Hence, Hospitalization may cause anxiety and stressful experience for both the child and the parent. One of the methods to reduce anxiety is playing clay. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of clay therapy in reducing anxiety among hospitalized children. This study is a literature review by finding research articles on Google Scholar. Three papers with 89 total respondents were analyzed in this study. The result showed that before the clay play therapy, the level of anxiety encompassed: no anxiety 1 (1.1%), mild anxiety 15 (16.85%), moderate anxiety 15 (16.85%), severe anxiety 26 (29.2%), and panic 32 (36%).

Schizophrenic Patients

Hallucinations are a symptom of mental disorders during which the patient can experience changes in, or receive false messages from, sensory perceptions. Nursing approaches for patients suffering hallucinations are focused on physical, intellectual, emotional and socio-spiritual aspects. One of the therapeutic modalities in the management of schizophrenic patients with hallucinations is occupational therapy, such as drawing activities. The drawing activity aims to minimize the patient’s interaction with their own world; release thoughts, feelings, or emotions that have been affecting the behavior; provide motivation and entertainment; and distract the patient from the hallucinations experienced. The purpose of this study was to summarize the results of studies which explain that occupational drawing therapy can control hallucinations in schizophrenic patients. The research method used is literature review from the search results conducted through Google Scholar. 29 articles were obtained with a combination of the key words including ‘Occupational Therapy’, ‘Drawing’ and ‘Hallucination’ Then the researchers conducted a screening by focusing according to the topic of discussion, so that only 3 articles were obtained that met all the search criteria. The results showed that occupational therapy was effective in controlling hallucinations in schizophrenic patients. It is expected to be a reference in the provision of therapeutic modalities and further research development.   Keywords: Schizofrenia, Hallucinations, Occupational Drawing Therapy

This stress not only reduce body's immunity but also effect to a person's health condition. This objective of the study is to determine the stress in nursing students during the Covid-19 pandemic. This research method uses Literature Review. Research articles from several databases, namely PubMed and Google Scholar, were identified using the keywords "Stress" AND "Nursing Student" AND "Pandemi Covid-19" which were banned from 2015-2021. Research articles that meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria were reviewed using instrument Hawker. The results of the literature review research from 3 articles with 3 stress categories are as follows. The stress level using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) questionnaire is Moderate stress level of 112 (12.23%), then 2 articles using the DASS questionnaire show a Normal value of 469 (95.9%) of respondents, 45 (25.7%) students have a severe stress level with characteristics aged 15-22 years as many as 175 (18.1%), then most of female with total of 660 (23.34%) respondents, and the most criteria in this reasearch is from diploma with a total of 53 (100%) respondents.

Data Mining Techniques

Data mining techniques have proven quite effective not only in detecting financial statement frauds but also in discovering other financial crimes, such as credit card frauds, loan and security frauds, corporate frauds, bank and insurance frauds, etc. Classification of data mining techniques, in recent years, has been accepted as one of the most credible methodologies for the detection of symptoms of financial statement frauds through scanning the published financial statements of companies. The retrieved literature that has used data mining classification techniques can be broadly categorized on the basis of the type of technique applied, as statistical techniques and machine learning techniques. The biggest challenge in executing the classification process using data mining techniques lies in collecting the data sample of fraudulent companies and mapping the sample of fraudulent companies against non-fraudulent companies. In this article, a systematic literature review (SLR) of studies from the area of financial statement fraud detection has been conducted. The review has considered research articles published between 1995 and 2020. Further, a meta-analysis has been performed to establish the effect of data sample mapping of fraudulent companies against non-fraudulent companies on the classification methods through comparing the overall classification accuracy reported in the literature. The retrieved literature indicates that a fraudulent sample can either be equally paired with non-fraudulent sample (1:1 data mapping) or be unequally mapped using 1:many ratio to increase the sample size proportionally. Based on the meta-analysis of the research articles, it can be concluded that machine learning approaches, in comparison to statistical approaches, can achieve better classification accuracy, particularly when the availability of sample data is low. High classification accuracy can be obtained with even a 1:1 mapping data set using machine learning classification approaches.

Coffee brews are one of the most popular drinks. They are consumed for caffeine and its stimulant properties. The study aimed to summarize data on the influence of various factors on caffeine content in brews prepared with different methods. The study was carried out using a literature review from 2010–2020. PubMed and Google Scholar databases were searched. Data on caffeine content was collected by analyzing the following factors: the influence of species, brewing time, water temperature, pressure, degree of roast, grinding degree, water type, water/coffee ratio as well as other factors (such as geographical origin). To sum up, converting caffeine content to 1 L of the brew, the highest content is that of brews prepared in an espresso machine (portafilter), with the amount of 7.5 g of a coffee blend (95% Robusta + 5% Arabica), and water (the volume of coffee brew was 25 mL) at a temperature of 92 °C and a pressure of 7 bar, but the highest content in one portion was detected in a brew of 50 g of Robusta coffee poured with 500 mL of cold water (25 °C) and boiled.

AbstractThe purpose of this article is to review the literature regarding the relationships between alexithymia, fibromyalgia (FM), and psychological distress among adolescents. Google Scholar and databases were searched using alexithymia, fibromyalgia, psychological distress, and adolescent keywords. Studies that examine the relationship between alexithymia and fibromyalgia and the contribution of psychological distress on this relationship among adolescents are lacking. However, based on previous studies on adult samples and theoretical background, there are possible relationship between alexithymia and fibromyalgia as well as possible mediating effect of psychological distress on this relationship in adolescents. Further studies are recommended to examine the relationships between alexithymia, fibromyalgia, and psychological distress among adolescents.
