Authors: Kosson Zofia , Paśnicki Marek , Kołacz Marcin
Published: December 2021

Recent years have seen intensive development of ICU treatment protocols. Today it is possible to treat patients who in the past would not have had a chance of survival. People under the care of the unit typically suffer from cardiovascular or respiratory failure. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to discuss the basic techniques used by physiotherapeutic staff and the contribution they make to the treatment of patients at the ICU. In our article, we analyzed the risks associated with long-term hospitalization and the characteristics of the ICU patient, and presented the ways in which a physical therapist can improve the patient’s health. We have identified the main goals of ICU physical therapy and specified the intention with which specific physiotherapeutic procedures are introduced. The physical therapist should be part of a medical team whose goal is for the patient recover as quickly as possible. The role of the physical therapist in the ICU is not only to help the patient to improve in the shortest time possible, but also to prevent the undesirable effects of hypokinesia and long-term treatment in the ICU.

Effect of Coarse Content on Compaction Test
Authors: Alshameri Badee
Published: December 2021

The compaction is a mechanism to densify the loose soils. The maximum soil densification can be achieved by optimization of the desirable optimum moisture content (OMC) and maximum dry density (MDD). The maximum dry density and the optimum moisture content were affected by several parameters. The coarse content (CC) is one of these parameters. This paper studied the effect of the coarse content on the compaction parameters (MDD, OMC). Several sand-kaolin mixtures had coarse content ranged from 30 % to 80 % and moisture content ranged from 12% to 20% were used to inspect the relationship between CC, specific gravity (Gs), MDD, OMC, and bulk density. The results presented five empirical correlations with coefficient of determination (R2 ≥ 0.98) between CC, Gs, MDD, OMC and bulk density. The comparison between the current study and previous researchers indicated that both soil type and moisture content have significant effect on the efficiency of the empirical correlation equations between the maximum dry density, specific gravity, and coarse content. The results indicated a linear relationship between coarse content toward maximum dry density and specific gravity where both MDD and Gs increased with an increase CC. In contrary, the results showed non-linear relationship between optimum moisture content and coarse content where OMC decrease with an increase CC.
A Simple Formula for Prediction of Compressive Strength of Square CFT Columns
Authors: Bashir Muhammad Aun
Published: December 2021

Concrete filled steel tube structures are becoming very popular in the modern civil engineering projects. Studying composite structures is useful, since it is an innovative and contemporary way to build structures. This type of structure has the ability to use respective strength of both steel and concrete due to confinement. Prefabrication of steel tube section is beneficial, and allows rapid installation into main structure. It also reduces the assembly cost and construction time. This paper will present the simple equation to predict the compressive strength of square concrete filled steel tube by using Finite Element Analysis (FEA)based software ABAQUs. In this study, 3D non-linear finite element models of short square composite columns were prepared using ABAQUS. The results were compared with published experimental tests of a concrete filled steel tube short columns. After getting the good agreement with the experimental results, a simple equation for the prediction of compressive strength is presented by considering the width to thickness ratio of steel tube. Results are validated with experimental results. The equation can predict the compressive strength only for the given material strengths and in future, the simple equation can be improved by considering different parameters e.g. material strength, slenderness ratio and end conditions.

Chiggers are ectoparasites and can cause severe dermatitis in their hosts, known as trombiculiasis. Besides that, these mites can be vectors of bacteria of the genus Orientia, in various regions of the world. The genera Eutrombicula Ewing, 1938 is currently represented by more than 80 species worldwide. Species of this genus are recorded parasitizing reptiles, birds, and mammals. One of this species, Eutrombicula daemoni Bassini-Silva & Jacinavicius, 2018 was recently described causing trombiculiasis in a dog. Our goal is to report a new case of a dog’s trombiculiasis, including a new locality record for E. daemoni in Brazil. In May 2021, a female Shih-Tzu dog with three years old and with access to the forest of the Santa Tereza municipality, southeastern Brazil, sought veterinary medical attention for intense itching and erythema in the facial region. Mites were collected directly from the face of the dog. These materials were slide-mounted and deposited in the Acarological Collection of the Butantan Institute (IBSP). The material extracted from the dog was examined and identified as E. daemoni. Part of the fixation site tissue of the dog was collected, showing the feeding tube produced by the enzymatic reaction of saliva by the mite, known as a stylostome. In this report, we emphasize the occurrence of trombiculiasis in domestic animals that have access to forest regions, places that unfed chigger larvae live. Additionally, this record represents a new locality record for E. daemoni to the Espírito Santo State, Brazil.
Diplopia as the Initial Manifestation of Cerebral Vasculitis in a Patient with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Diagnostic Approach and Challenges
Authors: Audy Ariana  , Awalia
Published: December 2021

