A Longitudinal Study Into Indicators of Mental Health, Strengths and Difficulties Reported by Boarding Students as They Transition From Primary School to Secondary Boarding Schools in Perth, Western Australia

This study examined indicators of mental health, as well as strengths and difficulties, as reported by same-age boarding and non-boarding students spanning four time points over a 2-year period as they transitioned from primary to boarding school in Western Australia (i.e., at the end of Grade 7, beginning of Grade 8, end of Grade 8, and end of Grade 9). It presents data taken from a larger longitudinal quantitative study, which included 76 male and 74 female boarding students while they were in Grades 7 to 9. Findings indicate that boarding students and non-boarding students reported significant increases in depression, anxiety, as well as emotional symptoms and hyperactivity over time, and reported significant decreases in prosocial behaviour. However, examining the boarder × time interaction, boarding students reported significantly higher levels of anxiety and stress at the end of Grade 8 compared to non-boarding students. No significant difference over time was found in depressive symptomatology between boarding and non-boarding students, whereas at the beginning of Grade 8 and end of Grade 9, boarding students reported significantly higher emotional symptoms than non-boarding students. These findings are discussed in terms of the boarding school context and possible considerations for prevention and practice are presented.
Covid-19 in Critically Ill Patients in the Seattle Region — Case Series

Abstract Background Community transmission of coronavirus 2019 (Covid-19) was detected in the state of Washington in February 2020. Methods We identified patients from nine Seattle-area hospitals who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with confirmed infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). Clinical data were obtained through review of medical records. The data reported here are those available through March 23, 2020. Each patient had at least 14 days of follow-up. Results We identified 24 patients with confirmed Covid-19. The mean (±SD) age of the patients was 64±18 years, 63% were men, and symptoms began 7±4 days before admission. The most common symptoms were cough and shortness of breath; 50% of patients had fever on admission, and 58% had diabetes mellitus. All the patients were admitted for hypoxemic respiratory failure; 75% (18 patients) needed mechanical ventilation. Most of the patients (17) also had hypotension and needed vasopressors. No patient tested positive for influenza A, influenza B, or other respiratory viruses. Half the patients (12) died between ICU day 1 and day 18, including 4 patients who had a do-not-resuscitate order on admission. Of the 12 surviving patients, 5 were discharged home, 4 were discharged from the ICU but remained in the hospital, and 3 continued to receive mechanical ventilation in the ICU. Conclusions During the first 3 weeks of the Covid-19 outbreak in the Seattle area, the most common reasons for admission to the ICU were hypoxemic respiratory failure leading to mechanical ventilation, hypotension requiring vasopressor treatment, or both. Mortality among these critically ill patients was high. (Funded by the National Institutes of Health.)
Social demands and resources predict job burnout and engagement profiles among Finnish employees

ABSTRACT Background and Objectives: Latent profiles of employees’ job burnout (e.g., exhaustion, cynicism, feelings of inadequacy) and work engagement (e.g., energy, dedication, absorption) were examined. Moreover, the role of social work-related (multicultural, interpersonal, and project work demands) and personal demands (relationship demands) and social work-related resources (servant leadership, team climate) and personal resources (resilience, self-efficacy) in predicting the latent profiles were examined. Design: This study is a part of an Occupational Health Study in which 766 employees participated twice. Methods: The results were analyzed using latent profile analysis. Results: Two longitudinal profiles of burnout and engagement could be identified, namely high engagement (84% of the participants) and increasing burnout (16%) profiles. Employees who experienced high work-related social resources (servant leadership) and high personal resources (resilience, self-efficacy) were more likely to belong to the high engagement group than to the increasing burnout group. Employees who experienced high work-related social demands (multicultural, interpersonal, and project work demands) and personal social demands (relationship demands) more often belonged to the increasing burnout group. Conclusions: Social resources may help in promoting employees’ job engagement, whereas social demands are often associated with increasing burnout symptoms.
Pathological Traits Associated to Facebook and Twitter among French Users

Background: With a growing number of users, social networking sites have been the subject of numerous recent studies, but little investigation has been given to their problematic use. Objectives: Our main objective was to study the relationship between psychopathological variables (i.e., personality traits, depressive and anxiety symptoms, and stress) and problematic Facebook and Twitter use. Participants and method: A sample of 1068 Internet users (Mage = 26.64; SD = 9.5) has been recruited online. Participants completed scales exploring problematic Facebook and Twitter use, and psychopathological variables. Results: Problematic Facebook and Twitter use were predicted by different pathological personality traits, regrouped in clusters in our study. Depressive and anxiety symptoms were also predictive of problematic Facebook and Twitter use but only stress explained problematic Facebook use. Gender differences have been observed. Discussion: This study highlights the relationship between depression, anxiety, stress, pathological personality traits, and problematic Facebook and Twitter use. Significant differences have been retrieved between these two uses and their relationship to psychopathology. Future research should also explore the causal relationship between social networking sites use and psychopathology and consider gender.
Influence of family and pedagogical communication on school violence

