Effect of Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) technique on psychological status and sleep quality among depressed patients

Depression is a common mental disorder that presents with depressed mood, loss of interest or pleasure, feelings of guilt or low self-worth, disturbed sleep or appetite, low energy, poor concentration, and tendency to suicide, which can be seen in anybody regardless of age, gender, race, or socio-economic status. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing [EMDR] is an innovative, evidence based and effective psychotherapy for post-traumatic stress disorder [PTSD],as with other psychotherapies. Also EMDR technique was more efficient in reducing depression symptoms.The studyaimed to evaluate effect of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing technique on psychological status and sleep quality among depressed patients. Quasi-experimental design with pre-posttest was used to achieve the aim of this study.The study was conducted at Meet KhalafPsychiatric Hospital that related to The Ministry of Health. A purposive sample of 32 depressed patients was used. Data were collected using the hospital anxiety and depression scaleand sleep quality scale. The results revealed that the studied patients were in age group (1868) years and the mean age is 36.31years, 62.5% were male, 53.1%was single, 53.1% of them were unemployed. There was highly statistically significant difference between pre and post eye movement desensitization and reprocessing technique regarding depression, anxiety and sleep score levels. In conclusion, one can say that the Implementation of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing technique with depressed patients has a positive effect on improvingpsychological statusand sleep quality. Based on the results of this study we recommend use of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing technique for patients with depression to reduce anxiety and depression and improve sleep quality.
Effect of threshing machines, rotational speed and grain moisture on corn shelling

Al Sharifi , S. K. A. , Aljibouri, M. A. , & Taher, M. A. (2019). Effect of threshing machines, rotational speed and grain moisture on corn shelling. Bulgarian Journal of Agricultural Science, 25(2), 243–255 The effect of threshing machines on corn, Cadiz cultivar, was studied based on some technical indicators. Two types of machines (Local Corn Sheller 1 – LCS-Irs1 and Local Corn Sheller 2 – LCS-Irs2) were tested under three revolution of threshing cylinder 200, 300 and 400 rpm and three ranges of grain moistures of 16%, 18% and 20%. The experiments were carried out in a factorial experiment under complete randomized design with three replications. The results showed that LCS-Irs1 machine was signifi cantly better than LCS-Irs2 machine in all studied conditions. The results showed a sheller productivity of 1.159 and 1.118 t.h-1, power consumption of 11.142 and 11.913 kW, shelling effi ciency of 81.753% and 80.953%, unshelled grains of 3.434 and 3.884%, loose grains at kernel outlet of 3.821 and 4.723%, grains damage of 1.994 and 2.225% and grain cleanliness of 89.694 and 89.170% for LCS-Irs1 and LCS-Irs2 machines, respectively. The rotational speed of 200 rpm was signifi cantly superior to the other two levels of 300 and 400 rpm in all studied conditions, while the moisture content of grain at range of 16% was signifi cantly superior to the other ranges of 18% and 20% in all studied conditions.
PRELIMINARY CYTOGENETIC INVESTIGATION OF EUPHLYCTIS CYANOPHLYCTIS (ANURA, AMPHIBIA) FROM JAMMU AND KASHMIR, INDIA

Cytogenetic studies of skitter frogEuphlyctis cyanophlyctis was carried out from Jammu and Kashmir, using conventional staining and banding methods. Karyotypes were prepared by conventional staining in both male and female specimens. Diploid chromosomes number for the species was 2n=26 and fundamental arm number was NF=52. Giemsa stained karyotypes of both male and female comprised of thirteen pairs of biarmed chromosomes divided into two groups: first group of five pairs of larger metacentric or submetacentric chromosomes and second group of eight pairs of smaller metacentric or submetacentric chromosomes. Pair number 2, 3, and 4 among the first group and 9, 10 and 11 among the second group chromosomes. All the other chromosomes in both the groups were metacentric. Meiotic stages observed were leptotene, zygotene, diakinesis, metaphase-I and metaphase-II, from testicular cells of males. C-banding analysis of the species showed presence of centromeric C-bands in all the chromosomes of karyotype. NOR-banding showed presence of a pair of nucleolar organizer regions on the long arm of 10 th pair.
Outcome of implementing structured SWOT analysis as a post- clinical debriefing strategy among nursing students

