Attachment Styles: Formation, Influences, and the Potential for Change
Authors: Jin Ruining
Published: August 2023

In people's lives, establishing and maintaining profound emotional connections with others have always been a core societal issue. From childhood, we begin to develop various attachment styles, which fundamentally influence our future interactions with others. However, as time progresses, does this attachment style become deeply ingrained into part of our character? Or is there a way to intervene and attempt to modify it? [1].

Effectiveness of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Gambling Disorder among a Sample of Black Americans
Authors: Valencia Adrianna Jordan , Pfund Rory A , Horn Tori , Whelan James P.
Published: August 2023

Individuals who identify as Black are more likely to experience gambling harm compared to other racial subgroups. However, understanding treatment effectiveness is limited by minimal representation of individuals who are Black American in treatment studies. Method: Thirty-seven Black American adult clients between 19-64 years of age (52.8% male, mean age 43.97) seeking cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for gambling harm completed assessments of diagnostic symptoms for gambling disorder, gambling frequency, and gambling self-efficacy at pretreatment, 3-month posttreatment, and 6-month posttreatment time points. Results: Paired Samples t-Tests revealed a statistically significant decrease in gambling disorder symptoms and gambling frequency from pre-treatment to both 3-month and 6-month posttreatment. However, no significant differences were found for symptoms and frequency between the 3–6-month posttreatment time points. Additionally, findings revealed no difference in gambling self-efficacy from pretreatment to 3-month posttreatment, and 6-month posttreatment. Further, there were no changes in self-efficacy from 3–6-month posttreatment. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that CBT reduced gambling disorder symptoms and gambling frequency among individuals who identify as Black American. Future research should examine the role of self-efficacy among Black Americans in a robust clinical population to examine natural treatment engagement. Clinicians should explore tailored multicultural approaches to increase the maintenance of treatment effects.
The moderating role of conscientiousness in the temporal association between stress and sleep
Authors: Quaedflieg Conny W.E.M. , Bossi Camilla , Bruijel Jessica
Published: August 2023

The personality traits neuroticism and conscientiousness have been associated with sleep problems and the experience of stress. However, the impact of personality on objective sleep and on the temporal relationship between stress and sleep has remained elusive. This study therefore examined whether daytime stress predicts sleep the following night and the moderating role of neuroticism and conscientiousness in this relationship. To introduce stress variability in natural daily stressors, we measured college students (N=99; mean age 21 years; 86% female) during exams (e.g. high academic stress) and at the start of a new course period (e.g. low academic stress). Both objective (actigraphy) and subjective sleep, and daily self-reported stress, were measured for 14 days and personality traits once at the end of the study. Results showed that reported daily stress was significantly higher in the exam period compared to baseline suggesting that our natural manipulation did indeed result in variation in stress levels. Intra-individual daily variations in stress were not associated with the following night's sleep timing, duration, or continuity, implying that more stress during the day did not affect sleep the following night. Higher levels of neuroticism were associated with poorer daily subjective sleep quality and higher stress levels over the complete period. Neuroticism did not moderate the temporal association between stress and sleep. Conscientiousness moderated the association between intra-individual stress and sleep fragmentation and intra-individual stress and wake-up time. This implied that highly conscientious participants experienced reduced sleep fragmentation and earlier awakenings after more stressful days. These results suggest an interconnected relationship among stress, sleep, and personality. Focusing on one aspect, like handling stress or enhancing sleep quality, might yield positive effects on the rest.
Personality and Cognitive Ability in Older Age: Investigating the Mediating Role of an Active and Healthy Lifestyle

