Multiple Histories: Cultural Memory and Anne Boleyn in Actes and Monuments and Henry VIII
Authors: Meyer Allison Machlis
Published: December 2024

This essay examines Shakespeare and Fletcher's appropriation of varied intertextual sources for their depiction of Anne Boleyn in Henry VIII. Through attention to the play's intertextual relationship with John Foxe's Actes and Monuments as well as early modern historiography, poetry, and popular literature about Anne, I show that some of Henry VIII's distinguishing characteristics — including its consideration of audiences and privileging of multiple perspectives — cue early modern readers and audiences to remember contrasting histories gleaned from diverse cultural memories. In spite of their divergent representations of events from Henry VIII's reign — Henry VIII avoids depicting Anne's death in favor of the spectacle of her coronation, while Actes and Monuments emphasizes eyewitness accounts of Anne's trial and execution and represents her death as Protestant martyrdom — the play conjures Anne's Foxean ghost through audience awareness of alternative intertexts, and intertwines Anne with her rival, Katherine, and the Duke of Buckingham, so that Anne's off-stage history permeates the play's account of the falls of Katherine and Buckingham as well as the births of the English Reformation and the monarch Elizabeth I.

Translating Autobiography into Fiction: Chiasmus and the Play of the Authorial Mind in Hamlet and Pale Fire
Authors: Ungureanu Delia
Published: December 2024

The traditional view of Nabokovian criticism holds that Shakespeare's Timon of Athens is the major intertextual source for Vladimir Nabokov's novel Pale Fire. In this paper, I will argue that Hamlet, not Timon of Athens, is the major source for Nabokov's rewriting. To do so, I will use historical, biographical, linguistic, stylistic, and rhetorical arguments, and examine chiasmus as a structural device used both by Nabokov and Shakespeare.
Disability as a diversity and inclusion factor in recruiting
Authors: OLANIYAN Toyin Solomon , OLAWOYIN Kayode Wakili , OKUNADE Isaac Ojo
Published: December 2024

Above all, the population of individuals with impairments is constantly increasing, making them one of the largest groups in the diverse workforce. Jobs for people with impairments requires the implementation and development of special processes within enterprises. This is because the details of employment of persons with disabilities must be considered organizationally and legally. Examining current diversity and inclusion policies of companies and states concerning the hiring of people with disabilities is the aim of this research. According to the study's findings, there were no appreciable variations between employees with disabilities and those without them at various phases of the hiring process. Nonetheless, it should be noted that corporate behavior regarding the employment of persons with disabilities is largely influenced by the Nigerian legal system.

The Correlation between Self-Efficacy Levels and Pedagogical Content Knowledge among Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Teachers
Authors: Novikasari Ifada , Azis Donny Khoirul , Elebiary Noor
Published: December 2024

This study examines the relationship between self-efficacy in geometry and Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) among Madrasah Ibtidaiyah teachers in Banyumas Regency.  Self-efficacy was assessed in 79 sampled teachers using a multidimensional teaching self-efficacy scale focused on effectiveness and classroom management, while PCK was evaluated through tasks involving the perimeter and area of two-dimensional shapes.  The findings reveal a weak correlation between self-efficacy and PCK, indicating limited interdependence.  This highlights the need to address gaps in both areas. Within an Islamic context, the study emphasizes the relevance of tazkiyah (self-purification) and ilm (knowledge acquisition) as principles of teacher development.  It recommends targeted training aligned with Islamic values to simultaneously enhance self-efficacy and PCK. Such an integrated approach aims to improve teaching skills, foster holistic growth, and create a nurturing learning environment that benefits both teachers and students.

