Published: January 2022

The mental health of pharmacy students has been poor compared to other disciplines and has led to personal and professional consequences. The study was conducted to assess the prevalence of mental health of pharmacy students. It includes 351 randomly selected pharmacy students from a College of Pharmacy located in South India. A self-administered questionnaire was used to elicit information from the respondents. A score of ≥ 3 suggested poor mental while a score < 3 represented good mental health. Data were summarized using proportions, and chi-square test was used to explore associations between categorical variables. Level of significance was set at p < 0.05. The mean age of the respondents was 23.4 ± 4.3 years, 63.8% were males, and 0.091% was from the sixth and 23.07% from the fourth year levels of study. Based on the results 39.2% had a poor mental health status, compared to 60.8% with good mental health status. The factors significantly associated with poor mental health, were recent experience of mistreatment by trainers or colleagues, perceived inadequate monthly allowance and perception that medical training is stressful (p < 0.05). More than third of undergraduate pharmacy students with traits of poor mental health, provision of accessible mental health services/counselling is strongly recommended early in their training. More than half of students were responded that, they lost their sleep over worry and they had a feeling that they couldn’t overcome difficulties.

جريمتا القوة الجنائية و الإرهاب في القانون السوري و السوداني : دراسة مقارنة في الفقه الإسلامي

A Summary of The Criminal Force and Terrorism's Research, a study in the light of Islamic jurisprudence and Syrian and Sudanese Laws.

This research handles the criminal force and terrorism in accordance with Islamic jurisprudence compared with the laws of Syria and Sudan.

It involves two matters: The first searches into the criminal force defined as using force against one's freedom to commit a crime, damage, bother, hurt or scare.

This crime has three comers: 1.

Physical done by using force against others.

2.

Incorporeal: the intention to hurt by force.

3.

Jural: this is the very textual law that condemns the act and penalizes the resultant.

Then the research pinpoints, abiding Islamic jurisprudehce, the punishment of committing the crime.

It is a penalty issued and judged only by the judicial authority because it is not detailed as Qisaas.

This punishment is issued by virtue of N.143 Sudanese and N.559 Syrian Law Articles.

The second probes terrorism defined as threatening others.

This also has three corners: 1- Physical as a process of threatening.

2- Incorporeal by the intention and will to commit the crime.

3- Jural as having a text condemns the act.

Then it shows, abiding Islamic jurisprudence, the punishment of the crime, which is issued and judged by the judicial authority by virtue of N.144 Sudanese and N.560-564 Syrian Law Articles

Indonesian development runs on the foundation of Indonesia's long-term vision, namely the realization of nation-states, modern Indonesia that is safe and peaceful, fair and democratic, and prosperous by upholding human values, independence and unity based on Pancasila and The 1945 Constitution. To realize this, education as a subsystem is one of the important aspects to be considered in its direction and purpose so that education is not merely an aspect of supporting Indonesia's development, but as a locomotive of development itself. Because in reality, education is one aspect of life that is run by being influenced by various external aspects that are interrelated with each other such as political, economic, socio-cultural, defense-security aspects, even ideology has a very strong influence on the continuity of education, and vice versa. This paper aims to find out how the Long Term Development Plan (RPJP) is specifically regarding national education between 2005-2010 and 2010-2025. To achieve this goal, the author uses content analysis research using written documents that have been used as guidelines to determine the direction of the Indonesian government's policy in realizing national development. The results of the research in this paper show that the development of national education in the future is based on the paradigm of developing Indonesian people as a whole. The humanitarian dimension includes the three most basic things, namely: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. This is based on the desire to realize the education system as a strong and authoritative social institution to empower all citizens of Indonesia to develop into quality human beings so that they are able and proactively respond to the challenges of an ever-changing era.

