Published: August 2024

This study aims to verify the adolescents ability to correctly identify mental health disorders such as depression and the intention to seek help, which refers to the determinants of Mental Health Literacy (MHL). As well as understanding the relationship between MHL and the psychological state associated with depression among adolescents in schools. This study was conducted using a cross sectional descriptive design and included 450 adolescent students (215 males and 235 females) from public intermediate and secondary schools in southern Jordan, and they were between 13 and 16 years old from ten randomly selected schools. Data on sociodemographic characteristics (gender, age, smoking, exposure to bullying, loneliness, parental marital status, and financial status represented by parental income) of participating adolescents were collected through student data from school principals and then assessed by the Global Student Health Survey (GSHS). MHL among adolescents was assessed and measured using the depression vignette and questionnaire of the mental health literacy and stigma. The data were analyzed using the Statistical Program for Social Sciences (SPSS) and multivariate binary logistic regression to examine and study the determinants of MHL. The results were obtained, the most important of which was that the adequate levels of MHL among adolescents were clearly and directly related to several factors. This was demonstrated by the use of multivariate analysis. The study concluded that the factors that significantly affected adequate levels of MHL were gender (females), age (older adolescents), non-smoking, and lack of loneliness. Where the values related to these factors obtained from multivariate analysis were (AOR=1.72; 95% CI 1.15, 2.57), (AOR=1.52; 95% CI 1.04, 2.22), (AOR=1.60; 95% CI 1.09, 3.54), (AOR=1.20; 95% CI 1.12, 1.76), respectively. One of the most important recommendations focused in this research is to pay attention to addressing the determinants and levels of MHL adequate to develop a generation of young adolescents who are more aware and free of mental disorders and have high levels of MHL adequate.

Authors: ParK Jinyoung , Park Chang Gi , Kim Sunah
Published: August 2024

Objective: Harmful drinking has increased, especially among younger women. To prevent this, we comprehensively understand its related factors. We aimed to examine the ecological factors that affect harmful drinking among Female College Students (FCS) based on the conceptual framework of McLeroy, et al.’s ecological model. Methods: The participants were 229 FCS aged 18-29 years from eight universities in South Korea. Results: We identified factors influencing harmful drinking among the participants using hierarchical logistic regression analysis. Stress relief was the highest among intrapersonal factors associated with harmful drinking (Odds Ratio (OR): 5.380), and those who engaged in social or school activities were more involved in harmful drinking (OR: 4.523). Finally, for college and community factors, the better one’s access to exercise facilities (such as gyms), the lower and the level of harmful drinking (OR: 0.411). When only individual factors were considered, the explanatory power was 49.2%; when both individual and interpersonal factors were input, it was 55%, and the explanatory power of the model-including individual, interpersonal, organizational, and regional factors-was 64.2%. Conclusion: It is important to improve the drinking culture and environment among FCS through continuous monitoring of harmful drinking and university and locality policies. In particular, activities and facilities inside and outside the university should be expanded so that students can maintain healthy social relationships without drinking. Further, psychiatric professionals should develop an intervention program from an integrated perspective.

Published: August 2024

Good collateral circulation flow is a promising outcome for ischemic stroke patients. Collateral circulation is the vessels that flow in parallel to each other, perfusing the same target tissue. Different patients are shown to have different statuses of collateral. Good collateral circulation is expected to give significantly better clinical outcomes for stroke patients including acute stroke patients who underwent thrombectomy. Modern multimodal imaging techniques have encouraged neuroradiology to assess collateral flow. This paper presents the basic overview of CBCT technology and compares the usefulness of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computed Tomography (CT) based on working principles, performance, cost and applications. In addition, the overview of collateral circulation and its characteristics will be discussed. In assessing collateral circulation, improvement of acquisition techniques and algorithm CBCT provides fast delineation of detail vasculature and improves spatial resolution. It is a three-dimensional (3D) imaging modality to investigate collateral flow. For ischemic stroke patients with clinical symptoms, CBCT improves the image quality for the assessment of collateral circulation in the brain. Precise evaluation of collateral circulation from the images will support the decision-making for suitable acute stroke treatment, benefiting both the patient and doctor.

