Poetische Reflexionen über den Suizid beleuchten die Verhältnisse, in denen Menschen verzweifeln. Doch vor welchen Hintergründen tritt die Suizidthematik in Erscheinung? Welche Formen und Funktionen weist sie auf? Handelt es sich um ein psychisches, soziales, politisches oder genderspezifisches Phänomen? Vielleicht um ein mediales oder (quasi)sakrales? Würde eine Neubewertung der Suizidthematik auch neue Lesarten bekannter Texte bzw. neue Sichtweisen auf bekannte Autoren befördern? Solchen Fragen gehen die Beiträger*innen auf den Grund, wobei sie das Aktuelle, mitunter Brisante der Suizidthematik und ihre Vielfältigkeit ins Blickfeld rücken. In diesem Sinne liegt dem thematisch wie methodisch breit aufgestellten Band der Anspruch zugrunde, zu einem differenzierteren literaturwissenschaftlichen Umgang mit dem Gegenstand beizutragen.

According to the term, the language of ethics comes from the word ethos which means customs (habits), while in terms of ethics is the study of human behavior to determine the values ​​of good and bad deeds, while the measure to determine the value is the human mind or resio. Ethics is a whole of norms and judgments that are used by the society concerned to find out how humans should live their lives in a rational way. Ethics functions as an appraiser, determinant, determinant of an action carried out by humans, thus ethics plays a more role as a drafter of behavior carried out by humans. Among teacher ethics according to the perspective of Islamic religious education, namely: 1. Accepting questions raised by students, 2. Not rushing in all matters, 3. Sitting with dignity with calmness and bowing your head, 4. Not being arrogant to all humans, 5. Prioritizing tawadu 'in meeting places and assemblies, 6. Not playing and joking, 7. Showing affection for students when teaching.

Published: February 2022

The prevalence of diabetes varies geographically in the United States, yet little is known whether healthcare providers are located in areas most in need of diabetes care. This study examined the relationship between healthcare provider density and diabetes prevalence in the United States at the county level. We used data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Interactive Diabetes Atlas, the Area Health Resources Files, and the American Community Survey. We used the Getis-Ord Gi* statistic to detect hot spots and cold spots of diabetes prevalence and multinomial logistic regression to examine the relationship between healthcare provider density and a county's location in a hot spot or cold spot. Nurse practitioner density was positively associated with location in a hot spot of diabetes prevalence. Policy makers should consider using incentives to encourage providers to locate to areas with a high prevalence of diabetes.
A Study of Healthcare Services Received under Alternative Medicare Insurance Plans
Authors: Smith Douglas , Stout Steven , Wieck Michael
Published: February 2022

An analysis of detailed medical encounter records for a random sample of one million Missouri Medicare beneficiaries reveals dramatically lower usage of medical services by individuals enrolled in Medicare Advantage Organization health maintenance programs (HMO plans) than by individuals enrolled in traditional Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) plans. Differences in usage and mix of services in five major venues (hospital inpatient, hospital outpatient, general carrier services, home health, and skilled nursing facilities) persist when we control statistically for medical condition and demographic characteristics of insured individuals, availability of medical services in the counties where they reside, and reimbursement arrangements for beneficiaries’ primary-care providers. Continuing growth in enrollment for Medicare Advantage plans is therefore expected to have a substantial impact on the resources required for delivery of healthcare services and upon the venues in which medical services for the elderly will be provided.

