Law Enforcement in Cases of Maltreatment of Minors According to Positive Law and Islamic Law Case Study of Decision Number 4/Pid.Sus/2022/Pn Tte, Decision Number 39/Pid.Sus-Anak/2021/Pn Mks, and Decision Number 12/Pid.Sus/2022/Pn Soe

Law enforcement against child abuse crimes in Indonesia still faces various challenges, although the Child Protection Law has provided a strong legal basis. This study aims to analyze the application of law in cases of child abuse based on positive law and Islamic law, and to assess the influence of social and cultural factors that influence the law enforcement process. The research method used is a normative approach with a literature study, in which three court decisions are analyzed as case studies, namely Decision Number 4 / Pid.Sus / 2022 / PN Tte, Decision Number 39 / Pid.Sus-Anak / 2021 / PN Mks, and Decision Number 12 / Pid.Sus / 2022 / PN Soe. The results of the study show variations in the application of sanctions, especially in cases involving child perpetrators and the influence of a culture that is permissive of violence. These factors show inconsistencies in law enforcement that can impact public perceptions of justice. Islamic law offers an alternative approach through the concept of restorative justice, which emphasizes victim recovery and perpetrator rehabilitation, and has the potential to be integrated into the national legal system to strengthen the effectiveness of child protection. This study recommends improving rehabilitation programs for child perpetrators, educating the public to change permissive attitudes towards child abuse, and adopting Islamic legal principles that are oriented towards recovery in the national legal system. These recommendations are expected to strengthen legal protection for children in Indonesia and support the creation of a legal system that is more just and responsive to the rights of children as victims of violence

A mosaic of medicine: Acquainting pharmacy education with the rich tapestry of African-descent immigrant cultures.

There is an increasing number of African-descent immigrants to the United States, often from the Caribbean, South America, and Africa. These immigrants tend to have different healthcare needs than native-born Black Americans because they come from diverse backgrounds with unique cultural health practices and beliefs. While these immigrants may be healthier when they initially present to the United States, research has found that this health advantage is not long-lasting. Acculturation, cultural beliefs, systemic, and social factors have been closely linked to the health and well-being of Black immigrants, especially with increased years of residency in the United States. Culturally competent care involves understanding the influence of culture, ethnicity, and social factors on health. It is crucial that student pharmacists are trained in understanding the cultural considerations of our continuously evolving and diverse patients. While pharmacy schools have begun incorporating cultural competency and implicit bias training in PharmD curricula, there is still room for improvement to bring about meaningful change in health outcomes. This review calls for an end to oversimplified views of Black immigrant health, advocates for better recognition of distinct African-descent cultures, and recommends tools and strategies to incorporate this population into multicultural pharmacy education.

The influence of sociodemographic and health factors on adherence to home-based rehabilitation after fast-track total knee arthroplasty: secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial

Purpose Adherence to home rehabilitation following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is essential to reach optimal functional outcomes, especially in fast-track procedures. The aim of this study is to identify which sociodemographic and health factors significantly affect adherence in this context. Methods This is a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial with 52 patients. Adherence was measured as the percentage of completed exercises. Two statistical analyses were performed, one on the entire population and another on the telerehabilitation group only, to study which factors significantly affects adherence. Results The analysis included the 42 patients with adherence data (23 TRH, 19 control). In Analysis I (n = 42), six variables were statistically significant: history of depression (p = 0.00026), educational level (p = 0.00151), social support (p = 0.00157), treatment group (p = 0.0081), history of diabetes (p = 0.01153), and ASA score (p = 0.02752). In Analysis II (TRH, n = 23), three variables were significant: history of depression (p = 0.003), educational level (p = 0.006), and history of hypertension (p = 0.047). Conclusion There are sociodemographic and health factors affecting adherence to home rehabilitation post-TKA. Depression stands out as a negative factor, while high educational level and social support improve adherence. Telerehabilitation has positive effects and reduces the influence of social and economic factors.

