The Effect of Bullying on Depression, Academic Activity, and Communication in Adolescents in Surakarta: A Multilevel Logistic Regression

Background: Human interaction requires com­munication as a transmission of informa­tion, ideas, emotions, skills, and so on. Com­mu­nica­tion occurs when a source conveys a message to the recipient with a conscious in­ten­tion to influ­ence the recipient's behavior. One of the pro­blems in social communication is bully­ing. Bully­ing or harassment can be through words or through actions that aim to make the opponent's mental fall and pressure. The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors that influence bullying against depres­sion with the Health Belief Model and Social Cognitive Theory. Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectio­nal study conducted in junior high schools in Surakarta, in December 2019. A total sample of 250 adolescents was selected by simple random sampling. The dependent variable was bullying. The inde­pen­dent variables were perceived sus­ceptibility, perceived severity, cues to action, perceived threat, perceived benefit, perceived barrier, self-efficacy, depres­sion, academic activi­ties, and communication. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by a multiple multilevel logistic regres­sion run on Stata 13. Results: Bullying increased depression (b= 3.69; 95% CI= 1.51 to 9.00; p= 0.004) and poor communication (b= 4.95; 95% CI= 2.24 to 10.89; p <0.001). Bullying decreased academic achievement (b= - 5.68; 95% CI= -12.33 to -2.62; p<0.001). School had strong contextual effect on depression with ICC= ICC= 20.91%. Conclusion: Bullying increases depression and poor communication. Bullying decreases academic achievement. School has strong con­textual effect on depression.

The effectiveness of various video ad-choice formats

ABSTRACT Audiences are hostile to advertising on the Internet, so ad-supported video streaming services have experimented with new interactive formats to make viewers more receptive to advertising. This lab study investigated explanations for the effectiveness of one of these new formats, advertisement choice, and potential variations of this format. The results confirm that advertisement choice increases arousal, consistent with the greater attention and involvement explanations offered by prior studies. However, after controlling for individual differences, we found no significant positive effects of advertisement choice on measures of advertising effectiveness. We also tested a range of current and potential advertisement-choice formats but found none that were better than a choice between two ads for the same brand. A harder choice between three ads had a negative effect, compared with no-choice ads. Choices between different brands had positive effects on ad liking, but competitive interference effects on recognition and recall. These results suggest that advertising choice at least does no harm, and offers viewers the benefits of choice, and advertisers the ability to reach streaming video viewers.
Phylogenetic relationships among Coregonus species inferred from the DNA sequence of the first internal transcribed spacer (ITS1) of ribosomal DNA

Phylogenetic analyses based on morphometrics, data on protein electrophoresis, and mitochondrial DNA have given conflicting phylogenetic hypotheses for the subfamily Coregoninae (Prosopium, Coregonus, and Stenodus). To resolve these conflicts, phylogenetic analysis of 13 taxa of Coregoninae was done using a nuclear gene, the first internal transcribed spacer (ITS1) of the ribosomal DNA (rDNA). ITS1 sequences of all North American ciscoes were identical. In agreement with analyses based on other molecular data, the genus Stenodus was included in Coregonus, and there was no support for the monophyly of the ciscoes. The analysis based on rDNA also placed C. peled as the sister species to C. lavaretus, but this may represent a case of hybridization and introgression. A length polymorphism involving a repeating unit of 65-67 base pairs was found in the ITS1. All ciscoes except C. peled had one copy of the repeat. Coregonus peled, C. lavaretus, and Eurasian and Beringian C. clupeaformis had two copies of the re.
What's it worth? Value and valuation of late-life creativity

Abstract New interest in late-life creativity has arisen in gerontology. To date, such research has mainly focused on the positive impact creativity has on older adults, but has scarcely contextualised older adults’ creative engagement. Drawing on the sociology of valuation, this article aims to contextualise late-life creativity by critically exploring how creativity gains, stabilises and loses its value and how these processes are related to perceptions, images and discourses addressing old age. Data from 13 interviews with older (60+) adults involved in creative practices in Austria are used to explore these topics. Interviews examined perceptions of creative production, everyday routines and personal attitudes towards ageing. Interviews transcripts were analysed using the documentary method. The analysis revealed three registers of valuation in late-life creativity: economic value, in which valuable creativity was given away at a high revenue; field value, where valuable creativity was appreciated by institutions or other artists in the field; and lifecourse value, in which doing a creative activity for a long time meant being able to produce a creative product that was high in value. This article emphasises late-life creativity as a process of value production that is structured by the making and evaluating of creative products and adds to the current critique that the narrow view of late-life creativity in its associations with wellbeing present a reductionist picture of the capacities that the arts and creativity have for older adults. The results demonstrate the potential for valuation studies in gerontology as they highlight the circumstances and practices by which the activities of older adults are (de)valued. For policy and practice, this article suggests imagining arts-based interventions for older adults beyond the realm of health and wellbeing, and encourages thinking about how valuable artistic experiences can be supported in later life.
Analysis of behavioral effects of drugs

