Keywords as Markers Indicating Lifestyle of People in Altai Ditties of the 1930s–1950s
Authors:   Altai State Pedagogical University, Maryina Olga , Kraeva Veronika ,   Altai State Pedagogical University
Published: December 2024

The work examines key words in Altai ditties as markers covering different aspects of people’s lives over
several decades. Having studied existing approaches to understanding, isolating and establishing the functions
of keywords, as well as correlating them with markers, we defi ned keywords as a sign, a marker indicating a
stage, time, segment of the life of individual people or an entire generation. This is the relevance of the work.
Because of keywords, which turn out to be so solely in connection with the designated topic of research, and
not with the leading themes of ditties serving as research material, readers have the opportunity to imagine
what people did, how they spent their free time, what kind of work they did, what kind of clothes and shoes were
worn. The purpose of the study is to identify key words in the texts of Altai ditties dating back to the period of
the 1930s–1950s as markers, thanks to which it becomes possible to determine the interests and lifestyle of
people at a certain time in a certain area. The methodological basis of the study is a combination of a number of
methods: semantic, extralinguistic, contextual analysis and classifi cation method which do not exist in isolation
but in interaction with others. Thanks to a comprehensive methodology for studying key words as markers in the
texts of Altai ditties, it becomes possible to establish what young people did, what interested them and what they
cared about in the 1930s–1950s. This study shows only some aspects of the life of people in a certain area.The
research material seems interesting from the perspective of philology, cultural studies, history, and expands the
understanding of the life of people mainly in rural areas in the Altai Territory in the fi rst half of the twentieth century. The prospect of the work is seen in expanding the research material, which would allow us to “fi ll” existing
thematic groups and identify new ones, to go “beyond the boundaries” of the period analyzed
Mythologeme “Earth” in the Novel “Life and Fate” by V. S. Grossman
Authors:   Irkutsk National Research Technical University, Vairakh Yuliya , Kazorina Anna ,   Irkutsk State University
Published: December 2024

The article examines aspects of the inner world, mental images that arise in connection with the comprehension of the writer’s artistic world. The study analyzes the mythologeme “Earth” (“mother moist earth, motherland,
native land, nature”), the fi gurative structure of which is presented in the artistic space of the novel “Life and Fate”
by V. S. Grossman. Linguistic means express mythological and symbolic imagery in a work of art. The purpose
of the study is to analyze the images of “one’s own”, “native” and “alien”, “non-native”, which actualize the mythologeme “Earth” in the individual Grossman’s picture of the world. Highlighting conceptual connections in the
text shows the ideas of V. S. Grossman and his individual author’s picture, reveals the linguocultural meanings
of the national linguistic picture of the world. In our study, the mythologeme “Earth” is considered as an individual
author’s formation in the artistic world in the novel “Life and Fate” by V. S. Grossman. The mythologem “Earth”
represents the author’s multidimensional understanding of the images of the earth (the image of the native
land, the image of “mother moist earth”, the image of the motherland, the image of nature) as generic markers
of the metaphorical imagery of the mythologem earth. In turn, they reveal the connection between Grossman’s
author’s worldview and the artistic world of the work, in which the ancestral connection of generations protecting
Mother Earth is actualized in multiple contexts. The topic raised is not presented in the scientifi c literature, which
undoubtedly determines the novelty of the study, during which analytical, descriptive and interpretive methods
were used. In the course of the study, four semantic blocks of contexts are identifi ed that express the generic
taxonomy of the imagery of the mythologeme “Earth” (the image of the native land, the image of “mother moist
earth”, the image of the motherland, the image of nature). The study of the imagery of the mythologeme “Earth”
by identifying generic, mythological, theomorphic, ritual, ritual metaphors seems to be a scientifi cally based necessity and a prospect for further research into the individual author’s picture of the world.

