Published: May 2022

Objetivo: Analisar a relevância da assistência da enfermagem nos cuidados com feridas oncológicas em pacientes em cuidados paliativos. Método: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de literatura realizada em outubro de 2020, com artigos publicados nos bancos de dados LILACS, MEDLINE e SCIELO nos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol através dos descritores: Enfermagem Oncológica; Úlcera Cutânea; Ferimentos e Lesões; Oncologia; Avaliação em Enfermagem; Cuidados de Enfermagem; Invasividade Neoplásica; Neoplasias e Terapêutica. Resultados: Os resultados obtidos conforme análise dos artigos publicados apontam que dentre os 11 estudos elegí­veis para interpretação, apenas 10 se encaixaram para a pesquisa, haja vista a concordância com a temática e objetivo de estudo. Os cuidados de enfermagem com as feridas oncológicas minimizam os sinais e sintomas, promovendo qualidade de vida, uma vez que estas feridas repercutem negativamente na autoimagem e autoaceitação do paciente em seu estado de saúde. O isolamento social e sentimento de tristeza, desamparo e humilhação acompanham o paciente acometido por elas, principalmente pelo desconforto, dor e odor caracterí­stico. Conclusão: Entende-se a necessidade de preparo profissional durante acompanhamento e assistência a esses pacientes, pois torna-se crucial o conhecimento técnico-cientifico por meio de capacitações. Sendo o enfermeiro, o profissional que lida diariamente com os cuidados de higiene, pele e ferimentos cutâneos, este deve ficar atento as caracterí­sticas da ferida, avaliando-a e orientando os pacientes e seus familiares sobre o cuidado necessário com esta.

O estudo aborda a assistência de saúde frente ao indivíduo portador de úlcera hipertensiva caracterizada como lesão isquêmica dolorosa de membro inferior, mais comum em mulheres, com dor desproporcional a seu tamanho e associada à hipertensão arterial sistêmica grave. Trata-se de um estudo observacional do tipo descritivo objetivando relatar o manejo de um caso de úlcera hipertensiva usando o barbatimão (Strypnodendron astringens), associado com o cuidado integral oferecido pelo enfermeiro e equipe multidisciplinar em um serviço ambulatorial de um município de São Paulo. Paciente de 70 anos, portadora de lesão que se iniciou com vesícula pruriginosa em terço médio do membro inferior direito, dolorosa, fétida, com presença de tecido necrótico e exsudato esverdeado sendo acompanhada de forma regular utilizando pomada de barbatimão diariamente durante sete semanas, que se mostrou efetiva para o tratamento de úlcera hipertensiva, com fechamento completo da lesão. O tratamento das comorbidades contribuiu para a evolução satisfatória no aspecto clínico da hipertensão arterial e do diabetes bem como no fechamento da mesma. A utilização do Barbatimão na fase de cicatrização da lesão auxiliou no desenvolvimento de tecidos de reepitelização. Evidências científicas sugerem que o Barbatimão pode ser uma solução efetiva no tratamento de lesões exsudativas dolorosas de diversas etiologias, frente ao seu efeito proliferativo e antiinflamatório.

Authors: Alam Peter , Salimi Ali , El Hawary Hassan , Sioufi Krystelle , Papanastasiou Constantine , Thibaudeau Stephanie
Published: May 2022

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged health care systems. We sought to comprehend the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on surgical residents’ education and mental well-being across Canada.
Methods: An online 51-question survey was distributed to surgical residents across all 17 Canadian post- graduate surgical residency programs. The questionnaire contained questions concerning demographic factors, perceived effects of COVID-19 pandemic on surgical training and residents’ mental health (categorically demonstrating whether it improved, stayed the same, or worsened). Health habits were measured as continuous variables and compared before and during the pandemic. Additionally, participants reported the performance of wellness offices’ response to their needs during this crisis.
Results: A total of 122 out of 650 (19%) residents from all surgical specialities anonymously completed the survey. The majority (68%) reported a worsening in their surgical training. 94% of participants favored online teaching as a complementary method to in-person teaching. As to health habits, 38% reported a rise in their alcohol consumption and time spent seated. Only a minority (25%) felt happier and 41% reported experiencing more anxiety in comparison to surgical training pre-COVID-19. Merely 14% reported benefitting from wellness programs.
Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative effect on the perceived quality of surgical training, education, and resident mental health. There is an urgent need to reconsider the implemented measures in medical education and urge us to develop better agendas to face the current or future waves.