Teachers’ perspectives on teaching, learning, and education are their beliefs, attitudes, and understandings. This study examines Vietnamese teachers’ perspectives on constructivist theory, a “revolution in current educational psychology”. Because it has greatly influenced teaching and education philosophy and practice worldwide, notably general education program reform. This study uses constructivist theory to build techniques and forms for Vietnamese primary teachers through experiential activities. The north Vietnam: Hanoi Capital, Vinh Phuc City, Ninh Binh City, Cao Bang City, Lao Cai City, Bac Giang City. The average tenure of teachers is nearly 11 years. The authors used a teacher’s questionnaire from six provinces to collect data on constructing experiential activities in a constructivist primary school subject. The findings showed that primary teachers preferred experiential activities in the subject based on constructivist theory and that story-telling and conversation were the most popular teaching methods and instructional forms. Constructivist theory stresses that learners actively construct knowledge and understand via experience. Teachers that use constructivist theory to build primary school experiences will help kids at this foundational level acquire quality and capacity.
CHILDHOOD ABUSE AND NEGLECT: CAN IT HELP PSYCHIATRY TO HEED TRAUMA AND ITS EFFECTS ON MENTAL HEALTH?
Authors: Haliburn Joan
Published: August 2024

It is known that a large proportion of children and adults have been exposed to significant trauma at some stage in their lives and that childhood trauma is associated with mental and physical ill-health. There is an accumulating literature that shows a high proportion of the mentally ill report childhood abuse and neglect. Studies showing evidence of a strong association of childhood trauma histories and specific mental illnesses, high prevalence of childhood trauma in psychiatric out-patients and as a result, higher utilization of mental health services, are cited. The evidence of association of childhood trauma and the serious mental illnesses is compelling and the ACES’ study of the past three decades have emphasised its impact. The limitations of these studies are openly considered, but in spite of the immense volume of literature on the subject, there continues to be a widening gap between clinical and biological research with serious therapeutic implications. Most of the illnesses we deal with in psychiatry have neurodevelopmental origins, which underscore the importance of focussing on early life as an age to understand how non-heritable factors interact with the genome to confer vulnerability. It is suggested that if psychiatry recognizes early childhood trauma in patients’ histories, it may help modify the course and possibly the treatment outcome of mental illnesses, particularly mood disorders. This course of action would enable more rigorous research, encourage routine practice of taking into account ACE’s during assessment and consider trauma in the management of psychiatric illnesses across all service systems, irrespective of diagnosis.

Authors: Rehma San
Published: August 2024

The Novel COVID-19 has dramatically transformed the globe into an exponential digital world. Considering the unprecedented need for social distancing, the surge of digital communication has prevailed all around the sphere. The natures of relationships based on the dreamlike and illusory identities on digital communication apps are cultivating the diverse intersections of self-concept. The first section intends to deals with people awareness about their actual self-concept. The second section revolves around if they recognize their traits so to what extent they understand them. Furthermore, the third section states that self-concept doesn’t merely represent the person’s claim as me or mine but also demonstrates their self-evaluation based on their social experiences. The natures of relationships due to digital communication on social media applications are distorting the relationship-induced self-concept of adolescents. These variations in self-concept are promoting rapidly and people are finding refuge in alcohol consumption for temporary relief. Here the question arises does alcohol dependence leads to negative self-concept or negative self-concept escort to alcohol dependency. The literature depicts that alcohol dependency leads to poor self-concept among people. Hence, the current study findings contradict the literature and revealed that negative self-concept escort alcohol dependence. The America psychological association and ICD-10 must add the nature and treatment modality of cyber-disorders. The government and policymakers must formulate laws to reduce the ratio of cyber dependency. Furthermore, the researchers, psychologists and psychiatrists must practice advanced therapeutic intervention for the intervention and counselling of the patients.

