Published: June 2022

Pengabdian kepada masyarakat merupakan suatu media untuk menjembatani dunia pendidikan dengan masayarakat, dimana perekonomian dihadapkan pada masalah bagaimana agar warga masyarakat mampu menghadapi tantangan Era Revolusi Industri 4.0 saat ini. Salah satu menariknya kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat pada tahun 2020 ini, berdasarkan hasil sensus dalam rangka perapihan data potensi desa khususnya Desa Turide Timur Kecamatan Sandubaya Kota Mataram, diperoleh data dari hasil observasi dan wawancara, terdapat Panti Asuhan “Hidayaturrahman” di Turide Timur berlokasi di Jalan Lalu Mesir Sandubaya Cakranegara yang belum terjamah dan sangat membutuhkan perhatian dan dukungan dengan menggalakkan program “Menumbuhkembangkan Pemanfaatan Lahan Pekarangan Sebagai Ladang Kewirausahaan” terhadap anak-anak Panti Asuhan khusunya, yang tentunya berdampak pada kesejahteraan hidup mereka. Dari hasil wawancara dengan pemilik Yayasan Panti Asuhan “Hidayaturrahman”, masih sangat kurangnya sarana dan prasarana dan kelompok atau individu yang mendatangi Panti Asuhan untuk memberikan sosialisasi ilmu pengetahuan kepada anak-anak Panti Asuhan untuk program yang berkaitan dengan kegiatan ini. Info dari pemilik Yayasan, kelompok atau individu pemberi donasi hanya berkunjung memberikan sumbangan saja berupa materi dan non materi hingga saat ini. Selain itu juga masyarakat Desa Turide Timur Kecamatan Sandubaya pada umumnya, belum ada lembaga swadaya masyarakat yang bergerak secara aktif dalam pemanfaatan lahan pekarangan yang dapat dijadikan wadah bagi masyarakat sekitar untuk berwirausaha dan berkeinginan untuk meningkatkan pendapatan hidup mereka. Demi keberlangsungan kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini, maka digunakanlah metode yang dapat dicerna dan diserap langsung oleh anak-anak Panti Asuhan yakni; Metode “discussion and coaching in action”. Metode ini dapat kiranya melahirkan strategi yang tepat sekaligus menumbuhkan minat belajar anak-anak di Panti Asuhan “Hidayaturrahman” yakni strategi meningkatkan kreativitas, strategi menumbuhkan ide dan gagasan serta strategi membangun lingkungan yang sehat dan kondusif. Tujuan dari kegiatan ini, mereka akan menjadi seorang pengusaha milenial yang mampu berdiri sendiri. Dengan harapan mendatang, mereka tidak berhenti sampai disini saja dan akan terus berwiraswasta.
5G: Next Generation Mobile Wireless Technology for A Fast Pacing World
Authors: Onwuegbuzie Innocent
Published: June 2022

The quest for faster and seamless mobile communication services has given rise to the Fifth Generation (5G) mobile communication technology. 5G presents enormous opportunities for end-users, businesses, and the global economy at large. The major edge 5G has over its predecessor technologies; the 3rd and 4th Generation (3G and 4G), is ultra-low latency, which translates to ultra-fast data speed, which has the potential to peak to about 1Gbps at the frequency range of 6GHz to 100GHz. Its application of Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna technology enables it to beam dedicated radio signals to 5G enabled User Equipment (UEs) using the advanced beam steering algorithm. This results in maximum data throughput with ultra-high bandwidth transmission to end-user applications resulting in new and never-seen-before business opportunities across different industries, investments, and business services. By expanding the scope of wireless technologies and making devices more autonomous, 5G has the potential to reduce carbon emission footprint and encourage greener communities. The application of 5G cuts across all spheres of our lives; industry, transportation, education, communications, health, and businesses. 5G is more inclusive, progressive, proven, and powerful than any of its predecessor generations of communications technology. With more power and improved efficiency, 5G is on its way to creating a truly connected world.

