Screen Time Woes: Social Media Posting, Scrolling, Externalizing Behaviours, and Anxiety in Adolescents
Authors: Choi Eun Jung , Christiaans Ella , Duerden Emma
Published: November 2024

Adolescent screen time use increased exponentially during the pandemic. While excessive social media usage and prolonged screen time have been recognized as risk factors for internalizing and externalizing behaviours in adolescents, there remains limited understanding regarding pre-existing contributing factors that can predispose some adolescents to adverse outcomes. In the current study, screen use behaviours in adolescents were examined in relation to pre-existing vulnerabilities and mental health outcomes such as anxiety, emotional and behavioural difficulties. A community-based sample of 580 adolescents aged 12 to 17 participated in an online survey to assess screen use behaviour from December 2022-August 2023. Demographic data, pre-existing vulnerabilities, screen use, emotional and behavioural difficulties and anxiety were collected using self-report questionnaires. Screen-use behaviours such as frequency of screen use, total time spent on screens, passive scrolling, and content posting on social media were analyzed across weekdays and weekends. Notably, about 45% of adolescents without pre-existing vulnerabilities reported anxiety at a clinical range. The risk analysis revealed that weekday screen time exceeding two hours increases risks on clinically-elevated anxiety two times and emotional and behavioural difficulties fourfolds. Among different types of screen use behaviours, passive scrolling was associated with clinically-elevated anxiety while controlling for age, gender and pre-existing vulnerabilities. Managing screen time and activities based on individual mental health profiles, particularly regarding anxiety levels, could be beneficial for adolescents' well-being.
Exploring the Socio-economic Drivers of Child Labor: A Case Study of the Hotel Industry in Quetta, Balochistan
Authors: Ullah Abid
Published: November 2024

Child labor is a complex issue influenced by various socio-economic and political factors. This study aims to explore the socio-economic causes of child labor in Quetta, Balochistan, with a specific focus on the hotel and restaurant sector. Using a quantitative approach, the study surveyed 200 children employed in these industries through structured questionnaires. In addition, key informant interviews were conducted to gain deeper insights into the root causes of child labor. The findings reveal a strong correlation between child labor and the socio-economic conditions of the family. However, poverty alone does not account for the prevalence of child labor. The study distinguishes between two sets of factors: push factors (such as poverty, unemployment of adult family members, and the need to meet basic family needs) and pull factors (including parental pressure, family size, limited access to quality education, and cultural norms). The study concludes with practical recommendations for stakeholders to address the issue of child labor.

Authors: Khatri Bishnu Bahadur , Thapa Yogendra , Koirala Kamal Prasad
Published: November 2024

The relationship between poverty and education is complex and interdependent. Poverty limits access to quality schools and educational resources, leading to lower academic performance and class engagement. The main objective of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of poverty on class engagement and assignment submission. A cross-sectional survey method has been applied with a quantitative and positivist philosophical setting. The sample size of five hundred thirty was selected from 20 community schools in Jhapa and Morang through stratified sampling, where poverty identification was based on the Nepal Multidimensional Poverty Index (MMPI), 2021. Data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire, structured observation, and structured interviews, and were analyzed within a logistic regression framework using Stata 18.  From the collected data it is discovered that 90 percent of students are far from better learning resources and about 50 percent of students living in poverty have fewer opportunities to correct assignments regularly. The majority of poor students who do not complete homework within the deadline are punished physically. Similarly, more than 70 percent of students living in poverty have no access to interaction and learning support. Similarly, students living in poverty participate less actively in class during the submission and correction of assignments. Poverty-stricken students have not taken full advantage of their educational prospects. The study further suggests that quality education for students living in poverty is possible through the provision of quality educational resources, support to teachers and families, and the implementation of programs that address the specific needs of children.

It is still felt that the implementation of the Child Protection Law has not provided justice for victims. Apart from that, these regulations also cannot provide full guarantees of children's rights for victims. At least, through the two case studies raised by the author, it can be seen that there are several differences in the fulfillment of children's rights as victims. The legal research method used is empirical juridical using a case approach, conceptual approach and statutory regulations approach. The results of the research have found conclusions from both problem formulations. The guarantee of victim protection has not yet been realized in the Child Protection Law, so improvements are still needed to prevent disharmony. Implementation of guarantees for victim protection also cannot proceed according to procedures. This was because the prosecutor experienced several obstacles, namely the case files were incomplete and the victim witnesses could not be presented during the trial process. These obstacles can be minimized by the prosecutor working together with investigators, social workers, and creating strategies to fully guarantee the victims' rights.

