”Som kompisar, fast vuxna”: relationens betydelse för barns aktörskap i fritidshem
Authors: Lager Karin
Published: February 2022

FN:s konvention om barnets rättigheter blev lag i Sverige den 1 januari 2020 och den här studien tar utgångspunkt i de artiklar som handlar om barns rätt att göra sin röst hörd och bli lyssnade på samt barns rätt till fritid, lek och vila. Syftet är att utifrån ett barnrättsperspektiv undersöka på vilka sätt barns aktörskap framträder i deras uttryckta förväntningar på lärare i fritidshem. Studien inramas av barndomssociologiska utgångspunkter och social relationell teori för att fördjupa förståelsen av barns aktörskap i samspel med lärarna i fritidshemmet. I studien har barnintervjuer använts för analys; sammantaget intervjuades 170 barn i åldrarna 6–11 år. Relationens betydelse för barns aktörskap analyseras med utgångspunkt från följande teman: Lärare som skapar relationer för välbefinnande, Lärare som erbjuder barn att vara medskapare i sitt vardagsliv och Lärare som inspirerar.

“Like friends, although they are adults”: the importance of relationship for children's participation in school-age educare
The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child was implemented in Swedish law on the 1st of January 2020, and this study is based on the articles on children’s right to make their voices heard and be listened to, and children’s right to leisure, play and recreation. The purpose of the study is to examine, from a child rights perspective, the way in which children’s agency appear in their expressed expectations of teachers in school-age educare. The study is framed by sociology of childhood and social relational theory to deepen the understanding of children’s participation in interaction with their teachers. A total of 170 children aged 6–11 years were interviewed, and the interviews were analysed. The results are presented divided into in the following themes: Teachers who create relationships for well-being, Teachers who offer children to be co-creators in their everyday lives and Teachers who inspire.
Å oppdage barn med motoriske utfordringer i barnehagen
Authors: Benden Nina Margrete Lilo Fagertun , Söderström Sylvia
Published: February 2022

Ansatte i barnehager er sentrale når det gjelder å oppdage barn med motoriske utfordringer. Flere yrkesgrupper innenfor den pedagogiske og helsefaglige retningen kan støtte disse barna. Målet med denne studien var å undersøke hvordan barnehageansatte oppdager og vurderer små barns behov for støtte til motorisk utvikling. Datagrunnlaget er kvalitative intervju med sju ansatte i to barnehager. Funnene analyseres ved bruk av systematisk tekstkondensering. Den første mistanken kommer som summen av flere observasjoner som bryter med normative forventninger om motorisk adferd. Den følges opp med systematisk observasjon i barnehagen. Vurderinger gjøres med bakgrunn i fagkunnskap og erfaring. De ansatte foretrekker observasjon som innpasses i barnehagehverdagen. Funnene diskuteres under overskriftene Erfaring og profesjonskunnskap og Barnehagens mandat. Ulike syn på hva som er normal motorisk utvikling, kan bidra til ulikheter i hva som fanges opp, og følgelig også påvirke mulighetene til videre tverrfaglig samarbeid rundt barn med motoriske utfordringer.

Discovering children with motor difficulties in ECEC facilities.
Employees in Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) facilities are essential in discovering children with motor difficulties. The children may receive support from professionals with pedagogic and health backgrounds. The aim of the study was to examine how employees in Norwegian ECEC facilities discover and assess children’s need for support in their motor development. Qualitative interviews with 7 employees in 2 ECEC facilities. The data was analyzed using STC. Realization occurs as the sum of several observations of motor behavior that differ from expectations. It is followed up by systematic observation in the facility. Assessments are based on the employees’ expertise and experience. The employees prefer integrating observation in daily life in the ECEC facility. The findings are discussed under the headlines Experience and professional knowledge and the kindergarten’s mandate. Differing views on normal motor development can affect what is detected, and consequently the opportunities for further interdisciplinary collaboration around children with motor difficulties.
Ett eget utrymme: Barns perspektiv på kontroll i relation till fritidshemmets gränser
Authors: Lago Lina , Elvstrand Helene
Published: February 2022

