Authors: Adeleke Adedolapo , Llahana Sofia 
Published: December 2020

Background/aims Self-management in patients with coronary heart disease is essential to the prevention of cardiac complications and the minimisation of morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to explore the knowledge and perceptions of student nurses on promotion of self-management and lifestyle changes in patients with coronary heart disease. Methods A qualitative methodology was adopted using semi-structured face-to-face interviews with undergraduate nursing students in their third and fourth year of studies. Through purposive sampling, eight participants were recruited from a higher education institute in Scotland. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed by thematic analysis. Results Three themes emerged: self-management, barriers to effective self-management and health promotion. The perceived barriers included lack of effective communication, patients' perception of their illness and lack of time and identified motivators to good delivery of health promotion. Conclusions Pre-registration healthcare students may benefit from more education on patient self-management from a theoretical and practical perspective. Post-registration education might also be useful to nurses to increase their knowledge and confidence in the delivery of health promotion to patients.
Understanding skin infections in older adults
Authors: Palmer Sarah Jane 
Published: December 2020

Skin infections and soft-tissue conditions are known to be common in older adults. Sarah Jane Palmer covers the basic principles of assessment, investigation and treatment Skin infections are extremely common throughout the community in older people. Cellulitis and infected ulcers are the most common cutaneous skin infections in older adults, but various other aetiologies can be identified by community nurses and healthcare staff throughout their area's patient population. Staphylococcus aureus is common and increases morbidity so prompt identification is required. Assessment of the skin and appropriate swabbing is necessary and crucial in order to be proficient when looking after people with skin conditions and infections in the community. This article will cover the basic principles of assessment, investigation and treatment, as well as encouraging an awareness of risk, touching on the common predictors of skin infections in older people

Introduction
Isoniazid preventive therapy (IPT) taken by People Living with HIV (PLHIV) protects against active tuberculosis (TB). Despite its recommendation, data is scarce on the uptake of IPT among PLHIV and factors associated with treatment outcomes. We aimed at determining the proportion of PLHIV initiated on IPT, assessed TB screening practices during and after IPT and IPT treatment outcomes.

Methods
A retrospective cohort study of a representative sample of PLHIV initiated on IPT between July 2015 and June 2018 in Kenya. For PLHIV initiated on IPT during the study period, we abstracted patient IPT uptake data from the National data warehouse. In contrast, we obtained information on socio-demographic, TB screening practices, IPT initiation, follow up, and outcomes from health facilities' patient record cards, IPT cards, and IPT registers. Further, we assessed baseline characteristics as potential correlates of developing active TB during and after treatment and IPT completion using multivariable logistic regression.

Results
From the data warehouse, 138,442 PLHIV were enrolled into ART during the study period and initiated 95,431 (68.9%) into IPT. We abstracted 4708 patients’ files initiated on IPT, out of which 3891(82.6%) had IPT treatment outcomes documented, 4356(92.5%) had ever screened for TB at every clinic visit, and 4,243(90.1%) had documentation of TB screening on the IPT tool before IPT initiation. 3712(95.4%) of patients with documented IPT treatment outcomes completed their treatment. 42(0.89%) of the abstracted patients developed active TB,16(38.1%) during, and 26(61.9%) after completing IPT. Follow up for active TB at 6-month post-IPT completion was done for 2729(73.5%) of patients with IPT treatment outcomes. Sex, Viral load suppression, and clinic type were associated with TB development (p<0.05). Levels 4, 5, FBO, and private facilities and IPT prescription practices were associated with IPT completion (p<0.05).

Conclusion
IPT initiation stands at two-thirds of the PLHIV, with a high completion rate. TB screening practices were better during IPT than after completion. Development of active TB during and after IPT emphasizes the need for a keen follow up.

