Objective:To observe the therapeutic effect of total glucosides of paeony capsules combined with Cetirizine tablets and Vit E cream in treating patients with facial corticosteroid-dependent dermatitis.Methods:Fifty patients with facial corticosteroid-dependent dermatitis were randomly divided into the treatment group(n=30) and the control group(n=20). The two groups were given hormone de-escalation therapy firstly,and then treated with Cetirizine tablets and Vitamin E cream.The treatment group received total glucosides of paeony capsules additionally.The therapeutic effect and adverse effect were observed after treatment for four and eight weeks.Results:After treatment for four and eight weeks,the total effective rate was 76.67% and 96.67% in the treatment group,and was 45.00% and 70.00% in the control group,respectively,the differences being significant(P 0.05). The four-week and eight-week therapeutic effect of the treatment group was superior to that of the control group.Signifcant difference was found in four-week and eight-week effective rate of the treatment group(P 0.05),while insignificant difference was found in the control group(P 0.05). Conclusion:Total glucosides of paeony capsules combined with Cetirizine tablets and Vitamin E cream has certain effect for facial corticosteroid-dependent dermatitis,and is with slight the adverse effect.
Predictors of sexual victimisation and suicidal ideation among transgender and gender-nonconforming adolescents

ABSTRACT To better understand the well-being of transgender and gender-nonconforming (TGNC) adolescents, this study examined the relations among bias-based peer victimisation, sexual harassment, parental support, school belonging, sexual violence, and suicidal ideation in a sample of a total of 16,292 high school students from the U.S (TGNC n= 610) Midwest. Students completed self-report measures: 22% of TGNC adolescents reported being forced to take part in sexual activity, and 33% reported being sexually harassed. Tests of the individual parameters revealed four variables that differentiated between those who reported sexual victimisation and those who did not. Results indicated that sexual harassment victimisation, bias-based peer victimisation, problematic drug use, and female sex assigned at birth predicted sexual victimisation. Suicidal ideation was predicted by sexual victimisation, sexual harassment victimisation, bias-based peer victimisation, and problematic drug use. Greater parental support and school belonging were associated with less suicidal ideation. Practitioners, teachers, and school administrators should be sure to intervene in instances of transphobic victimisation and sexual harassment that occur in their classrooms and schools in order to address adverse outcomes for TGNC adolescents.
ACHIEVEMENT IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE COURSES AND STUDENTS’ EXPOSURE TO THE LANGUAGE OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM

Students’ achievements in English language have often been emphasized in mass media and academic literature. Language learning is a conscious process and the product of either formal or informal learning situation by having the exposure of the language itself. When social interaction using a target language among students was low, it resulted in poor performance and low language competency. Thus, this research was carried out to study whether the exposure to the language from mass media and social interaction differed based on their achievement in English language courses. 369 students from various programmes that had taken English courses in a private college in Melaka were identified as the samples of the study. Adapted version of the Language and Social Background Questionnaire (LSBQ) was utilized to determine how frequent the samples were exposed to both English in their social circle and through mass media. The samples were divided into different groups of poor, average, and high achievers according to their most recent grades in the respective language courses. ANOVA tests were conducted between the variables and the P value was set at . 05. The findings indicated that exposure to mass media in the English language significantly differed based on achievement in English language courses. Specifically, the significant difference was recorded between the excellent achievers and the poor achievers.
Current trends in TPACK research in science education: a systematic review of literature from 2011 to 2017

This paper reviews the research published from 2011 to 2017 that focuses on the characteristics and emerging topics on Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) in Science education. A systematic search of the relevant research was undertaken of electronic databases including ERIC and Scopus using several key terms. Focussing on peer-reviewed journal articles, the screening process began with a perusal of the title and abstract, followed by the analysis of the purpose, method, findings, discussion and conclusion. The results showed that most of the research used pre-service teachers as the participants (56%). One-third used in-service teachers (31%) or both of them (13%). Furthermore, our results showed that the majority of studies use general science context (69%). Fewer studies focussed on specific subject domains, including biology (13%), Chemistry (19%), and Physics (6%). Based on the analysis of the current research, we found five key emerging trends, including the identification of teachers’ TPACK (100%), the relationship between TPACK and other components of technology integration (19%), strategies to developing preservice teachers TPACK (50%), how teacher implement TPACK (44%), and developing an instrument for TPACK (19%). Based on the analysis, we suggest some topics that need further investigation.
Powered by Immersion? Examining Effects of 360-Degree Photography on Knowledge Acquisition and Perceived Message Credibility of Climate Change News

