Participation in Daily Activities Among Women 5 Years After Breast Cancer
Authors: Loubani Khawla , Schreuer Naomi , Kizony Rachel
Published: June 2022

Importance: Understanding the long-term participation restrictions after breast cancer (BC) is crucial for developing occupation-based interventions.

Objective: To (1) compare women’s participation during the BC subacute phase (2 yr postdiagnosis) with the chronic (5 yr postdiagnosis) phase, (2) explore factors associated with participation in the chronic phase, and (3) describe strategies women use to overcome participation restrictions.

Design: Descriptive longitudinal study.

Setting: A community health service in Israel.

Participants: A convenience sample of 30 women (M age = 53.9 yr, SD = 8.3) diagnosed with BC (Stages 1–3).

Outcomes and Measures: Demographic and BC–related symptom questionnaires; an adapted version of the Activity Card Sort, used to assess retained activity levels (RALs) compared with prediagnosis activity levels in sociocultural, physical, and instrumental domains; the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure; and one open-ended qualitative question, “How were you able to retain your participation in daily activities despite the long-term effects of BC?”

Results: Significantly higher total RALs were found in most domains for women in the chronic (M = 0.93 RAL, SD = 0.27) compared with the subacute (M = 0.71, SD = 0.22) phase, t(29) = 4.72, p < .001. Almost half the women achieved clinically significant change in their meaningful activities. Lower levels of participation were significantly correlated with higher symptom severity. The qualitative findings indicated that coping strategies, such as positive thinking and changing priorities, helped in managing women’s participation.

Conclusions and Relevance: Participation restrictions and residual BC-related symptoms 5 yr postdiagnosis demonstrated the need for a comprehensive evaluation and early occupational therapy intervention to prevent long-term restrictions.

What This Article Adds: This study highlights the value of a comprehensive assessment of daily participation (i.e., participation in various activity domains and in specific individual meaningful activities) of women with BC. The combination of quantitative and qualitative analysis provided a subjective perspective and deeper understanding of the associations among long-term symptoms, participation restrictions, and coping strategies.
ALTERAÇÕES NOS NÍVEIS DE TRIGLICERÍDEOS E HDL OBSERVADOS NA RESISTÊNCIA À INSULINA
Authors: Prudencio Patricia Barbosa de Castro , Corrêa Renata Heinen
Published: June 2022

Introdução: A resistência à insulina é um estado patológico comum de etiologia genética e ambiental na qual os tecidos periféricos não respondem aos níveis normais de insulina circulante. Ela tem sido considerada a base fisiopatológica entre as diversas alterações presentes na síndrome metabólica, como a hipertensão arterial, a intolerância à glicose, o diabetes, as dislipidemias e a presença de estados pró-inflamatórios. O tecido adiposo, quando resistente à insulina, não responde ao efeito antilipolítico deste hormônio e aumenta a hidrólise dos triglicerídeos armazenados, sob a ação catalítica de diversos tipos de lipases, com consequente liberação de quantidades excessivas de ácidos graxos livres na circulação, o que pode vir a desencadear uma série de distúrbios lipídicos. Objetivo: Este trabalho tem por objetivo descrever, por meio de revisão da literatura, a relação entre alterações de triglicerídeos e HDL e a resistência à insulina. Material e métodos: Foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica nas seguintes bases de dados científicos Google acadêmico, Scielo, BIREME e Pubmed, utilizando os seguintes ;descritores: “Triglicerídeos”; “HDL-Colesterol”; “Resistência à insulina”;“Dislipidemias”; “Síndrome metabólica”. Resultados: Alguns autores observaram que os portadores de resistência à insulina apresentam maior predisposição para desenvolver, posteriormente, síndrome metabólica, diabetes mellitus tipo 2 e doenças cardiovasculares. Para tanto, foram avaliados dados bioquímicos, clínicos, estilo de vida e composição corporal de indivíduos, de ambos os sexos, cujos resultados apontaram para resistência à insulina e síndrome metabólica. Segundo esses dados, o sexo feminino apresentou maior prevalência de dislipidemia, excesso de gordura corporal e resistência à insulina, em contrapartida, o masculino demonstrou maior prevalência de HDL baixo, hiperuricemia e pressão arterial alterada. Conclusão: A relação Triglicerídeos/colesterol HDL foi indicador bioquímico promissor para estabelecer o perfil lipídico na avaliação dos níveis mais elevados da resistência a insulina, parecendo ser mais eficiente que a determinação do HDL-colesterol ou hipertrigliceridemia isolados.

