Full textAbstract:
Persistent pain in older adults is difficult to assess and therefore address consistently. The experience of pain is individual, and therefore a comprehensive way to assess pain is required. Roy’s adaptation model offers a systematic way of evaluating pain in the older adult. In this column, the author shares some statistics about persistent pain and a case study using Roy’s model as a system for assessment.

Introduction: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing pre-dialysis requires a good self-management to control low protein intake and maintain kidney function. Adaptation to the existing stimulus through coping and adjustment mechanisms is important to maintaining good kidney function. However, few studies applied nursing theory based to guide intervention in helping the adaptation of patient CKD with their condition. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Roy’s adaptation model towards physiological and psychological adaptation response among patients with CKD undergoing pre-dialysis.Methods: This study was conducted using a quasi-experiment to patients with CKD pre-dialysis, age over 18 years old. We modified Roy’s adaptation model for patients with CKD undergoing pre-dialysis.Results: A total of 70 subjects agreed to join the study, 38 subjects in intervention and 32 subjects in the control group. The mean of eGFR ranged from 26.3 to 26.6 mL/min/1.73 m2. We found that Roy’s adaptation model has significantly improved drinking behavior, reduce protein intake, blood creatinine, and psychosocial adaptation response after the intervention.Conclusion: These study findings suggested that Roy’s adaptation model is effective to help patients with CKD undergoing pre-dialysis improve their behavior and maintain kidneyfunction . Model dissemination, advocacy to related units, and application in nursing care in patients with chronic kidney disease pre-dialysis are necessary.

Management of the Patient´s Role Conflict Exploiting C. Roy Nursing Care Model Any change in health state of a man, who represents a holistic unit, is a stresful situation, to which he/she has to respond to accommodation changes. An irreversible change becomes a stigma for an individual. It changes or affects his actual way of life and often leads to changes in value scale of personality and may end in a role conflict. A nurse´s role becomes irreplaceable because she is the person who gives direction to nursing care, works with instigations, support them or suppress them. Ideal care should complete an idea of individual attitude to a patient to support and make the adaptation easy to his full-value and satisfied life. My diploma work is intented on using the C. Roy Nursing Care Model, on an adequate adaptation achievement of a client, on prevention of a role conflict. In the theoretic part we write about personality problems interaction and problems of setting during the role implementation influenced by irreversible changes. We studied the C. Roy model and its importace when it is used in a prevention of a role conflict with clients with irreversible changes. In the practical part we made up nursing documentation according to the C. Roy and asked nurses´ opinions because they worked with the documentation. Next we concentrated on nursing diagnoses evaluation of patients with irreversible changes in adaptation systems: self {--} concept, self confidence, role playing and interdependence. Then we concentrated on improving the quality of an adaptation level and clients´ satisfaction. The goals of the work: 1. Using the C. Roy Nursing Care Model for prevention of a role conflict in clients with irreversible changes- in a primary, secondary and tertiary role sphere. 2. To evaluate client´s roles before his affection. 3. To find out client´s adaptation level. We conducted a quasiexperiment and interview in the Regional Hospital Příbram and the Hořovice Hospital. We asked 10 clients. The goals of our work were achieved. We hope that our work may help to increase quality of nursing care given to clients with irreversible changes.

