Published: June 2023

Çalışmamızda, Yalova ilinin yerli köylerinden olan İlyasköy bölgesinde bulunan Osmanlı Dönemi’ne ait mezar taşlarının tamamı incelenmiştir. Söz konusu taşlar için form ve süsleme açısından öncelikle kendi içinde bir sınıflandırma yapılmış sonrasında yakın çevre ve civar illerdeki mezar taşları ile benzer özellikler yönünden karşılaştırmaya gidilmiştir. İlyasköy’de köy mezarlığından sökülerek köyün meydanında bir dizi halinde sıralanan 19 adet taş çalışmamızın temelini teşkil etmektedir. Köy mezarlığında yer alan basit işçilikli 9 adet mezar taşının ise bir tablo içine fotoğraflarının yerleştirilerek ekler bölümünde sunulması yeterli görülmüştür. Bahse konu 19 adet taş arasında 7 tanesi 18.yy.’a, 11 tanesi 19.yy.’a aittir. 1 numaralı örnekte sadece ayak taşının günümüze ulaşmasından dolayı tarih ibaresi tespit edilememiştir. Diğer 18 örnekte ise baş şahideleri varlıklarını koruyabilmiştir. Malzeme olarak genelde kaliteli taş işçiliği tercih edilmesine rağmen iki örnekte mermer malzemenin kullanıldığı gözlenmiştir. Taşa hakkedilen yazılar işçilik olarak yüzeyden oyularak kabartma tekniğinde uygulanmıştır. Taşların yerlerinden söküldükleri ve söküldükleri yerde herhangi bir mezar kalıntısı bulunmadığından mezar tipleri tespit edilememiştir. Kök bölümlerinin düzgün işlenmesi bahse konu olan taşların lahit ya da pehleli mezar tiplerinin yuvasına oturtulduklarını göstermektedir. İncelenen mezar taşlarının tamamı dikdörtgen kesit özelliği göstermektedir. Bu dikdörtgen kesitli mezar taşlarının 11 tanesinde erkek başlık, 4 tanesinde kadın başlık, 1 tanesinde üçgen tepelik, 1 tanesinde bitkisel tepelik, 1 tanesinde yarım daire kemerli tepelik ve 1 tanesinde sivri kemerli tepelik kullanılmıştır. Erkek başlık tiplerinde sadece sarık tipi kullanılmış, kadın başlık tiplerinde ise külah başlıklı ve tepesi düz başlıklı tipler tercih edilmiştir. İlyasköy’deki mezar taşlarının çoğu sadedir. Süsleme olarak baş taşının tepelik kısmında akantus yaprağı ve ayak taşının gövde kısmında kıvrımlı çiçek dallarından oluşan bitkisel bir kompozisyon tasarlanmıştır. Bahse konu olan taşların çoğunluğunda sülüs yazının tercih edildiği gözlenmektedir. İstatiksel olarak 13 tanesinde celi sülüs, 5 tanesinde celi talik yazı kullanılmıştır. Mezar taşları arasında üç mezar taşının mesleği (beşe, imam) belirtilmiştir. Diğerlerinde meslek türü ifade edilmemiştir. İlyasköy’deki mezar taşlarının 7 örneğinde aynı tarihte ölüm olayının gerçekleşmiş olması köyün söylenilen tarihte salgın bir hastalık geçirmiş olduğunu düşündürmektedir. Taşlar form, teknik ve süsleme açısından başkent üslubuna benzer özellik göstermektedir. Marmara Bölgesi’nin batısında bir manav köyünde yer alan bu taşların malzeme, form, teknik ve süsleme açısında Sanat Tarihi alanına kaynaklık edeceği gibi kitabe bilgileri yönünden Türk kimliğini de ortaya koyacağı ümidindeyiz.

