BACKGROUND: In the rehabilitation of patients with complete loss of teeth, an important aspect is the study of their quality of life (QL) as an indicator reflecting the effectiveness of treatment.
AIM: Use latent variables and control their magnitude to control the development or suppression of symptoms in patients.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Within the framework of the modern theory of latent variables, the study examined the QL of patients with complete loss of teeth at various stages of dental orthopedic treatment.
RESULTS: The average relative error of the forward and reverse conversion of the polytomic score indicators, i.e., latent variables, was 3.69%, which indicated a very high accuracy of measurements of latent variables. The QL estimates obtained by different methods were in good agreement with each other, and the Pearson correlation coefficients were 0.991, 0.999, and 0.982 before and after prosthetics. The characteristic curves of the questionnaire items were close to the experimental score indicators (p 0.05). The parameters of the latent variables at various stages of treatment were calculated using the KolmogorovSmirnov criterion, which showed that their distributions were normal, and the medians moves in different directions, which corresponded to an increase in QoL during treatment and adaptation. The interpretation of latent variables is proposed: i is the resistance (reserve level) of the body of the i-th patient before prosthetics or the effectiveness of treatment and adaptation after prosthetics; j presents the severity and intensity of pathogenic factors in the development of the j-th symptom, and Pij is the probability of the removal of the j-th symptom in the i-th patient.
CONCLUSION: It has been established that by identifying and measuring latent variables, as well as controlling their magnitude, we can control the level of development or suppression of symptoms in patients.

Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: Search for new effective means of preventing inflammatory complications in the state of peri-implant tissues is relevant; in particular, products from coniferous greens produced by the Solagift company (Tomsk) are of interest. The bioeffective cell juice of the Siberian fir, the 100% carbon dioxide extract of Siberian fir (water fraction), stands out among them. Fir cell juice is recommended for enhancing immunity, preventing inflammatory diseases of the upper respiratory tract, and treating several pathological conditions. Fir juice contains vitamin C, carotene, polyphenolic compounds, flavonoids, iron, magnesium, copper, manganese, zinc, and maltoliron chelate complex (a natural antioxidant).
AIM: This microbiological study aimed to examine the sensitivity of periodontal pathogens to bioeffective cell juice of Siberian fir of various concentrations.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: A number of periodontal pathogens were cultivated in the presence of bioeffective Siberian fir cell juice in the following proportions: 1:5, 1:10, and 1:15. Incubation for up to 3 days was conducted in a reverse-spinner RTS-1 bioreactor (BioSan, Latvia) with automatic analysis of the optical density (OD) of the culture at a wavelength () of 850 nm. OD was measured in McFarland units (mcf). The assessment of culture growth control was based on the analysis of the growth phases of periodontal pathogens: adaptive (lag phase), exponential (log phase), stationary, and withering away. The following clinical isolates of microorganisms were used: Streptococcus constellatus, Staphylococcus aureus, Fusobacterium nucleatum, and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans.
RESULTS: The microbiological study of the sensitivity of periodontal pathogens (such as S. constellatus, S. aureus, F. nucleatum, and A. actinomycetemcomitans) to bioeffective cell juice of Siberian fir showed a growth slowdown of microorganisms in the presence of fir juice and inhibition of the growth of a culture of periodontal pathogens when co-cultivated with fir juice. A significant decrease in the OD of cultures of all studied periodontal pathogens was observed at a fir juice concentration of 1:10 and 1: 5. At these concentrations, there was no growth of S. aureus culture, and the degree of decrease in the average OD of other periodontal pathogens reached 27.1% (A. actinomycetemcomitans), 31.8% (F. nucleatum), and 33.6% (S. constellatus).

