Authors: BAHRUDDİN Urıl , RAMADHANTI FEBRIANI Sucı
Published: December 2020

The Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) creates challenges for Arabic learning at Indonesian Islamic Colleges. The limitations of the language learning process during the pandemic caused various problems. In addition, using learning strategies requires special planning related to differences in face-to-face learning processes into learning with online systems. Arabic is a compulsory subject that helps students acquire communication skills in a foreign language. This research describes students' perceptions of Arabic online learning at a public Islamic college in Malang. It also examines the strategies for learning during the COVID-19 emergency. The study uses a qualitative approach for data collection through observation, interviews, and documentation. Research samples were taken from students in semester 2nd to semester 6th with varying abilities. The data analysis is carried out using triangulation techniques in several steps, and involves collection, reduction, and conclusion. The results showed that students perceive Arabic online learning to be less effective. Some factors that do not support online learning such as the lack of instructions given by lecturers, limited internet connection, lack of internal motivation of students, lack of discussion hours. Several strategies are used, including discussions, lectures, singing, presentations, studying literature, and writing. The use of Arabic learning resources in online media illustrates the process of independent learning for students. The results provide input for integrating all components of learning holistically and variedly for students to remain motivated irrespective of the condition. This study recommends other researchers to examine and improve what skills teachers need to have when learning online and efforts to increase student interest in the language learning process with an online system.

Published: December 2020

The use of interesting instructional media such comics can affect students' motivation. However, insufficient instructional media can demotivate students in learning. The purposes of this study were to produce a folklore-based comic, to determine the feasibility and students’ response to the comic, and to describe the increasing of students’ motivation after using the comic. The study was conducted at Senior High School 1 Muaro Jambi and the participants were 25 science students of grade 11th in 2019. The type of research was used pre-test and post-test single group design model. The ADDIE model used for prepared instructional designs of folklore-based comics. The folklore-based comic instructional designs validated by material and instructional media experts before being implemented to students. The data of experts’ validations, students’ responses and motivations were collected by using questionnaire of experts’ validation, students’ responses, and students’ motivation. The result of this study is Newton’s law comic based on Indonesian folklore, Orang Kayo Hitam, that originated from Jambi region. The result of material validation is X ̅=3.77 in the good category and instructional media validation is X ̅=3.62 in the good category. The assessment of students in the form of response questionnaire is X ̅=4.31 in the very good category. The gain value of students’ motivation after using the comic is 0.39 in the medium category. It can be concluded that the folklore-based comic is feasible to use in learning and get positive responses from the students. The comic also can be used as an alternative medium to increase students’ motivation significantly (t(24)=-5.185, p<.005) and assist them to understand Newton’s law concepts easier.
Empowering of the teacher’s identity crisis for supporting quality young gifted education
Authors: MUSLİMİN Imam
Published: December 2020

To support good education for young gifted children, needed teachers who have a strong character, in ‎terms of principles, professionalism, and identity. If the teachers who teach these gifted children have ‎weak characters, either because of internal or external factors, then the resulting education is not ‎optimal. One of the important factors that must be considered is the teacher's identity. The topic of ‎empowering teacher's identity in young gifted education has less attention from researchers even ‎though this theme is essential to study. This study aims to determine the problems faced by private ‎school teachers in young gifted education, how it impacts their professional identity crisis, and what ‎strategies proposed to strengthen their identity crisis? Research conducted a qualitative approach. Data ‎were collected through open questionaries distributed to 45 teachers. After data analyzed qualitatively, ‎the researcher goes to choosing 16 teachers involved in the Focus Discussion Group (FGD) for ‎deepening the theme and data validity. This study revealed that teachers of private elementary schools ‎face many problems, which in turn losing their teacher's professional identity. Three types of teachers ‎concerning identity crisis were founded. Most of them vulnerable to change their teacher's professional ‎identity. Strategies to empower their identity crisis as professional teachers proposed.‎

Restitución de tierras en Antioquia, Colombia. Base para la consolidación del sujeto de derecho mujer y sus repercusiones en el posacuerdo
Authors: Posada Pérez Natalia María
Published: December 2020

