The Effectiveness of Telerehabilitation-Based Occupational Therapy Interventions on Sensory Processing and Functional Independence in the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Case Series
Authors: Güney Yılmaz Güleser , Önal Gözde
Published: December 2021

Abstract
Our study aimed to determine the effectiveness of telerehabilitation-based occupational therapy interventions on the level of sensory processing and functional independence during the pandemic period. Five children between the ages of 5 and 7 with sensory integration disorders were included in our study. A total of 16 sessions of telerehabilitation, 8 weeks, 2 sessions per week, were carried out via online channels (Zoom/Skype). Dunn Sensory Profile and WeeFIM Functional Independence Measure were applied before and after treatment. Data before and after the session were compared with SPSS 23.00. As a result, positive effects of telerehabilitation interventions on visual, vestibular, tactile and multi-sensory processing and functional activity level were determined in children (p<0.05). In conditions that negatively affect face-to-face rehabilitation, such as a pandemic, telerehabilitation interventions can be safe and alternative approaches. More telerehabilitation researchs are needed in the field of occupational therapy.

Authors: Nawaz Muhammad Farrakh , Rashid Muhammad Haroon U , Arif Muhammad Zubair , Sabir Muhammad Azeem , Farooq Taimoor Hassan , Gul Sadaf , Gautam Narayan Prasad
Published: December 2021

Background: Air and soil pollution are among the main concerns in urban areas worldwide, and dust and heavy metals are major contributors to environmental pollution. Lead (Pb) is a highly toxic heavy metal that badly affects human health as well as plant's survival and growth. Vegetation can play an important role in ameliorating the effects of these pollutants. Eucalyptus camaldulensis is well adapted and cultivated throughout a wide range of urban environments from temperate to tropical climates.
Methods: A 90 days experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of lead (Pb) and dust pollution on the growth performance of young E. camaldulensis plants. Four months old seedlings were treated with a factorial combinations of Pb (0,10 and 20 mg/l applied in irrigation) and dust levels (0,5 and 10 g applied on foliage).
Results: All morphological traits (root length, shoot length, stem diameter) and biomass (root and shoot, fresh and dry mass) of E. camaldulensis were significantly reduced when exposed to higher Pb and dust levels. The highest Pb treatments exhibited greater Pb accumulation in plant roots (23.54 ± 1.61 mg/kg), shoots (15.53 ± 1.98 mg/kg), and leaves (13.89 ± 1.49 mg/kg). Dust load on leaves was greater (72.78 ± 8.1 mg/cm2) for those treatments with higher dust and Pb additions compared to the control (16.11 ± 2.0 mg/cm2). Chlorophyll content was greater at the start of the experiment (68.78 ± 0.74 mg.g-1FW) and progressively decreased over time consistently  with the increase of Pb and dust levels applied.
Conclusions: The results of the experiment, suggest that E. camaldulensis could be successfully grown in minimum to moderate Pb and dust polluted urban environments.
Educational applications of metaverse: possibilities and limitations
Authors: Kye Bokyung , Han Nara , Kim Eunji , Park Yeonjeong , Jo Soyoung
Published: December 2021

This review aims to define the 4 types of the metaverse and to explain the potential and limitations of its educational applications. The metaverse roadmap categorizes the metaverse into 4 types: augmented reality, lifelogging, mirror world, and virtual reality. An example of the application of augmented reality in medical education would be an augmented reality T-shirt that allows students to examine the inside of the human body as an anatomy lab. Furthermore, a research team in a hospital in Seoul developed a spinal surgery platform that applied augmented reality technology. The potential of the metaverse as a new educational environment is suggested to be as follows: a space for new social communication; a higher degree of freedom to create and share; and the provision of new experiences and high immersion through virtualization. Some of its limitations may be weaker social connections and the possibility of privacy impingement; the commission of various crimes due to the virtual space and anonymity of the metaverse; and maladaptation to the real world for students whose identity has not been established. The metaverse is predicted to change our daily life and economy beyond the realm of games and entertainment. The metaverse has infinite potential as a new social communication space. The following future tasks are suggested for the educational use of the metaverse: first, teachers should carefully analyze how students understand the metaverse; second, teachers should design classes for students to solve problems or perform projects cooperatively and creatively; third, educational metaverse platforms should be developed that prevent misuse of student data.
Study the Role and Value of Antibodies to Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide in Early Rheumatoid Arthritis
Authors: Eshbaeva Ch. , Mamasaidov A. , Sakibaev K. , Imetova Zh. , Abdullaeva Zh.
Published: December 2021

