Mesalazine to Treat Symptomatic Uncomplicated Diverticular Disease and to Prevent Acute Diverticulitis Occurrence. A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis of Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trials
Authors: Picchio Marcello , Elisei Walter , Tursi Antonio 
Published: September 2018

Background & Aims: Symptomatic Uncomplicated Diverticular disease (SUDD) affects about 25% of patients harboring colonic diverticula. We assessed the effectiveness of mesalazine in improving symptoms (namely abdominal pain, primary outcome) and in preventing diverticulitis occurrence (secondary outcome) in patients with SUDD.
Methods: Pertinent studies were selected from the Medline and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Only randomized clinical trials (RCTs) (irrespective of language, blinding, or publication status), which compared mesalazine, irrespective of the dosage assumption, with placebo in SUDD were evaluated.
Results: Four RCTs enrolled 379 patients, 197 treated with mesalazine and 182 with placebo. Two studies provided data on symptom relief according to definition: it was achieved in 97/121 (80%) patients in the mesalazine group and in 81/129 (62.7%) patients in the placebo group (OR 0.43; 95% CI 0.24-0.75; p=0.003 in favour of the mesalazine group). Two studies provided information regarding occurrence of diverticulitis during follow-up. It occurred in 23/119 (19.3%) patients in the mesalazine group and in 34/102 (33.3%) patients in the placebo group (OR 0.35; 95% CI 0.17-0.70; p=0.003 in favour of the mesalazine group).
Conclusions: Treatment with mesalazine seems to be effective in achieving symptom relief and in the primary prevention of diverticulitis in patients with SUDD.

Published: September 2018

Results of corrosion survey for stainless steel tanks used in water storage at various coastal areas are presented. Corrosion damages were revealed at both the outer and inner surfaces of tanks made of 304 and 201 steel grades. Corrosion deterioration was more severely observed for the atmospheric areas with higher airborne salinity and time of wetness. Corrosion products examined by visual inspection and SEM-EDX technique show relatively distinctive characteristics for outer and inner surfaces which are attributed to different mechanisms of corrosion initiated by various corrosive agents in the atmosphere. Atmospheric chlorides from airborne sources are considered the main reason for causing corrosion of 304 and 201 steel grade water tanks.

Coating systems based on zinc rich primer and fluoropolymer top coat were exposed for 8 years at different atmospheric stations in Vietnam: Hanoi, Ha Long and Nha Trang. For comparison the coating system with zinc rich primer and polyurethane topcoat was also tested. The degradations of coating systems were evaluated by gloss measurement and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The obtained results show that coating systems with zinc rich primer and top coatings based on fluoropolymer and polyurethane topcoats show very high weather resistance and corrosion protection performance, but the systems with fluoropolymer are better than coating system with polyurethane topcoat.

Divergencia entre valor y precio del trabajo. ¿ Una explicación a la inequidad en la distribución de la riqueza creada?
Authors: Silva Colmenares Julio 
Published: September 2018

This paper presents the author’s reflections about the concepts of value and price of human labor, as a theoretical initial part of a larger research that aims to advance the analysis applied to the situation found in some countries or regions, with emphasis in the Colombian case. This part begins with some thoughts on two phenomena inherent to capitalism and has a close relationship with the unequal distribution of wealth: the complementary process of concentration of production and centralization of capital and the eventual change observed in the recurring crises of capitalism, that every time obeys less to overproduction and more to subconsumption. Next is reviewed the essential contribution of Karl Marx on the dual character of human labor, both as abstract labor, creator of exchange value, and concrete labor, as creator of use value. Marx, himself, considerated this contribution more important that his conception of plusvalía, since that gives support to this one, precedes to capitalism and helps to explain the growing inequality mentioned. In order to finalize, some contributions on the theory of value previous to Marx were reviewed, and it concludes with the paradox that expresses certain currents of contemporary economic and social thought, while extolling the importance of human labor, reaching speak of «human capital» as the most important of any organization or society but denying any validity to the theories on value based in human labor.
Nursing Research in Italy
Authors: ZANOTTI RENZO 
Published: September 2018

