Published: May 2024

IntroductionThe aim of our study is to explore the relationship between procrastination, time management skills and psychological flexibility and the changes in them during an Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT)-based course that included time management training. We also explored the effects of time management skills and psychological flexibility on procrastination. The study used an experimental design in an ACT-based well-being course that included time management training.MethodsThe participants were 109 students taking the course and 27 waiting list students. Analyses were conducted with Pearson correlation, mixed ANOVA and causal mediation analysis.Results and discussionOur results show that time management skills, psychological flexibility and procrastination were related to each other, and all changed during the course. In addition, change in both time management and psychological flexibility had an impact on the change in procrastination during the course. The results show that both time management and psychological flexibility influence the change in procrastination during an ACT-based course.

IntroductionWe all experience occasional self-control failures (SCFs) in our daily lives, where we enact behaviors that stand in conflict with our superordinate or long-term goals. Based on the assumption that SCFs share common underlying mechanisms with addictive disorders, we tested the hypothesis that a generally higher susceptibility to daily SCFs predicts more addictive behavior, or vice versa.MethodsAt baseline, 338 individuals (19–27 years, 59% female) from a community sample participated in multi-component assessments. These included among others (1) a clinical interview on addictive behaviors (quantity of use, frequency of use, DSM-5 criteria; n = 338) and (2) ecological momentary assessment of SCFs (n = 329, 97%). At the 3-year and 6 year follow-up, participation rates for both assessment parts were 71% (n = 240) and 50% (n = 170), respectively.ResultsControlling for age, gender, IQ, and baseline addiction level, random-intercept cross-lagged panel models revealed that participants who reported more SCFs also showed pronounced addictive behavior at the between-person level, but we found no evidence of a predictive relationship at the within-person level over time.DiscussionA higher rate of SCFs is associated with more addictive behavior, while there is no evidence of an intraindividual predictive relationship. Novel hypotheses suggested by additional exploratory results are that (1) only addiction-related SCFs in daily life are early markers of an escalation of use and thus for addictive disorders and that (2) an explicit monitoring of SCFs increases self-reflection and thereby promotes the mobilization of cognitive control in response to goal-desire conflicts.

IntroductionPeru is a country that has a high incidence of viral outbreaks and epidemics, which is why it is necessary to validate a scale that measures anxiety and stress in professionals who are on the front lines of these events. Therefore, our objective was to validate the Peruvian-Spanish version of the Stress and Anxiety to Viral Epidemics-9 items (SAVE-9) scale and to concurrently compare its validity and internal consistency with the SAVE-6 scale among healthcare workers (HCWs).Materials and methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study based on data collected from a self-reported survey in paper-and-pencil format between April and July 2023. A total of 203 HCWs participated in the research. We developed a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and item response theory (IRT). We calculated Cronbach’s α coefficient and McDonald’s ω to assess the internal consistency of the scales.ResultsThe results show that SAVE-9 (a two-factor model) and SAVE-6 (a one-factor model) provided an excellent fit in the confirmatory factor analysis. Both scales demonstrated strong internal consistency (Cronbach’s α 0.85 and 0.86, respectively). Significant correlations were found between the SAVE-9 and SAVE-6 scales and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 items scale (r = 0.44 and r = 0.38, respectively, p &lt; 0.001) as well as the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 items (r = 0.39 and r = 0.35, respectively, p &lt; 0.001). The optimal cutoff points for SAVE-9 and SAVE-6 were identified for assessing anxiety, aligned with a GAD-7 score ≥5 points.ConclusionThe Peruvian-Spanish SAVE-9 and SAVE-6 scales are reliable and valid rating scales to assess the anxiety response of HCWs in response to viral epidemics. Though COVID-19 is diminished, these scales will be useful for other viral epidemics in the future.

IntroductionThis study aimed to understand the sociocultural context of teenage pregnancy in an Ecuadorian city with a large indigenous population, to gauge the acceptability of a multifaceted pregnancy prevention program for adolescents, and to elicit perspectives on the optimal program design from adolescents and adult key informants.MethodsWe ascertained qualitative data via an online, electronic survey administered from August to September 2020. Open- and closed-ended questions elicited perspectives relating to burden of adolescent pregnancies, acceptability of pregnancy prevention programs, and optimal design of future programs. Twenty-four adolescents (13–19 years of age) and 15 adult key informants working in the healthcare, business, and education sectors in Cotacachi completed the survey. Survey responses were analyzed using a structural and in vivo coding, and an inductive approach to consensus-building around key themes.ResultsMost adolescent survey respondents (75%) believed that teen pregnancy is “fairly common” in Cotacachi, and 41.7% believed differences in teen pregnancy rates are not associated with ethnicity. In comparison, 66.7% of adult survey respondents said teen pregnancy disproportionately occurs among indigenous teenagers. Additionally, 45.8% of adolescent and 80% of adult survey respondents believed that a comprehensive sexual education program would help reduce teenage pregnancy rates by imparting reliable sexual health knowledge. Adult respondents noted that the past programs were unsuccessful in preventing teenage pregnancy because of these programs’ inability to fully engage teenagers’ attention, very short time duration, or inappropriate consideration of cultural context.DiscussionIn Cotacachi, Ecuador, a sexual health education program is both desired and feasible according to adult and teenager key informants. A successful program must adapt to the cultural context and engage youth participation and attention.

