La naissance de l’enfant rouge vif
Authors: Colonna Marie-Laure
Published: December 2022

L’inceste, qu’il soit passé à l’acte, pathologique, ou symbolique comme dans la relation transférentielle, ou encore archétypique, comme dans la relation directe du moi avec des figures de la psyché objective, relève du motif central de la conjonction et donc d’une clinique du soi. Trois exemples tentent d’illustrer cette approche étroitement liée à la spécificité de la psychologie jungienne, mais incluant également les apports de la théorie freudienne dans un ensemble en « poupées russes » comprenant différents degrés symboliques et donc différents niveaux d’interprétation.
Perversion féminine : scènes et stratégies dans l’analyse et la culture
Authors: Springer Anne , Dorly Claire , Gallard Martine
Published: December 2022

Après avoir évoqué les différences entre Freud et Jung à propos de la perversion, l’auteur part de l’hypothèse que cette dernière peut être souvent comprise comme une défense du soi, une façon défensive de réaliser une fausse totalité, une pseudo-androgynie. Dans l’étude de cas qu’elle présente, l’auteur analyse les composantes et la dynamique d’un transfert pervers. Elle relève le rôle important joué par une mère ayant sexuellement stimulé sa fille pendant l’enfance. Enfin, elle s’interroge sur la façon dont notre culture masque éventuellement sa peur de la diversité des modes de construction de l’identité derrière une conception trop tranchée de la séparation des sexes.
Sara et ses sœurs
Authors: Gallard Martine
Published: December 2022

Un cas clinique d’inceste du deuxième type éclaire les thèses de Françoise Héritier dans Les deux sœurs et leur mère . Il conforte l’idée de Jung selon laquelle l’inceste primordial est l’inceste avec la mère. Cet exemple montre les qualités paradoxales de l’endogamie, de la libido de parenté , quand elle est à sa juste place.
À la recherche de l’amour pour le père
Authors: Bovensiepen Gustav , Mingam Anne , Vieljeux Juliette
Published: December 2022

Après avoir développé les notions d’identification obtrusive et de claustrum , propres à Meltzer, l’auteur illustre à l’aide d’un cas clinique d’adolescent comment se vivent et se transforment dans le transfert ce type d’identification projective et la relation au couple des parents intérieurs.
Transsexualisme, sexuation et contre-transfert
Authors: Mignet Mariette
Published: December 2022

L’auteur met en scène le contre-transfert très particulier devant un transsexuel ; en effet, s’il veut accompagner le cheminement de son patient, l’analyste se sent confronté à ses origines sexuelle et sexuée. Cet article tente l’étude du processus de différenciation à partir de la régression dans le sens jungien, et est donc centré sur l’archétype de l’androgyne.
Homosexualités : l’impossible différenciation
Authors: Léa-Hauteville Andrée
Published: December 2022

La clinique confirme les théories de Jung et de Neumann selon lesquelles l’identité sexuée est antérieure au complexe d’Œdipe et se détermine dans le vécu des premiers liens avec le maternel. L’homosexualité, féminine ou masculine, témoigne des difficultés pour l’individu à renoncer à ces stades archaïques dominés par l’inconscient donc par la confusion et l’indifférencié et s’inscrit au titre d’une solution de survie.
L’étranger familier
Authors: Agnel Aimé
Published: December 2022

Jung a eu recours à la typologie pour classer les contenus de l’inconscient collectif qu’il venait de découvrir. Il a utilisé ensuite, à partir des années quarante, la notion de champ archétypique (relationnel et énergétique), en mettant l’accent sur la dynamique des contraires. En s’inspirant de cette notion de champ, l’auteur montre le rôle actif, dans la relation transférentielle, des opposés « étranger » et « familier » — définis, l’un et l’autre, par des valeurs antinomiques —, et il étudie les conditions thérapeutiques du « passage » d’un pôle à l’autre, dans les cas névrotiques et borderline. Les exemples cliniques sont empruntés au livre de Théodore Flournoy, Des Indes à la planète Mars , et à deux films : Théorème de Pasolini et Hiroshima mon amour d’Alain Resnais et Marguerite Duras.

