The Views and Experiences of Fathers of Children with Intellectual Disabilities: A Systematic Review of the International Evidence

As a result of societal changes and expectations, mothers have returned to paid employment, with fathers now more involved in the daily lives of their children with and without disabilities. Globally, fathers are providing more care for their children with intellectual disabilities (ID), a role traditionally expected of mothers. The research interest in the role of fathers in the lives of their child with ID is growing, yet much of the wider evidence has focused on the views and experiences of mothers as care givers. The aim of this systematic review was to identify the views and experiences of fathers parenting children with ID. A total of 14 studies were included in the review. Four themes were identified including emotional impact, mental health and coping, systems of support and hopes and fears. There is a need for further research on the needs of fathers and how they can be supported to play a fuller role in the lives of their child with ID. Implications for policy, practice and future research are also discussed.
Syrian Civil War’s effects on Turkish school children: prevalence and predictors of psychopathology*

ABSTRACT Objectives: The Syrian Civil War forced millions into asylum in neighbouring countries. Refugees/asylum seekers have elevated risk for psychopathology with the most important being post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Subjective experiences and symptoms of the hosting populations which have also experienced similar traumas have received relatively little attention up to now. We aimed to evaluate the effects of Syrian Civil War in terms of psychopathology, traumatic experiences and PTSD on Turkish primary school students living in Suruç which is on the border with Syria and hosts a large population of asylum seekers. Methods: Two randomly selected schools operating in the district were included in the study. Sociodemographic Data forms, Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL), Children’s Post-traumatic Reaction Index (CPRI) were used for evaluations. Data were analysed with SPSS 23.0. P was set at 0.05 (two-tailed). Results: Most common traumatic experiences via parental report were witnessing explosions (26.9%), witnessing injuries of extended family/relatives (21.8%) and witnessing deaths of acquaintances (17.9%). Lifetime traumatic events and lifetime self-injurious behaviour in children via parental report were 26.9% and 19.9%; respectively. Of 156 students (53.2% male) with a mean age of 8.8 years (S.D. = 1.3), 13.5% obtained externalizing scores, 11.0% obtained internalizing scores and 13.5% obtained total scores in the clinical range of CBCL. 98.7% reported PTSD symptoms in moderate and above severity in CPRI. Most common traumatic experiences reported by children included hearing explosions/gunshots (17.3%), damage to residences (17.3%), and witnessing deaths of extended family/ acquaintances (12.8%). Female gender (p = .00), witnessing loss of family members/acquaintances in Syrian Civil War (p = .01) and clinically significant PTSD symptoms in CPRI. Conclusion: Children in communities hosting Syrian refugees/asylum seekers may also have elevated symptoms of PTSD and female gender may be a risk factor for those symptoms.
Exposure to Wartime Trauma Decreases Positive Emotions and Altruism Toward Rival Out-Groups (But Not Nonrival Out-Groups): A Survey Experiment in a Field Setting Among Syrian Refugees

A survey experiment, carried out in a field setting among Sunni Arab Syrian refugees (N = 2,479), examined the effect of exposure to wartime trauma, ethnoreligious group affiliation, and degree of hostility of intergroup relations on altruism and positive emotional regard. The results showed that in-group targets were met with more positive emotional regard and altruism than relatively neutral out-group targets, which in turn were met with more positive emotional regard and altruism than individuals from a hostile out-group. These tendencies were elevated among participants with a high degree of exposure to wartime trauma. Emotions mediated the effect of ethnoreligious group affiliation on altruism, and this mediating effect was moderated by exposure to wartime trauma.
Mindfulness, Smoking Intention, and Nicotine Dependence Among Buddhist Ethnic Minority Adolescents in China

Abstract This study investigates smoking intention, nicotine dependence, and mindfulness among Dai Lue adolescents (N = 1322, ages = 14–18), an understudied Buddhist ethnic minority in China. Based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), mindfulness showed a negative association with smoking intention. However, for participants with nicotine dependence, the mindfulness-intention association diminished, while volitional processes remained salient. Results from this study contribute to debates in the literature regarding habit versus planned behavior, and provide empirical support for integrating mindfulness into the TPB. The cognitive pathways identified could be targeted in anti-smoking interventions to curb the high prevalence of smoking among Dai Lue adolescents.

