description: This study aims to compare the economic performance of Lebanon and Russia during periods of instability, focusing on the impact of economic factors on GDP fluctuations. While Russia has effectively managed economic challenges and maintained relative stability, Lebanon has faced significant financial turmoil. By examining factors and economic behaviors, the study seeks to provide insights into the distinct economic dynamics of these countries during periods of tension and instability. The study utilizes multiple regression analysis with secondary data in SPSS to analyze the relationship between various economic factors and GDP. Additionally, Monte Carlo simulation is conducted based on the results of the regression analysis to further explore potential outcomes. The study reveals that in Lebanon, trade imbalance, currency in circulation, inflation rate, and market exchange rate are negatively correlated with GDP, while personal remittances and interest rates show a positive correlation. In Russia, GDP is primarily influenced by the exchange rate and trade surplus, which is highly affected by oil exports. This research contributes to the understanding of financial and economic tensions, providing insights into the economic performance of Lebanon and Russia amid instability. The findings can inform future strategic, monetary, and budgetary decisions, highlighting the need for innovative solutions to mitigate the negative impacts of financial and geopolitical instability on economic development and societal well-being.
title: Malaria management in a fractured society: treatment-seeking behaviour in Kakuma refugee camp in North Western Kenya
Creators: name: Lomor0, OA
Publisher: name: London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine
Year: 2004

description: The effect of social, political, and economic context on treatment seeking and the effective case management of malaria is widely recognised. In refugee settings, the whole balance of society has been upset and both intra and inter- household relationships have been extensively disrupted. Many refugees undergo trauma, which may affect their perceptions of health and ill health. This study, investigated the factors influencing effective case management of malaria in the Kakuma refugee camp using a variety of data collection methods including: indepth interviews, focus group discussions, observations of clinical management and a parasite prevalence survey. The refugees and the providers of health care in Kakuma perceived that the burden of malaria was high, but the parasitological data were of insufficient quality to confirm these perceptions. Clinical management and parasitological diagnosis of malaria were insufficient and affected by: inadequately qualified and poorly motivated staff, budgetary, logistical and security constraints. Awareness of the symptoms of malaria among the refugees were relatively high, but treatment seeking was affected by the insufficient quality of malaria management, the context of the refugee camp setting, and the experiences suffered in becoming a refugee. In particular, the loss of a sense of agency and the on-going problems of nutritional and physical security influenced the refugees' motivation to seek treatment. The establishment of community health committees could provide a mechanism to address some of these contextual issues by: strengthening the relationships among the refugees health care providers and camp management; providing the refugees with a greater sense of agency; helping in the support and motivation of the health staff and providing a forum for the development of appropriate disease management programmes. This study underlines that understanding the setting and circumstances of becoming and remaining a refugee is essential to developing effective disease management strategies for refugees.

Subjects: Achaemenid art; animal motifs; jewelry; semiotics

description: Achaemenid art is a combination of different nations' art and a reflection of thought and religion of the era. Plant, human, animal motifs and a combination of them have been used in the art of the Achaemenid era. But the abundant use of animal motifs, especially in jewelry, has distinguished the Achaemenid art. The present paper aims to study the animal symbols in the jewelry of the Achaemenid era. Following a definition of the symbol, it evaluates the role and status of animal symbols in Achaemenid jewelry by categorizing and analyzing those motifs. Descriptive-analytic method has been used in this paper and data has obtained from library research. According to the results of the study, it can be found that the symbolic animal motifs were used in the jewelry of the Achaemenid era to express the power and majesty of the king and the sovereignty; they demonstrate the Iranians' particular viewpoint toward the world, religion and custom of the era and artistic qualities of the related nations.

description: Design, understood as the planning and realizing of a project for a complex, material or conceptual object, has acquired diversified meanings over the years. Among them, designer objects, expressed by the civilization that created them, bear witness to the close relationship existing between goods and works of art. Consequently, design, as an expression of creativity, is a point of convergence for beauty of form, technology and functionality and thus, for art and science.

