Meta-Analysis about Effect of Aromatherapy on Stress

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of aromatherapy on stress using meta-analysis. Methods: Meta-analysis was done with 21 published studies, and data were analyzed with the SAS 9.1 program. Results: Fifty eight effect size was estimated with data from 21 published studies. Overall mean effect size (ES), and mean effect size of dependence variables according to the type of intervention and subject and according to the total amount of time spent in aromatherapy were estimated. Overall mean effect size of the effects of aromatherapy was . 593, and the subjective stress (.983) was most effective in the physiological faculty, followed by mean effect size of cortisol (.648) and pulse (.40). On the other hand, mean effect size of systolic blood pressure (.490) was moderate, and that of diastolic blood pressure (.401) was not large. Mean effect size of elderly (.706) cancer patients was considerable(.337). There were significant differences depending on the subjects. With regards to the types of aromatherapy, the effect size of aroma massage combined with inhalation therapy was . 590, and there were no significant differences between the intervention methods. With regards to the time of intervention, minutes spent in aromatherapy was . 730, and there were no significant differences between the times of intervention. The relationship between the effect size and intervention frequency was r=. 349 and showed significant difference. Conclusion: This result suggests that aromatherapy is an effective intervention to reduce stress for subjects. Nursing intervention protocol by using aromatherapy should be developed and applied in clinical and community settings. Further studies on the effects of aromatherapy on stress should be done by using meta-analysis.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and other mental disorders in the general population after Lorca’s earthquakes, 2011 (Murcia, Spain): A cross-sectional study The Harvard community has made this article openly available. Please share how this access benefits you. Your story matters

Aims To describe the prevalence and severity of mental disorders and to examine differences in risk among those with and without a lifetime history prior to a moderate magnitude earthquake that took place in Lorca (Murcia, Spain) at roughly the mid-point (on May 11, 2011) of the time interval in which a regional epidemiological survey was already being carried out (June 2010 –May 2012). The PEGASUS-Murcia project is a cross-sectional face-to-face interview survey of a representative sample of non-institutionalized adults in Murcia. Main outcome measures are prevalence and severity of anxiety, mood, impulse and substance disorders in the 12 months previous to the survey, assessed using the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI 3.0). Sociodemographic variables, prior history of any mental disorder and earthquake-related stressors were entered as independent variables in a logistic regression analysis.
Fitness, Adaptation, and Survival: The Role of Socio-Anthropic Characteristics, Personality, and Intelligence in Work Behavior

Many pioneers of modern psychology—Francis Galton, William James, William McDougall, G. Stanley Hall, Sigmund Freud—were enthusiastic Darwinians who believed the study of human behavior should begin with identifying the key biological tendencies underlying each behavior, tendencies that are themselves rooted in our evolutionary history as a species. Although many modern psychologists believe evolutionary psychology is largely speculative, we believe progress in understanding the behavior of people in organizations will require framing that behavior in an evolutionary context. In fact, we would argue that the workplace is often a compacted microculture wherein human behavior refl ects behavior from evolutionarily earlier social settings. The elements are similar between the modern workplace and ancient groups of people: a need to gather into packs for survival, competition within and between packs, threats from outside the organization, and a need for leadership for survival. When it comes to the workplace, then, it seems we are all animals, some of us more evolved than others. A study of the evolution of human society can illuminate many of our work-behavior tendencies and suggest how to survive and thrive. A review of the literature in sociology, anthropology, and primate fi eld research (Chapais 2008) reveals four broad themes running through every society, and these themes point to the existence of important in-
International harmonisation of accounting imperialism: An Australian perspective

Numerous authors, both practitioners and scholars, have constructed various justifications for the international harmonisation of accounting standards. To understand the motive behind establishing and implementing International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), this paper examined two reasons cited in the literature (reduction in cost of financial reporting and improvement in capital market efficiency) which argue for the setting of a global set of standards. This paper examined the constitution of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the relative positions of power of the member nations such as Australia, the EU and the US. The paper then analyses how IFRS help to expand imperialism. Subsequently, the post World War II imperialism of the US is examined to understand how the US can emerge as the most influential nation in setting globally enforced accounting standards.
F eb 2 02 0 MAXIMAL ACCELERATION GEOMETRIES AND SPACETIME CURVATURE BOUNDS

A geometric framework for metrics of maximal acceleration that extend to large proper accelerations is discussed, including a theory of connections associated with the geometry of maximal acceleration. In such a framework it is shown that the uniform bound on the proper maximal acceleration implies an uniform bound for certain bilinear combinations of the Riemannian curvature components in the domain of the spacetime where curvature is finite.

