Fever is a prevalent illness among children. Physical cooling interventions worsen the child’s condition as a result of parents’ anxiety and misconceptions about fever. This study aims to identify parental physical cooling intervention as fever management for feverish children in the scientific literature. The study adhered to the guidelines in the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA). The investigations were conducted within scientific electronic databases: ProQuest, Pubmed, Scopus, EBSCO, Google Scholar, and Cochrane, published in English, from January 2013 to August 2023. Authors screened articles for inclusion. After exclusion, there were ten studies included in the analysis with 15,488 participants. The literature review demonstrated that the physical cooling methods employed for home fever management were taking off excess clothes, providing extra fluid, warm compresses, sponging, showering and environmental measures. Sponging techniques and cold compresses are popular among parents. However, the methods have negative effects and are not recommended. Effective fever management optimizes the body's physiological response by ensuring adequate hydration, nutrition, and a conducive environment. When the fever worsens, parents should consider seeking medical treatment.

https://ijeecs.iaescore.com/index.php/IJEECS/article/view/4218
Syukri Yunus , Khalid Mohamed Nor
Operation is non-linear in a state of unbalance can cause problems harmonics in the power system. There are two parts over the use of computational time in harmonic load flow, the first in the construction of harmonic admittance matrix and the second is the iteration scheme for solving systems of linear equations. Mechanical completion of the harmonic admittance to the problem can be expressed in this paper, was developed as a harmonic admittance parallel applications, and a direct algorithm to calculate the admittance matrix elements are presented. Here, we show three phase power flow program is broken down into three independent sub problems, namely: network sequence of positive, negative, and zero. Positive sequence network will be solved by using the method of Fast decouple without modifying their formulation. Negative and zero sequence networks solved using nodal voltage equation. All three networks have been modeled by a sequence of three independent circuits and solved simultaneously using multi-core processors in parallel programming. DOI:  http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v13i3.7093

A scoping review of economic evaluations of post-traumatic stress disorder patients’ intervention

10.11591/ijphs.v14i1.23725
Veronica Dwarika , Amos Nnaemeka Amedu
Intervention programmes for patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have been extensively evaluated economically, and the related implementation costs are presumably high. This study reviewed the cost-effectiveness of PTSD intervention programmes and associated health benefits. The literature search was carried out between June and July 2023. The PRISMA guidelines for scoping review protocols were strictly followed. A literature search was conducted on the National Health Service (NHS) Economic Evaluation Database, PubMed, PsycInfo, and EconLit, this search yielded 16 studies. This review revealed that trauma-focused cognitive-behavioural therapy (+selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor) (TF+CBT+SSRIs); prolonged exposure therapy; MDMA-assisted therapy (MDMA-AT); stepped care, screen and treatment; and the transmural trauma care model were cost-effective for PTSD treatment. The cost-effectiveness of intervention programmes that lasted 10 to 31 years was greater. In general, long-term intervention programmes have been associated with health benefits. It is also important to note that telemedicine, cognitive-behavioural therapy, biopsychosocial therapy, and individual therapeutic interventions are capital-intensive and inefficient. When disbursing funding for PTSD treatment around the world, the world health organisation (WHO) should keep in mind these identified interventions and the countries where they have been found to be cost-effective.

 Capacitance measurement accuracy is affected by phase conformity between signal and reference. This work describes phase detection scheme which is necessary for phase synchronization in tomography application. Core processing for calculating phase and amplitude of the detected signal was built on FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate-Array) platform. Phase shift demodulation algorithm employs IP core provided by Xilinx FPGA. Direct digital synthesizer (DDS), multiplier, accumulator, and CORDIC (coordinate rotation digital computer) modules were used as excitation-reference signal generator, signal multiplication, accumulation, and conversion to polar coordinate in order to conduct trigonometric operation respectively. Hardware design was emulated on MATLAB-Xilinx System Generator to observe its performance. Phase detection range 0-114.58o and mean absolute error 0.58o have been achieved. Data processing rate solely at digital signal stage was approximately 100data/s suitable for 32-channel electrical capacitance volume tomography (ECVT) system.

The algorithm to allocate mesh active link to radio resource timeslot in wireless mesh network (WMN) is investigated. This paper proposes the novel method to allocate multiple links in one timeslot for improving the wireless mesh network throughput via spatial time division multiple access (STDMA) protocol. The throughput improvement is obtained by modifying greedy based algorithm that is widely known as a low complexity algorithm. We propose and investigate new parameters in the greedy based algorithm that can be used as scheduling control parameters, i.e. interference weight, scheduling weight, and the sum of link’s degree. Simulation results indicate that this approximation increases network performance in throughput and length of scheduling performance closed to the upper bound performance that is achieved by the algorithm that uses the physical interference model.

Loss of independence due to cognitive and functional ability is the main challenge experienced by individuals with severe mental illness. This study aimed to investigate the associated factors of caregiver burden among caregivers of individuals with severe and persistent mental illness living in the community. We used a cross-sectional design with open-ended questions to determine the contributing factors to caregiver burden. A self-administered questionnaire was used to measure caregiver burden and resilience (n=201). Caregiver burden and resilience were operationalised using the caregiver burden inventory scale (CBI) and connor-davidson resilience scale (CD-RS), respectively. The findings showed that the caregivers were experiencing a moderate level of caregiver burden (M=30.7, SD=20.3). Caregiving-related stressors are the most important predictor of caregiver burden, explaining 28.3% of the variance in caregiver burden. Finally, the hierarchical analysis found that resilience, caregiver-related stressors and socio-demographic factors contributed to 52.4% of the variance in caregiver burden. New factors that contributed to the burden, such as lack of support and knowledge deficit, emerged from the qualitative findings. The results highlighted the growing evidence of the role of caregivers' socio-demographic variables, caregiving-related stressors and resilience to caregiver burden.

Wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of hundred to thousands sensor nodes to gathered the information from physical environment. Different clustering based algorithms have been proposed to improve network lifetime and energy efficiency. Practically it is not feasible to recharge the battery of sensor nodes when they are sensing the data. In such situation energy is crucial resource and it should be improved for life span of WSN. Cluster head (CH) has an important role in hierarchical energy efficient routing protocols because it receives data from nodes and sends towards base station (BS) or sink node. This paper presents a grid based cluster head selection (GBCHS) mechanism by dividing the network field into MXN uniform size partitions that aims to minimize the energy dissipation of sensor nodes and enhancing network lifetime. Simulation experiments have been performed in network simulator (NS2) that show our proposed GBCHS approach outperformed than standard clustering hierarchy LEACH protocol.

Multivariate mediation analyses were used to relate perceptions of particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) pollution level directly and indirectly to mental stress of residents in Bangkok, Thailand. PM2.5 induced concerns about respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, health, and unemployment served as mediators of the indirect effects. This study decomposed full perception into correct perception (actual PM2.5 level) and misperception so that the effects of perception and its components can be examined separately. The data were daily time series, beginning July 30, 2016, and ending September 30, 2023. Unobserved perception, PM2.5 induced concerns, and mental stress were proxied by Google’s relative search volume indexes. Correct perception was the actual PM2.5, whereas misperception was the regression residual of the full perception on the actual PM2.5. In the full sample, full perception and misperception had significant indirect effects, whereas correct perception had a significant direct effect. Respiratory disease was the main contributor to the significant indirect effect, although concern itself was not significant. For the COVID-19 subsample, full perceptions showed significant total, direct, and indirect effects. The significant indirect effect was explained by concerns regarding respiratory diseases and health. Correct perception had a significant direct effect; its indirect effect was small and nonsignificant. The results for misperceptions were similar to those for perceptions.

Kalimantan relies significantly on peat water as a water source. However, due to its high organic content, acidic nature, and intense color, it is not safe to drink. To address this issue, researchers proposed an eco-friendly coagulant, calcium lactate, to remove suspended solids. To test its effectiveness, the coagulant was compared to membrane technologies, specifically nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO), at Rasau Jaya General Hospital in West Kalimantan between April and October 2022. Different pressures, 40, 60, and 80 Psi, were used to test both methods. Before and after treatment, the levels of total coliform, E. coli, pH, total dissolved solid (TDS), turbidity, color, and calcium were examined. The results showed that the best outcomes were achieved at 60 Psi. The combination of 0.8 mg/l calcium lactate and NF met all the standard values, except for color (29 TCU). Calcium lactate and RO, however, produced safe drinking water at 60 Psi from all analyzed parameters (E. coli=0, total coliform=0, pH=6.5, TDS=7.1, nephelometric turbidity units (NTU)=2.8 NTU, color=8.7 TCU, and calcium 7.6 mg/l). The reduction of bacteriological substances achieved 100% for both methods. Overall, the combination of calcium lactate and RO yielded slightly better results than NF.

Child stunting remains a global public health problem. Compared to other middle-income countries, Indonesia is one of the countries with a high prevalence of stunting. This study aims to identify predictive indices and analyse the determinants of stunting in children under five in urban areas. Case control design was conducted on 420 (210 cases and 210 controls). Simple random sampling and side proportional techniques were used for sampling. Structured questionnaires were used to collect data through interviews and anthropometric measurements. Multivariable binary logistic regression analysis and statistical significance expressed at 95% CI, as well as receiver operating characteristic analysis were used. Mothers with low education (OR=1.6, 95% CI=1.0-2.6), fathers with no permanent job (OR=1.5, 95% CI=1.0-2.4), pregnancy interval less than 24 months (OR=1.6, 95% CI=1.0- 2.6), family size of five or more (OR=2.1, 95% CI=1.3-3.3), income below minimum household income (OR=1. 7, 95% CI=1.0-2.8), not exclusively breastfed (OR=2.1, 95% CI=1.1-3.7), not fully immunised (OR=2.1, 95% CI=1.0-4.4), low birth weight (OR=2.3, 95% CI=1.2-4.5), and a history of disease (OR=2.0, 95% CI=1.0-3.8) were determinants of stunting. The most dominant determinant of stunting in children under five years old is low birth weight. Therefore, strategies and programmes are aimed at early prevention efforts, by increasing awareness to change community behaviour regarding improving maternal nutrition since pregnancy.

Mizna Sabilla , Ratu Ayu Dewi Sartika
Studies focusing on paternal confidence in supporting breastfeeding remain relatively scarce, especially in Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to explore paternal breastfeeding self-efficacy among fathers in Indonesia. This study used a qualitative approach with ten participants, including fathers and mothers with children aged 6-24 months who had experience in exclusive breastfeeding. It took place in South Tangerang City between May and July 2023. Fathers participated in focus group discussions, while mothers underwent in-depth interviews. The data analysis utilized content analysis, referring to the theme of the Self-efficacy framework. This study revealed that fathers felt less confident when dealing with issues such as the baby's low weight, breastfeeding refusal, and the mother returning to work. However, seeing the consequences of not exclusively breastfeeding and the support from health workers and the community helped them stay confident. These factors, along with a sense of pride and satisfaction, strengthened their ability to support exclusive breastfeeding. Paternal breastfeeding self-efficacy is dynamic. However, previous experience, observation of others, verbal persuasion, and positive emotions strengthen fathers' beliefs. Parents need to consult a lactation counselor when facing problems while breastfeeding. Counselors can provide assistance and motivation to remain confident and continue to exclusively breastfeed.
