Authors: Sirikururattakorn Nasikarn , Sonsuphap Rattaphong , Pongpanich Kiatichai
Published: January 2025

The global elderly population is increasing, with Thailand in Asia also experiencing a rise in its elderly demographic (Kungsung, 2021). The aim of the research is to provide a comprehensive understanding of how to support an aging society in Thailand. This qualitative research, conducted in February 2023, involved interviews with eight respondents selected through purposive sampling. Documentary and content analysis methods were employed for data analysis. The findings of the research are organized into three primary themes: 1) government readiness and policy effectiveness in handling an aging society, focusing on comprehensive strategies to address the challenges and opportunities of a growing elderly population; 2) preparedness of entrepreneurs in tailoring services for the elderly, highlighting the adaptation of business services and products to meet the needs of older adults; and 3) the critical role of individual financial preparedness for aging, emphasizing the necessity of personal financial planning and savings. By integrating these themes, the research provides a holistic view of the multifaceted approach needed to support an aging population in Thailand. It offers insights into supporting an aging population, encompassing government policy, private sector adaptation, and personal financial strategies.
Evidencias de validez e invarianza factorial de la Nueva Escala de Satisfacción Sexual – Breve en universitarios
Authors: Cuadros-León Wendie , Peralta-Eugenio Gutember
Published: January 2025

La satisfacción sexual es un elemento muy importante en la salud sexual, la sexualidad humana, la felicidad y el bienestar a nivel general. En consecuencia, es clave medir y comprender la primera para evaluar a estas últimas; además, ya que la satisfacción sexual varía según el sexo, necesario usar un instrumento que permita medir la variable en ambos sexos. Por ello, el objetivo de lapresente investigación es analizar la invarianza factorial de la “Nueva escala de satisfacción sexual”, versión corta (NSSS-S, por sus siglas en inglés) en función al sexo. Se utilizó una muestra de 322 estudiantes universitarios (varones 53.1% y mujeres 46.9%) de 3 universidades de Huaraz, Perú. Los hallazgos sugieren que el modelo bidimensional (individual e interpersonal/actividad) de la NSSS-S presenta adecuados bondes de ajuste en las puntuaciones (X2 /gl = 4.12; CFI = .94; SRMR = .042), con pesos factoriales superiores a .69; el análisis factorial confirmatorio multigrupo mostró que la estructura factorial de dos dimensiones es posible para ambos sexos, y que la fiabilidad es buena para ambas dimensiones (ω = .89 y .92). La versión en español de la NSSS-S posee adecuadas evidencias de validez y confiabilidad para medir la variable satisfacción sexual en una muestra de universitarios de ambos sexos. Sin embargo, aún debe comprobarse en distintos ámbitos del Perú.

Published: January 2025

Wetland ecosystem is rapidly changing due to human activities and climate change, leading to concerns about biodiversity loss and ecosystem function degradation. Study on the flora of wetlands is essential for conservation and sustainable management. This study analyzes the plant habitats in Gochang Ungok Wetland and Gochang Incheon River Estuary to provide baseline data for wetland protection and management strategies. In Gochang Ungok Wetland, 534 taxa were identified, including endangered two, vulnerable three, and least concern six taxa by Korean red list. Two endangered species and three invasive species were confirmed. In Gochang Incheon River Estuarine Wetland, 400 taxa were identified, including one endangered and three least concern taxa by Korean Red List. Three invasive species were confirmed. The analysis shows that Gochang Ungok Wetland has a higher proportion of wetland plants and greater species diversity compared to Incheon River Estuary. Both wetlands are well-managed, but there is a need to control ornamental and crop species and manage invasive species like common ragweed and bur cucumber. Continuous monitoring and systematic management plans are required to protect valuable species and prevent ecological disturbances.

