ABSTRAK Pemilikan rumah pertama merupakan langkah penting dalam kehidupan golongan belia di Malaysia, namun ia dihadapkan dengan pelbagai isu dan cabaran yang signifikan. Objektif kajian ini adalah untuk menganalisis perspektif, dilema, isu, dan cabaran yang dihadapi oleh belia dalam usaha memiliki rumah pertama, dengan penekanan khusus terhadap analisis harga rumah dan corak kemampuan belia. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah analisis sekunder yang melibatkan pengumpulan dan analisis data daripada sumber-sumber sedia ada seperti jurnal, laporan kerajaan, dan dokumen-dokumen ekonomi. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa faktor-faktor seperti harga rumah yang tinggi, lokasi perumahan yang tidak strategik, serta kesukaran dalam mendapatkan pinjaman perumahan merupakan antara cabaran utama yang dihadapi oleh belia. Di samping itu, beban kewangan yang berat akibat kos sara hidup yang meningkat turut menyukarkan lagi usaha pemilikan rumah pertama ini. Kajian ini juga mengenal pasti jurang antara dasar yang dirangka oleh kerajaan dengan realiti di lapangan, di mana inisiatif perumahan sedia ada masih belum mencukupi untuk memenuhi keperluan sebenar golongan belia. Kesimpulan kajian ini mencadangkan penambahbaikan dalam dasar perumahan, peningkatan kerjasama antara pihak berkepentingan, dan perlunya pendidikan kewangan bagi meningkatkan daya tahan pemilikan rumah di kalangan belia. Pendidikan kewangan yang lebih komprehensif dan menyeluruh di peringkat awal mungkin dapat membantu golongan ini merancang kewangan mereka dengan lebih baik dan mengelakkan dari kesilapan yang boleh merugikan di masa hadapan. Dengan tindakan yang tepat, diharapkan golongan belia dapat menikmati kestabilan dan keselamatan yang diinginkan melalui pemilikan rumah pertama mereka. Kata Kunci: Pemilikan Rumah, Belia, Harga Rumah, Cabaran, Polisi.

Education is a conscious and planned effort to form a learning atmosphere and learning process that is able to activate the potential of students in developing spiritual dimensions, religion, self-control, personality, intelligence, noble character, and skills needed for the benefit of self, society, nation and state. Although formal education such as elementary school to tertiary education has become a common form of education, non-formal education such as the Al-Ihsan Boarding School Islamic Boarding School also has an important role in shaping the character and values of the students. Currently, reporting of violations of students' behavior is done manually by recording them in a report book which results in several problems, such as inconsistencies in violation data, and non transparency in providing information to parents of students. To overcome this problem, a website-based student behavior reporting system is needed with the aim of building a website-based student behavior reporting system that is capable of managing student behavior data accurately, as well as providing notifications via the whatsapp application to parents of students so that parents can easily receive and monitor behavior and violations committed by their children. The research flow method used is as a reference for conducting research in order to have structured and systematic results by covering several stages by identifying problems, studying literature, designing systems, developing systems, testing systems, implementing systems and evaluating systems. Thus, the results of this study are that a web-based student behavior reporting system can contribute and has great potential to increase efficiency, accuracy, and accessibility in managing student behavior data and this will help the Al-Ihsan Boarding School Islamic Boarding School in managing and monitoring behavior. students effectively.

Stocks are one of the popular investment instruments in Indonesia, but they also come with high risks. According to a report from PT Central Securities Depository Indonesia (KSEI) on November 21, 2022, the number of investors in the Indonesian capital market has reached 10 million people, followed by 9.3 million mutual fund investors and 803 thousand investors in government securities. Therefore, a method is needed to accurately predict stock prices. This research aims to apply a Machine Learning method based on Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) to predict stock prices on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) using financial ratio variables as features. The study uses stock data on the IDX from the Kompas100 stock index from 2008 to 2022. The data is then converted, cleaned, and divided into training and testing data. The model is trained with the training data and tested with the testing data. To measure the model's performance, this research uses the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) metric. The study finds that the best-performing model produces an RMSE of 14.08. Additionally, the research also discovers that the best combination of financial ratio variables for the machine learning model includes ROA, ROE, PBV, DER, EPS, and PER, compared to combinations such as EPS, ROE, PER, and DER, or ROA, ROE, EPS, and PBV. In conclusion, this study suggests that the Machine Learning method based on RNN can be used to predict stock prices on the IDX using financial ratio variables as features.

