SPATIAL-ANGULAR DISTRIBUTION OF LUMINANCE IN LIGHTING DESIGN OF LIGHTING SCENES
Authors: Zheltov Viktor
Published: September 2020

The article deals with modeling the spatial-angular distribution of luminance (SADL) in lighting scenes based on the solution of the global lighting equation by local estimates of the Monte Carlo method. Based on the SADL, a new criterion for lighting quality is formulated, which, in contrast to the generally accepted UGR to date, does not take into account the point glare sources, but directly the continuous distribution of luminance. The proposed criterion is applied in the analysis of lighting at some stations of the Moscow metro, which shows its correlation with the feelings of real observers.

Authors: BAYER Nükhet , ŞAHİN İsmet
Published: September 2020

This study aims to was to investigate the relationship between perceived ethical leadership, organizational justice, and turnover intention among nurses. The research was conducted in a general-purpose private hospital in Ankara. The subjects of the study consist of all nurses working in the private hospital, and the sample consisted of 234 nurses who agree to participate in the study voluntarily. After the necessary permissions were obtained, the data were collected with a structured data collection tool based on the factual and behavioral attitude measurement consisting of personal information form, ethical leadership, organizational justice and turnover intention scales. The scores of the nurses' ethical leadership and organizational justice scales were above average, however, the score of turnover intention scale was below the average. While there was a strong linear positive relationship between ethical leadership and organizational justice, there was a linear negative medium level relationship between organizational justice and turnover intention. There was a linear negative and significant relationship between ethical leadership and turnover intention. The study concludes that ethical leadership will increase the perception of justice in the organization and reduce turnover intention amongst nurses.
Socioeconomic Status and Dehumanization in India: Elaboration of the Stereotype Content Model in a non-WEIRD sample
Authors: Khatry Priyanka , Manokara Kunalan , Harris Lasana
Published: September 2020

A perceiver’s socioeconomic status (SES) should influence social perceptions towards others. However, there is little evidence for this effect within and beyond Western samples. We hence evaluate the relationship between perceiver SES and dehumanized perception in a society where status is historically defined: India. Across two studies, we hypothesized that perceiver SES would predict dehumanization towards societal outcasts – beggars – and norm-violators. Replicating previous work, in Study 1, upper-SES perceivers dehumanized beggars more than lower-SES perceivers; accounted for by low self-reported contact-likelihood. In Study 2, norm-violators were perceived as less human; but more so by lower rather than upper-SES perceivers. This novel finding was partially explained by perceivers viewing female violators as less prototypical, aligned with theorizing in gender research. Our results indicate that SES influences dehumanization via contact-likelihood, as well as the perceived normativity of a targets’ behavior.
STUDENTS’ ENGAGEMENT AND ANXIETY TO ENGLISH AUTHENTIC MATERIALS IN EFL CLASSROOM
Authors: Mithcel Cania , Fuat Keyman
Published: September 2020

Research is needed on how individual difference factors such as engagement and anxiety to English authentic materials in EFL classroom. This is particularly important as there is evidence to suggest that L2 anxiety is prevalent among EFL learners, and that engagement, intertwined with motivation, is highly influenced by learning environments typically experienced by students. English as a foreign language (EFL) education across academic levels has been historically characterized as text-centered. Such teaching and learning, often focused on grammatical rather than on communicative skills, has often produced English learners unable to communicate meaningfully in the target language. Over the past two decades, great efforts have been made in higher education to remedy this situation and to support students’ career aspirations in the era of international exchange. Examples of such efforts include making English listening and speaking (ELS) courses a regular feature in the EFL curriculum and including assessments of communicative skills (listening in particular) into the national college-level standardized tests of English proficiency. These important curricular and assessment changes lead to the increased motivation and effort among EFL students to enhance their communicative competencies; the resistance and reluctance to advance ELS competencies, however, still persist. Grounded in the social-dynamic framework perceiving language learning to be an interactive process involving motivation, cognition, and affection, in the present study we explore the relationships between (de)motivation and learning considering the influences of second language (L2) anxiety and engagement, two cognitive and affective factors central to our study.
Top-down, bottom-up and selection-history-based control of attention: A failed trichotomy? The case of Priming of pop-out (PoP)
Authors: Ramgir Aniruddha , Lamy Dominique
Published: September 2020

