AIMS OF THE STUDY: Health equity is a key component of quality of care and an objective for a growing number of quality improvement projects for deontological, ethical, public health and economic reasons. To monitor equity in the delivery of health services in Switzerland, there is a need to implement valid, measurable and actionable equity indicators, along with vulnerability stratifiers such as migrant status, which could lead to differences in quality of care. The aim of this study was to develop a set of healthcare equity indicators and stratifiers targeting inpatient and outpatient populations and to test their feasibility.
METHODS: A scoping literature review and inputs from a national interprofessional expert taskforce provided a set of indicators and vulnerability stratifiers. The most valid and measurable indicators and stratifiers were retained using a Delphi process. They were then operationalised, and their implementation tested in three Swiss hospitals from the three language regions.
RESULTS: A taskforce of 18 experts, including a patient representative, selected 11 indicators that evaluate structures, processes and outcomes, and five vulnerability stratifiers. Although most indicators and stratifiers could be implemented in all three hospitals, data availability was limited for some variables, including patient satisfaction and access to interpreters for foreign-language patients.
CONCLUSIONS: The equity indicators and stratifiers identified by this two-stage process have content validity, wide patient coverage and are focused on inequities in the healthcare system that are actionable through improvement projects. Both the indicators and the project methodology could be replicated in institutions aiming for more equitable care.

Telagogic Learning in Deep Cyberspaces: Innovating Higher Education in the Cognitive Age
Authors: Pitso Teboho
Published: October 2024

The global society is increasingly migrating into deep cyberspaces where living, learning and work would increasingly be conducted in the cyberspaces, digital and virtual. These cyberspaces create conducive conditions to enact a domination-free, equal society that thrives on difference and diversity of cultures, multiple epistemes, diverse values as organised around universal cultural heuristics and rooted cosmopolitanism. Online communities focused on cultures search for this new world order. A new learning for this new world order has become necessary. It has to be web-based and stream online similar to Netflix. Students would curate their own curriculum and stream similar to a playlist, anytime, anywhere. Cyberspace learning would use digital learning techniques such as chat-GPT, meta-verse and e-collaborations. In this chapter, this cyberspace learning is called telagogy. By using a qualitative descriptive research, telagogy is examined from its early beginnings in remote learning through to its current status as web-based, asynchronous streaming of educational courses. The research approach helped in better understanding telagogy and its demands for higher-order thinking and technological savviness in the cognitive age. It is learning whose communication is based on invitational rhetoric that eliminates persuasion and, drives equality, justice, truth, immanent value and self-determination in all learning.
HPV in Breast Carcinogenesis: Friend, Foe, or Fellow Traveler?
Authors: Ayub Awan Usman , Siddique Zeeshan
Published: October 2024

Breast Cancer (BC) is a major public health problem and a leading cause of death and morbidity among women worldwide, with increasing incidence rates over the past decade. Several risk factors, such as reproductive history, lifestyle, and environmental exposure, have been associated with BC, but they only account for 20 to 50% of the cases. Viral infections, especially the Human papillomavirus (HPV), have been suggested as potential etiological agents of BC, but the causal link remains unclear. Herein, we review the prevalence of HPV in BC development and progression, focusing on the molecular mechanisms that HPV employs to infect and transform mammary epithelial cells. We also discuss the modes of transmission of HPV to the breast tissue, such as hematogenous or lymphatic spread, direct inoculation, or sexual contact, and the challenges and implications of HPV detection and prevention in BC. We highlight the possible interactions between HPV and other factors, such as genetic susceptibility and immune response, that may influence the outcome of HPV infection in BC. We provide some directions for future research and clinical practice in this field.

Authors: M. AbdElmaseih Abanoub
Published: October 2024

Polymer concrete is a modern construction material becoming increasingly popular as a greener alternative to conventional cement-based concrete. Using polymer binders instead of cement in the concrete mixture helps reduce the environmental impact and enhance the material’s properties. This proposal aims to focus on utilizing synthetic polymer resin as the primary binder in the polymer concrete mixture. This type of resin is known for its excellent binding properties and ability to improve the overall strength and durability of the concrete. Furthermore, we plan to integrate nanotechnology further to enhance the polymer concrete’s performance and sustainability. Adding nanomaterials, such as metal nanoparticles, can help improve the concrete’s mechanical properties, increase its resistance to corrosion and wear, and reduce its overall weight and carbon footprint. Overall, this proposal presents an innovative and eco-friendly approach to concrete construction, potentially revolutionizing the industry and promoting sustainable development.
Two-Dimensional Liquid Chromatography Advancing Metabolomics Research
Authors: Singh Yatendra , Chen Sixue
Published: October 2024

