Authors: Gupta Sohan Lal , Khandelwal Vikram , Katria Vinod , Sharma Dr. Arpita , Pandey Anjali
Published: December 2024

Diabetes causes a large number of deaths each year and a large number of people living with the disease do not realize their health condition early enough. In this study, we propose a data mining based model for early diagnosis and prediction of diabetes using the UCI database. Although K-means is simple and can be used for a wide variety of data types, it is quite sensitive to initial positions of cluster centers which determine the final cluster result, which either provides a sufficient and efficiently clustered dataset for the logistic regression model, or gives a lesser amount of data as a result of incorrect clustering of the original dataset, thereby limiting the performance of the logistic regression model. Our findings offer insights into the comparative strengths and weaknesses of each method, shedding light on their potential applications in diabetes diagnosis and risk assessment. A further experiment with a new dataset showed the applicability of our model for the predication of diabetes.

Published: December 2024

The article is dedicated to examining the relationship between mental health and academic performance in students. The research utilizes the Diagnostic Self-Assessment Methodology for Psychological Conditions (based on H. Eysenck) and the Diagnostic Methodology for Achievement Motivation in Personality (by T. Ehlers). The study was conducted on 130 undergraduate students. The results show that there is a strong correlation between students' mental health and their levels of anxiety, frustration, rigidity and learning motivation, but no significant relationship with academic performance.However, based on the “Diagnostic Methodology for Personality in Achievement Motivation” survey (by T. Ehlers) conducted by the author, a strong correlation was identified between students' motivation for learning and their mental health. (r=0.864, p=0.005). It should also be noted that there is a significant correlation between gender differences among students, with the levels of anxiety, frustration, aggression and rigidity ( these are the factors affecting mental health) and their academic success (p=0.01; for female students, r=0.206*) produces a weak correlation. , r=0.208*, r=0.168**, r=0.188* and for male students, r=-0.206*, r=-0.208*, r=-0.168**, r=-0.188*). According to the results, the mental health of male students has a positive correlation ((p<0.05) (r=0.373*, r=0.336*)) with their academic performance, while for female students there is a negative correlation ((p<0.05) (r=-0.373*, r=-0.336*)). This suggests that as male students' mental health improves, their academic success rates (aggression (r=-0.206*), frustration (r=-0.208*), anxiety (r=-0.168*) and rigidity levels increase. (r=-0.188*) shows weak negative correlation). In contrast, among female students, academic success was found to be associated with slightly higher levels of aggression (r=0.206*), anxiety (r=0.208*), frustration (r=0.168*) and rigidity (r=0.188*). ).
SPIRITUAL HYBRIDITY IN ANA CASTILLO'S FEMALE CHARACTERS: A STUDY OF SO FAR FROM GOD AND THE MIXQUIAHUALA LETTERS
Authors: Mathew Dr Minu Mary , Baby Dr Neethu Tessa
Published: December 2024

This paper explores the spiritual hybridity in Ana Castillo's novels "So Far From God" and "The Mixquiahuala Letters," focusing on the unique spiritual journeys of Mexican-American women. Castillo's storytelling delves into the complexities of spiritual identities, blending Catholicism with indigenous beliefs, curanderismo, and feminist ideologies. The paper examines how Castillo's female characters navigate the intersection of these diverse belief systems, challenging the traditional patriarchal structures within the Chicano community and the Catholic Church. Highlighting the criticism of the Catholic Church by Chicana activists, the paper discusses how Castillo's characters retain their Catholic faith while becoming politically conscious feminists. This synthesis challenges the binary view of being either a feminist or a Catholic, emphasizing the coexistence of feminist perspectives with traditional beliefs. In "So Far From God," Castillo portrays characters like Sofi, Esperanza, and Caridad, who embody spiritual syncretism as resistance, empowerment, and healing. This blend of traditions offers resilience against societal norms and historical wounds. Similarly, "The Mixquiahuala Letters" reveals the intertwined nature of feminism and spirituality through the correspondence between Teresa and Alicia, where their feminist spirituality acts as both a personal empowerment tool and a means of political resistance. The paper concludes that Castillo's portrayal of spiritual hybridity in these novels is central to the self-discovery, assertion, and communal union of her female characters. Their spirituality, a mix of endurance, survival, and empowerment, challenges stereotypes and patriarchal assumptions in Chicano communities. Castillo's narrative underscores the importance of spiritual hybridity in cultural and political resistance, offering a transformative perspective on the lives and struggles of Mexican-American women.