Introdução: O Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) é uma doença crônica que compreende em sua manifestação um grupo de desordens metabólicas que podem estar relacionadas desde variações hiperglicêmicas até às alterações dislipidêmicas. Sua manifestação se dá por resistência à ação da insulina somada a baixa produção da mesma nas células ẞ pancreáticas. A DM2 foi caracterizada como diabetes tipo adulto, pois estima-se que sua prevalência seja na população acima dos 40 anos, levando assim a um dos fatores que podem originar diversas alterações orais nocivas ao paciente. Objetivo: Ressaltar a importância do controle glicêmico, indispensável aos pacientes diabéticos, tendo em vista as possíveis manifestações prejudiciais à sua saúde. Material e métodos: Foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica integrativa através de pesquisa em banco de dados científicos como Pubmed, Google acadêmico e Scielo buscando artigos relacionados ao tema publicados entre 2017 e 2022. Resultados: Nos últimos anos têm sido relatadas alterações bucais observadas em pacientes descompensados, uma vez que há diminuição da reação imunológica às infeções bacteriana, fúngica e viral. Essas desordens favorecidas pelo descontrole glicêmico têm sua progressão associada a inúmeras complicações, tais como: alterações gengivais e periodontais, infecções por Candida albicans, xerostomia, síndrome da ardência bucal, hipossalivação, queilite, ulcerações na mucosa bucal, cárie dentária, perda de dentes permanentes, dificuldade de cicatrização, opacidade demarcada no esmalte dental e outras manifestações orais. Estudos sugerem que os indivíduos tratados com hipoglicemiantes orais, principalmente a metformina, tiveram menos prevalência de alterações periodontais. As condições bucais resultantes da DM2 podem ter um impacto significativo na vida do paciente, ocasionando além das diversas patologias citadas, alterações metabólicas que aumentam as chances de desenvolvimento de complicações que podem ser irreparáveis. Conclusão: Torna-se necessário o controle glicêmico, a manutenção das condições de saúde bucal, acompanhamento multidisciplinar com odontólogo, médico e farmacêutico para estabelecer os procedimentos adequados e correta terapia medicamentosa , culminando na reeducação e melhoria desse paciente.

Hegel’de özbilincin nesnesi olarak sanat
Authors: Kaya Ekin
Published: June 2022

Hegel tüm nesnel gerçekliği bütünsel olarak açıklayan sistematik bir felsefe sistemi kurmuştur. Hegel’in bütünsel sisteminin bir parçası olan sanat felsefesi, bu sistemin en temel kavramlarıyla ilişkilendirilerek oluşturulmuştur. Bu çalışmada Hegel’in sanat anlayışının bu kavramlarla ilişkisi irdelenecek ve Hegel için tarihin amacı olan insanın özbilince, yani özgürlüğe ulaşımında sanatın yeri gösterilmeye çalışılacaktır. Özbilinci Hegel, Mutlağın, hakikatin insan bilinci aracılığıyla tarihsel, toplumsal, kültürel gerçekliğin içerisinde ilerleyici bir biçimde kazandığı bir sonuç olarak görür. Bu noktada Hegel’de bu toplumsal, tarihsel, kültürel, başka deyişle insansal gerçekliğin bir eklemlenmesi olarak sanat, insanın yaratıcı etkinliğiyle hakikatin kendi bilincine vardığı alandır. Bu çalışma, Hegel’de sanatın hakikati, yani ‘bütün’ü, insansal gerçekliği nasıl görünüşe çıkardığı ve özbilince ulaşmada nasıl bir öneme sahip olduğu irdelenecektir.

Abstrak: Produksi tebu di Indonesia tersebar di beberapa wilayah yang mengakibatkan variabilitas yang tinggi dari variabel-variabel yang mempengaruhi produksi tebu nasional. Di samping itu, tidak mudah untuk mendapatkan data-data tersebut dalam waktu yang cukup panjang. Oleh karena itu peramalan produksi tebu nasional berdasarkan variabel-variabel tersebut sangat sulit dilakukan.  Sebagai solusi dari masalah tersebut, maka peramalan produksi tebu nasional dilakukan berdasarkan data historisnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan model recurrent neural networks (RNN) untuk peramalan produksi tebu nasional berdasarkan data historisnya. Data yang digunakan adalah data produksi tebu nasional dari tahun 1967 sampai dengan tahun 2019 dalam satuan ton. Sebagai data latih digunakan data tahun 1967 sampai dengan tahun 2006 dan sisanya dipakai sebagai data uji. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan percobaan untuk mengetahui pengaruh panjang deret waktu dan ukuran batch terhadap kinerja model RNN dengan tiga ulangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa model RNN dengan panjang deret waktu 4 dan ukuran batch 16 menghasilkan nilai mean absolut percentage error (MAPE) sebesar 9.0% dengan nilai korelasi 0.77. Secara umum, model RNN yang dibangun mampu menangkap pola produksi tebu nasional dengan tingkat kesalahan yang masih dapat ditoleransi.

