An Epidemiological Study on Diabetes and Pre-Diabetes in an Urban Area with Reference to Lifestyle Modification

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most common non-communicable diseases (NCDs) globally. It is the fourth or fifth leading cause of death in most high-income countries and there is substantial evidence that it is an epidemic in newly industrialized and many economically developing countries. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic illness requiring continuous medical care with multifactorial risk reduction strategies beyond glycemic control. Ongoing patient self-management education and support are critical to preventing acute complications and reducing the risk of long-term complications. Genetic factors are responsible for at least some of this. However, as evidenced by the increased incidence of diabetes mellitus in urban populations, the fast epidemiological shift linked to food pattern alterations and decreased physical activity is the main cause of the diabetes mellitus epidemic. Due to population aging, growth, urbanization, a lack of physical exercise, and a high incidence of obesity, there are more persons with DM. Lifestyle factors include eating patterns, exercise routines, alcohol consumption, and smoking. An improvement in these parameters would lead to better adherence to hypoglycemic medications. An epidemiological study on diabetes and pre-diabetes in an urban area with reference to lifestyle modification. A community-based intervention study. It was conducted in an urban area. Personal interviews using a semi-structured, pretested questionnaire were the main technique of data gathering. Detailed information has been taken on the demographic and socio-economic characteristics at both the individual and household levels. All responders provided their willingly given consent. Every second household was visited by systematic random sampling procedure to select 400 respondents. Due to non-response, inaccuracy and/or unreliability of information 50 Cases were not included in the analysis. Four more instances of diabetes were also removed from the research. Finally, analysis was carried out on 346 respondents. All respondents were questioned using a pretested, semi-structured questionnaire after giving their informed consent. Significant difference was observed with positive family history of diabetes, obesity, physical activities in male, high calorie intake, stress, chewable tobacco and blood pressure level with pre-diabetes and diabetes. Compared to responders with normal blood glucose levels, pre-diabetics and diabetics showed more positive family histories. Compared to responders with normal blood glucose levels, pre-diabetics and diabetics were more likely to be overweight. With regard to personal habits of the respondents, smoking was associated with more than 1-fold increase risk of obtaining serum glucose level >110 mg/dl as compared to nonsmokers. The current research was an attempt to examine the effect of intervention with reference to life style modification. From the study, it is evident that overall awareness about diabetes has been found low and no awareness has been found about pre-diabetes. The present study also demonstrated that education is the fundamental tool to make the population aware of their health issues. Awareness about pre-diabetes and diabetes, which can make them beneficial for community and nation and so, they can play an innovative role for prevention of diabetes.

Gender Equality or Inequality in Learning Institutions in South Africa: A Case of the Professional Advancement of Women

This study unveils the role of gender issues in the professional advancement of women in learning institutions. The study investigated the status of women’s professional advancement in South African learning institutions and identified the obstacles encountered by women in advancing professionally in these institutions. The study examined the work environment in learning institutions when women are in leadership positions and discussed male employees’ perceptions of female colleagues and superiors. The research used a primary data-gathering technique and a qualitative data-collection tool in a descriptive research strategy under the interpretivist research philosophy. The study’s target population included both women and men in learning institutions in South Africa. The participants were chosen for interviews using the purposive sampling technique. Following the thematic analysis approach, the findings revealed that there are several opportunities for women to progress in their careers at South African educational institutions, as well as several leadership roles. They are also given increased trust and responsibility. Some participants believed that there are no barriers that prevent women from advancing professionally in educational institutions whereas others believed that existing barriers are primarily caused by individual issues, a lack of support, cultural issues, and concerns about sexual misconduct. When women are in positions of leadership, the perception of the workplace atmosphere is equivocal. While certain participants felt that jealousy made the workplace hostile, others believed that the environment was inviting and provided opportunities for female employees to advance. Finally, it was indicated that the paradigm for empowering women in South Africa must emphasise seizing chances, providing a guiding structure, recognising efforts and successes, and eliminating patriarchy. This study contributes to the existing discourse on the role of gender in the career advancement of women.

Assessing Listening Comprehension Skills in Indonesian Islamic Higher Education EFL Classrooms: Current Practices, Challenges and Solutions

The present study aims to examine the current practices, constraints, and potential enablers when assessing students' listening skills in Indonesian Islamic higher education EFL classrooms. This study used a qualitative approach with a case study research design. The selection of the participants used purposive sampling. The study used interviews as a data gathering technique, involving six EFL lecturers in one Indonesian Islamic higher education institution in South Sulawesi. The findings show participants’ awareness of the various alternative methods to assess students’ listening skills. However, their discussions tend to focus on what is easiest to use as opposed to what matters most for students’ listening skills. Furthermore, participants’ descriptions of EFL lecturers’ constraints in assessing listening skills encompass various educational aspects, which could be classified into resources and practical constraints. The former includes a lack of representative language laboratories and learning resources for conducting quality listening assessment practices. The latter relates to time constraints, auditory surroundings, and designing and developing listening assessment instruments. Therefore, the participants raised several key strategies to enhance quality listening assessment practices, ranging from resources to practical strategies. This includes a high quality and sufficient quantity of educational resources, the use of diverse and authentic assessment tasks, and more collaborative work to share best practices and experience in conducting quality listening assessment practices. These findings imply the need for reformulation of existing practices and policies related to foreign language assessment that could have significant impacts on EFL students, teachers, and classrooms.

The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach. The data was collected on 36 students from class VIII-B at State Senior High School 2 of Taman. Within this sample, 6 students were selected, comprising of 2 students classified as having a high adversity quotient (referred to as “climber”), 2 students with a moderate adversity quotient (referred to as “camper”), and 2 students with a low adversity quotient (referred to as “quitter”). The study used problem-solving tests and interviews as data-gathering techniques, followed by data analysis techniques outlined by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana.
 The findings of this study indicated that the climber students demonstrated proficiency across all eight layers of understanding, as proposed by Pirie and Kieren. Climber students exhibited the process of folding back, which involved retrieving previously learned information to effectively address the current challenge without deviating from the relevant subject matter. On the other hand, camper students could attain a level of comprehension that extends to the structuring layer, albeit with a limitation in terms of the maximum attainable layer. However, it is essential to note that not all indicators of layer understanding may be attained flawlessly by camper students. Camper students underwent a process of folding back, delving into deeper layers, and gathering additional information to ensure the accuracy of their work. Quitter students could attain the image-making layer because they use inappropriate methods. However, suppose they employ a trial and error; the resultant value must satisfy two equations. Camper students experienced folding back, delving into more profound layers, and gathering deeper layers to ensure their work's accuracy.

Child abuse and kinship guardianship: social work and indigenization perspectives in Indonesia

Indigenization was an essential issue in social work; however, it was hardly explored in previous studies on child abuse related to kinship guardianship. This article aimed to describe the assessment of eligibility of the alternative caregiver and examine the intervention for the permanency plan of the abused child. The abused child was removed from Western culture to his grandfather living in the Eastern context. This study employed a qualitative approach with seventeen participants. Data-gathering techniques included document search, in-depth interviews, observation, and drawing analysis. The assessment of the eligibility of the grandfather that applied systems theory and indigenization showed that the grandfather was eligible as the alternative caregiver. At the intervention phase, an emphasis on indigenization led to guardianship -not adoption- as an option for the child's best interest. The implications for social work practice and education were that indigenization should be given more space, especially in multicultural societies; when alternative care is required, Indonesian and African social workers should encourage the kinship form, considering strong community ties as the social capital; future research should focus on indigenization in permanency plan for abused disabled children.
