Authors: Daflora Reginaldis , Jaya Redy Petrus 
Published: December 2019

Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif. Pemilihan metode ini didasarkan pada pertimbangan terkait tujuan penelitian ini yakni mendeskripsikan pemahaman orang tua akan bentuk-bentuk keterlibatannya dalam PAUD. Subjek penelitian ini terdiri atas para orang tua, yang terkategori atas dua kelompok, yakni orang tua yang memasukkan anaknya ke PAUD dan orang tua yang tidak memasukkan anaknya ke PAUD. Jumlah responden 26 orang. Lokus penelitiannya adalah kelurahan Tenda, Nekang dan Waso Kecamatan Langke Rembong Kabupaten Manggarai. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan wawancara dan angket. Peneliti melakukan analisis data menggunakan teknik Model Miles dan Huberman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa orang tua memiliki pemahaman yang baik terkait keterlibatanya dalam pendidikan anak usia dini. Bagi orang tua, pengembangan potensi diri anak sejak dini perlu dilakukan baik oleh orang tua sendiri maupun melalui kerjasama antara orang tua dengan TK/PAUD. Hal yang menarik dari hasil penelitian ini bahwa pemahaman orang tua akan keterlibatannya dalam pendidikan anak tidak dipengaruhi oleh tingkat pendidikan maupun pekerjaan melainkan oleh berbagai jenis pendidikan/sosialisasi bagi orang tua seperti sosialisasi terkait pentingnya pendidikan anak, pengarahan tentang perkembangan anak, pengetahuan tentang pola asuh dan perlakuan yang tepat kepada anak, sosialisasi terkait kesehatan anak, dan terkait pertumbuhan dan perkembangan anak.

Published: December 2019

In order to accurately evaluate new concepts and protocols for mobile communication networks, realistic mobility models are needed. Furthermore, for use cases which have a bidirectional dependency between communication and mobility, changes in communication lead to changes in mobility and vice versa, thus requiring an online coupling between models. Therefore, bidirectional coupling to incorporate realistic mobility patterns is state of the art in the analysis of Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET) applications.However, the same need exist for use cases where the mobile users are pedestrians rather than vehicles. Therefore, this paper introduces our current, on-going work on connecting OMNeT++ and Vadere, an open source simulation framework for microscopic pedestrian dynamics, to benefit from state of the art pedestrian mobility models in mobile communication use cases. The presented coupling is based on the existing Traffic Control Interface (TraCI) protocol used in the Veins (Vehicles in Network Simulation) framework to connect OMNeT++ with SUMO.
What’s being tested and what’s being learnt? A contribution to lessons learned evaluation methods for community-based sustainability initiatives.
Authors: Mitchell Andrew , Lemon Mark , Fletcher Gavin 
Published: December 2019

Aim:There is little good practice guidance with respect to methods and skills for conducting lessons learned evaluations of community-based development projects. In this paper we utilise a mixed methods approach to evaluate the lessons learned by the team members and stakeholders of a funded five year ‘test-and-learn’ sustainability initiative. The approach combines a statistical and a qualitative thematic analysis of transcribed textual data and presents an analytic framework with which to track the lessons learned by community development projects. Design/ Research methods:A mixed methods approach combining text and sentiment mining complemented by a qualitative thematic analysis is applied to the same data collected from stakeholder responses to an on-line survey and the transcribed audio recordings of four focus groups in which stakeholders participated. Conclusions/ findings:Employing replicable tools, augmented by qualitative research methods, provide a framework for a systematic approach to elicit and capture lessons learned by a sustainable community development project. These bear on how project activities, from engagement to supporting the local food economy, have been experienced by stakeholders and their learning acquired over the course of the project. Implications for future project design and funding options are considered. Originality/ value of the article:Despite the evident value of its contribution to improving project design and funding options, the evaluation of lessons learned in community-based sustainability work remains under-researched. The combined use of text and sentiment mining techniques with qualitative thematic analysis on the same data offers an original contribution to research in this field.
The Seven Sustainability Competences according to the RESFIA+D Model
Authors: Roorda Niko 
Published: December 2019

Aim:The article describes the origins, structure and applications of a model for professional competences for sustainable development, called RESFIA+D. The model provides an assessment and policy instrument that can easily be applied practically.Companies, NGO’s and other organizations may apply RESFIA+D as a structured tool for human resource development (HRD). Institutions for higher and vocational education can use the instrument for education (re)development, where curricula and didactic approaches are derived from a systematically designed competence profile in which sustainable development is integrated. Finally, individual professionals may use RESFIA+D as a tool for professional development. Design / Research methods:The article defines the concepts of ‘competence’ and ‘competent professionals’, in an easily understandable style. Next, the structure of the RESFIA+D model is described. Scientific details, such as origins and validation, are described elsewhere; references are made to other sources.The basic set of RESFIA+D competences is combined with a structure of seven competence levels, which allows users to express the assessment results on an ordinal scale. This scale enables users to design plans for systematic improvements, both at a strategic and an operational level. Conclusions / findings:As illustrated in the article, RESFIA+D was applied successfully within companies, universities, and by individual professionals. Originality, value of the article:The article focuses in a unique way on the roles towards sustainability of individual professionals, whereas most or all usual assessment models focus on the roles of either entire organizations, or of individual persons seen as civilians or customers.

