Abstract:

Orphans represent a significant population worldwide, and orphan homes are responsible for providing support for holistic development in the lives of children. The purpose of the study was to investigate the psychological, social, and educational challenges faced by orphan children in orphan homes. The theoretical framework of the current study was based on the Attachment Theory by Bowlby, which states how early caregiver relationships influence the psychological, social, and educational development of orphan children in orphan homes. All of the orphan children in SOS Children Village district Sargodha made up the population of the current study. A sample of 206 orphan children was selected randomly from SOS Children Village district Sargodha. Reliable data were gathered using a quantitative survey study design, and the instrument's reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's Alpha, which was found to be 0.89. The obtained data were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviations, frequency percentages, and inferential statistics, for instance, the t-test. The results showed that gender was found to be significant regarding psychological, social, and educational challenges. In addition, female orphan children have a greater mean score as compared to males concerning psychological and social challenges. While, concerning educational challenges male orphans have a greater mean score as compared to female orphan children. However, to overcome these challenges it is suggested that it is essential to create efficient programs that can recognize and tackle the emotional, social, and academic difficulties orphaned children confront.

Abstract:

Wellbeing of an orphan caregiver affects the child-rearing practice, which in turn could affect the growth and development of the orphaned child. Challenges faced by women orphan caregivers make caring a more extraneous task. A qualitative study was designed, to investigate the challenges faced by women orphan caregivers. Data was collected from SOS children village, an internationally recognized orphanage located in Karachi, Pakistan. An open ended interview was conducted with 17 women orphan caregivers employed at the organization through interview schedule. Various themes were identified. Two major themes indicating challenges were identified; professional or organizational level and personal level that were further divided in sub themes and analyzed. Results indicated that caregivers themselves were abandoned and suffered from psychological disturbances and lacked in awareness of effective coping skills. Orphan caregivers faced distress due to inability to effectively handle hectic routine at the orphanage, low salary, and lack of knowledge and skill to address diverse needs of all children. Overall, caring for orphans is a challenging job and it is recommended that orphan caregivers are provided with professional support to cope with psychological issues; and training on caregiving knowledge and skills to effectively handle children with diverse needs. This could eventually help in improving wellbeing of the caregivers and enhancing overall development of the orphans.

Abstract:

Existing behavioral studies have suggested that individuals with early life stress usually show abnormal emotional processing. However, limited event-related brain potentials (ERPs) evidence was available to explore the emotional processes in children orphaned by parental HIV/AIDS (“AIDS orphans”). The current study aims to investigate whether there are behavioral and neurological obstacles in the recognition of emotional faces in AIDS orphans and also to further explore the processing stage at which the difference in facial emotion recognition exists. A total of 81 AIDS orphans and 60 non-orphan children were recruited through the local communities and school systems in Henan, China. Participants completed a computer version of the rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) task while recording ERPs. Behavioral results showed that orphans displayed higher response accuracy and shorter reaction time than the control (ps < 0.05). As for the ERPs analysis, the attenuated amplitude of N170 (i.e., an early component sensitive to facial configuration) was observed in AIDS orphans compared to the non-orphan control with happy and neutral faces; P300 (i.e., an endogenous component for affective valence evaluation in emotional processing) also showed significant differences in parietal lobe between groups, the non-orphan control group produced larger P300 amplitudes than orphans (p < 0.05). The results suggested that compared to the control group, AIDS orphans showed impaired facial emotion recognition ability with reduced brain activation.

Abstract:

