Published: July 2022

This paper investigates the adolescents’ importance of parental relationships in preventing them from cybercrime victimization. In addition, the role of locality in the level of internet addiction is studied.  A sample comprised of 360 students of age group 15-17 years, pursuing their studies in 13 CBSE schools of New Delhi was selected randomly. These selected students were in classes XI and XII. The internet addiction and the satisfaction level of parental relationships were analyzed to understand the adolescents’ online behaviors. The mean, SD, and standard error measures of several factors were analyzed. Findings reveal that there exists a significant difference in internet addiction between urban and rural adolescents. The findings also confirmed that 84.75 % of cyber-victimized adolescents have a dissatisfied parental relationship.
Adoption of value-based pricing for prescription drugs
Authors: Bhattacharjee Arjun , Chaudhary Monica , Ranganathan Smitha
Published: July 2022

Value‐based pricing (VBP) is increasingly recognized by academics and practitioners as the most effective approach to price prescription drugs and improve patient access to medicines. However, despite the apparent support, there has been high rate of failure and continued low adoption of value-based agreements between payers and drug manufacturers. This paper aims to explore the potential factors influencing various stakeholders’ intentions to use VBP. For this purpose, the original version of the Roger's Innovation Diffusion Theory, which included relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability and observability is studied and extended with Health Information Technology (HIT) and value measurement factors. The study presents a detailed review of existing literature in the area of healthcare pricing and introduces a conceptual framework that can be used for understanding organizational readiness for rapid adoption of VBP for prescription drugs. Finally, based on the constructs presented in the literature, we propose future research questions that need to be addressed to inform how the healthcare sector should approach the VBP adoption.

Meaning and concept of religion: An insight into the lives of Mahatma Gandhi and APJ Abdul Kalam
Authors: Kurup Taresh , Jagath S K , Krishnan Yedu , Indu B
Published: July 2022

The term ‘religion’ has transcended centuries in the Indian History, and has been used for attainment of rights, justice, peace and harmony among people of different cultures . This term has been used to cause unrest, separation of sects, bloodshed resulting in communal violence. Its definition in simple terms refers to a belief or faith in a supernatural creation which can be different for different people. But the extent of belief in each case remains ambiguous as its impact can be a gateway for diversity, or can be a cause of having a deleterious scar towards progress of a nation. Waltor Houston Clark stated that ‘‘religion more than any other human function satisfies the need for meaning’’ (419) .This paper tries to look into the lives of Mahatma Gandhi and APJ Abdul Kalam and will analyse their religious background, their outlooks and stand points on different religions, and the exact meaning they want to convey through the idea of religion from their autobiography.
New Indian Renaissance: An Exploration of Aravind Adiga’s The White Tiger
Authors: Abbas Ashna , Raj Binshi B , Prasad Malavika , Nair Shilpa
Published: July 2022

The image of contemporary India had become so popular in the media, and its achievements had become so widely publicized, that the plight of the great majority of the poor, both in rural and urban India, went unnoticed. India’s economic, intellectual, and scientific development have earned it a new label in the country’s major narratives. This picture of a prosperous India distorts the plight of the poor and the socio-economic issues that impede the country’s advancement. The White Tiger, Aravind Adiga’s Booker Prize-winning book, is about the shifting status of the fiercely contested “proletarian self.” The proletarian self” is as much mandated as imprinted in and recorded by human and metropolitan geographies, which have been termed the “New India” as a socio-historically established idea, one would argue. This article explains how land ownership, poverty, a poorly equipped school system, inadequate health facilities, government corruption, issues of contemporary society and moral degradation have exacerbated the poor’s miseries and slowed the nation’s progress.

Bu doğrultuda Osmanlı yönetimi 1626 yılında Kazaklara karşı Dinyeper Nehri üzerinde, Togan Geçidi’nde kale inşa ettirmek istemiştir. Bu amaçla Sultan IV. Murad saltanatının ilk yıllarında yükselen bir siyasi figür olan Kaptan-ı Derya Çatalcalı Hasan Paşa, Özi Eyaleti’ne karadan ve denizden gidecek Osmanlı kuvvetlerinin serdarı olarak tayin edilmiştir. Hasan Paşa 1627 yazında Özi serhaddine vardığında elindeki imkânların Togan Geçidi’nde kale yapımına imkân vermediğini fark etmiştir. Yine de seferber ettiği kaynaklardan istifade etmek isteyen paşa, Özi yerleşiminde mevcut bulunan istihkâmı kuvvetlendirme yoluna gitmiştir. Özi’de mevcut iki kaleyi tamir ettirmiş, kendi adını taşıyan bir kale ve palanka inşa ettirmiştir, ayrıca istihkâmlar arasına bir tersane ve kale duvarı da eklemiştir. Yapılan eklemeler sonucu Özi’de garnizon kuvvetleri ikiye katlanmıştır.

