Authors: Xue Ting , Jiang Wen-Bin , Ma Meng-Di , Zhang Jie , Lu Ming-Hui , Jiang Yong-Mei 
Published: October 2020

Abstract

Objective
Nurse's dimission and attrition are globally considered as a public health issue. However, few studies have focused on the nurse shortage from the perspective of intent to stay, as previous studies have focused only on why they left. The purpose of this study was to conduct an integrative review of the factors connected with why nurses in China, Japan, and Korea stay in their current workplace.

Methods
The review was done using three databases namely CNKI, Wanfang, and Web of science. The relevant studies published by Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans from 2010 were also included in this review. Literature screening and data extraction were performed by the two researchers, and the qualitative research methods were used for analysis.

Results
A total of 17 studies were analyzed in this review and of these two were qualitative and 15 were quantitative. Three themes and six sub-themes emerged from the synthesization of the data of 17 studies, which will help us to find the factors for nurses’ intent to stay. The three aspects such as professional characteristics, nurses’ individual characteristics, and organizational factors are the main contributing factors of nurses’ intent to stay.

Conclusions
This integrated review has thrown some important factors about nurses’ intent to stay. It is increasingly clear that when (1) nurses have a good professional status, (2) nurses could enjoy a good working relationship, (3) the workplace could meet the needs of personal development, and (4) nurses have good organizational support and excellent leaders, they are inclined to stay in their current jobs. Managers need to adopt targeted measures to improve nurses’ intent to stay and to provide a practical reference for health care institutions and managers in different countries and areas to increase the retention rate of nurses and to alleviate the current situation of nurse shortage.
Trade shocks and youth jobs
Authors: Olabisi Michael 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
This paper examines the impacts of trade on youth employment in the United States. The overarching goal is to link lessons from the decline of manufacturing jobs in the past decades to future prospects for the US economy. We find higher rates of job losses with exposure to import competition for US youth, than for older workers. Our analysis uses buyer–supplier relationships between sectors of the US economy to show that the direct effects of trade on the importing sectors underrepresent the impact of trade on jobs.
SECULARISM FOR DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Davies Lynn 
Published: October 2020

Secular governance is argued to be essential to stable development.Â From this it is contended that a secular approach to education is also central to development.Â The paper explores how religion can be complicit in conflict and fragility, and can be part of extremism or repressive nationalism.Â It outlines the amplification spiral of religion in conflict and violence, in order to propose a dynamic secularism to break this cycle.Â Eight myths of secularism are outlined and dismissed.Â The implications for education are fivefold:Â avoiding segregation by religion;Â not stereotyping or dehumanising â€˜othersâ€™; using a rights-based approach to values which cuts across all religions; preparing learners for a secular democratic citizenship; and insisting on critical thinking for teachers and learners.Â While in dynamic secularism all religions are accepted, they must not be elevated above other forms of ideology or grouping, and must be subject to the same critiques.Â
RECONCEPTUALISING THE ROLE OF NARRATIVE IN EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT IN AFRICA: LESSONS FROM THE FIELD
Authors: Stephens David 
Published: October 2020

There has been a major â€˜turnâ€™ towards narrative, biographical and life history approaches in theÂ academy over the last 30 years. But whereas some significant narrative research has been carriedÂ out in the West, such approaches are in their infancy on the African continent. This article exploresÂ narrative at three levels from the influence of Western meta narratives to the national and moreÂ personal narratives of teachers and students. Drawing on two periods of narrative field work inÂ Ghana and South Africa, the article concludes with a discussion of three important lessons to beÂ learnt from the field: that the relationship between â€˜grandâ€™ hegemonic narratives and individualÂ life histories needs to be re-thought; that context and culture provide the hermeneutic â€˜glueâ€™ thatÂ provides meaning to the field narratives; and that narrative research can provide alternativeÂ sources of evidence for policymakers.
Misandry and Resistance in Sylvia Plath’s Mushrooms and Lady Lazarus
Authors: Karo Hassan , Hassan Saman 
Published: October 2020

