Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the survival of exclusive breastfeeding and the factors associated with its cessation in the first month among pairs seen by a lactation consulting team. Method: This is a prospective cohort conducted with mother-infant pairs treated at the Hospital de Clínicas of Porto Alegre. Results: The sample consisted of 150 pairs. The survival curve indicates that 52.9% of the children remained on exclusive breastfeeding. The hierarchical model was constructed in four levels, and the factors associated with the cessation of exclusive breastfeeding were the milk supplementation during hospitalization, breast problems after hospital discharge and use of pacifiers. Conclusion: Awareness of these factors favors the early detection of pairs that may be predisposed to cessation of exclusive breastfeeding, who require greater support, dedication and care.

Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a teaching program for hospital discharge of patients submitted to radical prostatectomy based on the self-efficacy construct of the Cognitive Social Theory. Method: A controlled clinical trial carried out on a 2-month follow-up of 68 prostatectomized men randomized into intervention group (n = 34) and control (n = 34). The intervention group received routine guidance from the service plus the teaching program. The control group only received routine guidance from the service. The data collection instruments were: sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire, self-efficacy scale, hospital depression and anxiety scale, household care knowledge questionnaire, and an item on satisfaction with a score of 1 to 5. Results: There was a significant difference between the intragroups for satisfaction (p<0.001) and knowledge (p<0.001) of the pre-test to the post-test. In the intervention group, there were significant changes between the times for anxiety (p=0.011) and knowledge (p<0.001). Conclusion: The teaching program with a combination of oral guidance, written instruction and telephone follow-up was effective in improving knowledge about home care and personal satisfaction.

Mouse-180 minutes-Intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IPGTT) v1
Authors: Abutoamih Atamni Hanifa , A. Iraqi Fuad
Published: February 2019

This protocol focuses on assessing the glucose tolerance ability of the mice as an indicator for the development of impaired glucose tolerance (type 2 diabetes) at different developmental stages, possibly in normal environmental conditions or in response to different diets/environmental challenges. In this assay we use the Intraperitoneal (IP) route of administartion for the glucose solution load following 6 hours of fasting (with free acces to water). At the end of 6 hours fasting, we measure the blood glucose levels of the mouse (time zero), and thereafter perform a body weight adjusted IP glucose load, and monitor the glusoe levels at different time points for 180 minutes. Eventually, at the end of 180 minutes, we have full data of glucose levels at different time point, which generate a glucose clearance curve, presenting the mouse glucose tolerance ability. Further information on data analysis of the IPGTT results is availble at Atamni HJ. et al. (2016) High-fat-diet induced development of increased fasting glucose levels and impaired response to intraperitoneal glucose challenge in the collaborative cross mouse genetic reference population.

Bilateral inferior conchae and turbinate hypertrophy causing choanal pseudoatresia
Authors: Wan Mansor Wan Nabila , Ahmad Azrina , Kulasegarah Jeyanthi
Published: February 2019

Respiratory distress in neonates is an emergency which requires a thorough investigation to determine the cause, whether it is due to the upper respiratory or lower respiratory entity. Nasal cavity pathologies rarely compromise the neonatal airway. Newborns are obligatory nasal breathers; thus, upper respiratory tract problems could potentially become life-threatening. We report a case of a newborn boy with inferior turbinate hypertrophy (ITH) causing respiratory distress treated successfully by nasal dilatation and posterior septoplasty. Congenital bilateral ITH is rarely seen and can mimic choanal atresia. Congenital ITH would be missed at initial presentation without radiographic imaging and physical evaluation. It should be considered as one of the differential diagnosis in cases suspected for choanal atresia.