An orphan is a term used to refer to someone who has been left by their parents while still underage. Providing support for orphans is a commendable activity. Supporting orphans has many virtues, as stated in the following Hadith: Narrated by Abu Ya'la and Thobrani, Shahih At Targhib Al Albani: "Whoever includes an orphan among two Muslim parents in their meals and drinks, providing for their needs, will surely enter Paradise.". The first step in supporting orphans is to find them. Searching for orphan data is difficult to accomplish if we rely solely on manual data collection. Sometimes the obtained data does not match the desired requirements. To help facilitate this step, an information system for managing orphan data is created. The aim is to simplify the management of orphan data and assist the community in searching for orphan data. The development of this orphan data management information system utilizes the waterfall method, which includes the stages of analysis, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance using the Laravel framework. The result of this research is a web-based information system for managing orphan data, with a case study in Karangsari Village, Kalimanah, Purbalingga Regency.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to inspect the potential mediation pathways among emotional empathy, personality traits and coping strategies in orphan and non-orphan students. Additionally, it designed to investigate the association of coping strategies with emotional empathy and personality traits. Design/methodology/approach Purposive sampling technique and cross-sectional design were employed in current study. The data of 130 adolescents (institutionalized orphans, n= 62; school students, n=68) were included from different high schools and orphanages of Rawalpindi and Islamabad, Pakistan, in 2017. Three instruments, emotional empathy scale (Mehrabian and Epstein, 1972; Shazia, 2004), coping of problem experience (Carver, 1989; Akhtar, 2005), and Eysenck personality questionnaire (Naqvi and Kamal, 2010; Eysenck, 1964; Eysenck and Eysenck, 1994), were employed to measure personality traits, emotional empathy and coping strategies in orphan and non-orphan students. Findings Mediation analyses illustrated that personality traits relegated active avoidance coping strategy through emotional empathy in orphan students. On contrary, the study findings demonstrated that neurotic personality promoted positive coping strategy through emotional empathy in non-orphan students. Research limitations/implications The methodological limitations of this study are that the sample is of 130 participants that limits the generalizability of its results; furthermore, it was done on only the male orphans students of only one institute. Further research can be done on different orphanages to enhance the generalizability of results. This study included orphan and non-orphan students from the two cities of Pakistan; consequently, its findings may not be generalizable to the whole population. In the future, cross-sectional and experimental researches working with more assorted data could help elucidate the mechanisms by which interpersonal factors affect and stimulate coping strategies in orphans and high school students. Practical implications This paper exposes a number of ways for upcoming future studies. This study findings can be employed to enhance knowledge and offer assistance for orphans, on how to identify and get help from coping resources to tackle various problems and how to build new psychological preventions and interventions strategies in the Pakistani society. There still exists a need to find out the effect of emotion, empathy on personality types in relation to different environmental conditions. The findings have implications for pedagogical intervention as such improvements can be initiated in the pedagogical context. Social implications This study comprised only orphan and non-orphan students from two twin cities of Pakistan; consequently, its findings may not be applicable to the whole population. In future, cross-sectional and experimental researches with more assorted data will assist clarify the mechanism that interpersonal factors affect and stimulate coping strategies in high school students. Originality/value Study findings proposed that coping strategies can be promoted by interpersonal factors such as personality traits and empathy to tackle different orphan’s psychological problem in various negative situation.

Abstract:

Background: Orphan-hood is a stage that includes numerous mental and emotional problems. Lack of control on emotions puts orphans at risk of uneasiness. The aim of this study was to see the relationship between anger expressions on mental wellbeing and emotional expressions of orphans and non-orphans. Methods: This was a cross-sectional survey conducted from April to June 2021. Data were collected from the orphan and non-orphan adolescent students aged 13–19 years, studying in different institutes of Haripur, Pakistan. After informed consent, State Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI), Short Warwick Edinburg Well-being Scale (SWEMWBS), and Emotional expressivity questionnaires were self-administered by authors and analysed on SPSS-20. Result: Sample size was 200 orphan and non-orphan adolescent students, with equal proportion of males and females. Anger expression was positively linked with emotional expressivity (r=0.29, p<0.001), and anger expression was negatively linked with mental wellbeing (r= -0.45, p<0.001). Orphan students scored high on anger expression (27.62±5.4) and emotional expressivity (55.28±5.79) as compare to non-orphans (23.59±5.79 and 53.31±5.99 respectively). Conclusion: Anger expression is positively linked with emotional expressivity and negatively linked with mental wellbeing. Girls are shyer to express their feelings compared to boys. Boys are more engaged in verbal and physical aggression than girls. Orphan boys show more aggression because they face a lot of adjustment and many other difficulties in institutions.

