Literature in EFL/ESL Classroom: Integrating Conventional Poetry as Authentic Material
Authors: Islam Muhammmad Reazul 
Published: October 2022

The paper aims to explore how poetry and poetic devices function as authentic sources and as required materials for teaching and learning English as a second language or a foreign language. It affirms that different modes of poetry, for example, tongue twisters, children's rhymes, sonnets, short and long poems, etc., can be stimulating, appealing, and above all, the natural material to the EFL/ESL classrooms. Through an interactive and integrated teaching approach, the paper intends to promote and motivate learners and teachers to use poetry as a functional source of literature for teaching English as a target language. Simultaneously, the study emphasises the constructive function of literature in developing a language learning process. The paper represents general sources or materials widely used in EFL/ ESL classrooms for decades. It proclaims why including authentic or natural material is inevitable to revitalize the language learning process. It profoundly claims that using conventional poetry in EFL/ESL classrooms can empower the teaching pedagogy with its own stylistic and pragmatic features. To focus on the pedagogical dimension of poetry in second language classrooms, the article demonstrates how a poem can relate to and integrate to enhance the English language and covers the four core language skills, grammar, and vocabulary through a series of interactive classroom activities.
Konsequenzen der "los"-Suffigierung im Deutschen: Korpushäufigkeit, emotional-affektive Effekte und konstruktionsgrammatische Perspektiven
Authors: Wolfer Sascha , Hein Katrin 
Published: October 2022

Based on the privative derivational suffix -los, we test statements found in the literature on word formation using a – at least in this field – novel empirical basis: a list of affective-emotional ratings of base nouns and associated -los derivations. In addition to a frequency analysis based on the German Reference Corpus, we show that, in general, emotional polarity (so-called valence, positive vs. negative emotions) is reversed by suffixation with -los. This change is stronger for more polarized base nouns. The perceived intensity of emotion (so-called arousal) is generally lower for -los derivations than for base nouns. Finally, to capture the results theoretically, we propose a prototypical -los construction in the framework of Construction Morphology.

L’accueil des huguenots dans les pays du Refuge à la fin du XVIIe siècle
Authors: Krumenacker Yves 
Published: October 2022

Les pays du Refuge accueillent les huguenots pour des raisons religieuses, mais aussi économiques. Ils ciblent des métiers précis en accordant des privilèges : exemptions fiscales, dons de terres, liberté par rapport aux corporations, etc. S’ajoutent très souvent le droit de bourgeoisie, la liberté de culte et le traitement des pasteurs. Il y a cependant un durcissement par la suite à cause du trop grand nombre de réfugiés. Les réfugiés choisissent leur destination en fonction des liens antérieurs, familiaux, intellectuels, commerciaux, qu’ils avaient avec certains pays ou grâce aux nouvelles qui leur parviennent par des journaux, des lettres, des affiches, ou par des contacts directs avec des émissaires des différents gouvernements. Mais leur intégration et leur assimilation varient en fonction des conditions d’accueil.
Les épreuves de l’hospitalité : deux voyageurs indiens en France pendant la Terreur (1793-1794)
Authors: Markovits Rahul 
Published: October 2022

Au printemps 1793, deux voyageurs indiens, Navazish Khan et Ahmad Khan, débarquèrent à Marseille. Ils étaient en route pour Londres afin de porter plainte de la spoliation dont leur famille avait été victime en 1772 lorsque la ville de Bharuch avait été conquise par l’East India Company. En suivant à la trace les voyageurs au cours de leur passage en France, cette contribution l’envisage comme un cas limite de l’administration de l’étranger pendant la période révolutionnaire. Leurs interactions avec les autorités sont conçues comme autant d’« épreuves » au terme desquelles ils devaient parvenir à établir et faire reconnaître leur identité. Elle met l’accent sur le rôle des intermédiaires qui leur permirent de passer ces épreuves et sur le regard porté par Ahmad Khan sur la nature bureaucratique et comptable de l’hospitalité française.
Reconnaître, classer et contrôler les Français réfugiés à Venise à la fin du XVIIIe siècle (1790-1797)
Authors: Bertrand Gilles 
Published: October 2022

L’usage de noter les arrivées et départs d’étrangers à Venise dans les hôtels se renouvela sous la Révolution du fait de l’afflux des émigrés français. Les Inquisiteurs d’État et les Esecutori contro la bestemmia, entre autres, se mirent de 1790 à 1797 à faire le tri entre exilés, passants et résidents des diverses nations tout en veillant à ne pas s’aliéner le gouvernement français. Si les Français furent une cible privilégiée, le contrôle s’élargit à partir de 1794 aux réfugiés de contrées voisines, Suisses, Piémontais et Génois, et la remontée des informations se précisa depuis les villes de la Terre ferme. Malgré ses limites et contradictions, cette politique déboucha sur une volonté de quadrillage spatial où le souci de localiser les présences de Français réfugiés amena à repenser les stratégies de surveillance de l’ensemble des étrangers, jusque-là dispensés d’exhiber un passeport à Venise en raison de la tradition d’accueil que professait la République.
Transcender les frontières. Surveillance, contrôle, et administration des anarchistes italiens en exil (fin XIXe – début XXe siècle)
Authors: Beugniet Thomas 
Published: October 2022

