Criminal acts of sexual violence that occur in adolescent relationships can be said to be a form of unhealthy relationship. Not a few teenagers make unhealthy relationships as an outlet for emotions that are not channeled properly, and can also be a psychological trauma that encourages a teenager to take retaliatory actions against others. Sexual violence against women and children is an essence in the form of violence by showing the vulnerability of the position of women or children to sexual interests that occur in men. The identification of acts committed by a perpetrator of sexual violence is sexual desire and power that cannot be restrained and most women are always used as object. The issues raised in this writing are What are the forms of sexual violence in unhealthy relationships and Analysis of Toxic Relationship crimes. This research method uses normative juridical methods with a statutory approach and a case approach. Based on this study, the spread of sexual violence that occurs in unhealthy relationships usually attacks victims, especially women who are trapped in a relationship with the perpetrator. The government and law enforcement officials have a role to punish and sanction perpetrators of toxic relationship crimes.

Inseticidas reguladores de crescimento de insetos afetam o desenvolvimento e a reprodução do predador Podisus nigrispinus (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae)
Authors:   , Santos Junior Valdeir Celestino
Published: July 2024

Os controles biológico e químico devem ser compatíveis para o sucesso do manejo integrado de pragas em sistemas agrícolas e florestais. Os inseticidas reguladores de crescimento foram desenvolvidos com o intuito de aumentar a seletividade e diminuir a toxicidade dos inseticidas. A sobrevivência, malformações, parâmetros reprodutivos e o corpo gorduroso de adultos do percevejo predador Podisus nigrispinus (Dallas) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), emergidos de ninfas de quinto instar expostas aos inseticidas azadiractina, novalurom, piriproxifen e tebufenozida foram avaliados. Azadiractina, novalurom e piriproxifen reduziram a sobrevivência e todos os inseticidas causaram morte durante a ecdise e malformações nas asas, assimetria no escutelo, dobras nas pernas de adultos de P. nigrispinus. Azadiractina e novalurom reduziram os períodos de oviposição, pós oviposição, números de ovos por fêmea, de ovos por postura e de postura por fêmea e a longevidade de fêmeas emergidas de ninfas expostas à esse inseticidas. Novalurom reduziu a longevidade de machos de P. nigrispinus mas aumentou o número de ovos nas fêmeas acasaladas com estes machos emergidos de ninfas expostas ao inseticida. O piriproxifen reduziu a longevidade, os períodos de pré-oviposição e oviposição e os números de ovos por fêmea e postura por fêmea emergida de ninfas expostos e o tebufenozida reduziu a longevidade de machos de P. nigrispinus emergidos de ninfas de quinto instar expostas à esse inseticidas. O aumento de vacuolização e a perda de formato regular de células do corpo gorduroso foram observados em adultos de P. nigrispinus emergidos de ninfas expostas a todos os inseticidas. Azadiractina, novalurom e piriproxifen reduziram a sobrevivência de adultos e os parâmetros reprodutivos de fêmeas, e todos os inseticidas causaram malformações e aumentaram a vacuolização no corpo gorduroso de P. nigrispinus. Palavras-chave: Tebufenozida. Azadiractina. Controle biológico. Novalurom. Piriproxifen.
toxicidade do inseticida imidacloprido à vespa social predadora Mischocyttarus cassununga (HYMENOPTERA: VESPIDAE)
Authors:   , Marques Raquel Diniz
Published: July 2024

