Effects of Schema Therapy on Anxiety, Cognitive Avoidance, and Resilience in Couples With Conflicts

Background: Resilience, as a variable affecting couples’ relationships and resolving conflicts between them, plays an essential role in family psychology and family therapy. Materials & Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test, post-test, a control group, and a 45-day follow-up design. The statistical population included all couples with low marital adjustment who were referred to the psychological counseling centers of Ahvaz City, Iran, in 2020. Thirty participants were selected using the convenience sampling method and randomly divided into the experimental and control groups (n=15 couples/group). The necessary data were collected using the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R), the Cognitive Avoidance Questionnaire (CAQ), and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). The schema therapy program was performed for the experimental group in eight 90-minute weekly sessions; however, the control group received no intervention. The follow-up phase was performed after 45 days. Repeated-Measures Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used in SPSS to analyze the obtained data. Results: Schema therapy effectively decreased anxiety and cognitive avoidance and increased resilience among couples in the experimental group (P<0.001). The Mean±SD post-test score of resilience was measured as 50.87±4.64 in the experimental group, which increased, compared to the post-test scores (43.33±5.71) in the control group. Conclusion: Schema therapy decreased anxiety, cognitive avoidance, and significantly increased resilience in the examined couples. Schema therapy can be used to improve resilience in couples presenting marital conflicts.
" ENZYME ON PERFORMANCE OF JAPANESE QUAIL FED OPTIMAL AND SUB-OPTIMAL ENERGY LEVELS

An on-farm experiment was conducted using 240 one-day old Japanese quail chicks which, individually wing-banded, weighed and randomly distributed into four experimental groups of similar mean body weight of three replicates each and aimed to study the possibility of improving the ME of SBM-based diets fed to Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) by dietary addition of a commercial enzyme preparation “Avizym 1500 ” at a level of 0.1% (1 kg/ton) diet and its effect on growth performance, some carcass traits, intestinal viscosity and incidence of pasting vents, volatile fatty acid concentration in cecum, and laying performance. Two experimental starter-grower corn-soybean meal diets (C-SBM) were formulated to be iso-nitrogenous (24% CP) and containing two ME levels (2900 and 2750 kcal ME/kg diet). Also, two experimental C-SBM layer basal diets were formulated to be isonitrogenous (20% CP) and containing two ME levels (2900 and 2750 kcal ME/kg diet). Four dietary treatments in both starting-growing and laying periods were compared; two treatments consisted of the two basal diets without “Avizym 1500 ” supplementation and two treatments consisted of the two basal diets supplemented with “Avizym 1500 ” at a level of 0.1% (1 kg/ton). Live growth performance, carcass characteristics, intestinal viscosity and incidence of pasting vents, volatile fatty acid concentration in cecum and laying performance were determined. Generally, supplementing Avizym 1500 to RE-diet gave equal performance to the corresponding Avizym 1500 –free diet (Control). But, supplementing Avizym 1500 to LE-diet significantly improved performance index (PI) and growth rat (GR), egg production (EP%), egg number (EN), egg weight (EW), egg mass (EM), feed conversion ratio (FCR), carcass parameters %, liver, heart and edible giblets %. However, it significantly decreased mortality rate (MR%), abdominal fat %, the viscosity in different parts of intestine, pasting vents % and Feed intake (FI). Nutritionally, it could be concluded that supplementing “Avizym 1500 ” in both starter-grower and layer diets at a level of 0.1% (1 kg/ton) helped in improving quail performance, carcass traits and egg production traits.

The comparison of serum biomarkers in patients with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis

