Mental Health Promotion and Risk Reduction Strategies for Mental Disorders in Older Persons: Why Should Governments and Policymakers Care?
Authors: Rabheru Kiran
Published: April 2022

There is no health without mental health. These are both indispensable human rights and are prerequisite to living ones life with dignity. Unfortunately, mental health systems have been in crisis, with burden of mental illness being among the ten leading healthcare-related issues worldwide, with no measurable reduction in such for over 30 years. Concurrently, the demographic clock continues to tick. Toadys 703 million people aged 65 or older are projected to reach 1.5 billion by the year 2050. Of these, 20% will suffer with serious mental health conditions. At the heart of the global crisis for older people is ageism, frequently intersecting with ableism, mentalism, sexism, and racism.
These biases result in the violation of older peoples human rights every day, with the resultant poor quality of life and premature death. They are compounded by major gaps in legislation, policies, and practices, rendering the central transformative promise of the UNs 2030 Agenda to Leave No One Behind a very elusive goal. Evidence-based interventions designed to prevent or reduce the risk of common mental health conditions and psychosocial disability are already available. All governments and policymakers have a major role to play in the promotion of good mental health and the prevention of mental illness by integrating these into public health and general social policy.
This requires adopting, implementing, and scaling up of evidence-based, cost-effective interventions to reduce the risk of the development of mental disorders and providing access to adequate treatment when needed for older persons. All governments and policymakers also have a pivotal role to play in leading and supporting a UN convention on the human rights of older people. A UN convention would help combat ageism at the national and international levels by ensuring integration of monitoring and enforcement mechanisms to effectively implement policies and laws that could address discrimination, inequity, and the protection of human rights of older people, including their mental health.
Neem (Azadirachta indica) Oil Affects Morning Glory (Ipomoea purpurea) Seedling Development
Authors: Grenzel Inês Carolina , Silva Marinho Marcelo da , Marques Eder
Published: April 2022

The weed Ipomoea purpurea L. (Convolvulaceae), known generically as morning glory, is an important invasive plant introduced in Brazil, which not only causes significant losses in annual crops, but also makes harvesting difficult and already presents herbicide-tolerant biotypes in the country. In this context, alternative and sustainable ways of managing this plant are sought. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of neem oil on morning glory seeds and seedlings. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design, with six treatments composed of different oil dilutions, applied before and after germination, in addition to the control. Based on the experiment, it was observed that neem oil delayed seed germination by up to 1.4 days, although without significance. On the other hand, seedling fresh weight was severely affected by application after sowing, leading to a symptom of leaf blight. Morning glory seedling survival followed the same pattern, where there was a significant reduction by the application of neem oil only after sowing. It was concluded that neem oil has a phytotoxic effect on I. purpurea seedlings, reducing their survival and fresh weight when applied after germination, as well as influencing (delaying) seed emergence when applied to the soil. The study of the effect of lower concentrations, close to economically viable and practiced in the field, should be carried out in the future. © 2022 Friends Science Publishers

Authors: Yepez-Reyes Verónica , Crespo Consuelo
Published: April 2022

El Aprendizaje-Servicio (ApS) es una metodología de experiencial que se aplica en múltiples campos, uno de ellos es el Taller de Cerámica sobre el que se enfoca este artículo. El Taller de Cerámica surge como un instrumento mediador entre la comunidad de Guayama Grande, en el páramo andino de Chugchilán, en Cotopaxi, y la universidad. Aquí, durante dos años y medio —antes y durante la pandemia por COVID-19— estudiantes, docentes y la comunidad han puesto en práctica una metodología basada en recuperar la memoria y revitalizar la lengua, fundamentales para construir su mundo, y la cerámica como el mecanismo de interpretación de ese mundo que se mantuvo por años en ‘el olvido’. El Taller se convierte en un vehículo de intercambio y aprendizaje mutuo. Este ha permitido que surja un imaginero comunitario, quien, poniendo en práctica los conocimientos adquiridos y el concepto del ayni —de la reciprocidad andina— ha sido capaz de llevar, a otras comunas y lugares, el arte de la cerámica y con ello promover el bienestar (ODS3) y la educación de calidad (ODS4).

