Published: November 2022

Salah satu bentuk digitalisasi arsitektur pada ranah interior adalah digital drawing. Tujuannya tentu adalah untuk mempermudah dan mempercepat pekerjaan arsitektur atau interior desainer. Realitanya digital drawing pada pekerjaan interior masih memerlukan adjustment sebelum menjadi suatu produk. Penelitian ini membahas adanya diskrepansi atau ketidaksesuaian digital drawing pada tahap desain sampai dengan tahap produk ter-install. Tujuannya untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang menyebabkan diskrepansi digital drawing, performa digital drawing dan output dari digital drawing yang efektif pada desain interior. Paradigma yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah paradigma kualitatif dengan metode grounded research berdasarkan pengalaman nyata penulis sebagai engineering interior. Analisa data didasarkan pada hasil coding lapangan yang dideskriptifkan berdasarkan kritik dan opini penulis. Hasil akhir menunjukkan bahwa faktor yang mempengaruhi diskrepansi digital drawing adalah penyesuaian ukuran material, kapasitas dan kemampuan mesin, alat transportasi, akses menuju lokasi, struktur dan hardware. Performa digital drawing yang efektif didasarkan pada pemilihan format gambar, pemilihan software yang umum, pemilihan type gambar 2d dan 3d dan penggunaan digital library. Output dari performa digital drawing yang minim diskrepansi adalah value engineering yang akan mempengaruhi biaya proyek.

The Country Life Novel’s Gothic Machinery.National Identity and Fluctuating Exchange Value in Fredrika Bremer’s Life in Dalecarlia

When Fredrika Bremer in her novel I Dalarne (1845) (Life in Dalecarlia) represents Falu copper mine as the horrific ruin of classic gothic tales – a vast and life-threatening void, the home of dreadful crimes and secret passions – this is paradoxically part of a nationalistic literary strategy. Simultaneously, though, the novel writes the nation as a pastoral on country life and mores of the peasantry. The article investigates how the gothic and the pastoral idyllic respectively establish the nation and national identity on their separate terms and in relation to each other in accordance with their own particular inner logic.

The idyllic streaks both manifests and problematize local place as foundation for national identity, while the gothic exposes identity as arbitrary, and thereby subverts the notion of a citizen subject. This duality is linked to a market-based model of identity which the article argues is actualized by the novel itself. The condition of possibility is the emerging consumer society and the beginnings of industrialism – breakthrough changes which in the novel are thematized as tensions between tradition and modernity. At stake in this field of tension between the idyllic and the gothic stands the nation as a community of citizens: a collective subject.
Maximizing value and minimizing waste in clinical trial research in swine: Selecting interventions to build an evidence base
Authors: Sargeant Jan , O'Connor Annette , O'Sullivan Terri , Ramirez Alejandro
Published: November 2022

Researchers conduct a trial to compare an intervention of interest to a comparison group. Initially, researchers should determine whether a trial is evaluating superiority, equivalence, or noninferiority. This decision will guide the choice of a placebo versus active comparison group. Interventions, as well as baseline management, should be comprehensively reported to allow replication or clinical application. It is necessary to build a body of evidence across multiple trials to apply evidence-based decision-making. To achieve this, at least one intervention in every trial should be an intervention that has been used in at least one previously published trial.

Authors: Akin Ella , Johnson Anna , Jass Cassandra , Karrkier Locke , Ross Jason , Stalder Kenneth , Millman Suzanne
Published: November 2022