Fixed point theorems of asymptotically regular maps
Authors: Hoc Nguyen H. , Bisht Ravindra K.
Published: December 2024

We prove some fixed point theorems for asymptotically regular self-mappings, not necessarily orbitally continuous or k-continuous, satisfying weaker Proinov contraction. Our results extend several recent results in the literature and provide more answers to an open question raised by Rhoades. Some nontrivial examples are also given to illustrate our results.
Dynamic analysis and Chaos control in a discrete predator-prey model with Holling type IV and nonlinear harvesting
Authors: Mokni Karima , Ch-Chaoui Mohamed
Published: December 2024

In this paper, we investigate the dynamical behavior of a two dimensional discretized prey predator system. The model is formulated in terms of difference equations and derived by using the higher-order implicit Runge Kutta method with a very small step size to attain a discrete time version of its continuous counterpart. The existence of fixed points as well as their local asymptotic stability are proved. Further, it is shown that the model experiences Neimark-Sacker bifurcation (NSB for short) and the periodic doubling bifurcation (PDB) in a small neighborhood of the coexistence fixed point under certain parametric conditions. This analysis utilizes bifurcation theory and the center manifold theorem. The chaos influenced by NSB is stabilized. Finally, we use numerical simulations and computer analysis to check our theories and show more complex behaviors.
On discrete properties of continuous monotone functions
Authors: Halušková Emília
Published: December 2024

We deal with strictly monotone continuous functions h: I → I, where I is an interval of real numbers. The monounary algebra (I,h) contains at most 4 non-isomorphic components. We derive that there are 10 possibilities only how these components can be combined in (I,h). Two more options are cancelled in case that I = ⟨a,b⟩ for some real numbers a,b,a < b.

Authors: Ayadi Souad , Ege Ozgur
Published: December 2024

In this paper, we establish sufficient conditions to guarantee some existence results of nontrivial solutions for a class of nonlinear boundary value problem posed on an unbounded interval of ℝ. According to the behavior of the nonlinear term, an effective operator is considered. Our main tool is especially Schauder’s fixed point theorem and the compactness criterion of the Sobolev space H1(0,∞) into Cl,p ( [0,+∞)).

Authors: Benaissa Bouharket , Budak Huseyin
Published: December 2024

The main motivation of this study is to establish a general version of the Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals with two exponential parameters k and p called ((k,p),ψ)-Hilfer fractional integrals which is determined over the k-gamma function. We first prove that these operators are well-defined, continuous and have semi-group property. Then, particularly, we present the harmonic, geometric and arithmetic (k,p),ψ-Hilfer fractional integrals. Moreover, some special cases relating to general ((k,p),ψ)-Riemann-Liouville fraction integrals are given.

Authors: Samaniego Carvajal Shirley Tatiana , Jaramillo León Alexandra Anabel
Published: December 2024

El presente artículo tiene por objeto presentar una apreciación del origen, conceptualización, doctrina, normativa legal y jurisprudencia del cobro de los intereses legales aplicables a los títulos de crédito en cualquiera de sus formas, y el procedimiento que debe seguirse dentro de un proceso judicial, para en lo posterior continuar con la fase de ejecución correspondiente para la tramitación de dicho cobro. Es en este punto que la actividad procesal se vincula con la conceptualización de la autonomía de voluntad, pues en los mismos términos de estudio de doctrina, jurisprudencia y normativa legal vigentes se busca concluir si es o no aplicable, con fundamento en la autonomía de la voluntad, la renuncia a la liquidación de interés y obviar esta parte del procedimiento, para determinar que existe una anomia legal, pues no existe normativa que se pronuncie y, a la vez, que sirva a la interpretación con fundamento en otros cuerpos legales y, en lo principal, en la Constitución existe una antinomia legal. El presente trabajo se basa en un enfoque cualitativo, apoyado en métodos científicos de revisión bibliográfica documental, teniendo como resultado una investigación analítica e inductiva. También se empleó el método histórico-lógico para determinar la evolución en el tiempo de la institución de los intereses en el ámbito nacional.