Authors: Rasmussen Claus , Larsen Jesper Walther , Holm Peter C.W. , Nielsen Gunnar L.
Published: January 2025

Diabetes affects approximately 6% of the population, with 20% developing foot ulcers. Gout affects about 3% of the population, but <40% receive sufficient urate-lowering therapy to prevent or dissolve urate crystal (tophi) deposition in the feet, which can ulcerate and become infected. Among patients with diabetes, 20% also have gout. This study aimed to assess adherence to recommended gout treatment in patients with diabetes and to compare usual care with initial care provided by a nurse-led gout care program. In patients with diabetes, gout is frequently undertreated, particularly when not initially managed in a nurse-led gout care program.

Diabetes affects approximately 6% of the population, with 20% developing foot ulcers. Gout affects about 3% of the population, but <40% receive sufficient urate-lowering therapy to prevent or dissolve urate crystal (tophi) deposition in the feet, which can ulcerate and become infected. Among patients with diabetes, 20% also have gout. This study aimed to assess adherence to recommended gout treatment in patients with diabetes and to compare usual care with initial care provided by a nurse-led gout care program. In patients with diabetes, gout is frequently undertreated, particularly when not initially managed in a nurse-led gout care program. Key Points · Most patients with gout receive suboptimal urate-lowering treatment to prevent or dissolve urate deposits (tophi). · In this study, among patients with diabetes and gout, 67% maintained urate levels to prevent tophi. However, 50% of patients with diabetes presented with tophi, and after 2 years, only 45% achieved the lower urate level necessary to dissolve tophi. · Gout in patients with diabetes is often inadequately managed, leading to the persistence of tophi, which may mimic foot ulcers.

Authors: Breivik Anne , E. Kopperud Simen , Khan Qalbi , Mulic Aida , Stein Linda
Published: January 2025

Objective: This study aimed to gain knowledge of general oral health preventive measures with a specific focus on root caries preventive measures for patients ≥65 years old, performed by Norwegian dental hygienists in public and private dental health services. A secondary aim was to investigate differences and challenges in prevention practices. 
Materials and methods: An electronic survey was conducted among the sample in 2022. A total of 365 dental hygienists were included in the analyses. Chi-square tests were used to analyze differences between private and public dental hygienists regarding preventive measures and perceived challenges. 
Results: The most frequently reported general oral health preventive measures were oral hygiene instruction, professional tooth cleaning and scaling. Oral hygiene instruction and application of fluoride varnish were the most performed root caries preventive measure, and reduced manual dexterity in patients was the most perceived challenge. Public dental hygienists perceived challenges to a greater extent than private dental hygienists, particularly related to reduced mobility and ergonomic difficulties in patients. 
Conclusion: This study confirms dental hygienists’ important role in oral health promotion and showed that Norwegian dental hygienists performed a wide range of preventive measures for patients ≥65 years old. However, a number of challenges were identified in the preventive work.

Published: January 2025

Background: This study was conducted to determine the level of knowledge, attitude, and utilization of Prevention of
Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV (PMTCT) services among pregnant and HIV-Positive postpartum women living in Enugu
Metropolis, Nigeria.
Methods: It is a cross-sectional descriptive survey design involving 96 participants who were recruited from selected nine
(9) healthcare centers in Enugu between October and November 2023. Data collection was through structured questionnaire
interviews that focused on awareness and knowledge of PMTCT services, respondents’ attitudes towards PMTCT, and service
utilization patterns.
Results: The study indicated a high level of awareness (85.4%) and knowledge (79.1%) of PMTCT services among study
participants. Fair (65.6%) attitudes towards PMTCT services were predominant. Statistically significant associations were
observed between attitude and education (χ² = 15.663, df = 6, p=0.016) and occupation status (χ² = 18.125, df = 6, p=0.006).
PMTCT service utilization by 55.2% of participants, took place during pregnancy and post-delivery; and ART was the most
utilized PMTCT service (70.8%). There was a significant association between knowledge of PMTCT and utilization of PMTCT
services (χ² = 38.299, df = 6, p = 0.000). Availability of PMTCT facilities and HIV stigmatization were the major facilitator and
barrier to PMTCT service utilization respectively.
Conclusion: This study presents the need for targeted provider driven interventions aimed at addressing misconceptions and
improving PMTCT services coverage and enhance maternal and child health outcomes in this population of interest.

