Objectives

To examine legal and social determinants of violence, anxiety/depression among sex workers.

Methods

A participatory prospective cohort study among women (inclusive of transgender) ≥18 years, selling sex in the last 3 months in London between 2018 and 2019. We used logistic generalised estimating equation models to measure associations between structural factors on recent (6 months) violence from clients or others (local residents, strangers), depression/anxiety (Patient Health Questionnaire-4).

Results

197 sex workers were recruited (96% cisgender-women; 46% street-based; 54% off-street) and 60% completed a follow-up questionnaire. Street-based sex workers experienced greater inequalities compared with off-street in relation to recent violence from clients (73% vs 36%); police (42% vs 7%); intimate partner violence (IPV) (56% vs 18%) and others (67% vs 17%), as well as homelessness (65% vs 7%) and recent law enforcement (87% vs 9%). Prevalence of any STI was 17.5% (17/97). For street-based sex workers, recent arrest was associated with violence from others (adjusted OR (aOR) 2.77; 95% CI 1.11 to 6.94) and displacement by police was associated with client violence (aOR 4.35; 95% CI 1.36 to 13.90). Financial difficulties were also associated with client violence (aOR 4.66; 95% CI 1.64 to 13.24). Disability (aOR 3.85; 95% CI 1.49 to 9.95) and client violence (aOR 2.55; 95% CI 1.10 to 5.91) were associated with anxiety/depression. For off-street sex workers, financial difficulties (aOR 3.66; 95% CI 1.64 to 8.18), unstable residency (aOR 3.19; 95% CI 1.36 to 7.49), IPV (aOR 3.77; 95% CI 1.30 to 11.00) and alcohol/drug use were associated with client violence (aOR 3.16; 95% CI 1.26 to 7.92), while always screening and refusing clients was protective (aOR 0.36; 95% CI 0.15 to 0.87). Disability (aOR 5.83; 95% CI 2.34 to 14.51), unmet mental health needs (aOR 3.08; 95% CI 1.15 to 8.23) and past eviction (aOR 3.99; 95% CI 1.23 to 12.92) were associated with anxiety/depression.

Conclusions

Violence, anxiety/depression are linked to poverty, unstable housing and police enforcement. We need to modify laws to allow sex workers to work safely and increase availability of housing and mental health services.
Failure Mechanism and Control Technology of the Primary Support for Asymmetric Deformation Disaster of Deep Tunnel
Authors: Zhang Peng , Li Pan
Published: October 2024

Asymmetric large deformation disasters inevitably occur when highway tunnels cross active fault zones. Relying on the Nanlangshan No.1 Tunnel Project, the mechanism of asymmetric deformation is analyzed based on the in-situ engineering geology and tunnel monitoring data, and numerical calculations are used for verification. Based on the results of asymmetric large deformation disaster analysis, the control scheme of double-layer primary support is proposed, and the design is optimized with numerical calculation before engineering practice. The conclusions are as follows: 1. The original primary support program cannot withstand the asymmetric surrounding rock pressure, and the slip of the weak interlayer in the engineering geology is the main reason for the asymmetric deformation disaster in the tunnel. 2. According to the results of the numerical calculations, the tilted weak interlayer greatly reduces the stability of the surrounding rock, which leads to the local bending damage in the left shoulder of the tunnel, and the local shear deformation damage in the right arch girdle. 3. When using the double-layer primary support program, the appropriate delay of support timing for the second layer of primary support can effectively decrease the tunnel asymmetric deformation. However, if the second layer of primary support lag distance is too large, it will also lead to tunnel deformation convergence larger, or support failure and other issues. So, it is recommended that the second layer of primary support lags behind the first layer of primary support by 2 m to be applied.

Summary. The aim of the study — to review and analyze the scientific literature and current recommendations on first aid (FA) for drowning; based on the results of the analysis, to develop a draft universal algorithm for providing FA in drowning. Study materials and methods. The material for the study comprised international and national guidelines on FA in drowning and articles on the topic of FA in drowning published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. The information search was carried out in January 2024 using the Google search engine and bibliographic databases Google Scholar, PubMed, and eLIBRARY.RU. Results of the study and their analysis. Being one of the most common causes of accidental death, drowning is a serious public health problem. Timely and correct provision of FA by incident witnesses significantly reduces the risk of death and disability for the victims. At the same time, the topic of providing FA for drowning has been little touched upon in the domestic scientific literature. There are no uniform guidelines for the Russian Federation on the provision of FA in drowning. Improvement of the organizational basis in Russia for effective provision of FA for drowning requires the development and approval of a unified formal procedure for providing FA for drowning and the establishment of the practice of mass training of the population in modern principles and methods of providing FA for drowning. Based on the results of the analysis of current international guidelines on FA, the proposed universal algorithm for providing FA for drowning, after discussion and agreement by the scientific community, may act as a basic element for creating the formal procedure for providing FA and developing appropriate educational and awareness-raising materials on FA for drowning.

