Reliability and validity of the multiple mini interview (MMI) for admissions to an occupational therapy professional program

Introduction Admissions decisions are among the most consequential assessment points in educating occupational therapists. Suboptimal measures of academic achievement and personal characteristics are often used to select candidates. The purpose of the study is to investigate reliability and validity evidence supporting the use of the multiple mini interview for selecting candidates to an occupational therapy master’s level program. Method The study used a prospective cohort design. Data sources included both archival data and prospective candidate-generated data (multiple mini interview scores, applicant file review scores and academic performance), analyzed using psychometric and correlational approaches. Results Seventy-seven of 80 candidates participated in the prospective component of the study. Overall reliability of a 10-station multiple mini interview was . 72. Inter-rater reliability was reasonable. Weak interrelationships were found between multiple mini interview scores and other application components. Conclusion Multiple mini interview scores may be probing different attributes than the other components of the application package. Our study findings support the use of the multiple mini interview for selecting applicants to a professional master’s program in occupational therapy; however, future work should continue to investigate the predictive validity of the multiple mini interview.
Determinants of Tax Non- Compliance Behavior in Ethiopia: The Case of Hosanna Town Taxpayers

In the Ethiopian government the second five year Growth and Transformation Plan, it has been clearly stated that efforts will be geared towards promoting compliance and equipping tax collection institutions with adequate enforcement power which will further boost revenue mobilization at federal, regional, Zonal and woreds levels. The country’s tax mobilization was also the lowest among sub-Saharan African countries and thus, objectives if the study the identifying the factors that determine tax non- compliance behavior has been open for empirical investigation. There are seven determinates included in this study, to be researched upon and are categorized into non-economic factors and economic factors. Authors used a cross-sectional survey method of research design. The target population of the study was category “C” tax payers in purposefully selected three category taxpayers of Hosanna town, Ethiopia ,this group are considered hard to tax because the law doesn’t require them to declare their income or keep books of account. A sample of 247 Category “C” tax payers was randomly taken from the selected cities. The number of questionnaires completed and returned was two hundred and twenty-eight (247), constituting 76% response rate. Both primary and secondary data were collected. Seven explanatory variables were used in the ordered logistic regression model. The p-value was used to test the significant at 5 % significance level of the study variables. The results showed that rate of tax, future tax costs, tax education/tax knowledge and Gross of sales are factors that positively significantly affect tax non- compliance behavior. However, Individual Tax Morale, report of income tax, and public quality governance were not significantly at 5 % significance level affect non-tax compliance. Therefore, researcher recommended, the outcomes of the study may inform policymakers about the determinants of non-tax compliance behavior of tax payers in the Hosanna town and helps to formulate better policy decisions related to non- tax compliance behavior.

Phenological diversity in a World Olive Germplasm Bank: Potential use for breeding programs and climate change studies

Aim of study: Crop phenology is a critical component in the identification of impacts of climate change. Then, the assessment of germplasm collections provides relevant information for cultivar selection and breeding related to phenology, being the base for identifying adaptation strategies to climate change.Area of study: The World Olive Germplasm Bank located at IFAPA Centre “Alameda del Obispo” (WOGB-IFAPA) in Cordoba (Southern Spain) was considered for the study.Material and methods: Data gathered for nine years on flowering and ripening time of olive cultivars from WOGB-IFAPA were evaluated. Thus, full flowering date (FFD) for 148 cultivars and ripening date (RD) for 86 cultivars, coming from 14 olive growing countries, were considered for characterization of olive phenology and for calibration/validation of phenological models.Main results: The characterization of WOGB-IFAPA has allowed the identification of cultivars with extreme early (‘Borriolenca’) and late (‘Ulliri i Kuq’) flowering as well as the ones with extreme early (‘Mavreya’) and late (‘Gerboui’) ripening dates. However, the very limited inter-cultivar variability, especially for FFD, resulted in a non-optimal simulation models performance. Thus, for FFD and RD the root mean square error was around 6 and 24 days, respectively. The limited inter-cultivar variability was associated to the low average temperatures registered during winter at WOGB-IFAPA generating an early accumulation of the chilling requirements, thus homogenizing FFD of all the analyzed cultivars.Research highlights: The identification of cultivars with early FFD and late RD provides useful information for breeding programs and climate change studies for identifying adaptation strategies.
Urban Multi-Source Spatio-Temporal Data Analysis Aware Knowledge Graph Embedding

