Use of strength-based perspective to empower children in communities
Authors: Elizabeth Chanyau  
Published: January 2024

Use of strength-based perspective to empower children in communities: Strengths-based practice is a collaborative process between the person supported by services and those supporting them, allowing them to work together to determine an outcome that draws on the person's strengths and assets. This paper seeks to show how strength based perspective can be applied to child protection and children's rights. Working in a collaborative way promotes the opportunity for children to be co-producers of services and support rather than solely consumers of those services. In child protection context, strengths based practice is solution focused and views the safety of the child or young person as paramount. It uses the strengths of individuals and families to develop strategies to achieve safety and change. It appreciates that the valuable skills and experiences children have is key to getting alongside them and co-producing. Principles of the strengths based approach include, social workers best save the clients by collaborating with them, every environment is full of resources and children have the capacity to determine what's best for them. However, weaknesses of this approach in child protection include the fact that, children can be manipulated by money leading to emotional and sexual abuse in private sectors and the approach also ignores people's problems can be heavy to such an extent they will not share or disclose to anyone.How to cite this article using ASWNet styleChanyau, E.

Generalizations of quasielliptic curves
Authors: Hilario Cesar , Schröer Stefan 
Published: January 2024

We generalize the notion of quasielliptic curves, which have infinitesimal symmetries and exist only in characteristic two and three, to a remarkable hierarchy of regular curves having infinitesimal symmetries, defined in all characteristics and having higher genera. This relies on the study of certain infinitesimal group schemes acting on the affine line and certain compactifications. The group schemes are defined in terms of invertible additive polynomials over rings with nilpotent elements, and the compactification is constructed with the theory of numerical semigroups. The existence of regular twisted forms relies on Brion's recent theory of equivariant normalization. Furthermore, extending results of Serre from the realm of group cohomology, we describe non-abelian cohomology for semidirect products, to compute in special cases the collection of all twisted forms.Comment: 31 pages

Objectives: To assess community preparedness and ongoing recovery efforts in the rural counties most severely impacted by Hurricane Michael, including structural and economic losses, injury and illness, healthcare access, and suicide risk and ideation. Design: The Florida Department of Health conducted a Community Assessment for Public Health Emergency Response (CASPER) in January 2020, 15 months after Hurricane Michael made landfall in October 2018.
Setting: A total of 30 clusters were randomly selected from three rural counties in the Panhandle of Florida, including Jackson (15 clusters), Gadsden (11), and Calhoun (four) counties.
Participants: A total of 185 face-to-face and two phone interviews were conducted with residents 18 years of age or older.
Main outcome measure: Hurricane preparedness, structural and economic losses, access to care, and physical and mental health.
Results: Around 43 percent of respondents evacuated as a result of Hurricane Michael, and at least two-thirds of all respondents reported having an emergency supply kit and enough nonperishable food, water, and medication. Structural damage was extensive with 63 percent reporting home damage, averaging over $32,000. Few injuries or illnesses were reported post-landfall (9 percent), with the most common being minor injuries and bacterial infections. Most respondents reported continued access to healthcare if needed. The most common stress-related issues reported were difficulty sleeping (19 percent) and agitated behaviors (10 percent). Seven percent of respondents reported being at moderate to high risk for suicide.
Conclusions: Rural areas may lack resources, such as healthcare facilities, skilled workers, and supplies, that hinder their ability to recover from storms when compared to more urban counties. Many residents reported that 15 months after the storm, their homes were still not fully repaired. A majority of residents were prepared with adequate supplies, had minimal disruption in employment or healthcare access, and had few illnesses or injuries during the storm or the recovery efforts.