Research relevance: prognosis of early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) course remains an unresolved problem, which dictates the need to identify new factors affecting the activity and course of the disease. Research objectives: it is assumed that the cause of immunopathological reactions in early RA is a dysregulation of the immune response resulting from an imbalance in the function of T- and B-lymphocytes, namely, the immunodeficiency of the T-lymphocyte system, which leads to uncontrolled synthesis of immunoglobulins by B-lymphocytes, in particular, organo- and tissue-specific antibodies. Research methods: this article analyzes occurrence frequency, pathogenetic and clinical significance of antibodies to cyclic citrullinated peptide (ACCP) in early rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Research results: in this work, in patients with early RA, the detection rate of ACCP was 68.8%, the frequency of detection of ACCP was higher than that of rheumatoid factor. Conclusions: in the examined patients with early RA, the presence of ACCP did not depend on gender and age but depended on the duration of the disease.

One of the main medical and social problems is disability, which causes economic losses, both for citizens and for the state. This article presents an analysis of the indicators of disability and disability due to diseases of the ear and mastoid process in Kyrgyzstan for the period 2014–2019. In the republic in general and in the Osh region in particular, there is a slight increase in persons with disabilities among the adult category of the population in all classes of diseases under medical supervision in health organizations from 2014 until 2019 and a slight decrease in 2019. With the regional distribution of the frequency of the first recognized by persons with disabilities by diseases of the ear and mastoid process among the adult population, the Osh region ranks third, among children under 18 years old - seventh in rank. In the republic, against the background of the trend of a stable decrease in the number of adults with disabilities for diseases of the ear and mastoid process registered, an increase was observed among children under 18 years old only in 2018. Against the background of a decrease in the frequency of primarily recognized persons with disabilities for diseases of the ear and mastoid process among the category of adult population of the republic, children under 18 years old showed an increase in 2017 and 2018. In the Osh region, among adults, an increase was revealed in 2015 and 2016, and among children under 18 years old, against the background of a stable indicator for four years, a sharp increase in the indicator was in 2018. There is a need for a unified and integrated approach to disability-specific rehabilitation, as well as for individual rehabilitation and habilitation programs for persons with disabilities, with close inter-agency cooperation.

The phenomenon of internet and social media addiction has attracted the attention of many people. We have conducted a research to examine whether or not the phenomenon of addiction to the internet and social media is a scientific reality. Then, we follow up this research. About 2014 respondents have been surveyed. Pearson’s Product Moment and Cronbach's Alpha tests were conducted to find out whether or not all the questions on this survey questionnaire were valid and reliable. The Chi Square hypothesis test was put forward Helmert’s theory around 1960; Helmert was a German Mathematical Physicist who mainly studied the field of Geodesy, even though Ernst Abbe and Irenne Jules Bienayme had already discovered this Chi Square distribution. The results of the internet addiction survey showed that 74.68% of respondents were not addicted and the rest were addicted mildly, moderately and severely. For the social media addiction survey, 79.94% of respondents were not addicted and the rest were addicted. Variables affecting addiction are age, occupation, and education. Internet and social media addiction is mostly experienced by Generation Y and Z, while Generation X has less addiction. The results of the measurement of Internet and social media addiction include scientific reality and attention should be paid to it and steps should be taken in the context of prevention and recovery for those who are addicted. Prevention and recovery for those who are addicted can be done by involving three major components: family, community, and state.
KEARIFAN LOKAL MASYARAKAT DESA ADAT SADE DALAM MENGHADAPI COVID-19
Authors: Kasih Nur Arning Tengara , Nurhasana Renny
Published: December 2021