Multi-source spatio-temporal data analysis is an important task in the development of smart cities. However, traditional data analysis methods cannot adapt to the growth rate of massive multi-source spatio-temporal data and explain the practical significance of results. To explore the network structure and semantic relationships, we propose a general framework for multi-source spatio-temporal data analysis via knowledge graph embedding. The framework extracts low-dimensional feature representation from multi-source spatio-temporal data in a high-dimensional space, and recognizes the network structure and semantic relationships about multi-source spatio-temporal data. Experiment results show that the framework can not only effectively utilize multi-source spatio-temporal data, but also explore the network structure and semantic relationship. Taking real Shanghai datasets as an example, we confirm the validity of the multi-source spatio-temporal data analytical framework based on knowledge graph embedding.
Minority Stress Theory and Internalized Homophobia among LGB Sexual Assault Survivors: Implications for Posttraumatic Adjustment

Abstract Prevalence estimates of sexual violence within the queer community indicate equivalent or significantly higher rates of victimization when compared to the heterosexual community. Despite the high prevalence of sexual violence among lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals, there currently exists a relative dearth of the literature focusing on sexual assault disclosure from a sexual minority perspective and thus a lack of identification of possible unique barriers to disclosing among those identifying as LGB. According to Minority Stress Theory (MST), stigmatized individuals, such as those identifying as a sexual minority, experience chronic stress in the form of prejudice and discrimination that is thought to lead to a greater risk for poor mental and physical health sequelae. This paper aims to summarize and critique the literature concerning sexual assault disclosures and the previous applications of MST within psychological research. Results from this review suggest that LGB individuals face unique barriers to disclosure that can be explained through the framework of MST. Based on this information, recommendations for future research and clinical applications are presented and discussed.
Research on sharing economy: why are some articles more cited than others?

Abstract The present article seeks to identify the reasons why some articles are more cited than others, with a specific focus on the recent and innovative research area of the sharing economy. To determine how characteristics of the research drive citations, we carry out a systematic analysis of articles published from 2012 to 2018 in high-impact social science journals. Comparative analyses were conducted to visualise what features relate to higher citations. The results show that citations vary depending on the approach, field, unit of analysis, and the data analyses used in the research. Our contributions will be useful both for authors when deciding the type of analysis to undertake and the journal to which to send their papers, as well as for editors setting editorial policy.
Quality of life of healthy subjects and patients with arthritis and diabetes mellitus in Bayelsa State, Niger Delta region

Purpose: There is paucity of information about quality of life (QOL) studies among patients with arthritis and diabetes mellitus in developing countries. The objective of this study was to evaluate quality of life of patients with arthritis (AR) and diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods: A total of 507 subjects comprising 364 healthy adult volunteers and 143 hospitals patients with arthritis and diabetes mellitus were enrolled into the study. Data were collected using Ferrans and Powers QOL index (QLI). The generic version and disease specific versions were administered to healthy subjects and hospital patients respectively and the data analyzed. Results: The highest mean overall QOL scores of the healthy subjects (364; 71.79%) which ranged from 24.43(SD=4.08) to 26.62 (SD=2.15) (95% CI 24.94-27.27) is the second most desirable category of QOL rating relative to the reference standard score of zero to 30 for the worst and best case scenarios respectively. This was distantly followed by patients with diabetes mellitus alone (slightly satisfied) with mean OQOL score of 18.92 (SD=2.59; 95% CI 16.03-19.24). Subjects with AR had lower OQOL than diabetic subjects with mean OQOL scores of 15.98 (SD=2.75; 95% CI 13.15-16.77). The least mean OQOL score (moderately dissatisfied) was recorded for patients with AR co-existing with other chronic illnesses with a mean OQOL scores of 8.92 (SD=3.97; 95%CI 7.36 - 13.4). There was statistically significant difference between the OQOL of healthy subjects and patients with arthritis and diabetes mellitus ( p <0.0001). A strong association also exists between OQOL and age, marital status, employment and gender ( p <0.05). Conclusions: Arthritis and diabetes mellitus severely impaired patient QOL. Arthritis has more pronounced effects on QOL either alone or as co-morbid chronic illness. Concerted efforts at stemming the prevalence of these conditions, supportive roles for the elderly and married women as well as cost effective management of these conditions among others must be put in place.

