Authors: Lopes Luísa , Correia Nadine , Aguiar Cecília 
Published: December 2016

Com este estudo, pretendeu-se desenvolver e avaliar as características psicométricas de uma medida de avaliação das perceções dos educadores de infância acerca da implementação do direito de participação em contexto de jardim de infância. Participaram 168 educadores de infância, sendo que, destes, 40 foram observados, em contexto de sala, com o Classroom Observation Scoring System (Pianta, La Paro, & Hamre, 2008). Identificámos dois componentes das perceções dos educadores acerca da participação das crianças: Expressão e Responsabilidade das Crianças e Tomada de Decisão pelo Adulto. A Tomada de Decisão pelo Adulto estava negativamente associada à qualidade das salas e às habilitações académicas dos educadores. Paralelamente, educadores do setor público obtiveram resultados mais elevados no componente Expressão e Responsabilidade das Crianças do que educadores do setor privado com fins lucrativos. Os dados obtidos fornecem evidências que suportam, moderadamente, a fidelidade e a validade da medida.Palavras-chave: direito de participação das crianças, questionário, perceções, jardim de infância ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of a measure designed to assess early childhood education teachers’ perceptions about the degree of implementation of children’s participation right in early childhood education. Participated in this study 168 preschool teachers, 40 of which were simultaneously observed, in their classrooms, with the Classroom Observation Scoring System (CLASS; Pianta, La Paro, & Hamre, 2008). We identified two components of teachers’ perceptions of children’s participation: Children’s Expression and Responsibility and Decision Making by the Adult. Decision Making by the Adult was negatively associated with the domains of classroom quality measured through CLASS and with teachers education level. Teachers from public centers scored higher in Children’s Expression and Responsibility than teachers from private for-profit centers. Findings provide moderate evidence on the reliability and validity of the Assessment Questionnaire of Early Childhood Education Teachers’ Perceptions about Children’s Participation Right.

No mundo atual, a universidade tem um papel crucial na formação de cidadãos capazes de inovar. A criatividade surge, assim, como um conceito a valorizar no ensino superior, mas tal valorização implica alterações no quotidiano educativo. Uma fonte de informação relevante para a rentabilizações das competências criativas nos alunos universitários é auscultar o que estes pensam sobre elas. Neste sentido, a partir do questionário "Universidade e Competências Criativas", foram analisadas perceções de 582 estudantes de uma universidade portuguesa acerca da conceituação e da valorização de criatividade no contexto académico. As percepções foram analisadas em função da área curricular de formação e do género, encontrando-se diferenças estatisticamente significativas para ambas as variáveis. Os resultados permitem reflexões no sentido de aprofundamentos futuros deste estudo, assim como apontam direções para cuidados e reforços a ter nas práticas educativas neste nível de ensino.Palavras-chave: Criatividade; Ensino Superior; Estudantes universitários; Perceções ABSTRACTIn today's world, the University has a crucial role in the education of citizens in order to innovate.

Published: December 2016

Introduction: In modern Obstetrics, with rising trends of primary Cesarean section (CS) for fetal and maternal interests, pregnancy over the scarred uterus is a challenge to all treating obstetricians. How better the cesarean scar is sutured, its exact fate in next pregnancy is still not measurable. Objective of this study was to evaluate the status of previous cesarean scar during repeat cesarean section (RCS) and calculate the maternal morbidity in those cases in a tertiary hospital.

Methods: It was a descriptive, retrospective study conducted at department of Obstetrics of Lumbini Medical College Teaching Hospital. The study was conducted from 15th July 2014 to 14th July 2015. The data were retrieved from the department of Medical Records. Women undergoing RCS were enrolled. The status of scar was evaluated in terms of intact scar, scar rupture, scar dehiscence, thin lower uterine segment, scar placenta previa, and adhesions as indicator of scar integrity.

Results: There were 534 (25.4%) CS among 2,098 deliveries during the study period. Ninety one (17.04%) of them were RCS. Elective RCS were 73.6% (n=67), and emergency RCS were 26.4% (n=24). Eighty two (90.1%) women had RCS once and 9 (9.9%) had RCS for second time. Scar was intact in 22 (91.6%), scar dehiscence in 1 (8.3%), scar with adhesions in 1 (8.3%) among emergency RCS and intact in 53 (91.3%) and scar with adhesions in 5 (8.7%) among elective RCS. Among nine women of two RCS, three (37.5%) had thin scar, five (62.5%) had well formed scar, seven (87.5%) had intact scar, and one (12.5%) had scar with adhesion. There was no scar dehiscence and no scar rupture in two RCS women. Adhesions were documented twice higher in women whose primary CS was undertaken outside our hospital. Placenta previa and placenta accreta each were found in two cases.