Local wisdom of indigenous village communities can be interpreted as ideas, principles of life, behavior, rules or norms, taboos, and punishments derived from the experience of hereditary ancestors, one of which is to deal with life problems, namely disasters. COVID-19 is a disaster that causes difficult conditions to arise in society because it has an impact on all aspects of life. Therefore, people should fight against not only COVID-19 virus attack, but also food scarcity, and hunger. This study refers to the theory of local knowledge suggested by Geertz (1983) stating that local knowledge is born from experiences that have been passed in dealing with disasters and is knowledge owned by local communities and managed locally, in which there is a "cultural" system that aims to unite members within it. With the local wisdom that Sade Village has as a traditional village, the people have their way of dealing with COVID-19. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify the local wisdom of the Sade Village community in dealing with COVID-19. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method and the data is analyzed using triangulation. This study finds that local wisdom is used as a living strategy by optimally utilizing natural capital to deal with unexpected disasters. The tradition of togetherness, cooperation, and mutual assistance carried out by the people of Sade Village has made no one infected with the COVID-19 virus and can face food shortages, so this tradition needs to be followed by an example to deal with COVID-19. Another finding is the need to preserve agricultural work as a way of survival.

 ABSTRACT

Sago, as the identity of the indigenous people of the Tolaki tribe, besides having many values ​​and benefits also contains historical and philosophical values, so that the position of sago is very important to the life of the Tolaki ethnicity in Southeast Sulawesi. Philosophical values ​​contained in sago plants/trees are the values ​​of local wisdom related to its relationship with culture and the environment called cultural ecology. Local wisdom in cultural ecology for the indigenous people of the Tolaki tribe is always interconnected to the "kalosara" philosophy. Thus, the value of lakol sago wisdom in cultural ecology can be seen from the implementation of the "kalosara" philosophy itself. The survivability of the Tolaki people and their culture to date in the management and utilization of sago plants/trees is very likely due to this universal nature. Thus, the cultural ecology of the local community through its local wisdom regulates the pattern of community behavior. Community behavior patterns based on local wisdom tend to be more ecological than modern societies that do not use local wisdom in their lives. Local wisdom acts not only as a controller of individual human life, but it should also have thought of the survival of other humans in the area and also the sustainability of the surrounding natural environment as one of sustainable development goals.

This study aims to analyze at the income level of fishermen in Para I Village during the Covid-19 pandemic, and look at the marketing flow and marketing margins of Threadfin bream in Para I village. This research can be input to the Government in improving the welfare of fishermen amid Covid-19 pandemic. This research was conducted in Para I Village, Tatoareng District, Sangihe Islands Regency in March – May 2021. The methods used in this study were qualitative and quantitative ones. Data collection was carried out through direct observation and interviews with local fishermen, while maintaining health protocols. The income of threadfin bream fisherman per week in Para I Village ranges from IDR 500,000 - IDR 3,000,000 depending on weather condition. The marketing of threadfin bream and other demersal fish belongs to an efficient one. During the pandemic, fishermen's income decreased slightly because they could not bring their catch to be sold to Tahuna city or Dagho Fishing Port. However, there are also traders who come directly to buy fish on Para Island. Income decreased to IDR 500,000 per week during the pandemic.  However, this condition only lasted for 2-3 months, but then their income returned to the normal. The strategy taken by fishermen to deal with the income decline during the pandemic is to process their catch into salted fish that can be sold or stored as food reserves for their households. The government can help organize Financial Management Training and education about business opportunities in the fisheries sector.
Social-Emotional and Cognitive Risk Factors Connected With Recidivism in Sexual Offenders: An Explorative Study
Authors: D’URSO Giulio , PARRETTA Simone , CANCELLIERI Uberta Ganucci , PETRUCCELLI Irene
Published: December 2021

