Drivers of Old-Age Dependence and Long-Term Care Usage in Switzerland—A Structural Equation Model Approach

Long-term care (LTC) encompasses a set of services provided to impaired and dependent elderly people. To assess the level of the dependence several scales are used, including activities of daily living (ADL), instrumental ADL (IADL) and functional limitations. Once an elderly person fails to perform these activities independently, he or she requires special assistance. Help can be provided as informal care by relatives and as formal care by professionals. The aim of this research is to study individual characteristics that relate to the demand of LTC and to analyze the relation between formal and informal care. We base our study on data from the Swiss Health Survey focusing on respondents aged over 65 years. Using the structural equation modeling technique, we develop a statistical model that considers the dependence concept as a latent variable. This hidden dependence variable combines three indices linked to the limitations in ADL, in IADL and functional limitations. Accounting for causality links between covariates enables us to include the indirect effect of pathologies on the receipt of LTC mediated via dependence. In our model, we do not assume a causal relationship between formal and informal care. From our results, we observe a significant impact of pathologies as well as of the socio-demographic factors on the demand for LTC. The relationship between formal and informal care is found to be of both a complementary and substitutional nature.
Music Teacher Rankings of Selected Core Teaching Practices

There is a decades-long history of music education researchers examining characteristics and skills associated with effective teaching and assessing how preservice music teachers develop those competencies. Building on studies of pedagogical content knowledge and the professional opinions of experienced music educators, researchers are now attempting to identity a body of core music teaching practices. We asked experienced in-service music teachers (N = 898) to think about the skills beginning music teachers must possess to investigate how respondents rated and ranked selected core music teaching practices in terms of their relative importance. Developing appropriate relationships with students, modeling music concepts, and sequencing instruction were the top core teaching practices identified by the group. Results provide insights into knowing, naming, and framing a set of core teaching practices and offer a common technical vocabulary that music teacher educators might use as they design curricula and activities to develop these foundational skills.
Culture, morality, and the effect of prosocial behavior motivation on positive affect

We investigated the effect of culture, moral discourse, and motivation to engage in prosocial behavior on benefactors’ positive affect. Participants from three cultures (Japan, Romania, and the United States) responded to scenarios in which they could perform small acts of kindness for different targets. A stronger relationship between agentic and obligated motivation to perform acts of kindness, as well as between obligated motivation and positive affect, was observed for participants from Japan, and for individuals with higher endorsement of the Community Ethic. Agentic motivation to engage in prosocial behavior was related to benefactors’ positive affect, regardless of relationship type.
The mere presence effect of smartphones on decision-making performance

The present study investigated the ‘mere presence effect’ of smartphones on decision-making performance. We also explored whether the relationship between smartphone presence and decision-making could be partially explained by cravings when moderated by smartphone dependency. Fifty-one participants (29 female; aged 19-45 years, `M`= 25.76, SD = 5.57) were recruited and randomly allocated into one of two conditions: a smartphone condition where participants had their phones in the lab face down and on silent and a control condition where participants had their phones in a separate room. Both conditions completed a decisionmaking task via a computer. On completion of the task, all participants filled out a problematic phone use scale to determine smartphone dependency and a craving intensity scale to determine cravings to use the smartphone device throughout the study. Results demonstrated no moderated mediation of cravings and smartphone dependency. However, as expected we demonstrated that smartphone presence does indeed affect decision-making performance, with participants in the smartphone condition (smartphone present) employing significantly more heuristic-based decisions (`M` = 7.59) than participants in the control condition (smartphones absent) (`M` = 6.33). Our data demonstrates that merely having a smartphone present is cognitively demanding and can increase the use of heuristics (i.e., mental shortcuts) in decision-making.

A TRANSITIVITY ANALYSIS OF MALE AND FEMALE STUDENTS’ FINAL DRAFT OF CRITICAL RESPONSES PARAGRAPH TO LITERATURE

This study aims at investigating the realization of transitivity particularly process, participant and circumstance types realized in male and female students’ final draft of critical response paragraph to literature. A descriptive qualitative method was employed in analyzing and interpreting the whole data. Furthermore, eight students’ final draft of critical response paragraph to literature which were categorized into male and female students’ critical response paragraph. The findings showed that (1) most of the male and female students were able to realize the transitivity in which the transitivity was realized through the clauses that construct meaning of every single text. (2) Most dominant process realized in eight texts were material process, while actor and goal became the most dominant participants realized and circumstance of location became the most dominant circumstance realized in every single text. However, male students were tend to use the material process in their texts. This study concludes that even though the text were categorized into male and female students’ text, most of the text had realized correctly transitivity while both male and female students’ final draft of critical response paragraph to literature, material process dominantly emerged in the text. Finally, this study suggests English teachers and lecturers to refer the transitivity as a method which can be applied to check whether the students had correctly written critical response or not. Keywords: transitivity, critical response, literature
Identifying Equipment Factors Associated with Snowplow Operator Fatigue

