"Interpersonal emotion regulation and cognitive empathy as mediators between intrapersonal emotion regulation difficulties and couple satisfaction"

The role of intrapersonal emotion regulation in couple satisfaction is well known, while the interpersonal emotion regulation’s role has only scarcely been tackled. The few existing studies supported the role of interpersonal emotion regulation in couple, but no study has specifically assessed its effect on couple satisfaction. Likewise, it was found that cognitive empathy acts as a buffer between intrapersonal emotion regulation difficulties and hostility and positively correlates with couple satisfaction. However, no study investigated cognitive empathy as a mediator between intrapersonal emotion regulation and couple satisfaction. Moreover, no study assessed the mediator role of interpersonal emotion regulation between intrapersonal emotion regulation and couple satisfaction. Based on what was known, we took a step further, and, in line with our hypotheses, it was found that (1) interpersonal emotion regulation partially mediates the effect of intrapersonal emotion regulation difficulties on couple satisfaction. (2) Cognitive empathy partially mediates the effect of intrapersonal emotion regulation on couple satisfaction. Moreover, (3) interpersonal emotion regulation and cognitive empathy sequentially mediate the effect of intrapersonal emotion regulation difficulties on couple satisfaction. Furthermore, the implications and limits of the present study are discussed and some directions for future studies are suggested.
ANALYSIS OF THE ATTITUDES AND APPROACHES OF THE PHYSIOTHERAPY AND REHABILITATION STUDENTS TOWARDS THE ELDERLY

Introduction: Turkey is the second most rapidly aging country in the world which requires reconsideration of planning and healthcare services related to the health state of the older people. For qualified healthcare services, positive attitudes and behaviours of health professionals (physicians, nurses, physiotherapists etc.) towards older people beginning from the undergraduate period carry utmost importance. The aim of this study was to determine the attitudes and behaviour of physiotherapy students training in different regions of Turkey towards older people. Materials and Method: Attitudes and behaviour of 1270 students towards older people were evaluated using the Turkish version of the UCLA-GA scale. Results: Mean UCLA-GA score was 48.18 ± 5.67. Female students demonstrated a more positive attitude and behaviour towards older people than male students. Positive attitude and behaviours towards older people were stronger in students who were living with an older individual, in those who wanted to live with his/her older relative/intimate, who visited nursing homes, who wanted to work in the field of geriatrics after they graduate, and in those who attended courses or any meeting organised during their training period. Conclusion: The attitudes and behaviour of physiotherapy students towards older people can change dependent on various factors including gender of the students, whether they want to work in the field of geriatric rehabilitation during their postgraduate period, have attended training, course or meetings during their undergraduate education, visited nursing homes, or want to live with an old individual.
A Study of Morbidity Pattern in Indoor Patients in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Lucknow

Introduction-Health statistics decide the foundation and course of health policies and programs. Indicators such as the Birth Rate, Death Rate, Life Expectancy at Birth, Morbidity/Mortality patterns etc. reveal the extent and nature of the health problems in the community and thus assists in establishment of the priorities for policy planning and implementation. The present study is being done to assess the morbidity pattern in indoor patients in a tertiary care hospital.
Geographic distribution of breast cancer incidence in Iran

Background: A geographic disparity for breast cancer (BC) incidence by provinces is introduced in Iran. Present study aimed to clarify the geographic disparity of BC incidence after considering the age and gender. Methods: In this ecological study data about BC incidence extracted from reports of national registry of cancer (NCR), and Disease Control and Prevention in 2008. BC incidence mapping was conducted in geographic information system (GIS). Results: The results were consistent with previous reports but extend the previous knowledge with regarding the age and gender. Highest age specific rates (ASRs) of BC occurred in the provinces located in Central and Northern of Iran. Tehran and Sistan & Balochestan had highest and lowest ASR for male BC and female BC respectively. Conclusion: given that BC occurs more in Central and Northern provinces that are mainly with high socioeconomic status (SES) levels, so it is suggested that disparity in BC incidence can be reduced through planning special programs such as education, screening, and preventive policy in provinces with high priorities.
Creating News Literacy Messages to Enhance Expert Corrections of Misinformation on Twitter

A number of solutions have been proposed to address concerns about misinformation online, including encouraging experts to engage in corrections of misinformation being shared and improving media literacy among the American public. This study combines these approaches to examine whether news literacy (NL) messages on social media enhance the effectiveness of expert correction of misinformation on Twitter. Two experiments suggest that expert organizations can successfully correct misinformation on social media across two controversial issues with a single tweet. However, three different NL messages did not improve the effectiveness of expert corrections. We discuss the difficulties of crafting NL messages that break through the clutter on social media and suggest guidelines for organizations attempting to address misinformation online.
Factors Associated with Tendency for Weight Loss in a Representative Sample of Children and Adolescents: The CASPIAN-V Study

