ANTI-SEMITISM, DISCRIMINATION OR HUMANISM? POSITION OF THE HIERARCH OF THE RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH TOWARDS JEWS
Authors: Telukha Svitlana
Published: June 2020

The article highlights the views of prominent Russian Orthodox Church hierarchy for the Jewish people. Specified on the causes and characteristics charges Jews in changing attitudes towards Jesus Christ from the standpoint of Scripture and explaining Metropolitan Anthony. The article followed Bishop belonging to the Black Hundreds organizations, foundations, principles of their activities and views on the Jewish question. These basic ideas concerning the causes of restricting the rights of the Jewish people, and are examples of metropolitan public appeals to the public to prevent the spread of anti-Semitism and pogroms. The author reflects the Metropolitan's thoughts on the place that Jews can occupy in society. The analysis of the Metropolitan's activities, his statements and attitudes toward the Jewish population has led to the publication's findings, which highlight Metropolitan Anthony's figure as rather contradictory and his views on Jewry polar. He is a follower of imperial politics in the vision of the limited place and role of Jews in society, and considers it a natural and just phenomenon, while in line with the general policy of the state and the indulgence of existing stereotypes. As a clergyman who, imbued with Christian values, served his congregation, he guarded his wards, condemning the violence in their direction. At the same time, the Metropolitan did not manifest itself as an outspoken anti-Semite and did not proclaim on behalf of the church calls for such action.
Review of the monograph Consolidation of Ukraine in the postcolonial era: a monograph / by general. ed. prof. MI Obushny. - K .: Pedagogical thought, 2019. 392 p.
Authors: Talko Tetiana
Published: June 2020

The monograph "Consolidation of Ukrainian community in the postcolonial era", created by a team of authors under the direction of Professor M.I. Obushny, is devoted to topics whose relevance is beyond doubt. Theoretically, the need for this monographic study is due to insufficient coverage in the Ukrainian humanitarian thought of the specifics of the postcolonial (transitional) period of development of Ukrainian society. The authors of the monograph actualize the issue of postcolonial research in the context of solving the most important task facing Ukrainian community, namely its consolidation. The author's team convincingly proved that the practical importance of the consolidation of Ukrainians has significantly increased in the conditions of Russia's hybrid war against Ukraine.
CONFLICT OF INTERPRETATIONS OF THE LETTER FROM SKIFFS TO DARIUS THE FIRST
Authors: Haidamachuk Olha
Published: June 2020

Sum of the things as a short letter of the Scythians to Persian King Darius the First, which were collection of a bird, a frog, a mouse and arrows, contains no intonations, because the Scythians themselves refrained to explain its contents. Pure articulation is silent. That’s why the addressee has to become co-author the Scythian message to intonate it in his way. Actually Darius was forced to intone, on the one hand, his imperious desires, and, on the other hand, the plausible Scythians intentions. Such self-split causes internal conflict and pushes Darius to an impasse. His desire to read the Scythian message as their own recognition of their surrender contradicts with their obviously disobedient behavior. It works as a trap. Darius himself inclines to surrender, because his intonations work as detonations - the secret psychological weapon of the Scythians in the field of symbols. That’s the case when the interpretation demoralizes its own interpreter. The composition of the letter reflects the Scythians cosmological representations and reveals their outlook. When Herodotus, Clement d'Alexandrie, J.-J.Rousseau and others retell and interpret the letter, both their retelling and interpretation reflect their cultural differences and their different worldviews. Only Darius dealt with pure things, while the rest of interpreters dealt with different languages words denoting those things. But in any case this message requires live intonations. The Scythian letter allows you to subtract from it some jokes or mock the same as a demand of surrender or as an open threat etc. Conflict of interpretations can be caused by both linguistic untranslatability either worldview untranslatability of different cultures and political involvement of interpreters. Therefore, the interpretation of the message through things, the same as through words, also depends on its intonation content.

