Authors: Pudhiya Samy P. R. , Jadhao Ashok R. , Sai Alandari Pooja , Staffina Aji
Published: June 2024

Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among females. In India, breast cancer is the top most cancer with about 13.6% new cases diagnosed in 2020. Current knowledge of the aetiology of breast cancer offers little prospect of primary prevention. So secondary prevention like breast screening, which include self breast examination have to be done. The present study was designed to determine the knowledge, attitude and practice regarding BSE among women aged 18 years and above.
Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted on 241 females above 18 years of age in rural health care training centre affiliated to IGGMC, Nagpur. All consecutive participants were interviewed in person using a predesigned and pre-tested proforma. SPSS Version 20 was used to analyse the data collected.
Results: It was seen that the mean age of participants was 29.98±7.382 years The majority of participants were belonged to the Hindu religion (63.9%) and nuclear family (82.57%). Majority of participants (68.05%) were having poor knowledge about BSE, most of the participants were having good attitude (51.45%), majority of participants (53.11%) were having poor practice to BSE.
Conclusions: BSE is one of the most effective preventive health behaviour for the early detection of breast cancer. In this study, it is evident that knowledge about BSE is low. This indicate that there is a need for Health education about breast cancer and BSE among the rural population of India to improve the KAP about BSE for early detection and better survival.
Impact of intervention on adequate antenatal care and associated factors among Baiga tribal women of Madhya Pradesh: a case-control study
Authors: Kumar Dinesh
Published: June 2024

Background: This study was done to report on adequate antenatal care services owing to the impact of IEC intervention among deprived Baiga tribal women.
Methods: Intervention study of 367 tribal women having a reproductive age of 15 to 49 year of 24 villages from district-Dindori. Pre-tested, administered intervention tools were implemented in intervention groups (12 villages) to enhance women's knowledge for the use of ANC services (phase-I) and in phase-II impact evaluation survey of mother’s antenatal care utilization and related details were collected from mothers of both intervention and control group. Based on baseline indicators, a carry forward IEC-intervention study was taken considering the case-control design. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the associated factors.
Results: Use of ANC services 82.3% was found to have increased by 10.3% from baseline (72%); it was found significantly higher (88%) in the intervention group while lower (76.1%) in the control group. As regards 60% women received more than 3 ANC check-ups remarkably higher by 13% in the intervention group. Health institution child births 44.8% were found meaningfully improved by 36.8% from baseline (8%); also, it was revealed higher (49.7%) in the intervention group than lower (40%) in the control group. Women’s education and exposure of previous pregnancy has found strong association with adequate antenatal care in intervention groups.
Conclusions: A comparatively high proportion of the use of ANC services and institutional child birth were found in the intervention group. Improving the access to more quality health services in other tribal communities may necessitate the intervention research.

Authors: Gupta Akanksha , Das Anupam , Agarwal Jyotsna
Published: June 2024

Background: Fast track approach is being followed by UNAIDS in order to achieve the aim of ending AIDS epidemic by 2030. It is important to keep a check on new infections and gather information about the HIV trends of the new cases. This study was planned to analyze the socio-demographic details, associated high risk behaviours and common routes of transmission of new cases.
Methods: Data of new HIV positive patients coming to the ICTC centre during the study period was collected. The HIV positive patients were counselled by the counsellor after taking informed consent. The socio demographic details of the patients were shared by the counsellor.
Results: Total 92 HIV positive patients were enrolled. Out of 92, 64 were males and 28 were females. Out of 92, 12 were illiterate. Most common route of transmission was found to be heterosexual route followed by blood transfusion. Of 92 patients, 36 were direct walk in clients and 56 were referred to ICTC. Most common high risk behaviour amongst HIV positive people is unsafe sexual practice with non-regular/casual partners, and homemakers are mostly secondarily infected from their reactive spouses.
Conclusions: The most common high-risk behaviour (HRB) amongst HIV positive people is unsafe sexual practice with non-regular/casual partners, and innocent homemakers are mostly secondarily infected from their reactive spouses. Thus, there is a need to further spread awareness amongst women about the HRB and risk of HIV. Sharing of results between partners needs to be encouraged in order to prevent HIV transmission.

