ABSTRACT: This paper aims at investigating experiences from students (postgraduate teaching apprentices) with activities developed through the WebQuest tool in order to observe traces of autonomy by the postgraduate students. This research also sought to scrutinize possible changes in students' perceptions regarding their role as a language teacher. The theoretical approach that guided this investigation encompassed the notions of autonomy, both from the learner’s and the teacher´s perspectives (BENSON, 1997; 2008; DICKINSON, 1994; MOURA FILHO, 2009; PAIVA, 2005), as well as the use of WebQuest as an efficient tool for learning (CHRISTIE, 2007; DIAS, 2010; MARCH, 2004). In this case study, data were generated by the observation of the activities' accomplishment and the responses of nine of the participants to a questionnaire designed in the virtual environment. The results showed that the activities proposed through the WebQuest tool provided the postgraduate students with autonomy in the knowledge construction and, therefore, it was possible to notice significant changes in their attitudes in relation to learning.

Published: July 2020

The recto-urethral (RUF) and recto-vestibular fistula (RVF) are varieties of anorectal malformation (ARM) with distinct clinical behaviour. In this study post-operative clinico-manometric comparison has been done.The study was conducted for 2 year period and included post-operative cases of RUF and RVF. Post-operative follow up was done clinically and by anal manometry.Kruskal Wallis test, Mann Whitney U test, and Spearman correlation test were done to find out the statistical significance.A total of 21 patients with RUF and RVF were included. The average basal and squeeze pressure of RVF group was (cm H2O) 34.66 ± 13.2 and 89.35 ± 30.8 respectively. These pressures were higher than those of RUF which were 26.74 ± 12.8 and 71.20 ± 42.8 respectively. Rectoanal inhibitory reflex (RAIR) was present in 84.6% cases of RVF in comparison to 62.5% in RUF group. The mean combined (RUF + RVF) basal pressure in RAIR positive group was 32.97 ± 12.2 compared to 24.5 ± 4.6 cm HO in RAIR negative group. The mean combined squeeze pressure in RAIR positive group was 84.34 ± 36.2 compared to 68.83 ± 32.75 cm HO in RAIR negative group.The anal pressures of RVF group were higher than RUF group. Anal pressures also higher in RAIR positive group than the RAIR negative group. Anal pressures and RAIR status may have some role in post-operative outcome in cases of ARM.

Published: July 2020

Anemia is a major global health problem, especially in developing countries. This problem is largely preventable & easily treatable. In India prevalence is approximately 51%. The NFHS 2005-2006 revealed that at least 80% of Indian children aged 12-23 months are anemic. Most children with anemia are asymptomatic and have abnormal Hb or hematocrit level on routine screening. Anemia in infancy and early childhood is associated with behavioral and cognitive delays, and lower scores on test of mental and motor development.To study clinical profile and factors associated with severe anemia. This study was conducted in the Department of Pediatrics, Pt. B.D.S. PGIMS, Rohtak. The patients of age group 6 months to 59 months having severe anemia (Hb 7 gm/dl) were taken as subjects. Out of 100 patients 51 belonged to iron def anemia (51%), 15 belongsed to megaloblastic anemia (15%). The mean hemoglobin was 5.22 that ranged from 2 to 7 gm//dl with standard deviation of 1.389. mean MCV was 76, whereas MCH, MCHC were 20 and 26 respectively. Most of anemic children belonged to grade 3 and 4 degree of malnutrition (76%). Prevalence of anemia in children admitted at PGIMS was high. Characteristics strongly associated with severe anemia included unemployment among caregivers and malnutrition. Iron deficiency anemia and megaloblastic anemia were the common types.