When we search for an object, our performance is strongly influenced by our past experience. In the lab, this influence has been demonstrated by investigating a variety of phenomena, including inter-trial priming, statistical learning and reward history, and collectively referred to as selection history. The resulting findings have led researchers to claim that selection history guides attention, thereby challenging the prevailing dichotomy, according to which attentional priority is determined solely by top-down goals and bottom-up salience. The objective of the present review is to reexamine this claim by evaluating the evidence that specifically pertains to the role of selection history in attentional guidance, rather than in later processes occurring after the target is found. We focus on one selection history phenomenon, priming of pop-out (PoP). After demarcating the conditions under which PoP effects can be dissociated from top-down effects, we review the relevant findings, while distinguishing between the main experimental rationales adopted to address this question. We conclude that despite some inconsistencies that should be resolved by further research, most of the extant empirical evidence does not support the idea that PoP affects attentional priority. We call for similar reevaluations of other selection history phenomena and caution against burying the bottom-up vs. top-down dichotomy too hastily.
ABC framework of fear of COVID-19 for psychotherapeutic intervention in Nepal: a review
Authors: Paudel Dhirendra
Published: September 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic is having an impact on physical and mental health. Most studies report the impact on mental health and mental distress during the pandemic. As a result of various stressors (such as lockdown, quarantines, and misinformation) there is heightened fear of a pandemic. The sufferer may experience a variety of symptoms of anxiety, depression, and even psychosis. In predisposed vulnerable individuals, fear of COVID-19 is perpetuating pain and dysfunction. This study discussed the ABC framework of fear and influencer to better understand the different levels of symptoms and interventions. There is an urgent need to integrate mental health into primary health-care centers. The attending physician should be aware of the stress disorders associated with the pandemic. This article introduces a handy and practical portrayal of the ABC framework that can be taught to individuals in distress during clinical visits to primary care centers providing awareness of the relationship between thinking, emotional and behavioral responses.

Published: September 2020

AbstractIntroduction: Recent research has revealed high rates of mental health issues in postgraduate researchers (PGRs). Mental ill-health is a barrier to life satisfaction and academic success. More knowledge is necessary to understand the extent and origins of mental health problems of PGRs in the UK. Aims: To assess the prevalence of anxiety, depression, sleep problems, subjective mental wellbeing, and suicide behaviours of PGRs in the UK, as well as to explore the factors that underpin these outcomes.Methods: An online survey (N=479) was used to measure the mental health outcomes, and assess the influence of demographic, trait and academic variables, and social support. Results: In this sample the prevalence of mental ill-health was high, while wellbeing was lower than in the general population. Female, non-binary and non-heterosexual PGRs had poorer mental health than their male and/or heterosexual counterparts. Researchers in the field of Arts had higher levels of wellbeing, while those in the 5th year of study or above were at a higher risk of suicidal behaviours. Resilience, adaptive perfectionism, social support and positive evaluations of progress and preparation, departmental climate, and supervisory relationship were associated with positive outcomes, while maladaptive perfectionism and workaholism were linked to the negative ones. Resilience and workaholism were the only variables that played a role in all mental health outcomes.Conclusions: The current paper contributes new knowledge about the PGR wellbeing, the prevalence of mental health symptoms, and some of the factors that shape them. Our findings imply that institutional efforts to improve PGR mental health and wellbeing should include a variety of strategies to promote equality, diversity, resilience, integration and work-life balance of PGRs.