Evidence from Disrupted Halo Dwarfs that r-process Enrichment via Neutron Star Mergers is Delayed by ≳500 Myr

The astrophysical origins of r-process elements remain elusive. Neutron star mergers (NSMs) and special classes of core-collapse supernovae (rCCSNe) are leading candidates. Due to these channels’ distinct characteristic timescales (rCCSNe: prompt, NSMs: delayed), measuring r-process enrichment in galaxies of similar mass but differing star formation durations might prove informative. Two recently discovered disrupted dwarfs in the Milky Way’s stellar halo, Kraken and Gaia-Sausage Enceladus (GSE), afford precisely this opportunity: Both have M
⋆ ≈ 108
M
⊙ but differing star formation durations of ≈2 Gyr and ≈3.6 Gyr. Here we present R ≈ 50,000 Magellan/MIKE spectroscopy for 31 stars from these systems, detecting the r-process element Eu in all stars. Stars from both systems have similar [Mg/H] ≈ −1, but Kraken has a median [Eu/Mg] ≈ −0.1 while GSE has an elevated [Eu/Mg] ≈ 0.2. With simple models, we argue NSM enrichment must be delayed by 500–1000 Myr to produce this difference. rCCSNe must also contribute, especially at early epochs, otherwise stars formed during the delay period would be Eu free. In this picture, rCCSNe account for ≈50% of the Eu in Kraken, ≈25% in GSE, and ≈15% in dwarfs with extended star formation durations like Sagittarius. The inferred delay time for NSM enrichment is 10×–100× longer than merger delay times from stellar population synthesis—this is not necessarily surprising because the enrichment delay includes time taken for NSM ejecta to be incorporated into subsequent generations of stars. For example, this may be due to natal kicks that result in r-enriched material deposited far from star-forming gas, which then takes ≈108–109 yr to cool in these galaxies.
The Frequency of Fibromyalgia in Migraine Patients
Authors: Younis Ali , Qasem Yahya , Ali Neamat Sulaiman Alallaf
Published: February 2022

BACKGROUND: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a prevailing debilitating ailment that has been described in patients with migraines in several investigations.

AIM: The study aimed to investigate the frequency of FM in migraine patients and to study the characteristics of migraine patients with comorbid FM.

METHODS: This case–control study was piloted in the Neurology Unit, Department of Medicine in Ibn Sina Teaching Hospital in Mosul, Iraq, between March and November 2020. One hundred consecutive patients with migraine and 100 healthy controls were included in this study. The sociodemographic and headache characteristics of the patients were recorded.

RESULTS: The frequency of FM was statistically higher among participants with migraines (27%) when compared to the controls (5%). Migraine patients with FM had a substantially older mean age and a higher ratio of female gender than migraine patients without FM. FM was found to be more common in patients without versus with aura. Patients with comorbid FM had greater headache frequency (p = 0.0002), headache intensity (p = 0.007), and higher scores on the “Headache Impact Test (HIT-6)” (p = 0.0001).

CONCLUSIONS: There is a high frequency of FM in patients with migraines. Patients with coexistent “FM” and “migraine” tended to have more depressive symptoms, greater headache intensity, headache frequency, and when compared to healthy people, they are more likely to have a significant headache-related disability.
3D-Printed Guides in Bone Tumor Resection: Studying Their Error and Determining a Safety Margin for Surgery

Published: February 2022

3D-printed guides, which have recently been introduced in orthopedic oncology, improve resection accuracy compared with traditional bone resection methods, but there are inaccuracies associated with them. These inaccuracies could lead to disastrous outcomes such as positive tumor resection margins. In this Sawbone study, we sought to quantitatively investigate the margin of error for various jig types and to determine a “safety margin” that could serve as a guide for surgeons and jig engineers in creating 3D-printed jigs that would reduce the risk of potential disastrous results such as positive margins. Various 3D-printed jigs were used to simulate wide resection of a distal femoral bone sarcoma on Sawbone specimens by 10 individuals with no specific prior expertise in cutting guides. We developed a mathematical model using kinematic theory. We defined a safety margin as the amount of change in the osteotomy lines that must be incorporated into the jig design to ensure that the surgeon is at least 98% likely not to have a positive tumor margin. Experiments were conducted to determine the mean deviation experienced in placing cutting guides on the bones. The mean deviation for the four types of cutting guides ranged from 2.86 mm to 6.54 mm. We determined that a jig design should have a safety margin of 4.8 mm for standard guides and 8.65 mm for gusset guides to minimize the possibility of cutting into the tumor as a result of human error in guide placement. Further studies involving cadavers and patients are warranted. [

