The peripheral intravenous (PIV) catheter is the most used vascular
access device for administration of medications in hospitalized neonates. To
evaluate the impact of an educational program for nurses on assessment,
management, and prevention of peripheral intravenous complication in neonatal
intensive care unit. A quasi-experimental research design was used in the current
study. The study sample consisted of a convenience sample including all available
nurses (88) at University Hospital, General Hospital and Health Insurance Hospital
at Beni-Suef. Two self-administered tools for nurses; part I, socio-demographic data
for nurses, part II, nurses’ knowledge regarding IV fluid and part III, nurses`
knowledge regarding IV complications and neonate's needs of management and
observational checklist for nursing practice about IV infiltration or extravasation in
neonates. The findings revealed that there was a highly significant difference in the
pre and post-intervention program and their knowledge and practice, the study stated
that there was an improvement in their knowledge and practice towards prevention
and management IV complications. Educational intervention had a significant role in
increasing knowledge and practice of universal precautions among nurses. It is
recommended to exert more efforts in developing and applying similar educational
endeavors for nurses in NICUs these educational initiatives need to be boosted
periodically to ensure sustainability of their positive effects on knowledge and
practice

GV Black proposed a classification for recording caries which served the
purpose efficiently for almost 100 years. Owing to its inbuilt shortcomings and current
knowledge on cariology and induction of modern technology and restorative materials,
Black‘s philosophy has been rendered despondently ineffective. Though various more
comprehensive classifications and caries management systems have been evolved but
Black‘s classification remains popular tool for recording of caries worldwide. The
similar situation is found among dental professionals in Pakistan. This study was
planned with the objective to know the reason for not using other classification systems
and awareness about the existence of newer systems among Operative Dentistry /
cariology specialists or teachers. A content validated close-ended questionnaire was
used as a tool for this survey based study. The questionnaire based on two-point Likert
scale with options of ―Yes ―and ‗No‖ comprising of ten simple queries regarding
Black‘s caries classification was sent personally to all those who showed willingness to
participate in the study and was recollected within 15 days. 85% of the participant
agreed that Black‘s classification focuses on treating dental cavities and not the carious
process itself and 95% were aware of existence of more conservative modes of caries
classification. Majority confirmed that Black‘s classification isn‘t compatible with
minimal interventional approach to dental treatment. Even then, this is the chief
classification that is followed in dental schools in Pakistan. Black‘s classification isn‘t
well-suited for existing philosophy for caries management and dental profession should
switch over to already existing more compatible classification.

The fundamentalists often perceive that Islam and its principles are a
hindrance to innovation. Relevant, extensive research proved otherwise. For example,
a comparison of research on innovation in the Islamic and non-Islamic perspective was
made, which verified that Islam does promote innovation. As this is a content analysis
paper, it is important to acknowledge that there are five types of innovation in Islamic
banking. They are Islamic financial product innovation, Islamic bank process
innovation, Islamic bank marketing innovation, innovation and risk management in
Islamic finance, and Islamic work value and innovation. After comparing with
research on innovation in the non-Islamic perspective, it was found that there is still a
lack of protection for the innovation and the Islamic perspective also lack measures for
the innovation.

10.21276/sjhss.2018.3.5.4
The Scarlet Letter has aroused people‟s attention since its publication. The
analysis of the protagonist, Hester Prynne in the novel, has always been a heated topic
at home and abroad. Scholars have interpreted Hester Prynne from many perspectives
like Archetypal Criticism, Modernism or Feminism, especially eco-feminism.
Therefore, this article tries to extend the previous‟ studies in terms of Androgyny.
Based on the theory of Androgyny, this article aims to analyze both the femininity and
masculinity of Hester Prynne, which is to reveal the deconstruction of binary opposition
in the traditional viewpoint of sexuality. Hester Prynne's femininity can be interpreted
from her feminine charm and maternity, while her masculinity can be analyzed from
rebellious spirit and survivability. Besides, this article explores the influence of Hester's
androgynous characteristics on herself, Dimmesdale, Chillingworth and other people
around her, which is to embody Hester's self-growth. As a result of her innermost
androgyny, Hester grows from an unworldly young woman to a strong-willed,
independent and mature woman.

Recent economic developments are more dependent on the value created by
intangible assets than tangible company's assets. Intangible assets in question are
intellectual capital that is recognized as the basis of individual, organizational, and
general competition in the 21st century. The rapid global economy and technological
innovations that have led to tough competition in the business world make IC creation,
management, measurement, and evaluation an important indicator in improving
company performance that will affect the value of the company in the future. This study
aims to determine the strong influence of intellectual capital on company performance,
and how the influence of human capital on structural capital and relation capital by
distributing questionnaires to 100 employees of banking companies in Jakarta for
middle and upper positions. Approaching method used is Partial Least Square (PLS).
Based on research that has been conducted, it can be concluded that human capital has
influence on relation capital and structural capital. Similarly, human capital and relation
capital has a significant influence on company performance, but structural capital
doesn’t have significant effect on company performance.