Published: June 2022

This study examined financial development and economic growth in Nigerian from 1986 to 2020 using data sourced from the CBN statistical bulletin (2020). The Nigerian financial sector is fraught with fissures that have frustrated its potential to facilitate economic growth, Funds accumulated by financial intermediaries are insufficient to cater for the desired level of economic growth. The objective of this study is to find out how financial development has influenced the economy. Financial development was measured by money supply to GDP, insurance premiums to GDP, Stock market capitalization to GDP and private sector credit to GDP while economic growth was represented by real GDP. The study adopted the ex-post facto research design in conducting the research. The data was subjected to statistical analysis using the Ordinary Least Square regression. The findings of the study revealed that money supply to GDP and Market capitalization to GDP has positive and significant relationship with economic growth in Nigeria while private sector credit to GDP and insurance premiums to GDP ratio had negative relationship with economic growth in Nigeria. The study recommends that Credit to private sectors should be channeled to the real sector of the economy which will lead to economic growth .The monetary authorities should also ensure adequate supply of money to facilitate economic transactions for economic growth to desired levels, The monetary authorities should develop policies that aids entry of more establishments into the capital market and Insurance policies should be made to ensure the relevance and increased patronage of insurance sector in Nigeria

REPARAÇÃO CIVIL POR POLUIÇÃO MARINHA POR ÓLEO: UMA URGÊNCIA RATIFICATÓRIA PELO BRASIL
Authors: Propp Arend Andréia
Published: June 2022

Há tempos a poluição dos mares por óleo vem sendo preocupação regulatória na esfera mundial. O fundamento está na larga escala atingida pelo transporte marítimo, cujo combustível deriva do petróleo, bem como do próprio transporte de carga petrolífera. Grandes derramamentos são conhecidos, enquanto pequenos nem sempre chegam ao conhecimento das autoridades, mas que somados podem gerar danos tão graves ou maiores ao meio ambiente e à sociedade vitimada, quando comparados aos de grande escala. O presente estudo visa a evidenciar as normas internacionais de responsabilidade civil aplicáveis ao caso da poluição na costa brasileira por óleo, ocorrida em agosto de 2019. Na pesquisa será adotado o método de estudo de caso, com abordagem teórica e dedutiva, utilizando o método de procedimento de pesquisa documental. Para tanto, será utilizada a pesquisa bibliográfica e análise regulatória. A pesquisa contribui para demonstrar a urgência de o Brasil ratificar a Convenção Internacional sobre Responsabilidade Civil por Danos Causados por Poluição por Óleo (CLC/1992), e posterior protocolo do fundo suplementar; no sentido de que em situações semelhantes à ocorrida, o Brasil possa lançar mão de fundo internacional para dar suporte à implementação de planos de contenção e de pagamentos de indenizações às comunidades afetadas. É possível concluir que há previsão nas convenções internacionais para que os Estados partes contem com cobertura indenizatória com limitação de valores, bem como circunstâncias em que as limitações poderão ser desconsideradas a depender dos atos do causador do dano, como foi o caso da poluição na costa brasileira.
Too Privileged to Connect: An Open Letter to the Chinese Diaspora in the United States
Authors: Ping Yifan
Published: June 2022

On March 16, 2021, an atrocious incident occurred in Atlanta, US, ruthlessly taking the lives of eight people, six of whom were Asian women. Trembling in anguish and resentment, I wrote this open letter to our community of Chinese diaspora students in the United States. Writing bilingually in both Chinese and English, I discuss how we diaspora Chinese students in American universities should view and combat racism in the US. This article first debunks the myth of “model minority privilege” attached to Chinese Americans and then channels traditional Confucian thinking to illuminate anti-racist actions and endeavors. Finally, I urge the community to reconnect with our Chinese values and language to approach oppression and equity: to utter the inspiring voices of resistance, to see the powerful act of justice, and to use empathy to connect. This creative opinion piece does not shy away from multilingual writing or non-Western philosophy but rather harnesses the power of two languages and cultures to provoke novel ways in which diasporic communities can tackle racial inequality.
Wastewater Management in Nunavut: Public Health Concerns and Canadian Sanitation Inequities
Authors: Smith Gabrielle
Published: June 2022

Wastewater management is difficult and expensive at the best of times but is particularly challenging under harsh Arctic conditions. In Nunavut, wastewater is treated via waste stabilisation ponds because of their relatively low capital and operational costs, and minimal complexity. However, there are inefficiencies in the removal of pathogens relating to the extremely cold temperatures which limit the biological processes of wastewater treatment. As a result, serious public health risks are associated with the human exposure to untreated wastewater. This is particularly true for Indigenous populations that rely on traditional diets for sustenance. Engineering alone will not properly address the issue of wastewater management in Nunavut as Indigenous populations are chronically overlooked in Canadian public policy. Three aspects of Canadian legislation will be discussed in this paper that are imperative for the long-term fight for equality of water and sanitation.

