Authors: Abhirami Manjari , Gupta Simmi
Published: November 2023

Students develop skills, gain knowledge, and achieve greater wellbeing by creating a positive school environment. Through the years, schools have realized the importance of mental health services for adolescents. Research on the role of schools in mental health awareness building and preventing mental health problems is meager, and focuses on students in the western context. This chapter focuses on the recommendations given by teachers on what role schools can play in identifying, preventing, and building awareness among adolescents. These recommendations are based on the themes obtained through semi-structured interviews with 24 teachers teaching 10th, 11th, and 12th graders in private high schools and colleges in Bangalore. Consequently, it aims to provide an overview of incorporating techniques and strategies to enhance mental health among school students in the Indian Scenario.
Assessment and Management of Emerging Personality Disorders in Adolescents
Authors: Gupta Tanu , Gehlawat Pratibha
Published: November 2023

Adolescence is a crucial period for developing certain personality traits that shape a person's behavior throughout life. Each person has a unique set of positive and negative traits that build a person's personality, which remains relatively stable and permanent. It has been a matter of controversy for the last many decades that personality disorders cannot be diagnosed before 18 years, considering the evolving personalities of these young people. However, recent personality assessment models and a growing body of research have proven the existence of personality pathology during adolescence. Hence, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM 5) considers the developmental perspective of personality pathology and emphasizes the presence of maladaptive personality traits during adolescence. The primary purpose of the present chapter is to discuss the recent models of personality assessment and how these models can be applied to adolescents.
The Use of Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy With Children of High-Conflict Divorce
Authors: Kelly Kim , Brown Emily C.
Published: November 2023

Children may experience high-conflict divorces as a traumatic event. High-conflict divorces, which can be characterized by two or more years of hostility, difficulty communicating, and litigation, can contribute to emotional and physiological dysregulation as well as an increase in maladaptive cognitions and behaviors. Additionally, high-conflict divorce can lead to ruptured relational attachments and disconnection between parent and child. This chapter informs readers how the use of trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, which includes sessions for parent and child, can mitigate the dysregulation and disconnection resulting from the trauma of high-conflict divorce. A case illustration is included to detail the therapeutic application. Implications are offered for mental health providers and researchers to expand the use of trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy with children experiencing high-conflict divorce.
Screen Time Addiction
Authors: Fernandes Silvia
Published: November 2023

Navigating life without the Internet in recent times is nearly unimaginable. It makes tasks like information gathering, socialization, and financial transactions accessible right from the comfort of one's home. However, amongst the host of benefits it provides, there are many problematic and potentially damaging aspects as well. It is not uncommon to lose track of time on unproductive online activities and ignore real-world responsibilities and commitments. In its most severe form, this preoccupation with online activities is often called screen time addiction. The present chapter explores the risk factors that aid the development of screen time addiction. It looks at the impact that screen time addiction can have on academic life, interpersonal relationships, and mental health among children and teenagers since they are most likely to develop screen time addiction. It also recommends tackling screen time addiction through preventive and therapeutic interventions.
Problematic Internet Use
Authors: Variamparampil Teena
Published: November 2023

Internet use has become an integral part of our lives, offering a variety of features and services. While it can be beneficial to use the internet in moderation, excessive use of the internet can have negative consequences for our physical and mental health. Terms like internet addiction, internet dependency, and digital overexposure are all different ways of describing the same thing: an excessive and unhealthy use of the internet. This can manifest in a variety of ways, such as spending too much time online without taking a break or finding it difficult to focus on tasks outside of the digital domain. Overuse of the internet can also lead to feelings of depression, anxiety, and frustration. It is important to be aware of how much time is being spent online and to take regular breaks in order to stay healthy.