This paper discusses the two concepts of misandry and resistance in two famous poems by Sylvia Plath, namely Mushrooms (1959) and Lady Lazarus (1962). It focuses on the sufferings of women in the distressful life conditions they witness in patriarchal societies. It also reveals men’s perception of women in male-dominated communities and the reaction of women to such perceptions. Through the female speakers of the poems, Plath stands against the patriarchal norms. She expresses her resentment at men’s treatment of women. The paper takes into consideration the critical views of three French feminist–psychoanalytic theorists− Julia Kristeva (1941- ), Helene Cixous (1937- ), and Luce Irigaray (1930- )− to provide a concrete poetic analysis of the two selected poems. In this study, Plath is shown to represent the entire post-WWII female generation. The study sheds light on the domestic environment women were living and how they were oppressed in society by men. It aims to illustrate the obstacles that failed women to speak up and discover their own identity. The study argues that the difficult life women experienced has made them develop the sense of misandry and resist the tyrannical rule of men. The paper covers the two poems in a chronological order: first, Mushrooms, which is normally regarded as Plath’s preparation for the fight against patriarchy, and then, Lady Lazarus, which symbolizes resistance and triumph over the oppressive power of men.
AMELIORATIVE EFFECTS OF GRAPE SEED OIL ON CHROMIUM-INDUCED NEPHROTOXICITY AND OXIDATIVESTRESS IN RATS
Authors: Orabi Sahar Hassan , Shawky Sherif Mohamed 
Published: October 2020

The current study focused on investigating the renoprotective effects of grape seed oil (GSO) against hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI))-induced nephrotoxicity. A total of 40 male rats were randomly divided into four groups: group I served as the control group, group II received 1000 mg/L potassium dichromate (353.5 mg/L Cr(VI)) in drinking water for 12 weeks, group III received 3.7 g/kg body weight/day GSO orally for 12 weeks, and group IV received GSO together with potassium dichromate for 12 weeks. Cr(VI) significantly increased serum levels of urea, creatinine, potassium and glucose. In addition, Cr(VI) increased MDA levels and induced renal tissue damage and DNA damage. On the other hand, Cr(VI) decreased serum levels of sodium and antioxidant defence system [reduced glutathione (GSH) and catalase (CAT)]. However, treatment with GSO prevented elevation levels of serum urea, creatinine, potassium and glucose. In addition, GSO enhanced sodium level, renal tissue antioxidant defense system due to its curative effect ameliorated particularly oxidative stress, renal tissue and DNA damage. In conclusion, these results demonstrate that GSO is a promising nephroprotective agent against Cr(VI)-induced nephrotoxicity.Key words: grape seed oil; hexavalent chromium; nephrotoxicity; DNA damage BLAŽILNI UČINKI OLJA GROZDNIH PEŠK PRI TOKSIČNI OBREMENITVI LEDVIC TER VPLIV NA OKSIDATIVNI STRES PODGAN, POVZROČEN S KROMOM Povzetek: Študija je bila osredotočena na proučevanje zaščitnih učinkov olja grozdnih pešk (GSO) pri toksični obremenitvi ledvic, povzročeni s heksavalentnim kromom (Cr (VI)). Štirideset samcev podgan je bilo naključno razdeljenih v štiri skupine: skupina I - kontrolna skupina, skupina II, ki je v pitni vodi 12 tednov prejemala 1000 mg/L kalijevega dikromata (353,5 mg/L Cr (VI)), skupina III, ki je peroralno 12 tednov prejemala 3,7 g/kg telesne mase/dan GSO ter skupina IV, ki je 12 tednov prejemala GSO skupaj s kalijevim dikromatom. Cr(VI) je znatno zvišal serumske ravni sečnine, kreatinina, kalija in glukoze v serumu. Poleg tega je Cr(VI) zvišal raven MDA in povzročil poškodbe ledvičnega tkiva in poškodbe DNK. Po drugi strani je Cr(VI) znižal serumsko raven natrija in antioksidativnega obrambnega sistema, zmanjšal raven glutationske peroksidaze in katalaze. Dodajanje GSO poskusnim živalim je preprečilo zvišanje ravni sečnine v serumu, kreatinina, kalija, natrija in glukoze. Poleg tega je GSO izboljšal obrambni sistem antioksidantov ledvičnega tkiva. Zaradi svojega zdravilnega učinka je izboljšal zlasti oksidativni stres, poškodbe ledvičnega tkiva in DNK. Rezultati kažejo, da je GSO obetavno zaščitno sredstvo za ledvica pri toksični obremenitvi, povzročeni s Cr(VI).Ključne besede: olje grozdnih pešk; heksavalentni krom; nefrotoksičnost; poškodba DNK