Nursing in Italy is achieving a higher academic status as a result of decades of efforts in scientific knowledge development. Beginning in the 1980s, Italian nurses, supported by researchers from allied disciplines, have begun to design and implement research at the local, regional, and national level. This study is the first effort ever made to identify the main characteristics of Italian nursing research published in Italian journals. The review covers 14 years (1983–1997). Overall, 240 studies from 11 journals, research reports from books, and several conference proceedings have been considered. Inclusion criteria were based on quality of research design, considering components such as sampling, sample size, and method of data analysis. Each article was analyzed according to an interpretive scheme focusing on method of analysis, scientific merit, and authorship.Of the 240 studies reviewed, journal articles selected from ten Italian journals accounted for 175 (73%), or the majority, of reviewed sources. Sixty-five (26%) research reports complete the remaining number. The major areas of research identified include nursing practice (43%), nursing education (6%), nursing administration and professional issues (34%), and knowledge and perceptions in society and nursing (17%). The majority of the research studies utilized survey models (47%), including several retrospective and longitudinal studies, followed by exploratory or descriptive (36%) and quasi-experimental (17%) designs. Many reports failed to identify the method of sampling used in the research design. However, of those that did, convenience samples were most often used. Random sampling was rarely reported. The majority of studies employed only descriptive statistics (i.e., frequency distribution, central tendency, variability, contingency tables, and correlation). Only few studies made use of advanced statistics for testing hypotheses (parametric and non-parametric tests) among which only a low percentage cited reliability testing. In 42% of the studies, the authors were represented by a group of nurses. Nurses and physicians worked together to author another 30% of the studies. The remaining studies were authored by either individual nurses (24%) or nurses and nonmedical professionals (4%). Much of the reviewed research has been carried out by nurses who have little or no research training.
The Case for Alcohol Research as a Focus of Study by Nurse Researchers
Authors: Stevenson Joanne S. , Sommers Marilyn Sawyer 
Published: September 2018

Sixty percent of the U.S. population drinks alcohol. Although numerous investigators have shown that low-volume alcohol intake has positive influences on cardiovascular health, bone density, and cognition, there is a fine line between positive, neutral, and negative ramifications of alcohol consumption on health. Alcohol accounts for 7% of the global burden of disease and injury from all causes and for 10% to 11% of all illnesses and death each year worldwide. So alcohol use is a two-edged sword.Psychiatric nurses have a long history of involvement with alcoholic patients, and alcohol users, misusers, and abusers comprise a significant percentage of the patient load in every specialty and subspecialty of nursing. Yet nursing education has neglected this important area of content in general nursing curricula, staff development has not trained mainstream nurses to routinely assess for alcohol problems among hospital patients, and primary care providers have failed to do case finding.During the past 25 years, the federal government has funded curricular and faculty development programs to bring alcohol information into the core of health provider training. The process has been halting and minimally successful at best. One ramification of the inattention to alcohol-related education is the dearth of nursescientists engaged in programs of research in the field of alcohol abuse. A federally funded faculty development program in the 1990s focused attention on this issue, and a small cadre of nurses were trained to do related research. Several of the authors in this volume are members of that group.A brief overview of the focus of each of the remaining chapters in this volume is presented. A rationale is provided for the importance of this area of research for nursing knowledge and quality patient care in essentially all areas of nursing practice. Finally, several burning research questions are posed that would most appropriately be answered through nursing research.
Vulnerable Populations in Thailand: Giving Voice to Women Living With HIV/AIDS
Authors: Nyamathi Adeline , Covington Chandice , Mutere Malaika 
Published: September 2018

Thailand was the first Asian country hit by the AIDS epidemic, and in the 1990s reported the fastest spread of HIV/AIDS in the world. According to Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health, women, primarily between the child-bearing ages of 15 and 49, are increasingly becoming infected with HIV. A number of factors contribute to the increasing AIDS epidemic, including the rise of the commercial sex industry in Thailand; social disparities that have existed between men and women throughout Thailand’s history; and the gender-expectations faced by Thai women toward family and society.Thailand enjoys one of the oldest, reputedly successful primary health care delivery systems in the world; one that relies on community health workers to reach the most rural of populations. In the mid-1990s, day care centers were established at district hospitals by the Thai government to provide medical, psychological, and social care to people living with HIV/AIDS (PWA). Buddhist temples also provide a source of alternative care for PWAs. However, the AIDS policy of the Thai government relies on families to care for the country’s sick.Although poor women are a vulnerable population in Thailand, they are changing the paradigm of AIDS stigma while providing a significant cost-savings to the Thai government in their caregiving activities. Based on existing nursing studies on Thailand, this chapter gives voice to poor Thai women living with HIV/AIDS, and examines how they make sense of their gendered contract with society and religion while being HIV/AIDS caregivers, patients, or both.
Case Manager-Defined Roles in the Medicare Alzheimer’s Disease Demonstration: Relationship to Client and Caregiver Outcomes
Authors: Arnsberger Pamela , Fox Patrick , Zhang Xiulan 
Published: September 2018

