Authors: Setyonagoro Permadi , Alfath Tahegga Primananda , Sutanto Slamet Hari , Mulyono Galih Puji
Published: December 2022

The modern rule of law is a basic concept in every government activity. In the development of state administration, government activities are no longer just implementing laws as described in the trias politica concept, but also attaching the authority to make regulations, a decision that is regulating as a legal forum for policies issued. This study aims to analyze the legal position of the head of service/agency regulations that have been used in the administration of local government. The research method used is legal research with a statue approach, and a conceptual approach. The result of this research is that the regulation of the head of the service/agency does not have a position in the legislation as intended in the Act. This study is a normative juridical study, which is aimed at examining legal principles, legal systematics, research on vertical and horizontal synchronization, legal comparisons, and legal history. The result of this research is that the regulation of the head of the service/agency that administers the regional government does not have a legal position in the hierarchy of laws and regulations as regulated in the Act. Material and formal regulations of the head of service/agency are not legal products that contain rageling material. The regulation issued as a form of discretion by the head of the service/agency should only be in the form of a circular letter.

Authors: Fatikha Alya Rizqi , Masykuroh Qanitah
Published: December 2022

This study aims to explore the types and meanings of figurative language in Taylor Swift’s song lyrics. On the surface level, figurative language cannot be translated literally. The study is descriptive qualitative, and the data are in the forms of figurative language taken from eight selected songs in Taylor Swift's album "Red" collected by documentation technique. The data are then analyzed using content analysis by referring to the framework of Knickerbocker Reninger’s theory (1985) on figurative language. From the analysis, there are 57 types of figurative language in the selected songs, namely hyperbole 31,5%, simile 19,3%, metaphor 17,5%, metonymy 5,3%, irony 3,5%, symbol 7,0%, personification 10,6%, paradox 3,5% and synecdoche 1,8%. Furthermore, the meaning of each figurative language used in the song lyrics is contextually explored and allied with the content of the song lyrics which conveys the various deep expressions of feeling and emotion of Taylor Swift as both a singer and a songwriter.

Published: December 2022

Objective The victims and their families of child sexual abuse (CSA) may confront persistent psychological sequela. We aimed to investigate the psychological symptoms, diagnosis, and family functions in children and adolescents with CSA.Methods We assessed the symptom scales at 6-month intervals, and conducted diagnostic re-assessments at 1-year intervals. Trauma Symptom Checklist for Children (TSCC), Trauma Symptom Checklist for Young Children (TSCYC), Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales IV (FACES-IV), and Family Communication Scale (FCS) scores were reported by children or parents.Results We found in parent-reported TSCYC, that posttraumatic stress symptoms domain scores significantly decreased with time progression. The scores decreased more in the evidence-based treatment group over time in anxiety and posttraumatic stress symptom domains of TSCC. In FACES-IV and FCS scores, indices of family function have been gradually increasing both after 6 months and after 1 year compared to the initial evaluation. Further, about 64% of the children diagnosed with psychiatric diseases, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) at the initial assessment maintained the same diagnosis at follow-up.Conclusion We observed changes in psychological symptoms and family functioning in sexually abused children with time progression during 1 year. It is postulated that PTSD may be a persistent major mental illness in the victims of CSA.

Published: December 2022

Objective In the triple-network model, the salience network (SN) plays a crucial role in switching between the default-mode network (DMN) and the central executive network (CEN). Aberrant patterns of triple-network connectivity have been reported in schizophrenia patients, while findings have been less consistent for patients in the early stages of psychotic disorders. Thus, the present study examined the connectivity among the SN, DMN, and CEN in first-episode psychosis (FEP) patients and individuals at clinical high risk (CHR) for psychosis.Methods Thirty-nine patients with FEP, 78 patients with CHR for psychosis, and 110 healthy controls (HCs) underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging. We compared the SN, DMN, and CEN connectivity patterns of the three groups. The role of the SN in networks with significant connectivity differences was examined by mediation analysis.Results FEP patients showed lower SN-DMN and SN-CEN (cluster-level F=5.83, false discovery rate [FDR] corrected-p=0.001) connectivity than HCs. There was lower SN-DMN connectivity (cluster-level F=3.06, FDR corrected-p=0.053) at a trend level in CHR subjects compared to HCs. Between HCs and FEP patients, mediation analysis showed that SN-DMN connectivity was a mediator between group and SN-CEN connectivity. Additionally, SN-CEN connectivity functioned as a mediator between group and SN-DMN connectivity.Conclusion Aberrant connectivity between the SN and DMN/CEN suggests disrupted network switching in FEP patients, although CHR subjects showed trend-level SN-DMN dysconnectivity. Our findings suggest that dysfunctional triple-network dynamics centered on the SN can appear in patients in the early stages of psychotic disorders.
Psychometric Properties of the Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF): A Study With Individuals With Schizophrenia Living in the Community
Authors: Lim Young-Jin
Published: December 2022

