument. Based on regional field-work this paper explores
artesa’s recent status as a selective cultural process where a re-interpretation and a new narrative
have shaped a particular resurgence of this instrument and its contexts of appearance.
Participation and performance trends: Polish Nordic marathoners
Authors: Gotowski Rafal , Zurawik Marta Anna
Published: November 2021

For the last two decades, the physical activity of the Poles has increased dynamically.
Nevertheless, there has been a decline in the number of Polish athletes running
marathons compared with an increase in participation in a variety of competitions not
directly associated with running. The purpose of this study was to investigate
participation and performance trends in Nordic walking marathons in Poland between
2014 and 2019. A total of 490 Polish Nordic walking marathoners, who completed races
between 2014 and 2019 were included. Participation and performance were analysed
with an emphasis on the demographics of the age and gender of the athletes. The results
suggest that overall male participation in Nordic walking marathons was high, yet the
number of female finishers increased over the period of the study. Though men also had
significantly better finishing times over the same period. In terms of age, middle-aged
competitors were the biggest and the fastest age-group between 2014 and 2019.The
strength of this study lies in its novelty. It is the first research project to directly examine
the participation and performance of Nordic walking marathoners between 2014 and
2019 in terms of gender and age.
Necesidades sociales básicas: Categorías referenciales para el diagnóstico social
Authors: Fernández-de-Castro Patricia , Díaz-Herráiz Eduardo
Published: November 2021

La interpretación diagnóstica en la práctica del trabajo social requiere del análisis de los distintos componentes que afectan a cada una de las áreas de necesidad, de modo que sea posible una definición y conceptualización rigurosa y precisa de las necesidades sociales. El presente estudio, desde una metodología de análisis de contenido, ordenado a partir de la categorización de las necesidades sociales en cuatro grandes áreas, persigue definir, conceptualizar y realizar una clasificación taxonómica del conjunto de componentes que integran dichas áreas (integridad y supervivencia, integración social, autonomía personal y social e identidad personal y social), a fin de ofrecer una herramienta que facilite la elaboración del diagnóstico social. Para cada una de las áreas de necesidades sociales básicas se clasifican sus distintas categorías, estableciéndose una taxonomía conceptual, interpretativa y analítica para el diagnóstico desde la perspectiva del Trabajo Social, contemplando la multicausalidad e interrelación entre las necesidades sociales.

Trata-se de um estudo de caráter descritivo, do tipo relato de experiência, que tem por objetivo descrever as atividades extensionistas desenvolvidas pelo projeto “Promoção da Saúde Bucal para Pacientes da Terceira Idade” da Universidade Estadual de Londrina em Pastoral da Pessoa Idosa e Instituições de Longa Permanência para Idosos em Londrina/PR e região. Essas ações foram desempenhadas por estudantes, docentes e servidores nos anos de 2017, 2018 e 2019 por meio de palestras e rodas de conversas sobre alimentação saudável, doenças causadas por próteses e doenças bucais. Além disso, foram realizadas escovação dentária supervisionada individual e coletiva, higienização de próteses, exame físico e autoexame. Em relação aos resultados, observou-se que as atividades possibilitaram identificar a realidade vivenciada dessa população, compartilhar saberes e experiências sobre saúde bucal com informações claras e acessíveis para a comunidade. Adicionalmente, essa oportunidade viabilizou aos estudantes estabelecerem vínculos sociais efetivos, a tomada de decisão, a liderança, proatividade e protagonismo. Favoreceu a formação contextualizada e integrada dos estudantes, com atitudes condizentes para realizar atendimentos e cuidados com a pessoa idosa e seus cuidadores em cenários diversificados. Dessa forma, atividades extensionistas revelaram-se poderosas estratégias para estudantes fortalecerem a formação profissional por meio do trabalho de educação em saúde com idosos e cuidadores.
The Effectiveness of Ethyl Acetate Extract From Breadfrui (Artocarpus Altilis) Leaves to Inhibit Diarrhea-Causing Bacteria
Authors: Silviani Yusianti , Nirwana Ardy Prian
Published: November 2021

Diarrhea is a health problem that commonly occurs in developing countries. Bacteria that cause diarrhea are among others Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhosa and Staphylococcus aureus. This research aimed to investigate the diameters of inhibition zones of breadfruit leaf (A. altilis) ethyl acetate extract in different concentrations against the growth of Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhosa and Staphylococcus aureus. The research applied an experimental laboratory by using a post-test control group design. This research was performed at the Bacteriology Laboratory of STIKES Nasional by using the diffusion disk method. The research showed the radical zone diameters against Escherichia coli with the concentrations of  20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%,  were 6.16 mm, 6.41 mm, 6.74 mm, 7.49 mm, and 7.79 mm, respectively.  The inhibition zones against Staphylococcus aureus were 8.15, mm 9.43 mm, 10.29, 10.38 mm and 11.42 mm, while against Salmonella typhosa were 7.94 mm, 8.87 mm, 10.15 mm, 10.26 mm, and 11.23 mm, respectively. The results of the ANOVA test showed the p-value=0.00 and the results of the LSD test revealed the differences in the inhibition effects of A. altilis leaf extract against the growth of E. coli, S. typhosa and S. aureus. This study concludes that concentration variations of Artocarpus altilis leaf ethyl acetate extract can inhibit the growth of  Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella typhosa.
