Institusi kekeluargaan ialah persekitaran utama yang mencorakkan kehidupan seseorang remaja. Tanpa pemantauan dan didikan yang betul daripada ibu bapa dan keluarga, remaja terdedah kepada perbuatan yang boleh meruntuhkan sahsiah, seperti terlibat dalam aktiviti perzinaan. Oleh sebab itu, kajian ini dilakukan untuk memerihalkan faktor keluarga yang menyumbang kepada perzinaan remaja Muslim di Malaysia. Dengan menggunakan kaedah kualitatif, responden kajian yang terdiri daripada 12 peserta kajian telah ditemu bual. Penyelidik telah menggunakan kaedah temu bual separa berstruktur yang melibatkan fleksibiliti temu bual dengan soalan terbuka. Data yang diperoleh daripada hasil temu bual kemudiannya dianalisis untuk mendapatkan hasil kajian. Hasil penyelidikan ini mendapati bahawa terdapat beberapa faktor keluarga yang menyumbang kepada perzinaan remaja. Faktor ini ialah perceraian ibu bapa, kegagalan komunikasi antara ibu bapa dengan anak, pengongkongan yang keterlaluan, ketiadaan didikan agama, keluarga yang berzina, pengambilan dadah dan yang paling serius ialah pengeksploitasian remaja untuk pelacuran oleh keluarga sendiri. Dapatan ini juga menunjukkan bahawa asas pembentukan institusi kekeluargaan Islam di negara ini perlu diteliti semula dan dipantau dengan sebaik-baiknya agar mampu menyediakan persekitaran yang selamat kepada remaja, seterusnya menghindari perlakuan zina.

Authors: Yong Tang  , Hao Zhang  , Li Zhang  , Xin Feng Yu  , Yun Feng Bai
Published: January 2023

This paper studies the relationship between transmission intensity and strain based on tapered long-period fiber grating at a fixed wavelength. In experiments, tapered long-period fiber grating was prepared by the electric melting method. Experimental results show that two resonance peaks appeared at 1482 and 1537 nm, respectively. Here is the elaboration of the relationship between the resonant wavelength and the strain, its wavelength-strain sensitivity is 20 pm/με, and the linearity was negative. Then our next study was about the relationship between transmission intensity and strain at a fixed wavelength. The results show that the transmission intensity at a fixed wavelength is related to the exponent with strain. The coupled-mode theory is applied to simulate the relationship between fixed wavelength and strain. The simulation results matched the experimental results. Two fixed wavelength transmission intensity ratio was used, and the ratio showed a linear relationship with the strain, and the slope is –0.018 dB/με. Therefore, within the 0.01% resolution of our detector, we could resolve a 0.16 με strain change. We can select the appropriate light source and detector to achieve higher measurement accuracy. Thus, there is a great potential in fiber grating strain sensors.

Published: January 2023

This study looks at the impact of climate change on subsistence farming. Farmers in the rural areas of Sierra Leone mostly practice subsistence agriculture. A lot of predictions have been done by the scientific community through climatic and crop modeling techniques concerning the impact of climate change on agriculture as well as all other spheres of life. This research aims to explore the knowledge and perceptions of subsistence farmers regarding the impacts of climate change on their farming activities and well-being. This study will broaden the research on subsistence farmers' perceptions of climate change. This study employed a mixed study design (quantitative and qualitative methods). Samples of 77 respondents were selected from a sample frame of 220 heads of households in the area listed for the study. A simple random sampling technique was used. It was revealed in the study that most of the farmers (67.5%) were illiterate and, hence, lacked knowledge of the concept of climate change; some farmers (27.3%) exhibited competencies to sense some of the changes that have occurred in the climatic pattern. The majority of the respondents (49.4%) agreed that the farming calendar for rice as a major crop has changed. This, according to the respondents, was responsible for the low productivity of rice in the study area. There is an urgent need to provide education related to agriculture to empower farmers with the methods and techniques involved in climate-smart agriculture and to sensitize them to the impacts of climate change in extremely rural areas.

