Abstack - Learning Special Teaching Methods (MMK) is one of the factors that determine the success of prospective educators in front of the class, but there needs to be confidence in the learning process. Based on the results of observation by asking questions to students, there are still many prospective educators who are not yet confident in implementing the Educational Field Experience Program (PPLK). The purpose of this study was to determine students' perceptions of self-confidence in implementing the Field Practice of Educational Education in the Building Engineering Education Study Program, Faculty of Engineering, Padang State University. This study is a descriptive study with a total sample population of 73 students. Data collection instruments using a questionnaire with a Likert scale assessment, which consists of 4 answer choices with 37 statements before the validity test and the reliability test, after which there are 29 statements made into research. The results of the study revealed that students' self-confidence in carrying out PPLK was quite sufficient with the results of the Degree of Achievement (DP) of 77.25% in terms of self-confidence, a positive attitude in themselves, and utilizing their strengths.

Perceptions of Workplace, Principal, and Productive Teachers on Students’ Work Readiness in SMK Negeri 5 Surabaya Indonesia
Authors: Subijanto Subijanto 
Published: November 2019

Work readiness of Vocational School (SMK) students will not be formed by itself, but through learning outcomes obtained inside and outside the school in the form of industrial work practices. This is necessary as the practical facilities in Vocational High Schools are inadequate and thus have an impact on the quality of graduates' competencies. One policy of the Directorate of Vocational School is that students are required to take part in the program in the workplace/industry in a certain period of time. This study aims to examine the work readiness of graduates of SMK Negeri 5 Surabaya on the competency of Building Drawing Engineering based on perceptions of the workplace, principals, and productive teachers. Data collection method is conducted through focus group discussion. The results of the study show that graduates of Building Drawing Engineering of that school are ready to work according to their competencies. This study concluded that graduates of Building Drawing Engineering in SMK Negeri 5 Surabaya are ready to work because they are supported by 6 to 9 months internship. Therefore, they have 1) sufficient industrial practice experiences; (2) adequate level of basic competency mastery; and 3) highly potential work adaptation
Existentialism- The Struggle Remains in Mulk Raj Anand’s Major Novels
Authors: Swaminathan Pillai Rajammal , Thiyagarajan Dr. K. 
Published: November 2019

Existentialism is a philosophy that emphasizes individual existence, freedom and choice. It is centered upon the analysis of existence and of the way humans find themselves existing in the world. The perception is that, humans exist first and then each individual spends a lifetime changing their essence or nature. Existentialism is a philosophy concerned with finding self and the meaning of life through free will, choice, and personal responsibility. Existentialism is a quest for authentic existence. Jean-Paul Sartre says, ‘Man is nothing else but what he makes of himself. Such is the first principle of existentialism.’ Man’s sufferings and humiliations comes under the aspect of existentialism, which is found in the novels of Anand. Anand is a humanist and his humanism manifests itself in a realistic representation of the inhumanity of the situation of the oppressed masses, suffering, various types of disability, discrimination and alienation. Existentialism is an aspect of humanism and Anand has portrayed it through human beings pathetic sufferings and miseries. Anand’s humanism dwells into the survival of human love through existentialism. The humanism of Anand showcases the concerns of existentialism, exposing the reality of life and its tragic condition of suffering and misery. The pathetic condition of suffering and misery is existential since it has the elements of chance, absurdity and nothingness in them. Their alienated conditions are shaped by fear and loneliness. Though Anand denies of being an existentialist, his most of the works reveal existential ideologies of Sartre and Heidegger.

Background
The Cilento region of southern Italy has a high prevalence of nonagenarians and centenarians. Few studies of the oldest old have included echocardiographic and/or electrocardiographic data, in a home-based setting.

Objectives
The objective of this pilot study was to delineate the key lifestyle, medical, echocardiographic, and electrocardiographic features of a sample of nonagenarians and centenarians and their younger cohabitants from Cilento, via a comprehensive, home-based cardiovascular assessment. The ultimate aim is to identify the cardiovascular profile and lifestyle factors associated with longevity.

