Abstract While a flatter diurnal cortisol slope has been related to poor health outcomes in healthy populations, little is known about this relationship in persons living with dementia (PLWD). The purpose of this study was to examine the association between diurnalcortisol slope and neuropsychiatric symptoms in PLWD. Secondary data analysis was conducted using baseline data from the Healthy Patterns Study (N=168). Diurnal cortisol slope was calculated using the difference between changes in salivary cortisol from 30 minutes after awakening to bedtime. Spearman rho coefficients were used. Flatter cortisol slope was associated with the presence of symptoms of agitation (r=-0.191, p=0.013) and disinhibition (r=-0.168, p=0.03). Steeper cortisol slope was related to a more severe level of anxiety symptoms (r=0.36, p=0.009) and higher frequency of insomnia (r=0.292, p=0.011). We found that cortisol slope was associated with neuropsychiatric symptoms in PLWD. Future research is needed to examine the mechanisms underlying the relationships.

Abstract Circadian rhythm disturbances (CRD) are commonly seen in people living with dementia. A clear understanding of the role of CRD in dementia etiology will be beneficial by exploring the exogenous factors (externally influence the duration of sleep hours, such as light/dark cycles) and endogenous factors (internal biological rhythm, such as diurnal cortisol pattern). This symposium will apply a chronobiological approach to study exogenous and endogenous factors that influence circadian rhythm and their effects on sleep and neuropsychiatric symptoms in persons living with dementia (PLWD). Four paper presentations will use secondary data analysis of data from the Healthy Patterns Clinical Trial (NCT03682185), a randomized controlled trial of a home-based activity intervention designed to improve circadian rhythm disorders in PLWD. We will first describe the circadian rhythm pattern reflected by endogenous factors (salivary cortisol), then examine salivary cortisol (endogenous) and white light intensity (exogenous) and on subjective sleep and neuropsychiatric symptoms (including depression) in PLWD, respectively. In session 1, we will present cortisol diurnal rhythm pattern in PLWD using a cross-sectional design. In session 2, we will discuss the relationship between salivary cortisol indicators and depressive symptoms. In session 3, we focus on the association between diurnal cortisol slope and neuropsychiatric symptoms using the baseline data. In session 4, we describe the association between evening white light exposure and subjective sleep. The discussant will describe how these findings build on our understanding the nature of circadian rhythm disturbance in dementia and inform future research and treatment approaches.

BACKGROUND: In anticipation of coronavirus disease (COVID)-19’s transmission peak, Eid-al-Fitr homecoming (mudik) has officially been banned by the Indonesian government interlocal but not local in welcoming this religious Muslim celebration. This local Mudik is held by traveling among regional provinces and is still allowed by each local government, including Java, which has the highest transmission of COVID-19 in Indonesia. AIM: This study aims to present the difference between COVID-19 status before and during local Mudik on Java during Ramadhan with the implementation of large-sale social distancing applied in Jakarta, Indonesia. METHODS: This research was employed by secondary data analysis that was obtained from surveillance data from related authorities, including the Ministry of Health and all local governments of Java, which consisted of four provinces and Jakarta. Incidence and suspect statuses of COVID-19, which were examined in the study, were presented in daily rates with before and during local Mudik in four provinces: Jawa Barat, Yogyakarta, Banten, and Jawa Tengah. RESULTS: The number of positive confirmed patients differed significantly with before and during local Mudik (p < 0.05; mean difference = −/negative values). CONCLUSION: This study’s findings showed that the local Mudik increased the number of COVID-19 cases in four provinces in Java, which these provinces were designated as Mudik destinations by travelers coming from Jakarta during the end of Ramadhan season.