Authors: Treme Julia , Quick Christina
Published: December 2022

Background:

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are traumatic events occurring in childhood that can have severe effects on health throughout the life span. Quality nursing care includes the knowledge and skills to recognize patients who were exposed to ACEs and respond appropriately.

Method:

A scoping review of the literature was conducted as the foundation for implementing ACEs into baccalaureate nursing curricula.

Results:

A total of 22 articles were examined and included 15 research studies, two literature reviews, one quality improvement project, and four discussion articles. The literature reflects a prevalence for case-based ACEs content and the importance of student safety measures during content implementation.

Conclusion:

Knowledge derived from this review can assist nursing educators to integrate ACEs education into baccalaureate nursing curricula and identify research areas for further investigation.

Authors: Leyva-Moral Juan M. , Rafael-Gutiérrez Sabiniana San , Aguayo-Gonzalez Mariela , Guevara-Vásquez Génesis , Gómez-Ibáñez Rebeca
Published: December 2022

Background:

Narrative photography is a method that can enhance nursing students' empathy when caring for individuals with HIV.

Method:

This quasiexperimental pre-test-posttest study included 28 first-year nursing students from a public university in Barcelona, Spain. Empathy was assessed using the Spanish validated version of the Interpersonal Reactivity Index.

Results:

Empathy scores were higher in the intervention group (
p
= .01). Women scored higher on empathy and also on the fantasy, empathic concern, and personal distress dimensions. A significant relationship was found between the perspective taking dimension and students choosing nursing as their first option at university. Having no experience in the health field was associated with higher scores on the empathic concern dimension (
p
= .027).

Conclusion:

Narrative photography is an effective learning method to promote nursing students' empathy when caring for individuals with HIV.

Blow-up dynamic of solution to the semilinear Moore-Gibson-Thompson equation with memory terms
Authors: Ming Sen , Fan Xiongmei , Ren Cui , Su Yeqin
Published: December 2022

This article is mainly concerned with the formation of singularity for a solution to the Cauchy problem of the semilinear Moore-Gibson-Thompson equation with general initial values and different types of nonlinear memory terms $ N_{\gamma, \, q}(u) $, $ N_{\gamma, \, p}(u_{t}) $, $ N_{\gamma, \, p, \, q}(u, \, u_{t}) $. The proof of the blow-up phenomenon for the solution in the whole space is based on the test function method ($ \psi(x, t) = \varphi_{R}(x)D_{t|T}^{\alpha}(w(t)) $). It is worth pointing out that the Moore-Gibson-Thompson equation with memory terms can be regarded as an approximation of the nonlinear Moore-Gibson-Thompson equation when $ \gamma\rightarrow 1^{-} $. To the best of our knowledge, the results in Theorems 1.1–1.3 are new.
Combine influence of Hall effects and viscous dissipation on the motion of ethylene glycol conveying alumina, silica and titania nanoparticles using the non-Newtonian Casson model
Authors: Nazir Umar , Mukdasai Kanit
Published: December 2022

A vital role of ternary hybrid nanofluid is visualized as a significant improvement of thermal performance and enhancement in thermal rate which is applicable in automobiles for coolant process, thermodynamics of fuel. This process of ternary hybrid nanofluid is utilized to enhance maximum performance of thermal energy and applicable in chemical products, solar power, melting process, wire paintings, biological products, solar system, cooling process, glasses melting, glass fiber, metal grinding etc. Three-dimensional motion of ternary hybrid nanoparticles in partially Casson fluid over a vertical stretching surface is addressed using Darcy's Forchheirmer theory. Further, effects of Joule heating, non-uniform thermal radiation and viscous dissipation are considered in the energy equation and motion of ethylene glycol contains alumina, silica, and titania nanoparticles with various shape effects. Similarity variables are utilized to derive the system of ODEs from PDEs. A system of ODEs is numerically solved by a finite element method. It was concluded that the thermal field for platelet nanoparticles is greater than the thermal field for cylindrical nanoparticles. Nusselt number increases versus change in ion slip, Hall and magnetic parameters. Maximum production of heat energy is obtained for the case of tri-hybrid nanomaterial rather than for the case of hybrid nanomaterial.