Introduction: This study aims to assess the status of serum vitamin D, parathyroid hormone, type II collagen, calcium, phosphate, albumin, and alkaline phosphatase in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis patients and to study their association with rheumatoid arthritis disease activity. Materials and Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study was conducted at the clinical analysis department, College of Pharmacy, Hawler Medical University in 2017. They study samples were collected at Rizgary Teaching Hospital during the period September 2015 to January 2016. A total of (N=156) participants were included: (N=53) patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), (N=53) with osteoarthritis (OA), and (N=50) healthy controls. Enzyme Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay kits determined serum vitamin D, parathyroid hormone, and type II collagen; and serum albumin, calcium, phosphate and alkaline phosphatase, were determined by standard colorimetric methods. Results and Discussion: Statistically significant higher levels of parathyroid hormone and type II collagen, with lower levels of Vitamin D, were found in the osteoarthritis group than the rheumatoid arthritis group and the healthy controls (P=0.007, P<0.001, P= 0.005) respectively. Multiple linear regression showed a statistically significant difference in serum type II collagen as a dependent variable, in patients suffering from RA or OA compared to the healthy control group; after adjusting for the effect of other independent study variables, there was a mean increase of (45.90 nmol/L, P<0.001) in RA patients, and OA patients showed greater levels of type II collagen (73.950 nmol/L) than the health control group (P<0.001). Conclusions: Elevated type II collagen levels, in conjunction with a low vitamin D status, may be strong discriminator between osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis patients.

Assessment of Soil Erosion Rates Using Revised
Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE)
and GIS in Bačka (Serbia)

Soil erosion assessment enables the identification of manifested soil erosion categories, their spatial distribution and the relationship between soil erosion and land use patterns. The integrated approach of the RUSLE method and GIS tools was used in estimating soil erosion rates in Bačka (Serbia). Previous research of soil erosion intensity in the study area was last performed 50 years ago. The spatial distribution of the calculated erosive factors shows the diversity of erosive conditions. The results indicate that the average annual soil loss is from 0 to 28.6 t ha–1 yr–1. The soil erosion is particularly pronounced in the area of the Titel loess plateau (up to 28.6 t ha–1 yr–1). The results indicate the diversity of the erosion rates depending on the land use. Multiple correlation indicates that the LS factor has the largest effect on erosion (correlation coefficient 1). The results in this paper can be used in planning future conservation measures, especially if the recent field measurements of soil erosion are added. This research is also important since the RUSLE method represents a new approach in determining the soil
Let's Move It Move It: Thais’ Attitude Toward English as a Lingua Franca

Recently, a Facebook group under the name "โยกย้าย มาส่ายสะโพกโยกย้าย" (Let's move it move it) brought together Thais around the globe who share a similar goal of moving abroad. One of the most popular discussions was their concern over their English language skills and the “move-in” country of preference. Since this virtual community is an interesting context to explore, a survey questionnaire was distributed online to know their attitudes toward English as a lingua franca (ELF). To know if Thais' attitude on EFL differs based on their "move-in" country of preference, the participants were categorized based on Kachruvian three concentric circles – Inner, Outer, and Expanding as well as Any circle – a combination of two or more circle. Findings show the strongly favorable attitudes of Thais toward the following aspects - the focus on intelligibility, the use of English to communicate with both native and non-native speakers of English, learning materials for a multicultural environment, and exposure to varieties of English. Despite the favorable attitude, the Expanding circle and Any circle groups strongly agreed that Standard British or American English should be taught. All circles disagreed that "any linguistic use that does not conform to Standard English is incorrect. " Discussions of results were provided in the study.

A Coach’s Perception: Major Factors influencing Late Goal-Scoring-Patterns in Maltese Football

Beyond its basic simplicity, football, is a very complex game. There is no one particular way of playing or method of training that can bring about results. The aim of football is to score more or concede fewer goals than the opponent. With goals being the crucial element, statistics prove that a high percentage are scored late in the game. This study set out to identify and demonstrate that the number of goals scored in the last fifteen minutes of a ninety-minute football game in top football competitions are higher than in any other fifteen-minute segment in the game. The study also investigates the correlation between the highest percentage of late goals and success which is measured as the final placement in the league table. It also attests that the same goal-scoring patterns are relevant to the Maltese Premier Division, which is considered to be at a lower level of play compared to other top leagues. Consequently, the study identifies the main factors which typically influence such goal-scoring patterns as perceived by local coaches. These factors are physiology, technical-tactical elements, and the team’s psychological attitude towards the game, players’ experience, club finances, and unfavourable circumstances which lead to an uneven level of play. Lastly, the paper identifies the different perceptions of these factors based on coaches’ qualifications and coaching experience at senior level. This paper could assist coaches in planning and preparing training sessions, with the hope of maximizing their training efficiency and effectiveness. It can also assist coaching course-developers and coordinators to enhance the level of the courses by altering content, assessment criteria, and topics.
A Comparative Study on the Effects of Use Hemp Seed Oil Substitute to Soybean Oil in Growing Quail Diets