Variability of hydrophysical fields under the influence of tides in the river plume frontal zone of the Onega Bay of the White Sea according to a study conducted in June 2023
Authors: Zimin A. V. , Atadzhanova O. A. , Svergun E. I. , Konik А. А.
Published: December 2024

The  results  of  a  series  of  experiments  conducted  in  June 2023 in the Onega Bay of the White Sea are presented. The study included quasi-temporal in situ and satellite observations in the vicinity of the river plume frontal area formed by the waters of the Onega River. The main objectives were to define the characteristics and dynamics of the area under the influence of tides, as well as to assess the causes of short-term spatial and temporal variability in the characteristics of thermohaline fields. The results show that tides have a significant effect on the structure of waters near the Lyamitsky shore. Here, a large contribution is made by fast-flowing water oscillations associated with short-term internal waves, which frequently occur near the frontal interface. The study demonstrates that the use of high-resolution optical and radar satellite imagery allows a more efficient analysis of frontal and wave dynamics, which is of great importance for understanding the peculiarities of local hydrodynamic processes in the water areas of tidal seas.

Authors: Tat Ho Tuan , Phan Thanh Hai , Nguyen Thai-Ha , Mai Thi Thuong
Published: December 2024

This study aimed to identify current research trends and future directions in the field of emotional intelligence and job performance through bibliometric and thematic analysis. Data were collected from 327 documents published between 2000 and 2024 in the Scopus database. Using descriptive statistics, bibliometric analysis, and thematic analysis with VOSViewer software, the findings indicate that the relationship between emotional intelligence and job performance has been a longstanding research focus and continues to grow, especially in fields like business and management, with concentrated research efforts in leading developed nations such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Thematic analysis identified five primary research directions and confirmed the strong relationship between emotional intelligence and job performance. Particularly in critical fields like education, healthcare, information technology, banking, and hospitality, this topic has received considerable attention and is expected to continue producing notable research in the future. Additionally, the study’s findings suggest that the rapid advancement of science and technology, multicultural business environments, and the increasing complexity of workplace crises and conflict resolution underscore the necessity for continued exploration of emotional intelligence and its connection to job performance. Future research in this area is anticipated to diversify and expand across various industries and organizational types, adapting to the evolving demands of modern business settings.

ACTN3 R577X Polymorphism and Anaerobic Performance in Ultimate Frisbee Players: A Preliminary Study
Authors: Pekdaş Mehmet Alperen , Subaşı Feryal , Güleç Seda , Kocadal Onur , İsbir Turgay
Published: December 2024

Purpose: ACTN3 R577X polymorphism is a frequently studied gene polymorphism associated with athletic performance. Studies have demonstrated a strong association between the 577RR genotype and sprint and power-based sports. Ultimate Frisbee (UF) is a physically demanding sport requiring aerobic and anaerobic skills. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the ACTN3 R577X polymorphism and the anaerobic power capabilities of UF players.
Methods: The study included 30 UF players in the study group (mean age ± SD 21.03 ± 2.04 years) and 30 volunteers in the control group (mean age ± SD 22.17 ± 1.39 years). Anaerobic power was assessed using vertical jump, running-based anaerobic sprint (RAST), triple hop, and closed kinetic chain upper extremity tests. Blood samples were genotyped using real-time polymerase chain reaction. RR, RX, and XX represent homozygous dominant, heterozygous dominant, and recessive genotypes, respectively.
Results: Fatigue Index (FI) data from RAST test results was the only variable that differed between study and control groups (Study Group: 6.02 ± 3.52 vs. Control Group: 4.17 ± 1.71 watts/sec, p = 0.012). There was no statistically significant difference between the study and control groups in vertical jump, triple hop, and closed kinetic chain upper extremity test results. No statistically significant difference was found in anaerobic performance tests among the genotype groups in UF players.
Conclusion: In this study conducted with limited sample size, the anaerobic performance of UF players was not found to be associated with ACTN3 R577X polymorphism. However, performing the same screening in larger sample groups in future studies may yield more efficient results.
O impacto da corrupção no desenvolvimento dos brics: uma análise de efeito no desenvolvimento das firmas
Authors:   , Barreto Adna Raquel de Morais
Published: December 2024

