A comparative analysis of tools dedicated to project management

This article presents a comparative analysis of selected tools dedicated to project management: Asana, Trello, Wrike, Monday.com and Bitrix24. The aim of the work is to answer the research question: which project management tool is the most appropriate for members of development teams using classic and agile methodologies. Popular methods for analyzing the quality of interfaces have been reviewed. The research was carried out using the survey method conducted among users using project management tools and cognitive walkthrough - a method used to assess the usability of application and website interfaces

Alpha Cluster Model of Atomic Nuclei

Description of a nuclear system in its ground state and at low excitations based on the equation of state (EoS) around normal density is presented. In the expansion of the EoS around the saturation point additional spin polarization terms are taken into account. These terms, together with the standard symmetry term, are responsible for appearance of the $\alpha$-like clusters in the ground state configurations of the N=Z even-even nuclei. At the nuclear surface these clusters can be identified as alpha particles. A correction for the surface effects is introduced for atomic nuclei. Taking into account an additional interaction between clusters the binding energies and sizes of the considered nuclei are very accurately described. The limits of the EoS parameters are established from the properties of the $\alpha$, $^{3}$He and $t$ particles.Comment: 27 pages, 10 figure

Depression - an interdisciplinary problem of modern nursing. Case study

Introduction. Depression has become a civilization illness in recent years. Epidemiological data show an upward trend in the incidence of this illness, being often of unknown causality. Treatment of depression is multi-faceted, focused on minimizing the symptoms of the illness and psychological support. The nurse as a member of a therapeutic team is required to perform specific professional roles, i.e. therapeutic, remedial, educational, preventive and that of health promotion. Aim of the study. The aim of the study was to define the nurse's tasks regarding a patient with depression. Materials and methodology. The study was based on the case study method. An interview, nursing observation, measurement and documentation analysis were used as study techniques, and the study tools applied comprised: patient data collection guide, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Scale of Acceptance of Illness (AIS), The Nurses' Global Assessment of Suicide Risk (NGASR), MSE (Mental Status Examination) test, Body Evaluation Esteem Scale (BES). Findings. During the research process, 11 NANDA nursing diagnoses were determined regarding the patient's health problems. Due to the specificity and the course of the illness, the nursing plan, based on NIC, focuses more on the patient's mental state than on the aspects of somatic origin. Conclusions. The physical, social and mental condition of the patient with depression depends on the severity of the illness. Nursing problems result from the found clinical symptoms of the illness. The use of NNN (NANDA, NIC, NOC) allows the use of nursing interventions based on scientific evidence

Human Minds and Animal Stories

The power of stories to raise our concern for animals has been postulated throughout history by countless scholars, activists, and writers, including such greats as Thomas Hardy and Leo Tolstoy. This is the first book to investigate that power and explain the psychological and cultural mechanisms behind it. It does so by presenting the results of an experimental project that involved thousands of participants, texts representing various genres and national literatures, and the cooperation of an internationally-acclaimed bestselling author. Combining psychological research with insights from animal studies, ecocriticism and other fields in the environmental humanities, the book not only provides evidence that animal stories can make us care for other species, but also shows that their effects are more complex and fascinating than we have ever thought. In this way, the book makes a groundbreaking contribution to the study of relations between literature and the nonhuman world as well as to the study of how literature changes our minds and society. "As witnessed by novels like Black Beauty and Uncle Tom’s Cabin, a good story can move public opinion on contentious social issues. In Human Minds and Animal Stories a team of specialists in psychology, biology, and literature tells how they discovered the power of narratives to shift our views about the treatment of other species. Beautifully written and based on dozens of experiments with thousands of subjects, this book will appeal to animal advocates, researchers, and general readers looking for a compelling real-life detective story." - Hal Herzog, author of Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat : Why It’s So Hard To Think Straight About Animal

Prehabilitation and nutritional interventions - an interdisciplinary perspective

Introduction: Nutrition is defined as the acquisition of exogenous nutrients. It is a basic need of a living organism. Malnutrition has become a problem for hospitalized patients, especially in the surgical ward. The condition leads to the deterioration of the patient's clinical performance and quality of life. Ongoing nursing interventions, particularly the use of parenteral or enteral nutrition, can reduce the risk of complications resulting from the inadequate nutrient supply.  Aim of the study: The purpose of this study is to analyze nutritional problems in the practice of a surgical nurse.  Material and method: A non-systematic review of the available literature on nutritional problems published in the last seven years (2015 - 2022) was conducted. Databases such as Google Scholar and PubMed were searched, using the following keywords: nutritional problems, malnutrition, nutritional treatment, surgical nursing, and hospital malnutrition.  Sixteen original and review papers were eligible for analysis. The criteria for qualifying articles for review were title, abstract content, keywords, and topics related to nutrition problems in the context of nursing practice.  Results and conclusions: Malnutrition is a serious problem in clinical practice.  Standardized scales NRS 2002, MUST, and MNA are used to correctly diagnose this problem. The nurse's role in caring for a patient with a nutritional deficit is to monitor the patient's condition, take anthropometric measurements and collect materials for diagnostic tests. This allows the correct selection of nutritional treatment individually for the patient.