Methods
Twenty-six nonagenarians and centenarians (mean age 94 ± 3 years) and 48 younger cohabitants aged 50–75 years (mean 62 ± 5) underwent a comprehensive cardiovascular evaluation in their homes.

Results
In contrast to their younger cohabitants, nonagenarians and centenarians did not smoke, had lower fasting glucose levels, and lower LDL cholesterol despite being half as likely to be taking statins, and showing similar adherence to a Mediterranean diet. Over half of nonagenarians and centenarians (15/26) remained autonomous with their activities of daily living. Prevalence of self-reported coronary artery disease and stroke among nonagenarians and centenarians was low (11.5%), though a significant number had atrial fibrillation (31%) or congestive heart failure (27%). Although 62% of nonagenarians and centenarians had at least moderate valvular disease on echocardiography, less than 25% of those affected reported dyspnea.

Conclusion
Nonagenarians and centenarians in the Cilento region had a healthy metabolic profile and a low prevalence of clinical cardiovascular disease. Even among nonagenarians and centenarians with structural heart abnormalities, report of symptoms is low. Larger studies in the Cilento population may help elucidate the mechanisms underlying cardiovascular health in the oldest old.
Bad Company: The Corporate Appropriation of Nature, Divinity, and Personhood in U.S. Culture
Authors: Hardack Richard 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
In this article, I provide a cultural history of some of the critical predicates of corporate personhood. I track the Hobbesian lineage of the corporate form, but also the ways the corporation, ascribed with numinous agency and personhood, has filled the cultural space vacated by our transcendence of anthropomorphic notions of god and Nature.
The corporation was created through the consent of the sovereign, and its charter was formulated to reflect not only its uses, but its potential threat, particularly with regard to its concentration of power. Established under the aegis of individual states, the U.S. corporation was initially restricted to specific functions for limited periods. But corporations in many contexts not only have supplanted the Hobbesian state that created them, but displaced the individual person.
Corporations have become super-persons and forms of sovereigns themselves, in part by acquiring human rights and “personalities” and tethering them to the corporation’s inhuman attributes. However, corporations don’t just mimic human behaviors; at best simulacra, or imitations of human life, corporations challenge and destabilize the status of personhood, and what it means to be a person.
In the process, corporations have amassed not just wealth, but personhood (for example, in perhaps surprising ways, the personhood of African Americans). In many ways, the ever-increasing wealth gap in the United States is actually a personhood gap. The overarching effect of corporate personhood, which operates in tandem with privatization, is to dehumanize people, turning them into things that have no rights. Created to encourage entrepreneurial (or reckless and socially irresponsible) risk-taking and minimize personal liability, the corporation evolved into an entity that dynamically diminishes the personal.
The corporation represents a collective, transcendental body that has taken on the role of a deity, and, in U.S. ontology, of nature. The relationships between human and corporate personhood and identity implicate fantasies of the supernal; the superhuman; immortality; and the transcendence of individuality. For these reasons, I treat the corporation not primarily as a commercial enterprise, but as a cultural phantasm, a kind of black hole that draws in more and more cultural phenomena into its orbit. The modern corporation has come to guarantee certain rights at a price, in much the way the Hobbesian state once did. People barter their attributes to corporations; but they are no longer trading liberty for security, but “souls” for identity. As the corporation comes to serve as the de facto guarantor and distributor of culture, it remains amoral at best, and in practice serves as a dominant pathological personality that helps reduce all human endeavor to commercial interest.
The Use of High Dose Eltrombopag in the Management of Sepsis-Associated Thrombocytopenia in Critically Ill Patients
Authors: Hasan Md. Jahidul , Rabbani Raihan , Huq Shihan Mahmud Redwanul 
Published: November 2019

Abstract

Introduction
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition, and sepsis-associated thrombocytopenia (SAT) is a common consequence of the disease where platelet count falls drastically within a very short time. Multiple key factors may cause platelet over-activation, destruction and reduction in platelet production during the sepsis. Eltrombopag is a thrombopoietin receptor agonist and is the second-line drug of choice in the treatment of chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP).

Aim of the study
The objective of this study was to observe the therapeutic outcome of high dose eltrombopag in SAT management in critically ill patients.

