Psychometric characteristics of a modi fi ed Sympathy – Acceptance – Understanding – Caring competence model questionnaire among foreign-born parents encountering nurses in primary child health care services

Aim: To determine the psychometric properties of the Sympathy–Acceptance– Understanding–Caring Competence (SAUC) model questionnaire for foreign-born parents evaluating nursing encounters in the Swedish Primary Child Health Care (PCHC) services. Background: Multicultural encounters in child health care from the nursing perspective are challenging and problematic worldwide. A suitable theorybased and validated questionnaire is needed for foreign-born parents to assess the quality of their encounters with nurses. Methods: The SAUC questionnaire, modified for use by new, foreign-born parents using the Swedish PCHC services, was evaluated for its congruence with the theory of Confirming Encounter. The study was ethically approved and data were collected between March and August 2009 from 83 new, foreign-born parents seen at 50 clinics. Exploratory factor analysis was used to identify related factors, and goodness-of-fit tests were used to estimate theoretical consistency. Confirmatory Factor Analysis was used to verify the results. Findings: The questionnaire had satisfactory theoretical consistency with the theory of Confirming Encounter. Three factors identified by exploratory factor analysis and confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis – person support, self-support, and self-perspective support – indicated internal consistency and validated the three factors implicit in the theory Confirming Encounter. In addition, a new factor, concordance,was identified that is compatiblewith the theory. To conclude, despite the fact that a modified questionnaire have its limitations results demonstrate that the SAUC-model questionnaire seems to be a reliable and valid nursing quality-control measure with which foreign-born parents can evaluate the qualities of a confirming encounter with nurses. However, we suggest the need for testing the questionnaire in a larger population.
Amphibian species richness and diversity in a modified tropical environment of central Mexico

We analyzed the structure and taxonomic diversity of amphibian communities in a forest-fragmented landscape in central Mexico. Our study was undertaken in remnants of native tropical evergreen forest (TEF), shaded coffee plantations (SCP), and pastures (PAS) to assess richness, turnover, and taxonomic diversity of species among these environments. Our results show a decrease in the number of species from the native forest to the transformed environments. Similarity in species composition was higher between TEF and SCP, and between SCP and PAS. In TEF, we recorded a greater proportion of species of conservation concern at the national and global levels. Many of the species recorded in SCP and PAS may occur in TEF, but TEF holds species requiring conserved environments. Additional studies are needed at a local level to understand the effects of land-cover transformations and the interactions between native vegetation and its surrounding matrix to define appropriate management plans and conservation strategies for highly sensitive biological groups, such as the amphibians.
OF 30 CASES OF CRYPTOGENIC ORGANIZING PNEUMONIA

Organizing pneumonia (OP) is a distinctive kind of lung disease, characterized by patchy filling of alveoli and bronchioles by loose plugs of granulation tissue known as Masson bodies. OP can be either idiopathic (cryptogenic organizing pneumonia, COP) or secondary (secondary organizing pneumonia, SOP). COP may present without a known cause and is therefore classified as a subtype of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, while SOP is associated with miscellaneous conditions such as connective tissue diseases, infections, tumors, radiation, and drugs. The incidence of COP was1.10/100,000, whereas the incidence of SOP was0.86/100,000, with an overall incidence of OP is 1.6/100,000. The mean age of onset of OP is between 50 and 60 years. There is no race or gender predilection. The COP usually develops after a prodrome of a flu-like syndrome associated with fever, fatigue, cough , mild dyspnea, and weight loss, which lasts for several weeks.Radiographs typically show alveolar infiltrates. As clinical symptoms and radiographic features from COP are nonspecific and similar to community acquired pneumonia (CAP), Acta Medica Mediterranea, 2016, 32: 817
Effect of Naphthalene Acetic Acid and Yeast Extract on Growth and Productivity of Tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum Mill . ) Plants