При створенні і подальшому удосконаленні молочних порід худоби в сучасних умовах активно використовується метод розведення за лініями, який обов’язково потрібен для створення певної структури кожної породи. Це дає можливість забезпечувати її розвиток. У породах, які мають широкий ареал міститься значно більше генеалогічних одиниць ніж у зональних і локальних. Це походження суттєво впливає на генотип тварин і у подальшому формуванню його фенотипу. Тому нашим завданням було дослідити особливості росту, розвитку і формуванню екстер’єру в умовах господарства високого технологічного рівня. В результаті проведення досліджень було встановлено, що на показники росту і розвитку в різні вікові періоди мали вплив генотипові походження, а саме належність до певної генеалогічної одиниці. Так найбільший приріст за весь період вирощування спостерігалася у тварин лінії Валіанта 1650417315, другий за рангом мали тварини лінії Чифі 1427381, третій – Белла 166736674, четвертий – Елевейшна 1491007 і останній Старбака 352790. В останній період наших спостережень прирости значно уповільнюються по всім дослідним групам. Так по групі тварин л. Валіанта 1650447315 це зниження становило 161,0 г, л. Белла 166736674 – 163,8 г, л. Чифа 1427381 – 148,6 г, л. Елевейшна 1491007 – 124,7 г та л. Старбака 352790 – 175,1 г. При порівнянні основних промірів ремонтних телиць різних генеалогічних формувань встановлено, що за висотою в холці переважали тварини л. Старбака 352790. Ця перевага становила від 1,0 до 4,0 см з вірогідною перевагою над групами Белла 166736674 (Р>0,99) та Чифа 1427381 (Р>0,999). За глибиною грудей перевага спостерігаласть у тварин л. Валіанта 16504147315. Вона становила 0,9 см над тваринами групи Белла 166736674, 0,7 см л. Чифа 1427381, 0,6 см л. Елевейшна 1491007 та 2,1 см л. Старбака 352790 (Р>0,999). Ремонті телички української чорно-рябої молочної породи в різних генеалогічних одиниць умовах ПОСП хлібороб мали достатньо інтенсивні показники середньодобових приростів, які змогли забезпечити живу масу у 18 місяців на рівні 420–440 кг в залежності від групи. Між групами спостерігались відмінності за показниками абсолютних, добових та відносних приростів.

У статті розглянута перспектива використання високобілкових рослинних добавок в хлібопекарській промисловості на прикладі використання борошна кіноа. Аналіз досліджень даної проблематики дозволяє стверджувати, що кіноа є надзвичайно багатообіцяючою високобілковою добавкою, однак слід підібрати відсоток її внесення та технологію підготовки перед внесенням, яка дозволить зберегти біологічну цінність, забезпечить оптимальні органолептичні властивості готового продукту. Метою дослідження є обґрунтування рецептури хліба пшеничного з додаванням регіонального кіноа сорту Квартет. Об’єктом дослідження є технологія виробництва хліба пшеничного опарним способом. Пропонується додавання борошна кіноа в рецептуру хлібопекарських виробів, шляхом заміни частини пшеничного борошна на борошно кіноа. Розроблено рецептури 3 зразків із заміною 5, 10 та 15% пшеничного борошна на борошно кіноа. Для приготування хліба використовувалося насіння кіноа сорту Квартет, пристосоване до наших кліматичних умов, яке було селекціоновано і вирощене в Сумському НАУ. Проведено дослідження та аналіз органолептичних та фізико-хімічних показників виробів. За результатами органолептичної оцінки можна зробити висновок, що оптимальною кількістю заміни пшеничного борошна на борошно кіноа є 10%. Отриманий продукт не лише відповідає вимогам нормативної документації, але і набуває нових, характерних внесеній добавці, смако-ароматичних характеристик. Слід зазначити, що заміна пшеничного борошна на борошно кіноа позитивно вплинула на пористість хліба, збільшивши показник на 6%. Отже, за фізико-хімічними показниками другий зразок не перевищував допустимі норми та був кращим контролю. Висновки. Встановлено, що внесення в тісто високобілкових добавок замість частини пшеничного борошна сприяє інтенсифікації процесу бродіння і зміни структурно-механічних властивостей тіста: збільшення водопоглинальної здатності, швидкості утворення тіста, зменшення його розпливчасті. Оптимальна кількість заміни борошна складає 10%. Визначено, що внесення такої кількості борошна кіноа в рецептуру сприяє як покращенню органолептичних та фізико-хімічних показників. Обґрунтовано доцільність використання борошно кіноа в хлібопекарській промисловості для збільшення частки нової продукції.
Theosis in Discipleship