Authors: Treasa D Cinderella , V K Shyni Dr. Kumari
Published: May 2022

The study focuses on identifying the various challenges faced by the manufacturers in the state of Kerala and the government measures taken to overcome these hindrances and to enhance the ease of doing business in Kerala. The focus of the study is on the facts the manufacturers are hesitant to do manufacturing businesses in other states compared to Kerala. The study thus identifies and compares various reasons why the manufacturers choose other popular manufacturing hubs in Kerala. In the wake of COVID-19, the economy of every country has shattered and India is no exception. But the state is rising from the after-pandemic impact by improving their economic transactions through inviting more business industries mainly manufacturing businesses by enhancing the ease of doing business. But in case of Kerala, the state has no reforms made before the pandemic and is now striving to achieve better rank in ease of doing business. In Kerala to overcome the problem of less business investments and the losses caused by the pandemic the state governments make several reforms and amendments in the existing acts to invite more businesses. The study thus evaluates the perception of manufacturers towards various schemes or government initiatives in Kerala.
Bam i klassrum. Kamratstatus, statusfordelning och psykiskt välbefinnande
Authors: Östberg Viveca
Published: May 2022

I fokus för denna studie står sociala relationer i skolklasser och dessas betydelse för barns psykiska välbefinnande. Den aspekt av sociala relationer som studeras är statusförhållandena i skolklassen och både betydelsen av den egna statuspositionen och av statusfördelningen i skolklassen som helhet har analyserats. Antalet barn i studien var 13,932 och antalet klasser 524. Resultaten visar ett tydligt samband på individnivå. Ju högre kamratstatus desto ovanligare med psykisk ohälsa. Detta gäller både då psykisk ohälsa skattats genom lärare och föräldrar, för både pojkar och flickor och oberoende av det antal vänskapsrelationer individen har. Sambandet var också allmänt förekommande inom skolan. Det existerar i alla årskurser, skoltyper och klasstorlekar. En minoritet av skolklasserna hade inte utanförstående barn och i dessa var ohälsa mer sällsynt bland barn i alla statuspositioner. Resultaten visar således att den egna statuspositionen i skolklassen är av betydelse för psykiskt välbefinnande men också att det är viktigt att se klassen som en helhet. Att några barn blir ställda utanför gruppen innebär i första hand problem för de drabbade men verkar även indikera en problematisk situation för övriga gruppmedlemmar.
Vem blir nykterist?

Who becomes an abstainer? On the abstainer as deviantThe principal aim of the study is to find out what the characteristics are of those consumers that later choose to abstain from alcohol. Both cross-sectional and panel data from the level-of-living surveys (LNU) conducted 1968, 1974, 1981 and 1991 are analysed. The results show that those becoming abstainers during the study period have a higher proportion of smokers than the long-term abstainers and, compared to the long-term abstainers and the drinkers, poorer mental health, a higher prevalence of use of minor tranquillizers and a sparser social network. In the beginning of the study period (1968-74) an association was also found between cardiovascular disease and later abstinence. Whereas (physical) health selection has become less obvious over time, the importance of negative psychosocial selection increases, especially for women. The findings underline the importance of distinguishing the new, selected abstainers - former drinkers - from long-term abstainers. This holds true especially in studies of the relationship between alcohol consumption on the one hand and mortality or morbidity on the other hand. It is likely that a majority of the long-term abstainers, of which some are lifetime abstainers, are part of a social context in which abstinence is not seen as deviant, whereas a large proportion of the new abstainers have a problematic life situation. The abstainers’ deviant position says something about the Swedish drinking culture in the last decades of the twentieth century. The fact that the psychosocial selection is so pronounced, and increases over time, reflects a social climate where an ever-decreasing number sees abstinence as an attractive choice.