Abstract: Sugarcane production in Indonesia is spread over several regions. This condition results in high variability of the variables that affect national sugarcane production. In addition, it is not easy to obtain these data over a long period. As a result, it is very difficult to forecast the production of national sugarcane based on the influencing variables. Therefore, the forecasting was based on historical data of the national sugarcane production. This study aims to develop a recurrent neural networks (RNN) model for forecasting national sugarcane production based on historical data. The data used is national sugarcane production data from 1967 to 2019 in tons. As training data, data from 1967 to 2006 were used and the rest was used as test data. In this study, an experiment was conducted to determine the effect of time series length and batch size on the performance of the RNN model with three replications. The results showed that the RNN model with a time series length of 4 and a batch size of 16 produced a mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of 9.0% with a correlation value of 0.77. In general, the RNN model is able to capture the national sugarcane production pattern with a tolerable error rate.

Published: June 2022

Myrica esculenta Buch-ham. Ex D. Don or “Himalayan bayberry” (family Myricaceae) is an extremely valuable wild edible plant whose root, bark, leaves and fruits possess therapeutic properties and are active ingredient in several ayurvedic formulations employed for the treatment of various ailments and disorders including asthma,
chronic bronchitis, ulcers, anemia, fever, diarrhea etc. Polyphenols from Himalayan bayberry fruit pulp and seeds were extracted using 80% acetone. TPC and TFC in the pulp and seed extracts were determined according to the FolinCiocalteau method and aluminum chloride method respectively. Antioxidant potentials of pulp and seed extracts were determined as DPPHRSA, ABTSRSA and FRA. Anti-proliferative activities of the fruit pulp and seed extracts were analyzed against breast cancer cell line MDA-MB231. 80% acetone extracts of seed (MeSA) showed very high TPC (4143.02±29.3 mg Gallic acid equivalent/100 g FW and TFC (1397.72±28.44 mg catechin equivalent/100 FW) which were 11 and 5 times greater than that were found in pulp extracts (MePA). MeSA extracts showed exceptionally high antioxidant activities with respect to the DPPHRSA and ABTSRSA (IC50, 0.1153 mg/ml and 0.0017 mg/ml respectively) and ferric reducing activities. In addition, MeSA extracts was highly toxic to the breast cancer cell line
MDA-MB231 showing 92% inhibition at 10 mg/ml while remaining ineffective against normal transformed cell line HEK293. The inhibition was much higher than that showed by pulp extracts (64%) at the same concentrations. This is the first report demonstrating an excellent ability of M. esculenta seed aqueous acetone extract with superior
antioxidant activity and antiproliferative potential against breast cancer cells. Therefore, this study recommends utilization of M. esculenta seed for the development of nutraceutical and pharmaceutical formulations.
Histopathological Studies On The Liver Of Rats Exposed With Toluene And Trichloroethylene Pre-Treated With Phenobarbital
Authors: Gupta Sujata , Kumar Dharmendra
Published: June 2022

In rats, the effect of phenobarbital Pre-treatment on the toxicity of a variety of halogenated organic solvent has been investigated. The current findings show that Phenobarbital pre- treatment significantly reduces the toxicity of toluene and trichloroethylene. Our observations Show that toluene is more hepatotoxic than trichloroethylene. It causes peculiar ultra-structural changes i.e. involution of nuclear membrane and irregular arrangement of mitochondrial cristae. However, using single high- dose levels of these solvents, a potentiating impact of Phenobarbital on the toxicity of other organic solvents such as methanol, xylene, and methylene chloridecould not be demonstrated. Because barbiturates are commonly used by industrial workers, it’s crucial to be aware of the possibility of synergistic effect from inhaling of organic solvents, as well as of potentiation associated with others.

