Comparison of Suicidal Ideations and Self-injurious Behaviors in Patients with Complicated and Non-complicated Type 2 Diabetes

Introduction: Psychiatric problems like suicide, self-harm, and injurious behaviors are important and common in chronic diseases like diabetes. This study aimed to compare suicidal ideations and self-injurious behaviors in patients with type 2 diabetes with and without complications referring to diabetes research center in Yazd, 2017. Methods: In this case-control study, simple random sampling was used. The data were collected using standard questionnaires. Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation (BSSI) was used to investigate suicidal ideations and Sanson questionnaire was used for self- injurious behaviors. Finally, the collected data were entered into SPSS version 19. Also, t-test was used to compare the means and Chi-square test was used to compare the frequency distributions. Result: A total of 360 patients were studied in two groups of 180 (complicated and non-complicated). Of these patients, 189 (52.5%) were male and 171 (47.5%) were female. Moreover, only 1 patient (0.3%) had self-injurious thoughts and 1 patient (0.3%) had high suicidal ideations. There was no significant difference between the frequency distribution of self-injurious thoughts and suicidal ideations in the two groups (p=0.371). There was no significant difference between the frequency distribution of self-injurious thoughts and suicidal ideations in the two groups according to the gender (p=0.285, p=0.432). Conclusion: The results showed that the frequency of self-injurious thoughts and suicidal ideations in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients is low and the complications of the disease do not affect this abundance.

Intracystic Injection of Methotrexate in Postmenopausal Female Suffering from Simple Ovarian Cyst with Low Malignancy Index

Objective: To evaluate Intracystic injection of methotrexate in postmenopausal female suffering from simple ovarian cyst with low malignancy index. Methods: Clinical randomized controlled study, two group of post-menopausal females each group had 25 patients with ovarian cyst with low malignancy index (less than 25), group I : underwent ultrasound guided aspiration of the cyst followed by methotrexate injection Group II: had no interference. Both group will be followed up for 6 months . Results: Epidemiological data and the characteristics of the cyst at the beginning of the study showed insignificant relationship between two groups. In group I (study group) the time of the procedure was 12.15±1.035 min., with no complications. After follow up of the cases for 6 month it shows significant difference as regard recurrence / persistence of the cyst ( I case recurred in group1 ,and 15 case persist in group 2) with P value 0.000022 . While there was insignificant relationship as regard new symptoms , presence of complications and need for surgery . Conclusion: This technique is considered a promising technique for its management, but it couldn’t be recommended by our study as this process is invasive and it shows only single advantage over expectant management.
Influence of Leadership Styles of HeadTeachers on Pupils Learning Outcomes in Junior High Schools in Northern Ghana

school climate developers and change facilitators In specific terms, a Headteacher’s duties extend from instructional, administrative, visioning, and collaborative to relationship building. Vision is crucial to the Headteacher’s role. The cardinal role of driving vision school Abstract: The study examined leadership styles of headteachers in the Junior High Schools in Northern Ghana and how these contribute to pupils’ learning outcomes especially in examinations. Survey design was used covering 42 Junior High Schools and 384 respondents. Data was collected and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Themes and testimonies from interviews were strengthened by t-test and ordinary least squares. The study found that Headteachers employ a blend of styles that are more participatory and less consultative in their day-to-day duties. The ability and styles heads adopt in managing their schools are influenced by many variables including gender of heads, years of teaching experience and school location. The most dominant styles were participatory and these showed improvement in pupils’ scores in Basic Education Certificate Examination. The study again found that about 85.7% of the schools were rural and deprived of social amenities. Text books remain critical to quality teaching and learning but were mostly unavailable in most of the schools across the regions. Contemporary demand for education of good quality for all children reinforces the critical role of effective school leadership. The study reinforces the need for Headteachers in Junior High Schools in deprived areas who are skilled, capable, have penchant for more participatory and people centred approaches in their leadership and also more in-service training in order to strengthen headteachers’ approaches in leading stakeholders to improve pupils’ academic performance.