School violence alludes to peer bullying and aggression in school. The field of communication has studied school violence by analyzing the influence of media and interpersonal relationships on aggressive behaviors. This article provides a perspective on school violence and concentrates on determining the influence of interpersonal communication with parents and teachers on adolescent aggressors and victims in school contexts. A non-experimental correlational-transverse design was used with a sample of 1,082 adolescents (M=15,61; DT=0,90). Three reliable scales were implemented to assess adolescent aggression and parental and pedagogical communication. Findings indicate that aggressions among adolescents at school and the interpersonal communication with parents and teachers present differences associated with gender (p=0,00). At the family level, it was found that offensive communication among parents and children (? =0,225; p=0,00) predicts an increment on school victimization. At the pedagogical level, it revealed that teacher communication intended to discipline students (? =? 0,297; p=0,00) and make them see the importance of school and learning (? =? 0,120; p=0,04) predicts a decrease in aggressive behavior among adolescents and school victimization. These new findings in education evidence the need to strengthen students’ interpersonal communication with their parents and teachers to obtain better results when implementing strategies to intervene and prevent school violence.La violencia escolar hace alusión al acoso y agresión entre iguales en la escuela. A nivel comunicacional, se ha estudiado este problema analizando la incidencia de los medios y las relaciones interpersonales en las conductas agresivas. Este artículo aporta una perspectiva de la violencia escolar centrada en determinar la influencia de la comunicación familiar y pedagógica en adolescentes agresores y víctimas en la escuela. Se usó un diseño no experimental de tipo correlacional-transversal con una muestra de 1.082 adolescentes (M=15,61; DT=0,90). Se aplicaron tres escalas confiables que evaluaron las agresiones entre adolescentes y la comunicación parental y pedagógica. Los hallazgos indican que las agresiones entre adolescentes y la comunicación que estos tienen con sus padres y profesores presentaron diferencias asociadas al género (p=0,00). La comunicación ofensiva entre padres e hijos (? =0,225; p=0,00) predijo el aumento de la victimización escolar. Pedagógicamente, se encontró que la comunicación del profesor orientada a generar disciplina en los alumnos (? =? 0,297; p=0,00) y hacerles ver la importancia de estudiar y aprender (? =? 0,120; p=0,04) predicen respectivamente, la disminución de los comportamientos agresivos entre adolescentes y la victimización. Estos hallazgos novedosos en materia pedagógica evidencian la necesidad de fortalecer la comunicación interpersonal de los estudiantes con sus padres y profesores para lograr resultados eficaces en la implementación de estrategias de prevención e intervención contra la violencia escolar.
Dynamic adsorption of phenol using modified coal fly ash

--Packed bed column adsorption is an efficient and cost effective process for removing various pollutants from industrial effluent. Coal fly ash (CFA) generated from coal-burning power plants may pose serious implications on the economy and environment. MCFA was synthesized from CFA, by hydrothermal alkali treatment method. MCFA was reported to be amorphous, with 43.72% Al2O3 and structure of aluminosilicate matrix. In the present study, MCFA is used as an adsorbent in packed bed column for sequestering phenol. The column was operated at variable phenol concentration (70.0, 292.7, 651.2, 1039.9 mg/l) with variable flow rate (0.375, 0.75, 1.0 ml/min), using different bed height (7.5, 13.5, 27.5 cm). Local pulp and paper mill effluent containing 78 ppm phenol was percolated through 13.5 cms bed height column (10g MCFA) at flow rate of 1ml/min rate , study showed that column was saturated after 8hrs feeding, which removed 2.378 mg/g of phenol ( 30% phenol )l from paper effluent. In insitu ,dynamic column removal of phenl was reported to be lower than pure standard phenol feed under similar experimental condition, that may be attributed to commultive adsorption of pollutants. Packed bed column of MCFA may be deemed as comparatively cheaper adsorbent for removal of phenol from phenol rich effluent like textile industry. Modified Coal Fly Ash (MCFA), may herald an interesting promise as comparatively cost-effective adsorbent for removal of phenol from phenol rich industrial effluent. The scale up design parameters of wider diameter column can be estimated as 13.5 cm bed height , 12.24 cm column diameter (d) with surface area of 117.75 cm , which can be packed with 3338.17 grams of MFCA adsorbent , which can be operated at 150 cm/min flow rate . Key words--MFCA,CFA, Phenol, packed bed column, adsorption, Thomas, YoonNelson and Adms-Bohart model,textile effluent, pulp and paper effluent, break-through curve
Multidimensional Non-Linear Pricing: Evidence from Energy Consumption with a Mixture Pricing Mechanism