ABSTRACT Research on the effects of climate change imagery has mainly focused on traditional photographs or infographics, thereby neglecting other visual presentation forms increasingly used in today’s digital landscape. Hence, this study investigates how an immersive 360-degree photograph affects individuals’ knowledge acquisition and perceived message credibility when being embedded in text-based climate change coverage. To isolate the modality features driving potential effects, the 360-degree photograph is contrasted with two less immersive visualization forms (video and still photo). News readers’ issue-specific prior knowledge, topic involvement, and level of environmental concern were considered as potential moderators. Results of an online survey experiment (N = 401) reveal detrimental effects for adding 360-degree technology to text-based news on knowledge acquisition and provide no evidence for effects on perceived message credibility. Moreover, the effects do not vary among levels of the three moderators under study. The implications of these limited effects for environmental communication are discussed.
An Exploratory Study of Using Personal Blogs for L2 Writing in Fully Online Language Courses

The chapter reports the results of an exploratory study examining the use of personal blogs for the development of L2 writing skills in fully online language courses. The chapter outlines the methodology of the blog project including pedagogical objectives, task design, selection of digital tools, and implementation. The study involved 48 beginning students who used blogs for their writing assignments over the course of two consecutive summers. Both quantitative and qualitative data collected from post surveys, blog entries, and comments, and final interviews were analyzed. The results indicated that students perceived blogging as an effective tool for building their writing skills. Moreover, the chapter revealed that feedback scaffolding affected students' efforts to make improvement on both content and form. The study concludes that while writing performance can be assessed by the implementation of a well-designed blog project, sufficient time for feedback interaction and strategies for effective use of feedback are vital to foster reflective thinking and collaborative learning.
Chordoma: An Ongoing Challenge

Abstract Chordomas are rare, slow-growing tumors believed to originate in remnants of the embryonic notochord. They may arise anywhere along the spinal column, most frequently in the sacrum, followed by the clivus of the occipital bone in the skull base posterior to the sella turcica. Their peak incidence is in the sixth decade. Most chordomas are sporadic but familial examples occur, sometimes linked with tuberous sclerosis. Presenting symptoms of intracranial examples may include local pain, headache, visual disturbances, or other effects of increased intracranial pressure attributable to the mass effect. Sacral chordomas may result in pathological fractures and pain and nerve compression affecting the lower extremities. The histopathology of chordomas, reminiscent of the notochord, is composed of epithelioid cells in a rich myxoid matrix, bearing a unique pattern of coexpression of epithelial markers and S100. Rarely, dedifferentiated and poorly differentiated forms of chordoma may exist. The immunodiagnosis of chordoma has been advanced by the detection of brachyury, a highly specific marker of notochord-derived chordomas. The mainstay of therapy for chordoma is aggressive surgery and radiation therapy, with few effective chemotherapeutic options. They pose a significant risk of recurrence, relentless local growth, and eventual metastatic spread. In the era of targeting molecular pathways in cancer treatments, attention in chordoma has been focused on receptor tyrosine kinases, PI3K/AKT/mTOR, and brachyury gene copy number in both sporadic and familial tumors, and SMARCB1/INI1 in poorly differentiated chordomas.
Investigation of the interaction between cross-modal stimuli and item grouping and their potential effects on working memory