The Use of Metaphors, Similes, and Personifications in the Truman Show Film
Authors: Pamungkas Adjie , Yuskar Bobby Octavia 
Published: January 2024

This research dissects “The Truman Show” using metaphor, simile, and personification to expose concealed symbolism. The study employs a qualitative method, scrutinizing the film’s script based on X.J. Kennedy’s theory. Data is gathered through film observation and noting the usage of these literary devices. The film primarily uses personification (41.2%), followed by metaphor (35.3%) and simile (23.5%). These devices stimulate viewers to question reality and the media’s impact. They underscore the significance of privacy in genuine life experiences. The film serves as a warning, revealing how turning real life into entertainment can dehumanize individuals and reminding us of the value of privacy as a crucial part of a genuine life experience. The study follows a systematic process, including outlining the topic, creating the thesis layout, gathering information from the film and online research, and analyzing the symbols and meanings in the thesis. The research provides insights into human experiences and the impact of media on our perception of reality.

This paper explores the transformative role of pharmacists in integrating pharmacogenomics into clinical practice. Pharmacogenomics, the study of genetic influences on drug response, presents an unprecedented opportunity to personalise medication management. The pharmacist's role has evolved from medication dispensing to becoming crucial in interpreting and applying genomic data for optimised therapeutic outcomes. We delve into the foundations of pharmacogenomics, historical milestones, and its applications in clinical practice. The pharmacist's responsibilities include interpreting genetic data, collaborating with healthcare providers, counselling patients, and integrating pharmacogenomics into Medication Therapy Management. Challenges, such as ethical considerations and legal frameworks, are navigated to ensure responsible genomic practice. Education emerges as a cornerstone, with recommendations to enhance genomic literacy through comprehensive educational programs. Ethical considerations highlight the importance of informed consent, privacy safeguards, and equitable access to pharmacogenomic information. The future of pharmacogenomics in pharmacy practice relies on interdisciplinary collaboration, continuous education, and ethical adherence, positioning pharmacists as integral contributors to the personalised medicine landscape.

Published: January 2024

Background: Middle nasal concha hypertrophy known as concha bullosa is caused by its pneumatization. Although it is the most common anatomical variation of the ostiomeatal complex, research on it in different populations is limited. It is uncertain whether concha bullosa prevalence varies across populations throughout the world.
Objective: The purpose of study was to determine the prevalence of (superior, middle and inferior turbinate concha bullosa) in patients who visited an ENT clinic with various ENT symptoms.
Methods: The duration of this retrospective descriptive study was six month. The study was carried out between the period from June 2022 to November 2022 at Department of ENT and Head & Neck Surgery. We examined the axial and coronal planes of patients' computed tomography (CT) scans of nose as well as paranasal sinuses who reported headaches or nasal obstruction symptoms in addition to symptoms of chronic sinusitis.
Results: Concha bullosa was seen in 14% of the 100 scans examined. Six (42.8%) individuals had bilateral concha bullosa, whereas eight (57.1%) had unilateral concha bullosa. Out of the eight conchae, two (25%) were found on the right side while six (75%) on the left side.
Conclusion: Study concluded that concha bullosa is the most common anatomic variation. During the preoperative evaluation, the radiologist must pay close attention to anatomical variants. It is critical for surgeons to be aware of this variation.

Understanding the structural biology, genotyping, and pathogenesis of HBV is crucial because it is a significant health risk that affects people all over the world. The four structural proteins that the HBV genome codes for are crucial to the pathogenesis of the virus. HBV genotypes vary by region, and these genotypes may respond to antiviral medication and vaccinations differently. Both molecular and serological assays are capable of detecting HBV infection. Chronic infection and antiviral therapy must be closely monitored in the management of HBV infection. HBV infection can be prevented by receiving the HBV vaccine, which is both reliable and secure. HBV genotypes, genetic polymorphisms, and relationships with leukomonocytes will be the main topics of future study.