Multidimensional separation systems offer several advantages over traditional one-dimensional separation systems, particularly their ability to separate molecules from complex mixtures. Two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) significantly enhances the ability to analyze complex mixtures by providing greater separation power, sensitivity, and flexibility, making it an invaluable tool for metabolomics research. The 2D-LC is an exciting mode when pursuing untargeted analysis, as it allows for high-resolution separation and subsequent identification and quantification of more analytes. This chapter summarizes the current applications of 2D-LC in metabolomics and the setups of different separation modes that are being employed, presenting the most suitable combinations of chromatographic methods for different targeted and untargeted metabolomics applications.
Applications of Ultra High-Performance Liquid Chromatography Coupled with High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry
Authors: Owen Bussey III Robert
Published: October 2024

Ultra High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC) coupled with High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS) systems allow researchers to potentially identify and quantitate semi-volatile and nonvolatile chemical constituents in aqueous samples. High-resolution mass spectrometers usually show parent compounds and their fragments with mass to charge ratios with uncertainties in the fifth decimal place, whereas low-resolution mass spectrometers only show nominal masses with uncertainties to the first decimal place. This extra information allows for more descriptive data to characterize compounds such as the chemical formula to both the parent compound and the fragments. This chapter will describe the basic principles behind coupling UHPLC and HRMS along with the benefits and potential limitations. The different types of high-resolution mass spectrometers will be described. In addition, this chapter will review several case studies demonstrating how UHPLC coupled with HRMS systems are used in the environmental and food analysis fields along with the application of metabolomics to some of these fields.
Teacher Burnout in Educational Organizations
Authors: Oh Huijeong
Published: October 2024

Stress, which occurs when humans face any physical or mental situation, is a mental and psychological state felt by humans in the process of coping and adapting to external pressures or demands, and occurs in various forms depending on individual characteristics and environments. Humans need to properly manage the stress they encounter in the process of leading their lives. However, as it is said that stress is the cause of all diseases, when stress occurs continuously or exceeds the acceptable range, humans face various problems. In particular, excessive job stress causes negative results in physiological and behavioral aspects, causing the so-called burnout, a phenomenon of physical and mental exhaustion. This issue of burnout has become a big topic in the education field recently. If the burnout problem experienced by teachers is not properly resolved, then it can have a negative impact not only on individual teachers but also on the school as a whole. So, there is a need to carefully analyze and manage the problem of teacher burnout in educational organizations. Therefore, in this chapter, I will explore and present how teacher burnout appears in educational organizations, what its causes and consequences are, and how it can be resolved.
Peace Officer PTSD and Compound Trauma: Operational Risks, Treatment Options, and Stigma Management
Authors: E. MacLean Charles
Published: October 2024

Peace officers, frequently and recurrently exposed to trauma on the job and often working long shifts and overtime, increasingly suffer from PTSD and compound trauma that predispose those officers to develop depression, anxiety, compassion fatigue, and suicidality, and lead those officers to shoot sooner and less accurately, to over-perceive threats, under-perceive options, and thereby pose unnecessarily enhanced risks to themselves and the public. That confluence is exacerbated by toxic masculinity and organizational stigma endemic in much of law enforcement that can prevent afflicted officers from seeking the psychological intervention and operational accommodations they desperately need. This chapter sketches the current situation among American law enforcement officers and the state-of-the-art stigma-reduction, stress-reduction, and psychological interventions that are beginning to ease the adverse impacts of PTSD and compound trauma on officers and members of the public with whom they interact.

Typically, those who consume diets that are rich in dietary fiber (DF) tend to have a reduced occurrence of chronic diseases. The digestion and absorption of dietary fiber in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is influenced by the structural complexity of the fiber. The beneficial impact of dietary fiber on health is associated with its actions within the gastrointestinal tract. The positive impacts of DF on human health have been proven, exemplified by its effects on immunity, diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disorders. This chapter examines five factors pertaining to dietary fibers and their significance in the diet: The topics covered in this text are (1) different types of fiber, (2) sources of soluble fiber, (3) sources of insoluble fiber, (4) foods with fibers, and (5) the advantages of consuming fiber.
ARBUTUS ANDRACHNE L. POPULATION ON MOUNT KOSHKA ON THE SOUTHERN COAST OF CRIMEA
Authors: Pshenichnikov N. , Makarov N.
Published: October 2024