The literature suggests that sex offenders are more at risk of relapse and how much treatment pathways are needed to prevent it. Furthermore, the picture of predisposing factors connected to relapse appears complex. Therefore, the aim of this work is to verify the framework of social-cognitive risk factors connected to relapse in sex offenders. Participants in the study are 128 male sex offenders. The age range of the participants goes from 21 to 75 years (M = 41.74; SD = 13.45). Participants were given self-report questionnaires to evaluate cognitive distortions towards children and towards the right to sexuality, the Hanson Sex Attitude Questionnaire; cognitive distortions towards women, the Vindictive Rape Attitude Questionnaire; the mechanisms of moral disengagement, the Moral Disengagement Scale; furthermore, based on the grid of De Leo and colleagues, any adverse conditions (abuse, mistreatment, poverty, substance abuse, institutionalization) during childhood and/or adolescence were identified. Recidivism, on the other hand, was examined by asking participants if they had been convicted several times of the same crime and verifying this information through their files. The results showed that institutionalization, abuse, cognitive distortions towards women, and the mechanism of attributing blame to the victim can be relevant risk factors associated with relapse. The picture that emerged could suggest how the occurrence in a context of institutionalization during childhood could evidently represent an adverse condition during individual development that acts as a predisposing factor for the risk of relapse; in fact, it is possible to hypothesize that this condition may be linked to experiences of neglect. In the direction, the cognitive distortions towards women and the mechanism of attributing guilt to the victim represented the fulcrum of the deviant cognitive scheme capable of legitimizing the activation of violent and abusive behavior.
Participatory Action Research and Participatory Evaluation. Analysis of Two Methodological Approaches to Promote Youth Agency and Participation
Authors: NÚÑEZ Héctor , LLENA BERÑE Asun , FABRA FRES Núria , GÓMEZ SERRA Miquel
Published: December 2021

Participatory action research and participatory evaluation are two approaches used to involve people in public affairs, fostering the shared construction of knowledge. Recent decades have seen an increase in the involvement of agents in public activity, a trend that is also evident among young people. Experiences based on youth participatory action research and participatory youth evaluation are discussed in the literature. The main aim of this article is to define these two methodological approaches, and discuss: the role played by agents, the functions implemented, and the main stages. To this end, we have used a systematic documentary analysis of databases and specialist journals between 2010-2021. The results produce a map of internationally published articles regarding participatory action research and participatory youth evaluation. Secondly, a check-list is provided of the two methodological approaches to youth participation; this compiles the functions of the agents involved and the stages involved in both approaches. The article aims to be of use to public administrations and social entities with decision-making powers over actions that favour the involvement of young people in public affairs.
How Employed Students Lived the Covid-19 Lockdown in Romania
Authors: LUP Oana
Published: December 2021

This paper draws on the conceptual framework of “time poverty” to explore how employed students, a group much affected by “time poverty”, experienced changes in time allocation during the COVID-19 lockdown in Romania. Findings of a mixed-method study indicate that working and non-working students perceived and engaged differently with this sudden increase in discretionary time. Compared to non-working students, working students, welcomed this newly acquired time and saw it as an opportunity to engage in both education and self-growth activities. They also show higher levels of engagement with educational activities and an increased sense of satisfaction resulting from this engagement, as well as higher levels of wellbeing. This quick reorientation clearly reveals that time poverty is a barrier to education and personal well-being for working students.
Local Youth, Global Futures. Experiences, Aspirations and Citizenship of Young Cricketers of Migrant Origin in Italy
Authors: DELLA PUPPA Francesco , STORATO Giulia
Published: December 2021

This contribution discusses the relationship between sport and citizenship by exploring the citizenship paths described by young cricketers of Bangladeshi origin living in Venice (Italy). In particular, it focuses on the processes of misrecognition, enacted both by natives and their older countrymen, that these youths are suffering in their everyday life and that are rooted and reflected in their playing cricket in the neighbourhood. Starting from these premises, their aspired citizenship paths are described, revealing how the European passport, often an aspiration in itself, may become a passe-partout to react to misrecognition, allowing them to describe aspirations, reflected also in their sports practices, that are nationally, transnationally and globally deployed and that may aim, although through an individual claim, to restore the disruptions lived by the whole Bangladeshi diaspora. In this sense, within their distinctive aspired citizenship paths, the borders between distinction/integration with their older countrymen and native people are blurred, thus revealing their willingness to enjoy the same rights as their native peers as well as to overcome the differential inclusion suffered by their parents.
Digital Counseling and Guidance of Students – Real and Effective Support During the Pandemic Periods
Authors: SERBANESCU Laura Emilia , CIUCHI Oana Mariana
Published: December 2021