Published: June 2020

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of chronic ethosuximide (ETX) treatment on absence seizures and cardiovascular parameters in WAG/Rij rats with genetic absence epilepsy.Materials and Methods: Eight-weeks old, male Wistar and WAG/Rij rats were divided into four groups (n=20): Wistar control, Wistar ETX, WAG/Rij control and WAG/Rij ETX. ETX groups received chronic ETX treatment (oral, 300 mg/kg/day) for 3 months. At the end of the 3-month-treatment period; the total and mean duration, also number of spike wave discharges (SWDs) were evaluated using EEG recordings. Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) measurements were performed. Results: ETX treatment significantly decreased the duration and frequency of SWDs in WAG/Rij rats. MAP in WAG/Rij control group was markedly higher than Wistar control group. In Wistar ETX group, HR was significantly slower than Wistar control group. KCl-induced contraction response enhanced in Wistar ETX group and diminished in WAG/Rij control group compared to Wistar control group. Conclusion: Increased MAP and vascular reactivity in WAG/Rij rats. ETX treatment did not alter cardiovascular parameters in WAG/Rij rats whereas the treatment decreased the HR and vascular reactivity without affecting MAP in Wistar rats. T-type Ca++ channels may play a role in these changes.
Increasing Postearthquake Field Mapping Efficiency with Optical Image Correlation
Authors: Morelan Alexander E. , Hernandez Janis L.
Published: June 2020

Mapping fault surface rupture in the aftermath of earthquakes quickly and efficiently is critical to both emergency responders and scientific investigations. We applied an optical imagery correlation technique to map, in detail, the location (not magnitude of displacement) of the surface-rupture trace of the 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake sequence to help provide field responders with information to guide response. Emergency managers need to know the location and amount of deformation that has occurred to effectively allocate resources for critical infrastructure repair as soon as possible after earthquakes. Scientific responders need to know the spatial pattern of deformation to determine where to send field teams to conduct scientific reconnaissance and to found later in-depth scientific research. Rapid scientific response is important because earthquake surface ruptures are often fragile features that do not persist in the landscape for more than a few weeks or months at locations with high anthropogenic or climatic modification. Remote sensing techniques have proven effective at aiding event response efforts by guiding field teams to locations with deformation and damage. We focus here on the utility and advantages of detailed remote sensing interpretations of the surface-rupture trace made using an optical image correlation map of relative surface displacement in the weeks after the 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake sequence.
Slip Complementarity and Triggering between the Foreshock, Mainshock, and Afterslip of the 2019 Ridgecrest Rupture Sequence
Authors: Qiu Qiang , Barbot Sylvain , Wang Teng , Wei Shengji
Published: June 2020

We investigate the deformation processes during the 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake sequence by combining Global Navigation Satellite Systems, strong-motion, and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar datasets in a joint inversion. The spatial complementarity of slip between the Mw 6.4 foreshock, Mw 7.1 mainshock, and afterslip suggests the importance of static stress transfer as a triggering mechanism during the rupture sequence. The coseismic slip of the foreshock concentrates mainly on the east-northeast–west-southwest fault above the hypocenter at depths of 2–8 km. The slip distribution of the mainshock straddles the region above the hypocenter with two isolated patches located to the north-northwest and south-southeast, respectively. The geodetically determined moment magnitudes of the foreshock and mainshock are equivalent to moment magnitudes Mw 6.4 and 7.0, assuming a rigidity of 30 GPa. We find a significant shallow slip deficit (>60%) in the Ridgecrest ruptures, likely resulting from the immature fault system in which the sequence occurred. Rapid afterslip concentrates at depths of 2–6 km, surrounding the rupture areas of the foreshock and mainshock. The ruptures also accelerated viscoelastic flow at lower-crustal depths. The Garlock fault was loaded at several locations, begging the question of possible delayed triggering.

Authors: Ravidas Vishnu S. , P. Samadarsi , G. Ajayan
Published: June 2020

Background: The study was conducted to determine the diagnostic accuracy of ankle branchial pressure index (ABPI) in predicting major amputation and duration of wound healing in diabetic foot ulcers.Methods: 105 participants (30-85 years) admitted in general surgery inpatient with diabetic foot ulcers during 18 months were enrolled in the present prospective observational study. Institutional ethics committee approved the study and written informed consent was obtained from all study participants. Data was analyzed using R and the tests of significance were chi square test and ANOVA. Area under curve (AUC) of receiver operator characteristic (ROC) was used to describe the diagnostic accuracy of ABPI. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: The mean ABPI of study participants was 0.7 with 23.8% participants having normal ABPI. Lower ABPI was associated with longer duration of ulcer healing (p=0.003). All participants with ABPI <0.3 required more than 120 days for wound healing (p<0.001) and required above knee amputation (p<0.001). AUC ROC of ABPI and major amputation is 0.987 with 92.9% sensitivity and 98.9% specificity. Significantly higher proportion of participants with ABPI ≤0.48 underwent major amputation. The AUC of ROC of ABPI on duration of wound healing was 0.953 with 84.9% sensitivity and 98.1% specificity.    Conclusions: ABPI can be used as a routine tool in all patients with diabetic foot ulcers for screening peripheral arterial disease so that the decision for amputation can be made early during diabetic foot ulcers.

