PendahuluanGlobalisasi suatu proses perubahan nilai-nilai, norma, gagasan, ide, pemikiran, yang sifatnya menyeluruh mendunia yang terjadi melalui proses interaksi dan komunikasi antar individu-individu dalam lintas batas negara yang mana proses perubahan tersebut terjadi secara intens dan tanpa sekat perubahan tata nilai dan sikap masyarakat yang semula irasional menjadi rasional; berkembangnya ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi memberikan kemudahan kepada masyarakat dalam beraktivitas; dan mendorong untuk berpikir lebih maju dan tingkat kehidupan Globalisasi menyebabkan unsur-unsur baru baik pemikiran, gaya hidup, informasi maupun teknologi mendunia, menembus batas negara Arus globalisasi telah melanda di berbagai penjuru dunia. Globalisasi memiliki dampak positif maupun dampak negatif. Salah satu dampaknya terjadi pada bidang sosial dan budaya suatu bangsa. Awalnya, globalisasi hanya dapat dirasakan di beberapa kota besar yang ada di Indonesia. Namun, seiring dengan kemajuan teknologi, komunikasi, informasi dan transportasi, globalisasi akhirnya telah menyebar ke berbagai wilayah di Indonesia. Terutama di tengah lingkungan kita sendiri perubahan sosial yang terjadi di sekitar kita sangat merosot karena Globalisasi yang ada contoh pada zaman dahulu masyarakat saat beraktivitas mau berpergian harus jalan kaki atau naik kuda tapi sekarang sudah bedah lagi sudah menggunakan kendaraan motor atau mobil perubahan yang terjadi di masyarakat.

Kesimpulan : Banyak dari para Balita yang terjangkit penyakit ini dikarenakan lingkungan serta orang disekiarnya yang masih awam serta acuh.
Covid-19 Spillover Effects onto General Vaccine Attitudes
Authors: Trujillo Kristin Lunz , Green Jon , Safarpour Alauna , Lazer David , Lin Jennifer , Motta Matthew
Published: October 2022

Even amid the unprecedented public health challenges attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic, opposition to vaccinating against the novel coronavirus has been both prevalent and politically contentious in American public life. In this paper, we theorize that attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination might "spill over" to shape attitudes toward “post-pandemic” vaccination programs and policy mandates for years to come. We find this to be the case using evidence from a large, original panel study, as well as two observational surveys, conducted on American adults during the pandemic. Specifically, we observe evidence of COVID-19 vaccine spillover onto general vaccine skepticism, flu shot intention, and attitudes toward hypothetical vaccines (i.e., vaccines in development), which do not have pre-existing attitudinal connotations. Further, these spillover effects vary by partisanship and COVID-19 vaccination status, with the political left and those who received two or more COVID-19 vaccine doses becoming more pro-vaccine, while the political right and the unvaccinated became more anti-vaccine. Taken together, these results point to the salience and politicization of the COVID-19 vaccine impacting non-COVID vaccine attitudes. We end by discussing the implications of this study for effective health messaging.

Published: October 2022

There is a known relationship between LEGO® construction ability and mathematics performance, yet the mechanisms which drive this relationship are largely unknown. This study investigated the spatial mechanisms underlying this association, and whether this differs for concrete vs. digital construction. Children aged 7-9 years (N=358) completed spatial and mathematics tasks, and either a concrete or digital Lego construction task. Mediation analyses examining direct and indirect pathways (through spatial skills) between Lego construction ability and mathematics explained 8.2% to 26.5% of variance in mathematics scores. Exploratory moderated mediation analyses revealed that only the indirect path through mental rotation differed between Lego conditions. Findings are discussed in relation to: theories of spatial-numerical associations; and consideration of Lego training, for mathematics improvement.
Stroop Effect in Multi-Modal Sight Translation
Authors: Bhattacharya Sunit , Zouhar Vilém , Kloudová Věra , Bojar Ondřej
Published: October 2022

