Measuring women's experiences of childbirth using the Birth Satisfaction Scale-Revised (BSS-R)
Authors: Martin Caroline J Hollins , Martinez Lucia Jimenez , Martin Colin R
Published: May 2020

Birth satisfaction relates to women's perceptions of their childbirth experience, with importance placed on the midwife to improve standards of the intranatal care provided. With evaluating intranatal care in mind, this paper aims to educate midwives about one particular method of measuring women's experiences of labour, which involves using the valid and reliable Birth Satisfaction Scale-Revised (BSS-R). The BSS-R is a 10-item self-report valid and reliable measure, which is recommended by the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM) as the ‘method of choice’ for evaluating women's ‘birth experience’. Since the ICHOM began recommending the BSS-R as part of its pregnancy and childbirth standard set, the scale (at time of print) has been used in 39 countries and 134 sites around the world.
Self-management of oxygen and bronchodilators to relieve the dyspnoea of lung cancer with pneumoconiosis
Authors: Kim Jung Won , Park Eun Young
Published: May 2020

Objective:

This study aimed to evaluate the level of dyspnoea and the self-management strategies used to alleviate dyspnoea in lung cancer patients with concurrent pneumoconiosis, particularly oxygen therapy and bronchodilator treatment. Furthermore, the authors aimed to determine the factors associated with such self-management and to provide a basis for developing an applicable and safe treatment plan for alleviating dyspnoea.

Method:

This study involved a cross-sectional survey. Data were collected using self-report questionnaires from 79 participants between January and July 2016, and self-management strategies were analysed using analysis of variance and multiple logistic regression analysis.

Results:

In terms of the self-management practices employed to relieve dyspnoea, 53.2% of the patients adjusted their oxygen intake and 70.9% used bronchodilators over the prescribed dosage. Adjusting the oxygen intake was not significantly associated with any of the patient characteristics. The factors related to increased bronchodilator use were the presence of comorbidities, cardiopulmonary function, subjective respiratory distress, activities of daily living, and the number of prescribed bronchodilators.

Conclusion:

Dyspnoea is a severe critical condition, and urgent management of its clinical symptoms is required. Healthcare professionals who care for patients with lung cancer with pneumoconiosis should pay attention to the dyspnoea and manage it based on clinical evidence. Development of customised, integrated nursing treatment plans is needed to alleviate dyspnoea in patients with complications and chronic dyspnoea who have low daily activity levels.

Pay, terms and conditions for primary care nursing teams
Authors: Marsden Paula
Published: May 2020

With recruitment into primary care slow and pay structures still up for debate, Paula Marsden reveals how Primary Care Networks and the new Allied Health Professional roles can assist general practices in retaining nurses

The Government has promised to deliver 50 000 more nurses and to partially reinstate the student nurse bursary plan. One programme that has been successful in creating a more rigid career framework for primary care nurses is the General Practice Nursing 10 Point Plan (GPN10PP) ( NHS England, 2017 ). However, the GPN10PP omitted any reference to pay, terms and conditions. Furthermore, the number of nurses moving out of the community setting and into general practice remains slow, due to general practices' ability to provide adequate training placements. This paper discusses how the newly formed Primary Care Networks (PCNs) can aid in improving recruitment, as well as how to improve pay, terms and conditions for primary care nurses.

Abstract. Tan JMP, Banaticla-Hilario MC, Malabrigo P, Angeles MD, JR Buot IE. 2020. Anatomical examination of the petiole of eupolypods I (Polypodiales). Biodiversitas 21: 1767-1777. The efficiency of petiole anatomy characters in identifying and describing the species and families of eupolypods I (Polypodiales) were explored. Specimens of 21 species, representing 13 genera and nine families were collected and processed in the laboratory, following proper dehydration and staining protocols. Transverse sections of the basal, median, and distal portions of the petiole were examined, photographed and analyzed. The results showed five taxonomically significant characters that can serve as family markers: (i) xylem shape, (ii) vascular bundle shape, (iii) number of vascular bundles, (iv) presence and absence of circumendodermal band, and (v) presence and absence of adaxial grooves. Based on these characters, a taxonomic key to the families of eupolypods I was constructed.