Effect of Land Use Zoning and Households Disaster Risk Management in Eldoret Town, Kenya

Zoning is a public sector planning tool used to influence the future spatial distribution of people and activities in spaces of various scales in order to improve the built, economic and social environments of communities. This study was done within Eldoret Town in Uasin Gishu County, Kenya. In Eldoret, developers and other human activities have encroached into roads, recreation sites, water overflow passageways, riparian areas and therefore extensive exposes the town households to disaster vulnerabilities/risks. This has interfered with the areas’ prepared plans resulting in congestion, insufficient clean water, overcrowding and lack of accessible roads which has led to full destruction of assets as well as deaths when fire occurs. The study was therefore aimed at determining the effect of Land Zoning on Household Disaster Risk Management in Eldoret Town. The study targeted households in Kamukunji, Langas, Kapsoya as well as Kapsaos of Eldoret Town. The study sampled an overall of five hundred and fifty respondents. Descriptive survey and purposive research designs were used. Data were collected using questionnaires, interviews and focus group discussions. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistic, regression and correlation tests. Land use Zoning (LUZ) had a combined influence of 73.0% on Household Disaster Risk Management (HDRM). Test results on the hypothesis indicated that there was a significant 70.9 positive relationship between LUZ and HDRM activity level. The study concluded that Land Use Zoning is useful when proposing and developing urban areas since LUZ has a significant positive influence on HDRM. The study recommended that the use of urban land use zoning as a way of enhancing management of household disaster risks.
WHO EMRO | Iranian public trust in health services: evidence from Tabriz, Islamic Republic of Iran

This study investigated public trust in health services in Tabriz, Islamic Republic of Iran. A cross-sectional household study was conducted in 2014, using random cluster sampling. A total of 1050 households were enrolled in the study and a valid questionnaire was used to collect data through interviews. The mean score for public trust in health services in Tabriz (out of 100) was 53.91 ± 13.7. People had most trust in professional expertise and lowest in macro-level policy. Specialists, pharmacy doctors and nurses were the health providers that enjoyed the highest levels of trust. It is concluded that public trust in health services in Tabriz is low and policy-makers need to employ appropriate policies to improve patients’ experience of health services.

The Antigen Presenting Cell Lectin-like Receptor gene Complex, APLEC, regulates susceptibility to oil induced arthritis

The natural killer cell gene complex (NKC) encodes receptors belonging to the C-type lectin superfamily expressed primarily by NK cells and other leukocytes. In the rat the chromosomal region which starts with the Nkrp1a locus and ends with the Ly49i8 locus, is predicted to contain 67 group V C-type lectin superfamily genes, making it one of the largest congregation of paralogous genes in vertebrates. Based on physical proximity and phylogenetic relationships between these genes, the rat NKC can be divided into four major parts. We have previously reported the cDNA cloning of the majority of the genes belonging to the centromeric Nkrp1/Clr cluster and the two telomeric groups, the Klre1 Klri2 and the Ly49 clusters. Here we close the gap between the Nkrp1/Clr and the Klre1 Klri2 clusters by presenting the cDNA-cloning and expression patterns of eight genes spanning from Cd69 to Dectin1, including the novel Clec2m gene. The definition, organization and evolution of the rat NKC are discussed.
Project-Based Learning with Student-Developed Models in the NGSS Curriculum

