This is an experimental study conducted for raising awareness about being a patient with stoma in nurses working in surgical services where intestinal stoma is opened in Balcalı Hospital, Çukurova University.The stoma bag was inserted after applying “Introduction and Evaluation Form” which involved 11 questions was developed by the researcher via face-to-face interview technique with the nurses participating in the study and administering “Pre-Application Data Form” consisting after studying with stoma bag, whose 1/3 was filled with water, for 6 hours; “Post-Application Data Form” was administered.In nurses’ evaluation of first three feelings that the patients were experiencing before and after the life experience of using stoma bag for a short time; the difference between the exclusion feeling scores was found to be highly significant (z=-3.411; p=0.001). In the evaluation of the nurses for the question “will you share the information that you have stoma with your friend if you were a person with a stoma” before and after the stoma bag life experiment, the difference was determined to be statistically significant (z=-2.000; p=0.001). The difference between the evaluation scores for the patients to cope with their stomas before and after the application was observed to be highly significant (z=-4.724; p=0.000).Extended English abstract is in the end of PDF (TURKISH) file.  ÖzetAraştırma, Çukurova Üniversitesi Balcalı Hastanesi’nde bağırsak stoması açılan cerrahi servislerde çalışan hemşirelerde stomalı hastalarla ilgili farkındalık yaratmak amacıyla yarıdeneysel tipte yapılmıştır.Veriler araştırmacılar tarafından literatür taraması yapılarak hazırlanmış kişisel bilgi formu ve öntest/sontest veri formları ile yüz yüze görüşme tekniği ile toplanmış, sonrasında katılımcı hemşirelere stoma torbası takılmıştır. 1/3’üne kadar su ile doldurulan stoma torbası ile 6 saat çalıştıktan sonra tekrar anket formu uygulanmıştır.Hemşirelerin stoma torbası deneyimi öncesi ve sonrası hastaların en sık yaşadığı ilk üç duyguyu değerlendirmeleri incelendiğinde, dışlanma duygusu puan ortalamalarını diğer ortalamalara göre yüksek olduğu ve aradaki farkın istatistiksel olarak ileri derece anlamlı olduğu saptandı (z=-3.411; p=0.001). Hemşirelerin stoma torbası deneyimi öncesi ve sonrası “stomalı bir birey olsaydınız stomanız olduğunu iş arkadaşlarınız ile paylaşır mıydınız?” sorusunu değerlendirmelerinde farkın istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu belirlendi (z=-2.000; p=0.001).Uygulama öncesi ve sonrası hastaların stomaları ile baş etmelerini değerlendirme puanortalamaları  arasındaki farkın ileri derecece anlamlı olduğu görüldü (z=-4.724; p=0.000).

Intentions To Change

We investigated sex differences in response to evaluative feedback among bank employees who were going through the annual performance evaluation process. Questionnaires were mailed to employees before and after they had their face-to-face evaluation with their supervisor. Women and men received similar evaluation scores. Men's self-esteem was relatively unaffected by the nature of the feedback, whereas women's self-esteem slightly improved after positive feedback and substantially dropped after negative feedback. After the evaluations, women reported greater intentions to change their behavior based on the evaluation. However, this finding was accounted for by men's higher job status relative to women. The findings for self-esteem were partly explained by women's greater agreement with the feedback compared to men. Future research should explore how the nature of the supervisee-supervisor relationship influences how women and men respond to feedback.

Background: It is well known that meditation improves the physical and psychological condition of its practitioners. This study investigated the heart rate variability response of meditation practitioners in two Chan master teaching environments, namely face-to-face and video classes. Methods: Experimental sessions were conducted, one featuring face-to-face classes and the other featuring video classes. The difference in participants’ physiological parameters (blood pressure and heart rate variability) between the two experimental sessions was determined. In the first session, physiological parameters were recorded twice, before and after one teaching course, and the second session took place one month after the first. The first and second sessions had 45 and 27 participants, respectively. Those involved in the first experiment had no experience with meditation, whereas participants in the second experiment had practiced meditation for an average of 9 years (range = 1 to 27 years). Both experiments were conducted once a week, with each session lasting 1.5 h. Results: For both experiments, both heart rate and heart rate variability by age significantly decreased after one teaching course. Conclusions: Chan meditation practitioners benefit from receiving both face-to-face and video class teaching from a Chan master.