The population of Karabakh in the and XIX early XX centuries (based on statistical sources)

This article examines the changes in the ethnic composition of the population of the Karabakh region from the beginning of the 19th to the beginning of the 20th century. The resettlement policy implemented by the Russian Empire, the mass resettlement of Armenians to the region after the Turkmenchay and Edirne treaties, as well as the influence of social and economic factors, have led to significant changes in the demographic landscape of Karabakh. The article is based on historical documents and statistical data and sheds light on the impact of these changes on the political and social development of the region.

Understanding excess mortality during COVID in Belgium: the influence of pre-existing health status and social factors

BackgroundThis study aims to investigate how pre-existing health status and social background contribute to excess mortality during the COVID-19 crisis in Belgium.MethodsThe study population consists of almost 1.4 million adult members of Solidaris, the second largest health insurance fund in Belgium. Pre-existing health status was identified using health care reimbursement data, including medication use. Social characteristics included a proxy for low socio-economic status, nationality of origin, and living arrangement. Excess mortality during the COVID-19 crisis was measured by computing the relative difference between all-cause mortality in 2020 or 2021 and the average yearly mortality in 2015–2019. Directly Standardised Mortality Rates (DSMRs) were calculated to investigate absolute mortality inequalities. Mortality Rate Ratios (MRRs) were computed using Poisson regression analyses to investigate relative mortality inequalities.ResultsDSMRs show that persons with no previous disease experienced significant excess mortality in 2020, like men with one, two or three diseases and women with various numbers of pre-existing diseases. Results by specific disease show heterogenous results. After adjusting for age, sex and social characteristics, persons with cancer experienced a significant mortality deficit of 17% in 2020 and of 9% in 2021. For persons with cancer and asthma or COPD, significant mortality deficits of 10% and 3% were observed in 2020 and 2021, respectively.ConclusionThe study provides insights into the complex dynamics of mortality during the COVID-19 crisis, emphasising the need to consider individual-level information on pre-existing health and social background jointly.

Associations between physical activity, infrastructure parameters of the area of residence, and modifiable cardiovascular risk factors

The purpose of the research is to study the relationship among physical activity, infrastructure parameters of the area of residence, and modifiable cardiovascular risk factors in the population of the Kemerovo Region. Design and methods. The study started at the Research Institute for Complex Issues of Cardiovascular Diseases (Kemerovo) in 2015 and continues to this day. It includes 1,598 residents aged 35–70 as part of the epidemiological work “Study of the influence of social factors on chronic non-communicable diseases.” The researchers measure the participants’ physical activity using the Russian-language version of the international IPAQ questionnaire and assess the subjective attitude of citizens to the infrastructure parameters using the NEWS questionnaire. The study establishes associations between the participants’ physical activity, mediated by their subjective attitude towards the infrastructure parameters, and modifiable cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension, obesity, abdominal obesity, and lipid and carbohydrate metabolism disorders. Results. The present study demonstrates a direct impact of the infrastructure parameters from the NEWS scales on the reduction in the participants’ physical activity: B (accessibility of infrastructure facilities) [OR = 1,51]; D (pedestrian accessibility) [OR = 1,52]; E (environment in the vicinity) [OR = 1,55]; H (satisfaction with living conditions) [OR = 1,37]. In the group of individuals with low physical activity, characteristics of the area of residence combined into scales B [OR = 1,44], D [OR = 1,43], and F [OR = 1,30] were associated with hypertension; B [OR = 1,42] and [OR = 1,53], C [OR = 1,39] and [OR = 1,37], D [OR = 1,43] and [OR = 1,32] respectively — with obesity and its abdominal type; B [OR = 1,65] and D [OR = 1,41] — with dyslipidemia. Conclusions. The formed sample of the Kemerovo Region associates an increase in cardiovascular risk factors with the low physical activity of the population and its subjective attitude to the social characteristics (infrastructure parameters) of the area of residence.

Cross-National Survey About Nutrition and Nutrition Communication Among Older Adults Aged 60 Years and Above.

