Authors: Imelia Lanny , RA.Oetari  , Samuel Budi Harsono
Published: December 2023

A hospital pharmacy (FRS) is a unit in a hospital that carries out health efforts by providing quality health services. Medication management in FRS is an important management aspect in achieving service quality. Therefore, IFRS must be managed effectively and efficiently. Inefficiency in use can have a negative impact on hospitals both medically and economically. The aim of this study was to evaluate drug management, including selection, procurement, distribution, and use, based on the 2020 National Formulary standards and improvement strategies using the Hanlon method at the pharmacy installation of Dr. Moewardi General Hospital in 2020. This research is a type of descriptive research with retrospective and concurrent data collection. Data was taken from retrospective data in 2020 and data at the time the research was conducted. Research materials include primary data obtained from observation of research data in the form of document selection, procurement, distribution, and use of medicine in the IFRS Dr. Moewardi General Hospital. Secondary data was obtained from interviews with the head of the pharmacy installation at Dr. Moewardi General Hospital Surakarta, the head of planning, and the head of ULP (procurement services unit). The results of the research show that 1) Medication management in the pharmacy installation at Dr. Moewardi General Hospital Surakarta is not yet efficient at this stage of selection. It is known that the availability of existing medicines does not comply with FORNAS standards in 2020. then, in stage procurement, there is 1 out of 5 indicators that meet the standard; in stage distribution, 5 indicators were obtained, or all of them were not standard, and in staged use, it was found that 1 of the 5 indicators met the standard. 2) The improvement strategy uses the Hanlon method in drug management, namely prioritizing problem repairs sequentially, starting from the percentage of conformity with the number of drug items available with FORNAS to the number of drug items per prescription sheet.
An update on anti-protein Z antibodies
Authors: Pascreau Tiffany , Zia-Chahabi Sara , Andriamandimbisoa Tojoniaina-Herinjaka , Vasse Marc
Published: December 2023

Protein Z (PZ) is a vitamin K-dependent protein that acts as a cofactor for the inhibition of activated factor X by the PZ-dependent protease inhibitor, an anticoagulant protein of the serpin superfamily. The presence of antibodies against PZ (aPZ-Abs) was first described in women with unexplained recurrent embryo loss, pre-eclampsia, or foetal death, independently from habitual antiphospholipid/anti-cofactor antibodies. Other studies suggested that aPZ-Ab could be associated with a small birthweight for the gestational age. The mechanism of action of these antibodies is not yet understood. At this time, even aPZ-Abs are frequently observed in patients with lupus anticoagulant or anticardiolipin antibodies, there is no evidence that aPZ-Abs increase systemic venous or arterial thrombotic risk. The comparison of the various published studies shows that the threshold suggesting an obstetric risk is not clearly defined. At present, it is not known whether one isotype of immunoglobulin (G or M, or both) is particularly involved in certain obstetric manifestations, or these antibodies persist during time, or can be induced by infectious diseases. Consequently, detection of these antibodies is not routinely warranted and should only be performed in randomized clinical trials.
Substituent-controlled construction of A4B2-hexaphyrins and A3B-porphyrins: a mechanistic evaluation
Authors: Cinar Seda , Tasgin Dilek Isik , Unaleroglu Canan
Published: December 2023

A substituent-dependent construction of novel A3B-porphyrins along with A4B2-hexaphyrins was realized by the reactions of N-tosylimines and meso-aryl-substituted tripyrranes in the presence of Cu(OTf)2 as the catalyst. The reaction mechanism of the presented method was studied on model reactions by electrospray-ionization time-of-flight (HRESI–TOF) mass spectral analysis in a timely manner. The analytical results indicated that the observed azafulvene-ended di- and tripyrrolic intermediates are responsible for the formation of porphyrinogen and hexaphyrinogen forms.
The impact of digital transformation on the competitiveness of enterprises: the analysis of differences in business strategies
Authors: BIHUN Viacheslav , YOKHNA Mykola , TEBENKO Vita
Published: December 2023

