ATTITUDES TOWARD MENTAL HEALTH AND PSYCHOTHERAPY IN A COLLECTIVISTIC MUSLIM CULTURE: VARIATIONS BY GENDER, AGE, EDUCATION, MARRIAGE, PROFESSION, AND INCOME
Authors: Husain Waqar , Riasat Ammarah
Published: September 2022

Abstract: In some cultures, psychological problems and treatment are mostly not considered as important as medical illnesses. This is generally because of people's attitudes toward mental disorders and psychotherapeutic interventions. The current study involved 2702 Muslims from Pakistan. The study measured attitudes towards mental health through different dimensions. These mainly included attitudes toward mental health, attitudes towards mental disorders, attitudes towards medical illnesses, attitudes towards mentally disturbed, attitudes towards seeking psychological help for self, attitudes towards seeking psychological help for families, attitudes towards seeking psychological help for children, and attitudes towards seeking psychological help for friends. The understudied population had positive attitudes toward mental health and psychotherapy. A significant difference was found between people's attitudes towards medical illnesses and mental disorders. Attitudes based on gender, age, education, marriage, profession, and income were also significantly different. The findings of this study lead mental health practitioners and policymakers to modify their strategies for encouraging more clientele to the existing mental health facilities.

Introduction: Sever's disease or calcaneal osteochondrosis of the posterior apophysis affects adolescent athletes between 8 and 15 years of age, boys are more affected in about 60% of cases and the involvement is uni or bilateral, described in 1912 by the surgeon James Warren Sever. Objective: To present the first case of Sever's disease in Mandiana, supported by a review of the literature. Clinical Case: This was an 11-year-old adolescent, living in Mandiana, a soccer player (right lateral), playing with his right foot, who consulted for a right posteroinferior talalgia, progressive, of mechanical appearance, triggered by walking and physical activity, calmed by rest or by taking non- steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID). No notion of taking fluoroquinolone-based medication, no signs suggestive of an infectious focus, particularly auto-rhino-laryngology (ENT) and dental, or tumors. The painful swelling (VAS 9/10) on palpation of the medial and lateral heel cup with degree 2 flat foot, the densification and fragmentation of the posterior calcaneal process on the right foot profile radiograph allowed the diagnosis of Sever's disease. The treatment was based on oral ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day for three weeks, diclofenac gel to rub the ankle, and the cessation of physical and sports activity for three months which gave a favorable outcome by the regression of pain (VAS at 1/10) and the normal resumption of walking. Conclusion: Sever's disease is a common condition in growing children, its diagnosis is clinical, radiology is used for differential diagnosis, and rest is essential in its management.
Child Marriage in Tarai Region of Nepal
Authors: Yadav Leelawati
Published: September 2022

This article is on the causes and consequences of child marriage in Dhanushadham Municipality of Dhanusha District that is in provision-2, Tarai Region of Nepal. Child marriage is not a new phenomenon in Nepal. The problem of child marrige was seen in Tarai region of Nepal, especially it was seen in rural area among lower caste people like; Dalits(Mushahar, Chamar & Dom) and also in some higher caste like;Yadav, Sah and Brhaman. My argument in this article is; Child marriage is socially constructed , although the scenary has some changed that youths have been found responsible for doing early marriage for the self sufficient of sexual relation. This study relies on qualitative disscussion and researcher applied purposive sampling method for collecting details information on both primary as well secondary data. Findings of the study show that marriage is not a biological event like birth or death; rather it is a social event that is determined by the society. One of the major factors for child marriage is dowry practice in Tarai that badly affected life of girls and women violence has increased due to early marriage and dowry practice. It highly shows that less dowry demand in child marriage and it incase of higher education demand high dowry. Furthermore, the study requires further study in whole province-2 and awareness among people. It highly demands to give quality and higher education for both son & daughter for ending child marriage and dowry practices. Government need to effective monitoring and strong rules and policies to decrease women violence in Tarai.