Mobility and affect in the #deleteuber mo(ve)ment

This study examines the material, spatial, and temporal implications of mobility discourses in the viral #deleteuber hashtag and the affective public that emerged in response to the Trump administration’s so-called ‘Muslim ban’ in January 2017. A thematic analysis of 3611 tweets suggested that the hashtag produced various mobility discourses debated among an affective public disgusted at the company’s actions or the call to action implied by the hashtag. These discourses were framed by the spatial qualities of mobility discourses and this moment of halted movement, the timing of this hashtag and hashtivism generally, and #deleteuber’s material, real-world implications. Our research reveals how mobility discourses can be used to understand mobility topics beyond transportation, and it provides a glimpse into the consciousness of some social media users reeling from significant political change.
VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY STUDY OF THE ATTITUDE TOWARDS FOREIGNERS SCALE

While it is obvious that the teachers who play an important role in the socialization process of the students are one of the most important actors in the adaptation of international students, there is a need for a measurement tool that demonstrates how they perceive the foreigners. Following this need, the “attitude towards foreigners scale” was developed to determine the teachers' perspectives on foreigners and validity and reliability studies were conducted. The study group of the research consists of 535 teachers working in Pendik District of Istanbul in the 2018-2019 academic year. In the process that started with 42 nominated items, the number of items was reduced to 29 after receiving expert opinions. Afterward, as a result of the EFA conducted by applying these 29 items to 290 teachers, the 29-item draft scale was put into final form with the application of exploratory factor analysis as a single-factor structure with 18 items and this structure was tested using confirmatory factor analysis. The single-factor scale with 18-items explains 51.863 of the total variance. The Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient of the scale was calculated as . 962. Even though the scale was formed by taking the opinions of teachers into consideration, it may also be used for different groups.
Facilitators and barriers to autonomy: a systematic literature review for older adults with physical impairments, living in residential care facilities

Abstract Autonomy is important in every stage of life. However, little is known about how autonomy is enhanced for older adults living in residential care facilities (RCFs). This leads to the research question: which facilitators and barriers to autonomy of older adults with physical impairments due to ageing and chronic health conditions living in RCFs are known? The results will be organised according to the framework of person-centred practice, because this is related to autonomy enhancement. To answer the research question, a systematic literature search and review was performed in the electronic databases CINAHL, PsycINFO, PubMed, Social Services Abstracts and Sociological Abstracts. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were derived from the research question. Selected articles were analysed and assessed on quality using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Facilitators and barriers for autonomy were found and arranged in four themes: characteristics of residents, prerequisites of professional care-givers, care processes between resident and care-giver, and environment of care. The established facilitators and barriers are relational and dynamic. For a better understanding of the facilitators and barriers to autonomy for older adults with physical impairments living in RCFs, a description is based on the 35 included articles. Autonomy is a capacity to influence the environment and make decisions irrespective of having executional autonomy, to live the kind of life someone desires to live in the face of diminishing social, physical and/or cognitive resources and dependency, and it develops in relationships. The results provide an actual overview and lead to a better understanding of barriers and facilitators for the autonomy of older adults with physical impairments in RCFs. For both residents and care-givers, results offer possibilities to sustain and reinforce autonomy. Scientifically, the study creates new knowledge on factors that influence autonomy, which can be used to enhance autonomy.
Perfiles Diferenciales de Usuarios de Internet, Factores de Personalidad, Rasgos Positivos, Síntomas Psicopatológicos y Satisfacción com la Vida

espanolEsta investigacion tuvo como objetivo identificar diferentes perfiles de usuarios de Internet y redes sociales, considerando variables relacionadas con el uso, aspectos sociodemograficos y psicologicos. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 1248 sujetos del area metropolitana de Buenos Aires, Argentina (620 hombres, 628 mujeres); edad promedio: 39.41 anos (DE=14.38). Para la recopilacion de datos, esta investigacion utilizo: Big Five Inventory, High Five Inventory, Symptom Checklist-90-R, Satisfaction with Life Scale y una encuesta disenada ad-hoc para evaluar los diferentes usos que las personas hacen de Internet y, en especial de las redes sociales. Se generaron diferentes perfiles que muestran que el intenso uso de Internet – especialmente de las redes sociales- generan una disminucion en los niveles de satisfaccion con la vida y un aumento de sintomas psicopatologicos. La extraversion, la jovialidad y la baja responsabilidad parecen ser factores determinantes en las preferencias por el uso de las redes sociales. EnglishThis research aimed to identify different profiles of Internet and Social Networks users, considering variables linked with use, sociodemographic and psychological aspects. The sample consisted of 1248 subjects from the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires, Argentina (620 men, 628 women); average age: 39.41 years (SD=14.38). For data collection this research used: Big Five Inventory, High Five Inventory, Symptom Checklist–90–R, Satisfaction with Life Scale, and a survey designed ad-hoc to assess peoples’ different uses of the Internet and of social networks in particular. Different profiles were generated which show that intense Internet use of social networks in particular generate a decrease in life satisfaction levels and an increase in psychopathological symptoms. Extraversion, joviality and low responsibility seem to be determining factors in preferences for the use of social networks.
Keeping the human in the data scientist: Shaping human‐centered data science education

