Pemodelan Direct Quadrate (D-Q) Pada Kendali Kecepatan Motor Induksi Tiga Phasa dengan Field Oriented Control (FOC) Berbasis Kendali P-I
Authors: Fauzi Rizana , Khair Jumaddil
Published: March 2019

The utilization of a 3 phase induction motor is increasingly developing, so research on speed regulation in 3 phase induction motors is also increasingly widely studied. This is because the use of 3 phase induction motors in the industry and especially hybrid vehicles are increasingly being developed. But there are some disadvantages of induction motors, one of which is the characteristics of non-linear parameters, especially rotor resistance which has varying values for different operating conditions, so it cannot maintain its speed constantly if there is a change in load. This, of course, can affect the performance of an induction motor. To get a constant speed and better system performance on load changes a controller is needed. This study aims to model direct-quadrate parameters (D-Q) using the Field Oriented Control (FOC) method based on the Proportional-Integral (PI) controller. With the d-q parameter controlled, the induction motor will be more stable, because the d-q parameter determines the stability of the change in torque and flux in the induction motor. Proportional-Integral (PI) control used is a classic control system that is easy because it does not need to look for a mathematical model of the system, but it remains effective because it has a fairly stable system response, by setting the best combination of proportional (Kp) constants and Integrator constants ( Ki). In the results of the implementation, it can be seen that the use of FOC can be used as an approach in terms of setting the speed of the induction motor, and with the use of the PI control can help the output response get better with a shorter response time to reach the reference value.
The Moderating Role of Internal Control in Tax Avoidance: Evidence from a COSO-Based Internal Control Index in China
Authors: Chen Hanwen , Yang Daoguang , Zhang Xinmin , Zhou Nan
Published: March 2019

We study the role of internal control in tax avoidance by evaluating the efficacy of the COSO framework in tax risk management. First, we use a comprehensive COSO-based index in China that covers a firm's internal control over not only financial reporting, but also operations and compliance. Second, we perform quantile regressions to account for the entire tax avoidance distribution. These two key features enable us to find a nonlinear relation between internal control and tax avoidance, with the former having a moderating effect on the latter. Specifically, we show that internal control quality enhances tax avoidance for under-sheltered firms but curbs tax avoidance for over-sheltered firms. This nonlinear pattern continues to hold when we decompose internal control into its five COSO components. Moreover, the moderating role of internal control in tax avoidance alleviates tax volatility, supporting the accounting firms' recommendation to use COSO-based internal control in tax risk management.

Domestic Factors That Affect The Price of Styrene Butadiene Latex in Indonesia
Authors: Nugroho Rosalendro Eddy
Published: March 2019

This paper investigates or examines the causal links between price of styrene butadiene latex (SBL) and other domestic variables such as supply, demand, Herfindahl Hirschman Index (HHI), price of styrene, and price of butadiene during the period of 1995–2017 on the monthly basis.. Results from Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) or unit root test showed that the stationary state of the whole variables is of first difference (I). The Granger pairwise causality test revealed a bidirectional causality of SBL with BTD(Butadiene), SBL with STY(Styrene), SUPP(Supply) with DMD(Demand), DMD with STY, DMD with BTD and STY with SUPP and vice versa. Johansen test found out a co-integration of SBL prices. However, this study proved no significant links between the price of SBL and supply of SBL (SUPP) in the long and short run. This paper highlights the fact that SBL price has a significant direct impact in the long run on the styrene (STY) and butadiene (BTD) prices, as well as HHI. Similarly, these aspects also have a significant direct impact proved by the positive coefficient in the long run on the SBL pricing. The findings further showed that the price of SBL has a connection and significant direct impact on the negative arrow for the short and long run equilibrium, in line with the price and demands for SB Latex, pressing and oil classification.
Reforming Spending Policy and Its Impact on Indonesia’s Economy: The Case of Fuel Subsidy and Infrastructure
Authors: Anas Muhammad
Published: March 2019

The quality of Indonesia’s infrastructure up until 2014 was considered uncompetitive, and one of the reasons was that there was not enough money spent on infrastructure, and too much on fuel subsidy. In November 2014, the government of Indonesia decided to cut the expenditure for fuel subsidy and reallocate the money to invest on public services. This study was conducted with the intention to quantify the impact of the program on economic growth and income distribution in Indonesia using Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) model. Simulation results indicated that the impact from social and human capital infrastructure was bigger than that of economic infrastructure, although the simulation for both categories resulted in an increase of sectoral output and domestic income. Therefore, improving infrastructure, especially social, is vital to stimulate economic activity in the long run.