The large landowner as a visionary planner
Authors: Sadoux Stéphane
Published: December 2022

The role of large landowners in planning processes has been largely ignored by scholars. This paper aims to fill part of the gap in literature. It focuses on a range of initiatives led by Lord Salisbury in the county of Hertfordshire. It seeks to show that these actions should be examined in the light of strategic planning issues due to the housing shortage, as large landowners are engaged in debates that occur upstream, well before construction effectively takes place. The paper also aims to demonstrate that Lord Salisbury’s initiatives are best understood when they are seen to exemplify a particular vision of human settlements. From a strategic point of view, this view involves the promotion of new settlements as a way of addressing the housing crisis and can thus be seen as a contemporary manifestation of Britain’s long tradition of planned communities. In design terms, it promotes traditional architecture and urbanism. The paper insists on the importance of the networks of stakeholders who share these views, and of the methods that allow them to be implemented.
La notion de trajectoire pour (re)penser dispositif de formation et accompagnement personnalisé des étudiants internationaux en contexte (post)pandémique. Étude de cas de trois trajectoires d’étudiantes en exil
Authors: Rosen-Reinhardt Évelyne , Porquier Rémy
Published: December 2022

Le processus d’appropriation de langues étrangères dépasse le cadre d’un cours ou d’un programme sur une période plus ou moins limitée. La notion de trajectoire d’appropriation fournit des jalons pour explorer la diversité de parcours longs. Il s’agit en effet d’observer et d’étudier la succession et l’imbrication des expériences d’appropriation linguistique vécues par des individus pour mettre en évidence une perception dynamique et évolutive du sujet apprenant dans la complexité et la variété de ses contacts avec une/des langue(s) étrangère(s). Cette perspective, partiellement abordée par les travaux sur la mobilité et sur les biographies langagières, implique également la prise en compte des projets, des perspectives et des attentes, appréhendées à un moment T de la trajectoire.Les entretiens non directifs menés ici auprès de trois étudiantes en exil de l’Université de Lille, dans le cadre d’un dispositif de formation de type atelier de conversation, fournissent à la fois des données et des pistes pour (re)penser ce dispositif de formation et tendre vers un accompagnement – encore plus – personnalisé en contexte (post)pandémique.
Cours hybride et pédagogie différenciée en classe de FLE multi-niveaux
Authors: Pouzergues Paul , David Catherine , Gala Núria
Published: December 2022

Cet article interroge la pertinence d’une formation hybride pour répondre au défi de l’hétérogénéité dans une classe de FLE composée de huit doctorants multilingues et multi-niveaux (A0-B2). Nous avons fait l’hypothèse qu’une démarche de pédagogie différenciée soutenue par un dispositif hybride autonomisant orienté vers un projet permettrait de répondre à l’hétérogénéité sociale, cognitive et linguistique des apprenants. Afin d’encourager l’autonomie des apprenants, la réorganisation de séquences didactiques multi-niveaux est associée à des activités métacognitives elles-mêmes reliées à des interactions sociales avec l’enseignant, entre pairs ou avec une communauté (web social). Notre analyse porte sur l’appréciation, par les étudiants, de la classe multi-niveaux, du dispositif hybride et de la pédagogie de projet. Elle croise deux corpus : les réponses à deux questionnaires proposés au début et à la fin de la session et trois entretiens conseils réalisés auprès des apprenants au début, au milieu et à la fin du cours.

Published: December 2022

Consuming adequate intake of fiber from fruit and vegetable is important to prevent metabolic disease. However consumption of fruit and vegetable in Indonesia still less than recommendation. Smoothies fortified with chia seeds has been develop to help achive adequate intake of fruit and vegetable. The objection of this study was to investigating proximate analysis and fiber content of smoothies fortified with various amount of chia seed (0 g, 2.5 g, 5 g and 7.5 g). This was a quantitative study with experimental design using four treatments. Proximat analysis perfomed with Gravimetry, Kjedahl, Soxhlet method for water and ash content, protein and lipid content. Carbohydrate content was test using by difference method. The addition of chia seeds increased the level of crude protein, lipids, carbohydrate and dietary fiber. Fortification of chia seeds in smoothies has improved nutritional content in our product and it became alternative ways to provide adequate intake of dietary fiber.

