17079R3m-3 An Exploratory Study of Grief Reactions, Coping, and Post-Traumatic Growth in Muslim Adults Who Lost a Parent During Adolescence
No full textThe loss of a parent during adolescence can have a profound and lasting impact, particularly when it intersects with cultural, religious, and developmental factors. This qualitative study explored the reaction to loss, coping strategies, and post-traumatic growth among six participants—Muslim adults who experienced parental loss during adolescence. Using a phenomenological approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted to capture their lived experiences. Thematic analysis revealed four major categories: reaction to loss, coping strategies, post-traumatic growth, and the continuing grief process. Initial responses included shock, emotional withdrawal, and delayed grief that surfaced later in adulthood. Coping strategies varied across emotion-focused, maladaptive, religious, and problem-focused responses, shaped by socio-cultural and spiritual influences. Emotion-focused coping, particularly thought suppression, helped participants maintain daily functioning but sometimes hindered emotional processing. Religious practices provided meaning and stability, although some participants experienced religiously framed guilt. Despite these challenges, many reported growths in areas such as emotional strength, spirituality, and life purpose. The findings also highlighted that grief was not fully resolved over time. Instead, it resurfaced during major life events, reflecting the non-linear and enduring nature of loss. This study underscores the need for culturally sensitive grief interventions that address both the immediate emotional needs and the long-term psychological journeys of bereaved Muslim youth. It also emphasizes the significance of religious meaning-making and familial dynamics in shaping grief trajectories and post-traumatic growth. Future research should examine these themes in broader cultural contexts to inform more inclusive models of bereavement support
17097 The Effect of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Based Chatbot in Alleviating Stress Among Non-Working Haousewives
No full textNon-working housewives often face significant stress due to various social personal, and financial challenges, yet they typically lack access to adequate mental health support. This condition underscores the need for accessible and effective mental health interventions. One potential solution is the use of AI-based mental health applications, such as Stresslez.id, which aim to assist users in managing stress independently. This study aimed to examine the effect of using the AI-based chatbot application, Stresslez.id, on the stress levels of non-working housewives in Bekasi City. An experimental design was employed involving two groups: an experimental group using the application and a control group with no intervention. A total of 42 participants were assessed using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales 21 (DASS-21). The Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test in the experimental group yielded a p-value of 0.363 (p > 0.05), indicating no significant change in stress levels. Similarly, the Mann-Whitney Test for post-test results between groups showed a p-value of 0.685 (p > 0.05), indicating no significant difference. Despite the lack of statistical significance, a reduction in stress levels was observed in the experimental group. These findings suggest that AI-based applications have potential as supportive tools for stress management in non-working housewives
17108R3m-6 Fear of Self-Compassion Mediates Insecure Attachment and Distress in Malaysian Youth: Gender as Moderator
No full textThis study investigated whether fear of self-compassion mediates the relationship between insecure attachment and psychological distress among Malaysian young adults, and whether gender moderates these associations. The objective was to examine fear of self-compassion as an underlying psychological mechanism linking attachment insecurity to mental health outcomes, and to explore gender-based variations in this process. Fear of self-compassion has been associated with insecure attachment, particularly anxious and avoidant styles, stemming from early adverse experiences and feelings of unworthiness. It is also linked to heightened psychological distress, although such associations may vary across clinical and cultural contexts. A total of 272 purposively selected participants (136 males, 136 females), aged 15 to 40 years, completed the Attachment Style Questionnaire–Short Form, the Fear of Compassion Scale–Self-Compassion, and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale–10. Due to violations of normality, nonparametric analyses and mediation models using the PROCESS macro were employed. Insecure attachment was positively correlated with fear of self-compassion (ρ = .33, p < .001), aligning with theoretical expectations. However, fear of self-compassion (ρ = –.53, p < .001) and insecure attachment (ρ = –.39, p < .001) were negatively correlated with psychological distress, findings that diverged from theoretical assumptions. These unexpected patterns may reflect sociocultural factors influencing emotional expression and help-seeking behaviours, including a tendency to minimize distress or internalize symptoms in self-reporting. Mediation analysis revealed that fear of self-compassion partially mediated the insecure attachment–distress link (b = –0.14, 95% CI [–0.21, –0.08]). Gender significantly moderated both pathways, with stronger effects observed among females, further supporting gender-sensitive interventions in Malaysia
