Social Media as a Space for Islamophobia: COVID and Social-Environment Crisis Management
Authors: Chakraborty Swati
Published: November 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed an emergency of prejudice and savagery via social media by traditional ‘patriots’ in India. Meta, Twitter, and Instagram have turned into digital spaces full of deception about the pandemic. Hindu Instagram accounts such as @Hindu_secrets and @Hindu_he_hum have been unwavering and dedicated in spreading Islamophobic crusades by utilizing the COVID-19 pandemic. This has opened doors for hatred directed at Muslim people in India. This study situates itself inside the system of Stuart Hall's encoding and translating hypothesis to reveal the visual and printed codes used to make shameful and obtrusive generalizations that dehumanize and slander specific networks utilizing social media platforms. This is an explorative request that took part through a semiotic examination of the Instagram accounts of @Hindu_secrets and @Hindu_he_hum. The review tracked down encoded generalizations of danger in the utilization of variety, strict designs, garments, and other actual markers of social character in producing Islamophobic content. COVID-19 was depicted to as having Islamic parentage in the images; consequently, it depicted the Muslim people group as sustaining and deliberately spreading the infection across India and abroad.
How Do Economic Conditions Influence Support for Democracy?
Authors: Amri Puspa D.
Published: November 2023

Abundant political economy work has found that societies tend to be less supportive of the political system that governs their country when the economy deteriorates. This paper seeks to enrich the existing literature on economic and democratic assessments by including the relatively under-explored group of developing countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, many of which are Muslim countries.  Using public opinion data from the World Values Survey of 78 countries from 2005 to 2020, the author applies multi-level regressions to test whether the relationship between democratic support and economic growth varies along three dimensions: country affluence, MENA versus non-MENA regions, and type of political regime. Consistent with past studies, the findings in this paper confirm that higher real gross domestic product (GDP) per capita growth significantly enhances public support for democracy. However, it also identifies that the more robustly significant predictors of public support for democracy are political variables, particularly evaluation of government performance. The interaction variables analysis reveals that the effects of economic growth on public support for democracy is weaker in the presence of higher country affluence as well as in more liberal democracies, while being located in the MENA region strengthens the relationship between economic growth and public support for democracy. In addition, respondents who consider free and fair elections as well as protection of civil liberties to be essential features of democracy tend to be more supportive of democracy itself. Meanwhile, those who associate democracy with redistributive policies tend to have a more negative assessment of democracy.

The Governance of Religious Diversity
Authors: Attaftazani Muhammad Ikhsan
Published: November 2023

Routledge Handbook on the Governance of Religious Diversity. Edited by Anna Triandafyllidou and Tina Magazzini, London and New York: Routledge, 2021, xix+327pp, $ 52.95, ISBN: 978-0-367-53826-2

The Routledge Handbook on the Governance of Religious Diversity examines state-religion relations in more than 20 countries across the world. It particularly looks at how these states manage religious diversity. This book discusses that, in ancient times, empires and kingdoms, which were the embodiment of the states, used religion as a tool to control people. In modern times, many countries have become more secularized, hence the role of religion as a tool of control has diminished. States increasingly neglect the role of religion and religious people in society. This book argues that states with secularist ideology still need to pay attention to the role of religion in society.

Published: November 2023

Воспалительные заболевания пародонта (ВЗП) характеризуются ростом и высокой частотой встречаемости в популяции не только среди взрослого населения, но и у детей. Главным принципом лечения и профилактики ВЗП является снижение контаминации микроорганизмов зубной бляшки. Удаление мягких зубных отложений с поверхностей зубов наиболее физиологично проводится при воздушно-абразивной методике. В представленном клиническом исследовании выполнен сравнительный анализ воздушно-абразивных средств различных поколений, применяемых в комплексной профилактике и консервативном лечении воспалительных заболеваний пародонта у детей школьного возраста. Показано, что воздушно-абразивные средства на основе эритритола наряду с хорошими очищающими свойствами обладают более приятными органолептическими качествами и в меньшей степени приводят к повышению чувствительности эмали зубов после проведения профессиональной гигиены полости рта у детей школьного возраста.

Infl ammatory periodontal diseases are characterized by an increase and a high frequency of occurrence in the population not only among the adult population, but also in children. The main principle of treatment and prevention of VZP is to reduce the contamination of microorganisms of dental plaque. Removal of soft dental deposits from the surfaces of teeth is most physiologically carried out with an air-abrasive technique. In the presented clinical study, a comparative analysis of air-abrasive agents of various generations used in the comprehensive prevention and conservative treatment of infl ammatory periodontal diseases in school-age children was performed. It is shown that air-abrasive products based on erythritol, along with good cleansing properties, have more pleasant organoleptic qualities and to a lesser extent lead to increased sensitivity of tooth enamel after professional oral hygiene in school-age children.

