A General Approach for Running Python Codes in OpenFOAM Using an Embedded PYBIND11 Python Interpreter
Authors: RODRIGUEZ LUZARDO SIMON ANTONIO , Cardiff Philip
Published: December 2022

As the overlap between traditional computational mechanics and machine learning grows, there is an increasing demand for straight-forward approaches to interface Python-based procedures with C++-based OpenFOAM. This article introduces one such general methodology, allowing the execution of Python code directly within an OpenFOAM solver without the need for Python code translation. The proposed approach is based on the lightweight library pybind11, where OpenFOAM data is transferred to an embedded Python interpreter for manipulation, and results are returned as needed. Following a review of related approaches, the article describes the approach, with a particular focus on data transfer between Python and OpenFOAM, executing Python scripts and functions, and practical details about the implementation in OpenFOAM. Three complementary test cases are presented to highlight the functionality and demonstrate the effect of different data transfer approaches: a Python-based velocity profile boundary condition; a Python-based solver for prototyping; and a machine learning mechanical constitutive law class for solids4foam which performs field calculations.

Published: December 2022

This research focuses on three discussion objectives: First, how to create a rabbani environment in a still strong society with local culture and customs. Second, activities that can help parents educate their children according to Islamic law. Third, how to instill a love for the Al-Qur’an and religion in children. Community service aims to create human resources that benefit the nation and religion. The community service in the village of Alam Panjang uses an alternative participatory action research (PAR) approach. Data is obtained by making observations in cycles where it is hoped there will be changes at each stage. The expected changes are supported by providing programs such as tahfiz and tahsin guidance, learning Arabic, spiritual cleansing, and constructive motivations. From the implementation of actions in the form of activity programs, satisfactory results were obtained. These results are an increase in willingness and achievements in tahfiz, tahsin, learning Arabic, and spiritual cleansing. Community service positively impacts people's mindset, which is no longer limited to things that naturally exist but makes them open to advancing human resources. This study clearly shows that the research conducted through this community service activity has improved the quality and human resources in the village of Alam Panjang.

Objective. The destructive activities of man have become obvious in the Northern parts of Nigeria where a terrorist group known as Boko Haram  and Fulani herdsmen  have engaged in destructive activities like burning down of churches, schools as well as destruction of lives and property in some of the higher institutions in Northern Nigeria. Libraries and their resources have also been affected at some points.Method. Based on the expository nature of this study the use of qualitative and quantitative research methodology was employed. The population of the study consists of all the librarians and library officer categories of personnel of the public libraries in North-west Nigeria. However, only 74 of these personnel that were accessible at the headquarters of the six public libraries were selected for the study by means of purposive sampling techniques. This sampling method is largely limited to exploratory research.Results. The reliability is as follows: Disaster Incident Experience= .551; Disaster Risk Management=.603; Disaster Management Facilities/equip=.775; Staff opinion= .533. Based on the above mentioned, it is noteworthy to say that it is only Disaster management facility that has higher score of reliability while others are satisfactorily reliable. Conclusions. It will therefore be proper for these libraries to be conscious of the adverse effects of disaster The overall findings have demonstrated that public libraries in the North have experienced disasters at one point in time or the other. However, they are not quite prepared to manage disaster as seen in the responses.
Paul Ricœur and the Idea of Second Naivety: Origins, Analogues, Applications
Authors: Buzási Áron
Published: December 2022

Despite the fact that it is only rarely mentioned by Ricœur, the concept of second (or post-critical) naivety seems to express an idea that is central to his hermeneutical attitude, which is why it deserves more attention. This idea can be broadly understood as the aspiration to arrive at a mediated and post-critical (self-)understanding through “detours” provided by different critical methods such as psychoanalysis or structuralism. My article consists of three parts: first, I examine the origins of the notion of second naivety, drawing attention to the fact that both Ricœur and his precursors used the term in connection with religious symbols and faith. Then, by comparing it to analogous ideas in Ricœur’s works, I argue that the concept of second naivety can be extended to interpretation in general. Finally, I explore the possibility of a second naivety after those particular critical methods.