Published: January 2023

Background: Endometriosis is a disease characterized by the presence of tissue resembling the endometrium (uterine lining) outside the uterus. This causes a chronic inflammatory reaction that can result in the formation of scar tissue in the pelvis and other parts of the body. Pain is the most common clinical complaint in cases of endometriosis. Pain during menstruation is often confused with pain due to endometriosis, so treatment delays often occur. This study aimed to determine the relationship between menstrual patterns and pain in endometriosis patients at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital, Palembang, Indonesia.

Methods: This was cross-sectional analytic observational study. A total of 55 research subjects participated in this study. Data analysis was carried out with the help of SPSS version 25 software in univariate and bivariate.

Results: Menstrual cycle, duration, color, and volume of menstrual blood are not related to pain intensity in endometriosis patients.

Conclusion: There is no relationship between menstrual patterns and pain in endometriosis patients at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital, Palembang, Indonesia.

Authors: Rezah Farah Syah , Sapada Andi Tenri
Published: January 2023

This study aims to examine and analyze the independence and accountability of the Constitutional Court in the constitutional system in Indonesia. This study uses a normative juridical method with a statute approach. The collection of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials is carried out using literature study techniques. The collected legal material is analyzed using qualitative data analysis methods to describe the problem and answer study purposes. The results show that the Constitutional Court acts as the interpreter and guardian of the constitution. In addition, the Constitutional Court also acts as a guardian of human rights, citizens’ constitutional rights, and democracy. Furthermore, independence and accountability in a judicial process are like two sides of a coin. These cannot be separated because the two principles complement each other. Although the Constitutional Court has implemented duties and functions based on the principle of accountability. However, the independence of the Constitutional Court as the executor of Judicial Power has finally been lost. The Constitutional Court is now a judicial institution whose position is limited to sub-ordination from the other spheres of State Power which proposes Judges to fill in the Constitutional Court. Therefore, it is recommended that Constitutional Judges maintain their independence even though their positions result from proposals by other spheres of State Power. It is also recommended that the President and the House of Representatives uphold the mechanism of checks and balances between spheres of state power based on democratic principles. In this case, to realize the ideals of a law-based and democratic-based state for the sake of a more recognized national and state life.

O consumo de carnes é amplamente apreciado devido a qualidades organolépticas e nutricionais, em especial a carne de peixe ganha grande destaque por ser uma carne com elevada quantidade e qualidade de proteínas, baixos níveis de colesterol e fonte de ácidos graxos. A frequência de sua ingestão e o conhecimento referente à importância de sua inclusão na dieta foram avaliados em universitários do município de Lavras. Onde a carne de peixe é consumida por estudantes entre 21-30 anos, com nível de escolaridade superior incompleto e renda mensal de 1-2 salários mínimos, em uma frequência abaixo do recomendado para este consumo. O sabor é o principal motivo para escolha, adquirida em supermercados, escolhida de acordo com a espécie, com ampla preferência pelo peixe fresco, e consumida a domicílio de modo frito. Grande parte acredita que o consumo de carne possa interferir na saúde. A presença de ácidos graxos essenciais foi o principal benefício para a saúde citado diante do consumo da carne de peixe. Ainda, o consumo de carne bovina foi significativamente associado ao fator idade, onde 93,3% dos indivíduos até 20 anos declararam consumo frequente. Não houve diferença significativa (p>0,05) entre o tipo de carne consumido, variáveis socioeconômicas, visão do consumidor relacionada à saúde e benefícios associados aos diferentes tipos de carne.