En la tradición jurídica colombiana las mujeres han sido desconocidas e invisibilizadas como dueñas de la tierra, con capacidad de decisión y de administración. El propósito de este artículo es analizar la construcción del sujeto de derecho mujer en torno a la tierra, a partir del seguimiento a la posición de las mujeres en la normatividad rural colombiana. Para ello se retoma el testimonio de campesinas antioqueñas reclamantes de tierras, con la hipótesis de que la reparación bajo la Ley 1448 de 2011 es una pieza clave para el reconocimiento de las mujeres en tanto sujetos de derecho. Con el auxilio de teorías feministas y la perspectiva de género, se presenta la trayectoria de campesinas en torno a la tierra desde el anonimato jurídico, la pérdida del terreno en el marco del conflicto armado y la reclamación del predio bajo la citada Ley, cerrando con el reconocimiento de la titularidad de derechos a través de la figura de la reclamación y lo que esto significa en un contexto de posacuerdo mediante la resignificación de la victimización.
Incorporación política posinsurgente en Colombia, 1991-2019. Actores extrasistémicos y sistema de partidos
Authors: Rojas Usma Didiher Mauricio
Published: December 2020

Este artículo hace un análisis espacial del sistema de partidos colombiano durante el periodo 1991-2019, con particular énfasis en la incorporación de actores extrasistémicos vía negociación y acuerdos de paz. La delimitación espaciotemporal se traza desde la promulgación de la Constitución Política de 1991, la cual marcó el cambio del sistema bipartidista colombiano a uno de tipo multipartidista, y la firma del Acuerdo de Paz del Teatro Colón con la guerrilla de las FARC-EP. Metodológicamente, el artículo retoma la técnica de análisis espacial unidimensional de Gary Hoskin (1990) —Izquierda-Derecha—pero sugiere la integración de un nuevo eje —Alto-Bajo— para el estudio del espacio político partidista desde múltiples polos (Ostiguy, 2009a). El argumento central de trabajo es que la progresiva incorporación de los actores insurgentes extrasistémicos por la vía de partidos políticos posinsurgentes (Holland, 2016) ha permitido la aparición de un espacio político multipolar previamente invisibilizado e inhabilitado por las dinámicas bélicas y la violencia prolongada; asimismo, dicho espacio político multipolar abre la puerta al análisis del sistema de partidos colombiano en los ámbitos nacional y subnacional.

Background: We hypothesized that a diet with old man saltbush hay used as an alternative source of nutrients could partially replace the concentrate in the feeding of feedlot lambs. Objective: This study evaluated the behavior and performance of lambs fed diets containing increasing levels of old man saltbush hay plus concentrate. Methods: Twenty-four castrated Santa Inês lambs at approximately eight months of age (22 ± 1.97 kg) were confined in a randomized complete design and fed diets containing 30, 40, 50, and 60% (dry matter: DM) of old man saltbush hay. Results: The intake of DM and neutral detergent fiber was not affected (p>0.05) by the level of old man saltbush hay. Intake of mineral salt decreased (p<0.01) as the proportion of old man saltbush in the diet increased. Weight gain (kg) and feed efficiency worsened (p<0.05) with 40% inclusion of old man salt bush hay. The time spent on feeding and chewing increased (p<0.05), while idle time was reduced (p<0.01) with dietary inclusion of old man saltbush. Feed efficiency decreased (p<0.05) with the inclusion of old man saltbush. Conclusion: Dietary inclusion of old man saltbush affects the feeding behavior and performance of lambs in feedlot.

El programa “Más Sonrisas para Chile” fue creado para generar un impacto en la calidad de vida de las mujeres participantes, sin embargo, las evaluaciones han estado centradas en el cumplimiento de metas. El objetivo del estudio fue determinar la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud oral (CVRSO) en mujeres que participaron en el programa “Más Sonrisas para Chile” en el Centro de Salud Familiar San Pedro (CESFAM). Método: se realizó un estudio cuantitativo, descriptivo-correlacional, transversal, con una muestra no probabilística de 120 mujeres. Para medir la CVRSO se utilizó la escala Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) y un cuestionario de preguntas sobre variables demográficas y odontológicas. Las entrevistas se realizaron en el propio CESFAM. Resultados: los componentes de la CVRSO más afectados son malestar psicológico y dolor físico. Las dimensiones que experimentan cambios significativos en la CVRSO fueron: limitación funcional, malestar psicológico, discapacidad psicológica y percepción global. Conclusiones: el programa Más Sonrisas para Chile impacta positivamente en la percepción de la CVRSO de las mujeres participantes, con diferencias significativas en los promedios posparticipación.
PRECAUCIONES DEL ORTODONCISTA EN LA ATENCIÓN DE PACIENTES CON AFECCIONES PERIODONTALES
Authors: Sandoval-Vidal Paulo , Sanhueza-Rodríguez Carolina , Vogel-Alvarez Roberto , García-Alarcón Nerilda
Published: December 2020