description: Core vocabulary lists are frequently used to select vocabulary for early symbolic communicators who require augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). The current study extended existing work by investigating how core vocabulary lists overlap and diverge from typical language development. We investigated when the words on seven core vocabulary lists emerge in typical language development, the composition of the lists based on their parts of speech, and how the composition of the words on the lists compare to the MacArthur Bates Communication Development Inventories (CDI). On average, the words on the seven core vocabulary lists appear after the second year of life in children with typical spoken language development (25, 27, 37, 45, 47, 50, and 66 months). Verbs were the most prevalent part of speech in all but one of the core vocabulary lists. Core vocabulary words made up only a small percentage of words on the CDI. The words on the core vocabulary lists do not emerge until later points in typical lexical development. Focussing on core words when working with early symbolic communicators who require AAC may lead to limited and variable lexicons with wide gaps.

description: This study aims to describe the experiences and needs of Canadian speech-language pathologists (SLPs) who conducted communication assessments via telepractice across the lifespan during the first year (2020) of the COVID-19 pandemic. The present study consisted of an online survey that aimed to capture both quantitative aspects of telepractice-based communication assessment and the qualitative experience of shifting to telepractice. One hundred sixty-eight practicing SLPs across Canada participated in the survey, between September 2020 and January 2021. Quantitative results were analysed using descriptive statistics while open-ended responses were analysed using thematic analysis. SLPs identified challenges and opportunities relating to client and family engagement, access to and knowledge of technology, and the reliability of assessment tools. SLPs also identified a future need for online assessment materials and training, such as materials adapted for different communication needs (e.g. augmentative and alternative communication). The present study contributes to a growing understanding worldwide of potential benefits and challenges related to telepractice, fuelled by the necessary shift in practices in our field during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results provide direction for continuing to build a valid and inclusive approach to telepractice in the future.

Subjects: Diocesan Museum in Monreale; textile artefacts; museological project; virtual exhibition

description: The recent decision to convert the Benedictine Dormitory in Monreale into an exhibition site offers the opportunity to enjoy the whole monumental complex where the wonderful cloister is the core attraction. It is on this site that the Norman Cathedral stands, brightly decorated with golden mosaics. The new exhibition has gathered together the artworks from the ruined abbey of Santa Maria del Bosco in Calatamauro and added them to the artefacts already exhibited at the Diocesan Museum. They include marble gravestones from the 16th-17th century church and those dating to the 18th century; one stone is in polychrome marble of the family of the canons, Candes and Donato; another was used for the burial of the monks from the period of the Olivetan refoundation, characterized by the Order’s coat of arms and attributed to Girolamo Musca. There are also majolica tiles from the chapels in cornu evangelij (left side of the altar) adorned with large vegetal-shaped decorations, provided by Palermitan manufacturers in the mid-eighteenth century. They are found next to the remnants of the majolica tiles still in situ, executed in 1762 by the potters from Burgio, in Sicily. Rosario Rosso (also Russo) and Giuseppe Virgadamo. Also commissioned after the refoundation of the holy temple are the four artworks by the painter Ippolito Ferrante, three of which, Sacrificio di Isacco, Melchisedec and Giale e Sisar, are on exhibition in the prestigious museum. Alongside these artworks are noteworthy textile artefacts made between the second half of the 16th and second half of the 18th centuries some of which are linked to the munificent figures of archbishops such as Ludovico II Torres and Francesco Testa.

description: Speech-language pathology (SLP) is considered an essential intervention due to the high prevalence of dysphagia and dysarthria in paediatric neuromuscular disorders (pNMD). Evidence-based guidelines for SLP in pNMD are missing and children could be deprived the best of care. This study aimed to achieve consensus and present best practice recommendations on SLP intervention in pNMD. A modified Delphi technique was used with a panel of experienced Dutch speech-language pathologists. In two online survey rounds and a face-to-face consensus meeting, the SLP experts proposed intervention items for cases of four types of pNMD (congenital myopathy, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, myotonic dystrophy type 1, and spinal muscular atrophy type 2), covering symptoms of dysphagia, dysarthria, drooling, and oral hygiene problems. They rated the level of agreement. Intervention items that achieved consensus were incorporated into best practice recommendations. These recommendations cover six core intervention components (wait and see, explanation and advice, training and treatment, aids and adjustments, referral to other disciplines, and monitoring) suitable for the described symptoms. Insight into treatment options is essential to facilitate speech-language pathologists in clinical decision-making. The current study led to best practice recommendations for speech-language pathologists working within the field of pNMD.

