Published: May 2018

The aim of the present research is to investigate the existing practices of linking competence assessment to organizational goal-setting in various organisations in Latvia. The importance of linking employee competences to goal-setting within organizations has been established in scientific literature. Nevertheless, there is evidence gathered in this interdisciplinary research that existing methods of competence assessment used by various organizations in Latvia do not translate well into organizational goal-setting. The research is based on information gathered from semi-structured interviews with representatives of managerial positions in private and public, including educational service organizations (26 in total). Additionally, publicly available development plans are analysed. Empirical data are analysed according to a conceptual framework of criteria impacting the goal-setting process. Three subsets of criteria are used that guided interview question formulation and interview data analysis: formulation of a goal; employee’s ability to reach the assigned goal; employee’s self-assessment on his/her ability to reach the assigned goal. Analysis of the results indicate that when setting goals and assessing employee competences in relation to those goals, management decisions are greatly guided by subjective approaches. Such identified approaches in observed private and public service organizations indicate common risks that are discussed in this research.

Published: May 2018

Russian Army Headquarters and Maritime Fleet planned to build a sea and land fortress, and Major General Ivan Alfred McDonald developed a project on August 30, 1892. Near Naval Port and the Lake Tosmare Apparent Heir’s Grove and residential buildings with streets were built. Residential buildings were built in “New World” – land between Romny Railway and Grobin Highway. In Liepaja 1922 administrative border plan development was started to include the Lake Liepaja’s northern part into the urban territory. Low-rise residential buildings of Aspazija’s (former Apparent Heir’s) Grove were supplemented. Research issue – building structure and development of residential buildings of Libava Maritime fortress territory has been studied insufficiently. Novelty characteristics – low-rise residential buildings’ construction and street network of Apparent Heir’s Grove has been analysed. Research goal – analyse “New World” and low-rise residential building and planning of the Lake Tosmare surroundings till World War II. Principal research methods – planning and construction observation in nature, archive and cartographic material analysis. Brief description of research outcomes: fortress built on the Baltic Seacoast affected further development of the territory. Nowadays development of qualitative architectonic space without historical development analysis is impossible.

Published: May 2018

Hypothesis/aims of study. Questions regarding the pathogenesis of urine incontinence and methods of treatment are acti vely discussed by gynecologists, urologists, and neuropathologists. Urine incontinence often has multifactor origins: the causes of urine incontinence are connected, as a rule, with the violation of urine continence functional mechanisms, anatomotopographical features of the lower urinary tract, or an premature ovarian failure. Simultaneously, changes in kidney function play a role in the pathogenesis of urine incontinence. In some cases, urine incontinence is combined with urine overproduction or inversion of the circadian rhythm of renal function owing to a decrease in the reabsorption of sodium ions in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle. In some patients, we successfully normalized ion transport, diuresis, and circadian rhythm of urine production by desmopressin or diclofenac administration. The present analysis was undertaken to evaluate the clinical efficiency of desmopressin and diclofenac in incontinent patients with nocturnal polyuria and polyuria.
Study design, materials, and methods. In total, 130 patients with complaints of urinary incontinence, polyuria (24-h urine volume of 40 mL/kg bodyweight or above), or nocturnal polyuria (nocturnal volume/24-h urine volume of 0.33 or above); 30 incontinent women without polyuria or nocturnal polyuria (comparison group); and 14 control subjects were included. The mean patient age was 43.6 ± 4.5 years (41.8 ± 3.7 years in the comparison group and 39.4 ± 6.3 years in the control group, p > 0.05). All the participants performed seven days of urine collection to determine the voided volumes. Patients with polyuria or nocturnal polyuria performed the 3-fold 24-h pad-test. Patients with polyuria and nocturnal polyuria were examined twice: in the initial state and one month after the start of treatment with the optimal dose of diclofenac or desmopressin (Minirin).
Results. The use of both diclofenac or desmopressin in patients with various types of urine incontinence, polyuria, or nocturia decreased the volume of voided urine because of the normalization of diuresis and an increase in cystometric bladder capacity.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine how often myocardial infarction in abruptly dying persons with or without known coronary heart disease could be found as well as to estimate the severity of atheromatosis in correlation to gender and age. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was designed using data from clinical records of 184 cases of adults who submitted with sudden death and underwent autopsy during a period of one year. We studied the demographic characteristics, season and location of death. Symptoms, smoking, alcohol and drug use, circumstances of death were also record. Coronary arteries findings in autopsy, heart weight, localization of myocardial infarction and the presence of an old myocardial infraction were record from autopsy report. Results: 92 patients (54 male, 38 female mean aged 64.8 years) met the inclusion criteria. In the majority of cases an acute myocardial infraction was certified during autopsy (92.4%). Grading severity of coronary arteries lesions in most of cases they characterized as severe (75%), and only in two cases they found to be normal. Males were more possible to have moderate or severe lesions in coronary arteries compared with females. Severe atheromatosis was found in older victims more frequent compare to younger. Conclusions: Acute myocardial infarction is a common autopsy finding among victims of sudden cardiac death. Old-aged myocardial infraction also can be identified in many cases and the severity of atheromatic lesions extends by age.