Published: September 2022

Introduction: Preterm labor is one of the clinical events that can change a normal pregnancy into a high-risk one for both the mother and the fetus. Preterm labors are thought to be caused by a combination of factors, including decidual bleeding and uterine deformation. Aim of the Study: The aim of the study was to observe the maternal complications of preterm birth. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Chittagong Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh. The study duration was 6 months, from January to June of 2015. Purposive sampling method was used to select a total of 100 women from those admitted at the study hospital for deliveries according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Result: Most of the patients were from the third decade of life. Majority (61.0%) patients had multi para. Majority (39.0%) patients were gestational age 34 weeks. More than half (53.0%) had infection, among which urinary tract infection were the most common. Neonatal death was 61%, and most common cause of neonatal death was septicemia, followed by respiratory distress syndrome. Conclusion: Most of the patients were in 3rd decade of life, and did not receive regular antenatal check-up. Infection and pre-eclampsia were the most common maternal complications, while respiratory distress syndrome was the most common perinatal morbidity. Septicemia and respiratory distress syndrome were the most common cause of perinatal death.

Published: September 2022

In a context of economic fragility and political crisis from 2002 to 2010, Côte d'Ivoire in general and the Autonomous District of Abidjan in particular constitute a booming market for private security. The objective of this study is to analyse the socio-political logic of the development of private security companies in the Autonomous District of Abidjan. The study uses a dual methodological approach (qualitative and quantitative) with appropriate survey tools, namely a documentary review and semi-directed interviews with a category of actors. This enabled us to arrive at the following results: On the one hand, the activities of security companies and their active roles contribute to the maintenance of social and political order. On the other hand, private security organisations fulfil dual functions. That is, a function of social security partners and a function of social security capital of political actors in the reproduction and maintenance of political power.

Then it was added with the conversion of the banks of the Cisadane River into culinary stalls for UMKM residents of Kampung Bekelir. The residents of Bekelir feel an increase in the economy from the existence of this Firm Village, because residents can sell the products they make and culinary delights for tourists to earn additional income. At first, these UMKM became a source of additional income, now they are the main source of income for the residents of Bekelir.
Keterbukaan Diri Remaja Akhir dalam Komunikasi Keluarga Strict Parents di Bandung
Authors: Juliawati Jessica , Destiwati Rita
Published: September 2022

Remaja yang berusia 18-21 tahun atau disebut sebagai remaja akhir merupakan usia dimana seorang anak sudah dianggap matang, mampu menentukan perilaku serta tanggungjawab yang besar. Namun berbeda dengan remaja akhir dalam keluarga yang menerapkan pola asuh strict parents, yaitu pola asuh dengan peraturan yang ketat dan cenderung terlalu membatasi ruang gerak anak mereka. Seringkali membuat anak mereka cenderung tidak memiliki keinginan untuk membuka diri kepada orangtuanya. Penelitian ini berfokus pada keterbukaan diri remaja akhir dalam komunikasi keluarga di Bandung, dengan menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif deskriptif. Teknik pengumpulan data yang dilakukan pada penelitian ini adalah wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi kepada tujuh informan, yakni empat informan utama, satu informan kunci, dan dua informan pendukung. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pola asuh strict parents justru membuat remaja akhir semakin tidak ingin untuk membuka diri kepada mereka. Hal tersebut dapat terlihat dari jarangnya remaja akhir untuk berkomunikasi dengan orangtua, topik yang diangkat hanya sebatas pembicaraan seputar pendidikan atau pekerjaan, tidak ada keinginan untuk membahas topik secara mendalam atau detail maupun akurat, dan remaja akhir merasa lebih nyaman terbuka dengan teman sebaya atau saudara lainnya dibandingkan orangtua mereka. Melalui penelitian ini diharapkan dapat bermanfaat untuk keterbukaan diri remaja akhir dalam keluarga yang menerapkan pola asuh strict parents.