Material and Methods
This 6-month-long single group, observational study was conducted on seventeen ICU patients with SAT. Eltrombopag 100 mg/day in two divided doses was given to each patient. Platelet counts were monitored. A low platelet blood count returning to 150 K/μL or above, is taken as indicative of a successful reversal of a thrombocytopenia event.

Results
The mean Apache II score of patients (n= 17) was 18.71 (p-value: >0.05). No eltrombopag-induced adverse event was observed among the patients during the study period. Thrombocytopenia events were reversed successfully in 64.71% of patients (11; n= 17) within eight days of eltrombopag therapy.

Conclusions
The therapeutic potentiality of high dose eltrombopag regime in the management of sepsis-associated thrombocytopenia was found clinically significant in over two-thirds of critically ill adult patients enrolled in the study. These data may point to a new strategy in the management of acute type of thrombocytopenia in septic patients.
Diagnostic Difficulties in a Severely Ill HIV Patient with Multiple Superinfections - A Case Report
Authors: Mănășturean Cristina , Oprea Cristiana , Oțelea Dan , Georgescu Anca Meda 
Published: November 2019

Abstract

Introduction
As chronic HIV infection is prone to co-infections more than any other infectious condition, many severely immune-depressed patients require advanced diagnostic investigations and complex treatment.

Case report
The case of a 30-year-old severely immune-depressed patient with AIDS, who developed neurological impairment and was diagnosed with encephalitis is presented. Multiple diagnostic approaches had to be used in order to identify the etiologic agents responsible for the clinical, immunological and biological evolution. Despite using advanced laboratory investigations and complex treatment, the patient developed multiple organ dysfunction syndromes that led to a fatal outcome.

Conclusions
Establishing etiologic relations and treatment priorities in patients with severe immunodeficiency and co-infections can prove difficult, underlining the need of rapid syndromic testing.
Setup of axial bearing capacity of open ended tubular steel piles driven in sand
Authors: Ahlinhan Marx Ferdinand , Adjovi Edmond Codjo 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
This paper focuses on the setup of axial bearing capacity of open ended tubular steel piles that are used for offshore foundation systems such as those of wind turbines. A comparative evaluation of the most commonly used models for setup prediction shows an upper estimate bound and a lower estimate bound, which correspond approximately to a setup rate of 60% increase per log cycle of time and 20% increase per log cycle of time, respectively. This finding is validated with the results of case histories reported in literature, which show that the setup values of most case histories considered lie in the best estimate zone between the upper estimate zone and the lower estimate zone. The analysis results show a minimum setup factor of approximately 1.5 for 100 days following end of driving of open-ended tubular steel pile driven in sand.
Selbsterlösung durch Erkenntnis - Die Gnosis im 2. Jahrhundert n. Chr.
Authors: von Ostheim Martin 
Published: November 2019