Published: April 2022

BackgroundCystic Echinococcosis (CE) has been reported to exist both in humans and animals affecting people with their livestock. The study aimed to examine the prevalence of CE in slaughtered animals; practices facilitating transmission and perceived risk of human infection in Dodoma municipality, Tanzania.MethodsA quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted. Prevalence of CE was determined by physical examination of organs from slaughtered animals. Collected cysts were preserved in formalin, and then transported to Parasitology laboratory for establishment of fertility. A questionnaire was used to collect data. Data analysis was done by Statistical Package of Social Sciences software. Frequency tables on the prevalence of hydatidosis fertility rate of hydatid cysts, demographic characteristics, awareness, knowledge, risk perception and practices were tabulated. Chi square test was used to test relationship between variables related to awareness and knowledge on hydatidosis. Results Inspected animals for CE in different organs were 1,485, among them700 were cattle, 430 goats and 355 sheep. Overall prevalence of CE in all animals was 4.7%; and 7.6%, 2.1% and 2.3% for cattle, goats and sheep, respectively. Fertility rate was; 50.9% in cattle, 33.3% in goats, and 50% in sheep. The questionnaire involved 361 respondents. Majority 91.7% had low knowledge, 8.3% moderate on CE. Backyard-slaughtering, free-range dogs and livestock keeping, feeding offal to dogs and close relationship between dogs, humans and livestock kept the community at risk of acquiring CE. Conclusion CE was high among ruminant animals in Dodoma. Majority of participants had limited awareness on modes of transmission and practices that put them at risk. Close proximity to dogs indicates the potential risk for human infection. Collaboration between medical and veterinary sectors is recommended to raise community awareness and address the problem.

Authors: AFFAGHROU Wafa , AHROUCH Said
Published: April 2022

Inter-organizational cooperation has become a major challenge for the development of organizations. Inter-organizational relations are enormously successful in terms of cooperation, especially when talking about Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) companies. Today, several forms of cooperation appeared in Morocco with the creation of groups, unions, networks and federations. Through this paper, we study the dynamics of inter-organizational cooperation and its contribution to the economic and social development of an Economic Interest Grouping (EIG) of women's cooperatives in Argan. We proceed for our analysis according to the dialectical approach as it was adopted by Dameron (2001, 2002), via the study of the cooperation relations of the EIG TARGANINE, based on a qualitative approach carried out by semi-structured interviews carried out with the president of the EIG and the leaders of the member cooperatives.

Authors: Adnan M. Fachri , Saputra Nika , Syamsir Syamsir , Mulia Rizki Afri
Published: April 2022

In the organization, decision-making is based on the authority governed by the organization's needs. Inaccuracies in decision-making regarding the forum, process, approach, and the decision results will reduce the power of cohesion between organization members in supporting the decision. This study aims to identify, review, evaluate, and interpret research related to the decision-making process in organizations. With the Systematic Literature Review approach pattern in journals that have been published from 2016 to 2021, the results show that current decision-making implementation research focuses on two topics and trends: supervision and the role of leaders. The method that is often used in research on the implementation of decision-making is a quantitative approach of 75% and a qualitative approach of 25%. The cause of the low performance of decision-making in the public sector is a leader who allows himself to be overwhelmed by doubts controlling his way of thinking and acting.