Authors: Metin Salih , Eraybar Suna , Aygün Hüseyin , Demir Canan
Published: September 2022

Objective: This study aims to investigate the effect of biomarkers such as CRP, ferritin, troponin, lymphopenia, and D-dimer in predicting disease severity and clinical outcome. Identifying an effective and predictive biomarker will help to evaluate patients' risk and improve overall clinical management of patients with COVID-19
Material and Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, 1458 patients who were taken to intensive care follow-up due to COVID-19 across the province of Bursa were evaluated. Age, gender, and laboratory data such as ferritin, D-dimer, White Blood Cell (WBC), C-reactive protein, troponin values, chronic diseases, length of stay in the intensive care unit, and mortality were recorded. The relation of these variables with mortality was analyzed.
Results: There was no significant difference between the groups regarding age and length of stay in the intensive care unit (p=379, p=0.094). There was a statistically significant difference between the groups for ferritin, CRP, D-dimer, troponin, and WBC variables (p<0.001). In the ROC analysis, it was seen that the sensitivity value for ferritin was 86.08%, the specificity value was 85.23%, and the AUC: 0.902 had a high level of diagnostic value.
Conclusion: An increase in acute phase reactants was associated with mortality in patients followed up for COVID-19. This may be related to the increased cytokine response triggered by the disease.

Published: September 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has spread across the globe, hitting almost every country. To stop the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, this article introduces face mask detection on a gate to assure the safety of Instructors and students in both class and public places. This work aims to distinguish between faces with masks and without masks. A deep learning algorithm You Only Look Once (YOLO) V5 is used for face mask detection and classification. This algorithm detects the faces with and without masks using the video frames from the surveillance camera. The model trained on over 800 video frames. The sequence of a video frame for face mask detection is fed to the model for feature acquisition. Then the model classifies the frames as faces with a mask and without a mask. We used loss functions like Generalize Intersection of Union for abjectness and classification accuracy. The datasets used to train the model are divided as 80% and 20% for training and testing, respectively. The model has provided a promising result. The result found shows accuracy and precision of 95% and 96%, respectively. Results show that the model performance is a good classifier. The successful findings indicate the suggested work's soundness.

Undang-Undang Nomor 16 Tahun 2011 tentang Bantuan Hukum dipergunakan sebagai suatu sarana mencapai kemudahan dan perlakuan khusus sebagai tindakan  afirmatif (tindakan yang dilakukan langsung oleh pemerintah) untuk menciptakan persamaan dan keadilan setiap warga negara yang kurang mampu di Republik Indonesia. Upaya tersebut tidak terlepas dari ketentuan Undang-Undang Dasar Negara Republik Indonesia Tahun 1945 Pasal 28I ayat (4) dan ayat (5) di mana di dalam pemenuhan hak asasi manusia khususnya terhadap bantuan hukum bagi rakyat miskin merupakan tanggung jawab negara (state responsibility). Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan yuridis normatif, digunakan untuk meneliti atau menganalisis dan menjelaskan teori-teori dan asas-asas norma hukum yang mengulas mengenai peraturan yang berlaku tentang Bantuan Hukum secara umum serta secara khusus adalah Pengaturan Verifikasi dan Akreditasi Terhadap Pemberi Bantuan Hukum serta Ketentuan Pidana Berdasarkan Undang-Undang Nomor 16 Tahun 2011 tentang Bantuan Hukum. Pendekatan normatif dalam penelitian, digunakan untuk menjelaskan lebih lanjut mengenai mekanisme verifikasi dan akreditasi serta ketentuan pidana dan peranan pemerintah dalam melaksanakan Bantuan Hukum telah sesuai dengan implementasi dan implikasi yang ditemukan pada lokasi penelitian. Tata Cara Verifikasi dan Akreditasi Lembaga Bantuan Hukum dan Organisasi Kemasyarakatan tersebut di atas, yang terkadang dirasakan terlalu sulit untuk dipenuhi oleh Organisasi Bantuan Hukum, untuk bisa melaksanakan tahapan verifikasi dan akreditasi. Sehingga hal ini akan berdampak pada kepastian hukum terhadap pemberian bantuan hukum bagi Organisasi Bantuan Hukum yang masih melaksanakan proses verifikasi dan akreditasi organisasinya. Permasalahan lainnya adalah waktu penyelenggaraan verifikasi dan akreditasi itu sendiri yang terlalu lama.