Methods. A randomised controlled trial (RCT) was carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of a 12-week multicomponent treatment based on pain neuroscience education, therapeutic exercise, cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness, in addition to treatment as usual (TAU), compared to TAU only in patients with fibromyalgia (FM). The multicomponent treatment (2h weekly sessions) was delivered in groups of 20 participants. TAU was mainly based on pharmacotherapy. We collected data on functional impairment (the Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire [FIQR], as primary outcome), pain, fatigue, kinesiophobia, physical function, anxiety, and depressive symptoms (secondary outcomes) at baseline, at 12 weeks and, for the multicomponent group only, at 6 and 9 months. An intention to treat approach was used to analyse between-group differences. We also analysed baseline differences between responders (> 20% FIQR reduction) and non-responders and computed the number needed to treat (NNT). Results. A total of 272 patients with FM were randomly assigned to either the multicomponent treatment (n = 135) or TAU (n = 137). Significant between-group differences (p < .001) with a large effect size (Cohen’s d > .80) were found for functional impairment, pain, kinesiophobia, and physical function, whilst differences with a moderate size effect (Cohen’s d > 0.50 and < 0.80) were found for fatigue, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. Non-responders scored higher on depressive symptoms than responders at baseline. The number needed to treat was 2 (95% CI 1.7 - 2.3).Conclusions. Our results indicate that, when compared to TAU, the multicomponent treatment was effective for improving FM-related symptoms. Nevertheless, we must temper our findings in light of some methodological limitations in the study design.Impact statement●This is the first RCT showing positive effects on a wide range of clinical outcomes of a multicomponent treatment that integrates pain neuroscience education for patients with fibromyalgia.●This work reports promising results and it might be the first step towards a paradigm shift in the management of fibromyalgia.
Gendered Division of Labour during a Nationwide COVID-19 Lockdown: Implications for Relationship Problems and Satisfaction
Authors: Waddell Nina , Overall Nickola , Chang Valerie , Hammond Matthew
Published: September 2020

COVID-19 lockdowns have required many working parents to balance domestic and paid labor while confined at home. Are women and men equally sharing the workload? Are inequities in the division of labor compromising relationships? Leveraging a pre-pandemic longitudinal study of couples with young children, we examine gender differences in the division and impact of domestic and paid labor during a nationwide COVID-19 lockdown (N = 157 dyads). Women did more of the parenting and housework, whereas men engaged in more paid work and personal time, during the lockdown. Couple members agreed that women’s share of parenting, housework and personal time was unfair, but this did not protect women from the detrimental relationship outcomes associated with an inequitable share of domestic labor. A greater, and more unfair, share of parenting, housework and personal time predicted residual increases in relationship problems and decreases in relationship satisfaction for women. Exploratory analyses indicated that men who were the primary caregiver or were not working fulltime also experienced negative relationship outcomes when they did more housework and parenting. These results substantiate concerns that the COVID-19 pandemic may undermine advances toward gender equality by reinforcing inequitable divisions of labor, thereby damaging women’s relationship wellbeing.

Published: September 2020

The 2019 coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has made the world seem unpredictable. During such crises we can experience concerns that others might be against us, culminating perhaps in paranoid conspiracy theories. Here, we investigate paranoia and belief updating in an online sample (N=1,010) in the United States of America (U.S.A). We demonstrate the pandemic increased individuals’ self-rated paranoia and rendered their task-based belief updating more erratic. Local lockdown and reopening policies, as well as culture more broadly, markedly influenced participants’ belief-updating: an early and sustained lockdown rendered people’s belief updating less capricious. Masks are clearly an effective public health measure against COVID-19. However, state-mandated mask wearing increased paranoia and induced more erratic behaviour. Remarkably, this was most evident in those states where adherence to mask wearing rules was poor but where rule following is typically more common. This paranoia may explain the lack of compliance with this simple and effective countermeasure. Computational analyses of participant behaviour suggested that people with higher paranoia expected the task to be more unstable, but at the same time predicted more rewards. In a follow-up study we found people who were more paranoid endorsed conspiracies about mask-wearing and potential vaccines – again, mask attitude and conspiratorial beliefs were associated with erratic task behaviour and changed priors. Future public health responses to the pandemic might leverage these observations, mollifying paranoia and increasing adherence by tempering people’s expectations of other’s behaviour, and the environment more broadly, and reinforcing compliance.
Gendered Places: The Dimensions of Local Gender Norms Across the United States
Authors: Scarborough William , Sin Ray
Published: September 2020