Conclusion: Most of the scars of repeat Cesarean section were healthy with no scar rupture. We can consider trial of labor for scarred uterus with strict vigilance and in need, CS is always at option.

Published: December 2016

Introduction: Ipsilateral supracondylar humerus and forearm fractures in the pediatric population are an uncommon injury associated with high-energy trauma. The incidence varies between 3% and 13%. Our aim was to conduct a descriptive analysis on seventeen cases of children with floating elbow injuries who attended our institution and to review the literature relating to this topic.

Methods: Between April 2013 to March 2016, data were obtained through the medical records. Children who had completely displaced supracondylar fractures of the humerus associated with ipsilateral forearm fracture were reviewed. All patients underwent operative reduction and percutaneous K-wire stabilization. At mean follow up of 12.9 months, all patients were assessed clinically and radiologically. The following variables were used: age, gender, side, mechanism, type of fracture, classification, treatment and complications.

Results: Seventeen pediatric "floating elbow" cases that had operative management were identified. Twelve (70.5%%) were male and five (29.4%) female. The mean age was 9.5 (SD=2.1) years, ranging from six to 14 years. The left side was predominantly affected (70.5%). The commonest injury mechanism was fall from a height (76.47%). All the supracondylar fractures were Gartland type III. Majority of forearm fractures (76.4%) were at distal meta diaphyseal region. Distal radius physeal fractures were diagnosed in three patients. Open fractures occurred in three cases (17.6%). All supracondylar fractures were reduced and fixed using K-wires. There was one radial nerve, and three median nerve injury. Five patients had pin tract related complications. Fifteen (88.2%) patients had good to excellent, two had fair in terms of modified Flynn criteria in last month follow up. All patients went on to radiographic union without secondary procedures.

Conclusions: This, uncommon injury in most cases, results from high-energy trauma. Early surgical treatment for both fractures is required in the form simultaneous closed reduction of the displaced forearm fracture followed by supracondylar fixation with K-wires. This provides not only stable fixation but also allows close observation for early sign and symptom of development of compartment syndrome.
Comparison of Perinatal Outcome of Breech Presentation between Vaginal Delivery and Cesarean Section
Authors: Shrestha Buddhi Kumar , Shrestha Subha 
Published: December 2016

Introduction: Many times, parturient opt for labour and vaginal breech delivery even after informing increased perinatal risks. Vaginal breech deliveries are undertaken with the reasons like avoidance of cesarean section in next pregnancy, null risk of operative and anesthetic hazards, ability to resume early all household works after vaginal birth, etc. The purpose of this study is to compare the perinatal outcome of breech deliveries in singleton breech presentation between vaginal breech delivery and cesarean section.

Methods: A retrospective study was done in Lumbini Medical College Teaching Hospital for the duration of one year (December 2014 to November 2015). Data of perinatal outcome of breech deliveries were collected from the hospital records. The records of neonatal examination were also collected. The primary outcomes included were neonatal morbidity and mortality.

Results: Out of 80 selected women with breech presentation, 42 of them had vaginal deliveries and 38 women had undergone caesarean section. The perinatal mortality was 4.8% and morbidity was 2% in vaginal breech deliveries. There was no significant difference of APGAR score in the two groups at any time. Similarly, there was no significant difference in perinatal morbidity and mortality in the two groups. Nulliparous women were more likely to deliver by Cesarean section.

Conclusion: In places where planned vaginal delivery is a common practice and when strict criteria are met before and during labour, planned vaginal breech delivery of singleton fetus in breech presentation remains a safe option that can be offered to women.
Effects of the wallpaper fuel design on the neutronic behavior of the HTR-10
Authors: Hosseini S. A. , Athari-Allaf M. 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
TRISO-wrapped fuel particle failure is a function of local temperature. The spherical symmetry and hence central temperature peak in PBM-type reactor fuel pebbles can lead to considerably higher failure rates at the center of the pebbles. The so-called “wallpaper fuel” concept has been shown to be a viable solution to this issue. In this paper, the neutronic aspects of this modification were studied using MCNP. According to the obtained results, the inclusion of a central fuel-free zone could lead to a more reactive system with lower actinide production while damping the temperature response of the reactor.

Published: December 2016

Abstract
In this research work, the electrical behavior of polycarbonate-carbon nanotube composite, over the radiation absorbed dose under a fixed DC voltage was investigated via finite element method. The predicted electrical percolation threshold value in the composite was validated by experimental results published by other scientists. The absorbed dose value was considered as multiplying of heat capacity and temperature rise of the composite, regarding the calorimetric approach. Results show that this kind of composite can be applied for monitoring and radiation protection utilizations.
