Prevalence of Chronic Diseases Among Elementary School Students in Şanlıurfa, Turkey

Introduction:Chronic diseases, one of the main reasons for morbidity and mortality in all ages, are becoming a significant health problem all over the world in recent times. The population of children with chronic diseases is increasing day by day. While chronic illnesses make life difficult for school-age children, they have a detrimental impact on academic progress. Therefore, studies on this topic are required to improve their quality of life and reduce chronic disease morbidity and mortality rates. This study determines the prevalence of chronic diseases and children’s health conditions in elementary school students aged 5 to 12 years.Methods:This research was designed as a descriptive and cross-sectional study. Between September 2018 and June 2019, 158,445 students in 45 elementary schools in central Şanlıurfa was screened for chronic diseases. The sample was composed of 125 students diagnosed with chronic disease by a doctor.Results:The prevalence of chronic diseases was determined as 78.89 for every 100,000 students [95% confidence interval (CI), 66.1- 94.0]. Asthma (29.6%), epilepsy (14.4%), and hypertension (10.4%) were found as the three most prevalent diseases, and for every 100,000 students, their prevalence was determined as 23.35 (95% CI: 17.0-32.2), 11.36 (95% CI: 7.0-18.3), and 8.2 (95% CI: 5.0-14.0), respectively.Conclusion:To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study examining the prevalence of chronic diseases and health conditions in the elementary school population. According to the results, the prevalence of chronic diseases was found to be very high among elementary school students and students’ health was not at the desired and expected level. Taking into account the results of this study, the employment of school nurses seems a necessity, especially in order to increase students’ life quality and school success

The Nursing Care And Education Plan For A Child With Epidermolysis Bullosa (A Case Report)

EB is a chronic disease, some types of which may have morbidity and mortality. That is why the patients must receive multidisciplinary care in case any complications arise. Families must be informed about the disease, about home care and receive genetic counselling. The importance of genetic counselling cannot be stressed enough, since both M.C. and his younger brother were diagnosed with EB. If the family had received genetic counselling, this tragic situation could have been prevented. Home care education for the families of EB patients is also of great importance. Relatives of the patient must also be educated about wound care, infection control, patient nutrition and physical treatment. They must also be educated about how to use the medications and about bandaging, dressing, Vaseline bandages, antiseptics, bathing procedures, and the use of antibiotic cream ointment. It was obvious, therefore, that the nursing care given at home enhanced both the patient’s and the family’s quality of life

Investigation of the effects of earthquake characteristics on slope stability using model slope

Bu çalışmada, geoteknik mühendisliğinin başlıca konuları arasında yer alan güvenli şevlerin tasarımı konusu incelenmiştir. Güvenli şevlerin tasarımı için dikkat edilmesi gereken statik yükler kadar önemli bir diğer etken ise, sismik yüklerdir. Sismik yükler altında şev davranışının irdelenmesi niyetiyle tasarlanmış olan model şeve farklı özellikteki depremler etki ettirilerek sonlu eleman yazılımı ile bir dizi şev stabilite analizleri yapılmıştır. Bu kapsamda tasarlanan model şev, farklı özelliklerdeki senaryolar ile çeşitli bölgelerde meydana gelmiş, çok sayıda istasyon ölçümleri bulunan 12 adet gerçek deprem kayıt verisi ile analiz edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, bu depremlerin tasarlanmış olan model şevin stabilitesine olan etkileri ortaya koyulmuş ve elde edilen veriler doğrultusunda şev tasarımında daha güvenli ve daha ekonomik sonuçlar alınması için dikkat edilmesi gereken hususlara değinilmiştir.In this study, the design of safe slopes was investigated, which is one of the main topics in geotechnical engineering. Another factor that should be considered in the design of safe slopes is seismic loads in addition to static loads. As part of the study, a series of slope stability analyzes were performed using finite element software by applying earthquakes with different characteristics to the model slope, which was designed with the intention of investigating slope behavior under seismic loads. The model slope designed in this context was analyzed with 12 real earthquake record data that occurred in different regions with different scenarios and had many station measurements. As a result, the effects of these earthquakes on the stability of the designed model slope were pointed out and the points that should be considered to obtain safer and more economical results in slope design in the direction of the obtained data

Towards advancing scientific knowledge of climate change impacts on short-duration rainfall extremes

A large number of recent studies have aimed at understanding short-duration rainfall extremes, due to their impacts on flash floods, landslides and debris flows and potential for these to worsen with global warming. This has been led in a concerted international effort by the INTENSE Crosscutting Project of the GEWEX (Global Energy and Water Exchanges) Hydroclimatology Panel. Here, we summarize the main findings so far and suggest future directions for research, including: the benefits of convection-permitting climate modelling; towards understanding mechanisms of change; the usefulness of temperature-scaling relations; towards detecting and attributing extreme rainfall change; and the need for international coordination and collaboration. Evidence suggests that the intensity of long-duration (1 day+) heavy precipitation increases with climate warming close to the Clausius–Clapeyron (CC) rate (6–7% K−1), although large-scale circulation changes affect this response regionally. However, rare events can scale at higher rates, and localized heavy short-duration (hourly and sub-hourly) intensities can respond more strongly (e.g. 2 × CC instead of CC). Day-to-day scaling of short-duration intensities supports a higher scaling, with mechanisms proposed for this related to local-scale dynamics of convective storms, but its relevance to climate change is not clear. Uncertainty in changes to precipitation extremes remains and is influenced by many factors, including large-scale circulation, convective storm dynamics andstratification. Despite this, recent research has increased confidence in both the detectability and understanding of changes in various aspects of intense short-duration rainfall. To make further progress, the international coordination of datasets, model experiments and evaluations will be required, with consistent and standardized comparison methods and metrics, and recommendations are made for these frameworks