Monitoring the condition of localities (populations) of rare relict species of woody plants is an important component in understanding trends in the sustainability and conservation of biological diversity and forming the necessary basis for searching for conservation of existing rare plant communities. According to the results of the research, the purpose of which was to identify the number and condition of the population, it was found that the plantings of A. andrachne on Mount Koshka and adjacent rocky ledges are relatively stable in comparison with some other localities of the Crimean area, since in recent decades there has been an increase in the number of fruiting plants in the amount of 161 specimens as of spring 2024, despite the insignificant presence of young undergrowth in this territory. The density of plantings is on average 3.22 individuals per 1 hectare. The condition of the plantings is assessed as good, plant loss is observed only on the southwestern dry steep slopes. Despite the fact that the mountain is a popular tourist attraction, the plants are located in hard-to-reach areas on steep, loose slopes, and an ecological trail runs on top of the Koshka Rock, where A. andrachne is absent. Consequently, recreational pressure in the form of trampling of the ground cover has practically no effect on plantings, and the protected status of the object gives optimism in the preservation of this population.
DESTRUCTIVE TRENDS IN QUERCUS PUBESCENS WILLD. STANDS IN SOUTH-WESTERN CRIMEA
Authors: Koba V. , Nikiforov A. , Gil A.
Published: October 2024

Quercus pubescens Willd grows in Crimea in the area from Alushta to Feodosia and Old Crimea. From Alushta to Balaklava, the coastal zone of the downy oak has optimal conditions for development, as evidenced by the height of some specimens: 15-18 metres. Destructive degenerative processes have been observed in downy oak stands in the area of Ponizovka in the South Coast of Crimea. A distinctive feature of the forests of the oak formation (Quercueta pubescensis) is the predominance of stands of V and lower classes of bonitet, which occupy 95.7% of the area. The unsatisfactory condition of plantations is caused by long-term predatory exploitation of Q. pubescens forests and irrational management in these forests: regular clear-cutting with no reforestation measures. This has led to the fact that, in general, stands of oak gradually lose their useful functions and degrade, especially on the southern macro-slope of the Crimean Mountains. It was found out that these processes have a cyclical character in the region and are conditioned by the climatic factor. In order to preserve the oak in the South Crimea in modern conditions, it is necessary to develop a set of scientifically grounded reclamation measures.

ECOLOGICAL AND BIOLOGICAL STRUCTURE OF THE NEW FOREST QUARTER OF THE NATURE PARK OF REGIONAL IMPORTANCE «CAPE MARTYAN»
Authors: Papelbu V.
Published: October 2024

It has been established that the forest vegetation of the new planning compartment of the regional natural park «Cape Martyan» is mainly represented by pubescent oak forest with an admixture of Juniperus excelsa M. Bieb. There is a small area (0.9 ha) with a predominance of Arbutus andrachne in the plantation composition. In this regard, scientific interest is not only in the pubescent-oak phytocenoses themselves, but also the species accompanying this stand as part of plant communities with the participation of J. excelsa and A. andrachne. The complete floral composition of the plant communities of this new planning compartment allowed us to assess their structure according to some ecological features, namely: in relation to the modes of moisture and light, according to the main biomorph, according to the structure of shoots and the depth of the root system. In the ecological range of hydromorphs, xeromesophytes predominate in all units, and in the ecological range of ecomorphs in relation to light regime, shade-enduring plants predominate. According to the main life form in plant communities, along with the arborescent stratum, polycarpic grasses prevail, the structure of above-ground shoots shows the supremacy of rosette-free species, and in the spectrum of biomorphs, based on the depth of the root system, taproot species with deep root system are dominant.

Authors: Shiny Bridgette I  , Rexlin Jeyakumari S
Published: October 2024

Rice is the staple diet for millions of people in Asia and around the globe. Nowadays, Farmers are facing many challenges in the field because the soil’s fertility is declining, it is growing harder for farmers to cultivate their land. Numerous elements, such as soil erosion, salinity, Poor Nutrient Management and temperature variations, have an impact on soil fertility. Rainwater runs swiftly across upland soils, making it difficult for farmers to hold on to the moisture in the soil. Now, it is time to rethink the cropping patterns based on agroclimatic zones. India is the leading producer of Rice crops. It is one of the major food crops that provide nourishment for millions of people every day. This paper aims to investigate the fuzzy production-related factors for one acre of rice farming. Various costs are fuzzified as trapezoidal fuzzy numbers and deffuzzified by using the beta distribution method. This proposed model is to determine the optimal solution using lagrangean method. A numerical example is concluded.

