Case study of recurrent failure of worm screws in locally fabricated palm kernel oil extractors
Authors: Imonikebe Orezi O. , Oreavbiere Aselimhe G.
Published: January 2023

Worm Screws in palm kernel oil screw press have been found to fail often and usually require constant replacement. The failure rate is also more with locally fabricated worm screws which usually need to be replaced after about 4 – 5 batches of inlet capacity of palm kernels have been processed. This causes downtime in the machine’s operations and the wear of the worm screw deposits metal particles in the extracted oil which should be avoided at all costs as palm kernel oil is usually refined for food and cosmetic use amongst others. The method currently used for the local fabrication has been discussed and recommendations have been made that could result in better useful life of the locally fabricated worm screw. The limitation preventing Nigerian Engineers from fabricating the worm screws with best engineering practices are also discussed.
A Comparison of the Semi Analytical and Numerical Method in Solving the Problem of Magnetohydrodynamics Flow of a Third Grade Fluid between Two Parallel Plates
Authors: O. W Lawal , L. M Erinle-Ibrahim , O. S Okunoye
Published: January 2023

The main purpose of this study is to compare a semi-analytical method and numerical method namely the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) and finite difference method (FDM) respectively. These methods were employed for solving the nonlinear problem of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) couette flow of third-grade fluid between the two parallel plates. The comparison was made between a solution of HPM and FDM against a solution obtained from regular perturbation and the results are tabulated. From a computational viewpoint, it is revealed that the HPM is more reliable and efficient than FDM. Also, the results show that the FDM requires slightly more computational effort than the HPM, although the HPM yields more accurate results than the FDM.
Four and Five Figures of Kifilideen (Power of Base 11) and Antikifilideen (Antipower of Base 11) Tables as a Tool For Mathematics Computation
Authors: Kifilideen L Osanyinpeju
Published: January 2023

The four-figure of power of base numbers of tables needs to be created for easy synchronization with the existing Logarithm table of power of base 10 which is working on four figures. Although the five-figure of power base numbers of tables are more accurate because it is having less approximation in its establishment. The four-figure table is easy to compute doing utilization because it is having less digits to work with. This paper presents the four and five figures of Kifilideen (Power of base 11) and AntiKifilideen (Antipower of base 11) tables for the computation of mathematical problems. The four and five figures are both reliable to work with. However, there is a tradeoff between easy computation as related to the four-figure table and more accuracy as related to the five-figure table in their utilization.

Access to and use of nutrition information among pregnant women in Makete District, Tanzania
Authors: Mruma Fransisca J. , Mkhai Emmanuel M.
Published: January 2023

This paper presents the results of a study that was undertaken to investigate pregnant women’s nutrition information needs and how these women access such information. The study used a descriptive research design to collect and analyse data from 80 pregnant women and 10 nurses from two healthcare facilities namely Makete District hospital and Ipelele Health Centre. Data were collected using a questionnaire survey which was administered to pregnant women. Focus group discussions were conducted to solicit the women’s views about the topic in question, and interviews were conducted with the healthcare providers to solicit their perception about the women’s nutrition information needs and how the women access such information. While content analysis was used to analyse qualitative data, descriptive statistics were used to analyse quantitative data with the help of IBM SPSS version 23. Findings from the study revealed that pregnant women had a number of nutrition information needs. These range from the need to be provided with nutrition information that will help them prepare the best diet during and after their pregnancy, to the type of supplementary nutrients to add to their diet, and how to best protect their food from contamination. The findings further show that to meet their different nutrition information needs, the women had to consult a variety of sources including healthcare providers, mass media sources, and their friends. However, of all the sources identified, nurses were the main sources that were utilized by many pregnant women. Despite showing interest in a number of nutrition information, this study’s findings revealed that some pregnant women failed to make use of that information, thus putting themselves and their unborn babies at risk. The study concludes that nutrition information is vital for the health of pregnant women and their unborn babies. It is thus essential for pregnant women to access and effectively utilize such information to enhance their maternal outcomes.
The Influence of Short Message Services (SMS) Advertisements on Purchase Intentions by Mobile Telecommunication Consumers in Tanzania
Authors: Holden Haika K. , Mwakyusa John R.P.
Published: January 2023

