Aim: To describe the rate of the controlled level of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) among diabetes mellitus patients in Dammam city, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). To assess the association between the status of HbA1c and the different patient-related factors namely: insulin use, metformin, dyslipidemia, and statin use. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed at Security Forces Hospital, Dammam, KSA, between November 2020 and February 2021. A sample of two hundred known diabetic patients who were regularly followed up at the outpatient department (OPD) was selected randomly for the current study. Results: A very low rate (24%) of controlled HbA1C levels in patients with diabetes (type 1 DM and type 2 DM), The data showed that 85 % of all participants in our study are T2DM patients, while only 15% are T1DM patients, Our data showed that patients with dyslipidemia, hypothyroidism, or hypertension have a high level of uncontrolled HbA1C levels. Surprisingly, both dyslipidemia and statin use were predictors of uncontrolled HbA1C, Unexpectedly, non-metformin use has a protective effect toward controlling HbA1C, While insulin use is a strong predictor of uncontrolled HbA1C (OD 5.20). Conclusion: A low rate of controlled glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level among patients with diabetes (T1DM and T2DM) in our sample urges the need for immediate intervention to investigate and improve the current findings. Further investigations are needed to fully explain the high rate of uncontrolled HbA1c among insulin, metformin and statins users.

The family tree – a challenge for multicultural learning: some aspects of Swedish, Serbian and Bulgarian kinship terminology
Authors: Ståhlberg Sabira , Hajdu Dorijan
Published: January 2022

To discover the essential differences in cultural and linguistic patterns of a certain society, we need to look no further than to the most common relations of all – those between family members. When studying, working and living in, or for instance marrying into another culture, we must not only learn, but also acquire and utilise a whole new set of relationships and terms in order to be able to function and communicate. Without this knowledge we will quickly encounter a multitude of social difficulties in the other environment. On a deeper level, if we follow the assumption that a language is the mirror of its culture, and that language also influences culture, the linguistic terms designating family relations present a number of interesting phenomena, such as: which relations occupy the centre of importance in the society; the concept and understanding of a core family; which family relations are considered “worth” having a term for, and thus meaningful to keep up; the relations after a crisis, for instance a divorce; and several more, including the transfer of family relations to friendship and business contacts.
This qualitative pilot study discusses some important aspects of family relations from the perspectives of Swedish-language (Sweden and Swedish-speakers in Finland) family terminology, in comparison with Serbian and Bulgarian. The study also includes a Serbian-language survey about kinship terms, and it raises questions about further research into cultural and social patterns and connotations reflected in kinship terminology. Social and cultural differences specifically between the Serbian and Swedish spheres are highlighted; the Bulgarian and Swedish-speaking terminologies in Finland are used here mainly as references and for comparative purposes. The study combines different scientific fields in mapping out some aspects of cognitive, social and cultural patterns. It emphasises the importance and necessity of multilingual and multicultural learning instead of foreign language and culture learning, and shows some of the pitfalls and possibilities students of languages and cultures encounter when learning new kinship concepts and terms.

Published: January 2022

Lithuania became a European Union member in 2004 and it is intensively preparing nowadays to take over the EU’s presidency in the second half of 2013. As today EU’s agenda is oriented with priority to tackle the economic crisis, the survival of EURO zone and euro-scepticism, Lithuania’s foreign policy is focused, among others, on further development of the area of freedom and security, promoting further enlargement and development of relations with Eastern countries. In this respect, Lithuania is keen to share its integration experience with candidate and potentially candidate countries and to make the further enlargement of the E. U. in the Western Balkans countries a successful story similar to the 2004 enlargement campaign, with Croatia joining the EU on 1st of July 2013 during Lithuanian presidency and planning to have an impact on the finalization of negotiations with other candidate countries. Since joining the EU, Lithuania has experienced difficulties arising from its role as a destination, source and transit country for legal and irregular international migration. As Lithuania is one of the Member States that have external borders with non-candidate countries (Byelorussia and Russia – Kaliningrad oblast), it is as well concerned about security issues, migration and integration of minorities in the framework of the European Neighbourhood Policy. Minorities account for 16% of the population of Lithuania, out of which Poles-6.1 %, Russians and Byelorussians-6% and Ukrainians-0.6 %. Other minorities such as Jews, Germans, Tartars, Latvians, Roma, Armenians etc. account together for 0.7 % of the total population. Lithuanians generally have a positive relationship with their national minorities and the integration of former may be regarded as somewhat advanced, but discrimination cannot be excluded, especially on the labour market. The juridical situation of these minorities and the issues concerning them is the focus of this article.