Cardiorespiratory Fitness Relative to Lean Body Mass in HIV+ and HIV− Women
Authors: Ramírez-Marrero Farah A. , Wojna Valerie , Santana-Bagur Jorge , Frontera Walter R. 
Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT
Background: Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) influences mortality from chronic diseases and is commonly expressed relative to body weight. However, CRF relative to lean body mass (LBM) is more informative because of its energy demand; this is relevant in chronic diseases such as HIV infection. The primary aims of this study were to compare CRF (1) in absolute terms, (2) relative to body weight, and (3) relative to LBM in HIV positive (HIV+) and HIV negative (HIV−) women; and to determine the percent variance explained by body weight vs. LBM.
Methods: Measures of total mass, LBM, and fat were conducted with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA); and body weight, and fat also with bio-impedance analysis (BIA) in 32 HIV+ and 15 HIV− Hispanic women. CRF was measured on a cycle ergometer using 25W increments until volitional fatigue. Independent t tests were conducted to detect between group differences, and linear regressions to determine the percent variance in CRF explained by body weight and LBM.
Results: No between group differences were observed for age (45.1 ± 10.4 vs. 41.1 ± 14.2 y), BMI (28.8 ± 5.9 vs. 28.0 ± 6.3 kg·m−2), BIA fat (43.0% ± 8.6% vs. 44.1% ± 6.7%), DEXA fat (41.1% ± 7.2% vs. 43.3% ± 4.8%), LBM (41.6 ± 5.7 vs. 39.6 ± 6.7 kg), absolute CRF (1.40 ± 0.34 vs. 1.53 ± 0.34 L·min−1), or CRF relative to body weight (19.3 ± 3.6 vs. 21.4 ± 4.2 mL·kg−1·min−1). A lower CRF relative to LBM was observed among HIV+ compared with HIV− women (33.4 ± 5.3 vs. 38.6 ± 6.3 mL·kg−1·min−1, P = 0.006). Body weight and LBM explained 38% and 50% of the variance in CRF in men and women, respectively.
Conclusion: These results suggest that LBM might be considered for CRF comparison between various population groups, particularly HIV+ women.
Exercise Recommendations for Cardiac Patients with Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain
Authors: Ronai Peter 
Published: December 2019

ABSTRACTMusculoskeletal comorbidities (MSKCs) are the most frequent cause of activity limitations in persons with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and affect as many as 70% of this population. It has been observed that over 50% of new outpatient cardiac rehabilitation participants experience some musculoskeletal pain, with back pain reported by up to 38% of cardiac rehabilitation patients. Back pain can limit performance of activities of daily living (ADLs) and reduce exercise tolerance and compliance during outpatient cardiac rehabilitation (CR). This article will describe ways to facilitate CR exercise participation in patients who have comorbid, chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNSLBP) and have been medically cleared to exercise.

Published: December 2019

Introduction: Nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) is the standard of care for clinical T1 (cT1), renal mass less than 7 cm, whenever intervention is indicated. It has ontological outcome equivalent to radical nephrectomy in small renal masses and it also minimizes the progression to chronic kidney disease. However, there is paucity of data on outcomes of NSS in Nepalese population.
Methods: A six years retrospective review of medical records of patients undergoing partial nephrectomy from Jan 2012 to Dec 2017 in Department of Urology and Kidney Transplant Surgery at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital was done to determine its demographics and outcomes.
Results: Twenty eight patients underwent nephron sparing surgery for clinical T1 renal masses in the past six years. Complications occurred in three cases. Five of the lesions were benign and 23 malignant on final histology. Clear cell carcinoma was the commonest variant of renal cell cancer. Margin was positive in two cases and both were kept in close surveillance. There was no local recurrence and renal impairment during five to 60 months follow up.
Conclusion: Nephron sparing surgery is a safe procedure with good oncological outcome for clinical T1 renal mass. It prevents unnecessary nephrectomy in benign lesions as well as chronic renal impairment at the same time.

Published: December 2019

Introduction: Since the beginning of renal transplant, the objective has been to increase the patient and graft survival, both short term and long term. Data relating to donor factors affecting short term survival at 6 months in live donor kidney transplantation has been scarce. This single center study tries to examine the predictors of short term graft outcome at six months in recipients of live donor kidney transplants and explore which donor characteristics are the most useful in predicting the post-transplant graft function in Nepalese population.
Methods: All patients who underwent kidney transplantation between May 2015 to July 2016 were included in the study. The patients who expired during follow were excluded. The clinical and laboratory parameters of the donors we rerecorded. The recipients were followed up for six months post transplantation. The eGFR of the recipients and the occurrence of rejection were recorded at the end of six months post transplantation.
Results: A total of 82 donor-recipient pairs underwent living donor renal transplantation at our hospital during the studyperiod. One recipient who expired during follow up was excluded. The mean age of donor was 45.20 ± 11.226years of which 55 (67.9%) were female and 26 (32.1 %) were male. The mean eGFR of the donor calculated from Cockcroft Gault equation was 81.98 ± 18.11. The eGFR of the recipient at the end of six months post transplantation calculated form the MDRD equation was 67.76 ± 20.94. A total of 7 patients (8.6%) had rejection that were biopsy proven. Only donor eGFR was found to be significantly associated with eGFR of the recipient at six months post transplantation (p=0.034). Body mass index of the donor was significantly associated with rejection in the recipient at six months post transplantation (p=0.011).
Conclusion: Our study demonstrates that the donor eGFR and body mass index are independent and important factors affecting the short term graft outcome at six months post transplantation.
The Influence of the National Political Scene on the Behavior of Local Politicians and Voters in Polish Local Elections in 2018
Authors: Kozierska Joanna 
Published: December 2019