This study investigates the human translation process from English to Czech in a multi-modal scenario (images) using reaction times. We make a distinction between ambiguous and unambiguous sentences where in the former, more information would be needed in order to make a proper translation (e.g. gender of the subject). Simultaneously, we also provide visual aid to help in disambiguation, which is necessary for the ambiguous sentences. We confirm that ambiguous sentences take longer to translate and the provision of disambiguating visual aid slows the translation process. When provided with an unrelated visual aid, humans are able to recognize and spend less time on it but still significantly more than in other conditions. These findings are a clear manifestation of the Stroop effect (longer processing times for incongruent combinations).
Preferred and Actual Interbirth Intervals in Women with Multiple-Partner Fertility
Authors: Gunst Annika , Pinchuk Kateryna , Sjöström Elin , Antfolk Jan
Published: October 2022

Objective: Mothers with multiple-partner fertility have longer interbirth intervals (IBI) than mothers with single-partner fertility, suggesting that partner change makes it harder to achieve preferred birth spacing and family planning. Previous studies have, however, overlooked possible differences in preferred IBI length. Here, we investigated how partner change between the first and second child moderates the association between preferred and actual IBI.Methods: We used retrospective self-report survey data from 728 mothers living in Finland with at least two children.Results: Mothers with multiple-partner fertility had longer actual IBIs (35 months) than mothers with single-partner fertility (89 months). We found a weaker association between preferred and actual IBI length in mothers with multiple-partner fertility compared to mothers with single-partner fertility when controlling for maternal age, miscarriages, abortions, and in-vitro fertilization. Conclusions: Our findings support the notion that multiple-partner fertility makes it harder for mothers to achieve their preferred birth spacing, as partner change is associated with considerably longer IBIs. The increased discrepancy in preferred and actual IBIs in mothers with multiple-partner fertility should be considered both in family planning and future studies.
Sexual behaviors and desires of inmates in a Finnish prison – a survey study with population-based comparisons
Authors: Gunst Annika , Ryömä Irmeli , Andersson Madeleine , Laine Mari , jern patrick
Published: October 2022

Using paper surveys, we investigated sexual behaviors and desires of 181 inmates in a Finnish prison. Conjugal visits, sexual desire, and gender were the strongest predictors of sexual activity. Reports of coercive experiences were somewhat less prevalent compared to foreign studies. Compared with population-based data, prisoners reported fewer partnered behaviors, although their desires for these activities were similar. The masturbation frequency did not differ between the two populations; men generally masturbated more than they desired. Male prisoners who reported more masturbation also reported lower wellbeing. Our results can be used to guide prisoner staff on topics relevant to prisoner sexuality.
Does proactively asking about allergens before ordering improve customer outcomes? An in-business randomised controlled trial

Published: October 2022

BackgroundConsumers with food hypersensitivies need information about allergens when dining out, but may be dissuaded from seeking it. Following on from a successful feasibility trial, the Food Standards Agency commissioned the Behavioural Practice to run a full randomised controlled trial, to test whether Food Business Operator (FBO) staff proactively asking about allergens would increase customers’ confidence that they have the information they need, comfort to ask next time, and their perceptions of food safety.MethodsWe ran a cluster RCT with a matched pairs design to test the efficacy of proactive allergens information communication in 18 branches of a national FBO. Staff in half of those branches were told to ask “Do you have any food allergies or intolerances?” before customers placed their order. Staff in the other half of the branches carried on with usual practice. Participants were customers who entered the FBO from 28th March to 30th June 2022, who placed a food order at the till, and who chose to complete a voluntary survey about their experience.ResultsThere were 395 completed surveys in the treatment arm and 541 in the control arm, of which 154 surveys in the treatment arm and 376 in the control arm received the correct intervention for their arm and were entered into our pre-registered per protocol analysis. Results showed that proactively asking about customer’s food hypersensitivities increased their confidence in their ability to avoid ingredients (β = 0.26, p < 0.01) and comfort asking about ingredients on a future visit (β = 0.36, p < 0.001). However, the intervention did not have an effect on customers’ level of concern regarding the safety of the food that is sold in the FBO (β = -0.02, p = 0.920). The intervention also led to increased customer satisfaction on three metrics.ConclusionsProactively asking about allergens can increase customers’ confidence that they have the information they need and comfort to ask next time, while also increasing satisfaction in the food business, but it did not increase perceptions of food safety.

