Abdominal complex muscle in women with stress urinary incontinence – prospective case-control study

Introduction This study was designed to assess the percentage share of musculus obliquus externus abdominis, musculus obliquus internus abdominis and musculus transversus abdominis activity among women suffering from stress urinary incontinence using ultrasound imaging. Material and methods The study is a retrospective analysis of prospective collected data of 84 women aged 23–62 years. In the study group are women suffering from grade 1 or 2 stress urinary incontinence according to the Stamey classification; the control group consists of women with no micturition disorders. The abdominal muscles’ activity was measured by using ultrasound imaging with assessment of muscle thickness. Results The analysis of musculus obliquus externus abdominis in anterolateral abdominal wall activity shows a statistically significant difference between study and control groups concerning isometric tension of abdominal muscles (p = 0.012) and lower abdomen tension (p = 0.004). Women with stress urinary incontinence present higher activity of the musculus obliquus externus abdominis than women in the control group. In the case of the musculus obliquus internus abdominis, statistically significant differences were found during tension of the lower part of the abdomen (p = 0.024). Comparison of activity of the musculus transversus abdominis between study and control groups shows a statistically significant difference during isometric tension of abdominal muscles (p = 0.018). Conclusions The pattern of activity of the assessed muscles differs between the study group and the control group. In the study group, the activity pattern concerns the higher activity of the musculus obliquus externus abdominis and the lower activity of the musculus obliquus internus abdominis and musculus transversus abdominis.
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARENTING STYLES, PERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT AND BULLYING: A CROSS-SECTIONAL RETROSPECTIVE STUDY UPON A SAMPLE OF ROMANIAN STUDENTS

INTRODUCTION: Based upon the literature on the relationship between parenting styles and bullying and also upon the role of social support, our study aimed at bringing evidence about the relationship between these concepts on a Romanian sample of students. METHOD: Using a retrospective approach, we investigated 100 students who were asked to remember their high school experience related to bullying, family behaviors, and perceived social support. Our study is a retrospective correlational one. This means that students had to respond to the bullying scale concerning their high school experience, as they remembered it. The questionnaire containing all scales was administered in the online environment. First, participants signed an informed consent and, after that, they received all the items. RESULTS: The permissive style of parenting was negatively and signifi cantly correlated with being a physical victim (r= -0.210, p< 0.05) and psychological victim (r= -0.300, p< 0.01) of bullying. The permissive style was positively and signifi cantly correlated with family support (r=0.483, p< 0.01), friends support (r=0.276, p< 0.01) and signifi cant others’ support (r=0.366, p< 0.01). The only variable with signifi cant gender differences was the verbal aggressor status, with males having a signifi cantly higher level (M=4.48, SD=2.18) than females (M=3.49, SD=0.66), t=-3.202, p=0.002. DISCUSSIONS AND CONCLUSIONS: We found that the permissive and the authoritative/democratic styles of parenting had a protective role against being a bullying victim, while the authoritarian style was associated with a rather high probability of being a victim-aggressor. Second, we found that the permissive and the authoritative/democratic styles were associated with high levels of perceived social support, from all three sources measured, family, friends, and signifi cant others, while the authoritarian style was associated with low levels of social support. Third, we found that perceived social support had a protective role against being a bullying victim. Limits of the study along with its implications for research and practice are also discussed.
Does continuous cropping of maize contribute to infestation with Johnsongrass (Sorghum alepense (L.) Pers.)?

