Family Support Relationships Degrees of Diabetic Foot Wounds

Changes in lifestyle can cause degenerative diseases such as Diabetes Mellitus (DM). The prevalence and incidence of this disease has increased drastically in industrialized and developing countries, including Indonesia. WHO predicts that DM data will increase to 300 million in the next 25 years. The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) estimates that in 2020 there will be 178 million DM sufferers in Indonesia aged over 20 years and assuming a DM prevalence of 4.6%, there will be 8.2 million DM patients. Currently, the prevalence of DM based on the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) in 2019, Indonesia is ranked 6th in the world with 10 million people. Based on the 2007 Riskesdas results, it is estimated that 463 million people suffer from diabetes currently and it is projected to reach 578 million in 2030. and 700 million in 2045. This study was to determine the relationship between family support and the degree of Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFU). The design of this research is an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional approach design. The subjects of this study were DM sufferers with diabetic foot ulcers who underwent treatment at the Independent Wound Nursing Practice in Bone Regency. The sampling technique uses the Total Sampling method. After carrying out the Pearson correlation test, test results were obtained with a p value = 0.000 and an r value = 0.648** so it can be concluded that there is a very strong correlation between family support and the degree of diabetic foot ulcers. So it can be concluded that the higher the family support for patients with diabetic foot ulcers, the lower the degree of injury. The results of this study can be concluded that there is a strong relationship between family support and the degree of injury in Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) patients so that caring for families with diabetic foot ulcers will provide good encouragement for diabetic foot ulcer patients so they can heal and follow the treatment program. the good one

Sibling Influences on Adolescent Delinquent Behaviour: An Australian Longitudinal Study

This article examines sibling influences on adolescent delinquency at age 14, using data from an Australian longitudinal study of 374 same- and mixed-sex sibling pairs. Based on maternal and self-reports, a moderately strong association between siblings' delinquency is found. The relationship remains significant controlling for childhood aggression and family environment factors measured during childhood (age 5) and adolescence (age 14), using both standardized instruments and new scales. This effect varies according to the sex composition of the sibling pair and is stronger for males and those whose parents have been arrested. The need for increased attention to sibling influences by researchers and prevention practitioners is discussed

Impulsive noise removal from color images with morphological filtering

This paper deals with impulse noise removal from color images. The proposed noise removal algorithm employs a novel approach with morphological filtering for color image denoising; that is, detection of corrupted pixels and removal of the detected noise by means of morphological filtering. With the help of computer simulation we show that the proposed algorithm can effectively remove impulse noise. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared in terms of image restoration metrics and processing speed with that of common successful algorithms.Comment: The 6th international conference on analysis of images, social networks, and texts (AIST 2017), 27-29 July, 2017, Moscow, Russi

Employment, Unemployment and the Health of Pregnant Women

Much of what little we know about the impact of unemployment or health is based upon data or studies of predominantly unemployed men. These studies, though weak in methodology, imply that unemployment may lead to excess morbidity and mortality. This paper reports a study of 4,000 pregnant women in Brisbane. Unemployment amongst women is associated with high-risk health behaviour, which in turn may lead to low birthweight births. Further, unemployed women are more anxious and depressed than are employed women. The mental health of the mother appears to be more closely related to the employment status of her spouse than to her own employment status

Early childhood adversity and adolescent depression: the mediating role of continued stress

Background. While various conceptualizations of the link between childhood adversity and later depression have been offered, most have not accounted for the possibility that early adversity predicts continuing stress proximal to depression onset. Thus, the present study tested the possible mediating role of recent stress in the association between early adversity and depression in late adolescence

Dating of the oldest continental sediments from the Himalayan foreland basin

A detailed knowledge of Himalayan development is important for our wider understanding of several global processes, ranging from models of plateau uplift to changes in oceanic chemistry and climate(1-4). Continental sediments 55 Myr old found in a foreland basin in Pakistan(5) are, by more than 20 Myr, the oldest deposits thought to have been eroded from the Himalayan metamorphic mountain belt. This constraint on when erosion began has influenced models of the timing and diachrony of the India-Eurasia collision(6-8), timing and mechanisms of exhumation(9,10) and uplift(11), as well as our general understanding of foreland basin dynamics(12). But the depositional age of these basin sediments was based on biostratigraphy from four intercalated marl units(5). Here we present dates of 257 detrital grains of white mica from this succession, using the Ar-40-(39) Ar method, and find that the largest concentration of ages are at 36-40 Myr. These dates are incompatible with the biostratigraphy unless the mineral ages have been reset, a possibility that we reject on the basis of a number of lines of evidence. A more detailed mapping of this formation suggests that the marl units are structurally intercalated with the continental sediments and accordingly that biostratigraphy cannot be used to date the clastic succession. The oldest continental foreland basin sediments containing metamorphic detritus eroded from the Himalaya orogeny therefore seem to be at least 15-20 Myr younger than previously believed, and models based on the older age must be re-evaluated

Intrauterine Growth and Intelligence Within Sibling Pairs: Findings From the Mater-University Study of Pregnancy and its Outcomes

Objective: To examine the association between intrauterine growth and intelligence. Design: Population based birth cohort study of sibling pairs born within a maximum of three years of each other. Setting: Mater-University women and children's hospital, Brisbane, Australia. Participants: 235 (470 children) sibling pairs. Results: Among one randomly selected sibling from each pair verbal comprehension at age 5, general intelligence at age 14, and reading ability at age 14 increased linearly with increasing gestational age and sex standardised birth weight z scores. With adjustment for maternal age, race, and smoking during pregnancy, birth order, family income, and parental education the associations with verbal comprehension at age 5 and general intelligence at age 14 remained, whereas the association with reading ability at age 14 was attenuated to the null. Within sibling pairs, differences in intrauterine growth were positively associated with differences in verbal comprehension at age 5 (test score difference per one unit difference in birth weight z score = 1.52 (0.11 to 3.26)) and general intelligence at age 14 (1.09 (0.01 to 2.18)), but not with reading ability at age 14. Conclusions: Socioeconomic position or other fixed maternal characteristics do not seem to explain the positive association between intrauterine growth and childhood intelligence