Behavioral pharmacology has largely replaced explanations of the behavioral effects of drugs in terms of hypothetical constructs with descriptions of the environmental or behavioral factors that modify drug effects and by characterization of behavioral mechanisms of drug action. The qualitative and quantitative modulation of behavioral effects of drugs by current and past behavioral and environmental variables has been amply demonstrated. However, fewer studies have been directed toward elucidation of behavioral mechanisms of drug action. The concept of behavioral mechanism implies that drugs can alter behavior in a manner functionally equivalent to the manner in which other variables alter behavior. Owing to the complexity of the determinants of behavior, a host of tactics is required for a comprehensive analysis of the behavioral effects of drugs. Detailed understanding of the various interpretations associated with the results of descriptive and mechanistic studies is essential to the development of adequate accounts of the manner in which drugs affect behavior. Studies elucidating the behavioral or environmental factors that influence the behavioral effects of drugs as well as studies of behavioral mechanisms of drug action may aid other disciplines within pharmacology and the neurosciences by ultimately pinpointing specific behavioral substrates of drug action. This information should greatly facilitate further investigations of the link between behavior and physiological processes as well as provide rational bases for development.
Habitat selection by grayling. II: Preliminary results on larval and juvenile daytime habitats

Larval grayling were found along the shoreline at velocities <20 cm s-1 depths <40 cm, shear stress <2 dyn m-2 and over sand and silt. Juveniles were found in the river channel at currents of 20-40 cm s-1 depths of 40-60 cm and shear stresses of 2-4 dyn m-2, over gravel and pebbles.
Effects of Green HRM and CEO ethical leadership on organizations' environmental performance

Purpose – This study proposes and tests a model grounded in resource-based theory to describe how the formal rules embedded in an organization’s green human resource management (GHRM) combine with informal cues communicated by members of the firm’s upper echelon, including the CEO and members of the top management team (TMT), to affect a firm’s environmental performance. Design/methodology/approach – Multi-source data were collected from 240 human resource managers, chief financial officers and CEOs in 80 firms. Findings – The results show that CEO ethical leadership moderates the positive relationship between GHRM and TMT green commitment, which in turn mediates the relationship between GHRM and firms’ environmental performance. Originality/value – The tested importance of CEO ethical leadership as an organizational condition that amplifies the effectiveness of strategically aligned HRM systems offers new theoretical insights to advance HRM scholarship.
Pectoral Fin Kinematics of Coris Formosa (Teleostei, Labridae)

A fish propelling itself by means of the pectoral fins, was filmed with a high speed cine camera. For each film frame the movements of the pectoral fins were analysed and the body velocity calculated. The fin beat cycle can be divided into three phases. The ef fects of each phase on the body velocity are variable, but downstrokes generally cause deceleration and upstrokes acceleration. The intermediate phase sometimes showed acceleration possibly caused by a jet of water squirted out from the space between fin and body wall. The discrepancy between the observed fin shapes and the simplified representation of the fin as a flat plate is discussed. Estimates of drag and swimming force are made.
Characterization of cowpea cultivars for variations in seed contents of some antinutritional factors (ANFs).

ABSTRACT Varietal variability in seed contents of 6 antinutr itional factors (ANFs) of importance in cowpea was studied using 104 accessions. The aim of the study was to h elp broaden the selection guide for cowpea lines fo r consumption especially for individuals who depend l argely on cowpea for protein and for selection of c ultivars with intrinsic potentials to resist insect pest inf estation for cultivation by farmers. The Phytic aci d ontent varied from 2.58 – 3.91 with a mean value of 3.09 ± 0.24 m g/g; Oxalate ranged from 0.57 – 0.99 with a mean of 0.78 ± 0.08 mg/g; Trypsin inhibitor ranged from 14.98 27 . 93 with an average of 21.39 ± 2.41 TIU/mg; Hemaggl utinin varied very widely from 5.10 83.00 with a mean of 63.92 ± 10.72 HU/mg; Tannin varied from 2.14 4.2 1 with a mean of 3.08 ± 0.54 mg/g; whereas Cyanogenic glyc oside ranged from 370.0 402.0 with an average val ue of 388.63 ± 8.48 mg/kg. We report here a very high deg re of variability in all the ANFs among the access ion (p < 0.0001), suggesting ample opportunities to select cultivars of choice for consumption, for genetic i mprovement of the crop, and for possible presence of accession with natural ability to resist pest attack.