La enfermedad periodontal avanzada es de las enfermedades orales más comunes, así como las maloclusiones, que son anomalías muy frecuentes. Se ha discutido ampliamente si el tratamiento de ortodoncia es perjudicial para los tejidos periodontales, debido a un aumento en la retención de placa bacteriana y un cambio en la microflora oral. Se han sugerido factores que permiten evaluar la susceptibilidad del paciente y algunas precauciones que se debe tener durante el tratamiento de ortodoncia. Es de vital importancia que el ortodoncista tome en consideración la susceptibilidad que tiene el paciente de padecer enfermedad periodontal y que durante el tratamiento tome las medidas necesarias para minimizar la retención de placa bacteriana.
Narrativas visuales, experiencias rituales y proyecciones virtuales. Un estudio de caso: la romería de santa Marta de Ribarteme (Pontevedra)
Authors: Sánchez Pérez Laura
Published: December 2020

Las romerías son un reclamo turístico en alza, lo que puede conllevar una transformación de las nociones de ocio y participación, vinculándose más al espectáculo que a la expresividad religiosa. En este sentido, ciertas romerías atraen a gran cantidad de espectadores que interactúan con los actores sociales en estos términos; todo ello supone modificaciones en la praxis que pueden generar tensiones o conflictos entre los distintos participantes. Este es el caso de la Romería de Santa Marta de Ribarteme (Pontevedra), en la que los devotos van en procesión dentro de ataúdes. En este artículo se expondrán las diferencias en la concepción del ritual estimuladas por las narrativas visuales de la experiencia, así como también las repercusiones que tienen sobre la proyección misma de la celebración, especialmente en el entorno virtual.
Inclusión en el aula de Educación Física: desarrollo de la identidad de género
Authors: Merino Gutiérrez Adelina , García Miguélez Carlos
Published: December 2020

Tal como lo reconocen los expertos en la materia, el concepto de Educación Inclusiva (EI) es complejo y aún no se encuentra definido del todo dentro de la comunidad educativa. A pesar de su creciente presencia en el entorno educativo, se observa que esta se ha mantenido ligada a la idea de que supone el avance desde el modelo de integración que favorece la atención de los niños con NEE, desconociendo su carácter más amplio y el papel que juega en el desarrollo de la identidad de género de los menores. De esta manera, se pretende establecer de forma general en qué punto se encuentra la investigación académica en el ámbito de la EI en el área de Educación Física, en relación con la identidad de género. Entre otras cosas, se pudo concluir que, en la actualidad, la sociedad está claramente marcada por el binarismo hombre-mujer, masculino-femenino, a pesar de que las posibilidades de género son muy diversas. Para valorar tal diversidad es necesario abolir las normas que regulan los géneros y las expectativas hacia los individuos en función de su sexo o género.
Ensino remoto: aproximações teóricas sobre formação e prática docente
Authors: Janete de Lima Maria
Published: December 2020

O artigo Ensino remoto: aproximação teórica sobre formação e prática docente tem como finalidade refletir: sobre a formação e construção da docência na universidade, sobre a importância do saber teórico e prático, sobre a necessidade dessa construção ter como lócus de referência o cotidiano escolar e contextualizar o ensino remoto como metodologia de ensino em tempos de pandemia. A reflexão sobre o ensino remoto se mostra importante no processo de formação posto que a contemporaneidade vem requerer desse profissional da educação habilidades novas e diferentes das habilidades requeridas no ambiente presencial de ensino. Para a ideia deste escrito considera-se as denominações ensino remoto, ensino a distância, ensino on line e ensino virtual como similares posto que são expressões utilizadas no modelo de ensino que vem se estruturando nas políticas públicas de educação. A formação nos cursos de licenciatura empreendida até o momento não contempla formar professores para o ensino virtual, on line, remoto. Acrescido a isto se pode questionar a formação, posto que as dificuldades de formação não se definem apenas na apropriação das tecnologias para o ensino remoto, e sim em refletir e desenvolver novas estratégias para minimizar os impactos negativos sobre a aprendizagem no ambiente virtual.