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo investigar o impacto da corrupção no desenvolvimento das firmas e, por conseguinte, nas nações que formam os BRICS onde estão situadas. São agregadas nesta análise indicadores econômicos e de governança buscando avaliar a forma como cada um destes relacionam-se e contribuem para o crescimento econômico. Por meio da análise dos resultados obtidos a partir do estudo da correlação entre os indicadores, foi possível aferir que a Corrupção está mais presente nos contextos onde a Eficácia do Governo, a Qualidade Regulatória e o Estado de Direito são mais ausentes. Ademais, estes indicadores apresentam efeito positivo à Receita das firmas, enquanto que a Corrupção apresenta efeito contrário. A estimativa de um modelo econométrico realizada por regressão utilizando o método dos Mínimos Quadrados Ordinários permitiu observar que inicialmente a corrupção pode ser uma alternativa viável para a superação dos entraves burocráticos, ineficiência e falhas das instituições. No entanto, ao analisar todos os fatores presentes no cenário em que as firmas estão inseridas, é possível sugerir que a corrupção não facilita o desenvolvimento, mas leva a ineficiência para dentro das firmas ao desviar recursos e esforços que passam a formar barreiras ao crescimento.
A equidade no acesso às universidades federais e a aplicação da ação afirmativa de regionalidade na ufersa
Authors:   , Silvino Wendson Max
Published: December 2024

O atual plano nacional de educação, na sua meta 12, estabelece a elevação das taxas de escolarização superior, a taxa bruta para 50% e a taxa líquida para 33%, fazendo o Brasil mudar do sistema de ensino de elite para um sistema de massas. Para cumprir a meta, o plano estabelece estratégias para diminuir as desigualdades de acesso de grupos que historicamente têm sido privados dessa liberdade, são os egressos do ensino médio de escolas públicas, os pretos, pardos e indígenas, as pessoas de baixa renda, e os deficientes. A pesquisa analisou a inclusão desses grupos do ponto de vista da equidade sugerida para esses na lei das cotas. A pesquisa bibliográfica foi realizada sobre os temas de equidade na nova administração pública, igualdade e liberdades. Também sobre conceitos de eficiência, eficácia e efetividade nas políticas públicas. Foi feito um resumo sobre o histórico, vagas, formas de acesso, elitização e ações afirmativas no ensino superior no Brasil. Na pesquisa exploratória foram analisados os atuais índices da meta e a colaboração da UFERSA, para isso, foi dimensionada a taxa líquida dos ingressantes. Foi feita uma análise qualitativa da equidade das ações da lei. Na UFERSA essa análise se deu de forma quantitativa pelo dimensionamento das taxas de participação dos ingressantes dos grupos. Na terceira parte do estudo de caso, foi simulada a aplicação de uma nova ação afirmativa na UFERSA, o fator de regionalidade, e medidas as taxas de regionalidade antes e depois da aplicação. A análise mostrou que o Brasil dificilmente alcançará os índices da meta 12 do plano. Apesar disso, as universidades federais têm colaborado positivamente através da lei das cotas. A lei está sendo eficaz, pois está possibilitando aumento no ingresso de alunos das dos grupos propostos. No entanto, a seleção precisar ser mais eficiente no sentido de diminuir obstáculos da implantação como a conferência de dados de renda e tipo de escola. A lei também precisa ser mais efetiva, aprimorando a comprovação da cota por raça, atentando às diferenças regionais da cota por renda e às diferenças entre as escolas estaduais e federais. A única ação com potencial para satisfazer a equidade do grupo proposto efetivamente é a cota para deficientes, pois exige comprovação médica. A ação de regionalidade vem sendo implantada pelas universidades e tem se mostrado necessária, especialmente para cursos de elite como medicina, para possibilitar maior ingresso dos candidatos da região. Na UFERSA, essa ação aumentaria a regionalidade, assim como aumentaria a taxa líquida dos ingressantes.

Although Islamic Banking has shown its performance as a solution-oriented bank, the Islamic banking sector still has difficulties in maintaining the stability of its profitability. In fact, to carry out its operations, banks must have high profits and when the Islamic banking sector is strong, it is very important for financial inclusion and stability of the domestic banking system. Having profitability above the minimum limit set by Bank Indonesia is the key to achieving positive banking performance. This study aims to investigate the determinants of profitability in the Islamic banking industry in Indonesia, using panel data from Sharia Commercial Banks in the period 2018 to 2022. The authors used panel data regression analysis to test the influence of CAR, NPF, FDR, and BOPO on Profitability represented by Return on Assets (ROA). Interestingly, of the four hypotheses formed, only the BOPO variable has a significant effect on profitability (ROA). This result is useful to help banking stakeholders in knowing the factors to maximize their profitability, then it is also used for government stakeholders such as the Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK) and Bank Indonesia (BI) in evaluating the financial performance of Islamic banking.