Published: October 2024

Background: Social anxiety disorder, or social phobia, involves an uncontrollable fear of social situations, exacerbating stress and hindering academic performance. Building resilience is crucial as it helps individuals cope with and recover from stress effectively. This study aimed to assess social anxiety and resilience among undergraduate medical students at a tertiary care institute in Kolkata and to identify any associated sociodemographic factors.
Methods: A mixed-methods study was conducted from April to June 2022 among 200 undergraduate medical students of Phase-I of Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery. Quantitative data were collected via electronic method (Google Forms). Multinomial logistic regression was performed to examine relation between sociodemographic characteristics, social anxiety, and resilience. The qualitative component consisted of in-depth interviews with 12 purposively selected participants and was thematically analysed.
Results: Most (80.0%) participants were aged between 17 and 20 years, and 63.7% were from urban residences. Social anxiety was prevalent in almost 78% of participants, while only 2.1% exhibited ‘high’ resilience. Students whose mothers had received primary education and less monthly pocket money had significantly higher odds of experiencing social anxiety. Qualitative findings revealed themes such as fear of judgment, avoidance of social situations, and impacts on academic performance, with coping mechanisms including seeking social support and practicing mindfulness.
Conclusion: Most of the participants experienced social anxiety, with few displaying high resilience. These findings highlight the need for comprehensive mental health support systems within medical institutions.
Necessary Competencies for The Completion of a Thesis: Students’ Perceptions
Authors: Flores-González Norma
Published: October 2024

Research is a core skill in university education, which allows students to develop knowledge and skills to intervene in their professional field. However, there are areas of opportunity to complete an investigation, and the context of the present study is no exception. According to this background, the objective is to characterize the students’ competencies to develop a thesis and identify obstacles in its preparation, presentation, and defense. Concerning methodology, a transversal quantitative approach was used by applying a questionnaire, finding that participants manage some techniques, abilities, competencies, and knowledge and identifying difficulties centered on lack of knowledge and investigative skills. In conclusion, students do not complete their work because theoretical foundations are not put into practice since there are ambiguities in knowledge conceptualization and the operationalization of research skills. The contribution of this study lies in identifying the difficulties in preparing a thesis, which can allow teachers to design an appropriate didactic intervention to meet students’ needs for the successful completion of their research and foster interest in the inquiry.

This study focuses on ICT governance in higher education in a developing country. The research employs an interpretive single case study to describe and understand ICT governance at a computer college in Libya. Our results reveal formal ICT governance leverages its general management structure and processes to make ICT decisions and fulfill the needs of college stakeholders. In addition, the structure supporting ICT decision-making at Beta College qualifies as “decentralized,” while the ICT archetype of “Federal” best describes its ICT governance arrangements. Surprisingly, our study reveals the hybridization of the role of the Dean through the integration of “entrepreneurial activities” amid his efforts to fulfill the ICT needs of the college in the context of severe budget constraints.
Equity in Literacy Education: A Case Study of Tier 2 Personalized Instruction
Authors: Whitfield Earlisha Jenkins
Published: October 2024

According to the NAEP, proficiency in reading is reported to be 67% in 4th-grade students. General education classroom teachers are responsible for providing Tier 1 and 2 instruction, including interventions in Tier 2. However, many teachers are unsure about implementing interventions and have had negative experiences with Response to Intervention (RTI), finding the process frustrating and overwhelming. This case study examines the effectiveness of teachers who have seen an increase in reading levels and student interest. The research explores the teachers’ perceptions, experiences, and skills of the current implementation of RTI using Gibbs’ Reflective Practice as a theoretical framework. Data collected from individual interviews and observations are analyzed using open coding. Themes and concepts are identified from the interview and observational data. These findings inform educators and higher education teacher educators about Tier 2 implementation and equitable, personalized instruction in the RTI process, aiming to strengthen the implementation and effectiveness of Tier 2 interventions in the general education classroom.
Marked Improvement of Nightmare Disorder and Backaches Following Treatment with Amphetamine Salts
Authors: H Check Jerome , A Neumann Brooke , L Check Diane
Published: October 2024