Experiments were conducted in the Maize Research Institute (MRI), Zemun Polje, Belgrade, in order to examine how economically driven continuous cropping of maize influences weed infestation, especially the distribution and abundance of Jonhsongrass, as well as maize productivity. The maize hybrid ZP 606 was grown in continuous cropping from 2009 to 2018 at a density of 59,500 plants ha. The experimental field was split into a part treated with the pre-emergence herbicide isoxaflutole + metolachlor (750 + 960 g a.i.) and untreated control. The level of complete weed infestation was evaluated 4-5 weeks after herbicide application by determining the number of weed individuals per species (NI), total fresh biomass (TB) and total dry weight (TDW) of all weeds and Johnsongrass fresh biomass (JB) and dry weight (JDW). Maize harvest index (HI) and grain yield (GY) were determined at the end of each growing period.
A CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF ONLINE NEWS TEXTS: A CASE OF TRIBUN-TIMUR.COM

This research aims to reveal the dimensions of texts, such as elements of representation, relations, and identity according to the Norman Fairclough discourse analysis displayed on the online news. This type of research is descriptive qualitative. Researchers began to analyze the data by reading the news of the February 2019 ATKP cadet death portal online, understanding the elements of the Norman Fairclough text dimension, and doing the technique to record the results in the reporting of the death of the ATKP cadet in February 2019. The reporting on the death of ATKP strains on February 9, 2019, entitled: Penganiayaan di Kampus Akademi Teknik Keselamatan Penerbangan (ATKP) dan Politeknik Ilmu Pelayaran (PIP) Kota Makassar, dinilai warga sekitar, sudah menjadi hal biasa, and on February 10, 2019, entitled: Sepekan taruna ATKP Makassar tewas dianiaya seniornya, begini penanganan kasusnya posted on the tribun.com website became the primary data in this research. The results showed that some elements of text dimensions are on the news, such as representation, relations, and identity. It was found that Tribun-timur.com was relatively proportional in reporting the pros and cons of the event.
RELATIONSHIPS OF PRIMARY AND SECONDARY WHEAT YIELD COMPONENTS

The aim is to improve production techniques, so the objective of the study is to verify the change in the productivity dynamics of ears contained in the main stems and tillers related to sowing densities and dual purpose wheat cultivars. The experiment was carried out in Frederico Westphalen, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. The design used was randomized blocks organized in factorial scheme, with five wheat cultivars, five density managements, arranged in three repetitions. In the analysis of variance, interaction for cultivar and density was observed for all variables analyzed, except for ear length in the main plant, tiller ear length, and grain mass per tiller; indicating that the interaction between both collaborated to obtain the results. The cultivars BRS Tarumã, BRS Figueira and BRS Guatambu showed themselves to be able to compensate the production in higher densities, increasing the values of some variables analyzed. All yield components show positive correlations.

This study was carried out during the two successive seasons of both 2018 and 2019 on 5-year-old Flame Seedless grapevines in a private vineyard located at Kom Hamada Beheira Governorate, Egypt. The trees were spaced at 1.5 x 3 m apart and irrigated by drip irrigation system and received similar cultural practices adapted in the orchard. The present investigation aimed at study yield and quality of table grapes cv. "Flame seedless" as affected by bud break and pre-harvest treatments. This experiment consisted of sixteen treatments arranged in factorial experiment in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replicates for each treatment and one tree for each replicate. The experiment consisted of 16 treatments (Control, Garlic oil at 1 %, Urea at 2 %, Dormex at 4 %, Abscisic acid at 400 mg/ l, Ethrel at 250 mg/ l, Gibberelic acid 250 mg/ l, Garlic oil at 1 % + ASA at 400 mg/l , Garlic oil at 1 % + Ethrel at 250 mg/l, Garlic oil at 1 % + GA3 at 250 mg/l, Urea at 2 % + ASA at 400 mg/l, Urea at 2 % + Ethrel at 250 mg/l , Urea at 2 % + GA3 at 250 mg/l, Dormex at 4 % + ASA at 400 mg/l , Dormex at 4 % + Ethrel at 250 mg/l and Dormex at 4 % + GA3 at 250 mg/l . Results revealed that spraying dormex at 4%, recorded the best values of cluster weight and yield/plant, physical characters i.e. (berry length, berry diameter, weight of100 berry, size of 100 berry and fruit firmness), and all chemical compositions i.e. (total sugars, reducing sugars, anthocyanin content and vitamin c), also, abscisic acid 400 mg/l gave the highest mean values of cluster weight, yield/plant and anthocyanin content, while Ethrel at 250 mg/l recorded the maximum values of physical characters i.e. (berry length, berry diameter, weight of100 berry, size of 100 berry and fruit firmness), and all chemical compositions i.e. (total sugars, reducing sugars, and vitamin c), as compared with the control treatment which recorded the minimum values of this studied characters, during both seasons.
What drives online shopping among tertiary students in Ghana: The role of attitude and subjective norm