Abstract. Hidayati N, Rini DS. 2020. Assessment of plants as lead and cadmium accumulators for phytoremediation of contaminated rice field. Biodiversitas 21: 1928-1934. Heavy metals contamination in agricultural land becoming a serious problem since this causes declining in agriculture production and quality and thus food safety. Meanwhile, conventional efforts for remediation of the contaminated agricultural lands have not been widely implemented due to high-cost constraints. A low-cost technology that can be applied in contaminated sites is phytoremediation. This technique is based on the fact that plants have the ability to extract and accumulate heavy metals. This research aimed to study the potentials of some plant species as accumulators for phytoremediation in rice fields contaminated by heavy metals of lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd). Six selected accumulator plant species, namely Colocasia sp., Ipomoea fistulosa Mart. ex Choisy, Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms, Hymenachne amplexicaulis (Rudge) Nees), Saccharum spontaneum L., and Acorus calamus L., were tested in in-situ field to identify the performance of the plants as accumulators for Pb and Cd. Parameters observed were plant growth and biomass production, and the accumulation of Pb and Cd in plants which is formulated as: bioconcentration factor (BCF) to indicate concentration ratio of metal in plant to soil, and translocation factor (TF) to indicate metal transportation ratio of shoot to root. The results showed that plants with the highest growth rate under contaminated conditions were E. crassipes, A. calamus, and H. amplexicaulis. The highest value of BCF for Pb accumulation was recorded in the shoot of H. amplexicaulis and E. crassipes and in the root of H. amplexicaulis and A. calamus, whereas the highest value of TF for Pb was observed in E. crassipes, S. spontaneum, and H. amplexicaulis. Meanwhile, the highest value of BCF for Cd in the shoot and in the root was observed in Colocasia sp and H. amplexicaulis whereas the highest value of TF for Cd was identified in A calamus and Colocasia sp. With regards to the performance of plant growth, biomass production, and accumulation of Pb and Cd, it is suggested that three plant species, namely E. crassipes, A. calamus, and H. amplexicaulis are considered as potential Pb and Cd accumulators for phytoremediation of contaminated rice fields. Our findings suggest that some plants can produce high biomass and absorb high contaminants while other plants cannot, implying that plants respond differently to different environmental conditions. Therefore continuous research is required to obtain the best plant species for phytoremediation.

Abstract. Zulkarnaen RN, Garvita RV, Wawangningrum, H, Tyas KN. 2020. Population ecology size and habitat preference of the ghost orchid Didymoplexis pallens in Bogor Botanic Gardens, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 2056-2061.  Didymoplexis pallens is a terrestrial orchid that has leafless characteristics. The population ecology of D. pallens is still not widely known because it only grows in certain areas and at certain times. This study aims to know the population ecology and habitat preference of D. pallens. The study was conducted in Bogor Botanic Gardens where D. pallens occurred naturally. The research method uses purposive sampling by establishing observation plots around bamboo collections in the garden. The results showed that D. pallens had a large population around specific bamboos, such as Gigantochloa verticillate, Gigantochloa atroviolacea and Dendrocalamus giganteus. In addition, the presence of D. pallens populations was strongly influenced by the presence of other plants that compete around it and light intensity. The Principal Component Analysis revealed there are two components of the abiotic factor that influenced the existence of D. pallens, i.e. the first component consisting of coverage, air humidity, temperature, and soil humidity. The second component consisting of litter thickness and soil pH.

Abstract. Ramarumo LJ, Maroyi A. 2020. An inventory of useful threatened plant species in Vhembe Biosphere Reserve, Limpopo Province, South Africa. Biodiversitas 21: 2146-2158. Scientists and conservation managers are seeking to understand and monitor plant species that are likely to be on the verge of extinction risk. Monitoring of threatened plants’ extinction risk can be better achieved through insights about indigenous knowledge dynamics associated with those species. This study aimed to document detailed information about useful threatened plant species in the Vhembe Biosphere Reserve, Limpopo Province, South Africa. Data was collected through interviews with 203 participants and literally counting of individuals as per the IUCN’s Red List Criteria. A total of 13 useful and native threatened plants belonging to 12 families were recorded. The majority of the threatened plant species were being used for medicinal purposes only (46.0%) followed by the mixture of medicinal and ornamentals (23.0%). The frequently cited useful threatened species with UV > 0.024, RFC > 0.059 and FL > 5.911%, includes Asparagus sekukuniensis, Bowiea volubilis, Brackenridgea zanguebarica, Ocotea bullata, Rhynchosia vendae, Siphonochilus aethiopicus and Warburgia salutaris. About 47.0% of the recorded useful threatened plants were distributed in remote areas of the Thathe Vonḓo and its surroundings. Threatened plants with the population size < 100 adult individuals constitute an overall of 61.54% of all the recorded species. The current study provides substantial information about useful threatened plant species in the studied region. Detailed information about threatened plant species remains fundamental for making informed decisions that are important for managing species of conservation concern.