In current business practice, sellers often combine a variety of pricing strategies to segment the market. These practices often leave consumers with pricing schedules that are highly non-linear and multidimensional. This paper develops a novel structural approach for estimating multidimensional non-linear pricing schemes with more than one decision variable. Using a rich and unique panel data of residents’ electricity consumption, we structurally estimate consumer preferences for electricity consumption in a setting with electricity tariffs, using both an Increasing Block Price (IBP) structure as well as a Time-of-Use (ToU) structure. Our model estimation allows us to identify and evaluate household-level elasticities in price elasticity of demand. Our counterfactual analysis shows that a seemingly welfare-improving policy may trigger the strategic behaviour of consumers and, ultimately, be contrary to the original purpose.
FIELD EFFICACY OF NEWER INSECTICIDE MOLECULES AGAINST SPODOPTERA LITURA FABRICIUS ON CABBAGE

The word “Cabbage” is derived from the French word “Coboche” meaning head and is supposed to be originated from Cyprus and around the Mediterranean coast. The larvae of Spodoptera litura (Fab.) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) has been reported to feed on 112 cultivated crops all over the world (Moussa et al., 1960). S. litura is a serious polyphagous pest of several cultivated crops and has attained global importance. Widespread development of resistance to chemical insecticides including the widely used pyrethroids has been reported in S. litura (Ahmad et al., 2007). In recent years the problem of resistance to chemical has worsened, resulting in 20-30% crop loss due to pests in India (Bhargava et al., 2008) and causing widespread hardship especially amongst poor farmers. Thus, it has worldwide distribution and cosmopolitan in food habit, feeding on the plants of economic importance. Besides this, the excessive use of only chemical insecticides has also been criticized for their deleterious effects like development of insecticide resistance in insects and pest resurgence. S. 1itura has been reported to show higher level of resistance against many of the insecticides used in the country, Hence it was necessitate to use the newer chemical insecticides or biopesticides against S. litura.
Recidivism Is Predictable and Can Be Influenced: Using Risk Assessments to Reduce Recidivism Criminal justice and corrections is a major area of sociological, historical, and psychological research

Criminal justice and corrections is a major area of sociological, historical, and psychological research. In part, this interest in justice and corrections reflects public concern with the control of crime. The research interests also reflect the extraordinary power that society offers criminal justice practitioners. In particular, the concern is that the resources and power be employed in ethical, legal, humane, efficient, and effective ways.
Canadian Banking Industry Profitability: Exploring the Relevance of Two Competing Hypotheses

This study investigates the Canadian banking industry profitability and seeks to determine if there is evidence of market power hypothesis (MPH) and/or efficiency structure hypothesis (ESH) in the industry. Using GMM and data from 2006 to 2018, it finds no support for the structure-conduct-performance (SCP) component of MPH. However, evidence of relative market power (RMP) in the industry reflects partial support for MPH, implying that banks that offer differentiated products are able to exercise market power, increase market share, and achieve better profitability. The lack of support for X-efficiency (ESX) and scale efficiency (ESS), which are components of ESH, indicates no support for the ESH. The finding that QLH holds in the industry suggests the level of competition is inadequate and that managers in the industry exhibit suboptimal behaviour. Therefore, increasing the level of competition in the industry will stimulate managerial effectiveness. Findings relating to the control variables show that spread impedes profitability, whereas capitalization and the joint influence of spread and liquidity risk have facilitating effects. Credit risk is immaterial to profitability however, the effect of economic growth can be positive. This study provides a better understanding of the industry, which is important to managers, regulators, and policy makers. The robustness checks affirm the consistency of the findings and policy implications.