Published: June 2022

The Geomagnetic Storms which occur one after the other within the time gap of 24 hours or which occur before the previous one has ended are investigated. Only those Geomagnetic storms for which Dst index falls below -100nT are chosen and the period selected is from 1996 to 2006. The investigation is done in two ways: 1) by considering each storm separately and 2) by considering the storms occurring in succession as single storm and assessing their cumulated effect. For doing so, the solar and interplanetary data like solar wind speed, interplanetary magnetic field etc. are observed and correlated with Dst index. Thus, the two ways of investigations are compared and analyzed.
Determining Interconnectedness of Barriers to Interface Management in Large Construction Projects
Authors: Malla Vijayeta , Delhi Venkata Santosh Kumar
Published: June 2022

This study aims to identify the crucial barriers to interface management and understand the interdependencies in Large Infrastructure Construction Projects (LICP). Three-pronged sequential explanatory mixed methods research is adopted comprising a structured survey of experts (n=102) and semi-structured interviews (n=13). Subsequently, interpretive structural modelling (ISM) integrated with fuzzy protocol is used to analyse pairwise interrelationships among these factors. A ‘Multi-layered IM barrier’ model is developed with ‘Process related issues,’ 'Misaligned incentives among project stakeholders' and 'Frequent Change Orders' as the manifested barriers. On the other hand, this study also prioritized the barriers and classified them as driving, linking, and independent. The outcome of this study presents the interdependence of barriers and classification of barriers, focusing on proactive action on driving barriers, which is crucial to the knowledge of interface management. The impact position of LICP with the identified project issues can be compared against ‘Multi-layered IM barriers’ and can help project teams better strategize IM by focusing on essential barriers. In addition, such exercises can improve the coordination among participants in construction projects. Using a structured approach to identifying interdependencies among barriers to IM is a significant original contribution by the study.

La campaña audiovisual de Juntos por el Cambio implementada en las elecciones nacionales 2019 incorporó a sus spots imágenes inscriptas a un sujeto enunciador, perteneciente a la ciudadanía, ubicado fuera de sus cuadros. La posición de su cámara registró, a través de procedimientos acaso más realistas, una serie de obras públicas ejecutadas o en estado de elaboración. El objetivo de esta investigación consiste en examinar los distintos niveles enunciativos que componen las imágenes, con el propósito de reconocer la proyección hacia su interior que realiza un sujeto de naturaleza incorpórea. Hemos elaborado un corpus de propagandas difundidas durante la instancia de las PASO, en las cuales se observa la aplicación de la técnica denominada desembrague cinematográfico. Se concluye que Juntos por el Cambio ocultó su trabajo de producción tras las imágenes elaboradas por los ciudadanos que muestran los spots.

Published: June 2022

This study aimed at determining the Blended Learning with Online Assessment in Higher Education as basis for Global Environmental Dimensions of Sustainability. Specifically, this study sought answers to the following: students’ assessment on blended learning with online assessment and significant features of blended learning with online assessment as perceived by the students. It was found that blended learning changes the way that students of all types and ages interact and access information. Blended learning is very well accepted by the students and the program is very acceptable among experts. Likewise, the integrity of learning is kept as it does not have a significant relationship with level of acceptability. A well-developed blended learning course just like a well-developed traditional course could open up new worlds of learning for students. To address the current findings, the institution has to do the following: provide state-of-the-art technologies that pave the way for more opportunities so that learners would maximize their skills and knowledge thru online learning environment, upgrade themselves in order to plan lessons and design activities employing varied modern strategies based on the needs of their learners, prepare the facilities so students can have access to the internet, come up with models to monitor interaction time of teachers and students’ engagements, offer tutorial program that included basic operation and improving keyboarding skills, and finally further in-depth studies should be conducted on the impact of technology both on the study habits of learners and teaching strategies of teachers in the academe.

