Published: January 2023

This study investigated the influence of entrepreneurial orientation on business model innovation in medium enterprises in Kenya. The study was grounded on the dynamic capabilities view. A descriptive cross-sectional survey research design was adopted to achieve the study’s objective. The sampling frame was the Klynveld Peat Marwick Goerdeler (KPMG) East Africa and the Nation Media Group annual Top100 companies in Kenya. Stratified random sampling was utilized to derive 221 companies that were used in the study. Primary data were collected from single respondents comprising senior managers of the participating firms. A total of 134 questionnaires were analysed. Ordinary least squares regression analysis revealed that entrepreneurial orientation is an antecedent of business model innovation among medium enterprises in Kenya. On the basis of the results, this study concluded that entrepreneurial orientation is necessary for enterprises to benefit from business model innovation. The study recommends that managers of medium enterprises in Kenya embrace entrepreneurial behaviour and attitude to enhance business model innovation practices. It is further recommended that policymakers should develop and implement policies that encourage innovation and entrepreneurial behaviour. The study clarifies the position of entrepreneurial orientation in relation to BMI. Additional studies are recommended.

Published: January 2023

El mildiu velloso (Peronospora belbahrii) afecta el desarrollo de la albahaca (Ocimum basilicum) y su control es complicado, debido al uso restringido de fungicidas. El objetivo de este estudio fue someter semillas de albahaca variedad Nufar a tratamientos de termoacondicionamiento de 40, 50 y 60°C expuestas a diferentes intervalos de tiempo (30, 60 y 90 min) para evaluar la relación existente entre la aparición de los síntomas de la enfermedad con la humedad relativa y temperaturaambiente, así como el efecto de los tratamientos de preacondicionamiento de la semilla en la severidad e incidencia de la enfermedad en la planta, y su respuesta fisiológica. Las semillas se sembraron en macetas bajo malla sombra ycuando las plantas alcanzaron 15 cm de crecimiento, se infectaron con P. belbahrii. La incidencia de la enfermedad se determinó semanalmente y 60 días después de la siembra se determinaron las variables morfométricas y fisiológicas mostrando diferencias significativas entre temperatura, tiempo de exposición e interacción en la mayoría de las variables evaluadas. Se observó una disminución en la incidencia de la enfermedad en plantas de semillas sometidas a condicionamiento térmico tratadas a 60°C por 60 min de exposición. Este mismo tratamiento mostró menor apertura estomática y transpiración y mayor concentración subestomatal deCO2, lo que sugiere una probable relación con la entrada de P. belbahrii a la hoja disminuyendo su incidencia.
Consumo de Cigarrillos en Cuba. Precio, Pandemia y Adicción
Authors: Suárez Lugo Nery
Published: January 2023

OBJETIVOS: Caracterizar el consumo de cigarrillos en la población cubana en el año 2021 y como específicos, estimar el consumo per cápita, precio y la elasticidad precio – demanda del cigarrillo.
MATERIAL Y MÉTODO: Estudio convencional, (no considera el carácter adictivo del cigarrillo), observacional descriptivo, transversal, cuanti-cualitativo, empleando: análisis de información secundaria, entrevista individual a informantes clave, observación no participante y criterio de expertos, con el Método Delphi modificado.
RESULTADOS: El consumo per cápita en la población cubana de 15 años y más, fue de 1 378,5 cigarrillos, decreciendo 10,32%, con relación al 2020. El precio promedio de la cajetilla de cigarrillos fue de 15,05 pesos cubanos, con un incremento del 34%. El coeficiente de elasticidad de la demanda fue inelástico (-3,29).
CONCLUSIONES: Se ratifica la inelasticidad precio - demanda de cigarrillos; los fumadores no resultaron lo suficientemente sensibles al incremento del precio de la cajetilla de cigarrillos. El mercado mantiene la característica de preferencia a adquirir los cigarrillos que se ofertan a menor precio. El decrecimiento del consumo per cápita de cigarrillos en la población cubana depende de factores económicos y sociales, más que de una estrategia científicamente argumentada para la reducción del tabaquismo.