Dans le dernier tiers du XIXe siècle, le mouvement anarchiste italien s’internationalise en raison d’une émigration économique et de la répression intransigeante de l’État italien. Face à la menace anarchiste, celui-ci développe des moyens de surveillance nationaux et transnationaux innovants. L’État italien choisit au tournant des années 1870 de créer une police internationale. Cette présence de l’État italien à l’étranger se manifeste par des procédures de surveillance politique et policière, mais aussi par des pratiques sociales, administratives et judiciaires. Dans cette communication, il s’agit d’étudier la présence de la police italienne en territoire étranger et les moyens utilisés par les autorités italiennes de l’époque pour surveiller, contrôler et réprimer l’activisme et la mobilité des anarchistes italiens en dehors des frontières nationales.
Time Spent by Intensive Care Unit Nurses on the Electronic Health Record
Authors: Khan Ahsan R. , Rosenthal Courtney D. , Ternes Kelly , Sing Ronald F. , Sachdev Gaurav 
Published: October 2022

Background
The amount of time spent on the electronic health record is often cited as a contributing factor to burnout and work-related stress in nurses. Increased electronic health record use also reduces the time nurses have for direct contact with patients and families. There has been minimal investigation into the amount of time intensive care unit nurses spend on the electronic health record.

Objective
To quantify the amount of time spent by intensive care unit nurses on the electronic health record.

Methods
In this observational study, active electronic health record use time was analyzed for 317 intensive care unit nurses in a single institution from January 2019 through July 2020. Monthly data on electronic health record use by nurses in the medical, neurosurgical, and surgical-trauma intensive care units were evaluated.

Results
Full-time intensive care unit nurses spent 28.9 hours per month on the electronic health record, about 17.5% of their clinical shift, for a total of 346.3 hours per year. Part-time nurses and those working as needed spent 20.5 hours per month (17.6%) and 7.4 hours per month (14.2%) on the electronic health record, respectively. Neurosurgical and medical intensive care unit nurses spent 25.0 hours and 19.9 hours per month, respectively. Nurses averaged 23 clicks per minute during use. Most time was spent on the task of documentation at 12.3 hours per month, which was followed by medical record review at 2.6 hours per month.

Conclusion
Intensive care unit nurses spend at least 17% of their shift on the electronic health record, primarily on documentation. Future interventions are necessary to reduce time spent on the electronic health record and to improve nurse and patient satisfaction.
Comparison of commercial assays and two-step approach to detect Clostridioides difficile in South Africa
Authors: Singh Sarishna , Newton-Foot Mae , Nel Pieter , Pienaar Colette 
Published: October 2022

Background: Clostridioides difficile is the number one cause of hospital-acquired diarrhoea. Accurate diagnosis of C. difficile is of utmost importance as it guides patient management and infection control practices. Studies evaluating the performance of commercially available nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) versus algorithms are lacking in resource-limited settings.Objective: This study assessed the performance of three commercially available tests and a two-step approach for the diagnosis of C. difficile infection using toxigenic culture (TC) as the gold standard.Methods: Two hundred and twenty-three non-duplicate loose stool samples were submitted to the National Health Laboratory Service Microbiology Laboratory at Tygerberg Hospital, Cape Town, South Africa, from October 2017 to October 2018. The samples were tested in parallel using the C. DIFF QUIK CHEK COMPLETE enzyme immunoassay (EIA) and two NAATs (Xpert C. difficile and BD MAX Cdiff), and the results were compared to TC. The performance of a two-step approach consisting of the C. DIFF QUIK CHEK COMPLETE followed by the Xpert C. difficile was also determined.Results: Of 223 faecal specimens tested, 37 (16.6%) were TC-positive. The sensitivity and specificity of the C. DIFF QUIK CHEK COMPLETE were 54.1% and 98.9%; Xpert C. difficile, 86.4% and 96.8%; BD MAX Cdiff, 89.2% and 96.8%; and two-step approach, 89.2% and 96.2%.Conclusion: The C. DIFF QUIK CHEK COMPLETE, in a two-step approach with the Xpert C. difficile, performed similarly to the NAATs on their own and offer advantages in terms of cost and workflow in low-resource settings.
Audit of amylase and lipase requests in suspected acute pancreatitis and cost implications, South Africa
Authors: Cook Annie E. , Jalavu Thumeka P. , Zemlin Annalise E. 
Published: October 2022