Biomedical publishing is valuable as it is the process of disseminating novel and valuable scientific information. The publication of an article relies mainly on the peer review process that has been regarded as a gold standard for a long time. Despite being successful, the process has had a fair share of criticism. There is a need for considering some reforms in terms of transparency, accountability, and quality for this process. In this review, we aim to bring forward some criticism and provide recommendations for improvement of the peer-review process.

Published: October 2022

E-wallet is an electronic wallet that can be used as an integrated payment instrument. In addition, because of the development of this technology, many people have become experts in a cashless society, which means that people rarely use cash in making transactions and then replace it with an e-wallet. DANA application is a platform in the form of a digital wallet that is created to facilitate every transaction that will be carried out by the community. For this reason, this study aims to determine what factors affect people's satisfaction in the city of Manado for users who used it. The method used by researchers to obtain data in the measurement is by distributing questionnaires to the people of the city of Manado. And measure it with the M-S-Qual method which consists of nine variables, namely efficiency, system availability, content, privacy, fulfillment, responsiveness, contact, compensation, and payment. By taking a sample of 135 respondents in filling out the questionnaire and using the multiple regression analysis formula with a p-value of 0.05, the research uses a quantitative approach. The results of the calculation of the hypothesis test using SPSS 26.0 software, it turns out that compensation, contact, payment has a number > 0.05 for the p-value so that the hypothesis is rejected. And for the dimensions of efficiency, system availability, content, privacy, compliance, responsiveness has an influence with a number <0.05 for the p-value so that the hypothesis is accepted.

Published: October 2022

This research aimed to analyze the exemplary values in 'Lencana Alia' story book by Esti Asmala. This research was carried out with a qualitative method. The result revealed that Asmala combined symbolic modeling technique and positive reinforcement to give an understanding of exemplary values that children can practice. The symbolic modeling technique included the character activities that showed some moral values such as independence, cleanliness, responsibility, commitment, social care, and honesty. Then, an example of positive reinforcement was given to encourage children in the form of a badge based on the character they successfully played. Besides, children were also taught to recognize critical situations to see a situation that is more appropriate or favorable to their ego.

Published: October 2022

Drawing from a sample of 534 college students from a small private collegeand a large public university in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, this study investigates the effectsof personality traits, measured by the Big Five (neuroticism, extroversion, opennessto experience, agreeableness, and conscientiousness), Core Self-evaluation (locusof control, neuroticism, self-efficacy, and self-esteem), and Grit (loosely definedas enthusiasm and resilience), on academic performance. Controlling for socioeconomic status, we find that a one-standard deviation increase in conscientiousnessis associated with a 2.8% increase in Graduate-Point Average (GPA). Additionally, aone-standard deviation increase in Grit is associated with an increase of 1.8% in GPA.Moreover, we also find that extroversion and agreeableness are negatively relatedto academic performance. These results suggest that investing in some specificpersonality traits, such as Grit and conscientiousness can have significant payoffsin terms of academic performance.