Ustanovimo li da je značenje teoze postati nalik Bogu procesom postajanja poput Krista te ako je cilj učeništva postati sličnima Kristu, bjelodano je da su ta dva koncepta blisko povezana. Članak ukratko pojašnjava koncepte učeništva i teoze, kao i najčešće evanđeosko okruženje odvijanja učeništva (sastanci udvoje ili u maloj grupi). Članak potom predlaže četiri modula za poučavanje teoze u okviru učeništva: stvoreni da budemo bogoliki, izgubljena bogolikost, obnovljena bogolikost i postajanje sasvim bogoličnima. Ovaj model združuje teozu i učeništvo čime pruža nov i koristan pristup podizanju kristolikih/bogolikih učenika.
Fra Silvije Grubišić, zanemareni biblijski
prevoditelj
Authors: Berković Danijel
Published: June 2023

The contemporary study of the history of Croatian Bible translation largely focuses on several excellent Bible translators to whom we are greatly indebted in our Bible translation heritage. However, this sometimes happens at the expense of some of our neglected Croatian Bible translators, whose work and valuable contributions are barely, or just incidentally, written or known about. One such figure is Fr. Silvije Grubišić, who is not only a valuable but also an important factor in Croatian Bible translation work. Little is known, or otherwise sporadically mentioned, about Grubišić’s translation of the Old Testament, while critical, linguistic, and textual analyses of his translation are simply unheard of. This article attempts to point to the outstanding value of Fr. Silvije Grubišić’s Bible translation work. His translation of the Old Testament is very peculiar, atypical, and undoubtedly original. It is, therefore, good to emphasize those peculiarities and perform a partial textual analysis, thus contributing to the keeping and preservation of the rich Croatian Bible translation heritage.
Beyond Building: Designing Sustainability For Humans
Authors: Cairns-Spicer Mitchell Zayne
Published: June 2023

Advancements in building design and technology have greatly lessened the environmental impact of cities and homes—however architecture encompasses much more than building performance. Contemporary sustainable design removes the burden of behaving in a sustainable manner from the occupant and hides it behind high efficiency equipment and passive design strategies. This approach to design makes up for irresponsible human behavior, it mitigates the outcome of a behavioral problem. This thesis explores how architecture may be able to step beyond autonomous efficiency and better engage its occupants with their environmental impact and the resources they consume. It explores how architecture may be able to bring legibility to systems of resource consumption that are currently obfuscated from building occupants and ultimately advocate a mode of use in servitude of sustainable goals. 
Self-Regulated Architecture: Artificially Enhanced Environments
Authors: Guzman-Romero Andres
Published: June 2023

Notions of humanism permeate architecture. Since the enlightenment, humanism has been the central philosophical and theoretical discourse informing architecture. However, the conditions in which architecture serves as a mediating agent have been significantly intensified over the past few decades by technological advancements. The impact of these technologies challenges the conceptualization of the building as a static and neutral device. Instead, the building becomes a self-regulating organism with the capability of interacting with the user and the environment, blurring the line between the organic and inorganic. This design research explores the uncanny as an architectural device capable of producing an aesthetic affect beyond the traditional humanist framework. The design investigation will apply aspects of form, order, and scale to find an alternate approach towards the architectural object. Such modes of operation aim to reveal posthumanist relations between self and technology by intensifying the aesthetic engagement between the user and the building.

Published: June 2023

Recurrent abdominal pain is the most common symptom experienced by children around the world and causes high rates of children absent from school. Gastroduodenitis is a disease with abdominal pain symptoms. The initial clinical symptom was dyspepsia. In most pediatric cases the etiology is unknown (idiopathic). This study presented a case of gastroduodenitis in a 10-year-old boy hospitalized with the chief complaints of heartburn, accompanied by vomiting. The patient has a history of the same complaint in the last 3 months ago, causing the patient to be admitted to the hospital repeatedly. Pain is not relieved by defecation or flatus. On physical examination, tenderness was found in the epigastric and umbilical regions. Chronic gastroduodenitis was confirmed after endoscopic examination and tissue biopsy. Therapy including proton pump inhibitors and lifestyle modifications can improve the child's condition. In the case of gastroduodenitis, it is important to prevent complications, so proper examination and prompt treatment are needed for the sufferer.
Late Diagnosis of Turner Syndrome – Rare Genetic Disease : A Case Report
Authors: Gosal Astri Amelia , Artati Ratna Dewi
Published: June 2023

Turner syndrome (TS) is a rare genetic disease that occurs only in girls and is the result of the complete or partial absence of the X chromosome. TS has often delayed diagnosis in late childhood or adolescent age and is rarely identified during the neonatal period. The clinical features are primary amenorrhea, short stature, infertility, and characteristic dysmorphic features.  Late diagnosis is the main problem because early detection and appropriate management can improve the final height, sexual health and psychological development of patients. We report a case of turner syndrome in a 16-years and 4-months old female adolescent. The patient had specific clinical features of turner syndrome such as amenorrhea, absence of secondary sex growth and posture short stature since 14 years old. This case was confirmed from anamnesis, physical examination and chromosomal analysis, which demonstrated a gene karyotype of 45, X monosomy.

