PENDAMPINGAN LANSIA DI PANTI JOMPO ADINDA MULIA BAHAGIA

Many nursing home residents are individuals who have been abandoned by their families for various reasons, including financial difficulties, Family problems, or, worst of all, the ignorance of family members to give caregiving responsibilities. Consequently, these families often transfer the care of their elderly relatives to institutions like the Adinda Mulia Bahagia Foundation Nursing Homes, where residents may spend their remaining years without regular family visits or support. This abandonment significantly contributes to the emotional burden and trauma experienced by nursing home residents, many of whom are aware of their family abandoning them. As a result, nursing homes are often perceived as depressing place where elderly live the rest of their lives without their family connections that typically provide emotional support and family bond. This perception underscores the profound emotional and psychological challenges faced by these residents. In response to these challenges, our project aims to dedicate a day to engage and socialize with the nursing home residents with Citizenship, Pancasila, Religion knowledge. Through a variety of activities, we seek to relieve their emotional and mental burdens, providing moments of warm feelings and support, even if it is only for a day.

Companion Robots: A Debate

Is it good or bad for humans to form intimate relationships with machines? This question has vexed machine designers for many years. One of its early appearances in computing was Joe Weizenbaum's Eliza program in 1966. Eliza mimicked a conversation one might have with a Rogerian psychotherapist. Weizenbaum was astounded when some of his friends, including his secretary, started divulging personal secrets to the machine and having warm feeling for the machine. He tried to dissuade them by showing them the inner workings of Eliza: a short program with no intelligence, just a short algorithm substituting keywords into user-typed strings. He was unsuccessful. They did not want to be dissuaded. This question has come back into public view with the arrival of large language models, which engage in competent, fluid conversations. It is now possible for robots to have natural language conversations with people. One of the areas where this is happening is companion robots, which have been introduced into long term care homes to provide companionship with residents and alert caretakers when someone has an emergency . Ubiquity is pleased to present a debate on companion robots. Computer scientist and author Michael Quinn argues their use may bring harmful consequences . Ubiquity's Jeff Riley, a semi-retired technologist and casual researcher in theoretical astrophysics, argues they have proved beneficial in research studies. Following their position papers are short rebuttals by Quinn and Riley on each other's positions .--- Peter J. Denning , Editor in Chief , Ubiquity

Psychometric evaluation of the Geneva Sentimentality Scale in Chinese college students.

The Geneva Sentimentality Scale (GSS) measures the experience of being moved and its effects on behavior. Despite the prevalence of this emotional response, it has not been extensively studied in China. This study aims to adapt and revise the GSS for Chinese college students to assess its cross-cultural consistency. A sample of 1328 students aged 18-24 years participated in the study, with 127 randomly selected for retesting after an 8-week interval. Exploratory factor analysis reveals that the Chinese version of the GSS includes three factors (emotional labels, tears of joy, and warm feelings in the chest), with a total of nine items. The internal consistency coefficients for the three factors and the overall scale are high, and the total score remains stable over time. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) shows that the three-factor model has a good fit. Multigroup CFA indicates measurement invariance across genders. The results also demonstrate good discriminant and convergent validity for the scale. Overall, the GSS is a reliable and flexible tool for assessing the emotion of being moved among Chinese college students.

PENGARUH PEMBERIAN KOMPRES HANGAT PADA PUNGUNG BAWAH IBU INPARTU KALA 1 FASE AKTIF TERHADAP TINGKAT NYERI DI RUANG BERSALIN RUMAH SAKIT ISLAM JOMBANG

There are two methods of dealing with labor pain, namely medical and non-medical. One of the non-medical actions is the provision of warm compresses given to the lower back area. Giving warm compresses can improve blood circulation, provide a feeling of warmth, prevent muscle spasms and reduce pain. This research is based on the results of observations made at the Jombang Islamic Hospital that the methods used to treat pain in laboring mothers are back massage and providing emotional support, while warm compresses have never been applied. This study aims to determine the effect of warm compresses on the level of active phase I labor pain in the Delivery Room of Jombang Islamic Hospital in 2023. The design of this study used the Quasi Experiment method (pseudo-experiment), with a one group pretest posttest design. The sample of this study was 15 women giving birth normally at the Jombang Islamic Hospital in July 2023. The results of the study were that most (66.7%) of respondents had severe pain before being given warm compresses and almost all (80%) of respondents had moderate pain levels after being given warm compresses. The results of the Wilcoxon statistical test obtained a p value of 0.001 (?<0.05) so it can be concluded that there is an effect of warm compresses on the level of labor pain in the Delivery Room of the Jombang Islamic Hospital. Provision of warm compresses can be applied in the Delivery Room of Jombang Islamic Hospital to help reduce labor pain, provide a sense of comfort and relaxation for mothers in labor.

