Sensorimotor predictions shape reported conscious visual experience in a breaking Continuous Flash Suppression task
Authors: Skora Lina , Seth Anil , Scott Ryan Bradley
Published: July 2020

Accounts of predictive processing propose that conscious experience is influenced not only by passive predictions about the world, but also by predictions encompassing how the world changes in relation to our actions – that is, on predictions about sensorimotor contingencies. We tested whether valid sensorimotor predictions, in particular learned associations between stimuli and actions, shape reports about conscious visual experience. Two experiments used instrumental conditioning to build sensorimotor predictions linking different stimuli with distinct actions. Conditioning was followed by a breaking continuous flash suppression (b-CFS) task, measuring the speed of reported breakthrough for different pairings between the stimuli and prepared actions, comparing those congruent and incongruent with the trained sensorimotor predictions. In Experiment 1, counterbalancing of the response actions within the b-CFS task was achieved by repeating the same action within each block but having them differ across the two blocks. Experiment 2 sought to increase the predictive salience of the actions by avoiding the repetition within blocks. In Experiment 1, breakthrough times were numerically shorter for congruent than incongruent pairings, but Bayesian analysis supported the null hypothesis of no influence from the sensorimotor predictions. In Experiment 2, reported conscious perception was significantly faster for congruent than for incongruent pairings. A meta-analytic Bayes factor combining the two experiments confirmed this effect. Altogether, we provide evidence for a key implication of the action-oriented predictive processing approach to conscious perception, namely that sensorimotor predictions shape our conscious experience of the world.

In six vignette-based experiments, we assessed people’s moral reactions toward various cognition-enhancing brain implants, including their overall approval and perceived fairness, as well as the dehumanization of brain-implanted agents. Across the domains of memory (Studies 1-4, 6), general intelligence (Study 5A), and emotional stability (Study 5B), people in general approved of alleviating ailments, and even of attaining optimal human performance, but expressed greater opposition toward superhuman levels of enhancement. Further analyses of individual differences indicated that the tendency to condemn transhumanist technologies, such as brain implants, was linked to sexual disgust sensitivity and the binding moral foundations – two characteristic correlates of a conservative worldview. In turn, exposure to science fiction was tied to greater approval of brain implants. We also examined potential idiosyncrasies associated with our stimulus materials and did not find reliable effects of any secondary factors on moral attitudes. Taken together, our studies reveal certain moral boundaries to neurotechnological enhancement, strong among those with conservative affective and moral dispositions but relaxed among those familiar with science fiction themes.
Appealing to economic (vs. health) risk may be more effective to fight COVID-19: A multilevel analysis in 24 countries
Authors: Nisa Claudia F , Belanger Jocelyn , Schumpe Birga Mareen , Sasin Edyta , team PsyCorona , Leander Pontus
Published: July 2020

This paper examines whether compliance with COVID-19 mitigation measures is motivated by wanting to save lives or save the economy (or both), and which implications this carries to fight the pandemic. National representative samples were collected from 24 countries (N=25,435). The main predictors were (i) perceived risk to contract coronavirus, (ii) perceived risk to suffer economic losses due to coronavirus, and (iii) their interaction effect. Individual and country-level variables were added as covariates in multilevel regression models. We examined compliance with various preventive health behaviors and support for strict containment policies. Results show that perceived economic risk consistently predicted mitigation behavior and policy support - and its effects were positive. Perceived health risk had mixed effects. Only two significant interactions between health and economic risk were identified – both positive. These results do not corroborate the view that people engage in health versus economy zero-sum thinking in the fight against COVID-19.
Examining the Effects of Facial Expression and Image Presentation on Mood
Authors: Omary Adam Radwan , Maeloa Madeline
Published: July 2020

Existing research shows that “pleasant” or “unpleasant” moods can be primed by presenting participants with “pleasant” or “unpleasant” images (Avero & Calvo, 2006), and that stronger priming effects are induced by images as opposed to text (Powell et al., 2015). However, no previous research shows whether or not mood induction effects may differ based on image presentation format. Therefore, the present work aimed to test this hypothesis, by presenting participants (N = 145) with either standalone or grouped images, displaying either positive or negative facial expressions. We found that both facial expression and image presentation had a significant effect on participants’ average ratings of the emotional valence of the images, including a significant interaction effect. However, only facial expression had a significant effect on mood change. We found a slight correlation (r = .298) between image rating and mood change, suggesting that image presentation may have a slight effect on mood change that was unable to be observed in this small-scale study.