Published: August 2024

Fetishism is a distressing condition that may have a link with panic disorder. We highlight a 29-year-old man who presented with a constant urge to search for lace pillows to achieve his sexual satisfaction. He further reinforced his sexual behaviors with trips to hotels or acquaintances' houses, which ended with masturbatory acts. He did not have an erection problem and can achieve orgasm via common sexual acts. He also presented concurrently with symptoms of panic disorder. There was no family history of mental illness and he denied a history of childhood or sexual trauma. He was given psychoeducation on his condition and coping with the distress associated with his sexual acts. He was scheduled for intensive psychotherapy to instill insight and deal with his sexual difficulties. In conclusion, an assessment of the organic and psychological components of paraphilia should be undertaken to allow suitable and timely treatment if reversible.

A epilepsia é um distúrbio neurológico caracterizado por crises recorrentes não provocadas devido a descargas elétricas anormais no cérebro. O diagnóstico é baseado na ocorrência de duas crises ou na probabilidade de crises futuras, considerando fatores como crises noturnas e alterações no eletroencefalograma. Crises epilépticas podem ser confundidas com outras condições neurológicas e psiquiátricas, como síncope, crises psicogênicas, enxaqueca e narcolepsia. A síncope, uma perda temporária de consciência devido à hipoperfusão cerebral, é diferenciada das crises epilépticas pela ausência de tônus muscular e rápida recuperação. Crises psicogênicas, associadas a fatores psicológicos, têm uma duração mais longa e uma recuperação rápida. Enxaquecas compartilham fases semelhantes às crises epilépticas, mas com sintomas que evoluem gradualmente. A narcolepsia é caracterizada por sonolência diurna e cataplexia, sendo diferenciada pela ausência de alterações epilépticas no eletroencefalograma. A diferenciação adequada entre essas condições é crucial para um diagnóstico preciso e tratamento efetivo, evitando abordagens inadequadas e melhorando a qualidade de vida do paciente.

Este artigo revisa a importância do exercício físico na gestão da Doença de Alzheimer (DA), destacando seus efeitos benéficos no envelhecimento saudável. A prática regular de atividades físicas é identificada como uma intervenção não medicamentosa eficaz para retardar a progressão da DA, melhorando funções cognitivas e motoras. Estudos mostram que o exercício físico melhora a atenção, o tempo de reação, a mobilidade, o equilíbrio e a força muscular. Além disso, atividades físicas, cognitivas e sociais são essenciais para manter habilidades funcionais e promover a qualidade de vida dos idosos. O treinamento multimodal, incluindo exercícios aeróbicos e de resistência, é altamente recomendado para melhorar a força muscular e reduzir o risco de quedas. No entanto, apesar dos benefícios reconhecidos, mais pesquisas são necessárias para padronizar o tipo, intensidade e duração dos exercícios mais eficazes. Considerando a alta prevalência de Alzheimer e as limitações dos tratamentos farmacológicos, o exercício físico emerge como uma estratégia acessível e eficiente para preservar as capacidades cognitivas e motoras. Também é fundamental considerar os impactos emocionais da doença e adotar abordagens que evitem desmotivação e distanciamento do paciente e de seus cuidadores.

Published: August 2024

A utilização de evidências científicas na formulação e implementação de políticas públicas de saúde é um processo complexo que demanda esforços contínuos para garantir que essas evidências científicas não apenas informem, mas transformem práticas e políticas de saúde visando melhorar a vida dos cidadãos e a eficiência dos sistemas públicos. A busca por evidências confiáveis permite que gestores tomem decisões informadas, prevenindo desigualdades causadas por políticas mal formuladas. No entanto, a integração efetiva dessas evidências enfrenta desafios, especialmente quando a comunicação entre pesquisadores e formuladores de políticas é limitada. Para superar essas barreiras, é essencial promover uma colaboração estreita entre as partes envolvidas, adaptar as estratégias de tradução do conhecimento ao contexto local e investir em capacitação adequada. Somente com esforços coordenados e contínuos será possível transformar o conhecimento científico em práticas que efetivamente aprimorem a saúde pública e reduzam as desigualdades no acesso aos serviços. O presente trabalho explora a importância da utilização de evidências científicas na formulação e implementação de políticas públicas de saúde para garantir serviços de saúde universais, integrais e equitativos, além da importância de identificar barreiras e desenvolver estratégias para superá-las. A metodologia adotada consistiu em uma revisão narrativa baseada em bibliografias disponíveis no Google Acadêmico, com uma busca realizada em várias etapas, incluindo a técnica de bola de neve, análise da data de publicação dos materiais e a relevância dos conteúdos para o tema de estudo.

