Authors: DİNÇER Bahar
Published: September 2022

Bu çalışmanın amacı ilköğretim matematik öğretmen adaylarının değişken, bağımlı değişken ve bağımsız değişken kavramlarına yönelik bilgilerini ve varsa kavram yanılgılarını sistematik olarak incelemektir. Durum çalışması yöntemi ile gerçekleştirilen araştırmada ilköğretim matematik öğretmen adaylarına değişken, bağımlı değişken ve bağımsız değişken kavramlarına yönelik açık uçlu sorulardan oluşan anket uygulaması yapılmıştır. Verilerin çözümlenmesinde betimsel analiz yapılarak, kavramlara yönelik bilgiler ve kavram yanılgıları temalar halinde incelenmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre öğretmen adaylarının büyük çoğunluğunun değişken kavramına yönelik bilgi temalarının genel olarak doğru kabul edilebilir olduğu, ancak değişkenin çeşitli kullanımlarından ziyade sadece tek bir anlamına yöneldikleri ve buna ek olarak eksik ve yanlış öğrenmelerle birlikte bağımlı ve bağımsız değişken kavramlarına yönelik yaygın kavram yanılgılarına sahip oldukları saptanmıştır. Bu kavram yanılgıları ve çeşitleri analiz edilerek, giderilmesine yönelik öneriler sunulmuştur.

Delayed Tuberculin Skin Testing
Authors: Subramonian Anusree , Walter Melissa
Published: September 2022

With delayed tuberculin skin testing (TST) a single TST is performed to screen for tuberculosis (TB) infection 8 weeks after exposure to a known case of TB.

The clinical utility (i.e., clinical benefits and harms of testing) of delayed TST for identifying TB among close contacts with no known risks compared to testing immediately after and at 8 weeks after TB exposure is not known (no evidence was found).

It is not known if delayed TST is a cost-effective approach for identifying TB among close contacts with no known risks compared to testing immediately after and at 8 weeks after TB exposure (no evidence was found).

One evidence-based guideline developed in Canada does not provide specific recommendations regarding delayed TST in close contacts with no known risks of TB. However, the guideline authors discuss that a single TST at 8 weeks after TB exposure could be a practical option for medium-priority contacts (i.e., those with a lower risk to develop active disease). For high-priority contacts (i.e., those with the most exposure and highest risk to develop active disease), the authors propose testing immediately after exposure and a repeat test 8 weeks later.

Published: September 2022

The present study aims to investigate the structural relationships of parental attachment, peer attachment, teacher support, self-control and grit of gifted students. This study was conducted with 247 gifted elementary students. The findings obtained in this study showed that parental attachment influenced self-control directly, and self-control was the full mediator for grit of the gifted students. However, peer attachment and teacher support affected the grit of gifted students directly, and self-control was not a mediator among peer attachment, teacher support and the grit of gifted students. Future studies can be conducted to investigate whether individual characteristics (personalities) and school environment of the gifted students effect self-control and grit in detail.

Abstract. This paper describes a high-resolution Level-3 (L3) altimeter Data Unification and Altimeter Combination System (DUACS) experimental regional product developed with support from the French space agency (CNES). Deduced from full rate (20 Hz to 40 Hz) Level-2 (L2) altimeter measurements, this product delivers Sea Level Anomalies (SLA) and other essential physical variables with a nearly 1-Km sampling over the North Atlantic 0cean. It allows us to resolve wavelengths from ~35 km to ~55 Km depending on the altimeter considered. This was made possible by recent advances in radar altimeter processing for both Synthetic aperture Radar (SAR) and Low-Resolution Mode (LRM) measurements, and improvements made to different stages of the DUACS processing chain. Firstly, the new adaptive and LR-RMC (Low Resolution with Range Migration Correction) processing techniques were considered for Jason and Sentinel-3 (S3A) respectively. They significantly reduce errors at short wavelengths and, for the adaptive processing, possible land contamination near the coast. Next, up-to-date geophysical and environmental corrections were selected for this production. This includes specific corrections intended to reduce the measurement noise on LRM measurement and thus enhance the observability at short wavelengths. Compared to the 1 Hz product, the observable wavelength reached with the experimental high-resolution product are reduced by up to one third, or up to half in the North-East Atlantic region. The residual noises were optimally filtered from full rate measurements taking into consideration the different observing capabilities of the altimeters processed. A specific data recovery strategy was applied, significantly optimizing the data availability both in the coastal and open ocean. This experimental L3 product is thus better resolved than the conventional 1 Hz product, especially near the coast where it is defined up to ~5 km against ~10 km for the 1 Hz version. The multi-mission cross-calibration processing was also optimized with an improved Long Wavelengths Error (LWE) correction leading to a better consistency between tracks with an 9–15 % reduction of SLA variance at cross-over. The experimental L3 product improves the overall consistency with tide gauge measurements with a reduction of the variance of the SLA differences by 5 and 17 % compared to the 1 Hz product from S3A and Jason-3 (J3) measurements respectively. Primarily intended for regional applications, this product can significantly contribute to improving high resolution numerical model outputs via data assimilation. It also opens new perspectives for a better understanding of regional sea surface dynamics, with an improved representation of the coastal currents and a refined spectral content that reveals the unbalanced signal.

