Background: Although PICC plays a crucial role in preterm neonates, it may cause several complications. A pilot study was conducted to propose a useful equation in identifying the safe length of catheter during the first attempt of catheterization. Methods: A pilot study was carried out and NICU admitted preterm neonates requiring PICC insertion entered the study. PICC was inserted for neonates by an expert NICU nurse. After catheterization, a chest X-ray examination with contrast was done to determine the location of canola. All neonates' demographic data were extracted from medical records. Age of neonate at catheterization, the duration of catheterization period as well as data regarding the first and final sizes of the inserted PICC were also recorded. Finally, the associations between the lengths of catheters with neonates' demographic factors were assessed to propose an equation estimating the optimal length of inserted PICC. Results: One hundred preterm neonates requiring PICC entered the study. The results have shown significant associations between the first length of inserted catheter in the hand with head circumference (p=0.019; r=0.293) as well as the final length of inserted catheter in the hand with birth weight (p=0.015; r=0.304). There was a linear correlation between the length of inserted catheter in the hand with neonate's birth weight (p=0.029); however, based on the value of R2=0.167, this relationship was weak. According to these findings an equation was proposed as follows; Inserted length in hand (cm) = 17.98 + 0.618body weight (gr). Conclusion: Our results showed a positive correlation between the inserted lengths of PICC in the hand with neonate's body weight. Our findings proposed an equation; however, the regression coefficient was not significantly notable.

Published: July 2021

COVID 19 is currently one of the most impacting factors in world society, both because of the ineffectiveness of pharmacological measures and because of socioeconomic inequality. Diabetes is one of the comorbidities that makes the body more vulnerable to the development of severe COVID-19. Diabetes does not increase the patient's risk of becoming infected with the new coronavirus, but it does increase the chances of complications from the infection. This study uses a descriptive and observational methodology of the assertive evolution of the COVID-19 case report. It is a descriptive, exploratory, non-invasive method, with mediated intervention, in a 42-year-old male patient, type 2 diabetic, undergoing pharmacological monitoring and in treatment of lichenoid pityriasis with 500mg tetracycline hydrochloride, on alternate days. During treatment for pityriasis lichenoid, the patient contracted the coronavirus, changing the antibiotic for daily use, resulting in the remission of symptoms after 3 days of medication. This new scenario opens the possibility for clinical and scientific research through randomized studies of the antibiotic tetracycline hydrochloride 500 mg, to investigate its action on the viral replication of the new coronavirus.

Published: July 2021

Purpose: There are not many questionnaires that have proven validity and reliability in evaluating the level of physical activity in older patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In clinical and scientific studies, it is important to quickly determine the physical activity level of patients in terms of time management. The aim of the study was to examine the validity of the rapid assessment of physical activity (RAPA) questionnaire in older patients with COPD.

Methods: A total of 105 older patients with COPD surveyed the short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-SF) and after 2 weeks RAPA questionnaire as well. The IPAQ-SF was accepted as the gold standard for physical activity assessment in COPD. Furthermore, patients were assessed for a 6-min walking test (6MWT) and perceived dyspnea (with modified medical research dyspnea scale (mMRC)). Correlation coefficients (r) was used for the relationship between RAPA and IPAQ-SF.

Results: There were significant positive correlations between RAPA and IPAQ-SF total score (r = 0.968, p< 0.001), 6MWT (r = 0.626, p< 0.001), in addition to significant negative correlation between the RAPA and mMRC scores (r = -0.454, p< 0.001). The RAPA showed good sensitivity (87.5%) and a specificity (100%) value. Positive and negative predictive values of the RAPA were 100% and 96.4% respectively.

Conclusion: This study showed the RAPA was an easy-to-use, valid, and reliable questionnaire to measure physical activity levels in older patients with COPD.

Social object: museum object in the participatory museum
Authors:   Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education «Saint-Petersburg State University», Smirnov Aleksey V.
Published: July 2021

The «new museology» movement, which seeks to revise the principles and foundations of the activities of modern museums, has introduced a few new concepts into consideration, one of which is the concept of «social object». «New Museology» interprets a social object as the basis for constructing an exposition of a participatory museum, which makes it possible to consider a social object as an analogue of a museum item. Since the concept of a «museum item» is one of the key theoretical tools of modern museology, its content can be expanded within the framework of the scientific understanding of a participatory museum. Directions of such a theoretical study are presented in this article. The analysis of the transformation of a museum object into a social object during the transition from the traditional principle of building a museum exposition to a participatory one made it possible to identify several problems in the activities of a participatory museum related to the communication potential of its exhibits. The understanding of a social object is formed based on an analysis of examples of exposition and exhibition activities presented in the book by N. Simon «The Participatory Museum».

