Psychometric assessments used as screening tools for complex post-traumatic stress disorder: a scoping review.
Authors:   , Striglia Nina Ann
Published: February 2024

Introduction: The International Classification of Diseases version 11 (ICD-11) saw the inclusion of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and a newly conceptualized addition of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) as an independent diagnosis. Recent literature supports the inclusion and distinction of CPTSD. However, with the development of new psychological constructs, contemporary psychometric instruments are required to assess such novel constructs. This study aims to synthesise and map studies that examine various psychometric instruments used as screening tools for CPTSD. Methods and Analysis: A scoping review was conducted to “scope” the breadth of the available literature within this research topic. This was achieved by providing an overview and map of available literature published on various online databases. The data underwent intensive screening processes using the PRISMA-ScR flow diagram in accordance with the chosen inclusion and exclusion criteria. Identified databases were searched, and a total of 15 studies were eligible for final review. Results and Discussion: The data yielded from the searches were charted in table format and summarised by: Author(s) and Year and Validation Study and synthesised into a comprehensive report. Gaps and trends evident in the literature base were identified and analysed thematically to provide a narrative interpretation of existing literature. Studies that investigated and assessed various screening assessments for CPTSD were categorised in relation to four overarching themes: construct validity of ICD-11 PTSD and CPTSD, evidence of existing psychometric measures used to screen for CPTSD, the measures’ psychometric properties, the prevalence of PTSD/CPTSD and severe psychopathology, and study design. Conclusion and Recommendations: Four specific themes emerged in relation to the evidence of various screening assessments for CPTSD. Future research could aim to incorporate qualitative studies that serve to understand the lived experiences of individuals diagnosed with complex trauma disorders, particularly in developing and under-resourced contexts. Further research could drive potential opportunities to develop culturally sensitive standardised measures to reduce and remediate generalisability issues.

The long-term psychological and physiological effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACE) have been widely researched. Interventions that treat ACE have been less researched, but there are interventions that have shown efficacy in reducing the harmful effects of ACE. Objective: This study aims to explore the availability of evidence-based interventions for addressing the behavioural effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACE) and provides recommendations for applying them in the South African context. Methods and Analysis: A scoping review was conducted to synthesise available literature on evidence-based interventions that treat ACE. The data was charted according to author, year, study title, interventions and strategies utilised, and results. The data were screened through a PRISMA-ScR flow diagram according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and a total of 12 studies were eligible for inclusion. Results and Discussion: Demonstrated themes were identified thematically to provide a narrative interpretation of the included literature. The interventions were reviewed according to their approach, including family, school-based, institution-led, and individual-focused. School-based interventions, parenting programmes and individual psychotherapy interventions show various levels of success as is discussed here. Gaps in the literature highlight limited research on interventions designed or tested for the South African population. Conclusion and Recommendations: Evidence-based interventions that treat the behavioural effects of ACE show efficacy in various settings and have proven to reduce the harmful effects of ACE. More interventions should be researched in the South African context as the diverse cultures, and high exposure to trauma and violence could impact the efficacy of interventions.
Early childhood education in Ghana: teachers’ understanding and enactment of inclusion.
Authors:   , Mohammed Awudu Salaam
Published: February 2024

This study explored teachers’ understanding and enactment of Inclusion in Early Childhood Education (IECE) in Ghana. Inclusion theorises that, every child of school-going age must have access to quality education regardless of their cultural and socioeconomic dissimilarity. The keystone of the policy is to stimulate inclusion and lessen exclusions in the educational system. By utilising an interpretive qualitative multi-case study approach involving semi-structured interviews, observation, and photo-elicitation instruments, data from six study teachers was collected. The inductive thematic analysis method was used to interpret the data. Findings from the study revealed IECE was understood as the accommodation and merging of learners with disability with their mainstream peers in the same learning environment to reduce stigmatisation, segregation, and exclusionary practices. Disability was a major factor influencing Ghana’s IECE practices, more than equity issues, ability, and stage of child’s enrolment. Despite the progressive principles underpinning IECE, the enactment of the programmes is encountering challenges due to various debilitating factors such as the lack of educational resources, funding, inappropriate training programmes, and conservative cultural views towards children with disabilities. The study recommended that for a high level of IECE practice, the policy should be supported by effective and ongoing training, Government support by providing the required resources, clear policy guidelines, and employing teachers with knowledge and understanding IECE. For an IECE school to succeed, a culture mind shift must begin at the top, with a coherent understanding, shared vision throughout the entire staff, commitment, and best practices in teaching and learning throughout the whole school community. Teachers, policymakers, and other role-players in education should view IECE in the context of learners’ rights to education rather than focusing on disability problems associated with exclusion and segregation. The exploration concludes that, even though the enactment of IECE is fraught with impediments, it is a reasonable practice that should be enacted to achieve national objectives since IECE exposes children to information and skills which is vital for economic growth and confidence building. By meaningfully adopting IECE and enacting it successfully, the nation’s current and future human resource development, will be enhanced. building. By meaningfully adopting the IECE policy and enacting it successfully, the nation’s current and future human resource development, will be enhanced.