Published: March 2019

Changes in the form of communication that occurs can not be separated from the development of communication and information technology. Lots of people who use communication technology as a primary way to convey a message, consequently the message conveyed more rich meaning because the message is delivered in the form of symbols. Cyber society as a virtual society depends on the symbols in conveying the message. Symbolic interactions are used by the cyber community to convey messages. Not infrequently we find that the meaning of the symbols conveyed is interpreted differently, resulting in mutlipersepsi. This paper examines how the communication culture of cyber societies, what kind of communication patterns are used to convey messages, and how to give meaning to the symbols communicated. In addition, the author also examines the process of symbolic inteaction that takes place in cyber society. As is known that the symbolic interaction can not be separated from the communication process that occurs in cyber society.

PENGEMBANGAN MODEL KONSELING KELUARGA DAN PELATIHAN BAGI KELUARGA SAKINAH DENGAN METODE PENDEKATAN SISTEM DI KABUPATEN ROKAN HULU PROVINSI RIAU
Authors: Yurnalis Yurnalis
Published: March 2019

Kegatan ini bermula dari kehidupan masyarakat khususnya keluarga, tidak akan pernah lepas dari sistem nilai yang ada di masyarakat tertentu. Sistem nilai menentukan perilaku anggota masyarakat. Berbagai sistem nilai ada di masyarakat yaitu: a) nilai agama saat ini degradasi terhadap agama sangat terasas sekali, semua agama merasakan bahwa kebanyakan umatnya kurang setia pada agama yang dianutnya. b) degradasi nilai adat istiadat, yang sering disebut tata susila atau kesopanan, hal ini dapat dibuktikan pada perilaku anak-anak, remaja saat ini. c) degradasi nilai-nilai sosial, sebagaimana kita saksikan saat ini, masyrakat sangat individualis mementingkan diri sendiri dalam segala hal, enggan berbagi harta, pikiran ,saran dan pendapat, tidak mau bergaul terutama dengan orang rendahan, memutusan tali silaturrahmi terutama dengan keluarga. d) degradasi kesakralan keluarga, seperti yang kita lihat saat ini banyak sekali kekisruhan keluarga, banyak sekali kasus suami membunuh istrinya, dan sebaliknya, ayah membunuh anaknya dan sebaliknya. Namun tak dapat dipungkiri, bahwa keluarga modern mempunyai ciri utama kemajuan dan perkembangan di bidang pendidikan, ekonomi dan pergaulan. Kebanyakan keluarga modern berada di perkotaan, mungkin juga ada keluarga modern tinggal di pedesaan, akan tetapi jarang berinteraksi dengan masyrakat pedesaan. Kelengkapan alat transportasi dan komunikasi memungkinkan mereka cepat berinteraksi di kota yaitu dengan keluarga lainnya. Namun dibalik semua itu, terdapat krisis keluarga, artinya kehidupan keluarga dalam keadaan kacau, tak teratur dan terarah, orang tua kehilangan kewibawaan untuk mengendalikan kehidupan anak-anaknya terutama remaja. Berikut ini adalah faktor-faktor penyebab terjadinya krisis keluarga yaitu: kurang atau putus komunikasi diantara anggota keluarga terutama ayah dan ibu, sikap egosentrisme, masalah ekonomi, masalah kesibukan, masalah pendidikan, masalah perselingkuhan, jauh dari agama. Dari kegiatan ini diharapkan rumusan formula Model Konseling keluarga dengan pendekatan sistem untuk pengembangan pemahaman masyarakat serta terbentuknya keluarga sakinah. Metode kegiatan yang digunakan berupa kegiatan partisipatoris melalui diagnosa kelompok untuk menghasilkan formula pendampingan, pelatihan yang diperlukan.