The reflections in this study investigates the origins and conceptions of contemporary legal hermeneutics, especially its understanding and application in recent decades, as well as its applicability in the legal system. The article has as its background the application of philosophical hermeneutics in the scope of environmental law and is based on the following hypothesis: with the complexity of emerging problems in society of risk and the growing number of sources of law surrounded by environmental themes, the legal hermeneutics is faced with the need for dialogue with other areas of knowledge, being essential to improve its interpretive potential and broaden the horizon of meaning, in order to work with themes whose concepts emerge from other scientific fields. The analysis is organized into three coordinated parts: a) it deals with the understanding of emerging hermeneutic currents; b) reflects the need for a legal hermeneutics that includes environmental law c) proposes the need for this interdisciplinary dialogue. An alert is presented in order to guide those who are concerned with defending the effectiveness of environmental legal norms, it presents a path to emerging conflicts. The article is the result of a bibliographical research, based on the review of literature related to the themes addressed, using, for that, the dialectical method.

SUMO4AV: An Environment to Simulate Scenarios for Shared Autonomous Vehicle Fleets with SUMO Based on OpenStreetMap Data
Authors: Reichsöllner Emanuel , Freymann Andreas , Sonntag Mirko , Trautwein Ingo
Published: September 2022

In the past years the progress in the development of autonomous vehicles has increased tremendously. There are still technical, infrastructural and regulative obstacles which need to be overcome. However, there is a clear consent among experts that fully autonomous vehicles (level 5 of driving automation) will become reality in the coming years or at least in the coming decades. When fully autonomous vehicles are widely available for a fair trip price and when they can easily be utilized, a big shift from privately owned cars to carsharing will happen. On the one hand, this shift can bring a lot of chances for cities like the need of less parking space. But on the other hand, there is the risk of an increased traffic when walking or biking trips are substituted by trips with shared autonomous vehicle fleets. While the expected social, ecological and economical impact of widely used shared autonomous vehicle fleets is tremendous, there are hardly any scientific studies or data available for the effects on cities and municipalities. The research project KI4ROBOFLEET addressed this demand. A result of the project was SUMO4AV, a simulation environment for shared autonomous vehicle fleets, which we present in this paper. This simulation tool is based on SUMO, an open-source traffic simulation package. SUMO4AV can support city planners and carsharing companies to evaluate the chances and risks of running shared autonomous fleets in their local environment with their specific infrastructure. At its core it comprises the mapping of OpenStreetMap1 entities into SUMO objects as well as a Scenario Builder to create different operation scenarios for autonomous driving. Additionally, the simulation tool offers a recursive execution with different fleet sizes and optimization strategies evaluated by economic and ecologic parameters. As evaluation of the toolset a simulation of an ordinary scenario was performed. The workflow to simulate the scenario for shared autonomous vehicle fleets was successfully processed with the SUMO4AV environment.
Comparison of Reinforcement Learning Agents Applied to Traffic Signal Optimisation
Authors: Louw Cobus , Labuschagne Louwrens , Woodley Tiffany
Published: September 2022