The Longest Spring in History: On Interpreting the Transformations on the Polish-German Border on the Eve of Its Closure
Authors: Frąckowiak Maciej
Published: December 2024

The article deals with the processes of debordering and rebordering on the Polish-German border, focusing on how the so-called everyday experts from the region interpreted these changes in 2018. The research was conducted in the cities of Słubice and Gubin and the adjacent rural areas, using individual structured in-depth interviews. The data analysis was inspired by grounded theory. According to the interviewees, cultural, legal, and economic differences significantly influenced the experiences and interactions at the border despite the blurring of physical borders. The analysis of the way of interpreting the debordering and rebordering also allows us to understand the characteristics of the narratives shaping the thinking about the transformations of the region at that time and their significance for integration processes and the creation of interstices. In the discussion, I argue for reorienting contemporary studies on the Polish-German border toward rebordering as well as for a more careful analysis of the accompanying narratives, emphasizing how these interpretations can condition the course of future events, such as what happened with the closing of borders in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

A Rare Presentation of IgG4-Related Sinusitis With Chronic Nasal Obstruction and Headache: A Case Report and Literature Review
Authors: Jung Dong Won , Choi Ji Yun
Published: December 2024

IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a systemic inflammatory condition characterized by tissue infiltration with IgG4-positive plasma cells and a tendency to form mass-like lesions in various organs. IgG4-related sinusitis, although a relatively rare manifestation of IgG4-RD, significantly impacts the paranasal sinuses. A 52-year-old man presented with persistent rhinorrhea, nasal obstruction, and headaches. He was diagnosed with IgG4-RD involving the bilateral nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, submandibular glands, lacrimal glands, and parotid glands. We recently managed a case of IgG4-related sinusitis, which was successfully diagnosed and treated. This condition represents a distinct subset of chronic rhinosinusitis, with unique pathophysiological and clinical features. Accurate diagnosis and effective management of IgG4-related sinusitis require a high index of suspicion and a multidisciplinary approach.

Białka są związkami wielkocząsteczkowymi zbudowanymi z aminokwasów połączonych wiązaniami peptydowymi. Stanowią podstawowy składnik strukturalny wszystkich żywych organizmów. Ich różnorodność ma związek z budową, a co za tym idzie ze sposobem uszeregowania reszt aminokwasów w cząsteczce. Albumina stanowi około 60% białek osocza, jej kształt determinuje sekwencja tworzących ją aminokwasów. Podstawowym aminokwasem wchodzącym w skład albuminy jest cysteina oraz w mniejszych ilościach glicyna, metionina i jedna reszta tryptofanowa, dzięki której wykazuje właściwości fluorescencyjne.
Do badań strukturalnych białek stosowanych jest wiele metod fizycznych. Najczęściej wybierane są metody spektroskopowe, opierające się na generacji widm powstałych wskutek oddziaływania promieniowania elektromagnetycznego z materią. Najpowszechniej stosowaną metodą spektroskopii jest spektroskopia optyczna, wykorzystująca promieniowanie elektromagnetyczne od podczerwieni po ultrafiolet.
Praca stanowi przegląd metod spektroskopowych wykorzystywanych w badaniach strukturalnych białek. Stanowi także wstęp do dalszych badań, które mają na celu wykorzystanie jednej z metod spektroskopowych do badań nad zmianami strukturalnymi albuminy po ekspozycji na czynniki fizykochemiczne. Opisane metody spektroskopowe cechują się różną czułością, specyficznością oraz procedurami, jakie należy wykonać podczas przygotowania próbki do badania. W spektroskopowym badaniu białek, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem zmian zachodzących w ich strukturze, na uwagę zasługuje metoda spektroskopii fluorescencyjnej. Metoda ta jest niezwykle czuła i precyzyjna. Jest najlepszym wyborem do badania zmian strukturalnych białek, jakie zachodzą pod wpływem działania czynników fizykochemicznych. Nowoczesna aparatura pozwala na badanie zmian zachodzących w strukturze białek na poziomie molekularnym. Uchwycenie tych zmian i powiązanie ich z funkcjami białek wzbogaca wiedzę dotyczącą prawidłowości funkcjonowania organizmu, a także podłoża niektórych chorób.
Location of entrepreneurial zones in Latin America: a spatial analysis
Authors: Frende-Vega María de los Ángeles , Almeida Alejandro , Martín-Álvarez Juan Manuel , Golpe Antonio
Published: December 2024

