Subjective Well-being and Intergenerational Support Exchange in Old Age in Rural Vietnam

This paper investigates how intergeneration support influence rural elders’ subjective wellbeing in Vietnam, based on the data of the survey ‘Strengthening Social En gagement in Elderly Care in Changing Economic and Family Structure in Asia: Policy and Practical Dialogues between Local Communities in Vietnam and Japan’ conducted in 2017. The sample analysis of this paper is 307 respondents aged 60 and older in rural areas in the middle of Vietnam. Subjective wellbeing includes psychological well-being, self-rated health and life satisfaction. We find that all elders’ psychological wellbeing becomes more positive when they provide financial support for their children. Despite the economic difficulties and the prevalence of filial norm, the financial provision is not viewed as the burden to the older adults but helps them to confirm their position and power in the intergenerational relations. Nonetheless, receiving the spiritual care is more like to improve their psychological well-being and life satisfaction. The results suggest that the effect of the intergenerational support exchange should be taken into consideration when improving the quality of life for the elderly.

Cortney S Warren 1,2 Liya M Akoury 1Department of Psychology, University of Nevada Las Vegas, Las Vegas, NV, USA; 2Choose Honesty, LLC. , Las Vegas, NV, USA; 3Walden Behavioral Care, Amherst, MA, USA Abstract: A large body of research suggests that thin-ideal internalization is a robust predictor of eating pathology in women and, to some degree, in men. Recent research is exploring the relationships between thin-ideal internalization and culture-specific factors that may be salient to women and men who live in the US but are marginalized based on racial or ethnic background, such as acculturation. This systematic review summarizes published articles examining the relationships among thin-ideal internalization, acculturation-related constructs (including assimilation, marginalization, biculturalism, and acculturative stress), and eating pathology in US adults. Following the PRISMA method, 15 empirical studies met inclusion criteria. Although existing literature was sparse and conflicting in large part due to heterogeneity in acculturation measures, results yielded some support for positive correlational relationships between acculturative stress, thin-ideal internalization, and eating pathology for both men and women (in 4 out of 5 relevant studies). Research on other aspects of acculturation (eg, integration, assimilation) is mixed, with some existing research suggesting a positive relationship and other research finding no statistically significant relationship. Future research would particularly benefit from a gold-standard, multidimensional transcultural measure of acculturation to examine how the acculturation process relates to thin-ideal internalization and eating pathology in ethnic and racial minorities in the US.

Pershang Sharifpour Fazel Dehvan Sahar Dalvand Reza Ghanei Gheshlagh 2 1Student Research Committee, Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences, Sanandaj, Iran; 2Clinical Care Research Center, Research Institute for Health Development, Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences, Sanandaj, Iran; 3Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, School of Public Health, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common risk factor for metabolic syndrome (MS) that increases the chance of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and mortality. Many studies have been conducted on this matter, but the results are still conflicting. The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between metabolic syndrome (MS) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in Iranian patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Patients and Methods: This matched case–control study was conducted with 190 patients with T2D in Sanandaj, Iran. The data were selected using the demographic questionnaire, clinical and anthropometric measures, the Berlin Questionnaire (BQ), and the National Cholesterol Education Program’s Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP-ATP III). Participants were divided into two groups of high risk of OSA (experimental) and low risk of OSA (control). The data were analyzed using Stata, version 14. Results: The frequency of MS was higher in the OSA group than the control group (81.1% vs 70.5%), but the group differencewas not statistically significant (p=0.127). The results of crude and age-sex adjusted logistic regression analysis revealed no significant association between OSA and the other variables under study (P>0.05). Sensitivity analysis and external adjustment for BMI showed no significant relationship between OSA and the other variables under study (P=0.319). Conclusion: In the present study, no significant association was found between metabolic syndrome (MS) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with T2D; therefore, more studies should be conducted on this subject.
A revised analysis of ferrihydrite at liquid helium temperature using Mössbauer spectroscopy