Activismo político y arte actual
Authors: Villalobos Herrera Álvaro
Published: December 2020

En el arte actual el sincretismo se entiende como la categoría que aglutina de manera abstracta los efectos que provienen de diferentes creencias, dogmas, comportamientos y lugares que se contraponen para producir un resultado en los modos de obrar, sentir, pensar y actuar que afectan los procesos creativos. El reconocimiento del sincretismo en el arte surge de la mezcla y coparticipación de elementos de procedencia indiscriminada que facilitan el manejo de conceptos, formas y acciones que cargan las obras de heterogeneidades útiles para la producción artística. El objetivo del presente artículo es vincularlo con una performance que aborda de manera crítica los problemas políticos y sociales de América Latina en un modo de investigación útil para la docencia en las artes.
La perspectiva a/r/tográfica y la correspondencia de las artes en programas de mediación socioeducativa
Authors: González-García Ricardo
Published: December 2020

El presente artículo aborda el método de investigación cualitativa que representa la A/R/Tografía como punto de partida que puede conducir al artista-investigador-docente a participar en programas de mediación socioeducativa. Un espacio idóneo para poner en práctica la correspondencia de las artes y descubrir novedosas estrategias pedagógicas que avanzan rizomáticamente al adaptarse a diferentes contextos y cualidades de posibles participantes. En este sentido, y sin animar a la intrusión profesional en materia de mediación socieducativa que se estudia en Grados o Másteres en Educación Social, se exponen aquí las posibilidades de su concepción como posible zona de convergencia abierta a una transversalidad, dinámica y cambiante, que haga hincapié en una conversación interdisciplinar que puede enriquecer las diferentes perspectivas profesionales, resultando muy beneficiosa para el propio diseño de programas o proyectos híbridos y su puesta en práctica.
A TÉCNICA DA “CONSTELAÇÃO FAMILIAR SISTÊMICA” VIABILIZANDO O ACESSO A JUSTIÇA COEXISTENCIAL
Authors: Sousa Jéffson Menezes de , Santos Luane Anise Farias , Sant’Anna Marília Mendonça Morais
Published: December 2020

O presente artigo faz referência à aplicação da técnica da constelação familiar na esfera jurídica pátria como um método sistemático de solução consensual de litígios, tendo como respaldo o que dispõe o artigo 3º, §3º do Código de Processo Civil (CPC), que elenca possibilidades de implantação de técnicas que viabilizem a resolução de crises jurídicas. A referida técnica ultrapassa os limites da lide processual e fomenta uma justiça coexistencial cada vez mais democrática, humana, que se empenha na pacificação dos conflitos e busca soluções benéficas para as partes. Para tal abordagem, se utilizou como técnica de pesquisa a revisão bibliográfica, através da consulta à literatura especializada, identificando conceitos e posicionamentos pertinentes ao tema. Para fins de alcançar um Judiciário verdadeiramente humanizado, é fundamental o empenho pela resolução pacífica de conflitos, em todos os âmbitos do direito, observando os interesses dos indivíduos que integram o litígio processual. Portanto, a técnica da constelação familiar está dentre os métodos de solução alternativa de conflitos, com fundamento no dispositivo processual civil, sendo um auxílio para os procedimentos autocompositivos da conciliação e mediação, contribuindo para a humanização do poder judiciário, onde os operadores do direito não se restrinjam apenas ao viés processualista da lide, mas que busquem a resolução de litígios de forma equilibrada, harmoniosa, preservando o relacionamento entre os envolvidos na demanda processual.

