Data on the Sense of Coherence Among Nurses

The purpose of this study is to determine the sense of coherence among nurses and its effect on nurses’ relationship with patients. And how therapeutic relationship affected by the coping mechanism of the nurses. The data were collected by using the questionnaires adapted from the previous studies. The study is cross sectional and quantitative using a deductive approach. Population of the study was the nurses and convenient sampling method used for collecting data. Sample size was 191 nurses. Finally, 119 valid questionnaires were used for data analysis. The result of my study is positive that is nurses with stronger sense of coherence can successfully develop a nurse patient interaction which benefits the both the nurses and the patients. Because stress and anxiety directly affect the nurses performance those who can manage the work related stressors more productively can do better as compare to those who fails to cope with depression. From the results of the study, it is concluded that the stronger sense of coherence resulted in the better coping mechanism in response to any stress or fears related to work and eventually they maintained good nurse patient therapeutic relationship.

DACH-PRINCIPLE IN THEORY AND IN PRACTICE AND THE PLACE OF THE AUSTRIAN VARIETY OF THE GERMAN LANGUAGE IN BULGARIAN SCHOOLBOOKS

This paper focuses on the pluricentricity of the German language and the pluricentric approach in the German course books used in Bulgaria. In the first part, basic terms like pluricentricity and DACH principle are defined. The DACH principle views the cultural diversity as normal and uses the diversity of the German language in the different countries as an opportunity for multidimensionality in teaching German as a foreign language. The second part is dedicated to the most important lexical, phonetic, morphological and syntactic specifics of the Austrian variety of the German language which, in my opinion, should be presented in the course books used in Bulgarian secondary schools. The third part contains the results of my study whose aim is to examine the pluricentric approach focusing on the presence of the Austrian German language in selected schoolbooks, approved by the Bulgarian Ministry of Education and Science. The results show that the pluricentric approach is barely implemented on a cultural level and the specifics of Austrian German language are totally neglected. Austria is mainly portrayed as one single tourist attraction – in this context, almost every information is limited to the capital Vienna. As opposed to Germany, the limited representation of Austria and its variety of the German language, culture and society is only a superficial “glimpse” in the Bulgarian schoolbooks, which has a significant impact on the students’ general perception of the German speaking countries.

Accounting for Equity Financial Instruments Under IFRS 9: Determinants and Usefulness

This oral presentation aims to discuss the results of my study regarding the determinants and usefulness of accounting for equity financial instruments after the effect of the new accounting standard: International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 9 Financial Instruments. The prohibition of recycling fair value gains or losses (FVGL) on equity instruments from other comprehensive income (OCI) to profit or loss when derecognition and the default fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) presentation with alternative fair value through OCI (FVTOCI) option are some major changes for equity financial instruments accounting in IFRS 9. Motivated by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)’s continuing monitoring implementation evidence on equity instruments classification and measurement, I examine firms’ accounting choices in presenting FVGL on EFA either at FVTOCI or at FVTPL under the framework of Positive Accounting Theory (PAT) and whether the presentation location matters to investors in ASX 500 firms. I find that firms’ EFA holdings are not changed after IFRS 9 in terms of whether to hold an EFA or EFA holding amount. FVGL on EFA presentation location choice is not used opportunistically in firms to smooth earnings or increase profitability. However, information asymmetry for FVTOCI presentation choice increased after IFRS 9 adoption in non-financial firms. EFA amount in financial firms provides incremental value relevance to the market regardless of IFRS 9 adoption, and the EFA presentation location matters to investors. The results of this study provide evidence to standard setters to understand the determinants and usefulness of EFA under IFRS 9, which has implications for further revisions. I contribute to the debate around whether to recycle FVGL from OCI or not. Moreover, I extend accounting choice and value relevance literature in financial instruments accounting that is of value to a broad constituency, such as managers, investors, and various financial statement users.

