Introduction: Anxiety is one of the common problems among patients before undergoing invasive diagnostic techniques. One of these diagnostic techniques is gastrointestinal endoscopy. Aromatherapy is one of the complementary therapies to reduce anxiety. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of aromatherapy with Damask rose on the anxiety of the patients before undergoing endoscopy. Materials and methods: This study is a clinical trial performed on patients referred to the Endoscopy Department of one of the educational and therapeutic centers in Rasht City, Iran, in 2019. The study sample was 70 patients divided into the intervention and control groups. After giving the informed consent form, the samples completed the demographic information questionnaire and Spielberger anxiety questionnaire. The intervention group received aromatherapy with 10% Damask rose essential oil, and the control group received aromatherapy with a placebo for 30 minutes. The anxiety questionnaire was completed again 30 minutes after aromatherapy. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics (the paired t test, Chi-square, independent t test, and covariance test). Results: Results showed that the mean ± SD age of participants was 41.05 ±13.15 years in the intervention (ranged 22-65 years) and 45.82 ±16.81 years in the control groups. Most participants were female (57.1%). After the intervention, the mean score of anxiety in the aromatherapy group (39.88±11.51) was lower than that in the control group with placebo (49.94±12.30), which was statistically significant (P=0.001). Because of significant differences in hospitalization history between the two study groups before the intervention, the covariance test was performed. The results showed no interaction between aromatherapy and hospitalization history. So it seems that the hospitalization variable did not affect post-intervention anxiety. Conclusions: This study showed that aromatherapy with Damask rose essential oil was effective on pre-endoscopic anxiety of the patients. Since complementary medicine is increasingly practiced in nursing care, Damask rose aromatherapy, because of its low cost, safety and simplicity, can be used as a complementary measure to reduce anxiety in patients before endoscopy. However, more studies with intervention, control, and routine groups are needed to confirm the effectiveness of aromatherapy in endoscopy.

Published: July 2021

Introdução: A dor é um dos sintomas mais prevalentes entre pacientes em cuidado paliativo (CP), especialmente no câncer avançado, gerando impactos nocivos na qualidade de vida. Objetivo: Avaliar o tempo necessário para o controle da dor e sua influência no tempo de internação de pacientes em CP. Método: Trata-se de uma análise post hoc do estudo de perfil da internação hospitalar em um hospital público de cuidado paliativo oncológico no Rio de Janeiro, entre setembro e novembro de 2016. As internações foram acompanhadas longitudinalmente por revisão de prontuário com coleta diária da Escala Verbal Numérica (EVN). A dor foi considerada controlada quando a EVN era zero. Entre aqueles que internaram com dor não controlada, foi calculado o tempo necessário para controle do sintoma. Resultados: Ocorreram 429 episódios de internações com a presença do sintoma dor (controlada ou não). A duração da internação foi maior nas internações com o sintoma dor presente (8,2 dias contra 6,3 dias sem dor). A dor não estava controlada na admissão em 33% dos episódios. O tempo médio para o controle da dor foi 2,1 dias. Tanto a dor sem controle ao internar quanto a demora em mais de 24 horas para o seu controle estavam associadas ao tempo médio de internação mais prolongado: 7,9; 9,5; 8,7 e 11,2 dias respectivamente. Conclusão: Os achados ratificam a alta prevalência da dor entre os pacientes em CP oncológico, seu impacto em motivar e prolongar uma internação hospitalar, e a importância da ação de uma equipe especializada.

PEREMPUAN URBAN DAN BUDAYA KONSUMEN DALAM KUMPULAN CERPEN METROPOP AUTUMN ONE MORE KARYA ILANA TAN DKK
Authors: Intan Tania
Published: July 2021

Genre metropop yang muncul pada pertengahan tahun 2000an mengisahkan cerita tentang perempuan yang tinggal di kota besar dengan permasalahan hidupnya di seputar percintaan, pekerjaan, dan persahabatan. Penelitian ini ditujukan untuk mengelaborasi profil tokoh perempuan dan budaya konsumen yang mereka geluti dalam enam cerpen yang dipilih dari antologi cerpen metropop berjudul Autumn Once More karya Ilana Tan dan para penulis perempuan lainnya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan pendekatan gender. Data yang dikutip dari enam cerpen terpilih dikumpulkan dengan teknik simak catat. Data selanjutnya dikategorisasi, diinterpretasi, dan dianalisis, untuk kemudian ditarik simpulan. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan bahwa elemen-elemen naratif dari setiap cerpen mendukung gagasan tentang representasi perempuan urban yang ingin ditampilkan oleh pengarang. Profil perempuan urban yang direpresentasikan oleh para tokoh utama dalam cerpen dibangun melalui seksualitas dan subjektifitas mereka yang didukung oleh privilege berupa kelajangan, kemandirian, dan kemapanan secara finansial. Namun, tetap saja ada stereotip dan norma-norma berupa konstruksi sosial-budaya yang membatasi perempuan urban. Perempuan urban juga tidak dapat melepaskan diri dari budaya konsumen karena daya tarik modernitas dan realita urban mendorong mereka untuk bersikap konsumtif sebagai bentuk pemanjaan diri serta upaya meraih citra seksual sebagaimana yang diinginkan.