ObjectiveThis study investigated the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infected patients during the second pandemic of COVID-19 (coronavirus disease of 2019) in Chengdu, China. Furthermore, the differences between first infection and re-infection cases were also compared and analyzed to provide evidence for better prevention and control of SARS-CoV-2 re-infection.MethodsAn anonymous questionnaire survey was conducted using an online platform (wjx.cn) between May 20, 2023 to September 12, 2023.ResultsThis investigation included 62.94% females and 32.97% of them were 18–30 years old. Furthermore, 7.19–17.18% of the participants either did not receive vaccination at all or only received full vaccination, respectively. Moreover, 577 (57.64%) participants were exposed to cluster infection. The clinical manifestations of these patients were mainly mild to moderate; 78.18% of participants had a fever for 1–3 days, while 37.84% indicated a full course of disease for 4–6 days. In addition, 40.66% of the participants had re-infection and 72.97% indicated their first infection approximately five months before. The clinical symptoms of the first SARS-CoV-2 infection were moderate to severe, while re-infection indicated mild to moderate symptoms (the severity of symptoms other than diarrhea and conjunctival congestion had statistically significant differences) (p &lt; 0.05). Moreover, 70.53 and 59.21% of first and re-infection cases had fever durations of 3–5 and 0–2 days, respectively. Whereas 47.91 and 46.40% of first and re-infection cases had a disease course of 7–9 and 4–6 days.ConclusionThe SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals in Chengdu, China, during the second pandemic of COVID-19 had mild clinical symptoms and a short course of disease. Furthermore, compared with the first infection, re-infection cases had mild symptoms, low incidences of complications, short fever duration, and course of disease.

ObjectiveExtensor tendon adhesion receive less attention recently. This study aims to analyze influencing factors of adhesion and prolonged lost days of work in patients with extensor tendon adhesion of the hand.MethodWe performed a retrospective study in patients with extensor tendon injuries who underwent primary surgical repair and early rehabilitation. We observed the differences between non-tendon adhesion and adhesion patients after surgical repair, and used the receiver operating characteristic curve to distinguish them. Then we explored the influencing factors of adhesion. In addition, we studied the lost days of work and the influencing factors.ResultsA total of 305 patients were included. 24.6% patients appeared tendon adhesion and the mean lost days of work was 12 weeks. MHISS scores, VAS scores, occupation and blood triglyceride level were the influencing factors of adhesion. The adhesion patients have increased MHISS scores (p &lt; 0.001), VAS scores (p &lt; 0.001), blood triglyceride levels (p &lt; 0.001) and lost days of work (p &lt; 0.001) than non-tendon adhesion. The optimal cut-off value of blood triglyceride level to distinguish non-tendon adhesion from adhesion was 1.625 mml/L, and MHISS scores was 20.5. Smoking, MHISS scores, blood triglyceride levels were the influencing factors of lost days of work in adhesion patients. There was positive correlation between lost days of work and triglyceride level (r = 0.307, p = 0.007), and MHISS scores (r = 0.276, p = 0.016).ConclusionTo minimize the occurrence of adhesion, doctors should pay attention to patients with higher MHISS and VAS scores, blood triglyceride levels, especial for the blue-collar and unemployed one. High triglyceride level may be a new influencing factor.

The article analyses the modern requirements for topographic training of travellers, in particular those who are engaged in active travel. For successful movement, quick and accident-free overcoming of the route, each participant of tourist and local history activities must possess various orientation skills at any time of the day and under any natural conditions. A tourist’s ability to navigate the terrain is a sign of good technical training. It is unacceptable to travel through an unfamiliar area in the absence of a compass, map materials and without prior study of the given territory. In the period of preparation for the hike, during classes and trainings in the area, the tourist acquires the necessary skills of orientation in the area, the use of a map and compass.
Arguments in favour of GPS-orientation skills for the safety of hiking and other tourist activitiesare given. The author analyses the navigation of travel in our time and demonstrates the possibilities of GPS navigation to determine one's location, direction of movement and route to one's destination. IT specialists develop and actively implement positioning and navigation systems focused on the needs of tourists. It is also convenient because most modern navigators and phones simultaneously support several satellite navigation systems. The author analysed in detail the advantages and disadvantages of various portable devices for satellite navigation. However, the general message of the article is that this type of orientation significantly simplifies the task of a tourist, a rescuer, and special services.

