Representativeness of the Swiss Diabetes Registry – a single centre analysis
Authors: Eichmüller Tobias , Renström Frida , Schimke Katrin , Brändle Michael
Published: July 2021

OBJECTIVE
The Swiss Diabetes Registry (SwissDiab) is a multicentre, longitudinal, observational study of outpatients with diabetes receiving treatment at tertiary care centres. The aim of this study was to evaluate the representativeness of the participants at the study centre in the Division of Endocrinology and Diabetes at the Cantonal Hospital of St Gallen by comparing diabetes-related characteristics of participating and nonparticipating patients.

METHODS
The study included 493 SwissDiab participants enrolled between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2016 and 640 nonparticipating patients treated at the centre during the same time period. For participants and nonparticipating patients, demographic characteristics, clinical findings, blood chemistry and medication were retrieved from the SwissDiab baseline visit and the medical record ±6 months from the first available outpatient visit to the clinic for diabetes-related care within the study period. Nonparticipating patients were further divided into three subgroups: (i) excluded from SwissDiab, or having received (ii) ≥6 months or (iii) <6 months of prior diabetes treatment at the centre. Differences in diabetes-related clinical characteristics were determined using simple bivariate (nonparametric) statistical analyses stratified by diabetes mellitus type 1 and type 2.

RESULTS
Compared with nonparticipants, participants smoked less (diabetes mellitus type 1: 24% vs 45%; diabetes mellitus type 2: 21% vs 29%), had higher educational attainment (diabetes mellitus type 1: 39% vs 21%; and diabetes mellitus type 2: 25% vs 18%) and lower glycated haemoglobin levels (diabetes mellitus type 1: 7.2% vs 7.8%; diabetes mellitus type 2: 7.2% vs 8.1%). In diabetes mellitus type 2, the proportion of females (30% vs 38%) and a migration background (36% vs 49%) were lower among participants. (All p-values <0.05.) In a stratified analysis SwissDiab participants had slightly better controlled diabetes than nonparticipating patients with ≥6 months of prior treatment, whereas the diabetes of patients recently referred to the clinic (with <6 months of prior treatment) and patients excluded from participation in SwissDiab were less well controlled.

CONCLUSION
The observed differences in clinical characteristics between study participants and nonparticipating patients indicate that SwissDiab is likely to overestimate the state of diabetes care and management. The results highlight the need to improve recruitment of females and patients with a migration background in diabetes mellitus type 2.

Authors: Basera Vitalis , Mwenje Judy
Published: July 2021

This paper aims at highlighting factors contributing to late adoption of quality management systems (QMS) in the Zimbabwe hotel industry. The research answered questions on: What are the internal factors affecting adoption of QMS in hotels; What are the external factors affecting adoption of QMS in the hotels. Hotel managers and key stakeholders in the hotel industry were interviewed to get data. Focus group discussions was used to get data from hotel staff members. Directed content analysis was used to analyse data. Some of the internal factors affecting adoption of QMS in the hotel industry in Zimbabwe identified are high staff and management turnover, absence of specialised quality function, poor remuneration of hotel employees and lack of financial resources. While some of the external factors identified are high taxes and licensing fees, industry over regulation, hyperinflation, and poor industry supporting infrastructure. The study recommended for creation of hotel industry stakeholder platform to enhance adoption of QMS in the hotel industry looking at how best to ease the identified factors. There is need for a review of hotel industry operating environment from regulator perspective so as to ease the operating environment which can improve the hotels sustainability.

