Authors: Perim Ketenciler Aysun , Seçginli Selda
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Breast cancer is a prevalent and significant health issue among women both globally and in our country. The aim of this study is to systematically examine the effects of tailored interventions, such as group education and telephone counseling, on breast cancer screening behaviors and health perceptions among women with low socioeconomic status. The study seeks to evaluate how these interventions influence women's health awareness, their adoption of screening behaviors, and their access to healthcare services.
Method: This study is a randomized controlled trial conducted at a family health center. Data were collected by using the Diagnostic Form, Breast Cancer Health Belief Model Scale, Mammography Self-efficacy Scale, and Breast Cancer Fear Scale. The study sample consisted of 123 women. The Tailored Interventions in Breast Cancer Screenings (TIBCS) included group education and telephone counseling. These tailored interventions were based on the health belief model. The study consisted of two experimental groups those receiving tailored group education (N=41) and those receiving tailored telephone counseling (N=41) and one control group receiving standard care (N=41). A pre-test and post-test control group design was used in the study, and the outcome variables were evaluated before the intervention and at the 3rd and 6th months after the intervention. Data were collected by using the Socioeconomic Status Scale, Diagnostic Form, Breast Cancer Health Belief Model Scale, Mammography Self-Efficacy Scale, Breast Cancer Fear Scale, and Breast Cancer Fatalism Scale. The NCSS (Number Cruncher Statistical System) program was used for statistical analysis. Data were evaluated by using descriptive statistical methods.
Results: The study found that TIBCS increased the rates of regular self-breast examinations, clinical breast examinations, and mammography screenings (p<0.05). In the experimental groups of the TIBCS, it was observed that self-breast examination benefits, mammography benefits, confidence, and health motivation perceptions increased, while perceived barriers to self-breast examination and mammography decreased (p<0.05), with no change in susceptibility perception (p>0.05). Similarly, in both experimental groups, women's perceptions of mammography self-efficacy increased, while fear and fatalism perceptions showed a significant decrease (p<0.05).
Conclusion: TIBCS applied to women with low socioeconomic status is effective in increasing the rate of breast cancer screening behaviors and improving health perceptions. Therefore, tailored interventions are considered to be beneficial in future studies.

Published: February 2025

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of fear of hypoglycemia and psychological resilience on disease acceptance and action in individuals with type II diabetes.
Methods: This research was conducted as a cross-sectional study online from January 1 to June 30, 2023, involving 105 participants. Data were collected using a Personal Information Form, the Fear of Hypoglycemia Scale (FOH), the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), and the Acceptance and Action Diabetes Questionnaire (AADQ). Ethical approval was obtained for the study.
Results: The mean age of participants was 49.71±16.21 years, with 53.3% being female. Among the participants, 49.5% used oral diabetic medications, 67.6% had regular medical checkups, and 54.3% had at least one additional chronic condition. Neuropathy was reported by 24.8% of the participants. The mean scores were: FOH 27.93±22.16, BRS 16.63±4.14, and AADQ 45.21±10.98. Multiple regression analysis indicated that factors such as income being less than expenses (p=0.064), regular doctor checkups (p=0.001), and worries about hypoglycemia (p=0.001) predicted 22.6% of the variance in AADQ scores.
Conclusion: The study found a weak, negative relationship between fear of hypoglycemia, psychological resilience, and disease acceptance in individuals with type II diabetes. These findings underscore the need to assess psychological factors during routine checkups to enhance disease management.
Exploring the Role of App Features in Providing Continuity of Care to Users on a Digital Mental Health Platform (Wysa): A Retrospective Study of Real World Evidence (Preprint)
Authors: Sinha Chaitali , Meheli Saha , Dinesh Dyuthi , Thakkar Riddhi
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Despite digital mental health services growing at a rapid pace to address global mental health needs, there exist challenges of low engagement and attrition. Ensuring continuity of care in the digital context can positively impact mental health care delivery and adherence to treatment, thus establishing digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) as a viable option for mental health support.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to examine the impact of adjunct app features of the mental health app Wysa, and their ability to promote engagement and adherence with the text-based coaching sessions.

