Very little research has been done on the anxiety of the families of patients with covid-19. Considering the vital role of the family in the continuation of supportive-psychological therapies and the direct impact on the patient's anxiety level, in this study, we examined the anxiety level of the family of patients with Covid-19 and compared their with their patient's anxiety level. In this comparative study, the samples were 60 people who were given a definitive diagnosis of covid-19 in selected hospitals (Masih Daneshvari Hospital and Besat Hospital). From the family members, the person who, according to the patient, is most affected and has an emotional relationship with him (spouse-father-mother-child) was selected. The standard Spielberger Anxiety Questionnaire has been used to measure apparent (state) and hidden (trait) anxiety. The questionnaire was completed by both groups (patient-family) and compared with each other. The mean of evident anxiety in patients and caregivers was 70.82 and 74.2, respectively, which this difference was statistically significant (P = 0.023). It is also observed that the mean of hidden anxiety in patients and caregivers was 68.83 and 74.71, respectively, which the mean of hidden anxiety in patients was significantly less than caregivers (P = 0.006). After identifying anxiety, nurses can better and more effectively deal with these unwanted conditions in the patient and her family by providing appropriate and correct education.

Plants are an important source of natural products and they play a vital role in the field of medicinal chemistry and pharmaceutical science. Traditional medicines have been practiced and used for thousands of years, mostly in Asian countries, where plants are the main sources of medicine. Houttuynia cordata, a herb that belongs to the family Saururaceae, has a wide range of pharmacological activities and is used traditionally in conditions like anisolobis sores, heatstroke, lung carbuncles, malaria, scrotal abscess, tonsillitis, salammoniac poison and has also been widely accepted to possess anti-cancer, anti-oxidant, anti-hypertension, anti-inflammatory, anti-mutagenic, antibacterial, anti-viral and anti-purulent activity. Moreover, it is one of the herbs that was recognized during pandemic outbreaks, such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS CoV) in China, virulent Newcastle Disease Virus (VNDV) in Java (Indonesia) and Newcastle (England). In this review, we briefly discuss the role of H. cordata as an anti-viral agent and the possibility of developing a dosage form against Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19).

The Impact

Entrepreneurship is the engine for social and economic growth of any society. It drives people toward wealth and job creation, which leads to better lives for people in the society. There has been growing interest in entrepreneurship research recently. This paper attempted to assess the impact of family in Nepalese society. This was viewed as essential in a country in which more than 125 ethnic communities are found. The findings show that family has some impact in people to become entrepreneurship but it was not strongly substantiated by statistical tests. It was found that entrepreneur’s parental profession plays some role in entrepreneurship development in Nepal which was similar to some findings that parental profession plays vital role in the choice of profession in children.Journal of Nepalese Bussiness Studies Vol. 9, No. 1, 2015 pp. 37-47

Alzheimer\'s disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder and the most common form of dementia worldwide. Although the great progress on the prevention and treatment of AD, no effective therapies are available as yet. With the increasing incidence of AD, it has brought a growing burden to the family and society. Histopathologically, AD is characterized by the presence of myloid β (Aβ) plaques composed of Aβ and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) composed of hyperphosphorylated tau proteins, which lead to neuronal loss. However, the full spectrum of precise molecular mechanism that contribute to AD pathogenesis remains largely unknown. circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a novel class of endogenous non-coding RNAs that play a vital role in post-transcriptional regulation. Recent reports showed circRNAs to be an important player in the development of neurodegenerative diseases like AD. In this chapter, we review recent progress on understanding the role of circRNAs in AD, and many studies implicating specific circRNAs in the development of the disease. Moreover, we explore the potential promise of these findings for future diagnosis and treatment.

Role Of Women

Radicalism is a process initiated from the ideas and teachings that stem from individual stages. Hence, the early detection effort in deradicalization by involving women can run effectively, regarding the fact that women play a vital role in the family, particularly in shaping the character of children. Unfortunately, the role of women in preventing, or actually in promoting and participating, terrorism and political violence seems to be neglected. This qualitative study attempts to examine the role of women in preventing radicalization and at the same time promoting and participat-ing to alleviate terrorism and political violence. The findings of the study reveal that the role of women in the deradicali-zation can be done in a number of strategies, although not restricted, such as reduction of gender inequality and disparity, giving women a greater role to participate in a multi-field of social realm, strengthening the well-being to prevent radicalization, making women as leaders who hold moderate and tolerant values in education, especially within, though not limited, the family environment, and initiating peace through women’s reproductive functions.

Monitoring the development of early childhood is a family task, but not all families can carry out this task optimally. Busyness, lack of knowledge, and the socio-economic condition of the family are factors that do not support this effort. Therefore, monitoring children's growth is coordinated through the role of the community through the Posyandu program. Posyandu, as one of the community-based health efforts, has a vital role in providing convenience to the community in obtaining essential services. To achieve this goal requires the role of a Posyandu cadre who has the knowledge and skills in monitoring child growth and development. The method of activity is carried out by providing material for child development and practicum on how to assess and measure children's growth and development. The results of activities were measured through differences in the results of the pre-test and post-test, as well as the results of observations when cadres provided services during Posyandu implementation. The results of the activity showed that the training in monitoring the growth and development of children under five given to Posyandu cadres could increase the knowledge and skills of cadres in providing services at Posyandu related to monitoring the growth and development of children under five.