The paper explored the theoretical aspects of digital transformation, in particular, explored and compared the definitions of "digitalization", "digital transformation" and digital strategy. It was found that digital transformation, in contrast to digitization, is a broader concept, because it involves not only a technological shift, but also the transformation of the operational process, business models, and the experience of end users. The advantages and disadvantages of digital transformation for enterprises are determined. The main advantages are speeding up processes and reducing the human factor, increasing productivity in quantitative and qualitative terms, reducing current costs. Disadvantages are high risks during implementation and additional costs. The main reasons why businesses seek to invest in new technologies have been explored. It has been proven that such a desire can depend not only on the desire of the company's management to carry out digital transformations, but also on forced reasons. The global rating of digital transformation technologies is characterized and the purpose of the most popular technologies is revealed. It is noted that in addition to the popularity of the technology itself, it is worth considering the feasibility of its implementation in the activities of a specific company. Based on the analysis and combination of information in literary sources with own works, an approach to the step-by-step implementation of a digital strategy was formed. This approach is universal, because it can be adapted for individual companies. Successful and unsuccessful examples of digital strategies implemented by well-known companies are studied. It was found that digital solutions can bring both significant advantages and cause the company to fail at a certain stage or in a certain area.

Authors: HOLOVKIN Bohdan
Published: December 2023

This paper examines the urgent and complex problem of health care for prisoners in penal institutions. The paper highlights the changes occurring in society and the penal system and their impact on this problem. The protection of rights and respectful treatment of prisoners are seen as key aspects of a humane and civilised social system. In particular, the problems related to the health of convicts and their impact on the security of society are considered. The study points to the need for an in-depth study of this topic and suggests constructive ways to address the problems associated with ensuring proper health protection of prisoners in the modern world. This paper discusses the importance of ensuring adequate medical care and healthcare for persons in detention. It is noted that this is an integral part of human rights, and all prisoners have the right to adequate medical care and conditions that do not threaten their physical and psychological health. It is proved that the provision of adequate medical care and diagnostics contributes to the successful rehabilitation and social integration of convicted persons after release.
The paper also highlights the importance of complying with Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which obliges the state to create appropriate conditions to ensure the right to adequate and timely medical care for persons in pre-trial detention centers and penitentiary institutions. It is pointed out that it is necessary to introduce regular and systematic monitoring, detailed documentation of the health status of convicts, creation of appropriate conditions for treatment, supply of necessary medicines, availability of qualified medical specialists and proper diagnostic equipment.
It is emphasized that the problem of inadequate medical care for convicts is unacceptable for a democratic, legal and social state, and its solution requires immediate and fundamental changes that would meet human rights standards. The problem of insufficient medical care for prisoners is unacceptable for a democratic, legal and social state, which Ukraine is recognized as according to the Constitution. This situation requires urgent and systemic changes.

Published: December 2023

Наличие индикаторов риска нарушения обязательных требований на объектах защиты может предшествовать наличию нарушения обязательных требований пожарной безопасности на данных объектах. Одним из способов разработки и обоснования индикатора риска является анализ различных статистических данных о пожарах и их последствиях на объектах надзора. С целью разработки и обоснования индикаторов риска проанализировано общее количество пожаров, количество пожаров с гибелью людей, количество пожаров с травмированием людей, количество пожаров с крупным материальным ущербом, произошедших вследствие различных причин в Российской Федерации в 2019–2021 гг. По результатам анализа определены причины пожаров, которым соответствует наибольшее количество пожаров за рассматриваемый период.

The presence of risk indicators of violation of mandatory requirements at supervised objects may precede the violation of mandatory fire safety requirements at these objects. One of the ways to develop and justify a risk indicator is to analyze various statistics on fires and their consequences at supervised objects. In order to elaborate and justify risk indicators, there were analyzed the total number of fires, the number of fires with loss of life, the number of fires with injuries, the number of fires with major material damage that occurred from various causes in the Russian Federation in 2019-2021. Based on the results of the analysis there were determined the causes of fires which correspond to the largest number of fires during the period under review.