An Analysis of Coherence and Cohesion in English Majors’ Academic Essays
Authors: Diep Gia Luat , Le Thi Ngoc Diep
Published: August 2024

This research investigates coherence (how ideas are logically connected) and cohesion (how sentences flow together) errors in essays written by junior English majors. Analyzing 80 essays and conducting 10 interviews, the researchers identified common errors and usage patterns. Using Halliday and Hasan’s (1976) framework for cohesion and Oshima and Hogue's (2006) framework for coherence, the findings reveal frequent use of lexical cohesion, such as repetition and synonyms, but also misuse of cohesive devices. The study suggests that clear instructional interventions should be developed to improve writing skills, and regular feedback should be provided. Teachers should demonstrate the use of cohesive devices to connect ideas and enhance coherence and peer review activities can also help students learn from each other's writing. Future research should consider longitudinal studies and cross-institutional comparisons to track progress and identify common issues.

Authors: Lin Lin , Su Zhanguo
Published: August 2024

This study analyses how AI integration, Big Data, information system quality, and cultural variables affect foreign student education and cross-cultural adaption. We discover patterns and connections in technological and cultural aspects affecting educational effectiveness using Explainable AI (XAI) and machine learning. The study found that big data, AI integration, and high-quality information systems increase international student user experience. Collectivism may prefer collaboration, whereas individualism may prefer tailored AI learning. Moderation shows that student culture strongly impacts technological interventions, highlighting the need for culturally suitable instructional technology. AI integration, big data use, and high-quality information systems boost user experience and academic performance more in China than in Pakistan. To help international students succeed, schools must use technology and culturally sensitive management. Schools must use technology with student culture in mind. Create technologically advanced and culturally flexible educational management solutions for all pupils. This study found that AI integration, big data, information system quality, and culture affect international students' education and performance.

Crop production in Bahrain is facing many challenges that may undermine farm's sustainability. Farmers are an important player and assessing farm’s sustainability to identify performance gaps is essential. This study aims to measures farm sustainability in Bahrain using Response-Inducing Sustainability Evaluation (RISE) tool accompanied by field visit observations. The assessment was carried out on 29 farms and applied on 8 themes. The study contributed by configuring RISE's regional data to match Bahrain's conditions through the adjustment of some evaluation functions. The application of RISE showed that the average score of the 29 farms was (63 points) which indicates the requirement of additional improvement. Farms fared well in five themes (quality of life, water use, working conditions, soil use, and farm management). Whereas it performed low in three themes (Material Use, Biodiversity & Economic viability). Quality of life theme received the highest score (76 points), while biodiversity was the lowest (34 points). RISE application was successful; however, land tenure needs to be considered to improve local sustainability. Despite the presence of lands that are classified as agriculture but unexploited, it is suggested to encourage landowners exploiting the lands or rent them out to other farmers. In addition, the development of good agricultural practises guidelines is vital.

Published: August 2024

This study aims to analyze the effect of organizational learning on organizational performance and innovation ability’s moderating variables on the effect of organizational learning on organizational performance. A quantitative approach is used that focuses on hypothesis testing and measurable data and produces generalizable conclusions. The analysis technique used is structural equation modeling (SEM). The contribution of this research is unique because it gives a more specific balanced score card design for micro, small and medium enterprise (MSME) performance to capture dimensions not revealed in existing studies. The results of this study show that organizational learning (exploitation, exploration and ambidexterity) has a positive effect on innovation capability, and vice versa. The theoretical implication of this research is that it offers a broad perspective on how MSMEs function in a pandemic and the tactics they use to overcome adversity and become resilient. Organizational learning and innovation are the two variable components in this study and are utilized as the main drivers of small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) performance. This research has implications for entrepreneurs, as SMEs can apply the findings to enhance their business performance.