Published: June 2023

Method: Etiological, gender, age and laboratory characteristics of chronic viral hepatitis C (СVHC) were studied and analyzed. The distribution of patients depending on the virus genotype, the activity degree and the severity of liver fibrosis were found out. Indices of non-specific reactivity, endogenous intoxication and inflammation in the course of СVHC, their dependence on treatment were studied. Correlations between the values of non-specific reactivity, endogenous intoxication, inflammation and patients’ affiliation to the group of injecting drug users, the APRI score, the stage of liver fibrosis and the virus genotype were estimated. Significant increase in endogenous intoxication (LII, HII, ISS), non-specific immunoreactivity (IR, LMR, Ilymph, IA) and inflammation (ILG) at decrease in some endogenous intoxication indices (ISL, NRR) and inflammation (KI, ILESR) in patients with CHCV compared with healthy persons were established.
Result: The decrease in endogenous intoxication indices (LII; HII; ISL; ISS; NRR) were observed during antiviral treatment. Such unambiguous reaction of non-specific immunoreactivity indices and inflammation indices were not observed: some of them increased (Ilymph, IA), some of them decreased (IR, NLR; ELR). KI decreased during the treatment, but ILG increased. Direct correlation between patients’ affiliation to a group of injecting drug patients and the values of HII, NRR (p<0.05), between the APRI score and Ilymph level (p<0.05) was identified.
Conclusion: No correlation between the indices values and fibrosis severity (according to METAVIR) and virus genotype was found.

Objective: Clinical clerkship students, as adolescent health workers, have been first recipients of the COVID-19 vaccination programme. The success rate and trust of recipients in the program have been impacted by adverse events following immunization (AEFI). This study aims to determine the AEFI of the CoronaVac vaccine among clinical clerkship students at the Faculty of Medicine, State Islamic University, Jakarta.
Material and Methods: This study used cross sectional methods with a total of 225 subjects completing a questionnaire. The CoronaVac vaccine was administered twice with 2 week interval. AEFI was evaluated after 30 minutes, 24 hours, and on the third day.
Results and discussion: 73.3% of the participants were female, 20-25 years old. AEFIs were found in 57.8 % of all participants in the first and second doses vaccination. The most common local AEFI was pain at the site injection, accounting 27.1 % which occurred 30 minutes after second dose vaccination. The most common systemic AEFI was drowsiness, accounting for 18 % which occurred 24 hours after first dose vaccination. Other systemic AEFIs were headache, fatigue, and chills. There was significant association between AEFIs and females but no significant association with history of allergy, comorbidities, and history of previous COVID-19 . AEFIs were mild, no special treatment or hospitalization were required.
Conclusion: The AEFIs of the CoronaVac vaccine among students were mild and had significant association with females. The study is expected to increase the public’s confidence in the COVID-19 vaccination program and to create awareness of its safety.

Authors: Kudaibergenova Sandugash , Madaliyeva Zabira , Baimoldina Laura , Sadykova Nazira , Sadvakassova Zukhra
Published: June 2023

Objective: The development of a paradigm for enhancing the emotional state of service members and a method for identifying their negative states as a result of psychological stresses is of the utmost importance in the context of today’s pressing issues. To that end, the purpose of this study is to develop and subjectively test the effectiveness of a procedure for identifying negative emotional states in service members (cadets from Kazakhstan’s military institutes).
Materials and methods: A two-stage procedure is proposed to identify a risk group for negative emotional states. The methodology for identifying negative emotional states is divided into two stages: screening and deep.
Results and discussion: It will be discussed how the algorithm performed when tested on a sample of cadets from two military universities in Kazakhstan. According to the results, nearly all the people in the sample studied (approximately 95%) exhibited relatively positive indicators of psychological health, including low levels of depression, aggression, and anxiety. Negative emotional states were present in 5% of the service members. Additional ongoing dynamic assessment and monitoring of the risk group is required.
Conclusion: The obtained results provide sufficient evidence to discuss how the proposed algorithm could be used. The research has practical value because it can be used to implement the applied method at training ranges in the contemporary military era.