Rationale: A relative deficiency of dopamine in various tissues leading to increased tissue permeability allowing infiltration of irritants to cause inflammation with subsequent pain, or disrupt normal function of organs, may be the etiologic factor in a wide variety of medical conditions. Evidence to support this hypothesis has been shown by quick improvement of symptomatology after treatment with dopaminergic drugs especially dextroamphetamine sulfate, but also cabergoline, for both corporeal conditions and psychological ones. Objective: To determine not only if treatment with dextroamphetamine may ameliorate backaches (which has been previously reported) but also improve chronic nightmare syndrome which has never been previously reported. Findings: A total daily dosage of 18.8mg of dextroamphetamine sulfate was not only able to immediately completely relieve the backache, but while taking it he did not have one nightmare during three months of treatment. Previously he never had one week for 30 years without at least 1-3 nightmares. Conclusion: Sometimes one case report provides more valid conclusions of the efficacy of a given drug than a randomized controlled study. The standard medication used for chronic nightmares is prazosin which may not be very effective in ameliorating chronic nightmares. The dramatic complete improvement of chronic nightmare syndrome, though it was only one patient, is sufficient for a treating physician to try dextroamphetamine therapy for prazosin failures or for patients who only had partial relief from prazosin and/or side effects, to try amphetamine therapy. Certainly, it would make sense to try dextroamphetamine for chronic nightmares if the patient also has other manifestations of the increased cellular permeability disorder.

Published: October 2024

The Draw-a-Person test (former Draw a Man test) comes from the intelligence diagnostics of children, but the procedure also gives a wealth of interesting results in patients with brain damage. Goal: The aim of the study was to investigate to what extent drawing ability is impaired in people with brain damage and how strong the connection is with other neuropsychological investigations. Methods: The result of the Draw-a-Person test (DAPT) was compared with the: Mini-Mental Status Examination, Verbal Learning and Memory Test, Number Connection Test, “Personalities” test from Kaufmann's Test battery, Hooper's Visual Organization Test and Mosaic test of the Hamburg Wechsler intelligence Scale. Participants: The data was collected as part of a field study in a clinic for Neurology and a neuropsychological practice, so there are often only preliminary diagnoses. Since this study is about the correlations of the tests only, differences in diagnosis are not considered as a bias. For the present study, the data from a total of 50 patients (mean age 70.2 ±13.0 years, 24 males, 26 females) were evaluated. The patients suffered from: stroke (n=19), dementia (n=10), traumatic brain injury (n=5), transient ischemic attack (n=4), heart attack (n=3), encephalitis (n=2), Parkinson's disease (n=2), cerebral hemorrhage (n=1), other diagnoses (n=4, e.g. vitamin-B12 deficiency, seizures, confusion). Results: The correlations to the DAP-Test were: Mini-Mental Status Examination Rho=0.66*; Verbal Learning and Memory Test 1st round: Rho=0.34*; 5th round: Rho=0.44*; 6th round: Rho=0.23 (n.s.); 7th round: Rho=0.30 (n.s.); Number Connection Test Rho= -0.29*; “Personalities” test Rho = 0.44*; Hooper’s Visual Organization Test Rho = 0.61*; Mosaic Test Rho = 0.57*. Conclusion: The DAP test is an easy-to-perform procedure that only takes a few minutes and is very economical. The test gives initial indications for many visual-constructive deficits as e.g. neglect, visual agnosia and correlates significantly with many other neuropsychological instruments.

The Circle of Willis is an arterial network located at the base of the brain, formed by the interconnection of the anterior, middle, and posterior cerebral arteries, along with the anterior and posterior communicating arteries. It connects the internal carotid arteries to the vertebral arteries, allowing the distribution of cerebral blood flow. Its significance lies in its ability to offer an alternative pathway in cases of arterial obstruction, helping to prevent cerebral ischemia. However, anatomical variations of this structure are common, and only 20% to 25% of the population has a "complete" or symmetrical configuration. Such variations can influence the risk of cerebrovascular diseases, such as stroke, as they may compromise the efficiency of the compensatory mechanism. These anatomical variations have a direct impact on the diagnosis and treatment of neurological conditions. The integrity of the Circle of Willis can influence the severity of symptoms in cases of ischemic strokes, as well as affect aneurysm formation and its clinical implications. Advances in imaging techniques, such as CT angiography and magnetic resonance imaging, have enabled more accurate diagnoses and the development of more effective treatments for conditions associated with the Circle of Willis, making its anatomical understanding essential for the prevention and management of cerebrovascular diseases.