Association of Sleep Disturbances with Body Mass Index and Age in Adult Participants
Authors: Schuster Snježana
Published: June 2022

The aim of this study was to examine the association between sleep disturbances, as an indicator of sleep quality, Body Mass Index, and age in adult participants. The study involved 73 participants (62 women and 11 men) with an average age of 35.74 years. Through an online questionnaire, we collected the data on participants’ height, body mass, gender, and sleep disturbances. Based on their height and mass, we calculated the Body Mass Index as an indicator of body fat for each participant. We used items from a shorter version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index to assess sleep disturbances. Participants were asked to answer how often they experienced different disturbances while falling asleep or sleeping in the last month. The results of the study indicated an association between sleep disturbances and Body Mass Index. Compared to participants who rarely experienced sleep disturbances, participants with frequent disturbances were more likely to have a high Body Mass Index (indicating excess mass or obesity). Although older participants in most cases had a high Body Mass Index compared to younger participants, no significant association was found between sleep disturbances and age. The results of the study also suggest that the association between sleep disturbances and Body Mass Index did not depend on the age of the participants. The research findings indicate that in addressing the issues of obesity and excess mass, public health attention should also be given to sleep quality issues.
Absenteeism due to Dementia and its Growing Economic Consequences in Slovenia in the Period 2015-2019
Authors: Jelenc Marjetka , Vidovič Maruška , Sambt Jože , Sedlak Sabina
Published: June 2022

Dementia has been the subject of numerous medical and anthropological studies for more than two decades. This serious neurodegenerative disease that mainly affects the elderly can occur also in people who are still employed which is associated with the impairment of their ability to work and consequently with costs. The aim of our study was to display the economic consequences due to health absenteeism related to dementia in Slovenia in the period from 2015 to 2019. The methodology of direct and indirect costs was used. We limited ourselves to show the indirect cost-health absenteeism due to dementia, which includes loss of goods, services, early retirement, and premature death. The Database on temporary absence from work was used as data source and International Classification of Diseases as the source of the diagnoses. The cost of absenteeism due to dementia amounted to 11% of all calculated indirect costs in the period 2015–2019. All indirect costs amounted to 0.025% of health expenditures. These costs are greatly underestimated due to various data limitations which we faced and due to many cases of undetected disease. The findings are in line with those from some other countries. The rapid diagnosis and treatment of dementia, changes in lifestyle, as well as the encouragement of employers of affected persons to keep them as long as possible active proved to be absolutely necessary in the light of maintenance of quality of life of patients and the reduction of costs.

Reticular epithelial edema after penetrating keratoplasty in a patient taking netarsudil
Authors: Jeang Lauren J. , Shah Ankit S. , Hammer Jon D. , Tuli Sonal S.
Published: June 2022

Netarsudil is a relatively new medication for the treatment of primary open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It has been associated with red eyes and burning after instillation. Reticular epitheliopathy is a relatively rare complication of netarsudil that has been described in patients with preexisting corneal edema. We report the case of a healthy 76-year-old woman who developed reticular epitheliopathy after full-thickness penetrating keratoplasty that completely resolved following discontinuation of the medication. In cases where netarsudil is initiated for treatment of glaucoma or, off-label, endothelial dysfunction, reticular epithelial edema should be considered in patients complaining of a decline in vision and severe pain.

