Authors: Abd Elrahim Amany H. , Abdelnaem Safaa A. , Abuzaid Ola N. , Allah Magda F.H. 
Published: August 2022

Background
Endometriosis is a long-lasting state in which endometrial-like tissue is found outside the uterus often on the reproductive organs, bowel, and bladder.

Aim
To evaluate the effect of educational intervention and referral for early detection of endometriosis among technical secondary school students.

Patients and methods
A quasi-experimental research design was used to achieve the aim of the study.

Setting
The study was carried out at technical secondary schools for girl students at Minia City.

Sampling
A total of 300 adolescent girls were selected using a cluster sampling technique.

Tools
Four tools were used for data collection: tool 1, sociodemographic data and menstrual history; tool 2, symptoms/risk factors assessment tool for early detection of endometriosis; tool 3, knowledge assessment tool about endometriosis; and tool 4, management practices assessment tool.

Results
The current study revealed that 72.8% of girl students had poor knowledge about endometriosis in pretest, which decreased to 20.3% in posttest. In addition, there were statistically significant improvements among referred girls regarding their management practices related to symptoms suggesting endometriosis in pretest (10.3%) and posttest (77.3%). Furthermore, there were positive correlations between knowledge about endometriosis among studied students and their symptom management practices after implementation of the educational intervention.

Conclusion
Implementation of educational intervention among adolescent girls was effective in early detection and early management of endometriosis and in improving their knowledge and their management practices regarding endometriosis.

Recommendations
More research studies are needed to increase adolescent girls’ awareness regarding endometriosis because there are scant research studies in this field.
Family caregivers of children with cerebral palsy
Authors: Monem Fouad Nawal A. Al , Ali Nadia A.A. , Amen Huda A. Al 
Published: August 2022

Background
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of permanent movement disorders that appear early in life. So, having a child with disability is a major event that negatively affects families and forces families to evaluate their plans, goals, and relationships in light of restrictions and limitations associated with child disability.

Aim and objectives
The present study aimed to assess the burden and self-efficacy level of family caregivers of children with CP.

Patients and methods
This study was conducted at the National Institute of Neuro Motor Rehabilitation, Embaba, Giza Governorate.

Result
Overall, 72% of family caregivers experience moderate to severe burden and 16% experience mild to moderate burden, whereas 12% experience severe burden. Moreover, 94% of family caregivers can control thinking of how unfair they have to put up with taking care of their children with CP and 90% cannot ask a friend or family member to stay with the children with CP, whereas 88% cannot control their anger or answer their children with CP without raising their voice.

Conclusion
These results suggest caring for a child with CP may put the family caregivers at risk of moderate to severe burden and affect their relationships with other family members or friends in a negative way, and they might feel angry when they are around their relatives.

Authors: Mansour Suzan El-said , Saadoon Om Hashim Mahmoud 
Published: August 2022

Aim
The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effect of Benson’s relaxation therapy (BRT) on pain and sleep quality among post-cesarean mothers.

Design
A quasi-experimental design with the pretest and posttest control group design was used.

Setting
This study was conducted at postpartum wards at Mansoura University Hospital, Egypt.

Subjects
The purposive sample consisted of 62 post-cesarean mothers on their first and second postoperative days, who were divided into intervention and control groups of 31 participants each.

Tools
Structured interview schedule, visual analog pain scale to assess pain intensity, and Groningen sleep quality scale to assess sleep quality were used for collecting data.

Results
There was no statistically significant difference between the studied groups concerning their general characteristics. Nevertheless, a statistically significant reduction was found in the mean of post-cesarean pain score for the intervention group compared with the control group by 5.09±0.94 versus 7.03±0.66 on the second day and 2.42±1.09 versus 5.32±0.75 on the third day, respectively. Moreover, the quality of sleep improved on the second and third day postoperatively with highly statistically significant difference, whereas the mean score on the second day was 5.03±3.58 versus 8.87±4.17 compared with 2.26±2.48 versus 6.03±4.13 on the third day, respectively. Furthermore, a positive correlation was found between pain intensity and quality of sleep.

