Measuring people’s attitude towards conservation of Leopard Panthera pardus (Mammalia: Carnivora) in the foothills of Himalayan region

Measuring people’s attitudes about the large carnivores involved in human-wildlife interface, also termed conflict or interaction, is an essential aspect of developing effective conservation and management planning for human-carnivore coexistence. Human-leopard (Panthera pardus) interaction is widespread and one of the most pressing conservation issues within the global range of leopards. However, there is a scarcity of information on local people’s opinions and attitudes concerning carnivores in human-dominated areas. Our current study focused on understanding the human dimensions of human-leopard interactions in the multi-purpose landscape situated in the foothills of Shiwalik Himalaya, Uttarakhand, India. Between January and May 2022, we conducted a semi-structured questionnaire survey (N = 266) to understand how socio-demographic factors impact the attitudes of local people toward leopard conservation in the Rajaji Tiger Reserve, Uttarakhand, India. Overall, 61.7% of respondents had positive attitudes toward leopards and supported leopard conservation, primarily attributed to the aesthetic value of leopards. Using ordinal logistic regression models, we found that male respondents and individuals with higher education had a positive attitude towards leopard conservation. The majority of respondents who conveyed positive attitudes towards leopard conservation belonged to the more educated socio-demographic groups. As a follow-up, specific studies need to be conducted on local people’s attitude about compensation or compassionate payments, often disbursed as compassionate payments, the response of the forest department to prevailing conflict, and current awareness programs. These can be crucial factors towards shaping the attitude of local respondents and promote human-leopard coexistence.

Knowledge, attitude and practice of healthcare workers on isoniazid preventive treatment in Tanzania; a health facility-based cross-sectional study

BackgroundTuberculosis (TB) remains a significant public health concern globally, particularly in regions with a high prevalence of HIV/AIDS. In Tanzania, the co-occurrence of TB and HIV poses a substantial challenge to healthcare systems. Isoniazid Preventive Therapy (IPT) has become an important intervention to mitigate the risk of TB infection among individuals living with HIV. Despite its proven efficacy, the extent of knowledge, attitude, and practice of healthcare workers (HCWs) in Tanzania is not well-documented. This study aimed to evaluate the levels of knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding IPT among healthcare workers.MethodsA cross-sectional study was carried out among healthcare workers working at TB/HIV clinics in 12 regions of Tanzania mainland. A semi-structured questionnaire was administered to the respondents consisting of social demographic characteristics, knowledge, attitude, and practice questions. Data were analyzed using Stata version 14.0.ResultsA total of 464 respondents were interviewed, with 282 (60.8%) being female. The mean age was 36.4 years (SD = 11.0). Among the interviewed, 255 (55.0%) were nurses. Regarding knowledge, attitude, and practice on IPT, 217 (46.8%), 220 (47.0%), and 422 (90.9%) respondents respectively demonstrated adequacy in these domains. Factors such as gender, university education, professional role in healthcare practice, cumulative work experience of one year or more, tenure at a TB/HIV clinic of one year or longer, and attendance at IPT-related training emerged as significant determinants. These factors influence respondents' knowledge, attitude, and practice towards IPT.ConclusionThe findings underscored a notable knowledge gap and a less favourable attitude towards IPT among HCWs, despite commendable practices. Addressing this disparity through targeted training interventions for healthcare workers holds promise for enhancing their understanding and attitude toward IPT, thereby fostering increased acceptance and utilization of this preventive therapy.

