Authors: P. B. Thrishuli , E. Pavan Kumar 
Published: January 2018

Background: To compare and find out the best method of abdominal wall closure in cases peritonitis between subcutaneous negative suction drainage tube and conventional primary skin and subcutaneous closure.Methods: From September 2015 to September 2017, 100 patients who presented at the emergency department with acute abdominal pain and operated for the same, with features s/o peritonitis were enrolled into the study. 50 of them were managed with subcutaneous negative suction drainage tube during abdominal wall closure (Group A). 50 other patients underwent conventional method of abdominal wall closure (Group B). On table pus c/s was sent for all 100 cases. The surgical wound was observed for signs of infection. Any seropurulent collection from the drain or any discharge from the wound was sent for c/s and the results of which were compared with the results of on table pus c/s. If wound dehiscence was noted, secondary suturing was done after the wound healed. The duration of suction drain placement and stay in the hospital were noted in all cases. The results were analyzed with Chi-square test and Student t test (unpaired) and p values were calculated. A p value of less than 0.05 was considered significant.Results: The incidence of SSI was significantly less in Group A (20%) than in Group B (64%). Similarly, wound dehiscence occurred in 30% of SSI cases in Group A as against 87.1% of SSI cases in Group B, the difference of which was statistically significant. The mean duration of hospital stay was significantly less when subcutaneous suction drain was placed (8 days).Conclusions: Subcutaneous suction drainage tube is an effective method of abdominal wall closure in cases of peritonitis when compared to conventional primary skin closure as it significantly reduces the incidence of SSI, wound dehiscence, wound secondary suturing and duration of hospital stay.

This study used a qualitative method with phenomenological approach. Selection of a method purposive. Selection of informants using methods purposive ie businesses which process local food derived from terrestrial plant. The results showed that the meaning of efforts in the development of local food is positive as it can be an additional source of income for families, create jobs and expand social networks, but variations in the types of processed and flavor is still less diverse and less than optimal marketing. Primary and secondary stakeholders involved in the development of local food by providing assistance and motivation to constantly improve the quality and quantity of processed food products locally as well as marketing. But some stakeholders are not optimal involvement in the development of local food. The lack of optimization due to a lack of common ground between the businessmen and the stakeholders as well as between the stakeholders. Looking forward there are organizations that can coordinate and stakeholder businesses so that they can equate the views related to the development of local food and stakeholders can engage with the optimal local food development becomes more leverage.

Zakat microfinance (ZMF) is an alternative to the limitation of zakat institution and microfinance institution in empowerment program. To make sure the zakat microfinance is on the track and to boost its performance and its benefit, evaluation is needed. This study aims to do an operational evaluation of productive zakat program formed in the micro-economic empowerment program named Sakofa (Madrasah Ekonomi Dhuafa/ School for Economics of the Poor) of Dompet Dhuafa Yogyakarta. Primary data were gathered from Sakofa beneficiaries in Sleman, Bantul, and Gunung Kidul. The findings show that all monetary aspects are better after running the program. Using ADePT software, headcount index, poverty gap, poverty severity, Watts index, and the average time taken to exit poverty are lower after doing the program. Altruism and saving behavior are better after Sakofa Program is implemented. Unfortunately, mustahiq were lack of discipline and desire to be independent. The effectiveness of counseling material on religiosity is the lowest. In short, Sakofa Program has a good performance in improving their prosperity.

Published: January 2018

OBJECTIVE
We describe in detail the burden of infections in adults with diabetes within a large national population cohort. We also compare infection rates between patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T1DM and T2DM).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
A retrospective cohort study compared 102,493 English primary care patients aged 40–89 years with a diabetes diagnosis by 2008 (n = 5,863 T1DM and n = 96,630 T2DM) with 203,518 age-sex-practice–matched control subjects without diabetes. Infection rates during 2008–2015, compiled from primary care and linked hospital and mortality records, were compared across 19 individual infection categories. These were further summarized as any requiring a prescription or hospitalization or as cause of death. Poisson regression was used to estimate incidence rate ratios (IRRs) between 1) people with diabetes and control subjects and 2) T1DM and T2DM adjusted for age, sex, smoking, BMI, and deprivation.

