Published: July 2022

Introduction: Patients’ rights are one of the major components of human rights. As health professionals, nurses are bound to care for patients while safeguarding their rights. This study aimed to describe the knowledge and attitudes towards patients’ rights among nurses in two selected teaching hospitals in Sri Lanka. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among nurses from two selected teaching hospitals in Sri Lanka, using a pre-tested and self-administered questionnaire. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS version 26.0. Results: The response rate was 71.0% and 300 nurses participated in the study. The majority of the participants were from surgical wards (71.0%) and had less than six years of service (44.3%). Their mean overall knowledge regarding patients’ rights was 81.90±12.48. When considering the levels of knowledge, 67.7% had good (>75%), 31.7% had moderate (50-75%), and 1.0% had poor (<50%) levels. A good level of knowledge was evident by the responses received on the right to have respectful care (89.3%), right to maintain privacy (91.7%), and right to receive good quality health services (91.0%). However, 19.9% showed a poor level of knowledge regarding the right to obtain prior consent. The mean attitude score on patients’ rights was 31.21±0.25, and only 48.3% showed positive attitudes towards patients’ rights. Nurses’ overall knowledge levels were significantly associated with the current working unit in the hospital (p=0.015). Conclusion: A majority of the nurses had a good level of knowledge but showed negative attitudes towards patients’ rights. Therefore, continuing education programs for nurses should focus on improving their knowledge and attitudes towards patients’ rights to enhance the quality of care for patients.

Published: July 2022

Introduction: Knowledge about the relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI) and serum lipid levels is important in detecting the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The present study assessed the correlations of serum total cholesterol and triglyceride levels with BMI in a group of healthy undergraduates. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 104 students of the Faculty of Allied Health Sciences, University of Ruhuna. Serum total cholesterol and triglyceride levels of fasting blood samples were measured using enzymatic kits. Students’ heights and weights were measured, and BMI values were calculated. Information regarding students’ dietary habits, lifestyle and family history of diseases related to dyslipidemia was collected using a pre-tested and self-administered questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS-20.0. Results: Mean (±SD) serum total cholesterol and triglyceride levels of the samples were 191.34±36.13 mg/dL and 116.25±59.9 mg/dL, respectively. The mean BMI was 22.48±3.59kg/m2. The total population had significant positive correlations between; BMI and total cholesterol level (r=0.23, p=0.017), and BMI and triglyceride level (r=0.42, p<0.001). There was no significant correlation between BMI and cholesterol levels in male students (p=0.800) but, a significant positive correlation was found between triglyceride levels and BMI of them (p=0.017). Among female students, significant positive correlations with BMI were observed for both cholesterol (p=0.005) and triglyceride (p=0.002) levels. Family history of dyslipidemia related disease conditions showed a significant effect on the elevation of serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels of the students. Although there was no significant difference, the highest serum lipid levels were detected among students who consumed eggs more than once a day. Conclusions: Significant positive correlations were found between BMI and both serum total cholesterol and triglycerides levels in female students. Among the male students, there was a significant positive correlation between BMI and triglycerides, and no correlation between BMI and cholesterol levels.

Published: July 2022

Introduction: Ventilator-associated Pneumonia (VAP) is the commonest hospital-acquired infection among mechanically ventilated patients in Intensive Care Units (ICUs). Previous studies on ICU nurses report poor practice on VAP and preventive measures. The study aimed to assess knowledge on VAP and its prevention among ICU nurses from two teaching hospitals in Sri Lanka. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 127 nurses from adult ICUs. Data were collected using a pre-tested self-administered questionnaire and analysed using SPSS version 20. Knowledge levels were categorized as good (above 75%), average (50-75%) and poor (below 50%). Results: Overall results showed that 62.2% had average, 33.1% had good, and 4.7% had poor knowledge on VAP and its prevention. The mean knowledge score was 70.15±10.5. Most participants had good knowledge on the meaning of VAP (68.5%), upper respiratory tract functions (84.3%), causative microorganisms (56.7%) and mode of transmission (78.7%). The majority had an average knowledge on standard precautions (48.8%) for VAP and poor knowledge on signs of VAP (52%). Regarding prevention of VAP, most of them had good knowledge on natural preventive mechanisms (92.1%), using of suction catheters (96.9%) and reducing microbial colonization in the oropharynx (93.7%). In contrast, poor knowledge was evident on minimum endotracheal (ET) suction pressure (69.3%), minimum ET cuff pressure (64.6%), early weaning from ventilator (72.4%), and disinfection of ventilator parts (53.5%). Conclusions: Overall knowledge of ICU nurses on VAP and its preventive measures was average. Knowledge deficiencies were identified in preventive strategies in maintaining airways and disinfection.

Published: July 2022

The article is presenting results of the third stage of the examination of primary school students for the identification and assessment of the severity of structural and functional abnormalities of the central nervous system (CNS) that arose in connection with perinatal exposure to ethanol — 77 children with previously identified delayed physical development of various degrees and characteristic dysmorphological disorders were examined. The identification of structural abnormalities to the CNS was carried out on the basis of assessing the correspondence of the occipital frontal circumference of the child’s head with the normative values for a specific sex and age, determination of functional abnormalities was carried out on the basis of an assessment of intellectual development based on the results of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children and behavioral characteristics according to the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales.The presence of structural abnormalities to the CNS, manifested by a decrease in the occipital frontal circumference 2 or more standard deviations below the mean for the age norm, was revealed in 59 patients (77%). A serious functional disorder of the CNS, manifested by mild and moderate mental retardation, was found in 23 children (30%). Mild or moderate functional impairment of the CNS in the form of delayed cognitive development was found in 21 children (27%).Assessment of behavior and adaptive skills revealed a significant number of children (72%), whose adaptive behaviors were unfavorably different from the norm. The most common ones were: low concentration of attention — in 77%, increased anxiety and fear — in 65%, hyperactivity — in 60%, impulsivity — in 44%, outbursts of anger — in 43%, deceit and theft — in 40%, excessive dependence or codependency — in 38%, deliberate destruction of one’s own or someone else’s property — in 14% of children.Statistically significant inverse correlations of a high level of significance (p≤0.01) between indicators of nonverbal intelligence and maladaptive behavior were obtained. Inverse correlations between structural abnormalities of the CNS and nonverbal intelligence are presented at the tendency level.