Uluslararası Müzeler Konseyi (ICOM) tarafından 2019 yılında üzerinde çalışılan yeni müze tanımında vurgulanan geçmiş ve gelecek bağlantısı kurma, demokratikleştirici, kapsayıcı ve çok sesli alanlar olmak gibi işlevler 1899 yılından beri varlığını sürdüren; eğitim bilimde yaşanan gelişmelere paralel ilerlemeler kaydeden ve kendi içinde farklı türlere ayrılarak sayıca çoğalan çocuk ve gençlik müzelerinin var oluş felsefeleri ve amaçlarıyla örtüşmektedir. Tamamen eğitsel amaçlı açılmakta ve çalışmakta olan bu müzeler ziyaretçi merkezli ve etkileşimli müze anlayışının çıkış noktası olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bu bağlamda çocuk müzesi, ICOM tarafından henüz resmi olarak onaylanmasa da toplumsal işlevleri öne çıkan yeni müze tanımına katkı sağlayacak içeriğe sahiptir. Ziyaretçi katılımının öne çıktığı etkileşimli örneği olan çocuk müzesinde seçim ve kontrol çocuklara bırakılmakta; bilgi ve kişisel deneyim ön plana çıkmakta; kişisel yaşantılarla bağ kurulmakta, iletişim ve iş birliğinin sağlanacağı öğrenme programları oluşturulmakta ve duyguları harekete geçirecek eğlenceli uygulamalara yer verilmektedir. Geniş öğrenme olanakları sunan bu “aile dostu” kurumların sayısı ve türleri yıllara dayanan bir müze geleneği olmayan ülkelerde de artış göstermektedir. Etkileşim özellikleriyle öne çıkan çocuk müzelerinin COVID 19 pandemisi karşısında aldıkları aksiyon yeni normal olarak tanımlanan post pandemi sürecinde müzeler açısından önemli bir gösterge olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bu çalışma çocuk müzelerinin kapsamını, çeşitlenen hedef ve amaçlarını ve güncel konulara vurgu yapan sergi örneklerini betimleyerek, çağdaş müzecilik yaklaşımları doğrultusunda çocuk müzelerine yönelik tartışmaları değerlendirmeyi amaçlamış ve COVID 19 pandemisi sürecinde ve sonrasında gerçekleştirdikleri çalışmaları tanımlamıştır.
PRINSIP ALKITAB MENGENAI PERNIKAHAN, PERCERAIAN DAN PERNIKAHAN KEMBALI
Authors: Sugiarto Yanto
Published: June 2022

Pernikahan adalah penyatuan dua pribadi yang melibatkan bukan hanya dua pribadi yang berbeda tetapi juga keluarga masing-masing. Bukan pula hanya mendapatkan izin dari kedua orangtua, diberkati oleh pendeta, diakui oleh negara, tetapi juga direstui oleh Tuhan. Karena Tuhan sendiri yang mengijinkan dan memerintahkan: “sebab itu seorang laki-laki akan meninggalkan ayahnya dan ibunya dan bersatu dengan isterinya, sehingga keduanya menjadi satu daging.” Dalam perjalanan kehidupan pernikahan, seiring berjalannya waktu, akan muncul banyak masalah dan konflik diantara mereka. Pasangan yang dewasa, bijak, mau mengalah, dan bisa mencari solusi bersama akan cepat menyelesikan permasalahan mereka. Sebaliknya, bagi mereka yang egois, mau menang sendiri, tidak bisa menerima keadaan, sulit memaafkan kesalahan pasangannya, membiarkan masalah berlarut-larut sampai menjadi semakin memburuk, akhirnya banyak yang memilih untuk mengakhirinya dengan bercerai. Mereka yang bercerai, di kemudian hari berencana untuk menikah kembali dengan orang lain. Hal ini pasti menjadi pembicaraan dikalangan masyarakat luas, gereja, dan dalam komunitas orang percaya secara luas. Itu sebabnya, setiap orang percaya, terlebih para pemimpin gereja, harus bisa memberikan jawaban dan solusi yang baik dan tepat, bukan sekedar dari buku-buku yang mereka pelajari, pendapat para ahli, atau pengalaman dan pelayanan mereka yang panjang, tetapi bagaimana Alkitab memberikan jawaban atas hal itu semua.
Femicid i krivičnopravna reakcija: Osvrt na praksu Evropskog suda za ljudska prava
Authors: Kovačević Milica
Published: June 2022

Poslednjih decenija naučna i stručna javnost intenzivno se bavi fenomenom femicida koji predstavlja najteži vid rodno zasnovanog nasilja. U aktuelnom trenutku nesporno je da države imaju niz kompleksnih obaveza kojima moraju adekvatno odgovoriti kada je u pitanju zaštita života žena. Tako se prirodno postavlja pitanje koji i kakav oblik krivičnopravne reakcije iziskuje rodno motivisano ubistvo žene, te da li je potrebno uvođenje posebne inkriminacije koja bi se odnosila isključivo na femicid. Imajući u vidu navedeno, rad je koncipiran tako da nakon opštih razmatranja o pojmu i prirodi femicida se analizira pozitivnopravni okvir koji se odnosi na ubistvo žena u Srbiji. Osvrćući se na praksu Evropskog suda za ljudska prava u predmetima koji se odnose na propuste država u domenu garantovanja prava na život, autor zaključuje da se adekvatna zaštita u načelu može ostvariti i unutar pravnog poretka koji ne inkriminiše ubistvo žene kao posebno krivično delo, ali samo ukoliko u datom sistemu istovremeno postoji celovit i delotvoran mehanizam za preveniranje i sankcionisanje rodno zasnovanog nasilja i diskriminatornog tretiranja žena. Primenjen je normativno-dogmatski metod uz analitičko-sintetički pristup, dok je cilj rada da se formulišu preporuke za unapređenje legislativnog okvira i postupanja u praksi.