Emotional Interest Representation and the Politics of Risk in Child Protection
Authors: Warner Jo
Published: February 2019

This article explores the emotional dimensions of political representation by British Members of Parliament (MP) in relation to child protection. The public speech acts and first-hand accounts of three MPs are drawn upon as examples. These highlight different forms of emotional interest representation that arise following the death of a local child from severe abuse or neglect and in response to anxieties in the community about risk. Firstly, I examine the role of the MP in seeking to embody their constituency in the public expression of collective emotional responses and to defend it from feelings of guilt and shame. Personal feelings of guilt and a consciousness of the politician’s role in attributing blame are then considered. Thirdly, I explore the role of the MP as trusted envoy for anxieties about risk to individual children within their constituencies. The article draws on Berezin’s concept of the secure state and Hochschild’s notion of politicians as feeling legislators, and is based on qualitative documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews with MPs. It is argued that the emotional processes outlined are central to understanding the problematic relationship between politics and state social work that fuels the cycle of crisis and reform in children’s services in the UK.
The Map to the Heart: An Analysis of Political Affectivity in Turkey
Authors: Capelos Tereza , Chrona Stavroula
Published: February 2019

This study examines the complexity of citizens’ political affectivity in Turkey. Drawing from componential models of affect, we rely on situational (motive consistent versus inconsistent) and motivational state (gain or loss) appraisals to test hypotheses on systematic differences in the clusters of political affect that span beyond the traditionally measured discrete emotional reactions of anger, hope, pride and fear. Using qualitative interview data from 2012, we develop a topography of affect clusters and systems of associations between political concepts. We find citizens express their emotionality in rich terms. They are linked to appraisals of multiple political objects, they reflect aversive, anxious, loss and gain oriented emotional responses, and they are guided by citizens’ ideological orientations. This study is valuable as it addresses a significant gap in the study of political affect going beyond their discrete categorizations. It introduces a mapping methodology as an effective way of capturing the complexity of affect systems, and it reveals powerful insights into the depth and richness of emotions based on appraisal dimensions, enriching our understanding of political tensions and developments in Turkish politics and beyond.
Friendship and Positive Peace: Conceptualising Friendship in Politics and International Relations
Authors: Hoef Yuri Van , Oelsner Andrea
Published: February 2019

In recent years, the study of friendship has gained traction in political science. The aim of this article is threefold: (1) to offer an overview of the status of friendship studies and how it relates to the emotional turn in international relations, (2) to present a wide variety of different approaches to studying friendship, and (3) to highlight the contribution that a friendship perspective can make to other fields, such as Peace and Conflict Studies. From Aristotle and Plato onwards, we trace the development of the concept of friendship, and present several theoretical conceptualisations and methodological approaches that can be readily applied when making sense of friendship, both on a personal level between elite actors, and on the international level between states. We end by drawing attention to the merit of the study of friendship specifically for the field of Peace and Conflict Studies, where it helps to address the lacuna of research on positive peace.
Predictors of Students' Satisfaction with a Hybrid English Course
Authors: SUWANTARATHIP Ornprapat
Published: February 2019

Hybrid learning is becoming a crucial part of education in the 21st century. It is one of the most popular methods that has been accepted and used in many educational institutions all over the world. Therefore, hybrid learning was adopted in an intermediate English course at a private university in the first semester of the 2017 academic year. This paper studied the satisfaction with the hybrid course of 415 students who experienced a hybrid learning environment (online classes + face-to-face classes) and investigated factors which predicted their satisfaction. The instrument was a five-part questionnaire in a five-rating scale format. The results of the study revealed that the students’ satisfaction with the hybrid course was at a high level. Although computer literacy, attitudes toward hybrid learning, perceptions of the instructor and perceptions of online learning showed positive correlations with students’ satisfaction, these variables were not predictors of satisfaction. In the same vein, gender was not found to be a factor that impacted satisfaction. From this study, attitudes toward hybrid learning were the only one significant predictor for students’ satisfaction with the course. The conclusion part addressed several issues for future course improvement.
Distance and Face-To-Face Students’ Perceptions Towards Distance Education: A Comparative Metaphorical Study
Authors: BAGRIACIK YILMAZ Ayse
Published: February 2019

