A crisis in a person's life is a state in which an individual encounters an obstacle in his or her life that he or she cannot overcome with standard solutions strategies. Simultaneously, a person must/have to start to solve the situation and not let the problem grow into a difficult situation. The crisis is generally perceived as a threat to the individual who finds himself in it. However, some authors mention the positive potential it can have. As this is a new situation in a person's life, it encourages him to think about the future and the changes that can get him out of a crisis. Crisis intervention is a professional service provided by social educators, social workers, or psychologists. The research aims to find out how the public perceives the issue of crisis intervention. What crises have the respondents already encountered, and what help they prefer. In addition, what is the public's knowledge of the basic concepts and forms of assistance provided? The sample size is 309 respondents. We investigated whether there was a significant difference in the characteristics of the crisis intervention concerning education, which we verified with the Chi-Square test and whether there is concerning age and the relationship between surviving the crisis and seeking professional help.

Background: Palmaris longus (PL) tendon is often used as graft in tendon or ligament reconstruction. PL absence is a normal variation in human body. Its prevalence was different in various population. Serbian population had an absence rate of 42.4%, but in the Korean population it was only 4.0%. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of PL absence in various ethnic of Indonesian population and its relationship with gender and side of hand dominance. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study in 1230 people from six ethnicities in Indonesia. The absence of PL was determined by Schaeffer test and confirmed with Mishra and Thompson test. Data collection was performed by a single examiner in various cities in Indonesia. The relationship between PL absence with ethnicity, gender, and hand dominance were determined by Chi-square test. Results: Prevalence of PL absence in overall Indonesian population was 10.4% (bilateral 37.5% and unilateral 62.5%). The highest were in Batak and Madura ethnicities (15.5%), followed by Sunda (11.8%), Java (10.0%), Betawi (6.0%), and the lowest was Minang ethnicity (4.1%) (p = 0.008). Prevalence of PL absence in female and male were 10.7% 10.2%, respectively, p > 0.05).Conclusion: Compared to range of prevalence in other countries in the world, prevalence of PL absence in Indonesian population was moderate (10.4%). There was significant difference found between ethnicity, but not in gender. Surgeon should consider this data when planning for reconstruction procedures using PL graft in Indonesian population.

Background and objectives: The pathophysiology of tethered cord syndrome (TCS) in children is not well elucidated. An inelastic filum terminale (FT) is the main factor underlying the stretching of the spinal cord in TCS. Our study aimed to investigate the expression of glutathione-S-transferase (GST) in children and fetal FT samples in order to understand the relationship between this enzyme expression and the development of TCS. Materials and Methods: FT samples were obtained from ten children with TCS (Group 1) and histological and immunohistochemical examinations were performed. For comparison, FT samples from fifteen normal human fetuses (Group 2) were also analyzed using the same techniques. Statistical comparison was made using a Chi-square test. Results: Positive GST-sigma expression was detected in eight (80%) of 10 samples in Group 1. The positive GST-sigma expression was less frequent in nine (60%) of 15 samples from Group 2. No statistically significant difference was detected between the two groups (p = 0.197). Conclusions: Decreased FT elasticity in TCS may be associated with increased GST expression in FT. More prospective studies are needed to clarify the mechanism of the GST–TCS relationship in children.

Professions aimed at helping and supporting a person in a difficult situation, with their traditions and principles of assisting activities, have existed since ancient times. The main purpose of the helping professions is to improve the quality of life of the person who sought help and to activate his inner potential. The importance of existential problems and their solution in the way of the professions plays a special role, since only a harmonious person who has reached agreement with himself and the outside world can fully open up in the profession. Despite the individual specifics of each profession; regardless of the direction of his work, the helper must have not only a certain set of personal qualities and a proper level of professional knowledge, but also an understanding, awareness and acceptance of the level of responsibility that he bears for what is happening in the work process. The study describes the relationship of future aid specialists to existential problems, professional responsibility and future profession.