Published: December 2020

A Educação Interprofissional (EIP) é tida como uma importante estratégia para formar recursos humanos para o trabalho em equipe, prática essencial para a integralidade no cuidado em saúde. Atualmente a formação com intensa carga horária, isolada e circunscrita à própria área de atuação tem levado os profissionais de saúde a atuarem de forma pontual e restrita à suas especialidades. Diversos autores destacam que a EIP contribui para uma formação fundamentada na colaboração e no reconhecimento de interdependência das áreas predominam sobre a competição e a fragmentação. Este trabalho apresenta o relato da experiência de criação de uma disciplina multidisciplinar e interprofissional para os cursos de saúde da UFPB. A proposta nasce na Oficina: Construindo a Educação Interprofissional nos Cursos de Saúde que contou com a participação de professores, estudantes e preceptores, promovendo um espaço para relatos de experiências exitosas com a EIP, além de reflexões sobre o processo de formação em saúde da UFPB. Como resultado da oficina foi estruturado um componente flexível, com o envolvimento de professores dos cursos envolvidos no PETGRADUASUS. Foram realizadas reuniões para construção do programa e metodologia, na perspectiva da integralidade do cuidado, integração entre os participantes e está fundamentada no cuidado interdisciplinar, na integralidade e no uso de metodologias ativas. O componente busca desenvolver competências comuns a todas as profissões, competências colaborativas e o respeito as competências específicas de cada área profissional. Foram realizadas reuniões com trabalhadores e residentes objetivando a identificação de casos e vivencias a serem utilizados na prática de ensino da disciplina. O componente tem carga horária de 45 horas, conta com o envolvimento de 6 professores da área de saúde pública, está estruturado com momentos de integração e dispersão. A dispersão ocorrerá em grupos multiprofissionais com a orientação de um docente e inserção nas vivencias da rede SUS.

Authors: Kondrashkin P , Baiguzhina O , Shibkova D 
Published: December 2020

Aim. The paper aims to evaluate pressure-pain-threshold (PPT) in the paravertebral areas of the back (lumbar, thoracic, cervical levels) in relatively healthy individuals in various functional states. Materials and methods. The study involved volunteer female students (n = 150). Heart rate measurement and tonometry were performed using the B.WELL PRO-33 automatic tonometer. The level of functional readiness for physical exercises was assessed by the method of Kolmogorov et al. (2007). In group I (n = 45), PPT measurements were carried out at rest in the laboratory room. In group II (n = 105), PPT data were obtained before physical activity. Women of both groups were divided into subgroups by the absence (1) or presence (2) of complaints of back pain. PPT measurements were carried out using the Wagner FPX pressure algometer (USA). Standard statistical methods were used for data analysis. Results. A significant effect of the functional state on PPT values was found. In group II, against the background of readiness for physical activity, the mean values of PPT in the paravertebral areas were 20–40 % higher than in group I. The PPT values were the highest in the area of the lumbar spine. Conclusion. Changes in the dynamic stereotype (from a state of rest to readiness for physical activity) lead to an increase in the absolute values of PPT up to 40 %. This phenomenon indicates that the emotional component of physical exercises has an analgesic effect.

Published: December 2020

Aim. The paper aims to identify the most effective direction in fitness aerobics for the best physical training of middle aged females. Materials and methods. A pedagogical experiment was conducted in March 2018 – November 2018. The experiment was held on the premises of the World of fitness sports club (Togliatti). Ninety (n = 90) females aged from 35 to 50 years participated in the experiment. All females were divided into three groups depending on their fitness discipline (Pilates (EG-1), strip dance (EG-2), step aerobics (EG-3)). To compare the programs, a set of indicators was used that characterize the morphofunctional and somatometric changes in the subjects, as well as the dynamics of physical qualities. Statistical data processing was performed using the Microsoft Office and Statistica for Windows v.6.0 software package. The collected data were described using sample size (n), arithmetic mean (x ~), and standard deviation (SD). Results. The recovery time (according to the functional test) in EG-3 decreased by an average of 0.8, in EG-2 – by 0.5, in EG-1 – by 0.4. Orthostatic test showed that the difference in horizontal and vertical positions reduced and did not exceed 10 bpm. Rate of recovery in step-test in EG-3 decreased by an average of 3.3 s, in EG-2 – by 2.8 s; in EG-1 – by 2.1 s. The strength of the abdominal muscles increased on average by 7 times (69.2 %); muscle strength of the shoulder girdle improved by 8.4 times (40.8 %); strength of the thigh muscles increased on average by 20.2 times (44.5 %); vertebral column mobility improved by an average of 7.2 cm (66.6 %); in EG – 1, coordination abilities improved by 6.3 s (73.9 %), in EG-2 – by 7.4 s (71.3 %), in EG-3 – by 9 s (69.2 %). Indicators of body proportionality after the experiment showed that there was a decrease in the hips by 8.3 ± 1.20 cm; waist circumference reduced by 5.1 ± 1.22 cm; breast circumference reduced by 1.8 ± 0.38 cm. Conclusion. The results obtained prove the greatest efficiency of step aerobics classes compared to other fitness disciplines, which is expressed in a significant improvement of the cardiovascular, respiratory, coordination systems and somatic indicators, as well as in an increase in physical fitness in middle-aged females.