Published: June 2020

Parasitology can be defined as the branch of biology that studies parasites and parasitism in general, covering diverse areas, such as helminthology, protozoology, ectoparasitology and entomology. Due to the large amount of content studied and the complexity of scientific names, it is generally difficult for students to fix the content taught during the course. Gamification has been gaining ground in current teaching methodologies, as it represents an alternative way of how knowledge can be passed on, as it is clear that the playful form of teaching shows a higher rate of fixation and learning. Therefore, the aim was to develop a quiz application on veterinary parasitology for Android smartphones. The game was called VetParasitoQuiz, having been made available on Google’s online store for downloads on Android devices. Then, it was tested and evaluated by the students enrolled in the discipline of Veterinary Parasitology and the discipline of Parasitic Diseases of the semesters of 2018, of the Veterinary Medicine course at the Federal Institute of Paraíba (IFPB) Sousa campus, where they evaluated the effectiveness of methods alternatives in teaching-learning, where through questionnaires and through the performance evaluation in the game, obtained positive results, showing that the gamification in higher education contributes to the fixation of subjects and that through application there is a stimulus to learning in an unconventional way , allowing greater memorization of the contents.

Published: June 2020

Rocks that contain minerals with potassium in their chemical composition, such as, for example, Sienito and Nefelina-Sienito, are an alternative and potentially viable source for extraction of this element, however, for structural reasons this potassium is insoluble and can not be absorbed by plants. Considering that Brazil imports almost as much potassium as the agricultural industry requires, it is necessary to look for alternative ways and routes to take advantage of potentially producing sources. In this sense, a route of mineral processing and metallurgical extraction was proposed in order to make the K present in the Nefelina-Sienito rocks extracted in the city of Pedra Lavrada/PB soluble and usable. The methodology used was to apply thermal treatment and hydrometallurgical extraction with citric acid to analyze the solubility of potassium in two granulometric ranges defined by the granulochemical characterization carried out initially. The results of the granulochemical analysis showed that the highest concentrations of the element of interest were in the bands: retained in 200 and passed through 200 meshes. However, the results of the metallurgical extraction as a function of the different temperatures showed that the highest percentage of solubility (7.68%) was for samples with a grain size less than 200 mesh and a calcination temperature of 1000 ° C.

Authors: Borissova Daniela , Keremedchiev Delyan , Tuparov Georgi
Published: June 2020

In traditional and e-learning the tests play an important role to track the learners’ progress. In this regard, the paper deals with the generation of test with different levels of complexity directly associated with particular evaluation. An algorithm for the generation of tests with different levels of complexity using multi-criteria optimization is proposed. It is important to note that all test items could be considered as an element of a level in an educational game or gamified environment, and their weight influences the complexity of the game. The results show that the proposed model allows the generation of tests not only with different levels of complexity, but it also provides additional flexibility in respect of the selected number of questions and their weight. The proposed algorithm could be realized as a separate module for etesting, or it could be integrated in the learning management system.

This study examined the influence of Career Self-Efficacy, Gender Stereotyping and Career Self-Concept on Sex-Typed career choices of students in the Asante Akim North Municipality. The descriptive, survey design using the quantitative approach was adopted for the study. Eight hundred (800) final year Senior High School Students (five hundred) (500) males and three hundred (300) females from the Asante Akim North Municipality were selected for the study using opportunistic and purposive sampling methods. Data were analyzed using various analytical techniques including multiple regression and t-tests. Among the present study’ findings were that Career Self-Efficacy was found to have more influence on the students’ Choice of Sex-Typed Career than Gender Stereotyping and Career Self-Concept. The present findings also suggested that the female students chose significantly more female-dominated Careers than their male counterparts. Similarly, students from female-dominated families chose more female-denominated careers than those from male-dominated families. Among the recommendations was that since it was found that students in the present study appeared to sex-stereotype careers, more guidance and counselling co-ordinators should be trained in order to counsel students to choose career according to their abilities and not their sex. The findings are discussed in relation to pervious findings and recommendations made based on the present findings.

