No full textDevelopment and implementation of a Sezer gastrostomy care bundle using the Knowledge to Action framework
No full textBackgroundThis project aimed to develop an evidence-based nursing care bundle after gastrostomy feeding tube insertion and implement it into clinical practice using the Knowledge to Action (KTA) framework.MethodsThis mixed-method design project was conducted in a university hospital between December 2021 and June 2022. The project was carried out in four phases: (1) development of an evidence-based care bundle, (2) education for care bundle training, (3) implementation of the care bundle, (4) evaluation of the care bundle. Nurses' compliance with bundles was measured using All-or-None measurement. The analysis of the qualitative interview conducted was performed using the content analysis method of Graneheim and Lundman.ResultsThe developed Sezer gastrostomy care bundle consists of three parameters (peristomal area care, tube feeding, and medication administration through the feeding tube) and a total of 14 elements to be applied by nurses under these parameters. Compliance rates for peristomal area care, tube feeding, and medication administration through feeding tube parameters were 100%, 98.66%, and 98.66%, respectively. Two themes and six subthemes emerged: (1) reflection of using the Sezer gastrostomy care bundle on nursing care and (2) adoption of Sezer gastrostomy care bundle.ConclusionThe gastrostomy care bundle was developed in accordance with the Institute of Healthcare Improvement's recommendations. The KTA framework provided an appropriate structure to transform evidence into practice, meticulously address barriers, evaluate outcomes, and ensure sustainability. The project found that nurses complied with all its parameters. Studies evaluating the effect of the gastrostomy care bundle on patient outcomes are recommended
Investigating lyrics in rock music genres, folk music and heavy metal and their effects on society
Get PDFMy extended essay deals with lyrics and their effects on the society. Lyrics are highly
important in music; they might cause you to feel a special feeling, they can affect you in
political means if it is a protest song or they can just entertain you. In my extended essay, I
deal with how lyrics vary between specific genres. When doing this, I looked at the meaning
behind the lyrics, what is aimed with those lyrics and the group of people that those lyrics
appeal to. What I saw was that some songs were written just to entertain, some had lyrics that
were part of the marketing of that band; like punk artists which used lyrics to appeal teenagers
and sell more records, some were expressing some problems; political or personal; like folk
artists which used lyrics to teach people. I also became aware that each lyric I studied was written not only by the author to feel relieved but it had a larger meaning, the lyrics I examined stood for a group of people, which I dealt with in my extended essay. My purpose
in studying this topic was to show how effective lyrics are – to sell more records, to stand for
an idea or to stand for a group of people – though we are not aware of it most of the time
Visibility, democratic public space and socially inclusive cities: The presence and changes of Turkish amenities in Amsterdam
Get PDFThis research introduces the concept of visibility as a useful tool to assess the democratic features of public spaces. It understands democratic public spaces as open spaces, which are accessible to all and allow different cultural expressions for individuals and groups. The concept of visibility refers to the visual perception of the observable features of distinctive urban groups in public space, which give evidence of how these groups engage with, shape, and construct public space. The research argues that the visibility of distinctive urban groups on the street manifests the rights of these groups to participate in public life, a key feature of socially inclusive cities. Consequently, the presence and change in visibility of urban groups in public space is highly political, raising issues in relation to just and unjust urban conditions. This research uses the visibility of Turkish amenities in Amsterdam as a proxy for the presence and appropriation of public spaces by Turkish immigrants in the context of urban transformation processes in the period between 2007 and 2016. It concludes by presenting the implications of the findings of empirical analysis for urban design and planning practice and research.A+BE | Architecture and the Built Environment No 4 (2020)Teachers of Practice /
Influence of technical, cognitive and socio-emotional factors on digital literacy in nursing students assessed using structural equation modeling
No full textBackground: Digital literacy is one of the 21st-century skills that nursing students should develop and acquire. Several factors influencing digital literacy have been identified, but the predictive role of technical, cognitive, and socio-emotional factors in digital literacy remains unexplored in nursing students. Objective: This study aimed to explore the digital literacy level and determine the predictive role of technical, cognitive, and socio-emotional factors in digital literacy among nursing students in Turkey using a structural equation modeling (SEM)–based approach. Design: A web-based, predictive, cross-sectional study. Settings: This study was conducted among first-, second-, third- and fourth-year students in a nursing faculty located in the capital of Turkey in the academic year 2021–2022. Participants: Overall, 210 nursing students were recruited for this study. Methods: The use of a digital literacy model guided data collection. Data were collected between 8 and 28 June 2022 using online Google Forms. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and SEM. Results: Nursing students' digital literacy mean score was 67.29 (13.60). Internet self-efficacy (β = 0.31, p < 0.001), online information search strategies (β = 0.20, p = 0.003), and online privacy concerns (β = 0.14, p = 0.024) were positive predictors, whereas social media use (β = −0.13, p = 0.032) was a negative predictor of digital literacy. Among these variables, Internet self-efficacy had the most significant influence on the digital literacy level. The four variables contributed to 22 % of variance in the digital literacy level. Conclusions: This study shows nursing students' digital literacy level is above average. Our findings suggest that technical, cognitive, and socio-emotional factors influence digital literacy
A Comparison of Covariates, Equating Designs, and Methods in Equating TIMSS 2019 Science Tests
Get PDFThis research aimed to compare the equated scores by the methods based on classical test theory (CTT) and kernel equating, using covariates design (NEC) and anchor test design (NEAT). TIMSS 2019 science test scores equated by both Tucker, Levine true score, Levine observed score, equipercentile equating (pre-smoothing and post-smoothing) methods in CTT, and linear and equipercentile methods in kernel equating. Additionally, the covariates in NEC design were “home resources for learning,” “student confidence in science and mathematics,” “like learning science,” “instructional clarity in science lessons,” “math achievement,” “sex,” and “speaking the language of the test at home”. The equating results in NEC were compared with those in NEAT and EG. The participants comprised 1699 4th-grade students who attended the e-TIMSS 2019 in Canada, Singapore, and Chile. Results were analyzed according to equating errors and differences between equated scores. The research concluded that math achievement and home resources for learning could be used as covariates in NEC to equate the science test in case equating could not be done in the NEAT. However, when the other variables were used as covariates in NEC, the equated scores were very similar to the EG. Also, Tucker (CTT) and post-stratification (kernel) yielded similar equated scores in linear equating, and these methods were similarly different from kernel linear equating in EG. In equipercentile equating, the equated scores obtained from the post-smoothing (CTT) and EG were close to each other but slightly differed from post-stratification

No full text"This edited volume portrays marketplaces from a mobility perspective as dynamic and open entities consisting of flows of people, goods and ideas.
There is a renewed interest in research and policy arenas in marketplaces as the core of cities’ spatial and economic development and sociocultural life, as incubators of urban renewal and platforms of alternative consumption models and as source of livelihood for many people worldwide. Contributions of this book draw on notions of movements, representations and practices to illustrate that markets have physical reality but are also culturally and socially encoded, and experienced through practice. It brings together empirically evidenced scholarly and practice-based works from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain, Bulgaria, Turkey, Lebanon, Peru, Brazil, Vietnam, South Africa and India.
This book is primarily intended for scholars and graduate students of urban geography, urban design and planning, sociology, anthropology, who are interested in the relation between place and mobility in general, and markets as ‘knots’ in the city, in particular. It also informs policy-makers how urban planning policies and design interventions for marketplaces may foster more socially inclusive and environmentally just cities.