Sense of place and the city: the case of non-native residents in Lisbon
Authors: Tang Vicente , Acedo Albert , Painho Marco
Published: January 2022

When immigrants move to a new city, they tend to develop distinct relationships with the urban landscape, which in turn becomes the new setting of their routine-based activities that evolve over time. Previous works in environmental psychology have quantitatively examined non-native residents' development of sense of place towards their new environment. In this paper, we introduce the spatial perspective into studying the sense of place experienced by non-natives in an urban context. We study the person-place bonds, relationships, and feelings cultivated by non-native residents living in the city of Lisbon (Portugal) through an online map-based survey. Then, we carried out spatial analysis aimed at distinguishing and visualizing the different facets of sense of place developed by two participant groups: short-term residents and long-term residents. Results showed that while short-term residents reported bonds with places, long-term residents' senses of place were more intense and broader throughout the city. The correlations, associations, and relationships between participant groups and the dimensions of sense of place allowed us to observe features and patterns that were previously described in the literature, although adding the spatial lenses can potentially provide better insights for urban planning, community development, and inclusive policies.
Identifying regional variation in place visit behavior during a global pandemic
Authors: McKenzie Grant , Mwenda Kevin
Published: January 2022

The emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in 2019 lead to a global pandemic that altered the activity behavior of most people on our planet. While government regulations and public concern modified visitation patterns to places of interest, little research has examined the nuanced changes in the length of time someone spends at a place, nor the regional variability of these changes. In this work, we examine place visit duration in four major U.S. cities, identify which place types saw the largest and smallest changes, and quantify variation between cities. Furthermore, we identify socio-economic and demographic factors that contribute to changes in visit duration and demonstrate the varying influence of these factors by region. The results of our analysis indicate that the pandemic's impact on visiting behavior varies between cities, though there are commonalities found in certain types of places. Our findings suggest that places of interest within lower income communities experienced less change in visit duration than others. An increase in the percentage of younger, Black or Hispanic populations within a community also resulted in a smaller decrease in visit duration than in other communities. These findings offer insight into the factors that contribute to changes in visiting behavior and the resilience of communities to a global pandemic.

As researchers, we know that we cannot examine a phenomenon or a process alone, we should study the environment or other phenomena, which are connected to the topic of research. This is true of educational processes too and this is the reason why education is examined e. g. from economic, social, or territorial views. Roland Hegedűs's book on the topic of the performance of disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged students and the territorial perspective of their studies in secondary education and in higher education can be found in this research field.

Published: January 2022

Introduction: Cutaneous adverse drug reactions (CADRs) are one of the most common ADRs caused by drugs causing a lot of morbidity and mortality. The overall incidence of CADRs in developed countries is 1-3 %, while that in the developing countries is reported to be higher between 2 % and 5 %. Changes in drug metabolism drug interactions, oxidative stress, and various cytokines are the various factors that cause cutaneous adverse drug reactions. Aim and objective: This study aims to evaluate the patterns of CADRs, the causative drugs along with causality and severity assessment. Methods: A total of 50 Patients with cutaneous adverse drug reactions who were included in our last study attended skin OPD, VIMSAR Burla, from June 2018 to September 2018 and were analyzed for causality assessment using the WHO-UMC scale and severity assessment using  Hartwig and Siegel's scale. Results: Out of 50 patients, 48 % belong to the age group 21-40 years. Around 44 % of CADRs were fixed drug eruptions. NSAID was found to be the most offending drug and it contributed to a maximum of 32 % of ADRs. 16 % of ADRs were found to be caused by antitubercular drugs. Paracetamol was the key NSAID, contributing 87.5 % of ADRs. Causality was certain, probable, and possible for 8 %, 24 %, and 60 % of ADRs respectively. Severity was mild for 64 % and moderate for 34 % of ADRs. Conclusions: NSAID and antitubercular drugs are the commonest drugs causing CADRs. Fixed drug eruption is the most common CADRs and the commonest drug was paracetamol. Causality grade was possible and the severity grade was mild.

Ofloxacin/ tinidazole induced fixed drug eruption- a case report
Authors: Monika Kapoor
Published: January 2022

Introduction: An immunological cutaneous adverse drug reaction is distinguished as sharply defined lesions with red rashes and sharp borders, erythematous lesions with or without blisters developing within an hour or in a few cases within a week after drug administration is termed as fixed drug eruptions (FDE). FDE is one of the major forms of drug-induced dermatosis. Various class of drugs that are causative agents for FDE includes antibiotics, anticonvulsants, antivirals, and Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID). FDE is easily recognized and differentiated from other drug eruptions since it does not occur voluntarily or during infection.

Case report: This case report is to spotlight the case of a 52-year-old male patient who was undergoing treatment for acute gastroenteritis and suffered from FDE due to administration of IV Ofloxacin.