Nasilnički kriminalitet predstavlja jedan od najstarijih oblika kriminaliteta, te je praktično oduvek prisutan u društvu. Kada se sagledaju svi oblici ispoljavanja kriminaliteta, nasilnički kriminalitet izaziva najsnažniju reakciju i najoštriju osudu društva, jer se njime ugrožavaju, kako život čoveka kao najznačajnija ljudska i društvena vrednost, tako i imovina ili druge vrednosti i dobra žrtve ili društva. U savremenom društvu, on je prisutan svuda oko nas, u porodici, školi, na poslu, ulici, utakmicama i raznim drugim manifestacijama. Napretkom društva, on danas sve više postaje naša nezaobilazna društvena svakodnevnica. U odnosu na ostale oblike oblike kriminaliteta, ovde do izražaja dolazi značajnija sklonost nasilnika ka iživljavanju, kao i njegova drskost i bezobzirnost prilikom prinuđavanja drugog da trpi takvo ponašanje. Posledice nasilničkog kriminaliteta mogu biti izuzetno destruktivne i reflektuju se na pojedinca u vidu psihičkih, socijalnih i seksualnih problema, ali i na njegovo bliže okruženje i društvo u celini kroz narušavanje kvaliteta života. Upravo zbog toga suzbijanje nasilničkog kriminaliteta predstavlja jedan od primarnih zadataka svake države, a preduslov za realizovanje ovog zadatka jeste razumevanje njegovog etiološkog aspekta kako bi se kreirale efikasne mere prevencije. Cilj rada jeste da se kroz analizu i sistematizovanje saznanja u pogledu uzroka nasilničkog kriminaliteta ukaže i na destruktivnost posledica koje proističu iz ovog pojavnog oblika kriminaliteta, te na značaj kreiranja preventivnih mera koje polaze upravo od ovih faktora, ne gubeći iz vida ni posledice koje je takođe potrebno preduprediti.

Published: June 2022

Nasilјe i agresija su pojmovi koji se često koriste u literaturi za označavanje različitih oblika lјudskog ponašanja i predstavlјaju destruktivne obrasce ponašanja kojima se nanosi šteta pojedincu i društvu. Naučno razumevanje i objašnjenje nasilјa jedan je od osnovnih naučnih zadataka kojem se mora posvetiti posebna pažnja. Iako se može smatrati da je nasilјe precizan termin, u stvarnosti predstavlјa spektar heterogenih oblika ponašanja koji mogu biti fizički i emocionalni sa različitom refleksijom na odnos žrtve i počinioca u specifičnim životnim situacijama. Cilј ovog rada je da pregledom naučne literature i analizom sadržaja različitih definicija nasilјa i agresije, uz primenu komparativnog metoda, ukažemo na specifičnosti interpersonalnog nasilja i njegove različite manifestacije. Posebna pažnja je posvećena podeli i kategorizaciji nasilјa i posledicama koje ono ima na pojedinca i njegovu mikro i makro socijalnu sredinu. Jedan deo rada posvećen je nasilјu u porodici kao zasebnom sociološkom, zdravstvenom i kriminološkom problemu i njegovim negativnim implikacija koje ima na žene, decu i stare. Takođe je ukazano na problem nasilјa u LGBT partnerskim zajednicama o čemu kod nas gotovo da nema naučnih podataka i istraživanja.

