Authors: AŞIK ÖZDEMİR Vacide , YILMAZ YAVUZ Ayten 
Published: January 2024

Since humane and good nursing care cannot be provided without compassion, it is undeniable that every intervention made with a sense
of compassion will cause less pain to individuals and negative experiences will decrease. This research was conducted to evaluate the
compassion levels of nursing students and their strategies to prevent compassion fatigue.
The population consisted of 350 undergraduate nursing students in a state university. The information form consists of questions related
to the socio-demographic characteristics of the participants, the nursing profession, empathy and compassion, and the Compassion Scale
were used to obtain data. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean and median), Mann Whitney U and
Kruskal Wallis test.
It was observed that there was a significant difference in the compassion and conscious awareness dimensions of the scale among those
who thought that institutional strategies should be used to prevent compassion. The level of compassion fatigue is mostly experienced in
the dimension of emotional problems (36.6%), excessive professional workload (46.9%) is seen as the trigger of compassion fatigue, and
the majority of participants think that institutional strategies should be used to prevent compassion fatigue (85.5%). has been found. It was
determined that the students’ average compassion scale score was 3.97 ± 0.46.
It is concluded that nursing students experienced compassion fatigue due to excessive workload, and they thought that it was important
to implement institutional strategies to prevent it. Nursing students’ awareness of compassion fatigue should be increased and students
should be supported to develop their own strategies to overcome compassion fatigue

Disenso y consenso epistemológico en la construcción del conocimiento
Authors: Balza Laya Antonio María 
Published: January 2024

Reflexionar a profundidad para desplegar un conjunto de argumentos epistémicos en torno al disenso y consenso epistemológico de una transepistemología en construcción, como le hemos llamado a la transcomplejidad, sin lugar a dudas, constituye un carísimo encargo intelectual, puesto que un atrevimiento de esta envergadura, comporta confrontar los más custodiados feudos ontoepistemológicos de las racionalidades científicas establecidas. Teóricamente el artículo se fundamenta en los grandes aportes de Rogers Verneaux (1989) acerca de la Epistemología General o Crítica al Conocimiento como un acercamiento didáctico a la filosofía. El articulo permite concluir, que la construcción del conocimiento en el contexto de una investigación de nivel doctoral, pensada desde la transcomplejidad, pone al descubierto, por una parte la emergencia de un disenso epistemológico entendido como una desobediencia paradigmática y una necesaria critica al conocimiento, en tanto propósito por lograr la transformación y progreso de la ciencia, y por otra, la conveniencia de madurar ciertos consensos y/o acuerdos en torno a algunas premisas epistémicas que deben ser compartidas por la comunidad académica, a los fines de construir en colectivo la identidad científica de la transcomplejidad, la cual asumimos como una transepistemología en construcción. Estas premisas las denomino el eidos ontológico de la transcomplejidad, conformado por: los principios del Enfoque Integrador Transcomplejo, las dimensiones filosóficas de la matriz epistémica de la transcomplejidad, algunos portales de la sabiduría humana para construir el discurso doctoral/posdoctoral desde la transcomplejidad y un translenguaje de naturaleza critica, transgresiva y transformadora.

Age Differences in Anger Frequency, Intensity, and Expression
Authors: Thomas Sandra P. 
Published: August 2002

BACKGROUND: Although research consistently indicates harmful effects of mismanaged anger, little attention has been given to age differences in the experience and expression of this emotion. It is plausible that, with age and experience, people have less intense anger or learn to manage it more constructively. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this project was to examine age differences in anger frequency, intensity, and expression in a nonclinical sample of students, faculty, and staff who participated in a health fair at a large southeastern university. STUDY DESIGN: This descriptive study involved a predominantly white sample, ranging in age from 18 to 76 years. There were 206 men and 199 women. Anger variables were measured by an instrument to assess anger at home and at work or school. RESULTS: No significant age differences were found in anger experienced at home. Women in their 40s scored significantly higher on anger at work than did women of other ages; moreover, their scores were almost twice as high as the scores of men in their 40s. Significant age and gender differences were found in the propensity to overtly express anger, with younger women (those in their 20s and 30s) having the highest mean scores on Total Expressed Anger. CONCLUSIONS: Findings of this study suggest the need for continued exploration of anger in samples of diverse ages so that anger management interventions can be appropriately tailored for clients.
Analgesic effects of peripherally administered opioids in clinical models of acute and chronic inflammation

