TERMINOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE BASIC DEFINITIONS OF STUDYING VOCATIONAL TRAINING OF FUTURE JUNIOR SPECIALISTS IN NURSING IN COLLEGES
Authors: Demianchuk М. R. 
Published: April 2020

The article argues that nowadays a well-established conceptual and terminological apparatus, whose origins have deep historical roots, in modern vocational training of future specialists in nursing of different qualification levels, is used. On the basis of theoretical analysis of scientific literary sources and conceptual and terminological synthesis has been established that definition of “nurse” comes from Latin “nutricius”,which means caring for those who suffer. On the basis of comparative analysis the comparative-historical way of becoming nurse profession has been reflected.The basis is a five-stage periodization of the formation and development of nursing (by M. Shehedyn). It has been concretized that in the prehistoric period, which lasted from ancient times to the V century AD, work that reflected some of the functions of modern nurse was regarded as a spontaneous care, not as a profession; the period of the Middle Ages was marked by the functioning of specialized institutions for the care of sick people; during the Classical period the nursing and Sisters of Charity were born; the Neoclassical period was marked by the development of scientific concepts for the organization of the system of training nurses; in the Modern period the degree nursing education was introduced.
In different historical periods, to indicate the functional characteristics of persons who determine the modern professional activity of nurse, the following terms were used: “deaconess”, “caregiver”, “Sister of Mercy”, “Daughter of Charity”, “nurse”. The recognition of nursing staff by the World Health Organization in 1983 as independent and equal in the health care system, as well as the official definition of “nursing”, which was considered as an activity aimed at addressing individual and public health problems in a changing environmental conditions, became an extremely important event in development of the world nursing.

ObjectiveMénière’s disease (MD) is a clinical condition defined by spontaneous vertigo attacks (each lasting 20 minutes to 12 hours) with documented low‐ to midfrequency sensorineural hearing loss in the affected ear before, during, or after one of the episodes of vertigo. It also presents with fluctuating aural symptoms (hearing loss, tinnitus, or ear fullness) in the affected ear. The underlying etiology of MD is not completely clear, yet it has been associated with inner ear fluid volume increases, culminating in episodic ear symptoms (vertigo, fluctuating hearing loss, tinnitus, and aural fullness). Physical examination findings are often unremarkable, and audiometric testing may or may not show low‐ to midfrequency sensorineural hearing loss. Imaging, if performed, is also typically normal. The goals of MD treatment are to prevent or reduce vertigo severity and frequency; relieve or prevent hearing loss, tinnitus, and aural fullness; and improve quality of life. Treatment approaches to MD are many, and approaches typically include modifications of lifestyle factors (eg, diet) and medical, surgical, or a combination of therapies.PurposeThe primary purpose of this clinical practice guideline is to improve the quality of the diagnostic workup and treatment outcomes of MD. To achieve this purpose, the goals of this guideline are to use the best available published scientific and/or clinical evidence to enhance diagnostic accuracy and appropriate therapeutic interventions (medical and surgical) while reducing unindicated diagnostic testing and/or imaging.

Abstract
Background
While there is increasing evidence on the safety of artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) for the case management of malaria in early pregnancy, little is known about the association between exposure to ACT during the first trimester and the effect on fetal growth.

Methods
Data were analysed from prospective studies of pregnant women enrolled in Mozambique, Burkina Faso and Kenya designed to determine the association between anti-malarial drug exposure in the first trimester and pregnancy outcomes, including low birth weight (LBW) and small for gestational age (SGA). Exposure to anti-malarial drugs was ascertained retrospectively by record linkage using a combination of data collected from antenatal and adult outpatient clinic registries, prescription records and self-reported medication usage by the women. Site-level data synthesis (fixed effects and random effects) was conducted as well as individual-level analysis (fixed effects by site).