A Comparative Study of BFV and CKKs Schemes to Secure IoT Data Using TenSeal and Pyfhel Homomorphic Encryption Libraries
Authors: Wiryen Yancho B. , Vigny Noumsi Woguia Auguste , Joseph Mvogo Ngono , Aimé Fono Louis
Published: November 2023

Internet of things (IoT) devices and applications are on the rise, generating large amounts of sensitive and confidential data that need to be processed securely. Due to resource constraints, the data generated is often stored and processed in the cloud. The drawback of data cloud storage and processing is the fact that it can be hacked, leaked, or sold by cloud companies. Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) allows computation on encrypted data using basic mathematical operations and has recently been successfully implemented using schemes and libraries with better performance. In this paper, the authors propose a mixture of edge-cloud-based security schemes using FHE to secure IoT data. The authors evaluate the performance of two FHE schemes (BFV and CKKS) based on data: encoding speed, encryption speed, arithmetic operations (addition and multiplication) speed, and decryption decoding speed using two Python libraries (TenSEAL and PyFHEl). The encryption and decryption are done at the edge node using a Raspberry Pi 4, while the processing is done at the cloud node using a laptop.

The Athletic Training Student as a Core Member of an Interprofessional Student-Led Clinic: An Educational Technique
Authors: Kraemer Ellanora , Vande Berg Anne W. , Timm Jennifer R. , Eaton Charissa K. , Koehler Amy Reitmaier
Published: November 2023

Context

Athletic trainers (ATs) collaborate with other professionals to improve the health and well-being of their patients. To prepare ATs to care for individuals, communities, and populations, it is important for athletic training students to experience interprofessional (IP) education, social determinants of health (SDOH), and varying health conditions, in a variety of practice settings.

Objective

To describe an educational technique that provides athletic training students with an IP experience at a student-led clinic.

Background

Athletic trainers care for clients/patients who have limited resources for health care and personal needs. To care for these individuals, ATs must have collaborative practices that engage them with parents/guardians, school-based social workers, and nurses through a variety of settings, including free/low-cost clinics and social services. A purposeful educational strategy that provides direct clinical experiences using IP education and IP practice to address SDOH in multiple settings is important in preparing future health care providers. Student-led IP clinics provide community-based teaching and learning to prepare students for clinical practice.

Description

First-year graduate-level athletic training students enrolled in clinical courses participated in this educational technique. A clinical experience provided students the unique opportunity to learn and apply IP practice with students and faculty in multiple academic programs (undergraduate and graduate nursing, undergraduate public health, undergraduate and graduate social work) while caring for underserved individuals and communities in the rural Midwest region.

Clinical Advantages

This educational strategy positively impacts the community, students, faculty, academic programs, and the university. Participation in community-based IP student-led clinics prepares athletic training students to care for a variety of individuals, populations, and health conditions through a collaborative approach. This approach also addresses gaps in health care delivery, particularly among underserved groups with varying SDOH, while introducing students to practice settings they may not have considered previously.

Conclusions

Incorporating the athletic training student into an IP student-led clinic provides unique learning opportunities for students to care for underserved individuals, populations, and communities, preparing them to provide whole-person care as clinicians.

Tapping into the Political Assets of Basotho Traditional Religion: In Search of Political Stability in Lesotho
Authors: Mokotso Rasebate Isaac
Published: November 2023

In this article, I employ a critical literature review to address three key points. Firstly, I argue that ongoing political and constitutional reforms in Lesotho are unlikely to establish long-term political stability, supported by historical evidence. I reinforce this argument by highlighting past political reforms that failed to achieve lasting stability in Lesotho. Additionally, I show how political stability rooted in Basotho religious beliefs existed before the influence of Western Christianity and colonialism. I demonstrate how colonialism, specifically coloniality, contributes to the persistent political volatility in Lesotho. Lastly, I present reasons for reviving Basotho political traditions embedded in traditional religious beliefs. My argument draws from the perspectives of the Lekhotla la Bafo decolonisation movement, representing subalterns who endured oppression under colonial rule and educated elites aligned with colonialism. I propose the retrieval of Lekhotla la Bafo's views through the school system, aligning with Durkheim's theory of education's function and decoloniality border thinking.
Women in the Public Sphere: Gender Equality in Islamic Theology
Authors: Ginting Lestari Dara Cinta Utami , Nasution Vivi Adryani , Suhendar Aris , Nasution Alya Rahma , Ramadhan All Rizky
Published: November 2023

