Self-efficacy as a mediator of the relationship between meaning in life and subjective well-being in cardiac patients

results Meaning in life and self-efficacy were significantly related to the each other and two dimensions of subjective wellbeing. Using path analysis we confirmed the direct effects of meaning in life on life satisfaction and positive affect and indirect effects of meaning in life on life satisfaction, positive affect, and negative affect. Self-efficacy was found to be a partial mediator in the relationship between meaning in life with life satisfaction and positive affect. As there was no direct path between meaning in life and negative affect, meaning in life was a full mediator between these factors.
Public Perceptions and Knowledge of, and Responses to, Bats in Urban Areas in Peninsular Malaysia

ABSTRACT Urbanization has resulted in the loss of natural habitat for many bat species, often placing bats in close proximity to humans. Bats are generally perceived as agricultural and medical pests, despite providing ecosystem services including seed dispersal and pollination. Understanding public perceptions and knowledge of bats as well as responses to bats is necessary for developing suitable educational programs to support bat conservation. Here we examined the urban communities’ knowledge of bats and how they perceive and respond to bats in Peninsular Malaysia. A questionnaire survey of 340 respondents revealed that women generally had better knowledge of bats compared with men. Respondents with tertiary education and knowledge of the ecological roles of bats tended to support the conservation of bats. In addition, there was low demand for bat meat in this region. Family-based educational programs could help to improve the perception of bats among women and increase knowledge of bats among men. Educational programs highlighting the biology and ecology of bats should be conducted at primary and secondary schools to raise awareness of bats among children who could share this knowledge of bats with their family members.
Culturally-Differentiated Batterer Intervention Programs for Immigrant Male Batterers (IMB): An Integrative Review

ABSTRACT Batterer Intervention Programs (BIPs) show minimal evidence of treatment efficacy in curbing post-intervention recidivism. These interventions demonstrate even less significant treatment potential for Immigrant Male Batterers (IMB) who contend with intersecting pre- and post-migration barriers to intervention uptake in BIPs in their host countries. Accordingly, best practices on treatment components of BIPs with promising results among IMB remain inconclusive. A search for quantitative and qualitative outcomes/intervention studies conducted in ten electronic databases revealed only eight studies that met inclusion criteria. Findings showed interventions targeting IMB compared the effects of new or modified curricula to standard curricula with immigrant vs. non-immigrant group comparison. Participants were typically newly migrated Hispanic men in the United States. Low to moderate partner violence was commonly reported. Culturally-specific programs utilized hybridized BIP curricula, bilingual facilitators, leveraged positive aspects of culture, and included batterers in the subsequent design of interventions. Allowing for group negotiations of cultural expressions of masculinity produced promising short-term results in changing IPV-tolerant attitudes. However, long-term impact remains inconclusive. Findings have implications for culture-congruent IMB intervention programs designed to address immigrant IPV outcomes and improve treatment uptake. Suggestions for future IMB intervention design are discussed.
Evaluation of posture and flexibility in ballet dancers

Objectives: Ballet dancers require a high level of control on their muscles in order to perform various dance figures. Special ballet moves require adaptive changes in order to maintain posture while performing classical ballet dance. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the differences in body postures and range of motion in certain joints between female classical ballet students and female non-dancer students. Methods: Fifty nine female university students participated in the study; 30 were studying classical ballet at Hacettepe University Ankara State Conservatory and 29 were studying at Baflkent University with no professional dancing history. Students in both groups were compared by conducting a body posture analysis anteriorly, laterally and posteriorly with the symmetrigraf chart. Range of motion of the joints was measured using a goniometer and distances were measured using an anthropometer. Results: Ballet education was a factor in the development of hallux valgus and genu varum deformities (p 0.05). The median values of body flexion and hyperextension showed statistically significant differences between the two groups (p<0.001). Conclusion: Postural defects caused by the adaptive changes that occur during ballet training can be assessed easily by using a symmetrigra. It is also possible to evaluate the degree of the deformities that can develop by time.
The nation under threat: secularist, racial and populist nativism in the Netherlands

ABSTRACT Right-wing discourses and issues of belonging and collective identity in Europe’s political and public spheres are often analysed in terms of Islamophobia, racism and populism. While acknowledging the value of these concepts, Kešić and Duyvendak argue that these discourses can be better understood through the logic of nativism. Their article opens with a conceptual clarification of nativism, which they define as an intense opposition to an internal minority that is seen as a threat to the nation due to its ‘foreignness’. This is followed by the analysis of nativism’s three subtypes: secularist nativism, problematizing particularly Islam and Muslims; racial nativism, problematizing black minorities; and populist nativism, problematizing ‘native’ elites. The authors show that the logic of nativism offers the advantages of both analytical precision and scope. The article focuses on the Dutch case as a specific illustration of a broader European trend.
Perceived constraints of campus recreational sports programs: Development and validation of an instrument

