Social determinants of Health and Alcohol consumption in the UK

Addressing the social determinants of health (SDH) and health inequities are essential for successfully combating alcohol-related harm. In U.K, excessive consumption of alcohol is a huge public health concern. An estimated 9 million adults drink at level that increase the risk of harm to their health; 1.6 million adults in England have some degree of alcohol dependence; and of these some 250,000 are believed to be moderately or severely dependent and may benefit from intensive specialist treatment. To be able to devise effective action, it is essential to comprehend these inequities in the healthcare system. Health inequities are not solely related to access to health care services; there are many other determinants related to living and working conditions, as well as the overall macro-policies prevailing in a country. The key intention of this review was to critically analyse the degree to which social determinants have impacted on excess alcohol consumption. A comprehensive approach to reduce inequities in alcohol-related harm requires action that includes mix of long- and short-term impacts, addressing the consequences and the root causes of inequities, and acting on both individuals and environments. Whereas, consequences of harmful alcohol use are more severe for those already experiencing social exclusion. We suggest that (1) the effective legislation, (2) modifying marketing strategies, (3) enhancing cooperation with regional organizations, (4) more effectively implementing existing regulation and (5) consulting expert will enhance SDH for this vulnerable population.
Conformité du dépistage du diabète gestationnel : étude rétrospective au sein de la maternité du centre hospitalier Alpes Léman

Objectifs : Le College National des Gynecologues Obstetriciens Francais a emis des recommandations en 2010 sur le depistage du diabete gestationnel (DG). Il recommande de realiser un depistage cible sur facteurs de risque (FDR). L’objectif principal etait de determiner si le depistage est realise conformement a ces recommandations. Materiels et methodes : Une etude descriptive observationnelle retrospective et monocentrique a ete menee a la maternite du Centre Hospitalier Alpes Leman. Etaient evaluees pour eligibilite les patientes ayant accouche en Juillet 2018. Etaient inclues les patientes enceintes d’un singleton et ayant eu un suivi regulier a raison d’au moins une consultation par mois. Etaient exclues les patientes avec un diabete preexistant, les grossesses gemellaires et les patientes peu suivies. Le critere de jugement principal etait les pourcentages de patientes ayant eu un depistage conforme aux recommandations. Resultats : 202 patientes ont ete inclues, 114 avec FDR et 88 sans FDR. Parmi les patientes ayant au moins un FDR, 91.2% ont realise une glycemie a jeun (GAJ). Parmi celles avec facteur de risque ayant eu soit une GAJ normale soit non realisee, 78.8% ont eu une hyperglycemie provoquee par voie orale (HGPO). Toutes les patientes avec facteur de risque qui n’avaient pas ete diagnostiquees comme ayant un DG a la suite d’une GAJ pathologique ont pratique une HGPO. Parmi celles n’ayant aucun facteur de risque, 81.8% ont realise une GAJ et 52.3% ont realise une HGPO. Conclusion : Les recommandations emises par le CNGOF ne sont que partiellement suivies. Le depistage du DG doit etre ameliore, en particulier chez les patientes ne presentant pas de facteur de risque.
THE EFFECTS OF SINGLE PARENTHOOD ON EDUCATIONAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT AMONG ADOLESCENTS OF ACK CATHEDRAL ARCHDEACONRY DIOCESE OF MT. KENYA CENTRAL, KENYA

Single parenthood has greatly influenced the educational and psychological development of many adolescents, more so in developed nations. The purpose of this paper was to establish the effects of single parenthood on educational and psychological development among adolescents of ACK Cathedral Archdeaconry Diocese of Mt. Kenya Central. This paper was guided by two objectives namely: to determine the relationship between adolescent educational achievement and the single parenthood in Cathedral Archdeaconry, and to assess the impact of single parenthood on the adolescent’s psychological development in Cathedral Archdeaconry. The study utilised descriptive research design to collect quantitative data from 75 adolescents and 75 parents which was analysed descriptively and inferentially. The study found out that majority of the adolescents were coming from single parent households with grandmothers as household heads with few households headed by their biological mothers who are rarely available for the youths. The study further established that this structure of households negatively influences the educational and psychological development of the adolescents. The study recommends that single parents must be proactive in the manner they handle and parent their adolescents by creating time to properly up bring them to avoid lapses in their educational and psychological development.