RESULTS
Compared with control subjects without diabetes, patients with diabetes had higher rates for all infections, with the highest IRRs seen for bone and joint infections, sepsis, and cellulitis. IRRs for infection-related hospitalizations were 3.71 (95% CI 3.27–4.21) for T1DM and 1.88 (95% CI 1.83–1.92) for T2DM. A direct comparison of types confirmed higher adjusted risks for T1DM versus T2DM (death from infection IRR 2.19 [95% CI 1.75–2.74]). We estimate that 6% of infection-related hospitalizations and 12% of infection-related deaths were attributable to diabetes.

CONCLUSIONS
People with diabetes, particularly T1DM, are at increased risk of serious infection, representing an important population burden. Strategies that reduce the risk of developing severe infections and poor treatment outcomes are under-researched and should be explored.
Korean Drama Constructing Multiculturalism among Muslim Women Students
Authors: Hidayati Okta Nurul , Saputro M. Endy 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
This paper aims to understand the unique relationship between Korean drama and the formation of multicultural identity among Muslim women students. On the one hand, as a form of racial activity, watching Korean dramas can establish a new form of identity while at the same time enriching a new perspective of building multicultural sense. On the other hand as a part of Muslim, they can control Korean culture that is incompatible with Islamic doctrine. This paper argues that adopting Korean dramas positively supports students in creating multicultural cultures. These findings may contribute to the formation of cultural diversity within the Islamic context.

Published: January 2018

Neste artigo trazemos os resultados de uma pesquisa que buscou evidenciar as relações de natureza didático-pedagógicas e avaliativas na área de Química, tendo por base de estudo questões de Química de um vestibular e do ENEM. Esses exames foram considerados, pois possibilitam o acesso ao Ensino Superior. Para a análise das questões assumimos os procedimentos das análises textuais e orientamos nossas interpretações segundo quatro critérios: conteúdos químicos; competências/habilidades; aspectos contextuais e aspectos estruturais. Com a análise das questões e com base nos documentos oficiais, identificamos que as questões do ENEM contemplam tópicos relacionados a aplicações cotidianas do conhecimento científico e a problemas sociais e ambientais que não encontram correspondentes explícitos no programa do vestibular. As competências e habilidades são exigidas de forma mais ampla e diversificada no ENEM. No que diz respeito aos contextos, foram constatadas diferenças significativas nas questões desses dois exames, enquanto a maioria das questões do ENEM apresenta algum tipo de contexto, privilegiando principalmente problemas socioambientais e questões relacionadas à tecnologia, 40% das questões do exame vestibular não fazem referência a qualquer contexto. Quanto à estrutura das questões, notamos que 50% das questões, em ambos os exames, apresentam algum tipo de recurso gráfico, no entanto,no ENEM há uma maior diversidade.
Constituição e Mobilização de Saberes Docentes: Perscrutando Práticas de Professores de Biologia no Ensino Médio
Authors: Confortin Renata , Caimi Flávia Eloisa 
Published: January 2018