Changes in the resource potential of older generations of Russians (based on materials from longitudinal studies)

The increase in life expectancy is a global trend in the field of population. The purpose of the article is to identify the changes in the components of the resource potential of Russians belonging to different real generations but being in the same age phase of 50–69 years. The first cohort reached the age of 50–69 years in 1993, the second in 2021. Within the framework of the study, resource potential is understood as a set of significant socio-psychological, economic and personal characteristics necessary for leading an active social and everyday life. E. Rosset’s position on the lengthening of the period of adulthood with an increase in life expectancy is taken as the methodological basis of the study. The provisions of the theory of social activity and the sociological approach to personal self-sufficiency are used to identify qualitative changes in the social and personal characteristics of Russians who are at a transitional stage of their life path from maturity to old age. The research hypothesis about gradual changes in the ways of organizing life, attitudes and behavior in people in transition from adulthood to old age is tested based on a comparison of data from two studies – RUSSET, Wave 1, 1993; the National Survey of the Older Generation under the SHARE program (population 50+), 2021. The social characteristics and attitudes of respondents who are in the same age phase (50–69 years old), but belong to different age cohorts that differ by generation length, are compared. The intensity and severity of family, professional, communication, etc. differentiates life choices on a scale from “active life” to “survival”. The main result of the study was the differentiation of the components of the resource potential of the older generation into changeable and stable ones. Trends were identified that reflect qualitative changes in the resource potential of older generations of Russians. They cannot be unambiguously characterized as positive or negative. In the context of the problem of human potential, the most significant change is associated with an increase in the level of education of older Russians. Older Russians are a highly educated population with high demands on society and an active social position. The rigidity of attitudes towards retirement age and professional employment constrains the resource potential of older Russians. In conclusion, it is concluded that the results obtained during the study can serve as an additional basis for the practical implementation of tasks related to the mobilization of the human resource of older Russians.

Telling Tales: Using Vignettes to Overcome Optimism Bias in Farm Health and Safety Attitudinal Studies

ABSTRACT Objective Measuring attitudes of farmers to safe farming practices using quantitative causal relationship approaches is central to improving understanding of (un)safe practices. This knowledge is important in the development of effective farm safety interventions. However, the accuracy of quantitative attitudinal studies in explaining farmers’ decision-making faces a potential measurement challenge, i.e. a high level of optimism bias. In this paper, we present research that develops and tests farm safety attitudinal questions that are framed around “real-life” farming practices with the objective of reducing optimism bias. Methods We apply construal level theory (CLT) to support the design of vignettes that reflect common risk scenarios faced by farmers. Applying qualitative analysis of 274 fatal farm incidents that occurred in Ireland between 2004 and 2018 we identify the occupational behaviors (what farmers do), social (who are farmers), spatial (where farming takes place), and temporal (when farming happens) dimensions of risks resulting in most deaths. The results informed subsequent co-design activities with farm safety experts and farm advisors to develop “real-life” scenarios, attitudinal questions, and response options. The questionnaire was piloted and subsequently implemented to collect data from a sample of 381 farmers with either tractors or livestock. The results of the survey were compared to previous attitudinal research on farmer’s attitudes to safety in Ireland to establish if there was as follows: i) increased variance in the responses, and ii) a statistically significant difference in the attitudes of respondents compared to the results reported in previous studies. Results The findings established that when farmers were provided with real-life scenarios, their responses were less optimistic and more varied, i.e. there was a greater range of responses, compared to previous studies. Conclusion Applying CTL to the development of attitudinal survey instruments anchors attitudinal questions within farming specific occupational, social, spatial, and temporal contexts. The use of vignettes that draw on real-life scenarios offers the potential for improved design of surveys that seek to understand farmer/worker practices. The results suggest that this approach can improve the measurement of attitudes to farm safety.

Determinants of COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy: A Cross-Sectional Study in Three Communities in the United States and Lebanon.