Published: June 2022

Objective: The primary goal was to identify the effectiveness of chemical or biological additives in delaying the deterioration of early-harvested wilted rye silage after exposure to air.Methods: Rye harvested as a whole plant at the early heading stage was wilted for 24 h. The wilted forage was divided into treatments including sodium diacetate (SDA) at 3 (SDA3) and 6 g/kg (SDA6), Lactobacillus plantarum (LP), L. buchneri (LB), or their equal mixture (LP+LB) at 1×106 colony-forming unit/g fresh matter.Results: After 60 d of conservation in 20-L silos, lactic acid was greater in LP and LP+LB silages than other treatments (102 vs 90.2 g/kg dry matter [DM]). Acetic acid was greatest in SDA6 (32.0 g/kg DM) followed by LB (26.1 g/kg DM) and was lowest in LP treatment (4.73 g/kg DM). Silage pH was lower with microbial inoculation and the lowest and highest values were observed in LP and untreated silages, respectively. After 60 d, neutral detergent fiber concentration was lowest in SDA6 silages, resulting in the greatest in vitro DM digestibility (846 g/kg DM). Aerobic stability was longest in SDA6 (176 h) followed by LB treatment (134 h). Instability after aerobiosis was greatest in LP silages (68 h), about 8 h less than untreated silages. After aerobic exposure, yeast and mold numbers were lowest in SDA6 silages, resulting in DM loss minimization. Exhaustion of acetic acid and lactic acid after aerobic exposure was lowest with SDA6 but greatest with untreated and LP silages.Conclusion: Treatment of early-cut wilted rye forage with SDA at 6 g/kg resulted in silages with higher feeding value and fermentation quality, and substantially delayed deterioration after aerobic exposure, potentially qualifying SDA at this load for promotion of silage quality and delaying aerobic spoilage of early-harvested (low DM) rye forage.

Published: June 2022

O artigo analisa as dificuldades encontradas pelos alunos de uma instituição de ensino superior (IES) privada confessional, para continuidade do semestre, a partir da adoção de atividades remotas, devido à pandemia da COVID-19. Foram consideradas características dos estudantes assim como dos cursos em que estão matriculados. Os dados são provenientes da avaliação conduzida pela Comissão Própria de Avaliação (CPA) da IES. As dificuldades analisadas abordam diferentes aspectos vivenciados no contexto de educação baseada no ensino remoto, durante a crise sanitária, que podem ser resumidas em dois grupos: (i) as de ordem biopsicossocial, incluindo problemas de concentração, de saúde, conciliação das atividades escolares e domésticas e (ii) as de ordem tecnológica, como acesso e funcionamento de equipamentos e dispositivos. O método de análise foi a análise de regressão logística e os principais resultados apontam que dentre as dificuldades de natureza biopsicossocial houve destaque para a dificuldade de concentração, sendo mais reportada entre as mulheres, os alunos mais jovens, os que estudam no horário da tarde ou em período integral. Dentre as dificuldades de ordem tecnológica, observou-se que a falta de conhecimento se relaciona com idade, foi maior em alunos dos cursos das áreas de Ciências Humanas e Ciências Biológicas, menor entre os bolsistas PROUNI/Fies e maior entre aqueles com menor quantidade de horas semanais dedicadas aos estudos.
Evaluation of a Long-Distance IEEE 802.11ah Wireless Technology in Linux Using Docker Containers
Authors: Aleksandrovs-Moisejs Daniils , Ipatovs Aleksandrs , Grabs Elans , Rjazanovs Dmitrijs
Published: June 2022

Wireless technologies are essential for modern people to maintain uninterrupted connection to the Internet. The most popular standards for wireless technologies are standards of the IEEE 802.11 family. Currently, data transmission rate achievable by IEEE 802.11ac or 802.11ax standards can reach up to 10 Gbit/s. Different IEEE standards have specific data transmission rates. For example, the IEEE 802.11ah standard or Wi-Fi HaLow (code name) operates in the 900 MHz band, which is an unlicensed frequency band below 1 GHz, and is called the “Sub-1-GHz” range. In theory, this standard can provide coverage range of up to 543 meters indoors and data transfer rate of up to 347 Mbit/s (using a maximum of four spatial streams and 16 MHz channel bandwidth). The great benefit of the 802.11ah standard is low energy consumption, which enables communication between devices from the Internet of Things (IoT) over long distances without using a lot of energy. The Wi-Fi HaLow standard is being studied by the authors of the presented article in the ns-3 network simulation program with the 802.11ah module installed and implemented in Docker containers, VirtualBox Virtual Machines (VMs) with a running Linux operating system. During the simulations, results were obtained for the Docker containers simulation with a limited number of stations over different simulation times. These results have been studied in different scenarios. In the scenarios, the results of the Wi-Fi HaLow network simulation were converted into another simulation time, and thus were compared with each other.
Optimization of Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Controller Using Real-Coded Quantum Clonal Selection Algorithm
Authors: Satir Esra , Baser Ekrem
Published: June 2022