Abstract:

Introduction: The word orphan comes from the Greek word ‘Orfanos’ and refers to a child permanently bereaved of or abandoned by his or her parents. Methods: A non-experimental descriptive comparative design has been adopted for the present study. The sample of the present study comprises orphan children residing in an orphanage and non-orphan children residing in selected areas of Bagalkot. The sample comprised 30 orphans and 30 non-orphans aged between 10 and 16 years. The data were collected by using self-report, structured closed-ended questionnaires for socio-demographic variables of children, self-administered WHO Quality of life BREF scale, and PSS stress scale. The data obtained were analysed with the help of descriptive and inferential statistics. Result: Findings related to the comparison between the level of stress among the orphan and non-orphan children revealed that majority of orphan children (76.66%) had about moderate stress, 23.33% of the orphan children had high stress, and none of the children had a low level of stress, whereas among non-orphan children, majority (90%) had moderate stress, 10% had low level stress, and none of them had high level stress. The findings related to the comparison of levels of quality of life among the orphan and non-orphan children reveal that a high percentage of orphan children (66.66%) had a moderate quality of life and some of them (33.33%) had a poor quality of life, whereas a high number of non-orphan children (66.66%) had a very good quality of life and some (33.33%) had a good quality of life. No significant association was found between the quality of life and stress scores with the socio-demographic variables of orphan and non-orphan children. Conclusion: The study concluded that orphan children need to improve their quality of life and decrease their level of stress.

Abstract:

Background: Malnutrition is considered a complicated public health issue and depends on multiple factors. Hygienic behavior is related to orphan children’s growth, nutritional outcomes, and sound health. The study’s aim was to assess the hygiene behaviors and nutritional status of orphan students in Bangladesh. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted in three orphanage centers. A total of 120 respondents were interviewed. A descriptive analysis of the collected data was performed. Results: The monthly mean and median expenditure of orphans was 2000±475 BDT (20$). The number of toilets and waiting time for the orphan to use them are closely associated (χ2= 33.38; Cramer’s V=0.44, df=13; Sig; p<0.001). On average, an orphan waits 32.20 minutes to use the toilet facility when they need it. Orphan family income and disposal of waste in the toilet of the orphan center are strongly associated (χ2=99.19; Cramer’s V=0.49, df=39; Sig; p<0.001). There was a significant association between attending toilet-related hygiene and types of diseases. Hair fall, muscle wasting, fever, and xerosis of the skin were common diseases among orphans. Types of diseases orphans and schedule for the dietary chart are strongly associated (χ2=23.35; Cramer’s V=0.37, df=24; Sig; p<0.001). Conclusions: Integrated approach is required to counter the extent of malnutrition among orphans. Teachers of orphanages should receive proper training so that they are able to take care of the physical and mental health of the orphan children.

Abstract:

The neuropeptide nociceptin/orphanin FQ (OFQ) was recently identified as the endogenous agonist of the orphan opioid receptor ORL₁. In this thesis pharmacological studies on the ORL₁ receptor were advanced by the comparison of the potencies and efficacies of several ligands at the rat ORL₁ receptor stably transfected into chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, with those at the native receptor in the central (frontal cortex) and peripheral (anococcygeus muscle) nervous systems. Most notably, the work involved a close examination of the pharmacology of the first selective non-peptide antagonist for the ORL₁ receptor, J-113397, and in this case the work extended to the use of in-vivo techniques measuring effects on locomotor activity and food consumption. The work on the pharmacology of the ORL₁ receptor in the anococcygeus followed our discovery of the presence of the receptor in this tissue. Under conditions where electrical-field stimulation produced a selective activation of the sympathetic nerves, nociceptin/OFQ fully inhibited the pure adrenergic motor response. The hexapeptides Ac-RYYRWK-NH₂ (RWK) and Ac-RYYRIK-NH₂ (RIK) were potent partial-agonists whereas [Phe¹ψ(CH₂-NH)Gly²]nociceptin(1-13)NH₂ (FGNC13) and J-113397 had little or no efficacy and were competitive antagonists. This thesis reflects on the various pharmacological actions of nociceptin/OFQ, concentrating on establishing discriminatory effects for selected compounds and possible functional role of the ORL₁ receptor in the brain.

