This study assesses the status of iodine deficiency among at risk-children and adolescents living in migrant settlements in the Kyrgyz Republic. Children aged 7–15 years from two regional primary schools in the new settlement regions were screened for cognitive and behavioural signs of iodine deficiency using questionnaires. The functional state of the thyroid gland was assessed using ultrasonography and blood tests. Out of 1058 schoolchildren, 15.8% showed signs of iodine deficiency. Female children aged 10–12 years showed a higher prevalence of iodine deficiency. The families of schoolchildren reported limited use of seafood and iodised salt. Children in the migrant regions were at risk of iodine deficiency disorder. Among children, clinical manifestations of iodine deficiency were observed as negative hormonal levels or the presence of goitre. Further investigation on standardised screening instruments for iodine deficiency and the relationship among multilevel analyses are warranted.

This study examined the relationship between participants’ negative or positive identification with television characters and their behavior, and how their reactions in times of anger — whether simply negative or physically violent — varied between at-risk participants and normative ones. Participants were 86 children and adolescents from Israel who filled in four questionnaires on the topics of viewing habits, attitudes, self-image, and aggression. The findings revealed that at-risk children and adolescents reacted with more anger than did their normative counterparts, and that their reaction became stronger when they identified with a character’s negative behavior. It was further revealed that the more they watched, the higher their identification with the character and the greater their negative reaction during anger. A violent physical reaction in times of anger is more strongly associated with viewing alone than with viewing with friends. The findings also revealed that identification with the character is a mediating variable between the amount and type (solitary or with friends) of viewing and negative and violent reactions. At-risk children and adolescents tend to choose programs that show violent behaviors, and such programs could ultimately lead them to exhibit violent reactions. The question is how can the amount of children and adolescents’ viewing be limited while avoiding arguments and punishment? The key to success is finding a solution that will be formulated with the children and adolescents’ full cooperation.

AbstrakKarsinoma tiroid merupakan keganasan kelenjar endokrin yang paling sering ditemukan dan insidennya meningkat setiap tahun. Berdasarkan gambaran histopatologinya, karsinoma tiroid dibagi menjadi tipe papiler, folikuler, meduler, dan anaplastik. Salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi gambaran histopatologi karsinoma tiroid adalah keadaan geografis, dimana karsinoma tipe folikuler dan anaplastik akan lebih sering ditemukan pada daerah beresiko defisiensi yodium dibandingkan daerah tidak beresiko defisiensi yodium. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan daerah tempat tinggal dengan gambaran histopatologi karsinoma tiroid. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain analitik observasional dengan mengumpulkan data sekunder di Laboratorium Patologi Anatomi FK Unand dan rekam medik RSUP M. Djamil periode Januari 2010 – Desember 2011 Dari penelitian ini ditemukan 102 kasus karsinoma tiroid, dimana 32 kasus bertempat tinggal di daerah beresiko defisiensi yodium dan 70 kasus bertempat tinggal di daerah tidak beresiko defisiensi yodium. Pada daerah beresiko defisiensi yodium, 34,4% merupakan karsinoma folikuler dan anaplastik, dan 65,5% merupakan karsinoma selain folikuler dan anaplastik. Pada daerah tidak beresiko defisiensi yodium, 22,9% merupakan karsinoma folikuler dan anaplastik, dan 77,1% merupakan karsinoma selain folikuler dan anaplastik. Dari analisis statistik hubungan daerah beresiko defisiensi yodium dengan kejadian karsinoma folikuler dan anaplastik berdasarkan uji chi-square didapatkan nilai p =0,33. Tidak terdapat hubungan bermakna antara daerah tempat tinggal dengan gambaran histopatologi karsinoma tiroid pada masyarakat Sumatera Barat pada periode Januari 2010 – Desember 2011.

Based on histopathological types, thyroid carcinomas are divided into papillary carcinoma, follicular carcinoma, medullary carcinoma, and anaplastic carcinomas. Factors that can influence the histopathological type of thyroid carcinomas is geographical factor, which follicular and anaplastic type of thyroid carcinomas more frequently found in areas at risk of iodine deficiency than the area not at risk of iodine deficiency.The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of residential areas with histopathologic types of thyroid carcinoma. This analytic research with observational design obtaining secondary data from Pathology Anatomy Laboratory of Medical Faculty of Andalas University and medical record of M. Djamil Hospital in a period of January 2010 – December 2011. From this reseach, found 102 cases of thyroid carcinoma, of which 32 cases residing in areas at risk of iodine deficiency and 70 cases residing in the area are not at risk of iodine deficiency. In areas at risk of iodine deficiency, 34.4% are follicular and anaplastic carcinomas, and 65.5% are papillary carcinomas. In areas not at risk of iodine deficiency, 22.9% are follicular and anaplastic carcinomas, and 77.1% are papillary carcinomas. Statistical analysis of the relationship of the area at risk of iodine deficiency with follicular and anaplastic carcinoma incidence by chi-square test p value = 0.32.There is no significant correlation between residential areas and histopathological types of thyroid carcinoma of West Sumatera society.Keywords:Histopathological types of thyroid carcinoma, residential areas