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate an HMH sked rescue system, revised deer sled, and ice fishing sled as humane handling tools for moving nonambulatory pigs on a commercial wean-to-finish farm. Materials and methods: Eighteen commercial crossbred pigs received an epidural to induce a nonambulatory state. The HMH sked rescue system, revised deer sled, and ice fishing sled were tested as handling tools by 2 employees for time to place and move the pig, pig vocalization and struggle scores, and tool durability. Results: Time to place the nonambulatory pig from the start pen floor onto the handling tool, time to secure the nonambulatory pig on the handling tool, and total time were not affected by the handling tool (P ≥ .12). There was a trend for time to move the handling tool with the nonambulatory pig from the start to end pen, which included removing the pig from the handling tool and placing them onto the end pen floor (P = .06). The ice fishing sled was the most durable with no creases, rips, or holes. There were no handling tool differences for pig vocalization or struggle scores (P > .10). Changes in pig respiration rate and pig body temperature did not differ between handling tools (P ≥ .71). Implications: Under study conditions, the sked, revised deer sled, and ice fishing sled were all humane tools to move nonambulatory grow-finish pigs. Caretakers need to evaluate the best choice for their farm.
Mu‘tezile Mezhebinin Kur’an Anlayışı ve Günümüze Yansımaları
Authors: ÇELİK Hüseyin
Published: November 2022

Hz. Peygamber’in vefatından bir süre sonra İslâm dünyasında bazı mezhepler oluşmaya başladı. Bu mezheplerin bir kısmı dini düşünce etrafında ortaya çıkarken, bazılarında ise baskın bir şekilde siyasi etkiyi görebilmek mümkündür. Bu bağlamda dinî-siyasî mezhepler denildiğinde ilk akla gelenler Haricîlik, Şîa ve Mu‘tezile olmaktadır. Şîa mezhebi toplum olarak günümüze kadar varlığını sürdürmesine rağmen Harîcîlik ve Mu‘tezile varlığını fikir olarak devam ettirmiştir. Mu‘tezile denildiğinde akla ilk gelen şey “akılcılık” ve “beş esas”tır. Dinî-siyasî bir özelliğe sahip olan Mu‘tezile mezhebi her zaman aklı ön planda tutmuştur. Tevhid, adalet, el-menzile beyne’l-menzileteyn, emir-i bi’l-ma‘ruf nehiy ani’l-münker ve el-vaʻd ve’l-vaîd olarak isimlendirilen beş esas, Mu‘tezile’nin düşünce yapısının temelini oluşturmaktadır. Mu‘tezilenin düşüncesi bu “beş esas” üzerine bina edilmiştir. Bu esaslar mutlak doğru olarak kabul edilmiş ve Kur’an-ı Kerim bunlara göre tefsir edilmiştir. Yine bu mezhep hadisleri mütevatir ve âhâd olarak iki sınıfa ayırmış ve mütevatir olmayanları delil olarak kabul etmemiştir. Getirilen şartların zorluğundan dolayı hadislerin tamamına yakını Ahâd hadis olarak kalmıştır. Mu‘tezile isim olarak devam etmese de fikir olarak varlığını devam ettirmiş ve bu güne kadar gelmiştir. Günümüzde tartışma konusu olan birçok konunun kaynağı Mu‘tezile mezhebidir. Şefâatın reddi, kabir azabının olmadığı, kader inancının yokluğu, cehenneme giren kimsenin bir daha oradan çıkmayacağı, Âdem (as)’ın yaratıldıktan sonra konulduğu cennet, mucizenin ve kerametin inkârı, mütevatir olmayan hadislerin delil olmaması gibi konular bunlardan bazılarıdır. Bunlar ilk kez Mu‘tezile mezhebi ile tartışılmaya başlanmış ve günümüze kadar da gelmiştir. Mu‘tezile bunlardan çoğunu “beş esas” bağlamında değerlendirmiştir. Bu esaslardan birine veya birden fazlasına uymadığı için bunları kabul etmemiştir. Mu‘tezile mezhebine mensup olan kimselerin hepsi aynı şekilde düşünmeseler de bu konulardaki farklı düşünceler ilk kez Mu‘tezile ile birlikte tartışılmaya başlanmıştır.
Flow the wu-wei way: A thematic analysis of charity runners’ experience of wu-wei in enhancing wellbeing and flourishing
Authors: Roberts Wendy , Ertubey Candan
Published: November 2022

