Satisfaction on Nursing Management of Postoperative Complications Rendered by Surgical Staff Nurses in Philippines
No full textThis study examined the satisfaction levels of surgical staff nurses and clients on the nursing management of postoperative complications in different hospitals in Iriga City, Philippines. The study investigated the personal and professional attributes of surgical staff nurses, the level of satisfaction of nursing care in preventing postoperative complications, the relationship between personal and professional attributes and interventions, and proposed measures based on the study's findings. The results showed that most surgical staff nurses were female, had a baccalaureate degree, attended training in the surgical area, and had 6 to 10 years of experience. Both staff nurses and patients were satisfied with the nursing management rendered in preventing postoperative complications, and there was no significant difference in satisfaction levels between clients and staff nurses. There was no significant relationship between the profile of staff nurses and the level of satisfaction with nursing care for preventing postoperative complications
Hybrid Performances In The Utopian Thinking Of Modesto Brocos Y Gomez (1852-1936) [performances Híbridas No Pensamento Utópico De Modesto Brocos Y Gomez (1852-1936)]
No full textThis paper aims to discuss the hybrid performances in the thinking of Modesto Brocos y Gomez. It Uses as source the book Journey to Mars (1930), a fictional work that transits between the utopian genre and the anecdotal mode. For that it discusses the connection of the author to utopian literary genre and its relation to satire, linking them to the discussions of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries on the whitening of the Brazilian people, taking also into account his paintings on this subject.382363380Brocos y Gomez, M., (1930) Viaje a Marte, , Valencia: Arte y LetrasCampanella, T., (2002) Cidade Do Sol, , http://www.dominiopublico.gov.br, Edição digital de Marcelo C.

Water transfers in Northern California : analyzing the termination of the San Francisco--Modesto Irrigation District water transfer
No full textThesis (M.C.P.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 2013.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Cataloged from student-submitted PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (p. 93-98).From 2011 to 2012, the Modesto Irrigation District (MID) and the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) attempted to broker a deal that would transfer water from the rural Central California district to the metropolitan Bay Area. With a contract length of 50 years, it represented the type of long--term agricultural--to--urban water deal many experts had long anticipated occurring in Northern California, and might open the door for larger transfer deals in the region. Such transfers had been extolled for years by economists, policymakers, and even some environmentalists as an optimal way to manage scarce water resources among a variety of interests. This optimism was countered by those fearing potential social, economic, and environmental harm that such deals would bring upon those not directly involved in the negotiation, known as "third parties," and literature suggested these third--party concerns were a major hurdle in completing transfer deals. The SFPUC--MID proposal fell through in September of 2012, and this thesis set out to explore the key factors in its collapse using an institutional framework. Analyzing data collected through detailed interviews and primary sources, this thesis concluded that third--party concerns played only a tertiary role in the termination of the negotiations. Far more consequential factors were rifts within the MID, caused in large part by the election of a board member adamantly opposed to the transfer, and the threat of legal action by the city of Modesto, already engaged in a contract with the MID. These spheres of conflict--within the negotiating agency, among contractual partners, and outside by third parties--combined to scuttle the deal. As a result of the failed transfer, the two agencies are taking two very different paths forward, with the SFPUC considering a similar water deal with a different irrigation district while the MID, after an overhaul of personnel, will tackle its challenges with a completely new management approach. The thesis concludes with recommendations for those in the water management field, the most significant regarding the importance of dry year arrangements and the capacity of institutional leveraging.by Keith Tanner.M.C.P
Evandro Affonso Ferreira: vidas desengraçadas e o arquivo debilitado
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-graduação em LiteraturaEsta dissertação investiga procedimentos da escritura de Evandro Affonso Ferreira, autor brasileiro contemporâneo com cinco livros publicados até o momento. Estes procedimentos são estudados a partir de como suas personagens se movem. O trabalho se divide em duas partes: a primeira é um jogo entre uma galeria (possível e falhada) de estúpidos e suas "vidas infames", acerca da experiência e da existência precárias dessas personagens. O jogo se dá num contágio com as artes visuais (Marcelo Coutinho, Elida Tessler e León Ferrari) e com alguns outros textos ficcionais de autores como Gusmán, Kafka, Melville, Walser etc. A segunda é como o autor trabalha com seus textos, seus livros e o léxico que usa - as palavras sonoras -, como se tudo isso formasse um só livro, livre numa biblioteca de babel da língua, da imaginação, da memória, da literatura. O livro como objeto que compõe a trajetória de um autor-leitor, a sua coleção babélica. Para isso faço uso de teóricos como Agamben, Benjamin, Blanchot, Derrida, Deleuze, Foucault entre outros. This dissertation investigates writing procedures by Evandro Affonso Ferreira, a contemporary Brazilian author with five books published so far. These procedures are studied according to the movement of the characters. The work is divided in two parts: the first one is a game for a galery (possible and failed) of stupids and its "infamous lives" regarding the precarious experience and existence of these characters. The game happens in an involvement with the visual arts (Marcelo Coutinho, Elida Tessler and León Ferrari) and with some other fictional texts from authors like Gusmán, Kafka, Melville, Walser etc. The second one is how the author works with his texts, books and the lexicon he uses - the sonorous words -, as all this would form a single (an unique) book, free in a Babel library of the language, of the imagination, of the memory, of the literature. The book as an object that compounds the trajectory of an author-reader, his Babelic collection. For this I use the theories of Agamben, Benjamin, Blanchot, Derrida, Deleuze, Foucault and others