The COVID-19 pandemic underscores the significance of vaccine hesitancy in shaping vaccination outcomes. Understanding the factors underpinning COVID-19 vaccination hesitancy is crucial for tailoring effective vaccination strategies. This cross-sectional study, conducted in three communities across the United States and Lebanon, employed surveys to assess respondents' knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions regarding COVID-19 infection and vaccination. Among the 7196 participants, comprising 6775 from the US and 422 from Lebanon, vaccine hesitancy rates were comparable at 12.2% and 12.8%, respectively. Notably, a substantial proportion of respondents harbored misconceptions, such as attributing the potential to alter DNA (86.4%) or track individuals (92.8%) to COVID-19 vaccines and believing in the virus's artificial origins (81%). US participants had more misconceptions about the COVID-19 vaccine, such as altering DNA or causing infertility. Lebanese participants were more likely to question the origins of the virus and the speed of vaccine development. Additionally, US respondents were less worried about infection, while Lebanese respondents were more indecisive but less likely to outright reject the vaccine. Primary determinants of hesitancy included perceptions that the vaccine poses a greater risk than the infection itself (aOR = 8.7 and 9.4, respectively) and negative recommendations from healthcare providers (aOR = 6.5 and 5.4, respectively). Conversely, positive endorsements from healthcare providers were associated with reduced hesitancy (aOR = 0.02 and 0.4, respectively). Targeting healthcare providers to dispel misinformation and elucidate COVID-19 vaccine risks holds promise for enhancing vaccination uptake.

Attitudes of Respondents on the Significance of Digitization in Multinational Enterprises and Its Importance for Well-Being

Abstract This paper investigates the intricate dynamics of digitization in multinational enterprises, exploring the attitudes of stakeholders and their perceived impact on individual well-being within these complex ecosystems. The comprehensive literature review underscores the transformative potential of digitization, noting its “bright sides” such as efficiency gains and innovation, alongside the “dark sides” involving cybersecurity threats and job displacement. The study utilizes a rigorous research methodology employing statistical tools like the Mann-Whitney U Test, Kruskal-Wallis Test, Linear Regression and Factor Analysis to analyze attitudes and perceptions. The qualitative phase aims to capture in-depth insights into decision-making processes, challenges faced, and perceived benefits. The quantitative survey, designed based on identified factors from the literature, seeks to validate these findings on a broader scale. The findings reveal nuanced interplays between attitudes toward digitization in multinational enterprises and their broader implications for the well-being of individuals and society. The analysis also highlights the communalities and factors influencing peoples’ attitudes, emphasizing the delicate balance between the positive and negative dimensions of digitization. This study contributes a nuanced understanding of the intricate relationship between organizational attitudes toward digitization and its effects on the well-being of those navigating the complexities of multinational enterprises. Beyond its academic value, the research provides actionable insights for practitioners in crafting strategies that align digitization goals with the holistic well-being of stakeholders.

The Impact of Fiscal Councils on Public Perception: A Survey Experiment in the Czech Republic

Abstract This study examines the influence of fiscal councils on public opinion regarding fiscal issues. Using a survey-framing experiment on a representative sample of 900 inhabitants of the Czech Republic, the study evaluates how the framing of a message regarding the negative effects of rising government debt would impact the attitudes of respondents. The results show that framing the message as coming from the Czech Fiscal Council does not increase its credibility. Fiscal councils should not focus on persuading the public of their viewpoint on public finance issues, but rather utilize the knowledge of agenda-setting theory to gain media attention for fiscal issues.

#2311 Comparative analysis of knowledge and attitude regarding deceased donation in health care workers and the general population