The Sweden Democrats and the ethno-nationalist rhetoric of decay and betrayal
Authors: Elgenius Gabrielle , Rydgren Jens
Published: May 2022

Sweden was long considered an ”exceptional case” with no representatives of the radical right in parliament. However, the Sweden Democrats (SD) entered parliament in the 2010 parliamentary election, pointing towards the demand for ethnic nationalism also in Sweden. This article explores the party’s rhetoric with particular references to the politics of decay and betrayal and its construction of a Swedish golden age. The rhetoric of decay echoes the ethnicity-based nationalisms articulated in other parts of Europe alongside nationalist claims of homogenous origins, a common destiny and an inherited social solidarity. The empirical material consists of political election programs since 1989 (SD 1989), high profile speeches and the party journal (SD Kuriren).
The gender gap in crime is decreasing, but who’s growing equal to whom?
Authors: Estrada Felipe , Nilsson Anders , Bäckman Olof
Published: May 2022

The declining gender gap in crime, observed in many Western countries, including Sweden, is often interpreted as showing an alarming shift in the offending of young women. Explanations to the observed pattern are often based on an assumption that women are increasingly coming to mimic the criminal behaviour of men, while we in this essay argue that to the extent behavioural change is at play, it is rather the other way around: men mimic women’s behaviour.
The institutionalization of a new social cleavage
Authors: Bengtsson Mattias , Jacobsson Kerstin
Published: May 2022

The objective of this article is to analyse the ideological influences, main reforms and social inequality outcomes of “the new work strategy”, i.e. the former Swedish centre-right Alliance government’s work-first approach. By studying government bills and reports, official statistics, and research on welfare and labour market policies, discourses, policy measures and their outcomes have been analysed. The main conclusion is that Sweden, the former prototypical “social democratic” welfare state, has adopted a new institutional framework for social protection that we call a “work-first, consolidation state”. The reforms aimed at shrinking the welfare state were implemented by strengthening activation principles in social protection systems as well as a politics of lowering taxes, which has institutionalized a new social cleavage in Swedish society and resulted in a massive redistribution from the public sector to the private sector. We also discuss how the transformation of labour income taxes and social protection systems was legitimized by the Alliance’s discourse on “outsiderhood”, and one ideological influence is located in American discourses of the underclass.
Om akademiskt hushållsarbete och dess fördelning
Authors: Kalm Sara
Published: May 2022

On academic housekeeping and its allocationAcademic housekeeping denotes the type of work tasks within university departments that are low-status, time-consuming, largely invisible, and that nevertheless need to be done. This article discusses academic housekeeping in a Swedish context, and holds that this topic has been overlooked in research. The aim is therefore to specify the meaning of the concept, to describe the gendered aspects of how academic housekeeping tasks are distributed, and to discuss possible explanations for the identified pattern. Through a close reading of current scholarship, the article finds that women carry out a disproportionate share of academic housekeeping tasks. This pattern is attributable to a complex set of factors, among them ”publish or perish”-related competitive academic culture, researcher ideals, and gender norms. The main argument of the article is that unbalanced academic housekeeping allocation may partially account for women’s difficulties in advancing within academia, and therefore need to be taken seriously in research as well as in academic leadership.
Utsatthetens mervärde

The value of socially disadvantaged neighbourhoods. A study of a school-community partnershipThe overall aim of this study is to provide knowledge regarding interventions implemented through a school-community partnership. The school-community partnership examined in this study was designed as a response to the students’ low goal achievement. However, it became clear that the students’ performance at school was viewed as part of a greater issue concerning the social situation in the neighbourhood. In order to change this situation, the school officials developed a vision of opening up the school to the local community and involving the parents. However, the officials in the district clearly had an ambivalent response to collaborating with parents and local associations. As a result, the activities undertaken within the school-commu- nity partnership were not always based on the identified challenges. The intervention instead created a situation where the area’s social vulnerability became an opportunity for companies and organizations to transform the recognition they received for their efforts in the area into a valued brand.
egna erfarenhetens marknad
Authors: Eriksson Erik
Published: May 2022