Aim: The most valuable approach to prevent the spread of the novel COVID-19, which is a pandemic today, is to detect, isolate, and treat patients. The majority of patients are mild or asymptomatic cases. These cases are followed up and isolated at home in many countries. With a governmental decision issued in Turkey, it has been deemed appropriate to follow up the suspected, contact or definitive diagnosis patients who do not indicate inpatient treatment, have a mild clinical course, or do not have a risk factor that may lead to a severe course of COVID-19, at home by the family practice units. In this study, we aimed to investigate the characteristics of the patients with COVID-19 who were being monitored at home. Methods: The study was designed as a retrospective cross-sectional observational study. In this study, 321 people who were registered at the Education and Family Health Centers of our hospital and followed up as COVID-19 suspects, contacts, or definitive cases were identified. Home follow-up data of these patients between April 1-30 were obtained retrospectively from the records of family health centers. Data, such as the presence and course of symptoms of people followed at home, their isolation status, medicine usage status, and test results were recorded electronically for further analysis. Results: In this study, 321 patients, 163 (50.28%) males, and 158 (49.22%) females were included. Among 321 patients, 287 (89.41%) were contact patients, 54 (16.82%) were suspected patients, and 28 (8.72%) had a definitive diagnosis. The mean age of the patients was 40.00±20.68. Among the patients included in this study, 27 (8.41%) were hospitalized, symptoms worsened in 8 (2.49%), 5 (1.56%) were re-applied to the hospital, 5 (1.56%) were re-hospitalized, and 28 people (8.72%) were administered medication. Conclusion: The mean age of patients who complied with the measures of isolation was higher than patients who did not. The mean age of hospitalized patients was higher than in non-hospitalized patients. The frequency of observed symptoms was consistent with the previous studies in the literature.

AbstractParents have a vital role for growth and development of a teenager. Parents as the first actor to be an example for a teenager, so it must equip children with knowledge of the personality and the science of religion that later children can socialize in the community. Juvenile delinquency is happening is not the fault of the parents themselves, but also lies in the surrounding environment that can affect the behavior of adolescent youth. The role of parents and the environment is important for teens to form personal the better. In dealing with teenagers there are some things you should always keep in mind, namely that the soul is a soul-filled adolescent turmoil. Internal and external conditions are equally turbulent adolescence that causes more prone than other stages of mental development of adolescents. To reduce collisions between turbulence and to provide opportunities for youth to develop themselves in a more optimal, need to be created nearby environmental conditions as stable as possible, especially the family environment.Key Words: Adolescents, Personal, Moral HonorAbstrakOrang tua memiliki peran yang sangat penting terhadap tumbuh kembang seorang remaja. Orang tua sebagai aktor pertama yang menjadi contoh bagi seorang remaja, sehingga harus membekali anak dengan ilmu kepribadian dan ilmu agama supaya kelak anak dapat bersosialisasi dimasyarakat. Kenakalan remaja yang terjadi bukanlah kesalahan dari orang tua sendiri, melainkan juga terletak pada lingkungan disekitar remaja yang dapat mempengaruhi perilaku remaja. Peran orang tua dan lingkungan sekitar sangatlah penting untuk membentuk pribadi remaja agar menjadi lebih baik. Dalam menghadapi remaja ada beberapa hal yang harus selalu diingat, yaitu bahwa jiwa remaja adalah jiwa yang penuh gejolak. Kondisi intern dan ekstern yang sama-sama bergejolak inilah yang menyebabkan masa remaja lebih rawan daripada tahap-tahap lain perkembangan jiwa remaja. Untuk mengurangi benturan antargejolak itu dan untuk memberi kesempatan agar remaja dapat mengembangkan dirinya secara lebih optimal, perlu diciptakan kondisi lingkungan terdekat yang sestabil mungkin, khususnya lingkungan keluarga.Kata Kunci: Remaja, Pribadi, Akhlak Mulia

Perceived control in the settings that a person inhabits is both an underpinning and an outcome of positive human development. This is no less true for the civic or sociopolitical domain than for the family, school, or workplace. It should come as no surprise, then, that perceived control in the sociopolitical domain—an important indicator of psychological empowerment—has been found to be related to other positive developmental outcomes. Yet, for psychological empowerment to be understood in a way that links it inextricably with organizational and community-level empowerment processes, it is not sufficient to focus only on perceived control. Critical awareness of the source, nature, and instruments of power, for example, must be taken into account. This chapter delves into theory and research on the psychological aspects of empowerment and their interplay with other human developmental and educational processes. Although particular attention is paid to the role of empowerment in youth development, psychological empowerment continues to play a vital role in development and education during adulthood.
