Adult Daughter-Mother Attachment: Psychometric Properties of Turkish Version of Adult Attachment Scale

The present study aims to assess the psychometric qualities of the Turkish version of the Adult Attachment Scale (AAS) assessing adult daughter’s current attachment to their elderly mother. In total, 560 women with the mean age of 39.6 have participated. Parallel to the original study, exploratory factor analysis was conducted with adult daughters ( N = 304) who were providing instrumental help to their mothers regularly. Results yielded 2 correlated factors (secure base and safe haven). Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the factor structure is applicable to the adult daughters who were not providing regular help to their mothers ( N = 256). Measurement invariance was established across two groups constructed in terms of the presence of instrumental help provided to the elderly mothers by their adult daughters. Internal consistency and 6-month stability for the scale are satisfactory. Further evidence for convergent and concurrent validity has been supported by presenting a positive correlation of AAS with the level of significance of the mother in the adult daughter’s attachment hierarchy as compared to other attachment figures, levels of quality of the current relationship and the frequency of contact with the mother. Results are discussed in terms of AAS’s appropriateness for Turkish culture and possible contribution in an understanding attachment to a parent in late adulthood, a critical emerging need for the aging world.
Enough for rations and a little bit extra : challenges of nutrition improvement in an Aboriginal community in North-East Arnhem Land

"Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular and renal disease contribute significantly to the lower life expectancy and disproportionately high rates of morbidity of Indigenous Australians; diet plays a key role in protecting against these conditions; the people of Galiwin'ku, an Aboriginal community in North-East Arnhem Land, are striving to improve their health and well-being by addressing the nutritional quality of the food supply and encouraging healthy eating practices; through a series of studies, this thesis investigates the problem of poor nutrition and the factors influencing eating behaviour in Galiwin'ku community; guided by the social-ecological perspective of the PRECEDE-PROCEED model, this thesis comprises four assessment phases: 1) an epidemiological assessment (screening study) of the extent of type 2 diabetes and related conditions; 2) a behavioural and environmental assessment of dietary intake, food affordability and availability (quantitative assessment of community level food supply); 3) an educational and ecological assessment of historical and contemporary factors impacting on diet and nutrition improvement (archival, observational and structured and unstructured interview methods); and 4) an administration and policy assessment of facilitators and barriers to improving the nutritional quality of food available through the community store (case study using observational and structured and unstructured interview methods); the epidemiological assessment identified excess weight gain among young people as a modifiable risk factor to prevent type 2 diabetes; the behavioural and environmental assessment identified access to healthy food and poverty as key determinants of food choice; the educational and ecological assessment suggests that nutrition improvement efforts need to consider broader-based determinants such as employment, housing, the availability and cost of food, and illicit substance use; the administration and policy assessment found the community store a critical intervention point for increasing the availability of healthy food choices; to achieve this, a framework is proposed based on a collaborative 'whole-of-store' approach that integrates feed-back into a cyclic improvement model" [Taken from abstract]
Polish labour market and employees with higher education

This paper presents the situation of persons with higher education on the Polish labour market. The analyses aspects concerning the performance of educated persons on the Polish labour market, in particular: stability of employment, occupied position, working time and level of job satisfaction, along with the main determinants of such an assessment. Special attention is paid to invisible underemployment (overeducation) and overemployment. The source of the data are the results of an empirical study conducted among a group of over 900 respondents with higher education. Statistical methods were used (primarily descriptive statistics). The research presented in the article indicates that the vast majority of people with higher education are employed. The activity rate for this group is significantly higher than for less educated persons. What is more, such persons usually have permanent employment and, less often, work for a specified period or run their own business. However, it should be emphasized that about 40% of employees hold positions that do not require college education, which are below their qualifications. Another important problem is overtime work (overemployment). Almost every third of highly educated employees would like to work fewer hours per week.
Application of Knowledge Management Approach on Agricultural Development in Developing Countries

Agriculture is a core stone of the economy for the most of the developing countries in the world, and it is going to be fundamental base for further development of the other sectors as well. Nowadays, we can witness a period of dynamic changes and transformations that affect the rural areas in particular and the society in general. Today, Ethiopian agriculture is transforming from subsistence farming into market oriented sector of economy. Thus, leveraging knowledge is an essential element for the transformation of Ethiopian agriculture from subsistence farming into commercially successful sector. The main objective of the research study is to identify the current level of managing tacit and explicit knowledge by smallholders, and to examine the application of the Nonaka’s knowledge management approach in the agriculture of the developing countries. The study was conducted in the Wolaita Zone in Southern Nations Nationalities and Peoples Region (SNNPR) of Ethiopia covering 21 rural districts and 3 urban districts. Among them only 3 districts, such as Humbo, Areka from Boloso Sore Woreda and Boditti from Damot Gale Woreda, have been selected for this research study. In the total, 128 farmers were selected by using simple random sampling method. The research findings were measured and interpreted based on quantitative and qualitative data institution process techniques. The study concluded that despite the education level of the smallholder farmers integration of new technologies is in need. It is also recommended to create a possible model of linking appropriat knowledge with responsible institution for successful KM process in the country for further development.
Ultimate bearing capacity of peat treated with cement columns in physical model