Results
Overall, 1915 newborns were included with 92 and 26 exposed to ACT (artemether–lumefantrine) and quinine, respectively. In Burkina Faso, Mozambique and Kenya at recruitment, the mean age (standard deviation) was 27.1 (6.6), 24.2 (6.2) and 25.7 (6.5) years, and the mean gestational age was 24.0 (6.2), 21.2 (5.7) and 17.9 (10.2) weeks, respectively. The LBW prevalence among newborns born to women exposed to ACT and quinine (QNN) during the first trimester was 10/92 (10.9%) and 7/26 (26.9%), respectively, compared to 9.5% (171/1797) among women unexposed to any anti-malarials during pregnancy. Compared to those unexposed to anti-malarials, ACT and QNN exposed women had the pooled LBW prevalence ratio (PR) of 1.13 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.62–2.05, p-value 0.700) and 2.03 (95% CI 1.09–3.78, p-value 0.027), respectively. Compared to those unexposed to anti-malarials ACT and QNN-exposed women had the pooled SGA PR of 0.85 (95% CI 0.50–1.44, p-value 0.543) and 1.41 (95% CI 0.71–2.77, p-value 0.322), respectively. Whereas compared to ACT-exposed, the QNN-exposed had a PR of 2.14 (95% CI 0.78–5.89, p-value 0.142) for LBW and 8.60 (95% CI 1.29–57.6, p-value 0.027) for SGA. The level of between sites heterogeneity was moderate to high.

Conclusion
ACT exposure during the first trimester was not associated with an increased occurrence of LBW or SGA. However, the data suggest a higher prevalence of LBW and SGA for children born to QNN-exposed pregnancies. The findings support the use of ACT (artemether–lumefantrine) for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria during the first trimester of pregnancy.

Abstract
Background
The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term clinical stability of implants with acid-etched surfaces sandblasted with alumina using retrospective analyses of the survival rate, success rate, primary and secondary stability, complications, and marginal bone loss of the implants.

Methods
Patients who had implants placed (TS III SA, SS II SA, SS III SA, and U III SA) with SA surfaces from Osstem (Osstem Implant Co., Busan, Korea) at the Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, from January 2008 to December 2010 were selected for the study. Patients’ medical records and radiographs (panorama, periapical view) were retrospectively analyzed to investigate sex, age, location of implantation, diameter, and length of the implants, initial and secondary stability, presence of bone grafting, types of bone grafting and membranes, early and delayed complications, marginal bone loss, and implant survival rate.

Results
Ninety-six implants were placed in 45 patients. Five implants were removed during the follow-up period for a total survival rate of 94.8%. There were 14 cases of complications, including 6 cases of early complications and 8 cases of delayed complications. All five implants that failed to survive were included in the early complications. The survival of implants was significantly associated with the occurrence of complications and the absorption of bone greater than 1 mm within 1 year after prosthetic completion. In addition, the absorption of bone greater than 1 mm within 1 year after prosthetic completion was significantly associated with the occurrence of complications, primary stability, and implant placement method. Five cases that failed to survive were all included in the early complications criteria such as infection, failure of initial osseointegration, and early exposure of the fixture.

Conclusions
Of the 96 cases, 5 implants failed resulting in a 94.8% survival rate. The failed implants were all cases of early complications such as infection, failure of initial osseointegration, and early exposure of the fixtures. Peri-implantitis was mostly addressed through conservative and/or surgical treatment and resulted in very low prosthetic complications. Therefore, if preventive measures are taken to minimize initial complications, the results can be very stable.

Abstract
Background
The assessment of the knowledge of Toxoplasma gondii infection among health professionals is essential to design an effective management strategy. The current study was conducted to assess the knowledge and perception of health professionals working in urban public health centers of different parts of Rabat in Morocco.

Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted from March 15 to June 15, 2017, in urban public health centers selected in the prefecture of Rabat in Morocco. A structured questionnaire was completed by participants and included questions on the epidemiology and diagnosis of toxoplasmosis and clinical issues related to the infection.

Results
Ninety-six health professionals participated, including medical doctors, nurses, midwives, and laboratory technicians. Most of them were female (86, 89.58%). The mean age was 40.51 ± 10.26 years, and the mean length of time working in the field of healthcare was 15.92 ± 8.55 years. Eighty one percent (86, 81.25%) of health professionals knew the agent of toxoplasmosis, and 62 (64.5%) knew the definitive host of the parasite. Regarding clinical symptoms, 55 (57.29%) of the respondents knew that toxoplasmosis is an asymptomatic disease in immunocompetent persons. More than half of the respondents correctly identified the main routes of transmission: eating raw or undercooked meats, unwashed fruits and vegetables, and having direct contact with cats. However, only 29 (30.21%) of them believed that water can be a risk factor for the transmission of toxoplasmosis. Regarding diagnosis, only 14 (14.58%) health professionals knew about the avidity test.