A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF MURRAYA KOENIGII (LINN.) ON RESTORATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS BY AUGMENTING GLUCOSE UPTAKE IN THE NEURONS: A REVIEW

Fainting, also known as syncope or passing out, is caused by decreased cerebral blood flow leading to loss of consciousness and muscle strength. It is caused by lack of blood supply to the brain leading to decrease blood sugar supply to the neurons. Symptoms like dizziness, sweating, pale complexion, blurred vision, nausea, vomiting or a warm feeling precede the loss of consciousness[1]. For the brain, glucose serves as its main energy source. In order for glucose to be transported from the blood into the brain, it must pass through the endothelial cells that line the blood-brain barrier and enter the neurons and glia. These processes are mediated by facilitative Glucose transporter protein. Kaidarya is an Ayurvedic drug from the ancient samhitas, commonly known as curry leaves. Due to its grahi properties it increases the glucose uptake activity. When glucose uptake activity increases in the brain, it supplies sufficient glucose to the brain cells, which helps in management of fainting or syncope.

Penatalaksanaan Fisioterapi Pada kasus Post ORIF Metacarpal IV Sinistra dengan modalitas Infra Red(IR) dan Terapi Latihan

Based on 2018 Riskesdas data, an average of 92,976 fractures occurred, totaling 5,144 people. A single trauma and sudden excess force can cause a fracture. Orif installation is carried out if the use of close reduction/plaster fails, Orif is installed on the right fracture fragment. In solving problems in post-orif cases, physiotherapy plays a role in restoring movement and function using infrared modalities and exercise therapy. The energy produced by IR can be absorbed by superficial tissue with a warm feeling, thereby reducing pain. Exercise therapy using active and passive body movements can increase the range of motion of joints, increase muscle strength values ​​to restore functional ability. This research method uses a case study of physiotherapy management in Post Orif Metacarpal IV cases with Infra Red (IR) and Exercise Therapy. Results were obtained such as pressure pain from T0:3 decreased to T6:1, movement pain T0:5 decreased to T6:1. The muscle strength value of left wrist flexor T0:3 increased to T6:5, extensor T0: 3 increased to T6: 5 in left wrist flexor T0: 3 increased to T6: 5, extensor T0: 3 increased to T6:4. Left wrist joint range of motion from T0 (S: 20°-0°-15°) increases to T6 (S: 50°-0°-50°) at T0 left mcp (S: 10°-0°-20°) increases to T6:(S:45°-0°-40°), functional activity from T0:(severe dependence) increases to T6:(light dependence). Being more careful in activities and not pushing your abilities can reduce the incidence of fractures.

Dimensions of Parenting and Children's Conduct Problems: The Importance of Considering Children's Callous-Unemotional Traits.

Research has clearly indicated that the development of serious behavioral problems in children and adolescents is influenced by parenting. However, recent research has refined the role of parenting by showing the importance of distinguishing between different types of parenting and in considering the role of callous-unemotional traits (CU traits) and conduct problems (CP) of the children. In the current study, we advance this research by distinguishing between emotional (e.g., parental warmth; parental hostility) and behavioral (e.g., use of positive reinforcement; inconsistent discipline/harsh discipline) aspects of parenting and by considering the way parents respond to children's emotions (i.e., coaching and dismissing). The sample consisted of 136 mothers (M = 38.09 years, SD = 4.51 years, 45.41% high school degree) with a child (age range 3-5 years) enrolled in kindergarten in central Italy. Multiple regression analyses indicated that, after controlling for level of CP, use of positive reinforcement (β = -0.31, p < 0.001) and warm feelings (β = -0.22, p < 0.05), remained associated with CU traits and punitive parenting was no longer significant. Consistent with predictions, use of positive reinforcement was no longer associated with conduct problems when controlling for CU traits and the positive associations with punitive parenting (β = 0.24, p < 0.05) and negativity (β = 0.36, p < 0.001) remained significant. These findings support the need for continued research that considers both the emotional and behavioral aspects of parenting and disentangles their associations with conduct problems and CU traits. Such research could not only advance causal theories for children with conduct problems but also help to guide more effective treatments, especially for those with elevated CU traits who often leave treatment with significant conduct problems remaining.