Optimal Control, Partial Alignment and More: The Design Of Novel Tools for NMR Spectroscopy of Small Molecules

The thesis addresses various fields of modern NMR spectroscopy. Optimal control of spin dynamics is shown to be a highly efficient mathematical tool for the design of all kind of complex pulses like broadband excitation, inversion, universal rotation pulses, or "pattern pulses". Various polymer gels have been produced chemically as orienting media without lower limit of alignment. With the introduction of such media a significant improvement of alignment scalability could be achieved, which opens the possibility of measuring anisotropic NMR-parameters to a wide range of small to medium-sized organic molecules. A number of new and significantly improved pulse sequences has been developed as well as several simulation programs.
Factors Affecting the Adoption of Quality Management Systems in Zimbabwean Hotels

This paper aims at highlighting factors contributing to late adoption of quality management systems (QMS) in the Zimbabwe hotel industry. The research answered questions on: What are the internal factors affecting adoption of QMS in hotels; What are the external factors affecting adoption of QMS in the hotels. Hotel managers and key stakeholders in the hotel industry were interviewed to get data. Focus group discussions was used to get data from hotel staff members. Directed content analysis was used to analyse data. Some of the internal factors affecting adoption of QMS in the hotel industry in Zimbabwe identified are high staff and management turnover, absence of specialised quality function, poor remuneration of hotel employees and lack of financial resources. While some of the external factors identified are high taxes and licensing fees, industry over regulation, hyperinflation, and poor industry supporting infrastructure. The study recommended for creation of hotel industry stakeholder platform to enhance adoption of QMS in the hotel industry looking at how best to ease the identified factors. There is need for a review of hotel industry operating environment from regulator perspective so as to ease the operating environment which can improve the hotels sustainability.
Worker Earnings, Service Quality, and Firm Profitability: Evidence from Nursing Homes and Minimum Wage Reforms

This paper examines whether higher earnings for frontline workers affects the quality of employees' output. I leverage increases in the statutory minimum wage, combined with worker, consumer, and firm outcomes in the nursing home sector. I find that higher minimum wages increase income and retention among low-wage employees and improve consumer outcomes, measured by fewer inspection violations; lower rates of adverse, preventable health conditions; and lower resident mortality. Firms maintain profitability by attracting consumers with a greater ability to pay and increasing prices for these individuals.

Síndrome respiratória aguda grave em pacientes pediátricos no contexto da pandemia: uma análise epidemiológica do Brasil

Introdução: Em 2020 teve início a pandemia da COVID-19, potencial causadora de Síndrome Respiratória Aguda Grave, condição de notificação obrigatória no Brasil. Apesar da baixa gravidade da infecção em crianças quando comparadas a adultos, o número de casos é alto e o impacto ainda é importante. Objetivo: Explorar o perfil clínico e epidemiológico das internações por Síndrome Respiratória Aguda Grave no contexto da pandemia, comparando com anos posteriores. Método: Realizou-se um estudo epidemiológico, descritivo e quantitativo dos casos de Síndrome Respiratória Aguda Grave em pacientes pediátricos notificados ao Ministério da Saúde, de 1 de janeiro a 30 de setembro dos anos de 2017, 2018, 2019 e 2020. Resultados: Em 2020, o total de casos de registrados foi de 58.819, dos quais 6.898 eram COVID-19. A letalidade geral foi de 3,50 e de 7,92 para os casos com COVID-19. Casos e óbitos predominaram em meninos. Houve queda de casos e mortes com avançar da faixa etária, exceto por crianças menores de 1 ano. Febre, tosse e desconforto respiratório foram os sintomas mais comuns. Asma, doenças neurológicas e doenças do coração foram as comorbidades mais comuns. De 2017 a 2020 houve aumento dos casos da síndrome, de pacientes admitidos em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva, de óbitos e da letalidade. Conclusões: O perfil clínico e epidemiológico encontrado condiz com a literatura encontrada. O novo vírus provavelmente é o responsável pelo aumento dos indicadores encontrados e há um sério problema de subnotificação no país. Abstract
Integrated Weed Management in Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.)