A evasão é um dos males que aflige a todos os tipos de instituições de ensino e tem assumido preocupantes proporções no âmbito das Instituições de Ensino Superior –IES. Este estudo surgiu do interesse em conhecer como esse fenômeno se manifesta no Curso de Engenharia Civil do Instituto Federal de Minas Gerais – Campus Avançado Piumhi. Com o intuito de investigar as causas da evasão nas turmas que ingressaram no período de 2014/2 a 2018/1, procedeu-se à análise do perfil do estudante evadido, a partir da realização de testes estatísticos com dados fornecidos pelo registro acadêmico do curso. Os resultados sinalizam que, em sua maioria, o estudante evadido é homem, solteiro, oriundo de escola pública, reside com seus pais e possui renda familiar de até três salários mínimos. Dessa forma, buscou-se a compreensão da complexidade das relações que se desenvolvem no ambiente acadêmico e que podem vir a serem causadores desse fenômeno. Depreende-se, a partir das análises realizadas, que a questão socioeconômica é um fator que influencia direta e indiretamente na decisão de evasão do estudante.

Evasion in the civil engineering bachelor’s course of the Federal Institute of Minas Gerais – advanced Piumhi
Abstract
Evasion is one of the ills that afflict all types of educational institutions and has assumed alarming proportions in the context of Higher Education Institutions -HES. This study arose from the interest in knowing how this phenomenon manifests itself in the Civil Engineering Course of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Minas Gerais – Piumhi Advanced Campus. In order to investigate the causes of evasion in the groups that entered the period from 2014/2 to 2018/1, proceeded to analyze the profile of the evade student, based on statistical tests with data provided by the academicrecord of the course. The results indicate that, for the most part, he is a man, single, from a public school, resides with his parents and has a family income of up to three minimum wages. Thus, we sought to understand the complexity of relationships that develop in the academic environment and that may be the cause of this phenomenon. It can be inferred from the analyzes made that the socioeconomic question is a factor that directly and indirectly in the student's avoidance decision today.

Nesta pesquisa, objetivamos compreender de que maneira a disciplina de Matemática Financeira está estruturada nos Projetos Pedagógicos dos Cursos (PPCs) das licenciaturas em Matemática e adequada à futura prática do professor. Adotamos como metodologia, uma abordagem qualitativa do tipo documental, cujo corpus foi constituído por 182 PPCs de cursos, de todas as regiões geográficas do Brasil. A análise dos dados foi realizada por meio da Análise de Conteúdo, a qual possibilitou a constituição de duas categorias de análise. Debatendo as categorias, evidenciamos a necessidade de as licenciaturas em Matemática tomem para si a responsabilidade de formar professores capacitados, contemplando saberes associados ao desenvolvimento do processo de educação escolar básica. Esperamos que este estudo possa contribuir com o debate do currículo da formação inicial de professores e que transcenda o ensino, meramente técnico, o qual supervaloriza o ensino numa perspectiva transmissiva de conceitos em detrimento da construção do conhecimento científico.

Authors: Singh Kinsuk , Chaudhary Meenu , Sitaula Sanjeeta 
Published: October 2020

Introduction: Penetrating keratoplasty has become one of the most commonly performed transplant procedures where full thickness diseased host corneal tissue is replaced with healthy donor corneal tissue. Aims of penetrating keratoplasty include improvement in visual acuity, removal of infectious load, alleviate pain or even to simply save the anatomy of the eye. Visual improvement and removal of infection is the prime objective of majority of corneal grafts. The objective of the study was to evaluate various current indications of penetrating keratoplasty in central Nepal and its difference from the developed world.
Material and methods: A hospital based study of 36 patients who underwent penetrating keratoplasty between January 2014 and June 2015 was carried out at B.P. Koirala Centre for ophthalmic studies. Following clinical examination and investigations, surgical intervention was done when required. The patient data were recorded and followed up. Indication for surgery, investigations and demographic profile were assessed.
Results: Mean recipient age was 46.56 years (+/- 16.02 years). The male: female ratio was 1.57:1. The most common indication for penetrating keratoplasty was infectious keratitis (44.44%), followed by corneal opacity or scarring (30.56 %), re-grafts (13.89%),bullous keratopathy (2.78%), keratoconus (2.78%) and others (2.78%)
Conclusion: Though corneal diseases and indications for transplant surgery in developing countries are different from those in the western world, penetrating keratoplasty has emerged as one of the most successful way to reduce corneal blindness and to restore vision.

