Scanning the horizon: How might the psychological needs of the older adult population change in the recovery stage of the Covid-19 pandemic? Part two: Covid-19 and PTSD
Authors: Cole Kristina , Patterson Christopher Wynne
Published: March 2024

This document was developed by clinical psychologists working in community older adult mental health services during Covid-19. Born out of discussions about what the profession should expect during the recovery phase, the present authors decided to write a document to inform and guide those working in psychological services on identifying and working with changes in the population’s mental health needs. This document focuses on the likely role of clinical psychology and is structured in two parts. The second part addresses the potential for patients to experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and how we can assess and treat PTSD in these populations.
Working with social isolation and loneliness in older people’s mental health services
Authors: Newman Loveday , Desai Roopal , Lafortune Louise , Gaskell Alistair , Duschinsky Robbie
Published: March 2024

Isolation and loneliness are common problems in both older people and individuals with mental health problems. However, little research has focused on how these issues might be addressed in clinical practice with older adults with complex mental health problems. Here we set out to understand how social isolation and loneliness present and how they could be better addressed from the perspective of older adults with complex mental health problems and the clinicians working with them. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine healthcare professionals and 11 service-users from an older people’s mental health team and analysed using reflexive-thematic analysis. Results showed that professionals found social isolation easier to understand and work with than loneliness and tended to address both issues by targeting behaviours (i.e. what service-users could do differently). The psychological dimensions of loneliness (i.e. service users’ thoughts and feelings) received less attention, although service-users emphasised these aspects. Other themes included the challenges faced by professionals in fostering social connections because of limited resources. We conclude that a greater awareness of the psychological dimensions of loneliness in older people with complex mental health problems is needed, as well as the resource challenges faced in creating social connections beyond mental health services.
The risk of being older: Working with risk in older adults mental health services
Authors: Olgiati Elena , Nagra Navneet
Published: March 2024

When working as healthcare professionals, we incorporate an array of narratives and structures which come with the role. It is our clinical responsibility to acknowledge and name different factors at play in different conditions, and we are trained to work and support teams with constructs such as vulnerability and power. Working with older people, other dynamics entering the picture are ageing, dementia and frailty. Risk is another example of such forces, an overarching concept which we need to be constantly aware of as professionals. This article will explore the concept of risk and what it means to be working with risk in community-based care for older people. The aim is to generate a conversation about common risks in the older population, challenging assumptions and offering a space for reflection on how to best explore and support.
Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI): Evaluating a new treatment pathway for service users and carers
Authors: Batten Derek , Bentivoglio Koralia
Published: March 2024

The prevalence of MCI is increasing in older adults; living with MCI not only negatively affects older people’s daily living and quality of life, but also increases the likelihood of developing dementia in the future. However, not all individuals will progress to dementia, which highlights the importance of developing preventative strategies and appropriate interventions to delay the onset of dementia. Given the current emphasis across the healthcare system on the need for psychosocial interventions that reduce the risk of dementia, the Specialist Dementia and Frailty Service (SDFS) in West Essex has launched a new MCI pathway, which runs as a pilot for one year to offer support for individuals with MCI and their caregivers. The current service evaluation aims to evaluate older people’s and their carers’ experiences of receiving a diagnosis in conjunction with exploring ideas about what they would find helpful in terms of post diagnostic support. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with service users and their carers over the telephone. Service users had received an MCI diagnosis and were either awaiting an intervention from the pathway or had received some form of post diagnostic support. Data was collected through an interview schedule and analysed using thematic analysis (TA). Themes highlighted the varying emotional experiences of receiving the diagnosis, the confusing and ambiguous process of MCI, the helpful and less helpful aspects of the support received, and ideas for future support. Findings from the service evaluation fit with the wider MCI literature and research. Some implications for the memory service are discussed, including individualised support, peer support, additional regular check ins and follow ups from the service, and support for carers.

Many load-bearing elements of power plants are influenced by local heat flows and convective heat exchangers. Because of this, a deformed thermostress state is formed in the bearing elements in the form of a rod of limited length. Therefore, it is important to develop special computational algorithms and corresponding programs for automated research of rods of limited length. At the same time, the developed system must take into account the physical-mechanical and geometric characteristics of the studied core and the simultaneous presence of local convective heat exchange.This work uses the fundamental laws of energy saving. The developed calculation algorithm is implemented in the form of an IBM PC Python program. The results are presented in tables.