Quantum scalar field theories with fractional operators
No full text46 pag., 5 figs. -- This is a companion article to 2021 Class. Quantum Grav. 38 165005We study a class of perturbative scalar quantum field theories where dynamics is characterized by Lorentz-invariant or Lorentz-breaking non-local operators of fractional order and the underlying spacetime has a varying spectral dimension. These theories are either ghost free or power-counting renormalizable but they cannot be both at the same time. However, some of them are one-loop unitary and finite, and possibly unitary and finite at all orders.The author is supported by the I+D Grants FIS2017-86497-C2-2-P and PID2020-118159GBC41 of the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation.

The Argead Kings of Macedonia in the 'Chronicle' of John of Nikiu
No full textThe research was supported by the Russian Science Foundation, project nº 22-18-00493, carried out on the basis of the St. Petersburg State UniversityThis essay deals with a description of the reigns of the Macedonian kings of the Argead dynasty (Philip II, Alexander the Great and Philip III Arrhidaeus) in the Chronicle of John of Nikiu (late 7th century AD). The author argues that in contrast to John of Nikiu's information about Philip II and Philip III Arrhidaeus, the account of Alexander found in his Chronicle is far from being merely a truncated version of the corresponding story given by John Malalas (6th century AD), but has a certain self-sufficiency. Therefore, in the opinion of the author, it can be well assumed that the image of Alexander presented by John of Nikiu holds a special, albeit quite modest, place among the portraits of the great conqueror we find in the Byzantine world's literature.Este ensayo trata de la descripción de los reinados de los reyes macedonios de la dinastía Argead (Filipo II, Alejandro Magno y Filipo III Arrideo) en la Crónica de Juan de Nikiu (finales del siglo VII d.C.). El autor argumenta que, en contraste con la información de Juan de Nikiu sobre Filipo II y Filipo III Arrideo, el relato de Alejandro que se encuentra en su Crónica dista mucho de ser una mera versión truncada del relato correspondiente dado por Juan Malalas (siglo VI d.C.), sino que tiene cierta autosuficiencia. Por tanto, en opinión del autor, cabe suponer que la imagen de Alejandro presentada por Juan de Nikiu ocupa un lugar especial, aunque bastante modesto, entre los retratos del gran conquistador que encontramos en la literatura del mundo bizantino
Saturday Night Live Club Lamb Sale
No full text“Competition is said to be the backbone of the stock show industry,” (Davis, 1998). A statement spoken in a 1998 thesis paper on the junior livestock industry still holds water in today’s world. Youth livestock exhibition, especially in California, continues to grow in the number of youth participants and the number of livestock entries at shows (Switzer, 2019).
It is the responsibility of livestock breeders to breed, raise, and sell their livestock to maximize the opportunity for youth to acquire livestock to show. In his research, Wendt discusses the capabilities of purchasing livestock through online platforms. He speaks to the wide variety of livestock outside of Oklahoma, where the study was conducted, and how much easier it was to find stock on the internet for his agricultural students (Wendt, 2014). Although technology has advanced to market and sell livestock in a digital era, the practicality of modern day live auctions will remain intact
Livestock exhibition and youth livestock sales promote improvement in life skills. Future education goals in youths were reported to be positively impacted around those who are involved in the livestock industry (Evans, 2019). The industry only exists if it is continually feed by consumers. There are hundreds of live and online sales each year, so it was only fitting to bring one to the Central Valley of California. Consigners from across the United States have already shown interest in the sale and the author noted providing another opportunity for youth to purchase show quality livestock exists. The author will establish a youth livestock sale called the Saturday Night Live Sale and it will be hosted in Modesto, California