The term Neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) encompasses all neurologic and or psychologic symptoms arising in patients with SLE after other causes have been ruled out. Cerebral vasculitis as a manifestation of NPSLE is a rare case with a very broad spectrum of clinical presentation and severity. We report a case of a female with cerebral vasculitis presenting with diplopia as its early manifestation. Diagnosing cerebral vasculitis remains challenging given that biopsy as the gold standard is an invasive procedure and may not be available in many settings. A high suspicion of diagnosis requires clinicians’ judgement in reviewing combination of detailed history taking, physical examination, neuroimaging, and other available supporting modalities.

Authors: Nguyen Thi Thuy , Dao Van Hung
Published: December 2021

We examine the possibility of improving the nonlinear properties of photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) with As2Se3 substrates by creating a difference in the diameters of the air holes of the rings around the core. With the new design, all-normal dispersion properties, small effective mode area, high nonlinear coefficient, and low confinement loss were achieved in the long-wavelength range of 2.0–7.0 µm. The highest nonlinear coefficient is 4414.918 W-1.km-1 at 4.5 µm for the lattice constant (Ʌ) of 3.0 µm and the filling factor (d/Ʌ) of 0.85, while the lowest loss is 1.823´10-21 dB/cm with Ʌ = 3.5 µm and d/Ʌ = 0.8. Based on the numerical simulation results, the characteristics of two optimal structures have been analyzed in detail to guide the application in supercontinuum generation.

Published: December 2021

The article presents the applicability of 3D printing in casting. Even complex models produced by 3D printing can be effectively applied in the field of lost pattern casting. The process was realized using Polycast and Pioneer investment powder (gypsum). Based on the measurement it is clear that the size differences come from the printing technology. The minimum wall thickness cannot be less than 0.8 mm, but there is inaccuracy under 2.1 mm when there is no infill section in the rib. More contour lines can reduce the deformation and the inaccuracy.

Authors: Singh Tej , Fekete Gusztáv
Published: December 2021

Brake friction composite materials comprising varying proportions of natural (banana) and inorganic (lapinus) fibers were designed, fabricated by compression molding, and characterized for sliding wear performance. The sliding wear properties of the manufactured friction composites have been studied by the Taguchi method. An orthogonal array (L 16) was used to investigate the influence of sliding wear parameters. A series of tests were conducted on a pin-on-disc machine by considering four control parameters: composition, normal load, sliding velocity, and sliding distance, each having four levels. The results showed that the wear in terms of weight loss decreases with increasing banana fiber and increases with increasing lapinus fiber, normal load, sliding velocity, and sliding distance. The results indicate that the normal load emerges as the most significant control parameter affecting wear performance, followed by sliding distance and sliding velocity.

Yarım asrı aşkın mücehhez ve mümtaz birikimi ile Cumhuriyet Türkiye’sine tevarüs eden Şûrâ-yı Devlet, 1868-1922 yılları arası dönemde sık sık yapısal değişim geçirmiştir. Günümüzde varlığını Danıştay olarak devam ettiren bu kurumun Cumhuriyet dönemindeki yapısını anlamak için, geçiş süreci olarak adlandırabileceğimiz II. Meşrutiyet ve Millî Mücadele Dönemindeki hukuki gelişmelerin ortaya konulması gerekmektedir. Özellikle Millî Mücadele yıllarında TBMM Hükûmeti, Şûrâ-yı Devletin geleceğini ve varlığını sorgularken, İstanbul’da bu Kurum çalışmalarına devam etmekteydi. Dolayısıyla bu geçiş sürecini İstanbul ve Ankara Hükûmetinin Şûrâ-yı Devlete bakışı üzerinden değerlendirmek gerekmektedir.