Conclusion
It was evident that BRT is an effective and safe method and have a positive effect in reducing pain intensity and improving quality of sleep among post-cesarean mothers.

Recommendations
Integrating BRT in the protocol of nursing for the care of post-cesarean section mothers.

Authors: Ebik Berat , Aslan Nihat , Ekin Nazım , Bacaksiz Ferhat , Arpa Medeni , Neselioglu Salim , Erel Ozcan , Ucmak Feyzullah 
Published: August 2022

Background:
To investigage the thiol and disulphide levels in Helicobacter pylori-positive patients with non-ulcer dyspepsia and investigate the change in these levels with eradication therapy.

Methods:
This is a prospective observational study. A total of 320 patients diagnosed with dyspepsia according to Rome IV criteria were included in the study. First, blood samples were drawn from patients to determine their serum thiol and disulphide levels. Endoscopic biopsy was performed on all patients and the biopsy specimens obtained were examined pathologically. Patients positive for H. pylori were administered eradication therapy. Blood samples were drawn from these patients for the second time, and their serum thiol and disulphide levels were measured. The thiol–disulfide levels of the patients who were successful in H. pylori eradication treatment, with those who were not, were compared before and after the treatment.

Results:
The mean plasma disulphide level decreased significantly from 14.0 ± 6.6 to 10.9 ± 5.9 μmol/L in H. pylori-positive patients that responded to the H. pylori eradication treatment (P = 0.033). On the other hand, there was an insignificant increase in the mean serum thiol level (341.4 ± 30.5 vs. 342.6 ± 29.8 μmol/L; P = 0.273) and an insignificant decrease in the mean serum disulphide level (15.2 ± 2.5 vs. 14.8 ± 2.3 μmol/L; P = 0.163) in H. pylori-positive patients that did not respond to the H. pylori eradication treatment.

Conclusion:
The inflammation caused by H. pylori shifted the thiol–disulphide equilibrium in the cell redox system towards the direction of disulphide. The study findings suggest that the restoration of the said hemostatic balance with eradication therapy relieved the organism from oxidative stress.

Authors: Stanikzai Amin 
Published: August 2022

In this research article, you will read that both parties of the agreement, Afghanistan and Pakistan, believe that good relations between the two countries can be a means of resolving many issues, including trade and transit. Afghan businessmen, government officials and general people as well as the Pakistanis hope that good relations with each other will resolve the problems of Afghan and Pakistani businessmen and will benefit people of both countries. Trade and transit problems can be solved by strengthening the bilateral relations. The problems of implementation of the APTTA Agreement are resolvable and there will be no grievances if both parties show commitment and mutual respect. Both parties accept the availability of the problems; however, each party is keen in resolving these issues on its own advantages, which complicates the implementation of the APTTA agreement. In this research article, we have tried to dig out relevant issues of Afghan and Pakistan transit and trade in accordance to the agreed terms of the APTTA agreement, concord with the regional conditions to find out the problems of Afghan and Pakistani traders and to re-sign the agreement keeping in view the suggestions from both parties with strong will so that the mentioned agreement brings prosperity and welfare to the people of the region as a whole, particularly of South and Central Asia. Both Afghan and Pakistani hope to include other countries in the agreement in the future. Afghanistan has demanded the inclusion of India and Pakistan has demanded the inclusion of Central Asian countries, especially Tajikistan. To understand the terms, used in this article, are explained in detail under a separate heading in the coming pages.

Authors: Frusinoiu Paula Ștefania , Bănacu Cristian Silviu 
Published: August 2022

Recognised as a contributor to the global burden of disease, drug use has been a source of continuous concern among practitioners and policy makers and a field for methodological debate among researchers. The consequences of substance use have always challenged the healthcare, social care, law enforcement and the legal system. This paper explores several methods used in estimating the costs and impact attributable to the use of illicit drugs with the aim of getting a broad understanding of the current research and the use thereof by practitioners and policy. The desk review behind this paper includes government reports, analyses and publications of relevant bodies, research done by various authors and organisations, academic investigations and findings from literature review. The case study includes an estimation of the burden of overdose deaths measured in years of life lost (YLL) and explores possible shortcomings that represent a challenge for research.
Comparative analysis on: Metacognition and Mindfulness in twins with Attachment and children with ASD through I.C.T.
Authors: Sideraki Angeliki , Drigas Athanasios 
Published: August 2022