In this study, we explore the dimensions of local gender norms across U.S. commuting zones. Applying hierarchical cluster analysis with four established indicators of gender norms, we find that these local cultural environments are best conceptualized with a multilevel framework describing gender norms across varying levels of detail. Broadly, commuting zones can be differentiated between those that are egalitarian and those that are traditional. Within these general categories, however, exist more complex dimensions. Gender traditional areas may be distinguished between traditional-breadwinning and traditional-essentialist, while egalitarian areas are separated into those that are liberal-egalitarian and egalitarian-essentialist. Examining the factors sustaining this spatial variation, we test the role of compositional and contextual effects. We find limited support for compositional effects, as commuting zone demographic makeup explains little variation in gender norm indicators. Instead, we find evidence that local gender norms are sustained through contextual effects where the experience of living in a particular environment shapes residents’ attitudes and behaviors. Contextual effects are exceptionally strong in areas with traditional gender norms, where residents who would otherwise hold gender egalitarian perspectives (e.g. the highly educated) have more traditional outlooks than those who share the same characteristics, but reside in places with egalitarian gender norms.
Prevalence and Pattern of Canine Impaction and Its Associated Anomalies among Orthodontic Patients Attending Tertiary Care Dental Hospital in Kathmandu
Authors: Piya Anshu , Shrestha Bikash Veer , Khapung Anju , Bhattarai Prakash
Published: September 2020

Introduction: Permanent canines are considered as the cornerstone of mouth. Canines are important for esthetics and function as they are located in the anterior segment of the mouth and help in tearing of food. An impacted tooth is that tooth that cannot or will not erupt into its normal functional occlusion due to some circumstances. Those impacted tooth are considered pathologic as they might lead to various problems like resorption of roots of adjacent teeth, cystic formation, and infection with partial eruption leading to pain and trismus.

Materials & Method: All the patients (550) being treated in department of Orthodontics in Nepal Medical College from January 2017 to December 2019 were included in the study. Patients aged 13-30 years were included in the study. Clinical examinations and panoramic radiographs of patients were taken. Anterior occlusal view was done in those patients having canine impaction to determine the patterns of impaction. Data was processed in SPSS version 16.0.

Result: Among 550 orthodontic patients, 31 patients were found to have canine impaction. Among them 18 (58.1%) were females and 13 (41.9%) were males. The overall prevalence of canine impaction was found to be 5.6%. Various dental anomalies were observed in the participants’ radiographs, the most common being the retained deciduous teeth (54.8%) followed by dilacerations of adjacent teeth (51.6%). Peg shaped lateral incisors and root resorption of adjacent tooth were almost equal (22.6%) with least being the odontomas and other impacted teeth.

Conclusion: The prevalence of canine impaction in tertiary care dental hospital in Kathmandu was found to be 5.6%. Patients with impacted canines also had other dental anomalies. Knowing the prevalence of impacted canines, will encourage the community to be aware about canine impaction and educate the population about the clinical implications and the importance of performing preventive and interceptive procedures.
Dental Inclination and Thickness of The Alveolar Bone Around Incisors and Molars According to the Vertical Facial Type
Authors: Beugre-Kouassi Ahia Monique Lydie , Koffi Boimyo Eric , Beugre Jean-Bertin
Published: September 2020

Introduction: The teeth are incline differently according to the vertical skeletal typology and the corresponding alveolar bones do not always have the same thickness. However, the conflicting results in the literature, mainly related to the classification of patients according to vertical characteristics, creates a challenge for the clinician in determining the characteristic inclinations of teeth in a specific patient. The objective of this study was to find out dental inclination and thickness of the alveolar bone around incisors and molars in different facial type.