Background: Clinical learning is a crucial element in nursing education whereas students are confronted by numerous factors that may negatively contribute the students’ outcome. That is why nursing educators may integrate debriefing as a learning strategy using reflective practice and self-analysis during experiential learning. Objectives: This study aimed to identify the outcome of implementing structured SWOT analysis as a postclinical debriefing strategy among nursing students. Method: A quasi-experimental research design was conducted to examine the effectiveness of structured SWOT as a new debriefing strategy after clinical experience on nursing students’ outcomes using four selfadministered questionnaires for both groups and SOFTES-SWOT debriefing scale for experimental group only after receiving orientation workshop. Result: Ninety students divided into 45 per each of control and experimental group. The homogeneity of the participants from both groups revealed no significant difference in participants’ age, gender, marital status, residency, and clinical grades. SWOT debriefing implementation was associated with decreasing students’ anxiety level to (34.02+6.47) compared to (38.76+8.28) in control group. Also, a significant correlation was found between students’ perception of SWOT debriefing and their anxiety, educational satisfaction, selfconference and clinical grades whereas p was less than . 01 in all these variables.
Interpreting the Rise of China

The rise of the People’s Republic of China has created significant debate for 21st Century international politics. Interpretations of China’s rise greatly differ and predictions of its economic, military and political future equally vary. On the one hand, scholars view China’s incredible economic growth as a remarkable feat; the annual growth rate of national income averaging 9.7% percent between the start of Deng Xiaoping’s market-orientated reform in 1978 and 2005 (Reddy, 2007, p.49). On the other hand, a handful of scholars view the rise of China as a cause for anxiety and a recipe for conflict; this stems from the realist presumption that a rising power inevitably uses the anarchic international system and its growing economic power to expand its military might, creating a situation ripe for conflict.
What are the Major Transitions?

The ‘Major Transitions in Evolution’ (MTE) framework has emerged as the dominant paradigm for understanding the origins of life’s hierarchical organization, but it has been criticized on the grounds that it lacks theoretical unity, that is, that the events that make up the category do not constitute a natural kind. I agree with this criticism, and I argue that the best response is to modify the category so that it does approximate a natural kind. Specifically, I recommend defining major transitions as all those, and only those, events and processes that result in the emergence of a new level of individuality. Two sorts of changes will be required to achieve this. First, events and processes that do not meet this criterion, such as the origins of the genetic code and of human language, should be excluded. Second, events and processes that do meet the criterion, but which have generally been neglected, should be included. These changes would have the dual benefits of making MTEs a philosophically coherent category and of increasing the sample size on which we may infer trends and general principles that may apply to all MTEs.
School Reform in the Arab World: Characteristics & Prospects

This paper discusses current educational reform attempts in the Arab world and their characteristics from the standpoint of international literature on effective large-scale school reform. The study followed a qualitative design using three main sources of data: 1) regional reform plans, 2) regional and international reports on education in the Arab world, and 3) journal notes and observations obtained from our work as consultants on educational reform in the region. The paper concludes by highlighting key lessons that Arab reformers can learn from international literature on effective school change in order to achieve effective school reform in the Arab world.
Performance of Broilers Fed with Homemade Ration at Varying Levels of Oil Palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) Kernel Meal as Substitute to Copra Meal