The following study examines the neuroscience of attachment and the role of mindfulness and metacognition. First, the importance of mindfulness is discussed, which is strongly found in people with attachment, particularly in twins. Next, mindfulness in people with autism is examined. More specifically, the purpose of the research is to draw conclusions about the emotional intelligence that individuals with ASD develop and the levels of mindfulness and metacognition that they are able to achieve. In the course of the study, reference is made to the factors that influence their emotional development such as stress and vortices, where its role seems to be different compared to typically developing individuals because individuals with autism follow a different developmental and cognitive trajectory. Then, topic is made to the essential role of AI( artificial intelligence), which seems contribute positively to the cognitive and emotional development of children with autism as various important technologies are used, such as specially constructed and functional robots, which contribute to both the treatment and diagnosis of autism. From the present study, it was found that all the above methods contribute to improve the cognitive level of individuals with autistic disorder and to raise them to the levels of metacognition pyramid and knowledge-cognition pyramid. Finally, the role of ICT and AI is particularly helpful in achieving this ascent
Nationalization and Foreign Direct Investment in Venezuela in the Era of President Nicolas Maduro Ramos
Authors: Miavania S. , Arie Kusuma Paksi 
Published: August 2022

Venezuela has been famous of its petroleum source, and is right to be claimed for 90% of the country’s economy income since decades. Thus, Venezuela under President Chavez lead its economy through Petroleum and is seen to nationalize the economy policy. After switching from Chavez to Maduro, Venezuela is experiencing a multidimensional crisis rooted in political instability which then threatens every point of the country’s sovereignty. The fact that Nicolas Maduro is following in the footsteps of Chavez, who is anti-imperialist, has made Venezuela the target of sharp criticism from the world, especially the United States and its allies. Venezuela in fact, with its oil resources, ultimately does not want to be driven by the US or western imperialism.
This paper focuses on explaining how the nationalization policy in the Nicolas Maduro era affected the country’s FDI. This case is written by using qualitative method that collect data from article, journal, dissertation, website and any other library resources. This paper is analyzed using the concept of nationalization to build a perspective. The results of this study indicate that political tensions have caused divisions and multidimensional crises in Venezuela. During the government of Nicolas Maduro, along with the policy of nationalization of foreign companies being continuously implemented, FDI inflows were also almost non-existent. Maduro refuses any foreign aid from the West. FDI is only received from socialist countries, in this case, China.

The effects of burnout on the professional activity of teachers
Authors: Călin Mariana Floricica , Tasențe Tănase , Seucea Antonia 
Published: August 2022

In recent years, burnout has been one of the most discussed mental health issues in modern societies. In a world facing major socioeconomic challenges, people face increasing pressure in their daily lives, especially at work. As a result, managers, employees and workers in a variety of industries and sectors around the world suffer from work-related stress, fatigue and burnout, the most prominent signs of which are often referred to as burnout syndrome. However, burnout is not exclusively work-related, as findings have shown that private life and social support also play a key role (Maslach & Jackson, 1984; Sprang, Clark, Whitt-Woosley, 2007). Professionals working in the public sector have also been found to be at greater risk of burnout than those in the private sector (Sprang, et al., 2007). Exposure factors such as long hours, assignment duration, caseloads, coupled with organizational factors such as lack of autonomy, low peer support, lack of training provide conditions where burnout will permeate inevitably at work in some capacity. The results will affect not only the professional but also the effectiveness of the job and the levels of care and support for the client (Boscarino, Figley, & Adams, 2004; Sprang, et al., 2007).
A comparative analysis of stereotypes between Romania and the Republic of Moldova
Authors: Călin Mariana Floricica , Tasențe Tănase , Martinescu Octavian 
Published: August 2022