O inseticida imidacloprido é amplamente utilizado na agricultura para o controle químico de pragas. No entanto, possíveis efeitos nocivos desse pesticida sobre inimigos naturais, como vespas predadoras, têm sido pouco estudados. Neste trabalho, foi avaliado efeitos letais e subletais do imidacloprido sobre a vespa social Mischocyttarus cassununga (Von Ihering, 1903). Em laboratório, fêmeas foram expostas oralmente por 72 horas a oito concentrações de imidacloprido (4; 4,8; 6; 12; 24; 48; 96; 192 mg de i.a./L) para análise de sobrevivência. As concentrações letais CL 50 e CL 10 foram estimadas em 36,11 e 7,46 mg i.a./L, respectivamente. Essas duas concentrações foram subsequentemente usadas em experimentos comportamentais de exposição crônica e aguda. Os resultados mostraram que a sobrevivência das vespas diminuiu com a ingestão de concentrações crescentes de imidacloprido; a ingestão de dieta contaminada com CL 50 ou CL 10 afetou negativamente o comportamento de locomoção (distância percorrida, número de paradas e meandros), mas não houve efeitos sobre o comportamento alimentar (repelência e fagoinibição). Especificamente, as vespas não discriminaram alimento contaminado de não contaminado. Assim, os resultados sugerem que M. cassununga está sujeita à contaminação oral por imidacloprido, podendo resultar em efeitos letais e subletais (comportamento), portanto, este inseticida pode apresentar riscos potenciais para vespas predadoras expostas em campo. Palavras-chave: Vespas sociais. Imidacloprido. Efeito letal. Efeitos subletais.

Assessing the Legal Framework and Socioeconomic Impacts of Compensation for Wrongfully Convicted and Imprisoned Persons in Bangladesh: Challenges and Policy Recommendations
Authors: Raj Md. Alamgir Sarkar
Published: July 2024

This study delves into the social consequences of convictions in Bangladesh, underscoring the pressing call for thorough legislative and policy changes. It critically assesses the structure and its shortcomings in offering just compensation to those wrongfully convicted, as exemplified by prominent cases like Jahalam, Abdul Jalil, Javed Ali and Sheikh Zahid. Through a research methodology involving literature reviews, case studies, interviews and surveys, the study sheds light on the psychological and financial burdens exonerees and their loved ones face. Comparative analyses of compensation mechanisms in countries like the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia reveal best practices and underscore the gaps in Bangladesh's current system. Recommendations include enacting specific compensation legislation, establishing a dedicated compensation fund, enhancing procedural safeguards, and offering comprehensive post-exoneration support. By implementing these measures, Bangladesh can better align with international human rights standards and uphold the constitutional rights of its citizens. This study aims to contribute to the broader discourse on justice reform, advocating for a structured and humane approach to addressing wrongful convictions. The findings underscore the importance of legal and institutional reforms in ensuring that justice prevails for those wrongfully convicted, ultimately reinforcing the integrity and fairness of Bangladesh's judicial system.

Authors: Mukandahiro Florence , Kranjac-Berisavljevic Gordana , Osei Enock Asante
Published: July 2024

This study examined the challenges faced by men, women, and different age groups in irrigation water management and farming practices in the Bontanga and Golinga irrigation schemes. The results of the study revealed that there are significant differences in irrigation and farming practices between men and women as well as between older and younger farmers. For men, the main challenges were; limited access to financial resources for investing in modern irrigation technologies and equipment, inadequate knowledge and awareness of sustainable farming practices and water management insufficient government support, and lack of policies tailored to their specific needs. For women, these were gender inequalities and limited access to land, water, and productive resources, lack of control and decision-making power over irrigation water allocation, and limited access to training and extension services to enhance their farming skills. Youth recognized limited interest and involvement in agriculture due to the perception of low profitability and lack of modernization, inadequate access to education and training opportunities in agricultural practices and water management, and insufficient support and mentorship programs to encourage youth participation in farming.
Sree Narayana Guru’s Perspectives and Advaita Philosophy: A Review of Guru’s Selected Works
Authors: P. Pratheesh , Reema Mary
Published: July 2024