Importancia de la Inteligencia Emocional en el Cambio del Clima Organizacional
Authors: Chávez Valencia Luis Elías , Sahade Cortés Marcela , Reyes López Octavio
Published: January 2023

Aunque el concepto de inteligencia presenta diversos matices, se considera como las diversas formas en que un individuo soluciona los problemas que tiene que afrontar al grupo que pertenece y cuando se trata de resolución de vicisitudes emocionales, su aportación recobra importancia. No obstante, la madurez emocional de dicho individuo está subordinado al sistema límbico, con dependencia a la homeostasis y el estado de ánimo, así como una alta interrelación con aspectos onto/filogenéticos. Así pues, la cultura organizacional y el clima laboral están supeditados a la madurez emocional de las personas, misma que el consultor o gurú debe de higienizar para realizar una intervención oportuna. A través de este ensayo, se realiza la exposición de dichos principios con base a un análisis hermenéutico de fuentes de información disponibles en el estado del arte, que evidencian la concurrencia entre las emociones y la gestión empresarial mediante la promoción de la inteligencia emocional y la homeostasis que un empleado debe poseer y que se manifiesta con los impulsos motivacionales que le permiten ser proactivo, colaborativo, cooperativo y que identifican al trabajador estrella o al líder estratégico en puesto gerencial que coadyuvan al cambio en el clima laboral tan necesario en la actualidad.

Authors: Ścibura Michał
Published: January 2023

Konflikty zbrojne, szczególnie międzynarodowe, są źródłem niebagatelnych problemów w perspektywie wymiaru sprawiedliwości wobec jednostek. W ich obliczu sądownictwo krajowe często okazuje się niewystarczające. Artykuł analizuje problematykę sądownictwa hybrydowego jako jednego z głównych rozwiązań wypracowanych przez międzynarodowe prawo karne w odpowiedzi na pojawiające się w tej przestrzeni problemy orzecznicze. Punktem wyjścia rozważań są Sąd Specjalny dla Sierra Leone — niemal modelowy wzorzec trybunału hybrydowego — oraz toczący się przed nim proces dyktatora uwikłanego w konflikt sierraleoński — Charlesa Taylora. Na przykładzie Sądu Specjalnego, jego struktury, jurysdykcji i orzecznictwa przedstawione zostaną charakterystyka sądownictwa umiędzynarodowionego, jak również korzyści i zagrożenia z nim związane.
Egy régen várt, online elérhető módszertani segédeszköz a gyermekorvosok és védőnők számára ‒ a „KidLongi - ONV2” szoftver
Authors: JOUBERT Kálmán , ZSÁKAI Annamária
Published: January 2023

. The Kidlongi - ONV2 software is a cloud-based software. It contains (1) the reference centiles, age-group mean and standard deviation values of the most important body measurements of children aged between 0–18 constructed on the basis of the research results of the Hungarian Longitudinal Growth Study (HLGS, 1980–2001); (2) the reference centiles of body height velocity between 3 and 18 years (HLGS); (3) the reference values of children’s (aged between 3 and 18 years) most important body measurements, which reference values were constructed on the basis of the Second Hungarian Growth Survey (HGS2, 2003–2006, data were collected cross-sectionally).
The longitudinal references (HLGS) allow to follow children’s growth by regular monitoring, while the cross-sectional reference values (HGS2) support the estimation of actual developmental status of children. The software provides simultaneous visualization of measured data in the mirror of both longitudinal and cross-sectional growth reference centiles. Measurements, figures containing children’s data and growth references can be downloaded and printed from the software.
The most important research results of both the longitudinal and cross-sectional studies are available in the Scientific background chapter. Additionally, the so-called MDN (maturity, development nutritional status) matrix method can also be learned in the software, which new method can estimate the body development, maturity and nutritional status at birth.
Párhuzamok és paradoxonok az uráli nyelvű népek populációgenetikai és nyelvi kapcsolatrendszereinek összehasonlítása során
Authors: NÉMETH Endre , VIGH József
Published: January 2023