Prevalence of Pediculosis and Associated Risk Factors among
Elementary School Females in Mashhad, Iran, during 2017-
2018

Article Notes: Received: Oct 26, 2019 Received in revised form: Jan 05, 2020 Accepted: Jan 05, 2020 Available Online: Jan 27, 2020 Background & Aims of the Study: Pediculosis is a parasitic disease and one of the main factors affecting the health level of the society. The present study aimed to determine the risk factors associated with the prevalence of pediculosis in elementary school females in Mashhad, Iran, from 2017 to 2018. Materials and Methods: This descriptive and analytical study included 3062 elementary school female students who were selected by a multistage systematic random sampling in Mashhad, Iran. Experienced health experts examined the students for the presence of nits or live lice. Demographic information form was employed to collect data on gender, place of residence, and others. The data were analyzed in SPSS software (version 18.0) through a Chi-square analysis. A P-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Out of 3062 elementary school females, 417 cases were infected with pediculosis and the average infection rate of 13.6%. The results showed that head lice infestation was significantly correlated with factors, such as age, school grade, sleeping in a common room, using shared personal instruments, personal health care, parents' educational level, and hair shape (P<0.05). On the other hand, head lice infestation was not significantly correlated with health expert presence at schools, family size, and fathers' occupational status (P>0.05). Conclusion: The enhancement of standards for personal health and raising the awareness of teachers and parents about the prevention methods and risk factors associated with pediculosis can significantly reduce the prevalence of this infection among female school children in the regions under study.
Dynamic analysis of the elasto-plastic behaviour of buildings and structures in the SCAD ++ software package

The problem formulation of nonlinear equations of motion obtained by the finite element method applying to the dynamic analysis of buildings and structures is presented. The elasto-plastic behaviour of reinforced concrete structural elements is described using the plastic flow theory, moreover, for concrete, the Drucker-Prager yield criterion is used for bending elements, and the yield surface, which coincides in shape with the Geniev strength surface, for compressed-bending elements. Concrete degradation due to crack opening is simulated by the descending branch of the σ − ε diagram. The plastic flow theory with von Mises yield criterion describes the behaviour of reinforcement. Using the aforementioned constitutive models, a finite element library was developed, including plane shell quadrilateral and triangular finite elements based on the Mindlin-Reissner shear theory as well as a two-node spatial frame finite element based on the Timoshenko shear theory. The seismic analysis of the 3-D model of multi-storey building is considered as an example.
The Views of Prospective Classroom Teachers on Cultural Heritage-themed Museum Education Course

ABSTRACT Culture as a complex unity comprised of knowledge, beliefs, art, ethics and customs collectively relates to the acquired skills by individuals as the members of one larger community. By virtue of this feature, museums have been specialized as informal educational settings aiding the teaching of tangible and intangible heritage. Museum education serves a long list of purposes ranging from familiarizing with one’s own culture and recognizing other cultures through a multidimensional and tolerant perspective and better internalizing intercultural similarities and differences in addition to effectively bolstering the awareness on preserving cultural assets. This research was carried out to demonstrate the views of prospective classroom teachers, having studied “cultural heritage” -themed Museum Education Course, in Ankara University Department of Classroom Teaching, on the implementation of museums in cultural heritage education; and to monitor skills of concerned participants in utilizing museums for educational purposes during their in-service teaching experiences.
Phase IB/II study of nivolumab with azacytidine (AZA) in patients (pts) with relapsed AML.

PD-1 positive CD8 T-cells are increased in bone marrow (BM) of pts with AML (Daver et al, ASH 2016). AZA up-regulates PD-1 in AML (Yang et al., Leukemia 2013). Methods: Pts were eligible if they had AML and failed prior therapy, had adequate performance status (ECOG ≤ 2), and organ function. AZA 75mg/m2Days 1-7 with nivolumab 3mg/kg on Day 1 and 14 was established as the recommended phase II dose. Courses were repeated every 4-5 weeks indefinitely. Responses were evaluated at the end of 3 courses. Results: 53 pts with med age 68 years (range, 44 – 90), secondary AML (43%), poor risk cytogenetics (43%), med prior regimens 2 (range, 1-7) have been enrolled. Common mutations included DNMT3A (n = 11), TP53 (n = 11), TET2 (N = 8), CEBPA (n = 8), ASXL1(n = 8). All 53 pts are evaluable for response: 11 (21%) achieved CR/CRi and 7 (14%) had hematologic improvement (HI) for an overall response rat.
The Ty1 integrase nuclear localization signal is necessary and sufficient for retrotransposon targeting to tRNA genes

Integration of transposable elements into the genome is mutagenic. Mechanisms that target integration into relatively safe locations and minimize deleterious consequences for cell fitness have emerged during evolution. In budding yeast, the integration of the Ty1 LTR retrotransposon upstream of RNA polymerase III (Pol III)-transcribed genes requires the interaction between the AC40 subunit of Pol III and Ty1 integrase (IN1). Here we show that the IN1-AC40 interaction involves a short linker sequence in the bipartite nuclear localization signal (bNLS) of IN1. Mutations in this sequence do not impact the frequency of Ty1 retromobility, instead they decrease the recruitment of IN1 to Pol III-transcribed genes and the subsequent integration of Ty1 at these loci. The replacement of Ty5 retrotransposon targeting sequence by the IN1 bNLS induces Ty5 integration into Pol III-transcribed genes. Therefore, the IN1 bNLS is both necessary and sufficient to confer integration site specificity on Ty1 and Ty5 retrotransposons.