Терапия хронических запоров представляет определенные трудности. На основании современных методов исследования и большом клиническом материале (3526 пациентов) показано, что среди больных с так называемыми функциональными запорами у 3,89% детей выявляется анальная ахалазия, у 1,72% — гипертрофия внутреннего сфинктера. Доказана эффективность сфинктеротомии внутреннего сфинктера заднего прохода, изучены ближайшие и отдаленные результаты этой операции. Выявлено, что восстановление нормальной дефекации у пациентов с анальной ахалазией и гипертрофией внутреннего сфинктера заднего прохода при консервативном лечении происходит не более чем в 2–3% случаев, после сфинктеротомии — в 70–90%. Однако этот процесс происходит очень медленно, в течение нескольких лет.

School Clothing in Scotland Research Brief
Authors: Shanks Rachel , Dike Nneoma
Published: November 2023

Summary and main findings 1.Twelve of the 32 local authorities automatically pay school clothing grant to families who receive a qualifying benefit administered by the local authority such as Housing Benefit or income-related Council Tax reduction. 2.School uniform banks report difficulties that are created for families through uniform policies, for example requiring 100% black shoes, items with logos, tartan and hard to find colours, such as turquoise or maroon. 3.In 2022-23 there was a drop in the number of children for whom school clothing grant was awarded while the percentage of children living in poverty increased. A possible explanation for this drop is the provision of universal free school meals. Previously families would have been applying for both free school meals and clothing grant at the same time. This highlights the need to make it easier to receive school clothing grant. 4.Local authorities do not record information in terms of the Scottish Government’s 6 priority family groups for those applying for and/or receiving school clothing grant. Thus, local authorities cannot monitor if certain groups are less likely to apply for or receive the grant under their local Child Poverty Action Plans. 5.Eighteen local authorities have never paid more than the national minimum school clothing grant. However, other local authorities have taken a different approach, for example, in 2023-2024 East Dunbartonshire is providing double the national minimum school clothing grant (£240 for primary and £300 for secondary pupils). In 2022-2023 six authorities made an extra payment over the winter months ranging from £20 to £150.

Published: November 2023

WHO said that adolescence is a period of rapid physical, cognitive, and psychosocial growth [2]. The physical growth of this teenager is marked by menstruation as the beginning of entering the puberty process [3]. Menstruation is regular bleeding from the uterus as a sign that the uterine organs are functioning properly. At this time the uterine blood vessels are very susceptible to infection and can cause diseases of the reproductive tract, urinary tract infections, and skin irritation, therefore cleanliness must be maintained [1,3]. Based on the results of research in 2019 at SMPN 3 Kuripan it was found that the level of knowledge of most of the VII and VIII grade students about personal hygiene during menstruation was still lacking [6]. Partners already have a UKS unit, but the students have never received information about personal hygiene during menstruation either from the local health service agency or the school. Based on the problems above, community service "Self-hygiene counseling during menstruation for students of SMPN 3 Kuripan" was carried out.

This community service partner is the Principal of SMPN 3 Kuripan along with the student body and UKS officers. The distance between STIKes Yarsi Mataram and SMPN 3 Kuripan is 18.5 km. This community service uses the counseling method. Counseling begins with a pre-test and ends with a post-test. The measurement of students' knowledge level was done using a questionnaire. The counseling was carried out using a question and answer lecture method.              

Counseling on personal hygiene during menstruation to students of SMPN 3 Kuripan was able to increase students' knowledge about menstruation and personal hygiene during menstruation from 78% with sufficient knowledge to 60.3% with good knowledge. It is hoped that schools will continue to collaborate with health education institutions or health service agencies in an effort to apply personal hygiene behavior during menstruation at SMPN 3 Kuripan.

Authors: Pinheiro Antonio Adrielson Rodrigues , Miranda Breno
Published: November 2023

As companies strive to reduce the time between software deliveries, manual testing remains a prevalent choice due to its perceived reliability and, in some cases, the lack of expertise in implementing automated test suites that can effectively verify application requirements and functionalities. This is evident in the realm of mobile device testing, where factors such as sensors and hardware can significantly influence the interpretation of test results. This research explores the utilization of robotic arms as a novel approach to enhance automated testing and investigates the impact of software testing on mobile devices with Android from a genuine black box perspective.