Published: December 2022

Postpartum depression is a phenomenon that occurs in the first postpartum days. Symptoms of postpartum depression peak on days 3 to 5 postpartum with a duration ranging from a few hours to several days. Of course, this will be different during the Covid-19 pandemic. The aim of this study was to analyze the determinants that influence the incidence of post-partum depression in primary health during the pandemic. The method in this research is descriptive analysis with cross sectional approach with a total sample of 100 respondents. The research instrument used a standard instrument, namely the EPDS (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale) instrument. The results of the study were the determinant factors of parity in primigravida and attitudes. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that the dominant factors that greatly influence the risk of post-partum depression in women in primary health during the pandemic are parity (primigravida) and the attitude of women who take it for granted when they know that they are at risk of post-partum depression.

Published: December 2022

The prevalence of teen smokers has increased during the Covid-19 pandemic. Smoking behavior occurs due to exposure to advertising and the promotion of cigarettes. This quantitative research was conducted using cross-sectional approach. The purpose of the study was to analyze the relationship between advertising exposure and cigarette promotion on adolescent smoking behavior in Malang Regency during the pandemic using the chi-square test. Random sampling on students from several high schools or equal degree in the Kepanjen District was done with a total of 145 respondents. The results showed that there was no significant relationship between age, types of cigarette advertising media at the point of sale, outdoor media, social media, internet, and newspapers or magazines by adolescent smoking behavior during the Covid-19 pandemic (p-value > 0.05). Exposure to cigarette advertisements on television, total exposure to cigarette advertisements, cigarette promotion, and gender had a significant relationship with adolescent smoking behavior during the pandemic (p value < 0.05). Adolescents are quite highly exposed to the various types of advertisements and promotions of cigarettes that can influence increased smoking behavior during the pandemic.

Published: December 2022

High sugary beverages have recently gained popularity among young adults. This research aimed to determine the association between smartphone usage and dietary consumption of Sugar-Sweetened Beverages among young female adults in Indonesia. This cross-sectional study conducted an online survey in Malang City. There were 217 female university students aged 18-25 years old who were eligible as participants. The dependent variable was a preference for SSBs consumption, while the independent variables included sociodemographics, BMI, food allergies, smartphone usage, and dietary habits. Chi-square and binary logistics were used to analyse the association between independent variables and SSBs. The results showed that 62.2% of respondents preferred to consume SSBs, and 12.9% of participants were classified as overnutrition (BMI25). More than half of the respondents had breakfast every day, and a majority of them like to consume high carbohydrates (96.8%) and high-sugar snacks (55.3%). The binary logistic regression showed an association between BMI status, breakfast consumption, watching movies, and eating frequency with high sugar beverage consumption preference (p0.05). Reducing sugar beverages consumption intervention should consider using media accessible with smartphone.

Self-care management is the way to prevent the complication in diabetes. However, adherence to self-care management is low. This study aims to assess the association of personal characteristics, supports the system, including families and community, with the self-care behavior among diabetes patients. A cross-sectional study was used in this research. 158 participants were randomly selected based on the primary health care database in Malang City, Indonesia. There are eight parts of the questionnaire as the instruments in this study. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the association of all independent variables with self-care behavior as a dependent variable. This study showed that 60.80% of respondents had complications while the less practicing self-care behavior was 46.84%. Furthermore, the ordinal regression logistic showed that duration of DM (OR:4.347, 95%CI 1.671-11.310), illness perception (OR: 0.028, 95%CI 6.090- 51.346), family supports (OR: 3.295, 95%CI 1.325-8.192), and community supports (2.802, 95%CI 1.209-6.493) were associated with self-care behavior among diabetes Mellitus. This finding can support the primary health care to involved family and community around diabetes patients to success the self-care management.
Physical inactivity and chronic diseases among disabled adults in Indonesia
Authors: Tama Tika Dwi , Astutik Erni
Published: December 2022