Authors: Gadhade Jyoti Sushma , Hiray Rajesh Sudhakar
Published: January 2022

Introduction: Pharmacovigilance (PV) plays a consequential role in the drug regulatory system and is a constantly evolving multifaceted field. In the process of carrying out its effective management, the PV system does undergo a lot of challenges on a global pitch. PV system is well developed in the western globe (United States,  United Kingdom,  Germany) while the east globe (e.g.: India) is still in the evolving stage.

Methods: Major discrepancies include different regulatory authorities for each nation with different forms for ADR reporting and also different timelines.

Results: To mention a few; there is a regulatory gap because of the continuously evolving regulations and business processes, it is difficult to comply with the diverse regulations effectively; gross underreporting in the east as compared to the west; increased concern about the safety and potential toxicity of traditional Chinese herbs in the east; self-medication; linguistic barrier, etc. Steps like harmonization of regulation by drafting guidelines that are uniform globally; leveraging digital technologies to optimize ADR reporting; meticulous and timely reporting; inclusion of PV in the curriculum etc. can be employed.

Conclusions: While PV has witnessed substantial development over the years, areas of discrepancies need to be identified to build a seamless PV system. Need for an effective revolutionary roadmap to tackle all the hindrances to fortify its harmonious functioning.

Privação do saneamento básico na Vila Lídia, bairro Noal, Santa Maria (RS)
Authors: Moraes Liliane , Spode Pedro , Faria Rivaldo
Published: January 2022

A ausência de saneamento básico é um problema histórico, reflexo territorial das desigualdades socioespaciais que assolam a maioria dos países, em especial o Brasil. É fundamental, todavia, avaliar essas condições na vida real e prática das pessoas nas cidades brasileiras. Nesta perspectiva, este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar as condições de saneamento básico da Vila Lídia, situada no bairro Noal, na região centro-oeste da cidade de Santa Maria, RS. Para isso, utilizou-se levantamento bibliográfico e documental, levantamento de dados em campo, com entrevistas semiestruturadas e observação sistemática, além de acesso a dados secundários da Companhia Riograndense de Saneamento (CORSAN) e Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE). A problemática da ausência de saneamento básico na Vila Lídia é resultado do processo histórico que vai de remoção ao reassentamento populacional, numa área ambientalmente imprópria. A privação do saneamento básico é resultado de um certo saneamento humano, muito comum nas cidades brasileiras. Essa condição original torna impossível qualquer ação propositiva para um “saneamento básico”, isso por razões sociais e físico-ambientais (um lugar que jamais deveria ser habitado). A solução passa primeiro pela garantia do direito ao território e a um ambiente que permita condições mínimas para uma vida digna.

On 28-29 May 2020 in full Coronavirus pandemic upsurge and lockdown conditions the Eleventh Conference on Baltic and Nordic Studies gathered on Zoom instead of The Palace of Culture and The Middle Age Citadel of Târgu Mureș as initially planned. The meeting was summoned in partnership with Rethinking Europe in order to reflect, from the perspective of the Baltic Sea Region, upon the Old Continent in the context of Brexit and the pandemic. Questions on the impact of the recent evolutions on Baltic and Scandinavian states have been raised, but the perspective was much wider looking on how the countries of this region responded to structural changes or alterations of the international environment over time.
The two plenary sessions on the EU after Brexit: Perspectives on the Future of Europe and Constructions of Christian Identity and the Idea of the Holy Land in the Northern Periphery: The Sawley World Map in Twelfth-Century England appropriately mirrored the sequential diversity of the conference.

Finnish Language Teaching through Improvisation – Conforming the Educational Values within an Improvisational Frame
Authors: Keränen Anja
Published: January 2022

In my article, I examine the moments of gaps or pauses in improvisational scenes used in a Finnish language as a foreign language class. In my research I use different improvisational exercises and techniques (e.g. Johnstone 1981; 1999) when teaching Finnish as a second language. My pedagogical aim is to improve Finnish students’ communicational skills in different kind of improvised settings. My research focuses on teaching Finnish as a foreign language in a Romanian university using improvisation theatre as a method in language teaching. I start from some values of Finnish educational system, such as equity, flexibility, creativity, teacher professionalism and trust (Sahlberg 2007). I compare how these values are conformed within an improvisational frame in a second language class. I present three examples from two different drama courses and I show through these examples how students contemplate with delicate, shameful and radical moments or pauses within their improvisational interaction in the classroom. My aim is to show how the teachers repeatedly accept the students’ ideas based on the rules of improvisation (Johnstone 1981; 1999) and how this positive freedom of improvisation (Peters 2009) shows similarity with the values of the Finnish educational system.
Epp Annus, Soviet Postcolonial Studies: A View from the Western Borderlands
Authors: Miloiu Silviu-Marian
Published: January 2022