The study of the diet quality should include not just the nutritional adequacy but also incorporate the multidimensional understanding and the current dietary recommendations. This study aimed to evaluate the relevance, clarity, and comprehensibility of the Scale of Quality of Diet (ESQUADA). Nutritionists’ perspectives about the relevance and clarity of the items were evaluated through focus groups between November and December 2016. An exploratory content analysis investigated the themes that emerged from the focus groups, which were organized in a structured codebook. Two reviewers applied it to the data. Inter-rater reliability was analyzed by the kappa coefficient. The coding was analyzed using the frequencies and central aspects of the sub-themes. Laypersons’ comprehension of the items was evaluated using a question regarding whether they understood each item in online questionnaire in February 2018. Descriptive statistics investigated the comprehensibility of each item. The reviewers presented adequate reliability on coding the data. Three themes emerged from the data considering the nutritionists’ suggestions. The theme Item relevance indicated that the items assessed diet quality while considering sociocultural influences. However, the nutritionists suggested attention was needed to how some items were expressed and their response options. Of relevance, the themes Item clarity and Clarity of alternatives primarily encompassed discussions regarding item text (44%) and discrimination of alternatives (24%). The study of the comprehensibility indicated that all items were readily understood. These results support the relevance of the ESQUADA for evaluating quality of diet as well the comprehensibility of all the items by individuals uneducated in public health.

Authors: Palomino Quispe Juan Marcos , Lovón-Cueva Marco
Published: January 2023

Esta investigación describe las representaciones en torno a los migrantes venezolanos en los diarios peruanos de difusión masiva, específicamente en diarios como El Comercio, Trome y Exitosa. El objetivo principal es analizar las representaciones que se construyen sobre la vida de los migrantes venezolanos en el Perú mediante los titulares de estos periódicos. El corpus con el cual se trabajó fueron titulares de diarios en su versión digital. Se realiza un análisis textual y se identifican los modos de representación de actores sociales excluidos e incluidos según las categorías de Van Leeuwen (1996). El artículo concluye que se minimiza la participación de un actor social en noticias controversiales o en la asignación de responsabilidades y se incluye a los migrantes venezolanos en noticias de contextos favorables o en la narración de hechos significativos, por lo que su representación es positiva. Sin embargo, la prensa digital no deja de hacer representaciones negativas sobre los migrantes, cuando los califica de “delincuentes”.

Published: January 2023

Kejahatan pornografi dari tahun ke tahun semakin memprihatinkan sehingga mengakibatkan semakin banyaknya kejahatan yang dilakukan di antaranya, pelecehan seksual, perkosaan, dan sebagainya. Perbuatan pornografi itu sendiri juga dapat memberikan dampak negatif terhadap moralitas bangsa Indonesia. Sehingga merugikan banyak orang. Oleh sebab itu perbuatan pornografi dilarang oleh norma agama, norma kesopanan, dan juga norma kesusilaan, maka perbuatan pornografi tersebut merupakan perbuatan yang tercela, maka perbuatan tersebut pantas untuk dinyatakan sebagai perbuatan kriminal (Tindak Pidana). Dalam praktiknya penyelesaian terhadap masalah pornografi belum sesuai dengan yang diharapkan. Seringkali kesulitan dalam mengatasi tindak pidana pornografi (pornoaksi) antara lain disebabkan oleh adanya pengertian dan penafsiran yang berbeda terhadap pasal KUHP yang mengatur masalah pornografi.

Pathway to Participation: The Dilemma in Early Years Education Learning Environments in Kenya
Authors: Amolloh Odundo Paul , Lilian Ganira Khavugwi
Published: January 2023

Listening to what children say expand upon language, building vocabulary and background knowledge in social, political and economic world for effective communication. Article 12 of the CRC 1989 stresses the right to participation in decision-making processes, which influence choices taken by children for empowering sense of belonging and community cohesion.  However, too often children are denied opportunities for participation in decision-making and to exercise responsibility resulting to under democracy situations. In addition, there is limited understanding of children’s right to participate in matters affecting them in developing countries especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. The study sought to determine children’s; perceptions, preferences, interests, views and feelings concerning participation in pre-primary school learning environments in Kenya.  This was an exploratory case study, which relied on data sampled from pre-primary school children and teachers in selected schools in Kenya using probability and simple random sampling techniques. Anchored on recognition theory, the study determined that participation of children is scanty and in instances where it occurs, only at the implementation stage rather than the planning design. The study recommended the need for collaboration and sharing information among children, teachers, communities and government towards realization of children’s perception to what they say and in decision making.