Published: December 2023

This study seeks information about Suprasegmental Phoneme Learning in Deaf Students in TK B at SLB B Pangudi Luhur. This research employs a qualitative case study method involving data collection through interviews and documentation studies. Data analysis is conducted using the Miles and Huberman approach. Data validity is ensured through triangulation from various sources and maintained throughout the research process. The results of this study show that suprasegmental phoneme learning applies two forms of learning activities with different processes and applications in each form of activity, namely found in speech development learning (whose material is obtained from conversations/visualizations that are clarified with curved phrases to familiarize how students can read rhythmically with the Maternal Reflective Method (MRM) in class) and PKPBI. The learning of suprasegmental phonemes set in the TK B class of SLB B Pangudi Luhur is called an ‘accent’ (a sentence spoken with a certain tone/pressure. Some factors influence the learning of suprasegmental phonemes, namely supporting factors, including student focus, student dB, facial direction, oral motor, student motivation, and support from parents. On the other hand, the factors inhibiting the process include students who are sick, a limited amount of time, teachers who have not mastered the material, and a lack of support from the parents.

Published: December 2023

The youth are the successors of the previous generation's efforts to achieve wealth by safeguarding the nation.   Indonesia has recently included national defense in its educational curriculum. Psychology is among the academic disciplines that include national defense courses within their curriculum.   However, how it is conceived and carried out often focuses on national security without considering psychological factors.   Indeed, a must is using a psychological scientific framework coupled with a youth-centric viewpoint.   This study aims to identify the meaning of national defense from a youth psychology perspective.   The research used a connotation of meaning analysis methodology, which included examining policy literature and scientific literature and then analyzing them about the semantics of national defense.   Safeguarding the nation entails prioritizing security, defense, and welfare.   The findings also indicate that resilience, self-actualization, and well-being are crucial dimensions of teenage psychology in safeguarding the nation.   The capacity of youth to confront stress, overcome obstacles, and attain a more prosperous future serves as the foundation for ascertaining the psychological significance of patriotism among youth.

Supernova Remnants in the Irregular Galaxy NGC 4449
Authors: Winkler P. Frank , Long Knox S. , Blair William P.
Published: December 2023

The nearby irregular galaxy NGC 4449 has a star formation rate of ∼0.4M
☉ yr−1 and should host of order 70 supernova remnants (SNRs) younger than 20,000 yr, a typical age for SNRs expanding into an interstellar medium (ISM) with a density of 1 cm−3 to reach the radiative phase. We have carried out an optical imaging and spectroscopic survey in an attempt to identify these SNRs. This task is challenging because diffuse gas with elevated ratios of [S ii]:Hα is omnipresent in NGC 4449, causing confusion when using this common diagnostic for SNRs. Using narrowband interference-filter images, we first identified 49 objects that have elevated [S ii]:Hα ratios compared to nearby H ii regions. Using Gemini-N and GMOS, we then obtained high-resolution spectra of 30 of these SNR candidates, 25 of which have [S ii]:Hα ratios greater than 0.5. Of these, 15 nebulae are almost certainly SNRs, based on a combination of characteristics: higher [O i]:Hα ratios and broader line widths than observed from H ii regions. The remainder are good candidates as well, but need additional confirmation. Surprisingly, despite having superior imaging and spectroscopic data sets to examine, we are unable to confirm most of the candidates suggested by Leonidaki et al. While NGC 4449 is likely an extreme case because of the high surface brightness and elevated [S ii]:Hα ratio of diffuse gas, it highlights the need for sensitive high-resolution optical spectroscopy, or high spatial resolution radio or X-ray observations that can ensure accurate SNR identifications in external galaxies.
Multifrequency General Relativistic Radiation Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations of Thin Disks
Authors: Fragile P. Chris , Anninos Peter , Roth Nathaniel , Mishra Bhupendra
Published: December 2023

We present a set of six general relativistic, multifrequency, radiation magnetohydrodynamic simulations of thin accretion disks with different target mass accretion rates around black holes with spins ranging from nonrotating to rapidly spinning. The simulations use the
M