Respiratory Rehabilitation

We examined the effect of distance learning on nurses’ clinical skills in a rural Japanese hospital. The subject matter was respiratory rehabilitation. After one face-to-face session, two 30min sessions were delivered by videoconferencing to staff nurses working in a 100–bed rural hospital 250 miles (400 km) from Sapporo Medical University. A self-rating questionnaire was distributed before and after the sessions. Responses were collected from 15 out of 32 nurses participating in the face-to-face session (47%). Before the first videoconferencing session, ‘always use’ and ‘sometime use’ the new skills were rated by 67% of nurses, but after the second videoconferencing session ‘always use’ and ‘sometimes use’ were rated by 73% and ‘never use’ at 0%. This implies that there was increased use of new skills after the second session, although the difference was not significant. The nurses’ opinions about the effectiveness for patients increased from 8% to 27% after the second session, which was significant. The pilot project indicated the usefulness of distance learning for upgrading nurses’ clinical practice in one rural Japanese hospital and suggested ways in which videoconferencing can be used in future.

BACKGROUND Anxiety is common among youths in primary care. Face-to-face treatment has been the first choice for clinicians, but during the Covid-19 pandemic digital psychological interventions have rapidly increased. Few studies have examined young people’s interest in Internet treatment or the attitudes they and their parents have towards it. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate adolescents’ and parents’ attitudes towards and experiences of Internet-based anxiety treatment in primary care. METHODS The study used mixed methods, analysing qualitative data thematically and quantitative data with non-parametric analysis. Participants were 14 adolescents and 14 parents recruited in adolescent primary healthcare clinics. The adolescents and their parents filled out mental health questionnaires before and after treatment and were interviewed during ongoing treatment. RESULTS The quantitative data indicate (1) that the acceptance-based internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy programme used in this study was successful in reducing symptoms and (2) that adolescents’ motivation is essential to the treatment outcome. The qualitative results show that youths highly value their independence and freedom to organize treatment work on their own terms. The parents expressed uncertainty about their role and how to support their child in treatment. It was important for parents to respect the youths’ need for autonomy, while also engaging with them in the treatment work. CONCLUSIONS Internet treatment is accepted by both youths and their parents, who need clarification about the difference between their role and the therapist’s. Patient motivation should be considered before treatment and therapists need to continue to develop the virtual alliance. Finally, primary care should be clearer in informing adolescents and their parents about the possibility of Internet treatment.

Administrative Tasks

With so many tasks that must be completed cultivated fields by teachers Guidance and Counseling which consists of four fields, eleven types of services, and six support units. The teacher then Guidance and Counseling feel overwhelmed and unable to complete the task becomes all areas mandate, particularly in data collection and usage instrumentation applications. Unfinished inability to complete all the administrative tasks of the Guidance and Counseling  teacher, now coupled with new task field known as Direction Specialisation, which according to teachers Guidance and Counseling " jobs that seem more time-consuming, and difficult to resolve in a short time ". So that guidance and counseling teacher performance was not optimal. In this research method is discussed about the development, stages, testing, and analysis products. To obtain the necessary data , the researchers chose 20 people teachers Guidance and Counseling are incorporated in MGBK (Musyawarah Guru Bimbingan dan Konseling ; Deliberation Teacher Guidance and counseling) Pamekasan as test subjects with treatment instrumentation applications utilizing the data direction of specialization. With this treatment were then given a questionnaire to determine the performance associated with speed and ease before and after using the instrumentation application of data toward specialization From the results of this development was obtained performance without using a program based on the pace of work = 38 : 80 = 0.475 or 47.5 % of the expected criteria. From the aspects of ease in working = 38 : 80 = 0.475 or 47.5 % of the expected criteria. While using the application program instrumentation toward specialization junior learners views on aspects of the system working speed = 66 : 80 = 0.825 or 82.5 % of that expected. Ease in working = 65 : 80 = 0.8125 or 81.25 % of the expected. For the lowest working system is the convenience aspect, which reached 81.25 % of the expected.  From the calculation we can conclude the difference between a working system without and with using the program. So that the application program instrumentation specialization direction data can be harnessed and used by teachers Guidance and Counseling in Pamekasan to improve performance in the implementation of the service. Suggestions can be submitted to the user program the data instrumentation applications, especially towards specialization learners in making its recommendation sheet, to be able to properly and optimally utilize it possible to increase the performance of services to students of teaching.