Authors: Podolskaya Ksenya Sergeevna
Published: July 2021

The purpose of the research is to determine particular aspects of using a systemic and structural analysis in works of public and land art. The second half of the XX - early XXI century saw change in approaches to artistic works creation. Modern art practice gravitates not towards art types division but to their synthesis, with ever increasing frequency, artists are not only combining classical artistic devices taken from different types of art in one work, but also inventing their own artistic techniques, expanding author’s expressive means capabilities. Moreover, the artist’s and the viewer’s focuses shift from material essence of an object to the situation that this object can, in some way or another, generate through special connection with space and the viewer. This leads to emergence of objects to which it is impossible to apply classical morphology of art, hampers their analysis. Works of public and land art are among the most common modern art forms that exhibit this trend. The researcher believes that the most effective method of analysing such works is the systemic and structural one. Scientific novelty of the article lies in examining particular aspects of applying a systemic and structural analysis to works of public and land art. As a result, it is proved that this method use in an analysis of artistic works that can be characterised as objects of public and land art contributes to a deeper study of modern artistic forms, to identifying features of such objects.

The working group of the research consists of 150 students studying in the 6th grade at Atatürk Secondary School and Gazi Mustafa Kemal Secondary school located in the center of Çay district, Afyonkarahisar in the 2019-2020 academic year. The "Law and Justice Word Association Test" prepared by the researcher was used as the data collection tool. Descriptive analysis, one of the qualitative data analysis methods, was used in the analysis of the data, and frequency tables were created to determine students' perceptions about each concept and to reveal the relationships between concepts. Concept networks have been prepared using frequency tables. The data were analyzed and interpreted according to the relationships that emerged in the concept networks. Within the framework of the results obtained from the research, the perceptions of the students towards the concepts of law and justice are close to each other. It has been revealed that the students have enough conceptual knowledge to raise awareness about the concepts of law and justice. With the help of word association tests, it is seen that students can have an idea about their concept perception.
Impact of scheduling algorithms on the performance of telemedicine traffic in cellular networks

Efficient transmission of medical information is an emerging area of telecommunication engineering because it conveys critical data about a patient’s state and vital measurements. Consequently, it is required that such transmissions be accelerated and errorless. This requirement is beyond the norm of only scheduling users at a Base Station but calls for the provisioning of guaranteed bandwidth for transmission of these critical medical data. To achieve this, there is a need to develop a scheduling scheme that will prioritize all forms of Telemedicine traffic over regular traffic at the Base Station. But there is also the need to measure, evaluate and quantify the impact of the developed scheduling scheme on telemedicine traffic transmission in cellular networks in terms of the throughputs attained. To address these problems, priority and non-priority based scheduling algorithms for telemedicine traffic transmission were developed and simulated using MATLAB 8.1.0 software and the impact of the developed algorithm on telemedicine traffic transmission was evaluated. The result represents a significant increase in telemedicine user’s throughputs with a priority scheduling scheme. Over 20 rounds, the impact of packet sizes, traffic load conditions and codec rates on the average throughputs of telemedicine traffics were studied and discussed.

Ruang Lingkup Hukum Dagang
Authors: Rezky Sri
Published: July 2021

Rahasia dagang sekarang ini sudah merupakan salah satu bentuk investasi yang mahal di samping bentuk investasi lain yang harus dijaga terhadap semua pihak agar tidak disalahgunakan untuk kepentingan pihak lain melalui satu mekanisme persaingan yang tidak jujur. Rahasia Dagang adalah informasi di bidang teknologi dan bisnis yang tidak diketahui oleh masyarakat, memiliki nilai ekonomis yang disebabkan oleh kegunaannya dalam kegiatan bisnis, dan dirahasiakan oleh pemilik Rahasia Dagang. Perlindungan hukum terhadap rahasia dagang dapat dipisahkan menjadi beberapa bagian, yaitu: 1. Adanya unsur kontrak/perjanjian 2. Hak pemilik Rahasia Dagang diperhatikan (ada hak eksklusif) 3. Menampilkan perbuatan melawan hukum 4. Penyelesaian sengketa di pengadilan negara 5. Pengalihan hak rahasia dagang 6. Tidak ada jangka waktu perlindungan rahasia dagang. Bagaimana upaya pemilik rahasia dagang dalam mempertahankan keberadaan rahasia dagang untuk penyelesaian persaingan yang tidak sehat oleh pesaing dan tidak ada itikad baik, dan bagaimana bentuk penyelesaian konflik dalam pemecahan rahasia dagang. Sistem Perlindungan Rahasia Dagang memiliki cakupan yang lebih luas, karena di dalamnya terdapat ketentuan bahwa pembobolnya dapat dituntut secara perdata dan pidana. Pemberian perlindungan hukum atas rahasia dagang mempunyai arti penting, yaitu sebagai landasan bagi perlindungan yang efektif terhadap bentuk-bentuk informasi rahasia yang dikategorikan sebagai rahasia dagang dengan pengaturan pencegahan praktik persaingan tidak sehat yang dapat merugikan masyarakat. Disarankan perlindungan Undang-Undang Rahasia Dagang diatur lebih fokus karena Rahasia Dagang merupakan aset atau investasi yang bernilai tinggi dan mahal harganya bagi orang atau badan sebagai penemu Rahasia Dagang, oleh karena itu pemerintah membuat peraturan perundang-undangan untuk mengatur hal-hal tersebut. diperlukan terutama dalam melindungi aset yang bernilai ekonomi tinggi seperti Rahasia Dagang.
Situation Awareness Adaptive Alerting in an Aircraft Cockpit: A Simulator Study
Authors: Schwerd Simon , Schulte Axel
Published: July 2021