The core approach of the work deals with postcolonial studies and the geographical reference area of “Western Borderlands”, which largely consists of Eastern and East Central Europe. However, the Baltic states stand at the focus of the analysis and as such they are devoted the largest share of the eight chapters of the book. Colonialism, coloniality, and post-colonial are insightfully analyzed in the monograph and the author blends them to concepts such as colonial subject positions and colonial ideology. How to behave properly, what one could speak or do in public and what one instantly felt was forbidden, what could be published and what was rather to be shelved established certain boundaries between the conceivable and the inconceivable. Everything was driven by the colonial ideology which Annus defines as “a system of beliefs and corresponding statements that motivate and guide colonial discourse”. Spotlighting both colonial subject positions and colonial ideology and further encompassing the notion of colonization in the meaning of “territorial acquisition” and “system of domination”, the book is clearly operating in an innovative conceptual framework which turns it into a vital contribution in colonial/postcolonial studies.
Modernization and Language Loss in the Meänkieli Community
Authors: Bodrogi Enikő Molnár
Published: January 2022

The Finns living in the Torne/ Tornio Valley were cut off from the Finns in Finland in 1809, when Sweden lost the territory of Finland in favor of Russia. Since then, the Tornedalian Finns have become the victims of a definite assimilation policy. Today their language, Meänkieli, is a minority language officially acknowledged in Sweden, but it is an endangered language nowadays, as well.
One of the most important factors which led to the endangered status of Meänkieli was the systematic assimilation policy of the 19th and the 20th century Sweden. One of the main aims of its representatives was to lead language minorities to the path of modernization, offering them the acquisition of majority languages instead of their minority mother tongues.
In my study, I am looking for an answer to the question of how modernization affected the Tornedalian Meänkieli-speaking community in Northern Sweden during the 19th and the first half of the 20th century, as reflected in some feuilletons written by the well-known Meänkieli writer Bengt Pohjanen. My research is based on the relational interpretation of history, culture, literature, and language identity.

Background: Harassment of working women is a common social and human rights problem and healthcare settings are no exception. This unacceptable situation has many avoidable determinants that need preventive measures to ensure, safe and secure working environment for nurses.
Objectives: To assess the knowledge and understanding among female nursing students and nursing staff about workplace harassment in a tertiary healthcare facility.
Methods: It was a cross-sectional study conducted at Tertiary care hospital Lahore from July to September 2018. Convenient sampling technique was used to collect data. Verbal informed consent of voluntary participants was taken. Anonymity and confidentiality was assured. SPSS version 21 was used for data analysis. The participants (n=80) comprised of senior female nurses students (62.5%) and senior nursing staff (37.5%), aged 18 to 46 years.
Results: Awareness about common harassment forms was adequate (81.3%). Adverse effects included mental health problems (83.8%) and low self-esteem (72.5%). A large percentage of nurses (62.5%) intended to report such personal incident to institutional head and 72.5% were willing to accompany victims for such reporting. 77.5% desired arranging informative sessions and holding counseling for victims (78.8%) at workplace. Only 22.5% had vague idea about official protective legal frameworks.
Conclusions: Workplace harassment of female workers is quite prevalent but under-reported phenomena in Pakistan. All organizations and institutions must have a harassment policy to protect the females.
Advancing Age as a Risk Factor for Acute Myocardial Infarction
Authors: Bashir Aisha , Salam Asma , Kanwal Aasia
Published: January 2022

Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is one of the leading causes of death in developed and developing countries. Age is an important non-modifiable risk factor for acute myocardial infarction.
Objectives: The objective of the study was to explore the relationship of advancing age with the risk of acute myocardial infarction.
Methods: It was a cross-sectional study conducted in 2019 after getting approval from Institutional Review board of University of Health Sciences, Lahore. Written informed consent and thorough history was taken from the study participants. Group 1 included 45 AMI patients aged 20-60 years. Group 2 included 45 healthy individuals aged 20-60 years. Independent sample t test and chi-square tests were applied for analysis of data.
Results: Mean age was significantly higher in AMI patients (50.52±7.31) as compared to healthy controls (30.67±7.20). The risk of AMI increases with advancing age (p<0.001, OR= 2.78).
Conclusions: Advancing age is an important risk factor for acute myocardial infarction.
Modelling Multilayer Communication Channel in Terahertz Band for Medical Applications
Authors: Mahmoud Essraa Hesham , Gadelrab Mohammed S. , ElSayed Khaled , Sallam Abdel Rahman
Published: January 2022

In this work we present a multi-layer channel model for terahertz communication that incorporates both layers of human body tissues and textile layers. Many research works tackled communication channel modelling in human body alone while some other research focused on textile characterization/modelling alone. There is a real gap in connecting these different models. To investigate this, a multi-layer channel model for terahertz communication is developed, this model assumes external textile layer stacked over layers of human body tissues. The electromagnetic properties of the different layers are extracted from previous works that used time domain spectroscopy (TDS) in the terahertz band to characterize each of the considered layers. The model is implemented as a flexible MATLAB/Octave program that enables the simulation of layers with either fixed or random depths. This paper aims to pave the way to connecting patients’ in-body nano-nodes with off-body (on-cloth) nano-nodes by building such a combined channel model. This helps in many applications especially in the medical field. For example, having connected nano-nodes can help in diagnosing diseases, monitoring health by sending information to the external environment, treatment (e.g., increasing or decreasing a certain dose depending on the monitoring), etc. The obtained results show how the THz signal can be affected when it propagates through heterogeneous mediums (i.e., human body tissues and textile). Various types of path-loss has been calculated for this purpose and verified by comparison with results from previous research on separate models of human body and textile.
A Coalition Formation Game for Cooperative Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio Network under the Constraint of Overhead
Authors: Borgohain Utpala , Borkotokey Surajit , Deka S.K
Published: January 2022

Cooperative spectrum sensing improves the sensing performance of secondary users by exploiting spatial diversity in cognitive radio networks. However, the cooperation of secondary users introduces some overhead also that may degrade the overall performance of cooperative spectrum sensing.  The trade-off between cooperation gain and overhead plays a vital role in modeling cooperative spectrum sensing.  This paper considers overhead in terms of reporting energy and reporting time. We propose a cooperative spectrum sensing based coalitional game model where the utility of the game is formulated as a function of throughput gain and overhead. To achieve a rational average throughput of secondary users, the overhead incurred is to be optimized. This work emphasizes on optimization of the overhead incurred. In cooperative spectrum sensing, the large number of cooperating users improve the detection performance, on the contrary, it increases overhead too. So, to limit the maximum coalition size we propose a formulation under the constraint of the probability of false alarm. An efficient fusion center selection scheme and an algorithm to select eligible secondary users for reporting are proposed to reduce the reporting overhead. We also outline a distributed cooperative spectrum sensing algorithm using the properties of the coalition formation game and prove that the utility of the proposed game has non-transferable properties.  The simulation results show that the proposed schemes reduce the overhead of reporting without compromising the overall detection performance of cooperative spectrum sensing.
Channel Propagation Characteristics on the Performance of 4G Cellular Systems from High Altitude Platforms (HAPs)

Published: January 2022

In this paper, we investigated the effect of different channel propagation characteristics on the performance of 4G systems from high altitude platforms (HAPs). The use of High-Altitude Platforms for communication purpose in the past focused mostly on the assumption that the platform is quasi stationary. The technical limitation of the assumption was that of ensuring stability in the positioning of the platform in space. The use of antenna steering and other approaches were proposed as a solution to the said problem. In this paper, we proposed a channel model which account for the motion of the platform. This was done by investigating the effect of Doppler shift on the carrier frequency as the signals propagate between the transmitter and receiver while the High-Altitude Platform is in motion. The basic free space model was used and subjected to the frequency variation caused by the continuous random shift due to the motion of the HAPs. The trajectory path greatly affects the system performance. A trajectory of 30km, 100km and 500km radii were simulated. An acute elevation angle was used in the simulation. The proposed model was also compared to two other channel models to illustrate its performance. The results show that the proposed model behave similar to the existing models except at base station ID 35 and 45 where the highest deviation of 20dBm was observed. Other stations that deviated were less than 2dBm.