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of Short Message Services (SMS) advertisements on the purchase intention among mobile telecommunication consumers in Tanzania using the AIDA model. Data were collected in Dar-es-Salaam from 303 mobile telecommunication users using self-administered questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive, correlation, and multiple regression analysis techniques. The result concluded that consumers' attention to, interest in and desire for SMS advertisements do positively and significantly influence consumer purchase intention. The sample is constituted of respondents who were first and second-degree holders aged between 20 and 40 years.  The results contribute to the existing literature on the influence of Short Message Services (SMS) advertisements on purchase intention among mobile telecommunication consumers in Tanzania. Managerially, the results shed light on possible areas of improvement to enhance the purchase intentions of their customers through short message services.  The study expands on the intellectual discourse of the AIDA model by taking Action, one of the model’s components, and treating it as a consumer purchase intention variable. One of the key limitations of the study was that the respondents were only those who could fill out online questionnaires. It is strongly recommended that further studies are more inclusive.
Distance Education Students’ Perception of Online Learning during Covid-19 Era: A Study of Selected Campuses and Learning Centres of Valley View University
Authors: Ameyaw Samuel
Published: January 2023

The aim of this study is to determine distance education students’ perceptions of online learning during the COVID-19 era. The descriptive design was employed to examine students' views on online learning. The population of the study was 876 students from all the campuses and learning centres of Valley View University (VVU) across the country. The Yamane (1967) sample size calculation formula was used to sample the respondents. The questionnaire was the only data collection instrument used in this study. The researcher sent copies of the questionnaire to the participants via Google forms. The IBM- Statistical Product and Service Solutions (IBM-SPSS) was used for the analysis. The study found that the perceptions of the majority of the students toward online learning were negative. The results revealed that smartphones were ranked first with a value of (RII = 0.659) as the devices used by students during online learning classes. The findings indicated that students found it difficult to access internet services when they were at home, with a value of (RII= 0.644). The study concluded that these findings have the potential to assist University Management in addressing all issues confronting distance learning students. It is suggested that the University's Administration should work with the various telecommunication networks to provide distance learning students with free internet data while they are at home to enable them to fully participate in online learning classes.
Determinants of Youths’ Intention to Shop Online: Study of Uganda and Rwanda
Authors: Kagoya Sumaya M. , Mkwizu Kezia H.
Published: January 2023

Existing literature on online shopping has focused on reasons for people to shop online while there is limited research on youths’ intention to shop online. Hence, this paper was motivated to examine the determinants of youth’s intention to shop online by comparing two countries namely Uganda and Rwanda. This paper’s specific objectives are; to analyse the relationship between hedonic and satisfaction among youths to shop online and to analyse the relationship between subjective norms and satisfaction among youths to shop online. This is a quantitative study that used structured questionnaires which were circulated by email survey to 122 youths of higher education institutions in Uganda (Makerere University Business School) and Rwanda (University of Rwanda). The data was analysed using descriptive statistics and Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The findings indicated a significant relationship between hedonic and satisfaction among youths’ intention to shop online (p=0.000 for Uganda; p=0.05 for Rwanda); and a significant relationship between subjective norms and satisfaction among youths’ intention to shop online (p=0.02 for Uganda; p=0.000 for Rwanda). The practical implication is for stakeholders of online shopping and policy makers to consider hedonic and subjective norms as key factors that determine youths’ intention to shop online.
Słowny ludowy folklor dziecięcy. Część 2: Wzorce tekstowe wybranych gatunków
Authors: Żebrowska-Mazur Barbara
Published: January 2023

