Siyasi ya da ekonomik iktidarlar bir başka ifade ile sistemin temel kural belirleyicileri, kendi gerçekliklerini çoğu zaman ideolojilerle yaşatabilmektedir. İdeolojik üretim gibi bir olgu bu nedenle hem ekonomi-politik koşullar hem de kültür temelli opsiyonel seçenekler dikkate alındığında üzerinde durulması gereken, önemli bir konu olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. İktidar ve güçlü ekonomik sistemler, kendi gerçekliklerini ideolojilerle yaşatabilmektedir. İdeolojilerin hangi kamusal alanda ne şekilde yeniden üretileceği ve de örgütleneceği ise tamamen iktidarların/rejimlerin tercihine bağlıdır. İdeolojik sunumlar ve üretimler sadece kamusal alan içerisinde gerçekleşmemektedir. Mekânın içerisinde örgütlenmeyi başaran her bir beden sunumu da bir ideolojik varyans temelinde kendi gerçeklik ortamını üretmektedir. Bu üretim şartları, çoğu zaman ideolojik emeğin inşası, sömürüsü ve ideolojilerin meta haline getirilmesi ile mümkündür. Meta haline getirilerek bir kültürel gerçeklik olarak kitlelere sunulan ideolojilerin paketlenmesinde çeşitli aygıtlar kullanılmaktadır. Bu aygıtlardan birisi de peyzaj yönelimli içerik üretimi ve kamusal mekân içerisinde ideolojik ölçekte örgütlenen kilit aktörlerin faal sunumlarıdır. Kentlerin mimari üslupları, söylemleri, estetik duruşları da ideolojik temelli pratikler olarak karşımıza çıkmakla birlikte bu eylemlerin öğrenilmiş ve kazanılmış olduğu da yadsınamaz bir gerçekliktir.

Published: December 2023

High school students who memorize Al-Qur'an face challenges maintaining their psychological well-being while memorizing Al-Qur'an and attending school activities. This study aims to determine the relationship between religiosity and social support with psychological well-being in high school students who memorize the Qur'an. The research subjects were 103 students (mean age 16.41) who were in the process of memorizing 30 chapters of the Qur’an at SMA IT Abu Bakar and SMA IT Baitussalam Yogyakarta. The sampling technique used was convenience sampling. Data collection was carried out using three scales: psychological well-being scale (α=0.904), religiosity scale (α=0.892), and social support scale (α=0.092), all of which were modified. The multiple regression data analysis revealed a significant relationship between religiosity and social support with the psychological well-being of high school students who memorize the Qur'an. The simultaneous effective contribution of two independent variables to psychological well-being is 52.6%. The partial contribution of religiosity is 26.9%, and the partial contribution of social support is 25.7%. These results can be a baseline for schools to develop support for memorizing the Qur'an in terms of facilities, training, and mentoring to increase students' religiosity and psychological well-being.

Authors: Haro-Oña Lidia , Chamorro-Chuquín María Marcia , Muñoz-Castillo Andrea , Moreno-Flores Diana
Published: December 2023

El presente artículo se enfoca en la importancia de la escuela en Ecuador como espacio, que supera el enfoque academicista, convirtiéndose en un entorno propicio para la acción y la aplicación práctica de los saberes adquiridos. En tanto, su propósito es analizar de manera crítico-reflexiva cómo la escuela en el Ecuador puede constituirse en puente de conexión entre los saberes académicos y la acción, fomentando el aprendizaje significativo y relevante en sus estudiantes. En primer lugar, se examina el enfoque tradicional, centrado en la transmisión de conocimientos teóricos con una visión limitada y libresca, que puede resultar poco motivadora y alejada de la realidad tras proponer una escuela que promueva la aplicación práctica de saberes. En suma, la investigación destaca la importancia de considerar  el quehacer educativo, como un nuevo espacio de saberes que promueva la acción y aplicación práctica de conocimientos, en sinergia con las familias y la comunidad en términos de fomentar un aprendizaje autónomo y motivador, que preparare integralmente a los estudiantes ecuatorianos para enfrentar los desafíos del mundo actual; de tales ideas conclusivas emergen un conjunto de proyecciones que se presentan en el cierre de este abordaje ontológico y epistemológico.