Reflecting on the Impacts of the 2013 coup in Central Africa Republic on Economic Security
Authors: Marawako Jonah
Published: April 2022

This article aims to provide a concise overview of the impacts of the 2013 coup in Central Africa Republic (CAR) on human security with particular emphasis on economic security. CAR is a serial coup country and has been rocked by five successful military coups since its independence from France in 1960. The 2013 coup in CAR was the worst one as it ignited human catastrophe and a nosedive economy. The study is incentivised by the fact that although CAR has been a hippodrome of putsch there is scant in literature auditing how the coups affected human security. In order to have a better understanding of the phenomenon under investigation this study interrogates the concepts of coup and human security. The concept of human security has seven dimension and economic security is the major dimension of human security, hence this paper distinctly shows how the 2013 coup in CAR affected economic security and not the other six dimensions of human security which are food, political, personal, environmental, health and community security. The study observed that the 2013 coup resulted in the withdrawal of donors and investors and this resulted into low foreign direct investment. The coup also exposed the countries to external economic shocks which adversely affected the economy. The intrusion of rebel groups in the countries had negative economic ramification such as destruction of infrastructure and wanton looting and pillaging. The study used qualitative research instruments and documentary search was the primary method of collecting data.

A Study on Social Support and Level of Depression among Alcohol Addicts” With Special Reference to Coimbatore Districts
Authors: Punitha Dr. M. , J Anil Mrs. Anjali
Published: April 2022

Alcoholism is a major problem in India, and there is a large body of literature in India and the West devoted to understanding the marital dynamics involved in drinking and determining the negative effects that alcoholism can have on a spouse's personality and function. Alcoholism is a condition that develops over time and is frequently fatal. It is not a symptom of another sickness or emotional issue, but rather a distinct ailment. A person's size, weight, age, and sex, as well as the amount of food and alcohol ingested, all influence the effects of alcohol use. Even at low doses, alcohol can impair judgement and coordination dramatically. Alcohol in small to moderate dosages can potentially raise the risk of cancer. Low to moderate amounts of alcohol can enhance the likelihood of a number of aggressive behaviours, such as domestic violence and child abuse. Alcohol has a negative impact on not just an individual's physical health, but also on the people around him. Alcoholism is linked to a shattered family role, a breakdown in family communication, as well as physical and mental disorders. Methodology of Study: The current study used a descriptive research design and probability sampling as the sampling method. To obtain data from parents for this study, the researcher used a basic random sampling lottery procedure. An interview schedule was used to acquire a sample size of 60 people.
Drivers to Participation in SHGs and Changes in Household Livelihood Constructs: A Longitudinal Survey in Nyakach Sub-County, Kenya
Authors: Atieno Paul Okello
Published: April 2022

Poverty reduction and socio-economic challenges since 1990s attracted institutions named Self-Help Groups (SHGs) among communities. Literature abound linking SHGs with empowerment especially of women albeit with weak methodology and failure to measure changes in livelihood participation. Poverty level still increased in areas like Nyakach Sub-County where SHGs operate. Poverty level increased from 18% to 43% until 2019, representing 238% rise. The study purposed to establish how participation in SHGs changed constructs of household livelihoods in Nyakach Sub-County, Kenya. The study hypotheses tested; absence of significant difference in household food security before and after joining SHGs, absence of significant difference in household healthcare access before and after joining SHGs, and absence of significant difference in household social capabilities before and after joining SHGs. Using Symbolic Interactionism Theory a longitudinal survey design was applied on 9450 target population.  A sample of 384 provided data at two points before joining SHGs and after joining.  Mean values of the two periods were compared using z-statistics. Findings showed that through participation in SHGs, improvement in food security (M=3.60; SD=1.39) and improvement in social capabilities (M=3.53; SD=1.36) were highly changed. Improvement in healthcare access was slight (M=2.73 ; SD=1.04). A significant and positive improvement in livelihood constructs of the SHG members was observed thus rejection of the null hypotheses (H01 ; H02 and H03). Conclusively, participation in SHGs had significant potential of improving livelihood constructs of households. It is recommended that healthcare as a construct of livelihood should be institutionalised through SHGs for more community reach.
Strategies Adopted to Achieve Competitive Advantage of Commercial Banks in Nakuru County, Kenya
Authors: Kibebe M’mbwanga Sonia , Anyieni Abel
Published: April 2022