50 short case studies in business management
Authors: Kumar M. Dileep
Published: July 2021

The Higher Education Institutions that run business management programs in Malaysia is under severe criticism from industry that the passing out management graduates do not have adequate practical exposure to the industry and lack of practical skills to deal industrial issues proactively as the catalyst of change.This indicates that the traditional management education curriculum, as presently constituted, may not be adequately preparing individuals for the challenges they experience as professional managers.To deal with this issue, many management institutes are adopting case study as a pedagogy, a hypothetical or actual business situation to formulate a recommended policy or decision based on the facts and figures provided, to induce practical exposure to the students by simulating case situations, which improve students analytical skills and decision-making skills.A case study in business management course is a rigorous analysis of an incident, situation, person, crisis or any such phenomenon or concept, in relation to industry, business or people in the organisations.It is well related to the management, process or methodology adopted by the organisation stressing analysis of chain of events for better change management in relation to business operation context. The case studies included in this book provides better perspective of various issues and situations in the business field.The cases are written from the field of Organisational Behaviour, Human Resource Management, Marketing, Business Ethics, International Business, Strategic Management, Business Laws and General Management. These case studies are to be thoroughly analyzed by the faculty members before applying that into the classroom. It is expected that the faculty members should refer to the similar case scenarios at local and international levels to stimulate students to have better discussion on the multifaceted issues or situation. Instead of a direct entry into theoretical concepts, the author suggests that the faculty members distribute these cases well in advance and invite students to come for creative discussions and practical solutions.By preparing solutions to case studies, the students will be exposed to a variety of business operations, business process, management roles, and business situations.Thus the case studies can adequately integrate theoretical concepts effortlessly in realistic situations with better referential skills.The 50 cases included in this book can extremely be valuable in preparing students a career in industry by giving better chance to develop analytical and decision-making skills in the classroom that meet up the challenges of industry.

Infrastructure procurement framework for local authority
Authors: Salleh Dani , Ismail Mazlan
Published: July 2021

The spread of infrastructure requirements and variety in mechanisms used to secure contributions (infrastructure provision) from private sector was a reflection of the institutional framework in planning system.The study has identified that although both private and local authorities have a good understanding of the fundamental of concept of local infrastructure provision and the arguments for and against the use of private provision, there are still considerable areas of uncertainty surrounding the precise definition (as prescribed in the relevant legislations) and measurements of the key elements pertaining to local infrastructure.The findings revealed that the previous studies has tended to examine the nature of the practice of the infrastructure delivery within the framework of national economy and very little focus has been given to a comprehensive examination on how private developers can be involved in local infrastructure development.The primary problem is that there is no single framework available at the local level that might be considered or applied to secure infrastructure from private developers.The study then provides the parameters for securing contributions towards infrastructure provision. To achieve a complete understanding of this issue, it is necessary to appreciate the broader picture of what is required in terms of infrastructure for the operation of the urban environment.

Filem Melayu: Citra Budaya dan Rakaman Sejarah
Authors: Shamsudin Jins
Published: July 2021

Dunia perfileman Melayu telah bermula pada tahun 1933 di Singapura dengan penayangan filem Laila Majnun. Sejak itu, filem Melayu mula mengambil alih peranan bangsawan sebagai medium budaya popular yang utama dalam kalangan masyarakat Melayu bandaran.

Setelah terjejas akibat Perang Dunia Kedua, perusahaan filem Melayu berkembang dengan pesat pada dekad 1940-an hinggalah dekad 1960-an. Pada waktu tersebut, filem Melayu yang berpangkalan di Singapura didominasi oleh dua buah syarikat iaitu Shaw Brothers dan Cathay-Keris Films yang menerbitkan dan menayangkan filem untuk seluruh Tanah Melayu, selatan Thailand dan sesetengah tempat di Indonesia.