Physical activity is a recognized determinant in preventing non-communicable diseases. However, people with disabilities have more barriers to do physical activity. This study was conducted to assess the physical activity level of disabled adults in Indonesia and its association with chronic diseases. This cross-sectional study used secondary data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) wave 5. As many as 2927 adults with disabilities involved in this study. The International Physical Activity Questionnaires (IPAQ) was used to measure physical activity. Chronic diseases were assessed based on the diagnosed disease records. Univariate, bivariate, and multiple logistic regression were performed to analyse the data. The proportion of low physical activity among adults with disabilities reached 36.2%. The number of persons with disabilities who suffer from chronic diseases was 10.8%. Disabled adults with low physical activity had higher odds of getting chronic diseases than those with moderate-high physical activity (p-value = 0.04; aOR 1.43; 95% CI 1.12-1.84) after being controlled by other covariates. Engaging disabled persons according to the appropriate types of physical activity may reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
A Rare Pathology in Children
Authors: Kuzu Emine Burcu Cigsar , Oztan Mustafa Onur , Koyluoglu Gokhan
Published: December 2022

Aim:

Femoral hernias are uncommon groin pathology among children. The rarity of the pathology results in increased complications, delayed diagnosis and inappropriate inguinal exploration. In this study, we review our experience with this surgical entity over a 10-year period.

Materials and Methods:

The medical records of seven children who underwent femoral hernia repair between January 2010 and January 2021 at a single tertiary centre were retrospectively analysed. Reviewed data included demographics, pre-operative diagnosis, operative technique, complications and follow-up.

Results:

Seven children (5 females [71%] and 2 males [29%]) were operated due to femoral hernia. Median age was 8 years (range: 3–16 years). Four (57%) patients had right-sided femoral hernia and three (43%) were on the left side. The correct pre-operative diagnosis was obtained in three (42%) cases. The remaining four misdiagnosed cases were diagnosed as femoral hernia at the surgery. In all cases, the initial presentation was swelling; two (28%) had inguinal pain and three patients (42%) required emergency inguinal exploration due to suspected incarceration. All patients had repair of their hernia by open technique; the femoral canal was closed by mesh plug or Vicryl sutures. All patients were discharged without complications. No recurrence was detected and the median post-operative follow-up period was 24 months (range: 8–48 months).

Conclusion:

Femoral hernia is a challenging pathology and correct diagnosis requires a high index of clinical suspicion. In equivocal cases, ultrasonography and laparoscopy may be useful. Appropriate pre-operative diagnosis evades complications and delays in treatment. Regardless of the surgical approach recurrences and complications are very rare in children.

Published: December 2022

Background:

Limited literature is available to define the impact of the longus colli muscle, a deep flexor of the spine, on cervical spine stability despite its close proximity to the vertebrae.

Aims and Objectives:

The purpose of this study was to determine if longus colli cross-sectional area (CSA) is associated with the severity preoperative cervical degenerative spondylolisthesis.

Materials and Methods:

Patients undergoing elective anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) for cervical spondylolisthesis between 2010-2021 were retrospectively identified. Longus colli cross-sectional areas (CSA) were measured from preoperative MRI images at the C5 level. Preoperative spondylolisthesis measurements were recorded with cervical radiographs. Patients were grouped by quartiles respectively according to longus colli CSAs. Statistical tests compared patient demographics, surgical characteristics, and surgical outcomes between groups. Multiple linear regression analysis was utilized to assess if longus colli CSA predicted cervical spondylolisthesis.

Results:

A total of 157 patients met inclusion criteria. Group 1 (first quartile) was the oldest (60.4 ± 12.0 years, P = 0.024) and was predominantly female (59.0%, P = 0.001). Group 1 also had the highest maximum spondylolisthesis (0.19 mm, P = 0.031) and highest proportion of grade 2 spondylolisthesis (23.1%, P = 0.003). On regression analysis, lowest quartile of longus colli CSA was an independent predictor of larger measured maximum spondylolisthesis (β: 0.04, P = 0.012).

Conclusion:

Smaller longus colli CSA is independently associated with a higher grade and degree of preoperative cervical spondylolisthesis, but this finding does not result in adverse postsurgical outcomes.
Six-year longitudinal prospective comparative study between preoperative and postoperative heart rate variability indices in congenital craniovertebral junction anomalies
Authors: Siroya Hardik Lalit , Bhat Dhananjaya Ishwar , Devi Bhagavatula Indira , Shukla Dhaval P. , Sathyaprabha Talakad Narasappa , Alekhya Thota Sai Laxmi
Published: December 2022

Background:

Craniovertebral junction (CVJ) anomalies involve mosaic interaction of multifaceted neurovascular and bony elements. Most of them present late in the course of illness usually as acute presentations following trivial trauma. Knowing subclinical autonomic dysfunction in such anomalies when managed medically can not only indicate progression but also provide en route to early intervention for better outcomes, especially in relatively asymptomatic patients.