Application of Warm Cinnamon Compresses to Reduce Pain Scale in Older Adults with Gout Arthritis in the Simpang Periuk Health Center Working Area 2023

Patients with Gout Arthritis often suffer from intense pain. While there's no one-size-fits-all cure for joint pain in older adults with this condition, there are various ways to ease the discomfort. Cinnamon compresses can help alleviate the symptoms. Compounds like eugenol and cinnamaldehyde in cinnamon create a warm feeling on the skin, calming inflammation by slowing down pain signals. This can help lower sensitivity to pain and make it easier to manage. The case study method used was a descriptive case study method, with two subjects of older ages with Gout Arthritis, using the format of assessment of family nursing care and evaluation of pain scales. Cinnamon compresses are carried out four times a week using 2 ml of cinnamon liquid, with 200cc of water, at a temperature of 40-450C, followed by compresses for 15-20 minutes using a washcloth. After applying cinnamon compresses four times a week, the study showed a decrease in pain intensity before and after the intervention was given to the two subjects. The Subject's pain intensity decreased from moderate to mild pain. The application of cinnamon compresses is effective in reducing the intensity of Gout Arthritis pain.

Flushing in children with cutaneous mastocytosis

Introduction. Flushing is a subjective feeling of warmth that is accompanied by redness of the skin on any part of the body, but mainly on the face, neck and upper trunk. Episodic flushing with other symptoms associated with mast cell mediators can be observed in 30–50% of children with cutaneous mastocytosis (CM).Aim. To analyze the frequency of flushing in children with various clinical forms of cutaneous mastocytosis. To study serum tryptase levels in children with flushing.Materials and methods. The study included data from 275 children aged from 6 months to 17 years inclusive, who were undergoing outpatient treatment and observation at the Moscow Scientific and Practical Center of Dermatovenereology and Cosmetology from March 2022 until January 2024. The concentration of tryptase in the blood was determined by immunofluo-rescence on a three-dimensional porous solid phase (ImmunoCAP technology, Pharmacia Diagnostics AB, Sweden). Polarization and immersion dermatoscopy with 20x magnification were performed.Results. Flushings were observed in 17.5% of patients out of 275 observed children with CM. The level of tryptase more than 15 µg/l was determined in 20.8% of children with flushing, above 11.0 µg/l – in 37.5%. Tryptase levels were higher than 8.0 µg/L in 22 (45.8%) patients. In 25.0% of patients with flushing, tryptase levels did not exceed 5 µg/L. The severity of the vascular pattern in lesions and apparently healthy skin was characteristic of patients with frequent or prolonged flushing and tryptase levels above 8.0 µg/L.Conclusion. This study was the first in the Russian Federation to demonstrate the prevalence of flushing in children with various clinical forms of cutaneous mastocytosis. The results showed that the assessment of serum tryptase levels should be performed in all children with flushing, regardless of the clinical form of mastocytosis, including those with isolated and multiple skin mastocytomas. Clinical laboratory and dermatoscopic monitoring are important for the development of individual therapeutic tactics and prevention of mediator reactions and anaphylaxis.

Thermal contrast enhancement predicts paradoxical heat sensation

Paradoxical Heat Sensation (PHS) is the remarkable feeling of warmth or heat pain while the skin is cooling. Despite its initial documentation over 100 years ago, a unified explanation for this perplexing experience remains elusive. Here we apply contrast enhancement principles, known for their instrumental role in understanding visual illusions, to the domain of thermosensation. Contrast enhancement describes the amplification of two contrasting visual features, such as the enhanced perception of an edge between a light and dark bar. In thermosensation, this encompasses an enhancement of the difference between sequential warming and cooling of the skin, and is defined as the normalised difference between successive temporal warm and cold temperatures. Remarkably, thermal contrast predicts the occurrence of PHS. Our findings reveal compelling evidence supporting the role of thermal contrast in the generation of PHS, shedding light on its underlying mechanism and offering a framework for broader encoding principles in thermosensation and pain.

Warm Ginger Compress for Hypertension Headache : A Case Study

Background : Hypertension is an increase in blood pressure in the arteries, where systolic blood pressure is above 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure is above 90 mmHg. In general, when someone suffers from hypertension, signs and symptoms will appear, one of which is head or neck pain. Head or neck pain can interfere with daily activities. One non-pharmacological action to reduce or treat headaches or neck pain is to apply a warm ginger compress. Objective: This study aims to find out the effect of warm compress is the provision of a feeling of warmth in a certain area, where the warm compress given is able to dilate the blood vessels and the oxygen supply becomes smooth and relieves tension, as a result the pain can be reduced. Methods: Data obtained from the results of the study, namely Mrs. M with acute pain problems. Results: After nursing care for 3 days, the scale before administering the warm ginger compress was moderate pain level (scale 5). And after giving a warm ginger compress there was mild pain (scale 2). Conclusion: So it can be concluded that warm ginger compresses are effective in reducing pain in hypertensive patients.