Traditional methods for traffic signal control at an urban intersection are not effective in controlling traffic flow for dynamic traffic demand which leads to negative environmental, psychological and financial impacts for all parties involved. Urban traffic management is a complex problem with multiple factors  effecting the control of traffic flow. With recent advancements in machine learning (ML), especially reinforcement learning (RL), there is potential to solve this problem. The idea is to allow an agent to learn optimal behaviour to maximise specific metrics through trial and error. In this paper we apply two RL algorithms, one policy-based, the other value-based, to solve this problem in simulation. For the simulation, we use an open-source traffic simulator, Simulation of Urban MObility (SUMO), packaged as an OpenAI Gym environment. We trained the agents on different traffic patterns on a simulated intersection. We compare the performance of the resultant policies to traditional approaches such as the Webster and vehicle actuated (VA) methods. We also examine and  contrast the policies learned by the RL agents and evaluate how well they generalise to different traffic patterns.
Signal priority for improving fluidity and decreasing fuel consumption
Authors: Belhassine Khaled , Renaud Jacques , Coelho Leandro , Turgeon Vincent
Published: September 2022

Signal priority is a strategy to handle traffic that adjusts the timing of a traffic signal phases to achieve a mobility goal, typically to reduce congestion or waiting time. This strategy enables increased mobility and is usually used in public transport operations; it works by making small modifications to the phases of a cycle in order to delay the green phase or anticipating the end of the red phase. We build a detailed simulation of the city center where an industrial partner operated and introduce signal priority handling to improve operations and mobility for their heavy-duty vehicles. The idea is that when these vehicles stop at red signs, they incur high consumption to regain speed, and cause congestion on the traffic behind them due to their lower acceleration. Detailed computational experiments demonstrate that this strategy generates significant gains for the partner fleet and has a side benefit of also improving fluidity for the surrounding traffic.

Published: September 2022

Traditional Ghanaian seats have existed for centuries. As of now, there is no complete research material detailing its history, nature, types, functions, appropriate materials for production, and the symbolic designs conveyed in the craft making it incomplete to tell the rich culture of Ghana. The paper aims at providing a more detailed overview of the craft to serve as complete and reliable reference material to learners. This qualitative study employed the narrative research design. The study was conducted at Ahwiaa and Bomani Tyehimba traditional wood carving communities in the Ashanti and Eastern regions of Ghana respectively. Two historians; one each, and ten traditional stool carvers; five each from the visited carving communities were purposively selected and interviewed. The craft was initiated by the Ashantis and traveled to other regions. The craft has a flat rectangular base, a center section, and a crescent-shaped top. The center section contains distinctive motifs and symbolic meanings that are the source of the numerous stools' names. Some symbolic wisdom conveyed in the craft includes; Gye Nyame, Bi nka bi, Akofena, Sankofa, etc. Ahemmaa dwa, Mmarima dwa, Mmaa dwa, Osram dwa, Kotoko dwa, Esono dwa, etc. are some common types of the craft. It functions as practical items in every home, as a connection to rites of passage, as religious artifacts, and as a political allegory. Wood like Osese (Funtumia sp.), Nyame dua (Alstonia gongensis), Cedrela (Cedrela odorata), Mahogany (Swietenia mahagoni), teak (Tectona grandis), etc. are used for the production. The study will add up to the Ghanaian citizens, foreigners, and researchers’ knowledge to know much about the craft and the cultural heritage of the country.
Grammar and Experience: The Interplay Between Language Awareness and Attitude in Italian Sign Language (LIS)
Authors: Fontana Sabina
Published: September 2022

Shifts in the awareness towards language may lead to new language attitude and to a selection process of certain features among the many forms sign language can have in a community and ultimately to language change. Drawing from usage-based views (Bybee, 2006; Hopper, 1987), from studies on perception and attitudes (McKenzie 2015; Dragojevic et al., 2021) and from ethnography of communication (Hymes, 1974), this paper will investigate with the matched guise and participant observation techniques how specific linguistic features are guided by the participants’ language awareness and attitudes. Ten deaf participants (age range 28-82) were shown four videos with signers using different formal registers of LIS and were asked questions about their signing style in a natural setting. Levels of language awareness were analyzed in the light of Culioli (1990) in accordance with a sign language awareness scale and correlated with language attitudes. Results show that language attitude is shaped by language ideologies and awareness which leads to a selection of communicative patterns made legitimate by the community in the direction of autonomy, purism and identity preservation.