A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2019-20 at College Farm, S. D. Agricultural University, Jagudan. The treatments included of best combinations consisting of physical and chemical methods as well as alone. The studies signified the importance of hand weeding at 25 and 40 DAS or application of post emergence herbicides which could benefit the crops in reducing the different weed density and ultimately reduced the weed dry matter which resulted in increase in the crop yield. Keeping the crop weed free up tharvest recorded higher weed control efficiency (100%) and lower weed index (0%). Higher growth and yield attributes under physical method alone and their integration with herbicide treatments might be due to effective control of weeds, significantly reduced crop–weed competition resulting in better congenial condition for growth and development of the crop. The maximum seed yield was recorded with weed free up to harvest and was at par with the treatments in which adoption of physical and chemical methods alone and their combinations. The maximum net realization and benefit cost ratio (BCR) were recorded with treatment T2 i.e. Two interculture followed by hand weed at 25 and 40 DAS.
Nudging Green Preferences: Evidence from A Laboratory Experiment

Environmental degradation has been one of the major global concerns in the last few decades. Efforts are made to improve our environment including how to alter consumers’ preferences toward the use of environmental-friendly products. We conduct an online laboratory experiment to investigate the effectiveness of information and nudges regarding green products using social (cultural) identity-specific campaigns. Our study shows that information and green nudges are unable to alter subjects’ risk aversion and time preference. However, green nudges are effective to motivate subjects to allocate more to green product and that differs the effectiveness between information and green nudges in our context. Lastly, we find that some green perceptions are associated with subjects’ willingness to pay for green products and characteristics. We conclude with a discussion of how to effectively deliver nudges in promoting green consumption.
Healthcare professionals’ views on the most important outcomes for non-infectious uveitis of the posterior segment: A qualitative study

Background Uveitis comprises a range of conditions that result in intraocular inflammation. Most sight-threatening uveitis falls into the broad category known as Non-infectious Posterior Segment-Involving Uveitis (PSIU). To evaluate treatments, trialists and clinicians must select outcome measures. The aim of this study was to understand healthcare professionals’ perspectives on what outcomes are important to adult patients with PSIU and their carers. Methods Twelve semi-structured telephone interviews were undertaken to understand the perspectives of healthcare professionals. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed and thematically analysed. Findings were compared with the views of patients and carers and outcomes abstracted from a previously published systematic review. Results Eleven core domains were identified as important to healthcare professionals: (1) visual function, (2) symptoms, (3) functional ability, (4) impact on relationships, (5) financial impact, (6) psychological morbidity and emotional well-being (7) psychosocial adjustment to uveitis, (8) doctor / patient / interprofessional relationships and access to health care, (9) treatment burden, (10) treatment side effects, (11) disease control. Healthcare professionals recognised a similar range of domains to patients and carers but placed more emphasis on certain outcomes, particularly in the disease control domain. In contrast the range of outcomes identified via the systematic review was limited. Conclusion Healthcare professionals recognise all of the published outcome domains as patients/carers in the previous publication but with subtly differing emphasis within some domains and with a priority for certain types of measures. Healthcare professionals discussed the disease control and side effects/complications to a greater degree than patients and carers in the focus groups

This work focuses on the long time behavior for a size-dependent population system with diffusion and Riker type birth function. Some dynamical properties of the considered system is investigated by using \begin{document}$ C_0 $\end{document} -semigroup theory and spectral analysis arguments. Some sufficient conditions are obtained respectively for asymptotical stability, asynchronous exponential growth at the null equilibrium as well as Hopf bifurcation occurring at the positive steady state of the system. In the end several examples and their simulations are also provided to illustrate the achieved results.
Psychological Distress in a Population of People Living with HIV/AIDS in Nigeria: Association with Socio-demographics and Perceived Social Support