Primary Intracapsular Polypseudophakia With Posterior Capsulotomy Optic Capture in a Nanophthalmic Eye
Authors: Volante Vincent , Zhu Angela Y. , Yoo Sonia H.
Published: February 2022

PURPOSE:

To describe a novel technique for primary intracapsular polypseudophakia performed on a pediatric patient with unilateral posterior polar cataract in a nanophthalmic eye.

METHODS:

Phacoemulsification combined with primary posterior capsulotomy, anterior vitrectomy, and primary intracapsular polypseudophakia was performed to attain full refractive correction, resulting in a piggyback one-piece intraocular lens (IOL) in the capsular bag with posterior optic capture of an underlying three-piece IOL.

RESULTS:

There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications. By 2 months postoperatively, uncorrected distance visual acuity of 20/50 was achieved (secondary to amblyopia) with plano manifest refraction.

CONCLUSIONS:

This case demonstrates a useful technique in nanophthalmic or hypermetropic eyes for which alternative methods of correcting residual postoperative refractive error may be suboptimal.

A Deep Autoencoder-Based Hybrid Recommender System
Authors: Bougteb Yahya , Ouhbi Brahim , Frikh Bouchra , Zemmouri Elmoukhtar
Published: February 2022

Recommender systems build their suggestions on rating data, given explicitly or implicitly by users on items. These ratings create a huge sparse user-item rating matrix which opens two challenges for researchers on the field. The first challenge is the sparsity of the rating matrix and the second one is the scalability of the data. This article proposes a hybrid recommender system based on deep autoencoder to learn the user interests and reconstruct the missing ratings. Then, SVD++ decomposition is employed, in parallel, to hold information of correlation between different features factors. Additionally, the authors gave a deep analysis of the top-N recommender list from the user's perspective to ensure that the proposed model can be used for practical application. Experiments showed that the proposed model performed better with high-dimensional datasets, and outperformed various hybrid algorithms in terms of RMSE, MAE, and in terms of the final top-N recommendation list.
Temperature Dependency of Friction of Titanium Alloy by Forward Rod-Backward can Combined Extrusion Test
Authors: Nishi Genki , Kubota Yoshihiro , Hayakawa Kunio , Nakamura Tamotsu
Published: February 2022

Forward rod-backward can combined extrusion test was used to investigate the tribological properties of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy with oxide film at cold and warm forging conditions. 0.08 and 0.10 µm-thick oxide films were formed on the test piece by atmospheric oxidation treatment. A friction test was performed without using lubricants. As a result, the oxide film was effective to prevent seizure at cold forging condition, where the friction coefficient was estimated as about 0.15. However, at warm forging condition, a decohesion of the oxide film and seizure occurred, where the estimated friction coefficient was larger than that at cold forging condition. Furthermore, thickening the oxide film was effective against the decohesion and to reduce the friction coefficient.

Recently investigated photocurable, biocompatible plant resin on tissue engineering to provide the scaffold with structural support and mechanical properties. A novel method had been used here to build our scaffold by combined the traditional three-dimensional fused deposition modeling (FDM) printing and injected the structural scaffold after fabrication with plant-based resin. The materials used are polymers a synthesized one polylactic acid and soybean oil epoxidized acrylate. The addition of soybean plant-based resin improves the adhesion and proliferation of the PLA scaffold while also providing structural support to the fabricated scaffold. The purpose of the study made optimization of printing parameters and compared different printing scaffolds to select the perfect one with preferred mechanical properties. Two designs are built (cubic design and cylinder design) to make a comparison of mechanical properties between the two designs. The novel method was used through injected soybean oil resin into the PLA scaffold by avoiding any heat and temperature rise of the resin. In the traditional method, the resin is printed using an SLA printer which exposed the resin to heating before printing, this will affect the properties of the final model in our technique temperature will eliminate by direct inject the plant-based resin into the PLA scaffold and then photocuring with ultraviolet curing device for 30 min at 405nm. Finally, the results demonstrate that after injecting PLA scaffold with soybean oil resin, the mechanical properties of the scaffold improve; additionally, the results show that the cylindrical design has more promising mechanical properties than the cubic design.