Peat is classified as very soft and problematic soil due to its natural behaviour of high compressibility, low in shear strength and with high natural water content. Cement column method is commonly used to stabilise the soil by improving the engineering properties. This research aimed to study the unconfined compressive shear strength and the ultimate vertical bearing capacity of stabilized tropical peat of East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. A group of cement columns were tested in a series of physical model testing. To study the strength behaviour of peat with or without the cement stabilization, physical models were prepared with different variables such as; the number of cement column, proportion of binders (Ordinary Portland Cement-OPC) and the pozzolanic materials (Palm Oil Fuel Ash-POFA). In this research, a total of 9 physical models testing of peat soil including one without the stabilized cement column were conducted. A group of 4 and 6 cement columns with 25 mm diameter and 200mm in length each was installed. Samples were cured for 28 days as soon as the mixing of cement columns completed. After curing, a series of axial loads were applied uniformly on the pre-fabricated steel plate footing from the top of the cement column in order to study the ultimate bearing capacity of the stabilised soil. The change in strength of the soil was evaluated using Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) test. Based on the results, the highest ultimate bearing capacity was recorded in Model 6 with 6 cement columns with area improvement ratio of 18.83 %. The sample with 300kg/m3 of OPC has the highest UCS value of 106.88kPa. Hence, the cement columns mixed with binder and pozzolanic improved the strength and the ultimate bearing capacity of the peat soil.
Perceived Competencies for Seniors Care in Long Term Care Homes: An Examination in Therapeutic Recreation Undergraduate Curricula

Therapeutic recreation (TR) is an important contributor to the health and well-being of residents living in long term care (LTC). In order to enhance quality of life of residents, it is essential that Therapeutic Recreationists have gerontological competencies and knowledge relevant to LTC. The confidence levels of Therapeutic Recreationists (n = 130) and recreation staff (n = 357) in performing gerontological competencies in long term care, Therapeutic Recreationists‟ perceived gaps in their gerontological competencies and TR educators‟ perceptions on graduates‟ competencies were examined. A quantitative descriptive study was conducted. A survey was distributed to long term care homes in Ontario. Results indicated that recreation staff (1) have the least amount of confidence in writing care plans and assessing spirituality; (2) they have the most confidence in implementing programs for residents with dementia and physical disabilities, and recognizing that resident behaviour is communication based on need; and (3) have higher confidence if they took in-service training and continuing education courses. TR graduates have the least amount of confidence in completing RAI-MDS, assessing spirituality, and assessing physical health and illness conditions. The recent TR graduates revealed that learning about aging topics in courses is associated with confidence levels in gerontological competencies and that internship/placement experience was not associated with confidence levels in gerontological competencies. Further research should examine gerontological competencies and gerontological content in TR curricula including practitioner perspectives of required competencies and gaps in the LTC setting. This study can assist educators in designing programs for TR candidates that may better prepare them for working with residents in LTC.
Visual Place Recognition under Severe Viewpoint and Appearance Changes

Over the last decade, the eagerness of the robotic and computer vision research communities unfolded extensive advancements in long-term robotic vision. Visual localization is the constituent of this active research domain; an ability of an object to correctly localize itself while mapping the environment simultaneously, technically termed as Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). Visual Place Recognition (VPR), a core component of SLAM is a well-known paradigm. In layman terms, at a certain place/location within an environment, a robot needs to decide whether it’s the same place experienced before? Visual Place Recognition utilizing Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) has made a major contribution in the last few years. However, the image retrieval-based VPR becomes more challenging when the same places experience strong viewpoint and seasonal transitions. This thesis concentrates on improving the retrieval performance of VPR system, generally targeting the place correspondence. Despite the remarkable performances of state-of-the-art deep CNNs for VPR, the significant computation- and memory-overhead limit their practical deployment for resource constrained mobile robots. This thesis investigates the utility of shallow CNNs for power-efficient VPR applications. The proposed VPR frameworks focus on novel image regions that can contribute in recognizing places under dubious environment and viewpoint variations. Employing challenging place recognition benchmark datasets, this thesis further illustrates and evaluates the robustness of shallow CNN-based regional features against viewpoint and appearance changes coupled with dynamic instances, such as pedestrians, vehicles etc. Finally, the presented computation-efficient and light-weight VPR methodologies have shown boostup in matching performance in terms of Area under Precision-Recall curves (AUC-PR curves) over state-of-the-art deep neural network based place recognition and SLAM algorithms.