Commercial banks carry out a particularly critical role in an economy’s progression and development. As such, a banking sector that is competitive strengthens economic stability and efficiency, promoting social welfare by way of offering financial services and allocating funds to firms and households. The recent collapse of three large commercial banks in Kenya and their ensuing placement on receivership and liquidation highlight the inadequacies by commercial banks in the country to formulate and adopt strategies that at aim at not only ensuring a sufficient customer-base that translates to core deposit growth but also competitiveness and eventually competitive advantage. Against this backdrop, the study set out to assess competitive advantage among commercial banks is influenced by strategic adoption with a focus on Nakuru County, Kenya. Anchored on the resource-based view and dynamic capability theories, the study took the descriptive survey research design, targeting 68 bank operations and branch managers from the 34 commercial Banks in Nakuru Town. These were reached on census survey approach, utilizing primary data collected by use of questionnaires that are structured in design. Descriptive statistics were analysed using frequency counts, percentages, and means. Inferential statistics were analysed using regression model. The study employed regression analysis to assess the association between the predictor and outcome variables. Findings show that firm infrastructure, human resource management, and technology are significantly associated with commercial banks’ competitiveness in Nakuru County, while procurement practices are not. It is concluded that firm infrastructure, human resource management, and technology have a significant effect on commercial banks’ competitiveness in Nakuru County while procurement practices do not. The study recommends that commercial banks seeking to improve their competitive advantage in the country should invest in adequate firm infrastructure, high performance human resource management practices, pertinent technology and in proper procurement practices.

Compreensão e perspectivas de pesquisadores acerca do ensino de filosofia no ensino médio
Authors: Gabriel Fábio Antonio , Pereira Ana Lúcia , Mendes Ademir Aparecido Pinhelli
Published: April 2022

Neste artigo, o objetivo foi investigar o entendimento e as perspectivas de pesquisadores acerca do ensino de filosofia. A pesquisa, de natureza qualitativa, bem como os dados analisados, origina-se de entrevistas realizadas com sete professores pesquisadores e publicadas na revista Filosofia: Ciência & Vida, da Editora Escala. Para analisar as falas desses professores pesquisadores, utilizou-se a técnica de análise de conteúdo de Bardin, da qual emergiram três categorias: trajetória da disciplina de filosofia; metodologia do ensino de filosofia; e contribuições do ensino de filosofia no ensino médio. Os resultados apontam que a filosofia, como disciplina integrante do currículo das escolas de ensino médio, oscila, ao longo do tempo, entre permanências e ausências, e que a sua presença em 2020, diante da reforma decretada pela Lei nº 13.415/2017, vê-se condenada à exclusão. Assim sendo, é fundamental pensar em formas de resistência para a permanência da disciplina de filosofia no contexto educacional.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran penerimaan diri ibu yang tidak menyusui secara eksklusif. Penerimaan diri diperlukan untuk menghadapi perasaan-perasaan kehilangan seperti sedih dan perasaan bersalah ketika harapan untuk menyusui tidak dapat terpenuhi. Seseorang yang memiliki penerimaan diri dapat menunjukkan sikap positif terhadap diri sendiri, serta mengakui dan menerima berbagai aspek diri berupa kelebihan dan kekurangan. Proses penerimaan diri ini dilihat dari lima tahapan penerimaan milik Kubler-Ross. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif metode studi kasus intrinsik dengan teknik wawancara. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa partisipan mengalami tahapan penolakan, marah, tawar-menawar, dan depresi sebelum dapat menerima kondisi dirinya yang tidak lagi menyusui secara eksklusif. Penerimaan kondisi diri dari partisipan dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor seperti, pemahaman diri yang baik, harapan yang realistis, tidak adanya hambatan di lingkungan sekitar, sikap sosial yang positif, tidak adanya stres berat, identifikasi penyesuaian diri, perspektif akan diri sendiri, serta konsep diri yang stabil.

