Elderly who evaluate their past experiences as failure, guilt, anger, discontent and desperation will usually fall into depression. Number of depression found in elderly women tends to be higher in comparison to that of the elderly men.

The aim of this study was to observe the effect of reminiscence group therapy in reducing depression experienced by the elderly women who live in nursing houses. Study conducted on a group of eight elderly women living in SA Nursing House, Jakarta. Method used is a Quasi Experimental Research with one-group pre-post design.

<![CDATA[This paper addresses the mental decline and dementia of patients suffering from brain disorders. The most common of these neurological illnesses is Alzheimer’s disease, characterized by a progressive atrophy of cortical brain areas. Alzheimer’s disease accounts by far for the largest part of all dementias and is presently one of the most serious disorders, causing an immense burden on patients and society. Vascular dementia is noticed when the brain’s supply of blood is disrupted by strokes or other vessel pathologies and just as in Alzheimer’s this leads to cortical atrophy with almost identical symptoms. Since the distinction between Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia is a gradual one, mixed pathologies are rather common. Rarer causes of dementia are frontotemporal dementia, with pathologies mainly in frontal and temporal brain regions, Parkinson’s disease with atrophy in basal ganglia which leads to motor disturbances and at times to mental decline, Lewy body dementia caused by abnormal deposits in the brain resulting in considerable damages of neural cells, and Huntington’s disease, a genetic disorder with widely dispersed brain atrophy characterized by mixed Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s symptoms. Presently, for the most part the cease of the progressive course of all these disorders is not possible. The last two disorders mentioned in this paper are normal pressure hydrocephalus, with a reduced absorption of ventricular fluid, and Korsakoff’s syndrome, caused by a deficiency of vitamin B1. In normal pressure hydrocephalus a brain shunt may reverse the pathological symptoms, while a vitamin B1 diet could improve the symptoms of Korsakoff’s syndrome. Diagnosis, symptoms and pathologies of all disorders are presented in this paper.]]>

Society still consider them as an aberration of moral norms. One of the new-established social organization, organization S, gathers some students to study this topic in a scientific way. The LGBTQIA+ members of organization S, had experienced discrimination from the others because of their sexual preference and sexual identity.

Datas are taken from three participants who had experienced discrimination due to their sexual preference and sexual identity. The result will be used as a base of intervention design to reduce discrimination towards LGBTQIA+ members in organization S. Researchers suggest social creativity as the strategy to raise the crowd awareness of the LGBTQIA+ competence and ability as a human, regardless of the negative stigma that they have received before. We suggest a photography exhibition by LGBTQIA+ members of organization S as an intervention programme. The aim of this intervention is to raise awareness of the LGBTQIA+ people, so they will have more positive point of view toward LGBTQIA+ members of this organization. This programme is a part of long term intervention. As a start, researchers suggest a subtler and more acceptable way.]]>