Authors: Saeed Ava , Najeeb Hishyar
Published: January 2023

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has rapidly spread across the globe since its outbreak in Wuhan, China, in 2019. Clinical evidence suggests higher oxidative stress in COVID-19 patients, and this worsening redox status which may contribute to disease progression. The present study aimed to investigate the oxidative Deoxyribonucleic acid damage in patients with mild and severe COVID-19 infection and to evaluate its relationship to the disease progression and severity. A case-control study was conducted from September 2021 to January 2022 in Duhok city, Kurdistan Region-Iraq. 180 individuals have participated. Among 88 COVID-19 cases, 92 healthy volunteers as the control group, with ages ranging (18-45) years. Patients were divided into two groups according to the severity of infection (mild cases, severe cases). Serum level of 8-OHdG and malondialdehyde (MDA) were assessed as oxidative stress biomarkers. Serum levels of 8-OHdG were considerably higher in patients with COVID-19 infection in comparison to the control group, (p<0.01). The further statistical analysis has revealed a significantly higher 8-OHdG in blood in female cases with severe COVID-19 infection compared cases with a mild infection, (p<0.01). Serum MDA levels in severe cases were higher, statistically significant when compared with the control group (p=0.007). Severe cases had higher level of MDA than in mild case, in male cases (p<0.05) in female cases (p<0.0001).  The current data suggest that patients who were infected severely with COVID-19 are under huge oxidative stress attack. Analysis of data shows that severe cases of COVID-19 infection had significantly greater level of serum 8-OHdG than in healthy control subjects.
Heat Exposure and Oxidative DNA Damage Among Bakery Workers in Duhok Province, Iraq
Authors: Kheder Rayan , Al-Dosky Ali
Published: January 2023

Background and rationales: There are not much researches on the effects of heat exposure, specifically on oxidative DNA damage, among bakery employees.  Physical labor-intensive baking exposes bakers to high temperatures, especially in traditional bakeries with uncovered ovens. An electronic heat measuring device index and serum 8-hydroxy-2-deoxy guanosine(8-OHdG) will be utilized in this study to quantify oxidative DNA damage and heat stress, respectively. The impact of heat exposure on oxidative DNA damage in the Duhok populace has not yet been studied in the literature. This study aimed to measure the impact of heat exposure on serum levels of oxidative DNA damage in bakers who work in high-temperature bakeries. Method: A case control study was carried out among 141 participants, 62 individuals exposed to heat (bakery workers) and 79 individuals unexposed to heat exposure as control group. 8-hydroxy 2-deoxy guanosine (8-OHdG) has been analyzed using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Results: The mean ±SD of 8-OHdG in bakery workers (13.78 ±5.89 ng/ml) were higher than those in healthy control individuals (1.55 ±0.75 ng/ml) with a statistically significantly differences (p<0.0001). Conclusion: High mean levels of 8-OHdG was found in exposed individuals (bakery workers) in comparison with control individuals unexposed to heat, suggesting that high-heat exposures have the risk of causing genetic effects and DNA damage.

Authors: Tsibulskaya N Yu.
Published: January 2023

Аim: to assess the influence of the patient's psychotype on the degree of nighttime reduction in blood pressure (BP) to determine predictors of an unfavorable daily BP profile.

Materials and methods. The study involved 80 patients with newly diagnosed or untreated arterial hypertension (AH), with various stages, severity, risk of developing cardiovascular complications, in the absence of concomitant severe somatic pathology, who independently consulted a local therapist. All patients underwent 24-hour blood pressure monitoring in the absence of antihypertensive therapy and the psychological profile was assessed using the SMOL  questionnaire.

