Psychiatric Disorders in Children of Parents With Substance Dependence Disorder

Objectives: Children of addicted parents exhibit depression, anxiety, and elevated rates of psychiatric disorders more frequently than do children from nonaddicted families. Hence, we conducted this research to illustrate the psychiatric illness of children of substance-dependent parents. Materials and Methods: The study included 50 children [25 with a parent diagnosed with substance use disorder according Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-4th edition criteria (group A), and 25 whose parents had no psychiatric diagnosis according to general health questionnaire (group B)]. The subjects were recruited from the Heliopolis Psychiatric Hospital, which is a Ministry of Health Hospital. They were assessed using the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview for Children and Adolescents (MINI KID) scale. We, furthermore, assessed the relation between the Addiction Severity Index, type of substance used by group A parents, and the MINI KID scale. Results: Group A showed more significant diagnosis than group B (P=0.037) by the MINI KID scale (major depressive disorder, dysthymia, panic disorder, agoraphobia, and separation anxiety disorder) (P=0.018, 0.037, 0.042, 0.021, and 0.004, respectively). Hence, the substance abuse parent has a detrimental effect on their children’s well-being. As regards the relation between addiction severity and result of MINI KID scale in group A, only “employment” was significant (P=0.025). Surprisingly, neither the severity of substance abused nor the type of substance abused by the parent had significant relation with the diagnosed psychiatric disorders in their children. Conclusions: Our study found that the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in children increases when their parents have substance use disorder. Moreover, the variation of the severity of parent addiction does not affect the risk for having psychiatric disorders in their children.
Decomposing Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Nursing Home Quality of Life

This study examines the racial/ethnic disparity among nursing home (NH) residents using a self-reported, validated measure of quality of life (QoL) among long-stay residents in Minnesota. Blinder–Oaxaca decomposition techniques determine which resident and facility factors are the potential sources of the racial/ethnic disparities in QoL. Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color (BIPOC) report lower QoL than White residents. Facility structural characteristics and being a NH with a high proportion of residents who are BIPOC are the factors that have the largest explanatory share of the disparity. Modifiable characteristics like staffing levels explain a small share of the disparity. To improve the QoL of BIPOC NH residents, efforts need to focus on addressing systemic disparities for NHs with a high proportion of residents who are BIPOC.
Simulation the Behavior of Passive Rigid Pile in Sandy Soil

This research studied the behavior of a rigid pile driven into sandy soil and subjected to soil movement. The behavior of the pile was simulated in two cases: loaded and unloaded. The modeled piles were made of aluminum and had a diameter (D) of 10 mm. Embankment loads were applied at three different distances from the face of the pile (2.5, 5, and 10) D. Strain gauges were fixed at four points along the pile shaft using a half-bridge configuration to measure the strains resulted from the lateral movement of the soil. The results obtained from the physical model were the lateral and vertical movements at the surface of the soil and the bending strain along the pile shaft. These results were analyzed numerically to calculate the bending moment, pile rotation, pile deflection, shear force, and soil reaction profiles. Some of these results were measured experimentally and others were calculated theoretically based on the measured strains. The maximum deflection of the axially loaded pile was more than that in the unloaded pile by 26%, 108%, and 159%, with the embankment at distances (2.5, 5, and 10) D, respectively. The rigid pile provided more resistance to the pressure generated from the soil movement.
Odor Annoyance Assessment by Using Logistic Regression on an Example of the Municipal Sector

Around the sewage treatment plant, in the area affected by a large number of complaints about odor annoyance, field measurements of odor properties and questionnaires were carried out. It was confirmed that the inhabitants of the zone closest to the plant are most exposed to the smell, the most intense smell comes from the sludge dryer building, and smells from primary settling tanks and sediment plots are perceived as unpleasant. The analysis of surveys confirmed the problem of odor nuisance, especially in the immediate vicinity, where over 50% of respondents considered odor annoyance as extreme. A division of respondents was introduced into those experiencing severe nuisance and those for whom the smell was not annoying. Then, to relate the probability of occurrence of odor nuisance with a group of independent variables, logistic regression was used to describe the impact of independent variables on the dichotomous dependent variable. It has been shown that the likelihood of experiencing odor nuisance increases with the increase in the intensity of current odors, the parallel noise, and in people who focus on the existing smell, and decreases with increasing satisfaction with their health and in the case of regularly occurring odor.
North Atlantic Oscillation response in GeoMIP experiments G6solar and G6sulfur: why detailed modelling is needed for understanding regional implications of solar radiation management