Customers’ Acceptance Level Of Smart Restaurant Services In Penang

Nowadays, the world is changing rapidly, with innovative technology, a new set of challenges need to be considered and addressed. The discussions about using technology in restaurants and food service sector only cover some of the main topics such as information system management and integration, automation, data analytics, and guest-facing technology. However, despite the positive prospects of smart technology in the hospitality industries, they have not been adopted widely in Food and Beverage (F&B) sectors in some Asian or Middle Eastern countries. This study aims to investigate the core motivations for adopting smart restaurant services in developing countries such as Malaysia. The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between the predictors’ variables such as perceived cost, perceived enjoyment, novelty, and customers’ acceptance level of smart restaurant services as a dependent variable. A research framework is developed based on the extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Diffusion of Innovation Theory (DOI). The quantitative research approach was applied to the empirical part of this study to test the conceptual model. Therefore, to achieve this purpose, a survey was conducted in Penang, Malaysia. The data was collected from 150 respondents and analysed by SPSS statistical software. The research results indicate that perceived enjoyment (PE) is the most significant predictor in customers’ acceptance of a smart restaurant which is followed by perceived cost (PC). However, Implications of the findings is relevant and helpful to both academia and F&B operators along with future research opportunities with an industrial standard for restaurant entrepreneurs.
Cobalt‐free perovskite SrTa0.1Mo0.1Fe0.8O3‐δ as cathode for intermediate‐temperature solid oxide fuel cells

Ta5+ and Mo6+ substituted SrFeO3‐δ perovskites were researched as cathodes of intermediate‐temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT‐SOFCs). The samples were synthesized with three components, e.g. mono‐doped SrTa0.2Fe0. 8O3‐δ, SrMo0.2Fe0. 8O3‐δ and co‐doped SrTa0.1Mo0. 1Fe0.8O3‐δ. Their phase structure, thermal stability, electrical conductivity and electrochemical catalytic property were researched comparatively. Ta5+ and Mo6+ co‐doped SrTa0.1Mo0. 1Fe0.8O3‐δ possesses better electrochemical catalytic activity than that of the mono‐doped SrFeO3‐δ. The performance difference between the mono‐doped and co‐doped SrFeO3‐δ has a close relation with the different contents of oxygen vacancy in the materials. The synergistic effect derived from Ta5+ and Mo6+ co‐doping enhances the amount of oxygen vacancies in material, thus resulting in its better electrochemical property. The cells with SrTa0.1Mo0. 1Fe0.8O3‐δ as cathode deliver a Rp of 0.085 Ω·cm2 and an output of 931 mW·cm‐2 at 800 °C.

Background and Aims: The aim of this study is the revalidation of the Beliefs about Medicine Questionnaire (BMQ) in outpatient gastroenterology clinic patients, in Greece. Methods: A cohort of 163 patients diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD) was included in the study, with the majority of them being in the remission phase. Diagnosis of IBD was established using standard diagnostic criteria. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics and frequency analysis, Pearson's correlation and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: Internal consistency of the BMQ validated with Cronbach's α, being 0.757 in overall and 0.795 and 0.691 for the specific and general parts, respectively. The data adequacy for factor analysis was determined with Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure > 0.5, while inter-item correlations were found to be significant in all cases. Conclusions: The Greek version of BMQ presented satisfactory psychometric/measurement properties indicating its reliability for use in patients with IBD who receive care in an outpatient hospital clinic.
The Combined Moderating Effects of Coworker Support and Occupational Coping Self-Efficacy on the Relationship Between Mistreatment by Patients and Burnout

ABSTRACT Following exposure to workplace violence, coworkers can often be an important source of support for healthcare professionals. There is evidence to suggest that social support may not always be beneficial, even when it is provided by close others. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the moderating effect of coworker support on the relationship between mistreatment and burnout is contingent upon occupational coping self-efficacy beliefs. Sample included 105 nurses from various hospitals and healthcare centers; and a sample of 234 healthcare professionals employed at a mental health hospital. Self-reported, anonymous questionnaires were analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression. Tthe more frequently employees experience mistreatment from patients or their relatives, the more likely they are to experience emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. Results lend support to the existence of a three-way interaction between interpersonal mistreatment, coworker support and occupational coping self-efficacy in the prediction of emotional exhaustion. An increase in support received by coworkers strengthened the effect of mistreatment on emotional exhaustion among low self-efficacy individuals. Results also showed that the combination of high self-efficacy and low coworker support could be equally harmful in terms of energy-depleting consequences.
How a Teacher Education Program Through Action Research Can Support English as a Foreign Language Teachers in Implementing Communicative Approaches: A Case From Taiwan

Communicative approaches have been a dominant paradigm in foreign/second language teaching since the 1980s. However, they are not widely accepted by teachers in many English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts. The current study adopted an action research approach to study classroom practice in a Taiwanese EFL secondary school, to identify and solve any problems arising. Three volunteer teachers and their 90 students were involved. The results suggest that the teachers’ limited understanding of the approaches seemed to be a dominant factor and further suggest that some commonly cited obstacles in the implementation of communicative approaches result from the teachers’ lack of understanding. This investigation gained insights into how teachers can learn and can be supported from the five cycles of action research. These experiences may provide a useful reference for practitioners and teacher education/development programmers in a variety of contexts.