Authors: Rajagopal Selvi , Harper Kaitlyn , Holzhauer Katherine , Kumra Tina
Published: December 2022

Positive youth development (PYD) is a strengths-based approach to youth programming which has been tested with success in largely higher income settings with mostly White youth. This study aims to identify the extent to which organizations who work in an urban context serving predominately African American youth incorporate PYD principles into their work. Organizations located in Baltimore, Maryland working with youth ages 14–24 were recruited for participation. In-depth interviews were conducted with organization leaders in this qualitative study. Thematic analysis using a deductive approach identified common themes and activities across organizations that aligned with PYD elements. All 17 youth-facing organizations interviewed described organic use of PYD principles through program activities regardless of prior knowledge of the PYD framework. Organizations prioritized activities to create an empowering environment for youth, build on youth assets and agency. The PYD principle of contribution was less explicitly incorporated into program activities, however organization leaders reported behavioral observations of youth exemplifying contribution. This real-world study demonstrates widespread utilization of PYD principles across a range of youth engagement activities in Baltimore. The results of this study provide insight on how organizations working with youth of color may naturally infuse elements of PYD into their programs. Formal training and evaluation support for these organizations may help achieve positive youth outcomes through application of PYD frameworks.
Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis and the Osteological Paradox
Authors: Bombak Andrea
Published: December 2022

Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is of interest to bioarchaeologists due to its strong associations with male sex, increased age, and potential associations with obesity, related metabolic conditions, and high social status. However, these possible associations and DISH’s contested status as a pathologic condition raise issues concerning how DISH must be viewed through the lens of the osteological paradox, particularly relating to selective mortality and heterogeneity of frailty. This article explores these concerns by examining recent clinical and bioarchaeological research on the symptomatology, etiology, and epidemiology of DISH and examines how bioarchaeologists should approach the paleoepidemiological interpretation of DISH.
Mothering from Afar: Conceptualizing Transnational Motherhood
Authors: Millman Heather
Published: December 2022

This paper explores the social, economic, and familial implications of transnational motherhood as experienced by women who leave their families behind in order to work internationally. In addressing the personal, sociocultural, and economic contexts which both motivate mothers to migrate for work, and emerge from their decision to do so, this article argues that motherhood is a relational concept, contingent upon social, cultural, and personal perceptions. In particular, it focuses on the experiences of transnational mothers in how they reveal the social, cultural, political, and economic structurings of the concept of motherhood. In doing so, this paper illustrates how motherhood is also a flexible concept, transforming based upon the particular situations within which mothers find themselves.
Contemporary Mediumship: Anthropological Perspectives on the Long Island Medium
Authors: Darghawth Rasha
Published: December 2022

Bereavement following the loss of a loved one has and always will remain a panhuman constant. An increasingly popularized form of healing is asserting itself in the form of mediumship. This paper seeks to investigate contemporary forms of mediumship in North America through critical analysis of the TLC show, Long Island Medium. Rather than questioning the validity of such practices, it instead strives to deconstruct the symbolic healing system surrounding the medium. This healing system serves to assure cultural constructions of an afterlife while acknowledging the presence and ability of spirits gaining agency through after-death communication. Furthermore, this paper seeks to assert that mediumship can in fact draw the bereaved from the liminal state of mourning into active life once again.
The Creation of Female Origin Myth: A Critical Analysis of Gender in the Archaeology of Neolithic China
Authors: Chen Shu Xin
Published: December 2022