Knowledge, attitude, practice about awareness of basic life support facilities for medical emergencies among dental practitioners: a cross sectional questionnaire study

Background: Healthcare professionals should be trained in basic life support (BLS), as it is a basic skill which can save lives if implemented timely. An ability to react immediately to the emergency at hand and having the proper equipment and drugs needed for the emergency, can mean the difference between successful management and failure. Objective of this study is to assess the knowledge, awareness and attitude of dental practitioners towards BLS facilities. Methods: This is a cross sectional study conducted from January to March 2021 among 250 dental interns, BDS and MDS doctors by assessing responses to 10 selected questions pertaining to BLS among dental practitioners in Mumbai/Navi Mumbai. Inclusion criteria: BDS, MDS doctors. Results: The results of my study showed that almost (77.5%) enquire about medical history. Only (32.2%) felt competent in responding to emergency situation at clinics. (46.6%) were confident about administrating IV, I.M injections and performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). They were also assessed for the emergency drugs and emergency kits, which were available with (49.5%). Conclusions: The survey shows that there is substantial lack of BLS knowledge among dental practitioners. Prompt recognition & efficient management of medical emergencies can increase the likelihood of a satisfactory income. This is feasible by incorporating BLS in academic curriculum on regular basis and through hands on workshops.

Analyzing the Prevalence of Fat-Soluble Vitamins in the Diets of Georgian Elderly Care Facilities

Vitamin overdose is often not researched in comparison to its counterpart risk, malnutrition. As the general topic of vitamin overdose is already under-researched, I specifically looked at fat-soluble vitamins (Vitamins A, D, E, and K) in elderly care facilities in Georgia to determine if any posed the unrecognized risk of vitamin over supplementation. The examination of these risks are paramount since many elderly residents are dependent on the facility to provide food as well as their supplements. Thus, this would mean that even a facility-provided diet high in vitamins may assume a vitamin risk since supplementation on top of this diet is unnecessary and may lead to over supplementation. Other commonly researched risks are also explored by analyzing prevalence. Through a sequential mixed methods approach, I analyzed qualitative interviews on medical and dietary staff from 8 respective care facilities to determine dietary vitamin intake and content analyses on their meal plans for supplemental intake. The results of my study found that there were no conclusive vitamin deficiency risks, most vitamins were in the adequate range, and Vitamin A and potentially Vitamin D were at the highest risk for over supplementation. These factors may be due to the common emphasis of vitamins in diet (as opposed to supplements) and the frequent shift in supplement responsibility to medical professionals. Thus, future research should look at the extent of this issue in Georgia and potential prevention measures.

Common Mental Health Problems for Students

The components of mental health include intellectual, personal and sociological well-being. It has an impact on our frame of mind, emotions, and working. Mental health can have an effect on daily life, communal connections, and physical wellness. Mental health is salient at every phase of life, from infancy, youth to adulthood. We’ll discuss the problems with mental health that college students encounter in this study. The results of my study indicate that public policy issues need to be addressed in order to enhance college students' mental health. Mental ailment that is untreated my research's conclusions suggest that public policy should be addressed in order to improve the mental health of college students. Untreated mental health issues have a negative effect on the local economy, safety, employment, poverty, and homelessness. Untreated illnesses among students result in academic failure, delinquency, and involvement in criminal activity. Therefore, failing to address mental health has negative effects on society as a whole. Despite all of this, there has been a woefully insufficient reaction to this problem in terms of money and political will. Only a small part of the money spent on other illnesses on mental health is allocated by the government and through development aid.