Kuntze e Podocarpus lambertii Klotzsch. A distribuicao diametrica da comunidade demonstrou padrao proximo ao J invertido e as populacoes tiveram padroes de distribuicao diferenciados. Foram descriminados tres agrupamentos floristicos associados a sazonalidade termica e a temperatura media anual. O presente fragmento esteve agrupado a outras areas de sazonalidade termica maior ou igual a 3,053°C.
“Wait! I don’t get it! Can we translate?”: Explicit collaborative translation to support emergent bilinguals’ reading comprehension in the intermediate grades

ABSTRACT Throughout our targeted approach of explicit collaborative translation during small-group reading instruction in a bilingual education classroom, fourth grade emergent bilinguals employed the strategy to comprehend narrative text in a range of ways, similar to middle school students in reading instruction research. As students acknowledged the usefulness of their translation skills in constructing meaning with text, they also demonstrated increased initiative to engage in reading across classroom literacy events. Findings from this exploratory inquiry, including initial evidence of students’ developing bilingual identities of competence, suggest further research is warranted on explicit collaborative translation as part of a growing corpus of evidence-based translingual practices in bilingual classrooms.
Phosphate nutrition of Australian heath plants. I. The importance of proteoid roots in Banksia (Proteaceae)

The proteoid roots of Banksia ornata were examined in the laboratory and in the field for any special features of phosphate metabolism. It was found that these roots were particularly efficient at absorbing phosphate, but this feature was possibly allied with a high root surface area rather than with a metabolic factor. Both proteoid and non-proteoid roots formed the same proportion of polyphosphate and other phosphorus fractions. In the field, even during winter, the proteoid root layer was shown to be active in absorbing phosphate. Evidence pointing to polyphosphate formation was also obtained. It was shown that the extensive carpet of these roots at or near the soil surface could constitute an effective nutrient-trapping organ.
A convergent convex splitting scheme for a nonlocal Cahn–Hilliard–Oono type equation with a transport term

We devise a first-order in time convex splitting scheme for a nonlocal Cahn–Hilliard–Oono type equation with a transport term and subject to homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions. However, we prove the stability of our scheme when the time step is sufficiently small, according to the velocity field and the interaction kernel. Furthermore, we prove the consistency of this scheme and the convergence to the exact solution. Finally, we give some numerical simulations which confirm our theoretical results and demonstrate the performance of our scheme not only for phase separation, but also for crystal nucleation, for several choices of the interaction kernel.
Toxicological assessment of Aralia mandshurica (Araliaceae) root extract after subchronic administration in rats. A biochemical and histological study

The toxic subchronic effect of an extract of Aralia mandshurica on rats of both sexes was studied over a period of 90 days (0.2, 1.7, 3.4 g/kg p.o.). The toxic effects of Aralia mandshurica on the following enzymes were evaluated: alanine amino transferase (ALT), aspartate amino transferase (AST), serum alkaline phosphatase (SAP), total proteins and serum urea. Blood samples were obtained by means of retroorbital puncture with a microcapillary tube on days 15, 30, 45, 75 and 90 of the administration of Aralia mandshurica. The body weight was registered every week, and at the end of the study a necropsy was performed and the liver, lungs, kidneys, heart, spleen, gonads and adrenal glands were weighed. Liver, gonads and kidneys were examined histologically.
Diel variation in the vertical distribution and schooling behaviour of sardine (Sardina pilchardus) off Portugal

Diel patterns in the schooling behaviour and vertical distribution of pelagic fish schools were studied by examining their echotraces from repeated acoustic survey transects at three inshore sites off the Portuguese coast. At two sites, sardine was the dominant pelagic species, and echotrace characteristics of fish schools were similar to those reported in the literature. At the third site, where there was a multispecies pelagic assemblage that included sardine, there was more variability in several of the school descriptors. At all sites, fish schools expanded after sunset, enlarging their cross-sectional area along the horizontal plane and reducing their mean internal acoustic density, while maintaining their overall mean abundance. Downward migration was rapid (within 1 h) after sunset and simultaneous with school expansion. School-like aggregations with total backscattering similar to daytime schools were present throughout the night, although the proportion of small schools and scattered fish appeared to increase at that time. At dawn, sardine rose back up the water column and rapidly reformed into the typical daytime schools. This pattern of diel vertical migration is opposite to that described for most clupeoids worldwide. The implications of this behaviour on abundance estimation by acoustic monitoring surveys for small pelagic fish are discussed.
The response of the bovine mammary gland to an infusion of staphylococci