Results. The psychopathological profile of the examined AH patients corresponded to the social and psychological adaptation. Our analysis of the indices of   the averaged profile of the SMOL test, depending on the degree of reduction in nocturnal systolic blood pressure (between dipper and non-dipper profiles) and diastolic blood pressure (between dipper, non-dipper and extreme dipper patterns profiles) did not reveal statistically significant differences (p > 0,05). Patients with a riser daily blood pressure profile, due to the small size of the group, were not included in the comparative analysis. The average profile of SMOL of the examined patients was noted by an increase in indicators on the scales 1 – hypochondria and 3 – emotional lability.

Conclusion. The variant of the daily blood pressure profile does not depend on the psychotype of the patient; it is likely that functional and structural changes that occur during the formation of hypertension affect the type of the degree of nighttime decrease in blood pressure.

Objective: To assess renal function and renal hemodynamics in obese individuals at various stages of the cardiometabolic continuum, including metabolically healthy abdominal obesity (MНАО) without metabolic syndrome (MS), MS, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).

Materials and methods: The sample (n = 156) consisting of individuals with abdominal obesity (AO) aged 18-45 years. Study methods included anthropometric measurements, laboratory (total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL, uric acid, creatinine, cystatin C, glucose, insulin, with calculation of HOMA-IR, adiponectin, leptin, glomerular filtration rate) and instrumental examinations (renal ultrasound and renal artery duplex scaning, CT with determination of fat depots).

Results: Renal function (GFR) and renal blood flow were to be strongly related to fat depot sizes, both systemic (intraabdominal fat) and local (perirenal fat and renal sinus fat) depot. In persons with MHAO, there is a slight decrease in GFR compared to healthy persons and an increase in the pulse index (PI), which indicates an increase in peripheral vascular resistance to blood flow. In individuals with MS and type 2 DM, these changes are even more pronounced.

Conclusions: Thus, the identification of renal hemodynamic disorders at the early stages of the cardiometabolic continuum will allow highlighting persons with high renal and cardiovascular risk

The first is the adlibitum method, namely the method of delivering broadcasts through conversation, relaxed. Broadcasters do so without text or script by using fluent, clear, firm and uncomplicated speech. The scond method is script reading, the method is a broadcast while reading the text, either the text is made by yourself or someone else's. In this case, the reading of the text needs to be done as if you are not reading a script, as if it was read ad libitum without a tone of reading.

In order to explore the genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationship of the genus Menida Motschulsky, 1861 and reveal the molecular evolution of the family Pentatomidae, subfamily Pentatominae, complete mitochondrial genomes of three species of Menida were sequenced, and the phylogenetic relationships of tribes within the subfamily Pentatominae were studied based on these results. The mitochondrial genomes of Menida musiva (Jakovlev, 1876), M. lata Yang, 1934, and M. metallica Hsiao & Cheng, 1977 were 16,663 bp, 16,463 bp, and 16,418 bp, respectively, encoding 37 genes and including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and a control region. The mitochondrial genome characteristics of Menida were compared and analyzed, and the phylogenetic tree of the Pentatominae was constructed based on the mitochondrial genome datasets using Bayesian inference (BI) and maximum likelihood (MI) methods. The results showed that gene arrangements, nucleotide composition, codon preference, gene overlaps, and RNA secondary structures were highly conserved within the Menida and had more similar characteristics in Pentatominae. The phylogenetic analysis shows a highly consistent topological structure based on BI and ML methods, which supported that the genus Menida belongs to the Pentatominae and is closely related to Hoplistoderini. The examined East Asian species of Menida form a monophyletic group with the internal relationships: (M. musiva + (M. lata + (M. violacea + M. metallica))). In addition, these results support the monophyly of Eysarcorini and Strachiini. Placosternum and Cappaeini are stable sister groups in the evolutionary branch of Pentatominae. The results of this study enrich the mitochondrial genome databases of Pentatominae and have significance for further elucidation of the phylogenetic relationships within the Pentatominae.