I denna studie undersöks barns beskrivningar av att sluta i fritidshem med fokus på institutionell ordning och institutionella gränser mellan skola, fritidshem och hem. Studien bygger på intervjuer med 22 nio- till tioåringar som står inför att sluta i fritidshem. Intervjuerna analyseras utifrån barndomssociologiska och symbolisk interaktionistiska utgångspunkter. Resultaten visar att en huvudangelägenhet när barnen talar om sina erfarenheter av fritidshemmet är kontroll. Med kontroll avses ett gränsarbete där fritidshem förhålls mot skola och hem. Mot skolan sker en gränsuppluckring i termer av formaliserad undervisning och mot hemmet i termer av fritid. Aspekter som blir särskilt viktiga för barnen att ha kontroll över är aktiviteter och relationer. Att det uppstår gränsarbete mellan fritidshem och omgivande domäner kan bero på att fritidshemmets institutionella ordning upplevs som otydlig i detta gränsarbete. Spänningen mellan att ha kontroll och att bli kontrollerad blir viktig i detta avseende.
English abstract
A space of one’s own: Children’s perspectives on control and the boundaries of school-age educare
This study examines boundaries between after school care often called school-age educare (SAEC), school, and home, focusing on children’s own experiences in relation to institutional order. The theoretical basis of the study is the sociology of childhood and symbolic interactionism. Interviews with 22 nine to ten-year-olds, who are about to leave SAEC, are analyzed showing that the children’s main concern is control, and that the institutional order of SAEC can be understood as a tension between being controlled and having control. Control in relation to SAEC is understood through border work where SAEC is compared with school as well as home. The border to school is blurred in terms of how the children experience formalized teaching and the border to home is blurred in terms of how the children experience leisure. Two aspects of particular interest to the children are control over activities and control over relationships.

Authors: Arulkadacham Lilani , McKenzie Stephen , Aziz Zahra , Chung Jennifer , Dyer Kyle , Holt Christopher , Garivaldis Filia , Mundy Matthew
Published: February 2022

Despite the increase in the availability and popularity of online educational programs, there is a lack of understanding of non-academic as well as academic predictors of online student success. In this study, we have investigated predictors of tertiary level student success via the Psychology discipline, a popular online subject. A systematic literature review, followed by focus groups with students and instructors from online Psychology courses, revealed several important findings including a profile of general predictors of online student success and the existence of discipline-specific online student success predictors which can be extended to a variety of health care courses. Understanding the indicators of effective online education will allow course designers and instructors to develop strategies specific to the online mode and particular disciplines, enabling implementation of evidence-based education practices, which can support academic and non-academic student success in a range of online courses.

Prácticas educativas e interculturales como proceso formativo de jóvenes estudiantes de educación superior
Authors: González Machado Emilia Cristina , Santillán-Anguiano Ernesto Israel
Published: February 2022

Se ha descrito la práctica educativa como experiencia comunitaria en un grupo de jóvenes estudiantes de la Universidad Autónoma de Baja California, institución de educación superior pública en el norte de México. Fue sustentada en el paradigma de la interculturalidad, para promover desde la Universidad, las dimensiones críticas y éticas como elementos de acercamiento a la diversidad social, cultural y económica en la comunidad indígena de Santa Catarina, ubicada en la región. La metodología fue cualitativa, desde una postura sociocrítica de la educación, por lo que supone no solo un nivel de profundización interpretativo, sino que busca incorporar transformaciones a las realidades sociales.  Entre los principales resultados se identificaron cuatro aprendizajes generales expresados por los estudiantes participantes: 1) Conocimiento y aprendizaje a partir de experiencias, 2) Sensibilidad para ayudar y apoyar a la comunidad, 3) Las necesidades, historia, resistencia por los derechos y el territorio, y, 4) El diálogo como medio para eliminar la discriminación. Como conclusiones se pone el acento en la posibilidad de generar aprendizajes significativos en la formación profesional universitaria a través de las experiencias interculturales que trasciendan el espacio áulico.
Des¿igualdad? económica en hogares rurales de Quintana Roo, México (2000-2018)
Authors: Barrera Rojas Miguel Ángel , Camargo Hoffner Rosa Amairamy , Koyoc Mukul Germán Antonio
Published: February 2022

