Relationship Between Urination Disorders and Anxiety Level in School Children Aged 5-12 Years with Enuresis: A Descriptive Study

Introduction: Enuresis and urination disorders are a common problem in school-age children. When untreated, they can persist into adolescence or even adulthood. Aims: This study aimed to determine the relationship between urination disorders and anxiety level in 5-to 12-year-old school children diagnosed as having enuresis. Methods: Data pertaining to 238 children with enuresis were collected using a sociodemographic form, the Dysfunctional Voiding and Incontinence Symptoms Score (DVISS) Questionnaire, and the Sources of Anxiety in School-Aged Children with Enuresis (SACE) Questionnaire. The data were analyzed using independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis. Results: We determined that 71.4% of the children wet mostly at night and 63.4% had not received any previous treatment. The mean (SD) DVISS total score of the children was 13.41 (6.34) and the mean (SD) SACE total score was 59.28 (16.33). Scores in the SACE disease-related anxiety subscale positively correlated with DVISS total and symptom scores (P < .05). Conclusions: This study suggests that urination disorders may be associated with anxiety levels in 5-to 12-year-old school children diagnosed as having enuresis.
Automatic and optimized firewall reconfiguration

—The continuous innovation in network softwariza-tion has enabled higher dynamism and responsiveness in creating and deploying complex network conﬁgurations. Following this trend, several approaches have been proposed to automate the allocation and conﬁguration of network security functions to satisfy a set of network security policies, describing the security requirements to be fulﬁlled in the network. In particular, many studies focused on addressing this problem for the packet ﬁltering ﬁrewall, as it is the most common ﬁrewall technology used in computer networks. However, those proposed techniques for automatic ﬁrewall conﬁguration are not optimized for reconﬁguring an already deployed network. This results in a computation delay that is incompatible with the needs of modern networks and the timing of current network attacks. In order to overcome these limitations, this paper proposes an efﬁcient method to reduce the computation time for reconﬁguration while providing an automated, formally correct, and optimal placement and conﬁguration of the required network security functions. The proposal has undergone validation and evaluation tests, so as to show the achieved improvements in comparison to non-optimized approaches.
The Impact of China’s Economic Growth on Crude Oil Price: Evidence from Structural VAR

This paper examines the impact of Chinese economic growth on the real price of crude oil based on monthly time series data from 1992:01 to 2017:06 using structural vector auto-regression (SVAR). The variables of the SVAR model are global crude oil production, index of global economic activity, China’s real GDP and real price of crude oil. Due to a break in the real price of oil series during the 2008 global financial crisis, the data is divided into two intervals. The results for the period prior to the 2008 crisis show that global demand shocks had a significant impact, while shocks from Chinese economic activity and global oil supply were insignificant. However, the results for the post 2008 period demonstrate that demand shocks of the Chinese economy have a significant but delayed impact, while global supply shocks have an immediate impact. The findings indicate a new regime after the 2008 crisis with a resurgence of a supply driven crude oil market structure that is influenced by Chinese economic performance.
Stigma and Health Implicit Ethnic–Racial Self-Stereotyping’s Relation to Children’s Body Mass Index and Diet: The Moderating Role of Self-Esteem

Childhood obesity in the United States has disproportionately affected Latinx and Black children. The authors examine this issue by drawing upon implicit social cognition theory and social – psychological models of health and stress to propose and test a relation between negative implicit self-stereotyping and body mass index (BMI) and diet. Furthermore, it was predicted that self-esteem would buffer this relation because it is a psychological resource that functions to protect against stressors like the psychological experience of stigma. The authors recruited a community sample of 9 – 12-year-old Latinx and Black childrenandmeasuredindividualdifferencesinimplicitandexplicitassociationsbetweentheselfandgroupstereotypes,self-esteem,objectiveBMI,anddiet.Consistentwiththemainhypotheses,strongnegative implicit (but not explicit) self-stereotyping was associated with higher levels of body mass indices in the obesity range and less healthy diet, but only among children with low self-esteem.

The usefulness of Giemsa staining to diagnose Helicobacter pylori in patients with preneoplastic lesions

Introduction: Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium associated with inflammatory and neoplastic gastroduodenal diseases. Histopathology is one of the diagnostic methods used for its detection, which has a sensitivity of 90% to 95% when there is a high density of H. pylori ; however, the bacterium may be missed in low-density infections be - cause routine hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining is not specific for its detection and has interobserver variability. This study aimed to determine the usefulness of complementary Giemsa staining for diagnosing H. pylori in preneoplastic lesions where the bacterium was found in low density. Materials and methods: A retrospective/ prospective descriptive study was carried out that included 65 patients diagnosed with preneoplastic lesions. Gastric biopsies were stained with H&E and Giemsa and evaluated by two pathologists. Results: Giemsa staining analyzed 20.3% more cases of H. pylori than H&E, most with a low density of the bacteria. There were no statistically significant differences in the diagnosis of H. pylori according to the sample type. Conclusion : This study found that Giemsa staining improves the histopathological diagnosis of H. pylori in patients with preneoplastic lesions.
Central Lancashire Online Knowledge (CLoK)

