A masterpiece born because of the creativity. In a process of creativity, an author usually inspired by the phenomenon that happen in life that applied into a literaly work. Such as Hotaru no Haka anime, an animation movie which talks about Japanese’s life in the past facing the world war II. The study is aimed at analyzing the change of mindset and behavior children figure who live in war environment.
A method that used in this study is descriptive contrastive method through literary. The theories that used to analyze are narrative structure and psycology of psychosocial development theory. The narrative structure is used to analyze the basic elements of nattarive, place, and time elements while psychology of psychosocial development theory isused to analyze the change of children in the war environment and what is the difference with the children in general.
The result of this study is aimed at explaining how is the mindset and behavior children changes because of pressure and environment effect. In this case, war environment can give a behavior difference between children victim war and children with the same age in general.

Intracutaneous or subcutaneous sterile water injection compared with blinded controls for pain management in labour
No full textExtent: 40p.Background: Intracutaneous or subcutaneous injection of sterile water is rapidly gaining popularity as a method of pain relief in labour and it is therefore essential that it is properly evaluated. Adequate analgesia in labour is important to women worldwide. Sterile water injection is inexpensive, requires basic equipment, and appears to have few side effects. It is purported to work for labour pain. Objectives: To determine the efficacy of sterile water injections for relief of pain (both typical contraction pain and intractable back pain) during labour compared to placebo (isotonic saline injections) or non-pharmacological interventions, and to identify any relevant effects on mode and timing of delivery, or safety of both mother and baby. Search methods: We searched the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group's Trials Register (30 May 2011), MEDLINE, and EMBASE (January 2010 to 30 May 2011), together with reference lists in retrieved studies and review articles. Selection criteria: We included randomised, double blind, controlled studies using intracutaneous or subcutaneous sterile water injections for pain relief during labour. There were no restrictions on birth place, parity, risk, age, weight, gestation, or stage of labour. Potential comparators were placebo (saline) and non-pharmacological interventions (e.g. hypnosis or biofeedback). Data collection and analysis: Two review authors independently assessed eligibility and quality of trials, and extracted data. We resolved any disagreements or uncertainties by discussion with a third review author. Primary outcome measures were at least 50% pain relief, or at least 30%, pain relief, patient global impression of change of at least 'good', mode of delivery, perinatal morbidity and mortality, maternal complications and adverse events. Secondary outcomes were women with any pain relief, use of rescue analgesia, and treatment group average pain relief. We made explicit judgements about potential biases in the studies. Main results: We included seven studies, with 766 participants: four used intracutaneous injections, two subcutaneous, and one both. All reported on low back pain in labour only. Methodological quality was good, but four studies were at high risk of bias due to small size of treatment groups, incomplete outcome data, and performance bias. All studies reported treatment group mean or median scores, finding greater reduction in pain for sterile water. However, failure to demonstrate a normal distribution for pain intensity or relief, and use of different scales, meant meta-analysis was inappropriate. No study reported primary dichotomous efficacy outcomes. One reported the number self-scoring 4/10 cm or more reduction in pain; significantly more had this outcome with sterile water (50% to 60%) than with placebo (20% to 25%). There was no significant difference between sterile water and saline for rates of caesarean section (risk ratio (RR) 0.58, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.33 to 1.02), instrumental delivery (RR 1.31, 95% CI 0.79 to 2.18), rescue analgesia (RR 0.86, 95% CI 0.44 to 1.69), timing of delivery, or Apgar scores. Two studies reported that more women treated with sterile water would request the same analgesia in future. No study reported on women's satisfaction with pain relief, women's sense of control in labour, women's satisfaction with the childbirth experience, mother/baby interaction, rates of breastfeeding, maternal morbidity, infant long-term outcomes, or cost. No adverse events were reported other than transient pain with injection, which was worse with sterile water. Authors' conclusions: The outcomes reported severely limit conclusions for clinical practice. We found little robust evidence that sterile water is effective for low back or any oth er labour pain. Neither did we find any difference in delivery or other maternal or fetal outcomes. Further large, methodologically rigorous studies are required to determine the efficacy of sterile ...Sheena Derry, Sebastian Straube, R Andrew Moore, Heather Hancock, Sally L Collin
Civil Society Leaders’ Experiences of Peacebuilding in Londonderry/Derry City, Northern Ireland: Transforming Cultural and Psychological Barriers
