The Perception of Psychosis among Young Adults in Southeast Asia: A Singaporean Perspective
Pawel D. Mankiewicz,Wing S. Kam 한국상담학회 2024 Journal of Asia Pacific counseling Vol.14 No.1
Psychosis is a complex mental health condition that may involve experiences of hallucinations, delusional beliefs, high levels of emotional distress, and considerable disruption to daily life. Individuals with this condition experience greater levels of public stigmatisation and discrimination compared to other mental health difficulties. Particularly in collectivistic Asian cultures, those with psychosis often experience social exclusion and internalized shame. To explore the specificity of psychosis-related attitudes in Southeast Asia, this study investigated the perception of such conditions among young adults in Singapore. Qualitative methodology was employed and semi-structured interviews were conducted with study participants. Verbatim data were analysed using inductive thematic analysis embedded in a transparent reflexive approach. Five superordinate themes emerged, as follows: individual perceptions of people with psychosis, social attitudes and behavior towards people with psychosis, individual reactions towards psychosis, perceived causes of psychosis, and sources of knowledge about psychosis. Cultural implications are discussed and practical indications for counsellors are also considered.

This paper presents a possible diagnostic method to be applied in the grinding process using the acoustic emission signal (AE) and image analysis. The applied method of the experimental results in computer analysis using the system of tracking changes occurring within the image, as well as the experimental results obtained for single-pass internal cylindrical grinding in steel 100Cr6 described in the work. The experimental results acquired roved that the proposed method enables the detection of signs of wear on the grinding wheel active surface components, during the machining process, as well as allowing for the assessment of their influence on grinding power and workpiece surface roughness parameters. The described method of analysing the AE signal features using such a visual method complement the usual procedures used in these type of the monitoring systems. The proposed solution is far easier to implement in production conditions as it takes place on the program level of such systems and does not interfere with the equipment architecture.

Although rutabaga (Brassica napus L. var. napobrassica) is a popular crop, especially in North Europe and North America, its sprouts are a new kind of vegetable. Rutabaga roots, and particularly sprouts, have not been investigated so far for antioxidant and anticancer effect on human tumor cells (Hep G2). Therefore, in vitro tests were conducted to find out whether rutabaga seeds, roots, and sprouts exert a cytotoxic effect on mammalian cells and combine them with other biological properties of particular parts of the plant. Rutabaga methanol extracts were measured for total phenolic, total flavonoid concentrations, and total antioxidant activity. Cytotoxicity of the investigated extracts was measured using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay in Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO-K1) and Hep G2 cells culture. Cell membrane integrity was assessed in CHO-K1 and Hep G2 cells by luminescence ToxiLight BioAssay. The results of the investigation have shown that sprouts have significantly higher antioxidant activity than seeds and roots, which may result from different contents of polyphenols. Rutabaga extracts (especially 8 day sprouts) inhibited the tumor cell line Hep G2 proliferation and had a slight effect on the normal mammalian CHO-K1 culture. An advanced analysis of previously observed morphological changes and cytotoxic properties demonstrated that the evaluated extracts exerted cell death via apoptosis. These findings strongly suggest that one of the biological activities of rutabaga is antiproliferative and proapoptotic potential specific to tumor cells. The obtained results demonstrate the antioxidant property of rutabaga and its potential as a nutritional supplement in cancer prevention. These findings also strongly advocate the application of rutabaga sprouts (especially harvested in conditions presented in this article) in functional food.

International fragmentation of production has become an inherent feature of contemporary international trade and investment. The development of global value chains (GVC) causes modifications in the international division of labor, leading to changes in the involvement of developed, developing and emerging economies. The author of the study focuses on three Asian countries: China, Japan and the Republic of Korea, and their involvement in the processes of international fragmentation of production. Using a new method of measuring trade by valueadded, the following analysis includes trade flows, trade balance and the revealed comparative advantage(s) of the identified countries between the years 1995-2009.

Purpose The study investigated whether a replacement of neutrophil count and platelet count by neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) within the International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium (IMDC) model would improve its prognostic accuracy. Materials and Methods This retrospective analysis included consecutive patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with first-line tyrosine kinase inhibitors. The IMDC and modified-IMDC models were compared using: concordance index (CI), bias-corrected concordance index (BCCI), calibration plots, the Grønnesby and Borgan test, Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), generalized R2, Integrated Discrimination Improvement (IDI), and continuous Net Reclassification Index (cNRI) for individual risk factors and the three risk groups. Results Three hundred and twenty-one patients were eligible for analyses. The modified-IMDC model with NLR value of 3.6 and PLR value of 157 was selected for comparison with the IMDC model. Both models were well calibrated. All other measures favoured the modified-IMDC model over the IMDC model (CI, 0.706 vs. 0.677; BCCI, 0.699 vs. 0.671; BIC, 2,176.2 vs. 2,190.7; generalized R2, 0.238 vs. 0.202; IDI, 0.044; cNRI, 0.279 for individual risk factors; and CI, 0.669 vs. 0.641; BCCI, 0.669 vs. 0.641; BIC, 2,183.2 vs. 2,198.1; generalized R2, 0.163 vs. 0.123; IDI, 0.045; cNRI, 0.165 for the three risk groups). Conclusion Incorporation of NLR and PLR in place of neutrophil count and platelet count improved prognostic accuracy of the IMDC model. These findings require external validation before introducing into clinical practice.