Abstract. The realization of the difficulty of limiting global-mean temperatures to within 1.5 or 2.0 ∘C above pre-industrial levels stipulated by the 21st Conference of Parties in Paris has led to increased interest in solar radiation management (SRM) techniques. Proposed SRM schemes aim to increase planetary albedo to reflect more sunlight back to space and induce a cooling that acts to partially offset global warming. Under the auspices of the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project, we have performed model experiments whereby global temperature under the high-forcing SSP5-8.5 scenario is reduced to follow that of the medium-forcing SSP2-4.5 scenario. Two different mechanisms to achieve this are employed: the first via a reduction in the solar constant (experiment G6solar) and the second via modelling injections of sulfur dioxide (experiment G6sulfur) which forms sulfate aerosol in the stratosphere. Results from two state-of-the-art coupled Earth system models (UKESM1 and CESM2-WACCM6) both show an impact on the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) in G6sulfur but not in G6solar. Both models show a persistent positive anomaly in the NAO during the Northern Hemisphere winter season in G6sulfur, suggesting an increase in zonal flow and an increase in North Atlantic storm track activity impacting the Eurasian continent and leading to high-latitude warming over Europe and Asia. These results are broadly consistent with previous findings which show similar impacts from stratospheric volcanic aerosol on the NAO and emphasize that detailed modelling of geoengineering processes is required if accurate impacts of SRM effects are to be simulated. Differences remain between the two models in predicting regional changes over the continental USA and Africa, suggesting that more models need to perform such simulations before attempting to draw any conclusions regarding potential continental-scale climate change under SRM.
A Global Evaluation of Surgical Techniques and Results of Unilateral Cleft Lip Repairs

Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text Background: Variations in the clinical presentation of the unilateral cleft lip resulted in numerous surgical repair techniques used around the world. No universally accepted method exists to evaluate aesthetic surgical results. The purpose of this study is to use the Hubli lip grading system, developed by Smile Train, to evaluate the aesthetic results of unilateral cleft lip repairs based on the surgical technique used. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of unilateral cleft lip repair operations performed by Smile Train surgeons throughout Africa, Americas, Asia Pacific, and Europe and Middle East between 2014 and 2018. Using the Hubli lip grading criteria, factoring in cleft severity, acceptable outcomes were identified and compared with the surgical technique used. Results: Eight thousand forty-one unilateral cleft lip repairs were reviewed. The majority utilized the rotational advancement technique (n = 5541, 68.9%) with a statistically significant percentage of acceptable outcomes (92.1%), followed by an acceptance rate of 91.9% with variations of the z-plasty technique, 90.5% with the straight-line repair and its variations, and 88.4% using “other” techniques (P < 0.05). The rotational advancement had the highest acceptable outcomes for complete cleft lips (94.7%, P < 0.0001), associated alveolar clefting (94.2%, P < 0.05), and concomitant clefting of the hard and/or soft palate (94.3%, P < 0.05). Conclusion: Regardless of surgical technique used, Smile Train surgeons maintain high rates of successful surgical outcomes. Results of our study will help complement and support existing medical infrastructure and training systems Smile Train employs for surgeons working with comprehensive cleft care teams around the world.
Does financial development stimulate environmental sustainability? Evidence from a panel study of 115 countries

This paper investigates the moderation effect of financial development (FD) on the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC). Using comprehensive panel data of 115 countries spanning the 1990–2016 period and dividing the countries into different income groups, the researcher found systematic differences in the relationship between significant indicators of environmental degradation and economic growth. More specifically, the interaction effect of FD on the relationship between gross domestic product (GDP) growth and CO2 emissions are positive; nevertheless, the interaction effect of FD on the relationship between GDP squared and CO2 emissions become negative for all income groups and therefore supports the EKC. Moreover, the interaction effect of FD is negative on the relationship of GDP with both CH4 and PM2.5 emissions in the middle‐income groups, whereas the interaction effect of FD on the relationship between GDP squared and PM2.5 emissions are negative for the high‐income group. Our results suggest that FD can reduce environmental degradation without adversely impacting on growth.
Drop Size Dependence of the Apparent Surface Tension of Aqueous Solutions in Hexane Vapor as Studied by Drop Profile Analysis Tensiometry