Recent research on user involvement in welfare services suggests that involvement practices are increasingly individualized and driven by market logics. This article is based on an ethnographic study within a public psychiatry organization, applying the concept of commodification to examine this trend in contemporary user involvement. By showing how public user involvement takes the form of a market where individuals’ narratives and experiences of mental health and psychiatric treatment are bought and sold as a commodity, the analysis illuminates how market logics manifests in practice. One of the consequences of this commodification is that the user movement and its representatives are limited in their role as independent actors pursuing their own agenda, instead acting increasingly on behalf of the public and as a supplier of personal experiences.
Att skapa en arbetssökande
Authors: Karlsson Daniel
Published: May 2022

Contemporary welfare policies often frame the unemployed as ”job seekers”, a position which demands that the individual engages in active job seeking, continuous self-work and various employability-enhancing activities. This article examines how the unemployed, through digital job coaching webinars by Arbetsförmedlingen (the Swedish Public Employment Service), are positioned and steered as job seekers. By scrutinizing the advice in the material with the help of theories of ”immaterial labor” and ”biopolitics”, the article conceptualizes job seeking as a kind of labor which dissolves common distinctions between work, unemployment and leisure time. Three themes are analyzed: how job seekers are activated and responsibilized; how they are encouraged to engage in affective self-work; and how they are recommended to brand and market themselves as products. By approaching job seeking as immaterial labor, it is argued that we better can grasp the wider importance of reproductive activities during unemployment for generating value in post-Fordist economies.
Ruled by the calendar?
Authors: Thelander Joakim , Åkerström Malin
Published: May 2022

This paper discusses modern organizational meetings in the public sector, with a focus on time, specifically the planning and scheduling of time among managers. In this qualitative analysis, data were gathered through an ethnographic study of managers in several public organizations, all in Sweden. During interviews and field observations, managers told about their time work involving strategies for dealing with their fully booked calendars, or for handling what they described as boring or meaningless meetings. These strategies can be conceptualized as a form of ”meeting resistance” among the managers in these organizations. Their retold experiences and strategies raise issues of meeting resistance in relation to the meetingization of contemporary work life and, in a wider sense, questions of power and control over time at work. By using a variety of strategies for negotiating and resisting the rule of the calendar, managers may achieve a greater sense of control over their time. Nevertheless, despite their strategies and resistance, the machinery of meetings is hard to stop due to an Eigendynamik of meetings.

Allvarliga kränkningar av den akademiska friheten förekommer idag i flera av Europarådets medlemsstater och det är ofta samhällsvetenskaperna som utgör måltavlan. Situationen är särskilt allvarlig i Turkiet där tusentals universitetslärare avskedats. Intervjuer med avskedade turkiska samhällsvetare och samhällsvetare som lever under hot om avsked ger en sammansatt bild: här finns både resignation och motstånd.
A Prospective Study On Utility Of Cbnaat In Enhancing Tb Case Detection In Pediatric Household Contacts Of Pulmonary Positive Tb Patients
Authors: Kaur Kulwinder
Published: May 2022

Background: Burden of childhood TB is a very important measure of TB control in a community as it reflects recent transmission. CBNAAT assay is a rapid test which identifies both the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Rifampicin resistance associated with mutation of rpoB gene in a single test.

Objectives: To evaluate the utility of CBNAAT in enhancing TB case detection in pediatric household contacts of pulmonary positive TB patients.

Materials and Methods: It was an observational prospective study including 200 contacts from July 2019 to June 2020 on pediatric household contacts (0- 18 years) of diagnosed pulmonary positive TB patients.