Published: June 2023

Background: Nowadays, Health Care Professionals’ (HCPs) are increasingly using mobile phones which may act as reservoirs and vector for transmission of pathogens. The presence of multidrug resistant nosocomial microbes on the surface of mobile phones used by HCPs in hospitals can pose a great public health threat. So, this research was conducted to identify the concerned multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria and also to explore the recent status of bacterial contamination on mobile phones of HCPs in the Jashore region of Bangladesh and determine their antibiotic resistance pattern.
Methods: Swab samples of mobile phones were collected between June and September 2019 from 24 different users (i.e., manager, worker, doctor and nurse) associated to four distinct hospitals of Jashore region, Bangladesh. After suitable morphological and biochemical identification, we determined their antimicrobial susceptibility by Kirby- Bauer disc diffusion method by using 18 antibiotics for Gram positive bacteria and 19 antibiotics for Gram negative bacteria. Later, the MDR isolates were grouped by amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis (ARDRA) and 16S rRNA sequencing with phylogeny were performed to confirm the bacteria at species level.
Results: A total of 38 bacterial isolates were obtained from the sample. Enterobacter spp. isolates showed maximum resistance against Amoxicillin, followed by Ampicillin and Aztreonam (80% each) and one isolate showed highest antibiotic resistance (15 out of 19) among all the isolates. In addition, Staphylococcus spp. and Exiguobacterium spp. isolates showed 100% resistance against Penicillin, Ampicillin, Oxacillin, Erythromycin, Lincomycin and Cefotaxime. On the contrary, all of the isolates of Escherichia spp., Bacillus spp., Proteus spp. were sensitive to all tested antibiotics. Surprisingly, 20 MDR isolates were showing resistance to at least 2 antibiotics. Subsequently, three distinct genera of these MDR isolates were identified by ARDRA; the strains Enterobacter cloacae (75%), Staphylococcus warneri (15%) and Exiguobacterium aurantiacum (10%) were confirmed by the 16S rRNA phylogenetic analysis.
Conclusion: We found that cell phones can act as reservoirs of multidrug-resistant pathogens, causative agents for Hospital-acquired infections. An effective hygiene practice for health care personnel should be introduced to prevent the cross-contamination by their cell phone

A Study of Coronary Heart Patients’ Lifestyle at Zainoel Abidin Hospital, Banda Aceh, Indonesia
Authors: Marniati - , Notoatmodjo Soekidjo , Kasiman Sutomo , Rochadi R Kintoko
Published: June 2023

Background: About 40% of heart disease patients do not realize they have coronary heart disease (CHD). Based on the lifestyle of people in Aceh, several factors can increase the CHD risk, such as smoking, coffee, fatty foods, stress, and lack of physical activity. Such a lifestyle has the potential to increase the risk of CHD, as evidenced by statistical papers reporting high levels of CHD cases in Aceh. This study was aimed to review the patients’ lifestyle with coronary heart disease at Zainoel Abidin Hospital, Banda Aceh, Indonesia.
Method: This research is quantitative, with a case-control design. In April 2017, 206 cases of CHD and 206 non-PJK cases were analyzed, using the patient’s medical record and a lifestyle questionnaire, in Zainoel Abidin Hospital. The result of bivariate analysis through a chi-square test showed that lifestyle factors related to CHD included diet, physical activity, smoking, coffee, and stress control (p<0,05).
Result: The results of the multivariate analysis with logistic regression showed that smoking is a lifestyle that remains consistent as a risk factor for CHD. In addition, after interacting with other risk factors, stress control and coffee drinking habits become a protective factor of CHD. Smokers are twice risky to have CHD than nonsmokers.
Conclusion: The influence of lifestyle on CHD is also determined by age and income factors. The research implications of this study offer various parties the opportunity to pursue active involvement in preventive efforts against CHD.