The status of tafsīr and Qur'anic studies in the Islamic Republic of Iran has changed significantly during recent decades. The essay provides an overview of the state of Qur'anic studies in Iran today, aiming to examine the extent of the impact of studies by Western scholars on Iranian academic circles during the last three decades and the relationship between them. As in most Islamic countries, the major bulk of academic activity in Iran in this field used to be undertaken by the traditional ʿulamāʾ; however, since the beginning of the twentieth century and the establishment of universities and other academic institutions in the Islamic world, there has been increasing diversity and development. After the Islamic Revolution, many gradual changes in the structure and approach of centres of religious learning and universities have occurred. Contemporary advancements in modern sciences and communications technologies have gradually brought the institutions engaged in the study of human sciences to confront the new context. As a result, the traditional Shīʿī centres of learning, which until 50 years ago devoted themselves exclusively to the study of Islamic law and jurisprudence, today pay attention to the teaching of foreign languages, Qur'anic sciences and exegesis, including Western studies about the Qur'an, to a certain extent, and recognise the importance of almost all of the human sciences of the West.

Background: Widespread social paradigms on which the status variances are grounded in any society, gender plays pivotal role in manifestation of mental health problems (Rutter, 2007). A hefty volume of research has addressed the issue in adults nonetheless, little is vividly known about the role of gender in adolescent psychopathology. Sample: A sample of 240 adolescents (125 boys, 115 girls) aging 12-18 years was amassed from various secondary schools of Islamabad with the approval of the Federal Directorate of Education (FDE), relevant authorities of the schools and the adolescents themselves. Instruments: Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale (Taylor & Spence, 1953) and Children’s Negative Cognitive Errors Questionnaire (CNCEQ) by Leitenberg et al., (1986) were applied in present study. Results: Multiple regression analysis revealed that cognitive errors jointly accounted for 78% of variance in predicting anxiety among adolescents. Findings also exhibited that gender significantly moderated the relationship between cognitive errors and adolescent anxiety. Implications of the findings are discoursed for future research and clinical practice.

This article focuses on the specific Indian cinematic form of the Hindu devotional film genre to explore the relationship between cinema and religion. Using three important early films from the devotional oeuvre—Gopal Krishna, Sant Dnyaneshwar, and Sant Tukaram—as the primary referent, it tries to understand certain characteristic patterns in the narrative structures of these films, and the cultures of visuality and address, miraculous manifestation, and witnessing and self-transformation that they generate. These three films produced by Prabhat Studios between the years 1936 and 1940 and all directed by Vishnupant Damle and Syed Fattelal, drew upon the powerful anti-hierarchical traditions of Bhakti, devotional worship that circumvented Brahmanical forms. This article will argue that the devotional film crucially undertakes a work of transformation in the perspectives on property, and that in this engagement it particularly reviews the status of the household in its bid to generate a utopian model of unbounded community. The article will also consider the status of technologies of the miraculous that are among the central attractions of the genre, and afford a reflection on the relation between cinema technology, popular religious belief and desire, and film spectatorship.

This study explored the underlying processes associated with the policy of increasing qualified physical education teachers (QPETs) in Singapore primary schools. Data were collected from the National Archives of Singapore, Newslink, NewpaperSG and documents. An ‘archaeological analysis’ by Foucault (1972) was used to trace the discursive conditions which enabled and facilitated the policy. Three distinct elements were borrowed from ‘The Archaeology of Knowledge and the Discourse on Language’, namely: the status – as reflected in the positions of individuals influencing the PE policies and initiatives; the institutional sites – as in the locations of the decisions being exercised, and; the situation – identified by the key events leading to the decision to increase QPETs in primary schools. The conclusions based on the analysis of these elements offer a clearer understanding of the various contributions to the adoption of the policy and serve to provide an insightful lens to policymakers who might seek to redesign the future shape of Physical Education.