Indonesia has many tourist destinations visited by local and foreign residents. So, Indonesia has great prospects for the tourism sector. However, Covid-19 caused tourism performance to decline as a result of government policy (PPKM). Covid-19 as an investment risk can undermine investor confidence in tourism sector stocks so that stock returns will be affected. This research aims to compare the influence of price and trading volume on tourism company stock returns before and during Covid-19 in Indonesia. This research uses the Vector Auto Regression method. The data used is a time series with a monthly time period from 2017 to 2022. This research found that the similarity of results in the period before and during Covid-19 shows that share prices are an important factor for low, medium and high return companies so that companies need to maintain market prices to be balanced. Low return companies are more sensitive to market shocks so they must be careful about risks. Trading volume is important for high return companies so it needs to be increased so that transactions also increase.

A Decolonial Spinoza: An Interpretation in Tension
Authors: Bodde Emerson
Published: December 2024

Following Santiago Slabodsky’s articulation of a tradition of decolonial Judaism and his suggestion that Spinoza might be considered a part of it, I argue that Spinoza may be considered a decolonial thinker. While outlining the historical context in which the Jewish Spinoza wrote, I present an interpretation of Spinoza’s philosophy—in particular, the political implications of his substance monism and naturalism—and demonstrate how it satisfies general standards for a decolonial theory. In addition to highlighting relevant topics in Spinoza’s corpus, including the notion of servitude and his passing comments on Islam, I rebut several potential objections to this reading. While accepting points of tension, I claim a generally consistent, decolonial character may define the overall system of Spinoza’s philosophy. I conclude the paper by considering the relationship between this interpretation and the only proper mention of colonialism in Spinoza’s corpus, i.e., his waking dream of a silent Afro-Brazilian man.
Benjamin and Spinoza on Time and History: Some Reading Paths
Authors: Quintili Paolo
Published: December 2024

Only recently have philosophical historiography and Benjaminian studies turned their attention to the relationship between Benjamin and Spinoza’s philosophy, with its possible links of affinity (and distance), regarding the conception of time and history. Here we would like to follow some reading paths recently proposed by various interpreters, of particular interest around Benjamin’s reflections on For the Critique of Violence (1920) and the Theological-Political Fragment (1921-22). From such an analysis emerges the figure of a different conception of historical temporality in the two philosophers, which circumvents, in different ways, both the unilinear, “Oedipal” and Platonic-Christian conception of time and the cyclical and recursive conception of the Stoic matrix, both of which are at the basis of the central western vision of historicity.

EVALUATION OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SUPPLEMENTARY FOOD PROGRAM AS AN EFFORT TO IMPROVE THE NUTRITION OF STUNTING TODDLERS IN THE WORK AREA OF THE PUSKESMAS KARANGDORO
Authors: 'Ulya Niswah Attazkiatul , Maharani Chatila
Published: December 2024

The Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey (SSGI) in 2021 the prevalence of stunting was 24.4% and in 2022 the prevalence decreased by 2.8% to 21.6%.  The prevalence of stunting in Central Java has decreased from 20.9% in 2021 to 20.8% in 2022. Karangdoro Health Center in 2023 has a prevalence of stunting with a total of 614 toddlers. One of the efforts in handling stunting cases is through a supplementary feeding program to achieve optimal nutritional status and prevent stunting. This study aims to determine the inputs, processes, outputs, and outcomes in the implementation of the supplementary feeding program for stunting toddlers in the Karangdoro Puskesmas working area, East Semarang District in 2024. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, 17 informants were selected by purposive sampling. Data collection using in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation was conducted in September 2024. The results of the input, process, output, and outcome research show that the implementation of the PMT program is good, but there are several things that have not run optimally such as the lack of educational media facilities and infrastructure, refusal to provide additional food from families of toddlers, lack of supervision and monitoring from nutrition implementers, as well as program achievements that have not been maximized and the decline in stunting rates that are still fluctuating. The supplementary feeding program in the Karangdoro Puskesmas working area requires improvement and monitoring or supervision from the puskesmas.
РІВНІ ТЕСТОСТЕРОНУ ТА СОМАТОТРОПНОГО ГОРМОНУ У ЧОЛОВІКІВ КОМБАТАНТІВ В ЗАЛЕЖНОСТІ ВІД ОБ’ЄМУ РАНОВОГО УШКОДЖЕННЯ ТІЛА