En la literatura académica existe la postura de que las regiones rurales e indígenas que expulsan mano de obra a regiones urbanas de mayor tamaño, tienden a generar procesos de desigualdad en el ingreso. A partir de esa premisa se han analizado las zonas rurales de Quintana Roo, México, si es que típicamente expulsan mano de obra a regiones como la Riviera Maya y la Costa Maya, se han comenzado a generar las brechas que se señalan en la teoría. Para ello, se analizaron los módulos de condiciones sociales de la Encuesta Nacional de Ingreso y Gasto 2000-2018 de los Hogares de México (ENIGH). Con dichos datos se estimó el coeficiente de Gini en hogares rurales y se trazó la curva de Lorenz para ilustrar los niveles de desigualdad y acumulación. Entre los resultados más importantes está el hecho de que los hogares rurales de Quintana Roo escapan a los postulados teóricos, puesto que en el período de estudio mostraron disminución leve de la desigualdad.

La investigación fue realizada en la Hacienda Hungría, Jinotega, Nicaragua, en un lote con 18 terneros afectados con papilomatosis bovina (BPV), se aplicó un diseño completamente al azar para evaluar dos tratamientos (T1 -arete de cobre, ácido yatrénico y caseína, T2 – clorobutanol, ácido yatrénico y caseína) en tres tipos de papilomas con tres repeticiones de seis animales, bajo condiciones controladas. Se consideró el número y tipo de papilomas que iban desapareciendo por tratamiento, el comportamiento del hematocrito y la duración del tratamiento. Los datos fueron transformados con logaritmo natural y se procesaron con el programa estadístico InfoStat 1.1., utilizando Anova y la prueba de separación de Tukey; para la variable del hematocrito se utilizó la prueba de T-Student. Con arete de cobre se presenta una mayor disminución en la cantidad de papilomas y tiempo en días, no se encontró diferencia significativa entre los tratamientos. Entre hematocrito inicial y final hubo diferencia significativa (p<0.05), con arete de cobre se presentaron los niveles más bajos. Ambos tratamientos controlan la papilomatosis bovina sin considerar el tipo según su forma. El tratamiento con arete de cobre no se puede exceder de seis semanas porque provoca un déficit en el hematocrito de los animales tratados.

Published: February 2022

Abstract:Objectives: To quantify the frequency of incidental hepatocellular carcinoma (iHCC) and evaluate the reasons for liver transplantation in the study population and the accuracy of imaging tests in diagnosing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in a liver transplant referral center. Methods: Retrospective sectional study conducted based on 426 medical records of patients who underwent liver transplantation at the Hospital Santa Isabel in Blumenau (SC), between January 2016 and December 2019. The pathology reports of the explanted livers, the evolution of the patients, and the reports of the imaging exams performed up to six months before the transplant were evaluated. Patients under 18 years of age, history of retransplantation, fulminant liver failure, metabolic liver disease, autoimmune hepatitis, and other etiologies of liver failure with a lower risk of developing HCC were excluded. Results: Of the 426 transplant patients, 89 were excluded. Among those included, 190 (56.38%) were transplanted for cirrhosis without previously diagnosed HCC and 147 (43.62%) for previously diagnosed HCC. The frequency of iHCC was 7.89% (15/190). Hepatitis C virus was more frequent among patients with previously diagnosed HCC than among those with iHCC (p = 0.033). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was the most sensitive and least specific test (S = 100%; E = 75.76%). Computed tomography (CT) showed high sensitivity and specificity (S = 93.75%; E = 90%), while ultrasonography showed low sensitivity and high specificity (S = 56.76%; E = 97.86%). Conclusion: This study found similar data to the international literature regarding the frequency of iHCC. Ultrasonography was the least sensitive test, while CT and MRI showed higher sensitivity than seen in the literature. The MRI showed lower specificity than most of the references analyzed.

Management of bronchopulmonary neuroendocrine tumors (CME article)
Authors: Gupta Garima , Ramirez Robert A , Chauhan Aman
Published: February 2022

Bronchopulmonary neuroendocrine tumors (BPNETs) are the second most common subset of NETs after gastroenteropancreatic NETs. Historically, most clinical studies have excluded BPNETs during drug development and the data is often extrapolated from non-BPNETs. However, growing burden of BPNETs and the development of novel treatment strategies including targeted therapies and radiopharmaceuticals have paved the way for revisiting treatment strategies. In this review, we go over recent advances in the management of BPNETs and summarize consensus guidelines with the help of research data and clinical scenarios.