Objective The Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF) is widely used to measure positive mental health. This study is the first to examine the psychometric properties of the MHC-SF in persons with schizophrenia living in the community.Methods Two hundred thirty-one individuals with schizophrenia living in the community in South Korea filled out the MHC-SF. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), bifactor CFA, exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM), and bifactor ESEM were undertaken to examine the factor structure of the MHC-SF.Results Results showed that a three-factor bifactor ESEM model yielded better fit than the other alternative models. Indices of internal consistency reliability were acceptable.Conclusion The results suggest that bifactor ESEM is an appropriate analysis for examining the factor structure of the MHC-SF in individuals with schizophrenia. The findings support the use of the overall MHC-SF scale rather than the use of the subscales in people with schizophrenia.

İKİNCİ ABE İKTİDARINDA JAPONYA’DA GÖÇ POLİTİKASI AÇILIMININ SİYASİ BOYUTLARI: YABANCI BAKICI ALIMI ÖRNEĞİ
Authors: ERKAN Kıvılcım
Published: December 2022

Dünya’da birçok gelişmiş ülke nüfus yaşlanması ve işgücü eksikliğine bağlı olarak yabancı sağlık görevlisi kabul etmektedir. Dünya’da en hızlı nüfus yaşlanmasına sahip olan Japonya ise uzun yıllar yurt dışından yaşlı bakım görevlisi alımına karşı direnmiştir. Bu tutum Japonya’nın kapalı ve muhafazakâr göç politikasının bir uzantısı olarak görülmekteydi. Ancak, ikinci Abe iktidarı döneminde yabancı bakım görevlilerinin arttırılmasına yönelik oluşturulan yeni programlar ülkenin göç politikasında büyük bir açılmayı simgelemektedir. Bu yeni programlar sonucunda, bir yandan yabancı bakıcıların sayılarının büyük ölçüde artırılması ve bakıcıların geldikleri ülkelerin çeşitlendirilmesi hedeflenirken, diğer bir yandan ise onların kalıcı oturuma erişimleri yani Japon toplumunun kalıcı bir parçası haline gelmeleri mümkün kılınmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı Japonya’nın göç politikasında yaşanan bu dönüşüme sebep olan faktörlerin açıklığa kavuşturulmasıdır. Bu doğrultuda politika yapım süreci Japon hükümetinin yayımladığı raporlar, gazeteler ve diğer halka açık kaynaklar kullanılarak takip edilmiştir. Araştırmanın temel bulgusu, Japonya örneğinde göç politikası dönüşümüne sebep olan faktörlerin demografik ve ekonomik değişikliklerden ziyade siyasi olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Şinzo Abe tarafından aktif bir şekilde kullanılan başbakanlık merkezli politika yapım modeli, sağlık sektöründeki işçi sendikalarının çıkarlarını koruyan ve yabancı göçmen alımına yönelik muhafazakâr bir tutum sergileyen bürokratik aktörlerin ekarte edilmesine yol açmış ve ekonomik çıkar gruplarının talepleri doğrultusunda politika oluşturulmasını mümkün kılmıştır.