Authors: Sukartik Dewi , Nurdin Nurdin
Published: March 2019

Kebakaran hutan dan lahan (Karhutla) merupakan masalah serius di Provinsi Riau. Kejadian karhutla yang diikuti kabut asap berdampak buruk bagi pertumbuhan ekonomi Indonesia. Kondisi yang terus berulang tersebut hingga kini belum memiliki strategi penyelesaian yang efektif. Pemerintah Pusat maupun Pemerintah Daerah selama ini baru melakukan tindakan reaktif setelah terjadi bencana. Upaya pencegahan baru dilakukan dalam beberapa tahun terakhir melalui pemberdayaan kelompok Masyarakat Peduli Api di kawasan rawan karhutla. Salah satunya melalui pembentukan Desa Bebas Api (Free Fire Village) oleh perusahaan swasta yang beroperasi di daerah rawan karhutla. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan Desa Segati, Kecamatan Langgam, Kabupaten Pelalawan. Alasan pemilihan lokasi, desa tersebut merupakan salah satu desa yang berdekatan dengan Taman Nasional Tesso Nilo (TNTN),  dan  menjadi salah satu desa sasaran program. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk: (1) Mengetahui perilaku komunikasi masyarakat; (2) Mengetahui penggunaan media massa masyarakat; (3) Mengetahui pemahaman pesan keislaman masyarakat tentang masalah lingkungan; (4) Mengetahui pemberdayaan masyarakat; (5) Mengetahui tindakan pencegahan karhutla masyarakat; dan (6) Menganalisis hubungan perilaku komunikasi, penggunaan media massa, pemahaman pesan keislaman dan pemberdayaan masyarakat dengan tindakan pencegahan karhutla. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: (1) Masyarakat yang memahami dengan baik terkait kebakaran hutan dan lahan dan memiliki kesadaran untuk melakukan pencegahan; (2) Sebagian besar masyarakat kadang-kadang menjadikan media massa sebagai sumber informasi Karhutla; (3) Pemahaman pesan keislaman masyarakat tentang masalah lingkungan sudah wujud akan tetapi belum optimal, akan tetapi memberikan pengaruh yang kuat terhadap tindakan pencegahan karhutla; (4) Kegiatan pemberdayaan masyarakat sudah dilakukan oleh perusahaan dan pemerintah tetapi kegiatan belum berjalan secara optimal dan efektif untuk mensejahterakan masyarakat; (5) Tindakan pencegahan kerhutla sudah wujud di kalangan masyarakat; dan (6) Perilaku komunikasi masyarakat mempunyai keterkaitan dengan penggunaan media massa masyarakat, pemahaman pesan keislaman masyarakat dan pemberdayaan masyarakat yang dilakukan oleh pihak pemerintah dan swasta. Pesan keislaman terkait lingkungan adalah berpengaruh kuat terhadap tindakan pencegahan karhutla. Semakin banyak kegiatan penanaman pesan keislaman kepada masyarakat maka masyarakat akan semakin baik dalam hal tindakan pencegahan karhutla.

Geotechnical synthesis of 2D_Electrical resistivity tomography of geomaterial_laboratory model study
Authors: Mohamed Zainab , Mohamad Noh Nurbaiyah
Published: March 2019

In this paper, a laboratory scale model study was conducted on interbeded geomaterial using electrical resistivity instrument. The electrical resistivity value of individual material was determined and modeled as mass scale. The tank was filled with composite geomaterial constituted of interbedding of cement mortar as hard layer and residual sedimentary soil. Forty-one copper electrodes of 15 cm long were used and installed at 4 cm spacing in the tank. The composite geomaterials were labeled as Model 1, Model 2 and Model 3, where they were referred respectively to interbedding of hard layer and layers of residual soil at natural dry state and wet state. The electrical resistivity terrameter was used to obtain the georesistivity pseudo-section by adopting Werner protocol. The georesistivity pseudo-sections were derived from 3 models simulated the subsurface of rock mass in humid tropic environment. The objective was to synthesize the composite georesistivity pseudo-section based on geo-engineering principle. It was observed that the pseudo-section of the composite geomaterial was represented by range of colors with range of georesistivity values. The horizontal bands of color differentiated the georesistivity of models vertically but constant in horizontal direction. The georesistivity value at material scale was comparable to the range of georesistivity values derived from the 2D electrical resistivity pseudo-sections. The contrasts in the conductivity of clay fraction, silica and electrolytes have differentiated the electrical resistivity pseudo-section of sandy soil mass and cement mortar hard material.