Abstract Background and Aims Kidney transplantation is widely regarded as the best treatment option for end stage kidney disease. Despite being introduced over 40 years ago, the rate of kidney transplantation in Bangladesh is still very low at an average yearly rate of below 200 transplants over the last 5 years. Lack of donors and financial constraints have emerged as the biggest obstacles. Until recently, live related transplantation was the only option. There have been only 2 deceased transplantations last year, both from the same donor. In order to understand these low rates, we aim to understand the prevailing knowledge and attitude towards transplantation in the community and among the health care workers (HCWs) and how much they differ. Method This cross-sectional study has been ongoing since May 2022. It is a self-administered survey using a paper-based questionnaire, developed by the Asian Society of Transplant, asking about the respondent's knowledge and attitude regarding deceased organ donation in Bangladesh. The survey was administered in both HCWs and non-HCWs using a pre-tested questionnaire. The HCWs were recruited from 9 hospitals across Bangladesh and the non-HCWs were recruited from Universities, attendants accompanying patients in hospital waiting areas and a few offices. Convenient sampling technique was used. Data was analyzed by statistical analysis software (SAS) studio. Results Data was collected from 1351 respondents, 874 (65.6%) were HCWs and 458 (34.4%) were non-HCWs. Among the HCWs, 131 (15%) were doctors, 745 (85.2%) were nurses and 130 (14.9%) were final year medical students. Among the non-HCWs, business (10.3%), acting (8.9%) and teaching (4.4%) were the predominant professions. The mean age of the respondents was 36.4 (±14.1) years, 65.5% were female. The HCWs were significantly younger and had more females, mostly owing to the large sample of nurses. Twenty percent of the non-HCWs never heard about deceased donation compared to 3.4% HCWs (p < 0.0001). 79.5% of the HCWs said they knew very little or not at all about deceased donation. The self-assessment was about similar in the non-HCWs. Only 11.6% HCWs said they received education about organ donation, compared to 20.5% of the non-HCWs (p = 0.0004). Regarding deceased donation, 36% HCWs had a positive attitude, 58.7% were neutral and 5.3% were negative. Among the non-HCWs, 30.5% were positive, 35.5% were neutral and 34% were negative (p < 0.0001). Regarding willingness, 11.1% HCWs were very willing to donate themselves, 61.3% were contemplating and 27.6% were unwilling. Among the non-HCWs, 11.2% were willing to donate, 48.8% were contemplating and 40% were unwilling. When asked to list all reasons for not willing to donate, lack of information was most common (64.8% HCWs, 49.6% non-HCWs), followed by fear of donation (12.5% HCWs, 25.9% non-HCWs) and religious beliefs (6.8% HCWs, 15.6% non-HCWs) (p < 0.0001). When asked about the most reliable sources of information in order to promote deceased donation, the opinion varied widely. The most popular ones were online contents (63.9% HCWs, 12.4% non-HCWs), outdoor events (36.2% HCWs, 21.2% non-HCWs) and TV advertises (30% HCWs, 6.1% non-HCWs) (p < 0.0001). Conclusion The overall knowledge regarding deceased donation was poor. Most people had a neutral attitude towards donation and were contemplating donation themselves. The HCWs were more willing to donate. Lack of information was the leading reason behind unwillingness. Online promotions were considered the best modality for future promotion.

Not in the countryside please! Investigating UK residents’ perceptions of an introduced species, the ring-necked parakeet (Psittacula krameri)

Wildlife management can generate social conflict when stakeholder perceptions of the target species are not considered. Introduced Ring-necked Parakeets (RNP) are established in the UK and have been added to the ‘general licence’ of birds that can be killed to prevent serious economic damage. We aimed to better understand perceptions of RNPs on a nationwide scale to inform mitigation actions for potential future conflict over RNP management. We surveyed 3,947 UK residents to understand awareness of, knowledge of and attitudes towards the RNP across the UK. We found that most respondents (90.2%) were aware of the RNP. Almost half of respondents (45.9%) held negative opinions, particularly against the RNP in rural areas (64.7%), suggesting landscape contexts influence attitudes. Respondent preference for the RNP was low in local neighbourhoods (7.80%) although the species was considered aesthetically pleasing by most (83.0%). Many respondents knew the species’ name (54.9%), but underestimated current population numbers in the UK (82.6%) and few knew its full native range (10.0%). We identified respondents’ ecological interest, age, education, preference for, awareness of and knowledge of the RNP as significant factors associated with perceptions. Our findings suggest that the RNP presents a complex socio-environmental challenge, with respondent awareness, knowledge and attitudes each forming an important component of perceptions towards this species. We recommend that wildlife managers utilise our findings and cohesive approach to enhance future RNP perception research in the UK and abroad and towards the success of any proposed management initiatives under the UK general licence.