Materials & Method: The sample included 51 CBCT radiographs (28 females and 23 males) and subdivided into three subgroups according to vertical facial skeletal pattern (22 normodivergent subjects, 06 hypodivergent subjects and 23 hyperdivergent subjects). Reformatted CBCT images were used to measure the thickness of the vestibular and lingual alveolar bone around the incisors and first molars at two levels of root length (apical and middle) and their inclination. The Kruskal-Wallis test for the comparison of more than 2 means was applied for statistical analysis.

Result: Alveolar bone thickness in the apical region of the lingual side in hyperdivergent subjects was thicker than in the other two groups. The bone wall is thicker in the lingual than in the vestibular, regardless of the vertical skeletal typology. These varied inclinations were more pronounced anterior sector.

Conclusion: Dental inclinations have close relationships with the alveolar bone thicknesses associated with them. The apex of the root of the lower incisor is closer to the lingual alveolar crest when it was inclined in the lingual direction. There is a significant association between bone thickness around the teeth and facial skeletal divergence.

Lipoma is a benign mesenchymal neoplasm of adipocytes, most commonly presented in subcutaneous or dermal forms and its predominant occurrence is linked to the canine species. It is usually characterized by a single, well-circumscribed, subcutaneous, slow-growing mass that can be cured by surgical excision without the need for chemotherapy. And despite the low danger to the life of the animal, the welfare of the animal may be compromised due to its characteristic growth and ulcer formation, with associated pain. During treatment at the University Veterinary Hospital of the Federal University of Piauí, was treated an 8-year-old male dog, with no defined breed, presenting a pendular mass in the abdominal region, measuring approximately 30 cm in length, on palpation was possible, note a small ulcerated nodular areas next to the large mass. To confirm the diagnosis, cytology was performed from fine needle aspiration, which showed the presence of adipocyte clustering. Color Doppler ultrasonography showed no mass vascularization and radiographic exams showed no signs of metastasis. Surgical treatment with extirpation of the affected area was performed. Post-surgical treatment with Maxicam, Veterinary Pentabiotic, Tramadol Hydrochloride, daily local cleaning, Rifocin application and compressive bandage were instituted. The treatment was effective the animal had excellent recovery with no signs of recurrence.
Aspectos epidemiológicos, clínicos e patológicos da babesiose bovina
Authors: Quevedo Pedro
Published: September 2020

Bovine babesiosis is a disease with a febrile and hemolytic course, which together with anaplasmosis form the so-called bovine parasitic sadness complex (TPB). In Brazil, babesiosis is transmitted to cattle by the tick Ripicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, which occurs in practically the entire national territory. The economic impacts of babesiosis include the drop in animal performance, with reduced milk production, weight loss, abortion and mortality. Infection with the Babesia bovis and Babesia bigemina protozoa causes intravascular hemolysis with potentially fatal effects. In infections by B. bovis, a severe neurological condition can be observed due to congestion of the brain capillaries, with parasitized red blood cells. The consequent hypoxia in the central nervous system culminates in manifestations of motor incoordination, aggressiveness and pedaling movements. In addition to fever and prostration, babesiosis caused by B. bigemina has hemoglobinuria. Knowing aspects of epidemiology, clinical signs, therapeutic conduct and forms of control and prophylaxis related to bovine babesiosis is essential for field veterinarians. In view of the great importance of bovine babesiosis and its deleterious effects on livestock, this review addresses aspects about epidemiology, the biological cycle of protozoa, clinical signs, post-mortem injuries and subsidies for the diagnosis of the disease.
The “index of the copulatory apparatus” and its application to the systematics of freshwater pulmonates (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Pulmonata)
Authors: Vinarski M.V.
Published: September 2020

