Authors: Bonna Beata Katarzyna
Published: September 2024

Introduction: The young’s perception competence in the area of art music and age as its predictor are rarely studied. The related results may contribute to multifaceted measures, particularly necessary reforms in the universal music education system. Since school remains to be the only venue in which this music genre competence is shaped in the systemic and multi-staged manner. Research Aim: The study has aimed at assessing the level of the young’s music perception competence shaped in adolescence and young adulthood as far as art music is concerned. The crucial intention has also been to define the relationship with selected conditionalities, out won which age has been singled out to verify whether it is a variable that is statistically significant in terms of the correlation with the competence. Research Method: Quantitative strategy and test method have been applied to the study. Results: The age of the study participants has been indicated to be statistically significant for the ultimate results of the test and its respective parts – identification of style periods in music, a composer’s style, instruments and voices as well as the knowledge on the music literature. Young adults have scored higher. Conclusion: The study participants have shown substantial deficits to the extent of the auditory identification of essential aspects of art music. The competence level at issue has been assesses be low. Age has turned out to be statistically significant in terms of the correlation with the test results, accounting for a higher score in the case of the older age group. The study indicates that the universal music education requires transformation.
The Early Education Teacher Facing the Issue of Thanatology
Authors: Szkolak-Stępień Anna
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Including elements of thanatological education in early education is a necessary aspect of upbringing. Reaching the end of one’s life, the needs of a dying person and of his loved ones – these are difficult subjects, giving rise to strong, negative emotions. In the modern world, the experience of death has unfortunately become much closer, often also personally painful. The COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine have caused a significant worsening of mental functioning in children as well as adults. Thanatological education at the stage of classes I–III in elementary school is therefore a difficult task, often overpassing the capabilities of even the most experienced and talented teachers. Research Aim: The article presents the subject of thanatological education as a challenge for the early education teacher, on the basis of subject literature, and the study’s purpose was to present the preparation of early education teachers in this area on the basis of their self-evaluation and to conduct a diagnosis of these competencies with reference to work experience on the basis of our own research. Method: In the research, use was made of a diagnostic survey, with the questionnaire technique and an online questionnaire (Google Forms). For analysis of the study material, elements of descriptive statistics were used. Results: Research results have indicated that most early education teachers do not possess sufficient competencies in the area of thanatological education, and for half of them, the subject of death is a difficult topic of conversation with children. At the same time, teachers realize the need to support a pupil suffering after the loss of a close person and declare that they offer help in this matter. Conclusions: The subject of death is everywhere present. The early education teacher should be aware that a conversation about dying is a very difficult, delicate subject for the young child. It is often related to dramatic events and stirs negative emotions in pupils. The teacher should have knowledge in the matter of thanatology, with skills and ease of conversation on this level; he should demonstrate sensitivity, tact and empathy towards the pupil in mourning. Therefore, it is suggested that thanatological education be included in the program of pedagogical studies. It has become necessary to consciously perceive the role and place of thanatological education as one of the necessary elements of early school education.
Supervision in Education: a New Model of Support and Professional Development for Teachers
Authors: Siemionow Justyna Maria
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Supervision appears relatively infrequently in the school environment and still functions as an innovative practice. Consequently, with the steadily increasing number of students with specific educational and developmental needs, teachers have faced new challenges and had to redefine existing ones. This has led to a growing interest in educational supervision as a new form of support and professional and personal development for teachers. This article presents basic information about supervision and the conditions for its incorporation into the teacher's work system. Research Aim: This article introduces discussions on supervision in education, taking on a review character and relying on theoretical analyses and research findings available in the literature. Over the past fifteen years (2008-2023), numerous interesting publications on teacher supervision can be found, emphasizing the significance of this issue. Evidence–based Facts: Introducing supervision into schools is a time-consuming process that requires meeting specific conditions, including the substantive preparation of teachers to utilize this form of support. Modern teachers face complex tasks that exceed their capabilities, necessitating a team of specialists and engaging in reflective analysis of their professional experiences. Summary: The implementation of teacher support in schools requires legal, organizational, and theoretical changes. This approach is becoming increasingly popular as a way to address growing educational difficulties. It is worth noting that social work supervision came before educational supervision, and this topic is increasingly being discussed in various scientific publications. These publications serve as a valuable source of inspiration for implementing supervision in schools and educational institutions.