There is increasing interest and research into non-Western perspectives on wellbeing and ways of flourishing in different cultures. This study builds on this by investigating the Taoist concept of wu-wei, translated from Chinese as ‘non-action’ or ‘actionless action’, through the experiences of ten runners (age 40 to 63; four identifying as male and six as female) who run for charitable causes and how this contributes towards their wellbeing. Semi-structured interviews were conducted then transcribed, and four core themes and eight subthemes identified using thematic analysis. Analysis showed that the four core themes for participants to achieve wu-wei were experience of suffering or adversity, being fully focused on the present (with an element of mindfulness), having a shared experience with the running community, and adopting a broader perspective on life (including in meaning or purpose). By accepting their experiences of suffering or adversity and pursuing pro-social activities, such as running for charitable causes, participants used mindfulness through running to develop a broader perspective on life and attain wellbeing. The findings indicate that the Taoist concept of wu-wei can be applied in positive psychology when manifested as a key facet of running as a positive psychology intervention suggesting its relevance to the wellbeing literature. This study highlights the importance of embracing cross-cultural approaches to wellbeing by looking at non-Western perspectives and their application to the global population.
The varieties of vitality: A cross-cultural lexical analysis
Authors: Lomas Tim , Ritchie-Dunham Jim , Lee Matthew T. , VanderWeele Tyler J.
Published: November 2022

Vitality has been underappreciated and underexplored by academia at large. This oversight is potentially explained by the Western-centric nature of most fields, with vitality having been comparatively neglected in the West relative to elsewhere. One explanation for this lacuna is that vitality is not easily pigeonholed within the ontological categories dominant in the West, such as mind and body. This paper therefore aims to learn from cultures that have cultivated a greater understanding of vitality, doing so by engaging with relevant ‘untranslatable’ words (i.e., those without exact equivalent in English), thus enriching our conceptual map of this topic. Over 200 relevant terms were located and analyzed using an adapted form of grounded theory. Three themes were identified, each with four subthemes: spirit (life force, channels, soul, and transcendence); energy (fortitude, channeling, willpower, and recharging); and heart (desire, passion, affection, and satisfaction). The paper thus refines our understanding of this important topic and provides a foundation for future research.

Moringa oleifera, a multi-purpose woody species that is increasingly being cultivated in Burkina Faso. The purpose of this study is to determine the best way to produce Moringa seedlings. The study was conducted at AMIFOB, Ouagadougou in (12°7’32’’N et 01°40’24’’W). Germination tests of Moringa seeds and seedling growth were carried out with newly harvested seeds, one and two-year-old, in plastic pots and directly on the ground, arranged together in ambient atmospheres receiving a daily water supply of 250 ml. Seedlings from the pots are transplanted to the same substrate on the 35th day after sowing. The results showed that the age of the seed has a significant effect on the germination rate of the seeds (p<0.05). Older seeds have a low germination rate (42.33%). After 35 days after germination, the height and collar diameter growth of potted seedlings is higher than that of direct seeding. Seedlings emerging from the ground have a recovery rate of 81.35%. On the other hand, those in the pots have a 100% recovery rate. Sixty-five days after transplanting, potted seedlings and those growing on the ground showed no significant difference in growth in height and diameter (p>0.05). The recovery rate for seedlings from pots is 83.33% compared to 65.56% for those from direct seeding on the ground. The germination rate of older seeds is low and the water content of the substrate influences the germination rate of Moringa seeds.

Authors: Bonet Laureano
Published: November 2022

Escritor y fundador de la editorial Grup 62, Josep Maria Castellet se recuerda en esta necrología en el año de su muerte, 2014. Fue una persona realista, alejada del surrealismo, y bastante racional, sin miedo a la muerte, entendida como un proceso natural e inevitable. Desde joven se interesó por los escritores del siglo XX español, como Pío Baroja, Azorín, Valle-Inclán, entre otros como Antonio Machado, y se alejó entonces de la religión. También fueron fundamentales para influenciarlo Sartre y Josep Pla. El autor de esta necrología comenta todas las entrevistas que le hizo a este importante escritor catalán, que recibió el Premio Nacional de las Letras Españolas y siempre estuvo dispuesto a colocar la cultura hispana por encima de cualquier diferencia.