Abstract. Faizal A, Taufik I, Rchman AF, Azar AWP. 2020. Short Communication: Antioxidant and antibacterial properties of tree fern Cyathea contaminans. Biodiversitas 21: 2201-2205. Cyathea contaminans (Wall. ex Hook) Copel is a tree fern used in traditional practices as herbal remedies to treat different kinds of diseases. To explore its further medicinal uses, we designed a study to determine the antioxidant and antibacterial activities of polar and non-polar extracts of this fern. The fern leaves (mature fronds), young fronds, and hairs were collected from Tangkuban Perahu Nature Park, West Java, Indonesia, and were extracted by methanol 80% or n-hexane. Antioxidant activity was evaluated by DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) assay, whereas antibacterial activity was measured by growth inhibition of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Results showed that methanol extract from mature leaves (fronds) exhibits weak to very strong antioxidant activities (IC50 37.13-225.19 µg/mL), whilst hairs and young fronds showed weak activities, i.e. IC50 179.50-255.49 µg/mL and IC50 544.27->2000 µg/mL, respectively. Hexane fraction from fronds was active against E. coli and S. aureus (43.92% and 46.8%), and from hairs against E. coli (48.1%) in concentration of 250 µg/mL. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis indicated that active compounds from fronds extract were dominated by 2H-tetrazole, 5-(thiophen-2yl) methyl (14,29 %), 2-thiophene acetic acid, 2-methyl phenyl ester (14,54%), and phenol, 2,6-bis(1,1-dimethyl ethyl)-4-methyl (10.54%). This study concluded that mature leaves (fronds) of C. contaminans is the potential to be used as antioxidant and antibacterial agents.

Diversity, abundance, activity period, and factors affecting the appearance of wildlife around the corridors between Khao Yai-Thap Lan National Parks, Thailand by camera trapping. Biodiversitas 21: xxxx. The study on diversity, abundance, activity period, and factors affecting the appearance of wildlife around the wildlife corridors was investigated using camera trap method from September 2017 to November 2018. The corridors located at the royal highway in Ban Bu Phram Subdistrict, Na Di District, Prachinburi Province, Thailand. Based on 21 camera locations, 3,172 trap nights and 6,707 captured pictures totally resulted that a total of 37 species represented by 14 orders and 26 families consisting of 13 species of herbivores, 10 species of carnivores, 10 species of aves and 4 species of reptiles were photographically recorded in the area. Among the wildlife species, 4 species were listed as endangered according to IUCN Red List including Malayan pangolin, large-spotted civet, dhole, Asian forest tortoise, 5 species were listed as vulnerable, there were Sumatran serow, gaur, sambar deer, northern pig-tailed macaque, Asian black bear, and 21 species were listed as least concerned, such as lesser oriental chevrotain, Himalayan porcupine, Asian palm civet, large Indian civet, small Indian civet, hog badger, small Asian mongoose, golden jackal, red jungle fowl, Siamese fireback, coral-billed ground cuckoo and so on. Based on photographic rate of each species, the herbivorous wildlife species represented the relative abundance index of 15.04. The carnivorous wildlife species which had the relative abundance index of 4.70, while the RAI of the aves and reptiles were 1.91 and 0.12. The activity period found that the majority were found at night. This study showed that wildlife corridors have a high influence on the appearance of wildlife, demonstrating the potential of the corridors be used by wildlife for travelling. However, the wildlife corridors should be designed to be suitable for the particular types of animals, especially by increasing the construction of underpasses for mammal at locations with the highest and the number of crossings and also must reduce noise from vehicles, especially at night.