Purpose: In the present study, we determined the prevalence of obstructive meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), hyposecretory MGD, grossly normal MG, and hypersecretory MGD in patients with dry eye syndrome using lipid layer thickness (LLT) and MG dropout.Methods: Eighty-eight patients with dry eye syndrome were included in the study. Patients were categorized into four groups according to the LLT and weighted total meiboscore. The proportion of patients in each group was calculated. The age, sex, Ocular Surface Disease Index, LLT, Schirmer, tear film breakup time, cornea stain, weighted total meiboscore, expressibility, and quality of meibum were compared between the four groups.Results: Fifteen eyes (17.0%) had obstructive MGD, two eyes (2.3%) had hyposecretory MGD, 40 eyes (45.5%) had grossly normal MG, and 17 eyes (19.3%) had hypersecretory MGD. The obstructive MGD group was younger than the grossly normal MG group. In obstructive MGD, the ratio of men to women was higher than that of the other groups. However, Ocular Surface Disease Index, Schirmer, tear film breakup time, and corneal stain did not show statistically significant differences between the four groups. The meibum expressibility of the hyposecretoy MGD group was worse than those of the other groups. The meibum expressibility of the hyposecretoy MGD group was poor than those of the obstructive and hypersecretory MGD group.Conclusions: This categorization was expected to help determine the best treatment method for dry eye syndrome, according to the MG status.

Published: December 2023

Aksara Bali sering disebut sebagai the orthographic mysticism of Bali. Aksara Modre [suci] telah diyakini oleh masyarakat Bali, karena keutamaan [kottaman] aksaranya yang bertalian dengan bidang usadha [pengobatan tradisional Bali]. Sejumlah peneliti merasakan langsung kasiatnya, seperti para dukun [Bali: balian] hingga peneliti atau penekun lontar usadha asal luar negeri. Kottaman [keutamaan] aksara Modre menjadi sarana penting dalam prosesi pengobatan atau penyembuhan penyakit karena diyakini memiliki keutamaan gaib atau mistik. Ada sejumlah lontar yang berkaitan dengan kottaman aksara Bali, seperti: Aji Saraswati, usadha Tantri, Tutur Swara Wyanjana, dan yang lainnya. Kottaman aksara Bali sebagai sarana usadha Bali dapat digunakan sebagai penyelamat jiwa [pangraksaning jiwa], karena kekuatan energi yang ada dalam usadhi pranawa dapat menstanakan aksara bijaksara atau modre sebagai yantra lalu di-SAS [inisiasi obat] dengan kekuatan mantra dan yoga sang balian. Hal ini didukung oleh sejumlah lontar, seperti: Ruměksa ing Wěngi, Punggung Tiwas, Wisik Warah, dan yang lainnya. Konsep penyatuan antara pikiran suci sang balian dengan aksara Bali mahottama itu, sangat penting dilakukan ketika mengobati dengan usadhi pranawa. Hal ini identik dengan prosesi sabda tan mětu ketika menyatukan pikiran dengan sastra aji [aksara suci].
Praktik Hukum Bugis Abad XVIII dalam Persidangan Tellumpoccoe Versi Kodeks NBG 125