Authors: UYSAL TORAMAN Aynur , EREN Deniz
Published: July 2021

Nüfusun yaşlanması dünya çapında bir eğilimdir. İnsanlar artık daha uzun yaşadıkça, sakatlığın önlenmesi, fiziksel fonksiyonların sürdürülmesi, kronik hastalıklardan kaynaklanan komplikasyonların önlenmesi ve yaşanacak yıllar yerine yıllara yaşam katmak daha önemli hale gelmiştir. Tüm bunları sağlamak için yaşlı nüfusun sağlığının geliştirilmesine yönelik yaklaşımlar değer kazanmıştır. Bu kapsamda sağlığının geliştirilmesine yönelik geliştirilen birçok model yaşlı bireylerde de kullanılmıştır. Özellikle son otuz yılda sağlığın geliştirilmesi kavramı farklı boyutları ile ele alınmıştır. Bu süreçte, strese ve zorluklara rağmen neden bazı insanlar sağlıklı kalırken, diğerlerinin kalamadığı gibi kritik bir soruya yönelik açıklamalar üretilmiş ve salutojenik model formüle edilmiştir. Model, hastalığa neden olan faktörlerden ziyade sağlığın nedenlerine odaklanan tıbbi bir yaklaşımdır. Spesifik olarak model, sağlık, stres ve başa çıkma arasındaki ilişki ile ilgilenmektedir. Sağlık hizmetlerinde, model sağlığın geliştirilmesi müdahalelerine rehberlik etmek ya da sağlık hizmeti araştırmalarını yönlendirmek amacıyla kullanılabilmektedir. Bunun için, salutogenez paradigması belirli kavramlar, varsayımlar ve araçlar sunmaktadır. Salutojenik modelin spesifik kavramlarının, daha sonra sağlık bakımı alanına uygulanmak üzere daha ayrıntılı olarak belirtilmesine ihtiyaç vardır. Model, teorik olarak yaşlı bireylerde sağlığı sürdürmek ve geliştirmek adına değerli katkılar sağlamasına rağmen, bilimsel çevrede yeterince tanınmamaktadır. Bu gerçeklerden yola çıkarak derlemede, salutojenik modelin temel kavramlarını açıklamak ve modelin yaşlı sağlığının geliştirilmesinde kullanımına ilişkin bilgiler sunmak amaçlanmıştır.

Published: July 2021

Introduction. Vaccination is the primary method of preventing hepatitis B (HBV). Immunization performed according to the standard schedule often provides protective level of antibodies against HBV. However, the frequency deviation of the immunization schedule in children due to unjustified medical contraindication is the current problem in Russia. At the same time, there is currently no clear strategy for patients with significant deviations of the vaccination schedule, especially regarding extending the interval between the first and third administration of the HBV vaccine. The aim is to evaluate the immunological effects of vaccination against hepatitis B in the vaccination schedule deviation in healthy children and children with chronic diseases. Materials and methods. Eighty-one 0.7-11.7 year child with a disrupted schedule of vaccination against HBV was observed. The children were divided into two groups: children vaccinated within 12-35 months (group 1, n = 48) and children immunized more than 36 months after the first vaccination (group 2, n = 33). Children with chronic forms of pathology were included in both study groups. Blood tests for HBV antibodies after vaccination were performed 1-3 months after the third vaccination. Results. The average concentration of antibodies in the range of 10-1000 mMEd/ml in children of group 1 was significantly higher than in children of group 2 (p = 0.037). In addition, children with chronic diseases were significantly more likely to have an anti-HBs titer higher than 1000 mMEd/ml after the third vaccination than healthy children (p = 0.012). Conclusion. An increase in the interval between the first and third administration of the hepatitis B vaccine leads to a rise in the number of children who are not immune to hepatitis B. Chronic diseases fail to affect the immune response due to the introduction of the hepatitis B vaccine, even if the immunization schedule is disrupted.
Psikoterapinin Temel İlkeleri ve Temel Bileşenleri
Authors: ÖZTÜRK Erdinç , AYHAN Hülya
Published: July 2021