Published: June 2024

Background: Globally, the number of people using mobile phones is estimated to be around 8.1 billion, with the majority being youths. Therefore, our aim was to assess problematic mobile phone use among late adolescents.
Methods: We conducted an exploratory mixed-method study among selected schools in Puducherry, South India, from September to October 2019. Two focus group discussions (FGDs) were held among students exhibiting high problematic mobile phone use.
Results: A total of 498 students were enrolled, with a mean (SD) age of 14.3 (1.4) years, and more than half were male. Approximately 77% reported using mobile phones, with around 30% spending more than one hour per day on mobile use. Of the total, 23% (95% CI 19.3-26.8) exhibited problematic mobile phone use. Factors significantly associated with problematic use included the student's level of education (APR= 5.6, 95% CI 1.3 – 24.7), parents' occupations (APR= 3.8, 95% CI 1.2 – 12.2), and hours spent on mobile phones (APR= 2.1, 95% CI 1.3 – 3.4). Only 50% were aware that increased mobile phone use is harmful. Qualitative interviews provided significant insights into smartphone dependency and challenges faced by students.
Conclusions: There is a pressing need for comprehensive initiatives to promote responsible smartphone use.

Published: June 2024

Background: Hypertension is a major public health problem. Globally 1.28 billion adults aged 30-79 years have hypertension and among this 46% were undiagnosed. Kerala is one state undergoing epidemiological transition and having high prevalence of hypertension. So, we did this study to estimate the proportion of hypertension among non-medical employees of Medical College Thiruvananthapuram.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 202 non-medical employees of medical college Thiruvananthapuram. Data was collected using an investigator administered questionnaire. Anthropometric indices were measured and recorded. Blood pressure (BP) was recorded twice in a gap of 15 min for each participant in sitting position using mercury sphygmomanometer. Mean systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) was calculated to confirm hypertension. Participants those who were already detected as hypertensive and on treatment were also noted. Data was analysed using SPSS software version 27.
Results: Prevalence of hypertension in the study population was 61/202 (30.19%). Among the hypertensive 39 (63.9%) were already detected and on treatment and 22 (36.1%) were undiagnosed. Among already detected hypertensive 13 (33.3%) were found to be inadequately treated. Hypertension was found to be associated with waist circumference and BMI.
Conclusions: The study population was found to have high prevalence of hypertension and having association with waist circumference and BMI. The rule of halves for depicting the trend of hypertension in study population can be used as a tool to deduce various interventions in the community.

Authors: K. R. Vishal , Anuhya Katta , Imran Sarmad , Khanduja Sneha , Yeshasri Chennagouni
Published: June 2024

Background: This study examines the impact of lifestyle factors, particularly sleep patterns and stress, on skin health and aging in the Indian population. The findings provide valuable information for health professionals, policy makers and individuals to develop targeted interventions and recommendations to promote healthy skin and combat premature aging.
Methods: The study utilized SPSS Software (by IBM) for descriptive and inferential statistical tests, calculating frequencies and percentages of categorical variables. Descriptive statistics summarized participants' characteristics, while the chi-square test was used to investigate associations between socio demographic factors and acne. The total of 510 participants was included in the analysis.
Results: To investigate categorical factors associated with skin finding (acne), Chi-square test was used to find the association and where the expected count in cells was less than 5, Fisher Exact test was applied. Statistical significance determined at p<0.05. There was a total of 510 individuals but 7 did not consent to participate so 503 individuals were included in analysis.
Conclusions: The use of smartphones has had a big impact on sleep patterns, which are crucial for preserving physiological balance. Sleep disturbances can cause dryness and irritation of skin. A diet high in fruits and vegetables like tomatoes, red grapes are directly linked to promoting skin health. Blue light exposure from smartphones and other electronics can cause hyperpigmentation, premature wrinkles, tanning, and other skin problems. Nomophobia is a phenomenon that we see in this age of reliance on technology, especially cell phones.
On Visualization tools in Bayesian Epistemological Researches
Authors: Dumov Alexander
Published: June 2024

