Validation and clinical application of the hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia-specific quality of life scale.

Modern-type depression (MTD) has emerged as a distinct psychopathological construct in the context of 21st-century societal, technological, and cultural transformations in Japan. First described by Tarumi and then refined by Kato et al. , it has since been recognized internationally. MTD diverges from classical melancholic depression in aetiology, phenomenology, and therapeutic response. It is especially prevalent among adolescents and young adults exposed to accelerated social rhythms, digital hyperconnectivity, and precarious work and relational structures. Clinically, MTD is characterized by avoidance of social roles, heightened sensitivity to interpersonal conflict, externalized complaints, emotional withdrawal, and tension between authentic and idealized selves. Unlike traditional depression, pharmacological treatments often yield limited benefit or worsen symptoms, underscoring the need for psychosocial and community-based interventions. Promising approaches include interpersonal counselling, psychoeducation, stress management, cognitive-behavioural therapy, physical activity, and neuromodulation techniques such as transcranial direct current stimulation. The advent of MTD highlights how socio-cultural acceleration and technological mediation shape mental health, exposing the limitations of conventional diagnostic frameworks. It also provides a valuable opportunity to investigate how social change influences psychopathology and to design culturally sensitive, developmentally informed strategies for prevention and treatment in younger populations.

The work presents the educational contributions to the prevention of metabolic syndrome in the Education program. Biology. Actions are examined that, from the degree training, can be implemented from the different disciplines that are studied in the degree, for this a review of the scientific literature that is related to the topic and that has been published in the last five years was carried out. years. The review made it possible to recommend different educational content activities aimed at prevention and that, in light of the social role of the professional in training, for whom the proposal is directed, focuses on the impact that future Biology teachers should exercise in their teaching work. in Basic Secondary School. The frank exchange with students on the basis of experiential contributions, which emanate, to a large extent, from their interpersonal relationships is present in an important part of the interventions proposed. Although undergraduate educational activity offers ample potential to induce various coping actions based on the referential knowledge of the traits that manifest in metabolic syndrome, it is no less true that a motivation inducing the active search for knowledge, on the part of students, for the purposes of inducing and strengthening appropriate attitudes of self-care of health with a preventive nature and that at the same time radiates towards their contexts of family and professional action.

ABSTRACT The current study investigated early gender differences in mental rotation and navigation and the mediating role of parental gender socialization in these two types of spatial skills. A total of 129 Chinese children aged between 4 and 6 were tested in Chongqing using a mental rotation task and a wayfinding task. Their parents’ gender socialization was operationalized as attitudes toward gender-stereotyped toys. The t-test suggested a significant male advantage in navigation, yet no significant gender differences were found in mental rotation. Meanwhile, the mediation model revealed that parents’ attitudes toward masculine toys had a mediating effect between gender and the performance of wayfinding tasks. Girls’ parents held a more negative attitude than boys’ parents toward their children playing with masculine toys, which accounted for girls’ worse performance in the task. The findings extend the current literature by exploring gender differences in navigation in early childhood and highlight the effect of parenthood on the development of spatial skills. Moreover, the current study also sheds light on the effect of family settings and culture on spatial skills.

Mental health disparities are increasingly shaped by intersecting demographic and socioeconomic conditions. Anchored in the Social Determinants of Health framework, this study investigates variations in mental well-being among adults in Abu Dhabi using data from the 5th Cycle of the Abu Dhabi Quality of Life Survey (2023-2024), which included over 100,000 respondents. Drawing on a subset of 65,203 adults, we analysed key mental health indicators-such as sadness, anxiety, loneliness, fear, difficulty concentrating, and boredom-across population groups using descriptive statistics and ANOVA. The findings reveal statistically significant disparities by age, gender, nationality, education level, household head status, and employment sector. Notably, youth aged 15-29 reported the highest emotional stress, while females and non-Emiratis exhibited higher negative mental health indicators compared to their counterparts. Non-heads of households and private-sector employees also displayed elevated distress levels, reflecting structural vulnerabilities in occupational and social roles. These results underscore the multidimensional nature of mental health and the influence of systemic inequalities on psychological well-being. The study offers timely, locally grounded evidence to inform targeted mental health interventions and inclusive policy development in Abu Dhabi's rapidly evolving sociocultural landscape.