Attitude and Practice of Pharmacy Students Toward Traditional Herbal Medicines, Sudan.

Traditional herbal medicines (THMs) are widely used in Sudan, but there is scarcity of research on pharmacy students' attitudes and utilization of THMs. This study aims to assess the attitudes and practices of pharmacy students toward THM. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among randomly selected undergraduate pharmacy students at the University of Khartoum (Sudan). Data were collected using a validated self-administered questionnaire adapted from previous studies. A statistical package for the social sciences was used for data analysis. Among the 264 respondents, the average age was 21.8 years, and 84.8% of them were females. Nearly 85% of respondents were residents of Khartoum. The overall respondent's attitudes towards THMs were positive, it ranged from high (19.7%), moderate (79.9%). About 87.8% of respondents are interested in learning more about THMs. In addition, 36.4%, and 50.4% of respondents strongly agreed or agreed that THMs should be officially licensed and controlled. A 17.8% and 63.3% of respondents, respectively, reported using traditional herbal remedies either alwaysor occasionally. Supermarkets (35.2%) and friends/family (36.4%) were the main sources of THMs for the participants, and oral administration was the most used route (87.1%). More than 90% of respondents said they would suggest THMs to others, and the most common justifications for doing so were their accessibility (46.6%) and affordability (16.3%). The most widely used herbs were Mentha spicata, Zingiber officinale, Acacia nilotica, Hibiscus sabdariffa, and Syzygium aromaticum. Data revealed a significant association between attitude levels and respondents' gender (p=0.046), year of study (p=0.000), and residence (p=0.017). Most undergraduate pharmacy students had a positive attitude and utilized THMs. Development of effective educational initiatives, research, and regulations are recommended to ensure the appropriate utilization of traditional herbal remedies.

Introduction Dental caries is a worldwide disease affecting children and older populations.There aremultiple interventionsto treatdentalcariesthat could be sometimeshard todeliver,due to the general statusof patientssuch as insufficient cooperationormedicallycompromising conditions. Therefore, another alternative to control dental caries is being used andhasbeenrecentlyintroduced and approved by the Saudi FDA which is silver diamine fluoride (SDF). Objectives This study aimed toinvestigate the level of knowledge, attitudes, and practices about the use of SDF among dentists in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Materials and methods Thiscross-sectionalstudywas conductedusingpretested,anonlinedigitally designedquestionnairesentto500 Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS) registereddentists working in the following specialties: general practitioners, interns,restorative,family, pediatric, and public health dentistswho are working in public and private hospitals and clinics. One-way ANOVAwas usedto determine the comparison of participants'knowledge and Practice with three variables (participants' specialty, place of work, and years of experience), while Chi-square was used for the comparison of respondent's attitudes about the use of SDF and the above same variables. Result A totalof265responseswerereceived(response rate is53%). Themajority of therespondents were general practitioners and interns 144 (54.3%).Over50% of dentists believedthat theywereveryinformedaboutSDF. The mean score of knowledgeand practices of SDF of participants was found below average 49.13 (19.81) and 43 (26.12), respectively. Correlation ofthemeanscoreknowledgeand practicing SDFwith the type of specialty showed that pediatric dentists had statically significant (P<0.05)higher mean of knowledge 66.94 (SD=17.64)and practicing of SDF 61.93 (22.12) as compared to other specialties,whileno statistically significant differences were found among the groups in the overall knowledge andpractices based on years of experience andworkplace.Attitudeswere correlated with the three above variables (specialty, years of experience, and place of work)and showed thatpediatric dentists had the highest satisfaction with the results of SDF (85.3%)andweremorewilling to recommend using it to others(91.2%) as compared totheother groups(P<0.05).Nostatistically significant differenceswerefound with respect to the latervariables. Conclusion The findings of this studyshowed that irrespective of the positive attitude of participants towards SDF,pediatric dentistswere found to have higher knowledge and use SDF more than other dentists in different specialties. Furthermore, they showed higher satisfaction with its use. Years of experienceand workplace had no effect on the level of knowledge or practice among participants.

