The Mediating Role of Stress on the Relationship between Organizational Culture and Dysfunctional Attitudes: A Field Study

The main objective was to determine the correlation level of organizational culture of workers’ dysfunctional attitude and to research organizational stress’s mediating role in prediction. The sample consists of total 638 personnel in primary scholls in Kayseri (562 males and 76 females with an average age of 31-40). Demographic Information Form, dysfunctional attitude scale short form, organizational stress and culture scales were used. Mediating role was researched by structural equation modelling. School organizational culture statistically significantly predict worker’s dysfunctional attitudes and organizational stress. Organizational stress statistically significantly predicts school worker’s functional attitude. It is found that organizational stress has a partial mediating role in school organizational culture and school workers’ dysfunctional attitudes. It is thought that school organizational culture become prone to worker’s dysfunctional attitude through organizational stress. In addition to effect of school organizational culture, it is observed that changes occurring for organizational stress sources are important in terms of causing dysfunctional attitudes. It is thought that, in this regard, existing study provides beneficial information by dealing with school organizational culture, organizational stress and workers’ dysfunctional attitudes together, contributing to related literature and helping experts of this topic.
Michino et al. Respond to Drs. Mermin and Griffin

We wish to thank Drs. Mermin and Griffin for their thoughtful comments and suggestions (1) on our paper (2) describing investigation of the massive outbreak of Escherichia coli O157:H7 infection in the schoolchildren of Sakai City, Osaka, Japan. This incident gave us valuable experience not only in investigating a large-scale outbreak of infectious disease but also in coordi-nating an emergency control response. The Ministry of Health and Welfare announced the results of this investigation on August 7, 1996, after completion of the investigations of food distribution and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis patterns of E. coli O157:H7 from patients in a nursing home in Habikino City. It would have been difficult to derive useful results based only on a small initial case-control study by using a subset of cases and controls from the cohort. After the Ministry announcement, the shipment of white radish sprouts from the suspect farm had been stopped on the day when the investigation and guidance of the Osaka prefectural government ended. con-ducted Data

EXPANDED ROLE OF LMA IN MINOR OBSTETRIC PROCEDURE: A PROSPECTIVE STUDY

INTRODUCTION: The Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) has been used extensively to provide a safe airway in spontaneously breathing patients who are not at risk from aspiration of gastric contents. The increased risk of aspiration in Obstetric population was initially considered as a relative contra indication for LMA usage. But LMA proved to be safe in this subgroup and in fact significantly decreased tidal volume was noted during IPPV with a decreased the risk of aspiration. METHOD: This is a prospective study, performed in Niloufer Hospital for Children & Women from June 2011 - January 2014 over a period of 30months. We studied the ease of insertion of single use ILMA and associated complications in 35 ASA 1 obstetric patients. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 27.4 years. The mean BMI was 28.4 kg /m 2 . 21 patients were admitted for cerclage (60.0%), 5 Bartholin's abscess (14.28%), 6 cases of manual removal of placenta (17.14%), 3 cases of vescicular mole for evacuation (8.57%). The duration of anesthesia ranged from 20-40 min with a mean duration of 19 minutes. The first time insertion rate was 88.57%, 31 out of 35 patients had the LMA inserted in first attempt. 4 patients needed reinsertion. None of the patients had aspiration or other complications associated with LMA. There were no failed insertions. CONCLUSION: We conclude that the LMA is effective and safe for in carefully selected ASA 1 pregnant patients in the hands of experienced Anesthesiologist.
The Causal Effect of Income Growth on Consumer Social Responsibility

We investigate whether income growth causes an increased concern for mitigating negative externalities from consumption. We conduct laboratory market experiments in which firms and consumers can exchange products that differ in the degree to which they diminish negative external impacts at the expense of higher production costs. Our treatments exogenously vary consumers’ income. The data reveal that growth in consumer income causes an increase in the share of socially responsible consumption. Such a causal relationship is important from a policy perspective, as it implies that some negative external impacts of consumption activity can be mitigated as societies experience economic growth.
Learning Visually Grounded and Multilingual Representations