Background: Schools play a central role in child development and socialization and can function as protective environments that mitigate the effects of adversity. Building on the Social Ecological Model and Community School Transformation, we propose a “Schools-as-Neighborhoods” framework that conceptualizes schools as intentionally designed microenvironments capable of generating social capital, promoting positive childhood experiences, and buffering harmful neighborhood exposures through trauma-informed programming. Methods: We conducted a convergent mixed-methods study across four public and charter schools in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, serving grades five through nine. STRYV365’s peak team and Brain Agents gamified intervention were implemented between 2022–2024. Quantitative surveys and qualitative data assessed students’ lived experiences, exposure to adversity, emotional awareness, coping skills, and school connectedness/climate across multiple waves. Results: Across the four schools (n = 1626 students), baseline academic proficiency was low, and exposure to adversity was high among surveyed participants (n = 321), including bereavement (74%) and family incarceration (56%). Despite these challenges, qualitative findings revealed strengthened emotional regulation, empathy, motivation, and goal setting among students engaged in trauma-informed programming. Teachers reported improved peer interaction and community building during sustained implementation. Conclusion: The Schools-as-Neighborhoods framework highlights the value of trauma-informed, relationship-centered school environments in promoting student well-being. By positioning schools as cohesive ecosystems that foster belonging and cultivate social capital, this approach offers educators and policymakers a pathway for mitigating the effects of hostile lived environments and supporting students’ mental health, social development, and engagement in learning.

Standards have evolved from technical documents defining specifications to instruments ensuring quality and regulatory compliance. Following World War II, the establishment of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) marked a transition from national and regional systems toward a globally integrated standardization framework. While early international standardization activities were led primarily by national representatives, the expansion of standards’ social and economic roles has transformed governance into a complex ecosystem involving industry, academia, and civil society. In the era of digital transformation, international standardization governance is once again undergoing a fundamental shift. Applying the dynamic capabilities theory, this study analyzes the adaptive mechanisms of international standardization organizations and derives policy implications from the Korean experience. Through an analysis of official documents from ISO, IEC, and ITU, as well as Korean policy papers and participatory observation records, the study finds that digital transformation enhances the openness, agility, and transparency of governance, while simultaneously generating challenges such as power concentration and participation imbalance. The study contributes academically by interpreting the institutional adaptation processes of international standardization governance through the lens of dynamic capabilities, and offers policy insights that redefine Korea’s governance priorities toward institutionalization, strengthened public–private collaboration, diversified participation, and capacity building.

Family planning is essential for fertility management in Indonesia, where population increase is still a multifaceted problem. Using data from 2017 Indonesian Health Survey (IDHS), this study examines the perceptions that influence couples to choose sterilization contraception due to its low adoption rate and female domination. The design was cross-sectional with a sample of 8,344 couples of reproductive age. Analysis was conducted univariate, bivariate, and multivariate the using logistic regression. The results showed that only 3.8% of PUS used sterilization, with a significant gender disparity (female: 4.5%; male: 0.1%). The perception was found to be significantly associated (OR Model 3 = 2.14; 95% CI: 1.555-2.956). This study demonstrates how male participation in sterilization is hampered by social norms and traditional gender roles, including the belief that contraception is a woman's responsibility. Sterilization adoption rates could be balanced and increased male participation in family planning encouraged by promoting gender equality through education and focused campaigns.

This paper has provided an overview over the Viking Age burials containing textile- and cooking equipment, such as spindlewhorls, woolcombs, weaver`s baton, frying pans and loom weights in combination with weapons. Specifically, from Western Norway and the former county of Sogn og Fjordane, which is characterized by deep fjords and steep mountains and the fact that the burials generally contain a higher number of textile- and cooking equipment, a counterpart to the East Norwegian material. It is this combination of artefacts in single burials that challenge our traditional idea of identity and gender-divided activities in the Late Iron Age. My interpretation of these burials is that these untraditional or deviant burials are key to understanding complex identities during the Viking Age, specifically in Western Norway. On the basis of a composite and intersectional understanding of identity, I address the local tradition within Sogn og Fjordane in terms of local burial traditions. I suggest that the individuals from the Late Iron Age in Western Norway who was buried with textile- and cooking equipment combined with weapons can be viewed as giants of identity, because they potentially show a more complex identity than previously thought and had a wealth of social roles.

This study aims to explore the practice of learning to read Arabic texts in the book Iḥyā Ulum ad-Dīn, which then identifies the social role patterns formed within it, and analyzes the principles of andragogy in adult education as reflected through the Anjangsana forum. This study uses an ethnographic approach following a 12-stage developmental research. Data were collected through participant observation during 24 meetings, in-depth interviews with 20 informants, and documentation in the form of recordings, texts from various print media, and digital communication archives. The results indicate that the practice of learning to read Arabic texts during the visit of Iḥyā’ ‘Ulūm ad-Dīn took place through collective sorogan reading by middle-aged and elderly congregants, interpretation of nahwu-ṣarfiyah with typical Islamic symbols, provision of murod in local languages, interactive discussions, and verification of textual variations across printed editions. Learning through the Anjangsana forum exhibits transformative characteristics that can be understood as a form of community of practice. This study offers an alternative, participatory, inclusive, and reflective learning process rooted in local tradition, combining linguistic, spiritual, and socio-religious dimensions.