The aim of this study is to determine and compare the metaphorical perceptions of face-to-face and distance education students towards distance education. The research was conducted using phenomenology pattern. Research data were obtained from 80 distance education students and 56 face-to-face education students using metaphorical perception form for distance education. Data were analyzed with the content analysis technique. Analysis of the data showed that distance education students produced 66 metaphors while face-to-face students produced 55 metaphors. In both groups, metaphors were grouped under three categories. Considering the categories, it was seen that “provided opportunities” and “limitations” categories emerged in both groups. Distance education is not indispensable for face-to-face students. Some of the distance education students prefer distance education because of desperation. As for sub-categories, it was seen that unlike face-to-face students, distance education students -perceived distance education as a road to dreams and they thought that distance education provided them to study while working in a job. While the most repeated metaphors in distance education students were “a golden blessing, a great opportunity, and indispensable”, face-to-face students repeated the “essential” metaphor the most.

Assessment of dengue mosquito breeding sources and source reduction at a coastal village in Puducherry
Authors: Venkataraman Surendran , Sahithyaa J. , Sugumaran Arun
Published: February 2019

Background: Dengue virus can cause a wide range of illness in humans, from unapparent infection, to classic dengue fever and to fatal dengue haemorrhagic fever. Until a vaccine becomes available for public health use, primary prevention of transmission is crucial to decrease the burden of dengue, and control of Aedes is the only available strategy.Methods: The mosquito larval survey was carried out in the month of November 2017 in Echangadu, a coastal village in Puducherry to assess mosquito breeding sources for the presence of dengue vector species. The survey was performed by selecting houses where freshwater was available. For each household, the presence or absence of possible breeding sources were recorded, as well as the presence or absence of mosquito larvae.Results: Of the 102 houses surveyed, 20 of the houses were infested with Aedes larvae. A total of 182 containers were found in these households of which 47 containers were positive for Aedes larvae. Coconut shells, plastic, metal and discarded containers were the most often found breeding sites.Conclusions: The larval surveillance indicators among the households surveyed revealed a very high risk of future dengue outbreak in the village. All the containers examined including those positive for Aedes larvae were safely disposed.
Closure of an Oroantral Communication Using Leucocyte-Platelet Rich Fibrin: A Novel Technique Using Regenerative Medicine
Authors: Lee Cameron Y
Published: February 2019

Oroantral communication (OAC) is a common complication following extraction of maxillary posterior teeth because of the close anatomic proximity of the roots to the maxillary sinus. The most frequent methods described in the literature to close an oroantral communication involve buccal or palatal rotational advancement flap surgery or use of the buccal fat pad. These surgical procedures require advanced surgical skill and are associated with donor sit morbidity, such as avascular flap necrosis that can lead to soft tissue graft failure to close the OAC, infection and extreme postoperative patient discomfort that affects patient quality of life. This paper describes a novel technique using leucocyte platelet-rich fibrin matrix obtained from the patient’s own venous blood that leads to predictable soft tissue regeneration and closure of the OAC. This regenerative medicine procedure is clinician friendly, less traumatic compared to traditional methods of OAC closure with minimal postoperative recovery for the patient.

O pimentão Capsicum annuum L., é uma hortaliça de extrema importância econômica no Brasil. A informação da composição nutricional dos alimentos é um parâmetro que auxilia os consumidores durante a escolha dos produtos. O trabalho objetivou avaliar a composição centesimal e os teores de açúcares do pimentão verde in natura e seco a 60 oC, a fim de identificar se esses componentes permaneceram após a secagem. O experimento foi conduzido conforme delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com 2 tratamentos e cinco repetições. Foram utilizados pimentões verdes do CEASA da cidade de Patos, Paraíba. Os pimentões foram acondicionados em caixas plásticas e transportados para o laboratório onde foram selecionados, lavados, sanitizados, processados e secos em estufa com circulação e renovação de ar a 60 ºC. Ao término da secagem foi realizada a trituração e peneiramento para proceder às análises de umidade, cinzas, lipídios, proteínas e açúcares totais e redutores. Os teores de carboidratos foram calculados pela diferença entre 100 e a soma das percentagens de umidade, proteína, lipídeos e cinzas. O valor energético foi calculado multiplicando-se esses valores pelos fatores atwater. Os componentes apresentaram diferença significativa nos tratamentos estudados, observou-se que houve um aumento dos macronutrientes após a secagem. A composição centesimal da farinha de pimentão concentrou-se após à secagem, isso indica que o método aplicado é uma alternativa para aproveitar as grandes produções no período de safra.