No full textThis article reviews the empirical data the second author collected from 120 semi-structured interviews with the leaders of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and funding agency development officers conducted during the summer of 2010 in Northern Ireland and the Border Counties. The research explores 44 Derry City respondents\u27 experiences and perceptions regarding external economic aid in the Northern Ireland peace process. To this end, this article explores the role of economic aid from the International Fund for Ireland (IFI) and the European Union (EU) Peace and Reconciliation or Peace 3 Fund in engaging with civil society in transforming psychological and cultural barriers towards building sustainable peace in Londonderry or Derry City. Themes emerged inductively from data. It includes the CSO leaders\u27 and funding agency development officers\u27 perspectives on building peace and both funds\u27 impact on the Northern Ireland peacebuilding process. CSO leaders and funding agency development officers acknowledge the importance of external economic assistance support in development and forging cross-community contact projects. The interviewees also highlighted issues related to political participation, community competitiveness, and psychological barriers that emerge from CSOs working with both programs. Some of the conclusions are related to broadened peace process interventions to a multi-articulated approach that includes different areas of peacebuilding intervention
Ségrégation, lutte territoriale et affrontements identitaires dans un espace post-conflictuel, le cas des militants républicains dans les quartiers nationalistes de Belfast et Derry
No full textCet article traite de l’affrontement identitaire opposant les unionistes aux nationalistes pour la possession de l’espace dans les quartiers de Belfast et Derry. Élément déterminant de la politique et l’identité en Irlande du Nord, l’espace possède une importance stratégique pour garantir la survie d’une communauté dans cette ville ségrégée. En posant l’hypothèse d’une pacification de la lutte territoriale suite à la situation politique post-conflictuelle, l’auteur montre que le conflit spatial est toujours actuel et qu’il exacerbe les antagonismes politiques et identitaires à travers des logiques de provocation et de défense du quartier. En mobilisant des observations participantes et des entretiens avec des militants républicains, l’auteur retranscrit les comportements quotidiens de ces militants ainsi que leurs stratégies offensives et défensives pour maintenir la cohésion de leurs quartiers face aux unionistes.This article deals with the identity confrontation between unionists and nationalists for the possession of space in the Belfast and Derry districts. As a defining element of politics and identity in Northern Ireland, space has a strategic importance to ensure the survival of a community in this segregated city. By making the assumption of a pacification of the territorial struggle following the post-conflict political situation, the author shows that the space conflict is still current ant that it exacerbates political and identity antagonisms through the logic of provocation and defense of the district. By mobilising participating observations and interviews with Republican activists, the author rewrites the daily behaviour of these activists as well as their offensive and defensive strategies to maintain the cohesion of their districts against the unionists
Suprapubic catheterisation: a study of 1000 elective procedures
No full textObjectives
To investigate the risks and long-term outcomes of suprapubic catheter (SPC) insertion in a population predominantly with spinal cord injury.
Materials and Methods
We used the theatre database at the National Spinal Injuries Centre in Stoke Mandeville Hospital to identify 1000 consecutive SPC insertions from 1998 to 2015. We retrospectively analysed all records for these patients.
Results
Follow-up ranged from 4 weeks to 16.45 years (median 3.3 years). Either cystoscopy-guided suprapubic puncture (Lawrence Add-a-Cath trochar) or a direct incision onto a urethral sound (Lowsley retractor) followed by cystoscopy was used for 98% of insertions. Complications graded as Clavien–Dindo IIIb or higher occurred in 0.6% of patients. Return to theatre was necessary in 0.4%, including three laparotomies due to bleeding or misplacement of the catheter, but no bowel injuries occurred. One death occurred within 30 days due to pulmonary embolism. There were no significant differences in outcomes between insertion methods. Tolerance of long-term suprapubic catheterisation was high, despite 59% of cases experiencing mostly minor complications. Tract losses during routine community change and variability in antibiotic prescribing highlighted areas for educational development which could improve patient outcomes.
Conclusions
This study supports the view that the risk of major complications from SPC insertion is lower than previously reported. Minor complications related to the catheter are common in the long term but are generally well tolerated

No full textThe value of values in business purchase decisions
No full textPermission to archive accepted author manuscript.Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop and test a theoretical framework to examine business purchase decisions using the concept of “values” (personal values (PV), organizational values (OV) and values-congruency).
Design/methodology/approach: The data for the study were collected from members of the Supply Chain Management Association of Canada. The relationships between perceived PV/OV/ values-congruency (IVs) and perceived role values played in business purchase decisions (DV) were hypothesized. Three factors, namely, humanity, bottomline and convention were identified using exploratory factor analysis. The hypotheses were tested using polynomial regression, which is a preferred method for measuring congruency or fit (Edwards, 1994).