Palm Kernel Meal has nutrient and amino acid composition comparable to that of copra meal except for higher lysine and methionine but it has been relatively underutilized and considered as agri-waste by-products. The study was conducted to investigate the potential of palm kernel meal (Elaeis guineensis) as a substitute to copra meal fed to broilers. Parameters considered in the study were average initial weight, average final weight, body weight gain, average daily gain, voluntary feed intake, feed conversion ratio, return above feed and chick cost and dressing percentage. Sixty broiler chicks regardless of sex were used as the experimental animal of the study. These birds were randomly distributed into five dietary treatments, replicated three times with four birds per replication. The five dietary treatments were Treatment 1Homemade Ration without palm kernel meal (control); Treatment 2-Homemade Ration with 3.75 % palm kernel meal; Treatment 3-Homemade Ration with 7.50 % palm kernel meal; Treatment 4-Homemade Ration with 11.25% palm kernel meal and Treatment 5-Homemade Ration with 15% palm kernel meal. Data gathered were subjected to one-way Analysis Of Variance (ANOVA) in a Completely Randomized Design using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 17.0 software. Results showed no significant differences in all parameters of the study. However, despite the short term duration of the experiment, the overall result and the return above feed and chick cost (RAFCC) disclosed a bright prospect of PKM substitution for broilers.
The Performance Pay Premium, Human Capital, and Inequality: Evidence from Over Forty Years of Microdata

This paper studies the rise of performance pay contracts and their aggregate effects on the labor market. First, using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) and National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY), I document several stylized facts: (i) the share of performance pay workers grew from 15% in 1970 to nearly 50% by 2000, (ii) performance pay workers experience higher earnings levels and growth rates, work longer hours, and invest more in human capital, and (iii) performance pay workers face lower (higher) permanent (transitory) income shocks, relative to their fixed wage worker counterparts. Second, using the National Compensation Survey (NCS), I show that increases in performance pay are associated with increases in inequality at the micro-level and accelerate the rate of skill-biased technical change. Third, I structurally model the rise of performance pay contracts by solving a dynamic model with unobserved person-specific heterogeneity, discrete sector-occupation job choices, time-varying sector-occupation probabilities of performance pay, and human capital accumulation. The model is estimated using simulated method of moments. Fourth, I use the model to characterize the contribution of performance pay to aggregate inequality and examine the counterfactual effects of making the U.S. marginal tax code as progressive as the one in France.

Effectiveness of Reflective Teaching Practices on Professional Development of Agricultural Science Teachers in Secondary Schools in Port Harcourt Metropolis, Nigeria

A study was carried out to determine the effectiveness of reflective teaching practices on teachers professional development among secondary schools teachers in Port Harcourt Metropolis. Descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. The target population was 180 Agricultural Science teachers registered with the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria in the two Local Government Areas that made up the study area. The sample size was 60, randomly selected from 12 schools. The instruments for data collection were structured questionnaire and interview schedule. The collected data were analyzed descriptively using mean and standard deviation. The findings identified some reflective teaching practices such as peer observation, feedback from students (students evaluation), recording lessons, teachers self report among others as being effective for teachers professional development. Self and students evaluation appeared to be more effective on learning outcome. Peer evaluation was less effective as some teachers were critical and defensive to their peer’s evaluation. It was therefore recommended that teachers should be encouraged to analyze both their thought and observation and those of their students and make changes where necessary.
Financial Inclusion and Human Development in Sub-Saharan Africa