After Adi Shankara, Sree Narayana Guru was the greatest spiritual philosopher Kerala has ever produced. He offered a way of life that was both materialistic and spiritually balanced. Through his philosophical writings, he imparts knowledge on how to uphold a dialectical union of the conceptual and the practical manner of living. The predominant and best-known school of Indian philosophy, Advaita Vedanta, espouses the unchanging non-dualism between the Universal Soul and the Individual Soul. Narayana Guru dedicated his entire life to demonstrating to the world that Advaita may be put into practice and acknowledges Advaita as the philosophical foundation for man’s practical concerns in the world. The key distinction between the Advaita systems of Sankara and Narayana Guru is how they are used in the real world. Advaita Vedanta was synthesized by Narayana Guru. Narayana Guru combined the theistic Vedic practice of love and service with the Advaita Vedanta notion of Brahman’s oneness (ekatma vada). Through his works, Narayana Guru spread the holy message to all people and encouraged them to embrace timeless truths and aspirations. This essay attempts to examine a few of Narayana Guru’s writings in order to examine how the Advaita philosophy affected him and how he saw Advaita. This study uses the historical research method, and its conclusions show that Advaita philosophy directly influences both the religious teachings he imparts and the motivations for his socio-religious conduct.

Authors: Boata Albert
Published: July 2024

Following the burst of the high-tech bubble and corporate finance scandals, corporate governance (CG) has emerged as a critical global concern. This study explores corporate practices on a global scale, with particular attention to the International Corporate Governance Standards. It seeks to comprehend how organizations prioritize CG practices, especially from the Ghanaian perspective.The study employed both secondary and primary data to investigate the research. Relying on secondary data, the researcher reviewed relevant textbooks, journals, web-based sources, official company documents, published reports, newspapers, articles and monographs. The researcher also gathered primary data by administering questionnaire to respondents. Out of 99 respondents to whom questionnaires were sent, 78 (representing 79%) returned their responses. Upon receipt, the researcher used SPSS 15.0 to draw bar chart in order to analyse the results. The findings indicate that while Ghana has made significant strides in promoting CG awareness and implementing robust policies supported by laws and institutions, there remain gaps between stated priorities and actual practices. Issues such as conflicts of interest, lack of effective oversight by audit committees, and discrepancies in disclosure practices suggest areas for improvement.

Paganism Persisting
Authors: Douglas Robin , Young Francis
Published: July 2024

Paganism in Europe was not defeated by Christianity: it never went away. From the fourth century to the twentieth, against the background of a largely Christian culture, people repeatedly attempted to revive various kinds of pre-Christian religion – beliefs and practices that we have come to label as ‘paganism’. Ancient paganism did not survive the Middle Ages in its original form; this book tells the story of the persistence of elements of paganism and the pagan idea through Europe’s pagan revivals, from Byzantine Greece to medieval Eastern Europe and Renaissance Florence, from eighteenth-century Norwich to revolutionary Paris and Edwardian England. While some of these revivals are well known and others are almost entirely forgotten, they reveal the rich diversity of interpretations of paganism – and how those interpretations have been conditioned by the surrounding culture. Revived paganisms ranged from the austerely rational to the earnestly romantic, from the mystical and occult to the stridently nationalistic. Paganism Persisting reveals European paganism’s long afterlife, up to and including the emergence of modern paganism as a mass movement in the twentieth century. The authors are both historians of religion specializing, respectively, in the intellectual history of the idea of paganism and in the development of popular religion and folklore. This book has much to offer to anyone interested in European cultural history, the history of ideas and religious studies.

El movimiento dental producido por ortodoncia involucra fuerzas mecánicas que logran inducir procesos inflamatorios necesarios para producir cambios fisiológicos en el periodonto. Es común que se produzca una reabsorción radicular apical (RRA) postratamiento ortodóncico, logrando afectar principalmente incisivos y molares. Dada su correlación con la pérdida ósea y la movilidad dental, su detección temprana es crucial. El presente artículo se llevó a cabo con el objetivo de identificar la causa y el tipo más común de reabsorción radicular en dientes sometidos a tratamiento ortodóncico, así como los factores de riesgo asociados con su aparición. Metodología: Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica con palabras claves como “reabsorción radicular”, “ortodoncia”, “movimiento ortodóncico”, “fuerza” y “etiología” en bases de datos como PubMed, Scopus y Google Scholar. Se encontraron 3841 resultados relacionados con los patrones de búsqueda, de los cuales se excluyeron 3113 estudios no relevantes al tema, obteniendo 668 en los cuales se aplicó los criterios de exclusión antes mencionados quedando 164 estudios, los cuales se leyeron para seleccionar los estudios más acordes al tema, quedando 40, los cuales se utilizaron en la presente revisión narrativa de literatura. Conclusión: La reabsorción radicular (RRA), que afecta el cemento y la dentina de la raíz, es una condición común en la ortodoncia. Para prevenir y controlar esta condición, las radiografías tempranas y el manejo adecuado con fuerzas moderadas ortodóncicas son esenciales. A pesar de que existen opciones farmacológicas, su uso en la práctica es limitado por los efectos secundarios y la falta de estudios.
A Statistical Analysis and Strategic Recommendations on Global Educational Investment and Poverty Reduction
Authors: Jain Jain , Ryou Hyunseo Aiden , Ryou Junseo Andy , Thienpreecha Pukaphol , Morrison Robert
Published: July 2024