Surface tension experiments were performed using the drop profile analysis tensiometry method. The hexane was injected into the measuring cell at certain times before the formation of the solution drop. The influence of the capillary diameter and solution drop size on the measured apparent dynamic surface tension was studied. The amount of hexane transferred from the vapor phase to the drop was estimated. For large pure water drops, it was shown that the ageing of the drop in the hexane vapor during a long time resulted in the formation of a liquid hexane phase covering the drop, but the volume of this phase did not exceed 0.5 mm3. On the contrary, for surfactant solution drops the volume of the hexane phase covering the drop was essentially larger. Experiments with solution drops were performed to measure the surface tension within a wide range of surfactant concentration. It was found that the dependencies of dynamic surface tension on the C13DMPO and C14EO8 solutions concentration exhibit maxima at concentrations of about 1–2 μmol/L for C14EO8 and 2–5 μmol/L for C13DMPO at ageing times of 100 to 1000 s; these maxima were shown to exist also at equilibrium. This phenomenon is presumably ascribed to the competitive character of simultaneous adsorption of hexane and surfactant.

Being Mindful at University: A Pilot Evaluation of the Feasibility of an Online Mindfulness-Based Mental Health Support Program for Students

University study can be a life period of heightened psychological distress for many students. The development of new preventive and intervention programs to support well-being in university students is a fundamental challenge for mental health professionals. We designed an 8-week online mindfulness-based program (eMBP) combining a face-to-face approach, text, audio, video components, and support psychotherapy principles with a unique intensive reminder system using the Facebook Messenger and Slack applications in two separate runs (N = 692). We assessed the program’s effect on mindful experiencing, perceived stress, emotion regulation strategies, self-compassion, negative affect, and quality of life. The results of the presented pilot study confirmed that eMBP is a feasible and effective tool in university students’ mental health support. The students who completed the eMBP reported a reduction of perceived stress with a large effect size (pη2 = 0.42) as well as a decrease of negative affect experience frequency and intensity (pη2 = 0.31), an increase of being mindful in their life (Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire subscales:pη2 = 0.21, 0.27, 0.25, 0.28, 0.28), and a higher rate of self-compassion (pη2 = 0.28) with a medium effect size. A small effect size was found in the frequency of using a cognitive reappraisal strategy (pη2 = 0.073). One new result is the observation of an eMBP effect (pη2 = 0.27) on the decrease in attributed importance to the quality-of-life components replicated in two consecutive runs of the program. The study affirms that mindfulness-based interventions can be effectively delivered in an eHealth form to university students.
Expression and distribution of synaptotagmin isoforms in the zebrafish retina

Synaptotagmins belong to a large family of proteins. While various synaptotagmins have been implicated as Ca2+ sensors for vesicle replenishment and release at conventional synapses, their roles at retinal ribbon synapses remain incompletely understood. Zebrafish is a widely used experimental model for retinal research. We therefore investigated the homology between human, rat, mouse, and zebrafish synaptotagmins 1 to 10 using a bioinformatics approach. We also characterized the expression and distribution of various synaptotagmin (syt) genes in the zebrafish retina using RT-PCR and in situ hybridization, focusing on the family members whose products likely underlie Ca2+-dependent exocytosis in the central nervous system (synaptotagmins 1, 2, 5 and 7). We find that most zebrafish synaptotagmins are well conserved and can be grouped in the same classes as mammalian synaptotagmins, based on crucial amino acid residues needed for coordinating Ca2+ binding and determining phospholipid binding affinity. The only exception is synaptotagmin 1b, which lacks 34 amino acid residues in the C2B domain and is therefore unlikely to bind Ca2+ there. Additionally, the products of zebrafish syt5a and syt5b genes share identity with mammalian class 1 and 5 synaptotagmins. Zebrafish syt1, syt2, syt5 and syt7 paralogues are found in the zebrafish brain, eye, and retina, excepting syt1b, which is only present in the brain. The complementary expression pattern of the remaining paralogues in the retina suggests that syt1a and syt5a may underlie synchronous release and syt7a and syt7b may mediate asynchronous release or other Ca2+ dependent processes in different types of retinal neurons.
Anti-retro viral therapy adverse drug reaction and associated factors among human immuno deficiency virus infected adult patients at Nigist Eleni Mohammed Memorial hospital, South Ethiopia