Assessment of respondents' knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward rabies and associated risk factors in Shone Town, Southern Ethiopia.

Rabies is a neglected tropical viral disease most often transmitted through the bite of an infected animal. This study assessed the level of knowledge, attitudes, and practices of the Shone Town community toward rabies. A survey-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Shone town, Ethiopia, from November 2022 to April 2023. Woreda was selected purposefully, while Kebeles and the study populations were selected by simple random sampling. Four hundred and sixteen respondents were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire. All respondents had heard about rabies from different sources, with the majority hearing from informal sources (62%). Approximately 51.9%, 0.7%, and 47.4% of individuals were aware of saliva contact, rabid animal bites, and both as means of transmission, respectively. The survey showed that 64.4% of participants knew the 100% fatal nature of rabies once the clinical signs developed, and 35.6% did not. Approximately 51.4% of respondents agreed that killing stray dogs was an effective method for rabies prevention. In this study, 72.6% of the respondents had contact with pets, and 36.8% of the interviewees had vaccinated their dogs. Only the educational level (p = 0.03) was associated with knowledge of the transmission route. Age (p = 0.04) and educational level (p = 0.01) had a statistically significant association with knowledge of the risk of not vaccinating dogs. A lack of formal education in the communities, low levels of education, and the majority of respondents acquiring their knowledge from unofficial sources are important contributors to the low levels of awareness.

Pengaruh Pengembangan Sumber Daya Manusia dan Motivasi terhadap Kinerja Karyawan Golden Tulip Springhill

The quality of a good lodging place or hotel will not be separated from the optimal performance of employees. This is in line with the increasing business development causing competition between economic actors in the hospitality sector to be tighter, so to be able to compete companies must pay attention to quality in the field of HR, in order to improve the development of employee performance and optimize all aspects and motivate employees related to company activities. Human resource development is needed so that the level of performance in employees is more creative and innovative. The type of data used in this study is quantitative data collected in the form of respondents' opinions, attitudes, experiences, and other characteristics. When used to determine certain samples and populations, quantitative research techniques can be considered as positivism-based research methodologies based on the results of t tests of human resource development variables and motivation to produce t count greater than t table (1,997) and a Sig value of less than 0.05 This means that there is a partial influence on employee performance that the impact variable between human resource development and motivation has an effect significant to employee performance. As a result, the hypothesis in this study is that together human resource development and motivation have an influence on employee performance.

PEMBERDAYAAN PASIEN DIABETES MELITUS DALAM PERAWATAN KAKI BERBASIS M-DFEET APPLICATION DAN VIDEO PERAWATAN KAKI DI WILAYAH PUSKESMAS DENPASAR SELATAN

Introduction &amp; Aim: The diabetic foot problem is potentially the most preventable long-term complication of diabetes. Programs and instruments related to the early detection of diabetic feet, especially in Indonesia, are still experiencing problems because they have not yet implemented an information technology approach. Novel discoveries that are inventive, imaginative, efficient, and simple for patients to do on their own are needed for these illnesses. A mobile application known as Mobile Diabetic Foot Early Self-Assessment (M-DFEET) was created for Android. The purpose of community service was to empower families and DM patients to independently perform foot examinations and care using the M-DFEET application and audio-visual media. Method of Activity: The steps of this community service activity follow the POAC concept approach: planning by assessing community service activities with partners, organizing via approaches with relevant parties, and determining if DM patients are prepared to receive instruction. Actuating and Controlling conducted training for DM patients regarding independent foot care with the M-DFEET application and audio-visual media, evaluation, and reflection, which were carried out three times (June until August 2023). Results: the average value of the knowledge level of the respondents before training on foot care with M-DFEET and audiovisual media was 9.07 and increased to 12.37 after the training. The attitude of respondents before training on foot care with M-DFEET and audiovisual media had an average of 49.37 and increased to 61.37 after being given training. Respondents' skills before being given foot care training with M-DFEET and audiovisual media had an average of 9.90 and increased to 13.03 after being given training. Discussion: There is an effect of foot care training with M-DFEET and audiovisual media on the level of knowledge, attitudes, and skills.