Monografia Barbary Żebrowskiej-Mazur to kolejna znacząca publikacja krakowskiej badaczki gatunków słownego folkloru dziecięcego. Zawiera systematyczne i solidne analizy morfologiczne (wewnętrzne i immanentne) wzorców tekstowych opukiwanek, wołanek i formuł po chrzcie. Pod tym względem stanowi całkowite novum na gruncie polskiej folklorystyki – Autorka nie tylko dokonuje analiz wybranego korpusu tekstów w celu dotarcia do wzorca tekstu, jego elementów obligatoryjnych i fakultatywnych, stałych i zmiennych, ale również formułuje refleksje na temat transformacji gatunków, ich żywotności, stopniowego wygaszania i zupełnego wymierania. Stałym komponentem analiz jest rekonstrukcja obrazu świata wpisanego w małe formy folkloru oraz próba odtworzenia wartości jako podstawy tegoż obrazu.
Niebezpieczne krajobrazy. Surrealizm i po surrealizmie
Authors: Kornhauser Jakub
Published: January 2023

Rzadko mówimy w Polsce o tym, że surrealizm nie skończył się w dwudziestoleciu, a jego istota jest transoceaniczna. Romantyczno-antykapitalistyczny charakter surrealnego eksperymentu inspirował po wojnie artystów w Kairze, Meksyku, Turcji, Niemczech, Czechosłowacji, na Haiti i Kubie, w Aleppo i Belgradzie, Brazylii, Tajlandii i na Filipinach. Artyści ci – często krytycznie przywołując program André Bretona – nie godzili się z faktem, że surrealizm narodził się w Paryżu – uważając, że nie ma on źródeł (a jeśli nawet ma – to należy je pożreć!). Nowa książka Jakuba Kornhausera, wytrwałego nawigatora tego, co „wymyka się klasyfikacjom”, to nie tylko opowieść o surrealistach rumuńskich – Gellu Naumie i Gherasimie Luce – ale i o niezbyt rozpoznanych w Polsce przypadkach surrealizmów czeskiego i serbskiego, które na neoawangardowym etapie zahaczały o światowy ruch konceptualny, a także o surrealistycznych przesłankach poezji konkretnej i o polskiej, awangardowej Nowej Fali. Być może takie neoawangardowe przebitki sprawią, że będzie w końcu można mówić również o polskim surrealizmie. Prof. dr hab. Joanna Orska Surrealistyczna tragedia daje oczywiście możliwość wyzwolenia – od nawyków i nudy codzienności po lęki kastracyjne i inne traumy zalegające w zakamarkach id. A jednak zmagania z tym, co oferuje „boczny, iluzyjny świat”, pełen fałszywych bytów, tropów i „daremnych ułud”, nie dają ukojenia. Zwalczanie egzystencjalnego lęku konwulsyjnym przerażeniem niesie z sobą ryzyko popadnięcia w otchłanie „niebezpiecznych krajobrazów” niczym w czeluści czyśćcowe (zresztą Breton chętnie podbierze tę wizję myśli chrześcijańskiej w swoich manifestach). Omawiane w niniejszej książce teksty literackie są zapisem zmagań z tym lękiem. Niezależnie od tego, czy weźmiemy do ręki poematy Gellu Nauma z nomadycznymi podmiotami – i nomadycznymi przedmiotami – w rolach głównych, czy prozy Gherasima Luki, który uchyla w nich nieedypalne furtki, powinniśmy przygotować się na niespodzianki, poddać się ryzyku „wykolejenia”. To samo stanie się, gdy zerkniemy na inspirowane surrealizmem lub z surrealizmem dyskutujące prace twórców neoawangardy – tych profesjonalnych lub nieświadomych artystycznej misji (patrz: rozdział o smartach). Podłoża tego lęku, obecne w pracach i manifestach ruchu, wiążą się jednak z niejasnym statusem surrealizmu, w tym surrealizmu rumuńskiego. Bo owszem, można surrealizm zamknąć w kleszcze definicji, skoro sam Breton w Manifeście surrealizmu pozwala sobie na podobną zagrywkę (stąd wiemy przede wszystkim, że surrealizm to rzeczownik rodzaju męskiego). Tylko po co?
Insight into biases when measuring socioeconomics and demographics of consumers patronizing retailing fashion design entrepreneurs: Germany’s perspective vs. South African requirements
Authors: Pooe Boitumelo , Dobbelstein Thomas
Published: January 2023