In Pakistan, the first confirmed case of COVID-19 was reported on 26 February 2020, having the travel history from Iran. Islamabad and Rawalpindi have also been affected by COVID-19 epidemic. On 23 March 2020, the Government of Pakistan has declared smart lockdown all over the country including Islamabad and Rawalpindi. The aim of the study was to identify the status of the knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding COVID-19 among the general population of the twin cities (Islamabad and Rawalpindi) in Pakistan during the COVID-19 outbreak. A cross-sectional web-based survey was conducted from 5 to 19 May 2020, the week during smart lockdown in Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Demographic characteristics were compared with independent-samples t-test, one-way, or Chi-square test. Multivariable linear regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with low knowledge score. Data analyses were conducted with SPSS version 21.0. A total of 1,282 participants completed the questionnaire. Among this final sample, the average age was 30.65 years. Among the survey respondents, 680 (53%) were women, 1096 (86%) held a bachelor’s degree or above, 634 (50%) were engaged with the government and private sector and 606 (47%) were married. The overall correct rate of knowledge was 70%. The majority of the respondents agreed that COVID-19 will finally be successfully controlled (59%). Most of the participants had not visited any crowded place (74%) and 95% responded that they have reduced their outdoor activities. In response to precaution measures, 86% stated that they would isolate themselves if they ever felt a fever or cough. The study findings suggest that residents of the two cities have reasonable levels of knowledge on COVID-19. However, it is necessary to launch health education and awareness campaigns to improve the knowledge and practices about COVID-19, to control its transmission.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), poliomyelitis (polio) is a highly infectious viral disease that largely affects children under 5 years of age. In August 2020, Nigeria was declared free of the wild poliovirus by the WHO and United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF). This review assesses the available evidence on issues with Nigeria’s efforts and challenges towards the fight against poliomyelitis such as the wild poliovirus (WPV) and vaccine-derived poliovirus (VDPV). Published grey literature was assessed to make this mini-review. No restriction on publication dates was applied during the literature search. Available data showed efforts such as strong government accountability framework; introduction of geographic information systems to ensure more efficient utilization of resources and coverage; the digitalization of vaccine delivery; optimal utilization of disease notification officers (DNOs) at every unit of the local government; commitment of resources from the federal government to states that were prone to the reoccurrence of Polio; improved social mobilization, supervision, and monitoring; as well as assistance from international organizations were deplored. Some of the notable challenges faced with the eradication of polio include the refusal of parents to consent to vaccinations for their children, reoccurrences due to poor supplies of potable water, religious bias from the northern region, differential routines, and supplemental immunization coverage. The lessons learned in polio eradication can be channeled into the elimination of other diseases, but efforts must be in place to continue to monitor the reoccurrence of polio and other emerging diseases through surveillance systems.

Introduction: Since the start of pandemic new variants have been evolving and moving from one country to another either by air travel or ground crossings.Objective: To find out factors associated with noncompliance of recommended guidelines by international passengers so that we can improve the arrangements at airports where required, improve future preparedness, and give recommendations to concerned authorities for improvement in enforcing guidelines.Methodology: A cross-sectional study was carried out at Islamabad International Airport during the months of June and July 2021. The study population included international arriving passengers aged 12 years and above. Questions were asked about following guidelines before boarding, on board, and after disembarkation. Twenty questions were asked to assess compliance level. A median cut off value was set for assessment of noncompliance.Results: The male to female ratio was 1:1. The age range was 12 – 75 years. The odds of noncompliance to guidelines was higher in females compared to males. The results revealed a significant association between region of arrival of respondents and noncompliance. Passengers arriving from Afghanistan, France , UK and USA were more likely to be noncompliant to guidelines (p-value = 0.00). There was a significant association between occupation of participants and noncompliance. Housewives and retired were more likely to be noncompliant (p-value = 0.00). A significant association was observed between vaccinated people and noncompliance.Conclusion: Travelers arriving from some specific countries were noncompliant to guidelines. Vaccinated were most noncompliant which indicates still we need to work on awareness and need legislations, fines or travel restrictions to noncompliant travellers.

As in previous measles outbreaks amongst displaced populations, a mass vaccination campaign played a foundational role in curbing the described outbreak.
Strengthening Tuberculosis Diagnostics and Healthcare Amidst COVID-19: A Call to Action
Authors: Elebesunu Emmanuel Ebuka , Ani Emmanuel Chisom , Anyabolo Ekene Emmanuel , Onyemeh Tobenna Anthony , Obeta Odinaka Kingsley
Published: October 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has impeded various health systems worldwide, causing a decline in the surveillance, diagnosis and treatment of various other infectious diseases, including major diseases like Tuberculosis. The challenges associated with the pandemic have adversely impacted tuberculosis control efforts globally, resulting in a decline in tuberculosis detection, surveillance and healthcare provision. This is attributed to the redirection of diagnostic, healthcare and treatment services to the COVID-19 response, and the persistence of public stigma towards tuberculosis and COVID-19 patients, amongst other challenges. To avoid a further decline in tuberculosis control efforts, the necessary approaches recommended include improvement of tuberculosis detection by employing rapid diagnostic techniques, upgrading of treatment administration to reduce the risk of transmission and drug resistance, engagement of governments, policymakers and non-governmental bodies on the need for enhanced tuberculosis eradication strategies, and implementation of awareness campaigns to reduce the associated public stigma. As tuberculosis has remained a major public health threat over the years, it is pertinent to minimize the impediments and ensure continuity of global tuberculosis control efforts amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. This will ensure progress in line with the World Health Organization’s global strategy to end tuberculosis.

