STUDY OF FACTORS AFFECTING THE SELECTION OF A LAND TRANSPORTATION MODE OF LONG DISTANCE TRAVEL DURING A PANDEMIC (PALANGKA RAYA–BANJARMASIN ROUTE)

The Palangka Raya route–Banjarmasin is a bustling route because it connects between provinces. On this route public transportation is bus and travel. These two modes of transportation offer costs, schedules and various supporting facilities. Added with the COVID-19 pandemi period of course the society has many considerations in choosing transportation moda that will be used. As for the purpose of this research is to know the characteristics of the demographics of users of transportation moda and factors that affect in the selection of remote travel land transportation moda during the Palangka Raya route pandemi–Banjarmasin in particular public transportation (bus and travel). In this research the data pending in the form of questionnaires that were then shared to 100 Yassoe bus respondents and travel Goddess Sumertha Sari. The questionnaires were processed using a program of SPSS 26 versions with linear reggression analysis. From analysis obtained Y=1,350+0.123X1+0.205X2+0,429X3+0.079X4. Based on the results of the reggression of four variables entirely pointing the entire variable together affects the selection of land transportation mods by the fourth contribution of the variable is 71,6% where the results of the F test are F count (59,884) > the value of F table (2,47), and the results of the four test t are count > t table (1,98525).

Physiological Significance of Myocardial Bridging by Fractional Flow Reserve—An Observational Study

Background Myocardial bridge (MB) is a portion of an epicardial coronary artery that takes an intramuscular course. The systolic compression of MB often gets carried over to early and mid-diastole, compromising coronary blood flow. In clinical practice, we encounter patients with angina, non-invasive evidence of ischemia, and a MB as the only relevant finding on angiography. In view of studies in support of decreased coronary flow reserve in MB, we assessed the physiological significance of MB by fractional flow reserve (FFR). Methods and Results We enrolled eight patients with chronic stable angina and positive noninvasive stress test, who had no significant CAD, and with evidence of MB in the left anterior descending artery. Mean age of population was 57.14 ± 6.25 years. Two (25%) were females and six (75%) were males. Four (50%) were smokers, five (62.5%) were diabetics, and two (25%) were hypertensives. Mean length of MB is 19.4 ± 5.04 mm. All underwent physiological assessment by FFR and the baseline, post nitroglycerin (NTG), and post adenosine readings were noted. Mean pre-NTG value, post-NTG, and post-adenosine were 0.974 ± 0.022, 0.96 ± 0.03, and 0.88 ± 0.042 (≤0.80 hemodynamically significant) respectively. Paired t-test showed significant reduction in FFR after NTG (p = 0.0452) and post-adenosine (p = 0.011) but all eight patients did not get significant FFR. Conclusion MB was found to be physiologically insignificant in our group of patients. But a statistical significant reduction of FFR in MB, post NTG and post adenosine, does impress on the fact that, an extensive study over a longer period of course, could throw light on this unsettled area of physiological significance and optimal therapeutic approach.

Zero-Achievers Non-Progressing Studies in Finnish Open University: Three Preventive Factors

Current education policy responds to changes and needs in working life by guiding individuals at different stages of working careers to develop their skills in the spirit of lifelong learning. More and more are applying with hope and enthusiasm to the Open University to strengthen their competence but are unable to get their studies completed. The article explores factors related to the non-progression of studies by students at the Open University in Finland. We call non-progressing students zero-achievers who enroll in studies but do not complete a single credit during the period of course. This research is a descriptive mixed methods study. The research data was collected by an online survey sent to 414 of one Open University zero-achiever students and 185 responses were received. The qualitative data was analysed through the means of content analysis and the quantitative data was examined through percentages and averages. The data was analysed comprehensively combining the quantitative and qualitative data by themes according to the three main factors for the non-progression of studies. The Open University student explained their non-progression in studies by three preventive factors: difficulties in reconciling areas of life, lack of generic skills, and passivity in seeking guidance. The purpose of this research is to raise zero-achievement as a phenomenon at a time marked by the ideal of high performance, the ideology of lifelong learning and the digitalization and massification of higher education. Alongside the ideal of efficiency, a wide range of students must be remembered in educational systems. The research contributes important new knowledge to education policy, to academic community and for university students to identify and avoid preventive factors for the progression of studies. Based on the research, the construction of shared understanding about above aspects is recommended to reach common goals.