Посттравматичний стресовий розлад (ПТСР) вражає приблизно 8% загального населення. Поширеність ПТСР вдвічі вища серед військовослужбовців і ветеранів бойових дій. ПТСР пов’язаний із безліччю соціальних або особистих проблем зі здоров’ям. Хоча розвиток цього захворювання внаслідок труднощів у стосунках у більш широкому сенсі вже досліджувався, менше відомо про зв’язок між ПТСР і сексуальними дисфункціями.
Метою дослідження було визначення основних закономірностей між об’ємом ранового ушкодження (з одного боку) та змінами рівнів деяких гормонів у сироватці крові на різних етапах ранової хвороби (з іншого боку) з урахуванням того, що ці зміни – є важливими складовими загальних процесів, які обумовлюють перебіг ранового процесу.
Матеріали та методи. У досліджені брали участь 30 чоловіків, які отримали поранення м’яких тканин різного об’єму ураження. Вік поранених 34,2 ± 4,3 роки. Середня маса тіла становила 78 ± 3,5 кг. Визначались рівні соматотропного гормону (СТГ) та тестостерону.
Результати. Під час дослідження було зареєстровано вірогідне (р<0,05) зростання СТГ в групі пацієнтів із пораненнями легкого ступеня вже з першої доби після поранення. Такі високі рівні СТГ у чоловіків комбатантів спостерігалися впродовж всього дослідження. У групі пацієнтів з пораненням середнього ступеня важкості ми спостерігали вірогідне (р<0,05) збільшення рівня СТГ, яке розпочиналось з першої доби та трималось на високому рівні до 5 доби після поранення. Але вже через два тижні, концентрація гормону росту знизилась майже до рівня контрольних показників. В групі важких поранених ми реєстрували значну відмінність у показниках в залежності від доби поранення.
Динаміка рівнів тестостерону, яка була отримана в дослідженні, повністю відповідає даним літератури відносно того, що тяжке пошкодження практично завжди супроводжується пригніченням функції статевих залоз, що проявляється зниженням продукції тестостерону, який посилює анаболічні процеси.
У нашому дослідженні звертає на себе увагу доволі низький рівень тестостерону у всіх молодих чоловіків із пораненнями середнього та важкого ступеню. При цьому слід зауважити, що рівень тестостерону у чоловіків з легкими пораненнями не відрізнявся від контрольної групи.
Висновки. По-перше, встановлена залежність рівнів соматотропного гормону та тестостерону від важкості поранення у чоловіків комбатантів. По-друге, підтверджено роль тестостерону й соматотропного гормону в розвитку посттравматичного стресового розладу та сексуальної дисфункції у чоловіків – учасників бойових дій.
Ключові слова: посттравматичний стресовий розлад, рани, ушкодження тіла, війна, соматотропний гормон, тестостерон, чоловіки.
Day-of-the-Week Effect during COVID-19 Pandemic: An Empirical Study of Indian Stock Market
Authors: Yadav Monika , Kadian Pushpender
Published: December 2024

In the context of an efficient market, it is conventionally anticipated that uniform returns would manifest across weekdays. This study empirically scrutinised the manifestation of the day-of-the-week (DOW) effect within the Indian stock market amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Utilising daily closing price data spanning the COVID-19 period from March 11, 2020, to September 30, 2021, for three key indices (BSE Sensex, Nifty-50, and SX 40) listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), National Stock Exchange (NSE), and Metropolitan Stock Exchange of India (MSEI), respectively, dummy variable regression analysis was employed to probe the DOW effect. The findings indicate that Monday returns exhibit negativity, a significant trend observed solely for the BSE Sensex index. Conversely, significant positive returns are evident on Tuesday, Wednesday (excluding SX40 index), and Friday, throughout the remaining weekdays. Moreover, Tuesday records the highest returns, closely followed by Friday. Thus, collectively, it can be inferred that both the Tuesday effect and the Friday effect are discernible within the Indian stock market amidst the COVID-19 pandemic period.
A Systematic Review on the Role of SnRK2 Gene in Arabidopsis thaliana Growth Stages under Abiotic Stresses
Authors: Amjad Elham , Sokouti Babak , Asnaashari Solmaz , Dastmalchi Siavoush
Published: December 2024

This systematic review examines the role of SnRK2 (Sucrose non-fermenting 1-Related protein Kinase 2) genes in Arabidopsis thaliana growth and responses to abiotic stresses. SnRK2 protein kinases are key components of abscisic acid (ABA) signaling and osmotic stress responses in plants. The review synthesizes findings from numerous studies on how different SnRK2 genes regulate Arabidopsis growth, development, and stress tolerance at various life stages.