Background:
The utilisation of plants and their extracts for wound management and treatment has great potential. Some herbs stimulate tissue healing and regeneration through various mechanisms. Turmeric, also known as Haldi in Urdu, is its active ingredient, contains curcumin, and has been demonstrated to exhibit antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. A dry socket represents the most frequent complication that may arise following a tooth extraction, and it causes discomfort. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of turmeric in alleviating the symptoms of dry sockets.
Objective:
The objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of turmeric in the management of dry sockets.
Materials and Methods:
This study was carried out at Multan Medical and Dental College, Pakistan, focusing on 50 individuals who were diagnosed with dry sockets in the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department. In Group A, patients were treated with turmeric and mustard oil dressing, whereas Group B received an Alvogyl dressing.
Results:
Both groups experienced a noteworthy decrease in pain and inflammation. However, Group A exhibited a more rapid wound-healing process.
Conclusion:
Both turmeric and Alvogyl alleviate dry socket pain. However, further investigations are required to validate the dosing regimen of turmeric and evaluate its long-term safety and effectiveness.
Combined impacts of climate and land-use change on future water resources in Africa

Abstract. Africa depends on its water resources for hydroelectricity, inland fisheries and water supply for domestic, industrial and agricultural operations. Anthropogenic climate change (CC) has changed the state of these water resources. Land use and land cover have also undergone significant changes due to the need to provide resources to a growing population. Yet, the impact of the land-use and land cover change (LULCC) in addition to CC on the water resources of Africa is underexplored. Here we investigate how precipitation, evapotranspiration (ET) and river flow respond to both CC and LULCC scenarios across the entire African continent. We set up a Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT+) model for Africa and calibrated it using the hydrological mass balance calibration (HMBC) methodology detailed in Chawanda et al. (2020a). The model was subsequently driven by an ensemble of bias-adjusted global climate models to simulate the hydrological cycle under a range of CC and LULCC scenarios. The results indicate that the Zambezi and the Congo River basins are likely to experience reduced river flows under CC with an up to 7 % decrease, while the Limpopo River will likely have higher river flows. The Niger River basin is likely to experience the largest decrease in river flows in all of Africa due to CC. The Congo River basin has the largest difference in river flows between scenarios with (over 18 % increase) and without LULCC (over 20 % decrease). The projected changes have implications for the agriculture and energy sectors and hence the livelihood of people on the continent. Our results highlight the need to adopt policies to halt global greenhouse gas emissions and to combat the current trend of deforestation to avoid the high combined impact of CC and LULCC on water resources in Africa.
Sorotan Etis Kristen Terhadap Eksploitasi Seksual di Kalangan Remaja
Authors: Haditi Meilla Cheilina , Masihoru Olivia , Illuko Markus Domilius Mastilia 
Published: January 2024