The author examines the features of the use of visualization tools in bayesian epistemology in connection with the question of the relationship between “scientific” and “philosophical” visualization. He analyzes some of the ways to classify visualization tools, with special attention paid to the approach to classification of visualizations anticipated by V.A. Kanke and developed A.V. Makulin. Based on the example of the practices of using visualization tools implemented in the work of I. Douven’s and W. Meijs's “Measuring Coherence,” the structure and goals of forming visualizations in Bayesian epistemological research are described. In conclusion, the author talks about how the study of the practices of using visual means in Bayesian epistemology (and other areas of formal philosophy) contributes to the revision of existing views on the features of “philosophical” visualizations.
Development of Simulation Modeling and Assessment of the Popularity of this direction in Russia
Authors: Evdokimov Dmitry
Published: June 2024

Over the past decades, there has been serious interest in digital tools capable of demonstrating an intuitive interface that can be useful in making management decisions, and capable of combining the functionality of GIS maps, digital twins of the objects being studied, displaying internal algorithms of related elements, and artificial intelligence mechanisms and neural networks. One of these areas, with an emphasis on the predictive component, is simulation models of different levels of detail and typology. The increased attention to such developments can be explained by the fact that this type of modeling carries quite a wide range of functionality for solving a wide variety of problems: from economics and politics to ecology and demography, which, in turn, demonstrate results of an applied nature. These methods have a rich history; the first mention of simulation modeling dates to the middle of the last century.
The article gives a brief overview of the history of the emergence of simulation modeling as a direction, provides an overview of the functionality, presents the advantages and disadvantages of the method, and draws a parallel with the analysis of the distinctive features from other tools of a similar class. A separate study was conducted on the dynamics of development of this type of modeling in Russia from 1998 to 2023. The following keywords were chosen for compiling analytical data: digital model, simulation model, agent-based modeling. The main source of statistics for the database was the Russian electronic library «eLibrary.Ru».

A spirituality of compassion as a common good in times of God’s absence?
Authors: Domsel Maike Maria
Published: June 2024

Since Christian values have lost their monopoly position in postmodern European societies, a diversity of world views has developed. This has led to an understanding of a common set of values becoming a challenge, including in the school sector. Religious education, in particular, has the important task of supporting pupils in dealing with the diversity mentioned above responsibly. In the face of crises, the challenge of maintaining a constructive and respectful social dialogue becomes particularly relevant. Thus, the question emerges concerning whether and how a common spirituality can be built regarding leadership in secondary education. This study investigates whether the guiding principles of compassion and comparative theology suit the challenges of the aforementioned spiritual heterogeneity. Its focus lies in the common goal of overcoming global crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and warlike violence, to achieve a shared responsibility for the planet. This is exemplified through the practical implementation of the Erasmus+ project “yEUr Water – Row on it! Care for it!”, which aims to raise awareness of water preservation within schools across several European countries. It is found that the guiding principle of compassion, along with comparative theology, proves crucial in navigating spiritual heterogeneity, recognizing diverse beliefs, fostering unity, and acknowledging differences within worldviews.

Roots, Heads, or Both? Categorizing Turkish Derivational Affixes
Authors: Oğuz Enis
Published: June 2024

The categorization of derivational affixes has received well-deserved attention in Distributed Morphology. In addition to single-categorization views that classify derivational affixes as either roots or heads, a recent proposal argues that such units can be both roots and heads. While this categorization has been shown to explain Dutch and English data, whether it applies to different languages has not been extensively investigated. In order to investigate the applicability of this recent proposal to the Turkish language, this study examined Turkish derivational suffixes in terms of their stress, flexibility, selection, and ordering patterns. The results showed that the proposal cannot account for the patterns of derivational suffixes in Turkish.

The aim of the research is to study the current state of territorial planning of urban agglomerations in Russia. The authors have considered the peculiarities of agglomerations in Russia, their boundaries and constituent elements. On the example of the Republic of Bashkortostan the differences in the allocation of urban agglomerations while using modern scientific methods are shown. The peculiarities of Ufa and South Bashkortostan agglomerations from the standpoint of territorial planning are highlighted. Insufficient quantity and quality of the sought data does not allow us to apply some of the scientifically based methods for identifying urban agglomerations both in Russia as a whole and on the territory of the Republic of Bashkortostan. In particular, due to the lack of information on pendular migration, the use of data from the All-Russian Population Census of 2020 (2021) is possible only in the case of urban agglomerations. (2021) Population census data can be used only in a very general way. The application of the UN Habitat methodology is possible only for international comparisons and is not applicable in the conditions of the Russian reality, taking into account the prevalence of poorly connected and small in terms of population density urban and rural settlements.
About the Deformation of the Lamina Cribrosa of the Eye
Authors: Vatulyan Alexander O. , Kozachenko Ivan S.
Published: July 2024