Purpose: This study examines the relationship between educational funding and poverty alleviation worldwide. By analyzing data from 1960 to 2023, encompassing 71 countries, it aims to understand how increasing educational investment impacts poverty rates.
Methodology: The analysis utilized data from the World Bank’s World Development Indicators. Data cleaning was performed using Excel, while statistical analyses were conducted using Python’s sci-kit-learn, SciPy, NumPy, Matplotlib, and IBM’s SPSS. The methodologies included a normal model setup, Gaussian Process Regression (GPR), linear regression, hypothesis testing, and confidence interval computation to establish correlations and predict outcomes.
Findings: The study discovered a negative correlation between education funding and poverty rates. Specifically, a 1% increase in educational spending as a percentage of GDP correlates with a 3.09% reduction in poverty rates. The 95% confidence interval of [-4.979, -1.201] and the hypothesis test with a p value of 0.002 on the slope of the regression line further reinforce the observed negative trend. GPR predictions indicate that the decrease in poverty rate changes from about 5% to 10% of population as educational funding rises from 0% to 1.5% of GDP. The likelihood of annual poverty rate increase stands at 40.46%, with a potential 0.4052% rise in such cases.
Unique contribution to theory, practice, and policy: This study recommends progressive educational funding reforms, targeted tax credits for educational investments, and strategic educational programs aligned with labor market needs. Policy implications suggest a multilateral approach involving governments, corporations, and citizens to foster substantial improvements in education and poverty reduction efforts. These findings advocate for data-driven policy reforms to optimize the socio-economic benefits of educational funding globally.

Published: July 2024

Agriculture remains an important component of Kazakhstan's development, creating a significant part of the country's GDP. However, it still requires finding new opportunities to increase the efficiency of its functioning. Thus, the purpose of the work was to analyse the possibility of developing agriculture in the Republic of Kazakhstan, namely, with the help of innovations. The main method used in writing the article can be considered modelling, taking into account the number of models of functioning of state regulation in the country built in the work to improve innovation processes in the country. Other methods include analysis, induction, comparison, and others. This paper substantiates the need to improve state regulation in the field of innovation in agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and also describes the likely directions of development in this direction. In connection with the existing shortcomings in the management system, models of state support for enterprises in the agricultural sector were developed and proposed for the development of innovation in the industry. The presented models provide the possibility of using modern tools for regulating processes, taking into account a systematic approach, which ensures the coordination of actions of the relevant authorities to ensure both private and national interests. The main difference between the models proposed in the work and those existing in the Republic of Kazakhstan is the presence of a single centre that is fully responsible for the development of agriculture at the local and national levels, and ensures the achievement of an increase in innovation in it. Thus, the work allows re-evaluating the existing methods of agricultural development, and also brings new knowledge to the formation of the principles of public administration
Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 activation in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats normalize renal hemodynamics and oxygen consumption
Authors: Persson Patrik
Published: July 2024