This essay explores and critiques the creation of female origin myths in the archaeology of Neolithic China. The first example is the debate surrounding the gender relations in the Yangshao culture. The second half of the paper focuses on whether or not the possible goddess worship in the Hongshan culture can shed light on the understanding of women. It concludes by stating this kind of gynocentric archaeology does not provide an accurate picture of gender in Neolithic China, or propel the feminist agenda.
Keeping CRM Archaeology Relevant: Presenting an Archaeology of Children and Childhood in the Past
Authors: Mather Katelyn
Published: December 2022

The industry of cultural resource management (CRM) has been criticized for its failure to communicate research results publicly, and to make contributions on a local and global scale. In this paper, I suggest that school-based archaeology programs – either through mock archaeological digs, participation in actual excavations, or the use of specific material culture types to tell stories about the past – provide a means to make CRM archaeology relevant to a wider audience. I also propose that an effective teaching tool about local archaeology would be to create a program on the archaeology of children and childhood. This would be an engaging method for teaching history, making history accessible and relatable, and helping students to understand past populations and change over time. CRM archaeologists would be well suited to present this unique and engaging program. Furthermore, this would present students with an opportunity to learn about the pre-European-contact period of North America, an area of history that many consider to be excluded from formal curriculum.
Emergence and Progression of Acadian Ethnic and Political Identities: Alliance and Land-Based Inter-Peoples Relations in Early Acadia to Today
Authors: MacLeod Katie
Published: December 2022

This article provides an ethnohistorical overview of the emergence and progression of Acadian ethnic and political identities over time. Strongly based in their relations with the Mi’kmaq during the colonization of Nova Scotia, the Acadians became a unique political entity who identified themselves as neutral. Through the advances made in the colony, British authorities soon realized that the alliance formed between the Acadians and Mi’kmaq could present a threat. This article provides background for the reemerging Acadian-Mi’kmaq relations occurring today around environmental and land-based concerns and seeks to provide the reader with an overview of the shifting Acadian socio-political ideologies throughout their history.

Dmitri Shostakovich
Authors: Martins Filho José Reinaldo Felipe , Da Silva Gustavo Augusto
Published: December 2022

Dmitri Shostakovich foi um importante compositor do século passado, tornando-se bastante conhecido por suas obras icônicas, como a Primeira Sinfonia, op. 10, a Quinta e a Sétima Sinfonias, op. 47 e op. 60, pelo concerto para violoncelo e orquestra n. 1, op. 107, entre outras peças sinfônicas e camerísticas. Viveu no que certamente se pode considerar uma das épocas mais complexas da história, o século XX. Por ser da União Soviética, também foi alvo de repressões por parte do governo de Stalin. Da vida vivida para a arte, porém, soube traduzir o panorama em que estava inserido em suas composições. Este trabalho pretende perscrutar alguns aspectos da música de Shostakovich que se alinhem à delimitação de sua identidade pessoal e musical. Para tal, se concentrará na análise do primeiro movimento da Sétima Sinfonia, op. 60. Não se trata, contudo, de uma análise estilística da peça, mas da tentativa de se construir uma leitura antropológica e historiográfica tendo como referência a relação autor-obra. Os conteúdos identitários e culturais relativos às vivências de Shostakovich que influenciaram direta ou indiretamente a composição da Sétima Sinfonia, op. 60, ganharão particular realce ao longo da incursão.
Chinese Art of Playing the Bamboo Flute:
Authors: Xu Zongke
Published: December 2022