Published: July 2020

Background: In a longitudinal design, the present study examined: (a) the nature of attachment patterns and re- flective functioning (RF) in individuals at ultra-high risk for psychosis (UHR); (b) the association between RF and subclinical psychotic symtoms; and (c) the psychosis-predictive value of attachment patterns, RF, and the inter- action between these factors.Method: The sample comprised 57 UHR subjects and 53 clinical controls (non-UHR). UHR subjects were followed over a mean period of 14 months (SD = 2.7; range 11–19), during which time 11.5% developed psychosis. At- tachment patterns and RF were measured. Hierarchical logistic regression was used to examine the predictive value of variables in the transition to psychosis.Results: At baseline, significant differences were found between groups in secure attachment patterns and RF. RF was negatively associated with the attenuated psychotic symptoms described by the Unusual Thought Content/ Delusional Ideas, Suspiciousness/Persecutory Ideas, and Disorganized Communication subscales. Moreover, poor mentalization was related to an increased likelihood of developing a psychotic disorder (OR = 0.427, 95% CI [0.188, 0.970]); conversely, no predictive effects of the attachment variables and their interaction with RF on the transition to psychosis were found. Notably, an optimal threshold value of RF = 1.25 was found to distinguish UHR subjects who made the transition to psychosis from those who did not develop this pathology. Conclusion: The results suggest that aberrant mentalizing patterns can predict the development of psychosis. Clinical implications of these results for the development of preventive treatments are discussed.
Ethnic Enclaves, Education, and Crime among Immigrant Youth
Authors: Hermansen Are Skeie
Published: July 2020

While the spatial concentration of immigrant minorities raises concern about the intergenerational consequences of place-based ethnic inequalities, influential theories of assimilation emphasize that mobilization of social capital within local ethnic networks is central in shaping the future life chances of immigrant youth. This study asks how properties of the ethnic neighborhood environment in adolescence predict future criminal behavior and educational careers among immigrant youth using rich administrative data from Norway. I find that immigrant youth’s adolescent exposure to better-educated coethnic immigrant neighbors from the same origin country is related to lower risks of criminal engagement, higher likelihoods of completing upper-secondary education, and better academic achievements while growing up in areas with less-educated coethnics is associated with adverse outcomes. These associations are robust to adjustment for a broad set of background characteristics and fixed effects at the level of neighborhoods and national-origin groups. By contrast, the educational characteristics of other immigrant and native majority neighbors during adolescence seems to matter less. Overall, these findings support the view that the socioeconomic profile of coethnic neighbors in adolescence are consequential for key dimensions of immigrant youth’s assimilation.
Natural stings: alternative health services selling distrust about vaccines on YouTube
Authors: Machado Dayane Fumiyo Tokojima , de Siqueira Alexandre Fioravante , Gitahy Leda
Published: July 2020

In this study, we investigate YouTube’s videos related to vaccines to understand the particularities of the opposition to vaccines in Brazil. The World Health Organization considered vaccine hesitation as one of the greatest threats to global health in 2019. Researchers associated this hesitation to a strengthening of the anti-vaccination movements, suggesting that social media is currently the main spreader of this position. YouTube increasingly becomes a matter of concern, since its recommendation system is identified as a promoter of misinformation and extreme content. Despite YouTube’s statements, misinformation and disinformation (M&D) about vaccines continue to be disseminated in videos in Portuguese, reaching a large audience. We found 52 videos containing M&D about vaccines. The main M&D were the claim of dangerous ingredients in vaccines, the defense of self-direction — freedom of choice, independent research —, the promotion of alternative health services, the myth that vaccines cause diseases, conspiracy theories, and the allegation of vaccine’s severe collateral effects. We identified 39 brands advertising on 13 videos of our M&D sample. Although the YouTube Partner Program is an important source of income, the channels use different economic strategies, such as the selling of courses, and therapies and the use of fundraising platforms. We also found that alternative health channels spread distrust about traditional institutions to promote themselves as trusted sources for the audience and thereby profit with alternative health services.