Background: Diabetic kidney disease is a major contributor to end stage renal disease. A change in kidney oxygen homeostasis leading to decreased tissue oxygen tension is an important factor initiating alterations in kidney function in diabetes. However, the mechanism contributing to changed oxygen homeostasis is still unclear. Hyperglycemia-induced production of reactive oxygen species and an altered response to them have previously been demonstrated. In the present study, chronic treatment with DL-sulforaphane to induce nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) expression, a master transcriptional regulator binding to antioxidant response elements inducing increased protection against reactive oxygen species, is studied.
Methods: Sprague–Dawley rats were made diabetic using streptozotocin and either left untreated or received daily subcutaneous injections of DL-sulforaphane for 4 weeks. Age-matched non-diabetic rats served as controls. After 4 weeks of treatment, rats were anesthetized using thiobutabarbital, and kidney functions were studied in terms of glomerular filtration rate (GFR), renal blood flow (RBF), sodium transport, kidney oxygen consumption, and kidney oxygen tension. Mitochondria was isolated from kidney cortical tissue and investigated using high-resolution respirometry.
Results: GFR was increased in diabetics but not RBF resulting in increased filtration fraction in diabetics. DL-sulforaphane treatment did not affect RBF and GFR in controls but decreased the same parameters in diabetics. Increased GFR resulted in increased sodium transport and oxygen consumption, hence decreased efficiency in diabetics compared to controls. Increased oxygen consumption in diabetics resulted in decreased cortical tissue oxygen tension. DL-sulforaphane treatment decreased oxygen consumption in diabetics, whereas transport efficiency was not significantly affected. DL-sulforaphane treatment increased cortical pO2 in diabetics.
Conclusions: DL-sulforaphane treatment affects renal hemodynamics, improving cortical oxygen tension but not mitochondrial efficiency.

ALLERGIC CONJUNCTIVITIS IN CHILDHOOD
Authors: Barros de Sá Janilson , Carvalho de Sá Vinicius , Guilherme de Sá Santos João
Published: July 2024

Allergic conjunctivitis is an eye condition prevalent among children, characterized by inflammation of the conjunctiva resulting from an allergic reaction to substances such as pollen, dust, dust mites and animal dander. This disease is a manifestation of the immune system and causes symptoms such as intense itching, tearing, hyperemia and a sensation of a foreign body in the eyes. The management of allergic conjunctivitis ranges from simple measures, such as frequent eye washing and avoidance of allergens, to the use of medications such as antihistamines, mast cell stabilizers and topical corticosteroids. In childhood, the management of allergic conjunctivitis faces difficulties such as variability in response to treatment and the impossibility of completely avoiding exposure to allergens. The general objective of this study is to evaluate management strategies for allergic conjunctivitis in childhood, with an emphasis on the effectiveness of available treatments and the identification of factors that influence the response to treatment. Specific objectives include analyzing the effectiveness of different treatments, investigating the influence of environmental and individual factors on disease severity and recurrence, and discussing the management of allergic conjunctivitis. This study is relevant as appropriate management of allergic conjunctivitis can prevent complications and improve children’s well-being. Identifying factors that influence response to treatment can contribute to the development of more personalized and effective therapeutic approaches. Recent literature highlights the need to improve education of parents and caregivers about allergic conjunctivitis to ensure appropriate management of the disease. Studies show that understanding the immunological mechanisms underlying the disease is crucial for developing new therapies. Therefore, this research not only adds to scientific knowledge about childhood allergic conjunctivitis, but also provides valuable insights for clinical practice and health policy formulation.

Published: July 2024

Learning is required to provide opportunities for students to be involved in the learning process, including chemistry learning. Learning chemistry is still a scourge for most children, or is considered a difficult subject. Based on observations and interviews, the results showed that students were less actively involved in learning activities. This is because teachers have not optimized the use of methods and innovative learning models. This research focuses more on the application of the PBL learning model. The hope is that students will be motivated to study chemistry, especially the topic of physical and chemical changes. This research is a qualitative descriptive study. Data processing techniques are carried out by describing the data collected and analyzing the implementation of learning, in order to find best practices that can be disseminated. The impact of applying the problem based learning model on material on physical changes and chemical changes is very affective because it can make students active in participating in learning activities and learning outcomes also increase. In order to make learning innovation work well in the future, you must: Carry out careful planning in the learning process which can be done through coordination with teachers and education staff. Careful planning ensures that innovation will not disrupt the flow of in-depth learning of the material. On the other hand, innovation can support a better level of understanding of the material.

