Admission. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease caused by a disturbance in insulin secretion. Diet is a very important element in the treatment of diabetes. It is a prerequisite for maintaining the proper concentration of glucose and fats (lipids) in the blood and optimal blood pressure. A well-chosen diet reduces the risk of diabetes complications and reduces the risk of vascular diseases. An appropriate nutrition model also plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of chronic diabetes complications (microangiopathy, retinopathy and diabetic nephropathy). Aim. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of eating habits on patients with type 2 diabetes. Material and methods. The paper uses the method of a diagnostic survey. The research techniques that were used for the purposes of the research process were: surveying and estimation scale technique. The tool that was used in the study was the proprietary questionnaire of the self-survey. Results. The research results show that the patients have good and bad eating habits. Positive behaviors relate to the number of meals and the way of cook-ing. Most women indicated that they eat 4-5 meals a day – 39,0%. The negative ones include snacking between meals (most women indicated that they some-times eat between meals – 58,0%, the least that not – 8,0%), high consumption of sweets (most women indicated that they eat sweets several times a day – 23,0%, the least indicated that 3-4 times a week – 13,0%), and lower frequency of selecting fish compared to healthy women. Conclusions. It turns out that the level of knowledge about positive eating hab-its is average. Therefore, the aim of preventive actions is to make the public aware of the importance of a proper diet, the number of meals taken and the way of their preparation.

Abstract In any research study, there is an underlying research process that should begin with a clear articulation of the study’s goal. The study’s goal drives this process; it determines many study features including the estimand of interest, the analytic approaches that can be used to estimate it, and which coefficients, if any, should be interpreted. “Misalignment” can occur in this process when analytic approaches and/or interpretations do not match the study’s goal; misalignment is potentially more likely to arise when study goals are ambiguously framed. This study documented misalignment in the observational epidemiologic literature and explored how the framing of study goals contributes to its occurrence. The following misalignments were examined: 1) use of an inappropriate variable selection approach for the goal (a “goal-methods” misalignment) and 2) interpretation of coefficients of variables for which causal considerations were not made (e.g., Table 2 Fallacy, a “goal-interpretation” misalignment). A random sample of 100 articles published 2014-2018 in the top 5 general epidemiology journals were reviewed. Most reviewed studies were causal, with either explicitly stated (13/103, 13%) or associationally-framed (71/103, 69%) aims. Full alignment of goal-methods-interpretations was infrequent (9/103, 9%), although clearly causal studies (5/13, 38%) were more often fully aligned than seemingly causal ones (3/71, 4%). Goal-methods misalignments were common (34/103, 33%), but most frequently, methods were insufficiently reported to draw conclusions (47/103, 46%). Goal-interpretations misalignments occurred in 31% (32/103) of studies and occurred less often when the methods were aligned (2/103, 2%) compared with when the methods were misaligned (13/103, 13%).

The Impact

PurposeIn most higher education institutions, information literacy (IL) instruction is usually considered the purview of librarians, not disciplinary faculty. However, a small but growing body of research indicates that students learn the research process best when these skills are taught in the context of a course or a discipline. For this reason, teaching faculty should share ownership of IL instruction — but how? In this case study, community college librarians explain how they successfully trained faculty to integrate IL into their English Composition courses and teach IL independently.Design/methodology/approachUsing a multimethods approach, the investigators draw on faculty interviews, student surveys, and content analysis of student essays to evaluate the impact of faculty-led IL instruction on student learning after one semester.FindingsFaculty reported that their instruction of IL was improved, and students work better as a result of their collaboration with the librarians. Compared to previous semesters, faculty perceived gains in terms of students’ ability to synthesize and cite evidence in their writing. Student survey results indicate perceived gains in their IL skills, but an assessment of their written work reveals a discrepancy between this perception and the actual application of these skills.Research limitations/implicationsBecause there is no control group, no conclusions can be drawn as to whether faculty-led IL instruction is as effective as librarian-led IL instruction or whether students’ academic performance improves due to faculty teaching IL. However, the purpose of this study is primarily descriptive. It addresses how other libraries may create a culture of shared ownership of IL instruction on their campuses.Practical implicationsThis study offers an alternative model to library instruction and suggests ways instruction librarians can prioritize their outreach and instructional efforts to maximize impact on student learning.Originality/valueWhile much has been written about how librarians can improve IL instruction, few studies mention the role of faculty. This case study starts the conversation.