Perinatal death is an indicator of the success implementing a country's health services. Perinatal death rate in Indonesia in 2012 was 26/1000 live births. In 2017 there were 225 cases of infant mortality from 34,669 births in Jember Regency. Perinatal death is influenced by maternal, infant, health services and the living environment. The environmental conditions of the residence can be affected by cigarette smoke. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship of exposure tobacco smoke in pregnant women with perinatal death in Jember Regency and to find out the main source of exposure tobacco smoke in pregnant women in Jember Regency. Type of research is analytic observation with case control study design. The sampling technique is consecutive sampling. The study sample was mothers who had a dead baby in the perinatal period (perinatal death) who resided in the Jember regency on the birth of January-December 2017. The sample size was 30 for each group. Collected data was carried out by univariate analysis and bivariate analysis using the chi-square test and fisher exact test if the chi-square test requirements were not met. Results of univariate analysis in this study showed that 89.47% of the main sources of exposure tobacco smoke originated from home and 73.68% from husbands. Results of the chi-square test between exposure tobacco smoke with perinatal death p value 0.579 (p> 0.05). Confounding variables that had no significant difference between the case and control groups were parity (p = 0.116, p> 0.05), education (p = 0.083, p> 0.05), birth distance (p = 0.26, p> 0.05), and birth attendants (p = 0.492, p> 0.05). Based on the results of these studies it can be concluded that exposure tobacco smoke in pregnant women is not associated with perinatal death and the main source of exposure tobacco smoke in pregnant women comes from home and at most from husbands.   Keywords: exposure tobacco smoke, pregnant women, perinatal death

The aim of the present study was to perform lifetime performance analysis in three pig breeds; Hungarian Large White (n=295), Duroc (n=76) and Pietrain (n=91) on a commercial farm using analysis of survival sows. We took into consideration the age of sows at the time of their inclusion into breeding, their age at the time of culling, time spent in production, number of mating and parities, parity percentage, intervals between litters, number and mean of piglets born alive and born dead, number of raised piglet litters, number and mean of 21 days old piglets, the weight and mean of raised litter and raise percentage. We carried out the analysis by SPSS 22.0. Single factor analysis of variants, Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox PH model were used. The determination of the significance of risk rates differences was done by Wald chi square test. Our results showed that the average culling age were 1056 (±33.52) days for the Hungarian Large White, 735 (±73.56) days for Duroc and 818 (±71.98) days for the Pietrain. The log rank test of the survival analysis indicated a significant difference between the three tested genotypes (χ2=16.981, P<0.001), which means that the survival percentage of the individual breeds varied significantly from one another. In comparison with the Hungarian Large White genotype the Duroc genotype has a 1.6 times higher (P<0.001) culling risk while that of the genotype Pietrain was 1.36 times higher (P<0.001). Our results can be used to compare the breeds kept under the same conditions and to compare the life span of one genotype under different farming conditions. Factors that increase survival and improve the profitability of pig farming can be determined by this method.

This study tried to investigate the role of interpersonal meta-discourse markers such as boosters. In order to illuminate this relation, 15 medical and 15 applied linguistics articles were selected randomly from around 50 articles. Therefore, quantitative and qualitative methods were applied to answer the research questions to identify the frequency and percentage of booster employment in their discussion sections. Moreover, to determine the supposedly meaningful differences between booster applications in the corpus, the chi-square test was used. The findings showed that there was not any significant difference between applied and medical articles in using boosters in their discussion section. Moreover, it was found that boosters such as it is clear that, definitely, certainly, really, totally, always were the most frequent ones which were used in two groups of articles namely applied and medical articles. Since meta-discourse markers, i.e., boosters play crucial roles in mediating the relationship between what writers intend to argue and their discourse communities, the results of the present study have obvious importance in increasing students’ awareness of the way they organize their writings.