The aim of the present study was to develop and validate an instrument to measure students’ perceived constraints in participating in recreational sports programs in Greek universities. There were 3041 male and female Greek university students who voluntarily participated in the study. Cross-validation procedures using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis resulted in 25 retained items from the initial item pool, which form the University Sport Constraints Questionnaire (USCQ). Findings also showed a second-order factor structure of students’ perceived constraints. In particular, the USCQ items seem to assess nine first-order constraints, which are manifestations of three second-order factors. The USCQ seems to be a valid and reliable instrument for measuring students’ reasons for not participating in recreational sports programs. Key words: Constraints, leisure activities, instrument development, university sport, participation.
Too much information!? Examining the impact of different levels of transparency on consumers’ evaluations of targeted advertising

Online behavioral advertising is widely employed across the Internet. To mitigate the lack of transparency in tailored advertising and increase the acceptance of behavioral advertising, numerous platforms have adopted transparency measures by, for example, providing short explanations to users. We examine to what degree different levels of transparency, operationalized as degrees of detail, delivered through advertising explanations impact consumers’ evaluations of behavioral targeted advertising and their trust in the platform presenting the ad. Empirically, we relied on an online experiment involving 174 Facebook users. Results showed that ad explanations with a medium level of detail led to more favorable advertising evaluations among users compared to ad explanations with a high level of detail.
Diabète traité en France en 2007 : un taux de prévalence proche de 4 % et des disparités géographiques croissantes

Introduction – This study aims to update data on prevalence of diabetes treated in 2007 in France and to estimate geographic disparities from recent trends. Material-Methods – Study conducted using reimbursement data of the 56.5 million people insured by the general healthcare scheme. People treated for diabetes are defined by a prescription of antidiabetics for at least three times within the year 2007. Results – In 2007, the prevalence rate of people treated for diabetes was 3.95%, corresponding to 2.5 million individuals. The analysis of prevalence rates by age group indicates huge differences: 0-44 years old: 0.4%; 45-64 years old: 5.8%; 65-74 years old: 13.3%; 75 years and older: 13.4%. Above 40 years old, the risk is higher for men than for women. After an age and gender adjustment, the highest prevalences were seen in overseas departments: the Reunion Island (7.8%), Guadeloupe (7.3%) and Martinique (6.8%). In mainland France, the highest prevalences were found in the north-east and in Seine-Saint-Denis (5.1%). Highest prevalence increases were observed in departments where initial prevalence was high. Discussion-Conclusion – The diabetes epidemic continues to progress inexorably beyond the recent forecasts from experts. The high prevalence in individuals aged over 60 years and the increasing number of geographic disparities have to be taken into account in public health policies. Introduction – L’objectif de cette étude est d’actualiser les données de prévalence du diabète traité en 2007 en France et de mesurer les disparités géographiques en observant les tendances évolutives récentes. Matériel-Méthodes – Étude réalisée à partir de l’analyse des données de remboursement de 56,5 millions de personnes du régime général. Les personnes diabétiques traitées sont définies par la délivrance d’antidiabétiques à au moins trois dates différentes au cours de l’année 2007. Résultats – En 2007, le taux de prévalence du diabète traité était de 3,95 %, correspondant à 2,5 millions de personnes. L’analyse des taux de prévalence par classe d’âge montrait des différences importantes : 0-44 ans (0,4 %), 45-64 ans (5,8 %), 65-74 ans (13,3 %) et 75 ans et plus (13,4 %). Il existe un sur-risque masculin à partir de 40 ans. Après standardisation sur l’âge et le sexe, les prévalences les plus fortes étaient constatées dans les régions d’outre-mer : La Réunion (7,8 %), Guadeloupe (7,3 %) et Martinique (6,8 %). En métropole, le quart nord-est et la Seine-Saint-Denis (5,1 %) étaient des zones de plus fortes prévalences. À l’échelle départementale, l’augmentation du taux de prévalence était d’autant plus élevée que le niveau de prévalence initial était fort. Discussion-Conclusion – L’épidémie de diabète continue inexorablement de progresser, dépassant les prévisions récentes des experts. La mise en lumière du taux élevé de prévalence après 60 ans et de l’accroissement de disparités géographiques doit être intégrée dans les politiques de santé publique.
Regulation and Paediatric Drug Trials: Patents, Plans, and Perverse Incentives