Authors: Sandoval Navarrete Cesar , Adasme Pablo , Dehghan Firoozabadi Ali
Published: September 2024

This study explores an innovative focus for optimizing clusters in the LEACH-C protocol via applying the P-Median model. Using a fixed number of sensors, the method is centered on improving energy efficiency for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). Applying the P-Median model managed to delay the death of the first node, reducing both the number of clusters and the number of packets sent to the cluster heads, increasing packets sent to the sink, and increasing average network energy. These advances represent a significant improvement in energy efficiency, a central aspect of WSN, also contributing to long-term sustainability and lowering operating and maintenance costs. The relevance of this study reaches beyond improvements in energy efficiency, presenting the potential to revolutionize resource and infrastructure management, especially in remote areas. The results of this study open a promising path towards optimization in the field of WSN and highlight the usefulness of the P-Median model in improving performance and energy efficiency within these networks.

Gender and Rural Policing: Lack of Opportunities for Male Police Constables in Rural Police Departments in Trinidad and Tobago
Authors: Wallace Wendell
Published: September 2024

Within the past two decades, there has been increased research interest in rural policing on a global level. While most of those studies were oriented in the United States, Britain, Canada, and Australia, there is a slowly growing corpus of literature on rural policing in the Global South, including the Caribbean. Most of the studies on rural policing have examined rural policing in the context of domestic violence, mental health, administration of justice, conditions of employment, and female issues. Unfortunately, most of these scholarly efforts have not examined male police officers as a distinct group. As conjecture and media reports suggest that male police officers in rural locales in Trinidad and Tobago are treated indifferently, the current research effort presents data gathered from thirteen male police constables attached to rural police stations on the island. This research aims to understand whether this group of police officers suffer from lack of opportunities due to the rural location of their police stations. Three themes: (1) lack of access, (2) fathering/parenting challenges, and (3) favouritism, emanated from the data. Several forms of opportunities that are for male police officers attached to rural police stations in Trinidad and Tobago also emanated from the data and these are presented and discussed.
Documenting the ‘Rural Wraith’ Phenomenon
Authors: Smith Robert
Published: September 2024

This article reports on a contemporary criminal phenomenon occurring in the UK which spans both urban and rural policing – namely the use of electronic scooters and motorcycles (often simply referred to as e-bikes) to commit crime. These are used by criminals who use them as a tool of criminality because of their enhanced mobility and their operational silence. Gangs of urban based criminals also referred to as ‘Rural Wraiths’ or ‘e-bandits’ use them to raid farms in the countryside to steal quad-bikes and GPS trackers from tractors amongst other items. This innovative criminal modus operandi is a particularly fit with the ecology agriculture in the UK in that many rural areas are within easy travelling distance for urban-based criminals. It is thus of limited utility in rural settings in Australia, the United States and Canada where geographic distances from urban areas are greater. The article introduces the phenomenon by discussing the urban based phenomenon before scoping and documenting the nature of the problem and providing examples of the so-called rural wraith activity in the countryside.

Published: September 2024

The present article describes the technical design of a sensory system used for the detection and localisation of radiation direction in space using a photosensitive component, a sensor matrix. At present, there are a number of systems that use accumulated solar energy. The solar energy is used in heating systems, for water heating, as well as technological purposes and production of electrical energy. The most frequent applications include heating drinking water and energy accumulation in form of a usable (perceivable) heat in hot water containers. However, there are still certain limitations to these systems, as to heating and seasonal accumulation purposes, in terms of their efficiency and financial return.

