Authors: Malekzadeh Farideh , Navid Behnaz , Mohammadi Maryam , Omni Samani Reza 
Published: September 2020

Introduction: Infertility could decrease the self-esteem of the infertile couples. Using the defensive style is one way to deal with stressful events. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the role of self-esteem and defense mechanisms based on the cause of infertility.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 400 infertile couples referred to infertility center in Tehran, Iran. Participates classified in 4 groups for the cause of infertility: female, male, both and unknown. Data gathering tools in this study were demographic questionnaire, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and Defense Styles Questionnaire (DSQ). Data were analyzed (SPSS 18 software) using paired t-test for comparison between the groups according to the cause of infertility and using regression analyses tests.
Results: The results of this study showed that men in female infertility group has significantly higher self –esteem than other groups (P<0.049). In couples, husbands with female and male factor showed more self-esteem than their wives (P< 0.001, P<0.008, respectively). In defense mechanisms, there was no difference between women, men, and couples. In this study, self-esteem showed a negative relationship with immature and neurotic defense mechanisms and a positive relationship with mature defense mechanism.
Conclusion: The findings of this study showed that women had higher levels of vulnerability than their husbands did even when they were not the cause of infertility so they have a low self-esteem. Therefore, it is suggested that infertile women receive more psychological counseling than men, and in order to facilitate the treatment of infertile couples and provide better services to improve marital relationships and solve their problems, differences between men and women about psychological issues should be considered.

Published: September 2020

Con el fin de afrontar los desafíos del aumento demográfico de la educación superior, las Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES) crearon los Servicios de Apoyo Psicológico buscando:(a) ayudar a la adaptación a la universidad, (b) mejorar el desarrollo de los estudiantes y (c) favorecer su integración en el mercado laboral. El presente estudio investigó la estructura de los Servicios de Apoyo Psicológico en las IES de Portugal, así como las principales actividades desarrolladas por los psicólogos escolares. A partir de las entrevistas realizadasen ocho servicios de apoyo psicológico, se observó que todos ellos están diseñados para los estudiantes. Si bien la actividad principal es la consulta psicológica para los estudiantes, los psicólogos educacionales desarrollan también una variedad de actividades de intervención, tales como: programas de desarrollo de competencias, apoyo a los estudiantes con necesidades especiales y programas de tutoría para dar la bienvenida a nuevos estudiantes. Asimismo, en la actualidad los servicios están trabajando con otros agentes y de manera preventiva. Se propone que las acciones dirigidas a los proyectos educativos y la evaluación institucional podrían promover un cambio cualitativo en los servicios.

5PM and DoC - Formal Models for Game Design
Authors: Mora-Zamora Rodolfo , Brenes-Villalobos Esteban , Durán Francisco 
Published: September 2020

A formal language for game design is an endeavor many academics and industry personalities have been tackling since the mid-nineties. One of the most renowned formal models for game design, the MDA Framework, includes steps to delimit and conceptualize the experience with a top-down approach. There is, however, a significant lack of high detail models for mechanic construction as well as difficulty balancing.
In this paper we propose two formal models for novice designers. The 5-Part-Model (5PM) for building and diagnosing game mechanics, and the Dimensions of Challenge (DoC) formal model for balancing and fine-tuning difficulty in games.

Published: September 2020

Abstract

Introduction: Quality of life is a multidimensional concept and a subjective value that depends on many factors. Disability caused by sight loss induces changes for both patients and their carers. The function of a blind person’s carer is usually performed by family members, whose limited knowledge limits their ability to help effectively and satisfactorily. This, in turn, may lead to their reduced sense of the quality of life.
The aim of this study was to assess the quality of life of blind people’s carers.

Materials and methods: The study was conducted September– October 2016 and involved 130 blind peoples’ carers using a diagnostic poll. Short Form Survey SF-36 and a specially designed questionnaire were used. The majority of participants were women (69.23%), married couples (63.1%), with high school education (40.77%).

Results: Wellbeing self-assessment indicated that 36.15% of carers considered their mental condition to have worsened, while 43.08% remained at the same level when compared to 1 year earlier. Analysis of quality of life showed that carers very highly rated their physical functioning 59.46 ±26.35; social functioning 57.4 ±26.12; vitality 55.48 ±23.27; and emotional functioning 54.81 ±29.24.