Published: February 2022

The Single point incremental sheet forming process known as a SPIF process. Which got a great attraction among other existed sheet metal forming processes because of their flexibility to manufacture complex products. The aluminum alloy material mechanical properties are adopted and integrated into the finite element (FE) code. The tool paths for the truncated cone shape are modeled in Fusion 360 software, and the coordinates are converted into 3D punch tool coordinates by the tool path generation framework tool for modeling the numerical simulation. In numerical modeling, three kinds of mesh settings are used to construct the mesh for producing consistent results. Afterward, the obtained results are tested against the experimental observations and the desired parts dimensions to verify the accuracy of the established FE model. Thickness variations in the formed parts are discussed in detail in terms of the thinning part, thinning location, and its size in percentage. A comparison of tested geometries displays that reduction in thickness tends to be uniform in the wall region and small fluctuation noticed near the tool retraction location. Overall, the statistical results of the SPIF process are well in contract with the experimental measurements. In terms of geometry dimensions and thickness reduction. In addition, the surface roughness was noticed to be increased when the step size is more extensive, and on the other hand, the machining time tends to be more if the contour step size is small in the SPIF process.

Published: February 2022

Functional surfaces have been widely used for control of physical and/or chemical properties of substances on the surface. In the manufacturing industries, some of micro fabrication approaches such as laser processing have been applied to form textured surfaces, which control the surface functions with topographies. This study presents the surface texturing in cutting with micro-scale structured end mills. Micro-scale nicks are fabricated on the cutting edges of PCD (Poly-Crystalline Diamond) end mills in laser finishing. The cutting operation is conducted to form the chips on each nick with the cutter axis inclination in the feed direction. An analytical model is applied to control the surface structure for the spindle speed, the feed rate, the nick geometry and the inclination angle of the cutter axis. Then, the surface structures were fabricated in the actual cutting process. The machining operation in this study is available in fabrication of the micro-scale structures at high production rates and the structures shape can be controlled in the surface simulation.

The Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) undertook marine fieldwork onboard the Canadian Coast Guard Ship (CCGS) Vector to locate and map potential geohazards and geological features in the Salish Sea in the interest of public safety from August 11-18, 2021. This
work was conducted under the Natural Resources Canada Marine Geoscience for Marine Spatial Planning (MGMSP) and the Public Safety Geoscience Programs. The GSC had observed multiple potential faults in existing data near Central Haro Strait, Stuart Channel, South of Hornby Island and near Cape Lazo
through existing CHIRP and multibeam bathymetry data but required further data to quantify their activity and potential seismic risk (Barrie et al, 2021). In addition to fault activity, the GSC had detected numerous large underwater landslide deposits in Howe Sound and Saanich Inlet. The GSC
required further data to constrain volumes and timing of slide activity. In English Bay the origin and evolution of a field of pockmarks was poorly understood. In Burrard Inlet, the survey required a better understanding of frequency of landslides as well as depth of sediment in order to understand
natural sediment depositional rates. The research expedition included deep-tow system (DTS) sub-bottom surveys and multibeam water column and bathymetric surveys in each of these areas to better understand these marine geohazards and processes. Hydrographic surveys were completed by the Canadian
Hydrographic Service (CHS) at night in Pylades Channel and near Point Grey to maximize use of ship time. Weather was good, seas were calm, and good quality data were collected. The data collected will be made publicly available and have the potential to contribute to building codes and to help
communities in their decision-making and understanding of risks.