Konsensdemokratie und Nationenbildung im Irak und in der Autonomen Region Kurdistan
Authors: Karim Abaas
Published: November 2023

Abaas Karim, who migrated from Iraq to Switzerland as a refugee more than twenty years ago, starts this dissertation from the basic assumption that both for Iraq as a whole and for the Autonomous Region of Kurdistan (ARK) in the north of Iraq, the path towards nation-building is far from complete and that, in view of the ethnic/confessional and political fragmentation of both Iraq and the ARK in particular, the political order of a federalist consensual democracy based on the Swiss model should be striven for. He comes to this conclusion after drawing on Kurdish–Iraqi research literature in particular on the period before 2003. For the years 2003–2018, A. Karim systematically evaluates the two daily newspapers Xebat, the mouthpiece of the DPK (Democratic Party of Kurdistan), and Kurdistan Nwe, the newspaper of the PUK (Patriotic Union of Kurdistan) since 1992, as well as the independent media network Hawlati (‘Citizens’). Abaas Karim has been working for the Swiss Armed Forces since 2014 and is responsible for its Middle East dossier.

Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection: A Case Series Reviewing Typical Presentations of an Atypical Pathology
Authors: Bradshaw Jace C. , Saffire Lisa , Valentine Jake , Weygandt P. Logan
Published: November 2023

Introduction: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare cause of myocardial infarction. Patients suffering SCAD are often young women without typical risk factors for atherosclerotic heart disease. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for SCAD.Case series: We report three cases of patients with SCAD from a single physician in a six-month period. Each case is unique and highlights the varied presentations and epidemiological risk factors associated with this condition.Discussion: We believe these cases are unique in that they provide insights into the variable presentations and conditions frequently associated with SCAD and will help clinicians maintain a high index of suspicion for this difﬁcult to diagnose and rare cause of type 2 myocardial infarction. We discuss differences in interventional techniques and medical management.

Authors: Le Kim Tha , Ngo Thi Dung , Mai Nguyen Thanh Truc , Nguyen Viet Phuong , Le Kim Nguyen
Published: November 2023

Background: Ostomy has become a common therapy for treating gastrointestinal diseases such as colorectal cancer. Patients with ostomy experience many problems including appearance change, uncontrolled discharge and odour, sexual dysfunction, decreased social functioning, and difficulties taking care of themselves. Because of these problems, many patients with ostomies feel anxious, unconfident and afraid to participate in social activities. However, previous studies investigating psychological adjustment in patients with ostomies are scarce. Objectives: This study aimed to survey the level of psychological adjustment and to determine factors associated with the level of psychological adjustment in patients with ostomies. Materials and Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 77 patients with ostomies at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital. The Ostomy Adjustment Inventory-23 (OAI-23) scale was used to interview patients. Results: 61% of patients were male; the mean age of patients was 59.2 ± 14.3 years old, the majority of the Kinh ethnic group (96.1%); 50.6% of participants had a secondary or high school level and 43% of patients had a permanent ostomy. The psychological adjustment score was 40.4 ± 9.8 with 52% of patients assigned to a moderate level of psychological adjustment and 48% assigned to a low level of psychological adjustment. There was a relationship between psychological adjustment and gender (p=0.0001), duration of ostomy (p=0.003) and complication (p<0.001). Patients who received all support related to ostomy care had a higher level of psychological adjustment (p=0.0004). There were no significant differences in psychological adjustment scores among patients with different age groups, residences, ethnicities, marital statuses, education levels, economic statuses, type of surgery, and comorbidities. Conclusions: Patients with ostomy had a moderate level of psychological adjustment. The results indicated a need for supporting programs for patients with ostomies so that they can have better mental health. This can help patients to have optimal treatment and quality of life.

Based on CMS, students can take courses of their choice, learn at their own pace, and take additional courses. Students are the center of this educational system. Thus, undergraduate students’ attitudes and practices towards this system are critical in determining their academic achievement and quality of education. Objectives: to investigate the attitudes and practices of undergraduate students towards CMS. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive correlational design was used. The sample size comprised 242 undergraduate students at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy, including nursing, midwifery, medical laboratory technology, and medical imaging technology, who have experienced CMS for at least 1 year. Students’ attitudes and practices regarding CMS were examined using a 5-likert questionnaire including 20 items for attitudes and 37 for practices. Results: 222 (91.7%) students had positive attitudes towards CMS, with the mean score of the attitude was 79.4+13.5/100. 91.7% of students had positive attitudes towards the advantages of the CMS, and 89.7% of students were willing to participate in learning activities of the CMS. In practice, students also showed a good level (mean=147.4+17.6/185). 81.8% and 18.2% of students were at a good and moderate level of practice, respectively. Among subscales of practice, students’ practices with examination and practicum activities had the highest scores. Meanwhile, practices with theory classes were the lowest. There was a significantly positive association between students’ attitudes and practices of CMS. Conclusions: Most undergraduate students had positive attitudes towards CMS. Despite showcasing a generally good level of practice among student respondents, practices with theory classes should be enhanced. Support and counseling services are recommended to improve students’ positive attitudes and good practices towards CMS.