Artikel ini adalah tinjauan filologis terhadap teks kasus pendakwaan La Maddukkelleng yang dilakukan oleh aliansi tiga kerajaan Bugis yaitu Tellumpoccoe, yang disertai dengan penyajian edisi teks serta terjemahan berdasarkan naskah NBG 125. Persidangan dilakukan oleh hakim dan aristokrat Bone, Wajo, dan Soppeng mewakili kerajaannya masing-masing. Persidangan yang disajikan dalam naskah NBG 125 ini teks pendakwaan persidangan pada tahun 1763 M. Persidangan ini berbeda dengan pengadilan La Maddukelleng oleh Tellumpocco pada tahun 1736 karena, di antara alasan lain, La Maddukelleng sendiri tidak hadir dalam acara pada tahun 1763. Persidangan ini ini mendudukkan La Maddukkelleng sebagai pihak yang dituntut yang berlangsung sebanyak 7 kali sidang dalam masa dua bulan yaitu Mei sampai Juni 1763. Proses persidangan dicatat rapih beserta percakapan per percakapan dari tiga delegasi. Utusan Bone dan Soppeng dalam persidangan itu, menuntut La Maddukkelleng sebagai tokoh pengacau yang telah melakukan tindakan salah yang merusak tatanan perdamaian wilayah Tellumpoccoe, sementara pihak Wajo merasa sangat sulit untuk mengutuk mantan Arung Matoa mereka dan secara konsisten berargumen untuk tidak menuduhya. Naskah NBG 125 menyajikan teks lengkap peristiwa persidangan tersebut dengan akhir persidangan tidak membuahkan putusan akhir oleh mahkamah Tellumpoccoe. Terlepas dari semua malapetaka yang ditimbulkan La Maddukelleng, ia masih menjadi tokoh yang sangat menonjol dalam historiografi Wajo karena pernah menjabat sebagai Arung Matoa dan membebaskan Wajo dari Bone. Bahkan oleh orang Wajo, pada tahun 1998, telah mengajukan La Maddukkelleng sebagai sosok pahlawan. Pengajuan itu kemudian ditetapkan oleh negara sebagai Pahlawan Nasional yang ke-105.
Tax instruments for stimulating investments in Ukraine and the world

Published: December 2023

Introduction. The widespread use of investment tax incentives to attract private investment around the world, and especially in developing countries in the absence of sufficiently convincing evidence of their impact on the volume of investment is an important policy issue for national governments and the international community. Problem Statement. Despite the lack of convincing evidence of the effectiveness of investment tax incentives, Ukraine, like most other countries, does not abandon the practice of using them, which necessitates exploring ways (primarily improving the design features of the incentives and the reasons for the negative consequences of the use of similar incentives in the past) to reduce the risks of their introduction. The purpose of the article is to analyze investment stimulation tools in Ukraine, to determine the possible risks of their application, based on the results of theoretical research and the practice of using similar incentives in EU countries. The methods of comparative analysis, abstract logic, analogies and theoretical generalization are used. Results. Constructive elements of tax and non-tax investment incentives for industrial parks, large investment projects and certain types of economic activity introduced in Ukraine are characterized. A comparative analysis of them with similar incentives in the EU countries was carried out. The author draws conclusions about the risks of their use in Ukraine, which are caused by: rejection of expenditure-based investment tax incentives, such as investment tax allowance or investment tax credit, which are considered to be better than income-based incentives; lack of practice in Ukraine of assessing the effectiveness of the use of investment tax incentives for SEZs and TPRs that were applied in the past, one of the types of which is industrial parks; the use of tax holidays in most preferential regimes introduced in Ukraine – a temporary exemption from corporate income tax, which is considered a particularly poorly thought-out form of investment incentives; reservations about tax incentives for large investment projects, which can lead to abuses and distortions; uncertainty about the possibility of state financial support for investment projects in the period of post-war economic recovery.

