Authors: Behiroz Azar , Khayatan Felor , Yousefi Zahra
Published: November 2024

Objective: The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of schema therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and compassion-focused therapy on components of loving, emotional empathy, marital values, coping skills, and willingness to marry among single women with a fear of marriage.

Methods and Materials: This experimental study used a pretest-posttest-follow-up design with four groups (three experimental groups and one control group). The statistical population included all girls with pre-marital fears in the city of Semirom. From this population, 60 participants were selected using convenience sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and were assigned to four non-randomized groups. The control group was placed on a waiting list, while the three experimental groups received schema therapy-based interventions (Fadavi Nia & Khayyatan, 2021), cognitive-behavioral therapy (Mohammadpour et al., 2015), and compassion-focused therapy (Pirjavid et al., 2021) over eight 90-minute sessions. All participants responded to the Coping Skills Questionnaire (Billings & Moos, 1981) in three phases. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics.

Findings: The results showed that all three methods effectively improved the two dimensions of avoidance-oriented and problem-focused coping.

Conclusion: Based on these results, it can be concluded that these three methods are suitable for improving psychological constructs, with schema therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy being more effective in enhancing the dimensions of coping mechanisms. Counselors and psychotherapists can use the techniques and strategies from these methods to improve these dimensions.

Authors: Dodaro Christian Adrián , Saieva Marina Flavia , Gutiérrez Andrea , Hernández Pablo
Published: November 2024

En este trabajo se analiza la cobertura mediática de los paros generales del 24 enero y 9 mayo de 2024, convocados por la CGT, tal como se desplegó en diversos portales digitales de noticias de cobertura nacional durante las semanas de realización de los mismos. El análisis se centra en la representación que los medios construyeron en torno a ambas convocatorias, en un contexto caracterizado por el incremento de discursos discriminatorios e incluso violentos, promovidos por funcionarios y agencias de  gobierno. Mediante el relevamiento de aspectos tales como el encuadre, las voces incluídas, la mención a terceros afectados y la atribución de responsabilidades, se logra distinguir estrategias editoriales estigmatizantes tanto sobre el mundo sindical como sobre el conjunto de las personas trabajadoras que estuvieron involucradas en las medidas de fuerza. Los resultados muestran, además, la necesidad de generar un proceso de regulación y desconcentración de los medios en pos de mayor pluralismo y abordajes respetuosos de los derechos.

Authors: Noor Indra Febryan , Astuti Ika Asti
Published: November 2024

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan dan menguji aplikasi Augmented Reality (AR) berbasis metode markerless dengan pendekatan mid air untuk meningkatkan efektivitas pembelajaran tata surya. Aplikasi ini dirancang untuk mengatasi keterbatasan pada aplikasi AR konvensional, yang sering kali bergantung pada deteksi permukaan datar, serta untuk meningkatkan realisme dan fleksibilitas interaksi antara objek virtual dan lingkungan fisik. Metodologi pengujian mencakup empat skenario berbeda yang mengevaluasi akurasi deteksi ruang 3D di bawah berbagai kondisi pencahayaan. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa sistem mampu mendeteksi ruang 3D dengan baik pada intensitas cahaya tinggi di luar ruangan (1007 LUX) dan rendah di dalam ruangan (20 LUX). Namun, ketika kamera diarahkan ke tembok polos dengan intensitas cahaya 100 LUX, deteksi ruang 3D gagal. Sebaliknya, pada kondisi malam hari dengan cahaya sangat rendah (di bawah 15 LUX), aplikasi tetap berhasil menempatkan objek 3D secara akurat. Penilaian usability dari 24 responden memberikan skor SUS rata-rata 92,4, menempatkan aplikasi dalam kategori "Acceptable" dengan Grade Scale "A" dan Adjective Rating "Excellent". Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa aplikasi AR yang dikembangkan memiliki potensi signifikan sebagai media pembelajaran interaktif, memberikan visualisasi yang mendalam dan mendukung pemahaman konsep tata surya secara efektif.

