THE TRANSITION TO LIFE WITH BOWEL ELIMINATION STOMA: A NURSING INTERVENTION PROGRAM
No full textThe person with a bowel elimination stoma deals with a set of physical, psychological and social stressors. The way how this event is experienced is influenced by several factors the competence of self-care for the stoma. The literature maintains that a systematized approach performed by nurses in the perioperative period, as well after hospital discharge, aimed the competence for self-care, associated with a better level of adaptation to the stoma, reduction of the stoma and peristoma skin complications and better quality of life for the person with an intestinal elimination ostomy.
Currently, there is not known nursing intervention program aimed at self-care of the stoma for the person proposed to the construction of a bowel elimination stoma that includes the perioperative period, as well as follow-up after hospital discharge.
In this context, the purpose of this project is to define a systematic and detailed nursing intervention program, aimed at promoting self-care for the stoma in the person proposed for the construction of a bowel elimination stoma, a program that will constitute an orientation for nurses for clinical practice.
For this, it is proposed to carry out a research study using the recommendations for the development of complex interventions in the health area, using a mixed methodology, divided into two phases.
In the first phase, a scoping review of the literature will be carried out, centered on interventions and programs aimed at promoting self-care competence for bowel elimination stoma. It will be as well used a qualitative methodology, in which we intend, on the one hand, to know the perspective of nurses in the clinical practice on nursing interventions, on the other hand, to know the perspective of people living with an intestinal elimination stoma on the information necessary for the promotion of self-care competence for bowel elimination stoma. Subsequently, the nursing intervention program will be designed and validated using the focus group methodology
Data and platform co-ops in smart city citizenship: interview with Igor Calzada
No full textIgor Calzada is a senior researcher at universities like Oxford and Cardiff with a focus on urban, regional and technopolitical transformations, considering data issues and social innovation. In November 2020, he launched the book Smart City Citizenship, which proposes another framework at smart cities based on democratic governance and citizenship. Thus, he presents how it is possible to understand and intervene in technopolitical disputes involving algorithms, data, and artificial intelligence based on notions such as digital sovereignty. Among the possibilities, there is the creation of data and platform co-ops based on data and digital commons. For the author, data cooperatives are a subtype of platform cooperatives, in which they focus on business models, while data co-ops share and store data. The book analyzes, among other cases, the Barcelona ecosystem and proposes perspectives for public policies. Currently, Calzada is interested in exploring new models of data governance and artificial intelligence to propose alternative ways to data ecosystems in the European scenario. He defends experimental cities as a reaction to the mainstream idea of the city as a platform, as a reproduction of extractive and panoptic practices through hyperconnectivity. But it will be very difficult in a dangerous context. And he provokes: “how, in the current context, in which we are closed in our homes, can we propose cities with open systems? Other recommendations from the author are an article on platform and data co-ops published in Sustainability journal and a conversation in Spanish about social innovation in smart cities.

Introduzione a Igor Spanò (a cura di) Il Teatro e la festa. Il tempio, la piazza, la scena
No full textPer tre giorni gli studiosi che sono intervenuti al Convegno hanno riflettuto sul senso e sulle funzioni, sulle pratiche cultuali e rituali, sui luoghi che hanno definito nel corso del tempo i momenti della festa e sulle forme di rappresentazione agonistica (danze, corse, gare, giochi di abilità) o drammatica - di cui erano parte essenziale la musica e il canto - che, spesso intrinsecamente, li accompagnano. L'autore nella sua introduzione esamina le sfumature di significato che racchiude il termine utsava, “festa”, “gioia” in sanscrito.For three days the scholars who spoke at the conference reflected on the meaning and functions, on the cult and ritual practices, on the places that have defined the moments of the celebration over time and on the forms of competitive representation (dances, races, competitions, skill games) or dramatic - of which music and singing were an essential part - which, often intrinsically, accompany them. In his introduction, the author examines the nuances of meaning contained in the term utsava, "feast", "joy" in Sanskrit
Improving Stoma Site Location in Urgent or Emergency Surgery
No full textIn unplanned surgery, stoma site marking is unusual, increasing the risk of complications. Data on stoma site marking in a hospital in the northern region of Portugal and guidance in emergency situations are unavailable.
Objective: To increase bowel elimination stoma site marking for patients undergoing unplanned surgery.
Methods: A protocol for a best practice implementation project based on the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle and consists of 4 phases: identification of the problem; analysis of the causes and the definition of the specific objectives; planning and implementing the intervention, checking the results, proposing corrective measures, standardizing procedures, and training the team. Data will be gathered using questionnaires for nurses, analysis of existing information systems, and the implementation of an audit grid. Results: The first two phases allowed the identification of the main shortcomings and draft of a multimodal intervention that will comprise educational strategies, implementation of a decision-making algorithm, and audit. A decrease in skin complications is expected. Increased confidence, independence in stoma self-care, and awareness of stoma living are also anticipated. Implementing this project may lead to a reduction in healthcare costs and an overall improvement in the quality of life of the person with a stoma
The Transition To Life With Bowel Elimination Stoma: A Nursing Intervention Program
No full textA person with an intestinal elimination stoma faces daily physical, psychological and social challenges. The way in which this event is experienced is influenced by multiple factors, with self-care competence in stoma management being the aspect with the greatest impact on adaptation.