Objective: The aim of the presented study is to evaluate the adaptive process and psychiatric symptoms in the 7-12 age group followed-up with telemedicine interviews during the height of the pandemic. Method: Patients between the ages of 7-12 who were followed up in our outpatient clinic were called by telemedicine service at the appointment date. The questionnaire prepared by the researchers in order to investigate the adaptation process to the pandemic was administered, the answers provided by the patients and their families were recorded in the case data form together with Clinical Global Impression (CGI) Scale score appraised by the interviewing psychiatrist. Medical records pertaining to each patient were also reviewed, their psychiatric diagnoses, according to DSM 5 criteria and CGI scores recorded in their last face-to-face interviews during the pandemic period, were included in the case data form. Results: Fifty patients were included in the study. The mean age of the participants was 9.14±1.61 years. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (60%) was the most common psychiatric diagnosis detected in the participants before the pandemic, followed closely by anxiety and related disorders (20%) and specific learning difficulty (16%). The CGI scores of the cases before, and during the pandemic were 2.72±0.75, and 2.92±0.94, respectively. The difference between the mean scores was statistically significant (p=0.024). Conclusion: Our study emphasizes the importance of follow-up by telemental health practices in cases where face-to-face psychiatric interviews are not applicable, i.e., due to the risk of transmission of COVID-19 disease during the current pandemic

We have studied the destruction of rabbit muscle actin filaments by osmium tetroxide (OSO4) to develop methods which will preserve the structure of actin filaments during preparation for transmission electron microscopy.Negatively stained F-actin, which appears as smooth, gently curved filaments in control samples (Fig. 1a), acquire an angular, distorted profile and break into progressively shorter pieces after exposure to OSO4 (Fig. 1b,c). We followed the time course of the reaction with viscometry since it is a simple, quantitative method to assess filament integrity. The difference in rates of decay in viscosity of polymerized actin solutions after the addition of four concentrations of OSO4 is illustrated in Fig. 2. Viscometry indicated that the rate of actin filament destruction is also dependent upon temperature, buffer type, buffer concentration, and pH, and requires the continued presence of OSO4. The conditions most favorable to filament preservation are fixation in a low concentration of OSO4 for a short time at 0°C in 100mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 6.0.

Factor Type

Rapid thermal annealing (RTA) of ion-implanted Si is important for device fabrication. The defect structures of 2.5, 4.0, and 6.0 MeV As-implanted silicon irradiated to fluences of 2E14, 4E14, and 6E14, respectively, have been analyzed by electron diffraction both before and after RTA at 1100°C for 10 seconds. At such high fluences and energies the implanted As ions change the Si from crystalline to amorphous. Three distinct amorphous regions emerge due to the three implantation energies used (Fig. 1). The amorphous regions are separated from each other by crystalline Si (marked L1, L2, and L3 in Fig. 1) which contains a high concentration of small defect clusters. The small defect clusters were similar to what had been determined earlier as being amorphous zones since their contrast was principally of the structure-factor type that arises due to the difference in extinction distance between the matrix and damage regions.

SummaryChanges in platelets in 48 patients with uterine myoma before and after hysterectomy with and without ovariectomy were examined. Bilateral ovariectomy in 25 cases (ovariec-tomized group) and unilateral or non-ovariectomy in 23 cases (control group) were performed at the hysterectomy. Platelet count and an appearance rate of secondary aggregation decreased at one day after and increased at one week after the operation, similarly in both the ovariectomized and the control group. The appearance rate of secondary aggregation was reflected in an intensity of aggregation at 5 min after the addition of reagent to PRP. At one month after the operation, the appearance rate of secondary aggregation induced by 3 μM ADP showed a statistically significant decrease in comparison with the preoperation value (P <0.05) and the enhancement of 5-min aggregation was still observed in the control group, while ceased in the ovariectomized group. The difference between the two groups was significant (P < 0.05). There was almost no change in the speed and intensity of primary and secondary aggregation during the observation period. No significant differences in collagen-induced aggregation were noted between the two groups. The results suggest that ovarian hormones, mainly estrogen, facilitate platelet activation which is mediated by the so-called secondary aggregation.