This article aims to analyze the equal role of women in the public sphere in terms of Islamic theology. Discrimination against women due to race, nationality, or religion is a topic that is often discussed today. Looking at the position of women in various religious traditions can help find solutions to problems such as discrimination against women. Furthermore, this discrimination causes women to have limitations in the public sphere, thus suppressing women's productivity. This research aims to explain how the Qur'an can be interpreted to provide a more equitable theology of gender roles within the Islamic framework. The research strategy combines a qualitative descriptive approach with a literature review. Research questions were guided by Qur'anic verses and answered using literature sources, including books, scholarly journals, and the most popular online databases. The findings of this study show that the Qur'ān does not support discrimination based on gender. Regarding receiving a broad message, both men and women are given equal weight in the Qur'ānic framework. There are too many possible interpretations of the term "gender equality" to make any concrete conclusions. The solution to all the world's problems can be found in the Qur'ānic literature, which promotes gender equality through balance, fairness, and proportion. The Qur'an uses existing arguments to describe the importance of women's role in the public sphere, both as Servants and Caliphs. The role of women in the public sphere is different from that of men, but in terms of calculation, the portion assigned to women and men is relatively balanced. The idea that Islam is a religion of sexism is also not supported by the language and literature of the Qur'an. The author argues that the Qur'anic principles of gender equality can be applied to modern efforts to eliminate derogatory stereotypes.
“Air Hidup” Therapy Model based on Psalm 42-43 to Mitigate Depression in Church Congregations: An Explanatory - Confirmation Study
Authors: Sulistyo Simeon , Daliman Muner , Harianto GP , Purwoko Paulus Sentot
Published: November 2023

Depression is something that affects all human beings. Untreated depression can hurt people's lives. Not only can depression make Christians question God or feel distant from Him, but it also makes living in Christian community more trying. Depression can be very challenging for Christians because there are regrettably fallacies and stigmas associated with it. This research uses an explanatory-confirmatory approach and aims to formulate and use the "Air Hidup" (Living Water) Therapy Model to recover church members from depressive states. The research results were interesting: First, in testing the first hypothesis that there is a high level of confirmation in "Air Hidup" therapy based on Psalms 42-43 to heal depression in church members, thus the hypothesis was declared accepted. In testing the second hypothesis that the proposed idea has a moderate confirmation level in "Air Hidup" therapy based on Psalms 42-43 in people with everyday conditions (minimally depressed category according to the BDI-II scale) in the Church congregation, the hypothesis proposed was highly confirmed. Thus, the idea is declared rejected. In testing the third hypothesis that there is a high level of screening in the BDI-II before "Air Hidup" therapy based on Psalms 42-43 to heal depression in church members, the hypothesis was also declared accepted. In testing the fourth hypothesis that there is a low screening rate in the BDI-II after "Air Hidup" therapy based on Psalms 42-43 to cure depression in church members, the hypothesis was also declared accepted. The characteristics included in the Air Hidup Therapy model are (1) God's Word as the pillar of implementing "Air Hidup" therapy. (2) "Air Hidup" therapy as a solution to recovery from depression in the Synod congregation of the Word Restoration Church. (3) Developing "Air Hidup" therapy to prevent depression at the Word Restoration Church Synod. (4) "Air Hidup" Therapy as an Online Service for Church Congregations. It was thus determined that the "Air Hidup" Therapy Model based on Psalms 42-43 is indeed highly appropriate and effective for recovering depression in church members and must be used as a religion-based therapy model to ease depression in congregants.
Weeding Syncretism from Pentecostal Wheat in Zimbabwe
Authors: Tagwirei Kimion
Published: November 2023