The current information landscape is overwhelming, making it challenging for individuals to extract pertinent details quickly. The sheer volume of data on the Internet poses difficulties in searching for and assimilating relevant information from diverse sources. The solution lies in the development of an automatic writing system to address these challenges effectively. Summary summarization, a crucial aspect of this framework, involves identifying and condensing the most important and useful information from a given dataset. The goal is to create a concise version while retaining the full purpose of the original data entry. The significance of this approach becomes apparent in the face of the daunting task of making sense of big data, streamlining the process and facilitating efficient extraction of meaningful insights.
Implementación de medidas cautelares innominadas en el proceso contencioso administrativo en Panamá
Authors: Vargas Reyes Eduardo
Published: March 2024

El proceso contencioso administrativo en Panamá tiene su génesis a partir de una normativa especial con la implementación de la Ley 135 (1943), misma que instituía la Jurisdicción Contenciosa Administrativa, regulándose así lo que constituía el procedimiento gubernativo y luego el procedimiento de control judicial de los llamados actos administrativos, este último concepto sobre el cuál básicamente se centra el marco de acción del control de legalidad en gran parte de nuestros países de Latinoamérica y por ende de Panamá.
Desde ese entonces y mediando tan sólo una modificación de esta ley en el transcurso de 80 años hasta nuestros días, este procedimiento contencioso administrativo solo contempla la suspensión del acto administrativo como única medida cautelar a fin de evitar que ante el grave riesgo que involucre o denote a los derechos subjetivos o intereses legítimos de alguna de las partes involucradas en un proceso de contencioso administrativo, puedan verse estos en serio riesgo al momento de resolver la Sala Tercera de la Corte Suprema de Justicia el fondo, haciendo que resulte ya para los efectos prácticos, un fallo ilusorio. De modo que no siempre la suspensión de los efectos del acto administrativo agota este propósito tuitivo, surgiendo la interrogante sobre la viabilidad de la aplicación de medidas que la doctrina y el derecho comparado identifica como innominadas y en caso afirmativo bajo qué parámetros o circunstancias.

Authors: Qiu Chenyue
Published: March 2024

Social media has assumed a pivotal role in contemporary society, significantly enhancing the convenience of daily lives. Nonetheless, the prevalence of toxic comments on social media platforms has led to varying degrees of harm for individuals. The conventional practice of manually categorizing and blocking such toxic comments has proven to be highly inefficient. To address this issue, this study employs artificial intelligence natural language processing technology to classify social media comments, offering a more effective solution. In the past few years, many algorithms for handling text classification tasks have been introduced and applied in various scenarios. In this work, the author used an LSTM model that can effectively handle long sequence dependency problems to implement text classification. This study achieved an accuracy of 99.4% after training on the Kaggle toxic comments datasets. During the training process, the training accuracy is greater than the validation accuracy while the validation loss is lower than the training loss. After training, the trained model can accurately predict an input sentence and the results are within the expected range.

Published: March 2024

In the era of information technology in education, personalised learning is becoming increasingly important, especially in the English learning process. An important aspect of facilitating personalised learning in English reading is the use of a reliable objective word difficulty classification system to quickly capture and understand reading difficulties and core concepts. The aim of this study was to use decision tree modelling to predict the general proficiency of the public in words with different attributes. In addition, a K-Means clustering algorithm was used to categorise words into five classes based on their level of difficulty. By adopting this approach, the prediction of word difficulty becomes both fast and objective, and by testing the accuracy of the model, it was found that our model achieved an accuracy of 0.95. Accurate classification of word difficulty will play an important role in facilitating personalised learning in English reading and improve the efficiency of English reading.

Authors: K Salma , L Kudagi , Mohan Pathapati , Chandra Vurimi , Haritha Manchi , Nelavala Anjani
Published: March 2024

Background: Anxiety transcends a natural emotion, evolving into a pathological condition with the potential to trigger cascading cardiovascular and psychiatric disorders. Although conventional allopathic medicine offers treatment options, concerns regarding their side effects and long-term efficacy remain prevalent. Medicinal plants contain natural compounds that may be promising sources of therapeutic drugs.

Aims and Objectives: This study aims to compare the anxiolytic potential of ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Ocimum sanctum (OS). The growing appeal of plant-based therapies for anxiety stems from perceived advantages in safety and tolerability compared to synthetic drugs.

Materials and Methods: The anxiolytic activity of aqueous and ethanolic extract of OS is evaluated with an elevated plus maze test. A total of 36 Wistar albino rats (150–200 g) were used and randomly divided into six groups of six animals each. The effects of the test drug at different doses, 100 and 200 mg/kg, were compared with the standard anxiolytic drug diazepam at 2 mg/kg body weight and the control group using distilled water at 0.5 mL/kg body weight.