The evolution of a global musical culture may be influenced by local changes, which are described by the characteristic features of the performed musical compositions. With this in mind, the paper’s primary goal is to identify the special aspects of the Chinese art of playing the bamboo flute, while taking into account the acoustic parameters in the performance of contemporary Chinese composers and their influence on national compositional traditions. The sociometric rating index applied herein helped to determine that Feng Zicun (2.94) and Guo Wenqing (2.71) have the highest values for harmonious flute performance, as compared to other Chinese composers - Ren Tongxian, Liu Guang Yue and Zhang Chuanhao. This process is attributed to the fact that Feng Zicun was one of the first to use the flute as a solo instrument, which was made possible by changing the tempo of playing. Guo Wenqing's music-making process is based on a variety of timbres, as well as a combination of traditional intonation and contemporary forms. After studying the ways in which famous composers play the flute, the authors argue that the most important things in the uniqueness of acoustic performance include the breathing pattern (3.05), trills (2.87), changes in pitch and volume (2.40), and overtones (1.92). Respondents, on the other hand, considered the breathing pattern (2.37), pitch changes (2.19), and staccato (1.59) to be the most significant indicators. The differences are attributed to the complexity of the discussed elements, which requires respondents to be more involved in the flute playing process. The findings suggested that contemporary flute approaches (59%) have an advantage over traditional approaches (41%). The paper’s practical implications are attributed to the application of elements affecting the quality of sound in the context of teaching to play the flute. Further studies might address the positive and negative influence of European traditions of flute playing in Chinese culture.
Chinese traditional motifs in contemporary European music
Authors: Chai Wei
Published: December 2022

Nowadays, music demands constantly change respectively to listeners’ needs. Owing to this fact, old music genres fade into the background. However, traditional music leaves a mark largely imprinted in not only Chinese music, but also world music. Thus, it is important to investigate contribution of traditional Chinese music to the modern European music. Respondents from various Chinese music departments were surveyed to examine the contribution of traditional Chinese culture to various types of contemporary European music. A list of Chinese folk music identification factors was also compiled to better understand the perception of Chinese traditional motifs in contemporary European music. To study this problem, at the first stage of the study a large number of musical works from different European countries was analyzed (the music of such countries as Great Britain, Germany and France was analyzed within the framework of this work). The finding shows that common features of traditional Chinese motifs are domination of monophonic performance, enormous variation of percussion, "contemplative mood", pentatonic scale without semitones, and availability of stringed instruments. In addition, the second step of investigation shed light on the contribution of Chinese tradition music to music of different European countries. In the last stage, tracks in which respondents thought Chinese folk motifs existed were examined by means of a quantitative analysis of musical scores to identify common characteristics (rhythm, skips, and similar melodies). This analysis helped to better understand the main characteristics of Chinese folk music's contribution to contemporary European music. As the analysis showed, regardless of the country to which this or that track belongs, there are common characteristics - the singing of steady steps and the descending melody with a subsequent rise by one tone or semitone. According to the result, British modern music has more Chinese folk motifs (15 from 50 randomly chosen works), whereas German music contains only 9 from 50 works. At the same time, French music has only 1 out of 50 Chinese folk motifs. Also, all respondents were interviewed to determine common adjectives, which help to characterize Chinese folk music. The finding shows that the most popular adjectives are "mesmerizing", "intriguing", "intricate", "calm", "mysterious", "sublime" and "soothing". Obtained results contribute to the research of Chinese traditional music perception and its contribution to European contemporary music. Furthermore, the framework used in this research is new and can be applied in subsequent works in this area of research.
New prolonged paleoclimatic cycles registered in calcite flowstones from the Duhlata cave, Bulgaria
Authors: Shopov Yavor
Published: December 2022

Studies of Quaternary climate change are particularly important for determining the extent and scale of the participation of natural and anthropogenic processes in global warming. For their research we applied measurements of paleoluminescent records and absolute dating of calcite flowstones from the Duhlata cave, Bosnek, Bulgaria. Using periodogram analysis of the obtained speleothem records, we established existence of new prolonged cycles of Quaternary climate change. Their intensity is comparable to that of the Milankovic cycles, which cause glaciations, so they have potential to produce similar impact on climate.