Background: Recent improvement in the care of People living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA) continues to change the face of HIV infection from a deadly disease to a chronic illness with attendance psychological sequelae. The objective of this present study was to examine the rate of psychological distress (PD), and its association with socio-demographics and perceived social support among PLHA. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among a population of PLHA in Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria. Participants completed a socio-demographic questionnaire, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and the 10-item Kessler Psychological distress scale. Relationship between sociodemographic variables, social support and PD were examined using bivariate and multivariate analyses. Results: Of 324 participants, 26.5% were experiencing PD. Being a female, unemployed, having no spouse, no post-test counseling or non-disclosure of status increases the odds of developing PD while the absence of complications significantly reduces the risk of developing psychological distress [OR=0.31 (95% CI: 0.17-0.56), AOR=0.20 (95% CI: 0.09-0.45)]. There was a significant negative correlation between PD and MSPSS (r= -0.116, p=0.037) and its Significant others subscale (r= -0.276, p=0.001). Conclusions: The study findings emphasize the importance of enhancing social support systems for people living with HIV/AIDS in a bid to reduce psychological distress. Similarly, disclosure of illness and ensuring post-test counseling are essential in preparing PLHA to cope effectively after testing. Incorporating psychological assessment as well as care for PLHA will go a long way in improving treatment outcomes.
Destination Image Impacts of Wuhan Post-pandemic on China’s Foreign Students’ Behavioural Intention

Wuhan was discouraged over time as a tourist destination after the COVID-19 pandemic spread around the world. This unique and unexpected situation, particularly affected foreign students’ behaviour, urging them to avoid the well-known Chinese tourist spot, notoriety recently tainted by the spread of the epidemic around the world. The objective of this research is to determine if there are any direct and indirect impacts of destination image on behavioural intention through attitude. Based on an online survey of 385 participants were analysed using path analysis through a nonprobability, convenience-sampling approach. Findings suggest that: (1) destination image is directly associated with attitude; (2) attitude is directly associated with behavioural intention; (3) destination image is directly associated with behavioural intention; (4) destination image is indirectly associated with behavioural intention through attitude. The outcome of this research will therefore a contribution to decision-making process managers of tourism destinations so that they can manage their business in the best possible way to accommodate the post-pandemic situation.

Influence of spleen meal and hydrolyzed yeast on growth performance, blood cells, antibody titres and IL-2 gene expression in broiler chickens

ABSTRACT Two experiments were conducted to evaluate spleen meal (SPM) nutritional value and compare its effects and hydrolyzed yeast (HY) in broiler chickens. In experiment 1, nutrient composition and metabolizable energy content of SPM were determined using male broilers. In experiment 2, 600 broiler chicks were assigned to 5 groups. Dietary treatments were control group, HY1: hydrolyzed yeast (1 g/kg), HY2: hydrolyzed yeast (2 g/kg), SPM1: (30 g/kg diet) and SPM2: (60 g/kg diet). Interleukin-2 (IL-2) gene expression and antibody titre against Newcastle and infectious bursal diseases were evaluated on day 21. apparent metabolizable energy (AME) and AMEn content of SPM were 3496 and 3296 kcal/kg, respectively. Supplementation with SPM improved (P < 0.001) body weight gain and feed conversion ratio compared to control and HY1 groups. Antibody titre against IBV was improved in SPM1, SPM2 and HY2 groups compared to HY1 and control groups. WBC was increased and heterophile was reduced in groups fed with SPM compared to control and HY groups. The highest gene expression for IL-2 was observed in broilers which received SPM1 and SPM2 compared to control and HY groups. It was concluded that dietary supplementation of HY and SPM has potential to improve broiler performance and immune response.
Effects of magnetic field treated water on some growth parameters of corn (Zea mays) plants

The current study presents the investigation of the effects of magnetic water treatment on the growth of corn ( Zea mays ) plants. A total of 120 corn seeds were divided into four groups in a complete randomized design. Normal tap water was taken and divided into four parts. The first group was given non-magnetized water, whereas the remaining three groups were given water magnetized with 3, 6 and 9 permanent magnets respectively. Eighteen permanent magnets (70 mT) and 4 pipes were used for this system. The results showed that the corn plants watered with magnetized water had higher shoot length than those of normal tap water. Magnetized water significantly increased the dry weight of corn plants when compared with the non-magnetized plants. The results revealed that magnetizing water with 6 magnets was the most influential in increasing the length of plants (194.10 ± 66.74 cm) and dry weight (52.22 ± 12.63 g). On the other hand, root length, stem thickness, and fresh weight were not significantly affected by magnetized water. The influence of magnetized water depends on the number of magnets used to magnetizing water. So as a clean and safe method, watering with magnetized water can be used to improve the growth parameters of the exposed plant.