Background: This study aims to determine the factors affecting the tendency to lose weight (TLW) and its methods in Iranian children and adolescents. Methods: In this cross-sectional nationwide study 14800 students, aged 7–18 years, living in 30 provinces of Iran were selected via multistage cluster random sampling method. The dietary and physical activity habits and TLW as well as psychosocial health status, anxiety, self-satisfaction, and change in dietary behaviors were assessed by the global school-based student health survey (WHO-GSHS) questionnaire. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to identify factors influencing TLW. Results: Overall, 14274 students (participation rate of 99%), consisting of 51% boys and 71.4% urban residents, completed the study. Of them, 37.7% (51.4% Girls and 48.6% boys) tended to lose weight. In multivariate model, the odds for TLW was 12% higher in students aged 13–18 years than those aged 6–12 years (OR = 1.12, 95% CI: 1.02 to 1.23; P < 0.001). Students with high anxiety level were 43% more likely to have TLW (OR = 1.43, 95% CI: 1.28–1.59; P < 0.001). The odds of increasing physical activity for weight loss was 22% lower in obese than in normal weight students (OR = 0.78, 95% CI: 0.66 to 0.93; P < 0.001). Conclusions: TLW was significantly higher in girls, as well as in those with higher anxiety level. In addition to dietary change, increasing physical activity should be encouraged among children and adolescents with excess weight. Public education regarding proper lifestyle change for reaching healthy weight should be underscored.
How urban densification influences ecosystem services—a comparison between a temperate and a tropical city

Large scale and rapid urbanization processes call for a better quality of urban planning to support human well-being. While compact cities aim to reduce land consumption, densification puts pressure on the remaining green areas, influencing ecosystem services provision and ultimately the life quality of the growing urban population. Supply of and demand for urban ecosystem services differ however greatly across the globe. In this study, we derive a set of urban typologies and their related ecosystem services bundles in both a temperate and a tropical city. We show that the supply of urban ecosystem services does not increase linearly with green area coverage, but is highly dependent on the urban form. While the surface sealed by infrastructures and the buildings themselves play a key role in influencing ecosystem services provision, we observe that the share of trees is particularly important for supporting regulating ecosystem services in built up neighborhoods. With a similar average surface-to-volume ratio, open midrise neighborhoods in Singapore provide more water flow regulation and air pollution control services than the same urban typology in Zurich. Microclimate regulation, in contrast, does not seem to be dependent on the context, but more on the amount of built up surface. Interestingly, we observe that open midrise neighborhoods synergistically support the supply of many regulating services in both case study areas, including microclimate regulation, water flow regulation and air pollution control. Large water and forest patches are unquestionably essential in both Singapore and Zurich to support bundles of ecosystem services, particularly also for recreational activities. Using open data, the approach can be transferred to other cities and support decision makers in their efforts to plan the sustainable development of cities across the world.
Do Places of Delivery Have Contextual Effect on the Perceived Quality of Intrapartum and Postpartum Services? A Multilevel Evidence from Kebumen, Central Java

Background: The maternal mortality rate (MMR) in Indonesia in 2015 was 305 per 100,000 live births. The majority of maternal deaths occur during labor and the puerperium. Increasing access to health services is not enough so that attention is more focused on the quality of services pro­vided. This study aimed to determine the determinants of the quality of childbirth and childbirth by midwives in Kebumen Regency. Subjects and Method: This study was a cross sectional study at 25 health facilities in Kebumen, Central Java, and was conducted during September-October 2019. The study sample consisted of 200 women giving birth and childbirth selected using the proportionate stratified sampling tech­nique. The dependent variable was the quality of childbirth and childbirth services. The inde­pen­dent variables were age, parity, education, occupation, family income, and type of financing. The data collection was performed using a questionnaire and the data analysis was performed using multilevel multiple linear regression with Stata 13. Results: The quality of childbirth and childbirth services increased with maternal age 34 years (b= 1.89; 95% CI = 0.48 to 3.31; p = 0.009), multiparaous (b = 2.20; 95% CI = 0.78 to 3.63; p = 0.002), and type JKN financing (b = 0.27; 95% CI = -0.94 to 1.47; p = 0.659). The quality of childbirth and childbirth services decreased with the education of high education (b= -0.87; 95% CI = -2.02 to 0.28; p= 0.139), working outside the home (b= -1.28; 95% CI= -2.64 to 0.08; p= 0.065), and family income of Rp 1,686,000 (b= -1.85; 95% CI= -3.24 to -0.47; p= 0.009). There was a con­textual influence of the place of delivery and postpartum on the quality of services received by mothers with ICC= 51.26%. Conclusion: The quality of childbirth and childbirth services has improved with the age of 34, multiparous, and JKN types of financing. The quality of childbirth and childbirth services declined with the education of mothers who were high school graduates, working outside the home, and family income of Rp1,686,000. There is a contextual influence of the place of delivery and postpartum on the quality of service received by the mother.