Die Gnosis als Weg zur Erkenntnis Wer möchte nicht nach Erkenntnis streben? Gnostikerinnen und Gnostiker finden sie in ihrer Religion. Die Gnosis eröffnet ihnen eine neue, geistige Welt. Sie können die Welt des Materiellen verlassen und sich selber in die Welt der Äonen erlösen. Die Gnosis ist eine Religion unbekannten Ursprungs, die sich im zweiten Jahrhundert n.Chr. im gesamten Mittelmeerraum verbreitet hat. Das griechische Wort gnôsis bedeutet Erkenntnis – und das ist auch das Ziel der Gnosis und ihrer Vertreter. Gnostikerinnen und Gnostiker versuchen, durch Studium der gnostischen Schriften und gnostischen Kult, in Form einer persönlichen Erkenntnis Antworten auf die großen Fragen der Menschheit zu erlangen. Die Erkenntnis, woher wir kommen und wohin wir gehen, was der Urgrund unseres Seins ist, ist für Gnostiker eine Befreiung aus der diesseitigen, materiellen Welt und führt zur Selbsterlösung in eine neue, geistige Welt. Doch Gnostikerinnen und Gnostiker können am Pléroma, der Welt der Äonen, bereits hier vorweg Anteil nehmen. Ein Erlöser wird nicht benötigt. Christliche Kirchenväter haben gnostische Schulen vehement bekämpft. Diese waren eine Bedrohung für das junge Christentum. Gnostiker haben ihre Lehren aus dem Christentum und verschiedenen philosophischen Strömungen zusammengetragen. Den meisten gemeinsam ist die Annahme eines höchsten, vollkommenen Gottes und eines unvollkommenen Schöpfergottes, Demiurg genannt, der die materielle Welt und die Menschen erschaffen hat. Manchmal wird der Demiurg mit dem Gott des Alten Testaments identifiziert. Alle Menschen tragen in sich einen göttlichen Funken des höchsten Gottes. Diesen gilt es zu entdecken und sich aus dem negativ gedeuteten Materiellen in die geistige Welt zu retten – in den Texten wird dies oft bildhaft mit Licht und Dunkelheit oder Nebel und klarer Sicht umschrieben. Martin von Ostheim stellt in diesem Buch die Gnosis von Valentinus und seinem Schüler Ptolemaios vor. Aus dem Inhalt: Die gnostischen Äonen Der Fall der Weisheit und die Entstehung der Materie Die Kosmogonie und die Lehre der drei Welten Der Mensch als dreiteiliges Wesen: Erkenne dich selbst! Das Leben nach dem Tod und die gnostische Erlösung
EWB-USA and EPICS: Academic Credit, Community Impact, and Student Learning
Authors: Oakes William 
Published: November 2019

EWB-USA engages thousands of students nationally on community-driven projects almost exclusively as an extra-curricular activity. This paper documents how one EWB-USA chapter used the EPICS framework to merge the club into a credit-bearing program that leverages the infrastructure of the university and recognizes the faculty work within their respective teaching loads. The approach preserves student leadership and ownership while enhancing student learning and accountability. Student reflections were analyzed and showed evidence of learning of design as well as broader professional skills including communication, teamwork and project management. Critical and reflective thinking is evident in the class artifacts. Deeper learning including evidence of an awareness of ethnocentrism and positionality and bias were documented in the analysis of the student reflections.

To Flex or Not to Flex? Is There a Relationship Between Lumbar Spine Flexion During Lifting and Low Back Pain? A Systematic Review With Meta-analysis
Authors: Saraceni Nic , Kent Peter , Ng Leo , Campbell Amity , Straker Leon , O'Sullivan Peter 
Published: November 2019

Objective To evaluate whether lumbar spine flexion during lifting is a risk factor for low back pain (LBP) onset/persistence or a differentiator of people with and without LBP. Design Etiology systematic review with meta-analysis. Literature Search Database search of ProQuest, CINAHL, MEDLINE, and Embase up to August 21, 2018. Study Selection Criteria We included peer-reviewed articles that investigated whether lumbar spine position during lifting was a risk factor for LBP onset or persistence or a differentiator of people with and without LBP. Data Synthesis Lifting-task comparison data were tabulated and summarized. The meta-analysis calculated an n-weighted pooled mean ± SD of the results in the LBP and no-LBP groups. If a study contained multiple comparisons (ie, different lifting tasks that used various weights or directions), then only 1 result from that study was included in the meta-analysis. Results Four studies (1 longitudinal study and 3 cross-sectional studies across 5 articles) included in meta-analysis measured lumbar flexion with intralumbar angles and found no difference in peak lumbar spine flexion when lifting (1.5°; 95% confidence interval [CI]: −0.7°, 3.7°; P = .19 for the longitudinal study and −0.9°; 95% CI: −2.5°, 0.7°; P = .29 for the cross-sectional studies). Seven cross-sectional studies measured lumbar flexion with thoracopelvic angles and found that people with LBP lifted with 6.0° less lumbar flexion than people without LBP (95% CI: −11.2°, −0.9°; P = .02). Most (9/11) studies reported no significant between-group differences in lumbar flexion during lifting. The included studies were of low quality. Conclusion There was low-quality evidence that greater lumbar spine flexion during lifting was not a risk factor for LBP onset/persistence or a differentiator of people with and without LBP.