Psikoterapi, kişide var olan uyumsuz duygu, düşünce ve davranışların terapist tarafından bilimsel psikolojik teknik ve yaklaşımlar kullanılarak uyumlu duygu, düşünce ve davranışlara dönüştürme süreci olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Bu süreç, terapistlerin ve danışanlarının birlikte yürüttükleri ve terapistlerin danışanlara onları anladıklarını, onlara saygı duyduklarını ve yardım etmek istediklerini ilettikleri kişilerarası ve karşılıklı bir terapötik yapıdır. Psikoterapide, terapist danışanı tanımaya, anlamaya, formülize etmeye, danışanın ihtiyaçlarını belirlemeye ve bu ihtiyaçlara uygun müdahaleler geliştirmeye odaklanmaktadır. Tarihsel süreç içinde farklı psikoterapi modelleri geliştirilmiş ve her birinin kendine özgü terapi ilkeleri oluşturulmuşsa da bu modellerin temel ilkeler bazında azımsanmayacak düzeyde ortak noktaları bulunmaktadır. Bu ilkelerden bazıları, vaka formülasyonu, terapötik çerçeve, terapötik ittifak, direnç, aktarım ve karşı aktarım kavramlarıdır. Vaka formülasyonu, terapistin, danışandaki psikolojik, kişilerarası ve davranışsal sorunların nedenleri, tetikleyici ve sürdürücü faktörleri hakkında oluşturduğu hipotez olup tedavi sürecinde yapılması planlanan terapötik müdahaleler için temel bir unsurdur. Terapötik çerçeve, danışan ve terapistin tedavi süresince uyması gereken kuralları ve bu sürecin nasıl işleyeceğine ilişkin bilgileri içeren önemli bir enstrüman ya da kontrattır. Terapötik ittifak, terapist ve danışanın psikoterapi süresince oluşturduğu ve devam ettirdiği iş birliği olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Direnç ise terapötik ilişkinin içinde var olan danışanın sürece katılım açısından isteksizliğine işaret etmektedir. Aktarım, danışanın geçmiş ilişki deneyimleri üzerinden geliştirdiği tutum ve davranışlarının terapist ile ilişkisinde ortaya çıkması iken karşı aktarım ise terapistin danışanın aktarımına aktarımıdır. Çalışmamızda herhangi bir tedavi modeline bağlı kalınmaksızın psikoterapinin temel ilkeleri ve temel bileşenleri ekseninde eklektik bir yaklaşımla bu kavramlar incelenmiştir.
Studying Diplomatic Negotiations: Integrating the Personal and Institutional Aspects
Authors: Murauskaite Egle
Published: July 2021

Following the Middle East Peace Conference in Madrid in 1991, the Arms Control and Regional Security (ACRS) working group was launched as the first and so far only official regional arms control negotiations. While there have been multiple attempts to distil the lessons of the ACRS process, the aspect of events most conducive to forging trust between the negotiators and their inter-personal dynamics has never been explored. This paper takes an inter-disciplinary approach to studying negotiations: it zooms in on the ACRS process, integrating Middle East studies, decision making processes and nonproliferation literature with negotiations theory and oral history techniques, in the first attempt at a more comprehensive methodology to one of the highlights in the modern Middle Eastern diplomacy. To convey the multiple vantage points of participants, a three-stage methodological process is discussed: individual interviews with negotiating team members and facilitators, followed by group interviews of national delegations, and finally, a group session with representatives from each delegation. Ultimately, this model helps preserve a more accurate historical account, and significantly complements the technical insights on the negotiation dynamics with unexpected inter-personal relations angles, assisting in the design of more promising future frameworks.
The Trouble with Truth-telling: Preliminary Reflections on Truth and Justice in Post-war Liberia
Authors: Twose Gabriel , Mahoney Caitlin
Published: July 2021