Full textAbstract:
The number of patients with diabetes mellitus has been increasing recently. The so-called diabetic leg and related amputation treatment belong to the complications of the disease. Amputation or removal of the end part of a limb obviously affects not only the physical aspect of a patient, but also the psychical, social and spiritual aspects. It is therefore vital that each nurse is able to choose from suitable techniques of communication with such patients and to provide them with sufficient support in the adaptation to a new life role. Callista Roy also dealt with this issue and developed a model named after her, which can be applied to patients adapting to a newly arisen situation, which amputation of a lower limb definitely is. Three goals were set in the thesis. The first one was to find out what kind of problems patients after amputation of a lower limb see in the individual adaptation modes according to C. Roy. Then we focused on the interventions applied by nurses to the support for the adaptation in the individual adaptation modes and to what extent nurses work with stimuli in Roy's conception. The research was based on the data collection by means of a qualitative method, the techniques of semi-structured interviews, and involved observation of patients after amputation of a lower limb and of nurses working at a standard surgery department. After the saturation of the research sample set the data was analysed and processed by means of the "pencil & paper" method. The research has shown that nurses devote particular attention to the physiologic adaptation mode and to the interdependence mode in their practice. In terms of the satisfaction of the basic physiologic needs they mostly mentioned the assistance in self-service activities, in the sphere of excretion and very often also interventions contributing to pain relief. In the self-concept group identity adaptation mode nurses mostly apply suitable communication and provision of sufficient information. In terms of the role function adaptation mode we can say that nurses search for this kind of information, but no activity supporting this mode was found among the nurses. Unlike nurses, who pay the highest attention to the satisfaction of the physiologic adaptation mode and thereto related interdependence mode, patients see shortcomings in all four adaptation modes. In the physiologic adaptation mode patients mostly pointed out problems with movement manifested themselves in the deficit of self-care. In the sphere of self-concept group identity, they mentioned the feeling of helplessness and inferiority. Nearly all patients see a problem in the dependence on the nursing staff and the disability to play the roles once played. Among the most frequent stimuli affecting a patient after lower limb amputation are pains that nurses relieve by means of analgesics prescribed by physicians, patients also often mention the approach of the staff and social interaction owing to the absence of family members. The research has shown that nurses approach patients with dignity and also respect the incoming visitors. The information obtained by this research can be used as a basis for seminars focused on this issue and lead to the improvement of the nursing care about patients with amputation of a lower limb.

Full textAbstract:
Song is a combination of elements, of which the outcome is not always stable. This chapter examines the nature of the bonds formed between poem and music by proposing a new ‘‘assemblage’’ model, which focuses on five key parameters: (a) metre/prosody; (b) form/structure; (c) sound properties/repetition; (d) semantics/word painting; (e) live performance options. This approach bridges methodological gaps exposed through an examination of existing models used in translation theory, adaptation theory, and word/music theory. The two stages in the assemblage model examine: (1) adhesion strength (how closely poem and music stick together); (2) accretion/dilution (how successful the song setting is). The phases of analysis factor in how song is a non-permanent form which goes through multiple iterations of repackaging, including different performances of the same song and different settings of the same poem.

AbstractThis chapter was aimed at evaluating the responses of livestock to fluctuations in climate and the debilitating effect of livestock production on the environment. Survey of livestock stakeholders (farmers, researchers, marketers, and traders) was carried out in Sahel, Sudan, Northern Guinea Savannah, Southern Guinea Savannah, and Derived Savannah zones of Nigeria. In total, 362 respondents were interviewed between April and June 2020. The distribution of the respondents was 22 in Sahel, 57 in Sudan, 61 in Northern Guinea Savannah, 80 in Southern Guinea Savannah, and 106 in Derived Savannah. The respondents were purposively interviewed based on their engagement in livestock production, research or trading activities. Thirty-eight years’ climate data from 1982 to 2019 were obtained from Nigerian Metrological Agency, Abuja. Ilela, Kiyawa, and Sabon Gari were chosen to represent Sahel, Sudan, and Northern Guinea Savannah zone of Nigeria, respectively. The data contained precipitation, relative humidity, and minimum and maximum temperature. The temperature humidity index (THI) was calculated using the formula: THI = 0.8*T + RH*(T-14.4) + 46.4, where T = ambient or dry-bulb temperature in °C and RH=relative humidity expressed as a proportion. Three Machine Learning model were built to predict the monthly minimum temperature, maximum temperature, and relative humidity respectively based on information from the previous 11 months. The methodology adopted is to treat each prediction task as a supervised learning problem. This involves transforming the time series data into a feature-target dataset using autoregressive (AR) technique. The major component of the activities of livestock that was known to cause injury to the environment as depicted in this chapter was the production of greenhouse gases. From the respondents in this chapter, some adaptive measures were stated as having controlling and mitigating effect at reducing the effect of activities of livestock on the climate and the environment. The environment and climate on the other side of the dual pathway is also known to induce stress on livestock. The concept of crop-livestock integration system is advocated in this chapter as beneficial to livestock and environment in the short and long run. Based on the predictive model developed for temperature and relative humidity in a sample location (Ilela) using Machine Learning in this chapter, there is need for development of a web or standalone application that will be useable by Nigerian farmers, meteorological agencies, and extension organizations as climate fluctuation early warning system. Development of this predictive model needs to be expanded and made functional.