A secured routing algorithm for cluster-based networks, integrating trust-aware authentication mechanisms for energy-efficient and efficient data delivery
Authors: Annalakshmi D  , C. Jayanthi
Published: October 2024

Secure routing in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is vital for preserving data veracity and privacy in the face of possible threats. Traditional routing protocols lack robust security mechanisms, making WSNs vulnerable to attacks. Secure routing protocols in WSNs aim to address these vulnerabilities by implementing authentication, encryption, and intrusion detection techniques to ensure secure and reliable data transmission while minimizing energy consumption. This paper proposes a novel secured routing algorithm tailored for cluster-based networks, aimed at enhancing energy efficiency and data delivery security by integrating trust-based authentication mechanisms. The approach begins with the design of a clustering algorithm, which organizes network nodes into clusters based on proximity or network topology. Subsequently, a trust-based authentication mechanism is developed to evaluate the reliability and integrity of both nodes and links within the network. Building upon these foundational elements, a secured routing protocol is devised to capitalize on the cluster-based organization and trust-based authentication, thereby facilitating energy-efficient and secure data transmission. The proposed algorithm and authentication mechanism Cluster and Optimal Routing Assisted Cryptograph (CORAC) are implemented within a simulated network environment to validate their efficacy. Performance evaluation is conducted through simulation studies, focusing on key metrics such as packet delivery ratio, energy consumption, and security effectiveness. This comprehensive approach aims to address the dual challenges of energy efficiency and data security in cluster-based networks, offering a promising solution for future deployments in various applications.

Published: October 2024

The chapter explores the diversity of menopausal experiences and the intersectionality of menopause with characteristics such as race, gender, social class, disability, and trauma. We explore how it can be difficult to navigate the intersections of sex, gender, and health in conversations like these; many experiential factors are inherently linked to the gendered experiences of women. However, not all who have menopause are women and not all women have menopause. This highlights the need for inclusive conversations about the menopause and the role of Menopause Cafes® in promoting these. Menopause Cafe is a charity running group-directed discussions over tea and cake aimed at breaking down the taboos around menopause, they are open to all ages and genders.

Providence in the Letters and Speeches of Oliver Cromwell
Authors: KEEBLE N H
Published: October 2024

Cromwell’s belief in providential history and in a directly interventionist God discerned in 17th-century events the recurrence of biblical, and largely Old Testament, patterns whose binary taxonomy brooks no concession to evil. It was with the battle-cry ‘The Lord of Hosts’ that, like all the martial heroes of Israel, Cromwell was victorious. He denied any agency on his part, insisting to the Parliaments of the 1650s on the providential import of recent history, but his repeated protestation that ‘I called not myself to this place’ became increasingly problematic. While victory in war against the odds may well seem providential, in the later 1640s and 1650s the invocation of Providence as an explanatory, justificatory, and apologetic trope on behalf of contentious, disruptive, and forceful political interventions in Parliamentary proceedings implicated the divine will in individual political choices in ways that threatened to construct not Cromwell as Providence’s agent but rather Providence as his.
Slavery in John Taylor
Authors: WITHINGTON PHIL
Published: October 2024

This chapter examines how the ‘water poet’ John Taylor used the language of slavery over the course of his long and colourful publishing career. It argues that Taylor used such vocabulary much more often – and much more interestingly – before 1640 than after 1640. Especially in the 1610s and 1620s, Taylor evoked a range of enslavements both within English society and beyond. These spanned from addiction to money and wealth, to everyday servilities and insults, to the dangers posed by non-Christian societies. This usage indicates the ubiquity of the language by the early 17th century and the very real social and cultural anxieties it reflected. After 1640, Taylor’s concern with slavery narrowed to the more familiar problem of political tyranny, the pressures of civil war eliding the term’s socio-economic and cultural semantics at precisely the moment the English resorted to slavery as an institution of transatlantic political economy.