17109 -2 The Role of Self-Disclosure in Enhancing Psychological Well-Being among Generation Z
No full textGeneration Z, as active users of social media, tend to engage in self-disclosure during their online interactions. Self-disclosure is a form of interpersonal communication in which individuals reveal personal information about themselves to others through social media platforms. By disclosing themselves, individuals often receive emotional support from others, which is an important factor in psychological well-being. Expressing thoughts and feelings on social media helps individuals regulate their emotions and prevents the buildup of stress. Positive responses received from self-disclosure can also enhance self-acceptance. This study aims to examine the effect of self-disclosure on psychological well-being among Generation Z in Jakarta. The research involved 112 respondents selected through non-probability sampling techniques. The instruments used were the Ryff Scales of Psychological Well-Being (RSPWB) and the Revised Self-Disclosure Scale (RSDS). Data were analyzed using a simple linear regression method. The results indicate that self-disclosure has a significant positive effect on psychological well-being, with significant correlations found in several dimensions. In conclusion, higher levels of self-disclosure are associated with higher levels of psychological well-being among Generation Z. These findings suggest that psychological well-being can be improved through open communication within trusted social environments; however, individuals should remain mindful of the ethics and boundaries regarding the personal information they choose to share
In Vitro Screening of Anti-Viral and Virucidal Effects Against SARS-CoV-2 by Phenylamino-Phenoxy-Quinoline Derivatives: An Integrative Computational Approach
Full text linkThis study investigated the binding interactions between three groups of 2,4-disubstituted phenylamino-phenoxyquinoline derivatives 1-3(a-d) and four readily available drugs (ritonavir, ensitrelvir, nirmatrelvir, and paxlovid) with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) using cytotoxicity, virucidal activity testing, molecular docking, and molecular dynamic methods. Between the concentration range of 500 to 31.25 µg/mL, 1-3(a-d) demonstrated that none of the investigated substances had any harmful effects on Vero E6 cells. The virucidal activity testing demonstrated that ritonavir, ensitrelvir, nirmatrelvir, paxlovid, and 3c had log reduction values ranging from 2.99 to 3.50 when treated with concentrations between 62.5 to 125 µg/mL. Ritonavir and 3c had exceptional log reduction values that surpassed those of the other substances examined. 3c exhibited the highest log reduction value when compared to the other 2,4-disubstituted quinoline derivatives evaluated at the same concentration. The molecular docking approach revealed that all analyzed compounds interacted with the active site of the SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro) through hydrogen bonds and π-sulfur interactions. Furthermore, molecular dynamics simulations, combined with binding free energy calculations using MM-PBSA and MM-GBSA techniques, demonstrated the binding free energy of Mpro-ensitrelvir and Mpro-3c was greater than that of Mpro-1a. To validate our computational results, we conducted Mpro inhibitor screening assay. The analysis was confirmed that compound 3c exhibits strong inhibitory activity (IC50 = 2.71 μM), consistent with our virucidal testing and computational approaches. The results emphasize the potential of 2,4-disubstituted quinoline derivatives as promising candidates for inhibiting SARS-CoV-2. This provides crucial insights for developing effective antiviral drugs