Authors: Raja Yahya Mohd Fakharul Zaman , Mohd Sidek Hasidah
Published: March 2019

Malaria parasites, Plasmodium can infect a wide range ofhosts including humans and rodents. There are two copies ofmitogen activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in Plasmodium, namely MAPK1 and MAPK2. The MAPKs have been studied extensively in the human Plasmodium, P. falciparum. However, the MAPKs from other Plasmodium species have not been characterized and it is therefore the premise ofpresented study to characterize the MAPKs from other Plasmodium species-P. vivax, P. knowlesi, P. berghei, P. chabaudi and P.yoelli using a series ofpublicly available bioinformatic tools. In silico data indicates that all Plasmodium MAPKs are nuclear-localizedandcontain both a nuclear localization signal (NLS) anda Leucine-rich nuclear export signal (NES). The activation motifs ofTDYand TSH werefound to befully conserved in Plasmodium MAPK1 and MAPK2, respectively. The detailed manual inspection ofa multiple sequence alignment (MSA) construct revealed a total of 17 amino acid stack patterns comprising ofdifferent amino acids present in MAPK1 and MAPK2 respectively, with respect to rodent and human Plasmodia. 1t is proposed that these amino acid stack patterns may be useful in explaining the disparity between rodent and human Plasmodium MAPKs.

Cost-Minimization Analysis of Non-Invasive and Invasive Mechanical Ventilation for De Novo Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure in an Eastern European Setting
Authors: Ilieva V. , Mihalova T. , Yamakova Yo. , Petkov R. , Velev B.
Published: March 2019

Introduction: In the light of constant pressure for minimizing healthcare costs we made a cost-minimization analysis comparing invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) and non-invasive ventilation (NIV) as treatment for hypoxemic acute respiratory failure (ARF).

Aim: The primary objective was to estimate the direct medical costs generated by a patient on IMV and NIV. A secondary objective was to identify which aspect of the treatment was most expensive.

Material and Methods: This is a single center retrospective study including 36 patients on mechanical ventilation due to hypoxemic ARF, separated in two groups – NIV (n = 18) and IMV (n = 18). We calculated all direct medical costs in Euro and compared them statistically.

Results: On admission the PaO2/FiO2 and SAPS II score were comparable in both groups. We observed a significant difference in the costs per patient for drug treatment (NIV: 616.07; IQR: 236.68, IMV:1456.18; IQR:1741.95, p = 0.005), consumables (NIV: 16.47; IQR: 21.44, IMV: 98.79; IQR: 81.52, p < 0.001) and diagnostic tests (NIV: 351; IQR: 183.88, IMV: 765.69; IQR: 851.43, p < 0.001). We also computed the costs per patient per day and there was a significant difference in the costs in all above listed categories. In both groups the highest costs were for drug treatment – around 61%.

Conclusions: In the setting of hypoxemic ARF NIV reduces significantly the direct medical costs of treatment in comparison to IMV. The decreased costs in NIV are not associated with severity of disease according to the respiratory quotient and SAPS II score.

Published: March 2019

Dehydration and electrolyte imbalance as a result of prolonged strenuous exercise leads to poor thermoregulation and impaired muscle performance. Thus, appropriate rehydration during and after exercise with a solution that has a balanced combination of nutrients including electrolytes, carbohydrates and proteins is crucial in preventing the side effects of dehydration. Yogurt drink as a traditional drink with an appropriate nutritious content could be used as an alternative to expensive commercially available drinks for rehydrating athletes after long exercises in warm and humid environments and in developing countries. In this cross-over trial we examined the rehydration potential of yogurt drink in comparison to water and a commercial drink after a strenuous exercise (cycling) session in a hot and humid environment. Blood measurements included blood osmolality, serum glucose, hematocrit and serum electrolytes. Urine measurements included urine volume, osmolality and electrolyte concentrations. The results showed that early after rehydration Yogurt drink compared to water significantly increased urine sodium (mmol/L) (138.8 ± 93.4 vs. 90.0 ± 50.7, P < 0.01), urine potassium (mmol/L) (105.6 ± 55.1 vs. 35.8 ± 22.0, P < 0.05) and urine chloride (mmol/L) (113.2 ± 28.4 vs. 35.8 ± 25.1 P < 0.01). This degree of improvement was the same as with the commercial drink for urine sodium, potassium, and chloride. Yogurt drink prevented dehydration-induced changes in the blood as it stabilized the hematocrit and serum sodium, potassium and osmolality within the normal range after exercise. Finally, our results indicated that yogurt drink, as a natural and affordable rehydration option, can be considered to restore fluid and electrolyte losses after strenuous exercises in hot and humid environments.
’...and Miraculously Post-Modern Became Ost-Modern’: How On or About 1910 and 1924 Karel Čapek Helped to Add and Strike off the ‘P’
Authors: Sriratana Verita
Published: March 2019