Published: June 2022

This paper explores the potential of utilizing wind electricity ( wind energy) to power part of King Abdulla Medical City (KAMC) at Arabian Gulf University (AGU), Bahrain. Installing a 1 MW- wind turbine is found to produce, annually, 2,221 MWh - which is enough to power about 37 houses and save an annual emission of CO2 equivalent of 1,710 tons, i.e., saving 700 ton of oil. Two scenarios - Scenario A and B - (each consists of 3 sub - scenarios) are made for the assessment of installing a 1 MW - wind turbine. The net present value (NPV) is found positive in both scenarios, even if the coefficient of performance (CP) was assumed as 30% and the wind turbine production was assumed to degrade annually by 1% (30 % segregation degradation after 30 years). The NPV in the lowest optimistic scenario (Scenario: 2A) is found at US$ 4.0 million with US ¢7.4/kWh. In this scenario, if the production is calculated without consideration of the inflation rate, then the cost US¢ 1.5/kWh. For the most optimistic scenario (Scenario 1A), which assumes CP = 40%, the cost US¢0.95/ kWh, when considering the inflation and without it US¢1.1 / kWh. In Scenario1C, US¢ 0.95/kWh if reported.

Published: June 2022

Background: Amongst all other educational institutions, medical schools suffered the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. Medical education requires a great deal of interaction between instructors and students, and in the final years, patients as well. In response to the pandemic, the College of Medicine and Medical Sciences at the Arabian Gulf University has applied virtual teaching/ learning since March 2020 as an alternative to face-to-face teaching. The college used Moodle and Zoom as online methods for education. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of virtual medical education by comparing students’ performance in final exams in face-to-face and virtual settings.
Methods: Following the college’s ethical approval, this longitudinal study was performed on 183 medical students. Those students experienced 2 different successive methods of teaching/learning; Unit V as face-to-face followed by Unit VI as virtual settings. Students’ performance in theoretical component of the final exams for both units was analyzed and compared.
Results: There was no significant difference in student performance between Units V and VI. Students’ performance in the physiology part was equally effective in both units, while the difficulty index of both exams was insignificantly different.
Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that students’ performance in final exams could serve as an objective parameter when comparing different educational settings. Our results also support the idea that, in certain aspects, virtual is equal to face-to-face medical education strategies.

Published: June 2022

Protein Disulfide Isomerase (PDI) protein family is known for assisting newly synthesized proteins to fold in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of most cell types. Meanwhile, extracellular functions of PDIs have been reported and associated to several processes including cell adhesion, thrombosis, cancer, and pathogenesis. In addition to their biological significance, the expression profile, localization and suitability for high-throughput screening are in favor of PDIs being good targets in the development of drug against several diseases. Indeed, few PDI inhibitors are available and show decreased specificity, potency and drug ability. In an attempt to identify more potent and specific PDIA1 inhibitors, we have carried out virtual screening of a large chemical compound database (107 compounds). Following this screening, we used an experimental plate-based PDIA1 reductase activity inhibition assay screening to identify and validate a lead compound for further optimization using combinatorial synthesis and computational drug design. Indeed, we identified a molecule that could be used as a lead candidate for the development of anti-inflammatory drugs.

Purpose: Tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis is believed to have been acquired from animals especially cattle. Not one country across the globe is spared of the disease. The infection gets established through respiratory system where they are either latent or active. Depending upon the immune status or coexisting infection or other health disorders the infection may be either contained within the lungs or spread to other parts of the body. Hence rapid and accurate diagnosis is needed to initiate appropriate treatment. Sputum studies are being followed for diagnosis of tuberculosis but has few disadvantages. Xpert MTB/RIF, an automated, molecular test has been in vogue now. Biomarkers such as complete blood count, inflammatory and oxidative stress markers are being measured. Recently epigenetic markers like microRNA are being analyzed to differentiate the various presentations of tuberculosis. This review has been undertaken to understand the various diagnostic strategies being followed from the old times to the newer novel techniques. Methods: The narrative review was undertaken by searching the original and review articles in the past 20 years. The articles were obtained by searching through various search engines. Since this was a review article ethics committee approval was not required. Results: The traditional methods have inherent limitations of high expertise, prolonged procedure, not cost effective and require good infrastructure. Newer methods are found to be sensitive, specific, reproducible and cost effective. But require validation to be implemented into routine use. Conclusions: Validating the new markers such as epigenetic markers – microRNAs should pave way for diagnosis and management of pulmonary TB, extrapulmonary TB, TB in HIV infected individuals, pregnant women and children. This could serve as a finger-print sort of diagnosis once validated on large scale community-based studies.
The Level of Teachers’ Use of the Learned Helplessness Language with Students in the Light of Some Variables
Authors: Al-Jarrah Abdelnaser D.
Published: June 2022

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the level of teachers’ use of the learned helplessness language with their students, and whether this use varies according to gender, qualifications, and years of experience of the teacher’s.