Composition and Community Structure of Plant Species in A Secondary Growth Forest in the Central Philippines
Authors: Aureo WA , Jr TD Reyes
Published: June 2023

Mt. Bandila-an Forest Reserve (MBFR) is among the remaining areas with patches of closed forests in Siquijor. This forest reserve is one of the potential key biodiversity areas in Central Visayas, yet the vegetation is not fully documented. This study was conducted to determine the species composition and diversity of plant species. Eight randomly distributed nested plots, each with a dimension of 20m×100m and subdivided to 5 equal segments of 20m×20m, were established. A total of 188 plant species was recorded from the plots, representing 131 tree species, 23 shrub, 14 vine, 11 herb, and 9 fern species. Common plant families with more than 6 representative species were Moraceae, Rubiaceae, Fabaceae, Araceae, Euphorbiaceae, Meliaceae and Myrtaceae. There were 19 threatened (vulnerable to critically endangered) and 33 endemic species recorded in the forest reserve highlighting the importance to further conserve the area. The cluster analysis and species accumulation curve suggest that plant species are not homogeneously distributed which implies that different management and conservation strategies should be implemented across MBFR. These results not only indicate the importance of MBFR, but also highlight areas with higher diversity and concentration of threatened and endemic species as a special area of concern.

Published: June 2023

This research was conducted to identify the influence of job insecurity and grit toward work engagement on 276  hospitality employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. It consisted of 81 male respondents and 195 female respondents. The sampling technique used was the purposive sampling technique, which has specific criteria. Those criteria are hospitality workers in hotels, the food and beverage industry, administration, marketing, travel, transportation, and housekeeping companies in Jakarta. This research used three measurement tools, namely, the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (17 items; a = .856), the Job Insecurity Scale (9 items; a = .887), and the Grit Scale (12 items; a = .797). Multiple linear regression was used as a data analysis method. The findings indicated that during the COVID-19 pandemic, job insecurity and grit had an impact on the level of work engagement among hospitality employees. Job insecurity and grit both significantly affect how motivated people are at work in the hospitality industry. Employees’ job insecurity and grit have a positive relationship that can raise the value of work engagement. Therefore, decreasing job insecurity calls for high levels of grit and work engagement to keep employee positions within the organization. The strongest correlation was found between the dimensions of grit (perseverance of effort) and work engagement (dedication). Unlike this research, which was conducted on hospitality workers, the previous research was conducted on general workers. They expected the best performance, including maintaining a friendly smile and offering the best service in all circumstances while the pandemic was ongoing.
Interpersonal Communication Model on Parenting with Adolescent

Published: June 2023

The role of parents becomes relational reframing for adolescents; with all the turmoil and characteristics that adolescents have, communication between parents and adolescents is the key to success in the parenting process. This study aims to prove the interpersonal models of parents-adolescents who are influenced by self-compassion and self-disclosure, either directly or indirectly. The method of this study is a quantitative correlation, with the sampling technique purposive sampling. The participants of the study numbered 287 parents, consisting of 98 fathers and 189 mothers. The instruments used are ICS (Interpersonal Communication Scale) by Campbell (2006), SCS (Self-Compassion Scale) by Neff (2003), and Self-Disclosure Scale by Whells & Grotz (1997). The analysis showed that the interpersonal communication model was proven to influence self-compassion and self-disclosure directly. However, self-disclosure does not prove to be a mediator variable between self-compassion and interpersonal communication. The score showed that self-compassion - interpersonal communication had an influence of β = 0.399 (39.9%) with p = 0.000, and self-disclosure - interpersonal communication had an influence of β = 0.282 (28.2%) with p = 0.007. The demographic analysis also found that fathers have higher self-compassion than mothers. At the educational level, it also shows differences in the level of interpersonal communication skills, self-compassion, and self-disclosure.

Volunteers participate in charitable activities sincerely without any certain expectations. Concerning this volunteerism, this study aims to investigate the influence of character strength on happiness in environmental and educational volunteers. Employing Seligman's happiness scale as a measurement instrument (α = 0.615) and Peterson and Seligman's (α = 0. 976) Value in Action - Inventory of Strength (VIA-IS) as a measurement instrument to determine character strength, 99 volunteers working in environmental and educational fields of voluntary organizations were recruited. The inclusion criteria for recruiting these participants included male or female participants over 18 years old, active at the organizations for at least six months, unmarried, and living in Yogyakarta. All obtained data were analyzed by using a Spearman correlation analysis technique and a regression analysis technique. The results of this study showed that some of the most influential types of character strength on happiness were leadership (r = 0.354, p = 0.000), appreciation of beauty and excellence (r = 0.337, p = 0.001), gratitude (r = 0.311, p = 0.002), forgiveness (r = 0.305, p = 0.002), and open-mindedness (r = 0.301, p = 0.002). In addition, types of character strength significantly influencing happiness are closely related to collectivistic culture.