Human‐centered approaches are still relatively novel for data science practice, where data‐driven analytics are often framed as ways to supersede human judgments. This poster presents core design principles devised by the authors to build a data science curriculum foregrounding ethics and valuing creative human capacities alongside strong data analytic skills. The curriculum design transforms human‐centered principles into practice. The poster visually illustrates the trajectory of these principles in relation to three specific graduate attributes, using a selection of deep dives into the learning design. To illustrate the specific power information theory and practice has to shape data science training, the poster uses evocative quotes from information science theorists and displays how their work significantly influenced the overall philosophy of the program, student activities and assessments. Using ‘gamestorming’ techniques during the poster session, the audience is invited to contribute further insights about ways to nurture the deeply human capacities of the data scientists we train.
Ready to be distracted: Further evidence that the alerting-congruency interaction requires stimulus-response directional associations

ABSTRACT Previous research has found a greater congruency effect when participants are alerted in the Attention Network Test relative to situations where participants are not alerted. However, the interaction between alerting and congruency that has been reported with arrow stimuli as well as in the Simon task does not generalize to the Stroop task (Schneider, 2019). To test the hypothesis that the interaction between alerting and congruency requires pre-existing directional associations, Experiment 1 (N = 40) used numeric stimuli since numbers are associated with spatial directions (i.e., the SNARC effect; spatial-numerical association of response codes). Results show the typical interaction between congruency and alerting. Experiment 2 (N = 40) further tested this by replacing numeric stimuli with characters that do not have directional associations and the interaction disappeared. Together these data support the proposal that alerting boosts stimulus processing, which facilitates responses to the target, but also enhances stimulus-response directional associations, which magnifies effects of the distractors.
The influence of extrinsic and intrinsic variables on children’s reading frequency and attitudes: An exploration using an artificial neural network

Children’s attitudes towards, and frequency of recreational reading influence their reading skill level. The aim of this study was to determine the relative influence of research-supported intrinsic and extrinsic variables that can shape this attitude and practice, and to investigate the use of artificial neural network as an adjunct approach in such analysis. Data from 997 Australian students in primary Years 4 and 6 were analysed to examine the influence of 10 variables on reading frequency and attitudes. Data were subject to analysis using artificial neural network, binomial logistic regression and linear regression. The results from the three methods of analysis indicate that library visitation, perception of importance and early literacy are the top three ranked variables in artificial neural network, with all three also significant (p < .001) in binomial logistic regression and linear regression. Providing students regular opportunity for library visitation may be a valuable intervention for educators and parents seeking to enhance children’s reading frequency and attitudes.
Quality Enhancement Plans at Community Colleges: Caring Attitudes, Intentional Advising, and Open Communication

In 2004 the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools – Commission on Colleges, (SACSCOC) started requiring a Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) as part of the decennial reaffirmation process. Since 2004, over one billion dollars have been spent by the 794 accredited SACSCOC institutions completing their QEPs. Fifth-Year Impact Reports must be completed by the institution at the end of the QEP as part of the Fifth-Year Compliance Report. Once that report is accepted by SACSCOC, no additional reporting on the QEP is required. This study looked at six Track A, Level I institutions in five states that started a QEP with academic advising as a focus between 2008 and 2012. The research question for this study looked at the reasons the 17 student learning outcomes at the six institutions in this study were continued or discontinued after the Fifth-Year Impact Report. Three themes emerged in this study from the review of the results from the electronic pre-visit surveys, in-person interviews conducted with 21 faculty, 21 administrators, 13 staff, and three QEP directors in spring 2019, and the FifthYear Impact Reports. The themes developed were institutions started to look at the student experience from a holistic viewpoint, the advising processes were made more intentional, and more open methods of communication were created. Findings from this study showed the 17 student learning outcomes at the six institutions became integral parts of the fabric and culture at each institution.
Mentorship of hospitality management students during work-integrated learning