Authors: Parajuli Anil , Joshi Purushottam , Subedi Prabha , Pradhan Chandni 
Published: October 2020

Introduction: The most common cause of vision loss in cases of Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is due to macular edema. This study was conducted to examine the effect of intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) in the treatment of macular edema secondary to RVO.
Materials and methods: The authors conducted a retrospective study of 94 eyes (N) of 92 patients with macular edema associated with decreased visual acuity secondary to RVO who were treated with IVB. Patients received IVB at baseline, 1 month and 2 months. At each follow up patients were evaluated and re-injected if necessary.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 56.6 ±11.51 years. The average number of injections per eye was 2.1 ± 0.87. The baseline median central macular thickness (CMT) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in LogMAR was 465.00μm (Min 254μm, Max 1218μm) and 1.00 (Min 0.30, Max 2.28), respectively. The median CMT at one month following first, second and third dose of IVB was 258μm (N=94, Z= -7.64, p <0.001), 261μm (N=63, Z= -0.17, p=0.86), and 292μm (N=41, Z= -0.21, p= 0.83), respectively. The median LogMAR BCVA at one month following first, second and third dose of IVB was 0.60 (N=94, Z= -5.70, p < 0.001), 0.60 (N=63, Z= -1.69, p=0.09), and 0.60 (N=41, Z= -0.03, p=0.97), respectively. Pre-operative BCVA was the best predictor of the final visual outcome after IVB in cases of RVO. None of the patients developed any serious ocular or systemic complications due to IVB.
Conclusion: IVB is an effective and safe treatment for macular edema associated with decreased visual acuity secondary to RVO. The most beneficial effect of IVB is seen at one month after the first dose. The efficacy of subsequent doses could not be established in this study
Polonistyczny regres, czyli o projektowanej dydaktyce polonistycznej
Authors: Kwiatkowska‑Ratajczak Maria 
Published: October 2020

The author undertakes the topic of the Polish language education undergoing constant reform. She refers to the fact that the reformers disregard established didactic conclusions and take into account neither the students’ needs nor the subjectivity of both young people and teachers. She indicates restrictions imposed on the spheres of school leeway and, at the same time, the expansion of the prescribed duties. Additionally, she points to the school curriculum overload. While underscoring the flaws of the literary mandatory readings’ chronological ordering, she elucidates that the contemporary perspective, which have been introduced in teaching, is largely ostensible. What she proves is that editors of new Polish language school books simply multiple requirements towards teenage students and their humanist formation. She denies the purposefulness of teaching multitude of terms to students, and reminds us that such a rote learning trains memory but does not teach one how to think. She describes the petrification of knowledge of language and omission of communicative learning, which both stem from the core curriculum and the conservatism of handbooks. She is convinced that what is genuinely important may transpire at school outside the core curriculum and the scope of school books.
Dylematy kształcenia polonistycznego, czyli czego nas uczą pierwsze lata reformy
Authors: Janus‑Sitarz Anna 
Published: October 2020

The review article describes the effects of the hastily implemented reform of school education. Its effects were monitored by researchers whose observations appeared in the volume Dilemmas of Polish Studies in the reformed primary school edited by Zofia Budrewicz and Danuta Łazarska, published as part of the Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracovienesis. Authors from many academic centres address the topics of overcrowded high schools (the socalled effect of the double year), students overloaded with learning, return of rote learning, as well as the process of full centralisation in education management (no teachers’ participation in preparing reforms), or politicised programme changes and haste. The volume contains many texts that critically analyse the new core curriculum in the field of Polish language education. Repeated allegations include: anachronism, lack of autonomy in the choice of texts, deprivation of references to modern times, dominance of theoretical terminology, marginalisation of communication practice, etc. In addition, some of the dissertations contained in the publication are based on empirical research and examples of so-called good educational practices.
Numerical investigation on the tunneling and mining induced geo-hazards: Case study in Quang Ninh, Vietnam
Authors: Giang Nguyen Cong , Manh Nguyen Van , Phich Nguyen Quang 
Published: October 2020

In the field of rock mechanics, underground construction and mining, there have been many proposed methods for studying geo-hazards and also many research results that have been published in the world. In Vietnam, the numerical method is mainly used for analysis and design but not going deeply to predict the possible causes that lead to geo-hazards due to complex geological conditions. On the other hand, underground constructions and exploitation projects are often designed based on standards, regulations and experiences. The physical mechanism as well as the possibility of geo-hazards occurred when constructing underground structures and mining can take on various forms, depending on geological conditions and construction technology. Therefore, using numerical methods to simulate and analyze the possible geo-hazards is essential. This article presents a number of specific analysis cases, taking into account geological conditions and boundary conditions, and from that, raising a number of issues to note when using numerical methods.