Authors:   Community Health Officer, Sub-center, Govt. of Haryana, India, Renu - , Deepak - , Devi Akoijam Mamata , Sonam K M
Published: October 2024

Background: Childbirth is a significant life event often associated with various physiological and psychological challenges, particularly for primigravida mothers, who undergo the process for the first time. Intrapartum coping behavior, encompassing psychological responses and coping strategies during labor and delivery, profoundly influences maternal well-being and birth outcomes. Child Birth Preparedness Programme (CBPP) aim to equip expectant mothers with essential knowledge and skills to navigate the birthing process effectively. Objective: The primary objective was to determine the effect of the CBPP on intrapartum coping behavior among primigravida mothers. Methods: A quantitative research approach was adopted, utilizing a quasi-experimental design. The study population comprised primigravida mothers at 38 weeks of gestation in the MCH wards of SGT Hospital. Purposive sampling was used to select 60 participants, with 30 in the control and experimental groups each. Data were collected using a standardized labor coping scale and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The CBPP significantly improved coping behavior among primigravida mothers, with the experimental group exhibiting higher coping scores compared to the control group (mean score: 4.07 vs. 2.53, p < 0.05). Demographic variables such as education, husband's education, occupation, and knowledge regarding CBPP were associated with coping behavior. Conclusion: The study demonstrates the positive impact of CBPP on intrapartum coping behavior among primigravida mothers. Educational interventions and enhancing knowledge about CBPP can further improve coping strategies during childbirth. These findings underscore the importance of tailored childbirth preparation programs in promoting maternal well-being during labor and delivery.

Объект исследований – макаронные изделия, обогащённые тонкодисперсной мукой из гречихи и чечевицы, и комплексом нанонокарбоксилатов.
По данным аналитиков, потребление макаронных изделий в Казахстане — одно из самых высоких в мире, Казахстан уступает в этом только Италии. За январь – декабрь 2022 года производство макарон составило 166,1 тыс. тонн, что на 4% больше, чем в 2021 году [1].
Учитывая, что макаронные изделия популярны и потребляются в большом количестве, имеется возможность реально и эффективно проводить профилактику различных видов заболеваний с помощью выпуска изделий с использованием обогащающих комплексов микроэлементов и витаминов. Тем более, что основным сырьем для производства макарон является «обедненная» пшеничная мука высшего сорта. В то же время, продукты питания серьёзно дорожают, что неизбежно сказывается на продовольственной безопасности республики [1].
В этой связи необходима разработка отечественных технологий производства обогащённых макаронных изделий, что позволит повысить их конкурентоспособность за счет снижения себестоимости.
В рамках исследований получены макаронные изделия, обогащенные наиболее ценной по содержанию белка и клетчатки чечевичной и гречневой тонкодисперсной мукой в количестве 10%. Для обогащения макаронных изделий микро- и макроэлементами произведен подбор и расчет рецептур нанокарбоксилатов с установлением их количества, исходя из норм потребления человека. По химическому и микроэлементному составу определены наиболее полноценные добавки.
Результаты исследований позволили установить, что потребительские свойства макаронных изделий, обогащенных гречневой тонкодисперсной мукой, соответствуют нормативным показателям. Комплекс нанокарбоксилатов не повлиял на потребительские свойства макарон, но значительно увеличил содержание магия и цинка.

Аңдатпа. Тау жыныстары массивтерінің жарылғыш ыдырауындағы Прогресс тікелей тау-кен кәсіпорындарында, Ұңғымаларды тиеу техникасы мен технологиясында өндірілетін жарылғыш компоненттері жоқ құрамдарды дамыту бағытындағы ВВ эволюциясымен байланысты.
Өнеркәсіптік ВВ-мен салыстырғанда эмульсиялық ВВ тиімдірек, бұл жоғары зарядтау тығыздығына және соның салдарынан жарылыс энергиясының көлемдік концентрациясының және ұңғыма зарядтарының жарылу жылдамдығының жоғары мәндеріне байланысты. Нәтижесінде ЭВВ күшті тау жыныстары үшін қолайлы кернеу толқындарының алдыңғы жағындағы қысымның жоғарылауымен ғана емес, сонымен қатар сұйық фазаның (эмульсияның) болуына байланысты оны ұзақ уақыт бойы ұстап тұрады, бұл зарядтан алыстау кезінде ұсақтау тиімділігін арттырады.
Эксперименттік зерттеулермен ANFO кешенінде ЭВВ қолданған кезде біртектілікке қатысты аралас зарядтың жұмыс қабілеттілігін 15% - ға ұлғайту есебінен жоғары жиектері бар жағдайларда бұрғылау-жару жұмыстарының тиімділігі жоғарылайтыны, кендер мен сыйымды жыныстар шекарасыныңмещысуы 1,5...2,0 есе азаятыны, ЖВ шығындарын 0,9% - ға төмендете отырып, тау массасының ұсақталу сапасы жақсаратыны дәлелденді%; жарылыс жұмыстарының НСИ-мен кешенде ЭВВ қолдануға ауысуымен тау жыныстарын ұсақтау сапасы үйіндідегі жарылған бөліктің орташа мөлшерінің 15,8% - ға және ЖВ шығындарының 0,8% - ға төмендеуімен жақсарады.