Az N haplocsoportot gyakran hozták kapcsolatba az uráli nyelvek európai és nyugat-szibériai elterjedésével. Azonban az N haplocsoport meglehetősen gyakori vagy legalábbis nem elhanyagolható arányban fordul elő más kelet-európai, közép- és kelet-szibériai populációkban is, mint a lett, litván, észak-orosz, jakut, burját, jukagír, csukcs és az altaji nyelvű populációkban. E genetikai kapcsolatok egy része nyelvészeti szempontból is nagyon érdekes - nehezen interpretálható nyelvi kapcsolatokat is tartalmaz, mint például az uráli nyelvek és a földrajzilag távol eső csukcs nyelv közötti nyelvtani és lexikológiai kapcsolatokat. E jelenségeket mindeddig e népek közös szibériai gyökereivel magyarázták. A populációgenetika azonban új lehetőségeket kínál e jelenségek jobb megértésére, ezen túlmenően pedig új perspektívát kaphatunk az uráli nyelvcsalád belső felépítését, valamint az egyes nyelvi jelenségek lokalizálását és datálását illetően. Összességében úgy tűnik, hogy a feltételezett nyelvi és demográfiai folyamatok között meglepő párhuzamok és ellentmondások vannak.
Sebészeti beavatkozások nyomai a XVIII. századi váci múmiákon
Authors: SZIKOSSY Ildikó
Published: January 2023

The primary purpose was to find cases where traces of contemporary surgical interventions can be observed during the examination of the remains of mummified individuals excavated from the crypt of the Dominican Church of the Whites in Vác (1) to get closer to the surgical techniques of the 18th century, (2) to gain information about the way and quality of contemporary health care. Initially, the research focused mainly on the most exceptional, spectacular cases. We looked for traces of autopsy or amputation. Meanwhile, we also found less notable but similarly valuable cases, ones we did not even think about at first.

When studying the preserved body surface of mummies, we found traces of cuts and presumably found remnants of contemporary bandages. These may be traces of surgical interventions that have been used to treat the various wounds. Traces of long-term bed restraint were also discovered on the back body surface of some mummies. In these cases, no trace of the cubitus's possible healing was found; only an attempt was made to cover and spare the damaged skin with a bandage. In many cases, we observed bandage residues on various body regions and presumably even found residues of the sticky top layers used to secure the bandage.

Contemporary surgeons were able to cure and repair sprains, it appears that the dislocated fractures could not be appropriately treated. Two leg fractures healed with axial dislocation and limb shortening were found.

The two dissected cases are entirely different from each other. It is suggested that in the 18th century, there was no generally accepted method to perform an autopsy, and according to our investigations, there was no mandatory protocol for it.

The case of Terézia Borsodi is the second documented post-mortem caesarean section in Hungary known so far. The case of Terézia Borsodi can be considered a medical historical curiosity by providing an opportunity for a detailed analysis of the contemporary caesarean section technique. The case of Vác is also unique in the world. To the best of our knowledge, nowhere else in the world the corpse of a mother, who died during a caesarean section, has survived.

As a result of the research, we also found traces of clearly post-mortem cuts that do not suggest an autopsy to determine deaths. These were smaller, short cuts that were only large enough to remove an internal organ. In two cases, an incision was found around the heart.
Child-perceived parental support and knowledge in shared physical custody and other living arrangements for children
Authors: Turunen Jani , Hagquist Curt
Published: January 2023

Objective: The aim of this paper is to develop an understanding of how child-perceived parental support and knowledge among children in Sweden differ across ten forms of residential arrangement.
Background: Shared physical custody has become an increasingly common arrangement for children in separated families in many European countries. In an international comparison, Sweden has a high rate of parental union dissolution but also the highest prevalence of shared physical custody arrangements following divorce or separation. Over a third of all children with divorced or separated parents spend an equal amount of time living in both parental households.
Method: We used data from the Swedish HBSC survey from 2013/14, which are focused on children in grades 5, 7 and 9 in the Swedish comprehensive school system (n=7360) and used perceived parental support and perceived parental knowledge scales as dependent variables in multiple ordered logistic regressions conducted separately by the sex of the parent.
Results: The results show that children in shared physical custody report higher levels of parental support and knowledge than children in sole physical custody and equally high as those who live in a two-parent family. Children living in non-symmetrical physical custody arrangements report lower levels of paternal support and knowledge than children whose parents share physical custody equally. Maternal support and knowledge does not differ between children living in symmetrical and non-symmetrical shared physical custody arrangements, whereas paternal support and knowledge is lower in families where the child lives in an unequal residential sharing arrangement with the mother as the main co-residential parent.
Conclusion: Post-divorce living arrangements are clearly associated with the relationship between parents and children, with children in shared physical custody reporting stronger relationships than children in sole physical custody. The cross-sectional nature of the data prevents us from drawing conclusions on causality, however.