Mechanical Characterization of a Tunable 3-D Collagen-Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel for Use in Cell Culture
Authors: Tucker Jared , Lai Victor
Published: December 2024

Many cells demonstrate variances in behavior due to their cell culture environment. To provide a mechanically-tunable, tissue-like environment, a 3D hydrogel for cell culture was formulated using collagen (Col) and hyaluronic acid (HA) to help provide a system for studying these dynamic cellular responses in a soft-tissue environment. A design of experiments was organized to study the effects of collagen concentration, HA fragment size, and Col: HA mass ratio on the hydrogel mechanical properties. Mechanical characterization of the gels was conducted using rheology and found that collagen concentration, but not HA content, directly modulated the hydrogel storage and loss modulus. The pore size of the hydrogels was also evaluated and found to trend directly with collagen concentration.

BACKGROUND

Long wait times for mental health treatments may cause delays in early detection and management of suicidal ideation and behaviors, which are crucial for effective mental health care and suicide prevention. The use of digital technology is a potential solution for prompt identification of youth with high suicidality.

OBJECTIVE

The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the use of a digital suicidality notification system designed to detect and respond to suicidal needs in youth mental health services. Second, the study aimed to characterize young people at different levels of suicidal ideation and behaviors.

METHODS

Young people aged between 16 and 25 years completed multidimensional assessments using a digital platform, collecting demographic, clinical, social, functional, and suicidality information. When the suicidality score exceeded a predetermined threshold, established based on clinical expertise and service policies, a rule-based algorithm configured within the platform immediately generated an alert for treating clinicians. Subsequent clinical actions and response times were analyzed.

RESULTS

A total of 2021 individuals participated, of whom 266 (11%) triggered one or more high suicidal ideation and behaviors notification. Of the 292 notifications generated, 76% (222/292) were resolved, with a median response time of 1.9 (range 0-50.8) days. Clinical actions initiated to address suicidality included creating safety plans (60%, 134/222), conducting safety checks (18%, 39/222), psychological therapy (8%, 17/222), transfer to another service (3%, 8/222), and scheduling of new appointments (2%, 4/222). Young people with high levels of suicidality were more likely to present with more severe and comorbid symptoms, including low engagement in work or education, heterogenous psychopathology, substance misuse, and recurrent illness.

CONCLUSIONS

The digital suicidality notification system facilitated prompt clinical actions by alerting clinicians to high levels of suicidal ideation and behaviors detected among youth. Further, the multidimensional assessment revealed complex and comorbid symptoms exhibited in youth with high suicidality. By expediting and personalizing care for those displaying elevated suicidality, the digital notification system can play a pivotal role in preventing rapid symptom progression and its detrimental impacts on young people’s mental health.

UNSTRUCTURED

Background: The Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT), an artificial intelligence-based web application, has demonstrated substantial potential across various knowledge domains, particularly in medicine. This cross-sectional study assessed the validity and possible usefulness of the ChatGPT-4 in assessing anxiety and depression by comparing two questionnaires.
Methods: This study tasked ChatGPT-4 with generating a structured interview questionnaire based on the validated Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 (GAD-7). This study utilized Spearman correlation analysis, Intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC), Youden’s index, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and Bland-Altman plots to evaluate the consistency between scores from a ChatGPT-4 adapted questionnaire and those from a validated questionnaire.
Results: A total of 200 college students participated. Cronbach’s α indicated acceptable reliability for both GPT-PHQ-9 (α = 0.75) and GPT-GAD-7 (α = 0.76). ICC values were 0.80 for PHQ-9 and 0.70 for GAD-7. Spearman’s correlation showed moderate associations with PHQ-9 (p = 0.63) and GAD-7 (p = 0.68). ROC curve analysis revealed optimal cutoffs of 9.5 for depressive symptoms and 6.5 for anxiety symptoms, both with high sensitivity and specificity.
Conclusions: The questionnaire adapted by ChatGPT-4 demonstrated good consistency with the validated questionnaire. Future studies should investigate the usefulness of the ChatGPT designed questionnaire in different populations.
Development of a Qigong Used for Insomnia Therapy (QUIT) in improving sleep quality and blood pressure in Chinese women with menopause: Pilot test of feasibility and efficacy (Preprint)
Authors: Huang Sean , Kim Jung Eun , Li Wen-Wen
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