Supraventricular ectopic beats and their rhythms can occur both in the presence and absence of heart disease, secondary to systemic diseases. Its arrhythmogenic mechanisms include enhanced automaticity, triggered activity, and anatomical changes or reentry mechanisms. The junctional region is the normal conduction pathway between atria and ventricles, and can be divided into three segments: atrioventricular node (AVN), Hissian node (HN) and bundle of His. A goat with a neoformation in the vulvar region went through an anesthetic procedure for incisional biopsy, urethral clearance and probing. As pre-anesthetic medication, midazolam (0.2 mg/kg) and morphine (0.1 mg/kg) were administered intravenously, induction with propofol (3 mg/kg), orotracheal intubation and maintenance with isoflurane. Epidural anesthesia was performed in the lumbosacral region with lidocaine (4 mg/kg) and morphine (0.1 mg/kg). Trans-anesthetic monitoring was performed with electrocardiogram (evaluating rhythm and heart rate), pulse oximetry, capnography and invasive mean arterial pressure (MAP), in addition to observing protective reflexes to monitor the anesthetic plane. Upon notice of hypotension and junctional rhythm on the electrocardiogram, 0.04 mg/kg of atropine was administered intravenously (IV), resuming sinus rhythm after application. During the change, no P wave was observed and, after the administration of atropine, the P wave appeared for a few minutes before returning to the junctional rhythm, which was maintained until the end of anesthesia and in the immediate postoperative period.

Published: November 2024

Feline Hyperesthesia, also known as rippling skin disease or rolling skin disease, is a neuromuscular disorder in cats characterized by abnormal behavior and increased skin sensitivity. Conventional treatment typically includes medication to reduce the frequency and severity of episodes. However, complementary therapies have shown potential as an effective alternative, especially given the side effects associated with conventional medications. Under this perspective, homeopathy has emerged as a significant therapeutic tool. This case report presents the homeopathic treatment of a 20-month-old cat diagnosed with Feline Hyperesthesia. The homeopathic medicines prescribed were Apis mellifera, Hypericum perforatum, Natrum muriaticum, and Staphysagria, following the principles of pathogenetic similarity and the Law of Similars. After 30 days of treatment, the cat exhibited fewer, shorter episodes of hyperesthesia and, after 180 days, the animal was symptom-free. The patient remains asymptomatic, totaling 460 days without any episodes. This case highlights the potential of homeopathy as a therapeutic option for treating Feline Hyperesthesia.
Study of A Spiritual Pedagogic Concept Based on A Western Perspective and The Hadith of The Qur'an and Its Implications
Authors: Ulayyah Nurrena , Abdussalam Aam
Published: November 2024

The rise of crime cases that occur among students shows that current educational progress does not go hand in hand with the morals of students. This is because the learning activities carried out only focus on the cognitive and psychomotor aspects of students and tend to ignore the affective side of students. Therefore, a study of spiritual pedagogy as a way to develop students' effectiveness needs to be done. This study aims to examine the concept of spiritual pedagogy based on the Western perspective and the Qur'an and hadith and its implications for IRE learning. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach with a literature study method, namely through books, journals, and sources related to spiritual pedagogy. From this study, it was found that spiritual pedagogy, both according to the western perspective and the Qur'an and hadith both involves values ​​in its implementation. The difference is that values ​​in a western perspective can come from culture, religion, or knowledge. Meanwhile, based on the Qur'an and hadith, the value in question is the values ​​that already exist in humans, not external values ​​which are then crammed into them.

Quantitative approach was employed with nonequivalent quasiexperimental pretest-posttest research design and one-shot case study. The population of this study was all class IV students at the fourth-grade students at elementary school in the 2023/2024 academic year using cluster random sampling technique. Smart PLS 4 was used for data analysis. The research results are based on the inner model test with a significance value of < 0.005 (0.000 < 0.005). These results show that there is a difference in the average creative thinking skill scores after using the project-based learning model based on differentiation learning. Based on this, it can be concluded that the project-based learning model based on differentiation learning has an influence on creative thinking skills. Recommendations for future research include exploring the long-term effects of this model on creative thinking skills and its applicability in diverse educational contexts. Additionally, investigating the impact of different types of projects and differentiation strategies on various aspects of creative thinking can provide deeper insights. Implications of this study suggest that educators should consider incorporating project-based learning models that emphasize differentiation to foster creative thinking skills. Such approaches can enhance student engagement and learning outcomes, preparing students better for complex problem-solving tasks in their future academic and professional endeavors.