Working memory capacity is limited and can be affected by various factors. It is suggested that working memory can hold up to 3-4 objects. Empirical research indicates that the larger the number of visual material individuals hold in working memory, the less memory is accurate. Yet, fast and accurate recognition of objects can be achieved through haptic investigation and the storage of visual-auditory items is substantially increased when individuals are presented with spoken words. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential interaction of cross-modal stimuli (visual-auditory/visual-haptic) and item grouping, along with their separate effects, on working memory. Two item presentations were utilized; one where participants were presented with visual-auditory items and one where participants were presented with visual-haptic items. All participants were presented with both grouped and non-grouped items. The items’ recognition (free recall) was measured in 135 participants, using a 2x2 factorial mixed ANOVA design. Statistically significant results were observed for the main effect of item grouping on working memory [(F(1,133)=40.179, p<0.001, two-tailed, –2=0.090]. No statistically significant results were observed for the main effect of cross-modal stimuli on working memory [F(1,133)=0.36, p=0.549, two-tailed], or for the interaction between item grouping and cross-modal stimuli on working memory [(F (1,133)=2.959, p=0.088, two-tailed]. Such results indicate that item/material grouping is a contributory factor to individuals’ working memory, closely related to students’ learning and memorization within a classroom environment. Future research should investigate the effects of these variables, along with item familiarity, on long-term memory.
An investigation of diagnostic sex bias for narcissistic personality disorder, in comparison to histrionic and antisocial personality disorders

The present study investigated diagnostic sex bias. Specifically, the validity of the gender base rate hypothesis (i.e, relying on the gender base rate information provided in the DSM-III-R for differential diagnoses), which has previously been offered as an explanation for diagnostic sex bias, was tested against an alternative hypothesis, that clinicians base their diagnoses on gender sex role expectations. It was predicted that clinicians would display a diagnostic sex bias for Narcissistic personality disorder, which the gender base rate hypothesis could not explain, but the sex role expectations hypothesis could. This study also investigated how strictly clinicians adhere to DSM-III-R criteria when making diagnostic decisions. Three hundred and seventy-two doctoral level clinicians comprised the sample. Each clinician read one of eighteen versions of a case scenario, made a diagnosis, and completed several post-experimental questionnaires. A subset of the clinicians also completed a DSM-III-R criterion checklist.
Faculty Morale: A Perspective for Academic Leaders

Faculty morale plays an important role in academic life. Morale influences faculty behavior, productivity, and quality of teaching; ultimately affects student learning and program quality; and is predictive of faculty turnover. It is an often overlooked but worthy challenge for academic leaders. This article examines faculty morale, its meaning, and factors that influence it and explores strategies for promoting it in a university department. Faculty morale is a cognitive, emotional, and motivational approach toward the work of the department and may be reflected by a sense of common purpose, group cohesion, and a sense of personal value in the organization. Research shows that faculty morale is affected by various aspects of work life including workload, supportive resources, and recognition. However, evidence also suggests that 2 of the strongest variables influencing morale are relationships with colleagues and perceptions of the abilities and actions of the department leader. Strategies are suggested for promoting faculty morale that are derived from the research, a survey of department chairs, and experience.
Learning to talk : men's management of distress through disclosures

As a result of social stigma and male normative gendered expectations, many men continue to conceal their problems from others and are reluctant to seek help. Such behaviour is assumed to contribute to these men getting fewer health consultations, having high suicide rates and the associated large number of avoidable male deaths. As a group, men in midand later-life have largely been neglected in research practice and appear to be particularly vulnerable as this group has shown a recent rise in suicide rates. This study aimed to increase understanding into how and why men in midand later-life weigh up decisions to disclose or conceal when suffering under mental-distress. Studying the decision making behaviour of men in midand laterlife not only addresses a group which is underrepresented in research, but further poses potential for identifying the development of distress disclosure behaviour in connection with phases in life. Within a life-course framework, and using in-depth interviews, this study enquired into past decision-making behaviour of 20 men aged between 45-86 years of age when having had to cope with serious issues. A subsequent thematic analysis of results revealed four factors relevant for understanding this problem. 1) For many men, as boys, the act of distress disclosure was suppressed within the family. Boys were discouraged from acknowledging forms of distress and disclosing distress was associated with weakness and ungratefulness. For most men, these associations remained largely unchallenged well into adult life. 2) For a large number of men, their social network does not appear to provide adequate possibilities for disclosure, being either too small or inadequate in nature. 3) Ensuring high levels of confidentiality and professionality and minimising the time and effort needed to be invested in the help-seeking process can ease the act of disclosure towards professionals and lay people for men in distress. 4) Certain personal developments, such as those acquired through illness or psychotherapy can enable men to overcome stigma in later life and disclose to others when necessary. Suggestions for application and further research are discussed.
Mathematics Teacher and Curriculum Quality, 2005 and 2016