ABSTRACT Teachers’ professional vision (PV) is critical for their ability to interpret and respond to classroom dynamics effectively. However, developing PV remains challenging, particularly when dealing with the complexity of real-life teaching scenarios. This study investigated how PV can be cultivated through Visualization-Supported Teacher Training (VSTT) by engaging 22 primary and secondary school teachers in a five-week training program in southwestern China. Employing network analysis techniques, this study uncovered teachers’ distinct social roles within VSTT and their influence on PV. The VSTT identified active, influencer, mediator, and peripheral teacher roles, showing a collective dedication to pedagogy with varied PV development. Influencer teachers excelled with a broad focus and strong reasoning, while peripheral teachers engaged less in reasoning. This study provides innovative insights into the development of VSTT and individualized teacher training.

This study examines how patriarchal authority is linguistically constructed and contested across media coverage and courtroom registers in sexual violence cases. Using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Halliday’s transitivity framework, the researcher analyses 784 clauses from 25 online news articles and one courtroom case adjudicated at the Praya District Court in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. News reports were selected through purposive sampling, focusing on cases where perpetrators were socially significant figures such as father, lecture, and religious leader. AntConc software generated frequency and concordance lists, which were qualitatively coded in ATLAS.ti to identity patterns of agency, responsibility, and identity representation. Findings reveal that media discourse is dominated by material processes (70%), foregrounding acts of abuse and institutional responses, while relational processes assign social roles that frame cases within patriarchal and hierarchies. Courtroom discourse is characterized by relational, verbal, and mental processes, where defendant deploy relational clauses and conditional threats to normalize coercion, mask abuse as paternal care, and silence resistance. This study introduces the concept of discursive paternalism to explain how paternal identity functions as a linguistic resource that reframes coercion as moral duty. By connecting media framing and courtroom registers, the analysis demonstrates that justice is discursively produced across interconnected arena, with media narratives priming societal expectations and courtroom language either reinforcing or challenging them

In this paper, we present a genre study through the prism of Corpus Linguistics, specifically through the analysis of a corpus of journalistic opinion articles, authored by the writer Alejandro Borensztein, published in the Sunday column entitled Humor Político, in the Argentine newspaper Clarín. Our aims are to identify, analyse, and describe lexicogrammatical elements that point to the establishment of political humor as a genre, from an empirical-exploratory analysis of the corpus of study, by means of tools, techniques, and resources characteristic of research in written textual corpora. We resorted to the theoretical basis of Systemic-Functional Linguistics, regarding language as social semiotics (Halliday 1978) and the specific semiotic functions of the text, with social value in culture, in other words, the genres in relation to life in society. Based on keyword extraction and concordance lines analysis, we observe contextualized occurrences. The results point to different lexicogrammatical choices, confirming the persuasive social role of the discourses that emerge from the corpus, in which a critical point of view of the political-economic situation is carried out.

This study analyses the social dynamics of transmigrant communities in South Konawe Regency within the context of multicultural rural development. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach with purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected through documentation and literature studies using official local government reports, transmigration documents, and relevant academic sources. Data analysis was conducted using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, encompassing data collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the social dynamics of transmigrant communities develop through long-term interactions with local communities and are spatially structured into two main transmigration development areas, namely the Kolono Area and the Tinanggea Area. The analysis is based on Soekanto’s (1990) framework, which includes changes in social structure, changes in social norms, and the intensity of social conflict. Changes in social structure are reflected in the expansion of transmigrants’ social roles within agricultural activities and village institutions, as well as the transformation of transmigration settlement units into definitive villages. Changes in social norms are characterized by the strengthening of shared values such as mutual cooperation, deliberation, and tolerance. Meanwhile, social conflict is predominantly related to land tenure issues of a structural-administrative nature; however, its intensity remains relatively low due to resolution through dialogue, mediation, and institutional mechanisms. These findings demonstrate that transmigration contributes positively to rural social integration and the stability of multicultural communities in South Konawe Regency.