description: Limited research informs management of cognitive-communication difficulties following traumatic brain injury (TBI) in older adulthood. The purpose of this study was to understand the characteristics and practice of speech-language pathologists (SLPs) working with people who sustained TBI at ≥55 years and more specifically their management of cognitive-communication difficulties with this population. This included assessment and treatment practices, resource needs, barriers to practice, and impact to service delivery from COVID-19 restrictions. A cross-sectional survey-based design with non-probability sampling of SLPs working in Australia with adults with TBI was utilised. Descriptive statistics and content analysis were used for analysis of survey data. Fifty responses were eligible for inclusion. Participants predominantly worked in inpatient rehabilitation (48%), acute (40%), and community settings (36%). Service delivery to adults who sustained TBI at ≥55 years commonly included cognitive-communication management. Assessment and treatment trends are described. Most SLPs (74%) perceived barriers to cognitive-communication management, often relating to time and funding, that existed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Pandemic restrictions presented additional challenges. Research relating to cognitive-communication difficulties following TBI in older adulthood is required to support evidence-based practice and inform services for older adults who sustain TBI.

description: Aphasia Nexus: Connecting Evidence to Practice is a theoretically-based online implementation intervention designed to overcome the barriers related to the implementation of intensive and comprehensive aphasia services. The objective was to establish the feasibility of incorporating Aphasia Nexus within routine clinical practice through an evaluation of: (1) its potential to positively influence the intensity and/or comprehensiveness of aphasia services; (2) the ability of selected outcome measures to capture changes to factors influencing implementation; and (3) the acceptability of the website to on-site speech-language pathologists (SLPs). A single arm pre-post pilot trial was conducted within an Australian health service. The design collected qualitative and quantitative pre-post data in the form of therapy logs, behaviour change questionnaires, and a post-intervention focus group. Data were collected one week prior to, and one week following, a 12 week implementation period where participating SLPs (n = 5) were provided access to the Aphasia Nexus website. Quantitative data revealed improvements in the median time per patient with aphasia from 65 to 115 minutes per week (intensity/dose), an additional 50 minutes per week. SLPs trialled at least one new therapy approach (Attentive Reading and Constrained Summarisation) and service delivery model (group therapy) representing an increase in the comprehensiveness of their services to patients. SLPs perceived a reduction in the barriers associated with the promotion of new aphasia services. Qualitative analysis of focus group discussion revealed that participants considered Aphasia Nexus in the overarching theme of practice efficiency (obtaining the best outcome from the least amount of effort) and the sub-themes of accessible therapy resources and the prioritisation of time. Overall, Aphasia Nexus was considered a useful clinical tool with the potential to positively influence clinical aphasia practice. These results will inform further implementation intervention refinements and will inform the methodology of future research.

description: Introduction: Screening for breast cancer (BC) is of low rate in Saudi Arabia; although it is provided in the country free of charge to the population. This cross-sectional study aimed at investigating the perceived barriers towards BC screening in Al Hassa, Saudi Arabia. Participants and Methods:  A total of 816 adult Saudi women aged ≥ 30 years attending for routine primary health services or accompanying patients at the selected primary health care centers (PHCs) were randomly selected from 12 PHCs (8 urban and four rural) using multi-stage sampling method. Participants were invited to personal interview using semi-structured data collection instrument including inquiries about socio-demographics, reproductive history, previous histories of diagnosed breast lesions and breast cancer. The perceived individual barriers towards screening, their attitudes, the reasons for not attending previously held screening campaigns in Al Hassa, were also included. Results: Low utilization of BC screening being significantly positively associated with woman’s age, higher educational status, higher family income, using hormonal contraception and positive history of previous breast as shown by the results of the logistic regression model. Exploratory factor analysis showed that personal fears (especially fear of doctors/examiners, fear of hospitals and health facilities and fear of consequences/results) were the major factors that hinder women from utilizing the free of charge BC screening with high loading eigenvalue of 3.335, explaining 30.4% of the barriers. Conclusion: Educational interventions aim at improving breast cancer knowledge and addressing barriers   should be incorporated as core component of the screening program in Saudi Arabia.