Published: February 2019

Purpose of the study:The purpose of this study is to present the Islamic conception on the disasters that accepted by the communityfrom a case of Aceh of post the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.

Methodology:The data was collected from several interviews with the key persons in tsunami-affected areas. The interviewed key persons wereTengkus or Ulamaswho havea role in constructing the community disaster perception, community members and related stakeholders. The interview results were identified and coded based on the similarity and related to the study purpose.

Main Findings:The interpretation of disaster based on the religious context of post the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami has been trended negatively to construct the community’s disaster perception. The perceptions are most driven by the key person in society such as Tengkus or Ulamasbut it seems to be far from disaster risk reduction goals. The disaster risk reduction efforts should pay on this matter in order to make community more resilient to face future disasters.

Applications of this study:This study can be useful as the important noted in strengthening and managing disaster risk perception through community disaster preparedness based on scientific explanation and its relationship to the religious perspectives. The findings from this study could be included through the disaster risk reduction effort, policy, programs.

Novelty/Originalityof this study:The originality of this study lays on the fact that the religious leaders in the community such as Tengkusor Ulama of post the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami take roles in constructing the community disaster perceptions. Researchers have not yet fully studied the development process of disaster perception based on the religious perspectives of post-disaster and how to deal on it.

Published: February 2019

Interior design studios have an important place in interior architecture education. Because these studios are the environments that the student experiences with their knowledge about the profession within the scope of the project and various design approaches. The student also learns to manage the project process in a limited time frame while gaining design skills in this environment. The interior design project covered in this article was worked by the author at the Coburg Applied Sciences and Arts University in Coburg, Bavaria, Germany, during the fall semester of 2012-2013. The purpose of this article is to provide the other students and educators benefit in design education by putting forward the method observed in the project process and observed that the student is beneficial. "Conceptualization" is used as a method in the project. Based on the main concept of the project, the sub-concepts produced are scored as the dominance for each space, and the space-concept tables are created. Thus, the continuity of the design philosophy has been preserved from the determined concept to the final product. As a result, it has been observed that the table of definite design decisions in hand helps the student to use time efficiently and make quick decisions.Keywords: Interior design studio; interior design education; concept project; conceptual design; cemetery building
Health And Safety Instructions In The Markets
Authors: Çolak Mehmet , Cetin Tahsin , CÌ§ınar Batuhan
Published: February 2019

The concept of Occupational Health and Safety has become increasingly important as a result of increased industrialization and the development of new technologies all over the world. The basic philosophy of Occupational Health and Safety is to reduce the number of work accidents and to provide a healthier work environment for employees. The most risky sectors in the world are designated as mining, agriculture, forestry and construction. Markets are classified as "Dangerous Classes of Occupational Health and Safety" issued by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security (ILO, 2004). When the risks are taken into consideration, marketing companies should perform risk analysis to ensure that hazards and problems will ocur. In this context, it is needed to provide and implement training on occupational health and safety regularly in order to protect against the identified risks. Periodic evaluations are performed at regular intervals that decrease in loss of life and property at marketing companies, both tangible as well as intangible losses will be reduced.

Keywords: Markets, risk analyse, occupational health and safety.

