COMPARISON OF THE RECREATIONAL BARRIERS OF THE MOTHERS WITH 0-2 YEARS OLD CHILDREN ACCORDING TO SOME DEMOGRAPHIC VARIABLES
Authors: Ardahan Faik , Tekmenüray Belgin Yakut 
Published: July 2023

The aim of this study is to compare the recreational barriers of mothers with 0-2-year-old children according to some demographic variables. The study is a descriptive study and is limited to mothers with children between the ages of 0-2. The random sampling method was used in this study and the sample group consisted of 213 mothers (Xage = 29.33 ± 4.78). In this study, a questionnaire form consisting of two parts was used as a data collection tool. There were questions about the demographic information of mothers in the first part, and there was Mothers' Recreational Barriers Scale (RBOMS-02) developed by Ardahan and Yakut Tekmenüray (2022) in the second part. The questionnaire was applied to mothers who were waiting at the pediatric outpatient clinics of Akdeniz University, Faculty of Medicine and Antalya Training and Research Hospital, and who voluntarily participated in the study, in stores selling baby/child supplies in the city center of Antalya between 1st October and 15th December 2019. In the evaluation of the data, besides descriptive statistics, Independent-Samples T Test in independent samples, ANOVA test and LSD test were used to determine between which groups the difference was. The results were questioned at the 0.01 and 0.05 significance level. When the recreational barriers of mothers are examined according to the "education level" variable; there is a statistically significant difference in the disadvantage of primary school graduate mothers in sub-dimensions of physical perception and health, family and others' pressure. When the recreational barriers of mothers are examined according to the variable "place of work", there is a statistically significant difference in favor of housewife, unemployed and student mothers in the "caregiver-sourced" sub-dimension. When the recreational barriers of mothers are analyzed according to the "family income" variable, there is a statistically significant difference in the disadvantage of low-income mothers in sub-dimensions of insufficient budgets/access to expensive and transportation barriers. As a result, in a society where it is difficult to be a woman, having children between the ages of 0-2 puts a burden on mothers' lives and causes them to continue their lives with many recreational obstacles.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0006/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

GENDER PERSPECTIVES IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF AFRICAN UNION AGENDA 2063: THE CASE OF KENYA 2016-2020
Authors: Kemboi Betty , Sangura Rebecca 
Published: July 2023

The paper examines triumphs, challenges, and paradigmatic shifts in terms of whether the African Union agenda 2063 has translated to any tangible change in Kenya’s quest for gender equality and development. The institutionalization of gender issues at different levels globally demonstrates the primacy of gender parity in development paradigms. AU’s agenda 2063 aspiration 6 explicitly talks of gender equality and development and provides Gender Equality and Women Empowerment (GEWE) strategy which looks toward women’s inclusion in Africa’s development. The Union outlines strategic pillars for implementation by member states. This paper provides a critical analysis of the integration of these pillars in Kenya’s development agenda. The study relied mainly on secondary data from journal articles, relevant documents from Kenya’s Gender Commission and Ministry, relevant legal instruments, and websites. It shows that no country has fully achieved gender equality but can only be categorized as either friendly or unfriendly towards it; Kenya has attained quite substantial strides in the integration of the GEWE strategy pillars; systemic and structural factors are the biggest challenges to the full realization of aspiration 6 in Kenya; quantity doesn’t necessarily translate to quality with reference to the presence of women in key institutions and positions of influence. Conclusively, the paper indicates the importance of feminization of development in Kenya; emphasizes the agency of both genders in the implementation of aspiration 6, and notes that society has failed gender equality. It recommends the collaboration of all development actors as key in the implementation and realization of aspiration 6.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0007/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
DEPICTING THE NOOMETRIC PROFILE OF TODDLERS WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER IN THE WECHSLER PRESCHOOL & PRIMARY SCALE OF INTELLIGENCE – THIRD EDITION (WPPSI-ΙΙΙ)
Authors: Vasileiadis Ilias , Dimitriadou Ioanna , Koutras Spyros , Vlachos Evangelos , Stambliakas Giorgos 
Published: July 2023

By presenting noometric tests to toddlers and young children, it is possible to depict the personal profile of every student and to designate their individual learning abilities and difficulties. The aim of this research is to determine the noometric profile of high–functioning toddlers in the Autism Spectrum, as depicted by the WPPSI-III intelligence test. A multi-methodological approach was followed for the methodological design of the paper, followed by the administration of the noometric tool to 116 toddlers who have received the relevant diagnosis and the conducting of semi-structured interviews with 105 special education kindergarten teachers who support the students in a pedagogic environment. The results of the research revealed, among other things, that the noometric abilities of infants with high-functioning ASD are lower compared to those of typically developed infants. In particular, toddlers with autism were found to have a significant statistical weakness in the knowledge of every day - practical issues, in the evaluation and use of empirical data and in the grasping of conventional rules of behavior as well as in the rate of cognitive processing. The specific findings reinforce the necessity of early intervention and individualized support in toddlers with autism targeting the above deficits.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0004/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
ADHD STUDENTS AND SCHOOL SOCIAL EDUCATION: A SWISS CASE STUDY ON THE IMPORTANCE OF EMPOWERMENT
Authors: Lutz-Fritz Alissia Jasmin , Hast Michael 
Published: July 2023