Creators: name: Gamaoun, Rihab
Publisher: name: Department of Health Science - University of Genoa
Year: 2018
Subjects: Cervical cancer prevention, anti-HPV vaccine, acceptability

description: Objectives: Epidemiological and biological arguments put papillomavirus infection (HPV) as a determining factor in the etiology of cervical cancer. The main aim of this study is to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to HPV prevention and cervical cancer screening among women living in the city of Sousse, Tunisia.

Methods: Five hundred self-administered questionnaires were distributed to randomly selected women in the general population. These questionnaires were administrated through direct interview of patients visiting the outpatient clinics in “Farhat Hached Hospital” and in the waiting area of the National Health Insurance Fund – CNAM from May to June 2016.

Results: Four hundred fifty-two participants took part in this study. The knowledge of the sexually transmitted infection as an etiological agent for cervical cancer was expressed by only 175 (38,7%)women and the correct recommended frequency for the Pap smear test by 176 (38,9%) of the respondents. Among all the participants, 125 (27,7%) had already received the Pap smear test at least once in a lifetime. Despite that, 363 (80,3%) of the respondents were interested in the anti-HPV vaccine for themselves, 387 (86%) for their daughters and 405 (90%) by the introduction of the vaccine in the national program of vaccination.

Conclusion: The knowledge of HPV infection and cervical cancer among Tunisian women was found to be low to moderate and the anti-HPV infection was found to be moderate to high. These results are concordant with the results of other studies conducted in other MENA countries.

Science Policy

description: Purpose: Speech-language pathology (SLP) is considered an essential intervention due to the high prevalence of dysphagia and dysarthria in paediatric neuromuscular disorders (pNMD). Evidence-based guidelines for SLP in pNMD are missing and children could be deprived the best of care. This study aimed to achieve consensus and present best practice recommendations on SLP intervention in pNMD. Method: A modified Delphi technique was used with a panel of experienced Dutch speech-language pathologists. In two online survey rounds and a face-to-face consensus meeting, the SLP experts proposed intervention items for cases of four types of pNMD (congenital myopathy, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, myotonic dystrophy type 1, and spinal muscular atrophy type 2), covering symptoms of dysphagia, dysarthria, drooling, and oral hygiene problems. They rated the level of agreement. Result: Intervention items that achieved consensus were incorporated into best practice recommendations. These recommendations cover six core intervention components (wait and see, explanation and advice, training and treatment, aids and adjustments, referral to other disciplines, and monitoring) suitable for the described symptoms. Conclusion: Insight into treatment options is essential to facilitate speech-language pathologists in clinical decision-making. The current study led to best practice recommendations for speech-language pathologists working within the field of pNMD.

Subjects: Town Service Workers; Leptospirosis; Knowledge; Attitude; Practice

description: Introduction. Many efforts have been done to reduce leptospirosis infections in Malaysia especially among high risk groups including town service workers. Town service workers are more likely to be exposed to the leptospiral infection resulting from their occupational activities.

Methods. A cross sectional study was conducted in northeastern Malaysia involving 321 town service workers who were subjected to answer an interviewer-guided validated questionnaire which consists of sociodemographic, knowledge, attitude and practice information. Data were entered and analyzed using SPSS Version 20.