Del claustro al estado: el patrimonio desamortizado al convento San Agustín de Segovia (1555-1835)
Authors: Arevalillo García Ismael
Published: September 2022

El convento de San Agustín de Segovia fue uno de los más emblemáticos de la ciudad castellana. Ubicado en el centro de la ciudad, a escasos metros de la catedral y de la Plaza Mayor, tuvo un vigoroso pasado hasta la época de las desamortizaciones decimonónicas, las cuales hicieron desaparecer todo un legado histórico, religioso y cultural. Esta casa religiosa fue propietaria de gran cantidad de bienes (rústicos, urbanos, artísticos…), tónica común entodos los cenobios de aquella época y de los que son testigos privilegiados los inventarios de bienes realizados por los gobiernos liberales de la primera mitad del siglo XIX. De su lectura detallada se puede apreciar cómo el cenobio mencionado y la comunidad de frailes agustinos que vivió en sus claustros, fue receptora de un impresionante patrimonio consecuencia de la marcada religiosidad de las gentes coetáneas a esta fundación.

El estudio de la persona de fray Santos Gómez Marañón ofrece abundante información en el ámbito de la historia de la Orden de San Agustín en Filipinas y en el de la diócesis de Cebú. Ambos muy valiosos a su vez para la comprensión de múltiples aspectos de la historia de Filipinas. En este ensayo se estudia su acción como provincial (1825-1829) y como obispo de la diócesis de Cebú (1829-1840), la más grande de Filipinas. El provincialato de Gómez Marañón representó el tránsito de un período de decadencia de la Orden en las parroquias y misiones hacia una progresiva restauración de la década de los treinta. Como obispo de Cebú promovió interesantes acciones en el campo asistencial, en el fomento del seminario y la instrucción de su clero, y en la edificación de la catedral y el palacio episcopal. Otras actuaciones, como la activa contribución a la restauración religiosa de la Orden de San Agustín, produjeron tensiones con la poderosa comunidad de mestizos de chino de Cebú.

Published: September 2022

El convento de San Agustín de Huesca se fundó a principios del siglo XVI y pertenecía a la Provincia Agustiniana de la Corona de Aragón, siendo uno de los diez conventos agustinos que había en el reino de Aragón. Se trata de un convento modesto en cuanto a propiedades y con una comunidad de unos 15 religiosos.Al estar ubicado en una ciudad universitaria, como era Huesca, muchos agustinos consiguieron títulos universitarios y ejercieron diversas cátedras. Es uno de los pocos casos en que los agustinos abandonaron el primer inmueble para trasladarse en el siglo XVIII a uno que dejaron los jesuitas tras su expulsión, llamado de San Vicente Mártir. En sus claustros vivieron agustinos célebres como los escritores Fr. Pedro Malón de Echaide y Fr. Juan de Tolosa, y otros agustinos que ocuparon diversas diócesis, como Fr. Francisco López de Urraca, obispo de Barbastro, Fr. Lorenzo Ibáñez, que ocupó obispados en el reino de Nápoles y Fr. Agustín Arellano, arzobispo de Brindisi.

Health care-associated infection (HCAI) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality associated with clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic procedures in healthcare organizations. Enhancement of hand hygiene practices among healthcare workers is recognized as a measure to decrease healthcare-associated infections. However, previous studies indicated that healthcare institutions' adherence to hand hygiene procedures was fragile. This cross-sectional descriptive correlational study aimed to examine the knowledge, attitude, and practice of hand hygiene following the five moments for hand hygiene and hand hygiene procedures of the Vietnamese Ministry of Health and their associations among 104 bachelor’s nursing students. Knowledge and attitude were examined using a self-structured questionnaire, while practice was evaluated by observation based on the hand hygiene checklist. The study findings showed that 44.2% and 66.3% of participants had good knowledge and a positive attitude regarding hand hygiene. An unsatisfied adherence of 5 moments of hand hygiene (57.5%) and 6 steps of hand hygiene procedure (42.8%) was revealed. Nursing students had significant associations between knowledge, attitude, and hand hygiene practices. In conclusion, unsatisfied levels of knowledge, attitude, and practices among nursing students were reported.

Authors: Zahran Ehab , Malek Ahmed Nabil , Hafez Mohammed Farouk Abdel
Published: September 2022

Background: Severe functional tricuspid regurgitation represents an important unmet need in clinical cardiology given its prevalence, adverse prognostic impact and symptom burden. Surgical tricuspid valve annuloplasty remains the treatment of choice for the majority of patients, especially if the operative risk is acceptable and preserved right ventricular function is present. However, several trans-catheter techniques are currently in bench and early clinical testing to provide alternative treatment options for patients with a very high surgical risk. The aim of this study was to compare between different methods used for tricuspid valve repair for functional tricuspid regurge.  Summary: Ring annuloplasty for secondary severe functional tricuspid regurge is significantly better than Devega procedure in mid-term outcome, regarding residual regurge and right ventricular remodeling. Although both procedure are equally effective in early postoperative period.