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) can be the easiest or the most difficult laparoscopic operation. Conversion to open surgery has been a traditional marker of difficult LC. Recent studies have shown that C-reactive protein (CRP) may be helpful to surgeon in knowing the pathological condition of gall bladder before removal. Aim of this study was to evaluate the role of CRP as a predictor of difficult LC or its conversion.Methods: This study was done from 1 march 2016 to may 2017 in department of general surgery, SMS hospital Jaipur, under single unit. All patients with cholelithiasis admitted in single unit of SMS hospital undergoing LC were included in this study. Exclusion criteria were high BMI (>35), proven congenital anomaly of gall bladder, previous abdominal surgery, any conditions increasing CRP and immunocompromised patients. CRP was done for each patient.Results: Mean age of our 148 patients was 50.41 years. Female to male ratio was 4.28:1. Mean CRP was 22.2±18.2 mg/dl for simple cholecystectomy, 46.5±32.0 mg/dl for difficult cholecystectomy and 83.6±22.4 mg/dl for laparoscopic converted to open cholecystectomy, which was statistically significant (p value 0.0002).Conclusions: CRP is a potent predictor of difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy and its conversion preoperatively. Patients with preoperatively high CRP have higher chance of complication intraoperative and high chances of conversion to open.
Introduction of New Theory for Hand Hygiene Surveillance: Healthcare Environment Theory
Authors: Kurtz Sharon Lea 
Published: May 2018

Background and Purpose:The purpose of this article is to introduce a theoretical foundation, the healthcare environment theory (HET), tested in a quantitative, cross-sectional, overt observational study measuring the association of demographic variables with consistent hand hygiene compliance of the ICU nurse.Methods:Six environments found in a hospital ICU setting (family, church, work, administration, community, and culture) work bi-directionally to influence and be influenced by the nurse, simultaneously influencing each of the other environments in a multidirectional manner. The HET was used as the theoretical foundation for a study, which included a convenience sample of registered nurses (RNs) from five ICUs (64 participating RNs) in four hospitals in Texas who were observed for a total of 18 days (144 hours). The desired sample size of 613 hand hygiene opportunities for each ICU was obtained in 3 days of observation at 3 ICUs, 4 days in one ICU, and 5 days in one ICU. The six environments were used to support the results observed.Results:Through the variables of age and having children, hand hygiene rates were influenced by the family environment. Community environment was associated with a change in hand hygiene behavior in hospital hand hygiene rates in regards to age of the nurse. Younger nurses had higher hand hygiene compliance rates than older nurses.Implications for Practice:The different hospital environments surrounding the nurse can be used to explain hand hygiene compliance rates in association with demographic variables.
Um rascunho para a semântica de muito: explorando a Semântica de Delineação
Authors: Oliveira Roberta Pires de , Souza Luisandro Mendes de 
Published: May 2018

Este artigo propõe uma semântica para muito modificador de verbos. Essa proposta estende a Semântica de Delineação (KLEIN, 1980; BURNETT, 2014; 2015) para o domínio dos eventos. muito P, em suas várias manifestações (modificando verbos, adjetivos ou nomes), é uma função que denota o conjunto dos que estão na extensão positiva do predicado. A análise assume que há eventos na ontologia (PARSONS, 1990), que se estruturam em reticulados (KRIFKA, 1983; ROTHSTEIN, no prelo). A comparação com advérbios como a lot (‘muito’; inglês) e beaucoup (‘muito’; francês) mostra esses modificadores compartilham leituras (frequência, duração e quantidade de objetos ou suas partições) e restrições (i.e. não se combinam com accomplishments). Com estados, esses advérbios produzem leitura de intensidade, porque estados são de-adjetivais e adjetivos ordenam os objetos em extensões positivas, negativas ou vagas. Explicamos as leituras e as restrições assumindo que muito pressupõe mais de um (de eventos, de momentos no tempo, de objetos ou porções de objetos) e opera sobre ordenações dadas na ontologia, mas indicadas contextualmente pela classe de comparação.