Bangladeshi Finches with their Evolutionary Thoughts (Aves: Passeriformes)
Authors: Kabir Ashraful
Published: January 2025

Finches are the group of evolutionary birds with numerous individuals in the world. Keen observation on their overall
behaviour, dry- and wet-preserved museum specimens as well as very sharp online images helped to focus their evolutionary
divergence especially on beak sizes and beak types. Out of 18 finches of Bangladesh, the members in the family Estrildidae (munias) showed the highest 6 (33.33%) then Emberizidae 5 (27.78%). All finches were sexually dimorphic except scalybreasted munia (Lonchura punctulata). Since, beaks of finches are conical (seed eating type) but due to different types of
seeds in different places, their beaks are slightly modified. Beaks of weaver birds are also conical but for nesting ability their
larger beaks help more to do this act. Except weaver bird (like mangrove finch of Galapagos Islands), other types of beaks in this group were somewhat (sharp-beaked, medium) Darwin’s ground finches. All finches exhibited least concern (LC) only yellow-breasted bunting was vulnerable (VU) perspective Bangladesh.

Exploring the Correlation between Insomnia and Iron Deficiency: Implications and Insights
Authors: S Rathore
Published: January 2025

Iron-deficiency Anaemia constitutes a significant public health burden in rural settings, particularly within low- and middleincome countries (LMICs). It is characterized by erythrocyte (red blood cell) deficiency or low haemoglobin concentration;
this condition can lead to severe morbidity, especially impacting vulnerable populations like children and pregnant women.
Anaemia, manifested by depleted haemoglobin levels, is associated with a variety of clinical presentations including fatigue
and asthenia, which can disrupt sleep architecture. Delineating the established association between Anaemia and sleep
disturbances has the potential to inform the development of comprehensive interventions aimed at improving overall health
outcomes in rural populations. Numerous recent studies examining genome-wide associations have indicated that there
may be genetic similarities between Anaemia and Insomnia. So, an increased risk of insomnia in adults was found to be
substantially correlated with Anaemia.

Published: January 2025

The family Arecaceae is a great source of food. Many species of this family provide valuable timber and also fiber used in rope,
paper and textile industries. Comparative morphological and phytochemical studies on the seeds extracts of Cocos nucifera and
Elaeis guineensis were evaluated to identify their physical characteristics and secondary metabolites using standard methods.
Morphological study was carried out by visual observation and standard techniques were used for phytochemical study. The
data was analyzed using ANOVA and Duncan’s Multiple Range Test was used to separate the means. Data was presented in
mean ± standard deviation. Results showed some resemblances and differences between the two species. Morphological result
indicated that both had the same habit, leaf arrangement and leaf venation. Both also had the investigated phytochemical
except tannins and alkaloids that were absent in E. guineensis. Higher phenolic content (41.72 ± 1.03 mg GAE/100g) and
flavonoids (142.88 ± 4.14 mg CE/100g), were observed in E. guineensis while C. nucifera demonstrated a higher tannins level
(35.82 ± 1.00 mg TAE/100g). In conclusion, slight similarities justified their placement in the same family Arecaceae, while the
differences explained their placement in different genus and species. Higher phenolic and flavonoids contents indicated that
E. guineensis is more suitable for antioxidant applications, while presence of tannins and alkaloids in C. nucifera suggested its
applications in antimicrobial purposes.