With an increasingly globalised market, it has become more pivotal to provide cross-cultural analytics of the different markets conducting international business. Thus, this paper aims to study demographic and socioeconomic variables inherent when conducting a cross-cultural analysis of consumer needs when patronising retailing fashion design entrepreneurs in Germany and South Africa. The primary problem was identified when the research team tried to match German and South African demographics and socioeconomic variables. A discrepancy in variables was recognised, delaying an appropriate cross-cultural analysis. Currently, fashion design entrepreneurs are becoming increasingly interested in the global market. Consequently, this research intends to provide information about consumer differences between one of the Southern African economies and one of the central European economies. Hence, this paper recognises that it does not need to compare „apples with apples” but instead acknowledges that cross-cultural analytics are still possible in different societies if similarities are not forced but rather acknowledged and appropriately managed. As a result, the diverse demographic and socioeconomic variables identified when conducting a cross-cultural analysis between German and South African consumers patronising fashion design entrepreneurs were scrutinised, and necessary recommendations were provided. Accordingly, the main question interrogated in this paper is that of demographic and socioeconomic differences between Germany and South Africa. Secondly, the question related to how bias can be avoided when comparing demographic and socioeconomic variables between Germany and South Africa is studied. Finally, the question connected to German consumers' characteristics and levels of patronage towards retailing fashion design entrepreneurs was addressed. The empirical data was collected through quantitative measures, through a survey and from 469 respondents in Germany. The findings indicated that construct, method and item biases all needed to be carefully considered for a cross-cultural analysis between Germany and South Africa. Secondly, the results revealed that the profile of consumers patronising retailing fashion design entrepreneurs in Germany as highly educated millennial females with an upper-middle-income living in metropolitan areas with no children. Finally, it was found that just over 10% of the population patronised retailing fashion design entrepreneurs in Germany.
Computation Against a Neighbour: Addressing Large-Scale Distribution and Adaptivity with Functional Programming and Scala
Authors: Audrito Giorgio , Casadei Roberto , Damiani Ferruccio , Viroli Mirko
Published: January 2023

Recent works in contexts like the Internet of Things (IoT) and large-scale
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) propose the idea of programming distributed
systems by focussing on their global behaviour across space and time. In this
view, a potentially vast and heterogeneous set of devices is considered as an
"aggregate" to be programmed as a whole, while abstracting away the details of
individual behaviour and exchange of messages, which are expressed
declaratively. One such a paradigm, known as aggregate programming, builds on
computational models inspired by field-based coordination. Existing models such
as the field calculus capture interaction with neighbours by a so-called
"neighbouring field" (a map from neighbours to values). This requires ad-hoc
mechanisms to smoothly compose with standard values, thus complicating
programming and introducing clutter in aggregate programs, libraries and
domain-specific languages (DSLs). To address this key issue we introduce the
novel notion of "computation against a neighbour", whereby the evaluation of
certain subexpressions of the aggregate program are affected by recent
corresponding evaluations in neighbours. We capture this notion in the
neighbours calculus (NC), a new field calculus variant which is shown to
smoothly support declarative specification of interaction with neighbours, and
correspondingly facilitate the embedding of field computations as internal DSLs
in common general-purpose programming languages -- as exemplified by a Scala
implementation, called ScaFi. This paper formalises NC, thoroughly compares it
with respect to the classic field calculus, and shows its expressiveness by
means of a case study in edge computing, developed in ScaFi.
Portfolio Analysis Using the Markowitz Model with Stock Lot Constraints and Target Returns or Without Target Returns
Authors: Hanifah Asri Rula , Subartini Betty , Sukono Sukono
Published: January 2023