Abstract. Landicho LD, Ocampo MTNP, Cabahug RED, Baliton RS, Andalecio E, Inocencio R, Servanez M, Cosico RSA, Abadillos MG, Catillo AKA. 2020. Tiger grass (Thysanolaena maxima) cultivation in CALSANAG watershed in Romblon, Philippines: dilemmas and prospects for sustainable natural resources management. Biodiversitas 21: 2322-2330. Promoting sustainable natural resources management is a complex issue such that striking a balance between socioeconomic productivity and environmental integrity remains a challenge. This paper highlights the results of a study conducted from April to December 2019, which assessed the state of natural resources management in Barangay Marinorte, Romblon, which is part of the CALSANAG (Calatrava, San Andres, and San Agustin) Watershed. Biophysical characterization was done to determine land use and biodiversity, while farm household survey was administered to 133 farmers to characterize their socioeconomic conditions. Results showed that all of the farmer-respondents were engaged in the production of tiger grass (Thysanolaena maxima Roxb), where most of the farm households derived an estimated annual income of >Php50,000. Although their household income is higher as compared to other upland farming communities in the Philippines, most of them expressed that their income is insufficient since tiger grass is harvested only once a year, and the farmers have no alternative sources of income. On the other hand, biophysical characterization revealed the following: the farms are generally rainfed, have rolled to steep slopes, and have indications of low soil fertility, soil erosion incidence, and very low level of biodiversity (0.92). Most of the farmers practiced "slash-and-burn" to cultivate tiger grass as a single crop and hence, the forest cover has declined. A multi-agency collaboration jointly initiated agroforestry promotion in the upland farming communities through capability-building of upland farmers in agroforestry and establishment of tiger grass-based agroforestry model which showcases the economic and ecological viability of agroforestry systems in CALSANAG Watershed.
Single-shot speckle reduction by elimination of redundant speckle patterns in digital holography

Published: May 2020

Speckle reduction is a crucial technique, since the presence of speckle disturbs the quality of the reconstruction in digital holography. In this paper, we present a redundant speckle elimination method to suppress the speckle noise. For the same position in each of the reconstructed sub-images, we consider pixels with the same gray value as information with the same speckle distribution. Therefore, a speckle-suppressed gray value can be obtained by extracting pixels with different gray values and then averaging. Through theoretical analysis and experiments, we demonstrate that speckle contrast can be decreased significantly by using the proposed method. Moreover, we show that the despeckle strength of the proposed method highly depends on the number of binary masks. These results indicate the potential of the proposed method for various applications.

Published: May 2020

Plasmonic lithography can utilize evanescent waves to produce subdiffraction patterns. However, the high loss and shallow depth of patterns severely obstruct its application in practice. In this work, a large focal depth is achieved for deep subwavelength lithography. It is accomplished by employing radially polarized light to excite surface plasmons on a concentric annular grating and combining designed epsilon-near-zero metamaterial to select a high spatial frequency mode, which can shape an evanescent Bessel beam in a photoresist (PR). Moreover, the intensity distribution of the subdiffraction beam can be further enhanced and uniformized by adding reflective layers. It is shown that a needle-like beam with a focal depth of over 500 nm (

1.23

λ

) is formed in the PR layer, and the full width at half maximum of the beam is widened from only 80 nm (

0.2

λ

) to 94 nm (

0.23

λ

). The analyses indicate that this design is applicable for direct writing lithography to produce super-resolution patterns with small feature size, high aspect ratio, and strong field intensity.
Multipath wave-particle duality in classical optics
Authors: Paul Bibhash , Kamal Sammi , Qureshi Tabish
Published: May 2020

It is well known that in classical optics, the visibility of interference, in a two-beam light interference, is related to the optical coherence of the two beams. A wave-particle duality relation can be derived using this mutual coherence. The issue of wave-particle duality in classical optics is analyzed here, in the more general context of multipath interference. New definitions of interference visibility and path distinguishability have been introduced, which lead to a duality relation for multipath interference. The visibility is shown to be related to a new multipoint optical coherence function.
Snapshot phase-shifting diffraction phase microscope
Authors: Tian Xiaobo , Liang Rongguang
Published: May 2020

We propose a novel and simple snapshot phase-shifting diffraction phase microscope with a polarization grating and spatial phase-shifting technology. Polarization grating separates the incident beam into left and right circular polarization beams, one of which is used as the reference beam after passing through a pinhole. Four phase-shifted interferograms can be captured simultaneously from the polarization camera to reconstruct the high spatial resolution phase map. The principle is presented in this Letter, and the performance of the proposed system is demonstrated experimentally. Due to the near-common-path configuration and snapshot feature, the proposed system provides a feasible way for real-time quantitative phase measurement with minimal sensitivity to vibration and thermal disturbance.