Caffeine use is widespread in sport, with a strong evidence base demonstrating its ergogenic effect. Based on existing research, current guidelines recommend ingestion of 3–9 mg/kg approximately 60 min prior to exercise. However, the magnitude of performance enhancement following caffeine ingestion differs substantially between individuals, with the spectrum of responses ranging between highly ergogenic to ergolytic. These extensive inter-individual response distinctions are mediated by variation in individual genotype, environmental factors, and the legacy of prior experiences partially mediated via epigenetic mechanisms. Here, we brieﬂy review the drivers of this inter-individual variation in caffeine response, focusing on the impact of common polymorphisms within two genes, CYP1A2 and ADORA2A. Contemporary evidence suggests current standardised guidelines are optimal for only a sub-set of the athlete population. Clearer understanding of the factors under-pinning inter-individual variation potentially facilitates a more nuanced, and individually and context-speciﬁc cus-tomisation of caffeine ingestion guidelines, speciﬁc to an individual’s biology, history, and competitive situation. Finally, we identify current knowledge deﬁcits in this area, along with future associated research questions.
Optimizing a prediction-based, mixed-asset portfolio including REITs

—The real estate asset class has captured the attention of billions of global investors due to its ability to generate consistent returns and offer diversification benefits within a mixed-asset portfolio. Prior research has highlighted the advantages of including real estate in portfolio optimization. However, existing studies have primarily focused on historical data when addressing this optimization problem. This paper presents an analysis of the performance of a portfolio that incorporates real estate using price predictions derived from a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model. To provide a comprehensive evaluation, we compare the performance of our portfolio against a benchmark portfolio consisting of stocks and bonds only. To this end, we run a genetic algorithm on the two portfolios. Our findings demonstrate a substantial improvement in the average risk-adjusted return of the portfolio that includes real estate with a magnitude of around 100%, highlighting the substantial value that real estate brings to a diversified portfolio. In this way, we propose a novel approach for showing the benefits of investing in real estate.
Strong Claims and Weak Evidence: Reassessing the Predictive Strong Claims and Weak Evidence: Reassessing the Predictive Validity of the IAT Validity of the IAT

The authors reanalyzed data from 2 influential studies—A. R. McConnell and J. M. Leibold (2001) and J. C. Ziegert and P. J. Hanges (2005)—that explore links between implicit bias and discriminatory behavior and that have been invoked to support strong claims about the predictive validity of the Implicit Association Test. In both of these studies, the inclusion of race Implicit Association Test scores in regression models reduced prediction errors by only tiny amounts, and Implicit Association Test scores did not permit prediction of individual-level behaviors. Furthermore, the results were not robust when the impact of rater reliability, statistical specifications, and/or outliers were taken into account, and reanalysis of A. R. McConnell & J. M. Leibold (2001) revealed a pattern of behavior consistent with a pro-Black behavioral bias, rather than the anti-Black bias suggested in the original study.
Determining the Relationship between the Traditional Methods Used to Cope with Stress by Nurses Working During the Long Covid-19 Pandemic and the Quality of Life

Background: The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between the traditional methods used by nurses to cope with stress and the quality of life. Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the traditional methods used to cope with stress by nurses and the quality of life during the long COVID-19. Method: This study employed a cross-sectional descriptive survey design. Results: Nurses used the most in coping with stress were taking a warm shower (70%), listening to relaxing music (70%), and using positive thinking methods (60.7%). The stres scores of nurses who used positive thinking methods were lower than those who did not use this method; the energy (p<0.05), mental health (p<0.05) and general health perception (p<0.05) subscales scores were high (p<0.05). Conclusions: Nurses’ quality of life moderately improved through traditional methods of positive thinking and aromatherapy. According to research results, the use different traditional methods in reducing the stress and increasing the quality-of-life levels of nurses working in situations such as a COVID-19 pandemic is recommended after being informed about the methods.
Tilburg University Prediction of depression in the postpartum period

Aim: The present study investigates both the antenatal prediction of the occurrence of depression during the first year postpartum and the course of depression in populations at different degrees of risk. Methods: In a population-based prospective study, 1618 women were screened during mid-pregnancy for risk factors with regard to depression. High-risk and low-risk women were identified, and depression (Research Diagnostic Criteria, RDC) was assessed at 32 weeks gestation and at 3, 6, and 12 months postpartum. Results: In the high-risk group (n = 97), 25% of the women were depressed during the first year postpartum compared to 6% of the low-risk women (n = 87). At 3 months postpartum, significantly more high-risk (17%) than low-risk women (1%) were depressed. While prevalence rates decreased after 3 months postpartum in the high-risk group, no significant fluctuations of prevalence rates were found in the low-risk group. Two risk factors were independently predictive of depression during the postpartum period: a personal history of depression, and high depressive symptomatology during mid-pregnancy. Conclusions: Women at high risk and low risk for depression during the early postpartum period can be detected during pregnancy. High-risk women were only at particular risk during the first 3 months postpartum. D 2002 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
An Integrated Few-Mode Power Splitter Based on Multimode Interference