One of the current research themes, in the society we are part of, is the theme of stereotypes. Regardless of nationality, gender, faith, age, etc., people tend to judge or categorize those around them. In labeling, we don't think about what long-term effects can occur, in fact we don't think rationally when it comes to "gossip" on someone. Later, some have remorse, others feel nothing, but everything has a double meaning. Today you subject someone to prejudice, tomorrow you can be the main topic of a discussion. We are the generation of the 21st century, the century of movement and agitation. It is well known that we are rapidly modernizing technologically, we have a wider openness to learn things easily, we have the capacity and the necessary resources to create something special, something special. Even if all these things are available to us, we can, however, notice that man adapts more difficult to new changes, even more, he cannot forget old habits. Since we know the more modernized and cultured man, we notice that he is guided in society by certain criteria and false-moderate knowledge from the past. Thus, in this truly amazing era, we humans are subjected to discriminations and stereotypes long forgotten in the history of our formation.
Contributions of Research Collaboration to Innovation across Disciplines
Authors: Mensah Mavis Serwah Benneh 
Published: August 2022

On the basis of debates in literature on the usefulness of research from different disciplines to innovation, this study sought to assess the extent to which research collaboration between university researchers and the carriers of innovation yield outputs that contribute to innovation. The paper analysed data from stratified sample of academics from the Sciences, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, the Social Sciences, and the Arts, in two Ghanaian universities with the mandate to contribute to research and innovation in Ghana. Out of 266 respondents, a minimum of 40 and a maximum of 108 multiple responses were recorded on the perceived use of collaborative research findings in various types of innovation and for problem-solving. Except for service innovation, Kruskal-Wallis tests of differences across disciplines did not reveal statistically significant differences, in the extent to which the academics perceived their collaborative research findings to have contributed to innovation. Thus, all academic disciplines can be relevant to innovation and should be given the necessary policy support.

Corporate Social Responsibility and Access to Finance
Authors: Idun Anthony Adu-Asare , Gamado Joshua 
Published: August 2022

This study investigates the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and access to finance, using data from companies listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE). The study adopted multiple regression in investigating the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) in terms of profitability (measured by return on equity – ROE) and philanthropy (measured by corporate social responsibility disclosures – CSRED), and access to finance (measured by growth in equity, retained earnings, debt and working capital). Economic responsibility and access to finance measured by growth in retain earnings are negatively and insignificantly associated. Discretionary responsibility has positive and significantly relationship with growth in equity capital. Again, economic responsibility is negatively and insignificantly related to growth in debt stock, while discretionary responsibility is positively and significantly associated with growth in debt stock. Finally, economic responsibility is negatively related to growth in working capital, while discretionary responsibility is positively related to growth in working capital, but both cases are significant. The study encourages firms to embark on higher-level social responsibility since that can alleviate access to finance challenges faced by firms.
WhatsApp Usage in Administrative Processes of College of Distance Education, University of Cape Coast, Ghana
Authors: Segbenya Moses , Nyagorme Paul , Appiah Robert 
Published: August 2022

In Ghana, little is known about the educational values of WhatsApp usage as a multidimensional communication tool. WhatsApp usage is unguided and generally left in the hands of the juvenile for exploration. This article established how WhatsApp application could promote administrative processes and support for the College of Distance Education (CoDE), University of Cape Coast, Ghana. The theories informing this study were adopted from the synthetic model of motivation (Turner, 1987) and Activity Theory by Vygotsky (1978). The descriptive cross-sectional survey design was used for the study. Data collection was quantitatively done with a questionnaire as the research instrument. Census technique was employed to gather data from all the 72 Study Centre Co-ordinators of CoDE. The two objectives and four hypotheses that guided the study were analysed with frequencies and percentages, ANOVA, independent sample t-test, and multiple standard regression. The study found that most of the respondents were satisfied with WhatsApp’s use to facilitate communication among stakeholders at CoDE. It further emerged that WhatsApp messaging enables rapid feedback among the key stakeholders (administrators, course tutors and students) of CoDE. However, few co-ordinators expressed disappointment regarding members sending irrelevant information and heavy videos sometimes in ungodly hours. It was recommended that enforceable user-guidelines and policies be made explicit for members to adhere to WhatsApp platforms’ use. Also, WhatsApp groups should be organised based on homogeneous interests while usage should be supported, regulated and promoted by the management of CoDE.