Published: June 2020

Background: Although a highly common practice in hospital care, tablet splitting can cause dose variation and reduce drug stability, both of which impair drug therapy.

Objective: To determine the overall prevalence of tablet splitting in hospital care as evidence supporting the rational prescription of split tablets in hospitals.

Methods: Data collected from inpatients’ prescriptions were analyzed using descriptive statistics and used to calculate the overall prevalence of tablet splitting and the percentage of split tablets that had at least one lower-strength tablet available on the market. The associations between the overall prevalence and gender, age, and hospital unit of patients were also assessed. The results of laboratory tests, performed with a commercial splitter, allowed the calculation of the mass loss, mass variation, and friability of the split tablets.

Results: The overall prevalence of tablet splitting was 4.5%, and 78.5% of tablets prescribed to be split had at least one lower-strength tablet on the market. The prevalence of tablet splitting was significantly associated with the patient’s age and hospital unit. Laboratory tests revealed mean values of mass loss and variation of 8.7% (SD 1.8) and 11.7% (SD 2.3), respectively, both of which were significantly affected by the presence of coating and scoreline. Data from laboratory tests indicated that the quality of 12 of the 14 tablets deviated in at least one parameter examined.

Conclusions: The high percentage of unnecessary tablet splitting suggests that more regular, rational updates of the hospital’s list of standard medicines are needed. Also, inappropriate splitting behavior suggests the need to develop tablets with functional scores.

Small states and international relations pedagogy: Exploring the creative agency frontier
Authors: Wright Nancy E.
Published: June 2020

Los Estados soberanos más pequeños del mun­do, que de hecho comprenden la mayoría de los Estados soberanos en todo el mundo, tie­nen mucho que enseñarnos sobre las diferentes interpretaciones del poder. La gran parte de los estudios de relaciones internacionales (ir) se han centrado tradicionalmente en el poder como control o coerción; sin embargo, el po­der también puede significar capacidad, que se logra a través de lo que este artículo identifica como agencia creativa. Aquí, la agencia crea­tiva se define como la capacidad de acuerdo con la forma en que uno interpreta el poder y los beneficios asociados con ese poder. Por lo tanto, ciertos componentes del poder, como la hegemonía regional o global, pueden no ser relevantes para la agencia creativa; por el contrario, una identidad cultural fuerte o una economía de nicho puede ser esencial. Este artículo divide los Estados pequeños en tres categorías: (1) 2 microestados, definidos aquí como Estados con poblaciones de menos de medio millón y/o un área no marítima de menos de 1,000 kilómetros cuadrados; (2) Estados con poblaciones de entre medio millón y un millón; y (3) Estados considerados peque­ños principalmente en relación con sus vecinos más grandes. Utiliza ejemplos de todas estas ca­tegorías para ilustrar el fenómeno de la agencia creativa con respecto a la formación del Estado y el tipo de gobierno y gobernanza. Debido a que el enfoque del artículo es la pedagogía, el texto incluye referencias a temas clave que los instructores pueden presentar con Estados pequeños, así como a trabajos representativos sobre Estados pequeños de ciencias políticas, derecho, historia y antropología
La tecnología y el estructuralismo económico

La disciplina de las relaciones internacionales cumple un siglo de haber sido fundada. El avance tecnológico y los cambios dentro de la vida internacional han llevado a reflexionar sobre su impacto en el funcionamiento del sis­tema internacional y sus consecuencias. El ma­terialismo dialéctico permite comprender este nuevo elemento y su resultado en las dinámicas internacionales, el cual es considerable, pues si bien es cierto que atrae nuevos avances para los individuos, el comercio y las comunicaciones, también acrecienta la desigualdad ya existente entre los Estados y fortalece la división estruc­tural entre ellos.
O ensino e a pesquisa em relações internacionais no Brasil – sentidos e desafios da decolonialidade
Authors: Vargas Mojana , Contti Castro Aline
Published: June 2020

El objetivo del artículo es analizar en qué me­dida la perspectiva descolonial se refleja en la enseñanza y la investigación en el área de rela­ciones internacionales (RI) en Brasil. La prime­ra parte es conceptual y discute los significados de la decolonialidad y sus interfaces con el área de ri. Después, se presenta el análisis empírico, que utilizó documentos, datos y estudios rela­cionados con los cursos de grado y posgrado brasileños en esta área. Se destacaron avances iniciales con la inclusión de los debates sobre las relaciones étnico-raciales en los cursos de grado, la constitución de grupos de investiga­ción y la existencia de algunas (pocas) tesis de posdoctorado sobre el tema. Sin embargo, se encontraron varios desafíos importantes para que la decolonialidad se afirme como un eje relevante en los estudios brasileños de RI, entre ellos la pequeña inserción de estos contenidos en los planes de estudio de grado, la centrali­dad de las teorías centradas en el Estado y el racismo y la resistencia institucional.