Ankara’da Mecliste Şûrâ-yı Devlet üzerinden yapılan tartışmalar ve dönemin basınında yer alan haberler, heterojen bir imparatorluktan homojen üniter Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’ne geçiş sürecinin sancılarını yansıtır niteliktedir. Şûrâ-yı Devlet ile ilgili daha önce tarafımızca yapılan çalışmada Millî Mücadele Dönemi İstanbul ve Anadolu basınıyla TBMM Zabıt Ceridelerinde Şûrâ-yı Devlete nasıl yaklaşıldığına ve bu bağlamda yaşanan tartışmalara yer verilememişti. Bahsi geçen çalışmanın eksikliği arşivde karşılaşılan yeni belgeler, basında yer alan haberler ve bu dönemde hayata geçirilen bazı hukuki düzenlemeler ışığında bu çalışmada giderilmeye çalışılmıştır.

Bu çerçevede bu çalışmada II. Meşrutiyet ve Millî Mücadele yıllarında Şûrâ-yı Devletin geçirdiği değişim süreci; yapılan hukuki düzenlemeler, Osmanlı arşiv belgeleri, dönemin basını ve meclis zabıtları üzerinden tahlil edilmeye çalışılacaktır.

Black-hole–Neutron-star Mergers Are Unlikely Multimessenger Sources
Authors: Fragione Giacomo
Published: December 2021

The promise by the LIGO/Virgo/Kagra (LVK) collaboration to detect black-hole–neutron-star (BH–NS) mergers via gravitational wave (GW) emission has recently been fulfilled with the detection of GW200105 and GW200115. Mergers of BH–NS binaries are particularly exciting for their multimessenger potential since GW detection can be followed by an electromagnetic (EM) counterpart (kilonova, gamma-ray burst, afterglow) that can reveal important information on the equation of state (EOS) of NSs and the nature of the BH spin. This can happen whenever the NS does not directly plunge into the BH, but rather is tidally disrupted, leaving behind debris to accrete. We carry out a statistical study of the binary stars that evolve to form a BH–NS binary and compute the rate of merger events that can be followed by an EM counterpart. We find that ≳50% of the mergers can lead to an EM counterpart only in the case where BHs are born highly spinning (χ
BH ≳ 0.7), while this fraction does not exceed about 30% for stiff NS EOSs and a few percent for soft NS EOSs for low-spinning BHs (χ
BH ≲ 0.2), suggesting that a high rate of EM counterparts of BH–NS would provide support for high natal BH spins. However, the possibilities that BHs are born with near-maximal spins and that NS internal structure is described by a stiff EOS are disfavored by current LVK constraints. Considering that these values only represent an upper limit to observe an EM counterpart due to current observational limitations, such as brightness sensitivity and sky localization, BH–NS mergers are unlikely multimessenger sources.
Pattern and Determinant of Contraceptive Use among Women in Indonesia from 2007 to 2017: Evidence from Demographic and Health Survey

Published: December 2021

Background: Modern contraceptives are proven as the most effective birth control methods. However, it was a change in the pattern of modern method use in Indonesia to traditional. Objectives: This study investigated the pattern of contraceptive use and its determinant in Indonesia between 2007 and 2017. Methods: The study employed data from the Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) 2007, 2012, and 2017. Eligible participants included all women aged 15–49 who were married/living together with a partner. The dependent variable was contraceptive method use categorized as long-term, short-term, and traditional. Weighted pooled logistic regression analysis was applied to determine the shifting patterns of the independent variables related to contraceptive use over time. Results: The trend of contraceptive use in Indonesia has shifted over the three periods of the IDHS. During the three survey periods, contraceptive use was still dominated by short-term contraception, although over the last five years, the proportion has shown a decline of around 9%. Traditional contraceptive adoption followed the same patterns as long-acting reversible contraception (LARC), although having a smaller prevalence. Education level was significantly unassociated with the use of the traditional method at the beginning of the observation. However, more educated and knowledgeable women about contraceptive methods were more likely to use traditional contraceptives, switched from long-acting use following the next five and ten years. Long-term methods were no longer significantly more common among women in Java and Bali after five and ten years; the likelihood of using traditional methods in Java and Bali was growing. Conclusion: This study showed that contraceptive use and determinants were always dynamic over time. Therefore, family planning strategies and policies should adapt accordingly. Giving an understanding of contraceptive methods' benefits and risks through adequate method information is encouraged to prevent contraceptive dropout or switch to less-effective methods.