This study analyzes spatial patterns in the entrepreneurial intention of university students in Latin America. Studies on the entrepreneurial phenomenon have paid little attention to possible spatial associations, which might explain the dissimilar resultsreported by prior work. The analysis uses a sample of 70,337 university students drawn from the GUESSS survey. The results of the exploratory spatial model reveal significant spatial patterns in Costa Rica and Panama with a high entrepreneurial intention (hot spots). This study can serve as a basis for developing public policies to promote entrepreneurship and, when appropriate, propose articulated and coordinated strategic initiatives between countries located in the identified clusters (hot/cold spots).

Authors: Mucharraz y Cano Yvette , Dávila-Ruiz Diana , Cuilty-Esquivel Karla
Published: December 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic had an unprecedented negative impact on women’s mental well-being, especially on mothers. This article proposes the concept of “burnout resilience” and introduces “structural support” as a variable that influences job burnout in women, mothers working in executive positions. Different support measures may promote resilience: in this case, the structural, organizational, and family-related. The study focuses on resilience enablers in a disaster scenario like the COVID-19 pandemic. The study highlights the relevance for public policy and organizations of ensuring organizational and structural support that contributes to develop resilience for mitigating burnout, especially during natural catastrophe periods and war environments, among other negative scenarios. The investigation aimed to quantify job burnout among 704 executive mothers during the COVID-19 pandemic, using the Maslach Burnout Inventory General survey. The data-collection method employed was a non-probabilistic snowball sampling technique, and the hypotheses were tested using a comparison of means t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results showed the relationship between job burnout and organizational, familial, and structural support. The findings also reveal that organizational and structural support attenuated burnout, while familial support is not correlated with burnout mitigation. Moreover, compared to the pre-pandemic period, executive mothers seemed to have experienced an increase in burnout during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Obtención De Furfural Por Pervaporación Usando Membranas Compuestas Por Silicalita-1 Y Pdms
Authors: Moreno-Cascante Jorge Arturo , Flechas Figueroa Johan Sebastián , Ridella Florencia , Rendueles de la Vega Manuel , Cubillos Lobo Jairo Antonio
Published: December 2024

El furfural es un compuesto orgánico utilizado ampliamente en la industria como materia prima para la síntesis de diversos productos químicos. Este compuesto se encuentra sustituido en posición C-2, ofreciendo ventajas en función del tipo de sustituyente y del proceso industrial en el que se aplique. Sin embargo, la obtención de furfural a partir de un medio acuoso hace difícil su separación, siendo este procedimiento muy costoso por técnicas convencionales como la destilación. Por ello, en este trabajo se sintetizaron membranas de polidimetilsiloxano (PDMS) puras y mezcladas con silicalita-1; con el fin de separar furfural desde un medio acuoso de reacción utilizando pervaporación a temperaturas de 40 y 80°C. La obtención de furfural, se llevó a cabo mediante la deshidratación de fructosa usando óxido de niobio (Nb2O5) como catalizador. Las pruebas de separación por pervaporación mostraron selectividad hacia furfural (118,86) a 40°C con membranas libres de silicalita-1 y flux (22,11 g/m²×h) a 80°C con membranas al 80% de silicalita-1. Estos resultados indican que entre el flux y la selectividad se establece una relación inversamente proporcional. Las membranas fueron caracterizadas por espectroscopía infrarroja con transformada de Fourier (FTIR), Difracción de Rayos X (DRX), fisisorción con N2 a 77 K, análisis termogravimétrico (TGA) y microscopía electrónica de barrido acoplada a espectroscopía por dispersión de energía (SEM-EDS) con el fin de establecer correlaciones entre la morfología, estructura y composición de las membranas y su capacidad para separar furfural desde una solución acuosa que contiene también HMF.