A 1 × 2 integrated four-mode power splitter based on multimode interference is proposed and experimentally demonstrated for the first time. A three-dimensional simulation is used to optimize the core/cladding refractive index difference and the input waveguide position for the TE00, TE01, TE10, and TE11 input waveguide modes. Minimum insertion loss (IL) and mode-dependent loss (MDL) of 0.1 and 0.2 dB are predicted, respectively. IL and MDL less than 1 dB can be maintained over a bandwidth of approximately 50 and 25 nm, respectively. The device was fabricated on SiO2 and experimentally characterized. The variation of the power splitting ratio for each mode is less than 0.4 dB over the full C-band, and the excess losses of the splitter for all four modes exceed the IL of a straight waveguide by less than 1.85 dB.
Mass accumulation rate and monsoon records from Xifeng, Chinese Loess Plateau, based on a luminescence age model

Luminescence dating of loess accumulation in China has raised questions over disturbance and gaps in the record, the magnitude of mass accumulation rates (MARs), and monsoon forcing mechanisms. Here we present a detailed quartz optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) chronology from the Xifeng Chinese Loess Plateau site. We reconstruct MARs and construct an age model for monsoon proxies at the site. The luminescence ages show significant pedogenic and anthropogenic disturbance in material deposited after ca. 20–22 ka. Analysis of other published data suggests that this disturbance may be more common than previously realized. MARs from undisturbed portions of Xifeng vary dramatically, with peaks potentially matching the timing of Heinrich events. The last glacial maximum peak MAR (22–27 ka) matches the Pacific and Greenland dust flux records, although appears earlier than peak MARs seen in many other OSL‐dated Loess Plateau sites. East Asian monsoon grain‐size and magnetic susceptibility records also show several differences between independently dated loess sites. This complicates our understanding of any lag between insolation forcing and monsoon response. Nevertheless, the Xifeng climate proxy changes show apparent broad agreement with the timing of Heinrich events in the North Atlantic, supporting assertions of a climatic teleconnection between the two areas.
Time of Application of Fluoride Varnish versus Resin-Based Fissure Sealant in Newly Erupted Permanent Molars in Group of Egyptian Children: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Aim: This study aims to determine the application time of fluoride varnish (FV) versus resin-based fissure sealant (RBS) required to prevent caries in newly erupted permanent molars in a group of Egyptian children. Subjects and methods: This is a randomized clinical trial with two arms, parallel groups, and allocation-blinded. The total number of participants was 182, with ages ranging from 6 to 8 years. The participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups: RBS as a control and FV as an intervention. The participants were treated by 2 post-graduate students (91) teeth in each part. In part 1, (45) teeth were in the FV group, and (46) teeth were in the RBS group. Of the 91 teeth only 89 teeth completed the follow-up at 6 and 12 months. Outcomes measured were the time of application which was calculated by a stopwatch. Results: The results revealed that at the time of application, the base time results showed that FV had a significantly lower application time than RBS (p<0.001). While the difference after 6 and 12 months was not statistically significant (p>0.05). The odds ratio for treatment unacceptability in the FV group was 0.31, indicating that the odds of treatment unacceptability in the FV group were not statistically inferior to those in the RBS group. Conclusion: The results of our trial demonstrated no significant difference between FV and RBS in caries prevention and the time of application for FV was shorter than RBS. Due to its lower cost, shorter time, and simplicity, we recommend the use of FV as a preventive material in dental public health programs, but RBS in a private dental clinic. Both FV and RBS were acceptable for children.
Developing Wordlist for Primary Science Textbooks in Dual Language Programme

Dual Language Programme (DLP) is an initiative programme to produce students who can understand and communicate in English language. The implementation of the programme in a school is optional, which means the decision to have a DLP in a particular school is left to the school headmaster and parents, as parent groups played a critical role to bring back English as a medium of instruction in the national school system. However, one of main issues in the DLP implementation is students’ linguistic readiness to learn in English, particularly students in primary school. This paper discusses how language used in science textbooks (Years 1-6) were analysed using the readability reference manager Text Inspector to generate the wordlist. Thus, this study examines the readability of the textbooks used in primary school to understand the level of difficulty of the language. The preliminary finding showed that the readability of primary science textbooks is way beyond CEFR A2. Hence, this study proposes to generate a wordlist for science textbooks in DLP in primary schools based on CEFR readability levels.