For the rivers of the Kama basin, two methods have been developed for daily short-term forecasting of average daily water discharges with a lead time of 1, 2, and 3 days. The first technique uses the HBV-96 river runoff formation conceptual model and the subsequent correction of forecasts outputs. The second technique is based on the hydrograph extrapolation method and is limited to the data of hydrological observations available by the date of the forecast. For the first technique, the expected values of the COSMO-Ru meteorological model temperature and precipitation forecasts are used for the lead-time period of the hydrological forecast. The influence of meteorological forecast errors on the accuracy of river streamflow forecasts was analyzed. The results of the verification based on an independent sample showed that, in general, both methods give a satisfactory forecast quality. The technique that uses the runoff formation model and meteorological information is slightly more accurate than the hydrograph extrapolation method, and its advantage increases with increasing forecast lead time.

Modelling upper-layer soil available water capacity by neural ordinary differential equations
Authors:   1MIREA – Russian Technological University, Moscow, Russia, Golov V.A. , Bykov .Ph.L. ,   Hydrometeorological Research Center of Russian Federation, Moscow, Russia
Published: September 2022

The studies on applying the neural ordinary differential equations (ODE) to the problem of modeling soil available water capacity were performed. The modification of the neural ODE for the problem with additional external meteorological (precipitation, wind speed, air temperature, and dew point) and categorical (crop type, soil type, and prevalent land cover type) parameters was proposed. The experiments led to the conclusion that the models based on the neural ODE are promising for modeling such complex unclosed systems as water exchange in the upper 0-10 and 0-20 cm soil layers. The considered nonlinear models perform much better than linear ones: the mean absolute error (MAE) of the 10-day available water capacity forecast is equal to 3.20 and 5.53 mm in the 0-10 and 0-20 cm soil layers, respectively. The proposed approach is promising for modeling processes in the soil and making management decisions in the agro-industrial complex.

An improved technology for calculating the forecast of the meteorological indicator of pollution dispersion (MIPD) is described. The changes in the algorithm for calculating the MIPD, adopted on the basis of the results of verification of the algorithm using data on the concentrations of pollutants, are shown. Taking into account the model forecasts of wind speed and temperature obtained in assessing the quality, methods for their correction at the preprocessing stage have been developed and presented in the APS, the procedure for spatial averaging of the parameters included in the calculation of the MIPD has been optimized. The improvement in technology has reduced the number of false forecasts of MIPD in the range of meteorological conditions that contribute to the accumulation of pollution in surface air.

The generalized Pareto distribution was used to model the distribution of precipitation area sizes that were observed and predicted for the coverage zones of individual radars by the Hydrometeorological Research Center of the Russian Federation's nowcasting scheme in 2017-2018. Various methods for estimating the distribution parameters and confidence intervals were tested. The main attention was paid to the estimates of the shape parameter that determines the behavior of the distribution tail. The generalized assessment of the nowcasting quality is built on the intersection ratio of the corresponding confidence intervals. It is shown that for most cases the Pareto threshold of 625 points, which is equivalent to a square of 5050 km, separates objects of larger sizes that are satisfactorily modeled by the heavy-tailed distribution and which are quite acceptably (on "climatological" average) predicted by the precipitation nowcasting system for specific periods of the year.

UNIVERSAL ATTRACTOR FOR A NONLOCAL REACTION-DIFFUSION PROBLEM WITH DYNAMICAL BOUNDARY CONDITIONS
Authors: Boussaïd Samira
Published: September 2022

A nonlocal reaction-diffusion equation is presented in this article, based on a model proposed by J. Rubinstein and P. Sternberg [6] with a nonlinear strictly monotone operator. A dynamical boundary condition is considered, rather then the usual ones such as Neumann or Dirichlet boundary conditions. The well-posedness and the existence of a universal attractor of this problem, which describes the long time behavior of the solution, are established.