The goal of this study was to develop an automated cockpit support system that is adaptive to the flight crew’s situation awareness (SA) estimated by online gaze analysis. Flight crew errors are often attributed to low SA. Online measurement of SA could be used to automatically guide the user’s attention for the sake of fewer errors and better performance. An eye-tracking based measure for SA was developed and used to trigger alerts in a flight simulator. In an experiment, ten certified pilots conducted two trials, with and without adaptive alerting. The experimental task involved tracking of flight parameters which were disturbed or changed at either random or previously known times. Our online estimation of SA showed a strong correlation with observed pilot performance. With adaptive alerts, the average performance increased in those experimental tasks, where the change of flight parameters could not be predicted by participants. Also, adaptive alerts reduced mean and variance of change detection duration. However, subjective ratings were mixed due to low transparency and false positives. SA-adaptive support can improve change detection performance in typical tasks on the flight deck. For a greater acceptance, pilots should be trained to understand the adaption policy.
A Comparison of Memories of Fiction and Autobiographical Memories
Authors: Yang Brenda , Deffler Samantha A. , Marsh Elizabeth J.
Published: July 2021

People consume, remember, and discuss not only memories of lived experiences, but also events from works of fiction, such as books, movies, and television shows. We argue that these memories of fiction represent an important category of event memory, best understood within an autobiographical memory framework. How do fictional events yield psychological realities even when they are known to be invented? We explored this question in three studies by comparing the memory content, phenomenological qualities, and functional roles of naturally occurring personal memories to memories of fiction. In Studies 1 and 2, we characterized the subjective experience of memories of fiction by adapting established measures of autobiographical remembering, such as the Autobiographical Memory Questionnaire (Rubin et al., 2003), Centrality of Event Scale (Berntsen & Rubin, 2006), and items from the Thinking About Life Experiences scale (Bluck et al., 2005; Pillemer et al., 2015). In Study 3, we investigated similarities and differences in personal memories and memories of fiction for events from childhood or the recent past. In doing so, we observed the impact of a unique property of memories of fiction: their ability to be repeatedly re-experienced in their original form. Taken together, we argue that memories of fiction can be considered similar to other forms of autobiographical remembering and describe a theoretical framework for understanding memories of fiction in the context of other event memories.
A Catalyst for Change
Authors: De Boni Angelo Vincent
Published: July 2021

I review perspectives on Ethics in psychology and offer a more masculine paradigm for male counsellors. My experience as a 46-year-old male psychology student brings me in contact with the current basic ethics proposed by registration bodies. Our ethics may miss the mark for many people as they list noble efforts at prosocial norms yet don't culminate in a moral framework for the younger students. I propose the catalytic dynamic of respect, power, love which utilises and "respects the dynamism theorised by Maslow in the client’s needs status, harnessing the libido of Jung to create the ‘healthy individualism’ of May".
The Brexit Referendum and Three Types of Regret
Authors: Drinkwater Stephen , Jennings Colin
Published: July 2021

In this paper we examine three forms of regret in relation to the UK’s hugely significant referendum on EU membership that was held in June 2016. These are, (i) whether leave voters at the referendum subsequently regretted their choice (in the light of the result), (ii) whether non-voters regretted their decisions not to vote (remain) and (iii) whether individuals were more likely to indicate that it is everyone’s duty to vote following the referendum. We find evidence in favour of all three types of regret. In particular, leave voters and non-voters were significantly more likely to indicate that they would vote remain given their chance to do so again and there was a significant increase in the probability of an individual stating that it was everyone’s duty to vote in a general election in 2017 compared to 2015.
