Phonological System

This research is a cross-sectional sample survey with a qualitative approach of Malay Jambi’s phonology in Sarolangun Regency. The data was collected in the field using observation and interview methods. It has a form of notes, interview transcriptions, and audio and video recordings. The data was analyzed using a phonetic articulator matching method with a diving-key-factors technique as a basis. The results are presented based on the phonetic symbols of the IPA Chart (revised 2005). As found in the research, Malay Jambi of Sarolangun has six vowels and twenty consonants, one of which does not occur in native Malay Jambi words. Beyond the phonological system description, this paper discusses various features found in Sarolangun like nasalization and laxing of vowels, consonant and syllable deletion, or glide insertion.

Factors Influencing

Factors reported in the literature associated with inappropriate prescribing of antimicrobials include physicians with less experience, uncertain diagnosis, and patient caregiver influences on physicians’ decisions. Monitoring antimicrobial resistance is critical for identifying emerging resistance patterns, developing, and assessing the effectiveness of mitigation strategies. Improvement in prescribing antimicrobials would minimize the risk of resistance and, consequently, improve patients’ clinical and health outcomes. The purpose of the study is to delineate factors associated with antimicrobial resistance, describe the factors influencing prescriber’s choice during prescribing of antimicrobial, and examine factors related to consequences of inappropriate prescribing of antimicrobial. A cross-sectional study was conducted among healthcare providers (190) in six tertiary hospitals in the Eastern province of Saudi Arabia. The research panel has developed, validated, and piloted survey specific with closed-ended questions. A value of p < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. All data analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (IBM SPSS version 23.0). 72.7% of the respondents have agreed that poor skills and knowledge are key factors that contribute to the inappropriate prescribing of antimicrobials. All of the respondents acknowledged effectiveness, previous experience with the antimicrobial, and reading scientific materials (such as books, articles, and the internet) as being key factors influencing physicians’ choice during antimicrobial prescribing. The current study has identified comprehensive education and training needs for healthcare providers about antimicrobial resistance. Using antimicrobials unnecessarily, insufficient duration of antimicrobial use, and using broad spectrum antimicrobials were reported to be common practices. Furthermore, poor skills and knowledge were a key factor that contributed to the inappropriate use and overuse of antimicrobials, and the use of antimicrobials without a physician’s prescription (i.e., self-medication) represent key factors which contribute to AMR from participants’ perspectives. Furthermore, internal policy and guidelines are needed to ensure that the antimicrobials are prescribed in accordance with standard protocols and clinical guidelines.

Concerns related to the first outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Norwegian population are studied in a cross-sectional web-survey conducted between 8 April and 20 May 2020. The qualitative thematic analysis of the open-ended question “Do you have other concerns related to the pandemic?”, followed a six-step process. Concerns from 1491 informants were analyzed, 34% of women and 30% of men (p = 0.05) provided concerns. Respondents with higher educational level reported concerns more often (86% vs. 83%, p = 0.022). The qualitative analysis revealed five themes—society, health, social activities, personal economy and duration—and 13 sub-themes, mostly related to the themes “society” and “health” (724 and 704, respectively). Empathy for others was prominent, for society (nationally and globally), but also concerns related to infecting others and family members at risk for developing serious illness if infected. The responses to the open-ended question yielded additional information, beyond the information obtained from questions with pre-categorized response options, especially related to concerns about society and health. Themes arising from the qualitative analysis shed light on what are important concerns for people during the pandemic and this may serve as targeted measures for the authorities.

Low Shear

Velocity profiles of human blood flowing through vertical and horizontal glass tubes (25–100 microns ID) were measured as a function of time following a sudden reduction of wall shear stress (tau w) from a high value to values ranging from 2 to 100 mPa. Cell velocities at various radial positions were determined off-line from video recordings by digital image analysis. In vertical tubes, symmetric velocity profiles were obtained that developed increasing bluntness with time, particularly at lower tau w and in smaller tubes. In horizontal tubes, velocity profiles developed strong asymmetry as a function of time. Red blood cell (RBC) sedimentation was associated with uniform low flow velocities in the concentrating cell sediment, whereas faster flow and almost parabolic profiles were observed in the supernatant plasma region. Calculations of effective blood viscosity showed a decrease with time at low tau w in vertical tubes but an increase in horizontal tubes. The differences between profile shape and effective viscosity in vertical and horizontal tubes disappeared at tau w > 50 mPa. These findings are related to the cross-sectional distribution of RBC, which depends on RBC aggregation and sedimentation.

Psychosocial variables are key factors influencing the delicate equilibrium of chronic patients during crisis time. In this study, we explored distress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, coping strategies, and changes in life habits in 43 beta-thalassemia patients and 86 controls during Covid-19 pandemic. Patients showed higher anxiety levels and a predominant transcendent coping profile compared to controls. Patients significantly differed from controls in outdoor habits. Social isolation and habits changes in uncertain life-threaten situations as Covid-19 pandemic are particularly detrimental in fragile beta-thalassemia patients. Structured support interventions are needed to promote well-being in the Covid-19 era.