Presence of management, entrepreneurship, leadership and marketing topics in the dental school curriculum in Brazil.

To analyse the presence and characteristics of curricular components related to management, entrepreneurship, leadership and marketing as part of the structure and teaching methods of undergraduate courses in dentistry in Brazil. This is an observational study that used the Ministry of Education's Undergraduate Course Accreditation Platform, which included 424 undergraduate courses in Dentistry on the last date of collection (August 31 2019). The following items were analysed as follows: the existence of curricular components in relation to the proposed themes, the most recurring denominations of curricular components, minimum and maximum workload, mandatory/optional classification, theoretical/practical teaching condition and in which year the curricular components were inserted. 367/424 (86.6%) of dentistry courses in Brazil included at least one of the topics: management, entrepreneurship, leadership and marketing curricular components in their curriculum, whilst 57/424 (13.4%) did not have these curricular components in their curricular structure. The most frequent names were "Management" 99 (45.21%) and "Entrepreneurship" 80 (36.5%). There was a predominance of the "theoretical method" and the number of hours varied considerably, with the most common course hours between 40 and 60h. The majority of curricular components were inserted in the third to fifth year and offered on a compulsory basis. Most curricular matrices of dentistry courses in Brazil had components related to the topics studied. However, due to the variety of curricular components' names, hours, periods of courses and different teaching methodologies, there is a need to redesign the teaching and learning process, defining educational and evaluation models with common curricular components.

Akibat Hukum terhadap Jual Beli Rumah Harta Bersama Pasca Perceraian

A marriage in Indonesia is a matter that is considered very, very sacred which in that period of course has various consequences. Along with this period, it is not uncommon for a social conflict to become a community disease when a quarrel occurs between the two, namely divorce which will eventually spread to other problems such as childcare issues, gono-gini assets and other assets that were obtained during the marriage. . The purpose of this research is to know the status of the sale and purchase of joint property houses after divorce and to know the legal consequences of buying and selling joint property after divorce against third parties. This study uses a normative method with a statutory approach, namely by reviewing laws, books and various opinions of scholars and experts. So that the results of this study reveal that the assets between the husband and wife have been regulated and stipulated in Article 119 of the Civil Code (KUH Perdata) which explains that starting from the validity of a marriage, it also applies the unanimity of assets as long as it is not There are other rules that state and regulate their assets which are tied to marriage, which were made before the marriage took place.

Clickers in EFL Classrooms: Evidence from Two Different Uses

Clickers as electronic response systems allow students to respond instantly to questions. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of using clickers on student participation during different periods of EFL courses. The intervention was implemented in question–response sessions of an EFL course at a secondary school. A quasi-experimental design was used in which twenty participants were assigned to two groups, Group A ( n = 10) and Group B ( n = 10). The implementation process is divided into three periods. In the preparation period, both of the groups did not use clickers, in the first period while the Group A used clickers, Group B continued without using clickers in the lessons. Then in the second period; in contrary, Group A and Group B students changed the roles in using the clickers; that is Group B started with clickers in the second period and Group A followed the lesson without clickers. When the clickers used the students’ participation rates were determined by clicker system records and an observation form is used when non-clickers strategies were used. As a result, even if they used clickers in different time periods both Groups A and B increased their participation rates while using clickers. Moreover, when the students in Group A were non-clickers, their correct answer rates were decreased. In contrast, when the students in Group B were non-clickers, their correct answer rates were increased. Results showed that even after students ceased to use clickers, positive effects on participation continued; however, the quality of the students’ answers declined. Along with the study findings, suggestions for clickers use in various periods of the courses are included.