Using The Interactive Graphic Syllabus In The Teaching Of Economics
Authors: Moosavian Seyyed Ali Zeytoon Nejad
Published: February 2019

Syllabus is essentially a concise outline of a course of study, and conventionally a text document. In the past few decades, however, two novel variations of syllabus have emerged, namely “the Graphic Syllabus” and “the Interactive Syllabus”. Each of these two variations of syllabus has its own special advantages. The present paper argues that there could be devised a new combined version of the two mentioned variations, called “the Interactive Graphic Syllabus”, which can potentially bring us the advantages of both at the same time. Specifically, using a well-designed Interactive Graphic syllabus can bring about many advantages such as clarifying complex relationships; causing a better retention; needing less cognitive energy for interpretation; helping instructors identify any snags in their course organization; capability of being integrated easily into a course management system; appealing to many of learning styles and engaging students with different learning styles. In addition to the introduction of the notion of the Interactive Graphic Syllabus, in order to put this idea into action in the context of economics, the present paper takes advantage of the visual “big picture” of intermediate macroeconomics that has already been proposed by Moosavian (2016a). The present paper describes a web-page that contains a web-based interactive graphic of the aforementioned macroeconomics visual “big picture”. It is argued that this graphic can be used as a cyber-resource to technologically support the above-mentioned visual “big picture”, which comprises twenty-seven interrelated macroeconomic diagrams, and gives some details on the types of their relationships. Furthermore, it provides numerous internet links to other relevant instructional resources offered by well-known universities, allowing the students to somehow zoom in the macroeconomics “big picture”. Moreover, this web-page provides roughly one hundred links to short instructional videos. More interestingly, it responds interactively, if one hovers over a particular diagram, by highlighting the routes through which the final macroeconomic general equilibrium is affected by any change in that particular diagram. The interactive graphic went online on 10/30/2015 at the URL http://zeytoonnejad.com/macrobigpic.aspx and is still under minor modification.
Using Computer Output As A Vehicle For Self-Directed Study Of Financial Theory: The Art Of Teaching Backwards
Authors: Campbell Robert D.
Published: February 2019

This paper presents an example of an approach to teaching financial theory at the college and post-graduate levels that I call “teaching backwards”. In the more traditional approach, instructors begin by explaining financial theory, then proceed to give examples of the way this theory can be applied to a business problem, structuring data around the predetermined theory. When teaching backwards we reverse the process, suggesting various ways to organize and report data related to a business problem and then inviting students to analyze these data to identify relationships between the variables that enable them to see potential applications of financial theory, or even to discover the theory itself. The example presented employs computer modeling and computer simulation as essential enabling tools for self-directed learning.
Finding The Beta For A Portfolio Isn't Obvious: An Educational Example
Authors: Chong James , Jennings William P. , Phillips G. Michael
Published: February 2019

When a portfolio is not actively managed to maintain a fixed investment percentage in each asset but rather maintains a fixed number of shares for each asset, the portfolio weights will change over time because the market returns of the different assets will not be the same.  Consequently, portfolio betas computed as a linear combination of asset betas, which is the usual practice, will be different from betas computed using regression techniques on portfolio returns as is done when evaluating individual assets and mutual funds.  The alternative approaches can result in quite different beta statistics and, consequently, inconsistent decisions depending on which method is used.
Raising Cash Under Duress And The Role Of Cash Value Life Insurance: An Educational Example
Authors: Russell David T. , Chong James T. , Phillips G. Michael
Published: February 2019

Consumers face hard choices when they need cash quickly. Hard choices can lead to emotional or economically unsound decisions. Traditional classroom discussions of raising funds to pay for expenses usually focus on generating income, borrowing, or the sale of real and financial assets, if hardship is discussed at all. However, many families have additional “non-traditional” sources of cash. This article examines the use of life insurance surrenders and policy loans as a source of funds for both routine funding needs as well as a source of emergency financing. The article concludes with a review of the economic considerations of life insurance for Insurance and Financial Planning educators and students.