Published: July 2020

The Child Social Welfare Institution (LKSA) is an institution tasked with providing relief services to meet the standards of living, health, education, and the social needs of both individuals and groups. An LKSA Robbani is one of the institutions that help in handling family and child cases by National Standards for Child Care. In solving child problems, the institution must open the previous case data to determine the appropriate solution, such that the service process becomes long. Therefore, an application software is needed that can help the institution to be faster. The developed system is using the Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) Method. The advantage of this method is how to adapt the solutions of the previous case, as well as in seeking similarity in each case that the most significant similarity value is considered the most similar case. The method is very suitable for building the application. The system that was built had to do a trial before being used by the user. The trial result was carried out of the system with manual calculations using the case-based reasoning method. Furthermore, from the results of the trial, it was produced by 87.5%.

‘That’s One of Mine’
Authors: Hatfull Ronan
Published: July 2020

In televisual representations of William Shakespeare’s life which blend biographical fact with fictionalised fantasy, contemporary writers often utilise the trope of the playwright colliding with characters and scenes recognisable from plays which he has yet to create and, consequently, finding inspiration. Others construct a reciprocal loop of influence, whereby Shakespeare is shown to have written or been informed by works that did not exist during his lifetime and which his plays themselves instigated. It has become fashionable in the metamodern era to depict these forms of metaphorical cannibalism in a parodic manner which oscillates between sarcastic rejection of Bardolatry and sincere appreciation for Shakespeare’s ‘genius’. Gareth Roberts satirised the notion of Shakespeare’s originality in Doctor Who episode The Shakespeare Code (2007), through the depiction of the playwright being fed and consuming his own works and specific references. In 2016, the 400th anniversary year of Shakespeare’s death, a number of commemorative BBC programmes also exhibited cannibalistic features, including the reverent (The Hollow Crown), the irreverent (Cunk on Shakespeare), and those which combined both registers (Upstart Crow). I will explore how these writers construct their portrayals of Shakespeare and, by interlacing fact and fiction, what portrait of the playwright these cannibalistic representations produce.
Implementation of Chrysanthemum Post-Harvest Technology in Tomohon City to Extend Storage Time
Authors: Lintang Meivie , Tandi Olvie , Layuk Payung
Published: July 2020

Chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflora) is an ornamental plant that has high economic value, including flowers that are in great demand at domestic or abroad.  As cut flowers, chrysanthemums are used for decoration and flower arrangements at weddings, and for opening new offices.  The quality of cut flowers depends on the appearance and durability of freshness. Flowers with prime quality have a higher sale value compared to low-quality cut flowers. To maintain the quality of prime cut flowers still need to be implemented several treatments, especially when the flowers are ready to harvest to the consumers.  The handling of post-harvest chrysanthemums is an important factor that is inseparable from the stages of cultivation and greatly influences the selling value and added value that will be obtained by farmers and traders. The use of pulsing and holding liquid during display will extend the chrysanthemum vase life. By implementing post-harvest chrysanthemums in accordance with handling procedures (SOP), chrysanthemums will be obtained that can meet quality standards and can provide added value for farmers and flower traders

Authors: Kirpsza Adam
Published: July 2020

The purpose of the article is to identify the conditions that affect the success of the European Parliament’s amendments in the ordinary legislative procedure. In the first step, hypotheses were delineated predicting the impact of specific factors on the effectiveness of EP demands. Subsequently, they were verified using the logistic regression. The results revealed that the EP is more likely to be successful in this procedure if it takes seven actions. First, it bundles several legislative proposals in one package. Second, it persuades the European Commission to support its amendments. Third, it negotiates the legislative proposals in trilogues. Fourth, it is cohesive during negotiations. Fifth, it prolongs negotiations with the Council until the end of parliamentary term. Sixth, it designates a rapporteur from a country acting at the same time as the Council Presidency. Seventh, it negotiates with the Council when the Presidency legislative workload is high.