Polyclonal Antibodi-Gold Nanoparticles for Potato Virus Y Detection
Gold nanoparticles are stable colloidal solutions with dimensions of 1-100 nm having surface plasmon resonance with six free electrons. The existing of six free electrons on the surface of a plasmon causes gold nanoparticles to bind easily to various types of bioreseptors including polyclonal antibodies. Polyclonal potato virus Y (PVP) antibodi been successfully conjugate with gold nanoparticles in order to develop a rapid detection for PVY infection in potato plants. The gold nanoparticles was synthetized by the reduction of gold (III) chloride trihydrate (HAuCl4) with 1% sodium citrate. Subsequently, the nanoparticles were used to make gold nanoparticle-antiobody PVY-conjugate. PVY detection was carried out with dot blot method on the nitrocellulose membrane. The results showed that the PVY virus on the membrane can be detected 10-30 minutes after incubation, depend on the concentration of the conjugate and the concentration of the virus in the sampel. The use of gold nanoparticle conjugates can increase the efficiency of the immunodot blot method in about 1 hour, and this method can be developed to be a lateral flow system for field detection of PVY.

Published: December 2020

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> The major aggregate of mucosa associated lymphoid tissue located in the nasopharynx is the adenoid. The minor aggregate located in the nasopharynx is the Gerlach tonsils or tubal tonsils. The Gerlach tonsils are well described in the text books. But unlike the adenoids they are rarely visualized during routine endoscopic examination. Several studies conducted in children for recurrence of adenoids or serous otitis media after surgery; have reported tubal tonsil hypertrophy widely. This study in adults aims to see the prevalence of Gerlach or tubal tonsils visible during nasal endoscopy.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> The case records of 155 adult patients, aged between 18-50 years, who underwent pre-operative diagnostic nasal endoscopy for the management of septal deviations, chronic Sinusitis, nasal polyposis or eustachian dysfunction between Jan. 2019 to March 2020 are retrospectively reviewed and the endoscopy findings analyzed and presented. </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Gerlach tonsil hypertrophy is reported to be more prevalent in children than in adults.

PANDEMIA VIRAL E PANDEMIA ECONÔMICA
Authors: Fenzl Norbert 
Published: December 2020

O artigo trata de uma análise sobre o contexto sócio-econômico e político da pandemia Covid-19, fundamentado no delírio neoliberal globalizado, que destrói a resiliencia dos países no enfrentamento de epidemias ou pandemias como aquela que estamos enfrentando agora. O desmantelamento da saúde publica, desemprego, desnutrição e fome não somente enfraquecem o sistema imunológico do individuo, mas também o que podemos chamar de sistema imunológico da nação. Portanto, não adianta tratar a pandemia como uma simples questão de saúde publico e esperar a vacina como o salvador da pátria. Sem abordagem sistêmica, percebendo a verdadeira complexidade do assunto que é muito mais abrangente da questão virológica, não sermos capazes de tirar nenhuma lição sustentável desta pandemia.