Noisy image classification using hybrid deep learning methods

In real-world scenario, image classification models degrade in performance as the images are corrupted with noise, while these models are trained with preprocessed data. Although deep neural networks (DNNs) are found efficient for image classification due to their deep layer-wise design to emulate latent features from data, they suffer from the same noise issue. Noise in image is common phenomena in real life scenarios and a number of studies have been conducted in the previous couple of decades with the intention to overcome the effect of noise in the image data. The aim of this study was to investigate the DNN-based better noisy image classification system. At first, the auto encoder (AE)-based denoising techniques were considered to reconstruct native image from the input noisy image. Then, convolutional neural network (CNN) is employed to classify the reconstructed image; as CNN was a prominent DNN method with the ability to preserve better representation of the internal structure of the image data. In the denoising step, a variety of existing AEs, named denoising auto encoder (DAE), convolutional denoising auto encoder (CDAE) and denoising variational auto encoder (DVAE) as well as two hybrid AEs (DAE-CDAE and DVAE- CDAE) were used. Therefore, this study considered five hybrid models for noisy image classification termed as: DAE-CNN, CDAE-CNN, DVAE-CNN, DAE-CDAE-CNN and DVAE- CDAE-CNN. The proposed hybrid classifiers were validated by experimenting over two benchmark datasets (i.e. MNIST and CIFAR-10) after corrupting them with noises of various proportions. These methods outperformed some of the existing eminent methods attaining satisfactory recognition accuracy even when the images were corrupted with 50% noise though these models were trained with 20% noise in the image.Among the proposed methods, DVAE-CDAE-CNN was found to be better than the others while classifying massive noisy images, and DVAE-CNN was the most appropriate for regular noise. The main significance of this work is the employment of the hybrid model with the complementary strengths of AEs and CNN in noisy image classification.AEs in the hybrid models enhanced the proficiency of CNN to classify highly noisy data even though trained with low level noise.

Research on the Relationship between Online Shopping Experience and Consumer Impulse Buying

Studying the impact of online shopping experience on consumer impulse buying behavior is of great significance to the development of shopping platforms and merchant marketing strategies. Based on the SOR model and the online shopping environment, this paper studies the relationship between consumers' shopping experience and impulsive buying behavior and the influencing mechanism under the online shopping situation. The online shopping experience is divided into sensory experience, cognitive experience, practical experience and relationship experience, and the research model of the influence factors of online shopping experience on consumer impulse buying behavior is constructed. Data were collected through questionnaires, and statistical analysis and hypothesis testing were performed using SPSS and Smart PLS. The study found that the sensory experience of the online shopping experience significantly affects consumers' awakening mood, sensory experience, cognitive experience and practical experience significantly marketing consumer pleasure, awakening the perception of pleasure that significantly affects consumers, and significantly affecting consumers together with consumer pleasure and the impulsive buying behavior.
Socialising accountability in a religious charity organisation

The dual classification of hierarchical and socialising forms of accountability has proved useful in assisting accounting and accountability researchers to consider accountability beyond the confines of technical considerations. However, researchers concur that the two forms of accountability overlap and are interdependent. This paper presents empirical data highlighting how socialising accountability has been adopted by one religious charity organisation the Sanitarium Health Food Company – as the principle means to report on its activities to constituents and the wider public. The paper explores both the strengths and limitations of socialising accountability as a form of reporting, and particularly the consequences when this form of accountability is decoupled from its hierarchical moorings. KEY TERMS: Accountability, Socialising Accountability, Seventh-day Adventists, Sanitarium
Risk Awareness and Perception Training Using VR Headsets: The Validation of VR Headsets to Measure Hazard Anticipation Behaviors

The objective of the current study is to evaluate the use of virtual reality (VR) headsets to measure driving performance for driving simulation studies and training. This is desirable because they are several orders of magnitude less expensive and, if validated, could greatly extend the powers of simulation. Out of several possible measures of performance that could be considered for evaluating VR headsets, the current study specifically examines drivers’ latent hazard anticipation behavior both because it has been linked to crashes and because it has been shown to be significantly poorer in young drivers compared to their experienced counterparts in traditional driving simulators and in open road studies. The total time middle-aged drivers spend glancing at a latent hazard and the average duration of each glance were also compared to these same times for younger drivers using a VR headset and fixed-base driving simulator. In a between-subjects design, 48 participants were equally and randomly assigned to one of four experimental conditions: two young driver cohorts (18-21 years) and two middle-aged driver cohorts (30-55 years) navigating either a fixed-base driving simulator or a VR-headset-based simulator. All participants navigated six unique scenarios while their eyes were continually tracked. The proportion of latent hazards anticipated by participants, which constituted the primary dependent measure, was found to be greater for middle-aged drivers than for young drivers across both platforms. Results also indicate that the middle-aged participants glanced longer than their younger counterparts on both platforms at latent hazards, as measured by the total glance duration; however, there was no difference when measured by the average glance duration. Moreover, the magnitude of the difference between middle-aged and younger drivers was the same across the two platforms. The study provides some justification for the use of VR headsets as a way of understanding drivers’ hazard anticipation behavior and using this understanding to create a risk awareness training program.
The Impact of Job Retention on Continuous Growth of Engineering and Informational Technology SMEs in South Korea

This study aims to explore what factors are critically associated with job retention in Engineering and Information Technology small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in South Korea, and how employers think about staff retention policy in relation to business growth. This contrasts with previous studies that mainly focus on employee motivation, job retention, and turnover. Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted face-to-face with founder Chief Executive Officers (CEOs). The results suggest that an important factor influencing job retention policies of these SMEs was to motivate employees to make greater voluntary effort, including through developing a collaborative organizational culture, rather than solely offering them additional financial rewards or using other Human Resource Management (HRM) practices to improve individual performances. Interviewees believed that job retention and business growth were closely related, and they discussed various ways of eliciting emotional commitment from employees. Unlike research on larger firms, these suggestions did not involve immediate financial rewards. How employers thought that the roles played by employees strongly influenced their firm’s productivity and competitiveness. This study suggests SME employers adjust their retention policy specifically to improve their firm’s survival and long-term growth.