Background/Objectives: The global population is undergoing a significant demographic shift characterised by an increasing proportion of older individuals. Healthy aging has become a priority for personal well-being and sustainable healthcare systems, with nutrition playing a pivotal role. However, the rise in non-communicable diseases (NCDs), malnutrition, and a shift in eating behaviour underscore the need for tailored, effective nutrition communication strategies. This research is intended to provide the basic data needed to support the development of tailored nutritional communication strategies and practices. Methods: To investigate these aspects, a cross-national survey about nutrition and nutrition communication was conducted within the framework of the Innovative Training Network SmartAge, focusing on older adults aged 60 years and above in Germany, Switzerland, Spain, and France (each 25%; N = 1000 persons). This paper specifically focuses on the development, methodology, and discussion of the survey and aims to investigate the characteristics of the sample in relation to their dietary patterns and food choices within the European context. Results: The analysis identified significant associations between various plant- and animal-based food items and the variables gender, age group, and country. Spanish participants showed a dietary pattern towards the Mediterranean Diet, while German participants showed tendencies towards the Western Diet. Furthermore, the findings revealed that protein-rich foods such as meat, fish, nuts and seeds, legumes, and (whole) grains were infrequently consumed, particularly among German and Swiss participants. Conclusions: This study highlights the need to promote adequate protein intake among older adults, emphasising diverse sources like legumes, nuts and seeds, (whole) grains, and lean meats to support healthy aging. For the development of future nutrition communication strategies, the influence of the specific social, cultural, and traditional factors needs to be considered.

The influence of cultural, social, and historical factors on speech development is emphasized, alongside the interaction of language with mass media, the internet, and modern culture. The article highlights the importance of education in developing speech skills and fostering critical thinking. Technology is seen as a complement to traditional teaching methods, enhancing the effectiveness of the educational process. Ultimately, the Russian language is presented as a dynamic system that plays a key role in social and cultural life.

Research on coordination mechanism between agricultural green and land ecosystem in Yellow River Basin

The Yellow River Basin is China’s grain production base and ecological barrier, with an important strategic position. Therefore, it is of great significance to analyze spatiotemporal pattern of ecosystem services and agricultural green, and further exploring the driving mechanism of coordination using the GTWR model to examine how the Yellow River Basin’s agriculture evolve sustainably. The results indicate that: (1) In 2011–2021, the Yellow River Basin’s ecosystem service value showed a state of growth first and then decline, indicating that the decrease trend cannot be ignored; the Yellow River Basin has seen a steady rise in agricultural green level, with regional disparities progressively disappearing. (2) Although the Yellow River Basin’s agriculture and ecosystem has tended towards coordinated development, it was still in the primary stage of coordination; the tendency of downstream > midstream > upstream was seen in the notable geographical disparities, and the gap was continuously closing. (3) The harmonization of ecosystem service value and agricultural green development is driven by multiple factors. The influence of social factors has undergone a transition from negative influence to positive influence; economic factors generally had a positive impact, but there existed a certain amount of instability; the overall state of natural factors was relatively stable, with little change in areas with positive coefficients. In areas with negative coefficients, their negative effects gradually decreased and showed a trend towards positive development. In light of the finding above, some recommendations are put forth to promote sustainable agricultural production.

FACTORS PSYCHOSOCIAL INFLUENCE RETURN TO SPORT AFTER ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT RECONSTRUCTION

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a common intervention for sports injuries that significantly impacts athletes and their careers. Returning to sports after this surgery is challenging due to the influence of psychological and social factors. The objective of this study is to describe the psychosocial factors that interfere with the return to sports in athletes after ACL reconstruction (ACLR). A review of reviews was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Data sources included PubMed/MEDLINE and Virtual Health Library. Systematic reviews investigating specific psychosocial factors related to returning to sports after ACLR were included. Reviews addressing other knee procedures, studies with less than 9 months of follow-up, participants with a history of other ACLR surgeries, and reviews not exclusively focused on ACL injuries were excluded. Initially, 397 articles were identified. After applying eligibility criteria, 10 studies were included, involving 42,805 athletes from various sports. The main psychosocial factors influencing the return to sports after ACLR include fear of reinjury, lack of confidence, motivation, lifestyle changes, self-efficacy, depression, and psychological readiness. Most studies showed a moderate risk of bias. It is concluded that the psychosocial factors identified as influencing the return to sports after ACL reconstruction are highlighted by the importance of anxiety, confidence, resilience, motivation, and social and institutional support.