Abstract:

Carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP) is an intriguing clinical finding that is defined as biopsy-proven metastasis from a malignancy in the absence of an identifiable primary site after a complete clinical work-up. CUP is a relatively common clinical entity, accounting for approximately 3–5% of all cancer diagnoses, and consists of a heterogeneous group of tumors that have acquired the capacity to metastasize before the development of a clinically evident primary lesion. Notable advances have been made over the past years in the treatment of well-defined clinical subgroups of CUP, such as women with peritoneal carcinomatosis and young adults with poorly differentiated carcinomas of midline distribution, but for the majority of patients, the prognosis still remains poor. In this review, we highlight recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with CUP syndrome, and emphasize the importance of identifying several favorable subsets of CUP, amenable to specific treatment options. In addition, we will point out novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches which will hopefully improve both our understanding and the prognosis of this more or less neglected disease

Wir berichten im weiteren Verlauf dieser Übersichtsarbeit über Fortschritte in der Diagnostik und Therapie von Patienten mit CUPSyndrom und weisen darauf hin, dass es trotz der immer noch sehr schlechten Prognose von großer Bedeutung ist, Patienten mit bestimmten Subtypen des CUP-Syndroms zu identifizieren, die spezifischen Therapien mit der Option auf Heilung zugeführt werden sollten.

Abstract:

Background. Unfortunately, according to the Ministry of Social Policy, as of 2022, there were almost 70,000 orphans and children deprived of parental care in Ukraine, and about 10,000 children become orphans every year. Knowing that we are now living in a difficult time, a time of war, we understand that the number of orphans and children deprived of parental care will increase even more, so the state must provide every child with the necessary protection and care that is necessary for their well-being, taking into account her guardians or other persons responsible to her by law, and to this end take all appropriate measures to give the child the opportunity to develop comprehensively and adapt to life in society. Purpose: determine the specifics of providing state social assistance to orphans and children deprived of parental care. Methods: method of analysis, synthesis, comparative method and generalization, analysis of documents. Results: Depending on the form of state social assistance provided to orphans and children deprived of parental care, they can be divided into: 1) state social assistance provided in cash (full state support, scholarship, special scholarships, assistance for orphans and children deprived of parental care, reimbursement of daily expenses during vacations, one-time monetary assistance for graduates, etc.); 2) state social benefits provided in kind (housing, etc.). 3) Social patronage and social support as the main forms of social assistance to orphans and children deprived of parental care. Conclusion: state social assistance for children is awarded in monetary form to foster parents for each foster child and to adoptive parents for each adopted child, and in accordance with the legislation, the amount of state social assistance for an orphan child or a child deprived of parental care is 2.5 subsistence minimums for children of the appropriate age, for children with disabilities - 3.5 subsistence minimums. Keywords: an orphan child; children deprived of parental care; social patronage; social support.

Abstract:

Orphan wastes have properties preventing them from being managed according to existing or currently planned management routes, or lack characterisation so that their management is uncertain. The identification of new management opportunities for orphan wastes could realise significant benefits by reducing the number of processing facilities required, reducing waste volumes, reducing hazard or leading to the development of centres of excellence for the processing of certain types of orphan wastes. Information on the characteristics of orphan waste existing at nuclear licensed sites across the UK has been collated and a database developed to act as a repository for the information gathered. The database provides a capability to analyse the data and to explore possible treatment technologies for each orphan waste type. Thirty five distinct orphan waste types have been defined and possible treatment options considered. Treatment technologies (including chemical, high temperature, immobilisation and physical technologies) that could be applied to one or more of the generic orphan waste streams have been identified. Wiring diagrams have been used to highlight the waste treatment / lifecycle management options that are available for each of the generic orphan groups as well as identifying areas for further research and development. This work has identified the potential for optimising the management of orphan wastes in a number of areas, and many potential opportunities were identified. Such opportunities could be investigated by waste managers at waste producing nuclear sites, to facilitate the development of new management routes for orphan wastes.