Steering Thermal Radiation

Thermal radiation is a physical phenomenon exhibiting dual characteristics of both light and heat. Sunlight, serving as the primary source of energy, emanates as thermal radiation from a high-temperature surface at 5,700 K. It is also responsible for the feeling of warmth experienced when individuals congregate and non-contact measurement of body temperature. Thus, thermal radiation exists everywhere in our daily life. However, in the early 20th century, thermal radiation posed a challenge to physicists. The endeavor to elucidate the spectrum of thermal radiation led to the concept of light as photons, therefore signaling the advent of quantum physics. It is known that thermal radiation uniformly emits, irrespective of its direction and polarization, with the spectrum dictated by Planck’s law. Yet, this commonplace should be modified when thermal radiation encounters the principle of nanophotonics. Herein lies the ability to modulate the intensity of thermal radiation across desired wavelengths, directions, and polarizations. In this article, we will delve into the latest research findings concerning the manipulation of thermal radiation and its promising applications.

Investigation of the effects of colour on the user's fabric handle perception and warm/cool feeling

AbstractColour has been an indispensable element for humanity from past to present. Colour, which in the past was used only to add visual appeal and to differentiate from others, is now also used for various functional purposes (such as textiles that change colour with heat). The aim of this study is to investigate whether the fabric colour has an effect on the handle perception and warm/cool feeling of the user. Studies have shown that, in subjective evaluations, fabrics with warm colours (yellow, red and orange) cause softer and warmer feeling than those with cool colours (blue, green and purple). In fact, considering that there is no statistically significant difference between the handle and temperature values determined by objective test methods, it can be said that this perception may arise from the psychological effect of colour. All these results reveal that colour, beyond adding visual appreciation to the fabric, also has an effect on handle perception and warm/cool feeling, which play an important role in the purchasing process for customers.

Idiomatic space of the concept MOTHERLAND in the English and Ukrainian languages

The article presents the study of the verbalization of the concept motherland in the Ukrainian and English languages. In today’s world, the question of importance of the concept motherland is more pressing than ever. In view of the tragic events in Ukraine and the sociopolitical situation in Britain, theconcept motherland acquires a special resonance, which determined the relevance of this study. The research establishes the theoretical basis for examining the concept motherland, unveiling its essence in philosophical and theoretical contexts. The concept is analyzed in the studied languages, considering both diachronic and synchronic perspectives. The study reveals that in Ukrainian ethnic consciousness, the concept motherland is associated with home, family and evokes warm feelings, although the illusions of the ideal are no longer present. The English concept motherland is slightly different, as the country’s rich history inspires a sense of pride, but often grappling with issues such as a lack of unity. Common basic cognitive-invariant archetypal constants of both peoples as descendants of Indo-Europeans include benevolence, patriotism, hospitality and success. However, in the process of historical and cultural development, each ethnic group acquired distinct variant profiles. Rational kindness is characteristic of the British, while openness and sincerity are typical of Ukrainians. The British exhibit abstractness in expressing feelings towards their native country, whereas Ukrainians demonstrate a close-intimate attitude towards their homeland. Stereotypically, the British may possess a sense of national superiority over other peoples, while Ukrainians harbor an interested attitude towards foreigners. Although researchers refer to the linguistic and cultural concept motherland as abstract and universal, as its deeper reconstruction shows, it has a clearly expressed ethno-cultural marking.

Autohydro Therapy Reducing Blood Glucose Levels in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients

Hyperglycemia is a blood glucose level that contains a lot of sugar in the body's blood circulation. Autogenic relaxation can control blood glucose in the body, by thinking about the feeling of warmth and heaviness in the body parts. Water therapy (Hydrotherapy) is a method of treatment and healing using water as a medium. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Autohidro (autogenic relaxation therapy and water therapy (Hydrotherapy) on blood glucose in patients with type II diabetes mellitus. The research design used Quasy Experimental with a pre test and post test control group approach, using a purposive sampling technique to obtain samples 32 respondents consisting of 16 people in each group, both control and treatment groups. Data processing and data analysis using the Paired T-Test and Independent T-Test. Results of data analysis using the Paired T-Test, Blood glucose in Diabetes Mellitus respondents there was a difference in the intervention group (p value 0.023), while in the control group there was no change in blood glucose (p value 0.064). Based on analysis using the Independent T-Test, it showed that there was an effect of Autohidro therapy on the blood glucose of Type II Diabetes Mellitus patients (p value 0.022). Autohidro therapy can be an alternative therapy to reduce blood glucose levels in Type II Diabetes Mellitus patients.