ROLE OF LEADERSHIP AND DEVELOPMENT TOWARDS TEAM BUILDING

The cooperative association among teamwork and leadership cannot be overemphasized. In an increasingly knowledge-intensive world, the most effective leaders can face failure if the teams they lead fall short of their goals and get distract. In fact, without effective and intelligent leadership, a team can be a mess. There has been much debate about the leadership style and characteristics that make him perform as optimal team. Similarly, the components of highly effective teams have been studied and copied. Of course, leadership and teamwork cannot exist without each other. Achieving optimal organizational performance for successful results must be balanced, coordinated and teamed. Therefore, this paper reviews the best practices that enable the optimal balance of leadership and teamwork for success in a competitive environment. This article reviews the best practices that enable the optimal balance of leadership and teamwork for success in a competitive environment. The research methodology of my study was quantitative in nature. I have selected the head teachers of private schools for the collection of data of my study. 50 head teachers of private school near model town were selected by convenient sampling to collect my data. The results of my study were that there is a great role of Head Teachers as a leader to build a team in schools for a good working of the organization or workplace. Keywords: Leadership development, team building, organizational, cooperative relationship, leadership and teamwork

Diagnostic Accuracy of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in Differentiating Malignant and Benign Brain Lesions

The aim of this study is to determine the diagnostic ability of magnetic resonance spectroscopy in separating malignant and benign cerebral masses, when histopathology taken as gold standard. The results of my study will not only resolve this controversy but also If MRS diagnostic accuracy will be found high in distinguishing ring enhancing lesions of brain, then this non-invasive modality can be applied routinely in our general practice for proper treatment selection the lesions in order to reduce the morbidity and mortality of these particular patients. Materials & Methods: We included around 141 cases presenting to us at the Radiology department of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Lahore, fulfilling the inclusion criteria was selected after we got approval for the study from IRB committee of university. Informed consent was taken from each patient. We performed magnetic resonance spectroscop in each case using 1.5 Tesla MR system having graded power of 33 mT/m and results of MRS were read and reported by one radiology consultant. Malignant or benign lesions were noted on MRS. After this, each patient was undergone biopsy in the concerned ward by the consultant neurosurgeon and tissue was sent to institutional pathology laboratory for histopathology. Histopathology results were interpreted by the consultant histopathologist (at least 3 years of post-fellowship experience) and benign or malignant lesion was noted Results: All the included cases underwent standard magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) of brain. MRS strengthened the suspicion of malignant brain lesions in 94 (66.67%) cases. Histopathology findings confirmed malignant brain lesions in 90 (63.83%) cases. Conclusion: This study concluded that MRS is the non-obstrusive method of imaging with greater diagnostic accuracy in differentiating malignant and benign brain lesions, and that it has not only made drastically better our capability to identify malignant brain lesions preoperatively, and moreover assists neurosurgeons in taking much better decisions. As a result, we urge that MRS be performed habitually in all suspected instances of intracranial mass lesion for reliable pre-operative identification of malignant brain lesions and selection of appropriate surgical technique.

Justine Moritz, a subaltern in Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus

Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley represents series of critical issues like disability, gender, inequality, masculinity, and among those issues and concerns, the representation of the “subaltern,” especially of the “female gendered subaltern,” is particularly significant because it plays a decisive role in examining the social context of the novel. In contemporary literary criticism, postcolonial theory is one of the most gripping schools of thought. The subaltern, as a theoretical concept in literary criticism, stays under the umbrella of Postcolonial theory. “Subaltern,” a term was first familiarized by Antonio Gramsci, an Italian Marxist and political activist, refers to people represented as being of inferior status or rank; subordinate of rank, power, authority and action. This essay, the result of my study on the novel and the subaltern, argues that Justine Moritz is a subaltern and her representation in the novel, voice and silence, alienation, resistance and death are integral components of her subalternity. It considers the illustration of Justine Moritz as a character, the treatment she gets as a member of the community and as an individual, her social mobility, her being trapped in an oppressive system, her being abused by the creature, her psycho-alienation and her struggle and resistance to establish her own agency as a subaltern. It will review the concept of “subaltern” given by such critics and thinkers as Antonio Gramsci, Ranajit Guha, and Gayatri Chakraborty Spivak. Then, it will interpret close reading with a special focus on the character of Justine Moritz to find out her positionality and relevance to “subalternity,” with reference to the establishment of her individual subaltern agency through her death. However, analysis in this essay will examine how hegemony and supremacy of the dominant class plays constructive role, and will also include examples of subaltern resistance against the hegemonic power structure though this act of resistance leads to death and destruction. The methodology of this essay is analytical and