Materials and Methods:

We conducted a 6-year longitudinal prospective study including 40 consecutive patients of CVJ anomalies with clinical, radiological, and heart rate variability (HRV) parameters and found their correlation in preoperative and follow-up period.

Results:

Twenty-eight patients were male and the rest were female. The mean age was 32 years with the least age being 8 years and maximum age being 75 years old. Mean Nurick's grade and Barthel's index were 1.8 and 83.75, respectively. 38% had severe-to-moderate compression. The mean follow-up was 17.4 months. Both sympathetic and parasympathetic oscillator HRV indices were significantly affected in the preoperative period (P ≤ 0.001) with no association with Nurick's grade or degree of compression although there was association with grade of Barthel's index. Poincare plots showed “fan,” “complex,” or “torpedo” patterns in 36 patients. Forty patients had both preoperative and follow-up clinical grade whereas 22 patients HRV tests in the above periods. None of the HRV indices showed significant improvement at follow-up. Nonetheless both sympathetic and parasympathetic did improve at follow-up with sympathetic tone registering better scores. Poincare plots showed improvement toward “comet” patterns in all patients.

Conclusion:

HRV indices not only help in prognosticating but may also help in predicting outcomes.
Compensatory mechanisms in adult degenerative thoracolumbar spinal deformity – Radiographic patterns, their reversibility after corrective surgery, and the influence of pelvic morphology
Authors: Dietz Nicholas , Gruter Basil Erwin , Nevzati Edin , Cho Samuel K , Farshad Mazda , Williams Brian , Hollis Peter , Spiessberger Alexander
Published: December 2022

Objective:

Loss of lumbar lordosis (LL) in degenerative deformity activates spinal compensatory mechanisms to maintain neutral C7 sagittal vertical axis (C7SVA), such as an increase in pelvic tilt (PT) and decreased thoracic kyphosis (TK). We study the extent to which PT increase and TK reduction contribute to the compensation of pelvic incidence (PI)-LL mismatch.

Methods:

A cohort of 43 adult patients with adult degenerative thoracolumbar deformity were included in this retrospective study. Radiographic spinopelvic measurements were obtained before and after corrective surgery. Pearson correlations were calculated.

Results:

Preoperative PI-LL mismatch significantly correlated with an increase in PT and a decrease in TK in the whole cohort r = +0.66 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.44–0.8) and r = −0.67 (95% CI − 0.81–−0.47), respectively, at a relative rate of 0.37 (standard deviation [SD]: 0.07) and − 0.57 (SD: 0.09), respectively. In patients with low PI, only TK showed a significant correlation with PI-LL mismatch, r = −0.56 (95% CI − 0.8 to − 0.16), at a rate of − 0.57 (SD: 0.19). The high PI subgroup showed a significant correlation with PT, TK, and C7SVA, r = 0.62 (95% CI 0.26–0.82), r = −0.8 (95% CI − 0.9–−0.58), and r = 0.71 (95% CI 0.41–0.87) at rates of 0.48 (SD: 0.11), −0.72 (SD: 0.12), and 0.62 (SD: 1.27).

Conclusions:

Decreased TK represented a more consistent compensatory mechanism in patients with high and low PI when compared to an increase in PT. PI-LL mismatch induced more pronounced changes in TK than did PT in both subgroups. Patients with high PI relied more on increases in PT and a relative decrease in TK to compensate for PI-LL mismatch than patients with low PI.