Foreword to the International Journal of Coercion, Abuse, & Manipulation Special Edition
Authors: Dubrow-Marshall Rod
Published: February 2022

Coercion, abuse, and manipulation is understood and defined across a wide array of academic, practice, and geographical boundaries. This malaise has no respect for the borders that society erects and the laws that reflect them. Those who perpetrate such coercion and abuse are also not concerned about the niceties of academic or legal definition and jurisdiction. The articles that comprise this special edition of The International Journal of Coercion, Abuse, and Manipulation (IJCAM), are a sad yet fitting testament to the boundaryless and intersectional world of coercion and its harmful effects that we inhabit. They are also a vivid commentary and analysis on how the legal system is dealing with these abuses and seeking to bring offenders to justice.
A harmonic analysis of 100 mb zonal winds in the tropics
Authors: WALKER J. M.
Published: February 2022

Monthly-mean 100 mb zonal wind observations from stations in, or on the fringe of, the tropics have been subjected to Fourier analysis.
        Annual and semi-annual harmonics are evident at many stations, and superpositions of these two harmonics reproduce observations quite well at these stations. Dates corresponding to greatest rates of change of zonal-wind velocity coincide well with the onset and retreat of summer monsoon circulations, except over the western North Pacific Ocean, where the annual harmonic behaves rather differently from elsewhere. It is clear that upper easterlies associated with summer monsoon circulations influence upper-wind patterns well beyond those areas generally considered to be monsoonal on the basis of rainfall and surface-wind reversals.

Annual pressure oscillation from sea level to I00 mb in the northern hemisphere
Authors: ASNANI G. C. , MISHRA S. K.
Published: February 2022

From climatological normals of about 250 upper air observatories in the northern hemisphere, the annual mean, the annual oscillation and the semi-annual oscillation in the geopotential height of 850, 700, 500, 300, 200 and 100 mb pressure levels have been worked out; while the features of semi-annual oscillation are discussed elsewhere (Asnani and Verma 1975). The characteristics of annual mean, and annual oscillation are presented here. At long and above 700 mb level the maximum occurs first at the polar latitudes and then at sub-tropical latitudes with a lag 300 of about 3 to 4 weeks. At and south of won the amplitude is maximum at 200-mb level; at higher latitudes, the amplitude increases upto 100-mb level, the last level of our analysis.

           The annual mean picture as well as the annual oscillation exhibit some special features over the Asian region.
Computation of vertical velocity incorporating release of latent heat of condensation
Authors: RAO K. V. , RAJ AMANI S.
Published: February 2022

The vorticity equation for geostrophic motion, the thermodynamic energy equation and the equation of continuity for moisture have been used to compute vertical velocities taking into account the release of latent heat of condensation. Computations by this model in the case of a synoptic situation show that incorporation of latent heat release in the model increases considerably the magnitude of upward vertical velocity at all levels where condensation takes place. The effects of friction and topography are discernible only at 1000 mb and 850-mb levels.

Circulation pattern in the equatorial stratosphere and its relation with the circulations in the mesosphere and upper troposphere -Part I
Authors: GEORGE P. A. , NARAYANAN V.
Published: February 2022

The zonal circulations in the equatorial stratosphere and mesosphere over the Indian Ocean region undergo cyclic oscillations having varying degrees of periodicity. The oscillation is biennial in the middle stratosphere (25-35 km) where westerlies interrupt the prevailing easterlies in alternate years. The period of one cycle of westerlies and easterlies decrease gradually, towards higher as well as lower levels, becoming semi-annual in the lower mesosphere and annual in the upper troposphere. The lower stratosphere is characterised by a thin stream of westerlies meandering around the globe within about 10" on either sides of the equator. Because of the seasonal north-south bodily shift of the entire stream, the person westerlies exist over Trivandrum only for about 8 months of the year. During this period the upper tropospheric easterly jet would be completely absent. Although the stratosphere is considered as a very stable region with the stratopause acting as a lid over it, the strato-mesospheric circulations are found to have some influence on the tropospheric monsoonal circulations.