Transcendence in the workplace is an individual's sense of connectedness to colleagues and the larger community through the perception of work as a service for the common good that generates a sense of completeness and fulfillment. To analyze it, a measuring instrument is needed that can measure this. This study aims to adapt transcendence at work measuring instruments and test the psychometric properties to be tested on Muslim workers in Indonesia. This measuring instrument has been confirmed suitable for use in Hindu workers in India, but there have been no studies that test this measuring instrument on Muslim workers. The concept of transcendence which is quite attached to the teachings of Islam makes researchers interested in conducting this research. The transcendence at work measuring instrument developed by Khari and Sinha consists of 3 dimensions and 12 items that can measure transcendence in the workplace. The process of adapting measuring instruments refers to the International Test Commission. This study involved 200 Muslim workers in Indonesia. The reliability tests used are alpha Cronbach and CFA to measure construct validity. It was found that all items in the transcendence at work measuring instrument can measure transcendence in the workplace in Muslim workers in Indonesia.

Introduction: Since 1995, Indonesia began to adopt the Directly Observed Treatment Shortcourse Chemotherapy (DOTS) system in controlling tuberculosis. The main drugs recommended in this system are Antituberculosis Drugs (OAT) consisting of Isoniazid (H), Rifampicin (R), Pyrazinamide (Z), and Ethambutol (E). The use of Anti-Tuberculosis Drugs can cause side effects which are still other problems, such as liver damage which is characterized by an increase in transaminase enzymes. Therefore, monitoring liver function is very important. The routine examination carried out is a serum transaminase examination, namely SGOT (AST) and SGPT (ALT).

Consumer Satisfaction and Perception Towards Green Tea
Authors: - SURUDHI.R 
Published: May 2024

Green tea is a type of tea that is made from Camellia sinensis leaves and buds that have not undergone the same withering and oxidation process used to make oolong teas and black teas.[1] Green tea originated in China, but its production and manufacture has spread to other countries in East Asia.
Several varieties of green tea exist, which differ substantially based on the variety of C. sinensis used, growing conditions, horticultural methods, production processing, and time of harvest. Although there has been considerable research on the possible health effects of consuming green tea regularly, there is little evidence that drinking green tea has any effects on health

Published: May 2024

AbstractWhile the neural bases of the earliest stages of speech categorization have been widely explored using neural decoding methods, there is still a lack of consensus on questions as basic as how wordforms are represented and in what way this word-level representation influences downstream processing in the brain. Isolating and localizing the neural representations of wordform is challenging because spoken words activate a variety of representations (e.g., segmental, semantic, articulatory) in addition to form-based representations. We addressed these challenges through a novel integrated neural decoding and effective connectivity design using region of interest (ROI)-based, source-reconstructed magnetoencephalography/electroencephalography (MEG/EEG) data collected during a lexical decision task. To identify wordform representations, we trained classifiers on words and nonwords from different phonological neighborhoods and then tested the classifiers' ability to discriminate between untrained target words that overlapped phonologically with the trained items. Training with word neighbors supported significantly better decoding than training with nonword neighbors in the period immediately following target presentation. Decoding regions included mostly right hemisphere regions in the posterior temporal lobe implicated in phonetic and lexical representation. Additionally, neighbors that aligned with target word beginnings (critical for word recognition) supported decoding, but equivalent phonological overlap with word codas did not, suggesting lexical mediation. Effective connectivity analyses showed a rich pattern of interaction between ROIs that support decoding based on training with lexical neighbors, especially driven by right posterior middle temporal gyrus. Collectively, these results evidence functional representation of wordforms in temporal lobes isolated from phonemic or semantic representations.

Published: May 2024

Deep learning telah diterapkan di berbagai bidang seperti pembacaan aksara pada prasasti. Beberapa penelitian telah menerapkan deep learning dan menciptakan model dengan akurasi yang tinggi untuk melakukan deteksi dan pengenalan aksara pada prasasti. Seperti diketahui deep learning memerlukan data dalam jumlah yang besar dan bervariasi untuk menghasilkan model dengan performa yang tinggi. Namun sayangnya, tidak semua data memiliki jumlah yang cukup besar untuk mendukung proses pelatihan dengan deep learning. Data Prasasti merupakan salah satu contoh data yang memiliki jumlah terbatas karena susah untuk ditemukan. Untuk mendukung ketersediaan data dalam jumlah besar serta bervariasi, penelitian ini menerapkan augmentasi pada data aksara di prasasti untuk memenuhi kebutuhan dataset pelatihan deep learning. Teknik augmentasi data yang digunakan telah disesuaikan dengan data berjenis aksara, seperti rotasi, translasi, zoom, blur serta kombinasi antara teknik tersebut untuk menciptakan variasi baru. Penelitian ini menggunakan 3 (tiga) sampel data gambar yang diambil dari salah satu lempeng Prasasti Waruṅgahan. Menerapkan 19 teknik augmentasi data, penelitian ini menghasilkan data baru dengan jumlah yang besar serta bervariasi. Sebelum augmentasi, data gambar hanya sebanyak 3 (tiga) data dengan total 285 label. Setelah augmentasi dilakukan, jumlah data meningkat menjadi 60 data gambar lempeng dengan total 4975 label. Hasil augmentasi data ini digunakan sebagai dataset pelatihan untuk YOLO object detection. Hasil pelatihan yang dilakukan pada penelitian lain menunjukkan bahwa penambahan jumlah serta variasi data meningkatkan akurasi pendeteksian aksara khususnya pada Prasasti Waruṅgahan.