Results: The behavioral changes suggested reduced anxiety and openarm exploration in plus-maze indicates reduced anxiety in animals treated with OS extracts. The changes are significantly (P < 0.001) comparable with the standard drug diazepam.

Conclusion: The ethanolic extracts of OS are more significant than aqueous extracts for evaluating anti-anxiety activity in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, ethanolic extracts are more likely to contain a wider range of bioactive compounds, which are thought to be responsible for the anti-anxiety effects of OS.

Published: March 2024

Bacteria are prolific at colonizing diverse surfaces under a widerange of environmental conditions, and exhibit fascinating examples of self-organization across scales. Though it has recently attracted considerable interest, the role of mechanical forces in the collective behavior of bacterial colonies is not yet fully understood. Here, we construct a model of growing rod-like bacteria, such as Escherichia coli based purely on mechanical forces. We perform overdamped molecular dynamics simulations of the colony starting from a few cells in contact with a surface. As the colony grows, microdomains of strongly aligned cells grow and proliferate. Our model captures both the initial growth of a bacterial colony and also shows characteristic signs of capturing the experimentally observed transition to multilayered colonies over longer timescales. We compare our results with experiments on E. coli cells and analyze the statistics of microdomains.

Published: March 2024

Crop yield prediction focuses mostly on agricultural research, which have an enormous impact on taking decisions for example import-export, price, along with crop management. Soil is the main component and plays a significant role in agriculture. Based on the nutrients and pH value of the soil, crop yielding is determined. Farmers are still using traditional approach to analysis the soil quality. The techniques like Data Mining, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep learning and Predictive Analytics are the emerging technologies in research to improve the agricultural field. Predictive analysis is a technique of machine learning that predicts the future outcomes and analysis is based on the historical or past data. In agriculture, predictive analytics helps to predict or identify the soil nutrients level required for the crops like Paddy, Raagi, etc., Predicting the crop yield well ahead of its harvest would help farmers and market contractors strategize befitting actions to market and store their produce. These kinds of predictions will also help farmers minimize losses due to crop failure and can also help businesses that depend on agricultural products to plan their business logistics and resources. In this project, a method is proposed which would help predict the estimate of the crop yield for a specific land based on the analysis of geographical and climatic data using Machine Learning using LSTM. Firstly, it is able to capture the time dependency on temperature and rainfall. Secondly, it is able to work on a large and diverse dataset, unlike most models which only perform well in small regions. Lastly, it is able to use several diverse features - geographical, social, and economic to make a prediction. In addition to crop prediction, the system helps farmers to monitor the soil nutrients evolution so that action can be done on real time. The main chemical elements which are taken into the proposed model are nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, hydrogen along with rainfall and temperature.

Metal nanoparticles typically exhibit sizes ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers and
can be produced by several techniques, such as green synthesis and chemical synthesis.
This study focuses on the green synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO-NPs) using
aerial extract of Christia vespertilionis. The observation of CuO-NPs formation was made
based on the variations in colour exhibited by the extract mixture following the
introduction of copper (II) sulphate (CuSO4). The synthesised nanoparticles underwent
characterization utilising various instrumentation techniques, including UV-Vis
spectrophotometry, FTIR, TEM, SEM, EDX, and TGA. The antibacterial activity of these
nanoparticles was assessed by using disc diffusion method, against selected
Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The investigation also encompassed an
examination of the combined effect of the nanoparticles and the antibiotic Ciprofloxacin
on antibacterial activity. In this study, it was noted that the maximum absorbance of
the CuO-NPs occurred at a wavelength of 253nm. The functional groups of the CuO-NPs were
confirmed through FTIR spectrum. TEM analysis revealed the average particle size of the
CuO-NPs as 62.16 nm. Additionally, examination of SEM images revealed that the particles
exhibited irregular shapes while maintaining a homogeneous distribution. The
nanoparticles exhibited enhanced antibacterial efficacy against Gram-positive bacteria
in comparison to the Gram-negative bacteria that were examined. Significant synergistic
effect was shown when the CuoNPs were used with the antibiotic against the bacteria
tested. In conclusion, the study conducted demonstrates favorable outcomes as an
antibacterial agent and recommended to conduct additional research to investigate the
mechanism of action and toxicity of this agent.