Manusia diciptakan Allah khusus dengan seks yang bertujuan untuk memuliakan-Nya dan menggenapi tujuan-Nya. Allah menyetujui aktivitas seksual tetapi wadah bagi ekspresi seksual tersebut hanya di dalam pernikahan (Kej. 2:24-25) sehingga ekspresi seksual menjadi eksklusif, intim, permanen, menggembirakan dan mengikat. Oleh karna itu, semua aktivitas seks diluar pernikahan merupakan suatu tindakan yang melanggar perintah Allah.Cara pandang dan perilaku terhadap seks yang berubah terjadi karena dosa mencemari seluruh bagian dalam diri manusia (total depravity). Ketika manusia jatuh di dalam dosa maka “...segala kecenderungan hatinya selalu membuahkan kejahatan semata-mata,” (Kej. 6:5) sehingga mengakibatkan seks seringkali digunakan untuk kesenangan dan untuk melampiaskan hasrat seksual dengan mengabaikan siapa yang menjadi objeknya. Inilah yang memunculkan begitu banyak pernyimpangan seksual dimana perempuan mengalami kekerasan seksual maupun eksploitasi seksual. Tujuan Penelitian adalah untuk menjelaskan sorotan etis Kristen terhadap eksploitasi seksual. Adapun metode yang dipakai dalam penelitian ini adalah metode penelitian literatur. Hasil penelitian yang diperoleh adalah eksploitasi seksual adalah kejahatan yang sudah dan sedang terjadi di dalam masyarakat dan korbannya adalah anak-anak yang berusia remaja. Faktor pemicu anak rentan menjadi korban eksploitasi seksual adalah karena keterbatasan kemampuan fisik anak, psikis, sosial dan pengetahuan, juga berasal dari orang terdekat yang terdesak dengan kebutuhan, bahkan pacar bisa menjadi mucikari yang dengan sengaja menjual korban untuk mendapatkan keuntungan. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah tindakan eksploitasi seksual adalah tindakan yang melanggar etika Kristen, bertentangan dengan hakekat seksualitas, bertentangan dengan tujuan seksualitas, dan eksploitasi seksual bertentangan dengan natur manusia sebagai Gambar dan Rupa Allah. Eksploitasi seksual sangat nyata melanggar Firman Tuhan.
Nietzsche’s Mad Eloquence
Authors: Hill Ian E. J. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This article argues that Nietzsche advanced a rhetorical theory that enacted an attitude of creative destruction by subverting the norms of traditional, yet effective, Greco-Roman rhetoric with a dizzying, distasteful, untimely, unteachable, and impractical mad eloquence. The argument draws particular attention to two aphorisms from The Gay Science. Nietzsche partially described what I call mad eloquence in the obscure aphorism “Two Speakers” (Zwei Redner) and exemplified it with the performance of the madman in the infamous aphorism of the same name (Der tolle Mensch). The first speaker affirmed and then questioned the Greco-Roman rhetorical tradition, but the second blew it up. After establishing how and why Nietzsche confirmed the utility of traditional rhetorical theory, this article demonstrates how he redefined rhetoric as the art of discovering the available means to cultivate confusion and alienate audiences with reconceived parrhēsia, obnoxious delivery and ethos, impropriety, uncommonplaces, logical irrationality, unteachable inimitability, a very delayed persuasive effect, and an insufferable style.
Keadilan dalam Al-Qur'an (Studi Keadilan dalam Konteks Hukum Perspektif Tafsir Al-Manar)
Authors: Eka Hilwatis Sakinah  
Published: January 2024

Abstrak
Tulisan ini membahas tentang keadilan dalam konteks hukum menurut tafsir al-Manar. Para ulama menetapkan dengan tegas bahwa keadilan harus ditegakan terutama oleh penguasa, hakim, dan seluruh bagian pemerintahan. Al-Qur’an berulang kali mengungkapkan perimtah berbuat adil baik dalam bidang sosial, hukum, politik, ekonomi, maupun pendidikan. Dalam memahami keadilan dalam al-Qur’an, dibutuhkan pemahaman melaui penafsiran oleh para mufasir agar memperjelas dan mempertegas maksud dan tujuan Allah. Hal ini menjadi landasan penulis untuk melihat ayat tentang keadilan melalui tafsir al-Manar karya Muhammad Abduh dan Rasyid Ridha. Adapun fokus utama dalam penelitian ini adalah keadilan dalam konteks hukum terkhusus yang tertuang dalam surah an-Nisa (4): 58. Alasan penulis mengambil tafsir al-Manar disebabkan karena tafsir ini merupakan tafsir yang berorientasi adabi ijtima’i sehingga dalam menjelaskan tentang keadilan terhadap hukum dapat menjawab permasalahan masyarakat di era modern kontemporer ini. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kepustakaan (library research) dengan metode analisis-deskriptif. Adapun sumber data primer penelitian ini adalah tafsir al-Manar, sedangkan sumber sekunder dalam penelitian ini adalah seperti Studi Kritis tafsir al-Manar, Rasionalitas al-Qur’an, Metodologi Penafsiran al-Qur’an, serta buku-buku yang mendukung, ensiklopedia, jurnal dan literature lain yang relevan dan berkaitan. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan dokumentasi. Hasil dari penelitian ini yaitu Muhammad Abduh dan Rasyid Ridha ketika menafsirkan surah an-Nisa (4): 58 mengarah pada kriteria penegak hukum atau hakim yang adil. Hakim yang adil adalah hakim yang mengetahui syari’at Allah, tidak pandang bulu, tidak menuruti hawa nafsunya, dan selalu terbuka dengan kasus. Penafsiran demikian yang membedakan dengan kebanyakan mufasir yang mengartikan perintah adil dalam ayat ini berlaku kepada semua orang.