Background: The internationally accepted criteria for the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis (AP) requires two of the three following features to be present: characteristic abdominal pain, elevated serum amylase and/or lipase enzymes, or consistent imaging results. However, sensitivity and specificity can vary depending on the population and cut-off values used.Objective: This study evaluated the suitability of amylase and lipase as first-line diagnostic biomarkers of suspected AP for the local population served by Tygerberg Hospital, South Africa.Methods: This retrospective analysis was conducted in June 2019 using all amylase and/or lipase request data from December 2018. Patient clinical data were included in sensitivity and specificity analyses of amylase, lipase or dual requests for diagnosis of AP. Cost per test data were obtained from the National Health Laboratory Service and used to calculate the total cost of the tests and potential savings.Results: Sensitivity for lipase was 90.0% compared to 50.0% for amylase. Specificity was similar for singular measurements of lipase and amylase. Dual measurement of amylase and lipase showed no improvement in sensitivity (83.3%) and only a minor increase in specificity (97.4%) compared with measurement of lipase alone. The estimated savings was R2522.85 ($174.98 USD), with a potential annual cost saving of R84 423.74 ($5855.69 USD).Conclusion: Lipase was shown to be a more sensitive biomarker compared to amylase for the screening of AP, providing evidence for laboratories to educate local staff and promote improved requesting practices by clinicians. Additionally, preventing unnecessary dual requests may reduce costs.

Authors: Ngwenya Kenneth , Naude Micheline J. , Wissink Henry F. 
Published: October 2022

Background: There has been a growing emphasis on airport development strategies as these strategies contribute towards economic growth and development. An aerotropolis as one of the initiatives is a strategy that facilitates the realignment of airports into economic hubs by increasing their scope of activities.Aim: To describe the Durban Aerotropolis strategy and contextualise its socio-economic impacts to the city and region of Durban, KwaZulu-Natal. The socio-economic factors utilised are limited to the environment, people (community) and the economy.Methods: A qualitative research approach was adopted and used sequentially, concurrently and iteratively. The findings and recommendations are based on 12 in-depth interviews and five focus group sessions with participants from the target population.Results: The Durban Aerotropolis development is in its initial stages of adoption, and there is evidence of early positive socio-economic impacts including employment creation, growth in imports and exports and the creation of a competitive environment.Conclusion: The success of the strategy has been attributed to the adoption of novel strategies and concepts that enable improved logistics and mobility planning, connectivity and responsiveness, amongst other critical success factors. This has seen several strategies being considered, including roadway expansions, network designs, mobility platforms and many other infrastructural developments. This will enable purposeful planning to ensure that the region and South Africa are economically viable and competitive.
What is public health ethics for the geriatric community?
Authors: Lategan Laetus , Van Zyl Gert , Kruger Willem 
Published: October 2022

Background: A growing ageing community puts additional demands on the public health system. This will contribute to ethical consequences for the health care sector. A public health ethics framework can contribute towards addressing the ethical challenges faced by the geriatric community.Aim: This article intends to contribute to a public health ethics framework for the geriatric community from a South African perspective.Setting: Twenty-two participants from six geriatric institutions, two each in the three provinces, participated in the research. The provinces are the Free State, Northern Cape and North West.Methods: Fifteen statements were rated using a five-point Likert scale questionnaire. The statements were grouped into three indexes, namely what is ethics, what is public health ethics and what is public health ethics for the geriatric community?Results: Ethical behaviour is observable not only from person to person but also through systems, processes and practices. The need is to understand how to apply ethical principles to the working environment. A public health ethic can be understood from applied, professional and social ethics.Conclusion: Public health ethics is the application of health care principles through a professional ethic resulting in care and relationship-building. The core of what public health is should be the basis to identify a public health ethic where the focus is on the community and improvement of the quality of health and well-being of the community.Contribution: No evidence of a public health ethics framework for the geriatric community could be identified in South Africa.
Barriers and facilitators to medicine collection through the CCMDD programme at a Durban Hospital
Authors: Hlongwana Simangele I. , Gray Andrew L. 
Published: October 2022