Objectives: To compare periarticular infiltration and intraarticular continuous infusion methods in pain management following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods: Patients who underwent TKA from May 2015 through September 2015 according to their postoperative pain protocol were compared. The patients who received bupivacaine by periarticular infiltration (PAI group) and intraarticular infusion (IAI group) were included in the study. Patients also received a treatment through intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) device. The frequency of patients’ bolus need and the tramadol dose used via PCA device, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores and clinical evaluation as active knee flexion at the postoperative 3th day were obtained from the patient follow - up forms and records. Side effects related to narcotic analgesic medications were also obtained. Results: The study included 90 patients, of whom 46 were in the PAI group (median age, 65.5 years; females, 82.6%) and 44 were in the IAI group (median age: 65.5 years; females, 81.8%). The VAS pain scores assessed at various postoperative time points and tramadol consumption were usually lower in the IAI group than in the PAI group. No difference was determined between the groups regarding the 3th-day VAS scores in flexion and in terms of analgesia-associated side effects. Conclusions: Bupivacaine administration by IAI for postoperative pain management following TKA is associated with lower pain and lower tramadol consumption as compared with bupivacaine administration by PAI. The groups were comparable in terms of side effects. Accordingly, IAI seems to be an effective and safe analgesic technique for patients undergoing TKA.

Küreselleşmeyle birlikte tüm
toplumlar daha fazla homojen bir yapıya kavuşmuşlarsa da ülkelerin kültürel özellikleri
belirgin olarak hissedilmektedir. Kültürün gerek gündelik yaşamda gerekse de
insanlar arasındaki etkileşimde önemli bir rol oynaması, özellikle uluslararası
işletmecilik faaliyetlerini ve iş yapma biçimlerini doğrudan etkilemektedir.
Kültürel farklılıklar nedeniyle birçok problemlerle karşı karşıya kalan
işletmelerin başarılı olabilmeleri faaliyette bulunulan ülkenin kültürünü
tanımalarına bağlıdır.

Bu çalışma Ukrayna ve Türkiye
toplumları arasındaki kültürel benzerlikler ve farklılıkların iş yaşamına
etkilerini tespit ederek karşılaşılan problemlere çözüm önerileri getirmeyi
amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemi kullanarak 11 Ukraynalı
yönetici ile derinlemesine yapılan görüşmeler yoluyla veriler toplanmıştır.
Toplanılan veriler betimsel olarak analiz edilmiş, karşılaşılan problemler ve
bu probleme ilişkin çözüm önerileri ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Çalışma
katılımcıların verdiği yanıtlar ışığında yabancı yöneticilerin ülkemizde
liderlik etkinliklerinin yüksek olabilmesi için dil öğrenme, aile yapısını
anlama, dini inanç ve değerlere saygı gösterme, yasalar ve yerel yönetim
uygulamalarını öğrenme gibi konularda kendilerini geliştirmeleri gerektiğini
ortaya koymaktadır.

El presente trabajo se desarrolló entre los años 2015 y 2018 en la comunidad de Corral de Piedra de Nicoya, en la provincia de Guanacaste. En esta zona existen dos estaciones: seca y lluviosa; no obstante, los embates del cambio climático han propiciado cambios drásticos en los patrones de precipitación y fuertes épocas de sequía. En el estudio se evaluó la calidad del agua para consumo humano que abastece a la comunidad y se determinó que existe alto cumplimiento con lo establecido en el decreto 38924-S en cuanto a los parámetros fisicoquímicos y microbiológicos. Según los criterios de calidad del agua de pozos y nacientes de Mora-Alvarado et ál, los resultados obtenidos para las muestras colectadas en la comunidad de Corral de Piedra, en la mayoría de los sitios de muestreo, indican condiciones de calidad excelente. Además, se realizó una caracterización hidrogeoquímica del agua extraída del pozo mediante el diagrama de Piper, que la identificó como agua de tipo bicarbonatada-cálcica. La aplicación de la matriz de correlación de Kendall arrojó 25 correlaciones significativas, de las cuales pH-nitrato y conductividad–bicarbonato fueron las mayores. Por último, se realizó el análisis de componentes principales, y resultó que 5 componentes principales explican en forma significativa la varianza de los datos (85,6%).