Authors: Eldin Shaltout Fahim Aziz
Published: January 2025

The Meat ingredients are a valuable part of the human diet as the meat contains essential elements such as meat protein,
meat vitamins, and meat minerals. The meat ingredients products types are vulnerable to the microbial meat ingredients
pathogens and the meat ingredients spoilage, posing significant risks to the public health and the social meat ingredients
quality and safety. The Ionizing radiation method is used in the irradiated meat ingredients to maintain the meat ingredients
safety and meat ingredients quality of the consumed meat ingredients products types specifically the beef meat ingredients.
During recent decades, the irradiation method of the meat ingredients products reduces the microbial meat contamination
and extends the storage period of the meat ingredients. The procedure entails exposing the meat ingredients products types
to a regulated amount of the ionizing radiation method, mostly accomplished by applying the gamma rays method, the
electron beams method, or the X rays method.. The radiation causes disrupts the DNA and other cellular components of the
microbes contaminating the meat ingredients, making the microbes unable to reproduce and causing death of the microbial
contamination. The procedure causes breaks down some of the molecules of the meat ingredients which can affect the meat
nutritional quality and meat ingredients sensory characters.

POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS DE CAPACITAÇÃO E APOIO PSICOLÓGICO DESTINADO A PROFESSORES DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL E SEUS REFLEXOS NA EXPERIÊNCIA ESCOLAR DE ALUNOS NEURODIVERGENTES
Authors: Castro Yandra Katiuscia Moreira de , Lelis Henrique Rodrigues
Published: January 2025

As relações entre as crianças e as figuras responsáveis pelos cuidados e pela sua educação são fortes mediadoras do desenvolvimento infantil, e no ambiente escolar essas relações se tornam ainda mais decisivas. Nesse ambiente, o professor, que por definição já é exposto a um contexto de forte cobrança e de alto desgaste emocional, físico e psicológico, passa a representar uma figura de autoridade, bem como uma figura de responsabilidade e de suporte psicossocial para as crianças, e muitas vezes esses profissionais sofrem com esse desgaste e com a carência de suporte emocional para lidar com essa sobrecarga. Nesse sentido políticas públicas como a Política Nacional de Atenção Psicossocial nas Comunidades Escolares precisam ser reforçadas e desenvolvidas em plenitude, para que os profissionais da educação básica possam promover suas atividades de maneira segura, mentalmente saudável, e eficaz. Desta forma, a capacitação e o suporte psicológico podem favorecer em muito o ensino e aprendizagem, especialmente no contexto de crianças neurodivergentes, que representam um maior desafio nas relações professor-aluno, e que também demandam cuidados e estratégias específicas para que o ensino seja adequadamente desenvolvido. Com o objetivo de entender o estado da arte sobre as políticas públicas de capacitação e apoio psicológico destinado a professores do ensino fundamental, e seus reflexos na experiência escolar de alunos neurodivergentes, o trabalho promove um estudo qualitativo, na forma de uma revisão de literaturas, que, através de materiais reunidos em meio eletrônico, promoveu uma maior compreensão sobre a problemática estudada. Ficou evidenciada a importância da capacitação e do apoio psicológico para os professores, bem como a urgência em fomentar ainda mais a aplicação das políticas públicas para a oferta desse suporte em busca de um ensino mais saudável e adequado para alunos neurodivergentes.
Important Stage in the Development of Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery and Its Science: Bariatric Surgery Cases and Reviews: A New Peer-Reviewed Journal
Authors: Reiti Andrian , Fesenko Ievgen
Published: January 2025