Published: December 2023

Chili (Capsicum annum L.) is a widely grown vegetable in tropical and subtropical areas that is attacked by a diverse range of bacterial and fungal pathogens, causing severe yield and quality losses. Alternaria leaf spot, caused by Alternaria alternata, is the major fungal disease of chili that deteriorates the vitality of the crop. The objective of the current research is to identify the most effective nutrient combination and fungicide against Alternaria leaf spot disease and to evaluate resistant sources. The current research was conducted using six varieties (CH-121, Chilli-900 F1, Red Wing, SAYBAN, AAHP-1, and Diamond CH-121) collected from Ayub Agricultural Research Institute, Faisalabad, Pakistan. Seeds were sown in the Plant Pathology field area, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, to screen against leaf spot disease. The effect of different fungicides and nutrients to overcome chili leaf spot was studied, and three treatment combinations were prepared: (ZnSO4 (ZS) + MnSO4 (MS) + boric acid (BA) + Topsin M), (ZS + MS + BA + Mancozeb), and (ZS + MS + BA + Vitavax). Among these, the combination of (ZS + MS + BA + Vitavax) was the most effective against leaf spot disease. Minimum disease severity was observed with ZS + MS + BA + Vitavax in CH-121 (15.00), while maximum disease severity was observed with the control in Red Wing (93.67). Environmental data were collected and statistically analyzed. There was a significant (p 0.05) but positive correlation between maximum temperature, minimum temperature, wind speed, rainfall, and disease severity. There was a negative correlation between relative humidity and disease severity. In conclusion, micronutrients were found to enhance Alternaria leaf spot tolerance in chili plants, providing a cost-effective and easily obtainable solution. The combined use of nutrients and fungicide is effective in preventing the development of resistance in pathogens against fungicides.
Eco-Friendly Approaches against Chili Thrips Scirtothrips dorsalis Hood (Thysanoptera: Thripidae)

Published: December 2023

Chili (Capsicum annuum L.) is a crucially economically viable vegetable and spice crop cultivated worldwide. Numerous issues impact chili production, both vertebrate and non-vertebrate, leading to significant reductions in both quantity and quality. The chili thrips, Scirtothrips dorsalis, poses a serious threat to chili, causing approximately 50-70% yield loss in every season. In Pakistan, farmers frequently resort to using synthetic pesticides to control the pest population. Unfortunately, the injudicious use of pesticides results in environmental, soil, and water pollution, leading to hazards for humans, animals, and wildlife. This study employed a combination of eco-friendly tactics to suppress the thrips population. The lowest thrips population was observed in plots where maize was planted as a barrier for chili, followed by marigold cultivated as a trap. Maize exhibited a remarkable disruptive effect against the thrips population, acting as a barrier to restrict their entrance into the main crop. The combined release of the biocontrol agents Chrysoperla carnea and Coccinella septempunctata proved to be more effective against the thrips population than plots with a single bio-control agent. Among the natural remedies, neem seed kernel powder was the most effective in reducing the thrips population, followed by neem leaves extract and neem oil. Notably, neem oil showed the lowest reduction percentage of thrips compared to neem seed kernel powder and neem leaves extract. The cost/benefit ratio of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plots compared to conventional plots revealed that the IPM plot had a lower estimated production cost (Rs. 19,277) and yielded 547 kg more than the conventional plot. Similarly, a higher cost/benefit ratio (3:13) was recorded in the IPM plot than in the conventional plot (1:36). IPM, through eco-friendly measures, proves to be an efficient approach to suppress S. dorsalis in chili crop.
Dust Storms as Global Disseminators of Plant Pathogens
Authors: Afzal Amir , Saeed Muhammad
Published: December 2023

This contemporary mycological inquiry investigates into the escalating threat to global food security posed by the dispersal of plant pathogens through airborne dust, exemplified by the simulation of a colossal dust storm, named “Godzilla”. Employing advanced computational models, researchers trace the route of Fusarium oxysporum spores from North Africa across the Atlantic, settling in the Caribbean and southeastern United States. The study estimates the conveyance of over 13,000 viable spores, raising concerns about their impact on agricultural regions, particularly southeastern Louisiana, Mexico, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and Cuba. While ultraviolet radiation typically neutralizes airborne spores within three days, the focus shifts to spore viability upon landing in vulnerable agricultural zones. Proximity to the dust source in intercontinental regions intensifies the risk, emphasizing the need to understand fungal disease dynamics and identify susceptible agricultural areas. Global prevalence of F. oxysporum and its capacity to infect over 100 crops highlight the potential for significant crop losses and economic consequences. The research underscores the urgency of comprehending disease dissemination dynamics and protecting global food security, emphasizing regions like sub-Saharan Africa as critical sources of viable spores. The study’s preliminary nature prompts a future focus on observational data acquisition, including comprehensive dust storm mapping and genetic comparisons of F. oxysporum, to validate the model’s findings. This research work calls for proactive measures to address the escalating threat of disease, laying the ground work for forthcoming mycological endeavors