Virginia Woolf and Karel Čapek produced direct responses to the British Empire Exhibition in the forms of – in Woolf’s case – a scathing essay entitled ‘Thunder at Wembley’ and – in Čapek’s case – a (P)OstModernist travelogue later published as part of ‘Letters from England’ translated into English in 1925 and banned by the Nazis as well as the Communists. This research paper juxtaposes modernity in Central Europe with its ‘Other’ – that in Western Europe – by exploring Woolf and Čapek’s durée réelle between 1910 and 1924. It offers an analysis of Karel Čapek’s (P)OstModern legacies, placing Prague right on the modernist centre stage. The socio-political contribution of Central European regional modernism in Čapek’s work is increasingly vital to the contemporary Europe of Brexit and refugee and migrant crises, and beyond.
Corporate Social Responsibility of Business in the Natural and Urban Areas of the Lublin Province
Authors: Mazurek-Kusiak Anna
Published: March 2019

Subject and purpose of work: The purpose of the study was to compare the behavior of companies located in the areas of nature value and in their proximity with companies located in urbanized areas in the Lublin Region in terms of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

Materials and methods: The study was conducted by means of the diagnostic survey method, using direct interviews.

Results and conclusions: Companies located in valuable natural or close to natural areas tend to undertake ecological and environmental investments (27.68%), care for the common good (54.46%), and treat employees well (54.46%) as compared with the companies located in urban areas (10.72%, 25.89% and 25.89%, respectively). Sensitivity to nature is primarily the result of the company’s direct contact with nature, the recognition of the importance of protecting it, as well as of good treatment of employees, that is it results mainly from the combination of business and personal relationships with employees. Firms located in urban areas are much more likely to support charitable donations (22.33%), which is a result of higher returns by these companies and more frequent requests for financial assistance. Further research in this regard should concern factors that make the entrepreneurs more willing to implement CSRs in their companies.
Discovering Eden: Rain, Cats and Women in Hemingway’s Garden
Authors: Hussein Ghufran Abd
Published: March 2019

The publication of The Garden of Eden in 1986 opened the gates of Hemingway’s exegesis to gender criticism, the result being a re-evaluation of the female presence in a traditional literary work devoted to the literary traditions of the personality and adventurous life of the writer that challenged the previous four decades of critical appraisal that insisted on what Broer and Holland called “superficial or misguided interpretations of Hemingway’s treatment of women and gender”. Our essay demonstrates this new approach to Hemingway’s work, with examples from “Cat in the Rain” and The Garden of Eden.

The paper analyses the intonation of syllables in broadcasted communication utterances (analyzing audio samples from radio programs Rádiožurnál and Literárna revue Rádia Slovensko) from theoretical point of view, while building upon the outcomes of the experimental phonetic research. Duration of the individual segments, intensity of sonantic cores including intensity of syllables and basic frequency F0 were analysed. Role of the analysed parameters in relation to the sonic formation of the text can be seen in exact graphs, which are cross-referenced by the measured values. The analysis has shown that an intonation differentiation of text-forming features in the broadcasted communication utterances is significantly influenced by tonal modulation (melody). Variation potential of time modulation is limited by faster pace of broadcasted texts. The strength modulation is demonstrably limited by signal standardization in radio broadcasting.
K Odbornej Terminológii V Slovenskej Rómčine