Muslim Political Dynamics Post-Tahkim: A Case Study of the Shiffin War
Authors: Hariyanto Muhsin , Khoirul Amin Mahfud
Published: October 2024

The Shiffin War, a battle that took place between the Ali bin Abi Talib group and the Mu'awiyah, was a war whose negative impact was felt by Muslims. In fact, in the view of historians, it has resulted in divisions among large groups of Muslims. Although it ended with him which was intended as an attempt to arbitrate between Muslims who were in conflict, it turned out that the effort just stared at the dissatisfaction between them, so three religious-political groups emerged that are still suspected to exist today as a continuation of the phenomenon of division at that time. The rise of Shi'a, Khawarij, and Sunni groups is understood by historians as the impact of the war. Because the awareness of ukhuwah among Muslims has not yet flourished, the division is still felt and there are no significant enough signs to subside, let alone leading to the awakening of ukhuwah consciousness which is marked by the desire to build a dialogue that is built with awareness to bridge the rift that occurs among Muslims, especially from their leaders.  Especially for interest groups who see that the tension between Muslims will give them political benefits. In fact, with the right spirit of ukhuwwah, the problem of division between Muslims can be solved.

Objective: Constipation is the infrequent and painful passage of hardened stools, occurring less than three times a week, often accompanied by excessive straining and discomfort. Functional constipation is the most important gastrointestinal complaint of childhood. Limited literature explores the correlation between functional constipation and infant nutrition. Our study aims to investigate the association between maternal and infant nutrition and functional constipation among infants between 1-4 months.
Method: The research is a cross-sectional study. Two groups involved cases from the pediatric clinic, which presented complaints of constipation within the age range of 1 to 4 months, and the control group, which consisted of individuals without any reported constipation issues. Mothers participating in the study completed a questionnaire comprising two sections: one focusing on patient assessment and the mother’s diet.
Results: The study encompassed seventy-five cases reporting constipation issues, with the control group comprising thirty cases. Functional constipation was most observed at 78 days of age. Children experiencing functional constipation exhibited lower weight and height values, demonstrating statistical significance. Additionally, 94.7% of infants facing defecation challenges had a history of meconium within the first 24 hours of birth. Factors such as alterations in familial defecation patterns and a history of constipation among first-degree relatives were notably higher in the case group. The incidence of functional constipation was notably elevated by cesarean section and those not receiving breast milk. Furthermore, maternal dietary habits indicated higher consumption of milk, fruit juice, yogurt, vegetables, and legumes among the healthy group, with statistically significant disparities observed.
Conclusion: Functional constipation in infants can associated with cesarean section, a high number of siblings, low parental education levels, familial history of altered defecation patterns, and constipation among first-degree relatives; additionally, formula feeding, maternal consumption of low-fiber foods, and inadequate fluid intake by the mother.

Objective: Suicide remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, according to the World Health Organization’s latest estimates. This study aims to evaluate sociodemographic data, the causes of suicide attempts, the methods employed in suicide attempts, and the factors that increase the likelihood of the recurrence of suicide attempts.
Method: This retrospective study was conducted among children who were hospitalized for attempting suicide between 2017 and 2022. Sociodemographic data, presence of a chronic illness or psychiatric disorder, substance abuse, reasons for suicide attempts, and the methods of suicide attempts were documented in the patients’ files.
Results: 114 children who attempted suicide (mean age 15.7 ±1.6 years, 93 female)) had been enrolled in the study. Most of those children were high school graduates (n=75, 65.8%). Almost all of the children attempted suicide by drug overdose, and 51.8% of them consumed multiple drugs. The most common drugs used for suicide attempts were antipsychotics (35.1%), antidepressants (32.5%), and analgesics/antipyretics (29.8%). Arguing with a family member was the most frequent reason for suicide attempts. Psychiatric disorder diagnosis was detected in 38.6% of the children, and depression was the most common prevalent psychiatric disorder. Important risk factors for the recurrence of suicide attempts were determined to be the presence of diagnosed psychiatric disorders (95%CI, 1.289-9.657; p=0.014) and a family history of attempted suicide (95% CI, 2.559-92.781; p=0.003).
Conclusion: Identifying the factors that contribute to suicide attempts in children and providing appropriate support and treatment are crucial for preventing suicide attempts, which are a serious health concern.