Existing nursing intervention programmes, both nationally and internationally, tend to focus either on adaptation processes or on the semantic description of interventions, sometimes addressing only specific perioperative stages or limited domains of self-care competence. Furthermore, they do not define, in an objective and rigorous manner, the nursing interventions themselves, their content, methods of delivery, or dosage.
Therefore, the aim of this project was to develop and evaluate the adequacy and feasibility of a nursing intervention programme to promote self-care in individuals with an intestinal elimination stoma, providing guidance for nurses in clinical practice.
To achieve the proposed objectives, the Medical Research Council framework for the development of complex interventions was adopted.
Initially, a scoping review of the literature was conducted, focusing on interventions aimed at promoting self-care in individuals with an intestinal elimination stoma.
Subsequently, a qualitative study was undertaken using semi-structured interviews and content analysis according to Bardin’s categorical analysis approach, with the aim of exploring the perspectives of clinical nurses and service users regarding the promotion of self-care in individuals with an intestinal elimination stoma.
Based on the evidence identified and the findings of the qualitative study, a first version of the nursing intervention programme for the promotion of self-care in intestinal elimination stoma (PIPO-EI) was developed.
To assess the adequacy and feasibility of the programme, a qualitative focus group study was conducted with stoma care nurses and academic staff specialising in nursing education, particularly in the areas of self-care and stoma therapy. The proposed content and structure of the PIPO-EI were considered representative of identified needs and applicable in clinical settings.
Additionally, five informational leaflets focused on stoma self-care were developed and evaluated. These were considered relevant and demonstrated potential as useful resources to support nurses’ interventions in promoting self-care among individuals with an intestinal elimination stoma in Portugal.
The results of this doctoral thesis contribute to the discipline of Nursing, with the potential to improve the quality and equity of care provided to individuals with a stoma, supporting care planning and serving as a practical resource for nurses
DigiTranScope: the governance of digitally-transformed society
No full textThis volume presents the key outcomes and research findings of the Digitranscope research project of the European Commission Joint Research Centre. The project set out to explore during the period 2017-2020 the challenges and opportunities that the digital transformation is posing to the governance of society. We focused our attention on the governance of data as a key aspect to understand and shape the governance of society. Data is a key resource in the digital economy, and control over the way it is generated, collected, aggregated, and value is extracted and distributed in society is crucial. We have explored the increasing awareness about the strategic importance of data and emerging governance models to distribute the value generated more equitably in society. These findings have contributed to the new policy orientation in Europe on technological and data sovereignty and the sharing of data for the public interest. The digital transformation, the rise of artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things offer also new opportunities for new forms of policy design, implementation, and assessment providing more personalised support to those who need it and being more participative throughout the policy cycle. The use of digital twins, gaming, simulation, and synthetic data are just at their beginning but promise to change radically the relationships among all the stakeholders in governance of our society
Tõrked Eesti venekeelse kirjanduse omaks tunnistamisel 1918–1940. Igor Severjanini juhtum
No full textThe article looks at the history of Estonian Russian-language literature in the young Republic of Estonia (1918–1940) and the life and work of the Russian-speaking poet Igor Severyanin (1887–1941) from the perspective of Estonian literature. In 1918, Severyanin, as a mature author, moved permanently from Russia to Estonia. Gradually, he developed a hybrid identity: he became fond of Estonia and wrote in Russian. However, his works have been omitted from the Estonian literary history.
The article sets out the following hypotheses:
1) Estonian Russian-language literature from 1918 to 1940 has not become part of Estonian literature of that period, as its acceptance is hindered by various cultural-historical barriers for literary researchers. The main barriers have been highlighted by means of source criticism.
2) Igor Severyanin’s life and work serve to situate him as a representative of Estonian literature. Terms such as integration and identity were not used in his day, but Severyanin’s personal and creative choices help to understand, retrospectively, that it was important for him to live in Estonia, write poetry inspired by local material, interact with Estonian-speaking colleagues, remain connected with Estonian public and cultural institutions. I have approached Severyanin’s case through the identity theory (the work of John Charles Turner and Homi Bhabha), as well as Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of the literary field.
Both hypotheses were confirmed in the article. However, the values of modern multicultural society dictate that the discussion of Estonian literary history should include the Russian-speaking authors of the interwar period. Currently, there are gaps in Estonian literary history regarding these authors. Filling these gaps would mean overcoming the cultural-historical barriers
Compositions of Igor Stravinsky for Violin
No full textThe topic of my thesis is life and work of Igor Stravinsky with norrow focus on compositions for violin. I give greater emphasis to compositions Concerto in D for Violin and Orchestra and the Italian suite with which I have personal experience. Igor Stravinsky composed most of the compositions in the 1930th in cooperation with the violinist Samuel Duskin. Only a few of them are completely original works. The author often used musical themes from his own previously composed ballets, such as the The Firebird, Petrushka, The Soldier's Tale, Pulcinella, or Fairy's Kiss.
Composer Igor Stravinsky is certainly a controversial figure. Though essentially a pragmatist, he was always directed more by instinct while creating music. I would like to present to not only violinists interesting circumstances of compositions, even though is still little available informations