A la luz de Joaquina. Un siglo de mujeres de Estudios Semíticos en la Universidad de Granada
Authors: Caballero Navas Carmen
Published: December 2022

Aunque hoy nos parece que ser universitaria no tiene nada de especial, en realidad las mujeres no tuvieron (no tuvimos) acceso a la universidad en España hasta hace poco más de un siglo. La Universidad de Granada admitió su primera estudiante en 1910, tras la publicación ese mismo año de la real orden que reconocía el derecho de las mujeres a la enseñanza universitaria sin restricciones en nuestro país, y contrató a su primera profesora en 1925. Precisamente a una mujer que había hecho la especialidad en Estudios Semíticos, aunque su primer contrato fuera como profesora ayudante de clases prácticas adscrita a la asignatura de Teoría de la Literatura y de las Artes. Se llamaba Joaquina Eguaras Ibáñez (Orbaiceta, Navarra, 1897 – Granada, 1981).

Social well-being is a condition where a community feels safe and comfortable living their lives without any constraints from anyone. Hence, it is vital to discover the main elements contributing to a community's social well-being in a multi-ethnic country. It will become the main guideline of how they want to be treated and helped. This systematic review aims to discover the social well-being elements through the lens of the Malay low-income group in Malaysia after 14th general election. Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method, thirteen related studies were identified from the Web of Science, Scopus databases and snowballing technique of related sources. Further review of the articles through qualitative analysis resulted in eight core themes on social well-being elements of Malay low-income group after GE-14, namelyhousing, religion, ethnic composure, health, management, environment, income, and education. These findings contribute to the enhancement of the field of social well-being, especially in a multi-ethnic democratic nation.
GREV VE LOKAVT YASAKLARI
Authors: KURT Suheyl Rebi
Published: December 2022

Demokratik ülkelerin en önemli özelliklerinden biri, kişilere menfaatlerini korumaları için hak tanımalarıdır. İş hukuku kapsamında baktığımızda, iş sözleşmelerinin taraflarına yani işçi ve işverenlere tanınmış önemli haklardan biri grev ve lokavttır. Ülkemizde bu haklar Anayasa ile güvence altına alınmıştır. Grev, işçilerin sosyal ve ekonomik haklarını korumak ve geliştirmek için işverene karşı kullandıkları bir haktır. Lokavt ise işverenin greve giren işçilere karşı kendi menfaatini korumak için kullanabileceği savunma niteliğinde bir haktır. Ancak grev ve lokavt sınırsız nitelikte değildir. Çünkü bazı grev veya lokavt hallerinde sadece işverenlerin veya işçilerin ekonomik çıkarları değil; üçüncü şahısların güvenlik ve sağlık gibi korunması gereken haklı menfaatleri, hatta kamu yararı da ağır olarak zedelenebilir. İşte bu gibi durumlarda grev ve lokavtın yasaklanması gündeme gelir. Belirtmek gerekir ki lokavt, greve bağlı olarak kullanılan bir hak olduğu için grev için getirilen yasaklar lokavt için de uygulanacaktır. Çağdaş hukuk sistemlerinde bu hakların kullanılması için taraflara en geniş biçimde olanak sağlayacak düzenlemeler yapılmaktadır. Ülkemizde de özellikle 6356 sayılı Sendikalar ve Toplu İş Sözleşmesi Kanunu ile daha özgürlükçü bir şekilde grev ve lokavt hakkı tanınmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu nedenle de grev ve lokavt yasaklarının olduğu iş ve işyerleri azaltılmıştır.
Technology vs privacy at work
Authors: Ásványi Zsófia
Published: December 2022

Employees' right to privacy and employers' extensive need for work-related information collide. The imbalance of authority between employers and employees and the doctrine of managerial prerogative determines the outcome of these competing interests, and therefore the right to privacy requires statutory protection. The study aims to examine the legislative (hard law) and law enforcement (soft law) achievements of European and Hungarian initiatives on organizational labor control mechanisms and to understand their possible limitations concerning the doctrine of managerial prerogative. The research method was a thematic document and literature review of appropriate legislation and case law records from the European Court of Human Rights, the Hungarian Supreme Court, and the Hungarian National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of Information. The research results confirmed our hypothesis: current legal instruments seem to limit the control mechanisms of organizations, both in terms of content and process. However, rapid technological innovations make employee privacy a moving target, where the law provides only temporary and limited protection.
A fuzzy logic model for evaluating the motivation for high-quality publications
Authors: Lambovska Maya
Published: December 2022