Factors influencing students' attitude toward to use mobile learning applications using SEM-ANN hybrid approach

Mobile learning application now is considered a powerful application for learning and was adopted in universities in the period of Covid-19. After Covid-19 pandemic, university students have been allowed to use mobile learning systems, it is needed to ensure students’ intention to continuously use mobile learning for their learning activities or not. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to understand the main determinants that encourage the continuous use of mobile learning. To achieve that, we used the UTAUT-2 model to predict the main determinants of mobile learning acceptance. In our study, a quantitative technique was employed to collect the data. A hybrid approach SEM-ANN was applied to validate the research model. The findings indicated that performance expectancy and effort expectancy had a strong effect on students' attitudes towards mobile learning platforms. In addition, the results showed that performance expectancy and effort expectancy have a significant impact on students' continuous intention to use mobile learning platforms after Covid-19. In addition, hedonic motivation and habit had a positive effect on both students' attitudes and continuous intention to use mobile learning platforms. Moreover, Social influence factor and facilitating conditions had a significant effect on students' continuous intention to use mobile learning platforms after Covid-19.

The Impact of Being Present During Resuscitation on Family Members: A Scoping Review Protocol.

Family members of patients who are undergoing resuscitation may experience complex psychological challenges, including anxiety, depression, or posttraumatic stress symptoms. Although several studies have identified positive experiences of family members who were given the option to be present during their loved one's resuscitation, the actual impact of family presence during resuscitation on family members remains elusive and needs to be explored comprehensively. This review aims to identify the impact of being present during the resuscitation event of adult patients in in-hospital settings on family members. The proposed review will utilize the JBI methodology for scoping reviews. This review will include literature from all study designs that are published in English with no date restrictions. The inclusion criteria include studies evaluating the impact on family members after witnessing the resuscitation of a loved one or being present at the hospital during the event. This review will include studies conducted in intrahospital settings, including emergency departments, critical care units, and in-hospital wards. This study will also emphasize the influences of social, cultural, and spiritual factors on FPDR practices. A systematic search will be conducted across five databases and gray literature. These include PubMed, CINAHL (EBSCO), Embase, Emcare, and PsycINFO, ProQuest Database, Open Access Theses and Dissertations, and Google Scholar. Two independent reviewers will screen titles and abstracts and assess the full text of selected articles against inclusion criteria. Discussion with all reviewer team members will be held when disagreements arise between the reviewers at each review stage. Data will be analysed and presented according to The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Review. This scoping review protocol was registered with Open Science Framework (https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/U6AW8).

부동산 뉴스로 인한 심리적인지 요인이 전세가격에 미치는 영향 - 인천광역시 연립다세대 주택을 중심으로

Recently, various factors such as interest rate hikes, inflation, and economic slowdowns in the real estate market have had a significant impact on the overall real estate market, including jeonse prices. In particular, real estate news and media have a substantial impact on public opinion formation and market sentiment. This study analyzed the impact of psychological cognitive factors on jeonse prices by dividing jeonse prices into rising and falling periods using real estate news from January 2019 to March 2024 for multi-family houses in Incheon Metropolitan City. The physical characteristics of the house, such as exclusive area, floor, and years of use, had a significant impact on jeonse prices. Among psychological cognitive factors, negative events such as ‘arrest’ or ‘police’ were factors that decreased jeonse prices, while ‘region’ and ‘rent’ were factors that increased jeonse prices, but the statistical significance was low. In particular, jeonse prices are sensitive to supply and demand factors in the market, and psychological cognitive factors play an important role. Therefore, it was confirmed that an approach that considers market characteristics and is consistent with news or public opinion trends is necessary to stabilize the jeonse market. Lastly, it is academically significant in that it quantifies and analyzes the influence of social and psychological factors rather than physical and economic factors, thereby emphasizing the importance of psychological cognitive factors and practically exploring the influence of actual social issues and changes in public opinion on the rental market.