Result: Out of 200 pediatric contacts, 25 came out to be positive for tuberculosis by ZN staining and 67 were CBNAAT positive for tuberculosis which was found to be statistically significant. Out of 36 extra pulmonary tubercular cases, 26 (38.81%) were abdominal tuberculosis, 5 (7.46%) were CNS tuberculosis, 4 (5.97%) miliary and 1 (1.49%) of pleural etiology. Out of 67 CBNAAT positive contacts, 8(11.94%) were found to be resistant to Rifampicin.

Conclusion: CBNAAT is an effective tool for rapid detection of tuberculosis and can revolutionise the scenario in prevention and management of tuberculosis which identifies both the presence of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis and Rifampicin resistance.
The Effects Of The Covid-19 Pandemic And Covid-19 Measures On University Students Related To Levels Of Anxiety And Depression
Authors: Barc Esma Deniz
Published: May 2022

Introduction: Epidemics are infectious diseases. Pandemic is defined as epidemic diseases that spread to many continents and cause fatal cases on humans and animals. Although most infectious diseases can be transmitted to humans or animals in one or more ways, the priority in the fight against Covid-19 is to avoid contact and contamination routes, to protect the areas of the body that are open to contamination, and to effectively disinfect. The quarantine environment, which is taken as a precautionary measure to protect against Covid-19, affects human psychology and leads to the emergence of some situations. It is aimed to examine the relationship between the depression and anxiety levels seen in university students and the measures taken with the Covid-19 pandemic, taking into account the demographic variables.

Materials and Methods: It was conducted as a descriptive study at a foundation university in Ankara between July-December 2020. “Sociodemographic Data Collection Form”, “Covid-19 Isolation Process Examining Questionnaire” and “Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale” were used to collect data. Due to the Covid-19 street restrictions and to reduce contact, data were collected by using "Google Forms" and sharing links to students via mail and WhatsApp groups. Data analysis was done using SPSS 25.0 package program, p<0.05 was considered significant.

Results: In the results of the study, it was observed that the anxiety levels of the students were 15.45 ± 4.50, and the depression levels were 10.85 ± 3.06. The level of being affected by Covid-19 was found to be 68.43 ± 11.91. It was determined that there was a weak and negative significant relationship between the level of being affected by Covid-19 and anxiety levels (p=0.01). It was determined that there was a weak and negative significant relationship between the students' level of being affected by Covid-19 and their depression levels (p=0.01).

Conclusion: It can be stated that students who are less affected by Covid-19 will have higher levels of anxiety and depression. Due to the uncertainty when the Covid-19 pandemic first emerged, it was thought that there was a weak negative significant relationship between Covid-19 and anxiety and depression levels. It is recommended that the study be conducted with more students in similar sample groups.
Hyperoxia In Covid-19 Pneumonia: Deliverance Or Doom
Authors: Sharma Amit
Published: May 2022

Oxygen supplementation is a lifesaving therapy for numerous diseases of the respiratory system. Today our world is fighting against one of the deadliest Pandemic of the Virus SARS-CoV2. The virus commonly called Covid-19 most commonly targets the respiratory system and which in rare cases may cause severe pneumonia with ARDS and oxygen is vital for survival in such cases. Any treatment if given in excess can cause harm and oxygen is no exception. The aim of this short review is to create awareness about the possible dangers associated with excessive administration of oxygen to patients. It is an attempt only to sensitize the medical field about the risks of oxygen therapy especially beyond and above what is required. However, the points emphasized are not conclusive and the author’s own perspectives and observations are subject to influence of bias and prejudice both of which are very human attributes. Further detailed trials are needed to assess the possible adverse effects of hyperoxia on Covid-19 patients.

It is minimally invasive procedure through which the impulse generator and the pacemaker leads are implanted in the Human Body. The Pacemaker can be temporary or Permanent depending on the signs and symptoms of the Patient. The main function of the pacemaker is to maintain the rhythm of the heart. Some patients might faint under the stress conditions whereas in some heart beats very fast. To avoid major risks associated with the erratic rhythm of the heart, Pacemakers are implanted. These are externally programmable devices which provides optimal pacing to imitates the natural contraction and relaxation of the heart.
Cancer Treatment: Past, Present And Future
Authors: Fischer Klein M
Published: May 2022

In the world, cancer is the second-leading cause of death. Most of the time, it is caused by uncontrolled cell growth and no cell death. This results in an "abnormal cell mass," or tumor. Cancer treatment is improving day by day. The growth of new blood vessels helps the growth of tumors, and over time, this primary tumor can spread to other parts of the body and become a metastasis. Cancer is caused by genetic mutations and damage to cells' genetic material, which are the main reasons.