The field experiment was conducted to study the effect of foliar application with 25 and 50 ppm naphthalene acetic acid and 2 and 4 g/L yeast extract and their combinations on some growth aspects, photosynthetic pigments, minerals, endogenous phytohormones, flowering, pollen grain fertility and fruit yield and quality of tomato cv. Super Strain B under summer conditions during 2009 and 2010 seasons. Plants were sprayed three times at 30, 45 and 60 days after transplanting. Results indicated that the different applied treatments significantly increased all studied growth parameters (number of branches and leaves, leaf area and leaf dry weight as well). Besides, the two concentrations of each applied yeast extract or naphthalene acetic acid obviously increased photosynthetic pigments, N, P, K, Fe, Zn, Mn, total carbohydrates and crude protein concentrations in leaves of treated plants as compared with those of untreated ones. Also, all treatments increased auxin, gibberellin and cytokinin levels in tomato shoots at 75 days after transplanting during 2010 season whereas abscisic acid was decreased. Furthermore, the highest fruit set, early and total yields were obtained with 4 g/L yeast extract plus 50 ppm naphthalene acetic acid. In addition, chemical composition of minerals and some bioconstituents such as carbohydrates, vitamin C and total soluble solids in tomato fruits were also increased at the same treatments. Therefore, the present study strongly admit the use of naphthalene acetic acid and yeast extract as foliar application not only to increase early and total yields but also getting a good fruit quality as well, under summer conditions.
Bacterial Isolation and Antibiogram of Uterine Lavage from Repeat Breeder Cows Suffering from Subclinical Endometritis

A total 500 cows were randomly selected from college livestock farm, Kuthuliya and different villages in and around Rewa (M.P.). After recording history all the animals were subjected to gynaeco-clinical examination, Whiteside test and endometrial cytology by cytobrush technique. On the basis of above tests performed all the animals were selected for the study. They were divided into three groups as follows: Normal (n=280), Clinical endometritis (n=80) and Subclinical endometritis (n=140). All the animals were subjected to aseptic collection of uterine fluid by low volume lavage technique. Uterine fluid samples obtained were used for microbial assay and antibiotic sensitivity tests. Among the bacterial isolates Staphylococcus species (36.31%) was highly prevalent. The antibiotic sensitivity of isolates was found to be maximum for ceftriaxone and sulbactum combination 91.67 per cent followed by levofloxacin 89.07, ciprofloxacin 79.69, ceftriaxone 73.43, enrofloxacin 61.45 and gentamicin 56.78 per cent, respectively. It was concluded that Staphylococcus species was highly prevalent bacteria isolated and a combination of ceftriaxone and sulbactum was found to be highly sensitive.
Lending Standards and Macroeconomic Dynamics

This paper proposes a tractable way to incorporate lending standards ("credit qualification thresholds") into macro models of financial frictions. Banks can reject borrowers whose risk is above an endogenous threshold at which no lending rate sufficiently compensates banks for the borrowers’ default risk. Firms denied credit cut employment and labor reallocates mostly towards safer producers. Lending standards propagate bank capital shortfalls through labor misallocation causing deeper and more persistent real effects. The paper also shows that lending spreads are insufficient indicators of credit supply disruptions. That is, for the same increase in credit spreads, output falls faster when denial rates are increasing. Finally, with endogenous lending standards, first-moment bank capital shocks look like second-moment shocks. JEL Classification: E32, E44, E47, G2
Assessment of Dentition Status and Treatment Needs among Eunuchs Residing in Bhopal city , Madhya Pradesh , India : A Cross-sectional Survey

Aim: The current cross-sectional study following the STROBE guidelines was conducted to assess the dentition status and treatment needs among eunuchs residing in Bhopal city, Madhya Pradesh, India. Materials and Methods: Based on convenient non-probability snowball sampling technique, all the self-identified eunuchs residing in the city of Bhopal who were present at the time of examination and who full filled the selection criteria were examined. A cross-section of the general population (males and females) residing in the same locality where these eunuchs live, was also examined. The WHO oral health assessment pro forma (1997) was used to collect the information on dentition status. All the obtained data were analyzed using software; Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 20. Results: The dental caries experience was higher among males (69.7%) compared to females (67.3%) and eunuchs (67.1%). There was no statistically significant difference among the study subjects. However, the overall need for one surface filling was highest (55.4%) among the study subjects. Eunuchs needed a higher number of two surface fillings (21.2%). Conclusion: The findings of the current study spotlight the higher prevalence of dental caries among eunuch population. There is an urgent need to plan properly to meet the unmet needs of eunuch subjects as it was observed that virtually no care has been provided for this socially deprived community pertaining to oral health.
Hibiscus rosa sinensis phytochemistry and medicinal uses

Hibiscus rosa sinensis is known as China rose belonging to the Malvaceae family. This plant has various important medicinal uses for treating wounds, inflamation, fever and coughs, diabetes, infections caused by bacteria and fungi, hair loss, and gastric ulcers in several tropical countries. Phytochemical analysis documented that the main bioactive compounds responsible for its medicinal effects are namely flavonoids, tannins, terpenoids, saponins, and alkaloids. Experiment from recent studies showed that various types of extracts from all H. rosa sinensis parts exhibited a wide range of beneficial effects such as hypotensive, anti-pyritic, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, antioxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-diabetic, wound healing, and abortifacient activities. The few studies on toxicity exhibited that most extracts from all parts of this plant did not show any signs of toxicity at higher doses according to histological analysis. However, some of the extracts did alter biochemical and hematological parameters. Therefore, further research must be conducted to isolate the phytochemicals and explore their specific mechanism of action. This review summarizes the phytochemistry, pharmocology, and medicinal uses of this flower with the purpose of finding gaps demanding for future research and investigating its therapeutic potential through clinical trials.
Contribution to knowledge of the charophytes (Charales) of Vojvodina (Serbia) – 20 years after the first review