Published: August 2023

Individual differences in personality have been associated with cognitive ability among older adults. Lifestyles and behaviours may partly account for reported links between traits and cognitive ability, but further research is needed to investigate these potential mechanisms. The present study investigated several possible indirect personality-cognition associations indicated by previous research: a) whether any positive association between Openness to Experience and cognitive ability was mediated by increased engagement in mentally stimulating leisure activities; b) whether any positive association between Conscientiousness and cognitive ability was mediated by more positive health-related behaviours; c) whether any negative association between Neuroticism and cognitive ability was mediated by lower levels of engagement in mentally/socially demanding activities, or less positive health-related behaviours. Three hundred and thirty-six adults aged 65 and over with no diagnosed cognitive impairments completed a cognitive battery and measures of personality, activity engagement and health-related behaviours (physical activity, diet, alcohol consumption and smoking history). Cross-sectional analyses revealed that Openness was positively associated with verbal ability and visuospatial ability, while Neuroticism and Extraversion were negatively associated with verbal ability, visuospatial ability and visual memory. Conscientiousness was negatively associated with working memory ability. Additional analyses tested whether the association between Openness and verbal ability was mediated by mental activity engagement, and whether the associations between Neuroticism and both visuospatial ability and visual memory were mediated by lifetime smoking history. None of these indirect associations were significant. Thus, no evidence was found to support the hypothesised lifestyle factors as mediators of the personality-cognition associations.
Improving climate change decision-makers’ understanding of IPCC graphs: A randomised experimental study across 135 countries
Authors: van den Broek Karlijn L. , Gultekin Gokce , Okan Yasmina , Fischer Helen
Published: August 2023

Evidence-based decision-making in the domain of climate change hinges on decision-makers’ understanding of climate science. The IPCC Assessment Reports aim to lay the foundation for informed decision-making by providing policy-relevant information. Yet, understanding of graphs in IPCC reports is often poor, and recommendations to improve the graph design have not yet been tested with a global sample of the IPCC’s target audience. Here, we provide a global experimental survey study applying the four theoretically most promising principles from cognitive science to redesign IPCC graphs to enhance understanding among the IPCC’s target audience. The sample included 690 climate change decision-makers in governance, civil society, research and the public sector from 54 (Study 1) and 135 (Study 2) countries. We experimentally tested the effect of graph redesign on graph comprehension and awareness of graph comprehension for actual IPCC graphs, providing an ecologically valid approach. Findings show that (1) the principles matching spatial and conventional features and representing one main message per graph enhanced graph comprehension, (2) the principle representing one main message per graph also improved participant’s awareness of their understanding of the graphs, (3) we did not find evidence for the effectiveness of applying principles that involve guiding viewers to make the correct inferences and matching visual information with expectations. The results of this study provide an unprecedented evidence base for how best to communicate climate science and key recommendations for the future design of IPCC climate change graphs. By advancing climate change communication, these findings lay the foundation for improved evidence-based political decision-making worldwide.
Study on the Uniqueness of Vessanthara Jataka Stories in Sri Lankan Buddhist Temple Paintings (1750 - 1900 A.D)
Authors: Suren P.K. I.
Published: August 2023

Archeological and literary sources attest that the “Jataka Stories” were subject to temple paintings from the second century onwards. The Vessanthara Jataka has featured prominently among temple painting in several eras of Sri Lankan history. Vessanthara jataka is a famous jataka story which is highlighted among other jataka stories in Buddhist shrines. The specialty given to the Vessanthara jataka in the paintings of Kandy era is particularly noticeable. This feature can be clearly observed in the temples which were built between 1750 and 1900. Some of these temples, located in the up country were patronized by royals like King Kirthi Sri Raja Singha. Other temples in the low country were built with the patronage of the rising middle class. Even with many fluctuating political and social issues, it seems the prominence given to the depiction of the Vessantara jataka was stable and unshakable. Giving priority to the Vessanthara jataka seems to have been a process carried out by a group of patrons, monks, artists and general public patrons who may have expected to achieve their political and social targets through the depiction of the vessanthara jatakaya. Buddhist monks have also attempted to convey the message of Buddhism through the depiction of Vessanthara jatakaya. Artists may have been interested in depiction of the “Vessanthara jataka” story because it was an opportunity to display their talent and attract others. It seems that the general public was also attracted to the Vessanthara jatakaya because of the characters of that jataka story and its sensitive and emotional scenes. The paper will examine the allocation of space to the Vessanthara jataka and its tactful visual techniques.
Chance as an artistic and philosophical problem. Mark Aldanov’s novel Suicide [Samoubiystvo]
Authors: Kantor V. K.
Published: August 2023