Personal Growth Initiative (PGI) refers to the change process done on purpose and reflects how a person changes and develops himself throughout his life span. University students, who are in the phase of emerging adulthood, will face many demanding and challenging events, so this is inevitably an opportunity for them to develop their potential to become fully functioning people. Various factors can encourage personal growth, namely optimism, internal locus of control, and general self-efficacy; besides, socio-demographic factors such as age, birth order in the family, parent's education, parent's occupation, and the semesters already attended at university. The instrument used is the Personal Growth Initiative Scale, the Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R) to measure optimism, the Internal Locus of Control scale, and the New General Self-Efficacy Scale (NGSE). Through hierarchical regression analysis, the research findings show that general self-efficacy is the strongest predictor of personal growth initiatives, followed by locus of control and optimism. In addition, the socio-demographic data that consistently shows the role of personal growth initiatives is the participants' attended semesters with a negative orientation. The participants' decreasing motivation likely caused the finding due to the increasing number of attended semesters.

There are many cases of violence among adolescent girls who have experienced violence in dating in Indonesia. Even though dating violence is painful, adolescent girls can grow in a way called posttraumatic growth after the event. Spirituality can help people find meaning and purpose in their lives, which may help them recover from trauma. This study aims to determine the significance of the role of spirituality on posttraumatic growth in adolescent girls who have experienced dating violence. This study uses a quantitative approach with DSES to measure spirituality (α=0.932) and PTGI-SF to measure posttraumatic growth (α=0.812). Participants in this study were adolescent girls (15-25 years old) with dating violence experience (N = 309). The result shows that spirituality was crucial for posttraumatic development (R² = 0.156, p =.000). The results of this study can be helpful as a reference for conducting interventions targeted at adolescent girls to increase their spirituality and knowledge of healthy relationships.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, 8 haftalık futbol antrenmanının genç futbolcularda hız, çeviklik, dayanıklılık ve kuvvet performansına olan etkisini incelemek ve alt ekstremite kuvvet düzeylerine bakılarak Fleksör/Extensör Hamstring/Kuadriseps tepe tork (H/Q) ve Dominant/Non dominant (D/ND) bacak kuvvetlerini sapma oranlarıyla sakatlık riskini tespit etmektir. Bu doğrultuda U19 takımında yer alan yirmi dört profesyonel erkek futbolcu (yaş;18.41±1.20 yıl, vücut ağırlığı; 74.61±4.32 kg, boy; 179.62±8.14 cm, beden kütle indeksi; 23.36±4.10 kg/m2) çalışmaya dâhil edilmiştir. Futbol antrenmanın etkilerini belirlemede Yo-Yo testi (aerobik dayanıklılık), 10 m ve 30 m sprint testleri (hız), çeviklik testi, leg extension, sağ leg extension, sol leg extension, leg curl, leg press, triceps pushdown, barbell curl ve chest press hareketlerinin tekrarlı maksimal kuvvetleri ölçülmüştür. Ön ve son-test deneysel dizaynı ile yürütülen çalışmada ölçümler, antrenman programı öncesi ve 8 hafta sonrasında alınmıştır. Ek olarak futbolcuların antrenmanın öncesi ve sonrasında Fleksör/Extensör (H/Q) ve Dominant/Nondominant (D/ND) bacak kuvvet oranları hesaplanmıştır. Ön ve son-test değişkenleri arasındaki farklılık düzeyinin belirlenmesinde "Paired-Samples t Tests" uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen verilerle antrenman sonrasında, antrenman öncesine kıyasla dayanıklılık (Yo-Yo), 30m (hız), çeviklik ve 1 tekrarlı maksimal kuvvet performansı parametrelerinde anlamlı farklılıklar olduğu (p<0.05) belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, futbolculara uygulanan antrenmanın öncesi ve sonrasında H/Q ve D/ND bacak kuvvet oranlarını optimal düzeye yaklaştığından futbol antrenmanının sakatlık riskini azaltılabileceği tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak düzenli olarak uygulanan futbol antrenmanlarının performansın aerobik dayanıklılık, maksimal kuvvet, hız bileşenlerini artırdığı ve sakatlanma riskini azalttığı söylenebilir.