In recent years, quantum computing has gained immense popularity with the production of real quantum computers. Researchers have developed quantum-inspired evolutionary algorithms (QIEAs) to solve combinatorial optimization problems and have obtained successful results. As a special case of QIEAs, real-coded quantum evolutionary algorithm (RCQEA) is used in the optimization of high-dimensional complex problems. In this study, a novel mechanism of the quantum rotation gate (QRG) that is used to determine the rotation angle of the qubit in the RCQEA is introduced and implemented to accelerate the evolutionary process and increase the possibility of finding the optimal solution. Moreover, the skeleton of RCQEA is modified by using a clonal selection mechanism, and the real-coded quantum clonal selection algorithm (RCQCSA) is developed. Our proposed QRG accelerates the convergence speed of the algorithm. The main purpose of this study is to present a more effective algorithm that inspires quantum computing principles for optimizing the interval type-2 fuzzy logic controller (IT2FLC) membership functions (MFs). In this study, four different comparisons are made with these two different algorithms that have the original version of QRG and our proposed QRG. Optimized IT2FLC provides stabilization of the inverted pendulum system. The results show that the RCQCSA having our proposed QRG outperforms RCQEA in stabilizing the inverted pendulum system by optimizing the IT2FLC parameters.

Exploring drug-surfactant interactions and their impact on the intrinsic surface properties of aqueous dissolution media
Authors: Greensides Phoebe , McAllister Mark , Sarcevica Inese , Tomaszewska Irena
Published: June 2022

Surfactants are often used to improve the solubility of a compound for dissolution studies in aqueous media. Having observed non-linear solubility enhancement with increasing surfactant concentration, this study investigated the effect of a poorly soluble, zwitterionic, moderately lipophilic drug, Compound A, on the critical micelle concentration (CMC)of sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) in phosphate buffer. A force tensiometer was used to measure the surface tension of the solutions over a range of surfactant concentrations. The presence of Compound A demonstrated a decrease in the CMC, suggesting that the solution favours micellisation at lower surfactant concentrations in the presence of the drug. Future studies will use a fully saturated solution of Compound A to explore this observation further. Additional experiments will also investigate micelle formation of SLS with other compounds.
Investigating the Impact of Shear Flow on Nanoparticle-Protein Interactions
Authors: Daramy Karim , Walker Joshua , Pei Yiwen , Minelli Caterina , Perrie Yvonne , Rattray Zahra
Published: June 2022

Most nanoparticle-based therapies are intended for intravenous administration, exposing them to associated hemodynamic parameters and the presence of cells and biomacromolecules post-administration. While most efforts in nanomedicine development focus on formulation stability, the range of biologically-relevant approaches probing nanoparticle stability in biological media remains limited in scope. In the present study, we examine the role of surface chemistry in nanoparticle-protein interactions using three polystyrene latex nanoparticle chemistries. These nanoparticles were treated in media mimicking cell culture conditions, and the impact of static co-incubations versus flow on nanoparticle parameters was compared. Following treatment with protein-containing media, we performed an analysis of nanoparticle parameters using either the centrifugation-wash step or in-situ analyses to compare the effects of isolation protocols on nanoparticle physicochemical parameters. Overall, our findings show that flow and sample recovery methods significantly impacted the concentration and composition of surface-adsorbed proteins. Amine-modified latex nanoparticles showed the most pronounced susceptibility to flow and nanoparticle isolation techniques. The implications of this work lie in the development of more biologically-relevant and harmonized approaches in measuring the nanoparticle protein corona, since sample preparation techniques and analytical approaches used, may impact the translational scope and relevance of assays used to measure nanoparticle interactions with biological media.
ANALYSING THE DYNAMICS OF THE BALTIC STATES’S PRODUCTION LINKAGES WITH RUSSIA
Authors: Varnavskii Vladimir G.
Published: June 2022