Peningkatan jumlah penduduk lansia merupakan salah satu dampak dari keberhasilan Pemerintah dalam melaksanakan Pembangunan Nasional.  Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk dapat menggambarkan serta memetakan gender gap kondisi sosial ekonomi antara lansia perempuan dan laki-laki di Indonesia pada tahun 2020. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode analisis data sekunder dengan menganalisis tabel data yang diambil dari publikasi Badan Pusat Statistik berjudul "Statistik Penduduk Lanjut Usia 2020". Hasil dari penelitian ditemukan adanya gender gap antara lansia laki - laki dan perempuan dengan sex ratio 94 yang berarti dalam 100 penduduk lansia perempuan terdapat 94 lansia laki-laki. Beberapa wilayah dengan gender gap paling tinggi yaitu, Sulawesi Selatan, Sumatera Utara,  dan DIY. Perbedaan perlakuan akibat adanya budaya patriarki berpengaruh pada keadaan sosial ekonomi lansia perempuan di masa sekarang. Pendidikan yang rendah berdampak pada kualitas pengetahuan lansia perempuan, data BPS menunjukan bahwa 54,56% lansia perempuan tidak tamat SD, sedangkan lansia laki-laki hanya sebesar 37,55%. Rendahnya pendidikan lansia perempuan menjadikan Lansia perempuan memiliki  sosial ekonomi yang lemah dibanding laki – laki. Hal ini dapat terlihat dari upah yang diterima Lansia perempuan berkisar 1.110.000, berbeda dengan Lansia laki-laki sebesar 1.726.000.  Namun demikian gender gap ini bervariasi antar wilayah dimana proporsi lansia perempuan tinggi, di situ terjadi gender gap cenderung tinggi.
Emotional and Behavioural Reactions of High School Students with Special Educational Needs (Hearing Impairments) under Stress
Authors: VOVCHENKO OLHA
Published: December 2022

The relevance of the study is conditioned by the constant stress in which Ukrainians live today. The paper also considers this issue from the standpoint of the period of collective stress, which depends not only on the individual’s own tendency to anxiety or neurotic reactions, but also on the social environment. The study is also relevant because it reveals the main ways of helping a psychologist in such situations: the process of support, the development of positive thinking, which will be combined and directed to constructive reflection. The problem of collective or personal stress is the consequences that lead to panic attacks, emotional burnout, neuroticism, and other neurological complications, in particular, in young people (high school age, adolescence), when the psyche undergoes constant changes, is prone to suggestion and does not yet have clear guidelines for life movement. In such conditions of stress, two ways of personal transformation are possible – destructive and constructive. Therefore, the purpose of the study is a praxeological investigation of the emotional and behavioural reactions of high school students with special educational needs, identifying the state of anxiety and stress levels that affect their regulative sphere in general. The following theoretical approaches were used: deductive (axiomatic, hypothetical and deductive) – for a systematic description of the phenomenon under study; inductive (to establish patterns, systematisation, typology based on the results of empirical research), and special empirical: psychological diagnostics of stress level “Test to determine the level of stress” (V. Shcherbatykh), “Methods of perceptual assessment of the type of stress resistance” (N. Fetiskin), “Methods for detecting personal and situational anxiety” (C. Spielberg); methods mathematical statistics. As a result of the survey, a relatively similar but rather high level of stress and anxiety was found in high school students with special educational needs. In addition, it is determined that the prevailing beliefs and behavioural strategies that do not allow adapting to new living conditions are dominated by negative information selection and globalisation of the smallest problems. The main manifestations of stress are identified, such as: depressive states, post-traumatic stress disorders, neurotic states, fears, and many other post-stress reactions of the psyche and body. The indicators of anxiety, stress tolerance, and general stress level showed high correlations, which indicates a low level of resistance of the growing personality in conditions of uncertainty, changes, personal and social crises. It was found out that now the main task of psychologists is correctional and explanatory, therapeutic, correctional work with children with special educational needs, especially during age-related crises.