Authors: Kong Lingyu , Zhang Zhiqi , Li Yanyan , Zhu Xinrui , Fan Jia , Meng Lingyue , Zhang Qiuxia
Published: September 2024

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a prevalent health issue that imposes heavy burdens on personal health status and social healthcare. Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS)/Vojta therapy has demonstrated effectiveness in managing conditions related to musculoskeletal system. However, its effects on individuals with LBP remain incompletely understood. We aimed to evaluate the effects of DNS/Vojta therapy on pain intensity and physical function in individuals with LBP.
Methods: A search of studies was conducted on several academic databases from inception through April 13, 2023. This study included clinical trials that evaluated the effects of DNS/Vojta therapy on the outcomes in individuals with LBP. The methodological quality of studies was assessed using PEDro scale, Cochrane Collaboration tool, and ROBINS-I scale. Meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager software (RevMan version 5.4.1, The Cochrane Collaboration, 2020).
Results: This systematic review and meta-analysis identified twelve eligible studies, which demonstrated that DNS/Vojta therapy significantly alleviated pain intensity (SMD=-1.09; 95%Cl [-1.74, -0.44]; Z=3.28; P=0.001), reduced disability severity (SMD=-0.91; 95%Cl [-1.48, -0.34]; Z=3.12; P=0.002), and improved quality of life (SMD=1.05; 95%CI [0.14, 1.96]; Z=2.27; P=0.02) in individuals with LBP, while no significant improvements were observed in static and dynamic balance ability or spine flexibility.
Conclusion: DNS/Vojta therapy is a promising approach for providing great benefits for individuals with LBP, particularly in terms of reducing pain intensity and disability severity, and improving quality of life, which is worth further in clinical application.

Authors: Amsah Norizzati , Isa Zaleha Md , Ahmad Norfazilah
Published: September 2024

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with a wide range of health outcomes, including an increased risk of depression and anxiety and a decline in quality of life. Even though the significance of biopsychological factors in the mental health status of T2DM patients has been discussed in other studies, the role of environmental factors has been lacking. Therefore, this review aimed to identify the relationship between environmental factors and mental health status among T2DM patients.
Methods: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) extension for scoping reviews was utilized in this study. Using predetermined keywords, a systematic search was conducted on three electronic databases from 2005 to 2023, namely, Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed. Articles written in English, and studies focusing on the research question are among the inclusion criteria. Ten articles were extracted that were relevant to the research question.
Results: Poor socioeconomic status, urban areas, the influence of neighborhood, greenness, and air pollution had associations with mental health status among T2DM patients.
Conclusion: The possible implications of these factors for mental health demand further research and policy consideration.

Authors: He Yang , Xu Abai , Xiao Li , Yang Ying , Li Boping , Liu Zhe , Rao Peng , Wang Yicheng , Ruan Li , Zhang Tao
Published: September 2024

Background: Phosphorus metabolism might be associated with tumor initiation and progression. We aimed to screen out the phosphorus metabolism genes related to bladder cancer and construct a clinical prognosis model.
Methods: The dataset used for the analysis was obtained from TCGA database. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses were subsequently applied to differentially expressed genes. Consensus clustering was utilized, and different clusters of the tumor immune microenvironment and other features were compared. The phosphorus metabolism-related genes involved in prognosis were screened out by univariate Cox regression, LASSO regression and multivariate Cox regression analysis, and a nomogram was constructed. The performance of the nomogram was validated using TCGA dataset and the GEO dataset, respectively.
Results: Overall, 405 phosphorus metabolism-related differentially expressed genes from TCGA database were identified, which were associated with phosphorylation, cell proliferation, leukocyte activation, and signaling pathways. Two clusters were obtained by consistent clustering. After tumor immune microenvironment analysis, significant differences in immune cell infiltration between cluster 1 and cluster 2 were found. Four phosphorus metabolism-related genes (LIME1, LRP8, SPDYA, and MST1R) were associated with the prognosis of bladder cancer (BLCA) patients. We built a prognostic model and visualized the model as a nomogram. Calibration curves demonstrated the performance of this nomogram, in agreement with that shown by the ROC curves.
Conclusion: We successfully identified four phosphorus metabolism-related genes associated with prognosis, providing potential targets for biomarkers and therapeutics. A nomogram based on these genes was developed. Nevertheless, this study is based on bioinformatics, and experimental validation remains essential.