Optic neuritis is an inflammation that affects the optic nerve, causing vision loss, eye pain, and changes in color perception. The condition can be associated with autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) or infections, especially in immunocompromised individuals such as HIV/AIDS patients or those undergoing chemotherapy. In these individuals, optic neuritis usually results from opportunistic infections like toxoplasmosis and syphilis, complicating diagnosis and treatment. In immunocompetent patients, optic neuritis may indicate autoimmune diseases like MS or neuromyelitis optica (NMO), with better prognoses when treated early with corticosteroids. However, in immunocompromised individuals, the prognosis tends to be worse due to underlying infections and a limited response to immunosuppressive treatment. The management of optic neuritis involves anti-inflammatory therapies and, in cases of infections, specific antimicrobials. Continuous clinical and visual follow-up is also crucial. Studies suggest that clinical outcomes vary depending on the etiology and the patient's immune status, highlighting the need for personalized therapeutic strategies. Early diagnosis is critical to improving vision and quality of life for patients.

Learning Hadith for children, let alone memorizing and applying it in everyday life, is very important and good for children's brain development. The rapid development of children's brain makes it easier for educators to develop aspects of their development, one of which is religious values, positive habits that children will use in their daily lives. Based on the analysis of the problems received by the author from the community in Wibawamulya Village, with the availability of the number of Qur'anic education parks with adequate infrastructure, it is still necessary to make efforts to increase the literacy of hadith education by implementing a program to improve the quality of human resources in Wibawamulya Village with hadith education using the motion method. Children lack concentration when learning hadith, feel bored and less interested in learning hadith so that memorization of hadith is not well achieved and forget the hadith that has been learned before. This causes the class to be noisy and not conducive when learning hadith takes place. Children prefer to talk to themselves when the educator is guiding their memorization. Based on the existing problems, the author uses qualitative research methods. The purpose of this community service is to understand hadith learning and can be implemented to students. The method of implementing this community service applies community education methods in the form of teaching and training. The results of the service have a positive impact in the form of increasing interest in learning hadith, memorizing hadith, and teacher creativity in learning methods.

Transmission networks of modern power systems are becoming increasingly stressed because of growing demand and restrictions on building new lines. One of the consequences of such a stressed system is the threat of losing stability following a disturbance. Flexible ac transmission system (FACTS) devices are found to be very effective in a transmission network for better utilization of its existing facilities without sacrificing the desired stability margin. FACTS such as Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM), employ the latest technology of power electronic switching devices in electric power transmission systems to control voltage and power flow. The STATCOM adjusts voltage at its terminal by managing the amount of reactive power injected into or absorbed from the power supply. When the system voltage is low, STATCOM creates reactive power; when the system voltage is high, STATCOM absorbs reactive power. In this paper STATCOM controllers are designed for improving transient stability of multi machine systems. Proposed controllers are implemented under MATLAB/SIMULNK environment. Results of PI based controllers installed with multi machine system is found to be better on comparison with conventional system.

THE UNSEEN GUARDIANS OF LAND: INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES, ENVIRONMENTAL LAW AND THE PATHWAY TO SUSTAINABLE COEXISTENCE
Authors:   Department of Law Manav Rachna University, Faridabad, Haryana, India
Published: October 2024

Indigenous communities have since long been stewards of the land, possessing a deep understanding of their local ecosystems and practicing sustainable ways of resource management. However, their role as unseen guardians of the environment is often overlooked by mainstream society. This article delves into the crucial role of indigenous communities in environmental stewardship and explores how integrating indigenous knowledge with contemporary environmental law can pave the way for sustainable coexistence between humans and nature. Key legal instruments, such as the International Labour Organization (ILO) Convention No. 169 and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous people (UNDRIP), recognize Indigenous rights, yet inconsistent implementation continues to pose challenges. This paper examines the global significance of Indigenous-managed lands, which cover 22% of the Earth’s surface, and how international agreements, like the Paris Climate Accord, acknowledge their contribution to environmental preservation. National legal frameworks, such as India’s Forest Rights Act (FRA), 2006, and the Panchayats (Extension to Scheduled Areas) Act (PESA), 1996, highlight both opportunities and obstacles for Indigenous communities in protecting their lands. Case studies from Yellowstone National Park (USA), the Amazon Rainforest (Brazil), and the Great Bear Rainforest (Canada) are explored to demonstrate the successes and ongoing struggles in collaborative conservation initiatives. The paper argues that environmental laws must respect Indigenous sovereignty, safeguard their traditional lands, and incorporate Indigenous knowledge systems. By emphasizing the importance of legal reforms and environmental justice, this research advocates for inclusive decision-making processes that ensure Indigenous communities can actively participate in sustainable coexistence efforts. Overall, the paper concludes that empowering Indigenous communities through stronger legal protections and collaborative conservation strategies is crucial for both environmental sustainability and cultural preservation.