Published: August 2002

A series of double‐blind, placebo‐controlled clinical trials demonstrated that low doses of morphine (0.4, 1.2, and 3.6 mg) administered into the intraligamentary space of a chronically inflamed hyperalgesic tooth produced a dose‐related naloxone‐reversible analgesia. This analgesic effect is mediated by a local mechanism in the inflamed tissue, because subcutaneous administration of a 1.2 mg dose of morphine failed to elicit an analgesic response. In contrast, submucosal administration of 1.2 mg morphine or 50 μg fentanyl to the site of extraction of an impacted third molar after the onset of acute pain failed to elicit an analgesic response despite demonstration of a sensitive bioassay. These data indicate that peripheral opioid analgesia can be evoked in a model of chronic, but not acute, inflammatory pain, suggesting a temporal dependent mechanism needed for the expression of peripheral opiate analgesia during inflammation in humans.Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics (2001) 70, 66–73; doi: 10.1067/mcp.2001.116443

Published: August 2002

The effect of the C3435T mutation at exon 26 of the MDR1 gene on the expression levels of MDR1 messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) was evaluated by means of real‐time polymerase chain reaction in 51 biopsy specimens of duodenum obtained from 13 healthy Japanese subjects. The mRNA levels of MDR1 were 0.38 ± 0.15, 0.56 ± 0.14, and 1.13 ± 0.42 (mean value ± SE) in the subjects with the homozygote of wild‐type allele (C/C), compound heterozygote with mutant T allele (C/T), and the homozygote of the mutant allele (T/T), respectively, reasonably explaining the lower digoxin serum concentration after administration of a single oral dose to subjects harboring a mutant T allele. Good correlation (r = .797; P < .01) was observed between the mRNA concentrations of MDR1 and CYP3A4 in the individual biopsy specimens. This finding suggested a lower plasma concentration of the substrates for CYP3A4 in subjects harboring the C3435T mutation of the MDR1 gene.Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics (2002) 71, 297–303; doi: 10.1067/mcp.2002.122055
Vibration Control of Plates Using Electromagnetic Compressional Damping Treatment
Authors: Omer A. , Baz A. 
Published: August 2002

A new class of structural damping treatments is introduced. This class is the Electromagnetic Compressional Damping Treatment (ECDT) which relies in its operation on a viscoelastic damping layer sandwiched between an electromagnet and a permanent magnet. Interaction between the magnets generates magnetic forces that enhance the compressional damping mechanism of the viscoelastic layer. With proper tuning of the magnetic forces, in response to the structural vibration, undesirable resonances and catastrophic failures can be avoided. The fundamentals and the underlying phenomena associated with the ECDT are investigated theoretically and experimentally. A finite element model is developed to describe the interaction between the dynamics of flexible plates, the visco-elastic damping layer and the electro-magnetic actuators. The validity of the developed finite element model is checked experimentally using aluminum plates treated with single and multi-ECDT patches. The plate/ECDT system is subjected to sinusoidal excitations and its multi-mode response is monitored when the electro-magnetic actuator is activated or not. Several control strategies are considered to activate the electro-magnetic actuator including simple PD controllers. The performance of the uncontrolled and controlled system is determined at various operating conditions. Comparisons with conventional Passive Constrained Layer Damping (PCLD) treatments emphasize the potential of the ECDT treatment as an effective means for controlling structural vibrations.
New Polyisocyanurate Catalysts Which Exhibit High Activity at Low Temperature

Published: August 2002

In polyisocyanurate foam production, alkali metal catalysts of organic carboxylic acids and hydroxyalkyltrimethyl quaternary ammonium salts are traditional standards as polyisocyanurate foam catalysts. The activity of these catalysts, however, is not efficient at low temperature. Therefore, the initiation reactions are extremely delayed, and the flowability of the foam system is far too inferior. In addition, the foam exhibits shrinkage when the thickness of the sprayed layer was thin and the temperature was low while applying the sprayed foams. The combination of other tertiary amine catalysts could improve the flowability; however, the flammability of the foam would be a hazard because the isocyanurate reaction has not fully progressed. For the improvement of the above-mentioned problems, Tosoh Corp. has developed several new quaternary ammonium salt compounds, such as Toyocat-TR20. TR20, however, should be used in conjunction with an alkali metal co-catalyst. Presently, Tosoh has succeeded in developing another new catalyst having even higher catalytic activity at low temperature, which can replace the use of the alkali metal catalyst. The new catalyst provides the low temperature dependency in the isocyanurate reaction activity compared to the traditional isocyanurate catalysts. The new catalyst provides the following advantages: 1. The catalytic activity is high. 2. The isocyanurate reaction activity at low temperature is high. 3. The initial foaming reaction is improved, thereby the rise profile is now smooth. In this report, new quaternary ammonium salts will be introduced with comparison data using the FT-IR analytical methods, as well as the evaluation in panel and sprayed foams.
Application of Ultrasonic Spectroscopy for Hydrolytic Damage Detection in GRFC: Correlations with Mechanical Tests and Microscopic Observations