A Survey on Multi Objective Optimization Challenges in Swarm Intelligence
Authors: Caruana Rich , Lou Yin
Published: January 2022

Various challenges in real life are multi-objective and conflicting (i.e., alter concurrent optimization). This implies that a single objective is optimized based on another’s cost. The Multi-Objective Optimization (MOO) issues are challenging but potentially realistic, and due to their wide-range application, optimization challenges have widely been analyzed by research with distinct scholarly bases. Resultantly, this has yielded distinct approaches for mitigating these challenges. There is a wide-range literature concerning the approaches used to handle MOO challenges. It is important to keep in mind that each technique has its pros and limitations, and there is no optimum alternative for cure searchers in a typical scenario. The MOO challenges can be identified in various segments e.g., path optimization, airplane design, automobile design and finance, among others. This contribution presents a survey of prevailing MOO challenges and swarm intelligence approaches to mitigate these challenges. The main purpose of this contribution is to present a basis of understanding on MOO challenges.

As a result, a community service team in Anabanua, Kabupaten Wajo, has begun to assist children and teenagers in learning English. Collaborative learning is one of the approaches utilized in this community service activity because it engages and gives learners plenty of opportunities to share and discuss information and solve problems. As a result of using the collaborative learning strategy, learners are expected to be more engaged in learning and cooperating, allowing them to apply their learning and collaboration habits in the workplace. The outcomes of the community service reveal that assistance and empowerment in learning English have a beneficial impact on learners and a positive response from the community. Learners' empowerment has a critical role in boosting their motivation and raising their achievement levels. The community service activity is anticipated to be sustainable and to develop into a partnership between institutions and villages, allowing the institutions to contribute to the shaping of a smart, wise, and prosperous society.

Salah satu faktor rendahnya mutu pendidikan disebabkan oleh proses pembelajaran yang masih sederhana dengan menggunakan media yang tidak bervariatif. Selain itu belum diterapkanya media pembelajaran yang dapat meningkatkan penyerapan informasi dalam ingatan dengan baik. Salah satu cara untuk menyimpan informasi didalam ingatan diperlukan media pembelajaran yang tepat. Dimana cendrung selama ini proses belajar yang tidakmenggunakan media yang bervariatif, sehingga masih terdapat beberapa guru yang menggunakan metode ceramah sehingga berpengaruh terhadap rendahnya kemamupuan siswa untuk mengingat dan memahami materi. Media pembelajaran powerpoint dirasa sangat tepat untuk mengatasi hal tesebut, karena media ini memberikan informasi secara audiovisual sehingga siswa dapat menyerap informasi dengan melihat, mendengar, dan merespon, dengan kemampuan mengingat siswa masing-masing pesan informasi secara visual mudah dipahami oleh siswa, lebih merangsang siswa untuk mengetahui lebih jauh tentang bahan ajar yang sedang disajikan, objek yang ditampilkan terlihat kongkrit (nyata). Penyajian powerpoint yang bervariatif karena terdapat aplikasi gambar, animasi, sound, video sehingga membuat proses belajar tidak menjenuhkan.

Basic English Training is provided to Bidikmisi students at IAI As'adiyah Sengkang who need it the most as part of this program. Aside from the pretest and post-test, 12 meetings were held. The results suggest that Bidikmisi students' basic English skills have improved.

Vision Screening Programmes: Collaborative work for developing evidence-based vision screening protocols.
Authors: Strang Niall , Barrett Brendan , Baraas Rigmor C
Published: January 2022

This editorial highlights the scope of the topic that need to be examined further in the field of children’s vision screening. We hope that by making vision screening a special topic in SJOVS we can encourage collaboration between groups of researchers, clinicians and students and help in the development of evidence-based solutions to the current problems facing vision screening across the world. Of course, identifying eye and vision problems represents only the first stage in a screening process. It is important to mention that any screening programme requires several follow up steps to be successful. Good access to further examination for screening is required and affordable spectacles need to be provided. A mechanism of follow up is also important as, once dispensed, the spectacles need to be worn appropriately. Failure to address any of these issues will limit the benefits of a screening programme and innovative methods of addressing these issues are encouraged.
