“…One study was conducted at a North Texas campus with college students that consisted of freshman, sophomores, juniors, seniors and graduate students. Of the 15.6% of the African American students that participated in the study, 66.2% of them were knowledgeable about sickle cell anemia in comparison to 69.2% of the Caucasian students (Smith and Praetorius 2018). A non-experimental, cross sectional sickle cell anemia research study was conducted at the University of Texas at Arlington.…”

MissionATINER is an Athens-based World Association of Academics and Researchers based in Athens. ATINER is an independent and non-profit Association with a Mission to become a forum where Academics and Researchers from all over the world can meet in Athens, exchange ideas on their research and discuss future developments in their disciplines, as well as engage with professionals from other fields. Athens was chosen because of its long history of academic gatherings, which go back thousands of years to Plato's Academy and Aristotle's Lyceum. Both these historic places are within walking distance from ATINER"s downtown offices. Since antiquity, Athens was an open city. In the words of Pericles, Athens"…is open to the world, we never expel a foreigner from learning or seeing". ("Pericles" Funeral Oration", in Thucydides, The History of the Peloponnesian War). It is ATINER"s mission to revive the glory of AncientAthens by inviting the World Academic Community to the city, to learn from each other in an environment of freedom and respect for other people"s opinions and beliefs. After all, the free expression of one"s opinion formed the basis for the development of democracy, and Athens was its cradle. As it turned out, the Golden Age of Athens was in fact, the Golden Age of the Western Civilization. Education and (Re)searching for the "truth" are the pillars of any free (democratic) society. This is the reason why Education and Research are the two core words in ATINER"s name.

“…Researches find that parents and children with beta thalassemia major experience a significant psychological maladjustment (Joshi and Vashist 2018;Mettananda et al 2019). However, most of these researches (Lomas 1998;McEwen and Wills 2017;Moghavvemi et al 2017) have been conducted in biomedical sciences, and thus, they have focused on biological aspects of this disease and its epidemiological postures rather than exploring any social, cultural, and religious factors associated with it (Hossain et al 2017;Smith and Praetorius 2019).…”

The study investigates the socio-religious factors in the propagation of genetically inherited disease of Beta thalassemia. The disorder which reportedly has a significant protraction through repeated cousin marriages results in the social maladjustment of the parents of the sick children due to constant depression, anxiety, and weak social interaction and may lead to social isolation as well. This research aims to find out the significant effect of socio-religious trends on psychosocial burden of beta thalassemia major among cousin and non-cousin couples in the province of Punjab in Pakistan. It takes a sample of 932 parents of sick children, among whom 735 were married with cousins and 197 with non-cousins, for data collection. The findings reveal that inadequate knowledge of the disease, insufficient or misdirected social support, stigmatization, and marriage breakups caused by the disease, superstitions, and misinterpretations of religion and the subsequent practices accordingly as significant predictors of psychosocial burden of beta thalassemia major among non-cousins and cousin couples. Additionally, it also finds patriarchy as only significant predictors of outcome variable among cousin couples.
