The Relationship

The current study assessed the relationship between national religious affiliation and lethal violence by simultaneously examining homicide and suicide rates. The information on homicide and suicide rates for 124 countries came from the World Health Organization (WHO). Regression results suggested no significant difference in lethal violence between predominantly Catholic and Protestant countries, although Islamic countries revealed significantly lower homicide, suicide, and overall lethal violence rates than non-Islamic countries. Countries with a high level of religious heterogeneity are subject to an increased suicide rate. The implications of these findings were discussed.

Pulmonary tuberculosis is an infectious disease that attacks the lungs which is typically characterized by the formation of granulomas causing tissue neocrosis. Pulmonary tuberculosis is caused by "mycrobacterium tuberculosis" a type of rod-shaped germ with a length of 1-4 / mm and a thickness of 0.3 -0.6 / mm. The World Health Organization (WHO) in 2007 stated that the number of tuberculosis sufferers in Indonesia was around 528 thousand or in third place in the world after India and China. The WHO report in 2009 recorded Indonesia's ranking according to fifth position with the number of tuberculosis sufferers of 429 thousand people, namely India, China, South Africa, Nigeria, and Indonesia (source WHO Global Tuberculosis Control 2010). This study aims to describe the knowledge of pulmonary tuberculosis patients about anti-tuberculosis drug withdrawal at RSU IPI Medan who is experiencing pulmonary tuberculosis. The sampling technique used in this research is Probability Sampling with the Random Sampling technique. Then the number of samples is 40 respondents. researchers used primary data. With the results of the study, it is hoped that respondents will increase their knowledge by finding out and caring about the health of others in order to prevent the transmission of pulmonary tuberculosis and change bad behavior for the better, with the participation and cooperation of medical personnel and other health teams in provide precise and accurate information.

Around the end of December 2019, a new beta-coronavirus from Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China began to spread rapidly. The new virus, called SARS-CoV-2, which could be transmitted through respiratory droplets, had a range of mild to severe symptoms, from simple cold in some cases to death in others. The disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 was named COVID-19 by WHO and has so far killed more people than SARS and MERS. Following the widespread global outbreak of COVID-19, with more than 132758 confirmed cases and 4955 deaths worldwide, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic disease in January 2020. Earlier studies on viral pneumonia epidemics has shown that pregnant women are at greater risk than others. During pregnancy, the pregnant woman is more prone to infectious diseases. Research on both SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, which are pathologically similar to SARS-CoV-2, has shown that being infected with these viruses during pregnancy increases the risk of maternal death, stillbirth, intrauterine growth retardation and, preterm delivery. With the exponential increase in cases of COVID-19 throughout the world, there is a need to understand the effects of SARS-CoV-2 on the health of pregnant women, through extrapolation of earlier studies that have been conducted on pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV, and MERS-CoV. There is an urgent need to understand the chance of vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from mother to fetus and the possibility of the virus crossing the placental barrier. Additionally, since some viral diseases and antiviral drugs may have a negative impact on the mother and fetus, in which case, pregnant women need special attention for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of COVID-19.