Cancers that are not spread to other body parts are usually treated with surgery and radiotherapy. Still, cancer spreads are typically treated with anti-cancer drugs, like chemotherapy (and hormone and biological therapies). Chemotherapy stops cancerous cells from increasing, but it can also harm healthy cells in the hair follicles, bone marrow, and intestines. This causes many of chemotherapy's well-known side effects, like hair loss.
The Use Of A Synthetic Putty Graft In Extraction Sockets Combined With Immediate Implant Installation: 3 Cases
Authors: Boogaard Maarten J
Published: May 2022

In these three different cases, synthetic putty graft material has proven to be a reliable alternative to autologous bone for implant placement, directly into the anterior extraction socket of the maxilla. This study presents three different patients who require implants in the anterior maxilla. Immediate implant placement was the treatment solution of choice. Because the aesthetic expectations and the initial screw-in torque are different however, a differentiation between direct loading, a phase 1 or a phase 2 approaches was made. Clinical results show that synthetic putty is an effective alternative to transplantations with xenograft or allogeneic graft materials in single-phase, two-phase, and direct loading.
Correlation Between Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (Ffa), Optical Coherence Tomography (Oct) And Visual Acuity In Eyes With Broken Foveal Avascular Zone (Faz)
Authors: Mukherjee Sujoy
Published: May 2022

Purpose: To identify the correlation between the broken foveal avascular zone (FAZ) on fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) with the outer retinal changes on the optical coherence tomography (OCT) and its relationship with visual acuity.

Methods: The study included the patients with diabetic retinopathy, non-proliferative and proliferative, with broken FAZ on FFA, and were compared with the controls selected from the eyes without retinopathy and intact FAZ. The OCT scanning with enhanced depth imaging (EDI) through the area of broken FAZ was reviewed.

Results: Thirty eyes (mean age 51+12.92 years) with broken FAZ were included-18 eyes showed broken inner segment- outer segment (IS-OS) on OCT (p=0.21). Mean diabetic age was 8.3+4.01 years. Eight eyes in the study group had >20/30 best-corrected visual acuity (p=0.26). Macular thickness and visual acuity did not have a linear correlation. The duration of diabetes had a significant correlation with broken IS-OS junction (p=0.004).

The odds of poor vision with broken FAZ were 2.5 (95% CI 0.5-12.4). The positive predictive value (PPV) of disrupted IS-OS junction in broken FAZ was 47.37% (95% CI (range 30.98% to 64.18%) and the negative predictive value (NPV) of intact IS-OS junction in broken FAZ was 50% (95% CI range 29.12% to 70.88%). The combined PPV of poor vision (<20/40) and longer diabetic duration (>9 years) was 88.89% (range 51.75% to 99.72%) and the NPV was 100% (range 71.51% to 100%).

Conclusion: Disrupted IS-OS junction could indicate an ischemic macula, but correlation with visual acuity is important.

This trend is on the increase and it is a potential threat to healthcare services. In Nigeria, general hospitals with large number of patients have cases where patients may not be attended to on time. The consequences of keeping patients in a queue for too long in order to get medical care can cause a slew of problems or even lead to death. In this study, the multiple servers queuing models were used to analyze service efficiency of the Ahamadu Bello University Teaching Hospital Zaria, Kaduna State. Primary data was collected through observation and questionnaire methods at the hospital over a two-week period to determine the queuing model that minimizes patients waiting time. The results showed that a significant percentage of the patients were not satisfied with how queues management strategies put in place by the hospital. Regression analysis shows that all the dimensions of service quality have significant positive relationship with the patient’s satisfaction.