This study explores the different approaches to case management within, the Medicare Alzheimer’s Disease Demonstration. Eight sites from around the country were selected to participate in a survey of case managers (N = 57) that evaluated their professional background and experience and how certain tasks, functions, and goals of case management were prioritized at each site. Client and caregiver outcomes were collected on a site-by-site basis as part of the demonstration. The hypothesis was that the way in which case managers performed their work would vary by site. Furthermore it was hypothesized that these differences would be measurable and correlated with project outcomes. Case managers differed significantly by site in how they prioritized tasks, functions, and goals, viewing themselves along a continuum from a clinical approach to one that emphasizes service management. These differences in case management style are reflected in between-site differences in certain client and caregiver outcomes but not others. Specifically, variations in case management style are not related to client cognitive or functional status but to other outcomes including behavioral management, caregiver burden, and service use.
Community Care Management Across the Continuum: Study Results From a Medicare Health Maintenance Plan
Authors: Quinn Joan L. , Prybylo Mary , Pannone Patricia 
Published: September 2018

A large national health plan piloting a community care management (CCM) model for its highrisk, chronically ill, Medicare population has demonstrated a significant reduction in overall medical costs for its participants. The key elements include: the proactive identification and risk stratification of members; assignment of advanced practice nurses to physicians with highvolume high-risk members; and ongoing clinical management across the continuum, establishing a continuous relationship with the member. The results are derived from a retrospective study comparing 6 months of claim data prior to the member entering CCM, with 6 months of claim data while participants received community, care management. Members in the pilot study experienced both a 42% reduction in institutional days and a 53% reduction in admissions to acute care settings. In addition, physician and specialists fees were reduced by 37%. This resulted in a 6-month net savings of $3,602 per participant. To be extremely conservative, the savings were reduced by 50% to reflect the possible impact of regression to the mean. Even accounting for this, the program’s projected cost savings are $1,801 per participant in 6 months. The total projected savings for community care managed members in a fully implemented program divided by the entire enrolled population of 27,000 is $6.60 per member per month (PM/PM). The results of this study of care management across the continuum signal a new approach for medical management at a time when health care and the needs of the population are changing.

Published: September 2018

The role of Waqf is synonym with the purpose of developing the economics as well as social well-being by means of a charity-based system. Revitalization of cash Waqf gives advantage to Muslims countries to further enhance this charity system. However, the efficiency of cash Waqf management is still questionable due to several internal management issues. This research is conducted to explore current practices of Waqf institutions in managing cash Waqf concerning human resource, documentation and reporting aspect; to investigate challenges faced by Waqf institutions in managing cash Waqf in terms of human resource, documentation and reporting aspects; and to suggest a few ways that can enhance the efficiency of cash Waqf management focusing in the three aspects. To achieve these objectives, qualitative methodology has been adopted where the data of this research was collected through semi-structured interview and review of past literatures as well as relevant documents. The finding of the research shows that majority of Waqf institutions have made efforts in promoting cash Waqf based on its regulation, financial sources, collaboration, duration of cash Waqf implementation and its strategic planning. However, the current practices of human resource, documentation and reporting are not suitable with the current pace of evolution to fully realize the benefit of cash Waqf. This research revealed the loopholes in the management of cash Waqf and suggested several ways for improvement as a reference for Waqf institutions in order to improve their cash Waqf implementation. It is a significant endeavor for Waqf institutions in Malaysia to develop knowledge on cash Waqf management as well as provoking speedy development progress of cash Waqf implementation in Malaysia.