Published: November 2024

Kekurangan gizi menjadi masalah dalam tumbuh kembang anak yang dapat menyebabkan stunting, wasting, mudah terkena penyakit serta penurunan kecerdasan otak dan mental. Stunting di Kabupaten Sikka pada tahun 2022 sebesar 13,8% dari hasil e-PPGBM periode Bulan Agustus 2022. Untuk mengatasi masalah ini diperlukan klasifikasi status stunting yang sangat berpengaruh terhadap tumbuh kembang anak sehingga dapat memberikan perhatian lebih dari faktor stunting yang paling tinggi di suatu daerah. Dengan bertambahnya jumlah balita dan peningkatan kasus stunting, proses penyelesaian tidak bisa dilakukan dengan cepat. Selain itu, tidak semua petugas posyandu bisa menghitung status gizi balita secara manual. Oleh karena itu, agar orang tua dan kader posyandu dapat mengetahui kondisi anak lebih cepat, diperlukan sistem yang menggunakan model algoritma C4.5. Sistem ini mampu mengolah data numerik (kontinu) dan diskrit. Penelitian ini menggunakan 5 atribut, yaitu usia, inisiasi menyusui dini (Imd), tinggi badan, jenis kelamin, dan berat badan. Keistimewaan penelitian ini adalah penggunaan atribut Inisiasi Menyusui Dini (IMD) yang belum pernah digunakan dalam penelitian sebelumnya dengan data numerik. Penggunaan algoritma C4.5 untuk menganalisis hasil stunting dan menyajikannya dalam bentuk website menghasilkan tingkat akurasi yang tidak jauh berbeda dengan pembagian data latih dan data uji sebesar 92.68 dan 90.98% dengan Max Dept 10.

The Future of Hadith Studies in the Digital Age: Opportunities and Challenges
Authors: Abdulrahman Mohammed Adnan
Published: November 2024

In this study that we have conducted, which is concerned with the digital progress in the study of Hadith science, which is related to Islamic studies, with a focus on the social and religious opportunities and challenges that this shift from ancient studies to a new type of studies in Hadith science brings, we begin our study by providing an overview of the religious and historical importance as well as the scientific importance of one of the most important Islamic sciences, which is Hadith science in Islamic studies. This study indicates the potential of digital technology in reshaping the traditional methodology of Hadith science. In this research paper, we will discuss the benefits that digital technology offers, especially in preserving ancient manuscripts that contain Prophetic hadiths and facilitating access to comprehensive databases, i.e. facilitating the researcher’s access to a huge number of hadiths and using artificial intelligence to analyze the complex networks of narrators and classifying hadiths according to their sources. This research also addresses the challenges facing the development of Hadith science between the past and the present, i.e. between the digitization of Hadith science and the old methods used in transferring and studying Hadith science, such as preserving the accuracy of texts when converting them from the paper system to the digital system, as well as the potential challenges in designing algorithms and ethical issues related to digital interpretations of modern texts or Hadith texts. This research paper also emphasizes the need to develop standards that include guarantees for trust, authenticity and honesty, and it addresses the social impacts resulting from the spread of hadiths via social media over the Internet, which may lead to misuse of these tools or misinterpretations of hadiths or by publishing unverified hadiths. In the future vision of this research paper, we envision this study as an integration between the traditional style in the science of hadith and modern technology and digital tools used in the science of Islamic hadith. It also contributes to establishing research networks and enhancing cooperation between hadith scholars and scholars in the digital technology system. At the end of the research paper, we analyzed a comparison between traditional and digital styles, focusing on the weaknesses and strengths of each of these two approaches. In the end, the study shows the potential of digital innovation in developing the science of hadith, provided that this modern system is used with respect for scientific accuracy and ethical standards to avoid using it in unethical and unscientific ways.

Mechanisms of metabolism disruption across different life stages of the zebrafish : exploring the role of paraoxonase 1 in metabolic pathways
Authors:   , van den Boom Rik
Published: November 2024

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are a group of chemicals that interact with the endocrine system, causing adverse effects. Some EDCs, commonly known as metabolism disrupting chemicals (MDCs), have the potential to disrupt an organism’s energy metabolism. MDCs are known to increase the risk of metabolic disorders, such as diabetes and obesity. Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) is an enzyme with antioxidant functions that has been suggested to play a role in metabolism disruption: it has been associated with the occurence of human metabolic disorders by genome-wide association studies. In this work, we used the zebrafish, an established model in toxicology, to study the mechanisms of metabolism disruption in different life stages (embryo, larva, adult), including the role and responses of PON1. By exposing zebrafish embryos to different MDCs we demonstrated how metabolism disruption can lead to adverse effects in the earliest life stages of fish. Our larval and embryonic zebrafish data suggest that PON1 may respond to oxidative stress that is induced by metabolism disruption. In addition, by comparing wild type to PON1 knockout larvae we showed how PON1 may also play a role in metabolism disruption by modulating metabolic processes directly, in addition to its antioxidant role. Overall, our results provide new insights into the mechanisms underlying the interactions between metabolism disruption and PON1 in zebrafish. This work can support the development of novel approaches and test methods for the identification and characterization of MDCs.