Purwakarta Regency has the potential to be a tourist destination that can be visited by tourists in almost all of its areas. Good management from the government and local residents is necessary to ensure the long-term sustainability of these tourist attractions. One aspect of tourism that needs to be well-managed is the information about the tourist areas. The dissemination of information about tourist areas can be done through various platforms, one of which is WhatsApp. WhatsApp application has the highest rating of 92.1% among internet users in Indonesia, making it an effective medium for conveying information about tourism. WhatsApp has a built-in chatbot feature, which makes information delivery more effective as it can be available 24/7 and cost-effective due to its automated nature. In the development of a WhatsApp chatbot, several components need to be considered. First, the WhatsApp application plays a role as the sender and receiver of messages. Next, the Heroku hosting platform is important for implementing the chatbot. The use of the Python programming language is a suitable choice for building the chatbot. Lastly, Twilio serves as the service provider that connects the chatbot with the WhatsApp application, ensuring seamless interaction between the two. After the chatbot is built, blackbox testing is conducted on the WhatsApp chatbot to ensure that the functionality of the input and output align with expectations. The results demonstrate that the WhatsApp chatbot functions well, allowing it to be implemented as a means of providing tourism information in Purwakarta Regency.

La continuidad del virus SARS-CoV2 (COVID-19) ha causado una crisis sanitaria, económica, laboral y social durante dos años. Es de preocuparse por las nuevas variantes: el “perro del infierno” para el 2022. Estados, gobiernos y administraciones públicas han tomado medidas, como el confinamiento de la población, suspensión de clases en todos los niveles educativos de instituciones públicas como privadas, con la limitación de ciertos derechos humanos. En México se dictaron medidas de mitigación y control: 1) Acuerdo del Consejo de Salubridad General de fecha 19 de marzo, 2) la Jornada de Sana Distancia, 3) el Plan DN-III de la Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional y el Plan de Marina, y 4) las acciones extraordinarias para atender la emergencia sanitaria generada por el virus, emitida por el Consejo de Salubridad General de fecha 30 de marzo. Las respuestas del sistema de salud: el modelo centinela (SSA), el aislamiento y la cuarentena, el uso de mascarillas, las políticas explícitas de vacunación y la colaboración internacional (COVAX) son las respuestas de salud pública. Las empresas tuvieron que innovar y usar el teletrabajo y las Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación (TIC). Después, el gobierno se unió a esta transformación digital, demostrando su forma de organización.

La pedagogía teatral como estrategia de enseñanza para desarrollar el pensamiento histórico
Authors: Escobar Escamilla Wilman , Alvarado Rodríguez María Laura
Published: November 2024

Este estudio investiga cómo integrar el teatro para desarrollar habilidades de pensamiento histórico en estudiantes de noveno grado. A pesar de la disminución de la participación en actividades artísticas en la educación secundaria, el teatro es crucial para fomentar habilidades críticas y analíticas (Stanislavsky, 2019). La investigación utiliza un diseño transversal y un enfoque mixto, combinando métodos cualitativos y cuantitativos, para evaluar el impacto de la actividad teatral en el aprendizaje histórico. El proceso incluye la creación del guion, ensayos y la presentación final. Se observa que la actividad teatral ayuda a los estudiantes a comprender y empatizar los eventos históricos de manera más profunda. Los resultados se recopilan mediante cuestionarios y observaciones, enfocándose en habilidades como la contextualización y la narración histórica. Este enfoque se alinea con los objetivos del Ministerio de Educación Pública de Costa Rica y ha demostrado ser beneficioso en otros países (Latapi, 2018; Santisteban, 2010). Aunque el teatro resultó efectivo para mejorar la comprensión histórica y motivar a los estudiantes a permanecer en el sistema educativo (Villalpando, 2010), se encontraron limitaciones, como el desarrollo desigual de la empatía y problemas de tiempo y participación en la evaluación final. El estudio concluye que el teatro es prometedor, pero su implementación requiere ajustes para maximizar su efectividad. Se recomienda explorar cómo el teatro puede mejorar aún más el pensamiento histórico y la empatía en futuras investigaciones.