Results. All of the respondents were Malay with mean (SD) age of 40.6 (10.28) years old. The mean (SD) duration of employment was 12.1 (9.62) years. Fifty four respondents (16.8%) had never heard of leptospirosis. Among the respondents, 215 (67.0%) of them had poor knowledge on leptospirosis. Meanwhile, 167 (52.0%) and only 128 (39.9%) of them had satisfactory attitude and practice respectively. It was found that knowledge on risk factors for leptospirosis was lacking. There were high risk attitudes such as drinking habit and protective equipment used during working with the favourable answers ranged from 67.3% to 89.1%. The weakest area identified in their practice was also on the use of protective equipment.

Conclusions. The workers’ level of knowledge and practice were relatively poor despite an overall good practice on leptospirosis. This finding might expose them to an increased risk of contracting leptospirosis. Identified weak areas in their knowledge, attitude and practice will assist the policy makers to develop a focused and well-directed intervention program on leptospirosis infection.

description: Clopidol is extensively used in livestock farming and residues of this antibiotic can persist in animal tissues, posing a risk to humans and the environment. In this study, we investigated the depletion of clopidol in various edible tissues of chickens (muscle, liver, kidney, fat, and eggs) using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry after the administration of a clopidol-contaminated diet (at 250 mg kg−1 for the high (1x) dose). After 14 d of exposure, the clopidol concentrations were highest in eggs (median: 9.83 mg/kg), followed by liver (3.56 mg/kg), kidney (3.01 mg/kg), muscle (1.56 mg/kg), and fat (0.727 mg/kg) at low exposure group, indicating that clopidol accumulated primarily in eggs rather than the other edible tissues. In addition, the maternal transfer ratios were estimated, and the transfer efficiencies of clopidol in muscle (egg-to-tissue ratio, ETR:1.81) and fat (2.06–58.2) were higher than those in liver (0.731–31.1) and kidney (0.832–38.9). Furthermore, we conducted a cumulative risk assessment for clopidol in edible chicken tissues using the hazard quotient (HQ) method. This assessment revealed that the exposure levels for Korean consumers pose an acceptable risk. However, for eggs from the 1x dose exposure group, the HQ values were greater than 1 for all age groups, particularly for young children (<18 y), suggesting that the higher daily consumption of eggs combined with the higher clopidol residues in eggs resulted in higher HQ values, which requires further attention. The findings of this study can assist in the management and monitoring of clopidol residues in chicken tissues and eggs
A screening focusing on alcohol consumption withdrawal effects in student’s population
Creators: name: Blanquet, Marie
Publisher: name: Department of Health Science - University of Genoa
Year: 2018
Subjects: Alcohol drinking, college students, prevention, alcohol misuse, screening tool

description: Introduction: Students overestimate alcohol consumption of those around them and underestimate their own, so that quantitative approach may not be the most relevant to assess students’ drinking. The main objective was to provide an appropriate tool for screening students’ drinking.

Methods: A multicentre cross-sectional survey was conducted by internet between February and June, 2013 in France. Thirteen questions explored alcohol consumption of which 8 concerned withdrawal effects (4 items of the AUDIT) and alcohol behaviour (CAGE test). A multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) was conducted to identify profiles of student’s alcohol consumption. Partitioning methods were used to group students according to their mode of alcohol use. The most relevant items included in the MCA were identified. Three questions were identified as most pertinent among the students with potential drinking problems and ranked by a decision tree with the Chi-square Automatic Interaction Detector method. Finally, the generalization of our model was assessed.

Results: A total of 36,427 students participated in the survey: 25,679 females (70.5% of respondents), sex ratio 0.42 and mean aged 21.2 (sd 3.7 years). Among those who had experimented with alcohol (N=33,113), three consumption profiles were identified: “simple/non-use” (66.9%), “intermediate consumption” (25.9%) and “problem drinking” (7.2%)  Instead, for the latter group, the three most relevant items were (Q20) "not able to stop drinking after starting”, (Q21) "failed to do what was normally expected”, and (Q23) "unable to remember what happened the night before”.

Conclusions: Healthcare professionals have a screening tool of three items for students’ drinking.