Abstract Short-range-ordered Fe(III) minerals such as ferrihydrite (Fh) are ubiquitous in the environment, are key players in biogeochemical cycling, and sorb trace elements and nutrients. As such, it is important to be able to identify the presence of such minerals in natural samples. Fh is commonly observed to be X‑ray amorphous and cannot be easily analyzed using X‑ray diffraction, meaning that spectroscopic methods such as X‑ray absorption or 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy (MBS) are necessary for accurate identification and quantification. Despite decades of research into Fh using MBS, there is a discrepancy in the literature about the exact parameters applicable to the mineral when measured at liquid helium temperature. Fh is frequently fitted with either one, two, or three hyperfine sextets with little interpretation applied to the meaning of each, which is problematic as a one sextet model does not account for the asymmetric lineshape frequently observed for Fh. Here, we address inconsistencies in the fitting of Fh and provide a more standardized approach to its identification by MBS. We present a systematic comparison of diferent fitting methods, notably based on Lorentzian and Voigt functions. We suggest that the most suitable approach to fitting pure Fh at liquid helium temperature is with two sextets (A and B) fitted using an extended Voigt-based function with the ability to apply probability distributions to each hyperfine parameter. 2-line Fh: A (δ = 0.49 mm/s; ε = 0.00 mm/s; Bhf = 50.1 T) and B (δ = 0.42 mm/s; ε = –0.01 mm/s; Bhf = 46.8 T) 6-line Fh: A (δ = 0.50 mm/s; ε = –0.03 mm/s; Bhf = 50.2 T) and B (δ = 0.40 mm/s; ε = –0.05 mm/s; Bhf = 47.1 T). We interpret the two sextets to be due to either diferences in the coordination environment of iron, i.e., in tetrahedral or octahedral sites, the presence of a disordered surface phase, or a combination of both. We hope that provoking a discussion on the use of MBS for Fh will help develop a greater understanding of this mineral, and other short-range ordered iron minerals, which are so important in environmental processes.
BASIN IN NORTHERN MINAS GERAIS, BRAZIL PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE LACUSTRINE STRATA OF THE SANFRANCISCANA

We report new data on the geology and the fossil record of the Sanfranciscana Basin in sites to the north of the tradi onally explored locali es within Minas Gerais. The strata in the new explored area are formed by dis nct lithologies, encompassing peli c rocks with caliche levels and metric bodies of cross-bedded sandstone towards the top, similar to the fluviolacustrine beds of the Areado Group in the southern por ons of the basin. Also similar to other regions of the São Francisco Craton, the deposits of the Sanfranciscana Basin studied herein lie discordantly to the rocks of the Bambuí Basin. We preliminarily report neopterygian fish scales, li le informa ve archosaurian bones and an associa on of the ostracods IlyocyprisFossocytheridea. This ostracod associa on is registered for the first me in the Cretaceous of the Sanfranciscana Basin. The ostracods have been collected from the lacustrine, vertebrate-bearing rocks cropping out in Lagoa dos Patos and Coração de Jesus. The cytherideid Fossocytheridea assigns a minimal Ap an age to its bearing rocks. Its associa on with Ilyocypris was also reported in Upper Cretaceous oligohaline paleoenvironments in Brazil and Argen na, indica ng similar deposi onal condi ons to the strata reported in this paper. The puta ve affini es of the specimens of the Sanfranciscana Basin with F. ventrotuberculata, and their associa on with Ilyocypris, raise the hypothesis of a younger age for some levels of that basin in northern Minas Gerais, perhaps ranging into the Late Cretaceous.
Antimicrobial and Antioxidant Activities, Total Phenolic and Flavonoid Contents of Bee Pollen Crude Extracts

Bee pollen is a natural product from honeybees which is rich in bioactive compounds. Bee pollen grain and powder were extracted using conventional and sonication extraction methods. All bee pollen crude extracts could not inhibit growth of test pathogenic bacteria. The antioxidant activity was analyzed via DPPH free radical scavenging activity assay and found that the ethanolic extract of bee pollen grain obtained by conventional method had the highest antioxidant activities (p<0.05), 40.69±3.01 mg GAE/g extract. When phenolic content was evaluated, the aqueous extract of bee pollen grain by conventional method showed the highest total phenolic content (103.06±1.96 mg GAE/g extract) while ethanolic extract of bee pollen powder by conventional method exhibited the highest flavonoid content, 56.40±4.85 mg QE/g extract. The data obtained provides the guideline for insightful evaluation of bee pollen biological activities for designation of novel supplementary food products in the future.
The Factor of Autointoxication and Autoimmune Disorders in Some Mental Diseases and the Approach to Therapy