Widening The Lens: Antecedents to Perspective Taking Among Corporate Entrepreneurs

Taking the perspective of others is a crucial ability to identify the best entrepreneurial opportunities. In corporate entrepreneurship, constant effort goes into training and motivating employees to participate in entrepreneurial activities. What makes employees in corporate entrepreneurship better at perspective taking? How can employees widen their lens to better see others’ viewpoints? Here I complement the cognitive work on perspective taking by focusing on possible antecedents to perspective taking in corporate entrepreneurship. I specifically focus on employee cognitive adaptability and beneficiary contact to provide the knowledge and motivation, respectively, that has been suggested as crucial to initiating entrepreneurial action. Additionally, I suggest that perspective taking is hindered when employees experience job burnout. I also investigate whether perspective taking among corporate entrepreneurs enhances their opportunity identification. I collect primary data in two separate samples, employing survey techniques with a randomized intervention to investigate these questions. The results of my study start important conversations about the central role that perspective taking can play in corporate entrepreneurship.

Frequency of Elevated Levels of Serum CRP in Patients with Preterm Labor in a Tertiary Care Hospital, Karachi

Background: Preterm birth is a significant public health problem, occurring in over 10 percent of births world wise, and contributing largely to neonatal mortality and various morbidities in childhood and later in life. Increase level of C-reactive protein (CRP) is associated with increased risk of preterm delivery. This study is designed to determine the elevated level of CRP in patients with preterm labor to establish a local data. Results of my study can be grate help for other care health provider to provide effective antenatal care. Objective: To determine frequency of elevated levels of serum CRP (by blood serum test) in patients with preterm labor in a tertiary care hospital, Karachi. Setting: This Cross Sectional Study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and gynecology, Civil hospital Karachi for the duration of six months from January, 2018 to July, 2018. Subject and Methods: A total of 88 pregnant women with pre term delivery were included in this study. Preterm labor was confirmed by uterine contraction (3 contraction in 10 minutes each lasting for 30 second) and cervical dilatation of preterm labor. Blood sample was taken for CRP level whole of this information was documented on predesigned proforma. Results: The average age of the women was 28.26±4.02 years. Frequency of elevated level of serum CRP in patients with preterm labor was 89.77% (79/88). Conclusion: In present study frequency of elevated level of serum CRP in patients with preterm labor was 89.77%. Measurement of the C-reactive protein during pregnancy can be used as a predictive screening biomarker for detection of subclinical infections that cause preterm uterine contraction and hence early intervention and intensive antenatal care to reduce the perinatal morbidity and mortality. Keywords: Preterm labor, Elevated levels of serum CRP, Cervical Dilatation.

Patient Satisfaction in a Tertiary Care Government Hospital

OBJECTIVES: To determine patient satisfaction in terms of various services such as ease of getting care, in-patient admission, waiting for check-up, staff interaction, medical care, cost of care, and cleanliness in a Tertiary Care Government Hospital. METHODOLOGY: The study design was cross sectional observational. A total of 200 patients meeting our inclusion criteria were enrolled through convenient sampling techniques in this research study. A well-designed questionnaire was used for data collection of admitted patients. RESULTS: Out of 200 patients, 96 (48%) male and 104 (47%) female patients were interviewed. 72% were satisfied with clinical care services, 14% had mixed views while 14% patients were not satisfied at all. CONCLUSION: Patients in general showed their satisfaction in some of the aspects, however, keeping in view the burden a public sector hospital absorbs on a daily basis, and it was imperative to receive unsatisfactory feedback from patients in most of the aspects. Thus, the results of my study recommend to the health care leaders to take practical steps to bring further improvement by developing a proper mechanism for the uplift of public sector hospitals.