Method: To achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher used descriptive method. The researcher has developed a tool to measure the language of learned helplessness that teachers use with their students, consisting of (20) items. The study sample consisted of (292) male and female teachers from the Directorates of Education in Irbid Governorate who were chosen randomly.

Results: The results of the study indicated that the level of teachers’ use of the language of learned helplessness was moderate, that teachers had higher than that of female teachers, and that teachers with bachelor’s qualifications used the language of learned helplessness more than postgraduate qualifications. It also found that teachers with less experience use this language more than other experiences.

Conclusion: Some students have many academic and cognitive abilities, and many skills; however, their classroom behaviors and practices may not reflect their abilities and skills, due to their low self-confidence, which sometimes affects their school achievement and their personal aspects. There are many factors responsible for the occurrence of this phenomenon, including the learner’s impotence, which caused by internal factors of the student, or external factors related to the family and teachers, and the negative statements and words uttered by students that reduce their abilities and potentials, and reduce their level of motivation. Students with these practices greatly affect them, and their relationships with their teachers, therefore; it is necessary to work to educate male and female teachers of the need to stay away from the use of such words, and to strengthen students, activate them, and increase their self-confidence, which will reflect positively on the educational process.

Published: June 2022

The purpose of this study is to examine the difficulties encountered by Bahraini entrepreneurs in converting innovative ideas in the biotechnology field to a profitable trade. Methodology - The study applies a qualitative approach. Semi-structured, one-to-one interviews with four managers have been done to identify the obstacles they faced. Findings - Initial results prove that some factors, including funding, workforce skills, government regulations, and the Bahraini market environment, significantly affect success in the biotechnology industry. Further analysis suggests that the Bahraini market environment is the more fundamental obstacle compared to the others. Two additional factors, namely time management and infrastructure, have an insignificant effect on Bahrain’s progress in the biotech industry. Practical implications - This study is targeted at regulatory bodies in Bahrain and entrepreneurs to assist them in pinpointing the obstacles faced in the biotech industry and address them subsequently. Originality– This research contributes to innovative entrepreneurship literature relating to the biotech industry in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, primarily in Bahrain. As the 2030 vision for Bahrain depends on diversification of income sources, it is interesting to examine the difficulties that challenge entrepreneurs once they try to convert innovative ideas in the field of biotechnology into a successful trade story. Recommendation - improving the workforce skills to be competitive in the market with current impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and validating these results quantitively are recommended.

Published: June 2022

The Kingdom of Bahrain is facing escalating concerns about the current municipal solid waste (MSW) management. These concerns are aggravated by the increased MSW generated per capita as well as the current recycling rate in Bahrain which does not exceed 1%. The residential areas produce substantial amount of MSW and therefore can be considered as good places to start any recycling program. A total of 300 randomly selected household representatives were selected to answer a questionnaire that was designed to identify their socio-economic status, measure their awareness, their recycling practice, to determine their willingness, and recognize any challenges and obstacles that hinder the recycling practice. The results have revealed that the correspondents have shown high awareness (75%) concerning recycling, however their willingness to participate in recycling was limited to 54.3%. In addition 46.3% of the respondents have never recycled any of the most recyclable materials such as paper, glass, plastic, aluminum and tin cans, food waste, garden waste, batteries, and medicine. Nevertheless, the majority of the respondents (87.3%) were willing to engage in recycling or composting scheme mainly if obstacles such as lack of proper recycling infrastructure and spaces to store different bins in their living spaces were resolved. In view of the results obtained from the current study, several recommendations were suggested including the implementation of effective legislations regarding waste recycling as well as public engagement through awareness campaigns.

Published: June 2022

The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) controls the wildlife trade. All the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries are parties to CITES. GCC countries are the prime destination of exported falcons and Oud. In 2016, Saudi Arabia and the UAE were the destinations of approximately 26.8% of the world’s seized specimens of agarwood. These facts justify examining countries’ arrangements for implementing and enforcing the convention. Researchers used the Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) framework for inquiry. Sources of information included site visits, surveys, interviews, and documents. The researchers interviewed 742 interviewees representing different stakeholder groups. Results show that the present legal framework is not wholly conducive to an integrated and holistic measure for complying with the convention. Traditions and culture, lack of trained cadres, complicated procedures, inadequate coordination, lack of economic incentives, and imperfect information are challenges for effective implementations of the convention. The research confirms the importance of institutional setup, legal systems, and socioeconomic context in successfully complying with and enforcing CITES. Coordination between executing agencies, strict law enforcement, and capacity building contribute to the effective implementation of the convention.