Pengaruh Pemberian Kompres Hangat Terhadap Nyeri Persalinan Pada Inpartu Kala I Fase Aktif Di RSI Fatimah Banyuwangi Tahun 2022

Labor is the process by which the fetus and amniotic fluid are pushed out through the birth canal. During the birth process the mother will experience pain. Pain that is uncontrolled or excerssive and does not get proper treatment can cause problems with difficulty in childbirth. A non-pharmocological method that is quite safe was to determine the effect of giving warm compresses to labor pain in the active phase of the first stage of labor at Fatimah Banyuwangi Hospital in 2022. The research method used a pre-exsperimental one group pretest posttest on 30 respondents who met the inclusion criteria, namely pregnant women in the first active phase, singleton pregnancies, head presentations, term pregnancies, normal delivery plants, fetal interpretation between 2500-4000 grams, accompanied by their husbands or family. Data collection was carried out using the VAS observation sheet and warm compress SOP. Then the data is processed through the process of editing, coding,scring, tabulating and statistical analysis of the Wilcoxon test. The result showed that the level of labor pain before the intervention was mostly in the severe pain category by 53% and after the warm compress intervention there was a decrease in the pain level, namely in the moderate pain category by 70%. Wilcoxon test reslts Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) 0,00 &lt; 0,05 means that there is a significant effect of giving warm compresses to labor pain in the active phase I parturition at RSI Fatimah Banyuwangi in 2022. Proper application of warm compresses according to the procedure gives a feeling of warmth and causes vasoconstriction so that labor pain in the first stage can be reduced. This method is safe and can be an alternative choice for midwives in the management of pain care during labor.

Rén qíng wèi (‘flavour of human feelings’) in the pragmeme of delivering Covid-19 directives

Previous studies on advice-giving in health contexts are largely based on face-to-face data or on issues related to target groups of individuals with specific health conditions. However, advice delivered in response to the coronavirus pandemic constitutes an unprecedented health context, as such advice is provided for the benefit of every individual in society. Based on the data of 30 1-min videos produced by the Taiwan Centers for Disease Control, this study investigates how directives are delivered and how rén qíng wèi (‘flavour of human feelings’), a Chinese term that encapsulates a composite of warm feelings, is manifested in the verbal delivery of Covid-19 directives. By conceptualising the delivery of Covid-19 directives as a pragmeme, this study investigates how the pragmeme is realised in Taiwan and examines how rén qíng wèi, an aggregate of culturally valued affectivity, is intertwined with directives, thereby strengthening the affective and cultural dimensions of pragmeme theory.

Emphasizing Similarities Between Politically Opposed Groups and Their Influence in Perceptions of the Political Opposition: Evidence From Five Experiments.

Across five experiments (four pre-registered, N = 4,431), we investigate whether emphasizing similarities between Republicans and Democrats can improve intergroup relations between the two groups. Members of both groups who were presented with evidence emphasizing similarities rather than differences in the psychological attitudes of both parties reported greater inclusion of the political opposition in the self, greater belief that common ground can be reached for major social issues, and warmer feelings toward the opposition. Inclusion of the political outgroup in the self mediated the effect of the similarities condition on additional outcomes, relating to more positive and less threatening perceptions of political opposition members. These findings held even when compared with a baseline condition with no information presented to participants. We conclude that by emphasizing the study of group similarities and by disseminating research in a way that highlights similarities, researchers could reduce intergroup hostilities in the political domain.

Who knowingly shares false political information online?

Some people share misinformation accidentally, but others do so knowingly. To fully understand the spread of misinformation online, it is important to analyze those who purposely share it. Using a 2022 U.S. survey, we found that 14 percent of respondents reported knowingly sharing misinformation, and that these respondents were more likely to also report support for political violence, a desire to run for office, and warm feelings toward extremists. These respondents were also more likely to have elevated levels of a psychological need for chaos, dark tetrad traits, and paranoia. Our findings illuminate one vector through which misinformation is spread.