The relevance of the study is conditioned by the rapid indicators of fear among young people, which has a destructive effect on psychological health, physical condition, social and professional development. The purpose of the study is to analyse the concept of “fear”, investigate its forms and origin, identify current fears among modern youth, and interpret them. Determination of ways to prevent the occurrence of fear, disposal, and its control. To investigate the features of the manifestation of current fears of modern youth, methods are used that are qualitatively combined and form a common concrete result, namely: empirical (quantitative research using an online survey), comparative, introspection, and interpretation. The results of this study are aimed at clearly defining the concept of fear, exploring its varieties, and identifying forms of fear. Theoretically, it is presented how fear can affect the development of personality, influence view of life, values, and self-determination in the professional and social environment. With the help of theoretical analysis, the specific features of the manifestation of fear in young people are compared based on Ukrainian and international experience. The results of an empirical study are demonstrated, and the most common fears of modern youth are identified. The findings are aimed at identifying ways to prevent the occurrence of fear, using corrective techniques for internal control, and determining the physiological and psychological manifestations of fear that can be controlled by willpower. This paper is not only a theoretical explanation of the existence of fear, but also it has preventive significance for those who want to take control of their own emotions and displace those categories of fear that prevent them from living a full life.

Published: December 2022

The relevance of the study is determined as follows: insufficient attention to the educational and research activities of students in the process of learning various disciplines, in particular, chemistry; weak implementation of the potential of scientific disciplines for the educational and research activities of high school students; the need to develop the technology of creating educational research environment for secondary school students studying STEM subjects. In the conditions of constant development of science and technology, computerisation of society, integration of education and science, the requirements for graduates increase: with sufficient theoretical knowledge, it is necessary to be able to apply them in various life situations, predict possible consequences of decisions made, demonstrate social activity, interest in scientific problems and initiatives. The purpose of the study is to develop, theoretically substantiate, and experimentally test the content and pedagogical conditions of educational activities of high school students in chemistry classes. As a research method, a systematic approach was used when considering the phenomena of current chemistry teaching in the context of modern education, and a method of comparing chemistry teaching in Kazakhstan and other countries. The result of the study was the concept of a project method, which is based on a focus on the result that can be obtained when solving a specific practical or theoretically significant problem. To achieve such a result, it is necessary to teach children or adults to think independently, find and solve problems, acquire knowledge from various fields, be able to predict the results and possible consequences of various decisions, and be able to determine the causes, relationships, and consequences. It was concluded that the use of the project method increases motivation, develops creative abilities, personal qualities, and improves the learning material and knowledge of basic research methods.
Internet of things in Saudi public healthcare organizations: The moderating role of facilitating conditions
Authors: Alarefi Mohammed
Published: December 2022

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an innovative technology that has the potential to help public hospitals better meet the demands of hospitalization. However, only a small portion of the research looked at patients' behavioural intentions (BI) to utilise IoT healthcare devices (IoTHD). This study intends to investigate the variables that influence the BI's use of IoTHD. The research suggests that the BI may be explained by factors of UTATU. The patients of public hospitals make up the population. A questionnaire was used to obtain the data using convenience sampling. Participants in this research totalled 161. Smart Partial Least Square results demonstrated that social influence (SI) has an impact on performance expectancy (PE). Technological complexity (TC) and playfulness (PP) had an impact on effort expectancy (EE). Additionally, the BI to adopt IoTHD was impacted by PE, EE, perceived security (PS), and perceived privacy (PV). The impact of PE and EE on BI to use IoTHD was not moderated by the facilitating conditions (FC). In order to improve patients' perceptions of IoTHD usage in public health organisations, simple process and more positive word of mouth is required.