The Paradox of Prestige: Unravelling Personal Snobbery in Evelyn Waugh’s Brideshead Revisited (1945)
Authors: Salih Hussam Talib
Published: November 2024

Evelyn Waugh’s Brideshead Revisited (1945) is undoubtedly his best and most famous fictional text. Ever since its publication, the novel has been studied and addressed copiously and from different perspectives. It has, for instance, been frequently studied on religious grounds with clear reference to Evelyn Waugh’s Catholicism. In this regard, some studies have investigated the influence of St. Augustine on the novel while some others have explicitly addressed the Catholic faith in the text. Besides, some studies have critically read Waugh’s novel with connection to John Milton’s Paradise Lost. Other studies have analyzed the topics of class and gender in the novel as its chief characters demonstrate a class gap apparently belonging to lower and upper classes. Further studies have touched upon the concept of moral and religious decadence as reflected in the novel, whereas more studies treated the topic of manliness and masculinity as depicted in the novel. Yet, no study—to the researcher’s best knowledge—has critically examined the issues of the paradox of prestige and personal snobbery in the novel in a single effort. In view of that, the current research study aims to address and analyze the paradox of prestige and unravel the personal snobbery in Waugh’s novel Brideshead Revisited. The paper at hand also aims to address and study the various aspects of the social and religious life and their backgrounds such as class, etiquette and mannerism, gender and sex and others to find out how they affect and influence characters in their overall attitude, thinking and way of life.

Progressive Social Change Perspectives and Therapy: Mapping the Interfaces Part 1: From Progressive Social Change Perspectives to Therapy
Authors: Cooper Mick
Published: November 2024

The pluralistic approach to therapy is grounded in principles of progressive social change. This paper is the first part of a review that maps the interfaces between progressive social change perspectives and therapy. This first part introduces the review and focuses on the contribution of the former to the latter. Building on previous maps by Totton and Sanders, the aim is to develop a comprehensive, integrated framework for understanding these interfaces: stimulating further writing, research, and practice. A systematic search of two key journals and related literature was conducted, resulting in the construction of seven main domains, several of which were further divided into sub-domains. Domains and sub-domains for the first part of this framework are: the existence of therapy-as-a-whole, therapeutic practice (subdomains: understanding clients and formulation, therapists’ self-understandings, the therapeutic relationship, methods and techniques, therapeutic interventions), supervision, training (subdomains: curricula, process, access), research (subdomains: topics, methodology), access to therapy, and the therapy profession. Literature and practices in each of these areas is described and illustrated. This paper also considers key traditions of progressive social change thought and action in the therapy field and discusses the challenges of mapping these interfaces. By bringing together a wide range of literature and traditions, this paper supports pluralistic therapists, and others with a progressive social change perspective, to reflect on, and develop, the social justice elements of their thought and practice. Part 2 of this review, to be published, will look at the contribution of therapy to progressive social change perspectives, and integrated psycho-political approaches.
Investigation of the relationship between digital obesity status and alexithymia in young people aged 10-24
Authors: Yıldırım Mehmet Salih
Published: November 2024

In today's rapidly digitalizing world, concepts such as digital obesity and alexithymia are becoming increasingly important. The aim of this study is to examine the concepts of digital obesity and alexithymia to understand the effects of these phenomena and prevention behaviors. In this way, it is aimed to raise awareness about the effects of digital technologies on health and contribute to individuals developing healthier digital habits. This study carried out a descriptive correlational study with individuals between the ages of 10-24 (n: 391) in schools affiliated with the Ağrı Provincial Directorate of National Education and Ağrı İbrahim Çeçen University between May 2023 and July 2023. The SPSS-22 package program and R programming language 4.1.3 were used in the study. It was found that the level of alexithymia increased as the digital obesity status of young people increased (t = 7.978; p = 0.001). Furthermore, it was determined that the Elastic Net Regression method is the best model that can be used to predict the alexithymia level. According to the Shapley value, the most important variable in predicting alexithymia was found to be digital obesity. The study determined that as the level of digital obesity increased, alexithymia also increased. In the fight against digital obesity and alexithymia, educational programs and guidance services can be provided to encourage individuals to develop conscious digital usage habits.