Abstract One of the government’s efforts to reduce MMR, which is still high, is the implementation of the Antenatal Care (ANC) program at the primary health center (PHC). Besides, the government also accredits PHC to improve the quality of health services starting in 2015, so it is hoped that ANC achievements will increase. This study aims to determine the relationship between accreditation status and ANC achievements in PHC. The study design was cross-sectional with a sample of 103 accredited PHC. The distribution of PHC samples is seen based on the 2013 Public Health Development Index (IPKM) categorized as low, medium, and high. Analysis of the relationship between accreditation status and the K4 achievement program used the chi-square test. The results of this study indicate that the majority of the PHC in the sample are distributed in areas with a high and medium IPKM areas. The relationship between accreditation status and K4 achievement showed a value of p = 0.034. The logistic regression results showed that when compared with primary - complete accredited PHC, basic PHC had OR = 0.224 (95% CI: 0.064 - 0.786) with p = 0.020 to the proportion of K4 achievements. Meanwhile, the middle PHC had OR = 0.517 (95% CI: 0.146 - 1.828) with a p-value = 0.306. This study concludes that the accreditation status of PHC is related to the proportion of K4 achievements. The proportion of K4 achievements increases with the increase in the level of PHC accreditation. A basic accredited PHC has a chance to achieve K4 by 0.224, lower than a primary – complete accredited PHC. There was no significant difference between middle accredited PHC with primary - complete PHC for the proportion of K4 achievement Abstrak Salah satu upaya pemerintah menurunkan AKI yang masih tinggi adalah dengan pelaksanaan program Antenatal Care (ANC) di puskesmas. Selain itu, pemerintah juga melakukan akreditasi puskesmas untuk meningkatkan mutu pelayanan kesehatan yang dimulai tahun 2015, sehingga diharapkan capaian ANC meningkat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan status akreditasi terhadap capaian ANC di puskesmas. Desain penelitian ini adalah crosssectional dengan sampel penelitian sebanyak 103 puskesmas terakreditasi. Sebaran sampel puskesmas dilihat berdasarkan Indeks Pembangunan Kesehatan Masyarakat (IPKM) tahun 2013 dengan dikategorikan sebagai IPKM rendah, sedang, dan tinggi. Analisis hubungan status akreditasi dengan program capaian K4 digunakan uji chi-square. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan mayoritas puskesmas yang menjadi sampel terdistribusi pada wilayah dengan IPKM tinggi dan sedang. Hasil analisis chi-square hubungan antara status akreditasi dengan ketercapaian K4 menunjukkan nilai p=0,034. Hasil regresi logistik menunjukkan bahwa jika dibandingkan dengan puskesmas terakreditasi utama-paripurna, puskesmas terkareditasi dasar mempunyai OR = 0,224 (95%CI: 0,064 - 0,786) dengan nilai p = 0,020 terhadap proporsi capaian K4. Sedangkan puskesmas terkareditasi madya mempunyai OR = 0,517 (95% CI: 0,146 - 1,828) dengan nilai p = 0,306. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah status akreditasi puskesmas berhubungan dengan proporsi capaian K4. Proporsi capaian K4 meningkat seiring meningkatnya satus akreditasi puskesmas. Puskesmas terakreditasi dasar mempunyai peluang untuk tercapaianya K4 sebesar 0,224 lebih rendah dibandingkan puskesmas terakreditasi utama - paripurna. Tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara puskesmas terakreditasi madya dengan puskesmas terakreditasi utama-paripurna terhadap proporsi capaian K4.

Abstract Background to evaluate the distribution of lingual foramina (LF) and their correlation with demographic characteristics and mandible width in a series of patients subjected to cone-beam CT (CBCT). Methods CBCTs were reviewed to assess the number of all LF, midline and lateral LF. We also assessed the relationship of the number of lateral LF with gender and mandibular width using the Chi Square test. A p value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results 300 patients (180 males; age range: 21-87years) were included. The highest frequency per patient was of 2 LF (97/300, 32.3%), followed by 3 (81/300, 27%) and 4 (53/300, 17.7%). No LF were observed in 2/300 patients (0.7%), while the highest number was of 8 LF in one patient. The highest frequency of midline LF per person was of 2 LF (57.3%, 172/300), while the highest number per person was 5 LF in one patient (0.3%). The highest frequency of midline LF located above and below the genial tubercle was of 1 in 197/300 patients (65.7%) and in 169/300 patients (56.3%), respectively. Concerning lateral LF, the highest frequencies were of 0 (113/300, 37.7%) and of 1 (112/300, 37.3%). We did not observe any significant difference of the number of midline and lateral LF based on gender (P = .438 and P = .195, respectively) or mandible width (P = .069 and P = .114, respectively). Conclusions We have shown the high variability of number and anatomic distribution of LF in an Italian group of patients subjected to CBCT without reporting any association with gender and mandible width.