Conclusions: Quality of life tends to gradually deteriorate as the carers grow older. The carer’s educational background and the professional activity of the disabled person influence the assessment of the carer’s quality of life.

Published: September 2020

AbstractIntroduction: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory and non--infectious skin disease. It is one of the most common dermatoses. Increased reproduction of the epidermis and, as a consequence, visible skin lesions negatively affect the patient’s psyche, disrupt self-esteem, reducing the chance of accepting the disease and a normal life.The aim of this study was the assessment of the level of acceptance of the illness and identification of factors affecting its acceptance among patients with psoriasis.Materials and methods: The study involved 132 individuals, comprising 113 women and 19 men. This survey-based study was conducted via the Internet using the author’s questionnaire and the Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS).Results: Acceptance of the illness level was rated great and moderate by respectively 43.9% and 39.4% of respondents. Over 66.7% of the patients described their self-esteem as high obtaineda great level of acceptance of the illness according to the AIS. In the examined group, 58% of the patients not accepted psoriatic lesions on their body. Over 60% of the respondents experienced negative reactions from society regarding the disease, and almost 50% of them experienced other people’s reactions resulting from concerns about contracting the disease; these patients obtained lower AIS scores.Conclusions: The obtained results indicate a great illness acceptance among the examined group of the patients with psoriasis. The level of acceptance was influenced by the patient’s self--esteem in relation to the disease, acceptance of their own body image, altered by the disease, experiencing the negative reactions from the society regarding the disease, and the reactions of the other people resulting from concerns about contracting the disease.
Delivering bad news in the perspective of patient rights
Authors: Sobczak Krzysztof , Leoniuk Katarzyna , Janaszczyk Agata 
Published: September 2020

Abstract

Introduction: The necessity to deliver bad news to patients is one of the classic challenges of medical communication. The applicable patient rights oblige doctors to communicate full information concerning adverse condition tactfully and cautiously. The purpose of the study was to determine the level of knowledge of the rights and responsibilities of the patient in people who had received bad news, to identify the fields in which knowledge is lacking and to check if the level of knowledge affected the patient’s behaviour.

Materials and methods: The study was conducted with 314 people who had been given bad news. An original Computer-Assisted Web Interview (CAWI) online survey questionnaire was used. Reaching the respondents was possible thanks to our cooperation with national patient organisations and electronic media.

Results: One in 5 respondents (21%) was characterised by little knowledge concerning patient rights and responsibilities; 67% had a moderate level of knowledge or were almost fully aware of their rights. A vast majority of the respondents knew that they were entitled to full information about their condition, prognosis and treatment, as well as an inspection of their medical documentation.

Conclusions: The knowledge of patient rights seems to be at an unsatisfactory level. Respondents with a higher education and those suffering from cancer had more knowledge. Patients with little or a moderate level of knowledge of patient rights and responsibilities were more likely to change their attending physicians or discontinue their treatments.
In-Situ Generation and Propagation of Well-Defined Nanocellulose Strengthened Gaseous and Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Foams in Tight Formation Fractures for Conformance Control
Authors: Wei Bing , Chen Shengen , Tian Qingtao , Lu Jun , Xu Xingguang 
Published: September 2020

Summary
Foam stability primarily determines the efficiency of foam-induced conformance control, especially when fractures exist in formations. In this work, a well-defined nanocellulose fibril (NCF)-strengthened carbon dioxide foam (NCF-st-CO2 foam) was proposed, aiming to improve the conformance of tight formations with fractures. The bulk characteristics of NCF-st-CO2 foam including foamability, foam stability, and texture were thoroughly investigated in a high-temperature and high-pressure (HT-HP) cell. Afterward, foam flow in fracture models was simulated, intending to correlate the generated differential pressure with the parameters of foam quality, fracture aperture, and fluid velocities, which helped to understand the foam generation, propagation, and mobility in fractures. The capacity of this foam in controlling conformance and improving oil recovery in a fractured core was finally evaluated. Conventional CO2 foam (without NCF) was used as the reference throughout this work. The results indicated that the addition of NCF into CO2 foam considerably retarded the liquid drainage and bubble coalescence, which consequently stabilized the CO2 foam, especially in the presence of crude oil. NCF-st-CO2 foam presented dense bubbles and a thick framework as observed visually from the cell. The flow behaviors of CO2 foam in fractures were largely determined by the bulk foam stability. NCF-st-CO2 foam could be generated in situ (aperture from 0.5 to 5.0 mm) and then properly propagated throughout the fractures at a low mobility without any plugging issues. In coreflooding tests conducted on the model with fracture aperture of 0.5 mm, the NCF-st-CO2 foam injection exhibited a delayed breakthrough, which finally led to an incremental oil recovery of 8.6% original oil in place (OOIP) after conventional CO2 foam treatment. These results demonstrated the promising potential of NCF-st-CO2 foam in conformance control in tight formations.