One of the issues that is thought to occur frequently following surgery that uses succinylcholine as part of the anaesthesia protocol is post-operative myalgia. The patient may experience a somewhat unsatisfactory outcome following surgery as a result of this complication. In the meantime, studies on the incidence and avoidance of post-operative myalgia following succinylcholine administration were conducted. There was a dearth of information and research on this topic in Iraq. Our study's goal is to investigate the connection between weight and age and postoperative myalgia after succinylcholine administration.In the months of September and October of 2022, a sample of patients from two hospitals in the city of Karbala was collected. After collecting data on myalgia scores 6-, 12-, and 24-hours following surgery, the data was analysed, and the significant value was determined to be p<0.05. In our population, female patients made up the largest percentage (approximately 65.5%), while male patients made up only 34.5% of the sample. Less than 1% of patients reported being pain-free six hours after the procedure, whereas almost all patients had myalgia. The percentage of patients who had mild myalgia was 47.4%, or about half. Furthermore, moderate pain was reported by 43.3% of them. Just 8.2% of patients reported being in excruciating pain. Age and muscle pain have an inverse relationship, according to all time interval pain assessment (P<0.05). We found no evidence of a significant relationship between the patient's weight category increasing and muscle pain after six, twelve, or twenty-four hours.Lastly, we have determined that post-operative myalgia caused by succinylcholine is common in the Iraqi population and affects most patients across a range of age groups. Generally speaking, the severity of muscle pain decreases with age. Neither the patient's weight nor the amount of succinylcholine had an impact on the outcome of myalgia..

This dissertation research aims to analyze and answer Indonesia's foreign policy towards Egypt which has been running since the time of President Soekarno to President Joko Widodo. During the time of President Soekarno, Indonesia's foreign policy towards Egypt was in a very strong or ideal position. This turns out to be different from the time of President Soeharto, who was in quite a worrying position. Efforts to strengthen Indonesia's foreign policy towards Egypt were carried out through President Soeharto's state visit to Egypt as carried out by President Soekarno. State visits to Egypt became a continuing tradition for Indonesian foreign policy during the period of Presidents Abdurrahman Wahid, Megawati and Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. The transition of Indonesian leadership from SBY to Jokowi apparently had an influence on Indonesia's foreign policy tradition towards Egypt, which was originally structured to change.President Jokowi's absence from visiting Egypt on several occasions has increasingly become a big question mark and has become an unprecedented problem in Indonesia's foreign policy. This research answers why President Joko Widodo's foreign policy in relation to Egypt looks different from his predecessor, as well as what considerations are the background to President Jokowi's policy of not visiting Egypt. The type of research is qualitative research.The research method uses case studies with the primary data obtained through interviews and secondary data obtained through documentation data collection techniques and literature study. The theoretical approach used is foreign policy, psychological concepts in foreign policy making. This research finds that Indonesia's foreign policy towards Egypt during President Jokowi's leadership has undergone changes from the traditions of previous presidents. This change was marked by the absence of President Jokowi's visit to Egypt and Indonesia's current foreign policy priorities which prioritize economic cooperation and investment with China, the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, the factors that influenced President Jokowi's considerations in his policy of not visiting Egypt were due to the domestic situation in Egypt after the Arab Spring which had not fully improved, President Jokowi's individual background and President Jokowi's cognitive (psychological) considerations regarding the information he believed.