O presente estudo circunscreve-se no campo da epistemologia da prática e se justifica pela necessidade de apreender os processos de constituição profissional e de apropriação e mobilização de saberes dos professores, com vistas a analisar as práticas que se desenrolam no cotidiano das escolas e das salas de aula. No esforço de identificar as especificidades que caracterizam a prática de dois professores de Biologia no ensino médio, investigou-se como se constituem e mobilizam seus saberes docentes na confluência das experiências familiares, escolares, formativas e sociais. O caminho metodológico foi percorrido a partir da triangulação entre três procedimentos: a história de vida, a entrevista semiestruturada e a observação de aulas. Depreende-se, dos percursos desses professores, a influência de seus educadores ao longo da escolarização básica e superior. A experiência também ocupa lugar central na constituição de seus saberes enquanto professores de Biologia. No que concerne aos modos de mobilização de saberes, compreende-se que os percursos são muito particularizados em função,dentre outros fatores que apareceram menos evidentes, da fase em que se encontram na carreira. A professora experiente parece mobilizar saberes mais especificamente na gestão da classe, ao passo que o professor novato o faz na gestão da matéria. Ainda, evidencia-se que a prática destacada dos dois professores investigados é marcada pelo gosto de exercer a docência, por um profundo carinho pelos alunos, pela importância que atribuem ao ser professor, pela responsabilidade com que assumem a condução da sala de aula.
PISA as a Challenge for Science Education: Inherent Problems and Problematic Results from a Global Assessment Regime
Authors: Sjøberg Svein 
Published: January 2018

We experience the emergence of a global educational reform movement, where the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) through its project PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) has become the key driver. PISA and its focus on league tables and rankings influence educational debates and educational policy world-wide. The OECD is, with PISA as the main instrument, emerging as a kind of global ministry of education, promoting theirown standardized curriculum and system of quality assessment. PISA is designed to be used by the 30+ modern, highly developed countries in the OECD, but is also used by some 40 less developed non-OECD countries as a benchmark for their education system. This influence of OECD will be further widened by a version of PISA that will target developing countries, “PISA for development”. This instrument has the same underlying assumptions and ideals as PISA: the main concern is the national economy, not the personal development of the learner. There is also the underlying assumption that competition is always good, and that a free-market economy always promotes quality. The increasing role taken by the OECD is pushing aside the influence of international organization with different agendas and ideals, like UNESCO and UNICEF. Since studies like PISA by design cannot identify causal relationships behind neither success nor failure, the educational consequences of the studies are not clear. In many countries, PISA results are used to legitimize market-driven reforms, control of the teachers, payment by test results for teachers and principals, erosion of the public school system, privatization and the introduction of more testing regimes.In this development, the OECD now operates in close contact with the world’s largest commercial company in the education sector, Pearson Inc. The success of PISA as an instrument of governance is currently expanded also to target schools and their teaching in a more direct way: a PISA-like instrument, “PISA for Schools” is developed for local use, for schools and school districts, enabling them to compare their own schools to “PISA winners”. This development may also create anxiety and concern not only at the national or federal level, but also at the local level. This test is also a commercial product, opening up a large and untapped market.

Authors: Azevedo Nathália Helena , Scarpa Daniela Lopes 
Published: January 2018

A natureza da ciência (NdC) tem sido apontada como um componente importante do ensino de ciências, pois o conhecimento sobre a ciência pode contribuir para a tomada de decisões do cidadão contemporâneo. Há poucos trabalhos de revisão com caráter quantitativo no campo da educação em ciências. Dada a importância do tema e considerando a necessidade de organizar e compreender o conhecimento produzido pelas pesquisas sobre concepções de NdC, realizamos uma revisão sistemática, segundo os princípios do PRISMA, a fim de quantificar e iniciar uma reflexão sobre (i) as tendências de publicação de trabalhos sobre concepções de NdC, (ii) as principais características desses trabalhos, (iii) os aspectos de NdC frequentemente elencados como importantes para o ensino e (iv) as principais estratégias usadas para acessar as concepções de NdC. Analisamos 396 artigos publicados até fevereiro de 2015, nos periódicos de Ensino e Educação da lista WebQualis 2013. Nossa revisão sistemática representou um esforço inicial para expor um panorama geral da área e permitiu identificar tendências e lacunas de pesquisa. Esforços de investigação são necessários para o levantamento de concepções de NdC no contexto brasileiro e associados ao ensino de disciplinas específicas. Encontramos 25 aspectos de NdC relatados como importantes para o ensino, abordamos parte do debate acerca dos consensos e das listas de aspectos de NdC e trouxemos características gerais dos principais questionários usados para o levantamento de concepções de NdC.