Published: July 2022

The 2021 Ms 6.4 Yangbi earthquake, Yunnan, China, was recorded by the Dali Global Positioning System (GPS) network comprising 37 permanent stations within 100 km of the epicenter. All of these GPS stations recorded 1 Hz data, and 12 of them also recorded 5 Hz data. Using sophisticated data processing strategies, especially the method to overcome ionospheric and multipath errors, near-field waveforms of epoch-by-epoch displacement of all of the GPS stations within an epicentral distance of ∼50 km were derived from high-rate GPS observations with a root mean square error of 3.8, 4.2, and 8.2 mm for the east–west, north–south, and up components, respectively. The peak ground displacement of up to 14 cm in the horizontal direction and 4.2 cm in the vertical direction and the largest coseismic displacement of 3.1 cm in the horizontal direction and 3.2 cm in the vertical direction were observed for the stations within 6–9 km of the epicenter. The waveforms, with dominant periods between 7 and 10 s, present a systematic change in shape as a function of distance from the source, which demonstrates that the high-rate GPS observations can provide reliable relative-displacement response spectra at the periods needed in the design of large structures for resisting strong earthquakes. Comparisons of the GPS displacement time series at 1, 2.5, and 5 Hz suggest that 5 Hz data are able to capture strong ground information that are of interest to both earthquake seismologists and engineers. We conclude that the displacement waveforms and motion trajectories from high-rate GPS observations provide unique additional information of the near-field strong ground motion that is valuable to seismologists in unraveling the dynamic process of fault rupture and to engineers for designing large structures with very long period response.

Authors: İSTANBULLUOĞLU Ahmet , BAŞER İsmet , MORAY Samet
Published: July 2022

Millets are indigenous to many parts of the world and are more widely grown, especially in areas where water is limited. The most widely grown millet type is sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.). A field study was carried out to determine the effect of deficit irrigation regimes on grain yield and seasonal evapotranspiration of proso millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) in the Thrace Region of Turkey. The field trials were conducted on a loam Entisol soil, on Öğretmenoğlu and Beydarı, the most popular varieties in the research area. In the study, the split plots experimental design with three replications was used. Eight different irrigation issues are considered, including combinations of the vegetative (V), flowering (F) and grain formation (Y) phases of the plant (including dry conditions, NoI). Results showed that proso millet was significantly affected by water stress during the sensitive flowering stage. The highest grain yield was obtained with 4.09 t ha-1 from Öğretmenoğlu and 4.03 t ha-1 from Beydarı, which was rinsed (VFY) in all development periods. Seasonal irrigation water use and evapotranspiration of the irrigated (VFY) in all development periods were 318 and 579 mm, respectively, for the non-stressed treatment. The seasonal water yield function was calculated as Y = 0.4087 ET + 144.03, and the seasonal yield-water response factor value was calculated as 0.57'.

Authors: Estri Siti Aminah Tri Susila , Khotibudin Muhammad
Published: July 2022

Background: Scabies is a Sarcoptes scabei infection of the human epidermis. This disease is often found in patients who live in groups, such as in boarding schools. Although the risk factors, knowledge, and treatment of scabies have been known, the incidence of scabies in Islamic boarding schools is still high. There is a perception that scabies is a common disease among students. Scabies can interfere with the quality of life or activities of sufferers.Objective: Therefore, it is necessary to study the perceptions of managers and residents of boarding schools regarding the management and incidence of scabies in Islamic boarding schools.Methods:  This research was conducted in an Islamic boarding school using a qualitative method. The information was obtained from 40 participants: school leaders or managers, teachers, non-educational staff, students, and parents of students in boarding schools.  Information was collected using a google form, then coded and grouped based on the item. This study has been declared ethically feasible by the research ethics committee.Result: The result showed that participants considered scabies a skin disease that could interfere with daily activities. It could be transmitted through direct contact, using toiletries or clothes together.  School leadership policies, based on good knowledge, followed by the appropriate behavior of all school residents, had an important role in the incidence of scabies in boarding schools.Conclusion: The participants had explained similar perceptions about scabies and their management in their boarding school. Participants agreed that scabies could be eliminated by jointly implementing healthy lifestyle behaviors based on Islamic values. The researchers suggest continuing and improving activities and management of students with scabies so that the school can be free from scabies. Second, further research can be carried out in schools with a high incidence of scabies so that it can be compared and find the basic problem about why there is still a high incidence of scabies in boarding schools in Indonesia.

Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic remains a global issue, including in Indonesia. Handwashing using soap can reduce the viral load of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and prevent coinfection, which can worsen symptoms in COVID-19 patients. This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge, attitudes, and handwashing behavior to the severity of COVID-19. Research using a cross-sectional and retrospective approach was conducted from July to December 2020 in Bengkulu Province. About 107 respondents had been confirmed positive for Covid-19 with the rt-PCR test, aged 17-60 years, and were willing to participate. Knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors were assessed using validated questionnaires and data on the severity of disease obtained from epidemiological forms. The collected data were then analyzed using chi-square statistical tests. 107 respondents had already filled in the questionnaires. The Chi-square test showed no significant association between knowledge (p 0.081), attitude (p 0.216), and behavior (p 0.136) of handwashing to the severity of COVID-19. A good level of knowledge, attitudes and behaviors about handwashing using soap did not adequately affect the severity of covid-19 patients. The good level of knowledge, attitude, and practice of HWUS were not significant enough to affect the severity of the COVID-19 disease.

Authors: Afifi Subhan , Santoso Harry Budi , Hasani Lintang Matahari
Published: July 2022

Prophetic communication (PC) is an Islamic perspective with which to view everyday communication phenomena. While there are currently many negative aspects to the use of social media and the internet, online learning is highly useful for supporting the PC learning process—especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Before the current pandemic, online learning was typically conducted in a blended manner with face-to-face meetings. However, this shifted during the pandemic, and PC learning was undertaken entirely online. Since the students themselves are one of the success factors of online learning implementation, it is important to examine the students’ self-regulated learning skills in an online PC course throughout the semester. Quantitative and qualitative data were gathered from four classes. Data analyses were also conducted to address the research aim. The findings revealed that, overall, students apply self-regulated online learning skills. However, improvement and facilitation are still needed to enhance evaluation skills. From the qualitative data gathered, we constructed and categorized several themes into positive learning experiences, challenges, online learning strategies, and suggestions with which to improve online class management.

This article presents the segmentation of the brain tumors in the MRI images by using the optimal morphology thresholding methods. The number of patients with brain diseases is increased. Therefore, the needs for MRI are increased. Accordingly, the accurate and quick segmentation and identification methods for the brain tumors are really necessary. These also include planning and diagnosis tools for the automatic segmentation of the brain tumors in the MRI images. The optimal morphology thresholding methods are new methods that can automatically solve problems and diagnose the diseases. These consist of the RGB to Grayscale conversion process, the image quality improvement process and the optimum thresholding process, respectively. By testing the methods with the MRI images, it was found that the proposed methods could automatically segment the brain tumors in the MRI images with the shapes similar to that from the public databases. The highest absolute error was 3.96%, and the accuracy was 98.00% as compared to the other methods.

Authors: Kuznetsova A. A. , Saleev V. A.
Published: July 2022

The article discusses the production of prompt isolated photons with large transverse momenta at the LHC at energies s = 8 and 13 TeV in the parton Reggeization approach, which is based on the factorizationtheorem for hard processes at high energies and the effective theory of Reggeized gluons and quarks by L.N. Lipatov. Unintegrated parton distributions in the parton Reggeization approach were obtained in the modified KimberMartinRyskin model proposed earlier by the authors of the article. In numerical calculations, only the contribution of the main parton process, R +Q( Q) + q(q), is taken into account,since the contribution of other processes does not exceed 510 %. The calculation results are compared with the predictions obtained in the collinear parton model. Good agreement of calculations in the partonReggeization approach with experimental data obtained by the ATLAS collaboration is shown.