Decolonising Global Solidarity: The WHO’s Broken Alarm and Epidemiological Nationalism
Authors: Lee Po-Han
Published: June 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has traumatised world leaders, leading people to question the capability and accountability of global health governance. Against this background, we have heard multiple calls to strengthen ‘solidarity’ within and between states – which, weirdly, is practised by keeping a distance from ‘Others’ through, for instance, social distancing, lockdowns, and border control. In this paper, I first introduce the post-World War II international pandemic response regime, especially the International Health Regulations 2005, using the multiple positions of the Republic of China and/or Taiwan to illustrate the prioritisation of national sovereignty over health justice. In and beyond this context, I conceptualise epidemiological nationalism, which contains three dimensions (territorial, affective, and epistemic) to critically examine the responses to COVID-19 from the WHO and different states. This concept enables us to analyse the solidarity-through-distancing practices from a decolonial perspective to deconstruct the contemporary global health regime. The regime is underpinned by the coloniality of modern epidemiology, which creates the hierarchies between nations and races imposed on the making and working of geographical, population, and disease categories by racialising diseases and response measures. Such racialisation practices vary in different contexts and are often tied to states’ securitisation practices, which justify the exclusion of minority communities.

The use of environmentally damaging petrochemical feedstocks can be displaced by fermentation processes based on engineered microbial chassis that recycle biomass-derived carbon into chemicals and fuels. The stable retention of introduced genes, designed to extend product range and/or increase productivity, is essential. Accordingly, we have created multiply marked auxotrophic strains of Clostridium acetobutylicum that provide distinct loci (pyrE, argH, purD, pheA) at which heterologous genes can be rapidly integrated using allele-coupled exchange (ACE). For each locus, ACE-mediated insertion is conveniently selected on the basis of the restoration of prototrophy on minimal media. The Clostridioides difficile gene (tcdR) encoding an orthogonal sigma factor (TcdR) was integrated at the pyrE locus under the control of the lactose-inducible, bgaR::PbgaL promoter to allow the simultaneous control of genes/operons inserted at other disparate loci (purD and pheA) that had been placed under the control of the PtcdB promoter. In control experiments, dose-dependent expression of a catP reporter gene was observed with increasing lactose concentration. At the highest doses tested (10 mM) the level of expression was over 10-fold higher than if catP was placed directly under the control of bgaR::PbgaL and over 2-fold greater than achieved using the strong Pfdx promoter of the Clostridium sporogenes ferredoxin gene. The utility of the system was demonstrated in the production of isopropanol by the C. acetobutylicum strain carrying an integrated copy of tcdR following the insertion of a synthetic acetone operon (ctfA/B, adc) at the purD locus and a gene (sadh) encoding a secondary dehydrogenase at pheA. Lactose induction (10 mM) resulted in the production of 4.4 g/L isopropanol and 19.8 g/L Isopropanol-Butanol-Ethanol mixture.
Clinical outcomes of chronic heart failure patients with unsuppressed sleep apnea by positive airway pressure therapy

Published: June 2023

Introduction

Heart failure (HF) is an advanced stage of cardiac disease and is associated with a high rate of mortality. Previous studies have shown that sleep apnea (SA) is associated with a poor prognosis in HF patients. Beneficial effects of PAP therapy that is effective on reducing SA on cardiovascular events, were not yet established. However, a large-scale clinical trial reported that patients with central SA (CSA) which was not effectively suppressed by continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) revealed poor prognosis. We hypothesize that unsuppressed SA by CPAP is associated with negative consequences in patients with HF and SA, including either obstructive SA (OSA) or CSA.

Methods

This was a retrospective observational study. Patients with stable HF, defined as left ventricular ejection fraction of ≤50%; New York Heart Association class ≥ II; and SA [apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) of ≥15/h on overnight polysomnography], treated with CPAP therapy for 1 month and performed sleep study with CPAP were enrolled. The patients were classified into two groups according to AHI on CPAP (suppressed group: residual AHI ≥ 15/h; and unsuppressed group: residual AHI < 15/h). The primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause death and hospitalization for HF.

Results

Overall, data of 111 patients including 27 patients with unsuppressed SA, were analyzed. The cumulative event-free survival rates were lower in the unsuppressed group during a period of 36.6 months. A multivariate Cox proportional hazard model showed that the unsuppressed group was associated with an increased risk for clinical outcomes (hazard ratio 2.30, 95% confidence interval 1.21–4.38, p = 0.011).

Conclusion

Our study suggested that in patients with HF and SA including either OSA or CSA, presence of unsuppressed SA even on CPAP was associated with worse prognosis as compared to those with suppressed SA by CPAP.