Published: January 2023

Проаналізовано особливості використання функції Джимана-МакКлура, які ґрунтуються на її властивостях, при прогнозуванні у телекомунікаціях процесів з аномаліями чи відхиленнями за допомогою авторегресійної моделі AR(p). Запропоновано модифікацію AR(p) моделі, яка полягає у поданні похибки прогнозування в метриці Джимана-МакКлура, що базується на цій функції, та подальшому визначенні коефіцієнтів AR(p) моделі в цій метриці на основі представлених у статті рівнянь, які є аналогом рівнянь Юла-Уокера при поданні похибки прогнозування AR(p) моделі в метриці L2. На основі порівняльного аналізу та моделювання встановлено, що AR(p) модель в метриці Джимана-МакКлура у порівнянні з класичною AR(p) моделлю в метриці L2 дозволяє підвищити точність прогнозування у телекомунікаціях процесів з аномаліями чи відхиленнями до 1,5 раза, а ефективність її використання зростає при збільшенні порядку моделі p та ступеня корельованості процесу, що підлягає прогнозуванню. Показано, що практичне використання в телекомунікаціях запропонованої модифікації AR(p) моделі в метриці Джимана-МакКлура є найбільш ефективним та доцільним для довгострокового прогнозування (великі значення порядку моделі p) сильно корельованих процесів, які можуть характеризуватися наявністю аномалій чи відхилень, при відносно великих значеннях внутрішнього параметра цієї метрики, що забезпечує швидкодію обчислень при прогнозуванні процесів без суттєвого погіршення його точності.

Published: January 2023

Abstract: Changes in sugar composition occur continuously in plants tissues, at different develop-mental stages. Tuber dormancy induction, stability, and breaking are very critical developmental transitions in yam crop production. Prolonged tuber dormancy after physiological maturity has constituted a great challenge in yam genetic improvement and productivity. In the present study, biochemical profiling of non-structural sugar in yam tuber during dormancy was performed to determine the role of non-structural sugar in yam tuber dormancy regulation. Two genotypes of white yam specie; one local genotype (Obiaoturugo) and (TDr1100873) were used for this study. Tubers were sampled at (42, 56, 87, 101, 115, and 143) days after physiological maturity (DAPM). Obiaoturugo exhibited a short dormant phenotype and sprouted at 101DAPM, whereas TDr1100873 exhibited a long-dormant phenotype, and sprouted at 143DAPM. Significant metabolic changes were observed in non-structural sugar parameters, dry matter, and moisture content in Obiaoturugo from 56DAPM, whereas, in TDr1100873 significant metabolic changes were observed from 101DAPM. It was observed that the onset of these metabolic changes occurred at a point when the tubers of both genotypes exhibited dry matter content of 60%, indicating that dry matter content of 60% might be a critical threshold for white yam tuber sprouting. Nonreducing sugars increased by 9-10-fold during sprouting in both genotypes which indicates its key role in tuber dormancy regulation in white yam. This result implies that some key sugar metabolites can be targeted for dormancy manipulation of yam crop.

Published: January 2023

Anatomical airways parameters as length, diameter and angles have a strong effect on the flow dynamics. Aiming to explore the effect of variations of the bifurcation angle (BA) and carina rounding radius (CRR) of lower human airways on the respiratory processes, numerical simulations of airflow during inhalation and exhalation were performed using a synthetic bifurcation models. Geometries for the airways models were parameterized based on a set of different BA’s and several CRR’s. A range of Reynolds numbers (Re) relevant to the human breathing process were selected to analyzed the airflow behaviour. The numerical results show a significant influence of BA and the CRR on the development of the airflow within the airways, and therefore affecting some relevant features of the flow, namely the deformation of velocity profiles, alterations of pressure drop, the secondary flow patterns, and finally enhance or attenuation of wall shear stresses (WSS) appearing during the regular respiratory process. A particular relationship between velocity profiles, vorticity and the secondary flow patterns is also discussed.

