AbstractThis article presents an ethnography of a contemporary residential madrasa for teenage Muslim girls in a North Indian town undertaken by a team of two researchers. We focused on different aspects of the overall study, with Sanyal conducting participant observation within the madrasa and Farah interviewing a select number of graduates and former students in their home environments. The result is a comprehensive picture of the madrasa's transformative role in the socio-religious lives of its students, which highlights the importance of the connections between the madrasa and the home.Of significance are the religious and denominational orientation of the madrasa—Barelwi Sunni Muslim—as well as the working-class status of the girls and their parents’ low level of education. With limited resources, the madrasa inculcates in the students, and by extension their neighbourhoods and wider communities, a new awareness of religious duties and mutual obligations, and gives its students confidence and a voice within both their families and communities. The long-term potential impact of madrasas such as this one appears to be significant in contemporary North India.

Health differences in social mobility are often analysed by income differences or different occupational positions. However, in early adulthood many young people still have very diffuse income situations and are not always fully integrated into the labour market despite many having finished school. This article focusses on the link between intergenerational educational pathways and self-rated health (SRH) among young adults considering their SRH in adolescence. The data source used is the German KiGGS cohort study. The analysis sample comprises 2175 young people at baseline (t0: 2003–2006 age 14–17) and first follow-up (t1: 2009–2012 age 19–24). Combining parent’s and young people’s highest school degree, the data can trace patterns of intergenerational educational pathways (constant high level of education, upward mobility, downward mobility, constant low level of education). Young people’s SRH was recorded at t0 and t1. During adolescence and young adulthood, participants were less likely to report poor SRH if they had a constant high intergenerational education or if they were upwardly mobile. The differences were particularly striking among young adults: average marginal effects (AME) for poor SRH showed much higher risk among downwardly mobile compared to peers with an intergenerational constant high education (AME: 0.175 [0.099; 0.251]), while the upwardly mobile had a significantly lower risk for less than good SRH than peers with an intergenerational constant low level of education (AME: −0.058 [−0.113; −0.004]). In the context of great societal demands and personal developmental needs, educational differences in health tend to increase in young adulthood. Public Health should pay more attention to educational and health inequalities in young adulthood.

Long Term Prognosis

The clinical description of adjustment disorder (AD) in children and young people is the same as in adults. However, the stressors or triggers to AD in childhood and adolescence may differ from those in adult life. Up to 30% of those presenting to acute psychiatric services for adolescents can be considered to have an AD. The diagnosis of AD is associated with an increased risk of suicide and of suicidal ideation in young people. While most young people recover from AD, the long-term prognosis of AD is different in young people than in adults—young people with AD have a higher risk of developing ongoing psychiatric illness than adults with AD.

Background and Objectives: Reduction of health inequalities is a highly important task in public health policies worldwide. In Lithuania, inequalities in life expectancy (LE) by education level are among the greatest, compared to other European countries. However, studies on inequalities in LE by level of education over a long-term period are quite scarce in Lithuania. The aim of the study was to analyze inequalities in life expectancy by education and its changes in Lithuania during 2001–2014. Materials and Methods: Information on deaths (in population aged ≥30 years) was obtained from Statistics Lithuania. Life expectancy at age 30 (LE30) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using life tables. Inequalities in LE30 were assessed using rate differences. Joinpoint regression analysis was used to assess the trends and inequalities of LE30 during 2001–2014. Results: During 2001–2014, LE30 in males and females with post-secondary education was higher than in those with up-to-secondary education (p < 0.05). Among males and females, LE30 increased in both education groups, except for males with up-to-secondary education. Among individuals with post-secondary education, LE30 started increasing earlier and more quickly than in those with up-to-secondary education. Over the analyzed period, greater differences in LE30 between post-secondary and up-to-secondary education groups were found among males. Differences in LE30 due to different educational background were statistically significantly, increasing across the sexes with a more rapid increase for females than for males. During 2001 and 2014, the highest number of years of LE30 lost in both education groups was due to cardiovascular diseases. Conclusions: Throughout the period of 2001–2014, life expectancy in Lithuania in the post-secondary education group was statistically significantly longer and was increasing more rapidly compared to the up-to secondary education group. Inequalities in life expectancy by level of education significantly increased among both males and females.