A prisão, não apenas no Brasil, não cumpre suas finalidades declaradas, quais sejam: repressão, prevenção e ressocialização, seja por contradições essenciais, seja por problemas estruturais. A situação é ainda mais grave quando se trata das mulheres presidiárias gestantes ou mães, considerando suas necessidades específicas, verificando-se um descaso estatal, que reverbera nos estudos sobre o tema, centrados, em sua maioria, no sistema penitenciário masculino, tornando as mulheres, principalmente quando na vivência da gestação e da maternidade, invisíveis aos olhos da sociedade. O estudo foi desenvolvido por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica, documental, com base em dados oficiais de órgão responsáveis pelo levantamento populacional carcerário, bem como por meio de pesquisa de campo, oportunidade em que se recolheu narrativas escritas e depoimentos das detentas. Busca-se estudar as condições nas quais as mulheres encarceradas, em fase de gravidez e amamentação, se encontram, no que tange à observância de seus direitos fundamentais. Diante disso, este trabalho propõe algumas ações estatais, capazes de garantir de maneira efetiva a aplicação de tais direitos às mulheres gestantes e mães encarceradas como o reforço da assistência material, intensificação de projetos voltados para a mãe e para a criança, aumento no número de defensores públicos.

Promotion of Mental Health Rehabilitation in China: Community- Based Mental-Health Services
Authors: Zhu Youwei , Li Xu , Zhao Min
Published: December 2020

Community-based mental health services are important for the treatment and recovery of patients with mental health disorders. The Chinese government has made the establishment of a highly eﬃcient community-based health service an enduring priority. Since the 1960s, community-based mental health services have been developed in many Chinese cities and provinces. National policies, including mental health regulations and ﬁve-year national mental health working plans, have been issued to support the development of quality of mental health services. The accessibility and eﬃciency of community-based mental health services are now highly promoted to community residents.
According to the National Standards for Primary Public Health Services, community-based mental health services are one of the most important components of primary public health services. They are mainly provided via Community Health Service Centres (CHCs), by a combination of general practitioners, public health physicians, nurses and social workers. Patients receive individualized and continuous health services according to their rehabilitation status. These services include regular physical examination, health education, rehabilitation guidance, social function rehabilitation training, vocational training and referral services; family members also receive care and psychological support. Future work will focus on expanding mental health service coverage and usage, increasing awareness of mental health and decreasing stigma, and strengthening service capability to establish an integrated model to enhance the overall eﬃciency of mental health services.
Community-Based Mental Health Care in Britain
Authors: Burns Tom
Published: December 2020

Community mental health care in the UK was established by two influential mental health acts (MHAs). The 1930 MHA legislated for voluntary admissions and outpatient clinics. The 1959 MHA required hospitals to provide local follow- up after discharge, required them to work closely with local social services and obliged social services to help with accommodation and support. An effect of this was to establish highly sectorized services for populations of about 50,000. These were served by multidisciplinary teams (generic CMHTs), which accepted all local referrals from family doctors. Sector CMHTs evolved a pragmatic approach with an emphasis on skill-sharing and outreach, depending heavily on community psychiatric nurses. The NHS is funded by central taxation, with no distortion of clinical practice by per-item service fees. It is highly centrally regulated, with a strong emphasis on evidence-based treatments.

Since 2000, generic sector teams have gradually been replaced or enhanced by Crisis Resolution Home Treatment teams, Assertive Outreach Teams and Early Intervention Teams. Assertive Outreach Teams were resorbed into CMHTs, based on outcome evidence. The last decade has seen a major expansion in outpatient psychotherapy (Improving Access to Psychological Treatments (IAPT) services) and in specialist teams for personality disorders and perinatal psychiatry. The traditional continuity of care across the inpatient-outpatient divide has recently been broken. During the last decade of austerity, day care services have been decimated, and (along with the reduction in availability of beds) compulsory admission rates have risen sharply. Mental health care is still disadvantaged, receiving 11% of the NHS spend while accounting for 23% of the burden of disease.
Diagnosis and Treatment of Depression in Patients with Schizophrenia
Authors: Mosolov Sergey N.
Published: December 2020