Social Media is one of the digital marketing media that is widely used today and the presence of the brand ambassador phenomenon is one of the determinants of consumer purchasing decisions for a product advertised on social media. In today's advances in digital technology, whether consumers prefer to be a model for the product and also whether trust in consumers is also a factor in the consumer's decision to buy. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of brand ambassador and trust variables on consumer decisions to shop online and also purchase decisions on repurchase. In this study the researchers used four variables, twelve dimensions where each dimension was represented by two indicators so that in this study there were twenty-four indicators which would later be changed in the form of questions to respondents. The population used is consumers who have shopped for fashion products using brand ambassadors. Given that the population is very large, the researchers used quota sampling to determine the number of samples. The study used 5 times the number of indicators so that there were 120 samples of respondents who were processed through Structural Equation Modeling analysis techniques with AMOS software. The results of data processing indicate that brand ambassadors and trust significantly influence consumer purchasing decisions. It was found that trust had the greatest influence on trust. Moreover, purchasing decisions have a significant effect on online consumer repurchase.

The study challenges the previous literature and assumes the digital vision as a proxy of intention among Technological, Organizational, and Environmental (TOE) factors and investigates the influence of TOE factors on cloud accounting adoption among Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). Furthermore, the effect of cloud accounting adoption on the organization's performance as measured by the balanced scorecard was evaluated. The data collection strategy employed an online survey of owners and managers using snowball methodology, in which the survey was automatically introduced to the respondents most likely to find relevant. The data was validated prior to SEM analysis. Seven of eight hypotheses were accepted, including the two hypotheses about the impact of the digital vision on cloud accounting adoption and the hypothesis about the impact of cloud accounting adoption on balanced scorecard-measures organizational performance. Despite the importance of the statistically significant factors in the study model, the digital vision was the most affected by the organizational readiness factor. The findings contribute to the TOE model by challenging the previous literature and assumption of digital vision as a proxy of intention among TOE factors. Future studies should use the TOE framework more caution if the intention is assumed to be a mediating variable.

This research involves developing a model that investigates the impact of perceived values on continuance intention to use Facebook. It also examines the impact of Facebook continuance intention on addiction and the mediating role of security concerns on the relationship between them. A structural equation modeling technique was used to analyse data obtained based on a convenience sample from 296 Facebook users in Jordan. Results showed an acceptable fit of the model. The influence of perceived values on continuance intention was confirmed based on findings. However, no similar significant effect was found for trust. A significant effect of continuance intention on Facebook addiction was found but not for security concerns. The contrasting findings represent a challenge and a possible opportunity for future research and practitioners. The research discusses different theoretical and professional contributions and outlines the implications arising from the research model.

Introduction: Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is the main glomerular nephropathy secondary to malformative uropathies. The latter can be included in the poly malformative syndromes in the pediatric population. However, other glomerular impairments may rarely be associated with some polymalformative syndromes as reported in this rare case of a minimal change disease (MCD) associated with Rubinstein Taybi syndrome (RSTS). Materials and methods: We report a case of pure nephrotic syndrome in a young male patient with RSTS. Case presentation: It is about a 27 year old young patient diagnosed since birth with a Rubinstein Taybi. In 1994, he was hospitalized in pediatrics for acute pyelonephritis. Retrograde urethrocystoscopy (RUC) showed bilateral vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) grade 3 with functional renal asymmetry on scintigraphy. The patient was admitted in nephrology department in 2019 for a pure and intense nephrotic syndrome with abrupt onset. The initial diagnosis retained was glomerular nephropathy particularly a FSGS secondary to his malformative uropathy. Subsequently, in view of the persistence of an intense nephrotic syndrome, the absence of VUR at the RUC, as well as the functional renal symmetry at the scintigraphy, it was decided to perform a renal biopsy. The biopsy showed an optically normal kidney with the presence of some meningial C3 deposits. MCD was then retained. The patient received corticosteroid therapy with a favorable clinical and biological response. Conclusion: Even if reflux nephropathy remains the most frequent cause of glomerulopathy secondary to malformative uropathy, we should not hesitate to perform a renal biopsy in front of an intense nephrotic syndrome with no functional renal impact of the VUR.