Does Eliminating Extraordinary Items Impact the Usefulness of Accounting Information?

On January 9, 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) approved Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-01, which eliminates the required reporting of extraordinary items in an entity’s income statement. My analyses provide evidence regarding whether the usefulness of information in the financial statements is improved or reduced if no extraordinary items are to be reported. The results of my study suggest that while the change in reporting of extraordinary items does not completely eliminate its usefulness in explaining P/E ratios, the failure of firms to not report extraordinary items does significantly reduce the ability to explain cross-sectional differences in P/E ratios.

Energy supply only with renewables? Why does Hungary need to extend its nuclear power capacity?

This presentation showed the results of my study which was connected to a survey in ELTE University in Budapest 8 years ago. The results of my research prompted me to prepare a compilation for high school students. In this work I tried to acquaint them from one side the energetics in general and from the other side the areas of use of the different energy sources, highlighting the natural conditions and the resulting opportunities for the energy production of Hungary. My aim was that the students could get a professionally authentic and understandable information in these topics. According to this I hope they could realize the importance of the energy supply in their future.

Outing class in the process of internationalisation

ABSTRACT This article focuses on the ways in which international students from Chile narrate their experiences in the US, and the extent to which mobility across national borders reshapes social class understandings and privilege. To complete this study, I conducted 13 in-depth interviews and a focus group with five Chilean graduate international students who enrolled in an elite research university in the Northeastern region of the United States. The data raised questions about how social class is negotiated in both education and space, challenging how we understand the relationship between social class and education in a global context. I argue that through a process of international mobility, upper-class students from Chile lose class privilege, which in turn influences them to denaturalise their class constructions. Based on discussion of social class within the sociology of education and insights from whiteness studies, the results of my study enable a dialogue about how mobility affects individuals within an international context. I conclude that while international mobility demands students to rethink their class constructions, the affective disruption of silence and guilt emerge as two strategies to justify and perpetuate social class privilege.

Study of the effect of sunlight on the chemical composition of Milk

Light-induced degradation reactions make a serious problem for the milk because of the development of flavors and a decrease in nutritional quality, materials of Packaging are important to avoid this particular degradation of milk. In this study, were divided milk into two groups (light exposed ) + (light protected (foil overwrap)) under the same cooling conditions at 3°C for 15 days, those expectant during the show in stores of retail and markets. And the effect of this on the chemical composition of milk, the results of my study then showed that the appropriate blocking light with an overwrap of foil helped inhibit lipid and protein Lipolysis compared with the samples exposed to light under the same cooling conditions. Therefore, the appropriate Blocking of visible light with foil overwrap can increase milk's shelf life.

Agramatyzm w afazji

Aphasic disorders in producing the grammatical from of word are interpreted from two perspectives: 1) as neutralization (abolishing) of inflection and 2) deficit of elements that perform grammatical functions in a sentence, and the wrong use of inflectional morphemes. The adoption of the assumption about neutralization of inflectional morphemes compels us to emphasize in the grammatical description of utterances of aphasic patients the manifestations of reduction of functional oppositions between different grammatical categories, the neutralization of grammatical markingof inflected words, and the tendency to produce basic forms of words. The adoption of the hypothesis about the destabilized grammatical system makes it necessary to present in the description all manifestations of grammatical marking of words in the utterances of aphasic patients, which allows us to say that patients are able to produce all inflectional morphemes existing in Polish but they use them in the wrong contexts, interchangeably with correct forms. The results of my studies have shown that the context of occurrence of agrammatisms can be varied. Agrammatisms occur moreoften in the environment that explicitly implies the grammatical functions of the incorrectly used construction; they are found less often in obligatory contexts when the language environment does not indicate the grammatical function of the words used. This observation suggests the conclusionthat aphasic patients are able to produce a communicative text, with the reduction of the grammatical marking of utterances. In light of the foregoing findings aphasic agrammatisms are of selective nature depending on the degree of relevance of grammatical exponents of the function and meaningof text words.