The index of the copulatory apparatus (ICA) is calculated as the ratio between lengths of the praeputium and the penis sheath in the copulatory apparatus in freshwater pulmonate mollusks. ICA is often used for species’ delimitation and identification in different taxa of pulmonates, however, its variation (in both intra- and interspecific levels) is still poorly studied that may make troubles for systematicists. The variation of ICA in pond snails (family Lymnaeidae Rafinesque, 1815) has been studied in several aspects (intra- and interpopulation, interspecific). It has been shown that the index varies considerably, and it is almost impossible to identify a single specimen on the base of ICA solely. However, mean ICA values are more useful for taxonomic and identification purposes. Closely related species of lymnaeids demonstrate some extent of overlap between their ranges of ICA variation that hampers their identification but is not a cause for synonymisation. The factors of different origin that potentially may influence the ICA values in freshwater pulmonates have been reviewed. It is revealed that ICA manifests significant ontogenic and (in some lymnaeid species) geographical changes. The use of ICA in pulmonate systematics should be accompanied by data on variation in another characters of conchological or anatomical kind.

OBJECTIVE

Lumbar fusion can lead to significant improvements in patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in patients with degenerative conditions. It is unknown whether the presence of hip or knee arthritis confounds the responses of patients to low-back–specific PROs. This study examined PROs with lumbar fusion in patients with concomitant lower-extremity arthritis. The purpose of the current study was to examine whether patients with significant lower-extremity arthritis who undergo lumbar fusion achieve similar improvements in low-back–specific PROs compared to patients without lower-extremity arthritis.

METHODS

Patients were identified from a prospectively enrolled multicenter registry of patients undergoing lumbar fusion surgery for degenerative conditions. Two hundred thirty patients identified with lumbar fusion and who also had concomitant lower-extremity arthritis were propensity matched to 233 patients who did not have lower-extremity arthritis based on age, BMI, sex, smoking status, American Society of Anesthesiologists grade, number of levels fused, and surgical approach. One-year improvement in PROs, numeric rating scales (0–10) for back and leg pain, and the Oswestry Disability Index and EuroQol-5D scores were compared for patients with and without lower-extremity arthritis.

RESULTS

Baseline demographics and preoperative outcome measures did not differ between the two propensity-matched groups with 110 cases each. Patients with concomitant lower-extremity arthritis achieved similar improvement in health-related quality-of-life measures to patients without lower-extremity arthritis, with no significant differences between the groups (p > 0.10).

CONCLUSIONS

The presence of lower-extremity arthritis does not adversely affect the results of lumbar fusion in properly selected patients. Patients with lower-extremity arthritis who undergo lumbar fusion can achieve meaningful improvement in PROs similar to patients without arthritis.

Waldschäden wegen Dürre von 1864 bis 2018 in der Schweiz und insbesondere im Kanton Zürich

Wie sind die Auswirkungen der Sommertrockenheit 2018 auf Wälder und Baumarten in der Schweiz im Vergleich mit ähnlichen Extremereignissen seit 1864 einzuordnen? Zur Beantwortung dieser Frage wurden Meldungen über Waldschäden als Folge von Störungen und über Kronenverlichtungen im Rahmen von Luftverunreinigungen mit der Variation des meteorologisch bestimmten Trockenheitsindexes SPEI für die Sommerhalbjahre im schweizerischen Mittelland verglichen. Als Datenquelle für Waldschäden diente die Bütikofer-Datenbank mit 4933 Nennungen aus der ganzen Schweiz für die Zeit von 1800 bis 1960 sowie Rechenschafts- und Umweltberichte des Kantons Zürich für die Periode von 1961 bis 2018. Die Vergleiche zeigen, dass die Sommertrockenheit 2018 zu den drei extremsten Dürreereignissen seit 1864 zählt und dass die Waldschäden 2018 und 2019 die Grössenordnung der Schäden während der Trockenperiode 1947 bis 1952 erreichen dürfte. Ein weiteres Resultat des Vergleichs ist auch die Feststellung, dass der Beginn der intensiven Beobachtung von Blatt-/Nadelverlusten im Jahr 1983 in eine niederschlagsarme Periode fiel, der eine einzigartige 13-jährige Phase von überdurchschnittlich feuchten Jahren vorausgegangen war. Unsere historische Analyse legt nahe, dass die Beurteilung von quantitativen Angaben zum Schadenausmass in den kontemporären Kontext von Waldnutzung, Waldbewirtschaftung, Wahrnehmung und Überlieferung zu stellen ist.