A recent body of research in fatigue management indicates that other factors, including in-cab and external equipment, contribute to operator fatigue. The goal of this project was to identify winter road maintenance equipment (in-cab and external) that may increase or mitigate snowplow operator fatigue. To accomplish this goal, questionnaires from 2011 snowplow operators were collected from 23 states in the U.S. Results confirmed previous research that fatigue is prevalent in winter road maintenance operations. Winter road maintenance equipment that produced excessive vibrations, noise, reduced visibility, and complex task demands were found to increase snowplow operators’ self-reported fatigue. Similarly, equipment that reduced vibrations and external noise, improved visibility, and limited secondary tasks were found to reduce snowplow operator’s self-reported fatigue. Based on the questionnaire responses and the feasibility of implementation, the following equipment may help to mitigate or prevent snowplow operator fatigue: dimmable interior lighting, LED bulbs for exterior lighting, dimmable warning lights, a CD player or satellite radio in each vehicle, heated windshield, snow deflectors, narrow-beam auxiliary lighting, and more ergonomically designed seats with vibration dampening/air-ride technology.
Organizational Culture Type in Turkish Universities using OCAI: Perceptions of Students

Aim. The aim of this research is to identify student perceptions of the current organizational culture type in four flagship Turkish public universities. Its further goal after this diagnosis was to help the researchers and policy makers to deeply understand the actual situations and make recommendations for organizational culture change and educational innovations. Methods. We applied a mixed-method approach to collect data. The quantitative method consisted of 964 applications of the instrument of OCAI to bachelor students. The qualitative method included 19 semi-structured interviews to follow up and verify the results from the survey to have a deeper insight into Turkish HEIs. Results. The variety of findings through survey and interviews revealed and validated that the dominant culture type of Turkish universities regarding students is hierarchy followed by market culture. It is probable that the national cultural structure of the Turkish society is a result of this finding. It appears that Turkey has a hierarchical workplace attributing control, order, authority, and smooth functioning. Conclusions. Based on student perceptions, this study can provide policy makers, academic leaders, academic staff and employees in administrative units with a broader knowledge of the current organizational culture type in universities in Turkey, and identify the strengths and weaknesses of organizational culture in universities and to improve the quality through making innovations.
Investigating the Impact of Information Quality on Relationship Marketing with Mediating Role of Salespeople’ Relational Competency: Survey about Iranian ISP

Despite the vital role of information in relational-oriented firms, there are limited studies on the impact of information quality on relationship marketing. To address this gap, this study develops a conceptual model to examine the impact of information quality on the successful implementation of relationship marketing by assessing the mediating role of salespeople's relational competency. The proposed model is tested using structural equation modeling (SEM) technique with data collected from 140 employee-customer pair sample of Shatel Group (Tehran, Iran). Stratified sampling is our applied research methodology, we also employed questionnaire for data collection. The results indicate that while there is no meaningful relationship between information quality and salespeople's relational competency, there is a significant relationship between salespeople's relational competency and relationship marketing. Accordingly, it could be concluded that salespeople's relational competency cannot act as a mediating variable and thus information quality cannot affect relationship marketing indirectly.
Exploring the Use of Collocation in the Writing of Foundation-Year Students at King Abdulaziz University