The purpose of this inaugural editorial is to introduce to the attention of the global surgical community a new open access and peer-reviewed journal titled Bariatric Surgery Cases and Reviews (BSCR). The term “bariatrics” was coined in 1961 by Dr. Raymond E. Dietz, from the Greek root “bar-” (“weight”), suffix “-iatr” (“treatment”), and suffix “-ic” (“pertaining to”). And the goal of bariatric surgeries is to modify the stomach and intestines to treat obesity and related diseases. Bariatric surgery is rapidly developing in the world in general and in Ukraine in particular. According to data, around the globe, the number of performed bariatric surgeries has doubled in 8 years. So, this journal is designed to meet the need of authors for a highly specialized journal dedicated specifically to the publication of case and review articles in metabolic and bariatric surgery. Together with the publisher, OMF Publishing, our editorial team adopted a publishing model that allows articles to be published in the Article in Press status immediately after the review process and acceptance of the manuscript for publication. Thanks to article numbering, articles will not have to wait in line for typesetting but will be immediately published and assigned to a specific annual volume. Thus, similarly to other international open access journals, BSCR will operate in a continuous publication mode where articles are posted online as soon as they have completed the production process in a fully citable form with a digital object identifier (DOI). The article also provides an analysis of the publishing models of international surgical peer-reviewed journals with relevant conclusions for new journals. This paper sheds light on the process of choosing a name for a journal and the processes of state registration of a peer-reviewed online journal as an online media. Moreover, the original registration documents in Ukrainian are provided. In sum, we will paraphrase a quote from Noah Bowman: “Some people see surgeries as techniques, we see stories waiting to be told.” Thus, we sincerely invite national and foreign authors to submit their interesting manuscripts for peer review and further publication in this new unique bariatric and metabolic surgery journal.

Authors: Aquize Anco Eddy Wilmar , Romero Vargas Yemi Shomara , Rivera Mercado Karen Edith , Quispe Cayo Yudith Beatriz
Published: January 2025

Introduction: The style of coping with interpersonal conflicts significantly influences the consolidation or deterioration of friendships and family relationships. Therefore, it is essential to have instruments with adequate psychometric evidence to evaluate this coping style. Objective: This study aims to develop the Conflict Management Styles Scale (EMCO) for friendship and family contexts and to determine its validity based on content, construct, reliability, and equivalence through metric invariance across genders. Method: An instrumental study was conducted with 493 university students aged 18 to 43 years (M = 21, SD = 2.9), comprising 67.7% women and 32.3% men. A review by expert judges was performed, followed by exploratory factor analysis (EFA) with oblique rotation for both subscales and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using the WLSMV method with standard and robust indices. Internal consistency and metric invariance across genders were also assessed. Results: Regarding content validity, all initial items demonstrated adequate validity. In the EFA, both subscales yielded a five-factor solution, consistent with the CFA results. In the latter analysis, the "family" subscale achieved fit indices of CFI = 0.977, TLI = 0.975, SRMR = 0.064, and RMSEA = 0.061 [90% CI 0.056–0.065], while the "friends" subscale obtained CFI = 0.964, TLI = 0.962, SRMR = 0.072, and RMSEA = 0.068 [90% CI 0.065–0.072]. In terms of reliability, the "family" subscale showed ω = 0.856 and α = 0.845, and the "friends" subscale obtained ω = 0.879 and α = 0.877. Additionally, structural equivalence between men and women was demonstrated through metric invariance. Conclusion: The EMCO scale is concluded to present adequate evidence of content validity, construct validity, and reliability for assessing conflict management styles in university students.

Authors: Arias Gallegos Walter L , Rivera Renzo
Published: January 2025

Background:  In Peru, various instruments have been validated to evaluate variables associated with the family, but until recently there was no psychological test aimed at evaluating the family that had been created in the country. This study presents the psychometric development and applications of the Inventory of Family Integration (IFI) after ten years of construction, and this being the first and only instrument created in Peru that evaluates the family. Method: This research is a theoretical study. Results: It starts first from the review of the theoretical assumptions on which the instrument rests based on the construct of family integration that is inspired by the systemic family approach. Then, the studies carried out on the psychometric properties of the IFI are presented in chronological order, from its construction in 2013 to the recently published dyadic analysis in fathers and mothers. Finally, the planning of future psychometric research with this instrument is explained in a new stage of applied explorations in the field of psychometrics and the family, both nationally and internationally. Conclusions: The IFI has proven to be a robust and consistent instrument for assessing family integration, but its psychometric properties still need to be evaluated at national and international levels.