Turkish Japanese learners’ L3 Japanese oral proficiency
Authors: Li Wenchao
Published: September 2022

This study applies mathematic linguistics to explore Turkish Japanese learners’ oral proficiency. Data were drawn from a self-built annotated corpus of 300 hours of recordings of storytelling (individual) and interaction (group). The oral proficiency for lexical sophistication is measured utilising moving-average morphological richness (MAMR) and mean size of paradigm. The syntactic complexity is measured by mean dependency distance (MDD). Self-written computer programme scripts are used to compute the MAMR, moving-average mean size of paradigm (MAMSP), and MDD. The findings indicate that in both storytelling and interaction, Turkish Japanese learners present a close picture regarding the degree of freedom of MAMR, MAMSP, and MDD to the oral data of native Japanese. This study, therefore, contends that L1 mother tongue morpho-syntactically affects later language acquisition. Moreover, the dependency distance (DD) that attributes the most tokens in interaction is nearly half that of the DD in storytelling, confirming the Principle of Least Effort (Zipf 1949) that human action tends to lighten the processing load. Furthermore, the MDD-frequency relationship in the Turkish oral data demonstrates a good fitting result for three models, that is, Harris, Dacey, and Kelly.

The study evaluated the strategies adopted by CSSC project in ensuring violence free learning environment and prevention of child abuse in targeted primary schools in Kibaha District. The study was a summative evaluation which was guided by Context, Input, Process and Product model (CIPP) developed by Daniel Stufflebeam in 1971. Convergent design under mixed research was adopted whereby qualitative and quantitative data were collected at the same time and analyzed separately. The targeted population for the study included 4 schools, 4 heads teachers,72 teachers,783 students, a project manager and 48 school committee members hence the total of 908 participants. Probability and non-probability sampling were used in selecting respondents. The instruments for data collection were questionnaire, interview guide, focus group discussion and document analysis guide. The reliability of quantitative instruments was established through Cronbach Alpha; (r = 0.608 for teachers’ questionnaire and r = 0.653 for students’ questionnaire) while the reliability for the qualitative data was established through triangulation of data. Quantitative data was coded and analyzed using percentages and frequencies through statistical Package of Social Science Version 26 and presented in tables. Qualitative data was analyzed by coding contents into themes and presented in narrative form and direct quotations from respondents. Findings shows the positive response from teachers, head teachers, students and community members that project employed training, group discussions, presentation and initiation of child protection clubs in targeted primary schools. However, the findings show that the strategies employed did not managed to cover large number of teachers, students and community members in project activities conducted. The study concluded that strategies employed by CSSC child protection project in ensuring violence free learning environment in targeted primary schools were training, group discussions, presentation and formation of child protection clubs which were not able to ensure that a large number of teachers, students and community members to were involved. Study recommended that project owner should train more teachers, students, and community members to ensure adequate number of teachers, students and community members are involved in project activities.

OBJECTIVES
This study aimed to explore the contributing factors which inhibit the role of nurses in the activation of a rapid response team system in a tertiary care hospital.
METHODOLOGY
A qualitative exploratory study was carried out using focused group discussion in a private tertiary care hospital. The nurse’s viewpoint was determined regarding the increased frequency of Cardiopulmonary Arrests in 2018 as compared to 2017 in the hospital setting. Data were thematically analyzed.
RESULTS
Nurses described rapid response teams as “the team comprising of different healthcare professionals equipped with lifesaving resources to patients who need immediate medical care to prevent health deteriorations or the need of intensive care. There is a “Red Flags” criteria established in the hospital setting to activate the RRT system resulting in the quick arrival of a skilled ICU team with needed resources.
CONCLUSION
Many factors hinder the activation of the Rapid Response Team such as Knowledge about the Rapid Response team, role and responsibility confusion about RRT activation, peer pressure, lack of management support.