Günümüzde savunma, havacılık ve uzay sanayinde, otomobil sanayiinde ve çeşitli endüstriyel alanlarda alüminyum alaşımları imalatı büyük önem kazanmıştır. Üretim aşamasında alüminyum malzemelerin birleştirilmesinde kullanılan ergitmeli kaynak yöntemleri problemli ve zordur. Ayrıca, bu alaşımların birbirine benzemeyen metaller ile birleştirilmesinde geleneksel birleştirme yöntemleri katı hal kaynak yöntemleri kadar cevap verememektedir. Alüminyum alaşımlarının düşük yoğunluk, iyi tokluk, kolay şekillendirilebilme, yüksek mekanik özelliklere sahip olması ve hafifliği, işlenebilirliği, yüksek korozyon direnci, yüksek dayanıma sahip olması gibi özelliklerinden dolayı alüminyum alaşımlarının bileştirme tekniklerinde katı hal kaynak yöntemleri önemli bir husustur. Son yıllarda ön planda olan Sürtünme Karıştırma Kaynağı ve Sürtünme Karıştırma Nokta Kaynağının yanı sıra Sürtünme karıştırma ekstrüzyon lehimleme yöntemi güncel kaynak yöntemleri arasına girmiştir. Bu çalışmada, takım ilerleme hızı sabit tutulup bekleme süresi değiştirilerek AA2024-T3/Zn/AA5754-H22 alüminyum alaşımlı levhalar ve ara katman olarak çinko metalleri kullanılarak SKEL yöntemiyle birleştirme yapılmıştır. SKEL yöntemi ile yapılan birleştirmelerde takım ilerleme hızının, karıştırıcı ucun dönme hızının ve takım bekleme süresinin mekanik davranışlar üzerine olan etkisini tespit etmek amacıyla; çekme testi, mikrosertlik testi ve mikroyapı analizleri yapılmıştır. Deneysel çalışmalar sonucunda takım bekleme süresinin artmasıyla mekanik özelliklerde artış elde edilmiştir.

Published: December 2022

Polimerik kaplamalar farklı malzemelere uygulanabilirliği, maliyeti ve etkinliği açısından diğer kaplama tekniklerine göre üstünlüğü bulunmaktadır. Epoksi esaslı polimerik kaplamaların yüksek aşınma ve korozyon direncine, iyi bir kimyasal ve termal kararlılığa, özellikle çok iyi yapıştırıcı özelliğine sahip olması nedeniyle otomotiv, imalat, inşaat, elektronik gibi endüstrilerde kullanımı yaygınlaşmıştır. Bu çalışmada, ASTM G99-17 standardına uygun olarak 5, 10 ve 15 N yük ve 300, 600, 900 s sürelerde çelik disk numunelere uygulanan epoksi kaplamaların aşınma davranışı incelenmiştir. Sürtünme katsayıları deneysel olarak belirlenmiştir. Alüminyum dolgulu Epoksi 1’e kıyasla mineral dolgulu Epoksi 2, artan aşınma sürelerinde ve yüklerde daha iyi performans göstermiştir. Epoksi 1 kaplamalarda %10 bor karbür (B4C) katkısının uzun aşınma sürelerinde olumlu etkisinin olduğu, %20 B4C katkısının ise fiziksel yapıyı bozduğu, dolayısıyla aşınma direncini düşürdüğü görülmüştür. Elde edilen sonuçlar değerlendirildiğinde, uzun aşınma sürelerinde ve artan yüklerde en az kütle kaybeden mineral dolgulu Epoksi 2 olmuştur.

Authors: Prince, PhD Chimonero
Published: December 2022

Obesogenic disorders have become a global spotlight that presents manifold challenges on healthcare systems. This study explored sedentary and obesity-oriented trends among Great Zimbabwe University staff in Masvingo. The Human Movement Conceptual Framework underpinned this descriptive study which hinged on the quantitative approach. Its population comprised 100 participants from which 30 male and female academic adults from Great Zimbabwe University School of Education Department were drawn through stratified random sampling. A questionnaire characteristic of WHO s' Global Physical Activity was used to collect data that is presented on tables. Emerging findings revealed overweight and obesity as problematic issues with high prevalence rates of physical redundancy among the adult population. Sedentary lifestyle tendencies significantly affected adult staff members’ physiological health aspects. Emerging findings revealed deficiencies of habitual training frequencies with aerobic-orientations among members, hence a physically latent workforce. The study recommends adults to develop habitual health and fitness training routines and behaviors to abate obesity-overweight trends. Sedentary and high calorific patterns subjugating adults to cardiovascular and atherosclerotic risks and disorders need substantial reductions through multi-systemic and multi-modal fitness regimes to promote health and exercise habits. Re-purposed high intensity progressive aerobic-oriented training dosages are necessary to reduce intramuscular fat levels, physiological frailty, oesteo-articulature impairments and to enhance intra-motor unit efficiencies.