A acessibilidade nos espaços públicos é um direito fundamental para todos os indivíduos, principalmente para as pessoas com deficiência ou mobilidade reduzida. No entanto, ainda existem muitos locais que não atendem aos critérios mínimos de acessibilidade exigidos por normas e leis que defendem a inclusão social. Portanto, o objetivo deste artigo é analisar as condições de acessibilidade de um estádio de futebol, localizado no Sul de Minas Gerais. Para isso, primeiramente foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica para embasar teoricamente o estudo e fornecer um panorama abrangente sobre o tema. Realizou-se uma visita técnica juntamente com o registro fotográfico e a aplicação de um questionário para as pessoas que frequentam o estádio, a fim de avaliar as condições de acessibilidade do local. A análise dos dados coletados permitiu constatar que o espaço carece de acessibilidade, principalmente para pessoas com deficiência visual, pois o local não dispõe de pisos táteis que auxiliam essas pessoas no deslocamento.
Study on the impact of debris flow from tailings dam failure on shale gas well station

Published: December 2023

The shale gas well station plays a critical role in the extraction of shale gas, and its safety status exerts significant influence not only on shale gas production but also on the ecological balance of the surrounding environment. To investigate the response characteristics of the shale gas well station under the impact of tailings dam failure debris flow, a comprehensive analysis was conducted using a combination of physical modeling and numerical simulation. The analysis focused on the dynamic inundation process and the impact siltation law caused by the downstream flow of tailings dam failure debris at the shale gas well station. The depth of inundation and the extent of siltation damage were employed as key parameters for characterization. Experimental findings revealed that the downstream mudflow inundation process could be divided into three distinct stages: rapid increase (0–60 s), steady increase (60–106 s), and slow advance (106–250 s). The pattern of mudflow siltation height variation at the well station exhibited an initial rise, followed by a subsequent decline and eventual stabilization. The highest siltation volumes recorded at measurement points A to D were 4.4, 4, 5.2, and 6 m, respectively. Additionally, by employing computational fluid dynamics, numerical calculations were performed under unprotected conditions, with the error between the calculated conclusions and the test results not exceeding 15%. Furthermore, the blocking effect of 8 and 16 m debris flow blocking dam on the debris flow was thoroughly investigated. The study demonstrated that the check dam with a height of 16 m yielded the most effective blockage, resulting in the highest sediment siltation height of 0.4 m. The research results provide some reference for the prevention and control of debris flow disasters.

Conducting quantitative research on the microstructure of soft clay can reveal the essence of its soil mechanical behavior, which is of important practical significance for geological disaster risk assessment and prevention. To quantitatively investigate the microscopic properties of natural structured clay, soft clay soils from various sedimentary environments in the Hangzhou Estuarine Bay area were chosen as the research subject in this study. Subsequently, a comprehensive investigation into the microstructure of clay was conducted, involving X-ray phase analysis and SEM imaging analysis. The results revealed the following: (1) In comparison to the deep clay deposited in fluvial-lacustrine environments, the shallow mucky clay in marine sediments had a higher clay mineral content, accounting for 48%. Illite makes up the majority of it, with minor levels of kaolinite and montmorillonite being present. (2) The shallow mucky clay in the Hangzhou Estuarine Bay area had a typical agglomerate-flocculated structure. In contrast, the deeper clay showed a flocculated structure with less uniform particle sizes, strong stacking randomness, poor directional alignment of soil pores, and tends to form arrangements where edges are adjacent to faces or edges are adjacent to other edges. (3) Compared to the deep clay deposited in fluvial-lacustrine environments, the marine-deposited shallow mucky clay displayed orderly pore arrangements, strong directional alignment, significant pore shape variability, and minimal pore size changes between adjacent pores. The microstructure of soil plays a crucial role in determining the physical, mechanical, and other engineering properties of the soil. This study provides insightful information about the relationship between clay microstructure and geotechnical characteristics in Hangzhou and the surrounding areas.