The international practice among leading companies indicates that there is no successful development and sound company performance improvement, particularly, in tourism, without a proper strategy as a complex of measures tailored to achieve the set goal.

Technology development in tourism represents a leading trend of the global economy, shaped by the restructuring of modern society. The Russian Federation public policy has a clear set economic goal in the tourism sector, which is to transform tourism as a competitive, innovative stable and profitable sector of national business. Tourism is characterised by a complicated relationship system between the providers and consumers of services, between travel companies and their competitors and between business partners. A travel company's activities in the market include finding a niche; tourism product development; determining the scope of services; refinement of pricing; expansion of promotion activities, research; ensuring investment; cooperation with other companies; government relations. Today, various methods and models are intensely adopted in the development of business management systems in tourism, which reflects the increased competitiveness of products in the tourism market. The paper discusses development models for travel companies, methods for solving optimisation problems of the regional territorial arrangement of tourism and hotel business and establishes the influence of external environment factors over the creation of a hotel operation.

Published: May 2020

Purpose - The tourism sector has played an important role for the economy of island destinations such as Bali. The importance of food tourism as an alternative tourism to promote sustainability for Bali has not been fully explored in terms of visitors’ point-of-view; therefore, the knowledge about satisfaction of tourists about food experience is still in its initial stages. This research aims to explore the satisfaction of international tourists and asses if food has the potential to be used as an alternative to promote sustainable tourism.

Design – Besides the theoretical implication of this research regarding tourism industry in Indonesia, this study also gives practical application into the matter of tourism industry in Indonesia.

Methodology - This research applied a quantitative method where self-administrated questionnaires were distributed among 150 participants. Some statistical analysis such as factor analysis, multiple linear regression and descriptive analysis were used to analyze the data.

Findings - The finding of analysis showed that “environment” and “serving” were significant factors that affected the satisfaction of tourists. The findings have implications for food tourism management and marketing strategies in order to promote sustainable tourism in 3s destinations.

Originality - This study was one of the few to assess the role of food as an alternative tourism in 3S destination.

Published: May 2020

The article deals with the main issues recently faced by the hospitality industry, as well as suggestions for their elimination and minimization. The study has shown that the main issues include the large gap between the practical and theoretical aspects of the training process, in addition to the insufficient amount of practice during the whole course of studying in the field of “Hotel industry”, which makes it impossible to adequately prepare graduates for competition on the labor market in the area of hotel service. Other issues include the lack of language teaching in higher education institutions that specialize in training hospitality business professionals, which undermines the entire education system aimed at communication with foreign guests. In the article, the authors analyze the problems of Russian higher education related to training professionals for the hospitality industry. These problems lead to the loss of competitiveness on the European and global market of educational services. The authors identify the key elements in the training of specialists that require improvements to engage in competition. After the study in this field was conducted, the ways of solving the identified problems were proposed. The solutions involved the principles of creating a competitive school of hotel management in Russia as a factor in the development of the resource potential of hotels. As a result, the prestige of studying in such higher education institutions rises.

Published: May 2020

Preservation of historical buildings and sites is vital to uphold and conserve a nation’s history and heritage. The importance of preservation works on historical buildings and sites in Malaysia towards its tourism industry can be considered as vague, hence the benefit and values of preservation work is still ambiguous. This study estimates willingness to pay (WTP) of domestic tourists for the preservation of UNESCO World Heritage Site (WHS) Stadthuys, Malacca, Malaysia. This study applied Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) through questionnaires which have been distributed to 100 domestic tourists. The results of the CVM were one of the appropriate techniques to estimate the economic value of the cultural and historical preservation works. On average, respondents were willing to pay approximately RM 8.82 for the preservation of the Stadthuys, in which this value was higher than the current fee, RM5. It demonstrated that visitors were willing to contribute in any preservation efforts of the site and the allocation of money can be used as maintenance cost of the heritage. Public involvement in tourism services demonstrates positive influences on protection of cultural heritage and development of local communities too. The originality of this paper is presented how the field of economic valuation denotes to calculate value for sustainable tourism in world heritage sites.