Stock investment activities are inseparable from returns and risk, so an investor needs expertise to minimize investment risk. One way is by forming an optimal portfolio. The purpose of this research is to determine the number of stock lots in the optimal portfolio. This research analyzes the closing prices of stocks during the research period with the criteria of stocks being listed on the IDX30 index consecutively for 20 periods and belonging to the large cap group (the stock market capitalization exceeds $10 billion). Then the number of stock lots is calculated using the Markowitz model with stock lot constraints and target returns or without target returns. From the selected stocks, an optimal portfolio is formed using Microsoft Excel. Based on the research results, a combination of an optimal portfolio with a target return is ASII: 5, BBCA: 10, BBNI: 23, BBRI: 1, BMRI: 23, TLKM: 93, UNVR: 12, where the risk is 0,000149 and the target expected return is 0,00155. Meanwhile, the optimal portfolio without a target return is ASII: 8, BBCA: 7, BBNI: 32, BBRI: 40, BMRI: 9, TLKM: 62, UNVR: 17, where a risk is 0,000147 and the expected return is 0,00148. This research can be used as a consideration for investors in determining investment portfolios.
Investment Portfolio Optimization Model with Mean-Std Deviation
Authors: Putri Nurhadini , Suyudi Mochamad , Sulaiman Ibrahim Mohammed
Published: January 2023

Stock investment is an investment in securities with the hope of getting profits in the future. Investors are expected to make a series of portfolios to get optimal results from investments. This discussion aims to find the weight of the funds invested along with the returns and risks. The method used is the mean + std deviation. The results of this portfolio optimization show that the risk aversion coefficient is 0.1. The optimum weight for investment in each company is KLBF (22.67%), PGAS (8.796%), BBCA (41.77%), ASII (8, 24%), and SMAR (18.52%) with a maximum ratio of 8.8% of a return of 0.0881% and a risk of 1.0009%. The results of this portfolio optimization are expected to help investors by dividing the number of funds to be invested by the return and risk.

Authors: Silalahi Anjai , Putrawan Bobby Kurnia
Published: January 2023

Basically, there are still many Christians who do not have a correct understanding of the monotheistic God and what it is related to the first Law of God. Because this lack of understanding often occurs among Christians who practice polytheism, syncritism and others who do not please God. Do not have other gods before Me (Ex. 20: 3), which is a very basic thing that must be understood well, in order to carry out true worship of the true God. This study aims to provide a concrete explanation of the importance of knowing the correct understanding of there should be no other God before Me (Ex. 20: 3). This study uses the (library research) method using books and other reading materials. The approach used is descriptive which focuses on the meaning of the phrase do not have another god before Me according to Exodus 20: 3.

 

Pada dasarnya masih banyak orang Kristen yang belum memiliki pemahaman yang benar tentang Tuhan yang tauhid dan apa kaitannya dengan Hukum Tuhan yang pertama. Karena kurangnya pemahaman ini sering terjadi di antara orang-orang Kristen yang mempraktikkan politeisme, sinkritisme, dan orang-orang lain yang tidak menyenangkan Tuhan. Jangan ada tuhan lain di hadapan-Ku (Keluaran 20: 3), yang merupakan hal yang sangat mendasar yang harus dipahami dengan baik, agar dapat melaksanakan penyembahan yang benar kepada Tuhan yang benar. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan penjelasan yang konkrit tentang pentingnya mengetahui pemahaman yang benar bahwa tidak ada Tuhan yang lain di hadapan-Ku (Keluaran 20: 3). Penelitian ini menggunakan metode (studi pustaka) dengan menggunakan buku dan bahan bacaan lainnya. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah deskriptif yang menitikberatkan pada makna kalimat tidak memiliki tuhan lain dihadapan-Ku menurut Keluaran 20: 3.
Towards “Kalimatun Sawa”
Authors: Ardiansyah Ardiansyah , Prihantoro Yogi
Published: January 2023

Relations between Islam and Christianity experienced debate and conflict, and this even led to violence. Even if it is realized that the two religions teach kindness to others. Debates and conflicts between the two religions can be reduced by means of kalimatun sawa, seeking a common meeting point between the two religions. Thus, this article aims to explain how the kalimatun sawa is based on the relationship between Islam and Christianity. The research method used is literature review with a comparative theology approach of religions. The results of the research are that Islamic and Christian dialogue must be based on building a high sense of tolerance and carrying out social activities to spread goodness in society.