Authors: Bashar Khairul , Jan Rahim , Hussain Muhammad , Muhammad Izhar
Published: November 2024

The purpose of the current study was to measure the level of library anxiety among library and information science students in the universities of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The total number of populations was 532. The data were collected from a sample of 207 through stratified simple random sampling because of various programs in the LIS discipline. The study used a quantitative, descriptive survey method using the Library Anxiety Scale questionnaire to collect data from the respondents. The AQAK library anxiety instrument was used to measure the respondents’ library anxiety level and significance differences with respect to respondents’ gender and their program of study. The overall status of the study also found that the respondents' library anxiety level with respect to ''Information resources' was higher among LIS students than other factors. This study also reported that no significant difference was found between male and female students with respect to library anxiety. However, the library anxiety mean score for the BS students was higher than that of M. Phil/MS students, but few differences were found between M.Phil/MS and MLIS students. This study suggests that updated information may be provided to the LIS students, and an information literacy program should be arranged for the newly enrolled students in LIS to decrease the level of library anxiety.

Published: November 2024

This research attempts to analyze Umm-e-Rumman Syed's Poetry collection from a feminist stylistic perspective to investigate various stylistic elements used for male and female characters. This anthology of poetry book Beautiful Inadequacies is written by an emerging Pakistani poetess, Umm-e-Rumman Syed, and was published in August 2020. This collection of poetry is divided into two parts, "Reminiscence of Adolescence" and "Reminiscence of Adolescence and Beyond," which portray life from age 13 to 17 and from 17 to 20, respectively, in a total of 130 poems (35-95). The present study aims to examine the cruel and unjust attitude of society toward women. The study employs Sara Mills's Feminist Stylistic theory (1995) to examine how women are presented in a text. This study uses textual analysis as a methodology to examine words, phrases/sentences, discourses, and themes of different selected poems from the proposed text. Moreover, the writer has used generic nouns, women as the marked form, endearment and diminutives at the level of the word, metaphors, transitivity choices, presupposition and inferences at the level of phrase/sentence, and fragmentation at the discourse level. The study concluded that different terms are used for women, which shows the lower, passive, dependent nature of women in society and also shows some hope, bravery, resistance, and self-realization. Meanwhile, men are shown as active actors in all their actions.

Метеорологический хейлит — это хроническое воспалительное заболевание губ, возникающее из-за повышенной чувствительности организма к различным метеорологическим факторам, таким как изменение влажности, ветер, холод и солнечное излучение. Это заболевание широко распространено и трудно поддается лечению, а длительное течение может привести к предраковым состояниям, таким как хейлит Манганотти и ограниченный гиперкератоз красной каймы губ. Сложный патогенез метеорологического хейлита остается недостаточно изученным, что снижает эффективность терапевтических и профилактических методов. Цель: Изучить распространенность метеорологического хейлита среди студентов стоматологического факультета Рязанского государственного медицинского университета и выявить группы риска. Материалы и методы: Всего в исследовании приняли участие 52 студента стоматологического факультета, которые заполнили специально разработанный опросник. Результаты: Среди 52 участников метеорологический хейлит был диагностирован у 45% мужчин и 66% женщин, причем у 86% заболевание проявилось после переезда в Рязанскую область. Вывод: Высокая распространенность метеорологического хейлита среди студентов стоматологического факультета указывает на необходимость проведения профилактических мер, особенно для женщин, которые могут быть более восприимчивы к данному заболеванию из-за стрессовых факторов.

Bowel preparation for colonoscopy was designed as a means to improve the diagnostic and therapeutic accuracy and safety of the procedure. Adequate bowel preparation is important for a successful colonoscopy. The effectiveness of colonoscopy may limited by the particular circumstances of a person’s health such as age, pregnancy and comorbidities or even mental state that impede the ability to comply with the instructions for preparation of the bowel. Therefore, it is necessary for the endoscopic healthcare team to identify the specific conditions of the patient and to choose the suitable laxative agent. The purpose of this review is to explore the most efficient and safest bowel preparation for colonoscopy in individuals with underlying diseases, to reduce the frequency of inadequate preparation, adverse side effects, mis-diagnoses and suffering of the patient from the need to repeat the examination. For patients with diarrhea, renal failure, hepatic failure, heart problems, dehydration, bleeding, inflammatory bowel diseases, taking antihypertensive medications or are pregnant is safe and effective the use of polyethylenoglycol (PEG). For patients with diabetes, PEG with magnesium citrate or sodium phosphate (NaP) is recommended and for patients with constipation NaP or mosapride. Also, for the elderly before the administration of any laxative, biochemical tests should be done. PEG is the gold standard bowel preparation in patients with underlying diseases. Administration of NaP should be done with caution taking into account its absolute contraindications. The bowel preparations have not been adequately studied in special populations, while there is a need to develop new and more efficient preparation drugs with improved tolerability and reduced side-effects. The selection of a laxative agent should be tailored to each individual, taking into account the underlying disease and patient preference.