Several problems pertaining to deformation of the circular elastic isotropic plate of variable rigidity in the presence of elastic support on the edge were study. In the first problem Timoshenko model was considered. In the second problem the deformation of a multilayer plate with piecewise constant Lame coefficient along the thickness coordinate which are assumed to be constant within one layer was researched, the Zig-zag method is used for modeling. The basis for constructing a solution for both problems is the use of Lagrange’s variation principle of plates, numerical solution constructed using the Ritz method. During the research work the deflection and inflection points of the lamina cribrosa were compared for a healthy eye and for an eye with different stages of primary open-angle glaucoma for constant Lame coefficient as well as for their exponentially decreasing above. The problem of deflection of the lamina cribrosa when tacking into account the prelaminar layer was solved based on the Zig-zag method, the solution to this problem was also compared for a healthy eye and for an eye with various stages of primary open-angle glaucoma.
On Convolution-Type Operators with Kernels from Modified Morrey Spaces
Authors: Ashikhmin Sergey S.
Published: July 2024

We investigate operators of the form MaH, HMa, and Hb, where Ma is the multiplication operator on the function a, H is the integral convolution operator with the kernel h, and Hb is the integral operator with the bounded characteristic b(x,y). It is assumed that the kernel h belongs to the intersection of the Lebesgue and Morrey spaces, and the operators themselves act from the Lebesgue space to the Morrey space. First, using conditions for the precompactness of a set in the Morrey space, we prove the compactness of the operator Ma H, wherein it is assumed that the function a approaches zero at infinity. Next, the commutator of the operators Ma and H is considered. It is shown that if the function a belongs to a certain class of functions with a given behavior at infinity, then the commutator is the compact operator. This, in turn, allows us to establish the compactness of the operator HMa. In particular, we prove that the operators PX H and HPX are compact, where PX is the multiplication operator on the characteristic function of a bounded measurable set X. Finally, the integral operator Hb is considered. It is shown that if characteristic b has a given behavior at infinity, then the operator Hb is compact.
Forecast of the Development of Degradation Processes on Erosion-Hazardous Slopes of Ordinary Chernozems of the Rostov Region
Authors: Gaevaya Emma А. , Bezuglova Olga S.
Published: July 2024

The decline in soil fertility in recent decades has led to a number of problems in agriculture. The spread of degradation processes forces the use of modern methods of modeling and forecasting erosion. The purpose of this work was to make a long-term forecast of the degradation processes of ordinary chernozems on sloping lands in crop rotations of various designs and using various agricultural technologies using automated neural networks. The research was conducted in a multifactorial long-term experiment, which is located on the slope of the Bolshoy Log beam, in 1990-2022. The experience was laid down in 1986 in the system of contour and landscape organization of the slope area with a steepness of up to 3.5-4°. In the experiment, crop rotations with a different ratio of the proportion of pure steam and perennial grasses in the structure of crops, as well as two tillage systems, were studied. As a result of the research, a forecast was made for a hundred years ahead using automated neural networks, which revealed a general trend of attenuation of erosion processes on slopes, but with varying degrees of intensity, both in crop rotations of various designs and when using various agricultural technologies for cultivating crops. Cultivation of crops in crop rotations with a different proportion from 20 to 40 % of perennial grasses in the structure of sown areas reduces the runoff of meltwater and stormwater by 22.9-24.9 %, washing away the soil by 26.4-28.6 %, and in some cases completely, under exist-ing conditions. The use of soil protection treatment will reduce the runoff of meltwater and stormwater by 39.2-72.0 %, and flushing by 41.5 %.

