GUARDA MUNICIPAL NA AREA DE FRONTEIRA COM SUA CONTRIBIÇÃO E A BUSCA DA VALORIZAÇÃO DA CLASSE

The objective of this work is the questioning about the public servant operating in the frontier line and its work qualities, having as manifesto the public safety professionals, especially the Municipal Guard of Corumbá state Mato Grosso do Sul, that has been contributing with the other forces of security in our municipality in this border area. Questionnaires were prepared within the institution of the Municipal Guard, as well as in other public security forces, focusing on institutional subsidies related to the quality of work of the public servant operating near the border - Corumbá-MS-BR / Bolivia. The tools used in this article are intended to map the fundamental questions of these public servants, obtaining the point of view of each worker on this journey in the border of our state of Sul-Mato-Grossense, having as experience in day to day work, uncovering the problems of the exercise of his position, as well as the institution that serves, with the purpose of collecting data on public security cases in this frontier area, with the merger of the current management. Through this study, it will be exposed how the servers in this border area work intensely, especially the Municipal Guard, which in turn, works in partnerships with other forces, subsidizing public safety in the region of Corumbá-MS, and with this, there is no increase in their salary but rather great work to be done by these servers in this border area. We trust that this study can improve the knowledge of executive managers as an amazing tool to be used in discussions of future laws and disciplinary rules for the servers established in the role of public security in this border region.

The Increase in the Ability to Speak through the Katumbar Media in Children Aged 3-4 Years in Kindergarten

Word cards pictorial of one of the media that can help the development of the ability to speak the child, because the media card images are concrete. From the observation of the researcher, the problem that often occurs in the KB Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal 1 Candi. The ability to speak, children Play Groups yet can achieve optimal development, this is because the ability to speak the child is not smooth and less interestingly media used during the learning process takes place. Therefore it is necessary supporting media so that the kids want to reveal the experience of day - to- day, so that children become excited in following the learning and the goal of the teacher to improve the speaking skills of children can be successfully and running maximum by using the Card Word Picture. This research using the Method of Classroom Action Research to improve the ability to speak. This study was conducted in 2 cycles. The study was conducted in three stages namely pre-cycle, cycle I and cycle II to obtain the results as expected. In the pre cycle, most children still acquire an average value of 44,98% while in the first cycle the percentage value increases so that the obtained percentage value to be 63,31%, which means less than the maximum. Then the researchers proceeded to give the action in cycle II, after doing research on the second cycle is the percentage of the average value of the child becomes 81,66%, resulting from the acquisition of the average in cycle I and cycle II increased again. It can be seen from the comparison between cycle I and cycle II during the study. From the results obtained, there is an increase in proving that with the Word Cards Picture can improve the Speaking ability of the child.

Walter Day

This article examines the life of Walter Day, a key figure in the history of competitive video gaming and whose involvement in this industry has been connected to his own spiritual beliefs and directions. Here, the influence of Day, the former owner of Twin Galaxies and creator of the first International Scoreboard, will be presented by examining the history of his life. A pivotal religious experience of Day, while under the influence of LSD in the 1960s, will be shown to have directly informed his decision to join the Eastern influenced new religious movement of Transcendental Meditation under the stewardship of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi which gave him the tools and direction that would be essential for his video gaming career. The training that the Maharishi would provide to Day will be explored and shown to have informed his understanding of religious experiences, or flow states, and how this could manifest with a player of a classic video game at an arcade. This understanding will be shown to have interested Day enough not only to endeavour to be the first video game pilgrim, but for him to continue a lifelong pilgrimage of recording and sharing oral history of players who reach their full potential.

Tourism changing the edge of the wild

Semi-wilderness areas located at the edge of the wild may be seen as buffer zones between the more isolated wilderness and the urbanized environments. Increased tourism in semi-wilderness areas has put pressure on increased accessibility, placing at risk many of the features attracting tourists. Hence, wilderness areas with increasing access are facing a variety of challenges. Using visitor experiences in the management of such areas has been identified as a powerful tool. This study aims to assess the experiences and preferences for environmental conditions and infrastructure in a semi-wilderness area among day and overnight visitors, foreseeing increased accessibility at the edge of the southern highlands of Iceland. Based on a questionnaire survey, preferences of day and overnight visitors were compared using independent t-tests, and the impact of length of stay and level of purism on infrastructure preferences was explored using two-way ANOVA. A significant difference is found between day and overnight visitors regarding their tolerance for crowding and needs for infrastructure; overnight visitors being more sensitive in both cases, day visitors expressing greater needs for facilities and services. Furthermore, length of stay is more important than the purism score in determining infrastructural preferences. It is concluded that the expected growth in day visitor numbers is likely to result in degrading wilderness values available for overnight visitors who seek solitude and limited infrastructure. Management approachesPlanning semi-wilderness areas as a response to increasing levels of accessibility, with the resulting shift in wilderness-values, will cause further changes in visitor types attracted to the area. By identifying the type and extent of impact that the establishment of extensive infrastructure improvements and improved access can have on the experiences of day and overnight visitors, their effects can be examined and addressed in a flexible manner by management, in order to preserve the attractiveness of the area and the wilderness experience in semi-wildernesses.