Growth of animal husbandry require to be supported by various production equipment, one of them is feed availability. Feed material source of energy come from corn, cassava, paddy bran, grist bran, sago and others, while feed materials source of protein come from soybeans by product, fish meal, leaf leguminous, blood flour and others. Feed materials contain fibrous are grass, paddy hay, sugar cane sprout, husk of cacao and by-product from agriculture food crop represent the feed materials which is exploited for the livestock of ruminants, like cattle, sheep or goat. Opportunity to use agriculture by-product as feed in livestock will represent the challenge and at the same time also to optimize local resources which during the time not yet been exploited efficiently. On the other side, animal husbandry has the constraint in the case of supplying the demand of meat and animal stock. Through the approach of LEISA (low external input sustainable agriculture), every hectare agriculture field can produce feed material for feeding 2-3 cattle. In this case, livestock personating as compost factory, together with crop by product, which is finally the compost utilized as organic fertilizer for crop. In the effort improving livestock population with the low production cost, pattern of integration between livestock with the plantation and forest, needs to be developed through technical, social and also economic. One of the success key from this pattern in there no materials which unused, and also exploiting innovate correctly and efficient. Through pattern applying integration crop and livestock by external approach of low input, will be provide a livestock product that have a competitive value. For the reason, in the future livestock production through the integration system with crop become enough to draw and have good enough opportunity to be achieved.

Published: May 2018

The authors proceed from the assumption that, according to modern psychology and some other humanities, senses are the main unit of the person’s consciousness; they are the highest level of his/her life activity self-regulation. Hence it follows that sense-creation of learners must be a dominant orientation of the educational process and especially learning as the main mechanism of education. This circumstance requires solving of a number of practical problems in passing to a sense paradigm of the educational process. The teacher’s (lecture’s) acquisition of an inherently new didactic thesaurus within which he/she reinterprets classical concepts of the content, methods, technologies, and goal-setting of education is one of such problems. This involves the necessity of a corresponding transformation of traditional, cognitive competences of learners to sense-activity, sense-creative ones. Communication of the teacher and the pupil, the lecturer and the student changes considerably, becoming a sense resonance. The authors solve these and other problems systemically and completely connected with reconsideration of pedagogical practices on the basis of sense-creative activity of the educational process participants.

Published: May 2018

The author of the article proceeds from the assumption that students’ sensemaking during English lessons is a powerful tool of development of motivation and personality. In this paper we prove that a driving force of sense-making is an exchange of values between teacher and students. The article represents the essence of mechanisms of impact on students’ sense sphere. The procedure of coding of sense sphere that causes certain model of behavior is shown. The first step isfinding of extra motives. The second step is a choice of verbal and visual image for establishing sense-bearing links. Also the article underlines the importance of English lessons’ integration into major subjects for increasing meaningfulness of both subjects and appearing of new senses. In that case we deal with interconnectionof personal senses and the content of education. Due to the above mentioned fact the content of education is a thing that causes students’ development and academic progress. The article describes methods, which were used for sense-making activization. Among these methods are heuristic conceptual foresight, analytical method, brainstorming. Method of heuristic conceptual foresight allows predict some events by means of analyses of the past and present experience. Analyticalmethod allows to find out the interconnection between the object and factors influencing this object. Brainstorming allows to get a big amount of productive ideas. The article describes psychological peculiarities of students’ age group that contributes to achieving of the aim of the research. In this paper we prove a significant advantage of the sense-making activity for the development of students’ personality.

The article deals with features of the experience of fear in soldiers. Symptoms, factors, catalysts, and functions of fear are analyzed. The influence of fear on soldiers’ behavior is considered; phenomena of psychological contagion and defeat are revealed. The nature of fear and features of its manifestation during hostilities are described. The authors bring forward results of studies of military theorists andpsychologists concerning a disorganizing role of fear. However, the authors consider fear as a natural, necessary and useful reaction of the soldier to danger. At the same time the dynamics of the experience and psychological consequences of fear are described; its impact on combat operations is revealed. Concrete and real examples illustrating moral-psychological capabilities of soldiers experiencing fear are given.An activizing role of fear, its constructive functions are described. Some aspects of soldiers’ psychological state and catalytic properties of fear are analyzed. In this context fear is one of the most “power-intensive” emotions of the person. The directions of the use of fear as a resource of military activity of soldiers are substantiated.Features of the regulation of fear are described; the necessity of the development of social motives (love of country, belief in God, justice, victory; hatred for the enemy; sense of duty etc.) of soldiers is substantiated. Psychological mechanisms of the regulation of fear are analyzed. In the conclusion the authors outline perspectivedirections of the development of military psychology and indicate the relevance of practice-oriented methods and techniques aimed at influences directed on mobilization of psychological resources of soldiers, controlling fear, optimization of their moral-psychological state, and activization of activity.
