Sociodemographic and clinical factors associated with depression, anxiety and stress in students and teachers of a public university in the Andean region: a cross-sectional study
No full textThe present study identified important associations between sociodemographic factors, clinical history and the presence of mental health problems in students and teachers of a public university in the Andean region.

A just society must operate on principles of inclusivity, respect, and equal access to opportunities. The book emphasizes ethical consistency, where justice should be applied universally rather than selectively. Prof. Dr. Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad, Ph.D., DBA, argues that ethical frameworks must evolve to accommodate the realities of a diverse society while maintaining coherence with fundamental human rights.
Indicators of Justice
The presence of legal protections, social acceptance, and equitable policies are among the key indicators of justice explored in this book. Prof. Dr. Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad, Ph.D., DBA, assesses how nations measure up against these indicators, providing case studies on societies that have successfully integrated LGBTQ+ rights into their ethical and legal frameworks.
Operational Variables
The book examines legal structures, cultural attitudes, religious doctrines, and educational policies as variables that influence justice in relation to sexual orientation. Prof. Dr. Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad, Ph.D., DBA, investigates the role of advocacy, political leadership, and social movements in shaping these variables.
Determining Factors
Social justice is determined by a complex interplay of political will, cultural adaptability, and institutional policies. Prof. Dr. Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad, Ph.D., DBA, identifies economic stability, access to education, and international human rights frameworks as influential factors in the realization of justice.
Implementation and Strategy
The book presents strategic recommendations for fostering justice, including legal reforms, educational initiatives, and ethical discourses that promote inclusivity. Prof. Dr. Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad, Ph.D., DBA, highlights best practices from different societies that have navigated the complexities of balancing tradition with modern human rights standards.
Challenges and Support Mechanisms
Resistance from religious institutions, cultural traditions, and political structures are discussed as obstacles to justice. Prof. Dr. Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad, Ph.D., DBA, also examines the role of international bodies, advocacy groups, and progressive policies in countering these challenges.
Conclusion and Summary
The book concludes by reaffirming the necessity of ethical evolution in the pursuit of a just society. Prof. Dr. Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad, Ph.D., DBA, asserts that while progress has been made, the journey toward true justice remains ongoing. He calls for continued dialogue, legal advocacy, and philosophical reflection to ensure that the principles of fairness and equality are upheld for all
A Systematic Review of Artificial Intelligence Interventions for Sleep in Patients with Neurological and Neuropsychiatric Disorders
No full textPurpose
The primary aim of the systematic review will be to synthesize the current literature on artificial intelligence (AI)-based interventions for improving sleep outcomes in individuals diagnosed with neurological or neuropsychiatric conditions, specifically excluding those with a primary diagnosis of insomnia. This will be motivated by the observation that patients with these conditions consistently experience worse sleep and have more complex needs, and that sleep medicine is an under-represented area of preventative care suitable for AI integration.
Methodology
The project will be conducted as a systematic review in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Two independent reviewers (YM and JS) will conduct all stages using a double-blind method. A comprehensive electronic search will be performed across EMBASE, Medline, and PubMed using MeSH terms related to Artificial Intelligence, Sleep, and Neurological/Neuropsychiatric Conditions. Studies will be limited to English-language, peer-reviewed primary empirical research published between 2022 and November 2025, focusing on AI interventions for sleep in the target population. Data extraction will use the JBI framework, and risk of bias will be independently assessed.
Expected outcomes
Primary - change in objective sleep metrics (e.g., total sleep time, sleep onset latency, wake after sleep onset, sleep efficiency, sleep stages as measured by polysomnography/actigraphy/validated sensors). Secondary - subjective sleep quality (PSQI, Insomnia Severity Index), daytime sleepiness/function (Epworth Sleepiness Scale, functional scales), disease-specific clinical outcomes (seizure frequency, motor symptom severity, cognitive scores), safety/adverse events, algorithm performance metrics (accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, AUC), usability and acceptability