This paper proposes a fuzzy logic model for evaluating stakeholder motivation for high-quality publications. Conceptually, the model is based on stakeholder theory and Vroom's expectancy theory of motivation. Instrumentally, tools of fuzzy sets, fuzzy logic, and expert evaluations are at its core. The model is suitable for any university. Further, it reflects university specificity, using specific motivational factors in one of the evaluation procedures. The model easily evaluates the level of motivation by processing vague, subjective perceptions. It was applied at a Bulgarian university through a comprehensive survey that included 106 participants and performed well. The model contributes to the advancement of management science by theoretically enriching research management and organizational behaviour and complementing their tools. Expected practical implications are improved university management and better research results based on well-grounded decisions about research, people, and performance.

Authors: Kovtun K. , Veklenko Y. , Yashchuk V. , Zakhlebna T.
Published: December 2022

Purpose. To establish quality indicators of grass mass of the Sinyukha alfalfa variety, Constantine sainfoin variety, Sparta meadow clover by phases of growth and development of plants aimed at production of high-protein feeds. Methods. System, analysis, field, laboratory. Results. One of the important indicators that determines the quality of the green mass yield is the ratio of the mass of leaves and stems. This ratio largely determines the digestibility of feed. It was found that the foliage of legumes and the ratio of leaf mass and stems decreases from the branching to the flowering phase, which significantly affects some indicators of the biochemical composition of the mown green mass. When harvesting grasses in the early phase of branching, or in the late one of flowering of plants in the first mowing, the content of crude protein decreased from 21.0-26.3% to 14.0-17.2%, crude fat − from 3.4- 3.9% to 1.3-2.8% and crude fiber content increased from 17.5-18.0% to 25.3-27.8%, the proportion of leaf mass decreased from 46.2-48.5% to 22.3-29.9%, and stems, on the contrary, increased from 51.5-53.8% to 70.1-77.7% depending on the type of legume. Changes in the ratio of leaves and stems in the green mass during the growth and development phases of alfalfa, sainfoin and meadow clover also affected the nutritional value of fodder from these grasses. The supply of digestible protein of the feed unit decreased from 148.9-186.9 g in the branching phase to 78.5-100.2 g in the flowering phase of plants, and the content of feed units in each kilogram of dry matter of feed decreased from 0.90-0.93 to 0.57-0.66, respectively. It was found that concentration of metabolic energy in the dry matter of legumes harvested in the branching phase was 10.3-10.9 MJ/kg, and mowing them in the flowering phase led to a decrease of this indicator to 7.5-7.9 MJ/kg. Conclusions. It was found that the most high-protein and energetically nutritious food can be obtained when mowing the grass in the earlier growing season, which corresponds to the branching-budding phases. Later there observed a significant deterioration in feed quality, which is associated with a decrease in crude protein and metabolic energy and increase in crude fiber content in the dry matter of perennial legumes.

Published: December 2022

Purpose. To establish the influence of sowing norms and pre-sowing seed treatment on the formation of yield of grass mixtures of peas (spring) with oats in the western Forest-Steppe and to develop technological measures for growing annual legume-cereal agrophytocenoses. Methods. Field (phenological observations, accounting), laboratory (determination of green mass yield and dry matter), synthesis and analysis, mathematical and statistical. Results. Effectiveness of sowing of grass mixture, which includes spring peas of Tsvitan variety – 1.88 million seeds/ha (75% of the total sowing rate in single-species crops) and oats of Ant variety – 1.25 million seeds/ha (25% of the total sowing rate in single-species crops) for the formation of highly productive stands, which provides 26.5 t/ha of green mass and 5.7 t/ha of dry matter was proven. The high effectiveness of pre-sowing treatment of seeds of legume component with Humifild, and cereals – with Polimiksobacterin, which provides a 3.30-4.10 t/ha green mass yield and 1.09-1.25 t/ha dry matter increase compared to the control (without processing). Conclusions. In conditions of natural humidification of the western Forest-Steppe, the most productive technological method of growing annual fodder mixtures is the option with pea seeds (1.88 million seeds/ha, or 75% of the total sowing rate in single-species crops) treatment with growth stimulator Humifild and oat seeds (1.25 million seedlings/ha, or 25% of the total sowing rate in single-species crops) – with microbiological preparation Polymyxobacterin where 32.1 t/ha of leaf and stem mass and 7.26 t/ha of dry matter were on average for the three years obtained.