This paper brings to the readers' attention the theoretical dimensions and emphasizes the practical dimensions of professional counseling and career guidance - an activity complementary to the vocational training activities, but imperative in the harmonious insertion of young people on the labor market, as revealed by presenting a good practice model. Thus, the research part of the paper reveals a high level of satisfaction / self-knowledge / relationship in the social environment, obtained by students, as a result of their participation in a professional counseling and career guidance program, conducted online. This is an aspect that leads us to conclude that career counseling activities, regardless of how they are carried out (onside / online, group / individual), have a defining importance for the further professional evolution of students / young people.

Published: December 2021

The present study is focused on women well-being in migration. The aim was to investigate well-being of Ukrainian women migrants and to present the results of psychological work aimed at correcting the shortcomings of the emotional, social and behavioral aspects of the personality of women migrants with the help of special means of psychological influence. At the first stage an empirical study was conducted in Northern Italy during 2018-2019. The empirical sample consisted of 200 Ukrainian women - labor migrants aged 31 to 79 years who worked as caregivers. The Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF) was applied. The study of psychological well-being in the group of women migrant workers revealed mostly an average level (81.5%). At the same time, the study showed a low level of both emotional and social well-being (43.5% and 72%, respectively). At the second stage of the study psycho-correctional work was carried out with the labor migrant women and women displaced from Eastern Ukraine, where hostilities were taking place. 80 women were involved in the group psycho correction in Klaipeda city, Lithuania (June 2018). 120 women took part in individual counseling (on-line mode). Classes were held at the Kostyuk Institute of Psychology (Kyiv, Ukraine), once a week for 3 hours (2019-2020). The psycho-correctional work included the method of self-report, actualization of emotional states, the method of debriefing, as well as the art therapy. The use of psycho-correctional work showed positive effect on the emotional sphere of women, in particular, changes were noted in the balance of negative and positive emotions. Participants of the program improved their relationships with close people, as well as new goals and strategies to achieve them appeared.
Analysis of the Areas of Social Discrimination in the Romani de Huelva Community
Authors: BLANCO MIGUEL Pilar , BORREGO ALÉS Yolanda
Published: December 2021

Although in recent years a whole series of measures and programmes have been carried out with the aim of having an impact on the situations of discrimination and racism in which the Romani population is immersed, the results obtained allow us to surmise that, although there has been some progress, the situation has not entirely changed. A stereotyped view of the Romani population still exists in some parts of Spanish society, meaning that this community continues to be immersed in a profound process of social exclusion. Objectives of research are to demonstrate whether there are situations of discrimination in the Huelva Roma population, as well as to know the areas in which these acts of discrimination are carried out. A qualitative method was chosen. The technique used was an in-depth interview, to allow us to understand the perspective of the professionals who work with this group. In general, we have seen how situations of discrimination against the Romani population persist. These situations extend to different spheres of life, and whose factors respond to a multiplicity of causes. There is a need for significant, long-lasting change. This means it is necessary both to change the processes of social intervention and to involve the Romani community itself, as without their collaboration and legitimacy any intervention will lack future perspective.

Published: December 2021

An increase in the birth rates and a decrease in mortality is currently one of the priority lines of the development of society. From a purely technocratic standpoint, development of the population should be based on accurate knowledge of the number of consumers and the movement of needs, without which it is impossible to solve many social problems in general. The paper addresses a question of the need to orient the economy towards the development of a person and the population as a whole. The purpose and objectives of the study were to identify the dynamics of the population size, natural increase, the main trends in the growth of birth rate, the analysis of the causes of death, including infant mortality, the study of the marriage and divorce rates, migration. In the main part of the paper, the indicators of the population size in the republic over the past 17 years and in recent years are considered, including: the main trends in population growth, factors affecting the growth and decrease in mortality, causes of infant mortality, migration balance, marriage and divorce rates, both in the republic as a whole and region-wise. In conclusion, proposals were made to create favourable conditions for the demographic growth of population of the republic. Today, the solution of problems in the field of demographic policy is becoming increasingly important. It is necessary to accurately determine the priority paths of demographic growth, taking into account the specifics of the development of the population of Kazakhstan. In the future, this would facilitate the solution of demographic problems in terms of improving the demographic situation, which will contribute to the prosperity of the whole state.
The inequitable transition to the high school system. Case study: high school admission in Bucharest, Romania
Authors: Gheba Andreea
Published: December 2021