Over the past one decade, Sub-Saharan African countries have recorded substantial growth in their GDP to the extent that six of the ten fastest growing economies in the world are in Sub-Saharan Africa based on 2017 World Bank report. However, this seems to have benefited only the rich in this region because the gains from the GDP growth has failed to trickle down to the poor as revealed by the low human development index in the region over the years. Financial inclusion has the potential to make economic growth inclusive. Therefore, this study examined the relationship between financial inclusion and human development in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The study covers 41 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, using panel data spanning from 2004 to 2016. Annual data on all the variables were sourced from World Bank, World Development Indicators and United Nations Development program database. The model specification for the study expressed Human Development Index as a function of financial inclusion indices using panel System Generalized Method of Moment (system GMM) and the panel fixed effects models in analyzing the data for the study. The results from the analysis showed that with the exception of real interest rate (a controlled variable in all the models for the study) which has negative signs, all financial inclusion variables have positive and significant effect on Human Development Index in SSA. However, the results from the analysis of data for the different blocs within the SSA varied to various extents from the one obtained for the SSA as a whole both in signs and significance. Finally, the study concluded that financial inclusion promotes economic development by enhancing Human Development Index in Sub-Saharan Africa. Hence, policies that will lead to higher level of financial inclusion should be vigorously pursued by the countries in SSA.
Toward theoretical mineralogy: A bond-topological approach

may be used as the basis of a theoretical approach to the structure and chemical composition of minerals. This approach combines aspects of graph theory, bond-valence theory, and the moments approach to the electronic-energy density-of-states to interpret topological aspects of crystal structures, and allows consideration of many issues of crystal structure, mineral composition, and mineral behavior that are not addressed by established theoretical methods. The chemical composition of a mineral is controlled by the weak interaction between the structural unit and the interstitial complex. The principle of correspondence of Lewis acidity-basicity asserts that stable structures will form when the Lewisbase strength of the structural unit closely matches the Lewis-acid strength of the interstitial complex. This principle allows analysis of the factors that control the chemical compositions and aspects of the structural arrangements of minerals, and provides a mechanism to understand the relations between structure, the speciation of its constituents in aqueous solution, and its mechanism of crystallization. (H2O) groups in the structural unit limit the polymerization of the structural unit in one or more directions, controlling the polymerization of the structural unit. This is a major cause of structural diversity in oxygen-based minerals, and accounts for the systematic distribution in mineral species from the core to the surface of the Earth. The moments approach to the electronic-energy density-of-states provides a bond-topological interpretation of the energetics of a structure. When comparing structures, the most important structural classify chemical reactions according to the lowest-order moment of the electronic-energy density-ofstates that is conserved, which allows us to identify the principal structural changes that drive chemical change: (1) coordination number for discontinuous reactions, and (2) short-range order for continuous reactions. This relation between the bond topology of a structure and its enthalpy of formation from constituent oxides is indicated by a correlation between change in anion-coordination number and reduced enthalpy of formation for the reactions MgmSinO(m+2n) = mMgO+nSiO2.
Corn root length density as affected by soil physical properties due to different manure and short-term tillage systems

Soil physical properties and root attributes are affected by agricultural practices. This study was conducted to investigate short-term changes of soil bulk density (BD) and cone index (CI) and corn (Zea mays L.) root length density (RLD) under different management regimes. The interaction effects of tillage (no-till, NT; chisel plow, CP; and moldboard plow, MP) and composted cattle manure applications [0, 30, and 60 Mg (dry weight) ha] on BD, CI, and RLD were assessed in a split-plot design under corn plants. The RLD was determined from 10 cm diameter soil core samples. The BD and CI were determined by core method and cone peneterometry, respectively. Tillage methods and manure applications had significant effects on RLD, CI and BD. The MP system had higher values of RLD with lower values of both CI and BD. The NT system resulted in lower RLD, and higher CI and BD. The increased BD and CI of the topsoil in the NT treatment probably restricted root growth. Increasing manure to the soil significantly increased RLD in the order of 60>30>0 Mg. manure ha . There were also significant differences in CI and BD among manure treatments. The positive effects on CI and BD of manure applications are attributable to manure incorporation in soil structural improvement. The significant overall relation between RLD and CI illustrated the dominant effect of soil mechanical impedance on root growth. Our results indicate short-term beneficial effects of manure application on corn root length density as well as soil physical properties while combined with the tillage systems.
ACCELERATED TC TEST IN COMPARISON WITH STANDARD TC TEST FOR PV MODULES WITH RIBBON, WIRE AND SHINGLE INTERCONNECTION