Published: July 2022

Imagery classification has long been used in analyzing remote sensing data. The use of the classification algorithm model can affect the results in interpreting benthic habitats in shallow water. This study aimed to determine the best classification algorithm model for mapping benthic habitat cover through Sentinel-2 satellite imagery. Three algorithm models were employed: Maximum Likelihood Classification (MLC), Minimum Distance Classification (MDC), and Mahalanobis Distance Classification (MaDC). The benthic habitat types were extracted using Lyzenga correction, giving three categories: coral, seagrass, and sand. The results showed that the application algorithm models of the MLC, MDC, and MaDC on the benthic habitat mapping resulted in an accuracy value that was not significantly different at the 95% confidence interval. However, of the three algorithms used, the MaDC algorithm provides the best results in overall accuracy (78.35%) than the MDC (74.45%) and the MLC (74.33%). It shows that the MaDC algorithm can be referred to as the mapped benthic habitat cover in the Kei Islands. However, this algorithm model needs to be continuously studied and compared to other models in other locations.   Keywords: benthic, habitat classification, Kei Islands, sentinel

As a densely populated industrial area in Bogor Regency, an urban farming program has been initiated in Gunung Putri District. The right strategy to develop and implement urban farming needs to be known so that this program is successful and sustain in Bogor Regency. This study aims to (1) identify aspects of preparation for urban farming development in Gunung Putri District, Bogor Regency; (2) analyze people's perceptions of its development; (3) and formulate its development strategy through qualitative descriptive methods, Likert scale, and SWOT analysis. Based on technical, social, institutional, commercial, financial, and environmental aspects, urban farming activities in this location are potential to be developed to support food adequacy and contribute to household income. The society has an excellent perception of the benefits. However, the community also saw obstacles, including the availability of respondents' time, usable land, capital, and supportive institutions. Most respondents also perceived that the currently limited information related to marketing has the potential to hinder the successful implementation of the urban farming. Nevertheless, the community's desire to participate is quite high, and they will participate if the program is implemented. The highest strength factor in developing urban farming businesses in Gunung Putri District is the public knowledge about cultivation techniques, while the most significant weakness is the marketing of its products. An enormous opportunity is to establish networking with various parties, and the biggest threat is the trend of urban life that does not focus on the agricultural sector.

Published: July 2022

This study aims to influence the use of monosodium glutamate (MSG) on soil chemical properties and the growth and yield of green spinach (Amaranthus gangeticus) on Silabukan soil. Spinach is grown in polybags with six types of MSG treatment: without MSG (control), with 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 g, with three repetitions. This study used a Complete Randomized Design, and the differences between treatments were analyzed using the least significant difference and Duncan methods. Observations were made under the auspices of rain at the Faculty of Agriculture Lestari, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, for four weeks. The parameters recorded are the components of plant growth, namely the circumference of the trunk, the number of leaves, the height of the tree, as well as the yield components in the form of wet weights and dry weights. The parameters of soil properties selected are soil pH, electrical conductivity, salinity, cation exchange rate, available-phosphorus, carbon content, hydrogen content, and aluminum exchange, taken before and after planting. Based on the analysis, the use of MSG negatively affects the growth and yield of green spinach. On the other hand, the control treatment showed very high growth and yield. Therefore, using MSG is not recommended to increase the growth and yield of green spinach grown in Silabukan soil. However, MSG increases the soil's pH, electrical conductivity, and salinity.

The favorable outcome of subsequent pregnancy in a patient with a history of obstetric atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome
Authors: Prokopenko Elena I. , Guryeva Vera M.
Published: July 2022

Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a severe life-threatening disease associated with uncontrolled activation of alternative complement pathway. Obstetric aHUS, which develops in pregnant women and puerperas, is characterized by a particularly severe course with multiple organ failure, high death risk and end-stage renal disease. The prognosis of patients with obstetric aHUS has changed dramatically after the introduction of eculizumab, a monoclonal antibody to C5 complement component, into clinical practice. With timely initiation of the complement blocking therapy, the patients would not only survive, but also completely restore the function of the affected organs. Naturally, the question arises on the possibility of repeated pregnancies in women with previous obstetric aHUS and on the strategy of pregnancy management.
The paper describes a clinical case of successful treatment with eculizumab for obstetric aHUS in the third trimester of the first pregnancy in a young and previously healthy woman, and the management of her second pregnancy. A 23-year old woman at 35-36 weeks of her first pregnancy developed the clinical picture of obstetric thrombotic microangiopathy, which was interpreted as a manifestation of severe preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome. However, after an emergency surgical delivery, the patient's condition continued to deteriorate despite the plasma exchange procedure. After exclusion of the other causes of thrombotic microangiopathy, aHUS was diagnosed and treatment with eculizumab was started, which resulted in complete recovery. No aHUS-associated mutations were identified. The complement inhibitor treatment was discontinued after 12 months. Four years after the first birth, the patient had a second pregnancy after preconception planning. During pregnancy, the patient was closely monitored for a timely identification of potential complications and had prevention of placental complications with acetylsalicylic acid and low molecular weight heparin. No aHUS recurrence and/or other complications were observed, and the patient did not require treatment with eculizumab during pregnancy. Elective caesarean section was performed at 39 week of gestation. A healthy boy was born with a bodyweight of 3370 g, a height of 50 cm, and Apgar score 8-9.
In women with obstetric aHUS history, a favorable outcome of repeated pregnancies is possible, in some cases even without any prophylactic use of complement-blocking therapy, provided that with complete remission of aHUS has been achieved, with close monitoring during gestation and prevention of placenta-associated complications.

Wstęp

Zespoły bólowe kręgosłupa są ogromnym problemem zdrowotnym. Dotyczą najczęściej osób pomiędzy 40 i 60 rokiem życia, ale zdarza się, że występują jeszcze przed 30 rokiem życia. U pielęgniarek są powszechnym zjawiskiem. Etiologia tych dolegliwości jest wieloczynnikowa. Zasadniczą przyczyną są obciążenia fizyczne kręgosłupa: dźwiganie, wymuszona postawa ciała oraz nadwaga. Istotną rolę odgrywają też predyspozycje neurofizjologiczne człowieka i uwarunkowania społeczne. W pracy podjęto próbę ustalenia, czy osoby badane znają przyczynę swoich dolegliwości, wiedzą, jaka powinna być profilaktyka tego schorzenia, znają zasady ergonomii oraz działania prozdrowotne w tym zakresie.

Materiał i metody

W pracy określono częstość występowania zespołów bólowych kręgosłupa u pielęgniarek w dwóch szpitalach na Podkarpaciu. Posłużono się autorską ankietą i badaniami antropometrycznymi.

Wyniki

Ból występował u 89% badanych, a zasadniczą przyczyną dolegliwości były obciążenia fizyczne, nadwaga i niska aktywność fizyczna. Osoby badane znały zasady ergonomii, ale nie wykorzystywały ich w pracy, a staż nie miał tu statystycznie istotnego znaczenia. Odnotowano brak szkoleń i odpowiedniego sprzętu. Jedynie u 13% badanych czynniki stresowe miały wpływ na dolegliwości bólowe kręgosłupa.

Wnioski

Ból pleców występuje u 90% badanych w szpitalach na Podkarpaciu i ma cechy choroby zawodowej. Respondenci znają zasady ergonomii i wyrażają chęć pogłębienia swojej wiedzy na ten temat. Wiedzę tę należy uzupełnić o podstawowe wiadomości z zakresu aktywnej fizjoterapii i neurofizjologii ze względu na rolę czynników psychologicznych w leczeniu przewlekłego bólu.
​Botanicals for Protection of Mungbean against Callosobruchus maculatus during Storage
Authors: Kooner Rubaljot , Sharma D.K. , Suri K.S.
Published: July 2022