Conclusions
The implementation of educational interventions is recommended to raise awareness of toxoplasmosis among health professionals who provide prenatal care in public health centers.
Design and performance analysis of integrated focusing grating couplers for the transverse-magnetic TM00 mode in a photonic BiCMOS technology
Authors: Georgieva Galina , Voigt Karsten , Peczek Anna , Mai Christian , Zimmermann Lars 
Published: April 2020

AbstractFocusing grating couplers for the excitation of the fundamental transverse-magnetic (TM) mode in integrated silicon photonic waveguides are designed and characterized under the boundary conditions of a photonic BiCMOS foundry. Two types of waveguide geometries are considered – a nanowire and a rib waveguide. Wafer-scale experimental results for nanowire TM grating couplers are in excellent agreement with numerical investigations and demonstrate a robust behavior on the wafer. The mean coupling loss and the 3σ interval are -3.9 ± 0.3 dB. The on wafer variation is three times lower than for the fundamental transverse-electric (TE) polarization. Similarly, the coupling in rib waveguides is examined as well. The results indicate that the rib waveguides require a modified geometry when designed for TM. In general, the nanowire waveguide type is more suitable for TM coupling, showing a stable and repeatable performance.
Didática nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental: um estudo sobre a docência de 11 professoras
Authors: Almeida Rosineire Silva de , Cruz Giseli Barreto da 
Published: April 2020

Este trabalho teve por objetivo analisar aspectos da docência de 11 professoras que são reconhecidas pelos seus pares como referência de prática docente porque ensinam na perspectiva de “fazer aprender alguma coisa a alguém” em contraposição à ideia de ensino como ato de “professar um saber” conforme distingue Roldão (2007). Teoricamente apoiou-se em Roldão, para abordar a dupla transitividade e a mediação no processo de ensino aprendizagem, e em Shulman, no que se refere à base de conhecimento profissional docente. Metodologicamente considerou a técnica da bola de neve, que utiliza cadeias de referências e entrevistas semiestruturadas. Onze professoras de escola pública localizadas no estado do Rio de Janeiro/BR participaram da pesquisa. A análise dos dados foi construída em três eixos: i- concepções de ensino; ii- saberes mobilizados pelas professoras para ensinar na perspectiva de “fazer aprender alguma coisa a alguém”; iii- estratégias de ensino elaboradas pelas professoras. Os resultados indicam que: i- as professoras concebem o ensino como ato investigativo; ii- o professor se apresenta como um pesquisador e criador de novas e variadas estratégias para ensinar; iii- o processo pedagógico de mediação do professor entre o conhecimento e o aluno envolve múltiplos saberes para suprir a necessidade da classe e dos alunos individualmente.

Published: April 2020

Abstract
Background: Family clustering has facilitated the transmission of SARS-CoV-2, and the outflows of people from Wuhan to their hometown has become the most important transmission channel in China. The study aimed to investigate the SARS-CoV-2 infection of an entire family, especially children. Methods: This family case study was conducted in General Mountain Hospital, Guizhou Province. In January 2020, we recruited a family of 13 members, including three children and nine adults, at different stages, from admission screening to discharge. We used standardized case report forms to collect clinical data between January 16, 2020 and March 1, 2020. These data included temperature, contact history, incubation period, laboratory test results, imaging results, length of hospital stay, and treatment outcomes. Results: Eight cases had confirmed diagnoses of SARS-CoV-2 infection, including three mild cases (37.5%) and five common cases (62.5%). The child patient had the shortest length of hospital stay and less obvious symptoms. There was no significant difference between the laboratory test results and CT scans. Conclusions: Children are not susceptible to virus infection in their families. Compared with adult patients, pediatric patients have milder symptoms, shorter hospital stays, and lower risk of lung infections. As this cannot confirm whether their nucleic acid amplification tests are negative or positive after discharge, the management and control of discharged patients should therefore be paid additional attention.

Background:The search for new antimicrobial drugs is a never ending task due to microbial resistance to the existing drugs. Antioxidants are essential to prevent free radical reactions which lead to chronic diseases to human kind.Objective:The present studies were aimed to synthesis, characterization, antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of pyridine and benzoisothiazole decorated chalcones.Materials and Methods:FTIR spectra were recorded using KBr pellets on Shimadzu FT-IR spectrophotometer. 1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded on Bruker 400 MHz spectrometer. Antimicrobial activity of the synthesized chalcones was found to be good against diffenet bacterial and fungal strains. Antioxidant activity was studied in terms of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl, hydroxyI and superoxide radical scavenging activities. Molecular docking was studied using Discovery Studio Visualizer Software, version 16 whereas Autodock Vina program was used to predict toxicity profile of the compounds using FAFDrugs2 predictor.Results:The compounds 5c, 5d & 6c showed good antioxidant activities. The insilico molecular docking study supports the experimental results and demonstrated that the chalcones 5d, 6a and 7a are the most active among the synthesized derivatives.Conclusion:Prediction of pharmacokinetic parameters and molecular docking studies suggest that the synthesized chalcones have good pharmacokinetic properties to act as lead molecules in the drug discovery process.
Fast and Accurate Hop-based Positioning based on Anchor-skeleton for Anisotropic Networks
Authors: Dou Rulin , Shi Weijuan 
Published: April 2020

Background:
The hop-based positioning method is a straightforward, low-cost, and feasible
positioning method.