The number of people with rheumatism worldwide has reached 355 million, and this is estimated by 2025, suggesting that more than 25% will experience paralysis. This study aims to determine obesity and other factors related to the increased risk of rheumatic diseases in Indonesia, the method used was data analysis using a complex sample survey. It used 2014 IFLS data and a cross sectional study design, as well as a multistage random sampling with a total of 29,106 respondents, and the results showed that the prevalence of rheumatic disease in Indonesia was 5.2% in 2014. The most dominant and unmodifiable variable that influenced incidence was gender (PR=1.686; 95% CI=1.488-1.910). Meanwhile, obesity is the most dominant and modifying variable that influences the incidence of rheumatic disease (PR=1.630; 95% CI=1.433-1.855). Factors that are simultaneously related to the increased risk of rheumatic diseases include age, gender, education, physical activity, protein consumption, obesity, and accident history. Considering the results, patients need to eat healthy and low purine foods, as well as implementing other healthy lifestyles such as appropriate, adequate, and regular physical activities in order to reduce the risk of rheumatism.

Abstract Background: Ghana for years has implemented the Community-based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) among children in order to reduce malnutrition prevalence. However, the prevalence of malnutrition remains high. This study aimed to determine CMAM coverage levels in the Ahafo Ano South (AAS), a rural district, and Kumasi Subin sub-metropolis (KSSM), an urban district. Methods: The study was a cross-sectional comparative study with a mixed-methods approach. In all, 497 mother/caregiver and child under-five pairs were surveyed using a quantitative approach while qualitative methods were used to study 25 service providers and 40 mother/ caregivers who did not participate in the quantitative survey. Four types of coverage indicators were assessed: point coverage (defined as the number of Severe Acute Malnutrition cases [SAM] in treatment divided by total number of Severe Acute Malnutrition cases in the study district), geographical coverage (defined as total number of health facilities delivering treatment for SAM divided by total number of healthcare facilities in the study district), and treatment coverage (defined as children with SAM receiving therapeutic care divided by total number of SAM children in the study district) and program coverage (defined as number of SAM cases in the CMAM programme ÷ Number of SAM cases that should be in the programme). The qualitative approach was used to support the assessment of the coverage indicators. Data were analyzed using STATA version 14, and Atlas.ti, version 7.5 for the quantitative and qualitative data respectivelyResults: Geographically, only 6% of the facilities in the urban communities were participating in the CMAM programme as against 29% of rural district facilities. The districts had point coverage of 41% and 10% for the urban and rural districts respectively. The urban setting recorded a SAM prevalence of 52% as against 36% in the rural setting. The proportion of SAM children enrolled in CMAM was higher in KSSM when compared with AAS; 41% and 33% respectively. In both districts, the most likely factors to attract mothers/caregivers to utilize the CMAM services were: ‘free services’ and ‘a cured child.’ The qualitative approach showed that coverage improvement in both districts is hampered by barriers such: distance, transportation cost, lack of trained personnel in the communities for community mobilization and home visits, and insufficient feeds. Conclusion: To improve CMAM coverage, there is the need to train health workers to embark on aggressive health education strategies to encourage mothers/caregivers of malnourished children to utilize CMAM while ensuring that services reach those who need them.

Tangon (cerita rakyat) sering diperdengarkan dalam masyarakat suku Kimaragang. Pada umumnya, cerita-cerita rakyat (tangon) suku Kimaragang melambangkan sosiobudaya, falsafah dan gambaran nilai kepahlawanan bagi masyarakat tersebut. Namun, dewasa ini, nilai-nilai yang terkandung dalam tangon sering dilupakan, terutama oleh generasi muda. Oleh itu, kajian ini memberi perhatian pada nilai-nilai kepahlawanan yang terkandung dalam cerita rakyat suku Kimaragang di Sabah. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif yang melibatkan kaedah kajian lapangan dan temu bual untuk mendokumentasi tangon. Seterusnya, data akan dianalisis menggunakan pendekatan Alamiah salah satu pendekatan dalam teori Pengkaedahan Melayu yang dikemukakan oleh Hashim Awang bagi memahami aspek-aspek kepahlawanan seperti keberanian, rela berkorban, semangat juang dan keterbukaan yang terkandung dalam cerita rakyat. Dapatan kajian ini membuktikan bahawa elemen kepahlawanan penting dikuasai, terutama dalam norma masyarakat yang kucar-kacir demi mengangkat martabat diri dan menjaga kehormatan. Sememangnya, masyarakat suku Kimaragang pada masa lampau mengamalkan nilai-nilai kepahlawanan dalam kehidupan untuk memastikan sebuah kehidupan yang aman dan sejahtera. Mengaplikasi nilai-nilai kepahlawanan dalam kehidupan masa kini merupakan suatu daripada usaha untuk mengupaya dan mengekalkan warisan yang semakin dilupakan. The telling of ‘tangon’ (folklore) is a common practice in the Kimaragang community. In general, the ‘tangon’ of the Kimaragang symbolises the socio-culture, philosophy and description of the heroism values for the community. However, nowadays, the values in ‘tangon’ are often forgotten, especially by the younger generation. This study thereforefocused on the heroism values as portrayed in the folklore of the Kimaragang. Using a qualitative approach, the field work and interview methods were utilised to document the ‘tangon’. Data was analysed using the Alamiahapproach, one of the approaches in the ’Pengkaedahan Melayu’ theory by Hashim Awang as a means to understand heroism aspects such as bravery, sacrificial spirit, fighting spirit, and openness as embodied in the folklore. The findings of this study prove that the element of heroism is important to master especially in the norms of a chaotic society in order to improve self-esteem and maintain honour. Indeed, the Kimaragang in the past practised heroism values to ensure a peaceful and prosperous life. Applying these values in life today is one of the efforts to activate and sustain an increasingly forgotten heritage.