: This paper summarises known data regarding floristic richness, distribution and habitat preferences of the charophyte algae (Charales) in the region of Vojvodina (Serbia). The historical records were collected from all available literature and herbarium data on charophytes in Vojvodina from the beginning of charophyte research in the 19 th century to the present day. Moreover, detailed field investigations were carried out in the period from 2012 to 2014. The last study summarising knowledge about the distribution and ecology of charophytes (Charales) in Vojvodina was done in 1995, and nine species were listed therein. At the present time, 20 years later, 11 more species are known. Altogether, charophytes are represented in the flora of Vojvodina with 20 species, belonging to four genera: Chara , Nitellopsis , Nitella and Tolypella . All data were georeferenced and species distribution maps are given. Concerning habitat preferences, charophytes of Vojvodina are mainly found in three types of habitats, namely puddles and ruts in river floodplains, different kinds of excavation pits and periodically dredged canals. Most of the known localities are in the protected areas of Vojvodina.
2 Mathematics 2 . 1 Recursive Perturbative Equation of Motion

Here, I motivate control-theoretic system identification techniques for 3 order spectroscopy. I begin by deriving a recursive perturbative von Neumann equation, and constructing an extended Liouville space to define a bilinear evolution equation. Since the bilinear terms are short spectral-interaction pulses, I build on control-theoretic work by Juang and others [10, 11] to construct a linear equation for the third-order polarization signal. Thus, the classic inversion problem of determining Hamiltonian parameters given polarization output data is soluble. I show how to efficiently solve these equations in the forward direction and inversion direction for a dimer system.
The Impact of Foreign Direct Investment on Human Capital Enhancement in Developing Countries

Executive Summary This is just the first draft of a paper to be delivered to the OECD. My understanding is that the final product may become a chapter of a longer document, hence the references below to ‘this paper/chapter’. The particular focus is on the impact of FDI on human capital enhancement in developing countries. While there are of course vast literatures on both FDI and human capital enhancement, the specific issue of how, if at all, the behaviour of TNCs impact on human capital enhancement in developing countries has not as yet been explicitly researched in any great detail. Following the introduction, Section 2 of the paper refers briefly to the issue of FDI in developing countries. Section 3 sets out the issues as regards human capital enhancement. Section 4 then considers the evidence. The major impact of FDI on human capital enhancement appears to have been not through any effort of the MNEs but rather from governments seeking to attract FDI via enhanced human capital. Once individuals are employed by MNE subsidiaries, their human capital may be further enhanced through training and on the job learning. Those subsidiaries may also have a positive role on human capital enhancement in other enterprises with which they develop links, including suppliers. To the extent that human capital is thereby

the different regions of Germany. In contrast, within these particular geographic areas, only slight sequence differences were found in longitudinal analysis over several years. This conclusion is supported by the novel human Waldkirchen sequence (H72), which is almost identical to the BF strains from 2004 (6,10) and the similarity of newly derived human sequences from Munsterland (H208, H303) to the Berkel strain from 1994 (7). The molecular characterization of the viral sequences of patient and rodent origin from the outbreak areas demonstrates that PUUV is the causative agent of the current outbreak.

TOWARDS UNDERSTANDING ARCHITECTURAL THEORY: A REVIEW ON ‘READING’ ARCHITECTURE

This paper focuses on understanding the meaning behind architecture. It reviews and examines a collation of ideas as to what happens at the crucial point of design conceptualization or form generation in architecture which is theory. In other to understand theory, there is a need to first extrapolate it from the built form which is referred to in this context as reading. This review also focuses on the concept of reading and examines attempts over the years to develop a universal language first based on rules during the renaissance and more recently based on the science of signs and codes as seen through semiotics. However, not everyone reads architecture the same way and as such the study reviews the reasons for arbitrariness in the reading of architectural built forms and discusses three possible factors, namely; positionality, perception and legibility. It concludes that the language of architecture is not constant through time and may exist for certain periods in history. It also infers that while the use of rules and codes in reading architecture may still be valid, factors such as positionality, perception and legibility contribute to subjectivity in reading based on diversity in human experiences. As such, this ultimately affects understanding meaning or theory in architecture.
In vitro culture establishment of Schizandra chinensis (Turz.) Baill. and Rhodiola rosea L., two adaptogenic compounds producing plants.