AbstractIt is commonly accepted that the Earth’s climate is changing and will continue to change in the future. Rising temperatures are one of the direct indicators of global climate change. To investigate how the rising global temperature will affect the spatial pattern of rainfall in West Africa, the precipitation and potential evapotranspiration variables from ten Global Climate Models (GCMs) under the RCP8.5 scenario were driven by the Rossby Centre regional atmospheric model (RCA4) from the COordinated Regional Climate Downscaling EXperiment (CORDEX) and analyzed at four specific global warming levels (GWLs) (i.e., 1.5 °C, 2.0 °C, 2.5 °C, and 3.0 °C) above the preindustrial level. This study utilized three indices, the precipitation concentration index (PCI), the precipitation concentration degree (PCD), and the precipitation concentration period (PCP) over West Africa to explore the spatiotemporal variations in the characteristics of precipitation concentrations. Besides, the analysis of the effect of the specified GWLs on the Consecutive Dry Days (CDD), Consecutive Wet Days (CWD), and frequency of the intense rainfall events allowed to a better understanding of the spatial and temporal patterns of extreme precipitation in West Africa. Results reveal that, for the projections simulations and at each GWL, the rainfall onset starts one month earlier in the Gulf of Guinea in response to the control period. To encourage adaptation to the various changes in climate in general, and particularly in respect of rainfall, this study proposes several adaptation methods that can be implemented at the local (country) level, as well as some mitigation and adaptation strategies at the regional (West African) level.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe impacts of global warming on rainfall in West Africa were examined using a numerical framework for 5 monsoon years (2001, 2007, 2008, 2010, and 2011). Rainfall characteristics over the three climatic zones, Guinea coast, Savannah, and Sahel, were analyzed. The potential changes associated with global warming were assessed by the pseudo-global warming (PGW) downscaling method. Multiple PGW runs were conducted using climate perturbation from the 40-member ensemble of the Community Earth System Model version 1 (CESM1) coupled with Community Atmospheric Model version 5.2 (CAM5.2) component large ensemble project. The model output was compared with Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission and Global Precipitation Climatology Project rainfall alongside surface temperature from the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecast Reanalysis. Results show that the estimated rainfall amount from the future climate in the 2070s increases slightly compared with the current climate. The total rainfall amount simulated for the current climate is 16% and 63% less than that of the PGW runs and observations, respectively. Also found is an increase (decrease) in heavy (light and moderate) rainfall amount in the PGW runs. These results are, however, contingent on the global circulation model (GCM), which provides the boundary conditions of the regional climate model. CESM1.0-CAM5.2, the GCM employed in this study, tends to provide a greater surface temperature change of about 4 °C. This projected temperature change consequently caused the increase in the simulated precipitation in the PGW experiments, thus highlighting the advantage of using the PGW method to estimate the likely difference between the present and future climate with reduced large-scale model differences and computational resources. The findings of this study are, however, useful to inform decision-making in climate-related activities and guide the design of climate change adaptation projects for the West African region.

AbstractReversing land degradation and achieving ecosystem restoration and management are routes to climate change adaptation and mitigation. The financial resources to achieve this are increasingly available. A major challenge is the absence of scalable mechanisms that can incentivize rapid change for rural communities at the decade-long time scale needed to respond to the climate emergency. Despite moves toward inclusive green finance (IGF), a major structural gap remains between the funding available and the unbankable small-scale producers who are stewards of ecosystems. This paper reports on inclusive finance that can help fill this gap and incentivizes improved ecosystem stewardship, productivity, and wealth creation. A key feature is the concept of eco-credit to build ecosystem management and restorative behaviors into loan terms. Eco-credit provides an approach for overcoming income inequality within communities to enhance the community-level ecosystem governance and stewardship. The paper discusses the experience of implementing the Community Environment Conservation Fund (CECF) over a 8-year-period from 2012. The CECF addresses the unbankable 80% of community members who cannot access commercial loans, has c. 20,000 users in Uganda and pilots in Malawi, Kenya, and Tanzania. The model is contextualized alongside complementary mechanisms that can also incentivize improved ecosystem governance as well as engage and align communities, government, development partners, and the private sector. This complementary infrastructure includes commercial eco-credit as exemplified by the Climate Smart Lending Platform, and the community finance of the Village Savings and Loans Associations (VSLA) model upon which CECF builds. The paper describes the technologies and climate finance necessary for significant scale-up.

