Building empathic bridges: Cross-cultural ‘maternal’ attunement in group psychotherapy for immigrants and refugees

Today, the immigrant population is significantly increasing in many countries, and some therapists are convening groups specifically devoted to them. Therapy with immigrants requires maintaining the emotional connection between persons of different cultures. Since culture is initially transmitted in pre-verbal interactions between mothers and infants, the field of mother-infant research can be utilized to provide models for mutual attunement in group psychotherapy. A revised understanding of the ‘mother group’ is proposed in terms of actual observed interactions as complementary to the inferred group dynamics in theories of ‘the group as mother’. Consideration is given to how healthy attachment and collaboration can be facilitated in the group. Since many refugees and asylum seekers suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, special attention is given to the maternal function of containment with respect to traumatic enactments in groups.

Penerapan Pompa Tanpa Listrik (Heron’s Fountain) untuk Hidroponik DFT (Deep Flow Technique) di Kelurahan Sukamerindu Kecamatan Sungai Serut Kota Bengkulu

THE APPLICATION OF NON-ELECTRIC PUMP (HERON’S FOUNTAIN) FOR DFT HYDROPONIC (DEEP FLOW TECHNIQUE) IN SUKAMERINDU, SUNGAI SERUT, BENGKULU CITY. Science and technology-based community engagement about the application of non-electric pump (Heron’s Fountain) for DFT hydroponics (Deep Flow Technique) have been carried out for mother group (respondent) in Sukamerindu, Sungai Serut, Bengkulu City. The aim of this activity is to apply the Appropriate Technology like hydroponics and Heron’s Fountain pumps. The methods of this activities are carried out by training which include socialization and field practice. This program produces 5 hydroponics which are equipped with Heron’s Fountain pumps and brief guidebook about of technologies. The application of the Heron’s Fountain pump for DFT hydroponics was effective in circulating nutrients for hydroponic plants. The Heron’s Fountain pump works temporarily for 45 minutes (10 liters). It was considered sufficient to circulate nutrients for hydroponic plants as evidenced by the same quality for all plants. All plants grow optimally and more yields than initial estimates. The planting period to harvest using hydroponic technology and the Heron’s Fountain pump is quite short, which is approximately 2.5 months. The use of these two technologies helps partners to start farming without using soil media. The cost of making and operating both systems so as to increase the interest of respondent to implement them independently.

Managing Ideology

Even if a rebel group could mitigate the threat posed by group members interested in ideology, doing so would take significant time and resources away from the main group’s objective. As a result, well-organized groups in the rebel bloc need to find a delicate balance between using ideology as a screening mechanism and preventing it from becoming a fighter’s top priority. To achieve that, armed groups need to be very clear about their true goals to avoid any misunderstanding among potential recruits. Another helpful tactic is to have a small but more radical non-independent armed group in the rebel bloc to draw such fighters away from the main mother group while still keeping them in the rebel bloc to fight the enemy. Highly dedicated foreign fighters can join the smaller group, thus still pursuing the overall war goals without threatening the mother group and its leadership.

Result of Multivariate Analysis together between health education ofearly mobilitation and age with long day care, it showed that p=0,00 value means there wassignificant correlation between health education of early mobilitation and age with long daycare. By controlling variable of age could prediction long day care as much as 51%.Health education of early mobilitation to the intervention groups showed that average of longday care faster than control groups. There was significant correlation between healtheducation of early mobilitation to the long day care for patient post operation section caesaria.

Neonatal Outcome Among Adolescent and Adult Pregnancy in a Tertiary Care Center of Nepal

Background: Teenage pregnancy is a common public health problem worldwide which is detrimental to the health of mother and child and has long been considered a high-risk situation. The risk of low birth weight (LBW) and preterm delivery is particularly high among teenagers.Methods: A comparative study was conducted in Nepalgunj Medical College Teaching Hospital, Kohalpur during the period of July 2015 to June 2016. The study was carried out to compare the immediate neonatal outcome and morbidity pattern in neonates of 50 adolescent and 50 adult mothers.Results: In the present study, 84% belonged to adolescent mother group (17-19 years) whereas 50% belonged to adult mother group (20-23 years). Illiteracy was seen more in adolescent mothers (62%) and most were from rural areas (68%). The common immediate neonatal outcome found in adolescent and adult mothers were preterm delivery (96% vs. 52%; p value 0.001), low birth weight (LBW) (70% vs. 38%; p value 0.001). The common neonatal morbidities seen significantly high in neonates of adolescent mothers, viz: Neonatal sepsis (NNS)(54% vs. 20% p value <0.02), apnea (30% vs. 14% P value <0.02), neonatal jaundice(NNJ)(44% vs. 30% p value <0.01) while the other morbidities found were birth asphyxia (20% vs. 14%; p value <0.1), Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) (36% vs. 24% p value<0.1), anemia (16% vs. 8%; p value <0.1), seizure (10% vs. 8%; p value <0.1), meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) (6% vs. 18%; p value<0.1) and intrauterine growth retardation(IUGR)(22% vs. 20%; p value <0.5). Similarly mortality was found to be more in neonates of adolescent mothers (14% vs. 8%; p value <0.1).Conclusion: Adolescent pregnant mothers are at risk of having poor neonatal outcome and morbidities like NNS, NNJ, RDS, apnea, IUGR, birth asphyxia, anemia and seizure.

The Effect of Advanced Motherhood on Newborn Offspring’s Hippocampal Neural Stem Cell Proliferation

Objective. To investigate the effect of advanced motherhood on rat hippocampal neural stem cell proliferation.Methods. Female parents were subdivided into control and old mother group by age, and neural stem cells were cultured from hippocampal tissues for 24 h newborn offspring. The diameter and numbers of neurospheres were examined by microscopy, and differences in proliferation were examined by EdU immunofluorescence, CCK-8 assay, and cell cycle analysis.Results. The number of neurospheres in the old mother group after culture was lower than the control group. Additionally, neurospheres’ diameter was smaller than that of the control group (P<0.05). The EdU positive rate of the old mother group was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). CCK-8 assay results showed that the absorbance values for the old mother group were lower than that of the control group at 48 h and 72 h (P<0.05). The proportions of cells in the S and G2/M phases of the cell cycle for the older mother group were less than that found for the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion. The proliferation rates of hippocampal NSCs seen in the older mother group were lower than that seen in the control group.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 12.45pt 6pt 17.85pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 26.95pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Food taboo in Indonesia is still a problem. As consequences, pregnant mother, lactating mother and children do not eat the taboo foods so that it can reduce their food intake and finally it can decrease their nutritional status. The objectives of this study are 1) to identify taboo foods, 2) to identify reasons of taboo food and 3) to improve basic nutrition knowledge through training on food and nutrition. Study was conducted in Barito Kuala South Kalimantan from December 2005 to November 2006. A sample of size 36 households was drawn randomly from household population of size 180. The households population is household farmer who are beneficiary of Special Program for Food Security, Food and Agriculture Organization. Data were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively and presented in one way table. Results show that groups which had many food taboo were pregnant woman group and lactating mother group. There are 7 taboo foods for pregnant woman and 11 taboo foods for lactating mother. Some taboo foods for pregnant women are ice, twin banana, young coconut, coconut water, young pineapple and fish. Some taboo foods for lactating mother are egg, fresh fish, fish, sugar, salt, jackfruit, fat food, hot food, etc. After attending training, the knowledge on nutrition and food of the farmers increase significantly, therefore it is hoped that their knowledge can reduce their believe of the food taboo. </span></p>