The aim of this study is to identify possible methods of formation of Romani technical terms by means of an analysis of a Slovak­Romani dictionary of administrative and legal terms. If the existing word stock of Romani is felt to be insufficient, missing words are added by borrowing from Slovak. The borrowings serve as one­word or multi­word terms (štatutaris – ‘štatutár’/’statutory person’; bežno učtos – ‘bežný účet’/’current account’); however, more often they serve as components of multi­word, most frequently two­word terms which take the form of semi­calques. Romani components of the semi­calques are either words used in their common dictionary meaning or neologisms. The analysed terminology is characterized by a high rate of homonymy of adjectival forms in the function of the determining component in multi­word naming units. The characteristic feature of the analysed Romani terminology is instability, which manifests itself especially in the use of various terms to denote the same content, either Romani terms or variant forms of terms (iribnaskeri forma – ‘písomná formaʼ/’written formʼ, irinďi informácia – ‘písomná informáciaʼ/’written informationʼ).
Właściwości Derywacyjne Pożyczek Czasownikowych W XVI Wieku

The 16th century is the period of intensified processes of assimilation of foreign forms. This period provides insight into the situation of new borrowings which began to appear in the Polish language for the first time in such an extent. A considerable number of borrowed lexemes fosters the establishment of word­formative links between those lexemes in the Polish context. In this manner, the particular derivation­related nests of foreign origin were developed. In her article, the author emphasizes above all the role of verbal Latin and Greek borrowings in the organisation of the abovementioned nests, inquiring about the extent to which borrowings disrupt the existing word formation system, and about the extent to which these borrowings blend with the word formative “system”. As derivation­related bases, verbs are associated with two types of formations: with nominal and with verbal derivatives. The word­formative relations which emerged in the Polish language between a borrowed verb and a noun (which is in many cases borrowed as well) are well­documented already in the period in question (annotacyja – annotować). However, in this period, motivation­based relations between verbal borrowings were not developed, and thus foreign verbal formants did not separate out. The adaptation of these elements in the Polish language, as demonstrated by the further development in the diachronic perspective, is considerably impeded.
Nowe Derywaty Jako Wymierne Skutki Zróżnicowanych Oddziaływań Zapożyczeń Leksykalnych Na Słowotwórstwo Polszczyzny XXI W.

The article attempts to provide an answer to the questions concerning dimensions and aspects of morphological phenomena which result from the internationalization of the Polish lexicon both at the turn of the 20th and 21th centuries and in recent years. The main objective of the paper is to prove that (i) under the influence of new borrowings, new meanings are created in the newly “transplanted” forms; (ii) new composite expressions become more dominant; (iii) the scope of new hybrid lexical items broadens. A current tendency to undergo internationalization is viewed here as being inextricably bound up with “linguistic globalization” processes, which finds its confirmation in modern European languages, Slavic languages included.
Tvorbeni Potencial Glagolskih Novotvorjenk Na -Ing + -Irati V Slovenščini
Authors: Breznik Irena Stramljič
Published: March 2019

The paper focuses on new verbal formations in Slovene coined from borrowed nouns ending in -ing with the Slovenian morpheme -irati (e.g. šoping-irati) on the basis of analogous phonological and semantic structures in the language, and examines their spread in the sphere of informal language use. The word­formational potential of such verbs is further examined with the basic categories of cognitive grammar, such as morphemic transparency, schematicity of the word­formational pattern and the established status of the phonemic sequence *ingira* in the previously existing lexical units of the Slovene language.

Aim. The study was to assess the level of stress and the health locus of control in parents of hospitalized newborns.

Material and methods. The study covered a group of 150 parents of 126 newborns who were hospitalized in the Neonatal Pathology Ward at the University Children’s Hospital in Lublin. The diagnostic survey method was applied with the use of an original questionnaire as well as some standardized tools: Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) and Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale (MHLC – version B).

Results. In more than a half of the subjects (54.0%), a high level of stress was observed. Every fourth (26.1%) parent was characterized by an average level of stress and nearly every fifth (19.3%) by a low level of stress. The highest indicator was characterized by the domain of the internal health control locus. Every fifth parent represented an undifferentiated type - weak or magnifying the impact of others (22.0% and 20.0% respectively). The smallest group of parents (5.3%) belonged to the externally-oriented, strong type. Conclusions. The parents of hospitalized newborns are characterized mainly by high and average levels of stress and low level of severity of health control location within each of its domains. The highest indicator of internal locus control and the influence of others are characterized by parents with low and average levels of stress. The dominant type of locus of health control that characterizes parents is the undifferentiated type – weak and magnifying the impact of others.