Adorno, Dialéctica del Iluminismo, Buenos Aires, Sur, 1970, p. 7.2 Frank Tannenbaurn, "La lucha por la paz y por el pan", Problemas agrícolas e industriales de México, México, octubre-diciembre de 1951, vol. III, núm. 4, p. 130.3 Ibid., p. 131.4 Ibid., p. 133.5 Lo que proponía era lograr "la colectividad del campo en su plena extensión, vigorizándola con la técnica y la destreza de la ciencia moderna en su aplicación a pequeños sectores". Ibid., p. 133.6 Ibid., p. 133.7 Ibid., p. 132.8 Resulta sorprendente la semejanza de algunos de los planteamientos de Tannenbaum con los de quienes hoy, teniendo a la luz los resultados de la industrialización y los cada vez más evidentes límites al crecimiento económico, han cuestionado su desarrollo, tanto en el sistema capitalista como en el socialista. Dice Schurnacher: "La sabiduría convencional de lo que ahora se enseña como economía pasa por encima de los pobres, precisamente aquellos que necesitan el desarrollo. La economía del gigantismo y de la automatización es un remanente de las condiciones y del pensamiento del siglo XIX, totalmente incapaz de resolver ninguno de los problemas de hoy. Se necesita un sistema totalmente nuevo de pensamiento, un sistema basado en la atención a la gente y no a las mercancías (...). Debemos aprender a pensar en términos de una estructura articulada que pueda dar cabida a una variada multiplicidad de unidades de pequeña escala". Lo pequeño es hermoso, Madrid, Hermann Blume, 1978, pp. 62 y 63. Y agrega más adelante: "Las unidades de producción descentralizadas, de relativamente pequeña escala, que faciliten a un gran número de gente el obtener trabajos más productivos, pueden maximizar la autosuficiencia local (y nacional) y abrir el camino para el desarrollo futuro de las capacidades locales". Ibid., p. 305. Andre Gorz, por su parte escribe: "¿Por qué, por otra parte, nadie se preocupa de evaluar el costo real del gigantismo industrial del que generalmente se asegura que permite 'economías de escala', mientras que también es cierto que engendra enormes costos indirectos? Como señala Jean Marie Chevalier, el gran tamaño, que evidentemente obstaculiza la autogestión, responde ante todo a la voluntad de una empresa de centralizar y de monopolizar una producción. El tamaño óptimo, desde el punto de vista de los precios de costo, es frecuentemente inferior al tamaño real." Adiós al proletariado, Barcelona, El Viejo Topo, 1981, p. 139. Desde las más diversas perspectivas se ha comenzado a reconocer la necesidad de modificar los patrones de crecimiento y de romper la dinámica de los modelos de industrialización tradicionales, ante el agotamiento de los recursos y la depredación de la naturaleza que producen. Una de las bases de este sistema ha residido en la apropiación estatal de empresas.9 Respecto a este punto escribía Tannenbaum: "Las inversiones en acciones y bonos de treinta y una empresas revelan que apenas existe un campo de actividad económica en que el Gobierno no esté participando. Estas inversiones se han hecho en empresas que incluyen la producción cinematográfica, la manufactura de películas, una compañía de teatro, una empresa deshidratadora, distribución de aguas, molinería, artes gráficas, un semanario, una fábrica de cerveza y un consorcio marítimo. Las inversiones mayores han sido en acero, cobre, fertilizantes, azúcar, cemento, electricidad y artisela".

No sólo dice el libro de Tannenbaum que México ha errado el camino, sino algo más grave y que tiene que revolver y rebelar al mexicano, y hacerlo saltar, corno de muerte herido. La tesis principal de Tannenbaurn es que México no puede jugar con éxito la carta del grande, del fuerte y del rumboso, sino la del alerta, del modesto y del equilibrado; que jugar a aquélla lo ha metido ya en una ratonera sin salida".

Existen, respecto a este último punto, más preguntas que respuestas. Aún no se ha realizado una reflexión sobre las condiciones culturales y las determinantes ideológicas que sustentaron el proyecto fallido de modernización mexicana. ¿Cómo cobraron vigencia los mitos universales del progreso y de la evolución en nuestra realidad de caciques y caudillos? ¿De qué manera se conjugó nuestra cultura política premoderna (el cañonazo de 50 mil pesos y el “mátalos en caliente”) con el sueño del progreso y la industrialización capitalista? ¿Cómo se conformó esa curiosa dialéctica mexicana del iluminismo
Differential stability of 2'F-ANA*RNA and ANA*RNA hybrid duplexes: roles of structure, pseudohydrogen bonding, hydration, ion uptake and flexibility
No full text14 pags., 7 figs., 3 tabs.Hybrids of RNA with arabinonucleic acids 2′F-ANA and ANA have very similar structures but strikingly different thermal stabilities. We now present a thorough study combining NMR and other biophysical methods together with state-of-the-art theoretical calculations on a fully modified 10-mer hybrid duplex. Comparison between the solution structure of 2′F-ANA•RNA and ANA•RNA hybrids indicates that the increased binding affinity of 2′F-ANA is related to several subtle differences, most importantly a favorable pseudohydrogen bond (2′F-purine H8) which contrasts with unfavorable 2′-OH-nucleobase steric interactions in the case of ANA. While both 2′F-ANA and ANA strands maintained conformations in the southern/eastern sugar pucker range, the 2′F-ANA strand's structure was more compatible with the A-like structure of a hybrid duplex. No dramatic differences are found in terms of relative hydration for the two hybrids, but the ANA•RNA duplex showed lower uptake of counterions than its 2′F-ANA•RNA counterpart. Finally, while the two hybrid duplexes are of similar rigidities, 2′F-ANA single strands may be more suitably preorganized for duplex formation. Thus the dramatically increased stability of 2′F-ANA•RNA and ANA•RNA duplexes is caused by differencesin at least four areas, of which structure and pseudohydrogen bonding are the most important. © The Author(s) 2010.