This collection of data comprises new XRF data, TOC data, and a new table of formation tops for the lower portion of the Devonian clastic wedge (Weatherall, Cape de Bray and Blackley formations sensu Embry and Klovan, 1976) and the underlying basinal and
carbonate-platform strata of variable Ordovician to Lower-Middle Devonian age. Main results include ED-XRF data for 15 well sections within the N.W.T. jurisdiction of the SW Arctic Archipelago. These XRF data were obtained in 2018- 2020 through non-destructive measurements of drillhole cutting
samples using a Bruker Tracer IV instrument. Testing of these samples has been restricted to preserve them for future study as they are irreplaceable. The goal of using the non destructives XFR has given us a methodology that does not harm these samples. We find this to be a reasonable method when
data is required but no destructive testing is permitted, such as in these legacy wells. Reading acquisition procedure and instrument calibrations are discussed herein. These XRF logs cover cumulatively 12,538 m of well sections, which is the best attainable physical coverage for these strata in the
absence of representative cores. For each section surveyed with XRF, we provide graphical striplogs with geophysical logs, descriptive lithology, XRF elemental logs, biostratigraphic data, and, selectively, synthetic seismograms and TOC data. Scientific discussion based on these results is a subject
of a separate paper-in-preparation, (Kabanov, P. 2020.)
Assessment of role of inferior vena cava collapsibility index and variations in carotid artery peak systolic velocity in prediction of post-spinal anaesthesia hypotension in spontaneously breathing patients: An observational study
Authors: Chowdhury Sumit R. , Baidya Dalim K. , Maitra Souvik , Singh Akhil K. , Rewari Vimi , Anand Rahul K.
Published: February 2022

Background and Aims:

Post-spinal anaesthesia hypotension (PSH) is common and can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. The inferior vena cava collapsibility index (IVCCI) and carotid artery peak systolic velocity variations (CAPVV) are two widely used parameters for assessing the volume status of critically ill patients which have also been investigated as predictors of PSH and hypotension after induction of general anaesthesia. In this study, we evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of IVCCI and CAPVV as predictors of PSH.

Methods:

A total of 50 patients aged between 18 and 65 years undergoing elective lower abdominal surgeries under spinal anaesthesia were included. The IVCCI and CAPVV were measured using ultrasound pre-operatively. After administering spinal anaesthesia, haemodynamic data were collected till 15 min. Our primary objective was to evaluate the role of IVCCI and CAPVV to predict PSH. The secondary objectives were to compare the predictive efficacy of these two parameters and to detect other parameters for predicting PSH. We constructed the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves for IVCCI and CAPVV and obtained the best cut-off values.

Results:

The PSH occurred in 34% of the patients. IVCCI >21.15 could predict PSH with 58.8% sensitivity and 69.7% specificity. CAPVV >18.33 predicted PSH with 70.6% sensitivity and 54.6% specificity and IVC max/IVCCI >60 could predict PSH with 58.8% sensitivity and 54.5% specificity. A composite model comprising IVCmax (maximum IVC diameter), CAPVV, and baseline mean blood pressure was able to predict PSH.

Conclusion:

Both IVCCI and CAPVV have poor diagnostic accuracy in predicting PSH in adult patients undergoing elective infra-umbilical surgery.