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of hemp seed oil replaced soybean oil as an energy supply on growth performance parameters, carcass yield, liver weight, breast meat pH, and meat color values in quails. A total of 100 one-day old quail chicks were reared in two treatment groups for 5 weeks. The experimental diets were formulated as to contain 4.4% crude soybean(control) and hemp seed oils. According to the results of the present study, crude hemp seed oil replaced soybean oil in the diet was effective on finishing body weight, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, weight gain and carcass yield. All of these parameters were lower than the soybean oil (control) group. Liver weight, and breast meat color values (L*, a*, and b*) have shown similarities between experimental groups. The breast meat pH value decreased significantly in the hemp seed oil treatment group compared to soybean oil group. Using hemp seed oil instead of soybean oil used in quail diets negatively affects performance parameters (except for feed conversion ratio).
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE STOCK MARKET DEVELOPMENT, BANKING SECTOR DEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN THE CEE COUNTRIES

The stock markets of most CEE countries have been actively developing and improving over the past decades but they still do not belong to the developed markets according to MSCI classification, the financial systems of these countries tends towards the bank-oriented type. Does the level of stock market development affect economic growth in CEE countries and do these countries need to develop their stock markets accordingly? The purpose of this article is to identify the direction of the causal link between stock market development, banking sector development and economic growth in Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries. The subject of the research is the relationship between the stock market development, banking sector development and economic growth in the CEE countries. Methodology. The research is based on the annual data for two time periods 1999-2012 and 1999-2015 for the 8 and 5 CEE countries, respectively. The study is based on the Granger causality test and linear regression models. According to results of the research the stock market development plays an important role in attracting foreign direct investment and economic growth in CEE countries in the long-run period. There are revealed the channels of indirect influence of the stock market capitalization on the economic growth. Stock market capitalization has impact on the banking sector and gross capital formation, which in turn have impact on the economic growth of CEE countries. There is the impact of both the stock market and the banking sector development on the economic growth in CEE countries during 1999-2015. However, the impact of the stock market size on the economic growth is positive and the impact of domestic credit to private sector is negative. Practical implications. The study proves the reasonable need for the CEE countries to move towards further development of the stock market, improving the market infrastructure and institutional environment in order to expand the size of the stock market and thereby contribute to the economic growth of this countries. Value/originality. The obtained conclusion about the role of the stock market in economic growth and attraction of FDI is of great importance both for Ukraine and other countries with similar trajectory of economic development in general and similar historical aspects of the origin of stock markets in particular and should be taken into account by state leaders when making decisions on the need to create conditions for development of such element of the country’s financial system as the stock market.
Application of Next-Generation Sequencing Technology Based on Single Gene Locus in Species Identification of Mixed Meat Products

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection is a commonly used method for species identification of meat products. However, this method is not suitable for the analysis of meat products containing multiple mixtures. This study aimed to test whether next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology could be used as a method for the certification of mixed meat products. In this study, five kinds of common meat (pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, and ducks) were mixed as samples with different proportions. The primers designed from mitochondrial 16S rRNA and nuclear genome gene (growth hormone receptor, GHR), respectively, were used to detect these meats. The sequencing results of NGS were analyzed using a self-designed bioinformatics program. The fragments with similar sequences were classified and compared with the database to determine their species. The results showed that all five kinds of meat components could be correctly identified using these two primers. The meat composition could be detected as low as 0.5% in the mixed samples using the NGS technology targeting GHR gene fragments, which was superior to those targeting mitochondrial 16S rRNA. However, the quantitative detection of species in the mixture was not likely to be quite accurate due to the amplification bias of PCR amplification. These results showed that the NGS technology could be applied to identify meat species in mixtures.
Performance Assessment of Wastewater Treatment
Plants (WWTPs ) and Application
of Electrocoagulation Process to Improve
Their Operation

The present study aimed to assess the efficiency of two wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) operating with different biological processes and to investigate the electrocoagulation process as alternative to improve their operation. Results revealed the consistent efficiency of urban WWTP that uses activated sludge process, the station operated with removal efficiencies higher than 91% for biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total suspended solids (TSS) and produced high quality effluent whereas the efficiency of WWTP of an industrial complex using trickling filter process was in the monitored period very small and did not meet the minimum acceptable treatment efficiency of discharged wastewater. The treatment assays with electrocoagulation process using aluminium electrodes exhibited high COD removal particularly for plant of industrial site, the optimal operating conditions for the maximum COD removal are found to be the initial pH of 3, current density of 29.79 mA/cm2 , electrolysis time of 5 min and charge loading of 26.11 F/m3. Under these conditions, the removal efficiency of COD is found to be 79% . Consequently, electrocoagulation process can be recommended to improve the performance of WWTPs. Nonetheless, the implementation of EC into industrial or municipal systems should be investigated more.