Published: August 2024

This study investigates the factors influencing customer loyalty in Sharia banking, with a focus on trust, religiosity commitment, and the perception of nisbah (profit-sharing ratio). By exploring the interplay between these variables, the research aims to provide insights into the mechanisms driving customer loyalty within Islamic banking institutions. Utilizing partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), data was collected from 212 priority customers of Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) in the Jabodetabek region. The study examines the direct and indirect effects of trust on loyalty, the mediating role of religiosity commitment, and the moderating influence of nisbah perception. The findings underscore the significance of trust in fostering customer loyalty in Sharia banking. Trust directly influences both religiosity commitment and loyalty, with religiosity commitment serving as a partial mediator between trust and loyalty. Furthermore, nisbah perception moderates the relationship between religiosity commitment and loyalty, indicating its role in shaping customer loyalty within Sharia banks. The study highlights the importance of transparency, adherence to Sharia principles, and the effective communication of transaction costs and risks in building trust and maintaining customer loyalty. Policy recommendations include prioritizing service improvements, reinforcing halal fund management practices, and enhancing employee competence to better serve priority customers. However, limitations such as restricted interaction with respondents and sample size constraints are possibilities for future research to enhance the robustness of the findings.

Published: August 2024

The ability to apply classroom learning to real-world contexts is essential, particularly in understanding arguments within argumentative texts. This skill is vital for informed citizenship, as it equips future graduates to handle real-life issues they will encounter in society and industry, fostering lifelong learning beyond their tertiary education. The purpose of this study is to compare students’ actual abilities with their self-assessments in comprehending argumentative texts from newspapers by identifying any discrepancies between students' actual and perceived abilities, enabling instructors to design more effective teaching strategies to bridge these gaps. This study is qualitative in nature whereby it involved 51 diploma-level English as Second Language (ESL) students from a Malaysian public university. Four newspaper articles from local columns were used to test actual comprehension abilities, while an online survey assessed students' self-perceived abilities. Results indicated a significant disparity between actual and perceived abilities, consistent with previous research. Although not explicitly tested, there appears to be a correlation between negative self-assessments and poor performance. Future research should explore the effectiveness of the three-stage model essay framework in preparing students for real-world applications, as this model may not align with industry needs. A new framework is needed to aid ESL students in comprehending not only academic argumentative texts but also authentic texts.
Escape from harem: A women-empowered novel of the Mughal harem
Authors: Murugaiyan Mohana Kala , Mani Mani Mangai
Published: August 2024

This study endeavors to scrutinize the intricate roles of women within Mughal harems and their corresponding social hierarchies, with a particular focus on the pervasive mental and physical oppression endured by these women and their endeavors to reclaim their autonomy and individuality. Employing Michel Foucault’s conceptual framework of power within the context of new historicism, the narrative of Escape from Harem is meticulously examined to unravel the multifaceted dynamics inherent in harem life. Through an analytical lens, this study uncovers the entrenched power structures governing the harem environment, exposing the systematic marginalization and restriction of women within these secluded spaces. By delving into the diverse experiences of women from varied social backgrounds, exemplified by the protagonist Zeenat, the research underscores their tenacity and agency in navigating the constraints imposed upon them. Furthermore, this investigation underscores the profound significance of literature as a potent medium for social critique and advocacy, illustrating how narratives such as Escape from Harem serve as compelling instruments for challenging prevailing power dynamics and advocating for transformative societal change. This study not only enriches our comprehension of Mughal society but also underscores the enduring impact of literature in reflecting and shaping cultural norms and values.

