Authors: Ntlokonkulu Zukiswa Brenda , Rala Ntombana Mcdeline , Goon Daniel Ter 
Published: January 2019

Background
Newly qualified midwives are expected to exhibit some level of confidence in practice when they enter the clinical environment.

Objective
To explore the lived experiences of student midwives after exposure to medium-fidelity simulation concerning confidence and satisfaction.

Methods
This qualitative, interpretive, phenomenological analysis study was conducted on a purposive sample of five, fourth-year Baccalaureate of Nursing Science student midwives at the University of Fort Hare. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted. Data analysis applied the interpretative phenomenological analysis approach.

Results
Superordinate theme sense of fulfilment elicited six sub-ordinate themes namely 1) Transferability of skills 2) Knowledgeable 3) Equipment used during simulation 4) Realism of simulation 4) Sense of accomplishment 5) Sure/unsure of performance. The use of a standardised patient during the simulation instead of a mannequin prepared participants for the real clinical environment. After being involved in the simulation, participants became more inquisitive regarding the management of the simulated condition. Satisfaction with simulation depended on whether the simulation activity met the student’s expectations, and if the simulation equipment resembled real clinical equipment. Post-partum haemorrhage simulation bridged the gap between theory and practice.

Conclusion
Confidence and satisfaction of student midwives during simulation is depended on the realism of the simulated activity. Exposure to simulated activity increases student knowledge. The student acknowledged that simulation can bridge the gap between theory and practice.

Authors: Revy Alban , Hallouard François , Joyeux-Klamber Sandrine , Skanjeti Andrea , Rioufol Catherine , Fraysse Marc 
Published: January 2019

Objective:
Recent gallium-68 labeled peptides are of increasing interest in PET imaging in
nuclear medicine. Somakit TOC® is a radiopharmaceutical kit registered in the European Union for the
preparation of [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TOC used for the diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumors. Development
of a labeling process using a synthesizer is particularly interesting for the quality and reproducibility of
the final product although only manual processes are described in the Summary of Product (SmPC) of
the registered product. The aim of the present study was therefore to evaluate the feasibility and value
of using an automated synthesizer for the preparation of [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TOC according to the SmPC
of the Somakit TOC®.

Methods:
Three methods of preparation were compared; each followed the SmPC of the Somakit
TOC®. Over time, overheads, and overexposure were evaluated for each method.

Results:
Mean±SD preparation time was 26.2±0.3 minutes for the manual method, 28±0.5 minutes for
the semi-automated, and 40.3±0.2 minutes for the automated method. Overcost of the semi-automated
method is 0.25€ per preparation for consumables and from 0.58€ to 0.92€ for personnel costs according
to the operator (respectively, technician or pharmacist). For the automated method, overcost is 70€
for consumables and from 4.06€ to 6.44€ for personnel. For the manual method, extremity exposure
was 0.425mSv for the right finger, and 0.350mSv for the left finger; for both the semi-automated and
automated method extremity exposure were below the limit of quantification.

Conclusion:
The present study reports for the first time both the feasibility of using a [68Ga]-
radiopharmaceutical kit with a synthesizer and the limits for the development of a fully automated
process.
Spectroscopic and Chromatographic Characterization of Crude Natural Shilajit from Himachal Pradesh, India
Authors: Mishra Tanuja , Sircar Debabrata , Dhaliwal Harcharan Singh , Singh Nasib 
Published: January 2019

Background:
Shilajit is a natural herbomineral ethnomedicinal substance used in Indian
traditional systems of medicine since centuries as a rejuvenator, anti-aging and for several health
conditions/ailments. Shilajit composition has exhibited considerable variability from different geographical
sites and hence there is a need to determine its composition and concentration of bioactive
compounds to correlate it with pharmacological activities.

Objective:
To determine the chemical and mineral constitution of Shilajit obtained from Himachal
Pradesh, India.

Methods:
In the present study, Shilajit was chemically characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared
(FTIR) spectroscopy, Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), Inductively-Coupled
Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), UV-Vis spectroscopy and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography
(HPLC) analysis.

Results:
Chemical elucidation of crude Shilajit from three geographical sites revealed the presence
of humic acid, fulvic acid, dibenzo-α-pyrones and several other organic constituents in crude Shilajit.
The presence of metals/trace elements was evident in Shilajit samples with potassium being predominant
followed by magnesium, calcium, sodium, iron and aluminium.