Authors: Rudnicki Zbigniew B.
Published: July 2020

The aim of this article is to show what impact the crisis in the European Union, along with the crisis in the euro zone at the forefront, had on European identity, interwoven with the identity of the European Union to such an extent that these terms are often handled as equivalent. Developments and crises situations which exert an influence on European identity were presented with respect to areas of particular importance that affect the way the European Union is identified within the community and abroad. Following issues were discussed: implications of the crisis for the European Union’s international identity, for the European social model (welfare state), for transnational identity (in internal relations) and for unity and solidarity in the European Union. In the conclusion, it is stated that the economic, political and social crises had undermined the gradual development of European / European Union identity among citizens and had an impact on its image in international relations.
Naddniestrze w polityce Unii Europejskiej i Rosji
Authors: Lachert Jakub
Published: July 2020

The fundamental thesis of this paper is that the European Union has, at its disposal, economic and political tools to resolve conflict in Transnistria. The EU Association Agreement signed with the Republic of Moldova is an important instrument which could be used to reintegrate Transnistria with Moldova. In the long term, the flourishing Moldavian economy associated with the EU might prove a more attractive alternative for Tiraspol than dependence on unpredictable Russia. However, Russia continues to play an important part in the efforts to solve the conflict.
Information on demand. Evaluation of the European Union’s information policy done by journalists
Authors: Jas-Koziarkiewicz Marta
Published: July 2020

The aim of the article is to present the assessment of the EU information policy instruments made by Polish journalists of the mainstream media, as well as their opinion about the instruments and the extent to which they are used. The analysis tries to verify the assumption that the journalists use the instruments of the EU information policy in their editorial work and approve them, as much as they approve the European project. Despite positive opinions, the journalists have some objections to the functioning of some instruments and they propose introducing modifications that would make them function better. The research method that has been applied in the analysis is the semi-structured in-depth interview. The non-probability sampling was used in the research. The key criterion for respondent selection was raising the subject of the EU in editorial work.
Institutional organisation of the European Union in the time of crisis – horizontal division of power and functions
Authors: Poboży Monika
Published: July 2020

The article poses a question about the existence of the rule of separation of powers in the EU institutional system, as it is suggested by the wording of the treaties. The analysis led to the conclusion, that in the EU institutional system there are three separated functions (powers) assigned to different institutions. The Council and the European Parliament are legislative powers, the Commission and the European Council create a “divided executive”. The Court of Justice is a judicial power. The above mentioned institutions gained strong position within their main functions (legislative, executive, judicial), but the proper mechanisms of checks and balances have not been developed, especially in the relations between legislative and executive power. These powers do not limit one another in the EU system. In the EU there are therefore three separated but arbitrary powers – because they do not limit and balance one another, and are not fully controlled by the member states.
Populist narration of the Freedom Party of Austria before the presidential election in 2016
Authors: Miecznikowska Justyna
Published: July 2020

The election of the head of state in Austria in 2016 was in many ways a breakthrough and its course was surprising. Norbert Hofer, a right-wing populist candidate of the Freedom Party of Austria, made it to the second round of presidential election. Technical problems related to the organisation of the presidential election postponed the final decision until December 2016. The aim of this article is to present the main elements of the populist narrative propagated by the FPÖ during the election campaign. The party reached for a well-known arsenal of means, trying to convince voters to their candidate. It underlined the protection of national identity, the defence of the interests of Austria in the European Union, declarations of strengthening the position of president and the inclusion of the people in the governing through direct democracy. The populist rhetoric recurred as well to its permanent elements: criticism of the establishment and the conspiracy theory of the Austrian elite aiming to prevent or postpone the victory of a FPÖ candidate.