Depression is the third most common illness among patients with schizophrenia which negatively affects the course of the disease and significantly contributes to the mortality rate, due to increased suicide. Depression, along with negative symptoms and cognitive deficits, is one of the main factors that significantly decreases the quality of life and the disease prognosis in patients with schizophrenia. In addition, depression increases the frequency of exacerbations and readmissions, decreases the quality and duration of remissions and is associated with more frequent substance abuse and an increased economic burden. Data on the prevalence of depression among patients with schizophrenia are contradictory and are associated with a low detection rate of depression in such patients, a lack of clear diagnostic criteria and difficulties in differentiation between extrapyramidal and negative symptoms. The average prevalence of depression that meets the diagnostic criteria of major depressive episodes in patients with schizophrenia is 25% at a specific point, and 60% over the course of a lifetime; the frequency of subsyndromal depression is much higher. It is essential to distinguish between primary (axial syndrome) and secondary depressive symptoms (extrapyramidal symptoms, psychogenic or nosogenic reactions, social factors, etc.) to determine treatment strategies. The published data relating to randomized clinical trials for the development of evidence-based guidelines are limited. Current recommendations are based mainly on the results of small-scale trials and reviews. Certain atypical antipsychotics (quetiapine, lurasidone, amisulpride, aripiprazole, olanzapine, clozapine) are superior to typical antipsychotics in the reduction of depressive symptoms. Clozapine is effective in the management of patients at risk from suicide. The additional prescription of antidepressants, transcranial magnetic stimulation and electroconvulsive therapy are not always effective and are only possible following the management of acute psychosis in cases when antipsychotic monotherapy proved to be ineffective.
FAIRY TALE AND FANTASY AS LITERARY PHENOMENA: COMPARATIVE ASPECT
Authors: Manakhov O.
Published: December 2020

This article attempts to compare the synthetic genres of literature: fairy tales and fantasy. Their common and distinctive features are determined regarding chronotope, specific of the irreal world, character’s challenges, moral basis, which embraces all plot components of these artistic structures. The factor (genre generating) of fairy tale is a conflict, which is based on opposition of characters (one of them necessarily wins) and for a fantasy in addition to conflict of worlds or antagonistic forces is required a quest. Conflict must be resolved during this quest. A clear demonstration of such features will accurately determine the genre of different texts. At the same time, the boundaries of the genre can be indistinct, because the characteristics of the fairy tale exist in any text about the irreal, including fantasy.

Authors: Bhatikar Ketan Kirtikumar
Published: December 2020

Background: Heel pain is a highly prevalent problem in most developing and under-developing countries. There are many studies done that show beneficial effects by different manual and physical modalities and therapies yet there is more of research to be done on new modalities and therapies that are drug-free rapid in its effect. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the effect of matrix rhythm therapy with strengthening exercises v/s interferential current therapy (ICT) with laser therapy and strengthening exercise. Methods: 30 participants with the age group 30 to 50 years old, experienced heel pain at least of one-month duration were randomly assigned to receive matrix rhythm therapy v/s ICT and LASER therapy. Strengthening exercises for plantar fascia were the same for both the groups. Intervention for both the groups was given alternatively for 15 sessions at the center by a certified therapist. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for the early morning first step pain and stiffness and Planter Fasciitis Pain/Disability Scale and revised Foot Function Index (FFI). Results: The pain subscale scores of the FFI showed significantly better results for the patients managed with the matrix rhythm therapy. Analysis of the response rates to the outcome measures also revealed significant differences with respect to pain, activity limitations, and patient satisfaction, with greater improvement seen in the group managed with the matrix rhythm therapy strengthening exercise. Conclusion: In the present study both the therapies showed the beneficial effects. However, matrix rhythm therapy was more significant than IFT and Laser therapy.

Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is a systemic small vessel vasculitis occurring commonly in children presenting with palpable non-thrombocytopenic purpura, arthralgia and abdominal pain. Haemorrhagic bullous and ulcerative lesions are rare in HSP in children and can be a diagnostic challenge. We present a case of 6-year-old boy child who presented with bullous purpuric lesions in lower limbs, arthralgia and increased serum IgA. Histopathology of skin lesion revealed leukocytoclastic vasculitis. However, the direct immunofluorescence was negative for IgA deposits.