Os tanques naturais (stricto sensu) constituem importantes feições geomorfológicas que ocorrem no município de Itapipoca (CE), os quais acomodam, ocasionalmente, sedimentos quaternários com relevante conteúdo fossilífero. O ''Tanque Jirau 01'', situado no Sítio Paleontológico Jirau, tem destaque entre as diversas depressões que ocorrem no município cearense, tanto no aspecto geomorfológico quanto paleontológico. O tanque fossilífero Jirau (TF01) é um tanque natural escarpado, que foi formado no embasamento cristalino, apresentando morfologia de fundo do tipo côncavo. A depressão segue a orientação WNW-ESE e encontra-se, parcialmente, preenchida por depósitos sedimentares areno-argilosos, com conteúdo fossilífero proveniente da megafauna cenozoica. Em relação aos aspectos dimensionais, o TF01 possui uma extensão com mais de 50 metros de comprimento, dispondo de uma largura máxima de 5,30 metros e profundidades de até 5 metros. A conformidade dos aspectos geomorfológicos, além de atribuir ao TF01 uma extraordinária beleza cênica, também permitiu oferecer no passado uma área de estoque e disponibilidade de água para a fauna e, posteriormente, a população local em períodos de estiagem. No interior do tanque é possível verificar o registro de estruturas menores nas laterais, feições semelhantes a favos de mel e/ou alvéolos com tamanhos centimétricos, e indícios de processos intempéricos de contato solo-rocha vinculados à corrosão química. Embora exista no meio acadêmico estudos paleontológicos sobre o material encontrado nas depressões de Itapipoca, ainda há pouco material vinculado aos condicionantes responsáveis pela possível origem e desenvolvimento destes tanques naturais na região. O presente estudo traz uma análise inicial a partir da caracterização morfológica e do controle tectono-estrutural do tanque natural Jirau 01 (TF01), área de importante referência científica no município de Itapipoca (CE).

O Rio Araguaia se caracteriza pela rápida resposta geomórfica à degradação pelas atividades antrópicas em suabacia hidrográfica. A morfologia bidimensional do médio-curso superior do Rio Araguaia foi avaliada durante o período 2001-2018, ampliando para 53 anos a série temporal preexistente na bibliografia da análise quali-quantitativa das macroformas desse rio e de suas respostas às mudanças no uso e cobertura da terra. Com base no processamento de imagens multitemporais de sensoriamento remoto, realizou-se a quantificação dos parâmetros morfométricos de ilhas e barras arenosas e a estimativa areal dos processos erosivos e deposicionais no sistema fluvial atual. Entre 1965 e 1998, o rio alterou parcialmente o seu padrão anabranching, ampliando a tendência ao entrelaçamento. No período 2001-2018, foram identificadas mudanças na morfologia que denotam a uma fase transicional de contração da zona ativa do canal e perda parcial das características de entrelaçamento devido à ampliação da representatividade das ilhas. Tal conjuntura responde às alterações no regime hidrossedimentar nasúltimas duas décadas. Diante do avanço da fronteira agrícola e das propostas de construção de quatro grandes barragens ao longo de seu curso, o atual estado de ajuste do sistema canal-planície aluvial deve ser considerado no manejo deste grande rio do Cerrado.

The prevalence of obesity in both the United States and worldwide has grown significantly over the last several decades. With this growing pandemic, more patients are seeking surgical alternatives to achieve weight loss goals. Bariatric surgery has multiple proven health benefits, including weight loss and resolution of several co-morbidities, including diabetes. Advances in surgical techniques, including laparoscopy, have allowed bariatric surgery to increase in popularity among obese patients. However, bariatric surgery is not without complications. Key to successful weight loss surgery includes appropriate pre-operative laboratory workup, a multidisciplinary approach with other health care providers, proper peri-operative techniques as well as close post-operative follow up. This article will highlight several important criteria bariatric surgeons should bear in mind when evaluating patients in pre-operative, peri-operative and post-operative states to help prevent common complications seen in weight loss surgery.