The surface morphology of GaN and copper nanowires was observed by scanning electron microscopy. An UV detector based on GaN nanowires was prepared with copper nanowires as electrode. The results show that the device is a photoconductive detector. The detector has different response under different wavelength light illumination and has the maximum response under 365nm ultraviolet light. Photocurrent–time characteristics show the detector has good stability over time.
A Study on the density and excess molar volume of the mixture formed by 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol, diethanolamine, and water
Authors: Ramirez-Verduzco L. F.
Published: July 2020

Aqueous alkanolamines solutions are widely used in petroleum refineries to remove acid gases from hydrotreated streams. The knowledge of physical properties in this kind of solutions is useful for the correct design, operation, and control of sweetening processes. Due to the above, we carried out a study on the density of the ternary mixture: 2-Amino-2-Methyl-1-Propanol (AMP) + Diethanolamine (DEA) + Water (H2O). Density was measured by means of the vibrating tube method with an uncertainty of 2×10-4 g·cm-3.  The experimental data was obtained in the entire concentration range, temperatures from 303.15 to 333.15 K, and pressure of 101.3 kPa. In addition, the following three prediction methods were tested to estimate the density of the blend: mixing rule, polynomial correlation, and excess molar volume. The best prediction was obtained by means of the excess molar volume through the Redlich-Kister and Cibulka equations, where an average absolute deviation (AAD) of 0.02%, correlation coefficient (R) of 0.9999, and standard deviation (
) of 3×10-4 g·cm-3 were obtained.

Published: July 2020

La apendicitis aguda se destaca como la emergencia quirúrgica no obstétrica más frecuente durante el embarazo. Su abordaje diagnóstico representa todo un reto, ya que debido a los cambios fisiológicos y anatómicos propios de la gestación, la sintomatología no suele ser tan clara. A pesar de que el diagnóstico se basa en la clínica y valores de laboratorio, las pacientes embarazadas pueden no presentar los hallazgos clásicos de apendicitis aguda, por lo que realizar estudios de imágenes resulta esencial en caso de duda diagnóstica. El tratamiento definitivo para la apendicitis aguda es la apendicectomía, ya sea abierta o laparoscópica, asociado a la administración de antibióticos profilácticos de amplio espectro. Esta patología debe ser abordada de forma oportuna, ya que el retraso en su manejo se asocia con resultados adversos tanto maternos como fetales.

Published: July 2020

Objective: To identify the rates and indications of cesarean section (CS) using the Robson classification during 2014- 2016 in a university hospital in southern Thailand. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study of women who delivered between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2016 was conducted. The data were analyzed using the Robson classification. Results: A total of 10,474 births were included in the analysis. The overall CS rate was 55.5%. The trends of CS rates in most Robson classification groups over the 3-year period were static. The CS rates in nulliparous or multiparous women with induction of labor decreased over the 3-year period, while the rate in multiparous women with fetal breech presentation increased. Women with previous cesarean section (Robson group 5) were the largest contributor to the overall CS rate (32.1%), followed by the nulliparous women with a single cephalic pregnancy, ≥37 weeks gestation in spontaneous labor (Robson group 1) (24.5%). Cephalopelvic disproportion and fetal distress were the most common indications for CS in Robson group 1. Conclusion: The CS rates in our study were high in all groups during the 3-year period, with static trends in most groups. The Robson classification is a feasible tool for monitoring CS rates in our setting. Feedback of these findings to healthcare providers and policy makers is advised.

Basilar invagination is a challenging dilemma that neurosurgeons may face. Herein, we present a case of a 65-year-old female with a history of rheumatoid arthritis and status post a previous C4–7 ACDF who presented to our clinic with progressive weakness in her bilateral upper and lower extremities. Imaging revealed basilar invagination. She underwent an endoscopic endonasal odontoidectomy followed by an occiput–C6 fusion. We present the endonasal portion of the procedure and have highlighted the technical nuances of this approach. Our goal is to provide better insight into this surgical strategy when dealing with basilar invagination.