E-commerce or online shopping gained its freedom in the 1990s when Amazon, eBay, and Alibaba were established after the Internet was opened for commercial use. Since then, it has gained massive popularity as more people continue to shop online. While many industries, including the aviation industry, tourism industry, and some other industries, were significantly affected by the Covid19 pandemic, e-commerce or online shopping became more indispensable than ever. More people had to stay home, and some businesses were closed down, so people had to resort to shopping online. Besides, most countries, including Ghana, institutionalized a nationwide or some regional lockdown. Business Insider (2015) anticipated that any global crisis could trigger businesses to adopt online selling. According to Sengretsi (2020), the first-ever e-commerce websi te in Ghana, "eshopafrica.com" was launched in 2001, although Cordelia Salter-Nour founded the company in 1999. The website sold locally manufactured products (made in Ghana products) to online consumers.
Earnings Management and Corporate Survival of Listed Manufacturing Companies in Nigeria

Studies have reported limited explanatory power of earnings due to reasons that include low quality of earnings. Though earnings management is permitted within the financial reporting framework in many jurisdictions, its practices depending on the intention and aggressiveness may dovetail into fraudulent financial reporting and thus may have implications not only on entity’s share price but also on its going concern and ultimate survival. The main objective of the study therefore, was to examine the effect of earnings management on the survival of manufacturing entities in Nigeria. The population of the study was the 66 manufacturing companies listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange as at 31 December 2016. A sample size of thirty companies with complete data for our study was purposively selected from the 66 listed manufacturing companies. The study was for a period of 12 years (2005 to 2016) and secondary data drawn from published financial statements of sample companies were used. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential (OLS regression) statistics. Appropriate diagnostic tests were conducted on the data set. For our main hypothesis (HO1), Earnings management (EM) proxied by discretionary accruals jointly with corporate governance (CG) proxies exerted significant effect on corporate survival. Individual effects of EM and CG proxies on corporate survival were mixed.
Parental Advisory: Identifying Parents' Influence on Intentions to Study Abroad

Studying abroad is one of the most significant investments that someone makes in their entire live. Despite that, current literatures on marketing towards international students and their parents have been lacking. Conducted in Summer 2019, this study sought to investigate the influence of the parents on international students„ decision making in study abroad. The study found an inconclusive pattern that is not as quite decisive to suggest or discourage marketing towards these students' parents. Therefore, the result of the study urged higher education institutions to be strategic about spending their marketing costs towards parents. They need to have a deep understanding towards their students through segmentation so that they can decide whether marketing towards their parents is the best option that can provide the greater expected ROI or not.
The outcomes in STEMI patients with high thrombus burden treated by deferred versus immediate stent implantation in primary percutaneous coronary intervention: a prospective cohort study