The facilitation of tight regulatory frameworks necessary to ensure that new drugs are safe and effective have yet to be effectively applied within the paediatric population. Utilization of unlicensed and off-label drugs in children results in a variety of problems ranging from inefficacy, adverse reactions and in some cases death. This ethically questionable behaviour has led the European government to legally force pharmaceutical companies to propose paediatric applications and carry out clinical studies at early stages of drug development. The new European Paediatric Regulation implemented in 2007 opens a new era of paediatric drug development and will offer the opportunity to vastly improve children's health. However, this brighter outlook for the paediatric community might encourage potentially unethical behaviour in a pharmaceutical industry that finds itself in economically unstable times. The article records the gradual evolution of the US Paediatric Exclusivity Plan and the underlying principle of the newly introduced European Paediatric Regulation. It discusses some of the potential drawbacks and detrimental consequences of implementing the new European regulation, and the prospects of avoiding these by critically evaluating the difficulties experienced by the US.
Exploring creativity and innovation in broadcasting

We consider the emergence of design innovations in process, emerging around the form of polyarchy. This is done by using a case study of innovation conducted by a production organization’s project that was embedded in and hosted by a bureaucratic public institution, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). The research reported here was part of a larger project comparing the BBC and ABC’s use of different modes of organization. It focused mainly on the organization designed to deliver a six-part television series, The Code. The innovative process of Scribe, the organization in question, in producing the story is a good example of idea work being instituted in a polyarchic design process. Scribe represents a new organizational design characterized by a polyarchic structure, which is soft and decentralized, with strict and relatively insuperable social and symbolic boundaries. This results in a project-based organization to coordinate collective innovation that is curated by making the writer also the creative director or showrunner. The research contributes further to exploring organizational idea work, through prioritizing creativity and innovation by an explicit positioning of a product and collaborative generative idea work.
The Meanings of Suicide: A Narrative Approach to Healing

There are many things that we take for granted about our world, perhaps most importantly our relationships with those to whom we are closest. Our assumptions about the world include its safety and predictability, and the continued availability of our loved ones. A sudden death, such as suicide, may violate much of what we believe to be true about our lives. Perhaps more than any other death, a suicide leaves those left behind searching for an answer to the question “Why? ” The quest to make sense of that which makes no sense often becomes a central healing task for suicide survivors (see Chapter 9). As Chapter 1 noted, one of the characteristics that all unexpected deaths seem to share is this “shock effect” on the assumptive world of the mourner (Currier, Holland, Coleman, & Neimeyer, 2008; Currier, Holland, & Neimeyer, 2006). Suicide appears to be particularly potent in its ability to shatter the most fundamental of assumptions in life. For a period of time, many survivors are truly unable to make sense of why the suicide has happened, what role they played in the death, and its implications for their 11
Prevention of bone loss with alendronate in postmenopausal women under 60 years of age.

Background Estrogen-replacement therapy prevents osteoporosis in postmenopausal women by inhibiting bone resorption, but the balance between its long-term risks and benefits remains unclear. Whether other antiresorptive therapies can prevent osteoporosis in these women is also not clear. Methods We studied the effect of 2.5 mg or 5 mg of alendronate per day or placebo on bone mineral density in 1174 postmenopausal women under 60 years of age. An additional 435 women who were prepared to receive a combination of estrogen and progestin were randomly assigned to one of the above treatments or open-label estrogen–progestin. The main outcome measure was the change in bone mineral density of the lumbar spine, hip, distal forearm, and total body measured annually for two years by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. Results The women who received placebo lost bone mineral density at all measured sites, whereas the women treated with 5 mg of alendronate daily had a mean (±SE) increase in bone mineral density of 3.5±.
Impactful Social Media on Family Living with Mentally Disordered Members in Rural Areas