Survival outcome of neonates admitted at government and private neonatal intensive care units of Allahabad, India

Background: The early neonatal period (birth to 7 days of life) is the most critical period of life. Usually, the lower the infant mortality, the greater of it is concentrated in neonatal period. The present study was carried out with the objectives to study the profile of sick neonates & compare their survival outcome admitted in Government and Private NICUs of Allahabad. Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted in the NICUs of Government & Private sector of comparable admission rates in Allahabad. The study was time bound conducted from September 2015-August 2016. The data were collected from the medical records of the admitted neonates. Results: There were a total of 1442 neonates admitted during the given time frame in both the Government and Private NICUs and 1409 were included in the study. The Government NICU had 63.21% admissions within 24 hour of birth more than Private NICUs (55.03%). The Private NICU had 36.58% neonates admitted within 1-7 day while Government sector had 29.88%. The Government NICU had 69.01% rural patients while Private NICU had 67.98% urban patients. The Government NICU received 57.63% outborn babies while Private NICU had more inborn babies (67.22%). The profile of sick neonates according to age at the time of admission, mode of admission and community in Government and Private NICUs differed significantly (p<0.05) while gender, gestational age and weight were not significantly different. Conclusions: The Government NICU had a survival outcome of 70.91% while Private NICU had 86.73% which was statistically significant.
A Longitudinal Evidence-Based Medicine Curriculum and Its Impact on the Attitudes and Perceptions of Student Pharmacists

Objective. To describe a longitudinal evidence-based medicine (EBM) curriculum and to evaluate its impact on the attitudes and perceptions of student pharmacists toward EBM. Methods. Western University of Health Sciences has had a structured, longitudinal, EBM curriculum for more than 10 years, spanning the first to third years, including the introductory experiential experiences. A survey was administered prior to the main EBM course and at the completion of the course at three time periods to assess student pharmacists’ attitudes and perceptions of EBM and interactive pedagogical methods. Student pharmacists at Western University of Health Sciences voluntarily participated in the self-administered survey. The three time periods examined included: directly after completion of the EBM course, after completion of the didactic curriculum, and after completion of the advanced pharmacy practice experiences (APPE). Results. The response rates were: pre-survey 94% and post-survey 53%. The three classes surveyed had similar baseline characteristics. Students’ perceptions of EBM skills and attitudes improved at all time periods post-course. Students felt strongly both before and after exposure to the EBM course and the longitudinal EBM curriculum about learning new EBM skills and that all pharmacists should have these skills. Significantly more students appreciated all the interactive pedagogical methods after APPE completion (>85% of students), as compared with over 74% of students directly after the EBM course, and over 79% of students after didactic completion. Conclusion. The attitudes and perceptions of student pharmacists toward EBM improved after exposure to a longitudinal EBM curriculum.
Knowledge, attitudes and practices of food hygiene among mobile food vendors in a Nigerian rural settlement

It is estimated that 40% of the Urban population in the developing world eat street foods because it is cheap. An estimated 2.5 billion people patronize mobile food vendors worldwide. 1 It is also a major source of income to the vendors, especially women, requiring low capital investment. 2 Most vendors however have little or no formal education, which makes them unable to appreciate the most critical food handling practices. 3,4 Consumers have thus borne the consequences when food is unsafe. The extent of the problem is difficult to estimate particularly in developing countries but given that in excess of 2million people, mostly children, die from diarrhoea each year, a great proportion of these cases can be attributed to the contamination of food as well as drinking water. 5 Although street food has become an indispensable part of both urban and rural diets, some public health risks are associated with the consumption of street food in developing countries. 6-9 While it is expected that street foods meet the nutritional requirements of consumers, it is also necessary to ensure its safety from contaminants and micro-organisms. ABSTRACT
Are Crowded Crowds Still Wise? Evidence from Financial Analysts' Geographic Diversity

We study the effect of geographically diverse information on sell-side research analysts’ individual and consensus forecasts. Using data from satellite images of parking lots of US retailers, we first document that the car counts contain valuable information in aggregate. However, analysts tend to overweight their own forecast in the direction of local car counts relative to other analysts covering the same firm at the same time but in different locations. We find when firms have more geographically concentrated analyst coverage the consensus forecast error is higher, even after controlling for the number of analysts. Analyses using within-firm variation and exogenous shocks in geographic coverage due to brokerage closures suggest this relation is causal.
Knowledge, attitude and intention towards nursing profession among pre-clinical students