Russia and the Baltic States have a long-standing relationship of industrial specialisation, cooperation, division of labour and trade exchange, all dating back to the Soviet Union. Today, this relationship is facing a tough test amid political and ideological challenges and risks. The last two years have seen a profound and large-scale crisis caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, the production linkages between Russia and the Baltic States have adapted in response to the existing problems, remaining resistant to the geopolitical and pandemic shocks. This article examines the production linkages between Russia and the Baltic countries, investigating the export-import flows of consumer and intermediate goods in 2003—2020. A comparative study of the Baltic States’ production linkages with Russia and their main partners in the EU — Germany and Finland — is carried out. It is concluded that, before the introduction of sanctions in 2014 and the world trade crisis of 2015—2016, Russia was a more promising market than Germany and Finland for the Baltic States’ companies trading in intermediate goods.
Looking beyond rape and war: The need to take violence prevention seriously in Women, peace and security
Authors: López Castañeda , Myrttinen Henri
Published: June 2022

In the two decades since its inception, the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda has arguably had its greatest impact in terms of opening up discussions on women in conflict, in opening up security sector institutions for women and in setting up new mechanisms to try to counter conflict-related sexual violence. While this is in many ways commendable, this has also led to the militarisation of WPS, a narrow focus only on particular forms of gender-based violence, and led to a disengagement with the overarching goal of preventing armed violence in the first place. It has also led to a false perception that WPS only relates to armed conflict. Furthermore, where WPS-related consultation and participation mechanisms have been set up, these are often side-lined in times of crisis. Drawing on experience from working on WPS issues in various contexts, we argue for a fundamental rethink of the approach to 'prevention' in WPS, for a strengthening of the 'peace' element of WPS, and for a closer linking of WPS with other agendas such as climate change response, disarmament, social inequality, corruption, broader gender equality and gender transformation for the agenda to go beyond 'making war safe for women. ' These shifts need to be properly reflected in national and local implementation of WPS but also based on a more intersectional and comprehensive approach to gender.
Exilio y horror en las obras de María Zambrano y Adriana Cavarero
Authors: Enquist Källgren Karolina
Published: June 2022

El exilio es a la vez una experiencia autobiográfico y tema de reflexión en la obra de María Zambrano. En este artículo propongo una lectura de las figuras del exilio y del exiliado como Gedankenexperiment – un razonar hipotético e imaginario sobre un caso concreto - que permite a la autora desarrollar un argumento filosófico pero dentro del marco del lenguaje figurativo. Esta manera de interpretar las figuras mencionadas me permite trazar la circulación de figuras y la influencia de Zambrano en el desarrollo de la filosofía bio-política italiana, sobre todo en la autora Adriana Cavarero. Al nivel del argumento filosófico la lectura me permite ver como Zambrano y Cavarero entienden al exilio y el exiliado como un límite interior a la

patria y las conclusiones éticas a las que llegan a partir de esta idea. Concluyo que la manera de trabajar con figuras literarias es una estrategia de estilo consciente que intenta hacer efectivo la postura ética producida en la elaboración sobre el exilio

The aim of the present study was to translate the Interpersonal Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (IERQ) into the Tamil language and examine its psychometric properties in the Indian cultural context. Data were collected from a dyadic sample of 340 married heterosexual couples (N = 680) currently residing in India. The mean age of husbands was 39.57 (SD = 6.10; 26 ≥ range ≤ 58), and the wives’ was 35.33 (SD = 5.72; 23 ≥ range ≤ 54). Descriptive results indicated that husbands and wives reported similar levels of interpersonal emotion regulation. Confirmatory factor analysis showed a 20-item model with four factors—enhancing positive affect, perspective-taking, soothing and social modeling, similar to the original version, fits the data well. Furthermore, the multiple-group analysis indicated robust measurement invariance across gender (husbands vs. wives), family type (joint vs. nuclear) and marriage type (arranged vs. love), indicating that the Tamil version of the IERQ operates similarly across these groups. Besides, the Tamil version of the IERQ showed good convergent and discriminant validity with measures of dyadic coping and relationship satisfaction. Implications for research and couples therapy in the Indian cultural context are discussed.