Media and the Urban Night

Along with the other materials and rituals of urban life, media have played a role in structuring the transition from day to night in cities. This essay examines a variety of ways in which the appearance and consumption of media have been interwoven with the 24-hour cycle of day and night. The rhythms of media availability have shifted throughout the past hundred years, in ways which have altered the experience of day and night. Similarly, media have devised a variety of forms, genres and styles with which to capture and express characteristics of the urban night.

Growing up with Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia in Bradford, UK: exploring patients experiences as a physiotherapist

Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) is a condition which causes impaired mucociliary clearance, resulting in sputum retention and recurrent respiratory tract infections. Physiotherapy, in the form of airway clearance techniques and exercise is recommended to patients with PCD to facilitate sputum clearance. As children diagnosed with PCD develop into adults, understanding their experiences of growing up with this long-term condition and undertaking physiotherapy may help to provide insight to clinicians. No previous research has been published which explores the lived experiences of children and young people with PCD. The prevalence of PCD in Bradford in the North of the UK is unusually high, signifying the importance of understanding the experiences of this patient population. This qualitative study used Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis to allow the researcher, as a physiotherapist, to investigate the lived experiences of five paediatric patients with PCD. While patients’ experiences are all unique, three themes emerged across the analysis of the interviews: (1) the experiences of day to day life with the symptoms and treatment burden of PCD; (2) participants’ awareness of their own symptoms and knowledge of PCD; and (3) the development of mastery skills and devolution of management from the family to the growing child. The results from this study suggested that facilitation of disease acceptance, strategies to increase patient empowerment, the use of patient-centred communication and understanding the contextualisation of patients’ experiences may all help to guide clinical practice.

To Admit or Not to Admit on the Morning of Surgery: Patients' Perspectives on Day of Surgery Admission

Patient experience of day of surgery admission (DOSA) has not been studied in depth. Over a one-month period a questionnaire was given to consecutive patients prior to their surgery to obtain their perspective on the desirability of DOSA and to examine whether other factors influenced this decision. 149 patients participated; across all age groups there was a statistically significant difference in preferring DOSA (p = 0.01).

Troubles to the light: an exploration of the night in an adolescent inpatient unit

This article is an exploration of the night as experienced in a residential inpatient mental health unit for adolescents. It argues that there is a qualitative difference between the experience of day and night time for both the young people and staff on the unit. Two case studies are used: a 15-year-old who refused to sleep, and a 16-year-old who would self-harm nightly. It argues that the night evokes and intensifies primitive states of mind, usually dominated by powerful persecutory anxiety, and that these cause extreme distress and risky acting-out behaviour. The author, however, suggests that there are also opportunities at night that can bring about meaningful connections between the young people and staff, and offer insight to both.

Parental Experiences, Coping Strategies and Level of Satisfaction Following Paediatric Day - Case Surgery in a Tertiary Health Institution in Nigeria.

Background : Little is known about the home experience, coping strategies and level of satisfaction of parents following day-case surgery performed on their children in developing countries. Objective: To evaluate the experiences, coping strategies and level of satisfaction of parents following day case surgery performed on their children. Methodology: A 48 hour post-discharge survey of parents of 152 consecutive children who underwent day–case surgery over a period of 18 months was extracted from our routine database. Information obtained included, postoperative complications and treatment applied; parents’ coping strategies, use of primary care facilities following discharge; their level of satisfaction, or otherwise, of day case surgery performed on their children, postoperative pain control at home, their involvement in the postoperative care of their children, and how they found the nursing responsibility they had to bear. Results: There were142 (93.4%) males, and 10 (6.6%) females. The age ranged between 21days and 14years, with a mean age of 33.4 ± 34.4 months. The most common Surgical procedure was herniotomy, (132 or 86.8%), followed by orchidopexy (13or 8.6 %), and excision biopsy (7or 4.6 %). Eighty-eight parents (57.9%) reported one or more complications at home, with pain which occured in 69 (45.4%) children being the commonest. Although, this figure is statistically significant (p = 0.035), all the complications were minor; and majority of them were easily handled within the limit of the medical support services available within the community. None of the cases required hospital admission for management of complications. There was no mortality in our series. Although, a statistically significant number of parents (55 or 36.2%), p = 0.000, found the nursing responsibility they had to bear at home unacceptable, a higher proportion 89 (58.6%) found the responsibility acceptable or challenging, while 8 (5.8%) parents were indifferent. Virtually all, except one parent expressed satisfaction with their experiences of day–case treatment for their children, and 144 (94. 7%) of them would recommend similar treatment to others. Conclusion: Parental satisfaction with paediatric day-case surgery in our hospital is high. Although minor morbidities were experienced at home, they were not severe enough to overwhelm the coping abilities of the parents.