One Size Doesn’t Fit All: Applying Flexibility to the Primary Care Behavioral Health Model with Transient Populations – A Brief Report
Authors: A. Ogbeide Stacy
Published: July 2022

Each year, approximately 3.5 million individuals in the United States experience homelessness (“Hunger and Homelessness,” n.d.). Patients experiencing homelessness have negative health outcomes in part due to decreased access to health care (Fitzpatrick et al., 2011). Additionally, the rate of behavioral health disorders (i.e., mental health and substance use disorders) in patients experiencing homelessness is about 66% (“HCH,” 2006; “National Coalition,” 2014). Follow-up rates for behavioral health services embedded within primary care are higher for transient patient populations when compared to specialty mental health services offered off-site: 16% no-show rate in primary care compared to a 35% no-show rate in specialty mental health settings (Reynolds, Chesney, & Capobianco, 2006). This suggests the need for improved primary care behavioral health integration efforts with this population (Miller et al., 2014; Reynolds et al., 2006). Behavioral health providers have varying roles on the primary care team (Collins et al., 2010; “HCH,” 2006; Heath et al., 2013; Miller-Matero et al., 2014; Robinson & Strosahl, 2009) but the Primary Care Behavioral Health (PCBH) consultation role has not been described with this special population as well as quality improvement efforts with practice change.

This study focused on determining the job satisfaction and work values of government employees in selected municipalities in the province of Cavite, Philippines. A total of 322 participants were obtained using Slovin’s formula and a simple random sampling technique was used. Descriptive and inferential research designs were utilized for data analysis. Findings revealed that the majority of the participants were in the middle-aged bracket; there were more female employees than male ones. Majority of the participants were married, college graduates, permanent ones were dominant, and most of them had been in public service for almost a decade. In terms of the level of job satisfaction, employees were highly satisfied, however, the work activity of employees was only rated as somewhat high. On the other hand, the work values of the employees were rated as highly valued and important. A significant relationship was found between job satisfaction and work values, which indicates that if their satisfaction increases, their work values increase or vice versa. Hence, job satisfaction and good work values are important indicators of attaining the vision and mission of an organization, especially local government units. Municipal heads and human resource managers should continue to cultivate satisfied and good workforce values among municipal employees. Thus, government policies and programs should continue to motivate and encourage more employees to be committed to their profession.

По аналогии соответствующих структур армянского языка V века для обозначения понятия «английский язык» сначала были использованы словосочетания: անգղիացւոց բարբառ «речь англичан», անգղիացւոց լեզու «язык англичан», անգղիական / անգլիական բարբառ «английская речь» и անգղիական լեզու «английский язык». С конца XVIII века в армянском языке употребляются пять вариантов названия языка: անգղիարէն, անգղիերէն, անգլիարէն, անգլիերէն և անգլերեն / անգլերէն, которые отличаются звуками լ /ղ, вариативными суффиксами -արէն / -երէն, наличием или отсутствием компонента ի.
By analogy of the relevant structures of the Armenian language of the 5th century AD to designate the concept of “English language” were first used by the phrase: անգղիացւոց բարբառ “speech of the Englishmen”, անգղիացւոց լեզու “language of the Englishmen”, անգղիական / անգլիական բարբառ “English speech” and անգղիական լեզու “English language”. From the end of the 18th century in Armenian language, five versions of language names are used: անգղիարէն, անգղիերէն, անգլիարէն, անգլիերէն եւ անգլերեն / անգլերէն, which are characterized by sounds լ/ղ, by variative suffixes -արէն / -երէն, the presence or the absence of a component ի.

Из древнеармянского до нас дошло небольшое количество коренных индоевропейских названий, обозначающих одежду или часть одежды (по собранным нами образцам, около 3 десятков). Некоторые из них перешли из древнеармянского, среднеармянского и из диалектов в современный литературный армянский язык, хотя следует отметить, что некоторые из этих слов, предположительно, исконно индоевропейские. Многие из корней со временем подверглись значительным семантическим изменениям: а) изменили свои первичные значения, как huren, volog; б) основной, первичный смысл слова стал неосновным, как otots; в) некоторые ключевые слова имели большую частоту использования, сохранили свои первичные значения, иногда приобрели новые (часто переносные) значения, как zgest, khav, goti, ktav, shor, odziq, eriz, tel, kar, kojak; г) некоторые ключевые слова имеют небольшую частоту использования, например, gisht, grgli//grglyak, khrac (используются в основном в художественной литературе). В литературный заподноармянский язык перешли корни od, asr, goti, grgli, ersank, karzh, khrats, ktav, hesk, volog, eriz, tel, kar, kojak, shor, ter, odziq (корни ag, gads используются в словообразовании). Корни karzh, heski, grgli, ersank, khav, kar, ktav, hur, tel, kar, kojak, shor, odziq употребляются также в диалектах. Со временем от исконно армянских названий одежды образовалось множество производных и сложных слов.
From Old Armenian a small number of indigenous Indo-European names denoting clothing or apparel have come down to us (according to the samples we have collected, about 3 dozens). Some of them have passed from Old Armenian, Middle Armenian and from dialects to modern literary Armenian: although it should be noted that some of these words are presumably native Indo-European. Many of the roots have undergone significant semantic changes over time: a) changed their primary meanings; as [huren, volog], b) the basic, primary meaning of the word became non-mainstream; as [otots], c) some keywords had a high frequency of use, retained their primary meanings, sometimes acquired new (often figurative) meanings, as [zgest, khav, goti, ktav, shor, odziq, eriz, tel, kar, kojak], d) some keywords have a small frequency of use; for example [gisht, grgli//grglyak, khrac] (used mainly in fiction). The roots [od, asr, goti, grgli, ersank, karzh, khrats, ktav, hesk, volog, eriz, tel, kar, kojak, shor, ter, odziq] (roots [ag, gads] are used in word formation) have passed into literary Western Armenian. The roots [karzh, heski, grgli, ersank, khav, kar, ktav, hur, tel, kar, kojak, shor, odziq] are also used in dialects. Over time, many derivatives and compound words were formed from the names of native Armenian clothes.