A study to assess the knowledge and attitude of parents of children with epilepsy

Objective: The objective was to evaluate the knowledge and attitude of parents of children with epilepsy toward the disease. Methods: In this cross-sectional, descriptive study, parents of 60 children with epilepsy from pediatric neurology clinic of All India Institute of Medical Sciences were enrolled. Data on epilepsy were collected using pre-tested and validated self-developed knowledge, belief, and attitude questionnaire (α=0.85, 0.89). Results: The mean knowledge and attitude scores of parents of the children with epilepsy were 9.82±3.9 (2-22) and 31.25±9.27 (0-40), respectively. Parents of the children with epilepsy had poor 50 (83.3%, scores <60%) to fair knowledge scores (60-70%). Majority of the parents 33 (55%) had excellent attitude (≥80%), while 11 (18.3%), 6 (10%), and 10 (16.7%) parents had good, fair, and poor attitude, respectively. Correlation between knowledge and attitude was found to be very weak and negative (r=−0. 039, p=0.77) with few misconception related to disease and clear idea about the activities to be performed with/without caution. Conclusion: There is a need for developing informational booklet and conducting educational sessions on epilepsy for the parents in particular and public in general.

Numerical study on arc-droplet coupled behavior in magnetic field controlled GMAW process

The metal transfer behavior is one of the most pivotal links of gas metal arc welding (GMAW) for improving the welding quality. Arc impacts the current path and heat input on the droplet surface, in reverse, the metal droplet detachment makes the arc to flicker. It is hard to make the metal transfer process clear with only experimental methods since the limited measuring space and high temperature in the welding region. In this work, with the help of computational fluid dynamics software ANSYS FLUENT, a magnetohydrodynamic model including argon arc plasma and steel wire and the droplet is constructed by using two independent governing equations of gas and metal phase for the mass, momentum, and energy balance. Comparing the magnetic field controlled GMAW with conventional GMAW, the temperature field, current density distribution, electric potential field, static pressure field and also metal vapor mass fraction distribution are highlighted. It is shown that the metal transfer frequency decreases and droplet diameter increases with 180 A welding current when applying an external constant axial magnetic field 0.002 T. So, the arc length decreases before the detaching moment, the current density expands in the arc region and the voltage decreases. The centrifugal movement impedes the downward flow and transfers heat from the droplet center to the outside region.
Secure Metering Data Aggregation With Batch Verification in Industrial Smart Grid

Smart grid can greatly improve the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of the traditional grids. In industrial smart grid, real-time user-side metering data may be frequently collected for monitoring and controlling electricity consumption. However, the procedure of frequently metering data collection may lead to sensitive information leakage. To address the security issues in industrial smart grid, in this article, we construct an efficient identity-based metering data aggregation scheme supporting batch verification by collector and electricity service provider, respectively, which guarantees the privacy and integrity of metering data. In our scheme, collectors are allowed to collect and aggregate the metering data of users in their respective administrative domain without compromising the confidentiality of metering data. Security analysis demonstrates that our proposed scheme is provably secure in the random oracle and satisfies the above security requirements. Performance analysis indicates that our scheme outperforms existing solutions in terms of communication and computation costs.
CD4+ T cells persist for years in the human small intestine and mediate robust TH1 immunity

Studies in mice and humans have shown that CD8+ T cell immunosurveillance in non-lymphoid tissues is dominated by resident populations. Whether CD4+ T cells use the same strategies to survey peripheral tissues is less clear. Here, examining the turnover of CD4+ T cells in transplanted duodenum in humans, we demonstrate that the majority of CD4+ T cells were still donor-derived one year after transplantation. In contrast to memory CD4+ T cells in peripheral blood, intestinal CD4+ TRM cells expressed CD69 and CD161, but only a minor fraction expressed CD103. Functionally, intestinal CD4+ TRM cells were very potent cytokine producers; the vast majority being polyfunctional TH1 cells, whereas a minor fraction produced IL-17. Interestingly, a fraction of intestinal CD4+ T cells produced granzyme-B and perforin after activation. Together, we show that the intestinal CD4+ T-cell compartment is dominated by resident populations that survive for more than 1 year. This finding is of high relevance for the development of oral vaccines and therapies for diseases in the gut.