Efforts to improve teachers’ knowledge and to change the nature of curriculum materials have dominated mathematics reforms since the late 1990s. In this article, we compared middle school teachers’ mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT) and curriculum use between 2005 and 2016 to assess progress toward these key goals. We found teachers’ MKT increased an amount equal to the average teacher in the 2005 sample improving five percentile points. However, No Child Left Behind’s attempts to encourage mathematics degrees in this population do not explain this increase, as teachers were less likely in 2016 than in 2005 to possess such a degree. Instead, our data are consistent with schools hiring more knowledgeable individuals during the Great Recession. Between surveys, the strength of the association between teacher MKT and student demographic characteristics decreased, although equity gaps still persist. Finally, our data suggest a modest movement toward standards-based curriculum materials over this period.
Trihexyphenidyl triggered hypomania in a bipolar patient

We observed a case of tardive dyskinesia after regular use of low dose chlorpromazine. An anticholinergic agent; trihexyphenidyl (THX) was used to treat the tardive dyskinesia. Treatment response was satisfactory, but brief hypomanic episodes occured. Because the patient was symptom free for long periods of time, we suspected that THX may have a negative effect on the course of the disease or it may have induced hypomania. These episodes were controled with short term use of olanzapine. When the dose of THX was further increased, we determined elevation of mood. History of bipolar disorder in his family and having the early onset type of bipolar disorder were features of our case making the tardive movement disorder more likely. Although THX may be an effective option in tardive dyskinesia, change in the course of the disease in bipolar patients may be a possibility.
Personality and the gender gap in political ambition

In this article, we offer an analysis of the gender gap in political ambition that takes personality and other canonical predictors of levels of ambition into account simultaneously. We use original large-N survey data from Britain. We find that the gender gap in nascent ambition is robust to the inclusion of measures of personality alongside traditional socio-economic predictors of political ambition. Second, we find that increased extraversion is related to higher levels of nascent ambition, but only for women. Third, we find that personality does not drive any move from intending to run for office to actually doing so.
Age and Strengths in a Community Corrections Sample

Abstract Variables conceptualized as strengths are theoretically important for the management of recidivism risk among juveniles and adults. Although measures of strengths are related to recidivism outcomes, little is known about whether these factors may vary in prevalence or predictive validity across age. We examined the predictive validity of strengths among male parolees supervised within community corrections (N = 3,169) rated by supervision officers. The prevalence of strengths did not differ across age. Further, strengths exhibited a promotive effect across all age groups in that predictive validity was consistent across age, with the exception that strength variables were associated with an enhanced promotive effect among older individuals when predicting violent community outcomes. In particular, prosocial relationships were more strongly related to reduced violent recidivism among older compared to younger parolees. Further research is required to identify factors that may have protective or buffering effects among higher risk younger individuals.
Personal Characteristics as determinants of Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy among University Students in Pakistan

Entrepreneurship is considered as a solution to unemployment. It is believed that Entrepreneurial Self-Effi cacy (ESE) is imperative for a person to be an entrepreneur. This study aims to examine the determinants of ESE among university students in Pakistan. This is one of the fundamental constructs in the psychology of entrepreneurship research and often integrated in entrepreneurial intentions models to explain why some persons are more likely than others to become entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurial Self-Effi cacy Scale prepared by Chen, Greene, and Crick (1998) was used in this study for collecting data. Total 800 questionnaires were distributed among conveniently selected students out of which 742 completely fi lled questionnaires were returned with a response rate of 92.75%. The results revealed a signifi cant difference between bachelor and master class students in terms of ESE. The model R-squared indicated that 5.7 percent of the variation in the ESE is explained by the personal characteristics. The paper concludes by pointing out some limitations of the study and discussing the possible effect of personal characteristics on ESE.
The effect of mentoring on protégés in an organization development course

ABSTRACT The purpose of our study was to explore the effect of mentoring, on protégés, in an organization development course. This study is timely, because to enact organization development (OD), practitioners need multiple frameworks to make sense of their contexts. The data sources for this study were diaries. The diaries comprised of three major components. The first was an in-depth introduction of the mentor. Second, protégés reported the new learning as it related to the three concepts. Third, protégés conveyed their reflections of the experience. Two significant findings were revealed. First, the experience helped protégés to deconstruct OD. The deconstruction occurred via four strategies. Second, the protégés asserted confidence in their ability to pursue OD careers.