Metinlerin yapısal düzenlenişine yönelik farkındalık geliştirmenin metni anlamayı olumlu yönde etkilediği bilinmektedir. Çocuk okurların açıklayıcı metin yapısı farkındalığının geliştirilmesiyle yalnızca dil becerileri değil, diğer alanlardaki başarısı da etkilenmektedir, çünkü açıklayıcı metinler çocukların tüm eğitim yaşantılarında karşılaştığı temel araçlardandır. Okula başlangıçta, düzeyler arası geçişte ya da durum belirlemede geçerli ve güvenilir ölçme araçlarının kullanılması gerekir. Bu gereksinime yönelik olarak bu çalışmada, ortaokula yeni başlayan çocukların açıklayıcı metin yapısı farkındalığını belirlemeye dönük bir başarı testi geliştirilmiştir. Süreçte maddelerin yazılması ve 35 maddelik taslak testin oluşturulmasından sonra uzman görüşleri alınmış; ardından deneme uygulaması ortaokula yeni başlamış, 5. sınıf düzeyinde, 10-12 yaşlarında 150 öğrenci ile yapılmıştır. Uygulama sonrasındaki madde çözümlemelerine göre 10 madde çıkarılarak 25 maddelik testin son sürümüne ulaşılmıştır. Teste alınan maddelerin güçlük indeksi 0,29 ile 0,58; ayırt edicilik indeksi 0,30 ile 0,63 arasında dağılmıştır. Tüm maddelerde alt-üst küme ortalamaları arasında anlamlı fark çıkmıştır. Ölçme aracının KR-20 iç tutarlık katsayısı, 35 maddelik deneme sürümünde 0,83; 25 maddelik son sürümde ise 0,80’dir. Maddelerin güçlük düzeyi ortalamalarına bakıldığında açıklayıcı metin yapıları kolaydan zora doğru şöyle sıralanmıştır: tanımlama, sorun-çözüm, sıralama, karşıtlık-karşılaştırma, neden-sonuç. Açıklayıcı metin yapılarının öğretiminde bu sıralama göz önünde bulundurulabilir.

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the main causes of death and the highest cause of death caused by infection. Distinguishing between pulmonary TB that has been cured and completed treatment from retreatment TB based only on history, physical examination, laboratory examination and radiological findings is often difficult because pulmonary TB is often non-specific and the sensitivity of sputum microscopic examination for BTA bacteria is 50-60%. Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) is considered to have a stronger discriminatory ability in predicting bacteremia than discrimination based on neutrophilia or lymphocytopenia alone. Method: This research uses analytical research methods with a case-control design because measurements are carried out at the same time. This study uses secondary data obtained from the medical records of patients who experienced TB in the period from January 2020 to May 2022. Results: In this study, the average age of cases was 48 ± 17 years and that of controls was 52 ± 14 years. Based on the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve, it was found that the best NLR cut-off was 3.2 with a sensitivity of 92% and a specificity of 32%. Based on chi-square analysis, it was found that the NLR cut-off of 3.2 was significantly correlated with the incidence of retreatment with P=0.009. Conclusion: The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) with a cut-off of 3.2 can be used as a useful indicator in tuberculosis (TB) retreatment.

Introduction: Soft tissue tumors account for 1 – 1.5% of all cancer, which is the tenth most common cancer in referral oncology hospitals in Indonesia. Liposarcomas are a group of histologically diverse lesions, accounting for 12.8% – 20% of all soft tissue malignancies. Some soft tissue tumors may show similar histological appearance, making differentiating mesenchymal neoplasms a difficult challenge. Immunohistochemical examination is an advanced examination to refine and determine the diagnosis that cannot be established based on histopathological examination only. Methods: This study was an observational descriptive study with a retrospective approach. The data of patients with liposarcoma was obtained from immunohistochemistry examination results in Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital during 2020 – 2022 period, which includes the histopathology result. All cases were classified based on WHO. We considered only patients with immunohistochemistry examination proven diagnosis who underwent surgery or biopsy in the same institution. Results: The total number of liposarcoma cases was 20, with most patients were male (90%) and age group 40 – 49 years old (30%). The most common location was the abdominal region (55%), including intra-abdominal, mesentery, and retroperitoneal. The most common subtype was dedifferentiated liposarcoma with 10 cases (50%). Conclusions: Immunohistochemistry examination in malignant adipocytic tumors aims to confirm the diagnosis, with the most common subtype being dedifferentiated liposarcoma. It is necessary to consider the morphology in H&E staining together with the immunohistochemistry profile as well as all clinical and radiology information to establish the most relevant diagnosis.