The main objective of this article is to analyze the interaction between the principle of proximity in the enrollment process to primary school and the high school admission mechanism from an educational equity perspective. Specifically, I conduct a case study in which I analyze how the type of school graduated by a student in Bucharest influences the type of high school at which she will be admitted, given the present system of allocation. As such, I am interested in identifying the extent to which the school where the student is enrolled (when parents, theoretically cannot choose, as it is dependent on the street where they reside) can represent an explanatory factor for the probability to be admitted at a particular high school (a stage when parents and students can manifest their preferences for a school/specialization).

The psychosociology of advertising. About visual ads. Pro Universitaria Publishing House, Bucharest, 2021. Septimiu Chelcea
Authors: Fitzek Sebastian
Published: December 2021

This publication follows nearly a decade of a second edition of the book entitled: „The Psychosociology of Advertising. About visual aids”. Today, when it comes to visual advertising, a revision of the text is required. The pace of knowledge in all fields is accelerating: new theories are constantly emerging, hypotheses are being put forward and a wealth of observational facts and results of scientific experiments is being disseminated through books and journals in print and online. It is nearly impossible for any single human being to understand the universe of knowledge. What we can expect is to get as clear a picture as possible of our area of research, but never a complete understanding of it.
Appreciative Case Management: Using the Social Constructionism in Social Intervention
Authors: Cojocaru Stefan
Published: December 2021

The article presents a research in the field of case management, experiencing two forms of it: problem-centered case and appreciative case management. For this, an experiment carried out on a six-month period, during which time we verified the results obtained by applying two different supervision models, problem-oriented supervision and appreciative supervision. Based on parallel process, the case management was changed. For this experiment ten cases were identified with various degrees of risk in child abandonment. When the appreciative case management was applied, the studied cases showed better results compared to the cases that were managed based on problem. In the case of services aimed at preventing child abandonment, it can be seen that the classical intervention focused on problem, lasting less than three months, has no positive effect on the clients’ situation. This practically means that in such circumstances, the financial, human and material resources used for an intervention that lasts less than three months are wasted without significant results. The appreciative case management produces tangible results after a shorter period of time by comparison to the classical intervention. This can be seen in the results obtained within the experiment, which are due to the use of the appreciative approach in intervention. Focusing on problems in social work and the attempt to solve them may sometimes not result in their resolution; the orientation towards identifying deficiencies and dysfunctionalities yields poorer results than the appreciative intervention and preserves the problem.
Belief and skepticism. Religious justifications for vaccine reluctance and climate skepticism
Authors: Vulpe Simona-Nicoleta
Published: December 2021

This theoretical article approaches Christian religious denominations within which skeptical arguments with regard to vaccination and climate change are developed. These two types of skeptical positioning towards science are rooted in postmodernity, and manifest themselves as similar phenomena. Religion, as a social institution, fulfills the need for meaning, community, and responds to uncertainties generated by science developments. By conducting a thematic synthesis of previous literature, I identify analytical themes that capture the theoretical approaches on religiosity as a justification resource for vaccine hesitancy and climate change denial. These two types of science skepticism are supported and encouraged by some religious actors, who provide discursive resources anchored in interpretations of religious dogma. The knowledge deficit model, which is largely used for information campaigns on vaccination and climate change, impedes the understanding of the role of socio-cultural resources, such as religiosity, in popularizing science skepticism, and distorts knowledge of this social phenomenon. Understanding the social construction of skeptical positions towards science, as well as the institutional role of religion, contributes to better public communication on scientific topics. Despite religious arguments for vaccine refusal and exploitation of the natural environment, religiosity can also sustain pro-scientific views. Crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the climate crisis have the potential to provide avenues for transcending the religion vs. science antagonism, by involving religious leaders in promoting scientific information and scientific products, such as vaccination.