This study investigates perceptions of the Liberian Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), particularly focusing on understandings of, and the links between, truth, justice, and reconciliation. Forty-five semi-structured interviews were conducted at three research sites in Liberia. Findings indicate that although most Liberians agreed with the TRC in principle, most of those who followed its proceedings saw major problems in its implementation, harming perceptions of reconciliation. Participants expressed concerns that the Commission had failed to discover the full truth of wartime abuses, that the truth that was discovered was not told in the right way, and that there had been problems implementing justice. The data indicates that societies recovering from violence and suffering must think carefully about how to revisit their pasts. In order for a truth commission to have a positive impact, it must ensure that truth is told in a reconciliatory fashion, and that its justice-based strategy enjoys popular support.
A Concomitant of Conflict and Consensus: Case of a Chieftaincy Succession in Ghana
Authors: Bukari Kaderi
Published: July 2021

Ghana is often seen as peaceful, but is faced with many chieftaincy conflicts that result mainly from succession to the throne (skin or stool) for traditional political power. Ghana has more than 230 chieftaincy disputes dotted across many parts of the country. However, the Bulsa Traditional Area (Buluk) of Ghana has had a stable and resilient chieftaincy succession despite conflicts arising out of the selection of chiefs. In the selection of chiefs, the adoption of a voting system is said to lead to consensus based decision-making which is largely responsible for the non-violent nature of the Buluk chieftaincy succession as compared to other areas in Ghana. Using a qualitative methodology, this case study examined in detail the chieftaincy succession system in the Bulsa Traditional area of Ghana, both conflict and consensus, and how this has helped over the years to maintain peace and avoid violence. The paper also examines whether this case could be a model for chieftaincy succession in Ghana.
Gendering Human Rights: Threat and Gender Perceptions as Predictors of Attitudes towards Violating Human Rights in Asymmetric Conflict
Authors: David Yossi , Rosler Nimrod , Ellis Donald , Maoz Ifat
Published: July 2021

We introduce, in this study, a gendering human rights model in which perceiving outgroups as having stereotypical feminine traits predicts decreased support for violating their human rights through the mediation of threat perception. This model is tested in the context of the asymmetrical protracted Israeli-Palestinian conflict using Jewish-Israeli public opinion polling data (N=517). In line with our expectations, the findings indicate that Jewish-Israeli perceptions of Palestinians as having stereotypical feminine traits predict lower levels of threat perception from Palestinians and consequently less support for violating their human rights. We discuss the implications of our findings for understanding factors that attenuate support for violation of human rights of an outgroup in other situations of violent asymmetric conflict.
Peace Building in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Effects of Ingroup Identification, Outgroup Trust and Intergroup Forgiveness on Intergroup Contact

Published: July 2021

The current study examines the effects of ingroup identification, outgroup trust, and intergroup forgiveness on intergroup contact quantity in the diverse cities of Sarajevo and Tuzla in Bosnia and Herzegovina. A total of 455 individuals ranging in age from 14 to 102 self-reported as either Muslim, Roman Catholic, Orthodox Christian, or Other completed a questionnaire. Analyses revealed that ingroup identification was significantly and negatively correlated with intergroup contact quantity; however, ingroup identification was not significantly correlated with outgroup trust or intergroup forgiveness. The comparison between groups revealed significant group differences across all predictor and criterion variables. To confirm whether age or community background had a moderating effect on predicting the relation between ingroup identification, outgroup trust, and intergroup forgiveness on intergroup contact quantity, moderated regression analyses were conducted. Results revealed community background, ingroup identification, and outgroup trust were all significant contributors to the model; however, age and forgiveness were not. Taken as a whole, the entire model accounted for approximately 21% of variability in intergroup contact quantity. The results from the current study reinforce the supposition that the two cities of Sarajevo and Tuzla in Bosnia and Herzegovina cannot move towards reconciliation without first understanding the effect that strong ingroup identification has on mixing with the other diverse groups, and implementing proactive measures to enhance outgroup trust and cross-community outreach. Implementing these measures in the two cities of Sarajevo and Tuzla, along with other areas in Bosnia and Herzegovina, may improve future intergroup relations and move the country closer to reconciliation and peace.
Negotiating Under the Security Dilemma A Loss-Framed Approach to the Question of Cyprus
Authors: Koktsidis Pavlos
Published: July 2021