The purpose of this study is: to test whether there are differences in financial performance between Savings and Loans Cooperatives and Sharia Financing (KSPPS) and Conventional Savings and Loans Cooperatives (KSP) by comparing 5 (five) variables, namely: Liquidity, Solvency, Economic Rentability, Asset Growth , and Member Growth. This study uses secondary data with a total of 10 (ten) Cooperatives with details of 5 (five) Savings and Loan Cooperatives and Shari’ah Financing (KSPPS) and Conventional Savings and Loans Cooperatives (KSP) of 5 (five) with observation periods between 2013 - 2017. The statistical analysis method used is the two average differences used to test the difference in performance of the two data groups with 5 (variables) measured. The results showed that the variable Liquidity, Solvabolity, Asset Growth, and Member Growth there was no difference in performance between Savings and Loans Cooperatives and Sharia Financing (KSPPS) with Conventional Savings and Loans Cooperatives (KSP). While the Economic Rentability variable shows a difference, namely KSPSS has better performance than KSP. The limitations of this study are the shorter observation time and the small number of samples. While suggestions can be given for future research is that more research samples can be added, research variables can also be added and the research area can be expanded.

Children with asthma are exposed to antibiotics more frequently than their peers. The quality of provider-patient discussion about antibiotics is unknown. In this secondary data analysis, we reviewed existing transcripts of audiotaped adolescent asthma visits using a standardized coding sheet to analyze the quality of communication about antibiotics. Of 539 transcripts, we identified 12 discussions about antibiotics. No patient or parent requested antibiotics. In most cases, discussion was limited to assessment of drug allergies and preferred formulation. In 5 cases (42%), the prescribed antibiotic was not named. We propose a set of communication elements that should be included whenever antibiotics are prescribed, classified into ( a) Essential, such as the drug name and dosing schedule; ( b) Encouraged, such as expected response to therapy; or ( c) Situational, such as discussion of alternatives to antibiotics. Future research should further explore the quality of antibiotic-related conversations among different groups of providers and patients.

Abstract: This article explores West-African modes of mobilisations confronting the externalisation of European borders. At the hands of a secondary data analysis, this article critically examined the most recent publications in relation to this topic, guided by the following research question: How do West-African modes of mobilisations challenge EU mobility regimes? This research identified governments, local organisations, (potential) migrants, expelled migrants, media, academia and writers and transnational social movements as relevant actors with different modes of action. This research suggests that there are multiple West-African modes of mobilisations that challenge EU mobility regimes, confront the problematisation of non-sedentary lifestyles and see mobility as a strategy and a solution for a bottom-up process of globalisation and as an inherent part of West-African mobile societies; existing next to African modes of mobilisations that have become part of EU mobility regimes. The objective of this research is to promote future research by increasing the visibility and political agency of the transformative possibilities of African modes of mobilisations.

Disability Support

Through a secondary data analysis of administrative data of the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) between 2003 and 2013, we aim to understand the interlocking challenges encountered by newcomers with disabilities in Canada that contribute to this population’s financial hardship. Our findings show that newcomers with disabilities on ODSP were more likely to have post-secondary education, to be older adults, to be married, common-law, and to be female who were divorced, separated, or widowed as compared to Canadian-born recipients, who were more likely to be less educated, younger, single and male. The ratio of Canadian-born to newcomer recipients on the ODSP was high between 2003 and 2013, indicating that the latter were under-represented on the program. Implications for this under-representation support future research to examine the full integration and participation of newcomers with disabilities in Canada.

Hemoglobin is the main component of red blood cells, a conjugated protein that functions to transport oxygen and carbon dioxide. Hemoglobin examination can be done using a hematology analyzer and spectrophotometry. This study aims to determine the data analysis whether there is a difference in hemoglobin levels using a hematology analyzer and spectrophotometry in pregnant women. The method used is Literature Review; the nature of this research is descriptive. The population of this research is health journals that have been through screening, namely journals of differences in hemoglobin levels using a hematology analyzer and spectrophotometry in pregnant women. In this study, the data used are secondary data and data analysis using qualitative data. The results of the evaluation of the study by the Literature Review with hemoglobin levels in pregnant women at Hermina Hospital, Surakarta, showed that the average hemoglobin level of 30 samples of pregnant women using a hematology analyzer was below normal, namely 10.3 gr/dL and normal hemoglobin level is 12.80 gr/dL. The hemoglobin level using spectrophotometry and hematology analyzer on the sample was immediately checked, the results of the hemoglobin levels were 12.98 gr/dL and 11.70 g/dL, respectively. The hemoglobin level showed that the average hemoglobin before being given Fe-Folate with orange water was 11.71 g/dL. The conclusion of this study is the difference in hemoglobin levels is not much different, so there is no difference between the spectrophotometry and the hematology analyzer
