Thermal Pasteurization

Low-temperature, long-time (LTLT) pasteurization assures the safety of banked human milk; however, heat can destroy important nutritional biomolecules. High-pressure processing (HPP) shows promise as an alternative for pasteurization of breast milk. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of HPP for inactivation of selected bacterial pathogens in human milk. Human milk was inoculated with one of five pathogens (108 to 109 CFU/ml), while 0.1% peptone solution solutions with the same levels of each organism were used as controls. The samples were subjected to 400 MPa at 21 to 31°C for 0 to 50 min or to 62.5°C for 0 to 30 min (capillary tube method) to simulate LTLT pasteurization. Tryptic soy agar and selective media were used for enumeration. Traditional thermal pasteurization resulted in inactivation (>7 log) of all pathogens within 10 min. In human milk and in peptone solution, a 6-log reduction was achieved after 30 min of HPP for Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538. After 30 min, S. aureus ATCC 25923 was reduced by 8 log and 6 log in human milk and peptone solution, respectively. Treatments of 4 and 7 min resulted in an 8-log inactivation of Streptococcus agalactiae ATCC 12927 in human milk and peptone solution, respectively, while Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19115 required 2 min for an 8-log inactivation in human milk. Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 was inactivated by 8 log after 10 min in peptone solution and by 6 log after 30 min in human milk. These data suggest that HPP may be a promising alternative for pasteurization of human milk. Further research should evaluate the efficacy of HPP in the inactivation of relevant viral pathogens.

Background: Khat (Catha edulis) is a traditionally used substance in African and Arab countries that contains the amphetamine-like alkaloid cathinone. Khat use among Ethiopian students is a growing concern. This study aims to describe khat use, psychological problems, and motivation to change and to determine associated factors of khat use among students from Jimma University seeking psychological assistance.Methods: In a cross-sectional study, a sample of 717 students from Jimma University, southwestern Ethiopia, who seek assistance to reduce khat use were recruited. The study used Amharic and Afaan Oromoo language versions of common psychological instruments and employed them as part of a comprehensive tablet computer-delivered self-report assessment battery, comprising the SRQ-20, the PCL-5, the LEC-5, the AUDIT, and the SOCRATES-khat. In addition, socio-demographic, economic variables, and functioning problems due to severe mental disorders were assessed. The analysis relied on the data of the 575 included participants and used clinical cut-off values to describe this treatment-seeking sample and hierarchical regression models to determine variables associated with khat use.Results: The sample showed high khat use in the past month (M = 31.55 bundles, SD = 28.53, on M = 15.11 days, SD = 8.54); 17.0% showed highly problematic use. The sample was extremely burdened with comorbid psychiatric problems: 21.6% reported functioning problems due to past mental disorders, 60.2% scored above the cut-off for current common mental disorders, 37.9% screened positive for PTSD, and 47.1% reported hazardous alcohol use. Small to medium intercorrelations between variables were detected, and in hierarchical regression models, higher motivation to change khat use was associated with higher use of the substance.Conclusions: This study clearly shows the need to develop research instruments, screening methods, and assistance services for khat-using students at Jimma University. Study participants' high mental health burden shows the need for targeted intervention programs that go beyond brief interventions for khat use. Furthermore, the study highlights challenges for implementing such services: the barriers to utilization for females and khat users without comorbid mental health problems.

Environment Factor

Millenials are this generation’s young adults who are very vulnerable to an anxiety and depression, which if this disorder no immediately treated, it would impact to psychiatric disorders (schizophrenia and even suicide). However, many mild – depressed people doesn’t want to seek treatment immediately because lack of knowledge about depression so there’s negative stigma. There are many assumptions where depression is considered “crazy” so which then that patients don’t seek any help, close themselves, and deny. In fact, a few mental hospital in Indonesia doesn’t even meet the proper standards to be called a recovery center. But, seeing from the side of psychology, environment factor has a huge role in recovery process. Therefore, there is a need for a vessel of support for those people who need help on mental health and realizing a comfortable environment for those who are recovering. And improving the perspective of people on the negative stigma about mental disorder and supporting the realization of a strong, comfortable social relation between people and depression sufferers. By using healing environment method, Sanctuary for Depression aims to respond toward all problems which patients acquire a various of health facilities which are needed accordingly and a broader knowledge about  depression, so that the negative stigma which has been planted for a long time could be corrected. Abstrak Milenial merupakan generasi yang sangat rentan terkena gangguan kecemasan dan depresi dimana bila tidak segera ditangani akan berdampak serius (skizofrenia hingga bunuh diri). Tetapi, banyak penderita depresi ringan atau sedang yang tidak mau langsung berobat dikarenakan kurangnya pemahaman terhadap depresi sehingga munculnya stigma negatif. Banyaknya asumsi dimana depresi dianggap “gila” sehingga penderita tidak mencari pertolongan, menutup diri, dan menyangkal. Bersamaan dengan itu juga, kurangnya fasilitas dan perhatian serius terhadap masalah  kesehatan mental (depresi) yang ada di Indonesia. Beberapa rumah sakit jiwa di Indonesia bahkan tidak layak untuk digunakan sebagai tempat pemulihan. Sedangkan dilihat dari sisi psikologis, faktor lingkungan memiliki peran besar dalam proses penyembuhan. Maka dari itu, dibutuhkannya wadah yang memberikan support kepada masyarakat akan kesehatan mentalnya dan mewujudkan lingkungan yang nyaman untuk penderita gangguan mental dalam berobat. Serta meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat dan memperbaiki stigma terhadap gangguan mental sehingga mendukung terjadinya ikatan sosial yang kuat dan nyaman antara masyarakat dan penderita depresi. Dengan menggunakan metode healing environment, maka Pusat Rehabilitasi Kaum Depresi bertujuan untuk menyikapi semua masalah tersebut dimana pasien mendapatkan berbagai fasilitas kesehatan yang sesuai dibutuhkan dan pengenalan lebih luas mengenai depresi kepada masyarakat sehingga memperbaiki stigma yang sudah tertanam sejak lama.

Mental Health Costs

<p>We write collaboratively, as a recent graduate and long-time faculty member of a small women&rsquo;s liberal arts college, about the mental health costs of adhering to a feminist narrative of achievement that insists upon independence and resiliency.&nbsp; As we explore the destabilizing potential of an alternative feminist project, one that invites different temporalities in which dis/ability emerges and may be addressed, we work with disability less as an identity than as a generative methodology, a form of relation and exchange. Mapping our own college as a specific, local site for the disabling tradition of &ldquo;challenging women,&rdquo; we move to larger disciplinary and undisciplining questions about the stigma of mental disabilities, traversing the tensions between institutionalizing disability studies and the field&rsquo;s promise of destabilizing the constrictions of normativity.</p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong>academia,<strong> </strong>dis/ability, disability studies, education, feminism, identity studies, mad pride, mad studies, mental health, mental illness, queer studies, temporality, women&rsquo;s colleges</p><p><em><br /></em></p>