Published: May 2020

The economic injustice and the imbalance of natural resources resulting from tourism exploitation requires other alternatives in its management, such as ecotourism. However, this demand can only be realized if from the beginning, the community has been prepared to be a major player in the ecotourism management. The present study aimed at discussing a model of economic empowerment based on leading ecotourism sectors towards the competency of local community entrepreneurs. This study uses a pre-trial procedure by designing a group pretest-posttest. Samples were drawn from the jewelry, cultivation, culinary and souvenir ecotourism product business groups chosen purposively. The data were collected with project-based assessment and the analyzed comparatively. The new model consists of 5 (five) main components, namely: objectives, targets, materials, procedures, and evaluations. The products consist of: community economic improvement guidelines, ecotourism product development modules (crafts, culinary, aquaculture, and souvenirs), business development and marketing modules, and project production guides. The experiment shows that the ecotourism sector-based economic development model has proven to be effective in the formation of local community entrepreneurship competencies in producing ecotourism products. The implication is that it needs support from the policies makers and the importance of the extension of sustainable economy theory in tourism sector in the Indonesian context.

The process of acquiring civic competences by students in the school space – analysis of theoretical foundations
Authors: Kamecka-Antczak Celina
Published: May 2020

The article analyses three selected theories: the theory of communicative action proposed by Jürgen Habermas, the theory of social learning by Albert Bandura, as well as dramaturgical theory by Erving Goffman. The aim of the analysis was to find one leading theory of the process of acquiring civic competences. The selected theory should meet the set conditions that allow it to be used in school space. Civic competences are understood as a particular subtype of social competences, the acquisition of which is an important element of social development. The scope of the definition of civic competences depends on the theoretical approach adopted. School space is a community made up of students, teachers and parents, who focus on a common goal. This space is also where students’ socialisation takes place. The analysis was carried out on the basis of 5 questions regarding the subject, determinants, mechanism, place in development, and criteria for verifying the process of acquiring civic competences by students in the school space. The answers to the questions listed in the table have become the criteria for the analysis. However, this analysis did not allow for choosing a leading theory. None of the theories has met all the conditions set.
Development of the School Events Locus of Control Scale
Authors: Poziemska Joanna
Published: May 2020

Many studies have shown that the activity of individuals depends, among others, on constructs such as self-efficacy, self-esteem, motivation, learned helplessness or relations with the environment. They are in turn closely related to the locus of control. As it takes shape under the influence of experiences, past events are important in this process, for students – school events in particular must be taken into account. Due to the fact that tools are missing that could be used by paedagogues to study and diagnose the locus of control of school events in pupils, an attempt has been made to construct it. Existing tools are constructed in other cultures or socio-economic conditions, so this research is an attempt to construct a tool to determine the direction of explaining school events, separately for successes and failures. The sample consisted of 449 second graders from schools above the lower secondary level. The reliability of the tool was verified by the internal compliance coefficient and the validity – by studying the relationship with the chosen variables. The tool can be considered validated. In terms of the failures scale, the tool achieved satisfactory reliability, while the in terms of the scale of success – it needs more development.
Young Disabled Adults Facing Developmental Tasks and Life Choices – In Search of Daily Life Quality
Authors: Suchodolska Jolanta
Published: May 2020

Emerging adulthood, in numerous individual biographies, also in the case of disabled people, is the time of permanent need for self-actualisation and time of verifying one’s subjective vision of “being an adult,” i.e. being responsible for one’s own decisions, pursuing professional and economic independence. Due to developmental acceleration, sociological shift in terms of undertaken roles and realized developmental tasks as well as their moratoriumlinked delays, it is also the time conducive to educational activity. This psychological time of a young person, its course and specificity depend, to a large extent, on numerous (micro-, mezo- and macro-) conditions of family life and social life in today’s world which is more competitive and less predictable than it used to be for generation of the late 1990s. All of these factors contribute to the fact that maturing to adulthood seems to be a state which is harder to achieve nowadays. It is displayed in the form of delaying the moment of taking up a job or other important decisions in family and relationship contexts.The study aims to present the selected aspects of daily life of disabled young adults, described in the context of developmental tasks of this period and considering the perspective of investment in relationships, development of one’s own resources, pursuing education and entering the job market which are all, from a temporal perspective, a chance of complementing one’s own identity.
On instant pedagogy
Authors: Marzec Jarosław
Published: May 2020