Context: In Saudi Arabia, there is still an insufficient supply of nursing graduates to meet the growing demand for nurses to provide patient care. Aims: The aim of this study was to further investigate on the knowledge, attitude and intention towards nursing profession among pre-clinical students. Settings and Design: A descriptive-correlational design was used in this study with a total of 128 pre-clinical male and female students from a nursing school in Riyadh. Subjects and Methods: Data were obtained using an adopted survey instrument for describing the knowledge, attitude and intention among the participants. In the last two parts of the instrument, the participants answered the questions using 5-point Likert scale. Statistical Analysis Used: Data were analysed using SPSS version 20.0. Descriptive statistics was utilised to describe the variables and Chi-square to show correlation between variables. Results: In general, the participants had good knowledge of the nursing profession and a majority of the students disagreed that nursing is a job for females only. However, about 60% of the participants were not interested to study nursing. Conclusions: The findings concluded that working with the opposite sex and people not respecting the nursing profession were found to have the highest influence in preventing the students from becoming a nurse. Moreover, positive attitude towards nursing would significantly result in students becoming more interested to the profession.
How does capital flows affect the impact of trade on economic growth in Africa?

ABSTRACT The paper empirically examines the extent to which different forms of capital flows (foreign direct investment [FDI], remittances, foreign aid and external debt) affect the impact of trade (exports) on economic growth in Africa. We do this with the aid of an augmented endogenous growth model which we estimate by dynamic system GMM technique with endogeneity-expunging efficiency. First, we find that whilst the direct impact of trade (exports) has been crucial in driving economic growth in Africa in both the short- and long-run, capital flows (FDI, remittances, foreign aid and external debt) do not. Second, our results clearly show that, in both the short- and long-run, inflows of FDI and remittances serve as important channels through which trade (exports) has its largest impact on economic growth while inflows of foreign aid and external debt do not. Following these outcomes, we conclude that policies aimed at attracting FDI and remittances to African countries are what policy reforms should target. Further, our findings suggest that moderating the inflow of external debt and foreign aid could be beneficial to the effect of trade (exports) on economic growth.
A Study on the Operational Condition of a Ground Source Heat Pump in Bangkok Based on a Field Experiment and Simulation

The deployment of highly efficient cooling equipment is expected to promote energy savings and greenhouse gas emissions reductions in the tropics. A ground source heat pump (GSHP) has high energy-savings potential for use in Bangkok, Thailand. This study aimed to elucidate the operational conditions of a GSHP when used in Bangkok which was expected to achieve a higher efficiency than an air source heat pump (ASHP) over the long term. An operational experiment on a pilot facility in Bangkok and a simulation over a three-year GSHP operation were conducted. As a result of the operational experiment and simulation, the proposed operational condition was that the 90th percentile value of the hourly heat pump (HP) inlet temperature did not exceed 5 °C above that of the hourly annual ambient temperature during the third year of operation. When a GSHP designed based on this condition was utilized for a small government building, the required number of boreholes were 24, 4, and 3 for air-conditioned areas of 200, 40, and 25 m2, respectively, which achieved 40% energy savings. Thus, a small-scale GSHP in Bangkok designed based on the proposed condition can achieve high efficiency within space limitations.
Drug-Resistant HIV-1 RT Gene Mutations in Patients under Treatment with Antiretroviral Drugs (HAART) in Iran

Background and Objective: Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy ( HAART) can effectively prevent the progression of HIV-1 replication and increase life expectancy. There are numerous causes of treatment failure and the leading one is drug resistance. Thus, we aimed to determine the HIV RT gene drug resistance mutations in patients treated with antiretroviral medications. Material and Methods : In this cross - sectional study, venous blood was taken from 130 HIV-positive patients treated with antiretroviral medications. In order to determine drug resistance mutations, RT-PCR and PCR steps were performed using RT gene specific primers. Subtypes and mutations in the virus genome were determined using the Stanford HIV drug resistance sequence database. Results: In 122 treating patients, most of the major mutations were associated with nucleoside and non-nucleoside drugs. subtype A in 66.4%, subtype D in 26.2% and subtype B in 7.4% of the participants were reported. They were resistant to Nucleoside RT Inhibitor drugs (23.7%) and Non-Nucleoside RT Inhibitor drugs(30.3%). The highest were related to Nevirapine (21.3%) and Efavirenz (19.7%) and the lowest to both Tenofovir and Zidovudine (91.5%). Conclusion: The use of two nucleoside RT inhibitor drugs combined with one protease inhibitor drug could be effective in the treatment of HAART.
Dynamic Contract and Discretionary Termination Policy Under Loss Aversion

Abstract We explore how the timings of compensation payments and contract terminations are jointly determined in a continuous-time principal–agent model under the discretionary termination policy of investors (the principal) when the manager (agent) has loss–averse preferences. Our theoretical findings provide several new empirical implications for backloaded compensation and forced managerial turnover. Our model also shows that mandatory deferral regulation governing incentive pay induces investors to terminate the contract relation earlier and results in the more frequent replacement of managers.