Young people with ADHD are frequently marginalised, which affects their opportunities to be included within society. This places emphasis on how students are best prepared for becoming part of that society. The present case study investigated the perceptions of a needs-based and individualised support for students with ADHD in the context of a Swiss sociocratic school, from the perspectives of students and social educators. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with students diagnosed with ADHD and a school social educator to explore the influence of the diagnosis on self-perception and self-image, as well as their needs for support from social educators. The results emphasise the significance of belongingness and empowerment for students with ADHD, and how school social educators can act as a link between school and wider society. They demonstrate the importance of individually considering the needs of students with ADHD to provide appropriate support. Recommendations for school social education are made, both for working with students within the school context as well as for preparing them for the time beyond school.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0021/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO CHILDREN AS FAMILY HEADS. AN EXPLORATORY CASE STUDY OF CHILDREN IN KAMPALA, UGANDA
Authors: Buzaare Lambert , Ankunda Comfort , Menge Robert 
Published: July 2023

Child-headed households are a new family modality that has emerged due to HIV/AIDS, parental neglect and abandonment and migration among other factors. Children have taken up parenting and care roles for themselves, their siblings and sometimes other kinsmen. As they take on such roles, they encounter several adversities and experience difficulty acquiring basic needs such as food, housing, education, medical care and clothing. These children, as family heads, interact with physical, social, and cultural environments that bring about adversities but also offer the necessary resources for meeting needs and coping with adversities. Our study sought to explore the specific resources available to children as family heads and how those resources enable child-headed households to meet their needs and cope with the adversities they encounter. We utilised a qualitative methodology with an exploratory case study design to unravel the opinions of six purposively selected children who head families in Kampala, Uganda. We gathered children’s narratives through interviews, which were later transcribed and analysed thematically. Study findings indicated that children tapped into a range of resources such as social networks, including relatives, neighbours, friends, state and civil society departments and organisations. Children as family heads also relied on family land, religiosity and participation in income-generating activities to cope with their adversities and acquire basic needs.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0007/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
The underground economy: an exploration of components, size, causes and effects
Authors: Amzuica Bogdan , Mititelu Roxana Adriana 
Published: July 2023

The underground economy, which includes unlawful activities such as fraud, illegal labour, and crime, has received much attention because of its economic and social growth consequences. This article will analyze the underground economy's components, size, causes, and impacts. The study employs comprehensive econometrics, statistical research, quantitative approaches, and real-world data from numerous countries. This study offers insight into the scale of the underground economy and its impact on society by examining descriptive statistics and doing cross-sectional studies. The underground economy is a vast and complex system encompassing various activities, from tax evasion and benefit fraud to counterfeiting and financial scams. It is estimated that the underground economy accounts for up to 30% of global GDP and can significantly impact economic growth, tax revenue, and public safety. The subsequent chapter examines the components of the underground economy, including fraudulent activities, counterfeit goods, and financial scams. It also discusses the challenges of detecting and preventing underground economic activity and the potential consequences of the underground economy for society. The paper calls for a more comprehensive approach to combating the underground economy, including measures to strengthen law enforcement, improve financial regulations, and educate the public about the risks of underground economic activity. This study investigated the relationship between the size of the population and the size of the underground economy in OECD countries. A quantitative research approach was used, and data were collected from secondary sources. The data were analyzed using SPSS software and EXCEL. The results showed a positive, linear relationship between the population and the underground economy. A stratified sampling method to collect data from OECD countries was used, where the data sources included government reports, tax records, academic research, and international databases. The data was analyzed using a simple linear regression model. The study concluded that there is enough evidence at a 95% confidence interval to suggest that the size of a country's population is directly proportional to the size of its underground economy.
Monocyte-to-HDL-cholesterol as a predictor of disease severity in acute pancreatitis
Authors: ÖZÇAĞLAYAN Ruhsen , ONMEZ Attila 
Published: July 2023

Aims: Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory process of the pancreas that can affect local tissues or distant organ systems. Recent studies have described the monocyte count to high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio (MHR) as a significant prognostic marker. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the MHR and disease severity in patients diagnosed with AP.
Methods: One hundred sixty-six AP patients were enrolled in this study. MHR and inflammatory parameters were measured for all study participants. Disease severity was measured using the Ranson score on admission, and cases were classified as mild or severe AP. MHR was then compared between the groups.
Results: MHR values were significantly higher in severe AP patients (25.2, range 7.89-77.8) compared with mild AP patients (14.32, range 0.71-80) (P=0.006). Based on the Ranson criteria, the overall accuracy of MHR in determining severe AP was sensitivity 72.7% and specificity 69% (AUC: 0.762; P=0.006). The overall accuracy of MHR in predicting disease severity was superior to other inflammatory markers.
Conclusion: The study findings indicated that MHR values are significantly elevated and capable of use in determining disease severity in AP patients.

Aortic valve regurgitation frequency following catheter ablation of premature ventricular complexes originating from coronary cusps
Authors: ZENGİN İsmet , KANAT Selcuk 
Published: July 2023

Aims: There are conflicting results about the effect of radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFA) of aortic cusp premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) on aortic valve regurgitation (AR). We aimed to investigate the effect of aortic valve function and integrity of RFA of coronary cusp PVCs.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 54 patients who underwent RFA of the aortic cusp region within the specified indications. Basal echocardiography was performed at baseline and 3 months after radiofrequency catheter ablation of aortic cusp PVCs. An increase of more than 1 degree in AR was considered significant.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 44.6±12.0 years and the male gender ratio was 42.6%. On 24-hour rhythm holter monitoring, the mean VES burden was 21.5%, of which 12.9% were right coronary cusp (RCC), 59.3% left coronary cusp (LCC), and 27.8% RCC-LCC junction. Total procedure time was 136.9±33.2 minutes and RFA time was 14.9±11.4 minutes. When pre- and post-ablation parameters were compared, left ventricular ejection fraction was found to be higher after the procedure than before the procedure (p0.05).
Conclusion: There was no increase in the degree of AR as a procedure-related complication and no significant AR was determined in patients who underwent RFA for PVCs in the aortic cusp region. Therefore, it can be concluded that VES ablations in the aortic cusp region are safe for the development of AR.