El objetivo de la investigación fue evaluar los progenitores y sus cruzas, y estimar la heterosis y la heterobeltiosis en híbridos de tomate de cáscara (Physalis ixocarpa Brot). Los progenitores fueron UAN CC-S2 (1), un genotipo de Physalis angulata (2), UAN CP-S2 (3), Gran Esmeralda (4), UAN CJ-S2 (5), Rendidora (6) y UAN 133-05 (7). Los cruzamientos planta a planta fueron en invernadero, en otoño-invierno de 2012; la evaluación de cruzas y progenitores se realizó en el municipio de General Cepeda, Coahuila, México, en primavera-verano de 2013, bajo un diseño de bloques al azar con tres repeticiones. En cuanto a rendimiento, la cruza más rendidora fue 3*4, con rendimientos de 47.19 t.ha-1, heterosis de 35.93% y heterobeltiosis de 20.85%; sin embargo, la cruza 1*6 presentó valores mayores de heterosis y heterobeltiosis, 117.91 y 117.62% respectivamente. Para número de frutos por planta, la cruza 7*3 mostró los valores de heterosis y heterobeltiosis mayores, 109.19 y 89.96% respectivamente. En cuanto a peso promedio del fruto, diámetro ecuatorial del fruto y diámetro polar del fruto, la mejor cruza fue la 3*4, que presentó heterosis de 41.17, 11.40 y 12.56% y heterobeltiosis de 37.99, 9.26 y 12.03% respectivamente, si bien la cruza 1*5 mostró valores de 115.91% de heterosis y 107.83% de heterobeltiosis en peso promedio del fruto. Entre las poblaciones estudiadas existe divergencia genética, puesto que presentaron altos valores de heterosis; además, los efectos maternos influyeron de forma significativa en las variables en estudio, indicando la mejor dirección de la cruza.

The present work evaluated the effect of an energetic supplement (an extra 15% of the requirement) intake during the last month of gestation on the suckling behavior of neonatal lambs born from these ewes. The study was performed in a semi-intensive and commercial flock under hot sub humid tropical conditions. 12 Pelibuey ewes and their 20 newborn lambs were included. Five lamb behaviors were evaluated: number of vocalizations (NV), attempts to stand up (ASU), latency to keep stands (LKS), started looking for the udder (SLU) and achieved an effective suckling (AES). Twelve lambs conformed the control group [CG] and came from seven ewes which received an energetic supplementation of 7.37 megajoules of metabolizable energy per day (MJ EM/d). Likewise, eight lambs conformed the treatment group [TG] and came from five ewes which received a high energetic supplementation of 10.85 MJ EM/d. Both groups of ewes gave birth simultaneously. Response variables were initially categorized in low-or-high intensity using their quartile distribution and considering the median value as the reference point and analyzed post-hoc with the Fisher test. Behaviors of high and low intensity in lambs were similar in four of the five variables observed for both treatments. A significant difference was observed in the frequency of ASU, in lambs born from treated ewes when compared with lambs born from control ewes (P = 0.0281). The present results suggest that under semi-extensive breeding systems, the extra supplementation of ewes at 15 % of their energetic requirements during the last pregnancy month is reflected just in a slight improvement of the lamb’s behaviors.

ABSTRACT

 

Pasung is an act of restraint or physical limitation of activities to control people with mental health disorders (ODGJ) that are not controlled by ordinary people or non-professionals. The problem encountered in the installed ODGJ is the stigma from the community. Stigma is one of the inhibiting factors in healing ODGJ. The purpose of this study is to find out the description of the community's stigma of ODGJ being put in a parachute. The study design uses quantitative descriptive. Sample of 150 respondents using purposive sampling technique. The research instrument used the Community Attitudes questionnaire toward the Mentally Ill. Analysis of the data used is the frequency distribution. The results showed that 50.7% of the people were pro-stigmatized while 49.3% were counter-stigmatized. The results showed that there was still a stigma about the ODGJ being installed. The stigma of the ODGJ installed has a negative impact on all aspects of life. ODGJ are often victims of criminal acts, discriminated against and excluded. Inclusion in ODGJ can be prevented and overcome by involving the active role of all parties comprehensively.