Hip replacement surgery, a significant orthopaedic intervention, is commonly
undertaken to address hip pain stemming from aging or injury, particularly among elderly
patients. The primary objective of this surgical procedure is to restore the patient's
quality of life to its pre-operative state, enabling them to resume normal daily
activities. Typically, the posterior approach has been the conventional surgical method
for hip replacement, widely practiced both in Indonesia and globally. This evolving
trend has sparked interest in comparing the effectiveness and outcomes of the anterior
and posterior approaches, particularly concerning critical factors such as operating
time, length of hospital stays, need for transfusion, and postoperative mobilization
time. In pursuit of a comprehensive understanding, a study was conducted, focusing on
patients who underwent hip replacement surgery at Siloam Kupang Hospital. The anterior
approach was considered as the case group, while the posterior approach served as the
control group. Surprisingly, the study did not identify any statistically significant
differences in operating time and transfusion requirements between hip replacement
surgeries utilizing the anterior approach and those employing the posterior approach.
This suggests that, from a procedural standpoint, both approaches are comparable in
terms of efficiency and blood management. However, when assessing postoperative
outcomes, distinct trends emerged. The anterior approach demonstrated a notable
advantage in terms of faster mobilization times, implying a quicker recovery and the
potential for patients to regain their mobility sooner. On the other hand, the posterior
approach exhibited a shorter hospital stay, suggesting a streamlined postoperative
course. These findings contribute valuable insights to the ongoing discourse within the
orthopaedic community regarding the merits of the anterior and posterior approaches in
hip replacement surgery. As medical practices continue to evolve, such comparative
studies play a pivotal role in refining surgical techniques and optimizing patient
outcomes in the realm of orthopaedic interventions.

Desde el siglo XXI, el comercio entre Argentina y China se ha desarrollado considerablemente. El comercio de carne, como parte importante del comercio entre China y Argentina, ha experimentado muchas fluctuaciones durante los últimos 15 años. Con el fin de clarificar las causas de las fluctuaciones comerciales, este trabajo analiza la tendencia del volumen y la estructura de la carne argentina exportada a China durante 2008-2022 a partir de la base de datos UN Comtrade, y calcula y analiza los datos comerciales de las tres fases de 2008-2013, 2014-2019 y 2020-2022 a través del modelo CMS (Constant Market Share). En combinación con los resultados de los análisis empíricos, este documento concluye que el aumento de la demanda del mercado chino, la optimización de la estructura de productos y la competitividad baja fueron los principales factores que influyeron en la exportación argentina de carne a China durante esos 15 años. Con base en esta conclusión, al final del trabajo se presentan algunas sugerencias para el futuro desarrollo del comercio entre China y Argentina.

Health occupies an important place in the system of indicators determining the quality of life. Issues of improving health indicators are especially relevant for the Greater Caucasus province, which plays an important role in the socio-economic development of the Azerbaijan Republic and has a high standard of living, demographic and labor potential. The territorial organization of health care in the Greater Caucasus province, environmental peculiarities and their impact on the quality of life have been studied. On the basis of statistical materials the indicators of disease spread among the population living in the region are studied. Atmospheric air pollution is mainly responsible for the spread of infectious diseases, so the relationship between them has been studied. The relationship between the human development index and the environment and its impact on the quality of life has been studied. It is found that the amount of waste from stationary sources in the region has decreased. Air pollution directly affects the health of the population. Thus, the low amount of waste emitted into the atmosphere corresponds to high values of the Human Development Index. More precisely, the correlation between them is negative, and the coefficient of determination is equal to 0.857, i.e. the dependence is determined at the level of 85%.

The article examines the features of the translation of linguapoetics elements into Russian and English in Magzhan Zhumabaev’s poem “To Madam Gulsim”. Poetic translation is the highest peak of literary translation. Deep, subtextual thoughts are brought into a certain rhythmic form by various artistic and figurative means, and when every word becomes important, the burden placed on the translator becomes heavier. Translation into other languagesof the poetry of Magzhan, a master of the poetic word, is only now being studied. Therefore, we aim to identify successful moments of translation and emerging gaps, comparing artistic and visual means that meet the aesthetic effect in the original and translated text from a lexical-semantic and structural point of view. Also, in the original/translation pair, external parameters and structure are analyzed that give the poem a certain melody and rhythm at the level of syllables, stanzas and rhymes. The results of the study determine the quality of translations of the poet’s po- etry and further contribute to enriching the experience of translation into foreign languages. It is determined which poetry translation strategy (According to J. Holmes and A. Lefever) corresponds to three versions of the translation in Russian and the English translation, and the extent to which it influenced the original content and idea, the artistic form, is interpreted. Currently, only twenty of the poet’s poems have been translated into English. Since Russian serves as an intermediate language for many translations, Russian translations require special analysis.
