    CHILD MALTREATMENT AND DEPRESSION: THE ROLE OF SOCIAL SUPPORT

    Get PDF
    The goal of the current study is to examine the differential mediating and moderating effects of social support on depression after experiencing child maltreatment. The differential effects of social support will be examined by source and type of social support. Differences across gender will also be examined.It is expected that experiencing child maltreatment will increase the probability of depression, but social support in general is expected to mediate and moderate the relationship between maltreatment and depression. Emotional social support, especially from family, is expected to have the largest mediating effect on mental health outcomes among maltreatment victims compared (Cohen & Willis, 1985; Thoits, 1995). To investigate these relationships, data are used from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health). Structural equation modeling will be used to analyze the hypotheses. Directions for future research and policy implications will be discussed

    The purpose of this thesis is to undertake and improve the accuracy of locating the relevant documents from a large amount of Electronic Medical Data (EMD). The unique goal of this research is to propose a new idea for using medical ontology to find an easy and more reliable approach for patients to have a better understanding of their diseases and also help doctors to find and further improve the possible methods of diagnosis and treatments. The empirical studies were based on the dataset provided by CLEF focused on health care data. In this research, I have used Information Retrieval to find and obtain relevant information within the large amount of data sets provided by CLEF. I then used ranking functionality on the Terrier platform to calculate and evaluate the matching documents in the collection of data sets. BM25 was used as the base normalization method to retrieve the results and Pseudo Relevance Feedback weighting model to retrieve the information regarding patients health history and medical records in order to find more accurate results. I then used Unified Medical Language System to develop indexing of the queries while searching on the Internet and looking for health related documents. UMLS software was actually used to link the computer system with the health and biomedical terms and vocabularies into classify tools; it works as a dictionary for the patients by translating the medical terms. Later I would like to work on using medical ontology to create a relationship between the documents regarding the medical data and my retrieved results

    PRODUCT SKATEBOARD DALAM FILM “HABIBIE & AINUN”

    Get PDF
    Currently Film becomes a medium of promotional strategy of a product or called Product Skateboard that is in great demand by advertiser manufacturers. Because watching a movie can attract high attention and involve activities so that the audience is interested in buying the product. Natural placements also make viewers less distracted than ads that appear too much and have a long duration. But not necessarily Product Skateboard is able to run smoothly, but there is also a Product Skateboard where advertiser producers are more concerned about how the product can be seen in the film related to the interests of producers to advertise and the interests of producers to obtain financial support for the filming process. This can create blurring of the boundaries between entertainment and commercial element 2, as well as disrupting the script due to product type mismatches with the scene that existed when the product appeared. Product skateboard marketing that looks at the discrepancy of the year marketed products with a time setting is in one of the films titled "Habibie &Ainun", The existence of products that have discrepancies in the year marketed products with a time setting on the scene, certainly affects the credibility of the film "Habibie and Ainun" as a biographical film, which in the poster of the film is also seen to include the phrase "based on true story"

Taqwaddin Husin, S.H., S.E., M.S.Ombudsman merupakan lembaga negara yang berfungsi mengawasi penyelenggaraan pelayanan publik. Kehadiran Ombudsman di Aceh ini sangat dibutuhkan. Pemerintah Kota Banda Aceh sebagai salah satu pemerintah kota yang wajib memberikan pelayanan Publik yang maksimal kepada masyarakat. Namun, kondisi pelayanan publik Kota Banda Aceh masih mengecewakan . Kota Banda Aceh menjadi daerah yang terbanyak laporan atas kasus maladministrasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui persepsi Pemerintah Kota Banda Aceh terhadap peran pengawasan Ombudsman Perwakilan Aceh dan pengaruh dari pengawasan Ombudsman Perwakilan Aceh terhadap kinerja Pemerintah Kota Banda Ace h. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif. Data diperoleh melalui penelitian lapangan dan kepustakaan. Penelitian lapangan dilakukan melalui wawancara dengan informan, sedangkan data kepustakaan dilakukan dengan cara membaca buku, skripsi, jurnal dan peraturan perundang-undangan yang berkaitan dengan peneltian ini. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa pengawasan Ombudsman menjadi aspek penting untuk menjaga fungsi pemerintahan berjalan dengan semestinya. Pengawasan dari Ombudsman membawa pengaruh yang besar dalam pemerintahan. Namun, dalam melakukan perubahan sebagaimana yang disarankan oleh Ombudsman masih belum dilakukan dengan maksimal, dibuktikan dengan banyaknya kasus yang dilaporkan ke lembaga Ombudsman. Diharapkan Pemerintah Kota Banda Aceh dapatbekerja lebih keras dalam meningkatkan kualitas pelayanannya, sehingga masyarakat puas dalam menerima pelayanan. Kata Kunci : Persepsi, Ombudsma

    Revisiting Early Palliative Care for Patients With Hematologic Malignancies and Bone Marrow Transplant: Why the Delay?