METHODS

This retrospective mixed-methods observational study was based on real-world app data from users (n=1210) who subscribed to text-based sessions with mental health coaches (MHCs) between 1st February and 31st July 2022. Their engagement with the adjunct app features, such as brief interventions with the conversational agent (CA), self-management tools, and journaling was analyzed quantitatively using descriptive and inferential statistics. Acceptability of the app features was also assessed using qualitative feedback data.

RESULTS

Findings demonstrated high usage of the adjunct app features which allowed communication with the MHCs in between sessions. The thematic analysis captures user experiences of helpfulness within the application and with the MHCs. Mann-Whitney test indicated that users who accessed one or more features completed significantly more sessions compared to users who did not use any feature (W=154085.0, p<0.001, rB=0.73) with large effect size. Odds ratio analysis indicated that users were almost thrice as likely to complete sessions after using the adjunct app features (OR=2.98, 95% CI[2.63, 3.37], p<0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

Inclusion of adjunct app features enhances continuity in care delivery between sessions and boosts engagement and adherence to digital mental health interventions. Further efforts are needed to improve care continuity and expand the applicability of DMHIs to meet global mental health demands.
Shadow Banking Activities of Non-Financial Enterprises and Corporate Risk-Taking in China: Evidence from the Perspective of Information Disclosure
Authors: Li Xiaodan
Published: February 2025

Based on the theoretical modelling of shadow banking's impact mechanism on corporate risk-taking behaviour, this study empirically investigates the relationship between shadow banking activities and corporate risk-taking using data from non-financial A-share listed companies during 2007-2022. The findings reveal that corporate engagement in shadow banking activities significantly increases their risk-taking levels, with this positive correlation being more pronounced in non-state-owned enterprises and regions with lower digital financial inclusion development. Furthermore, information disclosure quality effectively weakens the positive correlation between shadow banking and corporate risk-taking, indicating that companies with higher quality information disclosure significantly reduce their risk-taking levels associated with shadow banking activities. This study provides policy implications for government and regulatory authorities on mitigating excessive corporate participation in shadow banking activities.

Authors: Hussin Siti Aishah , Md Yusop Hamidah , Abdul Razak Nurhanan Syafiah , Munusami Chandramalar
Published: February 2025

Women's discrimination in the workplace refers to the behavioral component or differential actions taken towards women. Women often face discrimination due to societal biases and stereotypes. People usually view women as possessing positive traits such as kindness, compassion, and thoughtfulness due to gender stereotypes. Conversely, many people perceive women as reliant, feeble, and overly sentimental, viewing these traits as weaknesses that make them incompatible with leadership roles. Women often miss out on promotions or leadership opportunities, even though they are equally or more qualified than their male counterparts. The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between women's discrimination in the workplace and workplace culture. A sample of this study included 215 respondents from Malaysian government-linked companies. The data was analyzed using the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) approach. The findings reveal that workplace culture has a significant impact on women's discrimination in the workplace. Therefore, the implications of this study show that workplace culture is essential and has a direct influence on preventing workplace discrimination against women.

Authors: Alshakhanbeh Mohammad Abed Al Qader , Pitchay Anwar Allah , Mia Md Aslam , Abdel Ra’uof Nairoukh Rami Mohammad Bassam , Abd Jalil Mohamad Isa
Published: February 2025

This study investigates the impact of liquidity and leverage on the firm value of publicly listed service firms in Jordan, providing insights into financial management practices in emerging markets. Using secondary data from 38 service firms listed on the Amman Stock Exchange between 2011 and 2021, the study measures firm value through Tobin's Q, liquidity via the cash ratio (CHR) and quick ratio (QR), and leverage through short-term debt (SD) and long-term debt (LD). Employing Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), the findings reveal that the quick ratio positively influences Tobin's Q, suggesting that higher liquidity, excluding inventory, enhances market valuation, aligning with Pecking Order and Agency Cost Theories. However, the cash ratio negatively affects firm value, indicating inefficiencies from excessive cash reserves. Both short-term and long-term debt positively impact Tobin's Q, supporting the Trade-Off Theory by highlighting the strategic benefits of leverage. While the study is limited to the Jordanian service sector and data from 2011 to 2021, its findings offer valuable empirical evidence on the distinct effects of liquidity and leverage in emerging markets. These insights are relevant for managers, boards, policymakers, and government agencies aiming to enhance economic prosperity and firm performance.