A structured questionnaire was used to collect data and descriptive statistics was applied to come up with the results’ mean scores with the assistance of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences. The study established that Shehia leadership effectiveness was limited to assisting the marginalized and disadvantaged groups to get their rights, solving social challenges and preparing bylaws to be used on criminal prevention. Leaders did not take care to involve such government officers as teachers, social workers, doctors and police officers to join in various issues associated with crime prevention. The study recommended that Shehia leadership should go beyond assisting the marginalized and disadvantaged groups to get their rights, solving social challenges and preparing bylaws to be used on criminal prevention. Leaders should involve such government officers as teachers, social workers, doctors and police officers in dealing with various issues associated with crime prevention since such stakeholders have very important roles to perform toward crime prevention when involved.

The purpose of the study was to establish the performance of income generating activities (IGAs) in secondary schools in Muleba District of Tanzania. The study adopted the Resource Dependency Theory (RDT) which was proposed by Pfeiffer and Salancik in 1978. Qualitative research approach was adopted and multiple case study design was employed. The study involved 18 purposefully selected participants from six study schools in the district. There were 6 heads of schools, 6 teachers and 6 students. The teachers and students included only those who were supervising IGAs’ projects in schools. Data was collected using in-depth interview, observation and documentary review methods and was analysed thematically. The findings indicate that different income generating activities performed differently. The income generating activities which performed well included bananas, horticulture, forestry, fish and cow farming, poultry project and stationery services. Others were school shops and petrol station activities. The study revealed that there were different factors that contributed to better performance which included, among other things, the hiring of skilled personnel and close monitoring of the projects. On the other hand, goat farming and coffee farming did not do well due to diseases and fluctuation of prices in the market, respectively. Hence, the study recommends the need for provision of knowledge and skills on IGAs to students, heads of school and teachers for a fruitful operation, hence improving teaching and learning environment in schools.

Published: December 2022

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of Motivation Factors on Service Delivery at Chamwino District Council Headquarters office. An explanatory study design was employed to collect data from the sample of 10 out of the population of 16 personnel. The sample was comprised of heads of departments and other leaders. To ensure validity and reliability, the instruments were pretested to four individuals and the responses from pretesting were used to adjust the final version of the tools. Analysis of data was done through the thematic analysis approach. It is concluded that salaries play the major role in motivating employees to work harder and delivery quality services. Secondly, allowances are a good motivational factor because they make employees feel they are being valued by respective organizations, hence they work hard in delivering quality service. Working conditions play a substantial role in service delivery because employees need to work in comfortable, healthy and safe environments. Finally, career development is very crucial as it helps to update employees’ skills, capabilities and competencies, supporting employees to deliver quality services that meet the needs of the clients. The study recommends that the PO-RALG should review the salary and incentive policy and increase salaries for employees as a way of motivating them to work harder. Secondly, leaders and managers in LGAs should ensure provision of sufficient allowances to employees so as to improve service delivery. Furthermore, the PO-RALG should improve the work environment in LGAs so as employees can work comfortably and deliver better services.

Published: December 2022

This study sought to explore the state of parents’ involvement in early childhood education curriculum development in Kaskazini A District, Zanzibar. The study used the qualitative approach in the light of Grassroot Rationale curriculum development model by Hilda Taba (1962). Face to face interviews and focus group discussions were used to collect data from parents, curriculum developers and Pre-primary Education Officers. Results have uncovered that parents were ineffectively involved in the process of pre-primary curriculum development; they were rather involved in curriculum implementation through participating in school meetings to discuss different issues about their children’s learning in school and home so as to improve their performance. The study recommends that: Firstly, curriculum development bodies should strengthen involvement activities and ensure that the process includes relevant ideas from all the stakeholders, including the parents. Secondly, parents’ involvement should be given priority as it is a way of improving children’s learning during the curriculum implementation. Lastly, effective strategies should be employed by curriculum developers to encourage parents’ involvement in the process of curriculum development.