Published: December 2020

O momento que estamos vivendo, de pandemia da COVID-19, exige que sejam tomadas medidas de contenção da propagação do novo coronavírus (Sars-Cov-2) na população. Desde o início da pandemia, o distanciamento social tem sido a principal orientação da Organização Mundial da Saúde para combater a disseminação do coronavírus. Tais condições ressaltam a necessidade de ferramentas para o atendimento e suporte remoto de crianças com desenvolvimento atípico, como aquelas com Transtorno do Espectro Autista. Ferramentas como essas têm se mostrado efetivas e têm suma importância no contexto brasileiro, tendo em vista o reduzido número de profissionais capacitados e o alto custo nas intervenções. Portanto, o presente artigo visou apresentar uma ferramenta (canal no YouTube com a publicação periódica de vídeos instrucionais e didáticos sobre diferentes habilidades) para auxiliar profissionais (psicólogos, pedagogos, fonoaudiólogos, terapeutas ocupacionais etc.) na orientação ou treinamento de cuidadores para intervirem com crianças nas circunstâncias atuais, buscando assim reduzir prejuízos a médio e a longo prazo por uma possível inviabilidade de atendimento presencial para esse público.Palavras-chave: atendimento remoto, canal, intervenção via cuidador, Transtorno do Espectro Autista, telessaúde.
The influence of the sex of the teaching staff on the perception of inclusion
Authors: Garcia Marta Medina , Higueras-Rodriguez Maria Lina 
Published: December 2020

The greatest challenge facing education systems today is ensuring educational inclusion. This means treating all students in terms of fairness and justice. The research problem that we ask ourselves is the following: Are there differences in the perception of inclusion according to the sex of the teaching staff? The sample comprises 133 teachers from the Spanish field of secondary and primary education. The methodology used is bivariate analysis through independent sample tests and association using chi-square. The results show that sex is not a decisive variable when determining the degree of inclusion. However, there are some significant differences in relation to diversity strategies and information on inclusion, mainly. Women have a higher degree of inclusion. Therefore, educational centres and inclusion policies must achieve greater awareness in the case of the male sex.

Keywords: Education, inclusion, sex, teachers.

Published: December 2020

In the last decade, applications of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies have rapidly increased. Although they are used especially in the game industry, their importance in education has also becoming more evident. As there are not enough academic researches on this field, we aimed to examine the role of VR and AR technologies in education. During the study, the implementation of VR and AR applications in education was analysed as well as impact factors, barriers and levels of knowledge transfer were investigated. We propose an approach to address the various identified issues. This study aims to contribute to the field with the comparison of the results, followed by analyses and recommendations for future work.

An integrated approach to assessing students’ emotional stability under the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Inna Arshava , Nosenko Eleonora , Kutovyy Kostiantyn , Arshava Inna 
Published: December 2020

In contemporary unpredictably threatening environmental conditions, many students, like individuals of other walks of life who realise the potential danger of corona virus disease for their health and even life, are likely to experience higher than usual levels of emotional stress and consequent behavioural changes, like proneness to self-handicapping, escapism, giving preference to avoidance-type of coping strategies etc. This article presents the description and the expediency of using, for the monitoring of the emotional states of the students, a computer-assisted technique for assessing the mode of information processing preferred by the individual in the stressful conditions. The unified holistic-synthetic mode is found to be pertinent to emotionally stable individuals and consecutive analytical ones compared to the emotional vulnerable ones. The technique can be used for monitoring the emotional states of students and accounting for them in the process of teaching.

A research on positive teacher behaviours
Authors: Alkan Fatma 
Published: December 2020

The aim of this study is to examine positive teacher behaviours that teachers should show in the class in terms of students. The research has been designed within a general survey model. The sample of the research consists of 641 high school students. In the research, the effects of positive teacher behaviours on students’ success questionnaire have been used as the data collection tool. According to the results of the analysis, teachers carry out planning, application and consolidation and evaluation behaviours in the classroom at a high rate. In the questionnaire, the highest average is in the planning behaviour, which explains the objectives of the course to students’ item. On the other hand, it is noteworthy that the lowest average is in the application behaviour, which arranges the seating arrangement in a way that makes it easier for students to learn. The results of the research expected that the positive behaviours that teachers carry out in the classroom at a high rate will have a high or very high-level effect on students’ success.

Keywords: Positive teacher behaviours, students’ success, high school students.