Background: The mungbean/green gram is one of the major grain legume crops native to the Indian subcontinent, which was found damaged extensively by the pulse beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus during storage. Moreover, insect damage also causes chemical constituents of seeds leading to alteration in flavor, nutritive value, marketability and acceptability of the stored seeds. Therefore, present investigation was focused on evaluating bioefficacy of botanicals in the protection of green gram grains from C. maculatus and also the changes on biochemical properties during six months of storage. Methods: During the experimentation, green gram seeds were treated with selected botanicals in the form of oils, powders and their aqueous extracts and the effects on pulse beetle in terms of adult emergence and seed damage was recorded up to six months storage. Changes in biochemical constituents of the stored grains were also recorded . Result: The study revealed significantly lesser number of exit holes/100 grains (1.33 to 13.33), adult emergence (4.33 to 15.00 no.), weight loss (0.92 to 3.10%) and grain damage (1.40 to 5.40%) in neem oil @ 3.0% after one month interval. The crude protein values did not vary significantly among the treatments, but the alcoholic acidity varied between 0.30 - 0.94%. The uric acid content in grains was increased with insect population. Significantly lower values of free fatty acids were recorded in the standard check which was at par with all the concentrations of neem oil, Karanj oil and 3.0% mustard oil.

Published: July 2022

Background: Pulses are an integral part of many diets across the globe and they have great potential to improve human health, conserve our soils, protect the environment and contribute to global food security. The United Nations declared 2016 as the “International Year of Pulses” (IYP) to heighten public awareness of the nutritional benefits of pulses as part of sustainable food production aimed at food security and nutrition. India is the largest producer, consumer, and importer of pulses in the world. Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] is one of the major grain legume (pulse) crops of the tropics and subtropics, endowed with several unique characteristics. It finds an important place in the farming system adopted by smallholder farmers in a large number of developing countries. Although globally pigeon pea ranks sixth in area and production in comparison to other grain legumes such as beans, peas and chickpeas, it is used in more diversified ways than others.
Methods: A field experiment was conducted at Mahatma Gandhi Chitrakoot Gramodaya Vishwavidyalaya, Chitrakoot, Satna (M.P.) during the K season of 2015-16 to evaluate the effect of organic manures and inorganic fertilizers on yield attributes, yield and economics of pigeon pea. Treatment comprised three organic manures (FYM @ 10 t/ha, Nadep compost @ 10 t/ha and vermin-compost @ 5 t/ha) and three levels of inorganic fertilizers (control, 100 and 50% RDF). Thus treatments were tested in a 3-replicated split plot design.
Result: The result revealed that the number of pods/plant, seeds/pod, pod length, and seed yield/plant were statistically similar in all tested organic manures but the application of vermicompost @ 5 t/ha, significantly improved the 100- seed weight. It also produced a significantly maximum seed yield of 1337 kg/ha, stover yield of 6220 kg/ha and net returns of Rs. 51727/ha. Control and use of 50 and 100% RDF in organic fertilizers gave statistically equal yield attributes (pods/plant, pod length and seeds/pod), seed yield, stover yield, gross returns and net returns of pigeon pea. The seed weight/plant and 100 seed weight were maximum under 100% RDF than control.

Background: The recovery growth of soybean after environmental stress, especially shade stress, is essential for soybean to alleviate the yield loss caused by shade. Although the mechanism of recovery growth on leaves has been intensely researched, little is known about the mechanism of compensatory growth on soybean nodule formation. Methods: This study aimed to investigate the effect of recovery growth after shade on soybean nodule formation and the distribution of carbohydrates in root nodules. Four shade treatments, including vegetative period shade (VS), reproductive period shade (RS), total growth period shade (TS) and no shade as control (CK), were applied on monoculture soybean by using a black mesh shading net with light transmittance of 50%. Result: The aboveground dry weight, nodule number and weight and grains yield were lowest in TS and those values in VS were higher than in RS. Compared with RS, VS increased the nodule weight by 75.6% and the sucrose and starch content by 19.3% and 15.6%, respectively. We suggested that, compared with RS, VS improved the compensation growth of soybean and promoted the carbohydrate distribution into nodules, ultimately reducing the negative effect on soybean nodule formation and yield production.