Background: The Life-Sustaining Treatment (LST) Decisions Act allows withholding and withdrawal of LST, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). In the present study, the incidence of CPR before and after implementation of the Act was compared.Methods: This was a retrospective review involving hospitalized patients who underwent CPR at a single center between February 2016 and January 2020 (pre-implementation period, February 2016 to January 2018; post-implementation period, February 2018 to January 2020). The primary outcome was monthly incidence of CPR per 1,000 admissions. The secondary outcomes were duration of CPR, return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) rate, 24-hour survival rate, and survival-to-discharge rate. The study outcomes were compared before and after implementation of the Act.Results: A total of 867 patients who underwent CPR was included in the analysis. The incidence of CPR per 1,000 admissions showed no significant difference before and after implementation of the Act (3.02±0.68 vs. 2.81±0.75, P=0.255). The ROSC rate (67.20±0.11 vs. 70.99±0.12, P=0.008) and survival to discharge rate (20.24±0.09 vs. 22.40±0.12, P=0.029) were higher after implementation of the Act than before implementation.Conclusions: The incidence of CPR did not significantly change for 2 years after implementation of the Act. Further studies are needed to assess the changes in trends in the decisions of CPR and other LSTs in real-world practice.

Les feux de brousse sont courants en Afrique de l’Ouest et au Sahel. Ils contribuent à modifier sans cesse le paysage. Cette étude a été réalisée en Afrique de l’Ouest et en Mauritanie. Elle visait l’élaboration de plaidoyer pour la gestion des feux de brousse. Il s’agit plus spécifiquement, de contribuer à l’amélioration des connaissances sur la distribution spatiale et temporelle des feux de brousse. Pour cela, les données de MODIS (Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) allant de 2014 à 2020 ont été utilisées. La répartition des feux actifs durant la saison 2019/2020 a été analysée et comparée à la moyenne des 5 dernières années précédant la période d’étude. De façon générale, la saison des feux démarre entre octobre à novembre et se termine en avril, avec des pics qui se manifestent à partir de décembre. Il ressort que 70% des occurrences des feux apparaissent entre décembre et février ce qui a permis de classer les pays en 7 groupes. Cette étude a également montré que le taux de détection des feux dépend du type d’occupation de sol. Enfin, elle montre l’importance des informations produites pour une meilleure gestion des ressources naturelles disponibles dans un contexte de changement climatique.

 

English title: Wildfires monitoring in West Africa and the Sahel, a decision support tool

Wildfires are common in West Africa and the Sahel and contributes to shape the landscape. The study was carried out in West Africa and Mauritania. The main goal of this study is a plea for monitoring wildfires in West Africa. The specific goal was to improve knowledge on the spatial and temporal distribution of wildfires in West Africa. Data from (2014-2020) of Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) have been utilized and processed using descriptive statistics. Repartition of active fire detection during 2019/2020 has been studied and compared with the mean of the previous five years (2014-2018). In general, fire season begins from October to November and ends in April with peaks starting in December. Our study revealed that 70% of wildfires are observed from December to February and this helps to classify the countries of the study area into 7 groups. Moreover, it has been showed that fire detection rate depends on the type of soil occupation. Finally, his study shows that data from remote sensing can be used to provide information to help decision-making for monitoring the available natural resources under a climate change context.

Une étude en vue d’évaluer le potentiel de séquestration du carbone des Agroforêts à base de Caféiers Robusta (ACR) a été menée dans quatre sites contrastés par leurs caractéristiques biophysiques et socioéconomiques, et appartenant à trois bassins de production du café au Cameroun. L’approche méthodologique a porté sur la collecte des données d’inventaires dans 120 ACR de différents âges (30 par site); lesquelles ont permis d’estimer le potentiel de séquestration du carbone de façon non-destructive en utilisant les équations allométriques. Le potentiel de séquestration du carbone évalués ont varié significativement entre les sites, de 67,84±45,41 t C.ha-1 à Ayos à 41,94±15,50 t C.ha-1 à Nkongsamba. Globalement, ces potentiels de séquestration du carbone diminuaient suivant le gradient d’anthropisation des sites d’étude. Les ACR des classes d’âge (années) de [30-45[et de [45-60[ont eu les potentiels de séquestration du carbone les plus élevés pour les Espèces associées (EA) et les caféiers respectivement. Le potentiel de séquestration du carbone des EA endogènes (19,46 t C.ha-1 ) était plus élevé que celui des EA introduites (6,32 t C.ha-1). Ces résultats montrent que la contribution des ACR dans les mécanismes d’atténuation des effets du changement climatique est une évidence qu’il faudrait capitaliser.