A significant percentage (55%) of Chinese menopausal women suffer from insomnia, which is associated with elevated blood pressure. Despite this, the population remains under studied. Qigong, a simple form of Chinese exercise, has been shown to improve insomnia and blood pressure but has not been explicitly utilized to address menopausal symptoms in Chinese women. This study aims to test the efficacy of a Qigong-based intervention in enhancing sleep quality and blood pressure control in this population.

OBJECTIVE

To develop and pilot test the efficacy of a culturally sensitive Qigong Used for Insomnia Therapy (QUIT) intervention in improving sleep quality and blood pressure among Chinese menopausal women.

METHODS

From August 2023 to May 2024, this study utilized a one-group pretest-posttest design (n=22) to evaluate the QUIT intervention. The intervention consisted of a 10-minute Qigong demonstration video and a 20-minute insomnia counseling session at baseline, followed by a 10-minute phone-based check-in and counseling session two weeks later. Participants were instructed to engage in daily 10-minute Qigong practice for one month. Outcome measures, including sleep quality and blood pressure, were assessed at baseline and at the one-month follow-up. Sleep quality was evaluated using the 23-item Sleep Quality Scale (SQS-23), while blood pressure was measured using an Omron digital blood pressure monitor (model HEM-7201), adhering to Joint National Committee VII guidelines.

RESULTS

The mean age of participants was 53.78±8.79 years (range: 42-74). Most participants lived with relatives or friends (91%), were employed (74%), married (87%), and had higher education (61%). The mean SQS-23 score significantly improved from 18.59±11.41 at baseline to 15.64±9.65 (mean difference 2.96±7.04, p=0.03) after one month, indicating better sleep quality (the SQS-23 was reversely scored). There was a trend towards reduced systolic blood pressure from 115.47±14.95 at baseline to 113.59±13.93 (mean difference 0.89±1.64, p=0.26) after one month. Diastolic blood pressure also improved from 74.69±10.81 at baseline to 71.41±16.82 at one month (mean difference 3.28±4.04, p=0.43).

CONCLUSIONS

The QUIT intervention was culturally sensitive, low-cost, and easy to implement. It showed significant improvements in sleep quality and trends towards reduced blood pressure in Chinese menopausal women. Further investigation is recommended to establish a robust intervention program across different states. Once validated, the QUIT program can be implemented in various clinical settings to help Chinese menopausal women achieve optimal sleep quality and blood pressure management.

Authors: Candra Ilham Agustian , Nurkhalisa Shafiya
Published: December 2024

After the Spanish flu pandemic in 1920s, the world experienced another one named the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019. It has significantly impacted human life in various aspects. In response to this, not only countries but all actors in international relations take part including the World Health Organization (WHO). One of its moves was the formation of the ACT-Accelerator, which includes four pillars of COVID-19 management namely diagnostics, therapeutics, vaccines, and the health systems and response connector. In this case, WHO formed a multilateral cooperation called COVID-19 Global Access (COVAX). This collaboration incorporates several international organizations and agencies; namely, GAVI, CEPI, and UNICEF. COVAX aims to provide equal access for countries that need vaccines, especially developing countries. This study examines the global health diplomacy strategy carried out by the World Health Organization in procuring world vaccines through the COVAX program in Indonesia. The authors used a descriptive qualitative method with secondary sources to analyze the phenomenon in this study. Based on the conceptual framework, namely international organizations and global health diplomacy, the authors analyze the strategies pursued by WHO in realizing global health in Indonesia. This study found that the efforts of WHO global health diplomacy through the COVAX program to Indonesia include conducting vaccine research and development and raising funds and negotiating vaccine purchases. This study finally argues that the COVAX program serves as a concrete example of how WHO’s global health diplomacy strategies are implemented, offering a detailed case study of international cooperation in vaccine distribution.
