Analisa Perbandingan Hasil Trombosit Pada Alat Hematologi Analyzer Metode Impedance dan Metode Optik Pada Kasus Anemia Hipokrom Mikrositer (Berdasarkan Indeks Eritrosit)

Platelets have an important role in hemostasis, namely the formation and stabilization of platelet plugs. There are several methods in the counting of platelets. They can be carried out in a direct and an indirect manner. The direct method can be carried out in an automatic and automatic way. The automatic method uses an hematology analyzer which functions to measure and examine blood cells in blood samples. Counting the number of platelets is done automatically by two methods, namely optical and impedance which have different principles. The optical method is based on cell size and morphology, while impedance is based on cell size only. Hypochrome is a condition where the Hb concentration is less than normal so that the central achromia widens (> 1/3 of the cell) and there is a decrease in the color of the erythrocytes, namely an increase in the diameter of the central pallor above normal so that it looks paler. Microcyte is a condition where the cell size is smaller than normal. The purpose of this study was to determine the difference in the number of platelets in the hematology analyzer using the impedance method and the optical method in the case of microcytic hypochromic anemia (based on erythrocyte index) with a descriptive analytical research design. The test used is the paired t-test with a total sample of 30 samples. The results of platelets using the impedance method have an average of 339.37 * 103 / uL with a standard deviation of 120.294. The results of platelets using the optical method have an average of 314.70 * 103 / uL with a standard deviation of 113.569. A significant value of 0.000 significant value of (sig. < 0.05) can be concluded that there is a difference between the results of platelets on the hematology analyzer using the impedance method and the optical method in cases of microcytic hypochromic anemia (based on erythrocyte index).

REINFORCING AND REPULSING THE STAGES OF LIFE’S WAY: A KIERKEGAARDIAN READING OF PHILIP ROTH’S SABBATH’S THEATER (1995)

This paper unveils the postmodernist patina of Philip Roth’s novel Sabbath’s Theater through the affairs of its main character Morris “Mickey” Sabbath—a 64-year-old puppeteer who finds absolute delight in pursuing the base pleasures of life and one who also indulges himself in the American world bringing him to a state of alienation and destruction. We attempt to present Sabbath as the “aesthete” who greatly wallows in the fleshly pleasures of life. His sexual trysts generate the grounds for discoursing on the matter of sex as a potent postmodern site of disorder, self-cognizance, and reflexivity that leads towards annihilation of the self. In our analysis, we present him akin to an animal wallowing in base pleasures. Bounded by the “finite” from the perspective of the philosopher Soren Kierkegaard, his sexual trysts, ethnic displacements, and the juggling between home (Jewish origins) and host (American landscape) are factors that make it not possible for Sabbath to acquire a true self. Capitalizing on the descriptive-analytical research design, the paper leans on the critical concepts expounded by the philosopher Soren Kierkegaard particularly his three stages of life and the discourse on finitude in further making sense of Mickey Sabbath’s untamed pursuit of worldly desires. We present Sabbath greatly wallowing in the aesthetic stage of life. The ethical and religious stages are depicted only as specters that persistently confront the novel’s hero. The findings highlight Sabbath as the aesthete and pleasure-seeker who wallows in sexual pleasures as well as the person who immerses himself in art and other intellectual pursuits. All the worldly feats that affect the disposition of Sabbath compel him to spurn the ethical stage. This leads to the assertion that there is no commitment to virtue and integrity on the part of the Sabbath that can lead to the religious stage of life.

Defining fascist pluralism's role in the development of modernity

In the sphere of politics, particularly in the area of governance, fascism is a fluid and undefined phenomenon whose nature, despite the best efforts of theorists and philosophers in the political and social sciences, remains shrouded in mystery. In a metaphor, populism is like a mirror room where every essence that is put in it gets lost among thousands of other images of a similar kind. This confusion is the point that fascist aspires to get at among various socioeconomic strata. In order to determine which political component or components fascism, with such a fluid nature, seeks to achieve, we attempt to provide general results from the origins of fascism; its characteristics and patterns of behavior, especially in the field of pluralism and how it treats modernity, by providing explanations of fascism research. In a way, the goal of this paper is to explore, clarify, and show how to use the markers of modernity and the relationship between fascist institutions. This article used a descriptive-analytical research design to discuss the topic using an interpretive-critical framework. This article's study is based on a methodical approach using the terms "fascism" and "modernity."

Resilience and its relationship with occupational stress and professional quality of life during COVID-19 pandemic

ABSTRACT This study aimed to assess resilience and its relationship with occupational stress (OS) and PQOL among nurses in COVID-19 isolation wards. This is a descriptive-analytical research design involving 158 frontline nurses in the Iran. Four standardized scales were used for data collection. The total mean scores of resilience and OS were 26.19 ± 6.2 and 73.3 ± 14.5, respectively. The mean scores of participants’ resilience and OS had no significant relationship with their demographic characteristics (P > 0.05). Resilience had significant negative relationship with OS (r = – 0.376, P < 0.001) and significant positive relationship with the compassion satisfaction dimension of PQOL (r = 0.373; P < 0.001). Resilience was also a significant predictor of OS and the compassion satisfaction dimension of PQOL (P < 0.001). Nurses’ OS can be reduced through resilience-promoting strategies such as development of their social support network, improvement of their optimism, and provision of resilient role models and quality resilience-related education.