Спрос, закон спроса, эффекты Гиффена и Веблена. Часть 2. Нефункциональный спрос и загадки спроса

The present work is a brief review of domestic educational and scientific literature upon the issues of non-functional (according to Leibenstein’s classification) demand. To take into account the influence of social factors, the concept of conspicuous consumption by T. Veblen is used. Attention is paid to inaccurate and controversial statements found in literature, as well as to cases of incorrect interpretation of some types of non-functional demand formed under the influence of social determinants. First of all, this refers to the practice of incorrectly interpreting the Veblen effect as an exception to the law of demand and conspicuous consumption as irrational behavior. A number of recent studies convincingly indicate that conspicuous consumption is capable of exerting a favorable psychological effect on the individual who exhibits it, thereby contributing to an increase in their level of well-being. Using the example of the dissertation services market, it is shown that buyers of custom dissertations who often experience amazing “psychological metamorphoses” subsequently receive the opportunity to successfully convert the acquired symbolic capital into certain privileges. The mathematical model of the Veblen effect proposed in the article allows asserting that the Veblen effect may as well manifest itself as a result of the rational choice of the consumer who may be an individual with any level of income, except for the lowest, completely excluding the possibility of any choice of consumed goods. It is shown that in some cases, to explain the dynamics of demand for a particular good, it is sufficient to take into account the “competition” of the Veblen, price, bandwagon, and snob effects without any reference to paradoxes or exceptions to the law of demand. Along with this, examples of consumer behavior and demand are given, for the interpretation of which Leibenstein’s classification is insufficient.

Help-Seeking and Disclosure in University Students with Suicidal Thoughts and Self-Harm: A Systematic Review

AbstractSuicide is a serious problem among university students. As suicidal thoughts and self-harm are predictive of completed suicide, students experiencing these problems would benefit from seeking support. This systematic review synthesised research on help-seeking in university students with suicidal thoughts and self-harm, including rates, sources, and associated factors. Searches were conducted in Medline, PsychINFO, and ERIC (inception to 10/11/2023) and grey literature databases PsycEXTRA and BASE (inception to 23/12/2023) for population-based epidemiological or qualitative studies. Findings were narratively synthesised. Twenty-two studies using 16 unique datasets were included. Most studies were US-based. Over half of the students with suicidal thoughts and self-harm did not seek or receive help for their mental health while at university, with lower rates in men and ethnic minority groups. Demographic, social and service-use influencing factors were identified. The low rates of help-seeking identified in this at-risk group highlight the need for research into interventions to improve help-seeking as part of suicide prevention efforts.

Trends in gender role attitudes and gender awareness among Generation Z college students in China

In the current context of multicultural collision, online information is impacting traditional gender values. To analyze the changes in gender role attitudes and gender awareness among Chinese Generation Z college students under the influence of various social factors, the study focuses on Generation Z college students and explores the impact of cultural, media, educational, and family factors on gender role attitudes and gender awareness among Chinese Generation Z college students through questionnaire surveys and quantitative analysis methods. The research results show that Generation Z college students exhibit extremely favorable gender perspectives, with the proportion of bisexual gender roles approaching 38%, surpassing the number of students with traditional understanding of single sex gender roles. At the same time, in school gender awareness education, research has found that the proportion of bisexual gender roles is the highest among students who accept open mindedness, at 46.6%. In family gender awareness education, students who receive parental gender awareness sharing education have the highest proportion of bisexual gender roles, accounting for 48.5%. Therefore, the current gender education for the new Generation of students in China needs to abandon traditional avoidance-based teaching methods and adopt an open and supportive attitude to guide students’ gender values.