Published: October 2022

Lassa fever is a viral haemorraghic fever, accounting for about 5,000-10,000 deaths annually. The disease is endemic in West-Africa with seasonal epidemics. We proposed that with the use of mathematical modelling studies, we can predict accurately when the outbreak will likely occur by computing the infectivity rate, weather patterns and population of rodents. With this, adequate preventive measures and public health control interventions can be put in place to prevent the outbreak. This necessitates the need for more policy-relevant mathematical modelling studies on Lassa Fever, starting with building capacity in sub-Saharan Africa, where the disease is prevalent.
Émigrés and Migrations during the French Revolution
Authors: Kramer Lloyd
Published: October 2022

The French Revolution profoundly influenced many of the ideas and institutions that created the modern world. This far-reaching revolutionary upheaval drew widely on eighteenth-century Enlightenment culture to construct and spread modern ideas about human rights, republicanism, legal equality, nationalism, and the value of scientific knowledge. At the same time, France’s revolutionary leaders began to create new institutions that France and other modern countries would use to develop large state bureaucracies, mass conscription armies, centralized monetary and taxation systems, nationwide legal codes and police surveillance, carefully orchestrated public rituals, and new plans for public education.
A “Whirlpool of Gain”
Authors: Polasky Janet
Published: October 2022

The thousands of aristocratic emigrants from revolutionary France who found asylum in the independent German city city-state of Hamburg and the neighboring Danish city of Altona were not the only immigrants arriving in the neutral ports. Alongside these flamboyant newcomers, merchants, scholars, artisans, and others continued, as they had for decades, to come in pursuit of the economic opportunities denied them at home. With harbors on the Elbe River just downstream from the North Sea, the two cosmopolitan port cities flourished as wars and revolution roiled the rest of Europe. Diplomatically neutral and open to trade, these two cities opened their doors to newcomers from around the world. Over the decade, the aristocrats, who thought themselves cosmopolitan, tested their welcome in the prosperous ports with no native nobility. While most of the newcomers assimilated readily, contributing to the ports’ prosperity, the aristocrats left to reclaim what remained of their estates.
La educación religiosa escolar en la historia de Colombia: breve síntesis

Published: October 2022

En el siglo XX, desde la perspectiva occidental, se producen dos grandes transformaciones culturales. La primera se relaciona con el apuntalamiento del paradigma mecanicista, atomista y pragmático, cuyas consecuencias son la estandarización de los saberes y disciplinas, así como la fragmentación de la vida del hombre en lo económico, lo social, lo personal, lo comunicativo, lo religioso y lo cultural; esta fragmentación, cuando menos, se manifiesta en una multipertenencia que hace al sujeto ser uno en el trabajo, otro en el hogar, otro en las relaciones sociales, otro en la política, otro en las relaciones espirituales y comunicativas.
Devenir: llegar a ser constante. Un ya pero todavía no de la tarea educativa
Authors: Gómez Salazar Elkin Alonso
Published: October 2022

La educación es una gran obra de arte que no puede ser sostenida y completada por una sola cultura educativa. No es suficiente la solicitud consciente de una institución si las demás permanecen indiferentes o, peor aún, si se convierten en agentes de des-educación. Asimismo, es concebible que la formación de la personalidad del educando se vea perjudicada por el contraste entre distintas instituciones,por su neutralidad en los valores fundamentales, por su cuestionamiento de la forma educativa, por su incapacidad de ofrecer personas y criterios de referencia.
Rassistische Gewalt als Erfahrung der Markierung und Unsichtbarmachung
Authors: Köbberling Gesa
Published: October 2022