ABSTRACT
 
This study aimed to conduct the characterization and molecular detection of the pathogenicity and antibiotic-resistance genes in Vibrio parahaemolyticus, as the causative agent of vibriosis in Pacific white shrimp. The V. parahaemolyticus isolates were collected from the shrimp’s hepatopancreas, before biochemical test and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene confirmation. The hemolysis test and PCR were applied to detect the presence of virulence genes, namely toxR, thermostable direct haemolysin (tdh), and tdh-related haemolysin (trh). The Kirby-Bauer method was used for characterizing the resistance patterns against ampicillin (AMP), tetracycline (TET), cyprofloxacin (CIP), enrofloxacin (ENR), and chloramphenicol (CHL). The biochemical tests and PCR-16SrRNA gene sequencing confirmed that 12 isolates belonged to V. parahaemolyticus that were further verified by amplification of the toxR gene in 382 bp (100% of the isolates). The alpha hemolysis activity was also confirmed by the amplicon of 199 bp in all isolates. All V. parahaemolyticus isolates showed their resistance to AMP and 42% of the isolates were TET-resistant. However, no resistance was shown to CIP, ENR, and CHL. The PCR-based analysis resulted a detectable resistance gene of ampC (42% of the isolates) and tetB (83% of the isolates).

Grounding Inside/Out Professional Identity Formation by Developing Wholehearted Lawyers with Therapeutic Intent
Authors: Whelan Jennifer
Published: July 2022

Professional identity formation of law students ideally encompasses both development of the necessary attributes of lawyers as well as a robust philosophy to inform the character of their engagement with the justice system throughout their career. Susan Brooks’ Wholehearted Lawyering teaching principles and practices provide a sound basis for developing the complex core personal, interpersonal, and relational skills necessary for law students and lawyers to maximise constructive interactions within the legal system. Vulnerability Theory and Therapeutic Jurisprudence too, provide sound principles to guide students’ and lawyers’ purposeful engagement with the legal system, particularly to facilitate greater access to justice through resilience-building and therapeutic contributions and impacts. This article proposes an Inside/Out pedagogy that develops students’ awareness of these necessary personal and interpersonal attributes (the Inside) and that provides a framework for purposive engagement grounded in improving access to justice (the Out). This pedagogy systematically embeds both Brooks’ Wholehearted Lawyering scholarship to develop students’ core professional attributes, and principles drawn from Vulnerability Theory and Therapeutic Jurisprudence to stimulate students to crystallise their own purpose as lawyers. The article then examines the development and application of this pedagogy in an Australian legal clinic established in 2020 at Western Sydney University in New South Wales, Australia.
CLEO: Clinical Legal Education Organisation
Authors: Blackburn Lucy
Published: July 2022

In order to help law clinics navigate the new regulations, a small working group from CLEO have put together this draft guide to the QWE. In developing this guide, we recognise that the new routes to qualification are controversial and we are not endorsing or expressing approval for these routes to qualification. As an organisation, CLEO is committed to developing clinical legal education as a rich and innovative method for teaching law. Legal education, in particular for undergraduates, is about much more than qualifying as a solicitor and indeed many law graduates do not go onto qualify as legal professionals. However, we are aware that many of our members will be offering qualifying work experience, or may be asked by senior management to offer qualifying work experience and we therefore want to develop guidance for our members to assist with navigating the new regulations. This guidance is to assist university law clinics only, when encountering a student’s claim for QWE.