No full textThe number of social media users has increased in the recent years especially in the surge of COVID-19 pandemic. It became an instant savior when strict social distancing and lockdowns were implemented globally, offering a way of people to stay connected and informed during the challenging times. This scoping review aims to determine the factors associated with social media dependence among college students. The scoping review was guided by PRISMA-ScR and PICo method while Google Scholar and PubMed was used in order to collect the articles. A total of 54 articles were included in the review based on the set criteria. Majority of the research articles utilized cross-sectional in quantitative type. China on the other hand dominated the most published research from 2020 to 2024 with 2020 having the highest number of published research where COVID-19 is on rise. There were 16 categories and 53 subcategories on the factors associated with social media dependence. Among the listed categories, well-being ranked first with mental health, depression, psychological well-being, subjective well-being, and self-esteem as subcategories. Other associated factors are anxiety, stress-related condition, academics, support, sleep, behavioral addiction, behavioral issues, social dynamics, decision-making, self-regulation and motivation, digital dependency, body image, socio-demographic characteristics, other positive emotion, and other negative emotions. With the listed factors, it was found out that positive and negative effect of social media are present. Thus, this calls for medical and public awareness to propose a program on how to properly manage social media use to lessen its negative impact on person’s life. Mental health professionals should concentrate on the risk factors to make preventive measures on its potential negative outcomes

(This study aims to examine user behavior, analyze problems and obstacles, and propose effective communication strategies for the use of the LINE application within the Faculty of Engineering at Kamphaeng Saen. A structural equation model (SEM) was employed, with data collected from 151 faculty members through a questionnaire. The model demonstrated a good fit with the empirical data, with a relative chi-square of 1.85, RMSEA of 0.07, and RMR of 0.10. The findings reveal that factors contributing to acceptance and readiness to use LINE for internal communication include perceived usefulness, enjoyment, and information accuracy (0.56, t = 11.38). However, convenience-related factors such as usefulness and enjoyment (0.11, t = 1.66), as well as privacy concerns and limited understanding of LINE (0.55, t = 6.57), pose obstacles to effective data management and appropriate communication timing. Privacy concerns and insufficient understanding of the application were also found to negatively influence acceptance and readiness (-0.11, t = -3.40). To improve communication efficiency, the study highlights the importance of providing training and user-friendly guidelines to enhance understanding and appropriate usage. Establishing clear communication policies is also essential to ensure a balance between work and personal life. Encouraging engagement through participatory activities can help foster awareness of the application's benefits and increase user enjoyment. Additionally, continuous evaluation of communication practices is recommended to align strategies with users’ needs. Cultivating an organizational culture that values effective communication—supported by leadership serving as role models—can promote a system that respects privacy, strengthens collaboration, and enhances overall operational efficiency within the faculty.
Inhibitory Effects of Mulberry (Morus alba) Ethanolic Extract on Streptococcus mutans Biofilm Formation
Full text linkObjectives: To evaluate the susceptibility of S. mutans (ATCC 25175) and three S. mutans clinical isolates from Thai children to three concentration of mulberry extract and to analyze the inhibition effect on biofilm of each strain using confocal scanning electron microscopy (CLSM).
Materials and Methods: Obtained S. mutans clinical isolates from children (aged 3.5-10-years) who came to the Pediatric Dental Clinic, Faculty of Dentistry, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok. Three concentration of mulberry extract were tested (125, 250, 500 mg/ml). The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) were carried out. Incubated all S. mutans strains for 5 and 10 hours to form biofilm suitable for the susceptibility tests. The biofilm inhibition effect of mulberry extract also further evaluated using CLSM. Data was expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD). The Kruskal-Wallis Test was used to compare the experimental and control groups (significance at 95%).
Results: The MIC of mulberry extract was not able to visualize due to the darkness of the solution and precipitations. The MBC were in the range of 125-500 mg/ml. All strains tested were sensitive to all mulberry extract concentrations (> 99.88%) when compared to the controls. All strains pre form biofilm at 5 and 10 hours were inhibited after 5 and 10 minutes exposure to the mulberry extract at the concentration of 500 mg/ml which showed the percentage of inhibition at > 99.96-100% and > 99.93-100% compared to the control, respectively. All concentrations of the mulberry extract inhibited biofilm formation of all strains visualized by CLSM. The effects were dose-dependent. The 500 mg/ml concentration exhibited a significant inhibitory effects on S. mutans (ATCC 25175) (p = 0.013), S. mutans clinical isolate N006, N029 and N113 (p = 0.016) when compared to the control group.
Conclusions: Mulberry extract at the 500 mg/ml concentration showed excellent antibacterial activit