Authors: Bautista Valdivia Jhonny , Galán Jiménez Jaime Sebastián F , Estrada Aranda Benito Daniel
Published: January 2025

Background: Globally, 13% of children experience a mental disorder. Mental health problems in infancy are closely related to attachment, which serves as the primary bond within the family and forms the basis for personality development and mental health. In Mexico, research on infant mental health is limited. Objective: To determine the relationship between attachment styles and family mental health in indigenous populations from the southern Huasteca region of San Luis Potosí, Mexico. Method: A cross-sectional, descriptive, analytical, and correlational study. The study utilized the Reporting Questionnaire for Children (RQC), Self-Report Questionnaire (SRQ), Attachment Styles Classification Questionnaire (ASCQ), and Mental Health in Primary Care (MHQPHC). Results: The sample included 179 families with children aged 6 to 12. Sampling was conducted by appointment, selecting 35 families per locality; 58% of participants belonged to Indigenous communities, 92% were Nahuatl, and 2% were Tenek. Families from indigenous communities showed higher levels of avoidant attachment. Also, a significant relationship was identified between avoidant attachment and child mental health. A strong association was observed between the mental health of parents and children. Conclusions: Indigenous families experience disruptions in secure attachment processes due to migratory labor demands, leading to avoidant attachment styles.

Important for vocational students to achieve psychological well-being amidst technological developments that increase self-critical behaviour. Information overload, increased self-com, and other psychological health issues can increase self-critical behaviour. This can hinder the achievement of the six dimensions of psychological well-being. So, it is necessary to know the correlation between these two variables in vocational students. This study aims to determine the relationship between self-criticism on psychological well-being in vocational students. A total of 1812 students were included, and participants completed assessments of self‐criticism and psychological well-being. The result is self-criticism and psychological well-being is in a medium category with scores M = 60.34; SD = 2.86 and M = 118.48; SD = 2.53 sequentially. Analyses assessed the extent to which the intercept and linear slope of self‐criticism were associated with assessments of psychological well‐being. Findings suggest that a decrease in self-criticism is associated with better psychological well-being in vocational students. There was a relationship between self-criticism and psychological well-being. The implication of this finding suggests applying intervention with a focus on reducing self-criticism to improve student’s psychological well-being.

Published: January 2025

Emerging adulthood is a period of transition to early adulthood characterized by unstable conditions due to changes in many aspects of life. Psychological skills are needed that can help emerging adults face future challenges. This study aims to see the impact of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in improving subjective well-being and emotion regulation in emerging adults. The participants of this study consisted of eight persons. The criteria for participants in this study are individuals aged 17-19 years who did not show indications of anxiety, depression and stress disorders. The selection of these non-clinical criteria is intended so that healthy individuals can achieve better psychological conditions and as a preventive effort to avoid psychological disorders. The measuring instruments used in this study are the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) and The Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) Scale. The data analysis method used is paired sample t-test to measure the difference in the average score in the group before and after the intervention. The results of the analysis proved that there was a significant increase in subjective well-being scores between before and after the intervention by increasing the life satisfaction. On the other hand, there was no significant difference in emotion suppression scores, however there was a decrease in the use of expression suppression strategies in regulating emotions. The results also show there is a decrease in the use of cognitive reappraisal strategies in regulating emotions between before and after the intervention, but the decrease is not significant. This study provides implications for counseling practice with ACT based interventions to provide more skills in observing and defusion technique in regulating emotions so that ACT is expected to improve individuals’ emotion regulation abilities.
Religious Coping and Post-traumatic Growth among Women Survivor of Intimate Partner Violence: A Literature Review
Authors: Dinhudayah Zakiyah , Kilis Grace
Published: January 2025

