Background. Mental disorders are a form of deviant behavior patterns that occur in individuals and result in discomfort, stress pressure, body dysfunction, decreased quality of life, and their role in society. Treatment and care must be carried out continuously to prevent recurrence so that the patient can live their life. The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between knowledge and family support with medication adherence in people with mental disorders at the Sanur health center. Research Method. This study used a cross-sectional approach. Using Kendall's Tau bivariate test. The sampling technique used was total sampling with a sample of 33 respondents. The variables are knowledge, family support, and the use of the MMAS instrument. Findings. The results of the analysis showed a relationship between knowledge and adherence to taking medication, which had a significance value of 0.044 < 0.05 and had a correlation coefficient value of 0.334. There is a relationship between family support and medication adherence, which has a significance value of 0.016 and has a correlation coefficient value of 0.407. While the closeness of the relationship shows that the variables of family support and knowledge have a correlation coefficient of 0.407, the knowledge variable has a correlation coefficient value of 0.334. Which means that the two variables have a strong, close relationship. Conclusion. There is a relationship between knowledge and family support with adherence to taking medication in people with mental disorders at the Sanur health center, Nunukan Regency, North Kalimantan.

The temperature of the human body can fluctuate depending on environmental conditions, particularly the surrounding room temperature. To maintain comfort, a cooling device capable of providing adequate airflow is required, and one commonly used solution is an electric fan. This study focuses on designing and implementing an automatic fan system controlled by an Arduino Uno microcontroller and a DHT11 temperature sensor. The system is programmed to activate the fan automatically when the detected room temperature exceeds a predetermined threshold. In the design phase, the Arduino Uno functions as the core controller due to its ability to process sensor input and manage hardware operations efficiently. The DHT11 sensor measures both temperature and humidity, transmitting the data to the microcontroller, which then delivers a control signal to the relay module. Following the design stage, system implementation is carried out using the C++ programming language through the Arduino IDE. The program continuously reads temperature values from the DHT11 sensor, enabling real-time decision-making. When the temperature reaches the specified limit, the microcontroller triggers the relay, causing the fan to operate automatically. The results of this study show that the fan responds accurately to temperature changes, providing a practical automatic cooling solution.

Helen Goodman, the Member of Parliament for Bishop Auckland has responded to the Blue Labour Publication The Politics of Paradox, with Tradition and Change: Four People. Blue Labour's thesis is that a return to the ideas and practices prevalent at the foundation of the Labour Party—solidarity and reciprocity, can form the basis of significant social change. Helen views the thesis from the perspective of two communities—first the hill farmers of Teesdale, a paradigmatic community whose rights and way of life on the Commons have existed for over 600 years. Then she looks at the Durham Miners’ Gala and the needs of the former coalfields. Helen argues that in both cases, only government can take the national and international action they need. Secondly she looks at the stories of a mother and a priest. The importance of the welfare state in providing security and opportunities becomes clear. Helen confronts Blue Labour's criticism of women's independence and prays in aid the Archbishop of Canterbury on the need for a feminist analysis. She accuses Blue Labour of ‘drum and trumpet jingoism’.

Introduction: Morphine administration using patient controlled analgesia (PCA) for treatment of post surgical and traumatic pain has been a current practice in many hospitals. However, large or repeated doses of this opioid are associated to dose dependent adverse events, including, respiratory depression. Considering patients submitted to thoracic surgery, in addition to the postoperatory analgesia, two other relevant parameters must be considered: regional anesthesia (intrathecal) in the intra-operatory period, which should contribute to the respiratory function improvement and decrease in the extubation time; and the cardiopulmonary bypass (OPCAB), that potentially alters the drugs' kinetics. Objectives: To investigate the influence of intrathecal morphine administration and cardiopulmonary bypass (OPCAB) in the morphine PCA drug requirements, area under the curve of morphine plasma concentration versus time and pain scores in the postoperative period, and to choose a pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic model to correlate these variables. In addition, an analytical method was developed to quantify morphine in plasma. Methods: 59 patients submitted to elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with (CPB) and without cardiopulmonary bypass (OPCAB), with and without intrathecal morphine in the intra-operative period were distributed by the combination of the above mentioned interventions. In the postoperative period, all the patients were given an IV bolus of 1mg of morphine, and then PCA device was installed in the intensive care unit by a venous catheter after the orotracheal extubation. Morphine PCA was delivered on demand (boluses of 1 mg), lock-out of 5 min until 36 hours of the postoperative period. A serial of blood samples were collected from venous catheter of patients at the postoperative period (3,6,12,18,24,36 hrs) and morphine plasma concentrations were determined by Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry ((LC-MS/MS ESI+)) after the purification of plasma samples. Pain scores were monitored during the same period by a visual analogue scale, VAS or 1-2-3 pain scale. PK-PD modeling was investigated by applying the GraphPad Prism 5.0. Results: Drug dose requirements and analgesia were significant different in patients of groups investigated. E MAX model and the hysteresis curve were proposed by PK-PD modeling to correlate drug requirements and AUC 0-36 or VAS. Conclusions: LC-MS/MS (ESI+) method was adequate for drug measurements in plasma. Morphine dose requirements and analgesia were different by comparison of groups. Lower doses of morphine by PCA were required for the groups that have received intrathecal morphine intraoperatively. It was demonstrated a non linear correlation between parameters by E MAX model when drug requirements and AUC0-36 were plotted, and the hysteresis curve was obtained when analgesia dose requirements was plotted against pain score.

PurposeThe Scottish Parliament Information Centre (SPICe) was created at the end of the 20th century to meet the needs of the new Scottish Parliament. With the opportunity to start afresh, this paper seeks to analyse the most important elements on which new services were based.Design/methodology/approachA discursive account giving a general overview.FindingsLibrary and information services increasingly face the challenge of justifying the value they are adding to their organisation. Experience showed the following requirements to be crucial factors in achieving this goal: the need to align your service with the objectives of your organisation, the need to build and maintain your credibility and the need to meet your customers face to face.Research limitations/implicationsThis narrative approach provides material for further research and more theoretical analysis of the relationship between government and its supporting information services.Originality/valueThere are so few examples of establishing new parliamentary information services that this analysis of the initial and continuing challenges involved in creating such a service is uniquely instructive.

This article describes the processes followed in deciding whether to index the proceedings and publications of the Scottish Parliament. The methods chosen once the decision to index was taken are outlined, along with a discussion of the reality now that the parliament exists and there is material to index. The article concludes by discussing the challenges of organizing and providing subject access to this information and possible future developments.