Your money or your life, or why Jean-Pierre Norblin de la Gourdaine left Paris
Authors: Niemira Konrad
Published: December 2024

The subject of the article is the youth of the painter and illustrator Jean-Pierre Norblin de la Gourdaine (1745–1830), and the circumstances that led him to enter the service of Princess Izabela Czartoryska and her husband Adam Czartoryski. Starting from a thorough examination of Norblin’s earnings in Poland, I analyze the non-economic factors that have caused his move there. The hypothesis presented in the text assumes that one of them was the artist’s difficult professional and social situation. In the first years of his stay in Paris, Norblin used to be associated with a circle of painters of low social renown. For almost a decade he was employed by Francesco Casanova, a painter who has been a controversial figure for both the Royal Academy and critics. He also failed to gain an influential patron or loyal clientele in the Academy circles. It seems that he had no prospects for not only making a career in Paris, but also for becoming independent of Casanova. Perhaps it was this social and professional stalemate that prompted him to undertake the “recruitment journey” via London and Spa, which eventually led him to Puławy and Warsaw.
Counterinterpretation in film criticism: The case of “Ida” by Paweł Pawlikowski
Authors: Osadnik Wacław
Published: December 2024

The objective of this text is to discuss a lack of interest in the religious context of the award-winning film Ida by Pawel Pawlikowski. Moral choices within the film prove to be of greater concern to the director than political questions. Nonetheless, the film continues to generate reactions in right wing nationalist circles – and not only in Poland. From the point of view of thematic story and plot, the film is a historical drama with the possibility of a wide spectrum of interpretation. From the point of view of a conflict between Anna’s Christian believes (as a novice in a convent who is in the process of preparing to take her final religious vows) and her Jewish heritage she has to choose between The Old and The New Testament. Her family was killed by Poles and Ida/Anna has a dilemma: to follow the Old Testament law: “eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth”, or to obey The New Testament principle: “That ye resist not evil. But whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also”. Ida chooses to follow principles of the New Testament and returns to the convent?
Absenteeism Among National Health Service Workers During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Portugal
Authors: Alves Joana , Nunes Carolina , Peralta Santos André
Published: December 2024

By March 2020, the first COVID-19 cases were detected in Portugal. Anecdotal evidence showed that the National Health Service absenteeism rate rose. The present study aimed to quantify and characterize the absenteeism rate among these healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic in Portugal. This study used data from the Portuguese National Health Service Transparency Portal for the number of National Health Service workers and absence days (2015 - 2021). Absenteeism was compared, before and after the pandemic onset, in absolute terms, and as absenteeism rates. Additionally, we performed an interrupted time series analysis, by fitting a Poisson regression model with level change. We controlled for data seasonality using Fourier terms. The results showed that, between 2015 and March 2020, the average monthly absenteeism rate was of 12.2%, rising to 14.5% in the subsequent period. This represented an increase of 19% in the absenteeism rate. The interrupted time series analysis showed an increase of 10.8% in the National Health Service absenteeism rate after the pandemic onset [relative risk = 1.10; 95% CI 1.10 - 1.11; p < 0.01]. When accounting for seasonality in the data, the interrupted time series analysis showed an increase of 11.0% in the National Health Service absenteeism rate [relative risk = 1.11; 95% CI 1.00 - 1.23; p < 0.05]. These results suggest an increased number of days of absence rate among the National Health Service healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Published: December 2024