 

English title: Carbon sequestration potential of robusta coffee agroforests (Coffea canephora var. robusta) in production basins of Cameroon

A study to assess the carbon sequestration potential of Robusta coffee Agroforests (RCAs) was carried out in four sites, contrasted by their biophysical and socio-economic characteristics, and belonging to three coffee production basins in Cameroon. The methodological approach involves the collection of inventory from 120 RCAs of different ages, (30 per site), which allowed no-destructive estimation of carbon stocks using. The assessed carbon sequestration potentials evaluated varied significantly between sites, from 67.84 ± 45.41 Mg C.ha-1 in Ayos to 41.94 ± 15.50 Mg C.ha-1 in Nkongsamba. Overall, these carbon sequestration potentials decreased along the anthropization gradient of the study sites. RCAs of the [30-45[ and [45-60 [age classes (years) had the highest carbon sequestration potentials for associated species (Eas) and coffee trees respectively. The potential of carbon sequestration of the endogenous EA (19.46 Mg C.ha -1 ) was higher than that of the introduced EA (6.32 Mg C.ha -1). These results show that the contribution of RCAs in climate change mitigation mechanisms is evident and should be capitalized upon.

Do Patients Underestimate Their Symptoms in Hindsight? An Ambulatory Assessment Study on the Frequency of Dissociation in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
Authors: Beutler Sarah , Daniels Judith , Laddis Andreas
Published: February 2022

Assessing symptom frequencies is a core feature of psychological diagnostics and any evaluation of the effectiveness of a therapeutic approach is based on these. However, heuristic strategies are employed when estimating the frequency of past events, which can lead to recall biases. While the few studies published to date indicate that patients suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder tend to underreport dissociative symptoms, there is also some evidence for the tendency to overreport dissociative symptoms. To gain insights into absolute frequencies of dissociative symptoms and retrospective reporting styles we used ambulatory assessment in 42 participants with PTSD symptoms. Participants logged their symptoms via smartphone over 2 weeks and then estimated them again retrospectively for this entire period. In comparison to the daily logs, more participants tended to retrospectively underestimate experienced symptoms in their frequency for almost all items. The results reported in this sample thus argue for an underreporting style instead of overreporting of dissociative symptoms.

Trichophyton rubrum is the most common cause of dermatophytosis. The use of synthetic-antifungals has several side effects and resistance. Exract of tamarillo (Solanum betaceum Cav.) fruits contains active compounds that have potential as antifungal, including alkaloids, saponins, tannins, phenolics, and flavonoids This study aims to determine the effectiveness of tamarillo extract as antifungals against the growth of T. rubrum. This study used ethanol extract of tamarillo fruits with a concentration based on volume/volume (v/v) percentage of 20%; 40%; 60%; and 80%, ketoconazole as positive control, and aquadest as negative control. The antifungal test was conducted by using well diffusion method on Saboraud-Dextrose-Agar medium and was incubated for 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours. Data were analyzed by Kruskall-Wallis-test with the results p=0.01, p=0.000, p=0.000 respectively according to the length of incubation time. Data were analyzed for Post-Hoc by Mann-Whitney-test showing the three groups of data had significant differences in results between the two treatment groups. Most effective extract group was the extract with concentration of 20% at incubation time of 24 hours with relatively strong antifungal properties. The results showed that the tamarillo fruits extract as antifungal are effective towards growth of T. rubrum which indicated by the presence of  inhibition zone at a concentration of 20%; 40%; 60%; and 80 after being incubated for 24 hours with diameters of 13,375 mm, 15,725 mm, 17,025 mm and 19.25 mm, respectively.