The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) were implemented scientific literacy, shifting the focus from teacher-centered to student-centered learning (NGSS Lead States, 2013). One result of this shift has been the increased use of project-based learning where learners can discover their own knowledge through a series of problem-solving tasks and projects. Student-developed models (i.e., three-dimensional models) is an application of projectbased learning that has Krajcik & Merritt, 2012). This study investigated the effectiveness of utilizing student-developed models among middle school students to create a deeper understanding of key concepts (i.e., analyzing and interpreting data, constructing explanations, and engaging in arguments from evidence) to improve scientific literacy. The study used a quantitative nonequivalent two-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design. The treatment group participated in designing, testing, and redesigning a student-developed model car made from various household materials. The control group participated in standard science instruction (i.e., laboratory experiments, online interactives, and note taking). After a Motion, the data was analyzed using independent and paired t-tests. The data concluded a statistically significant difference for the treatment group when compared to the control group. Future studies should measure motivation, as the engagement from the treatment group could have been a determining factor in the founding results.
Use of Titanium Complexes Bearing Diphenolate or Calix[n]arene Ligands in α-Olefin Polymerization and the ROP of Cyclic Esters

In this review, we discuss the use of titanium complexes bearing either bridged diphenolate or calix[n]arene (n = 4, 6, 8) ligation, in the formation of plastics from α-olefins or via the ring opening polymerization (ROP) of cyclic esters. The syntheses, molecular structures and catalytic behaviour of these systems are discussed, as well as where possible, the properties of the resultant polymers.
Finite element analysis of cast-in-situ RC frame corner joints under quasi-static and cyclic loading

DOI: 10.7764/RDLC.18. 3.579 Many types of computer software are currently available for the numerical modeling of monolithic RC structures; however, the accuracy of the numerical models created with the programs can only be acceptable by using a well-developed modeling method. We present the behavior of monolithic RC frame corners and beam to column joints for quasi-static and cyclic lateral loads, using numerical models created by our modeling method. Several laboratory experiments have already been carried out to investigate the failure of the joints and the behavior of these unique connections. In this paper, we made three-dimensional nonlinear FE body models with different reinforcement shapes, based on actual laboratory tests. We present the behavior of the joints in case of monotonic increasing quasi-static and cyclic changing loads. The results of laboratory experiments found in the literature and finite element calculations are compared and the conclusions that can be drawn from them are summarized within this article.
Kinglong capsules combined with interventional therapy for hepatocellular carcinomas:clinical observation

Objective To ohserve the prognosis of patients with primary hepatocellular carcinomas after receiving Kinglong capsules combined with interventional therapy or receiving simple interventional therapy,and to compare the therapeutic effectiveness of the two treatments.Methods A total of 151 cases with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma,who were encountered in authors' hospital during the period from January 2001 to December 2006,were enrolled in this study.The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. Of the total 151 patients,74 accepted Kinglong capsules combined with interventional therapy(study group) and 77 received simple interventional therapy(control group). The survival rate was calculated by Kaplan-Meier analysis,the median survival time was estimated by Log-Rank analysis,the incidence of complications was determined by Chi-Square analysis and the AFP level in serum was evaluated by t-test.Results The median survival time for the total 151 patients was 14 months.The median survival time was 18.5 months for patients in study group,and was 11.7 months for patients in control group.Log-Rank analysis indicated that the difference in the median survival time between the two groups was statistically significant(χ~2 = 5.48,P0.05). And significant differences in therapeutic effectiveness,living quality(KPS scores) and occurrence of side-effect also existed between the two groups(P0.05). Conclusion Kinglong capsules combined with interventional therapy is superior to simple interventional therapy in treating patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.
Influence of Family Ownership on Earnings Quality