Introduction: Menopause is the natural termination of menstruation, which affects the quality, and important aspects of women life. The aim of this study was to investigate regular resistance training along with vitamins D and calcium intake in the pre-menopausal period on bone mineral density (BMD) in rats.
Methods: In this experimental study, the rats were randomly divided into control groups, placebo, vitamin D, calcium, resistance training, vitamin D + calcium, vitamin D + resistance training, calcium + resistance training, vitamin D + calcium + resistance training. Control and placebo groups were fed with a standard diet and sesame oil, respectively. Ovariectomy was done after two months of resistance training (Ex), calcium (35 mg/kg) and vitamin D (10000 IU) administration. BMD and bone mineral content (BMC) were measured. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was performed to examine bone total diameter and osteoclast and osteocyte cell numbers. The statistical analysis was done by a one-way analysis of variance (SPSS 20).
Results: There was an increasing trend in BMD lumbar of the Ex group (P<0.001) in comparison with the control group. The amount of bone mineral in the whole body in calcium and calcium + resistance groups was higher than the control group (P <0.05). BMC total in the vitamin D, calcium + resistance training, vitamin D + resistance training and calcium + vitamin D + resistance-training groups was lower than the other groups. Osteoclast cell numbers were decreased in Ex, Vit D+Ex (P<0.05), Ca+Vit D, Ca+Ex and Ex+Vit D+Ca groups (P<0.001) compared to the control group, also, osteocyte numbers were decreased in VitD, Ca+Vit D (P<0.05), Ex, Vit D+Ex, and Ex+Vit D+Ca groups (P<0.001).
Conclusion: Regular resistance exercise, vitamin D and calcium supplements in pre-menopausal period can improve BMD and BMC and delay the process of osteoporosis in postmenopausal period.

Introduction: Occupational injuries can impose a significant cost to the country’s economy. In developing countries, it is usually difficult to get access to occupational injuries data mainly because the lack of appropriate reporting and recording system, and in these countries, making it difficult to accurately estimate the costs of these injuries. The purpose of this study is to estimate the direct and indirect costs of occupational injuries in one of the Iranian refining industries.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on all occupational injuries, including outpatient injuries to deaths in 2015. Data was collected based on a bottom-up approach, by using the recorded documents and a researcher-made questionnaire. Lastly the direct and indirect costs for different stockholders, including workers and their families, industry and society as a whole, were calculated. Investigated direct costs of occupational injuries included The healthcare costs, out of pocket cost and informal caregiving and Indirect costs included productivity losses, reorganization and investigation costs and home production costs.
Results: It is estimated that occupational injuries impose 103,385 million Rials to the society over a year. Investigated direct costs of occupational injuries imposed 14,152 million Rials (48 million Rials per case). Indirect costs imposed 89,232 million Rials to the society (308 million Rials per case). Also the average healthcare cost per case for fatal injuries is estimate 125 million, for serious injuries 12 million Rials and for outpatient injuries 780,000 Rials
Conclusion: According to the results of the study, occupational injuries annually bring significant economic costs to the industry, workers and their families which a significant portion of these costs are indirect costs. These results indicates the status and importance of occupational injuries and therefore can be used by decision-makers and planners in occupational health-related issues.

Published: July 2020

Introduction: Workload can be defined as the hypothetical construct that represents the cost incurred by a human operator to achieve a particular level of performance. Several methods have been used to assess the workload. One of the most common methods of assessing mental workload is NASA-TLX method. The present study was conducted to develop and validate of a pilot activity load index (PALI) based on NASA-TLX template.
Materials and Methods: This study was a cross-sectional and descriptive-analytical that was carried out among airline pilots of Civil Aviation Organization. At first, “Pilot Activity Load Index” or PALI subscales were developed based on NASA-TLX template. Validity of the subscales was evaluated by Content Validity Ratio (CVR) and Content Validity Index (CVI).Using Lawshe’s table. Finally, to determine the internal consistency of the subscales, 30 pilots completed the final version of the PALI in typical flight phases. The data obtained were then analyzed by SPSS using Cronbach's alpha to measure the reliability of the subscales and considering an acceptance level of 0.7.
Results: The first results led to the emergence of an initial list with 17 subscales. Eleven subscales were irrelevant, redundant and impractical to use in operational environment, due to CVR less than 0.75 and were omitted from the subscales list. Finally, six PALI subscales were approved related to pilot tasks (CVI=0.79). The Verified subscales had a Cronbach's alpha value of 0.89 and were therefore considered a reliable tool.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that PALI questionnaire which validity and reliability has been approved can be used for assessment of workload in pilots.