    Get PDF
    Palliative care has been defined as specialized care for patients facing serious illnesses. Despite advancements in the field and studies documenting the effectiveness of early palliative care (PC) interventions in seriously ill patients, the fields of hematologic malignancies and bone marrow transplant still lag behind of a comprehensive framework for early and effective interventions. The aim of this literature review is to analyze and discuss the possible barriers to care and delayed referrals for hematologic malignancies and bone marrow transplant patients. Using the EBSCO and PubMed databases, articles regarding PC among patients with hematologic malignancies and bone marrow transplant were analyzed. There are three main domains with its respective barriers in PC: physicians, patients and caregivers, and the healthcare system. Issues that were identified included the lack of knowledge and misconceptions about PC among physicians, patients, and caregivers, delayed referral of patients with hematologic malignancies, unrealistic treatment expectations, lack of communication between specialties, difficulties with appointment availability, geographical distance between clinics, and lack of insurance coverage for PC services. We suggest possible alternatives including obligatory continuing medical education (CME) credits, loan forgiveness, rotations during residency and fellowship training, use of informational videos and pamphlets to educate patients and caregivers, obligatory early consults despite prognosis, an algorithm to evaluate patient\u27s needs, creating a platform within electronic medical records (EMR) systems shared by specialties, and having PC service in every cancer center. Findings suggest a need for further studies aimed towards implementing solutions to increase the early referral of patients with hematologic malignancies and bone marrow transplantation (BMT) to palliative care.

    Adolescent Sexual Victimization: The Role of Social Support and Risky Lifestyle

    Get PDF
    Although about half of all rape victims are adolescents, the bulk of the research on sexual victimization is focused on college or community samples of adult women. As such, little is known about adolescent risk of sexual victimization. Adolescence is an important developmental phase in life, in which an individual undergoes major social and biological changes. These changes may make them more susceptible to environmental characteristics, such as family climate, compared to adults. Environmental factors may influence risk taking among adolescents, which may increase the risk of sexual victimization. The theory of social support can be useful in understanding why some young individuals are sexually victimized and others are not. Data for the analysis is derived from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health). The current study uses the in-home interviews from Wave I, Wave II, and Wave IV of Add Health. The purpose of the study is to examine the relationship between social support, risky behavior, and sexual victimization. Specifically, whether risky behavior mediates the relationship between adolescent sexual victimization and social support will be examined

    Increase of Excavating Sponges on Caribbean Coral Reefs: Reproduction, Dispersal, and Coral Deterioration

    Get PDF
    Coral reefs ecosystems are deteriorating and facing dramatic changes. These changes suggest a shift in dominance from corals to other benthic organisms. Particularly in the Caribbean Sea, with corals dying, sponges have become the leading habitat-forming benthic animals. However, little is known about what life-history traits allow organisms to proliferate in a marine system that is undergoing change. Thus, the objective of this dissertation was to try to understand the current increase of encrusting excavating sponges on deteriorating Caribbean coral reefs through the study of reproduction, recruitment and dispersal potential of the widely distributed and currently expanding species, Cliona delitrix. Different methodological approaches were used, such as histology, electron microscopy, quantification of sponges in the field, genetics, and mathematical modeling. Results are presented in four different chapters. It was found that Cliona delitrix has an extended reproductive cycle in Florida, USA, from April - May to around November - December depending on a \u3e25°C sea-water temperature threshold. C. delitrix gametogenesis is asynchronous and it has multiple spawning events. C. delitrix is recruiting abundantly on Caribbean coral reefs, preferentially on recent coral mortality than on old coral mortality. The increase in C. delitrix and other excavating sponges can be explained by the repeated spawning and by the coincidence in time and space of larval production with the availability of new dead coral, which tend to overlap during the warmest months of the year. Eggs or larvae of C. delitrix appear to survive enough to be transported by currents over larger distances. It was found that dispersal ranges for Cliona delitrix may reach as far as ~315 km in the Florida reef track, and over ~971 km in the South Caribbean Sea, between Belize and Panama. Thus, reproduction, dispersal, and recruitment patterns of C. delitrix along with oceanographic currents, and eddies that form at different periods of time, are sustaining the spread of this sponge on coral reefs. According to mathematical models carried out, C. delitrix increase on reefs fluctuates depending of coral mortality events and available space on old dead coral (colonized by algae and other invertebrates). However, under temperature anomalies, these sponges will 2 tend to increase and take over the reef system only if heat stress and coral mortality is moderate. Under massive mortality events both corals and sponges will tend to decline, although sponges at a slower rate than corals. In general, coral excavating sponges have been favored by coral mortality, especially during past few decades. However as bioeroders, their success is also limited by the success of calcifying corals. In a reef management context and based on this dissertation’s findings, it is suggested that excavating sponges, and especially Cliona delitrix, should be more formally included in reef monitoring programs. Their increase can be used to track coral mortality events on reefs (past and future), and also can be used as another major bioindicator of health on coral reefs