The Use of Descriptive Words and Metaphor in Patient and Carer Experience of Palliative Day Care: Secondary Analysis of a Qualitative Study

Background:An independent evaluation of changes to the delivery of Palliative Day Services was carried out during 2006-2007 using interviews with service users. The analysis found that the words and metaphors employed by users of services emphasized their emotional response to the changes, and helped to explain their depth of feeling about their experiences, warranting further investigation.Aim:To conduct a secondary analysis on interview data collected for the Day Services Evaluation Study in order to understand how patients and their carers use descriptive words and metaphor when talking about their experiences of palliative day services.Methods:Interview transcripts from 40 patients and 8 carers were subjected to secondary thematic analysis. These were read individually and coded where metaphor or descriptive words had been used to emphasize the effect of the illness and the experiences of the Day Services.Findings:Examples of the metaphorical expressions and words used described the service as a ‘secure rock in a changing world’; transition was felt as ‘sadness’, a ‘betrayal’, with feelings that the changes were ‘bitter and twisted;’ and left ‘a black hole’. Post transition the mood had changed to acceptance ‘When life throws lemons at you, you make lemonade’.Conclusions:The metaphors and descriptive words used act as what we describe as ‘emotional intensifiers’ which provide a measure of the impact of the effect of illness, the effect of the day services on users and carers and the intensity of feeling during the time of transition.

Day 2 versus day 3 embryo TRANSFER for the patients with no embryo selection: A case control study

Although an increase in clinical pregnancy rate following day 3 versus day 2 embryo transfer (ET) has been demonstrated, consequent miscarriage abolishes this beneficial effect. Moreover, day 2 ET has been reported to improve IVF-ET outcome in poor-responding patients by reducing environmental stresses imposed on embryos by in vitro culture (Frankfurter et al, Fertil Steril, sppl, 2003). The topic of preferential transfer on day 2 or day 3 remains controversial. To further address this issue, we compared our experience of day 2 ET with day 3 ET in poor prognosis patients, defined as those patients in whom all embryos generated are transferred without selection.

The surrogate colonization of Palestine, 1917–1939

The “surrogate colonization” of Palestine had a foreign power giving to a non‐native group rights over land occupied by an indigenous people. It thus brought into play the complementary and conflicting agendas of three culturally distinguishable parties: British, Jews and Arabs. Each party had both “externalist” [those with no sustained practical experience of day to day life in Palestine] and “internalist” representatives. The surrogate idea was based on a “strategic consensus” involving each party's externalist camp: the British ruling elite, the leadership of the World Zionist Organization and the Hashemite Dynasty of Arabia. The collapse of this triangular consensus, which put an end to the policy but not the process of surrogate colonization, resulted from irreconcilable antagonisms within and between the major currents of each internalist camp. A focus on the land problem in Palestine highlights contradictions in each party's internalist agenda, which forestalled a rift between the Jewish and British sides of the consensus long enough for the Zionist settlement in Palestine (Yishuv) to acquire territory and to develop a largely self‐sufficient economic, cultural, political and military infrastructure.[Palestine, Zionism, British empire, fellaheen, land settlement]

Mortality of shift and day workers 1956-68.

<b>Taylor, P. J., and Pocock, S. J. (1972).</b><i>Brit. J. industr. Med.,</i><b>29,</b> 201-207. <b>Mortality of shift and day workers 1956-68.</b> Little research has been reported about the long-term effects of shift work. An investigation is described on 8 603 male manual workers from 10 organizations in England and Wales designed to assess the mortality experience of day, shift, and ex-shift workers. Three major types of shift system were involved. All had been employed by the same organization for not less than 10 years and the follow-up period was between 1956 and 1968. Only 22 men could not be completely traced and the cause of death was obtained for all but eight of the 1 578 deaths. Man-years at risk for each group were calculated in order to compare observed deaths with those expected from national mortality rates. The overall number of deaths was very close to that expected and no significant excess mortality was found in either the shift or ex-shift groups. Shift workers in some age groups had higher mortality than expected but this was not consistent between either organizations or types of shift work. A study of 14 main causes of death revealed some differences from national experience in both day and shift workers but these can be attributed to regional and occupational differences. To eliminate any occupational factor the mortality of skilled craftsmen and their mates was compared for day and shift work with no evidence of any shift work effect. The results lead to the conclusion that shift work would appear to have no adverse effect upon mortality.