Published: January 2023

Topological indices are numerical descriptors that may be produced from a molecular graph to thoroughly analyze the medications. They are frequently employed in the analysis and forecasting of the physicochemical features of several pharmaceuticals. Numerous forms of polynomials and topological indices are computed, which serves as representations of chemical structure, and are crucial to chemical graph theory. The findings already obtained may be improved, and there may be a greater link to the various physical features of chemical substances, as a consequence of modifications and generalizations of the conventional topological indices. We suggest seven brand-new distance-based topological indices in this communication. We further investigate these suggested topological indices for several frequently occurring chemical structures from chemical graph theory.

The paper examines the privileges and duties of laborers in medieval Shkodra during the period of Serbian supreme authority over this city, from the second half of the 12th to the end of the 14th century. The articles of the Statute of Shkodra that govern the position of laborers are the main subject of the study. This work tries to present laborers as a specific social group guaranteed legal protection. It aims to show how the development of coastal cities was reflected in the legal and social organization of Shkodra. Shkodra had its own governmental and social structure built on developing coastal communes while being a member of the Nemanjić state. Despite social inequality, Shkodra's residents were free from the feudal system that existed in Serbian lands. The laborers were found to be legally free, despite being in lower social strata, allowing them to work professionally in a variety of jobs. Key words: Statute of Shkodra, laborers, Middle Ages, Nemanjić family, Shkodra.
Parental Contextual Factors and Decision-Making Related to Periviable Birth: An Integrative Review
Authors: Wright Amy L. , Mens Elizabeth , Rathitharan Gausiha
Published: January 2023

Parents facing a periviable birth, or birth before 25 weeks of gestation, commonly engage in antenatal consultation with healthcare providers to determine a plan of care. Parents’ pre-existing contextual factors, beliefs, and values influence their decisions regarding birth and the care of their infant. This study aims to understand the role of parental contextual factors and best-practices to their integration during antenatal consultation The Whittemore and Knafl (2005) approach to conducting an integrative review along with thematic analysis was employed to determine and present the findings. Results describe three themes related to how contextual factors influence parental decision-making: personal values and hope, religion, and cultural and racial contexts. Parental contextual factors are important to integrate during antenatal consultation, yet how to do this is relatively understudied. A more thorough understanding will facilitate more individualized and effective counselling approaches for parents facing periviable birth.

Política de diversidad en Brasil y las directrices curriculares nacionales para la educación escolar quilombola
Authors: De Oliveira Suely Noronha , Lazo Juan Guillermo Lazo , Talavera Alvaro
Published: January 2023