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a common chronic disease in children and young people. Living with diabetes can pose many challenges both medical and psychological. Disordered eating behaviours, intentional insulin omission and recognised eating disorders are common among young people with diabetes and are associated with increased risk of short-term and long-term complications and death. Recognition of these behaviours is important to ensure that relevant support is provided. Joint working between diabetes and mental health teams has challenges but is essential to ensure all needs are met during treatment and recovery.

BACKGROUND Adoption and evaluation of ICT-based contact tracing tools may expand the reach and efficacy of traditional contact tracing methods in fighting COVID-19. The Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sports (HWS) initiated and developed a COVID-19 contact tracing app: CoronaMelder. This app is based on Google/Apple exposure notification approach and aims to combat the spread of the COVID-19 virus among citizens, by notifying citizens who were at increased risk of infection because they were close by someone who was later tested positive for COVID-19. The app should support the traditional contact tracing by quicker tracing and reaching more people than regular contact tracing procedures. OBJECTIVE The main goal of this study is to investigate whether the CoronaMelder is able to support traditional contact tracing of Public Health Authorities (PHAs). To achieve this, usability tests were conducted aimed at answering the following question: Is the CoronaMelder user-friendly, understandable, reliable and credible, and inclusive? METHODS Participants (n=44) with different backgrounds were recruited: young people with a lower or higher level of education, young people with an intellectual disability, migrants, adults (40-64 years) and elderly (65> years) via convenience sampling in the CoronaMelder test region Twente, The Netherlands. The app was evaluated with scenario-based think-aloud usability tests with additional interviews. Findings were recorded via voice recordings, observation notes, the Dutch User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ-Dutch) and some participants wore eye trackers to measure gaze behavior. RESULTS Our results show that the app is easy to use. Yet, problems occurred with understandability and accessibility. Elderly and young people with a lower level of education do not understand why or when they receive notifications, or why they must share the key, and what happens after sharing. Especially young people with a lower level of education did not trust and understand the Bluetooth signals, timing and follow-up activities after risk exposure notification and elderly had difficulties in multitasking (contact with PHAs simultaneously with sharing key in app). PHAs appeared unprepared to be supported by the app in traditional contact tracing, because their telephone conversation protocol lacks guidance, explanation, and empathy. CONCLUSIONS The study indicated that the app is easy to use, but participants have misconceptions about its functioning. The perceived lack of clarity led to misconceptions of the app, mostly regarding its usefulness or privacy-preserving mechanisms. Tailored and target group specified communication, in forms of public campaigns or social media, is necessary to provide correct information about the app to Dutch citizens. Additionally, the app should be presented as part of the package of national corona measures, instead of just as a stand-alone app provided to the public. To succeed, PHA workers should be trained to effectively and empathically instruct users to warn others by using the CoronaMelder app.

The article is devoted to the consideration of youth and youth policy as factors of terrorism in the 21st century. The authors have identified factors that increase the effectiveness of recruiters of terrorist organizations in attracting young people, as well as formulated and justified the principles of improving the effectiveness of youth policy in the framework of anti-terrorist activities of the authorities. According to the authors, an important factor in the radicalization of young people is the low level of education in the country. The authors draw attention to the fact that the low level of education does not create opportunities for the development of young people. This, in turn, leads to a radicalization of the relationship between the authorities and students. If graduates are unable to find jobs that meet their expectations, then the risk of radicalization of young people increases. A good education not only allows the state to train qualified specialists, which effectively affects the social and economic development of society. Specialists in demand do not belong to social groups prone to violent and radical actions in relation to other citizens, both within the country and abroad. Therefore, it is necessary, on the one hand, to develop educational programs that allow college and university graduates to be in demand in the labor market, constantly improve their skills, and increase the level of knowledge. On the other hand, it is necessary to develop students' skills, such as critical thinking, creativity, respect for the institutions of society, and skills in solving social and professional problems.