O presente protocolo clínico foi desenhado para servir como um guia hospitalar na abordagem diagnóstica, terapêutica e de monitorização da neurossífilis, tendo em conta a positividade ou não para o vírus de imunodeficiência humana. A sífilis é uma doença sexualmente transmissível, de notificação obrigatória, conhecida como a grande imitadora nosológica. Em cerca de 30% dos casos de doença não tratada ocorre infeção persistente do sistema nervoso central. A neurossífilis é uma forma grave e progressiva de sífilis, que pode ocorrer em qualquer estádio da doença, com frequente atraso no diagnóstico e tratamento. Classifica-se como neurossífilis precoce (meningite sifilítica, neurossífilis meningovascular ou gomas sifilíticas) e neurossífilis tardia (gomas sifilíticas, demência sifilítica ou tabes dorsalis). A importância da punção lombar prende-se não só com questões diagnósticas, mas também com a avaliação da eficácia do tratamento. O tratamento desta patologia em todos os estádios consiste em penicilina por via parentérica. Com este protocolo pretende-se facilitar a decisão clínica nos casos de suspeita de neurossífilis através de uma conduta sistematizada, individualizada e multidisciplinar.

LAW ENFORCEMENT BY THE POLICE AGAINST JUVENILE BRAWLERS RESULTING IN FATALITIES
Authors: Kusuma I Gede Gustiyana Wijaya
Published: December 2024

Currently, the situation of the young generation is quite worrying, namely that almost every time in the mass media and electronic media there are reports of juvenile delinquency in the form of brawls between students and even crimes committed in the form of criminal acts of abuse or fighting, they have begun to abandon traditional methods of using wood or using force. physical, but now they have the courage to use sharp weapons which can not only result in injuries, they can even result in fatalities, as in one of the cases in the Pademangan District, North Jakarta. Looking at the examples of these cases, it can be said that brawls between students cannot be taken lightly, because if they are not handled seriously by the relevant parties, they will have a negative impact on the condition of students, the school environment and the community because the impact can also kill the lives of students who are still teenagers and has a long future. Therefore, there needs to be certainty in law enforcement by law enforcement officials to follow up on what punishments are given to perpetrators of brawls between students so that there is a deterrent effect and in the future there will be no more brawls between students. The research method used in this research is a qualitative method. The results of this research are that criminal law enforcement carried out by the Kademangan Police against perpetrators of brawls between students that resulted in death has basically been implemented, but the process from the identification stage to criminal action and the imposition of punishments needs to be effective. If law enforcement against students who engage in brawls is ineffective, this will result in the lack of legal certainty, order and legal protection. The obstacle in law enforcement is because the students are still minors, so the regulations used are still within the juvenile justice system. The results of the research show what sanctions are imposed on children who commit criminal acts and what the criminal responsibility of minors who commit murder is. First, the sanctions that can be imposed on minors who commit criminal acts are in accordance with what is regulated in Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System, namely in the form of penalties and actions. Second, that the criminal responsibility of minors who commit murder is in accordance with the provisions regulated in the Criminal Code and Law no. 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System.
The Impact of Monetary Connectivity: From Single Currency to Economic Growth
Authors: Widjanarko Yeremia Nicolaus
Published: December 2024

This research investigated the impact of the adoption of the Euro as a single currency in the European region (Eurozone) on transaction costs, consumption, investment, and economic growth. By combining monetary transmission theory, empirical data analysis, and case studies, this research revealed mechanisms that linked the single currency to increased economic activity and growth in the Eurozone. The results showed that the elimination of currency conversion costs, exchange rate uncertainties, and foreign currency risks had reduced transaction costs, encouraged cross-border trade, investment, and economic integration. The increase in transaction volume and value reflected an increase in household consumption, which in turn drove production, innovation, and further investment. The stability and confidence created by the European Central Bank and positive market expectations had contributed to sustained economic growth, as reflected in trend of the Eurozone’s gross domestic product (GDP). This research highlighted the transformative role of single currency system in promoting prosperity and economic stability across all member states.