Educación liberadora: para la transformación de América Latina.
Authors: Méndez M´éndez José Mario
Published: September 2022

Medellín, como acontecimiento eclesial, sólo puede ser entendido a partir de la realidad latinoamericana de los años 60. De la misma manera, el documento sobre la educación debe entenderse en el marco de la realidad educativa del continente. Si Medellín es el momento más lúcido de la conciencia eclesial latinoamericana, su cuarto documento constituye el aporte pedagógico más relevante de la iglesia en este continente.
La cuestión social en América Latina a la luz de Medellín
Authors: Gutiérrez Julio
Published: September 2022

La II Conferencia Regional del Episcopado Latinoamericano se desarrolló en Medellín, Colombia, entre el 24 de agosto y el 6 de septiembre de 1968, hace ya cincuenta años. Las conclusiones de este encuentro fueron publicadas como “Documentos de Medellín” y llevan por subtítulo La Iglesia en la actual transformación de América Latina a la luz del Concilio. En adelante se citarán solamente como “Medellín”. En el presente artículo, a partir de los antecedentes del Documento, el autor indaga acerca del contexto latinoamericano de los tiempos del Documento, deteniéndose en la conciencia del cambio social, para analizar aquello que Medellín hizo posible y reflexionar acerca de qué nos dice hoy Medellín.
Medellín y el despertar de la educación popular
Authors: Romero Chavarría Elmer Lawrence
Published: September 2022

El presente artículo plantea, a partir de las experiencias de su autor, una reflexión acerca de la praxis de las nuevas ideas que presenta el Documento de Medellín sobre la educación, proponiendo una educación popular y una educación liberadora que llevaría a una praxis educativa destinada a liberar a las personas de las ataduras estructurales que les impedirían su desarrollo pleno. A partir de las propuestas de Paulo Freire, y situándose en el contexto de los años del Documento, el autor propone una educación crítica y liberadora, fundamental para la formación de jóvenes que aprendan de aportes de las generaciones anteriores y trabajen propositivamente para la construcción de una nueva sociedad.

Educación control social y emancipación.
Authors: Méndez Mario
Published: September 2022

En este artículo, el autor hace un análisis de las posibilidades liberadoras de la educación, aunque reconociendo que la educación moderna ha desempeñado prioritariamente un rol conservador. Para el autor, la educación es una realidad compleja en la que confluyen muchos elementos que determinan sus posibilidades liberadoras. El artículo centra su atención en uno de ellos: la forma en que entendemos al sujeto. Según el artículo, la posibilidad emancipadora de la educación implica entender al sujeto como sujeto real, viviente, protagonista, y no como sujeto sujetado ni como sujeto ideal que se define a sí mismo frente al objeto.
INVESTIGATION OF THE SOLUTION OF A FREDHOLM INTEGRAL EQUATION OF FIRST KIND WITH RESPECT TO THE FOURIER SERIES
Authors: Uddin Md. Sharif , Sifuzzaman M. , Huda M.A. , Islam M.R.
Published: September 2022

When an integral equation is solved by using the Fourier series then the solution represents a stationary signal. Usually, integral equation is solved by the successive approximation method and the resolvent kernel method in which the solution is not of Fourier series type and this solution does not represent a stationary signal. In this paper, our main goal is to determine the solution of a Fredholm integral equation of first kind by using the Fourier series.
FECUNDITY OF LIZA PARSIA (HAMILTON) AND RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LENGTH-WEIGHT AND FECUNDITY
Authors: Mostafa Zubaer Bin , Haque Md. Rezaul , Afsana Dalia , Tareque A.M. Hasnein Bin
Published: September 2022

The fecundity of Liza parsia (Hamilton) was estimated studying 80 gravid females collected from the local markets in Khulna during November 2007 to January 2008. The fecundity ranged from 37,675 (total length 15.5 cm, body weight 39.791 g and ovary weight 3.532 g) to 1,87,442 (total length 21.8 cm, body weight 118.8 g and ovary weight 18.421 g). The mean fecundity was calculated to be 91269.29±35501.09. The mean weight of the ovary was 8.657±3.458 g while that of left and right lobes were 4.467±1.823 g and 4.192±1.667 g respectively. The diameter of the eggs of left lobe ranged from 0.42-0.72 mm while that of the egg from right lobe was 0.42-0.75 mm. The regression equation for total length and fecundity, standard length and fecundity, body weight and fecundity, ovary weight and fecundity was estimated to be (R2=0.69), (R2=0.69), (R2=0.76) and (R2=0.90), respectively while that for total length and ovary weight, standard length and ovary weight, body weight and ovary weight was (R2=0.74), (R2=0.75) and (R2=0.83), respectively. The linear relationship was highly significant in all the above cases.