The primary instrument used for data collected was structured questionnaire. Data obtained was analyzed by descriptive statistics and Logit model. The results of the types of organic farming technology practiced by small scale fluted pumpkin farmers showed that greater proportion (56.70%) of the respondents practiced soil nutrients management, (32.50%) practiced Resource recycling, (29.00%) practiced Ecosystem management and crop Diversity organic technology. The result of Logit model indicated that age, farm size, household access to extension services, access to credit and farming experience were major factors that influenced the use of organic farming technology among small scale fluted pumpkin farmers.
Performance and Attitude of Undergraduate Students of Golestan University of Medical Sciences Towards Cheating in Exams

Background and Objectives Cheating is a common phenomenon that can undermine the credibility of university tests and certificates. Cheating is a more sensitive issue among medical students. The present study was conducted to investigate the performance and attitude of undergraduate students of Golestan University of Medical Sciences in Iran towards cheating, as well asthe factors that influence cheating. Methods The present descriptive analytical and cross-sectional study was conducted in 2014 on 524 female and male undergraduate students of Golestan University of Medical Sciences. Convenience sampling was used to select the participants. The data were collected using a valid and reliable 64-item questionnaire on performance and attitude towards cheating with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.88. The obtained data were then analyzed using descriptive tests and the χ test. P < 0.05 was set as the level of statistical significance. Results Demographically, women made up 58% of the study population. In terms of ethnicity, 68.5% of the population wereFars, 24.6% Turkmen, and the rest were other ethnicities. A total of 70.6% of students had negative attitudes towards cheating. In terms of performance, 57.1% of students admitted to cheating. Significant relationships were observed between the attitude and performance of students (P = 0.001). The relationship between gender and occupational status, and attitude and performance was also found to be statistically significant (P < 0.050). Male and employed students had more positive attitudes towards cheating and actually did it more frequently than their female counterparts. Conclusions The majority of nursing students were against cheating in terms of attitude and performance. Nevertheless, to better understand this behavior and develop coping strategies, further studies should be conducted on the phenomenon of cheating in other academic activities among medical students.
Liver Imaging in Patients With Fontan Circulation

study had quality levels (quartile 1, 19.12; quartile 2, 108.2) within those given in the technical specifications (maximum values: quartile 1, 20.7; quartile 2, 108.5). Second, as a quality control measure, relaxin was measured in 2 women in week 12 of pregnancy, and elevated concentrations were found (351 and 402 pg/mL), that is, much higher concentrations than those found in patients with acute cardiac failure (median, 14.3 pg/mL). This is also in agreement with other studies in pregnant women (586 [295] pg/mL). Finally, the assay suggested by Dr. Stewart (R&D Systems; Minneapolis, United States) has not been used in publications for measuring endogenous hormone levels; the references are pharmacodynamic studies that measure the concentration of recombinant serelaxin after intravenous infusion, reaching concentrations of the order of ng/mL, that is, higher than endogenous concentrations of the order of pg/mL. When we were designing our study, we performed tests on some samples with the proposed alternative assay, without detection of endogenous relaxin concentrations. We attributed this observation to the lower sensitivity of the alternative assay. Therefore, although we support the immunoanalysis used in our study, we cannot rule out the hypothesis put forward by Dr. Stewart that other molecules may interfere in the measurement of endogenous relaxin. These scientific letters should therefore serve to highlight the need for further studies to clarify these questions, as well as the role of endogenous relaxin in heart failure, as also indicated in our original article.
Response of Physalis peruviana to fertilization with different doses of N, P and K in the Altiplano of Pasto, Colombia

In a Typic dystrandept Andisol of Pasto Altiplano (2,800 meters above sea level, 12.6°C, 820 mm/year and 900 hours of sunlight), were evaluated some variables of growth, nutrition and production of Physalis peruviana by effect of N, P and K fertilization. The treatments consisted of the application of urea (46% N) as a source of N, superphosphate Triple-SPT (46% P2O5) as a source of P, Potassium Chloride-KCl (60% K2O) as a source of K, in similar doses for each source, 80, 150 and 300 kg/ha/year applied in two periods; at transplant and 30 days later before flowering. The results showed differences in sources and doses (P ≤ 0.01) in all the analyzed variables. The dose of 300 kg/ha of Urea, 150 kg/ha of SPT and 300 kg/ha of KCl resulted in the highest values of plant height, dry matter and absorption of NPK (P ≤ 0.05). The absorption of N was greater than K, followed by P in all the assessed interactions (P ≤ 0.05). All sources evaluated at 300 kg/ha led to higher yields of Physalis peruviana (P ≤ 0.05). Moreover, positive effects were found in the absorption of NPK from yields of Physalis peruviana with 300 kg/ha of urea, 150 kg/ha of SPT and 300 kg/ha of KCl (P≤0.05), therefore these doses of fertilizers are recommended.