Gewalt ist konstitutiver Bestandteil von Rechtsextremismus. Ein umfassendes Verständnis rechter und rassistischer Gewalt erfordert die Perspektive von Betroffenen auf das Gewaltgeschehen. Dieser Beitrag zielt auf das Verständnis der zentralen Erlebensdimensionen rassistischer Gewalt sowie der Umgangsstrategien von Betroffenen mit der erlebten Gewalt. Es werden zwei qualitative Interviews mit Betroffener rassistischer Gewalt analysiert. Es wird gezeigt, dass die Erfahrung der gewaltvollen Markierung sowie Prozesse der Unsichtbarmachung der Betroffenen und ihrer Gewalterfahrung als wesentliche Dimension rassistischer Gewalt beschrieben werden kann. Entsprechend können Kämpfe Betroffener um selbstbestimmte Sichtbarkeit als wesentlicher Teil der Bewältigung der Gewalt verstanden werden. Mit diesen Befunden kann auf den Forschungsstand der englischsprachigen Forschung zum Erleben von hate crimes aufgebaut werden. Es werden Anschlüsse zur Rassismusforschung hergestellt, in der die Unterdrückung von Wissen über Rassismus als epistemische Gewalt gefasst wird.

Authors: Li Liu , Ling Fusong
Published: October 2022

To solve the problem that the current deep learning method is difficult to deal with the recognition of nested entities in Chinese medical text, a deep learning model based on word-word relationship is introduced, and the relationship between words is built by multi-granularity 2D graphs to improve the recognition of nested entities. First, we use BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representation from Transformers) for pre-training, then we use BiLSTM (directional Long Short-Term Memory) to extract the context information. Then, we merge the token representation information, the word distance information and the word regional information, through use a multi-granularity hole convolution to obtain the role information of different words. Finally, we use decoding layer to predict entity relationships and decode the result. This model is tested on the CMeEE Chinese medical dataset. Compared with the popularity models such as BiLSTM-CRF (Conditional Random Field) and BERT-BiLSTM-CRF, the F1 value is improved by 2.52%. Experimental results show that for Chinese medical named entity recognition with nested entities, this model can better recognize the medical entities in Chinese medical text.

Psychological Consultation System Based on Intelligent Optimization Algorithm
Authors: Yao Jinghong
Published: October 2022

Due to the increasing pressure of social competition, the fierce conflicts of various values during the social transformation, the complex interpersonal relationships, and the continuous and normalized development of the epidemic, etc., the emergence of mental health problems of college students has been exacerbated. And the various psychological symptoms produced in the process of life continue to increase. The mental health problems of college students have a deepening trend, becoming an important social problem. In response to this situation, we must come up with corresponding solutions to effectively guide and control the various adverse effects of college students due to mental health problems. To this end, a psychological consultation system is designed, and colleges and universities can use this system to provide psychological consultation for students. In the system design, the PSO algorithm of the intelligent optimization algorithm is introduced to optimize the system performance, and through the improvement of the performance, it can better provide consulting services for students. Comparing the performance before and after optimization of the algorithm proves the effectiveness of the PSO algorithm in improving the performance. The results of the system satisfaction survey also verify that the system in this paper meets the needs of students for psychological education counseling.

The term “wild pig” generically represents animals of the species Sus scrofa scrofa, which are kept in the wild, popularly known as “Boars”. Due to the wide distribution of wild pigs in the Brazilian territory, there is a growing demand for their population control and monitoring of their potential as source of diseases to domestic animals and humans. In this sense, the objective of this work was to determine the presence of parasites wild pigs captured in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. External inspection, necropsy and coproparasitological analyzes were carried out in 26 animals, including the analysis of feces by centrifugal-flotation, simple sedimentation and McMaster (OPG), as well as identification of endo and ectoparasites. The external inspection identified two ectoparasites (Rhipicephalus microplus and Haematopinus sp.) in 26.9% (7/26) of the captured animals. From the necropsy, two endoparasites (Strobilocerco of Taenia hydatigena and Macracanthorhynchus sp.) were identified in 19.2% (5/26) of the animals. Of the fecal samples analyzed, 57.7% (16/26) were positive in the coproparasitological analyses. The results obtained suggest that wild pigs act as reservoirs of parasites relevant to animal and human health. These findings reinforce the importance of wild pigs’ population control in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, along with their sanitary monitoring.