ABSTRACT Christian nationalism and Christofascism theorists have surrendered the discursive floor to their empiricist critics. A flurry of recent research has asserted that critical paradigms within the sociology of religion are ideologically committed and empirically invalid. In this reply to Jesse Smith's “Old Wine in New Wineskins” (2024), I contend several things: (1) Christian nationalism and Christofascism research is based in empirical validity, (2) claims of “conceptual slippage” are irrelevant given the sociopolitical context, (3) rejection of the critical perspective reifies the unjust power structure through a normative appeal to rational‐legal scientific authority, and (4) critical epistemology in the sociology of religion remains a crucial tool in combating authoritarian slippage. It is my hope that this reply sparks further reflection and debate on the role of sociology and the nature of sociological praxis.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between perceived social support and gender role attitudes in pregnant women. Methods: A descriptive-correlational study was conducted with 207 pregnant women living in the Central Anatolia Region between November and December 2024. Data were collected online using the Personal Information Form, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and the Gender Role Attitudes Scale (GRAS). Statistical analysis included independent t-tests, ANOVA, and regression analysis. Results: Pregnant women demonstrated high levels of perceived social support but less egalitarian gender role attitudes. Significant associations were found between MSPSS and GRAS scores with factors such as educational level, perceived income, and number of pregnancies. However, no significant relationship was found between MSPSS and GRAS scores. Conclusion: Pregnant women reported high perceived social support but less egalitarian gender role attitudes, with no significant relationship between the two. It is recommended that pregnancy support programs include educational and awareness components to strengthen social support and promote gender equality.

The objective of this study is to ascertain the sustainability of tomato farming in Sidamangura Village, Kusambi District, West Muna Regency. The present study was based on the information provided by 58 tomato farmers residing in Sidamangura Village. The informants were selected deliberately, resulting in a total of six informants. The data were collected using a combination of methods, including observation, documentation, and in-depth interviews with interview guides. The focal point of this study was the sustainability of tomato farming. The subsequent analysis of the data was conducted using qualitative analysis methods. The findings indicated that tomato farming in Sidamangura Village possesses the capacity to persist, despite the presence of variations across various dimensions. In the ecological dimension, sustainability is indicated by the low potential for pests and diseases and the use of fertilizers. However, the use of pesticides is a hindering factor. In the economic dimension, sustainability is supported by income and market access, while production factors continue to encounter challenges. Concurrently, within the social dimension, sustainability is bolstered by factors such as the level of education, the productive age of farmers, and the involvement of families. The sustainability of farming is influenced by ecological and economic factors, as well as the social role of farming families. The sustainability of tomato farming in rural areas is contingent upon a number of social factors, with particular emphasis on the role of family participation.

Alongside increases in life expectancy, grandparenting has become a common social role; however, its implications for cognitive, social, and physical functioning remain understudied. Participants (N = 1,002) aged 66-79 in the St Louis Personality and Intergenerational Network (SPIN) study completed questionnaires about physical health, health practices, loneliness, and subjective memory and indicated whether they were grandparents. Grandparents (n = 533) also answered questions about involvement with their grandchildren. There were minimal differences in the well-being of grandparents and non-grandparents. Among grandparents, however, those who were relatively more engaged socially and emotionally with their grandchildren reported lower levels of loneliness, more engagement in healthful behaviors, and better subjective memory. Grandparents who reported providing relatively high levels of both instrumental support and socioemotional engagement reported better overall physical health-related quality of life. Findings provide preliminary evidence that social and emotional ties to grandchildren are associated with better physical and cognitive health among grandparents.

Tabekh cloth is one of the traditional cultural artifacts used in various social rituals among the community of Teladan Baru Village, Rundeng District, Subulussalam City. Although its use continues to this day, the interpretation of the symbols and colors embedded in the tabekh cloth has experienced fading and shifting, and in some cases has become disconnected from the understanding of the community that sustains the tradition. This study aims to examine the symbolic meanings of the tabekh cloth through the semiotic approach of Charles Sanders Peirce, in order to explore the relationship between symbolic forms, referential meanings, and interpretive processes within the local cultural context. The findings indicate that the colors of the tabekh cloth carry symbolic meanings that represent social structures and cultural roles within the community of Teladan Baru Village. However, several decorative symbols on the tabekh cloth are no longer understood in terms of their meanings and function merely as visual ornaments without consciously recognized cultural significance. These findings underscore a disconnection between customary practices and symbolic interpretation, which has implications for the weakening of intergenerational transmission of cultural values.

Current approaches to human-AI interaction often rely on anthropomorphic mimicry, risking ethical miscalibration and relational confusion. We propose a socioaffective framework for structuring human-AI relationships that prioritizes role-based integration, relational clarity, and adaptive trust calibration. Grounded in a family unit model, this framework enables AI systems to engage in ethical reasoning, emotional responsiveness, and context-sensitive prioritization without requiring human-like mimicry. We introduce the Contextual Overlay for Responsiveness and Adaptation (CORA) simulation architecture, which operationalizes this approach through dynamic valence parsing, adaptive prioritization, and fairness-preserving moral reasoning. Simulation results demonstrate CORA’s capacity to maintain relational coherence and ethical stability under complex emotional and logistical strain. This work offers a structural alternative to anthropomorphic design, advancing the development of AI systems capable of participating in meaningful social roles while preserving ethical transparency and trust calibration in human-AI interaction.
