Culture is believed to significantly impact the creation of therapy materials, practice models, assessment instruments, and client collaboration.

Even with significant advancements in the development and delivery of efficient treatments for children with ADHD, ethnic minority youths and teens continue to lag behind their non-minority peers in terms of diagnosis and treatment rates. Various learning and behavioral obstacles are linked to this disorder because of cognitive and metacognitive functioning difficulties. Individuals can only fully integrate into society if these functions have been acquired. Children can acquire alternate strategies to manage their cognitive deficits and adapt to different circumstances by using internal attention to build self-awareness, self-regulation, and self-control. The quick progress of research has led to the development of several medicinal and psychological strategies for treating ADHD, which significantly help with symptom management. The goal of the current study is to gain an understanding of the various therapeutic approaches used to help children from racial and ethnic minorities who are suffering from ADHD. These approaches include games using augmented reality (AR) environments.","PeriodicalId":304099,"journal":{"name":"Journal Health and Technology - JHT","volume":"31 15","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141354455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis of the recurrence data used the following selected parameters: dimension = 2, delay = 2, radius = 70, line = 2 and as color scheme the Volcano. The classic variables of the recurrence plots were selected: ApEn, SamPEn, Alpha 1, % Recurrence, Det%, Laminarity, TT and LDmax. The continuous quantitative variables with Gaussian distribution were treated with the aid of Fischer's exact test and unpaired Student t test, and p values < 0.05 were considered significant. The time series data of heart pulses were filtered and later analyzed with the software Kubios HRV Analysis.and the software Visual Recurrence Analysis. A total of 92 patients were considered, with the group of deaths consisting of 32 patients and the group of survivors by 60. indicating greater linearity (greater impairment of homeostasis).

This literature review focuses on adults with ADHD and depressive symptoms and presents the therapeutic technique of mindfulness and its benefits. The purpose of the paper was to add another method of reducing the symptoms of people who suffer from such difficulties in their daily lives. At the same time, the role of new technologies in the solution of mindfulness was also sought because developers and researchers work every day to provide solutions through technology to people who face developmental disorders such as ADHD or medical diseases such as depression. The research question of the work was presented and the contribution of mindfulness training is attributed as an alternative practice with the main axis of shifting the attention of individuals to the situation they are faced with and consequently to the fullest possible ideal awareness and cultivation of positive emotions. The findings identified were very interesting as mechanisms were found that were favored by mindfulness training. The concerns and research data led to the main conclusion that indeed the mindfulness technique can be administered by therapists as a way to reduce the symptoms experienced by adults with ADHD and depression.","PeriodicalId":304099,"journal":{"name":"Journal Health and Technology - JHT","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122285646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data used for the study were secondary which were gathered from General Hospital Obudu, from the year 2000 to 2020. Descriptive Statistics where calculated for each variable which shows the values of minimum, maximum, mean and standard deviation of each of the variable. The trend analysis for immunized case of measles shows a positive trend which implies increase in immunization. The trend equation for the disease is given by Yt = 367.1-2.89094*t. and trend analysis for reported cases of measles shows a negative trend which implies that cases of measles is decreasing. The trend equation of the disease is given by Yt=93.16-1.24131*t. the trend for the gender that suffer most shows that female suffer most in the reported cases of the disease.