Objective: This study explores the impact of social media on family who live with mentally disordered members in rural areas of Ponorogo, East Java Province. Various efforts have been made to determine whether or not social media can help families in rural areas deal with serious stress because of living with their mentally disordered members. Method: This study involves 160 members with mental disorder and their family. Stress is measured based on Lazarus and Folkman theory. Data are analyzed using the Sperman test with SPSS software. Results: Using Beck criteria, it was found that 60% (N = 160) of families feel stressed. Interestingly, there was a significance difference of stress experienced by the social media users and non-social media users (p value= 0.002). There are 31.3% of social media users who are less stressed while 68.7% non-social media users felt more stressed. Conclusion: This study verifies the stress experienced by familes who live with mentally disordered members. It can be concluded that the families who use social media are less stressed even though they live with mentally disordered members. It means social media can prevent stress. In addition, it is recommended that counseling and psychological training should be designed by considering participants’ gender and level of education.
PROMOTING ENTREPRENUERSHIP IN BUSINESS EDUCATION PROGRAMME IN UNIVERSITIES IN SOUTH EAST NIGERIA

This study was carried out in the south East States of Nigeria to determine the strategies for promoting entrepreneurship in business education for economic empowerment and employment generation of business education students in universities. The study adopted a survey research design. The study covered the five universities offering business education programme and the population comprised 41 respondents from the five universities. The study used the entire population. No sample was drawn. A structured questionnaire was used as the instrument for data collection. The instrument was validated by three experts from the Faculty of Education, Enugu State University of Science and Technology. Mean and standard deviation were employed in answering the two research questions that guided the study while Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to test the null hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. The result of the findings revealed that entrepreneurial skills are highly needed for promotion entrepreneurship in business education programme and one of the institution related strategies for promoting entrepreneurship is by recruiting business educators with entrepreneurial culture. It was recommended that entrepreneurial skills should be highlighted in business education programme with heavy dose of practical and little theory and also, institutions should recruit professional business educators with entrepreneurial culture. Key words: Entrepreneurship, Business education, economic empowerment and employment generation.
Blurred lines: How to approach sexual harassment training when sexual harassment isn’t always about sex

We completely agree that the issue raised in the focal article by Medeiros and Griffith (2019) is extremely important and timely, and we commend the authors for spearheading this discussion. Although we agree with the spirit of this focal article, we wish to provide an important clarification to the perspective offered by the authors. Medeiros and Griffith focus their discussion on sexual harassment that is limited to sexual behaviors enacted toward victims (e.g., sexual advances or sexual assault). Specifically, they drew heavily on the literature on college campus sexual assault, mentioned that sexual harassment and sexual assault exist on a continuum and are characterized by an “escalating nature,” and referenced numerous explicit sexual behaviors in their examples (e.g., sexual advances, sexual assault). Their discussion of training interventions was also focused completely on preventing sexually motivated infractions. Although workplace sexual harassment may involve sexualized comments or behavior, contemporary frameworks conceptualize sexual harassment as being not about sex but about maintaining power and social status on the part of the harasser (Berdahl & Raver, 2011). In the following sections, we discuss this perspective in detail, highlighting three key implications of including a broader “sexual-harassment-as-sexism” definition and discussing how this perspective may change some of the recommendations in the focal article.
Differences between Perceived Readiness for Interprofessional Learning in Nursing and Other Health-related Students

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the level of perceived readiness for interprofessional learning and its differences between nursing and other health-related students. Methods: A web-based survey was conducted from April 25 to June 30, 2017 in one university in Korea. A total of 325 undergraduate nursing students and other health-related disciplines completed the structured questionnaire consisting of Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale and general characteristics. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and multiple linear regression. Results: The scores of readiness for interprofessional learning in nursing students were significantly higher than those in other health-related students (t=3.50, p=.001). Nursing students had higher collaboration, professional identity, and roles and responsibilities than other health-related students. The class experiences with other major students was a significant factor related to the readiness for interprofessional learning both in nursing (p=.001) and other health-related students (p=.001). Conclusion: The findings suggest that nursing educators consider the different level of readiness for interprofessional learning between nursing and other health-related students while integrating interprofessional education into nursing education curricula.
A Socio-Technical Perspective on reproducibility in Research Data Management

The Open Science paradigm has brought the dissemination of experimental artifacts on the agenda of funding agencies, research institutions, and academic publishers. Managing research data is a crucial part of guaranteeing the reusability and reproducibility of published results. In this research, we suggest a conceptualization of reproducibility based on threats, risks, and vulnerabilities identified in current research data management (RDM) practices. By doing so, we can describe a range of threats to reproducibility and pinpoint areas where current RDM practices and the scholarly communication infrastructure insufficiently address these threats. Further, we elaborate on a socio-technical approach to reproducibility in RDM by collecting evidence from researchers and scientific publications. We show that the STS approach complements current IS research on RDM by offering a holistic view of reproducibility challenges in RDM.