The complexities associated with healthcare centres have made conflict a part and parcel of their operational milieus. Student nurses on formal clinical training, being part of the system, are not resistant to the deleterious outcomes of such conflicts. Thus, this study assessed conflict dynamics and management strategies of student nurses in government hospitals in Adamawa State, Nigeria. A descriptive survey design was adopted and a sample of 160 student nurses was selected through random sampling technique. A self-structured questionnaire titled “Student Nursing Conflict Questionnaire” (SNCQ) was used to elicit primary data. Data collected were analysed with frequency counts, percentage and standard deviation. The study discovered that the majority of student nurses frequently encountered conflict (50.6%) in hospitals and they often perceived it as something bad (70.6%). Also, the major types of conflict often experienced by student nurses were “nurse-student nurse conflict” (NSC) (36.9%) and “patient relatives-student nurse conflict” (PRSC) (36.9%). The main causes of these conflicts were lateness to the hospital (x ̅= 3.375) and unclear definition of responsibilities between student nurses and other auxiliary health workers (x ̅= 3.338). Furthermore, the main consequences of conflict on student nurses were lowering their productivity (x ̅= 3.550) and discouraging effective training of student nurses (x ̅= 3.569). The conflict management styles often adopted by student nurses were collaborating style (x ̅=3.153) and accommodating style (x ̅=3.025). Based on these findings, it was recommended that medical peace education should be promoted in all ramifications in health establishments in order to help those that wish to become health practitioners such as student nurses as well as those already practicing in the field to understand conflict behavioural dynamics for constructive mitigation to enhance their productivity and healthcare service delivery.

The Impact of Emotional Intelligence on Enhancing Women’s Leadership Competencies

The percentage of women in leadership positions is increasing and advancing towards gender parity. However, the number of female leaders is still low when compared to male leaders. We endeavored to examine by means of a literature review the impact of Emotional Intelligence (EI) on women´s leadership since we found that EI is a key factor in predicting effective leadership traits. We also found there is a social perception that women tend to be seen as more emotional and empathic than men. We review the definitions of leadership and EI and explore the link between EI, leadership and women. Several leadership scholars and psychologists argue that EI is an important foundation for leadership effectiveness. We review the literature about how men and women compare in their EI attributes. When it comes to learning EI, men and women have the same opportunities to acquire a greater EI through reflection and experience. However, we highlight the necessity for increasing the number of women in leadership positions by enhancing and supporting women’s leadership competencies. Moreover, we emphasize the importance of building EI in order to achieve effective leadership.
Fuzzy and Genetic Algorithm-based Decision-making Approach for Collaborative Team Formation: A Study on User Acceptance using UTAUT

Forming an optimal collaborative team is achieved using members characteristics to improve team efficiency. A team’s performance may have a negative effect when a team is formed randomly. Moreover, it is quite impossible to achieve an optimal team manually as the formation can expand into countless possibilities. Hence, this paper presents a decisionmaking framework for collaborative team formation by incorporating Fuzzy Logic and Genetic Algorithm (Fuzzy-GA). The framework has been initiated by combining effective team formation factors such as skills, trust, leadership, and individual performance. Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) is utilised to survey the readiness and technology acceptance of the organisations’ employees in adopting the proposed decision-making approach to form a collaborative team. The UTAUT survey had proven that behavioural intention (BI) had a positive impact on the performance expectancy (PE), effort expectancy (EE), social influence (SI) and facilitating conditions (FC). However, behavioural intention (BI) had a negative impact on the voluntariness of use (VU); thus the transformation of collaborative team formation must be further explored to increase the team’s voluntarism towards this automated collaborative team formation.