Methods:
Most previous hop-based algorithms assume that the network is isotropic and uniformly
distributed, which often does not reflect real-world conditions. In practice, the network may be anisotropic,
which makes the hop count between nodes may not match the real distance well.

Results:
As a result of this issue for hop-based positioning methods, in this paper, we propose a
novel scheme that builds a skeleton model between anchor nodes to represent the anisotropy of a
network. During the process of building the skeleton model, we use the corrected Akaike's Information
Criterion (AICc), which can assist in the construction of a reliable and high accuracy skeleton
model. With the help of the skeleton model with AICc, an unknown node can get a more accurate
and reliable estimated position.

Conclusion:
The results of both theoretical analysis and experimental simulation show that the optimal
hop-distance conversion model can be achieved, and compared to other similar algorithms,
the proposed algorithm can obtain the position estimation result in a fast and accurate manner.
Bacteria-based self-healing concrete: evaluation of full scale demonstrator projects
Authors: Mors Renée , Jonkers Henk M. 
Published: April 2020

Bacteria-based self-healing concrete is an innovative concrete that contains a self-healing agent that provides the material with enhanced autonomous crack-sealing performance. A specific type of this concrete, based on a healing agent composed of bacterial spores and lactate as carbon source, has been developed and applied by the Delft University of Technology for over ten years. Under laboratory conditions it was proven that, depending on the dosage of healing agent, self-healing of cracks up to 0.8 mm widths occurs. As such the material potentially allows reduction of steel reinforcement used for crack width limitation in watertight constructions. Application of self-healing concrete would therefore not only result in a reduction of costs but also in improvement of environmental performance (lower CO2 footprint) and ease of in situ casting due to reduction of use of steel in waterproof applications. However, according to the EN 1990 Eurocode (Basis of structural design), customary application of a novel type of concrete must be preceded by full scale demonstrators proving evidence for safe and functional performance. In this contribution we portray full scale application of bacteria-based self-healing agent as developed by the Delft research group in two repair mortar- and in two concrete construction demonstrator projects. These demonstrator projects show that addition of the bacteria-based self-healing agent to the concrete mix is safe as no negative side effects on construction performance was observed. However, it also proved difficult to find evidence for increased crack-healing performance as cracking in the demonstrator constructions hardly occurred. In further full scale demonstrators we therefore plan to drastically reduce amount of crack width-restraining reinforcement to show crack-healing capacity and potential to save on use of reinforcement steel in watertight concrete constructions.

As áreas verdes influenciam nas condições climáticas e no bem estar social, melhorando a qualidade de vida da população e trazendo contribuições em âmbito ecológico. O escopo do trabalho foi avaliar a qualidade ambiental do Parque da Jaqueira – Recife, Pernambuco, a partir de um censo quantitativo das árvores, classificando-as por espécie e quanto à natureza, nativa ou exótica. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que o Parque possui uma rica diversidade de espécies arbóreas com 633 indivíduos, distribuídos em 49 espécies e 23 famílias botânicas. Dentre as espécies quantificadas 344 (54,34%) foram de origem nativa e 289 (45,65%) exótica. Com isso, concluímos que apesar de uma arborização satisfatória, o elevado número de espécies exóticas encontrados sugerem possíveis riscos de desequilíbrios ecológicos. A B S T R A C T Urban Green areas has influence on climate conditions and social welfare, improving the quality of life of people and bringing contributions to ecological context. The objective was to make a quantitative census of the trees of the Park Jaqueira - Recife, Pernambuco, sorting by type and nature as native or exotic. The results obtained show that the park has a rich diversity of tree species with 633 individuals, including 49 species and 23 botanical families. Among the quantified species 344 (54,34%) were native and 289 exotic origin (45,65%). Under these circumstances, we conclude that despite a satisfactory afforestation, the high number of exotic species found suggest the potential for ecological imbalances.