Conclusion:
Characterization of Shilajit from Himachal Pradesh supported the structural details of
Shilajit already known and also revealed variations in key chemical parameters which might be due
to geographical variations and ecological conditions which determine its natural synthesis.
Antimicrobial and Antioxidant Compounds in Endophyte Isolate L-003 Obtained from the Aquatic Plant Nelumbo nucifera
Authors: Chakravorty Papiya , Srivastava Nidhi , Ibeyaima Ahongshangbam , Sarethy Indira P. 
Published: January 2019

Background:Microorganisms from understudied habitats have been shown to be an important source of novel bioactive compounds. Endophytes constitute an underexplored group of microorganisms, of which those from aquatic plants have been even less studied. Nelumbo nucifera (lotus) is an aquatic plant with medicinal properties. A screening program for endophytes from N. nucifera by our research group resulted in many microbial isolates, of which isolate L-003 was a promising candidate, exhibiting antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.Objectives:The major objectives were to characterize the endophyte L-003 for its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, identify the constituent bioactive compounds by GC-MS and characterize their activities further using in silico software.Methods:L-003 was identified by PIBWin software. Antimicrobial activity of the aqueous and organic extracts of culture supernatant of L-003 was checked against a panel of bacteria and fungi. Since the ethyl acetate extract showed the best antimicrobial activity, it was further characterized by thin layer chromatography, an activity confirmed by bioautography and purified by column chromatography. Total antioxidant capacity was assayed by standard techniques. Partially purified metabolite fingerprints were identified by GC-MS analysis.Results:Based on morphological and biochemical analyses, isolate L-003 was identified as belonging to Streptococcus sp. All the organic solvent extracts showed antimicrobial activity. Ethyl acetate extract showed maximum antimicrobial activity against all selected targets and exhibited antioxidant activity too, though butanol and aqueous extracts showed higher antioxidant activity. Two compounds, Acetic acid,-hydroxy, methyl ester and Disulfide, dipropyl, were identified by GC-MS in the metabolite fingerprint. These compounds showed differences in observed and calculated retention indices and could, therefore, be novel. In silico activity, characterization confirmed the antimicrobial and antioxidant properties attributed to these compounds.Conclusion:This is the first study reporting metabolite fingerprinting, identification and characterization of bioactive compounds from an endophytic isolate of Nelumbo nucifera. We conclude that endophytes from aquatic plants could be prospective sources of bioactive compounds, in this case with antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.

Mindfulness in Western Contexts Perpetuates Oppressive Realities for Minority Cultures
Authors: Ishikawa Maria 
Published: January 2019

This paper examines mindfulness-based practices in North American classrooms as culturally appropriated through the dominantly western modality of individualism and scientific-rationalism. Through investigating MindUP™ and other mindfulness teaching resources, I demonstrate the construed qualities of mindfulness practices in western contexts. I argue that mindfulness is molded to fit colonial ontologies of values and knowledge and perpetuates oppressive realities for minority cultures. I propose that mindfulness should be reoriented into its Buddhist contexts through required lessons and trainings in Buddhist cultures, ontologies, and knowledges, and creators and supporters of mindfulness-based educational programs should refer to the practices they are promoting as attention-focusing and stress-reduction strategies and not as misconstrued, individualistic qualities of mindfulness. This paper intends to extend awareness to the broader sociopolitical consequences of culturally appropriating mindfulness practices.

Published: January 2019

The mullet Liza klunzingeri, locally known as maid, is an important commercial species in Kuwait and accounts for up to 16% of the total finfish landings. To determine the seasonal and spatial distributions of juvenile maid, a small-mesh seine net was employed monthly at seven selected coastal sites during the period from November 2013 through October 2014. Semicircular sweeps of the 30 m long, two-meters high seine covered an area of approximately 1,400 m2. Juvenile maid were captured at most of the sampling sites during the entire investigation period, but mainly in spring and summer, indicating a wide coastal distribution of this species. The highest catches of juveniles occurred in May with an average of 30.2 kg per sweep, corresponding to a density of 22 g/m2. Catches of juveniles from sampling sites in or just south of the Kuwait Bay, near prime maid fishing grounds, were much higher than those from more southerly sampling sites. The captured maid ranged in total length (TL) from 18 to 179 mm, with a high peak at 41 to 50 mm. By-catch included thirty species, with hasoom (Sillago sihama), Imchawah (Diplodus sargus kotschyi), and yowaff (Nematalosa nasus) being the most common. The by-catch consisted mostly of juveniles with lengths less than100 mm TL, showing the importance of the intertidal and coastal waters for many species.