Authors: Ibrahima Kalil Kourouma  , Oumou Hawa Bah  , Alain GBILIMOU  , Soryba BANGOURA
Published: February 2024

The fatal consequences of open-cast mining are first and foremost the considerable degradation of the earth's surface. Soil disturbed during mining operations must be rehabilitated in line with the progress of the extraction work, to promote environmental protection. Restored areas contribute to the oxygen balance, rainfall and soil regeneration. The aim of this work is to highlight the development techniques used in areas affected by mining operations. To carry out this research work, we used technical restoration, which consists of rehabilitating disturbed soils with a view to their subsequent use for the needs of the population, and biological restoration, which consists of implementing appropriate measures to protect the environment and allow flora and fauna to flourish. This includes creating a fertile layer after logging, developing nurseries and seedlings, transplanting and protecting wooded areas. For forest and fruit restoration in our study area, we have planned: 395,760 cashew seedlings because of their resistance to unfavorable climatic conditions and 168,375 acacia seedlings for firewood, charcoal, furniture and construction. Mine rehabilitation is a more complex discipline, involving the use of native plants to mimic the natural ecosystem, rather than simple revegetation actions. In general, complete reclamation is impossible, but careful restoration and rehabilitation can create a favorable ecosystem.

Cycle I was held on 13 and 16 April 2022 and Cycle II was held on 20 and 23 April 2022. The research model used in this classroom action research consisted of 4 stages, namely planning, implementation, observation and reflection. Data collection techniques through observation and formative tests. The data analysis technique used a comparative description, namely by comparing scores of pre-cycle, cycle I and cycle II. The results showed that by applying the discovery learning model, student activity increased so that student learning achievement also increased. This can be seen from the data from the observation of student learning activity obtained by 25% in the pre-cycle, increasing to 35.14% in the first cycle and 81.24% in the second cycle. The results of the concept understanding test also increased, students who finished learning and 16.67% before the improvement became 41.66% in the first cycle and 83.33% in the second cycle with an average value in the initial learning of 54.17 to 66.67 in the first cycle. the first cycle then in the second cycle to 84.17.
Geógrafas pioneras: intrépidas y viajeras (siglo XVIII al XX)

Una asignatura pendiente en nuestra disciplina es la de recuperar las aportaciones realizadas a la academia y a la sociedad de las geógrafas que permanecen en el olvido. En esta investigación, se visibiliza y rescata a aquellas que fueron pioneras en la Geografía y que, probablemente, fueron modelo y ejemplo para otras mujeres. Tras una intensa búsqueda de información, se han recuperado cuarenta y dos geógrafas de diferentes partes del mundo. Con sus nombres; año de nacimiento y defunción; país de origen; premios o pertenencia a asociaciones geográficas; aportaciones a la academia o a la sociedad; y lugares explorados, se ha elaborado una base de datos que ha permitido establecer relaciones entre sus biografías. Los resultados obtenidos de dicho análisis se han estructurado en cuatro apartados: estudiantes y docentes pioneras en Geografía, reconocimiento por sociedades geográficas, aportaciones científicas a la academia y sociedad, y lugares visitados analizados desde una perspectiva geográfica. Muy probablemente, no están todas las que fueron por lo que las autoras continuarán con la búsqueda para visibilizarlas y evitar que sean olvidadas.
Impacto del COVID-19 en el transporte público urbano de las ciudades medias españolas

El presente artículo analiza la repercusión que la pandemia de COVID-19 y las restricciones aplicadas para su contención han tenido sobre los servicios de transporte público urbano de las cinco ciudades españolas con una población comprendida en el intervalo de los 170 000 habitantes. Para ello se han estudiado los datos de viajeros de los distintos sistemas de transporte urbano de estas ciudades, se ha analizado su evolución a lo largo de la pandemia y en la denominada nueva normalidad, y se han comparado con los de años precedentes. El resultado muestra un descenso porcentual bastante similar en la mayoría de los casos, que asimismo se corresponde con la tendencia registrada en el conjunto de servicios urbanos de España. No se aprecia una relación entre el tráfico de viajeros existente en cada servicio antes de la pandemia y el descenso experimentado durante la misma. Sin embargo, aquellos municipios que previamente registraban un volumen de usuarios más elevado presentan en 2021 una mayor recuperación porcentual que aquellos cuyo volumen de viajeros era menor.
Quantifying the impact of pre-vaccination titre and vaccination history on influenza vaccine immunogenicity
Authors: Hodgson David
Published: February 2024

Epidemiological studies suggest that heterogeneity in influenza vaccine antibody response is associated with host factors, including pre-vaccination immune status, age, gender, and vaccination history. However, the pattern of reported associations varies between studies. To better understand the underlying influences on antibody responses, we combined host factors and vaccine-induced in-host antibody kinetics from a cohort study conducted across multiple seasons with a unified analysis framework. We developed a flexible individual-level Bayesian model to estimate associations and interactions between host factors, including pre-vaccine HAI titre, age, sex, vaccination history and study setting, and vaccine-induced HAI titre antibody boosting and waning. We applied the model to derive population-level and individual effects of post-vaccine antibody kinetics for vaccinating and circulating strains for A(H1N1) and A(H3N2) influenza subtypes. We found that post-vaccine HAI titre dynamics were significantly influenced by pre-vaccination HAI titre and vaccination history and that lower pre-vaccination HAI titre results in longer durations of seroprotection (HAI titre equal to 1:40 or higher). Consequently, for A(H1N1), our inference finds that the expected duration of seroprotection post-vaccination was 171 (95% Posterior Predictive Interval[PPI] 128–220) and 159 (95% PPI 120–200) days longer for those who are infrequently vaccinated (<2 vaccines in last five years) compared to those who are frequently vaccinated (2 or more vaccines in the last five years) at pre-vaccination HAI titre values of 1:10 and 1:20 respectively. In addition, we found significant differences in the empirical distributions that describe the individual-level duration of seroprotection for A(H1N1) circulating strains. In future, studies that rely on serological endpoints should include the impact of pre-vaccine HAI titre and prior vaccination status on seropositivity and seroconversion estimates, as these significantly influence an individual’s post-vaccination antibody kinetics.