Система питания – один из аспектов жизнедеятельности, в котором относительно очевидны ключевые особенности мировоззрения и образа жизни людей. Традиционные культурные проявления приема пищи или отказа от нее взаимосвязаны с образом жизни человека, с ритуалом приема, составом, типом еды, правилами поведения, характерными для праздничной трапезы. Эти правила носят универсальный характер, представлены в фольклоре (иногда имплицитно) и часто встречаются в мифических сюжетах. Идея совместных ритуальных трапез была главной чертой, символизирующей принадлежность к определенному племени, которая рассматривалась как возможность получить часть божественной пищи и как символический цикл жизни, возможность общаться между этим и другими мирами. Принятие пищи – мультикультурный феномен, где совместная трапеза – это не утоление коллективного голода, а акт, полный множества интерпретаций и содержания, в котором рассматриваются верования и традиции нашего народа, представления о пиршестве и мифологических идеях, а также отключение от житейских проблем.
The food system is one of life essentials, where the key features of popular worldview and lifestyle of people are relatively evident. Traditional cultural manifestations of having or refusing meals are interrelated with life style of an individual, with a subsequent procedure, type of food, rules of conduct typical of festive meal. These rules are of universal nature and are represented in folklore (sometimes implicitely hidden), and often appear in mythological plots. The idea of having joint ritual meals together was the main feature symbolizing the affiliation to the tribe, which was seen as an opportunity to receive some of the divine food, the symbolic cycle of life, a chance to communicate between this and other worlds. Having food is a multicultural phenomenon, where a joint meal is not about satisfying collective hunger, but an act full of multiple interpretations and content, in which beliefs and traditions of our people, perceptions about feast and mythological ideas, as well as cutting off from everyday problems can be observed.

Degenerative osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease. However, its etiology has not been clearly understood. We aimed to investigate the association between the IL-6-174G/C gene variant responsible for regulating IL-6 functions and primary knee osteoarthritis (PKOA). Patients older than 40 years who presented between February 2012 and April 2013 and were diagnosed with PKOA and had grade 3 (i.e., moderate) or 4 (i.e., severe) disease constituted the case group. Healthy volunteers formed the control group. Genomic DNA was extracted from blood leukocytes in both case and control groups, and the IL6-174 G/C genotypes were determined. Two groups were compared regarding demographic, clinical, radiological findings, and IL-6-174 genotyping results. Both case and control groups included 90 patients each. No statistically significant difference was found between the two groups regarding gender distribution, patient age, and body weight. The frequency of the mutant base pairs GC and CC in the IL-6-174 promoter region were significantly higher in controls than in cases. Women with genotypes including C alleles were genetically protected against the clinical disease. Similar findings were not detected in the male patient group. The IL6-174 G/C gene polymorphism does not increase the risk of PKOA. However, the mutant C allele can be protective against PKOA in female patients. Studies conducted on larger patient populations from different ethnic backgrounds are needed to confirm our findings since our sample size is relatively small.

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the necrosis in the heart tissue resulting from obstruction of the coronary arteries. The main phenomenon in coronary artery disease and the formation of acute coronary syndromes is atherosclerosis which develops following the formation of coronary plaque. Platelet-derived growth factors (PDGF) that are produced by platelets, macrophages and endothelial cells are actively involved in atherosclerosis. The present study is, therefore, intended to investigate the diagnostic value of PDGF-β, as well as the factors affecting mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction. According to the comparison of the study groups in terms of their PDGF-β levels, the NSTEMI group was found to have the highest level of PDGF-β. In the intergroup comparison of the subgroups of the patient group, the NSTEMI group was found to have significantly higher levels of PDGF-β than the STEMI group had (Post-Hoc test p=0.001). In the analyses of the values measured in the blood samples collected at the time of admission to the ED, PDGF-β was found to have a moderate positive linear relationship with WBC, troponin and lactate values. According to the analyses of the subgroups of the patient group, only in the NSTEMI group was there a moderate positive linear relationship between troponin and PDGF-β. We investigated whether serum PDGF-β is the new prognostic biomarker for AMI, serum PDGF-β levels were significantly higher, especially in patients with NSTEMI. However, in order for serum PDGF-β levels to be used as a marker for predicting prognosis, further comprehensive studies that focus on this subject are needed.