1 closure scheme with 12 independent frequency (or energy) bins ranging logarithmically from 5 × 10−3 keV to 5 × 103 keV. The multifrequency capability allows us to generate crude spectra and energy-dependent light curves directly from the simulations without a need for special postprocessing. While we generally find roughly thermal spectra with peaks around 1–4 keV, our high-spin cases showed harder-than-expected tails for the soft or thermally dominant state. This leads to radiative efficiencies that are up to five times higher than expected for a Novikov–Thorne disk at the same spin. We attribute these high efficiencies to the high-energy, coronal emission. These coronae mostly occupy the effectively optically thin regions near the inner edges of the disks and also cover or sandwich the inner ∼15GM/c
2 of the disks.

Published: December 2023

With the increasing recognition of the significance of arachnid conservation, it is crucial to allocate greater efforts towards implementing targeted monitoring programmes. Despite recent studies, our understanding of arachnid populations in Portugal remains limited. This study serves as the initial inventory of arachnids (Araneae and Opiliones) within the Castro Verde Special Protection Area (SPA) located in Beja, southern Portugal. The surveys were conducted during the spring of 2012 across 80 open grasslands that were grazed by cattle and sheep.

A total of 71 species of Araneae and two species of Opiliones have been identified. Notably, three spider species, namely Argenna subnigra, Civizelotes ibericus and Walckenaeria cucullata, are documented for the first time in Portugal. Additionally, two harvestmen species (Dasylobus ibericus and Homalenotus buchneri) and 14 spider species (Cheiracanthium pennatum, Haplodrassus rhodanicus, Marinarozelotes minutus, Tapinocyba algirica, Agraecina lineata, Tibellus macellus, Talavera petrensis, Tetragnatha intermedia, Dipoena umbratilis, Enoplognatha diversa, Neottiura uncinata, Ruborridion musivum, Theridion pinastri and Xysticus grallator) are recorded for the first time in the Beja District. The occurrence of each documented species within the SPA, including family and species details, is presented, underscoring the significance of the Castro Verde SPA for arachnid conservation. These findings contribute novel insights into the biodiversity of the Castro Verde SPA, emphasising the necessity of incorporating this area into arachnid diversity conservation efforts.
On the generalized proximate order of functions analytic on the unit disc
Authors: Kumar Devendra
Published: December 2023

The concept of Lindel$ \ddot{o} $f proximate order has been used extensively to study the functions of completely regular growth. The main drawback of this approach is that it completely ignores the value of lower order. To overcome this problem, Chyzykov et al. introduced the concept of generalized proximate order for irregular growth. In this paper we studied the existence of generalized proximate order for every functions analytic on the unit disc with some new results for functions having irregular growth.
iAVPs-ResBi: Identifying antiviral peptides by using deep residual network and bidirectional gated recurrent unit
Authors: Ma Xinyan , Liang Yunyun , Zhang Shengli
Published: December 2023

Human history is also the history of the fight against viral diseases. From the eradication of viruses to coexistence, advances in biomedicine have led to a more objective understanding of viruses and a corresponding increase in the tools and methods to combat them. More recently, antiviral peptides (AVPs) have been discovered, which due to their superior advantages, have achieved great impact as antiviral drugs. Therefore, it is very necessary to develop a prediction model to accurately identify AVPs. In this paper, we develop the iAVPs-ResBi model using k-spaced amino acid pairs (KSAAP), encoding based on grouped weight (EBGW), enhanced grouped amino acid composition (EGAAC) based on the N5C5 sequence, composition, transition and distribution (CTD) based on physicochemical properties for multi-feature extraction. Then we adopt bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) to fuse features for obtaining the most differentiated information from multiple original feature sets. Finally, the deep model is built by combining improved residual network and bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU) to perform classification. The results obtained are better than those of the existing methods, and the accuracies are 95.07, 98.07, 94.29 and 97.50% on the four datasets, which show that iAVPs-ResBi can be used as an effective tool for the identification of antiviral peptides.