Buku ini memuatkan analisis cerminan budaya, sosial dan sejarah yang terpancar daripada filem Melayu. Ditulis oleh seorang tokoh penting dalam sejarah perfileman negara, buku ini memberikan tumpuan terhadap zaman kegemilangan industri filem tempatan, iaitu antara tahun 1930-an hingga 1960-an.

Penulis berusaha untuk mengenal pasti sejauh mana filem Melayu memaparkan budaya dan sejarah negara. Di samping memuatkan pelbagai persoalan budaya dan sejarah, aspek bahasa juga merupakan elemen ketara yang termuat dalam filem-filem tersebut. Persoalan budaya yang dibicarakan meliputi aspek sosiobudaya, sosiopolitik dan sosioekonomi.

Adab-adab sebelum suluk berfungsi sebagai panduan pertama sebelum menempuh latihan suluk dan memudahkan para pengikutnya mematuhi disiplin yang disusun secara terfokus.

Buku ini menjelaskan tentang adab-adab sebelum suluk yang telah digaris dan dipraktiskan dalam kalangan murid dan guru yang mempunyai urutan salasilah tarekat daripada Sheikh Abdul Wahab Rokan. Penilaian terhadap adab-adab tersebut dilakukan dengan merujuk kepada bukti-bukti daripada al-Quran, hadis, pendapat tokoh sufi dan para ulama terdahulu. Setiap adab tersebut dicerakin mengikut urutan atau prosedur yang sama bagi mencari kesahihan hukum pada pandangan syarak. Konsep-konsep yang diutarakan boleh dijadikan panduan dan penambahan ilmu pengetahuan untuk memahami konsep tasawuf secara bersama.

Kehadiran buku ini adalah sebagai bacaan tambahan tentang pendidikan tarekat dan disiplin tasawuf. Namun perbezaan yang ketara antara buku ini dengan koleksi bacaan yang sedia ada ialah pendedahan tentang kedudukan adab-adab suluk pada pandangan syarak yang telah membawa kejayaan besar kepada Sheikh Abdul Wahab Rokan dalam usaha membentuk akhlak masyarakat

Authors: Jamaluddin Zakiah
Published: July 2021

Buku ini membincangkan tentang perancangan terhadap program-program pembangunan yang dijalankan serta program pembangunan yang dilaksanakan terhadap sesuatu komuniti terpilih. Buku-buku yang membincangkan komuniti sebelum ini kebanyakannya hanya menumpukan kepada isu-isu pembangunan yang dijalankan oleh pihak kerajaan, swasta atau agensi-agensi tertentu secara global mahupun di peringkat lokaliti. Namun demikian buku ini lebih menumpukan kepada aspek sumbangan bidang sosiologi, psikologi dan kerja sosial terhadap pembangunan komuniti.

Beberapa program yang dijalankan melibatkan bantuan kebajikan terhadap komuniti miskin, program ICT, pembangunan komuniti Orang Asli, serta pemulihan dalam komuniti yang melibatkan penagih dadah, pesakit mental dan remaja bermasalah.

Buku ini diharap dapat memperkayakan ilmu dalam bidang sains sosial yang merangkumi bidang antropologi, sosiologi, psikologi, kerja sosial, polisi dan pembangunan. Ia juga diharap dapat menambah bahan rujukan kepada para pengkaji komuniti, pensyarah, pelajar Institusi Pengajian Tinggi, perancang bandar dan luar bandar, pihak badan bukan kerajaan (NGO), pengamal kerja sosial dan pembuat polisi.
Basic discrete structures
Authors: Din Roshidi , Kamaruddin Siti Sakira , Amphawan Angela , Omar Mohd Nizam
Published: July 2021

Digital technology has pervaded almost all spheres of life.Due to the importance of discrete information in our increasingly digital world, familiarity with the underlying principles, concepts and operations on discrete information is inevitable.This book is intended as a basic course for introducing students to abstract mathematical structures to represent discrete information and relationships between them.These discrete structures include sets, sequences, permutations, combinations, functions, trees and finite-state machines which are predominantly used in computer science and data networking, and extended to fields which involve the organization, computation or optimization of objects from a large data set such as to botany, geography, chemistry, genetics, zoology, finance and linguistics. While the book is light, a good balance is struck between the teaching of basic concepts and the exposure to practical applications to demonstrate the relevance and practicality of discrete structures in modeling and solving real-world problems.