Introduction: The hypothesis of schizophrenia and some other mental disorders is not new. However, there is not enough convincing evidence of this hypothesis, including laboratory and instrumental studies. It is necessary to conduct a wide range of objective, including clinical studies and determine the approach to therapy. Purpose: Identification of objective evidence of the presence of intoxication (autointoxication) and autoimmune disorders in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia and depressive disorders and the selection of an adequate method of treatment for these diseases. Method: The study included inpatients and outpatients diagnosed with a depressive episode (severe and moderate severity) and schizophrenic spectrum diseases, according to the international classification of diseases of the 11th revision, who were treated from 2013 to 2018, using ECT (Efferent Combination Therapy) and antipsychotics. Results and Conclusion: A depressive episode was diagnosed in 255 and schizophrenic spectrum diseases in 215 patients. Among the surveyed 225 women, 245 men aged 18 to 65 years. The results obtained showed the effectiveness of ECT (complete and incomplete remission) in 98% of the depressed and 86% of patients with schizophrenia.
Informative tests in signaling environments

We study a receiver's learning problem of choosing an informative test in a signaling environment. Each test induces a signaling subgame. Thus, in addition to its direct effect on the receiver's information, a test has an indirect effect through the sender's signaling strategy. We show that the informativeness of signaling in the equilibrium that a test induces depends on the relative informativeness of the test's high and low grades. Consequently, we find that the receiver's preference relation over tests needs not comply with Blackwell's (1951) order. Our findings may shed light on phenomena such as grade inflation and information coarsening.
Improving Polyphonic Piano Transcription using Deep Residual Learning

In this thesis a new deep learning method is adapted for frame-wise polyphonic piano note transcription. It is based on the idea of Residual Learning which is then extended with Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory units and a Multitask Learning strategy. Furthermore, the final transcription system applies an aggregation function to simultaneously detect the onset, pitch and offset of the notes. The use of complementary methods combined into one model enables the transcription system to significantly improve the note-level detection performance and allows it to produce perceptually rich transcriptions. The evaluation is performed on frame-level and note-level metrics and utilizes a common test set on the publicity available MAPS dataset. Thus, the proposed transcription system is recommended as the new state-of-the-art for this dataset.
Morphology Evolution and Elimination Mechanism of Bubble Marks on Surface of Microcellular Injection-Molded Parts with Dynamic Mold Temperature Control

The morphology evolution and elimination mechanism of surface bubble marks on microcellular injection-molded parts with dynamic mold temperature control were investigated. It is found that with the increase of mold temperature, the surface bubble marks with morphology of rolling ribbons and uneven gullies formed in low mold temperature conditions gradually evolve into thin and tiny strips and finally disappear. The evolution of surface bubble marks under high mold temperature conditions undergoes a process from generation to disappearance, that is, the melt first forms a surface with originally generated marks; then the bottom melt of the generated marks is continuously pushed out and forms island protuberances, thus gradually dividing and reducing their space and volume; finally, the original marks are eliminated. Escaping from the gap between mold and melt and redissolving into the high-temperature melt are the main ways the gas in the original surface bubble marks disappears.
An Architectural Smell Evaluation in an Industrial Context

—A known symptom of architectural erosion is the presence of architectural smells in software systems. They are the result of design decisions which negatively impact on software quality, and may lead to what is called Architectural Technical Debt. When such problems arise, developers feel difficulties in maintaining and evolving their architectures. Some tools have been developed to automatically identify architectural smells and in this study we propose the evaluation of architecture erosion in an industrial context through Arcan, an analysis tool able to identify eight architectural smells. In particular, we report the results of an industrial case study born from the collaboration between a Laboratory of the University of Milano-Bicocca and an italian company active in the software consulting field. The study has been structured as a survey on the architectural smells detected by the tool, from which we collected the feedback and opinions of the three projects’ developers. Developers learned about architectural smells and became aware of the fact that their project had additional problems with respect to what they knew. We propose this work as a pilot for future works on the perception of AS in industrial context.
High-Dose Methotrexate, A Tried-and-True Treatment with Genomic Delicacies: A Case Report