Published: September 2024

Background: One of the upcoming challenges in hospital accreditation is using the same and similar standards for all types of hospitals in size and type of activity. We aimed to identify the accreditation modules for all types of hospitals in size (small hospitals) and type of activity (special hospitals).
Methods: This research was conducted as a scoping review from Mar to May 2023. "Arsky and O'Malley" six-step protocol was used to conduct this study. "Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses" (PRISMA) was used to identify, evaluate, and select research articles. The "framework analysis" method was used to analyze the data.
Results: Of 14 articles, 64% have been published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Moreover, 36% of them were accreditation organizations' standards at the national level. The accreditation modules of small hospitals are Responsibilities of Management, Care of Patients, Management of Medication, Patient Safety, Infection Control, Continuous Quality Improvement, Patient Rights and Education, Blood and Blood Products, and Partnering with Consumers. The accreditation modules of special hospitals are Governing Body and Administration, Clinical Management, Prevention and Health, Care and Treatment, Diagnostic Services, Patient Rights, and Quality Improvement.
Conclusion: Identifying the main modules of accreditation for small and special hospitals can help policymakers and hospital managers improve the quality and safety of their hospitals by using appropriate standards and help improve the services provided to patients and increase their satisfaction.
Significance of FSHR and LHCGR gene polymorphisms on clinical outcomes in gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist protocol with freeze-all strategy: A case-control study
Authors: Amin Jayesh , Alle Naga Sandhya , Patel Ami , Prajapathi Bansi , Makwana Paresh , Prakash Jaya , Krishna Kota Murali
Published: September 2024

Background: Follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) and luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor (LHCGR) are integral to ovarian function, facilitating follicle development and maturation through their respective hormonal interactions. The influence of receptor polymorphisms on the outcomes of freeze-all cycles remains unclear.
Objective: This study investigates the impact of FSHR N680S and LHCGR N312S polymorphisms on clinical outcomes in freeze-all cycles.
Materials and Methods: Women undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation for assisted reproductive technology participated in this study. They were administered a gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist protocol, with recombinant folliclestimulating hormone (rFSH) dosages adjusted according to age, body mass index, antral follicle count, and individual hormonal responses. Additionally, human menopausal gonadotropin dosages were tailored based on the LHCGR N312S genetic variant.
Results: Analysis revealed no significant differences in age, body mass index, antral follicle count, or marital status across the genotypes of FSHR N680S and LHCGR N312S. However, notable differences were observed in the rFSH dosage required daily and in total among the FSHR polymorphism genotypes. Genotypes of the LHCGR polymorphism correlated with fewer stimulation days. A significant interaction was observed between the 2 polymorphisms concerning total rFSH dosage.
Conclusion: The presence of serine in the FSHR polymorphism was associated with higher rFSH dosage requirements. Both FSHR N680S and LHCGR N312S polymorphisms significantly influenced clinical pregnancy and live birth outcomes in freeze-all cycles, underscoring the potential of a pharmacogenomic approach to optimize hormone supplementation in controlled ovarian stimulation protocols during assisted reproductive technology treatments.
Key words: LHCGR, FSHR, Polymorphism.

Evaluation of Co-toxicity Coefficient for Combined Impact of Botanicals with Spinosad against Pulse Beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus in stored Blackgram
Authors: Satwika Maharaj , Madhumathi Tirumalasetty , Kumari Bhimineni Ratna , Kumari V. Prasanna
Published: September 2024

Background: Blackgram is an important pulse crop in India, but storage pests such as Callosobruchus maculatus can cause severe damage. Synthetic insecticides are commonly used to manage these pests, but mixing them with food grains is not recommended. Instead, safer alternatives like botanicals can be used. However, botanical powders have a short post-application duration, which reduces their effectiveness. To enhance their efficacy, spinosad can be combined with botanical powders, resulting in a cost-effective and long-lasting solution. This study aims to evaluate the toxicity of this combination against C. maculatus. Methods: Botanicals like sweet flag powder and neem kernel powder were used in the experiment. Spinosad was mixed with these treatments and was used for the bio-assay with one-day-old adults of C. maculatus by mixing with blackgram seed. Mortality data were recorded at 1,2,3,5 and 7 days after the release of the test insect to calculate LD50 and other parameters for botanicals in combination with spinosad. Result: The highest co-toxicity coefficient was recorded for sweet flag powder (141.17) than neem kernel powder. Compared to neem kernel powder, sweet flag powder enhanced the mortality rate when combined with spinosad. Hence, a combination of sweet flag powder and spinosad is recommended for the control of C. maculatus.