Influence of ecological and social factors on huddling behaviour and cluster organisation in Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata).

Huddling behaviour is present in many animal species. This behaviour involves maintaining close physical contact with conspecifics to minimise heat loss and, in general, reduce energy expenditure. Additionally, this behaviour also facilitates complex social interactions within a population. In Japanese macaques, this behaviour is observed in many populations across Japan, including Shodoshima, where huddling clusters can reach up to 100 individuals in winter. Based on several studies on this species, it appears that huddling, or sarudango in Japanese, is influenced by both meteorological factors and social relationships between individuals. The objective of this study is to understand the determinants that drive the expression (presence or absence) and the organisation (number of individuals and identities) of huddling clusters. Two hypotheses were formulated. The first hypothesis posits that the formation and variations in the size and number of clusters are influenced by meteorological factors, while the second hypothesis suggests that the number and position of individuals within a cluster are related to existing relationships between individuals. To test these, data on the number, size, and individuals composing a cluster were collected, allowing building huddling social networks. Simultaneously, meteorological measurements were taken, along with observations on dominance and grooming interactions between individuals. This allowed us to create several statistical models and social networks for comparison. Our results suggest that the probability for observing huddling is mainly related to solar radiation energy, while variations in number and size could be explained by temperature. Moreover, the organisation within a cluster is not random but reflects relationships between individuals. The ones sharing more grooming and having similar dominance ranks have more probabilities to be in the same huddling cluster.

Study on the Causes and Effects of Appearance Anxiety among Women in East Asia

The continuous exchange and integration of Eastern and Western cultures has caused East Asian women to have the problem of appearance anxiety. In recent years, with the development of information technology, this phenomenon has become more and more serious. This paper focuses on this phenomenon and analyzes the influence of social, cultural, and personal factors on appearance anxiety in East Asian women. Appearance anxiety is mainly manifested in appearance, figure, psychology, etc. This paper argues that cultural exchange is one of the causes of anxiety among women. The spread of culture expands the definition of beauty, but at the same time, it also reinforces women's cultural preference for appearance. In addition, the development of pop culture has caused women to pursue the ultimate beauty, which creates anxiety. Finally, the development of the Internet has led to the proliferation of relevant information, deepening the influence of East Asian women on this idea. Based on this, this paper argues that it is necessary to fully understand women's psychology and concepts to better serve them. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to practical research and give full play to the positive role of online platforms.

Review and Analysis of XAI Methods for Addressing Geoecological Zoning and Public Health Prevention Challenges

This study focuses on the application of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) in geoecological zoning tasks to support sustainable development and public health prevention. Amid increasing anthropogenic pressures on ecosystems and rising disease rates due to environmental degradation, emphasis is placed on early risk detection methods. The study highlights the importance of XAI in analyzing ecological data to mitigate the impacts of adverse factors on population health. Integrating XAI with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) not only provides high accuracy in geoecological forecasting but also enhances the transparency of these forecasts for experts, aiding informed decision-making in the fields of geoecology and healthcare. Special attention is given to early diagnosis of health risks, such as respiratory and oncological diseases, through the use of XAI in analyzing environmental data and medical images. Explainable AI enhances the transparency and understandability of diagnostic processes for medical professionals, fostering trust in analytical outcomes. Implementing XAI in healthcare can not only improve diagnostic accuracy but also optimize healthcare resources by reallocating them toward disease prevention. A review of existing decision support systems (DSS) demonstrates the efficacy of hybrid models combining neural networks and fuzzy logic to enhance the precision and interpretability of medical forecasts. These models open new prospects for personalized medicine, improving preventive strategies and providing individual recommendations based on comprehensive analyses of environmental and medical data. A critical aspect of the study is territorial zoning aimed at managing environmental risks and disease prevention. This approach not only reduces the burden on healthcare systems but also promotes sustainable territorial development, taking into account the influence of environmental and social factors on population health.