The present study introduces a revised adaptation of the “ethnic security dilemma” theory to explain the nature of antagonisms between the Greek and Turkish Cypriots in negotiations for resolving the Cyprus Question. The proposed theory accounts for security positions adopted by parties under conditions of fear and uncertainty. The indistinguishability of offensive-defensive positions and the perceived windows of opportunity have turned the negotiating process into a competitive cost-benefit problem marked by their distinct security considerations. Furthermore, the study develops a loss-framed negotiations model to illustrate likely choices when perceived costs outweigh the importance of prospective gains. The analysis concludes that although parties could be better off by cooperating, suspicion and distrust encourages defection by creating fears of prospective losses with regards to security.
The Political Cost? Religious Segregation, Peace Walls, and House Prices
Authors: McCord John , McCord Michael , Davis Peadar , Haran Martin , MacIntyre Sean
Published: July 2021

The longstanding issue of discrimination and segregation in housing markets has enveloped housing market analysis and particularly the understanding of house price determination. Whilst the relationship of segregation in residential space is diverse and encompasses numerous taxonomies, in Northern Ireland, the high level of market segregation is compounded by the addition of tactile barriers such as Peace walls. The existence of these tactile barriers serves to physically segregate communities and have the capacity to prevent the restoration of normal community interactions and market processes. This paper attempts to quantify and measure the disamenity implications and costs of these hard structures on segregated communities. It achieves this by measuring the pricing effect of peace walls within segregated market areas within the Belfast housing market employing a hedonic pricing approach using data obtained from 3,836 house sales transactions over a one year period in 2014. The findings emerging from the research demonstrate that peace walls have clearly had a more detrimental and adverse effect on the consistency and application of policy and practice. Indeed, the existence of the peace walls appear to have occasioned or facilitated differential practices in housing strategies either ‘side of the wall’. The results show a clear differential distance decay effect limiting market and efficiency opportunities.
Why Women Want to Play Sports: Identity, Culture, and Motivation
Authors: Johnston Linda , Weatherington Karen
Published: July 2021

This paper is part of a series of research dedicated to specific issues uncovered in sports-for-peace programs. Other research has focused on cross-cultural issues, for example. In this research project, the authors were interested in how to encourage the inclusion and promotion of women in all sports around the world. The authors sought to discover who encouraged the women to play competitive sports, how long they had been playing sports, the barriers they encountered when playing competitive sports, and how they felt about identifying as sportswomen at the higher levels of competition. The authors used an on-line anonymous survey instrument and asked Division I college volleyball coaches to forward the link to their teams for voluntary participation in the study. While the authors review the literature as well as the recent history of many competitive sports for women, volleyball was chosen as the focus for the on-line survey because it is one of the most common sports women can play in college at the very competitive Division 1 level in the U.S. The survey questions were both demographic and open-ended in nature. The authors surveyed 149 women who played college-level sports. Narrative analysis was used to understand the themes presented in the open-ended question data. The authors propose that family dynamics, availability of sports programs, and gendered discourses have a combined effect on women’s orientation to particular sports, the women’s long term dedication to the sport, and at the competitive level at which they play. These findings should be considered before inviting women into sports-for-peace programs. The findings have global implications for inclusion and promotion of women in sporting activities. This research will be of interest to coaches, sportswomen, peace educators, gender educators, as well as practitioners who run international sports-for-peace programs.
al-Shabaab and Boko Haram: Recruitment Strategies
Authors: Omenma J. , Hendricks Cheryl , Ajaebili Nnamdi
Published: July 2021