Background: One of the crucial methods for lowering hospital infections is air disinfection. Because the airborne contagion environment is difficult to control, the development of effective air disinfectants is critical to maintaining a safe air environment and preventing respiratory infections. At the Hospital of Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy, nanosilver and hydroperoxide Ag+ are two different kinds of airborne infection control, so an analytical cross-sectional study was conducted with objectives: to compare the disinfection efficacy of two solutions, nanosilver and 5% Hydroperoxide - 0.005% Ag+, and to assess the efficacy of the silver nano solution and 5% Hydroperoxide - 0.005% Ag+ solution in disinfecting hospital air. Materials and methods: This study was conducted on 156 air microbiological samples in 13 wards at the Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital using Koch's dust deposition method based on the principle of allowing dust to settle on the surface of nutrient agar boxes for a certain period. Data analysis using SPSS 26.0 software. Results: After disinfecting the rooms with nanosilver, the air quality was good in 69.23% of cases and pretty in 30.07%. With 5% Hydroperoxide - 0.005% Ag+, the number of rooms with good air quality was 15.39%, with pretty air was 69.23, and with poor air was 15.39%. Nanosilver can eradicate the fungus from Sabouraud Agar medium, and the density after disinfection was lower than before; the difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Moreover, on Macconkey Agar and Blood Agar medium, bacterial density after disinfecting by nanosilver was decreased; the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Nanosilver reduced the bacterial density in 4 types of rooms better than 5% Hydroperoxide - 0.005% Ag+ solution. However, the difference was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Nanosilver can be used to disinfect the hospital air as an alternative to 5% Hydroperoxide - 0.005% Ag+. Nanosilver disinfects well on gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Additional methods for improving the antifungal impact of nanosilver are required.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition characterized by repeated pauses in breathing during sleep, which is frequently accompanied by snoring, daytime sleepiness, and decreased concentration. Several scales, including the STOP-BANG and EPWORTH scores, have been developed to screen people at high risk for OSA. There have been few studies on both OSA risk and anthropometric characteristics, academic performance in student populations, particularly medical students. Objectives: (1) Determine the proportion of medical students at risk of OSA based on STOP-BANG score, EPWORTH score, and their academic performance; and (2) Survey the association between some anthropometric characteristics, STOP-BANG score, daytime sleepiness, and poor academic performance of second-year medical students. Materials and method: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 565 second-year medical students at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy. Results: Our study included 565 students, 44.4% of whom were male. The average BMI was 21.0 kg/m2, the mean neck circumference was 32.9 cm, the mean waist circumference was 73.2 cm, the mean waist/hip ratio was 0.80, the mean systolic blood pressure was 116.2 mmHg, the mean diastolic blood pressure was 67.8 mmHg. The percentage of students at risk of OSA based on STOP-BANG scores was 13.5%, and 58.4% based on EPWORTH scores. Smoking affects 0.9% of students, hypertension affects 2.7%, snoring affects 16.6%, average sleep time is 6.59 hours, and poor academic performance affects 4.4%. According to the STOP-BANG transcript, the percentage of students with poor academic performance (<2.5) in the group at risk of OSA was higher than in the group without the risk of OSA (10.5% versus 3.5%, χ2=7.730, p=0.012). According to the EPWORTH score, the proportion of students with poor academic performance (<2.5) in the group at risk of OSA was lower than in the group without the risk of OSA (χ2=5.406, p=0.02). In multivariable logistic regression analysis, BMI ≥ 23kg/m2 was a risk factor for poor academic results (OR=2.5, p=0.043), while daytime sleepiness was a protective factor for poor academic results (OR = 0.384, p = 0.024). Conclusions: The percentage of students at risk of OSA based on STOP-BANG scores was 13.5%, and 58.4% based on EPWORTH scores. Second-year medical students at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy who are at risk of OSA according to STOP-BANG score have lower academic performance. Poor academic results were associated with BMI ≥ 23kg/m2.