Driving safety is a core area of road research, and the casualties and property damage caused by traffic accidents are enormous. Since most accidents are related to drivers, studying their behavior and psychology is essential to improve driving safety. This paper mainly focuses on the driver’s psychological state at the end of the green light of the traffic light (countdown 3s), and the behavior and detention of the driver at the end of the green light. Through psychological investigation, drivers who choose to pass the stop line at the end of the countdown to the green light can be divided into three types: adventurous, cautious, and peaceful. Comparing the situation of the on-site investigation with the psychological investigation, it is found that the driver’s judgment of the driving process has a certain error with the real situation.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a chronic and debilitating mental health condition characterized by persistent intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions). While cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) involving exposure and response prevention (ERP) and pharmacotherapy with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are first-line treatments, many individuals continue to experience persistent symptoms or achieve only partial remission. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs), which aim to cultivate present-moment awareness and acceptance of internal experiences, have emerged as a promising adjunctive or alternative treatment approach for OCD. This review synthesizes the existing literature on the use of MBIs, such as mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), for OCD. Potential mechanisms by which MBIs may benefit individuals with OCD include improved attentional regulation, enhanced emotion regulation skills, reduced cognitive inflexibility through promoting cognitive defusion, and decreased experiential avoidance of intrusive thoughts and urges. Several studies have demonstrated the efficacy of MBIs in reducing OCD symptom severity, and providing insights into how MBIs can increase acceptance, improve emotion regulation, and foster a greater sense of control over symptoms.

Pneumonia is based on symptoms such as tachypnea, fever, rhonchi, and opacity/consolidation on a thoracic X-ray or CT scan of the thorax. Lung ultrasound (LUS) has been reported to be highly effective in diagnosing pneumonia and pneumothorax. LUS can be an excellent imaging modality and complement chest radiography and physical examination in diagnosing and surveillance pneumonia cases. Lung ultrasound examination has advantages mainly because the ionization exposure to the patient is minimal. This study was proposed to find the correlation between lung ultrasound (LUS) and thorax X-ray for pneumonia in patients in the ICU. This type of research is a prospective analytic observational with a cross-sectional study. The samples were all adult patients with clinical pneumonia symptoms in the Intensive Care Unit of Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah Denpasar Central General Hospital from May to July 2023, aged 20-60 years with B.M.I. < 40 kg/m2. The sampling method was consecutive sampling. Statistical data analysis using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26 for Windows program. Data analysis was carried out in three stages: Descriptive analysis, Spearman correlation coefficient analysis, and diagnostic analysis with the help of Stata 17. The number of subjects obtained was 56 respondents. The mean age ± SD was 52.79 ± 17.11 years, 30 subjects were male (53.6%), and 26 were female (46.4%). Body mass index was obtained with an expected average of 23.17 ± 3.58 kg / m2. The correlation analysis results were obtained (r=0.772; p<0,001). The diagnostic test results got sensitivity 98% (CI95% 89.1%-99.9%), specificity 85.7% (CI95% 42.1%-99.6%), positive predictive value 98% (CI95% 89.1%-99.9%), negative predictive value 85.7% ( CI 95% 42.1%-99.6%), positive likely hood ratio 6.86 ( CI 95% 1.12-42.1), negative likely hood ratio 0.023 ( CI 95% 0.003-0.17), accuracy 88% ( CI 95% 76%-94.8%). This study concluded a strong positive correlation between lung ultrasound (LUS) and thorax X-ray in pneumonia patients in the intensive therapy room of Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah Hospital Denpasar.