Perilaku seksual pranikah merupakan salah satu permasalahan yang penuh risiko dan sangat rawan terjadi pada proses perkembangan seorang remaja. Transisi antara sosial dan budaya dapat mengakibatkan remaja rentan terpengaruh dampak negatif. Menurut data SDKI 2017 menyatakan bahwa perilaku seksual pranikah terjadi pada 8% remaja pria dan 2% remaja wanita. Tujuan penelitian menganalisis hubungan antara faktor predisposing (meliputi usia, tingkat pendidikan, pengetahuan, dan status berpacaran), faktor enabling (meliputi paparan media), dan faktor reinforcing (meliputi pengaruh teman sebaya dan peran orang tua) dengan perilaku seksual pranikah pada remaja pria di Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan data SDKI tahun 2017 dengan desain Cross Sectional. Populasi penelitian yang digunakan adalah remaja pria usia 15-24 tahun di Indonesia. Jumlah sampel sebanyak 12.935 remaja pria. Analisis Bivariat menggunakan Chi-Square dan analisis multivariat menggunakan regresi logistik. Perilaku seksual pranikah pada remaja pria sebanyak 51,1%. Faktor yang berhubungan dengan perilaku seksual pranikah pada remaja pria yaitu usia (OR 4,0; CI 3,68-4,30), tingkat pendidikan (OR 1,8; CI 1,11-2,94), status pernah berpacaran (OR 494,6; CI 235,26-1039,70), dan pengetahuan (OR 3,0; CI 2,76-3,34). Selain itu, kepemilikan smartphone (OR 2,1; CI 1,92-2,31), akses terhadap internet (OR 2,3; CI 2,11-2,60), teman sebaya yang berpengaruh negatif (OR 7,6; CI 6,84-8,46), dan peran orang tua juga berpengaruh terhadap perilaku seksual pranikah pada remaja (OR 1,1; CI 1,01-1,17). Faktor yang paling kuat dalam mempengaruhi perilaku seksual pranikah remaja pria adalah status berpacaran (OR 362,5; CI 171,73-756,34) dapat diartikan remaja pria dengan  status sedang atau pernah berpacaran berisiko 362 kali untuk berperilaku seksual pranikah. Untuk itu perlu adanya peningkatan ilmu pengetahuan mengenai kesehatan reproduksi remaja serta dampak buruk perilaku seksual pranikah.
Acoustethics: Careful Approaches to Recorded Sounds and Their Second Life
Authors: Smolicki Jacek
Published: July 2022

This article attempts to rethink some problematic ways and motivations for engaging in (field) recording and working with recorded sounds. Interweaving reflections from my long-term soundscape archiving initiative undertaken in Stockholm, with projects of others aiming at preserving cultures through sound, I reflect upon ethical challenges that emerge against the prospect of second and following lives and deaths of recordings. Does the second life of a recorded event risk replicating power relationships that the original recording was enmeshed in? What can be gained and, more importantly, lost while conceiving a second life of a recorded sound? This article intends to open up an array of such questions which, as I suggest, need to be taken into consideration already before and during the recording process. As a discursive tool that does not resolve those concerns but instead creates space for critical reflection, I propose a concept of acoustethics. In a nutshell, acoustethics, as this portmanteau of acoustics and ethics suggests, is an ethically informed approach to the world’s soundscapes. I argue that any kind of engagement with the auditory world through recording technologies requires careful consideration of multiple agencies contributing to the recorded sound. As a reflective attitude to the sonic realm, acoustethics acknowledges that any recording takes place within already existing fields of relations and simultaneously generates new links between subjects, histories, worldviews, technologies, and other forces. In other words, any recording is intrinsically field recording.
Analysis of the subjective assessment of the quality of life of labor force of the urban population of the Sverdlovsk region (active internet users) aged 16-60 years
Authors: Goryachkina S. Y.
Published: July 2022

The quality of life of the urban population of the working-age population (Internet users) of the Sverdlovsk region aged 16 to 60 years was studied using the WHOQOL-BREF standardized questionnaire (Russian version) and the author's questionnaire in June-July 2021. The study showed that the average subjective final assessment of quality of life was 69.1% (standard deviation 10.3%). The quality of life is closely related to the commitment to a healthy lifestyle. Adherence to a healthy lifestyle, in turn, depends on age. The indicator for assessing the quality of life of the population is comparable to the regional ones obtained in other studies.