Background: South Africa has rekindled health reform efforts through the implementation of the Centralised Chronic Medicine Dispensing and Distribution (CCMDD) programme, as a precursor towards achieving envisioned National Health Insurance (NHI). The CCMDD programme enables stable patients to collect chronic medicines dispensed centrally from designated pick-up-points (PuPs). Barriers and facilitators of chronic medicine collection exist at different levels.Aim: To identify barriers and facilitators associated with patients’ characteristics and noncollection of CCMDD patient medicine parcels (PMPs).Setting: The study was conducted at a regional public sector hospital which provides support for 19 primary facilities.Methods: An observational cross-sectional comparative study was conducted.Results: There was no statistically significant difference in collection status in terms of most of the variables compared. Patients who had been on treatment longer or who were receiving multiple items were more likely to collect medication, as were patients with arthritis, HIV and AIDS, but the association was no longer significant after adjusting for other confounders. Patients using internal PuPs were significantly more likely to collect their PMPs than patients using external PuPs, and this may have implications for achieving CCMDD objectives.Conclusion: This study has revealed that recently diagnosed patients are enrolled onto the CCMDD programme whilst the chronic condition stability is not yet attained. Patients were also enrolled onto the programme at the referral facility instead of being down-referred.Contribution: This study makes a case for evaluation research to further assess the CCMDD programme implementation, in order to improve uptake and cost-effectiveness.
Using PhotoVoice to understand mindfulness in health care practitioners
Authors: Osman Iram , Singaram Veena 
Published: October 2022

Background: The disruptions of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic have placed added stress on health care practitioners’ (HCPs) mental health. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have been reported to increase the awareness of burnout and promote self-care practices that enhance mental well-being.Aim: To gain insight into the use of mindfulness through the lens of PhotoVoice on how HCPs reflected on their stressors and sense of self whilst working as frontline workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.Setting: This study was conducted online with HCPs working in South Africa during the first wave of COVID-19.Method: A four-week MBI intervention was implemented using Zoom. An exploratory qualitative analysis was conducted using a PhotoVoice methodology. Interpretative phenomenological analysis was used to generate themes. Fifty-five HCPs consented to participate in this study.Results: The major themes identified were operating on autopilot, feeling a sense of overwhelm because of COVID-19, using faith to cope and being able to attain a sense of self-compassion by the end of the intervention.Conclusions: Using visual representations, HCPs were able to share the development of their reperceived lived experiences of increased self-compassion as they navigated the dilemmas and disruptions of the pandemic.Contribution: A brief online MBI was impactful enough to show a reappraisal of the stressors of COVID-19, such that HCPs felt calmer, more competent and more compassionate. PhotoVoice methodology is recommended for future studies and mindfulness courses. It facilitates a deeper understanding of the practice of imbuing mindfulness and its impact on stressors and the self.
Factors affecting the provision of health service delivery in schools in Engela district, Ohangwena region, Namibia
Authors: Ashipala Daniel O. , Shapopi Miina 
Published: October 2022

Background: While health services have been offered at various schools in Namibia since independence in 1990, coverage has been limited and there has been a notable decline in recent years. This reduction of services is of great concern, with questions being raised regarding what factors are affecting the provision of these services.Aim: To explore the factors affecting the provision of health services to schools in Engela district, Ohangwena region, Namibia.Settings: Semistructured interviews were conducted at a public health care facility situated in the northern part of Namibia.Methods: A qualitative, explorative, descriptive and contextual research design was utilised. Data were collected through semistructured interviews with 15 nurses from a health centre, of whom five were enrolled nurses and 10 were registered nurses. The data were then analysed thematically.Results: The study revealed three themes: participants’ understanding of school health services; factors affecting the delivery of school health services; and corrective measures for improving the delivery of school health services.Conclusion: The notable decline in health service provision to various schools within the district suggests that there might be factors affecting the provision of school health services, posing a serious challenge to the active implementation of the School Health Programme.Contribution: These findings could be used to make adjustments to the provision of school health services and will also serve as an information baseline to elicit suggestions for future research related to school health services.
Current norms and practices in using a seizure diary for managing epilepsy: A scoping review
Authors: Egenasi Chika K. , Moodley Anandan A. , Steinberg Wilhelm J. , Adefuye Anthonio O. 
Published: October 2022

Background: Epilepsy is a chronic and debilitating condition affecting people of all ages in many nations. Healthcare practitioners look for effective ways to track patients’ seizures, and a seizure diary is one of the methods used. This scoping review sought to identify current norms and practices for using seizure diaries to manage epilepsy.Method: A scoping review was performed by screening relevant studies and identifying themes, categories and subcategories.Results: A total of 1125 articles were identified from the database; 46 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility, of which 23 articles were selected. The majority (48%) of the studies were prospective studies. The majority (65%) of the articles were studies conducted in the United States. The themes identified were types of seizure diaries used in clinical practice, contents and structure of a standardised seizure diary, the use and efficacy of seizure diaries in medicine and challenges relating to using a seizure diary for patient management.Conclusion: The study revealed that a seizure diary remains a relevant tool in managing epilepsy. The two forms of diaries in use are electronic and paper-based diaries. The high cost of data and the expensive devices required to access electronic diaries make it unsuitable in a resource-limited setting. Despite its disadvantages, imperfections and inadequacies, the paper-based diary is still relevant for managing patients with epilepsy in resource-limited settings.Contribution: This study reviewed the literature to find the current norms and practices in using seizure diaries. The benefits of the different formats were emphasised.