Reflection offers the practitioner the opportunity to access and learn through experience. It taps personal knowing and reveals the intuitive basis for practice. Reflection can also be a research process of self-inquiry and transformation whereby reflective accounts are carefully interpreted as hermeneutic text and written as a reflexive narrative. Narrative is always left open for further interpretation in light of the reader’s own practice perspectives. This paper presents a particular experience taken from a 2-year narrative, illuminating the craft of reflective writing and narrative construction. The text reveals the way I use concepts in taken-for-granted ways, and make assumptions in efforts to make sense of the world. Finally, the emancipatory intent of narrative is considered.

Survey Results

This paper finds out the citation management and the needs of students of Department of Libary and Information Science, University of Delhi, and how online citation tools fit into their academic and research process. The results indicate that all the respondents are aware of online citation tools and using them occasionally. EasyBib was the popular online citation tool among respondents. The survey results show that most of the respondents learned the online citation tools through department’s website. The main purpose of using online citation tools was for their academic/research work. Most of the respondents were accessing online citation tools from the Delhi University Computer Centre. They had not received any formal training for creating online citations. Simplified and easy bibliography and automatic creation of references list are two major benefits of online citation tools. The most obvious impediment is that they have never used the online tools before. Meagre respondents wanted training in using online citation tools for creating efficient references. The findings of the study will not only help the Library and Information Science students about knowing what a citation is and understanding the concepts of citation styles and formatting, but also help citation-related competencies and skills in recognising citations and understanding their functions in research.

There is much written on research methodologies and the merits of each within academic texts.  Researchers provide written accounts of their methodologies, their results locating these in literature previously reviewed.  New ideas, models and frameworks of knowing develop from the discussion of the findings than contribute greatly to knowledge within a given discipline.  What is seldom captured is the actual process of engaging in research, the ups and downs of the journey, whose voices are captured and for what reason and the relational and ethical dilemmas along the way that need to be negotiated.  This article aims to give voice to my experiences of a research process with social care students as I attempted to develop a new model of relational reflexivity within their education and practice preparation.   I discuss some of my experiences as a practitioner researcher as they relate to the research aims, design and method of inquiry.  I offer my perspective as a way of challenging the clean-cut process often portrayed, where the researcher objectively and seamlessly goes through the various stages of the research process, before arriving at their conclusions in a tidy and comprehensive fashion

The way the modern-day senior citizens dress may be determined by their functioning in a “youthing” society, together with the legacy of the Polish People’s Republic and the dress codes prevailing at that time. This article provides an analysis of the abovementioned issue in a gender context, as the described age-ordering of clothes in this text concerns women and men differently. The analysis was based on a diagnostic survey, conducted among people over sixty years old, who gave their opinions on their own and their peers’ dress sense. The responses given suggest that the trends characteristic for a “youthing” society contribute to rejuvenating the way Polish senior citizens dress. According to them, the elderly dress fashionably, tastefully and colorfully – which was stated more often by the women than the men. The survey results also confirm that the dress codes relevant to PPR times are deeply rooted in the seniors’ minds. This was reflected more often in men’s opinions than in women’s. The preliminary results presented in this article indicate that the way elderly people in Poland dress is beginning to be reshaped. The results require greater depth, and this could be facilitated through the use of qualitative techniques that might complement the collected material.

This paper presents findings from a study carried out between May and October 2013. Based on a survey, which was developed by the MoGaBa VET project partners, the study aimed at understanding the factors that influence the way vocational instructors perceive and use game-based learning. A total of 267 trainers from eight European countries took part in the survey. Results indicated that even though educational games were regarded effective and useful with regard to motivational aspects or learning to use ICT; however, it also revealed that the integration and widespread use of mobile GBL solutions faced several challenges linked to technical, institutional and also organizational aspects.