Work integrated learning (WIL) with specific reference to students in the field of hospitality management, is an essential component of the diploma courses offered at the Cape Town Hotel School, a department at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology. Industry mentors responsible for students on WIL programs must understand the significance of student mentorship and guidance, and the impact this can make on the trainee. The literature review highlights the definition of mentorship in the workplace, its importance, and suggestions on what constitutes best practice in the field of mentorship of WIL students. Surveys were conducted among students and industry members and results used to ascertain whether students found the industry mentorship beneficial. On the basis of this investigation, solutions were sought to assist in eliminating problems so far specified and to make recommendations for future study to ensure improvement in the quality of students' experiences whilst on WIL programs.
The Los Angeles Family and Neighborhood Survey: Neighborhood Observation Forms and Interviewer Manual

PREFACE The Los Angeles Family and Neighborhood Survey (L.A.FANS) is a longitudinal study of families in Los Angeles County and of the neighborhoods in which they live. This document presents the forms and interviewer instruction manual for neighborhood observations that were conducted as part of L.A. FANS. Observations were completed for 422 sampled blocks, which were located across the 65 L.A. FANS tracts. Separate observation forms were completed for each block face. The number of block faces per block varied between 2 and 23, with a mean of 4.6. A mean of 2.3 independent observations was completed for each block. The Neighborhood Observation data are part of the L.A. FANS Restricted Data, because they include information on the blocks and tracts in the sample that might enable identification of survey respondents. RAND will provide access to these data upon compliance with the security requirements described on the L.A. FANS website The project is very grateful to these sponsors for their financial and other support throughout the design, planning, and conduct of L.A. FANS. -ii
Clinical meaning of morphologic alteration of neutrophils in the patients with acute organic phosphorus poisoning

Objective To study the clinical meaning of morphologic alteration of neutrophils in the patients with acute organic phosphorus poisoning(AOPP). Methods 70 patients with AOPP were divided by diagnostic standard.Blood films was made with rotine blood,wright staining, making differential count of 100 or 200 neutrophils,circulating poisoning index and necleus thron integral,and comparing with poisoning control group.Results ①The morphology of neutrophils in all the patients with AOPP was damaged in various degree.Difference of cell size reaching one more time in the same patient,(the largest 12.8 μm,the smallest 8.4 μm) ②Toxic granulations were emerged in all neutrophils,the more poisoning,the longer course of disease,the higher poisoning index.The more toxic granulation in the neurophils,the bad prognosis. ③Various kinds of necleus thrones were emerged on nucleus,having consignificant after comparison with control group,the more serious patient condition,the more significant change (comparing with control group P0 01 and P0 0005). ④In the serious and in dead,degeneration of nucleus in neutrophils were developed,such as cell body boggy,structure blurring,nuclear boggy,even shattering,melting and so on.Conclusion It is great meaning for AOPP to mornitor patient's conditions,judge prognosis and recovery.
Perceived environment of ethnic diversity as a determinant of organisational identification in the public sector

As public sector managers implement the policy of employing people that broadly reflects the social make up of a local society, there is a need to ensure that employees have a positive perception of ethnic diversity. Perceived environment of ethnic diversity (PEED) is conceptualised as employees’ view of how they are treated at work irrespective of where they come from. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between PEED and organisational identification (OID). ,Data were collected by means of a survey of 908 employees from four public sector organisations in a state in Nigeria. Regression analysis was used to test the hypotheses. ,Findings showed that OID may be fostered among multi-ethnic employees through the following framework: first, PEED had a direct relationship with OID and support was found, which was explained by the mediating role of co-worker social support (CWSS). Second, the effect of CWSS mediation was moderated by employees’ ethnic self-identification (ESI) such that those with strong ESI experienced lower OID. ,As employee compositions in organisations increase in diversity, CWSS is presented in this study as a veritable measure for managers to foster OID. ,This study is novel as it is one of the first to examine the mechanisms for linking PEED to OID through mediating effect of CWSS at different levels of ESI. Other contributions are discussed in detail in the study.
Image Guided Percutaneous Facet Joint Infiltrations: Review of the Knowledge for Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approach

It is estimated that approximately 70-90% of the population will experience at least once during their lifetime an episode of back pain (neck pain, upper low back pain) with facet joints accounting as a causative agent in 25-40% of the cases [1,2]. Facet joints are frequently affected by osteoarthritis resulting in joint space narrowing, intraarticular vacuum phenomenon/fluid, osteophytes, synovial cyst formation and flaval ligaments hypertrophy [3].