BACKGROUND Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) have evolved into a pandemic world-wide including India because of burgeoning population and adoption of unhealthy lifestyles often aping the west. Early identification of increasing trends in the rise of risk factors (RFs) of NCDs in all populations is of utmost importance. The present study aims to track the trends of certain RFs of NCDs in medical students. METHODS All the 141 students who had completed 3 years of medical college were included. 8 of them who were absent during study period were excluded. Base line data concerning the medical students was taken in the month of December 2016. Their anthropometric measurements like height, weight, waist circumference, waist-hipratio, and blood pressure were noted as per standard guidelines. The changes in the trends of hypertension, general obesity, and central obesity were analysed. RESULTS Out of the total 141 study subjects 93 (66 %) were female 48 (34 %) were male medical students. The mean age of students was 20.94 years with SD of 0.80. 64 (45.4 %), 62 (44 %) and 13 (9.2 %) students were aware of positive family history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus and obesity respectively. None of them were in the habit of smoking, drinking alcohol or tried narcotics. Undernourished students reduced from 28 (19.9 %) to 16 (11.3 %). Physical exercise among students increased significantly. General obesity (BMI ≥ 25 Kg / mt2 ), central / abdominal obesity represented by waist circumstance and blood pressure were observed to have increased significantly. The combined obesity in the present study was 15.6 %. CONCLUSIONS Tracking of weight gain, blood pressure, physical activity in medical students was done after three years from the base line data collected in 2016. It was observed that certain risk factors of NCDs like obesity, hypertension, waist circumference, showed significant upward trends. Medical students should undergo periodic health check–ups (screening) to identify the emergence of RFs of NCDs in their nascent stage and transform themselves as role models in the community by maintaining and advocating healthy lifestyles.

BACKGROUND Diagnosis of acute appendicitis is always a challenging task in emergency ward which can most of the time be diagnosed with thorough history and physical examination by surgeon, various clinical signs and laboratory investigations like total leukocyte count (TLC), neutrophils shift to left. Unnecessary surgical interventions of appendix can be reduced by precise diagnosis of levels of TLC and total serum bilirubin values. We wanted to evaluate the sensitivity of laboratory marker like TLC and liver function tests in diagnosing a case of appendicitis and complicated appendicitis. METHODS 100 patients who were admitted in the Department of General Surgery, Maharaja Agrasen Medical Collage, Agroha (Hisar), with clinical diagnosis of acute appendicitis were included in the study. Data was statistically analysed and sensitivity of TLC and liver function test in diagnosing acute appendicitis was compared. RESULTS Sensitivity of TLC was found to be 47 %; that of total serum bilirubin was 72 % which is significant; that of SGOT was 26 %; that of SGPT was 21 % and that of ALP was 8 % in diagnosing acute appendicitis. While comparing sensitivity of this marker to diagnose complicated appendicitis (gangrenous and perforated appendix) it was 56.3 % for TLC, 100 % for total serum bilirubin, 31.3 % for SGOT, 37.5 % for SGPT and 12.5 % for ALP. CONCLUSIONS Raised total serum bilirubin has potential to detect complications of appendicitis and the need for early intervention by surgeon.

Background: In Thailand, pharmacists are responsible for all activities to ensure access to medicines throughout pharmaceutical supply chain. Competency framework (CF) is an important guidance for professional development and workforce planning.

Objective: This study aimed to explore needs for pharmacy services in pharmaceutical supply chain and competencies of pharmacists to serve those needs. It was the first step for developing evidence-based pharmacy CF within the context of Thailand in 2026.

Methods: A qualitative method using in-depth interviews to gain rich data from practitioners and leaders in all area of practices. 99 key informants from 56 workplaces in Thailand were interviewed during January and March 2016. Data was transcribed verbatim, and thematic analysis was used. Competencies were extracted, followed by several rounds of group discussion among team members to develop an initial framework. The competencies and CF were presented, and recommendations were gained from professional leaders for refining the findings.

Results: The key informants agreed that pharmacist’s works and responsibilities have gradually been drifted to support changes in healthcare and pharmaceutical systems. The upcoming pharmaceutical services call for higher standards of practice, larger number of personnel, and skillful pharmacists who have strong foundation in pharmaceutical knowledge as well as an ability to integrate knowledge into practices. Two sets of CFs were established. The general CF comprises five core domains: product focus, patient focus, healthcare system focus, community focus, and personal focus for self-improvement. These general competencies allow practitioners to perform basic professional tasks, including providing information, dispensing, and compounding. The service-specific competency is the integration of general competencies tailored into specific area of practice.

Conclusions: Regarding the professional goal to evolve pharmacists from generalists to specialists for providing higher quality of professional services, the pharmacists are required to demonstrate general competencies and service-specific competencies. The findings serve as the need-based evidence for developing a national CF for pharmacists in Thailand.