This paper is an examination of the membership recruitment strategies of two violent extremist organizations (VEOs), namely al-Shabaab and Boko Haram. The majority of the literature on VEOs concentrates on the conceptualization of terrorism, motivations for terrorism and counter-terrorism strategies, as well as a focus on the frequency of VEO attacks, number of fatalities and funding sources. The literature tends to portray poverty as the main driver of recruitment. The focus on recruitment strategies has been relatively recent. There is therefore still a lack of in-depth analyses on the processes of recruitment of specific extremist groups, and this impacts on the development of effective counter-insurgency policies and practices. We conclude that there is a need for more nuanced studies of recruitment practices, including radicalization strategies, of specific VEOs in Africa. This understanding of recruitment practices, particularly by VEOs such as Boko Haram and al-Shabaab, will enable more context specific counter-insurgency programmes that target the ability of these organizations to recruit and expand. There can be no one-size-fits-all approach to dealing with the challenge of violent extremism in Africa.
Avoiding the ‘Anthropocene’?: An Assessment of the Extent and Nature of Engagement with Environmental Issues in Peace Research
Authors: Kelly Rhys
Published: July 2021

This article critically examines the extent and nature of engagement with environmental issues within the field of peace research, and specifically with the unfolding ecological crisis (‘the Anthropocene’). A representative sample of journals and book series associated with peace research were analysed in order to a. quantify the extent of engagement with climate change and other environmental issues in peace research, and b. assess the range of discursive positions vis-a-vis the environment represented in the sample. The article finds that, in comparison to other ‘thematic niches’, environmental issues have received limited attention. It also finds that the dominant orientation of publications that do have an environmental focus can be considered ‘reformist’ - largely concerned with or assuming the possibility of significant continuity from the present. More ‘radical’ perspectives are present but in a much lower proportion. Whilst acknowledging the validity of and need for a plurality of perspectives and approaches, it is argued that the scientific evidence of an accelerating and increasingly dangerous ecological crisis does raise challenging questions for peace research. The article concludes with a call for renewed debate on the purpose(s) and assumptions of peace research, informed by a wider range of perspectives on environmental issues. It is a contribution to a tradition of critical reflection within the field but is the first to provide a systematic and grounded analysis of engagement with and perspectives on, the environment within peace research.

The increase and decrease in emotions before and after the start of the Healthy Distance Days was analyzed with Student's t-test. Results. Before and during COVID-19 distancing emotions of wellbeing and discomfort were reported, a significant difference (p <0.05) was observed in all the emotions evaluated with the exceptions of stress (women t = 0.331; p = 0.740; men t = 1.297; p = 0.197), anxiety (diverse t = 2.666; p = 0.183) and depression (diverse t = 1.30958; p = 0.195). Personal and family financial situations generate greater concern in the population (70%) and the consumption of alcoholic beverages and tobacco in men (30 to 32 years; 46%) stands out as a strategy to improve mood. Discussion and Conclusion. The analysis of the increase in emotional distress in the student population during social distancing for COVID-19 requires including the social determinants and the socio-cultural components of emotions to explain the socio-emotional processes in emergency situations.

Authors: Ganaie M. Imran , Wani Manzoor A. , Dev Aisha , Mayer Ishtiaq A.
Published: July 2021

Background: The present study pertains to appraise the soil fertility in the foot hills of Pir Panjal by measuring different physico-chemical parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity (EC), organic carbon (OC), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) in the foothill of Himalayas. Study area with unique physiographic and socio-economic identities have attributed to the soil fertility. Methods: Soil tests were carried at Soil Testing Laboratory (STL), Department of Horticulture. Soil samples at 1-30 cm depth were collected from 10 sample sites selected through composite sampling. Samples were collected randomly keeping in mind the maximum areal coverage. From each site, three sub samples were taken from selected locations to have holistic view of the soil fertility. Conclusion: The study showed deficiency of N & K in all the soil samples, with little variations in other parameters. Sample sites adopting organic farming showed optimum soil fertility. In the study we concluded that practice of adapting organic fertilizers is suitable for maintaing soil fertility. Least perception in the use of different fertilizers (organic & inorganic) a potent cause in the soil deformities in the region.