Advanced pedagogy is the way to enhance teaching and learning performance for non-financial students. There are different methods in use across the globe for innovative teaching of higher learning students. The use of multimedia and technology empowers educational processes by increasing interaction between teachers and students. Hybrid teaching and blended learning follow an integrated approach to teaching that blends with students' interests and teacher's personality that needs curriculum-appropriate methods. This includes e-learning in addition to the face-to-face teaching that is customarily used in teaching . While teachers are still an authority figure in a student-centered teaching model, they both play an equally active role in the learning process. Teachers should thus apply themselves to utilizing innovative methods so that the students’ learning process is as free-flowing and that the methodology used creates an atmosphere adaptable to conducive learning environment. The application of innovative teaching and learning methods is critical if we are to motivate and enculturate a spirit of learning and cooperation by encouraging others and doing your share on the part of students. The role of education is to ensure that while academic personal are involve in active teaching, an effort is made to ensure alignment between what is taught and what is comprehensible in relation to students. Linguistically diverse, cultural backgrounds and the familiarity with the expected standards have profound effects on teaching methods. Students must frequently engage in collaborative learning activities such as selecting, organizing, locating, synthesizing and using relevant information sources to construct meaning about some particular knowledge. Such activities have been assumed to lead to higher levels of knowledge acquisition and learning. The goal of this study is an ongoing and progressive examine of how Edger Dale's Cone of Experience and Bloom's taxonomy is employed to positively influence student learning. In this conceptual research the methodology used was hinged on analytic processes for material already published in this area. Key variables under investigation forecast on integration of Dales and Blooms theories for theoretical perspectives with the researchers pedagogy known as the NFT. The researcher implemented the NFT pedagogy in an academic setting to non-financial student in a period of 12 months and observed positive results.The researcher anticipates that the findings of this study will contribute to the enhancement of both teaching-learning and assessment process, which hopefully will uplift the learner to learn at a deeper level in a manner that incorporates small-group learning, achieve higher grades, retain information longer, acquire greater communication and teamwork skills, and gain a better understanding of the module.
Expression of the concept of "emotion" in contemporary English-language discourse (based on material from female novels of the 21st century)
Authors: Yesypenko Nadia , Boicu Victoria
Published: July 2020

The article analyzes the theoretical and methodological base for the study of emotions and concepts in modern linguistics. The relationship between the conceptual and nominative ﬁelds is revealed, where the conceptual ﬁeld has a multi-level structure with the possibility of distinguishing the core, central zone and periphery, and the nominative ﬁeld of the concept consists of a combination of language means, objectiﬁes the concept in a certain period of development of society. The conceptual component of the structure of the concept of "emotion" is deﬁned. The features of actualization of the concepts of positive and negative emotions in women's novels by John Green are revealed. The frequency of occurrence of the concepts of positive and negative emotions in the art discourse is analyzed.
Understanding the COSO 2013 Framework: Four Short Cases for Use in AIS and Auditing Courses
Authors: Lehmann Constance M. , Hao Jun (Maggie)
Published: July 2020

Since our students will be auditors or accountants after they graduate, they need to understand how to apply and assess the components of the COSO 2013 framework in their evaluations of a client's internal controls and the reports used for decision-making. We present four short cases addressing the components of the COSO 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework. The short cases we provide focus on the interaction of the components to help students see how these components combine to form a strong internal control system. Learning objectives of the cases are to help students: 1) practice performing a risk assessment and making recommendations to respond to the identified risks, 2) identify non-accounting information that could be used to monitor operations, 3) evaluate the control environment of an organization in terms of the five principles of the COSO 2013 control environment component, and 4) evaluate potential fraud risk, identifying the information and monitoring activities that could be used to mitigate that risk. A pre- and post-test analysis shows that students, especially undergraduates, exhibited significant improvement in their understanding of the components of the COSO 2013 framework. Implementation guidance and other feedback are included.
Pragmatik in Geschmacksfragen? Kommentar zu Julia Zakkous Faultless Disagreement
Authors: Kindermann Dirk
Published: July 2020