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV)  refers to violence inflicted by partners that can result in traumatic consequences for the victim. IPV not only adversely affects both physical and mental health but could also enable individuals to achieve positive changes after trauma, a phenomenon recognized as Post Traumatic Growth (PTG). PTG is intricately linked with various factors, one noteworthy factor being coping strategies. Among these strategies, religious coping is a significant approach that individuals adopt when confronted with difficulties and challenges. This research seeks to conduct a literature review on studies related to understanding posttraumatic growth and examining the role of religious coping in the recovery process of individuals who have experienced IPV. The method of this reserach is based on the De Klerk & Pretorius (2019), which follows these steps: (1) selecting reserach topic, (2) finding relevant resources, (3) selecting key liteature (4) data extraction (5) analyzing data, (6) presenting the findings, and (7) drawing conclusions. A total of 23 articles from 2014 to 2024 were eligible and analyzed to explore the relationship between PTG and religious coping among IPV survivors. Results of the present review suggest that religious coping is associated with PTG by transforming meaning in life, using faith and religious practices as a source of personal strength, and improving relationships with others. These aspects are aligned with the domains of PTG, namely changes in outlook on life, perception of self, and experience of relationships with others.  This findings provides implications for practitioners to integrate religious coping strategies into the recovery process of IPV survivors to help them promote growth.

This study aims to elucidate the types and functions of dysphemism in the speech of four-year-old children. This research is warranted due to the prevalence of dysphemism observed in the social contexts of early childhood communication. The study employs a case study research design, with data obtained from the speech of four-year-old children that incorporates dysphemism. A qualitative methodology is adopted, utilizing a semantic perspective grounded in the theoretical framework established by Allan and Burridge regarding dysphemism. Data collection involved listening to and recording utterances that contained dysphemism. The observational method was employed for data gathering, with the fundamental technique being the tapping technique. Advanced techniques included listening, recording, and note-taking. The analysis of the data was conducted using the referential identity method, facilitating the determination of the reference of dysphemistic utterances. Furthermore, a distributional method was also applied in the analytical process. In this investigation, the types of dysphemism are analyzed in accordance with Allan and Burridge's theoretical framework. In addition, the types of dysphemisms are studied through Chaer's theory and the functions of dysphemisms proposed by Allan and Burridge. The most frequently employed type of dysphemism within the informants' speech is identified as cross-cultural dysphemism, while ist dysphemism is the least utilized. Among the functions of dysphemism, the predominant function observed in the informants' speech is the expression of anger, while the functions of cursing, allusion, and humiliating individuals are the least employed. The implications of this study underscore the significance of dysphemism in early childhood speech, indicating a need for support from the social environment to aid children in acquiring age-appropriate vocabulary.
Representasi Minangkabau Tabedo dalam Novel-Novel Pengarang Minangkabau Sesudah PRRI
Authors: Ronidin Ronidin , Sudibyo Sudibyo , Indrastuti Novi Siti Kussuji
Published: January 2025

This article is about the representation of Minangkabau tabedo in the novels of Minangkabau authors after PRRI (Pemerintahan Revolusioner Republik Indonesia). Minangkabau tabedo is a manifestation of the difficult and dilemmatic socio-ideological conditions faced by the Minangkabau people after PRRI. The data of this research are taken from the novels of Minangkabau authors after PRRI, namely Dari Puncak Bukit Talang by Soewardi Idris, Panggilan Tanah Kelahiran by Dt. B. Nurdin Jacub, Saraswati Si Gadis dalam Sunyi by A.A. Navis, Warisan by Chairul Harun, and Bako by Darman Moenir. The analysis of the novels is based on Lucien Goldmann's theory of genetic structuralism and its dialectical method, and is supported by Lotman's theory of narrative text regarding the elaboration of the structure of literary works as a conceptual construction centred on the idea of binary opposition. The findings of this article show that Minangkabau tabedo is a complex of ideas and worldviews of the author that are homologously expressed in the structure of the novel and the social structure of post-PRRI Minangkabau society. The representation of Minangkabau tebedo is seen through the changes taking place in Minangkabau society, such as the shift in Minangkabau family identity from matrilineal to patrilineal; changes in the behaviour of overseas Minangkabau who are uprooted from the roots of tradition, morality and religion; the diminishing role of traditional elites such as the mamak and alim ulama; the increasingly dominant role of fathers, eliminating the role of the mamak; the fading of communal culture and the development of individual lifestyles.