The swift spread, establishment, and dynamism of Pentecostalism has in its diverse manifestations stirred a multitude of complex questions and dilemmas. While its contextualization is intertwined with syncretism, by which is meant the incorporation or attempted amalgamation of different religions with diverse schools of thought, the exceptional growth of Pentecostalism in Zimbabwe far surpasses its connection with syncretic elements. This study reveals that most Pentecostals are diligent and aggressive in praying, planting churches, and living out their faith. Their commitment extends beyond mere words to contextually needful exploits, such as prophecy, healing, deliverance, and economic prosperity. However, their inclusive contextualization has at times ensnared them in potentially detrimental syncretic practices. Problematically, the evaluation of their syncretic practices is complicated by the delicate distinction between contextualization and syncretism. It is akin to the challenging task of removing weeds from a field of wheat, where there is a risk of uprooting the wheat prematurely. Engaging with existing literature, employing interpretive phenomenology and participative observations, this article explores how we should respond to Pentecostal syncretism. Refactoring the development of Pentecostalism in Zimbabwe through a number of factors such as its missionized apostolic governance, diversified economics, transformational leitourgia, aggressive kerygma, and contextualization, it draws lessons from the parable of the wheat and weeds (Matthew 13:24 to 30, and verses 36 to 43) to propose sustainable strategies that can be used to manage syncretism without ravaging the integral Pentecostal missionary being.

Latency-aware task offloading in UAV-assisted edge computing: Leveraging deep reinforcement learning
Authors: Hai Nguyen Tri
Published: November 2023

Due to the exponential expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology, the increasing amount of data generated by numerous IoT devices has become a significant challenge for communication and computing networks. On the other hand, the concept of Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) presents a viable solution as it brings computing, storage, and networking capabilities in close proximity to the user, enabling the hosting of applications that require significant computation power and low latency right at the network’s edge. In addition, the maneuverability, cost-effectiveness, and ease of deployment make Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) highly versatile wireless platforms. Capitalizing on the benefits of MEC and UAVs, this paper proposes a UAV-assisted MEC system that offloads services to reduce the computation burden in IoT. The objective is to maximize the task completion rate, considering factors such as user transmit power, task offloading rate, and UAV trajectory variables. To tackle this optimization problem, this paper devises a method based on the Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG), an algorithm for continuous action spaces in deep reinforcement learning. The numerical simulations show the effectiveness of the proposed approach in comparison to other benchmarks, i.e., deep Q-network (DQN) and full offloading methods. In a simulation, the proposed DDPG method can achieve a fully optimized system with a 100% task success rate, while the DQN-based method achieves a lower task success rate of 95.93% and the full offloading method only obtains a task success rate of 82.73%.

Illegal Crossings of the Soviet-Finnish Border by Children and Youngsters in the 1920s
Authors: Ilyukha Olga P. , Chebakovskaya Alexandra V.
Published: November 2023

The study of behavioral practices of children in borderlands intersects two pivotal historical-anthropological research domains: childhood history and border studies. This article delves into unattended border crossings by children in the Karelian region of the Russian-Finnish borderlands during the 1920s. We present the results from an analysis of the two source sets housed in the Republic of Karelia National Archives. These sources comprise formal documents: questionnaire forms completed by teenagers upon their return from Finland and records from interrogations conducted by children’s social security bodies and national security agencies. We identified the factors and circumstances surrounding the illegal movements of underage citizens across the Russian-Finnish borderlands. Our findings reveal that the majority of these young border trespassers were ethnic Karelian teenage boys from borderland villages. The reasons and motivations for crossing the border from Russia to Finland, and subsequently returning home, evolved over time. While personal survival was the primary motivation during the civil war, in more peaceful times, the prevalent drive to go to Finland was economic – to earn money to improve living conditions for both the individual and their parents, reflecting a family survival strategy. We also detail how authorities addressed these transgressions. We conclude that the behavioral practices of these children, in violating national borders, depict them as autonomous actors on one side, yet also highlight their profound dependence on the immediate environment, shaped by its unique political, social, and geographical nuances, on the other.