Published: December 2022

Purpose. To establish changes in the chemical composition of forage of alfalfa-cereal agrophytocenoses with different cereal components under the influence of fertilizers, liming and mowing terms of grass on dark gray soils of the Forest-Steppe zone of Ukraine. Methods. General scientific – hypotheses, inductions and deductions, analogies, generalizations, and special – field, laboratory, analytical, mathematical-statistical, computational-comparative. Results. The results of research on the content of alfalfa, alfalfa-cereals with various cereal components of organic matter grasses, its nutritional value, energy intensity and changes in chemical composition by vegetation phases during the formation of the first mowing are presented. Conclusions. Under the action of symbiotic nitrogen in alfalfa and alfalfa-grass stands compared to grass stands on the background without nitrogen in the dry mass of feed the content of crude protein by 5.4-7.0%, nutritional value of feed by feed units – by 14-21%, energy content in terms of metabolic energy content – by 0.6-1.3 MJ/kg, digestibility of dry matter in vitro by 2-5% increases, and the content of nitrogen-free extractives decreases by 1.6-4.5%. With the aging of grasses in the formation of the crop in the first mowing for 50 days from May 1 to June 19 in alfalfa, alfalfa and cereal grasslands with a decrease in the proportion of leaves in the grass from 87-94% to 26-31% in dry weight the content of crude protein decreased from 24.1- 25.5 to 11.7-16.1% with a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.930-941 and crude fiber content increased from 16.1- 19.2% to 29.0-33,1% with r (-0.925) - (- 949). During this period, the average daily decrease in the dry matter content of crude protein (0.25%) and the average daily increase in the content of crude fiber (0.28%) is faster in grassland than in alfalfa and alfalfa-cereal (0.19 and 0.24% respectively).
Addressing Cardiovascular Disparities in Racial/Ethnic Populations: The Blood Pressure-Lowering Effects of SGLT2 Inhibitors
Authors: Nasser Samar A. , Arora Neha , Ferdinand Keith C.
Published: December 2022

The racial/ethnic disparities in cardiometabolic risk factors and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are prominent in non-Hispanic Black adults and other United States (U.S.) sub-populations, with evidence of differential access and quality of health care. High blood pressure (BP) is the most potent and prevalent risk factor for adverse cardiovascular (CV) outcomes across all populations globally, but especially in the non-Hispanic Black adults in the U.S. The use of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) demonstrate favorable effects in patients with and without type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in CVD especially for heart failure (HF), as the contemporary clinical practice recommendations and standards of care advocate. The beneficial effects of SGLT2is have been most profoundly documented with HF, including reduced (HFrEF) or preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), and chronic kidney disease (CKD) with T2DM. Given that hypertension (HTN), CVD, HF, and CKD are significantly greater in certain racial/ethnic populations, the potential impact of SGLT2is will be more significant on the excess cardiometabolic and renal disease, especially in the Black patients. Moreover, there is a need for increased diverse representation in clinical trials. Inclusion of larger members of various racial/ethnic populations may assure that new and emerging data accurately reflect the diversity of the U.S. population. This review highlights potential benefits of SGLT2is, as noted in the most recent literature, and their BP-lowering impact on potentially reducing CV disparities, especially in Black adults. Furthermore, this commentary emphasizes the need to increase diversity in clinical trials to reduce the disparity gaps.
Anthropometric Measures and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease: Is there an Opportunity for Non-Traditional Anthropometric Assessment? A Review
Authors: Carrión-Martínez Aurora , Buckley Benjamin J R , Orenes-Piñero Esteban , Marín Francisco , Lip Gregory Y. H , Rivera-Caravaca José Miguel
Published: December 2022