Children early on face the challenge of learning the meaning of words from noisy and ambiguous contexts. Utterances that guide their learning are emitted in complex scenes rendering the mapping between visual and linguistic cues difficult. A key challenge in computational modeling of the acquisition of word meanings is to provide representations of scenes that contain sources of information and statistical properties similar in complexity to natural data. We propose a novel computational model of cross-situational word learning that takes images of natural scenes paired with their descriptions as input and incrementally learns probabilistic associations between words and image features. Through a set of experiments we show that the model learns meaning representations that correlate with
Stereotyping and Power Relations A Phenomenological Reflection

ABSTRACT This research paper presents the use of phenomenology in critical reflection to elaborate on a lived experience. Phenomenology attempts to understand the ‘lived experience’ through the exploration of the underlying meaning of human behaviour. Answering questions such as how and why an experience is initially instigated and then engaged in are at the core of a phenomenological research. In this article, I reflect on a workplace experience and through phenomenology I expose issues such as stereotyping, power relations and ‘scapegoating’. It is also an attempt to understand phenomenology and how it is engaged in critical reflection to stimulate and support critical thinking and reflective learning.
Does Parental Financial Socialization for Emerging Adults Matter? The Case of Austrian and Slovene First-Year University Students

The study tested a model of first-year university students’ financial socialization focusing on parents as financial socialization agents and students’ present financial outcomes. Results from 395 Austrians (70% females) and 412 Slovenes (55% females) revealed significant pathways from recollected socialization experiences to students’ self-perceived financial learning outcomes (adopting parental role modeling and financial knowledge) and financial behavior control. Financial knowledge and behavioral control partly mediated the effect of prior socialization experiences on students’ financial behavior, financial relationship with parents, and financial satisfaction. Among country-specific pathways, adopting parental role modeling indirectly influenced financial outcomes in the Slovene students, whereas for the Austrian students, it was directly associated with better financial relationships with parents. Our findings on the pathways to healthy financial outcomes provide important suggestions to parents and emerging adult students.
Listening Strategies Used by Arabic Education Student Teachers: A Survey Study

The study aimed to explore the listening strategies used by Arabic education student teachers at one Indonesian Islamic university in Indonesia. The participants were students who were taking and passed in the listening subjects in the Arabic education study program. The total sampling was 564 participants. This study used a quantitative design with a survey approach. The researcher used SPSS to find out the reliability and to describe the percentage and frequency of the data. There were three categories of listening strategies. They were metacognitive, cognitive, and socio-affective strategies. The results showed that the most strategy used by the respondents was metacognitive strategy to increase their ability in listening. In addition, male students tended to use cognitive strategies, while female students focused more on metacognitive strategies in their listening activities. Students of higher institution could use the results of this study as a reference in understanding listening strategies.
The Associations between Parental Conflict, Attachment Anxiety, and Somatic Symptoms in Adult Children Affected by Parental Separation

ABSTRACT Using a sample of 210 college students affected by parental separation, this study investigated how perceived parental conflict and attachment anxiety jointly predicted somatic symptoms in adult children affected by parental separation. The participants responded to a computer-based survey assessing perceived parental conflict, attachment anxiety, and somatic symptoms. The results indicated that parental conflict was associated with attachment anxiety and somatic symptoms, and attachment anxiety was associated with somatic symptoms. Moreover, multivariate regression analysis showed a pattern of full mediation suggesting a pathway from parental conflict to somatic symptoms through the individual differences in attachment anxiety. Targeting anxious working models of attachment in children of parental separation may protect and minimize the vulnerability of developing somatic symptoms resulting from exposure to parental conflict.
Ureteral catheter placement for prevention of ureteral injury during laparoscopy in gynecology