Schizandra chinensis and Rhodiola rosea are known to contain immune-stimulating compounds. Additionally, these compounds are able to increase the ability of an organism to adapt to environmental factors and to avoid the damage caused by such factors. A possible explanation of the mechanism behind this so called adaptogenic effect, is their influence on the level and activity of monoamines and opioid peptides such as beta-endorphins. The aim of our work was to develop and optimize the hormonal composition of a growth medium for cultures of these plants. The production of lignans by S. chinensis calli and biosynthesis of phenolic glycoside rhodioloside by R. rosea cells was also evaluated. The highest stimulating effect on growth in the Schizandra chinensis culture was found with a nutrient medium containing 2,4-D 0.1 mg l -1 with KT 1.0 mg l -1 or NAA 1.0 mg l -1 with KT 1.0 mg l -1 . For Rhodiola rosea culture, the best callus production was obtained with nutrient media containing 2,4-D 1.0 mg l -1 and IBA 1.0 mg l -1 ; 2,4-D 0.1 mg l -1 ; 2,4-D 1.0 mg l -1 or IAA 0.1 mg l -1 . Plants of Rhodiola rosea were regenerated in two media, one containing IAA 1.0 mg l -1 and another with IBA 10.0 mg l -1 and KT 1.0 mg l -1 . Root development was monitored after the addition of NAA 0.5 mg l -1 . However, in spite of increased growth, HPLC analysis did not reveal the presence of any lignans in the callus culture of Schizandra chinensis nor of the glycoside rhodiolosid in the callus culture of Rhodiola rosea. On the other hand, rhodiolosid was detected in Rhodiola rosea plants regenerated from calli. It is suggested that the phytohormone systems mentioned above are a major starting point for a further investigation focused on the induction of higher levels of secondary metabolite production in these callus cultures.

Emerging Adulthood , Criteria for Adulthood and Identity in Greece 1 Dimensions of Emerging Adulthood , Criteria for Adulthood , and Identity Development in Greek Studying Youth : A Person-Centered Approach

Little research has been conducted on emerging adulthood in Greece, although sociodemographic specificities and constraints due to financial crisis are expected to reinforce prolonged transition to adulthood in this Southern European country. Using a person-centered approach, the current study aimed to examine dimensions of emerging adulthood, criteria for adulthood, and identity development among studying youth in association with personal and structural variables (i.e, gender, age, living arrangement, work experience, steady romantic relationship status, and financial adversity). Participants were 814 university students (Mage = 19.9 years). Latent profile analysis yielded five profiles: Anxious explorers in-between (29.90%), Immature explorers (29.58%), Emerging adults (18.30%), Adult committers (12.58%), and Blocked in transition (9.64%). Significant between-profile differentiation was found regarding all variables except from age and work experience. The results support the existence of emerging adulthood in Greece and indicate diverse paths to adulthood within the rather homogeneous population of studying youth in this country.
Relation Between Self-Efficacy And Quality Of Life Domain In Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus ( A Case Study Of Public Hospitals Type B In Semarang )

The prevalence of patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) increases every year. The quality of life of diabetic patients is worse than the general population. Self-efficacy can be a consistent predictor of the quality of life. It is an important factor which leads to behavioral and mindset changes to minimize the symptoms and improve the quality of life. This study aimed to determine the relationship between self-efficacy and quality of life in patients with T2DM. This study used a correlational analytical design with a cross sectional approach. The respondents were patients with T2DM (n=189) who visited the medical polyclinics in Semarang City Public Hospital and Tugurejo Hospital in Semarang. The self-efficacy was assessed using a questionnaire of Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale (DMSES), while the quality of life was assessed using a questionnaire of Audit of Diabetes-Dependent Quality of Life (ADDQOL). The data were analyzed using a chi-square test. The results indicated a relationship between self-efficacy and quality of life in patients with T2DM with a p-value of 0.016. Furthermore, there was a relationship between self-efficacy with 4 out of 18 domains of quality of life, including sex life, physical appearance, self-confidence, and worries about the future. There was no relationship between self-efficacy and age, sex, duration of DM, diabetic complications, and economic status. Self-efficacy assessment can help nurses acquire necessary information about the patients’ readiness to engage in behavioral changes towards the improvement of their disease condition and selfmanagement which will further enhance their quality of life.