This systematic review study analyzed the evidence of validity of the Dyadic Coping Inventory’s internal structure. This instrument measures the quality of communication and the strategies of marital coping in face of the stress experienced. Stress can affect the stability and maintenance of marital relationships depending on how it is faced by the couple. The measure is a reduced version of the Dyadic Coping Questionnaire and has been applied to various cultural contexts. This research study was registered at the International Pros­pective Register of Systematic Reviews database. Searches for publications were made on the Capes' Portal Periódico and Google Scholar, not refining the results. Two independent researchers selected, extracted, and evaluated the data. For the validity analysis of the internal structure, the Standards for Education and psychological Testing were consulted. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Statement was used to summarize the review. Of the 722 studies found, 15 were selected, from the Scopus, Web of Science, John Wiley & Sons, Directory of Open Access Journals, DergiPark, Pubmed and Taylor & Francis Online databases. All articles included were quantitative, cross-sectional and peer reviewed studies, mostly carried out in Europe and in 14 different languages. Despite variations in the number of factors and items, the instrument has shown to be stable and invariant across genders and cultures. These results suggested a reliable score to measure Dyadic Coping. This review can contribute to clinical practice and research in marital and family relationships.

Objectives: To analyze the effect of risedronate hydrogel on enzyme alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and osteoclast/osteoblast ratio during tooth relapse movement

Materials and methods: The research design is experimental with time series. The lower incisors of 75 guinea pigs are distally moved using open coil spring. The guinea pigs were divided into three groups: without risedronate (group A; n = 25); given 250 µmol/L of risedronate hydrogel (group B; n = 25), and given 500 µmol/L of risedronate hydrogel (group C; n = 25). Risedronate were applied intrasulcularly in the mesial part of the gingival sulcus every 3 days. After 14 days of stabilization, the open coil spring was removed (bisphosphonate administration was continued). The relapsed teeth and ALP levels on days 0, 3, 7, 14, and 21 were measured. The osteoclast/osteoblast ratio was measured by hematoxylin and eosin staining. ANOVA test was used to determine the difference in the three groups and their interactions with concentration and time.

Results: There was a significant difference in osteoclast/osteoblast ratio on day 3 (p = 0.019, p
INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS FOR PRECISION DENTAL DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT PLANNING – A REVIEW

Machines have changed the course of mankind. Simple machines were the basis of human civilization. Today with humongous technological development, machines are intelligent enough to carry out very complex nerve-racking tasks. The ability of a machine to learn from algorithms changed eventually into, the machine learning by itself, which constitutes artificial intelligence. Literature has plausible evidence for the use of intelligent systems in medical field. Artificial intelligence has been used in the multiple denominations of dentistry. These machines are used in the precision diagnosis, interpretation of medical images, accumulation of data, classification and compilation of records, determination of treatment and construction of a personalized treatment plan. Artificial intelligence can help in timely diagnosis of complex dental diseases which would ultimately aid in rapid commencement of treatment. Research helps us understand the effectiveness and challenges in the use of this technology. The apt use of intelligent systems could transform the entire medical system for the better.
Kvalitativ forskning om situeret ulighed i skolen
Authors: Højholt Charlotte
Published: June 2022

Denne artikel diskuterer modsætninger og muligheder i kvalitativ forskning med forskning om ulighed i skolen som eksempel. På baggrund af en begrebsmæssig diskussion af hverdagslivets historiske dimensioner udforskes skolen som en social praksis hvor mange deltagere i situeret samspil med hinanden lever hverdagsliv og udgør betingelser for hinandens livsførelse. Artiklen vil pege på muligheden for gennem kvalitativ udforskning af skolens sociale situationer at fremanalysere sammenhænge mellem politiske konflikter i og om skolen, personlige konflikter i hverdagslivet og ulige betingelser for at deltage i skolelivet – det er netop sådanne sammenhænge kvalitativ metode kan bidrage til at forstå. Herigennem vil artiklen diskutere metodologiske udfordringer for kvalitativ psykologi særlig forholdet mellem forskere, og dem de forsker med - og både i relation til begrebsudvikling, situeret generalisering og mere praktiske guidelines for forskningssamarbejde og feltarbejde. Formålet er at bidrage til udviklingen af sprog, begreber og metodologi for kvalitativ psykologi.
Fokus på det relationelle møde med personer med demens i demensrehabiliteringsindsatsen
Authors: Ottesen Aase Marie
Published: June 2022