Findings: Perceived humanity (humaneness or benevolence) values of an organization were found to have a positive relationship with the perceived role that humanity and convention (risk aversion or compliance) values played in business purchase decisions. Perceived purchase function formalization within buying organizations was also found to have a positive relationship with the perceived role of humanity, bottomline and convention values played in business purchase decisions.
Research limitations/implications: The study drew a relatively small convenience sample from a single industry association/country with a low response rate. It used the perceived role of values instead of behavioral intention or actual behavior to measure business purchasing behavior. McDonald and Gandz’s (1991; 1993) list of values may be more suitable to measure OV than PV. The study only considered the buyer side of purchase decisions and values to have positive characteristics.
Practical implications: Buying organizations may consider formalizing their purchase functions, clarifying their humaneness/benevolence and risk aversion/compliance values to their employees and vendors and incorporating them in the purchasing criteria/process. Similarly, selling organizations may benefit from considering these values of customers to position their products and services for better sales outcomes and business relationships.
Originality/value: The study explores the role of values in business purchase contexts by proposing and testing a theoretical framework. The study has implications for practitioners and academics in the field and identifies several areas for future research.Ye
Nicea Council and Nurcholish Madjid on Human Dignity: a Way of Dialog
No full textOne of the discussions in the Council of Nicea was that man was created in the Imago Dei (the image of God). With the presence of Christ as God incarnate, this understanding is further affirmed, that man has sacred value and ultimate goal in relation to God. In line with that, Nurcholish Madjid, who is one of the Islamic figures in Indonesia, also has interesting thoughts about human beings, especially about human dignity. His thinking is based on Islamic teachings about humans being created as representatives of Allah in this world. This theme of human dignity is important, especially when viewed from two perspectives, Catholicism (in the Council of Nicaea) and Islam (in Nurcholish Madjid's thought). The hope is the creation of a dialogue of thought between two different cultures for the sake of creating harmony and mutual understanding. Therefore, this article wants to answer the question of How did Nurcholish Madjid and the Council of Nicea think about human dignity? The author tries to see the connection between the points of thought in the council of Nicaea and the points of thought of Nurcholish Madjid. Using the Appreciative Inquiry and interculturality approach, the author wants to dialogue these two thoughts and find out what things are related to each other. This paper argues that both Nicea and Madjid contribute valuable insights into the discourse on human dignity. This common view can be a way of dialogue between Islam and Catholicism so that harmony can be created in religious life

Uro-Vaxom® versus placebo for the prevention of recurrent symptomatic urinary tract infections in participants with chronic neurogenic bladder dysfunction: a randomised controlled feasibility study
No full textAbstract Background Patients with lower neurogenic bladder dysfunction are at an increased risk of suffering from recurrent urinary tract infections. Recurrent symptomatic urinary tract infection is occasionally treated with antibiotics as a prophylactic prevention strategy. This risks increasing the frequency of antibiotic resistance. National healthcare policymakers have requested further research into alternative preventive measures for pathologies that require antibiotic treatment. Methods This study protocol describes a two-centre, randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the prevention of recurrent urinary tract infections with the commercial immunotherapy agent Uro-Vaxom®, based on Escherichia coli pathogen-associated molecular patterns. Eligible participants are recruited by the direct healthcare team and randomised to receive Uro-Vaxom® in the form of an oral capsule, or a matching placebo. Participants will receive the study treatment daily for 3 months and followed up for an additional 3 months so that the number of symptomatic urinary tract infection episodes and individual signs and symptoms per episode can be recorded using participant study diaries. Primary outcome measures are: number of symptomatic urinary tract infections experienced over 3 months, number of symptomatic urinary tract infections experienced over 6 months, time from the start of treatment to the first urinary tract infection, and the presence of asymptomatic bacteriuria at 3 and 6 months. Secondary outcome measures are: individually recorded symptoms normally associated with recurrent urinary tract infection and consistency of reported symptoms during the symptomatic urinary tract infection experienced during the study, compliance with study protocol and study medication, and adverse events. Discussion Healthcare policymakers recommend that alternative preventative strategies are identified for symptomatic urinary tract infections that require antibiotic treatment. If Uro-Vaxom® is shown to be effective, this feasibility study would warrant a larger, statistically powered, multicentre study to investigate whether this immunotherapy strategy is an effective preventative measure for recurrent symptomatic urinary tract infection for people with spinal cord injuries and neurological pathologies.