La Educación Escolar Quilombola (EEQ) tiene sido una de las principales pautas de reivindicación del movimiento desde el I Encuentro Nacional de Quilombos de Brasil, realizado en 1995. Pero solo se tornaría materia de política pública, a partir de 2003, con el decreto presidencial 4.887, que estableció nuevas reglas para el reconocimiento de las comunidades quilombolas como población con derechos a políticas públicas diversificadas. Motivado por el decreto, el censo escolar anual del INEP (Instituto Nacional de Estudios y Pesquisas Educacionales Anísio Teixeira) pasó a contar, a partir del 2004, las escuelas situadas en territorios quilombolas o que atienden niños/as oriundos/as de esos territorios. Con eso, la EEQ dispuso de una herramienta administrativa y censitaria de identificación y evaluación, lo que contribuyó al reconocimiento de esa modalidad de educación. En 2012, se aprobó las Directrices Curriculares Nacionales para la Educación Escolar Quilombola, la cual pasó a orientar el recién sistema de enseñanza que empezaba a estructurarse. El presente trabajo trae al debate un análisis de las Directrices, a partir del enfoque basado por competencias, y apunta alternativas en la elaboración de currículos en escuelas quilombolas. La investigación que dio origen al actual artículo fue orientada por la metodología cualitativa, con observación participante, trabajo de campo de carácter etnográfico, análisis de fuentes escritas y orales. Pese el enfoque por competencias no haber sido considerado en la elaboración de las Directrices, este trabajo demuestra que es posible realizar aproximaciones teóricas y prácticas (o pragmáticas) entre el texto de las directrices y la propuesta de currículos escolares basado por competencias. Además, recomienda el enfoque por competencias como una alternativa potente en la organización de los currículos en escuelas quilombolas.
Teoría psicológica interpersonal del suicidio: relación con intento suicida, impulsividad y desesperanza
Authors: Trejo-Cruz Victor Hugo , Betanzos Fabiola González , de la Torre Alicia Edith Hermosillo
Published: January 2023

La Teoría Psicológica Interpersonal del Suicidio (TPIS) explica el punto crítico del paso de la ideación a la conducta suicida. A partir de ésta teoría se desarrollaron instrumentos que permiten identificar la presencia de variables proximales asociadas a la ideación y conducta suicida. El objetivo de la presente investigación es si las variables de la TPIS se relacionan con variables asociadas al riesgo suicida. Para conocer la asociación entre variables de riesgo suicida se utilizó el coeficiente de Pearson. Se encontró relación entre la capacidad adquirida del suicidio y los eventos causales de dolor r = 359, p < 0.05; capacidad adquirida del suicidio y la impulsividad r = 331, p < 0.05. La segunda relación es entre la percepción de carga, pertenencia no lograda y la impulsividad r = 343, p < 0.05. Finalmente, se encontró relación entre los eventos causales de dolor y la impulsividad r = 595, p < 0.05; también entre los eventos causales de dolor y desesperanza r = 313, p < 0.05 se observan relaciones positivas entre los eventos causales de dolor con la falta de miedo a morir, impulsividad y desesperanza. La segunda asociación es media y esperable como lo señala la TPIS. La impulsividad tiene relación con el suicidio en que las personas impulsivas a menudo hacen cosas provocadoras de dolor y con el tiempo se acostumbran al dolor, así desarrollan la capacidad adquirida del suicidio (Joiner, 2005).

Public Health Management a Curative Tool for the Public Health Related Problems
Authors: Bali Surya
Published: January 2023

Health always remains a core component in the life of human beings and considered as a major instrument of overall socio-economic development. Concept of health has been defined and understood in different ways by different cultures. The two major division of medicine namely curative and preventive medicine came into light at the close of 19th century. Although origin of Medicine and Public health goes back to ancient Greek mythology, Asclepius was the Greek god of Healing. He was the son of Apollo and the Coronis. Asclepius was married to Epione, with whom he had five daughters: Hygieia, Panacea, Aceso, Iaso, and Aglaea. Hygieia was the goddess of health, cleanliness and hygiene. Follower of panacea practiced curative medicine and were called healer and followers of Hygieia were called as Hygienist or Public Health experts (1). Concept of Public Health came from this hygienist category of healthcare personals.
The Constitution of the World Health Organization, which came into force on April 7, 1948, defines health “as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being.”(2) In today’s world more emphasis is given on physical health and most of the resources are diverted for the care of physical health especially for the medical treatment. Other domains of health care remain neglected.
Public health applies to the holistic approach for the care of health. Physical health is best taken care by the judicious mix of public health and medical domain of health. The evolution of concepts of public health tries to address new challenges of population health like non communicable diseases, cancers, accidents, injuries, inequities, increasing cost of care, poor quality of care, and poor patient satisfaction etc.