In this paper, we investigate the features of spatiotemporal change in fractional vegetation cover (FVC) throughout the Yellow River Basin between 2000 and 2022 and identify the driving factors behind the change using the MODIS normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) as a data source. On that basis, our research involves trend analysis and the center migration model to examine the correlation between vegetation cover changes and various factors, such as climates, topographies, soils, and human activities. In this way, we aim to uncover how such correlation contributed to the reduction in suspended sediment concentration (SSC) in surface runoff. Results suggest that (1) the FVC of the Yellow River Basin has been trending upward over the past 23 years, and vegetation growth has been remarkably improved; (2) the center of medium-high and denser vegetation cover has progressively migrated from the upper reaches of the Yellow River down to its middle-lower segments; (3) soil erosion control measures are critical to improve vegetation cover, given the great impact of the shifting natural elements on vegetation cover changes on a local basis; (4) an improvement in vegetation cover leads to considerable positive change in the runoff and SSC of the Yellow River mainstem. This study has yielded noteworthy contributions in correctly understanding the current vegetation changes and related factors in the Yellow River Basin. Furthermore, it has laid the groundwork for further research in improving the accuracy of basic data and deepening the correlation between factors.

Background

Patient satisfaction is a crucial measure of healthcare quality, as dissatisfied patients are more likely to miss appointments, disregard treatment plans, and leave hospitals, leading to poor treatment outcomes. Therefore, the study aimed to compare levels of satisfaction with health services and associated factors among insured and uninsured patients in Deder General Hospital, eastern Ethiopia.

Methods

A comparative cross-sectional study with 532 participants was conducted from December 1–30, 2021. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire, analyzed using SPSS, and predictors assessed using a multivariate logistic regression model. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05.

Results

Overall, patient satisfaction with health services was 65.6% (95% CI: 61.5–69.5), and the level of patient satisfaction with health services among insured and noninsured patients was 68.8% (95% CI: 62.8–74.4) and 62.4% (95% CI: 56.8–68.0), respectively. In the final model of multivariable analysis, factors such as educational status of secondary school (AOR = 4.90; 95% CI: 2.05–11.76), and a higher level (AOR = 3.08; 95% CI: 1.05–9.03), getting the entire prescribed drugs (AOR = 3.49; 95% CI: 1.43–8.54), getting some of the ordered drugs (AOR = 3.34; 95% CI: 1.61–6.94), paying less than 100 Ethiopian birrs (AOR = 4.85; 1.35–17.40) were significantly associated with patient satisfaction among insured patients. Whereas getting the entire and some prescribed drugs were (AOR = 6.28; 95% CI: 3.26–12.05), and (AOR = 3.40; 95% CI: 1.70–6.78) times more likely to be satisfied with the service among noninsured patients as compared to their counterparts, respectively.

Conclusion

The study found that about six in 10 patients in the study area were satisfied with healthcare services, with insurance patients reporting higher satisfaction. Factors such as receiving prescribed drugs, paying less than 100 Ethiopian birr, having a secondary school education, and having a higher education were associated with satisfaction.

Objectives

This study used machine learning algorithms to identify important variables and predict postinduction hypotension (PIH) in patients undergoing colorectal tumor resection surgery.

Methods

Data from 318 patients who underwent colorectal tumor resection under general anesthesia were analyzed. The training and test sets are divided based on the timeline. The Boruta algorithm was used to screen relevant basic characteristic variables and establish a model for the training set. Four models, regression tree, K-nearest neighbor, neural network, and random forest (RF), were built using repeated cross-validation and hyperparameter optimization. The best model was selected, and a sorting chart of the feature variables, a univariate partial dependency profile, and a breakdown profile were drawn. R2, mean absolute error (MAE), mean squared error (MSE), and root MSE (RMSE) were used to plot regression fitting curves for the training and test sets.