Polish local elections in 2018, many months before their commencement, became one of the main elements of the political discourse. Due to the specificity of the electoral calendar, for the first time since the parliamentary and presidential elections in 2015, voters had to assess the actions taken by the Law and Justice (Prawo i Sprawiedliwość, PiS) in the electoral act. Of course, this could only happen indirectly, precisely through local elections, which due to their specificity, are not able to fully reflect the balance of powers that operates on the national arena. However, also in this way voters could refer to national events. Expressing support for them by voting on PiS, or by showing negations of their actions by voting for groups remaining in opposition. The aim of the paper is to check whether, in the perception of voters, events on the national political arena determine the behavior of two types of participants in local elections: local politicians and voters.
Investigation of the Influence of Proximal Radiation on the Thermal Stresses and Lifetime of Metallic Radiant Tubes in Radiation-Dominated Industrial Furnaces*

Published: December 2019

Abstract
The influence of surrounding (or proximal) radiation on radiant tubes inside a continuous hot-dip galvanizing line was investigated. The furnace chamber, the strip and the neighbouring tubes were considered as the surroundings. A coupled heat transfer model was developed and subsequently validated against experimental measurements. This model was used to calculate the radiation exchange between the tube and its surroundings, and to give the new temperature distribution on the tubes as its output. This result served as an input to an already validated FEM model, which was used to assess the creep behaviour and the corresponding stresses on the tube. Basis of the investigated setups were Alloy 602 p-type tubes operating under burner on/off firing. The results show an increase in creep deformation of the tube when the surroundings were taken into account. Highest creep deformations were observed for setups with a strip, even though these cases showed the lowest maximum tube temperatures. Furthermore, an opposing effect between creep deformation and stresses acting on the tube exists. This is supported by the fact that no definite pattern relating the creep and stresses of a tube was found. Local tube temperature gradients and transient cyclic loading due to burner on/off firing were observed to have a significant influence on the tube's service life.
Impact of weather pattern on initiation of hot and cold weather conditions in Ukraine

Published: December 2019

The topicality of the study is stipulated by the need to diagnose, monitor and predict the weather conditions causing temperature anomalies in Ukraine in order to prevent their adverse impact on the country's economy. On the climate change background, extreme weather events become more frequent and intense. The forecast for anomalous events can be significantly improved if the main types of atmospheric circulation related to those events will be identified. This paper aims to identify the main circulation processes causing the initiation of hot and cold weather conditions in Ukraine. These conditions are the so-called indices of extremes: summer days (SU), tropical nights (TR), ice days (ID), and frosty days (FD), calculated using the daily minimum and maximum air temperature at the regular grid points covering the territory of Ukraine with a spatial resolution of 0.75×0.75 degrees. The GWL circulation types were obtained from the Hess-Brezovsky objective classification for the atmospheric processes, which is widely used for synoptic analysis in Europe. The GWL circulation types differ by the location of ridges (anticyclones) and troughs (cyclones) on the 500 hPa isobaric surface. The difference from most other atmospheric circulation classifications is that each GWL remains for at least 3 days. If the transition to another GWL lasts more than 1 day, such days are considered as the previous or next GWL, whichever is most similar.
The frequencies for ten types of weather patterns by the Hess-Brezovsky classification for the period from 1971 to 2001 were analyzed for Ukraine, and the circulation types, which are the most common for summer days, tropical nights, frosty days and frosty nights, were detected. It was shown that the extreme hot or frost weather conditions are in most cases initiated by the same circulation type. Also, the initiation of hot and frost weather is almost completely unaffected by the weather pattern caused by the third, fifth and ninth types of the GWL classification.

Problem-based learning (PBL) is a teaching method that encourages the student´s proactivity to reason, in order to seek solutions to the problem in question. This article aims to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of using the PBL method for top level students in business areas. In order to meet the objective, a questionnaire was prepared from the literature studied and sent to 375 students, with a return rate of 19%. The main results show that 74% of the respondents consider that the practical classes contribute to the memorization of the content, 93% of the respondents consider it an opportunity for personal and social formation, besides promoting the sharing of knowledge and improvement in decision-making. It also found that 83% feel more protagonists in the PBL method and more than 81% feel more engaged in their own learning. As a result, it was possible to identify a favorable perception of the learning method that leads and engages the student. This research also allows us to conclude that the PBL is, in fact, perceived as a more current and innovative method by students.