Mixed Strategies in the Indefinitely Repeated Prisoner's Dilemma
Authors: Romero Julian , Rosokha Yaroslav
Published: December 2023

Identifying the strategies that are played is critical to understanding behavior in repeated games. This process is difficult because only choices (not strategies) are observable. Recently, a debate has emerged regarding whether subjects play mixed strategies in the indefinitely repeated prisoner's dilemma. We use an experimental approach to elicit mixed strategies from human subjects, thereby providing direct empirical evidence. We find that a majority of subjects use mixed strategies. However, the data also suggest subjects' strategies are becoming less mixed over time, and move toward three focal pure strategies: Tit For Tat, Grim Trigger, and Always Defect. We use the elicited strategies to provide an empirically‐relevant foundation for analyzing commonly used mixture model estimation procedures.
EXPLORING THE CHARACTERISTICS OF WELL-CERTIFIED K-12 SCHOOLS: A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY ON INTERNATIONAL CASES

Published: December 2023

With the growing recognition of the importance of health and well-being in the realm of education, there has been increasing interest in designing healthy K–12 schools that prioritize the well-being of students and staff. In this context, the WELL Building Standard has emerged as a leading framework for promoting health and wellness. Despite the WELL Building Standard receiving more attention in the architectural and interior design industry, there is a lack of empirical research on its implementation in the educational sector. The purpose of this study is to analyze the potential benefits and challenges of implementing the WELL standard in K–12 schools and to capture best practices. A comprehensive analysis was conducted, employing both a literature review and a case study approach. Ten previous studies were reviewed, and five K–12 schools that received the highest WELL certifications, including Platinum and Gold, were examined. The literature review has confirmed the effectiveness of WELL in enhancing occupants’ well-being in the context of K–12 schools, as well as the challenges associated with its implementation. Furthermore, the case study has identified the key features of the WELL-certified K–12 schools. These features can serve as examples of best practices for creating healthy and sustainable school designs in the future. This paper’s findings contribute to the development of future K–12 schools by providing designers, architects, educators, and policymakers insights for creating healthier and more sustainable learning environments.
THERMAL PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF PASSIVE DESIGN TECHNIQUES FOR GREEN BUILDINGS IN TEMPERATE CLIMATES
Authors: Jeong Nam-Young , Lee Jiyoung
Published: December 2023

This study suggests a design technique by evaluating and predicting the thermal performance of the passive design technique, which can be introduced in the early design stage, by focusing on office buildings in temperate climate conditions. In the case of office buildings, the thermal environment should be significantly improved, as the energy load ratio is high due to the climatic environment and physical environmental conditions. Therefore, among the passive design techniques introduced in our previous studies, the level of energy reduction in cooling and heating loads, focusing on the south orientation, sun shading form, courtyard, atrium, horizontal louver, vertical louver, raised roof, and green roof, which control the thermal environment, were comparatively analyzed through simulation. The relative energy load of the analysis model (compared to the base model) was calculated to compare and analyze the environmental performance between the passive design techniques. From the analysis, it was found that reducing the area of solar gain in summer or applying a solar shading device are the most effective passive design techniques for office buildings in temperate climates.
QUICK PROTOCOL FOR INTEGRATING THE ATTRIBUTE INFORMATION OF UNSTRUCTURED POINT CLOUD DATA INTO A SOLAR ENVELOPE SIMULATION
Authors: Alkadri Miktha Farid , De Luca Francesco , Turrin Michela , Agung Muhammad Rafif Cahyadi
Published: December 2023