Background No-/slow-reflow indicates worse outcomes in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients with high thrombus burden. We examined whether deferred stenting (DS) strategy reduces no-/slow-reflow or major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) for patients with acute STEMI and high thrombus burden. Methods We performed an open-label, multi-center, prospective cohort study among eligible patients with acute STEMI and high thrombus burden who further received pPCI. All participants received PCI with DS (second procedure performed within 48–72 h) or immediate-stenting (IS) strategy. The primary outcome was the incidence of no-/slow-reflow. We evaluated MACEs and bleeding events during hospitalization and at 30- and 90-day follow-ups. Results We recruited 245 patients to this study, including 51 with DS and 194 with IS. Baseline clinical characters were comparable between the 2 strategies. Incidence of no-/slow-reflow defined by thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade was not significantly different between the 2 strategies [DS: 5 (9.8%), IS: 33 (17.0%), P=0.21]. No-/slow-reflow by TIMI myocardial perfusion grade (TMPG) was less prevalent in DS [20 (39.2%) vs. 107 (55.2%), P=0.04]. No significant differences were found in recurrence of myocardial infarction (P=0.56), cardiac death (P=0.37), all-cause mortality (P=0.37), heart failure-induced readmission (P=0.35), or bleeding (P=0.61) between the 2 strategies in-hospital, and at 30- and 90-day follow-up. Conclusions In STEMI patients with high thrombus burden who underwent pPCI, DS strategy reduced no-/slow-reflow of microcirculation. However, DS strategy did not reduce incidence of MACEs or bleeding.
A correlation study of mathematics proficiency VS reading and spelling proficiency

Proficiency in mathematics, reading and writing/spelling has been tested for 2376 Norwegian students in grades 5, 6, 8 and 9. Proficiency in mathematics and reading comprehension was found to correlate as expected from previous studies. More interesting is that spelling, tested with a dictation, seems to correlate stronger with mathematics on grades 5 and 6 than comprehension does. This supports an assumption that there are more to the correlation between proficiency in language and mathematics than the ability to read and understand the mathematical task.
The Relationship Between Critical Thinking and Clinical Decision-Making in Emergency Nurses of Hospitals Affiliated to Zanjan University of Medical Sciences in 2020

Background: Critical thinking is a purposeful and self-directed judgment that is achieved through interpretation, analysis, evaluation, and inference. It makes nurses able to reason correctly about patient problems and issues and make the right decisions. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the status of critical thinking and clinical decisionmaking and determine their relationship with emergency department nurses. Methods: This descriptive correlational study was performed among 320 nurses in the emergency department of hospitals affiliated to Zanjan University of Medical Sciences selected by available census method. The research instruments included the California Critical Thinking Skills Test (CCTST) and the 2014 Clinical Decision Making Scale (CDMS) by Lauri et al. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 19 software and descriptive and analytical statistics. Results: The mean scores of clinical decision-making and critical thinking were 81.5±1.35 and 10.05±3.13, respectively. There was a weak and significant positive correlation between clinical decision-making and critical thinking (r=0.133, P=0.001). Clinical decision-making was significantly associated with age, gender, and work experience, and critical thinking was significantly associated with age, education, and work experience (P<0.05). Conclusion: Due to the poor critical thinking skill and the weak relationship between critical thinking and clinical decision-making observed, it is recommended to hold training and empowerment courses to strengthen critical thinking skills in nurses. On the other hand, strengthening critical thinking can improve nurses' clinical decision-making skills.
Job Demands-Resources Model and Burnout among Penang Preschool Teachers: The Mediating Role of Work Engagement

The vulnerability to burnout among teachers from Penang preschool has become an intense issue to be addressed. Moreover, preschool teachers struggle with more burnout when job demands are high and when job resources are limited. Therefore, this paper aims to inspect the predictors of burnout among preschool teachers. Besides, the potential role of work engagement as a mediating variable was also examined in the paper. There was a total of 102 participants by Penang preschool teachers in the research. The study discovered that work engagement was in a significant negative relationship with burnout. Meanwhile, job demands were in a significant negative relationship with work engagement whereas job resources were in a significant positive relationship with work engagement. Furthermore, it is determined that job demands and job resources possessed a significant indirect relationship with burnout respectively, through work engagement as a mediator. The outcomes of this study are advantageous to both scholars and practitioners who wish to safeguard and minimize the burnout levels among preschool teachers.
Community Prevalence and Risk Factors for Psychological Abuse in India