Published: December 2021

The current distribution of Zostera spp. seagrass meadows along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast was studied. We used a combination of historical and recent observations of the habitat along the studied coastline. Remote sensing data (satellite images, sonar side-scans) was groundtruthed with georeferenced drop camera observations, scuba diving sampling and georeferenced scuba diving photo and video transects.

Тhe total area of the habitat type ‘MB548 - Black Sea seagrass meadows on lower infralittoral sands’ (EUNIS habitat type list 2019) in the study area is 916.9 ha, of which only 17.9 ha are in man-made sheltered environments (harbours). All seagrass meadows identified in 1978-79 were also located during the current survey, despite the increased eutrophication pressure and overall degradation of benthic habitats in the W Black Sea during the 1980s and early 1990s.
A Retrospective Analysis of Transfusion Reactions at a Tertiary Care Center: An Institutional Hemovigilance Study
Authors: Korkmaz Emine , Korkut Sevda , Akkoyun Nuray
Published: December 2021

Background:

The goal of our study was to determine the frequency and type of transfusion reactions (TRs) as well as other hemovigilance activities reported at a tertiary care hospital in Turkey over a period of 3 years.

Method:

In this retrospective study, the notification sheets of TRs reported to the institution's local hemovigilance system between December 2017 and December 2020 were analyzed.

Results:

A total of 89,187 units of blood components were administered to patients during this period. A total of 197 TRs were reported to the hemovigilance system. The overall frequency of TRs was 0.22%. The most common TRs were allergic reactions (49.2%) and febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reactions (37.6%), respectively. Most of the adverse events were reported by clinical nurses.

Conclusion:

Our study showed that the frequency of TRs was low, and most were manageable reactions. We found that reporting of all TRs and continuous nursing education can help to strengthen the hemovigilance system.[J Contin Educ Nurs.2021;52(12):581–588.]

Authors: Badowski Donna M. , Spurlark Roxanne , Webber-Ritchey Kashica J. , Towson Sheila , Ponder Tiffany N. , Simonovich Shannon D.
Published: December 2021

Background:

This study sought to qualitatively describe the implications of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on nursing education and provide recommendations for curricular changes expressed by frontline nurses practicing during the first wave of the pandemic.

Method:

Nurses throughout the United States (
N
= 100) completed the study protocol. The study sample was diverse and included White (37%), Black (20%), Latinx (20%), Asian (14%), multiracial (7%), and Native American (2%) participants; the sample also included transgender and nonbinary nurses (2%). Thematic network analysis was used to determine the implications of COVID-19 for nursing education.

Results:

Findings included four distinct themes: teamwork and communication, flexibility and critical thinking, leadership and using your voice, and advocacy and policy.

Conclusion:

Shifting nursing education curriculum to focus on these key attributes will help better prepare new nurses to be adaptable in practice settings, thereby improving nursing care, clinical outcomes, and the well-being of the communities that nurses serve.

Implementing Trauma-Informed Education Practices in Undergraduate Mental Health Nursing Education
Authors: Bosse Jordon D. , Clark Kristen D. , Arnold Samantha
Published: December 2021

Background:

Nursing students may have risk factors for trauma reactivation through learning activities conducted as part of their education and training. Trauma-informed education practices (TIEP) could help reduce this risk.

Method:

Course policies, content, procedures, and support structures consistent with the tenets of TIEP were implemented in undergraduate mental health courses with traditional third-year nursing students at two universities.

Results:

Students responded positively to the implementation of TIEP. Most (92%) qualitative feedback students provided in formal evaluations was directly related to at least one principle of TIEP, most commonly “promoting social, emotional, and academic safety.” Some students (39.3%) interpreted TIEP as demonstrations of “genuine” caring for the students as individuals and their own mental health.

Conclusion:

Integrating TIEP into an undergraduate nursing mental health course is feasible and beneficial and allows faculty to role model skills and values central to nursing practice.