English Foreign Language (EFL) learners face many challenges in the process of learning and using the language in a native-like way. One of these difficulties is the written production of collocations, where they know two words but fail to connect them accurately. Even though there has been a continuously growing interest in investigating EFL learners’ written production of collocations, there has been little research carried out in the context of Arab EFL learners. This was especially the case when studying the different types of collocations investigated in this research project comparing two proficiency levels of learners, where collocation is not explicitly taught in this context. This research draws on a selection of 16 written samples produced by two levels of Saudi foundation-year students (pre-intermediate and intermediate) at King Abdulaziz University. The methodology follows three analytical methods to investigate learners’ written production of collocations: the manual extraction of candidate combinations; then, the corpus-based approach to identify collocations by using BNC citations and an association measurement; and finally, the phraseological approach to identify acceptable collocations by referring to native speaker informants. The results based on this analysis support the research findings that Saudi learners produce a high number of acceptable collocations, and without much difference between pre-intermediate and intermediate level learners. The findings have also identified the types of acceptable collocations and their level of fixedness and the less idiomatic combinations indicating possible similarities and differences between the two levels of Saudi learners’ productions. These findings contribute to EFL learners’ research on collocations and language learning process and pedagogy, with a limitation to this learners’ context. The study further contributes theoretically and methodologically to knowledge through the identification of collocations produced by learners using the association measurement, LogDice.

Retribution-style adult image-based sexual abuse : crime scripting, CRAVED and situational crime prevention

The majority of Harmful Digital Communications Act (HDCA) prosecutions in New Zealand typically involved the misuse of an adult (female) victim’s intimate images by a current or former (male) intimate partner--“retribution-style” imagebased sexual abuse (IBSA). Retribution-style IBSA encompasses abusive behaviours such as covert intimate filming or photography, the non-consensual storage of a victim’s intimate images, threats to disseminate such images and the actual dissemination of a victim’s intimate images. The harms of victimisation include significant emotional distress, job loss, and physical and online stalking and harassment by internet users who viewed their intimate images. Due to the ubiquity and permanence of the internet, retribution-style IBSA victims cannot be guaranteed that their intimate images would not resurface in future. This study aims to establish an evidence base for retribution-style IBSA. The crimecommission process of retribution-style IBSA is investigated using crime script analysis. The components of IBSA target selection are detailed using the components in the CRAVED framework, and barriers to prevention, tactical and strategic approaches for IBSA prevention are identified using a thematic analysis of 4 semi-structured interviews and 18 court transcripts. Crime intervention points and a situational crime prevention (SCP) framework would be devised to assist law enforcement and policy makers with IBSA prevention in New Zealand.
A Call for Authenticity: Audience Responses to Social Media Influencer Endorsements in Strategic Communication

ABSTRACT Utilizing social media celebrities as a communication channel has become a strategic practice for many organizations. By using the concepts of celebrity endorsement and authenticity, the effect of celebrity and content characteristics on followers’ attitudes towards the content and, in the case of sponsored content, purchase intentions are scrutinized. Instagram followers (N = 592) of 45 celebrities responded to a survey on nine photos of the celebrities. The results show that both the perceived authenticity and attractiveness of the celebrity are positively related with photo attitudes, but only authenticity has an effect on purchase intentions. Photos of social media influencers, people who have become famous through social media, increase purchase intentions more than photos of general celebrities. Congruence between the photo and the celebrity has the strongest positive effect on photo attitudes and purchase intentions. Sponsored photos are less favorably perceived than non-sponsored photos, but, among sponsored photos, sponsor disclosure has no effect on purchase intentions. The perceived authenticity of both the celebrity and her content is said to explain favorable audience perceptions. The findings imply that organizations should seek authentic matches between their message and the endorsing celebrity and that the content should align with the usual style of the celebrity.
Investigating the effects of customer-based brand equity on turnover intentions with mediating effect of customer citizenship behavior

This study addresses the issue of rising turnover intention in Pakistan’s aviation industry and provides a theoretical foundation for lowering the turnover intention with the help of consumer citizenship behavior (CCB) and consumer-based brand equity by using the S-O-R theory. The data is collected with the help of structured personally administered questions following the intercept approach. Three most frequently used international airports which are located at Lahore, Karachi and Peshawar are targeted for data collection and total of 388 Pakistani flyers who traveled to international destinations participate in the survey. In addition, this study uses SmartPLS 3.2. 7 for data analysis with the help of a two-stage approach. The results state that CBBE had a significant effect on CCB and CCB had a significant impact on turnover intentions. Furthermore, CCB plays the role of an important mediator for the effect of customer based brand equity (CBBE) on turnover intention. These results enhance existing literature about lowering the turnover intention with the help of CCB and CBBE in aviation industry of Pakistan. The study also highlights that managers and practitioners should improve customer engagement for exhibiting CCB to reduce customer turnover intentions in the aviation industry.