Shelter is one of the basic needs of human beings. Masonry structures have met this need since ancient times. Masonry structures have an important place among the building types. It is also under construction in many rural areas. Since protecting historical structures is among our most important duties, we need to know the repair and strengthening methods and methods of such masonry structures, and to be able to apply the best to that structure. Metal fasteners (clamp and tenon) are used in the repair and reinforcement of masonry structures.
Although it is known that these metal fasteners will contribute positively to the structures, it is not known how to use them in the most effective way. This study presents experimental studies aiming to find the most effective use of tenons, which are metal fasteners connecting vertical units in historical buildings. Variables in the experimental study were the tenon diameter and the tenon penetration depth into the stone. In the experimental study, it will be tried to determine which variables will be used in order to obtain more positive results with anchorage (tensile) experiments. It is exciting that this experimental study, which aims to find the most effective use of fasteners that have been used for centuries and still continues to be used, is the first of its kind. In addition, due to the subject of this study, it is thought that it will be an example for future studies.

I used Blackboard, WebCT, Moodle, Nicenet and RCampus in teaching reading, writing, vocabulary and grammar courses to freshman students as a supplement to in-class instruction that depended on the textbook. In each online course, there was a student leader. Student leaders had the highest posts and responses (between 50- 150 posts) and the highest student-student and student-instructor interaction. Student leaders were the first to register. They posted their own threads, short paragraphs, poems and/ or stories on the online discussion board. One posted a daily quote, another posted a weekly poem of hers, and a third posted a daily joke. They could locate information from internet sites. They responded to threads posted by me or by their classmates. They created a warm online climate by responding to their classmates, by sending encouraging messages and thank-you notes, and inviting students to respond to their own posts. Student leaders had a higher proficiency level in EFL, were well-read, had a good writing ability, and many were creative writers. They were more competent and more comfortable with technology than their classmates and above all they were highly motivated and eager to learn. This qualitative study explores a sample of student leaders’ role in their online courses, their technological and linguistic competence, their personality traits, the online course environment, their attitutes and online learning experiences, and the instructor’s role and characteristics. It also provides sample posts and responses and reports results of interviews with a sample of student leaders.
Konstruksi Teoritis Pembentukan Teori Negara Hukum Pancasila (NHP)
Authors: Wiratmadinata Wiratmadinata 
Published: July 2022

Di dalam ranah Ilmu Hukum di Indonesia belakangan ini berkembang istilah Negara Hukum Pancasila (NHP), tetapi sesungguhnya kerangka teori mengenai NHP ini masih belum disepakati secara luas, karena masing-masing sarjana memiliki cara pandang sendiri mengenai konsep NHP. Oleh karena itu Teori NHP pada dasarnya masih bersifat Ide Hukum atau Cita-Cita Hukum (Rechtsidee) bangsa Indonesia, sehingga sangatlah penting untuk mengkaji ide hukum ini secara lebih jauh dalam perspektif teorisasi, berdasarkan teori-teori yang sudah ada. Berdasarkan pemahaman seperti itu, kajian ini mencoba mengkonstruksikan Teori Negara Hukum Pancasila, berdasarkan tiga pendekatan teori yang sudah ada, yakni Teori Negara Hukum (umum), Teori Volkgesit dari Von Savigny sertaTeori Sistim Hukum dari Lawrence Friedmann
HAKIKAT HAK ASASI MANUSIA DALAM PERSPEKTIF ISLAM DAN BARAT
Authors: Fuadi  
Published: July 2022

Allah SWT sebagai pencipta manusia telah mengatur Hak Asasi manusia yang terdapat di dalam Al-Qur’an dan Sunnah RasulNya. Hak Asasi Manusia dalam perspektif Islam hanya Allahlah yang mengetahui batasan dan koridor aturan yang akan menjamin hak-hak dan kebahagiaan kepada manusia. Namun berbeda dengan Hak Asasi Manusia (HAM) versi pandangan Barat yang lahir dari hasil pemikiran manusia. Artikel ini mencoba membahas bagaimana hakikat Hak Asasi Manusia dalam perspektif Islam dan Barat. Adapun metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian hukum normative (doctrinal) yang hanya menggunakan data sekunder atau kajian perpustakaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya perbedaan yang mendasar bahwa Hak Asasi Manusia menurut pandangan Islam pada hakikatnya dibangun atas Ideology Islam sedangkan dalam pandangan barat umumnya dibangun atas pandangan para filosof barat yang berasaskan kepada akal pikiran manusia berdasarkan Idiologi sekuler. Hal ini jelas terlihat sejarah perjuangan Hak Asasi Manusia di dunia berdasar dokumen-dokomen Hak Asasi Manusia mulai Negara Inggris sampai dengan Universal Declaration of Haman Rights di Perserikan Bangsa-Bangsa