Violence against women has been recognized by the United Nations as a fundamental violation of women’s human rights. Although there is a good amount of research on physical violence, very little on psychological abuse from Indian researchers. In India too, domestic violence is prevalent in all sections of the community. The objectives of the study are to find the prevalence of psychological abuse in different stratum in India and the risk factors of psychological violence. A cross-sectional study based on 9938 women in rural, urban, and urban non-slum sites across India was conducted in 1998–1999. Logistic regression was done to find the risk factors of psychological violence. Despite the limitations of the 9426 women responded psychological violence, 3306 (35.1%) (95%CI: 23.1, 47.0) reported any psychological abuse in the past 1 year. The women who had lower education, from lower socioeconomic status (SES) and whose mothers-in-law not satisfied with dowry had higher risk for psychological abuse. There was a synergistic effect in psychological abuse if the woman is from low SES and the husband is an alcoholic and the risk is 7.4 times higher as compared to women who did not have both. However, alcoholism had significant independent effect when this was interacted with satisfaction of dowry. We suggest that the families should avoid asking and giving dowries. Besides these, the newly married women should be counseled to handle the conflicts at the family level so that the physical and psychological abuses can be avoided.
A Review of Infertility, Lifestyle, and Physical Activity

Infertility is a health problem that affects about 10-15% of couples worldwide. Infertility is defined as the inability of couples to successfully conceive a child after one year of unprotected sex. The causes of infertility are often not easily identified. However, this disorder appears to be due to genetic or environmental factors, some of which may be modifiable and may be considered as a treatment option. The use of emerging infertility treatment technologies has been somewhat effective. However, these methods are very expensive and, in some cases, their success rate is relatively low. A sedentary lifestyle can lead to several disorders such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer and conditions such as obesity. Obesity can have a negative effect on the fertility of couples. Overall, it seems that changing the sedentary lifestyle and increasing physical activity by performing regular exercise training can enhance the chances of fertility. However, it should be noted that strenuous exercise training has a negative effect on fertility.
Investigating the Effect of Excess Stock Returns Volatility on Investors’ Heterogeneous Perceptions: Investment Horizons Test

The nature of each investment is not something but to make more profit and more returns for investors. Accordingly, shareholders always seek to control the potential risks of investment through better market intelligence. Nevertheless, excess stock returns volatility caused by impairment in predicting expected returns do not allow investor perceptions in a market to be unified, and most decisions will be affected by emotions even at higher horizons. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of excess stock returns volatility on heterogeneous perceptions of investors with the mediating role of investment horizons. The statistical population of the research is the companies listed at the Tehran Stock Exchange. By systematic elimination sampling, 89 companies were selected as the sample that was studied during the period 2013 to 2017. In this research, due to the dummy nature of the dependent variable, logistic regression was used to test the research hypotheses. The results showed that the effect of excess stock returns volatility on investors’ heterogeneous perceptions is positive and significant. It was also found that investment horizons exacerbated the positive impact of excess stock returns volatility on investors’ heterogeneous perceptions.
OBSERVATIONS IN CONTROLLING HELICOBACTER PYLORI BETWEEN TRIPLE REGIME AND SEQUENTIAL REGIME.

Objective: To compare conventional triple regime and sequential regime in controlling of Helicobacter Pylori. Methods: The study was conducted at Medical OPD Military Hospital, Rawalpindi for six months. The consecutive (nonprobability sampling) technique was used. All patients fulfilling inclusion criteria and diagnosed according to operational definition of Helicobacter Pylori infection were selected. All the information was entered, assessed and results were obtained through SPSS. Results: According to our study the cases mean age was 36.23±10.87 years, ratio between male, female was 1.07:1. Overall efficacy achieved in 289 (67.21%) patients (124 in set A and 165 in set B). So according to results sequential therapy has got much higher results as compared to triple therapy group. Conclusion: It has been proved in our study that the sequential regime has got significantly better results than conventional triple regime in the management of Helicobacter Pylori eradication