This study proposes a novel method of solar geometry by considering the potential application of point cloud data combined with the simulation of solar radiation. With the support of geometric and radiometric information stored in the point cloud such as position information (XYZ) color information (RGB), and reflection intensity (I), architects may compensate for missing information on the existing context during the simulation, especially due to the limited capacity of current 3D modelling sites. However, the dataset often comes in the format of unstructured point cloud data retrieved from merged data scans and as a result, the radiometric information is difficult to occupy due to multiple reference points. Through a 3D subtractive procedure, this study not only examines volumetric samples of the three-dimensional matrix that fulfills the criteria of solar envelopes but also finds the optimal values of the merged data scan for input of solar radiation. In this regard, simulation of solar radiation contributes to identifying the most and the least exposed areas to the sun in existing contexts. This provides information related to visible sun hours that can be used to perform ray tracing analysis between the proposed 3D plot and surrounding contexts. Our proposed method ultimately helps architects not only generate solar geometry based on real contextual settings but also to understand comprehensively the microclimate conditions of the design context.
The Fluidity of World Order and Break from Past: Opportunities and Challenges
Authors: Mishra Sanjay
Published: December 2023

Global affairs are characterized by high fluidity and uncertainty as traditional geopolitical alliances and power structures undergo significant changes. This shift in the global order presents both opportunities and challenges for countries worldwide, especially those that have historically been marginalized or excluded from the global power structure. The potential for conflict and instability is one of the most significant challenges that this fluidity presents as countries seek to assert their influence on the global stage. Nevertheless, there are opportunities for collaboration and cooperation as countries seek to build new alliances and partnerships that are more responsive to the needs and aspirations of diverse populations. This break from past norms and institutions presents a chance to create more equitable and just systems of governance, but it requires bold leadership and a willingness to challenge entrenched interests. Emerging powers like China, India, and Brazil have a unique opportunity to shape the future of global governance and advance their interests while contributing to the greater good. Established powers like the United States and the European Union (EU) must adapt to new realities and collaborate with emerging powers to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes. Climate change, economic inequality, and global health threats are pressing issues that require urgent attention and collective action from the international community. Ultimately, the fluidity of the world order presents an opportunity for countries to redefine their roles and responsibilities within the global community and create new systems of governance that are more inclusive, responsive, and equitable. To realize this vision, strong international partnerships, innovation and creativity, and a commitment to democracy, human rights, and the rule of law are essential.

El calentamiento global, sumado al fenómeno de isla de calor, ha originado alzas en las temperaturas y con ello riesgo de sobrecalentamiento en las viviendas emplazadas en entornos urbanos, cada vez más sobrepoblados. Si bien las crecientes demandas de refrigeración pueden ser cubiertas mediante la ventilación natural, muchas veces ésta no puede ser aplicada por no contar con aberturas óptimas en las fachadas, o bien, por no tener la exposición necesaria a los vientos predominantes. Frente a esto, las torres de viento o “windcatchers” se presentan como potencial solución debido a su capacidad de captar viento por sobre los límites de la techumbre encausándolos al interior de la vivienda. Este trabajo evaluó mediante simulaciones el potencial de ventilación natural en viviendas pertenecientes a conjuntos residenciales, así como el aporte de la torre de viento a estas. Tras los resultados, se pudo evidenciar la ausencia de criterios de diseño en los conjuntos, que consideren al viento respecto a la orientación y exposición de las aberturas que presentan las viviendas. Confirmando para los casos desfavorables, el aporte de la torre de viento que, gracias a su naturaleza multidireccional, puede operar independiente de la orientación que tenga la vivienda respecto a los vientos.

Del psiquismo a la otredad:
Authors: Müller Marcos José
Published: December 2023

Este artículo propone una discusión sobre la intersección entre la filosofía francesa contemporánea y el psicoanálisis, específicamente enfocada en el tema de la “singularidad” en psicoanálisis, destacando autores como Politzer, Foucault y, especialmente, Merleau-Ponty. Se trata de pensar de qué manera estos autores buscan encauzar el tema de la singularidad en Freud. El objetivo es determinar cómo se puede definir la singularidad con la que se encontró Freud en su trabajo clínico de escucha a los pacientes y en qué sentido esta singularidad no se reduce a las formulaciones teóricas posteriormente desarrolladas por el psicoanalista en los términos de un sistema psíquico – y a las que Politzer denominó de abstractas. Se tiene en cuenta, muy especialmente, los esfuerzos de Merleau-Ponty de pensar la noción freudiana de singularidad en los términos de una nueva teoría, que se volvió conocida como teoría de la otredad, en la que el filósofo aproxima la singularidad a la noción de pulsión de muerte, anticipando lo que años más tarde Lacan llamaría “extimidad”. De donde se sigue la pregunta rectora de esta investigación: ¿qué es la singularidad en la clínica psicoanalítica y en qué sentido es posible que uno la escuche del otro sin someterla a una abstracción o saber impuesto como dispositivo?