Authors: Jin Ya-Li , Bu Yun
Published: January 2023

Symphylella macrochaetasp. nov. and Symphylella longispinasp. nov. from China are described and illustrated. Symphylella macrochaetasp. nov. is characterized by 10 extremely long macrosetae arranged as 4/4/2 on the frons, tergites with broad triangular processes, and 4+4 setae on the first tergite. Symphylella longispinasp. nov. is characterized by a thick and prominent labrum, distinctly long proximal spines on the mandible, eight macrosetae arranged as 4/2/2 on frons, 3+3 setae on first tergite, and narrow triangular processes on the tergites. Detailed comparisons of the new species with similar species are presented. In addition, the frons chaetotaxy of Symphylella is illustrated and discussed for the first time and proposed as a significant diagnostic character for the taxonomic study of the genus.

In this paper, we propose a novel family of distributions called the odd Muth-G distributions by using Transformed-Transformer methodology and study their essential properties. The distinctive feature of the proposed family is that it can provide numerous special models with significant applications in reliability analysis. The density of the new model is expressible in terms of linear combinations of generalized exponentials, a useful feature to extract most properties of the proposed family. Some of the structural properties are derived in the form of explicit expressions such as quantile function, moments, probability weighted moments and entropy. The model parameters are estimated following the method of maximum likelihood principle. Weibull is selected as a baseline to propose an odd Muth-Weibull distribution with some useful properties. In order to confirm that our results converge with minimized mean squared error and biases, a simulation study has been performed. Additionally, a plan acceptance sampling design is proposed in which the lifetime of an item follows an odd Muth-Weibull model by taking median lifetime as a quality parameter. Two real-life data applications are presented to establish practical usefulness of the proposed model with conclusive evidence that the model has enough flexibility to fit a wide panel of lifetime data sets.

Published: January 2023

Breast cancer occurs in the epithelial tissue of the gland, so the accuracy of gland segmentation is crucial to the physician's diagnosis. An innovative technique for breast mammography image gland segmentation is put forth in this paper. In the first step, the algorithm designed the gland segmentation evaluation function. Then a new mutation strategy is established, and the adaptive controlled variables are used to balance the ability of improved differential evolution (IDE) in terms of investigation and convergence. To evaluate its performance, The proposed method is validated on a number of benchmark breast images, including four types of glands from the Quanzhou First Hospital, Fujian, China. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm is been systematically compared to five state-of-the-art algorithms. From the average MSSIM and boxplot, the evidence suggests that the mutation strategy may be effective in searching the topography of the segmented gland problem. The experiment results demonstrated that the proposed method has the best gland segmentation results compared to other algorithms.
Dual-process system based on mixed semantic fusion for Chinese medical knowledge-based question answering

Published: January 2023

Chinese medical knowledge-based question answering (cMed-KBQA) is a vital component of the intelligence question-answering assignment. Its purpose is to enable the model to comprehend questions and then deduce the proper answer from the knowledge base. Previous methods solely considered how questions and knowledge base paths were represented, disregarding their significance. Due to entity and path sparsity, the performance of question and answer cannot be effectively enhanced. To address this challenge, this paper presents a structured methodology for the cMed-KBQA based on the cognitive science dual systems theory by synchronizing an observation stage (System 1) and an expressive reasoning stage (System 2). System 1 learns the question's representation and queries the associated simple path. Then System 2 retrieves complicated paths for the question from the knowledge base by using the simple path provided by System 1. Specifically, System 1 is implemented by the entity extraction module, entity linking module, simple path retrieval module, and simple path-matching model. Meanwhile, System 2 is performed by using the complex path retrieval module and complex path-matching model. The public CKBQA2019 and CKBQA2020 datasets were extensively studied to evaluate the suggested technique. Using the metric average F1-score, our model achieved 78.12% on CKBQA2019 and 86.60% on CKBQA2020.