I artiklen gives et bud på, hvordan kvalitativ-psykologisk forskning kan udmønte sig i praksis indenfor demensrehabilitering samt på den betydning, det kan have at fokusere på relationen som indgangsport til at skulle udføre vanskelige pleje- og omsorgsopgaver hos personer med demens i sundhedsvæsenet. Aktuelt findes der ikke medicin, der kan helbrede demens, hvorfor der er et udtalt behov for, at vi i demensrehabiliteringsindsatsen udvikler psykosociale metoder og interventionsformer, der kan medvirke til, at personer med demens får et tåleligt og værdigt liv til trods for sygdommens uundgåelige udvikling. Artiklen sætter fokus på, hvordan værdighed og respektfuldhed kan understøttes i det relationelle møde med personer med demens gennem en personorienteret tilgang og gennem brugen af sang, musik og musiske elementer. Med baggrund heri bliver der, igennem en tematisk analyse, illustreret følgende fire betydningsdannende tematikker: 1) Udgangspunkt i personens livshistorie og musikbiografi. 2) Mødet og musikalsk nærvær. 3) Nuets betydning og musikalske nu-øjeblikke i relationen. 4) Nuværende  øjeblikke og vitalitetsformers betydning for det relationelle mødes kvalitet.
Reform eller stabilitet?
Authors: Oute Jeppe , Johansen Katrine Schepelern
Published: June 2022

Artiklens formål er at identificere, analysere og diskutere udviklingen af velfærdsrationa- lerne i de nationale politikker, der i perioden 2009-2019 er offentliggjort som politiske bud på at styre og forandre det psykiatriske område i Danmark. I lyset af Bacchis tilgang til analyse af politiske velfærdsrationaler undersøges de tre elementer, som tilsammen kon- stituerer rationalerne i politikkerne i perioden: 1) De generiske måder hvorpå målgrup- pen beskrives i perioden, 2) de politiske redskaber der foreslås til at forandre og håndtere målgruppen i perioden og 3) de begrundelser der bruges i politikkerne til at legitimere indsatserne gennem perioden. Målgruppen repræsenteres som risikable, syge, sårbare, om- kostningsfulde og i særlige tilfælde farlige og komplekse. Repræsentationen danner grund- lag for en betoning af civilsamfundets ansvar, frivillighed recovery og forebyggelse, mens fremstillingen af de farlige og komplekse lægger op til øget brug af tvang. Velfærdsrationa- lerne i perioden afspejler, at majoriteten af målgruppen frivilligt forventes at påtage sig rollen som risikabel, sårbar og psykisk syg og deltage i de beskrevne tiltag for ikke at belaste velfærdsstaten. Trods en politisk ambition om en omfattende reform af det psykiatriske område, der imødekommer udfordringer som stigmatisering, umyndiggørelse og ulighed i sundhed, reflekterer politikkerne i stigende grad, at staten er villig til at fratage hele eller dele af ikke-frivilligt-deltagende og farlige personers selvbestemmelse igennem perioden. Derved repræsenterer politikkernes velfærdsrationaler ikke et bud på en radikal ændring af psykiatriens struktur, organisering og funktion. I stedet har de sidste ti års velfærdspolitik- ker stabiliseret paradigmet i det eksisterende system, snarere end at radikalt reformere det.
A proverbial double-edged sword
Authors: McPherson Susan , Oute Jeppe
Published: June 2022

The notion of family and carer involvement appears throughout European mental health policy and guidelines. However, it has been noted that carer involvement policy may derive from a responsibilization agenda rather than from evidence that it genuinely supports re- covery. We review qualitative research on family life with depression from the perspective of people with depression. Studies were included if they elicited accounts from adults with a professional diagnosis of depression. Nineteen studies were included which incorporated the experiences of 493 adults with depression. A metasynthesis of findings from these stu- dies is discussed within three themes: family issues and depression interact; family support as a double-edged sword; benefits and limitations of psychosocial interventions. Findings reveal a complex inter-relationship between family roles, relationship dynamics, gender, culture and attitudes towards depression. Family involvement in primary care and medical settings can be a double-edged sword and the perceived benefit may depend on the extent to which family perspectives on treatment fit with the depressed person’s understanding of their depression as medical or psychosocial. Psychosocial interventions for individual cli- ents have several limitations in terms of improving family relationships while family-based group interventions may be more beneficial, depending on the engagement of the family and the partner in particular. The review findings emphasise the complexity of family life with depression indicating that the requirement for ‘carer involvement’ as simplified in cur- rent policies and guidelines is naïve policy at best and that family or couple psychosocial interventions may often be more appropriate.