The newly adopted Paris Agreement which seeks to hold global average temperature increase to “well below 2°C” above pre-industrial levels inserts additional urgency into this agenda. To realize the commitments outlined in the agreement, implementation of innovative sustainable business models capable of producing strong mitigation and adaptation outcomes is required ‘on the ground' and needs to be available for subsequent diffusion across different countries, contexts and domains. This chapter explores the value of polycentric climate change governance through an investigation of sustainable business model innovation. An example of a sustainable business model, called the Sustainable Energy Utility (SEU), is evaluated and an assessment of United Nations-based programming to aid future diffusion of such business models is conducted.

Full textAbstract:
Electrochemical model-based estimation techniques have attracted increasing attention in the past decade due to their inherent insight about the internal battery operating conditions and limits while being able to monitor important li-ion battery states. The applicability of these methods is, however, limited due to the implementation complexity of their underlying models. In order to facilitate online implementation while maintaining the physical insight, a reduced-order electrochemical model is used in this work. This model, which is based on the commonly-used single particle model, is further improved by incorporating the electrolyte-phase potential. Furthermore, an output-injection observer, suitable for online implementation, is proposed to estimate SOC. The observer convergence is proved analytically using Lyapunov theory. Although the proposed observer shows great performance at low C rates, its accuracy deteriorates at high C-rates. To overcome this issue and achieve accurate SOC estimates for such charge/discharge rates, an adaptation algorithm is augmented to the observer. The adaptation algorithm, which can be implemented online, is used to compensate for model uncertainties, especially at higher C rates. Finally, simulation results based on a full-order electrochemical model are used to validate the observer performance and effectiveness.

Full textAbstract:
Innovative technologies significantly influence the employee's professional balance, at the level of its axes model: "I-I", "I-Profession" and "I-Environment". This relations relays on the divergent psychological structure of professional balance state, which is a representation of the social structure, the way of thinking and the organizational model, where employees play a central role. Where managers, teachers, doctors, nurses, workers, mayors and entrepreneurs have a strong sense of current reality. They can perceive how the workload and time pressure increase, without feeling that the professional finality is achieved. The research of the professional balance and the adaptation of the internal aspects to the external peculiarities of the career will alienate the alternatives of admitting an imbalance and will thus ensure a positive general state, therefore the innovative technologies are perceived both negatively and positively at work. These expressions are current not only on the axes of the professional balance state model, but also on the level of the circular model of career anchors, described by Voss (conservation, openness to change, self-transcendence and effectiveness. Thus, the impact of innovative technologies on professional balance state is no longer an enigma but a fact that can influence the well-being of the employee at work, stressed him or brings out to the brink of emotional burnout. In this article we come up with pros and cons of the impact of innovative technologies on the human psyche.

Full textAbstract:
This work deals with the characterization of ductile damage in Aluminum 6061-T6 alloy. In this paper we discuss the stress triaxiality effect on the initiation and the evolution of damage through a sequence of tensile tests conducted on round specimens with different rate of trixialities and tearing tests on precracked Compact Tension specimens. Scattering of ductility and toughness values was highlighted between the three characteristic directions studied in this topic. Based on the experimental results, numerical simulation has been performed in order to analyze and predict ductile fracture initiation of this aluminum alloy by simulating void growth according to the Rice-Tracey micromechanical model. The numerical simulation was conducted in two steps: first the critical void growth ratio (R / R0)c was evaluated for tensile cylindrical specimens with different degrees of triaxiality and then used to analyze crack growth initiation on Compact Tension specimen. Due to the Al-6061-T6 highly sensitivity to triaxiality, a necessary adaptation of the Rice-Tracey model’s coefficient was made.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents a model to measure and to explain knowledge and sustainable competitive advantages generation within the Efficient Consumer Response (ECR) framework. Some specific goals are: a) identification, selection and validation of intellectual capital and of sustainable competitive advantages, b) study of what we name associate concepts: facilitators, implantation drivers and critical success factors, c) develop a validation of a methodology for the measurement model and of the indicators adaptation degree, meeting the demand of related companies and consultants. Results show that individual improvement, work conditions, management style, learning improvement, education, management by objectives and work environment influence directly the human capital increase. Data mining techniques, generation of manuals of procedures and processes, and continuous improvement can be evidenced for a structural capital increase. Increase of relational capital is in direct relationship with the creation and improving of standard procedures for clients, their satisfaction, management by categories, and loyalty programs. To conclude, the implementation of ECR practices generates and increases the intellectual capital, or knowledge, in the organizations by positively promoting the generation of sustainable competitive advantages.