The foreign exchange (FX) market is an important chapter in international finance. Understanding the market microstructure is critical for learning the FX market.  To assist students better understand the FX market microstructure, an instructor can use an event study with minute-by-minute quote data provided in the Excel assignment, asking students to investigate the impact of an event on the bid-ask spread and triangular arbitrage opportunities.  This pedagogical paper provides two examples of making the Excel assignment for reference.
Certified Nursing Assistants’ Perceptions And Generational Differences
Authors: Hagerty Debra , Buelow Janet R.
Published: February 2019

Certified nursing assistants (CNAs) are the heart and soul of long-care facilities. This study surveyed their perceptions of nursing home administrators, supervisors, and coworkers, and then compared generational differences. Regardless of generation, CNAs reported a high sense of intrinsic satisfaction, commitment to their nursing home, and supervisor support. However, all generations of CNAs perceived their administrators as rather insensitive by not showing concern for their health, not calling in additional help when needed, nor making allowances for family emergencies. Two significant generational differences were found: 1) older CNAs, or baby boomers, felt their supervisor didn’t understand their work problems and needs and 2) younger CNAs (Millennials) reported more internal gossiping and negative peer interactions than did older CNAs. These findings are useful as administrators and supervisors strive to create a supportive work environment.
Storytelling And Reflective Pedagogy: Transforming Nursing Education Through Faculty Development
Authors: Phillips Candice , Bassell Kellie , Fillmore Laura
Published: February 2019

Nurse educators require pedagogical approaches beyond traditional methods to facilitate student learning of new competencies to practice in complex health care environments. However, little direction is available about how to effectively transform education. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to develop and implement steps to initiate change in both systems and processes of teaching and learning; to provide an efficient, sustainable method to incorporate transformative pedagogies through innovative faculty development; and, to collect outcomes of an e-Learning course to support teaching, using Kirkpatrick’s 4-level Model. An innovative course using storytelling and reflective pedagogy was developed to guide faculty into a transformative learning experience to challenge assumptions, gather insights, and raise questions about teaching practices. Pre- and post-course surveys captured data across three levels: satisfaction, knowledge and skill acquisition, and change in behavior. Forty-five participants were initially evaluated, while 31 were eligible for evaluation at three months. Follow-up survey results yielded a 42% response rate. Pre- and post-surveys were analyzed using a two-tailed, dependent t-test. Significant gains were recorded across all three areas (p<0.05), with large to medium effect size noted using Cohen’s d. Follow-up surveys revealed a significant change in knowledge (p<0.05), whereas the skill and attitude effect change were not statistically significant (p<0.05). Results suggest storytelling and reflective pedagogy are effective for faculty to confront and resolve actual and desired teaching practices, and that faculty placed value on reflection to facilitate self-awareness, question assumptions, and nurture ideas about personal and professional growth.
Investigation Of Obesity-Related Mortality Rates In Delaware
Authors: D’Souza Malcolm J. , Wentzien Derald E. , Bautista Riza C. , Gross Catherine C.
Published: February 2019

As Delaware’s adult obesity crisis continues to be a leading public health concern, we evaluated Delaware’s 1999–2014 vital records to examine the association between obesity and mortality. We used the Delaware population death records from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) WONDER database and the Delaware Health Statistics Center (DHSC). Together with the vital records, we incorporated Microsoft Excel, SAS (Statistical Analysis System) and GIS (geographic information system) tools to analyze obesity influences from county residence, economic status, education, gender, and race. Using the 15-year (1999–2014) time span with the CDC WONDER database, we observed a statistically significant 28.7% increase in the age-adjusted Delaware obesity-related mortality rates (where obesity was a contributory factor). Furthermore, obesity influenced death counts in all three Delaware counties (New Castle, Kent, and Sussex). Kent County experienced the largest increase (66.0%), followed by New Castle County (47.4%), and Sussex County (25.2%). The DHSC mortality rates for all leading causes of death from 2000 to 2011 indicated relatively stable mortality rates for Delaware. However, using CDC WONDER data, the Delaware mortality rate for obesity as a single underlying cause in 2011 was 56.9% higher than mortality rate in 2000.