Published: January 2023

The study aimed to determine the relationship between glucose, C-peptide, BDNF, and leptin between mother and fetus and neonatal weight. Methods: In the prospective observational cohort study, we included 66 women with T1DM. According to the z-score for neonatal weight, patients were divided into Healthy weight neonates (n=42) and Overweight neonates (n=24). The maternal blood samples were taken during pregnancy and cesarean section when the umbilical vein blood sample was also withdrawn. The maternal vein sera were analyzed for fasting glucose, CRP, leptin, BDNF, TSH, FT3, and FT4. The umbilical vein sera were analyzed for glucose, C-peptide, leptin, TSH, FT3, FT4, and BDNF concentration. The neonatologist measured the skinfold thickness on the third day of neonatal life. Results: A strong correlation was confirmed between maternal and umbilical vein glucose concentration and maternal glucose and C-peptide in umbilical vein blood. A negative correlation was found between the concentration of BDNF in the umbilical vein and glucose in maternal blood. A strong correlation was seen between BMI and maternal blood leptin concentration, neonatal fat body mass, and umbilical vein blood leptin concentration. Increased odds for Overweight neonates were BMI, BDNF, and TSH in the first trimester of pregnancy. Maternal leptin concentration decreased the odds of Overweight neonates. Conclusions: Maternal glucose concentrations affect the fetus’s glucose, C-peptide, and BDNF concentrations. Leptin levels increase in maternal blood due to increased body mass index, and in the neonate, its fat body mass is responsible for increased leptin concentrations.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is caused by clonal disorders of hematopoietic stem cells. Differentiation therapy is emerging as an important treatment modality for leukemia, given its less toxicity and wider applicable population, but the arsenal of differentiation-inducing agents is still very limited. In this study, we adapted a competitive peptide phage display platform to search for candidate peptides that could functionally induce human leukemia cell differentiation. A monoclonal phage (P6) and the corresponding peptide (pep-P6) was identified. Both L- and D-chirality of pep-P6 showed potent efficiency in inducing THP-1 cells differentiation, driving their morphologic maturation and upregulating the expression of macrophage markers and cytokines including CD11b, CD14, IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α. In the THP-1 xenograft animal model, administration of D-pep-P6 was effective in inhibiting tumor growth. Importantly, exposure to D-pep-P6 induced the differentiation of primary human leukemia cells isolated AML patients in a similar manner to the THP-1 cells. Further mechanical study suggested that D-pep-P6 induced human leukemia cell differentiation by directly activating a TLR-2 signaling pathway. These findings identify a novel D-peptide that may promote leukemia differentiation therapy.

Published: January 2023

Covid-19 vaccination has proven to be an effective measure to reduce morbidity and mortality. However, some reports have linked Covid-19 vaccination with alterations in menstruation. Considering that menstruation is an important health component for people who menstruate, this information may cause hesitancy to get vaccinated. There are limited systematic reviews regarding the impact of Covid-19 vaccination on changes in menstrual patterns. Therefore, it is necessary to review the available literature on this topic. A systematic review was done in accordance with the PRISMA statement. The literature search was done by hand and on four databases: PubMed, EMBASE, ProQuest, and CENTRAL. All found articles were screened based on predetermined criteria. Articles that meet the requirements were critically appraised and analyzed. Fourteen (14) articles consisting of 11 cross-sectional studies and 3 cohorts were found. The outcomes mentioned in the studies include changes in menstrual cycle range, durations, estimated blood quantities, and menstruation symptoms. There are changes in the menstrual pattern after the administration of the Covid-19 vaccination, in the form of irregular menstruation, menorrhagia, worsening of menstruation symptoms, and intermenstrual bleeding. However, these changes only occur temporarily. Therefore, the administration of the Covid-19 vaccination is beneficial for people who menstruate.
Redefining Rebranding: Identity-Image Dynamics
Authors: Garg Vaishali , Mishra Abhishek
Published: January 2023

Extant rebranding conceptualisation limits its scope to redesigning the visual brand identity elements, whereas practical and academic references suggest otherwise. Motivated by this, our study strives to build a holistic understanding of this phenomenon by proposing a comprehensive rebranding framework. This study proposes a conceptual model of rebranding based on the identity–image dynamics. For doing so, we have conceptualised rebranding as a comprehensive change of existing brand identity, triggered by construed brand image discrepancy. The model defines rebranding as a change in the core and external brand identities, with those having a concomitant effect on construed brand image discrepancy to create an alignment. Further, leadership, quality of change communication, employee participation and brand age have been proposed as enabling conditions for the process. The model will assist managers in rebranding decisions as it places equal emphasis on its rightful conception and successful implementation. This will also sensitize managers about their pivotal role in getting the employee’s buy-in for the process, which is critical for achieving the desired results.