Although he mentioned more than once that Tolstoy was his idol, Aldanov, driven by the force of circumstances and catastrophic dimensions of the contemporary historical process, appears to be closer to Dostoevsky, both in terms of theory and subject matter. Scholarly writings that concern Aldanov’s understanding of chance as a historical trigger are often tinged with irony, dismissing his ideas as a prominent writer’s fancy. Aldanov summarises his views on the role of chance in a brilliant book, possibly the best historiosophical treatise written in Russian — A Night at Ulm: The Philosophy of Chance [Ulmskaya noch. Filosofiya sluchaya] (1953), a kind of manifesto of his main idea, where, citing Descartes and employing his style, Aldanov describes different variants of historical occurrences but leaves out their final resolution, only pointing at the possibility of multiple outcomes. This means that chance rules as ever and sometimes bad luck prevails. Lenin epitomised such a bad turn of events for Russia. The country’s subsequent history became that of survival after the terrible blow. The history continues and it remains unclear if any recovery has been made.
A new interpretation of old tales. On the latest edition of the Brothers Grimm’s Children’s and Household Tales
Authors: Koreneva M. Y.
Published: August 2023

The review considers K. Azadovsky’s translation of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm’s Children’s and Household Tales published by Ladomir Press in their Literary Monuments [Literaturnye pamyatniki] series in 2020. The first complete Russian edition of the collection follows the last original compilation printed in the scholars’ lifetime and includes a foreword and a letter to Bettina von Arnim, both appearing in the Russian language for the first time. By pondering the vicissitudes of the Brothers Grimm’s fairy tales in Germany and Soviet Russia and especially by comparing the new book with previous publications, the author demonstrates the book’s significance and helps appreciate the sheer scope of preparation and research behind the translation and comments. The review contains a careful analysis of Azadovsky’s translation which offers the most faithful interpretation of the German original. In addition, the author discusses the general problem of scholarly comments of the Brothers Grimm’s tales as well as accuracy and thoroughness of the information provided in comments, and considers the commentator’s freedom of interpretation.
Ludmiła Mnich. Shakespeare in Russian theory in the first half of the 20th century
Authors: Shaytanov I. O.
Published: August 2023

The book written by the Polish scholar treats Russian theory as it has been informed in the process of understanding Shakespeare and in its turn served as a basis for Russian theory. The term ‘Russian theory’ is advanced as analogous to ‘French theory’ represented by M. Foucault and French deconstruction in general. ‘Theory’ in this broader sense is used to denote scientific mind represented in various discursive practices, namely historiosophy, religion, philosophy, and partly politics. An attempt to understand Russian intellectual life through analogy with certain Western events can be productive as it brings the national into the world context, but at the same time it is fraught with a danger to wipe off those features that do not fit into the analogy.Thus, Russian historical poetics, the Russian variant of theory, is practically left out, or falls into separate sections and loosely related individual practices. The book is important as a case study of modern theoretical appropriation at work in the domain of literature.

This type of research is descriptive qualitative. This research was taken at SMAS An-Nizam Medan. Data collection methods used are observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study showed that the PAI extracurricular activities that were implemented were one of the public speaking skills/Kultum programs which were carried out every day after the midday prayer. As for the supporting factors in the implementation of public speaking skills/Kultum, there are professional teachers who are very supportive in motivating students. While the inhibiting factor in this implementation is the lack of self-confidence of introverted students which results in being nervous when in front. Furthermore, the impact of the implementation of the public speaking skill/Kultum program on PAI extracurricular activities is that you can get used to speaking in public, especially later in the community and this program is not obtained in class lessons but only in PAI extracurriculars and can represent the school when there is a speech contest both held by internal and external parties, as well as from government and private sectors.