Published: September 2022

Freshwater prawn farming has become an important component in the livelihood of marginal farmers in the freshwater interface of Southwestern coastal Bangladesh. This prawn farming has been integrated with rice and/or vegetable either simultaneously or sequentially. In an attempt to assess the status of integrated prawn-agriculture gher farming in the area, 20 farms at Fakirhat Thana, Bagerhat were surveyed during August-October, 2005. Farmers were interviewed with questionnaire on the production and economics of such integrated farms. Stocking of prawn PL was done at the densities 0.5 to 2.0 PL m-2 during February-March in simultaneous culture and at the densities 3.0 to 7.0 PL m-2 during June-July in sequential system. This integrated prawn farming has beneficial impact on the income of the farmers. Net profit was calculated to be Tk 20,395 ha-1 from a cycle (5-6 months) of simultaneous culture and Tk 35,457 ha-1 from sequential system, and Tk 127,000 ha-1 from rice + prawn + vegetable farming.
A STUDY ON STUDENT MOTIVATION AT UNIVERSITY LEVEL
Authors: Kamal Mustafa , Baqui Gazi Abdullah-hel
Published: September 2022

The present paper explores how student motivation changes over time at university level based on the students’ perspectives. A purposive sample of nine students was interviewed from the Economics Discipline of Khulna University. The paper reveals that the loss of motivation can occur at any stage of a student’s university life: some may start university with low motivation, yet others may be caught in it at the middle stage or even at the very end. While a small number of students sustain good motivation level throughout their student life, most students experience some swings between high motivation and low motivation and majority of them tend to end the university life with a frustrated mindset. It is also found that some factors play a positive role and can drive a number of students more to academic tasks. In addition to providing insights and explanations about what factors work behind to shape the motivation level of students at the university, the present paper reveals how the provision of certain interventions is related to them and thus relevant to the existing setting.

Published: September 2022

Shrimp farming is economically admired and environmentally accused in Bangladesh. Environmental impacts of shrimp farm are related among others to management of waste water and pond sludge. Pond sludge has the potential to be recycled and also can be used as organic manure considering the presence of high level of nutrients and organic matter. The performance of sludge as organic manure was studied on Mahogany seedlings, which was grown on incremental sludge (10%, 20%, 30% --------- 90%) mixture with soil and the performance was compared with other soil mixtures (soil with chemical fertilizer; soil with cow dung and soil with both chemical fertilizer and cow dung mixture) in the nursery. The height, diameter, biomass (leaf, root and shoot) and nutrient concentrations (N, P and K) in leaf of seedlings were measured after 4 month of germination. It was observed that the height and diameter growth, nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations in leaf of seedlings were similar in soil mixture with 90% sludge and soil with both chemical fertilizer and cow dung mixture. The biomass (leaf, root and shoot) production was higher in soil mixture with 90% sludge than soil with both chemical fertilizer and cow dung mixture.

The Traumatic Impact of U.S. Immigration Policies: A Call to Action for Mental Healthcare Providers
Authors: Mattar Sandra , Kimball Sarah
Published: September 2022

In this commentary, the authors argue that discriminatory US immigration institutions and policies have a direct negative impact on immigrant and refugee mental health. A close examination of these polices reveal a pattern of systematized racism and discrimination in the handling of immigrant arrivals to the US. The authors further argue that a comprehensive and culturally responsive approach towards the psychological care of immigrant individuals in the US must incorporate the traumatic effects of experiences of post-migration discrimination and racism, not only pre-migration traumas.  Finally, a case is made for training mental health care workers to reflect on and examine how institutions and policies, as well as current health care approaches, may result in moral injury and institutional betrayal which can further exacerbate symptoms of PTSD, and experiences of discrimination, health inequities, and social isolation.