Percepções empreendedoras em tempos de crise: olhares dos discentes do curso subsequente em edificações - IFS campus Lagarto/SE

O presente artigo tem como objetivo apresentar a autopercepção dos discentes do 4º período do curso de edificações, do IFS Campus Lagarto/SE, sobre características pessoais que possam fomentar atitudes empreendedoras, aproveitando conhecimento e práticas desenvolvidas no curso. A pesquisa surgiu da observação do quanto o “temor da crise” afeta a motivação dos discentes em relação às oportunidades para empreender. Trata-se de um estudo bibliográfico e de campo, do qual participaram turmas do 4º período do curso. Após a análise dos dados, percebeu-se que os discentes necessitam de maior fomento para desenvolver o hábito do planejamento em médio e longo prazos, que possibilite a autopercepção sobre oportunidades e desenvolvimento de carreiras, durante sua trajetória formativa - visando ao maior aproveitamento dos conteúdos -, e não apenas por ocasião do término do curso.

TO A QUESTION OF FEASIBILITY OF APPLICATION OF 100 HZ VIBRATION IN TREATMENT AND REHABILITATION OF THE PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE

The aim of this research is study of feasibility of application of instrumental 100 Hz vibration of the thorax for rehabilitation of COPD patients. Materials and methods . This aim is achieved by clinical observation of 43 COPD patients of 1st and 2nd severity, 77.4 % from which were patients with low risk of exacerbations. Research has been carried out during the stable period of disease. The following parameters have been analyzed: dynamics of the clinical state, spirometry data, clinical - biochemical indicators of blood reflecting presence of the inflammatory process activity, a number of indicators of immune system. Two groups of patients, which were equivalent in an initial state on age, disease severity, expressiveness of functional violations, have been isolated. The 1st group contained 20 persons was the main one. It received 100 Hz vibration impact on the thorax on the background of exercises with physical therapy and inhalations of physiological solution. The 2nd group contained 23 persons obtained in addition sea-buckthorn paste. Results. It has been revealed that the course of 100 Hz vibration impact on the thorax is accompanied, mainly, with positive subjective dynamics in the form of decrease of frequency and expressiveness of complaints. At that it has been noted improvement of bronchial passability due to improved drainage of bronchial tubes, but only at the patients with initial violations of ventilation. Only additional reception of sea-buckthorn paste on the background of vibrotherapy contributes to decrease of subclinical inflammation activity and strengthening of immunological protection. Essential positive results of treatment have been reached only for a half of the surveyed patients that allows to speak about non-expediency or low expediency of use of 100 Hz vibration for CODT patients even 1st and 2nd severity in the stable period of course of the disease.

Nível de Atividade Física e Satisfação Corporal em Estudantes de Educação Física

The aim of this study was to analyze the body satis faction and the level of physical activity in physical education students, of both sexes and o f different periods of the course. The sample was composed of 197 students from first to eighth perio d of Physical Education College from Federal University of Juiz de Fora (UFJF). To assess the le vel of physical activity and body satisfaction, the short version of the International Physical Activity Ques tionnaire (IPAQ) and the Body Areas Scale (EAC) were applied, respectively. A descriptive analysis of th e data was performed followed by the normality test . Subsequently, we sought to associate the level of p hysical activity to gender and to periods of course , beyond the level of body satisfaction at age studen ts. The age group ranged from 17 to 32 years old. T here was variation in the level of body satisfaction bet ween periods and between categories of the IPAQ. The results showed that the level of physical activity was not associated with body satisfaction of the st udents and that comparisons between physical activity leve l and body satisfaction in different periods of the course were not significant. However, we observed a significant association between physical activity level and gender, and between age and body satisfac tion. Moreover men were significantly more satisfie d than women. We conclude that body satisfaction was not related to different periods of Physical Educat ion course. However, older individuals and men were considered more satisfied with their bodies than young er people and women.

The level of stress and coping mechanism adopted by I Year B.Sc. nursing students

Background: Stress is a fact of life that every human deals with on a daily basis. In the transitional nature of student life in professional courses like nursing, initial period of course is stressful and it adversely affects the emotional, physical, social, and academic functions. Even though the perception and response to stress and way of coping differs individually, it may produce questionable behavioral patterns in student nurses during the course of their study like feeling of loneliness, nervousness, sleeplessness, and worrying. Thus, the student nurse faces a lot of challenges and problems at the time of I Year. Objectives: The present study aimed to determine the level of stress and coping mechanisms adopted by I Year B.Sc. nursing students. Materials and Methods: A total of 60 I Year B.Sc. nursing students were selected by using non-probability convenient sampling technique. The tools used for data collection were perceived stress scale, structured coping scale, and socio- demographic proforma. Results: The studies revealed that majority of students (95.1%) were in the age group of 17-19 years. The results showed that only one student (1.7%) has severe stress, 46.7% has moderate stress, and remaining 51.6% has mild stress, and majority of the students (100) had average coping. There was no significant correlation (-1.167) between stress and coping mechanism of I Year B.Sc. nursing students. Conclusion: Majority of students had mild stress and average coping. The nurse administrator should plan and organize educational program for nursing students, in order to prepare them to cope up with any stressful situations. Hence, the researcher emphasizes the need for more research to improve the knowledge and by applying the research finding for future.