Kura- Aras kültürünün yayılım alanının genişliği; Güney Kafkasya, Kuzeybatı İran, Doğu Anadolu, Amik Ovası ve Levant bölgesine kadar izlerinin görülmesi, mimarisi ve tercih ettikleri yaşam alanları araştırmacılar tarafından bir göç hareketine dayandırılmıştır. Hayvancılıkla ve hareketli bir yaşam biçimi ile tanımlanan bu kültür, aynı zamanda yine bölgesel olarak farklı terminolojilere de sahiptir. Ancak en sık karşılaştığımız terminoloji, Erken Transkafkasya ve Kura Aras Kültürü olmuştur. Kimlikleri, hangi dili konuştukları veya neden hareketli bir yaşamı tercih ettiklerini bilmediğimiz bu kültür birçok soruyu da barındırmaktadır. Bu nedenle bu kültürü bir fenomen olarak da değerlendirebiliriz. Buna rağmen, Kura-Aras kültürünü incelerken en büyük buluntu grubunu oluşturan seramikleri, bize kültürü anlamak açısından bilgiler sunmaktadır. Kültürün kendine has, karakteristik özellikler taşıyan seramikleri, hemen kendini ayırt ettiren yapım tekniği ve kap profilleri ile oldukça belirgin bir tipoloji sunmaktadır.
Ovçular Tepesi ve Duzdağ ise Nahçivan’da bulunan ancak iki farklı işleve sahip olan yerleşim yerleridir. Ovçular Tepesi bir Kura- Aras kamp yerleşimi iken, Duzdağ ise bir tuz madeni olması ile ekonomik ve hayvancılıkla ilgili işlevsel bir öneme de sahiptir. İki yerleşim yerinin seramiklerini incelediğimizde hem benzer hem de farklı özelliklere sahip seramiklerle karşılaşmaktayız. Bu farklılıklar, her iki yerleşim yerinin topoğrafik ve işlevsel özelliklerini de düşünürsek; kil, hamur içeriği, tipoloji ve yüzey işlemleri olarak ayrışmaktadır.

Published: August 2023

This paper will analyze the concept of the meaning of life in Frank Capra’s film It’s a Wonderful Life (1946) from a logotherapy aspect and with the support of Catholic theory. Namely, the film depicts how George Bailey, faced with a major life difficulty, self-transcends himself and discovers meaning through work and deeds, love, and the attitude toward unavoidable suffering. The notions of the responsibility of every human being to their life and God, the uniqueness of every individual and the specific tasks life sets before them, and the acceptance of one’s own position will also be examined with regard to Bailey’s actualization of the meaning of life. The paper will conclude by identifying the effect this film has on its viewers due to the way it tackles the topic of the meaning of life, which makes it suitable for a therapeutic method cinematherapy, used in logotherapy.

Published: August 2023

Compliance of processes in enterprises to internal policies and external regulations could be critical because failing to follow them could result in great losses, but manual compliance auditing is difficult and prone to errors and oversight. In this paper, we present a method for formally verifying the properties of Integrated Change Control processes using temporal logic. We express the process in terms of states, and then we formulate some of its key properties, such as prerequisites, reachability, definiteness, and cycles, using a temporal logic called Computation Tree Logic. The properties to verify in the case study we present are taken from actual change control process auditing practice in a large business in the food industry. We formally verify those properties using a model-checking tool. We end up with a formally verified Integrated Change Control process and more robust assurance of its correctness than can be reached for its informal counterpart. To the best of our knowledge, this has not been done before.
Prevalence of Common Mental Illness and Its Associated Factors among Hawassa City High School Students in Hawassa, Sidama Region, Ethiopia
Authors: Berego Yohannes Seifu
Published: August 2023

INTRODUCTION: Common mental illness is a group of mental disorders that include depression, anxiety, and somatoform disorders. World Health Organization estimated that common mental illness accounts for 30% of non-fatal disease burden worldwide. There are limited school-based studies on adolescent mental health in developing countries like Ethiopia, particularly in Hawassa City, Southern Ethiopia.

OBJECTIVES: To assess the prevalence of common mental illness and associated factors among Hawassa City secondary and preparatory school students, in Hawassa City, Southern Ethiopia.

METHODS: Institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted between 30th October and 1st December 2020. A multistage sampling technique was used to select 634 students and a Self-Reported Questionnaire was used to assess common mental illness. Data were coded and double entry undertaken using EpiData version 3.1 and exported to Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26 for analysis. Bivariable logistic regression analysis was undertaken and variables with a P-value <0.25 were entered into a multivariable regression model. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify associated factors, and a P value <0.05 was considered as the cut-off point to declare a significant association.

RESULT: The prevalence of common mental illness was 20.7%. After adjusting for other variables age 15-19 years [AOR=0.51, 95% CI: (0.27, 0.97)], female sex [AOR=1.79, 95% CI: (1.10, 2.39)], grade 9 [AOR=0.41, 95% CI: (0.22, 0.76)], grade 10 [AOR=0.46, 95% CI: (0.23, 0.82)], chew khat currently [AOR=2.46, 95% CI: (1.07, 5.65)], poor social support [AOR=2.34, 95% CI: (1.27, 4.32)] and had medical illness [AOR=3.16, 95% CI: (1.64, 6.09)] were independent predictors of common mental illness.