Pandangan Masyarakat Terhadap Anak di Bawah Umur yang Mengonsumsi Minuman Ballo di Kecamatan Pallangga Kabupaten Gowa Perspektif Hukum Islam
Authors: Kadir Munawir 
Published: January 2019

faktor yang melatar belakangi anak di bawah umur mengonsumsi minuman ballo di Kecamatan Pallangga Kabupaten Gowa diantaranya yaitu karena rasa ingin tahu, karena pengaruh lingkungan pergaulannya, kurangnya kontrol dan pengawasan dari orang tua, karena kurangnya pendidikan agama, serta mudahnya minuman ballo tersebut diperoleh. Sedangkan dari pandangan masyarakat terkait kendala dalam mencegah konsumsi minuman ballo oleh anak di Kecamatan Pallangga Kabupaten Gowa diantaranya yaitu karena kurangnya kontrol aparat keamanan, kurangnya kerjasama antara masyarakat dan pihak kepolisian, kurangnya kontrol warga sekitar, masih banyak yang membuat dan menjual ballo, kurangnya kontrol pemerintah setempat. Sementara sanksi terhadap anak yang mengonsumsi ballo di Kecamatan Pallangga Kabupaten Gowa menurut hukum Islam yaitu warga sekitar kepada anak yang mengonsumsi ballo biasanya memberikan sanksi pengajaran seperti memarahi atau diberikan sanksi sosial oleh masyarakat, sedangkan penerapan sanksi dari pihak kepolisian yang diberikan kepada anak di bawah umur yang mengonsumsi minuman ballo adalah sanksi pembinaan atau mendidik dan memberikan pengajaran agar anak tersebut tidak melakukan perbuatan seperti itu kembali, serta aparat juga memberikan arahan kepada orang tua/ wali anak tersebut agar anak tersebut bisa lebih dibina, diperhatikan, diawasi dan dididik dengan baik agar tidak sampai mengulangi perbuatannya, namun sanksi yang seperti itu sebenarnya sesuai dengan ajaran hukum Islam dalam menerapkan sanksi kepada anak yaitu hanya memarahi untuk memberikan pengajaran kepada anak tersebut untuk tidak mengulangi perbuatannya kembali, karena dalam hukum Islam ada yang namanya Ta’dibi yaitu hukuman yang bersifat mendidik terhadap anak yang melakukan pelanggaran seperti mengonsumsi minuman keras, Para ahli fikih menerima hukuman pemukulan dan pencelaan atau menegur sebagai bagian dari hukuman untuk mendidik. Implikasi dari penelitian ini adalah: 1) Kontrol orang tua terhadap anaknya. Hal ini tujuannya agar orang tua dapat mengawasi keseharian atau perilaku anak. Selain itu juga orang tua juga mesti mengetahui tentang pergaulan anaknya baik itu di sekolah maupun di lingkungan bermain. 2) Pemerintah dituntut lebih efektif dalam menangani permasalahan minuman keras ini. Dengan rutin melakukan bimbingan dan penyuluhan terkait dengan minuman keras tersebut. Hal ini menyangkut tentang masa depan anak karena anak merupakan penerus masa depan Negara. 3) Masyarakat dapat berperan aktif dalam mengawasi para remaja yang anti sosial, jangan bersikap acuh tak acuh terhadap konsumsi minuman ballo yang dilakukan oleh anak dilingkungannya. Hal ini bisa dilakukan dengan melakukan pemeriksaan dan pengawasan terhadap lingkungan sekitar tempat tinggal dalam pergaulan anak.
The basis of competition as a social phenomenon and its features in professional activity
Authors: Emelyanova L. A. 
Published: January 2019

The author analyzes the fundamentals of social competition and its specific features in Russia. As the basic prerequisites for social competition, the author considers the activity in which its subjects enter into various forms of interaction and relationships, including competitive ones, objective and subjective differences between people and their communities — historical, socio-political, socio-economic, socio-cultural, international. Competition manifests itself in developing living and social systems, from which stem its two main varieties — biological and social, between which there is continuity. In the living nature, competition is manifested, as shown by Charles Darwin, within one species and between different species, in the fight against life conditions, leads to the natural selection and evolution of species. Competition in society has its own characteristics. At the same time, competition in the animal world and society, as P. Kropotkin has shown, is associated with various forms of cooperation, mutual assistance, which are dominant and more conducive to progress than competition. The transition of Russia from the socialist system of public relations with a planned economy to a capitalist system with a market system of development created the foundations of competition in the country. This transition is influenced by traditional socio-cultural characteristics, as well as current processes in society and in the world.Th is article considers the competition of collective subjects of professional activity as one of the types of social competition, its structure, typology, and basic functions are revealed. Competition is defined as a system of interaction of individual, group and collective subjects of professional activity, characterized by the achievement of goals of activity and advantages in the context of confrontation with those pursuing the same goals and advantages by other actors.