The research has been conducted with the aim of assessing the situations where women who gave birth during the pandemic develop Vulnerable Baby Syndrome and their fear of COVID-19. The research that is descriptive and cross sectional has been performed with 320 mothers who are accessible and accommodate research criteria. Data have been obtained with the Questionnaire that was sent to participants through social media and by using the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S) and Vulnerable Baby Scale (VBS). It is found that the VBS average score (30.54±09.13) is higher than the cutoff score of the scale(27 score). It is indicated that FCV-19S average score of mothers is 18.52±06.90. No meaningful relation is observed when the correlation between the two scales is examined (r=0.08, p=0.15). As a conclusion, it is indicated that FCV-19S and VBS scores of the mothers are high and it is considered that growth and development of babies who are perceived as vulnerable by their mothers during the pandemic may be at risk. According to the outcome of this research, it can be said that high fear of COVID-19 and vulnerable baby syndrome in mothers affect mother and child mental health negatively.

In the last few decades, it is believed that the state of Mato Grosso has been the stage of a substantial increase in suicide rates. However, the extension of this issue in the health regions of the state is still unknown. Therefore, the goal of this study was to analyze the spatial distribution of suicides in Mato Grosso, Brazil, from 2008 to 2018. This is an ecological study, with spatial-temporal distribution. Data collection took place in 2020 and was carried out in the Information System on Mortality for the period from January 2008 to December 2018. The suicide rates were calculated and smoothed using the empirical Bayes method, aided by the software GeoDa 1.12. To construct the maps, we used the software ArcGis 10.5. There were 1,977 recorded suicides in Mato Grosso, especially in males (79.3%), single (50.6%), from 20 to 29 years old (23.7%), brown (55.4%), with low educational levels (52.2%). Most suicides were carried out by intentional self-harm by hanging, strangulation and suffocation in the residence. The spatial-temporal distribution showed that the mesoregions North and Northeast had the highest rates, especially in cities in the health regions of Mid-Araguaia (for both sexes) and Garças Araguaia (for males). Suicides have followed a random, unequal pattern throughout Mato Grosso, but focused in areas of little development, showing the need to invest in health, and to strengthen and value policies to bring human resources to attend to these demands. The health care network must be structured to do so.

Engaging men in family planning programs holds promise as a means to improve access and use of family planning in Nigeria. A growing number of programmatic examples and research findings in the region, as well as global evidence, demonstrate the benefits of male engagement. The aim of this study is to determine spousal involvement in issues pertaining to family planning usage by their wives. The community based study was carried out among married men in Akure South Local Government in Ondo state between May 2021 and August 2021 using a multistaged sampling method. One hundred and ninety-six men were sampled using a semi structured questionnaire developed by the author from previous similar studies with the aid of research assistants. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 22. Frequency tables were drawn and chi square used to test for association between respondents’ socio demographic characteristics and their support for contraception, p value was set at <0.05. One hundred and seventy-two (90.5%) respondents have heard about contraceptives before, health personnel being the commonest source of income. Condom happened to be known by 133 (71.9%) respondents.  Fifty (28.7%) respondents have good spousal involvement in contraception while 124 (71.3%) are poorly involved. The perceived reason why men do not support their wives in issues that pertain to family planning is because contraceptives are assumed to be women affair (101,55.5%). Also, the irreversible nature of family planning commodities was identified by 55, 30.6% respondents.  Occupation and estimated monthly income of respondents were statistically significant with spousal involvement with a p value of 0.030 and 0.012 respectively. Spousal support for family planning was poor in this study. More enlightenment and education is recommended to be offered to men in order to increase the uptake of family planning among women of reproductive age group.