CONCLUSION: The prevalence of common mental illness among high school students in the study area is high. Older age, female sex, higher grade, khat chewing, poor social support and having medical illness were risk factors for common mental illness. Guidance and counseling for high graders and females, strengthening student clubs (anti-drug) and improving communication between students, parents, and teachers were recommended.

Authors: Ullah Ahsan , Pervez Namal , Mohsin Javaid Muhammad , Din Shahab Ud , Liaqat Sehrish , Junaid Muhammad
Published: August 2023

Background: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common type of oral cancer, accounting for over 94 percent of all cases, with substantial disparities in occurrence among South Asian countries. In Pakistan its occurrence rate rises from last two decade. A combination of risk factor habit, duration and intensity doubles the rate of incidence.
Methods: Fully informed consent was taken. Both genders having age 18-55 years and cases confirmed by biopsy reports were included in the study. A thorough history of the disease and risk factors were taken and labelled (smoking, alcohol consumption, and betel nut chewing) accordingly. Data was analysed using SPSS 20. Gender base stratification was done using chi-square test and significance was defined as a P value of ? 0.05.
Results: In present study 110 (73.3%) male and 40 (26.7%) female patients. Mean ±SD of age of OSCC patients was 47.00± 9.170 years. Among the participants 9 (6.0%) smokers, 39 (26.0%) consumed alcohol, use betel and 24 (16.0%) areca nut pan. Association of smoking with gender was statistically significant (p=0.013). Similarly, betel nut chewing also showed statistically significant correlation with gender (p=0.044). Both alcohol and snuff did not show any statistically significant correlation with gender.
Conclusion: The public should be aware of the association of the risk factors and development of oral cancer. Public health measures should be taken to prevent smoking and chewing tobacco.

Hasil penelitian dari observasi dan wawancara yang telah dilakukan di RA Raihan Persis 27 didapatkan bahwa ada beberapa program parenting, seperti Parenting mengenai kontrak belajar, OSPEK (Obrolan Sekitar Perkembangan Anak), Parenting untuk ayah dan Parenting untuk couple orang tua. Adapun perencanaanya, yaitu program parenting di RA Raihan termasuk ke dalam program yang disusun saat awal tahun ajaran. Parenting biasa dilaksanakan selama tiga bulan sekali dan untuk parenting besarnya, dilaksanakan selama satu tahun dua kali tentunya dengan mengundang pemateri khusus dari luar. Kesulitan yang dihadapi dalam melaksanakan kegiatan parenting ini baik dari pihak guru maupun orang tua yaitu pengaturan waktu, karena peluang waktu dari orang tua yang berbeda beda. Pihak sekolah mengadakan seminar di tempat-tempat yang memang sesuai dengan tema dan kebutuhan. Upaya tindak lanjut dari pihak sekolah kepada para orang tua dengan memberikan sertifikat setelah selesai mengikuti kegiatan, lalu adanya kunjungan guru ke rumah sebagai bentuk kepedulian terhadap anak apabila orang tuanya memang sama sekai tidak bisa mengikuti kegiatan, dan guru mengadakan psikotes perkembangan anak yang terlihat setelah orang tuanya mengikuti parenting yaitu anak terlihat semakin berkembang, anak semakin mandiri, juga terdeteksinya anak yang memiliki hambatan dalam perkembangan. Manfaat teoritis dari penelitian ini bahwa dengan adanya program parenting  dapat mempermudah orang tua maupun guru untuk memahami anak. Adapun manfaat praktis yang didapatkan dari penelitian ini adalah agar mampu merubah anak untuk menjadi anak yang mandiri dan jauh lebih baik.