Authors: SHAHA S. K. , BANERJEE J. R.
Published: February 2022

The statistical technique of Fisher (1924) was used to examine the influence of meteorological parameters on the yield of cotton crop at Coimbatore. It was observed that the rainfall and hours of sunshine should be more than their normal values for a good crop. More humidity during elongation and branching of the crop is useful for more yield. A lower minimum temperature during sowing period and high maximum and minimum temperatures during flowering are attributed to be beneficial for a better cotton crop.
Structure of the southwest monsoon near the equator during Monex 1973
Authors: PANT M. C.
Published: February 2022

The structure, of, the southwest monsoon near the equator over the west  Indian Ocean during June 1973 has been studied by utilising MONEX 1973 data. It is found that the equatorial belt extending from the east African coast to about 75°E can broadly be divided into three regions, viz., (i) the western region-extending from the east African coast to, about 56°E (ii) the central region -from 56° to about 65°E and (iii) the eastern region-east of 650 E. The vertical fields of wind, temperature and moisture markedly differ from each other over these region . While over the western, and eastern regions deep convective activity is observed, the central region is characterized by a large-scale sinking of air in the mid-tropospheric levels. Due to this dynamic process, the mid-tropospheric westerlies suffer considerable modification and become increasingly warm and dry downstream over the central region.
Behaviour of monsoon depressions in a primitive equation barotropic model
Authors: SAHA SURANJANA
Published: February 2022

A single-level primitive equation model is used to predict the movement of monsoon depressions over the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal. The data used are for the Monsoon Experiment-1979 (MONEX- 79). The model formulation is based on shallow water equations. The finite-differencing scheme is designed to conserve total energy and mass over the domain during the, course of integration. The initial input to the model is the subjectively analysed wind field from which geopotential field is derived through balance wind relation. Dynamic initiallzation,is used to balance the mass and wind fields consistent with the model equations. The movement of three depressions has been studied. The model is able to predict their movement to a limited degree of accuracy. The total energy IS conserved well during the course of integration.

Rainfall condition in Bangladesh is or seasonal type having maximum monsoonal rain during June-September. During other months of the year the rainfall intensity decreases substantially. In this paper efforts have been made to Investigate Into the occurrence or monthly and annual aridity and drought conditions of Bangladesh. Towards this end, rainfall and temperature data for 31 years (1949-1979) have been collected and processed. “Aridity Index" and 'Drought Index" have been used in this study. It is found that aridity condition generally exists over almost all parts of Bangladesh during November-March while the same prevails a bit longer period, i.e., upto April for the northwestern and western parts of Bangladesh. Drought condition is just irregular and spatially limited meteorological phenomenon in Bangladesh.

Authors: BISWAS B. C. , KHAMBETE N. N.
Published: February 2022

West Rajasthan and adjoining part or Gujarat come under the arid zone or India. The climatic features of this area with particular reference to rainfall and potential evapotranspiration are described. The main emphasis, in the paper has been given on short period rainfall analysis, moisture availability index and estimated soil moisture. Computations have been made for three stations in the arid zone, one station in semi-arid zone and two stations of intermediate type. By fitting Incomplete Gamma Distribution, weekly minimum assured rainfall has been computed at different probability levels. The values so obtained for 30% and 50% probability levels have been compared with the weekly rainfall average and the computed potential evapotranspiration. The weekly moisture availability index has been computed on the basis of minimum assured rainfall at 50% probability level. Weekly soil moisture has been estimated by water balance technique. On the basis of these factors, possible crop growing season has been indicated.

Published: February 2022

Introduction:

Obesity is a public health epidemic that is projected to grow in coming years. Observational data on the epidemiologic profile and immediate postoperative outcomes of obesity and morbid obesity after revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) are limited.

Methods:

Discharge data from the National Inpatient Sample was used to identify patients who underwent rTKA from 2006 to 2015. Patients were stratified into morbidly obese, obese, and not obese control cohorts. An analysis was performed to compare etiology of revision, demographic and medical comorbidity profiles, and immediate in-hospital economic and complication outcomes after rTKA.