Customer experience research predominantly anchors the customer journey on a specific offering, implying an inherently customer-centric perspective. To address calls for a more goal-oriented approach, this study aims to develop an educational institutional view of customer journeys from the perspective of doctoral students. In a qualitative study, nineteen doctoral students were interviewed. Two independent researchers used triple coding and thematic analysis to unpack the experiences grounded by the perspective of the self-regulation model of a behaviour feedback loop. The findings suggest two pre-journey themes: supervisor selection and personal concerns, and three during-journey themes, namely, research complexity, administrative hurdles, and personal and social support struggles. The informants had pleasant experiences during the phase of the customer journey, expressing a favourable inclination towards trust and value. Nevertheless, they had difficulties in locating appropriate supervisors as a result of insufficient organised information. Several informants have reported suffering signs of depression, which can potentially result in serious consequences, specifically self-inflicted damage. Although the present study is not statistically generalizable to a broader population, the results are suitable and relevant for educational institutions that prepare doctoral students for rich and meaningful experiences in their doctoral journey. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is among the very few studies that unfold the experiences among doctoral students in higher institutions using a customer journey map while building upon a self-regulation model of a behaviour feedback loop. It shows how higher education institutions should ensure what is offered meets the demands and preferences of students while considering their contemporary needs and wants. These institutions should extend their view beyond the immediate goals of their students to identify relevant touchpoints and other customer journeys that affect the students’ experience.
What is the right postsecondary course for people with special needs?
Authors: Shiva Chetan
Published: November 2024

In India, many students with disabilities are entering universities because of better academic preparation, improved transition planning and scholarship programs. On the one hand, many students with disabilities are enrolling in science and applied science courses at the postsecondary level due to the monetary awards and job securities attached to these courses. In developing countries, these students are from low and middle classes, and these students are motivated by monetary factors to enter science courses, whereas in developed countries, students are motivated by various factors, such as passion for science, fame and hawking factors, to enter science courses. Upon completion of these courses, these students are unable to find decent jobs because decisions to enroll in science courses have no relevance to a scientific paradigm. In fact, within the paradigm of special education, reading and writing instructions are focal points, and very little is done on science subjects in secondary classes. In India, many educational boards waive science and mathematics papers for students with disabilities at the secondary level because of the complexity of these subjects. Therefore, the vast majority of students with disabilities have no sound knowledge of mathematics and science to enroll in science and applied science courses at the postsecondary level. A survey of the literature suggests that the vast majority of students with disabilities are poor in science and good in management and nonscience, such as arts, humanities, social sciences and law. On the other hand, students with disabilities are enrolling in nonscience courses and finding decent jobs. This paper argues that different types of disabilities require different postsecondary courses. To do that, researchers will use the regression method. Job status is a categorical dependent variable that takes two values. The type of disability is an independent variable and takes three values: mild, moderate and severe. The type of postsecondary education is an independent variable, and three values, i.e., nonscience and science, are used. The mathematical score at ten grades was used as an independent variable. In addition, grade average points at the undergraduate level constitute an independent variable. The sample size for this study was 150 adults with disabilities with a college degree.

Postpartum depression (PPD) has a high prevalence worldwide and adversely impacts both family and society. This study focuses on the association between parenting competence (PC), ruminative thinking (RT), and PPD among postpartum women, specifically examining the mediating role of RT. This quantitative study employed structural equation modeling and collected data using purposive sampling. Based on previous evidence,three-factor models require a minimum sample size of 86, though most studies recommend a value exceeding 200. After excluding missing data and outliers, the final sample consisted of 269 women, all within eight weeks postpartum, from three hospitals in China.The inclusion criteria were having at least a middle school diploma, voluntary participation, and no recent history of psychotherapy and medication treatment. The instruments used were the Edinburgh Depression Scale, Parenting Sense of Competence Scale, and Rumination Response Scale. The study sequentially performed descriptive statistics, tested measurement models and structural models, and calculated path coefficients. The results indicated that (i) PC negatively predicted PPD; (ii) PC negatively predicted RT; and (iii) RT positively predicted PPD. Furthermore, RT mediated the relationship between PC and PPD, with PC and RT exerting nearly equivalent effects on PPD. The study confirmed the impact of PC on PPD through RT among Chinese postpartum women. Both PC and RT are critical factors in PPD. The study establishes a structural framework for understanding the relationships between PC, PPD, and RT, emphasizing the significant roles of PC and RT in the development of PPD. This provides valuable insights into understanding the mechanisms of PPD and offering reference for future research. In practice,healthcare professionals and family members should consider these factors, particularly ruminative thinking. By improving treatment plans and care strategies, they can reduce the incidence of postpartum depression and enhance the quality of life for postpartum women.