Authors: Abdaljabar Wafa Mohammad , Zakuan Norhayati , Mat Saman Muhamad Zameri , Setapa Mariam
Published: February 2025

Previous business crises have highlighted the shortcomings in the methodologies employed for risk management within organizations. In response to these problems, organizational risk management has gained importance recently for the oversight of corporate risk. Unlike solo-based risk management, Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) analyses the organization's whole risk exposure in an integrated and complete manner. The execution of such an integrated approach is essential for all organizations of size and types. Therefore, this study aims to investigate how the COSO ERM framework is considered a crucial framework that provides precise direction and guidance in enterprise risk management among manufacturing enterprises in Jordan and its impact on non-financial performance to enable organizations to mitigate risks and losses and exploit the opportunities.? Furthermore, it highlights the prominent role of risk governance including boards of directors, risk committees, chief risk officers, and IT systems as moderators of this relation.
Availability based maintenance analysis for system with repair time threshold
Authors: Kontrec Natasa , Panic Stefan , Panic Biljana
Published: February 2025

In this paper, we are observing a reparable system comprised of several
components. The aim is to determine at which repair rate the system achieves
the highest availability. To accomplish that, the procedure for the
calculation of the repair rate in function of the desired level of
availability for the system with a predetermined repair rate threshold is
created. The presented approach is based on the exploration of the
probability density function (PDF) of a system's repair time by observing
the probability that repair rates of its components surpass a determined
threshold. The obtained results can be applied in reliability theory,
maintenance planning, and many other fields. To prove the application of the
developed model, the results are verified by a numerical example for an
unmanned vehicle system.

Authors: Sharma Sonam , Singh Surender
Published: February 2025

The notion of Single-valued neutrosophic sets (SVNSs) being a generalization
of fuzzy sets, intuitionistic fuzzy sets and picture fuzzy sets enhances
implications of these methods in various interdisciplinary problems.
Aggregation operator is a prevalent tool for unifying the data from various
sources and applied to solve the problems of decision-making. In this
article, the Yager's operations and power averaging operator are utilized to
formulate and investigate some single-valued neutrosophic Yager power
operators, i.e., single-valued neutrosophic Yager power weighted averaging
(SVNYPWA) operators, single-valued neutrosophic Yager power order weighted
averaging (SVNYPOWA) operator, single-valued neutrosophic Yager power
weighted geometric averaging (SVNYPWGA) operator, and single-valued
neutrosophic Yager power ordered weighted geometric averaging (SVNYPOWGA).
Some important properties of the suggested operators are discussed.
Furthermore, SVNYPWA and SVNYPWGA operators in the SVN environment are
applied to solve the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem for
selecting a suitable road construction company. Also, the proposed method
has been verified using the multi-attributive border approximation area
comparison (MABAC) method. Finally, a comparative analysis has been done, to
establish the advantage of the proposed approach over the existing methods.

Psycho-Emotional Rehabilitating Means of Overcoming Extreme and Stressful Impact
Authors: A Ivanchenko
Published: February 2025

Strengthening the person’s self-sustainability is based, first of all, on the activation of own protective and mobilization
mechanism with the maximum use of internal reserves. This provides colossal potential and resources for self-restoring, being
a non-drug and, mainly, natural modus in the system of human body functioning, at that, without any side effects. However, in a
stressful situation, spontaneous self-activation of individual psychobaggage can be blocked because of emotional-physiological
overexertion caused by extreme events, which is observed during almost three years of Russian terrorism in Ukraine. It is in
such situations that non-drug psychological techniques and alternative methods of self-rehabilitating can be useful, leading
to significant relaxation, reducing the internal overload of the body, allowing a person to transform negative perceptions and
feelings into a more balanced positive inner state. The aim our Mini-Review was to systematize experimental, theoretical and
review studies, present a complex of anti-stress self-rehabilitation techniques and provide an analysis of their efficiency.
The following 3 types of methods for preventing the occurrence of dangerous psycho-emotional/somato-physiological
symptoms and rehabilitation from the consequences arising as a result of stressful influences are being analyzed: (1)
preliminary preventive methods, (2) ad hoc created means of psychological emotionally-oriented therapy, (3) ancient, longknown anti-stress bio-energy techniques of (self-)restoration of the body.
It has been established that there is a wide range of various correctional, rehabilitation and health-improving means, the
effectiveness of which has been repeatedly confirmed scientifically. However, these methods are stubbornly not supported
by official medicine and the medical-pharmacological community, so they have not received widespread distribution and
recognition. Nevertheless, the benefits and efficiency of many of the analyzed anti-stress restorative/rehabilitative means
have been proven in real life in the process of providing psychological assistance to Ukrainians affected by the Russian invasion
of Ukraine.