The main intention of this text is to show the interpretative track in the attempt to find the genealogy of expert appraisal. The main thesis expresses Zygmunt Bauman’s view of mutual connection between the weak and light status of identity in consumer culture and the tendency to create cultural practices in order to overcome that weakness, and to strengthen and confirm that status of identity. On the one hand, the main feature of consumer culture and our freedom expressed by consumption determines our identities and is the main reason for „corrosion of identity” (R. Sennett), but on the other hand it demands and generates the necessity of cultural institutions that guarantee its confirmation. Hence, we may find the reason for the so-called „counselling boom” and expansion of expert appraisal in our risk society. The presented text also shows the cultural background for cultural practices in the risk society and consists of the attempt to grasp social instant pedagogies. This phenomenon is analysed here by the role of advertisements and psychological guides as the main cultural practices of instant pedagogy. My intention seeks to bring to account often hidden and obvious practices, and to highlight in a critical manner the tendencies in our social milieu and in the face of „the unbearable lightness of consumption”.
The World of the Child in Selected Poems by Joanna Kulmowa
Authors: Rogalska Elżbieta
Published: May 2020

“Children’s need for miracles” has been accentuated as elements appearing in the selected poems by Joanna Kulmowa, which allow the child to be amazed by the world; they are a predicator to the appearance of tutoring. The astonishment with the world, as a place full of lyricism, enables the consolidation of identity by the emergence of the child’s “I”. Not judging and classifying. Subjectivity is emphasized: the seriousness of the child’s world, understanding oneself, transforming the world, individuality, respect, acceptance, cooperation, responsibility, independence, sense of agency and dialogue. It was concluded that the main “miracle” is dialogue which: requires presence to be astonished by the world; raises the child’s responsibility for another person; cannot be deprived of love; manifests itself in the “question-cry “ for presence as a result of trust in the subject of the relationship. The objectives of the study were: to define dialogue as Bettelheim’s “miracle” in selected poems by J. Kulmowa; demonstrate that selected poems of J. Kulmowa are dialogical. The aim of the article was to: present the “miracles” in the child’s world in selected poems by Joanna Kulmowa. The method of hermeneutics was used based on the methodology of Wolfgang Klafka. It seems important that so far the selected poetry of J. Kulmowa has not been interpreted in relation to Bettelheim’s concept of “miracle” and its connection with the philosophy of dialogue, pedagogy and literary studies at the same time.
Characterization of velocity fluctuations and the transition from transient to steady state shear banding with and without pre-shear in a wormlike micelle solution under shear startup by Rheo-NMR
Authors: Al-kaby Rehab N. , Codd Sarah L. , Seymour Joseph D. , Brown Jennifer R.
Published: May 2020

Rheo-NMR velocimetry was used to study shear banding of a 6 wt.% cetylpyridinium chloride (CPCl) worm-like micelle solution under shear startup conditions with and without pre-shear. 1D velocity profiles across the fluid gap of a concentric cylinder Couette shear cell were measured every 1 s following shear startup for four different applied shear rates within the stress plateau. Fitting of the velocity profiles allowed calculation of the shear banding characteristics (shear rates in the high and low shear band, the interface position and apparent slip at the inner rotating wall) as the flow transitioned from transient to steady state regimes. Characteristic timescales to reach steady state were obtained and found to be similar for all shear banding characteristics. Timescales decreased with increasing applied shear rate. Large temporal fluctuations with time were also observed and Fourier transform of the time and velocity autocorrelation functions quantified the fluctuation frequencies. Frequencies corresponded to the elastically driven hydrodynamic instabilities,i.e.vortices, that are known to occur in the unstable high shear band and were dependent upon both applied shear rate and the pre-shear protocol.

Published: May 2020

Persistent luminescent amorphous borosilicate scaffolds were successfully prepared, for the first time, with a porosity of >70% using the burn-off technique. The persistent luminescence was obtained by adding the SrAl2O4:Eu2+,Dy3+ microparticles: i) in the glass melt or ii) in the glass crushed into powder prior to the sintering. The scaffolds prepared by adding the microparticles in the glass melt exhibits lower persistent luminescence and a slower reaction rate in simulated body fluid than the scaffolds prepared by adding the microparticles in the glass powder due to the release of strontium from the microparticles into the glass during the glass melting.