Results:

An estimated 605,603 rTKAs were included in this analysis. Morbidly obese and obese patients were at significantly higher risk for any complication than not obese patients. Patients with obesity were associated with an increased risk of postoperative anemia but a lower risk of peripheral vascular disease and gastrointestinal, and hematoma/seroma complications compared with not obese patients. Patients with morbid obesity were associated with an increased risk of any, hematoma/seroma, wound dehiscence, postoperative infection, pulmonary embolism, and postoperative anemia complications and a lower risk of gastrointestinal complications when compared with not obese patients. Morbidly obese patients had a significantly longer length of stay than both obese and not obese patients, while no significant difference in length of stay was observed between obese and not obese patients.

Discussion:

Morbidly obese patients are at higher odds for worse postoperative medical and economic outcomes compared with those with obesity after rTKA. As the number of patients with obesity and morbid obesity continues to rise, these risk factors should be considered in preoperative discussions and perioperative protocol optimization.

Abdominal pain is a common presentation in the outpatient setting. Patients presenting to the emergency department with RUQ pain are often diagnosed with acute cholecystitis. The spectrum of diseases is also associated with RUQ pain including choledocholithiasis, biliary colic and liver pathologies. Ultrasoundis the first-line imaging modality opted to diagnose the cause of RUQ pain. More than one-third of patients suspected of having acute cholecystitis and right upper quadrant pain after the initial clinical evaluation are ultimately proved to have a different diagnosis.The objective of this study is to find sonographic findings in patients with acute RUQ pain and establish reasons of using Ultrasound in these circumstances. Material and Method: A total of 385 cases who were presented with RUQ pain in Sanabil Health Services Hospital were included in this descriptive observational study. 190 were female and 195 were male with a mean age of 44.7±13.4 years. A thorough scan of complete abdomen was done and results were analyzed through IBM SPSS statistics 28.0 version 2021. Results:Out of total 385 patients, 91 patients (23.6%) were suffering from cholelithiasis and only 19 (5.0%) of them had cholecystitis which are major causes of right upper quadrant pain. Majority of patients (26.8%) were diagnosed with Fatty liver disease, Obstructive kidney disease (17.4%) and a significant number of patients (14.5%) were also normal on Ultrasound scan. Conclusion:The Ultrasonographic diagnosis of majority of patients who are presented with right upper quadrant pain is fatty liver disease and other pathologies which are known to not cause any pain in right upper quadrant

The current study evaluated the antibacterial activity of dichloromethane and methanol (DCM-MeOH) extracts of four Kenyan orchid species against three selected bacterial strains. Extracts of E1 (Ansellia Africana), E2 (Trydactylescottelli), E3 (Polystachyabella) and E4 (Liparis bowkeri) were screened for antibacterial activity against staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa using agar disc diffusion. Ampicillin was included as a positive control. Qualitative analysis revealed the presence of flavonoids, saponins, alkaloids, tannins, terpenoids, steroids and glycosides. Trydactyle scottelli and Polystachyabella extracts revealed a more substantial presence of tannins and steroids, respectively, compared to others. All extracts showed varying levels of antibacterial activity against the test bacteria. However, Polystachyabella and Liparis bowkeri against Bacillus subtilis and Ansellia Africana against Pseudomonas aeruginosa exhibited higher activities similar to that of Ampicillin. The study further showed that the DCM-MeOH extracts of the four orchids contain potential compounds that should be screened for conventional management of bacterial infections.
Engagement Education: A Model of Community-Youth Engagement in Rural Appalachia
Authors: Casapulla Sharon , Hess Michael
Published: February 2022

In this paper we present a framework for teaching and learning that applies Boyer’s definition of engaged scholarship to K–12 education by engaging students, teachers, and community members as partners in learning in a reciprocal relationship that strengthens schools and communities. We call this model, which emerged during a community-based project with rural high school students, engagement education. In this model, teaching and learning are place-focused, project-based, asset-driven, and democratically oriented. We present the framework that lies at the intersection of the four approaches mentioned above by first describing each approach individually. We discuss each component of the engagement education framework within the context of the school and community-based project from which it emerged. We share the findings from a qualitative analysis of the students’ reflections at the completion of the project. Finally, we discuss implications for engaged scholars working with rural communities and schools.