Akzeptanz von Massnahmen bei Trockenheit: Bevölkerungsbefragung zum Extremsommer 2018

Mit extremen Ereignissen wie der Trockenheit 2018 muss in Zukunft in der Schweiz häufiger gerechnet werden. Es ist daher von Interesse zu wissen, ob sich die Bevölkerung der Probleme, die aus vermehrter Trockenheit resultieren, bewusst ist und inwieweit sie bereit ist, reaktive und proaktive Massnahmen zum Umgang mit Trockenheit und Dürren zu akzeptieren. Im Frühjahr 2019 wurde zu diesem Zweck in drei Schweizer Gemeinden eine Bevölkerungsbefragung zum Extremsommer 2018 durchgeführt. Diese ergab, dass jener Sommer mehrheitlich als aussergewöhnlich heiss und trocken wahrgenommen wurde, er aber trotzdem als überwiegend positiv in Erinnerung blieb. Während das bewusste Erleben der extremen Trockenheit eine Rolle dafür spielte, dass die Trockenheit als zukünftige Herausforderung wahrgenommen wurde, wirkte es sich auf die Akzeptanz von Massnahmen kaum aus. Diesbezüglich entscheidender waren bestehende Überzeugungen und Werthaltungen. Der berichtete Einfluss des Sommers auf das Wassernutzungsverhalten der Befragten deutet hingegen auf eine Sensibilisierung für das neue Risiko hin. Diese dürfte sich bei einem wiederholten Auftreten von Trockenheit auch auf den Handlungswillen kritischer Bevölkerungsgruppen und auf deren Akzeptanz von Massnahmen auswirken. Aufgrund unserer Erkenntnisse empfehlen wir, mittels geeigneter Kommunikationsformen und -formate bestmöglich darauf hinzuwirken, dass die Auswirkungen der klimatischen Entwicklungen auf die lokale Umwelt im Alltagsgespräch ein Thema sind. Dadurch entsteht ein erhöhtes geteiltes Verständnis für den Umgang mit Trockenheit und eine breite Akzeptanz für längerfristige Lösungsansätze.
Implementasi Standar Sumber Daya Manusia dan Pelayanan Minimal Kesehatan di Kota Pekalongan

Hospital is a health service facility that must provide services according to applicable service standards. One of the front guards of a hospital is an Emergency Room (IGD) which will provide emergency assistance to every patient. Emergency is a condition that threatens life and disability, so it needs fast, precise, effective and quality action. This can be achieved if the hospital has a standard of service in the Emergency Room. This study aims to determine the implementation of HR standards and minimal services in hospital emergency departments. This research is a qualitative research with a sociological juridical approach. Sociological juridical is legal research that uses secondary data as initial data, which is then followed by primary data or field data. The juridical aspect in this research is the regulation of the minister of health regarding the standards of the Hospital Emergency Room and the sociological aspect is the implementation of the rules in the ministerial decree by the hospital. Sources of legal materials for this research include primary and secondary legal materials. Data collection techniques used are through interviews and literature. The results showed that the Standard Emergency Room is regulated in Law No. 44 of 2009 concerning the Hospital. In particular, the IGD standard has been regulated in the Republic of Indonesia's Minister of Health Kepmenkes No.856 / Menkes / SK / IX / 2009 regarding the standard of Hospital Emergency Room Installation. But in reality in the field, the hospital has not fully implemented these regulations, so the quality of service in the ER is less. Thus the patient's right to get quality services is neglected. According to the Hospital Law Article 29 Paragraph 1 point (a) that "Hospitals are obliged to provide safe, quality, anti-discrimination, and effective health services by prioritizing the interests of patients in accordance with Hospital service standards". The supporting factors for implementation are high human resource motivation and the inhibiting factors, namely the opportunity and cost of further study for nurses, do not yet exist.