Authors: Barker Chikira H. , Gibson Justin , Tusa Rose , Pearson Charlotte , Mack Aaron , Sukhdeo Sydney , Bailey Rahn K.
Published: September 2024

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) most commonly occurs during adolescence, and it represents one of the highest risk factors for future suicidal behaviors. Understanding the prevalence, risk factors, and effective treatments in high-risk groups, such as adolescents who are criminally incarcerated, is of substantial importance. A systematic review was conducted on articles related to NSSI in incarcerated adolescents. The results of the meta-analysis found that the pooled estimated prevalence of NSSI in this population is 28% (95% CI: 0.21–0.36). Studies varied in their methods of measuring NSSI, with some relying on medical record reviews, unstandardized assessments, or standardized assessments. Several demographic, social, psychiatric, and interpersonal factors were noted to increase risk. No studies in this review evaluated the efficacy of treatments for NSSI with this population. The results indicate a need for further research to evaluate treatment efficacy and highlight the widely varying methodologies used in studies of NSSI among currently incarcerated juveniles.

The Powers of The Soul in Late Franciscan Thought: The Case of Peter of Trabibus
Authors: Silva José Filipe , Vaura Tuomas
Published: September 2024

In the late medieval period, the issue of the composed nature of human beings and its relation to medieval faculty psychology became central. There is ample scholarship on this topic, focusing primarily on authors such as the Dominicans Albert the Great and Thomas Aquinas, and the Franciscans Alexander of Hales, Hugh of St. Cher, John of La Rochelle, and Peter John Olivi. In this paper, we want to examine the view of one of Olivi’s disciples, the Franciscan theologian Peter of Trabibus (fl. 1290s), on the unity of the human soul and the nature of its powers, especially the powers of the intellect and the will.  We are particularly interested in his application of the principle of plurality of substantial forms to explain the nature of the relation between the powers of the soul and its essence.
The Late Medieval Debate about the Nature of Phenomenal Reality in Franciscan Theology and Islamic Thought and its Greek Sources
Authors: Bychkov Oleg
Published: September 2024

The tendency to question the accuracy of sensory perception is found in various medieval theological traditions, including Franciscan and Islamic. In both these traditions, the source of the idea that we cannot trust our sensory perception seems to have been the Greek commentaries on Aristotle. However, both traditions go beyond ideas contained in Greek Aristotelian literature and independently develop similar arguments and come to similar conclusions about the reliability of sensory perception.
William of Ockham and Walter Chatton on Sensory Powers and the Materiality of Sensation
Authors: Lavender Jordan
Published: September 2024

While many thirteenth-century scholastic philosophers thought that the human powers of sensation are distinct from the human intellect, this apparent consensus collapsed in the 1320s, ‘30s, and ‘40s. The proximate cause of this transformation was Walter Chatton’s rejection of William of Ockham’s arguments that the human powers of sensation are distinct from the human intellect. This article examines Chatton’s implicit and explicit motivations for rejecting Ockham’s arguments. I show that Ockham thinks that the senses are distinct from the intellect because he holds that sensing is material and embodied in a way that thinking is not. I show that Chatton, on the other hand, sees no need to posit such a difference between sensation and thought with respect to materiality or embodiment because he thinks that nothing about the character of sensory experience shows it to be material or embodied in a way that thinking is not.
The Two-Wills Theory in the Franciscan Tradition: Questioning an Anselmian Legacy
Authors: Schumacher Lydia
Published: September 2024

The medieval Franciscan John Duns Scotus famously distinguished between two different wills, which are characterized by an affection for advantage or happiness and an affection for justice. He identified the source of his theory in the earlier medieval thinker, Anselm of Canterbury, who first articulated the distinction. This article will demonstrate, however, that there is significant disparity between Anselm and Scotus’ understanding of the two wills. To this end, the article will explore the two wills theory articulated by Scotus’ predecessors, Alexander of Hales and John of La Rochelle, who together composed the so-called Summa Halensis, the founding text of the Franciscan intellectual tradition. These authors drew on John of Damascus’ distinction between thelesis and boulesis to delineate the theory that Scotus attributed to Anselm. However, their theory was just as distant from the Damascene’s original understanding as Scotus’ was from Anselm. In demonstrating this, the article seeks to highlight the originality of the Franciscan theory while at the same time allowing its sources to be interpreted on their own terms.
V.L. Gordin. From Chaos to the Invention of the Universe