Abstract Background Recent increases in access to HAART have made the management of drug toxicities an increasingly crucial component of HIV care in developing countries. The aim of this study was to determine prevalence of antiretroviral therapy adverse drug reactions and associated factors among HIV-infected adult patients at Nigist Eleni Mohammed memorial hospital. Methods A cross sectional study was conducted by retrospective review of patients' medical records. From a total 721 adult patient records, 231 patients record were selected by simple random sampling technique. The study was conducted April 15-25, 2015.The association between dependent and independent variables was measured by using OR at 95% CI. P-value <0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Result About 53(22.9%) patients developed ADRs (adverse drug reactions). Female (AOR=2.72, CI=1.177–6.30), patients with WHO stage III and IV (AOR= 13.06, CI=4.17–40.90) were found more likely to develop ADRs. Commonly identified ADRs were fatigue (18.1%), diarrhea (7.7%), nausea (6.5%), headache (3.6%) and anemia (2%). Conclusion Nearly one in five patients develop ADRs. Sex of respondents, WHO stage and functional status were associated with ADRs. The health care providers should give due attention to ambulatory, bedridden, and WHO stage III and IV patients.
Ortaokul Öğrencilerinin Artırılmış Gerçeklik Uygulamalarının Eğitimde Kullanımına Yönelik Tutumları: Siirt İli Örneği

The aim of this study is to analyse the attitudes of secondary school students towards the use of augmented reality applications in education. Concurrent triangulation research design which is one of the mixed model methods has been used in the study. The participants of the study consist of 44 students who are receiving education in the 6th grade of a secondary school in Siirt province during 2018-2019 academic year. Convenience sampling method has been used in the selection of the study group. In the quantitative part, ‘’Augmented Reality Applications Attitude Scale’’ has been used in order to determine the attitudes of the participants related to the augmented reality applications. In the qualitative part, semi-structured interview form has been used. SPSS 21 program and descriptive analysis method procedures have been applied for data analysis. As a result of the data obtained from the study, it was found that augmented reality applications positively affect the attitude levels of secondary school students towards their use in education and they had positive opinions. In this study, it was observed that anxiety of the students regarding the use of augmented reality applications in education decreased and their willingness to use these applications increased. Students' satisfaction with the use of augmented reality applications in education increased; however, it was not statistically significant. In the study, it was seen that both male and female students had the same level of attitudes towards the use of augmented reality applications in education.
Temperature Control on Silicate Weathering Intensity and Evolution of the Neogene East Asian Summer Monsoon

Accurately reconstructing the evolution of the Asian monsoon is predicated on understanding the impact of temperature, precipitation, and tectonic paleogeography on silicate weathering proxies over million year timescales. We find that decreasing trends in chemical weathering proxies in both the northern and southern Tibetan Plateau match those from benthic oxygen isotope and sea surface temperature stacks since the late Miocene. In contrast, a synthesis of magnetic parameter‐based records and marine clastic flux records reveals stronger monsoon precipitation during both the warm middle Miocene and cool late Miocene, supporting model simulations showing that both paleogeography and atmospheric CO2 content are important in controlling the summer monsoon. This trend of increasing monsoon precipitation contrasts with the record of decreasing chemical weathering, suggesting that chemical weathering proxies are mainly regulated by temperature at million year timescales, rather than precipitation. These findings clarify reconstructions of the Cenozoic evolution of the East Asian summer monsoon.
Measuring norms using social survey data

Abstract This paper proposes a novel measure of civic norm compliance. We combine the literature on norm compliance from institutional economics and social philosophy. Institutional economics draws on survey data to measure civic norms, whereas social philosophy offers a theoretical framework that proves fruitful when used to operationalize civic norms. This paper shows that significantly different results emerge when the operationalization of civic norms in institutional economics draws on the theoretical framework that social philosophy offers. Furthermore, this study is relevant for social philosophy too, as it shows the potential of survey data as a test-bed for philosophical theories of norm compliance.