Soul In Islamic Perspective (Surgery of Anatomy of the Soul from Various Perspectives)
Authors: Amin Rizqy Mutmainnah , Ar-Rasyid Hamzah Harun , Haeril Haeril
Published: February 2025

The purpose of writing is to find out the soul in the Qur'an and the perspectives of Muslim philosophers about the soul . The soul is defined as something in a physical form that is materially attached to human beings, visible and not hidden, but at other times it has a meaning as something in a non- material form that flows in the human body as a substance (jauhar) , spirit substance or thinking substance. In the Koran there are two terms that are often used to capture the meaning of the soul, namely ruh (spirit) and nafs . The word nafs in its various forms of derivation is found in 63 letters or 55,26 % of the total number of letters contained in the Qur'an. The word nafs has various meanings including: First, Nafs as self or someone, Second, Nafs as the self of God, Third, Nafs as spirit. Fourth, Nafs as a soul. The philosophy of the soul put forward by Muslim philosophers is an infusion of Greek philosophy which they later developed by drawing closer to Islamic teachings. According to Muslim philosophers, the soul is a spiritual substance as a place for the body. The relationship between the unity of the soul and the body is a coincidence, in which both stand alone and have different substances, so that the destruction of the body does not bring destruction to the soul. The soul remains eternally alive and will feel torment or suffering

Interaksi Hadis dan Budaya: Interpretasi Ali Mustafa Yaqub dalam Kitab Al-Turuq Al-Sahihah Fi Fahm Al-Sunnah Al-Nabawiyah

The source of religious teachings is the Qur'an and hadith (sayings and actions of Prophet Muhammad). The birth of both is closely related to the culture and customs of the society at that time. The Prophet used culture as a medium to convey his message. The actions of the Prophet served as an example for humanity, especially Muslims, in the world. These behaviors and traits are referred to as the "sunnah." One example of the Prophet's habits is wearing the imamah or turban, letting his hair grow long, and many other aspects related to the Prophet's life. As devout followers, it is important to practice everything the Prophet did as a form of reverence for him. However, the challenge arises because every place has different cultures and customs. This becomes an issue when the Prophet's habits, as depicted in the hadiths, are not followed due to reasons not related to religious matters. Consequently, practices that are not considered acts of worship (ibadah) may be abandoned according to the local culture and traditions.
Abstrak
Sumber ajaran agama adalah al-Qur’an dan hadis. Lahirnya keduanya tidak lepas dari budaya dan kebiasaan masyarakat pada masa itu. Nabi menggunakan budaya sebagai media dalam menyampaikan risalahnya. Tindakan yang dilakukan Nabi adalah suri tauladan atau contoh untuk umat manusia khususnya muslim didunia. Prilaku dan sifat itulah disebut dengan sunnah. Salah satu contoh kebiasaan Nabi adalah menggunakan imamah atau sorban, membiarkan rambutnya panjang dan banyak lagi hal-hal yang berkenaan  dengan kehidupan Nabi. Sebagai umat yang taat beragama perlulah utuk mengamalkan semua yang dilakukan Nab dalam bentuk rasa cita kepada Nabi. namun masalahnya adalah setiap tempat mempunyai budaya dan istiadat yang berbeda-beda. Hal ini menjadi masalah ketika kebiasaan Nabi yang tergambar dalam kitab-kitab hadis tidak diamalkan dengan alasan bukan perkara agama. Sehingga amalan yang ranahnya bukan ibdah boleh ditinggal sesuai budaya, tradisi masyarakat setempat.