Temperature changes in the field (day-night changes and seasons) can affect the performance of photovoltaic modules. Standard IEC 61215 temperature cycling (TC) tests emulate this ageing typically requiring 30 to 50 days for 200 thermal cycles (degradation < 5 % is the IEC pass criterion). A faster assessment of PV modules is desirable to rapidly evaluate new interconnection technologies and module concepts. We present an accelerated TC (aTC) test that ensures the IEC required temperatures of −40 °C and +85 °C to be reached within a PV module with 200 thermal cycles performed in around 9 days, which is up to 6 times faster than standard TC. We compare results of aTC and standard IEC TC for PV modules with different interconnection technologies (five busbars, wire interconnection, and shingle interconnection by electrically conductive adhesives). IV measurements show that the degradation of the PV modules treated with aTC is quantitatively similar to that of the PV modules treated with standard IEC TC. EL images do not show differences for both tests (IEC TC and aTC). We propose that our aTC test can be used in development and for material evaluation to accelerate development times.
a Proposal for a New Staging System of Extranodal Natural Killer T-cell Lymphoma, Nasal-Type: a Multicenter Study of Chinese Southwest Oncology Group (CSWOG)

Purpose: Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTL), is a rare and highly aggressive disease. The Ann Arbor staging system had been unsuitable to proper staging of ENKTL. This study was conducted to establish a new staging system specified for ENKTL, which can identify poor prognostic patients. Patients and Methods: Patients with untreated, centrally reviewed diagnosis of ENKTL were included in our study. The new staging system was established based on the study of single center consecutive patients treated with CHOP-like regimens with or without involved field radiotherapy (IFRT), then we initinated a multicenter confirmation study and conducted a multicenter prospective study to validate the new staging system. Results: From Jan 1997 to June 2006, 134 consecutive patients treated in the cancer center of Sun Yat-sen University were analyzed. The following was a summary of the classification system developed: stage I: lesions confined within nasal cavity or nasopharynx without local invasiveness (paranasal sinuses or bony or skin invasion); stage II: localized disease with local invasiveness; stage III: localized disease with regional lymph node involvement (cervical lymph nodes); and stage IV: disseminated disease (lymph nodes on both sides of diaphragm, multiple extranodal site). The distribution of stage I to IV using the new system and Ann Arbor system were 39.6%, 23.9%, 23.1%, 13.4% and 63.4%, 23.1%, 5.2%, 8.2%, respectively. The 5-year OS rate of stage I to IV using the new system were 29.5%, 23.4%, 21.3% and 0.07% compared with 23.8%, 21.3%, 0.0% and 0.0% using the Ann Arbor system. In the multicenter confirmation study conducted in 18 centers in China, 722 patients were analyzed. The results showed that the distribution of the new system compared with Ann Arbor system from stage I to IV were 24.1%, 34.9%, 18.3%, 22.7% vs 59.1%, 19.0%, 6.9%, 15.0%, respectively, and the 5-year OS rate of stage I to IV were 56.0%, 48.3%, 33.8%, 26.1% vs 50.7%, 39.1%, 10.8%, 28.0%, respectively. For the multicenter prospective study, 233 newly diagnosed ENKTL patients treated with non-CHOP-like regimens were enrolled and showed a balanced distribution of 17.2%, 39.9%, 19.3%, 23.6% vs 53.6%, 25.3%, 6.9%, 14.2% from stage I to IV and superior 5-year OS rate: 82%, 73%, 67%, 54% vs 75.2%, 65.6%, 46.9%, 73.8% from stage I to IV using the new system in compared with the Ann Arbor system. Conclusions: The new staging system with a more balanced distribution and a superior prognostic discrimination as compared with Ann Arbor staging system no matter for CHOP-like or non-CHOP-like regimens, is more suitable for ENKTL and can be recommended used in the future. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