Migration - How social policies shape life chances of migrants
Authors: Hadjar Andreas , Naumann Ingela K.
Published: June 2024

Migration is a core issue of the social sciences, including sociology, social policy and social work, and yet, the impact of social policies on the life chances of migrants has to date not received much attention. In this editorial contribution, we introduce this theme by first outlining migration as an axis of inequality and how welfare states, as systems of stratification, approach inequality. We then discuss the stratification of migrants’ social rights in the context of intersecting immigration and welfare regimes. Doing this, we introduce the different contributions to this themed issue of socialpolicy.ch. Finally, we introduce the Migrant Integration Policy Index as a starting point to study how migration and social policies shape migrants’ life chances regarding different spheres and in different national contexts.

Los prolongados tiempos de inactividad y las pérdidas de funcionalidad observadas después de eventos sísmicos recientes han sido objeto de investigación por distintos autores, evidenciando el interés por lograr enfoques de diseño sísmico orientados hacia sistemas resilientes. Sin embargo, actualmente todavía no existe un consenso claro sobre cómo cuantificar e interpretar los valores de resiliencia. En este documento se presenta un enfoque probabilístico para estimar los tiempos de recuperación y pérdida de funcionalidad en edificaciones, permitiendo estimar la resiliencia sísmica, tomando en cuenta tanto los tiempos de demora en el inicio de las reparaciones, como las consecuencias debido a daño no estructural. En este proceso se definen modelos sencillos que relacionan la respuesta estructural y los parámetros de resiliencia (tiempo de recuperación y funcionalidad). Lo anterior se aplica a estructuras escolares reales ubicadas en el estado de Puebla, con el fin de conocer su resiliencia sísmica. Adicionalmente, se realiza un análisis costo/beneficio para proponer valores objetivo viables de resiliencia sísmica, presentándose una clasificación de baja, mediana y alta resiliencia, lo cual sirve para identificar infraestructura educativa vulnerable y ayudar a la toma de decisiones. Los resultados muestran que la inclusión de los tiempos de demora y el daño no estructural al cuantificar la resiliencia es necesaria si no se desea incurrir en sobreestimaciones. Por otro lado, se encontró que una parte significativa de los edificios escolares en Puebla están poco preparados en términos de resiliencia.

The study seeks to identify differences in financial literacy between genders, between generations, and between genders within the same generation. For this purpose, 2,888 instruments were collected in different Brazilian regions, and structural equation modeling and multigroup analysis were used. The results demonstrate that the model for the measurement of financial literacy presented no variation for all groups (gender, generation, and gender and generation). Results show that women are less financially literate than men and that the differences are statistically similar between the generations. Generation Z (aged 18–26 years, in 2022) presents a lower financial literacy level than Generations Y (aged 27–41 years, in 2022) and X (aged 42–56 years, in 2022), and it is more similar to Baby Boomers (aged 57–78 years, in 2022). This study shows that, despite efforts made to expand financial literacy, there are still significant differences between genders and these differences are not decreasing between generations. Thus, the need for improvement and specification of the strategies adopted in the search for reducing these differences is evident.
ALKALMAZOTT NYELVÉSZET ÉS MAGYAR NYELVTUDOMÁNY A KISEBBSÉGI FELSŐOKTATÁS GYAKORLATÁBAN
Authors: NÁDOR Orsolya
Published: July 2024

Az alkalmazott nyelvészet egyik alapeleme a hasznosság, a társadalmi jelenségek nyelvészet oldaláról történő megvilágítása. A rendszerváltások előtt több évtizeddel jelen volt már ez a szemlélet a magyarországi nyelvtudományban. A kisebbségi magyar nyelvészek kutatási lehetőségei ugyanakkor jóval szűkebbek voltak, leginkább a leíró és történeti nyelvészet, valamint a nyelvjáráskutatás és kisebb mértékben a nyelvművelés határozta meg a munkájukat, miközben az anyanyelv és a többségi nyelv, a két- és többnyelvűség, a nyelvváltozatok presztízse, a nyelvi tervezés és a nyelvpolitika, a szaknyelv és a terminológia már akkor is feladat lett volna, de az adott társadalmi környezetben többnyire nem lehetett. A nyelvésznemzedékeket az egyetemi magyar tanszékek nevelik. A tanulmány azt vizsgálja meg a jelenleg használatban lévő tantervek alapján, hogy a kisebbségi magyar tanszékek tanterveiben milyen mértékben van jelen az általános és az alkalmazott nyelvészet, mennyire hasznos tudást kapnak a végzett hallgatók. A kérdés feltevését egyebek között az indokolja, hogy csökken az érdeklődés a fi ológiai típusú képzések iránt, és még az ezeken tanuló hallgatók is „piacképes” ismereteket igényelnek – vajon meg tudunk-e felelni az elvárásaiknak? A tanulmány erre a választ a rendelkezésre álló tantervek és tantárgyleírások dokumentumelemzésével keresi.
A KÖRMÖCBÁNYAI TÁNCSZÓ KULTURÁLIS KONTEXTUSA
Authors: UTASI Csilla
Published: July 2024