Abstract
The aim of this work is to develop an approach to multivariate optimization of development systems for tight oil reservoirs of the Achimov formation, where large volume of drilling of RN-Yuganskneftegaz LLC are currently concentrated on. The approach described in the paper is an integral part of the corporate module "Decision Support System for drilling out new sections of tight oil reservoirs", which allows making quick design decisions for new drilling sites of target objects.
The main factors that reduce the development efficiency of such objects, in particular with the use of water flooding methods, are the low piezoconductivity and high heterogeneity of a reservoir that leads to relatively high rates of decline in fluid production and, in particular, to long response productivity time for production wells to injection.
In this paper, we consider a multi-criteria assessment of the effectiveness of various well placement systems in various conditions that characterize the geological features of tight oil reservoirs and low-connected reservoirs. A specific example is considered - tight oil heterogeneous reservoir of the northern part of Priobskoye field, for which oil production is calculated by numerical hydrodynamic modeling methods.
As a result of development and testing of the approach:
Main geological and technological parameters are estimated that affect development indicators and empirical dependencies derivation (of the development indicators) on the geological features of the selected clusters of Priobskoye field target objects; A method being proposed for description of a various geological features of the reservoirs of Achimov formation target objects by using synthetic stochastic 3D geological models; A physically-meaningful approach is proposed for adaption of well dynamics that reveal tight oil reservoirs of target objects using synthetic 3D geological and hydrodynamic models. Based on the actual data of development (well operation), formation parameters are determined for each cluster (section) of the target objects of Priobskoye field, which differ in geological features and development indicators; Prediction multivariate numerical calculations were carried out for various well placement systems under various geological conditions (≈ 3 million calculations). A database of calculated development indicators has been formed for each variation of the well placement system; Different options are presented for visualization of calculation results in the form of dimensional templates of optimal development systems for tight oil reservoirs; Various options for sensitivity analysis visualization for the effectiveness assessment are presented of various well placement systems to changes in geological, technological and scenario conditions.

Abstract
We evaluated the performance of a field-wide post-steam in-situ combustion (ISC) project conducted in a complex heavy oil reservoir in China using laboratory one-dimensional combustion experiments, reservoir simulation outputs, and data collected from the field application. The commercial ISC project showed vastly different production performances in different regions of the field and two types of representative well groups were identified. Type I group has a low oil viscosity (&lt;8000 mPa.s) and a high steam-flooded recovery factor (&gt;30%); after ISC treatment, these producers show a high initial water cut, while some experience channeling issues and hence produce a large quantity of flue gas. Type II group has a high oil viscosity (&gt;20000 mPa.s) and a low cyclic steam stimulation (CSS) recovery factor (15-20%); these producers have a high air injection pressure exceeding the fracture pressure. Corresponding remedial methods were designed and applied to these two well groups. Presently, the evaluation methods described in this paper are being applied in the field, and initial results have been acquired.

Published: September 2020

Abstract
The "shale revolution" experience on the example of the Bazhenov formation (BF) development required a serious development program review and implementation.
The modern approach to the Bazhenov formation development in the Russian Federation is approaching the final stage of the existing formation stimulation technologies improvement. The technical limit in completion is about to be reached. It becomes obvious that existing stimulation technologies do not allow creating more efficient "reservoir factories" in the Bazhenov formation. The paper's objective is an attempt to identify hypotheses and prerequisites, as well as possible prospects for the stimulation technologies development, to justify the use of new alternative systems for hydraulic fracturing (HF) with an assessment of their potential at the BF reservoirs.
