La rutina impuesta a los médicos es reconocer y perseguir múltiples objetivos, que pueden ser complementarios o excluyentes. Curar la enfermedad, cuidar de la insuficiencia orgánica, restablecer la función, compensar la pérdida, aliviar los sufrimientos; confortar pacientes y familiares, y acompañar, activa y serenamente, los últimos momentos de la vida del paciente no es tarea fácil y libre de frustraciones, pues los obliga a considerar, caso por caso, el justo equilíbrio en la toma de decisiones, evitando la obstinación terpeútica en el final de la vida, reconociendo la finitud humana y las limitaciones de la ciencia médica sin dejar de proporcionar todos los beneficios ofrecidos por los avances del conocimiento científico. Aspecto no menos importante es la valoración de las creencias del enfermo, pues la búsqueda de un sentido trascendente de la existencia ocupa un lugar sustancial en la historia de vida de las personas. El presente artículo ofrece reflexiones para orientar la búsqueda prudente del adecuado equilibrio en el uso de las modernas tecnologías biomédicas en el tratamiento de pacientes con enfermedades crónico–degenerativas en fase terminal. Además, es imperativo que los médicos sean receptivos y respetuosos de las creencias y valores personales de sus pacientes, y que el arduo ejercicio de la profesión no sea más costoso si se adopta el peligroso camino de la medicina defensiva.

Hypothesis / aims of study Nocturia affects the quality of life (QOL) of patients. Recent advances in the studies on nocturia and sleep disorder have shown that the occurrence of nocturnal awakening and the time to the first nocturnal awakening play important roles in the QOL of the patient [1]. However, to date, no such study has been performed in patients receiving clean intermittent catheterization (CIC). The objectives of this study were to elucidate the correlation between CIC and QOL and to determine the extent of the effect of nocturnal catheterization on the state of sleep in patients with CIC.

Communication has a great impact for organizational development, especially those, struggling to fit in global and competitive markets. Internal communication is a strategic area for organizational competitiveness, by applying to the internal publics a global organizational communication strategy. Among several factors, the cohesion, the identification, or the employees’ motivation are some of the most important factors affecting productivity in organizations. To understand how internal communication can have an important role in developing these factors, is thus, a relevant purpose to attend. The scope of this study is to produce several considerations about the importance of internal communication for organizations in competitive markets, and notably, to explore its association with relevant organizational behaviour indicators, such as employee motivation. In order to fulfill this purpose, a first line of considerations will be made concerning the purpose of internal communication, based on existing theoretical models regarding both internal communication and motivation. A second line of considerations, follows the need to demonstrate and understand how internal communication and employee motivation can work together.

English language teaching departments have been regarded as neutral and prestigious for more than a century. However, the colonial, neocolonial, postcolonial and neoliberal practices of these departments are forgotten. In this study, we aim to deconstruct this ideology and develop a critical perspective within the framework of critical pedagogy and critical discourse analysis. Both of these two approaches aim to analyze power, power relations, forms of knowledge and subjective experiences. This study is based on collaborative autoethnography that prioritizes researchers` beliefs, experiences, observations and stories. We asked 10 guiding questions that showed how we came to reject our current identity in ELT discipline that produced various forms of knowledge that constitute certain discursive practices. We aimed to show that ELT departments in Turkey are a continuation of this colonial and neoliberal mind

The concepts of “base”, “canonical pattern” and “weight” have attracted the interest of orientalists, as components organizing Arabic morphology . They claimed that the concept of “base” covers the concept of “root”, which seemed to apply smoothly to Semitic languages, since it can be used to organize sounds in the lexicon, in terms of meanings and sound sequences. Though it shows an abstract character, this concept aspect. Hence its abstractness does not discard its linguistic reality. It constitutes component serving as part and parcel of the language system. As such, it does not refer to a historical (diachronic) process; that is the proto-root from which words have been do not share the same root. On the other hand, the concept of “root” is differentiated from the concept of “canonical pattern”. While the root represents the words sharing consonants, the canonical pattern represents the words sharing the form, structure as well as similarity in meaning and grammatical use. The canonical pattern, like the root, serves as an indicator in terms of its composition, since there is the form of aspect and the general meaning or shared grammatical value. Hence, there are two patterns: root pattern and aspect pattern, interrelated to organize the entire set of lexical items.

2. Education We participate in “Cell Biology II (Function of Cells)” (lectures, 1st grade), “Neuroscience” (systematic lectures, 2nd and 3rd grades) and “Physiology Lab” (3rd grade) courses for medical students as well as in courses for graduate students. We mainly teach neurophysiology parts in these courses. The goal of our education is for students to understand normal function of nerve cells and the nervous system and, on this ground, to understand pathological states of the nervous system in diseases. For this purpose, we give clinically-oriented lectures and laboratory courses linked with morphology and pharmacology. They cover transport and potential of the cell membrane (Cell Biology), excitation and synaptic transmission, sensory systems, motor systems, autonomic nervous systems, and higher brain function (Neuroscience), i.e. neurophysiology in general from cellular through organismic levels. To support for students to learn for themselves basic matters such as generation and propagation of excitation in nerve cells, we developed a hand-made computer simulation program for a part of the laboratory course.

Programming is a difficult subject to learn and teach. When it comes to students learning basic programming information and skills, university-level introductory programming courses (Java, C++, Visual Basic, and Python) are critical. Students' achievement is negatively impacted by a negative attitude about programming. As a result, the study discovered the impact of students' perceptions in university computer programming courses. The study covered students studying Computer Science from the University of Ghana. A survey descriptive design with a quantitative technique was used in this investigation. The population of the study was 2,030 with 368 sample size. Purposive sampling was utilized to choose University of Ghana, Legon as the study's location. The study's participants were chosen using a stratified random sampling technique. Closed-ended questionnaire was used for data collection. The SPSS version 26 and PROCESS Macro were used to analyze the data. Respondents’ data were examined applying both inferential and descriptive statistics. The study revealed that students see programming as unfamiliar was the highest perception of programming to students. The study found that students see programming as easy with dedication was the lowest perception of programming to students. In conclusion, the significant impact of perception of students in Computer Programming account for 84% of the contribution of factors that influence self-efficacy.
编程是一门很难学习和教授的学科。当学生学习基本的编程信息和技能时,大学水平的编程入门课程(Java、c++、Visual basic和Python)是至关重要的。消极的编程态度会对学生的学习成绩产生负面影响。因此,该研究发现了学生对大学计算机编程课程的认知的影响。该研究涵盖了加纳大学计算机科学专业的学生。在本调查中采用了定量技术的调查描述性设计。研究对象为2030人,样本量为368人。采用有目的抽样方法,选择加纳大学莱贡分校作为研究地点。该研究的参与者是通过分层随机抽样技术选择的。数据收集采用封闭式问卷。采用SPSS version 26和PROCESS Macro对数据进行分析。调查对象的数据采用推理和描述性统计进行检验。研究发现,学生对编程的最高感知是“不熟悉”。研究发现,学生认为编程很容易,投入是学生对编程的最低认知。综上所述,学生对计算机编程认知的显著影响占影响自我效能感因素贡献的84%。