Comparison of Frequency of Recurrence after Burr Hole Evacuation of Chronic Subdural Hematoma with or without Subdural Drain.

Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is known to have a significant recurrence rate. The rate of recurrence of chronic subdural hematoma after surgery ranges from roughly 5% to 30%. Burr hole evacuation without drainage is performed as a first line of treatment for CSDH. As there is controversy in literature regarding the use of drainage after burr hole evacuation, the results of my study may be helpful for selecting a proper treatment modality as a first line of treatment for CSDH in terms of recurrence.
 The objective of this study was to compare the frequency of recurrence after burr hole evacuation of CSDH with and without subdural drain. It was a randomized controlled trial conducted in Department of Neurosurgery, Allied hospital, Faisalabad form Aug 2016 to Aug 2018
 RESULTS:In our study, out of 130 cases(65 in each group). 84.62%(n=55) in Group-A and 76.92%(n=50) in Group-B were between above 40 years of age whereas 15.38%(n=10) in Group-A and 23.08%(n=15) were between 18-40 years of age, mean+sd was calculated as 64.03+7.61 years in Group-A and 62.28+7.83 years in Group-B, 78.46%(n=51) in Group-A and 72.31%(n=47) in Group-B were male while 21.54%(n=14) in Group-A and 27.69%(n=18) in Group-B were females, comparison of frequency of recurrence after burr hole evacuation of CSDH with and without subdural drain shows 10.77%(n=7) in Group-A and 27.69%(n=18) in Group-B, p value was 0.01 showing a significant difference.
 CONCLUSION: We concluded that the frequency of recurrence after burrhole evacuation of CSDH is significantly lower with drain when compared without subdural drain.

Irredentism of Hungary, Poland and Romania in Western Ukraine in the Context of Language Policy of Kyiv

In the severe political and economic conditions that have developed in Ukraine, fears of the policies of irredentism of neighbouring states are becoming increasingly realistic. The problem of the separation of territories and in some cases of their transfer to neighbouring states arose in Ukraine in 2014 after the Russian rejoin of the Crimea and the beginning of the crisis in the eastern part of the country. Today, special attention attracts the situation in the Donbas region, and almost no one addresses the potential problem of the same kind happening in western regions. This article attempts to identify the main goals of Ukraine’s western neighbours (Hungary, Romania, and Poland) concerning Ukraine and the humanitarian instruments of influence they use to achieve these goals. The methodology of the study has determined the structure of the article, which includes a comparative analysis of the goals and methods of the cultural and linguistic influence these states have on the population of the neighbouring territory (i.e. national minorities). Cultural and linguistic influence in this context means the cultivation of national minority languages within a limited area of their residence through education, mass media, and the organisation of programs to promote the development of cultural relations. Based on the above methodology and statistical and analytical material, the author concludes that Hungary, Romania and Poland, using similar tools to influence their national minorities, pursue different goals. Both the methods of influence and the tasks of these states I discussed in detail. Besides, one of the main conclusions drawn from the results of my study is that Hungarian, Polish and Romanian irredentism is indeed a severe risk today and deserves special attention from Ukraine.

‘To imagine a language means to imagine a form of life?’

Despite several decades of linguistic research and activism, neutral/inclusive language use is far from the norm in English and German. In this article I explore whether the encounter with neutral terminology in June Arnold’s novel The Cook and the Carpenter can prompt readers to question dominant practices and consider alternatives. Based on narrative research, my premise is that fiction can create familiarity with new terms and thereby support linguistic change. I frame my investigation with Wittgenstein’s notion that ‘to imagine a language means to imagine a form of life’, and put it to the test with a discourse analysis of English and German reader responses. The results of my study show that Arnold’s novel stimulates fruitful debate of the issue of gender and language. Based on my findings, I propose the text’s integration into linguistics education in order to further promote neutral/inclusive language use.