Exploring the real-world management of catheter-associated urinary tract infections by Swiss general practitioners and urologists: insights from an online survey
Authors: Zünti Iris , Arbelaez Emilio , Tschudin-Sutter Sarah , Zeller Andreas , Halbeisen Florian S. , Seifert Hans-Helge , Bausch Kathrin
Published: November 2024

AIM: To assess and compare the real-world management of catheters and catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) among Swiss general practitioners and urologists, encompassing diagnosis, treatment and prophylaxis.
METHODS: An anonymised online questionnaire was distributed among Swiss general practitioners and urologists between January and October 2023 via the networks of Sentinella and the Swiss Association of Urology. The questionnaire consisted of questions on catheter management, including diagnosis, treatment and prophylaxis of CAUTI. Analysis was performed by discipline. Fisher’s exact test was applied for comparisons (statistical significance with p <0.05).
RESULTS: Out of 175 participating physicians, the majority were involved in catheter management. Urologists exhibited significantly higher levels of competence as compared to general practitioners (67.1% vs 20.9%). Although no significant differences were observed regarding diagnostic approaches between disciplines, unrecommended diagnostic methods were frequently applied. general practitioners reported that they treated non-febrile CAUTI for longer durations, while urologists indicated that they treated febrile CAUTI longer. Additionally, the use of fluoroquinolones was more prevalent among general practitioners compared to urologists, while prophylactic measures were more frequently applied by urologists.
CONCLUSIONS: Catheter and CAUTI management entail significant uncertainty for general practitioners. CAUTI management varied notably between general practitioners and urologists in terms of treatment and prophylaxis. The use of non-recommended diagnostic approaches and drugs was common. This trend, along with inappropriate diagnostic methods and prophylaxis, may increase antimicrobial resistance and CAUTI morbidity. The study emphasises the necessity for diagnostic and antimicrobial stewardship interventions, and proper training in CAUTI management for general practitioners and urologists.
A novel injection device to administer repository corticotropin injection for inflammatory disease treatment: findings from a market research study
Authors: Elliott Sheila , Miranda Priya , Hayes Kyle
Published: November 2024

Aim:
The goal of this market research study was to determine the usability of a single-dose prefilled injector (SelfJect™) for administration of Acthar
®
Gel (manufactured by Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals, UK) in patients with inflammatory diseases by obtaining feedback from patient and practitioner user groups in the US.
Materials & methods:
Patients and healthcare professionals (HCPs) representing relevant therapeutic areas were enrolled in the study between February and March 2021. SelfJect was mailed to patients and HCPs prior to 90-min virtual video-recorded focus group sessions and 60-min 1:1 virtual interviews, respectively. Patients completed an online assignment prior to the group session, which included instructions on how to use SelfJect and questions about their initial reaction while handling the device. HCPs were instructed to not open the package until the interview. Feedback from patients and HCPs were captured by open-ended questions and ranking scales.
Results:
Twelve patients and 42 HCPs participated in the study. Most patients (9/12 [75%]) and HCPs (38/42 [90%]) had experience with injectable medications, and 7/12 (58%) and 30/42 [71%] had experience with Acthar injections, respectively. Most patients and HCPs reported that key benefits of SelfJect were accurate dose delivery and ease of use, including the ergonomic handle and elimination of drawing Acthar from a vial into a syringe. Patients expressed some concerns about storage and disposal, but the need to store SelfJect would not deter them from using it. Most patients (9/12 [75%]) felt prepared to inject Acthar after reviewing the instructions. HCPs anticipated that 75% to 100% of patients would benefit switching from the vial to SelfJect.
Conclusion:
All participants expressed positive perceptions for SelfJect including easy use, few preparation steps and potential reduced anxiety due to needle phobia. These attributes may help treatment adherence for patients and caregivers.
Banken und Finanzmarktunion: Wo stehen wir?