The prediction of methotrexate (MTX) adverse events has been a challenge to the clinician; here we present a case of toxicity after the previous exposition with the development of hepatic, renal, and hematologic toxicity. The development of methotrexate toxicity has been previously analyzed in our institution, where a significant percentage of the patients present polymorphisms in the reduced folate carrier and the methylene-tetrahydrofolate reductase, which several groups have associated with toxicity and treatment efficacy. The clinical applicability of this knowledge in the prevention and dose adjustment is still debatable; a genomic screening for all patients that will be exposed to methotrexate (especially in high doses) is warranted.
Comparing the Effects of Sleep and Rest on Memory Consolidation

Introduction: There is ample evidence that overnight sleep and daytime naps bene ﬁ t memory retention, compared to comparable amounts of active wakefulness. Yet recent evidence also suggests that a period of post-training rest (eg, quiet wakefulness with eyes closed) provides a similar memory bene ﬁ t compared to wake. However, the relative bene ﬁ ts of sleep vs quiet waking rest on memory remain poorly understood. Here, we assessed the extent to which sleep provides a unique memory bene ﬁ t, above and beyond that conferred by quiet waking rest. Methods: In a sample of healthy undergraduate students (N=83), we tested the effect of 30 mins of post-learning sleep, rest, or active wake on concept learning (dot pattern classi ﬁ cation) and declarative memory (word pair associates) across a 4-hr daytime training-retest interval. Results and Conclusions: Contrary to our hypotheses, we found no differences in performance between the three conditions for either task. The ﬁ ndings are interpreted with reference to methodological considerations including the length of the experimental interval, the nature of the tasks used, and challenges inherent in creating experimental conditions that can be executed by participants.
Does corporate governance structure matter for firm financial performance? A system GMM panel analysis for Vietnam

This paper investigates the impact of governance characteristics on financial performance of companies listed on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange. By employing the system generalized method of moments estimator and a panel dataset covering 152 firms over the period from 2011 to 2016, our results indicate that corporate governance characteristics namely the size of board and block-holder ownership, affect the financial performance of Vietnamese firms. Surprisingly, no statistically significant evidence is found concerning the impact of other characteristics such as board gender diversity, CEO duality and non-executive director representation on firm performance.
Level 2 processor and auxiliary data for ESA Version 8 final full mission analysis of MIPAS measurements on ENVISAT

Abstract. High quality long-term data sets of altitude-resolved measurements of the atmospheric composition are important because they can be used both to study the evolution of the atmosphere and as a benchmark for future missions. For the final ESA reprocessing of MIPAS (Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding) on ENVISAT (ENViromental SATellite) data, numerous improvements were implemented in the level 2 (L2) processor Optimised Retrieval Model (ORM) version 8.22 (V8) and its auxiliary data. The implemented changes involve all aspects of the processing chain, from the modelling of the measurements with the handling of the horizontal inhomogeneities along the line of sight to the use of the Optimal Estimation for retrieving the minor species, from a more sensitive approach to detect the spectra affected by clouds to a refined method for identifying low quality products. Improvements in the modelling of the measurements were obtained also with an update of the used spectroscopic data and of the databases providing the a priori knowledge of the atmosphere. The HITRAN_mipas_pf4. 45 spectroscopic database was finalised with new spectroscopic data verified with MIPAS measurements themselves, while recently measured cross-sections were used for the heavy molecules. The so-called IG2 data set, containing the climatology used by MIPAS L2 processor to generate the initial guess and interfering species profiles when the retrieved profiles from previous scans are not available, was improved taking into account the diurnal variation of the profiles defined using climatologies from both measurements and models. Horizontal gradients were generated using ECMWF ERA-Interim data closest in time and space to the MIPAS data. Further improvements in the L2 V8 products derived from the use of the L1b V8 products, which were upgraded to reduce the instrumental temporal drift and to handle the abrupt changes in the calibration gain. The improvements introduced into the ORM V8 L2 processor and its upgraded auxiliary data, together with the use of the L1b V8 products, lead to the generation of the MIPAS L2 V8 products that are characterised by an increased accuracy, better temporal stability, and a greater number of retrieved species.
