The role of the healthcare sector in the prevention of sexual violence against sub-Saharan transmigrants in Morocco : a study of knowledge, attitudes and practices of healthcare workers
Background: Sub-Saharan transmigrants in Morocco are extremely vulnerable to sexual violence. From a public health perspective, the healthcare system is globally considered an important partner in the prevention of sexual violence. The aim of this study is twofold. In a first phase, we aimed to identify the current role and position of the Moroccan healthcare sector in the prevention of sexual violence against sub-Saharan transmigrants. In a second phase, we wanted these results and available guidelines to be the topic of a participatory process with local stakeholders in order to formulate recommendations for a more desirable prevention of sexual violence against sub-Saharan transmigrants by the Moroccan healthcare sector.
Methods: Knowledge, attitudes and practices of healthcare workers in Morocco concerning sexual violence against sub-Saharan transmigrants and its prevention were firstly explored in semi-structured interviews after which they were discussed in a participatory process resulting in the formulation of recommendations.
Results: All participants (n=24) acknowledged the need for desirable prevention of sexual violence against transmigrants. Furthermore, important barriers in tertiary prevention practices, i.e. psychosocial and judicial referral and long-term follow-up, and in secondary prevention attitudes, i.e. active identification of victims were identified. Moreover, existing services for Moroccan victims of sexual violence currently do not address the sub-Saharan population. Thus, transmigrants are bound to rely on the aid of civil society.
Conclusions: This research demonstrates the low accessibility of existing Moroccan services for sub-Saharan migrants. In particular, there is an absence of prevention initiatives addressing sexual violence against the sub-Saharan transmigrant population. Although healthcare workers do wish to develop prevention initiatives, they are dealing with structural difficulties and a lack of expertise. Recommendations adapted to the context of sub-Saharan transmigrants in Morocco are suggested
POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER AFTER COVID-19 INTENSIVE CARE ADMISSION: CHARACTERISTICS AND PERSPECTIVES
An increase of psychopathology such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is described in patients affected with COVID-
19 that stayed at an intensive care unit (ICU). However, data on follow-up and on impact of contextual factors are limited. In a
single-center, observational study, PTSD symptomatology was prevalent among 38% of participants (n=8), persisting in clinical
PTSD in 2 participants after one year. In patients with initial PTSD symptoms, scores on depression, anxiety and insomnia sca les
were significantly higher. A higher mental burden due to avoidance of contact and a reduced quality of life was also retained in
patients with PTSD symptoms
SERVER VIRTUALIZATION USE PHPVIRTUALBOX
ABSTRACT
Make the server as an important learning so that we know how to create a
server in a computer network laboratory in the Faculty of Computer Science
Soegijapranata Catholic University.
Experimenting server has a big risk to the computer laboratory, therefore
server virtualization is a solution that can minimize the risk of damage. Creating
server virtualization using phpVirtualBox as a service for clients. The first
process the server must connect to the network and have VirtualBox,
phpVirtualBox as a service.
The server has a phpVirtualBox service that can be accessed by a client
via browser with IP address server.

Prediction of electroconvulsive therapy response and remission in major depression: Meta-analysis
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is considered to be the most effective treatment in severe major depression. The identification of reliable predictors of ECT response could contribute to a more targeted patient selection and consequently increased ECT response rates. Aims To investigate the predictive value of age, depression severity, psychotic and melancholic features for ECT response and remission in major depression. Method A meta-analysis was conducted according to the PRISMA statement. A literature search identified recent studies that reported on at least one of the potential predictors. Results Of the 2193 articles screened, 34 have been included for metaanalysis. Presence of psychotic features is a predictor of ECT remission (odds ratio (OR) = 1.47, P = 0.001) and response (OR = 1.69, P < 0.001), as is older age (standardised mean difference (SMD) = 0.26 for remission and 0.35 for response (P < 0.001)). The severity of depression predicts response (SMD = 0.19, P = 0.001), but not remission. Data on melancholic symptoms were inconclusive. Conclusions ECT is particularly effective in patients with depression with psychotic features and in elderly people with depression. More research on both biological and clinical predictors is needed to further evaluate the position of ECT in treatment protocols for major depression