Introduction. Professional aspirations appear to be the key factor, which motivates individual to take actions as well as to further self-development. According to medical professions, professional aspirations seem to be crucial because they motivate nurses and midwives to continuing education – what is believed to be the fundament of vocational professionalism.

Aim. The aim of the research was to show the professional aspirations of the graduates of bachelor degree in nursing and midwifery.

Material and methods. The research was conducted with the diagnostic survey based on the questionnaire composed by the authors, within a period from April to June 2017. The research consisted of 158 graduates of bachelor studies.

Results. The majority (89.2%) of the graduates of bachelor studies in nursing and midwifery is planning to improve their professional qualifications. Their main motives are: the desire for being a professional (69.6%), the desire for professional development (52.5%) and the desire for financial situation improvement (47.5%). The MSc studies are most frequently chosen as a way for professional qualifications improvement.

Conclusions. The graduates of the Faculty of Health Sciences express the desire for further professional development. The aspirations, which the examined graduates of bachelor studies in nursing and midwifery are led by, may have a positive impact on their carriers through the strengthening the appropriate moral attitudes, professional development and the sense of professional autonomy.
Clinical manifestations of neurofibromatosis type 1 – a diagnostic and management challenge
Authors: Dąbrowska Anna Maria , Zwolak Agnieszka
Published: March 2019

Introduction. Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), caused by mutation of the tumour-suppressor gene encoding neurofibromin, is an autosomal dominant disorder affecting various organs.

Aim. The aim of the study was to discuss the clinical symptoms of NF1 based on seven cases of the disease with regard to the literature.

Material and methods. We analyzed retrospectively patients with NF1 (4 females and 3 males) aged 19-52 who were treated at Endocrinology Department between 2003 and 2017. The diagnosis was made in childhood (4 patients) or in adolescence (3 cases), based on clinical symptoms and genetic tests.

Results. Five patients had a positive family history of NF1, two cases represented spontaneous mutation. All of analyzed subjects presented café-au-lait spots and neurofibromas on the body. We observed neurological disorders such as: epilepsy (2 patients), Arnold-Chiari malformation (1 man), benign brain neoplasms (2 persons). Optic gliomas appeared in two cases. Tumours were also found in other organs, including the uterus (2 women), the lung, the adrenals, the pituitary and the parathyroid gland (with signs of primary hyperparathyroidism) – each tumour in another patient. Four subjects suffered from cognitive impairment. Skeletal manifestations of neurofibromatosis type 1 such as scoliosis (1 man) and short stature (6 patients) have been noted as well. Five patients presented thyroid disorders – hypothyroidism due to Hashimoto’s disease (4 patients), toxic nodular goiter (1 woman). Other clinical symptoms e.g. vitiligo, alopecia areata and coarctation of aorta have also been found.

Conclusions. Variety of clinical symptoms causes that NF1 still remains a diagnostic and management challenge for many physicians. Therefore, multidisciplinary approach is needed to optimize patients’ treatment.
Significance of motivational interviewing in public health

Motivational interviewing (MI) is a specific style of communication based on collaboration, aimed at achieving a goal and focused on change talk. This is conducted in an atmosphere of comprehension, acceptance and compassion, being intended to strengthen inner motivation and commitment to attain goals by the search for, and assessment of, the individual’s reasons for change. Change talk may refer to new behaviours, lifestyles or the introduction of treatment adherence. Therefore, it can be a part of health care provider – patient communication. The application of MI contributes to an increase in patients’ concordance and compliance as well as rightness of the therapy prescribed because it heightens an individual’s awareness and eagerness to change and triggers positive thinking, being focused on resources and values. The aim of this article is to familiarise the MI character and present some interesting examples characterised by a diversity of ideas in the overall vision of public health concentrated on health promotion. A non-systematic literature review of the years 2003-2018 on the use of MI in health promotion in PubMed provided evidence of great interest in MI in such contexts as body weight reduction, an increase in physical activity, or coping with risk behaviours e.g. addictions. The aforementioned problems are a major cause of non-communicable diseases. The application of MI results in health behaviour improvement along with increased self-esteem and self-efficacy, inner motivation and willingness to change habits.