ABSTRAK
 
Pengaruh beberapa suhu pengeringan pada karakteristik fisikokimia dan penerimaan konsumen terhadap penilaian sensori  teh herbal pare (Momordica charantia) telah dilakukan. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menentukan suhu pengeringan pada karakteristik fisikokimia dan paling diterima oleh konsumen melalui penilaian sensori.  Irisan Pare telah dikeringkan pada 3 macam suhu,  40oC, 50oC dan 60oC. Sampel kontrol yang digunakan adalah teh  pare (Momordica charantia) komersial dan teh hijau (Camellia sinensis) komersil. Pengukuran warna menggunakan Minolta CR-300 Chromameter. Penentuan nilai pH menggunakan elektroda gelas pH meter. Tingkat keasaman titrasi sampel dinilai menggunakan metode AOAC (2000).  Nilai keseluruhan warna sampel untuk kecerahan (L), yaitu 33,0-35,0; kemerahan (a), yaitu 2,7-3,0; dan kekuningan (b), yaitu antara -2 dan -3. Sementara itu, nilai pH untuk semua sampel antara 4,4-6,2. Tingkat keasaman yang dapat dititrasi semua sampel antara 2,7-3,1%. Penilaian  kecerahan semua sampel menunjukkan tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan (p>0,05). Nilai pH sampel dengan suhu pengeringan 40oC menunjukkan tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan (p>0,05) dengan kedua sampel komersial. Nilai keasaman titrasi semua sampel menunjukkan tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan (p>0,05). Kadar senyawa fenolik total paling tinggi terdapat pada sampel T50. Dua atribut penilaian sensori pada penerimaan konsumen, yaitu ‘rasa pahit’ dan ‘aftertaste’ dari  keseluruhan sampel menunjukkan tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan (p>0,05) di antara kedua sampel komersial. Bagaimanapun, atribut-atribut yang lain (warna, aroma dan penerimaan keseluruhan) menunjukkan perbedaan yang signifikan (p<0,05) dan menunjukkan nilai lebih baik pada kedua sampel komersial.

Atribut produk merupakan suatu komponen yang mempunyai sifat produk dan menjamin agar produk tersebut dapat memenuhi kebutuhan dan keinginan yang diharapkan oleh pembeli atau konsumen. Hal tersebut membuktikan bahwa atribut produk menjadi hal penting yang menjadi pertimbangan konsumen dalam memilih produk yang akan dikonsumsi atau dibeli. Tujuan Penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh atribut sepeda motot terhadap keputusan pembelian konsumen pada Showroom Arwindo.
Ruang lingkup dalam Penelitian ini menyangkut tentang pengaruh atribut sepeda motor terhadap keputusan pembelian konsumen pada Showroom Arwindo. Penelitian ini akan dilakukan di showroom arwindo di Jalan Abdul Wahab, No.55 Simpang Empat Bebesen Takengon Aceh Tengah dengan objek penelitian adalah pengaruh atribut sepeda motor terhadap keputusan pembelian konsumen yang berjumlah sebayak 40 orang pada Showroom Arwindo.
Berdasarkan perhitungan data kuesioner Atribut produk (X) dan Keputusan pembelian (Y), diperoleh  persamaan regresi linier sederhana : Y =2,757 + 0,264X, Dari persamaan regresi di atas menunjukan bahwa nilai konstanta a sebesar 2,757 yang berarti bahwa jika tidak ada variabel bebas atribut produk (X) yang mempengaruhi, maka keputusan pembelian mempunyai nilai sebesar 2,757. Selanjutnya koefisien regresi dari b sebesar 0,264 bernilai positif. Hal ini menunjukan variabel bebas apabila ditingkatkan maka akan menimbulkan peningkatan pada variabel terikatnya. Hal ini dimaksudkan apabila atribut ditingkatkan peranannya akan meningkat pula keputusan pembelian konsumen. Dimana pengaruh atribut produk terhadap keputusan pembelian konsumen adalah positif, dimana nilai (b) adalah =0,264 artinya apabila atribut produk dinaikan 1% maka keputusan pembelian akan meningkat sebesar 0,264 kali dimana keputusan pembelian konsumen dianggap konstan