Between Sovereignty and Universal Norms: An English School Analysis of Global Responses to Russia’s Anti-LGBT Policies
Authors: - Cepi Novia Tristantri , Hafid Adim Pradana
Published: December 2024

Since President Vladimir Putin enacted anti-LGBT laws in July 2023, Russia has received a variety of responses, especially those focusing on human rights issues. However, there are quite a few parties who have criticized Russia’s policies. This study aims to understand the differences in global responses to Russia’s anti-LGBT policies, using the English School perspective. This article uses a qualitative descriptive method. Data collection was carried out through literature studies, which came from Scopus journal articles, official Russian government documents, and credible media reports. Using the pluralism and solidarity approaches contained in the English School, the findings in this article can be summarized in two main premises. First, if based on the pluralism approach, the decision of countries that choose not to condemn Russia’s anti LGBT policies can be understood as a form of respect for Russia’s sovereignty in an effort to maintain international order. Second, by using a solidarity approach, the opposition of some pro-LGBT countries and international organizations to Russia’s anti-LGBT policies can be understood as an effort to uphold universal values in order to create international order.

maju dalam mempromosikan dan menyebarkan agenda-agenda kesetaraan dan keadilan gender. Di beberapa kasus, perjuangan hak-hak perempuan dapat digunakan sebagai pembenaran atas perang dan perubahan rezim. Fenomena ini mendapat dukungan dari feminis liberal barat, yang mendominasi dukungan terhadap pemberdayaan perempuan di seluruh dunia. Berbeda dengan feminis liberal, feminis poskolonial memandang dukungan negara-negara utara terhadap perempuan di negara-negara selatan dengan penuh kecurigaan. Mereka berargumentasi bahwa isu-isu feminis dikooptasi oleh negara-negara utara untuk memajukan kepentingan geopolitik dibandingkan dukungan tulus terhadap hak-hak perempuan. Artikel ini bertujuan meninjau kembali secara kritis dukungan negara-negara utara terhadap perempuan negara-negara selatan dengan melakukan studi kasus mengenai perjuangan feminis Amerika mempromosikan hak-hak perempuan di Afghanistan. Upaya internasional yang dipimpin Amerika dalam mendukung perempuan Afghanistan mencapai kesetaraan politik dan sosial dijelaskan dan dianalisis dengan kacamata feminis poskolonial. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan perspektif yang lebih luas dalam membahas hak-hak perempuan di Afghanistan.

Introduction: Chronic energy deficiency (CED) significantly impacts maternal health and child development. Socioeconomic conditions and access to health services cause young mothers in rural areas to have different health problems from those in urban areas. The study aimed to analyze the factors associated with CED among young pregnant women in rural areas in Indonesia.
Methods: Secondary data for this cross-sectional study were obtained from the 2018 Basic Health Research Survey. One thousand one hundred and thirty-nine pregnant women aged <25 years were involved as subjects. Age, number of family members, education, occupation, gravida, abortion, supplementary feeding, and iron tablets during pregnancy were included as independent variables. Binomial logistic regression analysis was performed to measure the association between the independent and dependent variables. The strength of the association was expressed by p-value <0.05.
Results: The three factors associated with CED were age (p=0.001), education (p=0.013), and supplementary feeding (p<0.001).
Conclusions: Equitable education, increasing the age at which moms can become pregnant, and efforts to fulfill the nutrition needs of pregnant women by providing supplemental food based on community empowerment are significant. Family and community involvement will ensure the sustainability of this CED prevention program.