Факторы доверия и недоверия в общественном сознании молодого поколения дагестанцев религиозным институтам

The Islamic renaissance, the increased role of the confessional component in modern Dagestani so-ciety, the orientation towards religious postulates characteristic of Dagestani population and their introduction into public consciousness requires an analysis of the presence/absence of trust in reli-gious institutions. The realities indicate that the population adheres to the provisions of Islamic teachings in a personal model of behavior in various spheres (family, marriage, political, economic, ethical). The article analyzes the level of trust in spiritual institutions, in this context, the republican Muftiate, existing in the public consciousness of the younger generation of Dagestanis. Gender, age, and educational differences are shown in demonstrating trust in and distrust of the Muftiate. The empirical material obtained indicates the presence of a high level of trust in the Muftiate in the pub-lic consciousness of the Dagestani youth surveyed. Through the prism of attitudes towards religion, analytics states the difference in the attitudes of respondents by type of religiosity: an overwhelming majority of those who associate as convinced believers and believers demonstrate trust, unlike the sub-masses of waverers, non-believers and convinced non-believers. The “control question” on the basis of distrust of the republican Muftiate shows that the younger generation of Dagestanis consid-er the destructive role of this organization in religious life, the opposition of Dagestani Muslims, which contributed to the intra-Islamic split and groundless accusations of “undesirable persons of Wahhabism and Salafism” to be the main reason for its existence. The material confirming a high degree of trust in the religious institute among the young Dagestanis interviewed is a natural result of the Muftiate’s active efforts, which consist in the introduction of Islamic postulates into the mass consciousness. In particular, there is an active participation of Islamic clerics in the political and ed-ucational processes of contemporary Dagestani society. The activity of religious persons, the latent imposition of a model of relationships based on Muslim rules, may, firstly, destabilize Dagestani so-ciety, and secondly, form the principles of religious intolerance therein.

Hypo-glycaemia and Associated Factors among Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Patients Attending the Outpatient Clinics of Debre-tabor Compressive and Specialized Hospital, South Gondar Zone, North West Ethiopia: A Cross-sectional Study

Introduction: Hypoglycemia affects patient safety and glycemic control during insulin treatment of both type 1 (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). It is still a major clinical problem in the treatment of type 1 diabetes that impairs metabolic control. This study aimed to assess hypoglycemia and associated factors among type 1 diabetes mellitus patients attending the outpatient clinics of Debra–Tabor Comprehensive and Specialized Hospital, in 2021. Method: institutional-based cross-sectional study design was conducted among 204 selected type I DM, from June 1/2021 to August 30/2021. The study participants were selected by systematic sampling method from monthly follow-up lists and lists of registration. Data were cleaned and entered into Epi Data and then exported into SPSS version 20 for analysis. Data were presented with texts, graphs, diagrams, and tables but an analytic form of findings will be presented by text form of the odds ratio. Bivariable and multivariable binary logistic regression models were fitted to identify factors associated with hypoglycemia p – value &lt; 0.05 was considered statistically significant and reported as a 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: A total of 204 participants participated with a response rate of 100%, and prevalence of self-reported hypoglycemia was 88.7% (95%, CI: 83.8-92.6) and the prevalence of hypoglycemia was significantly associated with occupation [AOR: 4.01 (95% CI:1.86-9.35)], higher educational status [AOR: 2.13 (95% CI:1.92-13.15)], diabetic duration &lt; 1 [AOR: 3.80 (95% CI:1.32-9.28)], poor knowledge [AOR: 4.91 (95% CI:1.09-11.06)] and favorable attitude [AOR: 5.86 (1.10-6.07)].