Published: November 2024

Schon seit vielen Jahren ist das Produktivitätswachstum in den USA höher als in Europa, was zu immer größer-werdenden Unterschieden im Pro-Kopf-Einkommen zwischen den beiden Ländern führt. Dieser Artikel dokumentiert, dass die geringere Firmendynamik, das heißt, weniger Eintritt und Austritt von Firmen in den Markt und damit weniger Innovation, ein wichtiger erklärender Faktor für die Unterschiede im Produktivitätswachstum darstellen. Im zweiten Teil des Beitrags werden die drei wichtigsten Initiativen der EU-Politik gegenübergestellt und aufgezeigt, welche Ziele sie verfolgen und wie mehr oder weniger erfolgreich sie tatsächlich implementiert werden. Während ein stabileres Bankensystem für den Erfolg der Bankenunion spricht, kann wenig Fortschritt im Bereich der theoretisch erfolgsversprechenden Absichten und Mechanismen der Kapitalmarktunion verzeichnet werden. Es ist anzuzweifeln, ob der Chips Act die angestrebten geostrategischen Ziele erfüllen kann. Initiativen auf nationaler Ebene bleiben aufgrund der Komplexität und Fragmentierung der europäischen Kapitalmärkte ein wichtiger Faktor.

Patient exposure to medication during drug therapy makes the need for pharmacovigilance an integral part of patient safety. It is also followed by how the medicine enter into market phases. Pharmacovigilance systems and post-market surveillance reports ensure that regulatory authorities could monitor and assess adverse drug reactions in real time. Through the progress and innovations in artificial intelligence, which is getting its applications widely implemented in several healthcare domains these days, this has brought systems that could give the results quickly with high-level accuracy compared to those of humans. These systems are being employed to reduce adverse drug reactions (ADR), pick up safety signals swiftly, and serve as a directional tool to enable qualified entities of stakeholders, regulatory authorities, and pharmaceutical companies for the subsequent informed decision making. Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are changing healthcare and pharmaceuticals for a variety of reasons, including the speed at which they can be quickly advanced. Healthcare providers, regulatory agencies, and drug companies need to employ such systems in their pharmacovigilance practices. This chapter covers the application of artificial intelligence in pharmacovigilance systems and provides overview on integration of pharmacovigilance with AI for dummies. This chapter reviews the advantages and drawbacks of using AI in pharmacovigilance, creating regulatory and safety guidelines for drug safety, pharmaceutical product development, clinical trial design, estimate of product costs, and the perspective on future use of AI in pharmacovigilance.

This chapter explores the integration of various techniques and processes to achieve a sustainable house, focusing on reducing energy consumption and minimizing negative environmental impacts. Solutions such as in-house wastewater treatment, solid waste management, and the capture of solar thermal and photovoltaic energy are presented. These methods allow to produce recycled water, biogas for cooking, and electrical energy for lighting, all within the framework of a bioclimatic urban house. The implementation of these technologies in urban family homes not only generates energy to meet basic needs but also reduces the negative impacts of wastewater and solid waste, contributing to the city’s environmental sustainability.
Antibiotic Resistance in Mycobacteria

Published: November 2024

Mycobacterium infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and non-tuberculosis mycobacterium (NTM) presents a serious threat to global health, mainly due to a protracted treatment regimen involving a combination of drugs. Antibiotic resistance in mycobacterium is mainly due to a frequent gene mutation that encodes antibiotic resistance. There are also several additional unique features of drug resistance, such as chromosomal mutation, efflux pumps, bacterial heterogeneity, slow metabolism, biofilm formation, antibiotic degradation or modification, target modification, and host microenvironment. In this chapter, we discuss the traditional mechanisms of drug resistance in mycobacterium, newer understandings, and the shaping of unconventional approaches to target both the emergence and treatment of drug resistance in mycobacterium.