Results

The basic feature variables associated with the Boruta screening were age, sex, body mass index, L3 skeletal muscle index, and HUAC. In the optimal RF model, R2 was 0.7708 and 0.7591, MAE was 0.0483 and 0.0408, MSE was 0.0038 and 0.0028, and RMSE was 0.0623 and 0.0534 for the training and test sets, respectively.

Conclusion

A high-performance algorithm was established and validated to demonstrate the degree of change in blood pressure after induction to control important characteristic variables and reduce PIH occurrence.

Gene expression analysis is widely used to unravel molecular regulatory mechanisms and identify key genes in plants. Appropriate reference gene is an important prerequisite to ensure the accuracy and reliability of qPCR analysis results. Water dropwort is a plant of the Oenanthe genus in the Apiaceae family, which has high economic benefits. However, the underlying molecular regulatory mechanisms in the growth and development of water dropwort have not been fully understood and the appropriate reference genes in different developmental stages of water dropwort not yet reported. In this study, 10 candidate reference genes (ACTIN, PP2A, SAND, EF-1α, GAPDH, UBQ, MIP, TBP, RPS-18, eIF-4α) were identified and cloned from Oenanthe javanica. The qPCR primers of candidate reference genes were designed and verified. Four statistical algorithms, geNorm, NormFinder, BestKeeper and RefFinder were used to evaluate the expression stability of 10 candidate reference genes in different developmental stages of water dropwort. The results showed that TBP and UBQ were the most stable genes in different developmental stages of water dropwort, while GAPDH was the most unstable gene. The normalization of EXP1 genes at different developmental stages further confirmed the reliability of internal reference genes. The results of this study provide a theoretical basis for selecting appropriate internal reference genes in different developmental stages of water dropwort. This study also provides technical support and reliable basis for the expression analysis of key genes in different developmental stages of water dropwort.
Gender differences in social networks and physical and mental health: are social relationships more health protective in women than in men?
Authors: Shin Huiyoung , Park Chaerim
Published: December 2023

Background

Individuals’ relationships are characterized by multidimensional aspects and the unique make-up of different features is more or less supportive of physical and mental health. The current study derived social network types based on an extended set of indicators reflecting the structure, function, and quality of relationships, then examined their associations with diverse physical and mental health outcomes separately for men and women.

Methods

Using samples of 620 South Korean adults (Mage = 53.52), Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) was used to uncover distinct social network types, and multiple regression analyses were conducted to examine the link between network types and health outcomes.

Results

LPA analysis derived four network types: diversified, family-(un)supported, friend- based, and restricted. The prevalence and configuration of network types differed between men and women: the family-unsupported type was more prevalent in women than in men whereas the restricted type was more prevalent in men than in women. An individual’s network type membership was significantly associated with one’s physical and mental health and the positive effects of an optimal network type and the negative effects of a non-optimal network type on mental health were much greater for women than they were for men.

Discussion

The findings suggest that women benefit more from supportive networks but that they are also more vulnerable to a lack of supportive (or the presence of conflict-filled) relationships, and highlight that having diversified and greater quality relationships, and avoiding conflicts are critical for women to have enhanced health.
Clinical pharmacist interventions in the transition of care in a mental health hospital: case reports focused on the medication reconciliation process
Authors: Stuhec Matej , Batinic Borjanka
Published: December 2023

The transition of care represents a key point in the hospital admission and discharge process. A comprehensive transition could lead to fewer medication-related problems. The hospital clinical pharmacist could help in the transition of care process with a comprehensive medication reconciliation process, which has been poorly described in mental health hospitals. This study presents two clinical cases in which hospital clinical pharmacists identified omitted medications and other medication-related issues, including medication errors, during the transition of care in a mental health hospital. These positive experiences may encourage other countries to establish similar collaborations with hospital clinical pharmacists in mental health hospitals.