Objective To investigate the prevention of ureteral injury by ureteral catheter placement in laparoscopy in depart-ment of Gynecology.Methods 27 patients who suffered from pelvic pathologic adhesion were enrolled,of which 15 patients used ureteral catheter before laparoscopic hysterectomy as study group and 12 patients underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy without ureteral catheter as control group.Results For the effective rate of avoiding ureter injury in study group was 100% and that in con-trol group was 91.67%,the difference between the two groups was significant(P0.05). The operative time of study group was short-er than control group in laparoscopical subtotal hysterectomy(LSH) and laparoscopical total hysterectomy(LTH)(P0.05). Conclusions It is safe to perform operation using ureteral catheter in LSH and LTH,it can also prevent ureter injury effecttively.
The Current Landscape of College-Sponsored Postgraduate Teaching and Learning Curriculum Programs

Objective. To describe the landscape of teaching and learning curriculum (TLC) programs sponsored by US schools and colleges of pharmacy and evaluate their adoption of best practice recommendations. Methods. A 28-item electronic survey instrument was developed based on best practice recommendations published by the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP), American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP), and American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP) for the conduct of TLC programs. The survey instrument was electronically distributed to 137 accredited colleges and schools of pharmacy in the United States. Results. Eighty-eight institutions responded, resulting in a response rate of 64%. Sixty-one TLC programs were included in the final analysis. Seventy-five percent of TLC programs reported using best practice recommendations; however, 10% of respondents indicated they were not aware of the published recommendations. Inconsistencies among programs were noted in required teaching experiences, participant evaluation, and ongoing programmatic assessment. Conclusion. Most institutions offering TLC programs are aware of published best practice guidelines and have adopted a majority of the published best practices. However, considerable variability exists across the country. Development of a formal external validation process for TLC programs is necessary to ensure consistent quality.
How to cope with stress? The stress-inducing cognitions of teacher trainees and resulting implications for teacher education

ABSTRACT The present study investigated stress-inducing cognitions of teacher trainees from different types of schools in Germany in order to identify a particular body of future teachers who lack appropriate coping strategies. Using cluster analysis, teacher trainees were classified by their dysfunctional thoughts, and, additionally, compared to their levels of self-efficacy and school type. In particular, the stress-inducing cognitions ‘internalisation of failure’ and ‘depreciation’ distinguished among the clusters. One cluster which was characterised by equally low levels of stress-inducing thoughts comprised many teacher trainees of special needs education. Another cluster showed consistently high levels of dysfunctional cognitions; therein, future teachers of primary education were overrepresented. Higher stress-inducing thoughts were linked to lower self-efficacy – with the exception of perfectionism which seemed to have adaptive or maladaptive effects. Based on the findings, preventive measures were derived to support teacher trainees in handling occupational stress as early as possible in the professional lives.
Bridging the Motives and Attractor States: How These Dynamics Go While Choosing the Elective English Course?

This study aimed at investigating and implementing the main triggers for enhancing the motivations of taking an elective English course within the sport college students. The researcher explored and analyzed these triggers as the motivational components under the attractor states. In order to observe the dynamics of these college students who have been regarded as unmotivated with the English courses, the researcher designed a semi-structure interview questions related to the motivational components and observed the process of students’ implementation, modification, and the relation with attractor states. This study covered Phase 1 for a think aloud question at the beginning of the semester which conducted to 65 sophomores (35 for PE students and 30 for Dance students). Phase 2 designed as three semi-structured interview questions for 10 PE sophomores and 10 dance sophomores. This interview conducted followed by the midterm presentation. Data analysis is under the discussion of attractor states (Waninge, 2015). This study demonstrates qualitative method to collect data. The qualitative data were collected through several techniques such as observations, reflections, and student interviews. From the findings, these teacher-specific motives trigger these students’ intention to make the decision. These students performed better motivation during the learning path till the midterm presentation. Both their English performance and learning motivation were significantly enhanced. Moreover, they had positive attitude toward learning English and they apparently recognized the value of the presentation. The results were shown in positive improvement in the motives with application of attractor states. Furthermore, a teacher-student relationship was built as one of the most precious fruits of the processes.