Teaching of medical ethics: students' perception in different periods of the course.

Medical ethics is structured to guide doctors towards a better professional practice. However, its teaching in medical schools seems to be neglected. To evaluate the perception of Federal University of Sergipe medical students about ethical conflicts during their academic practice, in two different periods of a medical course. A cross-sectional, analytic and observational study. Using a qualitative approach, analytic categories were identified using an open questionnaire answered by two groups of students, before and after attending the medical ethics course. In everyday practice, the participants referred embarrassment in front of patients. When considering the relationship with the professional/professor, they identified negligence and conflicts of interests in their practice. The students also detected bad infrastructure and professional relationship in public services, when compared to private ones. The conflicts experienced by the students in their own practice were insecurity, inability to cope with patients' problems and inadequate perception of medical confidentiality limits. According to the respondents, contribution of ethics teaching varied from adequate, when it was effective to orient their practice and provide confidence, to inadequate or absent because of an overall superficial approach. Major deficiencies related to the teaching of medical ethics were identified, pointing to the need to change current medical education model.

The point of view of nursing’ students about the male and female condoms

Phase separation and regrowth of aerosol matter collected after size fractionation in an impactor

Aerosol matter in the size range <2 μm was collected in a Berner impactor and subsequently analysed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectrometry. Owing to the low electron beam energy of 5 keV (occasionally 10 keV), analysis was restricted to elements with atomic numbers ⩽20 (Ca). Sub-micrometer aerosol matter was found to contain mostly S, O, and C as well as some K and Ca. Nitrogen appeared to escape detection, probably due to bombardment-induced sublimation of NO 3 and NH 4. During sampling at low to moderate relative humidity (<60%) the sulphur-rich fraction of the aerosol matter (most likely sulphates) regrew in the form of microcrystals with sizes up to 10 times larger than the mean aerodynamic diameter of the respective impactor stage. By contrast, when sampling during periods in course of which the relative humidity exceeded 70%, the aerosol matter regrew in the form of extended amorphous agglomerates. The aerosol deposits also contained large numbers of carbon nanoparticles, well separated from the regrown sulphate-rich matter. The nanoparticles were similar in size (∼20–40 nm), much smaller than the equivalent aerodynamic diameter of the impacting particles (63 nm–2 μm). Presumably, the carbon nanoparticles constituted the core of larger air-borne particles covered with sulphates (as well as with nitrates and organic carbon). The regrown microcrystals disappeared rapidly under electron bombardment at high current density, an observation that indicates high volatility at elevated temperatures. Aerosol matter collected in the size range between 1 and 2 μm contained large fractions of particles made of O, Si, P, K, and Ca (oxides). These particles were highly resistant to electron bombardment (hard) and showed little or no evidence for agglomeration or regrowth. After removing the soluble (acidic) material from the collected aerosol matter, only carbon nanoparticles and hard coarse particles were left behind. The observation of agglomerated or crystallized “soft” aerosol matter in combination with phase separation of carbon nanoparticles lends further support to the assertion that it is not possible to collect useful quantities of fine and ultrafine aerosol particles with as-suspended morphology. Some implications for health-related research are discussed.

Sandwich placements: improving the learning experience ‐ part 2

Seeks to assess the effectiveness of introducing action learning into sandwich placements. Builds on the rationale for, and organization of, the initiative established in Part 1 and discusses feedback from the main parties involved. Provides evidence that suggests that action learning could offer a solution to the problem of insufficient integration between the sandwich and the academic periods of courses and the danger that sandwich placements can become an excessively specialized experience. Concludes that the evidence is sufficiently encouraging to recommend further development of the scheme.