Published: November 2024

Endometriosis is a leading cause of chronic pelvic pain in women and requires multidimensional lifelong management strategies. This chapter comprehensively reviews the multidisciplinary approaches to pain management in women with endometriosis, emphasizing both pharmacological and interventional strategies. Medical management includes non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and hormonal contraceptives as the first line of treatment, providing adequate pain relief for many patients. Other pharmacological options include tricyclic and serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRI) antidepressants, calcium channel blockers, GnRH agonists/antagonists, and aromatase inhibitors. Some disadvantages related to pharmacological treatment include inhibition of ovulation, side effects of medications, and high recurrence of pain after discontinuation of treatment. Surgical management is usually delayed due to the risk of pelvic organ damage and postoperative adhesion formation. Physical and behavioral therapy are encouraged as a comprehensive approach to chronic pelvic pain. Interventional pain management techniques have emerged as a therapeutic option providing adequate pain control without impairing fertility. Neuromodulatory techniques such as peripheral nerve stimulation, dorsal root ganglion, and spinal cord stimulation could be a promising line of treatment for patients with refractory pain.

Background: Both coding and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as vital regulators in almost every cellular process, and their expression can be modulated by external stimuli, such as physical exercise. Objectives: The current research aimed to investigate the effects of different volumes of TABATA-high-intensity interval training (HIIT) exercises combined with royal jelly (RJ) supplementation on the NLRP3 inflammasome and lncRNA-H19 expression in obese males. Methods: Forty-two healthy men [Body Mass Index (BMI) = 30 kg/m², waist-to-hip ratio = 0.95, age range: 40 - 60 years] volunteered to participate in the study. The individuals were randomly divided into five experimental groups (N = 35) and one control + placebo group (N = 7). The high-volume (HV) or low-volume (LV) TABATA exercise programs were performed twice a week for 8 weeks. Participants in the RJ supplementation groups received a 1000 mg capsule once a day for 8 weeks. The expression of NLRP3 and lncRNA-H19 genes was evaluated using the real-time PCR method. Results: The NLRP3 gene expression in the Bruce test, measured before and after the 8-week exercise interventions and RJ supplementation, showed insignificant changes across the different groups. However, the H19 gene expression in the Bruce test showed a significant reduction in the HV-TABATA HIIT intervention groups, which was more pronounced than in the LV groups after 8 weeks: HV group (P = 0.004), RJ group (P = 0.001), HV + RJ group (P = 0.007), and LV + RJ group (P = 0.002). After 8 weeks of non-pharmacological interventions involving exercise training and supplementation, a significant decrease in NLRP3 and a significant increase in H19 gene expression were detected in the HV group compared to the LV group (P = 0.05 and P = 0.010). Significant improvement was also found in the resting H19 levels between the RJ and LV groups (P = 0.011) and the LV + RJ group (P = 0.44). Moreover, a significant reduction in resting NLRP3 gene expression was observed between the RJ + LV and LV groups (P = 0.038). Conclusions: Chronic HV TABATA HIIT exercise, when combined with RJ supplementation, is effective in attenuating inflammatory responses to acute stress.

Background: Management of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with underlying disorders is a challenging issue at any time. Objectives: The present survey investigated the mortality rate of COVID-19 patients with various underlying disorders. Methods: In the present cross-sectional study, patients with COVID-19 who were referred to the Razi Hospital in Ahvaz from Feb 2020 to Oct 2020 were evaluated. Non-probability sampling method was used for sample collection. All documented information, including length of hospitalization, comorbidities, survival, and clinical and laboratory findings, were collected. Results: In the present study, 500 diabetic patients with COVID-19 infection were included. The mean age of participants was 59.61 ± 14.88 years old. Of the subjects, 192 (38.4%) were female and 308 (61.6%) were male. DM solely was the most frequent underlying disorder (46.2%), followed by co-occurrence of DM and hypertension (HTN) (43%). The mortality rate was 15% and was more frequent in patients with simultaneous DM and HTN (66%) (P-value < 0.001). Also, the mortality rate was significantly higher in males than females (72% vs 28%) (P-value = 0.042). Further analysis indicated that the mean of white blood cells (WBC), neutrophil count, blood urea nitrogen, glucose, creatinine, and aspartate aminotransferase were significantly higher in expired patients (P-value < 0.05). Post Hoc analysis showed the highest pulse rate (PR) and respiratory rate (RR) in patients with DM, HTN, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (P-value < 0.001). Conclusions: The present investigation showed that comorbidities significantly increase the COVID-19 mortality rate. Our findings revealed that more attention is required for COVID-19 patients with HTN and DM. Due to discrepancies with recent investigations, further studies with more follow-up are recommended.