Manuscript type: Research paper Research aims: This paper investigates how family ownership affects firm’s earnings quality. The focus is on firms listed on the Korean Stock Exchange (KSE). Design/Methodology/Approach: This study uses panel data to classify family ownership into two categories: pure family ownership and ownership-control disparity (wedge) where wedge is further divided into 1) wedge ratio and 2) wedge multiplier. In addressing the category of ownership-control disparity, it is important to measure how much control rights are greater than ownership rights. Therefore, this study employs the wedge multiplier to overcome the limitation of not separating management control and ownership. Firms’ earnings quality is tested by using four proxies proposed by Jonas and Blanchet (2000): 1) persistence, 2) value relevance, 3) conservatism, and 4) accruals quality. Research findings: This research finds family ownership to be positively associated with earnings quality, value-relevance and accruals quality. However, ownership-control disparity does not reduce the earnings quality. This finding is not consistent with previous studies. Thus, it is deduced that the controlling family shareholders of the chaebol firms have a dominant influence on firms which they invested in by using affiliated ownership. Significant ownership-control disparity is prevalent in chaebol firms, resulting in low earnings quality. Theoretical contribution/Originality: Family ownership is predominant in a number of countries, especially in East-Asian countries. In that regard, this study is important. It contributes to the understanding of family ownerships and firms’ earnings quality not only for the Korean contexts, but also for other East Asian countries. Research limitation/Implications: The four proxies of earnings quality used in this study do not necessarily reflect all aspects of the earnings quality. In this study, the results between family ownership and earnings quality are mixed. The results based on the association between corporate governance and earnings quality could be attributed to the way earnings quality is defined. The management of the chaebol firms or large business groups should try to improve transparency and the quality of their financial reporting.Keywords: Chaebol, Earnings Quality, Family Ownership, Panel Data, Wedge JEL Classification: G32, G34, M41

‘Professionalism’ in English as a Foreign Language Teachers’ Perspectives: A Qualitative Study in a Thai Context

This study presents the meanings, attributes, and roles of ‘professionalism’ synthesized from 20 Thai EFL teachers’ perspectives. Qualitative research methods were utilized to collect four sources of data including classroom observation transcripts, semi-structured interview transcripts, on-line discussion entries, and field-note recordings. The findings indicated that professionalism refers to the big picture of exemplar, effective teachers. Proficient English skills with an emphasis on oral communication, lesson planning abilities, lesson delivery skills, and commitment to successful student learning were believed to form professionalism which, also, plays multi-roles in teaching.
Lexical reciprocity vs. grammatical reciprocity: the case of Italian *

Cross-linguistically, two different strategies give rise to reciprocity. One strategy, lexical reciprocity, is due to the meaning of simple predicates that undergo the reciprocal alternation (Levin 1993). These predicates denote a mutual configuration in their intransitive entry (1a). 1 This strategy is not productive, as shown by (1b): English verbs may have a transitive entry but not a reciprocal intransitive entry.
Efficient Bailouts?

We develop a quantitative equilibrium model of financial crises to assess the interaction between ex-post interventions in credit markets and the buildup of risk ex ante. During a systemic crisis, bailouts relax balance sheet constraints and mitigate the severity of the recession. Ex ante, the anticipation of such bailouts leads to an increase in risk-taking, making the economy more vulnerable to a financial crisis. We find that moral hazard effects are limited if bailouts are systemic and broad-based. If bailouts are idiosyncratic and targeted, however, this makes the economy significantly more exposed to financial crises.
Correlation between water activity (aw) and microbial epiphytic communities associated with grapes berries

Grape berries host a complex microbial community that plays a predominant role in grape quality prior to harvest and in the winemaking process. Like other carpospheric habitats, the epiphytic microbial community of grape berries is influenced by several factors. Climate plays an essential role in grape composition and quality, and its impact on berry microbiota was recently demonstrated. However, there is still a lack of information about how environmental conditions influence the system in grape berries. In this study, the microbial communities of grape berries from two wine appellations characterized by specific climatological conditions were analyzed. The results revealed that the size of cultivable communities (bacteria, yeast and filamentous fungi) and the diversity and richness of the microbial community profiles were higher in vineyards found to have lower temperatures. The metabolic activity (Community-Level Physiological Profiles) of the epiphytic microbial community was lower in warm climates. Water activity (aw) had a positive effect on the cultivable population, on metabolic activity, and on microbial diversity. The results showed that the microclimate affects the microbial population associated with grape berries through the aw of grape skins.