Published: August 2002

This study concerns the ability of ultrasonic waves to detect the damage caused to polymer composites during water immersion. The acoustical parameters such as velocity and attenuation are linked to the viscoelasticity and microstructure of the propagation medium. For ultrasonic propagation, composite materials are dispersive, so their acoustical parameters are measured by means of pulsed ultrasonic spectroscopy. Model samples with certain properties are chosen in order to isolate the different damage mechanisms. In these conditions, the results of ultrasonic tests during hydrolytic aging allowed us to correlate the evolution of acoustical parameters to the damage level and nature. The ultrasonic results have been validated by complementary mechanical tests and microscopic observations carried out on the same samples. From these results, it is possible to implement a practical procedure allowing the damage quantitative evaluation from ultrasonic velocity and attenuation measurements. The damage mechanism is identified through a detailed analysis of the velocity and attenuation dispersion laws.
Camouflage in the Non-Visible Region

Published: August 2002

To provide camouflage in non-visual range of spectrum, i.e., against NIR detection devices working in the range of 700–1500 nm, it becomes essential that camouflaging equipment should be painted/dyed with the pigments/dyes having NIR reflectance values similar to that of backgrounds in respective shades. Generally, the shades of vegetation and desert regions are confined to olive green, brown, deep brunswick green, light stone and dark stone colour, so it is required that IR reflectance values of pigment formulation must match with the IR reflectance values of these shades of the background vegetation or desert terrains. An elaborate study has been carried out on these pigment formulations coated on cotton and nylon substrate materials. The study has brought out the reflectance trend of the formulations, role of each constituent pigment on the reflectance values and effect of dilution or concentration of pigment formulation on the reflectance properties. These studies would pave the way for preparation and optimization of various formulations with respect to IR reflectance values and their use for camouflage purpose in non-visual range of electromagnetic wave length.
HFC-245fa Spray Polyurethane Foam Systems Co-Blown with Water: A Quality, Cost Effective, Safe Substitute for HCFC-141b
Authors: Bogdan Mary , Williams David , Verbiest Paul 
Published: August 2002

The effective use of insulation is key to energy conservation. The effectiveness of insulation is dependent upon many factors. In the case of rigid foam insulation a key factor is the blowing agent used. Industry evaluations have shown that HFC-245fa produces foams with the highest insulation value of any HCFC-141b alternative-blowing agent in the construction market. Meeting the market needs is critical to the success of any new product. Today’s insulation specifiers are not only concerned about energy savings but also cost. Chemical and manufacturing changes can have a significant effect on product cost. The higher vapor pressure of HFC-245fa and its potential impact on packaging has also been a concern to the spray foam industry. This paper contains the latest results about the use of HFC-245fa foam systems co-blown with water, which meet the needs of the spray foam market. They are cost effective, produce foams with low k-factors, good physical properties, and can be stored and shipped in existing drums. This will allow applicators and manufacturers to safely use existing equipment without significant modifications or safety concerns. HFC-245fa and water used as co-blowing agents provide a wide range of benefits in spray foam. Since less HFC-245fa is used, the vapor pressure is lower, and the cost of the system is reduced while improving the physical properties of the foam. There is however an increase in k-factor. We have determined also that the addition of low levels of •-methyl styrene to a spray foam polyol blend lowers the vapor pressure of the polyol blend and enhances the k-factor of the foams produced. This allows the user to optimize k-factor while lowering the cost. Data from laboratory evaluations of these blends are presented. This paper also includes a discussion of the cost of these blends from a chemical, manufacturing and performance perspective. We consider HFC-245fa/water co-blown spray foam to be a quality, cost effective and safe alternative to HCFC-141b blown foams in the future.