Kemiskinan merupakan isu permasalahan negara berkembang termasuk Indonesia. Jumlah peduduk miskin pasca pandemi covid 19 mengalami peningkatan, demikian juga di Kabupaten Temanggung. Dalam upaya penanggulangan kemiskinan, Kabupaten Temanggung melakukan kegiatan pemberdayaan masyarakat melalui KUBE dari KPM PKH.  Diharapkan dengan program KUBE ini mereka dapat mengembangkan potensinya dan dapat mandiri sehingga bisa meningkatkan  kesejahteraannya, yang pada akhirnya dapat keluar dari kemiskinan. Metode penelitian yang dilakukan untuk meneliti KUBE adalah kualitatif, tekhnik pencarian data dengan wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi,  dengan jenis data primer dan sekunder, adapun proses analisis data adalah dengan reduksi data, penyajian data dan penarikan kesimpulan. Tulisan ini mencoba meninjau Program pemberdayaan masyarakat melalui KUBE dengan Filsafat Kritisisme Immanuel Kant yang mensintesakan antara Filsafat Rasionalisme yang  mengutamakan pengetahuan (a priori)  yaitu teori-teori dari para ahli tentang Kemiskinan, pemberdayaan masyarakat dan KUBE dengan Filsafat Empirisme yang mengutamakan pengalaman (a posteriori) yaitu pengalaman-pengalaman para pelaku KUBE di lapangan baik dari anggota, pengurus, pendamping sosial, dan lainnya. Berdasarkan penggabungan atau sintesa kedua hal ini akan muncul hal-hal baru yang bisa menjadi saran masukan dalam pemberdayaan masyarakat sehingga dapat lebih mengoptimalkan pelaksanaan program KUBE.

Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara dengan jumlah penduduk tertinggi ke empat di dunia, namun persebaran penduduknya masih belum merata disetiap daerah, seperti pada kecamatan sukajadi yang jumlah penduduknya mencapai 100 ribu penduduk dan kecamatan Bandung Wetan yang jumlah penduduknya hanya sekitar 37 ribu orang saja. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam artikel ini adalah metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data studi literatur dan wawancara ke beberapa orang yang bersangkutan. Tujuan dibuatnya artikel ini adalah untuk mengetahui apakah banyaknya atau sedikitnya penduduk akan mempengaruhi kualitas sumberdaya manusianya apabila dilihat dari segi pendidikan dan pekerjaannya. Hasil yang didapatkan adalah bahwa penduduk kecamatan sukajadi hanya 10,2% yang mengikuti wajib belajar minimal 9 tahun, serta jumlah pensiunan lebih banyak dibandingkan dengan penduduk kecamatan Bandung Wetan. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa banyaknya penduduk atau tingginya angka kelahiran tidak dapat menentukan kualitas sumberdaya manusianya, seperti pada kecamatan sukajadi yang jumlah penduduknya banyak namun apabila dilihat kualitas sdmnya dari segi pendidikan dan pekerjaan masih lebih unggul kecamatan bandung wetan yang penduduknya lebih sedikit.

Objective: This study was set out to inquire into the expression and clinical significance of lncRNA activated by transforming growth factor β (LncRNA-ATB) and in cancer tissues of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: LncRNA-ATB in cancer tissues and adjacent tissues of 89 NSCLC patients was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and its clinical diagnostic value in NSCLC was determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Based on the median expression of LncRNAATB in NSCLC tissues, 89 patients were allocated into high- and low-expression groups. The 3-year survival rate was calculated using Kaplan-Meier method and logrank test, and compared between lncRNA-ATB high and low expression groups by Log-rank test. Cox regression quantitatively analyzed the correlation between lncRNA-ATB and the clinical prognosis of NSCLC patients. Results: LncRNAATB presented notably higher expression in NSCLC tissues as compared to adjacent tissues (P < 0.05), and was linked to smoking history, TNM stage and greatest tumor diameter (GTD) (P < 0.05). The cut-off value, sensitivity and specificity, as well as the area under the curve (AUC) of NSCLC diagnosed by LncRNA-ATB were 2.103, 73.77%, 83.15% and 0.836, respectively. Patients with high lncRNA-ATB expression (40.00%) showed statistically lower than those with low lncRNA-ATB expression (63.36%). TNM stage, differentiation degree and lncRNA-ATB expression were independent variables affecting patient prognosis. Conclusions: LncRNA-ATB, with increased expression profiles in NSCLC tissues, is involved in NSCLC progression and associated with unfavourable prognosis of patients, which can be a plausible tumor marker for NSCLC patients.