Background: Several anthropometric measurements are used to assess cardiovascular risk and progress during clinical treatment. Most commonly used anthropometric measurements include total body weight and body mass index (BMI), with several other simple anthropometric measures typically underused in clinical practice. Herein, we review the evidence on the relationship between different anthropometric measurements and cardiovascular risk in patients with and without cardiovascular disease (CVD). Methods: Data for this review were identified by searches in PubMed, the Web of Science, Google Scholar, and references from relevant articles by using appropriate and related terms. The last search was performed on June 22, 2022. Articles published in English and Spanish were reviewed and included, if appropriate. We included studies detailing the relationship between skinfolds thickness, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and Conicity index with cardiovascular risk in adults with/without CVD. Results: In patients from the general population, elevated subscapular and triceps skinfolds showed a positive relationship with the development of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, cardiovascular mortality, and all-cause mortality. A higher subscapular skinfold was also associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease and stroke. A higher WHR, as well as other less common anthropometric measurements such as the Conicity index, was associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction, incident CVD, major adverse cardiovascular events, and mortality in both patients with and without previous CVD. Conclusions: Non-traditional anthropometric measurements including skinfolds and WHR seem to improve the prediction of cardiovascular risk in the general population, and recurrent events in patients with previous CVD. Use of additional anthropometric techniques according to an objective and standardized method, may aid cardiovascular risk stratification in patients from the general population and the evaluation of therapeutic interventions for patients with CVD.

Background: There are almost 2 million adult patients with congenital heart disease in China, and the number of moderate and severe patients is increasing. However, few studies have investigated the risk of serious adverse events (SAE) after catheterization among them. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for SAE related to cardiac catheterization and to provide the risk scoring model for predicting SAE. Methods: A total of 690 patients with moderate and severe adult patients with congenital heart disease (ACHD) who underwent cardiac catheterization in Wuhan Asian Heart Hospital Affiliated to Wuhan University of Science and Technology from January 2018 to January 2022 were retrospectively collected and subsequently divided into a modeling group and a verification group. A univariate analysis was performed on the identified SAE risk factors, and then significant factors were included in the multivariate logistic regression model to screen for independent predictors of SAE. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test were used to evaluate the discrimination and calibration of the model, respectively. Results: A SAE occurred in 69 (10.0%) of the 690 catheterization procedures meeting inclusion criteria. The established SAE risk calculation formula was logit(p) = –6.134 + 0.992 × pulmonary artery hypertension (yes) + 1.459 × disease severity (severe) + 2.324 × procedure type (diagnostic and interventional) + 1.436 × cTnI (≥0.028 μg/L) + 1.537 × NT-proBNP (≥126.65 pg/mL). The total score of the final risk score model based on the effect size of each predictor was 0 to 7, involving pulmonary artery hypertension (1 point), disease severity (1 point), procedure type (2 points), cTnI (1 point) and NT-proBNP (2 points), and the score greater than 3 means high risk. The C-statistic of the area under the ROC curve was 0.840 and 0.911 for the derivation and validation cohorts, respectively. According to the Hosmer-Lemeshow test, the p values in the modeling group and the verification group were 0.064 and 0.868, respectively. Conclusions: The risk prediction model developed in this study has high discrimination and calibration, which can provide reference for clinical prediction and evaluation of SAE risk after cardiac catheterization in patients with moderate and severe ACHD.

Background:Data from the World Health Organization (WHO) show that pregnant women experience anxiety by 8-10% during pregnancy, and it increases to 13% when they are about to give birth. The incidence of anxiety in pregnant women in Indonesia reaches 373,000, 28.7% of which anxiety occurs in pregnant women when facing childbirth. Sustained anxiety will increase the likelihood of cesarean section, prolonged second stage, asphyxia and affect fetal neurodevelopment and fetal cognitive. One of the physical exercises that can reduce anxiety is prenatal yoga. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the intensity of prenatal yoga participation on the level of anxiety of pregnant women in the third trimester in facing childbirth in Kartasura District.Methods: Cross-sectional study design. The population in this study were all third trimester pregnant women who did prenatal yoga and did prenatal checkups at midwife Wulan, Anik Midwife Health House and Auliya Husada Clinic with a total population of 42 people. The sample of this study used accidental sampling and total sampling. The research instrument used the Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale (PASS), and used univariate and bivariate data analysis with the Spearman test.Results: A total of 22 pregnant women who did not participate in prenatal yoga experienced severe anxiety by 54.6% (12 people), while of the 20 pregnant women who participated in prenatal yoga, most experienced mild anxiety by 50% (10 people). Based on statistical tests using the Spearman test, p-value <0.05 was obtained.Conclusion: There is a relationship between the intensity of prenatal yoga participation on the level of anxiety of pregnant women in the third trimester in facing childbirth in Kartasura District.Suggestion: It is hoped that pregnant women who have not followed prenatal yoga regularly participate in prenatal yoga in order to reduce discomfort and anxiety.