A dolgozat szerzője a régi magyar erotikus költészet egyik legkorábbi szövegét értelmezi. A Körmöcbányai táncszó címen ismert rövid éneket Johann Kreusl, Körmöcbánya jegyzője írta fel egy városi könyv címlapjára. Ludányi Mária szerint a Körmöcbányai táncszó valószínűleg németből készült fordítás, motívumai (a fiatalos ruhába öltözött vénasszony, aki táncolni indul és kecskeként szökell) Neidhart von Reuenthal egyik énekére emlékeztetnek. A dolgozat szerzője a Körmöcbányai táncszó kontextusának rekonstrukciójára vállalkozik. Rámutat arra, hogy a versben szereplő agnő kifejezés egyrészt valóban idős nőt jelentett a korban, másrészt azonban a lusta, haszontalan életet élő nőt is így nevezték, tekintet nélkül életkorára. Az ének, annak függvényében, hogy az agnő kifejezés melyik jelentését részesítjük előnyben, vagy az ifjúság kútjáról szóló elképzeléssel, vagy pedig a „fordított világ”-nak a rossz asszonyról szóló képzetével hozható összefüggésbe. Az ének nem rendelkezik az egyszeri fordítás korabeli jegyeivel. Ha fordításszövegről van is szó, az átültetés közösségi jellegű lehetett. A dolgozat szerzője végül annak a kétnyelvű, német és magyar városi közeg jegyeit jelzi, amelyben az ének az egyik nyelvről a másik nyelvre való váltás eseteként értelmezhető.
Training load monitoring and wellness tracking of student athletes
Authors: Shah Sameer , Pote Lee , Davidson Joshua
Published: June 2024

The evolution of Strength and Conditioning (S&C) has been significant in enhancing athletic performance, especially with a more recent shift in considering holistic athlete wellness which encompasses physical, emotional, and psychological aspects. Understanding the multifaced nature of athlete wellness allows an insight into the holistic wellbeing of athletes. Despite this, student-athletes are an understudied population who face unique challenges due to academic pressures, financial challenges, and intense training schedules in contrast to the established professional athlete. This study aims to investigate the correlation between S&C training loads and various wellness metrics (sleep quality, muscle soreness, mood and educational stress) in student athletes. Understanding how student athlete wellness varies over the academic year allows S&C coaches to tailor training loads to better compliment wellness and improve psychological, physical wellbeing and ultimately athletic performance. With institutional ethics approval from University of Derby, a mixed methods approach was adopted using an online questionnaire which 50 student athletes filled out multiple times a day over the academic year. Sports included were men’s & women’s volleyball, badminton and men’s futsal. Data collected by the survey included sleep duration and quality, muscle soreness ratings, mood surveys, illness reports, training load measurements, stress and anxiety evaluations. This comprehensive data set enables a detailed analysis of trends over time. It is anticipated that the study will reveal significant relationships between training loads and various wellness indicators. Specific trends, such as the impact of academic stress on training effectiveness or the role of sleep quality in recovery and performance, are expected to emerge. These insights will provide valuable information for tailoring S&C programs to better support student athletes. Understanding the complex relationship of training loads and wellness in student athletes is crucial for optimising their performance and overall well-being. This study aims to contribute to a more intricate understanding of these relationships, informing the development of more effective, individualised training and wellness strategies. Ultimately, the research will provide an understanding for the importance of a holistic approach in athlete development, considering both physical and psychological aspects for optimal performance enhancement.