Authors: Ruku Denny Maurits , Chen Hsing Mei
Published: December 2024

Introduction: This study aimed to describe self-reported PA performance and determine predictors regarding health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among heart failure (HF) patients.
Methods: A cross-sectional design was adopted, and data were collected using a questionnaire comprising demographic characteristics, illness-related factors, self-report health status (SRHS) questionnaire, international PA questionnaire, and Minnesota Living with Heart Failure questionnaire. Subsequently, data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and hierarchical multiple regression.
Results: The mean age for the total participants of 180 HF patients was 59.92 ± 11.90 years, with 60% being male, and the mean HRQOL score was 42.96 ± 20.47. HRQOL had significant correlations with HF medication (r= 0.20, p< 0.01), health status (HS) (r= 0.35, p< 0.01), PA (r= -0.52, p< 0.01), and HRQOL was associated with the New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification (F= 94.57, p< 0.001). Meanwhile, age, gender, job, marital status, religion, level of education, hemoglobin, body mass index, length of diagnostic HF, and comorbidities did not have a significant relationship with HRQOL. Three variables were significant predictors of HRQOL, namely HS (β= 0.21, p< 0.01), NYHA Class III (β= 0.15, p< 0.05), and PA (β= -0.31, p< 0.001).
Conclusions: Regular PA is crucial in improving HRQOL of HF patients. In addition, HS, HF medication, and NYHA Class should be considered in providing care for HF patients aimed at improving HRQOL.

Published: December 2024

Introduction: Although good quality social relationships are essential for every individual’s mental and physical health and well-being, loneliness is an important yet often overlooked social determinant of child and adolescent health. Loneliness felt by a person can put them at risk of anxiety. Anxiety sensitivity is a sensation of fear that will result in physical, social, or psychological problems that later risk clinical anxiety problems. This study aims to determine the effect of anxiety sensitivity on loneliness in children and adolescents who are hospitalized in the hospital. Method: The type of research is quantitative research with an exploratory approach and a self-rating questionnaire. The research subjects were 20 respondents, who were inpatients at the West Java Provincial Mental Hospital. Anxiety was measured using the ASI - 3 (Anxiety Sensitivity Indexes - 3) questionnaire, and the UCLA Loneliness Scale 3 to assess the degree of loneliness. Data were analyzed using simple linear regression with the help of the EPI INFO 7 program. Results: The linear regression test obtained a regression coefficient of 0.786 which states the direction of the influence of variables X and Y is positive with a p-value of 0.000155 <0.05. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between high anxiety sensitivity and feelings of loneliness in children and adolescents in inpatients. The most experienced dimension of anxiety sensitivity is about social problems while the dominant dimension of loneliness with the choice is always on the dimension of collective connectedness.

Published: December 2024

Introduction: COVID-19 high death tolls have brought about many bereavements all over the world. In this brief report, we aim to describe the effects of traumatic end-of-life experiences causing prolonged grief and loneliness as mediators for psychiatric disorders in the elderly. Case: The patient was a 60-year-old woman with chronic sleep disturbance since her only daughter suddenly passed away after several days of being isolated in the hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic and being hastily buried with the COVID-19 protocols. The patient yearned for her daughter but at the same time also avoided all memories of her daughter. She felt anxious most of the day which escalated to panic attacks requiring visits to the emergency room. Various examinations were carried out with normal results, except for blood pressure. She was diagnosed with prolonged grief, generalized anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and hypertension. Treatments included SSRI, benzodiazepine, antihypertensive medicine, and psychotherapy. Improvements were significant within 9 months of therapy. Discussion: Traumatic end-of-life events may precipitate prolonged grief and loneliness. Bereavement is the most common cause of loneliness in the elderly. Untreated prolonged grief and loneliness generate a loss of sense of self and purpose and are associated with low-grade peripheral inflammation and poor health. The combination of pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy is the most effective treatment which improves the patient’s outcome significantly. Conclusion: Traumatic end-of-life experiences are associated with prolonged grief disorder, poor physical and mental health outcomes, hence the right holistic approach is necessary to improve patient outcomes.

Besides personal intervention, the need for integrated care for children with special needs such as pharmacological therapy, speech and behavioral therapy, occupational therapy, and special education, is needed to support them in helping them make friends. Conclusion: To help children with special needs make friends, we can give support, appreciation, and motivation.