Published: January 2019

Almost all the palaeolithic sites in Cabbenge, Soppeng are on the banks of the Walennae River, both located on ancient river terraces as well as those that exist today. Considering the Walennae River is located in Bone District (Bontocani region), it is very possible in the Bone region connected to the Walennae River, there are palaeolithic sites that contemporary with the oldest occupancy in Soppeng District. This has been guided by the results of the thesis study of Archaeology Departement of Hasanuddin University students, in 1990 of Mallinrung area, Libureng, Bone, which reported the first time that lithic artefacts were found in the area, including those with the characteristics of palaeolithic technology. In the framework of expanding the potential area of palaeolithic archaeological remains on the banks of the Walennae River, this study focused on the Bone West region, including Bengo, Lamuru, Lappariaja, Kahu and Libureng Districts. Exploration surveys are intended to obtain information on the distribution of sites related to palaeolithic potential in the region. The results of the study showed the development of the technology of the palaeolithic stone tools, including flakes, hand-held axes, impact axes, and axe axes. Technological developments in stone tools and palaeolithic culture in the Bone West region, as well as showing palaeolithic cultural connectivity both in the Soppeng region and in the Old Walennae depressed regions, especially in the Bone West region. Hampir semua situs paleolitik di Cabbenge, Soppeng berada di tepi Sungai Walennae, baik yang terletak di teras sungai purba maupun yang ada sekarang ini. Mengingat Sungai Walennae berhulu di Kabupaten Bone (wilayah Bontocani), maka sangat memungkinkan di wilayah Bone yang terkoneksi dengan Sungai Walennae, terdapat situs-situs paleolitik yang sejaman dengan masa hunian tertua di wialayah Kabupaten Soppeng. Hal ini telah dipandu oleh hasil penelitian skripsi mahasiswa arekeologi, Unhas tahun 1990 di wilayah Mallinrung, Libureng, Bone yang melaporkan pertama kali bahwa di daerah tersebut ditemukan artefak litik, termasuk yang memiliki ciri teknologi paleolitik. Dalam kerangka memperluas area potensi tinggalan arkeologi jaman paleolitik di tepi Sungai Walennae, penelitian ini difokuskan pada wilayah Bone Barat, meliputi Kecamatan Bengo, Lamuru, Lappariaja, Kahu dan Libureng. Survei eksploratif dimaksudkan untuk memperoleh informasi sebaran situs terkait potensi paleolitik di wilayah tersebut. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan perkembangan teknologi alat batu paeolitik, diantaranya: alat serpih, kapak genggam, kapak perimbas, dan kapak penetak. Perkembangan teknologi alat batu dan budaya paleolitik di wilayah Bone Barat, sekaligus menunjukkan konektivitas budaya paleolitik baik di wilayah Soppeng maupun wilayah-wilayah depresi Walennae Purba khususnya di wilayah Bone Barat.

Authors: Almasdi Almasdi 
Published: January 2019

The research aims to see the level of entrepreneurship of vegetable farmers in six sub-districts in Kabupaten Agam, particularly specialized and diversified vegetable farmer. The research is explanatory research, using 200 respondents taken by quota sampling proportionally. Farmer entrepreneurship level is measured using the Entrepreneurship Behavior Index (EBI). The result shows the overall level of entrepreneurship of vegetable farmers in six districts in Kabupaten Agam in the medium category that is equal to 69%,Â Farmers who specialize in vegetable crops have higher levels of entrepreneurship than vegetable farmers who choose to diversified vegetable cultivation. The specialized vegetable farmerÂ have greater degree of decision making ability compared to diversified vegetable farmer. Diversified vegetable farmer concerned more on economic motives than specialized farmer. Risk taking ability also revealed difference tendencyÂ among specialized and diversified vegetable farmer. Specialized vegetable farmer have bigger information seekingÂ capability, meanwhile diversified vegetable farmers are stronger for their leadership capability. The implications of this study that the entrepreneurial spirit vegetable growers is a variable that can provide reinforcement for the implementation of specialized cultivation systems. This means that if the entrepreneurial ability of farmers can be further improved, then with the application of specialized cultivation systems in vegetable crops, farmers will be able to create value-added products or produce derivative products from vegetable commodities produced.