In ihrem wunderbar argumentierten Buch Faultless Disagreement (FD) ver- folgt Julia Zakkou zwei Hauptanliegen. Erstens, das Phänomen der fehlerlosen Meinungsverschiedenheit in Fragen des persönlichen Geschmacks zu erklären. Zweitens, die semantische Orthodoxie
des indexikalischen Kontextualismus zu verteidigen, indem sie diesem ihren originellen, pragmatischen Überlegenheits- Ansatz (SA) zur Seite stellt. Ich möchte im Folgenden einige kritische Nachfra- gen zu Zakkous vorgeschlagener Arbeitsteilung zwischen Semantik und Pragma- tik stellen,
zur Reichweite des pragmatischen Überlegenheits-Ansatzes, zu dessen pragmatischen Details und schließlich zum Anspruch des letzten Kapitels in FD, Vorkommnisse von Prädikaten des persönlichen Geschmacks allgemein und in jeglichen linguistischen Kontexten erklären
zu können.
Kreasiki Gymnastics in Reducing the Stress Level of Diabetes Mellitus Patients
Authors: Widayati Dhina , Nuari Nian Afrian
Published: July 2020

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by an increase in blood glucose levels due to a disruption of the pancreas in the production of the hormone insulin. One problem for people with diabetes is unstable glucose levels, which can trigger stress. One of the diseases' management can be done with exercise that can be packaged in the form of gymnastics by combining exercise and relaxation movements. This study's objective is to determine the effect of Kreasiki gymnastics (a combination of deep breathing relaxation and dhikr or pray) on stress levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study used a Pre-Experiment design with a one-group method of Pre-Post Test Design. The sample size in this study amounted to 27 respondents obtained by purposive sampling. Measurement of stress levels used the modified Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-42) questionnaire. The results of the analysis with the Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test showed a p-value of 0.008, which means that the Kreasiki gymnastics affected reducing the stress level of people with diabetes mellitus. Before the intervention, most respondents had moderate stress levels, and after the response, it showed all respondents with mild stress levels. Kreasiki gymnastics can reduce stress levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It occurs through a mechanism with two pathways, which are psychologically and physically. Psychologically, stimulation of endorphin hormone secretion will result in a relaxed condition to activate insulin. Physically, the effect of contractile muscles will absorb glucose because the insulin works more actively so that it can reduce sugar levels.
Quality of Visit and Fulfillment Needs after Childbirth: Study on Postpartum Maternal Mortality
Authors: Awang Mariana Ngundju , Kristin Diyan Maria
Published: July 2020

Most maternal deaths occur during the postpartum period so that childbirth health services play an important role in reducing maternal mortality rates from 6 hours to 42 days after giving birth. It is estimated that 69% of maternal deaths due to pregnancy occur after childbirth, and 50% of postpartum deaths occurred in the first 24 hours. The highest number of maternal deaths was found in East Sumba Regency which was 19 maternal deaths, 12 of which were maternal deaths during the puerperium. Maternal deaths in 2017 out of 9, there were 5 postpartum mothers whereas the 3rd postpartum visit was 91%. The objective of this study is to determine the quality of puerperal visits and the fulfillment of the needs of puerperal women in East Sumba Regency in 2015-2018. This type of research is qualitative research with a phenomenological study. Participants or informants in this study were the husband or family of all mothers who died postpartum in 2015-2018 and midwives who deal with these mothers during antenatal care, childbirth, and postpartum as well as data analysis which is content analysis. The results showed that the quality of puerperal visits was still irregular, systematic, and unfocused so that it was unable to detect postpartum problems early. Meeting the needs of mothers during childbirth is still incomplete, not detailed, and does not routinely conduct head-to-toe examinations during postpartum visits. The conclusion of the study shows that the quality of the visit and the fulfillment of the needs of the postpartum mothers are related to maternal mortality during the postpartum period in East Sumba Regency.

Authors: Yazdani Naveed , Murad Hasan Sohaib , Raza Ahmad
Published: July 2020

This paper examines the management style practiced by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) during the early period of Islamic Civilization. This management style is labeled as Prophetic Organization Theory (POT). POT is compared with two discourses preva-lent in the contemporary Organization Theory which are briefly introduced. The com-parison of POT with these discourses is undertaken through employing some facets of contemporary Organization Theory such as ethics, organizational epistemology and ontological states, organizational metaphorical forms, leadership and management styles and, organizational culture. Discussion section summarizes the findings of the comparison.