Full textAbstract:
The second of a two-part paper, this study focuses on the temperature field and surface heat transfer measurements on a large-scale models of an inclined row of film cooling holes. Detailed surface and flow field measurements were taken and presented in Part I. The model consists of three holes of 1.9-cm diameter that are spaced 3 hole diameters apart and inclined 30° from the surface. Additionally, another model with an anti-vortex adaptation to the film cooling holes is also tested. The coolant stream is metered and cooled to 20°C below the mainstream temperature. A thermocouple is used to obtain the flow temperatures along the jet centerline and at various streamwise locations. Steady state liquid crystal thermography is used to obtain surface heat transfer coefficients. Results are obtained for blowing ratios of up to 2 in order to capture off-design conditions in which the jet is lifted. Film cooling effectiveness values of 0.4 and 0.15 were found along the centerline for blowing ratios of 1 and 2 respectively. In addition, an anti-vortex design was tested and found to have improved film effectiveness. This paper presents the detailed temperature contours showing the extent of mixing between the coolant and freestream and the local heat transfer results.

Full textAbstract:
Distribution of thermal and mass flow rate parameters of coolant in the cross-section of 7-rod bundle consisting of the tubes of 6.0-mm outside diameter and 1.0-m heated length for two types of discretization of its cross-section into characteristic cells is experimentally investigated by the method of isokinetic sampling. The range of operation parameters corresponds to the conditions of LOCA accompanied by pressure and flow rate decrease relative to the nominal ones and is as follows: bundle-averaged outlet vapor content varies from −0.6 to 0.2, outlet pressure is 6 and 10 MPa, bundle-averaged mass velocity varies from 300 to 1500 kg/(m2s), inlet temperature varies from deep subcooling to (ts − 20) °C, and heat flux rate reaches 1.0 kJ/kg. It is confirmed by the experiment that the surface in the gap between the peripheral rods is most probable place of burnout in the bundle. Physical model of two-phase flow in the bundle that considers it as the equivalent annular channel with an eccentricity is proposed. The programs of thermal-hydraulic computation of fuel assembly and their adaptation to the experimental data for the two types of discretization into characteristic cells are performed and comparative assessment of them is made. The data resulted from the study concerning one-phase coolant could be applicable for a reference estimation of heat transfer in future designs of the fuel bundles.

Full textAbstract:
This paper discusses adaptive identification and control (AID&C) techniques to enable automated online identification and control of SMRs. Adaptive system ID allows engineers to rapidly measure system dynamics, calibrate sensors channels, determine loop processes, and quantify actuator authority for the various reactor control loops. Adaptive control can automatically tune these loops and adjust plant processes to optimize conditions for peak performance and power production. Another advantage of the adaptive ID and control approach is that these tools can be used during reactor operation to monitor active and passive components. Adaptive system ID techniques are used to measure loop-transfer characteristics. Presented is a practical approach that uses adaptive model-matching tools to identify the coprime factors of the local loops. This has the advantage over model based approaches since coprime factors can be identified on the real system using real data. Adaptive control enables auto-tuning of controller parameters to meet operational specifications. Using the coprime factors, all controllers that stabilize the plant can be parametrized by a free Q-parameter that can be changed to meet control system objectives and improve performance, and the tuning is performed using adaptive techniques. The controller architecture presented provides several desirable and necessary features: e.g., a default fail-safe mode of operation, stability in the presence of communications failures, guaranteed stability, and robustness. An advantage of the adaptive structure presented here is that control system stability can be guaranteed, even during adaptation by ensuring certain norm conditions on the Q-parameter and estimated plant uncertainty. More importantly, the Q-parameter can be monitored during operation, providing a real-time estimate of the changes in the plant resulting from changes in the reactor itself. This signal monitors the dynamics of each loop, providing information about the reactor from the perspective of the control process. Online monitoring using AID&C can be used to better track control system transients that result in reactor trip, thus avoiding undesirable reactor trips and diversion events. And, there is a potential that the system can better adapt to changing operating conditions during plant transients including load following procedures.