The publication consists of two parts: an introduction to the problems of researching W.L. Gordin’s creative legacy and a translation of his article, published in 1934 in in E. Armand’s French anarcho-individualist journal “L’en dehors”, from French into Russian. Authors emphasize that it is impossible to write the biography of the Russian thinker until the emigrant period of his life is studied. In addition, the introduction provides the reader with a review of publications on the work of V.L. Gordin from 2014 to 2024. The conclusion is made about the rapid growth of interest among philosophers, historians and art historians in the ideas of the thinker. The authors also insist on the necessary integration of expert groups into a single community of researchers.

Protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) are crucial for cancer growth and metastasis. Vitamin B3, a key precursor of NAD + and NADP+, however its epigenetic functions in physiology and disease remain unclear. Herein we report a nicotinic acid (NA), a component of vitamin B3, induces a histone PTM, lysine nicotinylation (Knic), and demonstrate 17 Knic site across core histones in cells. Tandem mass spectrometry and stable isotope tracing revealed that NA-derived nicotinyl-CoA, catalysed by ACSS2, enhances histone Knic in vivo and in vitro. Analysis of chromatin accessibility revealed that histone Knic downregulates chromatin accessibility and therefore inhibits gene expression, for instance, restrain the binding of transcription factor HOXB9 to the promoter of oncogene PPFIA1. PPFIA1 level is correlated with malignancy and poor prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma. These findings suggest that vitamin B3 supplementation may affects the chromatin accessibility depending on its composition. Collectively, we propose that NA induces histone Knic, a histone mark controlling gene expression.

Influenza vaccine effectiveness and immunogenicity can be compromised with repeated vaccination. We assessed immunological markers in a cohort of healthcare workers (HCW) from six public hospitals around Australia during 2020–2021. Sera were collected pre-vaccination and ~ 14 and ~ 180 days post-vaccination and assessed in haemagglutination inhibition assay against egg-grown vaccine and equivalent cell-grown viruses. Responses to vaccination were compared by the number of prior vaccinations. Baseline sera were available for 595 HCW in 2020 and 1031 in 2021. 5% had not been vaccinated during five years prior to enrolment and 55% had been vaccinated every year. Post-vaccination titres for all vaccine antigens were lowest among HCW vaccinated in all 5-prior years and highest among HCW with 0 or 1 prior vaccinations, even after adjustment. This was observed for both influenza A subtypes and was dependent on pre-vaccination titre. Expanded cohorts are needed to better understand how this translates to vaccine effectiveness.
Understanding the Impact of Literacy on Knowledge Gap and Behaviour Pattern among Diabetic Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Kaur Sandeep , Gupta G.D.
Published: September 2024

Background
Diabetes mellitus is a growing health concern affecting more than 6.2% of the global population.This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the association of knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of patients diagnosed with type II diabetes mellitus (DM II) with demographic and clinical variables in Punjab, India, focusing on education to understanding knowledge gap and behavioral pattern of patients influencing prevention and control of disease.
Methods
The study was conducted from March 2022 to September 2023 at three outpatient clinics in Punjab.Data were collected through a modified questionnaire, covering demographic profiles and KAP variablesusing non-probability purposive sampling of 500 respondents with SPSS software.
Results
The study analyzed 500 patients (197 females, 303 males) aged 31–90 years. Key findings revealed that knowledge scores were higher in males (33.7%), married individuals (32.3%), degree holders (60.0%), and insured patients (40.9%). Attitude scores were better in males (50.2%), degree holders (75.3%), and insured patients (57.9%). Practice scores were higher among females (25.9%), unmarried (43.3%), and insured patients (23.2%). Significant predictors of high KAP scores included education, patient history, blood sugar levels, clinic visits, marital status, occupation, health insurance, and physical activity. Education status had a substantial impact on all KAP scores.
Conclusion
This study highlights disparities in knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to DM II management among patients in North India. Addressing these disparities through targeted interventions, community-based programs, and improved healthcare accessibility is crucial for promoting positive outcomes in diabetes mellitus.