Beberapa faktor resiko yang diduga berperan terhadap timbulnya penyakit diabetes mellitus diantaranya riwayat keluarga, lingkungan, usia, etnis, hipertensi, gaya hidup tidak sehat, dan faktor psikologis stress dan depresi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk untuk mengetahui hubungan faktor psikologis stres dan depresi dengan kadar gula darah penderita diabetes mellitus tipe 2. Jenis penelitian studi korelasi dengan populasi penderita diabetes mellitus tipe 2 yang berkunjung ke UPTD Puskesmas Ganjar Agung Metro Barat dari bulan Februari sampai Maret 2022, dengan jumlah sampel 45 orang. Sampel diambil secara eksidental sampling yaitu semua penderita diabetes mellitus tipe 2 yang datang pada saat dilakukan penelitian akan dijadikan sampel. Alat ukur dalam penelitian ini menggunakan kuesioner Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS). Analisis menggunakan uji person product moment. Rata-rata skor gejala stres penderita diabetes mellitus  yaitu sebesar 14,56±4,808 (CI95% 13,11-16,00). Pada pengukuran gejala depresi didapatkan rata-rata skor drepesi sebesar 10,78±3,081 (CI95% 9,85-11,70), dan pada pengukuran gula darah sewaktu didapatkan rata-rata skor gula darah sebesar 251,93±37,373 mg/dl (CI95% 240,71-263,16). Hasil menunjukkan bahwa tingkat stres dan depresi memiliki hubungan signifikan dengan kadar gula darah penderita diabetes mellitus. Hubungan stres dengan gula darah termasuk dalam kategori kuat dan pada depresi termasuk dalam kategori cukup. Arah korelasi menunjukkan arah positif artinya semakin tinggi tingkat stres dan depresi maka kadar gula darah penderita diabetes mellitus akan semakin meningkat. Bagi penderita diabetes mellitus disarankan untuk dapat melakukan aktivitas fisik dan melakukan kegiatan yang positif untuk menghindari stres dan depresi.

Background: Platelets are produced in the bone marrow and remain in blood for about 2 weeks before they are destroyed in the reticuloendothelial system. The range of normal platelets count 150 & 450 × 103/μl that is also the same and is mostly recorded throughout the normal pregnancy. A platelet counts of less than 150 x103/μl is considered to be thrombocytopenia. It’s commonly diagnosed & has attracted interest from the1researchers in pregnant females during the last 20.0 years, especially in pregnant hypertensive women. Objective: To find frequency of low platelet count (thrombocytopenia)1in females diagnosed with hypertensive disorder after 20 weeks of gestation. Methodology Study Design: Cross sectional study Setting: Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology Shalimar hospital, Lahore. Material and Methods: All information was noted on attached proforma after getting written informed consent. From OPD of Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Shalimar Hospital Lahore, a total of 282 females fulfilling selection criteria were taken. After enrolling the cases a detailed clinical assessment was done and their demographic and gestational information were taken along with parity. Pregnancy induced hypertension was further classified as Gestational HTN, Mild preeclampsia, Eclampsia and Severe preeclampsia. Blood sample with the help of staff nurse was drawn and was sent to hospital laboratory. Values of platelet count were noted after taking reports from hospital laboratory. Moreover using operational definition thrombocytopenia was labeled. Result: The mean age of cases was 30.68 ± 5.78 years with minimum and maximum age as 17 and 40 years. The mean gestational age was 31.74 ± 5.40 weeks with minimum and maximum gestational age was 22 and 40 weeks. A total of 235(83.33%) cases had thrombocytopenia and 47(16.67%) cases had normal platelet count. Conclusion: The conclusion of the study the frequency of low plate count (thrombocytopenia) in females diagnosed with hypertensive disorder after 20 weeks of gestation was 83.33%. The statistics is very high and there must be some preventive strategies to reduce the risk of hypertensive disorder, and if it once diagnosed the further therapeutic strategies should be adopted to reduce related complications such as thrombocytopenia.