Summary Small numbers of bovine staphylococci, usually less than 30, were infused into the teat cistern of 17 cows secreting less than 100 000 leucocytes/ml milk. Infection was assumed to have occurred if the organisms multiplied sufficiently to be recovered in the foremilk and inflammation was regarded as demonstrated if there was an increase in leucocytes. If the staphylococci were recovered at the 1st post-infusion milking they were consistently recovered thereafter and inflammation always followed but was never evident at the 1st post-infusion milking. Inflammation was usually evident by the 3rd but in one instance was delayed to the 11th post-infusion milking. There was never inflammation in the absence of infection. When there was a high probability that the infusion contained one organism or more, infection occurred in 2 of 10 quarters infused with coagulase-negative staphylococci and 23 of 25 quarters infused with coagulase-positive staphylococci. A significant positive relationship was found between the number of staphylococci found at the 1st post-infusion milking and the number of leucocytes at the 3rd postinfusion milking.
Paecilomyces variotii as A Plant-Growth Promoter in Horticulture

In the present study, P. variotii, an endophytic fungus isolated from plant roots from the Cabo de Gata Natural Park (Parque Nacional Cabo de Gata—Spain), was tested to determine the effect on the growth promotion of tomato and pepper seeds and seedlings. For these purposes, germination trials in a laboratory and two experiments in a commercial nursery and greenhouse conditions were performed. The P. variotii isolate has shown a high ability to produce siderophores and IAA, but low ability to solubilize P. High values for germination percentage, seedling vigor, root and shoot length were obtained by P. variotii on tomato and pepper against control. P. variotii applications resulted in improved most of the growth parameters evaluated, for both horticultural crops, with the best results in the development of pepper seedlings. The application of a higher dose of P. variotii improved most of the morphological parameters and the Dickson quality index (DQI) value in tomato in seedlings and plants. The establishment of the endophytic fungus at the root enabled its biostimulant effects to persist after transplantation without any additional application. Few studies have analyzed this species as a biostimulant. The positive results from the tests showed its high potential. The application of this isolate can be of enormous benefit to horticultural crops for its high reproductive and establishment capacity.
On two closely related species of Xiphinema americanum-group: X. simile Lamberti, Choleva & Agostinelli, 1983 and X. parasimile Barsi & Lamberti, 2004 (Longidoridae), with a description of the male of X. parasimile

Several populations of Xiphinema simile Lamberti, Choleva et Agostinelli, 1983 and two of X. parasimile Barsi et Lamberti, 2004, originating from various habitats – natural and man-made, have been studied. Xiphinema simile was associated both with cultivated and naturally growing plants, while X. parasimile was recovered from soil around grapevine. Data on the morphological and biometrical characteristics (including juvenile stages) are presented and variations discussed. Pharyngeal bulbus and glandularium length, vaginal and uterine characteristics were shown to be good diff erentiating characters. Th is report of X. parasimile is a new record for Bulgaria as well as a new plant association for the species. Th e description of its male is provided for the fi rst time. Th e Bulgarian population of X. parasimile showed the same pattern as the Serbian population revealed by the RFLP analyses of D1-D2 region.
DECLINING LEGISLATIVE DISSENT IN CHINA: EVIDENCE FROM NATIONAL AND PROVINCIAL PARTY CONGRESS ELECTIONS

Abstract Using a novel statistical method, we estimate the vote counts of the secret elections held by the National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party from 1945 to 2017. We also construct a metric for voter preference diversity based on a standard index of legislative party fractionalization. We find that both the number of dissenting votes and the voter preference diversity index plummeted to the bottom in 2017, which is an unprecedented phenomenon in the party's history. Applying the same method to provincial party congress elections from 2006–2017, we find that provincial dissenting votes also declined around the same time, though the magnitude is relatively smaller and there is a wide range of provincial variations. We suggest that President Xi's suppression of formal party institutions is complete at the national level but not yet at the provincial level.
Wheat by-products in poultry nutrition. Part I. Chemical and nutritive composition of wheat screenings, bakery by-products and wheat mill run

A study was conducted to investigate the variability in chemical and nutritive composition of wheat screenings, bakery by-products and wheat mill run used by the feed industry in Canada. On average, and in comparison to wheat (as-fed basis), the wheat screenings (16 samples) contained less starch (457 vs. 560 g kg-1; P 0.05), phytate phosphorus (2.4 vs. 3.0 g kg-1; P > 0.05), and higher levels of protein (151 vs. 126 g kg-1; P < 0.0001), fat (66 vs. 12 g kg-1; P < 0.0001) and non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) (100 vs. 91 g kg-1; P < 0.01). A negative relationship (P < 0.0001) between starch and fat contents of the wheat screenings samples was noted indicating that a decrease in starch content of 20 g kg-1 would result in an increase in fat content by approximately 9 g kg-1. This inverse relationship should result in the maintenance of a relatively high content of available energy in.