Finding an Effective Approach for Delivering IT Skills Training to Administrative Staff in An Irish University

The purpose of this study is to explore an effective approach to providing training in a new IT System to upwards of 300 administrative staff in an Irish University in a comparatively short space of time. The main questions this study sought to answer were: • What is an effective approach to take for providing IT Skills training to administrative university staff? • Can technology significantly improve the efficiency of delivering IT Skills training to administrative university staff? • What preferences do administrative university staff have for learning IT Skills? A review of the literature highlighted the role of experiential learning, social learning and technology-enabled learning in providing IT Skills training and the researcher explored how closely the findings from this mapped to the lived experiences of the administrative staff in the university in question. A mixed methods approach was used to collect both quantitative and qualitative data from the administrative staff using a sequential explanatory design involving an online survey and focus groups. The review of the literature also highlighted a gap in the discussion around the design and delivery of IT Skills training for administrative staff in Irish universities. This research sets out to fill that gap by discussing what an effective approach to IT Skills training might look like for those administrative university staff. The findings from the primary research strongly agreed with the review of the literature around the benefits of using experiential learning and social learning in IT Skills training but they were less definitive about the role of technology-enabled learning. The researcher recommends that using a careful blend of these methods could provide an effective approach to delivering IT Skills training to the administrative staff, but further research is warranted into the low uptake of technology-enabled learning reported in the primary data.
BETTER LEARNING THROUGH METACOGNITIVE MONITORING: DEVELOPING STUDENTS’ CRITICAL THINKING

Better level of students’ performing in university is closely related to the level of effort they put forth in their academic work. Many students do not always aware of the strategies of studying, thus depriving themselves of the opportunity to reason out their difficulties and discover their capabilities. The aim of the paper is to consider the notions “metacognitive monitoring” and “critical thinking” and to analyze the connection between metacognitive monitoring and students’ critical thinking. This article describes how students through metacognitive monitoring can acquire new habits of thoughts and qualities of mind which will enable them to become autonomous learners.
Career conversations with occupational therapists : capturing the qualities of narrative

Occupational therapists are known to use storytelling and storymaking in their clinical practice to assist people with disability to visualise and work towards a positive future which they, themselves, can construct. Little work seems to have been done using the same medium of storytelling with occupational therapists in order to explore aspects of their professional life, career and possible future. The aim of this study was thus to investigate the use of narrative in research and in occupational therapists' clinical practice, and to examine its potential for exploring occupational therapists' career stories.Qualitative research was undertaken drawing on the biographical tradition, life history research and narrative inquiry for its methodology. A total of seven taped interviews were recorded with die agreement of two female occupational therapists who had been in practice for a minimum of eight years. In conversation, they told the story of their entry to the profession and of the ups and downs of their career as an occupational therapist. Emotions such as pleasure and pain seemed to be experienced as their stories emerged.Their narratives produced rich data. Systematic analysis revealed characteristics of both the storytelling process and of the narrative itself. The nature of the occupational therapists' careers and the context in which they were played out became apparent. Despite there being only two participants, their stories illustrated how their work was strongly guided by their personal values. Their stories revealed that triumphs and setbacks at work could be experienced in different ways. Their reflective comments made during the storytelling process sometimes offered new insights into these experiences, so that telling the story became, for them, a way of reviewing the issues and seeing them in a new light.The findings also showed that the therapists' career could not easily be isolated from their home life. The two appeared to be inter-dependent, and in this study were perceived to be in balance. Both occupational therapists expressed satisfaction about their professional and personal life and, as a result, were unwilling to project too far into the future about how their career might develop. It was concluded that storytelling, and the reflection involved in producing the narrative, could assist a therapist to explore issues and dilemmas that occurred at work. The process of telling the story could help to redefine the situation in relation to the context in which it was occurring and could help to determine a satisfactory future course of action. It is possible that storytelling in a confidential relationship with another could assist the professional development, not only of occupational therapists but also of other health professionals. A forum, such as in a mentorship arrangement, could allow work-related issues, career options or opportunities to be explored for their costs and benefits and enable better informed career decisions to be made.