Establishing an efficient information sharing network among national agencies in maritime domain is of essential importance in enhancing the operational performance, increasing the situational awareness and enabling interoperability among all involved maritime surveillance assets. Based on various data-driven technologies and sources, the EU initiative of Common Information Sharing Environment (CISE), enables the networked participants to timely exchange information concerning vessel traffic, joint SAR & operational missions, emergency situations and other events at sea. In order to host and process vast amounts of vessels and related maritime data consumed from heterogeneous sources (e.g. SAT-AIS, UAV, radar, METOC), the deployment of big data repositories in the form of Data Lakes is of great added value. The different layers in the Data Lakes with capabilities for aggregating, fusing, routing and harmonizing data are assisted by decision support tools with combined reasoning modules with semantics aiming at providing a more accurate Common Operational Picture (COP) among maritime agencies. Based on these technologies, the aim of this paper is to present an end-to-end interoperability framework for maritime situational awareness in strategic and tactical operations at sea, developed in EFFECTOR EU-funded project, focusing on the multilayered Data Lake capabilities. Specifically, a case study presents the important sources and processing blocks, such as the SAT-AIS, CMEMS, UAV components, enabling maritime information exchange in CISE format and communication patterns. Finally, the technical solution is validated in the project’s recently implemented maritime operational trials and the respective results are documented.

This study examined the influence of the disruption of COVID-19 on maritime shipping activities in Africa. Particular attention was paid to the variations in the performance of selected African countries in container ship calls, container throughput, and liner shipping connectivity between 2019 and 2020. Eighteen (18) African countries were selected from all the geographical regions of the continent based on data availability. Secondary data was drawn from records of maritime trade in the publications of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) (2019, 2020, and 2021) as well as World Bank Development Indicators for the selected countries. Explorative data analysis was used to organize and present the data. Results showed that the North African region alone recorded an improved percentage of container ship calls in 2020 than in 2019. Results by individual countries showed that Ghana recorded the highest positive increase in ship calls in 2020 from her record in 2019. In addition, Morocco, recorded the highest container throughput in 2020 than the record in 2019 while all the countries exhibited a winding record of liner connectivity between the last quarter of 2019 through the last quarter of 2020.
The study concluded that the disruption of maritime activity by the COVID-19 pandemic had a mixed impact on African countries’ performance. However, Africa has the potential to be more resilient to unforeseen shocks and become competitive if it is more integrated into the global supply chain and deploys modern and efficient technology and innovation to the shipping business more than it ever did.
FINANCIAL COPING MECHANISMS AND HOUSEHOLD DECISION-MAKING FOLLOWING AN INJURY-RELATED HEALTH SHOCK: IMPLICATIONS FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF UNIVERSAL HEALTH COVERAGE IN VIETNAM
Authors: Anna Taber Niloufer
Published: December 2022

In a context of imperfect risk protection, households may protect against the impact of a health shock by employing various financial and non-financial coping mechanisms, such as foregoing or reducing needed medical care, labor substitution, consumption reduction, borrowing money, dissaving, and selling assets. However, leveraging certain coping mechanisms may reduce future productivity, potentially trapping households in chronic or persistent poverty. Resources and risk are not necessarily shared equitably within a household; the ability and willingness of the household to leverage coping mechanisms, or the choice of coping mechanism may depend on the social protection policy context, household socioeconomic status, and type of intrahousehold risk sharing. Vietnam has been making policy changes aimed towards achieving Universal Health Coverage for the past several decades, culminating in a 2015 change mandating universal insurance coverage. This can potentially influence both providers in making decisions around service delivery and households around financing care. This research aims to contribute to the literature exploring the relationships among direct and indirect health care costs, potentially maladaptive coping mechanisms, and household living standards, within the particular health financing and social protection environment in Vietnam.