Smaller Pituitary Volumes in Patients with Delusional Disorder

Introduction: Delusional disorder shares some clinical characteristics of OCD and hypochondriasis. Delusions compared to obsessions in the OCD and compared to bodily preoccupations in the hypochondriasis are more established beliefs. Aim: To measure pituitary volumes in patients with delusional disorder and hypothesized that volumes would be reduced in those patients by a mechanism that we could not account for before for patients with OCD and hypochondriasis. Methods: Eighteen patients with delusional disorder and healthy controls were included into the study. Pituitary gland volumes were measured. Results: When using independent t test, the mean total pituitary volume was 777.22±241.28 mm3 in healthy controls, while it was 532.11±125.65 mm3 in patients with delusional disorder. The differences in regard to pituitary gland volumes between patients with delusional disorder and healthy control subjects were statistically meaningful (p<0.01), as supported by ANCOVA, with the covariates of age, gender and total brain volumes as covariates. Conclusion: We determined that patients with delusional disorder had smaller pituitary volumes compared to those of healthy control subjects.
Does macroscale grey matter anatomy reflect personality?

Personality traits are key indices of inter-individual variation. Personality is heritable and associated with brain structure and function. To date, it is unknown whether the relation between personality and brain macrostructure can be explained by shared genetic factors. In a large-scale twin sample, we show that key personality traits, e.g. agreeableness and extraversion, were genetically associated with thickness of specific brain regions. Second, we observed that spatial patterns of phenotypic and genetic correlations between personality and cortical thickness were significantly positive, suggesting a genetic basis for phenotypic associations. However, these findings did not replicate in two large-scale datasets of unrelated individuals. We were able to reconcile this discrepancy by probing the latent relation between personality and cortical thickness using a multivariate approach. Here we could uncover a latent association between personality traits and cortical thickness. This component accounted for 30% of the variance shared between personality traits and cortical thickness. The results of our multivariate analysis indicate that personality is associated with regions supporting lower-order sensory as well as integrative cognitive processes. Our study provides first evidence of a genetic origin of associations between grey matter and personality and highlights robustness of latent personality components in relation to whole-brain spatial patterns, rather than single regions and traits. Significance statement Personality traits quantify individual differences in goals, cognition, and emotion, that lead to behavior. Evidence from psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and genetics has proposed links between personality and brain structure. In the current study, we used a twin-design to test whether covariance between personality and brain structure is due to shared genetic effects. Indeed, phenotypic correlations between personality traits and cortical thickness were driven by genetic effects, suggesting that associations between personality and cortical thickness have a genetic origin. At the same time, replication analysis indicated that only latent factors underlying personality, rather than personality traits themselves, have a robust relation to brain structure. These observations might inform future studies on the biological basis of individual difference in complex behavior.

'Paperless Ticketing' and its Impact on the Secondary Market: Antitrust Implications

“Paperless Ticketing” refers to a transaction where the purchaser uses her credit card to get into an event instead of having a ticket, PDF, or mobile phone scanable file. As implemented by TicketMaster, the secondary or resale market of tickets originally sold by TicketMaster must go through TicketMaster’s own resale site, TicketExchange (or its wholly owned sister site, TicketsNow). Preventing other platforms like StubHub, RazorGator, and the like from being used severely limits the resale market. In an empirical study of over 1,600 tickets, some sold as “Paperless Ticketing” tickets and others sold as conventional tickets, the price in the secondary market for the “Paperless Ticketing” tickets was nearly $100 higher than comparable conventional tickets sold. In addition, the quantity of “Paperless Ticketing” tickets available and sold in the secondary market relative to comparable conventional tickets was about 10 percent. In other words, the supply of “Paperless Ticketing” tickets available for sale in the secondary market was much lower and the prices were much higher. This is consistent with the theoretical findings, and standard economics findings, of downstream attempted monopolization by an upstream supplier.

Transitions Across Labor Market States Including Formal/Informal Division in Egypt

This study examines the worker transitions across labor market states including formal/informal division using panel data of 2006 to 2012 from Egypt. We generate a broad set of facts about labor market dynamics in Egypt. We first develop transition probabilities by gender across different labor market states including formal/informal sectors utilizing Markov transition processes. Government employment is the most persistent labor market state for both men and women and the out of labor force is the second most persistent labor market state for women. Unemployment is the most mobile labor market state. Informal private wage work and self‐employed–agriculture are also relatively mobile labor market states. We next identify the effects of individual, household and job characteristics on different mobility patterns by estimating multinomial logit models. We find that gender, age, education, experience, and several sectors of economic activity are associated with the transition probabilities between the labor market states considered such as formal wage, informal wage, self‐employment, unemployment, government employment, and out of labor market. Education, in particular, university degree or above is noted to play a vital role in the probability of transitions across several labor market states.