Published: January 2023

Background
Health and safety protocols have become a requirement to promote rural tourism (PRT). From this perspective, this paper empirically analyses how the health and safety dimensions influence the happiness of hotel managers and rural tourists in the post-Covid 19 era.
Methods
A theory-based structural equation model will be carried out of activation of norms, that measures variables: sanitary, socioeconomic and security. Precisely, we will measure how those three attributes affect the managers and guests' health in rural areas and their search for happiness at the destination. Based on the above, a field of study has been 215 rural tourist accommodations in the Extremadura region (Spain) and a sample population of 443 guests. Data were organised through the SEM-PLS path modelling
Results
The results achieved statistically show the need to undertake a new model of healthier and safer tourism consumption that values the tourist resources of rural areas, especially nearby and sustainable destinations, based on the guiding principles of safety, health, and happiness.
Conclusions
The first conclusion is that promoting tourist destinations under safe and healthy conditions has become a priority objective in the tourism industry. The second conclusion that follows from the first is that the variables safety and health and the pursuit of happiness are essential factors in promoting tourist destinations for rural hotel managers and rural tourists. The third conclusion related to the first two is that the opportunity that this study provides to develop strategies of an innovative, sustainable, and creative nature based on the relationships of the new trinomial of health, safety and happiness, from the perspective of happiness management.

The aim of this study was to revealed the core fungal mechanisms for the transformation of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) during co-composting of spent mushroom substrate(SMS) and corn steep liquor (CSL) process. There were two treatments: CK (fully SMS) and CP (CK + 0.5% CSL). The results indicated that the core fungi, fungal community structure and fungal diversity were the main driving forces for the transformation of C and N during composting. The rich nutrition in CSL changed fungal community structure, increased the abundance and diversity of fungi in the early stage, but decreased in the late stage of composting, promoted the conversion and conservation of C and N in composting. Core fungus in the C and N transformation were identified. The compensating effects of core fungi were encouraged in CP composting. The influence of core fungus on the C and N conversion could be divided into two pathways in CP, One was that core fungi promoted organic C and N degradation by increasing the abundance and diversity of fungi; while the other was promoted the the synthesis of organic C and N by the complementarity effects of core fungal, contribute to the C and N conservation in compost. These findings showed that the addition of CSL to composting was a promising application to treat SMS with lower C/N ratio.
Understanding the role of climate change in disaster mortality: Empirical evidence from the Global South

Published: January 2023

Climatic disaster impacts, such as loss of human life as its most severe consequence, have been rising globally. Several studies argue that population growth is responsible for the rise, and the role of climate change is not evident. While disaster mortality is highest in low-income countries, existing studies focus mostly on developed countries. Here we address this impact attribution question in the context of the Global South using disaster-specific mixed-effects regression models. We show that the rise in landslide and flood mortality in a low-income country such as Nepal between 1992-2021 is primarily attributable to increased precipitation extremes. An increase in one standardized unit in maximum one-day precipitation increases flood mortality by 33%, and heavy rain days increase landslide mortality by 45%. Similarly, a one-unit increase in per capita income decreases landslide and flood mortality by 30% and 45%, respectively. Population density does not show significant effects.

Background
Validity of the cognitive-behavioral model of eating disorders model has not be examined among women of Eastern socities. Thus, the current study aimed to explore the validity of cognitive behavioral model of eating disorders in Iranian student women.
Methods
Five hundred sixteen student women completed a battery of questionnaires.
Results
The path anlysis results idicated that both models provided a good fit. In the original model, overvaluation of shape and weight associated with dietary restraint and binge eating (.51). Binge eating and dietary restraint correlated with purging (.18 & .20). However, there was a weak, non-significant negative path between Dietary Restraint and Binge Eating (-.03). In the enhanced model of eating disorders, significant path was revealed between self-esteem and overvaluation of shape and weight (-.21); clinical perfectionism and overvaluation of shape and weightv (.17); Overvaluation of shape and weight and dietary restraint (.51); Overvaluation of shape and weight and binge eating (.63); binge eating and purging (.18); dietary restraint and purging (.15); and interpersonal problems and binge eating (.13). However, clinical perfectionism was not significantly associated with dietary restraint (.07). Distress tolerance did not significantly correlate with binge eating (-.02) and purging (-.06). Interpersonal problems were not associated with dietary restraint (-.02) and purging (.09). Finally, dietary restraint did not correlate with binge eating (-.02).
Conclusion
The findings provide preliminary evidence for cross-cultural validity of the original and enhanced CB- BN models in Iranian population. It implies that this model can be used as a basis for further understanding of eating problems in Iranian women and their treatment.