Authors: Taj Mubeen , Poguri Maithreyi , Mariyana Glady , Jebarose Sujitha , Paul Christina Mary
Published: November 2022

Background: Schizophrenia, a chronic psychiatric disorder affecting all major domains of a patient’s life, leads to significant disability. Since the deinstitutionalization policy, the onus of care is on families especially the primary caregiver who experiences physical and emotional burden. Depression among caregivers has been estimated to be higher than the general population. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess burden of care and depression in primary caregivers and associated caregiver variables.
Methods: 75 consenting primary caregivers of patients with ICD-10 diagnosis of schizophrenia were assessed for burden of care and depression using the Burden Assessment Schedule and the Patient Health Questionnaire - 9 after collecting socio-demographic and caregiving details.
Results: All the caregivers, 49 females and 26 males, had moderate to high levels of burden with a majority having moderate to severe levels of depression. Spouses (p=0.0038), older caregivers (p=0.01) and those with lower educational levels (p=0.01) experienced more burden. There was a significant positive correlation between burden of care and depression (p=0.000).
Conclusion: In one of India’s largest metropolitan cities, though psychiatric services are easily available, caregivers continue to feel burdened and depressed. This can impact not just the caregiver but also care being provided to the patient and illness outcome.

Background: Hormonal changes during menopause affect the vestibular system by interfering with homeostasis and by disrupting the enzyme cycles and neurotransmitter function. It has been observed that females have a higher risk of falling and this may increase after menopause. Balance in women is significantly affected by menopause. Objective: To find the prevalence of vestibular dysfunction in menopausal females and to find the risk factors associated with vestibular dysfunction. Methods: The analytical cross-sectional study was conducted from May to October 2021, the data was collected from 385 women in district Jhelum who had menopause after the age of 45 years.  Non-probability convenient sampling was used to collect data. The Berg balance scale, activity-specific balance confidence scale, and a self-made questionnaire for risk factors were used in the study. Results: According to the activity-specific balance confidence scale, 24.4% of the population had high, 60.5% moderate, and 15.1% low physical functioning. A score of less than 67% indicated that 48.1% of patients had a risk for falls in the future. Berg balance scale showed that 6.8% of patients had a high, 22.9% medium, and 60.4% low risk of falling, a score less than 45 demonstrated that 55.8% had a higher fall risk. Diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and smoking were all statistically significant risk factors for falls (p≤0.001). Conclusion: The current study concludes that there is a significant risk of developing vestibular dysfunction, with an increased risk of falls after menopause in females. Hearing loss is the most common risk factor while obesity also has a great impact on the vestibular system. But there is an increased chance of falls in participants with stroke and hypertension.

Published: November 2022

Background: In intensive care units, the frequency with which nurses interact with patients who are afflicted with diseases that pose a threat to their lives, the work environment in which nurses are employed is among the most stressful of all professional settings. It is a known truth that nurses may be subjected to a range of pressures at work, some of which may be related to the admittance of patients or the obligations of the organization. The consequences of occupational stress on nurses are a global problem that has greater importance in practice than they do in any one geographic area. Objective: To investigate the frequency of factors that contribute to the high levels of work-related stress experienced by critical care nurses working in tertiary care hospitals. Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited 139 nurses providing critical care at tertiary care hospitals using a random sample method. Participants were registered nurses who worked in the nursing profession for at least three months and were certified by the Pakistan Nursing Council. A questionnaire that the participants answered on their own time was used to collect the data for this study. The information was interpreted with the use of descriptive statistics, and the results were presented with the assistance of tables, charts, and percentages. Results: It was demonstrated that just 2.9% of participants reported severe level of stress, even though the majority of participants (55.4%) reported experiencing moderate level of stress while 41.7% of nurses reported mild stress. The eight determinants of stress experienced by intensive care unit nurses are calculated and workload-related stress was found to be the most frequent source of stress affecting 50.4% of nurses. Conclusion: It is concluded that all nurses who worked in vital areas experienced some amount of stress, majority of them deal with moderate level of work-related stress.

Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate dentistry students for changes in anxiety levels between the initial outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the point where COVID restrictions were reduced to a minimum and to compare their perspectives on distance education at both points in time.
Methodology: The participants in this study were undergraduate students (n = 297) from the Faculty of Dentistry who volunteered to answer a questionnaire that asked them to detail the anxiety levels that they experienced during the COVID-19 period and during the months after COVID-related restrictions were lifted. The students were also asked for their opinions about the theoretical dentistry lessons delivered by distance education. The measurement values obtained were subjected to the independent sample t-test for comparisons between groups and to the one-way analysis of variance for comparisons of more than two groups. The Pearson correlation analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between anxiety levels. A value of p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: When asked whether technology-based education was beneficial, and whether theoretical education should be realized through distance education, men answered yes at a higher rate than women. (p < 0.05). It was also observed that, compared to the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, the anxiety scores of the participants were lower in the months after pandemic restrictions were reduced.
Conclusion: According to the findings, it was observed that male students were more inclined to use the internet, to believe that technology-based education was beneficial, to prefer distance education over face-to-face education, and to be more motivated in distance education than face-to-face education. COVID-19 has impacted face-to-face education with a sudden transition to distance education, and these results support the importance of identifying the deficiencies in this education method and developing this system

Published: November 2022

Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of different ground-based coffee types on the color change of nanohybrid and bulk-fill composites.
Methodology: A total of 80 disk-shaped samples were made using Teflon molds (5 mm in diameter and 8 mm thick) and two types of A2 resin with nanohybrid (Tetric N Ceram Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) and bulk-fill (Filtek Bulk-Fill, 3M ESPE, St. Paul, MN, USA) structures. All samples were finished and polished with four-stage (thick, medium, fine, and superfine) polishing disks (Sof-lex, 3M ESPE, St. Paul, MN, USA) and kept at 37°C for 24 hours. Color measurements of the samples were performed using a spectrophotometer (Vita Easy Shade, Vita ZahnFabrik, Bad Sackingen, Germany) and were divided into subgroups: the control group, filter coffee, Turkish coffee, espresso, and Mırra (n = 8). Distilled water was used as a control. Prepared coffees were added to the microcentrifuge tubes and refreshed daily during the 14-day exposure period. ΔE values were calculated for each material. Statistical analyses were performed using one-way variance analysis and Tukey multiple comparisons (p = 0.05).
Results: There was no significant color change for either the nano-fill or bulk-fill composite groups in the control group samples (p>0.05). Filter coffee was found to be the most effective colorant coffee type for both composites (p < 0.05). Among the coffee types, Mırra caused the least coloration for both composites.
Conclusion: The consumption of two or more cups of coffee per day, especially filter coffee, can cause color changes in both conventional and bulk-fill composites, and it should be considered an important factor in aesthetic problems with dental restorations.

A investigação em voga constitui-se de uma pesquisa exploratória e descritiva, tendo como objetivo investigar quais as metodologias utilizadas pelos professores no ensino de Ciências, nos anos finais do Ensino Fundamental e ainda se eles se preocupam em relacionar  teoria com a prática, fazendo uso da experimentação. Esta pesquisa iniciou-se com uma revisão bibliográfica e em seguida contou com uma pesquisa de campo de abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa. Foram entrevistados professores de Ciências e seus respectivos alunos do 6º ao 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental, mediante  questionário aplicado pessoalmente na própria escola, no intuito de conhecer as percepções dos professores e dos seus alunos sobre o ensino de Ciências e as metodologias utilizadas. Ao todo, foram cinco professores, sendo um da escola municipal, três da escola estadual e um da escola particular, todas localizadas na cidade de Januária, no estado de Minas Gerais (Brasil). Quanto aos alunos, somaram um total de sessenta, sendo vinte de cada escola pesquisada. Como resultados finais desta pesquisa e tendo como base os objetivos propostos e as percepções dos professores e alunos, observa-se que os dados apresentaram uma diferença significativa de resultado entre a escola pública e a particular. As aulas nas escolas públicas pesquisadas, em sua maioria, são ministradas de forma tradicional, por meio de aulas expositivas e livros didáticos, sendo usadas raramente as aulas práticas. Em suma, observa-se que aliar teoria e prática, ainda é um desafio que também está relacionado à concepção de educação de cada professor e às condições de trabalho.
